Beloit, Wisconsin ARISTA Welcomes You To BCHS Page 2 September, 1964 Fairbanks Plaza- Help or Hindrance? LLLL pRO I am in favor of the new shopping center as an aid. to Beloit and a chance for city improvement. Its location is easily accessible to most Beloiters and promises enjoyable surroundings. V) A sorts IP Co N A new construction in a town such os Beloit is usually considered by the residents as a good and progressive thing. The large shopping center, now going up at the site of the old Fairbanks golf course, has been anticipated by the people for almost two years now. But there is a group who will never anxiously await the grand opening. They are the merchants in town. One individual person may find no advantages in the shopping center as of now, but as a service to Beloit it seems to have many good points. New jobs for stu- dents, shopping convenience, and ample parking space will be provided for by the shopping center. There are probably some disadvantages in any new project like this. All in all, however, the shopping center, Fairbanks Plaza, won’t be harmful. On the contrary, it will help in building a bigger and better Beloit. Sue Ryan ARISTA BELOIT CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL Beloit, Wisconsin A shopping center so close to town will hurt their business at a drastic rate. Many steady customers will resort to the center, not so much for quality as for convenience. Privately owned businesses that through the years have earned a good name are going to be eased out by the competitive chain companies. How can non-Beloit- ers give us the same friendliness and good products that Beloit wants? The way to build a bigger and better Beloit is up to those who know its law, its sites and its people. More than this, most of the stores downtown require out-of-town business. Visitors will be attracted to the center. Yes, the problem could be a serious one. How is this shopping center in Beloit going to affect your parents, your family, and you? Joanne Milatzo editor.......... ASSISTANT EDITOR . NEWS EDITOR..... FEATURE EDITOR . SPORTS EDITOR . . .

You will all have many questions to ask upper classmen such as ... where is room such and such, please? Perhaps one of your questions will be ... What clubs are offered to us as freshmen? There are many clubs which offer the opportunity for freshmen or upper class- men to join The Sodality is a spiritual club whose motto is, “To Jesus Through Mory.” During the school year the Sodality tries to do charitable deeds, such as sending bandages to the missions in Africa. The Library Guild is offered to freshmen toward the end of the school year. Members work in the library shelving books, checking passes, and doing many other tasks involved in library management. The Press club members learn about the publication of paper through their meeting and by actual experience of working on the school paper. Those interested in any form of medical work can join the Future Nurses club. For such organizations as the Pep club. Student Council, National Honor Society, YCS, and Letterman’s club, students are elected to membership. Please don't hesitate to osk any upperclassmen if you have any questions regarding the clubs.

Nellie Retires Position; Cafeteria Head Appointed Mrs. Nellis Bamlet is re- tiring this year after nine years of service to BCHS as the head cook. One of her assistants since 1958, Mrs. Louise Thibeau, will take over the position. The 75-year young cook began her career working at the Y In 1954, Nellie first served lunch to the BCHS student cafeteria. Faithful service to the school found her preparing breakfast for the priest at 6:00 a.m. each morning. The duties and responsibilities of our head- cook were met with her un- selfish efforts for betterment. On June 15 Nellie took a jet flight to Ireland for a reunion with her family. It was her first visit home since her coming to America in 1918. One sister she hadn't seen in 54 years. Upon her return on Aug. 1, she officially an- nounced that she would be unable to return to BCHS. Replacing her as head-cook will be Mrs. Louise Thibeau.

Nellie was a guest at a faculty dinner held at the Hotel Hilton Sept 4. Procedure in the cafeteria will remain primarily the same. The use of the school lunch tickets and milk cards will be continued. Page 4 September, 196 Clinics Claim Attention Of J-Students, Cheerleaders During the summer several junior and senior girls spent a part of their vacation attending various workshops and camps. Elizabeth Chamon and Diane Haffey spent two weeks, July 19-August 1, at a journal- ism workshop at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Diane’s instructor in news writing was Mr. Karwand, former journalism adviser at Memorial high school. Liz studied editorial writing and paper management under Mr. Bartness, head of the journalism department at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. All free time was spent working on assignments for next day’s classes. Both girls’ classes began at 6 a.m. and resumed later in the after- noon. These girls agreed it was two weeks of hard but profitable work. They were given the experience of being on the staff that published “The Apprentice”, a page in the “Cardinal”, the university campus paper. Jean Behrman travelled to the State University of Iowa in Iowa City for a journalism workshop from June 8-13. Most of her time was spent Jean Behrman displays her graduation certificate from a weeks study of journalism at the University of Iowa this “Which way to the laundry?” This was a familiar sound for Diane Haffey and Liz Charnon when they attended the journal- ism workshop in Madison. The girls not only worked hard studying journalism but they also had to do all of their own washing and ironing. summer. in attending classes conducted by Mr. Stratton, the journalism advisor at East high school in Des Moines, Iowa. At night the workshoppers were free to entertain themselves. At both workshops the full scope of journalism was covered by special lectures, films, and tours. Each one was climaxed by a graduation and awards assembly. Liz Chamon received an award for her work done on the paper she helped publish. Representing BCHS cheer- leaders at Camp All-American held at Williams Bay, July 12-15, were Barb Carter, Pat Choudoir, and Joanne Milatzo. The girls spent six hours each day in cheering. The rest of their time was devoted to swimming and exchanging cheers. Since Crusader cheerleaders belong to the United States Cheerleaders Association, they were able to enter contests held each night to determine an individual and team grand champion. Theta three varsity cheerleaders look heppy practicing new cheers they learned at summer cheerleading canp. They are (from left to right) Joanne Milatzo, Barb Carter, and Pat Choudoir. Don’t Look Now. But- Not all has remained the same at BCHS this summer. The building has been worked on inside and out. The newly varnished gym floor looks clear as glass. For the boys, a new set of lockers has been added to the locker room. BCHS library is growing larger with the addition of many new books. A faint paint smell can be noticed while passing the repainted biology lab and Room 16. Evidently, quite a bit of elbow grease has also been used on the desks. Have you been reading this paper for several ye rs and still don’t know what the name ARISTA means? ARISTA is a Greek woid which means the highest, the most, or the best. Freshmen Crowd Seniors Together High freshman enrollment and lack of space has resulted in placing seniors in one home- room rather than the usual two. Sister Mary Denise and Sister M. Gregory will be in full charge of the group. The seniors will meet in Smdy Hall, Room 3, leaving Room 14 for an underclassman homeroom. What Is YOUR Student Council? How does a student council help the school? What are the aims of our student council? The student council is composed of responsible stu- dents elected by the school body. It is necessary to have leaders in the student council to promote school activities and spirit. Art Kapitanoff, this year’s SC president, will be striving to add more Interest in this representative body. Goals of the student council are: to develop good habits of sportsmanship among the students; to better student- faculty relations and to build a school to be proud of. Members of the student council are club presidents, the class presidents, and a representative £rom each homeroom. Homeroom representatives will be chosen in the early part of September. September, 1964 Seniors Attend Badger State Two BCHS seniors attended Badger State conventions June 13-20. Potor Obligato attended Badger Boys State at Ripon State College, Ripon; Margaret FitzGerald attended Badger Girls State at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Peter Obligato and Margaret Fitzgerald compare notes on their Badger State experiences. The experiment in local and state government is sponsored annually by the American Legion and its auxiliary. Students at both conventions heard lectures by university professors and by local and state officials on various phases of our governing system. As they learned, the dele- gates experienced party cau- cuses, primary elections, and even inaugurations. Subjact matter at Girls State concentrated on the Legislative branches of govern- ment, while Boys State also included the executive and judicial branches. Sparetime activities at Boys State included compete- tive sports as well as a band. Citizens of Girls State limited themselves to a band, chorus, and daily newspaper. Part of the fun at both conventions, delegates agreed, was dorm life and getting a taste of what going to a col- lege is like. and Reviews The Lonely Life by Bette Davis Many young people wish and work to become actors or actresses. This is Miss Davis' own account of her struggles, successes, and defeats on the road to established stardom. The story itsejf is real and one can sympathize with the central figure. Because this is such a recent book (1962), the author is not unknown, nor has she totally disappeared from motion pictures. Antonin Dvorak, Composer from Bohemia by Claire Lee Purdy Claire Lee Purdy has been an outstanding biographer of musicians. This is one of five on composers in her very readable style. She weaves the story so skillfully that one must finish the book. For devotees of his music, this biography will give a picture of the background which made Dvorak the composer he was. , , Cl '.yS i ‘ '(C c tz- Sc -I zu . • e ? rCe.

Coach B amabo s “bid- ders” are banking on a revenge victory to kick off the season properly. Last year BCHS was shut out 7-6 in a close hard- fought game. Cooch Melvin is giving the team a final workout before the grid season begins with Monroe, September 11. Crusaders ‘Sweat It Out’ Through Practice Sessions Biggest Grid Turnout Ever Awaits Coach Coach Barnabo ts facing his first year in the SHARK Conference with the biggest turnout ever for a BCHS foot- ball team. Among the more than fifty contenders for positions an the team, are a dozen lettenaen who will make up a naclens for the team. These exper- einced lettermen a e equally placed between line and bach- field with center position the only one not claiming an ex- perienced hand. 210-pound Joe Bergeson is expected to start at center. He will be backed op by Jarir Pohl and Mike Messer. Two 169-ponad Oemors,. Art Kapitanoff and Jim Perkins, hold down guard positions. Tackles are expected to be Jim Carroll and David Laebke. Ends are Larry Scott mid Pete Piazza. They are backed by Pat Monahan, who will also see action. The backfield mill be jog- gled around. While Jimmy Davis is quarteMmcking. Don Smiley will flank. When Smiley is calling signals, both other regular halfbacks. Daw Master and A1 Kobus, will be in ac- tion. Experienced fallback, Don Marino will be sharing his position with janior Mike Peterson. Other linemen who will see Mr. Melvin is banking on more experience that will make use of a new blocking system to improve on last year’s results. As this is BCHS first year in the SHARK conference, an opening victory against Monroe could lift morale and raise team and school spirit action are Tom Pfaff, Glen Poburka, Brian Luebke, Steve Merlet and Rick Asplund. Among the halfbacks on reserve are Steve Kjomes, Bob Pospischil, Jan Toubl, Bemie Zickert and Dennis Broderick. Frank Polizzi will be quarter-back replacement. Letterman Mike Mowers was lost for the season with a fractured wrist. “Lift 'em up! Higher!! Higher!!! All right, hit it. On your backs for sit ups. Move!! Let’s go.” With these sounds an average football practice got underway, August 17. The Henry avenue practice field was filled with the yells and groans of fifty young aspirants who are hoping to help Beloit Catholic high school to a winning season. These boys sweated and ached for three weeks before school opened and every night during the school week. The typical morning prac- tice began at 9:30, after fif- teen minutes to half an hour of individual work. First boys took one lap around the field. This was followed by cal- isthenics. Then came the “agility drills” with the line men and comparable work by the backs. A little contact or scrim- mage ended the morning prac- tice at 11:00. Football players could rest at this time until 2 p.m. when it was time to dress for the afternoon practice. This practice was comparable to the morning one and finished at 4:30 p.m. Sports Notes Best wishes to Mike Mowers who broke his wrist in football practice. You'll be missed in 'the line Mike, but just come through in the basketball season. Jr A team is only as good as its backers—Get out and support the team at games and pep rallies. It could mean winning the game. Page 8 September, 1964 In the social spotlight this fall, coats keynote every occasion.

Thirty-one BCHS juniors and seniors took this test last spring. Mary Lou Finley has been chosen by the seniors to reign as queen at the BCHS Home- coming ceremonies. Members ot her court are senior Judy Oliver; junior, Terry Piazza; I'ophomore. Sue Dorr; and freshman,Sje Maloney. Choices were made by individual class voting. Homocoming '64 is here. To climax a week of prepara- tions for the big day, the traditional snake parade, fol- lowed by the usual enormous bonfire and pep rally will be held on Friday evening. Saturday, the official day of Homecoming, will begin with the meeting of the floats at Mechanics Green. The BCHS band, class floats, cheerleaders and the queen with her court will make up the parade beginning at 1 p.m. Halftime activities at the game will include coronation of the king and queen, judging of floats, and a field show given by the band under the direction of Mr. Farina.

Among the most obvious manifesta- tions of i� is spirit is the floats. The float committee of each class weighs all sug- gestions and decides how the float will be built. Committees complain of not receiving enough good suggestions. The floats will be judged at halftime. They are judged on the basis of originality, cleverness, slogan, and con- struction. The judges are chosen from the BCHS faculty members; one judge is also usually chosen from the op- posing school. After the festivities, the floats must be returned to tho place where they were built and dismantled there. Beloit Daily New6 photo formal alumni reunion will be held in the BCHS cafeteria under the direction of Dale Bach, Alumni association president. To complete festivities there will be a dance from 9 p.m. to midnight in the school auditorium. Its theme is appropriately, “Autumn Leaves' . Chairmen for the events are; dance - Nancy Buchko; parade - James West; bonfire - Peter Van Kampen; and floats senior, Pat Spano; junior, Richard Sandell; sophomore, Richard Asplund; and fresh- man, James Cousin. Father Pierick commends John Carlson and John Mc- Laughlin on the performance on the National Merit Scholar- ship pualifying Test John Carlson was a semifinalist while John McLaughlin re- ceived a letter of commenda- tion. John plans a career in archeology. This field has interested him since grade school days. He enjoys ancient history, does very well in Latin, and spends much time reading books about the ad- ventures of archeologists. Although a college has not yet been chosen, his destina- tion is Egypt and Crete, where he will learn more about the Minoan civilization. Next spring John will com- pete with fourteen thousand other semi finalists on a second examination. Merit scholarships are four year awards that assist the winners during college. ARISTA Rates All-Catholic' ARISTA has received the 'All Catholic” award pre- sented by the Catholic Press association for its Catholicity and excellence. Out of a pos- sible score of 1000 points, ARISTA earned 815 points. The school paper was rated “excellent” for its diffusion of Catholic activity. Other “excellent” ratings were the editorial content and the general appearance of the paper. The remaining sec- tions of the ARISTA were rated “good”. Page 2 October, 1964 Where Does Our Money Go? Many students seem to gripe about this matter because no one seems to know where our money really goes. As you read on maybe you'll wonder how our school runs on the money we give it. Is it really enough? The total income of BCHS, according to the 1963-64 account, was $113,263.52. Where did this money come from? Your answer - high school tuition brought in a total of $59,524.60. Subject fees, for such departments as typing, science, and business, brought in a total of $9,119.45. Extraordinary income gifts and donations. Home and School association, Music Guild chocolate sale and miscellaneous brought in a total of $8,924.26. Our total expenditures were $116,862.29. Expenditures for group insurance and salaries totaled $72,543.51. As you look at this figure, stop and appreciate the teachers we have who give their best regardless of the low range of salary they receive, and then be thankful we have them. Other 1963-64 expenditures were as follows; Fuel $6,984.12 Office Supplies $905.68 Utilities 5,151.58 Instructional Exp. 2,289.94 Repairs 2,376.71 Chapel 129.02 Maintenance Ser. 825.25 Telephone 750.31 Maintenance Sup. 2,784.01 Miscellaneous 206.81 Equipment 8,818.49 Spec.

