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.

February, 1964 PETE SCHULER and GARY BROWN admire the runner-up trophy BCHS cagers won at the Durand tournament during the Christmas holidays. Varsity Runnerup In Holiday Tourney Page 7 Crusaders Split Weekend, Then Lose To Woodstock The boys from Beloit brought home the bacon as they captured second place in the Durand Holiday basketball tournament. On Monday Dec. 23, the Crusaders ran wild as they chalked up 99 points in a runaway game against Dakota. All ten of the Crusaders that suited up for the game con- tributed in the scoring. The final score was 99 to 48, with Mike Hahn, the leading scorer, dumping in 23 points. The victory guaranteed Beloit’s participation in the semi- finals in the tourney Friday night, Dec. 27. The ’Saders next faced Stockton, and won by a margin of 79-60. The Crusaders put their full court press to good use as they steadily increased their lead. Mike Hahn was again top point producer, scoring 21 points. This earned the Beloit boys a berth in the finals on Saturday against pre-toumey favorite Hononegah. The Crusaders found it rough going in dropping a 52 to 44 decision to the taller Indians. Don Smiley earned 14 points for Beloit. Although losing the last game the ’Saders claimed much respect during the tournament. One comment reported was that if an award for sportsmanship had been given, the Crusaders would have won hands down. CK Beloit Catholic played host to Boylan on Friday, January 10 and traveled to Freeport the next night Utilizing their zone press on the home floor, the ’Saders ran Boylan down early and ran up a first quarter lead of 10 points. Half time showed it 36-25 ’Saders. The third and fourth quarters revealed the ’Saders pulling steadily away until the buzzer ended things at 71-48. Mike Hahn was the high scorer with 29 points. Don Smiley, Tom Faralli, Larry Scott, and Mike Mowers had 12, 9, 8, and 7 respectively. The next night Beloit Catholic traveled to Freeport to take on Aquin, but some of the previous night’s spark was gone. The Bulldogs took a 16-12 lead at the first quarter. Things looked a little better at half-time when this lead was cut to one, 34-33. A slow third period on the ’Saders part, however, put Aquin in front to stay, 50-41. Scoring in the final period broke even with both teams posting 19 tallies and the game ended 69-60. This defeat was Beloit Catholic’s fifth in 12 starts. High point man in the Aquin game was Isaacs (Aquin) with 28. Larry Scott was one point behind for his season high of 27. The only other ’Sader in double figures was Hahn with 19. On the following Thursday, Jan. 16, the ’Saders moved to Woodstock with hopes of avenging the loss suffered in the last 30 seconds of Marian’s homecoming game. However, Beloit Catholic couldn’t find the light and trailed 16-11 after the first 8 minutes. The second quarter showed Marian using stall tactics. Only two points were scored in this period and they be- longed to the Purple Hur- ricanes. The second half moved faster but the ’Saders »till couldn't grab the needed scoring edge and had to settle for a 59-49 loss. Game honors went to Mar- ian’s Dan Nitz with 22, and Tim Murphy with 14. Larry Scott and John Pohl took honors for the ’Saders with 12 each, while Mike Hahn hit for 10. Sports Slants When Gary Brown ran into the south wall of the gym in the Boylan game, Coach jumped to his feet and watched closely. Gary got up, looking... he was worried about the wall. Thanks to all who made the Lettermen’s dance a big success....especially the team for the victory. Congratulations to the Crusaders’ basketball team for setting a new one game high point total, by scoring 99 points against Dakota in the Durand tournament. One Win,Two Losses For JY In January Crusader JV resumed play after the holidays by hosting Boylan of Rockford. Showing good ball control the BCHmen gained a 42-35 triumph over the Titans. Dave Luebke paced the JV’s with 13 points, while John Tauschek added 11 and Pete Piazza 9. In their next encounter the the JV’s were outpointed 46-30 by Aquin. The cagers had a cold first half, scoring only 11 points to Aquin’s 23 and could never recover. John Winger led the Crusaders with 12 points while Aquins’ Joyce and McCool had 15 each. BA CRUSADERS!
