Sullivan, principal of Bishop Miege High School. During the past year Father Sullivan has made many changes in our school, many decisions concerning the welfare of the faculty and the student body. He has shown that he is possessed of a heart, broad and sympathetic in its understanding of the problems of youth. He has been an inspiration to all the students who have had the good fortune to come under his training, and to all who have been associated with him at Miege. This tribute is written as an expression of the affection and esteem of the faculty, the student body, and especially the class of 1961. MIMUUk ‘•M) HOLIMsS Rni6� m� nnl«H«m l nn« M «apf STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS Good government is the foundation for all organizations. Here at Miege this is achieved by our Student Council under the able leadership of the officers: Pat Driscoll, secretary; Ron Taylor, president; Dave Fortin, vice-president; and John Nash, treasurer. 6 STUDENT COUNCIL MEMBERS Outer Circle: Kathy McCabe; Janet Langlois; Frances Wright; Mary Zillner; Kay Mork; Daniel Atencio; Virginia Kreisman; Mary Thies; Peggy Hove; Rosemary Cunigal; Mike Doyle; Dave Fortin, vice-president; Ron Taylor, president; Pat Driscoll, secretary; John Nash, treasurer; Bob Hansel, Patty Koos; Mary Jo Walsh; Judy Arnold; Bob Koetting; Mike Ewing; John P.

Richard Vering Religion III Religion The Rev. James Wright Religion III The Rev. Richard Engel Religion I The Rev. Robert Sullivan Religion I Only one has the answer? Marilyn Hess eagerly volunteers as Kay Hud- son, Deanna White, Carol Baldwin, and Peggy Frye ponder Monsignor Koch’s question. The study of the life of Christ in the Holy Land proves an enlightening course for the sophomore boys of Father Forge’s religion class. The Rev. Henry Forge Religion II Religion classes play a vital role in Miegian education for without the life giving source of a sound spiritual back- ground, all intellectual, social and physical pursuits become meaningless. To equip a student with the learning needed only for a temporal and material life does not fulfill the high purpose of man’s existence. The aid of true education must be the develop- ment of the whole man for both time and eternity. Father Aiduk instructs an attentive class of sophomore girls on the divine and human nature of Christ. The Rev. Robert Aiduk Religion II Business Sr. M. Dolores Bookkeeping, Typing I, Geometry Miss Dorothy Murphy Typing, Shorthand, Office Practice Barbara Downs, Linda Weber, and Linda Trabon busy themselves learning the essentials of office efficiency. Barbara Minnena, Diana Wes- selman, and Bob Meinert look almost too grim, as they pre- pare for the future in the busi- ness world. Can it be that bad? d 13 Clothing The use of line in dress is demonstrated to a group of Clothing I students by Mrs. Henrietta Houstan in a visit to Miege. hitting, pressing, and stitching all go together in making any garment correctly. Shown arc Mary Andrews, Clare Meier, Barbara Lyons, Barbara Ann Leins, and Elaine Farrow. 14 Coach Art Zimola Drafting, Woodwork Jack Rertels finds that the art of drawing a straight line with or without a ruler is important in drafting. Industrial Arts i ,-V Don’t be alarmed by that loud, fog-horn type of sound heard more than once a day. It’s probably just Lou Knoche, Tim Frcclakc, or Larry Green operating the power saw in the shop. Math Math students learn not only the subject matter, but develop the power to think clearly and to work in a systematic manner. Cheri Alticri, Sister Dolores, John Reidelbach, Rich Coan, and Pat McHenry examine the various shapes of geometric figures encountered in the study of geometry. Statistics in Sister Pauline’s class show that Tresa Bowers, Jim Humphrey, and Kenny Harris study Algebra I. Gayle Maloney and Joan Langan perform a delicate operation on a marinated crayfish in Coach Byard’s biology class. Sr. M. Gabriel Chemistry Physical Science f Sr. M. Martina Biology, Physics Under the watchful eye of Sister Gabriel, Dave Hann, Mike Garner, and Carol Lanter participate in a few of the interesting experiments performed by the students of the chemistry classes. Science Jim Riehle observes as Mary Ann Newman uneasily demonstrates the operation of a fire extinguisher in Mr. Hill’s general science class. Mr. Larry Grosdidier Social Studies World History Mr. Rocco De Mart American History Band Sr. M. Grace American History Religion I Patty Koos; Daniel Atcncio, ex- change student from Panama; Ed Doherty, and Carol Sue Hedstrom discuss the similarities and differences between the governments of the United States and Panama. World HLtory in pictures is pointed out to Ray Thebo and Nancy Curtis by Sister Grace. History Mr. Raymond Moritz American Problems Speech and Art Sister Stephen talks to Jay Walsh about putting the finishing touches on his pencil drawing, while Mary Scherman diligently tools her leather purse. Listening intently these students of Sister Stephen focus their attention on a recording of Jonathan Winters— or is it Shelley Berman? . . . in speech class? Heavens, no! It’s “John Brown’s Body!” Language ( Sr. M. Teresa Latin II, IB, IV Sr. Marie Therese French I and II Algebra I Nancy Richardson, Mary Sue Scardello and Carol O’Connell demonstrate their Latin talents in Sr. Teresa’s Latin II class. 20 Spanish Mrs. Rogers' Spanish I students work hard at increasing their vocabulary. The study of language has as its goal the development of the mind by logical thinking; easy, accurate self-expression through vocabulary growth; and better relations with our fellowman through an understanding of his way of life and what our culture has received from him. French Deanna White and Carol Lantcr decorate the bulletin hoard as part of their French II assignment. 21 Sr. M. Georgetta English I A Sr. M. Immaculata English II and IV Did you ever try to write directions for tying a shoe—or follow someone else s? Bill Lutz and Clare Meier find it takes clear, concise directions and careful listening to get the job done. Sister de Lourdes seems to be enjoying their attempt. Sr, M. Juliana English I Librarian English 22 Juniors in Sister Stephen's English class work diligently at their grammar. Miss Pat Hcllingcr English I and TI To improve their reading skills, Sr. Georgctta’s freshman English students take the SRA reading program. Miss Kathleen Laydcn English II and III A knowledge of the fundamentals of English grammar give students an assur- ance and confidence which they can exhibit daily m their speaking and writing. Literature makes its aesthetic contribution to the cultural development of the student. Sr. Juliana’s English I students gain information and learn the tech- niques of panel discussion. 23 The girls’ Phys.

Class of '61 'The time has come,” the Stag did say, “To talk of many things: Of lemon drops and failure slips. Of football games and queens. And why the Prom was such a hit, And all about our teams.” The time has come to talk of many things, to evaluate the past and to an- ticipate the future. We, the class of '61, take with us four years of memories of growth and changes in the school and in us as individuals and as a class. We were the last class of freshmen at the old St. Agnes High, and the last to adjust to the shock of the demerit system. Class was held in every conceiva- ble place—the old rectory, the bowling alley, the Church basement, and the little house down the way. As sophomores we invaded new Bishop Miege and exalted in the new- found room and space. Bishop Miege was a dream come true—light, space, and ultra-modern facilities. How well we remember the Dedication ceremonies, the state C.Y.O. convention held in Topeka that year, the soph-frosh picnic at Loose Park, and our class president’s presenting himself as “Sophomore of the Presi- dent class” at our TV debut. Then we were juniors—upperclassmen soaring to new heights. YVe’ll never forget preparing for the Junior-Senior Prom. Our Roman theme proved to be quite a job but resulted in a most wonderful Prom. And how we remember the wet homecoming dance held after an even wetter game. And the beatnik craze and our resulting parties. At last came the senior year. During our reign as upperclassmen many “firsts” were accomplished: Frosty’s Frolics, homeroom study halls, baccalaureate breakfast, formation of new clubs, and the creation of pep club and sports awards. As we leave Miege a few special remembrances are: the rise and fall of Sally and JoJo, the “whatchacallit,” the famous “do it process” and of course, “lemon drops.” But we recall other things, not tangible although more surely to be re- membered and cherished. The enthusiasm, sincere interest and excitement of Student Council elections, the pride we felt for our school at that rainy game when everyone stayed on to cheer the team, and the joy we shared with fellow students as’ they heaped honor after honor on the school by their debating skills, artistic talent and scientific knowledge. We leave, not empty-handed, but laden with treasures beyond measure- memories lived but once in a lifetime and friendships welded forever. To the future seniors of Miege we leave plans for a new wing on the school, a new track field, a changed uniform, and, we hope, only the best memories of our class— the Seniors of ’61. . . . hope it opens this time Freshmen Lynda Rhorer Dennis Aheel Mary Andrew Larry Allen Elizabeth Alexander Kathleen Adams Gary Aberer Kathy Apple Janice Armenta Pam Atchity Jane Harry Kathleen Hell Harbaru Borroycr Bill Beyer Paula Bibb Trcsa Bowers Jim Blaurock Nancy Blodgett Patricin Boyseri Don Brennan Richard Bock Sharon Borgmeyer Jim Bornheimer Maureen Boshier Francis Bower Bill Necs Nick Guillaume Denise Studwell 77 Mary Brenner («corne Brink Judy Brooks Judy Bryant Barbara Runyon David Burns Cathy Cad well Bill Calabrese Danny Carter Doug Couch David Chaffee Mike Clark Tony Clift Cathy Colleran Mary Kay Conry Tony Coon Kathy Corrigan Sandra DcCollcs Michael DeCoursey Sandra DeMaria David Depping Marsha Devine Phyllis DiMaio Bill Doercn Shirley Dreiling Dan Driscoll Tom Dwyer Richard Eisler John Engardio Kathleen Farrell Kilecn Farrow John Fleming Patricia Foley Virginia Foley Albert Freese Patricia Fuchs Stephen Fuhrmcn Barbara Fischer Margaret Fisher Laura Furst John Caines Patricia Gaughau Jim Garner Marie Garrison John Goldrick Michael Gay Tom Geraghty Dianne Gerling Dick Gorham 78 Torn Hammond Betty Henshaw Sylvia Hughes Mike Kempstcr Patricia Krcisman Barbara Leins Mary Kay Hall Robert Haling Margo Habiger Kathy Gunigal Carol Grauberger Jim Grabenhorst Barbara Gorman Janean Harnden Mary Hess Jim Humphrey Larry Kcnnalc Theresa LaGue Jerry Lcrmcr Mike Harrington Kenny Harris Frank Hartnett Katherine Henley Helen Hennicr Karen Henricks Joe Hickey Mike Hickey Mary Kay Hippman Patricia Hofman Mike Holland Kitty Hoy Michael Kierst Michael Kirby Karen Klieforth Sandra Knochc Marilyn Kostusik Joe Kraai Melinda Lohr Peggy Looker Margaret Ludwig Bill Lutz Gloria Lynch Barbara Lyons 79 Larry Maher Kathy Mahoney Jim Mall Tom Mall Dick Maloney Eileen Manner Mary Ann Manuel David Martin Leslie May Sharon Mayerle Mary Jo McAuiay Nancy McAroy Kathleen McCabe Patricia McCabe Sheryl McCarthy M.

Photos by Bill Humphrey Principal Stresses Moral And Intellectual Development “Your vocation at the present time is to study, that you may de- velop your personalities as fully as possible—spiritually as well as physically, morally as well as in- tellectually.” Father Robert Sullivan, Miege’s new principal, addressed freshmen and sophomores at two separate assemblies, and the juniors and seniors at a combined assembly at the opening of the respective school sessions, August 31 and Sep- tember 1 and 2. Father further stated that his aim is to “try to keep Miege progressing as rapidly as it has in the past.” He placed a great deal of stress on the importance of providing en- vironment for the student in an effort to help him utilize every opportunity for learning, besides helping to develop his own natural talents and abilities for the greater honor and glory of God. Previous to his address to the students, Father spoke to the par- ents in their own parishes and asked for their cooperation with the school for the betterment of the child. He expressed the idea that the school is built on a re- ligious foundation and so should greatly influence the life of the student. Student Council Sponsors Candy Sale Student Council officers have announced a sale of the World’s Finest Chocolate to begin October 5 and close October 17. Proceeds from the sale will be used to make the drama room acoustically suita- ble for use as an audio-visual cen- ter, to provide funds for the home- coming float, to purchase an addi- tional film projector, an encased bulletin board for the cafeteria foyer, and a 50-star flag. The goal has been set at $3600. Cash prizes will be given to top salesmen! There will be competition to see which class will first reach its quota. Student, Faculty Increase Numerically in the lead for the 1960-61 school year is the fresh- man class with a total of 262 stu- dents, while the sophomores claim second place with 192. The juniors swell the ranks with 154 and the class of ’61 totals 126 members. This year’s enrollment of 734 greatly surpasses last year’s ap- proximate total of 570. Miege’s faculty has also grown to cope with the influx of students. There are eight new names on the faculty roster: the Reverend James Wright, the Reverend Edward En- gel, Sister M. Juliana, Sister M. Pauline, Miss Patricia Hellinger, Miss Kathleen Layden, Mr. Law- rence Grosdidier, and Mr. John Schmiedeler. Father Wright who teaches Re- ligion III is assistant pastor of Queen of the Holy Rosary parish in Overland Park. Father states that he was impressed with the “cooperative student body.” Father Engel, assistant pastor of Holy Name parish, Rosedale, teaches Religion III. Sister Juliana, former member of the faculty at Ursuline Academy, Paola, Kansas, teaches a freshman English class and serves as the school librarian. Sister remarked, “I am happy to be a member of the staff at Miege and I hope to be able to supply all the students with their library needs. I plan to add many books to the library as the year progresses.” General Math and Algebra I are Sister Pauline’s forte. She comes to Miege from St. John’s School, Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Sister noted the “friendliness” of the students. Both Miss Hellinger and Miss Layden are capable newcomers to the English department. Miss Hel- linger was “very surprised at the maturity and well-behaved manner of the students.” 89 Daniel Atencio points out to Jack Hove the distance he has come from his home in Panama. Foreign Exchange Student at Miege Miege serves as host to Daniel Atencio, a native of Panama, who is a senior here this year. Daniel is being sponsored by the National Catholic Welfare Conference, which provides a scholarship pro- gram each year open to all Catho- lic high schools in Latin America. Its aim is to bring students from other countries to learn the cus- toms and life of the United States, in particular, the Catholic life. At Miege, Daniel is studying Religion, English, American Gov- ernment, American History, Trig- onometry, and Latin II, and is working in a grocery store after school in order to learn the dif- ferent aspects of the North Ameri- can way of life. In Panama, Daniel attended St. Anthony High School which is staffed by the Maryknoll Sisters and which has an enrollment of about 4(X) students. Latin Ameri- can schools have educational and athletic programs similar to ours. Students attend school 6 to 7 hours a day, five days a week. They study the basic subjects and par- ticipate in baseball, basketball, and volleyball. What is more important, as Daniel observed, “Both are founded for the purpose of helping the Catholic student appreciate the special favors he has received, the best base for a good education.” Joanne Holtzman Frosh Spend Summer in France For Mary Anne Newman and Lillian Pintar this summer will surely remain an unforgettable ex- perience in their lives. Lillian’s grandmother invited them to spend the summer with her at her home about thirty miles from Marseille. They not only toured France dur- ing their visit but had a chance to live with the French during their 3-month stay. Some of the highlights of their trip were tours they took to Ver- sailles and Fontainebleau, two pal- aces in the Paris suburbs. The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathe- dral, the Arch of Triumph, and Napoleon’s tomb were other sites of historic interest they saw in Paris. They visited Lourdes on the feast of the Assumption and saw the procession of the sick. Both of the girls enjoyed immensely a bullfight they attended in Arles which featured the famous mata- dor Dominguin. They call it an “exciting and thrilling experience.” The girls thought the Alps breath- takingly beautiful. A delightful experience for both of them was their visit to Monte Carlo. Here they saw the palace, museum, aquarium, and exotic gar- dens (which are made completely of cacti of all kinds) of Prince Rainier and Princess Grace. Perhaps their drive along the Riviera was the most enjoyable traveling they experienced. The coast is covered with palm trees and the sky and sea are always a deep blue along the Mediterranean. The time they spent at Lillian’s grandmother’s was highlighted each day by a few hours on the beach, about a half mile from home. The girls also grew quite fond of a pet donkey, Ministre, which belonged to a neighbor. They had planned to stay in France for their freshman year, but were not able to on account of transportation difficulties. Mary Lou Doll (sophomore) Old and New Clubs Open for Selection Through the past two years Miege has acquired a number of interesting and exciting organiza- tions, both scholastic and co-cur- ricular. The Math Club, the Sci- ence Club and the Future Teach- ers Club are some examples. Al- though in the last few years stu- dents could join any number of clubs they wished, because of the growing student body, this year there is a limit to one scholastic club plus any co-curricular club. In addition to the already estab- lished club groups of past years, others open for selection this year were the Home Economics Club, the Fine Arts Club, the Student Leaders Club, and the Photogra- phers Club. Stags Aid at Camp for Deaf Charity for all was recently prac- ticed by eight Miege Stags at Camp Ursuline in Paola. Under the di- rection of Father Finnerty, former faculty member at Miege, and four Ursuline Sisters, seniors Nick Cor- rado, Bob Hansel, Mike Bell, Judy Shine, Joanne Holtzman, Karen Smith, Pat Frantz, and Margaret Lane had the interesting experi- ence of being counselors for some twenty deaf children from the Olathe School for the Deaf. A daily schedule was followed starting with Mass and Commun- ion. Later the children went to Ursuline Academy where they were taught Religion and helped others master the deaf signs. The afternoons brought hours of fun and recreation in the swimming pool. During the evening, cards, bingo, checkers and other games added to the deaf children’s en- joyment. The camp lasted one week and tended to make all who helped the children more aware of and thankful for God’s blessings in their own personal lives. Margaret Lane (senior) 90 New faculty members. Coach John Schmiedclcr, Reverend James Wright, Rev- erend Edward Engle, Sister Juliana, Miss Patricia Hellinger, Miss Kathleen Layden and Sister Pauline show interest in Coach Lawrence Grosdidier’s first impressions of Micge. Elect Freshman Cheerleaders Kathy Redman and Martha Zie- glemeyer, freshmen, were chosen to complete the “B” team cheer- leading group at the tryouts, Sep- tember 6. Several changes have been made this year in the Pep Club. For the first time, the Varsity Pep Club will also include freshmen. As their initiation, all new members were required to wear signs read- ing “Stagland fawn” for a period of about two weeks. Besides having new cheers, the cheerleaders have changed their uniforms. The Varsity squad uni- form consists of red sweaters with white letters, red wool pleated cullots, and regulation saddle shoes. The “B” team will wear royal blue sweaters with white “M’s” and blue wool pleated culotts. Stags Rock In and Out at Mixer On Friday night, September 9, the recreation room of Miege echoed with the swinging sounds of rock ’n’ roll artists as the Stags enjoyed their annual Get Ac- quainted Mixer. The fun began at 7:30 when everyone from the lowly freshmen to the might)' sen- iors joined in the dancing. Fre- quently during the short intervals between records the various class yells could be heard above the chatter of new acquaintances. Class spirit ran high. The mixer was so well attended that finally the recreation room couldn’t hold an- other dancer. Consequently, the juniors and seniors moved out on the sidewalk leading up to the recreation room. Certainly this in no way hampered their fun. Sev- eral ladies’ choices and a snowball added to the fun of the enjoyable evening. Hardly anyone was able to resist the beat of the “Rock a Conga” as a seemingly endless line of dancers moved around the crowded room. Mary Koob (sophomore) Freshman Dilemma Problems? We’ve had ’em! Espe- cially on the first day of school. Speaking of my own troubles, it took me forty-five minutes to find out that my locker was in the 400’s instead of in the non-existing 800’s. Then it took the help of two upper- classmen to unlock it after I found it! One of my fellow freshmen needed Mike Clark for three days to open his locker for him. Carol Swift, another froshie, wryly remarked that she needed four seniors to find her history class for her. But at least she found it. One not so fortunate remarked in class, “I am in Latin, only we’re having algebra.” Most of us have had our prob- lems getting the ups and downs of the stairs straightened out. Doug Couch, when asked about his stair troubles answered, “I have but one life to give up on the down stairs.” An experienced sophomore sage- ly said of the whole situation: “This year’s crop of frosh seem to possess the same qualities they have always been known for. But besides being confused, disheartened and thor- oughly amazed, this year they arc also highly gullible. By this latter remark, I don’t wish to run down their great spirit and zeal with which they tackle even the hardest of problems, but merely to point out the great number of freshmen who tried to use the elevator!” Mike Holland (freshman) New Senior Appraises Miege Jack Schwab made a number of observations after enrolling as a senior at Miege in August. He states, “The close feeling of friend- ship among the students is very noticeable. Moreover, there is or- ganization and unity no matter where you chance to look, from the top of the administration down the line to the bottom of this su- perior ‘chain of command’ so to speak. I believe that the together- ness that one senses on becoming a part of the student body is a fascinating attribute to Bishop Miege High.” The Song of a River Through parched earth and salty basins, From wierd rock castles far below. From mineral springs and earth unshaken. To the chaste lands of pristine snow. I come these ways to sustain life, To cool the forest, to calm the strife. My waters quench the wheat fields. The rosebud and the thorn, I serve all God’s creation, I seek for nothing more. Mike Grady (sophomore) 91 by Lynda Ackman Putche’s—ah I mean the cafeteria has a much more cultural back- ground than the previous years. “I don’t care if you are Jean Chambers, get your crutches off my toe!” During registration week there seemed to be some confusion as to where the signs were pointing, wasn’t there, Ted Dickey and John McGill? Don’t worry, Stags—it isn’t an army invading the halls, only the cheerleaders in their new Spald- ings. If you look at your activity card picture, go home and rest for a few days, it might be contagious. Did anybody tell Rusty Kulp that our team won the Olathe game? He might not know be- cause he spent the last two quar- ters of the game looking for his two false teeth which had fallen out as a result of his vehement cheering. We’re glad he found them, even if he had to go back the next day and search. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are close runners-up to Dave Fortin and Jed Kee in the art of “trans- formation” into frightening charac- ters. Miss Laydcn knows!

