Rabelais fik kSk aes treasons To the Creature of Frankenstein Poor creature Tortured by so many Yet more human than most You were the soul of a race Reborn in innocence Whose first word was beautiful — strangely appropriate although you could not comprehend a meaning Man taught you its philosophy: to live is to be beautiful to be beautiful is to live and your source of life is the true reflection of a mirror And so you lived life in beauty And enjoyed beauty in life Until the mirror showed the reflection of ugly And that one agonizing cry for help the tears of a misbegotten creature Ripped to shreds the meaning of life and beauty And left you nothing But a self for which you could not comprehend a meaning Man taught you its philosophy: to be ugly is to be feared to be feared is to be evil and that which is evil must be destroyed But you could not be destroyed not your body not your beauty which was retained in sparks of a truer life which no ugly man could comprehend J. Knight Sometimes I feel like a tree being blown and swayed and tossed in the wind. I branch out reaching for something, someone But there is nothing. I grow big and strong and people, they lean on me. Yet I find no one to lean on. People come and utilize my shade and my breeze yet they bring me nothing. No love, No friendship, No understanding, Nothing. I give them shade and strength I ' m so tall and so strong yet so weak — without you. — Ginny Lauer y J f 14 L a uers ureases h Being you — Makes you so beautiful That just being near you Creates new life in me. It must be love, or — More than just love! But what? Ah, I know. Being you! It ' s real It ' s there And it ' s beautiful. It ' s clean, It ' s pure, It ' s love, In its natural form. Seeing you Being you Makes me want To be me — To love, To be beautiful, To be cleansed By the essence Of being me Which is beautiful . . .

I know, because you see I lost a part of me. Martha Robbins What Is Now? And w hat is now? Now is the present, they say But to have a present, now must have a past All things in life have a past and a now Do all things have a future? Now is the day, soon a yesterday Now is living, soon to be a past From the beginning of time There has been a now. To make the best of now The future must be planned For tomorrow is yesterday ' s future And today is everyone ' s now. Mary LeeGeones cold! free! feeling great! walking at night to clear my brain fresh air to rid me of those cobwebs all over in my head thoughts now running rampant shouting to be let out to be freed, like me this night I really am alive martha robbins GOOD Love and You Each of us love in his own way We each step to a different drummer The love of greed, the love of life Best of all, the love of man. Each man ' s love to himself alone We can ' t see in his mind To know if his love is selfless Or know if God approves his love. We love the best way we know how As we mature, we should love better But we know this and know full well Love for mankind is beautiful. Mary Lee Geones The notes gently filter through the tired mind. They subdue the busy work that forgets it ' s bedtime. I lose myself — temporarily suspended — in the smooth and steady beat. Guitars, violins, all strings vibrating melody. And when the song is finished the tune remains to orchestrate my dreams. 16 — Janet Gildi Here And Now My favorite place to be with you is here. My favorite place to be with you is now. Because. although living with memories is nice, creating them is better. Paul Bauman He is a centaur beneath a willow dreaming softly phantasy makes us vulnerable to shooting stars and wishing stars impossible stars that trace their journeys through our hearts and leave us cold or searching, dreamers yet. Vicky Ramirez Smile Like a magnificent white swan moving slowly across the water, let a smile glide upon your face. Seemingly effortless motion dominating the entire scene makes your presence a placid place. Beautifully soft ripples touching an endless destination refreshes things outside your course. The magic of your pleasant smile showing no signs of strain or ending creates a wonderful life source. Paul Bauman What is the Church now — Without a faith to give it existence? A steeple rising from above other man-creations pointing the way to salvation? It was a thing of beauty, once. When its timbers held the one life of many people. Now, only hollow voices echo a faint ghost of what might have been. Jean Knight Cindy Glassley 17 Consider the lonely unicorn He looks dejected and forlorn. A mythical creature some might think While others claim it ' s quite extinct. Even though I ' ve never seen one I don ' t doubt there ' s ever been one. Think of the humiliation If you were such an odd creation. What did Mother Nature do? She gave it one horn ' stead of two. I would not like the shame and scorn That comes from having just one horn. JanetGildea Of Crystalline Jamaica The gold key slipped into the bitter cold lock. A turn and crystalline ice molecules shattered and dissipated. A thick wooden door hinged open into the crusty room. The bachelor removed his key from its prison and dropped it back into a shallow pants pocket. His hat was grapled by an aged hand and placed upon a musty coffee table. The dead-black overcoat found its hook. A stuffy couch wheezed as it accepted its owner. Aged eyelids dropped in relief, and cracks in the old man ' s face receded into nothingness. Culmy eyebrows bushed forward as a ledge of shrubbery and cast wicked shadows over the sleepy eyes. His brow rippled as a sea at unrest. Hollow cheek bones receded to great depths. A jagged nose marked a pinnacle over this rugged terrain. His weary bones settled and folded. He slept. Five hours, seventeen point four six minutes. Eyelids spurted upward! A violent green glow shone from empty sockets, then slipped away, revealing plalinous green globes with opaque white pupils. Weary muscles gave a mighty heave, and the sorcerer sat erect. A filmy smile raced over his lips. He reached his hands out in front of him. They sparkled but an instant, and his whole body was engulfed in a glistening yellow splurr of energy. The light grew, and reached the room ' s borders. And then it was gone. A black-robed figure stood erect in the center of the room. An invisible arm pointed and an ancient doorknob hovered above the ground. He approached, and held. Then, turning it, he pulled it aside as if a door were attached to it. And Lo! Where a doorway would have been, if there was a door, there was an entrance — into golden light. Quite calmly, the sorcerer entered. The doorknob closed behind him. The vastness of infinity bowed before him in the form of the Criankoll Void. Projected by original thrust, the black cloak slipped through the beauteous zone. Yellow globes of warmth lighted indefinitely. Conies tripped by. Everything in this void was weighless, and had motion with direction. The magician pointed a lurid finger at a passing pyra- mid. An erupting flash emitted a half dozen lunes. Hurled in boomerang fashion, they slipped from sight. Very amused by this sport, the sorcerer boarded a passing flat ellipsoid. It shuttled under his weight and, after taking an appropriate new course, continued on. He splashed along, striking objects at all sides. A rare confortium soared by at a speed no less than 1600 m.p.h. An ap- proaching sphere was steered clear of a collision with a blast of mystic energy from the sorcerer ' s palm. The sphere bounded away with renewed force. A web of cosmic energy blocked the way. He hurled a glowing orange spear and sheared an opening in its sticky coils. The sorcerer cackled with horror as he whipp- ed through the opening. He sped under the culmination of a parabolic curve. Hollow triangles spun on a finite plane. 18 He snatched a passing cube. It was small and clear. It glowed with brilliance and defiance all its own. The mystic howled with laughter and hurled it into a hollow conic. As it disappeared into the opening, it shrank. In fact, the further it traveled, the smaller it grew, propor- tionally. It could fall forever. The sorcerer looked up in time to see a prickly star spinning directly at him. Another flash erased the pro- jectile from existence. Splattered Stardust dotted the black cloak. Then the ellipsoid slowed, and he knew the time had come. He sighed as the golden doorknob appeared in the distance. Seconds later, his hand was upon it, and he flung open a window of darkness. Weary bones clamber- ed in and the doorknob howled close. A tingle fled down the magician ' s back, and he shook like a dog out of water. He rested wearily on the couch. And closed his eyes. Open again. The old man stared at his black hat and sniffed his jagged nose. A yawn. Very slowly. He rose and smiled. Always did like those dreams. The hunched figure shuffled towards the kitchen, and lightly brushed a bit of Stardust ' from his shoulder.

