Home-School Association Aims At Better Education “Do you plan to buy a class ring or pin in your junior year?” This was the question asked of many fresh- men, sophomores, and juniors recently. Most of the students seemed sincere with their reply although one freshman girl stated, “the only ring 1 want is Ringo!” Out of the sixteen fresh- men replies, eleven were from girls and four were from boys. All said that they de- sired rings mainly as a memoir of their high school years at BCHS. Three freshmen think that having class rings shows their school spirit. The thirty sophomores questioned consisted of fourteen boys and sixteen girls. The sophomores also felt that a ring was something to remember their school by. Only three said that they would not buy a ring or pin. Three were undecided. Other reasons sophomores gave for wanting rings were that the rings “look nice , and they like rings. One sophomore says, “to have it in my mind that I made it through high school.” A sophomore boy and a freshman boy facetiously remarked that a ring would be something “to give my girl”. Of the twenty-five juniors surveyed nineteen said they have ordered rings while six did not order them. Juniors also indicated their opinions of the rings. Eighteen of the juniors liked the rings. One said, “they are unique in style”. Seven were not completely satisfied. They gave as rea- sons: the rings are too costly, they didn’t care for the design, they preferred not having a standard design for our school. Kevin Lauer Sees Essay Published Kevin Lauer, freshman, has received word his essay “Civil War Centennial” will be published in the Voice of Youth Column” of the Chicago Tribune sometime in April.

Largely responsible for setting up the association was Sister M. Remigia, CSA, principal at that time. The Home-School associa- tion has as its main objectives to work for the advancement of Christian education in both home and school, as well as to bring parents and teachers to a better understanding of the mutual spiritual, social and educational forces of home and school. There are four general meetings a year at which programs of special interest to parents are presented. These programs may consist of a talk by an expert in the area of education or of adolescent problems, or it may be a panel discussion involving parents, teachers and students. Some- times school policies or cur- ricular and extracurricular activities will be explained in detail. The program part of the general meeting is preceded by a business meeting with re- ports and discussion of general business of the association. On these nights, also, parents are invited to visit classrooms before the meeting for short conferences with teachers. The Home-School associa- tion also sponsors several parent-teachers meetings on a class level. These are devoted to discussion of the problems common to the students of a particular class. There are four board meet- ings each year at which the officers. Father Pierick and Sister Aletta consider the general business of the as- sociation and plan the program for the next general meeting. Each year the Home-School association sponsors at least one big project. For the last three years this project has been the Mardi Gras festival. Proceeds are turned over to the school to assist in meeting operational costs. Officers of the association for the 1963-64 school year are Mr. T. F. Harrington, president; Mr. Wayne Kizer, vice president; Mrs. David Nuciforo, secretary; and Mrs. Dwight Brown, treasurer.
