The Miegian To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces. A time to seek, and a time to lose a time to keep, and a time to cast away. A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak. A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. a year is a long memory Ecclesiastes 3 of red leaves lying raked fire burning and one yellow leaf for not forgetting of gray ground stretching seed filled snow fed and one white snowflake star bright for hoping of pink pale sky tinting flowers springing and one blue blossom for growing a year is a long memory and a great growing season signs are Christ symbols a yellow leaf a white snowflake a blue flower a year becomes a part of us in His care His life in us grows gold to the harvest Bishop Miege High School 504 1 Reinhardt Drive Shawnee Mission, Kansas a wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand. e. e.

KENNEDY “I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other gen- eration. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. . . . ask not what your country can do for you— ask what you can do for your country.” MEMBERS OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL began the 1963-64 school year with a renewed spirit. President Dave Martin with the help of his cap- able vice-president John Wisner, and the assistance of treasurer Terry Alley and secretary Martha Ziegelmeyer, took up the many endeavors begun by their ambitious predecessors. Sister Martina stepped in as new moderator to this year's council, assuming her responsibilities with an optimistic out- look. The twenty-nine representatives from the various homerooms and the Advisory Board, club and group offi- cers, constitute the members of the school's governing body. STUDENT COUNCIL officers shown here with their moderator, Sister Martina are: Martha Ziegelmeyer, secretary; Terry Alley, treasurer; Dave Martin, president; and John Wisner, vice presi- dent. has been passed to a new generation...” John F Kennedy STUDENT COUNCIL officers Terry Alley, Martha Ziegelmeyer, John Wisner, and Dave Martin are pictured here with the other Stuco members who ore left front to back: John Gillie, Bob Kellerman, Bill Hayden, Tom Geraghty, Fred Silody, Katie Brown, Eddie Larkin, Bob Vickery, Terry Pile, and Tom Hamill; second row: Greg Kierst, Mike Helvey, Bob Clifford, Sergio Cer- esa, Nancy Kopek, Peggy Noonan, Melvin Lavery, and Tom Dwyer; third row: Helen Hennier, Joan Bradley, Mike Gaughan, Pat Stiles, Pat Lolly, Jim Dyer, Larry Viene, Nancy Tremble, Pete Suess, and Vince Howard; fourth row Teresa LaGue, Mory Sue Fisherkeller, Mary Ellen Gerrity, Pat Lonning, Pot O Neil, Joyce Tebbe, Jo Ann Meaney, Maria Lagodzinski, Melinda Lohr. Science-Math Clubs Doctors Jim Milozzo ond John Wisner perform surgery on o black rabbit while anesthesiologist Rich Eisler administers the ether. New strides in science have been taken and the old Science Club has given way to two newly formed groups, the Biological Sci- ence Club and the Physical Science Club. The Biological Science Club is concerned with the fields of medicine and instructs its members through demonstrations and discussions, and is directed by President Jim Milazzo, Vice- president Barbara Fischer, and Secretary Mary Kay Conry. The Physical Science Club moder- ated by Miss Grotz and led by President John Goldrick, Vice-president Allan Pinne, and Secretary Pat Gaughan delves into the dis- coveries in the fields of chemistry and phy- sics. The Math Club is an organization of ac- celerated juniors and seniors interested in the field of mathematics. Its purpose is the pro- motion of understanding of math through tours, reports, and special speakers on various phases of the subject. Fred Pinne, president, Pat Normile, vice-president, Nancy Kopek, secretary, and Doug Irmen, treasurer direct the meetings with the assistance of Sister Dolores, moderator. President John Goldrick explains intricate mechanics of a geiger counter to querulous onlookers who ask What the Q$ is this thing? seek answers Future secure in their hands President Kathy Gunigal and member Kathy Reynolds, two future teachers, get some practice in their possible pr fessions at Holy Name School. A grim look of determination is shown on the face of a young student at Holy Name. Educational films seem to be less boring when these students look at them through the eyes of future teachers (juniors) and in a new light. Future Nurses Mary Jo McAuley, Mary Andrews, Colleen McCor- mick, and Phyllis DiMaio admin- ister first aid to Cheryl Metz under the direction of school nurse, Miss Bollig. The People to People Club, a newly organized club under the sponsorship of Sister Georgette, is a mem- ber of the organization by that name to further bet- ter relations and understanding between foreign countries. Here we see foreign exchange student, Sergio Ceresa, taping with other students an inform- ative talk on how students live in the U. S. This is one of the many projects which is being endorsed and sent to the sister school in Columbia. President Jo Ann Salamone is seen at the right with the other of- ficers nearby. Not only appreciation of art is found in the Art Club, but also the expression of ideas. Hard work and natural talent come together to create many ex- cellent works noticed by both members of the club and the entire school body. Under the direction of Sister Clarice, the club lives up to its motto Effort and talent combined in God. Clubs captivate Stags’ enthusiasm Through the efforts of the able members of the Li- brary Club, Miege s library has grown and improved. The members perform various duties toward the devel- opment of the library. Here students are assisted in the checking out of books. - 8 - An increased knowledge of the manual arts is provided for by the Industrial Arts Club. A keen interest is displayed in a project by the members who use both skill and tools in their various club activities. President of the Home Ec Club, Judy Meyers, makes a critical study of table ar- rangements on Career Night. Potential Vocations shortened is Po Vo. The members of Po Vo plan activities that help them get more information on I religious life. Since there are so many members and it is hard to get together, Sister Philp, moderator, suggested putting out a monthly bulletin.

Miegian staffs present JOURNALISM students soon find their lives revolving around headlines and dead- lines. They work to make worth- while contributions to their school by reporting facts ac- curately, by reading extensive- ly, by expressing views per- suasively and intelligently, and by maintaining good rapport with those they must contact for news. In reading, they in- crease their knowledge and broaden their views so that through their writing, they can share these broadened views with others. To be good re- porters they must be untiring in their efforts, unselfish with their time, and generous with themselves. This year for the first time, journalism is a two- semester course. Getting the facts from Sr. Martina for a good feature story: feature editor Janeon Harnden, Mary Virginia McLoughlin. Exchange editors Bob Vickery and Kathy Reynolds.

The staff this year decided to depart from the traditional yearbook division and to break the format into three sections—activ- ities of the fall, winter, and spring seasons. To get the yearbook finished and off the press, the staff had to pull together, work hard, and squeeze in minutes when- ever they could grab them for this extra- curricular activity. Photographers Jim Jones, Bill Sine, Bill Pesek, Mike Kirk, John Rutherford, Jim Brock, and Don Burkett spent countless hours in the darkroom mixing hypo and other chemicals, developing negatives, printing and drying pictures. They worked feverishly as deadlines drew nearer. They developed a feeling for types of photo- graphic paper to use for types of nega- tives, for timing, lighting, etc. There were mistakes and ruined film but this was mini- mal and a part of the learning process. A working together with the rest of the staff assured a good yearbook out on time. Front: Kothy Gunigal, Pat Gaughon, Cathy Colleran, Diane Orr, Nancy Kopek, Mary Dyer.

College Day stimulate thought Over 30 representatives of various careers talked to Miegians Wednesday night, November 13, to help them evaluate the different careers in life. College bound juniors and seniors joined with students of Ward High School to inquire about various Catholic colleges represented at Miege on College Day, November 27. Representatives from approximate- ly 30 colleges participated in the program. The plan- ned sessions allowed students to learn not only about their first choice college, but also to get general in- formation on other colleges. Three students from Our Lady of the Lake College in Son Antonio interest students from Word and Miege in their school. Reverend Father Kalamaja speaks at the general assembly as to merits of Rockhurst Col- lege for college-minded students. - 14 - cauliflower, dipsomaniac, rhinoceros.

Sister s position involves her in many activities including the recording of transcripts, filling out ond filing reports, answering questionnaires, writing recommenda- tions, helping untangle problems of scheduling, ond maintaining good rela- tions with the public and the teaching staff. During this his first year at Miege, Father Anthony Bloufuss was Spiritual Director for the students. His contribu- tion to the development of the whole student is invaluable. It is Father's voice heard over the intercom reading perti- nent biblical passages at the beginning of each school day. Father arranged for a Mass each Wednesday in the school chapel for alternating groups of students to take advantage of. Father was or- dained in Rome in 1958. High Achievement Father Robert Sullivan looks back with relief and satisfaction at the suc- cessful completion of the '63- 64 school year. This is also the end of his fourth year as principal at Miege. Father's responsibilities were many and sometimes overwhelming as he worked with the 44 faculty members for the good of the 1,050 students. The standards which Father sets for the faculty and the students are high. He stresses a deep involve- ment in developing the whole person. His goal is to have students grow in- tellectually by finding truth in the knowledge and instruction imparted to them by their teachers. And he knows that with this increase in know- ledge and truth, the wills of the stu- dents will more firmly choose good. Mr. Robert Frazier, Dean of Boys, has a lot of bookwork to do as he keeps an account of student merits and demerits. Students know that he is a grim disciplinarian, but also a friend in need. Mr. Dick Byard was appointed Guidance Counselor for the seniors this year. He helps the student evaluate his test results, grade av- erages, individual capabilities, and the different college requirements, qualifications, and scholarship of- ferings. Among other counseling activ- ities, Sister Georgetta keeps the students notified well in advance of dates for college entrance tests, etc. Sister has been Guidance Coun- selor at Miege for four years. Sister Martina, Dean of Girls, juggles the ominous green slips and records the outcome. Sister is always cheerful in spite of her strict role. This is the second year for both Deans for serv- ing in this capacity. lit � 1 The library is vital in the life of a good student.

All knowledge should broaden the minds of those who are learning so that they can realize their real purpose in life and be able to an- swer the question, Why am I here? ' truthfully in their own minds. Is it Mark Twain or e.e. cumminps? Whoever it is that Miss Rosemary Koetting is reading about, her sophomore class seems to enjoy it. John Wisner presents his ob- servations on the foibles of Antigone to Great Books discussion leader, Mr. Michael Kellerman. Fred Pinne weighs the idea. in Truth and its Expression Miss Jeanne Falke and Miss Bar- bara Wewers are both new at Miege this year. Miss Mary Ann Lucas, head of the English department, acquaints them with the new faculty library as they look for interesting approaches to teaching LES MISERABLES to their freshmen classes. The English curriculum at Miege is based on a progressive and con- tinuing study in the fields of literature and composition. The four year writ- ing program is a progressive study of sentence structure, paragraph writ- ing, theme writing, and a stylistic ap- proach to composition and the re- search paper. The literature program encompasses the study of individual literary types, American literature, English literature, and World litera- ture. The aim of the English curriculum can best be summarized as one which has as its purpose the evolution of a student who can express himself in writing with correctness and clarity and one who can read coherently and who can evaluate literature in relation to his own life. Sister Marie Therese, head of the language department, uses the Saint Cloud LA VOIX ET LES IMAGES me- thod of teaching French. Sister uses a filmstrip for a picture, and a tape recording with statements in French concerning the pic- ture. The students re- peat the words and associate them with the picture. We “parlez vous-habla usted-decisne” Sister Gregory finds that teach- ing Latin is stimulating and rewarding. Mrs. Maria Iturralde believes that a language should be studied primarily to be spoken. Sister Raymond, Latin III, lights up at the prospect of delving into Cicero s Orations. The teaching staff at Miege recognizes the import- ance of the study of foreign languages in the development of its students. Language stu- dents become more articulate and learn to express them- selves with more precision. Their cultural and intellectual background is deepened through the study of foreign languages, ancient as well as modern. In causing the stu- dent to compare cultures and civilizations of other peoples with that of his own, the study of a language develops a critical sense in the student. In a more practical light, the study of a language furthers commercial, social and sci- entific communication with foreign countries. It is neces- sary for a position of leader- ship. Also, at least a reading knowledge of foreign lan- guages is necessary for spe- cialized purposes of research because a number of import- ant documents are not avail- able in translation. Finally, the world is made smaller to the language student and he grows closer to his fellow man. -36- Latm has its own pecular richness and rhythm. Sister de Lourdes, Latin II, reads from Caesar s Gallic wars. m It's music from the Broadway production FIORELLO that holds the attention of the Music Appreciation class. Entranced are Pam Reiter, Cathy Colleran, Pam Atchity, and Cheryl Metz. Sister Clarice, art instructor, uses oils to capture the pensive manner of a young girl. We Seek Beauty and Truth The speech, art, de- bate, journalism, and mu- sic appreciation courses might be called media of culture and communica- tion. The speech classes spend much time and ef- fort in becoming more articulate in oral expres- sion. Art students use oils, charcoal, water colors, li- noleum blocks, silk screen- ing, etc., to create a work which expresses an aesthe- tic experience which they feel and wish to share with others. The Music Apprecia- tion course includes units on music from jazz to con- temporary music and from the study of Broad way shows to a study of or- chestral instruments. Debaters get invalu- able training in clear, log- ical thinking. They ac- quire a critical sense of evaluating the ideas of others and become acute in expressing their own ■ Bill Lutz, senior, and Mrs. Marguerite Sullivan, speech instructor, play back some of the trial at- tempts of the speech class. Developing a last- minute picture is often one of the |obs that Sister Immaculata, jour- nalism, has to get done before a paper or year- book deadline hits. A successful debate class displays some of the trophies acquired during the 63- 64 debate season. Front: Jackie Ring, Mary Kirby, Nancy Kopek, Judy Soenen, Sue Audley, Pat Stiles, Leslie Rohr.

Biology and physiology offer interesting know- ledge of the complexities of man. In the chem- istry lab, the why’s’ and how's of chem- ical reactions are explored. The physical, earth, and general sciences probe the basic formation of the earth and its atmosphere. Physics deals with the laws and principles of the physical universe. The teachers of the var- ious subjects are under the direction of Sister Martina, the head of the science department. World science made great strides in 1963. A few advances: Solar cells were devised that could gather energy from the sun and provide electricity for rockets. A new atom smasher or accelerator was perfected and is in full operation in Illinois. A heart valve transplant in a dog was still continuing to function after two years. Algae farms successfully increased the world's protein supply for animals. This year, in order to meet the challenge of the future, the mathematics department at Miege made changes in its methods of teaching. Teaching machines be- came a regular part of the freshman Algebra I classes. These programmed booklets enabled the students to pro- gress as rapidly as they, them- selves, judged they were able. Some class periods were spent working together while other periods were used for self- teaching activities. Tests were taken individually as students finished a booklet. This year's geometry stu- dents used the second in a series of modern math text books. Plane and solid geome- try was taught as a unified course. Next year these stu- dents will be the first to use a Modern Algebra II and trig- onometry textbook. Several upper-classmen used programmed texts in order to advance more rapidly and to absorb a greater amount of material.

In studying courses in Social Studies, the stu- dent sees events of the past in relationship with events in his own day and makes intelligent evalu- ations. He sees man guided by varying philoso- phies over the ages and judges the strength or weakness of the underlying principles. He studies the detailed workings of his own American govern- ment and sees a philosophy emerge which shows democracy to be built on rational principles. His knowledge of man, past and present, will help him evolve right principles which will contribute to- wards his own greatness.

Miss Dorothy Murphy is head of the department. Developing the whole man as educa tion is supposed to do involves a lot of course offerings. All students are required to take one year of Phys. Ed., usually in the freshman year. Elective courses which develop the student over and above scho- lastic achievement are Clothing, Home- making, Drafting, Bench Woodwork, and Architectural Drawing. These courses give the student an outlet for his creative abili- ties coupled with his manual dexterity. Each course adds to the reservoir of know- ledge and experience that is important to student fulfillment. Boys in Mr. Art Zimola's Bench Woodwork class come up with a good showing of quality wood furnishings by the end of the school year. Joe Petree and Joe Lechner polish one of their first projects done at the beginning of the year.

Kansas Christian maturity Senior Retreat Theme With solemn dignity, the Seniors were introduced to a new way of actually participating in the Mass. Through the offertory procession, each student was given the op- portunity to offer himself and his intentions. Send forth your light and your truth; let these be my guide. These words were sung by the seniors at the begin- ning of each conference during the retreat given by Father Joseph LaGue on January 28, 29, 30. During the conferences Father LaGue stressed the im- portance of each senior be- coming an adult by finding out who he is and what his role is in Christ's church, and how to accept himself as such. The conferences held by Father La Gue proved to be a challenge for eager Senior minds. Father s ap- proach, though new and different, gave way to deep thought on the problems of growing up. Seniors were given the opportunity to ease puzzled minds through group discussions. Ideas from the previous conference were present- ed and through the help of several thought-provoking questions, a clearer meaning was obtained. Christmas Theme at Bible Vigil The Christmas Program, at tempting to present a more spiritual outlook on the coming feast, brought the entire stu- dent body together for a more unified preparation. Senior Homeroom 4B Chairman: Barbara Fincher Moderator: Mr. Moritz Reverend Joseph B. LaGue, re- treat master. Carnival And Hootenanny For Come on, hand it over, argues Robert Wilier os he tries to collect from a loser at the wheel of fortune. Dressed in their Sunday best, Pam and Rich set out for the ever popular Winter Carnival. This year, the winter cold and snow didn't hold back the Stags from hav- ing fun. On December 29, club members busily rush- ed to school to set up their booths. Later in the eve- ning, while wheels started rolling, pennies started pitching, and auctioneers started auctioning, the |uke- box blared in the Student Lounge. About a month later, January 24, every- one clapped their hands to the beat of Hootenanny favorites, such as Abi- lene, Michael, and The Ballad of Jed Clam- pett. This was also the festivity of crowning the Yearbook Queen. Surely someone will give twenty-three cents for this fine speciman of humanity, per- suades Fred Pinne os he attempts to sell ex- change student Sergio Ceresa.

This year the Student Council's Christmas proiect centered on bringing Yuletide cheer to the less for- tunate. This proiect was enthusiastically carried out through the homerooms. This procedure enabled everyone to partici- pate. Students found that the fun was in giving not in receiv- ing. Pam Kaul, Pam New- bonks, Chris Lutz, and Charlene Slatier gather toys and food for sopho- more homeroom. Diane Orr and Coroline Phillips tediously wrap a few of their homeroom s gifts.

In spite of lacking facilities, Mickey's coach, Jerry Sprague, says Mickey has done exception- ally well for the work he was able to do in such a short period of time. When he hits the water for practice, he can do anywhere from 30 hundreds to 70 forties in a one hour period. Working on his own at the Kansas City Athletic, and under his coach at Wyandotte Junior College, Mickey is able to get in about 6 hrs. of work per week. Although he gets little work in the water, Mickey is still planning a trip to the Men's Indoor Na- tionals in 3 events in April. Seniors ’64 “We want from you students not the sneers of the cynics nor the despair of the faint- hearted. We ask of you enlightenment, vision, illumination.” John F. Kennedy Four years ago we launched upon a phase of life which has left a lasting mark upon our char- acters. We became members of a fast - growing family. We were very inexperienced in the part that we were to play as members of this family, but we accepted our role as freshmen. Three years ago we became a more intricate part of the family. Again we accepted the respon- sibility for helping, teaching, and guiding our new brothers and sisters. During this year we contri- buted a victory flag to be flown in honor of some of the talented members of our school. Two years ago we undertook a greater share of the responsibility. We had the job of sending our older members off to a new phase of life with a happy farewell. Our farewell, the Junior-Senior Prom was the result of much planning, discussing, and hard work. But all the enjoyment of the pre- paration and of the big night paid off with mem- ories that we'll never forget. Nine months ago we were given the role of leadership of our family. We were given the privi- lege of initiating our new members plus many priv- ileges that we enjoyed in our last days with our family. As we look forward to the enjoyment of this year’s prom, Baccalaureate, Graduation and other activities, a feeling of sadness overshadows us for we know these will be our last activities with our family. But as we leave for another phase of life, we are proud, for we want to be fine exam- ples to the world of the kind of family we were members of—the family of students of Bishop Miege High School. MELVIN LAVERY SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT God: see all, nor be afraid!” from Rabbi Ben Ezra - VALEDICTORIAN Paula Bibb Honors To Top Seniors Each year 4% of the senior class are nominated by the faculty to receive the highest honor the school can bestow upon a member of its graduating class - the Aquinas Award. The recipients are nomi- nated on the basis of four qualifi- cations: (1) scholarship according to ability; (2) service to the school; (3) courtesy; (4) character. Each faculty member submits a written nomination containing the names of the number of students who may receive the Award; the Awards Committee then chooses from the names submitted, those who will be awarded the honor. Award winners will be announced on the annual Awards' Night. SALUTATORIANS. Pat Normile Pam Atchity For generations, one of the highest honors which could be be- stowed upon a student was to be class valedictorian; so it is at Miege. The major qualification for valedictorian at Bishop Miege is to have the highest grade average in the graduating class. The first runner-up ' for vale- dictorian, the individual with the second highest average in the graduating class is afforded the honor of salutatorian. This year, because of a tie, there are two honored as salutotorians.

There were multiple arrangements to be made. For weeks and weeks, Sr. Marianne was kept busy taking measurements for caps and gowns of the two-hun- dred-twenty boys and girls. Gradua- tion announcements were ordered, Sister Immaculata guiding and direct- ing all on their choice. Class rings were ordered last year by special con- sent of the administration so that most seniors were flashing their trademarks by early October.

The Miegian During the past year, journalism stu- dents have tried not only to make the stu- dent body aware of school happenings, but have also endeavored to promote among Miegians a consciousness of the ideas and events that influence the entire world. We hope that the newspaper has instigated serious thought among our readers con- cerning such important matters as human rights and Communism so as to awaken in them a spirit of understanding and the de- sire to become involved in making this world a better place in which to live through the love of Christ. Co-editors Anne Sexton and Dave Burns Exchange Students From Chile-Berlin Maria Logodzinski. West Berlin, and Ser- gio Ceresa, Santiago, Chile. Miege’s exchange students, are getting a full look at the Ame- rican way of life. This is not only from the other students but also from their foster parents and families. Mr. and Mrs. Philip K. Alvord, whom Maria is staying with, have two children- Doug, 11, and Mary Jo, a junior at Miege. The Alvords are very much interested in the foreign exchange student program. We read about the program in the Saint Ann's bulle- tin, and decided this was something we should do,” Mrs. Alvord said. She went on to say, “Then we wrote to the National Catholic Welfare Council and later received an application which concerned available accommodations, family interests, and gen- eral background; this we sent to Washing- ton.’ Mr. and Mrs. Alvord believe that in having a foreign student living with them, their children will gain a broader point of view” in learning how to give of themselves and to live successfully with others. Sergio is living with Mr. and Mrs. David T. Donovan and their family. The Dono- vans have four children of which the oldest is 11. When asked about the procedure they had to go through before getting a student, Mrs. Donovan replied, “Actually all we did was write a letter to the National Catholic Council in February giving information about our family interests, and why we want- ed a student. Our family has always been interested in foreign people. We think they are fascinating. To the question as to what it's like to have a student living with you, she said, Sergio is very adaptable. At first he was quiet, not bashful, just quiet; now he is like one of the family. He fits in very well.” Both the Donovans and the Alvords ex- pressed their wishes to have another student in the future. As Mrs. Donovan said, Our neighbors enjoy Sergio as much as we do!” Linda Taylor Maria and Sergio meet another of the 1,050 students to meet at Miege. Vol. 6 No. 1 Bishop Miege High-Shawnee Mission, Kansas-Oct 4, 1963 Melvin Lavery Tom Geraghty Mary Kay Conry Richard Eisler seniors, juniors elect class officers Junior class officers: Doug Irmen, Mary Espinosa, Don Fortin, Fred Silady. Enrollment at 1,052 Bishop Miege High School began the 63- 64 school year with a half-day session on Tuesday September 3, with an increase of 109 students over last year’s enrollment. The total enrollment at present is 1,052. On August 30, Freshman Orientation Day, all freshman gathered for a talk by Father Sullivan and the student council members regarding school policies and activ- ities. This year s freshman class enrollment is 303 students. Wednesday September 4, was a full day session for all students. With the first roll call the sophomore’s had 268 students, jun- iors 261 and the seniors 220. Girls outnum- ber boys 621 to 431. Since her dedication on September 7, 1958, Miege has had able leaders each year. Her sixth year is no exception as the elec- tion of this year’s class officers shows. September 18 was the day of senior de- cision. Melvin Lavery was chosen president; VEEP will be Tom Geraghty; secretary for her second term will be Mary Kay Conry, and Richard Eisler will serve as Keeper of the Funds.’’ Melvin, a conscientious student, repre- sented Miege at the Safety workshop in Stillwater, Oklahoma, this summer. Tom, one of Miege’s most promising foot- ball players, was last year s Student Coun- cil Treasurer; he is not new in the field of leadership. Mary Kay was a very able secretary as a junior and will be serving her class again as a senior. Richard “Ricco” Eisler, a potential foot- ball hero, will gain experience as a respon- sible treasurer. Junior Officers Head Large Class Fred Silady is the new junior class presi- dent. Then there’s Don Fortin who will assist Fred in governing a large class with a lot of responsibility. Mary Espinosa will keep track of class records which are invaluable in efficient pro- cedure. Doug Irmen will be treasurer and will gain much experience in keeping the budget balanced. Janean Harnden - 97 - Something Old-And New The motto on the Miege seal may seem a bit strange: Nova et Vetera, New and Old. Originally, the motto referred to the “new” Miege which stemmed from the “old” St. Agnes High. Few of us today are aware of the connection. But the phrase has perhaps a better application to us here and now in the beginning of this school year. The possible meanings are many: new- the fresh- man class, not yet fully sure of what Miege is all about, and old- those who have seen the school grow in the last year, and who have begun to realize how much Miege can mean to them. New and old, we all have a duty, a duty to so conduct ourselves that we will form, in time, traditions and feelings, now, in the new Miege, that will be old to those who will be here in years to come. We have the opportunity to build a future for the students of Miege, to help others feel the same bond with the school and fellow students as we do. Five years is a short lifetime for a school, Miege is young, almost without tradition, and now that she is completed, almost here to be taken for granted, there is a real danger that future students will not feel the same pride, the same sense of belonging as we have. It is through continuing traditions, linking one class to another across the years, that a school develops this sense of unity and continuity. It is up to all of us. And we do not lack the tools to build this unity. Student Council is such a tool, and a strong one. A tra- dition of student government, strongly supported, will provide the frame for all future building. And the frame must be sturdy. This then is what must be done: support the Council, take an active interest in it. There is room for every student in its actions! No student who desires to be active in the life of Miege can be refused the chance to take part. If no one asks you, volunteer. It is only by active students that the future will be sup- plied with a thread to connect with us. Your officers are ready. Your representatives are ready. The administration has pledged support. The rest is up to you. Help make the new one with the old. John Wisner G?ibKblP The name of this column may be misleading. We don’t want anyone to feel that he has to conjure up a list of gripes before he can drop a letter into the Grum- ble Box. We would like to see opinions and ideas, sug- gestions for the solving of some problem or for making good things about Miege better, compliments to a per- son or persons connected with school life, and then constructive criticism. The idea behind this column is the one word improvement — by tapping the creative resources of all those who aren’t members of this news- paper staff. In the future it will be required that con- tributors sign their names; however, names will be withheld from publication on request. Dear Editor, In the past two years, there has been quite a con- troversy in Washington about the Kennedy’s taking over; but now, we here at Miege are confronted with an even greater problem-- what to do about the Sul- livan monopoly? CAROLINE Dear Editor, In the course of human events, it has never been proved that Miege is not superior in either one field or another. In all my three years here I have truly seen both victory and defeat; but the many victories com- pletely outnumber the losses. I should like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the members of the football, basketball, track, and debate teams in their fine work. And I would also like to wish all members of any Miege team the best of luck in all activities in which they participate. _ A Satisfied Sports Fan Dear Grumble Box, I would like to complain about the lunch hour. I think the student body should be given the privilege to talk to whomever they please if done in the proper manner. Thank you.

Then, the only hazard was the scare it threw into both man and animal. Now, the car is a clock- catcher and no one can catch the clock. This summer various schools participated in a traffic safety workshop at the Okla- homa State University, in Stillwell. Okla- homa. This workshop lasted from August 25 to 28 and was sponsored by the National Student Traffic Program, a subsidiary of the National Education Association. Miege was well represented with Melvin livery and John Wisner. Their first day on campus was used for registration. The sec- ond consisted of general meetings and dis- cussions concerning high school safety, the main objectives being to awaken commun- ity, state, and nation to safety. The third day included the election of officers and the final day brought adjournment and a new appreciation of student traffic safety, of which Miegians shall soon be a part. Martina and Mr. Frazier. Since the assembly centered around Senior-Fresh men day. the freshmen were given printed sheets with lines and definitions to be memorized before their hazing day. At an all school assembly, Friday Sep- tember 6, Father Sullivan told the student body that he hoped the increase in the num- ber of students would not make any student feel lost; each student should do his part to make everyone feel a part of Miege. Father pointed out that friendliness among the stu- dent body is as important to school spirit as enthusiasm at a footbal game. Dave Martin, president of Student Coun- cil, explained the purpose of Student Coun- cil; Martha Ziegelmeyer, secretary, intro- duced the new faculty members and the foreign exchange students; Terry Alley, trea- surer, told the student body about the Soc- hops and lockering privileges; and John Wis- ner, vice-president of Student Council, ex- plained the activities that the Student Coun- cil had proposed. During the sixth hour of the same day. the deans talked to the boys and girls sep- arately. Sr. Martina commented on the girls attire and reminded them that their uni- forms must be worn starting September 16. Sister also explained about the registration of cars and that a specific parking place will be assigned to each car. On September 11, after school, at the senior assembly. Mr. Byard, senior guidance director, talked briefly to the seniors about college. There was an air of excitement as Dave Martin explained what the seniore would be allowed to do on Senior-Fresh man day. Dave explained that the seniors were not supposed to embarrass the freshmen, but were to “promote a feeling of unity in the school.’ Candy McLoughlin Mutter Muddled over Miege And Old Mission Even though most of us are a little mixed up during the first few days of school, it was unusual when a young boy bounded into the of- fice and exclaimed, 1 registered here yesterday.” What is your name?” asked Sister Raymond. Mutter, Steve Mutter. M-U-T-T-E-R.” “Have you attended classes yet? Do you have your schedule?’ Sister inquired. She was answered in the negative. The boy took a seat and proceeded to wait. Sister queried, “What grade are you in? freshman, sophomore . Oh, I’m in the eighth grade.” Sister explained that this was a Senior high school. “Perhaps you want St. Agnes?’ “Well that’s not the name my mother lold me but it was on this street.” Sister Raymond politely showed him how to reach Old Mission Junior High and the boy was on his way. Oddly, he was not at all startled by our nun’s habits. Maybe he thought it was the latest vogue in teacher’s apparel. Kathy Reynolds Christianity is Challenged “Christianity is on the defensive.” laments Fr. Placid Jordan, O.S.B. in a recent article published in the Sunday Visitor. He went on to cite statistics stating that growth in enrollment of the non-Christian faiths now exceeds that of the Christian element by about 14,000,000. While these facts alone were startling enough, there was more to come. Populationwise, Christianity is not only on the bottom of the heap but is also losing ground. Fr. Jordan cited the incident in France where most of the people have been baptized, and only about five percent are still practicing their faith. He went on further to say that in Spain which is also largely a Christian country, Sunday church attendance averages about three or four percent. Later the author posed the thought provoking question: Will these people come back to the Church?” His answer: No, not unless we (the clergy and laity) listen to their pleas and bring the Faith back to them. Pat Stiles - 99 - Run! Halt! Sing! Quiet! Kneel! Stand! Welcome Frosh! Eight-thirty a. m and all was well. First hour class could go by none to fast to please the blood-thirsty seniors prepared to make their initial ambush. Nine-twenty-five — the bell sounded and they were off. Off in all directions and on all floors. These are frosh. Color them Limbo. Freshmen were caught sneaking around corners and forced to car- ry books while chanting the beloved school song. Seniors had them shining shoes, cleaning glasses, and reciting quaint definitions about themselves and their overpowering adversaries, as was the case. Sophomores and juniors couldn't help stopping to watch some of the unique performances the newcomers were so generously demanded to put on. Grotesque wasn’t the word to describe the freakish expres- sions on the faces of those less fortunate frosh who were made to eat hot peppers. On the other hand, those forced into wear- ing necklaces of onions had no sympathy for any of their class chums. Giggles from girls emerged from all corners as they peer- ed at the male chorus line kicking up a storm to the tune of “When the Stags Go Marching In. Dave Martin could not have assumed a title like President without being treated as one. He made sure freshmen were there to carry him on a chair from class to class. You might have thought you saw a dog coming up the stairs at one time, but they’re not allowed in the school. It was a leash all right; but none other than a freshman en- tangled in it. This is too much, ex- claimed one Frosh who had to carry a senior's books with his shoe laces tied together. It might have seemed impossible to swim down a hall, but none the less, it was accomplished by some champs themselves. One, rather tall, thin girl pranced down the halls, a balloon clip- ped to her hair with little fear of being laughed at. Who knows-maybe she started a new fashion craze. Senior Mike McCormick keeps a tight grip on his leash and gives orders to his freshman slave” Cheryl. New on Faculty Express Ideas Among the many new additions to Miege this year are twelve new faculty members. The English department heads the number with four new teach- ers; Sister Gerard, Miss Jeanne Falke, Miss Barbara Wewers, and Mr. William Rost. Mias Falke and Miss Wewers teach the freshmen English I and Communication Arts I, and Mr. Rost teaches English II and III. Sis- ter Gerard also teaches Latin I and Business English. Girls physical education is taught by Miss Lynn Rose Hager who previously taught at Leavenworth High School. Miss Hager stated, “The school spirit is great and the girls in my classes co-operate well.” Miss Carole Grotz teaches General Science, and Algebra I and II. Mr. Leon Schwerdtfeger teaches the biology students. Freshmen and seniors are getting to know their new religion teach- er. the Reverend Anthony Blaufuss, who along with Father Forge at- tended the Catholic University in Washington and he had previously taught at Hayden High School. Father Blaufuss's comment about the school was, The students' charity is shown by the awareness they have for each other. Other new teachers include Mrs. Mary Iturralde, who teaches Spanish I and II, Miss Kathleen Sullivan, Social Studies and World History, Mr. William Reardon, American History and psychology, and Mr. P. J. O’Connell, logic. Patti Ward After Years and Miles Students Remeet It's not odd for two girls to start first grade together and enter high school together except when first grade is at St. Mary's in Orange, Texas, and high school is Bishop Miege in Kansas City, Kansas, over a thousand miles apart. Two freshmen, Frances Dean Wisneski and Jean Elizabeth McAvoy have done just that. Another surprise is that Frances and Jean have five classes together. irk ((©wjiwdL by Henry Robinson Morton The Cardinal is the fascinating story of a priest’s rapid rise to the station of prince of | the Catholic Church. The story begins with Father Stephen Fermayle’s return to America from Rome and follows his career. It gives a vivid picture of the life of a parish priest. Sometimes it is happy, sometimes it is sad, but it is never boring. As secretary to Cardinal Gibbons, Stephen learns how a great diocese operates. This experience helps him a great deal when he is named Bishop of Hartford. His problems are typical of all bishops but many of them are new to Stephen and his way of coping with them is ingenious and sometimes amusing. When he is appointed Cardinal and is present at the election of the Pope, it is a turning point toward friendlier relations between Rome and the American Church. This is a story that shows that priests are very human, with normal human reactions and temptations. The reader feels that Stephen is a genuine man of God. It is a book for all people, Catholic and non-Catholic, to enjoy. Noni Ludwig 100 - Faculty Members Relate Experiences During the summer vacation Stater Mari- anne attended the National Catholic Coun- cil of Home Economics at Mount St. Scho- lastica in Atchison, and the National Coun- cil of Home Economics here in Kansas City, Mo. When questioned about the councils. Sister replied, “The growing need of home economics was greatly stressed.” This year a change has taken place in the home economics department. Home- making, previously only a semester course, is offered now for a full year. To celebrate the change and the beginning of a new school year, a party in the homemaking classes was held on the first day. Punch and cookies were served. Mr. Moritz, who is already well versed on the subject of history, spent part of his summer learning some more. He studied at the New Mexico Highlands University, Ijis Vegas, New Mexico, on a Coe Foundation fellowship in their American studies pro- grams. It consisted of American History and American Government. Well-known to the sophomores, biology’ students and a few football players, but lit- tle known to the rest of the student body, is Miege’s new Biology teacher. Mr. Leon Schwedtfeger. When queried about his feel- ings toward Miege, he said that he was very happy to be here. He said that he had been shown nothing but the highest courtesy by all the students. School spirit was another thing which impressed Mr. Schwedtfeger— it carries from the students in the hall to football players on the field.” A sidetrack from Mr. Schwedtfeger’s interests in school is his interest and ability in ballroom danc- ing. He is an accomplished dancer. Mother Nature has been sketched lately by the seventy-nine art students in Art I and II. In the future the students will work in different media—pastels, water colors, and oils will be some of the different media used. Sister Clarice is the art instructor. Sister Dolores announced that for the first time at Miege some of the freshmen math students are using a new program of learning math. “Modern Mathematics a programmed textbook, is being used along with the old book, allowing the student to progress at his own speed. Some of the advantages that this pro- gram presents are that the student can cover the work in his own time, and the student may start in geometry immediately after completing algebra in the same year. This program has proven very successful in other schools. Frosh enjoy the mixer in their honor. Justice Reigns and Fun Prevails The night of Friday the thirteenth brought much unrest to the crowds of green-hatted, sign-tagged freshmen as they warily awaited their rendezvous with the heavy -hand of justice. The bewitching hour came some- where between the hours of 7:30 and 10:30 when the Welcome Mixer presented by the Student Council saw the mock court trial of those belligerent freshmen who caused trouble during the two days of hazing As the trial ended, so too did the initiation of the freshmen, and the student body resumed dancing. Bob Griffin and his lady dance partner provided the evening’s entertainment. A professional dance instructor, Mr. Griffin advertises his work by appearing at the local high school mixers and offering a night of fun with his direction and supervision. The mixer closed on a happy note with the student body feeling more united, and several remarks were heard to the effect that the mixers were getting better all the time. This is a hopeful prospect that could mean a great start to an even greater year. Pam Atchity Stag Crowned Queen Cheers and applause burst forth when Janean Harnden, senior, was picked from a field of sixteen students to reign as queen at the Prairie Village Back To School” fes- tival. The candidates were chosen by their student councils and represented the three Shawnee Missions and Miege. Voting was held through the Prairie Scout. At the crowning ceremony on August 16, Janean was presented with a bouquet of roses and a one hundred dollar gift certifi- cate. Other candidates from Miege were Mary Kay Conry, Mike Bader, and Dennis Harris Betty Gail Wartman “We Show Christ. . .” Religiousness consists in holiness, not in smugness. This statement describes the spirit of the talk given by Miss Chirveno to Sister Immaculatas 5B religion class. Her talk concerned an “institute” held in Salina three yeas ago. This institute was. as Miss Chirveno explained simply a group of people living together in the holiest way possible.” This institute consisted of twenty-five people of high school and college age giving three weeks of their summer to try to tie in God with their life. One of the projects of this institute was the taking of a census of the vicinity and trying to project to the parishioners this idea of holiness. The cen- sus brought in three converts to the church and united the parishioners of the Salina area in a feeling of oneness with each other. In summation. Miss Chirveno told what the individual can do to promote this feel- ing. If we live our lives the holiest and best way we know how, we are doing what God wants us to do because we are showing Christ through ourselves by our example. This talk was one of the projects the class planned for the purpose of learning more of the specialized work done by the Church in promoting unity. Wisner Qualifies In National Merit Placing in the top % of students through- out the nation, John Wisner qualified as a Semifinalist in the Na- tional Merit Scholar- ship Qualifying Test. The test was given to more than 15,000 high schools last spring. John will take a second test in December and if his score on this test confirms the score on the qualifying test, he will become a National Merit Finalist. As a Semifinalist, John’s college scholar- ship opportunities are increased. Some 13,000 Semifinalists are selected on the basis of their scores on the NMSQT. This number constitutes less than two-thirds of one percent of the nation's graduating secondary school population. ads . YEARBOOK . ads Who will be queen of the Miegian annual this year?