Paul Bauman Walking through the mipper mist Drowsy, dreary day Then drop degrees and mist it freeze And snowflakes come to play. Wading through new white-washed wind In blinding blizzard storm, Stomping feet, to hope they keep Alive and (wiggly) warm. Quite quick, snows snatch themselves away Their playing time is done, The light it grows, and me, it shows A tingling treat for fun. Now up degrees, and waxing warm To winters white says nay, Now clouds they break, and sun it take Earth ' s crystal cloak away. Squashing through the mipper mud Drowsy, dreary day Shoes unglued, and socks look lewd And home ' s not far away. Jean Knight 19 Welcome to Luers: 1973-74!

Certainly one in which we, the students, take an active part in. The original purpose of the Student Congress was to promote greater student interest in the administrative policies. The planning of school dances, bus trips, and other school activities even- tually fell into their realm, along with any related problems. Fr. Vernon Stark served as a moderator for the first time this year. His sound advice was welcomed by all. We are a very idealistic people to think that we can establish a true Democracy. Reality renders this nearly impossible and so instead we seek out a few to represent the many. Members were elected in the spring by their fellow classmates. The three upper classes each chose eight repre- sentatives who they felt had the necessary quali- fications for leadership. Freshman representatives were chosen sometime during the first semester. The planning and preparation for this year ' s Homecoming activities, The Senior-Junior Prom, and Parent ' s Recognition Night were just a few of the many projects sponsored by the Student Congress. The outcome of all their undertakings prove that they had a very successful year. Junior members. E. Welling, G. Mauch, G. Baumgartner, A. Mattingly and N. Kress, give serious thought to the matter. Sophomore members cast their vote. Fr. Vernon, moderator, gives his approving look. 48 m Patty Grimmer, Ed Welling, and Greg Mauch count Freshman votes.

The services which kept the club busy included, running the concession stand for all C.Y.O. basketball games. Luers basketball games, bingo, and other events that the gym was used. The club also parked cars for all events held at Luers. Tables were taken down and put up when the cafeteria was needed. Tarps and chairs were put up and taken down when the gym was to be used for plays, concerts, banquets, assemblies, and dances. Rosters for the football games were made up by the Key Club. This included soliciting ads to pay for them and distributing them before the home games. As for the community they tutor the children at Johnny Appleseed. raked leaves at the crippled children ' s home, the club also hosted their second Bike-a-thon. All proceeds from the Bike- a-thon were given to the Cancer Society. This marked Father Vernon ' s seventh year of moderating the Key Club.

