SHAMROCK October 31, 1962 With Classes And Clubs - Art Club The next big project that CC ai-tists will tackle will be the Christ Child Festival.

Cheryl Cooper is president, Julie Cent- livre is nce-president, secretary is Angela Pursley, and treasurer is Mary Angela Eggers. CDL At a recent meeting of the Citizens for Decent Literature, members were asked to write to the editors of various newspa- pers in New York to congratu- late them for their work in keeping their city clean regard- ing literature. The CDL is be- hind them all the way and asks them to keep up the hard work, says Ron Pausig, CDL chair- man. 4 Religion Class Terry Donahue, as chairman. Bill Weber, Marie Vandagrift, and Ann Bartholomey of Room 208 presented a panel discussion on The Ecumenical Council in their religion class. They were so successful that they were in- vited to give it before Mr. Ber- ber ' s class. All who heard them agreed that they had learned much about the Council, said their homeroom teacher, Sister Mary Timothy, SP. ■4 Daughters of Mary The Daughters of Mary are co-operating with the Confra- ternity of Christian Doctrine by helping the teachers make holy cards with the Hail Mary and Our Father printed on them. The cards will be given to deaf children throughout the Fort Wayne area as teaching aids. In two weeks, the Daughters of Mary will begin their Christ- mas project. Mary Kessens suggested making dolls, bean bags, and stuffed animals as Christmas gifts for needy chil- dren in the city. All Daughters of Mary are invited to help with this worth-while project. - TI C The purpose of the Teacher ' s Interest Club, says Marcia Beckman, president, is to ex- pose future teachers to the many experiences they will encounter in their careers. Marcia is as- sisted in the club ' s activities by D (I n n a Giere, vice-president; Marilynn Fox, secretary; and Marcia Lehman, treasurer. Don- na is also program chairman. The TIC, an organization for juniors and seniors, has adopted a constitution this year. One project of the club is helping teachers correct assignments and tests. Dues are collected to buy materials which the mem- bers will use. Donna has announced that the club will write to different states asking for colorful brochures, which can be used as displays in classrooms. 55C Provides Retreat Notes During the retreat, the SSC will distribute bulletins with prayers and summaries of the conferences to the students. The SSC will hang posters in the halls during November, the month of the Poor Souls, to re- mind students to make sacrifices and do penance for the souls in Purgatory. A rally in honor of Christ the King was held in front of CC, Oct. 29. Highlights of the event, of which the Sons of Mary were the official honor guards, were the recitation of the Litany of the Sacred Heart and hymns in honor of Christ the King. The program ended with a talk by Father Hammond, principal. ■ Commerce A movie entitled The Right Touch Electric Typing Time was recently shown to all com- merce classes of Sister M. Chris- tyn.

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! ' Rock Staff Will Journey To Convention Nineteen SHAMROCK staff members, accompanied by Sister Janet, SP, will attend the Na- tional Scholastic Press Associa- tion Conference, Nov. 22 to 24, at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago, 111.

Saves Two Lives; Receives Hero ' s Award Joseph Leeuw, freshman in H.R. 105, examines the life-sav- ing award he received for res- cuing two men. Very few people ever get the opportunity to save somebody ' s life, and a person who has saved two lives is an even greater rar- ity. There ' s one of these greater rarities at CC this year. He ' s freshman Joseph Leeuw, 105. During the past year Joe has rescued two people by his quick thinking and his decisive action in a moment of peril. Joe made his first rescue last winter when he pulled a com- Music Dept. Elects Officers New officers have been elected in all the organizations of the Central Catholic Music Depart- ment.

He and two other boys had been sledding when suddenly one of the sleds shot out on the pond and broke through the thin layer of ice that covered it. Joe crawled out on the ice and pulled the boy back to safety. The Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce presented Joe with a life saving award for this res- cue. The second rescue was made this summer at Crooked Lake. Joe and a Fort Wayne neighbor, Mr. E m m e 1 1 Pressler, were swimming and diving from a boat anchored in the lake. Mr. Pressler dived from the boat and didn ' t come up. Joe waited. He realized that Mr. Pressler had been gone for quite awhile and he dived in after him. He found Mr. Pressler unconscious in about 15 feet of water. Joe pulled Mr. Pressler to the sur- face, and dragged him to the shore, about 150 feet away. A Columbia City ambulance crew re -ived Mr. Pressler. A modest, quiet individual, Joe does not attribute the res- cues to any special factor. He is a member of the Swinney Park swim team, and once he took second place in the free-style event in the City Swim meet.
