ALMA MATER farewell. most noble Alma Mater, we bid thee au revoir. May our heart strings forever hind us to thy portals and always inllame our hearts to that love whi ii you have always cherished for us. Sweeter than all other past exper- iences are the beloved and mo-at precious memories of those four years which we sltared with you. How our hearts tremble and beat. when we look back upon those various activities in which we participated. How we enjoyed fighting lor the Black and Gold on the gridiron. on the hardwood floor or in other various aciiflties for your honor and glory, All these. most noble in-:tructor we bury deep. deep in our hearts. to remain there forever for us to gaze hack through the yearn to those golden rule days. Then to feel the pang. and the sorrow, and tt: sight with heartfelt regret that we are out now. never to return as students. but only as visitors, 'lihese are the thoughts and the soliloquy of every senior of '31, now at the most important act ol' that great stage. l.lFE. 'lihe eyes of the world gale upon them to view the fruits which they have derived and benefited from their four successful years in high school. Many will go Out into the world with the knowledge they have received and struggle to the top. Others perhaps will not be so successful. they may be failures. utterly ruined. but their high school edu- cation at St. Vv'endelin will always remain with them and be their hope. May' the guiding hand of St. Wendelin forever lead us onward, out of the darkness. into the realms of success. where we may gaze back and dreamT Sweet dreams of the happy moments which you gave us. Send forth thy brilliant rays of light most loving parent, and lead us onward. Be our guide in these most trying days. Inspire us with a will for real success. Thus with broken voices. we. the seniors of '31, bid thee Au Revoir. Vile are gone but you. Alma Mater. are not forgotten.

So much they have given. so much we have taken and so little alas. re- turned. Our heartfelt thanks go out to the Archbishop. Samuel A. Stritch. who played an active part in the erection of a greater home of education for us, and to the Rev. A. A.Weber who. since he poured the waters of baptism over our heads, has been interested in our spiritual welfare. We shall never forget our kind principal. the Rev. R. V. O'Connor. student friend and adviser. who has prayed. planned, and worked so hard to afford us such a graduation. We know. we have his blessing, his best wishes, his kind thoughts and beg that his years will be pleasant with thoughts, fondly recalled in after years. To our home room teacher. Sister Mary Madeleine, who is most dear to student hearts. who has been patient, kind and understanding throughout the year, we extend our thanks. May her prayer for us go straight to God. To Sister Mary Norbertine. who guided us through our first year of high school life: to Sister Mary Bertha. whom we shall never forget: to Sister Mary Louann and Sister Mary Geneva who have made us better fit to meet the business world, we pay tribute. To Cyril C. Scharf. good friend of the school. builder of body and char- acter: to Rev. Carl Scheib who in the short time with us has already made his way into student life: to Miss A. M. Wammes who was at all times inter- ested in student affairs. always willing to explain a difficult problem over and over again, who has afforded us a splendid scientific education. we are forever grateful. May their efforts not have been in vain. but noble men and women, formed from the principles imbibed in high school life. be our thanks to them S ix I ee n 3 ,Q F1105 LI 7 -va-,. i - 1 . .1 2 ,, T':1..,,-, ., , , ..- U 'J 1'-f ' H- '1Q1g1'gm.ef ffD s Archbishop S, A.'Stritch fig' ff f.!.',fiL'Klili XVHO DEDICATED ST.

Florence Bigham, valedictorian, and Vfilliam XVolph. salutatorian, will live on for endless time as the first seniors to merit this award in the new St. Vwlendelin high school. Scholastic standing, participation in all s:hool activities. all in all a real student were weighty factors considered by Father O'Connor in naming Florence and Wil- liam. Both students have displayed through- out their high school career, a true and loyal interest in the school whose colors they so proudly and honorably waved, Leisure hours were sacrificed to the good of the school publication. If any in- convenience or personal dislike ever crept in, it was never discernible to those with whom they profitably spent their free time, particularly during their senior year.

