November, 1964 Landslide for Lyndon; Barry 2nd Seniors Hold Mock Election Page 3 A londsid of votes for Johnson was the result of the election poll sponsored by the Press Club. Johnson held 79% of the 296 votes cast He had 234 votes, while Goldwater totaled only 40. Alfred E. Neuman totaled 15 votes while others inclu- ding Ringo Starr, totaled 7 votes. Although all students were qualified to vote, 184 or 38.3% did not do so. Ballots were distributed with the October issue of the paper. John Good Active Pep Club Promotes Spirit Although the Pep club has only one or two meeting? a year, it is perhaps one of the most active clubs in the school. The club is composed of representatives from each homeroom and the cheerleaders. Its goal is to encourage and promote student enthusiasm and participation in sports activities. Officers, elected at the first meeting, are: Jeff Fuhr- man, president; Tom Carney, vice president; Barb Carter, secretary, and Pat Fitz- Gerald, treasurer. BCHS Seniors held a mock election Nov. 3 to stir up student interest in politics. They voted for the President and Vice President, as well as for state and local officials. The first step in organizing the mock election was the setting up of the Republican and Democratic parties. Chair- men selected for the parties were responsible for getting information distributed to the students and for sparking enthusiasm for the election. To voto, students had to be registered by Wednesday, Oct. 21. Of 120 seniors, 98 regist- ered and voted. Jack Pohl, acting as clerk, assisted students to register. Election results were strictly Democratic. Johnson received 69 votes and Gold- water received 27. State and local offices were also car- ried by the Democrats.

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.

Page 4 November, 1964 Here andThere Tuesday, Oct. 27, was the night of the first Home and School meeting. Margaret Fitz- gerald and Peter Obligato took part in a discussion of “The students reaction to religion in school and home life.” Both parents and teach- ers agreed that they profited from the talks. Have you noticed the en- thusiastic spirit hanging on the halls of BCHS? The Pep club members have earned recognition for their posters urging attendance at the foot- ball games. They have really helped to increase school spirit for the majority of the students. ♦ All studonts interested in any field of medicine are invited to attend the Future Nurses club. The name of the club need not mislead you. Once a month, a guest speaker talks to the members on such aspects of medicine as phar macy, technology, physical therapy, radiology, social work, and laboratory research. A potluck dinner for club members is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 19, at 6:30 in the cafeteria. The purpose of this gather- ing is to welcome new members of the Future Nurses club. As their main project this year the Sodality has intro- duced the Perpetual Rosary into BCHS. This is how it works: All students interested in participating in this devotion have an opportunity to sign up for the day and the time that fits in with their schedule. All those who participate help in promoting the recitation of the rosary by one or two students at a time during the entire school day from 8:20 until 3:00. ♦ Secretaries Sponsor Graveyard Hop Prixe winners at the “Graveyard Hop” were Chuck Molay, most original; Le Roy Stoltz, winner of the door prize; Nsmcy Buchko, funniest costume; Joe Bergeson, ugliest; and Judy Good, most elaborate. Tomorrow’s Secretary club sponsored the hop Oct. 24 in the gym. Students were not admitted without costumes. Judges for costumes included Sr. Aietta, Fr. Fagan, Mrs. Collins, and Mr. Don Evenson. In charge of the dance preparations were club officers Pat Fleck, president; Grace Walker, vice president and treasurer; and Mary Synowski, secretary. Sister M. Febronia is club moderator. be; ..

Don’t be Coo-Coo, O When the time is right Go to BRILLS! e e e e Seniors Face ollege Exams Seniors hoping to enter col- lege are now faced with the problem of college entrance exams. Two main exams, the American College Testing (ACT) Program and the Col- lege Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) test, are offered to the students. A student entering college must find out which test his college requires for admission. The ACT consists of four smaller timed tests in English, mathematics, social studies, and the natural studies. The ACT is a four hour test. It can be taken at Beloit College or. November 7, 1964 and April 24. 1965. The CEEB is a combination of three tests, the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), the Achievement tests, and the Writing sample. Most col- leges require only SAT which is a three hour test including verbal and mathematical sections. Some colleges also require the Achievement test, a one- hour test given in the afternoon of the test day, and the Writing Sample, a one hour essay on an assigned topic. The CEEB can be taken at Beloit College on December 5, 1964 or May 1, 196$. Joe Cousin Students are asked to save Betty Crocker coupons for the Senior class. Their goal is set at 5,000 coupons this year. In past years classes have earned such items as tables, punchbowls, and tablecloths by collecting these coupons, eve Though their year has just begun - Seniors are being fitted for their graduation gowns.
