Bishop Miege High School - Hart / Miegian Yearbook (Shawnee Mission, KS)

Text from Pages 1 - 208 of the 1962 volume:

Art mas ter yearbooks. Jnc. The traditions and reputation that are now an integral part of Miege were four years ago just the dreams and hopes of a freshman class. As freshmen they ac- cepted the numerous and concomitant re- sponsibilities of the beginnings of a new school. Slowly, through months of chal- lenge and endless effort, strong versatile leadership developed that has since guided the Miegian in his struggle for achieve- ment and intellectual progression. Through four years of trail, error, and final success came the adamant character, the restless searching intellect, the strength and faith that symbolize the Miege student. They met the challenge that was placed before them. They gradually paved a way for the succeeding years. Leader- ship, scholarship, service, character— all proved a vital ingredient to the final recipe. From these four qualities was wrought the personality of the Miege stu- dent. That class of four years ago is the Senior Class of this year. It is the first class to complete four years at Bishop Miege. Therefore we find it most fitting and appropriate to dedicate this yearbook to the Senior Class of 1962. - 1 - 4 Staff prganifeationi M ify Kay lAmoneno R d Vickery 1 D ve Kjierst P ;gy Gaines ygy ijfalldran E ve Proffitt 1 rri Fjarrejl E n Bdllanjl Student Photos Paula Heilman Mike Garner Copy Editor Art Editor Phqtographers Typists Gary Sholtes Jay Walsh Bill Humphrey Dave Proffitt Mary Kay Maloney Pat Arnold Carol Pitnick WW mi THE Ml 'I I fit.

Sullivan, Principal We, the faculty and staff of Bishop Miege High School, do hold and maintain that the pupil is a creature of God of inestimable worth since he has been redeemed by the Blood of the Saviour and elevated to a supernatural gift of divine life; that he was created for the purpose of giving honor and glory to his Creator by the proper development of the gifts which he has received and by his self-dedication to a life of service in conformity with the Divine Will. We, therefore, dedicate ourselves to the task of directing the pupil in the development of these talents so that he might achieve the purpose of his existence. To this end, we be- lieve that it is necessary to place equal emphasis upon the development of his will, through discipline and upon the development of his intellectual powers so that the pupil will acquire the moral as well as the intellectual virtues. We recognize the primary right and duty which the parents have in the education of the child and realize that the parents have chosen us to assist them in this most vital function. Fully realizing the challenge which faces the American youth, whose mission it will be to preserve a Christian and democratic way of life in a world that is threatened by pagan- ism and slavery, we accept the responsibility of preparing him for this mission. This, we be- lieve, necessitates the fullest possible development of his personality: spiritual, as well as physical; moral, as well as intellectual; according to the teaching and example of the Divine Master. Only in this way, we believe, can an institution of learning be successful in developing citizens of two worlds who are spiritually vigorous, intelligent, cultured, patriotic, vocation- ally prepared, and physically fit. May God assist us in this noble task, that we might accomplish the goals which we have herewith set forth.

A self-written saga of interest beyond the classroom, of interest beyond selfish motives, of an interest in the activities of the world beyond the school years, above all else instills in the individual a true meaning of school life. The history of Miege thus far--a record full of worthwhile activities and ideals—a prophecy of the future to be carried on further upon the sound basis of the past is contained within these pages. Future years may bring even greater glory and reap higher honors, yet there could be hardly a student body more enthusiastic than that which, in the course of four short years, has helped Miege to grow into a fine noble institution of learning. Long may its halls echo and re-echo the splendid spirit of young Americans who in time hope to take their places as worthy citizens of this great democracy. - 36 - Entering the confessional, Father Stitz begins one of the most important tasks of the retreat master. Retreat The annual Miegian retreat was held October 8th, 9th, and 10th. It began Sunday evening with a brief dis- cussion of the elements which are essential for a well- formed retreat. The retreat itself for the junior and sen- ior class was conducted by Father Curt Lanzrath O.F.M. and for the freshmen and sophomores by Father John Stitz. In the two days which followed conferences were held four times a day with Mass shortly before lunch and benediction ending the daily schedule. During the day, a new experiment was introduced at Miege as the upper- classmen were given more freedom than in past years. This enabled them to read privately, pray, or just do some thinking on their own. “And now, let us pray for the next one among us who is to die.” With such thoughts as these Father Curt always seemed to be able to put the seriousness of the moment across to his listeners. - 37 - HOMECOMING ROYALTY Queen Jeannine Allen - 38 - First Attendant Joyce Granquist Third Attendant Jeanne Bartolac Second Attendant Carole Pitnick Fourth Attendant Pat Ackman - 39 - Steve Murray Mike Murray Dave Lemer struggles for pay dirt.

Then- names were engraved on a plaque and placed in the trophy case. “Oh, Thank you Prince Charming!” - 55 - Tropical Paradise Early in January the junior class began planning for the prom. Committee heads were appointed, committees set up, a theme selected, a bid designed, and (as the year progressed) building and decorating plans were begun. Then in April, as part of the final preparations, the prom royalty was chosen by secret ballot of the junior class. Seniors Margaret Steele and Gary Rollheiser were elected queen and king; and they and their attendants reigned over a Tropical Paradise” on May 4. The prom, as usual, coming after the last yearbook deadline, it was not possible for the staff to get pictures of the dance itself. The pictures below were taken while the prom was still only in the planning stage, though much of the work of the junior class had already be- gun. Jack Hove, junior class vice- president, and Committee chairmen Doug Dragert, Mimi Ronnau, Dave Crawley, and Barbara Tremble discuss plans at an early meeting. Jim Kraai.Mary Lu Doll, Kathy Gaughan and David Staab visualize the transformation of the cafeteria foyer into a set- ting of palm trees andy moonlight.

For them, it will mark the culmination of four years of scholastic endeavor; and due to this, each is deserving of honor. But two of them, David Fortin and Richard Koch will be deserving of individual honor as the valedictorian and salutatorian of the class of 1962.

Shortly we will conclude a portion of our lives forever prominent in our minds and hearts. The friendships, activities, and experiences of these four years at Miege will be with us al- ways, uniting us in spirit, rejoining us in memory. We entered the realm of secondary education as the first freshman class of Miege, the class of ’62. This arrival, however, was not without notice. Immediately we were greeted with such time and energy consuming projects as “unknowns”, vocabulary lists, conjugations, and the inevitable calisthenics. Despite these, we managed to enjoy making new acquain- tances, many of which became lasting friendships, and the thrill of cheering “our” team to an undefeated football season. Our sophomore year found us more a part of the school. That year our interests ranged from the famous C. Y. O. convention, to the elusive Roscoe McDowell. But, above all, we asserted our school and class spirit with our well-meant, but slightly mis-spelled, full page yearbook ad. Next we assumed further dignity as upperclassmen—“tacky” though we were. As juniors, more of our class members won distinctions at both club and school levels. Our influence was being felt. How could it be helped when hordes of grotesquely attired juniors stormed the gym and demanded victory, as did we, for that “certain” game? This year was climaxed by Student Council elections and the Stardust Prom. The election campaign was unequalled in extent and enthusiasm; the innumerable hours of worry and work put into “Stardust” were well worth it. The prom was tremendously successful and beautiful-a night to be re- membered. Then, we were seniors. So much depended on us. No longer could we look to those ahead for help. We realized how great a part of the school’s responsibility was ours. We have tried to accept it. This year we have led most of the clubs, the Student Council, the publications, the athletics. We have had our “lemon drop fund”, our “fraternal” Physics class, our Home- coming, our Senior Prom. We have had all our honors. And now, we realize they have come, and gone, far too fast. We look back with pride as the first all-Miege graduating class. We look back with pride on our accomplishments, our distinctions, our memories. Let these form a bond uniting us to one another, and to our school. Now, however, we must focus our attention not back, but ahead. Ahead to graduation—and beyond. Beyond to the adult lives which will be ours. We must accept them, live them, make them successful. Our roads are many and varied. Let us follow them as best we can. If we hesitate—no matter. Security, accomplishment, and memories are hard to leave. But, if we hesitate, let us hesitate not for doubt, or fear, but for the memories we share.

The -Junior class in its three years at Miege has distinguished itself in both scholastic and athletic fields. However, the main purpose of this class is to work in accordance with the other stu- dents to promote the general welfare of Bishop Miege High School. We, the juniors of 1961, proudly look back upon the Prom, which perfectly exemplifies the spirit of our class. Such an event could not have taken place without a maximum effort. This effort was displayed from the time committees were organized in November until the Prom in May. And now, our third year completed, we feel ready and worthy to assume the task of school leaders as the senior class of 1962-1963. sy President - HO - Bill Agnew Richard Annan Pat Arnold Jim Aust Sandra Bauman Robert Beverlin Bernie Bialek Pat Biasella Jim Boydston Sheila Brashear Sheila Bresnahan Joyce Brinson Peggy Briuer Dave Bussjaeger Richard Butler John Campbell Anne Chalk Pat Chatterton Teresa Cheatham Stan Christian Judy Clark Pat Clifford Rick Coan Jeanne Cody Tish Connor Laurie Corcoran David Crawley George Crooks Mary Ann Cusack Anne Dansdill Le Vem Dimarco Rosemarie Dolan Julianne Dold Mary Lu Doll Mary Donahoe Sheila Downs Doug Dragret Frank Egan Peggy Feren Mike Ferrari Pam Flynn Bob Foley Kathy Ford John Freese Mary Fuchs Kathy Gaughan Don Gerling Mike Grady Sheri Ha man Doug Hann Joe Hartnett Mary Ellen Hinze Kathy Hoey Joyce Hoffman Mary Rita Hope Tom Horan - 81 - Meredith Houser Jack Hove Carol Huber Stephen Hudson Kathy Johnson Shirley Johnson Penny Karson Tom Keehan Paul Keenan Larry Kellerrnan Pat Kelly Karol Kempster Pam Kenny Bill Kernion Mike Kimmons John Koetting Vicki Koch Mary Koob Jim Kraai Patrice Krampff Julie Ladesic Joan Langan Margaret Mary Lavery David Lemer Ann Linton Jim Lisson Gary Little Carolyn Lohmeyer Carroll Me Avoy Marilyn Me Gee Pat Me Henry Gayle Maloney Mary Kay Maloney Fred Mance Mary Marks Diane Martin Theresa Martin Ron Meinert Harold Metz Sue Miller Mike Murray Mike D.

Traditionally the sophomore class has shown its true spirit through an enthusiastic par- ticipation in school activities. An example of this is shown by the large number of volun- teers for homecoming preparations, and the industrious attitude with which we have under- taken these tasks. Since our class has no specifically assigned project, we have taken the initiative to spon- sor a victory flag contest open to sophomore art talent exclusively. We know that the flag will be flown frequently because of the upcoming sophomore athletes. I feel confident, therefore, that our class will succeed in accomplishing future goals as has been done so effectively our previous two years. r snj President Dennis Abeel Gary Aberer Kathy Adams Beth Alexander Larry Allen Mary Andrew Kathy Apple Janice Armenta Pam Atchity Sue Audley Mike Bader Denny Barger Linda Barlow Jane Barry Kathy Bell - 84 - Barbara Berroyer Bill Beyer Paula Bibb Nancy Blodgett Richard Bock Sharon Borgmeyer Jim Bornheimer Maureen Boshier Frank Bower Tresa Bowers Patricia Boysen Bob Brennan Donald Brennan Mary Brenner George Brink Bill Calabrese Daniel Carter David Chaffee Mike Clark Cathy Colleran Mary Kay Conry Judy Brooks Judy Bryant Buzz Buchanan Barbara Bunyon Dave Bums Tony Coon Doug Couch Nancy Curtis Susie Cushing Susan Dakis Ed Daly Kathy Daly Dianne Darnell Cynthia Day Sandi De Celles Mike De Coursey Dave Depping Sandra De Maria Marsha Devine Phyllis De Maio Bill Doeren Shirley Dreiling Tom Dwyer Kathy Farrell Elaine Farrow Richard Eisler John Engardio Barbara Fischer Marlee Fisher John Fleming Pat Foley Virginia Foley Albert Freese Patti Fuchs Steve Fuhrman - 85 - Laura Furst John Gaines Jim Garner Marie Garrison Pat Gaughan Tom Geraghty Dianne Gerling Michael Glaeser Nick Guillaume John Goldrick Barbara Gormar Jim Grabenhorst Carol Grauberger Kathy Gunigal Margo Habiger Rob Haling Mary Kay Hall Tom Hamill Tom Hammond Janean Hamden Mike Harrington Frank Hartnett Kathy Healy Barbara Henderson Helen Hennier Karen Henricks Mary Hess Joe Hickey Mike Hickey Mary Kay Hippman Pat Hofman Mike Holland Sylvia Hughes James Jones Loretta Jones Mary Jo Keith Sue Kellerman Mike Kempster Larry Kennaley Mike Kierst Mary Kirby Mike Kirby Karen Klieforth Marilyn Kostusik Sandra Knoche Joe Kraii Theresa La Gue Margaret Landes Pat Lanter Melvin Lavery Suzanne Le Breck Margaret Le Grand Barbara Leins Jerry Lemer Melinda Lohr Peggy Looker - 86 - Nancy Lysaught Margaret Ludwig Bill Lutz Gloria Lynch Barbara Lyons Mary Jo Me Aulay Nancy Me Avoy Pat Me Cabe Kathy Me Cabe Colleen Me Cormick Mike Me Cormick Michael Me Cary Rosemary Me Donnell John Me Mahon Tim Me Neeley Larry Maher Jim Mall Tom Mall Dick Maloney Eileen Manger Mary Anne Manuel Dave Martin Leslie May Sharon Mayerle Connie Mealey Clare Meier Suzanne Melton Cheryl Metz Mary Meyers Jim Milazzo Karen Miller Kathy Mohoney Dennis Mura Suzanne Murphy Bill Nees Susie Newbanks Mary Ann Newman Marty Nickels Patrick Normile Mary Pat O'Rourke Maurine O’Shea Nancy Owen Bill Pesek Ambrose Petree Caroline Phillips Fred Pinne Liliane Pintar Jean Purington Joan Purington Mary Raynor Ann Red linger Kathy Redman Pam Peiter Kathy Reynolds Mary Roach Mary Dean Robinson - 87 - Connie Roos Pat Ruckh Carol Rudloff Louis Ruebelman JoAnne Salzmane Elizabeth Sauer Bob Schumm Dennis Seitz Cheryl Sestrich Tom Setter Anne Sexton Ken Shannon Pam Shannon Jim Shaunty Carolyn Shonka Wolfgang Simon Linda Smithermier Judy Soenen John Stack Patti Stiles Denise Studwell Mike Stroth Pete Suess Marsha Sweeney Carroll Swift Tom Swortwood Judy Tank Anita Tobin Nancy Tremble Terry Ulses Rosemary Verstrate Bob Vickery John Wall Maureen Walsh Patti Ward Betty Wartman Jack Weiss Mike West Susie Wickersham Bob Wilier Gary Williams John Wisner Judy Wolski Craig Woodward Frances Wright Kathy Wurtenberger Tom Younger Martha Ziegelmeyer Mary Zillner Pam Zimmerman Rita Zipf Donald Snyder - 88 - The freshmen representatives, back row: Jeff Mork, Dennis Harris, Frank Wendl, Tom Zil lner, Don Fortin, Jim Egan.

Freshmen Twenty freshmen were elected in September to represent their class in the Student Council. These non-voting delegates participated in the discussions in order to learn the pro- cedures of the Student Council. After the first semester five voting delegates were chosen from the twenty non-voting delegates. These representatives served throughout the remain- der of the year.

It was a month marked with the initiation of another victorious football season, a season filled with the joys and heartbreaks of victory and defeat. Of course we were never actually defeated; not in the direct sense of the word- our spirit was always there. And it became more and more evident as the year slowly pro- gressed that Miege was showing itself just as well in the grandstand as on the playing field. Our Homecoming was the big event of October. Everyone participated in the building of the float and took an active interest in all the activities of this exciting weekend. The dance was a huge success and anxiety sharply mounted as the election of the Queen and her Attendants drew near. All eyes peered toward the stage as the five candidates and their es- corts gracefully climbed the stairs. Then silence suddenly overcame the audience as the final announcements were read: Fourth attend- ant, Pat Ackman; Third attendant, Mary Jeane Bartolac; Second attendant, Carole Pitnick; First attendant, Joyce Granquist; and Queen Jeanine Allen. Homecoming would not of course been complete without victory on the football field. Rosedale bowed to Miege 19-0, to complete a wonderful, memory filled weekend. With the football all too quickly ter- minating, all thoughts turned toward the basketball court. Not quite as successful as the football season but still permeated with the same enthusiasm and spirit, our basketball squad indeed came out victor- ious. Under the excellent leadership of Rich McGill, Student Council this year proved a tremendous success. The entire Student Body cheerfully supported and participated in school events sponsored by the Council. Dances, games, and stu- dent competition were just a few of the varied activities effectively carried out this - 95 - year by our Student Council. As the warm, fresh breeze of Spring buffeted the trees and bowed the grass student activity and anticipation was once again on the upswing. Nightly the sound of feet treading the cinder track could be heard as the track team began conditioning for the rapidly approaching season. The rattle of golf clubs also met the ear and harmonized with the glee and assorted noises stimulated by the spring days. Preparation for the Prom, course scheduling, and the high hopes of the com- ing vacation capped the activity of a year as the students entered the final quarter. The last weeks of school all too quick- ly disappeared and once again graduation was before us. However this time it was unique; unique in the sense that the Sen- ior Class of ’62 was the first to complete the four year curriculum at Bishop Miege. The hopes were now reality; the dreams, four years closer. Among the many activities this year, one of the most interesting was College Day. This was an event especially limited to seniors; and its purpose was to make available to the seniors different teachers and counselors and information about college life. It proved interesting and informative, and through this program college bound seniors were more prepared for their future schooling. - 96 - The Miegian Early Retreat Slated __ Blsh°p Mlcgc lllgh Mlsslon� Kans._Sept. 22,1961 Noted Priests To Give Conferences Students Nominate Class Officers Holds First Meetings Nominated for class offices at the first senior class meeting Sept. 7 were: president- Dave Fortin, Steve Murray, Dave Proffitt; vice-president- Rodney Vickery, Kathy De- Coursey, Pat Ackman; secretary- Joyce Granquist, Jeannine Allen, Kathy Dueber; treasurer- John Wheeler, Kathy Connor, I)an Furst; representatives- Terry Farrell, Ted Dickey, Don Bollard, Tom O’Connell, Tom Barry, Larry Alley, Terri Ruski, Gary Link, John Vanneman, Barbara Minnena.

Voting was by ballot. Freshmen Nominees To SC Meetings The freshman class will nominate 20 class members at their first meeting Sept. 28. These students will sit in on Student Coun- cil meetings during the first semester, but will have no vote. At the beginning of the second semester officers and representatives will be chosen from these 20 nominees, and when elected, will become members of Stu- dent Council. Junior and sophomore class meetings were Sept. 14 and 21 respectively. All class meetings will be held monthly. Sponsors of the classes are: seniors, Sr. Immaculata; juniors, Sr. Georgetta; soph- omores, Miss Bellinger; and freshmen, Sr. de Lourdes. Peggy Halloran Staff Statement The Miegian Staff of 1961-62 has as its primary objective the encouragement of stu- dent interest in all important events, whe- ther they pertain to school life, national or world affairs. All news will have a futuristic slant, and will consist of coming events as well as past happenings. The Miegian will be distributed every three weeks. This will enable us to print 11 issues, rather than the 8 issues as in past years. Enrollment Climbs This year’s count shows 833 Stags. Indi- vidual classes: seniors claim 150, juniors 161, sophomores 238, and freshmen 284. Corridors are bulging. Exchange Student Hails From France Chris Bouchez, exchange student at Miege, is a tall, blonde young man from Armentieres, France, a small town on the Franco-Belgjan border. He began his trip to the United States from the international students’ city, Frank- furt, Germany. From Frankfurt, he came to Washington, D. C., where he stayed for a week with other foreign exchange students. Then, some five weeks ago, he came to Kan- sas City, where he has been staying with sophomore Ed Daly. Chris has had in the past twelve years quite a heavy study course by American standards. He has studied geography, his- tory, religion, French, has taken physics, for 3 years, philosophy, Latin for 6 years, and Greek for 5 years. His school hours were from eight until twelve noon, and from two until seven in the evening. One hour a week was devoted to each of his languages. The students had a half-freeday on Thurs- day, and then worked through Saturday. In France, the students begin school at the age of four years. They begin in the twelfth grade and work up to the first, grad- uating with the equivalent of the twelve year American Plan. The boys and girls are separated until their last year of school, and boy-girl rela- tionships are frowned upon until after grad- uation. Chris feels that this helps them to work better. Contin. on pg. 7 Staff Contin. The paper will contain more material, as we shall use a new and smaller type. A “Club News” column will be included, so that all group activities student interest at Miege receive fair and equal news cover- age. 4 New Columns will seek the opinions of students and faculty members on pertinent topics. The ultimate success of a paper such as the Miegian depends upon its value in the minds of the readers. Any suggestions as to how the quality of the school publication may be improved, any comments or criti- cisms are welcome. They will be published in a letters to the Editor column. Retreat for Miege students is scheduled for October 9 and 10. Father Kurt and Fa- ther Stitz, both well-known speakers from this area, will be retreatmasters. Father Stitz, pastor at Sabetha, Kansas, will conduct the retreat for the Frosh and Sophs, and Father Kurt OFM will give the upperclassmen their retreat. Both have had wide experience with teenagers and are well known throughout the Midwest. Juniors and Seniors retreat will open Sun- day night, October 8, at St. Agnes Church, where all retreat conferences and Masses will be held. Boys will wear coats and ties. Girls are required to wear uniforms. In Memoriam Faculty and students extend their sym- pathy to the Smagiel family on the death of Vickie Sue. Vickie, freshman at Miege, died Sept. 10 at KU Medical Center of in- juries suffered when she ran into the side of a truck while crossing Metcalf Avenue in Overland Park. Vickie began school at Miege August 31, freshman orientation day; her last day to attend was Friday, Sept. 8. She was also at the Mixer which the Student Council spon- sored the evening of the same date to wel- come freshmen to school. The Smagiel family moved to Overland last year, but Vickie’s eight years of grade school were at St. Agnes. Since East German armored vehicles have started using water hoses as weapons, our boys have been equipped with bars of soap to lessen the shower lines on Saturday nights. -97- Sditorial Ignorance-National Suicide “We can’t defend what we don’t understand.” This thought provoking challenge was spoken by Dr. Albert E. Burke, a lecturer on the TV show “A Way of Think- ing.” Dr. Burke spoke these words after an extensive study in which he was appalled at the lack of know- ledge of the majority of American students concerning democracy and communism. Dr. Burke believes that “the future of our kind of freedom depends on how well we explain ourselves to others and to ourselves.” Today, in an atmosphere of ever spreading com- munistic ideas, ignorance of what our country stands for could lead to national suicide. We must be able to understand and express the philosophies of demo- cracy, described by Burke as the most dynamic, ex- citing, and stimulating of all ideas.” We must also be able to express the purpose and policies of our coun- try. Concerning our adversary-communism, we must be equally informed. We should know the theories behind communism to prevent it from destroying democracy. In Russia, a small group holds supreme power, but in a democracy, the citizens hold the political power—and we, as citizens have a responsibility to use it. The citizens of our country know the evils of com- munism, but often through lack of knowledge, the un- informed will extend the label of “communist” indis- criminately to those whose views differ from the ma- jority of their own. We cannot attribute every adver- sity to communism. It is illogical, and could easily lead to needless fear. Today’s high school students are not too young to study the menace of communism. Nor are they too young to shoulder the responsibilities of democracy. Students can find answers concerning democracy and communism through such educational TV shows as “A Way of Thinking.” In a recent article it was J. Edgar Hoover who said this of communism: “The way to fight it is to study it, understand it, and discover what can be done about it. This cannot be achieved by dawdling at the spring of knowledge; it can only be accomplished by dipping deeply into thoughtful, reliable, and authoritative sources of information.” je(j Ree Where do we fit in? Who can act as either the instigator of social riots or as the leaven of humanization! Who can lay claim to both the responsibility of eradicating racial preju- dice and to the buoyancy of blitheful football victories? Who else- but the student? Yes, we are the students who can count on one hand those individuals classify- ing all teenagers as juvenile delinquents and who can never be fully aware of people like Enid Haugh editor and publisher of “Seventeen” magazine, who has said, “We’re. . .prouder than we could possibly say, of you.” As youth we have an enthusiasm, a wholesome zest, a thing too precious to be defined and yet too deviat- ing, too unpredictable to ever be lost entirely. It is something which can dip us far into the depths of mel- ancholy or spark an indifferent adult to talk, action, and results. This more often than not causes him to reminisce over years past and say, “They’re the best years of your life.” And we probably retort with a bor- ed “Yah, I know.” But do we know? Unlike Mr. Blue, we have no $1500 dollar bills to let sail on balloons; but we do love this life of ours, even though we say we’re not anxious to get back to school and begin again another grind. Any institution of learning can be described as a multitude of things. School as we know it is a way of channeling our ambi- tion, while we keep in mind that the student life is a way of life. It is co-redemption with Christ of this be- draggled, belligerent world brought through hard work and the acceptance of seemingly unneeded disciplines and curricula. Here, let’s hope we eventually learn not to want truth for the sake of truth, nor good fun for the sake of fun but to package all of these in a search for God. Now is the time to preserve and better what we have and to reach out for that which we don’t, in both the scholastic and spiritual realms, perhaps through som- ber goals - “I’ll make myself say a daily rosary” - and maybe by bantam ones-“This year I will not lock Sally in her locker overnight.” Susan Roche The Dangerous Fallacy In 1861 began what is undoubtedly the greatest single blot on the history of our nation. Thousands of men died in attacking and defending the principle of racial equality. Theoretically, the war liberated former slaves and gave them a status equal to that of other citizens. An expanse of 100 years has not erased from American minds the deep and irrational prejudices which brought the great tragedy. In a nation which guarantees equal opportunity under law, members of minority groups do not enjoy all the basic freedoms possessed by others. A number of today’s citizens are hard put to find a reason for Ame- rica’s decline in world prestige. Russian space achievements and Ame- rica diplomatic mistakes, though important, are not basically respon- sible. The obvious fallacy in our democracy witnessed many times in the South must accept a large part of the blame. An African Com- munist may point with contempt at the incidents which have occurred in our Southern cities. “These are the civil rights you will possess in a democracy. These are the freedoms you will enjoy.” In a battle of any kind, each contestant seeks the defeat or destruc- tion of his opponent. As democracy fights the battle of ideas with com- munism, is it wise to supply the enemy with ammunition? The persons now attending our schools will soon shoulder the re- sponsibilities of government. Let us work earnestly for the dignity of the individual and the continuation of our free system.

