Mr. Rogers is the husband of Mrs. Barbara Rogers, our Spanish teacher. We extend our sincere thanks to Mr. Rogers who designed the yearbook cover as his graduation gift to the senior class. Several years ago Miege was just a vague idea on an architect s sketch pad. This idea developed in the form of a blueprint. The blue- print gradually became a reality; and after many months, the first stage came into existence. The final stage of the plan did not evolve until four years later, but during Great scholastic strides were made. The school was recognized by picture The entire evolution has been pressed by .. . r2 the state and was granted a charier The students engaged themselves many activities including clubs and organT'zatfbns. The student body increased in number. An impressive athletic record was estab- lished. , C In-addition to these achievements of the past few years, this 4P —--••—' year has exhibited a tremendous physical growth. The building has yielded to the unrelenting demands of the bulging seam si completion of the new wing of classrooms and the gymrfc ; It all began with an idea ;ed gradually into a liuished the result of and may be ex dr prddrd This was a year to remember—as they say. Mostly, it was a year of anticipation as we awaited the completion of construction on the new classroom wing and gymnasium. Faced with crowded conditions, limited facilities, a split-session, and construction obstacles from September to February, it was indeed a joy- ful day when His Excellency, Archbishop Hunkeler, formally dedicated the new facilities February 8, 1963. At long last, our school was completed. Statistics reveal the tremendous growth of Bishop Miege since the original building was dedicated in August 1958. 1958 1963 Enrollment 425 920 Faculty 14 32 Classrooms 22 40 Beyond that, and more significantly, we have witnessed a growth in reputation. Individ- ually and collectively, the students established the name of Miege in the Kansas City com- munity by the quality of their performance on television, in debate tournaments, on the athletic field. Graduates extended the reputation to college campuses and into various fields of employment. While we are proud and happy about the growth of our facilities, we are more interest- ed and dedicated to the growth and development of the students that are housed within its walls. True growth is only from within: the enlightenment of the intellect as it absorbs know- ledge, and increases its capacity for truth; the strengthening of the will as it increases its ap- petite for what is good. Thus the whole person grows interiorly and reflects this growth in his service of Him who is the Eternal Truth and the Perfect Good. This is the aim, goal, and sole purpose of Bishop Miege High School. And, although our material growth is completed, we pray God that we will never cease in our efforts to pro- mote our own growth until we come face to face with Him, who is our beginning and our end.

Sullivan, principal and Sr. Raymond, assis- tant principal. ADMINISTRATION At the head of every well run organization is a body of people known as its administration. This year, as in the past, Miege has leaders whose responsibility it is to keep the school running smoothly. The Deans, Mr. Frazier and Sr. Martina, were selected this year to iron out any problems which might arise in student life at Miege. Sr. Martina, Dean of Women, offers help to senior, Mary Lu Doll. - 14 - Mrs. Dold, Mrs. Scofield, and Mrs. Martin keep the school running at an efficient and steady pace. Our cafeteria staff; Mrs. Hugo, Mrs. Ruebelmann, Mrs. Lynch, Mrs. Owens, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Brock, Mrs. Chamblin, and Mrs. Lenihan. “But I only have a headache!” Tim Page pays a visit to Mrs. Bollig, school nurse. - 15 - Mr.Clark, custodian, takes time out of his busy schedule to replace a burned out light bulb. Monsignor Koch gives wise words of instruction to his senior Religion class. Religion Father Krische appears to be delighted with his fresh- man Religion class. Father Lickteig engrossed in a discussion with one of his sophomore Religion students. LIBRARY “Well, it’s not in here. Let’s look in the yel- low pages.” Miege’s growing library offers its students background in any field, whether one is conducting research for a term paper or trying to broaden his knowledge of a course through ex- tra reading material. The library staff is headed by Sister Juliana. “I believe this is what you’re looking for.” Mr. Dalton, assistant librarian, helps a student secure extra reading material. - 17- LANGUAGES Bill Roth outlines a short story during sophomore English. Above: This projector enables the student to find mistakes on his paper by project- ing them on a picture screen for analysis. It looks like Miss Lucas isn’t too pleased with this paper. Right: Jack Hove, Bill Snyder, and John Hale begin the rough draft on their term paper. - 18 - “How much does one of those Caesar-burgers cost?” J’ai la reponse. Latin not only affords one a study of an ancient language, but it gives the student a background in Roman history. French III class utilizes the concept of self-cor- rection by putting homework on the board to be checked. Belinda Ross and Mimi Ronnau compare sentence construction in the Spanish III class. t OCvil i - 19 - MATHEMATICS I Members of the Algebra II class show preciseness in grafting a second degree equation. The math classes this year have undergone many changes in course material. The new first year Algebra book was selected as providing more inter- est and challenge to this branch of mathematics. The new geometry book, considerably different from the old one, is in a new, interesting format which links it to the present advanced math book. Advanc- ed math itself is being presented in an accelerated form by Mr. Frazier. The second year Algebra clas- ses, last to use the old books, are eagerly studying the course, storing up fond memories of their unique position. Geometry students soon learn that solid geometry presents complicated problems. A Advanced Math, a college prep course, gives a student background in various math processes. SCIENCES “This tube has the oxygen gas in it.” Chemistry students separate hydrogen and oxygen from water. Above: Members of the Earth Science class study exhibits. Be- low: Biology students explore the fascinating world of micro- organisms. Joan Langan and Janice Armenta look on as Nancy Tremble dissects an un- born pig. - 21 - SOCIAL STUDIES Through class participation Mr. Salmans makes his Ameri can history class more appealing to the students. Mr. Moritz seems to enjoy his American government class. The music appreciation class listens with appreciation - 22 - CLASSES FOR THE FUTURE Architectural Drawing proves inter- esting for Senior Mike Kimmons. Sister Georgetta interests her class in some Psychol- ogy notes. This is the first year that the Psychology course has been offered at Miege. It is taught in al- ternate semesters with a Logic I class. Rick Walsh builds a model home in Architectural Draw- ing class. -23- 4 ART SPEECH “Oh Leslie! It does so much for you,” re- assures Barbara Tremble as she attempts to sell Leslie Spurk a wig in speech class. Under the excellent guidance of Sister Roberta and Mrs. Sullivan, the students of the speech, art, and debate classes are becom- ing more and more skillful in their respective subjects. This is proven by their top-ranking performances in intramural contests concern- ing these three subjects. With the new addi- tion and extra facilities of the school, Miege will be able to develop the students’ capabili- ties to the fullest and therefore surge forward as one of the top schools in the state. Kenneth Shannon, Kenny North, Pat Stiles, and Dave Martin leave for a debate tourna- ment. Elaine Hunter poses for art students Dave Dep- ping and Karen Odrowski. DEBATE - 24 - PHYSICAL EDUCATION Arms wobble and backs sag during a push up session. “Just two more, girls.” Chin-ups, one of the suggested exercises in the President’s physical fitness program are demonstrated by John Fleskes and Steve War- ren, freshmen. A school has the obligation to develop its students physically as well as mentally. American youth must meet the challenge of Com- munism with healthy minds and bodies.

STUDENT COUNCIL Under the able leadership of officers Mike Grady-president,Buzz Buchanan-vice-presi- dent, Mary Koob-secretary, and Tom Ger- aghty-treasurer, the Bishop Miege Student Council for the year 1962-63 has become ever so more renowned in the eyes of the people of Kansas City and its suburbs. The projects which have been initiated by our Student Council have been praised and practiced by many other schools in the area. The Student Council is composed of the officers, the moderator, Sr. Roberta, Susan Roche, social corresponding secretary, and John Koetting, parliamentarian. One section of the Council, the Advisory Board, is com- posed of members who act as advisors of the students they represent. No member on the Board may vote, but they may try to per- suade the representatives in their voting. The members include: Pep Club President, Let- terman’s Club President, Class Presidents, N.H.S. President, and Editor of the Miegian (top picture). The twenty-seven representatives play a very important part, as it is through them that all bills and acts are passed. They were elected in their homerooms with the under- standing that they would use good and fair judgment in their voting. Much of the work of the Student Coun- cil is accomplished by the work of the per- manent committees of S.C. The committees and their chairmen are: Safety Committee, Eddie Younger (second from top); Education- al Interest, Julie Dold (third from top); Ad- vertising, Pat Me Cabe (bottom); Social, Shar- on Walsh; Constitution, John Wisner; Assem- bly, Martha Zieglemeyer; Spiritual Growth, Pat Lanter, and Student Information, Mary Noonan. We hope that with such competent fore- runners,our officers for 1963-64 may carry on as well in the future as has been done in the past. - 29 - Library club officers (right to left) Larry Maher, president; Kathy Redman, vice president; Pat Boysen, secretary; and Judy Tank, treasurer. LIBRARY CLUB The Miege Library Club gives service through the li- brary to the school. Its mem- bers do this by performing those duties which the libra- rian judges the students cap- able of performing, and which are necessary to the mainten- ance of the library. La Cle du. Fran ais The French Club has been established for students who have completed at least one year of French and have main- tained a grade average direct- ed in the by-laws. Its purpose is to familiarize students with the language, customs, and history of the French people. Mrs. Pintar checks the progress of the French Club members by conversing with them in French during one of their meetings. Members of the Latin Club show by facial expressions that Sr. de Lourdes does an excellent job of reviewing a “dead” language. SPQR The Latin Club, in its second year of existence, is continuing its purpose of pro- viding advanced practice in Latin to students who either can not take advanced Latin, or who desire additional edu- cation in Latin literary forms. - 30 - MATH CLUBS Senior Math Club officers: Pat Normile, treasurer: Bill Kernion, president; Sister Do- lores, moderator; Julie Dold, secretary; and Fred Pinne, vice-president. SENIOR MATH CLUB The purpose of the math club is the promotion of scholarship and the enjoyment and understanding of math- ematics among the students. The Senior Math Club, sponsor- ed by Sister Dolores, is composed of Junior and Seniors who are more ac- celerated in the field of mathematics. The senior math club is one of the most active in the school. Quite often the members take trips to various cor- porations which are well-adapted to their concern, the first being the trip to Midwest Research Institute. Preparing for a panel on mathematics. JUNIOR MATH CLUB The Junior Math Club, sponsored by Sister Pauline, functions primarily along the same basis as does the senior club, the main difference being that it is not quite as advanced. This spring, they toured the Nike Missile Center, marking the major project of the year. The officers (at Right) are: Terry Alley, vice- president; Barbara Walsh, secretary-treasurer and Fred Silady, president. - 31 - FUTURE NURSES CLUB Charity, patience, self-sacrifice, intelligence are the at- tributes of a good nurse. The Future Nurses Club was formed with the objective of acquainting girls of high school age with the purposes of nursing. Although this is the first year of its existence at Miege, the club is fast becoming one of the major organizations of the school, (left) Mrs. Bollig, with the help of Shiela Downs, shows skill in innoculation. (above) Bill Snyder falls victim to the healing efforts of club members. FUTURE TEACHERS CLUB The Future Teachers Club at Miege was formed to give members experience in the profession of teaching. The officers, Melinda Lohr, Mimi Ron- nau, Kathy Adams, and Rita Zipf, are shown dis- cussing their field trip to St. Agnes grade school during one of their bi-weekly meetings monitored by Sister Immaculata. The introduction of ungraded teaching in the schools was one of the major topics of the year, and was greatly enjoyed by all. SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club was designed to give the members some insight into the current problems of the modem scientist, and to become more aware of the importance of science in our everyday lives. Here Susan Roche pon- ders the possible practical applications of pickled sheep’s eyes. - 32 - “What is it?” incredulously asks Gary Little, as Patrice Krampff, Nancy Richardson, and Kathy McCabe show an impressionistic paint- ing to art club members. ART CLUB The Art Club of Miege was established three years ago with the purpose of increasing the appreciation of all art and encouraging members to utilize their natural talents. The club motto is “Effort and talent combined in God.” The club insignia was designed by Pat Stiles. INDUSTRIAL ARTS CLUB The Industrial Arts Club was established with the goal of offering students an expanded knowledge of manual arts. Industrial Arts Club members Rob Grothaus, Dennis Abeel, Bill Sny- der, Bob Daniels, Wolfgang Simon, and Bill Santa Maria watch a blue- print take shape under Tom Keehn’s practiced hand. - 33 - Y.C.S. and PO-VO Above: Po-Vos work on publicity for the Vocation Day held for the first time this year.

Despite the other extracurricular activities and the constant pounding of the construction, the Miege Choir never ceased to convene on Mon- days, Wednesdays, and Fridays. During the year, the group sang at various school functions, the Plaza area at Christmas time, and attended the musical festival at St. Benedict’s in the spring. Much credit is due to Sr. Marie Therese, who devoted countless hours to the success of the choir, organizing the group itself into dif- erent voices, and determining when and where it was able to perform. - 36 - CHEERLEADERS 62-63 Janice Leslie Mary Barbara Mary Janean “Smile, you’re on Candid Camera’’ Varsity Cheerleaders in a happier moment in the new gym: Janice Armenta, Captain Leslie Spurck, Mary Donahoe, Barbara Tremble (substitute); Mary Fuchs, and Janean Harnden.

The Whole Staff I SCHOOL BEGINS Confused? Miege initiated it’s own daylight savings program this year by starting school each morn- ing at the unpopular hour of 7:30 A.M. At 7:29 many wide-awake students, like senior Mimi Ronnau, leisurely strolled into school. Upper- classmen used flashlights in groping their way through dark halls toward their first hour class. Later at 10:30 pampered freshmen Steve War- ren, Patty Lally, and Marreila Collitte attempted to ride the elevator to class. Tired? - 45 - SENIORS, WE LOVE YOU John Cain, a typical freshman, on Freshman-Senior Day beams with seniorly love as someone asks, “Hey John, is that a smear on your glasses?” Defendant Debbie Spurck re- ceives the maximum penalty- four years at Miege.

This victory entitled them to elect the yearbook queen from their class. Mary Lu’s homeroom of senior girls al- so won the homeroom contest. Leslie Rohr caused Sister DeLourdes, chairman of the ad campaign, a great deal of trouble with all the money her homeroom brought in. Her sophomore homeroom won second place, losing to the seniors by $4.50.

A five-year-long dream finally came true on July 1, 1963, when the construction of the new wing and gym went fully underway. Although both additions were completed and ready for use early in January, it was not until the dedica- tion on February 8 that their completion was official. Of- ficiating at the formal dedication was His Excellency Arch- bishop Edward J. Hunkeler who after blessing the addition and addressing the entire faculty and student body, said Mass on the new altar placed in the center of the gym floor. We are confident that the new additions will bring us much pleasure and enjoyment. Hey, who’s got the salt pork and the hard tack?” asks Senior Julie Dold as students prepare for the long trek into Miege’s “New Frontier.” - 62 - FINALLY - - ALLELUIA - 63 - Father O'Connor gives the Papal Blessing. This year Miege students took time out of their busy lives for spiritual renewal and meditation. On April 1st to 5th the annual retreat was conducted by three Maryknoll priests, Father Tracy, Father O’Connor, and Father Sammon. The boys and girls had separate retreats: the girls at the first part of the week and the boys at the last part. Father Tracy conducted the retreat for the junior and senior girls and the freshman and sophomore boys; Father O’Connor was retreat master for the freshman and sophomore girls and the junior and senior boys. The retreat day consisted of several conferences. Mass, and Benedic- tion. Pat Boysen typifies the spirit of a re- treat: prayer and quiet meditation. SPIRITUAL RENEWAL Jimmy Heilman pri- vately consults with Father Tracy. Father Sammon, who was the retreat confes- sor, distributes communion. Spiritual reading plays a large part in in a retreat. Bernita Oelklaus chooses a pamphlet from among the many available to students.

Diane Orr and Tom Schumm follow in- structions carefully for their dance. Since it opening in September, 1958, Miege has endeavored to instill in its students a desire for academic excellence. This has often tended to produce high competitiveness for the various hon- ors awarded. Never has the competition been so close, however, as it has in this year’s graduating class. Two seniors, Susan Roche and Mary Koob, held exact academic averages of-4.0 during their sophomore, junior and senior years. The differ- entiating point in the decision of valedictorian and salutatorian was found only in the freshman records. A .13 higher average in Susan s first se- mester freshman year was the deciding factor. To both of these students goes the commendation of the student body and faculty alike for diligent excellence. Mary Koob, Salutatorian SENIOR AWARDS Each year the faculty nom- inates four per cent of the grad- uating class for the Aquinas Award. This award, unique in the fact that it was PTO ini- tiated, is the highest awarded honor that Miege bestows on sen- iors. It is given for service rend- ered to the school, academic achievement commensurate with ability, and general char- acter. This year eleven finalists were named by the faculty. From these, six Aquinas Awards win- ners will be anounced on Awards night in late May.

This win plus the six that preceded it enabled the Stags to compile one of the best records in the Kansas City area. Perhaps it was one of the best in the school’s short history considering the caliber of its opposition. This was the most challenging schedule that we have been able to play in the past five years and consider- ing even the two losses, it was to be one of the best teams we have been able to find at Miege. There was much disappointment by coaches, play- ers and fans following our opening loss to De La Salle by a 7-12 score. However, De La Salle was then to go on to a 9-1 season record, which certainly took any disgrace away from our loss to them. It is always a mark of great courage for a player or team to come back after a loss and then to win. This the Stags did, ending the season with a 7-2 re- cord. It was a fine year; one of which the players and the school can be extremely proud. Speaking for the coaches, we are very proud of the efforts of the 1962 football team. This team that did not have much depth (we had the smallest squad in the school’s history) cer- tainly gave all of us many reasons to be proud that they were representing us. It is a wonderful feeling to be associated with a winning team, but more so with a team which can take defeat and have the courage to come back. This is a valuable lesson for all to learn. - 78 - VARSITY AND B-TEAM SQUAD Bottom row. D. Lerner, P. Kelley, E. Younger, T. Keehn, M. Murray, L. Kellerman, K. Meinert, J. Walsh, L. Rouse, D.

(top row:) Greg Wilson. Tim Huckaby, Mike Judge. This year Miege athletes engaged in a new sport which is becoming very popular among the schools in the area. Cross Country is run over a rugged course consisting of running up hills, down hills, and making sharp turns over a distance of two miles. The first year of competition could be regarded as quite successful, as the runners won three dual meets, placed well in the Shawnee Mission Invitational, and registered 7th place in the regional meet. This year’s team was led by Pat Normile, a junior who was among the top ten run- ners in the Kansas regional held at Shawnee Mission East. Pat represented Miege at the state meet held at Emporia and tied for 14th place among a field of 90 runners. Other members of the team showing a pro- mising future are Mickey Fleskes, junior; Greg Wil- son, Mike Judge and Tim Huckaby, sophomores; and freshmen Bill Dunn and Larry Svaboda. Since this is a relatively new sport at Miege, more boys are still be- coming acquainted with Cross Country Track, but it will soon prove worthwhile and enjoyable for those who like to run.

It is to their credit that we have completed the first win- ning season in several years. I feel that competing against such established basketball powers as Ward, Rockhurst, Hayden, Sumner and Pern Day has raised the caliber of our play.

There were nine seniors, thirteen juniors, and eighteen sophomores par- ticipating in this year’s program. The season began with the intersquad meet before the school on March 26th. On March 31st The State Indoor Meet was held in which Keehn defended his championship in the shot. This was the first year we sent a complete varsity squad to the Indoor Meet. This year’s program included a pentagonal meet with Lillis, St. Joe, DeLaSalle, and St. Pius; the Argentine Relays; the Washington Re- lays; Bishop Miege Relays; S.M.

It keeps him up to date on current events in Student Council, the latest projects undertaken or sponsored by clubs and classes, and the achievements made by his indi- vidual fellow-students. It gives him the chance to have his work recognized by everyone who opens the paper. And it gives him the opportunity to enjoy the creative talents of others, or to try his hand at cartooning, writing articles for publication, or airing his views in editorials. Lately, a question has arisen many times from many people, who want to know why the “Miegian” should be bound into the yearbook. The purpose of a yearbook is to present a pictorial review of the year, while the newspaper is a chronicle of events. By adding the newspapers to the yearbook we have a convenient combination of both- therefore a more complete review of student life. This combination also provides the student with a reference book of past events. We, the members of the staff of ’63, hope that you have enjoyed our efforts to ful- fill this purpose. - 104 - THANK-YOU, Elaine, Hunter, Editor Construction Begun On Miege While the Stags were enjoying the summer sun and their well- earned three month’s vacation, the J. E. Dunn Construction Company was busy basting Miege’s bursting seams. The new building will house twelve new classrooms, several fac- utly lounges, and a gymnasium. The “Miegian” will run a series of pictures marking the progress on the addition. The picture to the right depicts the work completed by August 5. Volume V No. 1 the Ml EG IAN August 31, 1962 STUDENT COUNCIL MORE THAN OFFICERS There is a reason for selecting Student Council officers in the spring. The reason is the same as why our football team has been working out all summer. There is a great job to perform that can be done well only if there is a vast amount of preparation. Your foot- ball team has been at work; so has your Student Council. Just as every player has learned how to do his best for the team, every Student Council officer has learned how to do best for the school. The Student Council, though, has all quarter- backs we think up the plays and run them off, but our team cannot win. The whole team wants to score and feel the thrill of vic- tory, but only the quarterback can make this possible. Every player backs his team will you back yours? Your Student Council has planned some important games. Will you play for Miege in the fol- lowing? An effort to enhance spiritual growth of the students. An effort to kick off more en- joyable social activities. An effort to fight to traffic safety in the community. An effort to line up a better in- formed, better regarded student body. An effort to present a gala and successful homecoming. An effort to build up better clubs and serve student in- terests. An effort to roll up the score on educational interest. An effort to give good odds on having a migl.vy good year. Mike Grady President, Student Council - 105 - Thought Breeds Action The Common Market, CARE, and the Cotton Bowl — parts of a curriculum that we won’t find on any of Miege’s schedule cards. The school where these subjects are taught is one that enrolls each waking moment of our time. It is the school of thought. Education entails so much more than the details we memorize to pass a final exam. In fact, these details avail us nothing if we are unable to incorporate them into the panaramic view of a semester’s, or even a year’s, work. It is only by thinking out WHY Jefferson opposed the Federalists or WHY plants grow toward the light, that we can claim we are being educated. By the same token, only if we let our minds explore the whole world of politics and foreign affairs and sports can we call our education complete. Edith Hamilton, the famed clas- sics scholar, writes that “to be able to be caught up in the world of thought, that is to be educated.” Clifton Fadiman advocates the same point when he says that youth must read books on liter- ally hundreds of subjects. The in- formation we gain here is rambling and diverse, but it is a requisite for the thinking that feeds the mind. And it is this thinking which prompts the discussions — in bull sessions and all - night parties en route to football games and dur- ing lunch — that form our con- victions. If we are not informed on the organizations we can join to carry out our convictions, or if we are not aware of the part — no matter how small — we can play in the decisions of our government, it is not solely the fault of our teachers. How, then, do we involve ourselves in these realms of action? Miss Hamilton can tell us this between the lines she writes. She knows, and we must come to know, that thought breeds action. Susan Roche DON’T STUDY You say you don’t like to study? Then don’t do it. You say that you’d get sus- pended from your classes and eventually get expelled from the school if you don’t study? There are two solutions: 1) DON’T do any homework or study, and GET removed from the school, thereby relieving yourself of all respons- ibility for schoolwork; or 2) do a minimal amount of homework, or just enough to get through the classes with the credits. Naturally, there are drawbacks to both of these plans. If you follow the first course, you will have no schoolwork, it is true. But your parents may get some idea that since you are out of school, you should get out and earn your keep. In that case, you can plead some disability, either mental or physical (whichever seems most appropriate). If you are a boy, this may keep you out of the service for a while. If you follow the second ruse, you will eventually graduate. If, when you do, your parents still have any ideas about college, just tell them that the only college you can get into is a state college that has to accept all in-state students, and it is doubtful that your parents will bother. So if you are one of the many who have no desire to learn, and if you are also one of the many who like to take the easy way out, use one of these two plans, and you will undoubtedly get through (or out) of high school with a mini- mum of effort. Elaine Hunter School Spirit (Continued) — a love for Bishop Miege and all that it represents. This love, if it is really present, makes each and every student want to do everythin possible to make Miege recopnized as the best, at all times and in everythin . Mary Koob SCHOOL SPIRIT After three plorious months of sunny summer vacation, the time has now arrived when we reluctantly drap out our battered school books and once more trudpe throuph the halls of Miepe. At this time much emphasis is placed upon the importance of reawakeninp tempo- rarily dormant study habits and renew- inp interest in the intellectual side of school. But somethin hardly anyone ever bothers to reawaken or renew is the powerful quality of school spirit. But before we can renew school spirit wt must seriously consider exactly what school spirit is. School spirit is not just a slopan. It is more than cheerinp one- self hoarse at a panic or pep rally; more even than backing our team in defeat. It’s more than petting ads for the year- book; more than entering the annual literary contest. It’s more than selling tickets for the card party or collecting clothes for the clothes drive. These are mere externals; of themselves, they are not school spirit. School spirit is the force behind the externals. Yet it goes still deeper. It is joining the athletic teams and trying one’s best to win. It is the athletic star who does not laugh at the members of the debate team; the honor roll student who does not degrade the athletes. It’s participating actively in all school-sponsored activities. It’s co- operating with the student government and with the administration in all their undertakings whether they be popular or not. It’s respecting and obeying the teachers and the regulations of the school. It’s conducting oneself as a Catholic youth both in school and out. But perhaps most important, school spirit means developing a charitable at- titude toward each student — going out of one’s WAY' to be friendly to everyone, thus making a close-knit school. School spirit means that every student must make every other student at Miege feel as though he is an essential and inte- gral part of the school. And WHY? School is its own answer; for school spirit, when one comes as close as is possible to defining it is love THE STAFF Editor Elaine Hunter Feature Editor _________ Ann Linton News Editor Patrice Krampff Sports Editor ..........

