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

Text from Pages 1 - 216 of the 1965 volume:

The Miegian—what is he? In the year of 1964-65 there are over a thousand people who bear this title. This yearbook is a reflection of a student of Bishop Miege High School and the things which make him what he is. A Miegian is a student, first and foremost. He may choose from a wide range of subjects which develop his talents and help him achieve self-discipline which af- fect his entire life. Along with the intellectual virtues, a Miegian de- velops moral perspective in every phase of student life. At Miege he learns to accept the challenge which faces today’s youth—that of preserving Christianity in a so- ciety threatened by corruption and moral decay. All work and no play make education a tedious pro- cess. A Miegian learns to channel himself, to use his en- thusiasm, energy, and force to become acquainted with things beyond the classroom, beyond himself, and be- yond his school years. All human beings are composed of mind and body. An education which did not consider the student from a physical as well as mental standpoint would be poor in- deed. At Miege, however, sports play an important part in the Miegian’s life, giving him an opportunity to de- velop his body as well as his mind. So what is a Miegian? He is a complete, total per- son, educated and developed mentally, morally, social- ly, and physically. The 1964-65 yearbook presents. ..

How is success mea- sured? Perhaps a few considerations will help us analyze this subject. A successful man who lacks the quality of greatness is one who has accomplished personal goals for personal gain. Such a man is a parasite who impoverishes his fellow-man, and because he has taken more than he has given, only the grave will open its arms to welcome him. Is such a one suc- cessful? Is that what we mean by success? Hardly. Truly successful men possess the quality of greatness and it is their greatness that is the real measure of their suc- cess. Great men are selfless; they are restless in their effort to serve the interests of others. Great men never reach their goal because the needs of their fellow men are never satis- fied. And so, great men are always active, always alert and sensitive to the needs of others, always giving of themselves. Pope John XXIII and John F. Kennedy, for example, never fully accomplished what they set out to do. And it is interesting that the world never speaks of them as successful men but rather as great men. To speak of them as succesful men does not place them in the proper category of men. Both of them were dedicated to serving the best interests of their fellow men. Both of them gave to the world more than they received. And so the world has not lost them. They live on in the lives of their fellow men who were inspired by their greatness. Their greatness has rubbed off on others. Are such men as these successful? Is this what we mean by success? The answer is obvious. To be interested in success then, is to be interested in greatness. WE have been called to greatness: “Love one an- other, as I have loved you.” During the short history of our high school, more than 2,000 have been involved in forming the character of Bishop Miege high school. Although much remains to be done, we are proud of the achievements of these past seven years. Mostly, we are proud of those many individual students who had this quality of greatness. They have made the difference! This has been Sister Raymond’s third year as registrar for Miege. Sister is responsible for recording transcripts, handling reports, answering question- aires, writing college recommendations, and scheduling classes and tests. Sis- ter Raymond has proved herself invaluable in maintaining good relations with students, parents, and the teaching staff. - 8 - Set Standards Sister Georgetta and Mr. Dick Byard have successfully carried out their duties as guidance counselors once again. Sister has the advising responsibilities for the majority of students, while Mr. Byard gives individual attention to seniors. Sister Georgetta has been Guidance Counselor for five years; Mr. Byard has now completed his second year as counselor. Sister Martina, dean of girls, has completed her second year in this capacity. Sister often has the unpleasant job of setting down rules and giving demerits.

Through this program faculty members are enabled to use better material and more advanced methods of presentation for the benefit of the students. Depart- mental discussion meetings are attended each month improving the quality of the teaching and providing answers and so- lutions to questions and problems, both general and particular. Here Bill Buchholtz, John Bremser, and Mark Ba- tanic discover the wonders of science through a mi- croscope in Biology class. Science Physics is the highest science course for high school students. To enroll in Physics, the student must first be enrolled in Ad- vanced Math. At right Charles Weingart, Ken Sokol, and John Donahue perform an experiment with the lab’s electrical equip- ment. - 14 - Through Departmental Study Math Miege offers many math courses in its curriculum. At right Sister Pauline s Geometry class learns logical thinking through the use of theorems in solving problems with geometrical figures. Theresa Obermeier and John Fleskes, members of an Alge- bra II class, demon- strate the standard deviation method of grading. Business Typing, Shorthand, Bookkeeping, and Secretarial Practice are courses included in the business curri- culum at Miege.

Hands Are Stepping- DEBATE In addition to our successful de- bate team, this year we have a novice debate class where students learn the principles of debating. Miss Lucas mod- erates the debate team and class. SPEECH Speech class is a very interesting class to observe, with oo’s and ah’s here; and o’s and eh’s there; and lifesavers everywhere. It’s different all right. This process is used to make the stu- dents enunciate their words. As the year progressed, under Mrs. Sullivan’s supervision, the class produced plays, skits, and pantomimes. Second year art student try their skills with paints. You mean they have a couree in thinK 1,ke th“? ART Painting is only one of the areas in which the advanced art students work. With the help of their teacher, Sister Clarice, they sketch, and make collages and mosaics. - 18 - Mr. and Mrs. D. E.

Power And Responsibility It didn’t take long before journalism stu- dents found themselves involved in headlines, deadlines, datelines, and planning. Whether news writing and reporting or yearbook pic- ture cropping and reducing, staff members gave their all willingly. Long hours were often required in order to meet both yearbook and newspaper dead- lines on time. Saturdays and Sundays be- came standard journalism days. Much credit belongs to the long-suffering photographers, Jim Brock, Ken Spencer, Bill Sine, Bill Finnerty, and Jim Noon. With little thanks they spent countless hours taking, de- veloping, printing, and drying pictures in the dark room. Yearbook Section Editors were: Corinne Brazeal, Mike Donovan, Rosalind Eckstrom, Jim Reinhardt, John Lynam. Newspaper Editors were: Kathy Flynn, Mike Judge, Jim McCauley, Mike Kelly.

This year’s math clubs con- sisted entirely of Juniors and Seniors. Due to the increased number of students in the clubs, Sophomores were not able to participate in these clubs. Both the Senior and Junior math clubs had planned field trips to various places that could afford great opportunities of learning to people who have en- tered into the field of mathe- matics. Much of the work of plan- ning the clubs’ activities was dis- cussed at the club meetings un- der the supervision of Sister Do- lores and Sister Pauline. President John Fleskes presides over meeting in discussion. Math And Science Opportunities Throug h Clubs Suzanne Boland reports to members of the Math Club on Euler. The primary purpose of this year’s science club was to prepare their members for future careers in all fields of the science world. Ex- periments, discussion meetings, speakers, and field trips furthered their efforts. This year’s moderators were Mrs. Sneider and Mr. Swardt- fager. Junior Homeroom 133 — 4A. Patty Dugan.

A Miegian, however, is given a truer perspective. He is taught that his pur- pose of existence is not to gain this world but the next. In religion classes, as well as in all other studies, he learns to put God in his life and find Him in others. With such a background, a Miegian will be well equipped to enter an adult world and draw others to his God, his religion, and His salvation. This was marked by a revitalization of the Church by the Second Vatican couonl. At Miege this was found in the religion erases, especially. Scripture study Was renewed with emphasis on bible history. The Mass beca Miegians were able extent and of new innov dialogue.

The participants are J. Puhr, B. Buchholz, T. Alley, M. Espinosa, C. Bartkoski. The religion classes give the Miege student a daily opportunity to gain a greater appreciation of the teachings of our Faith. The students are given a chance to have their questions answered and explained, while being taught the mysteries of the faith. Col.

To strengthen this relationship and place it foremost in the minds of Miegians, each day is begun with the Fledge of Allegiance led by Terry Alley and then Fr. Blaufuss reads and explains a passage of the Bible. And Practice Stags are brought into a closer union through the corporate receiving of the Holy Eucharist. Ellsworth Flower Shop, 5107 Main Street, Kansas City. Missouri - 33 - The sacrament of Penance is made available Thursdays before First Friday and often after school. Here are Patsy Alley, Chris Barr, and Barbara Edwards taking advantage of this op- portunity. Each First Friday finds the Miege students unified in the holy sacrifice of the Mass. They Mary Spence lights the third candle on the Advent wreath during morn- ing prayers. The third candle being lighted represents the third week of Advent. Jim Reinhardt contemplates under the Jesse tree which is decorated with its symbols from the Old Testament. Waited The liturgical year of the Church has two seasons of preparation and repentance; Advent and Lent. Dur- ing both seasons the members of the Church try to make themselves more worthy of Our Lord through penance and prayer. Lent is the more sorrowful of the two, since it is during this time that the liturgy contemplates the misery of fallen humanity. Advent is the first season in the liturgical year and is a period of preparation and repentance mingled with joy and hope. The liturgy during this time stresses the absence of Christ and the whole Church eagerly awaits Our Lord’s coming. The Mass prayers in the time of Ad- vent express the deep longing for the coming of Christ, and are filled with urgent appeals to the Messiah to de- lay no longer. The idea of Advent is for the individual to prepare himself for Christ. This is done through devotion to the sacraments, assistance at the Mass, prayers, and good work. Two of the more common symbols of Advent are the Advent wreath and the Jesse tree. The Advent wreath marks the waiting period of the Church, and the Jesse tree is a Christmas tree decorated with symbols which are taken from the Old Testament and prophecies of the Messiah. Miegians participated in Advent as a whole through the morning prayers. Passages from the Old Testament were read to us, and the importance of Advent was ex- plained. There was a ceremony every day to light the candles of the Advent wreath. Howard McCall, Vince Howard. Rob Grothous, Barbara Matz, Chri- tine Rini, Barbara Cramer.

The Miege Christmas Drive working through the homerooms, helps provide food, clothing, and gifts for the needy. This year 33 families were helped to have a happier Christmas. During the Mass, which is the focal point and culmination of the Christmas season, the Stags give once more, as they give glory to God, and fellowship to one another. The Offertory is especially significant to the Stags as they offer themselves to God and what they can of their material goods to the needy. They Came Gifts, representative of those given, are laid before the altar. Bearing Ted Busenbark, Dave Hartis, Allan Pinne, and Pat J. Murphy package food that will help a fam- ily have a happier Christ- mas, as Sister Marie Te- rese looks on. Gifts. . .

Senior Homeroom 134 — 3B, Dan Watkins, Chairman - 35 - This year’s PoVo members have started some- thing new. In the past PoVo has been a club whose purpose was to inform its members about the life in various religious orders, but this year PoVo extended its activities to apostolic works. Members visited homes for the elderly and entertained them by talk- ing with them and helping them overcome their loneliness. Vice president Kathy D’Agustino, treasurer Joyce Tebbe, secretary Mary Sullivan, and presi- dent Joan D’Agustino plan PoVo’s activities, which will be carried out under the guidance of Sister Philip, moderator. The PoVo Christmas dinner held every year has become a tradition and singing Christmas carols at an old people’s home after the dinner is an es- sential part of this tradition. YCS has two main aims: to form Christian leaders; to Christianize society. YCS also trains one to lead meetings, to work with other people, to speak publicly, and to work with other groups. This year Sister Pauline and Mr. Ray Schroed- er are the moderators of the junior YCS. At each of the meetings, different questions concerning the Christian youth movement are put before the club and a discussion is held. Then at the following meeting the members bring back opinions they have collected from various people outside the club. - 36 - Homeroom 235 — 5B — Junior. .Maggie Vanneman.

To do this, he has had to learn how to associate and deal with the people with whom he comes in contact. The best time to learn this is in youth, the best place, in school. A school is a community on a small scale where, to be successful and happy, one must live in harmony with those in that community. Nothing facilitates this harmony like a good school spirit. A pride in the school is a common bond which draws the students together. A Miegian has many opportunities to develop this spirit within the school. Mixers and assemblies rank highly as occasions for students divided by class, studies, and interests to enjoy themselves to- gether in a more or less informal atmosphere. Pep and Lettermen’s Clubs do a great deal to spark their enthusiasm. In a different, but equally important way, the Student Congress of Bishop Miege gives the mem- bers of the student body a chance to work for union and self-government in a form of democracy. These and many other important activities are Miege’s keys to a good society and a good life for those within it. The 1965 yearbook presents the Miegian. . .

Members of the yearbook staff began the campaign by invading every homeroom to explain the purpose and rewards of the yearly event. Class compe- tition was to be a major incentive because the class bringing in the most money would not only gain points for itself, but also be given a free-day near the end of the year. The success of this campaign resulted in: Sister DeLourdes and senior spy Leslie Rohr listen avidly as John Cain, junior, tells of his latest scheme for the ad cam- paign.

The Success of Student Congress, or any such organization which presents the student, can be determined best by the students it represents. I feel that the success should be bas- ed on not how much was done, but the quality of what was done. If to you, the student feels his voice has been heard, our efforts have not been in vain. In deciding, though, I caution you to remember whether or not you voice your opinion-openly. If not, how could we act, if so, I feel you have been heard. In behalf of the Congress, I wish to express thanks to those who did show an interest. Your co-operation has made this past year a real experience for all of us on the Congress. Thank you for your interest. Sincerely, Terry Alley Student Congress President Exchange students from Central observe the work- ings of a typical Congress meeting. Ten Finalists for Homecoming Queen.

This year’s Cross-Country team enjoyed one of their most success- ful seasons in their three year history by compiling a record of six vic- tories while losing only one. Coach Art Zimola was blessed by the re- turn of almost the entire last year undefeated Cross Country team and the addition of several surprise runners. Team depth was improved by the addition of first year men Bob McConnell, Jim Glennon, and Mike Kelly.

In fact, we have lost only twelve games in the previous six years, while winning forty-two. In the eyes of many, those who are not true followers of an athletic team, these are factors that point to a very unsuccessful season. How then do the true followers look upon a season such as the 1964 one? We cannot deny the facts already mentioned. We are probably more aware of the reality of these facts than anyone else. But we look upon their season in a different light. Not everyone can win every game or every trial. Someone will always lose in score when- ever there is competition. There is, however, something else to win, besides the final score. This is what we feel when we win. Probably in no other year of football has this lesson been learned so well, but we the coaches, players, and loyal followers won the respect and admiration of each other by re- turning week after week, working, and playing to improve on the last week’s performance. Never was there an individual coach or player who could not say he was doing his best. This is real victory.

In their first year at Miege, the Freshman Class has distinguished itself in both the scholastic and athletic fields. The main obligation or duty of this class is to correspond with each other to bring about a class unity and a general welfare at Bishop Miege high school. I feel that four years from now, our class, the class of ’67-’68 will be more than ready to accept the responsibility of seniors, as seniors.

Everyone in the class has tried his hardest to participate in projects both in and outside of class. The Class of ’67 has put out great effort to participate whenever I needed them. They have always had great enthusiasm at the football and basketball games, thus making the players more relaxed and confident of winning. The sopho- mores of this year have been great and I hope that they remain the same in their years to come here at Miege. fa Sophomores Spend Year In Transition Adams, Diane Aita, Anne Patrice Albers, Linda Amoneno, Pamela Armenta.

Another class is preparing to leave the halls of Bishop Miege, never to return as students. As we stand together for the last time, we, the class of ’65, look back and remember the years, the people, and the activities which led us to the place where we now stand. Four years ago we were the ‘frosh,’ the lowest form of life in any high school. But we were the biggest class, and determined to make our influence felt, if not appreciated. So we closed our ranks and became, not members of St. Agnes or Holy Name or any other grade school, but Miegians. Once our class unity was established, we let people know it. In class and out, our enthusiasm made the upperclassmen look to their laurels. Three years ago, we became the ‘upper’ underclassmen. This was the year when we settled down, assuming more responsibility, enjoying more privileges, and no longer looking for the school elevator. From studies to Student Council, we worked with an eye to the fu- ture, to the day when we would have to lead the school as upperclassmen. Two years ago found us in our junior year. We treasured every minute of experience and preparation, because this was the year of the traditional junior headache—Junior-Senior Prom. But once again, we rallied our forces, put our shoulders to the wheel, and put on the beautiful Grecian Rhapsody Prom, one of the most precious of our memories. All too soon our senior year was upon us. From within our class came the leaders of the school for Student Congress, for many of the clubs, for the publications, and for the ath- letics. In assuming these responsibilities, we have tried to set an example to those who will follow us, hoping that they will learn, both from our successes and our failures.. Our mo- ments of glory have come and gone, and we pass the torch of leadership to other willing hands. Now our time is at hand. The joys and trials, happiness and tears of these last four years live only in the past. May we always cherish this part of our lives in our hearts as a common bond, uniting us in spirit, rejoining us in memory. Graduation is here. As we have looked backward with pride, let us look forward with hope—beyond our high school years to the lives which lie before us, the many roads which we will follow.

