1954 at St. Anthony's Rev. Robert Hartnett is the pastor and his assistant is Rev. Mercurio Fragapane. Fr. Hartnett was appointed pastor after the death of Fr. Herman Gies in 1945. At this time the custodian is William H. Reus, organist is Fred Sullivan, and choir director is Joseph Ransing. St. Anthony School has approximately 350 students and is fully staffed by Sisters of the Holy Cross from grades 1–8. Principal is Sr. M. Melanie, CSC. Classes with more than 40 students are not unusual, and the sisters handle the discipline well. The space on the west side of the school is the girls’ playground and on the east side is the boys’ playground. On Sunday, May 16 the second annual Holy Name Amateur Show is held in the St. Anthony auditorium for the children of the school. First place goes to Barbara Binzen, age 13, for her tap dance solo; second prize is awarded to Donald Dis-cavage, age 9, for his accordion solo; Ronald Shank, age 12, comes in third with a piano solo, and honorable mention goes to Miriam Quigley, age 10, for her Irish dance. Master of ceremonies is parishioner and television personality Leo Kelly. Of note during this year is the death of a parishioner, Richard W. Trees, at the age of 74. His parents, Jacob Trees and Caroline Hoenninger, had been the first couple ever to be married in St. Anthony parish. They were married by Fr. Anthony Kaul on April 11, 1871. (Publisher’s note: On Holy Saturday, 1954, Clayton and Dora Mitzel became the proud parents of a baby boy.) |
A popular place to "hang out" even over the summer break from school, St. Anthony students enjoy the grass lawn in front of the school. The view is looking east on Orange St. with the convent pictured in the distance. Pictured are (left to right) Tom Kiely, David Danz, Mike Kiely, and Bill Danz. The shadow is of another Danz—the author. |
The list of contestants from the printed program of the "Second Annual Holy Name Amateur Show" which was presented at 8:00 p.m. Sunday evening, May 16. Peoples' interests obviously were not limited to Sunday night television and 1954 student talent must have been spectacular! |
