Senior Attends Safety Meeting Crusaders End Hard Fought Season by Mike Hahn “It was a good season,” remarked Coach Bam a bo at the BCHS football team's final meeting, November 2. “I wish we could play a few over,” commented some of the players while taking a last look at the season. The Cru- saders ended gridiron action with an even slate of four wins, four losses and a tie. The 'Saders defense was an extremely important in- strument in attaining a re- spectable season record. In seven of their nine games the defense held opponents to 13 points or under. The defense yielded an average of 12 points per game. Next year a new football season will begin but many fans will still be talking about games such as Monroe, when, but for one forty-two yard run, the Crusaders commanded the game. There was a game at St. John's which ended in a 13-13 tie. In the Boylan game Cru- saders held Titans scoreless and at bay until the final quarter. Last to be forgotten will probably be the Marian Central game. During the last four years this game above all others has shown the Cru- saders at their best. Two years ago Marian, one of the best teams in Illinois, lost their homecoming to BCH. The Hurricanes were given a chance for revenge the next year, playing and defeating the Crusaders at the Beloit home- coming. This year again the boys from BCHS invaded Wood- stock for the Marian Home- coming game. BCHS was an underdog all the way; never- theless, our boys were winning 12 to 17 with thirty seconds left in the game. Then a short pass was completed and the receiver eluded the Crusaders for the all important touchdown which brought Marian a victory Senior Bill Brown, BCHS representative of the Wisconsin Association of Catholic Second- ary Schools Principals at- tended the second meeting of a committee on problems of youthful drivers. The groyp, a subcommittee of the Governor's Committee on Youth, met in Madison Nov. 22 Before attending that meet- ing, Bill and James Boho conducted discussions in Sister M. Gregory's American Problems classes on safety and on ideas for a question- naire to be given high school seniors. The problem of driver safety seems to be most prominent among persons be- tween the ages of 18 and 21, and to occur most frequently during the early morning hours between 1:30 and 3 a.m. on little patrolled state highways in counties north of Madison. Some of the questions sug- gested by students for use on such a questionnaire were: Do you show off when you drive? Do you drink before you drive? Is an accident always the driver's fault or may it be partially the fault of another occupant of the car? At the meeting Thursday a committee was organized to work on the questionnaires and to study the manner in which other states are handling this problem. Cluffie Reporting JV Captures Three Victories by Dick Goldsworthy Crusader J.V.'s opened their '63-'64 basketball season against St. Mary's Burlington Friday, Nov. 22. This first game proved to be a thrilling one as the Crusaders coasted past St. Mary's 31-28. The J.V.'s were paced by John Wingor with 12 points while game honors went to Jim Agnew of Burlington with 15 points. In their next encounter the J.V.'s captured their second victory by defeating Union Grove 37-35. BCH honors went to John Toutchok while Union Grove was paced by Dale Erickson and Jack Nelson, each with 13 points. J.V. cagers strung their victories to three as they ram- bled over South Beloit 35-27. Although the Saders were never in trouble, the lead was slim, John Touschok again scoring honors while the Sobos were led by Wayne Hyler. Should we or shouldn't we? The problem of having girls’ phy ed classes for fqur years instead of only two was discussed in senior guidance (2). Patricia McKearn came up with the solu- tion. “Why have it? All we do is exercise, and who needs it. One of the senior homerooms was asked how many would attend the pizza party so that the cost of the pizza could be estimated. After it had been clearly explained a wide awake senior asked, Is it free?” It seems Lynn Bernstein (154) was in trouble up to her neck on Nov. 26! It happened in Spanish class, fourth hour. Workmen had forgotten to recover an opening in the floor in Room 19, and Lynn stepped into it - up to her neck. But Mr. Mauel came to her rescue. Perhaps Lynn is really planning a disappearing act for the Press Club Variety Show and decided to start practicing early. In French the pronounciations of poison (poison) and poisson (fish) are very similar. While reading a menu, Kathy Murphy ordered poison instead of fish. We hope the waiter understands. There is no need for smoking anymore. You can get the same effect by going down to the Pop House and breathing.