Sister follows Mr. Ray Moritz who resigned from this position last spring so that he might devote his entire time to teach- ing. Sister Georgetta stated that she wishes the students to know that if they have any questions regarding careers, college, or scho- larship tests, that they can find her in the guidance office after school, or before school they may make an appointment to see her. She said that if she is not available at the time, the student may leave a note with his homeroom teacher to be delivered to her. Tests To Be Administered When asked about class tests, Sister re- plied that the freshmen will take scholastic aptitude tests in October and a reading test sometime during the year. The sophomore test schedule is still somewhat tentative. The juniors may take the National Merit Qualifying Test during the second semester at a date to be announced later. If any jun- ior wishes to take an interest examination to help him learn his vocation, he may make an appointment with Sister Georgetta. Sen- iors will be notified of college entrance exam- inations, or they may watch the bulletin board by the guidance office for this infor- mation, Sister added. Sister continued to say that it is the de- sire of the guidance department to admin- ister achievement and scholastic aptitude tests to all students during their four years of high school. These tests will be kept on file for the Miege records. Kathy Connor Wheeler Ranks High In UN Competition Out of 2000 entries from Kansas alone, John Wheeler tied with his sister, Clare, and four other students for a third place ranking in the United Nations Contest spon- sored by the American Association for the United Nations. His paper was sent to the national contest in New York where 3000 entries from around the U.S. had qualified. It went on to place in the top 100. As an entrant in the contest which was open to all senior high students, John was required to take a 3-hour exam comprised of 2£ hours of essay questions and one-half hour of objective questions. John was offered $1,000 to help finance a $5,000 month tour around the world, but declined. In addition to the honor which this gave to John, the UN sponsors awarded a year’s subscription of the “UNESCO Courier” to the school library in his name. New Subjects Added To Miege Curriculum This year Miege has added two new courses to its curriculum-communication arts, taught by Sister Georgetta, and note- hand, taught by Miss Murphy. The twofold purpose for the study of com- munication arts is to learn how to commun- icate more effectively with one another, and to acquire a better retention of classwork covered. Reading, listening, speaking, and writing are the four topics stressed. After mastering the course, students should pos- sess skills that will help them attain a fuller school life. Notehand, which is not being taught until the second semester, enables students to prepare for college. It is a combination of longhand and shorthand and deals with pre- paration for taking notes and doing research. W'ith the know-ledge gained, students will be able to work more efficiently. During the war some soldiers came upon a fallen statue of the Sacred Heart lying in the ruins of a demolished church. They re- placed this certain statue on its pedestal but then they noticed that the hands had been knocked off. Vainly they tried to re- place the hands in some way. They found that impossible. . .but then, one soldier had an idea. They made a plaque on which was written these words, “I have no hands but yours.” This thought was put as a challenge be- fore the YCSer’S present at the National Study Week held at St. Benedict’s College, August 21 to 25. Julie Ladesic and Mary LuDoll were Miege representatives. To Restore all things to Christ The Young Christian Students is a move- ment among the students working on a na- tion-wide basis to restore all things to Christ. The Study Week dealt with the topics of Parish, Neighborhood, and School, which are the areas to be acted upon this year. Evaluation of the movement by the mem- bers themselves, took place. The importance of YCS as part of the lay apostolate was emphasized. The students discovered the aim of the lay apostolate must be to see the image of Christ in all, for only this will maintain their enthusiasm and dedication throughout the years. Students Active in Projects The days were divided into speeches, gen- eral conferences, small-group work, recrea- tion, and active participation in the liturgy of the Mass. All of these activities brought the goal of national unity into reality for these delegates, at least. Elections on the 24th climaxed the lively campaigning for chairman and the secretary- treasurer of National representatives. Greg Cusack and Leavenworth’s Marcia Lohman bowed out to the new officers Bob King of Davenport and Michele Trufillo of Lousiana. Julie Ladesic Mary Lu Doll Who is who? The one on the left is Julie Dold who won the Jackie-Look-Alike Contest sponsored by KMBC this summer. Her close resemblance to the First Lady won her a one- hundred dollar savings bond. -99- CLUBS Scouts Merit Awards Terry Alley of troop 195, freshman, re- ceived the Eagle Scout Award Thursday evening, August 10 at St. Agnes Church. He is a senior patrol leader and has been a scout for six years. Monsignor Herman J. Koch made the presentation and Father Henry Forge gave the Sermon. A reception was held in the school cafeteria after the cere- mony. Four other boys from troop 195, Don For- tin, Bill Kee, Mike Kelly, and Dennis Abeel, went before the board of review on Sept. 13. They will receive their Eagle later this fall if they meet requirements. Student Council Explained Progress will be the main objective of this year’s Student Council. We have planned much and we feel we will best accomplish our goals by acquainting you, the student of Miege, with our plans and purposes. This year we shall revive the system of class officers. The duty of a class officer will be the organization of his own respective class and the channelling of his class’s views and opinions into the Student Council. Each class president will have a seat in the Stu- dent Council, while other class officers will not. Each class will also be allotted five class representatives in the Student Council. These representatives will relay informa- tion about Student Council discussions to their classes. Another New Student Council program will be an installation of this year’s officers. The program is to be held in the latter part of October. We sincerely hope that you will co-operate with all our new programs and give them your full support. Rich McGill, Student Council president Nine New Teachers at Miege New faculty members for this school year include: Reverend Richard Etzel, Reverend Norbert Lickteig, and Reverend Frank Krische; Sister Roberta, and Sister Ray- mond; Mr. B. J. Arensberg, Mr. Patrick Dalton, Mr. Robert Frazier, and Mr. Eu- gene Salmans. Father Etzel, assistant at Queen of the Holy Rosary parish, teaches religion III; Father Krische, assistant at St. Agnes Par- ish, religion I; and Father Lickteig, assistant at Holy Name Parish, religion II. Sister Roberta, who in the past has taught at St. Agnes High, teaches English IV, speech, and debate. Sister Raymond, who for the past two years was principal at St. Agnes Grade School, teaches Latin II, III, and IV. A graduate from St. Benedict’s, Mr. Fra- zier is the new algebra II and trig teacher; he is also varsity football coach. Mr. Sal- mans is teaching American History. Before graduating from St. Mary of the Plains in Dodge City, he visited almost every major city in Europe while in the service, Mr. Dal- ton, when asked what he thought of Miege, replied, “I’m prejudiced because I attended St. Agnes.’’ Mr. Dalton teaches English I and Latin I. Mr. Arensberg teaches general math and algebra. STAGLINES During the summer: Two seniors, Diane Smith and Judy Weis, plus four former graduates, Jim Knez, Mike Bell, Larry Bohon, and Bill DeCoursey, were counselors at the camp for deaf children from Olathe which was held at Ursuline. Terry Farrell was a counselor at Swope Park’s Lake of the Woods Camp for cerebral palsy victims. Each counselor was in charge of one person ranging from the age of eight to thirty-seven years. Peggy Gaines, a nurse’s aide at St. Mary’s Hospital, assisted with surgical patients. As a result of her experience, she and nine other The Math Club was last year for the first time admitted to the Mu Alpha Theta na- tional math association. Because of this change in stature the organization has plan- ned some new arrangements for this year. There will be in the club two divisions: the math involved can be dealt with more easily when students taking the same math sub- jects are organized together. One division will be made up of sophomores and one of juniors and seniors. The full membership in the Math Club is limited to the second divi- sion because of the requirements of the Mu Alpha Theta association. To be eligible for full membership a stu- dent must maintain a B average in his stu- dies collectively and a B average in Math. The student must also have taken two courses in math and be taking a third course. The requirements for associate member- ship in the sophomore division state that a student must maintain a B average in math, have completed one year of math, and be taking a second year of math. Everyone can belong to the math club but only full mem- bers can vote on national policies. The officers elected last year for this year’s duties are: Jed Kee - president, Don Bollard - vice-president; Rich McGill - trea- surer; and Marcia Crawford - secretary. The club is planning field trips and inviting top speakers as a part of this year’s activities. CLUB NEWS The Friends of the Library is a new or- ganization formed with the aid of Sister Ju- liana to enlist the help of mothers of stu- dents in assisting with work in the library and in bringing more reading to more stu- dents. The co-ordinators of this club are; Mrs. Harold E. Davidson, Mrs. W. L. Al- ley, Mrs. John W. Zuttermeister, Mrs. Paul F. Scardello, Mrs. Wm. F. Roche, and Mrs. Marguerite M. Feren. Through a series of Book Rallies and coffees beginning on May 9, many mothers have given time and effort to improve the library. Through their do- nations 13 reference works were purchased including a 1961 World Book and an eleven volume Dictionary of American Biography. girls accompanied by three nuns, visited St. Louis and toured several of the big hospitals icluding Glennon Children’s Hospital. Mrs. Hugo, and the cafeteria personnel have expressed a desire to let the students know that they are happy to be back among them this year. Mrs. Sally Lenihan has join- ed the cafeteria staff. Mrs. Hugo also reports that the group had their first injury in cafe- teria this month. One of the ladies bruised a toe when a steel divider fell on it. However, she is back at work now. - 100 - Swimmers Succeed By Mike Grady Two boys here at Miege, Jack Hove and Bill Doeren, have shown great devotion to an athletic, competitive pasttime. For the past few years Jack and Bill, now 16 and 14 years old respectively, have worked in ear- nest toward success in a sport they both en- joy. Swimming, they find, affords many ad- vantages such as a realistic sense of self- assurance and an intimate knowledge of ones capabilities and limitations. Bill com- mented that he especially enjoys the indi- viduality of the sport, and the feeling of in- dependence and personal satisfaction ex- perienced with each win. “Success, Jack added, is determined en- tirely by the amount and quality of a swim- mer’s work. Success or failure is exactly equalled by the swimmer’s effort.’’ When conversation turned from the gen- eral to the personal there was a moment of silence, a nervous shuffling of books and the rattled thump, thump of an eraser a- gainst a desk top. When asked, “How about this summer Jack? Any future plans, Bill?” Jack shrugged his shoulders, coughed, and then ventured that he had acquired a few new medals and ribbons. Bill smiled sheep- ishly and said, “me too.” “How about the Junior Olympics this summer, Jack?” “Short course or long course?” he asked. Bill smiled and explained that every sum- mer two Junior Olympic meets are held: one, (the short course) in a twenty-five yard pool; the other, (long course) in a fifty yard pool. Jack ventured that he got away with first in the 50, 100 and 200 yard free-style events in short course and first in the 100, 200, and 400 yard freestyle events in long course. Bill questioned as to his luck said, “Oh, nothing special; just third in the 200 yard free (freestyle).” In the City Cham- pionship at Brookridge, Jack was the 1961 city champ in the 50, 100, and 200 meter freestyle events. While swimming in the 13 and 14 year old division Bill won the 100 meter free and took second in the 50 and the 200 meter freestyle events. During summer competition both boys swim at Homestead Country Club. To be considered successful at Homestead is to be considered successful any place in the city, and at Homestead these boys are tops. Jack Hove, year after year has walked off with the “High Point” trophy. Similarly Bill Doeren finished a great 1960 season at Fair- way pool and was awarded their “High Point” trophy. Jack’s efficiency in the Homestead waters is further shown by his possession of the pool records in the 50, 100 and 200 yard freestyles. Bill, who hopes to attend the state meet next spring if pos- sible, has placed himself in this competition class with times of 25.8 and 59.2 in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle (long course) respec- tively. Bill’s personal hope as regards swim- ming is to follow to whatever extent he can Jack’s footsteps toward greater success. Jack, now 16, has well established himself as a great swimmer throughout the state and the country. He is known in Kansas as the quiet, good-natured little guy who, as a sophomore, walked all over the greatest Jun- ior-Senior competition in the state. Not only was he unbeatable in overall High School competition but he rewrote the books set- ing two state records in the 50 and 100 yard frees. His tremendous stroke, his lash- ing kick, and his split second turns pushed him to record times of 23.3 and 51.6 in the twenty-five yard pool. Thus was the picture last spring. Not only had Jack humbled all high school competition but now began to pick on the college boys. The men’s Nation- al A. A. U. Championships at Los Angeles this August saw Jack Hove wading right through some of the toughest competition in the country. Reaching the rank of 27th out of ninety entries in the 100 meter free and 32nd out of eighty-two in the 200 meter free surprised no one present-except Jack. ’61 Exchange Student Writes From Panama Daniel Atencio, last year’s foreign ex- change student at Bishop Miege, experienc- ed an interesting journey back to his native Panama. Leaving Kansas City’s Union Sta- tion at 6:30 on the morning of June 30, Daniel endured a lengthy train ride to Wash- ington, D.C. Highlighting a ten-day stay in the nation’s capital was a trip with one hundred forty-three other exchange students to the White House. Following their stay in Washington, Dan- iel and the other students stopped for a few days in New York City, taking in such tour- ist attractions as Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building, and the Statue of Liberty. Daniel returned to Panama on July 17. Since his arrival home he has spent much of his time visiting friends and relatives whom he has not seen in over a year. To his friends here in the United States, Daniel says, “I miss you all,” but the voice of the weary traveller is heard in our Pana- ma friend as he sighs, “How sweet it is to re- turn home! Paul Keenan (junior) Seniors Hold First Meeting - Nominate Officers Quizlims by Steve Murray To the question, “What is your general impression of high school?” which was asked of some of the freshmen at random, some of the answers were: I think all the teach- ers and the school are really sharp. All the rest of the seniors, juniors, and sopho- mores have treated me wonderfully. I really enjoy the changing of classes, because that makes the day more interesting. Jim Shauberger I enjoy the school and its surroundings fairly well. All the teachers are good, especially Mr. Dalton. I think that if the rest of the year is like the beginning, it will be great! Rick Best I like the school and teachers I have, espe- cially Mr. Hill. Every- one I’ve met so far is very friendly. John Puhr I like high school better than grade school, first of all, be- cause Miege seems to have a lighter atmos- phere than grade school, because of the changing of classes, and because we have a chance to take dif- ferent and interesting subjects, such as alge- bra. So far, Miege doesn’t seem too much like school. David Hartis I like Miege a whole lot. I think all the kids are really nice. I think all my teachers are swell, especially Sister Georgetta. Susan Duggins Boys’ State Events Recalled By Stags by Dave Fortin Government and its functionings can be and are vastly more interesting and exten- sive than the average citizen knows. This was well learned this summer, when, as Miege’s representatives to Sunflower Boys’ State, Jed Kee and I found ourselves en- gaged in its activities. Government is more than something to be studied and forgotten; it is more than just occasionally casting a vote. Government is something that should be important to every citizen. Each state sets up a summer “Boys State,” which functions just as its sponsoring state with all its offices and activities. Citizens of Boys’ State are from the entire state, and are chosen after their junior year by the fac- ulty on a basis of leadership. These “staters” assemble in their respective states for a week of operating their own state govern- ment. Upon arriving at Sunflower Boys’ State, Jed and I found ourselves caught up in a week busier than any we have ever exper- ienced. Our first afternoon at Wichita West High School was spent setting up our cots in our cities. The halls of the school were divided up and designated into various cit- ies, each of which naturally developed an intense rivalry for all other cities. Most important the first few days, of course, were the state elections. Campaign material flooded every stater’s bunk day and night. With 520 fellows all running for of- Alumni by Kathy Dueber Wedding bells were ringing loud, long, and frequently this summer for some of the esteemed alumni. The parade started off when: Miss Rachael Gutierrez (’60) said “I do” to Mr. Robert Kelley on June 7 at Queen of the Holy Rosary Church, Overland Park. Miss Mary Inez Harrison (’57) was mar- ried to Mr. Stephen A. Ziller at St. Agnes Church on August 12. Miss Geraldine Heilman (’60) and Valen- tine Fernandez exchanged vows on August 26 at St. Agnes Church. Mr. Fernandez is originally from Hawaii and is now stationed at Richards Gebaur Air force Base. Miss Patricia Glenn (’60) and Mr. Richard Passman were married on September 2 at Queen of the Holy Rosary Church. Miss Nancy Laudick (’57) and Mr. Mich- ael Ferkenhoff (’59) were also married on September 2 at St. Agnes. Eight graduates from the Class of ’61 en- tered religious life this summer: Misses Judy Arnold, Pat Driscoll, Kathy - 102- fices, one can imagine the amount of pro- paganda. Jed and I, both staunch members of the Federalist Party, were fortunate enough to be elected to the offices of Coun- ty Attorney, and State Senator, respectively. The remainder of our week was spent in constant activity. Team sports against other cities, marching drills, classes in government, and above all political activities including Senate meetings, sessions of court, and in- numerable legal disputes kept us constantly busy. An elaborate Governor’s Ball high- lighted the week. Boys’ State was truly the experience of a lifetime. The interest in one’s country and government generated by such a venture will be a powerful force in the future, and the friendships made will be something to re- member always. News Holland, Joanne Holtzman, Margaret Lane, Kathy McCarthy, and Karen Smith entered the Ursuline Convent in Paola on July 16. Annette Penhallegon returned to Baltimore, Maryland where she entered the Sisters of Mercy on September 8. Mary Ann Lambour, a graduate of ’60, student nurse at Providence Hospital, is en- tering a nationwide “Sew-it-yourself” wool contest, sponsored by American Wool Cor- poration. Miss Judith Ann Crawley (’59) has re- cently received the wings of a Trans-World Airlines hostess and is flying scenic routes throughout the nation. Her base is Kansas City. Miss Pat Barry (’59) is hostess for the Braniff International Airways. Nick Corrado (’61) received the Evans Scholarship, awarded him by Western Golf Association. It is a four year, renewable scholarship, including full tuition, room and board. Nick will use the scholarship at K.U., where he will major in either a pre-law course or in political science. DEBATORS FACE NEW RESOLVE “Resolved: that the federal government should equalize educational opportunity by means of grants to the states for public ele- mentary and secondary education.” This is the question which challenges the debate squad for this year. However, the team has increased its numbers over those of its pre- vious year. Back for their year of debate and form- ing the nucleus of the squad are: Don Bol- lard, Ted Dickey, Dan Furst, Jed Kee, Rich Me Gill, and John Wheeler. Experienced debators returning are: Mary Koob, Mike Grady and Kathy Johnson. Novice debators and new to this activity and eager for their first tournament are: John Chase, Fat Clifford, Ed Hammond, Shirley Johnson, Susan Roche. Janet Rub- in, Mary Sue Scardello, Mike Thoennes, Ann Winsky, John Wisner and Eileen Wy- cherly. The squad is to be honored with Sr. Ro- berta, the new coach for this season. Sr. Roberta hails from Bishop Me Guinness High School in Oklahoma City. She has had ten years of experience in teaching debate and her dynamic personality will do much for the team. There is a brilliant year in the planning for our debate squad as we plan to enter as many tournaments as we are eligible. Miege is also scheduling its own tournament for experienced debators December 1st and 2nd. The season will then be closed with the in- tramural debates. Exchange Student Contin. When Chris was studying English, he had to stand with his hands clasped behind his back, so that he would speak like an English or American man—without gestures. Chris was selected from a graduating class of thirty in a school of 600. One other stu- dent wanted to go, but when the time came for their principal to announce who would go, Chris had been chosen. He then took an “easy” exam to be sure of his English. When it comes to social arrangements, the young people must go in groups most of the time. This period of group dating lasts from the time the students are fourteen un- til they are eighteen. Their parents, how- ever, are much more lenient in regard to curfews. When asked what he thought of Ameri- can girls, Chris replied that he thought they were much freer and more sophisticated than French girls. He said that French girls are not allowed to date until they are six- teen. Chris has five older brothers and one younger sister. He plans to stay in the Unit- ed States until next July when he will re- turn to France and prepare for college. Elaine Hunter Class News In the classrooms: Sister Raymond, former principal of St. Agnes Grade School, is Miege’s new Latin teacher. After being out of the classroom for two years, Sister says that it’s wonderful to be back teaching again. Her classes are held in the former Foods Lab, from which tempt- ing aromas used to issue forth into the halls. One boy, just a little curious as to the acti- vities going on in the lab, went past the first day with the comment, “Wonder what's cooking in there?” Perhaps eager minds boiling with enthusiasm! Algebra students under Mr. Arensburg and religion students under Father Drische, find both these courses to be mentally stim- ulating; both involve much thought, rea- soning, and concentration. Sister deLourdes in her third year at Bis- hop Miege is again teaching material from an entirely new book. The text, a new edi- tion of “Using Latin provides an interest- ing and informative presentation of the lan- guage. Colored photographs with Latin stor- ies provide the student with translation practice as well as a view into the customs of the ancient Romans. The book follows closely a pattern used in a Latin workshop course which Sister attended at St. Louis University this summer. The third and sixth hour general math classes instructed by Sister Pauline are dis- covering the science of modern mathematics. Immediate attention is focused on the bi- nary system and future instruction will en- tail the study of “sets” and Venn Diagrams. Mr. Fraziers senior class will in the near future be given homework that will include exercises in Boolean algebra and various other phases of advanced math. Sr. Dolores is this year teaching General Business and typing. Typing students now look down from the heights of the third floor band room where classes are taught be- cause of the increased enrollment in the class. 15 new typewriters and specially de- signed desks provide for these additional students. Advertisements are being critical- ly examined and the system of free enter- prise is being looked into by the General Business students this year. As the year pro- gresses, they plan to study banking, invest- ments, insurance and a number of other in- teresting topics. Sister Stephen, English II and III, and Art I and II, stated that all English teach- ers have introduced a dictation exercise which gives students a practical application of grammar principles. Her accelerated soph- omore and junior classes are having a re- search program which deals with authors and their lives. In the art department, Sister is proud of the new kiln which will enable students to make bigger and better cera- mics. The second year art students will con- centrate on making oil paintings; they will be required to do three. Sister is exhibiting some of her own art work at the Plaza Art Fair on Sept. 28, 29, and 30. Stags Assured Victory by Vigorous Cheerleaders Exhibiting vim, vigor, and initiative, Nan- cy Cody and Ju Ju Barnard were the two freshmen girls chosen on Sept. 8, to join the squad of able cheerleaders. New cheers and cheerleading skills which are executed this year were acquired from the Cheerleader Clinic held at Southwest High School on August 21. Cheerleaders who attended from Miege were; Pat Ack- man, Andy Kemp, Paula Heilman, Leslie Spurck, Mary Fuchs, and Margaret Steele. The Clinic lasted only one day, but this one day proved to be very beneficial. In addition to supporting the team from the sidelines, the Miege Pep Club will spon- sor a “kick-off” dance mixer after the game with Rockhurst on September 15. The pro- ceeds of this mixer will go to the Student Council. With the leadership and motivation of the Pep Club officers: Jeanine Allen, presi- dent; Mary Jean Bartolac, Vice-president; Carol MacAvoy, treasurer; and Mary Koob, secretary; and with the continued interest and support of the Miege student body we will spur the Miege stags on to victory. J A Assembly Held The sixth Junior Achievement program to be offered high school students of Great- er Kansas City will open around October 16. The purpose of Junior Achievement is to provide a pre-business experience for stu- dents and all activity is conducted in spare time. With the aid of volunteer business men and women the students are permitted to organize a junior corporation and select a product or service to be manufactured and sold on the local market. Students are con- cerned with financing the enterprise through a sale of stock, election of corporate officers, payment of rent, wages and salaries, and during the eight-month life of the corpora- tion are confronted with most problems of business. A Junior Achievement program was held on Sept. 19. Class News Contin. Mr. Byard’s science class is collecting, mounting, and identifying rocks from cer- tain areas. His biology class is also collect- ing, but for them it’s leaves. Maybe the bugs will be invaded next! Students in Father Wright’s religion classes are seeing the many facets of the Catholic Church and how great and power- ful it is. Father is presenting religion in a way that brings out interesting and contro- versial points. Seniors in Sisters Roberta and Immacu- latas English classes have been observing things from the mouse’s point of view. They have been concentrating on description as presented in the grammar book newly adopt- ed this year, Planned Writing. Research papers are looming in the near future. THEOREM With this first edition of The Miegian and consequently this being my first effort at writing for this current school year, 1 would like to take this opportunity to say a few things. First of all, I would like to thank you for this honor of being a columnist for your paper. It is my intention to do my best; sometimes you will wonder, but I’m trying. Secondly, nothing that is to be said in this column from henceforth is to be taken ser- iously. [Except a few choice words about things like coaches.) Actually, the reason that I mention this is that I’m tired of get- ting nasty letters with blackhands and other designs on them, and dodging beakers of acid. I would like to begin with some comments on that maiming sport called football. It’s a universally loved sport, loved by sadists and half-wits alike. Actually the only thing uni- versal about the deal is that it gives every one an equal opportunity to get hurt. I think that if we were to elect captains again, a fellow named “Loomis” would be a sure winner. Let me explain to you who Loomis is. Good ole Loomis lives in one of those houses that has its back to the football field. Each evening, with almost deft tim- ing, Loomis and his many brothers, sisters, accomplices, and friends just happen to be at the end of the practice field when prac- tice is over. In their possession are a dozen or so containers filled with ice water. At that moment, Loomis is Kennedy, Khrushev, Nehru, Queen Elizabeth, and the House of Representatives all rolled into one. Nobody, and I repeat NOBODY, is more important. This is all going to be fine until good ole Mr. Loomis gets his water bill. Then watch out! Coach Byard, always trying to provide ample “entertainment” for his boys during practices, has outdone himself this time. “Simon Legree,” as he is amicably called by the boys, has purchased a new toy. It’s cal- led a sled. He has invented many new games for use of this thing. One real simple game is played in this fashion. Two volunteers are “chosen.” They then must push this “thing” across the field. A comparable feat would be to place the Queen Mary in the middle of the Sahara Desert and tell someone to push it into the Mediterranean. This year we have on the team a fine group of junior backs who double as a sing- ing group. They have a wonderful selection of songs and entertain the team in the lock- er room after every practice. The boys would like very much for a chance to sing their songs to Sister Marie Therese. Maybe they could even cut a record. Gold Slips Past Blue The intra-squad game of Sat. Sept. 9 was a battle superior ability pitted against su- perior spirit. In the end the ability won out in the form of recovered fumbles, intercepted passes, and penalties; and gave the Gold a wide margin of victory over the Blue. De- spite the fact that it spent a majority of the game on defense, the Blue squad never lost its spirit. The Blue offense gave the Gold team the ball within the 10 yard line 3 times for 3 scores. Never in the game did the Gold team make more than 2 first downs in a row, while, on spirit alone, the Blue team twice moved the ball more than fifty yards without relinquishing control. The only hope we have for a successful season is that the first team absorb some of the Blue team’s spirit along with their ability. This would make a truely unbeatable combination. John Wheeler Sports Editor Tonight we face De La Salle, considered by many to be better than Rockhurst. Per- haps the extra week of practice will pull us through. I think so. Freshman Mixer Held Crowds overflowed the cafeteria the night of September 8 as the “Meet the Freshmen” mixer got under way. Climaxing a week of being reacquainted with school- work, the dance was a welcome aid to get- ting to know the new students. Sponsored by the Student Council in honor of the freshmen, the arrangements for the mixer were under the direction of Sister Roberta. Rockhurst 6 Miege 2 Despite the presence of that much-needed team spirit, Miege went down to defeat at the hands of Rockhurst 6 to 2. The game can be divided into two parts-the part in which Rockhurst dominated and the part in which Miege dominated. Rockhurst, with the benefit of two weeks extra practice, completely dominated during the first quar- ter, being stopped twice by penalties and finally scoring. The third time they got pos- session of the ball. The touchdown play, a lateral from Jim Whittacre to Pat Rapp after Whittacre had run over thirty yards covered thirty-seven yards. After this Rock- hurst was through. The try for the extra point was the only play during which the Rockhurst offense was within the Miege thirty-five yard line. After this Rockhurst never again scored, penetrated the Miege de- fense, or had two successive first downs. Just as Rockhurst dominated the first quarter, so did Miege dominate the second, third, and fourth. Although Rockhurst’s de- fense was described as “stern” by the Kan- sas City Star, the Miege offense, after stum- bling through the first quarter, turned into a well-oiled machine, and punched holes in this defense. Four times the ball was moved steadily down the field; four times the twen- ty yard line was penetrated; four times Miege received a fifteen yard penalty and failed to score. Once Dave Bussjaeger ac- tually was in the end zone so futilely guard- ed by this stern defense, only to have his run nullified by a fifteen yard penalty. One of these trips was not fruitless as, after giv- ing up the ball on downs, Miege was given a safety by a bad center on a punt, but this was not enough. Loose arm tackling was the only chink in the Miege armor as the defense put on a stellar display of skill after the first quarter. Timing was the only draw' back in the of- fense and improved as the game progressed. John Wheeler Sports Editor - 104 - No. 2 Oct. 13, 1961 The Miegian Two Semifinalists In National Merit As a result of the National Merit Scholar- ship Qualifying Test administered during early spring of last year, two seniors, Dave Fortin and John Wheeler were scored in the top one percent of all high school juniors who took the test. Lat- er results were disclos- ed last week placing these two boys in the top 1 3 of one percent. This means that they are numbered among the approximately top 10.000 students in the John Wheeler United States and are semi-finalists in the contest for scholar- ships given by the Na- tional Merit Scholar- ship Corporation. For both Dave and John there is a possibility of a $ 1 5 0 0 s cholar- ship. The results of the tests were sent to the two colleges of their choice. For Dave, it is Notre Dame and Stanford, and for John, Harvard and Stanford. The winners of National Merit Scholar- ships are chosen by a selection committee composed of college admissions and second- ary school officials. In making their judg- ments, selection committee members evalu- ate test scores, high school grades, evidences of creativity, demonstrated qualities of lead- ership, extracurricular activities, school and community citizenship, and other data made available by the student and his school. Last year the ratio nationally for this test was one scholarship for every 286 stu- dents. However, Miege has produced one scholarship for every 75 students. The en- tire student body expresses their congratu- lations to these two seniors who have repre- sented and been a credit to their school.

Bishop Miege High School - Mission, Kansas NHS Holds Installation of New Members- Student Council Officers presented On Tuesday, October 3, Miege’s National Honor Society and Student Council welcomed this year’s new members and officers. The National Honor Society installation began with a short introduc- tion by Sister Stephen, moderator. Next, a speech by chapter president Dan Furst out- lined the nature and purpose of the organi- zation. The four basic qualities of Charac- ter, Leadership, Service and Scholarship, which every member must possess, were explained by Jed Kee, Rich McGill, John Wheeler and Dave Fortin, respectively. Candidates Receive Membership Pins Father Sullivan then administeied the pledge of induction and presented the fol- lowing candidates with their National Hon- or Society membership pins.

Murphy, John Harris, Pat Schultz, Barbara Walsh. Rich Me Gill conducted this first meeting. Sr. de Lourdes, freshman sponsor, welcomed the freshman. Highlight of the installation was an ad- dress by Mr. Jerome Clifford, prominent business leader and a member of the first graduating class at St. Agnes High School. Some of the main points mentioned by the speaker were the roles of the Catholic lay- man and student in society, and the goals of today’s Catholic youth. Sister Stephen closed the program on a note of challenge, as she urged all under- classmen to work arduously toward member- ship in the Society. Student Council Officers Installed Sister Roberta, Student Council Modera- tor, began part two of the ceremony with the installation of the Council’s four prin- cipal officers. Badges of rank were given to President Rich McGill, Vice-president Mike Grady, Secretary Mary Dwyer, and Trea- surer Gary Rollheiser. In addition, Rich re- ceived his gavel of authority, Mary was given her minutes book, and Gary was pre- sented with his ledger. New President McGill then awarded Stu- dent Council membership pins to the follow- ing students: Pep Club president Jeannine Allen, Miegian Editors Dan Furst and Jed Kee, Exchange student Chris Bouchez, class presidents: Dave Fortin, senior; Rusty Scholtes, junior; and Kenneth Shannon, sophomore. Also inducted were the class representatives, whose names appear on page one of this issue. Father Sullivan, principal, concluded the ceremony with an invocation of God's bles- sings upon the work to be undertaken by this year’s Student Council. Editor's note: Also installed were a Par- liamentarian and the President of the Let- termen’s club. Their names are not listed because they were elected after this issue went to press. Editorials The Question of Berlin Rod Vickery The Berlin issue is undoubtedly the most important crisis in the cold war since Korea. Russia is testing the backbone and will of the American people, for she realizes that without the support of the United States the free world will not commit itself to the preservation of freedom in West Berlin. But, as Mr. Khrushchev has discovered, the will and determina- tion of the American people is not so easily broken. Even the threat of nuclear holocaust has not shaken the American position. Nevertheless, one must not antici- pate the immediate ease of tension over Berlin because of the opposition Mr. Khrushchev has met. He will employ every means available to demoralize the West German people. But there is much doubt as to wheth- er this new tactic will succeed, for the West Germans are firm in their convictions that the free world will not desert them. One might now question the reason for Russia’s sud- den clampdown on Berlin. The answer is realistically simple. Berlin is a bone in Khrushchev’s throat.” It is an island of freedom in an ocean of Communism. Khrushchev is even questioning his own stand. He is now being pressured by the Russian Parliament” for a quick Berlin settlement. Another important factor to consider is that West Berlin has been an escape route for years. Since the Second World War, three and half million East Ger- mans have escaped from the Communist satellite. Be- cause most of the refugees have been German youth, the industrial power of East Germany has been severe- ly hindered and the Communist empire cannot afford the loss of industrial power. War over Berlin is, of course, no less absurd at this time than it will be in the future, but this does not imply that the absurdity is universally recognized and therefore it does not become effective. “War has to become technologically impossible in order to be stopped.” At this point there would be little satisfaction in saying that there will not be physical conflict over Ber- lin. And it is even more futile to stand back and say that the fortitude of the American people, or the un- derlying strength of the country, or its advanced tech- nology will stop the efforts of the Russians in their de- termination to subjugate Berlin. There is little justifi- cation for making such hopeful statements now. For all the courage of all the free people on earth is of little use if they do not know what they are fighting. Now is the Time Dave Fortin Repeatedly through the high school course of stu- dies, students are commended by their teachers to be- gin preparation for college. Almost without exception, —Gee if 1 had known all they do is danse at these things 1 wouldn't have come. these suggestions are forgotten in the rush of present activity — or inactivity, as the case may be. This is probably the worst possible omission of which the stu- dent can be guilty. The necessity of a college education is agreed upon universally; the spiraling competition for admission to colleges and universities is equally as well known. Yet, so often overlooked in college plans is the great importance of early preparation for this higher edu- cation. When put off until late, college planning can reveal the many steps which should have been taken previously, but which by that time are out of reach. To avoid this dilemma, anyone interested in attend- ing college should begin an early investigation into the requirements and procedures of admissions. First of all, the importance of consistently good high school grades must be realized. A student need not get all A’s or even all B’s, but must merely show that he is trying with the ability he has. A student who rates high on placement tests, but whose grades are relative- ly low, shows his poor attitude toward study. Secondly, a person should become an active partici- pant in the activities of his school. Colleges are inter- ested not in the individual whose whole life is study, but in that person who has a well rounded personality, and can contribute something to the school. Finally, one should avail himself of the many achieve- ment tests and other facilities offered him to demon- strate his particular ability and help him prepare for the final, important tests of admission. In short, the time for college planning is now. Re- gardless of one’s plans for the future, or his interest in colleges, he should keep in mind the necessity of preparation.

Library Procedure is Demonstrated Kathy Connor Library orientation, conducted by Sister Juliana,, has been and will continue to be a feature in the schedule of all English classes here at Miege. During the first week of school, freshman English classes were introduced to the Dew- ey Decimal System, the arrangement of books, the use of encyclopedias, reference books, and periodicals, as well as the basic rules for the use of library materials. Along with Sister Juliana’s explanations, the fresh- man classes saw a film entitled “Use Your Library for Better Grades and Fun Too’’. Orientation for the sophomore, junior, and senior English classes included revues of basic rules and the Dewey Decimal sys- tem. Also Sister explained how to do re- search in the library. Some of the Latin, debate, and math classes have gone through the library learn- ing how to do research work. The three girls, all members of the Miegian staff, took places to put Miege ahead of ap- proximately seventeen other schools, in- cluding Pern Day, St. Teresa's Academy, and Manuel High School. The contestants were classified in two categories: Classes I and II. Class I denotes a “cub” reporter, while Class II consists of the more experienced journalists. Mary Lu and Anne took two third place awards in Class I with sports and feature articles, respectively. Elaine took a Class II, second place prize as an editorial w riter. The con- testants were given topics with some details, and one hour to write up articles that could be used for publication in a school news- paper. This was at the beginning of the day. The rest of the day was spent in various conferences. The opening address was given by Berton W. Marvin, Dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism at K.U. He spoke about his experiences as an ex- change teacher in Tehran, the capital of Iran, and also about the chances and pro- gress of the free press in the world. He said that in Tehran alone, there are fourteen daily newspapers. All but two of these are government owned. Thus, in all but these two, all news having anything disagreeable to the government is suppressed. “But”, he said, “I think that now that the illiteracy rate in Iran is going down, that the news- papers will be given more and more free- dom, as more and more incidents show that new channels for news are being opened.” The channels he was speaking of are the imported American newspapers, and the two free Tehranian papers and the others like them. The Dean also said that if there is no economic reform in Iran within the near future, the growing middle class will revolt. This could be bad for the United States politically in the Near East, because Russia is one of the countries bordering this oil-rich nation. In case of revolution, she might, and probably would, swoop into the country and take it over, striking a severe blow at democracy. Parliamentary Law To Miege Students In conjunction with the Student Council, groups of four students picked from the First two hours of beginning speech classes have been explaining Parliamentary Law and giving demonstrations in homerooms. Demonstrations included giving an intro- duction to Parlimentary Law and an ex- planation followed by an actual meeting using Parliamentary Law in which students in the homeroom participated. Demonstra- tions last the 20 minutes of the homeroom. As some teachers remarked: “This was one of the most helpful demonstrations for The second.address was given by Mrs. Virginia Woodring, Director of Publica- tions for the Springfield, Mo., Public Schools. Her conference was on a critical analysis of the make-ups of various school newspapers. When criticising the papers brought to her attention, she commented that the William Chrisman “Chrisman En- voy” was one of the few papers that stuck to the traditional style of publication. This means that there is no break in the vertical columns of type on the pages. Thus, there is no“eye-catcher” to draw the eye to one particular article. William Chrisman took first place in total number of points and received the traveling trophy. When con- fronted with the Miegian”, Mrs. Wood- ring said, It’s a good, bright, eye-teasing paper, but isn’t it rather hard to operate on three columns a page?” The final address before the awards was given by Dean Marvin. It was entitled “What Makes a Good Newspaper?” The Dean says that there are seven necessary items for a good paper. They are human interest stories, specific objectives for the paper to work for, good, detailed reporting, intensive research on the parts of all writ- ing for the paper, imagination, ingenuity, and enterprise in finding news. He strongly warned against the use of controversy for its own sake, and he advised all the writers present to “accentuate the positive, but not in a Polyanna sort of way.'’ He also said that planning the objectives for the paper will eliminate the need for censorship. After the Dean’s last speech, the awards were distributed. The three schools w ith the highest number of points were an- nounced. They were William Chrisman, Paseo, and Miege in that order. Elaine Hunter my homeroom.” Another commented, “The sincerity of the demonstration was out- standing.” Still another had this to say, “It would be ideal if all homerooms were con- ducted as well as the demonstrations.” THE KANSAS CITY TOWN HALL FORUM Royal Winnipeg Ballet of Canada Tues.

Nov. 4 Season tickets for all programs range from $10-$18 8:15P.M. at Music Hall - 107 - French Club—The purpose of the French club is to improve the knowledge of the French student in the language, customs, and history of French. To achieve this pur- pose the club has planned many projects for the coming year. At the meeting of Sep- tember 27, a committee was appointed to buy a French Hag for the French depart- ment. The club will try to purchase books written in French which will belong to the club but may be used by any French Stu- dent; also a map of France will be obtained for the French department by the club. At meetings, movies, slides, and other types of aids will be used to instruct the club mem- bers. One of the unusual things about this club, is that French is spoken at all meet- ings. The club has operated for two years but last year the meetings were held outside of school time and therefore this is its first year as an academic club. The moderator for this club is Sr. Marie Therese, the French instructor. The offi- cers are: Liliane Pintar - president; Mi- chele Calabrese - secretary; and Michael O’Brien - treasurer. Foreign exchange stu- dent, Chris Bouchez, is an honorary mem- ber of the French club. Library Club--This year, the Library Club is limited to 15 members selected from sophomores, juniors, and seniors. At the second semester, freshmen will be eligible for application. This club is a service club and each member is required to give two hours of work in the library each week. These student assistants are graded accord- ing to the point system used by the Na- ional Catholic Library Assistant Associa- tion. In addition to helping to serve other stu- dents and in preparing material for circula- tion, the members will also be given extend- ed instruction on library techniques. Latin No Longer Dead Language? Recently asked about the benefits of studying Latin, Sister de Lourdes, Latin instructor of freshmen and sophomores here at Bish- op Miege, scoffed at the idea of Latin being a dead language. To bring across her point Sister remarked that students who have studied Latin have opened the door to a greater knowledge of Eng- lish vocabulary. Juniors and Seniors of past years who have taken Latin have noted greater success on college entrance vocabulary examinations due to familiarity with the Latin roots from which many of our English words are derived. However, Sister did not stop extolling the praises of her favorite language at that point. She also pointed out that Latin can be help- - 108 - During one of the parliamentary procedure demonstrations John Le C to questions asked by interested Stags.

Being proficient in French, Sister knows that in that language as well as in many others a knowledge of Latin provides a key to the meaning of many of the words one encounters in translation and conversation in a foreign language. In studies such as World History, English and Art, a Latin stu- dent will find correlation with the culture and influence of the Ro- man Empire. He will find Cicero teaching him oratory; Virgil teaching him rhyme, meter and poetic images, while Shakespeare reaches back to immortal Caesar. “Et tu, Brute?” Paul Kennan CLUB NEWS by Richard Koch listens ;r;u Oil Ted Dickey (alias Rockhurst’s Coach Davis) gives a last minute pep talk to “Rockhurst” cheerleaders at the pep assembly before the Rockhurst game.

The panel, which will be held on October 23, has been broken down into the following topics: Causes of the Re- volution, Mary Koob; Burgoyne s campaign, Laurie Corcoran; French Aid; Chris Bou- chez; Washington’s Role, Susan Roche; John Adams and the Administration of War; Belinda Ross; the Navy, Janet Rubin; and the Swamp Fox and Southern Campaigns, Rusty Scholtes. Mike Grady will preside as chairman. John Goldrick, who visited Rome last Christmas, brought back several slides which were shown to Sr. Grace’s sixth hour World History class as an aid in their studies of Roman civilization. Miss Murphy’s Typing II class is in the process of constructing an Office Manual. This booklet will consist of various business forms that the students will use in their fu- ture business careers. Guinea pigs headed by Sister Martina? Yes, Miege's biology department has a new addition in the form of nine little guinea pigs. Eight weeks old now, they represent the typical mammal to be used for biologi- cal purposes. Miss Lucas’ junior English classes are attempting a new type of research to better prepare themselves for college. Each stu- dent will plunge into a certain author’s life and writings. After a year’s research work on this the student should become very fa- miliar with his particular author. Mr. Moritz’s American Problems classes are studying the development of our govern- ment and the forming of the constitution. Mr. Moritz encourages his students to view I)r. Albert Burke’s lectures on the television show “A Way of Thinking.” This show gives the viewer a good insight in understanding our government and international problems of today. Mr. Salman’s American History classes enjoyed scenic pictures of Paris, Athens, and a few other areas of Europe taken by Mr. Salmans during his years abroad in the service. The girls’ Phys. Ed. classes, under the direction of Mrs. Garrison have been com- peting in the type of races one might see in a track meet. These races include the 50 yard dash, 600 yard, and the shuttle race. It’s all a part of keeping physically fit. Sister Stephen’s art classes have been engaged in outdoor sketchings. During the hot weather, they were the envy of almost every Miege student. Her English classes are concentrating on their dictation exer- cises. The Junior Religion class taught by Fr. Wright is delving deeper into the theory and truths concerning the Holy Ghost. The study of church history is the next major undertaking. Theories and mysteries of the church are presented in a manner that will enable the class to comprehend them. Mr. Byard’s biology classes are studying the minute life around them. They first go into the lowest forms of plant life and after seeing how it progresses into higher forms of life will proceed to enter into the animal kingdom. Mr. Zimola’s drafting and woodwork classes have enthusiastically begun work on new projects. After being familiarized with instruments, Drafting I started draw- ing letters and figures and are now begin- ning on objects while second year drafting students are picking up where they left off last year, striving for better quality draw- ings and learning new techniques. In the field of woodwork, beginners were given demonstrations and safety tests before se- lecting their projects. Advanced woodwork pupils are being introduced to more ma- chines and building larger products.

With the ad- diti on of Red China this power would be greatly increased. But most i m portant, I think, is the fact that Red China defeats the purpose for which the U. N. was created — the purpose of unit- ing peace-loving na- tions. I n Red China peace does not exist where the people are deprived of democracy and freedom. Peggy Halloran Red China is, and always has been, a threat to international peace. The U. N. was set up to protect the peace and liberty of every independent country. We cannot afford to put Red China in a position from where she can use'her influence and power to destroy the freedom of other coun- tries. Mike Garner . I definitely think the United States should not relent on her stand against Red China’s admittance to the United Nations. Her membership could do nothing but dam- age to the operation of this peace organiza- tion. Kathy Connor If Red China is ad- mitted to the United Nations the free world will suffer a double defeat. The. U.S. will be forced to recognize the Communist gov- ernment of China and the U. N. would turn into nothing more than another puppet of Communism. I think it would be wiser for the U. S. to com- pletely drop out of the organization should the Com mu- nists get their way. Rod Vickery Stags To Appear On WDAF Miege has been invited by WDAF to ap- pear on T.V. TEEN HOP, to be televised October 21 at 3:30. On Oct. 7, the steering committee, con- sisting of the student council officers, pep- club president, editors of the paper and Christopher Bouchez, met with the pro- gram director at WDAF to make prepara- tions for the show. Arrangements were made concerning the number of juniors and sen- iors to attend and the students to be inter- viewed on the show. Debaters Attend Clinic A debate clinic held Saturday, September 23 at Topeka High School was attended by 53 Miegians, the largest group present from any school. The group consisted of students from the debate and speech classes. The all-day clinic opened with a demon- stration debate on the federal aid to schools’ question. Following it were a criticism and analysis of the debate. The afternoon program consisted of sev- eral discussion groups. The talks on debate techniques and rules were especially help- ful to the novices.

Stags Invited To Philharmonic This year Kansas City’s Philharmonic featuring Hans Schwieger as musical di- rector, is again presenting a special series of “Connoisseur Concerts.” Membership cards for the “Student Connoisseur Corps” will be distributed at school. Upon presen- tation of the card at the box office, students will be admitted a the special price of $1.50. Mary Dwyer, senior, has been appointed head of a four man committee composed of one student from each class to handle tick- ets, distribute membership cards, display posters, and arrange general promotion to the students at Miege. The attendance record of the school will be credited throughout the season, and at the conclusion, appropriate awards will be made to the representatives and to the schools showing the greatest percentage of student body in attendance.