At the meet- ing Michele Arnold, sophomore, was ap- pointed as vice-president of the District I, Northeast Kansas Branch of the associa- tion. Linda Thompson, sophomore, was ap- pointed secretary. President is Bob Hope from Topeka High. Approximately 200 stu- dents attended the meeting. At 7:54 A.M. the intersection light at U. S. Highway 50 and Antioch Hoad was green, and the bus started across. Suddenly all thoughts were directed on one thing -- the white 1959 Sedan about to crash into the side of the bus. The car collided with the bus with the impact causing the bus to top- ple over on its side and block the intersec- tion. Comments from the startled passengers ran from fear to relief: “Books were flying all over the place.” I said a prayer because that is all I could think of to do. We were all shook up.” “I was relieved to find out nobody was hurt very badly.” There were injuries, though not serious. Peter lacerated his scalp and Mike scraped his arm during the fall. Another bus picked up the students and they arrived at school for their first day. It was an alarming be- ginning but thankfully not a tragic one. “But in a Larger Sense...” Four weeks and five days ago our seniors brought forth in this school a new class, conceived in homework, and dedicated to the fact that all studies are rough. Now they are engaged in a great scholastic battle, testing whether that homework, or any work so con- ceived and so dedicated can long endure. They have met in a great scholastic strife in the Miege gym. They have come to dedicate a portion of our gym as a cheer- ing place for those who did their homework that others mignt have their chance. It is altogether fitting and proper that they should do this. But, in a larger sense, they cannot dedicate - they cannot consecrate - they cannot hallow this gym. The brave students, graduated and ungraduated, who have studied here, have consecrated it far above their power. Miege will little note nor long remember what they said here, but it can never forget what they DID here. It is for they, the seniors, rather, to be here de- dicated to the unfinished homework which they who studied here previously have thus far so nobly advanc- ed. It is rather for the seniors to be here learning - as those before them - that from these honored halls they shall take increased knowledge for which others gave their last full measure of studying; that they should re- solve that these halls shall not die; that this school, under God, shall have a new birth of knowledge; and that this school of Miege, by the students and for the students, shall not perish from the earth.

Fresh material has poured into our library with the addition of 1,089 exciting new books which were acquired during the course of the last school year. And that’s not all. Sr. Juliana has plans to add 3,000 more be- fore this year is over! But where is she go- ing to put them? Well, all this has already been solved, as in the near future seven double-faced stacks are to be installed in the rear of the library to accommodate these new volumes. The books consist of a well- balanced collection of new and basic types in every area. Other new additions consist of a complete set of Colliers Kncyclopedia. a six-volume set of the Album of American History, and a seven-volume set of the Dic- tionary of American History-all of which were donated by the Student Council. The Student Council, itself holding a deep inter- est in the welfare of the library, also donated twenty-six popular magazines never before subscribed to at Miege. In order that the student himself may benefit more by use of the library, now more adequate than ever in the past, the faculty has designed a way for him spend more class time in the library. Though Sr. Juliana still feels the library is far from being complete, it is a great step forward toward the final goal. Nancy Tremble Book Bounce As Bus Flips It was a hot, muggy first day of school, and like all first days, it carried an air of ex- pectancy, an element of surprise. The students on bus 2 of the Lewis Bus Line were thinking of many things. Mike Schneider and Jerry Sullivan were looking forward to their first “real” day at Miege. Peter Schneider, Mike’s brother, and Tresa Bowers were anxious to see their friends whom they hadn't seen since the end of school. Tim Huckaby was rather disgusted by the fact that the bus was twenty min- utes late, but he, too was eager to get to school. - 102 • Tryouts Held; B-Team Squad Completed “I can’t believe I got it,” were the words expressed by Fat Corcoran and Mary Hose Venneman after being chosen by the Pep Club. (Helen Hennier, Pres.) as the freshmen cheerleaders. They will complete the B- Team squad under Nancy Miller as captain. Tryouts were held September 20 in the gym where 46 freshmen girls tried out. Each girl tried out with a different cheer. The girls were judged on appearance, smile, actions, personality and pep. Debbie Spurk and Patti Dugan, the other sophomore cheerleaders together with Nan- cy had practices three times a week this past summer. They went over the old cheers and made up some new ones for the coming season. The cheerleading uniforms have been changed, for the new ones will have white inserts in the skirts. New pom-poms and megaphone necklaces were also purchased. The B-Team cheerleaders ask this of the students: ‘‘We are hoping that the enthusiasm shown by the Stags during Miege's past his- tory will be shown again not only for our varsity but for our future victorious B- Team.’ Pam Sposato Stags Down Titans Sparked by a 78 yard punt return by fleet Tommy Gera hty, Miege squeezed by De La Salle 14-13, whipping the Titans for the first time in 4 years. The contest was played be- fore a large but late arriving crowd at Ward field September 20. The skittering scoring sprint by Geraghty was proceeded in the quarter by a touch- down set up by a De La Salle fumble. After a good kick off return by Tom Hammond, fullback Dave Martin galloped 48 yards to the Titan four. The elevens then exchanged fumbles with the Stags keeping possession. Martin bulled in from the four. Both extra point runs were good as the Stags scored all their points in the second period. De La Salle had scored early in the quarter, the red lights of the score board showing 14 for Miege, 7 for the Titans. De La Salle came out for blood after in- termission and picked up big chunks of yard- age on a one-man screen play and a scramb- ling run by quarterback Mike McGuire. Floyd May cracked in for the score but the extra point run was stopped and the score stood at 14-13. Later in the quarter Martin picked up a first down to the 35 but the stubborn Tit- an line held, forcing the Stags to punt. The tense situation called for brilliance and Jim Garner responded to the call in admirable fashion. The lanky end booted the ball out of bounds on the nine, forcing the Titans to operate with their backs to the wall. Mike Bader promptly picked off an er- rant McGuire toss, but penalties forced the Stags to punt again. Another long Garner boot bounced out of the arms of the Titan deep man and Bill Hayden pounced on the ball to ice up the game for the Stags.

Dominic Bouchez Visits Miege Miege was visited by another member of the Bouchez family on September 18.- Domynyque, Chris's older brother. Many of the upper classmen will remember Chris, the exchange student of two years ago. Domynyque is just finishing a three- month tour of the U.S. He landed in New York the beginning of July and from there went to Louisville, Kentucky, where he stay- ed for six weeks learning from the people in the City Hall. During the 18-day interval between his leaving Louisville and his arrival in Kansas City, Domynyque and some friends drove to the West Coast. They visited the Black Hills. Wyoming, Salt Lake City, and Yel- lowstone Park. Los Angeles and San Fran- cisco (where he stayed for several nights with a beach hermit) were among his last stops before leaving the coast. Since he is going into his last year of college, Disney- land was not too exciting for him, but it was quite interesting.” A great compliment was given by Domynyque about the scenery in the U.S. It’s natural; tourists have not spoiled it. He said Americans would pro- bably appreciate the rivers and mountains more if they lived in a country where these were not quite as abundant. Domynque has one more year of business college before going into the banking or in- surance business. His brother, Chris, has at least seven more years of schooling before he becomes a resident doctor. Chris is at- tending the University of Lilia in northern France. Chris had formerly told Domynyque many stories of his being in the U.S. and going to the wonderful school Miege” and for Domynyque seeing is believing. Diane Orr ‘‘It is important that the Seniors see me in the beginning of the year and not hesi- tate in coming, said Mr. Byard, College Guidance Counselor. He went further to say that it was important that the Seniors think seriously about their futures. Mr. Byard’s doors are open to all Seniors at his office in the Sacristy every morning and afternoon. The Senior Bulletin Board, where the dates of all tests will be posted, is by the main office, where appointments can be made for talks with Mr. Byard. Until the second semester, when he will discuss post-high school plans with the Jun- iors. Mr. Byard will talk just to Seniors, whether college-bound, seeking employment, or going into the service. The Senior Gui- dance Director's job is mainly to keep in- formation on all national tests, securing col- lege applications, and advising students about different colleges. Besides the pamph- lets and information Mr. Byard has in his office, there is also a new section in the li- brary where students can find books on col- leges and careers. College Day. which Mr. Byard is organizing, will take place Novem- ber 27. Stuco Pres. Reports Dave Martin, Student Council president, set out by jet for Ann Arbor, Michigan late in June of this past summer. His purpose was to attend the 27th Annual Convention of Student Councils of America. Dave was one of 850 delegates represent- ing every state (except Hawaii and Alaska) at the convention which was held from June 23-27. Besides Miege three other area high schools were present. They were Shawnee Mission North, Washington and Winfield. The opening address was given by the president of the convention, Tom Morrow. Tom is a senior at Ann Arbor High School, headquarters for the convention. He stres- sed the importance of Student Councils and their purpose. The first three days conferences were held and such topics as Student Council life, money making and social habits of students were discussed. General sessions, which everyone attended presented influential speakers. One of these was Senator Edward Muskie of Maine, who gave a talk on Civil Rights. Dave was in charge of a group discussing, Why student councils should prepare an annual report. Entertainment was provided for the dele- gates and included a dance, the Ann Arbor High School band, a choral group, and a trip by bus to the Ford Foundation where they visited the museum. - 103 - Again! The above was a recorded announcement often so many times by a certain football coach with horned-rimmed glasses, a new daughter, and scores of frustrated Biology students—no names mentioned. Run it again!” are those immortal blasts which screech in the air, ring in the ear, and obliterate the eardrums that many a weary, trodden-upon, body-bruised Miege football player has constantly heard and has fixed in his mind as a sound deep laidened and prone to ex- haustion. Yes!! It’s football season once again. And, as you know, our boys-in-pads have been diligently practicing for weeks (and it seems like years) for our many illus- trious rivals whom we all hate and despise (not really- it just helps) and with whom we will share many a fur- ious fist-lashing forearm, numerous slugs, hits, scratches, pinches, bites, poked eyes, ear twisting, smashed noses—plus a little brisk body contact. This and much more fun is on the planned agenda for this football season. Now to the typical day of one of our mangled martyrs of the football field: Morning: He rises slowly out of bed. Those injuries re- ceived from the previous evening on the gridiron seems to linger on-- such as that stiff back, twisted ankle, casted neck, and that cut upper lip which makes break- fast hurt a little which you try to avoid by munching the food on your back lower palet. Dress. Think of to- night’s football practice (yuick). Then, to school. School: There’s a big congregation before school be- gins. You talk about football, school, girls, weekends, mostly football. Then someone mentions that practice is in 7 hours, 32 minutes, and 27 seconds. Stone him! School is a big drag, but passes quickly because the thoughts of practice bring you near. Little attention to studies. Limp up stairs. Limp down. See Coach in hall. Smile. Say something unforseen under breath. Trod on. Sleep a little during classes. Thoughts of football prac- tice (ick). Eat a spare lunch. Dread practice. Attempt to study—forgotten quickly. More sleep—less study. Teacher tells joke. Must laugh. Teacher is Coach. Mumble something bad under breath. School is out at last. Locker. Thoughts of practice. Walk girl down the hall. Look around corners for coaches. Walk and talk. Try to smile. Can’t-practice is near. Longingly say farewell to everyone. Trod on to locker room. Locker Room: Now that we have our grand and glor- ious new locker room, we don’t have to put up with the rat den over at St. Agnes. No longer do your stiff, smelly, sweaty, filthy practice clothes run off the hang- er and cling to you as you enter. No-now you have to open your specially assigned combination locker before they attack. You wearily take your school clothes off and put on those unmentionably rotten, algae-embed- ded practice clothes, which stick, are sweaty, wet, stink far beyond the high heavens, and make you feel very unclean and need of a bath. Then, into the tape room you go to get mummied up. As two noted Coaches once have said: “Tape cures all injuries” and “Does it hurt much? Oh! Well put some tape on it to stop the bleeding, get back to practice, and the doctor will see you tomorrow.” Practice: All are congregated in so-called specialty groups to improve the skills of the individual player before practice. Man in baby blue cap comes up. Blows whistle. A moan of dread. Two laps. Run slow. Con- serve energy. Now to calisthenics! Run some more. Agility drills (ick). Sweat. Breathe. Perspire. Mud. Groan. Yell. Run plays against dummies. In back- ground constantly playing “Run it again! Run it a- gain!” Faster. Gasp. Quicker. Breathe. Work. Whistle. Trod on. Very tired. Split up again and hit and block and tackle and hit. Groan. Whistle. Perspire. Dirt-ick. Scrape and scratch. Whistle. Scrimmage. Hit. Pound. Lick lips. Constantly playing “Run it again.” Gasp. Breathe. Sweat. Groan. Extremely tired. Block, tackle, fall. Hurt. Pain. Run. Get hit. “Run it again.” Get tackled. Agony. Perspire, Breathe, perspire, Can’t make it. Almost dead.... and then- windsprints. Run, breathe, run, perspire, run, gasp, run, and then—those long awaited words from the heavens. “Take it in.” After due deliberation and fully thinking the entire matter over— you faint. Now seriously, this year your Miege football team has and will work hard for the name of the team, stu- dents, and most important-- the school. They help support you, so why not get behind them, give them a few rahs, a cheer, a yell, and a push on to a victorious season and a good strong foundation for this successful spirited school year. Tom Geraghty Intrasquad-Gold Defeats Blue Led by a hard-charging line and the determined running of Tom Geraghty, the Gold team defeated the Blue 26-0 in the annual intra-squad game. Geraghty and quarterback Jim Grabenhorst combined for four touchdowns—each getting two. Dave Martin ran over for the two extra points. On defense a spirited Gold line completely stymied the Blue offensive attack. Led by Junior guard Ron Theis and Senior tackle Mike Hickey, the Blue was re- peatedly forced to punt on fourth downs. Co-captain Mike Bader, Senior ends Tom Dwyer and Jim Gamer, and Junior tackle Dick Wall stood out on defense for the Gold. As for the Blue, there were a few outstanding in- dividual performances, but a definite lack of team ef- fort was evident. Tom Hammond and Dennis Harris looked good on offense, while Dave Depping and soph- omore Jim Chanowski played well on defense. One sad note to the game was that Junior halfback Terry Alley suffered a dislocated elbow and will be out for three weeks. John Wall 104 - Vol. 6 No. 2-Bishop Miege H.S. Shawnee Mission, Kansas-Oct. 31, 1963 Juniors Take PSAT On October 16, juniors were faced with a common problem that is faced by juniors each year: the annual PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Tests). These tests are given to juniors to determine whether or not the students are able to attend the college of their choice. They are divided into two groups: math, which is based on two and a half years of math, and vocabulary. Stu- dents were told to “brush-up or flunk-out!“; but due to the highly scholastic tenor of the junior class, not too many “brushed-up.” After the tests, one slightly paled junior was heard to say: “Gee, I wonder if we get a refund!” Bob Clifford students take part in liturgy ‘‘Christ, our God and Brother, hear our humble plea!” On Friday, October 4, 220 seniors and a sprinkling of underclassmen raised their voices in praise as they partici- pated in Miege’s first Eucharistic Celebra- tion of the year. Fr. Blaufuss acted as com- mentator and advisor to the student com- mittee who dealt with details. Fr. Sullivan was celebrant of the Mass. The theme (Christ, our God and Brother) was aptly expressed by the Offertory hymn which was sung by all participants. At the Offertory of the Mass, two of the senior rings were solemnly offered to repre- sent the students, their goals, and the hu- man covenant with God. Characterizing the entire celebration was the spirit of renewal and unity. Principal Spotlights Role of Stuco i The highlight of the first official Student Council meeting of the year held on Sep- tember 26, was Fr. Sullivan's talk concern- ing his attitude and that of the faculty, on Student Council and its functions. Father gave this brief, but concise, defi- nition of Student Council: Student Council is the student body governing itself. By this is meant that the students elect cap- able and responsible people as representa- tives who in turn govern the student body. Student Council exists because of the powers delegated to it by the faculty and administration. Its existence is a privilege and so the school must accept it as one. Father also mentioned that the representa- tives vote not only for the wishes of their constituents but for their own as well. This was compared to Congress, which acts for the citizens' and their own needs. Father asked for an assurance that the students understand this type of govern- ment. Just because a proposal is voted in by the Student Council that some students don’t like, it does not mean that those stu- dents should push it aside and not comply, but should show good citizenship, accept it, and let it be for their benefit. In the past, Student Council could not function to its maximum potential because the students didn't accept this concept. To make Student Council a success, the students must accept their representatives' decisions. If they do this, they will be given more privileges and surely all will benefit and be happier. WIPpY - Bit ■ - Mt Frosh-Soph Accept Posts As Class Officers The freshman class is destined to be one of Miege’s finest. They came to the school with fresh new ideas and a spirit that reminds the upperclassmen of their frivolous “frosh days. Bob Clifford, now playing on the freshman football squad, has the duty of proving what a freshman class can do. Vice-president Tom Koob, Secretary Kathy Chase, andTreasurer Bill Weiss have to help Bobby narness their class's spirit for the betterment of the school. The sophomores have been here one year. They are beginning to feel like a cornerstone, which each of the four classes actually is, in Miege's construction. John Gillie, a newcomer to authority, is the sophomores' fearless leader. It will be his duty to guide the spirited product of split ses- sions. Bill Van Hecke, vice-president, is now enjoying his second term. Suzy Linton, put up for office on her birthday, remembers September 23 as the day she became secretary. Bill Noonan, a participant in foot- ball, basketball and track, keeps tab on the soph purse strings.

Let the Band Play The phrase, “1 wish we had a band,” is a well known and frequently quoted saying with which all are quite familiar. But the time has come at last when these words will no longer ring a hollow wish. At the beginning of the school year, Father Sullivan was asked by an enthusiastic Stag, Judy Zamparelli for permission to start a band. Permission was granted. At the present time, the band is holding practice sessions after school. Judy says, “With a little more support and experience, the band has possibilities of becoming a real success.” Any Stag interested in joining the band, contact Judy Zamparelli or Carolyn Chrzan- owski.

So now that we are gathered together, let us take care not to be isolated in ourselves.” Better World Youth Day held at Loretto Academy began with this thought. Sister Venard, principal of Loretto, gave the welcoming speech to students representing the area schools, including Miege. She hoped that the day would give a blueprint of love.” Sister Gabriel, psychology teacher at Loretto, gave the address “You and the Better World,” in which she said: ‘‘The first step to- wards making a better world is an increase of love of oneself. We can work on this self-concept by believing this truth: we are children of God. How can a God so perfect create something that isn't good? At the close of this session, the students were divided into groups for collective meditation. A passage from Scripture was read, then a short silence allowed for the actual meditation, after which followed a discussion period where a practical application was formed. Following this was a panel discussion on interracial justice with representatives from three minority groups. Mr. Sidney Lawrence of the Jewish Community Center spoke for the Jew, Mr. Frank Smith of Central Missouri State College represented the Negro, and Mr. Lionel Aguilar from TWA was concerned with the Latin American. Each was asked what sort of discrimination he was confronted with and what the average student could do about it. Mr. Smith spoke first: The Negro is barred from social activities. They can’t belong to pools or country clubs. What you can do is get In Defense of Humanity In early October, the Jewish Community Center held a panel dis- cussion concerning racial issues. Miss Jean Glenn led the discussion with the statement that not enough attention has been given to the Problem. The keynote speaker was Mr. John Howard Griffin, author of Black Like Me. Mr. Griffin recounted a number of incidents he exper- ienced as a white Negro” in his travels through the Deep South. “I’m not pro-white or pro-Negro, I’m pro-human.” (This statement should show us, as Christians, how to look at the problem. There are no quali- fications on the quote from the Bible, Love thy neighbor as thyself. ) Mr. Griffin told of the poverty and misery which exists in Negro families today. For example: Mr. Griffin was staying with a Negro family while on his stay in the south. At night he and the father of the family slept in the kitchen. Mr. Griffin asked him why his chil- dren were so lively and bright-eyed, w hile his and wife’s eyes were so burnt-out. The father just replied. They don’t know yet.” Know what? They don’t know they’re Negroes.” Mr. Rodarte represented another minority group, the Mexicans. He said that the Mexicans in Kansas City do not have the problem of discrimination that the Negroes experience. Many are men of status. Another guest was Kansas City’s Mayor Davis. The mayor point- ed out that Kansas City was considered the heart-beat of the nation and then asked, “Does this heart beat just for the white people or does it beat for all of us?” He also said that the wealth of this country is tied up in the people. “No man can use his talents solely for himself.” Our country will become poor if anyone is denied the right to use his talents, he added. Mr. Swinton was the Negro representative and president of the NAACP here in Kansas City. Opposition to Negroes holding certain jobs or accepting them in social life were called defects in American democracy. Mr. Swinton made his speech short, but to the point. Negros are growing impatient— “If the colonists had waited for some- thing to happen, we would still be under British rule today.” Diane Orr “HIM MdT II JEW EYES?...” your parents to vote for the Public Housing Bill.” Mr. Aguilar spoke next. ‘‘Latin Americans are discriminated against most in the field of educational opportunities. A solution is the education of Latin American Youth.” Mr. Lawrence spoke last“Prejudice exists in the mind of the in- dividual for no apparent reason. The Jews are neither a race nor a re- ligion. The only solution is getting out and knowing more Jews.” A question and answer period followed, in which the question arose regarding what'is meant by personal merit. The question was di- rected to Mr. Smith, who answered with a story about a little Negro boy who went up to a balloon salesman and asked how high each of the various colored balloons could go. The man answt-red that since they were all filled with helium, one could go as high as another. “Son, it doesn’t matter what the color is on the outside, it’s what is inside that counts. Mr. Lawrence retorted: Who’s to determine what goes into a person? Society causes the individual to grow the way he does and then blames him for it.” After the discussion, another collective meditation followed. Fin- ally, the students gathered for a Mass with full participation by the congregation. The day ended on the note with which it began. Where charity and love preside, there is God.” Debbie Linton BLACK LIKE ME john howard griffin Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin is a re- vealing, almost startling, expose of the plight of the black man in the South. Griffin is able to give a first- hand report of this situation because he darkened his skin and actually lived as a Negro. The most startling fact revealed is the white Southerner’s contradictory attitude toward the Negro. The white man tolerates, even solicits the business of the Negro consumer; the Negro can easily buy any article in any store in Alabama, but he might have to walk a mile or more to use the facilities of a restroom. Another point brought dramatically to the surface is the regard which the Negro holds for his fellows. Realizing that he is often considered as less than the dirt upon which he walks, he tries to show extraor- dinary courtesy and love for other Negroes. Griffin feels that he does this in a desperate attempt to regain his self-respect as member of the human race. If you want a subjective insight into the Negro crisis, I suggest you read Black Like Me. John Wall - 107 - FORUM: on Communism by pat stiles In recent years the citizens of the U.S. have become increasingly aware of the threat presented them by com- munism. We’ve heard facts and opinions from men all the way from Joe McCarthy to Herbert Hoover. We are also fa- miliar with the most com- mon tactics employed by the communist in the cold war-lulling the populace into a complacency, sub- version. and appeal to the restless youth of a coun- jjm try. Since the attack is concentrated on us. a series of interviews was conducted, exacting the opinions of the typical Miegian “man on the street” on the ques- tion: How should the gov- ernment deal with com- munists in this country? When first posed with the question, Jim Brock (junior) was vehement: Kick ’em out; they’re a detriment to the govern- ment!” later his tone was modified: If a person is discovered to be a party member, he should be de- George Brink ported. Top men should be deported with no hope of returning.” When queried concerning the problem of this being contrary to our democratic prin- ciples, his answer was: Sure it is—but so is com- munism!” George Brink (senior) was in full agreement: Deport ’em; it’s the quickest way to get it done---either that or de- clare open season on ’em.” Debbie Linton (junior) even had a plan for it all: Their percentage of the population should be found. If they try to ex- tend their influences. . .they shouldn't be allowed to hold public meetings.” In every crowd there seems to be a dis- senter, John Goldrick (sen- ior) fits this spot admira- bly well. He felt that they (the government) can’t even begin to regulate it; it has come too far.” The question seems to boil down to two sides: Should we forsake the democratic principles (of speech, press, assembly) in favor of safety (from communism) or endanger John Goldrick our position (as a demo- cracy) to preserve our ideals? It’s YOUR choice. Debbie Linton EDlTORiHLs in pursuit. . . I saw a man pursuing the horizon; Round and round they sped. I was disturbed at this; I accosted the man. ‘It is futile,’ I said, ‘You can never —’ ‘You lie,’ he cried And ran on. --Stephen Crane In truth, the horizon can never be reached because it is only the visible division be- tween earth and sky. The horizon was a goal to the man in the poem and he thought, that like any other goal, it was a limit in itself. But any goal, like the horizon, is in- finite and leads on to more things, thinp too immense even to comprehend. Any goal, like the horizon, is only the apparent division between what we are and what we would like to be. The more we think we attain our goals, the higher and farther away our realization of these goals become. Our ideas change with each new striving. The horizon is infinite; so must our capacity for reaching this horizon be unlimited by disappointments and failures. The attainment of a goal is limited only by our inability to see and then reach be- yond it. Debbie Linton for freshmen: a challenge The purpose of a school is the education of the whole person by the provision of an atmosphere in which the student can ad- vance in scholarship, character, leadership, and service. There is an organization for students who have taken advantage of this opportunity for self-advancement. It is called the National Honor Society. New members are installed during their junior year in a special ceremony which is attended by the entire student body. The qualifications for membership are that the student maintain a B-average at the semes- ter throughout his high school career and that he acquire at least seven activity points. The candidate must then be approved by a vote of two-thirds of the faculty members. I have described the purpose of a school and have introduced the National Honor Society to you. Now I offer you the chal- lenge to fulfill these requirements and be- come a part of this very special organization. Anne Sexton How do we look in the eyes of the world? We, as A mericans, should be very con- scious of the picture we present to the people of the world. I was reminded of this when Sergio Ce- reza, one of our for- eign exchange stu- dents, gave his thank-you speech to the student body at the first assembly. He thanked us for our friendliness and said that he liked our school. Why can't we give more people the true impression of A merican friendli- ness? Why must the phrase “Go ho me, Yank!” be to some the only English words they know? In my three-year stay in Engl an d, I realized that the bust- ling, curious, camera- laden, demanding tourists left a very bad taste in the mouths of ot her peoples. The good impression left by some considerate Americans is wiped out by most of the tourist trade. There is no reason for the wall of hostility that has been built be- tween America and the other nations! The responsibility of showing the true American falls heav- ily on the American in other countries. We must at all times re- member we are only guests. But this burden shouldn't fall only into the arms of the American traveler. It falls on you and me! What right have we to soil the name of Amer- ica? We believe that America is a good na- tion--so why can't we act like the kind of person these people can like and admire as a fellow human? For example, how can these nations think we are decent and have high standards if we send over the kind of movies that we do. These movies are some of the few ways by which the foreigner can see what American life is like. It is our duty to improve the standards of our books and movies, welcome the stranger to our country, and display good manners in foreign coun- tries.