MISSION SOCIETY 'Xlyin llnrns Rose l XVeber l.eo lieu .loseph Dell Helpf help usi is the cry of the little boys and girls of the far mission lands. A cry for help. sent un by the missions. and answered by the students attend- ing school. with great enthusiasm. Boxes have been filled with clothes. and fruit, packed by the students. and sent into the foreign lands to help make poor suffering miles happy. The Mission Society has always been an active club in the school of St. NNendelin's. The students work, and sacrifice all year around for the sake of others. The benefit derived from the Mission Society. is two-fold. Aside from promoting the spread of Catholicity in the souls of pagans in far off lands, it fosters a noble desire in student hearts to do fruitful works of charity and mercy. In the year of WSI, the freshmen have attained the distinction of being the most faithful to their mission duties. No matter how busy they might have been with other activities. never for one instant did their tenacity of purpose lag. Since the beginning of our high school, the Mission Society has stood out predominently. Missionary work is not a new thing, it dates back to the very beginning of time: and it will last as long as there remains any pagans on this earth to convert and help. Realizing that the spirit of giving should play a predominant part in school life. the Mission Qrganization is established in every school throughout the diocese, Without the spirit of charity. the love of our neighbor. one can not expect to find happiness for it is a rule of life that happiness is in giving others cause to be so, One not only benefits the receiver but himself as well. When the letters of gratitude carrying the pathos of the far off mission lands come into the office. the students know that they have been thanked a hundred fold for their little efforts. All the students belong to the Propagation of Faith. an international orff ganization. fhfrlty-Six s a t mosu i ffl V: iwwaiftvn iiiiiitiiffiiiiiil FIV A A an T4 fad BONHI CLUB Endeavoring to surpass the previous year in their activities. the members of the Bonhi club started the scholastic year full of vim and vigor. The first year after its organizaton was a very successful and interesting one. At the end of the school term they were able to purchase a chalice for the chapel of the new high school and two pastel pictures which are now hanging in the study hall. One is of Father Weber and the other of Father O'Connor. At one of the first meetings of the year, officers were elected. Mary McKee had been named president in the last meeting of the Borihi club of the term 1929-1930. Alvin Burns was chosen for vice-president: Dorothy Jacoby, secre- tary, and Chester Lynn, treasurer. Black and Gold day was celebrated as it had been done in the previous year on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. More pep and more enthusiasm were displayed on this day than before any other game, for on the morrow was the tilt with Calvert. Although the Bonhi club sponsored this activity, the whole school participated. A card party was held on Friday, February fi. With the aid of all the Bonhites, the executive ability of the club was displayed. It was an amazing success. As a souvenir of the ceremony a book was edited and published which was sold at the new high school on the day the building was dedicated. All the work, writing, business, and selling was done by the Bonhi members. A Hail Mary campaign for the new high school was authorized and the totals of the prayers of the students of the various classes mounted to an almost incredible number.

Several years ago. five members of the senior class were admitted to a lately organized, but rapidly growing journalistic society. namely the Quill and Scroll. These five seniors of '20 were the first members of the St. Wendelin High Chapter of that. now internationally known organization. Four members of the class of '30 merited the honor of belonging to the society, Five of the junior class of that year were also admitted. ln 1031 more students qualified for membership. bringing the total enrollment in the local chapter. since its organization, to twenty. These groups of students were admitted to the society in the following order: 14130--Cyril Kuhn. Florence Beck. Elizabeth Jacoby, Florence Huber and Dorothy Ferwalt: 1930 Seniors- Harry Kane, Louise Scharf. Carolyn Vogel and Florence Altwies: 1930 Juniors-!lVlary McKee, Florence Bigham, Edna Hettel. Eugene Emerine and William Wolph: lU.3l Seniors---Dorothy Jacoby. and Helen Flechtner: 1931 Juniors-Paul Arnoldi. Alvin Burns, Evelyn Bigham and Margaret l.onsway, Because ofthe stringency of its admission regulations. it is essential that the nominee for the honor of wearing the insignia of the society must be in the upper third ofthe class, and active boosters of the school and its activities. Each month a contest was sent to various schools belonging to the society. ln all these contests the students have taken an active part and have so far won several mentions, William Wolph won honorable mention in an editorial writing contest. sectional honors in a news-judging contest and national honf ors in a vocabulary contest, Florence Bigham also merited honorable mention in editorial writing contest. il Q 1-ta rv e ' ::1 i 4. -1::,,ii-M' l Th1'rtyfNine T .

