Page 5 March, 1965 STUDENTS OF ST. MARY'S SPRINGS ACADEMY, Fond du Lac, discussed the necessity of an apostolic attitude in their every- day school life, at the first Catholic Youth Conference of Beloit CYC Conference Held March 14 A Youth Conference was held on Sunday afternoon, March 14, at Beloit Catholic High School. All Catholic youth of Beloit were invited. The most significant purpose of the conference was to bring together all Catholic students of Beloit in a common spiritual effort to promote better Christian spirit in the community. The program, sponsored by MCA units of Beloit parishes, the BCHS Sodality, and the BCHS Young Christian Stu- dents (YCS), began with Holy Mass in English at 12 o'clock, fol lowed by lunch in the cafeteria at 1 o'clock, and a general meeting in the gym at 1:30. Father James Doheny from St. Francis Seminary, Mil- waukee, spoke to the students. The Apostolic Youth Group from St. Mary's Springs Aca- demy, Fond du Lac, gave a demonstration of the way an apostolic is to be conducted to acquaint students with its procedures. It is hoped that the con- ference can be held four times annually. Discussions will vary, topics will pertain to the time of the year, and goals for students will be set. There will be four main conferences tied together by the monthly holy hour, and including Student Mass, Benediction, and brief discussions. JAMES KRUSSEL, junior at Beloit Memorial High School, was the student chairman of the Catholic Youth Conference, held Sunday, March 14.

Congratulations to Martha Takacs on the publication of on excerpt from her February editorial in the Chicago Tri- bune and a reprint of it in the Beloit Daily News. Have you ever noticed the drinking fountains? How nice and full they are of Wrigley's gum? A great big cheer to those who constantly replenish them! It’s the way to let dlhers know that rules were made for every- one but you. 2 Comprende el Espahol, Vd.? MR. MAUEL listens while two of his second year students recite in his Spanish class. Students are Pete Obligato and Shirley Kulawinski. Spanish Department m — Larger than Ever” This year there are more Spanish students than ever before in the history of the school. Mr. Mauel has two first year classes with 63 students, and a second year class with 33 students. There are plans for a third year class next year. At pre- sent Linda Osborn is the only third year student. She takes a correspondence course from the University of Wis- consin. Mr. Mauel is taking a dif- ferent approach this year. To help the students learn dia- logue, he has many poster pictures. He thinks that they help students understand what they are saying and make their speech more automatic. The Spanish classes have both oral and written tests. Oral students are given and corrected by a second year student. Mr. Mauel tapes questions and has the ad- ministrating student show pictures. This helps the per- son taking the test. For diversion and for help with the language, the class sings songs and listens to taped conversations. Kathy Murphy

March, 1965 Page 4 Cast, Crew Working Hard Spring Play 'Shaping Up’ The cost for My Fair Lady1' is hard at work with the block- ing for the play. Blocking is the coordination of the words, actions, songs, and dances. Fr. Lenahan said, The wonderfully intimate nature of the arena demands talent. He feels that the students have this talent and that they are trying hard to bring it forth. Eliza (Linda Osborn) and Higgins (Mike Hanish) have a special burden placed on them because of the number of lines they are required to memorize. Co-chairmen for the costume committee, Pam Van Landeghem and Diane Schaul, are collecting costumes and accesories. Anyone having appropriate costumes for this play are being asked to contact the committee Father plans on having all blocking and memorization of lines completed by April 1 so that there will be no last minute rush for the actois. The big problem,” says Fr. Lenahan, is that as of yet we can not use the stage.” But Kevin Darrah, chairman of the stage crew notes, We’re working our heads off.” Mrs. Watson is in charge of the choral ensemble groups, while Mr. Farina is preparing the dance band for the precise timing needed. Chairman of the Music Guild’s promotion for the production is Mr. Don Evenson Mary Lou F inley FATHER LENARZ distributes sodality pins and membership cards to Mary Gharrity, Sue Ryan, and Pat FitzGerald, Sodality inductees. 12 Inducted Twelvo students were in- ducted into the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Sunday, March 7, at the St. Joseph chapel of the Beloit Catholic High School Convent.

