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

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.

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

SHAMROCK September 10, 1963 Six Days You ' ll Never Forget 14 Attend SSCA Two Summer Schools of Catholic Action were attended by 14 CC delegates this summer. Although their purpose was the same, these SSCAs took place in vastly diiTerent settings. Connie Banet, Pat DeWald, and Patti Kiutz attended the SSCA which was held from June 10-14 at Our Lady of the Hills Camp, Hendersonville, N.C. The SSCA which took place in Chicago from August 18-24 was attended by Greg Bruno, Mary Chandler. Pat DeWald, Patricia Hartman, Dan Hoban, Bob Hollo, Patti Kintz, Mary Sue Lassen, Monya Meyer, Sharon Parrot, lary Schirmeyer, Anne Sommers and Lynn Wernet. Both Summer Schools were aimed at forming young Catho- lic adults to bring the world closer to Christ. The delegates attended a series of electives de- signed to make them realize School Reminisces (Continued from Page 1) good old library doors separated the guys from the girls. Woe be to anyone who crossed the dividing line. And how the clothes have changed! Dorothy was really chic the first day she came to me — a navy blue jumper and those fashionable black oxford shoes. The boys wore what they wanted just as they do now. Then there was the first school paper, our pride and joy, a mimeographed sheet with all the school news. I ' ll never forget the first class rings. What a thrill it was to pL-ik them out! A red stone with a crest was chosen, and Christ of Lewis Street framed each side. Now there are college-like rings, with oval stones and gold frames; but my Christ of Lewis Street still decorates the side. He is one thing that has lasted all this time. Well, I g ' j.ess I ' d better quit thinking about the past and look forward. There are three Catho- lic high schools in Fort Wayne now, but I hope they will not do away with me. I hope I ' ll be here for years to come so I ' ll always be somebody ' s alma m-ater. their responsibility to others. These sessions, geared especially for the high school student, pre- sent a tremendous opportunity for better understanding of the world in which each must soon take his place. CC delegates who have at- tended it agree that the SSCA lives u)) to its motto of Six days you will never forget! Hoban, Walsh Invited To Enter Compef fion Two CC students, senior Dan Hoban and junior Michael Walsh, have been invited to ap- ply for participation in a series of Youth Congresses now being arranged by the National Sci- ence Teachers Association. Both students will enter a pa- per on their science project of last year for participation in a Regional Congress during Octo- ber, where they will present Some of the students who attended the Summer School of Catholic Action in Chicago and in Hendersonville, North Carolina, met for a discussion. Seated are Mary Lynn Chandler, Monya Meyer, Anne Sommers, and Mary Ann Schirmeyer. Standing are Greg Bruno, Bob Hollo, Sharon Parrot, Pat Hartman, Patti Kint z, Mary Sue Lassen, and Connie Banet. Quintet Leads Cheering Old pros are returning to lead the Irish cheers for another year. Back again are captain Margaret McLaughlin, Patti Kintz, Cindy Pease, Joanie Sau- ter, and Terry Hoog. Margaret, knov n as Mike to nearly everyone, thinks cheer- ing is really it. This veteran of last year ' s games attended the Red Cross Convention at Mi- ami College, Oxford, Ohio, this summer. After high school Mike plans to study interior decora- tion at Saint Francis College. Patti says, It ' s a lot of work, but I love it. This blue-eyed blonde attended the Summer School of Catholic Action in North Carolina and in Chicago. Patti says, I want to go to Saint Francis and study lan- guages. Cindy stiil can ' t believe be- ing elected to the squad. She finds it an honor. During the summer Cindy rode to Massa- chusetts with her grandparents and a cousin to visit historical places. She hasn ' t decided whether to be an interior deco- rator or a playwright. Joanie replied, It ' s terrific. I just live for the games, when asked how she felt about being a cheerleader. This gal traveled to the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri during the summer. Business college is in her future plans. Red-headed Terry explained that being a yell leader is a good v ay to learn co-ordination and meet people. Besides working at Woolworths, she belongs to a competitive swim- ming team. This ambitious girl plans to go to college and later become an airline hostess. their papers and meet NATA of- ficials for three days. The Regional Congress is cul- minated by a National Youth Science Congress in Washing- ton, D.C. in November. Three students will represent each of the ten Regional Congresses at this National Congress. The program does not offer any monetary awards, as the participants derive their re- wards from regional and na- tional recognition. Dan ' s project is on The Ef- fects of Heat on Stainless Steel and Titanium while Mike ' s proj- ect deals with Base Five. Mr. Storey Resigns After Eleven Years After 11 years. Mi-. Robert Storey, a full-time English and speech teacher at South Side High School, has resigned as di- rector of Central Catholic plays. He cites mounting pressures as his reason for quitting. When Mr. Storey started di- recting in 1952, the plays were put on in the old Civic Theater on Berry Street. His first pro- duction was Meet Carliff Archer by F. U. Herbert. In 1957 the plays were moved to the present Civic Theater, where they were produced for two years. Since then the plays have been performed in the CC gym. The last of these was Murder in a Nunnery by Em- mett Lavery. Mr. Storey calls his associa- tion with CC an enjoyable one. Turtles Trail Back To CC CC ' s annual Candy Sale drive will begin Sept. 26 and end Oct. V. Following a meeting of home- room representatives at 12:45, the candy will be distributed to the student body at an assembly in the gym at 1:45. Students will sell Seaway chocolate turtles and assorted chocolates. Prizes, bigger and better than ever according to Father H a m m o n d, will be awarded. 18