Overheard in speech class, “My mind started working the minute I was born and didn’t stop till I got up to speak.” Obstacles to the Objectives of Congress by Dan Furst What has happened to the American Congress? We are inclined to look upon the Congress as the most efficient legislative body in the world, the group which shapes the destiny of our country. Despite this, news articles which exploit flaws in the workings of Congress often appear and cause one to look upon it in an unfavorable light. Several periodicals have published features regarding the Congressional expense account scandals, through which members of our country’s legislative branch use the taxpayers' money for diverse unauthorized purposes. There also exists in the Capitol an unofficial group called with some contempt the Tuesday-Thursday club. Those who subscribe to the prin- ciples of this illustrious group leave Washington after Thursday’s session and manage to return in time to begin work Tuesday. This situation often makes it impossible to accomplish anything on Mondays and Fridays. The apparent ineffectiveness may be due to the reconvening of Congress after the political conventions. This being an election year, there is bound to be some reason for the inactivity on Capitol Hill. Since both major nominees are in the Senate at the present time, neither party wants to let the other party’s candidate win any major political victories, and thus cast a shadow over their own nominee. To go further, the situation may be explained by the unbalanced relationship between the executive and legislative branches of the gov- ernment. That is, the president and vice-president are Republicans, whereas the Congress is predominantly Democratic. In a situation like this, a solid Democratic bloc may vote down any Republican bill, and the president can veto a bill pushed through by the Democrats. From this we can see that before the United States can heal its wounds in the field of world prestige, it must first convince the public that Congress is capable of undertaking the important decisions with which it is confronted. 1 WOULDN'T CARE BUT MY LUNCH IS IN THERE! by Jim Boydston 92 United Nations Is All Washed Up—UNLESS The United Nations is now in its 16th year, and we may well ask what its image is in the eyes of the ordinary man on the street. What does he think of its accomplishments? The startling answer is that the majority of those questioned in recent polls are still optimistic about the peace accomplishments of the organization, and believe it has done a great deal of good. Two-thirds of those questioned around the world gave answers to that effect. This answer is startling because the sad fact, indicated by common sense and the record, is that the U.N. is flapping about as helplessly as a hooked flounder in its assigned role of promoting peace, and that unless some way is found quickly of increasing its power, it is destined to fol- low the ill-fated League of Nations down the road to oblivion. As you know, the U.N. performs many functions, but I think we would all agree that the main one of these is promoting and maintaining international peace and security. It is in this main area that the weakness lies. The name of the villain responsible?—“Veto Power.” You see, the U.N. has in it a body called the Security Council, and on this Council are five main member nations called “permanent mem- bers.” If just one of these permanent members says “No” to any pro- posal unanimously approved even by all the other members (there are almost 100) the proposal cannot be passed. In other words, the U. S., England, France, Russia, and Nationalist China each has the power to block by itself the wishes of all the other members. Now this structural weakness in the U.N. Charter (its constitution) would be all right if all the members lived up to the organization’s ideal of complete and smooth-working cooperation. Such is not the case. Russia, for one, has consistently shown her determination to violate this principle of cooperation on which the U.N. was founded. Within six months from the signing of the U.N. Charter, and the formal beginning of the organization, Iran complained to the Security Council that Russian troops were still occupying parts of its territory. The proposal that Russia be asked to remove the troops was vetoed by Russia. Thereafter came the Berlin Blockade, the Korean War, the war in Indo-China, the bloody suppression of the Hungarian revolution. While they sat as members of the U.N., ostensibly subscribing to its principles, the Communists relentlessly carried on the cold war, using methods as old as war itself. Largely as a result, there were many other complaints by nations to the Security Council. The Russians countered by casting 89 vetoes—80 more than all other nations combined. Is it hard to see how the possession of such power by any nation could cripple, indeed is crippling the effectiveness of the U.N.? No organization which costs so much, and which holds the hopes of so many can justify itself if it is not doing its job. The United Nations is not doing its job. Unless the Charter can be torn up by the roots, and the veto power eliminated, we can surely look forward to making a children’s playground or parking lot out of a certain plot of ground in New York City where a multi-million-dollar building now stands.

This is the question I asked Jean Chambers, the crutch- wielder here in Stagland whose bright, cheerful face goes bobbing down our halls followed by several big-hearted letter- men who act as book-toters and general assistants. Jean’s stay in the hospital was quite an interesting event. The day of her operation—the removal of a tumor on the knee cartilage (seventeen stitch incision)—she was given sodium penathal, more commonly known as “truth serum.” Some of the Stags who visited Jean can attest to the fact that she told the whole truth—in fact she repeated it several times. Must have been a good story! Comments from this cheerful senior are: “It’s nice hav- ing your books carried, but I hate the crutches. I’ll l e glad when I can bend my knee and cheer again. It's awful trying to learn new cheers without being able to practice, but I ought to be able to cheer by October first.” Carol Robinson (senior) IT'S A DATE . . . by Patty Koos Kansas City s theater, music, and entertainment season promises an outstanding array of events this year.

Olathe was beat before they started as this cheerleading “team” gave Stags a look into the future in a skit which they presented at the pep assembly Friday after- noon, September 16. Representing the teams are Mary Fuchs, Nancy Newbanks, Janet Thesing Martha Zieglemeyer, Lynda Ackman; bottom row: Pat Ackman, Leslie Spuick, Kathy Redman and Carolyn Cody. 94 Stags come out on top in the first game of the season at Olathe. Miege Defeats Olathe, 12-7 A spirited Miege eleven came from behind to defeat Olathe 12-7 on the Olathe home field, in a squeaker that provided many thrills for both sides. Miege drew first blood by scoring on a 5-yard plunge by senior Dick Barbour in the first quarter. Senior Ronnie Taylor’s extra-point attempt was blocked and the score at the end of the first half stood 6-0 Miege. Olathe came back bard after the half to score after marching 80 yards up the field, and controlling the ball for nearly ten straight min- utes of the third quarter. They ran for the extra point and made it, to go ahead 7-6. But things began to look up as Miege took the kickoff and began a drive which, with only 3 minutes left in the game, climaxed in the winning counter for Miege. Sopho- more Mike Murray took the ball from center and skirted around right end for the tally. Dave Lcrner, sophomore, ran for the ex- tra point but was stopped short. The never-say-die Eagles were on the Miege 11-yard line when the final gun was sounded and Miege supporters poured happily onto the field. Although no single player can be credited with winning the game, certainly a few stars stood out from the pack: senior Mike Ewing, whose alert defensive play set up the first Miege touchdown; senior Dick Barbour, whose ex- plosive running showed flashes of Jack Barnard’s greatness; senior John Nash, whose burning desire brought the team through to vic- tory; senior Ronnie Taylor, junior Phil Meitner, and sophomore Tom Keehn, who led the team defensive; and sophomores Mike Murray and Dave Lcrner, who came through in their first varsity game very well. All in all the game was fine team effort and showed promise of a very successful season. John Wheeler (junior) Hope you like “The Miegian. The yearbook will have a yearbook format with sections on activities, sports, classes, etc., and the news- papers will be bound in the back section. The Miegian staff will be listed next issue. Tom Walsh (Editor) Team Presents Pigskin Preview Miege football fans received a preview of the coming season when the Stags held their inter-squad game, Saturday, September 10, on the St. Agnes field. Prior to the game, the parents were assembled in the St. Agnes gym, where Coach Byard, head football coach, introduced his as- sistants, Coach Grosdidier and Coach Hill, and the members of the squad. To play the game, the boys di- vided into three squads. The first team was clad in gold jerseys, the second team wore blue jerseys, and the third wore red. Each quarter matched a different set of units. Ralph Parra, Dick Barbour, and Phil Meitner, all scored touch- downs for the gold squad, and Ron- nie Taylor kicked two extra points. The blue squad’s only touchdown was scored by Dave Lerner, while the red unit was held scoreless. This game proved interesting to all who attended as it was the only op- portunity to see the squad perforin under game conditions, before the opening game at Olathe. Bill Agnew (sophomore) 95 Jeff's Jargon by Jeff Bremser Let us lift our hearts a moment and ponder. The great “blonde bombshell” is no longer with us. This column was once written by that peerless wit Jackson Barnard. He has advanced to the laurels of higher education. He is now an alumus of our great school but for the past two years he has been a humorist of great popularity and scope, a brief note of levity in the overtures of seriousness, a refresh- ing oasis in the vastness of our in- stitution of learning. Anyway, I have taken his place. Wading through this initial in- troduction, wc come to the heart of this first and inexperienced col- umn. And first on the bulging agenda (also last) is the hardy group of athletes known as the Miege football team—an uninspiring but descriptive name. I wil give a pre- season glance at some of the Stag superstars who will be seen in ac- tion this year. Johnny Long — senior Quarter- back may have trouble disengaging helmet from head due to prolonged shunning of barbershop. Dick Barbour—handsome, drawl- ing senior Halfback will undoubt- edly have a good year after spend- ing the entire summer getting in shape. Ralph Parra—junior Fullback has finally recovered from mysterious 96 back injuries incurred during let- terman’s initiation. Paul Pagacz—senior Center will try his new finger snap-back en- couraged by his typing teacher. Mike Doyle — senior Guard is again favored to win best-dressed honors. Johnny Nash—senior Guard and co-captain shows great initiative in showing squad members how not to do things. Ron Taylor—pudgy senior Tackle and co-captain has not lost excess baggage taken on during highly unprofitable golf season. Tom Keehn — sophomore Tackle has relatively minor problem of dis- tinguishing right foot from left. Mike Ewing — senior End and darling of squad has large feet which will perhaps encumber his knock-kneed style. John McGill—senior End is still fighting tendency to catch up on sleep at halftime. John “Harlan” Wheeler — junior End and specialist, is outstanding prospect to go second straight sea- son without catching a pass. Ricky “Gill” — junior Halfback and Quarterback has developed into undeniably the finest practice dummy holder in the game. Rich also holds the record for the most cubic inches of ice consumed dur- ing one practice. I feel I must also mention Jack- son Bertels, junior Tackle, as being the only player capable of playing without a helmet. We have as new additions on the student manager roster, icemen, Louie Raab and Bill Numerich. Louie quickly caught the team’s eye as being an excellent furniture mover and was set to work by mastermind, Johnny Long, moving a large fan which was cluttering the dressing room. Hats off to Lou also for his quick learning of the difficult art of bandaging blisters, bunions, and “what have you.” Bill also has done a wonderful job of distributing the team refreshments during practice sessions where he is as cold-hearted as the ice when asked for seconds. Ward Halts Freshman Team Miege’s freshman football team opened its season by dropping a hard-fought game to Ward, 6-0, on the St. Agnes field. The teams were evenly matched in size and the game developed into a defensive struggle in the second half. Ward scored the only touchdown of the game in the second quarter on a 15-yard run off tackle. A first quar- ter Miege touchdown was nullified by a penalty. Coach Schmiedeler singled out Tom Dwyer, Tom Gcraghty, and Dave Martin for their defensive work while Joe Kraai, Mike Hickey, and Dwyer and Geraghty also looked good on offense. This year’s team has good size which should be a valuable asset as they become more experienced. Larry Rouse Coach Byard expressed his pride in the team after their terrific drive and hustle at the Olathe game. He felt the squad was fortunate to win this opening game after a first half of penalties. Gang tackling was one of the areas that the Coach was especially pleased with. “We have a lot of improving to do and we will improve because of the evident team spirit,” he stated. 5J sa •r,: As the powerful Miege eleven moved into action against the Olathe Eagles on Friday, Septem- ber 16, a question that had been in the minds of a great many peo- ple was answered. This question was that of defense. The experts seemed to feel that the Stags’ de- fense would be much weaker than that of last year. This prediction stemmed from the fact that our world-famous Chinese Bandits of last year have been disbanded. If you will remember correctly, this was the squad that was scored upon only ONCE, in the whole year. (The fact that they played only sixteen seconds in a game is, of course, completely irrelevant.) Ted Dickey THemieGiRn No. 2 Bishop Miege High October, 1960 Koetting Named NMSQT Semifinalist SC Presents Awards As Candy Sale Ends “Stags did it again,” as the World’s Finest Chococate sale came to a successful close Oc- tober 17th with the Student Coun- cil netting about $2,000 to be used for school improvements. Highest award of $25.00 for sell- ing the greatest number of bars went to Mary Jo Keith, freshman, who sold 288 bars. Carol Brande- meyer, junior, placed second and received $12.50 as well as $2.50 for second place in the high sales- man of the day competition. Students who received $5.00 for first place in the daily contest are: Cathy Colleran, Jim Lisson, Dean- na Osiier and Sharon Borgemeyer Linda Barlow, Margaret Mary Lavery, Bill Calabrese, and Stewart Tice were given $2.50 for second places. Lucky winner of the transis- tor radio was Tom Horan, sopho- more. The freshman class will have its name inscribed on a plaque for having brought in the most money and consequently for having given the new 50-star flag to the school. Triumphant aftermaths of the burning of midnight oil for his past years of study have been dem- onstrated through the National Merit Examination by senior Bob Koetting. Bob was selected as a semifinalist in the Merit Scholar- ship Program, which is sponsored by more than one hundred business organizations on a large scale op- eration, contributing at least $1 million annually. In the spring of 1960, juniors throughout the United States took the test, and at this point, the situ- ation was narrowed down to a group of semifinalists to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Examination Board no lat- er than December, 1960.

Bob, who plans on pursuing the career of engineering in either the electrical or aeronautical fields, states, “I am very honored to re- ceive this award, and I will do my best to carry on the tradition of Miege.” Five other seniors, honored for outstanding performance were: Jeff Bremser, Joanne Holt .man, Martha Ludwig, Mary Kay Pyle, and John Raydo. Finalists Selected Homecoming Queen finalists, an- nounced at the mixer after the St. Joseph game are: Lynda Ackman, Judy Arnold, Connie Bock, Kathy Drozda, and Peggy Ilove. Other nominees, chosen by a vote of the junior and senior classes October 18, were: Jean Chambers, Caro- lyn Cody, Carol Hedstrom, Toby Hein- inger, Marilyn Hess, Nancy Newbanks, and Judy Yancey. 97 “This was worth waiting for!” agree seniors Joe Reihle, Bob Metzger, Madeline Stewart, and Janet Leins as they examine their class rings. Rings Symbolize Spiritual, Athletic Life Junior Achievement Enrollment Ascends This year 79 Miegians have signed up for Junior Achievement, a larger number than ever before. Mr. Mike Wilson, director of JA in Kansas City, visited Miege on Monday, October 3 and at an as- sembly, outlined the JA, an or- ganization aimed at boys and girls between the ages of fifteen and twenty-one. These young people form corporations and operate them just like a regular business. Kansas City is one of 300 cities in the U. S. and Canada participat- ing in JA. The local president is Mr. A. C. Swanson, also president of Western Auto Supply Company. So far this year there have been 3,500 applicants. Of these, only half will be selected to participate because of limited space available. The program started October 11 for the banking and auditing com- panies and during the week of October 15 for the 58 manufactur- ing companies. Student's View Brings A “Student’s View” of the re- ligious issue confronting the presi- dential campaign was given by Rusty Scholtes, a sophomore at Miege, in a letter he wrote to the K. C. Star. Rusty’s letter was pub- lished in “Speaking the Public Mind.” “How can a minister preach the word of God every Sunday, tell his congregation all men are cre- ated equal and then say not to vote for a presidential candidate be- cause he is a Catholic? I have studied for nine years that because America is what it is, a man can become anything he wants no matter what race or religion he is. I am only 15 years old, but to me any man who calls himself a disciple of Jesus Christ and then condemns a man because of his religion, is a hypocrite and God looks upon him with eyes of anger.” Because Rusty wrote this letter, and in a sense defended Senator Kennedy, the Democratic presiden- “Baubles, bangles and—Rings!” At last, the seniors have their class rings! During the activity period on Wednesday, October 12, Mr. James Cunningham, a representa- tive of Green’s Jewelers, sat in the Kennedy's Thanks tial candidate in turn wrote Rusty a letter thanking him for his sup- port: September 8, 1960 Dear Rusty: I have just learned of the letter you wrote on my behalf, to the Kansas City Star. I deeply appreciate your sup- port. It is indeed good to know, Rusty, of the interest the younger gen- eration has in government and poli- tics, for it will be up to you, when you are older, to govern a better World of Tomorrow. With every good wish, I am, Sincerely, JFK-hh John F.

May they rest in peace! midst of the excited class of ’61 and distributed the long-awaited blue and gold proof of “superi- ority.” Set with a spinel, a syn- thetic gem stone, in 10 k. gold, the rings, designed by the class of ’60, have a two-fold meaning. A staghead, signifying school sports is on one side of the stone, while on the other side is an engraved shield, part of Bishop John Baptist Miege’s coat-of-arms. The crescent and wreath pictured on the shield are symbolic of the Immaculate Conception. The inscription “Nova et Vetera” (the new and the old) implies that God is Beauty “ever ancient and ever new.” This is the interpretation given to the words of the Bishop’s coat-of-arms, but many students have wondered if the inscription might not refer to “the old St. Agnes High School and the new Bishop Miege.” This is a very logical assumption, for the many symbols crowded into the rings are indeed something to treasure for many years. Father Sullivan blessed the rings in the school chapel on Thursday, October 20, during the activity period. Latin Sayings ... Quidam Philosophus dixit: “Habe- mus duas aures sed unum os, ut plura audiamus quam loquamur.” 98 ito rial A November 8 Countdown In this crucial election year of I960, the religious issue has once more nosed its way into the foreground of American politics. The United States, for all in- tents and purposes, stands on trial before the world. The case against us is a strong one, for history has proved that, despite the fact that our constitution guarantees that, “. . . no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office of public trust under the United States,” the people of the United States, who devised and defended this con- stitution, have refused to extend this right to Catholics running for the presidency. In making his bid for the presidency, Senator John F. Kennedy is putting the constitution to the test for the second time in history. It is questionable to this day whether the religious issue was the de- ciding factor in the case of New York Governor, Al- fred E. Smith, who ran on the Democrat ticket in 1928. There were other issues to be considered to be sure, but whether the public mind considered these issues from a completely unbiased viewpoint or, whether having been exposed to a barrage of anti- Catholic propaganda, they looked at his religion and decided that he could not be loyal to Rome and the United States both is in question. Better to be safe than sorry. After all, these Catholics are a strange lot with their popery. Who knows but what the Vatican may be getting ready to move in right now! Unfortunately, such a campaign, however unfounded and absurd their claims against the Church may have been, when directed with such force at the uninformed, superstitious masses, ob- viously achieves its intended result to some extent. The question which arises now is, will history repeat itself, and if so, how great an influence will the religious issue be in determining the outcome of the election this time. But times have changed since then. The ranks of the uninformed are gradu- ally being diminished. Prejudice is an ugly word and most people would like to consider themselves too broad-minded to let such a thing influence their vote. The religious issue is no longer avoided as if it did not exist. It has been brought out in the open and presented in the light of facts, not superstition. When the nation goes to the polls this November a decision of conscience faces them. In these perilous times our country’s need is great, perhaps greater than it has ever been before in history. Our future existence may depend on the next president of the United States. In the face of so jarring a fact, the American people, their judgment unclouded by prejudice and bigotry, must not fail to see the candidates clearly and base their decision only on either man’s ability to serve. Carolyn Cody (senior). Ten Reasons Why I Cheat What others originate, I duplicate: Why? 1. God wants me to. 2. It’s an act of kindness toward my teacher: it’s easier for her to check papers that are all alike. 3. Other students admire me for it. 4. It reaps rewards by setting such a good ex- ample. 5. Isn’t it a good feeling to be able to be looked up to? 6. My classmates feel honored when I come to them for help. 7. By not studying, I have extra time to watch HUCKLEBERRY HOUND. 8. When I do remember the answers, it is only fair to help my needy friends. 9. If I study, my parents will beat me. 10. It improves my ability to read small print.

Tom Seiben’s car is enough to keep peo- ple guessing. He has put much time and effort into both the in- terior and exterior of his ’56 Ford. Tom installed a ’58 Cadillac en- gine with six Stromberg “97” car- buretors topped with six chrome air filters. All was well until he found that he couldn’t close the hood because of the protrusion of the air filters. So there was noth- ing to do but to remove the hood, which Tom found disheartening because it contained 132 louvers or openings characteristic of air vents. The oversized valves are actu- ated by an Isky cam and solid valve lifters. Next, aluminum pis- tons were installed and the cylin- der heads polished, ported, and milled .125 inches to increase com- pression. A Mallory dual point, dual coil, ignition assembly was inserted to give all electrical com- ponents more efficiency. Power is transmitted by way of an aluminum fly wheel and clutch assembly and a Packard floor shift transmission. New Members to SC Student Council membership swelled to 39 when the homeroom representatives were elected Sep- tember 22. They were selected on a popular-vote basis, with three students being nominated in each homeroom, and the final candidate being chosen from these three. The new representatives, by classes are: Freshmen: Bill Beyer, John Fleming, Janet Langlois, Kathy McCabe, Patrick Normile, Frances Wright, Mary Zillner. Sophomores: Carol McAvoy, Kay Mork, Mary Sue Scardello, Gary Scholtes. Juniors: Virginia Kreisman, Rich McGill, Paula Heilman, Rodney Vickery. Seniors: Judy Arnold, Mary Jo Walsh, Jo Magerl, Nick Corrado, Mike Ewing, Bob Hansel, Mary Theis. Tom attained a radical rake by lowering the front of the car 6 inches. Then he removed the standard ornaments such as front hood ornament and insignia on trunk and door handles and leaded holes in flush so that the car car- ried a smooth unflawed appear- ance. The tail lights were tunneled three inches, that is, the rear fin above the tail light was extended three inches to give a sleek look. To the finished body ten coats of white lacquer paint were added to give a deep glossy shine. Accessories include Plymouth chrome wheel discs, side mount spot lights in a teardrop shape, and full length lakes which are chrome plated side exhaust pipes. The interior ensemble includes rolled and pleated dash and back shelf and an upholstered trunk. Future plans include G.M.C. 670 blower to be placed below car- buretors to blow gas into carbu- retors, a roller tappet cam, a 4.11 rear end, and rolled and pleated seats and floor boards. Mike Ewing Coach Clarifies Clues to Pep Club Catches Curious Captains “This is a football.” These words caught my ear as I was wandering past the cafeteria one afternoon last week. My curiosity aroused, I opened the door a crack and peeked in. There, to my amaze- ment, stood Coach Byard in the midst of some 400 varsity pep club members, football in hand, pacing the floor. “Now, wait a minute,” 1 thought. “I know Mr. Byard coaches the football team, but when did he start coaching the pep club?” Suspecting some secret scheme or plot, I maintained my post while the coach continued. “There are eleven members on each team. . . . The team that has the ball is called the Offense, the opposing team is the Defense. . . . No, they don’t tell jokes when they’re in a hud- dle!” At such essentials, the upper- classmen sat back and smiled com- placently while the younger mem- bers leaned forward, absorbed. The coach went on to divulge other secrets of the game. “Team- work is the essential factor,” he said. “The team must act as a unit. Each player must know ex- actly what to do at every moment.” Just then he was interrupted by Ronnie Taylor and John Nash, cap- tains of the varsity. “You’re sup- posed to be at practice,” he glared. “But, coach,” they answered, “what are we supposed to wear?” The hour passed quickly and soon I continued on my way. “It’s no wonder Coach Byard was chos- en coach of the week,” I mused. Joanne Holtzman 100 by Lynda Ackman NO, GIRLS, not 15 inches long —15 inches from the floor. Our big, husky football players seemed to have had a little trouble running through the hoop at the De La Salle game—RIGHT, FELLAS??? None other than Nancy New- banks has given Daniel Atencio, our exchange student, his first im- pression of a “square,” a new word in his English vocabulary. After the two co-captains inter- rupted Coach Byard’s first lesson in football to the Pep Club, the girls were wondering if John Nash and Ronnie Taylor ever found any- thing to wear for practice. Sorry, girls, Coach Grosdidier is taken! Has anyone noticed lately that the Miege seniors can be found at the library on weekends getting sociology books? There has been a drastic change in the Homecoming dance this year; the hoys have decided to get dates. “Happy Shades of Blue” are here at last—Right, seniors? Did anyone catch a glimpse of the wild animal running loose at the Maur Hill game? This vicious beast was reportedly seen in the vicinity of Atchison, Kansas, be- tween the hours of 2:00 and 4:30 p.m. on October 9. This culprit had a strange peculiarity of talking through its nose and it may be recognized by its white fuzzy tail and brown furry body. Anyone knowing the where- abouts of this intruder, please con- tact Lynda Trabon because she misses it deerly! Talented Senior May Meet Famous Artists Talent plus, exhibited by Steve Dragert, led Sister Mary Stephen to recommend the Miege senior to the Famous Artists College of Westport, Connecticut. As a result, Steve has now enrolled in a three- year correspondence course, in which he will receive help from various well-known artists in de- veloping and perfecting his talent. Among his “teachers” will be: Albert Dome, Fred Ludekins, Nor- man Rockwell, A1 Parker, and Har- old von Schmidt. Steve will re- ceive assignments by mail to be completed in three weeks. He has also been supplied with textbooks which he is to follow while doing these assignments. The finished drawings will then be sent to the college for criticism and correc- tions. During this time, Steve will be able to correspond with these noted artists, asking their advice when and where necessary. Close personal association with the teach- er is stressed, and if possible, he will have the opportunity to meet these men personally. This is undoubtedly an excellent chance for Steve who hopes some- day to be a commercial artist. The diploma he will receive upon com- pletion of this course will aid him in attaining his goal. Itinerent Po Vo's Visit Paola Ursuline Convent was the host of 60 Miege Po Vo’s the weekend of October 15 and 16. One of the highlights of the day was the explanation of the Coun- sels of Saint Angela by the nine postulants of which Pat Venneman ’60 is a member. The Po Vo’s then were permitted to spend the rest of the afternoon visiting the postu- lants. Other speakers for the occasion were Sister Stephen who informed the girls of the extensive use of talents in the convent, and Sister Roberta who spoke of the need of teachers. by Elaine Hunter This year’s Science Department has extended in the field of physics through a subscription to ten movies concerned with the latest developments in this subject.