Following in the footsteps of its predecessors, this year’s paper staff has at- tempted that and more. By the comprehensive reporting of anything and everything which involved the student, combined with the feature presentation of the unique and the in- dividual, we sought to create a newsmagazine of ever-expanding interests for the student. In addition to this, the year’s editorial policy was extended to include con- sideration and analysis of any factors or changes which we felt would affect the student body or the future of the school. Inevitably, there were times when we possibly fell short. But, as promised in the first edition, our successes and our failures were always geared by a desire for progress and a sense of challenge. Upon first impressions, one might conclude that the editorial pages treated certain areas more critically than others, or that the exposure of certain “sensi- tive” areas was too extreme. A paper’s purpose, however, is not to camouflage or to “Sweep under the rug.” Guided by this philosophy, we sought to commend that which deserved praise, and to challenge that which, in our opinion, needed improvement. Ultimately, the extent of our success can only be determined in the years to come. But, in reading over these past editions, we hope you’ll find a certain amount of satisfaction in seeing the year as you lived it; and that, for us, is equi- valent to a successful year. - 112 - Exchange Student Joins Seniors This year’s foreign exchange student, Anita Bonvini, is from Panama City, Pana- ma. She arrived in Kansas City on July 27, after spending a week in Washington, D.C. She is now prepared to spend a year as a member of the student body of Bishop Miege High School. Anita is staying at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Schiavo, whose two daughters Kathy, a junior, and Cindy, a freshman, also attend Miege. Last year Anita graduated from Mary Immaculate School, which is a combina- tion grade school-high school for girls in Panama City. Due to the fact that she only knows English word meanings, she is taking English 11 and IV to help her with the gram- mar and usage. Anita is also taking Ameri- can History and American Government to help her understand the customs and laws of the United States. Religion and Home- making round out her schedule. The oldest of five children born to Orlan- do and Gladys Bonvini, Anita has three younger sisters, Aliana, Adriana, and Alicia, and a younger brother, Orlando. Anita will leave Kansas City after school dismisses in the spring and will spend a week in Washington and a week in New York be- fore returning home. Anita Captured By Miege Spirit. Enrollment Gains Slight for ’64-’65 With an enrollment of 1,068 students, figures showed only a small increase of 16 students com- pared with over one-hundred new students at enrollment time last year. The evenly matched freshmen and sophomore classes claim 283 students each, the juniors 258, and the seniors 244. An interest- ing fact to come out of enrollment figures is that at Miege this year there are five girls to every three boys. Upperclasses Elect Officers Once again Miege students have elected class officers who will serve with competence and spirit. The seniors nominated and voted in the gym on September 11. The results of this election are: president, Fred Silady; vice-president, Don Fortin; secretary, Mary Dyer; and treasurer, Jim Glennon. The juniors, who will have to plan the prom, elected Jim Dyer, presi- dent, and Bill Van Hecke, vice-president. Suzy Linton will keep class records while Bob Watkins will be in charge of the trea- sury. Joe Dold is Sophomore Class president, with Jim Glendon assisting him as vice-pres- ident. The secretary is Jean McAvoy and the treasurer is Bill Sosna. These students plan to make this year the best Miege ever had. In order to assist these students, class moderators were appointed from the faculty. Sister Gerard and Mr. O'Connell, Miss De- Graves and Mr. Reardon, and Sister Paul- ine and Mr. Rost are the moderators of the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes re- spectively. New Method Of Weighting Grades To Affect Student Body On Inside Pages Article Page We May Well Challenge 2 Beautification Issue 3 Military Academy 4 Junior-Senior Test Dates 6 Kelly’s Kolumn 8 In an interview on September 4, Sr. Ge- rard, English teacher and moderator of the National Honor Society, explained the new system of grading which will be used at Meige this year. A system of weighting grades to give more credit to those doing more difficult work is set up to include the following kinds of classes: lower, average, and accelerated. The majority of the courses are average. A cer- tain number of grade points is received on the basis of the grade letter received. For instance, in an average tract class, A’s, B’s, and C’s would be worth 4.0, 3.0, and 2.0, re- spectively; in the lower tract they would lie 3.5, 2.5, and 1.5; and in the accelerated class, 4.5, 3.5, and 2.5. D’s range in points from 1.5 in the accelerated to 1.0 and 0.5 for av- erage and remedial respectively; no points are given for F's. Each class would be graded entirely with- in itself. This means that the competition would be only with those of the same abili- ty. The lower tract student is then rewarded for effort and the accelerated student is forced to work up to his capacity. For the honor roll and National Honor Society, the average of points amounts to regular A and B averages if first honors are given to those with 4.0 averages and second honors given to those with 3.0 averages. This wil) not be retroactive in regard to the National Honor Society. The greatest benefit of this system, said Sister, is that accelerated students are no longer penalized for being so. - 113 - Open Letter Well, Frosh, we’ve only known you for four weeks, now. At first, with the char- acteristic attitude of a “big brother, we were somewhat skeptical of your ability. Your predecessors (that means us) didn't topple any temples their freshman year; and we didn’t expect you to be any differ- ent. But you are, and that’s what we mo- mentarily forgot. All classes are basically different. We all contain both good ana bad, but the degree of each varies, and there lies the cause of difference. Some classes simply have more of one element than of the other; because of this it will often seem that the failures the few create in moments will over- shadow the successes the majority will create only after months. But they can’t — and they won’t if you continue to curb their existence. If your conduct in the beginning is char- acteristic of your overall attitude, then you’re off to a good start. The Freshmen You are not, contrary to the feelings of some, true Miegians yet; but you can be and we expect you to be. We define the title Miegian in terms of effort and accomplishment. You have an opportunity during this first semester to display effort and produce accomplishment that is unparalleled in the history of the school. Your activities are limited solely in the in- terest of affording you the opportunity to promote better class unity, a factor that is critically needed if you are to succeed. You are challenged as we were not. There is, therefore, no excuse for your not equal ling or surpassing our accomplishments in every field. We’re no longer skeptical, Freshmen; we’re only curious. Now we can only wait, wait and watch, and hope that you finish as well as you have started. An Upperclassman Let Us Begin Life is a succession of beginnings. And wonderfully so, because there is a freshnea and zest in man when he approaches the op- portunity of beginning. New goals are fix- ed; new and better plans are adopted; firm- er resolutions are made and a new spirit of cooperation rises to the surface. With the opening of school we approach a new beginning. And the enthusiasm that we see everywhere in school suggests that the accomplishments of this school year will lead Miege to new heights. We welcome into our midst the new mem- bers of the Faculty, those who have trans- ferred to Miege from other schools, and the new Freshman class. Those to whom Miege is no stranger need no welcome, but we do want to express our happiness in having them together again. Mindful of the remarkable accomplish- ments of the past six years and the students who labored so zealously to establish the name and reputation of Bishop Miege High School, we call upon each of you to hold your head high and to give something of yourself in carrying the banner of Miege to even greater heights. Let us begin by seeking the blessing of God and asking Him to grant peace to this house and all who dwell within its walls. Father Sullivan Principal School Unity Is Alley Appeal The goals and purposes of the coming year have been outlined for us. The chal- lenge of unity and spirit is one of the great- est we will face this year. As president of your Student Congress, I have accepted this challenge. The other officers have also join- ed me. We feel that it can be met and con- quered with the all out co-operation of each individual student. You all placed your confidence in us by the elections last fall. In order to make this year a success you must again display this confidence. You must show it by uniting be- hind the ideas and goals of Student Con- gress. Each of you must make these goals his goals. Each of you must become an in- tegral part of the Congress. Voice your opin ions and criticisms in the open where they can be heard by all concerned. Tell the right people. This often takes a great amount of courage. Any coward can talk big when he’s sure he won’t be heard. Anybody can tear down, but it takes real men and women to build with constructive criticism and ideas. (Con’t Pg. 7) We May Well Challenge In the six short years since our foundation, Miege has seen six different school publications come and go. Each of these publications, in its own right, employed a different ap- proach to achieve student interest in student activity. Each of these was acceptable—each satisfactory. Not one could be set apart from the others by calling it totally success- ful. We, the editorial staff of ’64-’65, do not intend to fall into this cate- gory. We do not intend to have our efforts labeled merely acceptable, our undertaking merely satisfactory. Success is our goal; and that success can only be derived from the overall success of the school. With this as our creed, we will do everything in our power to assure the student of a concise, objective understanding of anything that affects the life of Miege. We will not censor—we will not criticize. And in like manner, we will not compromise. The best and lasting interests of Miege shall be our only concern. In the service of these interests, we may well question, we may well challenge, and we will certainly praise. We do not consider ourselves the voice of the Congress, the Adminis- tration, or the Student Body at large. We are the voice of Miege. Anyone who wishes to express himself, with the best interests of Miege in mind, will be readily granted that privilege, so far as we are able. We also consider ourselves subject to authority, and therefore subject to criticism. Any suggestions presenting the possibility of editorial improve- ment will be warmly received. Our success is your success. Help us to achieve that goal.

