St Wendelin High School - Foslin Yearbook (Fostoria, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 98 of the 1956 volume:

Egg! A-ASA 74a 7756 Sa Wendefm my same Walame 287 Dedication Twenty-five years ago this lune, St. Wendelin High held its first graduation from the new school building on Countyline Street. The Reverend Robert V. O'Connor, prin- cipal, had planned and supervised the completion of the new building. His far- reaching foresight is evident as the parish now contemplates the necessity of adding a new wing to the building. Now, as a commemoration of the first twenty-five years in this building and es- pecially in honor of Father O'Connor, we, the Class of 1956, humbly dedicate this vol- ume of the Foslin. Father O'Connor was principal at SWH for ten years-from 1926 to 1936. His untimely death, April 4, 1953, ended 30 years of priestly service in schools and parishes of the diocese. The staff would like to pay tribute also to the class of 1931, the first class to graduate from this high school. Pastor Reverend Robert R. Ruffing Principal . . . Reverend Donald S.

Mu if Music - The music section at SWHS cannot be traced back 25 years, but in its 5 years of existence great strides have been made. Halt a decade ago there were ba rely enough students for a small band. Today, St. Wendelin boasts of a senior band and a junior band. To add to this accomplishment, the senior band rated a good in its first statewide competition last spring. Much of the band's success is due to Mr. Ralph Lupidi, music director of SWHS. As the Foslin goes to press, word has been confirmed that Mr. Lupidi will not be back at St. Wendelin's next year. For the great work he has done in getting the music program here organized, St. Wendelinites join in saying Thanks, Mr. Lupidi, and good Iuckg God bless your future work.