One of high school lifes greatest pleasures is belonging to a club. especially if one has been privileged to be a charter member. Vklith this thought in mind and desiring to do something of benefit for the new high school, we, the girls of '31, with the wise counsel of Sister M, Eventia. at the close of our junior year decided to organize one. Vile chose as its name The DofDo Club. lts aim is really contained in it because it means Do. do work for the new high schoolfi On June IW. WSU we held our first meeting. After the election of officers. we found that we had chosen very able officers, those. whom we knew would work for the interests of the club. Florence Bigbam was chosen as the club's leader. while .losephine Bauer was our vice-president. and secretaryftreasurer, Dorothy Jacoby. Of course. everybody thought that our club would exist only until we had it fairly planned and then. like many clubs. begun and ended during high school life. would be dropped XVorking against this spirit we held bi-monthly meetings at the homes of the members. XVe had bake sales and we planned many ways of increasing the clubs treasury. XVhen we returned to school in September we resolved to change our names After much debating Delta Omega Sorority was finally selected. lt really holds the same significance lor Delta is the Greek symbol for d and Omega for o. .Nt one of the first meetings after the change had been made a motto was chosen. Soar to the Sky. and our emblem became a little ntonoplane. XVe picked as our incentives the words. l.oyaltv. llonor. and Ambition. Silver and black became our colors. I orltf ,I .

With the cooperation of the pupils of the grade school and the students of the high school, a large amount of tickets was sold and the proceeds helped to swell our treasury. We have had candy and cup cake sales with results that have indeed been gratifying. Had we not had the cooperation of the student body we should not have had such success. Leaving the first year behind us with a record that any club might be proud of, we are planning to have this sorority remain as a permanent organ- ization for senior girls in St. Wendelin high school. To form another chapter of the organization, the senior sorority bid the junior girls without exception to a 5:30 tea. May 13 in the high school cafe- teria. Black and silver, the colors of the sorority, and blue and gold, the junior class colors, predominated in the colorful decoration. The dainty table also carried the color scheme, and the room was fragrant with lilacs and lilies of the valley, which centered the table. After the luncheon, the toastmistress, Edna Hettel '31, introduced in her own capable manner, Josephine Bauer '31, vice-president, who read the pledge. The second speaker was Dorothy Jacoby, '31, secretary-treasurer, who gave a word of welcome to the guests. Laureen Kane '32, responded for the juniors. The president. Florence Bigham '31, explained the purpose, the laws and activf ities of the organization. Concluding the program, Geraldine Pugh '31, and Florence Degens '31, sang two comic numbers. The junior girls were delighted with the informal gathering and have taken steps to organize the second chapter of the Delta Otmega Sorority. The charter members have done their best during the past scholastic year and they know this sorority will do all in their power to perpetuate this club. More power to you, juniors. I. N. F. CLUB Club spirit has worked its way into the student hearts and the I. N. F. club which was organized in October has established itself firmly in the high school. Its eligibility is limited to sophomore girls and right from the start they have kept up the good work of piling up a sum of money. At their first meeting they elected Dorothy Altwies as president of the organization and Martha Burns, treasurer. They voted to meet every two weeks. The I. N. F. being a mission club, the girls sent a large box of clothing to the missions for Christmas. Now and then throughout the year, bake sales and candy sales were held and little by little their treasury grew. When a new desk was needed for their teacher, the girls were the first ones to stake the funds for it. Nor are they ignorant of the true conditions of the missions.

