SHAMROCK October 31, 1962 Some CC seniors recently went back a few hundred years as they viewed the performance of a wandering minstrel. It was none other than senior, Tom Hueber, accompanying himself with a homemade mandolin. The young gleeman entertained his English class with a ballad composed by himself. It was really very ap- propriate, as the class is now studying medieval English literature. Moe: Hey Doe, Ya know some of these freshmen aren ' t so green after all. Doe: What do ya mean by that, Moe? Moe: Well, Becky Kohne and Mary Louise Crowe, for instance. A couple of weejis ago they tromped over t ? Lenkendofer ' s to get cokes for some ipf the SHAMROCK staff, who were working so hard one nightjj Doe: Well can syou, imagine that? Three cheers for the frosh! Say CC ' ers, don ' t throw away your old SHAMROCKS. Folded under and slightly rolled, they make excellent flyswatters! Asst. Principal Speal(s On... Never underestimate the power of a woman has Ijecome so potent a seHing- slogan that we find it selling groceries, European tours, and new model cars. The ad- vertising world has put tiie spotlight, as it were, on a facet of life of which we are undoubtedly aware, but do not too often signalize: the influence of women. Equally real might be the motto: Never underesti- mate the power of me. Whether we realize it or not, each of us has a tremendous influence on those with whom we come in contact. The extent of this influence depends primarily on the strength of our character and second- arily on our closeness to the person we influence; but whether we will it or not we influence everyone we meet in some little or some big way. It is a sobering thought that everyone we meet is a little better or a little worse because we are what we are. Whether the thought appeals to us or not the truth is Never underestimate the power of me.

Report cards have the atrocious habit of popping up at the most inopportune times. It might be the weekend of that huge smash over at Bob ' s, but with that 69 hitting your parents between the eyes, your prospect of going is about as bright as a tomb. How come the low grade? Maybe the chief reason is that things just seem to pile up and there isn ' t enough time. It could be that you are haunted by that imp, pro- crastination. He works like this: It ' s 9 p.m. You are blithely watching Dracula Returtis Again on TV, when with horror you realize, that 600 word theme, which has been assigned for a week, is due tomorrow, and you have- n ' t even started. The witching hour finds you still writ- ing, and the next morning you ' re either half dead or look- ing that way. You can learn to master that little imp by setting aside a certain time to do your homework. Keeping to the schedule v ill be murder at first, but gradually you will learn to like the order. If you have a long assignment which extends over a week, divide the work into equal parts and do a little each night. Keep a record of all your homework for greater effi- ciency. If you do this you won ' t get that feehng: Gee, I wonder what I forgot to do? Mary McClaren Retreat gives everyone a chance to examine himself spiritually and to re-evaluate his motives for living. Don ' t turn down the opportunity. Who ' s Confused? Have you ever tried to tell your parents about the various developmental, intelligence, and achievement tests you take at CC? If you have, the chances are that you confuse them by rattling off about the NEDT, PSAT, and NMSQT. Usually your parents seem to dig you when you talk about your school activities, but somehow you just can ' t make them understand these tests. Well, let CC ' s faculty and administration straighten your parents out! Your teachers are much more quali- fied to do the explaining — in fact, they ' ve even set aside special evenings on which to do it. If you ' re a senior, your parents will learn about the testing programs November 13. Junior and soph par- ents will be enlightened November 14 and 15, respec- tively. Parents of frosh will stay in the dark a little longer, since their turn for the explanation won ' t come until February 19. Moral: If testing programs confuse your Mom and Dad, send them to Parents ' Nights. It ' s possible that some day, when you ' re trying to tell your parents about your College Boards, Mom and Dad might do a turnabout and give you an explanation! Maryann Schlie 18

The purpose of the drive is to ' Keep Christ in Christmas ' through the sale of religious Christmas cards, says Sister Marie Hilde- garde, SP, CSMC moderator. This year there are six differ- ent selections of cards and two kinds of wrapping paper avail- able. The drive, which began Oct. 23, will continue through the second week of December. A portion of the money from the sale of each bo.x of cards will be sent to home and foreign mis- sions. The enthusiasm of the stu- dents to help restore the reli- gious obsei-v-ance of Christmas through the sale of Catholic cards will insure the drive ' s sue- OUR nn iL The following letters about the merge of the ECHO and SHAMROCK come from Room 407 and 408. I like the SHAMROCK as a newspaper this year because the stories are better and there is more to it. But I don ' t think I will like the idea of having the SHAMROCK instead of a yearbook. No one told us why we aren ' t having the ECHO this year, and no one has fold us what ' s really going to be in the SHAMROCK be- sides all the school paper issues and senior pictures. I don ' t think many kids will pay more money for something they don ' t know about. We suggest that you read the story CC Merges Publications in the September issue of the SHAMROCK. ED. I think I like the idea on the whole. By binding the newspapers up our SHAMROCK yearbook will have all the news of this school year in it. My only complaint is that the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors will not be able to have individual pictures in it. My opinion of the SHAMROCK is: I like if as far as how much is in it, but I ' d prefer to have a regular yearbook like we had in other years. This year the SHAMROCK is very nice, the pic- tures are very clear, but I ' d still prefer the other yearbook. The paper itself I like, but combining the ECHO and SHAM- ROCK I do not think is a good idea. I do not believe that a lot of students want to pay $3 for a bound edition of what they paid $2 for during the year. But there ivill be much more in the bound edition than just the copies of the SHAMROCK! ED. I like the SHAMROCK. I like especially the bit about no ad- vertisements. I also like the size. We like the bit about no advertisemeyits too! ED. I didn ' t buy the SHAMROCK, but I read one of my friend ' s. I really like if and I wish now I would have gotten one in the be- ginning. It ' s not too late to subscribe! Come to the SHAMROCK of- fice and see us about a subscriptioti. ED. Do you have an opinion you ' d like to air? The SHAMROCK likes to get letters. Write to us!