TIREMT, R PHRT OF THE mum.” -JnHH BdNHE - 108 - Love Makes the Difference If you’re prejudiced, Christianity isn’t for you. All the qualities found in our religion can be found to some extent in other faiths. Jews are moral, Bud- hists have great peace of mind, Mohammedans have strong beliefs. We share almost all qualities that men look for in religion, all, that is, but one. We’d call it love, except that the word has come to mean something that we paste on a billboard to sell soap and gasoline. We’d call it charity, except that that means a middle-aged matron dispensing goodies to aged derelicts. What can this quality be called? For one thing, it’s a virtue. When the Latins wanted to de- scribe a good person, they said that he had “virtue” and the word meant “virile strength.” So love and charity, rather than being qualities taught by a gentle, soft-handed Christ in a baby-blue robe,are manly qual- ities put forth by a prophet, by the God- Man who was a carpenter. So if we can’t love, we’re barking up the wrong tree if we try to adhere to Catholicism, be- cause we violate its essential factor. Once we have this charity, what can we do with it?All too often we sit in our comfortable classrooms and in order to get a passing grade in religion affirm with much vigor the statement that we should all love one another. We may even indulge in a very gratifying self- flagellation by admitting openly that we are preju- diced. Of course we always leave with a “clean” feel- ing. But we haven’t loved. We can’t love by talking, we can’t solve the hatred that is tearing our nation apart by publicly accusing ourselves of prejudice in order that others may see how open-minded we are. We can do no good if we dispense this “cotton candy Christianity” that adorns nursery walls and never acts. John Wisner Reach up and We were taught early in our lives to read, but it seems that many persons have never really learned how to assimilate those words that pass beneath their eyes; t hat is, if those words have even been given a chance to be read. We have been given minds, minds that can climb to the sun like a plant if given the proper food. The written word is one type of men- tal food. It brings the mind knowledge through the beauty of language. And it brings truth. It represents the freedom of men's minds to seek truth. That is why Hitler burned books; that is why communism fears the freedom of the press. Truth. Dictators fear truth because truth would eventually destroy them. But even “free individuals can fear truth because truth brings many responsibilities; truth says that there are many things in the world (including ourselves I that need changing; truth says that we have to change them. “Men have loved the darkness rather than the light. (John 3:19) But for those who hate illusion, for those who don't prefer the The Grumble Box is a “letters-to-the editor” col- umn. It is an opportunity given to students to express their views concerning school, national, or internation- al affairs. It is not a column to be used for petty minds to air their personal grievances. (Perhaps the title has been misleading). It is not a column for students to hide behind in making cowardly attacks. It is not a column for students to use to pose non-existent “prob- lems,” or problems that exist only in the minds of the maladjusted. Just complaints are acted upon in Stu- dent Council; the homeroom representatives will pre- sent them there. The Miegian will not print 1,000 copies of the paper to let one or two people know that they are displeasing others. It is much more economi- cal and loyal for the “others” to tell the one or two personally. Students are members of a society. They must be alert to society’s needs, to school needs, to community needs, to national and international needs. They must have ideas and opinions- this is the backbone of demo- cracy. Do you have any opinions on Madame Nhu’s visi- tation here in America? Are you aware of the issues being discussed and changes coming out of the Ecu- menical Council? Are you aware of the educational op- portunities afforded you as a student at Miege, the high scholastic standards? Do you have an opinion on a book that has been published, on a film that has been shown,on an article that has been written? The letters- to-the-editor column gives you an opportunity to THINK, to form OPINIONS, and to EXPRESS your opinions as citizens. Grab the Sun darkness, for those who want to accept responsibility, let them first seek truth in the written word, sorting out the true from that which isn’t true. Let them listen to those who have been given the talent for ex- pressing themselves better than others, to those who have been given a keener insight into the nature of God and His creatures, to those who have a message. Let them listen to other men - and to God, for God has chosen the written word as a means to reveal Himself to mankind. Let no one think that the written word isn’t powerful. It has the power to change people - for better or for worse. Rather, it has the power only if the reader co-operates and puts forth some effort. So it is up to man to climb like that plant to the sun. This is the challenge of the written word. For the sake of humanity, accept it. Anne Sexton - 109 - Kollege Korner The various expressions on these parents' faces manifest the intense enthusiasm they felt for their return to school. PTO-Parents-class schedules-confusion Missing classrooms-Elevator shafts ‘‘Where’s room 29?” “Which way is it to the elevator?” A sample of the typical re- marks heard at the P T O meeting held on the night of September 30, as parents scur- ried about Miege's hallowed halls to their offsprings’ various classes. “Room 29!” repeated Mr. Eugene Sal- mons. American History teacher from Zook, Kansas. “Some poor son of a gun’s going to spend 5th hour in the janitor’s closet.” One parent confronted with a schedule in which three of the six classes were marked cafeteria, ambled down the hall raving about “choppin’ someone’s head off when she got home.’’ And it was not at all unusual fora parent, right in the middle of one class, to decide he was in the wrong room and to spring up and dash away to another. But it wasn’t only the parents who were confused. Father Sullivan's little “pep talk to the parents simplified nothing. He explain- ed that if they had any doubts about some- thing, a call to him would clear things up. And he went on to promise to be civil as long as the parents were. However, a well- intended “helpful” hint at the close of his talk might well have shaken everyone up a bit. “Just remember, room 238 is above 138, which is above 38. Room 25 is above 125, which is over 25 --- except, there isn’t any. Oh, go out and find ’em for yourself.” That’s the way it went all evening. Some- how I can’t help thinking that every night just as the clock strikes twelve, the spirit of that poor son of a gun that spent 5th hour in the janitor's closet roams the halls in an endless search for room 29, the room that doesn’t exist. .. � . .

Candidates for Homecoming Royalty Pose During the sixth hour on Monday, Octo- ber 21, ten Senior girls were especially ner- vous and apprehensive. Then it came! Aided by screams and cries of “Oh, I made it!!” Dave Martin. Student Council President, announced the Homecoming Royalty. The deserving girls are Pat Gaughan, Helen Hen- nier, Melinda Lohr, Liliane Pintar, and Nan- cy Tremble. The Senior class first selected the ten finalists from all the senior girls. Then, join- ed by the juniors, the seniors narrowed the list to five. College Day, for juniors and seniors, will fall on Wednesday. November 27th this year. Students from Ward and St. Joe High School will be invited. Representatives from many colleges will participate and will give a brief description of their college at the general assembly. Stu- dents will be given time to ask any ques- tions they have concerning the college, its program, etc. at this time. Also, individual college sessions for the convenience of the students, will be given in separate classrooms for those interested in a particular college. These talks will be given at least twice so all will be assured of a chance to hear about his chosen school. Time between sessions will also be provided so students may meet and talk with the representatives. Parents are invited to come and meet the representatives during the evening session, which will be held between seven and eight o’clock. Please plan to attend what will prove to be an interesting and informative program. A seminar will be held at U.M.K.C. for parents of college-bound students on No- vember 3 and 10 from 2-4 p.m. in the Uni- versity Center. Students preparing for college may take the Scholastic Aptitude Test December 7. The deadline for registration is November 9. Kathy Powell Fashion Head Speaks Here Mrs. Rosemary Doeren, mother of senior Bill Doeren and freshman Mike Doeren, has been chosen to be the new Wendy Ward in the greater Kansas City area. She is one of twenty-one women throughout the United States who, under this same name, are to lead the Montgomery Ward stores in esta- blishing this new trademark and in introduc- ing high fashion and quality for low prices. This new program also includes a charm and modeling course, taught by Mrs. Doeren herself, intended to perfect and beautify every girl. To the girls who participate in this course, Ward offers a scholarship pro- gram of $1000. Mrs. Doeren in her capacity as “Wendy Ward will be available for lec- tures on charm and poise for pep clubs, youth organizations, ladies clubs and social clubs. She has been invited here to give a talk on the subject of charm and poise Oct. 24 for the benefit of all Miege girls. Nancy Tremble DNiv hb m°re tmrs rm pM mm - no - JOURNALISM Staff Members To Conferences Workshop at K. U. Unfolds New Ideas Mit-ge was represented by a group of 16 journalism students at the annual journa- lism workshop held at K.U. October 3. Discussions on the school newspaper dealt with such subjects as its function, imagina- tive editing and makeup, the editorial page, and the features and sports sections. The yearbook section had two basic divisions consisting of the purposes of the yearbook and its planning. There were many ideas expressed in plan- ning the yearbook, one of which was to alter the traditional, functional type by chang- ing its division according to seasons in the school year. Among the speakers was Mr. Ayers Bloch- er, jr., picture editor for the Kansas City Star, who explained and demonstrated var- ious ways to improve the skills of the photo- grapher and thus improve the quality of the material produced. Photographers Study Better Techniques The next time one of the Miegian photo- graphers yells “cheese, ’ Stags can be sure that the picture will be a good one, thanks to a ten-week workshop (begun on Sept. 24) on the subject of photo-journalism now be- ing held at the Board of Education build- ing in Kansas City, Missouri. The purpose of the workshop is to im- prove the quality of photographs taken by student photographers and to instruct them in the new methods of photo-journalism. Those attending from Miege are Don Burkett, Mike Kirk, and John Rutherford (sophomores); Jim Brock (junior); and Bill Pesek and Jim Jones (seniors). Co-editors Chosen At the beginning of this school year, Nancy Tremble and Pat Normile were pick- ed by Sister Immaculata (moderator), as co-editors for the 63- 64 Miege Yearbook. Both Nancy and J. Pat were recommended by last year’s moderator Miss Patricia Hellinger because of their capable and re- sponsible work on the ’62-’63 yearbok. Co-editors of the Miegian Newsmagazine for the first semester are Anne Sexton and Dave Burns, also chosen by Sister Immacu- lata, who saw them as qualified for the job. They, like the yearbook co-editors, have been busily planning for the Miegian and are looking forward to its achievements. Cancer, Press Meet Topic On Thursday, October 19, Betty Wart- man. Dianne Gerling, and Rita Zipf attend- ed an American Cancer Society Press Con- ference at U. M.K.C. Dr. James P. Cooney was the featured speaker. He discussed the relation between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. He stated that the rate of deaths from lung cancer has risen from 3000 in 1930 to 40,000 in 1962. The mortality rate is expected to climb to 85,000 in 1980. Dr. Cooney said that at this time chances of survival from lung cancer are 6-11 out of 100.” Panelists Rate Science “The need for science is insatiable.” This remark was made by one of three Midwest authorites on science who conducted a pan- el discussion led by Jules Bergman, ABC News Science Editor, Sept. 20, at Shawnee Mission North H.S. Miegian reporters Pat Stiles and Anne Sexton attended, with re- porters from other area high schools. Some of the panelists' observations were: Science now occupies a position of respect”; stu- dents interested in science as a career must first learn to live and think” by acquiring a liberal education in depth.” No one is more anxious to look at the Mie- gian when it first comes out than those who have contributed to it. Conferences Slated The Midwest Regional Catholic Press Conference will be held at Rockhurst Col- lege on Nov. 1 and 2. Journalism students representing Catholic colleges and high schools within a 250 mile radius will attend. The theme of this conference is “Christian Social Action in the Student Press.” Also held on the same days is the Eighth Annual Greater St. Louis Press Workshop. Journalism students and school photograph- ers within 500 miles of this area will attend. The theme of this conference is The World and the Spectrum of Truth. John Wall, Dave Burns, and Jim Brock represented the staff at a press conference honoring Maurice Evans at U.M.K.C., Oct. 21. is the newspaper worth its ink? Do newspapers exist solely for the purpose of swatting bugs and wrapping garbage, or are there other justifications for their existence? I hope that most individuals would answer that the many newspaper reporters, photographers, ad solicitors, editors, critics, proofreaders, layout directors, and publishers throughut the world are working too hard and spending too much money to contribute in this small way to the riding of certain undesirable creatures or to sanitation. Of course, that is not to say that these areas are not important; however, a news paper serves other purposes. The most obvious of these purposes is to inform the reader. The newspaper makes the reader aware of the world around him by bring- ing him knowledge of people, places, and things. A newspaper, in this capacity for information, helps him to grow intellectually and to broad- en his range of interest, thereby increasing his appreciation and enjoy- ment of life. The second contribution of a newspaper to our lives is that it provides an opportunity for opinion expression. Editorials, columns, and “letters to the editor” departments are not printed merely to fill up space. They make us aware of the feelings and ideas of other people who want to be heard. Even if we don’t agree with what another per- son has to say. at least we have learned something about that person and have probably found cause to re-examine our own stand. An in- dividual who has no interest in another's opinions will soon find him- self quite unhappy - and quite alone. The third principal feature of a newspaper is entertainment. One important criterion for judgment of a newspaper’s worth is its quality of entertainment. A publication that continually prints unfunny jokis (such as can be found on bubble gum wrappers), private jokes that ex- clude all but a few readers, or gossip columns, cannot be of much ben- efit to society. However, if a newspaper contains real humor and pro- vides a source of true enjoyment, then it fulfdls one of its main respon- sibilities and is certainly worthy of praise. Basically, then, a newspaper's purpose is the benefiting of man by means of the communication of information and ideas. Since this is its purpose, a good newspaper is a thing to be tremendously honored. Anne Sexton - Ill - 5PART5 Argentine Five Out of Five For the fifth time in the last five years, Miege defeated the Argentine Mustangs. The game was played on the Argentine field, Sept. 27, before a large and enthusiastic crowd. The score this year was 13-6. As indicated by the score, victory did not come easily. The running of the Argentine backs fea- tured the first half, which was completely dominated by the Mustangs. Argentine seem- ingly ran at will through the Stags' line. If it weren’t for the defensive eforts of linemen Tom Dwyer and Dick Wall and halfback Dennis Harris, the score at half might well have been worse than 6-0. However, the second half was a different story. An inspired Miege eleven completely outplayed Argentine, both on offense and defense. The fact that the Mustangs were held scoreless, speaks well for the defense. The sweeps of Tom Geraghty and Tom Hammond provided the spark on offense. Dave Martin and Hammond scored TD’s for the Stags. The Stags might have scored again if a sixty-yard punt return by Ger- aghty had not ben nullified by a penalty. John Wall Hawks Rout Stags 27-0 By scoring one touchdown in each quart- er, Rockhurst kept some life in a ball game that was otherwise gloomy for the Miege eleven. Both on offense and defense Rock- hurst completely outplayed the Stags. The defensive play of Tom Dwyer, senior end, was the lone bright spot in an other- wise dark game. The letdown in the second half seemed to spell out the ultimate out- come. Gridiron Girlies Is football only for boys? The feminine students of Bishop Miege High School would answer this question with a demure but emphatic NO! A wave of enthusiasm con- cerning this rugged sport has swept the girls with a new and enticing interest that is fast becoming the rage in the Kansas City area. The girls of the four classes have formed separate teams which have thus far lived up to their expectations. The uniforms con- sist of old jeans and sweat shirts, which are much more fashionable than the boys’ at- tire. The girls' teams play acording to the same rules that the boys abide by, each group having a first-string, second-string, re- serve players, water girl, and nurses’ aides. Co-captains are also chosen to direct the squad at practices, held after school during the week. The games take place on Sunday after- noons. when the Miege girls play the other area high school girls’ teams. So far, the games have proven exciting and involve quite a bit of confusion, tackling, passing, a few touchdowns, broken fingernails, a few bruises, and a great deal of fun. Several boys have taken upon themselves the task of coaching the teams. The girls are beginning to crowd out the boys in the world of sports. Who knows what the future holds? Maybe National Girls’ Football teams. A First-String Tackle Stags Whip Warriors Plagued by overconfidence and an unin- spired defense, Miege went into the second quarter of play behind 7-0. The holders of this lead were the mighty Warriors of St. Pius. Miege however, came to life and went on to a 21-14 victory. The main reason for this was two-fold: a stern defense and a mobile offense. The de- fense was led by Tom Dwyer, Bob Numrich, and Dennis Harris. The defense completely stymied the Warrior offense. The two Pius touchdowns came on a kick-off return and a recovered fumble. , On offense the running of Tom Geraghty and Dave Martin sparked for three touch- downs. Harris also scored a touchdown for the Stags. Martin acquired eight points in the game and vaulted into fourth place in the area scoring race. I Never Touched Him Some afternoon, if you should happen to walk by the gym. you would probably hear the plaintive cry of, “Gee, coach, I never touched him.” As you might guess, a game called basketball is in progress there. The game is hidden under the name of intramural. Starting at 3:15 every day, those boys who wish to display their talents take to the court. Several interesting, if not hi- larious, records have come from this. Jim (Butcher) Milazzo fouled out of the game with some five minutes remaining in the first half. This breaks his long-standing record which he set in C.Y.O. last year. Another record was provided by Mike (Ace) Doeren. Ace scored thirty of his team’s forty points. Some observers say Mike has a tendency to shoot more than his share. Seriously, intramural sports provide all people a chance to participate. Also, many hidden talents are uncovered, which may in the long run benefit one of our regular school teams. Stags Excel in Cross Country Meets Miege Harriers Take First Miege’s Cross Country team won its first meet against Bonner Springs and Turner on the tough Turner course (2.2 miles.) Lead- ing the Stags was senior Pat Normile, first place finisher with a time of 11:05. Greg Wilson, junior, finished second with 11:51, while John Fleskes, sophomore, had a 12:17 and finished fourth. Score: M-26 BS-32 T-59 XC Team Wins Again Miege overpowered Argentine in a dual Cross Country Meet during the half-time of the football game. Senior Captain Pat Normile carded first with 7:38 over the 1.5 mile race on the cinders. Greg Wilson, again finished second. Fourth place went to John Fleskes and fifth to Mike Judge. Team score: 20-36 (lowest score wins in Cross Country.) Stags Fare Well at S-M East “The Harriers of Miege fared well against the toughest teams in the state on October 11 at the SME Invitational XC Meet,” re- ported Head Track Coach Art Zimola. We finished in ninth place of the seventeen teams including the three Shawnee Missions, Wich- ita, Salina, Emporia, and Wyandotte. Of the 115 individual runners, Pat Normile finish- ed fifth and junior Greg Wilson grabbed 30th. The times respectively were 10:28 and ll:7.Jim Ryan (State record holder in the mile) finished first with a 9:55.7 over the toughest two mile course in state. Sopho- more John Fleskes and juniors Mike Fin- nerty, Mike Judge. Don Fortin, and Fred Silady also finished in good positions.” Miege Takes Third Meet The XC Team of Miege won its third meet in winning over Rosedale and Turner 30-36-63 respectively. Again, the Stag three- some of Normile, Wilson, and Fleskes fin- ished very well. Normile was the individual winner with 10:40 at Turner while Wilson was second with an 11:09 and Fleshes was eighth. Mike Finnerty finished ninth and Mike Judge was tenth as the team showed very strongly its capabilities for the school. - 112 - Get Those Pens Moving The Miegian literary contests is on!

The Stags brought in $3174.45. and the sale of ads was responsible for this amount. Plans have been made by Student Council to bring in an ad- ditional $500 during the Thanksgiving holi- days. The junior class led by bringing in 88% of their goal. The seniors followed with 83%; the freshmen brought in 78% of their goal; and the sophomores were on the bottom of the ladder, bringing in only 55% of their goal. As a result of bringing in the highest percentage, the juniors selected Sandra Len- ihan as yearbook queen. Sandra was also high salesman bringing in over $300. Jim Harvey’s homeroom placed first with 243%; Jean McAvoy’s homeroom came in second with 189%; and Linda Sturdivan’s brought in 159% to place third. Candy McLaughlin cine, teaching business. Papal Volunteers, and the Peace Corps. After the brief talks, which gave an in- formative background of each career, stu- dents went to separate classrooms designated to the various professions. There larger groups of people from each explained more thoroughly the aspects of that career. Peggy Noonan Dr. Clarence Gripkey, who spoke on the field of medicine, talked informally to Pat Gaughan and Peggy Noonan during the tea after Career Night. Stags Sample County Government Thirteen Miege government students, along with students from other county high schools, observed the functions of county government October 31 in Olathe on Student Participation Day, sponsored by the Ameri- can Legion. After welcoming speeches at the Legion Post, the students were administered the oath of office en masse to the various of- fices they were to observe. (The thirteen Mie ians were “elected” to office by Mr. Moritz, Mr. Salmans and Miss Chirveno.) Then they were blown by the forceful wind over to the courthouse to visit their respec- tive offices. After spending about an hour filling their heads with governmental information, the students were blown back to the Legion post, where they filled their stomachs with hot dogs and pop. Following lunch. Magistrate Judge Wil- liam Allen spoke on several aspects of the judicial system in Johnson County. Then one lucky representative from each group of the six or seven students for the various continued - 113 - ONE FOR ALL A person unfamiliar with American life, who draws his knowledge of us from our periodicals, might come up with a rather strange picture of American youth. Splashed across the front pages of our newspapers are tales of “teenage criminals” and “teenage vanda- lism.” Recently, a magazine with national circulation printed a damning account of “teen party hounds,” using a number of blood-curdling examples in order to prove the decay in our generation. The MIEGIAN might as well print a front page account of Kansas City’s crime rate, and imply that all adults have dan- gerous criminal tendencies and must be closely watch- ed lest they lead to the downfall of our society. No such intention was harbored by the magazine above, surely; no newspaper actually plans to defame us when it prints only accounts of teen crime and banishes news about constructive activities by the majority of us: crime just sells more papers; there are no thrills in de- bate tournaments or Teenage Monitors for retarded children. But what is the effect on the population of the country? We all have felt the results: how many times have we received cold stares for making a little noise on a street, or been halted by a law officer for no other reason than that we were teenagers? The people who stare are not to blame. Nor is the officer who is only doing what he feels is his job. But few teachers and people who work with youth are not tolerant of a little noise or natural jubilance; the disapproval is due to a wrong public image that has been presented by the press. One cannot be allowed to represent all. The most effective cure lies in us. We must make the public so aware of the erroneous picture foisted on them that they will demand a “new deal”. Only if and when J.D.’s are not classed with the vast majority of teenagers can you really believe what you read in the papers. John Wisner FIRST THINGS FIRST “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lordl .let them rest from their labors, for their works Slow them.” Apoc. 14:13 “With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own.” . .President John F. Kennedy-Inaugural Address. All too often in high school, too much emphasis is put on popularity, dates, and athletic achievement. While these are all a part of adolescence, they are only secondary - “the fringe benefits.” All must be taken in stride. One must realize that the four years we spend in high school should prepare us for the long life ahead by maturing us intellectually, spiritually, and socially. The responsibilities we will face in the adult world are going to be more demanding than in any other genera- tion; and unless we are able to cope with them, we will be “lost by the wayside.” Of course every youth wants to enjoy the fun and freedom of adolescence; but if we indulge in too much fun and too much freedom, grades will surely drop and (Photograph taken by Bill Humphrey ’62 in K.C.,Mo.t in October, 1960.) morals may become lax.

One of the means of bringing about this brother- hood is the Papal Volunteers program, an organization directed by the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, staffed by Catholic men and women between the ages of twenty-one and forty-five who have an active awareness of their responsibility toward their fellow man. Be- cause of her slowness in helping impoverished Latin America, the Church has asked the help of the laity. The volunteers are commis- sioned, from a bishop in the States to a bishop in Latin America, for three years with four months preparatory training. The Papal Volunteers concern themselves entirely with Latin America, as they believe that it, sometimes called the Sleeping Giant,” has the potential of saving the world for Christianity. A way of tapping this source of power is through its people. However, due to the lack of priests and religious. Papal Volunteers are needed to reach these people. One such volunteer is Marilyn Granquist. a graduate of Bishop Miege, who is stationed as a nurse in Belem, Brazil, Much informa- tion has been gained from Marilyn's letters sent to the States concern- ing the papal program and the conditions in Latin America. One day in June of this year. Marilyn along with eight other P.V.8 and two directors, left for Brazil. After a delay in Caracas, they ar- rived in Belem. What a strange feeling it was to be here - a dream realized, a fear actualized, an excitement felt - everything at once. Marilyn’s daily training schedule consisted of - 6:00 A.M. - Mass 6:45 A.M. - Breakfast 7:15 A.M. - Duties 8:30 - 10:00 - Geography and Culture Class 10:00 • 11:45 • Language Class 12:00 - 2:30 P.M. - Lunch and Siesta 2:30 - 4:00 P.M. - language Class 4:30 - 5:30 P.M. - Supper and Dishes 7:30 P.M. - Study Period. The Challenge. . . The Papal Volunteers, as an organization, was started six years ago when Pope John realized the crisis in Latin America. Look the other way and do good,” has become the foundation for the P.V.8 battle against the ever-present threat of communism. Too many times. Catholics have been content with just giving money to the missions. This won’t win Latin America for Christianity. We must give of ourselves and teach an ignorant people the right way to live. Now, through the Papal Program, this desperate need is being realized. Offered to the volunteers are four promises: 1. The Volunteers will be given the opportunity to enrich the hearts and minds of people who need help urgently. 2. The volunteers will be given the satisfaction of knowing that he was able to act instead of talk.” 3. The volunteer will be given the opportunity to play a key role in history by helping the people who make history. 4. Lastly, he will be given the opportunity to develop his own mind and gain experience with another culture. language, and people. The major problems facing the Church and the people in Latin America are the expanding needs of a population which doubles with each generation, the widespread upheavals as economic problems wors- en, the mounting challenge of communism, and the grave shortages of priests and religious. Pope Paul has said, The laity must help solve the problem now. As Catholics, we have an obligation to fulfill our responsibilities as laity. The challenge has been given. Linda Taylor, Debbie Linton In one of her earlier letters, Marilyn mentioned one of a few prob- lems facing the new P.V.s: The biggest difficulty we all face is the language. We here, at least, have others to help us. Never can you imagine the lost and lonely feeling you get sometimes when you want to speak to someone and you can’t say the words they understand. There are times, though, when you proudly say to yourself, ‘I said it, and they understood me - hurrah!’ ” There are nine volunteers living in Casa Central (Central House), which Marilyn described as located on a very narrow side street in a poor area. There is plenty of room because all the P.V.s are living in houses near their projects. Of course, there are lots of laughs - with our cold showers which wash almost all the soap off, and the musty- smelling rooms and food which looks so different from ours (very good most of the time, however).” But religion is the central purpose: Last Thursday, the nine of us went to San Jorge, a house in the country for the use of our month- ly retreat. I especially liked the peace and solitude for a day.” Many of the Latin American customs are as amusing as they are strange. The people there love to fight, so they stand in the middle of the street discussing such things as Your straw cart is blocking my way. I’m in a hurry, and so on. After an hour, they part as good friends. Marilyn continues: Food, people, bare feet, flies - you name it, it’s here. It is all something to see. The food is laid out in individual booths. Sometimes you see a person bite into a fruit or food to taste it. If they don’t like it, back it goes into the pile.” But poverty and oppression cannot go unfelt; they now play an intricate part in Marilyn’s awareness of life. She told of visiting a baby boy one day who had measles, ascites (fluid in his stomach), and was suffering from malnutriton and dehydration. The mother was told that he should go to the doctor at the ambulatory; the priest was ask- ed to baptize him. That night he died. The Papal Volunteer feels not only this oppression of poverty and ignorance, but something else too. “Seeing these people and knowing that you are doing something to help them gives you a feeling of sat- isfaction you just can’t believe.” Debbie Linton, Linda Taylor Stags Run Wild Against Rosedale Miege offense that seemingly bottled up an inspired Rosedale defense burst forth with a flurry of second-half touchdowns Wednesday night. Oct. 30. at the Ward field. Ahead only 7-0 at the half hy virtue of a Dennis Harris touchdown, the Miege eleven cam� out at the half to raise the score. The line play in this half was particularly good, both on offense and defense. Faced by the steady blocking of Center John Collins, the Miege line ripped gaping holes in the Rosedale defense. The sweeps of Tom Ham- At the Risk of Life and Limb. Miege’s Dar- ing Maintenance Enginer. Mr. Clark.

Martin scored two touchdowns in the second half, while Geraghty scored on a double-reverse behind a devastating block by Jim Garner. A final highlight to a suc- cessful homecoming game was the use of our newly-developed shotgun offense. In this series of plays. Martin, five yards behind the line of scrimmage, takes a direct snap from center and either runs or passes on the option. John Wall Effort, Talent, and Joy Equal Success Effort: In the realm of effort can be included many aspects of the Miege Homecoming. First, the victorious rampage of the Mighty Miege Stags over the slightly bewildered and beaten Rosedale Wildcats in the homecom- ing football game held on Oct. 30. The hard effort on the part of the Stag squad on the gridiron held the Wildcats in a scoreless game with the Miege eleven bringing home four touchdowns. The score in this fulfilling game, to add to the homecoming spectacle was 25-0. The next area of the homecoming festivi- ties involving much effort was the erecting of the throne and the decorating of the gym. A combined total of about ten hours was used by the helpful Stags on the decorating of the large Miege gym. Preparations for this mammoth job began approximately at 8:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 1. The number of loyal Stags that showed up that morning was quite flattering considering most of them had a big Halloween the preceding night. Seemingly limitless yards of crepe paper, hundreds of nails and balloons were just a few of the items these Stags were to use. At twelve noon the workers were nail- ing the throne together, streaming the streamers, and blowing up the balloons for the dance, yet to come, that would glorify all this effort. Sister Martina, not only guid- ed but did her share and more of the work to make the dance a success. Miss Murphy worked hard with the rest to decorate the gym. Superman of Broom and Dustpan. Maintenance Engineer. Mr. Clark, was in- expendahle. It was Mr. Clark's daring that put up the balloons: it was Mr. Clark's skill that fixed the lighting on the stage, and lastly it was Mr. Clark’s butter-fingers that dropped an expensive” light bulb. The combined efforts and skill of the Stags and the generosity of these adult helpers suc- ceeded in completing a beautifully decorated gym. (Incidentaly, last year’s Student Coun- cil vice-president Buzz Buchanan, helped out in the decorating and attended the dance in the evening.) All this effort was followed by the jovial excitement and rioutous laughter during the dance. There was tense drama when Queen Lillian Fintar, and attendants Fat Gaughan, Melinda Lohr, Helen Hennier. and Nancy Tremble were chosen and escorted to their positions on the throne. Dave Depping. es- cort to Nancy Tremble, presented Queen Lillian with a football autographed by mem- bers of the team. Mike Bader, Lilliane’s es- cort, presented her with the traditional kiss of congratulation. Talent: Talent was evident in making the home- coming a success. The group of entertainers who christened themselves, Little Willie and the Hide-A-Ways,’’ was little known to a large percent of the Miege body. But after their performance at the dance, Stags will remember them for several reasons: 1) They were courteous and obliging to all who at- tended the 1963 homecoming. 2� They pro- vided a type of entertainment which affected every bystander. Quiet students not gener- ally interested in dancing, danced blisters on their feet to Willie’s accompaniment. Little Willie performed one act, Stranded in the Jungle,” to which enthusiastic Stags clapped in four-four time. Joy Joy prevailed in every homecoming event. At the football game, joy reached a peak at the victory. During the decorating of the gym, there was joy in teamwork. And Sister Martina heard many joyful remarks: This is great!” Oh! Sister, this is realy wonder- ful!” Thanks a lot; when will it happen again? The 1963 Miege Homecoming was a great success.

BONES BONES BONES There’s a new student at Miege. Have you seen him? He’s about six feet tall and he’s bald. His name Osso L’os Hueso, Ozzie for short. He came to Miege in the latter part of September with Sr. Martina. Mr. Byard, and Mr. Schwerdtfeger. Ozzie is a very unusual student. He ma- jors in the sciences of biology and physiol- ogy. He's really very helpful and shines when connective tissue is studied. But home life is lonely and he says he’d like a few visitors. He won’t talk much, because his mouth is wired shut. He’s the new skeleton and his name is Bones Bones Bones in Latin, French, and Spanish. Ozzie’s a welcome addition to Miege and he’ll probably be here longer than any stu- dent on record.

Sample County Government (continued) offices got to stand up and give a very brief speech summarizing all that he had learned in his office. Three Miege students ,(Susie Cushing, Kathy Mahoney, and Anne Sex- ton) found themselves trembling before the microphone. The highlight of the day was a mock trial held in the courthouse. After a short dis- course on jurisprudence, students were chos- en to be the defendant, witnesses, and jury for a ficticious case involving a grocery store robbery. Those who took the stand had a difficult time maintaining a solemn face, and the amused judge rapped his gavel to silence the roar of the laughter-infected spectators. The students were blown back to the Legion post again and each was presented his or her own “certificate of election and oath of office.” Imbibed with democratic zeal, with certificates flapping in the wind, all the sheriffs, clerks, coroners, judges, superintendents, assessors, etc., left the poet with valuable experience in county govern- ment.