And Once Again. .. Beautification Although there is almost three thousand dollars in the Student Congress treasury for beautification, so far nothing has been done. For several years now we have heard talk of the many ways we could beautify our school. The plans have been many, but the results few. The ’60-'61 Congress initiated the Beau- tification Project by contributing money to a Grotto Fund. Plans A Grotto dedicated to Father Sullivan. Results Nothing. The ’61-’62 Congress through funds con- tributed by various clubs decided to add still another aspect to this project. Plans Stained glass windows for the chapel. The school crest exhibited. Results Nothing. The '62-’63 Congress sold $9,000 worth of chocolate-covered almonds to finance their project. Plans A complete landscaping for the entire school. A sidewalk along the south drive. A “Senior court yard with a fountain. Lights for the parking lot. Results Nothing. Last year’s Congress, with the previous year’s funds, slated a less ambitious but slightly more effective legislation concerning this projects. Plans A wall statue. We believe that many of the lesser known aspects of what makes up school life go un- noticed. We, therefore, dedicate this column to the alleviation of this situation. The fol- lowing are facets that make up the whole of Miege life. This first column consists main ly of observations by the editors. We hope in later editions to include comments by the students. ★ ★ ★ Last year, under the leadership of Judy Zomparelli and Carolyn Chrzanowiski, Miege had a band, a band whose enthus- iasm and initiative presented the possibility of equalizing the efforts of other area schools in this field. These two girls, working only with the cooperation of a few other dedicated stu- dents. accomplished much more than those who proceeded them with similar attempts. A plaque for the facade. The name “Miege placed where it could be seen. Shrubbery. Results Trees were donated and planted. This year’s Congress has inherited many of the problems and mistakes of the past Congresses. It must and can learn from these mistakes. The mistakes, we believe, lie in these three areas: (1) the impracticality of many of the plans; (2) the cumbersome ma- chinery of Congress; (3) lack of student sup- port. In order to eliminate these previous mis- takes, we would like to offer the following suggestions. In the first place, there should Js We See Jt The Fditorial Staff sincerely encourages those who are genuinely interested in the development of school spirit, to work ac- tively for the development of a decent band. We find it ironic that we dare to success- fully challenge the area schools in other fields of student activity, and yet cannot compete with them in the field of school spirit, where Miege should be always first to succeed. ★ ★ ★ We believe Student Congress’s attempt to rekindle the spirit of patriotism should be both admired and encouraged. We hope Congress will continue in their efforts to bring this almost forgotten aspect into stu- dent life. ★ ★ ★ For all of the ability to be found in our - 115 - be a committee set up to study the possibili- ties of architectural and landscaping im- provements and to determine if these pro- posed plans would be compatible with the over-all planning for Miege. Secondly, in order to eliminate the red tape involved in any project undertaken by the Congress, we suggest that perhaps it could be placed on a class level coordinated by the above-men- tioned beautification committee. Lastly, al- though the final decision of what will hap- pen to this year's beautification rests with the administration, the student must let his voice be heard. We suggest that all student give this project their full support so that, finally, this year something will be done. ranks, we seem to do little in the interest of consistently encouraging it outside of class. Our theatrical productions in the past have been tremendous successes; each has contri- buted to Miege’s image by presenting its talent to the public. W’hy not, then, an annual play or variety show that will become a definite part of the school? Why not something that talented stu- dents can prepare for, something that all Miegians can look forward to? Why not tradition? ★ ★ ★ Many Miege students have signed up to march for Al-sac, the organization set up for leukemia research. Such unselfishness is rare and commendable. Academies Draw Graduates Richard McGill Thomas Barry John Ludwikoski Three Miege graduates, Rich McGill, Tom Barry, and John Ludwi- koski have recently started on the long road to becoming commissioned of- ficers in the United States Armed Forces. Rich, a 1962 graduate, will be starting his third-class, or second year at the Air Force Academy; John, class of ’64, will begin his fourth-class, or freshman year at West Point; and Tom, ’62, will enter the Navy’s special prep school for Annapolis. During their four years at the academies, they will be under a highly demanding schedule, both physically and mentally. What the academy pro- grams amount to basically is five years of college crammed into four. To graduate from most of the major colleges in the United States, a total of 120 hours is required. Graduation from the academies requires a total of 180 hours or more. The academic program includes everything from advanced math, sci- ence, and technical courses to languages, law, and political science. The physical demands made on a cadet are just as strenuous as the academic demands. The average cadet’s schedule is so arranged that he must be in top shape just to survive from day to day. Besides rigid military training, each cadet is required to participate in either intercollegiate or intramural ath- letics all year round. Cadets are also instructed in wrestling, boxing, and judo. After graduation from the academies, the cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in their respective branches of the armed Froces with the obligation to serve for at least four years. Many graduates make the service their careers. Admission to the academies is a major feat in itself; and once a person obtains entrance, a high degree of self-discipline, dedication, and persever- ance are the only things that will keep him there. Miegians Rich McGill of the Air Force Academy, John Ludwikoski of West Point, and Tom Barry, soon to be of Annapolis, are indeed three more good reasons for Miege to be proud. TAMS In Need Attention all Miegians! If you are inter- ested in doing some worthwhile service for your community, join the Teen-Age Moni- tors. TAMS, as they are frequently called, meets once a month at the Children’s Re- habilitation Unit of the Kansas University Medical Center. Their major contribution is the organization of clubs and activities for the physically handicapped and mentally- retarded children, most of whom have had cerebral palsy. Along with entertaining and training the children, each TAM learns how to deal with each individual child and how to cope with his disabilities. Of course, the TAMS also have picnics and get-to-gethers for them selves, too. TAMS have more than two hundred mem- bers, girls and boys, representing twenty- five junior and senior high schools in the greater Kansas City area. Members from Miege have always been among the most active; but with the graduation of several members last year, new members are now- needed. If you are interested in becoming a TAM, attend any of the orientation meetings, the first of which will be held on October 5 at 4 p.m. If you would like to know more about TAMS, see Rosalind Eckstrom, senior, pres- ident of the Kansas City TAMS. Howdy” A Success A welcome mixer sponsored by the Miege Student Congress for sophomores, juniors, and seniors was in full swing on Friday, September 4. The Outcasts, a local group led by Dan DeCoursey, a junior, provided the music for the mixer which was held in the gym Pam Sposato, chairman of the Social Committee in the Student Congress, ar- ranged committees for the dance and direct- ed them on their duties The theme of the dance was western, and all of the classes wore name tags saying ‘Howdy. The Stu- dent Congress gave free cokes as a token of welcome. Annual Race Jot Queen Zo Regin. Will the seniors do it again? or can they be bested by the freshmen, sophomores, or juniors this time? Only time will tell; and that time rapidly approaches as October 9, the opening date of the annual Miegan year- book ad campaign nears. On Friday, October 9, the two-week drive for ads will begin. It will be run much the same as it has in previous years, with the same system of class competition as existed last year. The class bringing in the most money from the sale of ads on a percentage basis will be declared winner. The winning class will be allowed to elect a Yearbook Oucen, and this year the enthusiasm dis- played by the winning class will count to- ward the class award at the end of the year. There will be a sales barometer for each class in the cafeteria foyer, and students may judge the success or failure of their in- dividual class by watching the mercury rise. This ad campaign is extremely important as it is the deciding factor in the problem of whether or not there will be a yearbook for 1964-65. This decision belongs to the stu- dents because the yearbook is theirs. The yearbook staff can only do what the stu- dents wish, and try to please them by put- ting out the best yearbook they can with the money they have to work with. To have the same size yearbook as last year’s, the students must raise a minimum of $3,500. This quota could be met if everyone would bring in two boosters, or $4. To make a suc- cess of this campaign, everyone must meet his responsibility and do his part. One per- son could mean the success or failure of this year’s yearbook. So, on October 9—everyone go out sell those ads! - 116 - Teachers Recount Unusual Experiences In Latin America Sister Pauline and Mr. Kamond Schroeder recently returned from Mexico and Peru re- spectively where they had been involved in teaching activities. When Mr. Schroeder joined the Papal vol- unteers in 1961, he was sent first to Mexico to gain a working knowledge of the Spanish language, and then on to Lima, Peru. There he worked hand in hand with the Maryknoll missionaries.. Worth Of The Bible Not $3.75 For each student, the Bible is the story of his life. This is the firm belief held by Father Anthony Blaufuss, spiritual director at Miege. In accordance with this idea, the religion department is incorporating a new method in teaching religion this year. Now, more than ever, in this time of social change, it is important that the student should know his religion; but first he must know himself. Through the use of the Bible and the new religion book, Christ Teaches Us Today, stu- dents will be able to learn about their reli- gion more fully and thereby make their lives more meaningful and Christian. This book has been chosen because it incorporates the ideas put forth from the Vatican Council and is completely up-to-date. Bible reading and discussion will be more prevalent also, because it has been found that the Scripture and Liturgy are the basis or foundation for our spiritual life. It is hop- ed that, by investigating the Bible and the people and situations in it, the reader will indeed be investigating himself and can pro- fit tremendously from the experiences of others. In their parish there were 32,000 people. Of these, 25,000 were middle class; they lived in apartments or duplexes. The other 7,000 were poor; their living conditions con- sisted of wooden shacks and mud huts. The teenagers of Peru played a major part in Mr. Schroeder's work. In his efforts to bring the teenagers together and get them to practice their religion, Mr. Schroed- er and his co-workers sponsored athletic activities. To be able to carry on these activ- ities, it was necessary to start from scratch and build facilities for them. Communism Problem Communism in South America is a threat because the people have no conception of w hat Communism really is. And because of the peoples’ ignorance of it, Communism was one of the main things Mr. Schroeder and his associates had to guard against. This they did by living their everyday life as good Catholics, thereby making an example for the people to follow. The Papal Volunteers are definitely serv- ing a purpose in South America. Not only are they teaching the people physical skills, as are the other groups; but also they teach the people how to be Christian. His work during the past three years has made Mr. Schroeder one of the most accom- plished Spanish teachers available. It has also enabled him to be of assistance to the Catholic Charities of Kansas City, Missouri, in the work of Cuban refugee resettlement. Sister Pauline, who teaches Algebra II These girls together with Susan Conrow, who is missing from the picture, have worked up many new cheers for the season and have a “spectacular in store for half-time. Listen- ing in on different gossip, these clues were accumulated in reference to the cheer. First and Geometry at Miege, spent a somewhat cooler summer in Mexico without her habit This was done in compliance with the re- quest of the Bishop of Guadalajara that those religious attending government schools don secular clothes. This is a result of laws passed in the early 1900’s banning the wear ing of habits by the religious. Sister spent from June 22 until August 25 in Guadalajara, Mexico. Her first ten days were spent in visiting the families of students who will, or have attended Ursu- line College in Paola. After that, most of her time was occupied in teaching five Mexican nuns their first lessons in English. She also audited a Physics Class in one of the govern- ment schools. And for those students who think they’re having a rough time in Mr. Frazier’s class, Sister's class was completely in Spanish! Experience Earthquake In regard to her sight-seeing, Sister Paul- ine spent a week end in Mexico City. During this time she was in an earthquake which lasted about five minutes. No great damage was done, but there was considerable panic, and Sister admits that she too was scared”. She described the sensation as that of being in a rocking row-boat. Sister Pauline also saw her first bullfight. Asked her first impression, she said, I felt kind of sorry for the bull. She stated that she liked the bullfight, however, and after understanding the actions of the bull fighter, she enjoyed it even more. of all, the cheer starts with eight consecu- tive back flips and then goes into the Chi- nese splits! And this is just the beginning. Why not come to the rest of the games and see our acrobatic cheerleaders in action? Cheerleaders Ready For Season Varsity cheerleaders Nancy Miller, Virginia Barbaur, Joyce Lehan, Debbie Spurk, Patty Dugan, and Ju Ju Barnard stop for the photograph- ers during one of their practice sessions. - 117 - Counselors Name Test Dates College hopefuls are advised by Sister Georgetta and Mr. Byard to watch the senior bulletin board and future issues of the Miegian for college test dates. The A.C.T. and or S.A.T. tests are required by most colleges before acceptance, so it is advisable that these tests be taken as soon as possible. ACT Registration Date Test Date October 10 June 5 November 7 June 19 January 23 July 24 February 20 August 7 April 3 April 24 The registration fee of $4 may be paid to Sister Georgetta or Mr. Byard. This test will be given at Shawnee Mission North. The S.A.T. will be given Saturday, December 5, at Rockhurst High School, Donnelly College, and U.M.K.C. Students are to register before November 7. The fee is $4.50 and may also be given to Sister Georgetta or Mr. Byard. A reminder to the juniors. The P.S.A.T. will be given October 24 at 9 o’clock at Miege. Stags enjoy Summer Frosh Teams Have Own Pep Club This year Father Sullivan and Miss Mur- phy have added something new to the Pep Club—a freshmen Pep Club. The freshmen Pep Club has been organized for the sole purpose of cheering the freshmen team on, so that they also will have someone to yell for them, just as the B-team and Varsity do. The freshmen Pep Club will elect officers, like the Varsity, and will also follow a point system. Demerits will be given for being in the wrong attire and for missing games. Miw Koetting, who is the freshmen monitor, will help see that this point system is exercised correctly. The freshmen will also be allowed in the Varsity Pep Club. They will wear their own uniform, consisting of a uniform skirt and red sweater, and may also attend the Var- sity games if they so desire. The only dif- ference between freshmen and varsity mem- bers is that the freshmen won't be marked at the games or be counted as regular mem- bers, as are the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Miss Murphy and the Pep Club officeis feel that this new Pep Club will give the freshmen more experience to be able to run a Pep Club of their own in the future, and will also give them something different to look forward to. Frosh Cheerleaders Carol Daniels and Kobbi Gulob, freshmen, were elected September 15 as B-Team cheer- leaders. The thirty entries performed a cheer in the gym before the pep club. They were then judged on their smile, pep, appearance, co-ordination, and personality. It seems, that some of the Stags had an exciting summer. Dan Watkins was elected King of Prai- rie Village in a contest sponsored by Prai- rie Village which teenagers from area high schools entered. Other entries from Miege were Mimi Hensler, JuJu Barnard, and Don Fortin. Linda Taylor made the rounds of the horse shows during the summer. She and her horse, Great Scott, evidently did well, judging by the first place ribbons they brought home. Charlene Chase, who plays in the Music Conservatory Accordion Symphony, was picked to play at a concert. More thrilling than that was where the concert was held— New York City! Linda Sims, a junior, won the second place medal at a baton twirling contest at Man- hattan, Kansas. Miege even had a folk singing group this summer. Seven freshmen girls practiced on their guitars and sang July 4 for the Brook- ridge Country Club under the name of the Moppets.” The girls from Miege were Connie Cramer, Suzy Kelly, Nancy Tipton, Lue Ann Manley, Laura Lee Manley, Lisa Miller, and Deirdre Mura.. Many Miegians travelled to near and dis- tant places. Two juniors, Mike Kirk and Mike Fuhman, were in Paris while Jan Curt- is made it to the Bahamas. Canada and Mexico were also visited by Stags. The World’s Fair was seen by many Miege stu- dents. But for most of the student body when asked, What did you do this summer? the answer was Absolutely nothin', and it was great! Club Week A Success “Join-a-Club Week was held September 21 to 25. On Thursday of this week, students were allowed to sign up for any club of their choice. As was the case last year, students may belong to one-non-academic club, or one of each. Most of the clubs will have the same moderators as last year. Changes in moderators include: Mr. Schwerdtfeger, who will head the biological section of the Science Club, with Miss Grotz taking over the Physical Science club. The Senior Math Club's moderator will be Sister Dolores; and acting as sponsor for the Junior Math Club will be Sister Pauline. The Future Nurse’s Club will be headed by Mrs. Bollig, and the Future Teachers’ Club by Sister Collette. The Library Club will have Sister Julianna as its moderator; the Art Club will have Sister Clarice; Home- making, Sister Marianne; Industrial Arts, Mr. Zimola; People to Peo- ple, Mr. Schroeder; and the Dramatics Club, Mrs. Sullivan. There will be no Latin club or French club this year. Sister Anna, co-ordinator of activities placed on the calendar, an- nounced that the academic clubs will meet on the first and third Tues- days of each month; the non-academic clubs on the second and fourth Tuesdays; the Letterman’s Club and Pep Club on the first and third Wednesdays; PoVo on the second Wednesday; and Y.C.S. on the four- th Wednesday of each month. Congress Initiates Citizen Award The past summer the Student Congress officers prepared a pro- gram for the student's betterment in school life. Nancy Kopek, Stu- dent Congress secretary, said that this year Miege will strive for a more united and competitive school, both within itself and with other schools. By doing so, the students will have a taste of real unity by working together or by working against each other for the same goal, the success of Bishop Miege. A boy and a girl will be chosen once a month by the faculty to re- ceive the Citizen of the Month” award. The students must show gen- erosity and responsibility to the school and community service in the school. A certificate will be presented to the students for their individ- ual merit. A preamble has been written for the purpose of explaining our new constitution. The constitution was written and approved last year. The constitution's first amendment was written mainly for a bet- ter voice of the student in Student Congress. The amendment says that the four officers of each class will participate in Student Congress by attending the meetings and being able to vote. The preamble and amendment were proposed and approved on Friday, September 4, by the student body at an all school assembly. 118 - Stork Strikes Zhrice Congratulations to the Byards, Fraziers, and Headons and the new members of their families. Special acknowledgment goes to Mr. and Mrs. Frazier for helping to reduce the 15 to 5 ratio the girls have in the fac- ulty children count. Stags Attend Workshops Miegians, travelling throughout the area, carried the name of Miege to other schools in Kansas and Missouri. The Student Con- gress officers attended a workshop at Hays, Kansas; the debaters attended a clinic at Shawnee Mission East High School; and the cheerleaders travelled to Marshall, Missouri for a clinic. Success marked the attendance of the four Miege Student Congress officers at the student council workshop held at Hays, Kan sas, during the week of August 2 to 7. Of their respective councils, Terry Alley was elected president, Doug Irmen was elected president, Nancy Kopek was elected secre- tary, and Ed Larkin was elected treasurer. Terry’s and Doug’s councils also tied for first in the competition. The workshop, attended by 150 students, was divided into six councils with each coun- cil assigned various problems to solve and discuss. The councils elected officers and were in competition with one another in such fields as softball, naming their council, and problem solving. The group also attended general sessions on leadership and other problems which face a student council officer. Representatives of the Miege debate class and team attended a debate clinic on Sep- tember 12, at Shawnee Mission East High School. An actual debate was put on and judged for the benefit of the attending schools. This year the debate topic is, “Nuclear Weapons Should be Controlled By an International Organization.” Those who attended from Miege were: Don Fortin, Ken North, Doug Irmen, Leslie Rohr, Nancy Yeado, Kathy O’Connor, Nan- cy Kopek, Larry Vienne, John Cain, Eddie Larkin, Diane Lusk, Tom Conry, and Deb- bie Rubaloff. Five Miege cheerleaders attended a cheer- leading clinic at Marshall, Missouri, July 5 to 10. The purpose of the clinic was to give the cheerleaders added experience and to provide new cheers for their respective schools. Our cheerleaders took fourth out of the fifteen schools with which they were in com- petition and received an honorable mention for their efforts. Those attending were: Virginia Barbour, Joyce Lehane, Patty Dugan, Susan Conrow, and Nancy Miller. Congress officers ask for student “backing up” at the freshman assembly on September 2. Teachers Join Faculty Eight new teachers were welcomed to Miege this year by students and faculty. Last year Miss Marie de Graves did most of her student teacher work with sopho- mores, but this year she has returned to work with her former students as juniors, teaching English 111. Miss de Graves is also junior class co-moderator. Another new face in the English department, whom many St Agnes grade school graduates may remem- ber, is Sister Baptista. Sister is teaching English I and II. Formerly of St. John’s in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, Sister Colette now teaches Gen- eral Math I and II along with Algebra I. The History department is happy to have two new members, Mr. John Fiorella and Mr. David Messina. Mr. Fiorella, a graduate of Rockhurst college who comes from Hogan High, now teaches American History and Latin I. Mr. Messina, who taught at Sacred Heart in Sedalia last year, teaches World History. Teaching Spanish I and II this year is Mr. Ray Schroeder, who has served as a Papal Volunteer for the last three years in South America. Mrs. Patricia Schudy, journalism teacher and newspaper moderator, who left Miege two years ago as Miss Patricia Hellinger, has resumed her job as yearbook moderator. Another teacher returning to Miege, after a leave of absence is Mr. J. P. Dalton. Mr. Dalton is teaching Communication Arts I and Latin I this year. New Religion instructors to join our staff are the Reverends Joseph Lopez, Vicent Krische, and Carl Zawacki. With the addition of these teachers Miege’s faculty now numbers 47. Assemblies Begin Year To reacquaint the upperclassmen with the school's discipline regulations, assem- blies were held Wednesday, September 2. Mr. Frazier, Dean of Boys, spoke to the boys, while Sister Martina, Dean of Girls, talked to the girls. Both Deans explained that the accumulat- ing demerit system would again be in effect this year. It was announced that the parking lot will be supervised this year by two fac- ulty members each morning and afternoon. Father Sullivan welcomed the seniors at their meeting and went on to discuss the re- sponsibilities of the individual senior. An assembly welcoming the entire stu- dent body took place on First Friday, Sep- tember 4. Father Sullivan celebrated Mass on the stage in the gym as the students re- cited Mass prayers. Immediately afterwards, Terry Alley, Student Congress president, proceeded with the business. Vice-president of the Student Congress, Doug Irmen, read the proposed Preamble and Amendment to the Constitution. Terry then called for a vote and both measures passed easily. In accordance with a new policy, on eveiy First Friday of the month a late morning Mass will be offered in the gym for the stu- dent body, after which students will be dis- missed. Alley Appeal (Cont. from P. 2) Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others. Your ideas and opin- ions are vitally important. This is our challenge. Make the idea of student government come alive. Make it a personal thing. Remember, there is no limit to the amount a human being can accom- plish, if he doesn’t care who gets the credit. Terry Alley Student Congress President - 119 - ZUV5 ffiyHlt With this the first edition of the The Miegian and consequently my first effort at writing for the current year, there are a few things I would like to say. First of all, thank you for the privilege of airing my opinions in your school paper. Secondly, I have the best of intentions; however, some- times you will wonder. Lastly, anything which is said in jest, please take in jest. Just as August 28 marks the formal opening of school, so too August 31 marks the official opening of the sports seasons here at Miege and around the state. Take for instance, our stalwart Miege football team. It began its offi- cial practice sessions on this date. Certainly they must be applauded for the fine job they have done in representing Miege’s name on the playing field. So now seems to be as good a time as any to thank the team for its fine effort. They have presented our school in a fashion which fits its tra- dition, and they are certainly a group to be looked up to, not only on the playing field but also in school. Along with our fine football team, the fall sports spotlight shines on the Miege cross country team. They too represent our school in open com- petition with other schools. This may seem quite odd to a few people be- cause rumor has it that these boys are being chased around the school by Coach Zimola and his four horse drawn, green, semi-automatic Stutz Bear- cat. This rumor is totally false; there are only three horses and it’s red. But really, all seriousness aside, Miege is going to be represented by groups of the finest boys any educational system could be proud of. I know that they will perform in a way which will honor Miege and put it in the place its prestige deserves. So may I be one of the first to wish you victory in all endeavors. . . LOCKER ROOM QUOTABLE QUOTES. .. “Say ya’ know the cheerleaders are faster than the backfield.” —Cham “How about another chorus of “She Looked So Fair?’ —Deacon “Nothing like a nice big peanut butter sandwich after two hours of practice.” —T.P. Stags To Try For Sixth Since 1959, when Coach Byard assumed his coaching responsibilities at Miege, the Miege football teams have forced the Ar gentine teams to defeat five times. Tonight we will try for our sixth consecutive victory over the Mustangs. Coach Byard, along with his three co- captains, places his strongest hopes in his interior line. Six returning lettermen fill these positions. They are: John Collins, center; Ron Theis and Bob Numrich, guards; Mike Mance, Dick Wall, and Jim Chrzanow- ski, tackles. According to Coach Byard, we also have good speed in the backfield, but who will start will be determined by the boys them- selves. Returning lettermen in the backfield are: Terry Alley, halfback; Danny West, fullback; and Dennis Harris, quarterback. When asked for comments, co-captain Numrich stated, I think we have a real lively team.” Harris and Theis both readily agreed. Future games include: St. Pius, October 2; Rockhurst, October 9; and Lillis, October 16. Wilson Leads Cross Country This year’s cross country program started the first day of school with Coach Zimola putting his ten Miege harriers through drills and calisthenics in preparation for the first two meets which were against Turner, on September 17 and against Argentine, on September 24. The team has been working hard every day in order to get in good shape for the coming season. This year’s team is. headed by senior Greg Wilson, a three year cross country runner. The team also consists of seniors Mike Fin- nerty, Terry Pyle, Mike Judge, Matt Orr, Mike Kelly, and Ken North. Others partici- pating are juniors John Fleskes, John Pyle, and the one sophomore, Bob McConnell. The five remaining cross country meets include: Rosedale, Oct. 2; Ottawa Invitation- al, Oct. 6; Shawnee Mission East Invitation- al, Oct. 9; Turner, Oct. 15; and Paseo, Oct. 22. Intrasquad Game Shows Promise Led by the determined running of a spirit- ed backfield and an equally determined de- fense, the Gold team streaked past the Blue team 34 to 6 in the traditional intrasquad game, Saturday, September 12. The Gold team was led to victory under the leadership of senior quarterback, Dennis Harris and the inspired running of senior backs Danny West and Terry Alley and sophomore back, Steve Scanlon. On the defensive side of the Gold team, Ron Theis, Dick Wall and Bob Numrich, along with juniors John Sandefur and Jim Chrzanowski, played an excellent game. The Blue team's only touchdown came on the blocking of a punt and the recovery of it by lineman Bill Dunn who picked it up and ran in for the touchdown. Tri-captains Dennis Harris, Ron Theis, and Bob Numrich will lead Stags tonight against Argentine. - 120- THE MIEGIAN Volume 7, No.2 Bishop Miege High School, Shawnee Mission, Kansas October 23, 1964 HOMECOMING ’64 TONIGHT The queen (who will be announced tonight) and her four attendants practice their smiles. They are from top to bottom: Nancy Kopek, Dianne Carr, Susan Brandmeyer, Phyllis Aliek saites and Mary Dyer. Royalty, to Reign Phyllis Alieksaites, Susan Brandmeyer, Dianne Carr, Mary Dyer, or Nancy Kopek will reign over the homecoming dance and game tonight. These and the other five can- didates—Virginia Barbour, Susan Conrow, Mary Espinosa, Mimi Hensler, and Sharon Walsh—were chosen October 7 by the jun- iors and seniors. Competition was then nar- rowed down to the five finalists by the senior class on October 8. After the game the students will attend the dance, which is not a date affair, and which will be held from 9:30 to 12:30. Stags will dance to the music of the Jumping Jacks who play at Lakeside. The evening will 1 highlighted by the crowning of the queen and her attendants. Also attending the homecoming activities will be some former queens who have entered a variety of professions since their gradua- tion from Miege. The first queen, Mrs. Marsha Colbert (for- merly Marsha Hess), is now married and living in Kansas City. She has two children — Deborah Lea, 5, and Christie Sue, 3. Since her days at Miege Pat Vennemen, now Sister Mary Bernard, has taken the Over Festivities vows of an Ursuline nun. She is attending school at Marillac College in St Louis. After going through airline stewardess training, Judy Arnold is working in Denver for Continental Airlines. Jeanine Allen, queen in 1961, is a recep- tionist in a doctor's office. Mary Fuchs attended Avila College last year and is now secretary to a vice-president of B.M.A. Homecoming queen last year, Lilian Pin- tar, is attending Marymount College in Sa- lina, Kansas. Stags Predict As Bonfire Burns Last night Stags gathered to watch a Wil- liam Chrisman player burned at the stake- in effigy. Predictions for success in tonight's game were given by Coaches Byard and Fra- zier and Tri-captains Bob Numrich, Dennis Harris, and Hon Theis. The bonfire was the first festivity of this year’s homecoming celebration. Student Body Ready For Annua Event Backed by a spirited student body and weeks of planning, Homecoming ‘64 will reach its climax today. After Mass at 11:15, a Victory assembly will be held to spark enthusiasm for tonight's game with William Chrisman. Opening the assembly will be a march led by the presi- dents of Student Congress and the Pep Club carrying the flag. Following them will be the vice-presidents of these two organizations carrying the school banner. The march will include former homecoming queens and the candidates for this year’s queen. Also in the program will be a baton twirling act by Kathy Fladung, Jan Curtis, and Linda Sims and a dance by Maggie Vanneman. After the assembly school will be dismissed so that members of the Pep Club can begin decor- ating for the dance. This gala celebration will be carried out under the direction of hard-working com- mittees consisting mainly of Pep Club mem bers. Carol Mura and Linda Sturdivan are in charge of showing the autumn theme throughout the decorations. Crowns for the queen and her attendants were made by Sharon Walsh and Juju Barnard. The throne, which will be on the gym floor, was planned by Leslie Kohr. All flowers, including mums and bouquets for the royalty, are being handled by Corinne Brazeal. Refreshments will be served by a committee headed by Mary Mulcahy. Interested in making this year’s homecoming a success, a group of jun- iors, under the leadership of Bob Dalton, have volunteered a float. On Inside Pages Article Page Editorial Reply 2 Conformity in Uniformity 4 National Merit Finalist 7 Stags Blank Hawklets 8 - 121 - Editorial Reply Eventual Results Leadership is a strange quality which can both build and destroy: Yet it cannot be de- fined or understood. It may well be likened to a substance the Byzantine Greeks used in their conquest of the world. No one has ever known exactly what this mysterious weapon called Greek fire was. So it is with leadership.—No one has understood it enough to measure it or know exactly what it takes to make a good leader. Here at Miege, we have our own share of leadership. There are about 60 students whose possession of this quality is obvious. These students are our chosen leaders, the members of our Student Congress. We have given them great responsibility and power. Now, it is our duty to respect and support their decisions. If we are honestly interested in putting Miege on top and in keeping alive our spirit and pride, we must realize that we have given them this power. We must also realize that the majority must and does rule. Although this seems self-evident, there are those who would have it otherwise. They are found in every class and in the Congress itself. If it were up to them, the year would fail. DANGERS VOICED The rumors that are voiced by these few, and even by the well-meaning student, are our greatest enemies. If you hear any such rumors, before you pass it on come and check with someone who knows. The Stu- dent Congress room is open almost every night. Come in and talk things over with one of the officers. Students who start and foster such rumors aren’t truly interested in Miege. They're only concerned with the first and third letters. We must realize that Patriotism Patriotism, now, as an active force, seems almost non-existant. Flagwaving and other open displays of patriotism are considered “corny” and out of date. And perhaps they really are. At the present time, it seems that love of country should be something felt but not shown. There is still reverence for Old Glory”, still silence for the “Star Spangled Banner”, and still love for America. But attempts to rally this elusive quality through remem- brances of why John Hancock wrote his name so big on the Declaration of Inde- pendence, fail to meet with any great re- sponse. It is not conjured up through such devices as a retelling of our forefathers’ problems at there are 1100 students here and that all 1100 of us need to be working for a common goal. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED In the last issue of the Miegian, a chal- lenge was offered to the Student Congress. We accept the challenge. We will attempt to become a “doing congress. We realize the impractibility of many projects. In our opin- ion the mechanics of Student Congress are too cumbersome only when little power groups are formed in order to stop actions that are truly wanted by the student body. We hope the present members will be ma- ture enough to overcome this obstacle. The point about the lack of student support will cure itself once we begin operating and get- ting results. I would also like to offer the following points of information. 1. The name of our school will be put up within weeks on the front facade. 2. The furnishing of the Student Lounge was done under beautification. The initial cost and repair due to the carelessness of students now totals about $1300. 3. In connection with the suggestion that projects be put on class levels, it has been suggested that the Seniors pay for the name of the school or a Senior gift. Wheth- er or not they will remains to be seen. In closing, I would congratulate the stu- dent body on its response and eagerness to make Miege the best. We are now moving toward our one goal. The credit is yours. You, each and everyone, build this spirit and pride by supporting our school and its leaders in our every activity. Terry Alley Little Things Valley Forge. It doesn’t come through to us because patriotism now affects us in a dif- ferent way. Eighteenth and nineteenth cen- tury patriotism is most certainly out of date. But twentieth century patriotism is not and cannot be out of date. Patriotism is little things. Patriotism is joining People-to-People. Patriotism is trying to find out about the people who run the country. Patriotism is studying for government when there isn’t a quiz. It is staying awake when the Intolerable Acts are being discus- sed. Patriotism is realizing what the pledge of allegiance really means. Patriotism is realizing what our freedom means. - 122 - Why Not Before And Once Again Beautification , your article on beautification, was excellent. As an ex-chairman of the beautification com- mittee I am in a position to appreciate fully the special problems encountered. First, a lack of interest on the part of the student body. If this committee were allowed to work directly with each of the classes, this problem could be resolved. Second, a dis- continuity between the school years. Few committees are required to leave detailed reports of the year’s activities. Should a re- port be required, this year’s beautification committee could take up where the last year's stopped; instead of being forced to start at the very beginning. And thirdly, the cumbersome machinery of Student Congress. The Congress is responsible to the whole school for its action. It is well aware of this fact and usually proceeds cautiously and slowly in matters involving such a great amount of money. If this com- mittee, while working with the Student Congress, could be responsible only to each of the respective classes; then the student body itself would accept the responsibility of accepting or rejecting plans. If these proposals are accepted, it would appear that finally beautification will ma- terialize this year. Our Congress officers can learn by previous mistakes.

