St. Stephen High School Port Huron, Michigan presents THE STEPHECHO of 1964 V olume viii I Our challenge of tomorrow: we face it today at St. Stephen’s. Challenge is one word that summarizes the life of the final graduating class of St. Stephen Higfi. Whether it be a challenge of friendship, a challenge of knowledge, a challenge of faith, a challenge of hap- piness, or a challenge of sportsmanship, it is still a challenge. Every school day and every day thereafter presents a challenge to the class of ’64. The student was constantly being challenged to make this year a memorable year - one that would show the 2 world that the St. Stephen spirit never dies. We found this challenge in being the closing chapter of a col- orful 66-year history of a high school, and by uphold- ing traditions venerated by everyone who ever consid- ered St. Stephen’s “home”. We hope these pages of the final edition of the Stephecho will prove to the reader how well we have accepted the challenge of holding high the standards of a dying St. Stephen High School.

Father DeMars and Father Van derLinden have influenced our way of thought, our daily routine, and our promising future. They have been our guides who have inspired and counseled us, the youth of America, along to maturity. Now that we are on the brink of gradu- ation, ready to take that inevitable step into a demanding and complex society, grat- tiude fills our hearts to our priests, our teachers, and our parents who have helped to impart to us the ideals of the real Christian men and women of today. priest’s time is never his own.

With only seniors, the curriculum was the same as previous years. Under the competent leadership of Sister M. Coronata, principal, the faculty - Sister Jean Baptiste, Sister M. Evangelista, Sister Har- old Marie, Mr. Robert Sheehan, and Mr. Michael Gkekas - gave the sen- iors every spiritual, social, scho- lastic, and athletic advantage. Both, Mr. Gkekas and Mr. Sheehan, managed the sports program: golf, track, football, and basketball. Besides her duties as principal, Sister Coronata advised the news- paper staff. Sister Jean Baptiste monitored the yearbook, Student Council, and the National Honor Society. English and commercial departments were headed by Sister Evangelista, while Sister Harold Marie guided the Future Teachers. Sister Coronata, takes some of her precious time from a busy day’s schedule as principal to make an early announcement of the day’s important activities to the student body. Coach Michael Gkekas plans some strategic plays for St. Stephen’s final football team, an all-senior squad. The teacher’s work is not finished when school is dismissed. Here Sister Jean Baptiste, drafting instructor, checks jobs drawn by her draftsmen. 7 OUR CHALLENGE OF TOMORROW . . . • • . . . WE FACE IT TODAY BY . . SPIRITUAL GROWTH The keystone of Catholic education is the idea that man has a destiny beyond the merely human, that he is a temporal being who also faces existence in eternity. Many spiritual means are given to the class of 64 to en- able them to meet courageously the difficul- ties and problems of everyday living. What greater challenge is there for the seniors than to be living in this age marked with scientific achievements; some of which are being used for the destruction of man, while they were intended by God to enable man to advance in the knowledge of the real, the true source of all power— God. In religious instructions an appreciation of their Faith and their commitment to it was noted and studied. Ways and means to make this Faith a vibrant, living force were emphasized. As knowledge is food for the mind so is Holy Mass for the soul. The seniors have a privilege few possess, the opportunity for daily Mass and Communion. For a half hour each day, they may leave their worries and obligations behind and seek the strength in God to bravely face the challenges of the day. Each year the students are given the op- portunity to draw closer to God by taking an inventory of their spirituality. Three days of retreat are at their disposal. It is up to each individual to get the most out of re- treat. A schedule of conferences and prayer is set up for their thinking, and sp iritual reading is provided. Three days of precious school retreat recalls to the seniors their own eternal destinies; this brief period is a time of serious contemplation and of prayer. As a group of tenth graders we worshiped God at Mass, and now as Seniors we will soon face this obligation as one of our own responsibilities. Our use of the missal through these years have helped us to participate more fully in the greatest prayer-the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Four senior altar boys prepare the altar for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Jody Platzer lights the candles as Ed Grattan sets the altar card in the correct position. Bill Wilson places the Missal on the altar, while Bill Dunn prepares the credence table. Father Van der Lindendirects these boys who have been servers on the altar of God since their early elementary school days. On the days of important games, the Varsity Club prays the Playing their well-earned jackets, the members set an ex- rosary in order to gain heavenly assistance. Proudly dis- cellent example for the students of St. Stephen’s School. 10 Our hearts and thoughts turn to God and His Mother Before First Friday many students go to confession in prep- aration for Holy Communion. Father Van derLinden is glad to spend as much time as necessary in the confessional to hear everyone. Here Father leaves as students give thanks to God. FrancineMalane and Mrs. John Tomalo make ready to sing the school year the strains of the Kyrie can be heard the Propers from the mass of the day. Each day during as Mass Twelve is chanted by the entire student body. 11 Seniors find that the best method of participating in the Holy Sacrifice is by using their missals and by singing. Father Carl Longanback C.P.P.S. con- ducts the annual high school retreat. Father Longanback tells the seniors that retreat is a challenge of soul. The more put into retreat, the more benefits will come from it. It is a time for union with God in prayer. In the closing conference Father ex- horts the seniors to be true follow- ers of Christ in all they attempt. 12 High school retreat offers During retreat many students make use of the opportunity to make the Way of the Cross between the conferences each day. time to think about future retreatants to Vph ? I reception of Holy Commun reireatants to keep the spirit of prayer during the three days. Time is set aside each day for individual mental prayer. It is a chance to talk to God in a special way about our own needs. Father Bernard Harrington tells us that a retreat is a time to think seriously about a religious vocation. 13 OUR CHALLENGE OF TOMORROW . . . . . . WE FACE IT TODAY BY ... . KNOWLEDGE Academics present a challenge in learning to the seniors of 64. They face the task of upholding the scholastic standards maintained by past classes at St. Stephen High. With a diminished student body and consequently small- er classes, the seniors are challenged to ex- tract the most benefit from each class period. Instructors are tops in their respective fields and provide the stimulus to inspire the seniors on to new heights of learning. Despite the high school’s drastic drop in enrollment, the one hundred and three seniors are offered a myriad of courses. The founda- tion of their religion for this year’s class is a preparation for marriage as well as an instruction in the task of being lay apostles. American history and government help to make responsible citizens of tomorrow. Economics allows students to study the “dollars and cents” aspect of the richest nation on earth. English broadens a student’s horizons and prepares him for college as well as the busi- ness world or a career of homemaking. Math IV acquaints the students with advanced trig- onometry and analytical geometry concepts. Physics explains to the SSHS student the phe- nomena of the world about him. French and Latin IV make the student aware of today’s world and peoples as well as past centuries of civilization. Art, journalism, and draft- ing offer the pupil an opportunity for prac- tical preparation for a life’s occupation. And so the members of the final graduating class of St. Stephen’s passes the months pre- ceding their graduation, accepting the chal- lenge to learn, bearing the torch of scholar- ship the past classes have borne so nobly. A school dies out, but its spirit lives on. Seniors like the atmosphere of the school library.