Six Stags—Bob Hansel, Joanne Holtzman, Carolyn Cody, Patty Koos, Kathy Holland, and Kay Hudson—participated in the Publi- cations Journalism Workshop at the University of Kansas City on Saturday, September 24. They at- tended various newspaper and yearbook programs and received many ideas and criticisms concern- ing school publications. On Wednesday, September 28, Sister Juliana and eleven members of the Photographer’s Club attend- ed an exhibit at the Nelson Art Gallery of prize-winning pictures taken by press photographers. The annual Kick-Off dance, sponsored by the Pep Club was held in the recreation room on Fri- day night, September 23. The dance was a tremendous success owing to the fact that the football team had trounced De La Salle 25-6. Harriet Huston, associate home economist for McCall’s Pattern Company, gave a demonstration on the correct use of line in dress, to Sister Marianne’s clothing classes, on October 5. 101 “Hey fellows—arc you really supposed to hold ’em UP?” Actually, Dave Lerner and Phil Meitner are bringing down an opponent during the Pern-Day game. Stags Swamp Maur Hill 27 to 0 Playing before the Maur Hill homecoming crowd at Amelia Ear- hart Field, the Stags crushed the Jr. Ravens 27-0. On offense as well as defense the Stags outfought the opposing team. Maur Hill’s only threat came early in the first quarter and ended on the Miege 10. Here Maur Hill fumbled while trying to pass, and Ron Taylor, senior tackle who has shown great skill both on defense and offense this year, grabbed the ball and scampered 79 yards for the Stags’ first score. John Long, quarterback, raced 42 yards for a second quarter score. Dick Bar- bour added both extra points, and the Stags led at the half 14-0. In the early minutes of the fourth quarter Gary Rollheiser, junior half, again showed his speed and elu- siveness as he rambled 50 yards around end for a T.D. Barbour again added the point. With sec- onds remaining, Tom O’Connell 102 shot a 15-yard pass to halfback Rich McGill to score the Stags’ final tally. Miege outrushed Maur Hill 266 yards to 104 yards and posted its fourth win with no losses. Jack Bertels, Ron Taylor, Theodore Dickey, John Nash, J. P. McGill, Mike Ewing, Tom Keehn, and Cliff Seitter all played outstand- ingly to keep the Stags’ record in- tact. Stags Trounce Cadets Sparked by fine running and blocking, the Miege Stags rah over the De La Salle Cadets to win their- second game. On the opening kickoff, Gary Rollheiser, junior halfback and transfer from Tennessee, took the ball on the Miege 25 and ran across the midstripe to the Cadet 39. On the first play from scrim- mage John Long threw a 30-yard pass to John Pat McGill, who ran untouched into the end zone. After taking a Cadet punt, Rollheiser Miege Defense Highlights Crushing Defeat of Pern-Day The Miege gridders claimed their third victory of the young season with a 30-6 crushing of Pern-Day. The Red Raiders were no match for the powerful Stag line. Led by Ronnie Taylor, Phil Meitner, Paul Pagacz, and John McGill, Miege held the Raiders to 12 yards rushing and 25 yards passing. This established a school record. Dick Barbour led the attack by racking up 111 yards in 10 car- ries. The scoring was evenly di- vided between Mike Murray, Gary Rollheiser, Dave Lerner, Ralph Parra, and Barbour, who each tal- lied once. The touchdown by Murray vault- ed him into a tie for fourth place among city scorers. NOTES: The Stags have made only one extra point this year for their eleven touchdowns, and as of this game have not kicked any. Regrets to Phil Meitner who suf- fered a dislocated shoulder at prac- tice October 5. Phil was out 10 days. Paul J. Gcrling proceeded to run 65 yards for the Stags’ second score in less than two minutes. With time running out in the first half. Long hit Mike Murray with an 8-yard pass and a tally. Defense was the big factor throughout the game and especially during the second half. The Cadets scored in the third quarter on a pass play. The final Stag score came when Mike Doyle intercepted a Cadet pass and ran 30 yards un- touched for the score. Barbour added the point for a 25-6 win. Phil Meitner, Mike Doyle, Tom Keehn, and Ron Taylor all sparkled on defense. Jed Kce. Theodore's Theories In these last two weeks, disaster upon disaster has been piled upon the shoulders of some of our most formidable Stags. Yet, because of the stamina of these Stags, life at Miege has gone on as-per- usual. Allow me to relate some of these tragedies. Tragedy number one struck in the waning moments prior to our opening football game with Olathe. The unsung hero of the team, whose name I shall not mention because if mentioned, pandemonium would be sure to break out, was slated to start the game by being on the opening kickoff team. This young lad took this important responsibility right in stride, in a matter-of-fact way and only his great as- set of humility kept him from even suggesting pride. Yet, by some queer turn of fate, our hero was not allowed to take part in the opening kickoff. Tragedy number two struck just as quickly and quietly. During a victory celebration in the locker room, the absence of jovial Jack Bertels was realized. When Jack was located, he was sitting in the far corner of the locker room with big tears rolling down his cheeks. With a little prodding, Jack related to us the terrible narrative of how his world-famous mouth-piece was jolted out of his mouth on a crucial play in the game, and when the dust cleared the little, white, smiling, tooth-marked piece of rubber, which had been with him through thick and thin, had vanished forever. “Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining brightly, the band is playing, and hearts are light. And somewhere men are laugh- ing, and somewhere hats are tossed. But there’s no joy in Bertel’s heart—his mouth-piece has been lost.” The third and final disaster happened as an aftermath of a surprise birthday party for “Toby Gillis.” You remember ole Toby—the girl that had that lovely suntan last winter; a beautiful shade of bright orange. Toby’s party was a real “mover.” She received “all kinds” of presents, but no one gave poor Lynda Ackerman anything. This infuriated “Little Lynda.” She kept her temper pent up inside of her until the next day. That Sunday afternoon, while she and Toby were out riding, Lynda grabbed Toby’s present and flung it out the window. Next time you seniors are passing out presents, be sure and give poor “Little Lynda” one. OPPOR-TUNES TaTa .....................Identical homework!!

Alumni News Mark my words in a couple of years we’ll be bearing big and wonderful things about the Miege class of 1960. Jeanne Beyer, a girl known to almost everyone in the school last year, took her personality and I. Q. to the Mount on a scholarship while Janet Schmitz hooked a four-year scholarship to St. Teresa's. Norman Chaffee and Mike Roach, the brother team, snagged two scholarships from Rockhurst. Others attending Rockhurst are Jim North, last year's Bob Cummings; and Tony Proffitt, the winner of “man most likely . . .” Gigi Heilman and Rachael Gutierrez decided to crash the business world and succeeded in securing jobs as secretaries. “Gig” is employed by American Telephone and Telegraph and “Rach” by the Crown Drug Company. Sharon Gunigal plans to make her mark in the field of medicine. She is now attending St. Catherine’s School of Nursing in Omaha. Nick Corrado What is this beat generation coming to? Bill Malone, a '60 graduate from Miege, has earned the title “top notch hot check artist.” Bill, who is a freshman at St. Mary of the Plains college in Dodge City was “arrested” last week in attempting to pass a “hot check” in three of the local stores. It didn't take long for store personnel to realize what was going on, and within a matter of minutes the culprit was apprehended in the Wyatt Earp Boulevard Cafe. But store managers were in for a big surprise. Come to find out. Bill is employed at the Daily Globe newspaper in Dodge and was working along with the police to “test” the city stores for alertness. After it was all over and the offender handcuffed he was heard to say, “It was fun.” IT'S A DATE . . . by Patti Koos JAZZ—The Modem Jazz Workshop will sponsor a band concert with Count Basie and Stan Kenton at the Music Hall on October 30.

Teddy has indicated his desire for recognition so I would like to ac- knowledge him for his wonderful per- formance in the De La Salle game when he did an intricate full flip somersault and rolled onto the field. Ted, being such a modest lad, insists he merely tripped at that instance, but I wish to give him full credit for his gymnastic abilities. Bill Numrich, the ingenious student manager, took it upon himself to freshen the locker room recently. Bill noticed how stuffy it was and promptly knocked out one of the windows. Quick thinking, Bill, and keep up the good work. Modest lineman, Phil Meitner, insists, despite all rumors, that he will definitely not consider turning pro at least until he completes his junior year. Coach Dick Byard has sent a petition to the proper authorities asking for wider goal posts. It seems the Stag P. A. T. specialists are having their difficulties finding the crossbars. Kickers Johnny Long, Ron Taylor, and Tom O’Connell point to faulty holding of the ball. Place holder, Gary Rollheiser, says the prob- lem stems from faulty pass backs; and center. Cliff Seittcr says our boys just can’t kick the ball. There seems to be some diversity of opinion as Miege scores continue to be divisible by six. Dapper lineman, Mike Doyle, has made the scoring columns by intercepting a De La Salle pass and running for the TD. He has been nominated for line- man and back of the week by an anony- mous guard. I want to call your attention to a new column appearing for the first time in this issue. Written by all-around sports- man, Mike Ewing, it features a different car from Miege each month. I’m sure everyone is looking forward to the article on Coach Hill’s customized V.W. bus. We have just received a flash that the football team has announced Coach Larry Grosidier as assistant coach of the week beginning October 3 and ending October 9. An award was presented to the popular coach by bulging captain Ron Taylor. Freshman Stags Win Defense improves This year’s team, led by Coach Sehmeidler, has shown steady improve- ment through its first four games. Following a 6-0 defeat at the hands of Ward, the Stags met De La Salle on their home field. It was an extremely sloppy game, marred by numerous fum- bles and penalties, as neither team showed any real offensive punch. The game ended in a scoreless tie with few threats mounted by either team. At Rosedale the next week, Miege racked up its first victory of the season, winning by a score of 12-0. Dave Martin completed a 15-yard pass to Tom Dwyer for the first touchdown of the year by the freshmen. Pete Suess carried the ball seven consecutive times for the Stags, finally going over from the 3-vard line for the other touchdown. Miege came out on top for the second straight time against Pern-Day, routing them 32-0. Pete Suess led the Stag scorers with two touchdown runs of 45 and 10 yards. Tom Dwyer scored on a 25-yard pass from Dave Martin and Frank Bowers went over from the 3-yard line. Tommy Hammond added the final touchdown with a 30-yard runback of an intercepted pass. The highlight of the season has been the defensive unit which has yielded only one touchdown all year, and has held its last three opponents scoreless. Coach Schmiedler cited Frank Bowers, Mike Bader, Tom Dwyer, Don Black- man, Tom Geraghty, Bill Beyer, and Mike Hickey for their outstanding de- fensive play. Standouts on offense have been Pete Suess, Dave Martin, and Geraghty, while Bowers has done an excellent job of blocking. Bill Agnew Inside Interview: Was the game with Pern-Day harder or easier than you expected? Ronnie Taylor: You cannot rate Pern- Day as a “hard” or “easy” game. As Coach pointed out to us, Pern-Day didn’t have the natural ability that'we had, and we probably outweighed them. But there is a third factor to consider—desire. In this respect Pern-Day was never out out of the contest. What do you think was the highlight of the game ? Ronnie: The highlight of the game was undoubtedly Rollheiser’s circus catch of Long’s first quarter pass. It got us out of a hole and put Pern-Day into one. What is different about our team this year as compared with last year’s? Ronnie: Ask me again at the end of the season. Paul Gerling B-Team Record 2-1 Stags Beat Cadets The Miege B-team, under Coach Hill, emerged from their first three games with a record of two wins and one de- feat. In their opening game at Olathe, Miege completed its sweep against the Eagles by adding a B-team victory to its varsity triumph. The Stags outplayed Olathe all the way and, had it not been for numerous penalties, the score would have been even higher. Butch Smith opened the scoring in the first half by ending a long diive with a 5-yard touch- down run. In the second half, however, the Stags came to life, scoring three times. Dave Bussjaeger made the score 12-0 with a 6-yard run; then Pat Kelly picked off an Olathe pass and galloped 40 yards to the end zone to increase the margin to 18 points. Kelly added the final score by sprinting 6 yards around end for the touchdown. The only extra point of the game followed, making the final score, Miege 25 to Olathe 0. De La Salle almost stopped the B- tcam's winning streak at eight the next week, but the Stags pulled the game out of the fire in the final quarter. Go- ing into the last period, the score stood at 12-0, in favor of De La Salle. A 25-yard scoring pass from Rich McGill to Tommy O’Connell, and an extra point scored by O’Connell cut the margin to 12-7. The Stags again gained possession of the football and moved it to the 10- yard line from where Bob Foley broke through the De La Salle line and went all the way to the end zone to put the Stags ahead 13-12. A pass from Rich McGill to Dave Proffitt gave Miege the extra point and a hard-earned 14-12 victory. The B-team streak, however, was stopped at nine, as the Stags fell to Pern- Day, 12-0. Bill Agnew Frosh Style Series Cries of “You’re the Yankees—we’re the Pirates,” resounded on October 11 and 12 as the freshmen girls headed for the baseball diamond for their own World Series. Different teams were chos- en each day, but on both days the girls captained by Cathy Colleran were the victors while the group led by Pam Shannon was defeated. Girls who partici- pated were: Susie Newbanks, Susie Wickersham, Nancy Tremble, Betty Wartman, Kathy McCabe, Martha Ziegcl- meyer, Nancy McAvoy, Dianne Gerling, Pat McCabe, Pam Atchity, Ann Red- lingcr, Nancy Blodgett, Janice Armenta, Judy Tank, Margaret LeGrand, Sandy DeCelles, Mary Ann Newman, Connie Mealey, Marlene Fisher, Kathy Farrell, and Helen Hennier, umpire. 104 Judy Arnold Crowned Queen of 1960 Homecoming Celebrations Queen Judy Arnold and escort John Pat McGill The Stags’ Homecoming activities started with Holy Hour, held Thursday evening, November 3, at Saint Ann’s Church. Friday, November 4, in the midst of flashing cameras, ecstatic Stags, and triumphant music provid- ed by Charles VVasserman’s band, Queen Judy Arnold and her attendants; Lynda Ackman, Connie Bock, Kathy Drozda, and Peggy Hove were crowned at the Homecoming dance, in the gaily decorated cafeteria. The high spirits of Homecoming weekend con- tinued at the pep rally held Saturday night in the St. Agnes gym. Along with the traditional speeches from the coaches and faculty, various groups pre- sented skits built around the theme of “Beat Rock- hurst!” The rally obviously achieved its purpose— the Stags’ school spirit was at a fever pitch for the traditional game with Rockhurst Sunday afternoon. The game was preceded by a car parade carrying the royalty and the cheerleaders. At half time, the Queen and her attendants were driven around the field on the beautiful float to receive the warm ac- claim of the large Miege crowd. They were then escorted to the middle of the field, where Bob Koet- ting presented the Queen with a bouquet of red roses. The final score of the game was not on our side, but Miege won a victory in spirit and determination. me mieGion Bishop Miege High School_November, 1960 No. 3 National Book Week Arouses Interest National Library Book Week, November 15-19, was given its de- served place of prominence at Miege through a variety of activi- ties. On Wednesday and Thursday during the activity periods mem- bers of the library and literary clubs: Susan Wagner, Kathy Red- man, Pat Lanter, Don Gerling, Larry Alley, Sheila Downs, Connie McGee and Pat Landis, gave brief book reviews in the homerooms. Some of the books reviewed were: The Clock We Live On, Asi- mor; World of the Arctic, Smith; What We Must Know About Com- munism, Overstreet; Look to the Rose, Seifert; and Golden Tapes- tries, Sister Gregory Kaumans. Sister Juliana, school librarian, visited all the English classes to explain the form and purpose of the list of new book titles added to the library since last May. Sis- ter outlined the Dewey system of library classification and showed its application in the school library. She invited the students to frequent the library and become better ac- quainted with library proceedings. The theme “Hurray for Books” was carried throughout on bulletin boards, display cases and signs in the hallways. K.U. Draws Faculty, Stags On Math and Science Day Six Miege Stags, along with hun- dreds of other students from vari- ous schools around Kansas, partici- pated in the annual Math and Sci- ence Day held on October 22 in Lawrence. Conducted on the Uni- versity of Kansas Campus, the func- tion was attended by Mary Kay Pyle, Joanne Holtzman, John Nash, Bob Koetting, Jeff Bremser, and (Continued on Page 112) Teachers Miege Guests At Second Institute Held in Archdiocese Miege was host to the teachers of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas for the second teachers’ institute, November 10 and 11, while the Stags took two days off to sit back and study as they re- laxed, or was it to relax as they studied? The program opened with Pon- tifical Low Mass at St. Agnes Church with the Most Reverend Edward J. Hunkeler, Archbishop of Kansas City in Kansas, as celebrant. Among a number of honored speakers at the Institute were: Dr. Urban H. Fleege, De Paul Univer- sity; Sister Bertrande Meyers, D.C., President Marillac College, Nor- mandy, Mo.; and Mr. James Seidel- man. Nelson Gallery of Art. A total of sixty-one exhibits fas- cinated the onlookers, and demon- strated “61 ideas for ’61” and for the future. 105 Pens, Pencils and Politics When the election was at a high pitch, one could see an abundance of pins, buttons and other articles calling attention to the merits of the various presidential candidates. The person who just stood on the side- lines and watched all this would begin to wonder just what is going on. Is this a post-Halloween 50 per cent reduction sale, a party at which all the guests are masquerading as Christmas trees, or are these people really serious? The feelings in the two opposing camps seem to lie some- what in this manner: The Kennedy supporters comprise about 99 44 100% of those in school. This corresponds to the ratio shown in most Democratic propa- ganda sheets and assorted other publications, that is, K=.9944 P. Re- search reveals that the Miege pro-Kennedy faction does not know much about the man himself or what he and his party stand for. The determin- ing influences in this case are the fact that he is cute, rich, young, tousle- headed, and talks in a darling Bostonese accent. And we all know how vital it is to the future welfare of the United States to have a charming and vivacious first lady in the White House. The Nixon supporters must find other reasons than the above for backing their choice, as Mr. Nixon is obviously not as cute, rich, young, tousle-headed, and Bostonese as his opponent. Miege’s “Young Repub- licans’ seem to be for Mr. Nixon for the simple reason that nobody else is. The members of this group see the entire school going one way, and, being true non-conformists, decide to turn right around and go the other way. A third faction, definitely in the minority, has also made its appear- ance. This group supports such able politicians as Castro and Lumumba (candidates of the Anti-gringo and Chaos parties, respectively). It would not be surprising to see a Whig or two in the crowd. Well, that’s de- mocracy. The ultimate conclusion which I reach from all this is that very few “political-minded students” weigh both sides of an issue and formulate an intelligent opinion after taking all things into consideration. Making a person wait until he is twenty-one before he can vote does not seem to be such a bad thing after all. Dan Furst Reuther's Address Stand! the time has come, my lads! Will your jobs be took by SCABS? Will ye give them up to cads? Hope ye mercy still? What’s the mercy bosses know? Union men make quite a show— But non-coops can go and blow! Forward to the kill! Fear ye those who break our strikes? Punks and gangsters and their likes? Hoodlums riding motor bikes? Yes each man here sees. Who have done it! From the vale On them come! and why so pale? Printed rain and verbal hail Let their welcome be! In the God of strikers trust! Like Jimmy Hoffa, win or bust! And, O, where can dust to dust Be consigned so well. As where Sol his shafts shall shed On the Martyred striker’s bed, And the Senate raise its head, Of his deeds to tell.

Sis- ter Immaculata, Sister de Lourdes, Miss Hcllinger, Tom Walsh, Peggy Hove, Annette Penhallegon, Linda Trabon, Paul Gerling, Jo Magerl, Kathy Holland, Kay Hudson, Carolyn Cody, Bob Hansel, and Pat Driscoll were eagerly anticipating the convention session, but later spirits were somewhat dampened by a night spent on the train. Some of the more acceptable and non-censorable comments heard on this trip are listed below, compliments of the swift pen of Sister Immaculata. Tm for skipping the first day’s session to rest up.” “Yeah, and the second day to get rested up to go back.” At about 1:00 a.m. comes a plaintive voice breaking through the merry-making on the train: “Did you ever have a feel- ing that you wanted to sleep, and no- body else does?” “Hey! No wonder we’re not getting to Milwaukee—the train’s going back- wards.” About 3:00 a.m. after drowsiness had conquered the Stag passengers: “Will somebody draw the blinds?” “Now, wait a minute; jus’ cuz I take art—” (Courtesy of Jo Magerl.) “Good morning, Paul! It’s 4:00 o’clock and your hair looks like alfalfa.” As the starlight flickered through the Vene- tian blinds this was heard, “Do you ever have that striped feeling?” And so on through the night. It was a very tired group that finally arrived in Milwaukee at 10:30 a.m. Shortly afterwards all were gathered in the Mu- nicipal Auditorium to hear a talk by Edmund Arnold, editor Linotype News. The convention was keynoted with a speech by Reverend Thurston N. Davis, S.J., editor in chief of America. During the sectional meetings the staff received hints on gathering the news, photography, public relations, and the place of a magazine in the high school. The Saturday sessions ended with a dance sponsored by Theta Sigma Phi and Sigma Delta Chi (National Journal- ism Fraternities) at the Marquette Uni- versity Memorial Union. When the travelers arrived home at the Union Station at 8:00 o’clock Sunday morning, there were visible blue circles under various pairs of eyes. Somebody remarked when the staff met at the 2:30 game with Hayden, “It’s sure easy to tell who's been to Milwaukee, isn’t it?” The answering comment was, “Yes, but it was sure worth it!” New Officers Now Preside Over Clubs Recent club activities at Miege have included the installation of the new officers in their respective clubs. Officers are: Art Appreciation—Mary Kay Amo- neno, president; Susan Roche, vice-president; Peggy Hove, sec- retary and treasurer; Sister Mary Grace, Moderator.