The Dedication Book. edited by the Bonhi Club, was the students' first attempt at special publication. Since 1923. the students have edited a school paper. first appearing in September of that year as The Torch. and since changed to the widely read WENDELETTE. The seniors have completed the third volume of the FROSLIN. Great credit therefore is due the Bonhi Club for their successful edition of this well organized history book. Beginning in 1910, it clearly and concisely relates the history of St. Wen- delin high school to the date of dedication, May 19. 1931. Included within the pages of the publication. is the record of each class since the high school was founded. It vividly recalls the days when classes were held in the corridors of the elementary school. It is alive, animated with ac- tivities of the past: it is replete with numberless episodes of school life. the awards. the honors that each class brought to the school. It is the record of dreams and visions of student hearts and faculty when the new high school now completed. was yet to be fulfilled. lt brings to a trium hant conclusion the ambition of the Rev. R. V. O'Connor, principal, the Rjev. A. A. Weber and the Archbishop Stritch. The book offered a delight to the students in gathering the material from the alumni, who generously aided in research for data. Old memory books were gotten out. fading memories were recalled. and yellow newspapers scanned to obtain the historical facts in the book. The Dedication Book was fittingly dedicated to the people of Fostoria who sometime before the ground was broken. pledged 360.000 toward the new high school. It narrates the interesting story of the first high school held in the halls of the elementary building. It carried a facsimile of the first diploma presented to Raymond Carroll. the only graduate in 1910. All those who have graduated from St. Wendelin high school and their teachers have their names recorded somewhere in the book. l7or!yfFour . ',.-it gl A-T' Y Fwy L., i f W .r' r,. 5 J S .

Edna Hettel The seniors of l93l have presented the third volume of the FROSLIN for the public inspection and criticism. The arrangement of the mast head is quite different this year than in the preceding annuals. However, the various departments have worked hard and long to present to the subscribers. an annual worthy of a new high school. Realizing the depth of gratitude they owe to the builders of their Alma Mater so soon to be. the seniors have fittingly dedicated the year book to their par- ents. The purpose of the annual is nothing less than a memory book. It has taken the place of the old school album, autograph book, high school memory book and offers all in one. If it recalls fond memories in after years of student life, teachers, activities, friends. games, then it fulfills its purpose and the seniors are satisfied. The advertising campaign opened in early January, long before the staff was named. All the seniors solicited and not one failed to turn in an ad. The subscription campaign opened March lo, starting in a slow. drawn out manner. However. the students' tallied totals on the last day of the contest brought the subscriptions to the goal, over, and ended with a rousing success, far surpassing all previous records. Pledge Day was a feature of the contest at which time every student handed in one subscription. The FROSLIN links the old high school with the new. The careful reader will probably note the different atmosphere. The campaigns for the FROSLIN were even broken up by opening the advertising campaign in the old building and the subscription in the new. The class of N29 edited the first annual. The name FROSLIN was chosen by the faculty from many others submitted in a contest. FROM is taken from Father R. O'Connor. SLlN from Saint and the final part of Wendelin. An- other significance is First rebuild our school let in nesciencef' And a final in- terpretation Fostoria recalls Ohio's special line industiresf' tint. The 1930 FROSLIN showing a great improvement carried the theme of the new high school and was the last book from the old building. The seniors of this year hope this. the first book from the new school. will long retain a mark of excellency for the students to come and that it will be a medium of achievement next year and those to follow.

There is no greater hanor for any boy or girl of the Black and Gold than to be a publication staff member. Students edit the VJENDELETTIL entireli after vocational hours of curricular study. Next year the paper will be pu: in ti the hands of the iournalism class. ln the N, S. P. A. contest. the VJENDELETTE received first place and third in the C, S. P. A. Editorial, business. and circulation staff members have given unstinted cooperation and have been generous with time and energy: they will continue to work assiduously, that the paper might next year win and in the years to come maintain the coveted ALL-AMERICAN standard. This is the criterion. students have set for their efforts. Albeit financial conditions have everywhere made a rocky road for school newspapers to travel over, a record of subscriptions higher than ever before was attained this year. From a circulation of US. four years ago. the number has grown to 500, The point system initiated a year ago was used for the tallying of work on the paper and also was utilized as the determination for school monogram recipients. Letters are singular in appearance. distinguished from the athletic mono- grams by their literary design. Students awarded the honor of wearing the WENDE'LETTE are: Edna Hettel. William Wolph. Florence Bigham. Helen Flechtner, Dorothy Jacoby. Catherine Schnitzler, Florence Degens. Mar- garet Firth. Geraldine Pugh. Josephine Bauer. Mary McKee. Margaret Lonsway. virginia Bangert. Esther Kieffer. Alvin Burns. Charles Jinks. Dorothy Altwies. Chester Lynn. All, who by their own efforts won a position on the staff during their high school career, now sincerely realize that they are to leave behind a work which for years they had accepted as a matter of fact. was one of the greatest pleasures of school life. That when others sit where we sat and others work where we worked. memories of happy hours in the VJENDELETTE office will remain with us. Without the supporting medium. namely the advertisements of the mer- chants. it would be impossible to edit a school newspaper. Great credit is due Catherine Schnitzler '31, and her assistants who have successfully managed the advertising department this year. THE VVENDELETTE not only paid for itself but with its additional funds. the principal was able to purchase a typewriter and send nine delegate-4 to Cleveland for the N. S, P. A. Convention, December 4. S. fi. Great credit and gratitude go to the staff adviser who at all times has been the patient adviser and critic. who has planned and worked harmoniously with the editor. who has put our paper on a budget and paying proposition, who within three years, brought the circulation of the VVENDELETTE from 90 readers to the 650 mark. who placed the VVENDELETTE where it is today. admired and not a little envied by other iournalistic advisers.