In other words these figures are the total income of each of the associations. What they gave the school was listed as such. The rest was used for depart- mental or special purposes. By simply looking at the income and expenditures one can tell we don't waste our money. It is used for what is needed in a practical way.

Nancy Buchko .Ed Goessel, Joe Cousin ..............Kay Eddy Pat Hankins, Judy Engler .............Diane Schaul Pros And Cons Of Johnson Lyndon Johnson will win his first full term as President of the U. S. on November 3, 1964. There are several basic reasons for this. The fundamental block of his power lies in the fact that Mr. Johnson does not create undue public attention as does Senator Goldwater every time he voices his opinion. He seems rather to have built up an arsenal of esteem in the minds of 100 million voters with his numerous talents and achievements. In this manner, whatever he does or orders, the people feel right in their president's de- cisions. There are other major insrances where the people will favor L.B.J. in November. Probably the one of continual prosperity looms as the domestic issue where Goldwater cannot wage an attack on the Democratic administration. In the field of business-labor, the majority of the national labor barons are afraid and are quite anti-Goldwater and express contentment with Lyndon. Goldwater continually strikes at Johnson's so-called cutback in military strength, but he has yet to prove his accusations. And he will not, because there is no expla- nation for this in the light of increased U.S. successes and production in mechanized weapons. Mr. Goldwater spoke to an audience in Charleston, West Virginia, on Johnson's war on poverty as a phony, vote- getting gimmick and a raid on your pocketbooks. West Virginia, incidentally, is one of the most depressed areas in America. Shades of Barry's speaking again - wrong speech, wrong place. And in the most important nuclear conflict, one that is slowly detracting even Goldwater's staunchest followers, the senator states firmly: area commanders should have the authority to decide on the use of nuclear weapons. Presi- dent Johnson conversely stresses responsibility and re- straint in these matters. Simply, then, the question boils down to this: would you rather have a man, dangerously inexperienced, of most uncertain discretion, on the nuclear ponic button - or would you have Lyndon Baines Johnson? I certainly would support President Johnson. Continuing, I shall again vote for Lyndon in the field of Thanks! c° ‘- “ A note of thanks goes to the faculty members who unselfishly gave up their time to chaperon our school dances. Surely they have many other things to do BCHS studonts and faculty •xtand sympathy to the family of Mary Krause ('60) who died last month after a long illness; And to Father Lenarz, whose father died Sept. 17. Fage.3 October, 1964 vs Goldwater With the elections coming up in a few weeks I think we should make an attempt to draw our own conclusions about the candidates and not have our minds made up for us. The two major parties have nominated their standard bearers and the time is coming when the best man will be chosen. Barry M. Goldwater, the junior Senator from Arizona will be selected. Now there are those among you who claim that Senator Goldwater is a radical and an imprudent man. But I ask you to consider the foct that we are in a undeclared war in South Vietnam today. Who are the imprudent men? Are they the temporary President and his advisors, who lack the will or the couroge to even attempt to win, or is it Barry Gold- water, the man who is willing to assume the responsibility of victory? At the present time our fighting men are being killed and for no apparent reason. They have been risking their lives, and because of the ineptness of our President, the free government of South Vietnam continues slowly to capitulate. Let me ask you again, who is the imprudent man? Is it Barry Goldwater, who recognizes the danger to the entire Western Hemisphere from the bearded maniac in Cuba, or is it President Johnson who is so blind as to believe that the United States has no enemies at all? Perhaps he’s wander- ing arould in the dark since he has ordered the lights turned off in Washington D.C.! Senator Goldwater sees the enemies of the United States for what they are - Communists who would stop at nothing to overcome us. Barry Goldwater will stop the sausage policy of the Communists. With his as President we won’t policy of the Communists. With him as President we won’t end up as the last piece of sausage for the Reds to gobble up. Laying aside what I have said so far, and the evidence of corruption in our national government - such as Bobby Baker, Billie Sol Estes, and a few others, I ask you to consider what worries me most. Our government has devel- oped an alarming drift toward Communism. I ask you to consider State Department Publication 7277 entitled “Freedom From War. This gives us the official policy of the present administration to destroy our army, navy, and air force, as well as Nuclear striking force, and to have us rely on a United Nation’s peace force. You all have heard of Cyprus and the Congo which have,’ or have had, UN peace forces. If this isn’t enough, let me tell you about the Rostow Report. It is a master plan on Cont. page UN Seeks Peace, Hyman Good Sine th« United Nations came into existence 19 years ago it has tried, not always successfully, to maintain international peace and security. With this as its goal the UN has striven to attain its other purposes, namely, to develop friendly relations among nations, to achieve international cooperation in solving international problems, and to be a center for nations to let off steam in another way than by war. The UN was started in 1946 when most people agreed that something must be done to prevent another such terrible slaughter from ever happening again. Its membership of 51 countries quickly grew until it reached the membership of 112 countries it is today. Many smaller organizations work under the support and super- vision of the United Nations. These organizations were formed when the countries realized that a healthy world peace means not only the forced prevention of war but also the building of a better way of life all over the world. The International Refugee Organization has brought over a million displaced persons - whose homes have been demolished by war or disaster or who are no longer able to eke out a meager subsistence in their homeland - to new countries and new homes. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Or ganization has greatly reduced the ignorance throughout the world through schools, farm programs and vocational institutions. It has created understanding among nations through appreciation of one another’s scientific, educational and cultural accomplish- ments. Three councils of the UN which I am sure mean the most to the needy people and to their mother countries are WHO, FAO and UNICEF. WHO, the World Health Organization, trains per- sonnel, sends medicines and sets up hospitals where their help is needed most. It also establishes laboratories for research and experimentation. FAO, the Food and Agriculture Organization brings food, supplies and farm equipment for a limited time to a disaster-stricken area. The United Nations International Child- ren's Emergency Fund, commonly called UNICEF, is the only agency devoted exclusively to the welfare of children and mothers throughout the world. Pooplo the world over have varied ideas of the United Na- tions. Some Americans feel that the United States is carrying too much of the load and that other countries aren't putting in their fair share. Some fear that the UN might someday become the dominant world power. There are many people however who have an entirely different opinion of the UN. These are the children who receives a hot bowl of soup and a glass of milk, the woman who receives a piece of clothing, the man who is given equip- ment to support his family, the displaced person who gets a new start in life, the citizens of a city which was destroyed by a volcano eruption for whom shelter is provided and the country which becomes independent with the help of UN forces. These people express their opinion of the UN through a heart warming smile, a thank-you and a promise of a prayer. Nancy Fenrick Page 4 October, 1964 Pros And Cons Cont • fro n page 2 taxes and tax reductions. Johnson has already pushed through Congress the tax-cut bill, a major achievement in itself, and he even speaks of lowering the income taxes. Turning to Barry, we find him clamoring tor a 5% decrease in income tax payments for the next five years - and what did he do six months ago? He voted against the tax-cut bill - he did. If this is consistency, heaven help us! As the Vice-presidential campaign reaches a climax, it seems Hubert Humphrey is by far the better man, in both his domestic and foreign issues and his twelve years of experience in Washington circles. William Miller is con- tinually criticizing, stabbing at everyone and anyone. As yet, this is his manner - criticism and not one iota of con- structive ideas for the Americans. On the Tonkin incident, one which Johnson has handled with extreme care, the Republicans stack their chips. The Senator from Arizona speaks of smashing the Communists Reds back to Peiping - that it may cause World War III is of no immediate concern to him. In the above paragraphs, we possess the something tangible, words that explain the controversial subjects. Lyndon Johnson has not only words, but also action and successes in these actions, to secure his beliefs and ideals. Then we have Mr. Goldwater. He has words also, but they are either too opaque or too dangerous to take to heart. Therefore I say, return the best man on November 3, 1964. I say, return peace, prosperity, and unity to our society. I say, let us continue - let us win with the next. President of the United States, Lyndon Johnson! Nick Paley FI £Vo7vr J!$f SC Begins Year With New Spirit The beginning of a new school year means the beginning of an all new Student Council. This year the Student Council hopes to do an even better job than last year. This requires an all out effort from the student body. With a good attitude and a lot of school spirit the Student Council can accomplish many things for the betterment of the school. The students themselves elect the homeroom representatives to work in their behalf in the Student Council and to report back on its activities. Homeroom representatives this year are: Seniors - Joe Ber- geson, Marcia Evenson, and Alan Kobus; Juniors - Terry Piazza, John Good, andSandy Schultz; and Sophomores - Karen Zimbrich, Ann George and Marjorie Meyers. Officers for the 1964-65 Student Council are Art Kapitanoff, president; Ray Cipra, vice president; Jeanne Brown, secretary; and Kathy Murphy, treasurer. The Student Council includes also the presidents of all school organizations. foreign policy and disarmament. Its author is Walt W. Ros- tow, chairman of the Policy Planning Board of the Depart- ment of State. It states that Communism is mellowing , that we should forget about our first strike weapons. An- other item in it states that we should not seek victory over Communism and that we should force free governments into coalitions, (e.g.), the debate in Laos. I m also sure you would like to know that the report calls for a systematic publicity campaign to sell Congress and the American, people on disarmament. This report has become the official Johnson administration policy. But I have saved the oest for tne last. This is the Phoe- nix Report authored by the U.S. Arms Control and Dis- armament Agency. It abondons all the old objectives against Communism in favor of interdependence between the United States and the Soviet Union. It calls for a parity of military forces with the Soviet Union. It also states that the Pres- ident should trick the American people by a tax cut which would necessitate a decrease in spending for defence and thus force us into unilateral disarmament. After all this, what really shocked me was that it said we should consider unification’ of the U.S. and the USSR! The Johnson Administration is putting these policies into effect right now. I am certain that if the American people get the facts about Johnson he will be defeated and our democracy will be saved. In fact, Nov. 3, 1964 may even be known in years to come as a Second Day of Independence. It will be the day Barry Goldwater will have been elected to the Presidency!

Mechanical Drawing No Snap Course Here And Wednesday night, October 21, is the date of the Junior- Senior College Night. Student preferences have determined the colleges which have been invited to send representatives. Meetings in small dis-. cussion groups are planned to give the individual students an opportunity to ask questions about the colleges. Colleges, universities, business schools, and nursing schools will provide booklets and pamphlets explaining what fields they offer, available financial help, and application pro- ceedures. The representatives are there to help you in making your choice, the choice best for you. £ Hava you noticed the major- ettes at our football games and parades lately? This year the girls are wearing new gold There Have you witnessed the mournful complaints and groans coming from the band room? It seems very recently chorus band members have been forced to sit in their new blue chairs. What is so painful about that? Ask any band or chorus member. Could it be they are not used to sitting up so straight? But haven’t the sounds ringing from there been improving? Evidently, posture does have something to do with the quality of singing and playing an instrument. outfits and white gloves. Their routines include baton twirling and dancing. Jackie Zahn and Mr. Farina have been working on the formation of a majorette club. Anyone interested in becoming a majorette or a color guard is welcome to join. What is mechanical draw ing? Is it just a course in drawing? Is it architecture or mapping? Exactly what is it? Briefly, mechanical draw- ing is simply the describing of objects through pictorial drawings commonly known as mechanical drawings. Sister M. Cletus teaches the two year course offered at BCHS. Daily schedule con- sists of working on or com- pleting one’s particular drawings. Details are ex- plained as Sister Cletus helps the class. Studying is limited to tests and the particular draw- ing that students may have. The first meeting of the Home and School Association will be Thursday, Oct. 27. The agenda will include a panel on “Opportunities for Spiritual Development in the School.” Yet, it is not what might be called a “snap course” The main objective of this course is to give experience in and a knowledge of terms, tools, and skills involved in mechanical engineering. It is, also, a good college pre- paratory course and is -recom- mended for basic knowledge in this field. Mechanical drawing is used ia jmany branches of man- ufacture and construction Ihorough knowledge of it is needed for advancement and success in the field of mech- anical engineering. “Autumn In Beloit” was «the topic of discussion in second year French one morn- ing. A certain sophomore girl described it as “..the time of year when the ‘armchairs’ fall from the trees.” Could it have been a fault in translation? October. 1964 Page 6 Four Beloit Laymen Join BCHS Board of Directors Four Boloit loymon were added to the BCHS Board of Directors during the Aug. 29 meeting. Although in past years laymen had not been chosen as mem- bers to this board, Bishop O'Connor, realizing the importance of Catholic laymen working for the success of their schools, suggested they be added to the board. Members selected were: Mr. Harold E. Tower, St. Thomas parish; Mr. Donald R. Even son, St. Jude parish; Mr. Walter T. Zimbrich, Our Lady of the Assumption parish; and Mr. Jake Anastasi, St Paul parish. These lay members will have two year terms with two new members being chosen each year at the annual elec- tion meeting in the spring. Business meetings are held at least four times a year. The boord officers are: Bishop O’Connor, president; Bishop Hastrich, vice presi- dent; and Father Pierick, secretary-treasurer. Other mem- bers include the pastors of die four Beloit parishes: Mon- signor Thomas A. O'Reilly, St. Thomas; Father Raymond J. Foren, St. Judes; Father Robert J. O'Hara, Our Lady of the Assumption, chairman; and, Father Joseph DeStephano, St. PauL 'Butch' Joins Maintenance Staff A now member of the BCHS maintenance staff is the assistant janitor, Mr. Orion Worsley, commonly called “Butch . Mr. Worsley resides at 2212 Jackson, has been a resident of Beloit since 1944, and has four daughters and five grandchildren. Prior to coming to BCHS, Mr. Worsley worked as a janitor for five years at the Forest Hills Country Club in Rockford. Mr. Worsley says he finds BCHS faculty and students very friendly and he thoroughly enjoys his work. Howdy Day Mixes Fun, Confusion Howdy Day - What was it? A day in which the freshmen tried to become better ac- quainted with the upperclass- men. The day began with the hurrying of the freshmen to obtain signatures from the upperclassmen. These sig- natures could be obtained between classes, at beginning of each study hall and in the cafeteria. At the Student Council sponsored party that evening various games were played. One of them tested skill in relaying a life-saver on a toothpick. Another could be called “Pop the Balloon. Teresa Heatherly, the freshman who had collected the most upperclassmen signatures, received a Beatles album as her prize. Torry Heatherly receives a Beatle album from Student Council president Art Kapitan- off. Terry earned her prize for collecting the highest number of signatures from upperclass- men on “Howdy Day.