Then stop chew- ing! This is the motto of the S. of G.C.A. (Society of Gum Chewed by Americans) after findings reported in a recent convention. Mr. Small Chew of the Double Bubble delegation, presiding as chairman, addressed the convention: “Fellow gum chums, we are gath- ered here to discover the reason why the amount of gum consumed by high school students has increased so greatly. At random, we selected a typical high school to observe in order to find a few clues. This school was Bishop Miege High School. Mr. Chew told how the delegation proceeded into a classroom, where they found a young man on the verge of tears. They soon realiz- ed his problem when they heard him exclaim, My chewing gum lost its flavor under the desk over night.!” As class started, the teacher asked a student if he had any gum in his mouth. The student quickly swallowed his gum and answered, “no . “He is doomed to ‘gummed-up’ intestines for the rest of his life, sadly reported Mr. Chew. After conducting a survey under the desks, the delegation found that Wrigley’s Doublemint and Double Bubble bubblegum reigned as the most popular choices. However, further study revealed that Wrig- ley’s Spearmint and Juicy Fruit gum wrappers were found most often on students’ gum chains. The researchers saw a sophomore girl with her jaw in a sling walk down the hall. It was learned that she was trying to reach her goal of terminating her 50-mile long gum chain in one week. It has been her physical fitness plan. While passing the water fountain, the delegates encountered a girl puzzling over a dry fountain. Just as she was anxiously peering into the spout, water came gushing out. Someone had stuffed the spout with gum. How repulsive!” THE DlRRY Life Dnne Frankly Anne Frank lived in hiding with seven other people in a secret nest of rooms in Amsterdam. Her diary reveals the life of this group of Jews waiting in fear of being discovered by the Nazis. It also relates the facts of their difficult lives with the lack of many earthly pleasures that their non-Jewish friends had. Lack of sunshine and fresh air were some of the major hardships that they faced, along with the food short- age and want of proper clothing. But with the help of their close out- side friends, they managed to endure for over two years. Daily arguments were not infrequent. Anne always found herself fighting with members of her family and household; but she had one person to rely on, and that was Peter, who showed his love and under- standing for her. This life of the Frank family lasted until August 4, 1944, when Grune Polizei raided the “Secret Annex”. All the occupants were arrested and sent to German and Dutch concentration camps. Only Anne's father returned. In March of 1945, two months before the liberation of Holland. Anne died in the concentration camp at Bergen- Belsen. The “Secret Annex was plundered by the Gestapo. Among a pile of old books, magazines, and newspapers left lying on the floor, two of the Franks’ outside contacts found Anne’s diary. Patti Ward Also sympathic with the views of the delegation is the school nurse, said Mr. Chew. He told how she is forced to spend most of her day rescuing people who have been attacked by gum. For instance, the most common cases needing treatment are those arising from getting gum caught in the hair and braces and nearly being suffocated when one’s bubblegum bubble pops, covering the nostrils with gum. As the delegates left Bishop Miege, some senior girls walked by with lollipops. Mr. Small Chew said, “The day has come. They’re changing to lollipops! John Goldrick COMMENTS. . .Pam Atchity Tragedy of Old Triumphs Once again MacBeth came to the motion picture screen, bringing life to Shakespeare's immortal story of a man and the ambition that brings him to a kingdom - and tragedy. The film, played at the Rock- hill Theater, starred Maurice Evans in the role of the protagonist while Dame Judith Anderson portrayed his ever-prodding, yet ever-loving wife. Both of these parts were executed with such finesse and ease that one wondered how anyone else could have attempted to fill the roles. The technicolor added to the brilliance of the picture and the on- location scening of the hills of old Scotland made this movie enjoyable and an excellent filming feat. Two of the most outstanding moments were Lady MacBeth’s sleep-walking scene and McBeth’s “tomorrow and tomorrow and to- morrow. . .’’ soliloquy at the deathbed of his wife. Throughout the story, Evans made the tragic hero less the monster that he has so often been known to be, and more the tragic figure that he was. The movie was of high excellence and both of the stars deserve real praise and acclaim. Mantovani Deafening applause from the audience cracked the silence of the Music Hall on Sunday afternoon of October 27. The outbreak of en- thusiasm was in response to the uniquely beautiful arrangements of Mantovani and his orchestra as they produced a Tonight” and I w- rence of Arabia with an effect that no other group has been able to achieve. Mantovani’s performance was a singular appearance of this well- known concert master with his orchestra of twenty-six strings and thirteen brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. It is because of his talented violinists that his group of musicians has gained so much recognition, producing a sweet, airy effect that has been impossible to capture by other performers of equal ability. “Green Leaves of Summer, “Beautiful Dreamer,” and “Long Ago and Far Away” were among the several dreamy pieces that delighted the spellbound audience. A new and appealing “Alice Blue Gown was presented much to the approval of the listeners, but it was his famous theme “Charmaine that brought down the house after his encore. Al- though the piece ended too soon to the satisfaction of the audience, Mantovani's personal thanks for the warm welcome and interest made the atmosphere of the afternoon hang on long after the last notes had echoed through the hall. We give You thanks, O Lord and Lover of man- kind. . . Who. . .did bring all things from nothingness into being. - Byzantine Liturgy 119 - Stags Stomp Irish Given a shot in the arm by Junior Quart- erback Dennis Harris, the Miege Stags scor- ed once in each of the first three quarters while trouncing the Irish of Lillis 21-7 at Ward field. The contest, easily the most convincing victory of the year for the Stags, was packed with excitement, including Dave Martin’s long scoring jaunt and Jim Garner s record- breaking 79-yard punt. Harris led the Stags on three touchdown marches scoring the first TD himself on a one-yard sneak. In the second quarter. Mart- in broke loose on his touchdown junket, rambling 59 yards to pay dirt. Danny West scored the final six-pointer on a five-yard spurt in the last stanza. The extra points were added on runs by Tom Hammond, Martin, and West. Martin. Garner, and tackle, stalwart Dick Wall, turned in fine performances and con- tinued to form the backbone of the Stag eleven. Doug Couch William Chrisman Despite some rugged defensive play and inspired running by Dave Martin. Miege succumbed to the powerful running of Lion- el Robinson and the rest of his William Chrisman teammates as the Bears edged the Stags 14-7 at Chrisman. The Stags' offense proved to be their suc- cess and failure. A fumble set up the first Bear touchdown and a failure to pick up a crucial first down set the Stags for the other. On the bright side of the ledger, a 48 yard scoring excursion by Martin brought the Stags into contention in the third quarter. Earlier in the period, the big fullback romp- ed for a touchdown from even farther out but the six points were wiped off the score- board because of a penalty. Miege, rated fourth before the contest, dropped out of the top ten for the first time this year and has four victories against two reversals. Previously unranked Chrisman is now 5-2. Doug Couch Miege Mops Hayden 14-0 Sparked by a first-quarter touchdown and a stout goal line defense. Miege scored a 14- 0 victory over Hayden in Topeka. Tom Hammond’s 47-yard run set up Dave Mart- in for his 6-yard touchdown and ensuing extra point. From the looks of things, it appeared that Miege was in for an easy time. How- ever. the Hayden eleven toughened up and almost scored a second-quarter touchdown. An unrelenting front line repulsed his drive just one yard short of the goal. In the second half, the Miege offense Numerich (60� Makes for Yardage with Wall (77) Blocking Lillis. again took over and scored on a 17-yard pass from Dennis Harris to Tom Geraghty. Dave Martin again scored the extra point. From this point on, it was left up to the defense to protect the lead. The defense showed up admirably and held the Wildcats to nega- tive yards rushing. Bader, Depping. Num- rich, Theis, and Wall stood out on defense. Jim Garner again averaged better than 40 yards a kick, with one traveling a distance of 57 yards. John Wall Basketball Season Draws Near As most of you know, tomorrow is the day of our first basketball game of the sea- son. The Stags of Miege take on the Eagles of Olathe at our home gym. Since Novem- ber 11, the coaches and members of the gym have been diligently working on the funda- mentals that are so basic to a good team. This year, the team's record should be as good or better than that of last year. But, win or lose, this year’s team should play good enough basketball to more than satisfy all.of the fans. John Wail - 120- Never, Nevermore “Go. fight, win. tonight - hey, hey, hey - go. fight, win, tonight,’’ was the opening cheer at the Miege assembly, Wed.. Oct. 30.

Mike (Yogi) Gaughan. Pat (Twinkletoes) Depping. Understanding, of course, that these boys were a little heftier than the girls, they were required to get their own uniforms. Uni- forms they hardly achieved - the conglom- erations of articles that they acquired were almost unbelievable. All types of dress from culottes to bloomers to pigtails were worn by these cuties of the cheerleading squad. In an intimate interview, these shy stu- dents were aAked if they would try out for cheerleading next year. “Spontaneously,” quoth the boys, “Girls, nevermore!” Dave Burns Vol. 6, No. 4 - Bishop Miege High School, Shawnee Mission, Kansas - December 20, 1963 Student Council Views Christmas Project With the coming of Christmas in mind, the Student Council meeting of November 21 was called to order. Since several homerooms successfully sup- plied a Thanksgiving dinner for some fami- lies in the Kansas City area, it was proposed that the Student Council adopt a similar program for its Christmas project. It was decided that each homeroom be presented with a family and a list of the things that family needs most. Each home- room is to be responsible for its “Christmas basket” (which may include food, clothing, toys, etc.). and is to carry out the project in any way it wishes. Upperclassmen Glimpse Higher Education The eager students broke into laughter as Mr. Salmans, American History teacher at Miege proudly announced “I have one other loyality besides Miege and Zook - St. Mary of the Plains!” Dave Fortin, Doug Dragert, Mary Sue Scardello, Ron Regan, and Steve Murray, graduates from Miege, very aptly represent- ed their respective colleges, adding a more personal touch to the '63 College Day, Wed- nesday, Nov. 27. A general assembly was held first for the attending juniors and seniors from Ward and Miege during which each representative was introduced and gave a brief description of his college, explaining what it offered for the future. The first individual session took place immediately following the general assembly. The students went to the classroom assign- ed to the college thy were most interested in to hear more details about it. The next ses- sion was set aside for students to go from classroom to classroom to become more acquainted with several colleges. In the last session, the students went to investigate an- other particular college. According to many participants, College Day proved to be interesting and informa- tive - the best Miege has ever had. It served its two-fold purpose of helping the students get to know two colleges well and get ac- quainted with several. An evening session was held at 7:00 where parents were invited to talk with the var- ious college representatives. The colleges represented were: (Women) Duchesne (Omaha i. Our Lady of the Lake (San Antonio), Sacred Heart College (Wichi- ta), Mount St. Scholastica (Atchison), Lor- etto Heights (Denver), Marymount (Salina), Maryville (St. Louis), Clarke College (Du- buque.

Under the leadership of President John Gillie and Moderator Sister Clarice, the sophomores have extensive plans to become acquainted with various social institutions in this area. “The purpose of this. says Mr. Gillie, “is to give the students an insight into the prob- lems of people outside their own realm of contact and to give needed help to these agencies.” The plans are these: the students write to a particular organization, asking permis- sion for a group of sophomores to visit there. If permission is given and a tour made, a thank-you letter is sent to the institution, inquiring if the students can help in some way. especially through personal service. Al- Choir “Unsilences” the Night The Miege choir had its first chance to entertain other students in a Christmas Bible Vigil, Wednesday, December 18, in the gym. An assembly was held sixth hour and songs such as “Fanfare for a Christmas Day,” “Joy to the World,” and the well- known “0 Holy Night” put Stags and fac- ulty in the Yuletide spirit. The performance was repeated that night for the public. The following night. Miege, in turn with other area high school choirs, had the op- portunity to sing carols at the Plaza Mon- day, Nov. 16. The traditional Christmas hymns were heard all over the cheer-filled shopping area by means of loud speakers. Silent Night” rsounded in the cold night air. The ever-loved Drummer Boy” was a special feature sung in perfect harmony by a small group of the choir selected by Sister Marie Therese.

Miege Represented At National CYO Meet Two Miege students, Linda Krause and Lynn Clark, were among seventy-seven Kan- sas City area high school students who at- tended the National CYO Convention in New York City, November 14-17. Combin- ing business with pleasure, the girls heard President Kennedy address the Convention with a surprise impromptu speech in which he asked the youth of America to give the best they have for the United States. They also attended a banquet at which J. Edgar Hoover was presented the gold “Pro Deo et Juventute (for God and Youth) award for his outstanding service to the youth of Ame- rica. On December 16, the members of the Fu- ture Nurse Club, accompanied by Mrs. Bol- lig and Fr. Lickteig carried the Christmas spirit to the Rehabilitation Center at the K.U. Medical Center. For the past few weeks, the girls, under the supervision of Mary Jo McAuley, had been preparing “favors” for the children at the Center. The club members were divided First Honors Sophomores Marietta Celite, Diane Lusk Second Honors Seniors Pam Atchity, Linda Barlow, Paula Bibb, Barbara Bunyon, Shirley Dreiling, Barbara Fischer, Helen Hennier.

After all of the national officers were elected and all panel sessions were over, the girls, like all other vistors to the Convention, saw the sights of the city including the Em- pire State Building, Washington Square, and the Statue of Liberty. The Convention, which occurs every two years, was concluded by a semi-formal dance and many private parties. into groups, headed by Mary Espinosa, Phyl- lis DiMaio, Mary Zillner, Pat Minenna, Syl- via Schute, and Mary Andrews. Each was responsible for a separate favor,” including Santa Clauses, cloth boots, and snowmen. Children at the Center showed all the de- light and enthusiasm so much a part of a child at Christmas time. Charles Weingart, Susan Wood, Jan Curtis.

Future Nurses to Medical Center Honor Roll - 122 - “Texans Will Never Brag Again” As I rode through a quiet, peaceful residential area of a fine city, I almost forgot where we were go- ing. My memory came back as we entered the inter- section of Houston and Elm and I looked up at very familiar building. I kept thinking only of the films and pictures of this historic scene that I had watched on TV. But it was no longer just a tape, a photograph - it was the live, sorrowful scene of President Kennedy’s assassination. We parked the car and walked with the crowd to a beautiful piece of ground. The once bare earth was now almost entirely covered with wreaths and bou- quets of flowers. The one that caught my attention was a cross made of red and white carnations with a sign saying, “In memory of our beloved President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.” Thousands of Dallas residents had come to this tragic spot to pay their respects and say: “We are sorry, President Kennedy. We are so ashamed.” Little chil- dren knelt at the flowered cross and said a prayer. Men and women wept out of deep regret and sadness. But it wasn’t just people from Dallas who came to pay homage. One man from Alaska was traveling on his Thanksgiving holidays and had gone more than fifty miles out of his way for one last look at this his- toric monument. How do typical Dallas people feel? Most of them are ashamed that it happened in their city. But they strongly feel that it could have taken place anywhere. They feel that they should not be condemned for what was done by just one individual who didn’t even re- side in Dallas. Nevertheless, some Dallas residents will never be able to forget it and will never be proud to say, “Dallas is my hometown.” I asked one of my Dallas friends, “Hey,Tex, what’s there to brag about now?” Her simple, but forceful, reply was: “Are you kidding? Texans will never brag again!” Pat Schultz TB Little Lou TB TB In the Closet Where it Belongs Said the germ to the blood, “I’m (lowing with you Till I find a place In the lungs of little Lou.” And so this deadly germ, (You may know it as TB) Found the place that it sought Where it spread happily. At first Lou felt tired And caught cold at ni ht, But then he coughed blood And was filled with great fright. And at last and too late To the doctor he fled, The doctor gave his verdict - “It’s TB.” he said. “If you’d have come earlier Or had your TB test. We would have known sooner, But now, just hope for the best. But little Lou continued His downward flight. Till the angels came to take him To the heavens one night. Now if you don’t want to end up As little Lou - dead. Be sure to get your TB tests; Little Lou wished he had. Candy McLoughlin Consumption — no other disease in the history of mankind has been so feared and yet so misunderstood. We’re lucky enough to be living in a time in which medical science has reached a peak in the conquest of disease and has all but subjugated “consumption, more accurately labeled “tuberculosis”. No longer does one have to fear almost inevitable infection by the disease which at one time accounted for up to 50% of the deaths in large cities. In our day, due to more sanitary measures, better means of earlier detection and a more complete under- standing of the nature of the disease, there is no longer an element of hopelessness at- tached to contraction of TB. Great Books Groups Organized At Miege Junior and Adult Great Books discussion groups have been organized by Mr. Paul O’Connell at Miege. The groups meet every two weeks, the adults on Tuesday nights 7-9, and the junior group on Thursday nights 7-9. Some of the great writers to be discussed during the weeks are Plato, Aristotle, Karl Marx, Sophocles. Each discussion group has two adult lead- ers. The leaders are volunteers who are very interested in seeing a Great Books group started. They are not leaders for the purpose of teaching, but to stimulate discussion through their questioning. The success of this venture is the responsibility of each in- dividual group member and the interest and energies he contributes to the discussion. Rather than saddling an “imbalance of the humors or “bad blood” with the blame for the disease, scientists and laymen are now on the lookout for the real culprit, a tiny tonly about 1.5 - 2.5 micromillimeter in length) rod-shaped bacillus called, appro- priately, Bacillus tuberculosis. Rather than advocating “bleeding” or exorcism as the most effective means of treatment, those who treat the disease utilize x-rays, a clean environment, and new drug discoveries. Yes, times have changed. And thanks to strides made by men of the medical profession, we can put consumption” in the closet with the plague , where it belongs. Pat Stiles Frankenstein Project Grabs Awards “Life Outside the Body” is the title of a research project by seniors Jim Milazzo and John Wisner. First presented at last spring's Science Fair, the study centers on the abil- ity of individual body cells to live when re- moved from the rest of the body. Initial research was aimed at finding the tissue best suited for later study, and the results were presented at the Fair. This por- tion of the project received an award of superiority from the Science Pioneers, who sponsor the Fair, an honorable mention from St. Mary’s Hospital, and was chosen as one of the twelve best exhibits by the Kansas City Museum. Based on the results of the first project, further work is in progress, and will be pre- sented to several contests this year. 0 My People.. . What man deserves to be made into a child? What message of strength finds belief when spoken through the lips of an infant? What damnation of evil will strike fear into evil hearts when evoked by a babe? But we have made a Man into a Child. It is perhaps the distinguishing mark of the human race that we tend always to reduce all things to our own level: we ridicule great art, deface great beauty with squalid obscenities, scrawl four-lettered words on the walls of public monuments. And we have made the God-Man into the Infant. There is a great temptation to see the birth of the Christ as an end in itself; we forget that the crib was but a step to the scaffold for Him. The great, solemn mystery of the incarnation is shrouded in a smother- ing and very human emphasis on infancy. Perhaps we feel that a child cannot mean it when He says, The lukewarm 1 will vomit out of my mouth. or, “depart from me into everlasting fire. It is all too easy to bury the hard, cold facts of the spirit along with the physical strength that was Christ’s in a pile of layette. He is much more like ourselves in the manger than on the cross. This tendency brings about the annual growth of a tender hot- house plant, called the poinsettia Catholic. This exotic thrives in an atmosphere of creches and fir trees, but when reminded of the dirt of calvary- and the agony of death quickly withers and fades, to bloom again with the reviving breeze of infantile religion. The tremendous significance of God’s acceptance of humanity in its most helpless state cannot be denied, nor the value of meditation on this fact. But it must be remembered that over His birth was yet the shadow of the Cross, and the gift of embalming myrrh: from crib to cross. The danger lies in too far hiding the more inconvenient truths He taught in the easily emotional circumstances of His birth. Or in what have I grieved you? John Wisner Editorial Director There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. “A time to be bom, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. 14A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build.” Book of Ecclesiastes And Then There Was Light It is fitting somehow that the shortest day of the year should fall toward the end of mourning for the late president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who was kill- ed one month ago this day. At the setting of the sun on this very dark day, the earth will have reached its lowest ebb. To many this is depressing; but in a way, it is most fitting because the days afterward are longer. In a sense, darkness and despair give way to light and hope. The earth has been going through a period of grief and sorrow; how timely that this gloominess and mourning should be lifted finally on Christmas Day, the birthday of Jesus Christ, the Light of the World. Debbie Linton After hearing a tape made by an Army psychologist on one par- ticular method of Communist brainwashing, many listeners probably wondered if they really knew what Communism was about. Possibly they had never taken the time to understand Communism, the evil that could bring about the destruction of the world. The tape dealt with the Chinese Communists' method of educa- tion, an education very different from an education one would receive in America. It showed that Communism does not necessarily live on physical destruction, but the destruction of the mind. The tape proved that the Communists were very successful in destroying the minds of some American soldiers who were captured by the Chinese. In the year 1950, the Korean War was in full gear. Over 1,000 American soldiers were captured by the Chinese. They were not shot down before a firing squad, they were not tortured; to their amaze- ment, they were sent to a prisoner-of-war camp to be educated. Their Chinese instructors spoke 1950 English, using our idioms and slang, and discussed such authors as Hemingway. Steinbeck, and Dickens — auth- ors who had much to say about the social evils that existed under dem- ocratic systems. The Communists used three gimmicks to destroy the human mind. The first gimmick was informing. (The Communists believe that in- forming is a way of life.) They encouraged the soldiers to inform on each other and the informer would receive a reward. The one informed on would be talked to by one of the instructors, but would not suffer any physical punishment. He wasn’t harmed, so he in turn would in- form on his buddy. After all. nobody got hurt by it. But after a while, the soldiers began to trust no one. This was what the Communists wanted. The second gimmick was self-criticism. The Communists wanted the soldiers to form groups and tell each other their weaknesses open- ly and frankly. At first, the soldiers thought this was all a big joke. But soon, each soldier began to fear that everyone knew everything about him, that they could read his mind. The third gimmick was that of controlling the mail. The soldiem received only those letters that concerned death, illness, and divorce. Letters like these depressed the soldiers. Thus the soldiers didn’t trust those around them, nor did they even trust their own privacy of thought any more, and they felt aband- oned by their country, families, and friends. They began to believe the Communists when they said that Communism was concerned about their welfare. And, after all, hadn’t the Chinese treated them well? They weren’t harmed physically, they got their mail, they had recrea- tion, and the food was better than nothing. The Chinese didn’t want to make the American Soldiers active Communists, nor did they want information about military strategy. All they wanted was to condition the soldiers to the point where they would accept the Communistic way of life. And they succeeded But why? Hadn’t these soldiers been fighting for the country they loved, to protect the freedom of the people they loved, with the help of their Creator? In a report to one of his superiors, a Chinese instructor stated that the typical American soldier in this camp had weak loyalties to his country, to his religion,, to his family, and to himself. The success of Communism, then, depends on us. What are we, as American citizens, going to do? The author of the tape explained that if we are to win this war of men’s minds, then we must arm ourselves with strong national and religious principles; and we must know what Communism really is — we must know our enemy.

Monsignor J. B. Sullivan, Chancellor of the Kansas City and St. Joseph diocese, spoke on “Responsibility as Americans and Catholics.” He said, “Become involved in issues; you may not be right always but you will be acting in a responsible way. . .you’ve got to stick your neck out. Father L.J. Twomey, editor of Social Order, in his talk on “Cath- olic Social Action: Theory and Practice explained the principles of the school newspaper by saying, The school newspaper should be an ex- tension of the educational process and it should do more than just re- port. It should make Catholic truth relevant. Further pursing nis topic, Father Twomey said, “In America the Church of the poor Christ has become an image of the middle class white man.” It Had To Happen Today, more than ever before, there is a revitali- zation of our American heritage. The young people of this nation will no longer accept the paths the liberals are taking. They yearn for leadership that has been absent from the Washington scene for the past thirty years. This yearning alternative to liberalism I speak of is a conservatism. Perhaps the most outspoken person on conserva- tism is Senator Barry M. Goldwater of Arizona. He ex- plains his views on all matters of national concern in his two books, The Conscience of a Conservative and Why Not Victory? He vigorously attacks big govern- ment and our antiquated foreign policy. On big government he says: We don’t want the Federal Government wet-nursing Americans from the time they are born to the time they die. If we take from a man the personal responsibility for caring for his material needs, we take from him also the will and opportunity to be free.” On foreign policy he says, “We should make it clear in the most explicit terms that Communist gov- ernments are not tolerated in this Hemisphere-and that the Castro regime, being such a government will be eliminated. . .” Goldwater’s brand of conservatism has reinvigor- ated the American political climate. Conservatism is deeply rooted in our American tradition through the Jeffersonian mistrust of big government, the convic- tion that Americans should run their own private lives with minimum of federal controls, handouts, and taxes. It has had a strong appeal to millions of Americans in recent years. Something new that is also old is on the move in this land of ours. The rich traditions of the American past are reasserting themselves. It had to happen soon- er or later. Bob Vickery Students are invited to comment on any article appearing in The Mieg- ian via The Grumble Box. . . You cannot be passive. . .” The editor of the Catholic Reporter, Robert Hoyt, in his talk “Race Relations in the Student Press stated: “If the crucifixion were happening now, we should prefer Jack Parr. The enemy of justice is boredom and indifference. We have heard freedom is necessary for artistic truth. The tension between authority and freedom becomes dynamic. Father Henry L. Forge, former teacher here at Miege, spoke on “The Liturgy and Christian Action. He said, “There was no segrega- tion in the early church. Though many, we are one. The body makes us one.” Father quoted the writer, Dieckmann, who said, “We do not pro- claim the death of the Lord, hut rather triumph the blasphemy if we receive Christ’s Body but do not allow Negroes for our tablemates. If you were on a deserted island with twenty or some others, about your own age, no adults or anyone to restrict you, wouldn’t that be heaven? Or would it? In Lord of the Flies, this is exactly the situation. At first, of course, it was heaven. But then things began to happen. The boys whose plane crashed on the island formed a government, elected a leader (whose symbol of authority was a conch shell), and made plans to be rescued. As the story progressed, ideas changed, and the boys gradually lapsed into savagery. The story is somewhat complicated, but holds the reader’s interest throughout. I suggest reading the book or, at least, seeing the movie. Diane Orr The following letter was written to Ed Daly and his family by Chris Bouehez, exchange student to Miege in 1961-62. Dear Family, What should I say after the horrible news that we heard Friday night here in France about an hour after the death of President Kennedy. I could hardly believe it and I know how much must be the despair and sor- row of every American family. And here, in France, we have felt the loss of a great man and of a friend. I think that the unamimous surprise which followed his death show how much Kennedy was appreciated in every country of'the world and how much he worked for all the men of the world. He was young, he had a very nice family and was the incarnation of a man who gave all his strength and his life so that every man in the world could be free. He was a great man, and the loss is great not only for the States but also for all the world. My parents join me to express their sorrow for the loss that you must feel greatly. I’ll close here, nothing more needs to be said. In those circumstances, words cannot express all the thoughts and feelings. Love to all, Chris - 125 - Nancy Curtis “talks” to deaf students about the earth. Language of The Hands “To understand the world is better than to hear it. Bringing God to the world of the deaf by means of a language of the hands has been the project started approximately five years ago at the Olathe School for Deaf by Fr. Kelly Lawrence, St. Patrick’s Parish. Bethel, and Srs. Patrick, Baptista, Thomas, and Kevin. Since then, with the help of Barbara Fischer. Margo Habiger, and Nancy Curtis, seniors, children are being helped to understand, though they cannot hear. The school for the deaf aids deaf and partially deaf children through their language - the language of the hands. The signs the girls use are universal for the deaf and vary little in their making. For example, as shown in the picture, the word earth is said” by forming a circle with the thumb and index finger and placing them on the back of the opposite hand with a rocking motion. The circle is the earth; it rocks on its axis. This is clear to the teacher as well as the child, whereas a more wordy explanation might tend to confuse. As the words are formed with the hands they are sounded by the teacher. The children watch and copy the lip formations. Through con- stant mouthing and mimicking, the words are actually spoken though the child cannot hear them. These children have marvelous personalities. They are like any grade school children. They have secrets, too, but have a unique way of telling them. They cover the hand telling the tale with the free hand so only the person for whom the secret was meant sees the story. They laugh at each other and only they understand their jokes. They are quick to respond and understand, too. because the response must be watched and understood at the same time or the silent world in which they live becomes present again. These children have a tremendous handicap to overcome; but with good teachers, time, and lots of patience, these children can and will meet the world with understanding and a smile, though they cannot hear.

Selling-pitches range from a headline reading: Quick Money Mak- er (a night light that is supposed to run for 100 yearsi to a sour puss in a Ben Casey shirt who has an important message for every man and woman in America who is losing his or her hair. Readers are ad- monished not to cut corns, calluses, warts ; but to use new magic rub-out. Economy-minded homemakers are attracted to this one: Dresses-24 cents; shoes-39 cents; men’s suits-$4.75; trousers-! 1.20; better used clothes. (Heaven only knows who used them first). Even the Church enters in. Father Jones endorses an elixir to cure coughs due to colds. Mothers are urged to buy religious costumes to inspire their little girl or boy. The idea is to see how quietly they assume the air of those who have dedicated their lives to God and to help them through this fine and imaginative play, to plan their live . . .the Catholic way.” Little nun and priest costumes only cost $8.95 apiece. All the above are noteworthy either because of the product or ad- vertising method, but one deserves the first prize for sheer cleverness. It features an overly-muscular male and exhorts the consumer-reader to check the kind of body you want (I wonder how they would send something like that through the mail). pat gt-j Undefinable Time - an undefinable! Time is an intangible that Ijas been pond- ered over in the minds of all great and even petty men! It has been said of it - Time waits for no man. But just what is time? Many abstract characteristics have been given to this intangible substance. Time, for instance, has been defined in the dictionary, as, infinite duration - and so it is. Time outlasts splendid forests, glist- ening lakes, majectic mountains, glorious monuments, and grand men. The clock will keep its steady ticking until the end of the world: it won’t stop when man loses faith or when mountains give out - it’s in- finite. Time is ever fleeting, it ticks on and on, waiting for no mortal man. It offers gifts but doesn’t stay to beg for their reception - it goes on to the next man. Man can not let a moment go by and not take ad- vantage of it for time won't linger. But time doesn’t tick on idly, it moves its finger across the crust of the earth leaving its mark to remind humanity of the existence of a friend-enemy! With a flick of its wrist it can move mountains, make soil, and transform seas as if they were but paper light knolls and sugar crystal ponds. Time reaches into the sky to tidy the heavens, plucking out stars and rechartering the paths of planets and trails of comets. Even as a lonely man ponders on the endurance and languor of time and a young man meditates on its velocity and grandeur, still no definite terms have been said to defend time . So man, in his ever search for knowledge and grasping out for answers, lives forever with time - an undefinable!

Janean Harnden COMMENTS. . .Pam Atchity With Boughs of Holly” Seldom do we think about the cheery Christmas greenery and “reddery that deck the halls, but there is really quite a background behind this well-known and much-loved decoration. Holly has been emphasized for centuries as a popular winter decor- ation, originating with the old Romans who used it during their feasts, carried it in their processions, and even considered it a worthy crown for their many gods. The Druid idea of holly was that the plant's eter- nally green leaves gave proof to the belief that the sun never complete- ly deserts the earth; so the holly was considered sacred. For all you witch believers, the holly is said to have mysterious powers which can ward off witches if planted near the home. All of you chronic hypochondriacs who are also self-cure-alls, try the syrup from the holly which is said to cure that winter cough. For all the dreamers in our midwinter nights, place a bit of holly on your bedpost, and you’ll have pleasant dreams. Besides these folk tales there are several stories and legends with a more Christian and Christmas touch to them. One story tells of the immortality. Because it concealed Christ when his enemies were search- ing for Him, it was allowed to keep its leaves all year, thus becoming the emblem of immortality, with the promise of life everlasting. In connection with Christmas also, holly has come to represent the crown of thorns worn by Christ, the berries originally being white, but turning to red as Christ’s blood painted them crimson. Another beautiful legend relates how on the first Christmas night, the shep- herds went to the manger with a little lamb following them. The lamb was caught by holly thorns and the red berries are the blood drops that froze on the branches. A last and most warming thought is the custom for those who had quarreled to end their conflict beneath branches of the holly tree. All of this is the why and what about holly at Christmas. The Christmas Tree Don’t Miss the Mistletoe! Every year about one or tWb weeks before Christmas, everybody frantically looks for a big. bushjrgreen tree for Christmas.

The Red, led by Jim Bornheimer with 27 points, gave a final desperate splurge in the last quadrant. Jim Shaunty and Jim Graben- horst also broke the 10 point column for the Red with 14 and 12 points respectively. Standouts on the Blue were John Wall, who gunned in 18 for Blue high points hon- ors, and his little brother, Richard who led the team in rebounds, making 8 fouls and a couple points. Dan Watkins and Joe Kraai aided the big Blue considerably with 12 points a piece. Intramural Basketball The champs of the ’63 intramural basket- ball was Team 6 with a 9-2 record. They were Tom S wort wood, (captain), Mike Glae- ser, Jim (Butchen Milazzo, Ambrose Petree, Denis Abeel, John Holtz, and John Overton. The high scorers of the leagues were Bill Rhodes of the major league, and Mike Doer- en of the minor league who was around the 400 marker for the season. Farewell Football ’63 After my last sadistic article, it takes great courage to once again formulate my thoughts and put them in print. Recently, a threaten- ing letter was neatly taped to my locker (contents censored); my only clues were a red hair which had carelessly fallen into the envelope and a giant thumb print. But I will stand my ground as a courageous coward- setting the standards for truth, justice, and the easy way. The football season is closed and it seems only fitting that recognition should be given to some of our more deserving athletes: Sympathy-pretty Tommie Dwyer suffered a sprained eyelash; gunner Denny dislocated an ear lobe; nothing happened to dynamic Dave Crisco- he’s tough; whiz West slowed down a bit after receiving a blackened toe- nail. Congratulations to the “Filthy Four” on lasting the entire season without keeping one training rule and to Tommie Ham who spiced the season with is constant idiocy. Pin a medal on Johnnie C. who frightened more people with his laugh than his football tactics and lover Chief for his tactics. Also, tag a star on all those giants of the gridiron who were all part of the season's success. Farewell Football '63. Cyclones Pull Game Out of Fire With 27 seconds to go, Ward Quarter- back Bill Lindquist hit Gene Knox with a pass to the end zone to give Ward a 13-7 victory. This put an end to one of the hard- est-fought games of the year. The first half was a scoreless duel in which defense prevailed. The Miege line, led pri- marily by Tom Dwyer, completely halted al- most every offensive threat presented by the Cyclone attack. Dick Wall, a junior tackle, and Mike Bader, a senior line-backer also stood out for the Stags. At the start of the second half, it looked like the tide had turned in favor of Miege. Taking the ball on their own 28, Miege marched unstopped into their own zone. Dave Martin, who scored the extra point, carried eight times in this drive. Ward, however, refused to fold. Led by the passing of Bill Lindquist, Ward took the ensuing kick-off and promptly scored an equalizing T.D. But the Miege line held on the extra point attempt and retained the 7-6 lead. In the fourth quarter, Jim Garner was back to punt. The snap from center was high, and Ward took over with 2 minutes left in the game. From here. Ward went on to score and carried off the spoils of victory. Even with Ward holding the advantage with 27 seconds left. Miege refused to give up. Jim Grabenhorst connected with Dennis Harris on a 45-yard pass play as the gun went off. The rushing yardage went mostly to Mart- in, who had 111 yards in 31 carries. Tom Geraghty carried 7 times for 31 yards and Dan West had 5 for 17. Stags move in on Ward ball carrier. Big Win for Stags With a last quarter surge, the Stags over- came Argentine in a gruelling B-Ball chal- lenge 76-75 on December 6, at Miege. The duration of the game was closely fought, with Argentine ahead by one point at half- time. The mustangs were heavily favored but this made little difference to the Stags, who needed this one and took it. Standouts in this gruelling game were Jim Bornheimer with a high score of 26 points, and Mike De- Coursey, with 18. The Stags had it tough staying in the game the first half, with Argentine piling up a shooting average close to 60%, but the Miege five finally overcame the half-time deficit to truly show the consistent team play that can be expected this year. Stags Take Opener In the first contest of this 63-64 basketball season, Miege defeated Olathe 60-57 in a tough battle. After falling behind as much as nine points in the first half, the Stags came back with only a one-point deficit half-time score. Led by the responsive shooting of Jim Shaunty and Mike DeCoursey, the adept Miege team quickly rose to the occasion and took the lead immediately starting the sec- ond half. This well-deserved lead was then maintained by the Stags for the remaining part of the game. Although, at times the lead dwindled somewhat, the boys remained true to form in their first step toward a vic- torious season. Both Shaunty and DeCoursey scored 16 points while Jim Bornheimer, last year’s K.C.K. high point man, was held to 10 points. The other scoring was as follows: Grabenhorst-7, Doeren-7, and Harris-4. - 128 - The MIEGIAN Bishop Miege High School Shawnee Mission, Kansas Vol. 6, No. 5 January 27, 1964 Leslie Rohr Short story 2nd poetry Diane Lusk 1st essay Nancy Gaines 1st poetry Mary Virginia McLoughlin Short story Anne Sexton 2nd essay Mary Carney 3rd poetry Jim Brock Short story Ken North 3rd essay Mary Ellen Cross Honorable mention poetry Miegian Literary Winners The junior class placed high with 7 out of 10 win- ning entries in the 6th annual Miegian Literary Con- test.

