Mechanical Drawing No Snap Course Here And Wednesday night, October 21, is the date of the Junior- Senior College Night. Student preferences have determined the colleges which have been invited to send representatives. Meetings in small dis-. cussion groups are planned to give the individual students an opportunity to ask questions about the colleges. Colleges, universities, business schools, and nursing schools will provide booklets and pamphlets explaining what fields they offer, available financial help, and application pro- ceedures. The representatives are there to help you in making your choice, the choice best for you. £ Hava you noticed the major- ettes at our football games and parades lately? This year the girls are wearing new gold There Have you witnessed the mournful complaints and groans coming from the band room? It seems very recently chorus band members have been forced to sit in their new blue chairs. What is so painful about that? Ask any band or chorus member. Could it be they are not used to sitting up so straight? But haven’t the sounds ringing from there been improving? Evidently, posture does have something to do with the quality of singing and playing an instrument. outfits and white gloves. Their routines include baton twirling and dancing. Jackie Zahn and Mr. Farina have been working on the formation of a majorette club. Anyone interested in becoming a majorette or a color guard is welcome to join. What is mechanical draw ing? Is it just a course in drawing? Is it architecture or mapping? Exactly what is it? Briefly, mechanical draw- ing is simply the describing of objects through pictorial drawings commonly known as mechanical drawings. Sister M. Cletus teaches the two year course offered at BCHS. Daily schedule con- sists of working on or com- pleting one’s particular drawings. Details are ex- plained as Sister Cletus helps the class. Studying is limited to tests and the particular draw- ing that students may have. The first meeting of the Home and School Association will be Thursday, Oct. 27. The agenda will include a panel on “Opportunities for Spiritual Development in the School.” Yet, it is not what might be called a “snap course” The main objective of this course is to give experience in and a knowledge of terms, tools, and skills involved in mechanical engineering. It is, also, a good college pre- paratory course and is -recom- mended for basic knowledge in this field. Mechanical drawing is used ia jmany branches of man- ufacture and construction Ihorough knowledge of it is needed for advancement and success in the field of mech- anical engineering. “Autumn In Beloit” was «the topic of discussion in second year French one morn- ing. A certain sophomore girl described it as “..the time of year when the ‘armchairs’ fall from the trees.” Could it have been a fault in translation?

Page 4 October, 1964 Pros And Cons Cont • fro n page 2 taxes and tax reductions. Johnson has already pushed through Congress the tax-cut bill, a major achievement in itself, and he even speaks of lowering the income taxes. Turning to Barry, we find him clamoring tor a 5% decrease in income tax payments for the next five years - and what did he do six months ago? He voted against the tax-cut bill - he did. If this is consistency, heaven help us! As the Vice-presidential campaign reaches a climax, it seems Hubert Humphrey is by far the better man, in both his domestic and foreign issues and his twelve years of experience in Washington circles. William Miller is con- tinually criticizing, stabbing at everyone and anyone. As yet, this is his manner - criticism and not one iota of con- structive ideas for the Americans. On the Tonkin incident, one which Johnson has handled with extreme care, the Republicans stack their chips. The Senator from Arizona speaks of smashing the Communists Reds back to Peiping - that it may cause World War III is of no immediate concern to him. In the above paragraphs, we possess the something tangible, words that explain the controversial subjects. Lyndon Johnson has not only words, but also action and successes in these actions, to secure his beliefs and ideals. Then we have Mr. Goldwater. He has words also, but they are either too opaque or too dangerous to take to heart. Therefore I say, return the best man on November 3, 1964. I say, return peace, prosperity, and unity to our society. I say, let us continue - let us win with the next. President of the United States, Lyndon Johnson! Nick Paley FI £Vo7vr J!$f SC Begins Year With New Spirit The beginning of a new school year means the beginning of an all new Student Council. This year the Student Council hopes to do an even better job than last year. This requires an all out effort from the student body. With a good attitude and a lot of school spirit the Student Council can accomplish many things for the betterment of the school. The students themselves elect the homeroom representatives to work in their behalf in the Student Council and to report back on its activities. Homeroom representatives this year are: Seniors - Joe Ber- geson, Marcia Evenson, and Alan Kobus; Juniors - Terry Piazza, John Good, andSandy Schultz; and Sophomores - Karen Zimbrich, Ann George and Marjorie Meyers. Officers for the 1964-65 Student Council are Art Kapitanoff, president; Ray Cipra, vice president; Jeanne Brown, secretary; and Kathy Murphy, treasurer. The Student Council includes also the presidents of all school organizations. foreign policy and disarmament. Its author is Walt W. Ros- tow, chairman of the Policy Planning Board of the Depart- ment of State. It states that Communism is mellowing , that we should forget about our first strike weapons. An- other item in it states that we should not seek victory over Communism and that we should force free governments into coalitions, (e.g.), the debate in Laos. I m also sure you would like to know that the report calls for a systematic publicity campaign to sell Congress and the American, people on disarmament. This report has become the official Johnson administration policy. But I have saved the oest for tne last. This is the Phoe- nix Report authored by the U.S. Arms Control and Dis- armament Agency. It abondons all the old objectives against Communism in favor of interdependence between the United States and the Soviet Union. It calls for a parity of military forces with the Soviet Union. It also states that the Pres- ident should trick the American people by a tax cut which would necessitate a decrease in spending for defence and thus force us into unilateral disarmament. After all this, what really shocked me was that it said we should consider unification’ of the U.S. and the USSR! The Johnson Administration is putting these policies into effect right now. I am certain that if the American people get the facts about Johnson he will be defeated and our democracy will be saved. In fact, Nov. 3, 1964 may even be known in years to come as a Second Day of Independence. It will be the day Barry Goldwater will have been elected to the Presidency! John McLaughlin