A LETT During the summer senior Anna Marie Clothier moved to Torino, Italy, with her family because her father received a transfer. Recently she wrote to Father Pierick telling of her life there. A school calendar which she enclosed indicates that the year at the American School of Torino lasts from Sept. 14 to June 20 and is divided into three semesters. Holidays, besides Christmas and Easter vacations, are Italian National Unification Day, Nov. 4; Immaculate Conception, Dec. 8; St. Joseph Day, Mar. 19; and Italian Republic Day, June 2. Hero is hor letter: Dear Father Pierick, I just wanted to drop you a few lines to tell you how much we love Italy. It is really beautiful here. We have lived in hotels for about a month and it seemed good to get into a home. We have a beautiful apartment, and from the balconies you can see the Alps if it is a clear day. The weather has been perfect every day so far.,.. ogy at St. Francis Seminary in Milwaukee. When Bishop O'Connor requested Father to teach at BCHS, he willingly accepted. He is relieving Father Lena- han of one American problems class and Sister Gregory of two classes. 1 saw the school in Torino and decided to go there instead of Switzerland. It is not a Catholic school, but the American School has rented a portion of an old convent. In this convent the sisters care for World War II orphans, all girls. The atmosphere is there even though it is not a Catholic school. The day we visited we could hear chanting in the chapel. They have a chapel, so we can go to Mass during the week. There were also beautiful shrines to Mary in the courtyard. Mary, Collaen and I will be chauffeured to school, so there will be no more long bus rides like last year... . . Say hello to Mrs. Tyler, the priests, sisters and all the kids. It is hard to write to everyone, but I wanted to let you all know how much we love it here..... My address is 57 Corso Peschiera, Torino, Italy In case anyone wants to write. As ever, Anna Marie October, 1964 Zealand. BCHS Welcomes New Sfudent 8CHS has recently welcomed a new student, Bruce Mclnnis of New Zealand. Bruce has had quite a life of traveling. Bom in Baie Comeau, Canada, he lived there for only four years. From there he went to Cleveland, Tenn., where he resided for seven years. Then he took up residence in New Zealand where he and his family re- mained for four years, until they finally took up residence here in Beloit. Fortunatelyr for Bruce, the accepted language of each country has been English. “This is the best school 1 have ever attended,” says Bruce. This feeling may be due to the fact that in New Zealand he attended a boarding school which was staffed by brothers. “They were a little more strict, and lo6t their tempers more frequently,” says Bruce. He also has found the stu- dents to be very friendly. In his own words, “Nothing beats them!” Another fact he brought up and favored was that we fre- quently have school dances, whereas he was accustomed to one dance a year, usually in October. In New Zealand, Bruce, a junior, was assigned a six subject schedule, including Chemistry III, Latin HI, French III, Math III, Religion ID, English III and Physics II. Some of these subjects were taken only twice a week, while others were taken from three to four times. His six subject American schedule includes biology, American history, algebra D, French III, English III and religion III. The Mclnnis family came to Beloit so that Mr. Mclnnis could secure a job offered him at the Beloit Corporation as an engineer. His sister Joan, 18, recently left for Philadelphia to enter college. His brother Brent, 9, is attending St. Thomas school. Bruce hopes to enter the field of engineering upon graduation frqgn Beloit Catholic high school. Thirteen proved to be an unlucky number again. A senior girl was seen sliding down the hall on her knees after a tumble near that room. If you want to know who she is — start looking for some bruised knees Page 7 JV’s Trounce Clinton In 20-7 Opener Junior varsity football season opened Monday, Sept. 28, with a victory over Clinton. This was the first victory for the 64-65 school year and the J.V.'s worked hard to earn it. In the first quarter Mike Badger ran 20 yards for the first touchdown, but the at- tempted run for the extra point proved fruitless. Just before the end of the half, Kemil Basmagy ran three yards for the second touchdown and the extra point was run by John Raster. Later, in the third quarter, John Raster went 12 yards for the third and final touchdown, and with the extra point run by Brian Day, the score was 20-0. Clinton scored in the late part of the last quarter on a 35 yard run, and the extra point was good. The final score showed a 20-7 victory for BCHS. Y Offers Lifesaving Jean Behrman, Mary Carney and Barrie Entringer are attending the Senior Lifesav- ing classes offered at the Beloit YWCA. These classes are open to all senior high school junior and senior girls. A physical education credit and Red Cross Lifesaving certificate will be given to these girls if they successfully complete one semester of work. Classes are held each Monday evening from 6:30 to 8:30, beginning Sept. 14 and ending Jan. 18, for a total of 36 hours. Girls participating must possess sufficient swim- ming skill to have passed a preliminary swimming test. YWCA registration or member- ship is not required. ’Saders Drop One; Tie Clinton 7-7 Catholic High has been a rather uncomfortable place for football players the past two weeks. And rightly so. After being stopped 14-7 by Monroe in the season opener, the 'Saders could only hold underdog Clinton to a 7-7 draw. As a result of these showings there has been a noted increase in the running and work done on the practice field and we have it irom an informed source that a better show will be demonstrated with the opening of conference play. In the opener with Monroe, BCHS found itself weak in offensive running plays and in the defensive secondary. Monroe scored twice sit- ting up or scoring both times on key passes. The 'Saders only score was a long aerial from Jim Davis to Don Smiley. The P.A.T. was kicked by Pete Piazza. After a two week pause the 'Saders again played host, this time to Clinton. For the first seven minutes it was “all 'Sader.” On the opening kick-off the Cougars were stopped inside their own twenty. Four plays later BCHS took over possession and drove for the touchdown. The kick was good and it was 7-0 Crusaders. A duplicate drive was in progress till the one yard line where a penalty ended the drive. Team spirit seemed to droop and the final 7-7 score tells the story of the rest of the game. Page 8 When the wind is blowing and swirling, You'll need something for your Homecoming hairdo.

October, 1964 BELOIT CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL ftwWtt, Wl� c«asta Vol. 13 No. 3 November, 1964 Fr. Kernston To Give Retreaf Nov. 23-25 Father Edward Kersten, OSA, an experienced Augus- tini an retreat master from Fort Wayne, Ind., conducted the annual student retreat this year. Scheduled for Nov. 23-25, the retreat consisted of three days of talks and conferences by Father Kersten. Mass was said each day in the gym. Ample opportunity for con- fession was given between conferences. To holp students with their meditations, spiritual reading pamphlets had been supplied to the homerooms by the library. Some of the 32 new pam- phlets available were: “On Choosing a Vocation “What Girls Think of Boy's Clothes and “Being Yourself. Students were asked to make the most of these days by keepings strict silence through- out the retreat. Students to Pioneer In New Liturgy Sinco September, Father Pierick has been celebrating First Friday in the gym at an altar facing the congregation. The use of Communion stations instead of the Communion rail was also initiated in September. The first mass in English at BCHS will be celebrated Dec. 4. This is a pioneer effort utilizing the changes approved by the Ecumenical Council. Beloit Catholic is breaking ground for other places and is training students to be com- mentators and lectors. Father Lenarz is working to develop a group of lectors. The progressive program started with Mass facing the people and Communion sta- tions in September. In October a student served as com- mentator. In November, in addition to the other changes, a student lector read the Epistle and Gospel. The congregation will respond in English at the First Friday Mass in Decem- ber. Mass in the chapel may or may not use these changes, depending upon circumstances. Program to Commemorate Late President Kennedy “On Friday, Novembar 22, 1963, three shots rang out under a Texas sun, and the brightest light of our time was snuffed out by a senseless evil. One year later, on Sunday, November 22, 1964, at the Beloit Catholic High school auditorium, the band, chorus, and other students will present a program in commemoration of the death of President Kennedy. Students will give choral readings, selected from the many tributes and eulogies written about him in the past year. Among these will be the eulogy by Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield. This section of the program is being directed by Father Lenahan. The junior-senior chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Watson, will sing “Hospodi Pomilui by G. V. Lvovsky. Mr. Farina will conduct the band in “King John's Over- ture. Nancy Fenrick “The aim of the program is to install complete student participation because this is proper for a Catholic high school where young people are trained to be modern Catholics. The program is designed to prepare the stu- dents to be leaders in the new liturgy, Father Lenarz said. “Students should do some- thing with their experience gained at BCHS. The students can help spread the program in their own parish churches using the instruction given to them.” Father Lenarz has observed that many students are not helping in this matter at all. He thinks that we should regard it as a very great “once in a lifetime’ privilege to participate in such a momentous event as a change in the language of the liturgy of the Church. The last time the Western Church changed the language of its worship was in 604 A.D. - From Greek to Latin. Western students will be among the first to pioneer in this change. Fother Lenorz noted that the church always chooses a moderate rate of change and a moderate use of the changes. Not all the changes to be made in the Mass will be made at once. Necessary changes, however, are being made. The main purpose of the changes is to use the external means as they are intended to be used - to help our interior devotion - or else we will be as Pharisees. Kevin Lauer November, 1964 Page 2 Girls and Sports? A girl interested in sports? That's ridiculous! Or is it? Although a girl's participation in sports is limited, her interest and enthusiasm should not be. There are those who firmly believe that sports such as football and basketball should be left strictly to the male enthusiast. This group will stare blank-faced at the time clock all night waiting for the game’s end. That may sound a bit unfair and in some respects it is. Some girls do enjoy the morally healthful entertainment that athletics has to offer and will give their all to cheer the team to victory. They are among the group whose belief it is that athletics is a vital part of our school's curriculum. Except for these few supporters, it would be rather frus- trating for the player, who while pounding the gridiron for a touchdown, senses the indifference of a stadium full of spectators whose spirit has vanished. A girl, therefore, should not remain an outsider. It is through her and the whole crowd’s cheers that an attitude of, we're going to win this game , is conveyed to the player and most times that’s what really counts. Cathy Brandt To The Editor... To The Editor The attendance at our games has really grown since our varsity cheerleaders pep them up with their new eye-catching cheers. Their new snappy outfits seem to attract the attention of all the spectators. The Junior varsity cheer- leaders will brighten the entire gym this basketball season with their yellow sweaters and skirts. Let's be there to show them that their faithful prac- tices weren't in vain. Margie Engler TO THE EDITOR: We would both like to ex- press our appreciation to everyone at BCHS, who made our reign over Homecoming 64 a very enjoyable one.

Students saw a slight re- vision in the marking system this year. Present marking policy is: A+ = 99-100, A = 95-98, A- = 93-94, B = 91-92, B = 87-90, B- = 85-86, C + = 83-84, C = 79-82, C- = 77-78, D = 72-74, D- = 70-71, F = below 70. Students polled concerning their anticipation quotient expressed varying ideas. Some students understand the main reason for quarterly report cards. “I think report cards are worth the effort put into them for not only do they inform the student of the quality of his work, but also the parents are informed. —Pat Yanulis. One student seems to be- lieve that report cards are a cause of some mistreatment: I think that if teachers were more conservative on homework and tests, and more liberal with their marks it would make a much bette r looking report card and end much of today's CHILD BRU- TALITY. -Mike Luttig. A few students dread a particular class marking: ‘ 1 am not worried about mine, except for English... —Terry Petit. ...And that advanced math, ugh! —Jock Pohl. I hope that Sr. Gregory will give me the benefit of the doubt. —Steve Bonefede. Either the revised marking system or teacher resistance seems to have made it hard for students to get an easy grade: If you only had about two subjects, you might be able to get an A. —Suzanne Conry. Anyone who gets an A really deserves it.” —Pat Fitzgerald. I think we should be able to get an A more often than we do. —Kathy Rahorn. Because of the possible difference marking levels in BCHS and some other schools students have voiced these opinions: If you were getting C's and D's here at BCHS, you could get B's and C's at Memorial High. —Nancy Hanish. ...Who would get a jt b easier? Thfc students from the lower marking school? —Kan Bach. One consoling thought is given to someone who has a fine and can't receive his report card until it is paid: Terror tingles from my nerve ends. Sweat drips from my brow. My finger nails are bleeding. I can't possibly owe $275 in gum fines. But on the bright side-they probably won't give me my report card for another 100 years. —Ray Fuller. Some agree that grades should not be so important: There is too much em- phasis on the grades a per- son gets. —Karen Zimbrick. A last thought on report cards is given by a junior girl: I think that after I re- ceive my report card, I will be in need of our school retreat... praying for my next report card. —Virginia Daily. Elizabeth Chamon November, 1964 Landslide for Lyndon; Barry 2nd Seniors Hold Mock Election Page 3 A londsid of votes for Johnson was the result of the election poll sponsored by the Press Club. Johnson held 79% of the 296 votes cast He had 234 votes, while Goldwater totaled only 40. Alfred E. Neuman totaled 15 votes while others inclu- ding Ringo Starr, totaled 7 votes. Although all students were qualified to vote, 184 or 38.3% did not do so. Ballots were distributed with the October issue of the paper. John Good Active Pep Club Promotes Spirit Although the Pep club has only one or two meeting? a year, it is perhaps one of the most active clubs in the school. The club is composed of representatives from each homeroom and the cheerleaders. Its goal is to encourage and promote student enthusiasm and participation in sports activities. Officers, elected at the first meeting, are: Jeff Fuhr- man, president; Tom Carney, vice president; Barb Carter, secretary, and Pat Fitz- Gerald, treasurer. BCHS Seniors held a mock election Nov. 3 to stir up student interest in politics. They voted for the President and Vice President, as well as for state and local officials. The first step in organizing the mock election was the setting up of the Republican and Democratic parties. Chair- men selected for the parties were responsible for getting information distributed to the students and for sparking enthusiasm for the election. To voto, students had to be registered by Wednesday, Oct. 21. Of 120 seniors, 98 regist- ered and voted. Jack Pohl, acting as clerk, assisted students to register. Election results were strictly Democratic. Johnson received 69 votes and Gold- water received 27. State and local offices were also car- ried by the Democrats.