Unfortun- ately, the weather appeared to be a big factor in determining the win- ner of this game, because it seemed that the winner would be the one who could manage to slide from one end of the field to the other. Some of the girls found this situation perturbing and I overheard one of them mutter, “I think it’s just terrible that those boys have to play in this weather and get their nice white uniforms all soiled!” This re- mark should make boys eternally grateful that very few women parti- cipate in athletics. What if they did and Bishop Miege had a girl’s football team, the Stagettes? Poor Mrs. Garrison (she’d be the coach, of course) would hardly ever have players, for all of the girls would have various rea- sons to excuse their absence at the games. These might be two typi- cal reasons: “I can’t play tonight; I’ve got a big date tomorrow and I just set my hair; the football helmet would simply ruin it.” or, “I won’t be able to play tonight; the dew on the grass would make my mascara run.” And what about the girls who did play? If a foul were called on their team, they’d probably cry and call the referee a ‘‘mean old man.” The Soviet girls may use their bulging biceps for athletics but I would rather be a puny spectator cheering the Stags on to victory. Late Score Stops Stags Miege suffered its second defeat of the season in as many games, as they bowed to a strong De La Salle team 13-7 at Ward Stadium. A muddy field and cold weather made ball handling treacherous and passing practically impossible. However, De La Salle quarterback, Joe Exposito used screen passes and tosses over the middle very effective- ly, completing six out of seven attempts. The Stag offense never did get started even though fullback Dave Bussjaeger picked up seventy yards rushing by himself. Unfortunately that was just about all Miege gained all afternoon and Bussjaeger could’t carry the entire burden of the attack alone. The Stags struck quickly as tackle Tom Keehn snared a deflected De La Salle pass and rambled seventy-five yards for the touchdown. Bussjaeger ran for the extra point and gave the Stags a 7-0 lead mid- way through the first quarter. De La Salle evened things up in a hurry when they marched sixty yards in six plays to the end zone. The drive was sparked by halfback Bill Toler who carried four times for thirty-seven yards during the march and scored the touchdown on a one-yard plunge. Toler also scored the extra point and tied the score at 7-7. Neither team was able to move the ball during the second and third periods. Mike Murray kept De La Salle in their own territory most of the time with his fine punting, averaging 30 yards on seven kicks. The big break came for De La Salle in the fourth quarter when they recovered a Miege fumble on the Stags twenty-five yard line with three minutes remaining in the game. De La Salle moved to the one- yard line on the strength of Exposito’s passing as he completed two passes to End Chuck Dobson and one to Toler. After the Stags tight- ened their defense to stop Toler short of the goal, Exposito plunged over with eleven seconds left in the game to provide De La Salle with the winning margin. Team defense was improved over that of the Rockhurst game as the Stags stopped the De La Salle offense almost completely during the second and third periods. Although the defense was largely a team effort, Mike D. Murray, Glenn Smith, and Felix Gotner were parti- cularly outstanding. Bill Agnew Roughing It Through New Mexico Mts.

This ranch is owned and operated by the Boy Scouts of America and was a gift to the Boy Scouts by Waite Phillips, now owner of most of the Sunset Strip. Philmont is in some of the most beautiful country in the West. It includes some prairie, though most of the acreage covers the lower part of the Rocky Moun- tain Range. This summer, Fred Silady, Terry Alley, (freshmen) and I, along with 17 other boys from this area, (many of whom were also counselors at Camp Naish this past summer) started on a trip to New Mexico and Philmont Ranch. After passing through Elkhart, Kansas, enroute to Philmont, we reached our destination and found that a fifty-six mile hike was on the agenda for the first days. Most of us realize how rough it is to cross a mountain by car, but we haven’t lived until we have actually hiked up one side of a moun- tain and back down the other with a twenty-five pound pack. One of the highlights of the hike was that we cooked our own meals. After a little practice, the food was as good as Mom’s?? During the course of our trek, we crossed the Rayado River num- erous times, but one problem always caused alarm- there were no bridges so we had to cross on fallen trees. In crossing, we more than once had a taste of the mountain river as we went over the “bridge” and into the drink. Many of our hikes led us to various points of interest. On one hike we climbed Waite Phillips Mountain (elevation 11,700 ft.) which was the highest point on the ranch. On another hike we visited an old gold mine and we each had a chance to pan for gold. Yet on another hike, after we failed to get rich at the mine, we crossed the most prominent land mark in that area, the Tooth of Time. Each of the hikes ranged from four to eleven miles of beautiful ter- rain. While hiking we saw signs of deer, bear, eagle, bat, chipmunk and porcupine . When we had returned to headquarters we had hiked fifty-six miles. As we sat in the dining hall looking up in the mountains where we had spent the last ten days, we began to recall pleasant experiences and our feet began to recover from soreness from the rugged trek over ter- rain. Larry Alley - Ill - THEORIES The scene is the Roosevelt Stadium in downtown Moscow. It is a cool, crisp day, perfect for football. Today is the champion- ship game in the Comrades of the Salt Mines League. It pits the Costaluski Cos- sacks against the Tasminiski Tartars. The Tartars are favored by 3 points. The Rus- sian peasants, in their flowing garments of traditional gunny sacks are beginning to arrive by foot and push carts. I have here a extra party card. Come on and join me. Here we are inside. Our seats are right over here. Boxes of course. Mine says, “Real California Oranges - Made in Japan.” Here is today's lineup. the field and “played with” a group of peas- ants. The cheerleader has whipped the crowd into a frenzy. His name is Rasputin. He constantly reminds the teams that the looser gets a paid vacation to Siberia and a daily trip through the Salt Mines. His cheers go: Win this game Hold that line Kill that kid Hit ’em Mac Cause if you don’t If you don’t You’ll wish you did. You won’t be back. The score is tied with 1 minute left. As desperate, last minute strategy, the coaches offer their players a full-color picture of a porkchop if they win. It is to no avail, how- ever. The game ends in a tie and both teams are hauled off the field by the Red-caps and are never seen from again. Sports Shorts After the De La Salle game the football team started a new yell: “What’s the magic number? Seven! Miege is going to finish off the season with seven straight victories. A pleasant surprise has been the develop- ment of Dave Bussjaeger into the top run- ner in the backfield. He seems to be follow- ing in the footsteps of “The Blond Bomb- shell,” Jack Barnard. The passing attack this year has been notably weak; perhaps this is due to the ab- sence of J. Harlan Wheeler, that sticky- fingered end of wide acclaim. Stags Halt Pem Day After two disheartening defeats in two well-played games, Miege finally racked up its first victory of the season against Pem Day 39-0 on the Pem Day field. Explosive running characterized the Miege attack as our young backfield finally jelled. Once again Dave Bussjaeger was the standout in yards gained, but Gary Roliheiser chal- lenged him for the title while showing the form which earned him a starting job last year. Reeling touchdowns of 65, 58, and 5 yards, Roliheiser took a lead in the over- all scoring column. Buss scored his two TD’s on runs of 42 and 5 yds. but by breaking loose for runs of 28, 30, 22, and 24 yards be- fore being stopped, he kept the lead in total offense. The Miege defense was stern hold- ing Pem Day 51 yards rushing, and most of this during the second half in w hich the reserves for the Stags played a key role. Meanwhile the explosive offense was setting a new school record of 512 yards rushing, breaking the record set two years ago. Miege struck quickly two plays after the opening kick off. Buss broke loose for his first TD. After getting the ball, Pem Day gained 1 yard in three attempts and went into punt formation. A bad center gave Miege the ball on the 5 yard line and Roli- heiser took it over on the first attempt. After that Pem Day was through. A sur- prise weapon unveiled after the third and fourth touchdown was Pat Kelly who kick- ed two for two and stopped the Miege score from being divisible by six. John Wheeler Sports Shorts (Contin. Coach Frazier when questioned on the subject of winning and losing said, “I can never get used to defeat.” It would be good if we all accepted a philosophy of this type. Perhaps you didn’t notice but during the Pem Day game one of the referees kept his flag in his chest pocket rather than his hip pocket. All the easier to throw I suppose. COSSACKS TARTARS Ht. Wt.

The snow plow, pulled by 3 old horses and 16 equally old comrades, have just scraped off the top layer of snow, (about 12 feet) so we are about ready to start. There’s the kick. Hevenski takes it on his own seven, starts up the field but slips on the thin ice at the twenty. The Cossacks batter the line three times but loose 16 yards and 23 teeth. They then drop back to punt. But the Czar can’t find the ball. It seems that Gretchin lost control of herself and consumed it. She later, before her exe- cution, said it was the only pork she had had since the Allies left. The ball changes hands several times in the next two quarters. However, most of the action has taken place in the stands.

Retreat Is Student Planned and Steered For this year’s retreat, Student Council members scheduled the agenda, drew up regulations for students to follow, and re- minded them of their responsibilities. The regulations allowed the students much more freedom than they have ever had at any previous retreats. After reporting to their homeroom, the upperclassmen were permitted the rest of the day to stroll the campus between con- ferences and to use this freedom for medi- tation on points stressed in conferences and on ideas stimulated by the spiritual read- ing. Besides private spiritual reading, Dave Fortin and Janean Hamden read aloud to the upper and lower classmen respectively during their dinnertime in the cafeteria. Lower classmen were also allowed to leave their homeroom with permission of the homeroom sponsor. Father Curt Lanzrath OFM, closed his first retreat for juniors and seniors with the awesome thought, Now, let us say an Our Father and a Hail Mary for the next one from this group to die.” Father drove his point home in this conference on death as he showed its close proximity to all. This was typical of Father's talks- the use of a phrase or a sentence that summarized his point either subtly or obviously, but always completely. Old topics were treated in a persuasive and new light by the Reverend John Stitz, as he spoke to the freshmen and sophomores on death, sin, heaven, etc. It’s just 43 more days until Beethoven’s birthday. School Publications Campaign Launched Goal Set at $8,000 Miege will sponsor its annual ad cam- paign for the yearbook and newspaper from November 6 to 22. The goal has been set at 8,000, approxi- mately 10.00 per student. The members of the Miegian Ad Board stated that if the entire student body shows the spark and enthusiasm which it has displayed in so many other activities, this goal can easily be reached. This program will be operated complete- ly through the homerooms by members of the Board, representatives from each home- room. In this way all students can partici- pate in the campaign. On October 24, under the direction of the ad representatives, students in their home- rooms listed business firms, boosters, and ad possibilities. Board members collected the lists and from them tabulated a master copy to be posted in each homeroom so that there would be no overlapping as the many students brought in ads. The student who brings in the largest amount in ads at the close of the campaign will have his name engraved on his year- book and will be given a 1 4 page space for his picture in the yearbook. The class which turns in the largest amount in ads will be featured on a page in the yearbook. At a pep talk opening the campaign, board representatives informed the students that the student activity fee apportioned to the Miegian far from pays the expenses in- curred in its publication. Gala and Colorful Homecoming Enthusiasm for the highlight of the foot- ball season mounted as the festivities for the homecoming weekend began. A Holy Hour offered for the success of the entire weekend was held at St. Ann’s, Thursday evening, October 26. The Holy Hour featured a Bible Vigil with homilies presented by Father Henry Forge, St. Ann’s. Friday afternoon, during the rally at the scene of the new bleachers, excitement reach- ed a peak. Each class presented a skit por- traying the obvious defeat of Rosedale, the opponent. Later Friday evening the focal point of the homecoming dance was the grand march and the crowning of Queen Jeannine Allen and her attendants: Joyce Granquist, Carole Pitnick, Mary Jeanne Bartolac, and Pat Ackman. The royalty was escorted by Cliff Seitter, Steve Murray, Gary Rollheiser, Phil Meitner, and Dave Fortin. Larry Philips provided the music as the couples glided across the dance floor. The queen followed by her attendants led the first dance after her crowning and the rest of the Stags joined in. At the half in the homecoming game, the queen was presented along with her royal court. They were led out on the field on the float decorated in the school colors: red, white, and blue, and shaped in the form of a football field. Escorts were: Bill Leins, Tom McNeill, Rodney Vickery, Dave Kier- st, and Mike Garner. In preparation for the homecoming events, committees were formed to be responsible for key planning. Seniors and freshmen de- corated the St. Agnes gym where the dance was held, juniors decorated and prepared the throne and crown, and sophomores took care of refreshments. Vicky Erickson DEBATE RECORD PROMISING Miege debaters attended two debate tournaments the weekend of October 13 and 14. At the one day tournament held in Fre- donia, of the two Miege teams attending, John Wheeler and Ted Dickey showed the better record. Although they were victor- ious in all their debates, their number of speaker points eliminated them from the finals. Rich McGill and Dan Furst achieved a record of three wins and one loss. The novice debaters, Mary Sue Scardello, Ann Winsky, Janet Rubin, Eileen Wycherly practice debated at Atchison Public High in Atchison, Kansas. Of the eighteen de- bates participated in, the beginners scored eleven wins. - 113 - John Birch Society - A Menace To Our Country As American citizens and as Catholics we are aware of the menace of Communism. I would like however to call your attention to another frightening menace - the John Birch Society. The purpose of this society is in itself noble, the pre- venting of Communism. Many of its members are sin- cere and patriotic, but their means cannot be justified. The direction of their purpose is to viciously attack and slander those whose views differ from their own, and to hurl upon them the label of pro-communist. John Birchers believe that the evils of Communism are covering our shores. As scapegoats for this evil they choose domestic “Communists,” over forty million of them-you-r neighbors, friends, business associates, leg- islators, presidents, leaders, and clergymen. They di- rectly accuse these people of either being Communists or stooges of Communism. Among the most prominent victims - Dwight and Milton Eisenhower, the nine Supreme Court Justices, Dag Hammerskjold, Presi- dent Kennedy, and other legislators. The John Birchers make these following irrational statements: the Supreme Court is a nest of socialists; our foreign aid and defense programs are part of a Communist plot to weaken America; segregation of the races is good; the present welfare programs are Com- munistic. John Birchers would correct all these “er- rors” by impeaching all of the Supreme Court Justices, doing away with all aid to foreign and impoverished peoples, keeping the negro in his “place” as a second class citizen, abolishing the United Nations, and leav- ing the poor of our country to wallow in their misery. Anyone who disagrees with their political or social views is subject to their slander. Although Pope John XXIII has expressed in his recent encyclical that it is our duty to alleviate misery and disease, the philo- sophy of the John Birchers is to let the rich get richer and let the poor help themselves. Jed Kee The seeds of Communism spread best in an atmos- phere of fear and hate. This detrimental atmosphere is created by the John Birch Society. Too many conservatives slit their parties’ throats by subscribing to the ideas of the John Birch Society. Even the very conservative Los Angeles Times has said that the John Birch Society is “a peril to conserva- tives,” and “subversion whether right or left, is still subversion. We do not believe that any argument can be won by smearing as traitors and enemies those with whom we sometimes disagree.” To those conservatives, that are duped into believ- ing that the John Birch Society is doing good, I say - join the followers of the Society such as Dan Smoot, cry out for the impeachment of the Supreme Court Justices, slander President Kennedy and other past presidents, and in doing so ignore the words of Father Rolf Gorman who spoke in Sign, August 1961, “We don’t think that the ingredients of the JB Society help towards making a true Christian or a real American.” THE MIEGIAN Published every three weeks by the students of Bishop Miege High school; Mission, Kansas.

We cannot say that our thinking and worrying over class officers, English exams, or homecoming is wrong or even unnecessary; but if such items are all we ponder on, something is out of kilter somewhere. The Reverend Father Stitz, U.S. Papal Volunteer Director, forcibly hits this point home as he expounds his beliefs on the state of the world as regards the strangling serpent of Communism. In his war against lethargy Father tells us that the United States is certain to be overcome by the Soviet Union. What evidence is there, he asks, that the average man would resist? We find it hard to keep a retreat silence or to continue studying when a teacher leaves the room. We can ask ourselves, “What evidence is there The Decline of the “American Character” Ancient Rome began as a small community of poor shepherds on the banks of the Tiber. In time the hard and frugal life of these people molded what is now known and revered as the Roman Character. The pride of Roman citizenship carried the eternal city to an un- paralleled position of prominence and power. Grad- ually, however, the Roman came to be characterized by his complacency, extravagance and apathy- the mighty civilization of Rome crumbled into ruin. A quite reasonable comparison may be drawn be- tween the conditions of fifth century Rome and twen- tieth century America. No longer does the tough and resourceful pioneer spirit serve as the necessary factor in the making of important decisions. The love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life, so vehe- mently denounced by Theodore Roosevelt have de- veloped from the national wealth and power of the United States. Huge industrial achievements, marve- lous scientific and technological advances have made available to the average citizen fantastic products be- yond the wildest dreams of men. The result? A false assumption that life under the status quo will continue as such ad infinitum; a notion that no power on earth is capable of destroying the American way of life. Of late the United States has been characterized by a conspicuous failure to strongly assert its position in major crises. No longer does the America nation use as its credo the “Don't tread on me” of the colonial period or the “Our fiat is law” doctrine of the late nineteenth century. Now the American eagle musters the courage to say, “Please, sir, I believe you're stand- ing on my tail feathers.” The only remedy for this situation is a strong dose that we will fight for that in which we believe?” It is advisable and mandatory that we become stronger in what we are and this can only be accom- plished through acquiring mental dexterity in vital areas rather than in chain-reacted areas of gossip and chatter. An example of this gossip: This bus driver is nearly as snippy as that sixth-grade substitute teacher, the one who had to go to a psychiatrist; my aunt went to one, too, but she got well and then married that darling doctor with all the money, and that reminds me, I didn’t get my allowance this week. “It sickens the soul to think how many good minds have been stulified or discouraged or misguided.” Like- wise, it sickens the soul to think that in the opinions of prominent authorities our children will live and die under the hammer and the sickle. This disaster is seemingly unavoidable as far as human means are con- cerned, but concerning the divine side the Irish have a saying: “God is good and He has a good Mother, so everything is going to work out all right.” But are society's threats going to be remedied? Yes, if we refuse to panic and if we employ the little steps that can win the world. Susan Roche of personal responsibility, to be taken by every person in the United States. With the cure will come a well- informed public, a diplomatically strong government and the continuation of our American way of life. Dan Furst Editors’ note: Comments on the Miegian and all views expressed therein are welcome. These will be printed in a “Letters to the Editor” column. Please bring all suggestions and comments to the Miegian staff room. The Reverend John Stitz conducted the retreat for freshmen and soph- omores. The Reverend Curt Lanzrath was retreat master for juniors and seniors. Staff to Workshop Rusty Scholtes, Rodney Vickery, Jed Kee, and Dan Furst check yearbooks for new ideas at the workshop held at K.U. Below: strolling the K.U. campus. Bill Hum- phrey took the pictures. Thoughts from Sandburg If someone asked you if teaching and learning were snyonymous, your answer would be an immediate and emphatic, “No!” But stop and consider. Isn't this sometimes the attitude we allow ourselves to hold in regard to our schooling? As long as an instructor is before us talking, explaining, expounding, we are learning. But are we? How about the passive Patti’s and Paul’s staring unknowingly at the teacher with blank, uninterested faces? Is this how to get the fullest measure of knowledge and experience from the time and effort it takes to go to school. Of course not! And however reluctantly we admit it, we know that learning cannot be a one-way process: a teacher doing all the work. Carl Sandburg, America’s great poet-historian, as a young man said, 1 will listen and read and ask, and maybe I will learn.” Indeed, he has learned very well. He is a famous poet, novelist, historian, bio- grapher, and has two Pulitzer prizes to his credit. Yes, learning is a two-way process: we must do our part, also. Curiosity is one of the permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous intellect. But curiosity and awareness are attitudes; they have to come from inside. You’ll discover, if you keep your mind alert and inquiring, that the world grows more interesting as you grow with it. From The Plainsette, St. Mary of the Plains High School, Dodge City, Kansas. Five members of the Miegian and year- book staffs attended a journalism workshop at K.U. on Thursday, October 5. Over 200 students from a number of schools in Kan- sas attended the program presented by the William Alien W hite School of Journalism. Representatives of Miege were co-editors of the paper, Dan Furst and Jed Kee; year- book editor, Rodney Vickery; yearbook staff member, Rusty Scholtes; and photographer, Bill Humphrey. The opening address was given by Burt- on W. Marvin, dean of the School of Jour- nalism at K.U. Following this speech, stu- dents spent the rest of the day listening to talks given by various professors of the School of Journalism. These were held in the Kansas student union building and were divided into two sections: one for editors of papers and the other for yearbook editors. Dan and Jed discovered many different ways to write articles and to develop the editorial and sport pages. They plan to use many of these ideas in future issues of the Miegian. Rod and Rusty reported that many of the ideas received at K.U. would be used in this year’s yearbook to make it more lively and interesting. Bill commented that he would utilize the helpful aids that he learned to shoot unique pictures for both paper and yearbook. CSPA Convention Set for November The Catholic Press Association Midwest- ern Regional Convention will be held at the College of St. Teresa on Saturday, Novem- ber 18. Dan Furst, Miegian co-editor, will chair one of the sessions of the convention. Members of the staff plan to attend and to get pointers on Catholic school papers. Miege will also submit one of the copies of The Miegian for display before the dele- gates to the convention. The delegates will be from Catholic schools all over the Mid- west. P.S.A.T. TO JUNIORS AND SENIORS The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test was administered to 110 juniors and seniors on Tuesday, October 17. The students, equipped with a supply of soft lead pencils, rushed into the recreation room and cafeteria. Two hours and three pencils later, they emerged exhausted from the strict concentration. Reaction of some students: Math was easy, but the first part was hard.” The first part was easy, but I had trouble with the math.” What does diatribe’ mean?” Well, now I know' what to look forward to!” P.S.A.T. provides an indication of one’s verbal and mathematical abilities. Also, a number of sponsored scholarship programs make use of these test scores. Results will be announced sometime in December. The National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test for juniors, and the Iowa Silent Reading Test for freshmen will be administered in the near future. Rusty Scholtes - 116 - Staglines Edited by Elaine Hunter Under the direction of Sister Marie Ther- ese a French choir is being organized for French students. The purpose of this extra- curricular activity is to acquaint students with the popular melodies and tunes of France. In addition to the pleasure derived from such an activity, the students will ben- efit from the knowledge of the customs of our French neighbors. The first meeting of the 1961 PoVo’s was held on the 20th of September. The pur- poses and advantages of PoVo were explain- ed by Sister Stephen, moderator. The pro- posed outline for the coming year was dis- cussed and it was announced that the next meeting would be on the 18th of October when the election of officers would be held. The second meeting was opened with nominations from the floor for the offices of president, vice-president, secretary, trea- surer, and reporter. Nominations were made and speeches of the candidates were heard. The newly elected officers were as follows: president, Mary Jo Walker; vice-president, Diane Smith; secretary, Connie Armenta; treasurer, Mary Anne Manuel; and reporter, Kathy Daly. The bake sale to be held in the cafeteria on Friday, October 20, was discussed and the plans were made. The next meeting will be on the 22nd of November. TB tests were administered here by nurses from the Johnson County Health De- partment in Olathe to members of the stu- dent body, faculty, and other school per- sonnel on Tuesday, October 24. The Schick test which requires an injection of tuber- culin under the skin was the method em- ployed. Bishop Miege’s TB tests are part of the Public Health Departments nation- wide program to warn and safeguard the public against the dangers of tuberculosis. Forging along in their theological studies, Father Krische’s Religion 1 classes continue their studies of Faith with the topic: Sins against Faith. Mr. Arensberg’s algebra and General Math classes also continue to progress rap- idly in their challenging studies. Does the library seem rather crowded and full of activity lately? Sister Raymond hints that it could be the Latin V students doing some research on Virgil’s Aeneid. The Latin IV class held in the former Foods Lab had an avid discussion recently. They delved deeply into their work and even found a good reason for their class’s present location. It seems that the great orators like Cicero spoke a refined and per- fected Latin. The common people used what was called kitchen Latin. Students of Sister Martina’s biology classes are working faithfully on their leaf booklets. Collecting all types of leaves, they are learning both the scientific and common names of the trees around them. In class they are closely watching the development of their young orange trees and black rad- ish trees from Mexico, to see the different characteristics of the leaves. Style of the Year Fashion Expert Lauds New Uniforms A new uniform consisting of a gray flared skirt with a weskit of contrasting gray and a three-quarter length sleeve blouse has been introduced to the girls of Miege this year. Although the freshmen girls are re- quired to wear the new uniform the upper classmen have their choice between the old and new style. When Mrs. Barnes, Educational Repre- sentative of the Simplicity Pattern Co., visited the sewing class on October 5, she had a chance to see the new uniforms. She was left with this impression: “During my visit I saw your new school uniforms, and I would like to take this op- portunity to tell you how attractive they are. The flared skirt has returned to the fashion scene this year and is being featured in all leading fashion magazines. Better still is the way it looks on you! It is very becom- ing to all the girls and looks well on all the figure types. You have chosen the style of the year and I am sure you will be happy with your new uniforms.” Shirley Johnson Linda Taylor and Carolyn McHenry show their approval of the new two-tone gray uniforms introduced at Miege this year. Has Galloping Consumption or TB Galloped Out of the 20th Century? In former years, every piece of literature written invariably had at least a mention of some lovely young maiden who, after touch- ing her lily white hanky to her lips, discov- ered a red spot on it. Alas, the red spot was, oh horrors; blood and the poor lass was doomed to die a sad but brave death of gal- loping consumption. Fortunately, modern writers are forced to look elsewhere for tragedy because there are comparatively fewer deaths now of “gal- loping consumption” or tuberculosis. But contrary to popular belief, the threat of TB has not yet been entirely erased. It is esti- mated that today 250,000 Americans have active cases of TB; 100,000 of these people don’t even realize they have it and are daily infecting scores of people. In the health dis- trict of which Johnson County is a part, 20 deaths resulted last year from this disease. These alarming figures are not intended to frighten the public, but to stir them to the realization that although T.B. is the greatest killer among chronic infectious disease, most cases can be cured if detected in the earlier stages. The best possible meth- od of detecting TB germs in the body before noticeable symptoms appear is the tuber- culin test. Even if physically a person has never felt better, medical authorities urge them to receive this test, for they may be sicker than they think. Why be sorry when they can be safe?

Even though I think that last year I made my best retreat, 1 know that I profited great- ly from the various talks I heard, and the prayers that I said. Terri Farrell I thought the re- treat was very benefi- cial to me this year more than any other year because of the ex- tensive freedom that we received. I realized fully that a person will get out of a retreat exactly what he or she puts into it. My only complaint about the retreat was that I wish it could have been longer. Mary Ann Kahler I thought Father Curt was a very good speaker, and that the various subjects that he covered were very interesting. Many of his talks answered some of the questions I had in my own mind regarding vocational life. I think that since I tried to put more in- to this last retreat of my high school days, I got more out of it. Larry Alley I really think that this year was my best year for the retreat be- cause of the freedom we received. I say this because I think that this “freedom” really left it up to the person himself to decide whether he wanted to make a good retreat or not. Phil Meitner Newspaper Featured For J.A. Members The publication of a newspaper is being planned by members of Junior Achievement this year. This newspaper will carry news of the many companies and the activities of the members. Tentative plans are that the paper will be published every two weeks and will be sent to schools participating in the program. Mary Itedlinger, senior, is one of the 18 members who were interviewed and selected to work on the paper. This year’s program started the week of October 16. As the activities progress, stu- dent members may hold important positions in business corporations. Students already work with a banking firm and about 50 companies. Students lrom Miege in J.A. this year are: Judy Stewart, Mary Ann Peterson, Dave Kierst, Mary Sue Scardello, Barbara Snead, Mary Redlinger, Ann Redlinger, Nancy Pfeiffer, Mary Lu Doll, Julie Ladesic, Mike Holland, Larry Alley, Vicki Koch, Mary Ann Lyons, and John Chase. Seniors Plan Events The senior class met October 5, in the cafeteria to discuss the homecoming Octo- ber 27, the student retreat October 9 and 10, and College Day, December 7. Volunteers for decorating for homecoming were asked to see any officer or representa- tive. A few general announcements were made concerning the student retreat. Most of the meeting was spent in discus- sing College Day. The top twenty-one col- leges chosen by the seniors will be repre- sented on this day. There will be talks, panels, and a general assembly. Papers were distributed naming the eleven necessary committees for College Day and seniors volunteered for work on the com- mittee which interested them. Kathy Connor - 118- Stags Star on TV Representatives from Bishop Miege be- came television personalities when the Stags were featured on TV Teenhop October 21. All who participated saw first hand how a television show is broadcast. In order to gain a insight into the school, Tony Chapp, MC, interviewed the following Miegians: Mike Grady and Rich McGill, president and vice-president of the Student Council respectively, who told about the history of the school and of the current functions of the Student Council; Jeannine Allen who talked about the Pep Club; Dave Bussjaeger who “modestly” gave a brief ac- count of the Hayden football game; and Jack Hove who told about his latest swim- ming accomplishments and who just “hap- pened” to have a few trophies with him. The winners of the dance contest were Mike Grady and Mary Donohoe who were rewarded for their talent with record albums and boxes of candy, and of course, a big bag of “Kitty Clover Potato Chips.” Mr. Chapp showed TV closeups of an aerial and a ground view of the Bishop Miege building, and of the Miege chapel. He also focused the TV camera on copies of this year’s school paper and last year’s Miegian yearbook. Larry Rouse Boys’ YCS Organized A boys’ YCS group under the chaplain- ship of Father Henry Forge has been organ- ized at Bishop Miege. The purpose of the group is to produce apostolic leaders by having its members observe, judge, and act on the problems of school, home, and par- ish life. Several members of the junior class were most impressed with the need for true lead- ers after hearing a series of lectures given at Miege last year by Miss Audrey Pan- kratz, a representative of YCS and a per- suasive and dynamic speaker. These juniors worked to form as soon as possible, and with Father’s assistance, a group of eight stu- dents who possessed the qualities of poten- tial leaders. At present the group meets every Mon- day evening after school for regular meet- ings. General meetings with the other YCS units in the school are held monthly through- out the school year. Faculty and students extend their sympathy to Belinda Ross on the death of her mother this month. May she enter into eternal rest. CLUB NEWS by Richard Koch Math Club—On October 11 the Math Club was conducted on a first class tour of the Spencer Chemical Company at 9009 W 67th St. The members were greeted at the door and given a sample of fertilizer which the company produces. Then the guides led the members of the club along the halls of the main building and showed them the rooms in which chemists were experimenting with polymers and fertilizers amid a disorderly assortment of equipment. Among the more complex apparatus of the center were the infra-red and ultra-violet machines for determining qualities about newly discovered materials. After the tour of the main building, the members were led to the small scale production building where new products are produced on a larger scale than would be possible in the lab and on a smaller scale than is possible at an industrial plant. The third building to be visited was the high-pressure building where new materials are subjected to pressure tests. The club then went through the greenhouse where the agricultural products are tested. At the end of the visit the members were served refreshments, and any questions concerning the company were answered S.P.Q.R.—'This is the first year for the new Latin Club started by Sis- ter deLourdes which will be known as the S.P.Q.R. As their motto, the members have chosen: Latine Colloquamur et Laboremus. The titles given to the club officers are the names of political offices held in ancient Rome. All of these Latin items provide a basis for the club to pursue its purpose: to furnish an opportunity for the pleasurable learning of Romans and their civilization for which there is not enough time in class; to arouse an interest in the classics in general; to set up in school a friendly attitude towards the classics; to become acquaint- ed with the works of Roman authors not studied in high school. The club intends to join the American Junior Classical League, a national organization. The S.P.Q.R. will also subscribe to the biweek- ly “Res Gestae” and the magazine “Auxilium Latinum.” The future activities of the Latin Club include a demonstration of the Catilinarian Orations by the third year members to the second year group and a presentation of slides or a movie on ancient Rome. Science Club-The medical problem of cancer is now being discussed by the senior division of the science club sponsored by Sister Gabriel. The club uses intelligent discussion to investigate the nature of cancer, its cause, and the treatment of the disease. The meeting of October 25 was devoted to a movie concerning cancer. Sister Martina’s junior division of the club which is composed of the freshmen who are studying the fundamentals of science has learned to use the microscope and will prepare a rock collection for the school’s earth science and biology courses. Both divisions of the Miege Science Club will visit the K.U. Medi- cal Center on November 15th. Among other things, the members will be interested in the electron microscope, artificial kidney, and radio- isotope section. N.H.S.-National Honor Society President Dan Furst will appoint a committee to prepare amendments to the Society’s constitution that will expedite business. These amendments must be approved by the national office in Washington D.C. Po-Vo-The members of Po-Vo have voted to say St. Francis of Assisi’s prayer for peace every day. They will therefore be praying not only for their own vocations and the vocations of others but also for peace in this troubled world. The members have planned a trip to Paola for the Thanksgiving Vacation. Art Club-Each month the art club appoints a committee to decorate the bulletin board by the office. The members of this month's com- mittee are: Pat Styles, Cathy Mahoney, and Maurine O’Shea. Alpha Lambda-Strange sounds could be heard radiating from room 17 last week. The Alpha Lambda art appreciation club members, in continuing their study of African art, listened to the folk songs of Ethiopia and the songs of the Watusi tribe. Barbara Minnena and Carole Pitnick checked out these African recordings from the library and prepared the programme for the club. Other aspects of African art have appeared on the bulletin board in room 17. Future Teachers Club-Members of the FTA Club were given a dem- onstration of the use of the Shadowscope in building speed reading, at their meeting October 25. Mr. Pat Dalton, freshmen English and Latin teacher, was well qualified to give the demonstration, having participated in a reading workshop last summer at KCU, and current- ly taking a course which makes a study of the various methods and techniques in building reading speed and skills. Rook Review Edited by Peggy Halloran The setting of To Kill a Mockingbird is a small Southern town. Having lived all her life in just such a place, Harper Lee is familiar with the problems brought forth in her book. The main theme throughout the novel is the racial strife between the Negroes and white people of the south. The book is centered a- round the family of a small town lawyer, who is a defender of racial equality. Much of the book is devoted to the daily lives of the lawyer’s two children, their ideas and fears. The highlight of the story is revealed when a young Negro man is arrested for assaulting a white girl. The tension and emotion of the town; the way the different people react are both written in such a way that the reader attains a state of high emotional feeling. The plot is challenging and the author’s style appealing in To Kill A Mockingbird. Dave Kierst Starring at KCU Playhouse Saturday, November 4 Dinny and the Witches, by William Gibson.

