 Page 4 Mr. Cameron Tells Reporter Of Varied Work Experiences In a recent interview, Mr. Heron Cameron, one of the present maintenance men at BCHS, related some of his interesting experiences and employments since coming to Beloit in 1924. When he was of junior high school age, Mr. Cameron came from the South with his parents and six of the eight children. The purpose of his father’s coming was employment at Stoney’s Nursery. Until his graduation from Beloit high school, Mr. Cameron worked at Fairbanks-Morse as mailboy and janitor. Sometime after his graduation he took an apprentice course in interior house painting in Chicago. When he returned to Beloit, he again worked at Fairbanks and also did some painting. When World War II broke out, he joined the army and received his basic training in Arizona and later was sent overseas. In North Africa he was put at the head of a group of men who unloaded ships. Here he experienced his first air raid as he was unloading an English ship. He explained that 32 planes went over and he remembers being saved because he followed the advice of an Englishman and stayed aboard the ship. Later he went to Naples, Italy, and then on to Marseilles, France. One of his European experiences was an eight day leave at the Riviera for rest. By the time he returned home he had earned five campaign stars. Following the war he went- into the garage business for a few years. He married in Chi- cago in 1947 and then returned to Beloit. Until 1951 he held a variety of jobs, one of which was that of chauffeur to the vice-president of the Diamond Match Company. By Pauline Van Kampen MR. CAMERON In 1951 he worked at Great Lakes, III. for the Electronics Supply Office. As supervisor of the guards from 1951 to 1954, some of his duties were taking finger prints, checking passes, and holding posts of fire chief and civil defense officer of three buildings. When he returned to Beloit, he was employed by Norming- ton’s Dry Cleaners until he came to BCHS. Now, as a part time job, he sells beauty supplies to beauty salons in various cities around Beloit. He works at the high school from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. He says, “I like the atmosphere at Catholic High, but dislike gum that has to be removed from the floors.” Some of his duties as general maintenance man, are washing windows, sweeping floors, and replacing burnt out light bulbs. February, 1964 Classrooms Get New Cabinets During the Christmas holi- day new cabinets were in- stalled in both the typing room and the biology laboratory. New display cases were also added in the laboratory. On Dec. 14, the janitors removed the old cloakroom from the typing room to make room for upper and lower cabinets of a natural wood finish, complete with sliding doors. Installed also is a counter with a formica top. These cabinets are all numbered so that equipment can be found quickly and ef- ficiently. They are a great asset to the typing room for the storing of extra supplies. Sr. Febronia commented, “I’m so happy with the new equipment that I just haven’t any words to express my feelings.” Sister Ronalda seems just Carole Fuhrmann Places In Contest Carole Fuhrmann a BCH senior, took second place in an all-city ‘‘Ability Counts” essay contest. She won a $25 Savings Bond. Kathy Mullins and Jim Boho, also seniors, received honorable mention and $10 Savir gs Bond. The essays written by these students have been entered in the state com- petition. Carole is a member of the Press Club and also is on the editorial board of the school paper. She has taught first, second, and third grade Satur- day religion classes and a summer religion class. Carole says drawing is her favorite pastime and she plans to attend college next year, majoring in art. as happy with the new cabinets and display cases in the biology room. The side blackboard and bulletin boards were removed so that display cases complete with sliding glass doors, could be fastened to the walls. At the bottom are drawers and cupboards. A local firm made and installed these cases and cabinets. Sister Febronia and Sister Ronalda expressed their gratitude to the Beloit parishes whose generosity made it possible to obtain this equip- ment. CAROLE FUHRMANN

BCHS Draws Students From Various Places According to the records in the office, at this time there are 426 students attending classes at BCHS. Beloit resi- dents make up a total of 402 students, four of whom are non-Catholics. Of this group. 14 students come from rural areas around Beloit. For 16 persons, getting to school is quite a trip. Thirteen of these students arrive from Janesville, a distance of 14 miles. One student, Felicia Case, comes from Williams Bay, 35 miles away, and another, Connie Cash, comes from Hanover, Wis., a distance of 16 miles. Other out of town students come from South Beloit, Rock- ton and Roscoe. This group has 13 daily commuters. Another method of listing Beloit residents is according to parishes. Because of its size, St. Jude’s is at the head of the list with 172 students attending BCHS. Next is Our Lady of the Assumption with 125, St. Thomas has 88 and St. Paul’s has 11. FOR OUR GBOMKTRY HTUDKNTS: The geometry teacher was a bit concerned about her class, so many of the pupils seemed to have no understanding of the various geo- metric concepts. Her spirits were lifted, however, when she over- heard this discussion in the cafe- teria. •That guy Jane's been going out with is a real square,” said the pert blond. “More like a rhombus, maybe,” the friend added. “Huh? Come again. Yeah, a rhombus. You know— sort of a square that is out of kilter.” Cheerleaders Strive To Rouse Fan Spirit On Mondays and Thursdays from 3:25 to 4:15 p.m. 13 cheerleaders can be seen practicing in the corridors near the publications room and in the east wing. Besides regular attendance at practice these girls must maintain a C average and have a reputation above reproach. Other qualities they must have are enthusiasm, good sports- manship, leadership, ability, showmanship and good physical health. Some ideas for new cheers come from other schools. Others are the result of their own ingenuity. Leading fan enthusiasm at all varsity football and basket- ball games are: Pat Dolan, Cheryl Carter, Vicki Bliss, Barb Carter, Pat Choudoir, Colleen Tyler, Jeanne Brown. JV cheerleaders are Jackie Zahn, Kathy Brandt, Jean Hamill, Joanne Milatzo, and Gina Agostinelli. MRS. WATSON, choral director, adjusts the stole on Art Luebke’s choir robe as Pat Spano, Gary Brown and Pat Choudoir await their turn. The new forest green robes were recently acquired as a result of the chocolate sale this fall. They were worn for the first time at the Christmas Concert, Dec. 22. Nicholson Leads Intramural League The intramural basketball season started out with an impressive 52-24 victory for Nicholson over Thibeau, and it has continued that way for both teams so far this season. Nicholson is undefeated with two games remaining. Thibeau has yet to win with three games remaining. Nicholson may, however, find trouble with his next two games. He plays Luebke and Ullrich, and either one could cause Nichol- son some worries. The standings at present show Nicholson out in front with 5-0 record. Pressing Nicholson for first place is Ullrich with 3-1, and following closely is Meyers with 2-1. Bach and Quick have .500 with 2-2, followed by Luebke, 1-2, Anastasi, 1-4, and Thi- beau, 0-4, Leading the league in individual scoring per game is Jim Nevicosi with 18. He is followed by Nick Paley with 17, Jerry Nicholson 14, Steve Ullrich 13, Jack Anastasi 13, Pat Aldrich 11, Paul Roy 10, and Art Luebke 10.