A day in which the freshmen tried to become better ac- quainted with the upperclass- men. The day began with the hurrying of the freshmen to obtain signatures from the upperclassmen. These sig- natures could be obtained between classes, at beginning of each study hall and in the cafeteria. At the Student Council sponsored party that evening various games were played. One of them tested skill in relaying a life-saver on a toothpick. Another could be called “Pop the Balloon. Teresa Heatherly, the freshman who had collected the most upperclassmen signatures, received a Beatles album as her prize. Torry Heatherly receives a Beatle album from Student Council president Art Kapitan- off. Terry earned her prize for collecting the highest number of signatures from upperclass- men on “Howdy Day.

A LETT During the summer senior Anna Marie Clothier moved to Torino, Italy, with her family because her father received a transfer. Recently she wrote to Father Pierick telling of her life there. A school calendar which she enclosed indicates that the year at the American School of Torino lasts from Sept. 14 to June 20 and is divided into three semesters. Holidays, besides Christmas and Easter vacations, are Italian National Unification Day, Nov. 4; Immaculate Conception, Dec. 8; St. Joseph Day, Mar. 19; and Italian Republic Day, June 2. Hero is hor letter: Dear Father Pierick, I just wanted to drop you a few lines to tell you how much we love Italy. It is really beautiful here. We have lived in hotels for about a month and it seemed good to get into a home. We have a beautiful apartment, and from the balconies you can see the Alps if it is a clear day. The weather has been perfect every day so far.,.. ogy at St. Francis Seminary in Milwaukee. When Bishop O'Connor requested Father to teach at BCHS, he willingly accepted. He is relieving Father Lena- han of one American problems class and Sister Gregory of two classes. 1 saw the school in Torino and decided to go there instead of Switzerland. It is not a Catholic school, but the American School has rented a portion of an old convent. In this convent the sisters care for World War II orphans, all girls. The atmosphere is there even though it is not a Catholic school. The day we visited we could hear chanting in the chapel. They have a chapel, so we can go to Mass during the week. There were also beautiful shrines to Mary in the courtyard. Mary, Collaen and I will be chauffeured to school, so there will be no more long bus rides like last year... . . Say hello to Mrs. Tyler, the priests, sisters and all the kids. It is hard to write to everyone, but I wanted to let you all know how much we love it here..... My address is 57 Corso Peschiera, Torino, Italy In case anyone wants to write. As ever, Anna Marie