(Continued on Page 112) Math Club Instructed On Engineer's Transit “. . . and, knowing these angles and the other given data, we may calculate by trigonometric func- tions the remaining sides,” ex plained Mr. Paul Dwyer of Dwyer Kite, Consulting Engineers. Mr. Dwyer is a member of St. Agnes Parish and was demonstrat- ing an engineer’s transit to the Mathematics club on Friday, No- vember 18. Through illustrations and explanations, the club received an interesting and informative in- struction concerning the applica- tions of this instrument. This was especially of advantage to students in trigonometry, since they see the ways in which their subject is used in every-day life. Before leaving, Mr. Dwyer re- minded the club that certainly there are many facets to the field of engineering, he himself having delved into a very few in his lim- ited time for the demonstration. 107 Seniors Take Part in Science Program Miege representatives this year in the Science Talent Search Program held at Kansas University Medical Center are Mike Doyle and Joanne Holtzman. This program is sponsored by the Kaw Valley Heart Associa- tion and is under the direction of Dr. Tom R. Hamilton, head of the Dept, of Microbiology at the Medical Center, and Mr. Leonard Molotsky. The participants, who come from Topeka, Leavenworth, and Paola, as well as the Kansas City area, meet on Saturdays for seminars in such fields as Bacteriology, Biochemistry, Organism Chemistry, etc. Selected students will have the opportunity to work on projects dur- ing the week in the Microbiology department under Dr. Hamilton or with another advisor. These projects vary with the interests of the individual students. Mike, a beginner in the program this year, is interested in work- ing with antibiotics. Joanne, working on a project last year (which was concerned with the problem of the increasing rate of penicillin-resistance) submitted an entry in the Kansas City Science Fair where she received Senior Grand Prize from the Kaw Valley Heart Association. She also was awarded an Honorable Mention in the Future Scientists of America Contest. Joanne continued her work at the Medical Center during the summer months, having been given a fellowship through the Science Talent Search Program. An abstract of her project was sent by Dr. Hamilton to the Society for Clinical Research and is printed in the November, 1960, issue of their Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine. This program aims to encourage students who are interested in medicine and medical research by giving them an insight into the field of science through active participation while preparing them for college and advanced work. President-elect John F. Kennedy as photographer Bill Humphrey caught him at the Democratic rally at the Municipal Auditorium in October. A number of Stags attended the rally. Stags Perform Phenomenal Before and After Feat Preliminary to Homecoming Extensive renovation of a Fal- staff delivery truck resulted in a gorgeous float to “Float” down a football field for Miege. This op- eration, through the efforts of numerous Stags, literally turned rags to riches. This throne, worthy of royalty, was used by the homecoming queen, Judy Arnold, and her at- tendants as they reigned at Rock- hurst field. Several days before the home- coming, Miege acquired (for use at the event) a beer delivery track in its saddest form. Eager and competent Industrial Aits students vigorously commenced the transi- tion which was to soon be unrecog- nizable to anyone in the beer in- dustry. The track was transformed into a work of art after the basic framework was constructed over the body shell. Thanks to the efforts of these ambitious Stags who were self- sacrificing and willing to help! Jack Schwab Upperclassmen Take Tesfs; Seniors Seek Scholarships “Phew, what a test.” These were words heard uttered upon completion of the ACT ex- amination at Donnelly College, Kansas City, Kansas, by some of the seniors at Miege. Scholarship-seeking vultures con- verged upon the target (Donnelly) at 8:00 CST on Saturday morning, November 5, 1960. For many, this was a trying experience, taking into consideration the fact that the Homecoming dance was the eve- ning previous to this date. This was only one of many exams to be given to seniors this' year. To Thee have I lifted up my soul: in Thee, O My God, I put my trust, let me not be ashamed. Another test which has already been administered is the Prelimi- nary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT). Among those yet to come are the Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Boards, the Future Engi- neers Test, the Science Achieve- ment Test, and a test given to the Junior class which is the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT). To the underclassmen, hope is expressed that they will look for- ward to these various examinations as a means to College Placement as well as for scholarship possi- bilities. Advent is the season in which the Church begins to unfold anew to us the redemptive mysteries of our Lord. It calls for something new, a new awakening on our part. Why not begin the Church year with a new spirit in preparation for the Coming of the Infant King? 108 by Lynda Ackman 1.

CoL oiumn by Pat Adams The Topeka High School World brings a point to ponder to the high school student of today: The shape of our future is in our hands today . . . during high school more than any other time, our work and study habits, as well as our outlook on life are formed. . . . Here are some “sick” jokes from the Paola Panther: Darling, you’re my whole world, big, fat, and round. Fly away with me . . . we’ll use your broomstick. I love your new hair-do. I never realized steel wool could be so be- coming. Some advice from the Olpha, Tampa, Florida: The human crea- ture is an animal of curiosity, and always will be, thanks to his “su- perior” logic and reasoning. The final word? Put a little fun in your life, try individuality. More solid thought comes from the Maui- Hill Tatler: Rules are necessary evils. They are made for our own good, not so that Au- thority will be able to punish us or that we shall be hindered by them. They protect us in every- thing we do as long as we follow them. It is impossible for Authority to turn us loose and not have to worry about us because it is con- trary to civilization that a man do as he pleases. Rules must be kept so that order of life may be main- tained. We are reminded by the Augus- tinian Shield: “True leadership is based on sound morals and right judgment, if God is there. Remem- ber—youth is the CITADEL OF THE FUTURE! If you think you’re working hard, just listen to this: Rosemary Skin- ner, an exchange student at Topeka High School who came from Syd- nev, Australia, carries a full sched- ule of TWENTY COURSES when at school in Australia! It seems students from “down under” are really on top as far as studies are concerned! by Elaine Hunter The Literary Club, sponsored by Sister Georgetta, began discussing various short stories, both classical and non-classical, in panels of five on Friday, November 11. Alpha Lambda, sponsored by Sister Grace, better known as the Fine Arts Club, requested a film on Oriental Art at their first meet- ing. They saw at the meeting of October 28, a film called “Con- spiracy at Kyoto” on some ancient water-colored scrolls depicting an event in that city. The newly formed French Club has had one meeting and has al- ready elected officers and stated their plans. The officers are Caro- lyn Cody and Lillian Pintar. The plans are to (1) buy books for class and outside reading, (2) get movies on the history of France with and without English subtitles as well as other French films, (3) produce skits for the benefit of both the French I and the French II classes, and (4) better the spoken French of the members, who are, by the way, members of the French II class who maintain a C or better average. The club is sponsored by Sister Marie Therese, who teaches all the French classes. Ward High School extended an invitation to the Stags to attend a mixer held in their gym on No- vember 9. This marked the first time that Miegians had been in- vited to such a function, other than after a football game. A number of Stags turned out for the occa- sion and danced to the swinging music of the Silvertones (of Soc- Hop fame). 109 Theodore's Theories IT'S A DATE ... by Patty Koos by Ted Dickey Loathing lateness, it has been my unfortunate predicament to have been associated with Lateness Personified, Ronnie Taylor. This boy is so repeatedly late that I would bet my last cent he'll be late for his funeral. But all isn't Reggie's fault. One Southern- fried Blonde helps things a little. But while on the subject of promptness, one SENIOR co-captain of the football team type lad, who has so righteously been deemed “Snake,” held up the crowning of the Homecoming Queen some 30 minutes because he and one Miss “Block” weren’t there on time. “Snaky Boy” says that they went out to eat and had a slow waiter. I leave this matter up to everyone’s imagination. One member of the Hope family, driven either by jealousy of her brother or desire to follow in his footsteps, rushed madly into the locker room after the Hayden game. Congratulating one and all, she sat down in the corner of the room and waited for Coach Byard’s inspiring talk. During all these pro- ceedings John Long and Dick Barbour labored fever- ishly trying to remove her from the room. Finally she was coaxed to leave. We’d like to commend her for her fine school spirit. The football team is still astonished after seeing the occurrence of Coaches Bvard and Grosdidier after the Hayden game. Upon returning to Miege from Ward field, Mr. Byard and Mr. Grosdidier were ob- sessed with the idea of taking a shower in the locker room With Their Clothes ON. With cries of “No coach, don’t get in that cold shower,” and, “Coach, you’ll ruin your good suit and tie if you get in that shower,” the coaches threw themselves into the shower. Thirty-five players rushed to their aid, trying to pull them out, but it was to no avail. I guess after all that tension which had built up all year was re- leased, they just broke down. Before closing, I would like to ask the Stags if they might dig up a few odds and ends. 1. One long coil of rope and one rubber plunger- needed very urgently for next party! 2. One road map of Greater K. C. Area for one southern boy who seems to be getting lost frequently.

A cross section of interested participants and “exhibit viewers” at the second biennial Archdioccsan Institute held at Miege November 10 and 11. The Alumnews The Homecoming turned out to be a wonderful success for everyone. We were happy to welcome a few of our former Stags at the dance. Among those were Gigi Heilman, Carolyn Reilly, Jim Barry, Mike Fitzgerald, Becky Fredlake, Tony Ciston, and Ken McDonald. Later in the evening Johnny Granquist and Jerry Abeel stopped in to say hello. Bob Fcrkcnhoff was at the Pep Rally and we were very thank- ful to him for driving our float at the Homecoming game. Congratulations to Mike Hope, who made first string football at Wentworth Military Academy. He loves football, but it’s been heard that he doesn’t care too much for the cadet bit! Don’t be surprised if one of these days you walk into a hospital and come face to face with your old Pep Club president, Mary Ann Thesing. She is now attending St. Mary’s College in Xavier, Kansas, where she is majoring in Nursing and was recently chosen vice-president of the Frosh class. Camille Lewis and Mary Beth Dowd have enjoyed the past two and a half months at St. Mary’s of the Plains in Dodge City. Camille, varsity cheerleader her senior year at Miege (’60) is continuing her cheerleading activities as a mem- ber of the squad in Dodge City. Tom Cutcliffe and Bill Malone arc attending St. Mary’s of the Plains at Dodge City. Janet Schmitz is going after the advanced three “R’s” at the College of St. Teresa and Jeanne Beyer is attending Mount Saint Scholastica College, Atchison. Pam Blaschum 110 Bluestreaks Fall to Stags Miege roared to its sixth straight victory of the season by outclassing the St. Joseph Bluestreaks 25-0. Miege was the superior team from the opening kickoff, but eight fumbles and a slew of penalties kept the Stags from running up the score. Seniors John Long, Mike Ewing, John Nash, and Dick Bar- bour played an important part in the victory. Co-captain, Ron Tay- lor picked off a Bluestreak pass and ran the ensuing 15 yards for the touchdown. A rock-ribbed line racked up its third straight shutout and fourth of the season. To date only 19 points have been scored against the highly tauted Stag defense. John Wheeler Stags Defeat Argentine Despite a wet field, the Miege Stags exploded early to defeat Ar- gentine 14-0 for their fifth straight victory. Sophomores Mike Murray, Dave Lerner, and Tom Keehn played a big role in the victory. Keehn scored on an intercepted pass. The Stags experienced a letdown after their superb play against Maur Hill the preceding week. Sophs Pat Kelly, Dave Bussjaeger, and Ed Younger, all playing in their first real varsity competition, showed promise of good things in the future. The score does not ac- tually show how the game went, as two penalties took Miege out of scoring range. A third called back a touchdown by Mike Ewing. Once again gang tackling made it impossible to single out any one defensive standout. Miege Closes Fast To Down Hayden Miege closed out the 1960 sea- son by downing Hayden 20-0. Eight seniors played their last game. Miege finished with an 8-1 record for the year. Johnny Long led the offense by scoring three times on runs of 9 and 1 yards and a 77-yard punt return. Dick Barbour was the steady ground- gainer while Long cashed them in. Ron Taylor was the defense leader backed up by juniors Cliff Seitter and Phil Meitner. Penalties were the sole factor which kept the Stags from running up a large majority. During one series of downs Miege was penalized 20 yards which eventually forced them to punt. Stag Lines: During the last three years Miege has rolled up the best record of any school in the area. The Stags have won 22 while losing only 4. John Wheeler Hawklets Victorious Rockhurst came to win and so did the Stags, but the bigger Hawk- lets came out on top of a 13-7 score. The Miege gridders, under the de- termined leadership of co-captains Ron Taylor and John Nash, played their finest game of the season. No one thought that the Stags would ever come close to the team twice rated number one in the city. It looked as if the Hawklets were going to roll the Stags into the ground as they fought their way to the Miege 20-yard line. The first penalty of the game, called against Miege, gave Rock- hurst a first down and they then proceeded to score. Once again the Stag defense rose up to hold Rockhurst to a 6-0 lead at halftime. John Nash, Ron Tay- lor, Mike Doyle, and Phil Meitner all played vital roles in the annual Homecoming game. Rockhurst, led by Pat Rapp, Jim Whitaker, and the crushing play of Jan Mullin, kept the Stag offensive progress down to a minimum and often threatened to score. The breakthrough came midway in the third quarter when Mike Murray fumbled while trying to pass and the red-dogging Hawklets recov- ered on the Miege 28. Jim Whitak- er slanted off tackle and scooted the twenty-eight yards for the sec- ond Rockhurst touchdown and a 13-0 advantage. The Stags, under the daring play of John Long and Dick Barbour, fought their way to a tally when Long hit end, Mike Ewing, with a pass that Ewing pulled from between two Rockhurst defenders. Ron Taylor kicked the extra point. Miege came back for more and tested the Rockhurst defense by fighting back and marching to the Rockhurst 20, where with less than two minutes remaining, the Stag eleven lost the ball on downs. Ron Taylor led the defense by continually menacing the Rock- hurst offense by his heads-up play. Paul Gerling An exciting moment as the Stags trample Hayden at the last game of the season. Ill The football season is over officially here at Miege and so, a few sentences before we throw in the towel. My in- glorious staff of reporters and myself deem it fit to present the following awards: Worst Back—This goes to John Nash. We feel only Johnny deserves this award mainly because he not only did not step a foot into the backfield all season but was one of two linemen not to score a point. Best Dancer—Paul Pagacz’s late season rush garnered this one for him. Best Dressed—Mike Doyle again! Best Fed—Ron Taylor withstood rugged competition from Ted Dickey and Rich McGill. Best Conditioned—Richard Frances Bar- bour got this one through grueling pre-season preparation and mental de- termination. Most Popular—Dave Lemer by a land- slide. Most Handsome—Mike Ewing—need I say more? Most Agile—Embracing tackles and De La Salle performance were enough for Ted Dickey. Most Aggressive—Kathy Drozda, although she failed to suit up for a single game. Best Coach—Byard, Grosdidier, and Hill in a three-way tie edged out Dave Lemer. Hard Luck Case—John Wheeler whose myriad of extra-curricular activities kept him from completing season. Perseverence—Ralph Parra met little op- position. Most Inspiring Performer-Linda Trabon in her unique costume? Credit for the highly successful season must go to coaches Larry Byard, Jim Grosdidier, and Dick Hall. I mean Jim Byard, Larry Hill and Dick Grosdidier. Or is it Bob Hill, Tom Grosdidier, and Ben Schwartzwalder. Take a bow, coaches. It has been suggested that Coach Grosdidier purchase a heavier car or load the trunk of his present one with sand. It seems that the little automobile has a tendency to activate itself without mechanical means. The team celebrated the closing of the season by first attempting to drown the coaches, then attending a dinner at the McGill Estate. They proceeded to a quiet party and all turned in early. (The preceding was a paid political an- nouncement.) It has been called to my attention that I have failed to mention the Pep Club in preceding issues. Girls, you are not forgotten. Led by eloquent Margaret Hove and by a colorful band of cheer- leaders, this group lends an unexpenda- ble aspect to all activities. Coming up in the way of sports are: (1) Table tennis tourney and (2) exciting basketball season. In our next issue, I hope to have a player-profile of the con- troversial roundball star, “Nose” Gerling. Jeff Bremscr Success is not found but earned. Congratulations to the team on their successful season. K.U.

It il- lustrates a very important point that we strive to make during the season. Naturally, at the beginning of the season, we are making preparations to have a successful season and will make a tremendous effort to have a winning season. We feel after it is all over, that it has been successful if we have played up to our capacity, made a great effort, were able to avoid serious injury and are fortunate to win the majority of our games. Much hard work goes into the making of a successful season. This involves work by the coaches, pep club, etc.; but especially a great deal of hard work and sacrifice on the part of each and every player. When we have this, plus some good talent and a few breaks, we have a winning season, as we had this year. However, what if a few breaks would have gone the other way and we would have lost several more games? Would we still have continued the hard work and sacrifice? With all athletes— I hope so. With Miege athletes—I feel confident they would. It all comes back to one point, and it is the only thing that a coach truly expects from an athlete. That is that he do the best possible job he is capable of doing and be able to face the Man in the Glass. This has been certainly a wonderful season for all of us. We have had a tremendous group of seniors to lead us and a fine group of underclassmen to follow their example. We have every reason to be proud and happy of our team. But a victorious season is also a fine time to stop and reflect for a mo- ment on what would our reaction be to a losing season. Would it be a suc- cessful one? The final verse sums up the poem on the “Man in the Mirror” this way: “You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years, And get pats on the back as you pass, But your final reward will be heartache and tears, If you’ve cheated the Man in the Glass. 112 Clods .Blessings Q s J nd Ifte Veto Year Dear Faculty and Students: Peace does not consist merely in the absence of war or tension among men. True peace is not found in the absence of something —but in the abiding presence of Someone in the minds and hearts of all men. As we celebrate the birthday of the Prince of Peace, I pray that each of you may be blessed with that Peace which the world can- not give, namely, the Peace of Christ which is possessed in the souls of those who serve him; and that His Peace will abide with you during the new year. Father Sullivan Debate Victories Show Future Promise Miege debaters attended two de- bate tournaments over the week- end of December 9 and 10. The better record was shown at the William Chrisman (Indepen- dence, Mo.) tournament by Don Bollard and Jed Kee. They were undefeated at the end of four rounds, but were expunged from the race by a defeat in the semi- finals.

Jack’s time, 53.3 seconds, bettered the previ- ous record of 55.0 seconds for this event. Last year as a freshman. Jack competed in the Kansas High School State Swimming Meet and took fourth place in the 100-yard freestyle. Jack is also a member of the Homestead Country Club swimming team. Bill Agnew Stags Plan Carnival “Frosty’s Frolics,” a carnival and dance sponsored by the Student Council, will be held on December 26 in the recreation room and in the cafeteria respectively. There will be twelve club-sponsored booths, each featuring a different type of entertainment to add to the festivity of the occasion. The primary purpose of the car- nival is to give the students an opportunity to get together during the holidays; the secondary pur- pose is to raise funds to help pay for the food, clothing, and sup- plies given to needy families on Christmas by the Student Council. Stags helped provide for these families previous to the carnival during “Charity Week,” December 12 to 16, by contr ibuting to a daily collection for that purpose. Father Thomas Culhane, Diocesan Vocation Director, interviews Marianne Allen and a number of other seniors about their plans for the future. 113 Editorials Over the Hump . . . Then ? ? Our society breeds thrills. As a child grows older he isn’t satisfied with everyday happenings. The shows he watches often have to be fights, things of violence, things he will remember. A book about Indians isn’t nearly as exciting as a show about In- dians, because the pages of a book don’t offer the “real’’ excitement of repeated bloodshed, or the “real” thrill of men killing each other. As this generation grows older, it is becoming less and less satisfied with the things of yesterday. In the fields of fashion, science, or learning, this yearning for more is progress. But oftentimes the things we foresee of tomorrow would be better un- seen at all. We are floundering from one entertain- ment to the next, from one mink coat like Mrs. Jones’s to another, and from one new car like Mrs. Jones’s to another. Soon we will find ourselves caught in the rat race—caught in the race of one thrill pitted against the other. “Ben-Hur” is said to offer better entertainment than most other pictures. At the present rate, though, even its stomach-churning scenes of a dying man won’t be enough. Could it be that we will someday clamour for a movie that offers actual human death? Could it be that we will want another Roman Coli- seum? Many people think that “Ben-Hur” came too close for comfort. This roller-coaster ride is a down-hill race. To- day we are at the summit of the road’s steepest descent. Once we pass over the hump we won’t be able to stop. We will tumble, as did the people of Rome, faster and faster, further and further from home, until, suddenly awakening to panic, we find ourselves at the brink of the pit. Then we will lament because the brakes were never applied. “If only someone had pumped them back in 1960,” we will say. We at Miege have the power to apply these brakes. The curriculum we have here is preparing us, in the best way possible, for the challenge that lies ahead. Our everyday assignments in speech, re- ligion, English, or algebra are teaching us to think clearly and to speak up for what we know is best. The courses we are taking now will help us to show others what is right. Our fighting football spirit will become the zeal this country needs. Our teachers are showing us how to face problems head on, how to study these problems, decide what it is we REAL- LY want, and then combat what we believe is wrong. Miege is a power house of potential, preparing the mechanisms that will stop the rat race. Susan Roche And what satellite were you launching?” If I Were . . . ... an ANGEL, bright against the sky I would have raised my voice In praise of Him, telling all the world lie has come; it is time to rejoice. ... a SHEPHERD, making haste to Bethlehem On that night divine, I would have knelt down on my knees To praise and thank God for sending Jesus, my Redeemer, to me. . . . a STAR in the sky On that night so long ago I would have shone my brightest On the scene, to let everybody know. . . . the STABLE in which this cvcr-great And reigning King was born, I would Have closed up all my cracks to guard Him From the cold as best I could. ... a LAMB standing so close to the Holy Babe, I would have let a warm and soothing breath Of air fall upon Our Savior’s Small freezing hands. . . . the MANGER in which the Holy Child lay I would have smoothed my rough and Splint’ry boards to make them More worthy of a King. . . . the STRAW in that manger crude and hard I would have woven myself into a Soft and gentle mattress on which Mary’s Child could lay His hallowed head.

Girls Vie for Award Trying for the top national prize of $5,000 scholarship to the college of the winner’s choice in any field of study she may decide upon, twenty senior girls took the Betty Crocker Test for the Future Home- makers of Tomorrow Tuesday morning, December 6. The test covered homemaking knowledge and attitudes. The results will be known in a few weeks, and at that time, the highest scorer in the school will be recognized. The Miege students are in competition with girls throughout the United States. C.C.D. Members Certified On December 9 two Miege stu- dents, Kay Hudson and Pat Dris- coll, were presented C.C.D. certifi- cates at Donnelly college. They merited them by attending ck;s last spring and teaching religious vacation school last summer. Father Schwalm, director of the Confra- ternity of Christian Doctrine pre- sented the certificates and gave the address. A third deserving student, Jo Magerl, was unable to attend that evening. Next spring after the girls complete thirty hours of teaching, they will be issued their C.C.D. diplomas by the Arch- bishop. Study Formulae Algebraic But Effective and Helpful As most of the students in Eng- lish I know, the latest “torture” conceived by the teachers is the SRA Reading program. Although we are assured by the teachers that this course is geared for reading and study improve- ment, the variety of formulae such as “TQLR” and “SQ3R” add an algebraic flavor to the work. All have certainly found the pro- gram interesting and very helpful, and find themselves improving rapidly, though many have wished for an accountant’s training in fig- uring scores, graphs, dates, color codes, scores, etc., in all areas cov- ered by them. It is rumored, however, that many good Irishmen have skipped the orange level and are perma- nent members of the green section. John Wisner Debate (Continued from Page 113) Rich McGill and John Wheeler participated in a tournament at Salina, Kans., where they won four debates and lost two. This was indeed a fine record, as Salina was the harder of the two tournaments. Judging from these results, a fine showing is prognosticated for the Miege squad in later tourna- ments and the 1961 regionals. Dan Furst Bookkeepers Host Speakers Mr. Daryl Gross, a bookkeeper for the Roeland Park State Bank, paid a visit to the third hour book- keeping class December 7. He ex- plained to the students how to open and take care of checking and savings accounts, what the bank does with the money de- posited, how the bank handles checks written on an account, and many other informative matters. By passing out cards and papers used in the bank and explaining the purpose of each, Mr. Gross showed the students that a knowl- edge of bookkeeping and banking would someday be a valuable as- set. Ron Kowalweski Industrial Arts Classes Complete Major Projects Coffee tables, bookcases, night stands, and tables, corner tables, bars for recreation rooms, stools, and bows are some of the many projects which the woodworking students are busily constructing in their classes. The smaller projects have been completed and the larg- er ones will be finished by the semester. Advanced drafting students are advancing in the drawing field by drawing more difficult objects in mechanical drawing. Architectural drawing students are learning and drawing parts of a house so that they will be better qualified to design their own home, a project required in the course. The drafting I classes are fa- miliarizing themselves with draw- ing instruments and the drafting room processes, and are learning to letter with the correct strokes. Sisters Stephen and Juliana took a fast trip north to Chicago for a Teacher’s Convention. Alpha Lambda, sponsored by Sister Mary Grace, listened to a recording of Tchiakovsky’s Swan Lake.

