May, ; 65 'My Fair Lady' Is Huge Success The “mosaic” which Fother Lenahan had so often mentioned to the cast of “My Fair Lady” was finally completed on Sunday, May 2. The final curtain call was over, the applauce had sub- sided, and BCHS had experienced one of the greatest dramatic successes it had ever seen. A close look at this mosaic shows that each part, regardless of siz£, was essential to the final picture. In the center were Linda Osborn and Mike Honish, whose hours of hard work made the greatest cast contributions. Peter and Kevin Van Kompen added color to the mosaic with their contrasting rowdy and gentlemanly performances. Many other actors and actresses exhibited their talent and added greatly to the show. Among them were Jan Toubl, Barb Carter, Pat Choudoir and Lindo Tower. Surrounding the key performers were the servants. Ascot singers and Cockney street people. Their success was attributed to long hours of practice and the direction of Mrs. Watson. Mr. Forina and the BCHS band provided musical background for the show. Completing the mosaic were the costume cnmmit e, headed by Pom Van Landeghem and Diane Schaul, and the makeup people headed by Liz Chamon and Jim West. Kevin Darrah and the stoge crew were responsible for the excellent lighting, props and stage management. All the pieces of the mosaic are now accounted for. All that was needed to put them in place was a steady hand and a strong will. The cement which was to keep these pieces in place and withstand pressure was Fathor Lenahan. Before work on the play began, the general outlook was some- what pessimistic. Many persons believed that so difficult an undertaking could not be very successful. Fother Lenahan, how- ever, believed that it could be done, and he strove for perfection in every detail. And perfection was what he got. Each performance received a standing ovation. As Colonel Pickering might have put it, “You said that you could do it, and indeed you did!” „ .. .

Pag. 2 Summertime What will you be doing five weeks from now and through- out your whole vocation? Will it be just another summer or will it be of some use to you? A summer job might be financially helpful and at the same time give you experience for your later life. Juniors planning on a college education could visit some colleges or at least start thinking about it. They could take a course at summer school in order to keep in shape and prepare for later studies. Entering clubs would give you a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and handle new personalities. Keep Physically Fit! Swimming, golfing, tennis, and all of your favorite sports should play an important role in your summer activities. And always remember, even if you are not able to take a trip, you can visit many different lands through leisure reading. Have a happy summertime! Nancy Belvedere Athletics - A Key to Manhood Some not associated with the world of sports have often wondered at the perseverance and persistence of an athlete? Those of us who are “in the know” of the time and effort put into an athlete’s high school career, realize the fruition of our athlete’s efforts in the victories which the perserv- ing athlete achieves. With these obvious fruits come the underlying victories which do not appear on the scoreboard, but do appear in th» athlete. They are the victories that the athlete has over himself and his weaknesses. He must first have the correct attitude toward the sport which he is about to participate. A true athlete enters the sport with the intention of doing his best in victory and in defeat. There is no place in competitive sports for winners or losers. Athletics is a contest of winners. These traits of maturity are the essentials needed for he forming of the men of the world, needed to meet today’s many demands in life. Next, the athlete must have the perseverence to “stick it out” through the whole season. Finally the athlete must finish the season in the peak of his efforts; his greatest effort should be in his last of athletics. The winners of these underlying victories in athletics will be truly the winners in the life of time and eternity. Kevin Van Kampen May, 1965 Open Letter to the Seniors Dear Seniors, You’re on your last leg of high school now. Soon you’ll be saying, “Remember when we dissected worms in biology and marched in English class? Remember our first place Viking Ship? Most of you are probably glad high school is over and some may never even think about it again. Then you will go off to college or get a full-time job. You will begin to think of high school as Kid’s stuff”, and you may joke about the “dumb little things you use to do, or worry about, or wish for. True, these high school hopes and dreams may be small compared to the important decisions you will face some day. Nevertheless always remember that high school is the im- portant foundation of your later life. You are a great class. Never forget BCHS and good luck in the future!

Sister Ronalda substituted this project for the traditional fourth quarter projects. Congratulations to the Seniors who will groduate on May 301 Does it seem that September, 1961 was actually four years ogo? Latin projects recently invaded the Publications room. These excellent dis- plays show how hard the first year Latin classes are working. A great deal of time and effort was put into each, and the freshmen are to be commended. Among outstanding Beloit MCA workers are Mary Fallon, Sister Charles Margaret, Linda Rapp, Wayne Abel, Marsha Dalles, and Sister Grace Mary, MCA Strives To Save Souls The St. Jude’s MCA group will meet tonight at 7:30 in the Guild Hall. Nearly every two weeks this announcement is heard over the P.A. What is this MCA group? The Missionary Cenacle Apostolate is an organization of zealous souls reaching out in all possible directions to help and save other souls. The first Junior Cenacle unit in Beloit was established in 1962 in Our Lady of the Assumption Parish by Sister Marie Therese of the Missionary Servants of the Most Blessed Trinity. Last fall two more parish units were organized by these sisters who wear hats instead of veils. At present Sister Charles Margaret is moderator of the O.L.A. unit Sister Mary Louise guides the St Thomas unit and Sister Grace Mary is in charge of the St. Jude unit. Each unit is com- posed of Catholic students in grades 9 through 12 in both the Catholic and public schools of Beloit. Organization Is Not Entirely Spiritual The Missionary Cenacle Apostolate was founded in 1909 by Father Augustine Judge, C.M. He is also the founder of the Mis- sionary Servants of the Most Blessed Trinity. Father Judge had found, through personal experience, that the greatest force in the Church of modem times was the influence of the layman. The ideal of the Cenacle is: Be Good, Do Good, and Be a Power for Good. Goodness stans at home, and in order to help others do good one must be good himself. This is the essence of the Cenacle. The organization is not only spiritual, however. MCA members constantly practice the Corporal Works of Mercy. Some of the boys and girls help with the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine classes, write to prisoners, provide free babysitting so that parents can attend Parent Educator Classes, visit the sick in hospitals, and visit the old in rest-homes. Each parish MCA group meets separately twice a month. Linda Newton Latinists Charles Denos, Gary Bach and Jin Lukas exanine sone of the Latin I projects displayed in the Publications Roon,
