AAIEGE PEP CLUB We Couldn't Be Prouder Of what? Why, the new Miege Pep Club, of course! A winning team should go hand in hand with a winning cheering section, and the Pep Club has al- ready shown that Miege has just that section. Striking and colorful are the new, attractive uni- forms—white sweaters trimmed in the school colors of scarlet and royal blue, white pleated skirts, and white blouses. With such an incentive, no wonder they “yell a little louder.” Much of the credit for this new look, spirit, sound, and real “pep” goes to the Pep Club officers: Mary Ann Thesing, president; Mary Beth Dowd, vice-pres- ident; Pat Venneman, secretary; and Sharon Gunigal, treasurer. On hand to help and advise the girls are the sponsors, Miss Murphy and Mrs. Garrison. The Pep Club, however, is not confined only to cheering the team from the stands. They also spon- sor dances such as the huge “kick-off” dance after the opening game. With such support as this the Stags can look for- ward to another successful football and basketball season. Keep up the good work. Carolyn Cody New Teachers Seen at Miege Miege students extend a hearty welcome to the new faculty members. In case some of you Stags don’t know them, they are: Father Finnerty, Father Forge, Father Vering, Sister Immaculata, Sister de Lourdes, Sister Marie Therese, Mrs. Garrison, Mr. Crowe, and Mr. Byard.

THE DECISION The moment of decision had come. It was time for me to make my choice. Had the defense been strong right or left? My mind was a blank. Every- thing depended on my next play. The opposing team had been tough the whole afternoon. Was there a weak spot in their line? Time was running out. It was now or never. It was with this in mind that I moved my knight three spaces forward. Dick Hennicr (Miege Quarterback) 12

The opening kickoff of the opening game with Olathe in the 1959 football season. Miege Debaters Launch New Season Debate Coach, Sister Stephen, has high hopes for the new sea- son when this term’s debaters will be challenged with the following proposition: Resolved: That the federal government should substan- tially increase its regulations of labor unions. This topic is cur- rently of nation-wide interest. Debaters returning from last year are Norman Chaffee, Mike Roach, Bill Clifford, Jack Barnard, Dixie Doll, Joe Flynn, Mary Kay Pyle, Jo Magerl, Regina Davis, and Nick Corrado. Novices who have joined the class are Dave For- tin, Jed Kee, Dennis Wills, Ronnie Taylor, and Bob Hansel. With the large number of returnees from last year to add valuable experience to the Stag’s ranks, the outlook for Miege debate teams is promising. On October 17, Norman Chaffee, Jack Barnard, Bill Clifford, and Dixie Doll attended the first de- bate of the season at Fredonia, Kansas. Joe Flynn, Ronnie Taylor, Mary Kay Pyle, and Jo Magerl at- tended the Derby, Kansas rounds on the same day. Many other tour- naments are on tap for the Stag orators. Dixie Doll Stags Open on Right Note The Miege gridders opened the '60 season by romping past the Olathe eleven by an impressive 31-7 margin. The game was quickly opened up by the impressive pass- ing of Dick Hcnnier and the con- tinuous ground gains by backs Jack Barnard and Bill Clifford. Our line, led by Mike Hope, Dixie Doll, and Ronnie Taylor quickly showed the Olathe squad who was boss. The Stags under their new coach, Mr. Byard, looked exceptionally sharp for an opening game. Coach Byard substituted freely with the starting squad seeing little action in the second half. Jack Barnard’s touchdown, com- ing on a 78-yard run from scrim- mage, was probably the highlight of the game. Other contributors to the list of TD’s were: Bill Clifford, Dick Hennier, Dick Barbour, and Mike Hope. Hennier converted for the only point after touchdown. Olathe’s only score against the stout Stag defense was tallied by Floyd Scott late in the game. Bob Ferkenhoff, Sports Editor BISHOP MIEGE FOOTBALL ROSTER 1959 Name, Year Pos. lit.

Hundreds of men in the history of our country have responded; in other words, they have become senators. They are men like Daniel Webster, who have followed the dictates of conscience and have received, as reward, the censure of the ungrateful people for whom they have sacrificed their all. Like John Quincy Adams, they have lost friends and apparently all political future—but have done so with courage. In all things they were loyal to the ideals they loved. Janice Wilbur (jun or) II