A. CONVENTION For the seven St. Wendelin representatives to the N. S. P. A. convention, held in Cleveland, December 4, 5, fm. there was perhaps no more exciting, thrill- ing event in high school life from which with all its enioyments, the students secured such a font of worthwhile education, Headquarters for the national convention were made at the Hollenden Ho- tel. Upon arrival the St. Wendelin high school students, Chester Lynn '32, Mary McKee '31, Helen Flechtner '31, Florence Bigham '31. Alvin Burns '33, Dorothy Jacoby '31, Edna l-lettel '31 and the Wendelette staff adviser with her compan- ion, like the other 1400 delegates were given a souvenir program and badges, which served as a ticket to the conventions functions and identified the students as delegates and showed that they belonged at round tables and other meetings. The purpose of the convention was a wholly iournalistic one. to allow the schools from all sections of the United States, to communicate their ideas and to give them vent to advance any troubling problem in connection with the modern art, journalism. General convocations were held in the beautiful ballroom of the Hollenden and the round table discussions were all in the hotel. According to the phase of newspaper and year book work the students were interested in. they chose their round tables. Speakers were men and women who have devoted themselves to the study of journalism. They were such famous people as Paul Bellamy, editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Clyde R. Miller, Teachers' College, Columbia Univer- sity, Prof. H. F. Harrington, Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern Uni- versity, Robert J. Bender. vice-president, United Press. Carlton K. Watson, editor of the Buffalo Times: Dr. Clarence Stratton, director of English, Cleveland public schools: Charles H. Lake, assistant super- intendent of Cleveland public schools: Dusty Miller, editor of the Wilming- ton t0hioQ News-Journal. The headliner of the convention though. was Carl Sandburg, that truly American poet. After he had spoken at John Hay high school, opening the first convocation, two of the St. Wendelin students made quite an escapade in get- ting his autograph, as is often the case when a celebrity is to be dealt with. Dr. George Gallup, National secretary-treasurer of the Quill and Scroll. met with the Quill and Scroll members and advisers during the convention in the Hollenden Assembly room. As each student identified himself it was found that many schools were represented in this national organization. Tours were conducted through Halle Bros. store: the Cleveland Plain Dealer: the Cleveland Public Library: the Radio station, WTAM. The St. Wendelin students also visiting the dominating Terminal Tower. the Public Auditorium, Notre Dame College, where they spent one night, the Nurses' home of Charity Hospital. and the Art Museum where they saw Virgil's an- niversary exhibition. The big social event of the convention was held in the ball room of the Hollenden. At the close of the banquet, silver loving cups were presented to the group that traveled the gratest distance to the convention and to the largest group from a public school and a private school. Promptly at 9:00 the dance began. Favors, programs and special numbers enlivened the affair. fflftu W , W FPXOSLI ' '::m.f-. . -vw .31-L , ,,,-- fn-',f1'f' 4 ' ' f'Q,aQJ!LfF.,L-JL' V1.S.PA.COV1VEFITIOVI 6,35 A CLEVELAND OH IO fm'5 ?ThW fx-I fm A ' 'Q DEC 4 5 Q X 5 ' x 1 x f 'TT' H' W SIIAOLIUER of GOHVEHTION! 6nnQoET X: I Hf::10Al?Jg'TG SPoKx aragun ,. mmwn nec.-4 -- -Aurocrmsmg- ---- 'T T? 5 T3 CARL sumaoaa RF- A' Ama: Pctl' ,.

