Raymond G. Kirsch Pastor ,, Jan. FIIREWURD Two worthy purposes are served by the publica- tion of the school yearbook. There should be a means of gathering together and recording the proceedings of each year in the history of the school. It is also desirable that students and their friends be able to preserve the memory of activities and accomplishments of a particular school year. A school is a living institution. While similar events occur in succeeding years, each year remains distinctive. Each year marks the progress of individ- ual students towards the accomplishments for which all hope. It is the hope of every school worthy of the name, that each class of graduates will leave its mark of achievement, and will stimulate the classes which follow to even better things. The school annual should and does preserve this record of growth so that others may build upon it. Page Seven Page Eiqhx Rev. Michael J. Walz Principal DEDICATIIIN Every day famous authors are dedicating another of their literary Works to someone who has meant much in their lives, Whose influence for gocd in them is far-reaching, whom they hold in great respectand admiration. Now, although we do not pretend to be famous, nor would We presumptuously class ourselves among the reputed authors, We, the class of 1944, do eagerly welcome this opportunity of ex- pressing our gratitude to our esteemed Principal, the Reverend Michael I. Walz, by dedicating this, the Sixteenth Volume of the l roslin to him. Father Walz was appointed Principal of St. Wendelin High School by our Reverend Pastor, Father R. G. Kirsch, soon after his coming here as Assistant Pastor in August, 1943. Since the opening of school, Father Walz has successfully developed an honor system by means of which We students are imbued with the desire of doing the proper thing because we know it to be the correct procedure of conduct, rather than because of any impend- ing penalty. We feel that We are thus being trained to overcome the difficulties and to make the more important decisions of the future. It is our hope that many oncoming classes will have the enviable opportunity ol studying under Father Walz's guidance and of thus irnbibing something of his Wholesome spirit, of learn- ing to follow his elevating example. and of benefiting by the inspiration of his invigorating, priestly character.

Lannen was born. Already in the first grade of school, he was nicknamed Spike because of his diminutive size. At the age of seven he fell from a roof and fractured his elbow, and, trying the same stunt four years later, broke his wrist. In Spike's second year of high school, he served as class Treasurer, and in his last year, as class President. He belonged to the Mission Society and the Blessed Virgin Sodality all four years, to the Glee Club during his senior year, and to the Bonhi Club in his sophomore year. During the past three years he earned letters in football: last year he was chosen Captain. He also received a letter for basketball during his senior year. As a junior, Iames was the Chronicle leader for his class. During that year he was an outstanding worker for the Iunior-Senior promi At the high school dances Spike occasionally responded with vocal selections. In the class play he was Carl Hemming, who operated a candy factory. Iames passed the V-5 examination in March and is to be called into :he Service early in Iune. ' Not so many years ago a youngster at St. Wendelin grade school won a scooter in an essay contest for giving the best reasons why a particular brand of gasoline was so much superior to all others. That boy was Donald E. Huth. He was born on May 13, 1926. He.relates a rather unique occurrence of his early childhood. A group of boys were rolling old tires around, while he had between his teeth a sharp pointed stick. One of the tires struck the stick and jammed it down his throat . . . . result, a very sore throat. During all four years of high school, Don was a member of the Mission Society and of the Sodality, and he sang with the Glee Club for three years. As a senior he was class Vice-President. He was on the debating team in his sophomore year. He played basketball during his last three years and was chosen Captain of the team this year. He hobbled around on crutches for six weeks because of a fractured foot suffered during the last regular game of the season. He was Uncle Tim in the senior class play. Page Sixteen On the cold morning of December 16, 1926, William Heilman first saw the light of day. He boasts of the same birthplace as that of our Principal, Father Malz-Defiance, Ohio. After trying out several towns, the Heilman family finally settled in Fos- toria, where Bill began his career in St. Wendelin grade school. He made his fifth and half of his sixth grade at Bittman, Ohio. then after a few months at Nappanee, Indiana, he returned to Fostoria Where he has since lived. During his high school he was a member of the Mission Society and the Blessed Virgin Mary's Sodality. As freshman and again as junior he stood up in the Spelling Contest finals. Twice he was in on the