In a kickoff assembly Feb. 23, Mr. George Lepak, Home and School chairman, and Art Kapitanoff, Student Council president, outlined the fund-raising program. Besides soliciting stamps from their homes and other rela- tives, they noted, students could contribute cash. They urged students to make the drive an occasion for personal lenten sacrifice by contributing a share of their earnings or pocket money each week. Each class is also permitted to hold one bake sale to boost its funds. Classes are competing against each other in order to achieve the first prize, a half-day trip to the Wagon Wheel where the winners will have a choice of ice skating or swimming. Second prize will be free admission to a pa rent-student dance in May. The administration also promises a half-day free from school to everyone if the $3,000 mark is surpassed. The competition is being run on a percentage basis. To be eligible for a prize, however, a class must meet a quota equiva- lent to $3 per student. Thus the freshmen will have to donate $400 or its equivalent in stamps. The sophomores will need $340 worth of stamps or money. The juniors will have to scratch up $300, while the seniors must add $350 to the total. The drive officially started March 1, and will continue until the end of Lent. Each Friday Mrs. Charles Petit and Mrs. Eugene Hudson total and tally class contributions. Daryl Van Landeghem A guy with a lot of drive and school spirit is Kevin Von Kampen, president of the sophomore class. Kevin is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Van Kampen and a member of Saint Jude’s parish. In May, Kevin will be featured as Col. Pickering in the play “My Fair Lady.’’ Besides dramatics, Kevin is active in Y.C.S., Press Club, Junior Classical League, and Student Council. Kevin is also active in sports. In his freshman year he was a member of the fresh- man basketball team. As a sophomore, he was a member of our powerful football squad. He plans to continue playing football his remaining two years and shows great poten- tial for the future. Plus the required subjects of religion, English, and biology, Kevin is tackling geometry and Latin II. His grades are good enough to place him on the Honor Roll. Peter Obligato Hove you noticed how diligently the seniors are studying religion this semester? Could it be the marriage course or are they really worried about grades?

March, 1965 Van Kampen Team Intramural Champs Page 7 Sports Slants I seasonal basketball champion- ’s team with Jim Perkin’s team The Intramural tournamoat ship went to Peter Von Komi runner-up. The biggest upset of the tournament came on Sunday, Feb. 14, as KopitanoH defeated LvuMte 45-37 in a hard fought con- test. The big difference was the control of the offensive and defensive boards by Kapitanoff, plus the 19 and 18 points thrown in by T. Tibbits and A. KopitanoH. The next game saw Van Kampon shade Paley 53-52 on a jump shot by T. PfoH with 8 seconds left. N. Paley hit for 25 in the losing cause, while PfoH was high with 17 for the victors. The first game saw Pevfcins throwing up a stingy defense to limit Carney to long shots from the outside. The winners pulled away after the half and were never challenged. Perkin» scored 23 points. There was no defense when Van Kampen demolished Kap- itonoH. Scoring at a rapid dip. Von Kompen built up a com- manding 21-3 lead at the first stop, and applying pressure constantly, eased into the finals. L. Goodrich hit 27 in the win. Thursday night’s championship game was even for the first quarter. Then Van Kampen ran Perkin» off the court, personally escorting them by scoring 7 ooosecutive points. The turning point came when both teams were awarded the bonus situation. Here Von Kampen'» team repeatedly converted while Perkin could not. After J. Bergesoa fouled out for Perkins' team in the second quarter, Von Kampen had control of both boards and also the game, ending with a score of 55-36. ions was as follows: Balanced scoring by the P. Van Kampen F. Linde L. Goodrich T. Pfaff 20 pts. 15 pts. 13 pts. 9 pts.