Reaching towards the magic number of seven straight victories, the Stags added number four to their string. The game started out bad as Miege fumbled to give up the ball on their own thirty-five. Three sweepis and Hayden had a first and goal inside the Miege ten. Then our stern defense stopped them cold and took over the ball on downs. Later Buss scored the first of three touchdowns and Rollheiser ran for the extra point. Hayden marched for a tally but the extra point try failed, and Miege led at the half 7-6. Late in the third quarter Hayden ran back a punt and made the extra point to take the lead. Then the vaunted Miege offense got into gear. Led by the running of Dave Bussjae- ger, and the passing of Gary Rollheiser, Miege racked up a touchdown about mid- way into the final stanza. Then the stage was set for the last act as Buss finally scor- ed his third of the evening to break the 13- 13 tie and give the Stags the victory. Once again the offense was spearheaded by Buss although Gary Rollheiser did a fine job filling for the injured Mike Murray at quarterback. The line play was the worst of the season as the backs were consistently having to make holes for themselves. There was a natural letdown after last weeks up- set over Argentine and it almost cost us the game. Frosh Split First Six After the first six games on their seven game schedule, the frosh had an even 3-3 record. They showed good balance as the three losses were by close margins as were the three victories. No stars have as yet been detected on the squad although there is good reason to expect them to uphold the Miege tradition well in the years to come. Desperate Attempt Succeeds The Miege Stags evened their season’s record at two wins and two losses, defeat- ing Maur Hill 7-0 at Ward Field. Until the last minute of the game it looked as if the Stags would have to settle for a scoreless tie and be lucky at that. Chiefly responsible for holding the Junior Ravens scoreless was an inspired Miege defense that was tough when it had to be. Four times Maur Hill penetrated the Miege twenty-yard line and twice they got inside the ten yard stripe but each time the Stags dug in and stopped them, three times on downs and once on a pass interception. That pass interception came with one minute left and gave the Stags the break that enabled them to pull out the victory. Mike Murray picked off a Maur Hill pass on the Miege fifteen-yard line and ran it into Maur Hill territory, on their forty- eight yard line. On the next play Murray hit halfback Gary Rollheiser with a perfect pass and Rollheiser took the ball to the nine-yard line before he was dragged down. Fullback Dave Bussjaeger took over then and smashed off-tackle, shaking off three tacklers as he crossed the goal line with only eleven seconds remaining in the game. Murray ran for the extra point giving the Stags their 7-0 lead. During the last few games the team has been riddled with injuries but a strong bench has come through and therefore de- serves some praise. Gary Rollheiser played his first game at quarterback, and called a fine game against Hayden. Rich McGill filled in on defense in Murrays spot and drew praise for his fine effort on the outside plays, often coming up fast enough to throw the play for a loss. F. David Fortin filled in at end for Glenn Smith during the Argen- Shaking off injuries and a large disadvan- tage in weight, Miege upset favored Argen- tine 14-6 at Argentine field for their third victory of the season against two losses. Al- though the Stags’ victory spoiled Argen- tine’s homecoming, few Miege fans seemed to have any regrets. Argentine started off the game with a bang as they marched fifty-five yards in ten plays for a touchdown the first time they got the ball. After fullback Elmer Sharp had almost single-handedly run the ball to the Miege nine-yard line, quarter- back Jim Doyle hit halfback Kenny Larson with a short pass and Larson carried the ball into the end zone. The Mustangs tried to run for the extra point but failed and Argentine led by a score of 6-0 at the end of the first quarter. The rest of the game was all Miege as the Stag defense held Argentine to only 39 yards total offense in the final three quart- ers. For the second straight game it was the passing combination of Mike Murray to Gary Rollheiser that gave the Stags a shot in the arm. In the second quarter, Murray hit Rollheiser with a fifty-nine yard scoring pass, and after Murray ran for the extra point, Miege led 7-6. The Stags added to their lead in the third quarter when Murray ran six yards for a touchdown capping a sixty-one yard drive setup when Felix Gotner pounced on an Ar- gentine fumble on the Miege thirty-nine yard line. The key play of the series came when, on a third down and ten situation, Mike Murray hit end Steve Murray with a twenty yard pass, putting the ball on the Argentine twenty-five. Dave Bussjaeger ran for the extra point giving the Stags a 14-6 lead. Miege controlled the ball the rest of the game and Argentine never again threatened. It was a big win for the Stags since the “diminutive ’ Miege team was considered an underdog to the big Argentine squad. Much of the credit for the victory should be give to Rollheiser who played despite a kidney injury and to Ted Dickey, a senior center who played a fine game. However, the game was definitely a team victory. Bill Agnew tine game and almost earned himself a start- in berth with his heads up blocking. Pete Suess played a majority of the same game for Rollheiser who saw limited action due to an injured kidney. Suess is a sophomore who will see quite a bit of duty in the fu- ture. All in all the bench has come through in the pinch and these boys, who don’t get the glory the starters do deserve a large amount of credit for their devotion and skill in Filling in when needed. Reserves Sparkle When Needed - 120 - The Miegian Only 22 more days ’till Beet ho ve n’s birthday.

Larry Alley Colorful senior Steve Hughes, has recent- I ly earned his place in Miege’s hall of musi- cal immortals. Steve, janitor par excellence and Miege’s foremost expert on jungle warfare, recent- ly thrilled hundreds of students with his his brilliant harmoni- ca improvisations. While record com- panies and the na- tion’s leading con- servatories of music competed for his tal- ents, Steve cal mly chose to pursue his course of studies under the status quo. All those in lunch period 5A look with anxious eyes toward November 24, when Steve, on the cigar-box banjo, will lead the Miege “Tacky Senior” chorus in their con- troversial rendition of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony in D Major. Career Day Planned Career Day for the juniors and seniors will be held at 8 p.m. on November 30. Although March is the vocational month, Career Day will be early to give the juniors and seniors some ideas about various careers so that they will be better prepared for Col- lege Day, December 7. Sr. Marie Therese who is in charge of Career Day, is planning to get speakers who are experts in their fields. Each student will have a chance to at- tend two panels one in each of the two ses- sions. The first session for the boys will include the fields of medicine, business, law, and - 121 - 1 Why the Newspaper? The question arises about the limits and boundaries of a newspaper. Should there be both humor and intellectual stimulation in a news- paper? Should a newspaper be fundamentally based on the latter or the former. To the mental tyro these dichotomous questions would in- deed be difficult to answer, but to the intelligent individual there can be but one clear-cut answer. Any newspaper, regardless of size or num- ber of publications, cannot survive on humor and especially simple humor. Intellectual stimulation is the soul, the blood stream of a news- paper. It would be nothing less than an insult to the reader if every article and feature story had to have a twist of humor in order to arouse reading interest. It would dictate literary ignorance. However, on the other hand it would be a mistake to assume that humor is completely taboo for newspapers. On the contrary, humor and especially satire, can play a big part in the creating of a good newspaper. But humor must be scrupulously written. It must be com- prehensible for a majority of readers and it must never be an inter- pretation of private jokes between the author and his group of “hum- orists.” A recent argument that has arisen about the Miegian is that big events such as the homecoming are not given enough attention. One must take into consideration though that events such as the home- coming will be allotted a good deal of space in the yearbook; there- fore to play it up twice would be entirely unnecessary. A final argument is that most newspapers including school publi- cations are published for the benefit of the intellegensia. However, this argument hardly hold water for newspapers are printed at the reading level of an eleven year old and for one to consider them “too intellectual”.... well.... how do you square up? Rodney Vickery Cetters to the Editor Dear Editor: In the previous issue of the Miegian, an editorial labeled the John Birch Society, as a “frightening menace to our country.” In my opin- ion this statement is somewhat exaggerated because I believe that this ultraconservative society will soon die out. It appears to be a fanatical society, one wanting to be heard. Its leader, Robert Welch, is getting the publicity that he seeks when he labels former President Eisen- hower, President Kennedy, and the Supreme Court Justices as Com- munist stooges. The Society presently does not advocate the violent overthrow of the government as does communism, and it does have some merit by awakening in us the dangers of Communism. Michael Conry Dear Editor: I believe that the editorial in the November 3 issue of the Miegian on the John Birch Society gave a good description of this ‘ menace to our country.” Here is one point on which I disagree. To say that this society has a noble purpose, because it is supposedly against Commu- nism and that many of its members are sincere and patriotic is a mis- conception. In my opinion this group is a collection of childish people, who slander and ridicule those who go against them. They are self- centered people who clearly resemble Hitler and his idea of a super- race and the survival of the fittest. Any people who favor keeping the negro in his “place” as a second class citizen, abolishing the United Nations and letting the poor and underprivileged peoples and coun- tries “wallow in their misery” are not patriotic and sincere in their ef- forts to make this a country of democracy and equality. If in truth, they are attempting to root out the Communist element in this country, they would go about it in a much different way. The slandering and ridiculing of our nation’s leaders in politics, business and religion is the best way to weaken this country and make it sus- ceptible to the most dread disease, Communism. Informing and instructing the people in the evils of Communism is a much better method of stopping and retarding the spread and growth of Communism in this country. The John Birch Society is as great a force working for the destruc- tion of the democratic foundation of this country as Communism. David Kierst Dear Editor: After reading the last issue of our school paper, one question comes to mind: Question: Why is the Miegian like one of my sister’s cakes? Answer: They both have lots of ingredients, very little seasoning, and they come out flat. Take, for instance, the November 3 issue of the Miegian. The big news was the Homecoming and the Queen (wow). There was one pic- ture of the Queen and a short column about Homecoming. A picture of the float would look a lot better than the picture of the backs of four guys on the KU campus (page 4—if they were numbered). “Thoughts from Sandburg” could be cut down to the two bold type lines that were Sandburg’s thoughts, and the rest of the space used to tell the statistics about the float (or the Queen!). Another thing, too: Why not put pictures and stories together? It makes it easier that way. If you are short of space, you could reduce the type size on pages 2 and 3 to the same size as the rest of the paper and have room for T. Dickey’s column-complete. The block at the bottom of page 1 announcing that it is 43 days to Beethoven’s birthday is a real gem of humor. A gem is something that’s rare-and so is the humor in the Miegian. The little gem about Beethoven is the only chunk of humor in the paper. These observations are not meant to suggest that I want to be an editor-only to present a reader’s views. After all, if you had to be a horse to judge a horse show, who would holler, “The Winnah!” John Gaines Editor’s Comment: I should like to refer reader Gaines to this issue’s editorial page, on which he will find the goals and purposes of a newspaper. For those who are in search of humor, we have a special literature and humor issue coming up in January. Mr. Dickey has not been expunged from the staff, but due to his crowded schedule could not grace our last is- sue with his abundant wit. . .

Com- ments and criticisms of the retreat and the homecoming were made along with sugges- tions as to how these could be improved next year. It was decided that the home- room period should be put to better use, and a committee was set up to decide the procedures to be followed during that time. A step for better representation of all the students was taken when it was suggested that each homeroom representative meet with those he is representing before each Student Council meeting. By doing this, he could get the views on the topics to be discussed at the next meeting. These meet- ings coupled with the reports given by the representatives after each meeting should help to keep each student well informed and well represented. A lumna of ’60 Places in Contest Mary Ann Lambour ’60 won first place in Kansas in a fashion contest sponsored by the American Wool Growers Associa- tion. The contest was held in Abilene. The regional contest for which Mary Ann is now eligible, will be held in Goodland, Kansas, November 17 - 18. As a winner in the state contest Mary Ann was presented with a Westinghouse steam and dry iron, a Dritz skirt marker, a Vogue pattern of Phyllis DiMaio, Margo Habiger, and Craig Woodward prepare to give interesting book reviews on interesting books during Book Week. If there are any girls interested in senior scouting, please call Mrs. Swartz, RA 2-1238 or Mrs. Curtis, EM 2-2432. her choice, and expenses paid for the trip to Goodland. If she wins in the regional she will be given a portable sewing machine, a trip to Salt Lake City, Utah, and fabric for a dress or coat of 100% wool. Following the regional contest, if Mary Ann is lucky, she will enter the national where the winning prize will consist of a trip to a fashion center in California and a jet trip to Hawaii. Mary Ann is in nurse’s training at Pro- vidence Hospital. Book Week Library Features Varied Activities ‘'Hurray for Books” is the theme that was displayed throughout the week of No- vember 12 to 18 in observance of National Book Week. The Student Library assistants arranged a book display and decorated the bulletin board which drew the attention of many students and teachers. Book reviews were given in all the Eng- lish classes by thirty members of the speech class and by members of Sister Juliana’s freshmen English class. This was done on November 15 and 16. Also, in observance of Book Week, the Miege library published a list of all the new books added since June. 310 titles have been added and included among these are 16 re- ference titles. Notable additions are in the fields of math, literature, and historical fic- tion. Bulletins of news about the library were sent to each family represented at Miege. In the foreground Father Condon, Nancy Tremble, and Father Krische face the brisk weather to support the Stags at the game with Southwest. (Father Krische’s scarf keeps his ears warm.) Thanksgiving Means: A time of appreciation rich with the flavor of prayer and tradition; The anxiously awaited school vacation which has been anticipated since All Souls day; The annual football games full to the hilt with tense excitement; Visiting Aunt Mary and Uncle Don whom you haven’t seen since last week; The big meal with its golden turkey hot from the oven, and the rich cranberry sauce; Carrying out the real purpose of the holiday - giving thanks.

Barbara Henderson - 123 - Staglines Edited by Elaine Hunter A familiar scene in the homes of all Sr. Marie Therese’s French students is a be- fuddled father as he picks up the paper to see a neatly cut hole right in the middle of an interesting news article. This is the re- sult of an assignment in which all students are required to keep a scrapbook on France and her people. No, dad, it wasn’t the work of the Purple Paper Punchef, but only your industrious son or daughter. As a culminating activity for the reading of Kidnapped, the students of Sister Juli- ana’s freshmen English classes are study- ing the life and works of Robert Louis Stev- enson. There have been reports on Treasure Island, A Child’s Garden of Verses, and the famous Letter to Doctor Hyde. Students have also made a comparison between edi- tions of Kidnapped, especially the illustra- tions. In one of Sr. Roberta’s English classes, the seniors have completed narration, while another class has finished description and exposition. Term papers for Sister Immaculata’s sen- ior English classes are due December 1. There are many and varied topics: Bomb Tests in the U.S.; The Rise and Fall of Transcendentalism; Imagism; New Thoughts on Evolution, Journalism and its Influence in America since 1900 are among them. Sister’s sophomore English class is working on their autobiographies. Originality is being stressed in their writ- ing. They are to be creative, imaginative, interesting and true. For instance, have you ever thought of comparing your life to a five-act play, a tennis match, life of an his- torical personage, or the life of an astro- naut? Sister Gabriel’s chemistry classes are now delving into the curious world of water. Typing twenty to twenty-five words a minute in five minute timings seems easy. Several members of Sr. Dolores’s Typing I class have accomplished this. Wonder how many of them receive negative answers when they subtract ten for each error. The General Business classes are examin- ing advertisements, preparing budgets, dis- covering many agencies that serve and pro- tect the consumer, and examining the ad- vantages and disadvantages of buying on credit. Because of enthusiastic response to the study of Communism last year, Mr. Moritz has decided to elaborate on it this year. He intends to spend the second quarter on a different textbook called Democracy Vs. Communism which describes the rights and wrongs of the two. Clothing II students in Sr. Marianne’s classes are completing their corduroy jump- ers, and the Clothing I girls are starting to work with patterns. The latter have finished their pleated skirts and their tea towels. Working to meet the first deadline for the pictorial section of the yearbook are Peggy Halloran, Dave Kierst, Peggy Gaines, and Don Bollard. Their aim is to make it differ- ent, interesting, lively. Debaters Capture Trophy Don Bollard and Jed Kee brought home Miege’s first trophy of the debate year by taking third place in the Rockhurst Invita- tional Debate Tournament, October 27 and 28. This was a noteworthy accomplishment considering that there were twenty-four schools from Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma participating in the two-day tournament. Out of these 24 schools Miege was the highest rated school. Bollard and Kee remained undefeated for the first six rounds and were the highest rated team out of 44 on speaker points. As a result, they then entered the semi-finals to win the handsome third place trophy, which occu- pies a prominent place in the display case. Southwest and Raytown took first and sec- ond places, respectively. Ed Hammond and Kathy Johnson also established a fine record by winning five out of six preliminary rounds. On the same weekend, novice debaters Mary Kay Hippman, Mike Holland, Janet Rubin, Mike West, Craig Woodward, and Eileen Wycherly participated in the Wash- ington High Tournament. The schedule for the remainder of the debate season is as follows: December 1-2, Miege; December 8-9, Hutchinson, William Chrisman; December 9, Parsons; December 15-16, Topeka Highland Park; January 5-6 Rosedale, Emporia; January 12-13, Shaw- nee Mission North.

Repre- sentatives from approximately 18 colleges throughout the midwest have been asked to send representatives for the purpose of in- teresting the seniors in their respective schools. The following colleges received the greatest number of senior requests for re- presentation: Mount St. Scholastica - Atchison, Kan- sas; Rockhurst - Kansas City, Missouri; St. Mary’s - Xavier, Kansas; St. Teresa’s - Kan- sas City, Missouri; Marquette - Milwaukee, Wisconsin; St. Louis - St. Louis, Missouri; St. Benedict’s - Atchison, Kansas; Don- nelly - Kansas City, Kansas; St. Mary of the Plains - Dodge City, Kansas; Creighton - Omaha, Nebraska; Loretto Heights - Lor- etto, Colorado; Webster Grove - St. Louis, Missouri; Marymount - Salina, Kansas; St. Mary of the Woods - Indiana; Notre Dame - Notre Dame, Indiana; Regis - Denver, Colorado; Our Lady of the Lake - San An- tonio, Texas; St. Mary’s School of Nursing - Kansas City, Kansas. Senior committees to plan invitations, housing, transporation, welcoming at air terminals, and at school, booths for dis- plays about colleges, cafeteria planning, set- ting up the schedule, etc., have been set up. The tentative schedule for the day is as follows: a general session at 10 o’clock at which Father Sullivan will give a welcome speech and Dave Fortin will preside. This assembly will feature a panel with a discus- sion of the contribution of college educa- tion to America’s future. Following this will be talks by representatives from the guest colleges. The closing assembly will at 2:45 and Rich McGill will preside. Mary Koob - 124 - CLUB NEWS by Richard Koch Po-Vo—As their project for November, the Po-Vo’s have invited Mother Cecilia from the Ursuline Convent at Paola, Kansas to speak at one of their meetings. Mother Ce- cilia is a former Mother General of the Ur- sulines. The Po-Vo’s will spend the Thanksgiv- ing weekend at the Ursuline Convent at Paola. They plan to arrive on Friday and to stay overnight. During this weekend, the Po-Vo’s will attend programs and listen to speeches given by a priest. They will also visit with the postulants and novices, many of whom were former Po-Vo’s at Miege. The events of this weekend will make it similar to a day of recollection. Home Economics Club--On October 25, Mrs. Stephens, who was invited to speak at the club meeting, gave a lecture on good grooming, good posture, and the proper use of makeup. In regard to good grooming she stated that it is important to be “immaculately clean from head to heel.” As for good pos- ture, she said that it “can be maintained by keeping the rib cage out of the stomach.” Concerning makeup, she gave this advice; “Wear very little to school, never eye shad- ow or eye liner; that is only for stage and for photography.” Mrs. Stephens had this to say about fashion, “Be fashionable but not extreme; for instance, short skirts are fashionable but they are not intended to be above the knees. I have never seen a pair of pretty knees.” In conclusion Mrs. Stephens commented that extremes in anything, dis- plays poor taste and is not desirable. Her advice was certainly an aid to all Stags in- terested in proper grooming. On November 15, a demonstration of Christmas and Thanksgiving centerpieces was presented at a Home Economics Club meeting by the Dalton Florists. Library Club-Sr. Juliana took nine of the Miege library student assistants to the Mis- souri-Kansas Library Association Conven- tion on October 26 at the Hotel Muehle- bach in Kansas City, Mo. These members were given a chance to examine books ex- hibited by various publishing companies in order to help them select titles for the school library. This activity was to aid the members in pursuing one objective of the club-to donate one book each month to the library. At the club meeting, November 15, the junior boys of the SPQR presented a skit giving a sketch of the treachery of Cataline and the highlights of Cicero’s oration against him. The Senators, Mike D. Murray, Tom Horan, and Gary Little were swathed in white togas as Cataline, Bob Foley, sat alone brooding darkly as Cicero, portrayed by Frank Szymanski, poured forth his fury. The script was composed and narrated by Paul Keenan. Give Thanks I jet the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea and what filis it resound; let the plains be joyful and all that is in them! The earth has yielded its fruits; God, our God, has blessed us. Senior Rings Blessed In the afternoon of November 6, the sen- iors had their class rings blessed in the school chapel. Before the blessing, Father Sullivan ex- plained that this particular blessing was not a sacred blessing as placed on objects used in relation to God, such as a crucifix, but was a blessing showing that all things come from God. Father further explained that he did not have to hold the rings nor did the holy water have to touch the rings; it was the intention that the rings should be blessed that was necessary. Amid tears and laughter from all sides, Miss Lucas’ three junior English classes portrayed the burlesque tragedy of “Prya- mus and Thisbe” from Shakespeare’s Mid- summer Night’s Dream. The story tells of two lovers, each thinking the other dead, LETTERMEN MEET At the Lettermen’s meeting of Novem- ber 7, the members were reminded of their obligations as lettermen in fulfilling the purposes of their organization: to promote school spirit and to emphasize the impor- tance of the letter. The athletes were re- minded that the letter is an award and that in order to demonstrate its importance no letters other than those awarded at Miege may be worn by members of the club. It was also mentioned that the lettermen’s movement to increase school spirit should be well underway at the start of basketball season. Election of club officers was held at the meeting, and the results will be published in the Miegian at a later date. Having explained the blessing, Father Sullivan asked the seniors to hold out their rings to indicate what was to be blessed, and he solemnly blessed them. Following this, the seniors, led by class president Dave Fortin, offered a prayer for the poor souls. who kill themselves at their secret meeting place. The characters were: Pyramus- Jim Boydston, Thisbe- Ed Younger, the VVall- Doug Van Note, the Lion- Ron Meinert, and the Moon- Richard Annan. Kay Mork O kiss me through the hole in this vile wall.

Juniors Portray Pyramus and Thisbe” - 125 - Quizlines by Steve Murray “What do you think of Russia’s testing the 50-megaton bomb?” I think it is a big mistake for the Rus- sians to keep setting this bomb off, because the fallout will affect the Russians as well as the other people in the world. I feel that this testing isn’t help- ing the world situa- tion, because the Rus- sians are working in secrecy and others don’t know what to ex- pect next. Kathy Gunigal I feel that the at- mospheric tests by Russia were foolish moves because of the danger of harming others by fallout. I think, also, as a result of this testing, ill-feel- ing towards the Rus- sians will develop, and because of this, they are endangering the world by war. Mike Bader I don't think this bomb is good and the testing is not in favor of the peoples of the world. I say this be- cause I think that it will be harmful to their lives now as well as to future genera- tions. I think also that the fallout which is the result of blasting, after it comes down from the stratosphere, will be harmful to the eating factor. I think that the Russians are very fool- ish in exploding this bo mb. If this bo mb produces all the fall- out that has been stat- ed that it does, a lot of people will suffer the affects now, and in later years by muta- tion, cancer, or leuke- mia. I think the Rus- sians are only boasting their power so that other nations will fear them. Joe Hickey Art His Hobby Jay Walsh, Junior Prefers Cartoons One particularly optimistic American was once overheard to say, “Well, the Russians may be beating us in the ‘race for space’ but we’re years ahead of them in our car- toons.” Miege is privileged to have a stu- dent whose cartoons would truly put Rus- sia’s “stick men” to shame. Some of Jay Walsh’s cartoons have been appearing in the Miegian for two years now and are thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Jay’s hobby, oddly enough, is art. At home he draws or scribbles, as he so mod- estly puts it, every spare minute possible. A good portion of the drawing Jay does at home is cartoons although he has done some oil painting. He is adept at both cartoon- ing and serious painting, but he prefers to draw cartoons because he says, “They’re more fun to draw.” Jay’s hobby has brought him many prizes in the last several years. Last year, through Sister Stephen’s guidance, he re- ceived awards in both the Archdiocesan CYO Art Contest — a first prize for his oil painting, a second for his scratchboard, In the last issue, through the careless neg- lect of this columnist, several names were omitted from the list of illustrious grads of ’61 who are now attending St. Teresa’s. Omitted were Pat Kirby, Kathy Rizzo, and Eileen Estevez. Rockhurst is claiming a goodly number of the grads of ’61: John Raydo, Bob Sny- der, Mike Bell, Larry Brooks, Don Cain, Dick Clark, Paul Gerling, Jack Schwab, and Dan Doherty. Jack Schwab is a re- porter for the Hawk, Rockhurst College’s school paper. Lending their talents to KU are Bob Lambour, Patti Koos, Mike Doyle, Terry Sullivan, and Bob Koetting.

Jim Knez and Jo Magerl, graduates of Miege Delegates to NCYC, Buffalo On November 8, three Miege representa- tives left for the National Catholic Youth Convention held in Buffalo, New York No- vember 9 to 12. They were Carol O’Connell who participated in a panel on early mar- riages; Janet Rubin, the Miege delegate; and Mary Marks, Miege observer. U. S. Attorney General Robert F. Kenne- dy was presented with the For God and Youth Medal because of his interest in youth, his exemplary Catholic life, and his outstanding record of public service. Also making their appearance at the conven- tion were Ed Sullivan, who spoke at the convention breakfast, and Dwayne Hick- man. The convention also included a Cotil- lion dance Friday night, various panels throughout Buffalo, a sightseeing tour of Niagara Falls, and a trip across the Cana- dian border. The convention schedule was similiar to the one held in Kansas City two years ago. The convention closed with a Solemn Pontifical Mass at 4:30 Sunday afternoon. and a third for his pencil drawings; and in the Scholastic Art Contest — an honor- able mention for his rubber stamp design. The oil for which he won a first place was the second oil he had ever painted and it was done in merely two weeks. Jay has also experienced defeat with his art work. Four years ago he submitted one of his cartoons to the Saturday Evening Post and they returned it with a polite let- ter which in effect, told him not to give up, but to try again in a few years. Jay has decided to make art his life’s work. His parents, especially his father who is artistic and draws for a hobby, are com- pletely in favor of his plans. After high school, Jay plans to attend college and to major in art and ultimately to pursue a career as a cartoonist or a commercial art- Ann Linton ’61, are furthering their studies at Donnelly College.

Alumni News by Kathy Dueber - 126 - Cyclones Stop Stags Short The final game of the season proved to be the stumbling block as the season ended as it began-with defeat. Going into the game with Ward, the Stags were three touchdown underdogs, but ended up on the short end of a 13-7 score. The winning streak stopped at six, and Miege finished off the season with a 6 - 3 record. Even without their all-state center John Novosel, Ward completely dominated the first half play in running up a 13 - 0 edge. Both Ward touchdowns were scored by Pat Scherzer on short plunges while Franco kicked one extra point, and Mike Murray blocked the other. At the end of the first half there was little doubt that Ward had played the better game. However, the sec- ond half was a dif- ferent story; the Stags came out of the locker room and completely dominat- ed it statistically. Miege first got the ball on theirown thirty-five yard line, and marched the sixty-five yards for a score completely on the ground. The tally finally came with 1:59 left in the third q uarteron a six yard plunge by fullback Ed Young- er. Mike Murray skirted right end for the extra point, and Miege seemed in command w i th the score only 13-7, Ward. During the final quarter, the Stags fought desperately to gain possession of the football, but the first time they got it they had a pass intercepted, and Ward continued, to eat up the clock. With two minutes and twenty seconds left, Ted Dickey alertly recovered a fumble on his own thirty yard line, and the offense had a chance to get into gear. A pass from Mur- ray to Smith netted 18 yards to the Ward 48. Another pass, this time to Rollheiser was good for seven yards to the Ward 41. But the drive was stopped by a fifteen yard clipping penalty, and four passes netting only ten yards so that Ward took over, and ran out the clock for the victory. The game was one of the hardest fought in years against two evenly matched teams. No individual stars could be named, since all did their utmost for a victory. It was a Fitting end to one of the best seasons for Miege against the toughest schedule that the school has ever faced on the gridiron. Stags Stomp Indians The Miege Stags ground out their sixth consecutive victory of the season as they downed Southwest 12 - 0 at Rockhurst stad- ium in a game which was primarily a de- fensive battle. The Stags, who have been forced to use a different backfield every week due to injuries, went with Gary Roll- heiser, a converted halfback, at quarter- back; Mike Murray, formerly a quarter- back, at halfback; regular halfback Dave Lerner; and reserve halfback Ed Younger at fullback. This make-shift backfield prov- ed to be opportunists as they took advan- tage of two breaks to provide the margin of victory. The first score came after center Ron Meinert recovered a Southwest fumble on the Indians 15 yard line. Four plays later, Dave Lerner smashed over from the four to give the Stags a lead of 6 - 0 at the end of the first quarter. Midway through the third quarter, Mur- ray heaved a long pass to Rollheiser who seemed to take the ball out of two South- west defenders' arms and walk the sideline into the end zone untouched. The play cov- ered fifty yards all together - thirty by air and twenty on the ground. Before, between and after these offen- sive splashes, the Miege defense bottled up the Indians when it counted, twice holding them short of paydirt after first and goal situations. This game showed the caliber of school spirit at Miege; with temperatures below freezing, the Miege side was full while Southwest had but a handful. This game set the stage for the battle between Miege and Ward since both had identical six wins, and two loss records before the game. Homecoming Produces 5 Breaking the annual tradition of losses for homecoming, Miege celebrated the oc- casion in a more satisfactory manner by downing the Rosedale Wildcats 19 - 0 at Ward field. The game actually was more one-sided than the score would indicate as the Stags ran up a huge statistical bulge over their opponents. Miege ran up twenty first down’s to Rosedale’s three gained 305 yards rushing and held Rosedale to only 77 over all. Responsible for most of the yard- age were two junior halfbacks, Dave Lern- er and Ed Younger. Lerner was the big man in the Stags’ offense as he picked up 142 on 18 carries and scored two touchdowns. He got a big assist from Younger, however, who added this 81 yards on 18 carries. The first Miege tally was produced almost single-hand- edly by Lerner in the first quarter. In fact he moved the ball 52 yards includ- ing a thirteen yard scamper for the tal- ly. A run for the ex- tra point failed and the halfti me score was 6-0. After the half- ti me festivities, Miege came back to score again, this time on a fourteen yard gallop by quar- terback Mike Mur- ray, which climaxed an eighty-one yard march. In the final stan- za, the Stags march- ed to the Rosedale six yard-line where Lerner, seemingly bored by the whole thing, nonchalantly scored again, only to have it called back by a pen- alty. Carrying the ball from the eleven, Dave tried a new method as he slyly slip- ped across by running backwards for the last five yards and his second touchdown. Frantically attempting to keep the score from being divisible by six, Miege tried a new attack to the extra point problem, send- ing in Fat Kelly to kick. This method prov- ed successful, as Kelly split the uprights to give the Stags their final margin of 19 - 0. Several fine individual performances were the key to victory. On offense, in addition to Lerner and Younger, stood out a fine new quarterback. Rich tSmalley Hogg) McGill in his First starting role. On defense center, T. L. Dickey; Phil Meitner, guard; Tom Keehn, tackle; and Mike D. Murray put on an excellent show of skill. The victory top- ped off an already successful homecoming weekend. - 127 - Total Season Statistics School Records Broken or Tied in 1961.

It seems like only a very short time has elapsed since I was making prepara- tions for this season. Perhaps the reason it seems like such a short time is the fact that we have concluded another successful foot- ball season at Miege. I am sure that had we continued in the manner in which we start- ed the season we would have been anxiously awaiting the season's end. After the two disheartening losses to Rockhurst and De La Salle we were able to rise to the occasion and win six consecu- tive games before bowing to a very good Ward team 13-7. The scores, stories, and heroes of these six wins and three losses, the majority of you are familiar with and it’s not my pur- pose here to retell those games. At the end of any venture it is the respon- sibility of people to stop and look back and see what has been accomplished. This is my task at the end of every football season. What have we accomplished by the foot- ball season of 1961? Certainly we have had a successful year in the win-loss column, have played very good, respectable football, and in a sportsmanlike manner that has made us all proud. But what of the lessons we have learned? In regard to the team, I am hopeful that we learned several valuable ones that have and will make us better men. As a squad, we have had individuals learn that what we sometimes deserve most is deprived us. The Ward and Rockhurst games are examples. Why are we so depriv- ed? Is there a reason? Is the reason because one or more than one did not do his job in preparing, practicing or performing? That every person must answer for himself. Some- times we have to accept losses, not only in football, for the reason that things do hap- pen for the best for all of us. But again what have we gained? As a school we have proved that we could be down (after two losses) and rise again. It’s easy for fans to follow a winning team, but it is a different story when your favorite team loses. How many of you would hav6 been so enthusiastic at Ward field against Ward in the finale had we only won two and lost six? I hope all of you could answer positively. Yes we as players, coaches, fans, had a tremendous opportunity to learn a valuable lesson this season after two straight open- ing losses, and you were all a part of this. I only wish more of you boys could have been a part of a wonderful team and sea- son. Many of you, I am sure would have been proud to run off the field at Ward with your heads high and proud of yourself and your team as I was. Perhaps many of you will wish to be a part of it next season. Do so if possible because fortunate is the per- son who has the opportunity of challenges to face but courageous indeed is the one who can accept and meet them. Coach Hyard - 128 - The Miegian No. 5 Bishop Miege High - Mission, Kans. Dec. 22, 1961 and arc Dear Faculty and Students: Peace does not consist merely in the ab- sence of war or tension among men. True peace is not found in the absence of some- thing. but in the abiding presence of Some- one in the minds and hearts of men. As we celebrate the birthday of the Prince of Peace, 1 pray that each of you may be blessed with that Peace which the world cannot 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 Rich Koch Seen As Outstanding Senior The purpose of this article is to give rec- ognition to a senior, Rich Koch, who often does not receive the honor which he justly deserves for his many achievements. Rich’s academic record has been outstand- ing for his complete four years at Miege. Last quarter he received the first 4.0 aver- age to be attained by anyone in the class of ’62. Rich presently has the highest grade average in the entire class for all four years. If he is able to keep up his present pace, he will inevitably be named as valedictor- ian at graduation ceremonies. Rich is also active extracurricularly. He is a member of the choir, a charter member of the Math Club, has his own column in the school paper, and was admitted to the National Honor Society. He was also recently ap- pointed as the representative from Miege to write for the Eastern Kansas Register. And currently Rich is helping half the sen- ior class stay in physics and trig. I think the country could � e divided up into two opposing groups, those who are staunch supporters of nothing in particular and those who firmly oppose everything in general. Father Abbot, don’t you believe someone should inform Brother Isi- dore that it is Advent? Bill Humphrey Unpopular Music Should Be Popular By Richard Koch There is one thing generally missing on radio today, and that is the highest type of music, classical music. I cannot say that jazz and the blues are not good forms of music, but I will say that they are not the best types of music. Classical music is the highest form of the art which can be attained. Not that music has to be old to be good but it must have certain qualities which are missing in modern music. The first quality is beauty, not beauty of rhythm, but beauty of expression. The second qual- ity is a lasting value; it must be capable of being ap- preciated for all ages. The third and last quality is a theme of deep meaning. Modern music is definitely lacking in the first qual- ity. The beauty of modern music depends upon rhythm and this is not the highest form of beauty. Classical music is greater than modern music in at least this one respect. Modern music appeals to the rhythmic and co-ordinative powers of man which are qualities of the body. Classical music however does not depend upon rhythm but on the expression of ideas; this expression is a quality of the soul of man is therefore the higher type of music. It depends upon the composer’s ability to convey deep emotional feelings to the listener. As for the second quality, modem music must fail to achieve this lasting appreciation. Modern music is an expression of a progressive era is doomed by its founda- tion of progression, for music will advance away from our modern music, perhaps back to the classical form of music. As for the third quality, the deep theme, modem music often has such a theme in expressing the inner feelings of people but this expression lacks the force and clarity which is given in the powerful works of the classical field. If classical music is so great, why do not more people enjoy it, why don’t we students like it? Perhaps the reason is that we are unacquainted with classical com- positions. This is a misfortune for everyone should have a chance to choose the type of music he likes best, and if a person hasn’t been acquainted with clas- sical music, How can he appreciate it? The best way of acquiring an appreciation for clas- sical music is to listen to a great deal of it for one week or more without listening to rock-and-roll or any other form of modern music. After this period modern music will sound extremely shallow; the power of the classical music will overshadow any power which modern music may have had. After learning to enjoy classical music, a study of the compositions and their composers, of the ideas expressed by the music, will increase this enjoyment even more. President Makes S.C. Report This year we have tried more than ever before to make the Student Council the liason between the stu- dents and the faculty. We have tried to accomplish this through homeroom periods and through Student Council representatives. Many new ideas have been channeled through the homeroom periods to the Stu- dent Council and then to the faculty. Some of the ideas under consideration are: a student directory, the creation of new clubs, and a leisure time before and after lunch. However, let us remember that these ideas cannot be carried out unless complete cooperation of the en- tire student body is attained. It is very encouraging to know that at last all the schools of this area have made some progress in esta- blishing a city wide Student Council. Our student council is very proud to have played an all important role in this founding. It was through our efforts on December 12, 1961, that these schools were joined to- gether. We are confident something important will come of this meeting. We are also proud to announce our membership in the National Association of Student Councils. Our Stu- dent Council and student body will reap many bene- fits from this membership.

It is wonderful to see so many families receive Our Lord into their homes on Christ- mas. Bob Foley To me Christmas is a time of warm hearts, beautiful carols, and a wonderful spirit of happiness. It is a time in which to recall and honor the small Infant Who made real joy possible. Kathy Gaughan My idea of a real Christmas is one in which everyone gives gifts with the inten- tion of giving, not giv- ing to receive. Giving leaves us with a whole- some feeling, while re- ceiving often leaves us feeling empty. I feel that the spiritual side of Christmas should be given more emphasis for in this day and age, Christmas seems to have turned to a ma- terialistic holiday. Michael D. Murray To me Christmas is one of the most joyful times of the year. I have Christ with me 365 days of the year, but on this His special day, I realize even more how great He really is, and am thank- ful for the many bles- sings He has bestowed on me. Christmas is a time when families gather to rejoice in His greatness.