Each day was made full by a schedule of prayer, work, and play. Conferences by visiting priests and one by Sister Alberta, Novice Mistress were among the highlights of these days. Mother Charles and Monsignor Koch also visited with the girls and made the Workshop beneficial and enjoyable to all who participated. The Miege PoVo’s were sorry to have Sister Stephen leave for her new teach- ing position at Bishop McGuinness High School. She was PoVo moderator for the last two years, and her invaluable aid and sparkling personality will be missed by each member. Sleepy Stags All over the United States thousands of 4H’ers are eagerly awakening at the crack of dawn to milk their bovine bud- dies with their hands, hearts, heads, etc. But in a Kansas City suburb, as this same sun rises, a sleepy variety of ani- mals called Stags are being pulled out of bed, stuffed with a polyunsaturated breakfast, and pushed out of the door toward school. Why so early? For those of you who haven’t opened or focused your tired eyes yet today marks the be- ginning of a new academic and social system for Miege—the split session. This split session may present a few minor problems for the studious, book- loving type student who might suffer hallucinations from lack of sleep. How- ever, for the majority of us plain oV fun-loving Stags it offers a wide range of benefits. For instance, the gala after- noon mixers will erase any worry a student could have about procuring head- lights for his car, we’ll be off those dangerous streets before dark and at home before our six o’clock bedtime. The mixers will bar their doors to the Freshmen this year (sob); but that’s just one of the special privileges of being a lower classman. Another added feature of the new schedule will be a four minute No-Doze break every hour for students and teach- ers. This could be a definite boom for the drug industry. Too bad nobody ever thought of the progressive idea of split sessions before; it sounds like gay, mad fun. Ann Linton the MSe Convention Your Investment in Leadership The NASC (National Association of Student Councils) is a nation-wide or- ganization of high school youths. From NASC headquarters in Washington, D.C. the functions of the several thousand Student Councils are directed. Last year Bishop Miege was accepted into the or- ganization and has already profited greatly from its membership. NASC is an extremely active organization whose yearly program culminates in a national convention. Each state high school as- sociation selects a limited quota of dele- gates to attend this convention. As a new member of NASC our chances of being selected as a delegate school were less than slim. However the fine record Miege has established gave us top pri- ority and Miege was selected as a mem- ber of the six school delegation from Kansas. (There are over six hundred schools in the state organization.) San Gabriel High School in San Ga- briel, Caliiornia was the scene of the 26th National Convention. The conven- tion was held from June 24-28 and was attended by about seven hundred youth leaders and faculty advisers. The Convention format included five General Sessions which were held in the spacious San Gabriel High School au- ditorium. They were presided over by Robert Parsons, NASC President. Num- bers of guest speakers were presented, including Gerald M. VanPool, the na- tional director of NASC; Robert M. Marsh, an authority on schools and edu- cation in England; Dr. Charles K. Fergu- son and Dr. Jessie Rhulman, professors from the University of California. A panel on international understanding was presented by three exchange students from foreign countries and three from the United States. These speakers pre- sented knowledge and information that has already proved invaluable to your Student Council leaders. Intermingled with the General Sessions were delegate to delegate discussions on the problems of Student Councils. The convention poled the thoughts, ideas, and pet ac- tivities of several million high school students. These thoughts and ideas were filtered down into about sixty-one topics which became known as Discussion Groups. Each delegate could attend three of these discussion groups and a fourth on Leadership Training techniques. The three electives I attended were: What should be the aims, purposes, and ob- jectives of the Student Council? What is a good year-long Student Council pro- gram? and, How and why should the Student Council coordinate the extra- curricular program in a school ? These discussion groups consisted of about Art Club Finishes Mosaic One of the main objectives of the Art Club is the promotion of interest in art within the student body. One of the projects of the club has been realized, namely, the making of a Madonna mo- saic' which is now situated in one of the central halls of Miege. The money needed for the project had been accumulating for nearly two years before the project was actually under way. Pat Stiles, with the help of Sister Stephen, Art Club moderator, Kathy Ma- honey, Ann Sexton, and the Art Club in general, started the actual work a week and a half after the end of the school year and completed the mosaic in record time on June 4, 1962. This mosaic was dedicated on June 14 by Father Sullivan. For this particular type of mosaic, the Byzantinian style was used because of the classical, serene effect it produced. The Art Club has in mind another project—the making of another mosaic, possibly one of Christ, to be planned some time in the near future. Debbie Linton The NASC Convention Continued thirty delegates and a student modera- tor. From these groups detailed notes on every suggestion and idea presented were taken. Similar information on twelve other topics is available from the delegates from each of the three Shaw- nee Mission high schools and Washing- ton High School. Complete records of all discussion groups will appear in the NASC now being published. In closing, I want to prevent any of you from being disillusioned into think- ing that the Convention was “all work and no play”. In just four short days the program committee managed to in- clude an afternoon and evening at Dis- neyland, entertainment by a troup of Mexican dancers, and a dinner-dance at the famous Huntington-Sheraton Hotel in San Gabriel. All in all the convention was a wonderful source of information and inspiration from which you the stu- dents will benefit throughout the entire year. For you it was a sound investment in good leadership, and for me a chance to do a better job. Mike Grady - 1U7 - SC OFFICERS TO CLINIC In mid-September the SC officers will attend the 1962 Kansas State High School Association Conferences on Stu- dent Councils. The purpose of these con- ferences, which will be held in Lawrence, Kansas, is to provide an opportunity for SC officers in this general area to meet and discuss their ideas for the coming school year. Kansas is one of the two states in the Union that does not sponsor a state-wide SC convention or workshop. The reason for this is primarily geographical. It would be close to impossible for all of the six hundred member schools of the KSHSA to send delegates to a con- vention because the distance that some would have to travel would be too great. Consequently, Kansas has been divided into eight districts. Each of these dis- tricts sponsors a SC workshop each year for the schools in its district. Bishop Miege has been selected as one of the schools in our district to help present the program. This selection was made primarily on the basis of Mike Grady’s attending the National Association of Student Councils convention last sum- mer in California. Therefore, Mike Grady, SC president, and Mary Koob, Student Council secretary, will conduct a discussion group. The topic will be: What is a good year long SC program? Included in the discussion will be the aims a SC should have and the projects it could sponsor. It is hoped that the SC officers will return with many new, beneficial, ideas to better your Student Council. Mary Koob '62 Grad Hurt Ronnie Ross, class of ’62, received a fractured skull, which resulted in the temporary paralysis of one side of his face and total blindness in one eye, when the jack supporting his car slipped early this summer. Ronnie, who was working under the car at the time, was operated upon successfully on August 9. The op- eration, doctors say, will eventually re- lieve the paralysis of his face. The Stags all offer their deepest sympathy and their best wishes to Ronnie on his entry into Rockhurst College this fall. Sr. Patrice To New Post Sister M. Patrice, Miege’s first prin- cipal, will be holding that same position at St. Agnes’ Grade School beginning this fall. Sister was principal of Miege from the opening of the school until two years ago, when she was transferred by her Superior. The Stags wish her luck in her new position. Spotlight Following in the footsteps of the staff of the “Miegian” of ’62, this year’s staff wishes to put the spotlight on some student who is particularly deserving of recognition. For the first issue, they de- cided that it would be most appropriate to spotlight one of the outstanding alumni from the class of ’62. Dave Fortin, class president and val- edictorian of the class of ’62, says that he “will miss the school and the kids” although he didn’t think he would feel that way after the end of last year, being, like most seniors, glad to leave high school behind him. This summer, however, he has been too busy to miss much. He has been working as a lifeguard at the Canyon Swim Club. At the first part of the sum- mer, he traveled to various colleges and towns where he demonstrated the skills he acquired in the Speed Reading course that he took earlier this year. Some of his demonstration-stops were Iowa State University, St. Benedict’s College, Mount Saint Scholastica, and Donnelly College. His city stops were St. Louis, Mo., Des Moines, Iowa, and Wichita, Kansas. In Des Moines and in Wichita, Dave made several television shows as demonstra- tions. This fall, Dave will begin his college life as a freshman at the University of Notre Dame. He will be attending the College of Medicine on a full-tuition scholarship, and, w'hile he has not de- cided upon a specialized field, he will be carrying a course of approximately eighteen hours, including as many courses in humanities as possible. In regards to extra-curricular activities, Dave is looking forward to the football games of the Fighting Irish, and to par- ticipating in the University debate team activities. Elaine Hunter - 108 - Stags Enjoy Starlight Season Many of the students of Miege found entertainment at the Starlight Theatre during the late lamented summer vaca- tion. Among the excellent musicals and “package” shows presented were MUSIC MAN, CAROL BURNETTE. FIORELLO and AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS. A troupe of Mexican dancers with Jose J imanez was also on the bill of fare. A number of the Stags had purchased First Nighter cards at the close of the school year. These cards entitle the pur- chaser to any price of seat in the arena at half price. At a cost of only fifty seats, these cards (good on the first night of each show) ease the pain in the region of the wallet considerably. The sale of the cards to students only is part of a program by the theatre management to attract high school stu- dents to the shows. A number of area high schools participated, each sending two representatives to the Starlight Stu- dent Advisory Board. The Miegian dele- gates were Kathy Johnson and John Wisner. John was elected to the office of president of the Advisory Board. In addition to the sale of the First Nighter cards in the spring, the dele- gates were given the duties of attending the meetings of the Board, and present- ing a criticism of each Starlight show. The teen-agers of the Kansas City area have shown great interest in the Starlight, and by all indication, the theatre will be worthy of even more at- tention in the year to come. John Wisner Alum To Join Franciscans Bill Humphrey, long-time “Man with a Camera,” has entered the Franciscan col- lege, Duns Scotius, in preparation for his entry into the order, famous for its strict rule of poverty. Bill plans to become a priest, and may go into retreat work. The prayers and sincere best wishes for happiness in your vocation go with Bill from the Stags. John Wisner GIRLS’ STATE From June 10th to 17th Mary Koob and I were fortunate enough to be dele- gates to Sunflower Girls’ State, a gov- ernment-in-action-project sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. Held on the K. U. campus. Girls’ State affords its citizens the opportunity to learn about, set up, and run a mythical gov- ernment on city, county and state levels. Armed with the sole idea that we were to take part in a week-long Americanism program, Mary and I arrived on campus a bit leary of what was to come. But after the first city meetings, our doubts were dispglled as we stepped into the dizzying pace that brought us first to primary campaigns in the Nationalist and Federalist parties, with supplemen- tary lectures on the purpose of parties, their organization and ballot marking, and then to the general election where we learned the meaning of crossing party lines to support our own city and county candidates. By the time election results were in, we had also selected city officials to organize this level of government and precinct committeewomen to set up county and party networks. Mary’s job as committeewoman and county repre- sentative to the House and mine as city council woman helped us to grasp the important facts of U. S. government by putting them into practice. With the «week just half over, actual government-in-action began with various sessions of the legislature and its com- mittees where bills were introduced and their processing later witnessed in open sessions by the whole Girls’ State pop- ulation. These activities were spurred on by talks and discussions on parliamentary procedure, civil rights and civil defense. To these main points were added many other topics too diverse to mention here. Socially, Girls' State was equally fast- moving. An inaugural ceremony and reception with Kansas Governor John Anderson, Jr., a formal banquet and an official initiation were the highlights. Less formal were the snacks, buzz sessions and meals with all the accom- panying cheering and fast-forming friendships. In the business line we published a daily newspaper, cut a 33-1 3 speed long- playing record, and photographed all our activities for a Girls’ State yearbook. Averaging 4 Vj hours of sleep a night and climbing over 2.000 steps a day, Mary and I were justly exhausted by the 17th. But we soon recovered to the new ODDS 'N ENDS by Rusty Scholtes Well, kiddies, contrary to popular opinion. Uncle Rusty is back with his column, affectionately known as the “Corn Corner.” You may be asking yourselves what kind of person would write a column like this. For your information, it’s a fellow who for eight years thought Bill Graham was the inventor of the graham cracker. For this first edition, I thought it would be appropriate to tell you about the “accomplishments” of some of our fellow students during the summer. Gene Goober, Sophomore, has been grounded for sixteen weeks because he threw his father’s shoes down the base- ment stairs. You see, it wouldn’t have been so bad if it had not been for the fact that his father was still in them. Billy Crechlow, Senior, built a com- puter in his basement all by himself. He says there are a few bugs to be ironed out. It seems that every time he feeds it a formula—it belches. Stan Basey, Junior, son of the famous brain surgeon, took a Canadian fishing trip with his father. He said not to be- lieve all that talk about doctors being squares. According to Stan, Dr. Basey’s a real cut up. Arthur Grundie, Freshman, was work- ing on a giant pressure cooker, when he found out that he had inherited one million dollars. In his joy, Art fell into the pressure cooker—becoming the first compressed heir. For sharing their experiences with us, each student will receive a sterling silver hatchet for splitting headaches. In closing, I would like to leave you with the words of my favorite poet, Barley Hopps (Barley was so cross-eyed that every time he cried, tears ran down his back). For this masterpiece of poetic art, he won twenty-five years in a mental institution. Roses are red, Violets are blue, Don’t eat the dum dums, And never trust a rogue elephant. Rusty Scholtes Girls’ State Continued awareness that we have a role in the destiny of tomorrow through participa- tion in government today. It is this responsibility that Girls’ State imparts to its citizens. Susan Roche - 109 - BOYS’ STATE From June 3 to June 9, Jack Hove and Rusty Scholtes participated in Boys’ State, an annual demonstration of the inner workings of the state legislature for selected seniors held in Wichita, Kansas. Rusty and Jack arrived at Wichita South High School, where the affair was held, on Sunday, and were immediately given their identification badges, which were attached to their Boys’ State hats. The badges identified them as to party, county, and city. Both boys were repre- sentatives of Pershing County, which meant that they bunked in the same hall of the school buildings, but Jack was a Federalist Senator from Pierson, while Rusty was a Nationalist member of the House of Representatives from the city of Hauke. The entire proceedings were run ac- cording to military procedure and dis- cipline. They slept on cots in the halls of the school, rising at six fifteen every morning, had a period of calisthenics, breakfast, and went immediately to work. Every bill passed by the Boys’ State Congress was sent to the Kansas State Legislature for consideration, including a bill regarding the re-aportionment of Kansas by districts. At six every evening the boys had inspection, when they stood by their perfectly made cots until they were reviewed by an Army Reservist and a colonel from McConell Air Base. Then they were free to go to dinner. After dinner, they went to re- view, when all five hundred and twenty of the boys attending paraded before the reviewing stand and were graded on marching by the same two gentlemen from the Army Reserves and from the Air Force. They were separated by county — and Pershing County was the most disliked of the five counties be- cause Pershing received the marching award five days out of six. The one day that they didn’t receive the award, they were awakened at five thirty instead of six fifteen, and practiced until time for their calisthenics. They won every day after that. Every evening after review there was some form of entertainment, usually in the form of some of the local talent. The climax of the entire program of activities came on Friday night, when the members of Boys’ State and a group of Wichita girls attended the Governors Ball, which was held in the main hall of the school. Saturday morning, the boys were dis- missed, and they arrived in Kansas City early that evening. Student Enrollment Increase Paces Faculty Growth Miege will enter the new school ses- sions this year, with eight new’ faculty members. At the printing of this article, six are known—four Sisters and two lay teachers. Sisters Clarice and Gregory, both capable English II teachers, will also be in charge of Communicative Arts and English III, respectively. Sister Phillip has been handed the Typing and General Business courses, and Sister Anna will be instructing Miegians in Chemistry and Physical Science. Mrs. Sullivan, who for the past five years has been teaching at St. Teresa’s, will be teaching Latin I and Speech. Mr. Lazzo, formerly of Maur Hill, will teach American Government and General Math. We all welcome the new teachers and hope they will be happy at their new school. Not to be overshadowed by the growth in the ranks of the Faculty, the Miege student body has increased over last year’s enrollment by 110 students, bring- ing the Miege population to a new high of 943. Divided among the classes, the figures read like this: 161 Seniors, 238 Juniors, 28 1 Sophomores, and 260 new Freshmen. Beth Alexander High Hopes for Victory With the opening of the new school year, hopes are running high for both a spirited football team and pep club. Registration for pep club was taken on August 23 and 24, Miege’s enrollment day. The annual dues of $2.00 are to be turned in by October 5, the first Friday of the month. These dues will cover transportation to all out-of-town games, homecoming decorations, and also the Christmas decorations. All will benefit from these dues so they are asked to be turned in as soon as possible. The pep club rules this year requires all girls to wear the white pep club sweater, skirt, and a white tailored blouse. Members attend all required games which are home games and desig- nated in-town games. They are allowed to miss three football games and three basketball games, a total of six through- out the year. In the spring pins will be given to those who have shown an in- terest in both the team and the pep club and have attended a specified number of games.

Cheerleading Clinic The cheerleaders will attend a clinic at Southwest High School on September 1. Here new cheers and cheerleading skills will be taught along with yells and other routines. The clinic should prove to be very helpful to the girls in the coming year. Both the cheerleaders and the pep club officers are anxious to make it the best season it has ever been and to spur the Stags on to victory. Leslie Spurck Grads To Convent The Ursuline Convent in Paola claimed five more alumnae of Miege this sum- mer. Jeannine Allen, Kathy Dueber, Pat Nanneman, Mary Redlinger, and Nancy Pfeiffer (all 1962 graduates) entered the religious life on July 16. Preparation for this step started many years back for some of the girls and all are former Po-vo Club members. For the first six months of their new life the former Miegians will continue their studies as postulants. Their work will include taking such courses as logic and theology. Following their postulancy will come a 2-year period as novices, and finally their vows as Ursulines. Patrice Krampff HOVE SETS NEW RECORD Records, it is said, are made to be broken. This seems to be the outlook of Jack Hove. Miege’s swimming star, upon entering various swimming meets across the country this summer. Jack, who swims the freestyle stroke, set a new record for the national age group of 15-17 on the two-hundred-yard event with a timing of 1.58:4. He broke the 1961 record of 2.01:1 by 2:7 seconds in his record swim. He also has come close to the national age group record in the one-hundred-yard freestyle event of his division with a time of 51.9 seconds. This is .2 second off the record for 1961. In the more difficult 400 meter race, he recorded a time of 4.46:6 which places him second in comparative times thus far in the 1962 swimming season. Jack also com- peted in the Senior-Men’s Swimming Meet in Ohio on August 10 and 11. Broader Curriculum Brings Stiffer C ourses Seven new courses have been added to last year’s curriculum. Each of these new subjects run for one semester, so it is possible for an energetic student to complete two in one year. Open to the Sophomores are Homemaking and Music and Art Appreciation. Juniors may take these two and also Logic, Psychology, Physiology, and Journalism. Seniors may take any of these courses and also Economics. We hope that these new courses will add to the strength as well as the size of the Miege curriculum. Grants for Usulines Recently three of Miege’s Ursuline Sisters received grants for graduate study in social science, journalism, and mathematics. Two of the grants are for summer study and one is a fellowship for study during the academic year. Sister M. Grace, Miege’s American History and World History teacher, is the recipient of two grants. She has been granted a fellowship to Notre Dame University under the auspices of the National Defense Education Act. A di- rect grant of $4,600 has been set up for two years study in the field of political science. Sister Grace also received a grant for summer study offered by the Slavic and Soviet area studies program of the Uni- versity of Kansas. Sister M. Immaculta, English teacher, is the recipient of a grant from the Newspaper Institute for study in the school of journalism at Marquette Uni- versity, Milwaukee, Wis. Sister M. Pauline, math instructor, received a grant from the National Science Foundation to participate in the summer institute for teachers of mathe- matics at St. Louis University, St. Louis, Mo. Leslie Spurck Volunteers From Five Miege girls — Carroll McAvoy, Mary Hess, Leslie Rohr, Diana Dagg, and Elaine Hunter — spent Thursday afternoons and Friday mornings work- ing at the corner of 27th and Paseo. They were doing volunteer work at St. Anthony’s Home For Infants. The girls developed a number of valuable skills — they learned how to change diapers at a rate of one every two minutes, how to burp a baby who would rather not, how to keep the food going in (instead of out) of a four-month-old’s mouth, and how two girls can keep seven baby boys from crying all at once. The Home houses approximately thirty-five chil- dren — all orphans, foundlings, un- wanted children, and babies born out of wedlock. The children range from just- born to four years, in most cases, al- though there is one girl who is eight years old — she is blind, dumb, para- lyzed from the waist down, and mentally retarded. There are several other men- tally retarded children in the Home, but on the whole, they are normal, healthy, homeless children. The Home needs vol- unteers to help with the children des- perately, and the girls hope to work there again soon. - Ill - FOOTBALL PREVIEW Once again it is time to start another school year. It seems like only a short time ago when everyone was looking for- ward to the summer. Where did the time go?” would probably be the uni- versal comment among the majority of students. This is true probably not only of stu- dents but also of teachers and especially of your football coaches. It seems like only a short time ago we closed the 1961 football season at Ward field. Now it is already time to begin another year on the gridiron. This is usually a time when most stu- dents have visions of obtaining all A’s in their subjects. The same is usually true among football players and coaches. At this time 1 always have high hopes for a very successful season as do all players have ambitions of being a starter and receiving their varsity football letter. W'e are very optimistic in regards to the coming season. Our prospects are very encouraging for the coming season because we have many returning on the squad who have played two or more seasons of varsity football. There is not a great deal of doubt in my mind that the ability of these players is, perhaps, equal to the teams we have had in the past few years. If these boys will work hard enough not only as individuals but as a team I feel we will again have a successful year. The schedule this year will include some new schools. These are William Chrisman, one of the strongest teams in Kansas, Mo.; St. F ius X, a growing Catholic school which is now about the same size as Miege; and Sumner, a large Kansas City school. We will also play such schools as De La Salle, Argentine, Rockhurst, and Ward, which promise to be, perhaps, four of the best teams in the area. These games will not either be won or lost only by the players and the coaches. It is very important to players and coaches alike to know that you will give us your complete support regard- less of whether we win or lose. Football is a big part of the school as it is very important towards develop- ing a good school spirit. I am not only asking you for your loyal support throughout the season but also would like to remind you that you as well as the team will be representa- tive of our school. This is entirely up to you. I do have confidence that you will not disappoint me, your team, or your school. Mr. Richard Byard Head Football Coach Four Miegians Play Ball For Belger Four of the members of the Bel- ger Cartage Junior Baseball Team for the ’62 season were top Miege athletes and students. They are Mike Murray, Jim Aust, Rusty Scholtes, and Jim Bornheimer. All four boys are seasoned veterans of the summer baseball league cir- cuit.