Diane Zimmer moderates the discussion, which is while Barbara Miller and Rosemary Payne disagree on one of part of the seniors’ course to prepare them for marriage. “Oh, dear Lord, help me to remember that answer ’prays George Stebb- ings with his gaze fixed on the crucifix. He ponders thoughtfully upon that mystifying question on a senior marriage examination. At a senior girls’ vocation lecture, Father Bernard Harrington, poses the query “Is a religious vocation the life for you?”. Marilyn Herrick, Julie Anderson, and Janet Beatty are inquisitive as they examine a pamphlet on the extreme importance of a vocation. 16 The “Rumor Clinic” brings gleeful break in the senior girls’ Schwartz, and Sandra Versaw enjoy Gloria Halifax’s version of religion class. Bonnie McCormick, Joan Hazelman, Pamela a story, told for the fourth time. How the story changed! Religion classes aid future adults in right living As we drew close to the time when we must take our places in modem society, our final religious instruction was so designed as to guide us to a better and deeper understanding of our duties and privileges as young Christian men and women in a pagan, materialistic world. It combined a unit on the Preparation for Marriage, a concise course on Apol- ogetics and an intensive study of the meaningand purpose of Christian living. This course helped us to dissolve lin- gering traces of excessive individual- ism in our Christian living and piety. It brought an awareness to us of the true Christian social principles. Dave Osgood (standing) debates a point with Bill Przedwojewski, chairman, in a panel on Father B. F. Meyer ' s book, “Lend Me Your Hands. 99 Others participating were: (left to right) Douglas Nelson, Dick Fawcett, Edwin Grattan, and Charles Sheldon. 17 Social studies mold responsible, alert good citizens Seniors learn to appreciate their country Realizing the future depends on today’s youth, the seniors endeav- or to see in their study of United States History and American Gov’t, how it helps to solve difficulties of the present in the light of the past. It is from these experiences that man has learned how to improve the way of doing things and how to form better decisions in the future. In Economics, the seniors study the problems that make up their daily living, the vital issues of National Income, and other economic problems which face the individual and society as a whole. These courses aid the student to understand world progress and gives them an alert mind. “Which ad is best?” In the economics class, Marion Johnson tabulates the results of a poll of the best television commercials.