Marcia Crawford spoke on mathe- matics in the twentieth century. Future mathematics was discussed by Rich McGill. Dan Furst told the candidates of their re- sponsibilities as members of Mu Alpha The- ta. Father Sullivan then presented the certi- ficates of membership to the new members and said that he hoped they would keep measuring up to the requirements of the society during the next semester. President of the Math Club Jed Kee end- ed the meeting by reviewing the require- ments for membership. The newly installed members were: San- dra Bauman, Julie Dold, Dave Fortin, Mike Grady, Shirley Johnson, Larry Kellerman, Vicki Koch, Richard Koch, Julie Ladesic, and David Staab. Po-Vo—On Friday evening, November 24 thirty-eight members of Po-Vo departed on a bus trip to Paola, Kansas. They spent the weekend similar to a day of recollection at Ursuline Convent at Paola. On Saturday, President Kennedy has recently revealed his plan to take over Cuba. First, he is going to send his father down to see if he can buy it. If that doesn’t work, he is going to send Vice-President Johnson down to try to steal it. If all else fails, he is going to send Harry down to tell Fidel what he can do with it. Did you hear the story about the priests who formed a bowling team? They called themselves the “HOLY ROLLERS.” Even though they had a victorious season, President Kennedy’s touch football team didn't get a bid to the Rose Bowl. - 131 - talks were given to the girls by several mem- bers of the religious life. Sister Marcella, the former Novice Mistress, spoke on the joy of living. Sister Eugene of the Ursuline Academy explained the Psalms found in the Divine Office. Father Job Harrington, the pastor of St. Patrick's Church at Emerald, Kansas, spoke on the religious life. On Sat- urday night, the Novitiate entertained the Po-Vo’s with a dramatic production of Green Pastures. The weekend closed with the Po-Vo’s joining with the Novitiate to sing the High Mass on Sunday morning in St. Ursula’s chapel at the Mother House. Also as one of the November activities of the Po-Vo’s, Mother Cecilia of the Ursuline Convent at Paola, Kansas was invited to speak at one of their special meetings. Mo- ther Cecilia spoke on “You and Your Per- sonality.” She showed how, even though a person cannot change, the physical aspect of our lives as well as the mental aspect af- fects our personality. This personality can change so that we can be more pleasing to work of Christ. Forty members of Po-Vo, as well as Monsignor Koch and Father Sul- livan, attended the talk. Science Club--On November 29 about 25 members of the Science Club visited the K. U. Medical Center. Some of the most inter- esting things which they saw were the oc- cupational therapy division where they lis- tened to a talk on this phase of medical work, the hydro therapy division where water apparatus is used to start circulation after a member of the body has been out of use, and the physical therapy division. The members of the Science Club went to the auditorium of the center where a doctor explained the mechanical heart and lungs and showed a movie of an operation on a dog where a mechanical heart was used. Mr. Smith, who operates the mechanical heart, answered the questions of the mem- bers. The visit ended with a talk on medi- cal careers. by Rusty Scholtes The number one song in the nation this week is We Feed Our Baby Garlic so we can Find Him in the Dark” by the Clorettes. Did you hear about the couple who cele- brated their 30th wedding anniversary? He gave her a thirty-two piece dinner set; -16 uppers and 16 lowers. Then there was a kleptomaniac who after stealing twelve loads of lumber, decided to repent. The priest asked him if he knew how to make a Novena. No, Father,” he replied, but if you’ve got the plans, I’ve got the lumber.” ODDS 'N’ ENDS Tournaments and Trophies Highlight Debate Season Don Bollard and Jed Kee display trophies won at Rockhurst and Topeka. Kee-Bollard Capture Second Debate Trophy Don Bollard and Jed Kee, third place trophy winners at Rockhurst, again brought home a trophy from their second tourna- ment at Topeka Central high School, To- peka, Kansas, on November 17 and 18. The Topeka Central Tournament is one of the roughest of the debate season. Over thirty Kansas schools sent 120 experienced debate teams to this tournament. Besides Kee and Bollard, Miege was represented by John Wheeler, Ted Dickey, Dan Furst, and Rich McGill, all senior experienced debaters. Don and Jed established an excellent record in the six preliminary rounds by go- ing undefeated with 19 speaker points-one more than perfect. This enabled them to enter the semi-finals which resulted in the winning of a third place trophy. The other two Miege teams also obtained fine records. John and Ted won five while losing only one. Dan and Rich won three and lost three. By winning five debate trophies in the last three years Miege has become a debate power recognized throughout Kansas and Missouri. The top four Miege debaters will go to tournaments at Emporia and Shaw- nee Mission North in January. This will lead up to the district and state tourna- ments which are held in the end of January. With prospects excellent, Miege debaters are aiming at the state tournament and an- other successful debate year. Shirley Johnson Miege Holds First Debate Tournament Miege held its first Invitational Debate Tournament December I and 2, with thir- teen schools and forty-eight teams partici- pating. The tournament opened Friday at 12:45 with an assembly and a welcome to the debaters by Father Sullivan. Three rounds of debate were held that day with the first round given before the sixth hour classes. The last three rounds of debate were held on Saturday morning beginning at 8:30. The results were announced at 1:30 and the semi-finals and final rounds were held Sat- urday afternoon. Four trophies were awarded the winning teams as follows: Rosedale, first place; Wil- liam Chrisman, second; Washington and Shawnee Mission North, third. Other schools participating were: Fre- donia, Lawrence, Rockhurst, St. Pius X, Shawnee Mission East, Topeka Central, Topeka West, and Wyandotte. The debate class handled the regulation and the arrangements for the tournament and the speech classes provided helpers and time keepers. John Wheeler, senior, was tournament chairman. Patrice Krampff John Wheeler, debate chairman, discusses debate results with Dave Fortin and Rich McGill.

' ‘Zhe £img Mass ’ ’ Reviewed by Author The Reverend Harold Wickey, author of The Living Mass, gave a ‘digest review” of his book to all interested Stags on Novem- ber 17 in the school cafeteria. The Mass is man's way to God and, therefore, should be his all, Father Wickey said. It is to the Mass man should turn when frightened, when anxious, when sick, when in need of any kind, for the Mass is the supreme consolation of man on earth. It is, also, to the Mass man should turn when happy, when grateful, when content and at peace, for man can see glory in the Mass no matter what his mood, Father further explained. Father Wickey, a native of Kansas City, is from St. Rose of Lima Parish. He grad- uated from Ward High School and did his graduate work at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. Father said his first Mass at St. Agnes Church and is now assistant pastor at Blessed Sacrament.

C. l urst James E. Kee Richard Koch John Wheeler Students Shuffled In the past few weeks, Miege has lost and gained some new Stags. What are some of the opinions of these Stags? Mickey Fleskes, sophomore from Oregon, thinks Miege is OK, but he observes that it doesn’t seem to be as hard as his former school as yet. Someone may want to argue and say that school couldn’t get much more difficult. Sheryl Johnson, a junior who recently came from Omaha, Nebraska, says Miege is a bigger school than she is used to and on the whole, everyone is quite friendly. The first impression of Tim Connelly, a junior from California was that of the school’s appearance-clean, well-kept, and a convenient floor plan. ‘‘The students make me feel at ease and thankful that I could attend such a wonderful school.” Kay and Jeff Mork moved to Minnesota. ‘ Each time I move, it becomes harder to do so,” commented Kay before she left. Nuns Honored At Annual Silver Tea The Bishop Miege PTO had its annual silver tea in honor of the Ursuline Sisters on Monday evening, November 20, at 8 o’clock in the school cafeteria. The students under the direction of Sister Marie Therese presented the musical program. The mixed chorus vocalized on a number of selections including Cranberry Corners, and the twen- ty-four girl ensemble sang Around the World, and others. A group of French stu- dents presented a medley of French popular and folk songs, with a short translation be- fore each selection by sophomore Mary Ann Manuel. Following the musical program the Miege representatives to Boys’ State last summer, Jed Kee and Dave Fortin, gave a report on their activities while there. On November 13, the Roman Senate in all its splendor was re-created in the Latin Club meeting in Room 13. For a few min- utes Marcus Tullius Cicero journeyed from the pages of history into 1961 in the person of Frank Syzmanski and hammered phrase after phrase of scorn and derision at the enemy of the state, Catiline, who was por- trayed by Bob Foley. Representing the sen- ators of Rome were Gary Little, Michael D. Murray, and Tom Horan. The narrator and translator was Paul Keenan. As the play opened, Circero approached the rostrum, scornfully beheld the visage of Cataline, and spoke the bitter words, “How much longer will you continue to try our patience, Catiline?” Among the more dramatic scenes were 1) the firmness with which Cicero told Cati- line that he would not be permitted to stay within the Roman province, and banging his fist sharply on the rostrum, expressed the sentiments, “Non feram, non patior, non sinam,” meaning, “I will not endure it, suffer it, tolerate it.” 2) At the close of the presentation when, Cicero having finished, Catiline attempted to defend himself, to be met only with cries of “Traitor!” Traitor!” from the senators. Annoyed and defeated, the enemy senator stomped from the room, muttering a curse. The play was directed by Sisters Ray- mond and de Lourdes. The Sisters arranged the chairs and rostrum in the style of the Roman senate and had the cast garb them- selves in togas. Paul Keenan Junior Corn Hit the Road, Jack...It’s too cold for swimming.

Cantata selections were: Noel, No Room at the Inn, by the chorus; Annunciation, by the speech class; Magnificat, a solo by Mary Nash; Mother s Lullaby, Sing We All, by the ensemble; and Shepherds, sung by the boys of the choir. - 134 - Jay Walsh, junior, and Gary Link, senior, place their trophies presented by the Optimist Club, in the trophy case at the front entrance of the school. Students Honored In Youth Week Six students, outstanding in their class and school, received engraved trophies in rec- ognition of their work in the classroom and school, as a part of the Youth Appreciation Week program of the Mission Optimist Club. The presentation of the trophies took place at the regular Monday noon luncheon meeting of the Club in the conference room of the Little Banquet restaurant in Mission, on November 13. The youths receiving the honors were: Jay Walsh and Gary Link of Bishop Miege High; Betty Violet and Tarby Kahn of Old Mission High; and Nick Sharp and Kent Pearson of Shawnee Mission North High. Also present as reporters for their school paper were Kay Harris reporting for “PAU- PRINTS” of Old Mission Junior High, and Jed Kee, reporting for the MIEGIAN of Bishop Miege High. These students were also guests of the Mission Club at the regional Presidents’ Dinner at the Muehlebach Friday, Novem- ber 17 when Youth Appreciation Week was observed by Optimists of the greater Kan- sas City area. Youth Appreciation Week is only one of the many youth programs of the Optimist Club. It is held once a year by Optimist In- ternational to appreciate the youth of the country for what they have done, and what they will do in the future. Student Journalists Mold Public Opinion Miegian staff members Larry Alley and Elaine Hunter attended the Catholic School Press Association at the College of St. Tere- sa, November 18. Among the main speakers, the Reverend Father John J. Reedy, CSC, editor of Notre Dame’s Ave Maria spoke on “Where the Blind Must Lead.” Father stated that since the student journalist molds public opinion, and since opinion involves an amount of un- certainty, the Catholic student journalist must strive to make his effect on public opinion that of an informed, intelligent, maturing citizen. The Catholic student journalist must help to make his school newspaper one of the small group of in- formed, influential people and organiza- tions that have more effect on public opin- ion than a group of indifferent people.” At the second session, Larry Alley, senior, introduced the speaker, Sister Faith, OSB, well-known in literary circles for her poetry and short stories. Sister is chairman of the English department at Donnelly College. In her talk Sister explained that reading will give the writer not only recreation but also inspiration. She told delegates not to read just books, but nature, the face of the Crucified Christ, a rainy day, the pastoral scene - everything in creation. Safety Talk Given Miege participated in a program given by the National Safety Council to bring home to the drivers of the nation the idea that safety is a personal matter. In the Miege cafeteria members of the Kansas Highway Patrol showed slides illustrating the com- binations of events which caused the acci- dents pictured and the actual disastrous effects. The slides were narrated by Trooper Ralph K. Collier of Topeka, Kansas. Also present were Trooper Goddard of the High- Patrol and Mr. Yonnely of the Kansas City Police Department. During the year this program is to be pre- sented to the driving high school students of the state as part of a nation-wide attempt to alleviate the slaughter on our highways. The use of actual cases, causes and effects, is meant to impress upon people that acci- dents don’t always happen to the other fel- low, and that accidents don’t just happen - they are caused by driver’s attitudes. As Trooper Collier put, “Not until every driver gets behind the wheel with a healthy fear of the tremendously responsible task he is about to undertake, will our public roads and highways be truly safe. Jackie Roehrig LARRY BROOKS, whose hobby is modem art, endeavors to become an architectural engineer and to finish last years of college work at K.U. An active member of the French Club, Larry also keeps himself busy as the manager of two buildings for the E. A. Long development company.

Launches Cultural Program The National Honor Society has decided, after a suggestion by the program commit- tee, to devote most of its meetings to cul- tural knowledge. The study will be under- taken through reports and panel discussions on many cultural topics using records, slides, and pictures. One topic for discussion is the study of art involving specific paintings, painters, and techniques. Another is music, a study of specific operas, ballets, compos- ers, and instruments. Drama, Russian cul- ture, and literature were also suggested topics. The field of cultural studies is so broad that the members cannot hope to cover it thoroughly, but wish to acquire a general knowledge of cultural works. Sr. Stephen, the sponsor the National Honor Society, began this club program on November 28 with a talk on the works of Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky. She played re- corded selections from the composer’s more famous works, including the Nutcracker Suite, the 1812 Overture, and Capriccio Italien. The meeting closed with Van Cli- burn’s recording of Tschaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B Flat Minor.

Alumni News by Kathy Dueber - 135 - THEORIES We are told that there now exists an im- mense educational gap between the Soviet Union and the United States. This gap exists primarily in the fields of mathematics and science. To answer this challenge, there has arisen from the masses a leader of men, a giant” among giants - Coach Frazier. This gentleman, who teaches in the off-season, is definitely the answer to the nation’s para- mount question - pass blocking, forearm throwing, and marine tumbling. Mr. Frazier is presently teaching seniors how to tell the difference between a compass and a pro- tractor. After many sleepless nights, the author has finally come up with the annual grid- iron awards. Here they are: Most Valuable: In over-all service, Bernard Loomis walked away with top honors. Helen Curtis Award: This one goes to the player with the most original hair style for the season. I know that there is only one choice - Glen Smith. Part of the cred- it should be given to Mike J. Murray who trims it up for of Smitty. Best Dressed: This award was a run away for Coach Frazier. The Pitching Proctor was way out ahead. His brand, an odd one called “Faye’s Finest.” Jack Dempsey Award: A run away; Mike D. Murray. There were also a few individual records set this year. These were: Most tape use - Larry Rouse - 3.7 miles in six games. Phil Meitner - Used the same towel for eight straight weeks. It finally just walk- ed out of the locker room one night. President McGill: Old R. M. took a thir- teen-second shower to wipe out any pre- vious records. Mitch Miller Award: This award goes to the top locker-room singer fof the year. This season’s race was extremely close with Eddie Younger nosing out Earl” Clifford. Hypochondriac of The Year: Kidney Trouble? With that kind of story, Beau- regard Rollheiser walked away with the award. It was a Steele for him. I have just recently been informed of a very interesting sidelight to the season. Four years ago, Bill Numrich was walking Football Awards Presented First Game, First Loss St. John’s Seminary handed Miege its first loss in as many games for the new roundball season. After piling up a 5-0 lead early in the game, the Stags were complete- ly outclassed as St. John’s won going awa.y. A hot hand in the first half enabled them to pile up a lead they were never to relin- quish when at last a bystander was kind enough to take the lid off the Miege goal. However, Miege never seemed to get into gear, although there were at times signs of a spark which should pull them through into a winning season. Ted’s (cont.) by the practice field during a football prac- tice. Now Battling Bill is a member par ex- cellence of the volunteer fire department. He is always real alert for a possible fire. As he was walking by, he overheard the coaches talking to the players and the gist of the conversation was getting “fired” up. Well, Bill immediately joined up, expecting to see some fire fighting action real soon. For four years now he has been waiting for this action; never any fire did he see. Four years is a mighty long time to wait for a little smoke, so after the Ward game he decided to give up his vigilance. He just plain quit. On behalf of all the players, I would like to express our sincere and public apology to Willie for so cruelly deceiving him. Miege’s basketball hopes took a turn for the worse last week when a list of those boys who were not planning to engage in the roundball sport was posted. It contain- ed such fellows as: Ed Schumm, Clifford Seitter, Philip Meitner, Coach Frazier. Carol McAvoy, and others. We are told that this list of boys was posted for a two-fold purpose: The first was to inform the stu- dent body of the boys who weren’t partici- pating and the second was for Coach Schmeideler to let Susie Wickersham know which boys were free after school. Question and answer period Q. Why is Joyce Granquist called the Goon? A. We let Joyce answer that one herself. “Why, certainly!!!” Q. Why is Jenny Allen called the None? A. Contrary to popular belief, this name applies to Miss Allen’s ability to free her car when it is stuck in the mud at 1:00 a.m. - absolutely NONE. Q. Can Dave Fortin actually read as fast as it appears he can? A. No. Dave is actually a witch and has the power to just glance at a page and know what’s on it. Q. Is Coach Byard really over forty? A. Mr. Frazier told the girls he was. Q. What sport does Coach Frazier prefer? A. If you mean only the ones that the NC- AA supports, leap frog. At the football banquet on De- cember 3, the season was closed with the presentation of awards. The principle speaker was John Fletcher who spoke after the play- ers had all polished off good steaks (the banquet was held at the Gold- en Ox.) The award of Lineman of the Year went to Tom Keehn, jun- ior tackle. Gary Rollheiser, sen- ior halfback and quarterback was named Back of the Year. Awarded the Sportsmanship award for the best all around good behavior was Cliff Seitter, senior tackle. Pete Chisam was named Most Improv- ed. In addition, the next year’s captains were elected by the play- ers and informed of their responsi- bility. They are Larry Kellerman and Mike J. Murray. Basketball Prognostications Although the last two seasons have not been extraordinarily successful for Miege basketball teams, this year the outlook is considerably brighter. Only two lettermen return, but this year’s squad should have a good chance to better last year’s 7-10 re- cord, and maybe even to turn in a winning season. Coach Schmiedler plans to employ a pressing defense this year, and an offense consisting of three guards and two forwards, junking the post man. Candidates for the two forwards are led by 6' 3 senior Bill Leins who was a regular last year. Playing opposite him will be Mike Ferrari, Tom Dwyer, or Jim Bornheimer. In the backcourt, four men are in the running for the starting positions. Two sen- iors, Tom O’Connell and Gary Rollheiser lead the way but are being pressed by Ed Younger and Bronheimer, who play both po- sitions well for sophomores. In pre-season scrimmages the overall shooting an defense work of the squad has been good. Rebounding has improved, but still could be better. The two big guns in the intra-squad game were Bill Leins with 21 points, and O’Connell with 20. Watch them as the season progresses. The schedule this year includes two new opponents, Argentine and Rosedale, along with such traditionally strong roundball schools as Hayden, Sumner, W'ard and Rock- hurst. As has been the trend with Miege sports, the schedule has gotten progressively harder giving each squad more and more of a task to equal the teams past performances. Miege also will participate in the Catholic League tournament over the Christmas va- cation. - 136- Poetry First - Connie Magee (senior) Second - Connie Magee (senior) Third - Nancy Blodgett (sophomore) Honorable Mention - Bill Humphrey (senior) Cartoon First - Jay Walsh (junior) Second - Jim Boydston (junior) Third - Terry Pyle (freshman) Literature stands related to Man as Science stands to Na- ture; it is his history.

John Henry Newman - Literature and Life ■ THE MIEGIAN Bishop Miege High Shawnee Mission, Kans. No. 6 January 23, 1962 - 137 - MIEGIAN LITERARY CONTEST WINNERS Cetters to the Editor Mistakes seen in John Birch Editorial To the Editor: Due to my strong agreement with Jed Kee’s statement, “We do not believe that any argument can be won by smearing as traitors and enemies those with whom we sometimes disagree ' I have chosen to correct some of his unfortunate mistakes about the John Birch Society. In writing his editorial Mr. Kee did precisely what he believes is so detrimental. He quotes the Los Angeles Times in such a way as to imply that the John Birch Society is subversive. John Birchers do not compile lists of suspected Communists as Mr. Kee seems to believe they do. In reality the Society discusses current problems, informs members of pending legislation, and encourages them to write letters to newspapers and governnient officials. When did it become subversive “peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances?” When did it become subver- sive to suggest the impeachment of a government official? If impeach- ment is subversive why is it provided for in the Constitution? And why have government officials been impeached in the past? After all, the Supreme Court did initiate a very dangerous prece- dent in the case of Brown v. Board of Education when it based its de- cision on Sociology instead of Law. If we allow our Supreme Court Justices to assume legislative powers it will take only five men to de- cide that the Catholic school system is sociologically wrong, and there- fore legislate it out of existence. Come now, let’s not tag the society subversive and anti-Negro just because it recognizes the danger of tak- ing legislative powers out of the hands of elected representatives of the people and giving it to a few men who are appointed for life. If the John Birch Society were really in favor of “keeping the Negro in his place,” as Mr. Kee says it is, then why would so many Negroes be joining? It is completely without logic to say that because the John Birch Society opposes Communism it is anti-Negro. Fewer Negroes be- come Communists than the people of any other group. I can also assure Mr. Kee that the John Birch Society does not dis- agree with the Pope. Never in any of its publications, nor in any Birch- er’s speech, nor at any chapter meeting have I heard the statement, “We, the John Birch Society, believe that the poor should become poorer and the rich, richer.” Have you, Mr. Kee? It is certainly true that, The seeds of Communism spread best in an atmosphere of fear and hate.” By his extreme and inaccurate remarks about the John Birch Society, Mr. Kee certainly is not spreading trust and love. Let us love our neighbor even if he is a Bircher and dispute his ideas without contempt for his person, name calling, nor labelling him subversive. I hope the Miegian will print this letter and thereby correct some errors printed in its issue of November third. Sincerely yours (Miss) Norma Stamps Editor’s Comment on John Birch Society Miss Stamps, I believe you must truly be ignorant of the aims of the John Birch Society, although it seems from your letter that you do attend their meetings. You state that you are in agreement with me that no argument can be won by smearing as traitors those whom we disagree. But in the view of the Society’s founder, President Ken- nedy, Truman, and Eisenhower, John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, Chester Bowles, and many others are all at the least pro-communist dupes. I ask Miss Stamps, is this spreading love and trust-or is this a smear? If it is not true that the Birch Society deals in “mud slurring” the Attorney General, Robert Kennedy lied when he said, “I have no sympathy with those who in the name of fighting Communism sow seeds of suspicion and distrust by making false and irresponsible charges against their neighbors, their teacher, public officials and a- gainst the foundations of our government—Congress, the Supreme Court, and even the presidency itself.” Miss Stamps says that the J.B. Society does not compile lists of sus- pected communists. Miss Stamps is not a very good Bircher, for in the J.B. Publication, “Web of Subversion” all Birchers are asked to send in files on Comsymps (communist sympathizers). “We wish to build up the most complete and accurate files in America on the leading Comsymps, Socialists, and Liberals.” I’m a liberal-would Miss Stamps like to start one on me? I did not say the Society was anti-negro, although I doubt if many belong, but I said that the Society wished to keep them as second class citizens. Why?-because one of the aims of the Society is “the elimina- tion of all civil rights programs.” (America, April 15, 1961) The only precedents that the Supreme Court sets aje ones based on law and the betterment of humanity. The Supreme Court has done more for negro equality than ever possible under the states or any fanatical organiza- tion. Miss Stamps assures me that the J.B. Society does not disagree with the Pope. Another aim of the Society is “to end foreign aid of all types.’’(America, April 15, 1961) yet Pope John says that “We are our brothers keepers. . .and aid must begiven without regard to political interest.” Among the Popes specific goals are to bring a better life to all the peoples of the continent, to be internationalists not isolationists, and to have world cooperation for world peace. This is obviously im- possible under the Birch philosophy. No, the J.B. SOCiety has not stated that the poor should become poorer and the rich, richer; this concept is depicted in all Birch philo- sophy concerning welfare programs. I welcome Miss Stamps views, however uninformed they might be, but I hope she will investigate thoroughly the aspects of the J.B. So- ciety. For instance point 4 of section 6 of the Blue Book states that “government is always and inevitably an enemy of individual free- dom.” This is flatly opposed to Catholic teachings. In concluding my arguments against the John Birch Society, I would like to quote from an address given by Rev. Louis J. Twomey, S.J. spoken before a recent Notre Dame convention. “Let me be specific, even if this procedure forces me to be blunt. Within the last several years it has become fashionable in some quart- ers, even in some Catholic quarters, to seek a number of very dubious objectives as part of a nation-wide anti-communist campaign. In striv- ing for these objectives, certain well-financed and articulate individuals and groups of individuals have spearheaded a concerted drive to break down the confidence of the American people in the loyalty of even our most highplaced elected officials and of the Justices of the Supreme Court, especially of the Chief Justice. In addition, they demand our withdrawal from the United Nations and from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. They call for a severe cutback, if not for a total suspension of foreign aid. On the home front, they insist that the segregation issue be handled as a state rather than as a Federal problem, despite the fact that only by increased and consistent Federal pressure will there be any solid hope of countering Southern resistence to the obvious demands of justice and fair play for the Negro. Finally, and quite revealingly, they work spiritedly for the repeal of the Income Tax Amendment. If by some unforseen tragedy, any or all of these goals could be attained, it is difficult to conceive how more devastatingly the cause of communism could be served.” J. E.

The tourney, held the weekend of December 17, was attended by sixty-six teams from more than twenty schools. Debaters Win Again At S.M. North Miege debaters again emerged victorious with a trophy from the Shawnee-Mission North Debate Tournament January 12 and 13. The four-man team of “Baines” Bol- lard, Jed Kee, Ted Dickey, and John Wheel- er went into the semi-final round with a composite record of 10 wins and 2 losses. Specifically, John and Ted boasted a nega- tive record of six wins and no losses, while Jed and Baines scored four wins and two losses on the affirmative. This team entered the semi-finals with a better record than their opponents from William Chrisman but were defeated and received third place. Also representing Miege at North were Janet Rubin, Eileen Wycherly, Rich McGill and Dan Furst on the affirmative, Janet and Eileen won one round and lost five on the affirmative, while Dan and Rich compiled four wins and two losses on the negative. Wheeler, Dickey, Bollard and Kee will debate in the eight-round district debate tournament, with Furst and McGill as al- ternates. The tournament to be held at Wyandotte January 19 a nd 20, will deter- mine the participants for the state tourna- ment. Jed and Baines, with three trophies to their credit, are expected to fare well as the team’s affirmative half. John and Ted with one trophy, will provide good negative sup- port. If the team should win either a first or second place trophy, its members will each receive a $1,000 scholarship to Kansas University. Dan Furst and Rich McGill, experienced debaters, brought Miege its third trophy of the current season by winning third place. Dan and Rich had the best record of all the teams, as they were the only ones undefeat- ed in preliminary rounds. In turn they were defeated by Shawnee-Mission North and received third place. Miege’s four teams could also boast the best combined record of all schools present. Individual records of the three other teams are as follows: Baines Bollard and Jed Kee, five wins and one loss; John Wheeler and Ted Dickey, five wins and one loss; Mike Grady and Mary Koob, four wins and one loss. Judging from the fine record shown so far this year, the district team of Bollard, Kee, Wheeler and Dickey is expected to fare well at the regional tournament, January 19 and 20. Sister Roberta Stags Score At Emporia Miege debaters participated in one of the major events of the Kansas debate season January 5 and 6. The Emporia High School annual debate tournament of Silver and Roses each year draws the best debaters from all over the state and proves an excel- lent test of skill for all those present. Though Miege did not enter the semi- finals, it nevertheless emerged with a fine team and school record. The four man team of Jed Kee, Don Bollard, John Wheeler and Ted Dickey boasted a record of eight wins and four losses, thus barely missing the chance for a trophy. At the fin£l analysis, they were ranked eighth of the more than fifty teams present. Mike Grady, Mary Koob, Rich McGill and Dan Furst split evenly with a record of six wins and six losses. These two teams will represent Miege at the Shawnee-Mission North tournament, January 12 and 13. Dan Furst Presents Speech Night January 10 and 11 witnessed the presentation of various authoritative talks by Miege’s speech students. In each of the two speech nights, students presented their quarter pro- jects, and gave short explanatory speeches. Topics ranged in depth and broadness from Alaska to Hawaii, from Chopin to communism. The talks were presented in the evening so that the general public could observe the progress of Miege’sspeecft department. The projects and displays, the work of the second quarter, provided material to supplement the talks. Presentation of the talks may also serve as a kind of training ground, in that future con- test entries in informative speech may be drawn from the best speakers. - 139 - Noel, Noel A Christmas cantata was presented by the Miege choral groups and the speech classes under the direction of Sister Marie Therese and Sister Roberta respectively. The program held December 21 fea- tured scenes and selections depicting events from the Annunciation to the Nativity. The Annunciation scene - Nancy Tremble as the Archangel Gabriel, Barbara Gorman, the Blessed Virgin. Angels: Kathy Reynolds, Mar- go Habiger, Peggy Looker, Karen Klieforth, Pat Gaughan. Nancy Tremble, angel, proclaims to a shepherd, the tidings of Christ’s birth. Judy Meyers, sophomore, was the piano accom- paniest for the selections from Noel, Noel. Christmas Carnival Cotton candy, cokes, pizza, a sidewalk cafe, a mixer, caricature drawing were some of the signs of the Christmas Carnival held December 27 and sponsored by the Student Council. After the Student Council assesses a nominal fee, the school clubs who participated will re- ceive the remainder of the proceeds they raised. Club featuring booths at the Carnival were: The Home Ec Club: Pizza pie; Industrial Arts Club: Chuck-a-luck Wheel; French Club: sidewalk cafe and refreshments; Library Club: Kitten raffle; Future Teachers: turtle race; Junior Math Club: Aquarium coin toss; Math Club: auction; Junior Science Club: Bean bag toss; Art Club: caricature drawing; Latin Club: penny toss; Lettermen’s Club: jail. The Pep Club decorated for the mixer held in the recreation room. Seniors received the funds at the door. Ted Dickey auctions Nancy McAvoy at the Math Club booth. Danny Zager registers glee. Highly seasoned pizza, sold and sponsored by the Home Ec Club, draws a hungry crowd. Buyers and sellers are Judy Brooks, Mr. Richard Beemer from the Pizza Hut on Mission Road, Cheryl Metz, Sylvia Hughes, and Mike Hickey. Carol Brandmeyer. member of Future Teachers, chews cotton candy and watches the turtle race sponsored by the Club. Richard Butler turns away and Charles Doherty appears unconcerned as members of the Industrial Arts Club spin the Chuck-a-luck wheel. Members of the junior Math Club wait for Stags to try their luck at the aquarium coin toss. Facing out are Mike Bader, Nancy Lysaught, and Jeanean Harnden. - 141 Sophomores Recount Holiday Skiing Thrills Miege has recently added two heroes to its Sports Hall of Fame: Dave Crawley and Steve Hudson. These two members of the junior class earned this honor as a result of their ski trip to Aspen, Colorado during Christmas week, from December 25 to Jan- uary 2. Actually, Dave and Steve are inex- perienced beginners, but did not feel too out of place among their companions, most of whom were inexperienced members of the Kansas City Ski Club. The first highlight of the trip was the 250 mile bus ride from Denver to Aspen during a terrible blizzard that made driving very hazardous. Finally, however the skiers ar- rive at Alpine Lodge, their home for the next several days. At Aspen Highlands Dave and Steve learned the basic fundamentals of skiing. Dave found one of the biggest problems to be turning on the skis. Steve, on the other hand, had a little more difficulty than Dave. When asked to demonstrate what he had learned, Steve started down the slope, but ended in a snow drift up to his neck where he remained for a half hour until the rest of the class rescued him. On the second day in Aspen, there was no formal lesson so the boys practiced what they had learned the day before. They be- came so discouraged, however, that the next day they requested private lessons. When their teacher arrived on the scene, he promptly introduced himself with a foreign accent as Maurice of Switzerland. After a lesson from him, Dave and Steve decided to attempt a run on huge Ajax Mountain. ' w v ■ • ■ .WF Dave Crawley and Steve Hudson prepare to leave Alpine Lodge for a day on the slopes in Aspen,.Colorado. The lift required to get the skiers atop the mountain is the largest in the world and takes forty minutes to travel to the top. After much persuasion from their com- panions they were convinced to ski to the bottom, a distance of about five miles. After one hour and forty-five minutes,they reach- ed the bottom - safely. (It might be pointed out that an expert can accomplish this same Dave barrels down Silver Dip Trail in the down-hill-running position. feat in a matter of eight minutes. We can see from this, the great speed at which the experts travel: from 60 to 70 miles per hour.) It is interesting to note that two or three people at Aspen break their legs every day. But Dave and Steve escaped unscathed and returned home “unbroken.” Mary Koob I think I know what ’tis,” Monsignor Koch casually said as he removed the ribbon from his gift.” Monsignor shows his surprise and humor of the situation after seeing the lemon drops. A group of senior boys carried the bag to Monsignor’s car after class. Seniors Present Lemon Drops” Monsignor Koch was suprised to receive 38 pounds of lemon drops from the appreciative seniors of his religion classes. Self-appointed committees en- joyed secretly soliciting for the “lemon drop fund.” ”Monsignor likes them, so we decided to get him some for Christmas,” a jubilant senior chortled.

Next week NASA plans to launch the first potato on a polar orbit around the earth--the America’s first “spudnik.” I went to the circus the other day. A man had an act where he jumped from a 250 foot tower into a glass of Pepsi Cola. He wasn’t hurt though. You see, it was a soft drink. At the Peppermint Lounge in New York, the home of the “twist”, a man had convul- sions while walking across the dance floor and won first place in the contest. I went to my doctor the other day for a physical examination. He told me that I was as sound as a dollar. Friends, I never knew I was in such had shape.