It would be most worthwhile for any student carrying a “B” average to look thoroughly into the scholarships which are being offered to help him further his education beyond high school. Five main sources of national scholarships are now available. First is the Alfred B. Sloan National Scholarship which offers 135 scholarships, apportioned to certain colleges, which range from $200 to $2,000 per year, depending on the need of the student (which is determined by the Educational Testing Service). Next is the General Motors Scholarship which offers 304 four-year scholarships at cer- tain colleges plus 100 four-year scholar- ships through a national program, each of which range from $200 to $2,000 per year, depending on need. Westing- house offers 10 scholarships per year of $1,000 each, which are available only to Senior boys in the top ten per cent of their class. National Foundation Health Scholarships of $500 per year are awarded to 300 students, and Proc- ter Gamble offers 60 scholarships per year which include full college tui- tion and fees. These are a few of the major scholar- ships offered to high school seniors who are contemplating college. Besides these national scholarships, there are many scholarships available through the col- leges themselves, as well as through business, industry, and various other or- ganizations. A list of scholarships, grants, and loans offered by colleges may be obtained by writing to the scholarship chairman of the particular college. If one is planning to attend college, he should take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (College Board Examination) which is open to all seniors. The fee for this three-hour test is $4.00. The test itself deals mainly with mathematics and Eng- lish usage and vocabulary and is given six times a year: December 3, January 14, February 14, March 18, May 20, and August 9. To help the student prepare for the SAT test, the College Board offers the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) which is administered annually in October at high schools throughout the world. Candidates register directly with their high school principal. This test is a two-hour version of the regular SAT. Those who plan to take the test in coming years may also be interested in the book How to Prepare for College Entrance Examinations, which is pub- lished by Barron's Educational Series, Great Neck, New York, and is available at most book stores for $2.00. Don Bollard Around the World at Christmas Time Santa Claus, Christmas trees, jingle bells, wreaths of holly, carolers, snow men —to every American, the thought of these things brings a feeling of warmth and cheer, for they symbolize the feast of Christmas. But the American custom is only one of numerous ways in which this feast is celebrated around the world. One of the most beautiful of all Christmas customs is that of Ireland. Here, on Christmas evening, candles are lighted and placed in every window and doors are leit ajar. These arc symbols of hospitality—signs that no couple seeking shelter for a Babe Who is the Son of God will be turned away. The candles shine all night long, and can be snuffed only by those having the name Mary. A cup and saucer is placed on the table of each home for the benefit of wandering souls from purgatory, who are believed to come home for Christmas. In Holland, the little children provide food for St. Nick's horse by stuffing their clean wooden shoes with hay and carrots and placing them on the window sills. When the children rise the next morning, it is their belief that it was St. Nick who replaced the hay and carrots with small gifts and toys. Religious ceremonies dominated the English Christmas celebrations. In this country, carolers gather under the lofty cathedrals at midnight on Christmas Eve to sing old and cherished hymns. On that evening, each family brings in its own yule log which, according to tradition, will bring the members of the household good luck in the new year. The German celebration, much like the American, has contributed many famous customs, including the “Tannebaum,” Kris Kringle, the immortal carol “Silent Night, and the giving of hand-carved toys on Christmas. In Sweden, the oldest girl of the household, dressed as St. Lucia—all in white with a red sash around her waist and wearing a crown of pine boughs haloed by seven lighted candles, awakens the family, bringing them coffee and cakes on a tray, thereby proclaiming the arrival of the Christmas season on December 13. Holiday celebrations continue until Christmas Eve when they end with tree-trimming, sing- ing, dancing, and the opening of presents. On Christmas Eve in Spain, the children dress in peasant costumes and enact the age-old custom of dancing around the Nativity Scene. According to Spanish tradition, the Magi are said to journey to Bethlehem each year, so on the eve of the Epiphany, the children, laden with gifts, wait at the city gates to greet the Kings. They wait until after sunset before turning homeward, believing the Kings to have passed behind the mountains. Spanish children have no Christmas tree, nor do they hang up stockings. Instead, they hide slippers and shoes for the Wise Men to fill with candy and toys. “Pinata” is the gay custom of the Mexicans. The “pinata is a great earthenware bowl, resembling the face of an animal, and filled with fresh fruits, candy, and good- luck charms. The children gather ill a circle around the “pinata” and one after another is blindfolded and has a turn at breaking it. After many attempts, the “pinata” is broken and the scramble for the scattered contents begins. In France, a miniature nativity scene is arranged by the children and placed in the living room. This nativity scene, called a “creche,” is exquisitely lighted for the magnificent religious services where hymns are sung, incense burned, and bells rung. After Midnight Mass, all partake in “reveillon,” an elaborate feast. A giant figure of Melchior with a basket on his back and dressed in fantastic garb is strapped to a donkey and paraded from door to door to gather food which the generous may give. These foods are taken to the Church and the poor of the parish are beckoned to come and receive the gifts left by “Melchior.” Each country has its own way of celebrating this feast. Yet all the celebrations have this basic fact in common—they all originate in Christ. On this day men’s hearts go out to their Savior in a special way—for it is the Birthday of the King. Joanne Iloltzman 116 by Lynda Ackman Congratulations, Coach Byard, on your new assistant. Steve Murray, in all the excite- ment of being elected co-captain, misplaced his little gold football. Maybe Mary Ann Kahler knows where it is. Phil Meitner didn’t want to be selfish so he tried to give one of his awards back at the Lettermen s Banquet. That’s O.K., Phil, we un- derstand. By the sound of the screams coming from speech class, we’re wondering what Sister Stephen does to her students. Coach Schmiedeler is consider- ing using his five girls for the starting lineup this year. Ever hear of using frozen band- aids for cold cuts? What five girls were missing from Margaret Grady’s slumber party between the hours of three and four Saturday morning? Bob Hansel, how did Nancy Newbanks ever burn your nose with a cigar? At the Senior Hay Ride Mike Ewing and Margaret Grady just couldn’t seem to stay on the wagon going around those sharp corners. How in the world did Toby Heininger ever manage to fall out of a car head first? cuiije CoL olumn by Pat Adams The CHI RIIOAN of McGuin- ness High in Oklahoma City has taken a stand against an ever pres- ent evil in high school life—the clique. An average person will not concentrate on the capturing of everyone’s companionship, but in- stead will concentrate on a few who have the same interests, tal- ents, and characteristics. This is an un-Christian like attitude. There is nothing wrong in having a few special friends, but the high school student should also remember that a great part of his development rests on all society around him. Want to make yourself unpopu- lar? Here are three easy ways as cited by the students of SUMNER COURIER: Start tales on other students. Humiliate others by laughing at their mistakes. Play practical jokes; this is dyna- mite to popularity. The seniors of PIUS XI SCHOOL in Milwaukee, Wiscon- sin, have adopted a “big-buddy system” to guide and illuminate the freshman. A senior boy and a girl were selected to be the coun- selors for each of the freshman homerooms. Each week they talk about general items as well as timely ones to the freshman. This sort of spirit in a school is sure to have good results and is an ac- tion that might be worthy of adopt- ing. The students of DIVINE CHILD HIGH SCHOOL in Dear- born, Michigan, held a discussion on the idea of “What is considered the most important qualities in a Catholic girl and boy.” Some of the best comments were: A girl must have patience with the mistakes a boy often makes. He’s only trying to make a good impression. No boy likes a conceited girl, but a little sophistication and mys- tery add to her charm. On December 6, two seniors, Tom Walsh and Bob Hansel, at- tended a lecture entitled, “Opera- tion Safe Home” at the Southeast Community Center. The program, which was sponsored by the Great- er Kansas City Safety Council, gave ideas on safety for school, home, and at work. Also on the 6th, a large number of senior girls attended the “Saint Teresa’s College Day.” The pro- gram, which was held from 1:00 to 3:30 had representatives from many western Catholic colleges to describe the life and courses each one offers. Some junior girls are preparing a charter for a dramatics club which will be open to sophomores, juniors,and seniors. For further in- formation, see Miss Layden. The Y. C. S. has voted to spon- sor an essay contest, the title of which will be “The Value of the Mass in the Life of a Miege Stu- dent.” This contest stems from a recent survey taken by the Y. C. S. to determine the number of Stags who attend Mass during the week. The results of the survey are as follows: Those going to daily Mass ... ..................44 students Those going at least three days a week ...........121 students Those who could but don’t.... ..................225 students Also the girls of Home Ec are making much needed new green and black vestments for our Chapel under Sister Marianne’s watchful eye. 117 Theodore's Theories Xmas time is here again and you know, when you get right down to it, we Americans aren’t really appreciative of Xmas. Well, not nearly as apprecia- tive as the Russians are anyway. Why, Russian peasants start getting excited months before time. They feel that they have so much to look forward to. Papa gets to come home from the salt mines for the day and Mama doesn’t have to go to the brickworks until noon. But it’s really the children who exemplify the festive spirit. For months they prepare for the coming of Comrade Claus. (Also called Santa by those countless num- bers of capitalistic warmongering Americans.) They visit him at his house at the North Pole of Siberia. (Usually they have no other choice. We call it being exiled, but when you have that Xmas spirit you call it a prolonged visit.) Even the Secret Police are moved by this display. Two weeks before Xmas they decorate their riot guns and clubs with holly and paint them festive shades of red and green. Then, while they’re breaking up those frequent riots they hum Xmas carols. It’s quite a touching scene. And the presents—! New gunny sacks for the girls at the brickworks, new shovels and picks for the boys at the salt mines, and Hammer and Sickle flags for the kids. I’m sure now that you can see how ungrateful the American populace is. And I know you will try to correct your faults come December 25.

Bill Humphrey (junior) The Alumnews Johnny Granquist, Vince Bower, Ken McDonald, Boh Ferkcnhoff, and Mike Fitzgerald, all from the class of ’60, are specially interested in a certain activity at St. Benedict's College in Atchison. It seems that a certain priest enjoys watching Maverick every Sunday night and he asked the hoys one Sunday if they would come to his “holy” hour start- ing at 6:30. It has now become a regular routine. When the TV goes on, smoke and silence fill the room. Bonnie Wicinski, varsity cheerleader for Miege (’59), has made quite a success in life in the two short years she has been out of high school. After graduation she applied for typing and shorthand work at the telephone company and after a while was put on telephone work which she didn’t like. She then applied as an airline hostess hut was turned down because she was too young. She decided to take an English and Business course at Donnelly College. When her previous employer from the telephone company found out, he knew that she was the kind of a girl who was interested in her work and one he would be proud to have work in his office. He gave her a promotion to a private-secretary and is now paying for her business course. Keep up the good work, Bonnie! Can anyone keep Dick Hennier away from a basketball? Dick, one of our best players last year, is now on the varsity team at Spring Hill College at Mobile, Alabama. Congratulations to Dixie Doll who came in second out of 1200 entered in the speech contest at K-State. Paul W. Garrison, '60 spent the Thanksgiving holidays with his family in Overland Park. lie is a freshman at St. Louis U. A word of advice he gives to the seniors, is to study, study, study now before you graduate. Sharon Gunigal, a 1960 graduate, was elected secretary of the Fresjnnan Class at St. Catherine’s Hospital School of Nursing, Omaha, Nebraska. Sharon was a member of the National Honor Society.

At the con- clusion of the presentation, John Nash, team representative, gave Coach Byard a transistor radio. Coach Hill presented the Junior Varsity Awards after a brief comment on their successful season. After awarding freshman numerals, Coach Lawrence Grosdidier closed by remarking, “There they are, folks; some six feet, some not.” Other highlights of the evening included Coach Byard’s announcement of his engagement to be married; senior presen- tation of a plaque to Coach Byard; and an inspiring talk by guest speaker, Coach Schootal, from St. Benedict's. The banquet which had been prepared by the Booster's Club, was served by the Miege “lovelies.” Mike Ewing Braves Upset by Late Rush The last quarter determination and clutch shooting of the host Miege Stags provided the margin of victory for the Stag quintet over the Bonner Springs Braves 42-38. Hot shooting of Miege’s John Long and Bonner's Larry Cohan kept the game close. Bonner pulled into an early lead and maintained a four-point advantage at halftime 24-20. With one guard dropping back into Cohan's lap, the Stags held him to 8 points in the second half after he ripped the cords for 16 in the opening half. A stolen pass by Glenn Smith put the Stags into the lead to stay in the fourth quarter. John Long was high scorer for the Stags with 13 points, most of which came in the first half; he turned in a fine floor game in the second half. Ralph Parra hit 9 points and Bill Leins 8. Paul Gerling Glenn Smith leaps to give Miege the ball and a 42-38 victory over the Bonner Braves. Blue Wins Intrasquad Game The Blue squad, led by John Long’s 18 points, built up an early lead and held on to win 47-39 over the White team. The annual intrasquad game proved to be a very enlightening affair in some ways. Anyone who saw the game now knows that the Stags have a few indi- viduals who can put the ball in the hoop with regular consistency. It was also evidence that more work on de- fense is needed, but Coach Schmiedeler knows this and it will come with time. The Blue team, with John Long as captain, consisted of Long, Gary Roll- heiser, Tom Keehn, Glenn Smith, Bill Leins, Paul Gerling, and Larry Rouse. Long with juniors Gary Rollheiser and Bill Leins and sophomore Tom Keehn, were the big contributors for the Blue. With Ron Taylor as captain, the White team played a fine game, but were stymied by the press put up by the Blue squad. A good team effort was prevalent on the White team and the scoring was divided evenly. The White team was made up of Taylor, Ralph Parra, Joe Bornheimer, Mike Murray, Tom O’Connell, Gary Link, and Bernie Bialek. Two other minor statements about the preseason spectacle must be made. First of all, the teams want to thank the very fine referees. Coach Dick “quick on the whistle” Byard and Ed “where arc my glasses” Hammond, for their terrific job of getting everybody mixed up. Also, the winning coach, Mr. James Hill, must be congratulated on his team’s fine showing. Oh, yes; con- dolences are offered to Coach Lawrence Grosdidier, the losing mentor. Paul Gerling Mustangs Stopped by Sophs Miege’s sophomore basketball team opened its season on the right note by defeating Argentine’s sophomore team 41-30. The game started slowly with the first quarter score only 6-3 in favor of Miege. Scoring picked up after this, however, and Miege led at the half by a score of 20-15. Larry Rouse paced the Stags with 11 points, and Bernie Bialek had nine points. Bill Agnew Indoor Track Progressing Students around our fair school have probably seen a group of fellows run- ning around the cinder track which encircles the new football field. These boys out braving the cold are the Miege Indoor Track Team. With returning returning lettermen John Pat McGill, Mike Doyle, Mike Grady, and Felix Gotner, the Stags will participate in weekly meets starting in February. The meets will consist of the 60- yard dash, the 60-yard high and low hurdles, the 440-yard dash, the 880- yard run, and the mile relay. Also in- cluded are the shot, high jump, broad jump, and pole vault. Under the auspices of head track coach Art Zimola, these lettermen and some aspiring underclassmen, will get into shape for the spring track season. The meets, all of which will be run at the American Royal Building, include: Jan. 28—an open date; Feb. 4—vs. North- east; Feb. 11—vs. Washington; Feb. 18 —vs. Argentine; Feb. 25—vs. Turner; March 4—open meet (Rockhurst, Miege, Grandview, Raytown; March 11—vs. Olathe; March 18—open date; March 25—State Indoor Meet. Paul Gerling Undoubtedly by the time you read this column the basketball season will be well under way. I regret to say that I will make no predictions for the season other than it will definitely continue un- til we have played our last game. The big question of the month is “How many games does ‘Nose’ Gerling get per mouthpiece?” Despite all urging, Mike Ewing D.D.S. will not check in for bas- ketball this year. It seems that our “Most Improved” feels that he must devote more time to his scholastic pastimes which he finds sometimes infringe on his vigorous social schedule. The second annual table tennis tourney was regretfully cancelled due to lack of attendance. It has been suggested that if the tourney were open to the faculty, perhaps enthusiasm would be generated. Ping pong can be a dangerous game. On the other hand maybe a checkers tournament would be more advisable. I promised an interview with ‘Nose’ Gerling, but it seems that he is so exhausted from our first game that he is speechless. Tough, fans. Reports are out that through rigorous dieting and exercise, Ron Taylor has reached his best bas- ketball playing weight. Ron has trimmed down to a svelte 207 pounds. We’re all glad to see that Bob Hansel finally got the honor of playing the Stag in the wonderful, authentic costume. We’re with you 100%, Bobby. I wish to devote this space to listing my staff of advisors. Athletic Advisor— M. D. Ewing, D.D.S. Production Manager—P. J. Ger- ling (61). Personal Advisor—M. D. Grebo- wiec (61?).

The Miegian Staff The woodworking class shows growing enthusiasm as the boys work to meet the semester deadline on their projects. 120 Senior Wins Honors in Research Top honors in the 1961 Westinghouse Science Talent Search were awarded to senior Joanne Holtz- man for her project on Penicillin Resistance. Joanne is one of three students in Kansas who ranked in the top 10 per cent of those who completed entries for the contest. An honors list of ranking students is dis- tributed to all major universities and colleges in the United States. From this list of 399 honor awards, 40 will be chosen as winners of a trip to Washington and among these $34,250 in scholarships and awards will be distributed. Joanne began her work as a junior at Kansas University Medical Center when she was a repre- sentative of Miege in the Saturday program of semi- nars sponsored by the Kaw Valley Heart Association. This year, having completed a research project, she, along with John Raydo, submitted entries to the Westinghouse Talent Search. These entries consisted of an objective test taken at the school in December and a personal evaluation filled out by the principal of the school and by the students’ science teacher. Finally, there was the written project report of at least 1,000 words. The Westinghouse Science Talent Search was the pioneering endeavor to discover at the senior high school year level those who have the potentialities to become the research scientists of the future. mieGinn No. 5 Bishop Miege High February, 1961 Joanne Holtzman is always at home when there’s research to be done, and a microscope and slides at hand. Stags Give Concert Groups and Soloists Add Variety Epiphany Motif Carried Through On the evening of January 5, the Music Department, under the direction of Sister Marie Therese, presented its annual choral pro- gram in the school cafeteria. Participants were the freshmen and sophomore girls, the Mixed Choir and freshmen boys, the jun- ior and senior girls, and the girls’ ensemble. Soloists were vocalists Deanna White and Barbara Schoeneberger; mirimba player, Mary Kay Hippman; and pianist, Joanne Holtzman. Mike Venne- man was the narrator and Judy Meyers and Joanne Holtzman were piano accompanists. The program was in keeping with the theme of the Epiphany, and the selections carried out this motif throughout. The narration began with the Annunciation and the songs ranged from the “Mag- nificat” to Handel’s “Come Unto Him.” Susan Roche Kansas Centennial 1861-1961 KANSAS—wheat grower of the nation State of sprawling cities and small towns, Kansas City, Osawatomie, Wichita, Arcadia, Exploring ground for Lewis and Clark, Hunting ground for our red-skinned brothers.

A native Stag Debaters Win Again With their usual confidence and competence, John Wheeler and Dan Furst, experienced debaters, entered the double A tournament at Lawrence Senior High School on January 9-10 and brought back the 18-inch second place trophy as a crowning laurel for their hard work. This is the second win for John who, with colleague Rich Mc- Gill, captured the second place trophy at Fredonia in December. The trophies will be placed in the case at the front entrance of the school, and the boys’ names will be engraved on the trophy facades. Also current on the debaters’ schedule was the Regional Tour- nament on January 20 and 21 at Wyandotte. John Wheeler, Dan Furst, and Rich McGill represent- ed the negative side, with Jed Kee and Don Bollard holding the af- firmative side. Debaters will close the success- ful season with the Intramurals at Miege. 121 Editorials Are You an Ostrich? Do you bury your head in the sand when oppor- tunity knocks? Do past failures cause you to lose hope and give up trying? In the aftermath of broken New Year’s resolutions it's hard not to be discouraged and drift back into the old routine. The only thing to do is to pick up the pieces and start building with renewed confidence which entails a good thorough overhaul of your outlook on life. This is important, you know, because it is reflected in your attitudes toward everyone around you. A cheerful, friendly person stands out because there are so few. With most of us it takes something real and tangible to make us happy. But this shouldn’t be so. Happiness is a state of mind which comes from contentment with life, with ourselves, and with those around us. Count your blessings and consider how much more fortunate you are than a lot of people and you’ll be ashamed to have ever allowed yourself the luxury of discon- tent. If you have the proper outlook, a smile should be the rule and not the exception. Do you know the best way to counteract selfishness, the most generous thing you can do is to make someone else happy— brighten someone’s day with a smile that tells them life can’t be as bad as they think if someone else is so happy just to be living. It takes just a little more effort to turn the cor- ners of your mouth up instead of down and you’d be surprised at the dividends you receive. For happiness is contagious, and you’ll find it bouncing right back to you from the faces of all the people you come in contact with. Carolyn Cody Spunk or Spirit? At the beginning of a new semester, most stu- dents resolve to concentrate more on their studies and raise their grades—at least for the first week or so. But something hardly anyone bothers to renew at this time is school spirit. By the end of semester exams, the general feel- ing is one of laxity toward the school. Minor regu- lations are often met with nonchalant disregard. The prevailing attitude seems to be: “So I break a few rules! So what? Gotta have a little fun around here.” Students don’t stop to think that their school is judged by the actions of individuals. That’s why they must always be careful when wearing jackets, uniforms, or any other insignia by which others rec- ognize them as students at Miege. Having true spirit will always incite them to be sure their actions are above reproach. For school spirit does not merely mean cheering for the various teams. It means going to the games and conducting oneself properly while there. It means respecting and obeying teachers and abiding by school rules. It means speaking well of the school even when some regulation or incident meets with popular disfavor. Now is a good time for all students to renew their spirit of Miege. It’s a whole new semester start- ing now. Begin and end it well. Mary Kay Pyle Jim Boydston No losses yet, eh? Have you seen our new player from Texas?

Richard Poorman Fr. James Trepanier Holy Cross Fathers Guide Miege Retreat January 16-19 was a time of retreat for the Stags, a chance to look over the past year and evalu- ate spiritual growth. It was also a chance to look at the future and to plan for the coming year. Father James Trepanier and Father Richard Poorman, Holy Cross Fathers from Notre Dame, were the retreat masters. The junior and senior girls and the freshmen and sophomore boys had Father Trepanier. The junior and senior boys, and the fresh- men and sophomore girls had Father Poorman. The retreat for the boys was held January 16-17, while the retreat for the girls was held January 18-19. Martha Ludwig Orators Prepare for Meet Juniors and seniors are competing for eligibility in the annual Arch- diocesan CYO Oratorical Contest to be held Sunday, March 5. The topic for the contest is “Responsi- bility,” based on the Bishop’s state- ment of last November. The win- ner of the contest will be entered in the State meet to be held at Wichita, Kansas, Sunday, March 26. The winner of that contest will be the representative for the State of Kansas in the National Contest to be held Monday, April 3, in Washington, D. C.