Actually, though, the parallel is closer then we think between the first and the second coming of the Lord. It would be well for each of us to plan his life around an “Advent” principle. The Advent we celebrate before Christmas is a time of preparation for His coming. Old animosities are temporarily at least, buried; friendships are renewed; love abounds. The life of each one of us should be an “Advent.” For, knowing “neither the day nor the hour,” we cannot afford to live “in sin” to die in hatred, or to leave any man other than a friend when the King returns.

The heat of the summer day mirrored itself in defeat on the face of the young man who shuffled slowly down the narrow main street of the little town. The two and three-story buildings seemed to close in on him and oppress him, just as the people had done that he met this day. He saw a small cafe halfway down the street and decided to go in and buy a cold drink and some lunch, and perhaps get a kind word from a fellow-customer. The cafe was very dark and dingy, but the cool air from within came as a welcome relief to the dusty stranger. He eased his tired body onto the peeling red plastic cover of the lunch counter stool. When the waitress, a frowzy young woman in a dirty green and white uniform, came over to him, he smiled shyly and began to order. He had just finished placing his order, when his words were cut off sharply by the shrill voice of the waitress: “Sorry, Mister, we don’t serve your kahnd in heah.” Regretfully he slipped from the stool and went out into the summer heat. Although he had received many such insults from every side since he had been there, he still hadn’t gotten used to it, and each remark still caused a bitter sting. As he proceeded down the street, he accidentally jostled an elderly woman. Because of the surprise of the impact, the woman was pushed off balance and fell, scattering her packages around her. Almost instantly a shouting crowd gathered and surrounded the stranger and he was accused of everything from assault and bat- tery to attempted murder. Soon, a policeman joined the angry crowd and after many minutes of heated argument, he convinced the officer that he had meant no harm, and that a small accident had merely occur- red. But throughout the long day the angry voice of the policeman followed him saying: “Trash, always causin’ trouble fo' us decent folk! Why can’t they stay out of trouble for a minute?’’ And so the stranger’s day went. Insult after insult, rebuff after rebuff. As the angry red sun retreated be- hind the dusty buildings of the town, a weary stranger slowly walked toward the little oneroom flat that he called “home.” And in the dusk all that could be heard was the prayer of the stranger: “Father, if it is pos- sible, remove this chalice from me, but not my will, but thine be done.” J I FOUR CORNERS by Diane Lusk - sophomore • 1st Place essay There are four corners to the field of a man’s heart. In one corner, dark and dirty and cold, a small child crouches, and cries. The waif is frail and ill-cloth- ed, starving very likely. His mouth is small and twisted, the eyes are set deep in blue-black caverns—the only color in the ghostly white face. They glisten rather than shine; gnawing hunger, desperate fear, and un- bearable sorrow peer out from the blackness at you. The nose is red and chapped from many sleeve wipings. His hair is girlishly long and hangs twisted in unkempt strands. The face is a haunting face, one that remains ever before your eyes, though you shut them and turn away. His neck and shoulders pull into each other tightly as though sheltering the head from the wind or expecting a blow. A pitiful, yearning creature whose uncried pleas would wrench any heart were they heard. But the dark corner muffles his whimperings and hides the streaming tears. In another corner there is a hill with March breezes blowing the long October yellow grasses. On top of the hill sits a young girl about fifteen in rolled-up blue jeans, dirty sneakers, and her father’s old white shirt- untucked, of course, the shirttail flaps in the wind. A strip of a light scarf tied around her head manages to keep the blonde hair out of her eyes but just barely. Her lips are slightly parted, in rapture at the glorious twilight that stretches from the diffusing scarlet along the horizon in soft gold fingers and gentle purple shad- ows to the foot of her hill. The girl breathes deeply with her whole being as if to taste the purity of beauty and wildness of freedom that surrounds her. She hugs her knees and stares at the sky and dreams great and wonderful things. The third corner holds a well. For some hearts it goes very deep; others have only a shallow pool. The well is not always full; sometimes it is dryer than east- wind dust; other times it floods the entire field. Some- times it gurgles like a mountain spring after April thaw; sometimes it is quiet and cool like night. But always its depth is there for filling. In the fourth corner stands a high jagged boulder, and all around the boulder sweeps a roaring gale. The swooping wind is warm and wild. It is a storm of power and furious sound. It would batter the strength of the weak but fulfill and exhilarate the strong. The flashing dark sky breaks way for brilliant shafts of light that do not come down from the heavens but pull up from the earth. Never does the roaring wind stop while the heart lives. And in the middle of a man’s heart are his hands. Powerful or caressing, strong or gentle, busy or inert, outstretched or grasping—a man’s hands are in the center of the field of his heart, the center of the four corners. - 131 - by Mary Virginia McLoughlin - junior It all began 26 years ago. On May 5, 1931 Lloyd Alexander Cambridge III was born, an impressive name for an unimpressive sight, for Lloyd Alexander Cam- bridge III was deformed. He was a freak, a mishap of nature, born with one hand missing and the other hand deformed. Being a dwarf seemed, somehow naturally, to complete the indescribable freakishness of his ap- pearance that nature had burdened this unspeakable poor soul with. His legs were shorter than his torso, and he walked with a snakelike motion. His eyes were brown, the large round type; his nose was enormous and turned up at the end, and his mouth was small and revealed black teeth of which many were missing. The thumb and second finger on his right hand were missing. Thus Lloyd, better known as Stuckie, was al- most completely helpless. Disowned by parents and relatives, he was raised in orphanage after orphanage. Now, 26 years later, Stuckie found himself working at a carnival. It was a small carnival which had a dozen booths and even fewer rides. Most of the booths were honest- ly run although, as in most carnivals, a few crooked ones slipped in. The rides were good but not good enough to pay 35 t for, yet people came, foolish enough to pay this ridiculous fee for a few seconds of fun. Life at this carnival held just enough excitement just enough money, to keep the pitiful band of carnival people together. How the owners of the rides and booths night is falling by Anne Sexton - senior - 2nd place essay As soon as the city woke up one morning, a crowd gathered in front of a vacant church. Those who were able to push and shove effectively could see the igno- minious word that had been chalked on its wall the night before. Later that morning, a previously-respected states- man mentioned this word before the Senate in a speech concerning the nation’s history and destiny. His party immediately began looking for a candidate to run for office in his place next election. About noon, a coin-collector found some old coins which were to have been turned in to the government many years ago. He compared these coins with then- replacements and wondered why Uncle Sam went to all that trouble to delete one short phrase from his money. In mid-afternoon, school children were carefully indoctrinated against bad language and the defacing of public places such as that church. On the way home, some of these young students found a block of wet ce- ment. The temptation presented by such a sight found the children in a vulnerable mood. When they left, the smoothness of the cement was interrupted by the let- ters of a certain word. In a few hours, the cement impression of the word “God” was barely readable. Night was falling on the nation. hated the crowds, hated the people who had so much more than they, who were allowed to enjoy life, who wore expensive clothes and drove new cars. Oh how they hated them for being better off than they. How they dreaded each new crowd of gigglish girls, boys too young to be smoking, and parents carrying children too young for fun. How they envied and hated them all! Yet this band of meandering souls was satisfied that life had given them all there was to living “for their kind.” None of them had ever known the joys of love and caring for others and being loved. As long as they themselves were not put out or injured in any way, they lived and worked on. The carnival, “Fun For All,” as it was always bill- ed, moved from town to town, city to city, never stay- ing more than a week in any one place. Stuckie worked for the carnival and moved with it. His job was to be MUSINGS OF A COMMUTER by Mary Camey - junior - 3rd place poetry A brief wait, then the compartment arrived. I stepped up and in, paid and was seated. Next to me sat a lady with a whining pup. Across from me a man with an odd looking hat, Whom I greeted without avail, for he was napping And in some far away place, for he kept saying, “Who’s tapping, tapping while I’m napping?” I espied with curiosity All the people and each their own obstentrocity. Then I pondered as I wondered, “Who are these people and what do they do?” Then I answered myself, “They’re bankers, brokers, Even clothes might they launder.” “They’re my relations, and yours, Be they Atheist, Catholic or Jew.” But do they speak? No, indeed not a word do we leak. We think about one another and silently say, “Hello, how are you—nice weather today.” Then, we’ve thought, and formulated Just the right words so not to be scoffed And they ring the buzzer to let the driver know They’re ready to get off! - 132 put on display. Each night Stuckie dressed in plain slacks and a striped shirt to make him more hideous, for this brought the crowds. He climbed down into a sunken platform inside a trailer. The outside was white and covered with posters of the “horrors, chills, and thrills” that awaited the crowds inside. Sam, the ticket- seller, stood in a booth with one small sign, “See the World’s Worst Freak. Only 25«.” The inside was small. Against one wall stood Stuckie’s sunken platform. The inside of the trailer was painted black, and the only light was trained on Stuckie’s platform. This was a clever idea because all attention was immediately drawn toward Stuckie. For 25« people were ushered in to “The World’s Worst Freak,” and then quickly usher- ed out again. Stuckie hated this job. After 26 years of a worth- less empty life, he learned to hate only one thing more than his decrepit crippled body; and this was pity. Stuckie hated pity with all the strength of his soul, and pity was on the face of every onlooker. Stuckie hated these people who paid to see him - at every town a new batch of smiling faces embarrassed, now by their own morbid curiosity. At each town a new set of faces pitying him, sorry that they had now seen how cruel life had been, afraid that the future might hold for them something as terrifying and dreadful, as revolt- ing, as was the fate of Stuckie. At every town more faces looking, staring with burning eyes, screeching at his very soul, until he wished for the hot pains of hell to destroy his anguished pitiful body. How often Stuck- ie had thought of how wonderful death would be, and he wondered if he should wait for the cruel fate which had wrought him to end his life, or whether he should take matters into his own hands. Stuckie was terribly bitter. He had once believed that there was a God. But the one spark of faith placed in his soul had failed to enkindle the rest of his soul, and slowly it was ebbed out by the onrushing waters of resentment and hate. Even when a lady once told him that God gives those He loves the most, the heav- iest crosses to bear, he cursed her. Her attempt was also hindered by the resentment that his soul brewed. Stuckie only knew that he was a freak to whom this God had shown no mercy. That was as far as his drown- ed soul could reason. And as he continued to give rise to the resentment and hate which engulfed him it be- came only a matter of months before the word of God failed to exist in his mind. Finally one night, as he stood on his sunken plat- form, Stuckie could no longer stand the inquring faces, the hotness of the burning floodlight, or the smell of hot and sticky people. He signaled to the ticket seller. Sam did as Stuckie bid him and turned away the rest of the crowd. Stuckie left by the back door, and slow- ly, so as not to attract attention, walked from one shadow to another, until he reached Duke’s trailer. Duke, the owner and manager of the carnival, answer- ed his knock. “Oh, it’s you, Stuckie. Come on in.” Stuckie made his way into the trailer. It was a junky trailer, filled with cigar smoke, dirty dishes, and clothing scattered about. The bed was unmade, and the floor unswept. Duke, a tall, lean, and harsh looking man, sat be- hind a desk piled high with papers and bills. His black mustache and greasy slicked down hair and sideburns atop dark, piercing, menacing eyes, gave Duke the ap- pearance of a crafty business man, yet only crafty enough to own and run a small carnival. “Sit down, Stuckie. What’s on your mind?” Stuckie took the chair offered him. “Duke, I can't take it any longer; all those faces, their pity. Give me a job with the machinery, setting it up, keeping it in condition, any work that can be done before the people show up. Please, Duke, I’ll take a cut in salary. Just give me a job away from the crowds.” “No dice, Stuckie.” “But Duke------.” “Stuckie, what would you possible do? You can’t even hold an oil-can, much less help set things up. Be- sides, Stuckie, you’re valuable. You bring in more money than any other booth or ride; people enjoy see- ing you, makes ’em feel superior, sort of; well, you know, glad that it’s you down there and not one of them. At the core human nature is a morbid and rot- ten thing. People jump at a chance to see you. Nope, I’m sorry Stuckie, but you’ll have to stick to what you’re doing.” Slowly Stuckie wiggled until his feet could touch the ground and rose from the chair. His twisted gnarl- ed fingers grasped the door-knob and slowly turned it. He let the door slam. Once again he was defeated. Stuckie made his way back to his trailer. Slowly he reached for the special door-knob which turned easily and entered the trailer. It was a neatly kept trailer. The dishes were washed and stacked, the beds made, and the floor swept. Too depressed to undress, he crawled into bed. It was a hot sticky night. Water seemed to hang in the air. Stuckie was crying now. The vivid picture of the evening flashed across his mind. He could no longer stand life. It was now defi- nitely unbearable. His eyes wandered around the dark trailer until they stopped to gaze upon a long shiny ob- ject. It was a butcher knife. He had used it almost every night, and he had often cut himself accidentally, but now----. His feet carried him toward the gleaming object. In the darkness he tripped on a pair of shoes, but he quickly regained his balance. Slowly, thought- fully, he paused and looked at the knife. The long, sharp, gleaming blade stood out before his eyes. Slowly, very slowly, his hand moved toward the knife. He touched the counter and quickly grasped the wooden handle. He held the knife to his wrist. Was life this bad? Should and could he take his own life? Yes, it had brought him nothing but misery. Slowly, with an in- tense air of calmness, he pushed the knife into his wrist. Just as his life sustaining blood began to flow, a loud explosion startled him. He dropped the knife. A thin trickle of blood ran down his fingers. He could feel its warm stickiness. Shouts and yells for help reached his ears. There were cries of “Fire’ and Explosion. continued next page 133 Stuckie grabbed a rag, tied it tightly around his wrist, death made him shudder! Suddenly the realization hit and ran out the door of his trailer. him. He didn’t want to die. The commotion was coming from the vicinity of the Ferris Wheel. In his excitement Stuckie forgot about the crowds and ran toward the area. When he got there, he found things in shambles. The man who ran the Ferris Wheel lay on the ground grasping his arm which had been half torn off by the explosion. Several people who had been knocked to the ground were starting to get up, still dazed by the explosion. The one side of a refreshment stand had been blacken- ed by the intense heat of the explosion. Smoke and flames poured out of the Ferris Wheel’s motor. At this moment Stuckie’s trance was broken by the voice of Duke yelling at the crowds to get back, there would be another explosion. Panic seized the crowd and every- one ran. As Stuckie started to hobble away as best his tortured body would let him, he heard a scream. “My baby, my little girl,” a woman screamed. “She’s on the Ferris Wheel!” The crowd gawked in amazement, for there in the top seat of the Ferris Wheel sat a little girl, all alone. The woman ran to Duke. “Do something! She’ll be killed!” She grasped Duke by the shoulders. “Climb up and get her! Just do something! Duke pulled away from her. “Not me, lady, That thing is going to explode any minute. I don’t want to be killed, and I’m not risking my neck for some kid.” Before Stuckie realized what he was doing, he was heading for the Ferris Wheel. His hand clutched the hot steel of the Ferris Wheel. As quickly as his deform- ed hand would allow, he climbed from beam to beam. Someone in the crowd cried out and pointed to Stuckie. Shrieks of horror were on the lips of the crowd. “Stuckie,” Duke yelled, “Come down or you’ll be killed. The whole thing’s going to blow sky-high any minute.” Stuckie looked to the top of the Ferris Wheel where the little girl sat frozen in terror. The top seem- ed like an eternity away. Could he make it without be- ing killed? He doubted it. He started back down. Sud- denly the thought of his previous actions came back to him. He glanced at the now red cloth binding his wrist. He had been willing to give up his life earlier. Why, now that death was almost certain, was he afraid to face it? Once again he looked to the top of the Ferris Wheel and then continued his upward flight. Step by step, inch by inch, he crawled toward the top until finally he reached it. Hanging on with his one hand, he grasped the little girl by the arm. Holding her firmly, he started downward, but in his haste his foot missed the steel beam. There he hung like a loose leaf on a tree. The extra weight of the little girl was slowly pul- ling his hand from the beam. Deliberately fate was pushing, edging his hand off the beam. He had wanted death, and now it would come. Death would bring the desired end of life, the desired peace, the desired re- lease from a useless body. But now these thoughts of “Oh God, if there is a God, give me back my life!” And at that instant he became aware that his foot was touching steel again. He looked to heaven and felt a new surge of energy filter through his body. He look- ed to the earth and the upturned faces of the crowd met his. Horror, absolute terror, was on each and every face. The little girl’s mother was sobbing and hysteri- cal with fear. Slowly and surely now, Stuckie climbed down. He was no longer afraid. He had found someone or some- thing, he didn’t know which, but he had found it. A very wonderful and powerful force was at his side and helping him. He would make it; he knew this. Finally after what seemed a lifetime, his foot touched ground. Still holding the child tightly, he ran as fast as he could until he reached a safe distance from the Ferris Wheel. As he handed the child to her mother, another explo- sion rocked the air. After the smoke had cleared away, nothing re- mained of the Ferris Wheel except the motor out of which thick, black, billowy smoke poured. Stuckie stood and stared at the Ferris Wheel. The crowd was slowly diminishing. The excitement was over. Stuckie pushed past the remaining crowd and walked slowly away from the carnival. He passed by the trailer in which he work- ed, past Duke’s trailer, past the pin-ball machines, and finally past his own trailer. His feet carried him down a long dirt road leading away from the carnival. He would come back later and pick up his few belongings, but now there was a more important job waiting for Stuckie. What this job would be he didn’t know. But he could spend his time and life doing something for the good of man, something much more worthwhile than wasting away in a carnival; and that was all that mattered to Stuckie now. As he walked down the dirt path, he noticed how much greener the grass was, how much brighter the flowers, but most important he rea- lized that life was worth living. Stuckie knew that heavenly help would have been his in earlier life if only he had asked. Instead, he block- ed all this help by refusing to believe in Him from whom it came. He had pleaded for assistance on the Ferris Wheel, and it was given to him. Stuckie knew that Divine Assistance would be his for the asking through- out the rest of his life until the day when his Creator chose for him to shed his deformed and decrepit body and don the garb of an angel. Education in other words, has as one of its primary objects to teach us how to stop and be still and look, how to concentrate our gaze till things begin to reveal their mystery to us. It must teach us to preserve and heighten our sense of wonder, which is the womb of poetry and of philosophy alike: for otherwise, no matter what our book- learning, beauty and life will pass us by. Gerald Vann - 134 - AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR by Jim Brock - junior March tweny-third. On this date the Philips fam- ily moved into their new house. About a week later, just as they had settled down, strange things began happening. Weird noises were heard from the attic. Each night they got worse. On April fourteenth, they abandoned their home. After two weeks, they moved back. Just as before, a week later noises again were heard coming from the attic. This time they reached an all-time high, then they stopped: this time, for all any human knows, they stopped for good. Just as the Philipses thought they were rid of their spirit friend, something else happened. On the night of May first, the doorbell rang—exactly at mid- night. Ken was closest to the door, so he went to an- swer it. A terrified scream was heard, then the sound of a reaper or cycle swishing through the air. When they found Ken, he looked like something in a night- mare. The very next night, the phone rang exactly at midnight. This time Pat answered it. When they found her, they discovered she had died of fright. What should they do? They had no place to go. Just when they decided to sell some furniture and their car and leave, the police asked them not to go. That night a heavy guard was placed on the house. And, just in case someone got in, there were cameras with trip strings and alarms everywhere. That night as the last stroke of the clock marking twelve died away, Mrs. Philips decided she was terribly hungry. “There is no danger,” she thought, so she went to the kitchen. A scream was heard followed by several flashes of cam- eras and ringing of alarms. In less than a twinkling of an eye, the place was full of police. But it was just one- IT’S A DATE. . kathy reynolds Continuing at the Muncipal Auditorium from Feb- ruary 1 through 9 is the Kansas City Sports, Travel, and Boat Show.

The cameras that had been set off were immediately collected, and their film developed. It was found that all the pictures were blurs ex- cept for one. On one picture, there was enough to make the head detective shiver in his boots. On this picture was a very clear picture of the Grim Reaper. Even though it wasn’t a color picture, blood was identi- fied on his scythe. Behind him and to his right was the ghostly form of a man with a deep gash in his head and almost half of his face and hands mangled so bad- ly, bones were showing through. The next night there was no moon. Somewhere in the night an owl hooted and a hound was baying. Mr. Philips lay shaking and awake in his bed. He heard sounds. It was the clock striking midnight. He listened. His heart beat loudly. His breathing was audible. All of a sudden, he heard another sound. It was the thump of footsteps and the swishing sound of a scythe. He froze. The footsteps grew closer and closer. Then the impulse came—run! Flee! He quickly ran through the patio and into the field behind his house. Turning, he saw it. It was so terrifying, he just stood and gaped. It was a coffin—not by any means an ordinary coffin— this one had his name on it! He wheeled around and ran. But it was no good. The coffin followed, propelled by some mysterious force. He changed his direction. So did the coffin. He fell from exhaustion and waited for something to happen. Again, he rose and ran. He cast a look behind him. The coffin was still there. Suddenly he stopped, abruptly reached in his pocket, pulled out his box of Luden cough drops. He took one, and the coffin stopped.

Some prayed. Some softly wept. A few merely laughed, defeating their naive attempt at proving their maturity, by openly revealing their ignorance. Others walked about aimlessly, possessing a nearly zombian appearance, completely desensitized to the babylon of confusion around them by the heavy anesthetic of their own incisive thoughts. But most simply marveled at the transition born in blood, whelp- ed by the hands of malice and apathy, and tempered into the fullness of adulthood by the opposing poles of hope and despair. The transition they underwent was a meaningful one. In its universal quality, it instilled in the minds and hearts of men what legions of kings and prophets, saints and false saviors had labored in vain to do. In this universal quality, it instilled in the minds and hearts of men the long-lost meaning of brotherhood; which for once transcended the walls of blindness, pre- judice, ignorance, and hate, that mock the pretentious- ness of small walls such as Berlin. Truly, for one lingering moment, these walls col- lapsed as brothers of every faith and creed, color and nationality, fell to their knees in silent homage, in silent mourning for their fallen leader, ironically slain by a ballistically insignificant warehouse rifle. The transition was revealing. No longer was Shake- speare’s world a stage, though these events rendered our parts small by comparison. For the masks that each and every one of us don, to satisfy our own ego- tistical desires, crumble as so much plaster of paris in the onslaught of such a horrible hammer. Man pretended in vain, for the forces of sorrow, respect, and love were not to be easily cast by the way- side. Ask those who trembled and prayed, and those who softly wept. Ask those who wandered aimlessly and those who simply marveled. Ask them if they could turn the tide of felling they underwent, ask them if the transition was indeed not revealing. And then, quietly ask them if, at base, all men are not brothers. And after finding out that, in times such as these, all men are cast from the same dye, we may finally see that there is more to this great transition than just significance and revelation. We may well see in it a promise, a pledge that those who are born not of blood, but of the will of God, will not soon forget the things that men have presently endured. Perhaps, in some future time and generation, some- one, somewhere, will bend down and listen to the de- spondent plea of a wayward child. Perhaps someone, somewhere, will stand beside that child when the whole world declares him a Judas; and perhaps that same someone will not be afraid to carry him to his grave and offer a final prayer for society’s greatest miscar- riage. In the final analysis, long after the torch has been passed, long after men have forgotten that lingering moment of brotherhood, and the walls of blindness, prejudice, ignorance, and hate have once more closed about them, two souls may look down upon the earth and then offer solemn benediction for those of us bom of blood. Noted American Poet Reads His Own Poetry At Jewish Center “Poetry is language in the absence of a dictionary,” was the definition Karl Shapiro gave of poetry when he appeared at the Jewish Community Center on De- cember 5, 1963. Mr. Shapiro, reading many of his poems from his various books, was very well accepted by a capacity crowd of 500 people. The reading was followed by a question and answer period. Mr. Shapiro answer- ed the question, “What, in your opinion, is the highest aim a poet can have?” by saying that if a poet writes with a high aim in mind he forgets what he is writing. When asked where he gets his ideas, he answered, “Mostly from other people.” Mr. Shapiro said in an interview after the program that he first began writing in junior high school. He considers Bourgeois Poet the best of his works. He said that sometimes he sits down'and writes poems and is satisfied, while other works, like End Papers, may take weeks. His advice to new poets was, “Keep at it.” Karl Shapiro was born in Baltimore, Maryland on November 10, 1913. In 1947 he was appointed Consult- ant in Poetry at the Library of Congress. From 1950 to 1956 he was editor of Poetry, A Magazine of Verse. In 1945 Mr. Shapiro won the Pulitzer Prize for His V Letters and Other Poems. Books! Books! And More Books! Paperback books of every kind will span the shelves set up especially for them in the library during the week of February 17th. Once again the annual paper- back book fair will bring a great variety of titles in fiction and nonfiction books to suit the needs and tastes of all students. The two-fold purpose of this “circus of books” will be to supply students with the books they desire, and to boost the annual library budget. - 136 - A few of the many children made happy by a visit from FNA Club members, open their sur- Father Norbert Lickteig, chaplain at KU prise bags of candy and toys. Phyllis Di Maio, Sylvia Schutte, MaryEspinosa, Linda Todd, Medical Center and religion teacher at Mary Jo McAulay, Janet Swartz. Mary Andrews, and Diana Dagg share the childrens joy. Miege, accompanied Mrs. Bollig, (not shown) school nurse and moderator of the FNA Club, and its members to the center. Mem- ber shown with Father is Jane Dwyer. FNA Members Spread Cheer at Med Center “Oh boy!” “Look what I got!” “Wow!” As forty-five members of the Future Nurses Club, accompanied by sophomore religion teacher Father Lickteig, and School Nurse and moderator of the club, Mrs. Bollig, distributed the many varieties of “favors” made especially for the children at KU Medical Cent- er, there was a sincere feeling of pride, satisfaction, and gratefulness as all kinds of joyous screams came forth. The children seemed to be very pleased, for some ap- proached the girls and hugged them. “I’ve waited all day for you to come, and I’m so glad you’re here now!” The nurses, including Mrs. Shirley Howard and Mrs. Russell, were just as pleased to see the girls. “The children have been looking forward to this afternoon all day. They’ll be so pleased to see you,” one nurse stated pleasantly. Among the handicaps of the children who attend the school at the Center are mental illness, emotional disturbance, brain damage, and mental retardation. The illnesses of the patients range from cancer to simple broken bones. Others have cerebral palsy and burns. After these handicapped children were presented with “gifts from Santa,” Dr. Ethel M. Leach, co-ordi- nator of orthopedic handicapped children, spoke to the girls at a general assembly, after which the girls were taken to separate wards to share their charity with the patients. “I could just go on talking forever!” said Dr. Leach as she answered questions. As the girls proceeded down the corridors toward their wards, they recognized a familiar face among the many they saw. The face was that of a ’61 graduate, Deanna White, who works as an X-ray technician, and who was just as surprised to see former schoolmates. “What are you guys doing here?” she exclaimed as she, too, recognized familiar faces. When the girls were led into their separate rooms, some were given “their own” patient to talk with and to cheer up. The girls were given a quick rundown on the patient and were told just exactly what the patient was interested in. “Little five-year-old Billy can’t talk too plainly, but he just loves trucks!” The members of the club seemed to love every minute of the visit, for one was heard to say: “Aren’t they just darling! I can’t wait until we can come back!” Mrs. Rita Bristow, R.N., whose daughters Cindy and Jan attend Miege, was there to help. The girls are grateful to her and to all who helped to make their visit successful. The Future Nurses Club received the following let- ter from the associate director, Russell H. Miller, con- cerning their visit: Dear Friends: We are most grateful to all of you for visiting the children in our pediatric section and for the gifts which you so kindly provided to them. The children enjoyed your visit so much and they will derive many hours of pleasure from the gifts. Thank you for this thought- ful gesture. Our sincere thanks to each of you and best wishes for the New Year. Sincerely Yours, Russell M. Miller - 137 - “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. God’s Promise and its fulfillment recalled iijJBible Vigil A different kind of Christmas program at Miege this year, the Bible Vigil, was celebrated with the students on December 19, and with their parents the evening of December 18. Mike Bader began the pro- gram with an explanatory introduction to the Vigil. (John Wisner served in this ca- pacity the previous evening.) This was fol- lowed by the entrance procession led by members of the speech classes w'ho later recited the 0 Antiphons, and followed by Acolytes Don Fortin. Ed Larkin, Larry Viene, and Fred Pinne, Bible Bearer. The choir sang the following selections during the service: O Come, O Come Emmanuel at the processional; I)o You Hear What I Hear? Gloria in Excelsis Deo (Shaw), O Holy Night, Silent Night, and finally Joy to the World at the recessional. Judy Mey- ers, senior, was accompanist. After the Bible was enthroned, there were readings from the Old and the New Testaments which foreshadowed the com- ing of Christ. Readers were Larry Viene, sophomore, and Fred Pinne, senior. Eddie Larkin, sophomore, and Don Fortin, jun- ior, gave a homily in turn on the passages read from the Bible. The audience partici- pated in the service in the silent medita- tion, and in the recessional song, Joy to the World. Bible devotions or vigils are more com- mon in Europe than in the U.S. For two decades now Europeans have held solemn Bible Vigils before important feasts. The devotion, without being a liturgical service, provides the laity with a Bible conscious- ness. A Bible devotion is considered para- liturgical, or aside from the liturgy. The basis of a Bible devotion is the same as that of the Mass of the Catechumens— expression and sitting, the proclamation of the Word of God. In Europe the Bible devotion includes a sermon and instruction of the faithful, interspersed with hymns, and closing with Benediction. The U.S. is not bound with the requirement of Benediction. Similar to the Mass of the Catechu- mens, the Bible Vigil begins with a pro- cession and a reading of scripture concluded with an action. During the hymns, the min- isters come to the lectern and incense the Holy Bible. The celebrant concludes the devotion by “collecting” the people to- gether in their prayers—similar to the col- lect of the Mass.

Left: Mike Bader introduced the Bible Vigil; Larry Viene to read from Old Testament; Ed Larkin to give a homily; Fred Pinne to Christmas is a time of giving, and recently, many neglected families who are so often forgotten through- out the year, enjoyed a happier holiday than ever be- fore. The needy family project, sponsored by Student Council, was carried out successfully in each home- room. Students were permitted to choose any manner of collecting specified items such as money, used cloth- ing, canned foods, toys, etc. They did so with such co- operation, that it not only gave the people receiving this charity a feeling of tremendous appreciation, but also gave each student himself a satisfaction that he contributed to such a worthwhile cause in the true spirit of charity. Because the students were able to deliver their “box of Christmas cheer” to the assigned families, they had the opportunity in many cases to view the decrepit appearances and miserable situations accompanying such poverty-stricken families. One woman whom a group of freshmen boys visit- ed was bed-ridden with the fever of pneumonia, but still managed to thank every one of them for then- heartfelt kindness and urged them to return again, murmuring, “My house is your house, God bless you all.” Similar situations and meaningful “thank you’s” highlighted every delivery made. A note was received from one family in appreciation which read: “I’m sure that your love of God’s Son and His creatures that prompted your kindness, is the most im- portant element; and I’m sure you will, or have already received His blessing and we will ask Him to continue to bless you all.” read from New Testament; Don Fortin to give a homily. 7.

