BELOIT CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL ftwWtt, Wl»c«asta Vol. 13 No. 3 November, 1964 Fr. Kernston To Give Retreaf Nov. 23-25 Father Edward Kersten, OSA, an experienced Augus- tini an retreat master from Fort Wayne, Ind., conducted the annual student retreat this year. Scheduled for Nov. 23-25, the retreat consisted of three days of talks and conferences by Father Kersten. Mass was said each day in the gym. Ample opportunity for con- fession was given between conferences. To holp students with their meditations, spiritual reading pamphlets had been supplied to the homerooms by the library. Some of the 32 new pam- phlets available were: “On Choosing a Vocation “What Girls Think of Boy's Clothes and “Being Yourself. Students were asked to make the most of these days by keepings strict silence through- out the retreat. Students to Pioneer In New Liturgy Sinco September, Father Pierick has been celebrating First Friday in the gym at an altar facing the congregation. The use of Communion stations instead of the Communion rail was also initiated in September. The first mass in English at BCHS will be celebrated Dec. 4. This is a pioneer effort utilizing the changes approved by the Ecumenical Council. Beloit Catholic is breaking ground for other places and is training students to be com- mentators and lectors. Father Lenarz is working to develop a group of lectors. The progressive program started with Mass facing the people and Communion sta- tions in September. In October a student served as com- mentator. In November, in addition to the other changes, a student lector read the Epistle and Gospel. The congregation will respond in English at the First Friday Mass in Decem- ber. Mass in the chapel may or may not use these changes, depending upon circumstances. Program to Commemorate Late President Kennedy “On Friday, Novembar 22, 1963, three shots rang out under a Texas sun, and the brightest light of our time was snuffed out by a senseless evil. One year later, on Sunday, November 22, 1964, at the Beloit Catholic High school auditorium, the band, chorus, and other students will present a program in commemoration of the death of President Kennedy. Students will give choral readings, selected from the many tributes and eulogies written about him in the past year. Among these will be the eulogy by Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield. This section of the program is being directed by Father Lenahan. The junior-senior chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Watson, will sing “Hospodi Pomilui by G. V. Lvovsky. Mr. Farina will conduct the band in “King John's Over- ture. Nancy Fenrick “The aim of the program is to install complete student participation because this is proper for a Catholic high school where young people are trained to be modern Catholics. The program is designed to prepare the stu- dents to be leaders in the new liturgy, Father Lenarz said. “Students should do some- thing with their experience gained at BCHS. The students can help spread the program in their own parish churches using the instruction given to them.” Father Lenarz has observed that many students are not helping in this matter at all. He thinks that we should regard it as a very great “once in a lifetime’ privilege to participate in such a momentous event as a change in the language of the liturgy of the Church. The last time the Western Church changed the language of its worship was in 604 A.D. - From Greek to Latin. Western students will be among the first to pioneer in this change. Fother Lenorz noted that the church always chooses a moderate rate of change and a moderate use of the changes. Not all the changes to be made in the Mass will be made at once. Necessary changes, however, are being made. The main purpose of the changes is to use the external means as they are intended to be used - to help our interior devotion - or else we will be as Pharisees. Kevin Lauer

November, 1964 Page 2 Girls and Sports? A girl interested in sports? That's ridiculous! Or is it? Although a girl's participation in sports is limited, her interest and enthusiasm should not be. There are those who firmly believe that sports such as football and basketball should be left strictly to the male enthusiast. This group will stare blank-faced at the time clock all night waiting for the game’s end. That may sound a bit unfair and in some respects it is. Some girls do enjoy the morally healthful entertainment that athletics has to offer and will give their all to cheer the team to victory. They are among the group whose belief it is that athletics is a vital part of our school's curriculum. Except for these few supporters, it would be rather frus- trating for the player, who while pounding the gridiron for a touchdown, senses the indifference of a stadium full of spectators whose spirit has vanished. A girl, therefore, should not remain an outsider. It is through her and the whole crowd’s cheers that an attitude of, we're going to win this game , is conveyed to the player and most times that’s what really counts. Cathy Brandt To The Editor... To The Editor The attendance at our games has really grown since our varsity cheerleaders pep them up with their new eye-catching cheers. Their new snappy outfits seem to attract the attention of all the spectators. The Junior varsity cheer- leaders will brighten the entire gym this basketball season with their yellow sweaters and skirts. Let's be there to show them that their faithful prac- tices weren't in vain. Margie Engler TO THE EDITOR: We would both like to ex- press our appreciation to everyone at BCHS, who made our reign over Homecoming 64 a very enjoyable one.

Students saw a slight re- vision in the marking system this year. Present marking policy is: A+ = 99-100, A = 95-98, A- = 93-94, B = 91-92, B = 87-90, B- = 85-86, C + = 83-84, C = 79-82, C- = 77-78, D = 72-74, D- = 70-71, F = below 70. Students polled concerning their anticipation quotient expressed varying ideas. Some students understand the main reason for quarterly report cards. “I think report cards are worth the effort put into them for not only do they inform the student of the quality of his work, but also the parents are informed. —Pat Yanulis. One student seems to be- lieve that report cards are a cause of some mistreatment: I think that if teachers were more conservative on homework and tests, and more liberal with their marks it would make a much bette r looking report card and end much of today's CHILD BRU- TALITY. -Mike Luttig. A few students dread a particular class marking: ‘ 1 am not worried about mine, except for English... —Terry Petit. ...And that advanced math, ugh! —Jock Pohl. I hope that Sr. Gregory will give me the benefit of the doubt. —Steve Bonefede. Either the revised marking system or teacher resistance seems to have made it hard for students to get an easy grade: If you only had about two subjects, you might be able to get an A. —Suzanne Conry. Anyone who gets an A really deserves it.” —Pat Fitzgerald. I think we should be able to get an A more often than we do. —Kathy Rahorn. Because of the possible difference marking levels in BCHS and some other schools students have voiced these opinions: If you were getting C's and D's here at BCHS, you could get B's and C's at Memorial High. —Nancy Hanish. ...Who would get a jt b easier? Thfc students from the lower marking school? —Kan Bach. One consoling thought is given to someone who has a fine and can't receive his report card until it is paid: Terror tingles from my nerve ends. Sweat drips from my brow. My finger nails are bleeding. I can't possibly owe $275 in gum fines. But on the bright side-they probably won't give me my report card for another 100 years. —Ray Fuller. Some agree that grades should not be so important: There is too much em- phasis on the grades a per- son gets. —Karen Zimbrick. A last thought on report cards is given by a junior girl: I think that after I re- ceive my report card, I will be in need of our school retreat... praying for my next report card. —Virginia Daily.