intramural basketball competition. He was a member of the Glee Club during the past years, and was elected Treasurer of his class in his senior year of school. He made a brief appearance in the class play. Ioanne Kinn claims election day, November 3, 1925, for her birthday. She is the only one of her family born in Fostoria. Even as a small child her troubles began. When only three, she fell into a rosebush and was badly scratched. From the age of six even to the present time, she has never been able to convince herself that she really likes school. She remembers, however, how thrilled she was When, in the seventh grade she impersonated the Im- maculate Conception in a namesday playlet for her Pastor, Father Weber. She portrayed the caustic Lydia Goucher in the class play All Gummed Up. Ioanne belonged to the Mission Society and the Sodality during her four years of high school, and to the Glee Club, during the last three years. As a sophomore, junior, and senior, she held the office of Class Secretary. She was one of the leaders in the Catholic Chronicle Campaign in both her junior and senior years, and in the 1944 Froslin advertising drive, was second highest scorer and Business Manager. She was a member of the Bonhi Club 1, 3, and 4. William Heilman, Treasurer Ioanne Kinn, Secretary Page Seventeen R-'isles BENCH Iack McMeen. Valedictorian Anna Bodart The population of the second largest city in the world was increased on December 4, 1925, when tiny Roslee Bei-ton appeared on the scene. She was born on the third floor of a New York hospital at the same time a fire was raging on the fourth floor. During her grade school days in a white middie blouse and a navy blue skirt, many exciting things occurred, such as breaking an arm, a collarbone, a nose, and a front tooth .... and acquiring a nickname Bunny. Roslee studied for two and a half years at Iamaica High in New York City before coming to Fostoria. From her school there she could see the magnificent buildings which had housed the World's Fair. Here at St. Wendelin Roslee is president of the Art Club and is prominent in all school activities. The first squeal heard from Iack McMeen was on March 4, l926, at Mercy Hospital, Tiffin, yOhio. One day after this baby had grown to be a lad of eight years, he was struck by a truck, but neither he nor the truck was seriously injured. It also happened that same year that he fell onto a steel stake which struck him directly between the eyes. This left its tell-tale scar. It was not until he was in the fifth grade that he discovered that he was blind in one eye. The doctors, however, said that he was probably so from birth. When a freshman, lack was elected Vice-President, and when a junior, President of his class. In the latter year he carried the leading part in the comedy Who Wouldn't Be Crazy? As a senior he played Roger Hemming in All Gummed Up. lack was a regular member of the Glee Club, the Mission Society, and the Sodality during all four years. He was Sports Editor of the Wendelette in his second and third years. He played intramural basketball as a sophomore and as a senior. As a junior he attended Boy's State: achieved the highest scholastic rating years two and three: was American Legion essay prize winner in his junior year. During the past year, lack sat in the press box covering all the Mohawk athletic bouts for the Review-Times. Sunday, February 28, 1926, in the bright sunshine of 10:00 A. M., Anna joined the Bodart family. Educationally she got off to a fine start by keeping a perfect attendance record during her first year in school. And then the follow- ing year brought about all the child ailments one might enumerate. She has been a member of the Camp Fire Girls since her fifth grade. Anna sang in the Glee Club during her freshman and senior years of high school and was a member of the Sodality and of the Mission Society during all four years. She is interested in the Cell Movement and also played an important part in the home economics playlet Camp Controversy. Anna has four younger brothers who hope to receive a St. Wendelin diploma. Page EQq'tteen May 30, 1926, was more than Decoration Day in the Emerine home. It was also the day Ioanne was born. One of her first accomplishments in life was the conquest of a serious illness which troubled her for several weeks during infancy. And how well she recalls the day her finger was crushed in the car door! This little girl started first grade at the public school on McDougal street. It was during that year that her baby sister died. When Ioanne was nine years old her entire family became members of the Catholic church, and she made her First Holy Communion with the second graders two days after her Baptism. In St. Wendelin high school, loanne belonged to the Mission Society, the Sodality, and during the last three years to the Glee Club. As a sophomore she was chapel sacristan. On December 22, 1926, at Mercy Hospital, Tiffin, Ohio, there was deposited a tiny girl whom her happy parents named Regina Waltenneyer. Regina's early childhood was rather uneventful. An event