Christmas Shows Many Patterns Christmas, like snow flakes, has many patterns. First there is the pattern of childhood - Santa Claus... candy canes...toys - all the excitement and expectation of the anticipated happiness. Then there is natures pattern - the wintry wonderland of of swirling snowflakes, glistening icicles and the hush of a world under a giant blanket of whiteness. The most beautiful of all is the pattern shaped by God twenty centuries ago when the shepherds and wise men followed that star to the Manger and proclaimed to all the world the birth of Our Savior. As you piece together your Christmas Pattern, May it be filled with Cheer and Good Will.

Page 8 November, 1963» He's- She's-I Pat McKeam? “I'm Pat McKeam! says Patricia John McKearn, 18- year-old senior girl, and Pat- rick John McKearn, 14-year- old freshman boy. In BCHS history, this is the first time two students have had so nearly the same complete name. Besides being alike in name, they are both full-blooded Irishmen, third cousins and each has a brother attending BCHS. While Pat 64 is kept busy as a sales clerk at F.W. Wool- worth, Pat '67 might be seen at home working on his coin collection. Senior Pat's favorite subject is Spanish. For recreation she spends much time horseback- riding and collection records of Broadway musicals. She plans to pursue a career in medical technology. Besides his coin collection, freshman Pat enjoys most sports, particularly tennis, fishing and hunting. His favorite subject is science and as of now, he plans to be an arch- tect.

Thompson and Hortense Meyers Robert Kennedy is an ex- traordinary man in himself. This book treats of him as such a person and not as the shadow of his older brother, John. It is a comprehensible study of “Bobby” on his own. His early life, schooling, political training, and his own future in politics are all given an ade- quate coverage. The portrayal by Roberta Laughlin is that of a rising young poli- tician and American. He is both of these in his own right. Apostle in a Topbat by James Patrick Derum In nineteenth century France a new movement was begun by a man named Frederic Ozanan. This is the story of his life, as well as the history of the foundation of the Saint Vincent de Paul Society and its work. Sally cradled the phone with a thrill of eager anticipation. Johnny had finally asked her to Homecoming! Of course, that inevitable question arose, “What am I going to wear? The next day, Sally gaily set out in search of the perfect outfit. Her dreams were fulfilled as she viewed the many beauti- ful suits and dresses that CHAPMAN'S had to offer. After much deliberation, Sally chose from their large selection of absolutely “dreamy outfits an irresistable pink looped-mohair jumper, so soft and chic. » A Happily Sally breezed out of CHAPMAN’S and set out for CHARNON’S, where she knew she would find the perfect pair of shoes and purse to complement her outfit. Of course she was right, for there she chose, from CHARNON’S exclusive selection, a beautiful pair of pattina heels, with Sally then visited the NEUMODE HOSIERY shop, one of Beloit's newest stores. There she selected flattering nylon stockings, with the advice and assistance of a NEUMODE trained expert. Tired but happy, our wise shopper made a final stop at DREKMEIER DRUGS where, after being refreshed by a Coke, she selected becoming make-up and accessories. The big day finally arrived. Sally Shopper, our wise young miss, starts the special day off at HAZEL'S HAIR STYLING, where she could relax and “become beautiful at the hands of expert hair stylists. That night Johnny arrived truly magnificent in his suit and vest ensemble from the NATIONAL, the home of fine men's and boy's wear. Johnny's excellent taste showed not only in his clothes, but in the corsage he proudly presented Sally. Johnny knew he could count on EMMANUEL'S to come up with something unique and beautiful in all their arrangements. k Gaily Johnny and Sally set out. Their first stop was of course, dinner. What better place to truly enjoy a good meal with all your friends than the CORRAL? Yes, Homecoming for Sally and Johnny was truly a time to remember. Why not make your special day a memorable one too? Adv MUI

Page 2 JFK Stood For Our Time In the course of a minute’s time, the course of history of our nation and even of the world has been altered. In the course of a minute, one twisted mind snuffed out the life of a man who stood for freedom, progress, and peace. In the course of a minute, American citizens stood, united in sorrow, over the death of President John F. Kennedy. It was a disheartened America on November 22 that viewed the death of our 35th president. It isn't the first assassination in America’s history - there were Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley. But it was different this time. John Kennedy was a part of us. One does not have to share similar views to know and admire him. He stood for the twentieth century - he introduced a new look into our country. This man, 43 at the time of inauguration, caught the nation's imagination, and his style was reflected by the nation. Fifty mile hikes became a national fad and touch football was popularized. The Kennedy clan in its en- tirety became “news”; everything they did was of interest to the nation. But beneath this glamor and publicity there lay tension - confrontation with the Russians that might have ended in nuclear war, a civil rights crisis, and unem- ployment. The responsibilities of government rested heav- ily upon his shoulders. His goals were high, and his courage and determination brought him close to realizing them. And, now, he is no more. He has given his life in the service of America. Former Vice President Richard M. Nixon said, “The greatest tribute we can pay to his mem- ory is in our daily lives to do everything we can to reduce the forces of hatred which drive men to such terrible deeds.” If this could be done, if any good could come from this, his sacrifice would not be in vain. The shock of his death will wear off, but its stark reality is still there, and we must grasp the immensity of the offense and try to better the condition that caused it. I think John F. Kennedy has told us in his own words and by his own example what he wants. “And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” Maureen Griffin Students and faculty extend sympathy and prayers to the family of DAVID GREGUS ’63 who lost his life in a car accident November 23 A Reward-For This? Bob rushed up to Jerry’s desk to coax Jerry into giving him the History Assignment. Jerry didn’t want to be con- sidered square” so he gave Bob the paper. He thought, “Just this once won’t make that much difference.” But things didn’t turn out that way. After Bob knew he could copy Jerry’s homework, he continued to ask him for it. It got to a point where Bob didn't do any of his homework. Finally semester exams came. Bob had planned on cramming for the test the night before, but he had forgotten about the basketball game he had to play that night. Bob didn't know anything. He pleaded with Jerry to write down the answers and pass them back to him. Everything was going fine until class ended. Bob and Jerry were asked to stay after class. There was no way to get out of it now! They had been caught. Both students were given F for the test paper and dismissed from the room. On the way out Bob commented, “I sure learned my lesson!” But had he? Bob's reason for not copying anymore was that he didn’t want another F. Isn’t there a better reason than that? We were created and put on earth to make the best of ourselves and to love God. Can we do this by cheating? Perhaps there is a good deal of cheating going on in our school which will never be detected. Yet we ought to be mature enough to realize that we ourselves will suffer for cheating, not anyone else. We might go through our whole lives without getting caught cheating in school, in business or in our employment. So what? On Judgement Day - do we expect a reward for that?