Stags Show Charity The Stags again proved their charity and altruistic spirit in helping the poor families at Christmas time. They brought and accu- mulated many baskets of food, clothing, and toys, and contributed $200 to help alleviate the wants of the poor. Extension Magazine Writing Contest Outlined Do you like to write? Are yru an undis- covered Rockwell? Or do you dabble in de- signing? Then you could win recognition and prizes ranging from a five hundred dollar scholarship to fifty dollars in cash. Here are all of the details. In the Annual Teen Headliner Contest, sponsored by Extension Magazine, Dave Fortin won a Teen Guest Editorship for Miege. To do this, he had to submit an ap- plication, criticize a magazine, and finally, write an essay on any topic. Dave’s prize- winning essay was written on dymanic read- ing. Now, he must gather information and articles from the students of Miege -- and compile and edit a magazine for publication, made up of the articles, cartoons, essays, and drawings he receives. If the magazine from Miege, edited by Dave, is selected as one of the four best en- tered into the competition, he will be given a leather-bound copy of it. If it is selected as the best of these four, Dave will also re- ceive a five hundred dollar scholarship, a week’s trip to Chicago, and several other valuable prizes. The school may receive prizes for its mag- azine, as well as the editor. They are: $100 - if the Stags submit the most material for publication. $100 - if the Stags submit more material per person than any other student body. $75 - if the Stags have more of their ma- terial published than any other stu- dent body. When asked what he thought the chances are for the Stags to carry off the prizes awarded to schools, Dave answered, “As a school, we have an opportunity to win- both in quantity and in quality.” The prizes that will be awarded to indi- viduals in the contest are: A five hundred dollar scholarship for the best cover sketch. $100 for the best cover idea. $100 for the best picture story on the con- test. $100 for the best coverage of the contest. $100 for the best publicity coverage of the contest. $50 for the best Teen Headliner Essay. Here is a chance to get recognition for work done and to help the school too. One school can win all three of those prizes — and it could be the school in first place - and it could be the school that wins the most places in the individual competition. Elaine Hunter Items were collected through the home- rooms and were then taken to the cafeteria where deputations of Student Council mem- bers, headed by Ted Dickey, divided and boxed the gifts for delivery. Quizims by Steve Murray Question: What did you think of the Win- ter Carnival? On the whole, I thought he carnival was a lot of fun and a benefit to the school. I especially enjoyed the lettermens jail, the auction, and Sister Stephen’s drawings. However, I do think there could have been more decorations in the cafeteria. Jack Hove (junior) I think the Winter Carnival was more suc- cessful than the Frosty Frolics of last year. I believe that one of the main reasons for this was that the booths were more interesting and less juvenile. The sidewalk cafe and the pizza shop added a great amount of enjoy- ment to all. Sue Wickersham (sophomore) I think the carnival was very enjoyable. I liked the different booths and the auc- tion. I also liked the drawing of Sister Step- hen and the Letter- men’s jail. The carni- val was lots of fun. John Pitnick (freshman) I enjoyed the Win- ter Carnival very much. I believe it was a big success and I think everyone had a good time. Pat Arnold (junior) - 143 - (1st Place Short story) by Dave Fortin (senior) Jack Somers burst into the living room shouting, ‘‘Liz, Liz, my prank has been accepted on the televi- sion show ‘‘It’s a Dare.” It’ll be on tonight. Doggone, too bad I’ll miss it.” “Yes, it is too bad,” replied his wife Elizabeth, smil- ing to herself at the thought of that night’s impending adventure. Jack, always distasteful in his ceaseless sar- casm and array of practical jokes, had become even more obnoxious in recent weeks. But this was a minor reason for the evening’s plans. Elizabeth had married Jack Somers for the security provided by his extensive fortune, and for that reason alone. Now that she had become involved with his younger and by far more pleasing partner, Brent Mathers, there was no more need of him; no more reason to bear his disgusting humor. Indeed, thought Liz, tonight she would laugh. At 7:15 Brent Mathers arrived to accompany Jack and Elizabeth to the train station where Jack was to depart on a brief business trip to New York. Brent greeted Jack cordially, observing that they’d “better get started.” “Brent, my idea is going to be used on that new TV show tonight,” chuckled Jack as they drove along the deserted road leading from the house. “It’s a riot, let me tell you about it.” “Please Jack, I have a headache and would rather not talk about it now,” cut in Liz who could bear no more of Jack’s verbosity. “All right dear,” replied a hurt Jack, “but you really should hear about it. I wish I could be there.” Silence again beset the car as each thought his own thoughts. Jack pondered gleefully the reaction of the contestants to his prank, and the future possibilities for more such ideas. Liz and Brent nervously but con- fidently rechecked all the steps of their plan. Brent had already checked Somer’s luggage in the New York train station. Thus when Jack Somers turn- ed up missing, no suspicion would be cast on the sub- urb of Darcy, Somers’ living—and dying—place. No suspicion would be cast on his wife or partner. Jack Somers would have been swallowed up by the city. Lost somewhere among its millions. The plan was per- fect; there could be no error. It was time. “There’s something the matter,” Brent mumbled, breaking the silence. “I think we have a flat.” He pul- led the car to the roadside and stepped out. “Oh, for Petes sake, let me take a look.” Somers emerged from the car to appraise the scene. As Liz watched, pleased, from inside, Mathers brought a wrench crashing to Somers’ skull, dropping the latter to the pavement. Blood oozed from the wound, as the lifeless form was thrown into the trunk. It was over. Liz laughed, thinking of the times she had planned this. She laughed thinking of the humiliation Jack had dealt her and the grand way she had evened herself with him. She laughed thinking that never again would he laugh at her. The two, Liz and Brent, proceeded next to the find! resting place of Jack Somers. It was Jack’s hunting re- treat, an old decrepit house of large size, declared by Jack to be haunted. Into the cellar they went, where Brent deposited Somers in the hole meant for him. Mathers covered it up and they were finished. They had only to wait awhile, get married and live forever in happiness, neither of them plagued by Jack Somers’ wit. As they were about to ascend the stairs, both no- ticed the sound of motors, then numerous voices. Next a group of men hurriedly rushed down the stairs. “What’s going on,” shouted Brent? “What is this?” Panic seized him. “Why this is “Its a Dare”, and at any minute our contestants will be here to dig up the cellar for trea- sure. It’s a great gag; Jack Somers’ idea. He’ll get a great laugh out this, don’t you think so?’ The Acid Test (2nd Place short story) by Steve Hughes (senior) I am writing this story for no other reason except that I am pressed by an intense desire to tell it to some one, anyone. I neither expect nor solicit the reader’s belief, for truly it is so ghastly a tale that even I find myself saying that surely it is but a grotesque night- mare. My fateful odyssey began when I received a tele- gram from Dr. Boris Robroskii requesting that I come immediately to his country estate to help him with an experiment of greatest importance. I had worked with Robroskii before and knew he was a skillful biochemist, and I admired him for this, but as for the man Robro- skii I had a deep contempt. But this was business and not a place for personal feelings, so I immediately set out for the doctor’s home which was about fifty miles south of London. It was late afternoon when I arrived at Robroskii’s estate and then I knew that my hatred for the doctor arose from a sort of fear of him, for I cringed just look- ing at his home. The house was in reality a crumbling old castle of medieval stock. It stood alone on a barren hilltop casting a dark and foreboding silhouette against the darkening sky. It was always present with Boris. It was a sight that made me cringe with horrible disgust, but I had come this far; so I determined to find out the reason I had been summoned. I stepped briskly to the door and rapped soundly with the heavy brass knocker. It was Boris himself who answered my knocking. He greeted me warmly and invited me into the huge living room where he tried to make me as comfortable as possible. From his friendly attitude to- ward me, I surmised that he must need my assistance badly. We talked for a while, telling each other about various things we had done since we had last worked together. Suddenly our conversation was cut short by a ter- rible scream that issued from some cavern deep with- in the castle. I was horrified, and Boris, seeing the an- guish on my countenance assured me that there was nothing to fear. He told me that it was a patient who was forced to reside with him and he asked me to come along and help him attend to the person. We proceeded to make our way into the cellar and I was becoming very frightened. We reached a small cell at the extremity of a dark, damp corridor, removed a heavy lock from the latch an entered. There on the dirt floor was a sight that made my stomach turn. It had the general form of a man, but it had extremely long arms and it’s entire body was covered with thick ugly scales. The most sickening feature of the creature was a long row of suction-cup like structures that lined the inside of each of his long arms. On the opposite side of the cell there was a larger water trough like those used for watering livestock and, with my help, Boris proceeded to place the monster into it. As soon as the creature was submerged in the liquid he ceased moaning arid became very contented. When this was done we returned upstairs. As we ascended, I frantically questioned Boris about the creature and vowed that if it were connected in any way to the rea- son for my being here I would have nothing to do with it. Boris assured me there was no connection and be- gan to explain how the beast came to be. He told me that for years he had been amazed by the peculiar power of some of the lower animals to re- generate lost parts of their bodies. He cited the exam- ple of the starfish which, when cut in two, each half will grow a new side, thus making two whole fish. After much experimentation he believed that he had isolated the hormone responsible for this action. His hypothesis seemed to work when he tried it on lower animals, and he felt that he was ready to experiment on a human. That was where the beast in the cell came in. His name was Igor Karlov. He had been an experimentor himself, working with flying machines. He was involved in a tragic accident that had mutilated his body be- yon recognition. It was then that Boris had stolen Igor’s almost lifeless body and infected it with his new serum. Igor’s recovery was fantastic and Boris was about to make known his discovery when it happened, the hormone was giving Igor all the characteristics of a starfish. This explained the monster’s great pain when he stayed out of the water tank too long because a starfish’s skin dries out and cracks very quickly when it is removed from the water. Needless to say the incident had upset me; and, as it was getting late, I asked Boris to excuse me and re- tired for the night. Sleep did not come easily, and when it did it was an unrestful sleep. Horrible nightmares besieged my brain and I kept seeing the ugly countenance of Igor. Suddenly I awoke and an intense terror siezed me. I was not in the same room I had retired in. I was now in a type of laboratory and I lay strapped to a table. I heard someone enter and my blood seemed to feeze. A figure loomed over me. It was Boris. ‘‘My God, man what sort of joke is this?” I shrieked. '‘Joke, why there’s no joke at all,” he replied, smil- ing demonically down at me. “Quite the contrary. You see I’m about to embark on one of the most serious en- deavors of my life.” “Boris, you can’t do the same thing to me you did to Igor,” I cried. “Oh no, my friend, I have greater plans for you. Tell me, have you ever thought about the capacity of your - 145 brain, without your body I mean? Without interference from your emotions and the limiting factors of your body, the depths of concentration you could reach are limitless. Your mind would work as fast as electric im- pulses. That is what I plan to do with you my friend; I’m going to borrow your brain. I have developed a machine through which you will be able to communi- cate with me when your brain is in it’s free state. Also, I have built a mechanical heart that can keep you alive indefinitely. Just think of the limitless number of ways you might be of service to your fellow men, and be- sides, I am giving you immortality.” “I would have fainted dead away if I had not been jolted back to my senses by a loud crash in the room. Boris turned and looked in amazement. There stood the monster, Igor. He was apparently in a great deal of pain for his skin was already drying out, but his eyes showed no pain, only a desire for revenge. Boris had apparently forgotten to replace the lock last night and now he sensed the fatality of his mistake. I could tell Boris was trying to coax the beast to a water trough si miliar to the one in his cell but Igor had only one thing on his mind. He grabbed the doctor and began beating him merciless with a piece of pipe he had found on a table. When Boris slumped over as if all life were gone the monster released him and began to make his way slowly to the trough; his strength was beginning to fail him. When he reached it, he threw himself into it. There was a violent hissing and bubbling in the tank and Igor let out a blood curdling scream of agony; for the tank held a strong solution of acid, not water. Very soon the room was silent. Every trace of Igor had faded out. After a great amount of struggle I managed to free myself from the table. I examined Boris and found him to be quite dead, his skull fracture. I looked in the tank and could not see even a trace of Igor. Quickly I made my way through the house to find a telephone. I notified the authorities. You may think this was the end of my misfortune but that is the irony of my story. When the police ar- rived they found Boris dead, I was taken into custody and, on the morrow I am to be hanged for beating Boris Robroskii to death ....

The men were pitched into space and scattered like confetti floating out in all directions. The ship, in a tight cluster of a million twisted pieces, went on like a meteor swarm heading for unknown galaxies. “Ivers, Ivers, where are you?” ‘Tyson, Tyson!” “Captain!” “Hollis, Hollis, this is Stone.” “Stone, this is Hollis. Where are you?” “I don’t know. How can I? Which way is where? I’m falling. Good God, I’m falling.” They fell. They fell as leaves fall from a tree in au- tumn. And now they were no longer men, but only voices. Voices echoing across the voids of nothing in varying degrees of consternation and terror. This was true. Hollis, spinning head over heels, knew this was true. They were parting to go their separate ways and nothing could bring them back. They were wearing their air tight space suits but had not had the time to lock on their force units. They were helpless. The only thing holding them together while they were being carried to their separate fates were the small radio units contained in their helmets. “Stone to Hollis. How long can we keep in contact?” “It depends how fast you’re going your way and I’m going mine.” “About an hour, I make it.” “What happened?” asked Hollis. “The rocket blew up. Rockets do blow up, you know.” “Which way are you going?” “It looks like I’ll hit the sun.” “Its back to earth for me. Back to old Mother Earth at ten thousand miles an hour. I’ll burn like a match. Its sort of hard to picture, even now.” Silence pervaded as the men were quiet, each think- ing of his own destiny and at the same time trying to shake off the sensation of falling. They were falling, slowly-drifting as if they had all the time in eternity. In reality they did, that is until the elements overtook them in some way. “I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! Oh God, it’s a long way down!” “Who’s that?” “I don’t know. Morgan, I think,” replied Stone. “Morgan, this is Hollis. Can you hear me?” “I don’t want to die, captain! I want to be some- where else!” “We could still be found,” answered Hollis. “It’s all a bad dream,” said someone. “Shut up,” said Hollis. “Come and make me,” said the voice. It was Applegate. And a great anger filled Hollis, for he realized the impossibility of his situation. For years he had wanted to do something to Applegate. Now it was too late. All that was left of Applegate now was his voice. Fall o mg Otar by Don Bollard (senior) Just then two of the men realized the horror of their situation and they began to scream. With the roar in his ears, Hollis saw one of them drift by, very near, still screaming insanely. “Stop it!” The sun or meteors or the earth will kill him, so why not now? He would go on screaming for thousands of miles as long as he was in range of their radios. Hollis stretched out and caught the man, smashing his helmet with his iron fist. The screaming stopped. “Hollis, you still there?” Hollis felt the heat rush to his face but he did not reply. “Hollis, let’s talk. We’ve got nothing better to do.” “Shut up,” said Hollis. “We’ve got to think of a way out of here.” “Dont pull rank on me, captain. We’re thousands of miles apart. You were a damn bad captain and ran an even worse shin.” Hollis clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. “I’ve got something to say to you. Make you happy to know it was me that blackballed you with the Rock- et Company five years ago. You always wanted to get to the top. You had a chance and I ruined it for you. A meteor flashed by. Hollis looked down and his right hand was gone. Blood spurted. Suddenly his air was gone. He quickly tightened the joint at his elbow. Air rushed in and filled his suit again. He tightened the clamp even more to use it as a tourniquet. Lord, it’s cold, he thought. All feeling was now gone from his arm. “Hollis, this is Applegate again. Listen, I lied to you a minute ago. This is a bad way to die. It brings out things you never want anyone to see. I never black- balled you. I guess I just wanted to hurt someone. You seemed the one to hurt. We’ve always fought. Anyway, whatever the reason, I’m sorry.” “Thanks, Applegate.” Then an inhuman gasping and hacking came over the radio. “Captain, this Tyson. Im out of...............” The gasping seemed to fill the universe and then there was only silence. “God help him,” said Turner from ten thousand miles away. Suddenly Ivers’ voice broke the silence. “I’m right in the middle of a meteor swarm. God, it’s beautiful. Hey it’s taking me with them. I’m going right along with them. I’ll be damned.’ “So long,” said Ivers, his voice very faint now, “So long.’ “Take it easy,” answered’Applegate, his voice also fading. “Good luck Ivers,” called Hollis across the breaches of space. “So long, Hollis.” That was Applegate. (con’t. page 12) Why Work? (1st Place-Essay) by Susan Roche (junior) When Herbert Spencer pronounced that the object of education is the “'formation of character,” or when Webster defined the term as ‘“cultivating mentally and morally,” it is doubtful as to whether either had in mind education measured by marks. For if learning is thus graded, morality and character are likewise. Now, we have no space on grade reports for “spiritual life” or “character development.” However, the fact remains that we are subject to compulsory schooling and in turn, are graded on its varied phases. Admittance of these facts poses the question, “Why are we in school?” In principle, student life is a way of life, a vocation in itself, in which our search for truth, is furthered by personal industry and self-discipline, especially in areas which seem needless. If we, for example, learn the foundations of the American colonies as paths to appreciation of our American heritage, rather than as paths to an “A” on the chapter test, we will come to recognize the true reason for scrutinization of man’s activities. Such a principle of learning is widely advo- cated by teachers who warn us against binding our- selves to grades and who, in the next breath, warn that we cannot enter college without the grades. College is not an incentive for studying now. Development of stu- dent interest in “knowing and learning and reading” is the only incentive. To us in America, whose whole educational system, starting even with nursery school, is based and spurred on by grades, such propounding appear nigh impossible. Here though, it is well to keep in mind the philosophy that if men were never pushed to learn, they would become perfect by their own work. Also, we cannot overlook the relevant fact of the work being done to renovate education in this country so that each student can move at his own pace, doing as much or as little as he chooses. So, with student life classified as achieveing at true sense of values, we next turn to utilizing this achieve- ment by putting it into practice. All the directions of an expensive education would have been undertaken in vain for a person who decided on medicine as a ca- reer primarily because of the salary involved. Granted, he must earn a living, but any man’s first task, as noble or as unreal as it can sound, is the betterment of the lot of his fellow man. The world today abounds in concrete examples of men and women like Tom Dooley, whose grades in school perhaps were not the best but whose education fulfilled its pupose in that it taught them why they are in the world and what they are supposed to do. Our education will work for us only insofar as we develop ourselves, through sincere efforts to learn as much as we can, not because we have to get into col- lege, and not because the Russians are doing it, but because we want to do our best. It is going to be hard and often it will mean a strange outlook on many con- cepts, but after football confetti and guidance Counsel- ing after long library hours and long campaign “parades, we will succeed!

Nowadays very few people even have mice in their homes; and I guarantee you, if they did, they would just as soon go to the grocery store and buy some rat poison before they would buy a cat. A cat is playful? Huh! I bet you a box full of pup- pies that they are not. All they do is crawl all over you, ruin your clothes, and scratch you up so bad that you look like a Christian that has just been fed to the lions. (Which as a matter of fact, you have.) And the person who says that he just likes to have a cat around the house, has his adages mixed up. No one really likes having his front room looking like a barber shop or having to buy an all black wardrobe simply because they have a black cat. To sum it all up, a cat is mischievious, lazy, compla- cent, and chuck full of pride. (To Catch a Falling Star, con’t.) “See you,” echoed Hollis. And with that, radio contact slowly faded out. And the universe began to slip between all of them. Ivers carried away to farther dimensions by the meteor swarm. Stone plummeting toward the sun. Tyson head- ing toward Pluto and beyond. Applegate, Morgan, Turner, and all the rest heading inevitably to their own deaths. At last Hollis was alone with his own thoughts. He could make his peace with God. His thought turned to his own empty life. The life he had done nothing with. But it was too late now. It was too late for any- thing. If he could have only done one worth while thing. Only one. But his last minutes were rhnning out. Tomorrow night I’ll hit the earth’s atmosphere, he thought. I’ll burn up like a meteor. “I wonder if anyone will see me”, he thought. The small boy on the country road looked up and screamed, “Look, Mom, look! A falling star!” The blazing white star flared for but a moment in the dusk of Iowa. “Make a wish,” said his Mother. “Make a wish.” - 148 - Through the trees, between the green spaces of the tall curling grass, I could see them running. They advanced quickly and quietly and they did not see me. I told Juan to go over to the other side by the quarry. As soon as he was gone, I knelt down low in the grass and saw them running. There were seven of them and the faster they ran the more flowers they crushed. The thought that they were out to kill me wasn’t so bad, but the flowers, well hell, flowers were just a form of beauty, innocent things. Now I knew these men were evil. They crushed flow- ers. Besides flowers didn’t declare wars. I couldn’t ima- gine any reason why flowers had to die because selfish men started wars. When the advance was stopped we moved back to the town with the regiment. Juan was worrying about the flowers too. “Forget it Juan. They’ll do anything to get what they want. Even crush flowers.” He was crying. It was quiet now. Juan was alseep on the ground and his breath made little eddies of dust rise and fall rhythmically in front of him. The moon was high and full and shone down on the hills. Bodies were scatter- ed along the roads all the way into the town. In the morning the Communists attacked. I was near the first ditch and I could hear them screaming. Juan was already in the trench and he was firing his gun. I fell to my stomach and there was a loud whist- ling noise above me. It stopped suddenly and there was a bright yellow flash and three curled and fell and were burning. The ground shook as if in convulsion and then there was another explosion and then there was death. Juan started screaming. “Come on, you damn fools. Come and get it in the gut.” When I reached the trench there were already sever- al of them crawling out and yelling stupid things. I started firing with the rest of them and I couldn’t see anymore. My eyes were bleeding and I could feel Juan next to me. He was still alive. Then everything turned bright and fast. There was an explosion to my right. I turned and Juan’s body was entangled in the maze of earth and tree roots. “Come on you,” someone screamed. “They’re turn- ing!” I glanced up and saw that they were running the other way toward the fields. Soldiers were falling all over the place and they were dying. I stiffened and climbed out of the trench. The Communists were firing back at us still. The guy on my left rolled over and then stood up and start- ed laughing and then he fell over once again but did not get back up. And then it came. A muffled uncertain yell of “charge” and God knows we charged. They were falling on all sides and my eyes were bleeding and I felt sick and started to vomit and all the time running. I moved faster toward the enemy. We pushed them back to the border that time and they did not attack for quite a while. Our encampment that fall was near the river. I lived in a cottage that looked across from the river and the fields to the moun- Magnificent Iff vW- THE Sun (Honorable Mention) Rodney Vickery (senior) tains. The river was always there, bare and white in the dying sun. I went to it a great deal before the snows and thought a lot about the summer. I thought about Juan, and the Communists and Brett. I wish Brett was here I would say to myself. She is always near me when I need her. Damn I wish Brett was here. Brett come. Please Brett come. That was futile too. Brett was dead like the rest of them. I don’t know why I wanted her so much that year but I did and when I couldn’t have her I cried. The following summer was hell. We were outflanked twice and we lost half the regiment. They told us re- inforcements were coming and that lifted our spirits some but when they didn’t arrive there was rumor of mutiny. I didn’t want to be a part of that. I told them so but they did not listen. It was hell that summer. It was late in July when the first big attack came. We were near the river. It was an unexpected attack, they caught us that way and we were retreating. They came at us so fast that most of the regiment was wiped out the first ten minutes. I managed to reach the fields and hide in the flowers. They didn’t look for us there, they just shot a few times and moved on. I was there all night, my head was bleeding badly and I could hear them screaming in the hills. The next morning it was quiet and still and the sun was moving up the hill flanks chasing the darkness. The grasslands were green and the flowers scented and beautiful, magnificent in the sun. I looked toward the mountains and they were beautiful too. When I found the road it was noon and the sun was very hot. The dried blood on the side of my face began to crack and my head hurt from the wound and I thought I was going to faint. I didn’t though. The hurt made me think. I tried not to but it was no use. I thought about the war and the summers in America and I thought about Brett. She was very beautiful I remembered, and she was in America and I knew Juan should have been there too. But Juan was different because he fought in the war and Brett didn’t. In a sense it was all equal because Juan had died near the flowers and Brett in America. I did not find the rest of the army until late even- ing. I asked them many questions about the battle and everything and their answers were discouraging. They said there were only three hundred left and maybe an- other hundred wandering about in the hills. I went to the Captains tent and it was hot inside the tent and it smelled like hot men. “You will have to take over, Gino,” he said. “I can’t do it. I can’t accept the responsibility anymore.” He offered me a drink. He was awfully scared. “So you are giving up, Rocca?” I said. “If you want to call it that, yes.” He paused. I look- ed at him carefully. I did not like him. “You can’t do that Rocca! You are the people’s hero.” “Hero? I doubt very much if you even know the meaning of that word. Well let me tell you something Gino, I do. And I’m not. For three years now I’ve been running around in these hills and I’ve won exactly two battles. Two lousy stink’in battles. Yeh, I’m their hero alright. I’m their hero until the mothers in all these God foisaken little towns discover the bloody bodies of their sons and husbands. And then you know what I am, Gino? Well I’ll tell you. I’m a murderer! A cheap stupid murderer who sacrifices Spanish boys for a cheap stupid cause.” He was crying. It was the third day in camp that we were informed of a Communist build up. Most of the men were pretty scared, so was I, but we were willing to stick it out any- way. From the top of the hill we had a good view of the terrain but at night it was too dark and I knew they would come at night. We grouped our forces on the North and they came from the North. There were only three hundred of us but we were tough men, men who didn’t have anything else to live for. I did not think we would have to worry about that either. On the fourth night it came. There were suddenly hundreds of them at the foot of the hill and they were screaming and yelling and I could see them between the trees with their machine guns in their arms. They were coming very fast stepping on frogs an black crick- ets and coming up the hills and we opened fire and they started falling and rolling back down the hill and all the time screaming. We held them for several hours but after that they were all over the place and we were falling fast. I was near the wall when someone rushed at me and I felt a sharp pain and it went very quick. My head started to spin and then another pain and I fell to the ground and then another pain and I felt the bayonet go all the way through my stomach and into the dirt and I felt warm and sticky from the bleeding. Then every- thing turned black and fast and everything was spin- ning like a top and.......... I knew I was going to die. I did not care much though. I had nothing to live for. I thought a lot in the hospital. I tried to analyse and segregate every- thing but I couldn’t. It had all happened too fast. My mind still wondered about the flowers and I was scared when I realized that I had crushed them too like the Communists, but I guess I had a reason. I thought a lot about Brett too. I shall never forget you Brett I would say to myself. You were very, very wonderful. The pains came at intervals but they did not bother me too much. Nothing bothered me like the thought of all of them dead. I blamed myself partly and that made me hurt more. They told me that I would go to America in the fall and they asked me many questions about the war and everything and if I was happy and I would answer yes, of course. But something deep inside still hurt. It was a very intangible thing and I did not know exactly what it was, but it was there.... and that was enough. theg0ldengate The heavy fog floats About the city, And pays no mind To what happens around it.

The programs will take place at 4 p.m. on Sunday afternoons. Christmas in New Rome (Translation of the Latin - Richard Koch) All of the North Pole is divided into three parts, one of which the elves inhabit, another of which the rein- deer inhabit, the third of which Santa Claus inhabits. Santa Claus is by far the most merry man in the whole world and he is the man chosen by the gods to deliver presents at the time of Christmas. On one Christmas, Jupiter sent Mercury with a mes- sage to Santa Claus. When he arrived at the North Pole, Mercury said, “Hi Santa! Father Jupiter sent me to you with a message. There is in New Rome a boy Albert who is very poor and lonely. He is five years old and on this Christmas he is to be made happy, so the Fates decreed. It is necessary that you carry in your chariot from Olympus to New Rome the gods who have presents at time of Christmas.” Mercury, having spoken such things, departed. Santa Claus called together the elves and harnessed the reindeer to his chariot and all departed for Olym- pus. There the gods boarded the chariot. They all went to New Rome. They found Albert in a small hut. They entered and Albert was greatly surprised. The gods gave him pre- sents. Mercury gave skill; Minerva gave good grades in school; Juno gave riches; and the other gods gave food and a festive tree. Albert was very happy and thanked the gods. Then, he and all the gods had a wonderful party. Finally the gods left and Santa Claus said, “Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!” And they all flew away in his chariot. Because Albert was now rich, some poor people who loved him very much were able to adopt him. and they all lived happily ever after. THE END - 151 - Miege Struggles For A .500 Season Catholic League Second game; first victory Bonner Springs After losing the first game, Miege chalked up their victory by de- feating Bonner Springs 59-53 on the losers home court. It was a close game all the way with the lead changing hands several times. Neither team could gain a substantial margin which is reflected in the final spread of only 9 points. Bill Leins took high point honors for the game with a total of 23. Stags No Cat test Hayden The Hayden Wildcats did not prove very cordial hosts as they coasted to a 70-52 margin over Miege. The Stags could not contain the Hayden fast break and had a bad night shooting. They were never really in the game as they dipped below an even record for the second time this season. Free throws spell difference Paseo Miege opened up early and then staved off a last-quarter rally to defeat the Paseo Pirates in their first home game of the season. Bill Leins took scoring honors with 24 points including 12 out of 13 free throws which spelled the difference. The entire team for the Pirate could only produce 11 charity tosses and lost 54-49. Thus the basket- ball team rose once again to an even season. Tournament A Succcess Over the Christmas holidays, the Miege roundball team participated in the Catholic League tournament as a guest team. Un- seeded, they surprised a good many people by playing St. John’s Seminary down to the wire in an extremely close game first round. Never down by more than five points, the Stags provided the fans with some thrills as they pulled ahead early in the third quarter after trailing throughout the first half. However four free-throws in the last minute by St. Johns star Bill Waris pro- vided the margin of victory as Miege finally succumbed 34-30. The close game was a sur- prise to the psuedo-experts since the boys from the seminary had earlier trounced the Stags by a much more convincing margin. Playing in the afternoon bracket, the consolation round, Miege racked up its first victory of the tournament against St. Pius X by a score of 59-50. The Stags used a half-court press which bothered the War- riors considerably forcing them to make a great many mechanical errors. Bill Leins was the high man with 25 points even though he sat out most of the second half. For the first time in the now old season Miege went above the .500 mark as they downed an old rival, St. Joseph of Shawnee with ease to win the consolation round of the tourney. The score of 65-47 was pro- duced mainly by a tenacious defense as once again the half-court press was extremely ef- fective. As a reward for their fine play, the team received a large trophy as champions of the consolation division. It is currently being displayed in the trophy case after being ac- cepted by Stag leaders Tom O’Connell and Bill Leins. Disappointment follows success Rosedale The Stags broke their longest win- ning streak in nearly two years of two straight games and dropped to an even .500 record while losing to Rosedale 48- 40. The recent success in the Catholic league tournament went down the drain as the Stags played their poorest game of the season. They managed to stay close throughout the game, and even took the lead with four minutes re- maining 40-39. During the remainder of the game, the Stags scored only one point, missing numerous opportunities at the charity line with the bonus in effect. Meanwhile Rosedale reeled off eight straight points to put the game out of reach. St. Agnes Leads C.Y.O. The C.Y.O. basketball league which is made up of boys of high school age in each of the five parishes, plays each Sunday eve- ning. Currently burning up the league with a 1 - o record are the St. Agnes “Tacky Sen- iors.” Their first and most spectacular vic- tory was downing the St. Agnes I team by a score of 28-21. Jed Kee and John Wheeler tied for the high man honors at 8 apiece; Jed had 8 points, John had 8 fouls. Captain Dave Fortin had the highest shooting per- centage with 3 for 3. Tom Barry was next with 1 for 58. - 152 - The Miegian No. 7 Bishop Miege High School - Mission.

Stags Prepare For Oratorical Contest Under the direction of Sister Roberta and Miss Lucas a number of Miege’s students are working on their ten-minute orations for the Archdiocesan Oratorical Contest. All of the speeches are to be based on the state- ment issued by the Catholic Bishops of America in November of 1961 entitled “Un- changing Duties in a Changing World.” Most of the students who are planning on entering the contest are speech students and have received assignments covering the Bishops’ proclamation. Kee-Bollard-Dickey-Wheeler Capture First at District Debaters of Bishop Miege, who have claimed many trophies this year, again showed strength in Debate by arguing themselves into a tie for first in their district, and an overall tie for fifth in the state of Kansas. The Miege number 1 four-man team thus year was composed of Don Bollard and Jed Kee on the affirmative, and John Wheeler and Ted Dickey on the negative. Dan Furst and Rich McGill acted as timekeepers and alternates. On January 27, the Bishop Miege Debate Team was deadlocked with Washington High School for first place at the Northeast Kansas District, Debate Tournament. This district is one of five in the state of Kansas which sends their top two teams to the state tournament. After nine rounds of debate at the dis- trict tournament, Miege, Washington, and Wyandotte high schools all had identical won-lost records of eight victories and one loss. However, both Miege and Washington were tied with best speaker point ratings of 32 and so a tie for first resulted. John Wheeler called the toss of a coin wisely and Miege received the first place trophy with the stipulation that Washington would re- ceive one later. Wyandotte was awarded the second place trophy. Jed and Don compiled the best record for Miege on the affirmative by winning four and losing none. John and Ted won four and lost one. One of the victories by John and Ted was a very important one over Washington. The loss was to Wyan- dotte. Wyandotte’s only loss was at the hands of Washington. Other schools represented at district were Lawrence, Iola, Argentine, Rosedale, Turn- er, Shawnee Mission East, and Atchison. A total of thirty-eight debaters took part in the two day tournament. Confident after their victory at District, the Miege debaters under the helm of Sister Roberta invaded Lawrence-the site of the State Tournament-on February 2. They were faced with the top teams from Pitts- burg, Washington, Derby, Fort Scott, Sa- fina, Manhattan, Topeka West, Wichita East, and Garden City. Each school repre- sented the top teams from the five Kansas Districts. The competition was the keenest of the year as team after team would try to out- wit their opponent. The tournament was eventually won by Garden City, for the sec- ond straight year, with a record of eight wins and one loss. The one loss was incur- red by the school which finished last. Der- by finished second.

Unfortunately, it has taken extensive investigation to discover our Student Council’s achievements. Student Council this year has had a greater influence and has, in most areas, achieved greater success than any other in the history of Miege. Never before has the Student Council taken into its hands, through, of course, the suggestion of the school administration, the immense responsibility of appropriating funds for school activities and projects. Never before has the Student Council made such challenging changes in the system of student representation. Never before has it assumed so many technical duties and obligations as it has this year. Gradually, but with unaltered progression, student government at our school is becoming a privilege rather than a necessary burden. Unfortunately, however, with every good point in student govern- ment there always seems to be certain undesirable elements that tend to smother the efficacy of such an organization. These elements, never- theless, with thoughtful study and decision from both Student Coun- cil members and students can be eventually eradicated. And, as one might assume, such disavantageous characteristics are threatening the efficiency of our own Student Council. Presently, they are not of a serious nature, but they do have the potential of becoming so. There- fore, it is apparent that the responsibility of obliterating these certain factors lies not only on the shoulders of all Student Council members, but on every Miege student as well. There are only three main points in our student government that demand study and clarification. The largest voiced and most sincere controversy seems to be over failure of proper representation, which is, in essence, the main responsibility of our student government. Earlier this year a report was issued from the Student Council con- cerning this evident failure. It read in part as follows: A step for bet- ter representation of all the students was taken when it was sug- gested that each homeroom representative meet with those he is re- presenting before each Student Council meeting.” But this sugges- tion, unfortunately, has not been taken or has somehow been side- tracked in the maze of more important Student Council activities. On this major issue of poor representation, however, a proposal has al- ready been brought to the attention of the Student Council which will, I am sure, be enacted. The proposal states that a committee be set up by the Student Council to study the present representative system. The basis for the final report should be derived from careful analysis of the shortcom- ings and advantages of all previous systems and the present one, to- gether with the opinions of faculty members, homeroom chairmen, and students in general. The committee will then make its recommen- dations to the Student Council and the school administration. The second area of confusion stems from the Council’s failure to inform the students of its monetary transactions. As has already been mentioned the Council’s procedure of appropriating school funds was approved by the school administration; therefore, it is valid. But no adequate explanation of these proceedings was ever given to the students. Revision of our Student Council’s Constitution would also seem to be in order enabling the Council to assume this power, for no- where in the constitutional purposes of this organization is this mone- tary procedure sanctioned. The proposal for the clarification of the Student Council’s position as comptroller of all club treasuries is as follows: 1. All proceeds, through club sponsored dances and projects, will be handed over to the Student Council or to a Student Council ap- pointee. 2. Clubs will co-sponsor activities and mixers with the Student Council. (Clubs will be expected to provide records, any necessary posters, decorate, and w hatever the Student Council wishes them to do. This help will be a sign of Good Faith to the Student Council. 3. All clubs will requisition for money through the Student Coun- cil for needed funds. The Student Council will give no consideration to funds brought in by individual clubs but only to the worth of their needs and nature of their reasons for requisitioning. A final setback to the efficiency of our student government has been undefined homeroom procedure. This last problem can easily be eras- ed, however, by a little clear thinking and consideration of what it en- tails. A homeroom bulletin should be published at the beginning of each year, clarifying the position of the faculty, students and home- room chairman. Authority in the homeroom will, of course, rest with the moderator or faculty member. Students will be allowed general discussion under the leadership and organization of the homeroom chairman. This general discussion can range anywhere from student council activities to current world events. Homeroom representatives should be obligated to appear in their individual homerooms at least twice a week and it should be demanded of them a compulsory vote on all important issues at Council meetings, in accordance with the majority wish of their homerooms. Since student government was created and designed for the amel- ioration of faculty and student relations, it might seem almost ironi- cal that the Student Council has not yet succeeded in even achieving good student representation. Discontent has been expressed by both students and faculty members over the present class system of repre- sentation. This disgruntled situation could turn serious. Our Student Council’s main objective should be to better faculty and student re- lations as is specifically sited in its constitution: “. . . to form a more perfect union between the faculty and student body, to promote the general welfare and the prestige of the school. . .” It would seem al- most as if the Student Council is insouciant to this situation. But before one emphatically condemns our student government, one must take into consideration some very important points. This year’s Student Council is going through a very determinative transition. It has been handed new- authority and responsibilities never before actualized by previous student governments. It is now simply a question of whether or not student government can accept added duties and obligations and at the same time effectively carry out its main objective, i.e., the betterment of faculty and student re- lations. The first part of this question has already been answered. Our Stu- dent Council has proven that it can accept untaxed responsibilities and carry out its duties with discretion and tact; but has it failed in the last part? Has our Student Council been apathetic toward faculty and student relations and fair student representation in order to ful- fill its other duties? If the aswer to this question is yes, then our Stu- dent Council has failed its constituents entirely and has inadvertently destroyed its primary function. But if the answer is “. . . just to a de- gree, in order to initially take on our new responsibilities,” then it has possibly succeeded farther than can be presently be fully realized. Only time will tell us this. Good student government is not just the concern of the Student Council. It can result only with the cooperation of students and fac- ulty members alike. Criticism and suggestion all help to create a sound representative Student Council. - 154 - THE MIEGIAN Published every three weeks by the students of Bishop Miege High school; Mission, Kansas.