Patton, Fr. Carl. Camelot Club was designed to give the Luers boys a clear knowledge of vocations. Fr. Carl, the club ' s moderator, precided over the biweekly meetings. The meetings were started with a prayer service, the boys were then talked to by priests, who explained and talked of their ideas and professions. The meet- ings then concluded with refreshments. This past year the opportunity to visit Dun Scotus, a Francis- can Seminary, was given to the boys. They had the chance to observe, as well as, absorb the atmosphere. Fr. Carl served as this years moderator. D. Patton. G. Berghoff, N. Woehnker feel close like brothers.

KNIGHT LIGHTS write off another year Beginnings are usually hard, but this year was especially rough. Fr. Conan, the printer, Mr. Lanning, the advisor, Sr. Carol Ann, the typist and six Senior editors all left at the end of last year. But Brother Louie, Ms. Smurr, Ms. Powell and this years staff of editors tried to fill these positions. Besides successfully putting out a biweekly news- paper called Knight Lights, we grew closer in friendship. We learned how to get along through all crises, deadlines, paste-ups, but also through Pub parties, McDonald ' s, Match Game, and the Pub Olym- pics. We, the editors worked hard at putting out a paper that was informative, as well as, entertaining and we can only hope that you, the readers, enjoyed our paper because we enjoyed giving it to you. In all, IT WAS REAL! Cathy Husar gets ready for deadline. Editors, Virginia Lauer, Cathy Husar, Ed Welling.

There were over seventy musicians in the band this year which doesn ' t even include the auxiliary corps. Directed by Fr. Fred, they practiced relent- lessly during the summer, attended band camp for a week at Tri-State College, and every school day for at least an hour. Their hard work was certainly evident in all of their performances and there were quite a few of them! This year the band was invited to play at the State Fair, Zionsville. Huntington, Muncie, in the parades for the Three Rivers Festivals. Cantebury Greens and at Cedar Point. To say they ' ve had a busy year would be putting it mildly. Along with this, they also participated enthusiasti- cally in the Christmas, Spring and Catholic Education concerts. And we must not forget all of those spec- tacular football game half-times and assemblies. The band bought new uniforms this year, which required additional activities such as bake-sales and paper drives in order to pay for them. These uniforms consist of red and white tunics over body suits and tights. They do much to carry on the Knights theme. Directors and officers: Fr. Fred, Ed Slater, Sandy Gremaux.

The club started the year with a new moderator, Ms. Rody. Ms. Rody although new, was dedicated and gave much of her time. She attributed much to the success of G.A.A. The officers, that served under her, were also willing to give alot of their time. The club met every Wednesday in the gym. The girls participated in volleyball and bowling, in which tournaments were held. Due to lack of participants basketball was dropped. The girls were also given the chance to use the weight machine. Their annual banquet was held in May at which time they announced the new officers. Awards and ribbons were also given to the winning teams. Volleyball Team: Kneeling: Kim Ward, Mary DiGregory.

The first was in December to Swiss Valley. The bus usually left at about 6:00 returning at 7:00. The next trip took off to Irish Hills. Unfortunately this trip was rained out but most of the people skied despite the bad weather. Mr. Kapp and Mr. Converset headed the club as moderators. But the senior officers. Martha Powell. Mike Machlan, Karen Baker, were responsible for most of the work. They arranged the trips, advertised the trips, sold tickets. It was quite a responsible job. but by looking at the ski trips attendance it seems they did a good job. Officers: Karen Baker and Martha Powell. Missing. Mike Mach- lan. Chess Club has perfect season Bishop Dwenger Opponent Bishop Luers 5 7 This year ' s Chess Club went undefeated. They did only play one school, but they had challenged two other schools.

They received first place in three different divisions in the Nisbova competition. They won two firsts and one second place in State competition and a first in sight reading at Muncie. Along with their director Fr. Fred, they will go on Spring tour to Cincinnati.

Yes, there are lots of people who will do anything to get their picture taken. Not present for the taking of pictures was Mike Machlan. 199 First of all I ' d like to say, this book was produced exclusively for the students of Bishop Luers. Tech- nically it ' s not entirely correct, but we felt our accomplishments should be weighed more by our buyers — the students. With this in mind, we did not set out to drastically renovate or recreate something that was already there. We just captured the moments and events in what I hope appears a simple, adequate, and mostly, enjoyable display. For all their hard work in completing this task I ' d like to thank the 1974 Accolade staff, Mr. Cole, our faculty moderator, Mr. Arthur, our representa- tive from the American Yearbook Company, and especially the people who create the most im- portant aspect of our production, the photog- raphers. Mr. Bill Weber and Fr. Carl. I ' d also like to say thank you to the person who taught me all I know about yearbooks, last year ' s Editor, Ms. Marita Kelsey. For myself, I can say it ' s been an experience and I have certainly learned a num- ber of things. So with the hope of your approval of our production and a wish for luck to next year ' s staff, I hand the editorship over to Louise Still. May God have mercy on you Louise! Aloha, farewell, ' till we meet agair.
