                    The name of the school was changed to Hayden High school in honor of Fr. Francis Hayden who started the school in 1911. An attempt to improve the athletic programs was made with the hire of a football and basketball coach "Bow Wow" Wojtkiewicz. The priests of the school had filled in to cover the job during World War II. *The newspaper does not say what happened to "Bow Wow" - but he left in the middle of basketball season after officially resigning his post. Fr. Gardner took over but really did not have the time for the job. Players most likely had to coach themselves thru a lot of this season.