Kans. ()ct. 5, 1962 New Faculty Members Comment on Miege “I’m all for it!” was Miss Carmaline Chir- veno’s unhesitating reply when asked her opinion of the freshman-senior day. Miss Chir- veno also remarked on the great spirit and friendliness of the students. When asked the difference between teach- ing in an all-girl’s school and a co educational school Mrs. Margueritte Sullivan answered, “Students are students all over the world.” Mrs. Sullivan added that she was welcomed by both the students and the faculty. “I’ve really enjoyed my first weeks, was Sister Clarice’s response. Sister went on to comment on the maturity of the students and their ability to accept responsibility. Miss Rosemary Koetting when asked her opinion of Miege put her answer simply but enthusiastically: “I think it’s a great school.” Mr. Gene Lazzo in commenting on Miege's scholastic ability said that it “measures up” to all he had heard about it. Mr. Lazzo also mentioned that the interests of the students are broad and their attitude wholesome In closing he remarked, “The overall student is better than average caliber.” “When 1 get used to the large crowds mil- ling around in the halls, 1 will like it very much, was the reply given by Sister Gregory when questioned about Miege. Sister Gregory is the author of Golden Tapestries, the life of St. Frances ol Rome. Sisters Anna and Philip like the students, the school, and even the sessions. Beth Alexander THE REVEREND HENRY FORGE LEFT FOR CATHOLIC U. in Washington Septem- ber 24, where he will study for a year. F'a- ther taught at Miege from 1959 62 and showed great interest in the student body while here, especially in his religion classes, by serving as chaplain for the Y.C.S., and by his influence in starting a Y.C.S. boys’ group. Parishioners at St. Ann's Parish where F’a- ther was an assistant, gave a party in his honor the evening of September2.‘I. (Picture above) Ron Meinert Dave Martin Meinert, Martin Class Presidents At their first meeting of the year, seniors elected Ron Meinert president of their class. Other nominees for presidency were: Larry Rouse. Jack Hove, and Rusty Scholtes. Other officers to be elected were: Larry Kellerman, vice-president; Mimi Ronnau, secretary; and Jim Boydston. treasurer. Also nominated lor vice-presidency were: Dave Crawley, Doug Draggert, and Pat Cliflord; for secretary: Mary Sue Scardello and Mary Donahoe; and for treasurer: Jim Aust and John Koetting. Juniors at their class meeting elected Dave Martin, president; Dave Depping, vice-presi- dent; Mary Kay Conry, secretary; and Mel- vin Lavery, treasurer. Ron Meinert Stags Prove Spirit At School Assembly Mike Grady, S.C. president, asked fora vote of confidence” of sorts when he asked the students to vote, through a demonstra- tion of school spirit, for the kind of year they wanted. He said, “We can have a great year or a lousy one; what'll it be?” And when the cheerleaders came out to count the ballots, the results were unanimously behind Mike in his efforts to make this year the best the Stags have had. Mike informed the students that S.C. offi cers have surveyed the past to see what the mistakes and problems were, then divided them into three main categories. The first category is homerooms. Former- ly only fifteen minutes, the homerooms will now be held during the time when Friday re- ligion class would normally be held- a half hour a week. The second area is representation. Instead of each class electing five representatives as in the past, this year the representatives were selected from the homerooms them- selves. Representatives will listen to ideas that the students have, fill out legislative forms with the students, take the idea to Stu- dent Council, and work to get it passed. The bill if it passes Student Council approval will be sent to Father Sullivan who will approve or reject, and will send an explanation as to his decision. The last problem is participation. That has been solved, Mike informed the student body by the decision that every major pro ject shall be subject to approval of the stu dent body. Approval or disapproval shall lie shown by vote. Other speakers at the assembly were F'a- ther Sullivan, principal, Dean Frazier, and Sister Martina. F’ather extended a cordial welcome to the students, and expressed his desire that they maintain a family spirit” and a “spirit’ of charity” in the school. Dean F'razier stated that he desired to help the students in every way possible. The Dean of Women, Sister Martina, asked the girls to help her keep the school running smoothly, as that is a woman’s job. F laine Hunter Well Begun is Half Done-Old, but True by Buzz Buchanan, So far this school year has made great headway. The year of ’62 - ’63 has every indication of becoming the greatest year in Miege’s his- tory. This year’s student body can conquer any situation thrown at them, no matter how great. Thus far the spirit of the classes has been gratifying. This was illustrated at the upper class orientation assem- bly, and further proved during the senior-freshmen day. The spirit of the school as a whole has been tre- mendous. This was demonstrated at vice-president S.C. the first football game, when de- spite the darkening outlook the stu- dent body gave full support to a magnificent team that played their hearts out for the school. School spirit has also been displayed by the full cooperation of the students in school projects. We have the opportunity to take Miege from the ranks of one of the best schools” in the area and elevate it to the best school in the area, the opportunity to make ’62 - ’63 the greatest year yet! - 113- The Miegian MONTHLY NEWSMAGAZINE Editor-in-chief Elaine Hunter News Editor Patrice Krampff Editorial Staff Mary Koob, Susan Roche Pat Stiles, Buzz Buchanan Feature Editor Ann Linton Sports Editors Don Gerling, Larry Rouse Assistant Doug Couch Exchange Editors Diane Martin, Martha Ziegelmeyer Art Director Jay Walsh Associates Jim Boydston, Doug Dragert Photographers John Reidelbach, Fred Mance, Bill Pesek Reporters Suzanne Le Breck, Margaret Mary Lavery, Diane Martin, Kim Sexton, Doug Couch, Richard Annan, Jay Walsh, Joe Hartnett, Mike Ferrari, Ron Meinert, Susie Newbanks, Beth Alexander, Gayle Maloney, Martha Ziegelmeyer, Connie Mealey, Patti Fuchs, Ann Linton. Typists We’re on the Move - Stav With Us! With a chorus of banging hammers, buzzing saws, and clanking boards, the 1962-63 school season at Miege enters well heralded. As the students tromp into the hallowed halls of their Alma Mater, all are im- mediately aware that things are changing and there’s building going on. But one is tempted to wonder just how many students and others associated with the school are aware of another kind of building which has been going on from as far back as last year. True, you couldn’t hear the rattle of equipment, and if you walked past the school, its ef- fect wasn’t manifest in that way. But for months the Student Council officers, working steadily and keeping in close contact with members of the faculty, have been slowly and carefully formulating new policies meant to give students greater benefits and more freedom in the strate- gic areas of self government and social life. Granted, the building or build-up itself cannot be seen, but its effects are many and far reaching. They extend to such areas as the student retreat, college and career days, clubs, and a full social calendar in the form of dances, football and bas- ketball games. These achievements were not haphazard, spur-of-the-moment de- cisions, but were considered and reconsidered, studied and restudied, and finally, built and rebuilt until they became the organized, well-made group of points which were presented to the school at its first all-school assem- bly. Yes, things are going up and growing up. The present admin- istration, including the Student Council, the faculty relations, and gener- al student relations, could be called (to use a classic term in a modem sense) the Renaissance” of Miege. For it is indeed a rebirth, an awakening. New traditions are being added and the old stand-bys are being improved upon. That elusive little sprite, dubbed “School Spirit” for want of a better name, was reclaimed or rather reawakened, by the Miegians, manifested beautifully at the aforementioned school assembly, and since has been seen bouncing around corridors and in classrooms. The building of our school, of her spirit, of her reputation of her traditions, has already been well begun by our able leaders. The task which lies ahead, the task of continuing the building process is the job of each and every student. It is the obligation of each Miegian to do- nate a share of his time, his prayers and his service for the growth of his school to make this the greatest year Everyone must do his part. Each obligation must be fulfilled. With unity and cooperation great things wall be accomplished. p _ Publisher Aitmaster Yearbook� , Inc. Moderator Sr. M.

Students Join Clubs Join-a-club-day, sponsored by the Student Council, was held September 17. During the first few minutes of first, second and third hours, one of the academic or selective mem- bership clubs had a spokesman who told of the aims, interests, and future projects of their clubs. The students were encouraged to listen attentively to each speaker, decide to which club they would like to belong, and sign up for their chosen clubs during seventh hour in the cafeteria. Clubs and organizations represented were: Science Club, Math Club, Latin Club. Art Club, Library Club, Industrial Arts Club, Na- tional Honor Society, YCS, Po-Vo, N.F.L. and the Miegian. Martha Ziegelmeyer School Landscaping Discussed by S.C. A beautification and landscaping project for the school campus was among the topics discussed at an informal meeting of the Stu- dent Council officers. The idea of this project was explained by Mike Grady, president of S.C. “This year gives us the chance to do something really tremendous for the school. We have the op- portunity to make our campus as beautiful as a college campus.” Among the plans discussed was a complete landscaping of the grounds including the area around the new addition. Also a side- walk along the south drive for the students’ benefit is planned. The new courtyard between the new gym and the classrooms would need to be land- scaped. The area would be planted with shrubbery and plants and would be finished with a fountain, possibly designed by the art classes of Sister Roberta. Upon the completion of this area, it would be called the “senior court” and would be re- served expressly for the seniors’ use. Here they could meet after lunch or at any other time available. The officers finally discussed methods of raising money to pay the expenses that these projects would incur. Richard Annan S.C. REPS ELECTED Student Council representatives and home- room chairmen and secretaries were elected from each ol the homerooms September 14. Representatives will discuss bills drawn up in the homeroom and then take them to the Student Council meetings. All bills will be numbered and introduced according to their importance.

Sister expects about a 24 man team with many par- ticipants being novices. She is especially pleas- ed with the fact that the basement of St. Agnes Church has been made available to the debaters for practice. Coming events for debate include the 2nd Annual Miege Invitational Tournament to be held here October 28 and 29. The tournament will be organized by the debate and National Forensic League members. Patrice Krampff Members of Miege S.C. Participate at Clinic Members of the Miege Student Council at- tended a workshop in Lawrence, Kansas, Sep- tember 24. Mike Grady, president of Student Council; Mary Koob, secretary; Buzz Buchanan, vice- president; and Tom Geraghty, treasurer; Sus- an Roche, social corresponding secretary; John Koetting, parlimentarian; Elaine Hunt- er, editor of the Miegian, and Patrice Krampff, yearbook editor participated. Mike and Mary conducted a one hour ses- sion of the day. Connie Mealey - 115 - KAT HER HAIR AND STREAK HER FAC E! Mighty senior, Hernita Oelklaus has little pity on frosh Susie Huddemeyer who passively allows herself to be decorated. ' Susie has obediently worn her billboard nameplate of a specified size, but even that didn't help. The seniors had an eye out for her! - 116 - COME HERE FRESHMEN! It was ten minutes until H hour. The assault troops waited nervously. To pass the slowly waning time, they checked and rechecked their gear: lipstick, eye shadow, nail polish, perfume, hair nets, shower caps, shoe shine kits, and a variety of insults. Then the attack was sounded! The commandoes poured out on Red Beach, Green Beach, and Blue Beach (Floors one, two, and three). Loud voices echoed through the corridors, “Come here, freshmen! One senior stood with a mirthful smile on his face as his captured freshman put a glow- ing shine on his shoes. Other seniors trapped freshmen in the corners and not so skillfully applied assorted makeup to members of both sexes. When the would-be-beauticians were through, one couldn't tell boys from girls and most looked like fugitives from a three ring circus. After the freshmen had been decorated to suit the seniors’ fancy, a new set of fun and games began. Some non-participants (sophomores and juniors) were shocked to see a freshman swim- ming down the hall with a powerful, but con- fused back stroke. Other frosh were made to walk along on their knees, looking up at the all powerful seniors. The luckier ones just had to carry three or four seniors' books. On the bottom floor, in the corners, fresh- men were doing the twist while strung out down the corridor was a chorus line doing the Can-Can to the tune of We Love You, Sen- iors. The day ended prematurely for the seniors, but for the freshmen, it could have ended two hours and a ton of lipstick earlier. Mike Ferrari The seniors enjoyed Senior-Freshmen Day. However, some comments from freshmen were: Pretty weird. Some seniors overdid it. I thought it was fun. It was pretty good for the seniors. I didn t get caught at all! It was a blast. Do it every day. Would like a Fresh- men-Senior Day. Better have one when I'm a senior. Hope it doesn't hap- pen again. Think it was fun, but glad it's over. Mike Ferrari LIPSTICK, PERFUME, MASCARA, ETC. Who would ever guess that these were the true marks of a freshman in high school? But, believe it or not, more was to come. Singing auditions were performed before seniors. Some arm muscles were strengthened by the carrying of books and the opening of lockers. My motto now is: As a senior, I’ll do unto others as they did unto us. Susan Likens, freshman There's no mistaking it when Don Gerling bawls out, Guilty, and the Stags take up the cry that the misdemeanoring frosh will have to take their punishment. Here, Georget Sestrirh bows to the will of the masses. “Give the tip a brighter shine, instructs senior Dave I-er- ner to freshman Cindy Johnston. Verdict-Guilty! Thumbs Down For Frosh A mock trial against two freshman girls, Georget Ses- trich and Debbie Spurck on senior freshman night gave the mixer a big boost. Georget Sestrich was tried and con- victed on the charges of tearing the shirt of Mike Scherzer for hitting him and putting lipstick on his shirt. Debbie Spurck was tried for saying “spesgetti” instead of spa- ghetti. The Kangaroo court was made up of seniors Mike Grady, Don Gerling, and Tom Keehn. John Wisner and Buzz Buchanan, juniors, also participated. The Intruders, Tim Page, Larry Bowden, Rusty Scholtes, and Bill Kernion played at the mixer, the first of the school year. Susie Newbanks 'Pime to pause and refresh in the St. Agnes Howling Alley after strenuous “doings” in the gym upstairs. There’s real rhythm being strummed out lor Stags to dance to. The Intrud- ers are I arry Bowden, Bill Kernion, Tim Page, and Rusty Scholtes. - 117 - Speech Classes Prepare to Speak Sister Roberta’s speech classes are making a study of current world affairs for the pur- pose of panel speaking outside the class Their research will lead into subjects con- cerning the Ecumenical Councils and Vati- can Councils, President De Gaulle in France, the European market and the farm bill. Stu- dents will be prepared to volunteer to speak at mothers' clubs and other clubs wishing them to. Later the paper will publish a Stu- dent Speaker’s Bureau. Connie Mealey Newcomers Welcomed A total of twenty nine new upperclassmen and eight out-of-state freshmen became Stags this year. Although the sophomore and jun ior classes had tu elve and thirteen transfers respectively, the senior class had only four. 1 enjoy every minute, and every day it gets better,” was Mary Jo Alvard's reply to a question regarding her opinion of Miege. Mary Jo, a sophomore from Joplin, Missouri, went on to say that the students were so friendly that she already felt she belonged. McAuley High School in Joplin, the school Mary Jo attended last year had only about 200 students. Mary Noonan, a senior from Bishop Den- nis J. O'Connell High in Arlington, Virginia, pointed out how surprised she was to find the students so friendly. Mary said she really felt accepted when she was asked to participate, as a Titan, in the pep assembly held Septem- ber 13. Several other students mentioned their gratitude for the first issue of the Miegian. They said it gave them a sneak preview of Miege Grady is wonderful” was the reply of one student as to his opinion of the Student Council. The students are looking forward to the Homecoming, Winter Carnival, and the prom. Gayle Maloney Debaters to Clinic Representing Miege, John Wisner and Mike Grady attended a debate clinic held at Shawnee Mission North September 15. They met Washington High School on this year’s resolution, resolved: the United States should adopt reciprocal free-trade with non com- munist countries. Miege was honored to be able to attend as participating schools were chosen from a selected number. Connie Mealy I ask the student for full cooperation.” Dean Robert Frazier. Deans Express Desire to Help We are not here as a watchdog, Mr Fra- zier, Dean of Boys, replied when asked, What is the purpose of a dean? Dean Frazier urged any students who might have a problem to come to him; he also asked that the student give him full cooperation. Mr. Frazier is happy with his new posi- tion. Being both a teacher and a coach, he would like to see Miege the best, both in aca- demics and in sports. Sister Martina. Dean of Girls, stated that her job is to help the students know the limi- tations and the privilege� oi school life. Sister realizes that being Dean of Girls is a big re- sponsibility but she is very interested in the school and the student, and so is glad to serve in the capacity of Dean. Mike Ferrari I’m here to help anyone who needs help.” Sister M. Martina Choir Plans Events The Choir this year will sing at the Teach- ers' Institute in November and during the Christmas season on the Plaza and in Prairie Village. They will again attend the Music Festival and entertain the P.T.O. in the spring. Juniors started practice September 7 for the schedule ahead. Regular practices will be three times a week at 1:30. Sixty-five juniors and seniors were select- ed through the week of September 10 for Miege's Choir. Interested students sang the scale accompanied by Judy Meyers at the piano and were judged by Sister Marie Therese on the quality of their voices. Connie Mealey Stag Chosen as Royalette Mary Ann Weibling, sophomore, was chos- en to dance with the American Royal Royal- ettes this fall. Mary Ann was one of 42 girls chosen from a field of 125 who auditioned September 7. Other dancers are from sur- rounding schools in the Kansas City area. The Royalettes are high school girls chosen every year to appear in the American Royal parade and to perform at the American Royal Ball. The Ball will be held on October 6 at the American Royal Auditorium, and will be the highlight of Royal week. Now a tradition of the Ball, the girls will perform three dances in ballet and modem jazz follow ing the theme Town and Country.” Sell Ads For Your Yearbook What — A New Book! Why should 1 buy a new religion book?” was the question asked by many students at enrollment this past August Father Sullivan principal, made the follow- ing statements about the revised text: This new book will give a complete ex- planation of the faith, under one cover. The other text was used in most classes sparingly. There was quite a bit of criticism of the other text. This is also a hook which a person could, when he is finished with it. keep as a good reference book. The book has long lasting value. Many classes did not revolve around the textbook. With this book all the students will be talking about the same subject matter. Joe Hartnett - 118 - ODD 'N’ ENDS by RuHty Sc hoi te� The reaction to this column has been a- stounding. I would like to thank you for the interest shown in your threatening phone calls and bomb scares. It makes a fellow feel good to know that so many people are willing to take the time to do away with him. 1 would like to offer my most humble apol- ogy for embarrassing Miss Hellinger in front of some students by telling her how nice her hair looked. There are some historic dates coming up in the future which I wouldn’t want you to miss. They are: Oct. 6 - In 1934 the First Parachute Divi- sion was formed at Fort Splatter, Georgia. One of the cadets asked how high a trooper should be before he jumps. The instructor told him - stewed to the gills. Oct. 13 - Skid Row, bank teller, was caught “borrowing’ $100,000 from the bank. The ex- aminers who discovered the loss gave him a loaded gun and told him that he knew what to do with it He did. He shot the bank ex- aminers. That was in 1940. Oct. 18 - Rumor has it that this will be the day for Dean Frazier’s raid on a floating “spin the bottle” game. Oct. 23 - On this day in the year 1928, El- liot Ness poured one million gallons of one hundred proof whiskey into the Atlantic Ocean. This was the beginning of a new food sensation-pickled herring. Oct. 25 - In 1960 Dr. Coronary Thrombosis crossed a parrot with a tiger. What did they call it? I don’t know, but when he talked you listened. Well, 1 have to go out and check under the hood of our car for explosives hooked to the ignition wires. Remember those inspiring words from that immortal poet, Barley Hoppe “Better things for better living through cor- ruption ” CONGRATULATIONS to Mike O’Brien on placing: aa a National Merit Semi-Finalist Frosh Play Faculty The top freshman girls’ volleyball team played members of the faculty in the St Agnes gym, Monday afternoon, September 24, and won. Captain of the winning team was Maggie Venneman. To determine participants for the contest, the girls held tournaments on the school park- ing lot. Each class was divided into three squads. Captains were: Cathleen Doherty, Jane Mika, Patricia Grothaus, (4th period); Maggie Venneman, Susie Likens, Joan Stud- well, (5th period); Marianne Furst, Joan D'Agostino, Janet McDaniel, (7th period); Kathleen O’Connell, Carol Porter, Evelyn Myscofski, (8th period); Kay Wood, Isabella Corrado, Nora Ruckh, (9th period). Father Sullivan, principal, refereed the game. Miss Chirveno, phys. ed. instructor, was in charge of the tournament. Susie Newbanks Pep Club Sparks Enthusiasm At the First meeting of the year held Sep- tember 11, members of the pep club were in- structed in the new type of cheering proce- dure to be used this year. Janet Rubin, pep club president, explained the rules to the new members governing their attire and conduct at the football, basketball games, and at all other school functions. Freshmen were dismissed from half of the seventh hour class in order to attend the meeting. It had to be held in two shifts to accommodate all the members Debbie Spurck and Patty Dugan, fresh- men, were selected from a field of fifteen girls be B-Team cheerleaders. The tryouts were held in the recreation room Saturday, Sep- tember 8 by the Pep Club. ABOUT 5,000 WELL SELECTED TITLES MAKE UP MIEGE’S LIBRARY THIS YEAR. Sister Juliana has planned a program of orien- tation in order that the library may be used properly and efficiently. Freshmen orienta- tion was September 11-14. Frosh used two English periods on the study of lectures and film strips and two half-periods on exercises based on lectures. Upper classmen were given a brief refresher orientation September 17-21. Suzanne Le Breck Debbie and Patty, along with Virginia Barbour, Juju Barnard and Mimi Hensler will comprise the B-Team squad for this year. Martha Ziegelmeyer Who? Discussion is important in Sister Georgetta's Group Guidance Class. The freshmen bring their baby pictures and try to identify each other in a Who’s Who contest. Sister Georgetta, Ann McNeill, Ibby Helbing, Patty Dugan, and Pat Lally eniov the work. Margaret Mary Lavery Debbie Linton B-Team Cheerleaders And Squad Chosen - 119 - “Filthy Fourteen” Finish Flat The senior locker room, more commonly referred to as the Filthy Fourteen's Flat, has recently undergone a transformation to give it a homey appearance. Lovely cast-off throw rugs generously donated by several of the seniors adorn the floor and a large wall mirror occupies a section of the wall. At pre- sent Larry Rouse and Pat Kelly are busy bar- gaining with the Salvation Army in order to obtain a set of curtains lor the windows. These two seniors previously acquired rea- sonable bargains from the St. Vincent de Paul Society and the Salvation Army, a pair of adorable bathrobes or smoking jackets as they are preferably referred to. Tom Keehn's jacket is probably more suitable for a person with a slighter build but it is necessary to agree with Tom, that it does cover what is necessary. Dave Lerner's is just the opfiosite so people may be shocked in seeing a large smoking jacket apparently worn by nobody parading enroute from the showers to the locker room. Atmosphere is provided by the two piece radio borrowed from parties un- mentionable. A cool-cat sign greets visitors informing them as to the flat they enter. Jay Walsh 8 Team Halts Titans A touchdown and a safety were the only scores, but Bishop Miege's Junior Varsity made both, enabling the Stags to triumph over I)e l«a Salle by a score of 8-0. Tom Ham- mond hauled in a pass from Jim Grabenhorst for the touchdown while two alert Miege line- men accounted for the safety. Doug Couch Stags Stage Upset Miege evened its season record 1 and 1 while at the same time ruining Argentine's Homecoming with a hard-fought 7 to 6 vic- tory over the Mustangs. The Stags, 21 point underdogs, battled Argentine to a stalemate in the first quarter before they surged ahead with a score in the second stanza. This fourth victory for the Stags in as many meetings of the teams, featured strong line play and fine passing by Argentine's quarterback, Jim Doyle, and Miege’s signal caller, Mike Mur- ray. The Stags dominated the second quarter as they marched 60 yards before Murray went over on a two yard run for the scgre. Seconds later, he also scored the all-important extra point. Murray’s passing was the highlight of the scoring drive as he hit M.D. Murray for 13 yards; Ed Younger on a screen pass for 15 yards; and Larry Rouse on 3 short passes for 30 yards. Miege played an excellent first half defen- sively as they held the Mustangs to 12 yards rushing. Argentine came back in the fourth quarter as they marched 45 yards on 7 plays through the tired Miege line. Quarterback Doyle scor- ed from J yard out after the Stags had held the Mustangs for 3 plays within the 5 yard line. The pass for the extra point was broken up to end the scoring for the game Argentine had a last chance to pull it out when Miege fumbled with 3 minutes to go. But a Mustang fumble two plays later was pounced upon by Ed Younger to end the t ireat Larry Rouse Stags Drop Opener Miege fell to its first defeat of the season Saturday, September 15, at the hands of De La Salle, the top ranking team in the city, by a score of 12-7. Ed Younger got Miege off to a good start by scoring the Stags only score in the first quarter He then added the extra point and the Stags were through scoring for the night. The Titans scored six points in each of the second and third quarters to seal the victory. The game was a very frustrating one for all loyal Miegians and the players alike as num- erous times the Stags penetrated deep in De La Salle territory only to be stopped short of the goal. Don Gerling GOLD TRIUMPHS OVER WHITE The Stags previewed their 1962 football team Sunday, September 9 on the St. Agnes field. Traditionally the Gold, or first unit, de- feated the White, or alternate squad, by a score of 42-0 Dave Lerner was the big gun for the Gold scoring 15 points. Don Foot Gerling Stags display offensive power against De I .a Salle in season opener. - 120 - Mike O’Brien. N1MSQT Semifinalist, plans to attend Marquette University or K.C. next year. Senior Semifinalist Mike O’Brien, a senior received notice on September 27 that his test scores on the Na- tional Merit Qualifying Test taken last spring ranked him a National Merit Semifinalist. This means that Mike and some 10,999 other high school semifinalists scored in the upper 2 3 of the 99th percentile. In order to qual- ity as a finalist he must take another test be- fore December 1 of this year. Along with this test Mike is required to submit certain per- sonal information in regard to his grades, extra-curricular activities, character, and leadership ability The results of the final test scores and the personal data will be used by the National Merit selection board to de- termine the scholarship winners. The National Merit Corporation is the largest privately sponsored scholarship pro- gram in the history of education. This year two million dollars has been allocated to the N.M.C. by professional organizations, unions, and individuals. Approximately 10'V of the Finalists will receive scholarships ranging from a mmumum of $100 to a maximum of $1500 depending upon the individual students need. The winners of the National Merit scholar- ships will Ik notified by March 20. 1963. Ad Drive A Success rile 1962 '63 yearbook Queen will be chos- en from the senior class who brought in the most money above their quota of $4.00 |H r student. The winning homeroom was also from the senior class of which Mary Lu Doll is chairman. This homeroom will be given special recognition in the yearbook. Close runners up were the sophomores who also went well over their quota. Leslie Rohr's sophomore homeroom lagged only $20 liehind the winning homeroom The three week drive evidenced the whole- hearted cooperation and effort of the entire student body. Funds from ads and boosters shot well over the $3,000 goal set at the l� e- ginning of the campaign. Ping Pong Palls and Pepsi at S.C. Clinic Have you ever watched fifty intelligent Student Council Presidents walk across a stage trying to hit a ping pong ball off a pep- si cola bottle? If so. have you ever sat there utterly amazed as everyone failed to do it cor- rectly? This was mine and twelve other Miege delegate's experience on Monday, September 24, at the Student Council Conference at Lawrence High School. You might say, So that's what you did up there—goofed. vVell. we did have fun, but we also learned something. This demonstration was one of the ways in which Mr. F2arl Rume of the Denver Pub- lic School System brought across a point through a joke or a funny action. The point expressed in the pepsi episode was that often things appear simple; but actually under the surface, are next to impossible. In working in the Student Council we must analyze our problems and find the solutions; no matter how hidden they are This demonstration concluded a day of at- tending various discussion groups dealing with Student Council topics. Over 100 represen- tatives from area schools attended discussions dealing with Student Council projects, aims, objectives to stimulate school pride, and an effective year-long program led by Miege's Student Council officers. In these discussion groups, every delegate had a chance to contri- bute his school’s views and ask questions of ot her delegates. The conference was designed to inform and aid the Student Councils of the participating schools, and to encourage them to have the l est Student Council, not just a l� etter one. Members of the Miege delegation were: Mike Grady, Bu z Buchanan. Mary Koob. Tom Geraghty, Susan Roche. John Koettmg, Ron Meinert. Don Gerling. John Wisner.