Artmaster Yearbooks. Inc.; Moderator: Mrs. Schudy; The MIEGIAN — October 23, 1964. And Once Again Homecoming—that heart-warm- ing, ambiguous, indefinable time of the year—is now upon us. Last week it exited only as glorified small talk, this week— everything, and next week? Next week, confirmed misgiv- ings for some; cherished memories for others. What is it about this event that produces such an equally distri- buted amount of cheer and cyni- cism in the student attitude? A few would attribute it to the arti- ficiality so prevalent in all the homecoming activities, particular- ly: 1. the forced attempt at school spirit; 2. the ridiculousness of the title (who's coming home?); 3. the lack of resemblance to the popular homecoming image, that of a special occasion. Other individuals would elabor- ate on the above three causes, be- lieving it to be the heart of the matter, while still others, feeling the situation has degenerated so far, would rather leave it accepted for what it is and just not talk about it. But the greater majority of the student body does not care, be- cause they themselves do not go. We, the editorial staff, offer a sincere, heart-felt apology to those who feel we might be ruining the questionable spirit of tonights events. However, we genuinely be- lieve that it is a situation that must be remedied, and remedied soon, if we are to maintain any fragment of the spirit that initiat- ed this event. The whole event is by no means insignificant inasmuch as the unit- ed accomplishments of last year’s homecoming gave promise of even- tual success. It’s as if the whole spirit of the student body retains the answer, but lacks the strength to express that answer, waiting only for the day when its physical parts—the students at large—will become ma- ture enough to consider, to chal- lenge, and to correct. What is your goal, Miege? Complacency—or improvement? As We See Jt In the months to come, this column will be available for student comment on the paper or any appropriate form of student life. The opinions voiced express only the opin- ions of the individual and not necessarily the opinion of the editorial staff. We welcome such comment. ★ ★ ★ The yearbook staff wishes to extend a heart-felt thank you to Mrs. Scofield who worked two weeks in combining the activity card pictures with the names. Because of her assistance, the job of the yearbook staff will be lessened considerably. ★ ★ ★ Congratulations should be given to John Skuban for placing first and Pam Brosky for receiving honorable mention in the Overland Park Art Fall Festival. Their winning en- tries may be seen outside the main office. ¥ ¥ ¥ It is coming to the surface now more than ever before that one of our problems concerning school spirit is the negative ap- proach and idea on school activities. W hat is the reason behind this? It is up to the stu- dent to answer this. The trouble is that no one realizes the harm caused by such a neg- ative attitude. Kach negative approach to a project brings school spirit dow n a notch. It we want our school to be full of spirit and pride, then how about thinking posi- tively. Nancy Kopek ★ ★ ★ At the senior class meeting, Fred Silady called for volunteers for the clean up com- mittee. Mike Judge was the only one who volunteered to chair this committee. We think such loyalty is commendable. ¥ ¥ ¥ The means for expressing the student at- titude will soon be placed in the cafeteria foyer in the form of a response box. Your student congress and editorial staff have now provided you with a substantial and practical way to present any comment that would contribute to the betterment of Miege. Don’t swallow your opinion - voice it - and voice it w here it can be heard. ★ ★ ★ Congratulations to Mike Finnerty, Mike Judge, Judi Landis, Pat F. Murphy, Leslie Rohr, and Fred Silady who received letters of commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Foundation as a result of the tests taken late last spring. - 123- Young American Panel Strives For Understanding Judy Cohen, Southwest, Don Fortin, Miege, Laura Kleeban, SME, Dwight Brown, Central, and Paul Smith, SME, prepare for the panel’s next appearance. What is it like? How does it feel to be a Jew, a Negro, a Catholic or a Protestant? How do their ideas differ, and why? These are some of the questions being asked and in part, at least, answered by a group of teenagers in an organization called “The Panel of Young Americans.” This panel, organized and run entirely by stu- dents, is an inter-faith, inter-racial panel thats purpose is to broaden understanding among the various races and religions that compose it. The panel consists of a Jew, a Negro, a Catholic, and a Protestant. Don Fortin, senior class vice-president, is Qct C “Would you. . Slam! Barely shaken by this rude dismissal the sixteen-year-old boy turned away and ambled on to the next door. The day was threaten- ingly overcast and his tired feet had carried him for what seemed miles without results. Clad in bluejeans and a shabby jacket, he had been working for hours; but his patience and his bright spirit kept him from giving up. It was a nice neigborhood — the kind where people should be more generous, thought the boy as he pressed his finger to the bell. “Would you like to. . We don’t want any.” His luck wasn't changing but his attitude was. Hope gave way to discouragement as the fog became a drizzle. The chilly wind blew right through him as he trudged on. The next house appeared to be a bright and cheerful haven. Raising his hand to knocjc, the boy hoped the people inside had the same attitude. “Would you please. ..” I’m sorry. Not today.” the Catholic panelist. The panel has appear ed before various groups of different denom- inations to discuss problems of race and re- ligion as they apply to teenagers. On Sep- tember 11 the panel spoke before the prin- cipals of greater Kansas City’s high schools. Don has this to say about his membership on the panel: “The main thing I’ve learned is that while we may differ in some respects, we’re all basically the same. If you can just forget your petty prejudices, you’ll find that some of the very people you were prejudiced against are some of the greatest guys you'll ever meet.” t, kid “But it’s only two dollars!” Get lost kid!” Thoroughly dejected he made his way back to the road. Plodding on through the cold rain, he decided to try just one more house before he quit. As he approached the door, he gathered one last spurt of enthu- siasm. His knock was answered immediately. Would you like to be a booster for the Miegian?” “Why, yes I’d be glad to. “I really appreciate this, thanks a lot. Dad!” • • • The preceeding story, while certainly in- dicative of the success of many of the stu- dents who tried for boosters and ads, is a good example of the effort and perseverance which they displayed. The yearbook staff wishes to thank the student body for all their hard work in obtaining the money needed to make the yearbook possible, and to promise them that the staff members will work just as hard as they did to make this year’s Miegian the best ever. Conformity In Uniformity Skirt lengths will be in the middle of the knee, sweaters will be worn with skirts and belts, and the layered look is in. This is the fashion forecast for the ’64-'65 season. But a new fashion trend is taking over Miege we call it the “bare look”; and it is quite dis- tinct from the Paris or New York fashion worlds. The main goal is to get away from the layered or bundled look. We strive for simplicity and COOL sophistication. In at- taining this goal, we will, as any fashion conscious girl, go to extremes, even to the extent of personal discomfort. At first, when the rule was announced that each girl was obliged to conform to a no-sweater rule, tempers flared and doubts as to the reason of enforcing this seemingly ridiculous rule were great. Some of the more practical girls reasoned that with the no-sweater policy, there would be a survival of the fittest.” Because of this splendid idea maybe a few of the weaker from the “weaker sex” might be eliminated thereby reducing the boy-girl ratio from three to five, to a more proportionate stand- ing of three to three which would increase chances for Homecoming and Prom dates. With this in mind, the stouthearted, high- ly motivated girls initiated the “bare look” at Miege, insisting that vests were the vogue and sweaters were strictly out. (After all, all sweaters do is keep you warm.) One girl was particularly panicked—she had spent all summer knitting various col- ored seaters for each day of the week, de- termined to be the best dressed. After the annduncement concerning sweaters was made, her resourceful classmates came to her rescue by unraveling the sweaters, and using the green, yellow, and grey strands knitted an official Meige weskit. She sighed in relief, knowing now she was in. Of course, all the girls are determined not to be in the number of the eliminated ones, (those who have been disposed of by some- thing known as the freezing sickness,’’ which even the 6,000 tiny cold capsules won't cure.) and are concentrating on new ideas for CWW, Concealed Warmth Weap- ons. Two new innovations in CWW are a modi- fied form of long, red underwear, or a mobile unit of a Vick’s steam vaporizer. If found with CWW, the girls are immediately sent into exile to the warmer climates of Outer Mongolia. One girl has escaped the CWW agent, is still in correct uniform, and is still alive. How did she do it? She has knitted her waist length hair into a muffler. - 124 - Office Notes Time-Savers So Sorry, Your Apple Seed Fell Off My Eyelid Demons, wtiches, apples, pumpkins, black cats, weird costumes, tricks and treats nor- mally compose the evening of fun called Halloween. But long ago, when our parents were chil- dren, this fearful” night was also the time for foretelling the future and interpreting the present. Take for instance the nice topic called love. Did you know that you can find out which boy or girl is the one for you by plac- ing an apple seed named for one of the two in question on each eyelid. The first seed to fall (remember it is named for a person) is not the one for you. Of course, if you have a teenie weenie inclination toward one, you can blink the other eye. By placing a nut on a grill in a fire you can tell the sincerity of your boy or girl friend. If the nut bums quietly and brightly, it indicates affection; if it cracks and jumps, “Me Won ” Cardinals 9, New York 5—the score of the opening game of the World Series. Most of us are at least somewhat interested in any World Series game, but Mary Ann Sadecki, Miege senior had more than a casual inter- est in this game's outcome. Her brother, Ray Sadecki, was the starting, and as it turned out, the winning pitcher of the contest. Ray Sadecki had the best season of his young major league career by reaching the cherished goal of all young pitchers, 20 vic- tories and, as a fitting climax, starting pit- cher of the opening game of the World Series. Mary Ann and her family were among the 30,000 fans in Busch stadium who cheered Ray and the Cardinals on to victory in the first World Series game in St. Louis since 1946. When asked how her family felt during the game. Mary Ann replied, “We were ner- vous in the beginning; but after he got them out in the first inning we calmed down, es- pecially after the Cardinals got those runs- and when Ray struck out Maris and Mantle, that was great.” “How did your father like the game?” “He was nervous, but he wouldn’t admit it. I had to hold his camera every time he lit a cigarette.” When asked how Ray felt after winning a World Series game against the Yankees and Whitey Ford, Mary Ann answered, “Oh, he was happy! He was happy Sunday when the Cardinals won the N.L. pennant, but he was really happy when they won the first game of the Series. But Ray kept saying to him- self, ‘Why didn't somebody tell me that Tresh hit high fast balls?’ ” it tells of unfaithfulness. There are even two methods of finding out who your future husband or wife will be. Throw a ball of yarn out of a window, holding on to one end of it. W’hile reciting the Pater Noster backwards, rewind the yarn. Supposedly, an apparition of your fu- ture spouse will appear. If one of your suit- ors is clever, he might be waiting for you to throw the yarn out and follow it back in as you rewind, tricking you into thinking that he is your love. Save the apple that you were going to give your teacher. If you eat it before a mir- ror, the image of your future husband or wife will occur. “Oh darling, I know you are meant for me. We are of the same religion, we have the same likes and education, and besides, your apple seed didn’t fall off my eyelid first.” Finally, when one tells you anything on Hal- loween, and shortly afterwards you have to sneeze, it is a true omen that what was said was true. But you must remember that there could be pepper hidden somewhere. The officers of the National Forensic- League are eager for anyone who is inter- ested in interscholastic speech and debate to join this non-academic club. The club is run on a merit system in which points are gain- ed by speaking at debates and speech tour- naments. Miege has received a chapter from the National Office of N.F.L. Mrs. Scofield lists these reminders for students in order to save time and energy. If a book is lost, check with the book store rather than with Mr. Frazer. The book store is open from 8:10 to 8:25 in the morning, and after school from 2:55 to 2:15. If purses, billfolds, or glasses are lost, they are turned into the office and may be claimed there. Pick up admit slips in the office if late for school any day; then go to the nurse’s of- fice for your attendance card. If you become ill during the day, go immediately to the nurses' office. Check into the office if you forget your lunch; your parents might have brought it And if you have lost your lunch, check with the cashier in the cafeteria. If you have forms to be filled out bring them to the office several days ahead of the time that you need them. If you wish an appointment with Father Sullivan, Father Blaufuss, Sister Raymond, or Mr. Byard leave your name in the office and you will be notified of the time for your appointment. Payments on any school account is to be taken to the office before first hour class. Receipts may be picked up after school in the office or they will be sent to your first hour class the next morning. Officers elected for this year are: Ken North, president; Don Fortin, vice-president; Nancy Kopek, secretary; Leslie Rohr, trea- surer. Interested students may become proba- tionary members by attending the Novem- ber 10 meeting. Ken North, NFL president, reviews trophies that debators have won during previous years. - 125 - NFL Sets Requirements Duchesne Singers To Entertain An assembly to be held October 30 will feature the Duchesne College Singers from the school of the same name in Omaha, Ne- braska. This all-girl choir consisting of be- tween forty and fifty members will be visit- ing various high schools in the Kansas City area on their fall concert tour. They have been very well received every- where they have sung. Farts of their forty minute concert have been made into a stero recording. The repetoire of the Duchesne College Singers consists of both classical and popular music. Congress Announces Citizen Award Winners Terry Alley, Student Congress President, presented three seniors and one junior with citizenship awards at the beginning of the assembly held on October 6. The students are: Dennis Harris, senior, for his outstanding sportsmanship; Carol Mura, senior, for her work on the school bulletin board; Rosalind Eckstrom, senior, for her work with Teen-Age Monitors; and Patty Dugan, junior, for her article on ju- venile delinquency which appeared in the Kansas City Star. The faculty gives the award to the stu- dents who help to better their community or school in any way. The award will help to determine which is the best class at the end of the year. Change In Exams This year all quarter tests will be given on one day instead of three con- secutive ones as has previously been the custom. October 29 is the first D (stand- ing for dead) Day of the 64-65 school term. Student Congress Elects Representatives The members of the 1964-1965 Student Congress were elected from the upper class- men homerooms on Friday, September 25.

In the course of his demonstration he not only lighted fires, but sprayed, covered, smothered, and wrap- ped fires. He discussed the chemistry of fire, startling quite a few people by saying “that gas won’t bum. He chuckled and explained that only the vapors bum. The kitchen seemed to be his favorite sub- ject, “I don’t know whether I live to eat or eat to live.” He told of several cooking ac- cidents.

