Ken Scheit took this picture in 1945 showing the original window above the altar. During the remodel of 1950, this window was removed due to the sun shining in the eyes of those in the nave. You can see the inpression from the outside if you look from the south parking lot. A picture from the local ;aper shows William Joseph demonstrating stained