Ininiaeulata The Miegian-Nnvemlier a. 1962 Published every month by the students of Bishop Miege Hitch school; Mission. Kansas WHAT SHALL IT BE SALTED WITH? Bigotry exists among all groups of people, including Catholics. This is the trouble” which plagues the Church today. Many Catholics are content to interpret Christ's commandment, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself,” as Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, unless he is a Negro, a Jew, or a member of any other minority group.” Strong evidence of this misinterpre- tation is given by the Catholic segregation leaders in the South who were excommuni- cated for their contribution to the trouble.” Throughout the New Testament is proof that Christ’s message of love meant more than mere tolerance for those considered in- ferior. First to worship Him were shepherds, considered to be among the lowest in rank of the Jewish religion. He touched lepers when He cured them, while other people wouldn’t go near them. He stayed two days in Samaria, a place other Jews went out of their way to avoid entering. And finally it was a North African, Simon of Cyrene, whose skin was black, who helped Christ bear His cross. The trouble” with Catholics today would diminish if we could be willing to give up our favorite prejudices and be true Christians. By this will all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35) We are the salt of the earth; it is our re- sponsibility to see that the salt doesn’t lose its flavor. Anne Sexton CANDY SALES IN- S.C. PROJECTS GO The last issue of the miegian covered the beautification project proposal. Since then the student body decided in favor of such a project, which would include improvement of school landscaping, a sidewalk along the South drive, and possible lighting of the parking lot. Because of the expense involved a signifi- cant source of finance was sought by the S.C. After studying various ways and means of making money, a proposal from Mr Ted Natt of the World’s Finest Chocolate Company was found to offer exactly what we were looking for--about nine thousand dollars. The idea MIKE GRADY met enthusiastic approval in the homerooms; then in S.C. The candy sale concerns a decorative con- tainer inscribed Merry Christmas, Bishop Miege High School, Beautification Project. December 6th will probably be the day when each student receives his twelve containers of chocolate covered almonds. Advance orders will be taken during the previous week. Pos- sible prizes might include record players, transistor radios, and a weekend in Chicago or St. Louis, via jet, for the top winners. Twelve two-dollar Christmas gift sales should be a welcome offer for each student to make.

Never mind • Doug Dragert - 122 - Representatives Ok New Homeroom System “The installing of this new system has pro- voked more interest in the homerooms and a noticable stimulation of the conversation and participation of the students has occur- red.” answered Jay Walsh, senior represen- tative, when asked about the new method of conducting homerooms. In this new system each class is divided in- to homerooms, and each homeroom has elect- ed representatives to Student Council. Home- room chairmen and secretaries have also been elected to conduct the meetings which are held every Friday during the religion period. Certain homeroom periods (usually after the Student Council meetings) are set aside to dis- cuss Council activities specifically Any student can make a proposal or sug- gestion during these special meetings. If a majority of his homeroom votes to approve the proposal it is sent on to Student Council in the following manner. The person who proposed the idea will write it out on a regulation bill form and sign it. The bill is also marked with the home- room number and moderator so that an ac- curate record can be kept. The bill is then taken to the Council by the representative and is given a number. When the bill appears on the agenda the representative from the homeroom in which it originated presents the bill to the Council in an objective manner. Following debate, the proposal is voted on and, if passed, is put into action. When questioned, other representatives expressed enthusiasm for the new method. Martha Ziegelmeyer, junior representative, said, I think the homeroom system will 1� much more effective this year than last. The students have responded more because they have elected their own representatives. Mary Ellen Gerrity, freshman representative, ex- pressed this opinion: “It is effective because it gives the freshmen an equal chance to be part of the school-even with split sessions. Miege Mash One thing which both the freshmen and senior boys have in common is their giant shoe size. I am thoroughly convinced that no boy who wears less than a size 13 shoe is ad- mitted to Miege I know from experience, be- cause about all of them have stepped and trampled my dainty, girlish size 10 shoe. But all in all, you can give me a confused, half-starved, bespectacled freshman boy any time because, you see, I am a confused, be- spectacled, half-starved freshman girl. Suzy Linton New Honor Roll Initiated This year, besides the Scholastic Honor Roll, Miege will have a Fellowship Honor Roll. The latter will be based on grades rang- ing from A to F, given by the teacher for Sr. “Ben” Performs Operation Cut-up “Oh s” and “ah’s” broke the penetrating silence of the physiology classes as students attentively watched the operation. The pa- tient, a small white rat, was in the hands of a more able surgeon than Ben Casey Sister Martina carefully dissected the furry animal, removing various organs to be used for slides under the microscope. Students stained their Epidemic Hits Miege Among adolescents (that's us), conformity is supposed to give a sense of “belonging that lends security to our troubled and confused young lives Well, the students at Miege. es- pecially the girls, who are attractively clad in matching outfits, are really feeling secure this year. Too secure! This over-conformity in dress is causing a disease peculiar to our school, Sickus Gray us, or the “Grey Sickness. This near fatal mala- dy had a 102% mortality rate and victims have these unmistakable symptoms; tired toe- nails from standing on tiptoes trying to be no- ticed, pooped personality, and grey rash. Nine out of ten New York doctors could not cure this dread disease even with Ironized Yeast. The only known cure is innoculation with anti-conformity shots or “different” shots as own specimens and observed magnified cell structure. After the operation, the patient was wrapped in a brown paper shroud and cremated in the incinerator. Watching Sister Martina are Harold Metz, Ted Ryan, Larry Quirk, John Reidelback, Ed Schumm and Bill Snyder.

Making the “M on the field in preparation for the Homecoming Game Stags Attend Convention Eleven members of the Miege Library Club and Sister Juliana, club moderator, were among those to attend a regional convention of library clubs at Olathe, Kansas on Septem- ber 29. The Stags spent the day touring a school for the deaf and the Naval Air Station in Olathe. They also attended a business meeting to determine officers for the coming year and to decide on changes in the constitu- tion.

Fat Landis and Kathy Healy represented Miege at the Catholic Li- brary Assistant s Meeting held at Lillis High School. Discussion ranged from the modem Catholic library to a patron saint for librar- ies. Library Club to CLA The Library Club was invited to attend the Librarians Twenty-Seventh Annual Con- ference of the Midwest Unit of the Catholic Library Association on October 20, 1962, at Feeney Memorial Library, Mount St. Scho- lastica College, Athicson, Kansas.

ODD N’ ENDS by Rusty Sc holies For this edition 1 decided to play the role of a poor man’s Ann Landers and answer some of your questions. In doing this I hope to ease the burden of these troubled minds. Having a degree in insanity, I feel qualified for the job Q. 1 have terrible pains in my teeth which come and go, but are unusually painful at Miege Moderator and Miss Patricia Hellinger, yearbook modera- tor. Patrice Krampff, and Elaine Hunter, representatives from the Miege journalism department, attended a press conference held at the Empire Theater on October 8. They were guests of the management at a picnic style dinner, a tour of the theater, and a free night. What am I suffering from? A. For this question I consulted a dentist, who after studying your symptoms, gave me his diagnosis. Your teeth are probably in great shape, but your gums will have to be remov- ed. Q. I just inherited twenty thousand dollars from my uncle, who recently passed away. What shall I do with it? A. My advice to you is to take some of it and spend it on women, clothes, good times; and squander the rest foolishly. Q. How old are you? A. 1 am seventeen years old by your stand- ards. earthling. Keally I am two hundred-fifty years old according to my planet’s standards. I was sent here to observe your way of life, and was supposed to ret urn a week ago. How- ever, last month I left my flying saucer double parked, and it was towed away So you see, I will be with you some time. Q. Do the Intruders” have a record out now? A. As far as 1 know, the only record the “Intruders” have is three weeks in jail for impersonating musicians. Q. Are you going to write a book? A. Yes. It is called “Crime Doesn’t Fay” and it is going to be about all the heroes who shot bad guys in the back. My poem for the monish is by an up and coming poet by the name Eggs Benedict. I never wash my sneakers. Some people say that's wrong, For when the wind doth change direction, Man do they get strong!!!

Seniors Swing Sweaters If you were among the underclassmen who happened to be trudging uneasily through the M.H.A. corridors last September 27th, you probably heard the enraged shouts of the senior girls. They were carrying on a dis- cussion that made the Kennedy-Nixon debates look like childs' play. The topic of discussion was a major one--what to wear for the senior gradua- tion pictures. Suggestions ranging from pajamas to sarongs were offered by unidentified seniors; but either black sweaters or drapes were the final choices. A vote was taken in each of the English classes. The results were an- nounced after sixth hour. The drapes won 44-39. By first hour the next day an error on the part of one of Miege s out- standing mathematical geniuses was discovered. A second and final vote had to be cast on September 28th. Sweaters rated high, as the ’62-'63 year-book will indicate. Gayle Maloney - 126 - Middle of Miege line stops a Hawklet. Miege students were asked what they thought of the Miege, Chrisman football game. This question was put to one of the more modest football players and his answer came quite easily. “I think I did a great job! Other not so prejudiced ntudents were ask- ed the question and the answers were as fol- lows: “Tremendous with a capital THEM. “It was surprising “ “I thought it was great. “Pretty neat. Ii didn’t go. We got a good write up in the paper.” It was skiziwow! “It was Peachy Keehn! “It was just spongy! One girl just didn't know what to think of the game. To quote exactly, AHH! UH!? Mike Ferrari Mixer Alive and Moving “String up Rockhurst was the morbid theme of the second Miege mixer held in the cafeteria. October 19. This was evident not only in words but also by the hanging of a Rockhurst football dummy from the rear wall. Among the high points of the dance was Mike Ferrari's interpreta- tion of the Monster Mash, and the Senior Square Dance, or, rather, the Stamina Dance, which seemed to drag on for an hour. The Intruders, wearing new outfits, kept the music lively and sound- ed as if they should get a chance to appear on the Amateur Hour for which they auditioned the first part of October. As the dance started to break up, a few comments by some of the more lively seniors were, “Crazy Man, Peggy Feren; I wish it could have lasted longer, Patty Warren; “Hope the Homecoming is as good, Jim Aust. Members of the Social Committee responsible for decorating the cafeteria were: Sue Brandmeyer, Cheryl Sestrich, Peggy Feren, Hon Reg- an, Jim Myers, Jim Aust, Tim Connelly, Don Gerling, Doug Dragert, and Pat Clifford. Jim Myers Rockhurst Stops Meige 14-0 Bishop Miege Stags fell to their second defeat of the season at the hands of the Rockhurst Hawks on Octo- ber 13 at the Hawks’ field. Miege started quick with Mike J. Murray leading the team down to the Rock- hurst 20 yd. line before Rockhurst took over on downs. Miege again got moving late in the first quarter with Dave Bussjaeger leading the way from the fullback position. But again the Hawks took possession of the ball deep in Rockhurst territory on a recovered fumble. This inspired Rockhurst and they drove to a score This score stood up and at half-time Rockhurst led 7-0. Rockhurst finished the scoring in the second half and the score at the end was 14-0. The Miege line led by Mike D. Murray and Ron Meinert contained the powerful Rockhurst backfield except for the two touchdowns. Miege suffered three key injuries in the game. Larry Kellerman had three ribs broken. Mike J. Murray suffered a severly bruised collarbone and Larry Rouse obtained a bruised back. Murray and Kellerman will be out of action for about two to three weeks. Don Gerling Murray Leads Stags to Victory The passing of quarterback Mike Murray coupled with a strong de- fense, proved to be the difference as a fired-up Bishop Miege team scored in every quarter to knock off favored and rated William Chrisman 32 to 14. Miege recovered a Chrisman fumble in the first quarter on their own 35 yd. line and went the distance as Dave Bussjaeger went over lor the first score. Bussjaeger then scored the point after touchdown on the same play. Early in the second period, a lateral from Bussjaeger to Murray for 80 yds. accounted for the second T D. The P.A.T. was again added by Bussjaeger. Later in the same period, Murray hit Ed Younger on an 8 yd. pass for a score which capped an 85 yd. drive. The Stags scored in the third and fourth quarters on passes of 25 and 35 yds. from Murray to Younger to put the game safely out of reach. Chrisman scored twice in the fourth quarter against the Stags' re- serves to avoid a shutout. Their first score was on a 20 yd pass from Dick Agee to end Chris Black. The kick for the P.A T. was good. The final touchdown was on a 7 yd. run by Chappelow. The kick again was good to wind up the scoring.

B Team Game With Rockhurst A 90 yd. punt return by Pete Suess, and Dave Martin's all around excellence sparked the Miege Junior Varsity to a 20-0 romp over Rockhurst's counterparts, October 16 at Miege. Rockhurst. subbing by complete units, could mount only a token offense, as they could not get their ground or air attacks mov- ing. Dave Martin was outstanding on offense and defense, his two pass interceptions prov- ing the latter. Scoring a touchdown in the second half, Martin seemed to run almost casually around the flank and scored easily. On this and many other plays, he had good blocking, but on other occasions when blast- ing was necessary. Dave supplied the dyna- mite. Miege’s backfield of Jim Grabenhorst, Martin, Suess. and Tommy Geraghty, operat- ed smoothly and through explosive running managed to cross the final stripe three times. The high point of the afternoon for many spectators was a pass interception by a rather extensively built tackle, Larry Woolard. Doug Couch Sophs-Argentine Sparked by a 99 yd. runback of an inter- cepted pass by Dennis Harris, Miege’s sopho- more squad whipped the Argentine sopho- mores 13-7. at Argentine September 26.

Miegian Staff To Milwaukee Catholic Press Conference Eight members of the Miege journalism Department: Sister M. Immacualata, moder- ator, Sister M de Lourdes, Elaine Hunter, Ann Linton, Gayle Maloney, Nancy Tremble, Dave Crawley, and Bill Kernion attended the National Catholic Educational Press Congress held in Milwaukee, November 9-11. The main theme of the Congress, which was sponsored by the Catholic School Press Association and the Marquette University College of Journa- lism, was The Press: Its Personal and Social Dimension. The first session was held for all the mem- bers of the Congress, and was an Illustra- tion Workshop.” It was directed by Mr. Ro- bert G. Strobridge of the Layton School of Art, a well-known figure in the field of litho- graphy. Mr. Strobridge demonstrated to the attendant students that Art, while being over-worked as a word, is another kind of language, the language of seeing, a language in which people participate with their minds and eyes. He proved his point by showing a series of slides from Steinberg’s humorous Contemporary Cartoons to distasteful pic- tures of distorted human faces. He also show- ed by the use of slides, the effects of various color or line combinations for use in journa- lism layout. At the next conference Miss Jane Mary Farley spoke on Personalism and Writing.” Miss Farley, a feature writer for the Milwau- kee Journal and graduate from the Mar- quette School of Journalism, told the dele- gates that there is not set formula for success- ful journalism: that the journalist as a crafts- man, like anv other skilled worker, must prac- tice his art to become perfect at it.

Sue Audley, Pat Stiles, Kathy Redman, and Judy Soenen were host- esses. ••••• To all 150 parents and friends of students of Bishop Miege who assisted in judging--a tremendous thanks Milwaukee (cont) The final conference to the first day was given over to an address by Mr. James O’Gara, the managing editor of the Commonweal, who spoke on the topic The Catholic Journalist and the Temporal Order. Mr. O’Gara said that the role of the Catholic writer is to be the reflection of Christianity in the world. He accused Catholics of negativism, of re- action only when Catholic interests are jeop- ardized. He closed by pointing out that Cath- olics must be informed, willing, anxious, and prepared to apply Catholic prinicples. Continued P. 2 This year RCA has an Adopt a School Program. In this program forty-three schools were chosen throughout the U.S. It is an ex- perimental Music Appreciation Program to foster the desire for better music among stu- dents. To increase interest in music the RCA Company has offered to give prizes if the school will conduct a contest on music. The contest will be held sometime after Christmas. Prizes are: first, 50 records; second 25 records; and third. 10 records. Beethoven sweatshirts may also be used as prizes for competing stu- dents. Mr. Gil Karcuaski. Kansas City Missouri sales manager of the R. C. A. Record Division made the presentation of the stereo and the records. Also present was Mrs. L. H. Engel- ken of the Mission Record Shop, Mission, Kansas. It was through the efforts of Mrs. L. H. Engelken that Miege was the recipient of the stereo and musical library. In order to receive the RCA Adopt a School Plan, the school must present a good course in Music Appreciation. Joe Hartnett K. of C.

Miegian Staff tcont) A member of the Stag delegation attended a sectional conference entitled “Quality: the High Price of Magazine Publication.’’ It was given by Sr. Mary Victorian, O.P., of Trinity High School in River Forest, Wisconsin. The gist of Sister’s speech was that students should use space only when it is necessary; that a varied format is necessary to maintain the reader's interest. The next general session entitled, What the Catholic Brings to Journalism,’’ was under the direction of the Reverend James W. Wha- len. Father said that a man’s convictions should show forth in everything he does. He stated that a thing is not ethical simply be- cause it breaks no law and that a newspaper- man is ethical only when he tries to get at the news from the viewpoint of the common good of his readers. Mr. John Kuenster of the Chicago Daily News spoke at the last general conference which the Stags attended He stressed the necessity for objectivity in writing. The re- porter must be able to report in depth and get off of the trivialities, he said. Editorial Is Our Education Worth the Expense? An education is an extremely expensive thing, economically expensive because of the many costs it involves. The tuition is forever increasing be- cause of the rising salaries of teachers and maintenance costs; textbooks are certainly not cheap, but we undoubtedly can’t do without them; and what about the cost of microscopes, laboratory specimens, special equip- ment, school supplies in general; all of these can sure add up. But on the other hand an education can’t be measured by the price. The greater expense of education does not deal with money but rather with time and effort. How long do you suppose a teacher spends each day planning, teaching and correcting? What about the people who wrote the textbooks; it took them years of research and work to accumulate all the knowledge incorporated into one of those books. There are those who serve on school boards who spend uncountable hours trying to improve the school system; and the Church officials who try to make the school a place to strengthen our faith as well as our minds. There are thousands of people whom we will never know who have contributed in some way or another to our education. Let us not forget our parents; they have given more than anyone. They have endured sacrifices of money, time, work, and great mental strain for our schooling. If we are worried about grades so are they; if we are un- happy in anyway so are our parents. They want us to have the best op- portunities in the world and often they have to sacrifice in order for us to have these opportunities. Realizing how great the number of people is who have dedicated their lives to good education should make us see how important our schooling is. It should give us incentive to work as hard as we can at repaying all those hours of time and worry by doing our best in school and by being a good American and a staunch Catholic.

Patrice Krampff To open National Book Week at Miege, Mrs. Velma West Sykes, poet, gave a lecture on Robert Frost. Although Frost’s life was touched upon, the main emphasis was on his writings and the importance that the theme carries in his poems. Among the poems which Mrs. Sykes read were: Birches, The Runaway, Mending Wall, Departmental, and The Census Taker. The lecture ended on a note of challenge for each one to meet: “I shall be telling this with a sigh some- where ages and ages hence: Two roads di- verged in a wood and I--I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the dif- ference.” -The Road Not Taken- “Surelv this has something in it for all of us,” were Mrs Sykes words on this quotation. After the lecture a question and answer session followed. Debbie Linton Miegian Yearbook Queen Rosie Dolan has been chosen by the Sen- ior class to be the 1963 Yearbook Queen.

