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

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. Twelve faculty members taught in col- lege summer sessions. Reverend Robert Hammond, principal, and Sister Regina Terese, SP, studied at Notre Dame. 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 Mary Christyn, SSXD, and Sister Janet, SP, selected the University of Detroit and Sisters Patricia Eileen, and Jean Patrice, SP, attended De Paul in Chicago. In Indiana, Sister Mary Fa- bian had classes at State Teach- ers College, Sister Francis Bor- gia, SSND, at Saint Joseph, Miss Maria Toledo at Saint Francis, and Mr. Jim Delaney at IIT. 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

jeptember 10, 1963 SHAMROCK (JSuSu Iq nat ' r Dian It ' s that time of year again, and here ' s your chance for a clean start. Freshmen, you have a great advantage. You ' ll find that good, hard, earnest work will make your graduation day a fruitful one. There will be ac- tivities and events to lure your attention away from your pur- pose in school. Don ' t YOU be the senior who has wasted three years and is faced with a terrific amount of cramming in his last year. You will find that if you keep up with your subjects throughout the years, you ' ll be able to enjoy those games and dances without the thought of homework yet to be done. It ' s really so simple that only the foolish can think that they will get by. Take it from me, they won ' t. High school is hard only for those who make it that way. So freshmen: look alive! Your fu- ture is in your hands. Let ' s see if your class can ' t be the one that has enough integrity to stand out and do the right thing. By now many upperclassmen have arrived at the thought well it ' s too late for me. But it isn ' t. If you ' ve wasted any time, don ' t give up the ship. Make this year the one to re- member. You should know your mistakes and watch to overcome them. You know some of the Bauer greatest helps to you are your teachers. They ' re there to help you, but do you ever ask for their aid? As each day goes by, pay keen attention to your teachers ' instructions and heed their hints. When finals come you ' ll be ready and won ' t sufi ' er through last-minute cramming and sleeplessness. CC Teens Prove Ability At State Kent Wall was elected Super- intendent of Schools at the 1963 session of Indiana Boys ' State. Tom Spice and John Mauch also participated. Virginia Hasley was CC ' s rep- resentative to Indiana Girls ' State. Students at these sessions, which are held at Indiana Uni- versity, learn the principles of government and set up their own state and cities, electing a gov- ernor, mayors, and other offi- cials. CC ' s delegate to Girls ' State, Ginger Hasley (right), relates her experiences to Cindy Loraine (upper photo), while Boys ' State delegates Tom Spice and Kent Wall look over some of their souve- nirs. John Mauch was absent when the photo was taken. Bond Initiates Year ' s Program Squad Seven, led by John Connell and Ruth Krauskopf, copped top honors at the eighth annual Band Camp held at Lake SSC Previews Many Plans For Coming Spiritual Year During the school year, the occurrence of monthly activities will be those familiar to that particular month. Some of these are part of tradition at CC — the Living Rosary, various no- venas, remembrance of feast days, spiritual bouquets, and May crowning. Others are reappearing from last year ' s file because of stu- dent reaction — reports from the Summer School of Catholic Action; rally for Christ the King during Catholic Youth Week; prayers for poor souls; Family Consecration to the Sa- cred Heart; and various discus- sion days. Under the direction of Sister Janet, SP, the Student Spiritual Council has taken on an entirely new look. It is limited in members to the sophomore, junior, and sen- ior classes. The newly elected officers for 1963-64 are Daniel Hoban, president; Mary Shir- meyer, vice president; Julie Motherwell, secretary; Mary Ann Miller, treasurer; and Kent Wall, Fighting 69th captain. Beginning Sept. 16, each class will conduct its separate meet- ings in Room 400. To further the school in its spiritual growth, members must pledge themselves to certain require- ments. Wawasee Aug. 18-24. CC band director Mr. Joseph M. Woods was in charge of the camp. Underclassmen of Squad Seven were Sue Bruns, Judy Thomas, Carol Thieme, Joe Sey- fert, and Mike Rueswald. Second place winner was Squad One with Bob Miller and Sondra Wuttke as leaders. Dave Hess, Tom Mavis, Dan Mc- Maken, Jack Yonkman, and Phil Nicole completed the squad. Tying for third place was Squad Four headed by Fran Hazelton and Jerry Koch, and Squad Nine with Dick Helmsing and Carolyn Bauman as its heads. Other members of Squad Four were Pete Iversen, Steve Mil- ler, Steve Spindler, Mary Lou Thieme, Audrey Osterholt, and Debbie Winter. Completing Squad Nine were Ron Gunkle, Greg Snoke, Tom Steele, Milton Woods, and Dan Hettiger. There was a three-way tie for the best squad leads with John Connell, Fran Hazelton, and Bob Miller taking honors. Dick Helmsing and Ellen Pausig were voted second and third- place leaders respectively. The purpose of the camp is to prepare the band for the com- ing scholastic year. This prepa- ration is made by drilling the squads, teaching the freshmen to march, and training for block band in half-time shows for the coming football season. Concert band rehearsals were held each evening. A variety of music was played, ranging from Shubert ' s Unfinished Sym- phony to Can Can for Band. The band gave a concert for the public Friday night. The audience was the largest ever, according to Mr. Woods. However, camp was not all work and no play. Evenings provided entertainment — danc- ing, a treasure hunt, a weiner roast, swimming, and a cruise on the Dixie Bell. 17