Ray Cipra 66 and Gina Agostinelli 66 This year, Gina Agostinelli, a junior, helps cheer our team to victory. But this is only one of her activities. Gina is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Agostinelli, and a member of St Paul's parish. In her freshman year at BCHS, Gina was treasurer of her class and a Student Coun- cil homeroom representative. Sophomore year saw her as class secretary. As a junior she belongs to Press club, junior senior chorus, and, being a cheerleader, is a member of Pep club. Gina onjoys ice skating and sewing, and most sports. She works at “Lillians , helping around the shop. Though she is unsure of her future at this point, she plans to go to a business or liberal arts college, and gives special attention to being an Italian- interpreter. Gina has been on the Honor Roll at the end of every grad- ing period since her freshman year. Linda Osborn Joe Cousin displays his “Youth Appreciation Week Award presented to him by the Optimist Club at a dinner Nov. 11, 1946. NHS Salutes Ray Cipra, junior, has been associated with various BCHS activities since he entered high school. Ray is a member of YCS. As a sophomore he was elected president of his class. Also during his sophomore year, Ray received awards for his competitive work in mechanical drawing, and for his talk on soil conservation. This year Ray is vice- president of the Student Coun- cil. Ray is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Cipra. Tennis, hunting, and fishing are rated as his favorite pastimes. He is looking forward to the open- ing of the intramural basketball season. Ray hopes to work for a college major in some phase of physical science. Nick Paley Socialists Dedicate Lives to Mary Because of the increase in membership this year, the Sodality has been divided into two groups. Sister M. Sharon is fresh man-sophomore moderator, while Sister M. Rita Clare is moderator for the junior-senior group. The purpose of the Sodality is to help its members to live better Catholic lives through a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. All members consecrate themselves to Mary at the time of reception into Sodality. In the past four years more than 107 students have been active members. This year 10% of BCHS students are members of preparing to be- come members. Officers for the 1964-65 year are: prefect, Elizabeth Charnon; vice prefect, Carol Gannon; recording secretary, Judy Oliver; corresponding secretary, Mary Koehler, and treasurer, Cathy Eichman. Evelyn Pilgrim Page 4 November, 1964 Here andThere Tuesday, Oct. 27, was the night of the first Home and School meeting. Margaret Fitz- gerald and Peter Obligato took part in a discussion of “The students reaction to religion in school and home life.” Both parents and teach- ers agreed that they profited from the talks. Have you noticed the en- thusiastic spirit hanging on the halls of BCHS? The Pep club members have earned recognition for their posters urging attendance at the foot- ball games. They have really helped to increase school spirit for the majority of the students. ♦ All studonts interested in any field of medicine are invited to attend the Future Nurses club. The name of the club need not mislead you. Once a month, a guest speaker talks to the members on such aspects of medicine as phar macy, technology, physical therapy, radiology, social work, and laboratory research. A potluck dinner for club members is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 19, at 6:30 in the cafeteria. The purpose of this gather- ing is to welcome new members of the Future Nurses club. As their main project this year the Sodality has intro- duced the Perpetual Rosary into BCHS. This is how it works: All students interested in participating in this devotion have an opportunity to sign up for the day and the time that fits in with their schedule. All those who participate help in promoting the recitation of the rosary by one or two students at a time during the entire school day from 8:20 until 3:00. ♦ Secretaries Sponsor Graveyard Hop Prixe winners at the “Graveyard Hop” were Chuck Molay, most original; Le Roy Stoltz, winner of the door prize; Nsmcy Buchko, funniest costume; Joe Bergeson, ugliest; and Judy Good, most elaborate. Tomorrow’s Secretary club sponsored the hop Oct. 24 in the gym. Students were not admitted without costumes. Judges for costumes included Sr. Aietta, Fr. Fagan, Mrs. Collins, and Mr. Don Evenson.

Two main exams, the American College Testing (ACT) Program and the Col- lege Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) test, are offered to the students. A student entering college must find out which test his college requires for admission. The ACT consists of four smaller timed tests in English, mathematics, social studies, and the natural studies. The ACT is a four hour test. It can be taken at Beloit College or. November 7, 1964 and April 24. 1965. The CEEB is a combination of three tests, the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), the Achievement tests, and the Writing sample. Most col- leges require only SAT which is a three hour test including verbal and mathematical sections. Some colleges also require the Achievement test, a one- hour test given in the afternoon of the test day, and the Writing Sample, a one hour essay on an assigned topic. The CEEB can be taken at Beloit College on December 5, 1964 or May 1, 196$. Joe Cousin Students are asked to save Betty Crocker coupons for the Senior class.

November, 1964 Crusaders Victorious In ’64 Shark Top Team Cooch Barnabo (center) stands with the recipients of the “All Conference” or honorable mention rated BCHS football players. They are: (1 to r) Don Smiley, Pete Piazza, Art Kapitan- off, Larry Scott, Mike Peterson,(beneath) Jim Davis, Jim Perkins, Dave Luebke, and Dave Raster When the Varsity entered the SHARK Conference, they were expected to rate fourth. But they set out to prove this wrong by ending the season with an undefeated team. The season opened with a 31-0 victory over Hononegah. The next week the team defeated North Boone 26-20 in the Homecoming game. They then defeated Marengo 26-13 and South Beloit 20-6 before rol- ling over Winnebago 44-6. In the final game, the Crusaders beat Harvard 19-6 to take the SHARK Conference Champion- ship with an undefeated, untied season. In non-confarenca play, the Varsity were defeated by lion- roe 14-7, Madison Edge-wood 44-0, and tied Clinton for a 6-2-1 overall season. North Boone was handed their first defeat in oar home- coming game 26-20. The ’Saders scored twice in the first quarter; on a 45 yard touchdown pass from Davis to Scott with Piazza kicking the PAT, and on a 40 yard pant return by Scott with Piazza again converting. After throwing two 20 yard passes to Scott and Smiley, Davis ran 6 yards for 6 points, to make the halftime score 20-6. North Boone scored,bat the ’Saders came rigit back with 5 first downs and a TD by Raster. Fullback Mike Peterson was the top ground gainer of the game with 109 yards rushing. A week later the Crusaders massacred the Indians 26-13. Piazza picked up a fumble and ran 40 yards for the first TD of the game. Three touchdowns in the second, third, and fourth periods by Don Smiley wrapped up the game. Joe Cousin Steve O'Connell J.V. Ties For First The Freshman-Sophomore football team racked up a tie for first place along with Harvard. The final game, with previously undefeated Harvard; showed a 6-0 triumph for the Junior Crusaders. The J.V. squad had beaten Clinton, Hononegah, North Boone, South Beloit, Win- nebago, but they were de- feated by Marengo and Monroe for a 6-2 overall record. De- pressing losses came in the middle of the season, but the squad bounced back like a true football team. Dick Goldsworthj ’Saders to Open Basketball Season The 1964-65 basketball season is nearly upon us. After the Crusaders’ last football game with Harvard Nov. 13, basketball practice will get underway. Mr. Roy Melvin will coach the BCHS efforts in the SHARK conference this season. Being part of this conference could prove very advantageous. This is due primarily to the fact that it will provide a greater incentive, that is, more of a goal than just a tournament Prospects for the new sea- son are bright. Out of last years’ top seven men, five are returning this season. Returning lettermen are Larry Scott, Don Smiley, Mike Mowers, Dan Bums, and Jack e Page 7 Conference 8fSaders Rate 'All Conference9 Beloit Catholic High School led the SHARK Conference teams in the number of all- conference drafts for the ’64 football season. Filling 8 of the 22 first positions and two ’honorable mentions’, the Crusaders showed the power that helped them cap the con- ference title. The 8 all-conference choices were Larry Scott, Dave Raster, and Pete Piazza at ends, Jim Carroll and Dave Luebke at tackles, guard Jim Perkins, quarterback Jim Davis, and halfback Don Smiley. Junior fullback Mike Peter- son and senior guard Art Kapitanoff received ’honorable mention . Three of these players, Don Smiley, Larry Scott, and Jim Carroll, were chosen unanimously. Pete Piazza Pohl. Also returning are Dave Luebke, John TouscheV, Jim Davis, and John Winger. Mr. Del Craig, who coached the Freshmen team last year, will coach the JV team this season.

I I WANTED TO WRITE A POEM They said I should maybe go lie down at home, The day that I wanted to write me a poem. They scorned me, and razzed me all of the time, But I guess I showed them when I finished my rhyme. Its contents were splendid, its wording was grand. To me this here poem was the best in the land. Someday they will publish my hard work so fine. And just down below it they'll say it was mine. Holly Broderick Alum-Notes Donald J. Reynolds ('56) is a First Lieutenant in the Marine Corps.

Candy Stripers Aid Caravillians Nine members of Future Nurses Club are getting a first-hand picture of nursing by going right to the patients’ bedside. Every weekend these '’Candy Stripers” devote their spare time to helping out at Caravilla, Home for Senior Citizens. Most of the girls work in the infirmary, ltiiere a majority of the old people are bedridden. Caravilla aids are: Maty Carney, Mary Ann Ellsworth, Shiela Gianoli, Cindy Koehler, Sharon Ferwerda, Patti Col- lins, Georgia Watson, Jane Foreman, and Sandy Schultz. With their red and white pinafores and a real yearning to help, these girls go out to do whatever they can for the patients. They feed those who can’t feed themselves, write letters, comb hair, run errands, and most of all, they just talk to the patients. The nurses are often too busy to do this last, and those patients who do not get much company, are lonely and just enjoy talking to someone. Mr. Falco and Mrs. Soder- burg of Caravilla have ex- pressed their appreciation for the volunter services of these girls. However, more Candy Stripers are needed. Students who would like to serve others in this way can call one of the Future Nurses chib officers for further explanation. Club officers are: Pam VanLan- deghem, president; Terry Petit, vice-president; Sandy Schultz, secretary; and Judy Engler, treasurer. Sandj Schultz December 1964 Page 4 What is the Background of Christmas? Christmas, December 25 is the day celebrated in all 1 Christian countries as the day of the birth of Christ. It is the day marked by religious services in various churches, Q fa _ by charitable deeds, the exchange of gifts, and by merry- V making and rejoicing. y v The time when the Christmas festival was first observed iVl III is not definitely known. It is spoken of in the beginning of [ mA v I the third century by Clement of Alexandria, and Chrysostom fly speaks of it in the latter part of the fourth century as a if 1 I custom of long standing. Ii Other dates were often celebrated as the day of the Nativity, but finally December 25 was universally adopted, I f although there is no evidence that this is actually the date liRLi J of Christ’s birth. Its celebration was set at this time of fj the year to replace the religious festivals which the con- iflHJlf Jlj verts from paganism were accustomed to celebrating. In Vi doing this, Church officials often permitted the new Chris- tians to celebrate in their old familiar way, but they gave a new and Christian meaning to the festival symbols. Thus we get many Christian customs from the pagans. In the winter the pagans celebrated Saturnalia and the Yule feast to honor the returning of the sun or light. The Christians replaced this with the celebration of Christmas, or tne birth of Christ as the Light of the World. The exchanging of gifts in the pagan festivals became a Chr.stian reminder of the fact thaT Chnst gave Himself to iMC? us, as well as of the Magi’s gifts to Christ.

BCHS Road Rates Under Way This is your speciol international American car rally correspondent, Ray Fuller, reporting to you on the pre-rally tryouts at BCH, situated in the scenic Rock River Valley. My expenses are graciously being paid for by the new Edsel for 65” company. They tell me the Edsel is going to be the big number one this year. The track on which the tryouts hove been conducted for the last three and one half months is a small but tricky course. The starting point is the school west parking lot, which is ideally suited for such manuevers due to its lack of space and its close proximity to all school exits. The warmups begin at about 7:45 each morning, before classes convene. You can get a pre-race look at the ma- chines if you con get up at this atrocious hour. The people who live in the houses along t..w course get up at ridicu- lous hours hoping the morning won't grace them with one of these aged experienced drivers wrapped around a front porch or making a grand entrance into a front hall. The race itself, which begins at 3:15 P.M. with a mas- sive LeMons start, is truly a sight to behold. Mostly pa- rental rally cars ore used - those which dad drives to work and the young driver strips down for school. These are the machines that are close to these driver’s hearts. The last few days there has been a vicious rumor going around of someone’s clamping down on the race this year. They seem to be mumbling something about danger to pedestrians. That's stupid, isn’t it, guys? I mean you’re all pros; you wouldn’t hit one of those little kids on purpose. Jut I know that a few bashed fenders and 10 or 15 suspended racing permits won't dampen our spirits. No- body’s ever been killed or seriously injured yet. What’s all the complaining about? Think about it once and what do a f; clumsy pedestrians mean to us? io until next year, when I will again cover the rally in this area, this is your BCHS correspondent saying So long and keep taking chances!

