In deciding to use the St. Paul’s Seminary facilities as a new home for SS. Peter & Paul’s High School, the Diocese of Saginaw turned down an offer from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to rent the seminary for use as a drug treatment center. The reported offer would have given the diocese $1.5 million in rent over a 10-year period. The seminary was attractive to HEW because of its large campus, modern structures and dormitory facilities. Accepting the offer may have eliminated, however, the diocese’s option on turning the seminary into an area-wide high school or restarting the seminary program.

8 SCHOOLS PLACE PLAYERS ON HONOR TEAM
The Saginaw News' Class B All-Area Team
SS. Peter & Paul Dominates With Four on First squad
SS. Peter & Paul's, the Class B area champion and second ranked team in the final AP state poll, dominates this year's Class B All-Area team with four selections on the first unit and two on the second.
On player from each of seven different schools fills out the first team, which features All-State quarterback Chris Boyd of the Crusaders in a backfield of Roy Burks, Midland Dow; Jim Rathje, Laker High; Terry Merchant, Ithaca and teammate Rick Breidenbach.
Crusader All-State selections: end Al Martin and tackle Bill Janetsky lead the All-Area offensive line of End George Kubiak, Carrollton; Sherwin Jordan, Buena Vista; Mark Fachting, St. Louis and Jim McCarthy, Alma.
Boyd, 5'10" and 185, combined a fine passing arm with a sturdy rushing attack at the quarterback spot. He also handled the "monster-man" or rover-back position on defense for the Crusaders.
He tossed 22 touchdown passes this season while completing 53 of 82 aerials for 1,120 yards. His three-year touchdown pass total is 58 with 2,840 yards gained. He rushed for 317 yards before sustaining a knee injury in the middle of the year and kicked 47 of 51 point after touchdown attempts his sophomore and junior seasons.
Martin, a first-class All-State selection in Class C last season, won a berth on the second unit in B this season. His Heroics include 11 touchdown passes in 35 receptions that covered 645 yards. He caught 83 passes for nearly 2,000 yards and scored 27 touchdowns through the air in three years as Boyd's favorite target.
Martin, 6'0" and 185, also was a tough defensive player on one of the area's top defensive squads and blocked two punts during the campaign.
Janetsky, 6'0" and 200, also earned second-team, AP All-State honors at the center spot though he was a tackle in order to find room for the talented lineman on the squad.
He could always be counted on to give that necessary block and freed Crusader runners 11 times with the key block on touchdown runs. His side of the line was called on about 75 percent of the time on rushing plays and was not consistently handled by any opposing offensive linemen during the season.
Breidenbach, 5'9" and 170, has been the key runner in the Crusader attack over the past few seasons and is one of the best runners to ever come out of the parochial ranks. He scored 14 touchdowns this season and gained 872 yards in addition to grabbing two touchdown passes. He scored 15 touchdowns and gained 1,030 yards last season.
Burks, the only junior on the squad, led a solid Dow team that handed Mount Pleasant its only loss of the season. He performed both ways but was the strongest on offense where he gained 1,197 yards rushing in 156 carries, caught 20 passes for 227 yards and scored 10 touchdowns. He was credited with 61 tackles and five interceptions.
Laker's Rathje, 6'0" and 198, scored 12 touchdowns and 18 two-point conversions for 90 points this season and gained 1,134 yards in 153 carries. He caught 14 passes for 162 yards and retuned kickoffs for a 28.0 average. His defensive stats read 63 tackles, two pass interceptions and one fumble recovery.
Merchant of Ithaca, 5'11" and 180, gained 731 yards in 127 carries, caught 13 passes for 217 yards and scored five touchdowns. He passed for 524 yards and three touchdowns, returned eight punts for 141 yards and one score and returned nine kickoffs for 253 yards. He was given credit for 30 tackles at the defensive safety spot.
Carrollton's Kubiak, 6'1" and 180, handles the other end spot for his duty as pass receiver as well as tackle. He scored big at the end of the season with two touchdowns each against Oscoda and Tawas and finished the year with 32 points.
St. Louis' Fachting pushed his 5'8', 165-pound frame around quite well this season while harassing opposing quarterbacks and ball carriers. He was credited with 144 tackles while performing at middle guard for the Panthers. He also was rated as one of the top blockers in the area while handling a guard spot on offense.
McCarthy of Alma, 5'10" and 185, is the premier center on the star-studded squad. He was instrumental in Alma's running game that made most of its progress through the center of the line, which was ably handled by McCarthy. He was equally strong on pass protection.
Jordan, 5'9" and 175, was a demon on defense for the Knights and shut of the middle to some of the finest runners in the area from the White Pine Conference. He also was deemed a strong blocker at guard for the Knights and was selected to the All-White Pine team.
The second team backfield is strong with quarterback Craig Beard of St. Louis; Felton Woods, Buena Vista; Jim Apley, Bad Axe and Mike Anderson, Chesaning.
The second unit line includes ends Steve Nigg, Caro, and SS. Peter & Paul's Jim Reynolds. The interior line consists of Sid Hull, Ithaca, Peter O'Toole, SS. Peter & Paul; Chris Busche, Clare; Mark Schubel, Caro and Craig Bernthal of Bad Axe.