during her sixth year at school was the winning of a bicycle at the Civic Theater. During her freshman year, she had a narrow escape frorn drowning. Besides being a member of the Mission Society and the Sodality, Regina was Treasurer of her freshman class, and Vice-President during both her sophomore and junior years of high school. She was also cheerleader during the past two years. Regina was given honorable mention for scholastic achievements at the close of her sophomore year. She was consistently a member of the Bonhi Club and, as junior, was the class leader of that association. She took part in the Snelling Contest finals each year. Finally, Regina played one of the leading parts in All Gummed Up. Alice Hammer celebrates her birthday on March 12. In the second grade she was the only one to maintain a perfect attendance record. Then, during the next year she was forced to miss three months of school because of illness: but she kept up with her class. Alice is great on contests. As a fourth grader she Won a wrist watch in a Foster Shoe contest. ln the fifth grade she was the leading Catholic Chronicle crusader. She gained similar recognition as a junior in high school. In fact, she has been the supersalesman in every drive sponsored by the school. The last of these, the Fros1in advertising and subscription drives were no exceptions. ln the latter, Alice garnered a total of 440 points against her nearest competitor's 215. During all four years, Alice belonged to the Bonhi Club, .the Mission Society, and the Sodalitv. She was chanel sacristan during her second year, and a member of the Wendelette staff in her junior year. Ioanne Emerine Reqifla WHIISYMSYGY, Salutatorian Alice Hammer Page Nineteen Patricia Howard Richard Bradner Doris Huss On her fifth birthday, September 29, 1931, Patricia Howard, considering herself a little lady, walked off alone to St. Wendelin school. To her great disappointment, however, she was made to understand that she must remain at home and play for another year before beginning her fonnal education. Outstanding among Patricia's school memories are the various playlets in which she took active parts. She will be remembered as a little colored maid in a George Washington celebration. In high school she contributed towards several assembly programs. In the final senior class production, Patricia played the role of Miss Perkam, the bookkeeper. During the past four years, Patricia belonged to the Sodality and the Mis- sion Society, and in her senior year, to the Glee Club. At present she is the president of her group of Camp Fire Girls. Among ther varied interests, swim- ming holds an important place. On October ll, 1926, a little five pound boy sought membership in the Braclner family. They called him Richard. He is the second oldest of -five boys. As a sixth grader, he first had the privilege of serving Mass for his vener- able Pastor, Father Weber. Since that time, Richard has served at the altar regularly. He sancr in the Tenebrae choir when he was in the seventh and eighth grades. In the seventh grade he joined the Boy Scouts which involved camping trips and POISON IVY. Richard stood up in the finals of the Spelling Contest each year of high school. As a sophomore he received first prize in the American Legion essay contest. He was a member of the Sodality, of the Bonhi Club, and the Mission Societv during all four years of high school. As a junior he was elected class Treasurer. In his senior year he broke his nose and dislocated his elbow while playing football. He received football letters the last three years. Richard was one of the sheriffs in the senior class play, All Gummed Up. Doris Loretta Huss was born on December 19, 1926, at New Riegel, Ohio, and was baptized the day after Christmas. The Huss family moved to Fostoria when Doris was ten months old. Whenever the report cards are issued Doris is found among the leaders of her class. In fact she was awarded a gold medal for scholarship. She be- loncred to the Sodality and Mission Society, stood up for the finals in the Spelling Contests and took part in several playlets. Membership in the Camp Fire Girls has afforded many pleasures for Doris. She also recalls the delightful time which was had on a motor trip to Dearborn, Michigan, a treat sponsored for the class prior to her entrance into high school. Page Twenty On Iuly 25, 1926, the population of Fostoria was increased by the advent of Leola Iacob, who was baptized a few days later by her Pastor, Reverend Father Weber. She received her First Holy Communion with her class on May 5, 1933, and was confirmed by the Most Reverend Karl I. Alter on May 6, 1937. Among her mishaps, she recalls falling from a tree and fracturing her wrist, and a few years later breaking the other arm while doing some coasting stunts on her sled. Taking part in a home, economics skit, and the singing of a number of solos at various performances rank among Leola's stage experiences. She was a member of the Glee Club, the Mission Society, and the Sodality during all four years of high school, was a student