Larry Scott followed with 16. Don Smiley and John Winger hit 9 and 8 respectively. Cogers Drop Close One to Indians y; Beloit Catholic dropped from the ranks of the unbeaten SHARK contenders Dec. 12 by losing to Hononegah 47-45. A slow start saw the Cru- saders trailing 11-7 at the first buzzer. However, they staged a second quarter blitz led by Jock Pohl's 10 points and went out to the lockers with a 23-17 half-time lead. The third quarter buzzer showed the Beloit lead cut to one, with a score of 35-34. Fourth quarter fouls proved to be the deciding factor with the Indians hitting for 9 of their 13 points on gift shots. The game ended with a 47-45 Hononegah victory with the Crusaders hitting their poorest percentage of the season - 16 for 60 shots. High scorer for the Cru- saders was Jack Pohl, who accounted for 14 points. He was followed by Don Smiley with 10 and Lorry Scott with 9. This loss left BCHS with a 2-1 SHARK conference record.

They were chosen from a large group of candidates on the basis of their enthusiasm, personality, sportsmanship, leadership, showmanship and good, health. Being chosen, however, is only the first step in cheer- leading. The girls put in much practice time, not only on Mondays and Thursdays after school, but at home as well. They have a set of rules to follow which include their general conduct, as well as compulsory attendance at practices and at home games. Failure to keep these rules earns them demerits, and after five demerits they are expelled from the squad. New uniforms, purchased by the girls themselves, are one of the highlights of this cheering season.

In their opening game Dec. 12, Crusader frosh jumped off to a 18-9 first quarter lead over Clinton. Never during the game did they lose this lead. By the end of the second quarter the charging Green and Gold had bucketed a score of 39-16. With no let-up in energy, the Crusaders increased their lead to 51-22 in the third quarter and galloped to a winning total of 60-29 in the final period. High scorers for the vic- torious Crusader Boardmen were Dick Johnson and Kemil Bosmagy with 12 points each, Tim Gharrity with 10, John Bryant and Jim Cousin with 8 groups are wearing coulottes and sweaters. Three of the Varsity cheer- leaders — Potty Choudoir, Barb Carter and Joanne Mil- otzo — attended a cheerleader workshop this summer and brought back new cheerleading techniques and ideas for new cheers. Other Varsity cheerleaders are Cathy Brandt, Jean Hamill and Gina Agostinelli. Varsity subs are Cathy Eichman and Jackie Zahn. JV cheerleaders are Nancy Belvedere, Pat FitzGerald, Linda Tyler and Pat Wolf, with Sue Ryan, Sue Conry and Karen Zimbrich as subs. Sister M. Febronia is mod- erator for both groups. At the spring athletic banquet JV cheerleaders will receive numerals. First year Varsity cheerleaders will be awarded major letters.

Repealing their red hot performance in their Dec. 14 game with Brodhead, Coach Bamabo's freshmen started off with an 8-3 lead. In the second quarter they more than doubled their lead, and in the third quarter doubled Brodhead's scoring power for a showing of 35-17. Although in the fourth quarter Brodhead rallied and scored 10 points to the Cru- sader 5, BCHS posted a win- ning score of 40-27.

December 1964 SophoMorts Moke 1965 Resolotioos Some sophomores have looked past Christmas and have come up with some New Year resolutions for 1965. Cindy Wieland resolves to be as good as she was last year, and Michele Chekouros promises never again to argue on the phone with her best friend. Gloria Sierra is never again going to contribute to the support of our school through gum fines, and Gerry Kennedy has promised never again to pay $7.50 for a pack of gum. Mike Luttig is going to break down and do his geo- metry every night, while Borb Hudson and Evelyn Pilgrim are going to restrain them- selves from throwing food in the classrooms. Cindy Porker promises to bring lollipops to school three times a week, while John Zabel resolves not to resolve, because people who resolve and don’t keep their resolutions only make fools of themselves. Pat Fitzgerald is going to break’em as soon as she makes’em, and Jane Aeschli- mann thinks they’d be great if only she could keep them. These written resolutions will be kept on file in case any of the makers forget their good intentions. Marjorie Meyers AND A 5 my ysm UW Professor Speaks Of Secular Colleges Is a secular campus dangerous to the soul of the Catholic? Dr. Richard F. Fenske of the University of Wisconsin assured parents and students Tuesday evening, Jan. 26, at the Home and School meeting that the loss of faith need not be the result of attendance at a secular college. “The secular campus in fact, be a source of strength can oe a and vitality to the students’ faith,” he said in his talk on “The Catholic Student on the Secular Campus.” Dr. Fenske is an associate professor of chemistry (the first Catholic professor of chemistry in the history of the University of Wisconsin), faculty moderator of the Mad- ison Newman Center, and frequent lecturer at Pre-Cana conferences. There is not a straight yes or no answer to the question of Catholics on the secular campus, Dr. Fenske asserted. Statistics show that for every student at a Catholic college, there are two attending a state college. However, Dr. Fenske firmly believed the strength of his faith was due to his attendance at Marquette Uni- versity. While it teems natural for more students to lose their faith at a secular school Jian at a Catholic college, Dr. Fenske wondered what kind of Catholics they were in the beginning. He questioned the validity of blaming the loss of faith on the university rather than on the ndividual student. He stated that faith depends more upon the quality of moral and theological training in good Christian homes than upon external conditions on the campus. Dr. Fenske warned parents to put less emphasis on com- pulsory college education for their children. We have all been pushing for the ideal that we must be better than we are. This viewpoint neglects the fact that the student is an individual with his own per- sonal motivation and ability. Parents, he warned, have been guilty of placing undue emphasis on the importance of top-grades. He stressed that some students, ungble to meet these demands, have literally pushed themselves to the peak of their mental limit. They already regard themselves as failures simply because they cannot maintain the A and B average they had in high school. Parents were urged to consider the student’s talents and to form their hopes comparably and within reasonable access. Today more than ever, Dr. Fenske indicated, each of us has the responsibility to cur- selves, to our community, and to our God to become educated to our limit. As a result, Catholic students have more valid reasons today than formerly for attending state schools. The main reason for such attendance, he pointed out, is that some talented students are simply unable to meet the expense of a Catholic college. He also noted, however, that sometimes the Catholic colleges are rated as second because they lack the funds for equip- ment and faculty that the state college can afford. In conclusion, Dr. Fenske assured parents that a college education on the secular cam- pus need not cause them fear, though it must be met with caution.

The sophomores, under the direction of Sister Ronalda, are undertaking a new approach to biology. Through their own investigations, they are given the chance to learn what science is and how a scientist works. The lab desks are set up so that work can be accom- plished with greater ease. Under this program, each class is divided into individual team groups of four who take part in various experiments. This enables students to make comparisons of the experimental work done by all the classes. It also helps by giving the opportunity to search for the correct con- clusions to the various ex- periments. The program itself is divided into several six-week groups of intensive study on a single phase or topic of biology. During these weeks the student makes his own investigation, studying a given series of problems. Because no answers are given, the student really works with an unknown. He is expected to interpret his observations and to arrive at conclusions that will answer specific questions set before him. The aim of this program, more participation by the students, is fulfilled every day through the many ideas expressed by the groups. Finally, students can feel the excitement of scientific dis- covery and the pride of doing a difficult but valuable job. Sue Ryan Term Papers Plague Juniors, Seniors The main project of junior and senior English classes during the third quarter is the term paper. The papers, ranging from 1,000 to 2,500 words, have a variety of topics. The seniors are limited to some topic related to the study of language or literature. Juniors may chose historical topics in conjunction with Coach Bar- nobo’s American history classes. Students were polled con- cerning their anticipation of term papers. Some students feel term papers are not worth the time and effort: I think they re an injustice and too much work. —Marilyn Bugpi. Consolation is given to someone who has at least one use for them: “They’ll keep me warm when I bum them during the winter.' —Jeanne Brown. A senior refused to commit himself whatsoever. “I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may incriminate me. —Joe Bergeson. One person summed up the attitude of most juniors, who have never done a term paper. 1500 words sounds like a lot of words. —Bruce Mclnnis. Some students could think of only one word to describe what they thought about term papers: “Ugh! —Mary Preston. Mary Egdorf Tom Retzin.;er and Fred Haeelow uont at a biology ex. eriJient.

V « ,r“ a ' L F 1 y [i?j Yafes y Q o A 5 Page 4 Teens In Trouble — February, 1965 Probation Is ‘No Joke’ “At present, there are approximately 100 boys on probation in Beloit ’ according to Mr. Edward Schultz, Rock County Pro- bation Officer. What seems to be the reason for the tremendous number of young men and boys under the number of boys on probation in Beloit is almost double the number of boys in the neighbor- ing Janesville area, according to Mr. Schultz. The larger population in the Beloit-South Beloit area is one factor accounting for the mounting number of Beloit cases. Also, while the industries and job opportunities in Janesville require mostly skilled workers, Beloit is more heavily de- pendent upon heavy • industry and unskilled labor, thus attracting a somewhat less educated class of people in many instances. Still, 100 boys on probation is no small matter. The most common offense, says Mr. Schultz, is larceny, usually auto theft. There are some beer drinking cases, but there are usually other problems connected with this, such as truancy and school diciplinaiy problems. Once a boy is arrested after committing the offense, he is taken to county jail and placed in solitary confinement, pending hearing. It is at this point that a great part of a boy’s future is decided. After carefully reviewing the reports compiled on the accused, Mr. Schultz confers with the judge, and together they decide who is going to handle the case — the probation officer or the court. The court may recommend Duwayne Merlet mane shovel, Volunteer detention, Duwayne? supervision of the courts? The placing the boy in a private school, such as the Norris Foundation located outside of Mukwanago, or St. Michael’s at La Crosse. Cases warranting further court action are referred to the State School for Boys at Wales. Once a boy has been sent to Wales, it remains on his permanent record. Among other things, none of the armed services will accept him after he is released. The great majority of boys, however, are placed on pro- bation under the supervision of Mr. Schultz. During the pro- bationary period (usually one year; however it varies with the offense) there are many rules which must be complied with. A boy on probation must be at home each night by 9 o’clock; 11 o’clock is the latest he may stay out on a weekend, and then only with the written permission of his parents and probation officer. His driving privileges are revoked, and he may not ride with a young driver, unless accompanied by an adult. He must attend school every day, the only absence allowed is for illness. While on probation, the boy must report once a week to his probation officer, and must also show his report card each grading period. This is also a measure as to when a boy is ready to be released from probation. During the probation- ary period, a boy may not associate with anyone else under the supervision of the courts. While most of the boys are cooperative, Mr. Schultz finds that they do seem to have some trouble in keeping the rules. Parental influence has a definite effect on the boys. Nearly 1 3 of the boys on pro- bation are from broken homes. While most parents are co- operative with the courts and probation officer, they tend to “cover up’’ for their children. This attitude is more of a or hindrance than a help to the .child. Diane Haffey It Dropouts Don’t Stand A Chance It is a proven fact that a person who does not have a high school diploma hordly stands a chance. Today an employer doesn't necessarily want to know your skill; first he wants documentary proof of your status. Then, if your skill isn’t up to por, they will train you. There are apprenticeship programs for various industries today, and the only personnel the supervisors are looking for are high school graduates. These, with a certain amoun of background, may eventually work their way into manage ment. The dropout, with all possible luck, may reach the position of assistant foreman. It has been stated repeatedly that the man who knows how a job is done will olways be working for the man who knows WHY the job is done this or that way. Let's suppose a dropout enlists in the navy. The highest he’ll ever rank is Chief Petty Officer, which is equivalent to a sergeant in the army. When this man gets out of the service, where will he go? Who is going to hire, say, a thirty-year-old man without experience or a high school diploma? Unless he receives a very good break, only an employer who knows that this man needs the job badly, will hire him. So he makes an offer (usually low pay) and says take it or leave it. This man, of course, won’t get a much better offer, and so he is forced to take it. Today in industry, men who have worked thirty years in one place are being laid off. Why? Isn’t it because new men who are younger and have more education, and thus more to offer a business, are taking over? To me it isn’t worth dropping out at this stage of the game just to scratch the bottom of the bucket. Rod Meade ARISTA BELOIT CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL EDITOR.......... ASSISTANT EDITOR NEWS EDITOR.....