V. O'Connor Producing a really blood curdling mystery play, the senior class of 1931. finds it takes a heap o' acting to portray the furtive characters. and send their audience home in a mood that makes them peep behind every tree, jump at every shadow. and cautiously gaze under the bed before retiring. The House of the Flashing Light involves a missing will, many missing people. a missing ruby from Naga. the Snake Goddess, a sly Chinaman, a sus- picious. sleepy-eyed Mexican, a shrewd housekeeper, an effervescent young girl. an ambitious young reporter and an aspiring lawyer, as well as several other heirs to the fortune. Frequent appearances and disappearances of characters cast over all, that veil of uncertanity that is bound to produce a startlingly well organized mystery play. A shot in the darkness from the gun of the housekeeper, Lavina, very effectively portrayed by Dorothy Jacoby. opens up the constant action of the plot. Clark Richards, played by Robert Woessner, appears on the scene in search of Doyle Kevlin. role enacted by William Wololi, the lawyer in charge of Aunt Lucy's will, in anticipation of which Stella Faber. Mary McKee: Dot Faber. Josephine Bauer: Eva Harper. Helen Flechtner: Phyllis, the colored maid, Flor- ence Degens: and Louise Bashford. Edna Hettel, assembled in the House of the Flashing Light on the rock-bound coast of California. Mr. Li, impersonated by Eugene Emerine. a servant of Naga. constantly and unexpectedly turning up. only tends to heighten the tense situations. He is ably supported by Abe George. who plays the part of Pedro. a Mexican laborer. Jesse Corcoran, enacted by Oswald LaFountain, husband of the late Aunt Lucy. is murdered. helping along the confusing tangle. The series of exciting events are finally unravelled and brought to a close with the happy love affair of Dot and Clark. Plays in the past are evidence of what one might expect of St. Wendelin class plays, under the direction of Father O'Connor. Those of other years have proved his efficiency by the superb acting displayed by the characters. This year again. Father O'Connor chose the play as the very best to be adapted to the material and needs of the senior class. The lucky eleven chosen to enact the roles were kept busy rehearsing the lines, as the interval to the approaching date of the play was fast becoming very short. No longer were the amateur actors called by their real names. Now it was: Dot, Stella, Pedro, Jesse. Eva, etc. No longer did the students gather in corners to talk during intermissions. Instead one might hear excited exclamations, frightened shrieks, and whimiscal cracks, rehearsed over and over. The atmosphere was filled with that myster- ious vapor. and all had the very feeling of The House of the Flashing Light. Finally when the first night came. all were prepared to go out there and act and that is just what they did, succeeding in putting over the most clever and interesting of classplays ever produced in the high school. The House of the Flashing Light is not soon to be forgotten by its audience who still shiver at the thought of it. .. . . N Fiflq-Eiqhl I FRU S 1.111 Q , .

Toledo. on May 3 and for the boys, at St. Rose, Lima, on April 19. St. Wendelin had school elimination for delegates in the new auditorium before large audiences. On the girls' evening, those speaking were: Mary McKee '31, Florence Bigham '31, Edna Hettel '31, Margaret Lonsway '32, Laureen Kane '32, Evelyn Bigham '32, Dorothy Altwies '33, Anna Gase '33, Martha Burns '33, Mary Barrett '3-1, Ardella Foos '34, and Delorus Hasser '34. Mary McKee was selected as the best speaker, Second place went to Edna Hettel and Laureen Kane and Florence Bigham tied for third honors. 4 At the boys' elimination, speakers were: Abe George '31, William Wolph '31, Eugene Emerine '31, Edward Rossie '32, William Baeder '32, Alvin Burns '32, Paul Hettel '3-1. Joseph Dell '3-1, and Brian Kane '3-1. Although all were a credit to the school. the victor was Brian Kane. Judges for the occasion were, for the boys, Dr. A. A. Wilhelm, Dr. T. Geoghegan and Gerald Sheibly: for the girls they were, Miss Helen Snyder. Miss Helen Neiman and Mrs. McQuade. Points of ,judgment were composition, stage presence and conviction. Brian Kane won fourth honorable mention at Lima. From the general topic Extra Curricular Activities, he developed the phase. The Fruits of Extra- Curricular Activities. The cup was awarded to Central in Toledo. Mary Mc- Kee spoke on Leaders From the Land of Make Believe. at Notre Dame academy. Toledo. Thirteen schools were represented. Here the cup was won by Calvert. Mary McKee At both contests the auditoriums were crowded with interested students, laity, and religious, As the places for the contests were well chosen. speakers were easily heard. The great improvement in the dele- gates of this year was noticeable. More- over the subject given out for discussion was an up to the minute one, Almost every possible angle of the question was brought to the fore, making the contest educational as well as enjoyable. Speakers were alloted but six minutes in which to delineate their point of view. Brian Kane 1...,....i.. -..A ,. . I W-, vw. ,,, , Fiilu-Nine N mfoJs1.1rxi Y WIN 1.

