Page 8 February, 1964 SC Writes DEAR STUDENTS: All of us have pride in the student attitude which is found in our school. The attitudes in classroom courtesy and in the various clubs, are good and are continuing to improve. The most notable advance has been in the cafeteria. There is still more to be done, but the students are to be commended for their efforts this year. Keep it up, PLEASE! Many people have commented on the tremendous good sports- manship shown by our athletic teams (most recently at the Durand Tournament). We are all proud of and grateful to the teams and spectators who uphold the standards of BCHS. Recently several student council members have heard severe criticisms about the lack of council action in school interest. For the next few weeks the council is acting for better student attitudes at school. You are asked to cooperate in helping the Student Council fulfill its purpose (to create a better school and student-body through first-rate student-faculty relationships). Continuing the emphasis on student-faculty relationships, we ask for your cooperation in the following: “Good morning, Sister. ' “Good morning. “Excuse me, you go first, Father. “There now, was that so hard on your early morning dis- position? Although we all know the simple manners which go along with courtesy, we sometimes forget them in the rush of traffic. Each small incident, (holding the door and stepping aside for a faculty member, excusing yourself after running into someone, faculty or student) which is forgotten adds up to a bad situation. Unless this matter is brought to our attention}it is forgotten. But, would you crash into Christ and then turn down the hall without ex- cusing yourself or helping Him pick up His things? Not only greetings to fellow-students and faculty but also orderly hall traffic are a part of good hall courtesy. This includes between classes and the traffic to and from assemblies and Mass. “But, Sister, 1 don’t know how to do it Would you please help me? Faculty members are ALWAYS ready to offer scholastic help. Their remark in this area is “If students would only use the opportunity! Please remember the reason for this letter. A whole is only as good as its parts. We often hear someone say, “I can’t do it alone. We are not asking you to try it alone; however, if individuals try to help each other and practice the small things each day, the whole will be greatly improved. The Student Council isn't able to do this alone, we NEED your co- operation! !!! In the past, requests by the STUDENT COUNCIL have been met by the student body, and we are confident that this one will not go unanswered. Shopping AD-Vantages Ad Going to Paris, London or Crete?

March. 1964 Page 2 on Borrowed How often do we hear these words: “I haven’t got time or That takes too much time. ? If we are honest with ourselves, we have to admit that we hear, as well as soy these phrases many times during the course of a day. But, do we really know what we are saying? We speak of “time as if it belonged to us and were ours to use as we choose. This idea is false. We are living, in a sense, on borrowed time. Christ in His mercy gave us a lifetime; can’t we give back a portion of it to Him? Now that it’s Lent, we should stop to realize that this is a perfect opportunity for us to start sharing our bor- rowed time” with the One from whom we received it. How many of us will take a few minutes out of each day to do some sacrifice during Lent? Why not try going to Mass every day ... all it takes is time ... and time doesn't truly belong to us in the first place. Mary Jo Kutter Basket-Paper New Sport at BCHS? I must congratulate our boys on introducing a new sport to our school! That is -- Basket Paper. The game is played when the teacher is out of the room. Some of the more intellectual students team up and see if they can throw a wad of paper info the basket. If they miss they take another piece of paper and throw again. The contestants must leave all the paper which has missed the basket on the floor so that the teacher can pick it up. The game is played as long as the teacner is out of the room. When he returns, the students sit up straight and pretend, to study. The qualifications to be a player in this game are that you must be skillfull, quick, accurate and have the men- tality of a first grader. Now that the basketball season has come to a close, it is an appropriate time to commend those who made it a successful one. Long hours hove been put i n by the team to make them- selves something we are proud of. The team can see the students' true spirit especially at such times as the breathtaking Edgewood game. However, something should perhaps be done to make up for the hoarse voices of the cheerleaders after games. They have done a good job and have led us well in supporting our team. Students who deserve much recognition and get very little are the boys who in their free time volunteer to assemble and take down the bleachers in the gym. Credit also must be given to the parents who supported the team by their appearance and cheering. One act of the fans that we can be proud of is the si- lence and respect that is given to the basketball player at the free throw line. All these things have helped to make it a good season.