There are those who can give more, others not as much, but everyone in his own personal way is able to give and to help those he meets in his daily life. There are a number of specific events in my life that have made me realize more and more what brotherhood is. It began on that unforgettable day when we escaped from Hungary, three months after the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, and crossed the Austrian border to long-hoped-for safety and freedom. Willing to leave behind everything we ever had, we faced the world hope- fully, but wondering what was going to happen. There were four of us, Mom, Dad, my eight-year-old sister, and I. We were placed in refugee camps, where help was very much needed by all and most generously given. Both inside and outside the camp, I had to accept the situations, conditions and surroundings as they were and be ever grateful for them. Being a stranger in a new land, I tried to adjust to this new way of life of the Austrian people, which was so different from my own. In school, I became familiar with their customs, their manners and above all the German language. It was not easy to be unable to talk to anyone for no one understood me, everyone was a stranger and my parents were not present to comfort me. I had to forget about myself and my language, and try to learn their language, at first through signs and actions showing that I wanted their friendship and company. Sometimes a smile was all that was required, to show that they were my friends. I also had “foster parents” in England, who paid for my tuition and board without ever seeing or hearing about me Wasn’t this also brotherhood? During the summer vacation we refugee children were received into English families. None of these families were rich in any way, yet they took us in as one of their very own. Again we didn’t speak their language and they didn’t know ours, but this didn’t seem to matter. Two months later we went back to Austria. We had come to England empty-handed and they sent us back warmed, clothed, and loved. Not long aftor this we immigrated to Montreal, Canada. I be- came acquainted with another kind of people and another way of life Since I had to learn the English and French, required in Quebec I had to accept being put among first-graders and being regarded as one of them, even thougi I was now eleven, for I had to start at the very beginning. I had to accept the fact that every- one else looked at me, for I was different from them, but I was the same human person as any of them. Just a year ago, we came to the United States. This wasn’t such a great change, but still there were differences that had to be encountered. I am looking forward to becoming a citizen of the United States of America. Everyday I want to be more and more like an American teenager, proud to be able to study the history of this great country, and swear allegiance to the flag, but at the same time I must remain loyal to my Hungarian traditions and be proud of its history and its flag. Up to this time, I have been the one receiving, but now it is my turn to help others, through giving my friendship, and recogniz- ing that all persons are the same no matter what their external conditions may be. This is the brotherhood which will bring man closer to man and nation closer to nation. Martha Takacs Page 5 What Is Brotherhood? What is brotherhood? Most people would give the answer: Being nice to your neighbor and those of another race or religion. Yes, it is this, but much more. They say that charity begins at home. So does brother- hood. Brotherhood, according to the dictionary, means persons joined as brothers; association of men with some common aim, characteristics, beliefs, or professions.’ .characteristics, beliefs, or professions. School is a profession, believe it or not, and for most of us it is home about seven hours a day. Yet, do we actually practice brotherhood in school? Brotherhood can be prac- ticed by simply saying good-morning to a fellow student or smiling at him. If a student drops a book, and another picks it up, this is brotherhood. When he helps another to understand a difficult problem, he is practicing brotherhood. There are many other ways of practicing brotherhood than just celebrating Brotherhood Week annually.

The BCHS Varsity moved closer to the .500 mark with an easy 68-29 victory over Beloit Turner at the Turner gym Friday, Jan. 29. The Crusaders gave an indication of what was in store for the Trojans with a 18-8 first quarter bulge. This lead increased to 20 at half- time. Third quarter the score was a whopping 51-19 when Coach Melvin sent in the reserves to finish the job. Four Crusaders hit double figures. Mike Mowers led the group with 16; Don Smiley 13; Pete Piazza 12; and Lorry Scott 10. The following night Hone- negah extended their mastery over Beloit Catholic with a 65-54 victory. The loss was the sixth for the Crusaders in ten conference outings and the third straight at the hands of the Indians. Hqnonegah’s accuracy from the free throw line made the difference as Beloit canned only 14 to the Indian’s 21. Cold shooting and poor re- bounding added to the woes of the Beloit quint.

On Jan. 30, because of their win the previous weekend, our freshmen had advanced to the semi-finals game in which they were paired against Rockford Boylan, the only team that had beaten them so far in regular season play. A fine comeback in the fourth quarter just wasn't enough to overcome the lead that Boylan had. The Crusader frosh were out-scored in three quarters, 18-12, 17-12, and 15-6 respectively. The final score showed Boylan on top of a 60-48 game. This loss brought the Cru- sader frosh to the finals against Gilford, both trying for third place. The boys from Beloit immediately started out on the wrong foot, but they VoUR GwFATSHlfcT WeADQeAHTEftS I VINCE'S overcame this bad start and the final buzzer saw the BCH freshmen down Gilford 41-38 This game was won from the free throw line with the boys from Beloit scoring 15 out of 21 from the charity line to 4 out of 11 for Gilford. The individual scoring honors went to Chuck Lundgren of Gilford with 16 points. For the victors it was Jim Cousin with 12 points, and Kemil Basmagy, Lee Scott, and Dick Johnson each with 9 points. It was a happy Crusader freshman team as the final buzzer blew, and rightfully so, for they had done a lot of hard work for this moment.

In their latest outing, Jan. 28 at Evansville, the Crusader frosh posted a 63-34 win. Lee Scott led the team with 18 points and contributed heavily on the boards. Dick Johnson added another 13 points, and together they paced the Crusaders. The boys just couldn't cash in from the charity line, making only 3 out of 12. with 12 points.

Beloit Catholic High is proud to uphold this ancient tradition. The spoils are now on dis- play in the trophy case and come to our hollowed halls as o token from the van- quished SHARK conference football teams of 1964. Beloit Catholic has a right to be proud of this trophy. Rated as o possible 4th or 5th place in con- ference contention by both sports writers and coaches, BCHS was not to be con- sidered in her first year of conference play. However, the underdog pulled it off again and rolled up a 6-0 conference record by rolling over all competitors in sequence. October marked the start of conference ploy after a loss and a tie in outside competition. That day the 'Saders taught the Hononegah Indians a new war dance by scalping them. By the end of the next two weeks BCHS had stepped on the toes of North Boone and Marengo. The next conference action showed Catholic High on the road, first at South Beloit, whom they dumped, then moving to Winnebago to do a little stomping. The final game of the season was at Harvard for the- conference championship. Peter Piazza proved that their efforts were successful. Jim Cousin led the Cru- sader frosh with 20 points and also did a fine job on the boards. Lee Scott followed up Peter St. Peter February, 1965 Page 8 Sodalists Work, Relax On WCAC Weekend 1.

Greeting him were Jeff Fuhnnann (left), Fr. John Walsh (right) and Art Kapitanoff, Student Council president. Seniors Hear Rabbi Rabbi N. Landau of the Beloit Congregation B’nai Abraham, spoke to the Senior class Fridiay, February 26, about Judaism, how it differs from the Catholic religion, and his personal background re- lated to it. At the age of five. Rabbi Landau was sent to school, where a great deal of his time was devoted to religion. After attending High school and college, he spent four years in a seminary. His entire family was imprisoned and murdered by the Nazi Germans during World War II. He was liberated by the United States Army and brought to America. At present he lives in Chicago and comes to serve the Beloit Congregation on weekends. Rabbi Landau remarked that while there are certain qualities that distinguish one religion from another, the fundamentals are quite the same. They should teach us to open the doors to our hearts, minds, and souls. These doors should be open widely and on all sides, and not fenced with hate or selfish- ness. He went on to say that if we really know God, we must indicate this by sharing our blessings with others. As a result, we can hope to live in a world of peace and comfort Rabbi Landau touched on several topics concerning the customs of Judaism. At the age of thirteen, a boy is considered mature. He becomes responsible for the 613 Commandments, and enters into the Jewish Congregation through Barmitza, which is something like Con- firmation in the Catholic church. In the Jewish confession, there is no mediator between God and the sinner. The people recite their sins directly to God. If the offenses are veiy serious, the person usually visits the rabbi for penance, Rabbi Landau noted. Judaism agrees with Cathol- icism on several religious issues that confront the world today. Divorce, however, is allowed but frowned upon. It is considered as a last resort for two people who cannot live together in a peaceful manner. Rabbi Landau also stated that by mutual understanding and more good will, it is pos- sible for brotherhood to dwell in our lives. “The new must not conquer the old, ' because we are all descendants from immigrants who started the great task of building the land we love. No matter, what our race or creed may be, he said, we must remember that “no one can be loyal to mankind who is disloyal to his own knd.” judy Engler Around the World was the theme for the annual Press Club variety show given on March 2 in the afternoon for the students, and again in the evening for the public. The little old lady, played by Liz Charnon, received a free tour of the world for saving Green Stamps for the stamp stampede. Patar Von Kampan was the guide-moderator of the tour. “Horatius at the Bridge, given by some of Sister M. Sharon's Latin classes, and “Golden Gloves, given by the senior boys, were two of the highlights of the show. Latin American mu£ic was provided by the dance band under the direction of Mr. Farina. Nick Palay also played Attending the sixth annual Wisconsin Junior Classical League convention this year will be 32 Latin students, Sister M. Sharon and Sister M. Gregory from BCHS. All member JCL high schools in Wisconsin will journey to North high school, Sheboygan, on Saturday, March 27. Beloit Latinists, under the direction of Sister Sharon, will attend panels concerning Latin and the Romance lan- guages, and the use of Latin in science. BCHS was given the chal- lenge of designing the music booklet for the convention. Holly Broderick illustrated the cover with the theme “Latin, a Bridge to Culture. Daryl Van Landeghem is song di- rector, and Sue Maloney will play the accompaniment. The business department of the school, directed by Sister M. Febronia, mimeographed and assembled the booklets. Mr. Berman is the host at the convention, and Mr. George Peterson is the principal of the host school. The purpose of the JCL is to make today’s youth realize what ancient peoples have contributed to our civilization in ideas and culture.

Blocking is the coordination of the words, actions, songs, and dances. Fr. Lenahan said, The wonderfully intimate nature of the arena demands talent. He feels that the students have this talent and that they are trying hard to bring it forth. Eliza (Linda Osborn) and Higgins (Mike Hanish) have a special burden placed on them because of the number of lines they are required to memorize. Co-chairmen for the costume committee, Pam Van Landeghem and Diane Schaul, are collecting costumes and accesories. Anyone having appropriate costumes for this play are being asked to contact the committee Father plans on having all blocking and memorization of lines completed by April 1 so that there will be no last minute rush for the actois. The big problem,” says Fr. Lenahan, is that as of yet we can not use the stage.” But Kevin Darrah, chairman of the stage crew notes, We’re working our heads off.” Mrs. Watson is in charge of the choral ensemble groups, while Mr. Farina is preparing the dance band for the precise timing needed.

Vocations Week A skit on the religious vocations will be presented by each class in BCHS in ob- servance of Vocations Week, March 29-April 2. Peter Obligato, chairman of the activity, said the purpose of these skits is to give the students a better understand- ing of the religious vocations by active participation in a vocation assembly. Each skit will be about 10-12 minutes long. After each skit has been presented, a speaker will discuss the mes- sage of the skit and its ap- plication to each student. Costumes and scenery may be used, but the committee has asked that staging be kept simple so that it will not distract from the message of the skit. It is hoped that the skits Features Skits will aid those who are seriously thinking of a religious vocation and those whose children may someday be considering the call”. Carrol Garstecki Page 5 March, 1965 STUDENTS OF ST. MARY'S SPRINGS ACADEMY, Fond du Lac, discussed the necessity of an apostolic attitude in their every- day school life, at the first Catholic Youth Conference of Beloit CYC Conference Held March 14 A Youth Conference was held on Sunday afternoon, March 14, at Beloit Catholic High School. All Catholic youth of Beloit were invited. The most significant purpose of the conference was to bring together all Catholic students of Beloit in a common spiritual effort to promote better Christian spirit in the community. The program, sponsored by MCA units of Beloit parishes, the BCHS Sodality, and the BCHS Young Christian Stu- dents (YCS), began with Holy Mass in English at 12 o'clock, fol lowed by lunch in the cafeteria at 1 o'clock, and a general meeting in the gym at 1:30. Father James Doheny from St. Francis Seminary, Mil- waukee, spoke to the students. The Apostolic Youth Group from St. Mary's Springs Aca- demy, Fond du Lac, gave a demonstration of the way an apostolic is to be conducted to acquaint students with its procedures. It is hoped that the con- ference can be held four times annually. Discussions will vary, topics will pertain to the time of the year, and goals for students will be set. There will be four main conferences tied together by the monthly holy hour, and including Student Mass, Benediction, and brief discussions. JAMES KRUSSEL, junior at Beloit Memorial High School, was the student chairman of the Catholic Youth Conference, held Sunday, March 14.

Students are Pete Obligato and Shirley Kulawinski. Spanish Department m — Larger than Ever” This year there are more Spanish students than ever before in the history of the school. Mr. Mauel has two first year classes with 63 students, and a second year class with 33 students. There are plans for a third year class next year. At pre- sent Linda Osborn is the only third year student. She takes a correspondence course from the University of Wis- consin. Mr. Mauel is taking a dif- ferent approach this year. To help the students learn dia- logue, he has many poster pictures. He thinks that they help students understand what they are saying and make their speech more automatic. The Spanish classes have both oral and written tests. Oral students are given and corrected by a second year student. Mr. Mauel tapes questions and has the ad- ministrating student show pictures. This helps the per- son taking the test. For diversion and for help with the language, the class sings songs and listens to taped conversations. Kathy Murphy P«R 6 March, 1965 Varsity “Bombs” All-Stars Intromural All Stars chal- lenged the Beloit Catholic High Varsity on Thursday evening, March 4 and were soundly beaten by the score of 85-62. At the outset, the All Stars jumped to a 4-0 lead. However, sharp-shooting Don Smiley, Larry Scott, and Mika Mowers closed the gap and then spurted to a 27-9 score at the end of the first quarter. Although the front line of the Varsity con- trolled the boards, they became too aggressive and were re- peatedly called for offensive violations. The second quarter saw the Varsity race to a 38-18 lead, scoring almost at will. With Tim Lowria and Pat Monahan swishing in some long bombs, the Stars rallied to cut the deficit to 47-29 at the half. The Varsity exploded at the start of the third quarter to bury the All Stars with a 12 point outburst. With the score at 59-29, Mika Mowors picked up his fifth personal. This lack of height in rebounding seemed to stun the Varsity, as it was then the Stars turn to retaliate. Fast-breaking, they outscored their opponents, 17-2. Nick Poloy had 11 consecutive points during this stanza. Thereafter, the Varsity righted themselves and matched every basket by the Stars by two. In the last quarter, with Don Smiloy driving the lane, cleared by Poto Piazza's picks, plus Scott's and Tom 0’Donohue's side shots, the Varsity pulled away to lead 80-50. Here, Smiley fouled out, and the Varsity was left with “four on the floor. Immediately the All Stars responded. Peter Van K am pen and David Luebke picked off missed shots and stuffed them back in, Luebke being especial- ly effective under the Stars' offensive boards, and the Varsity’s lead dwindled. With one minute left, however, it was 81-62 Varsity. Two long shots by O’Donahue and Scott, the latter’s at the buzzer, ended the game at 85-62. Larry Scott scored the nets for 30 points, to lead all scorers, while teammate Don Smiloy had 17. The Stars were led by Nick Paley and David Luobko with 15 and 12.