Dance Girls pinned with that special corsage and boys dressed in their best started arriving about 8:30 the night of November 2nd. The gym resembled a football field with goal posts at either end. Red and white streamers lined the sides of the wall and a three dimensional daisy represented the team of Pem-day. Everyone danced to the music of the Cres- cents. The evening was highlighted with the pre- sentation of the queen and her four attend- ants. The five girls walked on a white carpet up the stage. The throne was shaped like a football with the queen’s chair in the middle. Mike Murray and Larry Kellerman, cap- tain and co-captain of the football team, al- ternated with the distribution of the honors. The fourth attendant, announced by Mike, was Janet Rubin escorted by Larry Rouse Larry resounded Belinda Ross’s name as third attendant escorted by Jay Walsh. Mike gave due honor to Leslie Spurk as second attend- ant escorted by Dave Bussjaeger. Suspense mounted as each boy took an ap- proximate three minutes to open each en- velope. Now standing side by side were left Mary Koob and Mary Fuchs. “The first attendant to the queen is Mary . . Koob, escorted by Larry Kellerman.” Mike's pause before the last name seemed to last longer than all the envelope opening put together. Through all the applause could only be heard the name of Mary Fuchs, as the 1962 Homecoming Queen of Bishop Miege, escorted by Mike Murray. She received a dozen red roses and a kiss from the captain. The attendants all received a bouquet of white mums. Once again, the lights resumed their dim- ness and the five couples danced, as the Cres- cents paid their respects. ■ 132 - Rally Preparations Coach Dick Byard Drill team in action. Preceding the homecoming game with Pern-Day, the junior and sen- ior girls performed a skit for the Stags enlivening the enthusiasm of the weekend activities. The senior girls, portraying members of the popular “Filthy Fourteen group, made humorous attempts at imitating the char- acteristics of some of the members. Ron Meinert and Rusty Sholtes shar- ed the M. C. job introducing the girls, coaches, and royalty. Rosie Dolan and Tom Keehn adequately filled their parts but not their costumes in the prehistoric resemblance of the first homecoming while Pam Sposato and Ron Thies stood around like wooden Indians Coach Byard then commended the Pep Club on their fine display throughout the season, and Coach Frazier informed the audience of how cold it was. The assembly ended with a skirmish between the Filthy Fourteen” and the Pern-Day Pansies followed by an introduction of the Homecoming Royalty. Jay Walsh Mary Donahoe informs, “This is a football.' Refreshments were served a little after ten in the corridor adjoining the gym. Cookies and punch were served. The parents of the royalty acted as chap- erons. Students plus many attending faculty mem- bers commented that all was a success. Connie Mealey “Once around the track James,” was the command of the homecom- ing royalty as the caravan of super fine cars started around the Pern Day field. Janet Rubin, 4th attendant to the queen, was seated in the lead car, a ”63“ Tempest from Andy Klein Pontiac. Belinda Ross, 3rd attend- ant, was riding high in a blue Bonneville also from Andy Klein Pontiac. Leslie Spurck, 2nd attendant, drew the third car in line, a Thunderbird from Mission Ford. Riding in another Bonneville from Andy Klein Pontiac was the 1st attendant, Mary Koob. Then came the “62“ Miege Home- coming Queen.

This year's roundball team should be the best yet. The Stags have almost the entire '61-’62 team re- turning Heading this list are five returning lettermen: Bernie Bialek, last season's most valuable player; Jim Bornheimer, leading re- bounder; Mike Ferrari, starting and Mike J. Murray and Ed Younger, veteran starters from last year. Following these five are: Hick Coan, Don Gerling and Doug Kollert. along Bernie Bialek dunk it in. Lettermen’s Club Elect New Officers Elected to the four main offices of the Let- termen’s Club on November 6 were: Larry House, president; Ed Younger, vice-president; Bernie Bialek. treasurer; and Pat Kelly secre- tary.

Rollert. brother of B-team ” Bones” Robert of a few years back, may add strength to the Miege line-up with his 6'3 frame. The Stags feature a running team that should improve on last year’s record. Coach Schmiedeler will field a very well-rounded team with plenty of versatility, experience and depth. The opening game is Dec. 4, at Olathe and the team is looking for the whole hearted sup- port of the student body and faculty. Don “Foot” Gerling Miege Places Seven On All Catholic Team Seven members from this year’s highly rated Miege football team have been selected by area coaches to the 1962 AH-Area Catholic team. Backs Dave Bussjaeger, Ed Younger, and Mike J. Murray; linemen Larry Rouse, Tom Keehn, Larry Kellerman, and Ron Meinert, all of whom can operate both on offense and defense, were selected. Bussjaeger, Keehn, Meinert, Murray, and Rouse were selected to the first team, while Kellerman and Younger received honorable mention. The seven were chosen over gridiron stars from such Catholic school powers as De La Salle, Rockhurst, Lillis, and Ward. Doug Couch Front Row: Larry Rouse, Tom Keehn, Ron Meinert, Larry Kellerman. Back: Mike Murray, Dave Bussjaeger, Ed Younger. Mike J. Murray goes around to score against Ward. Miege Dumps Ward, 27-12 A 20-point second half highlighted by the two touchdowns of Mike Murray proved to be the margin of victory for the Stags as they posted a 27-12 win over Ward on the Miege field. After the first half had ended with the Stags leading, 7-6, Murray went to work to ice the game. He scored on runs of 18 and 5 yards and guided the Miege offense. Besides the works of Murray, the biggest single blow to Ward was a blocked-punt- touchdown by Larry Rouse early in the third period. Rouse raced in and picked the ball off the toe of the Cyclone punter and sprinted in for a TD. The play was good for 35 yards and snapped the back of the Cyclones who were trailing 7-6. Murray followed with a march to paydirt in the latter part of the third period and he scored again in the fourth quarter to ice the game Ward scored in the second and fourth per- iods but failed to connect on the extra point efforts. Miege’s first touchdown came as Tom Dwy- er caught a Murray pass and went in fora 23-yard tally. Larry Dercher and Les Riley scored for Ward, Dercher on a one-yard run and Riley on a 43-yard pass interception. Miege finished the season with a 7-2 record which was best among the independents. Don Gerling - 134 - Stags Win Homecoming Miege completed a successful Homecoming by routing traditional rival, Pern Day. 34 to 13. The first half was an even ball game as Pern Day, using a trick play, scored the first time it had the ball. The Stags tied it up on Dave Bussjaeger's touchdown which climaxed an 80 yd drive. They then went ahead to take a slim halftime lead of 13-7 on Ed Younger’s T.D. with Bussjaeger adding the point after. But the Stags came out fighting mad in the second half and played well during the third quarter against a surprisingly tough Pern Day defense to score twice on runs of 39 and 48 yds. by Mike Murray. The P.A.T.’s were scored by Bussjaeger and Younger. The Stags scored again in the fourth quarter on a pass from Murray to Younger with Murray scoring the P.A.T to provide the finishing touches to the Homecoming weekend. Jim Grabenhorst invents new touchdown signal as Miege scores against Rosedale. Miege Over Rosedale Miege got a king-size scare as they came from behind to score and then held Rosedale for the last minute of the game on the Miege 14 yd line in taking a hard-fought 13-7 vic- tory. It looked like the Stags would make an easy game of it as they recovered a Rosedale fumble early in the first quarter and marched 40 yds. with Tom Geraghty going in for the score. But the Wildcats came back fighting and took advantage of a fumble on an attemp- ted punt and took over the ball on the Stag’s 25 yd. line. Three plays later, a twenty yd. pass from Bridges to Jackson for the T.D. with Chase scoring the P.A.T. put Rosedale ahead at half-time. Midway in the third per- iod, Miege recovered a Rosedale fumble on the mid-field stripe and moved the ball in for the score Dave Bussjaeger with some hard running, picked up the final 7 yds. and the T.D. on a fourth and goal situation. Bussjaeg- er also ran over the P.A.T. to end the scoring for the night. But Rosedale still could not be counted out as they took to the air in vain as the Stags held on while the clock ran out. Harold Metz was a standout for Miege as he made 14 tackles to lead the defense. Larry Rouse Mike J.

Miege 20 Rockhurst 0 In probably their best all-around perfor- mance of the season, the Stags marched on the Hawklets almost at will with Dave Mart- in leading the way. Miege 31 Pem Day 14 Stag stars of the future had become obvious by their last B game of the year as Miege scored four touchdowns in the last half and held the Red Raiders in check defensively. Doug Couch ____________________ unidentified Pem-Day player on Jack Weiss Stags Stomp Spartans Miege unloaded its biggest scoring barrage of the year to swamp the Sumner Spartaas 40 to 0. The Stags struck hard and fast as they scored 20 points in the first quarter and then sat back and coasted in as every man on the squad saw action. Dave Bussjaeger scored four touchdowns which broke the school single game scoring record to lead the flashy Stag offense. Also adding to the host of touchdowns were Jim Grabenhorst and Dave Lerner while P A T.s were scored by Ed Younger, Tom Geraghty. Denny Harris, and Lerner. Although the of- fense sparkled, the defense was the real high point for the Stags as it held the Spartans with area scoring leader, Rudolph Thompson, to a minus two yds. gained going into the final quarter. Dave Depping, junior end, was a standout for Miege as he blocked 2 points which helped set up touchdowns.

Immaculata I The Miegian-December 20, 1962 Published every month by the students of Bishop Miejte High school; Mission, Kansas KEEPING CHRISTMAS On Christmas day men and women all over the world put aside their daily trials and woes to celebrate the birth of our Savior. This observance of Christmas is, indeed, a wise and wholesome custom. Certainly, it turns the eyes of men away from earthly things to the more important spiritual aspects of living, but more than observing Christmas day, we learn to “keep Christmas.” For one day, can we ignore what the world owes us and consider what we owe the world; can we forget what we have done for others and think of what others have done for us; can we see our fellow men as real human beings, look beyond their faces to their hearts and souls; can we put our rights in the background, our duties to others in the foreground; can we stop complaining about the trivial wrongs of the world long enough to shed a few rays of happiness in someone else’s life? Then we can keep Christmas. Can we recall the needs of little children above our own; can we take an active interest in the comfort of the old; can we stop asking ourselves how much our friends love us, and decide if we love them enough; can we understand the desire of our family and friends without having them tell us; can we dig a grave for all of the ugly, mean thoughts long enough to plant a flourishing garden of kindness? If we can do these things for even a day, then we can keep Christmas. Can we believe that love is the strongest thing in the world-stronger than hate, jealousy, revenge? Can we believe in the blessed life which began at Bethlehem so many years ago as the image of brightness and love? Then we can keep Christmas. And if we can keep Christmas for a day, then why not always. Mary Koob Yearbook Message The yearbook sponsor, Miss Hellinger, year- book editors, Patrice Krampff and Dave Crawley, and the entire Miegian staff would like to express their thanks and appreciation to the students who worked so hard at mak- ing the Ad Campaign a success. This will en- able the staff to produce a much better year- book than was possible in former years. With this success the students have shown us that they want a better annual and that they have confidence in our ability to give them this much improved yearbook. We will try to re- pay this confidence by giving the student body the best yearbook we can.

Why? Well, last year Santa was cruising over Nikita's na- tion, but the Reds were still jumpy over the U-2 affair. Yeah, you guessed it. He was pick- ing schrapnel out of his posterior up until the Fourth of July. Oh, this is a wonderful time of the year. When the English teacher puts a sentence on the board and asks what kind of clause it contains, you can say: “Why that’s a Santa Claus.” It’s always fun to go out caroling on Christ- mas Eve. I remember last year, some real silly people invited us to their party. One man, so intoxicated that he couldn’t hit the ground with his hat, walked up to me and said, Hey kid, are you Santa Claus?” “No sir,” I,said, “but with that red nose I’ll ven- ture a guess on your identity.” The K.U. Medical Center announced that all people having surgery done on Christmas day will be gift wrapped before being opened. I have written a very touching tribute to this great time of the year. Christmas! Christmas! Christmas! Christmas! Yes, kiddies, there is a Santa Claus, but he’s not who you think he is. He’s Tom McNeil, a jolly ’62 grad who’s working at Macy’s in Mission this Christmas as Santa Claus. The children of Senora Rog- ers enjoy discussing their Christmas lists with Santa. Left to right, they are Ben- ny, Nannette, and Kelly. Santa and The Psychiatrist A New York psychiatrist recently had a very distinguished patient-an old, bearded man, grossly overweight, his corpulent little body making a definite dent in the leather couch. In order to spare the feelings of rela- tives, his entire name was witheld; he was merely called Santa X. Santa X had problems. He was losing his image as the commercial symbol of Christ- mas. His insurance company classified him as a poor risk because of his weight problem and cancelled his policy. Who would provide for Mrs. X if Santa popped his seat belt in the sleigh and fell out. The '62 model Santa was stylishly attired in subtle shades of pastel in- stead of traditional, unchic red. Children were beginning to lose their respect for Santa--after all, you can't orbit the earth in a sleigh. Santa X was also having troubles with the elves at the toy factory. Their union led by the big man with the little people, Jimmy Huffa were demanding higher wages and a 30 hour week. To avoid bankruptcy Santa was froced to moonlight during the summer. After trimming his beard he found that he could get a job as a second-rate Burl Ives. The psychiatrist diagnosed Santa’s prob- lem as--acute mental exhaustion. The only known cure was hypnosis. Santa was hypno- tised and given a new, happy, carefree ident- ity-the Easter Bunny. Ann Linton Oh, Christmas! Yes? The Last Christmas Peace on Earth Zo Men of (food Down the chimney Santa came Landing on our fireplace flame. His scream of pain stirred all in the house. Everyone came running, even the mouse. His language was atrocious as he struggled in the flame, And as we looked on he called each of us a name. We rushed to the scene and grabbed at his clothes. But my grip slipped so I yanked on his nose. We pulled and we tugged at his chubby little form. While Santa continued to cuss up a storm. We struggled and pulled but all was in vain, Santa was consumed by our fireplace flame. My plan accomplished I went happily to bed, Christmas is a humbug,” I have always said. Scrooge Walsh Will - 139 - WFCCA Sales High To raise money for a landscaping and beautification project after the new wing of the school is completed, Stags conducted an all-school cam- paign selling The World’s Finest Chocolate Covered Almonds. The goal was set at $9,000 which the students could reach if each sold his quota of 12 boxes. Advance sales orders were taken from November 28 to December 6 and returns were brought in from December 6 to 14, the last day of the campaign. Students who took advance orders for 12 containers or more were eligible for a prire drawing December 5. Winners in this drawing were: Sammy Yancey and Cindy Bristow. High sales students were permitted to pick the prize or prizes total- ing the amount of points which thev earned, the points being determined by the number of boxes of almonds sold. The homeroom selling the top amount was offered tickets to the Fox theaters, good for any show during that month. Homeroom moderators from the three top selling homerooms were offered special awards. Prizes included hair dryers, wrist watches, TV sets, transistor radios, Samonite luggage, typewriters, record players, and hi-fi’s. Susie Newbanks looks ahead to winning the Vanity Case offered to leading WFFCA salesmen. Prizes were divided into categories with varying point values; points were determined by the number of containers of almonds sold Gayle Maloney, Patti Fuchs, Elaine Hunter, and Susie Newbanks linger longingly.

These were the urgent words heard from five “medical” students at Miege. Upperclass- men, distinguished in their profession, pre- sented a skit at the opening of the chocolate sale, November 29. The skit was entitled Dr. Kilcasey. John Wisner introduced Dr. Kilcasey por- trayed by Richard Eisler, and his assisting nurse, Pat Gaughan. The patient was Buzz Buchanan who was carried to the operating table by Dave Martin and Tom Geraghty. Dr. Zorro (Rusty Scholtes), greatly perturbed at having lost his sail boat, noisily joined the group. Mary Donahoe was his assisting nurse during the “operation.” The nurses were dressed in red candy-strip- ed outfits. After the skit, Mr. Natt gave the students pointers on how to sell WFCCA most effi- ciently.

Nancy's appointment was made by Sister Marianne, home economics teacher at Miege. Selected for her qualities of leadership and her enthusiasm for home economics, Nancy will serve as junior advisor to the editors of Co-ed, national magazine for teen-age girls, and will keep them informed of activities at Miege. There are more than 2600 Co-ed Cor- respondents throughout the United States and Canada. Check A Real Threat During this last century the deadly, com- municable disease tuberculosis has been hit and hit hard. If progress had not been made at the start of the century, it is estimated that about 9,000,000 lives would have been lost. At the start of the century, 200 out of every 100,000 people who had T.B. died. Now only seven out of every 100,000 die each year. The first man to make any real noticable progress was Robert Koch, who saw the tu- bercle bacillus, the small germ that eats the live tissues in our bodies. When a tubercle bacillus is in our bodies, white blood cells form around it to fight it. A tiny lump called a tubercle is formed. That is where we get the name tuberculosis. The average age of T.B. victims is 33 that is half of the people over 33 b ve the disease and half under 33 have it. More men have the disease than women. Negroes, Indian people of Spanish descent and other races besides the whites seem to be attracted more Beverly. T.B. if found early can be cured early. It is also possible to cure if after it has spread. Anyone who has been cured of the disease is not immune to it. It is possible to catch the disease again if the germs get into your body. They enter the body by eating, breathing, kissing and by other means. T.B. can be made a sickness of the past with necessary funds. Donations to the cause through the years have brought the disease mostly under control, but much more is need- ed.

Gayle Maloney “I Left My Shoe. ” These were the famous words spoken by Kenny Shannon as the debaters entered the 18th street toll gate on a return debate trip. As the luck of the Irish would have it, Ken took off his shoes and put them by the spare tire in the back of the station wagon. What he didn’t know, was that the spare had no bottom. But luckily Ken found his shoe-- Where was it? Hanging by the heel from the bottom. So water filled, and already starting to grow “algae , his shoe was put in a paper sack and Ken hopped on one foot to the door. What was he doing in the back? It seems that the debaters decided to let the ones with the lowest speaker points have the privilege of sitting on the deck in back. Judy Soenen Merry Christmas From the Miegian Staff - 142 - We have just recently concluded our fifth football season at Miege. This season, as in the past four, we have been fortunate enough to finish with a fine record. The 7 wins and 2 losses, considering the calibre of opposition, represented one of the finest in our short his- tory. Speaking of our short history, what ha e we accomplished in football in five years? In regards to the visible accomplishments we have compiled a record of 36 wins and 9 losses. Certainly not many schools can boast of such a fine record. We have also in five years, com- pletely changed our schedule so that we are playing all AA schools. Aside from the fine won-lost record, we have gained a great deal of respect from many who looked on us as only a ‘‘little’’ school in the past. Our victories over William Chrisman and Ward this season certainly were greatly responsible for this. We, the coaches and play- ers and. I’m certain, the students and faculty, have come to expect a winning season. This is wonderful. Winning has become a way of life for all Americans. No one likes to lose in anything and no one should enjoy losing. But there is more to it than just wanting to win. Many people are getting close to the point of becoming complacent about winning. They are taking it for granted. This is true of many in our country and on a smaller scale, this is happening at Bishop Miege. This has become evident to your coaches by the small number of boys who turned out for football and stayed out during this past sea- son. This is evidenced by the small crowd of students who showed up for our homecoming football rally. Where are these people who could be helping out? Surely they enjoy win- ning and are eager to say, “We’re from Miege and couldn’t be prouder.” Winning does not come by saying or feel- ing, “We’ll let someone else do it.” Winning and success only come to those who are wil- ling to “pay the price. This includes coaches, players, students, and all connected with the school. We have had this kind o f attitude among these people in the past. It has been enjoyable fo all of us for the past few years. Let us not lose this feeling. It is important not only to us now, but it is important to all people in our country. Complacency has no place in success in religion, school work, ath- letics or any phase of life. If this attitude is developing at Miege, let us destroy it before it is too late. It can be done but only if all of us recognize it in ourselves and make an effort to eliminate it. Stags Win Opener The Miege Stags started off the basketball season on the winning road with an exciting 67 to 40 victory over the Olathe Eagles. The Stags looked like they were going to walk a- way with it by jumping to an early 19 to 6 first quarter lead behind the good shooting and rebounding of Jim Bornheimer. But the Eagles came back slowly but surely until three quick baskets off a press narrowed the margin to 7 points midway in the fourth quarter. Miege was able to stand off this late rally with the help of Bernie Bialek’s clutch free throws and won going away. Bornheimer was high scorer with 21 points. He also led in the rebounding department with 19. Bialek had 16 points and Mike Murray 6 points and 10 rebounds to aid the cause. The B-team also won its game by a 62 to 27 margin. Mike DeCoursey and Jim Shaunty were high men with 10 points each.

Even though he missed two games with an injury, Mike, a 3 year letterman and co- captain was second on the team in rushing and had a hand in 45% of the scoring for the season. Besides running and passing, he also punted and played defensive safet While ac- complishing these feats, Murray broke two school records and tied another and earned first team berths on the AU-Catholic and All-Area teams. Tom Keehn, tackle. Tom a 3 year letter- man, was one of the team’s most consistent blockers and his very presence on the field was a big asset. He broke one school re- cord and ended up second in tackles while making first team, All-Catholic and All-Area, and honor- able mention on All-State. Dave Bussjaeger, fullback. While missing one game with an injury, Dave, a 3 year let- terman, led the team in rushing and set two re- cords as the workhorse of the team this year. Be- cause of this, he was pick ed as a starter on the All- Catholic team and second unit on the All-Area team. Ron Meinert, center. Although he didn’t play as a sophomore, Ron lettered the next two years and made the first unit of the All-Cath- olic team and honorable mention on the All-Area team. While not a conspi- cuous player, Meinert was the most consistently good player and led the team in tackles for the season. Larry Rouse, end. From his strong side end position, Larry, a 3 year letterman, was re- quired to do many things, espeically in the way of blocking. Always a thinking ballplay- er, he made up for his lack of size by smart, consistent play. After making All-School- yard” 2 years, running, Larry was selected to the first unit All-Catholic team. Larry Kellerman, guard. A 2 year letter- man and co-captain, and pegged as one of the best all-around ball players, Larry led the quad with aggressive, heads up” play, both on offense and defense. He played an outstanding game against Ward on defense and would be on anyone’s “All-Hustle” team. Ed Younger, halfback. Ed, a 3 year letter- man, was valuable to the team because of his versatility which allowed him to play both halfback and fullback during each of his three years of varsity football. Ed was a fine block- er, defensive linebacker and pass receiver, as well as runner. These assets helped him to set three school records. Harold Metz, tackle. Harold, a 3 year let- terman, was one of the tougher ballplayers on the squad. He played an outstanding de- fensive game against Rosedale and had the ninth highest number of tackles for the sea- son. Dave Lerner, halfback. Dave, a regular for most of the past 3 years, was a valuable help on offense primarily because of his ability to run the hand-off, the basic offensive play. Dave was especially valuable as a sophomore when there was a definite lack of offensive backs. Jay Walsh, guard. Hurt when a junior, Jay didn’t compete in varsity competition till a senior. With his outstanding blocking, he was one of the main cogs in the offense which completely dominated the William Chris man game. Walsh, also a strong defensive player, ended up sixth in tackles for the season. Pat Kelly, halfback. Pat, who lettered as a sophomore as an offensive back, aided the team during his senior year through his kick- ing ability. He kicked off and averaged 40 yds. a kick throughout the season. George Crooks, end. Lonesome George” should be a model to the non-playing fellows ot the stuoent body. Having never played football before this year, George came out, and through his hard work, aggressive play, and “never-say-die” attitude not only made the squad and won a letter, but also earned much respect from his fellow players. George’s only comment to all this is, I wish I would've come out sooner.” Normile Places Pat Normile, junior, placed 14th out of 90 runners at the State Cross Country Meet held in Emporia. His timing was 10 minutes, 13 seconds for 2 miles over hilly country. Pat qualified at the regional qualifying meet at Shaw- nee Mission East. Mr. Zimola, track coach, went with Pat to Em- poria. Blue Defeats Red In Intra-Squad Game The annual intra-squad game of the Miege basketball team was held Saturday, Decem- ber 1, in the St. Agnes gym. The Blue team led by Mike J. Murray defeated the Red team, 62-40. The Blue team, led throughout the game with Murray, Jim Bones” Bornheimer, and Bernie Pumpkin Bialek doing most of the scoring. Murray scored 15 points for high - 144 - SPORTS i { SHORTS Now that the football season is over, what can “they” do to me except flunk me out of school. So here are some of my invaluable ob- servations on the sports scene. Dave Bussjaeger finally accomplished the impossible. He wore the same pair of sox through all four years of football. Congratu- lations on a job well done. For the third consecutive year the record for the most tape used in one season has been broken. This was done without the services of last year’s individual record holder-youre truly- who used tape only on the days that pictures were taken; sympathy, you know. A contributing factor in the Ward victory was Tom Keehn's beard. It was reported that the Ward tackle who played opposite Tom was taken to the hospital after the game for lacerations of the face. Dave Lerner played the Ward game even after Mr. Byard told him his “friend” could not suit up. It has been suggest that Ron Meinert be brought back next year to narrate the films; he did such a good job of it this year. “Freckles Walsh and Harold Horrible Hairy” Metz have decided to start an all team of their own. It’s a good thing the football season ended when it did. A certain young gentleman noted for his eating ability was growing laterly out of his uniform. Couple of chefs, please! A couple of chicken coaches would not sub- mit to the customary shower after the Ward game and almost ran down some players who tried to stop them. I won’t mention any names, but their initials are R.B. and R.F. Remem- ber coaches, we have not begun to fight! The seniors of the basketball team are car- rying on the tradition of the Filthy Four- teen.” These Septic Seven have done a very fine job of redecorating the pit”. Thanks to the freshmen class for the mixer which they sponsored for the football team. A vote was taken by Tom Dwyer and Dave Depping, a couple of the more modest jun- iore, and it was decided that this should be an annual affair. Now aren’t you mad at yourself for reading this stupid column when you should have been doing your lessons? Larry Rouse point honors. Finishing out the scoring for the Blue were: Bialek-12, Bornheimer-14, Ger- ling-8, Rollert-7, Shaunty-5, Watkins-5.

