St. Anthony High School, Detroit Michigan

Wednesday, May 28, 1958

    Cap and Gown day, Monday, began the week of memories for the graduating class. They attended Mass in their caps and gowns and received Holy Communion as a group. Following Mass, they received special awards and honors in the presence of their parents.
    After Mass and Communions yesterday, a breakfast was served in the cafeteria. This afternoon, the seniors will consecrate themselves as a class to the Sacred Heart in a candlelight ceremony in the Sister's chapel.
    Tomorrow is Skip Day on which seniors are not required to come to school. They get together for picnics and attend parties given in their honor.
    Finally Sunday, the meaningful day will arrive. The graduates will begin the day with Mass and Communion for the last time together at 9:30 a.m. in St. Anthony church.
    Later, graduates from Detroit Catholic high schools will gather in the afternoon at the U. of D. Memorial Building to hear His Eminence Edward Cardinal and receive solemn Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
    The distribution of diplomas in church at 8:00 will complete the final page of memories, and the Rev. Robert Kunich, C.PP.S., will speak to the graduates of 1958.

Fellowship

    "I guess it'll be coming out of her ears soon," laughed a pupil of Sister M. DePazzi's, referring to mathematics.
    Sister, head of SAH's math department, has been awarded a National Science Foundation Fellowship in the High School Mathematics Teachers' Institute at Notre Dame University.
    The aim of the training, to be held this summer from June 23 to August 4, is to bring the high school and college teachers into close contact with the best tradition in math and stimulating methods of teaching it.

FRANK HABBEL, Mary Jo Francis, Denise Abood, and Dave Gracki, new Student Council officers.

     Rev. Marvin Steffes, C.PP.S., '49, will be ordained Sunday at St. Charles Seminary, Carthagena, Ohio, and will offer his first Solemn High Mass in St. Anthony Church June 8.
     A 'B' student in high school, Fr. Steffes began his studies for the priesthood immediately after graduation.
     He had belonged to the Sodality and worked on the senior yearbook staff.

"I'll be just as happy to complete my 22 years of schooling this June as the seniors will be to finish their twelve," says the Rev. Robert Kunich, C.PP.S.

    "I was hoping for one, but I never expected to win three scholarships!" declared Faith Minne, 215.
    Faith has accepted a $750 scholarship to St. Mary's College, Notre Dame, Indiana, where she plans to major in secondary education. Here she will have a 28-hour work plan and 12 credit hours which total a 40-hour week.
    The main competition for this scholarship was a written examination, taken last October, for which all entering freshmen were eligible.
    "I'm so happy about this opportunity," Faith said. She had applied for eight scholarships. "It was a matter of winning a scholarship or perhaps not being able to attend college at all."

Father Kunich will deliver the graduation speech to the seniors in church on June 1 at 8:00 p.m.

Father came to live at St. Anthony Rectory in 1956 after his ordination in the same year. Since then he has been studying at the

Summer suggests a time for relaxation, but many SAH students will be working during the hot months.
Ken Janiszewski 214 is a substitute organist at St. Raymond and St. Martin churches. "I like the morning hours because then I have the rest of the day free," he says. "Weddings are my favorite."

    Meeting different people is the factor Mary Jayne Mayes 312 likes about being a switchboard operator at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital.
     "The work is complicated but very interesting," she says.
    Bob Johannes 218 works at St. Veronica grade school during the summer months keeping the building "in trim." The job includes cleaning the rooms and painting window frames.
     Chris Pacholski 114 will enjoy the outdoors and fun of camp-life with her job as a "K.P." for a CYO girls' camp.
    Dave Kirsh 118 will suffer through a popular summer job for boys. He is a caddy at Lochmoor Country Club.
     "My job provides advancement in its field," says Donna Puwal 116, who works in the photography department of Kresge's downtown store. "You learn the trade while you are working."
     Amalia Kirkaldy 122, assistant librarian at Walker Branch Library, says, "My main work is putting books back on the shelves. I'm called a 'page'!"

For meeting the specifications set down by the National Sodality Center, the St. Anthony High School Sodality has merited an "A", the second highest award presented to a sodality for its work throughout the year.
Rating is determined by attendance of members at meetings, by the observance of sodality rules on the part of the members, and by the number of spiritual activities sponsored by the sodality, says Sister M. Cordula, sodality moderator.

Juniors Enjoy
Victory Party

A junior class victory party was given April 24 in the SAH auditorium to reward their showing of 110 per cent participation in the ticket campaign for "Desert Song."
For 87 per cent, 85 per cent, and 70 per cent participation respectively, the sophomores, freshmen, and seniors enjoyed parties in their individual homerooms.