Ideas at olp George BRosVevr J. B. GEORGE Freshmen dose With 17-3 Record It was tho ond to an almost perfect season. A win of 77-58 over Janesville St. Mary’s was the final crown. In that gaaae Coach Barnabo was able to use all 17 of his play- The boys from St. Mary’s made a valiant effort to over- come the lead set by the Crasader frosh, but it was too late. Three boys hit double figpres for the victors • Lee Scott, Jim Cousin, and Dick Johnson with 20, 15 and 10 points. In their Feb. 9 game at Orfordville the Crusader frosh got off to a slow start, but they recovered sufficiently by the second quarter to walk off with a 46-37 win. Perhaps it was that short two-minute talk by Coach Barnabo between quarters that did it. High scoring honors for the winners went to Lee Scott, Tim Ghor- rity and Kemil Basmagy with 16. 9, and 8 points respectively. On Feb. 6 the Crusader frosh lost their third game of the season, this time by a margin of 64-31. The boys from Beloit were outscored in every garter, but their good sports- manship went to work and they took the loss in stride. High scorer in the game was J. Phillips with 21 points. Against Brodhoad on Feb. 1 it was again the Crusader frosh on top 47-30. High scor- ers in the game were Loo Scott and Dick Johnson with 16 and 11 points. And likewise against Janesville on Jan. 28, it was the BCH frosh on top 63-34. In the words of Coach Bar- nabo at the beginning of the season, “It’s going to be a lot of hard work, but I know yon guys can do it. And that’s just what they did, winning 17 out of 3 of their games and taking third place in the Guilford-Boy lan tourna- ment. High scoring honors for the season went to Jim Cousin, who damped in 186 points. The other five top scorers were Lae Scott with 177 points, Dick Johnson with 169 points, Komil Basmagy with 132 Tim Gharrity with 113 points, and Jim Zaher with 77 points.

The biggest upset of the tournament came on Sunday, Feb. 14, as KopitanoH defeated LvuMte 45-37 in a hard fought con- test. The big difference was the control of the offensive and defensive boards by Kapitanoff, plus the 19 and 18 points thrown in by T. Tibbits and A. KopitanoH. The next game saw Van Kampon shade Paley 53-52 on a jump shot by T. PfoH with 8 seconds left. N. Paley hit for 25 in the losing cause, while PfoH was high with 17 for the victors. The first game saw Pevfcins throwing up a stingy defense to limit Carney to long shots from the outside. The winners pulled away after the half and were never challenged. Perkin� scored 23 points. There was no defense when Van Kampen demolished Kap- itonoH. Scoring at a rapid dip. Von Kompen built up a com- manding 21-3 lead at the first stop, and applying pressure constantly, eased into the finals. L. Goodrich hit 27 in the win. Thursday night’s championship game was even for the first quarter. Then Van Kampen ran Perkin� off the court, personally escorting them by scoring 7 ooosecutive points. The turning point came when both teams were awarded the bonus situation. Here Von Kampen'� team repeatedly converted while Perkin could not. After J. Bergesoa fouled out for Perkins' team in the second quarter, Von Kampen had control of both boards and also the game, ending with a score of 55-36. ions was as follows: Balanced scoring by the P.

After dropping our Saders 62-53 St. Joseph herself was eliminated by Racine St. Catherine. Setting a typically slow pace, BCHS failed to take advantage of golden oppor- tunities. Passing up good shots, missing picks, drives, and fouling early hurt the Saders. Despite these in- consistencies BCH managed to procure a 13 point lead midway through the second quarter - a lead which was promptly washed out by nine straight turnovers. The second half showed St Joseph taking advantage of poor defense and with a “touch of luck’’ on some fantastic shots they increased their lead to 10 at the final buzzer. Larry Scott had one of his most lucrative nights canning more than 20 points. He was backed by John Winger’s 15 from the outside. The 1964-65 basketball season was one of the poorest vm g mm THE FIRST PLACE INTRAMURAL TEAM of BCHS is headed by Peter Van Kampen (F, 1).

Finishing conference play third from the bottom with a record of 4-10 and defeating only Turner and South Beloit, Beloit Catholic rated only one honorable mention in the All-Conference standings - one that went to senior guard Don Smiley. Nonconference play only added to Sader High miseries by contributing 5 more losses, 2 to arch foe Edgewood, and one each to Clinton, Honon egah (Durand Christmas Tourney) and St. Joseph’s. Dispite all the gloom shrouding the “late” hardwood season, a few bright spots managed to break through. Seniors Mike Mowers and Don Smiley ranked among the hig£i scorers for the SHARK Con- ference. Don Smiley rated All- Conference honorable mention and John Winger showed Coach Melvin what to look for next year with his deadly outside shooting. Many will be the memories of our games, for even in losing much is learned, both by players and spectators and many exciting moments are shared. Congratulations go to Mike Mowers, who was elected most valuable player and to Don Smiley and -Lorry Scott, who were chosen co-captains of the Catholic High Basketball team. The ARISTA sports staff sincerely urges the student body to get out and back our spring sports teams. With track, baseball, tennis, and golf there should be something to interest any sports minded student. Peter Piazza PANCAKES ANYONE?

In a kickoff assembly Feb. 23, Mr. George Lepak, Home and School chairman, and Art Kapitanoff, Student Council president, outlined the fund-raising program. Besides soliciting stamps from their homes and other rela- tives, they noted, students could contribute cash. They urged students to make the drive an occasion for personal lenten sacrifice by contributing a share of their earnings or pocket money each week. Each class is also permitted to hold one bake sale to boost its funds. Classes are competing against each other in order to achieve the first prize, a half-day trip to the Wagon Wheel where the winners will have a choice of ice skating or swimming. Second prize will be free admission to a pa rent-student dance in May. The administration also promises a half-day free from school to everyone if the $3,000 mark is surpassed. The competition is being run on a percentage basis. To be eligible for a prize, however, a class must meet a quota equiva- lent to $3 per student. Thus the freshmen will have to donate $400 or its equivalent in stamps. The sophomores will need $340 worth of stamps or money. The juniors will have to scratch up $300, while the seniors must add $350 to the total. The drive officially started March 1, and will continue until the end of Lent. Each Friday Mrs. Charles Petit and Mrs. Eugene Hudson total and tally class contributions.

Pickering, right (Kevin Van Kampen). of Prof. Higgins, left (Mrke Hanish), while Elrza Doolittle (Linda Osborn) listens intently. My Fair Lady Gets Go’ Sign Toke a spectacular musical which has won many acclumations; sparkle it with the best actors and actresses that BCHS has to offer; liven it with the music of the BCHS band. Couple these with stage props, costumes, and a lot of hard work, and you have the great BCHS production of the great musical “My Fair Lady.” After four months of rehearsals, organizing, and obstacles, the sign is GO for the launching of the performances on April 29. Only through the cooperative effort of all those involved will this Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe musical be a success. Certainly the greatest part of the credit must go to Father Lena- han, the director, who started early in the year to get the play rolling. Linda Osborn, as Eliza Doolittle, Mike Hanish, as Henry Higgens, and Kevin Van Kampen, as Col. Hugh Pickering. ha e put in many hours a night on weekdays and weekends to perfect their roles. They have a difficult task of learning and coordinat- ing their many lines, songs, actions, and dances. All of the other actors must also spend a great deal of time practicing their parts, for the play is only as good as each one of the actors. In “My Fair Lady” there are many people working backstage who receive little recognition, yet without them the show would be impossible. Kevin Darrah is in charge of the stage crew, and Jeff Fuhrman is stage manager. Liz Chamon and Jim West are co-chairmen of the make-up committee, Diane Schaul and Pam Van Landegham are in charge of costumes. Sandy Schultz and Mary Egdorf are student ticket chairmen.

Congratulations to Peter Van Kampen who was elected Kiwanis Boy of the Month. Why Not? Veronica Meyers April, 1965 Page 4 Man Proposes - God Disposes Think of all the wonderful things man has done to beau- tify our country. He has built huge skyscrapers, beautiful monuments, gleaming steel bridges, and intricate highway systems. He has devised ways to forecast the weather weeks in advance, so that he can prevent some undesirable effects. Man has improved nature by conservation methods and genetics. He has also reduced working hours to pro- vide for more leisure time. Yet in a single second God can and sometimes does destroy all these. The floods in northern Wisconsin, the recent tornados, the numerous East coast hurricanes, and uncontrollable forest fires show the might of our Creator. But why does God sometimes destroy man’s progress and accomplishments. Mon is a proud creature, and rightly so, because of his many achievements. Still man must be humble and realize that he is very dependent upon the Almighty. These “tra- gedies could be God’s way of reminding men of their limited abilities.

A leader may not always be as popular as everyone else, but a leader is not everyone else. A leader is a per- son respected and skillful in his field. One person may be a leader in athletics, another in scholastics, or another in student government. No matter where the leader leads, people will follow him if he excels in his field and is truly a good leader. Today there is a great demand for leaders, and it is our obiigatign to meet this demand.

Representing the winning cfass in the Stampbook Stampede are (front) sophomores Marie Murphy, Jan Goldsworthy, Kathy Rahom, and Carol Warriner, (back) Sister Ronalda, class moderator, Ken Bach, Sue Ryan, Karen Zimbrich, and Kevin Van Kampen. Stampede Causes Strange Actions Anyone coming to BCHS during the past few weeks would probably have seen some students wearing on their blouses or shirts stickers reading “Sophomores Save Stamps or “Junity Forever. If the visitor had been lucky enough to talk to these students, he would probably have seen, too, that they had yellow, orange or green tongues. In the morning, during homeroom period, he would have been apt to notice another strange thing about these students. They would dart in and out of their homerooms, peeking around comers and slinking down the hall, carrying large envelopes or boxes under their shirts and accompanied by a contingent of bodyguards. This might have seemed strange to an outsider, but to the students it was a very serious matter. This was the time of the Stamp Stampede! When the parents and faculty decided not to have a Mardi Gras festival this year, they persuaded the Student Council to sponsors contest among the classes to raise money needed for the school. With the Student Council they decided that the students should save stamps and money and turn them in to their homeroom repre- sentatives. In order to increase their funds, classes would each be allowed one bake sale. The winning class, contest directors decided, would be re- warded with a half day free and a chance to swim or skate at the Wagon Wheel. The runnerup class would be admitted free of charge to a Home and School sponsored dance. The mood of the contest caught on quickly. In a few days class effort was in full swing and money came rolling in. Final results were announced Wednesday afternoon, April 14. The SOPHOMORES were the winning class with a total of $892.15 or $7.63 per student. Coming in second were the JUNIORS with $764.03 or $7.57 per student.

GEORGE w April, 1965 Page 6 Baseball Season Opens With Win, Good Outlook In its first gome, April 8, the BCHS baseball team scored a 4-1 victory over North Boone. Jon Winger did a brillant job on the mound, allowing only three hits. A double by Earl Pen- newell and two singles each by Don Smiley and Art Kapitanoff made Winger’s job easier. North Boone scored its only run in the top of the third on a hit batter, a stolen base and a double error. Although the team won its first game, the baseball out- look isn’t as bright as it has been in former years. Still BCHS can look forward to a good season. Even though there are only five returning letter- men, the underclassmen are well versed in the strategy of the game and should prove valuable. Returning lettermen are Don Smiley, Pete Piazza, Larry Scott, Art Kapitanoff, John Winger and Jan Toubl. Senior Dan Bums, junior Bruce Mclnnis, and sophomores Brian Luebke, Earl Pennewell, Jim Heidt, Rick Asplund and Mike Luttig will all contribute considerably to the cause. James Wright Art Kapitanoff, Rick Asplund; Mike Lattif, mmi Joe Toubl stand ready for baseball action. Marquette Coach Is Gaesf Speaker Returning Seniors Bolster Golf Team This year BCHS is looking forward to its finest golf team. Jerry Conway, a two time letter earner, will fill the number one spot and add a professional flare to the team. Backing up Conway will be a host of senior veterans, in- cluding Tom Carney, Frank Linde, 'Dennis Nuciforo, John McLaughlin, Nick Paley, Tom Pfaff, and Dennis Panicucci. Seven promising freshmen recruits will provide zeal and reserve power: Barney Barber, Mike George, Dick Johnson, John Ryan, Mike Keough, Mike Mertes, and Terry Kirkeeng will have opportunity to show their ability. Mr. Jerry Thomas will again coach the BCHS team and provide pro tips for the team members. The first match on April 12 with Brodhead was post- poned because of bad weather. Other matches will be with Edgerton, Marion of Woodstock, Boylan, Whitewater, and Edge wood. Two sophomores will return this year. Frank Alongi will lead the attack, while Daryl Van Landegham gives his support. Daryl Van Landegham J'JjJU Pancake Breakfast Draws large Crowd The BCHS Athletic As- sociation held its second annual Pancake Breakfast Sunday morning, April 4. The event was termed a great success. The association served some 1500 people and cleared a profit of $800. Coach Bamabo said its success was due to the enthusiastic ticket selling by the Lettfcrmen. They accounted for $650. The general feeling is that next year the “breakfast” should last all day, but this, of course, would involve much more work. This year some 75 people gave their time and effort and still more help was needed. The money from the break- fast will help finance the spring sports, since they do not have a revenue of their own. BCHS athletes and their coaches have voted special thanks to the men of the Athletic Association who gave up their Sunday morning to help make the Pancake Breakfast a big success. Art Kapitanoff The BCHS Athletic As- sociation will hold its annual banquet on May 6 in the school gymnasium. Guest speaker will be Mr. A1 McGuire, head bas- ketball coach at Marquette University. In his first year as head coach, Mr. McGuire led his young Warriors to vic- tory over highly regarded St. John’s and Wisconsin. Awards will be made at the banquet to many outstanding athletes. These awards in- clude the Sportsmanship Award, given by Kruger Sports Shop; the Athletic and Academic Award, presented by Birth’s Sporting Goods; and the Athletic Achievement Award, presented by the Beloit Catholic Athletic Association. Major letters will be awarded to varsity players while underclassmen will receive minor letters and ninilT Cheerleaders will receive cihrt letters, numerals, or pas Appending on their Jaaes Wright As Mr. Hal Tower supervises.

