September 10, 1963 SHAMROCK Studies Busy 32 Teachers For Summer Pursuing- professional devel- opment, 20 of CC ' s teachers spent their summer months studying in 14 different Midwest colleges and universities.

At Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Sisters Irma Agnes, Mary Lo- retta, Mary Angele, Marietta, Francis Elise, Winifred, Mary Timothy, and Francis Gertrude instructed summer courses. Sis- ters Maureen Therese, Marie Hildegarde, and Alice, who also taught, attended classes them- selves.

Sister Augustine and Sis- ter Mary Aileen, SP, studied at the University of Dayton and Xavier University, respectively. Traveling to Illinois were Mr. James McClintock to a seminar at Rosary College, and Mr. Mi- Meet Bishop Pursley Bishop Discusses Vatican II By Karen Choka Progressive or conserva- tive? Most Reverend Leo A. Pursley chuckled to himself. Then he answered that the bish- ops at the Ecumenical Council differ on some questions but will always seek a course between extremes. Each bishop must be a progressive because, just as we human beings are subject to change, so is the Church in its human aspects; and yet, at the same time, he must be con- servative where essential truths and values are involved. The sixth bishop of Fort Wayne was born in Hartford City, Ind., and obtained his early education from Holy Family Pa- rochial School. He entered Saint Joseph College, Rensselaer, in 1915. In 1921 he entered Mount Saint Mary Seminary, which is now Saint Gregory ' s Minor Seminary, Cincinnati, Ohio. Fol- lowing this, he studied four years of theology in Norwood, Ohio. Ordained Bishop June 11, 1927, Father Leo Aloysius Pursley was ordained chael Mitchell to Eastern Uni- versity. Sister Mary Austin, SSND, continued her studies at Marquette University. Mr. Robert Bakle and Mr. Thomas Kaough taught at Fort Wayne Commercial College. CC Students Attend Summer Workshops Enjoyment was mixed with work when CC students attended summer workshops at univer- sities across the Midwest. Mike G 1 a d i e u X ' 62, Jack Hirschfelder ' 61, Ed Hultgren ' 63, Adrian Reiniers ' 6.3, Henry Reitzug ' 64, and Mark Schaefer ' 62 attended Notre Dame ' s sum- mer math courses on National Science Foundation grants from June to August. Also receiving a National Sci- ence Foundation grant was Henry Marciniak, who studied and did research work in chem- istry at Indiana University. Six juniors, Rachelle Bruno, Richard Frederick, Rebecca Min- nick. Roberta Smith, Jane Tucker, and David Van Echo ad- vanced their science knowledge by attending a one-week course, specializing in the natural sci- ence aspect of biology at the University of Cincinnati. Helen Reimers, editor in chief of the SHAMROCK, and Jayne Frederick, a news editor, at- tended a two-week course in school paper and yearbook plan- ning at the University of De- troit. Margaret McLaughlin repre- sented CC at the Red Cross summer session at Miami Uni- versity in Oxford, Ohio. Bishop Pursley says many things to SHAMROCK ' S Karen Choka. by Bishop Noll in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Fort Wayne. His first assign- ment was at Saint Mary ' s, La- fayette. While there, he served as chaplain for the Newman Club at Purdue University. In 1937, he was assigned to Sacred Heart Parish, Warsaw. He came to Fort Wayne ' s Saint John the Baptist in 1942. Father Pursley was appointed Titular Bishop of Hadrianapolis in Pisidia and Auxiliary to Bishop Noll July 2, 1950. In February of 1955, v hen named Apostolic Administrator, he re- signed as pastor of Saint John ' s. After Bishop Noll ' s death. Bishop Pursley was consecrated Bishop of Fort Wayne Feb. 26, 1957. Bishop Pursley has inau- gurated changes in the diocese in recent years, the most nota- ble of which has been the addi- tion of South Bend to the of- ficial title of the diocese. As for other changes, the Bishop commented, There are always those people who say, But we never did that before, to whom I answer, That ' s pre- cisely why we ' re instituting a change — to give people all the benefits and advantages they otherwise wouldn ' t have. The Ecumenical Council re- convenes this fall Sept. 29, and Bishop Pursley will soon be leav- ing for Rome. The session is scheduled to close Dec. 8; to be reconvened for a third session only if work is left undone. This will probably be in the spring. No one can predict how long the Council will last, only that it will complete the neces- sary work. Explains Council In explanation of the work at the Council, Bishop Pursley said, Since the close of the first session last December, the vari- ous commissions elected and ap- pointed to prepare the agenda of the Council have been busy re- vising and condensing the mate- rial in accordance with the wishes of the late Holy Father, Pope John XXIII. In order to assist the Bishops of the United States in their study of the Council agenda (or schemata), several committees of American Bishops were chosen. Bishop Pursley is a member of three such commit- tees on Theology, the Lay Apos- tolate, and Communications, that is, newspapers, radio, and tele- vision. Pope John gave the Council a good start, concluded Bishop Pursley, and it will gain mo- mentum as it goes along. The laws that come from the Council will benefit young people more because they will live longer and see the new plans fulfilled. 15