New Tests The FLUNCK Foundation for the Learn- ing and Utilization of Necessary Knowledge - TEST is designed for those students who have above average interest in their studies outside of the classroom. It includes such in- teresting and practical topics as the lyrics to cigarette jingles, engine statistics of the 1907 Hupmobile, and the feeding habits of the Tasmanian Treetoad. The HAT - Reading Aptitude Test - has been prepared for students who have un- usual reading abilities. Among the thing; tested will be the reading of labels on a re- volving phonograph records and a compre- hensive reading exercise from The Bobbsey Twins on the Farm. - 126- Senior Ranks In Upper One Percent Charles Weingart, senior, was named one of 10,000 semi-finalists who ranked in the upper 2 3 of 1% in the National Merit Scho- larship Qualifying Test. He will be required to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Examination Board in December to determine final eligibility for scholarships from $100.00 to $1500.00 for each year of undergraduate study. The winners of National Merit Scholar- ships are chosen by a selection committee composed of college admissions and second- ary school officials. In making their judg- ments, the committee members evaluate test scores, high school grades, evidences of crea- tivity, demonstrated qualities of leadership, extracurricular activities, school and com- munity citizenship, and other data made available by the student and his school. Charles Weingart ranks as a semi-finalist. N.H.S. Offers Tutoring Several services are being offered this year by the members of the National Honor Society in their quest to do something for the school.' 1. ) If a student asks for help in a difficult subject, a N.H.S. member will give him spe- cial tutoring after school. 2. ) The scholastic honor roll will be cal- culated by the Society in order to relieve the office help. Accuracy will be their aim in this endeavor. 3. ) A cultural bulletin board will be placed in front of the office and this same informa- tion will be announced during the lunch periods. 4. ) An old book drive will be held for the Latin American missions. Students are en- couraged to bring outdated textbooks along with novels. 5. ) The National Honor Society will work along with the Community Service Com- mittee of the Student Congress in all of their attempts. Miege To Host Teachers’ Institute Two free days, November 12 and 13, is what the teachers institute may mean to many students. But for teachers from all Catholic schools in the archdiocese these two days mean being brought up to date with the latest advances in teaching and learning of new ways to improve quality in their schools. At the institute, which is held every two years, leading educational authorities from all parts of the country will speak and the chorus from Miege will sing. Exhibits of new developments in teaching will cover the gym floor. On the elementary level, religion and reading will be stressed. The keynote address at the opening ses- sion will be delivered by the Very Reverend Paul Reinert S. J., president of St. Louis University. Other important speakers include Dr. Ray Pornell, C. P. A., Head of the De- partment of Accounting at the University of Notre Dame; Mr. William J. Reedy, religion editor and director of catechetics for Sad- lier and Co., who is also nationally known for his work with the Confraternity of Chris tian Doctrine; and Mr. Victor DiFlippo, di- rector of the National Council on Physical Education. The chief speaker on the high school level will be Reverend Edmund W. Olley, executive director of the National Catholic Guidance Conference, from Keno- sha, Wisconsin. Patriotism To Be Theme Of Assembly On Monday, October 26 during second hour, an all school assembly on patriotisn will be held in the gym. This assembly will introduce “Patriotism Week,” according to Student Congress plans. The program spon- sored by the Student Congress, will include a skit on the subject of patriotism. The formal installation and awarding of Student Congress pins to the newly elected class officers and representatives will be held also at this time. This induction ceremony initiates a new tradition at Miege. Stags Attend Conference At the Regional Student Council Confer- ence held at Lawrence High School on Sep- tember 26, Miege was represented by twelve delegates and Sister Martina, Student Con- grss moderator. The representatives heard Mr. Robert Lux, Executive Secretary.of Iowa Association of Student Councils, make the following suggestions to achieve a more effective student government: The use of Parliamentary Procedure at all times will make the meetings more effi- cient and better understood. Projects should be not only to raise money or just for the sake of having them, but to accomplish a higher goal. Instead of con- centrating on money making projects, the council should focus attention on student in- terest and spirit. Among the ideas presented were these two suggestions, which would encourage school spirit and pride, and would also be en- joyable. A huge spirit jug is passed around at games; and at specific times, the cheer leaders uncork the spirit jug and enthu- siasm runs wild. Another idea, which is de- signed to solve dress problems, is to place a large mirror in the front hall, above which is written, Do I look my best? and let the students judge for themselves. • • • Shawnee Mission East will sponsor an all- city Student Council Workshop November 14, for fifty area schools. Zest Zidbits Boys interested in taking the R.O.T.C. test must register by November 20, to be eligible to take the test on December 12. All senior girls are eligible for the Betty Crocker Scholarship Test that will be given on December 1st here at Miege. The Differential Apptitude Test given an- nually to freshmen will be given in a new way this year. Half of the class will take the standard test and half will take a new test based generally on the old one. Freshmen, as well as the rest of the students, are urged to watch The Miegian for further test infor- mation. Band Members To Get Credit Any student who participates in the school band will receive one half credit in fine arts which is necessary for admittance to many colleges, according to Father Sul livan, principal. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 2:00 to 4:00, Mr. Ruth, of the Ruth Music Shop will give the band instructions in the Music room. Students interested in joining should con- tact Judy Zomparelli, junior, by October 30. Sisters Go To Camp On October 3, Sister Baptista and Sister Colette were at Camp Naish where the Kaw Council of the Boy Scouts of America spon- sored its annual Sister's Day. The Sisters spent the day performing some Scouting skills such as building flint and steel fires and cooking out over open fires. They were also able to test their ability at archery and trap shooting. Joe and John Redlinger and Jim Noon assisted with the events of the day. - 127- Stags nail Hawklet for loss. Mike Hartzell and Ron Theis. What Ever Happened Zo Zhe Big Brown Moose ? Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle. The moose ran away with the game. The little hawks cried to see such sport. And all the birds were tame. Naturally, all you avid sports fans recog- nize this refrain from that ever popular epic locker room chant sung by that new group, the Sadistic Seven. The history of this great ballad began one very cold night that no bird should have been out (especially a Hawk). It seems that some school's team had constructed a big brown moose, paraded it around the field, and during the game scorn- ed it and what it represented. But during the half time, it suddenly got up and disap peared. What a pity! Well, to get back to the history, the real moose stomped those foul fowls with a score of 14-0. Cross Country VICTORY TO MIEGE 10 Miege's Cross Country team scored its first victory of the season on the rugged Turner Course against Turner and Argen- tine. Leading the Stags to victory was sen- ior, Greg Wilson, first place winner with a time of 10:52. Junior John Fleskes finished third with 11:25, with senior Mike Kelly finishing fifth with an 11:47. Score: M-27 T-47 A-48 HARRIERS DROP FIRST After two consecutive overwhelming vic- tories, the Miege cross country team drop ped its first meet to Rosedale in a closely contested battle for position and time. Greg Stags Wallop Mustangs The Stags made it six straight over the Mustangs of Argentine as they defeated them 14-6 on the losers’ field. Following a 99-yard Mustang jaunt, Miege came back to score twice on long sustained drives. The drives featured a solid ground attack led by quarterback Dennis Harris and fullback Dan West. Harris collected over 100 yards rush- ing for the night, while West scored both touchdowns along with an extra point. This evened the season record at one win and one loss. Titans Top Stags Miege fell to its first defeat of the season, Saturday September 19, at the hands of the top-rated De La Salle 18-0. The Titans two extra weeks of practice and foregoing game was quite evidently the deciding factor of the game. The Stags scored in the fourth quarter on a 20-yard pass from quarterback Dennis Harris to end Paul Flavin, but it was nullified by an illegal man down field. Team Scores Wilson finished second only to Terry Taylor of Argentine. Score: M-34 R-31 A 49 MIEGE SWEEPS MEET The Miege Cross Country team overpow- ered the Argentine team in a dual meet at Swope Park. Senior captain Greg Wilson took first with a time of 11:07. John Fleskes finished second and Mike Kelly finished a close fourth. To show the extent of the vic- tory, the Miege team placed six in the top eight winning positions. Score: M-19 A-39 Stags Blank Hawklets Behind the stalwart efforts of an impene- trable defense and an unstoppable offense, the Stags whipped the Rockhurst Hawklets 14-0 on the Hawklets newly dedicated field October 9. The Stags began their romp early in the first quarter and didn't stop until the game had ended with a definite Miege victory. The Stags’ first touchdown came the first time they received the ball as Miege march- ed 43 yards to paydirt with Dan West going in for the score and later the extra point. The second touchdown came later in the third quarter with quarterback Harris con- necting with back Terry Alley on a 53 yard pass play. Harris added the extra point. Due to the outstanding offense led by Ron Theis, Dick Wall, Bob Numrich, Mike Mance, Dan West, and Jim Chrzanowski, Miege totaled nearly 300 yards total rush- ing while Rockhurst barely made 55 yards. Stags Top Warriors Relying on the powerful running of full- back Dan West and the pinpoint accuracy of quarterback Dennis Harris, the Stags won a closely contested battle with St. Pius 20- 18 at Northtown Field October 2. The Sta once again utilized their ball control methods to grind out their victory; and, when all else failed, the Stags bulleted forward with quarterback Harris passing to end Paul Fla- vin for valuable yardage. However, in the third quarter with Miege leading 20-6 St. Pius suddenly rallied to 20- 18. Had it not been for a persistent defense the Warriors could have won. Outstanding players on offense in the game were Dennis Harris, Dan West, and Paul Flavin. Outstanding defense playera were Ron Theis, Bob Numrich, and Jim Chrzanowski. % M Dan West gets paydirt during Argentine game. - 128 - Teachers 'Apple’ Of Students’ Eye “An apple for the teacher” opened the Teacher Appreciation Week, a project spon- sored by Student Congress, which ran from November 16-20. As the name implies, the purpose of this weeklong event was to give students the opportunity to show their ap- preciation for all the time and effort each teacher gives for his students. On each of the remaining days of the week, different projects were planned to the delight of teachers and students alike. Invitations were sent on Tuesday to all faculty members and their families, inviting them to a social evening in their honor on Friday night. On Wednesday, each teacher found flowers on his desk. Spiritual bou- quets, promising the offering of an all-school Mass to be said on December 4, for their benefit, were given to Miege instructors Thursday. Doughnuts and coffee were served to the faculty in the teachers' lounge on Friday. The social evening included activities which proved to be of interest to all, and of particular interest to the freshmen who were attending their first all-school activity. Entertainment offered that night included square dancing, polkas, card games, chess, hobby exhibits, an informal hootenanny, and a song fest led by Sister Marie Therese. At 9:30 pm these activities were concluded and refreshments and a sock hop followed. Congress Committees Active Under the jurisdiction of Student Con- gress, the Community Service and the Stu- dent Exchange Committee have undertaken a multitude of far-reaching programs to im- prove the community image of Miege. Approximately 180 students have partici- pated in 13 projects under the Service Com- mittee’s direction. Among the endeavors undertaken, the more noteworthy include visiting orphanages, community homes, homes for the elderly, aiding in the cam- paigns, providing babysitters for the voters, and promoting general service projects. One of their major projects dealt with a five-day chapel vigil held for Ed Chalk. The Juniors Lead Stags With an estimated aim of $3,500, the Miegian ad campaign surpassed the original goal by more than $1,600 dollars, thereby achieveing the most effective campaign in Miege history. The Junior Class led the campaign by bringing in 174 per cent, $1,803. The seniors placed a close second with 165 per cent, $1,614. The sophomores also exceeded their goal by obtaining $1,210 worth of ads, or 106 per cent. In their first year of ad cam- paigning, the freshmen brought in 42 per cent, $476. Although the chief motive for the cam- paign was to raise a sufficient amount of money to finance the 1964 yearbook, also of importance was the earning of class partici- pation points and the right to a free day for the winning class. By winning, juniors have also earned the honor of choosing the year- book queen. The winning homeroom with the highest percentage per person was Jim McGinley’s senior homeroom. The top homerooms from the junior, sophomore, and freshmen classes, respectively, are: John Cain’s, Danny Lynn’s, and Jane Dewees’. The successs of this ad campaign was due in a great part to Leslie Rohr, publicity man- ager for the Miegian yearbook and news- paper, and Sister De Lourdes, who helped in the ad campaign by directing all business transactions and promoting and publicizing this campaign. Leslie also contributed to this drive by being top salesman in the en- tire school. committee will send Ed a spiritual bouquet representing 100 hours of prayer and six stu- dent rosaries. Students interested on working with this committee are urged to contact Doug Irmen, chairman. The Student Exchange Committee, in the interests of establishing an area-wide stu- dent exchange program, sponsored a caucus on October 25, here at Miege. The purpose of the caucus was to form a steering com- mittee, composed of students from all the Northeast Johnson County schools, that would spearhead the student exchange into effect. Participating schools in the newly-formed steering committee are Bishop Miege, Shaw- nee Mission East, Shawnee Mission West, and St. Joseph-Shawnee. An actual exchange of members will be executed among these schools on December 10; the purpose of this minor exchange will be to test the mechanics of the exchange system prior to the overall student exchange among all the Kansas City area schools. Seniors Plan Pizza Party Tonight at 7:30 P.M. the Senior Class will sponsor a Pizza Ball. This unusual activity will consist of an intra-squad basketball game, a pizza party in the cafeteria, and a record-mixer in the gym. Mr. Schmiedeler, varsity basketball coach, has prepared a preview of the season’s stars to be shown at the basketball game. The Miege pep band will make an appearance during half time activities. At 8:30 pm several different kinds of pizza and coke will be served in the cafeteria. The pizza will be catered, and then sold by the senior girls. From nine until ten o’clock, records will be played in the gym for danc- ing. - 129 - Why Hinder Democracy? Although the first Congress meeting proved to be a totally unorthodox and ineffectual meeting, this did not set precedent for the following ones. But we are still wondering why democracy takes so long or, to be more specific, why does a typical Congress meeting take an hour and a half? We realize that any organization such as Congress is responsible to too many people just to speed bills through Congress and into effect without thought- ful and sober consideration. We also realize Congress must be as fair and as objective as possible in dealing with these bills and that the only way of achieving this objectivity is parliamentary procedure. Although necessary, this system slows down and impersonalizes any meeting. But parliamentary procedure is not, by far, the chief and only reason for these meetings being slow. It is rather the group, faction, or whatever- else it is called who have nothing to discuss concerning an issue but do have a lot to “say” and insist upon saying it. This group invariably speaks out on an issue they have absolutely no knowledge, of, or they question every- thing. This is the real villain of the Congress meetings. These three stu- dents may be well meaning, but the dissension and confusion of issues that they cause is not only immature but potentially harmful. Students A school bell sounds over the din of con- versation. The students rise to begin class with a prayer and a salute to the flag. Two boys salute the flag with mock patriotism. Several more talk and joke through both the prayer and salute. Many students mum- ble the words gazing out the window or star- ing at the floor. The class sits down again, books are opened, another day begins. But one mind has recorded the indiffer- ence and the lack of respect the students showed for their country’s flag. A student from another country watches and remem- bers. He is here to see for himself how Amer- icans live and, especially, to view the lives of America’s young people. His American ex- periences, together with the people he meets, will be the gauge by which he judges Amer- ica. This is the scene throughout hundreds of high schools, colleges, and universities this fall as thousands of foreign students come to live and study in America. After a year or two of study, these students will return to their homelands where they will be impor- tant factors in projecting America’s national image. Observe How will these young Europeans, Asians, and Africans judge the United States? Will they bring home a picture of America’s faults, such as racial prejudices, cynicism and materialism? If this is the dominant view of America they see through us, their fellow American students, then, of course, this will be their image of the whole United States. We have a duty to show these stu- dents that we are not hypocrites when we say “with liberty and justice for all.” A genuine interest in them as individual persons must be substituted for indifference. We must show them that the hoarding of material things is not our chief goal in life. A delusion common to some Americans is that all foreigners come from backward, and rather uncivilized countries. It is our job, and again our duty, to correct this unfor- tunate view. We must let the foreign stu- dent know that we consider both him and his country important as all nations join to make the world a place for all men. By Pat Nee - Editor of the Rampage - Hogan high school. Rotation This year it was announced that each class would be given a certain area of the “campus” to clean up and improve, in ac- cordance with the beautification ideas. After a year in one area, the class would be assign- ed another area, in other words, a rotating process by which a class will have been assigned all four areas by the end of senior year. Using this method, there will be absolutely no incentive for a class to put money and hard work into an area which will eventual- ly be given to the next class. Last year, when assigned the area between the cafeteria and library, the ’63-’64 sopho- more class generated quite a bit of enthu- siasm for this project and went to work im- proving this area. Trees and bushes were purchased and planted, and it was not rare to see the sophomore class president himself out mowing the lawn in this area. With this beginning, it was decided to continue a poli- cy of annually adding something which would improve the area in some way. Now, this class has been assigned a new area and all ideas and projects have been abandoned, because the area once proudly considered “our area has been given to another class, and it is necessary to begin all over again. Because of the rotating process, all spirit and enthusiasm has been plowed under. Where once at least a part of our school would be considered outstanding now it seems there will be complete mediocrity. Suzy Linton In Thanksgiving Besides its primary purpose of expressing gratitude toward God, Thanksgiving is known for its traditional value. It symbolizes a re-enactment of our forefathers first Thanksgiving. But this ritual or re-enact- ment is only the superficial side of this holi- day, and it remains the same. The events pre- ceding this feast determine the color and the spirit of this holiday. Last year, three days before this Thanks- giving, the nation witnessed the burial of an assassinated president. But this year’s Thanksgiving will be influenced by entirely different and more cheerful circumstances. Here at Miege we have seen the actual beginning of a project initiated five years ago, the foundation of a school band, and an ad campaign which went $1,500 over its goal. These things are what make up spirit of 1964 Miege Thanksgiving.

It was only with the advent of the seventh year, however, that substantial means and methods were developed to exploit certain community needs that tend to create a cooperative attitude. With this as their guiding de- sire, this year’s Congress, the sev- enth year Congress, has provided a practical program that will offer the students a responsible and important position in the projec- tion of Miege’s image. Through the establishment of a Service Committee that will carry the spirit of Miege to the sick, the infirm, the neglected, and the poor, and through the construction of a Student Exchange Committee that will export to other schools the way of Miege, and import their way and their students here, this year’s Congress has provided to the individual student an unpre- cedented opportunity to simul- taneously promote both a better image and a better understanding. Perhaps not every student has the time or ability to visit the sick or infirm, and regretably, not every student can be sent to re- present Miege at another school. But all of us can contribute to the success of these committees by promoting their purposes and sup- porting their functions. Through the endeavors of Con- gress and a few dedicated individ- uals, those goals have been set, and these programs initiated. Js We See Jt The maturity of the student body is par- ticularly evident in their behavior at the two assemblies. Patriotism and the Duchesne Singers. This is noticeably obvious consider- ing the formality of the two. Absent was the giggling and snickering many expected at such assemblies. ¥ ¥ ¥ The establishment of an Election Com- mittee that would both count and post the returns of any student election may result in a few hurt feelings. But such a committee would eliminate many of the rumors and doubts found in past elections. ¥ ¥ ¥ Katy Brown, Joe Bremser, Leslie Rohr, Sister De Lourdes, and the entire yearbook staff would like to thank the student body for an outstanding” campaign. ¥ ¥ ¥ Dear Editors, Your article “And Once Again - Home- coming in the October issue was an unjust and cruel evaluation of Miege’s Homecoming and of Miege students. This year’s Home- coming was completely contrary to every- thing you said it would be. There was no artificiality in any of the Homecoming activities. No student was forced to attend, yet many were present for every activity. You mentioned a forced attempt at school spirit. The interest and enthusiasm display- ed throughout the weekend was real school spirit, and even more, there was no at- tempt made towards achieving it. You asked Who’s coming home? There were many alumni present at both the game and dance, and as a part of Miege they wel- comed a chance to show their interest in it. One could easily see the weeks of extensive planning and preparation that went into making this Homecoming what it was. It was not unorganized. The committees that planned the Homecoming put in a lot of work to make it successful. The decorations at the dance, the junior class float, and the assembly all give credit to their work. But it was the students themselves who made this year’s Homecoming what it was. They were yelling at the bonfire, laughing at the assembly, cheering at the game and smiling during the dance. They made this year's Homecoming a special occasion and one to be remembered. It is not fair to judge this year’s Miegians by last year’s or any previous years’. You must give each student body a chance to - 131 - But the time is past when Con- gress and a few dedicated individ- uals can fulfill the obligations of the whole school. Each and every one of us must answer this challenge through col- lective contribution and collective support. We cannot improve the image of Miege until the spirit of Miege, the student body, accepts the need for this improvement. There is no room in this school for the apathetic, the cynical or the nonchalant. There is room only for the constructive, the contribu- ting, and the progressive. United in purpose and united in function, these projects can and will suc- ceed, and the challenge of the sev- enth year will be conquered. prove itself. This year they have not failed. One Who Went Editor’s Note: The above student’s letter has several points well taken. This years Homecoming was a noticeable improvement over other Homecomings in some respects. However, we would point out that the Homecoming editorial did not refer to the ’64 Homecoming specifically, but to the overall Homecoming tradition at Miege; nor did we present an “unjust and cruel evalua- tion.” The enumerations considering the forced attempt at school spirit; the ridiculousness of the title; and the lack of resemblance to the popular Homecoming image were based on past Homecomings, but in many cases, they applied to this year’s also. The editorial raised the question What is it about this event that produces such an equally distributed amount of cheer and cynicism in the student attitude?” Judging from the attendance at the Home- coming dance, the prominent part of this tradition, the distribution seemed to be in “cynicism’s favor.” Ask approximately 92 per cent of the sen- ior girls! Onto Macbeth (To be hansecl Dooms Day ’64 Guilty! Was Macbeth guilty in the slaying of Duncan the King or should the guilt rest on Lady Macbeth? This question was presented to Miss De- Graeves first, second, fourth, and sixth hour English classes in the form of a court trial. The trial was to determine the guiltier in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Lord or Lady Mac- beth. In first hour, Macbeth was portrayed by Judy Shaffer, Lady Macbeth by Chris Claeys. The lawyers were Mary Mulcahy and Jane Meier. Second hour, Mike Berry was Macbeth and Marcia Hunter was Lady Macbeth. Dave Hamam and Dan Ryan were the lawyers.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to con- sole, to be understood as to understand. Reduce— The Easy Way Challenging all girls! Do you have L.O.S. S.A.P.F.? According to Miss Hager, Miege girls have been overcome by this disease. It seems to originate mainly from idleness and disin- terest. If you want to help combat L.O.S.S.A.P.F., Lack of School Spirit and Physical Fitness, arm yourself with a pen and march down to the front office now. Sign up for Girls’ Intra- murals and put an end to L.O.S.S.A.P.F.! Fourth hour, the only hour in which Mac- beth was convicted. Bob Dalton played Mac- beth, and Georgetta Murphy was Lady Mac- beht.