librarian during years one and two. and chapel sacristan during her first year. Leola's hobby is sewing. On Friday, May 21, 1926, Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Kramb became the proud parents of another baby boy. A few days afterwards, in St. Michaels Church at Gibsonburg, he was baptized Vv alter Edward, and some time later nicknamed Dutch by his oldest brother. When Walter was about four years old he was bitten by his dog who objected to having the tot trample on his tail. Walter received all his schooling at St. Wende1in's, his family having moved here when he was two years old. In the fifth grade he became an acolyte, and has served at the altar regularly since that time. In high school, Walter held membership in the lVlission Society, the Sodal- ity, and the Glee Club. For two years he belonged to the Bonhi Club. He won honors in the American Legion essay contests in his eighth grade and again in his senior year of high school. He played Intramural basketball in his second third, and fourth years. He was given the part of Pierre, a French chef in the senior class play. Walter completed the night course for aviation cadets spon- sored by the V. F. W. After passing all his mental and physical examinations, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps Reserves. It was pouring rain on April 14, 1926, the day Patricia Ledwedge was born. The first big thinggin Pat's memory was a trip to Arkansas at the age of four. At the beginning of her first year in school, she suffered a severe attack of scarlet fever. When she was eleven she spent some time in the hospital struggling against lock-jaw after being bitten by a chow police dog. School days were always happy days for Pat. She was a member of the Glee Club, Mission Club, and Sodality for the past four years. She was on the sophomore debating team and a member of the Cell Movement. At the close of her sophomore and junior years Pat was given honorary mention for high scholarship records. Patricia was an active member of both the Wendelette and the Froslin staffs. Leola Iacob Walter Kramb Patricia Ledwedge Page Twenty-One ' x if Mary Patterson Neil Roberts Frances Ritzler March 14, 1925, Mary Io was born to Mr. and Mrs. M. I. Patterson. As soon as this little girl started to school she began asking herself the question: Will I ever get through? Finally she came to high school. What fun I will have noW, she thought. But it, too, was hard work. As a sopomore Mary Io was one of the student librarians. Being active in Cell work, she was one of those chosen to attend a Cell meeting in Toledo and to take part in the Cell playlet. Of recent date was her very delightful trip to Cleveland, Ohio, with Father Walz and several of her classmates for Notre Dame College Open House. Mary Io was one of the highest salesmen of the Cycle tickets last year. She also held membership in the Mission Society and the Sodality all four years, and in the Glee Club the past two years. Neil Roberts. better known to his friends as Nick or Corny, was born in Cleveland, Ohio on May 5, 1926. At the age of three he prevailed upon his parents to move to Fostoria. He became an acolyte when he was in the fifth grade. Neil earned a football letter in his junior, and again in his senior year. When a sophomore, as the school's cartoonist, he placed first in the national Quill and Scroll advertising contest. Most of the title pages of the past three years' Froslins are Neil's drawings. During his senior year, Neil sang in the Glee Club, and played parts in a number of student assemblies. He also represented the school as Iunior Kiwanian. He was a member of the Mission Society and of the Blessed Virgin Sodality. In March he passed both the V-5 and the Army Air Corps mental tests. Several months ago, he suffered a severely fractured nose. Immediately after graduation, Neil expects to move back to Cleveland. Frances Ritzler was born in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, August 31, 1926.

Page Twenty-Two In Kenton, Ohio, on April 8, 1926, a tiny girl, Kathryn Scharf. found her way to this earth of ours. Until she was six years old she kept out of mischief quite well, but then her troubles began. First of these was a scalded foot when she fell from a chair, her foot landing in a pail of hot water standing nearby. As a tot not quite five, she found a pair of scissors and gave her little sister a real hair-cut. Being rescued from drowning, having her lip badly cut with a fish-hook, being left behind after a picnic at Meadowbrook, were only a few episodes of Kathryn's early life. Kathryn was a member of the Mission Society and of the Sodality all through high school, and of the Bonhi Club during her senior year. She carried a part in the playlet Camp Controversy when she was a junior, and in All Gummed Up, the senior class play. Early Saturday morning, January 9, l926, Alice Thom was born in Fellows, a small town in sunny California. Soon after, the family moved back to Fostoria. Always ready for fun, Alice one day climbed, via a tree to the roof of a shelter house in a park.