Patriotic Stags watched and listened when the president-elect drove to the Capi- tol building, when Robert Frost delivered his poem of dedication, as Archbishops and ministers in- voked blessings and gave speeches, as Marian Anderson sang of pa- triotism, and finally when Presi- dent John F. Kennedy took the oath of office and gave his In- augural address to the nation and to the world. Following this, at about 12:30, Stags resumed their regular routine. Secretaries Attend Chapter Anxious for first hand data on the life of a legal secretary. Miss Murphy and ten senior girls are attending the Johnson County Chapter of Legal Secretaries, be- ginning January 31 and lasting for eight weeks. The meetings are from 7 to 9 every Tuesday eve- ning. Seniors attending the sessions are: Mary Grabenhorst, Brenda Billings, Mary Catherine David- son, Doris Finholm, Pat Kirby, Janet Leins, Linda Weber, Ber- nardine Wambolt, Marilyn Hess, and Judy Yancey. There will be a variety of speak- ers and activities, as lawyers to explain legal terminology, lessons on the procedures involved in fill- ing out wills, arrangements for adoptions, and instructions on court reporting. A representative from Bell Telephone will show a film on “Manners in the Office.” Contest Attracts Art Classes Miege artists in every stage of their development from the bud- ding potential to the blooming genius, arc working determinedly on possible entries for the Scholas- tic Art Contest to open on Feb- ruary 7 at Emery Bird Thayer. They are wielding their artistic powers over rubber stamp designs, water color drawings, pastel pic- tures, pencil sketches and ceramic figures. Sister Stephen’s art classes are out to win! 123 A Camera Reminisces Hi! My name is Igor. Recently I had the privilege of seeing in per- son each and every Miege senior. I am presently residing at Louis Garcia’s Studio on the Plaza as his Chief Camera. He and his wife treat me quite agreeably so I do my best for them. But before I get carried away, let me tell you about those people I mentioned earlier. One day before I started work, I heard Mr. and Mrs. Garcia discuss- ing them. It seems that this year the seniors from Stagland had decided they didn’t want cap and gown pictures like their predecessors of count- less former years have had. For this reason I got to see the young men decked out in dress suits and the young ladies wearing white drapes. I must say it was a delightful change. Although they were a complaisant group of boys and girls, I was very hurt because of the way they acted toward me. Of course, each person was different; but they all had one thing in common—they disliked me, or at least they gave me that impression. I can’t imagine why. After all, I just make a perfect likeness of them and of this I am proud! But for some reason I detected sighs of relief when these people were told, “Re- member, we’ll touch the pictures up for you!” If it had been I, I believe I would have developed some sort of complex by being told so often, but those Stags didn’t seem bothered—just relieved. Before long every senior had come to see me, each with his hair meticulously in place and a big smile on his face. Oh, if you only could have seen those grinning faces when the picture for that “Someone Spe- cial” was taken!! Now that senior picture taking is completed, I am very happy with these memories. You know, just a few days ago I heard two of these Stags in the front of the Studio. As they left one said to the other, “Your pictures are wonderful! May I please have one?” At that moment I was the proudest camera in the whole world. Kay Hudson Song of the Sea Maiden My home is in the sea, the deep blue sea Where the tides roll out and in. Where the gulls cry long then- mournful song Like whispering mandolins. My home is the sea, the blue-green sea That Neptune guards so well, With his furcate staff and thundering laugh He rides each crest and swell. My home is the sea, the churning sea, Possessive of its own. By the pounding surf, by the sounding surf My heart is never alone. My home is the sea, the beautiful sea, So wild, joyful and free. At the end of its quest, my heart is at rest Near the spirit of the sounding sea. Barbara Schoeneberger Schwab Staff Representative At Informal Press Conference Senior Jack Schwab represented the Miegian staff at an informal press conference with John Nel- son, Pulitzer Prize winner and re- porter for the Atlanta Constitu- tion, at the Town House Hotel, January 12. One representative from each high school in the area was invited by the Kiwanis Club to participate in the conference. Mr. Nelson, one of tire Ten Out- standing Young Men honored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, won the Pulitzer Prize for his series of articles on the treatment of the mentally ill in the state of Georgia. At the age of 23, he wrote a series of articles that prompted forty-four indictments for gambling. Following the luncheon, Mr. Nelson held a press conference and gave the school representa- tives an opportunity' to ask ques- Fanfare for Frosty's Frolics There were frolics fantastic at Miege’s Christmas Carnival which was sponsored by the Student Council and held in the Miege cafeteria December 26. Each club sponsored a booth, and club presi- dents arrived at the school early Monday morning, laden with ma- terials in preparation for the event. About 7:30 that evening, the cafeteria began to buzz with ac- tivity. The barking of the collie puppy raffled off by the Future Teachers’, and won by Larry Ryan, was surpassed only by the barking of Ted Dickey, auctioneer par ex- cellence, as he auctioned off twenty seniors who were “picked volunteers” of the Mathematics Club. (Rumor has it that these seniors were very busy washing cars during the holidays.) “Lock up your favorite teacher, folks,” snarled the jailkeeper (real- ly a Lctterman in disguise), en- ticing Stags who were passing through the foyer. Those who were arrested could be released only by being bailed out. Pep club members whispered mysteriously about the Swami who was noted for his foresight into the future. Stags were seen walking to music in hopes of winning a cake or posing for pictures which were taken by members of the Pho- tography Club. Other activities ranged from bingo games and games of chance to fish ponds. The proceeds from the carnival helped to pay for the Christmas baskets given to the poor families. This event was one of the highlights of the Christmas season. Joanne Iloltzman tions. His conference dealt with his early days in journalism and the discussion concerned news- paper work and the broad field of journalistic writing. 124 Incidentally by Lynda Ackman Miege hated to lose Lanny Hoy, Paul Sager, and Barbara Schoene- berger, but we know they’ll be as well liked as they were here. The newly initiated letternien seemed to have had trouble keep- ing their makeup on. Post New Year’s resolutions: (1) Follow the directions on the mayonnaise jar: KEEP COOL BUT DON’T FREEZE. (2) Always drink metrecal after eating candy. At the mixer after the Hogan game, the bruised Stags asked: “What kind of floor wax was that?” Next year we plan to hire a forest ranger for the Christmas carnival; rumor has it that three freshmen got lost in the recreation room woods. The senior girls seem to have a knack for falling off cars. Wc have had many letters from our readers requesting the sale of leopard skin vests which were ad- vertised in “Dickey’s Fall Casuals.” We are happy to say that they will be coming out in the next few days. Stag Salute goes to Paul Gerling who has been in the hospital. Hurry and get well, Paul, the Miegian staff can’t get along with- out you. Exchange Column by Pat Adams A few thoughts from the stu- dents of LORETTO ACAMEMY following their retreat: Youth to- day want the privileges of adult- hood, but not its responsibilities. Have the courage and strength not to follow the crowd. The students of URSULINE ACADEMY, our sister school in Paola, had two very interesting speakers visit them. The speakers disclosed some of the techniques that the Reds use. “If Com- munists have their way, this coun- try will have only two or three more presidential elections, for the Communists plan to be in power by 1973.” According to one of the speak- ers the decay of America from within will bring about her col- lapse just as nineteen out of twen- ty-0115 other civilizations have fall- en because of a decline from within. Four “isms” were common in each of these nineteen civilizations —atheism, alcoholism, socialism, and materialism. Moreover, each of the nineteen followed the same sequence of decay. They went from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great cour- age, from great courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from self- ishness to complacency, from com- placency to apathy, from apathy to dependence and from depend- ence back into bondage. The students were also told that there were 30,000 recognized Com- munists in the United States to- day, three of whom have Paola addresses. When asked what students could do about the Communist threat, he replied, “Be concerned, pray, write letters to officials who can do something about it, and study all you can about the techniques the Communists are using in the U. S. to infiltrate the press, industry, education, and government. RE- MEMBER, YOUR JUDGMENT IS ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR KNOWLEDGE. Stag lines by Elaine Hunter The Miege Library Club will host between 150 and 200 students at the April 8 meeting of the Stu- dent Library Assistants from the North-Eastern District which ex- tends from Topeka to south of Kansas City. At the meeting of last year, three of the four offices open were taken by Miegians. Some of the schools having rep- resentatives at the meeting will be Topeka, Shawnee-Mission North and Shawnee-Mission East. Karen Smith, a member of the Future Teachers of America Club demonstrated the new Schott method of teaching arithmetic at a recent meeting. This method employs the abacus, an Oriental counting device, in teaching math. Karen had previously interviewed Sister Mildred, who teaches second grade at Holy Rosary, and who has found the new method very successful. Frosty’s Frolics b rouglit in enough funds for the Home Ec Club to purchase a new alb for Mass in the chapel. In view of the Kansas Centen- nial, the Library Club is planning a centennial display of books and scenes depicting famous incidents in Kansas history. The club is also studying the processing of library books. New members of the Letter- men’s Club received their letters after initiation January 17. 125 Theodore's Theories by Ted Dickey From the looks and sounds of the male group of Miege, it ap- pears that some sort of student exchange program is advocated. This bartering of students would he done between Miege and Pius X. I think that the girls who brought some female visitors from Pius X to Miege previous to the basket- ball clash of the two schools might have thrown their own cause a few curves. That long drive kinda cuts up the old gas money, though. Better stick to your own “neck of the woods,” fellas. Has everyone noticed the condition of poor Katherine Hudson? You remember Katherine? She was the young lady who, at the Frosty’s Frolics Car- nival, was bid for and bought by a group of fellows from Never-Never Land. Some time after the auction Katherine turned up lame. Could the cause have been that vicious group from St. Benedict’s or was it that three hours that she was to devote to her buyer? In conclusion, I would like to caution all Miege golfers against the con man of the links—Coach Grosdidier. First of all he invited two junior type “gullibles” into a round of “Friendly” golf. Upon reaching the course, he inveigled them into a small bet. His opening statement was, “I’m no good. I only play once a month.” It was a real shame the way he soft soaped a couple of unsuspecting boys into losing their savings. Teachers’ salaries must be at an all- time low.

Many of those who swooped upon Miege’s hall of ivy to wish their teach- ers and lowerclassmen well, have returned to the “laurels of higher education.” Some who were seen around our school are: Mike Hope, Johnny Gran- quist.

Congratulations to Mary Ellen Dueber who seems to have Kansas City Business College by the tail. She was elected president of the Pep Club, and is parliamentarian for student council. We hear that our “Man-about-the-world,” Walter Clark is presently attending Kansas City Junior Col- lege. All our Alumni, however, are not only studying, but some are also serving their country as members of the Armed Forces. It is reported that Jim Sheehan, class of ’59 has been with the Navy most of the time since his graduation; and Paul Lavery, also of ’59, is on Paris Island in training with the Marines. Nick Corrado 126 Micgc players rally round to take the hall away from a grappling opponent in the game with Hayden. Hayden Stomps Over Stags The Stags did not fare so well in their second outing of the basketball season. After edging by the strong Bonner Braves, the Miege five found the going very tough against the bigger Hayden Wild- cats. The undefeated Wildcats ran by the Stags 80-40. The Stags played a very good first half against the Wildcats and were only back by five as the half ended with the Miege loopsters down 27-22. The Stags had more field goals but were outscored from the line in the surprising first half. The second half opened with a bang as Hayden hit for four straight baskets and proceeded to stomp the Stags with their 33-point third quarter. The Stags were held to a meager 18 points in the final half. Ralph Parra led the Stags with 13 points even though he missed 11 free throws. Bonner Springs The Miege B-team won its opening game of the season by defeating the Bonner Springs B-team 43-34. Bill Leins led the Stag scorers with 10 points in the two quarters he played. S-M North The Miege sophomore team won its second straight game of the season by downing Shawnee- Mission North 47-35. The game was close until the last quarter when the Stags blew the game wide open. Bill Younger scored 11 points followed by Mike Murray with 10. Pem Day Wins As Miege Bows Early Pembroke-Country Day, led by Don Early’s 24 points, rolled to a 66-30 victory over the Bishop Miege Stags. It was the Stags’ third loss against two victories. Pern-Day, ranked fourth in the area, used height and firepower to overpower the Stags. Although Miege was able to shoot as many shots as Pern-Day, they sank only eight percent in the first half. Miege ended up with an eighteen percent average from the field to Pern-Day’s fifty percent average. Mike Murray led the Stags, scoring 13 points. Tremendous credit must be giv- en to the Stags for their great ef- fort. Although down 39-11 at the half, the Stags, led by John Long and Gary Rollheiser, continued to keep the defensive pressure on Pern-Day. Despite the loss the Stag players and Pep Club showed tremendous spirit throughout the entire game. Paseo Miege basketball hopes were dimmed by the losing of the final game of 1960 to Paseo 52-47. The Stags who were once down by fourteen points came back be- hind the shooting of Ralph Parra, who collected 23 points, to pull within five. The Stags finished their first three games with a 1-2 record, but the hopes are that, un- der the guidance of Coach John Schmiedeler, the Stags will re- bound in their remaining games, many of which are with very stiff competitors. St. Pius X In a game played at St. Pius X, the Stags, with a final burst in the last three minutes, pulled out a 50-44 victory. Led by sophomore whiz Mike Murray’s 19 points, the Stags were never behind by more than a few points at any time. A fine re- bounding job was turned in by Bill Leins and Glenn Smith, who have to take up the slack left by the absence of Ralph Parra. John Long contributed a fine floor game and kept the Pius X zone honest by hitting a few long jumpers. Freshman Record Good The Stags’ frosh team scored six victories in their total games played up to the present. Two separate victories were scored over St. Joseph’s, two over Rockhurst, and one each over Ward and Lillis. The six victories were scored out of an approximate 13-game total. John Wisner 127 Jeff's Jargon Ron Taylor, surprisingly and without apparent provocation has terminated his competitive B-ball playing. The decision by Ron has taken his teammates quite by surprise and many interesting theories have been submitted as to the reasons behind Ron’s mysterious resignation. Some of the more plausible ones I have selected for publication. (1) He was subject to outside pres- sures — demands on his time, grades, etc. (2) He will now devote his time to spring sports-ping pong, bad- minton, skiing, chess, miniature golf. (3) lie plans to return next year and wants to remain eligible. (4) He disagreed with Coach over training rules and diet. (5) Harlan Wheeler demanded return of his uniform. Records are dropping like flies during the current season; some of the latest: (1) Johnny Long, through barely half a season, has dribbled the ball 1,765,324.3375 time s, breaking Bones Robert's old record of 13%. (2) Gary Rollheiser has averaged 5.3 fouls per game to break old record set by Bones Rollert. (.3 fouls were not detected by officials.) (3) “Nose” Gerling has put in his 22nd hour of bench sitting, breaking old mark set by Bones Robert. (4) Kathy Drozda has asked for equal space in this publication for the 34th time, breaking old record set by Bones Robert. (The 33rd was the charm for Bonesy—refer to the April issue, 1960.) Chins up, Kathy; maybe you should go over my head; retractions are not my de- partment! Now, for the first time, here is my special question and answer column con- cerning topics now in controversy. Q. Who is Stanley? A. Fifth amendment. Q. Why doesn’t Micge have a tennis team? A. Ask the tennis coach. Q. What prompts you to write this col- umn. A. I’ve been sick. Q. Why do you give Paul J. Gerling the anomalous cognomen of “Nose”? A. Remove your facial appendage from my ear, please. Q. What do you think of the cheerlead- ers and Pep Club? A. Next question. Q. What is Ron Taylor’s official ton- nage? A. You’re standing on my foot. Q. Why did you, in a recent column, refer to K. D. as aggressive? A. Unrestrained would be better, may- be??? Q. Who is your pick for most valuable B-ball player? A. Paul Pagacz for being in such high spirits. Q. Why do you make such frequent use of double-meaning statements? A. Just lucky, I guess. Q. Do you think your column is under- stood by the majority of your read- ers? A. Up to a certain extent, yes and no. Q. Are there any things you would like to see changed here at Micge? A. My grades, locker number, and golf scores. If any complaints are to be registered after perusal of this unexpurgated ver- sion, refer them to my grievance com- mittee headed by formidable Lynda Ackman. Test Dates Announced Saturday morning, February 18, marks the date for the administration of the SR A High School Placement Test which will be given to all eighth grade students who plan to attend Bishop Micge High, Look Before You Leap The weekly youth center dance which was going to be tomorrow night had me in an uproar. Frantically I was trying to improve my hair, face, and everything else I could find wrong by the time of the dance. Finally I managed to re- member I had better get to bed for some much needed beauty sleep. I awoke the next morning feeling quite refreshed and thought that the dance wouldn’t be so bad after all. Finally it was time to go and being late already, I stood at the front door, nervously watching and impatiently wait- ing for my boyfriend Ron to pick me up. I knew he had promised to pick up the rest of the gang first, but I still couldn’t understand why he’d be so late. After what seemed like hours, I saw a flash of headlights in our driveway. “At last,” I said to myself and ran out of the house and up to the car. I opened the car door quickly and slipped in next to the driver who didn’t move an inch. I wondered why Ron would let a stranger drive his car, and I turned to ask him. Suddenly it struck me that the faces in the back seat were just as strange to me as the one that I was sit- ting next to. “Where’s Ron?” I asked in bewilder- ment. “We wouldn’t know that, dear,” the boy in the front seat replied cooly, “we just pulled into your driveway to turn around!” Sheri Hainan (freshman) Mr. Moritz has announced. Also, the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test will be given to juniors who have have signed up for it, on March 7. After a hard fought game on the roundball court, Iloganitcs and Stags enjoy the remainder of the evening at a mixer sponsored by Stag debaters. 128 THe mieGinn No. 6 Bishop Miege High March, 1961 Courtesy Campaign Sponsored by S.C. Hillaire Belloc once wrote, “the grace of God is in courtesy.” These few words could be used to de- scribe the latest project of the Stu- dent Council, the Courtesy Con- test. Held annually during the month of February or March, the purpose of this contest is to make the stu- dent body more aware of the necessity of courtesy at home and school. This year the week set aside is February 27 through March 3. Dur- ing this interval speeches were given by the homeroom represen- tatives, and talks were presented over the public address system by different students. The two main speeches given were by Nick Cor- rado, who gave the kick-off talk, and Daniel Atencio, our foreign exchange from Panama, who re- lated his views on the courtesy that he has noticed at Miege and the United States in general. The committee this year was composed of Bob Hansel, Dave Proffitt, Rusty Scholtes, Jo Magerl, Tom Walsh, Carroll McAvoy, Dan- iel Atencio, Dave Fortin, and Doug Dragert. Bob Hansel Miss Audrey Pankratz speaks on self- improvement to YCS members from Miege and Ward High Schools. Kay Hudson, president of YCS, solemnly pon- ders the ideas presented. Youth Leader Urges Selfless Dedication A national representative of YCS, Audrey Pankratz, spoke to a joint meeting of the Ward and Miege YCS on February 22. Miss Pankratz told the enthusiastic gath- ering that it was their responsibil- ity to act as leaders in getting things done for tbe good of their school and their country. She out- lined and explained the meaning and general purpose of the YCS Senior Selected by National Merit Exam Following the recording of his scores in the National Merit Scho- lastic Aptitude Test last December 3, senior Bob Koetting was selected a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship Examination. This honor places Bob in the top one- half of one per cent of all high school seniors across the country. It also renders Bob eligible for substantial scholarship awards on the basis of additional information concerning his educational and vo- cational goals which he supplied. John Stalnaker, president of the National Merit Program, reminded Bob, as one of the Finalists, in a letter accompanying his Certifi- cate, that the future depends upon the educated and that by his high scholastic attainment, he has al- ready made progressive steps in the right direction. movement, which is to create lead- ers, and graphically showed the members how they could better themselves and their community. An informative period of discussion followed the talk. Previous to this meeting, Miss Pankratz had spent a week at Miege talking over the principles of YCS Observe Catholic Book Week During Catholic Book Week, February 19-25, daily 15-minute “broadcasts” of readings over the P.A. system were given by members of the Library Club. Judy Arnold read from Phyllis McGinnely’s The Snake Has All the Lines; Mary Jo Walker— Louis De Wold’s Lay Siege to Heaven; Larry Alley —Jim Bishop’s Some of My Very Best; and Dave Fortin—John F. Kennedy’s Profiles in Courage. The broadening of student interest, an increase in literary knowledge, and the creation of more en- thusiastic ideas concerning literature by the student body are the principal underlying goals of Catholic Book Week. The theme and Modus Operandi this year is “Unity in Faith Through Reading.” Jack Schwab (senior) 129 itoricL Easter Forever? Lent in its last days seems to drag on endlessly. Penitents, zealous on Ash Wednesday, now tend to forget their promises of sacrifice and positive action. Of course, daily Mass or giving up sweets might have turned into habits—but done grudgingly, not lov- ingly. If we’re like this, then we do not have the true spirit of the Lenten season. Often, at the beginning, we make sacrifices, say a daily rosary, or go to serv- ices just because it’s a change from the usual routine or seems rather noble and heroic. But Lent is much, much more. This penitential season should overflow into Easter. With the Resur- rection of Christ, our souls should also rise above the petty cares of the every-day world. Lent, well- spent, is the preparation. Each day should be an Easter Sunday as we build up our eternal storehouse of grace and merit. Our good deeds should carry over, making the whole of life a perpetual Easter time. Mary Kay Pyle Poll Takers and American Fitness Doctors and poll-takers seem to have been travel- ing their pens more than is wonted during the past weeks. Articles spread over page after page have thrust out important points on two parallel ideas: heart disease and physical fitness. We Americans, so accustomed to taking first in all competitions, are apt to rise up in indignation upon learning that a 13-year-old British girl’s strength is equal to that of a 13-year-old American boy’s. “Hmm,” we say, “what girl wants to be muscle- bound?” This is a typical reaction; but it is a prej- udiced one. The fact is that the majority of Ameri- can youth is comparatively weak. To refute such a statement, some may turn to the athletic records set by this country's Olympic teams. Are these teams made up of ordinary youngsters, though? No, of course they’re not; in order to place on an Olympic team, a youth must be far above the national aver- age. If this were not so, the gates of Olympus would be continually converged upon. Thus, it remains as a general fact that we are not as physically fit as we should be. Why is this? Fingers can first be pointed at the schools. Well-balanced athletic programs are few and far between, for attention is focused not on the individual student, but on the school teams, at whose tournaments the vast numbers of students are merely spectators. Those who have studied abroad have returned to tell of mountain-climbing excursions and the like. Not that mountains are the answer, but no girl can enhance her health to any great degree by simply playing shuffleboard during Phys. Ed. class. Jay Walsh Remember ... Try to look casual. During the course of a normal school day, cer- tain undeniable tensions are built up. Without an outlet, these perturbations will be either supressed or erupted. If emotions are repeatedly and stoically hid, ulcers will often result. On the opposite side, allowing these self-same emotions to erupt is certainly not the way to win friends and influence people. Emotional fatigue can best be overcome by physical fatigue. Once the physical exertion of exercise has been reached, rest will be twice as welcome and twice as effective. It is not true that exercise is damaging to the heart. In fact, the contrary is nearly a professed faith. One theory states that when fat deposits in the coronary arteries eliminate the vital blood supply of the heart, this organ is capable of making new arteries to carry on its work. It is believed that exer- cise, and not inactivity, helps in making this possible. Physical fitness has been described as the en- durance needed to withstand a normal day’s activities and to have enough left over to contend with un- anticipated emergencies. And so, a nation is as strong as its people; and a heart is as strong as its potential.