Pa- tricia Yanulis. THE SENIORS couldn't bear to lose, so they took first place honors with their Homecoming float We panda win. This picture was taken during the Homecoming parade, Saturday, Nov. 2. Mr. Mauel Encourages Active Spanish Course Spanish class is not all work, for mixed in with the daily routine are singing, speakers, and films. There is also an exchange of letters with students in Mexico to provide for a deeper knowledge of the language. A special table in the cafeteria has been reserved for Spanish students, so that they may have an opportunity to perfect their conversation technique. Mr. Mauel also hopes to organize a Spanish club in the near future. When Mr. Mauel says, Learning a language is not impossible for anyone; it takes time, practice and determination. he means it and provides his Spanish students with adequate op- portunity for learning the language. Many new and varied tech- niques of learning Spanish are being used this year. One is the oral Spanish tests based on drills, conversations, verbs and dialogues practiced in class. On one taperecorder Mr. Maul asks the questions. Another records the student's answers. The use of pictures is being promoted more in the Spanish classes. Pictures showing actions become helps to practicing dialogues. These are used so that Spanish stu- dents may get an image of the word meaning rather than merely learning the Spanish equivalent of the English written word. There is also a higher accent on pattern drills through which students learn grammar inductively. Through repetition students are soon able to come up with an autbmatic response.

December, 1963 TOM FARALLI (24) adds 2 points for the Crusader victory over St. Mary’s Burlington while Larry Scott (42) waits for the re- bound. Athletic Seasons Keep Coach Busy Page 7 Saders Varsity Opens With String Of Victories Coach Don Barnabo, who has just completed another suc- cessful season on the gridiron, is feeling optimistic about this year’s basketball team. The reasons for his optimism, he says, is good height and fair speed, though with a question mark on outside shooting. Although Coach Bamabo’s first love is football, he is also varsity basketball and track coach. Besides his heavy coaching responsibilities, he conducts all of the boy's physical education classes and teaches two classes of American History. Mr. Barnabo is in his fifth year of coaching at Beloit Catholic High. Before coming to Beloit he coached one year at Ocanto Falls near Green Bay. He is a graduate of Wis- consin State Teacher's College, at Superior, where he lettered in football and tennis. During the summer of '62 he received his master’s degree in physical education from Colorado State University, Greeley, Colo. Coach has plans for an athletic family, Dana Lee, his four year old daughter, has a head start on being a cheer leader, getting experience at Crusader's games. Though Dante James is only two years and Thomas Maurice, 5 weeks, both are being given back- ground and fundamentals of athletics according to Mr. Barnabo. Coach believes that the spirit of the student body has improved greatly since he first came to the school. “The attitude in the classroom as well as on the playing field,’’ he says, “helps a lot.” by Peter Piazza ’Saderland played host to St. Mary’s of Burlington Friday, November 22 to open the '63- ’64 basketball season. The Hi 1 ltoppers took an early lead, but as the 'Saders caught fire, the gap diminished and the first quarter buzzer sounded with Beloit on the top side of a 20 to 14 score. From here on it was a one- sided game as the BCH gun- ners led by Mike Hahn, poured it on their opponents. Half time showed the lead doubled to 42-26. The three- quarter mark left the score 65-33 and the game ended at 80-42. “Top Gun’’ honors went to Mike Hahn who racked up 24 points. Don Smiley, Larry Scott, and Tom Faralli bagged 15, 14, and 12 points respec- tively. Less than a week later, Wednesday, Nov. 27, the cagers successfully defended their opening victory by adding Union Grove to the list of conquests. Again led by Mike Hahn’s 25 points, the Saders ate up the Broncos 74 to 52. Scott, Faralli, and Smiley also got in double figures with 16, 12, and 12 respectively. To lengthen the string of wins to three, the Saders in- vaded South Beloit. After a 7 to 7 first quarter, the Henry Avenue gunners, gained mo- mentum, slowly at first, sparked by Danny Burns' drives and then pulled steadily away until the Sobo cause was futile. At the end of the game, the score- board again showed a BCH victory with a score of 70-42. In double figures this game were Mike Hahn with 16, Larry Scott with 10, Tom Faralli 10 and Dan Burns 10. Beloit Catholic has scored a total of 224 points, for an average of 75 per game while the opponents have scored only 136 for an average of 45. COACH BARNABO (right) discusses sports with Pat Aldrich.