Page Thirty-One SODALITY Iust as the spiritual element pervades the formal curriculum of a Catholic high school, so too, it holds first place among the organizations and activities of the school. For this reason, every student at St. Wendelin is a member of the Sodality of our Lady. The freshmen were received into the Sodality in chapel on the eve of the feast of the Immaculate Conception. The meetings of the Sodality were held in the various home-rooms each Tuesday morning during the conference period. These meetings consisted largely of hymns, prayers, talks, and readings. The chief event of the year was the annual retreat, conducted by the Reverend S. I. Eisel during the three days prior to Thanks- giving. Rev. S. ,I. Eisel Sodalists at St. Wendelin are particularly blessed with a convenient oppor- tunity for frequent and even daily Holy Commun- ion. Each morning after Mass, hot cocoa was served in the cafeteria through the generous co- operation of the following ladies: Mrs. H. I. Blaser. Mrs. F. A. Brickner, Mrs. T. P. Downes, Mrs. H. K. Droll, Mrs. G.V. Emerine, Mrs. F. S. Hammer, Mrs. M. P. Keiffer, Mrs. L. E. Kinn, Mrs. C. F. Ritzler. Mrs. T. VV. Roberts, Mrs. C. C. Scharf, Mrs. B. L. Scharf, Mrs. W. C. Schira. Mrs. P. R.

Because of existing conditions, it has become necessary tem- porarily to suspend its publication. Romance and adventure in a candy factory against an up to-the-minute background of defense, priorities, and rubber rationing, were the keynotes of the three act comedy, All Gummed Up, presented by the senior class on May 31. The following players carried the plot from gum drops to synthetic rubber: Kathryn Scharf, Patricia Howard, lane Ziegman, Re- gina Waltermeyer, James Lannen, lack McMeen, Donald Huth, Ioanne Kinn, Walter Kramb, Richard Bradner, William Heilman. ALTAR BOYS One of the most privileged groups in the school is the St. Iohn Berchman Altar Society. These boys serve daily Mass and weekly Benediction in the high school chapel, as well as Sunday and feast day Masses at the parish church. A number of them are acolytes from their early grade school days until they graduate from high school. ST. AUGUSTINE MISSION UNIT The local mission unit is affiliated with the Catholic Students Mission Crusade through the Diocesan Home and Foreign Mission Office. The aim of the unit is to acquire an intelligent interest in the missionary activities of the Church, and to render spiritual and material aid to the missions. GLEE CLUB At the beginning of the school year each student was given a tryout for the Glee Club by the directress, Mrs. Kinnaman. The songsters met every Wednesday afternoon for practice, and it was they who provided music for the various school programs. Of special interest was their broadcast over radio station WFIN, Findlay, in October. ART CLUB If the Art Club has the smallest membership among the school organiza- tions, it is probably because comparatively few students are gifted with artistic ability or interest. The Art Club was newly founded this year, and its chief contribution to the school was in the form of posters for various contests and events.

