The BCHS Varsity moved closer to the .500 mark with an easy 68-29 victory over Beloit Turner at the Turner gym Friday, Jan. 29. The Crusaders gave an indication of what was in store for the Trojans with a 18-8 first quarter bulge. This lead increased to 20 at half- time. Third quarter the score was a whopping 51-19 when Coach Melvin sent in the reserves to finish the job. Four Crusaders hit double figures. Mike Mowers led the group with 16; Don Smiley 13; Pete Piazza 12; and Lorry Scott 10. The following night Hone- negah extended their mastery over Beloit Catholic with a 65-54 victory. The loss was the sixth for the Crusaders in ten conference outings and the third straight at the hands of the Indians. Hqnonegah’s accuracy from the free throw line made the difference as Beloit canned only 14 to the Indian’s 21. Cold shooting and poor re- bounding added to the woes of the Beloit quint.

The game was won through forfeit, since the DeKalb team couldn’t make it because of the weather. The forfeit of DeKalb moved the freshmen from BCH up against Rockford Auburn in the afternoon game. It was the fine job on the boards done by Jim Cousin and Lee Scott and a great defensive effort that won the game for Beloit. At half-time it was Auburn on top of a 22-16 score. A hard fought third quarter won the game for the Crusader frosh. They scored 14 points to 3 for Auburn. The final buzzer saw the Crusader frosh over Auburn 38-33. Jim Cousin took the indi- vidual scoring honors with 16 points and Lee Scott fol- lowed up with 11 points. On Jan. 30, because of their win the previous weekend, our freshmen had advanced to the semi-finals game in which they were paired against Rockford Boylan, the only team that had beaten them so far in regular season play. A fine comeback in the fourth quarter just wasn't enough to overcome the lead that Boylan had. The Crusader frosh were out-scored in three quarters, 18-12, 17-12, and 15-6 respectively. The final score showed Boylan on top of a 60-48 game. This loss brought the Cru- sader frosh to the finals against Gilford, both trying for third place. The boys from Beloit immediately started out on the wrong foot, but they VoUR GwFATSHlfcT WeADQeAHTEftS I VINCE'S overcame this bad start and the final buzzer saw the BCH freshmen down Gilford 41-38 This game was won from the free throw line with the boys from Beloit scoring 15 out of 21 from the charity line to 4 out of 11 for Gilford. The individual scoring honors went to Chuck Lundgren of Gilford with 16 points. For the victors it was Jim Cousin with 12 points, and Kemil Basmagy, Lee Scott, and Dick Johnson each with 9 points. It was a happy Crusader freshman team as the final buzzer blew, and rightfully so, for they had done a lot of hard work for this moment.

