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

September 11, 1964 S H A M R O C K icid Father Hammond Reveals Joys Jtem And Satisfactions Of Teaching This year the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test w-ill be given Oct. 13. Seniors will have an opportunity to take their College Boards at CC Dec. 5. The juniors will take the Na- tional Merit Qualifying Test on March 9. On the same day the sophomores and freshmen will be given the National Educational Development Test. Bill Coonan attended Boys ' State at Indiana University June 5 to 13. Mildred Reed partici- pated in Girls ' State June 28 to July 5. Their alternates were Virginia Miller and Robert Kin- ney. Peter Iverson, senior, partici- pated in a Greek math program at Notre Dame University on a grant from the National Science Fair. The program entailed courses in linear algebra and toxology. Forty students were selected for this program from all parts of the U.S. and Canada. Paul Marciniak completed a six-week National Science Foun- dation Research Participation program at Indiana University. He also took part in the univer- sity ' s High School Science Stu- dent Institute. Mike Sam Walsh is touring Europe these days, taking in the scientific knowledge which the continent has to otfer. Appar- ently he is taking in the sights, too. According to the Middlesex, Father Hammond Father Hammond has been a teacher, friend, confidant and confessor at CC for 12 years. In 19.32 students knew Father Hammond as their senior re- ligion and speech teacher. He also taught U.S. history and was moderator of the school yearbook, Echo, for four years. In May, 1960, the Most Rev- erend Bishop Leo A. Pursely of Fort Wayne, appointed Father Hammond principal of CC. As school administrator, Father Hammond appears to some as a genie, endowed with unlimited khh Elf Visits S Hi kids! I dropped in to CC because I ' d heard it was the Home of the Irish. Then I saw- that door marked SHAMROCK and I knew that was where I ' d stay. You see, I ' m a genuine Irish leprechaun. England, police, he is also taking in girls. He was accosted, (at 1:30 a.m. no less) by a German girl who told him that she had been attacked and pleaded for his help. Mike escorted her to the appropriate authorities. There th? girl told her story, mixing English and German so artfully that the police thought that Walsh was the assailant. Mike managed to explain his dilemma to the authorities and was re- leased with apologies. ' 64 Grads In Many Fields Approximately 80% of CC ' s ' 64 gi-aduates are continuing their education this fall, accord- ing to a SHAMROCK query which half of that class an- swered last spring. About two-thirds of the boys and two-fifths of the girls are in college. Of these, one-third are taking a liberal arts course. Teaching is the goal of the ma- jority of the girls, while the boys prefer engineering. Twelve per cent of these graduates would like a degree in the natural sciences. A career in business administration or ac- counting draws the same per- centage. Fourteen per cent of last year ' s seniors are now attending business schools for secretarial, IBM, and comptometer training. Another four per cent are devel- oping manual skills at trade schools. Twenty-five girls have decided on a nursing career. Several are at various Midwestern hospitals, while others are receiving their training at college. Four per cent of the boys are in the armed forces. The ma- jority chose the Air Force, but the Class of ' 64 is also repre- sented in the other branches. Of the former students 11%, three-fourths of whom are girls, have already entered the work- ing world. Almost one-fourth of these would like to continue their formal education later. Dan Loney and Teresa Schuler have entered the religious life. Unfortunately, that ' s all I can tell you about myself. It seems I lost my memory on the trip over from Ireland. Why, I can ' t even tell you my name. Your SHAMROCK staff has offered me a home here in the paper. Yep! I ' ll be here. Of course, I ' ll need a name. That ' s where you come in. We ' ve decided to hold a contest. The boy or girl who names me will receive a free SHAMROCK sub- scription. If you have any ideas, and I hope you will, submit them to the SHAMROCK representative in your homeroom. The contest will begin Sept. 8 and all names must be in by Sept. 19. The winning name will be chosen by Mrs. Daszewski, new staff advisor, and the SHAM- ROCK editors. The winners will be announced in the next issue of the SHAMROCK. See vou then ! powers, seeming to be every- where at once. To others he is that voice over the loud speaker, relating the time to the exact second, or ad- monishing certain people w ' ith a definite, I ' d like to see you at 3; 20. Still others feel his spirit throughout CC by daily Mass in the chapel, by guidance coun- selors w-ho are available at all times, by daily confession, his reading of scripture each morn- ing, and by his blessing at night. His former students com- ment, Father Hammond was always interested in us. He al- ways stayed after class to crack a joke or just talk . . . you could talk to him about anything! In conclusion Father Ham- mond said, Whatever joy, whatever comfort or satisfac- tion I or any teacher finds at CC is summed up in the single experience (and this happens many times), of one teenager emerging from confusion, hesi- tation and doubt, into real ma- turity, real conviction, real vision. When this conviction and this vision are, in a measure, the con- viction, the vision of Christ, then this can only be a joy, sur- passing all joys. TIC Elects Smith, Plans Active Year The Teacher ' s Interest Club is an organization composed of juniors and seniors interested in a teaching career. Yearly dues buy the materials used by the members to help teachers correct assigmnents and tests, a project of TIC. Roberta Smith, president, con- ducts the meetings which are held once a month. She is as- sisted by Ilene McDonald, vice- president; Gary Walker, secre- tary; and Linda Snyder, treas- urer. Their moderator is Sister Michael Aquinas, SP. These meetings are often highlighted by a guest speaker, talking on some phase of his pj-ofession. The purpose of TIC, states Roberta, is to further develop our interest in teaching. 25