What the boys lacked in weight and experience, they made up in spirit and determin- ation. Next year they'11 have all four assets. St. Wendelin was proud of the Black and Gold even in defeat. CAPTAIN James Spike Lannen Page Thirty-Six FOSTORIA HIGH All the color and excitement of an opening game! Capacity crowd! But the Mohawk gridders absorbed the worst defeat of the season at the hands of their arch-rivals, F. H. S. The power of the Redmen, which carried them through to an undefeated season and the Buckeye league championship, proved too much for the Saints. Final score, F. H. S. 48-S. W. 0. FREMONT ST. IOE St. Ioe's Crimson Streaks, sporting one of the most powerful teams in their history, avenged last year's defeat by taking the Mohawks, 15 to O. The second half proved to be the undoing of the locals. In this half St. Ioe collected l3 of its 15 points. TIFFIN CALVERT The scoring came quick in this game. Only two minutes after the game was underway, Calvert had its first touchdown. The remainder of the first half was a punting duel with neither team scoring. Early in the third period Calvert sneaked over another touchdown to defeat the Mohawks 14-0. GIBSON BURG Scoring for the first time this season, the Mohawks were again defeated 24-6. Gibsonburg displayed both a running and a passing attack in downing the Saints. The Black and Gold got its touchdown on a 98 yard run after a pass interception. MARION ST. MARY Played in a steady downpour of rain, this game was an entirely defensive battle for the first half. The teams seesawed back and forth across the muddy field on even terms until late in the second half, when Marion pushed across two touchdowns to hand the Mohawks a 13-0 defeat. LIMA ST. ROSE This time it really looked as though the boys would do it. Q They began by ripping the Lima line at will, and it was still quite early in the game when a Mohawk back romped sixty- my five yards-from scrimmage to pay-dirt. But the play was called F as--. back for a clipping penalty. Their spirits dampened, the Wen- dies absorbed their sixth defeat .nf the season, 19-6. SANDUSKY ST. MARY Unleashing a passing attack that really clicked, the boys almost upset the dope over at Sandusky. With three consecutive undefeated seasons, the Blue Streaks were the Mohawks' most potential opponent. The Fostorians met the occasion by making their strongest bid of the season. They were beaten by one man, Rich Kaman, who made all five of his team's touchdowns. Final score 31-19. Final comment-wait till next year! Page Thirty-Seven Varsity Father Walz.

It was a gruelling schedule, calling for as many as four games in a week. Of twenty-one games played, only six were won. Yet it is signifi- cant that the Black and Gold outscored their opponents over the season, 726-723. In other words they lost a lot of close ones. DELPHOS ST. IOHN Making their season debut, the Countyline basketeers lost their first game due mostly to a case of jitters. They had never before appeared as a team and weren't sure of their ability. lt was a hard fought game all the way, and 'the outcome was uncertain until the final buzzer sounded. A heart breaker. Delphos 23, St. Wendelin 22. Page Thirty-Eight Rese rves lim Gillig, Father Walz, Dick Emerine, Phil Martin, Larry Mabus, Iohn Yost, Bob Emerlne, Jerry Iaccby Coach Blaser, A1 Ritzler. FREMONT ST. IOE Playing an entire different brand of ball than in their first start, the Mo- hawks rolled over the Crimson Streaks of Fremont 53-31. They got off to a good start, counting fifteen points to their opponent's two during the first quarter. The reserves carried on from there until the final victory was attained. CALVERT Playing one of their most bitter opponents, Calvert, the Black and Gold bowed for the second time this season. They were beaten in the first quarter when Calvert scored thirteen points to their own two. From there on the game was played on even terms, the Saints unable to erase the lead and the Calvert five unable to increase it. Final score: Calvert 36, St. Wendelin 24. LIMA ST. ROSE This was one of the most bitterly fought games of the season. It took an overtime period to decide the fate of the local five. Here's how the scoreboard looked at the end of the successive quarters: 12-11, 18-15, 24-24, 28-28. And then a tense, nerve-racking overtime which saw Lima emerge at the long end of a 31-29 score. ARCADIA The Mohawks ran the score up in every period except the second, when oddly enough they failed to score a single point. They scored fourteen, seven- teen, and eighteen points in the first, third, and fourth periods respectively. While the opponents could manage only seventeen points during all four quarters. All told, 49-17. TOLEDO CENTRAL Anyone missing this game missed the Mohawks at their best. lt Was a tightly contested game throughout. St. Wendelin built up an early eight point lead which was tied by the end of the first stanza. The Mohawks led at the halftime 18-14 and again at the end of the third period 29-28. Still ahead with five minutes to go, they lost two men on personals. Toledo then erased the lead and managed to cop the Frame 40-38. ARLINGTON Still suffering from the heart-rending defeat