S. Pucelik of this city, had a very fine tribute paid to him in "Teen of the Week" in the Omaha World-Herald on Monday. The article is as fol lows: Tom Pucelik, who recited poetry in Greek and Latin dur ing this interview, is Teen of the Week. Tom, a 17-year-old senior, is better known for his football, basket ball and track feats at Creighton Prep than his lin guistic ability. But he showed why he's a straight A student at Prep by reciting several lines from the Odyssey in Greek and the open ing of the Aeneid of Virgil in Latin. He also earns top grades in English, physics and religion, and is on the honor roll for the fourth straight year. Tom and his brother Jerry, a junior, are the sons of Dr. and Mrs. L. S. Pucelik of Platts mouth. They live in Omaha with their grandmother, Mrs. Michael Wahosky, 656 South Fortieth street, while attending school. Tom had been a member of the Prep football varsity two years and was an All-Intercity end the past season. This is his third year on the basket ball team, and last spring he won the Intercity shotput title in track and was second in the Class A State Meet. His best performance was 47 feet 9 inches. But Tom makes it clear that sports are second to studies at Prep. He's a little undecided, about the future, but probably won't accept athletic scholarships of fered by St. Louis U., San Fran cisco U., and Marquette. Ke may enter a seminary after gradua tion from Prep. BACK FROM DEAD . . . J. D. (Jake) Settles, Zanesvillc, Ohio, was dead seven minutes during an operation.