Miege N.H.S. Helps Start Categories” On Saturday February 17, the first program in the new television series called ‘-Categories” was seen on WDAF-TV. The program is a local contest between two high schools each week from this area. The first schools represented on “Categories” were Lillis and Rosedale High Schools. The plan for the television program actu- ally had its beginning with the “Battle of Wits” contest at Miege between Bishop Miege and Ward High Schools in the spring of 1961. The contest was sponsored by the Bishop Miege Albertus Magnus Chapter of the National Honor Society. In th e following year, the moderator of the National Honor Society, Sr. Stephen, contacted WDAF-TV with a suggestion that the station sponsor a program between schools in the Kansas City area similar to the network “College Bowl Program.” It was thought that since sports occupied so much television time on Saturday after- noon, a contest involving intellectual stimu- lation should also be developed and pre- sented. A meeting was then planned with the superintendents of the schools of Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas attending. It was decided that there would be five contestants chosen from each school on the basis of scholarship and most of whom would be members of the Na- tional Honor Society. There would be two different schools represented each week. It has been planned that 36 schools will eventually be represented in the contests and the questions have been obtained from the faculty members of the participating schools. The students on the program will not be aware of who composed the ques- tions and no schools will be given their own questions. The questions will be taken from the following categories: art, current events, personalities in the news, vocabulary, dra- ma, literature, music, science, mathematics, and sports. Teams May View Themselves The program “Categories” will be nar- rated by an employee of WDAF-TV, Bob Higby. It has been taped several daysa- head of time so that on Saturday the teams on the program will be able to see them- selves on television, striving to answer the questions on the varied topics from sports to math. In order to test the camera arrangement, the technical features, and the organization of the program, WDAF-TV invited ten Na- tional Honor Society members from Miege to come to the studio and help the station make a trial run of “Categories” on Feb- ruary 7. The ten members arrived at the studio, formed two opposing panels, and the trial was taped. The panelists were then Senior Spotlights Four Miege seniors were recently nomi- nated for appointments to three of the na- tion’s Military Service Academies. All nom- inations were made by the Honorable Ro- bert F. Ellsworth, representative for the second district in Kansas. Both candidates were required to pass exacting mental and physical examinations prior to their nomi- nations. The candidates are as follows: Rich McGill was selected as one of eleven boys competing for an appointment to the United States Air Force Academy at Colo- rado Springs, Colorado. The winner of an ROTC Naval Scholarship just weeks be- fore his nomination, Rich will go to Omaha, Nebraska to take further tests in the near future. Baines” Bollard was also selected as a nominee for the Air Force Academy on the basis of his civil service examination and preliminary physical scores. Baines will ac- company Rich to the testing site at Omaha. Dan Furst was selected as one of four who will compete for an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Af- ter mental and physical tests which the candidates will take in early March at Fort Leavenworth, Congressman Ellsworth will choose the final appointee in June. Tom Barry was chosen as a nominee to the Naval Academy at Anapolis. The final decision on his nomination will also be made in June after further examinations. Another semester is well on its way. Let’s forget the first one ever happened! With the contruction of so many bomb shelters, many people are beginning to say that we here in the U.S. are living behind the concrete” curtain. able to watch themselves as they might ap- pear on television. Bishop Miege will send a group of five panelists for a real program later in the season. Richard Koch - 155 - Principal Addresses Student Body Father Sullivan called an assembly of the student body on Thursday, February 1, to review the merits and to evaluate the short- comings at Miege. After Father spoke of a number of acti- vities, which participated in had been for the betterment of Miege, he asked that those who had been active in each respec- tive one, stand and receive the applause of the student body. The students who contributed to the honor of Miege included: the semifinalists in the NMSQT, Dave Fortin and John Wheeler; the members of the National Hon- or Society; the students who attained first honors at the end of the first nine weeks and those who had second honors; the stu- dents who used the library properly (these were commended by Sister Juliana); the de- baters and particularly those who repre- sented Miege at the state tournament; those who participated in student government through the Student Council; the students who represented Miege at the TV Teen Town; the cheerleaders; those who contri- buted to the school newspaper; the foot- ball players; the yearbook staff; and the members of the basketball team. Father Sullivan reminded the students that the Student Council existed through his permission and that the faculty as a body was not governing the school, but that it was his responsibility. He read part of a letter from a lawyer who commended Stu- dent Council President Rich McGill on his handling of a “situation” at one of the Miege mixers. After thus reviewing the activities which helped the growth of Miege, Father discus- sed offenses, a cancerous growth which hurts Miege from within,” which when era- dicated, would make Miege a better school.” Due to lack of space, the assembly was held in three sessions with the juniors and seniors at the first session, the sophomores at the second, and freshmen at the third period.

Vicki Koch Bonaparte’s Grave vyn a lone barren isle where the tired spray flying Assails the stem rock and no painful inch gains, Back from the wild willowed shore there lies dying. A hero whose genius flares once as it wanes. Can adamant chains on his spirit death fetter? No! Like his own lily it turns to the sun! His thoughts spring from bondage and leave all behind them The day and the place, and the wind’s death-dirge hum. The lightnings may flash and the loud thunders rattle He heeds not, he’s free from cruel memory’s mace, The stone which the builders rejected is bearing The burden of honor-the cornerstone place! The fires are snuffed on a dark day in Moscow, The English and Prussians at Waterloo dead, And the small man whose measure Time took and found wanting Is empires taller, a crown on his head. Now stately and strong as he moves through a throng And the hosts hail him-chief of a thousand for grace, His heavy-wrought crown he finds lighter than feathers, A conqueror’s smile lights the pride on his face. Editor’s note: On this lone sterile isle where the waves vainly breaking Assail the stem rock and the wild tempests rave, The hero lies still and the rain dripping willows Like broken heart mourners weep over his grave. Paul R. Sager Paul Sager was a student at Miege for 2 years until January of 1961 when he took up resi- dence in New York. Now a student at Clarkstown High School in New York City, New York, Paul occupies prominent positions in student government and other important acti- vities. This poem was sent to one of the editors as an article correspondence. It will serve as a reminder to both Paul’s friends and to those who did not know him of his poetic talents. Quizlines by Steve Murray In your opinion how effective do you think the Student Council has been this year? In my opinion the Student Council has been very effective so far this year. It has come up with good ideas which are exe- cuted in an organized manner. Student gov- ernment is really an advantage to the school. It has my full support. Carol Mura (freshman) I think on the whole the Student Council has done a wonderful job this year. It seems that they have tried to get the entire stu- dent body’s opinion on many projects before putting them into ef- fect. Therefore, I feel that the Student Council has a better relationship with the rest of the students than in previous years. Mary Koob (junior) The Student Coun- cil has been a govern- ment of great success in most of its activi- ties. One part of student government has fallen lax, however. This is the homeroom meet- ing. Homeroom has turned into a social hour instead of a voice in the govern ment; nor is enough discipline displayed at such meetings. Gary Littel (junior) I think that the Stu- dent Council has been very effective in re- presenting its own ideas, but it has been negligent in represen- ting the majority opinion of the student body whom they are supposed to represent. The Student Coun- cil is the Voice of the Student Body and the officers and represen- tative members in it must not assume dicta- torial powers! ! Dave Kierst (senior) Civilized Methods Vs. Barbarian by Ann Linton For years students have been devising all sorts of clever ways to get out of school for a much needed vacation. In Africa for in- stance, if the students find themselves rest- less or overburdened with homework and in want of a holiday, they merely stage a small riot. Due to this annoying habit of their almost constant rioting, the African students have often been described as “re- volting” by some of their sceptical, peace- loving elders. Fortunately, we here in the United States need never resort to such crude methods in order to receive a free day. Dear old Mo- ther Nature, realizing the sad plight of the student, artistically dumps one or two feet of snow on us. The snow vacation provides us a wel- come opportunity to relax and take stock of ourselves and our surroundings. Since we are marooned at home, the first thing we may discover is that daytime television is really as bad, if not worse, as critics claim it to be. After popping corn and playing Monopoly (it’s traditional, you know) with the members of the family, we may even agree that “togetherness” is something more than a slogan for a magazine. Togetherness is popcorn strewn all over the living room floor and numberless pairs of dripping ga- loshes and mittens scattered in front of a lovely, antique brick fireplace which has billows of black smoke pouring forth from it. Snow may only allow us a short vacation from studies, but it’s certainly better than spending a permanent vacation in jail as many of the African students are doing. My answer depends on what you mean by “efficiency.” If by it you mean the hand- ling of mixers effi- ciently or the plan- ning of floats and dances in an efficient manner, the answer is “yes.” But, on the other hand, if you mean fulfillment of purpose, namely the bringing about of a closer union between student body and fac- ulty, as a checkpoint for efficiency, then the answer I would give is “no.” There has been no union even of student to Council (as we seldom if ever hear about the workings of the coun- cil), much less a union of student to faculty. John Wisner (sophomore) - 156 - CLUB NEWS by Richard Koch Math CIub--On January 3 the Mathematics Club received an instructive talk from Fa- ther William Doyle of Rockhurst College. Father Doyle, the head of the math depart- ment at Rockhurst, spoke on the types of mathematics offered in college. He explain- ed the acceleration of the mathematics edu- cational program, the fields included in mathematics and those related to the ‘ lan- guage of science,” and how mathematics is involved in economics. At the Math Club meeting of January 24, Julie Dold reported on the mathematics involved in Gulliver’s Travels. Art Club—On Sunday afternoon January 28, the Art Club visited an art exhibition at the Nelson Art Gallery entitled The Ima- gination of Primitive Man. This display, containing more than 300 primitive art ob- jects of Africa and the Americas, is the first important exhibit of its type in the Kansas City area. It will continue at the Nelson Art Gallery through February 25. At the February 7 meeting of the Art Club, Mrs. John Wisner, guest speaker, gave a demonstration on floral arrangement and the art of wrapping packages. Home Economics Club--At previous meet- ings of the Home Economics Club, the members have experimented with making useful and decorative items from useless materials. Some items which they produced were a vase made from a liquid soap bottle, a shrine made from a ham can, and a jewel box made from popcycle sticks. The members are presently working on smocked pillows, Swedish embrodiery, stuf- fed toys, and dresser dolls. In the future the club will see film strips on baking bread and pies, on making frost- ing, and on planning meals. French Club-At the Jauary 24 meeting of the French Club, Chris Bouchez was invited to speak about his homeland, France. He gave a talk on the educational system of France and answered the questions of the interested members. The entire meeting was conducted in the French language as usual. At previous meetings, the members of the French Club have discussed palaces of France and Liliane Pintar, club president, has shown the pictures which she took of France when she was in that country. Bishop Miege fought for a tie for fifth with a record of four wins and five losses. Jed and Don won two and lost two, while John and Ted won two and lost three. The experiences of a successful debate season will be long lived for this years de- baters. Recognition should be given to Sister Roberta, this year’s debate coach, and Sis- ter Stephen who taught debate the last two years, for producing a winning debate pro- gram. Miegian Literary Contest This article is written as a retraction of my story Catch a Falling Star published in the last issue of the Miegian. This was not my work in that it was patterned almost ex- clusively on a published story by another author. I turned the story in as an English assignment and not as an entry in the con- test. This alone was dishonest and I hope that you will believe that this is the first time I have ever done such a thing. I have learned a lesson in what it means to deceive and I hope that this article will prevent someone else from making the same mis- take. I express my apologies to the faculty and to the readers of the Miegian. Don Bollard Homemaker Scores High Mary Catherine Redlinger, senior, is win- ner at Miege in the 1962 Betty Crocker Search for the American Homemaker of Tomorrow. She achieved the highest score in the examination on homemaking know- ledge and attitudes taken by senior girls on December 5. She becomes eligible now along with winners in other state high schools for the title of State Homemaker of Tomorrow. The girl named State Homemaker of To- morrow is provided a $1,500 scholarship by General Mills, sponsor of the program. The state runner-up will receive a $500 scholar- ship. In addition the State Homemaker of To- morrow and her school advisor will join with other state winners in an expense-paid educational tour of New York City, Wash- ington, D.C., and Colonial Williamsburg Va. At the latter, the 1962 All-American Homemaker of Tomorrow will be named.

Kelley from the Central Missouri State College at Warrensburg, Missouri gave lectures to all of the math students on January 9. Professor Kelley was sponsored in the lectures by the Math- ematics Association of America and the National Science Foundation. During the day, the Professor tried to ad- just his talks to the students he was addres- sing, using the knowledge which they had to explore new areas with which they w-ere not yet acquainted. His day at Miege be- gan at 8:30 when he addressed the senior math students, explaining vectors, vector adition, and the scalar product. During the second, third, and fourth periods, Professor Kelley spoke to the sophomores, juniors, and again to the sophomores respectively on vectors. When the sixth hour arrived, the Professor began his talk to the fresh- men on the development of multiplication tables with letters and the process of chang- ing the position of a triangle. After school Professor Kelley gave a talk to the math faculty of Miege. Miege Combo Recently Tim Page and Bill Kernion from Miege and Larry Bowder from Shaw- nee Mission North, have formed the second Miege combo, The Intruders. Tim Page plays the drums and Bill Kernion and Lar- ry Bowder play the electric guitar. Included in their selection of songs are the Rebel Rouser and Ghost Riders in the Sky. Accompanying The Intruders on occa- sion will be Rusty Scholtes who will sing some songs as The Lion Sleeps Tonight and some of Elivs Presley’s hits. The Intruders’ first public apearance at Miege was at the mixer sponsored by the debate class on February 16. - 157 - YEARBOOK STAFF Age No Barrier Promises Best Yet Young Girl of Mature Mind is Perplexed The Bishop Miege yearbook for 1961-62 promises to be one of the best yet. The en- tire staff has put much work and many hours of their own time into the publica- tion of the book. They have met three of their deadlines on time and still have one to go. About May 25 when the yearbook comes out, the students at Miege will see that sev- eral new features have been added and that many of the old ones are better than ever. A few of the changes this year include more art work, more student life and spe- cial recognition to outstanding students. There will be a new arrangement of student photos and, of course, the cover will be a different color. Co-editors, Rod Vickery and Mary Kay Amoneno, have summed up what the st lff has tried to present in the yearbook in these words: “ We have tried to achieve fair represen- tation of all the classes, have endeavored to include every aspect of student life, and we have given special credit to those students who have made outstanding contributions to the school. All in all, we have worked to make this year’s book as interesting as pos- sible.” Dear T.L., I am twelve years old. I am different from other girls my age. I don’t like boys my own age. I go for the refined, well-cultured, gen- tle man-like man. My mother says I am growing old before my time. But recently, I found my dream man. He is a slow, suave fellow with great tastes and scads of cul- ture. He is only 65 years old. Do you think this could be love? Molly Mature Dear Molly, Last night a girl came to me with just such a problem. She was 17 or 32. 1 give you the same advice that I gave to her. Yes, this is probably love. But above all, don’t quit school to get married. Finish that grade school. You will need it because you will not be able to live on his pension and will have to go to work. T.L. Dear T.L., As a mother of a teenager, I would like to know the difference between going and going steady. Could you please clarify this point for me. Mrs. J. Bancharld Dear Mrs. Bancharld, In the capacity of counselor, I receive this question quite often. The term go- ing” originated from an old Indian expres- sion. It referred to the custom whereby each warrior chose a maiden to take to the evening campfire. Any warrior could choose any maiden. Another similar ex- pression resulted from the same custom. This expression is going steady.” You see, the chief of the tribe was known as the steady and this expression denoted that a certain maiden was going to the campfire with the chief and nobody else had better ask her. T.L. Dear T.L., My husband and I have been married for 26 years now. We have three children. I thought we had no problems at all until two weeks ago. It was then that my hus- band John started calling me a Communist. What’ll I do? Mrs. John Birch Dear Mrs. Birch, This idea of your husband’s is only a passing fancy. I know that nothing will ever come of it. T.L. S. C. Launches Courtesy Week Leslie Rohr Miege Girls Show Altruistic Spirit Almost all of Kansas City’s hospitals use Teen-Age Volunteers. Sometimes they are called Tams, sometimes Candy Stripers, but they are always willing to give up their time to help out the people who work at the hospitals. These girls accept no pay, and, in summer, usually work from four to twenty hours a week, doing what they are told to do by the personnel of the hospital. This summer a number of Miege girls de- voted a part of their time and efforts to a few of Kansas City’s hospitals. Shari Ha- man and Nancy Richardson, who received a pin for working 100 hours this summer alone, worked at Baptist Memorial deliver- ing flowers, mail, and sometimes the pa- tients themselves to their respective rooms. They worked at the Information Desk, in the general supply and business offices, helped in the mail room, the gift shop, the Pathology Department, and the laboratory. They also showed and sold pictures of the new-born babies to their mothers in the maternity ward. Another Stag who volunteered her ser- vices this summer was Carol O’Connell who worked as an unpaid Nurse’s Aide in the maternity ward at St. Mary’s Hospital. Therese Bowers devoted her time to Beth- any Hospital where she did the odd jobs her superiors gave her; and Elaine Hunter worked at Providence Hospital’s Guild Shop, waiting on tables and filling orders from behind the counter. Courtesy- polite behavior or habitual po- liteness Miege’s Student Council will again seek to promote courtesy both inside and outside of school with the annual Courtesy Cam- paign. The week of Feb. 26 to March 2, designated as Courtesy week, will end with the presentation of courtesy awards. Nominees, for the award will be selected from each English class, after each class will choose its most courteous boys and girl. Finally, the faculty will elect the boy and girl who have best exhibited courtesy as a habit. True courtesy, despite its formal definition, does not consist of the ability to do the right thing at the right time. It is rather the realization that God manifests His glory in every individual, and that every indivi- dual consequently deserves consideration an respect. Hilaire Belloc expresses this fact well in his poem Courtesy: Of Courtesy- it is much less Than courage of heart or holiness; Yet in my walks it seems to me That the Grace of God is in Courtesy. Elaine Hunter works as a Candy Striper at Providence Hospital. - 158 - Active Senior Moves to Georgia Freshmen Hold Class Election Freshmen elected their class officers and their Student Council representatives on January 26. These were chosen from among the twenty students they had selected to study the SC first hand during the first semester. The new officers are: president, Frank Wendel; vice-president, Mary Espinosa; secretary, Linda Sturdivan; treasurer, Ron Theis; and representatives, Cathy Holtz- man, Don Fortin, Bill Shaw, Terry Pyle and Dan West. Other nominees were: Mar- vin Gotner, Jim Egan, Dennis Harris. Fred Silady, Nancy Kopek, Pat J. Murphy, Bar- bara Walsh, Pat Schultz, Tom Zillner, John Harris, and Jeff Mork. Jeff moved at the semester. A group of Miege grads took part in the reception and profession ceremony at Paola on January 20. Sister Agnes Raymond (Judy Marsee ’58) and Sister M. Maureen (Joan Horan ’59) made their temporary vows. Pat Driscoll (Sr. M. Daniel), Margaret Lane (Sr. M. Joachim), Jo Ann Holtzman (Sr. M Ruth), Kathy Holland (Sr. M. Francis Ca- brini), Judy Arnold (Sr. M. Michele), Kathy McCarthy (Sr. M. Matthias), Karen Smith (Sr. M. Ellen), and Carol Vanneman (Sr. M Timothy), all grads of ’61, became novices Mary Catherine Davidson (’61) entered the Ursuline Order on January 28. ’61 grad, Paul “Nose” Gerling, has been named sports editor of the Rockhurst Col- lege Hawk. B Team Shows With an ever changing squad due to in- juries and sickness on the varsity, the Bis- hop Miege B team has notched an excellent 8 and 2 record so far this season. Their latest effort was successful with a hard- fought 45 to 41 victory over Rockhurst. An early Rockhurst lead was erased by a sec- ond quarter scaring splurge by Miege which put them into the lead until late in the four- th quarter when Rockhurst tied it up. But two quick baskets by Jim Grabenhorst put the game out of reach and provided the margin of victory. Grabenhorst finished the game with 8 points, but high point honors went to a fellow guard, Joe Kraai, who had 10. A quick summary of the earlier B team games is as follows: Miege - 37,St. John - 30. Bill Doeren was high point man with 10 in the first game of the season. Miege - 63, Bonner Springs - 32. Jim Bornheimer led the Stags in his only B team performance with 16 points. Don Ger- ling added 12. Hayden - 49, Miege - 40. The B team suf- fered its first loss at the hands of the fast- This month Miege lost a girl who has done more than her share to keep the torch of Stag spirit brightly burning. Pat Ack- man, head cheerleader of Miege’s praised cheering squad, will be headed for Atlanta, Georgia. Pat came to Miege in the middle of her freshman year. Ever since, she has taken an active part in Stag activities. As a sopho- more, she was elected head B team cheer- leader. In her junior year she was a varsity cheerleader, while her senior year saw her chosen as Varsity head cheerleader. Besides her outstanding abilities in the field of cheerleading, Pat was selected to be an at- tendant for our 1961 Homecoming. Although Pat has had three years of ex- Seven out of fourteen ’61 ers attending the College of St. Teresa were placed in the advanced composition class, the highest ranked English class for freshmen. This speaks very highly for Miege’s English de- partment. Pat Adams is working her way through school by working in St. Teresa’s Public Relations Office. Mike Dunn (’59) is starting second se- mester classes at Rockhurst College. Diana DeCelles (’61) is studying nursing at St. Mary’s Hospital. In the business world Brenda Billings (’61) is a stenographer at Waddell Reed. Marilyn Hess (’61) is now a dental assistant while Eileen Estevez is working in the of- fice at Emery Bird Thayers. breaking Hayden Wildcats. Ted Ryan’s ef- fort of 10 points was the best the Stags could offer. Miege - 35, Rosedale - 25. Bill Doeren again was high point man in this low scor- ing game. Miege - 70, Hogan - 47. Hogan couldn’t keep up with t)ie Stags’ onslaught of points as the B team displayed a well-balanced scoring attack. Dave Martin had 12, and Tom Dwyer 11 for Miege. Miege - 86, St. Joseph - 26. The Stags kept up their high-scoring offense with Bill Doeren hitting 19 and Bill Agnew and Jim Kraai each making 11 points. Miege - 64, Paseo - 46. Rick Coan took team honors with 13 points while Mike Hickey pressed hard with 12. Ward - 64, Miege - 33. The Stags weren’t ready for this one and Rick Coan’s 8 points was the best they could do while three Ward players hit in the double figures. Miege - 49, De La Salle - 36. This was the first game in which the Stags pulled out after being behind at the half. They did it with a third quarter effort which erased perience as a cheerleader, she refuses to ac- cept credit for the exceptional cheering squad Miege boasts of. “We cheer as a group, not individually,” is Pat’s reply when asked the reason for the girls’s suc- cess. Also, they have attended two cheer- ing clinics, one held at Southeast High School and the other at Lawrence. Upon her arrival in Atlanta, Pat will start attending Pius X High School where she will finish her senior year. Pius X is much like Miege in many ways. It also is four years old, and it has about the same number of students as Miegee does. Pat hopes that Pius X will also have as much spirit and enthusiasm as Miege does. Mary Sue Scardello Juniors Report on YCS Convention Ann Linton and Susan Roche attended the YCS winter business meeting held at the Notre Dame University December 25 - 30. The meeting was opened with a day of reflection for the entire assembly and then divided into discussion groups. This year’s central objective involved man as a social being and his relationship to other members of society. In the discussion groups Father Putnam of Louisiana related that in his diocese there was a definite uncharitableness between the white race and the Negroid race. He stated that children received most of their preju- dice from their parents. His particular YCS group was segregated because the parents would not allow their children to associate with Negroes. One of the main advantages of small group discussions was that each participant could discuss the particular problems of his YCS group with other members of YCS from different sections of the country and find a common solution. The main conclu- sion reached from these discussions was that the action which was needed must oc- cur, not in the world first, but rather in the individual. Kathy Johnson a five point De La Salle lead. Bill Agnew was high scorer with 17 points and Larry Rouse had 10 Larry Rouse Daniel Atencio Wins Scholarship Daniel Atencio, last year’s foreign ex- change student, will be going to school next fall in New York.

She tests doll houses to check living conditions in them. About this time of the year, the differ- ent companies, schools, clubs, and institu- tions begin awarding their scholarships. This year’s Miege group has been awarded its fair share and then some. At this time I would like to mention some of these: University of Cuba - The Fidel Castro Scholarship for future dictators goes to R. M. McGillio. U.S. Census Bureau - Annual award to prospective census takers on the basis of their questioning ability goes to Mary Jeanne Bartolac. Catholic University - Catholic U. has in- vited Baines Bollard and F.D. Fortin to their seminar for the coming summer. The Five Fine Stag Efforts Miege Romps Rams On the strength of one of their best of- fensive displays of the year, Miege defeated the Hogan Rams 82 - 75 on the Hogan court. The Stags opened up their biggest lead of the game in the second quarter when they led by as much as 17 points and even held an 11 point advantage at half-time. Hogan drew to within 5 points in the four- th quarter before Miege opened up another 11 point lead putting the game out of reach. Bernie Bialek led Miege scorers with 21 points. Two substitutes, Ed Younger and Mike Murray played important roles in the victory. Murray scored 10 points, and Younger contributed 9 points and numerous assists. Both enabled the Stags to hold off the Hogan surge in the second half. With this victory, the roundball team once again came above the .500 mark with a 5-4 re- cord. Stags Stomp Streaks A fine team effort led Miege to a 83-61 victory over the St. Joseph Blue Streaks on the losers home court. Although the score at the end of the first quarter was tied at 11 all, a full court press left no doubt as to the hustle of Don Gerling and Bernie Bia- lek as the team held St. Joseph to one field goal by seemingly taking the ball at will from the inept offense. By halftime the scoreboard said Miege 48, St. Joe 16, and there was little doubt as to the outcome. Even after playing only a small part of the second half, Don “foot” Gerling took team scoring honors with 19 points. This game put Miege on another two game win- ning streak and two games above an even record. Ward Ends Streak Ward High won a 56 - 48 victory over Miege at Shawnee-Mission North. Bill Leins paced Miege with 19 points, most of them coming in the second and third quart- ers. topic for this year’s session is Guiding Youth to their Proper Vocations. John Birch Society - The Brichers annual grant for observing Communist techniques in the Supreme Court goes to James E. Kee. Best Effort Fails A defensive lapse in the final two min- utes of the first half prevented Miege from pulling off an upset against De La Salle as the Stags were defeated 48-46 in a tense battle on the Miege court. With Miege lead- ing by 7 points with two minutes remain- ing, De La Salle scored three baskets off their fast break while the Stags could only manage 1 point and cut the Miege lead to 2 points. De La Salle took the lead in the third quarter and held the Stags off the rest of the way, going into a stall in the last minute and a half. Jim Bornheimer was high point man for Miege with a score of 14. Bill Agnew Hawklets Fly High In a fast, exciting game, the Rockhurst Hawklets defeated the Miege Stags by a score of 57 - 48. Miege’s 1-3-1 zone defense didn’t succeed in stopping the Hawklets, who took a fast break from the beginning of the game. The highest number of points scored by any one Stag was 14 points, scor- ed by Jim Bornheimer. The next was 10 points, by Bernie Bialek, with Rollheiser hitting 7 points. . .all on free throws. Ed Younger scored 6 points; Mike Murray and Bill Leins, 4 a piece; Mike Ferrarri scored 1 point.

In order to accommo- date these new students, double sessions will come into effect. This will assure room for everyone who wishes to attend Miege next year, and will leave halls and corridors less crowded for the changing of classes. Since construction on the hew wing will start this spring, these double sessions are expected to last only one school year. There- fore, Miege will not lose its North Central accreditation. Homework will most probably be increased in most courses in order to keep up Miege’s high standards of teach- ing. Also, the amount of time students spend in school will be the same. However, the exact schedule is still being adjusted and will be released in a later issue of the paper. Clubs may have to be discontinued, but the assets of these double sessions may far outweigh the inconveniences. Ward High School has been on double sessions this year, and it has worked out exceptionally well. Their student-classroom problem has been eradicated without a loss of spirit and enthusiasm. There is every reason to be- lieve that Miege will do equally as well. Both students and faculty are anticipating a successful ’62-’63 school year. Mary Sue Scardello Early June will be the time for partici- pating in experimental state and local gov- ernment for outstanding juniors from prac- tically every county in Kansas. Miege Girls’ and Boys’ Staters are: Mary Koob, Susan Roche, Rusty Scholtes, Jack Hove and al- ternates Julie Jo Ladesic and John Koet- ting. These representatives have been chos- en by the faculty on the basis of their schol- arship, leadership, service and interest in government. Boys’ State will be held June 3-9 in Wich- ita. The delegates will establish their own government according to a detailed plan. The first few days will be spent drawing up their own platforms, electing party chair- men, voting on candidates in the primary and general elections, and filling appointive jobs. The rest of the week the boys carry out the duties of their positions, working as an active government. Girls’ Staters will follow a similiar pro- gram when they meet in Lawrence June 10- 17. Before leaving the girls will attend a tea given by the Council of Kansas City. Last year’s candidates will be there to give them information concerning Girls’ State’s op- portunities. Rusty and Jack are being sponsored by Rosedale American Legion Post 346. Sponsors for Susan and Mary are the Quin- daro Auxiliary 199, and the Armstrong Fause Auxiliary 287 in Bethel, Kansas. Miege Boosters Club, Overland Park Ki- wanis Club and the Old Mission Kiwanis Club are providing finances for them. Two Senior Students Voted Most Courteous The Miege Courtesy Program Is Now in its Fourth Year Winners of the 1962 annual Courtesy Award were seniors Larry Alley and Joyce Granquist, as announced at the SPQR mix- er, March 2. As an award the two seniors received a record album and will have their names in- scribed on a plaque in the trophy case. Nominees were selected through the Eng- lish classes. Each student voted for the one boy and one girl in his English class whom he considered most courteous. The students receiving most votes in each class were voted on again by the student body. Those se- lected by this vote were submitted to the faculty for final voting. The Courtesy Campaign was begun four years ago by the Student Council, and was initiated to encourage and promote courtesy both in and out of school. Courtesy Week serves merely as a time to study and choose those who best exemplify Christian Charity throughout the year. Joyce Granquist was also a Homecoming attendant, is secretary of the senior class, Miegian ad representative, an active mem- ber of the Y C S, a member of the French Club and of the Choir. Larry Alley is president of the Library Club, News Co-editor of the Miegian, and has been an active member of Junior A- The Miegian No. 8 Bishop Miege High - Mission, Kans. March 22, 1962 I first would like to express my sincere thanks to the members of the Miegian staff who have shown such a keen interest in the activi- ties of the Student Council. I am sure that this article has aroused much interest in the minds of the student body as to the value of student government at Miege. I refer you first to the second sentence of the article. The contents suggest that the accomplishments of the Council have been minor, and insignificant. In answer, I submit to you this list: reinstating of class officers, installment of new Council members, membership in National Association of Student Council, direction of and construc- tion of the homecoming float, a student forum day, direction of stu- dent retreat, a winter carnival, a program to aid the needy, school wide, courtesy contest, active participation in book week, creation of new posts in Student Council and many other minor activities. I feel that extensive investigation” is not necessary even if one is only re- motely connected with student affairs. The second point of contention is one that concerns itself with a supposed monetary problem. I point out again this is not a problem, but a policy of the administration. It is not in the realm of the Stu- dent Council to change, discuss, or even mention this policy. Let us briefly touch upon another point. Quoting directly from the article, “A homeroom bulletin should be published at the beginning of the year clarifying the position of the faculty, students, and home- room chairman.” If you recall, the council did that very thing on November 7! I hope you will pay particular attention to the bulletins circulated which will more fully explain the Council’s position on this article. Can Dollars Win The World? Splashed across the world’s headlines was first the news of Yuri Gagarin and now of John Glenn. Before, there have been the more trifling items of Sputniks and Echoes. And still more trifling are back-page no- tices on the earth’s poor and hungry. In 1963 the U. S. will spend nearly four billion dollars on space alone - enough dollar bills to encircle the globe sixteen times. What, though, is being done to better the plight of Negro laborers in St. Edgard Parish, Louisi- ana, who support families of ten and twelve on fifteen hundred dollars per year? What is being done to alleviate basic transporta- tion problems in Verapoly, India, where Catholics walk ten miles - barefoot - to at- tend Sunday Mass? It is a fact that in the history of poverty-stricken India no dioce- san special collection has ever exceeded seventy-five or eighty cents! I wonder if it is morally legal to strive so diligently to land a man on the moon for so few noble reasons. Writing in THE CATHO- LIC WORLD Jesuit Herbert Musurillo tells us that the latest technological achieve- ments do not always develop a balanced personality. Will America’s shot to the moon reinstate her equilibrium? I think not; but my opinion is only one of many, for jokester Bill Vaughn has asked if it wouldn’t be amusing for the U. S. to land a package on the moon only to have Russians sign for it. Indeed, it would be amusing, and equally tragic for American prestige fans who har- bor the conception that bombs can defeat the Bolsheviks. Fifty-seven billion dollars’ worth of defense and foreign aid spending will not deter the onslaught of peoples firm- ly convinced that this all material world is destined to clash in crisis after crisis until the advent of the perfect society. Nothing short of an act of God can do this; but we can participate in that act by cooperation in spreading the action love of Christ. Here- in lies the world’s biggest problem: it has not grown up enough to recognize or ex- ploit the weapon of love as one more potent than that of gold and silver specie.

Gold Key winners in the Scholastic art contest: Barbara Henderson, Pat Nanneman, and Susan Cushing. Students Merit In Scholastic Art Contest At the 20th annual regional Scholastic Art show at Emery Bird Thayer, 16 art stu- dents from Bishop Miege received high rec- ognition. Pat Nanneman, Susan Cushing, and Barbara Henderson received gold keys for their art work. Barbara Henderson, Mary Robinson, Nancy Pfeiffer, Penny Parker, Kathleen McCabe, Margaret Hal- loran, Sandy DeMaria, Peggy Bruier, Kath- leen Walker, and Dennis Woolman received Merit Certificates. Kathy Mahoney, Patrice Krampff, and Jim Boydston received two Merit Certificates each. Susan Cushing and Barbara Henderson were finalists in the local exhibit and their art work will be sent to the national con- test in New York where it will be entered in competition for scholarships. The art work of these students was ex- hibited at the display at Emery Bird Thay- er. In all, 78 schools from 54 counties en- tered their art which totaled 6,000 pieces. This display was exhibited for two weeks beginning February 17. The media included such varieties as oils, drawings, three di- mensional art, and textile designs. The winners of the gold keys were pre- sented their awards at the Crown Room of Hallmark, Inc. on February 21. Richard Koch BOOK WEEK ENCOURAGES CHRISTIAN READING Books for the library, posters, a mixer, an open house- these are but a few of the acti- vities which were carried on at Miege during Catholic Book Week, February 18-24. The theme for Catholic Book Week this year was “Roots of Freedom— Faith and Knowledge.” This reminds the young Catho- lic that the basis of the great freedom we enjoy today is faith in our country and in God. If we are to have principles to have faith in, however, we must attain knowledge of what is going on around us. The best way we can do this is by reading, particularly reading those books which serve to keep us better informed on the events taking place in the world today, and which give us a basis for our belief and a good knowledge of our faith. Each student was asked during Book Week to donate at least one book from his personal library to the school library. 175 out of 785 donated by the students were se- lected for our library by Sister Juliana. On Friday, February 23, the Library Club sponsored a mixer to raise funds for the.pur- chase of more books for the library. The Student Council has been considering sev- eral plans for supplying the library with more books. On Monday, February, parents of Miege students had an opportunity to browse through the library following the PTO meet- ing. While parents browsed and talked with librarian, Sister Juliana, members of the Library Club served refreshments.