Alumnae in Reception— Profession Ceremony On January 21, nine postulants received the Ursuline habit and eight novices pronounced their vows in ceremonies at the Mother- house in Paola, Kansas. Two of our alumni, Pat Venneman '60 and Ida May Luebert ’58, participated in the ceremony. Pat, now Sister Mary Bernard, received her habit, and Ida May, Sister Kathleen, pro- fessed her vows for three years. The Mass and the entire cere- mony was narrated by Monsignor Henry Gardner while Father Rob- ert Aiduk and Father Poole tape- recorded and took pictures for fu- ture televising. Beware ... the Ides of March! Quarter Tests Science Club Studies Vary The National Science Founda- tion extended to Bishop Miege the privilege of having Doctor Ada Swineford, a geologist from the State of Kansas Geological Survey, talk with the members of the Sci- ence Club and the Earth Science classes, on Friday, February 10. Dr. Swineford gave an informative and interesting lecture and showed slides and pictures of the geologi- cal make-up of Kansas. This year the Science Club had several topics of study. Some of the topics have been: infinity, pe- troleum, and geology. The club made a field trip to the Phillips Petroleum Refinery in Fairfax, Kansas. They were taken on a tour of the plant with explanations by John Poison, L. V. “Doc” Wat- son, and Mr. J. G. Hippman. J. W. Hippman The ceremony began with a pro- cession, led by Archbishop Hun- kcler of Kansas City, followed by the priests and the professed sis- ters. The postulants, dressed as brides of Christ, and the novices presented themselves to the Arch- bishop. At the Communion, before the uplifted Host, each novice pro- nounced her vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience for three years. When Mass was completed, the postulants left the chapel to dress in the sisters’ garb. The novices in the meantime entered the sanc- tuary and received the black veil, symbolic of the professed sister. The newly attired postulants re- turned to the chapel to receive the white veil of the novice and their religious name. These new novices will spend two years in training before they will receive the black veil. Art Clubs Ponder Modern Works at Nelson Exhibition “The Logic of Modem Art” is the title of an exhibition now showing at the Nelson Gallery tracing the evolution of modern painting from Cezanne to 1960. On the fifth of February members of both the Art Club and Alpha Lambda, accompanied by Sister Stephen and Sister Grace took a trip to the Gallery to see the ex- hibit. One painting in particular cap- tured the imagination, criticism, and smiles of all. The title was Woman IV, and it was a painting depicting the domineering modern woman of the twentieth century. Brilliant yellows, oranges, and blues splashed bravely on a 59x46- inch canvas brought skepticism into the minds of many a viewer. Could this mass of paint splashings be a masterpiece fit for a gallery of art? For the answer to this ques- tion let us go back into the history of what is now called modern art. The first glimpse of this came with a movement called Fauvism. Fauves is the French word for bear, and it was called this be- cause of the completely new con- cept of showing a scene with astonishing freedom of color. Expressionism developed later with the masterful brushes of Van Gogh, Kirchner, and Ileckel. While Expressionism showed the inner feelings of the painter, Cubism, which was developed by Pablo Picasso, is the complete op- posite. It shows the geometrical design of a thing with an emotion, but merely the form of an object. All these led up to our modern day style of painting a feeling more than just an object. Knowing this may help one to understand the modern artist’s concept of a sub- ject. Seniors have ordered their grad- uation announcements from Jos- ten’s of Owatonna, Minnesota. This year the Bishop Miege coat-of-arms in blue and gold will be the em- blem on.the front of the cards. 131 c°nSom To Great Heights in the Family Tree As you walk down the hall, did you ever stop to think that some of the students whom you had brushed elbows with might be very im- portant people? It’s amazing the number of students at Miege that are related to celebrities or people renowned in the service of our country. And what’s more, most of these students are freshmen. Susan Newbanks is related to the Father of Our Country, George Washington. Nancy McAvoy is a relative of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Kathy Redman has former President James Buchanan in her family tree, and Patty Stiles is related to Lord Balti- more. Mary O’Rourke is a fifth cousin of A1 Smith, formerly the only Catholic nominated for president, and Kathy McDaniel’s great-great- uncle is Henry Ford, without whose help there would be no traffic jams. Carolyn Philips is related to both Warren G. Harding and Tennessee Ernie Ford. Loretta Jones is a 43rd cousin of Woodrow Wilson and Kathy Reynolds is a cousin of John L. Lewis. Ray Thebo is related to Saint Nicholas and Tom Dwyer to Father Dan Lord. Nancy Owen’s mother’s uncle is President Kennedy’s second cousin. John Vanneman is related to Floyd Gibson, the Lieutenant Gov- ernor of Missouri, and Ed Hammond to Governor Shriver of Texas. All the freshmen have one relative in common! Can you guess who? They are all descendants of Adam and Eve. Martha Ludwig To the Faculty . . . I have a complaint! Due to the students of Miege, I am neurotic, discontented, psychotic, addled, and I’m suffering from a case of in- somnia. Oh, you want my name? I’m Willy Worm—I’m a book worm. My palatial estate is the library where 1 inhabit certain comfortable old volumes which suit my fancy. Lately I’ve been given no peace at all. No matter where I try to conceal myself, someone—they’re called Miege juniors and seniors, I be- lieve—disturbs me. I heard that the reason behind all this is that assign- ments, called term papers or something, have been given to these people. What a group! Glum expressions and blood-shot eyes describe the ma- jority. They are such an energetic group they can’t bring themselves to stop delving through and pondering over books until the wee hours of the morn. Oh what all this is doing to my little system! I’ve heard, though, that they weren’t always like this. Cheery faces, happy voices, and a carefree manner used to characterize them. But no more. Just yesterday I found out that term papers are responsible for all this miserv and discontent. Never before have topics been so varied or so much information needed. No matter what shelf I attempt to occupy—math, religion, history, travel, even references—someone finds need for those books. And that’s my complaint! You see, term papers are not making me or the students any happier. Obviously, they’re responsible for all my problems. I suggest you remedy this situation immediately by cancelling term paper assignments or else I’ll—NO, Don’t shut the book! I . . . O-o-o-o-h. 132 Kay Hudson Tuesday, February 14, the com- bined choirs of the Colleges of Mount St. Scholastica and St. Bene- dict visited Miege and sang, among other selections, “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean,” “Black Is the Color of My True Love’s Hair,” “Tiger, Tiger,” and “How Much Wood Would a Woodchuck Chuck?” Juniors and seniors at- tended the concert which was giv- en in the cafeteria, while freshmen and sophomores listened over the P.A. system. Prom preparations are in full swing as Sister Georgetta and the juniors forge ahead for the big day. This year was simply not for cheerleaders. Almost every game saw a grimace on the face of one of the leaders. We had cute Caro- lyn’s sore feet, joyful Jeanne’s en- casted knee, prancing Pat’s- hurt back, arching Andy’s breaking in of a new jump, and nervous Nancy trying out her splits, all with the same effect: limping leapers. Only Lil’ Lynn escaped unscathed. To her, congratulations! To help out for the Kickoff Din- ner for the Miege building pro- gram, which was held at the St. Agnes gym, February 16, the sen- ior girls checked the hats of the gentlemen attending while the junior and senior boys parked the cars. Under the auspices of the Very Reverend Monsignor Henry Gard- ner, superintendent of schools in the Archdiocese, an Art Workshop was conducted at Miege on Feb- ruary 11 by Sister Mary Stephen, O.S.U., Sister Egberta, O.S.B., and Sister Mary Ernest, S.C.L. Spon- sored by St. Agnes Grade School, the workshop emphasized aca- demic assignments. Both lay and religious teachers attended from 9 to 2:30 o’clock. A list of important people had their birthdays in February: Abra- ham Lincoln, George Washington, St. Valentine, Mary Jo and Tom Walsh, Penny Ronnau, and Mike Doyle. The seniors have been trying desperately to fail this year to have the benefits of the new gym and classrooms, but to no avail. As the Pep Club is going to cheer for track meets this year, we would appreciate some sugges- tions for yells. Here are some al- ready mentioned: “Throw that discus, farther, far- ther.” “Go, go, where, where we want a shotput over there.” “Around the track, Jack, around the track.” “Stab ’em with the javelin hard- er, harder.” “Jump, John, jump.” “Pole vault, pole vault, pole vault boys, you make the pole vaults, we’ll make the noise.” Boys, be on the lookout: The W.P.A. is just around the corner. We are happy to say that John Nash and Ronnie Taylor have joined the cheerleading squad; but they are lacking one very im- portant quality: CO-ORDINA- TION. Exchange Column by Pat Adams The Explosive Generation—THE OLATHE EAGLE—Almost every- one will agree that the youth of today are a good deal different from their parents. Having to worry about the whole world at these ages and knowing that they must train themselves accordingly in order to handle vital situations is a huge job for kids of 16 and 17. These tensions bring about juvenile delinquency and mental sickness. Adults can’t imagine the booming responsibility youth of today have. Something stronger than mere adult help is needed to keep the volatile youth of today from using their tensions in the wrong way. THIS STRENGTH IS THE CHURCH. Many chances are taken by teenage drivers. They don’t seem to realize that they are endangering lives every time they take a corner on two wheels, try to steer with eyes off the road or hands off the wheel, or drive too fast. This wouldn’t be so bad if only the reckless drivers, who were responsible, were injured or killed. The trouble is that so many innocent people are maimed or killed by such childish acts. Such drivers should not be allowed to drive. They are a public menace. Remember, teenage drivers, next time you are tempted to take a chance, you have a responsibility to yourselves and to everybody else. Everybody has a right to live. You have not been officially appointed as God’s Destroying Angel. THEN DON’T ASSUME THE OFFICE. 133 Theodore's Theories All of us will long remember the night of Jan- uary 20. Yes, that was the night that the Ackman family held open house for the high school students of N.E. Johnson County. Just everyone was there. I know this will be hard to believe, but Pat Caldwell was there. Yes, the real Pat Caldwell. You remember Pat. He was that “team” we played February 3. Pat and his cohorts had just returned from Hogan High where the Hawklets “upset” the Rams. Well, believe it or not, one brave young lad went up to Pat and touched him. He immediately passed out, but that is just one of the chances you have to take when you’re climbing the ladder to success. The Decorations Committee for the prom an- nounces that they have had 730 applications for mem- bership in that committee. We can’t understand why everyone wants to join that committee. I guess that everyone just likes to decorate—that’s all. P.S.

Stags Place in Art Contest Jo Magerl, senior, and Sandy Smith, sophomore, are among the 175 gold key winners selected from 4,400 entries in the 1961 Scholastic Art Awards re- gionals. In addition, Sandy’s drawing, a pastel of a young girl, has been selected as a finalist and will go to the National Contest in New York. Seven other Miege students received honorable mentions: Peggy Bruier and Ron Yeamans for ceramics, Bernita Oelklaus and Pat Frantz for plaster masks, and Jay Walsh, Patrice Krampff, and Judy Seider for rubber stamp designs. The key awards were presented at the Crown Room at Hallmark on Friday, March 3. The gold key winners and more than 300 other entries were on display at Emery Bird Thayers during the week of February 25. Last year Miege was represented in New York with a rubber stamp design by Pat McAulay. . • Alumni News by Pam Blaschuni Best wishes for a quick recovery to Mary Beth Dowd in St. Anthony’s Hospital in Dodge City. Although she was suf- fering from strep throat and a very high temperature, she should be well enough to return to school in a few days. Pat Rubleman, a freshman at the College of St. Teresa’s, has changed her major from teaching to nursing. Bob Ferkenhoff has carried his personality and popularity from Miege to St. Benedict’s where he is President of St. Joseph’s Hall. Judy Miller, a graduate of ’60, is now employed by the Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. where she handles the ac- counts of companies like Dupont, Tuxedo, and Colfax. She plans to attend K.C.U. night school this summer or early next spring. Jerry Abeel and Mike Kahler are both attending K.C.U. Jerry is taking a business course, and Mike, who incidentally is pledging Delta Chi, is taking a general course. He plans to go into dentistry. We were all happy to welcome back two former Stags from the first graduating class at Miege. They are Janet Kenny and Peg Leary, who are both attending Mount St. Scholastica College in Atchison. Janet and Peg participated in the choral program held on February 13. Orchids to Kathy Frye, ’59 who made the Dean’s list at the College of St. Teresa for the fall semester.

Kay Hudson L34 St. Joseph Playing on their home court, the Stags displayed their power by trouncing the St. Joseph Bluestreaks 59-42. Glen Smith and Bill Leins, scoring 14 and 13 points respectively, led the Miegians. The Stags leveled their record to 4-4 while St. Joe suffered its eleventh defeat in fourteen outings. Ward Behind a second half stall, the Ward Cyclones held on to a hairline 39-34 victory over the hard-fighting Stags. Sophomore Mike Murray and junior Bill Leins provided the punch for the Stags. Despite an early lead, the Miege quintet was unable to hold on and, with numerous fouls, closed out just short of the somewhat erratic Cyclones. St. John's In a calm contest played at the St. Agnes gym, the Stags, capitalizing on an early narrow lead, brought their record to 5-5 with a 37-32 decision over St. John’s Seminary. Bill Leins led Miege with 10 counters. Bill Waris, carrying a 21- point average was held to 18 points. Rockhurst Putting up a fine effort behind equally fine school support the Stags fell short of Rockhurst 61-52. Pat Caldwell, Hawk “stuffer,” was high scorer with 27 points. The 6'6 Caldwell was ahead of Miege’s 5'8 Gary Rollheiser who tallied 14. Deadlocked at the end of the first quarter but down five at the half, the courageous Stags, led by backcourt men, John Long and Gary Roll- heiser, pulled ahead in the third frame only to be “out-stuffed” by Cald- well in the final frame. Hanking number three in Kansas City, Rockhurst was shown a fine game by the smaller Stags. Bill Leins added 10 points for Miege. St. Joseph John Long, Gary Rollheiser, and Bill Leins with 16, 12, and 12 points respectively, enabled the Stags to run up a 66.49 conquest over the hapless Blue- streaks from St. Joe. Long and Rollheiser each con- tributed 10 points to the 43-point second half, which Miege set down in the record books. The victory gave the Stags a 6-6 record. Pius X Long-range marksmanship by the Stags broke up the Pius X zone and defeated the Warriors 48-33. The Stags, led by llollheiser’s 16, Lein’s 10, and Smith’s 10, constantly poured on the pressure. The Stags in their comparatively easy victory boosted their record to 7 wins and 6 defeats. Hove Sets New Record At State Swimming Meet Sophomore Jack Hove, described by both the Kansas City Star and the Kansas City Kansan as “a brilliant swimmer,” and as “extremely noteworthy,” as well as “the best young swimmer in the State, if not the country,” now holds the State record for 100 yards, men’s free style, 51.6 seconds. He also holds T0m Kerim and Glen Smith show teamwork as they meet the 50-yard free-style record, 23.3 seconds. a Warrior in the Pins X game. Wheeler to Participate In Oratorical Contest Junior John Wheeler is the Miegian entrant in the Oratorical Contest to be held on Sunday, March 5, at St. Joseph’s Auditorium in Shawnee. He will compete with orators from several other schools using a 10-minute prepared speech entitled “The Need for Personal Responsibility.” John’s oration was selected as best by Sister Stephen from those submitted in the junior and senior English classes. Elaine Hunter Jack set new state records in both events. He scored a total of 12 points for Miege, placing it 6th in the state in swimming competi- tion among 15 schools that partici- pated. The Kansas State High School Swimming Meet was held Febru- ary 17 and 18 at YMCA in Wich- ita. About 150 boys competed. 135 Jeff Bremser P. J. “Nose” Gerling, formidable for- ward on the B-Ball team, recently un- derwent surgery at St. Joseph's Hospital. Smiling Paul was kept in good spirits by numerous visits from classmates and especially by cheery cartoons drawn for the occasion by the talented father of one of our snappy red-headed cheer- leaders. I have received numerous comments on the question-answer portion initiated in the last column. (Of course, I have received a few complaints also, but they are of a trivial nature—threats on my life, attempted bribes, etc.) Since it was received so well I will continue it this time. Q. Why do you write so much about Ron Taylor? A. There’s so much of him to write about. Q. Is it rumor or fact that Kathy Drozda was displeased with your last col- umn? A. Rumor, I hope; but I guess the truth hurts. Q. Why do you give so little mention to the Pep Club? A. It’s better for all concerned that way. Q. Do you have any comments on the track team? A. They’ve got some new uniforms, I hear. Q. How do you think the golf team will fare? A. They’ll have an excellent season despite inexperienced juniors. Tal- ented seniors will make the differ- ence. Q. Why docs Coach Schmiedclcr always wear red socks to the B-ball games? A. To keep his feet warm, I presume. Q. Do you have anything else to say on the Drozda situation. A. Not that I would care to print. I forgot to mention in my last article about the hospitalization of another of our fabulous sportsmen, Ray Nash. “Snake” had it tough at Providence with all those student nurses from Ward wait- ing on him. Is that why lie didn’t invite a certain Miss Block to visit him? Did anyone else notice the haircut re- ceived by M. D. Ewing, D.D.S. several weeks ago. He says he can run faster with his locks shorn. No wind resistance or something. It has come to my attention that Coach Lawrence Grosdidier, besides his other talents (football, basketball, player-coach, sports car enthusiast?, is also an ardent golfer. He says he’s having a little trouble with his long game, short game, and on the greens; but otherwise, he’s doing fine. For those who would like to know, here are his equipment specifications: ultra-light golf bag; 4 Patty Berg irons; 2 hand-made cracked persimmon woods; assorted balls, with and without covers; converse basketball shoes; red hat; Miege sweatshirt; churchkey. Variety of Themes Shown As Panels Share Findings A 1946 Ford selling for $5,000? Sa- tirical phenomena as characteristics of literature? Such singular facts as these have been floating through the Art Room doors these days. Lost in a maze of film pro- jectors that won’t work, picture enlargers that refuse to enlarge black and white, and voices that quake. Sister Stephen’s talented speech students are presenting their panels. Topics have ranged from a well-chosen Kansas Centennial theme (Eileen Wycherly, Mary Lu Doll, Kathy Johnson, Mary Redlinger), to the insides and outsides of cars—no doubt a certain somebody’s hobby (Jack Schwab, Judy Rose, Ken Tramposh), to the strange new South American capital—Brasilia (Karen Smith, Paul Gorham, Theresa Martin, Shirley Johnson, Judy Ladesic, Mary Sue Scardello, Susan Roche). Needless to say, the films and slides have been the focal points of the projects. Running a close second arc the maps, models, diagrams, and pictures collected by the students. At first glance, one diagram appears to be a rectangle with curving flames shoot- ing upward from its base. With a little explanation, though, we can readily see the depiction of the orderly development of the modem art movement. (Mary Koob, Karol Kempster, Jackie Roehrig, Sue Miller.) No one needs help in recognizing the Kansas flag, but it took some time for several people to realize that that in- tricate masterpiece of cardboard and scotch tape was a cathedral and not a bird. These minor difficulties, though, have detracted very little from the principal purpose of the panels; to delve into the untouched realms of something new and different—whether it be cars or cubism. Susan Roche Leadership Day Inspires Stags Sunday, February 19, a group of Stags and Stag-ettes attended “Leadership Day” at Rockhurst. As its name suggests, “Leadership Day” is a scries of talks by various priests, sisters, and lay people who remind the students who are rep- resentative of the leaders of to- morrow of their duty to the people they lead. Some of the students who attended the event expressed their opinions as follows: DIANE MARTIN: I thought Father Lakas’s speech on Spiritual Devotion was excellent! But the best of all the talks was Father Bowdern’s speech, “The Call of Christ.” He really made his con- ference most enjoyable. THERESA CHEATHAM: We ought to try something like that! If we could have something like “Leadership Day” about twice a year here, it would really give stu- dent morale a big boost. Father Bowdern’s speech was the best. I really enjoyed the whole thing. STEVE MURRAY: It was really very worthwhile. I think Father Freeman’s speech on Apologetics was the best. He was very good. I do think, though, that the ques- tion period was poor in placement. There was no definite talk before- hand that we could question. But on the whole it was really very good. I enjoyed it. JED KEE: I thought that the talks were very beneficial in help- ing us to form good ideas. I liked the talk on Particular Examination of Conscience particularly well. The talks helped impress us with the qualities of leadership in school and with the type of character we should have. It was fun.

For the final decision the vote for top boy and girl in the school was left to the faculty, who picked Carolyn Cody, senior, and Gary Little, sophomore, as the most courteous individuals. Miege can be truly proud of all those selected for their fine display of courtesy and good manners. Congratulations!!!!!! Bob Hansel Profession Panels For Upperclassmen On Career Night Junior and senior Stags had the opportunity to hear many promi- nent speakers in panel discussions on “Career Night,” Thursday, March 23. Panels were held in two sessions from 7:30 to 8:30 and from 8:30 to 9:30. Representing the legal profession were: Newell George, newly ap- pointed U. S. District Attorney for Kansas (Kennedy); Judge Riederer, Judge of Circuit Court for Juve- niles and Adoptions, Kansas City, Mo.; and Dean Frederick Lewis, Dean of the Law School, Kansas City University. Spokesmen for the medical field were: Dr. Frank O’Connell, Kan- sas City, Mo., physician; Dr. Mi- chael Furcolow, Chief of Staff of Research Department, Kansas Uni- versity Medical Center; and Dr. A. J. Atchity, Dentist in Fairway, Kan- sas. Business was covered by Mr. E. Jacobs, president of Kansas City Business College; and Mr. Ray- mond Knaach, vice-president of Kansas City Business College. Information on and insight into the field of teaching was given by Miss Pat Tobin, teacher of math and chemistry at Bishop Hogan High School; and Miss Jeanne Kostusik, teacher at St. Agnes Grade School, Kansas City, Kan- sas. Challenges and opportunities of scientific research were enumerat- ed by Mr. T. A. Strickland and Mr. William B. Mackey, both from Phillips Petroleum Co.; and Mr. J. K. Ward, Spencer Chemical Co. Those who spoke on the nursing profession were: Mrs. Pat Crowe, and Mrs. Brennan, St. Margaret's Hospital; Miss Wooley, Mrs. Lar- kin, and Mrs. Pfoff, all from Provi- dence Hospital. Martha Ludwig First In Math Contest Ten Miege juniors and seniors participated in the annual math contest sponsored by the Mathe- matical Association of America and the Society of Actuaries on March 9. Mr. Crowe administered the test, which is a rugged 90- minute ordeal that would tax any- one’s mathematical ability. The winners in the contest were: Martha Ludwig, first place; Jeff Brcmser, second place; and Eliza- beth Green, third place. The other participants were: Ron Kowaleski. Bob Koetting, Kathy McCarthy, John Wheeler, Jed Kee, Dave Hann, and Margie Gurren. 137 Clarion Call for Courtesy (EDITOR'S NOTE: Following is the text of a speech made by Miege’s exchange student, Daniel Atencio, on March 1. We felt it appropriate for publication in this our final issue, as a reminder that the effects of the Courtesy Contest should be lasting.) This is our Courtesy Week and our courtesy contest. It is time for reflection on this important quality in human life, and time to make an analysis to see if it applies to all acts, in any occasion and anywhere as it must do. This does not mean in any way that courtesy is more important this day or this week than at any other time, but it is the special moment to stop and think of its importance in each individual and in the life of all human society. But before I express the reason that inspired this contest in this particular school I would like to express a brief idea about courtesy to see if there is any reason for which such a contest exists and perhaps any reason for the students know- ing it and applying it to their lives. Courtesy is something simple but great. It is not possible to measure it nor is it easy to evaluate. Courtesy is the knowl- edge of man himself in his relation with others and of his obligations to the life of the group. It is a habit and a complement of life without which existence seems to be not beauty. It is as a flower in life which gives the person person- ality, because no personality can exist where this special characteristic is not achieved. Courtesy is an unselfish disposition of thought that moves us to be kind to others and to be so always. It is to love everybody as God loves all of us, and to express this love; others in turn will love us and then the unity in the world will follow. There is a close relationship between the success of man in life and the way he acts, the way lie asks for something he needs or desires or perhaps the way he shares with others his own happiness. We at Miege have special reasons to be aware of such greatness. Courtesy is spiritual; we form a society of principles and high ideals. We who proudly carry the Catholic sign must see in courtesy an expression of Christianity. We have been taught the great principles, not to stimulate our minds, but to model and decorate our lives; we who have greater reasons to be courteous than the success in temporal life and a good position in society. We are striving to be God-like and to reach our goal which is Heaven. I believe we must be aware of the necessity of courtesy, not only to our teachers and other students but to everylxxly, so that this will be a personal crusade improving our school, our society and our country. Today Miege calls us and we must listen and answer. Not only within the school but everywhere we must give honor to Miege and its teachers and also to our Catholic principles.

We are not doing something for today or tomorrow, for principles never get old, never pass and never die. Our responsibility to the future of Miege is clear and we, the students of today must give something great to those who come in the near future. Not to give them ideas or to teach them rules but to show them our lives. This is our school, the source of light we need and love. In our hands is its future. Let’s work together with the con- viction of students, of Catholics and of good citizens. Hushed Stillness, silence, calm. Wind rushing through the trees Whistling through the branches Howling ’round the doors Sweeping through the gutters Blowing all before, Swirling leaves in pyramids Up and up and up Then toppling down and scattering Its playthings in the dust. Scuffling on the roof, Pattering and tapping Noises soft and strange, Swishing to and fro Swishing to and fro Swish, swish, hush.