Paley 18.1 2. J. Perkins 17.1 3. D. Luebke 17.0 4. T. Pulaski 15.1 5. D. Marino 14.3 Nick Paley BCHS took a long trip for nought by ending the cage season against St. Joseph of Kenosha in tourney play. After dropping our Saders 62-53 St. Joseph herself was eliminated by Racine St. Catherine. Setting a typically slow pace, BCHS failed to take advantage of golden oppor- tunities. Passing up good shots, missing picks, drives, and fouling early hurt the Saders. Despite these in- consistencies BCH managed to procure a 13 point lead midway through the second quarter - a lead which was promptly washed out by nine straight turnovers. The second half showed St Joseph taking advantage of poor defense and with a “touch of luck’’ on some fantastic shots they increased their lead to 10 at the final buzzer. Larry Scott had one of his most lucrative nights canning more than 20 points. He was backed by John Winger’s 15 from the outside. The 1964-65 basketball season was one of the poorest vm g mm THE FIRST PLACE INTRAMURAL TEAM of BCHS is headed by Peter Van Kampen (F, 1). The team includes, Frank Linde, Larry Goodrich, Tom Pfaff, (bottom row) Jack Hamill, Angelo Anastasi, Pat McKeam and Mike Greene. in years for Catholic High. Finishing conference play third from the bottom with a record of 4-10 and defeating only Turner and South Beloit, Beloit Catholic rated only one honorable mention in the All-Conference standings - one that went to senior guard Don Smiley. Nonconference play only added to Sader High miseries by contributing 5 more losses, 2 to arch foe Edgewood, and one each to Clinton, Honon egah (Durand Christmas Tourney) and St. Joseph’s. Dispite all the gloom shrouding the “late” hardwood season, a few bright spots managed to break through. Seniors Mike Mowers and Don Smiley ranked among the hig£i scorers for the SHARK Con- ference. Don Smiley rated All- Conference honorable mention and John Winger showed Coach Melvin what to look for next year with his deadly outside shooting. Many will be the memories of our games, for even in losing much is learned, both by players and spectators and many exciting moments are shared. Congratulations go to Mike Mowers, who was elected most valuable player and to Don Smiley and -Lorry Scott, who were chosen co-captains of the Catholic High Basketball team. The ARISTA sports staff sincerely urges the student body to get out and back our spring sports teams. With track, baseball, tennis, and golf there should be something to interest any sports minded student. Peter Piazza

BELOIT CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL Beloit, Wisconsin Vol. 13 No. 7 April,. 1965 “What about your boast that you could pass her off as a duchess at the Embassy Ball?” asks Col. Pickering, right (Kevin Van Kampen). of Prof. Higgins, left (Mrke Hanish), while Elrza Doolittle (Linda Osborn) listens intently. My Fair Lady Gets Go’ Sign Toke a spectacular musical which has won many acclumations; sparkle it with the best actors and actresses that BCHS has to offer; liven it with the music of the BCHS band. Couple these with stage props, costumes, and a lot of hard work, and you have the great BCHS production of the great musical “My Fair Lady.” After four months of rehearsals, organizing, and obstacles, the sign is GO for the launching of the performances on April 29. Only through the cooperative effort of all those involved will this Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe musical be a success. Certainly the greatest part of the credit must go to Father Lena- han, the director, who started early in the year to get the play rolling. Linda Osborn, as Eliza Doolittle, Mike Hanish, as Henry Higgens, and Kevin Van Kampen, as Col. Hugh Pickering. ha e put in many hours a night on weekdays and weekends to perfect their roles. They have a difficult task of learning and coordinat- ing their many lines, songs, actions, and dances. All of the other actors must also spend a great deal of time practicing their parts, for the play is only as good as each one of the actors. In “My Fair Lady” there are many people working backstage who receive little recognition, yet without them the show would be impossible. Kevin Darrah is in charge of the stage crew, and Jeff Fuhrman is stage manager. Liz Chamon and Jim West are co-chairmen of the make-up committee, Diane Schaul and Pam Van Landegham are in charge of costumes. Sandy Schultz and Mary Egdorf are student ticket chairmen.