The judges of the trials were Bill Dunn, Bob Hartnett, Ted Pantoja, and Tom Schumm. The jury, which consisted of the classes, based its decision solely on the testimony of the witnesses, not on the play itself. to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive.lt is in pardoning that we are pardoned. Why can I never help people or really care about people? All I do is reach out to grab something. But I can never reach any- body. I only get farther from myself and all I have ever wanted to be. It seems so far back to myself, sometimes, with so very much in between that I wonder if it takes a lifetime just to get back. And it is in dying. . .that we are born to eternal life.” It may sound strange, but I don’t think that it would take so very much courage to be a martyr. It might even be easy to die for something that is certain. It is living for something that is uncertain but always pres- sing, something that is always inviting but never answering, and something that is fil- ling but leaving only emptiness; that is what is truly difficult. If there were only some ideal or some for- mula prayer that would make this kind of martyrdom bearable — St. Francis always seemed so smug, he and his peace with God. I wish I had such peace! “You’ve got to hide it! Just for this week- end,” was a comment made by just one of the many bewildered students after sixth hour Thursday. November 5 was the day of doom; it meant days and nights of four walls and no dates. Surely one little slip of paper couldn’t cause all of that trouble, or could it? For this one little slip of paper contained five or six very persuasive letters, ranging from “A to “F”. Now, in all sincerity, wouldn’t you miss this dreadful day, every nine weeks, when report cards come out? The majority of stu- dents would, because most individuals await dooms day” with a certain amount of anx- iety. We strive for a grade and the anticipa- tion of receiving it is made, either to our ap- proval or disapproval, through our report card. We want to cast the spotlight behind the scene and give recognition to Sister Ray- mond and her small group of students who typed, punched and alphabetized the report cards. Along with several mothers, six sen- ior girls (Phyllis Alieksaites, Patty Di Mar- co, Jeanette Indelicato, Sandy Lenihan, Candy McLoughlin and Diane Monroe) gave up study halls and Saturdays to type 1,085 report cards. John Holtz punched the stu- dent cards according to their six different teachers. The report cards were punched for the purpose of separation. Sister Raymond, with the assistance of the key8orter, a small instrument which looks like an ice-pick, separated the cards according to teachers midway of every hour. This is a tedious task which requires ac- curacy, and it is a task well done by Sister Raymond and her assistants. Did you realize the time and effort that went into an everyday thing like your report card? Why, St. Francis, Why?” - 132 - Harvard, Yale, or Slipperyrock? Miege Girls Should I go to college? If I do, what col- lege should I choose? How can I get a scho- larship? These are three questions which seniors will ask in this year of decision and which all other students should keep in mind in their remaining years of high school. Whether or not to attend college is more or less up to the individual. The boys must think of military service and whether to take it after high school or after college. If the financial situation could be a deciding factor, the student should look into student loans, fellowships, and scholarships which are of- fered at most colleges. Some schools offer programs in which periods of work alternate with periods of schooling, to give students a chance to finance their own education. Fully accredited night schools are also offered which allow full-time employment and a col- lege education at the same time. Perhaps the most important factor in determining whe- ther or not to attend college is the student’s ability. The student himself knows this and should not kid himself if he is not prepared for college. Two years at a junior college could supply the student with needed sub- jects to prepare him to go on to college or to enable him to specialize in a particular field of learning. Another practical idea which may solve the problem is that of attending a vocational school. There are several in this area which offer excellent instruction in many fields of work. These should not be looked on as an insult or a disgrace since they pave the way for a beneficial and re- warding career. In choosing a college, many factors come into play which must be considered. One big factor is cost, since not all colleges cost the same. The school where you think you can get the best training in your field may be relatively expensive. The distance from home could be a big factor, as is the size of the school; certain personalities prefer a small school, others a large school. You may merely want a liberal arts college or a school which specializes in a particular field, or a university which encompasses many fields of learning. Another factor is admission stand- ards; these must be met by the individual before he expects to be admitted. Of course one big question that comes up about college concerns scholarships. In gen- eral, scholarships are of three types. The first is one offered by the school itself, and information can be obtained by writing to the Director of Admissions at the particular school. The second type is through one’s father’s place of employment. Many large companies offer scholarships to children of their employees. The third area, which is very broad, is outside sources. The American Legion publishes a booklet titled “Need A Lift?’’ which is very complete in listing these scholarships from outside sources. It can be obtained by enclosing 25 cents and writing to American Legion; Department S; Post Office Box 1055; Indianapolis, Indiana 46206. In conclusion, one should remember that this article has merely scratched the sur- face of the detailed and important subject of college. This school has furnished a gui- dance office designed to cope with the many questions and problems concerning college and vocations. Scandal Averted Would anybody here sew up my pants?’’ This rather unusual question was recently asked the members of the sewing class by Joe Dold, sophomore class president. Joe wanted some emergency repairs made on his jeans in time for a basketball game. Sister Marianne, clothing teacher, decided to let Joe sew them up himself. In the picture above, Sister gives him a few pointers on how to go about it.

Friends Friends are two souls that meet in smiles of love in laughter, sorrow, silence, joy and tears. They’re richness, fullness, life’s one hope above despair and pain that grow with growing years. They’re meaning when all has ceased to dream of sense, warmth when life is bitter, empty, cold. They bring a love that solves all problems dense and deep with the truth of caring • wisdom old. Though gentle love is friendship’s greatest crown, sometimes it’s wild and mad as an April day that sings and shouts and laughs the whole world down for bursting joy that can find no words to say. This blushing at its depth, and shyly wide of grin, this freed-whole lonely earths could friendship win. Diane Lusk “Mother died at five-fifty eight.’’ This is the story of seven children who de- cide to keep the death of their mother a secret, rather than be sent to an orphanage. They bury her in the garden among the lilies, and erect a tabernacle to her. They,then, de- cide that they must try to go on without her, and pretend to the outside world that she is ill and in her room. This masquerade lasts for a while until neighbors, teachers, and a nosy housekeeper begin making inquiries. The children begin quarreling among themselves, and another grave is added to the landscape. Then a tall stranger appears claiming to be the children’s father. This book, written by Julian Gloag in the tradition of The Lord of the Flies, keeps the reader’s attention from the first startling sentence until the chilling climax. This is the brilliant best-seller described by Time Magazine as a minor miracle. Leslie Rohr - 133 - Book Week Benefits Many Both the library staff and the National Honor Society spirited the student drive not only here at Miege but also in the under- privileged mission areas of Mexico t6 make National Book Week, November 18, bene- ficial to many. The library staff opened National Book Week at Miege with the display of the new reading material offered to the whole stu- dent body. Sister Juliana made available to the students pamphlets containing titles of books. The theme, Swing into Books, urged students to use the opportunities which the library offers. Also as part of this nation- wide activity, paperback books were on sale Wednesday, November 4, for the freshmen and sophomores, and on Thursday, Novem- Happy Thanksgiving Miegians Support Dold and L.B.J. Election results poured in as Miegians participated in both school and national elections. The freshmen have chosen as their 1964 officers: John Dold, president; Richard Cain, vice president; Barbara Carr, secretary; and Dave Perkins, treasurer. On the first Monday in November, Miege held a mock election for president and vice president of the United States. Democratic candidates. President Lyndon Johnson and Senator Hubert Humphrey, received 80 per cent of the 729 votes cast. Republicans, Sen- ator Barry Goldwater and his running mate, Representative William Miller, received 20 per cent, or 174 votes. The rules for voting were modeled after state and national elec- tion rules and were strictly followed. Freshmen First Honors: Jane DeWees, Diane Sayers.

The National Honor Society, under the di- rection of Sister Gerard, also participated in the book week with the class competition in a book drive for the missions of Mexico. NHS used the theme, “Let’s give just a little for the poor!” They collected old school text books, novels, and nonfiction. This gave the students an opportunity to be of service to those who would not have educational aids. Debate Success in Sight That nuclear weapons should be con- trolled by an international organization is the 1964 national debate topic which Miege debaters have been faced with in several tournaments this year. First on the agenda was a meet at Wash- ington High School, Bethel. Kansas, on Oc- tober 9-10. The second event on October 23-24 was a consolidated tournament for over 500 stu- dents, sponsored by the Shawnee Mission district, in which North, East, and West were the host schools. One team of exper- ienced debaters, consisting of Doug Irmen, Ken North, Diane Carr, and Nancy Kopek, attended a cross-exam debate at East. At the same time, Larry Viene, Kathy O’Con- nor, Don Fortin, and John Cain debated at West. Two teams of novice debaters, includ- ing: Ed Larkin, Chris Clayes, Barbara Yeado, John Rutherford, Tom Conry, Judi Landis. Pat Hildreth, and Diane Dorlac, gained ex- perience debating at North. Topeka Central hosted the third event Miegians attended, on November 21, for the experienced debaters, while novices partici- pated in the Seaman Rural meet. Ken North, president of National Forensic League, expressed the opinion, Since the novice debaters show such immense promise, and with so many experienced debaters re- turning, surely success is in view.

The first half of the game showed the Stags defense stopping the Wildcats offense cold. The Miege offense rolled 62 yards to the Topeka 3 where the ball was lost on downs. Hayden never threatened and didn’t penetrate into Stag territory. The second half really showed the differ- ence, however. In the fourth quarter the Hayden Wildcats recovered a Miege fumble on their 26 yard line and several plays later capitalized by gaining the touchdown which held for the rest of the game. Mike O’Shea’s fine running in the absense of regular back Dan West must be noted. So too the efforts of Dennis Harris and Dan De- Coursey. Ron Thies, Bob Numerich and the entire defensive platoon should be seen for their fine defensive action. Dan Garner gains valuable yardage in Lil- lis game. Bears Spring Back William Chrisman trailing 14-6 at the end of three periods sprang to life to score 27 points in the final stanza to overcome Miege 33-14 at Ward field. Along with gaining their first victory, the Bears also ruined the Stag homecoming festivities. Miege’s first score came on a 4 yard run by Dennis Harris and was set up by a 40 yard pass play from Harris to Dan DeCour- sey. The Stags second score capped a 60 yard drive with fullback Dan West scoring from the three yard line. Extra points were scored by West and Harris. Chrisman’s final 27 points came on pass plays of 37 and 18 yards, a 33 yard pass in- terception, and a 50 yard run by John Yates. Reserve quarterback Mike Welsh rolls for protection during Lillis game. Irish Maul Stags Clem Talley, lightning fast halfback, scored at will as the Shamrocks of Lillis crushed the Stags 45-0 at O'Hara stadium. Talley sparked the Irish offense with four touchdowns on runs of 20 and 4 yards, a 10 yard pass, and a 35 yard pass interception. The Lillis defense was equally as strong holding the Stags scoreless. Miege hampered by the absense of senior quarterback Dennis Harris never started a sustained drive or serious threat. The Stags also encountered numerous fumbles and had several aerials intercepted. The only bright spot of the night was the defensive play of Bob Hrzenak. Fourth Quarter Sparks ’Cats Over Stags A hard-hitting Miege defense failed to pre- vent Rosedale from scoring, as they drove home a 14-0 lead over Bishop Miege. October 30, on the Rosedale field. A pass interception by Howard McCall midway through the first half brought Miege the promise of an early lead as they marched deep into Wildcat territory. The heavy Rose- dale line held the penetration, however, and maintained control of the game after forcing Miege to a safety in the second half. Miege’s defensive regulars restricted Rose- dale to long passes and no connections. How- ever, late in the third quarter they found their range and connected for two precious touchdowns and giving them a 14-0 lead. Mike Mance, senior middle guard, led the Stags defensive line with a total of sixteen tackles and assists, followed closely by Bob Numerich. Dick Wall, Jim Chrzanowski. and Ron Thies. On the offensive side of the game, credit should be given to Dan West and Dennis Harris for their fine efforts through the game. Frosh '25’ Post Winning Season The freshmen football squad encountered their first taste of high school competition this fall. In their first game of the season, they fell to the hands of De La Salle. The game was evenly played thru the first half and found the Stags trailing 18-12 at the halftime. The Titans picked up a quick score in the third period and then held off a late score in the third period and then held off a late Miege surge to secure their 24-19 victory. In their second seasonal contest, the Frosh fought the Ward Cyclones to a 6-6 tie at ward field. After a scoreless first half, the Cyclones took the second half kick off and marched back for a touchdown. Trailing 6-0, the Stags capped a long drive with a pass play which covered 40 yards. The game- winning extra point failed, and the game ended in a deadlock. On the brighter side, the Frosh came out victorious over the Hawklets of Rockhurst 20-0 in a game which featured the running ability of halfback Rich Cain, who sparked the offense with scoring jaunts of 45 and 55 yards. In all, both Coach O’Connell and Coach Reardon felt the season was a prosperous one and that they have some solid varsity prospects, even though their record was 4-3-1.

Barry Goldwater barely lost the election to the presidency by a margin of 61% of the popular vote to 38%, the quart- er grades were issued, posted (and natural consequences sush as grounding followed), and the football team decided to leave its favorite pet to the basketball squad. The first two comments are self explana- tory; however, the third is one of the many little known facets of the sports activities here at Miege. It seems that this years football team, be- ing of the type that likes to set tradition, decided to the following teams and future teams something to remember it by. It’s called staph by the people, but the football team amiably calls it the “coaching disease which could be easily seen when the purpose of this little green plant is known. The coach- es, it has been learned, introduced the plant Intrasquad Game Shows Potentials The Freshmen Blue fell to the Sophomore Red in a well-played intrasquad game No- vember 6 by a score of 15-0. For all but the latter part of the first half the Freshmen Blue dominated the scene, driving to the Red 25 yard line where Jim Gendron inter- cepted a pass. The Sophomore Red promptly drove back across the field to the Blue 30 where the half ended. The second half began with the Red re- Bob Clifford, sophomore quarterback, rounds corner for yardage in Intersquad game. into the locker room in an attempt to take the players minds off the aches and pains of practice and put them in the jovial mood of agony, such as that of poison ivy. But there was a second purpose hidden in the devious minds of the coaches. If the team plays an- other team and wins, then the other team will be infected and therefore have a natural respect of the Miege “carriers.” On the other hand, if the team loses, then the other team will get infected anyway out of pure and simple spite. If the current trend continues, the entire athletic program of all the schools in the area will have to cope with “the Stag’s Great Experiment.” Oh yes! We can't forget the cross-country team (at least I can’t). They should be con- gratulated on their perfect football season (0-9). I am sure that all the students and faculty, and especially the track coach ap- preciate what they have done. Freshmen defense tightens to slow sopho- more back Mike Mercer. Intrasquad Game (cont.) ceiving the kick and in a quick series of plays working up to the Blue 3 yard line where the Blue took over only to be pushed for a touch-back. The Red received the kick and marched back to the Blue five where they again ran out of downs. Two plays later the Sophomores recovered a fumble and promptly scored. In the closing seconds of the game Mike Mercer received a pass and went in for the Sophomores second touchdown. Mike Mercer ran for extra points. (Wamago, Kansas—Nov. 7) Today Miege’s lone entry, Greg Wilson, placed eleventh in the State Cross-Country Meet held here at Wamago. He crossed the finish line with a time of 9:56. The individual winner of the entire meet was Wichita East’s Olympic Games entry, Jim Ryun, who broke the tape with a blaz- ing time of 9:08 breaking the track-course record and bettering his own state record. An interesting note attached to Ryun’s victory and Wilson’s high scoring was that Olympic gold medal winner in the 10,000 meters, Bill Mills, won the same meet in 1956 with a time of 10:03. Now comparing his time then and the times recorded today, he would at best have placed seventeenth in the entire meet. Greg Wilson begins to pass Rosedale run- ner in triangular meet at Turner. Tip-Off Time The Stag basketball squad will open the season on December 4, at Argentine, followed by a home game the next night with the Rockhurst Hawklets. Highlights of the sche- dule include playing De La Salle and Rock- hurst each two games and participating in the Lee’s Summit Tournament during the Christmas holidays. Dan Watkins, only returning varsity per- former, will combine with new squad mem- bers to man the “Alley Cat Press” defense. Early practice sessions indicate that Bob Nemeth, Terry Pyle, Mike Rhoades, Gerry Gleis8ner, Frank Martin, Chris Ripper, Mike Doeren, and Joe Dold will be among the leading candidates for varsity jobs. The annual inter-squad game will be played on November 27. This game will give students their first chance to watch the Stags in action. - 136 - VOLUME 7 ISSUE 4 DECEMBER 22, 1964 Unity-Purpose of Rivalry One of the primary goals of this year’s Student Congress has been to increase school spirit and school pride by promoting various programs and activities designed to carry out that end. Because we felt that school spirit begins with class spirit, a class point system was adopted to guage each class’s progress over the year. The mechanics of this project are simple: There are nine major areas in which each class can score. The person in charge of each individual activity, say, Community Service or Student Lounge, will submit a report to the Congress Secretary either monthly, or at the end of the event if it is not a year-long project. . The class doing the best job in each contest will receive four points, the second highest class will receive three points, and so on. A running count of each class’s total will be kept throughout the year, and at the Awards assembly in May the class with the most points will be proclaimed to be the best all-around class. The reason for the class point system is to build school spirit indirectly by having the four classes compete with one another. It is not intended to separate the school into four power hungry groups who are only interested in their own welfare. Just as increased competition brings out the best in a football player or in a debator, so also do we hope that competition at Miege will bring out the best in its students. Doug Irmen In Retrospect . . . On Cover Now, when Jesus was born in Beth- lehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold Magi came from the East to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East and have come to worship him.” Matt 2:1—3 And behold the star that they had seen in the East went before them, un- til it came and stood over the place where the child was. And when they saw the star they rejoiced exceedingly and they entered the house, they found the child with Mary, his mother, and falling down they worshipped him. Matthew 2: 9—12 The cover portrait presents the three crowns, not the crown of the Magi, in particular, but crowns representing the different sources of authority-one from spirituality, one from wealth, and one from justice. The crown of the pope, a mediaeval king, and a modern day rul- er. But these kings, just as the Magi, Find the Blessed Infant also. (The cover drawn by senior, Carol Mura). Four months ago, this space carried in the first edition of this year’s Miegian, an edi- torial outlining the purposes and policies of the editorial staff. Within this space we dictated our creed, what we believe is the creed of all journa- lists, novice or otherwise. We guaranteed the student that we would do everything in our power to assure him of a concise, objective understanding of any- thing that affects the life of Miege. Perhaps it would be well now if we turned slightly, and cast a backward glance on our evaluations and their results. Initially, we challenged the student body to get behind that committee relic referred to as Beautification and push it into effect. The Student Congress accepted the chal- lenge and brought some of its major pro- grams to reality. Secondly, we challenged the Homecoming tradition. This year marked a definite improvement in its course- but Miege is capable of more than just improvement. It should be capable of achieving near per- fection in these endeavors. Obviously, the success of a Homecoming can be somewhat subjective. We realize that there are many facets under this program to be considered, but very definitely the scoreboard does not de- termine its success. We think, however, as it is popularly conceded, that the dance should be a determining gauge in measuring its success. And at the Homecoming dance, there was at best a mere third of the student body represented. Possibly the Royalty felt it was a success —they were certainly in an advantageous position to evaluate it. Perhaps the students attending felt it was a success—they also were priviledged to view its overall effect. And we ourselves felt the dance was, in itself, a success. But as we emphasized in the editorial, and as we reemphasize and reiterate now, an affair where only one third of the stu- dent body is represented is a very limited success. Finally, the editorial in the November edi- tion is probably too recent to appraise. But we would pause for a moment on the editorial title (Challenge) and turning that backward glance to forward thoughts, and future traditions: we can’t help but feel that this Challenge has been considerably an- swered. You can hear that answer as the Pep Club drowns an athletic defeat in cheers of con- fidence well-placed, and cries of future vic- tory. You’ll find that answer written on the contracts of an Ad Campaign that will chal- lenge future students for a long time to come. You'll find that challenge cast on the faces of Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior, alike as they sacrifice time and finance to support committee projects that go far be- yond the scope of normal committees. And we would sincerely hope that you find that answer in an editorial staff that places a tremendous amount of faith, confi- dence, and gratitude in a student Body that will never be surpassed.