Students take avid Trig and Physics give challenges toSeniors During the last year in existence of St. Stephen High, the curriculum did not falter because of the small number of pupils. Science and Math, being so important in the future of college-bound students, were main- tained at the same pace as in other years. Sister Harold Marie present- ed interested students the principles of Physics and Trigonometry. With the help of such visual aids as the overhead projector, she made these subjects come to life for the last graduating group of our school. In class, those skills important for college were stressed. Students became proficient in the use of the slide rule and of logarithms. Atomic structure in regards to physics was very important. Those who attended these classes will be thankful for them when they go to the university. Sister Harold Marie gives Bill Wilson a few pointers as he on force.

Numerous timings help improve the speed of the fingers on the keyboard. Pos itions in the business world require accuracy and speed. Folding a business letter takes “know- how”. Kathy Kieman studies the correct procedure in folding that business letter. “Can’t let Sister see that,” says Den- nis Kinch as he quickly erases the let- ter that he mistyped, “Spelling counts.” 26 Typing, Drafting students learn precision, and accuracy Classes teach skills for the future Some factors in becoming a success in the industrial world are neatness, accuracy, precis- ion and finger dexterity. The development of these character- istics is a part of the training of future typists and draftsmen. Two years of typing affords the typists the necessary skills to apply for a position in the business world. A certificate of proficiency in drafting often affords a job opportunity otherwise improbable. Bob Farrington adds the final touches to the floor plan of his dream home. Architectural drawing challenges the ingenuity of second year draftsmen. Ray Jawor, realizing the demands of modem pro- gress in the industrial world, follows direct- ions with precision and detail in his drawing. George Fountain concentrates on line technique in a test on details and dimensioning in Drafting I. 27 With quick dexterity, Michael Selepack uses his lettering and poster-making techniques to whip up a sign for Coach Robert Sheehan and the Varsity Club.

PHYSICAL FITNESS As soon as the doors of St. Stephen High closed for the 1962-63 school year, the new seniors anxiously looked forward to the fu- ture. With only 44 boys in the class, much hard work was expected from all. These in- spired athletes were determined to make the last year of St. Stephen’s the best. The football training was tough, but practice makes perfect. A state basketball title was the goal for the basketball squad. As this goes to print, the Hornets have won their second St. Clair Area League title. The golf team, with four returning lettermen, have an ex- cellent chance to take all SCAL honors this spring. Track season was looked forward to by many. This entusiasm was encouraging. Yes, it might have been the last year of St. Stephen’s but 44 strong-willed boys played hard to make it the best season ever attained. Football season was filled with many heart- breaks. Of the eight games the team played, four of these were one-point decisions. Un- fortunately, the Hornets came out on top in only one of those contests, which was the first game of the season against Detroit St. Joseph. Though the record was three wins and five losses, Hornet fans found much about which to cheer. Basketball season brought much excitement— a league championship, which included victories over both Port Huron Cath- olic and rival Marysville. The state class D title is the goal for the team now. Spring sports, such as golf and track, will prove that our boys are truly all-round athletes. A golf award has a fine chance of finding its way into our trophy case. The Athletic Assoc- iation did a wonderful job in sponsoring as many sports as possible, in spite of the few boys left to answer the challenge. Four members of the last St. Stephen foot- ball team shed their equipment for the last time. These four, Greg Duva, Mike Fruge, Jody Platzer, and John Vandenbossche earn- ed at least honorable mention in the post- season SCAL awards for their excellent play.