In singles competition, BCHS netters won eight out of nine matches. Tha tennis team left un- touched by graduation this year, lost no varsity players. Returning this year are sopho- mores Tom Wright and Frank Polizzi, junior Jim Wright, and senior Bill Hackett. Coach Mauel is relying on their experience plus the added strength of Bemie Zickert, Pat Monahan and John Polizzi to form a strong team nucleus. The team is looking for ward to improving upon its 5-6 record of last year and again defeating Madison Edge- wood. They will be faced with stiff competition from such teams as Kenosha, St Joseph’s, Waukesha, Boylan, Big Foot, Clinton, Edgerton, and Edge- wood. Tom Wright Page 8 April, 196 LOCAL WINNER EXHIBITED One of the photos recentlj exhibited at BCHS was this Quill and Scroll prize-winning photo taken by Bob Blakely ol Beloit Memorial High School. The photo appeared in a Sep- tember issue of BMHS In- crescent. Besides being declared a national Quill and Scroll winner, the photo also took first place at the High School Editors Day conference at Madison in the fall. The ARISTA staff congratulates Bob and the Increscent. Students Find Photos Magnificent, Super Did you see it? Did you see the photo exhibit we had at our school? If you didn’t, maybe you can get a picture of it through the thoughts of these students. Pot Rich (’68) thought, “The photography was just mag- nificent!” Kevin Van Kompen (’67) said, “The exhibit was absolutely fantastic!” Margaret FitzGerald (’65) felt that, “The exhibit was good, because it was something different for our school.” Bill Heidt (’68) agreed with Margaret when he said, “I thought the pictures were excellent, the captions clever, and we were very fortunate to have the exhibit at BCHS.” Some students commented on particular pictures. Mary Koeh- ler (’66) and Ann Toffanetti (’66) were especially fascinated by the clarinet player. “We wish we had his style.” Marjorie Meyers (’67) expressed herself poetically by saying, “The bride from the Bronx stole the show; she possessed that heavenly glow.” Jone Aeschlimann (’67) commented that, “The picture of the monkey was especially good. It reminded me of some people I know!” Cindy Wieland, however, felt that, “Some pictures were too gruesome and depressing.” Most of the students agreed it was an excellent exhibit. Jane Trafford (’67) summed it all up by saying the exhibit was, “Supercalifragilisticexpialdocious!” Barbara Hudson Joe Dergeson, Tom Carney, and Dave Griffon admire one of the pictures at the Photo Exhibit. Resemble anyone you know, boys? ’Detachment’ Wins for Sophomores The sophomores took first place honors for their Vocation Day skit on April 2. “De- tachment” was narrated by Ann George. The main charac- ters were Kevin Van Kompen and Gloria Sierra, who por- trayed a young engaged couple. In previous years Vocation Day had been celebrated by listening to guests speak on the religious way of life. This year a student committee felt the meaning of a vocation would be understood better if the idea could be illustrated by skits. “An Inspiration for a Vocation,” adapted from “The Wizard of Oz,” and narrated by Sandy Schultz, captured second place for the juniors. Jackie Zahn, Karla Carroll, Tom Sauser, Bob Pospischil,. Joanne Milatzo, John Good, and Mary Carney played the main parts. A choral reading, “A Call for Clare,” by the freshmen class took third place. This skit was narrated by Cindy Koehler with Peter St. Peter and Cathy Lauer as the main characters. “The Road of Life,” pre- sented by the seniors and narrated by Mary Lou Finley, received fourth place. The parts were acted by Tim Lowrie, Pete Van Kompen, Pete Piazza, Marcia Evenson, Al Kobus, and Mike Hanish. Chairmen for the day were senior Pete Obligato, junior Jeon Behrman, sophomore Barb Hudson, and freshmen Borb Bilof and Jane Foreman. job of judging the skits were: Sr. Aletta, Fr. Nilles, Fr. Lenahan, Mr. Farina, and Mr. Mauel. Father Dennis Coyle, ot St. John Vianney parish in Janesville, Rock Deanery Vocation Director, presented a few closing ideas on vocations.

Maribeth Cousin Pag. 2 Summertime What will you be doing five weeks from now and through- out your whole vocation? Will it be just another summer or will it be of some use to you? A summer job might be financially helpful and at the same time give you experience for your later life. Juniors planning on a college education could visit some colleges or at least start thinking about it. They could take a course at summer school in order to keep in shape and prepare for later studies. Entering clubs would give you a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and handle new personalities. Keep Physically Fit! Swimming, golfing, tennis, and all of your favorite sports should play an important role in your summer activities. And always remember, even if you are not able to take a trip, you can visit many different lands through leisure reading. Have a happy summertime! Nancy Belvedere Athletics - A Key to Manhood Some not associated with the world of sports have often wondered at the perseverance and persistence of an athlete? Those of us who are “in the know” of the time and effort put into an athlete’s high school career, realize the fruition of our athlete’s efforts in the victories which the perserv- ing athlete achieves. With these obvious fruits come the underlying victories which do not appear on the scoreboard, but do appear in th� athlete. They are the victories that the athlete has over himself and his weaknesses. He must first have the correct attitude toward the sport which he is about to participate. A true athlete enters the sport with the intention of doing his best in victory and in defeat. There is no place in competitive sports for winners or losers. Athletics is a contest of winners. These traits of maturity are the essentials needed for he forming of the men of the world, needed to meet today’s many demands in life. Next, the athlete must have the perseverence to “stick it out” through the whole season. Finally the athlete must finish the season in the peak of his efforts; his greatest effort should be in his last of athletics. The winners of these underlying victories in athletics will be truly the winners in the life of time and eternity. Kevin Van Kampen May, 1965 Open Letter to the Seniors Dear Seniors, You’re on your last leg of high school now. Soon you’ll be saying, “Remember when we dissected worms in biology and marched in English class? Remember our first place Viking Ship? Most of you are probably glad high school is over and some may never even think about it again. Then you will go off to college or get a full-time job. You will begin to think of high school as Kid’s stuff”, and you may joke about the “dumb little things you use to do, or worry about, or wish for. True, these high school hopes and dreams may be small compared to the important decisions you will face some day. Nevertheless always remember that high school is the im- portant foundation of your later life. You are a great class. Never forget BCHS and good luck in the future!

The final curtain call was over, the applauce had sub- sided, and BCHS had experienced one of the greatest dramatic successes it had ever seen. A close look at this mosaic shows that each part, regardless of siz£, was essential to the final picture. In the center were Linda Osborn and Mike Honish, whose hours of hard work made the greatest cast contributions. Peter and Kevin Van Kompen added color to the mosaic with their contrasting rowdy and gentlemanly performances. Many other actors and actresses exhibited their talent and added greatly to the show. Among them were Jan Toubl, Barb Carter, Pat Choudoir and Lindo Tower. Surrounding the key performers were the servants. Ascot singers and Cockney street people. Their success was attributed to long hours of practice and the direction of Mrs. Watson. Mr. Forina and the BCHS band provided musical background for the show. Completing the mosaic were the costume cnmmit e, headed by Pom Van Landeghem and Diane Schaul, and the makeup people headed by Liz Chamon and Jim West. Kevin Darrah and the stoge crew were responsible for the excellent lighting, props and stage management. All the pieces of the mosaic are now accounted for. All that was needed to put them in place was a steady hand and a strong will. The cement which was to keep these pieces in place and withstand pressure was Fathor Lenahan. Before work on the play began, the general outlook was some- what pessimistic. Many persons believed that so difficult an undertaking could not be very successful. Fother Lenahan, how- ever, believed that it could be done, and he strove for perfection in every detail. And perfection was what he got. Each performance received a standing ovation. As Colonel Pickering might have put it, “You said that you could do it, and indeed you did!” „ .. _ .

Nearly every two weeks this announcement is heard over the P.A. What is this MCA group? The Missionary Cenacle Apostolate is an organization of zealous souls reaching out in all possible directions to help and save other souls. The first Junior Cenacle unit in Beloit was established in 1962 in Our Lady of the Assumption Parish by Sister Marie Therese of the Missionary Servants of the Most Blessed Trinity. Last fall two more parish units were organized by these sisters who wear hats instead of veils. At present Sister Charles Margaret is moderator of the O.L.A. unit Sister Mary Louise guides the St Thomas unit and Sister Grace Mary is in charge of the St. Jude unit. Each unit is com- posed of Catholic students in grades 9 through 12 in both the Catholic and public schools of Beloit. Organization Is Not Entirely Spiritual The Missionary Cenacle Apostolate was founded in 1909 by Father Augustine Judge, C.M. He is also the founder of the Mis- sionary Servants of the Most Blessed Trinity. Father Judge had found, through personal experience, that the greatest force in the Church of modem times was the influence of the layman. The ideal of the Cenacle is: Be Good, Do Good, and Be a Power for Good. Goodness stans at home, and in order to help others do good one must be good himself. This is the essence of the Cenacle. The organization is not only spiritual, however. MCA members constantly practice the Corporal Works of Mercy. Some of the boys and girls help with the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine classes, write to prisoners, provide free babysitting so that parents can attend Parent Educator Classes, visit the sick in hospitals, and visit the old in rest-homes. Each parish MCA group meets separately twice a month.

She is the top-ranking contestant among 800 entrants throughout Wisconsin. Barb was the winner of the contest last year, and was honored at Madison by the governor and his committee officers, and awarded an Award of Merit, and a $100 Savings Bond. The Award of Merit is an award which is signed by the governor. To be a consecutive winner of this contest is very unusual. but Barb proved that it CAN be done! All the applicants, in paint- ing their posters, had to en- courage employers to consider handicapped applicants for work on the same basis as they con- sider the unimpaired. Barb's slogan indicates that she felt this way. It was “They Need - YOU - Need Them: Hire the Handicapped . It was painted in black and red. Again Barb will be the guest at Madison on May 24, where she will tour the Capitol, meet the governor, attend the luncheon, with the governor as host, be presented all the awards, and finally tour WISC- TV station. 3arb's parents will ac- company her to Madison. Fr. Lenahan, BCHS art advisor, will also be a guest of the governor and will accompany Barb. Besides being a good artist. Barb is also musically inclined. She plays the violin, and is taking private lessons learning how to play the cello. She plays with the Beloit Youth Symphony. Barb is the president of the Junior and Senior Treble Clef Club. Barb is an honor student at BCHS. She says she “draws just for fun , and, has never taken any lessons. If it is just luck, as Barb likes to think, then BCHS wishes her luck next year if she plans to enter again.

She is a member of the Junior Classical League and attended the March JCL meeting at Sheboygan. Last winter, she played the part of Mis' Moran in the freshman play. She has also been accepted as a member of the Press Club. Martha hopes to be accepted into the Library Guild when new membership is considered. As a member of the MCA, she works at the St. Thomas Nur- sery. This summer she will play the organ at church. Marching as a color guarc with the band occupies part of her school time. Outside of school, Martha likes to sew, knit, and swim. She plans to attend White- water College, majoring in elementary education.

Special honors were given to Al Kobus, winner of the KruegeT Sportsmanship award; Pot Piazza, recipient of Hirth’s Scholastic-Athletic Achievement award, and Don SmiUy, who received the Athletic Achievement trophy awarded by the Athletic May, 1965 Association. In addition, 26 senior athletes received service pins from the Letterman’s Club. Guest speaker for the oc- casion was Al McGuire, head basketball coach at Marquette University. In his talk, Mr. McGuire emphasized scholar- ship as well as athletic ability. He said that no college was interested in an athlete who cannot “hit the books when necessary. He stressed the fact that to be a success, you must be ready to meet a new challenge every day. The defeats or victories of the past must be forgotten in favor of the future. Mr. McGuire told the Cru- saders to try to specialize in one sport, but admitted that this was all but impossible in a small school such as BCHS. Letter Winners MANAGERS - D. Klein. T. Garstecki, M.

Beloit Catholic High School, since its founding in 1953, has produced many outstanding leaders in every walk of life. Bubbling with confidence, and bursting with pride, many of our alumni have already tasted success. An important reason for the good fortune of our former students is that while they were in high school their teachers and some interested leaders of the community held up high standards to those eager young people. Awards for excellence in spiritual, mental, physical, and social development are pre- sented each year to deserving students. One of these annual awards is the Msgr. O'Reilly Citizenship Award. One BCHS senior boy recipient is selected by his class- mates on the basis of practical Catholicism, school spirit, scholastic achievement, and pride in his personal appearance. This year's recipient was Peter Obligato. Pat Spano received this year's Madonna Citizenship Award. This award is presented annually by the Beloit Catholic Women's Club to the outstanding senior girl selected by her classmates for similar qualifications. Each year the Music Department presents the John Philip Sousa Award to a deserving band member who has shown the greatest interest in the music department. The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine of St. Jude's Parish presents the St Pius X Knowledge of the Faith Award to the senior who has achieved the highest average in four years’ study of religion. At the annual Athletic Banquet on May 6 three senior boys were cited for their excellent achievements in sports over a four-year period. Hirth's Sport Shop presented the Scholastic- Athletic Achievement Award to senior Peter Piazza. Al Kobus received the Sportmanship Award from Kruger’s Sports Shop, while Don Smiley was the recipient of the Athletic Award presented by the Beloit Catholic High School Athletic Association. The Leon Peterson Award is presented annually to one student from any one of the area high schools who best exemplifies brotherhood. In each school one student is annually cited for such exemplification. The Beloit Civic Theater Group honors each year the BCH student who has contributed to the greatest extent of his talents and time to the dramatic presentations at Beloit Catholic High School. Two awards are presented annually to business students. The Noma Award is presented to the outstanding secretarial student and the John Robert Gregg Medal to the outstanding shorthand student.