Future Secretaries Merit Certificates After eight weeks of lectures given by some of Johnson County’s most prominent legal personnel, such as Juvenile Court Judge, Her- bert Walton, seven Miegians ended the Legal Secretary Training course at Shawnee Mission East sponsored by the Johnson County Chapter of the National Associa- tion of Legal Secretaries. Those who completed the course were: Miss Murphy, Connie Bock, Pat Kirby, Janet Leins, Kathy Rode, Bernardine Wambolt, and Linda Weber. In order to pass the course, each girl had to compile a notebook of all the papers and notes they had received at the meetings. These consisted of adoption petitions, wills, and many other legal forms. The girls received their cer- tificates of completion at a dinner at the Holiday Inn, April 13. Pat Kirby Miege Participates In Music Festival On March 18, the Miege vocal ensemble traveled to Saint Mary College in Leavenworth for the annual Music Festival. Hard and exacting work from the ensemble group produced a first place rat- ing, one of four such ratings given. Mary Kay and Jim Hippman were awarded a second rating. Janice Fromholtz Art Contest Entries Exhibited at Miege Stags stacked up the highest number of wins in the Archdio- cesan Art Contest held at Miege, Sunday, April 9, but placed third in points, following Ward and St. Joe as first and second. First place winners were Jay Walsh with an oil painting, and Mary Kay Pyle with a pastel. Sec- ond place: Carol Pitnick, a pastel; Steve Dragcrt, pencil drawing, and Westport Host to Ateneio The Westport High School Span- ish Club was host to Senior Daniel Ateneio at their meeting of March 10. Dan, our foreign exchange stu- dent, gave an oration on his school life here, customs of his country, and also family life in Panama. So enthusiastic were the students with Dan’s comments that all immedi- ately entered into a conversation in Spanish, which left most of the novices in the club “way out in left field.” Before his departure from the meeting, Dan was treated with a Spanish pastry especially prepared in his honor for the meeting. Toni Wagner, business manager of the club commented: “Miege is for- tunate indeed to have Daniel in their midst, and we appreciated his visit to an immeasurable extent.” Jack Schwab Jay Walsh, ink drawing. Third place: Ronald Yeamans, design; Mary Catherine Scherman and Kathy Walker, linoleum block de- sign; Jay Walsh, pencil drawing, and Kathy Walker, pastel. Other schools participating in the contest were Hayden, Maur Hill, Seneca, Ward and St. Joe. Miege Rates High In East Speech Meet Miegians walked off with ratings ranging from one to three in the Speech Meet at Shawnee-Mission East, Saturday, March 18. Those who presented entries in the cate- gory of Dramatic Readings were Shirley Johnson who gave “Win- terset,” Kathy Johnson with “Black Tragedy,” Carolyn Cody, “Nectar in a Sieve,” and Jack Schwab with “The Telltale Heart.” In poetry, Diane Fogarty presented a cutting from “John Brown’s Body,” while Ed Hammond and John Wheeler gave orations. Jed Kee and Dan Furst had 30 minutes to prepare extemporaneous speeches on as- signed topics. Don Cain and John Wheeler gave speeches of informa- tion, which were to range from 5 to 7 minutes in length. Other schools represented were Shawnee- Mission North, Leavenworth, Bon- ner Springs, Olathe, and Shawnee- Mission East. The ratings given are 1, 2, 3, and 4. One denotes superior; two, excellent; three, average, and four, below average. Miege received three ratings of 1, seven of 2, and one of 3. Elaine Hunter 139 Resurrexit Sicut Dixit. - Alleluia hy did Christ suffer and dic for us? II Christ is God, and therefore all-power- ful, why did he take on human nature and endure the agony of the cross when one drop of blood, one thought of the Divine would have satisfied infinitely for the sins of all mankind? During the Easter Season—in the climax of the entire Love-story— we see and experience in a new way the answers to these questions. We can learn much about the sufferings of Christ if we examine human love. Human love has its idyllic stage where no shadow has yet fallen; but it is only after the crosses have come that love is brought forth fully and developed and that peace, wisdom and joy are achieved. We know that God is involved in the sufferings of mankind. He assumed a human nature in order to be so involved and to show us these things. St. Paul tells us, “I make up what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ’ —a seem- ing contradiction, for if Calvary is infinite, how can we add to the immolation? The answer to this paradox is simply this: the crucifixion was an event in time; but the Cross transcends time. We live in a world of events. Thus our actions today do play a part in the love story according to our will-to-share, which is what we call love. But to think only of Christ’s Passion is to see only a part of the love story. After the Cross, the Resurrection. But in eternity there is no “after.” The entire act of the Crucifixion and the Resurrection, the Divine compassion and triumph are one. This mystery, too, can be somewhat clarified if we examine human love. Isn’t it possible to know deep joy in the agony of compassion? In the agony we may suffer at the loss of a loved one, are we not filled with deepest joy that the loved one now is enjoying God for all eternity? These two moments—the Cross and the Resurrection—arc found every day in the Mass which is not merely a repetition of Calvary. Wc can share in this act by “casting our cares upon the Lord” and living, not in the future or the past, but in the present, in the love of God; by sharing in the self-offering of Christ in the Mass. Then we can begin to understand supreme sorrow and supreme joy; then can wc share in the compassion and triumph of the Lord. Joanne Holtzmann BATTLE OF WITS Congratulations to Joanne Holtzman, Mary Kay Pyle, Martha Ludwig, Carolyn Cody, John Wheeler, and Dan Furst for their victory over the Ward contestants at the “Battle of Wits” on Sunday, April 23, sponsored by the National Honor Society. The score was 53-22. Winners Announced Winners in the Literary Contest sponsored by the Miegian were: Larry Rouse, sophomore, who won in the short story division with, “The Turnabout”; Janet Langlois, freshman, essay, “The Coat of Many Colors,” first place, and Kathy Drozda, senior, “Take It From the Beginning,” second place; Bill Humphrey, junior, poetry, “Dark and Light,” and Paul Sager, junior, “This Life of Hours,” both first place; Jeanne Rohner, freshman, “Mystic Nature,” and Sharon Borgmeyer, fresh m a n, “Lovebirds,” both second place; cartoon division, Jay Walsh, sopho- more, first and Jim Boydston, sophomore, second. Tom Walsh, editor, announced the winners over the inner-corn and gave the winners their cash prizes during the activity period. Scholarships to Seniors Concentrated effort and much time in study have proven fruitful these past few weeks for several Vliege seniors. Both Mary Kay Pyle and Martha Ludwig have been awarded top scholarships at St. Teresas College, valued at $800 each. Through the Westinghouse Wheeler Representative at Oratorical Contest John Wheeler, Miegian orator, took fourth place in the C.Y.O. Oratorical Contest at St. Joseph’s in Shawnee, March 5. First place winner was Mary Ellen Nastali from St. Joe, while Robert J. I luck from Maur Hill took second. The first and second prizes were award- ed by Father John B. Yadrich, Di- rector of the Archdiocesan C.Y.O. The topic of the memorized ten- minute speeches was “Personal Responsibility,” the statement of the Bishops of the United States of November, 1960. The judges were Mr. Maurice Swanson, in- structor in debate at Shawnee Mis- sion East; Rev. Stanley E. Kala- maja, S.J., speech instructor. Rock- hurst College; and Sister Ancilla Marie, speech instructor, Lorctto Academy. Elaine Hunter Science Talent Search, Joanne Holtzman has been offered a full- tuition scholarship at St. Francis College, Fort Wayne, Indiana, val- ued at approximately $1800. Jo Magerl and Kay Hudson have re- ceived $800 scholarships to St. Mary College, Xavier, $200 per year. Congratulations to these Stags on their fine effort! Tom Walsh, editor of the Miegian, presented the winners of the Miegian Lit- erary Contest with cash prizes. Potential free-lancers are Larry Rouse, Jim Boydston, Janet Langlois, Rodney Vickery, Kathy Drozda, Sharon Borgmeyer, Bill Humphrey, Jeanne Rohner and Jay Walsh. 140 Vogue says: “Go to ‘Rosie’s Roll- ers,’ the exclusive beauty salon made especially for the Miege girls. The featured hair stylist, Roseann Martin, is showing among other styles the famous ‘nose cone’ and the ‘turtle top.’ Make your appoint- ments early for the prom.” Seeing as both track and golf cheers have been supplemented, we can’t proceed any further with- out giving recognition to our swim- mer. So—“See that dive, see that stroke, come on Jack, let’s not poke.” “Wave your arms, kick your feet, Oh Roy! That looks neat.” Carol Rrandemeyer had a little verbal difficulty in Speech class. What’s so hard about saying “But- ter your bread,” Carol? With the end of Lent we can’t help but notice: Longer lunch lines, the “Battle of the Bulge” being fought again, and baggy eyes due to late parties. Graduation’s almost here, if I don’t pass you’ll be reading this another year. Math Club Takes Tour Thanks to the courtesy of Mr. Pat McGill, the sophomore mem- bers of the Mathematics Club on March 2 toured the branch office of the All-State Insurance Agency in Kansas City to discover for themselves how the math that they study is used in the business world. Mr. Grady Vanders and Mr. Mc- Sophs Given Views On Walks of Life “Marooney the cop was a broad- shouldered, red-faced hunk of man. . . So ran Mr. Edwin Borserine’s talk to the Sophomores on Wednes- day, March 22. With several clever jokes and stories, Mr. Borserine covered the all-enveloping topic of SERVICE, forcefully dispelling the sometimes prominent idea that service, in the true sense of the word, is only for “goody-goodies.” With a vivacious smile, Mrs. Ed- ward Hokanson encouraged the girls to be energetic in their out- looks, to decide what they want for future years—be it marriage, a career, or both—and to start now in trailing that goal down. Departing from the standards of nuns and priests talking on re- ligious vocations, Mr. John Phil- lips, from St. Ann’s parish, did just that, pointing out that a boy or girl who enters a convent or seminary should feel no awkward- ness with his friends or family shoidd he or she decide to come back. Many parents, he said, who have spent several months of their early lives in religious houses, look back to these days as ones they would never exchange. The sophomores would all agree that their three guests—splendid laymen working in the world for Christ—gave them much food for thought, in keeping with the theme, “What you are to be, you are now becoming.” Susan Roche Gill guided the Miegians through the office and explained to them how the different punch card ma- chines, sorters and computers played a vital part of the process- ing of policies and the payment of claims. Young mathematicians were shown the control boards of the various machines along with the code system of the holes in the punch cards which, when inter- preted by the machines, spelled out their names. by Elaine Hunter Sister Marianne’s Home Ec Club is learning all of the different styles of setting tables, formal, in- formal, dinner, luncheon, etc. The Literary Clubs are giving book reports on the various new acquisitions to the library. Sister Immaculata’s Future Teachers of America had a talk on teaching given by Miss Shine, Holy Rosary’s third grade teacher and sister of senior Judy Shine. The Fine Arts Club plans to buy film strips for the club’s enjoyment with money from the club treas- ury. March 19 the members of PoVo had a Day of Recollection at which Father Lawrence Kelly spoke. Al- so attending were the interested 8th grade girls from St. Ann’s, St. Agnes, Holy Name, Pius X, Queen of the Holy Rosary and Cure of Ars Parishes. Later on this year, the PoVo’s will see a panel given by the members of the club who are going into the convent. Mr. Crowe has received a grant from the National Science Founda- tion to study the high school mathematics curriculum this sum- mer. The Literary Club, sponsored by Sister Georgetta, formed a tenta- tive constitution recently. 141 The Coat of Many Colors An old Kentucky mountain man, his face as seamed and pitted and furrowed as the land he tried to plow, his frame as tall and gaunt as the corn he tried to raise, taught me a lesson I’ll never forget. It happened in a little cafe, one of many in the bluegrass region, and off in the middle of no- where. I was on route to Logan, West Virginia, my home- town. Plumb out of Georgia Tech, I considered myself more than a Keek of an engineer. So it didn’t bother me to remove, and not too gently, an ebony-skinned girl and her whining baby from a stool at the lunch bar to the floor so that I could sit down and eat. I hadn’t touched a morsel of food in at least an hour; I didn’t notice that the girl was so weak she had collapsed at my feet and that her baby was grabbing at the crumbs which resulted from my not-exactly Emily Post manners. Before I realized it, strong arms had lifted her onto the stool next to mine and a strong hand attached to one of them beckoned me over to a side booth. As I looked at the mountaineer, I swear I could smell moonshine or that corn cider my grandpaw used to make. But applejack and the like was the farthest thing from his mind when he asked me, “Son, you ever read the Bible?’’ ‘’Enough,” I answered evasively. “Well, now,” he drawled, “you heard tell then of Joseph who had them twelve brothers and was sold into slavery?” “Sure.” “ ’Cause he was his father’s favorite, he got hisself a coat of different colors—blue, green, purple. Well, sir, I like to consider myself the father’s favorite, and I pretend the good Lord gave me a coat of many colors. I got to wear this coat day in and day out. It’s all different colors. Brown, yellow, red my coat’s got in it, but it’s made up mostly of black, yep, mostly black. So, I can’t make fun or look down my nose at them such as that poor creature over there. I got on the same color as they do and we only poke fun at ’em, ’cause we got different colors on.” I sat staring at him for a long time before he winked at me and ambled out the door. I was wondering if the Angel Gabriel would look similar with a coonskin cap on. The girl was feeding her baby the milk she had bought with the dime the man of the mountain had pressed into her hand. I got up and tried to give her a ten-dollar bill. She wouldn’t take it. In desperation I said, “Look, I need to give you this as much as you need to take it.” A wide, white slit of a smile cracked open from ebony ear to ebony ear. With tears in her eyes she accepted my bus fare. I felt curiously good and warm, but I wasn’t surprised —I knew I had an extra coat on! Janet Langlois Alley Elected Prex Of Ju nior Librarians The Library Student Assistants of the State Northeast District met at Micgc Saturday, April 8. One hundred twenty- three students and seventeen librarians from the junior and senior high schools of Kansas City, Topeka, Olathe, and Turner were in attendance. Dave Fortin, president 1960-’61, presided at the business meeting and election of new officers. Officers elected were: president, Larry Alley, Miege; vice-president, Jim Pfieffer, Shawnee Mission North; secretary, Cathy Sheimcr, Topeka High; council representatives, Barbara Elliot, Old Mission Jr. High, and Iris Garwcin, Boswell Jr. High, Topeka. Mother Charles of Ursuline Academy, Paola, reviewed her book “Out of the Sunset,” a novel about early Kansas days. This was followed by a period of discussion and auto- graphing. After a social hour, the student assistants toured cither the Kansas City, Missouri, Public Library or the Indian Missions and Johnson County Library. Random Thoughts by Bm Humphrey Funny how quiet it was the day all the girls were dis- missed early to attend the PoVo play. Many loyal math students arc wondering what has hap- pened to JoJo. At last word he was torn between two over- anxious girl friends. “Pacificism” seems to be the latest fad but it’s nothing new among students. Now that basketball season is over and there won’t be any more practice, many of our roundball stars will either have to start doing homework or find some new excuses. Many may criticize the topics discussed over the lunch tables as silly but are they worse than those passing over the president’s desk? Al umni News by Pam Blast-hum Jim Barry, who is attending Rocklnirst College, was named Student Manager of the freshman baseball and basket- ball teams. I’m sure everyone remembers camerabug, Bill Malone, who graduated last year. He must’ve had a lot of good experience last year, because he is now the school photogra- pher at St. Mary’s of the Plains in Dodge City, and he is also working for the Dodge City newspaper, the Globe. Some of the better news pictures he takes are sent to Kansas City for use in the Star and on TV. I also learned through a good source that Bill gets up at 5:00 every morning, goes to a farm about five or six blocks from the school, and milks cows! Well, you can’t say he’s not doing something different! Jim Van Bibber and Jim North, both graduates of ’60 are going to night school at Kansas City University. A former Stag of ’59, Jim English, has been working for the past year as an IBM operator at Jones. Paul Lavery, a friend of Jim’s who also graduated in ’59, is assistant buyer at the same department store. Pam Blaschum Miss Patricia Tobin gives inside tips to tomorrow’s teach- ers on Career Night. 142 KCU Jazz Ensemble Here With a wild, wailing trumpet lament from one of the jazz side- men, Miege was christened for the first time with a live jazz concert in the cafeteria by the Kansas City University Conservatory of Music- Jazz Workshop Ensemble. “Said swingin’ session” commenced to vibrate at the beginning of the ac- tivity period on Friday, April 21, and continued to scrape the roof with the unmistakable, flam- bouyant sound of massed brass for the remainder of the period. Herb Six, in charge of the jazz workshop at the conservatory, worked up a concert featuring his group with a number of original modern compo- sitions, as well as some already made famous. For Miege, it was a new experi- ence, and it is speculated that the possibility of the formation of a jazz appreciation club at Miege for educational purposes may spring up. Jack Schwab Frosh Tournaments Freshmen girls’ Pliys. Ed. classes participated in ping-pong tourna- ments and shuffleboard contests from February 6 to 20. These events were held in the recreation room during class periods when the students were not in the gym. Winners of the P. E. contest were: Shuffleboard First Hour: Pam Shannon and Pam Atchity. Second Hour: Susan Wagner and Mary Jo McAuley. Fourth Hour: Barbara Gorman and Marilyn Kostusik. Sixth Hour: Shirley Dreiling and Kathy McDaniels. Ping-pong First Hour: Helen Hennier and Marsha Sweeney. Second Hour; Janet Langlois and Mary Anne Manuel. Third Hour: Kathy Gunigal and Mary Kay Corny. Fourth Hour: Marlee Fisher and Diane Gerling. Sixth Hour: Elizabeth Sauer and Jane Barry. B-Ball Roundup Sumner Stunned by Sumner’s full court press, Miege’s fighting Stags re- corded a mere five-point first quar- ter as they hosted the Spartans to a 56-29 victory. Sumner, hitting 45% from the field, earned a 32- point halftime lead. Regrouping themselves during halftime the Stags produced a 24- point second half spearheaded by John Long and Gary Rollheiser. However, this fine effort fell short in the Stags’ effort to overcome the shifty Spartans. Ward In the final game of the Stags’ regularly scheduled season, Ward defeated the home team 56-47. This final game showed a superb effort on the part of the Miege team. Bill Leins led the Stags with 20 points. Holding a lead at halftime, the Stags were even up 35-35 at the end of the third quarter. Stags on the Run The Miege track team has all but concluded a successful indoor season. Many more aspiring candidates are giving their legs a good work- out under the auspices of head track coach Arthur Zimola. The number of underclassmen present is overwhelming. The backbone of the Miege team is led by letterman John Pat McGill, followed by Felix Gotner, Don Landis, Ron Regan, Mike Scherzer, Mike Grady, and Larry Bohon. The events being run in the indoor season are the 50-yard dash, the high and low hurdles, the 40-yard dash, the half mile, the pole vault, the shot, and the broad jump. The spring season will com- mence after the State Indoor Meet. High hopes are awaiting the com- ing of spring. “Nose” Se GO FORMAL to the PROM i EVERYTHING YOU NEED BUT THE GIRL American tux co. 1405 MAIN ST. BA 1-7971 DINNER JACKETS $4,50 COMPLETE OUTFIT $8- GROUP DISCOUNT 143 Jeffs Jargon I find it rather amusing that several of the distaff in this school are somewhat against the literary attempts of this col- umn. The purpose of this column is to entertain and those who are not amused or entertained should perhaps not waste any of their time in perusal of this copy. Perhaps if this certain dissatisfied clique of females would like to pool their literary talents they could come up with something suitable for publication in this paper. I would readily submit to such an atrocity if these girls can summon their reserve of talents for a sufficient period of time in which to render account of some pretentious dribblings which they think pertinent and perhaps even half-amusing. It appears that the golf team will be charmed with the presence of a feminine member this year in the person of “Louise” McGill. Personable Louise is not too long off the tee but she is accuracy plus and often sacrifices distance for accuracy. The short-swinging sweetheart has captured the entire squad with her winning smile and genuine homespun charm, and, although she has not quite gotten her game into shape she does have some new golf shoes which will no doubt improve her scores. I thought the new cheers adapted for the track team and exhibited for the first time in the last issue possessed refresh- ing originality and real wit. I'm afraid, however, that our dauntless cheerleaders’ enthusiasm will be dampened some- what if, when they arc chanting a chorus of “you make the pole-vault, we’ll make the noise,” they are impaled by a mis- aimed javelin or hit in the solar plexus by a spinning discus. If this plan actually goes through perhaps we can appropriate a nominal fee to the track team for purchase of assorted ear muffs to be used at important meets. If the Pep Club is going to cheer for the track team I think at least the “B” squad should be sent to cheer for the golfers. Some suitable cheers could be: “See that flagstick, see that cup, come on Teddy, put it up.” “Hit that ball, hit that ball, farther, farther,” or “Birdie, birdie, birdie boys, you make the birdies, we’ll make the noise.” The ultimate cheer will be chorused by both the track men and the golfers and will go something like this: “See that Pep Club, hear them cheer, come on girls you’re out of gear.” Here for the last time is my infamous question-answer column. Q. What do you think of track as a sport? A. I think that on the whole it is very fine, and if our Pep Club goes through with its wonderful plans, it will be quite a spectacle this season. Mike Doyle will provide many thrills when he foams over after running a fast 100-yard dash. Q. What are the requirements for getting on the golf team? A. Well, if you “have money which will travel” I think we can work you in. It seems that Mr. Crowe, popular math teacher, has come up with a startling trigonometric equation for making free throws and will use it in the annual varsity-alumni B-ball game. It has been suggested that all lettermen who also take math courses not play in the game so as not to give the in- structor too much opportunity to use the newly perfected foul shot. Junior flash, Ted Dickey, had an operation performed on his “broken in” golf shoes the other day. The emergency was handled on the course by deft Bon Taylor and considera- ble portions of quality leather were removed from the shoe thereby proving that old adage “Brevity is the sole of Mr. Dickey’s shoe.” There has been considerable consternation over the can- cellation of the school ping-pong tournament and a petition is now in circulation to have the tourney rescheduled. Some notables who have already signed the petition are: P. J. “Nose” Cerling “61”; M. D. Grebowiec “61” or “62”; M. D. Ewing D.D.S. “61’; J. Ray “Snake” Nash “61”; Simon Sulli- van “61 ; R. Tyler Koetting “61”; Patrice Lumumba R.I.P.; Kathy Drozda “??.” We feel that I should include in this issue a rundown of the coaching staffs of the spring sports to give the sports fans an insight to the personalities of these patient men and to improve student-faculty relations. Track: Coach Arthur Zimola—ht. 6 or 7 ft.; wt. about 190 lbs.; hair—brown; eyes—brown; shoes—black; hobby— teaches. Coach Zimola has a tendency to become slightly upset when someone absent-mindedly drops a shotput on his foot or when glamour twins, Ewing and Doyle, fail to report for practice. Coif: Head coach James Hill—ht. 5'6 (in golf shoes); hair—flesh-colored; eyes—blue; hobby—ruins golf balls. Golf- ers have tendency to produce higher scores when playing with Coach Hill thus earning him dubious title, “Black Cat.” Assistant Coach: Laurence Grosdidier—ht. 6'; wt.—un- known; hair—brown; eyes—red; hobby—classified. This is definitely not his game. I find, reluctantly, that this is the last column I will write for this publication. A few others, I imagine, are just not overloaded with melancholy at the news. There arc a few to whom I am especially grateful for lack of gripes and libel suits and I wish to acknowledge them here. I cite the following for above and far beyond the call of duty. J. Har- lan Wheeler, Reginald Taylor, M. D. Ewing, P. J. “Nose” Gerling, Coach L. Grosdidier, Teddy Dickey, Smalley Rich McGill, and last, but far from least, Kathy Drozda (whew). I wish to thank you for the reception of my published re- marks. I don’t expect to be here next year and I wish luck to the sap who takes my place. My next ambition as a col- umnist is to start a feud with Jack Parr and possibly be called names over nation-wide TV. Peace.