The twenty -three members of this team compiled a total of three wins and five loses, losing three by one point. Hornets win honors after rugged season In 1963 Saint Stephen High fielded its last football team. Our class D all-senior squad played a schedule against class B teams in the tough St. Clair Area League, for the last time. We received numerous compli- ments from many of our opponents on the quality of our backs’ run- ning and linemens’ blocking. League honors were presented to backs: Mike Fruge, John Van- denbossche, and Jody Platzer, and linemen: Greg Duva, Dennis Kinch, and Richard Fawcett. Mike Fruge also was awarded honors by the all-state board. He was elected to a berth on the first team in class C-D. Vandenbossche (32) dives for six as Mike Fruge (36) throws a key block. 32 FOOTBALL RECORD We They St. Joseph 26 25 Marine City 32 33 Yale 21 13 Marysville 26 27 St. Clair 6 27 Richmond 32 18 Cros-Lex 6 7 Algonac 19 32 Jody Platzer (20) and George Steb- bings (31) join forces to tackle Mariner fullback Ron Rhoades, (76) after a short gain.

Mariners edge Hornets in fierce fight The Hornets and Marine City High turned on a high powered offensive show in a St. Clair Area League football game before 1,750 Homecoming fans at Memorial Stadium with the Mariners win- ning the contest 33-32. Although the Mariners attack was a bit more prolific, the Hornets were more explosive as they came up with five touchdowns, three of them electrifying long distance dashes that fans love. In one of these runs, the Hornets went 70 yards in two plays, with Mike Fruge running 66 for the third Hornet touchdown. Mike Fruge, charging halfback, scores his first touchdown against Marine City High at Memorial Stadium. Fruge ' s two scoring efforts were not enough as the Mariners nipped the Hornets. 33 Defense fails Hornets’ bid for victory over rivals Ugh!” exclaims a squashed Viking as a host of Hornet tacklers stop Marysville for the first time. The play originated on the S.S. one-yard line. The Vikings had four attempts from here, but failed on each. Marysville won the close game by one point.

The offense ran up 368 yards rushing with 324 between Mike Fruge and John Vandenbossche. Although handicapped by the loss of end Bob Abdoo, due to knee injuries, the Hornets shored up some of its defen- sive weaknesses and for three quarters blanked Yale High winning the game, 21-13.

They are faced with the task of fending for themselves in the field of extra-curricular activities. The high school faculty puts forth generous assistance to help the last class to perpetuate the traditionally vigor- ous and active spirit of cooperation among the students. No new clubs were organized during the final year at St. Stephen’s; there was no need, for decades had provided for every whim and aspiration of an industrious student body. The seniors are appreciative of such an array of extra-curricular activi- ties provided for their finale both as a class and as a high school. Father DeMars, Mother Corona ta, the Sisters, and the Athle- tic Association are among the many who are giving their utmost to make the last year an impressive proof of undying St. Stephen vitality. The National Honor Society establishes the pace for the school’s list of activities. The Student Council acquaints St. Stephen students with the principles of self-govern- ment. The Varsity Club affords an occasion for the boys to exercise the sportsmanship qualities which participation in competitive sports imparts to them. The Future Nurses Club and the Future Teachers Association al- low high school aspirants to these careers a chance to be “apprentices”. “The Hornets Nest” and the “Stephecho” provide outlets for the zealous energy of budding journalists. The Girls’ Athletic Association (GAA) allows the athletically-inclined girls a chance to enter the man’s world of sports. The Homecoming festivities, including the parade, the game, the queen and her court, and the dance crowns a long, colorful, and unforgettable history of St. Stephen football. Members of the National Honor Society prepare for their investiture as permanent members of the Society. Left to right are: Sharon Zimmer, Roseann Hayes, Francine Malane, Margaret Mc- Evoy, Nancy Dunn, Ronald Horbes, Kathy Gaffney, Frances Twiss, William Wilson, Joan Czamecki, Beverly Price, Catherine Gleason, Joanne Dangel, and John Bower.

