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.

March. 1964 Editor Writes About kings Maureen Griffin Students Examine Needs Of International Life Page 3 MR. GEORGE MESSER (second from left) shows a group of sophomore boys the right technique in painting biology tables. Mike Messer (1), Bill Forrest, Mike Peterson and Louis Kluck are only four of a large group of biology students who spent many out-of-school hours sanding and refinishing tables a light green to match the counter area of cupboards recently installed in the biology lab. ARISTA Mailbox Dear Students, Prior to this letter, I sent out questionnaires to a limited number of BCHS alumni for information about class rings that I thought the juniors especially might find helpful. This report was compiled particularly for those who are wondering about the practi- cality of purchasing a ring. From the 130 replies I received, 92 had purchased rings. Out of these 92, 66 still wear them. The remaining 26 gave these various reasons why they didn’t wear them: six were married; several found that the ring interfered in their work, five were too small; two were lost or stolen; and, five have been given to some- one else. Of the 92, 83 persons were happy that they had purchased rings. Of the whole group (92), 39 paid for the ring them- selves, 30 rings were paid for by parents, and 23 were paid for by both the student and the parents. Only seven persons re- ported that “pressure” from classmates influenced their decision. For Your Doteboolc MARCH 16-20 Third quarter exams 18 Bake sale 19 Sophomores Vocation Day 21 Instrumental 22 Tournament Spring Concert - 26-31 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Easter Vacation APRIL 1 School resumes 5 Pancake Breakfast 10 sponsored by the Athletic Association All-school dance 15 sponsored by the Sophomores Bake Sale 17 Library Guild All-school dance sponsored by the Juniors Of the 38 who did not buy class rings, only seven felt regret. The reasons these 7 gave were: the ring seemed to make them a real part of the school and they liked the ring itself. The remaining 31 ex- pressed no regret because: 1-they already had a good ring to wear, 2-the ring was one luxury that can be done without, or 3-simply because they felt it was unnecessary. It might be noted that those who regret not buying a ring are members of the present graduating class. So, the opinions of the BCHS alumni have been aired on the subject of class rings. The information is here for your benefit - if you view it objectively, your decision might be easier to make. Beloit Catholic high school students attended an inter- national study day at Boy lan Central Catholic high school, Rockford, 111., Sunday, Feb. 9. Arriving at 9 a.m., students registered and received name cards. At 9:30 they heard a welcome from Sister Beatrice, the principal of Boylan. Father William McMahon, in a talk on “The Christian and International Life”, gave four points which apply to the world situation. CONSCIENTIA- TION, he said, means a con- sciousness of what is going on around us. DEMASSIFI- CATION will help to overcome the effects of mass production and mass culture and get back to the concept that all human beings are composed of body and soul. PLANIF1CATION is needed to plan the things all must do to help others. Finally there must be a revo- lution to make a commitment on Christian principles. After the general session students could choose the panels they wished to attend — one in the morning and two in the afternoon. Topics for these meetings were Pavla (Papal Volunteers for Latin America), South America, Africa, India China, Greece, Indonesia and Korea. At each session the panel leader told of his country and some of its problems. Some urged help by prayer and monetary gifts and added that many volunteer workers are needed in these countries. A movie on the Peace Corps was followed by the celebration of Mass at 12:30 p.m. The real meaning of the offertory of the Mass was brought out by a kind of procession in which each participant in the Mass went to the communion rail to drop his offering into a basket and to place an altar bread for Holy Communion into the ciborium. After Mass an international sm or gas board was served in the cafeteria. The day closed with an international variety show. TO THE EDITOR: I wish to thank each and everyone who made my reign as Queen of the Mardi Gras a day I will never forget. It was a day I will never forget.
