GE UNIO For twenty years, Kapaun students have participated in Stage Union, an honorary thespian organization which gives credit and recognition to students in the theatrical arts. For an interested student to be eligible for membership in Stage Union, he must work for 100 hours in theater, be it on crew, or in the cast. The students that are accepted into the club must prove themselves worthy by performing in front of already initiated members at the Golden Masque Awards Banquet. The members of the thespian society have a chance to shine in their once a year performance. This year, the play was Philemon, based upon an incident that took place in the Roman city of Antioch in 287 A.D. The play is open only to Stage Union members, and is completely funded by the organization. More than anything, Stage Union gives students a chance to show their talents without inhibition and a chance to make new and close friends that share the same interests as they have. It can be said that Stage Union is one big happy family! tAbove Rightj The balding Paul Genilo plays the part of Mr. Depinna in, You Can'l Take lt With You. tRighU Paul Genilo, Mike Moore, and Roger Hipp give their all in the Stage Union's presentation of.

KMC entered an army tank to represent the life of Chaplain Ka- paun, a Korean war veteran, who founded Kapaun in 1955. Assisted by some helpful KMC students Fr. Melaragno portrayed the heroic Chaplain while Coach Kriwiel played soldier. This was one of those once-in-life-time events which will never be witnessed by any of us ever again!!

SJ 'K MARTS! The National Honor Society recognizes students who display scholarship, leadership, service, and character in school and community activities. Stu- dents who maintain a GPA over 3.4 are eligible for NHS. Twice a year, the faculty vote on those peo- ple after reviewing the students' activity sheets, finally selecting only 8? of the KMC enrollment. The chosen students are inducted at a special Mass. NHS members ushered at the spring musical and at Commencement ceremonies. They ran the Penny Toss booth at Carnival, sold suckers, spon- sored a Jeans Day, and tutored students. NHS annually gives a scholarship to a needy student using the money raised throughout the year. College Bowl is an academic activity sponsored by NHS that quizzes members over a broad field of knowledge. The questions emphasize liberal arts, sciences, and language. This year's team, consist- ing of Ken Padgett, Chris Zoller, Chris Garcia, Eric Guinan, and Roger Hipp, worked with Miss Raglin to prepare for weekly tournaments. They proved victorious by winning the regional competi- tion and advancing to the first Kansas State Col- lege Bowl Competition. The Hi-Q team, composed of Ken Padgett, Chris Zoller, Chris Garcia, Eric Guinan, Eric Heath, Roger Hipp, and team manager Gretchen Braun, placed 13th out of l00 teams in the Super Saturday competition in El Dorado. With Miss Raglin's help, the KMC High-Q team was one of sixteen teams to compete on KAKE-TV. The College Bowl and High-Q teams spent many hours practic- ing for tournaments and matches. Their large col- lection of trophies show that these practices paid off well. tTopJ tfrom left to rightj College Bowl: E. Heath, Coach Rag- lin, E. Guinan, C. Zoller, K. Padgett, R. Hipp, C.