SHAMROCK September 10, 1963 Message from the Principal It ' s Great To Be Alive Would you like a ride to the moon? Or perhaps just a quick trip around the world? Every child dreams of fairy lands and takes imaginary trips to the land of Oz. While we are growing: up, the world has a glow about it. In our teens we have the desire to do and to make and to see things. This is the fountain of youth, the perpetual energy and urgency of those who think young. Maturity is supposed to bring a more sober, a more realistic view of things. We settle down to the work-a-day world of routine. But you have the immense privilege of growing up in a world where this last idea no longer holds good. Everywhere people are hungry for good news. Economically underprivileged nations are experiencing the revolution of rising e.xpectations. The spiritually underprivileged (your neighbors and mine), disenchanted with sci- ence as the cure-all, are starved for the real good news. Pius XII said we live in the springtime of human history. My congratulations on being alive and adolescent in what looks like the greatest of all ages! Welcome New High! ' The proper and immediate end of Christian Education is to co-operate with divine grace in forming the true and perfect Chris- tian — that is to form Christ Himself in those regenerated by Baptism. (Pope Pius XI in his encyclical — Christian Education of Youth.) After 25 years of pioneering in Christian eeducation, CC welcomes a third Catholic high school to Fort Wayne. Headed by Principal Reverend Edward Krason, Bishop Dv. ' enger High School officially begins its administration this fall. The Catholic school system of America is rated very highly in both the number and quality of its schools. The Fort Wayne-South Bend diocese boasts of 58 grade schools and 11 high schools all staffed by dedicated men and women who take great satisfaction in giving knowledge to their students. Father Krason emphasized The main goal of the school will be the development of the intellect through Christian ideals. We as students of an established school must share our ex- perience and welcome our new companion — Bishop Dwenger.

This will not be of interest to you. We address our message to those people interested in something other than themselves — people interested in persons, places, and events affecting everyone at CC. Our subscribers are intelligent people who have a lively inter- est in knowing what ' s going on. You upperclassmen know to what we ' re referring. You have already benefited from the SHAMROCK ' S all- around coverage of school events, classes and clubs, extra- curricular activities, thought-provoking editorials, and some of the best in contemporary A ' riting by your fellow students. For you sports enthusiasts, the SHAMROCK covers the events of our championship teams. Start your school year right. During the following months know your school. Get your own SHAMROCK be- cause nobody likes somebody reading over his shoulder. Your SHAMROCK representatives will take sub- scriptions in your home room. You won ' t regret it. Council Commentory What will the Ecumenical Council mean to you, the layman of the future? It is certain that your role in the Church will be one of greater responsibility, such a role as has never before been granted to laymen. Already the Council has drawn the religions of the world into a closer contact with Catholi- cism, such that Anglicans are already debating reunion with the Church. Now, however, a new session of the Council is about to open under Pope Paul VI. This ses- sion of the Council will be com- prised of prelates who are pre- pared by experience to deal with the questions put to them. A grave matter which will certainly be brought up is that of religious freedom. Aug. 6, 1963, 149 United States ' bishops met at the Conrad Hilton in Chicago to discuss conciliar ac- tion on religious freedom. This news will please many bishops in other lands, who do not enjoy a separation of Church and State. In the view of some, experience of the Church in the United States is destined to make a special contribution to Vatican II. What will come of this reso- lution, no one can foresee; but by the prayers of all, perhaps re- ligious freedom can become a right belonging to all men. 14

Under the direction of Rever- end Joseph Emanuel, news- guidance director, one room was converted into four — two coun- seling rooms, a waiting room, and a confessional. The fiber glass partitions make each of the rooms sound proof. The penitent may have access to the confessional by a hall entrance, and his presence there can be made known to the priest on duty by a system of electrical signals. The priests ' teaching sched- ules have been so arranged that at least one priest will be availa- ble for counseling or confessions each period of the day. One of the sound-proof cubi- cals will be for the use of any student who has a problem to discuss with any priest or teacher.

Within a month ' s time Gloria Redwanski and Terrence Benbow met their God. Gloria ' s heart defect was first re- vealed by a chest X-ray taken in 1959. A doctor ' s con- sultation a n d further tests confirmed the diagnosis. July 15, 1962, Gloria under- went a special operation to cor- i-ect the hole in her heart. Dur- ing the following months of convalescence Gloria ' s condition became worse, and further tests indicated another operation was mandatory. Complications set in during her operation May 16, ' 63. At one time heart massage was nec- Custodians Mr. Eaii Schmidt Mr. Albert Snawder Mr. Louis Gonzales Mr. Larry Robbins ii Terry essary to revive her heart beat. Doctors applied a paste maker which prolonged her life for a few more days. Gloria died May 19. Terrence Benbow ' s auto accident o c - cuiTed on a Lagrange County road. Terry was driving. Ap- proaching a curve in the road he slammed on the brakes. The car rolled over crosswise four times pinning Terry against the front seat with his head hanging out the window. Terrence received brain injuries and underwent surgery at Parkview Memorial Hospital. The conscientious care of the doctors revealed an opening in Terry ' s lung. This was the immediate cause of his death June 6, 1963. These two deaths had a sob- ering eifect on our class while we were receiving our diplo- mas, recalled Maryann Schlie, former editor of the SHAM- ROCK. 16