February, 1965 Brotherhood A Reality For Refugee Family Only the weak of character loves his own being: the strong- willed carries all nations within his heart - this it seems to me is the meaning of brotherhood. There are those who can give more, others not as much, but everyone in his own personal way is able to give and to help those he meets in his daily life. There are a number of specific events in my life that have made me realize more and more what brotherhood is. It began on that unforgettable day when we escaped from Hungary, three months after the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, and crossed the Austrian border to long-hoped-for safety and freedom. Willing to leave behind everything we ever had, we faced the world hope- fully, but wondering what was going to happen. There were four of us, Mom, Dad, my eight-year-old sister, and I. We were placed in refugee camps, where help was very much needed by all and most generously given. Both inside and outside the camp, I had to accept the situations, conditions and surroundings as they were and be ever grateful for them. Being a stranger in a new land, I tried to adjust to this new way of life of the Austrian people, which was so different from my own. In school, I became familiar with their customs, their manners and above all the German language. It was not easy to be unable to talk to anyone for no one understood me, everyone was a stranger and my parents were not present to comfort me. I had to forget about myself and my language, and try to learn their language, at first through signs and actions showing that I wanted their friendship and company. Sometimes a smile was all that was required, to show that they were my friends. I also had “foster parents” in England, who paid for my tuition and board without ever seeing or hearing about me Wasn’t this also brotherhood? During the summer vacation we refugee children were received into English families. None of these families were rich in any way, yet they took us in as one of their very own. Again we didn’t speak their language and they didn’t know ours, but this didn’t seem to matter. Two months later we went back to Austria. We had come to England empty-handed and they sent us back warmed, clothed, and loved. Not long aftor this we immigrated to Montreal, Canada. I be- came acquainted with another kind of people and another way of life Since I had to learn the English and French, required in Quebec I had to accept being put among first-graders and being regarded as one of them, even thougi I was now eleven, for I had to start at the very beginning. I had to accept the fact that every- one else looked at me, for I was different from them, but I was the same human person as any of them. Just a year ago, we came to the United States. This wasn’t such a great change, but still there were differences that had to be encountered. I am looking forward to becoming a citizen of the United States of America. Everyday I want to be more and more like an American teenager, proud to be able to study the history of this great country, and swear allegiance to the flag, but at the same time I must remain loyal to my Hungarian traditions and be proud of its history and its flag. Up to this time, I have been the one receiving, but now it is my turn to help others, through giving my friendship, and recogniz- ing that all persons are the same no matter what their external conditions may be. This is the brotherhood which will bring man closer to man and nation closer to nation. Martha Takacs Page 5 What Is Brotherhood? What is brotherhood? Most people would give the answer: Being nice to your neighbor and those of another race or religion. Yes, it is this, but much more. They say that charity begins at home. So does brother- hood. Brotherhood, according to the dictionary, means persons joined as brothers; association of men with some common aim, characteristics, beliefs, or professions.’ .characteristics, beliefs, or professions. School is a profession, believe it or not, and for most of us it is home about seven hours a day. Yet, do we actually practice brotherhood in school? Brotherhood can be prac- ticed by simply saying good-morning to a fellow student or smiling at him. If a student drops a book, and another picks it up, this is brotherhood. When he helps another to understand a difficult problem, he is practicing brotherhood. There are many other ways of practicing brotherhood than just celebrating Brotherhood Week annually. Angela Brown Here And There Plans are being made by the Future Nurses Club to establish a scholarship fund in memory of the late Mary Krause (’60). Senior members of the Future Nurses Club would be eligible for the $100 grant to be used to further their education in nursing or associated fields. ♦ Welcome home. Sister Febronia!

After being defeated at the hands of Boylan, in the second game of the season, the ’Sader freshmen started winning and haven't stopped yet. In their latest outing, Jan. 28 at Evansville, the Crusader frosh posted a 63-34 win. Lee Scott led the team with 18 points and contributed heavily on the boards. Dick Johnson added another 13 points, and together they paced the Crusaders. The boys just couldn't cash in from the charity line, making only 3 out of 12. with 12 points.

In their second game at Milton on Jan. 20, the Crusader frosh showed one of their best defensive efforts of the year. They set out to stop Paul Scholl, who, in a previous game at BCHS had scored 27 points.

Beloit Catholic High is proud to uphold this ancient tradition. The spoils are now on dis- play in the trophy case and come to our hollowed halls as o token from the van- quished SHARK conference football teams of 1964. Beloit Catholic has a right to be proud of this trophy. Rated as o possible 4th or 5th place in con- ference contention by both sports writers and coaches, BCHS was not to be con- sidered in her first year of conference play. However, the underdog pulled it off again and rolled up a 6-0 conference record by rolling over all competitors in sequence. October marked the start of conference ploy after a loss and a tie in outside competition. That day the 'Saders taught the Hononegah Indians a new war dance by scalping them. By the end of the next two weeks BCHS had stepped on the toes of North Boone and Marengo. The next conference action showed Catholic High on the road, first at South Beloit, whom they dumped, then moving to Winnebago to do a little stomping. The final game of the season was at Harvard for the- conference championship. Peter Piazza proved that their efforts were successful. Jim Cousin led the Cru- sader frosh with 20 points and also did a fine job on the boards. Lee Scott followed up Peter St. Peter