Po Vo’s Visit Home for the Aged After a buffet dinner given by PoVo members in the school cafeteria December 15, the group of approx- imately 100 girls went to Our Lady of Mercy Home to carol and to present gifts to the ladies in the home. Each girl brought two gifts so that all those at the home would be remembered. At the caroling, the ladies delightedly joined in. All the Sisters and Priests who teach at Miege were invited to the dinner and to the caroling after- wards if they wished to go. The Priests who attended were Monsignor Herman J. Koch, Father Blaufuss, Father Rockers, Father Simon, Father Lickteig, and Father Doebele. After dinner, Mary Hess, president of the PoVo’s, presented Sister Philip, moderator, with a gift-a St. Andrew's Bible Missal from the PoVo members. “A great and in- creasing number of young people want to get into college. The colleges are not going to be able to take care of them.” This is not news to our ears - we have heard this fact over and over. The college prob- lem has been argued, discussed, debated and still no answer has been submitted. In view of this rather startling fact, The Ladies Home Journal conducted a forum on “College Education - a right or a Privi- lege?” Participating in the Forum were people from varied walks of life. In commencing their discussion, they tried to set definitions to such ambiguous terms as “college educa- tion” and “learning.” “I really don't know what edu- cation is. . .” was the basic opinion of learned members of the panel. Training was thought to be “the prepar- ing of a person for some practical use of knowledge ac- quired” while the goal of learning was said to be “wis- dom, a greater understanding of self, of other people and of the world and its parts.” According to statistics, many, if not most of the students go to college for prestige and economics - not for intellectual experience. Far too often they are told a college education will add $100,000 to their life earn- ings. Naturally, they tend to put emphasis on things their parents think are important. They go to college, feeling it is a must in order to succeed - not out of cur- iosity - and only the curious can learn. In answer to the query of why he wanted to go to college, “because you have to, to get anywhere” was the most frequent an- swer. And it just isn't so! “The best place for many may not be college at all. For some with special kinds of motivation, college may actually be damaging.” Should public education be extended to college level? Should the doors be thrown open to everyone? All these questions provoked KOLLEGE KORNER by Kathee Powell ® Cathy Doherty, Barbara Yeado and Beverly Yeado wish residents of Our Lady of Mercy Home best wishes. the panel into a heated discussion. It is well known that many can ruin their lives by entering college when it isn’t suited for them - but yet hasn’t everyone the right to pursue an education to the fullest possible ex- tent? Or do they? “It is not the ideal goal of a demo- cracy that every individual be a top brain surgeon. . . it is that every individual realize his potential and live a meaningful and satisfying life.” On a national average, about 50% of those who enter college do not graduate. At Amherst 80% do not graduate - at West Point, it is 25%. Why? Poor pre- paration in high school - the small, unequipped school with a limited choice in courses and poor guidance facilities. But this high drop-out rate isn’t all bad. Many of these students leave for a year and find them- selves, learning if a college education is right for them. When they do come back, they bring a basic essential - motivation; theirs not their parents’! “The student who does not have the desire to learn, who is not motivated, is a practical problem of grave proportions. For the past three decades, educa- tional opportunity has been too easy in this country and taken for granted. We have relegated the teacher to a subordinate place among professional people. We have not made learning simply for the sake of learning seem important.” Isn’t this thought reflected in the parental attitude of looking at grades, not what has been gained; standing on the ridiculous belief that “if you failed in high school, you would fail in life?” Who should be allowed to enter college? Who has the authority and right to decide? Education is “a privilege earned by ability” but how are we to judge the ability of one against another? What is to be our media? It is well known that tests are not good nor even used strictly. College entrance requirements are set by the number of applicants, varying and lowering the standards. What means should we employ in judg- ing who should enroll and who shouldn’t? These ques- tions were asked and yet no answers were found -“only” ideas, theories and indecision. - 140 - Practicing for caroling: Jean Harvey, Karin Spinner, Bill Sine, Dave Davenport, Kathy O’Connor, Bob Bibb, Steve Sorenson.

Sophs Carol at Rest Home On the evening of December 23, spirited sopho- more carolers undertook the final phase of a Christmas project, to sing at the Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged. The expressions on the elderly people’s faces told all that the project was a big success, and proved that a little cheer could go a long way. Sum- marizing the feeling of satisfaction which the carolers experienced, one soph said, “I wish we could go Easter caroling.” This was one of many class projects by which the sophomores hope to become acquainted with various social institutions in this area. Through determination and daily rehearsals in the art room after school for two weeks before the per- formance, the carolers voices began to blend in har- mony. As gradual improvement could be heard, every- one, especially President John Gillie, discovered that vocal chords could be used for more than just talk. Carnival Time A Success Again This year’s annual carnival at Miege brought some new undertakings as well as the yearly traditions. The Jr. Future Teachers’ Club sponsored the Fun House. The Spanish Club’s People to People booth was Hit Poncho. The N.F.L. had another new idea. Pictures were taken with polaroid of kids whose heads com- pleted headless, life-sized characters. The Library Club sponsored a new booth, the Pick-a-Key where the right key in the lock doubled your money. But Miege has her traditions and the carnival would be incomplete without them. Such is the turtle race and the penny-pitch taken care of by the Art Club and the Jr. Math Club. The Sr. Math Club was again held responsible for the auction of Miegians as slaves. The Letterman’s Club put spice in the evening by jail- ing anyone for one thin dime. The Science Club sold chances on a rabbit between mice races and Y.C.S. held a drawing for a transistor radio. Two fortune wheels provided a little “come on,” for the Industrial Arts and Sr. Future Teacher Clubs. The Nurses Clyb and the Home Ec Club furnished refreshments: pop corn, cup cakes, and brownies. The student lounge was filled the entire evening by those wishing to dance or just sit down and talk. The profit made this year by the various clubs has been put in the Student Council fund and may be made available to the clubs when the need arises.

She has been awarded membership in Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Jeanne, who left Miege before we got to know her, was a member of the National Honor So- ciety and editor of the school paper. Now she is senior class president and a math major. She is also a com- petent Spanish student, a member of Student Coun- cil, and a member of the Fall Festival and Centennial Committees, while finishing her college term at the Mount. Remember Joe Hartnett? He joined the Marines, as did Mike Thoennes and Steve Kidwell, both of whom graduated two years ago. Joe has just spent three months in “boot camp” and one month at Camp Pendleton, California for advanced combat training. Watch out though; he’s on the prowl, “Sign up some- one else—it means five extra days leave.” Rich McGill, ’62, fondly known as “Smally Hog,” has been seen around town recently. Rich was home on leave from the Air Force Academy. Quite a change from being Student Council president. I)an Furst, ’62, now attending Rockhurst, appear- ed in that school's presentation of Medea, January 9- 12. His role required the growth of a beard and Dan hated to get rid of it, but Jesuits are anti-beard. Other Alum were seen at the Christmas Carnival. They remarked how different things seem after you leave high school. These former Miegians were: Jean- nine Allen and Dave Fortin, Mary Ann Kahler and Steve Murray, Rich McGill, Tom McCabe, all ’62 grads. Also Don “Foot” Gerling, Rich Butler, Steve Hudson, Mike Pyle, and Bill Weis, ’63 grads. Janean Hamden 141 Miege Mixed Chorus Sings on Plaza Members of the Miege mixed choir sang favorite Christmas carols on the Plaza from 7:30 to 8:00 the evening of December 19. Other area schools sang at half- hour intervals throughout the evening. The voices were carried over a wide area of the Plaza by loud speakers. In spite of the high snow and low degree temperature, most of the choir members were present and their singing brought forth many exclamations of de- light from passersby. Sr. Marie Therese is choir director. Students Serve Others as TAMS You feel like you're really helping them,” said Rosalind Eckstrom in explaining her interest in work- ing with physically handicapped children. Realizing her desire for a career in physical therapy, Rosalind joined the TAMS (Teen-Age Monitors), a group or- ganized in the fall of 1960 with the purpose of expos- ing young people to the problems and needs of the physically handicapped and training these people to fulfill the needs of the disabled. Some of the children the TAMS work with are mentally retarded; most, however, have cerebral palsy which presents a unique problem. “You have to avoid doing too much for them. Most of them are as smart as other children. Some of them are even smarter. The children are so happy you don’t really notice their disability,” Rosalind contin- ued. Rosalind was recently elected president of the Kansas City branch of TAMS. Twenty-five high schools and junior high schools participate in this program. Of the club’s two hundred members, twenty-two are from Miege. The number includes: Jackie Ring, Sarah Wisneski, Beth Alexander, Margo Habiger, Diane Mon- roe, Ann Horan, Kathy Horan, Carol Jones, Laura Booker, Jeanean Jones, Rosemary McDonald, Candy McLoughlin, Pat Sheehan, Sue Spencer, Barbara Fischer, Nancy Curtis, Susie Cushing, Diane Fraham, Charlene Chase, and Jane Hecht. Sweepstakes to Debaters The forces of the Bishop Miege speech and debate squads com- bined to carry away four of the top trophies at the annual Wil- liam Chrisman debate and foren- sic tournament, December 6 and 7. The event was made especially noteworthy by the fact that Miege is a Kansas high school while Wil- liam Chrisman is a Missouri school. Two of the trophies awarded were in extemporaneous speaking to Pat Stiles (first in girls’ extemp) and John Wisner (first in boys’ extemp). A second place trophy in cross-question (Championship) debate was presented to the team of Ken North and Pat Stiles. Everyone in the Miege delegation was partly responsible for the sweepstakes trophy which was awarded to Bishop Miege for be- ing high-point school. Other speakers who attended were: David Chaffee (president of the school’s chapter of the Na- tional Forensic League), Judy Soenen, Doug Irmen, Don Fortin, Jackie Ring, Mary Kirby, Nancy Kopek, Ed Larkin, Larry Viene, Pat Dugan, Leslie Rohr, and Judy Zamparelli. Hootenanny Professionals Lead Area Schools in Singing Bluemonts, Pledges, and Carltons Featured With the January 24th presentation of three-folk singing groups in a spirited program of song and laughs, Miege officially jumped on the hootenanny band wag- on. Aboard were the Bluemonts, the Pledges, and the Carltons, three top-notch singing groups who once again aptly demonstrated their vocal talent. The Blue- monts, who regard themselves as “ethnic folk singers,” record on the Decca label and were featured at the Castaways Lounge in Kansas City all last summer. Probably the most famous of the three groups, the Pledges have an abundance of talent and have more than once lost members to the New Christy Minstrels. Obviously not professional, but none the less enter- taining, the Carltons rounded out the hootenanny pro- gram. Mr. Mike Clark, who was responsible for the or- ganization of the program, was inspired by the Hoot- enanny television program, having seen the wholesome entertainment provided by this show. The various schools along with the Stags who at- tended the show—Rockhurst, St. Joseph, and Ward- enjoyed themselves and joined in with the talent on stage. - 142 - YOU and Brotherhood in Housing “My people want out of the ghetto. . .You - a Christian - or you - a good American - are the person in whom we place our hope.” This statement was em- phatically made by Mr. Hughes H. Shanks, an officer of the Kansas City chapter of the C.O.R.E. (Congress on Racial Equality) in his talk to those attending a meeting of the Catholic Interracial Council of this archdiocese, held January 8 at St. Agnes. The title of his speech was “Brotherhood in Housing.” Comment- ing on civil rights legislation, Mr. Shanks continued that the Negro should not need more than the Con- stitution of the United States to enable him to move anywhere he wants. Mrs. Shanks, speaking on the same theme, said that the average white Christian layman has no per- sonal, intimate knowledge of any Negro and considers all Negroes as belonging to one class—the lowest. Charles Rowan, U.S. ambassador to Finland, probably couldn’t get a cup of coffee in some places in metro- politan Kansas City. Even a Negro with that much importance to this nation might get the same treat- ment as a street derelict. Since they have no real know- ledge of any Negro, most white Christians base their beliefs concerning Negroes on myths. One common myth is that the Negro is criminally inclined. Mrs. Shanks remarked that newspapers con- tribute the most to this myth. According to the papers, Negroes are never born, never get married, never go on trips, never die - they just commit crimes. And the Negro is always identified as such.”. But one never reads,“So-and So, a white man, did such-and-such.” The white man has the dignity of being called by his name, but the Negro is only recognized by his color. Another myth is that Negroes don’t keep up their property. Mrs. Shanks cited several concrete examples of how the white man won’t let the Negro home-owner improve his living conditions: a Negro can only bor- row from 1 - 40% of the value of his home for improve- ments, while a white man can borrow up to 90%; a Negro must pay $14,050 for the same house that would cost a white man $7500; and when a neighborhood be- comes integrated, the rate of interest on house pay- ments somehow grows very high, taxes go up, and muni- cipal services decline. She then told the story of the “blockbuster.” This creature is a real estate man who starts a panic among white home-owners when there appears the possibility of a Negro family moving to that neighborhood. If he is successful in this panic-spreading, the white people will sell their homes for a very low price to the block- buster’s company; then the company sells the same houses to Negro buyers for a much higher price. This way, the blockbuster makes his living off prejudice. Mrs. Shanks said that the principles brought forth from the Ecumenical Council and all the federal hous- ing laws are useless until we co-operate. Only the white home-owner — only you — can put the laws into motion.” She commented that the apathy and reluc- tance to act on the part of the white Christian layman is keeping the Negro bound in the ghetto. However, this apathy and reluctance to act was noticeably absent from the students of St. Joseph’s High School in Shawnee who have recently formed a student interracial council in their school. In the ques- tion and answer period following the Shankses’ speeches, these students asked some very provocative questions. One student, for instance, inquired if we are supposed to sit around and wait until the house next door is vacant until we help the situation. Another was what can we, as students, do about it, since we do not own our homes. The major ideas expressed in the an- swers to both questions were that we should get to really know some Negroes; and whenever any conver- sation leads to the discussion of prejudice on any level, we must not be timid; we’ve got to say what we feel. Mr. and Mrs. Shanks paid special attention to the large number of students in the audience, obviously because we students of the present are going to be run- ning the show in a very few years’ time. Throughout their talks, the speakers reiterated the fact that it is up to us white Christian laymen to make prejudice in the area of housing a thing of the past. “My people want out of the ghetto. . .you. . . are the person in whom we place our hope.” Anne Sexton Retreat for Seniors Scheduled-Fr. Lague Retreatmaster Led by Father Joseph LaGue, the seniors will hold their retreat on January 28, 29, 30. They will occupy the lower floor of the building during these three days and the student lounge will be converted into a conference room and chapel, where an altar will be set up. “This retreat,” says Father Blaufuss, “is aimed at developing an apostolic spirit in the seniors and at making them realize their important role in bringing Christ to others.” Father LaGue, a diocesan priest, is pastor of Saint Michael’s Church in Axtell, Kansas. He has given re- treats at Bishop Ward and Bishop Hayden High Schools and both have been successful. During each of these three days, conferences will be given by Father LaGue and following each confer- ence the students break up into groups of twenty to discuss how the topics of the conferences may be ap- plied to their lives. A senior retreat is a new endeavor at Miege and should prove worthwhile. - 143 - Jim Shaunty going for a layup against Hogan. STAGS BOOT RAMS Coming from a 9-point half- time deficit, Miege tripped the Hogan Rams 78-68 for the fifth victory of the season, January 4, on the Rockhurst High court. The second half proved the turning point in which the Stags outscored the Rams by 19 points. Again taking game high-scoring honors was Jim Bornheimer, who led the Stags with 31 points. Bom- heimer, together with Jim Shaunty and Dan Watkins, was the back- bone of the third quarter surge which was the deciding factor of the game. The other scoring went as follows: Shaunty-18, Watkins- 14, Grabenhorst-6, De Coursey-6, and Hickey-3 points. Tom Geraghty Stags Fail Test in Tourney Miege’s high hopes for another tournament championship were shattered on the first night of the Hayden invitational tournament. Playing at the Topeka High gym, Topeka West, led by the all- around playing of their center Mike Miller, took an early lead, which it never surrendered, and went on to a victory. On the second night, Washing- ton of Bethel took the role of spoiler. The Wildcats overcame an early lead, built up mainly by Jim Bornheimer, and went on to a 70- 60 victory. Resolved to salvage at least one game out of the tournament, the Stags came to play in their final game against Highland Park.Com- pletely outplaying the Scotties, Miege used a torrid third quarter to post a 78-58 win. Jim Born- heimer scored 29 points to pace the victors. John Wall Miege Comeback Falls Short The Stags down by 12 points at the half, came roaring back only to fall short 65-60 in the contest against Hayden at the Topeka Municipal Auditorium. Plagued by cold shooting both from the field and at the line, Miege fell be- hind to the fast-breaking Wild- cats. Even Jim Bornheimer, nor- mally our most consistent player, had a sub-par first half. However, the second half was a totally different story. Led by Stags Clip Falcons The high-flying Van Horn Fal- cons were shot down by the Miege gunners led by Mike DeCoursey and Jim Bornheimer as the Stags clipped the visitors, 59-39. Miege, enjoying a rare height advantage, didn’t exactly blister the nets, but hit enough to turn the game into a romp by the sec- ond quarter. Mike DeCoursey led the Stags’ floor play and found time to pump in 17 points. Highscoring forward Jim Bornheimer gave the Stags an eleven point third period. But he didn’t make his presence felt early enough in the contest to cause the Falcons to have any im- mediate defeatist complex. Born- heimer finished with 16 markers. Of surprise starters Bill Doeren, Mike Hickey, and John Wall, Hickey was the most effective, using his weight underneath to good advantage. Ralph Watley was Van Horn’s only scoring threat, connecting for fifteen markers. Doug Couch - 144 - Bornheimer, the Stags closed the lead to only 9 points at the end of the third stanza. In the fourth quarter, senior guard Mike De Coursey caught fire and gunned in 14 points—his total for the night. Having closed the lead to 3 points, Miege received a break when Hay- den was called for a technical foul. However, the free throw was mis- sed and time ran out as Jim Born- heimer fired a desperation shot. John Wall Victory Over St. Joe 6th Win of Season Miege outscored the St. Joseph Blue Streaks 70-54 on January 10 to make it the sixth victory of the season with four losses for the Stags. In the tiny St. Joseph gym with a total capacity crowd, the Stags entirely outclassed the Streaks who were lucky to keep the score down as much as they did. The Stags took a ten point half- time lead but the Streaks came back surprisingly in the second half to get within 4 points of Miege. After this, the Stags rallied and came back to win by 16 points. Miege once again depended up- on the consistent shooting of Jim Bornheimer who hit 25 points and still retains second place in area high-score honors. Bornheimer, true to form, hit most of his 11 goals from the outside. The rest of the scoring was as follows: Watkins-10, Shaunty-9, Doeren-7, Grabenhorst-6, De- Coursey-4, Hickey-4, R. Wall-4, and Glaeser-1. Tom Geraghty Wedding for Former Member of Faculty Adorned in a lace mantilla and a gown of ivory peau de soie, a one-time faculty fa- vorite here at Miege gracefully walked down the aisle January 16 to become Mrs. Patri- cia Hellinger Schudy. Our former “Miss Hellinger’’ and her hus- band, Robin Schudy, had a small wedding at Christ the King Church and were feted af- terward at a reception at the Rockhill Club. The bride’s sisters, dressed in green velvet, were the principal members of the wedding retinue: Carole Hellinger, maid of honor; Sharon Hellinger, bridesmaid; and Deborah Hellinger (four years), flower girl. Before her wedding day, Pat was guest of honor at many luncheons and showers given for her. After the reception, the young Schudys flew to Mexico for their honeymoon. Since Miss Hellinger was moderator of the class of ’64 for three consecutive years, the seniors went together to buy her a wed- ding gift as a token of their appreciation and fondness. Former English teacher at Miege, Miss Pa- tricia Hellinger is now Mrs. Robin Schudy.

Maryknoll, the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America, was established 53 years ago for the purpose of sending young Ameri- can men and women overseas to help esta- blish the Church among the needy of the world. Today Maryknollers work in over 12 foreign countries - among ten million people. The presence of the Maryknollers at Bish- op Miege High School is designed to offer an opportunity to the entire school to leam further about the requisites necessary for these young people contemplating a voca- tion for overseas work either as a religious or lay person. In 1941 Pope Pius XII said, While our heart embraces the whole world’s flock of Christ, it turns with special feeling towards you, beloved children of the United States. Every nation has its mission society. Yours is Maryknoll. Your society for foreign missions, Maryknoll...counts among its missioners so many of your heroes and hero- ines.” Since Maryknoll is our mission Society, it behooves us to be concerned with her activities. The Debate Year in Retrospect The Kansas debate year ended Jan. 11 with the last round of the S.M. North dis- trict tournament. Now is a good time to exa- mine the debate year for Miege. The season was unusually active with five trophies for the school. Two senior debaters, Pat Stiles and Dave Chaffee, won the first award at the Highland Park HS tourney in Topeka. Both students have been debating for two years. The second trophy was brought in by a junior-senior team, Ken North and John Wisner, from the 100-team Topeka Central HS tourney. Both students have been active in debate for two years. The Wisner-Chaffee team capped a third place at the Salina HS cross question match. Their regular partners. North and Stiles, carried off a second place at the four-state Wm. Chrisman tournament. The teams re- shuffled and came up with a four-man third place at Wichita East HS and another at the rugged district. Good win-loss records were made by other debators: Don Fortin, Tom Rosner, Leslie Rohr, Doug Irmen, Sue Audley, Judy Soen- en, Nancy Kopek, Terry Pyle, Jackie Ring, Mary Kirby, and Steve Schier. Both the team and their coach. Miss Lucas, are proud of the record and enthusiastic over next Miegians Invade Business World Students from Miege who have been elected to Junior Achievement offices are: John Overton, vice-president, manufacturer of Bendico, whose work concerns the manu- facturing of First Aid Kits; Cris Zipf, secre- tary of Jun-A-Co., whose group produces Colonial Pictures; Gloria Carson, treasurer of Scrape Co., which does what the name suggests • it makes shoe scrapers; Barbara Lyons, secretary of J. F. Pritchard Com- pany, the producers of the Trouble Light. Leslie Rohr is the secretary of the Achiever - the Junior Achievement newspaper. Karen Odrowski and Kathee Powell are also on the Achiever staff. Junior Achievement is an international organization that enrolls high school stu- dents during the school months in business centers provided by the management. The students come together to organize and op- erate junior corporations. Each J.A. sector is divided into groups which number from 15 to 20 persons, who elect officers for their corporations. These students select, produce, and sell a product or service; and this activity, sup- plemented by purchasing, supervising, de- signing, and accounting, provides remarkably realistic experience in business. year. Kathee Powell, Leslie Rohr, and Karen Odrowski are staff members for the Achiev- er, the J.A. newspaper. - 145 St. Joe Students Model School Program After C.O.R.E. “They play the same games and play by the same rules.” This was one comment made by St. Joseph's High School Student Council president, Tim Carmody, who has helped to organize a student inter- racial committee composed of students interested in the problems fac- ing the Negro. The committee is in close friendship with the youth branch of the Congress on Racial Equality (C.O.R.E.� . In an interview with some of the St. Joseph students, Tim elaborated on his previous statement: After you’ve talked to them for a half hour, you begin to see beyond the cliche that all Negroes don’t want to improve them- selves.” John Howard Griffin, author of Black Like Me. will probably never realize that he was the indirect cause instigating the organiza- tion of the students’ interracial committee. After the panel discussion held at the Jewish Community Center in early October in which Mr. Griffin participated, St. Joseph students realized more than ever the problems of the Negro. With the help of Father Forge and Sister Mary William, meetings began in November. The purpose of the committee is to fight prejudice before it starts; the means by which they employ this idea is first education, then ac- tion. The education includes such projects as discussions on Black Like Me and the viewing of the movie Raisin in the Sun. An example of the action part of the program is the students' plan to have a panel dis- cussion with Negroes in February. As it is now, the committee is only in its intermediate stages, since there are no Negro students at St Joseph at the present. The program being conducted now is organized to form the correct attitudes in the student body toward the Negro. Tim believes that the program is accomplishing its purpose, name- ly, to fight prejudice. In view of its value, both Tim and Sister Mary William suggested a similar program in which St. Joseph, Ward, and Miege could participate. Linda Taylor, Debbie Linton Membership in N.H.S. Open to Qualified Students Miege is part of a very exclusive national organization, the Na- tional Honor Society, to which only ten percent of a graduating class may belong. The four requirements aren’t impossible; yet, rarely is it necessary for a group to be held over from junior induction to senior year be- cause of too many eligible students. Why aren’t more students in the society? With each year the classes increase by fifty to one hundred people. The percent of the class likewise increases. But the number of students inducted each year decreases. If a student has met the four requirements of character, service, leadership, and scholarship, as attested to by a faculty vote, the gold pin he wears is a symbol that he is a member of a key college prepara- tory organization in the United States. He has worked hard to obtain that honor and should be fully aware that ownership of his pin is some- thing of which he can be very proud. On February 28, the Miege chapter of the N.H.S. will induct her new members. These students shall have demonstrated their character in their everyday school life and their attitude toward it. The service they render the school and their fellow students should speak for it- self. The often hidden quality of leadership, found in everyone in some field, must be evident in many fields for the candidates. And finally a straight ‘B’ average must be retained throughout high school at the semesters. Those freshmen and sophomores now still eligible, grade wise, are encouraged by the society to continue to work toward membership, for though it is exclusive, it can more than accommodate the students who are capable of belonging. Janean Hamden T - • a Father Joseph Lague dynamically drives home to seniors their need for maturity. Maturity Retreat Theme How often has a retreat been wasted? How many times has it prompted temporary piety? How long does a person who has just fin- ished a retreat remember it and live by the suggestions made during it? During January 28-30 the seniors took part in one of the most provocative retreats ever given at Miege. Father La Gue. the retreat master, seemed to have one thought in mind during this time: maturity. In three daily conferences he strove to present the fuller, more mature side to prayer, Holy Eucharist, con- fession, vocations, and love. Father said that prayer should not be petty or selfish or a means to make God change His mind.” It should not always ask for some- thing but rather it should be a giving of self to God, the highest pre- sent man can give. It is telling God that the body and soul He gave to each man is ready to do His will. Father pointed out that the consumption of the Eucharist is not to be taken so negatively as it was when we first received it. He de- nounced it as a mere intake of grace. Communion is a reciprocal ac- tion: God, through Jesus, giving Himself; the communicants, by their reception, giving themselves to God in the highest prayer, the Mass. Penance, an often confusing sacrament, was presented in a more comprehensive way. It was said that sin is a refusal to accept God's love and to accept ourselves as we are. Penance is the external sign of acceptance of God and ourselves. In regard to vocations, Father stated that the world is not asking for another Mary, Joseph, or Maria Goretti; the world needs you as you are. as you were meant to be. But the major part of this retreat was concerned with the prob- lems of growing up and how to do it. Much time was devoted to the description of the true adult. Father pointed out the fallacies of the adult world today and said that many grown-ups are no more mature now than when they left high school or college. He discussed the teen- age myth, a world that doesn’t exist except in the minds of teenagers and promotors. “A teenager is the bridge from childhood to adult- hood.” The teen frequently acts like both and fails to decipher the dif- ference between them. Only when he decides to be adult, is he adult and only by giving himself completely to adulthood and killing the child in him can he do this. It was realized that the success of this retreat would not be evi- dent for quite a while after this type of non-silence retreat was given. Because of the abstract and intellectual presentations of Fr. La Gue, it took more than average concentration. But there is a long range benefit. Months from now minds will continue to turn to some of the thought-provoking talks given by the priest from Axtell, Kansas. - 146 - Problems? Let’s Be Scientific It doesn't take a sage old philosopher to observe that the world has become a pretty twisted place with imbalance and injustice per- vading the very air it breathes. Those of us living in that world are in danger of becoming as warped as it has. Existing, as we do, in the shad- ow of violence and death with fear for a constant companion, the vio- lence, death, and fear suffered by others becomes of little consequence. We’ve seen too many Birminghams, too many Panamas, too many Ugandas, to allow another one to upset us. It’s much easier to say, “That’s a dead issue” or “Don’t get in- volved.” Those who do bother to notice what is going on employ their own solutions which, as often as not. are not what the world or the people in it are seeking. For example, can an individual (or eight or nine individuals) hope to destroy racial difference by hurling mud or stones? Or eliminate a growing nationalism by tearing down a flag? Or educate a people by subjugating them? No, these aren't what the world or the people in it are seeking. Until another approach is em- ployed, evil will continue to run rampant. There is at least one possi- bility though which hasn’t been explored. Why not attack scientifical- ly? Not with bombs, or chemicals, or weapons, but by the use of prin- ciple (something else that is scarce). There is a principle in existence which states that for every force there is an equal opposing force. So, to eliminate violence, why not employ its “opposing force” — for death, renewed life; for fear, confidence. To put the solution into the words of one far wiser and more articulate than I: Sister Georgetta explains methods that can be used in teaching in a C.C.D. course. “Ixjrd, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hat red-let me sow love Where there is injury- pardon Where there is doubt-faith Where there is despair-hope Where there is darkness-light.” (St. Francis of Assisi.� Fat Stiles Stags Participate in C.C.D. Learn What Christianity Demands Small wonder One Day in the Life of Ivan Den- isovich by Alexander Solzhenitsyn has been banned in Russia. The truth concerning Stalin’s “special” camps is revealed in personal terms; that is, its effects on one individual: Ivan Denisovich Shukhov. Shukhov’s struggle to maintain his dignity and self-respect against the brutality and harshness of his environment becomes our own. Shukhov as a man does not seem far removed from our idea of average and ordinary. It is this idea of presenting one ordinary man’s existence and survival in the most sordid and horrible setting imaginable that gives Day this impact. We are convinced more than ever of the final outcome of the clash between civilized society and the evil ele- ments within it. Although Shukhov’s bitterness and pain towards a fate over which he had no control depress us, never once is there a feeling of despair. In a world of isola- tion and almost certain death, a man lives, dreams, and hopes for something better. Debbie Linton “To give these people the spirit of unity and love in which Christ founded His Church is one of the most rewarding experiences a Catho- lic is privileged to have,” stated Pat Stiles, senior, in reference to one phase of Catholic teaching - the C.C.D., the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. A program for making Catholics more aware of Church matters was the central idea behind the founding in 1918 of the C.C.D. Pope Pius X initiated this program with the hope of providing for the world’s need of more informed Catholics who can go out and live the word of God. His plan included a two-fold method of achieving this end: first, a program through which Catholics are made aware of their role in the Church; secondly, a program for qualifying these laymen to teach the Catholic faith. Sister Georgetta and Father Doebele are teaching C.C.D. every Tuesday from 7:30 to 9:30 for 24 weeks. At the end of the 24 weeks, the members will receive a diploma certifying that they are qualified religion teachers. During the first hour of instruction, Sister Georgetta teaches methods of instruction; and Father Doebele teaches doctrine during the second hour. Many self-sacrificing students are devoting their time to the re- warding work of informing more people of the spirit of Christ. Many of them attend Miege, as do KathyHealy, Jean Harvey, Carol Keith, Mary Jo Keith, Linda Kuhnlein, Cathy Mabry, Mary Kay Marx. Ann Redlinger. JoAnne Salamone, Anne Sexton, Maria Spaeth, Pat Stiles, Mary Sullivan, and John Wisner. Classes for those Catholic students attending public schools are held at the different parishes on Saturday or Sunday mornings. This movement is basically concerned in giving the true meaning of Christianity: unity and love. These students have been involved in many different activities; for instance, in some classes were Christmas programs, liturgical celebrations, and Bible vigils. Also, some have act- ed out plays concerning such men as Moses and Abraham. Anne Sexton, senior, adding a concluding thought said that, “Too many good’ Catholics are content to maintain their own private little God-and-me relationship without bothering to share Him with other people. Trying to make these children aware of what their faith means is not always the most fun-filled hour of anyone's week, but it is one way of breaking down these little my-pal-God cliques and doing what Christianity demands of us.” - 147 - dear grumble box dear grumble box dear grumble box dear grumble box Dear Grumble Box, Please do not regard this letter as a mere criticism or grumble. 1 hope you accept it as the honest views and opinions of students of Miege and even of some of the parents. It was always the general belief that the purpose of a school news- paper was to report the news and happenings at school. Yet, while reading the Miegian, one begins to wonder. 1 don't want to degrade our paper, but what is happening at school? Take, for instance, the December 20 issue. It contained eight pages. Yet. counting the number of pages containing school news, the sum total was three and one-half pages. 1 was under the opinion that someone was supposed to interview teachers to obtain news for the paper on class projects, club projects, etc. et one of our prominent English teachers was asked if someone ever interviewed him. Sad to say, his answer was no. I know for a fact that he is always having something different happen in his classes. And 1 am sure that other classes have just as many events that would be of interest to the whole school. 1 am not saying that the other articles are not interesting. Some of them are. Yet I think we should have one page with the heading Editorials under which these articles should be placed. We have a great school and we are doing great things, l et’s start letting people know about and read about our Miege. Let’s start print- ing MIEGE. Signed, Let’s put Miege in the Miegian Dear Let’s put Miege in the Miegian, 1 want to thank you for writing a letter that shows that someone is interested in what’s going on and is not content to merely gripe about it, but has the wisdom to express his or her opinions in a clear and polite manner. ON REPORTING NEWS. . . Concerning the news aspect of the Miegian. there are several things that need to be said. First of all, the general belief i not that “the purpose of a school newspaper was to report the news and hap- penings at school' - at least not the only purpose. And this concept was not just dreamed up by the Miegian staff or its moderator for the sake of doing something new and different. The October 31 issue of this paper carried an editorial entitled “Is the Newspaper Worth its Ink?” The main idea was that a newspaper - any newspaper - has three ba- sic purposes: information, opinion expression, and entertainment These purposes were expressed by the Dean of the School of Journa- lism at K.U. In the December 20 issue was the article, “ You must be- come involved. . .You cannot be passive. . .’ ” One important quote in it lrom an experienced man was this: “ The school newspaper should be an extension of the educational process and it should do more than just report. It should make Catholic truth relevant.' ” In your letter, you mentioned that you didn't think there is enough school news in the Miegian. For one thing, students attend this school only four years � and not all this time is spent in the school building� , while the rest of their lives are spent elsewhere; and so they must be aware of the Big World. The Kansas City Star is published mainly for the residents of Kansas City; but the Star does not hesitate to print articles concerning people or events in other parts of the county, state, You are encouraged to write Sen. Carlson and Sen. Pearson expressing your opinions about the civil rights legislation to be debated by the Senate. Their address is: Senate Office Building; Washington, D.C. Planning Committee Meets at Miege To Discuss ’64 Spring Safety Conference The planning committee of the Kansas Safety Council met at Miege on January’ 24-25 to discuss the coming Spring Confer- ence which is to be held at Miege on April 24-25. The decision to hold this annual con- ference in Kansas City was made at the Governor's Traffic Safety Conference, held last October 8 in Topeka. Out of 100,000 junior and senior high members of the Kan- sas Teenage Traffic Safety Association, 650 were present at the October meeting. The Reverend Anthony Blaufuss, director of re- ligious education at Miege, offered these wise thoughts at the 1963 Governor’s Con- ference, “We must change our attitude to- ward laws. See the law as an act of courtesy for others. We must transcribe the laws from the books onto our hearts - then we will have traffic safety. Representatives to the Conference from Miege were John Wisner, Melvin Lavery, and Larry Viene. John, chosen president of the Kansas Teenage Traffic Association at last year's Spring Conference presided over the teenage session, during which he stated that those present showed a definite inter- est in traffic safety. The aims for the meeting were: 1.) to in- form different representatives from schools about the importance of safety and the com- municating of this information to the other students in those schools. 2.) to review the newest methods of presenting safety to the public. Student delegates agreed that success of this Safety Conference depended on the r� � - presentatives who attended the meeting and whether or not they took their information back to the other students of their schools. The “Action Program” is a comprehen- sive plan for accident prevention. Its mem- bership includes many energetic, interested teenagers who have their own definite ideas on how to prevent unfortunate, foolish ac- cidents. Students are given an opportunity to express their thoughts and perhaps help them become laws. Phases covered in the program are: Laws and Ordinances, Traffic Accident Records, Education, Engineering, Motor Vehicle Ad- ministration, Police Traffic Supervision, Traffic Courts, Public Information, Organ- ized Citizen Support and Research.

