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

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?

October, 1964 Zealand. BCHS Welcomes New Sfudent 8CHS has recently welcomed a new student, Bruce Mclnnis of New Zealand. Bruce has had quite a life of traveling. Bom in Baie Comeau, Canada, he lived there for only four years. From there he went to Cleveland, Tenn., where he resided for seven years. Then he took up residence in New Zealand where he and his family re- mained for four years, until they finally took up residence here in Beloit. Fortunatelyr for Bruce, the accepted language of each country has been English. “This is the best school 1 have ever attended,” says Bruce. This feeling may be due to the fact that in New Zealand he attended a boarding school which was staffed by brothers. “They were a little more strict, and lo6t their tempers more frequently,” says Bruce. He also has found the stu- dents to be very friendly. In his own words, “Nothing beats them!” Another fact he brought up and favored was that we fre- quently have school dances, whereas he was accustomed to one dance a year, usually in October. In New Zealand, Bruce, a junior, was assigned a six subject schedule, including Chemistry III, Latin HI, French III, Math III, Religion ID, English III and Physics II. Some of these subjects were taken only twice a week, while others were taken from three to four times. His six subject American schedule includes biology, American history, algebra D, French III, English III and religion III. The Mclnnis family came to Beloit so that Mr. Mclnnis could secure a job offered him at the Beloit Corporation as an engineer. His sister Joan, 18, recently left for Philadelphia to enter college. His brother Brent, 9, is attending St. Thomas school. Bruce hopes to enter the field of engineering upon graduation frqgn Beloit Catholic high school. Thirteen proved to be an unlucky number again. A senior girl was seen sliding down the hall on her knees after a tumble near that room. If you want to know who she is — start looking for some bruised knees Page 7 JV’s Trounce Clinton In 20-7 Opener Junior varsity football season opened Monday, Sept. 28, with a victory over Clinton. This was the first victory for the 64-65 school year and the J.V.'s worked hard to earn it. In the first quarter Mike Badger ran 20 yards for the first touchdown, but the at- tempted run for the extra point proved fruitless. Just before the end of the half, Kemil Basmagy ran three yards for the second touchdown and the extra point was run by John Raster. Later, in the third quarter, John Raster went 12 yards for the third and final touchdown, and with the extra point run by Brian Day, the score was 20-0. Clinton scored in the late part of the last quarter on a 35 yard run, and the extra point was good. The final score showed a 20-7 victory for BCHS. Y Offers Lifesaving Jean Behrman, Mary Carney and Barrie Entringer are attending the Senior Lifesav- ing classes offered at the Beloit YWCA. These classes are open to all senior high school junior and senior girls. A physical education credit and Red Cross Lifesaving certificate will be given to these girls if they successfully complete one semester of work.

Girls participating must possess sufficient swim- ming skill to have passed a preliminary swimming test. YWCA registration or member- ship is not required. ’Saders Drop One; Tie Clinton 7-7 Catholic High has been a rather uncomfortable place for football players the past two weeks. And rightly so. After being stopped 14-7 by Monroe in the season opener, the 'Saders could only hold underdog Clinton to a 7-7 draw. As a result of these showings there has been a noted increase in the running and work done on the practice field and we have it irom an informed source that a better show will be demonstrated with the opening of conference play. In the opener with Monroe, BCHS found itself weak in offensive running plays and in the defensive secondary. Monroe scored twice sit- ting up or scoring both times on key passes. The 'Saders only score was a long aerial from Jim Davis to Don Smiley. The P.A.T. was kicked by Pete Piazza. After a two week pause the 'Saders again played host, this time to Clinton. For the first seven minutes it was “all 'Sader.” On the opening kick-off the Cougars were stopped inside their own twenty. Four plays later BCHS took over possession and drove for the touchdown. The kick was good and it was 7-0 Crusaders. A duplicate drive was in progress till the one yard line where a penalty ended the drive. Team spirit seemed to droop and the final 7-7 score tells the story of the rest of the game.