Fifty dollars worth of coins was stolen at a school sponsored activ- ity night one month ago. As of now they have not been returned. An offense so open is bound to cause quite a controversy. Some believe this is merely an isolated and rare incident of something Miege is unaccustomed to; but many, just as we, believe that this is an example, extreme of course, of a nearly common occurrence at Miege - dishonesty. In the last month eleven books were reported missing (among these a religion book). These books were left in classrooms then never seen again. There is an untold number of cribbing and cheat sheets in the classrooms everyday. Students send away for reports. Locker spotchecks will not stop this book and purse thief and the “honor system” has not stopped a potential cribber, yet. Students are warned not to leave their books in places of temp- tation for such a thief and are warned to keep their hands over their test papers to guard against “wandering” eyes. This lack of honor seems not merely confined As everyone has noticed, there has been a big change in the Pep Club. The whole Pep Club has been moved up in the bal- cony, but the reason for this change has not been revealed. We were just told that’s where we were to sit from now on without any explanation. There could be many reasons for this change. For instance, the crowds at the games. The fact the games are crowded is very well-taken, but since it is the Pep Club who cheers for the boys, and the Pep Club who has to pay dues and pay for their Uni- forms, why can’t the people who bring their families sit in the balcony? The balcony has presented quite a prob- lem for the girls. It is very hard for the girls to see at the games because of the railing and because of the cheerleaders standing in to a few undesirables but has crept into the attitude of most of the student body. Morality seems based on “if he’s stupid enough to leave it there, then he deserves Js We See Jt front of them, but there is no other place for the cheerleaders to stand. The only way they can see is by sitting on the ledge, but they have been told they are not allowed to do this, (and even if they could one ledge would not take care of the whole Pep Club). Sitting in the balcony also presents quite a problem when the cheerleaders have to run downstairs to do a cheer; wl en they get downstairs, the referees ask them to get off the floor because the time is up. During the three home games, most girls have ex- pressed the opinion that it is quite hard for them to see any of the game. The solution above may or may not work, but if we could be given reasons why we have been seated in the balcony and if our solution would not work, then we would be quite willing to stay up in the balcony.

Susan has been chosen, along with 45 other U.S. students to spend her junior year of college abroad. In preparation for this trip Susan will spend from July 1 to August 15, in Quebec where she will only be allowed to speak French. After a hectic month of packing and im- munization, Susan will sail for Barritiz, a coastal city of France. There she will under- go a six week orientation period.

During the school year Susan will live with a French family in Paris. She will be allowed two weeks at Christmas and Easter to tour any part of Europe. Susan wrote to the French Embassy last summer for a list of colleges participating in this program, as her present school, Creight- on, does not participate in this program. She then applied at Hamilton College in New York and was accepted on the basis of her high school and college grades, and a great interest in French. Along with letters of re- commendation from all her college professors, she had to submit a paper on her reasons for entering into this program. Thoughts for the Day After Santa comes around, be thankful for what you have, and be glad you didn’t get what you deserved. Have you noticed the teachers getting into the Christmas spirit by giving the students two minute study halls at the end of each class? If you girls who are wearing textured hose think you’re really in the vogue, remember that our dear nuns have been wearing dark colored hose for many more years than you have. You’re only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely. Room 342 is a cheerful-looking room. In it lies a man who can take little comfort in the solicitous efforts made for his ease. A man who finds the pale walls of the room bleak and harsh- a man steeped in desolation. He is exhausted as his heart struggles to pro- long his stream of life. In response to the cheerfulness the nurses seek to impart, he pathetically attempts to return the smile. For he knows— there is no hope. — He must lie, and weep, and wait. Too early he was born. Too late did he receive the knowledge with which we are so fortunately endowed. Yes, my friend is old, now. He is very tired— he is dying.— of TB. Although tuberculosis is no longer the nation's number one killer, it is not a disease of the past. More than 250,000 Americans have TB today. Tuberculin tests and yearly chest x-rays are excellent means of stopping TB before it starts. Tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases cost money; they cause lung crippling; they kill. Don’t let it happen to you.

But Anita Bonvini, Miege’s foreign exchange student, stated, “Some American people think that in Pan- ama we do not have new buildings and stores and clothes, but we are just as modern as the people here. We even celebrate most of your holidays.” The biggest holiday celebrated in Panama is Christmas, Anita said. When asked to compare this holiday in the two countries Anita said, “The only difference is that your Santa comes down the fireplace and ours comes in the window. The reason for this is because we have no chimneys, for we have no cold weather in Panama.” Anita also mentioned that on Christmas eve there is a dinner party for all the teen- agers at her school and on Christmas day there is a big family dinner at her house. In conclusion, Anita stated, “I miss Pan- ama and the Christmas celebration there, but I am real excited about seeing for the first time a white Christmas!” 400 Pounds Of Ho Ho Ho Kris Kringle, commonly known to us as Santa Claus, will soon be coming to town with his bag of goodies for the good little kiddies. I don’t know how many people believe this tale about Santa Claus but if there are many past the age of twelve then there is something seriously wrong with them. I say this because past the age of twelve they should begin to think a little about this legend of Santa Claus. I mean, how many people do you know who can come down a chimney with a whole herd of deers, and a sled with a bag of goodies and four hundred pounds of ho ho ho in it, with only one rein- deer named Rudolph to light the way. Also how can he be in all the department stores around town giving little kiddies a ride on his knee? And how come after he asks his riders that they want for Christmas he only gives them a sucker? Another thing-how can someone who weighs so much be so light on his feet while he is putting the presents around the Christmas tree? And finally how come I never see any reindeer footprints on my carpet when 1 wake up on Christmas morning and find out that Santa Claus for- got what I told him to bring me; for all I see under the tree are clothes, when all I really wanted was a stand up, sit down, turn around, walking, talking, do my homework robot. Jim McGinley Fourth attendant to the queen-Linda Sims.” This statement was announced by the judges at the annual Baton Twirling Royal in Manhattan, Kansas, on November 21, 1964. Linda won a first place trophy for solo twirling, a second place medal for fancy marching, and a fourth place for military marching. The Royalettes, a large team of which Linda was a member, also won a sec- ond place trophy. By winning a first place award, Linda became eligible for queen. Of the seventeen queen candidates, Linda was the only entry from Kansas. Commenting on the excitement of being chosen as fourth attendant, Linda said, “I was so shocked that you could not imagine the feeling!” This contest was judged mainly on poise, grace, and personality. Linda also organized a baton routine for the Homecoming half time activities in which she used a flaming baton. Christmas Woodworkers M ass Produce Accuracy is very important and is stressed by Mr. Zimola, industrial arts instructor, when he teaches his advanced woodworkers the basic techniques of mass production. Each of Mr. Zimola’s advanced woodwork- ing students worked from two to five hours a week, for two weeks on a special project using the idea of mass production. During this time 26 handsomely done serving trays were completed. Each boy had a different job to do along the way to the finished pro- duct. Some boys cut and measured various parts, some boys assembled the parts of the trays, still others inspected every piece to make sure that accuracy and perfection were being accomplished in every piece. After the two week period every student took one of the very well done serving trays home to their Mommies. The remaining trays will be sold at a later date for an un- determined price. Linda Sims strikes a pose before beginning her prize winning performance. Snow’s His Game If you don’t mind freezing, you can make a lot of money in the winter by shoveling snow. Most kids from Rockhurst, North, or East who shovel snow consider seven or eight driveways to be about all they can handle, but when a Miegian does something, he does it big. Senior George Kramer doesn’t shovel driveways; he clears parking lots. And the shovel he uses is a three-quarter ton international snow plow with a seven and one-half foot hydraulic blade. The plow was originally purchased to remove snow from around Kramer Brother’s filling station in Overland Park; but now it is also used in many other places. George now clears Mea- dow Lake shopping center and various busi- ness and church parking lots. He has just recently contracted to clear the lots at the Chevrolet plant in Lenexa. Driving the plow is hard work and it might be thought by some to be cold work, but then they don’t know how warm the thought of $15 an hour can keep you. George Kramer takes a firm stand on snow. - 141 - Stags Show Christmas Spirit During the past week, the individual home- rooms have been collecting or buying food, clothes, and toys for the needy family that they picked from a list supplied by the Cath- olic Charities. The gifts are being wrapped today during first hour and later on in the day will be de- livered to the homes of the needy families by students whom the homerooms choose. The mixed chorus sang for the St. Agnes Altar Society on December 1. Under the direction of Reverand Anthony Blaufuss, the ceremonies for Christmas and Advent this year have become more exten- sive and meaningful. The Advent wreath, just outside the office, for instance, repre- sents the second coming of Christ. The Ger- man pagans originated this idea years ago when they believed that the world existed 4000 years before Christ and each candle represented 1000 years of waiting. Now we are waiting or desiring the second coming of Christ at the end of the world. During the four weeks of Advent the of- ficers of each class light one of the candles for their class. This symbolizes that Christ is the star or light of the world. Also, this year, we have a Jesse tree on which is hung symbols of the Old Testament representing Christ instead of lights and orn- aments. Two of the symbols being used are manna, representing the bread used in the consecration of the Mass, and a star, sym- bolizing Christ being the light of the world. The choir also will put on the Christmas assembly together with the girls’ glee and the speech department. For the Holy Name P.T.O. on January 17 and for the Miege P.T.O. on January 18 the choir will also sing. Songs sung by the choir include O Holy Night,” ‘‘Drummer Boy,” Carol of the Bells,” Do You Hear What I Hear?” and other traditional Christmas carols. Members of POVO held their annual Christmas Dinner on Monday, December 14, in the school cafeteria. As in the past, POVO invited the priests and nuns of the Miege faculty to attend the dinner. After dinner and dishes, the girls went to Our Lady of Mercy Home and sang Christ- mas carols for the women in the home. 1 think that everyone is fully cooperating in showing the Christmas spirit of charity,” remarked Nancy Kopek, Student Congress Secretary. Math Club to Take Test The Bishop Miege Math Club has been invited to take the 1965 annual High School Mathematics Examination, sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America. It will be given on March 4, 1965, during the first two periods of the day. Awards range from a bronze cup presented to the winning school to individual gifts of slide rules. The Security Benefit Life Insurance Company is offering a $100 scholarship to the highest ranking student in Kansas. Sister Dolores is the math club modera- tor. Miege Again Enacts Ancient Rituals “Oh, no! I left the matches at home, thinks Terry Alley, Student Congress President, as he watches John Dold and Father Blaufuss prepare to light the Advent wreath. - 142 - Test Tidbits Note to all seniors intending to at- tend college. The S.A.T. and A.C.T. tests are coming up again. The S.A.T. will be given March 6, and anyone wishing to take the test should register before February 6. The A.C.T. will be given February 20, and the registration is before Jan- uary 23. Semester tests will be given to all students on January 13-15. All non-college bound students are urged to see Mr. Byard in his office. There you can pick up information on business schools, hairdressing, military obligations, etc. Seniors to Seminar Seniors Jim McCauley, Matt Orr, Mike Judge, Don Fortin, Dennis Harris. John Col- lins, and Mike Kelly have been selected to attend the Holiday Science Lectures that are presented by The American Association for the Advancement of Science in colla- boration with Science Pioneers Inc., and the Linda Hall Library. The purpose of this series is “to provide science lectures of the highest quality given by scientists of note—bringing eminent sci- entists face to face with the highest caliber of high school students, thus providing an opportunity for an interchange of informa- tion and ideas not possible under any other circumstances,” states Mr. Leo J. Roedl, executive director of Science Pioneers Inc. The first of the lectures will be given by Dr. George Gamow, noted physicist of the University of Colorado, at the Metropolitan Junior College, 3845 McGee Street, Decem- ber 28 and 29. His lectures will be on, World Ether vs. Einstein,” “Can Space be Curved and Finite?”, The Quanta of Energy and the Atom”, and “Stellar Furnaces and Their Future Use by Man. He will give a morning and afternoon lecture on both days. Dr. Gamow, a Russian-born physicist, took his doctor of philosophy at the Univer- sity of Leningrad in 1928. He has worked on the H-bomb at Los Alamos with the famous Niels Bohr, on the quantum theory of the atomic neucleus, and he has developed a theory of the chemical reactions to the origin of the universe. Attendance at the lectures has been limit- ed to 500 science teachers and some of their outstanding science students. Seventy-one high schools in Jackson, Clay, Platte, John- son and Wyandotte counties have been ask- ed to choose students from their schools to attend the seminar. Similar Christmas lectures will be given in five other cities. Brother Challenges ‘Brothers Four” I like high school students, was the simple but warmly said statement made by Brother Robert Hentzen, as he spoke before one of the many religion classes he visited during the week of November 20 to Decem- ber 4. He is a Christian Brother and vocational director at La Salle Institute, Glencoe, Mis- souri. Brother Robert gave three reasons for his coming here: to acquaint us with his three years in Latin America, to explain his position as a brother, and to get some help in a survey that he is taking. He has traveled in nine countries of Latin America and says that continent is in a mess.’ He remarked that “you don’t need a master’s degree when working in the jungle, but knowledge of first aid, history, firearms, communist tactics, customs, and survival would help! “I used my guitar a lot down there, not only with my teaching but also to help make closer friendship ties. The three points that he gave about choos- ing any real vocation are: read all you can about the field, talk with people who are in it, and, above all, pray. Brother Robert said that there is no need of an absolute certainty before going into a vocation. It is some- thing that will grow.” “Why Americans make the best mission- aries and why one out of three marriages fail, were the questions he asked the stu- dents for the survey. Brother Robert also held conferences for anyone wishing to see him. “One of the main reasons we make sacrifices to have Catholic schools is the personal interest we try to show in each of our students. As a vocational counselor, I try to be knowledgeable, ap- proachable, and available.” Brother Robert gave a surprise Hoote- nany on December 4 at the awards assem- bly. His songs included Michael Row the Boat Ashore, “Everglades,” and “When the Stags Come Marching In.” Alleluia! Alleluia!” Past Stags reminisce as they plan for their class reunion in the school library. Alumni to Hold First Reunion From 8:00-12:00 on December 27, grad- uates from both St. Agnes and Bishop Miege will gather here for their first class reunion. Past faculty members are also going to be present. The officers of the classes, which go back as far as 1949, met in the Miege Library on December 6 to plan for this event which, it is hoped, will become an annual custom. A room will be assigned to each class where the graduates will be able to exchange family pictures and go over old yearbooks. There will be dancing in the gym and re- freshments, served by the senior girls, in the cafeteria. Postcards have been sent to all alumni and the event has been publicized in the church bulletins. The class chairmen who were responsible for planning the event are: ’58, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Dalton; ’59, Jim Colbert; ’60, Mary Ellen Dueber; ’61, Larry Brooks; ’62, Jean- nine Allen; ’63, Julie Dold and Gary Little; ’64 Melvin Lavery. 'Dear Ann Danders,... “I don’t write to roll them in the aisle, but to give advice,” said Ann Landers about the purpose of her advice column that appears in 570 newspapers from Johannesburg, South Africa to Culley-Noodle, Indiana. She was the guest speaker at the Kansas City Social Health Society’s dinner on December 1 at the Hotel Bellerive and which was attended by students from nine area high schools, in- cluding Kathy Flynn, Mike Judge, Suzy Linton, and Ken North from Miege. Every letter that has a return address on it is answered and she spends $25,000 yearly just on stationary, stamps, and telephone Stuco Names Citizens The citizens of the month for November are three senior and three junior girls. The seniors who won the award are: Susan Wood, for her generosity in helping with the National Honor Society’s book drive for the missions; Jeanette Indelicato, for her service in the library, and Rose Marie Barton, who gave extensive help in the cafeteria during the Teacher’s Institute. Mary Kay Marx, Jean Harvey, and Linda Kuhnlein are the junior girls who received the award for their CCD work in St. Agnes parish and in Sacred Heart parish in Gardner, Kansas, where they expecially gave a favorable image of Miege High. calls. “My phone bill looks like the national defense budget,” she remarked. One of her nine assistents does nothing but open mail. Ann Landers herself works from 10-12 hours daily. Men account for one-half of her letters. “They probably hide my column underneath the sports page.” The biggest problem they write in about is, quite naturally, women. One male admirer who had received some helpful advice described her as “a hard boil- ed cookie who knows the score.” “The lower class sends in the most honest letters,” states Ann Landers, “ and the up- per class almost always wants opinions and not advice.” She calls television the “boob-tube” and the people who constantly watch it, vid- iots.” “It is a sympton of a national disaster called boredom. Nowadays people search for ways to kill time.” Her opinion of children - “they want to act like adults,” and of adults - “they want to act like children.” “Mom.I’m running away from home. Who is going to drive me?” is her favorite joke which she believes shows how a lot of chil- dren are spoiled by their parents. Father R. VanAckran, President of Rock- hurst College, and Claude Dorsey and Jim Monroe, TV newsmen, gave commentaries on her speech. - 143 - Intramural Highlights The intramural basketball program began early in October with seven teams opening the program; however, recognition has never been given to the participants in this sports activity or the winners of the championship playoffs. The championship team, the Hawks, end- ed the season with an impressive 12-2 record and a clean sweep of both the first and sec- ond halves of the season. The team was com- posed of Fred Silady, Frank Martin, John Silady, Terry Busenbark, Chris Ripper, Mark Herlack, and Paul Willey. Also making news in the intramural pro- gram is a hardy breed of men engaged in that bone crushing, knee knocking European pastime known as soccer. These courageous sport enthusiasts brave snow, sleet, rain, mud, and Mr. Hill just to participate in their favorite extra-curricular sport. The program will continue into January at which time the championship will be decided. Along with the soccer teams, two other winter intramural activities are scheduled, handball and ping pong. The handball program started the third week of December and now is in full swing. The ping pong program will begin shortly after Christmas. Dick Wall takes free throw from the charity line during the Rockhurst game. Tourney Opener Shows Hawks Clip Stags The Rockhurst Hawklets built up an early first half lead and held off a late Stag surge to preserve a 59-56 victory at the Miege gym. Bob Gleason and Ken Mayer paced the Hawks with 19-15 points respectively. Miege, unable to find the range in the first quarter, fell behind 37-16 at half-time. The spirited Stags came out after half-time and closed the gap in the third quarter. The surge cooled off during the early moments of the fourth quarter and then the Stags made a last minute run only to fall short by three. Dick Wall, 6-4 senior, lulled off 23 re- bounds and lumped in 14 points for the nite. Sophomore Mike Doeren with his seven free throws lengthened this string of charity shots to 16 straight along with collecting 15 points in the game. Miege also received good play out of sophomore Joe Dold, and from Dan Watkins, defensive ace. This was Miege'ss second loss in as many games, however, neither loss was very im- pressive. The Stags fell short of Rockhurst by only three and to Argentine by only four. Isometric Program To Begin Soon Even though this year’s football season ended nearly a month ago, preparations are already being made to prepare next year’s football team and track team for their up- coming seasons. On January 4, a combined program of isometrics and weightlifting will begin with these purposes in mind. The program will be under the direction of Coach Frazier and will continue up to and during the outdoor track season. For those of you who haven’t heard of isometrics, it is a program in which you put all yott re strength against some immovable object, such as a wall or pillar, and attempt to move it. This not only builds up your strength; but it also makes you very frustrat- ed. But the merits of this program far out- weigh its demerits in that the program is much more consistent in the method of building up the muscles and even more ef- fective than weightlifting. In fact, it is so consistent and effective that most people who specialize in body exercise recommend it. Stags Facing Eagles With the coming of the Christmas season, we also find ourselves in the midst of the an- nual Christmas tournaments. This year Miege has accepted an invitation to play in the Lee Summit Tournament. In Miege’s first encounter with third seeded Ruskin, the Stags will have to defend against a bal- anced attack led by Don Draper, Gary Mount, and Jim Cairo. Ruskin fresh off a championship victory in the Grandview In- vitational has high hopes of sweeping this tournament also. Should Miege overcome the Eagles they would meet the winner of the Center-Truman game. Center’s attack lies behind the shooting ability of Mike O’Shea, Bruce Sloan, and Terry Tompson. Truman, a newly formed school has got off to a shaky start this season. The Pa- triots, however, hope to mold their forces with Don Hartman and Phil Underwood in time to give Center a tough battle. A victory in the second game would send the Stags to the finals where they would meet the other sectional winner. Tahiti or Bust? Are you planning on doing anything dur- ing the coming long winter months? Perhaps a short trip to Miami Beach? A quick jaunt to Tahiti, or maybe just a plain ’ole ocean cruise through the Carribean? Oh, you say you’re not planning any of these things? Well then plan to sign up for the intramural program for the second se- mester. Mr. Eugene Salamans, our alert history teacher in charge of second semester intra- murals, plans to have something to interest just about everybody. If you like ping pong, hand ball, or volley- ball, sign up right now. Oh, you say you’re more the ‘outdoor type’? Well plans are be- ing tried to organize an ice hockey league which would utilize the facilities of nearby ice rinks. Along with the hockey the second semester outdoor sports will include a touch or flag football league organized from par- ticipants in the intramural program. REMINDER!! Don’t forget the Lee’s Summit Tour- nament December 28 at Lee’s Summit. The Stags will face the Ruskin Eagles in the second game at 8:15. See ya’ there! . 144 - THE MIEGIAN Volume 7, No. 5 Bishop Miege High School, Shawnee Mission, Kansas February 8, 1965 Honorary Society— Old and Selective Membership in the National Honor So- ciety is a precious and valued thing. It ought to be; for the student who belongs encom- passes the whole person-the best in mind, body, and soul. Students selected into the society show a high degree of scholarship, service, character, and leadership. All of these are of equal im- portance. A student may have a straight A average but still not get in because of little or lack of participation in school activities. As a preliminary qualification a student must have at least a straight B average. Once in, he must maintain a B average. Sev- en activity points for service are required of all applicants. Points are given for member- ship in various clubs, offices held, and awards received. Students who qualify in scholar- ship and service, are then voted on for char- acter and leadership by the faculty. Some have been disqualified because of this point only. The alloted membership quota has rarely been filled at Miege. The purpose of the National Honor Society is not just to give recognition, but to make the student strive for better and deeper ob- jectives. In the school, the member provides an influence and an inspiration to the other students to attain higher standards of excel- lence. The national scale of the organization and its sponsorship by a recognized educa- tional body gives the member a high pres- tige and acceptance throughout the United Members officers Cheryl Bartkoski and Di- ana Carr working on the National Honor Society’s book drive. Stags To Exchange With Central The week of Feb. 15-19 has been desig- nated by Student Congress as the period in which Miege will execute an exchange of students with Central High School. (cont.) States. Colleges will recognize the N.H.S and membership may be an important aid in the receiving of a scholarship or fellow- ship. It is no small thing in the world of edu- cation or works to say that you are a mem- ber of N.H.S. Task Stamps Frosh As True Miegians 'Each commerative stamp is worth 15 glasses of milk or three-fourths pound of dried foods, stated chairman Jane Dewees just before Thanksgiving to her freshmen homeroom 234. Since she originated the idea, the freshman class has become “stamp collectors and have been able to provide 120,000 glasses of milk and 6000 lbs. of dried food to the needy overseas. Individuals in each homeroom are assign- ed to removing the stamps from the enve- lopes, sorting the different varieties, and making posters. Although the class project is divided on a homeroom basis, almost all of the work has been done outside of school. After the stamps have been sorted and packed, they are shipped to the Council of Churches in Seattle who in turn sells them to stamp collectors and use the money to buy surplus food from the U.S. Government. This food is then sent to the hungry around the world. The class of 68, in becoming stamp con- scious, have requested banks and other places of business to save their stamps. Kar- en Boesche has alone brought in over 5000 stamps. Students, even upperclassmen, are en- couraged to place canceled stamps with at least one-fourth inch trim in the designated box in the cafeteria or in any freshmen home- room. “Even though our freshman class has faced opposition this year,” remarked Jane Deweese, “our First class project has been a great success. We hope it isn’t our last.” - 145 - Although this exchange is only a small part of Miege's overall exchange efforts, it is believed that this exchange, which will in- volve ten students from each school, will contribute greatly to the exchange move- ment. The students that will be selected to re- present Miege will be chosen on a competi- tive basis, with particular emphasis on each student s reason for wishing to take part in the program. Four students from the Senior class will be selected in addition to two students from each of the lower classes. Efforts are also being made to secure part, or all, of the Central High School choir for a Brotherhood Assembly that will initiate the exchange program that week. Anyone interested in learning more about the exchange or in taking part in it is urged to contact Ken North, exchange committee chairman. Debate To A Finish Once again this year Miege debaters made an impressive mark on the tournament cir- cuit. Ken North and Doug Irmen placed sec- ond in the preliminary rounds from a field of 99 teams in William Chrisman s four- state tournament with teams coming from as far as Nebraska. This tournament was not only a straight debate but was a cross-exam in which the debating teams were required to answer questions. Diane Carr and Nancy Kopek made a good showing at the district tournament by debating into the upper rounds of the tour- nament. Miege also attended Shawnee Mis- sion, Highland Park, and Topeka Central tournaments in which they made a line showing of their skills. Other Miege debaters having taken part in the tournaments this year were: Seniors - Don Fortin, Judi Landis, Leslie Rohr; Jun- iors - John Cain, Chris Clays, Tom Conry, Dave Davenport, Diane Dorlac, Pat Hild- reth, Ed I arkin, Diane Lusk, Kathy O Con- or, Mike Roth, John Rutherford, Bill Sine, Larry Vieni. Barbara Yeado. All made im- pressive showings at the various tourna- ments attended. Ken North, N.F.L. president, expressed his satisfaction with the debate season and predicted promising years for up-coming teams. Unlimited Access? The following letter was written in an- swer to the criticism of appropriations ad- vanced to the Community Service Commit- tee. (It was submitted approximately two weeks after the major Editorial on page 3 was drafted.) Dear Editor: Recently there has been criticism of the Service Committee’s use of Student Con- gress funds in promotion of its programs in the individual parishes. Our opponents have termed this privilege as “unlimited access” in an attempt to exaggerate the scope of this measure. The fact is, “unlimited access' at Miege is impossible. Just because a person is Editor of the newspaper, does this give him unlimited access to or unlimited control of the minds of the readers by print- ing whatever he desires? Just because a per- son is captain of the football team, does this give him the power to completely govern the team and its actions? No! Miege being a school where all students and even faculty members have superiors, such unlimited access” or unlimited control” is IMPOS- SIBLE. This is also the case with the Ser- vice Committee. First of all, it is utterly il- logical to think that anyone is going to run off with the funds. Secondly, no one could withdraw money without the knowledge of such immediate associates as the Treasurer, who obviously is not going to naively sit by and let the funds be drained away, the Pres- ident, who is indirectly responsible for each of the committees, and the Moderator, who can say yes” or no” to any money appro- priations. Therefore, the Service Committee has similar regulations to all other school or- ganizations. The presence of many superiors, and yes, contrary to the opinion of some, even the good intentions of those concerned, prevents anything as ridiculous as unlimit- ed access” from occurring. As to the argument that this measure Several years ago, a vice president of Stu- dent Congress expressed the opinion that Miege had no need of institutional furni- ture for the student lounge. The student body agreed and quality furniture was pur- chased. But circumstances have proved this claim of maturity and responsibility to be, at least for some, premature. ★ ★ ★ A few weeks back a survey was taken by the journalism classes concerning the effects of an after school job. The question may have been leading, but we weren't totally would cause a precedent for future Congress actions, this is also unfounded. Anyone who would read the Constitution would find that Student Congress shall have the power to collect and distribute funds Article 3, Sec- tion 2. This means any Congress can vote for or against any money appropriations (The present Congress has approved this measure being discussed now.) And any fu- ture student government that would vote for a similar measure simply because a past Congress voted for it, wouldn’t amount to a hill of beans, anyway. 1 think that all re- presentatives elected by the students of Miege will have strong enough convictions to vote according to what they themselves believe, and not according to what some per- son or some committee did years before. In light of these considerations, it is evi- dent that to place a ceiling on any expendi- tures required for this project would only waste time and hold back the progress of the programs. Since we have promised to re- pay any funds we might borrow, the Stu- dent Congress treasury will not suffer at all in the long run. Perhaps it would be better for the spirit ol Miege if we devoted our time and efforts to the actual programs themselves, instead of to an insignificant de- tail which has been blown way out of pro- portion. A great philosopher once said, Much of public opinion is formed by strong statements of persons who didn't take time to think while forming opinions.” In refer- ence to this statement, I close with a ques- tion: Do you, the students of Bishop Miege, actually think that the Service Committee with a project aimed at helping the Cath- olic Charities, is going to contradict its prin- ciples and unjustly or unwisely use Student Congress funds? — Doug Irmen Chairman Community Service Committee aware of the fact that seventy-one senior boys had a wife and four kiddies. ★ ★ ★ Though few may admit it, the student body is deeply indebted to both Father Sul- livan and the participating members for the continuing contributions of the band. ★ ★ ★ Perhaps with added student support they could become a permanent part of Miege, rather than an organization dependent upon annual zeal. Who Needs God? The retreats in the past have been characterized by their gen- eral lack of enthusiasm and re- sponse. Because retreat was put on a regular school day basis, stu- dents were forced to attend and forced through disciplinary means to stay. This of course caused a great deal of resentment which was manifested through misbe- havior. These uninterested stu- dents not only wasted the retreat master’s time but also distracted the ones who needed this time. An ideal group for a retreat is about 150. Another problem was that the atmosphere of a school day was simply not compatible with a retreat, thus this exper- ience seemed rather sterile and meaningless. This “school day” re- treat afforded very little freedom of discussion or action. These problems proved there must be a definite improvement in the external aspect of a retreat. This year’s new policy concerning this project has eliminated many of these problems. Since it is on a Sunday and rather inconvenient for many, many of the uninterest- ed and lukewarm will not come. Because it is not on a school day, the retreat can be voluntary and with no need for discipline or con- trol. The retreat can be perfect, but only if interested students, stu- dents who can benefit from this experience should attend. Editors-in-chief: Debbie Linton and Ken North.