Why should a school newt, paper, intended to be read by students learning about the world and how to live in it successfully, be so narrow-minded? However, be that as it may, the journalism class has examined its conscience and has realized that there are some areas in its news reporting that could be improved and has resolved to seek that goal. Another matter, of which we do not always have control, greatly affecting the amount of news to be published in the Miejfian is the way it is printed. The publisher must have ten weekdays before the paper can come out to the readers. It takes about a week before these ten days for last-minute typing, proofreading, photograph processing, and lay-out. This leaves about three school weeks (one week left in that month and two weeks left in the previous month while that month's issue is being printed) to write for that issue. Events during these three weeks are covered without much dif- ficulty. but articles on occurances taking place during the lay-out week must be written amid chaos. Happenings during the printing weeks are either written up in advance, sent to the publisher late, or not carried until the next issue. If the article is written tn advance atid plans for the event are changed and the staff is for some reason «either by its own fault or otherwise� unable to change the story in time, the result is often humorously disastrousf If the story is sent to the printer late, it is necessary to save space for it, presupposing our knowledge of the forthcoming event. If an article is printed in the next issue, it often sounds like ancient history. Hence journalism students not only learn how to put out a paper, but gain valuable experience in patience, awareness, hardwork, gripe-enduring, and apologetics. ON INTERVIEWING FACULTY MEMBERS.. .. It is true that all the teachers are to be contacted from time to time by a reporter, and those who have neglected this in the past have been instructed to “unneglect” it. But it must be mentioned that not all the information given by faculty members is printed for various reasons, the principal one being the possibility that only those involved in the activity itself may be interested. ON THOSE EDITORIALS .. 1 am glad to know that ‘ some’ of the “other articles” are inter- esting. However, the editorials don't really need to be labeled as such. An editorial can be recognized by the fact that it expresses the opinions of the writer (who, of course, can base his opinions on those of other writers.) Also, 1m afraid that labeling the editorials would make it easy for some to avoid reading them. The editorials are there to be read and thought about; if the result is enraged readers, that's all right. In fact, it has been said that if an editorial does not start some conflict, the writer isn’t performing his duty. Another type of article that could possibly be confused with the editorial is the feature story. A feature is usually longer than a news article and contains many different aspects about the subject or event; and although the feature may be written in the first person, it should not contain the author's own opinions, as does the editorial. Just be- cause an article takes up a half page and is set in big type, doesn’t mean it s an editorial. I appreciate this letter very much, not only because it gives the Miegian an opportunity to explain its conduct, but because it also shows an interest in our endeavors and gives us ideas on how we can improve in our efforts to serve this school. Grumble Box What do You Know About Bamba and the Dark Continent? Father O’Conner believes sensibility, com- plete honesty, and zeal in world leaders is necessary for splving problems in Africa. He talks to Mr. Moritz's government class. Contrary to your suspicions, the above word is not Bambi mispelled. Rather it is the name of one of the major languages of the explosive Dark Continent. Father O’Conner, a White Father missionary from England, spoke to Mr. Moritz's government classes of his life in the bush of Tanganyika, Africa. Father had recently crusaded in var- ious parish churches for donations for his foreign missions. In his talks to the various classes. Father elaborated on the culture of the African people and the complexities of their life, one being the hundreds of dia- lects spoken by the tribes. The white father was particularly concerned with Bamba, a language containing seventy-five different tenses with forty-five of them in constant use now. Not only is the number a difficulty for a newcomer to the language, but the fact that nouns are classified into one of eight groups that correspond to the tenses and changes the pronunciation and further complicate matters. The language is primar- ily verbal and is a constant source of won- der to missionaries attempting to break the language barrier. Another point of interest was the dis- cussion on the problems existing in the new- ly formed countries due to the unstable government that took control with the with- drawal of colonial powers. Father O’Conner explained that the culture, customs, and nature of the African people will present many problems in their development and progress toward forming strong, indepen- dent, and stable nations. His particular so- lution to the present turmoil consists of sen- sibility on the part of the leaders and the people, and complete honesty and zeal in the leaders. Of course, these two goals will remain unattainable as long as the African people remain in the dark in regard to edu- cation and progress. Father O’Conner thanked the class for the interest and asked for prayers. Pam Atchity Stuco Reps to Meet Values of leadership and purposes of stu- dent councils were discussed by Mr. Earl L. Reum (co-ordinator of student activities in the public schools of Denver, Colorado), in his speech to a conference on student coun- cils attended by representatives of high schools in this area, including Miege, held February 1 at Shawnee Mission East H.S. Mr. Reum stated that the major purpose of a student council was that of an exercise in democracy. He continued that a student council could be either an isolated, closed group or could spread itself throughout the whole school, inciting the entire student body to work along with it. After this speech, the students partici- pated in small group discussions. These groups concerned themselves with various aspects of student council activities. Dave Martin, Miege's S.C. president, and John Wisner, vice-president, chaired discus- sions on fund raising and pep assemblies respectively. Approximately 25 Stags at- tended the Meet together with Sr. Martina, S.C. moderator. - 149 - English Department Planned to Meet Needs of All Students In the field of English today, many other qualifications besides knowledge in grammar, writing, and literature are required. Now, as compared to fifty years ago, an average high school teacher finds him- self carrying a heavy course. Miss Lucas, who is head of the English Department, has said: In the teaching of literature, the English teach- er must be gifted in the fields of biography, history, philosophy, the- ology, and sociology because all of these enter into the really compre- hensive teaching of literature.' The English teachers' knowledge is not just limited to reading and riting. English at Miege is presented in an interesting and informal way, and the student is allowed to express him- self freely if he so desires. The accelerated English class is completely voluntary, but the stu- dent must work to meet the requirements. The accelerated student is also expected to keep informed through reading material outside of class. Sister Gerard's junior accelerated class will be given this semester a list containing twenty-four books of which they will be required to read three. She also expects that the students be capable of leading a class discussion by the end of the year. Mr. Host, sophomore accelerated class teacher, wants his students to probe deeper into subjects and encourages them to conduct benefi- cial class discussions. This enables his students to see and appreciate the values of literature. And it seems that Mr. Host enjoys it as much as his class; he has been quoted as saying: I like to explore all the possibilities of literature. Besides the accelerated classes, English is also presented in the same intereting and informal way to the average student. Sister Gregory stated that the division of students according to their ability seemed to be working out fine, as it enables the Student to keep himself up with the rest of the class. High schools today not only stress grammar and literature but dwell on the importance of class discussions. Other members of the English department are: Sister Clarice, Eng. I; Sister Immaculata, Eng. IV; Miss Barbara Wewers, Eng. I; Miss Hosemary Koetting, Eng.II; Miss Jeanne Falke, Eng. I; and Mr. Ed Lemon (1st Sem). Mr. Ed I emon Miss Barbara Wewers Sr. Clarice Sr. Gregory Sr. Immaculata Industrial Art Students Work to Finish Projects Mr. Zimola, industrial arts teacher, has many projects going on in his classroom. In benchwork, for instance, he teaches his students to read and make working drawings (detailed pictures of projects about to be made). Once in the shop, his students learn the names of, use, and care of various hand tools. The first project the students made was a cutting-board completed in time to be used as a Christmas gift. In Woodwork I Mr. Zimola teaches the use and safety of the dif- ferent machines used in woodworking. His students are required to make a lamp, a coffee table, or an end table during the course of the year. After this, they make such things as nightstands and bookcases. In the drafting room, things take place in a quieter fashion. In- stead of working with wood and machinery, students work with pencils. Architectural students learn to draw plans for houses and various parts of houses and to make model homes. Drafting 1 is an introductory course about the use and care of the different drawing instruments, such as the T-square. This leaves the industrious drafting student to consider advanced drafting.

The deadlines for S.A.T. tests are February 22 for the March 7 test; April 4, test May 2; June 3, test July 8. You are reminded to consult the Senior Bulletin Board in the hall outside Sr. Georgetta’s office frequently. Faculty Features Nancy Tremble Mr. Byard’s first hour biology class participated in a research pro- ject by Dr. Edward G. Kane D.D.S. on January 28. The thirty sopho- more students made the trip to U.M.K.C. where they all were x-rayed for more knowledge in the development of teeth. The trip proved two-fold as the students were conducted on a tour of the Dental College, including classrooms and labs, and were shown film strips and demonstrations on the necessity and more important, the proper way of brushing after every meal. Upon being questioned by the students, Dr. Kane said that some tooth pastes are more ef- fective but stressed the importance of proper brushing. Miss Murphy's secretarial class has been assisting the People-to- Feople School and Classroom program by typing form correspondence and material used in the program’s affiliation process. This work gives the students a good insight to their future years as secretaries working in this world. Sister Dolores' first year Algebra classes have been working on a new project. The purpose is to learn whatever they can concerning math on their own. They were instructed to go to the library and pick out a book on math and to make a report- the topic being of their own choice. Sister Dolores feels that it’s not so important that the subjects are original but feels that as long as the students learn a little more than they knew before it is worth while. Here are a few examples of what the students have turned in: Notice the Arrangement 1 x 8+1=9 12x8 . 2= 98 123 x 8 3 = 987 1234 x 8 4= 9876 12345 x 8 5 = 98765 123456 x 8 6 = 987654 1234567 x 8 7 = 9876543 12345678 x 8 8 = 98765432 123456789 x 8 9 = 987654321 Mike Heed Short Cuts in Computing Divisibility by 8: A number is divisible by 8 if the number formed by the last 3 digits is divisible by 8. For example to find out if 1,702,584 is divisible by 8 you need only to divide 584 by 8. Since you can divide 584 by 8 you know that the entire number can be. Diane Conaughton Amid all the present speculation about the merits of the Catholic educational system, there is one aspect rather conspicuously missing from the lists of argu- ments presented for and against the continuing spon- sorship of total education by the Church: the students, those for whom the school is ultimately founded, seem to have been relegated to a side position in the debate. Education is, of its very nature, a double process. The word means a leading forth, and to lead requires the presence of someone to be led. The most beautiful plants, the best texts, the most highly trained and mot- ivated teachers can never fulfill the purposes of educa- tion unless they are presented with a group of minds willing to accept guidance, literally to be led. Outwardly, our position as students is no different from that of students of public institutions, our sub- jects are much the same, with the exception of-a half hour period each day called religion. But there is a dif- ference. It lies principally in the crosses which hang on our walls, the prayers which begin each period that can be said without fear of legal action qgainst the teacher who dares to mention the Creator’s name aloud when telling about His creation. The difference lies in the fact that our instructors sometimes wear a very unstylish black, or that those who do not could be re- ceiving a far better wage elsewhere. But education is not determined by those alone who lead. What has been our reaction to the leading we have been presented with? Following does not only involve the passive acceptance of truth, but action upon it. Truth is involved in every subject of education, but the whole purpose of the education which generations of Catholics have sacrificed to provide us with is the un- covering of the one essential Truth in all His works about which men learn. The foundation of Christianity is that God can be seen in all good things, and the pur- pose of Christian education to see Him there. But the path is two-way. The final acceptance of truth lies in those who are willing to follow. John Wisner IT’S A DATE. . kathy reynolds On March 1, the Mark Playhouse will present the play Volpone.

Ward Downs Stags Never quite surviving a frustrating open- ing period, the Miege Stags dropped a spirit- ed basketball contest to the Ward Cyclones, 79-66. The Cyclones, who outscored the Stags by twelve in the first quarter, were led by Bill We were, Jim Keaton, Bill Lind- quist. We were scored repeatedly on medium range jumpers and finished with 25 points. Only an inspired performance by Miege center Jim Shaunty kept the home forces in contention. The ace rebounder hit a career high of 29 markers. Backliners Jim Graben- horst (11 points) and Danny Watkins (10) also aided the Stags' cause. The leading point-maker for Miege, Jim Bornheimer was bottled up inside and never could get the feel of things. Jim along with the improved, bespectacled. Bill Doeren hit for eight tallies. A near capacity throng witnessed the annual roundball encounter and were royally entertained by aggressive run-and-shoot basketball on the part of the Stags and the Cyclones. De La Salle-Miege The Miege Stags upped their record 7-5 by scrambling to an upset victory over the De La Salle Titans 68-61. The Titans led by- three at the half but a second half surge led by Mike De Coursey and Mike Hickey quick- ly turned the tide of the contest in the home forces favor. De La Salle's one-two punch of Maurice Harper and Dwight Murphy scored a combined total of 42 points, but Miege’s depth proved to be the deciding factor. Jim Bornheimer was again the Stag's leading point-maker with 20. Also hitting in double figures were De Coursey with 11 and Watkins with 10 points. Hounding out the Stag’s scoring were Bill Doeren with 8 and Hickey and Grabenhorst with 7 apiece. Jim Shaunty added six before leaving the game with a knee injury. Stags Over Raytown The Miege Stags romped over Baytown South Cardinals 81 to 63 in the winners court Feb. 7, to make the season 8-6 up to the present time. With an early lead, which they never lost, the Stags continued their press throughout most of the game to completely stymie the Cardinals and also set a new season high in an 81 point production. The score would have been much more one-sided as the Stags had no doubts of winning and continued to play reserves, who played very well, to give the regulars a rest. Behind the shooting of Jim Bornheimer with 21, Bill Doeren 14, Jim Grabenhorst 12, and Jim Shaunty 11, the Stags put four men into the double figures of the scoring column. Other scoring went as follows: Wat- kins 9, Hickey 8, Welch 4, and Glaeser 2. Tom Geraghty Kockhurst vs. Miege for an overtime victory. Hawks Over Stags In Overtime Play The downfall of a seemingly good night came during overtime when the Kockhurst Hawklets downed the Miege Stags 61-55 on the Stags' home court, February 1. The Stags' inability to attain possession of the ball and cold shooting enabled the Hawks to outscore Miege 8-2 in the overtime, thus taking the basketball victory. The Hawks led most of the way, leading only by 3 points at half time and by 1 point going into the quarter. In the final two minutes of the last stanza, Jim Bornheimer hit two field goals and Jim Grabenhorst deposited a pair of free throws to leave the score tied at the end of regulation time. The Stags got the ball just seconds before the buzzer sounded but failed to connect, leaving the game at an even score. The team is now 7 wins and 6 losses with six games left to the regular playing season. Tom Geraghty New? Sport Evolves in Gym After school Thursday, January 30, there were some strange sounds coming from the gym. It could have been a football game because of all the people seen lying on the floor. It could have been a basketball game, but, if it was, someone changed the rules. The contestants were freshmen girls and women faculty members. At the end of the first half of the new game, the freshmen girls led 13 to 1, with Sister Pauline making the only point for the faculty. But after the shaky start in the first half, the faculty came roaring back with 15 points in the second half. During the second half, after the opposing sides switched baskets. Miss Wewers forgot and shot at the girls' basket, but luckily for her side, she missed. Sister Georgetta was given a push and went sailing across the floor. She got up, straight- ened herself out, and jumped back into the free-for-all, tripping some other girl. Sister Gerard fell; then the ball got tangled in her skirts, and no one could find it. Coaches Byard and Headron refereed. Coach By- ard s eyes must be going bad as judged by the fouls he missed and the ones he called. At times he would give the faculty three free throws and the ball in. Shoot until you hit it, he told one faculty member. Sister Gerard led the faculty scoring with 5 points. Sister Pauline was second with 3 points, Miss Koetting. Miss Lucas and Miss Murphy hit for 2, and Sister Georgetta and Miss Falke scored 1 each. Mias Grotz tried. The game ended with the freshmen edging the faculty 17 to 16. Bill Sine It’s a bird, it’s a plane. . or Look, no hands!

Miege Tops Hogan in TV “Categories Question: “What is a well-known chil- dren's story which originally was meant to be a political satire?” Answer: “Gulliver’s Travels.” This question, answered by Pat Stiles, was the first of a series projected at the Miege intellectuals” on the televised pro- gram “Categories,” a program likened to the “College Bowl,’ except that it is on a high school basis. In this program, two schools comprise separate teams of five persons to see which team can achieve the more points by answering questions. The Hogan Rams battled the Miegian team of — John Wis- ner (his third appearance on the program), Fred Pinne (his second), Pam Atchity, Mar- tha Ziegelmeyer, and Pat Stiles. Pat Nor- mile, alternate, added needed help by sitting on the sideline and praying throughout the program. The various questions dealt mainly with literature, current events, math, and science. The answers were widely scattered from or- biting the earth on the moon to the liquid measurement of a tun of wine. The program was divided into thirds. The industrious Hogan Rams held the score down to a 6 - 6 tie at the end of the first third. During the remaming two thirds, the Miege team surged on to beat the Rams 25 - 16. The program was televised on WDAF, channel 4, Saturday, February 8, at 1:00 P. M.

Author Advocates Pro-Humanity Many Miege students were present to hear Mr. John Howard Griffin, the famed author of Black Like Me, speak at the monthly meeting of the Catholic Interracial Council of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kan- sas held Feb. 10 at Memorial Hall. Mr. Griffin, who is an extraordinary lec- turer, talked for two and a half hours with- out notes on his experiences as a Negro in the South. His speech was well arranged, beginning with how he helped some Jewish people escape Germany in World War II and ending with what we can do to rid this country of hateful prejudice. During the war, Mr. Griffin was totally blinded by an exploding shell. He returned to the United States and to his home in the South. Upon finding race prejudice here, as it had been in Germany, he commented: It seemed strange for a person without sight that a nation of human beings could be in- volved in racism that is based on the mere pigmentation of one’s skin. After eleven years of total blindness, Mr. Griffin’s sight was partially restored by brain surgery. Two years later, he went to work for the government. His assignment was to study the high suicidal rate among the Southern Negroes. He found no answers. And so, to solve his problem and to find his answers, Mr. Griffin became a Negro, by means of medical treatments which darken- ed the pigmentation of his skin. For twenty years, John Howard Griffin had worked among Southerners; then he had been white, now he was a Negro who didn't know how to act, where to go, or who to know. Mr. Griffin found the answers to his ques- tions. The answers to the problems of high suicidal rates among the Southern Negroes lies within the Southern whites. The South- ern whites, he stated, “force the Negro to climb their mountains of yes’s and grin, grin, grin. Southeners still measure a Negro’s freedom by the lengths of the chains that bind him.’ In conclusion Mr. Griffin posed a solu- tion for all of us to take into mind: Stop be- ing pro-North and pro-South, pro-East and pro-West, and become merely a little more pro-human. Lynn Clark “Let’s Spend it On Something’’ Student Congress, both in and out of meeting, has been hotly de- bating the question, “What shall we do with the Beautification money?” The Beautification mon- ey, as most students know, is the $1000 which has lain around for several years waiting to be spent and is now under the care of the Beautification Committee headed by Larry Viene. Suggestions, ranging all the way from foot- prints of illustrious students in concrete to reflectors for the park- ing lot, have been presented from all sides with varying degrees of sincerity. As ideas are sorted, and some discarded, the argument has dwindled down to, “What should we do with the facade (i.e. the stone slab in the front of the school)? ’ To assist in eliminating this problem, the Congress has engaged the help of an artist, Mr. Fred Roth, who has submitted several designs for a metal relief on the facade. One design was tentative- ly accepted by the representatives until they could “sound out” opinion in the homerooms. This design was the Dove, which was defeated by popular majority. Mr. Roth is now engaged in elaborat- ing on a chiro, a symbol for Christ, which will be voted on at the next Congress meeting. Pat Stiles Stags Buy Books Head and Unite Our Changing World was the timely slogan for Catholic Book Week, observed February 23 to the 29. The posters this year pictured the bond of broth- erhood-clasped hands over an open book with the theme printed in bold red and white letters expressed the idea of strength and comradeship. Since its beginning 24 years ago, Catholic Book Week has been designed to focus at- tention on good books-not only good Catho- lic books-but all good books. Through the efforts of several national literary organiza- tions, the reading habits of untold numbers of young people and adults can be changed for the better. In accordance with Catholic Book Week, Sister Juliana planned Miege’s 4th annual book fair. Each English class spent half of its class period in selecting and purchasing paper backs. And average of $180 was spent each day, during which Black Like Me was the best seller. The purpose of the school book fair is to give the students a chance to build up their own personal library,” Sister Juliana commented. The Kansas City Distributors Company supplied and restocked the paperbacks throughout the fair. Sister Lidwina from Tanganyika, talks to YCS members of the African culture. Sister with her partners Sisters Bernards and Mary Agnes have been studying at the Ur- suline Academy in Faola. - 154 - A shovelful of the good earth is presented” to John Sandefur by John Gaines and Hon Stags Come Equipped Friday, March 13, was designated as clean- up day at Miege. Father Sullivan gave the school a free day in return for the scholastic efforts put forth by everyone since the be- ginning of the new year. This gave students an early start on the do-it-yourself beauti- fication project. Stags from each class ar- rived after 10 a.m. equipped with rakes, buckets, rags, etc., and began the much- needed task of cleaning up the school grounds. The seniors had charge of the entire front lawn up to and including the windows of the building. The juniors took care of ridding the parking lot of trash by sweeping and picking up, and also helped rake the sur- Boy and Girls Staters Terry Alley and Fred Silady have been chosen to represent Miege at Boys State with Doug Irmen and Ken North alternates. Nan- cy Kopek was chosen for Girls State with Cheryl Bartoski as her alternate. Boys State originated in 1935, and this was followed by the organization of Girls State in 1939. Girls and Boys State is an ap- plication of Americanism and good citizen- ship. It helps the student learn how to gain the most benefits from his school and com- munity. It’s purpose is to provide training in FNA Club Tours Hospital On February 18, the members of the Fu- ture Nurses Club, accompanied by School Nurse Mrs. Bollig, made a tour of Children's Mercy Hospital. Mrs. N. Diddle, student- nurse instructor, explained that ‘‘the only person this hospital will not admit is the one who can afford to pay. If he has even a small TV set, we usually do not admit him. This is strictly a charitable organization.” Thies. Other tree planters: Bill Noonan, Sr. Martina, and Larry Kelly. for Friday the 13th rounding grass plots. The sophomores spruc- ed up the section between the library and the cafeteria while freshmen confined them- selves to the North side of the building be- tween the new wing and the gym. The following day, Dave Martin drove Sister Martina and a group of strong boys including two or three from each class to Garnett to dig up trees for transplanting on the school grounds. After much cooperation on the part of students the clean up project proved to be a success and a fulfillment of another aspect in the school beautification. Chosen and Accepted citizenship, and to inform these future voters of duties, privilieges, rights, and re- sponsibilities of American citizenship. Terry, Fred, and Nancy had to meet these requirements: efficient leadership, impec- cable character, outstanding courage, un- questionable honesty, above average scholar- ship, whole-hearted cooperation, and physi- cal fitness. The recommendation of the prin- cipal or faculty advisor is also necessary. The sessions are held sometime this summer. Math Classes Move Ahead Sister Dolores’ sophomore accelerated math students, finishing their geometry texts, have purchased new Algebra Il’s. They plan to continue with these books till the end of the year and to continue from where they leave off now next year. The junior accelerated class is progressing in Advanced Math which they will continue next year. After finishing Advanced Math they will begin studying Calculus. Freshman Homeroom Initiates Projects In January Miss Grotz's homeroom put on a skit Christmas in January” for the children at St. John's Orphanage in Kansas City, Kansas. Refreshments were served by the girls and then they were taken on a tour of the orphanage. In the beginning of March, this homeroom held a bake sale in the Student Lounge. There were dozens of cookies, brownies, and cupcakes. About $11.25 was made from this sale and all of it went to the Bishop's Re- lief Fund. Next month, if possible, the girsl are hop- ing to have a dinner in the cafeteria and with the money help some poor family in Guatemala. Marilyn Lohr is chairman of the home- room. Frosh Shows Talent Although the earth has existed for mil- lions and millions of years, new things are being discovered each day .especially in Mrs. Sullivan s fifth hour Speech class. In one speech, a girl demonstrated how to make Christmas ornaments out of egg shells. After observing this, Dick Bialek decided to try something different. Instead of using egg- shells, he took a Banana, peeled it, cut the peelings into strips, painted them black, and put silver glitter on it. It was different all right! Dick commented: If she can do it with an egg, 1 can do it with a Panama. Pam Brosky Dick Bialek shows his Christmas ornament— a black Panama that glitters. - 155 - missions are PEOPLE “1 think the studente of Bishop Miege can no longer be content with knowing what goes on just at Miege or Kansas City or the arch- diocese. Each student has the responsibility of developng a sense of world-wide vision by becoming interested in the peoples of the world.” This statement was contributed by Father William P. O’Connor during his recent visit to Miege (Feb. 17-18) made by Father, with Sister Mary Owen, and Sister William Damien of Mary knoll, the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America. The purpose of the visit, as Father put it, was not only for the general purpose and necessity of vocations, but to help the students here realize that, as the future parents of the Church, they will bring future missionaries into the world and that they, as members of the Mystical Body of Christ, have an obligation to the rest of the mem- bers. “The missions mean more than statistics or banks for saving mon- ey or collecting stamps: missions are PEOPLE - people like us. The child starving in the crowded city of Hong Kong, the old man strug- gling for water in the drought area of Chile, the lines of humanity out- side a clinic in Korea, human beings who but for an accident could have been any one of us.” How can students become personally involved in the missions? Father offered three suggestions: (1) through definite prayers for the missions (“Our Father. .. give us this day our daily bread. (2) by becoming informed about the missions through literature, and (3) by doing something: namely, a sacrifice each day of our lives. A sacrifice must be something that we feel personally. It doesn't affect some people at all to write out a check for the missions, but that isn’t a sacrifice. Many students took advantage of this opportunity to become bet- ter acquainted with Maryknoll, but Miegians weren't the only ones who appreciated the visit. Sister William Damien readily agreed when Father William O’Connor represented the Maryknoll Fathers on a visit to Miege. Joseph Kedlinger, freshman, learns some facts about the Soceity. Sister Mary Owen commented, “I have enjoyed my opportunity to come in contact with so many of the young women here at Miege. I’ve been very impressed with their desire to learn more about the Mary- knoll Sisters. For many of them, this was the first time they had ever had a chance to meet a Maryknoll Sister. And for many of them, this was the fust time they realized that they had an obligation to do some- thing constructive to spread the kingdom of God. Sister continued that she hoped to see a mission club here at Miege in the future. She said that Miegians should take a special in- terest in the apostolic movement since so many of our fellow Kansans are working in the missions of Latin America. These Kansans, think- ing about the unbelieving peoples of the world, have probably asked along with St. Paul, “How then are they to call upon Him in whom they have not believed? But how are they to believe Him whom they have not heard? And how are they to hear if no one preaches?” (Ro- mans 10:14) Anne Sexton Senior on Interracial, Russel R. Rine, executive director of the Panel of Young Americans, acting upon his belief that a lack of understanding results in prejudice, instigated the Panel of Young Americans. In order to clear up these mis- understandings, he organized an inter-re- ligious, inter-racial group of high school stu- dents who would have an unprepared dis- cussion before various youth groups. Each member of the panel relates from his ex- perience a personal encounter with preju- dice toward himself, thus avoiding broad generalities. However, the discussion con- centrates on such activities as inter-racial, inter-religious dating and parents' attitudes toward such activities. Pat Normile, senior, is on this panel with four other boys. Pat believes he has learned a great deal because of his experiences as a member of the Panel of Young Americans. “I have a better understanding of people. There is something uniting all of us, says Pat. Besides Pat, there are four other boys, Jeff Cohen and Larry Rosegg who speak from their standpoint as Jewish boys. Frank Elliss speaks from th$ standpoint of a Negro boy. Jon Brant, a student of Shawnee Mis- Interfaith Panel sion East, is the moderator. Since the Panel's beginning in September, it has appeared before such groups as the Y.C.S. at Ward, the regional conference of the Topeka Highland Presbyterian Pres- bytery, and the Harry Truman A.Z.A. (A youth branch of B’nai B'rith). The panel will speak at Baretow sometime in May.