Planned on doubts. fears that the new high school would never be, it has risen up, a beautiful memorial to its builders. The blue prints completed it was thought that at last, after so many years, a new Catholic high school was not far distant. Then the hand of the Archbishop Samuel A. Stritch, at that time Bishop of Toledo, reached out in jurisdiction saying. he could not let the parish take over so large a debt as would occur with the building of a new high school and let it lag on for years. He suggested that the men of the parish either change their plans or raise funds amounting to 350.000 Literature was distributed at all the masses by the Bonhi club and a Cam- paign issue of the WENDELETTE carrying the complete detail of the drive and needs of the parish appeared with the opening of the campaign June l, 1930. Very quietly, only known to a few, they broke ground on the site of the new school purchased years ago for that same purpose. From the first until the last day, erection was fast and steady, scarcely held up one day on account of weather conditions. After school opened, week in and week out the new school was the topic of conversation, the main article in the WENDELETTE. Father O'Connor. with eager students conducted many tours through the new school during the months that followed. On September 28, shortly after four o'clock the Archbishop Samuel A. Stritch laid the corner stone, bearing the inscription, 'iTeach Me Goodness. Discipline and Learning in the northeastern corner of the building. To a crowd of visiting clergy, religious. students and friends, the Arch- bishop in lauding the progressive spirit of local Catholics said: I am proud of the people of this parish who have added this great institution to the splendid work of building an excellent grade school, a fine home for the Sisters, and another fine home for the clergy, as well as improving the church. Monsignor F. S. Macelwane, diocesan superintendent of parochial schools. also complimented the parish on its progress. We take pleasure, he said, in coming here this afternoon to witness the efforts of this community for higher education. ---i------- X .i:..' .1110 Q -----ln v- Y Y - Sixtu-One 1 Y -S ,E 5 .T Y I ' X' x 4 f im flute? still if . lt has cost a great sacrifice to the people of the St. Wendelin parish and this city at large. but we are willing to do it for the better moral lives that will go out from these walls. young men and young women. imbibed with the principles of religious instructions ready to struggle through life's battles like good citizens. carrying with them an influence for good. not only in the com- munity. but in parts of the United States where these young graduates establish their homes or business.

