SHAMROCK September 11, 1964 Principal Speaks To You Prudence Averts Disaster The teenage years are a perpetual source of interest to psy- chologists. Doctor X looks at your personality and he sees a landscape full of contrasts. He sees tall, beautiful trees, perhaps a mountain. He sees a deep ravine where lies a turbulent stream. The place looks calm but there is a strong wind blowing and a thunderhead hovers on the horizon. Sounds fanciful, doesn ' t it? Well, we do think of tall, soaring ambitions and energies in adolescence, ideals and dreams that reach the clouds. But that giant Redwood ' s root is touched by a stream, an ung ' uided, fitful yearning for independence — the independence that no longer buys the literal advice of Mother and Dad. This yearning reaches out, like the bubbling stream into strange places, seeking its own level, looking for security and meaning among other insecure, searching streams — and when they come together, their energy is spent in a meaningless confoimity to the crowd. The danger is that the ideal drops and the storm comes and the landscape is strangely altered as the ti-ee comes crashing down. A Catholic high school, its staff and faculty, have no other pur- pose than to avert such disasters. If there is one single benefit which you must get from high school, from contact with adults (and your friends) during these years, it is the ability to exercise critical judgment and choice. You must size up the world and its claims — you must learn to sift the smooth words of politicians, (and editorials like this) to analyze the anemic reasoning of ad- vertising in all of its forms. And most of all, in the immoi ' al and unmoral age in which we live, we must learn to judge with the mind of Christ, to judge the world and its offering of pleasure and possessions. This judgment is Prudence and if we can lay secure hold on this, we will acquire all the other virtues. At the beginning of the school year, I would like to make my own the words of St. Paul: This is my prayer for you: May your love grown richer yet, in the fullness of its knowledge and the depth of its perception, so that you may learn to prize what is of value ; may nothing cloud your conscience or hinder your progress till the day when Christ comes. (Phil. 1, 9 and 10.) HERE ue CO RQPil V BftCR irv) AfU IRISH SZ€uiB i Assuming The Proper Attitude The years immediately ahead of you can be a dy- namic, exciting experience of learning or they can merely be a combination of dull assignments necessary to get a diploma. The difference between the t ' wo extremes lies almost entirely within your control. It is dependent upon your readiness to make good use of the many opportuni- ties for learning which are to be found outside of the regular classroom situation. One of the richest sources of knowledge for you to tap is the faculty. Teachers are ready and willing to meet with the students in discussion groups covering many subjects, one of which might prove to be of special interest to you. You have at your disposal the organizations which enable you to meet with other students in pursuit of simi- lar extracurricular interests. Whether the group per- tains to your future vocational plans or a special interest, much can be gained through these meetings. Heading For Failure? Have you heard about the lackadaisical young man, the failure? He is the one who has procrastinated by devious means and has reached his own goal of unfulfillment. In the final showdown it is this enemy of procrastination which lurks in the darkness ready to snuff out the light of ambition. Is this your aim in life? How easily your zeal can be weakened by your fear of failure. How easily it can be endangered by your lack of interest in coming years. How easily you can destroy it with the lowering of your mox ' al principles. You can decide that being human is just too risky a business and that it is much more comfortable to let others make your de- cisions for you. Or you can decide that you are going to call your owni signals, that you are going to be free no matter what the cost might be. You are starting a new school year, perhaps your last high school year. Begin to plan your future now. Procrastination could well mean failure in life. Ignorance Breeds Choos Ignorance is bliss is a very well-known adage. But is it really bliss ? Ignorance breeds fear and fear is one of the most powerful and dangerous of human emotions. In this fast- moving age we cannot live in fear. We must overcome it. To know our adversaries and the evils threatening our democracy is imperative. Without well-informed citizens a democracy cannot function properly. If it is a people ' s government then the people must know how to run it. As students in a free democracy, we must be well- informed citizens. Twenty-one is not the age to begin a study of our government and its mechanics, but now.