B’nai B’rith is a world-wide Jewish ser- vice organization, one of whose programs being the Youth Award. Kathy and John are among 54 high school students in this area who were recommended by various youth groups for their efforts in the fields of human relations, community service, and brotherhood projects. Judy Meyers “ Homemaker” Judy Meyers, senior, has placed highest at Miege in the Betty Crocker American Homemaker of Tomorrow test. This test was given on Dec. 3, 1963. The tests were then sent in to be scored and when the re- sults were made known, Judy had the high- est score at Miege. Judy will receive a spe- cially designed Betty Crocker “Homemaker of Tomorrow’’ Award pin. Judy is known to be well-deserving of this award, since she has taken Clothing I and II. Judy is also president of the Home Economics Club. Sophs Finish First Aid A group of thirteen sophomore girls have completed the Red Cross advanced course in First Aid. Miss Chervino instruct- ed them on First Aid every Thursday for ten weeks after school in her classroom. Participants were Michele Arnold, Martha Dewees, Jean Harvey, Carol Keith, Marcia Lohmeyer, Mary Martin, Karen Neely, Kathy O’Connor, Charlene Slatier, Maria Spaeth, Karen Spinner, Mary Sullivan, and Terri Tipton. Stags Submit to Local News In addition to contributing news to their own school paper, interested students of the journalism class have been writing articles for various papers in the Kansas City area. Candy McLoughlin, junior, keeps the John- son County Herald informed weekly with goings-on at Miege. The Carriage Trade, a considerably new weekly paper, contains in- formation gathered and written by Diane Orr and Debbie Linton. Larry Viene, although he is not a member of the class, uses his writing ability by con- tributing current news to the local Catholic paper, the Eastern Kansas Register. Interested Students Stags Named Eagle Scouts Ambrose Petree of troop 109, a senior, re- cently received his Eagle Scout award in Holy Name School. He is the twenty-sixth student from Miege to receive this high Scouting honor. Ambrose has a five year scouting background, has received the one- mile swim patch, is a Red Cross swimming instructor, and has been appointed assis- tant scout master. Father James Morianty, pastor of Holy Name and archdiocesan director of scout- ing, presided over the ceremonies, after which a reception was held. Below is the list of the other twenty five Eagle Scouts from Miege and their respec- tive parishes: Saint Agnes-Larry Svoboda, Terry Alley, Michael Kelly, Don Fortin, Dennis Abeel, John Pyle, Ronald Rome, John Silady, John Ludwikoski, Tom Ros- ner, and Don Burkett; St. Anns-Tom Conry and Steve Warren; Holy Name-John Col- lins, John Conaughton; St. Pius-Jerry Sul- livan, Matthew Orr, David Peterson, and Craig Woodward; Holy Rosary-John Ruther- ford, Larry Allen, Bob Schumn, and Mike Kirk. Senior Girl to Scout Senate Kathy Mahoney has been elected presi- dent of the Senior Scout Senate, a body re- presenting all Senior Girl Scout troops in the Kansas City Area. For those unfamiliar with Senior Scouting, it is a branch of the Girl Scouts suited for girls of high school age who are interested in participating in various activities. “The purpose of the Sen- ior Senate is to unite the senior troops and to become a working part of the commun- ity, ” Kathy commented. Kathy, along with hundreds of other girls, will be taking part in many projects this year, one such project was the annual pan- cake sale held in February. Proceeds from the sale went to the Nifty Fund, an inter- national event fund which sends Senior Scouts to the Senior Round-Up, held every two years, and to international events. The Round-Up is to be held in Utah in 1965. “We want from you (students) not the sneers of the cynics nor the despair of the faint- hearted. We ask of you en- lightenment, vision, illum- ination.” -John F. Kennedy - 157- This table in the lounge is typical of the aftermath left by the shnooks, imps, gremlins, midgets, and fakers of Miege. Been down to the student lounge lately? Well, don’t (not for a while, at least) for there have been swarms of little shnooks who linger about throwing papers, wrestling, and smashing ping-pong balls. More than likely you’d be attacked. It’s high time some of these more childish imps grow up a bit, relinquish their skittish ways, and make restoration for some of then- works of vandalism. It takes a far greater person to own up to their wrongs instead of kicking that broken ping-pong paddle under the table. Those responsible have probably never heard of manners, school spirit, and respect for the property of school and others. If it’s institutional furniture they want, then institutional furniture they’ll get-institu- tional play pens and cribs. The way they act, they de- serve no better. All this nonsense enters into the realm of a de- finite lack of school spirit. Surely these gremlins have little of it or maybe they left it in the classroom or on the playground. If these midgets of character would only realize that the use of our lounge is a school privilege and equal respect is due it along with the other activities, we would have more order, more in- terested students, and less antics. I guess the more mature students will have to kick maturity into these kindergarten high school runts or boot them out the door. It will truly be a relief when warm weather comes so they can go out to their slides and sand boxes and not clutter the lounge. But until then, let’s hope they grow up and let’s help them to do so, so we can be proud of the lounge instead of asham- ed of those immature fakers who think they’re Mie- gians, that infiltrate it. Let’s make the lounge a place for all students and obliterate the little worms who crawl about it. Tom Hamden The Last and the Present Judgment Christianity is not a philosophy of Platonic ideal- ism where a man can sit back and enjoy it intellectual- ly while remaining aloof from the needs of his fellow- men. It is not a system of Aristotelian ethics, in which a man tries to guide himself to the good life by a code of abstract rationality. Nor is it a system of ruggedly individualistic spirituality, where a man is totally taken up with affairs of his own spiritual perfection and sal- vation, only wanting to be alone with the Alone. It is a social religion, a dynamic religion, and above all, a missionary religion. In terms of contemporary living, we might as well paraphrase Our Lord’s final judgment as: I was a vic- tim of hatred and misunderstanding and you refused to speak in My defense. I was a victim of social injus- tice, and you condoned My plight. I was a victim of racial bigotry while you stood by and shamefully kept silent about My crucifixion. I sat in darkness, and you refused to give Me light. I was in black despair, and you refused to give Me hope. I was neurotic, and you refused to give Me patient understanding. I was be- seiged by terrible temptations, and you pretended that all was well with Me. I tried to raise a family in a slum area, and you indifferently let Me rot. - Gerard Rooney, C. P. (reprinted from World Campus) Pep Club—A Job Well Done As the school year of 1963-64 comes to a conclusion, we believe it is an appropriate time to give an evaluation of this year's Pep Club. Linder the effective and capable leadership of President Helen Hennier, Vice-president Connie Mealy, Secrtary Pat Gaughan, and Treasurer Mary K. Hall, the Pep Club has been quite active on and off campus. This can be readily seen by their assistance in delivering clothes to the needy over the Christmas holidays, decorating the cafe- teria for the Student Council's Christmas dance sponsoring the Home- coming, donating clothes to an old-age home, contributing of the Stag s flag to the school, selling of bus and game tickets, and one member of this year's Pep Club is responsible for that unusual band These are only a few of the many events in which the Pep Club has played an integral part. The main purpose of any Pep Club, however, is that of promoting school spirit; and this challenge has been met with great success. At- tendance records, another job handled by the Club, show an increase of 8% overall in all athletic events. There is one point on which we believe the Pep Club has become quite lax, and that concerns communicating with the student body the time and place of an event to be held. For instance, at one basketball game played at Topeka, there was an attendance of thirteen people. We believe a lack of communication on the part of the Club's leadere was responsible for this. We also believe, however, that the Club wel- comes constructive criticism and will attempt to remedy this situation. But on the whole, the school can be proud of the Pep Club’s ac- tion in attempting to bring about a unified student body. Bob Vickery We Should Be Proud - 158 - Comments That Old Black Magic In our world of skepticism and rationalism, few of us would ever admit the possibility of ghosts, evil spirits, or supernatural mediums. But that possibility is not so slight and the idea is not so far-fetched as one might believe. Father Gifford, Iirish missionary to Af- rica, related tales of unbelievable stature to the wide- eyed religion classes of senior instructor Father Simons and junior teacher Father Rockers. Father’s experience with supernatural possession and exorcism of evil spir- its on the Dark Continent has been more than enough to convince him of the existence of the so-called im- probable. His first contact with black magic came in Africa when a certain white family requested Father Gifford’s aid at 2:30 early one morning. Upon arriving at the home with his holy water and prayer book, Father was met by the man of the house who brought him into a den where an old man was sitting in a chair, head bow- ed in hands. Sounds of grunting pigs came from the living room and from another part of the house. The gentleman who greeted Father directed him to a bed- room where his young and usually pretty wife was stretched out on a bed. In her prostrate position, the young woman was a horror to view—her face was gro- tesque in contortion and her mouth was wide open, pouring forth hideous grunting noises. Father was astounded, shocked, and not a little spellbound, yet he lamely gathered his wits and opened his prayer book to recite the house blessing, sprinkling holy water over the woman as he prayed. Almost immediately, her stiff body relaxed and her face regained its normal features. Father Gifford felt more than greatly relieved, but still wonder-struck at the situation. When questioned as to the possibility of ghosts and spirits, Father said that it was very plausible be- cause St. Thomas Aquinas once avowed that many souls in purgatory perform their punishment by re- turning to those places where their sins were commit- ted. This statement certainly adds fire to the dimly glowing embers. Father Gifford stated that many noted and re- spected authorities on psychology, psychiatry, and other fields of experimental medicine have written in defense of these abnormal occurrences. (Many psy- chiatrists today believe, just as anyone who was men- tally deranged was once considered to be possessed or a witch, that the other extreme prevails. Now, anyone who is strange and mentally abnormal is supposed to be a mental patient.) These doctors feel tha£ many pa- tients in our psychiatric wards, the so-called incurable, are possibly cases of diabolical possession; but due to wide-spread skepticism, no steps have been taken to confirm such beliefs. Of course, there were still many non-believers in the crowd who failed to be persuaded by Father’s thick Irish brogue and quick Irish wit, but then there are doubters in every group. , a Pam Atchity Stag on Rome Adventure February 11 proved to be an exciting day for one of our own who traversed the wide Atlantic via TWA jet to the enchanting city of Rome. Peggy Noonan, senior reporter for the Miegian, set out on a trip which was a memorable occasion. Her father, Mr. William Noonan, Director of Terminal Services for TWA, de- cided to make his business trip a pleasure, too, and give his daughter an early graduation present. Peggy left Tuesday to travel by herself to New York and from there to Rome, where she would meet her father. The jet made two brief stops in Paris and Milan before it reached its final destination in the Eternal City. The Noonans stayed at the Majestic Hotel on the lovely Via Venito. Her father having business confer- ences during the day, Peggy found herself alone to ex- plore the many facets of the ancient city. She joined with various tours and thus saw the fascinating views— St. Peter’s Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, Coliseum, Pan- theon, Forum, and the Circus Maximus—of old pagan Rome and its Christianity. Rome, of course has spell- bound visitors for ages with its romance and charm; and Peggy was no exception. The Trevi Fountain, fa- mous for its three coins, gained another three as Peg- gy made her three wishes. When queried about the food and customs, Peg- gy answered that all the food was delicious (and fatten- ing?), especially the spaghetti which was served as an appetizer at every meal. However she remarked, You can get better pizza in the U.S.” Souvenir shops along the ways entranced Peggy, in particular the fine leather gloves which could be purchased at a considerably lower price than in the U.S. Relic of nobler days, and nob- lest arts! De- spoiled yet per- fect!” Byron Peggy Noonan at the Coli- seum. Saturday, Mr. Noonan joined his daughter fora pleasure trip to Naples, Pompeii, and Sorento. The bus route took them along the Mediterranean coast, a summer tourist attraction because of its clean, sandy beaches. The city of Pompeii, covered with 30 ft. of lava in 79 B. C. with the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, revealed a life once rich in splendor and glory. Sunday morning, father and daughter attended Mass at St. Peter’s and afterwards visited the tombs of Popes Pius XII and John XXIII. That same day, Peg- gy headed home after experiencing the grandeur that is still Rome’s. 159 - Second Quarter Spurt — Races Miege Past Pius Sparked on by a 33-point second quarter, Miege went on to an easy 86-60 victory over the Warriors of St. Pius X on February 15th. Trailing 16-13 at the end of the first stanza, Miege, led by Jim Bornheimer and Danny Watkins, blew past the hapless Warriors. Four Stags hit in double Figures—Bornheim- er, 21; Watkins, 16; Grabenhorst, 13; and Shaunty, 12. The Stags enjoyed a 48% shooting accur- acy on 36 out of 75. The Warriors were also outrebounded 50-23 with '‘Bones” Born- heimer pulling down 15. Coach John Schmiedler cleared the bench at the end of the game, and John Welch and Dennis Har- ris came through with 7 counters apiece. Jim Rau provided Pius's only bright spot as he worked the boards for 17 points. The score by quarters followed: B.M. -13 - 33 - 17 - 23 86 Pius -16 - 16 - 18 - 10 60 Regional Hopes Lost All Miege's hope for placement in the Re- gional were destroyed in the first game as Miege fell to Turner 61-58. Turner’s hot shooting and the Stags' lack of rebounding power and inability to control the ball in the final two minutes decided the outcome of the game. The Stags were able to keep close and after times pull slightly ahead of Turner throughout the game. But the lack of Jim Shaunty who was needed in the rebounding was just too much. Jim Bornheimer was the Stags chief threat with 24 points but he was not enough. Other good but futile at- tempts were added by reserve guards Mike De Coursey and John Welch. The rest of the scoring went as follows: De Coursey - 10; Welch - 9; Watkins - 6; Hickey - 5; Doer- en - 2; and Glaeser - 2. SPORTS Most Impressive Victory of Season Over Pem Day The Miege Stags played that top brand of all-round basketball and earned themselves a smashing victory over the Pembroke Coun- try Day Red Raiders 81-63 on the victore court. The Red Raiders were previously ranked as one of the top five teams in the city; but the Stags shot them down with rebounding, sharp shooting, and an excellent team effort. Pern-Day was never in the game as Jim Bornheimer had a pair of quick goals to build the lead in which the Stags never lost. The first period ended with the Stags leading 21-15, and then came back in the second quarter to lengthen the lead to 42-29. This second quarter scoring lead was built mainly by Bornheimer with 11 and Shaunty with 6, who were aided by the fine efforts of Bill Doeren, Jim Grabenhorst, and Dan W at kins. The third quarter put the game on ice for the Stags, who outscored the tiring Red Raiders 20-9. The Stags lengthened their lead to as much as 24; but the never-say-die Raiders came back and only lost by 18 points, which was one of the most considerable point wins for Miege this season. Miege saw its most outstanding defensive night by out-rebounding the big Pern-Day five 44-32, with Bornheimer bringin down 17 of them. With an outstanding team ef- fort, the Miege boys stole the ball contin- ually and went on in for scoring plays fol- lowed by the stunned Daisies. The Stags also hit 48% of their shots from the field. Bornheimer led the Stags with 24 points; followed by Doeren with 12; Grabenhorst, 11; Shaunty, 10; and DeCoursey, 8. No one was left behind as all the Miege playere scored. The other scoring went as follows: Glaeser, 5; Watkins, 4; Hickey, 3; Welch, 2; and Harris, 2. Tom Geraghty Miege Runs To Fifth Straight Using its delay game to full advantage, the Miege Stags defeated the Turner Bears on their home court Feb. 25. Miege, utilizing its speed, ran to a 15-10 first quarter ad- vantage. Jim Bornheimer, the second lead- ing scorer in the area, had contributed only two points up to that time. Turner was forced to play catch-up bas- ketball from then on. The Bears narrowed the lead to only 3 points with two minutes remaining. It was then that Miege put its stall into effect. A rash of free throws and lay-ups closed out Turner’s hope of a vic- tory. Maur Hill Mauled The Junior Ravens of Maur Hill were completely smothered by the Miege Stags, who compiled an 84-46 victory on their home court. The Ravens were plagued by cold shooting and their inability to do anything right while the Stags pooled their talents to stymie the Ravens with an impressive show- ing. The Stags outshot, out-rebounded, and completely outplayed Maur Hill, as the Ravens proved to be a little contest for an improving Miege team. Jim Bornheimer and Dan Watkins led the Stags with 15 and 14 points respectively and were part of the rambling team which punctured Maur Hill’s zone defense and overcame their weak press. Adding spice to the game was the scoring duel between Bornheimer and Jim Tinsley, the leading scorers in the area. For the night, at least, Bornheimer came out on top, as he scored 29 points to Tinsley’s 20. He got ample scoring assistance from Wild” Bill Doeren, who popped in 14 points, mostly on outside jumpers. Jim Shaunty, Dan Watkins, and Jim Grabenhorst each contributed 5 points to the cause. With this victory, the Stags pushed their record to 12-6 for the season. John Wall The boys drove the baseline and'hit from outside to compile a 42-15 half-time lead, and they had little sweat the second half as the reserves got into the act. Other scoring in the game went as fol- lows: Grabenhorst, 12; De Coursey, 11; Welch, 9; Shaunty, 8; Setter, 6; Doeren, 4; Hickey, 4; and Glaeser, 1. - 160- The Tradition of Miege (cover) Change in Stuco Nominating Three years ago, a Kansas City, Missouri woman donated an old painting to Bishop Miege High School. The painting, that of a Ma- donna, was in turn set in the library in the northwest corner where few people even noticed it. Last year the painting was seen to be in poor condition. It had been placed under glass and the paint itself was soiled and blistered. So a member of Student Council took it to a local artist for appraisal. In May of last year, the painting was taken to the Nelson Art Gallery for complete restoration. During the period of restoration, it was found that the portrait, painted by an unknown European artist in the late 18th or early 19th century, had survived a fire. A total area of one square inch of paint was missing in the form of tiny flakes, which were replaced by the Gal- lery. The canvas was cleaned of several layers of varnish and an ac- cumulation of soot. The old canvas fibers were removed and only the remaining painted fibers were fixed to a Masonite board. This backing will now serve to make the painting rigid and longer lasting. The origi- nal frame is still around the painting, though the wood has deterior- ated and has a porosity and texture similar to some cheeses. A shadow- box now encases the original frame and has been guilded and antiqued to match the original. Now back after ten months of rejuvenation, the picture again hangs in the library until a suitable place can be found. This painting, donated only a few years ago, belonged to our name- sake, Bishop Jean Baptiste Miege, a French Jesuit. This man was the first bishop of the territory of Kansas, which included Oklahoma, Col- orado, as well as Kansas. He was from a wealthy French family, and he brought the painting with him when he came to America. John Wisner found out that a nun from St. Mary’s in Xavier, Kansas, who is now dead, actually was in correspondence with Bishop Miege's family in France. She wrote a book about him, still to be published. The senior class is initiating a search for anv information in the form of docu- ments, pictures, or articles which may give a little more knowledge about this pioneer bishop. Anyone finding any information should contact one of the officers. A group of seniors have been invited to peruse the manuscripts of this nun concerning Bishop Miege. Janean Harnden NOMINATION, CAMPAIGNS, and then the ELECTION is the standard procedure which will be used again this year for Student Council; however, there will be a change in the nomination of candi- dates. The old method proved insufficient. Now there will be an Ad- visory Committee made up of the freshmen, sophomore, and junior class presidents, the four class moderators, the faculty moderator of STUCO, an elected representative from each class, and a final Nomi- nating Committee consisting of all the senior members of Student Council. Campaigning WILL TAKE place from April 27 to May 1, and at this time the Student Body will vote on the newly ratified constitu- tion. $1063 To Bishops Relief Fund A final hard push on the last day of the drive put Miege over its $1,000 goal for the Bishops Relief Fund. The final amount exceeded the goal by $63 with an approximate $300 coming in on Holy Thursday, March 26, the last day for the collection. Among the projects which the Student Council initiated to raise money for the Fund were Break-the-Cafeteria Day, when students were asked to bring their lunches and to contribute the money usually used for buying lunches to the Fund; D-Day when Stags were asked to con- tribute a dime or a dollar; and No-Uniforms-Day when the girls could pay a quarter and be excused from wearing their uniforms; this latter was on St. Patrick’s Day. Student Council officers Dave Martin, John Wisner, Terry Alley, and Martha Ziegelmeyer presented the check to Archbishop Edward J. Hunkeler on Holy Saturday morning at his residence.

For centuries Latin has con- veyed the glory of the liturgy and its liturgi- cal use has been part of the glory of Latin. But only part. As Professor John Heller de- scribes it, The great glory of the Latin lan- guage is that it was the vehichle for some of the world's greatest literature. Its written forms preserve precious records of the civili- zation and wisdom from which our own cul- ture is derived.” Students in Sister Raymond’s Latin 111 class are discovering that Latin, as a parent language, holds the key to complete understanding of all literature and develops historical vision, as they read Cicero’s im- passioned attempts at saving the Republic and scan the flowing hexameters of Ovid and Virgil. Sister de Lourdes' Latin 11 classes have become acquainted with Hercules, Ulysses, Jason and the figures of early Roman his- tory. At present they are marching through Gaul with Caesar, watching him emerge as a towering figure in a unique period of his- tory. With newly adopted textbooks. Sister Gerard, Sister Gregory and Mrs. Sullivan are laying foundations in grammar, mythology and history — giving their students the keys to the language which Pop John XX111 de- scribed as “most suitable for explaining with special facility the intricate and profound nature of things.” Latin — not for living — but for life. Because of the tremendous need for more communication between the two countries of France and the United States, the study of France and its language has become in- creasingly necessary. Ten years ago, the National Ministry of France conducted a study of the results of the current language program. The result of this research is the French course taught this year: La Voix et Images de France.’’ This course consists of a series of life sit- uations, depicted on film, with a natural question and response in French on the tape recorder. This enables the student to put himself into these situations and to respond accordingly. Sister Mane Therese believes that such a program of language study gives the student an active knowledge of the language. Sister also commented that the results so far have been most encouraging. Today, in learning Spanish, more emphasis is placed on understanding through speaking then understanding through the traditional grammar translation method taught in past years. Mrs. Maria Iturralde teaches Spanish at Miege.

Campaign for Moritz for ’64itz Earlier this month, Mr. Raymond Moritz, American government teacher at Miege, accepted the Populist Party nomination for the Presi- dency of the United States. Now begin the grueling weeks of speech- making, planning, handshaking, and tense waiting as the primary elec- tions, and finally the national election, approach. Anne Sexton and Pat Stiles, two influential Populists, have organized the campaign down to even the seating arrangement for the victory celebration to be held at the White House in January ’65. In the '64 presidential elections, one of the crucial issues is the spoils system; Mr. Moritz is coming out strongly in favor of it as one of his platform programs. Miss Koetting, another faculty member has consented to act as his running-mate in ’64 to get the men's votes. These campaign ideas coupled with the candidate's proposed amend- ment of minimum voting age lowering makes '64 look like a good year for the Populists. What’s In A Name Is your first name Mary? If so, you have lost your individuality at Miege. In a recent survey of First names, according to how each student is registered, Mary was the most popular name, with 66 out of 612 girls hav- ing this name. This is a little over 11% of all the girls at Miege. For the boys, the names of John and Michael tied with each having 45 out of a total of 430 boys. Therefore, almost 21% of the male student body at Miege was named either Michael or John. The second most popular girl's name was Patricia with 33, followed by Kathleen with 26. Barbara came in fourth with 25. On the boys' side, James was the second most popular name with 33. Robert was next with 25. According to the available cards there were no first names beginning with I’ , “Q , U , “X”, Y”, or Z”. O” was the only letter of the alphabet having just one name, which was Olivia. Among the 1042 cards checked, there were 254 different names. One hundred and twenty-six students shared their first names with no one. This left only 126 names to be shared by the remaining 916 students. “J” and 'M were the most popular let- ters of the alphabet. The names of 178 stu- dents (98 boys and 80 girls) began with the letter J”. ' M accounted for 175 names (51 boys and 117 girls). This is because three of the most popular names - John, Michael and Mary - started with these letters of the alphabet. Some of the 126 names of which there were only one are: Alana, Brick, Candi, Cheryl, Daryl, Clarence, Colleen, Felicia, Freda, Galen, Hamilton, Lucinda, Lonnie, Mayrose, Marilea, Megan, Roxanne, Sergio, Signe, Vinceen, Wolfgang, and Storm. 1 end this article with this thought. To those of you who dislike your name, be thankful that you weren’t christened Icha- bod, Uriah, Zenobia, Zachariah, Wilhemina, or maybe Enos. Candy McLoughlin Anne Sexton and Pat Stiles, campaign managers, congratulate Mr. Ray Moritz, American Government, on his success as a presidential nominee. - 164 - Kansas District Tournament.

Doug Irmen, Mary Kay Hippman, Don Stags Prove Forensic SkillsKortin The tension, work, and nerves of sev- eral months have paid off— Miege has amassed a sizable number of trophies, medals, ribbons, and plaques attesting to the forensic skill of her students. There is a lot more to a speech tourna- ment, though, than meets the eye. It’s not just hopping into a car one after- noon, speaking for five minutes, and bringing home an award. Preceding all this, there are several anxious weeks of arduous labor spent in composing, po- lishing, and committing a speech to memory. If the individual does not plan to give a prepared talk, there's still time to be spent in organizing a series of un- related facts into a co-ordinated body. During this period also there’s the prob- lem of registration (“Are we in or not?!”), chaperones, finances (“It’s how much to get registered?”), and rides. If one survives this ordeal, there's still the awful “night before. This time is spent wondering about the caliber of competition, caliber of judges, how well prepared the student-speaker is, and whether or not the team is registered. If everything goes all right up to that point, there’s always the problem of a traffic accident, the motor exploding, a dead battery, or a sick chaperone. Still there is no rest. Now is the mo- ment of trial; all the preparation and anxiety are laid on the line against the competence and preparation of the op- position. This year, Miege has been well repre- sented at all the tournaments she has attended. A special vote of thanks goes to Miss Lucas, the head speech coach. Miss Koetting, the “proxy coach”, and Mrs. Sullivan, novice coach, for their excellent work with the speakers at Miege. Mandate For Change: The White House Years by Dwight D. Eisenhower Alumnus Now Program Director If you listen to K.U.D.L. radio station, you’ve probably heard of Jack Jackson, the disc jockey who recently won the “Singing K.U.D.L. Good Guy contest. Well, no doubt you’ve heard of him, but do you recognize him? Possibly a few seniors do, because Jack was a graduate of Miege in 1961 when they were freshmen. Of course Jackson” isn’t his real name- actually it’s his middle name. His real name is Jack Schwab. After graduating here, Jack attended his freshman year at Hock- hurst college. His first job in his present field came that year when he worked for K.CJ.C. radio station in Merriam, Kansas. After some time, he became Program Director there. The following summer he acquired a first class engineer’s license in Dallas, which was a great help to him in his work. The license gave him the opportunity to obtain a better job at K.C.K.N. radio station as an all-night D.J. He attended his sophomore year at U.M.K.C., and in January of that year became af- filiated with K.C.M.O. Broadcasting Station, where he announced a.m.- f.m. radio and television station breaks. Nine months later he accepted the offer of Production Director at Demand radio and was shortly pro- moted to Program Director. Then, early this year, Jack heard of an opening at K.U.D.L., and has been with this station ever since. Jack is very happy with his career, although he admits that he didn't even think of entering this type of business until he was ac- tually faced with the opportunity. He intends to finish school at U.M.- K.C., however, where he now a junior and majoring in radio and tele- vision production. Personal history is combined with highly partisan political his- tory in this hefty volume by our ex-President. The personal details are probably the most readable portions of the book, leaving the often weighty exposition of politics and policies in Ike’s first term in the White House. Eisenhower is orderly, logical, and consistent in describing the creation of his political career, presenting his middle-of-the road con- victions, and defending his White House actions and programs. He dwells, not unnaturally, more heavily on his successes than on his fail- ures. And he speaks with apparent candor of the reasons behind some of his most important actions, such as his decision to run again after being stricken with a heart attack in 1955. All in all, it must be said, the self-portrait of the first-term Eisen- hower bears strong resemblance to the image of the man created by others, friend and critic alike, during and since his Presidency. Here is the affable, friendly, patient Ike, man of good will, adhering to the simple, old-fashioned American virtues, hoping the rest of the nation and the world will follow his lead. Yet, on the domestic level, much of the Eisenhower record seems to have been written in sand. It now seems dated and irrelevant, re- flecting how little enduring impact the Eisenhower years had on our times. The former President strikes far more resonant notes in his dis- cussion of international affaire, notably the conflict of East and West, the problems of European defense, and the awesome responsibility of controlling nuclear power. He speaks with passion and conviction, re- minding us that these are indeed the central issues of the mid-twen- tieth century.

Ideas Materialize in Home Ec Class projects always seem to make a subject more interesting and worthwhile. Sister Marianne's homemaking class decided they’d try this method, and the results were good. In studying special family days, the group felt that Baptismal Day is as important as birthdays and the celebrations of Father’s Day and Mother’s Day. Each member of this class celebrates the day they were christened by renewing their baptismal promises in a special ceremony. In order to challenge fine students who had already had two yeara of sewing, these more experienced sewers were appointed as instructors to groups of five and six girls who had never used a pattern before. The instructors purchased a simple dress pattern and a fabric for them- selves. It was the duty of the leaders to teach their individual groups all about the pattern. The leader's helpers were to join in making her dress, stitching and basting as she advised. Diane Feren, junior, gets pointers on cutting out a pattern from Sistei Marianne, Home Ec teacher. Janis Hensler and Barbara Latx hold a baptismal dress that has been used in the Latz family for seventy-five years. Proud of their new outfits which they made from beginning to fin- ish are Rose Marie Barton, Patty Asher, Beverly Yeado, and Susan Glennon.

The first ideas brought to most persons' minds when Communism is mentioned are those of terrorism, the Berlin Wall, secret police, brain washing, elimi- nation of opposition, and communes. How could anyone accept all this? The answer is that when people are introduced to Communism, they are exposed to a philosophy of life rather than to Party practices, good or bad. Communism's philosophy of life is that if people will become or- ganized and will co-operate with Party leadership, the world can be changed for the better and that eventually a perfect society will be established. Its philosophy continues to say that the contributors must follow a code of morals which are aimed at building this reformed so- ciety. Communism's philosophy appeals to intelligent people who are aware that something should be done to amend the existing order. Join- ing the Party gives the members a feeling of belonging, of being instru- mental in furthering the cause of justice. Soon, most Party followers become completely dedicated to the Party and to the spread of the Communist philosophy. One could substitute the word Christianity for Communism and Church for Party in the previous paragraph and have truthfully de- scribed another philosophy of life. Christianity also offers the promise of a reformed society (For instance, Christianity says that if all people would follow Christ’s commandment of love, there would be no racial prejudice, no injustice, no such thing as some individuals being exces- sively wealthy while others starve), it demands that its followers ad- here to a certain code of morals in order to bring about this better so- Stags to Music Festival The sounds of music will ring once again as many high schools from the Archdiocese gather for the annual Music Festival at St. Ben- edict's College in Atchison on April 23. The Miege Choir will be among the representatives with Sister Marie Therese, director, accompanying her group. The day will begin with Mass in the chapel at which all schools will assist in the singing. After Mass the schools will assemble for group practices which will occur at different intervals during the day. The Festival itself will be held for the public that evening. The girls and boys will each sing two pieces; together they will present three others, and one with the combined bands and choruses. Among the selections to be presented are: Lerner and Lowe’s Camelot, Robert Shaw’s Aura Lee, Rodgers and Hammerstein's Pre- ludium from the SOUND OF MUSIC, and Ralph William's arrange- ment of Born To Be Free which will be done by the combined cho- ruses and bands. Math Students in Contest As members of Mu Alpha Theta (the national high school and junior college mathematical association), Miege has been invited by Kappa Mu Epsilon (the national honorary mathematics society at Mount Saint Scholastica) to participate in a math contest on the Mount's campus May 2. Participants from Miege will be: Shirley Dreil- ing, Paula Bibb, and Martha Ziegelmeyer, seniors; Suzanne Boland, Susan Wood, and Chris Gelpi, juniors; Karen Spinner, Susan Lohoef- ener, and Janet McDaniel, sophomores. There will be competitive divisions open to primary groups with a maximum of 2 years of math, intermediate groups with a maximum of 3 years, and advanced groups with a maximum of 4 years. Students entered in each division will be tested on definitions, computation and thought problems corresponding to their respective divisions. Only girls may participate this year. ciety and enjoy a perfect world after death, it says that each individual is important to this goal, and some of its members become completely dedicated to the Christian philosophy and to the spreading of its prin- ciples. 1 said some of its members do (as compared to most Commu- nists). If all of them did, Communism's conversions today might not outnumber those of Christianity. Why is it that only some followers fully commit themselves to this Christian way of life which promises the same things as Communism but with one added feature: God? Is it because it is much easier to forget that God has placed certain re- sponsibilities on his creatures? Yet dedicated Party members are will- ing to accept many responsibilities without being aware of the infinite love of God. Communism is a terrible indictment on the indifference of so-called Christians. One person who discovered this spiritual lack in Communist philo- sophy is Mr. Douglas Hyde, who was a Communist for twenty years. During this time, he was news editor of the London Daily Worker, a member of the Party’s London secretariat, and a world traveler to spread the principles of Communism. He is now a Catholic and is trav- eling widely to tell people about Communism and its followers. While in the Kansas City area in late February, he gave a talk at Rockhurst College. After describing his experiences as a Communist, he proposed a solution to that philosophy. He stated that we must recognize the need to Christianize our society and its institutions and that young, edu- cated Christians should feel a responsibility to do something to change the world like the Communists want to do: “If the Communists need leaders, so do we - we need Christian leaders.'' Anne Sexton Frosh Complete Projects The Freshmen girls in Miss Falke's homeroom have completed a number of projects. On Saturday, March 14, Miss Falke accompanied her class to St. Rita’s Inn, a home away from home for elderly people, to present two plays. The first play was Arsenic and Old Lace, and the other was The Tragic Tragedy. The cast for the plays included: Candi Ward, Linda Nemeth, Barbara Swartz, Mary Sue O’Connor, Sherry Smiley, Pat Murphy, Barbara Wolski, Patty Porter, Linda Hog- an, Jeanette Wilpert, Mary Tucci, Paula Scardello, Linda Sine, Jo El- len Yount, Nancy Owesley, and Kathy Smith. To brighten up the scene a committee was formed to decorate the tables and to make centerpieces. The girls on the committee were Joyce Tebbe, Joyce Puhr, Mary Pantoja, Stepanie Kloster, Margaret O'Rourke, and Barbara Stoebick. At the end of the production cookies were served by Carol Tram- posh, Jean O’Neil, Kathy Philips, and Nancy Owesley.

Jim “Bones Bornheimer • The second leading scorer in the area, had some added incentive to excel in the Pern-Day game. What was her name, Jim? Little needs to be said about Jim’s performance as illustrated by his being voted Most Valuable Player of the year. I r J. Bornheimer fT' ■ 2. ’Wild’’ Bill Doeren Bill received an added boost before the St. Joe game. He bought a pair of glasses and has sworn ever since that it’s much easier to hit baskets when you can see them. ★★★ ★ B. Doeren 3. Jim “Chief’ Grabenhorst - The Hogan game was Jim's big splash this year. He had the whole crowd on its feet when he made his wiggling, driv- ing, falling (?) layup. J. Grabenhorst M. De Coureey J. Shaunty 1 M. Glaeser ★★★★ ★ 4. Mike De Coursey - Hayden of Topeka felt Mike’s big sting. It was against the Wildcats that he hit 14 points in the last quarter spurt. ★ ★★ ★ 5. Jim Shaunty - Ward’s Cyclones will long re- member Jim. Ward, figuring that if they bottled up Bornheimer they could easily break the game open, was surprised when Jim came through with his 29 point performance. 6. Mike Hickey - One of our most productive re- serves, Mike’s performance against De La Salle was one of the highlights of the season. He came in and took charge of the backbone helping Miege to one of her many upset victories. 7. Mike Glaeser - “Goose’’ as he is lovingly called by his coach, shook up Miege’s rooters on several occasions in the Raytown South game with his behind-the-back passes and twisting layups. This year’s basketball team provided us with many excitement-filled games, I’m sure next year's team will. The season was filled with its ups and downs. The disappointing performance of the team in the Hayden Tournament was one of the low points. But Miege rose to new heights with its upset victories over Pern-Day and De La Salle. This group of well-trained athletes never gave up, whether ahead or behind, throughout the entire season. I see no reason to feel anything but proud of ’64 edition basketball team. John Wall 63-64 Player Rebounds Recovery Assists FT-FT A Total Points Bornheimer 245 64 40 113-157 435 De Coursey 61 25 31 42-57 164 Doeren 47 21 25 10-20 117 Glaeser 8 5 3 3-5 10 Grabenhorst 52 23 28 23-48 139 Hickey 90 11 15 14-35 62 Shaunty 133 43 20 38-68 199 Watkins 52 38 28 24-39 140 Welch 17 15 3 5-9 42 Now that basketball season has closed, it is fitting that recogni- tion be given to the team and to those individuals deserving it. There were many close games which might have gone Miege s way, but didn't. Here the win-loss record does not show the entire truth, but does give the Stags a winning season of 12 victories against 8 losses. The boys also had a 67.9 game point average which was the highest in the re- gion. Miege was not at a loss in placing several of her players in the area high scoring. Leading the group for the Stags was Jim Bornheim- er who placed second in the area with a 21.1 game point average, miss- ing first place by only .1 of a point. Jim was also the leader in the Northeast Johnson County Scorers. Other Stags who placed in the top 20 Northeast Johnson County Scorers were Jim Shaunty placing fifth with a 11.2 average, Mike De Coursey 9.2, Dan Watkins 7.9, Jim Grab- enhorst 6.9, and Bill Doeren with 6.2 game point average. At the end of the season, the players gather and vote for some in- dividual player honors such as Most Valuable Player, the Alley Cat of defensive hustler, and the Most Improved Player. Receiving the honor for most improved is John Welch and for Alley Cat of the year is Dan Watkins. Jim Bornheimer takes the award for most valuable player and is highly deserving of it. Jim could be called the backbone of the team, leading the Stags in rebounds, recoveries, assists, total points, and high game point average. Jim, together with the rest of the team, deserves a pat on the back and congratulations for a fine, impressive, and successful basketball season. _ Tom Geraghty Track Team Exerts Great Effort This year the track team has the largest turn out of boys ever to participate in this sport at Miege. There are many returning seasoned varsity and junior varsity members with a lot of promising freshmen. Of the returning seniors are Tom Dwyer, Tom Geraghty, Jim Garner, Dave Burns, Pat Normile, and Jerry Ring. Of the many assisting sophomores, John Cain received 12 varsity points in 3 events and John Fleskes, following in the footsteps of Pat Normile, ran a 4.53.0 mile. To date the track team has participated in 6 meets: the Shawnee Mission East Quadrangular, the State Indoors, Ottawa Relays, the Washington Relays, the Argentine Relays, and the Emporia State Re- lays. In the first meet with Shawnee Mission East, Pat Normile ran the mile in 4.37.3 to give Miege a 1st place and 5 points. Tom Dwyer ran the 440 yd. dash in 54 to give Miege a 4th place and 1 point. At the Emporia State Relays, Jim Garner threw the javelin 178 ft. to place 1st in the javelin. The team has practiced vigorously every day from 3:15 until ap- proximately 5:45. Practice in field events include discus, javelin, shot put; and running events include 100 yd. dash, 220 yd. dash, 440 yd. dash, 880 yd j-un, mile, high hurdles, low hurdles. - 168 - Bill Sine I960 A Abeel, Dennis: Industrial Arts Club 3; In- tramural Basketball 4.
