March, 1965 Page2 Wanted -- Individuals! “Cultural Monism' - what is it? It's wearing a greer. sweater because everyone else is. It’s growing long “Beetle hair styles. It’s everyone trying to be accepted by being like the “crowd. We live in the days of cultural monism. There seem to be so few of us who set the styles and the rest of us follow them. Cultural monism is not really that harmful - just boring - until you consider how it involves the ideas of people. Let’s consider the situation in our own school. One person might not be accepted by a certain group of style setters and the others seem to ignore the person, too. What would happen if we had one or two people to decide everything we think? We wouldn’t like it - but still we blindly let these people decide our wardrobe for the year and out opinions of others. Let’s be the first to start a new “fad” - Let's be in- dividuals! Let’s do our own thinking and leading! Liz Charnon THANKS! New Staff to Take Over April Issue of ARISTA New memoers for ARISTA were announced at the March 10 meeting of the Press Club.

March, 1965 ‘Little OId Liz’ Goes Around the World RABBI LANDAU, guest speaker for the senior class, talked on the necessity and real meaning of brotherhood. Greeting him were Jeff Fuhnnann (left), Fr. John Walsh (right) and Art Kapitanoff, Student Council president. Seniors Hear Rabbi Rabbi N. Landau of the Beloit Congregation B’nai Abraham, spoke to the Senior class Fridiay, February 26, about Judaism, how it differs from the Catholic religion, and his personal background re- lated to it. At the age of five. Rabbi Landau was sent to school, where a great deal of his time was devoted to religion. After attending High school and college, he spent four years in a seminary. His entire family was imprisoned and murdered by the Nazi Germans during World War II. He was liberated by the United States Army and brought to America. At present he lives in Chicago and comes to serve the Beloit Congregation on weekends. Rabbi Landau remarked that while there are certain qualities that distinguish one religion from another, the fundamentals are quite the same. They should teach us to open the doors to our hearts, minds, and souls. These doors should be open widely and on all sides, and not fenced with hate or selfish- ness. He went on to say that if we really know God, we must indicate this by sharing our blessings with others. As a result, we can hope to live in a world of peace and comfort Rabbi Landau touched on several topics concerning the customs of Judaism. At the age of thirteen, a boy is considered mature. He becomes responsible for the 613 Commandments, and enters into the Jewish Congregation through Barmitza, which is something like Con- firmation in the Catholic church. In the Jewish confession, there is no mediator between God and the sinner. The people recite their sins directly to God. If the offenses are veiy serious, the person usually visits the rabbi for penance, Rabbi Landau noted. Judaism agrees with Cathol- icism on several religious issues that confront the world today. Divorce, however, is allowed but frowned upon. It is considered as a last resort for two people who cannot live together in a peaceful manner. Rabbi Landau also stated that by mutual understanding and more good will, it is pos- sible for brotherhood to dwell in our lives. “The new must not conquer the old, ' because we are all descendants from immigrants who started the great task of building the land we love. No matter, what our race or creed may be, he said, we must remember that “no one can be loyal to mankind who is disloyal to his own knd.” judy Engler Around the World was the theme for the annual Press Club variety show given on March 2 in the afternoon for the students, and again in the evening for the public. The little old lady, played by Liz Charnon, received a free tour of the world for saving Green Stamps for the stamp stampede. Patar Von Kampan was the guide-moderator of the tour. “Horatius at the Bridge, given by some of Sister M. Sharon's Latin classes, and “Golden Gloves, given by the senior boys, were two of the highlights of the show. Latin American mu£ic was provided by the dance band under the direction of Mr. Farina. Nick Palay also played Attending the sixth annual Wisconsin Junior Classical League convention this year will be 32 Latin students, Sister M. Sharon and Sister M. Gregory from BCHS. All member JCL high schools in Wisconsin will journey to North high school, Sheboygan, on Saturday, March 27. Beloit Latinists, under the direction of Sister Sharon, will attend panels concerning Latin and the Romance lan- guages, and the use of Latin in science. BCHS was given the chal- lenge of designing the music booklet for the convention. Holly Broderick illustrated the cover with the theme “Latin, a Bridge to Culture. Daryl Van Landeghem is song di- rector, and Sue Maloney will play the accompaniment. The business department of the school, directed by Sister M. Febronia, mimeographed and assembled the booklets. Mr. Berman is the host at the convention, and Mr. George Peterson is the principal of the host school. The purpose of the JCL is to make today’s youth realize what ancient peoples have contributed to our civilization in ideas and culture.