Colonel John Glenn and his fellow astro- nauts have brought honor to the United States. Although he was not the first man to orbit the earth, he was the first to do so in public view. I feel that this way shows the world what demo- cracy can do. All the free world should con- gratulate Colonel Glenn on his magnificent achievement. Larry Blumel My reaction to Colo- nel Glenn’s flight was one of pride. The pride of living in a country which has the courage to surge ahead in spite of the many difficul- ties and failures it has had to face. The cour- age and sta mina of Colonel Glenn after continuous setbacks is something that we should all take note of. Iam very proud in- deed of the way Ameri- ca has succeeded in this achievement. Jim Garner The orbital space flight of Colonel John Glenn illustrated the numerous positive ad- vances made by the United States in re- cent years. Our scien- tific progression may be measured, not only by our successes in the field of space, but also by the fact that vast televisual communica- tions carried practical- ly every stage of this history making event to us. Mimi Ronnau o, f f Colonel Glenn’s flight is a great step forward in space de- velopment and shows great scientific achieve- ment on the part of the United States. Al- though I believe that some of the money put out for the space pro- gram could have been well applied to exist- ing elements that need correction here on earth, I think the flight was necessary for the United States in order to maintain prestige in world af- fairs. Jeanne Bartolac I Varied Activities For Leadership Day A number of Stags and faculty members attended Leadership Day held at Rockhurst February 18. The workshop consisted of a general assembly, talks on many subjects, and Ben- ediction. The opening address by Reverend John J. Sheehan of Our Lady of the Lake College, San Antonio, Texas, was given to a gathering of all the schools at 9 a.m. in the school gym. The conferences were cho- sen by each of the students prior to attend- ing the workshop and they varied from “College Challenge,” “Communism,” ‘ Cheat- ing,” and “Christ the Revolutionist.” Among the thirteen different schools at- tending the Second Annual Leadership Day were: Rockhurst, Hogan, Pius X, Lillis, St. Teresa’s, Notre Dame de Sion, Loretto, Re- demptorist, Ward, and St. Joseph in Shaw- nee. Julie Dold, junior, summed up the stu- dent reaction in saying, “On the whole I felt the day proved quite profitable, fairly interesting, and fun for all.” Carol McAvoy Days of penance are come to us, that we may redeem our sins and save our souls. Outstanding Student Larry Alley Larry Alley is one of the many Miege seniors who although not often shown in the limelight has greatly contributed to Miege and its student body. Larry is an honor student with a quick smile and a kind word for all. Recently he was named Award winner in the Courtesy contest. Extracurricularly Larry is also quite busy. He is president of the Miege Library Club and has contributed to improving the school library. He was elected president of the Li- brary Student Assistants of Northeast Kansas. As president he will preside over their annual meeting held at Leavenworth High School March 31. Larry is kept busy by his duties as Miegian news editor and he is one of four Miegian reporters to KMBC radio. During the summer Larry helps youth at Camp Naish in Bonner Springs. He is an Eagle Scout and will be the youngest scout on the Camp’s senior staff. He heads the Nature Department. As for his future plans, he will probably go to Rockhurst College and eventually in- to the teaching field. From his teachers come the reply that he is always capable and willing to help. The Miegian is proud to salute Larry Alley as an outstanding stu- dent of Miege and the community. S.P.Q.R.-At the Lat- in Club meeting of February 21, a study of ancient mythology was undertaken. Ka- thy Hoey talked on the importance of an- cient mythology. John Wisner gave the his- tory and the beginnings of mythology. Buss Buchanan rounded off the trio by reporting on mythology in modern advertising such as the names Atlas and Mercury. Also at this meeting the first issue of the S.P.Q.R., the Latin Club magazine compiled by Paul Keenan, Mary Kirby, Linda Barlow, John Wisner, and Pat Foley, was distributed to the members. On March 2, the Latin Club sponsored the last dance before Lent. Art Club-The members of the Art Club have initiated a new plan of work for the rest of this year. Each club member will work in the medium which most interests him. This method was suggested by the stu- dents in order that they might become more adept in the field which interest them most. P0-VO-On Wednesday February 28, Fa- ther Culhane, the dioscesan vocational di- rector, gave a talk to the Po-Vo’s. During vocation month the Po-Vo’s will prepare posters on vocations. Library Club-On Wed- nesday, February 14, Sr. Juliana and Larry Alley, the Library Club President and presi- dent of the Student Assistant Librarians Association, met at Shawnee Mission North High School with representatives from sev- eral other library clubs in this area. At this meeting they made plans for the annual Student Assistant Librarian’s Convention to be held on Saturday March 24 at Leaven- worth Junior High School. The planning committee decided that at this annual con- vention, the delegates would visit Fort Leav- enworth, a guest speaker would review a book, a business meeting would be held, and the officers of the Student Assistant Libra- rians Association would be elected. An arti- cle on this convention will appear in the Miegian after March 24. Math Club--On February 21, the senior members of the Mathematics Club visited the Service Bureau, a division of I.B.M. These club members were conducted on a guided tour of the plant and saw how the Bishop Miege report cards are processed. CLUB NEWS by Richard Koch - 166 - JACK HOVE-MIEGE SWIMMING STAR SETS THREE STATE RECORDS Jack Hove, Miege’s Junior swimming ace, now holds three state records for free- style swimming. Jack set the record for the 50-yard event last year, his timing being 23.3 seconds a record which still stands. February 16, Jack broke his own record for the 100-yard event and set another new re- cord for the 200-yard event. The new state records are 100-yard -- 51.1. seconds, 200- yard - 1:56.6. Jack also tied the national record for the 40-yard event last summer. Jack Hove adds another medal to his al- ready unusual collection of swimming tro- phies. Staglines Edited by Elaine Hunter Congratulations to the Miege team on Categories, the TV High School Bowl pro- gram. The team, made up of Dan Furst, Dave Fortin, Jed Kee, John Wheeler, and Patrice Krampff gave a first class perfor- mance as they shot the Miege score to 30 over Shawnee Mission East’s meager score of 13. The program was filmed on Wednes- day, March 7 and shown on television on Saturday, March 10. Miege received notice that it qualified for Class “B” certification in the Johnson County Tuberculin Skin Testing program. The qualifications of our smallest high school (Edgerton) and our largest Catholic high school (Miege) represent the coopera- tion needed in both small and large schools to make a program of this type a success.” (Johnson County Health Department News- letter). These were the only two schools in Johnson County that qualified. The members of the Art classes are plan- ning for their puppet shows. They are mak- ing their own puppets and scenery and are writing their own scripts. They are also planning to give their shows for the benefit of any of the Stags who might like to at- tend. These programs will be after school, beginning around April 1. The students from St. Agnes School will be invited over to view shows during class periods, after they have been perfected. As their project for March which is Vo- cation Month, the PoVo’s are producing a play entitled, Oh, my Veil. The play will eventually be given for the Miege girls. Mike Loftus, senior, played one of the major roles in a recent Little Theater pro- duction called “Alexander the Great.” He played Cletus the leader of Alexander’s ar- mies in the play, which will be given on tel- evision at a still uncertain date in May. Tom Depping, another Stag, played a minor role. The junior group of the Science Club went to the Coca. Cola Bottling Company on a tour. They saw a movie of the history of car- bonated beverages. HARVEST MORN We see the fields bright, cleansed and gay, The sparkling dew, the fresh mown hay; We hear the chant the harv’ster sings The smell is rich like the house of kings. The crow screams out a summons to all Wise ones take cover; there comes a squall. You stand in the rain despite the warning Drinking in the beauty of the harvest morning. Ed Schumm (junior) The Miege freshmen coached by Coach Grosdidier posted an average record of seven wins and nine losses for the season. Thus year’s frosh Stags were divided into two teams: the A” team and the B” team. The A” team played 13 games and posted a 4-9 record. The four victories were against Nall- wood Hills, Ward, St. Joseph, and Lee Sum- mit. The B” team was undefeated in its ODDS'N’ENDS by Rusty Scholtes I went to the doctor the other day and he told me that I need a shot. I told him to make mine whiskey. He informed me that he meant a vitamin shot. But he was just needling me. You have to admit that John F. Kennedy made a great sacrifice too when he became president. He stands as the first chief exe- cutive who had to move into a smaller house. Rumor has it that John F. Kennedy and Richard “you’ve never had it so good” Nixon have prepared a pamphlet which tells the American people how to remove election stickers from car bumpers. On our vacation last year I learned some- thing very interesting. Indians still com- municate by smoke signals. I watched a Navajo carrying on a conversation with a forest fire for three hours. The Russians have developed a new sup- er bomb. This bomb does not destroy pro- perty or harm one living thing, but just spreads over the whole country fixing elec- tions. Historical note: Rock and Roll had its beginning many years ago with David and Goliath. After David rendered the giant un- conscious, he pounced on him and stole his purse. So you see, he rocked him and he rolled him. Would the person who lost the 2$ pounds of uncut marijuana please check with the lost and found? three outings against Lillis and twice against Lee Summit. During the victories the frosh displayed a spark-led team effort and there were few individual stars. This year’s fresh- men team was composed of John Welch, Dick Wall, Dan Watkins, Dennis Harris, Narrone Gibson, John Pitnick, Ron Theis, Bill Shaw, Robert Nemeth, Pat Mucken- thaler, and Bill Roth. Dennis Harris Frosh Record Average - 167 - Stags Finish Fine 9-11 Season Ward Runs Away Early Except for a few minutes early in the first quarter, Ward led Miege all the way as they ran away with a 54-37 victory at the Kansas City, Kansas Armory. Ward led by ten points, 25-15, at the half and led by twenty points or more during most of the second half. Miege’s only threat was Bill Leins, who scored 11 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, but the Stags couldn’t compete with the Cyclones balanced scoring and rebounding. Miege was hurt by poor ball-handling, as the alert Ward defense picked off numerous Stag passes. Miege Sets Scoring Record Mige bounced back from a loss to Ward the night before as they rolled over St. Pius X, 93-73, in the St. Agnes gym. The total of ninety-three points set a new school scoring record, erasing the old record of eighty- three, scored against Sumner in 1960. Stag scorers were led by Bernie Bialek, with 27 points and Jim Bornheimer, who scored 24 as both had their best scoring night of the year. Bialek’s 27 points is an individual high for this season. The Stags received good per- formances from their front line as Bill Leins and Mike Ferrari each scored 12 points be- fore they fouled out, in addition to Bornhei- mer’s 24 points Bialek scored many of his points at the end of the fast break but also provided some outside scoring punch along with Gary Rollheiser. Leins, Ferrari, and Bornheimer took care of the inside scoring and rebounding. This impressive victory left the Stags with a record of seven wins and eight losses. Miege Holds Back Late Attempt Miege evened their season record at eight wins and eight losses by defeating Pern Day 61-59 on the St. Agnes court. The Stags led by margins of six to ten points during most of the second half before Pern Day stormed back to within two points in the last minute. East Stops Stags In Regional Tourney Bishop Miege, coasting on a 9-10 season record went into the class AA Regional Tournament on March 6. The Stags were not up to the occasion, losing to SM East 63-39. East provided a well balanced offensive and defensive game, and gave the Stags con- siderable trouble with their big advantage in height. Miege led during the entire first quarter playing an aggressive determined game led by Bill Leins and Gary Rollheiser. Bill finished the game high point man for the Stags with 11 points. During the second and third quarters, however, it was all East as the Stags committed a multitude of court errors an the few shots that got off just wouldn’t drop. The biggest difficulty for the Stags was East’s determined press which Stomps St. Joe Again Miege won its third game from St. Joseph as they defeated the Blue Streaks 79-57 in the St. Agnes gym. Unable to open up a big lead in the first half, the Stags broke loose in the fourth quarter and in the later stages of the game led by more than twenty points. Bill Leins with 18 points, Jim Bornheimer with 15, and Bernie Bialek and Gary Roll- heiser, both of whom scored 11 points led the Miege attack. This victory raised Miege above the .500 mark for the first since early in January as the Stags’ season mark now stands at nine wins and eight defeats. Late Effort Falls Short Argentine snapped Miege’s three game winning streak as the Stags fell to the Mus- tangs 65-54 on the Miege court. The Stags stayed close until the end of the game when an Argentine press accounted for three bas- kets in the last minute increased their lead from five points to their final eleven point margin. Bill Leins was high scorer for Miege with 18 points. Sumner Stomps Cold Stags The weather was cold outside and the Stags were cold inside as they fell at the hands of the Sumner Spartans 60-42. Rank- ed as the top team in the area nearly all season, Sumner outclassed, outmanned, and outplayed the Stags in the first quarter, building up a twelve point lead. After that it was a good game. The Stags outhustled Sumner throughout the entire game which more than made up for their lack of height. However, the ball just wouldn’t fit through the hoop at the start. Gary Rollheiser did a good job with 5 baskets and 2 free throws for 12 points. After Miege missed a free throw, the Red Raiders grabbed the rebound but missed a shot right before the buzzer. Bill Leins led Miege scorers with 15 points, followed by Garry Rollheiser who scored 14. resulted in several interceptions for the Lancers. Miege, relieved by some of their reserves, came back some in the last quarter scoring 15 points. Baskets by Murray and Bialek in the closing minutes assured the Stags scoring over thirty points. This was classed as a rebuilding year and the 9-11 record was outstanding considering the quality of the opposition. Standouts for the Stags were Bill Leins who was the most consistent all-round good player and Gary Rollheiser, who led the team at guard throughout the second half of the season. Back next year will be starters Bernie Bialek, Jim Bornheimer, and Mike Ferrari who will form the nucleus for a win- ning team. B Team Promising Overconfidence and a cold-shooting sec- ond half were the main causes of the fourth loss of the season for the B Team as they fell to Pern Day by a score of 49-54. Trail- ing by 11 points at the half, Pern Day came back to score 16 points in the third quarter and 16 in the fourth. Meanwhile, the cold Stags could manage only 13 in the fourth- eight of which were scored by Larry Rouse. Bill Agnew was high point man for Miege with 11 while Rick Coan had 9. The B Team bounced back from a loss the week earlier at the hands of Pern Day to beat St. Joseph 63-29. This was a good night for almost all the Stags, as they had four men who hit in the double figures. Rick Coan, high man with 14, was followed by Mike Hickey with 13, Bill Doeren with 12, and Bill Agnew with 10. Hickey also captured 16 rebounds to lead the Stags in that department. The Miege B-team split even in a week- end double header, losing to Ward 45 to 38 on Friday night and then bouncing back to beat Pius X, 57-44 on Saturday. Out of the three loses suffered by the B- team this season, two of them have been at the hands of the Cyclones. This game was a carbon copy of the first meeting be- tween these two teams, with a second half rally failing to overcome an extremely poor first half performance in which the Stags scored only nine points while their oppon- ents bagged 27. The second half was a dif- ferent story as Miege outscored Ward by 11 points. Joe Kraai led the Stags with 12 points, all of which were scored in the sec- ond half. On Saturday night a 23 point third quart- er overcame another slow first half by Miege and put the game out of reach. Tom Dwyer and Rick Coan each had 10 points to pace the Stags. Larry Rouse The Miegian No. 9 Stags Place First In CYO Art Contest Miege received a plaque for winning the C.Y.O. Art Contest held April 8, at St. Jo- seph’s High School. Out of twenty pieces Miege entered, ten placed: 1) Watercolor—Maureen O’Shea, first Barbara Henderson, second. 2) Pen and Ink—Barbara Henderson, first Kathy McCabe, second. 3) Design-Penny Parker, first Kathy Walker, second 4) Posters—Judy Seider, first. 5) Pastel- Barbara Henderson, second. 6) Block Prints-Jim Boydston, first. 7) Lettering-Mary Robinson, first. Maureen O’Shea’s watercolor won the prize for the best overall entry in the con- test. Shirley Johnson gathered materials for inter- ested YCS’ers. (Left, Vicki Koch) Battle of Wits Frosh and Sophs Vie The National Honor Society sponsored an intramural Battle of Wits” for the fresh- man and sophomore classes on April 17. Panelists were chosen from among the stu- dents eligible scholastically for the National Honor Society with the elimination rounds for the contest held on April 15. The twrelve high-scoring individuals in the elimination rounds went on to the final contest. This was held on April 17 during the sixth hour period before a student assembly. The six man panels were made up of three fresh- men and three sophomores each. Questions for the Battle of Wits” were prepared by the teachers. There were ten categories ranging from current events to math and science. Patrice Krampff Bishop Miege High School - Mission. Kansas Right Reverend Monsignor Victor Moser gives the keynote speech at the YCS Study Day. Racial Prejudice Subject of YCS Study Day On Sunday afternoon, April 1, Miege was host to approximately 100 area YCSers from Pius X, Immaculata, Ward, and Miege, for a Study Day on racial prejudice. The slogan CARITAS, meaning Christian charity and love, was the revolving point of Monsignor Victor Moser’s keynote address. From this first assembly students and their moderators proceeded to conferences featuring other prominent Kansas City men and women who have worked with the race problem in their respective organizations. Mrs. Dwight Davis of Fellowship House used Empathy” as a title for her conference in which she show- ed the group the efforts now being taken to win racial equality, while Mr. Lee Swin- ton. President of the K.C. Branch of the NAACP, brought his group to a greater awareness of the problem by reviewing his experiences in the seeking of true equali- ty. By comparing what principles we profess as Christians and those we practice, Mr. Russell Rine, executive director of the local NCCJ Chapter, evinced the challenge of Christian perspective. When he showed how racial prejudice harms both sides involved, Mr. Robert Farnsworth, co-chairman of the local CORE group, brought home the reali- zation that it is up to the students to help solve the problem. Emphasizing the role of the Young Christian Students in this task were Marsha Lohman, former national YCS Secretary, and Mike Clark, former Okla- homa Federation President. Literature was available, refreshments were served, and Father Forge,Miege YCS chaplain, closed the day with Benediction. YCSers believed that the day had laid the groundwork for students to step out of their teenage ghetto” and attack racial prejudice through YCS. Susan Roche ___________________________April 24, 1962 Student Council Sponsors Card Party This Friday, April 27, the Stags will have a benefit Adult Card Party. The event is sponsored by the Student Council and will be an all-school effort. Advertising headed by Terri Farrell. This committee made arrangements for the card party to be announced on the radio and tele- vision mediums on the Community Bill- Boards” in various newspapers, and through fliers and leaflets that were posted in a wide variety of local stores. Complimetaries headed by Dave Fortin. This committee was responsible for getting fliers and tickets printed. They were printed by the Prairie Press” through the courtesy of Bill Snyder, a Junior. Hostess Committee headed by Jeannine Allen. These girls will direct the guests to tables and will give out the door-prizes as they are called out. Door Committee headed by Rich McGill. Senior boys, under Rich’s direction, will col- lect the tickets as the guests arrive. Door Prize Committee headed by Mary Dwyer. Mothers of Stags, who either volun- teered their own services or were volunteer- by their progeny, collected donations of prizes from various businessmen to be given out as door prizes. Winners will be deter- mined by the stubs of the tickets the guests hold during the evening. Set-Up Committee headed by Don Bol- lard. These students will set up tables and chairs on the day of the Party, and also the cards and candy dishes. Refreshment Committee headed by Diane Fogarty and Joyce Granquist. The girls will find out how to get the best refreshments by donation or expenditure. Traffic Committee headed by Gary Roll- heiser. The boys—preferably Juniors and Seniors-- will make sure that the guests get their cars parked quickly and easily. Babysitting Committee headed by Ted Dickey. Students will go to the homes of guests who have children who are too young to be left alone at home, so that the guests who might otherwise be unable to come, will be able to do so. This will be a free ser- vice. Everyone who particpated in the party or its preparations volunteered, but every Stag is expected to sell at least four tick- ets. The party will last from 8 P.M. to 11:30 P.M.

Miege, with the acquisition of nine new teachers, kept its high standards of educational excellence. This year’s faculty was well-liked by the students and creat- ed a wholesome relationship with them. Father Sulli- van’s second year as principal ran smoothly with few disturbances. Discipline and standards were tightened, and the school benefited by this action. The Student Council, under the leadership of Presi- dent Rich McGill and Moderator, Sister Roberta was more controversial this year than ever before. This year it was given increased power by the Administra- tion. Some of its more notable accomplishments were Student Forum Day, the student retreat, and the adult card party. Many people believed that the Student Council sometimes used its power unwisely and with- out the consent of the governed. Views were expressed on both sides by faculty and students alike. In the final analysis, the Student Council is to be commended for its capable and efficient direction of student activities. Stag debaters have made Miege a name to be known and respected in forensics throughout the state. The senior ‘Big Six” compiled a season total of five tro- phies, including first place in the district. Later a team from Miege tied for fifth in the state. Miegians have also distinguished themselves in many speech events. Speech students have captured numerous awards in such diverse fields as extempore speech, oratory and dramatic interpretation. Five members of Miege’s National Honor Society proved the effectiveness of Catholic education by emerging victorious in a battle of brains over local tel- evision. These five truly deserve credit for greatly in- creasing the prestige of their school. The Miegian extends special recognition to the fol- lowing students: Dave Fortin and John Wheeler, finalists in the Na- tional Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Mary Koob and Susan Roche, elected to Girls’ State; Rusty Scholtes and Jack Hove, for Boys’ State. Senior Class valedictorian Dave Fortin and Saluta- torian Richard Koch. Joyce Granquist and Larry Alley, seniors winners of the Courtesy Award. During the school year two separate days gave Miege students a chance to plan for the future. The school sponsored a Career Night, which was designed to help students choose their occupations in life. The senior class sponsored a College Day, during which col- lege representatives spoke to students about their re- spective colleges. Miege also proved faithful to established athletic tradition this year. A powerful football team and a spirited basketball team represented Miege. Both final records and overall sportsmanship enhanced Miege’s athletic prominence. __________________________________________________U2L Since this will be the last Miegian of the year, we would like to thank our staff for its work and effort. There is not room here to list all who have contributed some measure of effort to the Miegian, but a few have expended great amounts of time and energy toward their school publication. Richard Koch, Larry Alley and Elaine Hunter deserve recognition for their num- erous ideas and articles. Bill Humphrey efficiently pro- vided each issue with many pictures. Our staff of re- porters has done a monumental job, even without the skills acquired in a journalism class. We have tried to make this year’s Miegian stimula- ting and enjoyable. All may not agree with the opin- ions expressed in our editorials and articles. We be- lieve that this year’s paper has been interesting and challenging- one which we hope has been a credit to the school. D c Furst m James E. Kee MIEGIAN DEDICATION We, the staff of the Miegian, would like to dedicate this final is- sure of our paper to our moderator, Sr. Immaculata. During the past year she has spent many hours working with the staff to make the paper what it is. Sr. Immaculata has a great interest in journalism which she has shown in her work on the Miegian. She has studied journalism at Marquette University and will probably continue her studies this summer. We are very grateful to Sister for the wonderful work that she has contributed in compiling the Mieg- ian. Also sincere congratulations and thanks should go to Miss Hellinger for the help and guidance in the making of the yearbook, which will come out in May.

Miege Participates In Library Meet by Anne Dansdill Student librarians from twenty-one Kan- san schools, as well as seven Kansas Mis- souri schools of the Northeast District of Student Library Assistants met at Leaven- worth Junior High School on March 31. Seven Miege Library Club members attend- ed. Larry Alley, Miege, presided over the bus- iness meeting. Other officers were: vice- president, Donna Owens, Shawnee Mission North; secretary, Nancy Miller, Topeka High; junior high representatives, Iris Car- wein, Boswell junior high, and Barbara Wells, Broadmore junior high. Election of the new officers was the first item on the agenda. The ’63 officers are; president, Dave Briery, Topeka high; vice-president, Linda Lovett, Topeka high; secretary, Pat Boy- sen, Miege; junior high representatives, El- vira Henderson, Leavenworth Junior high, and John Heritage, Olathe Junior High. The business meeting also included reports on projects undertaken by various schools for National Library Week. Miss Marilyn Miller, who is active in li- brary work, reviewed the book Many a Voy- age, the story of Kansas’ struggle for state- hood during the civil war. Following a social hour, the student assis- tants visited Fort Leavenworth, where they were shown slides of the base. They also toured the museum there. Stag Reps at Youth Assembly Terry Farrell, Shirley Dreiling, Mary Kay Hippman, Kathy Johnson, Vicki Koch, Sus- an Roche, Ann Chalk, and Julie Jo Ladesic represented Miege at a Human Relations Youth Assembly held at Kansas City Uni- versity on Saturday, March 24. It was spon- sored by the N.C.C.J. (National Conference of Christians and Jews) for high school stu- dents from parochial, private, and public schools in the Kansas City area. The guest speaker, Mr. Gregory E. Shin- ner, is very interested in the development of intergroup youth programs. He stated that there is a need to alert young people to the problems of civil rights. His speech revolved around the words now” and all.” All over the world people are not satisfied. They want their basic human rights. Mi- norities who are discriminated against want to be recognized as men now; they are demanding, not asking. The students broke up into discussion groups, and then a period of questions di- rected at the speaker followed. Julie Jo Ladesic At the faculty - varsity game: Pete Chisam as Benny, Penny Parker, as Nannette, and Carol Pitnick as Kelly, Mrs. Rogers’ chil- dren. Varsity Staggers- Faculty Triumphs According to convention, an elderly per- son (anyone over twenty-five) is considered to be in fairly sad shape physically when it comes to participating in athletics. But our honored faculty, despite the handicap of their age, defied convention by demonstrat- ing their remarkable athletic prowess at the Senior- Faculty game. Unlike many people their age, our faculty were definitely not to be counted among those who inactively par- ticipate in the Physical Fatness Program which is enthusiastically directed by Pierre Sallinger. The noble faculty, although they realized that point shaving is said to be naughty, courageously shaved just a few points in order to spare the sensitive seniors from complete embarrassment at their humilia- ting loss. The teachers, obviously, would have racked up an incredible score if they would have allowed themselves to play bas- ketball as they did in the good ole days be- fore the sissy erg of tennis shoes and rubber basketballs. On the other hand, the seniors must be heartily commended for their fine sports- manlike attitude in accepting their crush- ing defeat. Many senior basketball players reported receiving strange anonymous phone calls in the dead of night threatening them with F’s on their report cards if they won the game. These calls were from some joker, no doubt, because these same intelligent basketball players all received A’s on then- report cards. Let’s hope that this athletic victory will not turn the muscular heads of our faculty and have them seek their chosen career in sports instead of teaching. The students here rather enjoy being taught by athletic teachers. Ann Linton - 171 - Senior Spotlight Bill Humphrey is one of Miege’s seniors deserving of recognition. For the past two years, Bill has been the photographer for both the Miegian newspaper and yearbook. He has spent many long hours after school and on Saturdays developing pictures in order to meet paper and yearbook deadlines. Bill played a large part in forming the Photography Club and was president of it last year. He is also an honor student and a member of the Science Club. In addition, Bill has shown great interest towards the or- ganization of a boys’ vocational club. Bill plans to be- gin his vocation as a Franciscan by entering Duns Scotus College, Detroit, Michigan in the fall. CLUB NEWS by Richard Koch Math Club-On Wednesday, March 28, the Junior division of the Math Club entertained the senior division with a panel discussion on some aspects of mathematics. Michael Bader was the M.C. of the panel, in- troducing each speaker. The first of the speakers was Bill Beyer who spoke on Johannes Kepler. The second panelist, Pat Normile, discussed the qualities of the mathematician. Helen Hennier presented a prob- lem of dividing 8 gallons into two equal parts using an 8 gallon, 5 gal- lon, and 3 gallon can. The fourth speaker, Jim Jones, pointed out the relationship of the parabola to the quadratic formula. Nancy Tremble ended the panel with a puzzle. Library Club-The Library Club went on a field trip to the Federal Reserve Bank library on March 28. The library, situated on the ninth floor of the Federal Reserve bank in downtown Kansas City, is a spe- cial library containing volumes on economics and finance. Mr Phillips conducted the members on their tour, explaining that research may be done at the library but the books may not be circulated. The library contains catalogues of every college in the Federal Reserve System and the publications which are printed by the different banks. It also con- tains the publications issued by the government concerning economy and finance. The Library Club will take another field trip, this time to the Linda Hall Library of the Kansas City University, later this year. S.P.Q.R.--On March 21, the Latin Club listened to a record about the Latin language called The Latin Language. It contained some works selected from such famous writers as Horace and Ovid, and a Latin drinking song. On April 11, Sister Roberta showed her slides of Rome to the Latin Club. These pictures were taken on her trip to Europe. A meeting of the S.P.Q.R. newspaper staff was held at which the members prepared the final edition of the S.P.Q.R. Latin publication. French Club-In the recent meetings of the French Club, the members have been engaged in such activities as giving impromptu speeches in French corrected by Chris Bouchez, playing French word games, learning a French song called April Showers, and viewing the slides shown by Sister Roberta of her travels in France and Africa. The French Club has helped prepare the Annual French Club Ban- quet at Shawnee Mission North High School. The entire French de- partment has been invited to this event which will take place on May 8. Art Club-The Art Club will purchase a number of prints and valuable art books for the art department this year. The Art Club has welcomed the new sophomore student Fran Logue into its membership.

J-O v ot Zee Clothing Project Includes Family One of the projects completed by the Clothing II students every year is making an article out of plaid material. But this year instead of making something for themselves, the girls decided to make a shirt for the man of the house- either their fathers or brothers. This project proved to be a big success and everyone was pleased with the results, especially the dads and brothers. Judy Meyers became so enthusiastic that she made matching shirts for both her brother and dad. Her little brother, Lee, wrote a letter of thanks to Sister Marianne and sent a picture along. Peggy Halloran Po Vo’s Present Play The Po Vo Club produced a play on April 18 as their vocation pro- ject. All the girls from Miege and those attending St. Agnes seventh and eighth grades were invited. Oh My Veil, a three act play, is the story of a young girl who joined the convent. At the same time her sister got married and her mother underwent an operation. The cast of characters included: Sister Mary Rosalia, Nancy Trem- ble; Mrs. Mark, Julie Hold; the older sister, Jeannine Allen; her fiance, Dave Fortin; the pesky sophomore brother, Eddie Chalk; Father Den- nis, John Wisner. Nuns, novices, and postulants were played by Mary Ann Manuel, Eileen Wycherly, Kathy Daly, Kathy Johnson, and Helen Hennier. Kathy and Pat McCabe, Mary Nash, and Judy Meyers were featured as solosits. Mary Jo Walker and Kathy Walker were stage managers, and all the other Po Vo girls helped in producing the program. Vicki Koch Inderwiesen Honored Senior Frank Inderwiesen, a member of the Civil Air Patrol, won a one week tour of the Parrin Air Force Base in Texas. He will spend a week in actual jet training. After having received his Certificate of Proficiency, Frank was chosen as the most dis- tinguished cadet in his squadron. As a result of his interviews with the commanding officers at the McDonald Air Force Base in Wichita, he was selected as the winner. Principal Makes Statements On Split Session Classes The Reverend Father Sullivan, principal, has an- swered a number of questions that students have been asking about next year’s split session classes. 1. Question: What is the definite time schedule for next year? Answer: All upperclassmen will report to school at 7:30 a.m. and be dismissed at approx- imately 1:30 p.m. The freshmen will re- port at 10:30 a.m. and be dismissed at approximately 4:30 p.m. 2. Question: What effect will this separate schedule have on school unity and school spirit? Answer: No difficulty is anticipated. The entire student body will be together from 10:30 to 1:30. Announcements of school activi- ties will be made during these hours so that the whole student body will be in- formed about all school projects, etc. In other words, there will be 3 hours of “to- getherness” each school day. 3. Question: If all the students can be housed to- gether in the school from 10:30 to 1:30, why do we need two sessions? Answer: The only reason why there is room for the freshmen at 10:30 is because the lunch periods begin at 10:30 which makes it possible for the freshmen to occupy the rooms vacated by those who are at lunch during 4th and 5th hours. The freshmen will eat their lunch during 6th hour. 4. Question: Will we still be able to have clubs next year? Answer: Yes, one floor of the school will be kept empty after 6th hour to allow for club meetings and other scheduled activities. 5. Question: Will upperclassmen be permitted to take seven subjects if they are willing to stay after 1:30? Answer: No. Six subjects is the limit. 6. Question: Will the sports program be affected? The varsity program will not be affected by the change, but the freshman pro- gram may have some restrictions. Choir Attends Music Fest The Miege Choir, under the direction of Sister Marie Therese, took part in the annual Archdiocesan Music Festival in Atchison April 12. The day’s activities began with a Solemn High Mass in St. Benedict’s Abbey Church and closed with a pro- gram presented by the combined choirs and bands of the archdiocese. Numbers presented by the Miege choir included, “Were You There?”, “This Is My Country”, and a medley from “The Sound of Music” by Rodgers-Ham- merstein. Book Review Animal Farm by George Orwell Orwell’s book, Animal Farm, is a social satire di- rected against the threat of communism. Although it uses entirely ficticious settings and characters, it is exact in every detail in its description of communism. The clarity with which Orwell treats the subject is truly amazing. He has made it easy to understand the tyranny which communism brings. The different party practices are brought out into the open. Such is the case when Napoleon purged Snowball (both pigs, the ruling class) and took over control. It also depicts other purges guilty of devia- tion. They were forced to confess and were subsequent- ly torn to pieces by the huge trained dogs Napoleon kept for bodyguards. Thought-control is one of the major points brought out by the book. Throughout the book the head pigs twist the minds of the less intelligent animals to make them accept the ideas and the various programs put forth. All failures are blamed on the deposed and exiled Snowball. The maxim, “Napoleon says so, therefore, it is right,” becomes a motivating force. The pigs (the party leaders) can do no wrong. The animals are always fed the allusion that they are living better than ever, and production figures sup- posedly prove this. They are told by the pigs that ani- mals on other farms are starving under their cruel hu- man masters. Increasingly hard work prevailed on Animal Farm. To work hard for the “farm” was considered an honor and privilege. The solution to every problem for the horse, Boxer, was, 'T will work harder.” It is a communist principle that all must work or they will not receive food. They must be useful to the state. Boxer, w hen he over worked himself and ruined his lungs, was shipped to the horse slaughterers. Another principle, that of thorough indoctrination, was exemplified in the book. The pigs held classes for those under them to teach them the doctrines put down by their founder, Major, the pig who preached the re- volution. These doctrines, however, twisted to fit their own way of thought or “interpretation.” Animal farm not only dealt with communism and its organization, but, also, the reaction of those opposed to it. The farmers all predicted that the animals would starve and die out or that ail would fail. In their blind- ness they failed to see that it was actually working and would have to be dealt with. The whole irony of the story comes when in the end the pigs take the same features and characteristics of the humans. They were in every way the masters of the rest of the animals. John LeGrand QuizUnes by Steve Murray How would you evaluate your senior year at Miege? My senior year has been filled with num- erous experiences. Al- though homework was frequent, there always seemed time to enjoy the thrills of the bas- ketball and football games along with par- ticipating in other so- cial activities. I am sure my senior year will be remembered as holding many wonder- ful and beneficial mem- ories. Mary Nash My senior year at Miege has been both profitable and fun- filled. With thanks to my teachers, classes, and friends, I feel it has well prepared me for college. Carol Lanter I enjoyed this last year more than any of the previous years. It seems that there was little time to spend at school, let alone to en- joy extra-curricular activities. We all like being the senior class. John Scofield I think the last year of school was by far the most interesting in its courses and activi- ties. Even the kids you go to school with seem more interesting. This last year has given me a deep appre- ciation of the reason why I have been com- ing here 6 hours a day for the last 4 years. Most of all I like to look back on t he years gone by and realize what I have accom- plished. John Vanneman Soph, Miege Rep at CYO Oratoricals Barbara Lyons represented Miege at the CYO oratorical contest on April 1 with an oration entitled Communism Vs. Christian- ity. The contest was held at Ward high and included participants from ten high schools in the Archdiocese. Each speaker presented an eight to ten minute original oration based on some phase of the Bishops’ statement of 1961, entitled Unchanging Duty in a Changing World. They were judged on stage presence, com- position, and power to move the audience. The first place w inner, Mary Heinz from Hayden, will represent the Archdiocese in the National Oratorical Contest to be held in Washington D.C. on April 23. Patrice Krampff JA Members Study Business Methods by John Chase For two hours a week, students from Miege and other schools in the area between the ages of 15 and 20 receive fundamental business training in Junior Achievement. The program is set up as a spare-time busi- ness training organization by business, edu- cational, and civic leaders of the community. Its purpose is to teach young people, through practical experience, the principles of modern business. This training is accom- plished by allowing a group of students to form a company. Each company is run en- tirely by the young people themselves with the advice and counsel of three adult ad- visors provided by the local business organi- zation which sponsors the company. Members of Junior Achievement begin the year by selling shares of stock in their company in order to obtain the capital needed to begin business. They choose a product or service and elect a president, vice-president for sales, vice-president for production, secretary, and treasurer. When they have enough capital they purchase the raw materials they need and begin produc- tion and sales. Because Junior Achievement emphasizes learning-by-doing, the mem- bers have complete control over the paying of bills and wages, the bookkeeping, pro- ducing and selling. The members are paid an hourly wage which they themselves de- termine All overhead and expenses such as rent, fixtures, tools, and payroll are paid out of what money is made from the sales of the company product. At the middle of the J. A. year, toward the end of February, the companies may elect new officers and change their product if they wish. The year ends, for J. A., in May when the companies liquidate. At this time they pay taxes, any bills they owe, and the stockholders. If any money is left, they are allowed to distribute among themselves. In addition to learning the basic prin- ciples upon which business operates, mem- bers have an opportunity to meet many of the business, educational, and civic leaders of the area. They have opportunities for scholarships, and a chance to make con- tacts w hich might help in securing em- ployment after they leave school. Junior Achievement is world wide, oper- ating in some 250 cities in North America, Europe, and Australia. It is an organization growing in size and reputation every year. Those who belong are secure in the know- ledge that their time in J. A. has been pro- ductive and well spent. Stags Strike High on TV Categories Saturday, March 10, Miege met Shawnee Mission East in a “battle of wits” on the new high school quiz show, “Categories”, seen on WDAF-TV. Representing Miege were Jed Kee, Dave Fortin, Dan Furst, Pa- trice Krampff, and John Wheeler. All who appeared were chosen on the basis of scho- larship. The show is divided into three parts. In part one the two teams are asked questions alternately, and the first person to ring the bell must answer the question entirely on his own. The second part is a team effort and the members of the panel may consult with one another before one, acting as spokesman, gives the answer. During part three the accent is on time. Anyone from either team may answer, but must work en- tirely alone. The questions asked are prepared by school boards in the Kansas City area and cover a wide range of subjects -- music, art, current events, drama, literature, mathe- matics and science. Among the questions that the teams were called upon to answer were: “What American poet uses Chicago to express his philosophy? What are the five elements of design? What was the first American musical comedy?” Part one ended with Miege leading East 10-6. Miege continued this pace through the entire program, rolling up the impressive final score of Miege 32 -- Shawnee Mission East 13.

The answer in most cases will be' no” because while football and basketball are enthusias- tically followed at Bishop Miege, track re- ceives very little attention. In many other schools in the area, track is accepted as a sport on the same level with the two earlier ones and is followed in the same way. But one reason for the lack of interest in this sport (which dates back to the Greeks and Romans) may be a lack of understanding of just what it involves. First of all, track is a contest between two or more teams in which points are given for first, second, third, and sometimes fourth place in each event. At the end of the meet, the team with the largest total number of points is the winner. The following is a rundown of the events along with who should do well in them this year: High Hurdles.. . L.