The the other officers and homeroom representatives to council hopes this to be a most memorable evening. Student Coundl centralizes other student organizations Strong leadership sets pace The Student Council ' s main endeavor was to help strength- en faculty-student relation- ship. Ever eager to benefit both, the school and the stu- dent, this organization assist- ed at many functions. Its president was master of cere- monies at general assemblies and pep meetings. The group sponsored the annual semi- formal Christmas Hop. To fur- ther school spirit monetary a- wards were given to winners in poster and other contests. “Did he ask you yet? ’ Nancy Dunn asks Margaret Bennett as they and Francine Malane work on table dec- corations. A small Christmas tree for each table is their project. 50 The Student Council presented its tenth and final Holly Hop on December 27. The seniors and alumni with their dates danced to the melodious sounds of the Collegiates in the gaily -dec orated gym which seemed to the seniors to truly be a Winter Wonderland.

A nostalgic feeling arose now and then, when one reflected that their events marked the final Homecoming fest- ivities that would be celebrated by members of St. Stephen High. What made this particular Home - coming night different from those of other years? An answer to the unforgettable feeling was the sad realization that this was the end, the termination of these festivit- ies. The year marked the close of St. Stephen High School. Ever mindful of the challenge to carry on the traditional events of the day, the class of ' 64 un- dauntingly put on an enthusiastic pep meeting, a colorful parade, and a memorable dance with a regal Queen and her lovely court. “They ' re all good! Mr. Fran Cogley murmurs to his fellow judges, Mr. Mel Crawford, Mr. Jack Steinbom, and Mr. William Wilson in their dilemma to pick the best decorated car. Spirited cheerleaders, Alma Bleau, Gloria Halifax, Margie Bennett, Kitty Cogley and Sherry Bowman lead the parade to the stadium. The anxious crowd of bystanders observes the busy preparations for the afternoon parade through town. 58 During half-time ceremonies, Jill Erickson, radiant Homecoming Queen, is crowned by our Student Council President, Bill Wilson, Jr. Jill ' s royal appear ance dominated the festivities after the game. Nancy Dunn, Janet Beatty, Joanne Dangel, and Barbara Tate share with Queen Jill Erickson a glorious night marking the final homecoming events of St. Stephen High.

WE FACE IT TODAY BY ... . GRADUATION Graduation is a challenge to the class of 1964. Perhaps some members of the class also think of it as a tearful parting with high school friends and good times. Some might regard graduation as a joyful escape from twelve years of mental drudgery. Many of the seniors see graduation as a steppingstone to a continuing education in college. But no matter how one may particularly view the act of receiving his high school diploma, gradua- ting still demands a challenge: it invites the seniors to abandon the security and shelter of a high school world with all its familiar faces, places, and traditions. Graduation summons the seniors to leave familiarity and warmth and to submit themselves to the harsh, cold scrutiny of today ' s society. Seniors are challenged to move ahead into their “new frontier , a “new frontier in education, in family life, in business, in society. Seniors ready themselves for the challenge of graduation by accepting the challenge of the senior year. The legendary “senior year presents the twelfth-graders with countless opportunities to demonstrate that they are fit to be acclaimed “graduates . Seniors are faced with the academic challenge of each day ' s classes. They meet the challenge of athletics more ably than any other class of St. Stephen ' s has ever done. Through partic- ipation in the Mass and the sacraments, the class accepts the challenge to be active lay apostles. Seniors bind themselves by the challenge to educate themselves for a social world. And finally, at the top of the ladder, they are challenged to leave behind the fam- iliar way of high school and begin climbing the ladder of life. Together they have met the challenge of high school; alone they must now face the challenge of an uncertain world. Mr. Robert Sheehan shares the mixed feelings of joy and sadness of senior class officers: Secretary Sha- ron Zimmer, President Robert Abdoo, Vice-president Kathleen Gaffney, and Treasurer John Bower as they leave the halls of St. Stephen High to begin their journey through life as graduates of St. Stephen ' s.

This atmosphere of quiet activity gives the students numerous chances for concentrative studies and research. It offers untold opportunities for gathering information on various assigned subjects. Colleen Stuart and Patricia Stimmel join in the last minute rush as they probe through the card catalogue for names of references needed for their term papers that are due periodically throughout the school year.
