Mr. Melvin is again head coach and will work with a nucleus of last year's returning letter- men. Track Team Hopes For Winning Season The relatively new BCHS track team has new hopes this year with a fine turn out of 44 boys, 12 of whom are lettennen. Entering the SHARK con- ference, Mr. Bamabo would like to leave a lasting impres- sion. His hopes are based on consistent point winners Pat Aldrich, hurdles, Bill Knipp, 440, Pete Von Kampen, 880, Jim Davi», mile, and Gary Brown in field events. Bill Knipp will receive help from returning letterman Al Muetx and new comers Bill Dooley and Vic Morkle. Pete Van Kampen, Ron Goessel and Bernie Zickert, are the backbone of the 880, while Jim Davis and Kevin Lauer round out the miles. Experienced at field events are Gory Brown, John Gregory, Joe Bergeson, Mike Mowers, and Mike Peterson. For Tourney Berth Mike Hahn will be the pitching fort and will be backed up by Jim Boho, John Winger, and Jon Toubl. Either Art Kapitonoff or Pete Schuler will hold things down behind the plate while the other is in the outfield. The rest of the infield will be handled by Lorry Scott, Jock Anastasi, Don Smiley, and John Winger. Outfielders are Tom Faralli, Pete Piazza, Dave Luebke, Rick Asplund, and Earl Penewell. New Cheerleader Squad Chosen Tension ran high in the gym on Saint Patrick's Day, for this was the day of the final selection of the 1964- 1965 cheerleader squad. Of the twenty-one girls who tried out, six were chosen for the Var- sity squad and four for the Junior Varsity. New cheerleaders chosen by faculty and student repre- sentatives include juniors Barbara Carter and Pat Chou- doir; sophomores Jean Hamill, Gina Ago6tinelli, Cathy Brandt, and Joanne Milatzo. Varsity subs are Jacki Zahn and Cathy Eichman. The annual Athletic Ban- quet will be held at 6:30 Wednesday, May 6th in the school gym. Guest speaker will be Mr. George Ireland, head basketball coach at Chicago's Loyola university. Since 1957, Mr. Ireland has been associated with the Loyola Ramblers. In 1963 BCH linksmen swing into spring season FORECAST for golf! BCHS golf squad, again under the direction of able Jerry Thomas (who lost by one stroke in a match with Amie Palmer last year), is looking forward to a season of long drives and short putts. Last year's starting five, senior Rick Boch, juniors Jerry Conway, Tom Carney, Nick Poley and sophomore Jim Hudson are being chal- lenged for berths this year by returning Jim West and a dozen other promising hope- fuls. At the end of thirteen scheduled matches, last year's .500 record should be greatly improved, and the boys are looking forward to bettering their 11th place standing of last year in the state meet. Cheer-up! Things could be worse. And so you did and sure enough things did get worse. Junior varsity cheerleaders are freshmen Pat FitzGerald, Pat Wolf, Nancy Belvedere and Linda Tyler. Subing for them will be Suzanne Conroy, Sue Ryan, Cathy Schuler, and Karen Zimbrick. he led them to the N.C.A.A. championship. He is a Wis- consin man. When he attended Campion Academy in Prairie Du Chien, the team he played on won three state champion- ships. At Notre Dame he was named All-American player. Following his graduation, he coached basketball at Campion Academy until joining Loyola University staff. Awards will be made at the banquet to outstanding play- ers. These include a Sports- manship Award, presented by Krugpr Sports Shop; Athletic and Academic Achievement Awards, presented by Hirth's Leather Goods; and an Athletic Achievement Award, presented by Beloit Catholic High Ath- letic Association. Freshmen players will receive numerals while upper classmen will be awarded letters. Cheerleaders will receive either numerals, let- ters, or pins depending on their length of service. Tennis To Begin With Boylan Match With the largest turnout of players he has had since coaching tennis, Mr. Mauel took on Boylan, April 10, for the first match of the season. The team carries only two of last year's lettermen, senior Joe Bua and junior Bill Hoc- kett. Otherwise it consists mainly of freshmen and sopho- mores. The squad depends on Hockett and Bua, and ex- perienced freshmen Frank Polizzi and Tom Wright for a strong nucleus. Around these four, the less experienced will be built. Although hoping for the best, Mr. Mauel expects this season to be more important as a ground to gain experience for his young team.

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. Kevin and his English teacher. Sister Agnes Clare, will be guests at a Voice of youth banquet at McCormick Place, Chicago in May. Kevin is a member of the track team and also of the cast of “King Lear.” Beloit Catholic high school Home-School association was organized in 1954, just one year after the founding of the school. 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. GREETING VOCATION DAY SPEAKERS are Joe Clark (left) and Dick Ashton (far right). Speaking to the busy boys were Father Thomas Doheny of Holy Name seminary, Milwaukee, Father Dennis Coyle, assistant pastor of SL John Vianney parish, Janesville and Father Joseph P. Higgins, Vocations Director of the Madison diocese.

PETER SCHULER shows Fa- ther Pierick the plaque he received as part of the Monsignor O'Reilly Award. Peter was cho- sen by his classmates to receive this honor based on scholarship, practical Catholicism, school spirit and per- sonal appearance. Correcting Papers Not All Monotony Correcting papers is not always pure drudgery for teachers. Sometimes the answers they receive are quite humorous. For example. Sister Agnes Clare received the following definitions from a freshman: Organist - one who plays the organ. Tigress - one who plays the tigre. Sister Ronalda recently discovered that the Beatles belong to the order Coleoptera. Two juniors gave Father Lenahan the following des- criptions of their homes: “My home is my castle. It has seen many things come and go; mostly us kids.’ “Our lawn is neat; our kitchen is neat; our living room is neat; our ‘reck’ room is neat; but my room - you guessed it - is a mess!” When Mrs. Watson asked where the diaphragm is lo- cated, some bright singer answered, “Somewhere around the throat.’
