Our Lady of Mount Carmel High School was officially opened in a newly constructed two-story annex located on Electric Street and staffed by the Felician Sisters.

With its impressive array of licenses, approbations, and accreditations from the State of Michigan, the school earned a reputation as one of the top educational institutions in the nation.

Initially, the curriculum consisted of required subjects, but as enrollment grew, it expanded to include a broader range of general and vocational courses.

This period saw significant improvements in the curriculum, facilities, and resources, all made possible through the collaborative efforts of Sr. Emmanuel and Fr.

Krych demonstrated his commitment to education by sponsoring ten annual scholarships to the high school.

During World War II, the school introduced relevant courses in aeronautics, occupations, first aid, nutrition, and home nursing.

The school's library was particularly impressive, featuring thousands of fiction and non-fiction volumes, twelve sets of encyclopedias, and multiple magazine subscriptions.

The science laboratory was fully equipped for physics and chemistry experiments, while the music studio offered an excellent selection of instruments for band and orchestra.

Additionally, the school had a thriving drama department, providing students with a well-rounded educational experience.

These clubs catered to diverse interests, allowing students to explore their passions in areas such as: art, music, drama, and vocational skills.

Since then, numerous editors, staff members, and moderators have worked tirelessly to uphold the principles of excellent journalism.

Carmel High School offered a comprehensive extracurricular religious program, building on its regular ethics classes.

This program included: annual retreats for spiritual reflection and growth, the Junior Unit Holy Name Society, reestablished by Fr.

Krych to encourage boys' spiritual development and frequent sacramental participation, the St. Casimir Society for altar boys, St. Theresa Sodality for girls, and school membership in the CSMC Unit, part of a broader Catholic Action program initiated in 1929.

These initiatives fostered a strong spiritual foundation and encouraged students to engage in their faith beyond regular classes.

Krych, in particular, earned the affection and admiration of students through his kindness, paternal care, and pioneering efforts in establishing a comprehensive athletic program.

To turn this idea into reality, he enlisted the help of Thomas Watkowski, proposing that they assemble a group of men to raise funds for football equipment.

A six-member committee was formed, consisting of Robert Bednarek, Alex Uszynski, John Jacobs, Henry Stec, Frank Wszelaki, and Thomas Watkowski.

Building on their initial success, the committee expanded its membership by welcoming nine new young men: Anthony Siemion, Peter Jablonski, Bertram Lange, Leonard Kowaleski, Albert Hebda, Roman Watkowski, Walter Przytula, Steve Tar, and Len Stoh.

On December 9, 1945, The Oak Club was founded with the primary objective of promoting athletics through fundraising efforts via various social events.

Through successful monthly dances, a high-profile event featuring Skitch Henderson at Wyandotte Chemicals, and an annual picnic paired with a car raffle, the club amassed a substantial sum.

This total of $1,250 enabled the school to cover various expenses, including: advertising programs, team transportation costs, organization of the Mt.

On June 6 they met St. Florian (Hamtramck) at Briggs Stadium and almost turned in the greatest upset of the season when a seventh inning rally fell short of the mark.

A majority of returning letter winners were on hand when the Comets began practice for their third season of league play under the direction of Coach Piatek.

Following this contest, there were two victories before the Comets were dropped by St. Patrick for the third straight year in the battle for the Knights of Columbus trophy.