Kansas Query Essay - 1st Place - Ann Sexton, junior Long after the firetrucks had left, the mob remained on the watersoak- ed lawn, walking around and through the smoking house like ants crawling all over a discarded, half-eaten jelly sandwich. One little girl, vigorously ruminating her chewing gum, was trying to get her mother’s attention. “Why are those people throwing mud at the family whose house burned down?” “I’ll tell you why. What kind of gum do you have in your big mouth?” “ Doublemint.” “Why doublemint?” “I don’t know- I always have.” That’s just it. We respectable people chew doublemint. They chew spearmint.” “But they’re still people, aren’t they?” Her mother was too busy throwing mud to hear her daughter’s last remark. Meanwhile, in a shopping center, a doublemint lady was talking to her neighbor. “Why can’t those spearmint folks stay in their own part of town? We give them nice schools and swimming pools of their own, why can’t they be satisfied? Her neighbor shook her head and let a doublemint wrapper drift silently to the sidewalk. As they continued talking, they passed a res- taurant where a sign in the window said, “Spearminters served here.” Later that night, teenage gangs painted spears (or were they arrows?) on the walls of churches and synagogues. A group of citizens with sacks on their heads carried burning spears while marching around the mayor’s house. At the polls, anyone whose breath reeked of spearmint was forced to take an intelligence test before they could register to vote. Then there was the question of whether or not those who passed would try to return on election day. Gum became the major political issue. Some spearmint politicians pro- posed that legislation be passed that prohibited the sale of doublemint, thereby forcing everyone to chew spearmint. Theoretically, this would erase the gum line that separated the people. Staunch doublemint leaders coined the slogan, “Doublemint or nothing!” Preachers quoted the Bible and pounded their pulpits, and congress- men quoted the Declaration of Independence and pounded their podiums. Provocative pamphlets were passed out on street corners and fiery editor- ials were printed on the other side of the funnies’ page. Across the nation, children kept asking, “But they’re still people, aren’t they?” Their parents were either busy putting sacks on their heads and marinating spears (some called them arrows) with lighter fluid, or sol- emnly answering, “Because they’re different.” Foetry - 3rd place - Larry Viene, freshman A thousand waves have kissed the lonesome shore; The golden sands will see a thousand more. The white tipped breakers have beat the sunning rocks, Surging in with the precision of clocks. Many ships have floundered off this coast One more vessel for the sea to boast. No ravening vultures here do fly, For the sea retains those who die. The glimmering waves hold a magic on me, Beckoning me forth to perish at sea.

Take heed! - 148 - Short Story-First Place-Patrice Krampff, senior Mark rubbed his eyes with his gloved fingers and looked again. Yes, he thought, the light had come on in the room across the alley. He rested his hand lightly on the dirty half-broken pane before him as he watch- ed the shade being raised and the window pulled up. The man who raised that window stood framed in it for five seconds, peering out, and then turned, almost blotting out the light with his broad body. From this short distance Mark had caught the gleam from his glasses as the man turned Mark stepped back from the window and lit a cigarette with shaking fingers. With his right hand he drew out the revolver from his coat pocket and fitted the silencer to it. He held his wrist up to the small stream of moonlight and strained his eyes to read the figures on the watch. Ten minutes. That was what they had agreed upon. His brain jerked forward with short choppy thoughts and he shuffled his feet slightly to bring some feeling of reality back into this room. He looked at his watch again. The ten minutes were up—time enough for the heavy man to have left that room. Mark raised the gun and stepped cautious- ly back in front of the window. He glanced down the three floors to the deserted alley and threw out his half-smoked cigarette. It fell silently into that black cavern, leaving a small glowing trail. The only other light came from the room across from him. The girl moved in front of the window now. Mark drew in his breath sharply. She started to lower the window—just as he knew she would, for the night was cold. Her face was obscured by the half-drawn shade but he still had a clear target. He sighted, and fired. It seemed strange to him to watch her slowly crumple, dragging the shade she had clutched down with her. No noise had penetrated the icy stillness of the night. Mark turned slowly from the window and pocketed the gun and left the warehouse—deserted again, as before his deadly intrusion. He woke slowly and reluctantly the next morn- ing He knew what was waiting for him-a shabby room and shabby memories. As he rose from the bed he glanced at himself in the cracked mirror and tried to remember what had really happened. His mind was fuzzy and his mouth was dry with an unpleasant taste. He tried to rinse it away with whiskey but it wouldn’t go- He searched his face in the mirror-it was a young face but aging rapidly. He remembered so many things now- the once-brilliant future, the gambling, the drink- ing. He remembered most of all, the hurt look in Ann's eyes when he had postponed the wedding for the sec- ond time a week ago. How could he explain to her that it was because of gambling debts. He had been des- perate then—desperate enough to do anything. As he poured himself another drink he remember- ed the dim bar and the fat little man with small eyes distorted by thick glasses—the quiet little man he had seen twice last night. The first time had been in that bar when he had given Mark his last instructions on how to kill the girl. Mark remembered well the soft high voice and the hardness behind it—the soft little man who plotted his own niece’s murder to collect her insurance. He had seen the man the second time in that girl’s window. Mark shook his head to try and rid it of these pic- tures—the pictures that came crowding back. He tried to think of the ten thousand dollars that would pay his debts and start Ann and him on a new life in an- other city. He would erase that hurt look from Ann’s eyes. It would never come back again. He dressed hurriedly. In two hours he would be ten thousand dollars richer and on his way to a new life—the phrase kept repeating itself over and over. He tried to concentrate on it as he locked his door and went down to the street The rain that had started was slapped against his face by the wind. He began to feel more and more like an actor in some sordid drama as he walked quickly down the street. His steps slowed as he drew even with the corner newsstand. Something drew him over to the papers. A murderer’s morbid cur- iosity, he thought, as he bought a paper. He had a strange desire to know if she had been found—to know what she looked like. His eyes roved quickly over the front page. As he turned the page he saw the story and the picture. Mark stood stolidly for one long minute, unheed- ing the crowds pushing by him. The paper slipped from his hands and his fingers gouged his eyes-trying to rid them of the picture that only pressed more deeply into his brain. Ann’s face burned before him-- just as it had appeared in the photograph. - 149 - Short Story - Second Place - Mary McLoughlin, sophomore Meet Mike Murdock. He is in his cell. He is thinking: “Tomorrow I die for a crime I didn’t commit. If only I could have convinced the jury the gun went off accidentally, when I sneezed. My last hope is the sole eye- witness, but he has disappeared. If only he could be found.” Much the same thought was running through the mind of Bruce Carson, Mike’s lawyer. His thoughts went back to the events of the evening of January 24, 1960. The place of the crime - Mike’s New York penthouse. It had been around eleven that evening when Mike had heard a knock on the door. He turned the Hi-fi down and opened the door to a complete stranger. “I’m Roger Knight,” the stranger said. “I occupy the apartment right below you. I just moved in a day or two ago and I heard the Hi-fi. So I thought if you weren’t busy I might introduce myself.” Mike invited him in. He offered him a Martini and they sat down to talk. By the time twelve-thirty rolled around, the conversation had turned to revolvers. Mike went to his room and brought back a German Lueger of which he was very proud. He handed it to Roger to see. Roger looked it over and stated what a fine gun he thought it was. Then another knock was heard at the door. It was A1 Foley from the next door apartment. Mike invited A1 to join the party. A1 said he could only stay a moment, but he sat down anyway. Mike introduced Roger to Al. Then Roger handed the revolver back to Mike, and at that precise moment Mike started to sneeze. As he sneezed, his finger hit the trigger, and the gun went off accidentally. As fate would have it, the bullet pierced the heart of Roger Knight, bringing his life to an end. Mike, realizing what had happened, recovered from his startled daze and ran to the bedroom to phone for an ambulance. When he returned a few seconds later, Al was gone. Mike ran next door to see if Al was in his apartment, but Al wasn’t anywhere to be found. Soon the ambulance arrived and along with it, inevitably, the police. The police gathered enough facts to think in other terms than those of an accident. Mike was put on trial for the murder of Roger Knight, found guilty, and sentenced to death in the electric chair. As Bruce Carson sat in his office thinking of these events in the life of his client, he realized that Mike Murdock had only a short time to live. How utterly ridiculous it was that a man should be electrocuted because of a simple human function - sneez- ing. He believed Mike’s story. It sounded so impossible! That is the reason he be- lieved it so ardently. Only fate could explain why Mike had sneezed at the exact time that he did. Bruce had been hunting for Al Foley ever since that night two years ago. Only Al could clear Mike, and time was running out. Bruce decided to go through the police files once more to see if he could find a lead on Al. He had searched the files thoroughly before, but his efforts had been fruitless. He had questioned neighbors and relatives and had even sent out a missing persons bulletin, but all led up a blind alley. Bruce reached the police station in about ten minutes, four cups of black coffee later. He finally found something in a newspaper clipping that was on file. It was the name of Al’s old war-time buddy. It was only a chance, but after two years Al might have sought help from his best friend. Bruce copied down the address, and the next morning he set out to find it. The house was vacant. Another fruitless search! Bruce was so disappointed that he felt like crying Bruce was lying on his bed. It was exactly 4 AM, one hour before Mike would be executed. He felt that he had failed as a lawyer. An innocent man would die be- cause of his inability to find Al Foley. He heard someone at the door and dragged himself out of bed, not really caring who was there. He opened the door. “I’m Al,” a voice said from the dark hall. “You’re Al?” Bruce exclaimed. “Come in. Tell me quickly exactly what happen- ed on the night of January 24.” Al’s story was an exact duplicate of Mike’s story. Apparently the word had spread that Bruce was still searching for Al. Al could bear his conscience no longer. (continued on page 8) CLl F pofcO - 150 It is a quiet night, as all nights are quiet here. The silence is deep, deep and pervading. When you come into the Eastern sector you feel it clutch at some- thing inside you. Even in the busy daytime, the noises of the buses and people in the streets are as clanks in a great, hollow room. If you brought all the clamor of a Marxist rally in Red Square here, there would still be the silence. For the silence is not an absence of sound, but an absence of thought, of will, of freedom; the silence is the silence of hearts and minds and souls. The silence is a deep, heavy fog rolling on and in, hushing, squelching, trapping everyone it reaches. You have reached it now. This is the world of silence. This is East Berlin. A thought trickled in. Not—The stars are there- but—Why am 1 looking at the stars? Why . . . why . . . that professor at the University he’d attended be- fore the clamp on communications, was always telling them that why was the definition of philosophy and the initiation of thought... Thought! 1 haven't thought since . . .since about a month after Jeanie and Miki left—to stay in West Berlin. I guess no one thinks here. It isn’t safe . . . for your own sanity. What have I been doing these eight interminable months?-Working at the factory, eating, sleeping, working at the factory. A strange factory, this one . . . full of machines . . . and I’m one . . . I’m one! The realization spread like a slow dawn that begins with a tinge of light and ends in a g o i Sy m - - T ri ■lr n Zhe Silent flight - Diane Lusk, freshman Short Story - Third Place A figure walks in the darkness and the silence. He is a young, blonde, blue-eyed German, wrapped snugly, in a light, thin, black overcoat. His footsteps on the pavement have neither a military ring nor the soft shuffling of a stroller, only a mechanical, regulated step. Emerging from the shadows of a side street into the starlight, he pauses, stops, and leans back against the brick wall of a building-a building that faces west. This is the far end, the western end, the dangerous end of East Berlin. The wall is there. He does not look at it, but he knows it is there, he can feel it. The wall for East Germany is not just a fence, it is a feeling, a knowledge, a shadow. It does not only go through Ber- lin but through the inside of a people. The young German, Dierk, faces the sky. He does not look at the stars or gaze at them or even stare through them. He only sees them, knows that they are there, mechanically. He does not have to think, he does not want to think. The light of the stars travels through millions and millions and millions of miles, pervades the cosmic dust, and soaks into the atmosphere. Each barrier re- ceives the imprinting of its light. The light saturates it and the barrier becomes the transmitter of the mes- sage. The light of the stars that had come so many miles to him finally beamed through and kept pushing until it soaked through the blank gloom of his empty mind into his consciousness. blaze of color and a fury of brightness. It came as a ball rolling down a hill . . . gently at first and then with increasing speed . . . tumbling over and over and crashing against the side of the house when it reaches the bottom .... I’m one! I’m a machine just like those I make and those I work with. .... No, 1 am not a machine. 1 am a man With those words Dierk joined the ranks of the free. He would never again be enslaved. For when the spirit is free the man is never held. Wherever he lived he would live as a man should. Gooood Gott! as his father used to say. Good Gott! Now I know how to live. I know how to live because I have died, I have known worse than death. “It is nothing to die, it is frightful not to live.” An existence without meaning, without reason, without hope—could this be better than death? At the beginning he used to think so. That is why he had not tried to escape the wall—so many were getting killed. How he had wanted to join Jeanie, that angel he had married only a year when he had made her leave for safety before the gates closed. And Miki—he must be almost nine months old now. How the thought of them filled him, warmed him. He would see them again, he must. Oh to hold the babe and the mother in his arms! The hope of a joy like that after months of dull, drab, mechanical living in the world of atomatons. Could I really feel anything again? It had been so long, there had been only the numbness. - 151 - Hope-what right had he to hope? What had changed since he began that night? Dierk tried to smother the hope and stop it, but he couldn't, and was glad. Only a free man can hope. He was free and he knew it now. The hope would keep him alive. Without freedom there is no hope Can a man live without hope? His hope would be his freedom, his life, his torch in the world of silence. Dierk had not taken his eyes off the stars, a cer- tain dizzily bright one especially. The star was not where it was before, it used to be closer to that blue one. Dierk didn't really notice, only gazed and followed the star with his eyes as his thoughts wandered A strange night. Very silent, except for the foot- steps of the Vopo walking, gun in hand, back and forth beside the wall. Their scrapings echoed in the night. But the silence was a diffefent silence now-not empty any more but full, filled with the thoughts of a young man and the light of the star. This night, this night that had saved him, re- deemed him, given him back his soul-what night was it? He hadn't paid much attention to keeping track of the days lately—it hadn’t mattered—but now it did.... It is December . . .December 24th . . . Christmas Eve, isn’t it? I am a man. I am a man—simple words without particular sense to the free or the comfortable. But to the dispairing, the hopeless, the enslaved—what a cor- onation! Why is it so great to be a man? Why did the thought made such a difference to him? What is the difference between a man and a robot? Is it ... is it maybe these thoughts . . . this night . . is it Christ- mas? God-Made-Man in a little Babe . . . this joining of wisdom and peace and love . . . and tremendous love . . . in a tiny body just like Miki’s . . . Did this make the difference? Oh, Yes!—he smiled at the star joyfully and for some reason gratefully. But the star was no longer in the sky. He was smiling out into the distance across not a million mil- lion miles but across the street. The light was there glowing and magnetically drawing Dierk to it. Across the street was West Berlin, across the street beyond the wall, across the street was so near and yet so far. But Dierk was not aware of this. He was not aware that the footsteps of the Vopo had stopped and there was only the silence—the pure, sweet, heavenly silence, full of unheard song. He only thought—The star has come halfway to me ... I must go the other half. He was irresistibly drawn to it. Stepping forward to the light in a trance, he walked faster and faster. No one stopped him. He did not even think of that . . . only of the light. The light had penetrated the hardest wall, the inner wall. Now he had walked through the outer wall—simply, easily, unconsciously, in reaching for the light. Two walls passed, two free- doms his. But Dierk did not think of this . . . only of the light. He was running now. His feet beat the pave- ment, his heart pounded in his throat. He could see the center of the brightness! A mother and a babe were standing there in the glow. He ran to them and took them in his arms and held them close to his heart. Accidents Will Happen (continued from page 6) Why had he hidden in the first place? The usual - fear of being connected with the crime. Suddenly it dawned on Bruce that he had only a few minutes, five to be exact, to get a reprieve from the governor. It was 4:55. In five minutes it would be too late. Bruce immediately called the governor and explained that he had found the missing eye-witness, and that A1 would testify that Mike had sneezed and that the whole incident had been an accident. The governor said that he would call the ward- en right away Meanwhile, in his cell, Mike heard two guards walking down the corridor. The keys rattled as they opened the cell door. They escorted Mike down the long, dark, forbidding halls. He entered a small room. One guard strapped him to the chair. There were t wenty seconds left when the phone rang. The warden grabbed for the receiver. Fifteen seconds! This is the governor.” Ten seconds! The eye-witness, A1 Foley, has been found.” Five seconds! Guard! Don’t pull that switch,” the warden screamed. The guard’s hand touched the switch. The smallest bit of pressure would turn it on. Suddenly the guard's nose began to itch. He felt like he was going to sneeze. “KACHOO!” Mike Murdock was dead.

Debaters Sparkle At District Six Miege debaters; John Koetting, John Wisner, Fat Stiles, David Chaffee, Jim Ad- amson, and Mary Ann Manuel carried Miege to third place in the Northeast Kansas Dis- trict Debate Tournament held at Wyan- dotte High School. The six novices faced the most experienced and finest debaters in the area at the tourney held on January 12 and 13. The number one four man team consisted of John Koetting and John Wisner on the affirmative, and Fat Stiles and David Chaf- fee debating the negative viewpoint. The affirmative compiled five victories and three losses while the negative won six and lost two. Jim Adamson and Mary Ann Manuel acted as alternates and time keepers. The tournament was so arranged that 11 schools met one another on both sides of l he question, Resolved: That The United States of America Should Adopt A Policy Of Reciprocal Free Trade With Non-Com- munist Nations.

John Koetting Junior Scores High In Literary Contest “1 wish 1 could do that all the time in forty minutes,” Janean Hamden, junior, re- plied as she was handed her twenty dollar check. It all happened so suddenly. We were sitting in English class when Sr. Greg- ory started reading the letter that announc- ed my winning. 1 never thought something like this would ever happen to me. Twenty dollars is what Janean received when her poem Sand won first place in the literary contest sponsored by the East- ern Kansas Register on December 21. It al- so appeared in the Christmas edition of the Kansas City Star. When asked where she got the idea to write her poem, Janean said that last year she read G. K Chesterton's poem the Don- key” and decided she wanted to try to make a comparison, putting it to the theme of Christmas. Janean had plans for spending the money, but since her parents had different ideas she now has twenty more dollars in her sav- ings account! Janice Armenta Miege debaters Mary Ann Manuel, Fat Stiles, David Chaffee, Jim Adamson, John Koetting, and John Wisner take third place. Mr. Leo Stueve Speakers’ Bureau Sponsored by K of C Teachers at Miege have taken advantage of a Speakers’ Bureau which was organized for the school with the help of Mr. Richard O’Dowd and sponsored by the John Roe Council of the Knights of Columbus. New students in Sister Immaculata’s 6th hour journalism class were given the basic- facts and ideas on how to write a news story for the “Miegian . Rich Michalski, the edi- tor of the Rockhurst College Hawk,” and Steve Dunphy, Associate editor emphasized the power of journalism and the approach a reporter takes in getting a story. Mr. John Doohan, of the Kansas City Star,” pointed out the main working centers on a large newspaper. Sister Georgetla’s sophomore homeroom 4B, in accordance with the Student Coun- cil's wish for the formation of homeroom committees, had Mr. Carl Shoff, the public relations manager for the Kansas City As speak to them. To make the speech more enjoyable, the boys were offered 2 tickets to the first A’s game for the best summa- rization. Sister Anna's homeroom also at- tended. Sister Fhilip's General Business classes invited Mr. Robert Clyne and Mr. Eugene Bender of Farmers Mutual, to explain the different'functions of insurance companies.

Karol Kempsler Semester Sickness In this age of convertibles, basketball games, parlies, coke breaks, no-doze, and what have you, semester exam week can prove to be detrimental to the health of even the best of the teen age set. The basis for this extreme fatigue stems back to some time before the actual test date. It could begin a week or even two weeks before the exam. It usually begins The Thinker in action.

The purpose of this extra burden is usually stated by teachers as being a means of completing the required amount of study for the initial semester. But to the student its purpose is one of greater consequence. He begins to show signs of the strain on the day following the unearthy assignment. This is due to prolonged study after the witching hour. As zero” day approaches, numerous teachers begin to distribute their favorite devices for the promotion of headaches-the review sheet. It stimulates the anxiety of the coming tests, not to mention what it does to the little A's and B’s who are grop- ing rapidly toward the stomach. Then it happens. The words, May 1 have your attention, please echo loudly over the inter-com. The test schedule has reached the ears of hundreds of panic-stricken students. It is the signal for the No-Doz set to take action, and they do. Gayle Maloney Miege Students Represent Teenagers Two Miege students, Mike Grady and John Wisner, spoke at the St. John the Bap- tist P.T.0. meeting, January 14, on the sub- ject of High School Youth. Monsignor Charles Stimac extended an invitation to Mike and Rusty Scholtes to speak af the F.T.O. meeting after hearing them speak earlier on the teen-agers philo- sophy at the Catholic Lay Conference. (Rus- ty was ill at the time of the F.T.O. meet- ing� . Members of the conference asked Father Sullivan to give a talk on teen-agers but Father thought the teens could speak for themselves. During the meeting Mike was asked what he thought particularly irritated the youths of today. Mike answered that the statement, We just can’t understand you, was the most irritating thing parents could say He went on to say that parents went through the same thing, yet they treat us like freaks or something. When John was asked about teen-agers’ morals, he replied that while adults tell us to do one thing they do just the other! He said, In magazines, streets, and on mar- quees we see immorality in the adult world.” John said that in his opinion, “What we need is one adult generation to say, 'This is right and this is wrong--and this is the way we do it’. Fat Ruckh ■ 154 - Bill Snyder, Tom Keehn, and Rick Wal- sh study, glue, and examine their sure winners for Home Show Contest. Five Miegians Enter Macbeth Goeth Home Show Contest Modern!?! Five Miege students are entering their model homes in the Tenth Annual Model Home Contest sponsored by the Home Build- ers Association. Tom Keehn, John Koetting, John Reidel- bach, Bill Snyder, and Rick Walsh have been working on their models since the early part of the school year and are now work- ing feverishly to complete their homes for the March 28 deadline. The local winners will share in $400 in cash awards plus trophies for the school. The first place winner will then send his entry to the Nationals to be held in Chi- cago. To build a model home the student must first draw a detailed set of working plans from which he constructs the walls and roof of the house. The roof is removable so that the contest judges can note the intricate in- terior work. The houses, built to specifications, are completely landscaped and furnished. Mr. Zimola, the sponsor, has helped the students over the many rough spots in the building of their projects and has this to say about this year’s entries, “They are un- doubtedly the finest ever presented by Miege.” Bill Snyder All is quiet on the top floor of the new addition This somber silence is permeated with the hit record of “Let’s Go” by the Routers. The sound emanated from Sister Immaculata s English Room 238 where a parody on Macbeth was presented. It was a tape recorded version by the Immaculata Players consisting of John Koet- ting, John Reidelbach, and two alumni, Bob Koetting and Bernard Hugo. This parody was played in all of Sister's classes. It was an updated version of the witches' prophecies to Macbeth. The production lasted twelve minutes, but required five hours to produce and ap- proximately a week to write. It included thirty-five rock ’n roll records and various lead-ins taken from the radio. The records ranged from Golden Goodies like “Short Shorts” and “Alley Oop,” to re- cent hits such as “Telstar” and “Half Heav- en-Half Heartache.” A typical line taken from the recording is, Macbeth leaves to do battle with Ban- quo Goldwater armed with his 45 caliber sword,” from “St. George and the Dragonet” by Stan Freberg. As the recording faded out a new era in educational theories began. John Reidelbach Spring Festival Unfolds at Miege Miege is rapidly nearing its first play or musical production in five years. This play, to be entitled My Ego and I, is being plan- ned by Sister Roberta for an April 19 and 20 showing. The play is an original musical with the parts written by the actors them- selves. Pat Stiles has been named student director of the extravaganza. Rusty Schol- tes has been given the lead role of Walter Mitty. The play centers about a meek little man relating his life to a psychiatrist. As the play progresses the audience is transported from Indian raids in the Old West to a snake charmer in the Near East. The play fea- tures songs, dancing, and hilarious dialogue. This play will be the first presented on the stage of the new gymnasium. Much work has gone into My Ego and I to make it one of the finest productions presented by a high school group. The showers must be full. Won’t Mr. Clark be surprised?! - 155 - Trudy Brewer, Teresa Obermeier and Carolyn Ketter won the intramural table-tennis and shullleboard championship trophy.

