SHAMROCK September 11, 1964 Five New Yell Leaders To Cheer For Irish Pictured here from left to right are cheerleaders Dcbby hocli, Joan Saiiter, Helen Romano, Cindy Pease and Suzy Piepenbrink. ( JUs id Terry Donahue, Wake up ! The election of is your responsi- class officers bility. Here is where the immediate question arises. Wlio are those individuals that can maturely represent their class? Well, you say, What about the boy with A Let ' s take a look at the pres- tige and problem-packed class office and see what it demands of the winning candidate. A class office is, and was es- tablished to be, a unifying force. It should merge the individual students with their classmates so as to foster cooperation rather than competition. A class office is similar to a machine if manipulated with care and forethought it can pro- duce only success. An example of this would be a student sen- ate or also a class cabinet se- lected by the officers to head in- dividual class activities. A class office is unlike any other position in respect to its responsibility. It demands the winning candidates constant awareness, for though he may hold the most power he will be the first to be judged by his classmates in all situations be them spiritual, social or aca- demic. A class office is an honorable challenge which only a few are allowed to meet. It demands and receives the respect of the stu- dents that make it, and in turn they must demand and receive from those who fill it. ece6 Candy Cronkhite the flashy new sports car, or the sharpest gal in school? Ask yourself still more about these candidates. Can the en- tire student body be proud of them? Will they hold up the standards of both their school and class? Think about your candidates dependability, integrity, and loyality. Will they always be ready to support their school whether it be the candy drive, or the cheering of the football team on to victory? Your choice should sincerely be the persons who will do their duties for the best gain of his or her class, and not merely for the honor and glory of being in office. Busy tuning voices and plan- ning new cheers, the cheerlead- ers are anxiously awaiting their first game. Leading the varsity squad this year will be the captain, Helen Nine CC Students Hold Squire Posts Nine members of the Colum- bian Squires, Post 1708, will serve the club in their newly elected offices. Mark Blackwell, senior, heads as Chief Squire, assisted by Deputy Chief Squire, Alan Ben- nett, senior. Performing duties as notary, bursar, marshall and sentry are seniors Terry Dona- hue, Dan McVey, Ed Auer and Pete Schmitt, respectively. Larry Steinbacher and Steve Miller are pole captains. The club of 18 members is holding the first of their trian- nual membership drives. Any boy interested in applying for membership is requested to no- tify Mark Blackwell. Romano, who still can ' t believe it. This bright-eyed brunette hails from Queen of Angels Par- ish, where she is active in its CYO. A member of the SHAM- ROCK staff, Helen hopes to en- ter B ' larquette University next fall to major in journalism. Though a veteran of two years Cindy Pease still thinks cheer- leading is too wonderful to be true. After graduation, Cindy plans to attend Indiana Univer- sity and eventually become a mathematics teacher. Juniors Suzy Piepenbrink Joanie, thinks cheerleading is terrific. This gal spent two weeks this summer with her family in Yellowstone National Park. Joanie ' s plans for the fu- ture lie in the business field. Suzy. who led the reserve and Debbie Koch find cheerlead- ing a great honor and a won- derful opportunity. Susie, who led the reserve squad last year, is back for an- other year after spending most of her vacation swimming and skiing at Lake James. Debbie, an active member of the Red Cross, spent much of her time this summer as a vol- unteer at a local hospital. She also spent a week with her family at Yellowstone. With the help of the student body, and a lot of school spirit, these lasses hope to cheer the Irish to many victories during the coming season. The reserve team will be cheered on by captain Debbie Haifley, Kathy Hogan, and Nancy Romary. Go Irish — Beat Those Cadets! 26

