Stampede Causes Strange Actions Anyone coming to BCHS during the past few weeks would probably have seen some students wearing on their blouses or shirts stickers reading “Sophomores Save Stamps or “Junity Forever. If the visitor had been lucky enough to talk to these students, he would probably have seen, too, that they had yellow, orange or green tongues. In the morning, during homeroom period, he would have been apt to notice another strange thing about these students. They would dart in and out of their homerooms, peeking around comers and slinking down the hall, carrying large envelopes or boxes under their shirts and accompanied by a contingent of bodyguards. This might have seemed strange to an outsider, but to the students it was a very serious matter. This was the time of the Stamp Stampede! When the parents and faculty decided not to have a Mardi Gras festival this year, they persuaded the Student Council to sponsors contest among the classes to raise money needed for the school. With the Student Council they decided that the students should save stamps and money and turn them in to their homeroom repre- sentatives. In order to increase their funds, classes would each be allowed one bake sale. The winning class, contest directors decided, would be re- warded with a half day free and a chance to swim or skate at the Wagon Wheel. The runnerup class would be admitted free of charge to a Home and School sponsored dance. The mood of the contest caught on quickly. In a few days class effort was in full swing and money came rolling in. Final results were announced Wednesday afternoon, April 14. The SOPHOMORES were the winning class with a total of $892.15 or $7.63 per student. Coming in second were the JUNIORS with $764.03 or $7.57 per student. The FRESHMEN, most of whom do not hold jobs, earned $681.85 or $4.95 per student The SENIORS brought in $363.59 or $3.05 per student. The GRAND TOTAL for the Stamp Stampede was $2,702.75.

April, 1965 Page 4 Man Proposes - God Disposes Think of all the wonderful things man has done to beau- tify our country. He has built huge skyscrapers, beautiful monuments, gleaming steel bridges, and intricate highway systems. He has devised ways to forecast the weather weeks in advance, so that he can prevent some undesirable effects. Man has improved nature by conservation methods and genetics. He has also reduced working hours to pro- vide for more leisure time. Yet in a single second God can and sometimes does destroy all these. The floods in northern Wisconsin, the recent tornados, the numerous East coast hurricanes, and uncontrollable forest fires show the might of our Creator. But why does God sometimes destroy man’s progress and accomplishments. Mon is a proud creature, and rightly so, because of his many achievements. Still man must be humble and realize that he is very dependent upon the Almighty. These “tra- gedies could be God’s way of reminding men of their limited abilities. Jean Behrman ARISTA Mailbox f T H I TO THE EDITOR: Soloists and ensemble | members would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Jack Farina and Mr. Joseph Simmons for all the help they gave us in working up our numbers for the music contest, and for their patience in putting up with us these past few weeks. 0 W !

The victim stated later that during the attack, at least eight or ten people passed by, completely ignoring the brutal pom- meling. These people were too cowardly or pusillanimous to help the victim, because they did not wish to become involved. Did Christ worry about getting involved” when He broke up the Pharisees in the temple or when He died on the cross for us? No! Christ was o leader, on “ involved” leader. The results of Christ’s leadership are we, the members of His Mystical Body. So now it is our duty as Christian students to carry on His work and to become “involved .

A leader may not always be as popular as everyone else, but a leader is not everyone else. A leader is a per- son respected and skillful in his field. One person may be a leader in athletics, another in scholastics, or another in student government. No matter where the leader leads, people will follow him if he excels in his field and is truly a good leader. Today there is a great demand for leaders, and it is our obiigatign to meet this demand.

April, 1965 Page 6 Baseball Season Opens With Win, Good Outlook In its first gome, April 8, the BCHS baseball team scored a 4-1 victory over North Boone. Jon Winger did a brillant job on the mound, allowing only three hits. A double by Earl Pen- newell and two singles each by Don Smiley and Art Kapitanoff made Winger’s job easier. North Boone scored its only run in the top of the third on a hit batter, a stolen base and a double error. Although the team won its first game, the baseball out- look isn’t as bright as it has been in former years. Still BCHS can look forward to a good season. Even though there are only five returning letter- men, the underclassmen are well versed in the strategy of the game and should prove valuable. Returning lettermen are Don Smiley, Pete Piazza, Larry Scott, Art Kapitanoff, John Winger and Jan Toubl. Senior Dan Bums, junior Bruce Mclnnis, and sophomores Brian Luebke, Earl Pennewell, Jim Heidt, Rick Asplund and Mike Luttig will all contribute considerably to the cause. James Wright Art Kapitanoff, Rick Asplund; Mike Lattif, mmi Joe Toubl stand ready for baseball action. Marquette Coach Is Gaesf Speaker Returning Seniors Bolster Golf Team This year BCHS is looking forward to its finest golf team. Jerry Conway, a two time letter earner, will fill the number one spot and add a professional flare to the team. Backing up Conway will be a host of senior veterans, in- cluding Tom Carney, Frank Linde, 'Dennis Nuciforo, John McLaughlin, Nick Paley, Tom Pfaff, and Dennis Panicucci. Seven promising freshmen recruits will provide zeal and reserve power: Barney Barber, Mike George, Dick Johnson, John Ryan, Mike Keough, Mike Mertes, and Terry Kirkeeng will have opportunity to show their ability. Mr. Jerry Thomas will again coach the BCHS team and provide pro tips for the team members. The first match on April 12 with Brodhead was post- poned because of bad weather. Other matches will be with Edgerton, Marion of Woodstock, Boylan, Whitewater, and Edge wood. Two sophomores will return this year. Frank Alongi will lead the attack, while Daryl Van Landegham gives his support. Daryl Van Landegham J'JjJU Pancake Breakfast Draws large Crowd The BCHS Athletic As- sociation held its second annual Pancake Breakfast Sunday morning, April 4. The event was termed a great success. The association served some 1500 people and cleared a profit of $800. Coach Bamabo said its success was due to the enthusiastic ticket selling by the Lettfcrmen. They accounted for $650. The general feeling is that next year the “breakfast” should last all day, but this, of course, would involve much more work. This year some 75 people gave their time and effort and still more help was needed. The money from the break- fast will help finance the spring sports, since they do not have a revenue of their own. BCHS athletes and their coaches have voted special thanks to the men of the Athletic Association who gave up their Sunday morning to help make the Pancake Breakfast a big success. Art Kapitanoff The BCHS Athletic As- sociation will hold its annual banquet on May 6 in the school gymnasium. Guest speaker will be Mr. A1 McGuire, head bas- ketball coach at Marquette University. In his first year as head coach, Mr. McGuire led his young Warriors to vic- tory over highly regarded St. John’s and Wisconsin. Awards will be made at the banquet to many outstanding athletes. These awards in- clude the Sportsmanship Award, given by Kruger Sports Shop; the Athletic and Academic Award, presented by Birth’s Sporting Goods; and the Athletic Achievement Award, presented by the Beloit Catholic Athletic Association. Major letters will be awarded to varsity players while underclassmen will receive minor letters and ninilT Cheerleaders will receive cihrt letters, numerals, or pas Appending on their Jaaes Wright As Mr. Hal Tower supervises. Coach B—ho and Pete Van Kampen cook up another batch of those rfelicns pancakes at the Pancake Breakfast, April 4.