Grothaus is Homemaker of To- morrow for Miege in the 1963 Betty Crock- er Search for the American Homemaker of Tomorrow. Having achieved the highest score in a knowledge and attitude test given senior girls December 4, she is now eligible, along with winners in other state high schools, lor the title of state Homemaker of Tomorrow. The stale Homemaker of Tomorrow is awarded a $1,500 scholarship by General Mills, sponsor ol the program. The runner- up receives a $500 scholarship. The school ol each state Homemaker of Tomorrow is awarded a complete set of Encyclopedia Britannica. Basis for selection of local and state win- ners is a test prepared and scored by Science Research Associates, Chicago. Personal ob- servation interviews are added lactors in de- termining national winners. The 1963 Betty Crocker Search reached another all-lime high in enrollment, with 410,466 girls in 12,964 schools participating. In the program’s nine years, nearly three million girls have been enrolled . Joyce Hoffmann Wizard in Math One of the freshmen who is adding to the luster of Miege is Mariella Celletti, A stu- dent in Sister Dolores’s Algebra 1 class, she has made on original contribution to math. The freshmen have learned a new and handy way to multiply by 9 on their fingers. Suppose you wish to multiply 8 by 9. By placing your hands palms down on a table and bending the eighth finger, you have the product -- seven fingers to the left of the bent finger, two fingers to its right, or 72. When multiplying a two-digit number by 9 such as 46, you start by bending the sixth finger for the 6. Then count off the first four fingers for the 4. Your fingers are then in three groups, the first four, the thumb that is left alone, and the last four. Therefore the product is 414 In the book it states that 22, 33, 44, and so on, cannot be multiplied in this method. But Mariella has found a way that it can be done. When multiplying 33 by 9 you bend the third finger from the left. The fingers to the right are in the units place, then sup- ply a 9 for the bent finger which goes in the tens place. The fingers to the left are in the hundreds place. The product is then 297. Upperclassmen! Look to your laurels. The faculty and students of Miege extend their sympathy to Melinda Lohr, (iloria Lynch, and Elizabeth Sauer on the death of their fathers. - 156 - Frosh Take Trophies Several girls from Miss Chervino’s Phys.

The girls, of which there are one hundred thirty-two, successfully completed the American Red Cross Standard First Aid Course. They completed the course on De- cember 17, after a series of thirty-five ses- sions of instruction from Miss Chervino. In order to be eligible for certification the girls were required to do satisfactory work in both subject matter and practical skills. Music vs. “Music” Freshmen!

I don’t care if your name is Mike Ferrari, get your crutch off my foot. Rumor has it that the Junior class is devot- ing all of their time and effort in making this year's Prom the best Miege has ever had — how nice. Senior boys seem to have an unusual knack for losing their class rings. Funny Deal! Question: Who’s going to see the spring play if everyone is going to be in it? It seems that encyclopedia and publishing companies are copying from the Senior term papers. After all the planning and consideration Coach Schmideler has contributed to the new auditorium there is still one problem he has not solved-—the collection of shoes at the gym door. Mr. Lazzo has been wondering what the “plublic” opinion will be of Miege's new ad- dition. Some of the Miege Seniors have adopted a new slogan “West-ward Ho!” Flash--Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ships at sea - it has been decreed that....

Martha appeared on the performance on December 6, 1962 as an auctioneer. She learned her trade from her dad who owns the Missouri Auction School She was guessed as the real auctioneer by three of the four panelists but she still re- ceived $100 that was split between the three contestants equally. Recently Martha has been the auctioneer for many school and church charities. Larry Quirk - 157- ODD 'N ENDS by Rusty Scholtes Every red blooded American boy has an idol- someone whom he looks up to. In my case, Robert Frazier (Dean of Boys-our man in the administration) is such an idol. I wanted to follow in his footsteps. But just waiting for him to ask me if 1 wanted to be “Dean for a Day” didn’t work. So with no other course left open to me, 1 decided to run for the office of the dean in the second semester. Mr. Frazier noticed me campaigning a- round the school; and not wanting this grand institution of learning to have a green dean,’’ he offered to take me under his wing (his hair may be red, folks; but his heart is solid gold). This wonderful man made me assistant dean, and is now show- ing me the ropes. The Dean said that he is going to see that I get a scholarship to the Big Daddy School of Deanolgy in Numblimegsoga, Florida (just ninety minutes from downtown Havana). You see, Mr. Frazier did not have the op- portunity to study Deanolgy when he at- tended St. Benedict’s. In my opinion, Mr. Robert Frazier’s name will go down in history with those of George Washington, Griffon Gumbody, Harvey Keck, and all other great men of their time. • • • • A work of thanks to Mr. Patrick Dalton, who as an Army reservist, trained our sen- ior boys to be tough fighting machines, when the Cuban situation arose. “General Dalton (rank bestowed on him by his troops) show- ed us the fundamentals of dirty combat.

Don Gerling. Miege Takes Catholic League Tourney Miege rolled up three victories in the Cath- olic League Christmas tournament to length- en its current winning streak to four straight triumphs. Miege dumped Lillis 68-53 in the opening round, fought off a comeback bid by De La Salle for a 52-46 victory in the semi-finals, and trounced top-seated Hogan by 21-points 65-44 for the championship. Miege played brilliantly in the opening round and easily defeated Lillis with Jim Bornheimer leading all scorers with 15 points. For the Stags Mike Murray and Mike Ferrari each scored 14 points, while Don Gerling hit 10. Mike Murray played an ex- cellent defensive game holding Dave Childs, Lillis offensive star who scored 44 points in his last outing to eight points I ed by Bernie Bialek and Don Gerling the Miege fast break easily subdued the outmanned Irish squad. In the semi-finals against a strong, second seated De La Salle, Miege jumped off to a 15 point lead early in the second quarter after having fallen behind 8-3 in the open- ing minutes. But then as halftime neared De La Salle outscored Miege 19- 1 and cut the Stag lead to only 2 points at intermis- sion. The third quarter was about even as neither team could gain the upper hand. Then with 5:40 remaining in the contest and Miege trailing by 1, 44-43, Don Gerling zeroed in two jumpers to give Miege the lead that it lenghtened to six as the final buzzer sounded. Bernie Bialek led the Stags with 15 points. Also scoring in double figures were Jim Bornheimer with 12 points, and Don Gerling (.allied with 10. Bernie Bialek came through with three of the final points in the closing seconds as the Miege stall again became active to preserve the win. Mike Murray played a strong game rebounding with 8, as he helped Jim Bornheimer and Mike Ferrari control the boards for Miege. Miege moved into the finals and took an easy 65-44 victory over top-seated Hogan. Miege led throughout the game and com- piled its biggest lead as the game ended. Mike Murray and Mike Ferrari led the Stags with 17 points apiece. Most of Ferrari’s points coming on free throws as he tossed in 11-14 from the ch irity line. Murray and Bialek led Miege blit ing fast break that re- peated scored on the overpowered Rams. Jim Bornheimer turned in a fine game re- bounding to go with his 15 points. Bernie also played very well scoring 8 points as the team leader on the floor. Don Gerling round- ed out the scoring with 6 points. With this win Miege adds a new trophy to the case and the Catholic League tournament Don “Foot’’ Gerling Dave Lerner ducks off Albert Buford s left jab in an exhibition match put on dur- ing the preliminaries to the Tournament of Champions or better known as the Golden Gloves. Dave has fought in the Golden Gloves before and will be fighting again this year. The Tournament will begin Feb. 12, at Municipal Auditorium and will continue through Feb. 13 and Feb 14. Track Shows Promise With the opening of practice February 18, this year’s illustrious track team, coach- ed by Mr. Zimola, shows promise of turn- ing out an outstanding record. With ten re- turning lettermen and many hard-working under and upperclassmen, records are sure to be broken. This year’s freshman team looks toward six meets; the B-Team has four; while the Varsity will participate in eight meets fol- lowed by the Regional and State track meets. Mike Bader Stags Stall Van Horn The Bishop Miege Stags, on a pair of free throws by Bernie Bialek and a soft hook by Mike Ferrari, clinched a hard fought win over a spirited Van Horn team to start the holidays for Miege. The Stags, trailing by three at intermission, came on strong in the second half to capture the victory. Jim Bom- heimer and Mike Murray led the Stags in scoring with 26 and 15 points respectively. With Mike Ferrari as the middle man. Miege employed an icy stall with three min- utes remaining in the game to preserve a slim three point lead. The Stag “freeze” was as startingly new as it was effective with Don Gerling, Bernie Bialek, Mike Murray, and Jim Bornheimer just tossing the hall back and forth with each other via Ferrari who was positioned near the free throw line. This win evened the Stags record at 2 wins and 2 losses as Miege polished up for the Catholic League Christmas Tournament. The B-team set the winning wav with a 53 to 36 win. Top scorers were Welch with 13 and Krau with 12. Lerner, Future Champ - 159 - Monsignor Koch tosses the ball at the first game in Miege’s new gym. Stags Seize Victory From Pius Warriors There wasn't a musical instrument in sight, but the muted sound of Doug Rol- lert’s free throw swishing through the cords was music to the ears of more than 1500 fans at Miege’s first game in their new gym. Rol- lert’s bucket was the first point scored by Miege in the gym and the first of 72 markers flashed on the scoreboard for the Stags. Visiting St. Pius X was on the short of the 72-47 count. Monsignor Koch threw the first ball on a mock center jump and was presented the new game ball by Coach Schmiedeler. Pius kept the game close for eight min- utes as they trailed after the first quarter by only two points, but a 25 point splurge by Miege in the second quarter sealed the Warriors' doom. Surprise starter Jim Shaunty and guard Bernie Bialek were the only other Stags in double figures with 12 and 11 points, re- spectively. Doug Couch Ward Rolls To Win With complete board domination and ac- curate shooting. Ward put on an awesome display of power that left Miege a 73-44 los- er in its wake. The Cyclones had control of the game from the early minutes and placed four men in double figures. Mike Murray and Jim Bornheimer paced the Stags with 16 and 11 respectively while Bernie Bialek and Doug Rollert had 9 each. The B-leam also was defeated by a score of 58-35. Mike Decoursey had 10 and John- ny Welsh 8 to top the scores. Larry Rouse Stags Fall to Hayden The Miege Stags dropped their second game of the year to a fast-breaking Hayden team. Miege led at halftime 34-32 but could not keep pace and finally lost 69-55. Mike Murray led the Stags with 23 points and played very well. Jim Bornheim- er and Bernie Bialek scored 14 and 9 points respectively, while Mike Ferrari tossed in 7 points, hitting 5 for 5 from the free throw line. This loss drops Miege’s record to one win and two losses. The B-team game set the stage for the varsity as Miege bowed 59-53 Dennis Har- ris hit 10 points to aid the losing cause. Miege Downs Hogan In a rematch of the championship game in the Catholic League Tournament, Miege outseated Hogan again 73-62. This upped Miege’s record to 6 wins and 2 losses. Miege led all the way and had four men scoring in double figures. Jim Bornheimer was high with 19 points, and Bernie Bialek and Mike Murray with 15 points. Mike Ferrari scored 13 points, seven coming on a perfect night on the free-throw. Don Gerling rounded out the scoring with nine points. The Stags displayed a fine fast break to offset the Hogan sharpshooters. The 73 points is a team high for this season. The junior edition of the Stags also had a hot night as they rolled up a 65 to 42 vic- tory. Jim Shaunty scored 18 points and the rest of the team turned in balanced scoring to account for the victory. Mustangs Top Stags Bishop Miege got its first taste of defeat in the young basketball season as it bowed 57-47 to the Argentine Mustangs The Stags played erratic ball as they knotted the score twice late in the game only to have the Mus- tangs pull away. Miege could not put any- one on the boards to match Argentine's Ma- bion and Doyle, and these two accounted for many crucial rebounds. Again the Stags were sparked by Jim Bornheimer who bag- ged 21 points. Bernie Bialek also chipped in 11 to keep the Stag’s hopes alive. The B-team met the same fate and also lost by 10, 51-41. Dan Watkins and Dennis Harris each with 16, accounted with all but 9 of the team points. Stags Place At Meet Jack Hove and Mickey Fleskes represent- ed Miege at the State Swimming Meet in Wichita on February 15 and 16. Jack came in first in both of the events he entered.

Frequent mechanical errors and numer- ous missed high-percentage shots by Miege proved to be their downfall. Jim Bornheimer with 16 points and Mike Murray with 13 were the high scorers for Miege. One of the best fives in the area, Rock- hurst was running scared in the first half as the Stags pulled to within one point, but two quick baskets in the waning moments of the half put the game out of reach. Soon after the second half began, Rockhurst’s strength became apparent and playing the final minutes of the contest became a mere formality. Bob Bauers led Rockhurst with 22 points. Doug Couch Cardinals Downed Paced by Jim Bornheimer’s phenomenal shooting. Miege clipped Raytown South 63- 45 at Raytown February 8. Bornheimer, the 6T junior forward, hit on 11 of 13 attempts from the field plus bucketing six charity shots. Mike Murray with 20 points and Bornheimer with 28, outscored the entire Raytown South team. Aggressive defensive play by the Stags forced the Cardinals to take many difficult shots, most of these from the outside. Larry Gilliland was high man for Raytown South with 16 points.

Six junior boys, faithful to the President’s suggestion to be physically fit, started walk- ing back home from Atchison after the Stag’s victory over Maur Hill on February 22. Beginning at 9:40 Friday night, Pete Suess, Buzz Buchanan. Mike Bader, Ken Shannon, Jim Milazzo, and Bob Vickery started out on what they hoped would be a fifty-mile hike. John Wisner. armed with blister pads, medications, and so-called “Anti- Fatigue Pills,” paced the six by driving a few miles ahead in Buzz Buchanan’s car’’ and then waiting for the hikers to catch up. At 4:30 the next morning, they arrived in I eavenworth and stopped for a bite to eat at Paul’s Place” in the heart of the bustling town After finishing a fine and hearty break- fast which later caused Buzz and Pete to get sick, the boys attempted to all sleep in their “ pace car” just off the road. After an hour of attempted slumber, five of the original six again started out (Jim Cover design, signifying the lenten theme of prayer and penance, by Bill Snyder. Zook High School in Zook, Kansas.

Zook is the hometown of Miege’s history teacher, Mr. Leonard Eugene Salmans. The junior class has been doing some very extensive research on Zook, and have come up with some startling facts. 1) Zook, Kansas, never in its bloody his- tory had any Indian trouble. (There wasn't anything to interest the Indians.) 2) There is not any need for police en- forcement in Zook. (There aren’t any laws ) 3) Zook is never bothered by the problem of alcoholism. (There are no bars in Zook.� 4) Zook need not fear nuclear disaster. (One cherry bomb is all that is needed.) 5) The most popular sport at Zook High School is tractor racing, and 6) Zook recently won the small town of the month award. The juniors, headed by Barbara Gorman, have put up bulletin boards in Mr. Salman's classroom with all the information needed in considering a calm, restful vacation on the plains. Milazzo having stopped because of severe blisters). After a few miles it began to snow, so John Wisner was called upon to adminis- ter more of his Anti-Fatigue Pills. This of course made everyone feel much stronger and less tired. As Buzz put it, Those fan- tastic pills made me feel like a new person.” He didn't know that they were nothing more than corn starch which gives no energy whatsoever to the body. Their feeling was purely psychological. But feeling strong and fresh once again, the hikers continued on. Six hours later and twenty-seven miles fur- ther, they arrived at the city limits of Kan- sas City, Kansas, after trudging through three inches of snow. It was a gruelling experience, but the cross- country walkers say they enjoyed it. And adding to Pete Suess’s enjoyment was the fact that he received from his dad $1.00 per mile hiked, - a total of $50.00.. Mike Bader It's so cold.

Shorthand II Class Publishes Newspaper Miss Murphy's third hour Shorthand II class has been the scene of many business projects. Two of the most notable activities are the publishing of a business newspaper and the presentation of a play. Business Notes , the Shorthand II news- paper edited by Mary Fuchs and Teresa Santee, was distributed to all business classes on March 6. The entire Shorthand class con- tributed articles and typed them on stencils. The play presented on March 4 was “Meet Suzy Brainless, I Mean Brainy , a series of three sketches illustrating what a prospec- tive employee should never do. It was pro- duced. directed, and narrated by Judy Clark The first sketch showed Suzy being 30 minutes late for a job interview-; the second pictured a department store clerk being rude to a customer. Lastly, Suzy is seen objecting to her mother's college plans for her daugh- ter. Mary Rita Hope played Suzy, with Sheila Brashear as Miss Hughs, Suzy's employer. Other stars were Mary Fuchs, Teresa Santee, and La Vern Dimarco, all seniors.

Trudy Ann Brewer, freshman Government Classes Play Stock Market Mr. Moritz, was generous to give his stu- dents $10,000 to invest in the stock market but Mr. Lazzo could only afford $5,000. The reason for this was because Mr. Moritz is a bachelor and has no dependents to think about- or so Mr. Lazzo says. Prices went up and down during the allotted time as did the spirits of the stock holders. Student brokers helped the buyers with their pur- chases. Bill Weis. Pat Clifford, Jack Hove, Larry Quirk and Dave Lerner claimed to have made the most money Many of the students lost more money than they made-of these the leader was Bernie Bialek with a loss of $3,134.00. A company bankruptcy hit John Koetting, a student in Mr. Lazzo's government class, while the students were studying economics. Mr. Moritz said of the investors. “If I ever have the money, I may even hire one of them as my broker. Life Life is like unto a bouncing ball Rolling in the wind.

Offices The Junior Achievement Association of greater Kansas City kicked off the 1962-1963 season at Miege early last fall. Mr. Irvin S Wilson, head of Junior Achievement, spoke to a group of prospective members about the importance of this organization and what it really means to the student. In late October, the first meetings of Jun- ior Achievement convened with approximate- ly 1500 students from five counties partici- pating. These students, who represent forty schools, formed sixty-five companies. The “miniature businesses are organized on a scale parallel to that of any actual corpora- tion or private enterprise. Seventeen Miege students are members of J.A. and a large percentage of them are officers in their companies. The following students have been active in the organiza- tion this season: Pam Atchity, Susan Brande- meyer, Cathy Colleran, Susan Conrow.

The Jolly Green Giant however was not always jolly. Whenever the little black grubs were not producing fast enough to keep his vegetable business going, he would take great delight in crushing their little black bodies into the ground with his big green jolly foot saying, “Ho, Ho, Ho,” as he stomped along. This was one main reason why the ground stayed so green and rich because the little black grubs did make good fertilizer After many years of this constant harass- ment the little black grubs decided if they weren’t left alone to work in their own grubby little way they would have to retaliate in some way against their jolly master and his fertilizing techniques. That night all the little black workers met at Grubby Joe’s Bar to see if they could come to some solution about the green menace that threat- ened their grubby little lives. After a few of Joe’s special drinks called Grub-a-lugs (which consist- ed of one drop vinegar with a squirt of pea juice) had been consumed, the grubs decided they would offer their jolly master an ultimatum of either to start another vegetable farm elsewhere or to pre- pare himself for an all-out grub revolution. When morning broke, some of the more cour- ageous grubs stalked up the mountain side to the cave of the Jolly Green Giant to issue their ulti- matum. Just then they were greeted by a tre- mendous “Ho, Ho, Ho, and what brings you little grubs up to my cave this jolly morning!” The grub leader called Little Big Grub” stepped for- ward and proceeded to read the ultimatum. “We, the undersigned, think the Jolly Green Giant is a fink and that he should take his jolly green Ho, Ho, and his jolly green body and go straight to Hades. If these wishes are not complied with there will be an all-out war on said Jolly Green Giant.” “What so you think of that oh great green one,” said the leader. “Ho, Ho, You little grubs couldn’t hurt my little toenail.” “All right, jolly one but just remember forewarned is fore- armed.” Don’t give me any of that Aesop stuff,” said the Giant “I’ll be ready anytime for you little punks.” At this final word the grubs turned and started back down the mountain singing their theme song, “Who’s afraid of the Jolly Green Giant” all the time thinking of the upcoming battle. That evening the little grub militia met and made up their plan of attack.

It was altogether a fairly grubby attack. Slowly but surely they worked most of the night piling up vegetables at both entrances to the Giant’s cave. As dawn approached there was one last jolly groan from the cave. The green giant had suffocated under his own vegetables. A pretty grubby trick to do to such a jolly old giant.

Jack again proved that he is worthy of being called one of the best senior swimmers in the country. His times (48.7 sec. in the 100 yd. freestyle and 22.4 sec. in the 50 yd freestyle) were not only good enough to win first place, but also broke both of his own state records. Mickey showed great promise while tak- ing second place in the 100 yd. butterfly and fifth in the 200 yd. individual medley. In the 100 yd. butterfly Mickey was awarded sec- ond place on a judge’s decision. The first five swimmers all finished within one second of the first place winner.

The Stags were down by as many as 12 points in the early goings but they raced past the Junior Ravens with two minutes left and never again were headed.

March 8, a “press conference was held by actors Barbara Eden and Peter Fonda, at the Muehlebach Hotel. The confer- ence was attended by representatives from about thirty area high schools. The Miegian was represented by staff members Doug Dragert and Bill Snyder. The purpose of the conference can easily be seen; suffice it only to say that the reporters were each presented with a mimeographed sheet filled with a glowing account of Mr Fonda's personality and acting ability, photographs of Fonda and Miss Eden together with Miss San- dra Dee. and photomats (for the printing process). These things, the youths were told, could all be used in their school publications.

Among the school reporters were a number of girls, yet despite this and the youth of his audience Mr. Peter Fonda, through the use of frequent profanity, off-color humor, and downright obscenities, put on what was either a very coarse performance or a very shocking re- velation of character The interview itself stands out, in the opinion of the editors, as an attempt on the part of these actors or their managers, together with the Fox theatre chain which sponsored the event, to dazzle the teen reporters with the opportunity to meet a real star and to attend a real press conference. Then, of course, the publications involved would be expected to print ecstatic accounts of the wonderful exper- ience. well larded with Plugs” about the movie in which the two ac- tors are appearing. What purpose the vulgar display on the part of the younger Mr. Fonda was intended to serve is somewhat more difficult to uncover. Perhaps, granting that he is an actor, (the term is here used in re- ference to profession rather than to ability), Fonda was performing. If so, the obvious personality flaws of anyone who would perform in such a way need not be discussed here. On the other hand, if this vul- garity were not hypocrisy but a simple exposure of his normal behav- ior, these flaws become even more apparent and more severe. Who is it that would believe that all teen-agers to be so impres- sionable or so stupid that they would swallow without murmur the line of the publicity men. and then allow this bubbling trash to be pub- lished in their school newspapers? Evidently, there are such people, for the Miegian and the other school publications of this area have been asked to do just that. But with the addition of Fonda's obscenity, insult has been heap- ed upon injury. When the teenagers of this city are exposed to such amorality of conduct on the part of movie idols, with the apparent knowledge and consent of the local theatre chains that sponsored the event, then all of us must rebel. It is for this reason alone that this paper allows the actions of this screen idol and his publicity men to be brought to light. Truly, when the idols are found to have feet of the basest clay, the time has come to forsake idolatry, or at least to get a new idol. John W isner.