by the Toledo five, the Mo- hawks just lacked what it took in this game. They held their own for a half, leading at the intermission 16-12. From there on it Was Arlington all the way. Final score: Arlington 40, St. Wendelin 30. Page Thirty-Nine CAREY' The boys were in fine form as they took a powerful Carey five 33-21. The halftime score saw Carey still very much in the game, only four points behind the leaders. Most of the damage was done in the third quarter, when the Mo- hawks scored eleven points to their opponent's four. RISINGSUN Every St. Wendelin player scored in this game in,which the locals rolled over a hapless Risingsun quintet by a 56-35 count. The Risingsun boys tried but were no match for the Mohawks who were in top form. The second five showed great promise in this game. FOSTORIA HIGH The old jinx got the boys in this game with F. H. S. All set to avenge last September's football score, they just couldn't seem to find the range, making only two field goals during the entire game. All the rest of their points were made on foul shots. Too bad, 35-19. MARION ST. MARION A last quarter scoring spree by the Irish spelled defeat for the Mohawks. At the end of the third quarter the Black and Gold cagers led by one point 20-19. In the last quarter injuries and personal fouls took their toll, enabling the Marion five to score sixteen points to the Mohawks two. And the Mohawks bit the dust, 35-22. GIBSONBURG Height was the deciding factor in this ball game, and the Golden Bears had it. The halftime score saw the Mohawks trailing by seven points. Then the fireworks came, and when the smoke cleared away, the Wendies found them- selves on the short end of a 45-25 count. NORWALK ST. PAUL The Mohawks had things pretty much their own way in this game. They led in every quarter, 12-5 at the first, 19-13 at the second, and 32-16 at the third. The final reading was 40-18. LIMA ST. ROSE For the second time this season the Lima five took the decision. They did it in the second quarter. The first stanza saw the Mohawks trailing 9-7, but at the half the St. Rose quintet had increased the lead 29-19. The Mohawks made a comeback in the last quarter, but it fell short and the final score was 55-49. FREMONT ST. IOE For three quarters the home team threw everything at St. Ioe. They led at the first quarter 16-2, and never relinquished that lead until the final whistle gave them a 56-30 victorysone of the worst shellackings handed out by St. Wendelin this year. MARION ST. MARY It was generally agreed that the Mohawks were in their poorest form in this game. The Marion five had gained a nine point lead by the half, and added one more point in each of the following stanzas. They emerged with a 37-26 victory. FOSTORIA HIGH Fostoria captured the city title in this game by making it two in a row. lt started out as a thriller, and the halftime saw the teams deadlocked at 14 each. In the third quarter the Redmen went to town and established an eight point lead, and they were never headed after that. The final score 40-32. Shucks! CALVERT In the closing seconds of this ball game, victory was snatched from the Blasermen who had just established a one point lead with less than fifteen seconds to go. Then in the last five seconds, Calvert rang up a field goal to win by one point, 29-28. A tough one to lose.

The Mohawks led by two points at the half and again at the third quarter. In the closing minutes of the game they lost the lead and the ball game 32-29. BELLEVUE Although they lost to the tune of 58-36, this game was no disgrace for the locals. Bellevue, with two all-state stars, was regarded by sports-writers as one of the leading class A quints in Ohio. TOURNAMENT-CALVERT The Mohawks fell far behind in the first quarter, 14-4, and just couldn't seem to overcome this lead. At the half they had pulled up within two points of Calvert, 16-18, but they couldn't close the gap. Their floor play was far superior to Calvert's but their shots weren't registering and they were dropped from the tournament 35-30. For the sake of the record, this game was not com- pleted until after midnight. INTRAMURALS Believe it or not, one of the most enjoyable and exciting basketball events of the year came after the wind-up of the regular season. On the night of March 7, the seniors and sophomores, coached by Don CCrutchesl Huth, teamed up against the juniors and freshmen, tutored by Father Hoyinq. It was lots of fun and the rivalry was intense. The gladiators were out for blood, and so were the two cheering sections who sent up some of the loudest and longest howls ever heard in the local arena. The rafters were still shaking as Froslin wen to press. After taking the preliminary bout by ten points, the junior-frosh combine pulled the main feature out of the fire just before the bell. 29-27. This was a patriotic affair, too. Everybody. including the faculty, the officials, the players, even babes in arms, paid his dime to get in. The proceeds gave the school a war bond. Intramural basketball so appealed to the crowd that they asked for more. As a result, an afternoon intramural league was formed among tour teams who finished in the following order: Won Lost Pct.