SHAMROCK September 11, 1964 With Classes And Clubs Civics C! The officers and the various chairmen of Civics Club activi- ties have many things in store for the coming school year. They hope that the student body will enjoy and benefit much from them. Eight dances and record hops are on schedule for the year. These dances are highlighted by the Halloween Dance which oc- curs on All Saints Eve itself, by the traditional Holiday Hop and Victory Dance, and by the Mardi Gras Dance which will close CC ' s regular season of basketball. From these dances and hops the club will be able to contribute to the support of other school or- ganizations w- h i c h have no source of income. From the same the Civics Club can make added schooh de improvements. GAA The GAA elected officers for the new school year. Filling the posts mil be Kathy Carteaux, president; Margaret McAfee, vice-president; Linda Steokbeck, treasurer; Linda Snyder, fresh- man-senior point secretary; and Martha Dumas, sophomore-jun- junior point secretary. Miss Heighway is the organization ' s moderator. Missions Central Catholic ' s unit of the Catholic Student Mission Cru- sade (CSMC) is moderated by Sister Marie Hildegarde. Sister and the officers, Sulyn Ferry, president; Tom Alter, vice-presi- dent; Jean Douglas, treasurer; Barb Smith, recording secretary; Ann Giant, corresponding secre- tary; and Judy King, spiritual treasurer; will manage the mis- sion money collected every two weeks in each homeroom. As is customary, the bulletin board opposite the second floor office will present the efforts of the homerooms. Sister Marie Hildegarde, SP, is fairly certain that there will be no Christmas card sale this year because, as she stated, I don ' t think we make enough from these sales for the mis- sions. Sister added that she and the officers are trying to think of another way to pay their expenses. Most of the money collected goes to missions in Auquipa, Peru, and Formosa. ub Plans The Civics Club leaders have placed a suggestion box near the middle stairway on the third floor of the school. This box will give all the students ample op- portunity to convey any problem that may seem of concern to the school. The Civics Club officers, president, Bob Kinney; vice- president, Terry Donahue; secre- tary. Sue Gerardot; treasurer, Ginny Miller, will see to it that all matters of importance are given the proper attention. Red Cross Plans for an active Red Cross have been outlined and set up by Sister Francis Gertrude, SP, Red Cross moderator. As any other organization, the Red Cross could not get along without its officers, who are Anita Sanborn, president; Monya Meyer, vice-president; Mary Richardson, secretary; and Ann Steinau, treasurer. The first activity slated for the year is the city-wide mem- liership drive, held annually to achieve a goal of 100 per cent student enrollment in the High School Red Cross Program. Visits to the Allen County Children ' s Home, the State School, and Glenacers Nursing Home are among a few of the other activities on the agenda for the coming school year. Daughters Of Mary Before leaving her post as moderator of the Daughters of Mary, Sister Francis Borgia, SSND, appointed this year ' s offi- cers of the organization. Monya Meyer was selected president; Betty Davenport, secretary; Kathy Carteaux, treasurer; Cheryl Bradly, social chairman. Julia I ' ichon and Liliane Kruse are in charge of the attendance records. The monthly meeting of the Senior Daughters of Mary will be held on the first Wednesday of the month. The juniors will meet on the follo ving day. Highlighting this year ' s sched- ule of drives and projects will be the Thanksgiving Food Drive, the Christmas Clothing Drive, and visits to the hospitals. Any senior or junior girl who does not already belong to this organization and is interested in membership should contact her homeroom representative. Sons Of Mary The Sons of Mary, an organi- zation devoted to Our Blessed Mother, will begin its 11th year at Central Catholic this fall. Under the guidance of newly elected officers the senior mem- bers can expect a well-rounded course of activities. New officers are Terry Dona- hue, president; Bob Kinney, vice- president; Jlike Floyd, secre- tary; and Mike Cox, treasurer. Along with the new officers come varied ideas of interesting proj- ects for the coming year. Among these are car washes, visiting convalescents, entertaining or- phans, saying the rosary and ob- serving first Saturday. As in -all previous years the main objective of the Sons of Mary is to bring out the best in a youth. Bob Kinney stated: Through participation in such activities the members will be- come Christian ideals of purity and manliness. Art Club Miss Carolyn Petrucelle, CC art instructor, is resuming re- sponsibility as moderator of the Art Club this year. Miss Petru- celle hopes to follow the exam- ple set by Sister Jean Patrice, SP, and keep up the posters to foster interest in CC ' s various organizations and activities. In addition to this, she would like to try something new, such as occasional Saturday field trips to local shows, studios, and activi- ties related to art. Miss Petru- celle hopes the Art Club will be able to go to Chicago or Detroit to visit an art museum during Easter vacation. The officers, chosen last year, are Su Geradot, president; Sally LaPointe, vice-president; Ronald Reeves, secretary; and Rose Vorndran, treasurer. Mr. Ort Departs Central Catholic faculty re- cently met to bid farewell to Mr. Robert Ort, who is beginning his graduate work this fall. Mr. Ort taught at CC from 1959 to 1964. During his stay at our school he was an instructor of English, literature, and govern- ment. Eleven new teachers were also welcomed to the school staff. Science Club Guest speakers, a film, and field trips are in the offing for Science Club members, according to Monica Reitzug, new presi- dent. A prominent psychologist, ge- ologist, and surgeon will address the club on specific topics in their fields. College students do- ing research work may also aid the club by speaking on topics which will interest every stu- dent. The other officei ' S, Tony Brug- geman, vice-president; Ed Hake, treasurer; Judy Hoffman, cor- responding secretary; and Karen Obringer, recording secretary; with Sister Winifred, SP, mod- erator, are also planning trips to various plants. Classics Book Club Continuing this year under the leadership of Miss Petru- celle, Mr. James McClintock, and Mr. Lee Horn is the Classic Book Club of Central Catholic. A read- ing list for the year, containing the contemporary works of the past and present, will be pub- lished in the October issue of the SHAMROCK. Speech Club Officers and coordinating mod- erators have been named for the Speech Club. Moderators are Mr. Lee Horn and Mr. Thomas Kaough. New officers are Mike Floyd, presi- dent; Jim Waldron, vice-presi- dent; Bob Kinney, secretary; and Terry Donahue, treasurer. Pictured above are students who participated in the summer jour- nalism session at the University of Detroit. Left to right are Anne McNelis, Indianapolis Sce- eina, Lynda Kelker, and Ed Auer, CC. 24