Vocations Week A skit on the religious vocations will be presented by each class in BCHS in ob- servance of Vocations Week, March 29-April 2. Peter Obligato, chairman of the activity, said the purpose of these skits is to give the students a better understand- ing of the religious vocations by active participation in a vocation assembly. Each skit will be about 10-12 minutes long. After each skit has been presented, a speaker will discuss the mes- sage of the skit and its ap- plication to each student. Costumes and scenery may be used, but the committee has asked that staging be kept simple so that it will not distract from the message of the skit. It is hoped that the skits Features Skits will aid those who are seriously thinking of a religious vocation and those whose children may someday be considering the call”. Carrol Garstecki

P«R 6 March, 1965 Varsity “Bombs” All-Stars Intromural All Stars chal- lenged the Beloit Catholic High Varsity on Thursday evening, March 4 and were soundly beaten by the score of 85-62. At the outset, the All Stars jumped to a 4-0 lead. However, sharp-shooting Don Smiley, Larry Scott, and Mika Mowers closed the gap and then spurted to a 27-9 score at the end of the first quarter. Although the front line of the Varsity con- trolled the boards, they became too aggressive and were re- peatedly called for offensive violations. The second quarter saw the Varsity race to a 38-18 lead, scoring almost at will. With Tim Lowria and Pat Monahan swishing in some long bombs, the Stars rallied to cut the deficit to 47-29 at the half. The Varsity exploded at the start of the third quarter to bury the All Stars with a 12 point outburst. With the score at 59-29, Mika Mowors picked up his fifth personal. This lack of height in rebounding seemed to stun the Varsity, as it was then the Stars turn to retaliate. Fast-breaking, they outscored their opponents, 17-2. Nick Poloy had 11 consecutive points during this stanza. Thereafter, the Varsity righted themselves and matched every basket by the Stars by two. In the last quarter, with Don Smiloy driving the lane, cleared by Poto Piazza's picks, plus Scott's and Tom 0’Donohue's side shots, the Varsity pulled away to lead 80-50. Here, Smiley fouled out, and the Varsity was left with “four on the floor. Immediately the All Stars responded. Peter Van K am pen and David Luebke picked off missed shots and stuffed them back in, Luebke being especial- ly effective under the Stars' offensive boards, and the Varsity’s lead dwindled. With one minute left, however, it was 81-62 Varsity. Two long shots by O’Donahue and Scott, the latter’s at the buzzer, ended the game at 85-62. Larry Scott scored the nets for 30 points, to lead all scorers, while teammate Don Smiloy had 17. The Stars were led by Nick Paley and David Luobko with 15 and 12. Nick Paley MIKE MOWERS goes up for two more in the win over Turner High School.

Ideas at olp George BRosVevr J. B. GEORGE Freshmen dose With 17-3 Record It was tho ond to an almost perfect season. A win of 77-58 over Janesville St. Mary’s was the final crown. In that gaaae Coach Barnabo was able to use all 17 of his play- The boys from St. Mary’s made a valiant effort to over- come the lead set by the Crasader frosh, but it was too late. Three boys hit double figpres for the victors • Lee Scott, Jim Cousin, and Dick Johnson with 20, 15 and 10 points. In their Feb. 9 game at Orfordville the Crusader frosh got off to a slow start, but they recovered sufficiently by the second quarter to walk off with a 46-37 win. Perhaps it was that short two-minute talk by Coach Barnabo between quarters that did it. High scoring honors for the winners went to Lee Scott, Tim Ghor- rity and Kemil Basmagy with 16. 9, and 8 points respectively. On Feb. 6 the Crusader frosh lost their third game of the season, this time by a margin of 64-31. The boys from Beloit were outscored in every garter, but their good sports- manship went to work and they took the loss in stride. High scorer in the game was J. Phillips with 21 points. Against Brodhoad on Feb. 1 it was again the Crusader frosh on top 47-30. High scor- ers in the game were Loo Scott and Dick Johnson with 16 and 11 points. And likewise against Janesville on Jan. 28, it was the BCH frosh on top 63-34. In the words of Coach Bar- nabo at the beginning of the season, “It’s going to be a lot of hard work, but I know yon guys can do it. And that’s just what they did, winning 17 out of 3 of their games and taking third place in the Guilford-Boy lan tourna- ment. High scoring honors for the season went to Jim Cousin, who damped in 186 points. The other five top scorers were Lae Scott with 177 points, Dick Johnson with 169 points, Komil Basmagy with 132 Tim Gharrity with 113 points, and Jim Zaher with 77 points. Peter St. Peter