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

September 11, 1964 SHAMROCK Irish Prepared For Big Season . ,T V TM.- r» - — n + (i= irtiQr fiTp Mr. Robe Head football coach, Mr. Wil liam Smith, will have a nucleus of 25 letternien from last year ' s team to hopefully form a city championship winner. Fifty-seven boys, in all, have answered the call: 17 seniors, 24 juniors, and 16 sophomores. Having- at least two letter winners at all spots except full- back, all positions are wide open and everyone is battling hard for the starting posts. Jim McKiernan (L), John Teders (L), and Bill Weber (L) are all eager for the nod to start as center. Competing for the guard spots are no less than seven players: Paul Schoenle (L), Don Schroe- der (L), and Don Kimes (L) along with Jim DeRose, Mike Gage, Tom Roach (L), and John Roussel (L). Tackles Stan Sitko (L) and Denny Weissert (L) are being pushed hard by Keith Groman (L), Rick Lobrillo (L), and John Main. Battling at ends are Bill Frantz (L), Mike Pranger (L), Steve Smith (L), also Dan Phil- lips (L), and Steve Neizer. Ron Stanski (L) is being threatened at the quarterback spot by Terry Martin (L). At the halfback slots are Stan Dilley (L), Tony Kolarik (L), Bob Schaab (L), Mike Statz (L), and Neil Kobi. Challenging Bob Boedecker (L) at the fullback position are sophomores Dave Dowden and Lee Gorman. Coach Smith feels, basically we have the foundation for a fine ball team, but it ' s going to take a lot of work to achieve the success the team is capable of. Ably assisting Coach Smith this year are Mr. Robert Bakle, Mr. Michael Mitchell, and Mr. James Delaney, all returning from last year, and Mr. Edward Morris, a gradviate from St. Joseph ' s College. (L) indicates letterman. This year ' s schedule is as fol- lows: Fri.,Sept. 11 — Concordia Sat., Sept. 19 — Muncie South Sat., Sept. 26 — South Bend St. Joseph ' s Sat., Oct. 3 — South Bend Central Fri., Oct. 10 — Bishop Luers Fri., Oct. 16 — Central Fri., Oct. 23 — North Side Fri., Oct. 30 — Anderson Fri., Nov. 6 — South Side Indicates home game New Gridiron Coach Is Dayton Graduate CC is most fortunate to have Mr. William Smith, University of Dayton standout, as the head football coach for this coming season. Mr. Smith graduated from Hamilton Catholic High School in Hamilton, Ohio. After serv- ing in the Army he entered the University of Dayton. There he filled the halfback spot being named the most valuable player as a junior and piloted the team in his senior year as the captain. Adrian Central High School was Mr. Smith ' s first coaching assignment. After two years, and a very respectable won-lost record, he returned to the Uni- versity of Dayton to take over the freshman squad for two years. Mr. Smith then became the head backfield coach for three years before coming here to start his first year as coach for CC. I am very much impressed with CC, says Coach Smith. Together with my wife and four children, I find all the peo- ple of Fort Wayne very con- genial. kt7r ' ed ' al,oNe .. a ..egmcat of CC ' s rugged football team after one of their bruising practice sessions.

With this new season and the strong squad that CC has, I would like to ask you a question. How does a school re- ceive the title of Football Champion? Is it through the efforts of the flashy, high scoring offense or that stone wall defense? Is it that solid bench strength or the bril- liant coaching? All of these things are needed and even more. The support of the principal, faculty and parents is needed. The cheerleaders, cheering block, and fans should be included, also. CC has everything that is needed to bring the title home. The Big Irish have a good offense, tough de- fense, a strong bench, and brilliant coaching. CC has the support of the princi- pal, faculty and parents. The purple and gold have excellent leadership in their five cheerleaders. Everyone is ready and everything is prepare d. However, there is one last hurdle. Are you ready to do your part? Are you joining the Central Catho- lic team ? Now is the time to take your stand. If you are with the team, buy a season tic- ket and dig in for a rough schedule. Attend the games with a strong voice and let everyone know who you are for by chanting the cheers. When you hear the band strike up, Cheer, Cheer For Old CC High, sing out with everything you have. The great cause for which the entire team is fighting will then be truly realized. 27