Mary Anne Manuel Wisner, junior, Winner in C. Y. O. Oratorical Contest John Wisner brought home the trophy as winner in the C.Y.O. Oratorical Contest March 31. John’s oration was entitled, Out of the Darkness. The contest was held at Hayden High School in Topeka and in- cluded participants from the high schools in the archdiocese. Each speaker presented an eight to ten minute oration based on some phase of the Bishops' statement of 1962. Orations were judged on stage presence, composition, and power to move the audience. As first place winner. John will represent the Archdiocese in the National Oratorical Contest to be held in Washington D. C., April 16. Stags Enter Science Fair The Twelfth Annual Greater Kansas City Science Fair being held this year on April 17 through the 20 in the Municipal auditorium Ex- hibition Hall, is a means to interest, develop, and encourage youths in the many fields of science. The exhibits will give the general public a better understanding of science and show biological, chemical, physi- cal, or physiographical principles. The entry from Miege students is The Gravity Projectile Rela- tion Apparatus entered by Larry Rouse and Dave Staab, under the direction of Sister Martina. This entry demonstrates the law of Physics the force of gravity on an object is independent of the velocity of the object. It does this by showing that if two ball bearings have equal mass, when one is thrown out horizontally at the same time the other one is dropped ver- tically, they will both hit at the same time no matter how fast the one is thrown out. John Wi per received a personal trophy and one for the school in the Oratorical Contest 9 - 171 - O' Stags Review Safety Rules Officer Henoch of Topeka, presented a Safety program at an assembly in the gym. March 15. Officer Henoch has talked to 6,400 students including Miege students. He brought a safety film which il- lustrated various accidents, which might have been avoided had the victims followed the rules of good driving. Some of these rules were ob- serving signs, passing only when allowed, and keeping to the extreme right of the road Officer Henoch said that teenagers make up only ten per cent of all drivers, but are involved in one third of all automobile accidenta. sa,t t iat 8 K00 at,'lU( e when driving is an important asset. TSome people that get behind the wheel let their problems interfere V' J with their driving, which sometimes ends in tragedy. Officer Henoch appealed to the Miege students to drive safely. Officers Albert Yonally. Frank Goddard, and Charlie Hall were also present. Martha Ziegelmeyer acted as assembly chairman. jar- ? Armed Forces Speak To Senior Boys On Wednesday March 12. six representa- tives from various branches of the Armed Forces including the National Guard, the Navy, the Army. Coast Guard, and the Air Force spoke to the senior boys in the new gym. The boys were told about the selective ser- vice regulations concerning registering in a certain amount of time. If the draftees neg- lect getting their draft cards later than a month or so. they will get an A-l rating and will be immediately sent into active service. The representatives also stated that in Kansas boys will not be drafted until they are 22 years of age. This rule is set aside and considered void if the boys is not doing well in school. Brian W hite Miege Spring Festival Soon My Ego and I, the original musical being presented by the stu- dents of Miege. is making rapid progress as the date of the performance draws near.

Sophomore Captures The National Honor Society sponsored its Third Annual Spelling Contest on Sunday. March 17. Eighteen students, representing all four classes, participated in the scholastic endeavor which was held in the new gymna- sium. Judi Landis, sophomore, spelled her way into the victory circle. The finalists were chosen on the basis of a test given to the entire school the preced- ing Tuesday. The finalists who participated in the event were Pat Stiles. Diane Lusk, Anne Sexton. Rita Johnson, Diane Martin. Vicki Morris, Jeanne Jones, Kathy Redman, Kathy Reynolds, Nancy Blodgett, Pam Atchity, John Donahue. Loretta Jones, Doug Couch, Phyllis Di Maio, Pat McCabe, Carol Spinner, and Judi Landis. Vicki Morris was the last freshman to go down, Pat McCabe was the final junior, and Carol Spinner was the last senior to fall prey to a word. The field gradually narrowed until Car- ol Spinner and Judi Landis were the only two remaining spellers. Carol was given the word “sustenance” and misspelled it. The word was then given to Judi who proceeded to spell it correctly thus becoming the cham- pion of the National Honor Society Third Annual Spelling Contest. Judi’s name will be engraved on a plaque and be prominently displayed in the front foyer of the school. Sister Raymond acted as moderator of the event. Larry Rouse, chairman of the con- test. was aided by Mike O’Brien who repeat- ed the words; Mary Noonan, timekeeper; Julie Ladesic, authoritarian; Shirley John- son and John Koetting, judges; and Susan Roche who collected admittance fees. John Koetting First in Spelling Bee Neo-Brooks’ Farm Begins in Room 215 Wheeler Speaks on Stock Market Many examples of how not to spell a word have come to light during the preliminary National Honor Society spelling contest elimination. Let us see how these words were twisted, garbled and annihilated by Miege students. Fricassee was mangled into frickye. Kohl- rabi was distorted into coalrobbie, cold rob- bery, and Cold Robbie. Sphagnum was warp- ed into psagnam, sifagnem, psphagnem, and 8fagdnom. Eczema was contorted into eggs- ama. Pistachio was perverted into paschino. Fraudulent was turned into frogulant. Eti- quette was mutilated into edicate. And last, but not least, annihilate into enalate. Finally there was the case of a young man who when asked how to spell etiquette wrote E-M-I-L-Y P-O-S-T. John Reidelbach Mr. Frazier has begun an entirely new phase in education for the induction of alge- bra into the craniums of the younger set; this new method involves the use of educa- tion medial ranging from the sliderule to chess. The reason for this radical new step in education is that a group of mathemati- cal wizards; namely Dave Chaffee, Wolf- gang Simon, and Jim Jones, came to the conclusion that their mathematical genius could most aptly be displayed through an accelerated progression of data emanating from their book, or, in other words, Mr. Fra- zier decided that they could progress at a much faster pace. When the transition from room 214 to 215 took place, the experiment became of- ficially known to the room 214 helots as Frazier's Brooks’ Farm Experiment. This experiment has succeeded quite well since the students who compose this august body residing in room 215 have progressed two chapters ahead of their lowly counter- parts in 214 and have improved their chess game immensely, due to their almost daily tournaments. J. S. Adamson III Judi Landis is presented her plaque. Complementing their study of the Stock Market, Sister Philip’s General Business class heard Mr. John Wheeler of the H. O. Peet and Company speak, on the Stock and the functions of the New York Stock Exchange on February. Rita Zipf - 173 - e SEARCH Time alone heeds the progress of achievement, gained by the lonesome hours spent in inner hermitage. Endeavors held insignificant by the majority cry out for the recognition and attention of a sign, that another individual also contains the need of this transferable happiness. Life continues at the same moderate pace with which it originated eons ago. Without a goal, this pace becomes an endless trailway of boredom and relentless fatigue. The populace by nature wishes to show talent to an appreciative audience. Mutual acceptance of this newborn contract allows the conquerors of this suppressed desire to form a bulwark of fidelity. The share of happiness conferred by each, gives way to a future of stability in society, with the completion of peaceful satisfaction.

Movie Review—“David and Lisa” “David and Lisa” is the first product of a new director, who with his wife, is responsible for one of the best movies offered to the movie-goer this year. This movie has already won the 1962 Venice Film Festival award for the best film by a new director as well as the San Francisco Inter- national Film Festival award for the best actor and actress, Keir Dullea and Janet Margolin. The movie is derived from a novel, “Lisa and David” written by Dr. Theodore Rubin. It is the dra- matization of the case histories of two real patients. The audience meets Lisa, a schizophrenic who talks in childish rhymes, and Dav- id who imagines that a touch can kill him; he will not shake hands or allow any physical contact with another human being. They discover each other in a suburban school for “disturbed” adolescents, and begin to trust, accept, understand, and love one another; eventually proving to be more beneficial in bringing each other to reality than all the teach- ers of all the previous schools. This film offers “warmth and a profound sense of human beings reaching out toward each other, finding strength and serenity”. It is a movie worth seeing.

Hick Coan: Did not play basket hall his first two years at Miege. Hick was one of the hardest workers on the squad and possessed a very ac- curate left handed shot. Don Gerling: Played his best during the Christmas Tournament. Don was a regular dur- ing most of the season and had an eighteen |K int night as a spot starter during his jun- ior year Mike Ferrari: A much improved player for the Stags this season until sidelined by an ankle in- jury. Mike shot an a- mazing 85% from the free throw line and his solid play was a hig fact- or in winning the Cath- olic League tournament. Doug Kollert: Was a spot starter during the last half of the season. Doug had the potential but was handicapped by lack of experience. He was the best jumper on the squad. Ji m Shaunty: This junior moved into the starting line-up during February and gave the tea m a lift with his scoring and rebounding. Jim. with continued im- provement. should be one of our dependables next season. Jim Bornheimer: At 6'1 Jim has to be the most productive basket- ball player in the area scorers. He averaged 18 points per game during the regular season to lead the K.C. K. area scorers. He also picked off rebounds at the rate of 12 per game, to lead the sq uad in that de- pa r t m e n t. With im- provement in other phases of the game, he should continue to lie one of the area’s '‘best next season. Stags Take Third in Kegionals The Miege Stags captured the third place trophy at the Shawnee Mission Fiast He- gionals by knocking off Washington and Ward and losing to Wyandotte By doing so,, the Stags completed a 12 and 9 season, the best in the short history of Miege. Washington was the first victim as they fell by a 41 to 38 margin. A pair of juniors, Jim Bornheimer and Jim Shaunty, led the Stags into the second round with 13 and 12 points respectively. The Stags went into the second contest with a full upset in mind, but fell to Wyan- dotte 46 to 32. Jim Shaunty’s scoring of 11 points and Doug Kollert‘s rebounding put the Stags within 6 points midway through the fourth quarter. But then top-seeded Wyandotte showed that the rankings were correct as they pulled away and coasted to victory. Miege took third place and got revenge for two earlier season losses by beating Ward 56 to 55 on a last second basket by Mike Murray. The two teams were within three points of each other the whole game. Mur- ray finished with 17 points followed by Jim Bornheimer with 16 and Jim Shaunty with 14. The last second shot was a fitting climax to a creditable season, but caused much dif- ficulty as the scorebook could not be read after Joe Hartnett had hurled it to the raft- ers at the buzzer and wrinkled the pages be- yond recognition. Juniors Grab Roundball Awards Jim Bornheimer. who led the K.C.K. area in scoring this season, was voted the Most Valuable Player award by the basketball squad. Jim Shaunty was selected as the Most Improved Player. His play during the last month of the season gave the team the necessary lift to finish strong in the regional tournament. Both Jims and Jim Graben- horst are the varsity award winners from the junior class. Six persons have earned awards for their play during the recent season. Mike Mur- ray, receiving his third varsity M in basket- ball. heads the group Bernie Bialek and Mike Ferrari receive their second letter. Don Gerling, Rick Coan. and Doug Kollert win their first award. Big men dominated the squad's choice of an all-opponent team. Ed Tucker. Hayden; Hon Franz, Ward; Lucious Allen. Wyan- dotte; Ken Cloud, Sumner; and Phil LaHue, Rosedale; composed the squad the Stags would least like to meet on the court. This five edged such area notables as Bill Wew- ers, Kon Henderson. Bob Bowers. Bill Toler. Mike Canfield, and Erwin Blond for top honors. Mike Murray: Scored his biggest basket of his career in the last shot of the season dumping Ward in the regional tournament. Mike was our second leading scor- er w hile compiling an ex- cellent AY mark from the field. Mike had a 23 point night against Hay- den for season's high He is receiving a letter for his third varsity cam- paign.

Many of these crimes will be covered on the first page of the journal. Nothing too unusual, the important news covered on the most prominent page of the paper. But a closer examination of the simple fact shows one thing: crime, or at least stories about crime are given alarmingly great coverage in today’s mass media. Sad but true, a great number of these stories con- cerning crime are about teenagers. With the seemingly great increase in crime report- ed, and the lack of reporting on the noteworthy con- structive things done, it is little wonder that we are re- garded as the worst of generations in our nation’s his- tory. No one can deny the increase in crime, but there has been a correspondingly great increase in the con- structive activities of youth. No one can deny also that the newspapers of the country are in the business to make money, and that crime, being more interesting than virtue, makes for more selling of papers, ergo, more money. Which is the more important, the theft of fifty dollars or an event that shows the community-helping side of the teenager? But unfortunately,the former is often printed in a prominent place, while the latter languishes in an obscure back page, or is not aired at all. It is argued that the publishing of accounts of crimes is a source of public awareness and action against crime, but all too often it becomes a source of oppro- brium for the teenager and nothing more. This then is the question: should the journals of this country continue to give crime an importance that it does not deserve, or should they begin to make an attempt to give clear, unpatronizing accounts of the constructive side of youth’s activities? Isn’t it about time that we started to see the stories about the teens who work long hours at hospitals for nothing, about the teens who spend time that many believe is used for crime visiting old folks’ homes, or perhaps about those who help their churches, or take months of training to become qualified to babysit gra- tis for retarded children, so that the children’s parents can have a night out? Yes, it is about time, time that the public finds out that we do not all wear leather jackets or use buck- ets of hair oil or steal hubcaps. What can we do? As a starter, we can deluge our city’s papers with demands for more decent coverage, and more constructive reporting. We can disavow those few “hoods” that are among us, and let the public know that we stand upon firm moral ground. Above all, we can begin to take upon ourselves the duty of performing constructive acts, which will reflect well on our generation. Only after these things are done will we, as teens, be able to say with pride, “It’s all in the papers.” John Wisner The Miegian MONTHLY NEWSMAGAZINE EDITOR Elaine Hunter NEWS EDITOR -and EDITORIAL STAFF John Wisner SPORTS EDITOR Larry House ASSOCIATE EDITOR ART ASSOCIATES Doug Couch pat Clifford, Doug Dragert LAYOUT EDITORS Fat Clifford.

John Reidelbach Guest Speaker Discusses Cuba Mr. Larry Daniels, former member of the Cuban Chamber of Com- merce and resident of Cuba for 30 years, related to Monsignor Koch's religion classes, his experiences of living with and knowing the people of that country. To show the power of the Communist Party in Cuba Mr. Daniels stated that when Castro came into power there were 10,000 Commu- nists; now there are 45,000 Communists in Cuba. He went on to say that to maintain Castro in power it is costing the Communists one million dollars a day. This sum can be divided in- to armaments such as machine guns, tanks, jets, and above all food. Mr. Daniels placed emphasis on this last item when he said, When everything is plentiful. Communism will fall on its face. Communist forces are in part, composed of men with some type of complex and women who are prostitutes and homosexuals. These people make marvelous informers because they have hatred and resentment in their hearts.They (the Communists) make hay with these informers, he related. In Cuba, practically all criminals are let out of jail and are elevat- ed to a position in the government. Asked if Cuba could possibly become independent of the Com- munists again he answered. Only one country has thrown off chains of the Communists-Spain. This was accomplished only by the tremen- dous faith of the people. John Reidelbach Miegians Capture Students Equip Lab Mr Frazier’s Physics class has been en- grossed in an entirely new endeavor for the past several weeks. Mr. Frazier decided that the boys should put their vast store of sci- entific knowledge to a practical use. After rejecting ideas such as constructing a rocket, a ray gun, etc., the Dean decided the young men should build a Wave Machine and a Ripple Tank. The Wave Machine, constructed of wood and wire, simulates the various waves as they react in air. A small motor vibrates a metal backbone simulating various wave patterns. The group fashioning this device, headed by John Koetting. consists of Dave Staab, Larry Kellerman. Bill Kernion, Ber- nie Bialek. and Bill Weis. The Ripple Tank illustrates waves as does the Wave Machine but the former produces the waves on the surface of a shallow tank of water. Larry Rouse heads the group de- vising the Ripple Tank which includes Don Gerling, Bob Foley. Rich Butler. Dave Craw- ley, and Rick Walsh. The boys, after some persistent urging by Mr. Frazier, decided to present their devices to the Physics lab to bolster the lab equip- ment and to aid future classes in delving in- to the wave theory more deeply and com- prehensively. John Koetting NHS To Induct New Members in Society The National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll will hold joint induction ceremonies on April 30 this year. During this ceremony, six seniors and twenty juniors will be taken into NHS and 5 will be initiated into QS. The new members have been selected on the basis of four qualities: Scholarship. Lead- ership. Character, and Service. The student entering the Society must maintain a B” average for all four years of high school. Al- so he must be elected by a two-thirds ma- jority vote of the entire faculty. Only fifteen percent of each graduating class may be inducted into the National So- ciety. Of this quota, ten per cent may be elected during the junior year. Quill and Scroll is an international honor society for high school journalists. To be eligible, the student must be a junior or a senior, be in the upper third of his class, and be outstanding in the field of high school journalism. He must also have the written consent of his QS chapter. John Koetting This is the first year for Miege as a chart- er member of the Quill and Scroll Society and for individual student members. Three Trophies On April 17, 1963, Don F’ortin, Doug Ir- men and Ken North, took first, second, and third place trophies respectively in the 1963 Oratorical Contest sponsored by the Mis- sion Optimist Club. Other Miegians parti- cipating were Frank Wendl, Mike Kelly and Bert Brigman. The title of this five minute oration was Youth’s Approach Toward World Forces.” This subject, a nationwide topic, was de- cided upon by the International Optimist Clubs. This is the fourth consecutive year that Miege has placed in this event. In ad- dition to his first place trophy, Don received a $250 dollar scholarship, and will repre- sent the Mission Club at the Zone Contest at Hickory Grove on April 25th. Ken North, Don Fortin, and Doug Irmen proudly display their trophies for the 1963 Mission Optimist Club Oratorical Contest. - 182 - c LJ LJ LL D (TWTZWTI J U R1 U IT Have you been wondering what to do in study hall when you have 30 minutes left? Here is the way some students pass the time. 1. Sure at the boy or girl across the table, then the aisle, then across the room. 2. Go get a drink that you don’t want, sharpen a pencil that doesn't need sharpen- ing or go back and forth to the dictionary. 3. Write notes. 4. Repair make-up. 5. Write your boy or girl friend’s name on your notebook, arms, books, etc. 6. Count the chewing gum stuck under- neath the table. 7. Take your shoes off and count your toes. If after all of this you still have time left over, try studying; it may be a new exper- ience. The only persons excused are the stu- dents with a straight A average and who won a four year scholarship to college. Dear Diary. I am so happy! It finally happened to me. I can’t believe it.

K m t, Bob Watkins, Patty Dugan, Larry Kelly, Bill Van Hecke. The Freshman class in this, its first year at Miege, has distinguished itself in both scholastic and athletic fields. However, the main purpose of this class has been to work in accordance with the other students to pro- mote the general welfare of Bishop Miege High School, even though the split sessions sometimes made this very difficult. And now we feel ready and worthy to move up to the position of the 63-'64 Sophomore class, and to carry on the tradition of excellence of the class.

A great deal will be expected of this class as seniors, but I am certain that their burden of responsibility will be accepted and that the class of ’64 will be one of the greatest to ever graduate from Miege.

The doors of school are now closing for the summer. But for us, the class of ’63, the doors of high school are now closing not just for the summer but forever-for a lifetime. For graduation is at hand. It is amid the excitement of grad- uation that we, the seniors,find timeto reminisce-the time to remember things signifi- cant and things trivial. As underclassmen we entered an entirely “new” world-new studies, new friends, new surroundings. While adjusting to all of this newness however, we began to prepare ourselves for service to our school, to form basic study habits, to acquire fundamental knowledge, to cultivate varied interests, and to develop ideals for the future. As juniors we put everything we had learned in the past two years into practice and began to feel for the first time our duty as upperclassmen. We did our best to accept the challenge of leadership with loyalty and perseverance. Perhaps the finest example of our success was the “Tropical Paradise” prom. No one but us can ever know the countless hours at night and on weekends that went into building islands, growing palm trees, and making our Prom a wonderful night to remember always. Then at last we were seniors-at the top of the ladder. One of the first ways in which we delighted in boasting of our new position of superiority was “Senior-freshman Day.” As the year progressed, however, we settled down to less wild activities like de- corating for Homecoming, cheering on our Athletes at all the games, taking countless exams for college, reading musty hooks for term papers, decorating booths for College Day, and receiving our class rings. As seniors, the responsibilities of leadership were entirely ours. We hope that what we have accomplished during the past four years has made a good impression on those to follow. We have made mistakes, we admit. But we only hope that through our mis- takes and difficulties others may benefit. All the joys and trials, laughter and tears of these years are behind the door of high school. Memory is the only key to this door, the only way in which our high school days can live again. But now as graduation approaches, we look not back but ahead to the future. Be- cause of our education at Miege, we stand prepared to accept the rights and duties of responsible Catholic adults. 3- Class Officers: President, Ron Meinert; Vice-president, Larry Kellerman; Secretary.

The times spent at Miege, though all too few they may seem, will leave an indelible impression on those who have par- taken in them. The mixers, games, clubs, carnivals, homecomings, proms, and other uncountable activities are those that we will never forget. Some of us can look ahead to similar days on the scholastic or extracurricular level-- those who will tread these same halls again next year. But for others, the highlights of their high school career are all in the past. Whether they smile or frown over their accomplishments, they now must have an eye on the future--where they can attempt to accomplish what they failed in pre- viously. It is to these people especially, after whom the doors are closing per- manently, that the greatest wishes of success are extended. Yes, this past year has proved successful to many people in many ways, but now we must look toward more important things than the past because it has come to an end— the end of the school year. . . the end of the seniors. . . the end of the yearbook. - 221 - C ongratulations to 63 graduates from Always a good deal and a good deal more” Bob Smith Motor Co. 651 5 Prospect JONES STORE Visit the Jones Store in Prairie Village Young Junior Department — 2nd floor Complete line of Sportswear Swimsuits White pleated skirts for the Pep Club Anything you need for dress or play Visit us Tuesday 4-6 and enjoy a free Em 3-1190 DL Dasli. -Slore for Pepsi Cola while you shop. ,1 JOHNSON COUNTY'S FINEST FACILITIES tacCcf, 'KCeia Pontiac, ac.

The fragments of a yearbook staffs conversation are meaningless to anyone but the staff itself (this is probably a blessing). Although it is meaningless to the students, we hope that the work on the Miegian is not. Just what was involved in producing this year's year- book? What did working on it entail? Producing the Miegian meant sometimes working on Sundays from 9:00 A.M. till 5:00 P.M.; staying long after school and almost being locked in the building; it meant dashing over to the publisher's office at two minutes until five with our completed pages (deadlines were at five o’clock); and finally it meant planning, pain, and mostly fun (otherwise we couldn’t have lived through it). But with all our diligence, the yearbook couldn’t have been completed without the help of many people. Sister Immaculata and the photographers (especially Fred Mance) toiled for hours taking and developing pictures. Sister de Lourdes and the advertising staff, through the campaign in October and hours of collecting through the year, were responsible for keep- ing the yearbook a solvent operation. Also appreciated is the cooperation of the teachers who allowed us to come into their classes to take pictures (and out of their classes as dead- lines neared). Not to be forgotten (she would probably like to forget us) is Miss Hellinger, our long-suffering moderator, who gave up her time to put up with us and to bear the re- sponsibility involved. - 259 - rddr13 - 260 r' f ■myr r 1 ' ' YVi. • 4+V .V VXv’ - f- ► ■ i J2as -•• v'. y f' W. m ■c : Sk ftU. v ._ ¥ ‘ . ?£ . } S J' '