New it was just a matter of days and on February ll. the march began. Students carrying books higher than their heads. tables. chairs. autos laden down. wagons. machines: everything went toward County l.ine street. Souvenirs were hurriedly gathered and so the students. happy. but with a tinge of sadness. left the old ramshackled quarters that had housed them so long. Adventures followed. new advantages and unknown wonders were revealed each day. Again the Archbishop Samuel A. Stritch of Milwaukee returned to Fostoria May IU. and dedicated the building which at the corner-stone laying had marked his last official act in the diocese of Toledo. At six p. m. the Archbishop. lead by a procession of priests and monsignori. started through the halls. blessing the floors. rooms and halls. Chanting the rites of dedication. he went outside where he blessed the exterior of the building. After the simple but impressive ceremony. the clergymen. sisters. city offic ials. guests and students went to the auditorium where Father O'Connor after thanking the parish once more for their whole-hearted cooperation. introduced the pastor. the Rev. A. A. Weber. who added a few remarks of thanks. Father Weber was followed by Msgr. Francis J. Macelwane who said in urging the students to liye up to the ideals of the school. The eyes of the city are upon you, young men and women. Should you go into the world and not profit by the wonderful ideals bred within the building. yours will be a disf grace. not upon you. but upon the school which we are dedicating here today. Should you be staunch defenders of the faith which has carried righteousness down through the history of time. yours will be honor and your fellow citizens will be -justly proud of you and this institution which has harbored you in your quest for religious education. His praise for the kind Sisters of Notre Dame who have labored in local fields since 1887 was a remarkable one. .Sz.x'1il-Treo I an FT ,MQ FRU S LI N 3 ,ff -4- L wwf V ' ' A'C'-'DQ , in-U' m1, Qf mQQ1 v Q1QiiQ5 U , - Q H1 -ifzi we Q, f W I 'Cu 1 fgm ll -JL!

In the minds of all the students the memory lingers on of the sweetness of a hard Won victory, and the consolation of having lost, only after each player had done his best.

AT HOME Q .. y i 4 Paradoxical in its strangeness. the past basketball season leaves behind a record that is to be forgotten only by atonement. Playing an eccentric. fluctuat- ing game, with some spots of real basketball. but more often seemingly over- come by inertia. a green team managed to survive a bombardment of real bas- ketball from the best teams. INOSI of the neighboring parochial schools have ever turned out. It was most unfortunate that at the time when most of our opponents were returning to the hardwood court with a squad of veterans. that we entered the fray with only one letter man. A green. unexperienced team may rise to great heights sometimes. but apparently it was not in the cards that St. Vdenilelin High should have a winning court aggregation. Smothered by smart, fast teams under a barrier of speedy passing and basket shooting. the local Sainte were unable to really get going at any time. Several times they came back in a whirlwind attack to almost match the victory. but sometimes they lost to opponents of obviously inferior caliber. However, although the going was tough and it was not a pleasure to be a mem- ber of a team that lost game after game. not one member of the squad dropped out. This speaks well for the spirit of the team and school and augers well for future seasons, As only two members of last year's squad will be lost by grad- uation, we may look forward to a highly successful season next year. Because of the inexperience of the candidates and also because there were only two nights of practice, during the first three weeks of the season. the team started out under an extremely heavy handicap. Towards the middle of the season the new gym was made ready for occupancy and the improvement made by the team was gradual but noticeable. Sixty-Seven l l I I 4 y yy g iiitostm . W -ml-ft 3 LY JACK CHEVIGNY AT ST. WENDELIN HIGH One of the most important funcl tions of the past year in St. Wendelin's parish was the first Northwestern Ohio Parochial banquet. Organized over a year ago for the purpose of increasing interest in games played between schools of the diocese, the conference has proved its worth in a very short span of time. Paramount among the many prime features of this gala occasion was the brilliant. witty, fiery speaker, Nlr. .lack Chevigny. honored guest and principal speaker at the banquet. Mr, Chevigny's fine talk left an indelible impres'ion up- on all his listeners. He spoke on the spirit that is prevalent among the ath- letes of Notre Dame. ln vivid phrases he described how the wonderful influence of Notre Dame's founders and leaders have left their impress upon the student body of that great institution. Because he was a part of that insti- tution. and because he was an intimate associate of the inimitable Rock, no one was beiter qualified than he to tell how the great mentor dealt with his men in the critical moments. So amidst thunderous applause. this protege of Rock finished his dynamic speech. the like of which has never been heard in this community. llreceding Mr. Cihevigny on the program was the Rev. ll, V, Offonnor, toastlnaster. who introduced liathei' Vvleber, pastor of the parish, who wel- comed all the visitors to the school and Mayor Vklhitta, who extended to the as- semblage his welcome to Fostoria. Dr Gallagher, principal of Calvert high school. and first president of the confer- ence. awarded the trophy to the league's first champions. St. Johns of Delphos, Richard Dore, star of the Calvert team, received a medal for having' attained the highest individual total of points in the conference, Representatives of every team in the league were present together with a goodly number of visitors. both from town and out.