A Second Thought. . . - 146 - The Case For Control The Congress meeting of December 10 seemed uneventful to most attending it; and it closed with the customary sigh of relief as the debating, considering, and defending was finished for two more weeks. An un- noticed few, however, left the room much more slowly, entertaining a considerable amount of doubt over one particular pro- duct of that normal Congress meeting. The bill in question, the object of their concern, had advanced to one of the Con- gress committees what amounted to unlim- ited access to the student treasury. Members of that committee had petitioned congress for appropriations to finance one of their major programs. Since the committee could not decide exactly how much it needed, it requested simply the authorization to sub- tract from the treasury the funds it needed, when they were needed, without having to ask the congress for these appropriations when they were determined. Immediately, objections were raised by those same few who entertained doubts about it after the meeting. It was pointed out by them that it was an abuse of authority to require some organizations to submit painstaking requests for loans, showing exactly how much would be spent and how and when it would be re- turned, and require of other groups no ex- planation at all. The pros and cons Hew fast and furious. And then suddenly, prematurely, debate was closed. The bill was voted upon and passed by a substantial majority; most evi- dently agreeing that the objections raised by the few were making a mountain out of a molehill.” The editorial staff of this paper has no intentions of exploiting this situation into a chasm of controversy and disunity. On the other hand, we do not shy from controversy simply to appease those who prefer the quiet, uneventful year, believing it to be indica- tive of a school’s success. This nation was founded on the two party system, a source of much controversy. It has prospered in an environment of peaceful dis- content, one of the surest earmarks of public interest in good government and law. We feel now, as our forefathers felt then, that progress should not be allowed to suf- fer at the hands of those who fear its wounds. For this reason, we submit to the student body the following summary of the defense of both sides of the bill. THOSE WHO PROPOSED AND PAS- SED THIS BILL POINT OUT: 1) that there is no need to put a ceiling on the appropriations because the present com- mittee can be trusted to spend no more than necessary. 2) that there is no need to keep running back to the congress to have the congress appro- priate new funds by law, when it is much easier to give the committee authority to take from the treasury the funds it needs when they are needed. 3) that higher authority (presumedly the administration or S.C. moderator) would prevent the committee from abusing this power and bankrupting the treasury. OPPONENTS OF THIS BILL, POINT OUT: 1) that is an abuse of authority to approve this bill, (as previously explained) 2) that this bill, since the representatives will not know how much is spent until after it is spent, amounts to indirect Taxation without Representation. (Remembering that most of the student funds come from the student himself, the funds are a form of tax.) 3) that this bill could quite easily form a precedent in years to come for a committee to achieve complete control of the student treasury. Although no one questions the in- tentions of the committee involved, now, this dependability may not always exist in the future. 4) that the U.S. Constitution provides for appropriations only through law in Article I, Section 9, Clause 7, even before the bill of rights was drawn up. Evidently, the found- ers of the Constitution considered the wealth of the nation even more important than the rights of the individual. 5) THAT THERE IS NO REASON FOR NOT APPROPRIATING FUNDS ONLY THROUGH LAW. Those who proposed this bill resented a ceiling being placed on it, even a ceiling allowing them 50% more than they themselves estimated necessary. Why shouldn't they be expected to know how much they will spend? What are they afraid of? 6) that the time needed to appropriate new funds by law could be as short as 30 seconds and need never take more than 5 minutes, including debate. 7) that the student body has a right to in- sist on satisfactory control of the treasury, and should not be dependent upon the ad- ministration for the control of funds belong- ing to the student. 8) that, in short, the congress should not ap- propriate funds on the basis of trust. If ade- quate control of the treasury was provided for in the Miege constitution the situation would never degenerate to the point of de- termining “who can be trusted and who These were the pros and cons of this con- sideration as objectively as they could be determined. We hold it to be the right, as well as the serious obligation, of the student body to determine what is the mountain” and what is the molehill”. We ask you to remember that it is the circumstances sur- rounding the bill, and not the integrity of the committee that you must consider. If you believe, as we do, that effective control of the treasury is a primary responsi- bility of the congress to those governed and to those taxed, then express in your home- room your support of the following amend- ment as proposed by your class presidents. Support it-defend it-demand it. The maturity of the student body, and the ultimate success or failure of student gov- ernment, lies in the balance. Amendment Zwo SECTION ONE: No money shall be drawn from the trea- sury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law. SECTION TWO: Congress shall appropriate funds or loans to any individual, group, or organization only upon receipt of a statement (submitted by the individual, group, or organization) in which the amount to be appropriated will be approximated, the basis for the approxi- mation being contained therein. SECTION THREE: Appropriations not exceeding 20% of the original approximation can be delegated to any individual, group, or organization upon determination by the student con- gress treasurer that the previous appro- priations to the same party were insuffi- cient, but only with the S.C. treasurer’s ap- proval. (Subject to possible censure by congress at a later date) SECTION FOUR: Sections one, two, and three become ef- fective immediately upon proper ratifica- tion of this second amendment to the con- stitution of Bishop Miege High School. ARTICLE THREE, SECTION TWO, MIEGE CONSTITUTION: Student Con- gress shall have the power to collect and distribute funds in the name of the stu- dents of Bishop Miege High School.

Comprising Miege's intellectual line were Charles Weingart, senior; Dianne Carr, sen- ior; Ken North, senior; Fred Silady, senior; and Dianne Lusk, junior. S.M. North took an early lead in the pro- gram, tripling Miege's score in the first sev- en minutes. At the quarter, Mr. Bob Higby, Cate- gories director, questioned Ken North in re- gard to various activities at Miege this year. Ken, captain of the Miege team, discussed the contributions of the Student Congress Community Service Committee, and men- tioned the upcoming plans for Miege's speech teams. An additional point was added to Miege's score a week later when WDAF accepted an answer that was rejected at the time of the taping. Although the final score was 26-11 in S.M. North’s favor, the Miege team still expressed their enjoyment of the contest and their ap- preciation to the WDAF staff. A hopeful note was detected for next year’s team as this year’s group entered into a silent compact behind Sr. Gerard's (team moderator) back, all of them pledging re- newed attacks upon their Congressman for additional federal funds. ZheSix “There are six 'F’s' to be considered in choosing a college,” reported Mr. Jerome P. Dickhaus, representative of Saint Louis Uni- versity who spoke to a group of seniors Jan- uary 19, after school. Of course, St. Louis is the best. It's co—ed and it’s away from home. New Locations Up to this time, winter sports activities for Mission and the surrounding areas have been quite limited. As a result, a special com- mittee composed of youth and adults from the above mentioned areas has been formed to promote more and better “Youth Recrea- tional Facilities.” Concrete plans have been formed and have been active as of January 1, 1965. These plans have been in the fields of ice skating and sledding. Two locations have been procured for the expressed purpose of ice skating. The first is just north of the Skelly Service Station at In Case of Attack... For two and a half weeks in January, Mr. Reardon taught the combined class of his and Mr. Moritz's government classes. The purpose of the course was to help save lives if a nuclear attack should ever come to Ame- rica. The Civil Defense program set up by the government tells of the radiation emitted by the bomb and efforts to protect people from it. The course also includes the build- ing of fallout shelters and survival informa- tion after you leave the shelter. Films, lectures, and instruction booklets have been used for further information on the subject. The course proved interesting to all; even though no senior wants to put his knowledge of this matter into use. Jh College The first is “Faculty.” Mr. Dickhaus stat- ed that 76% of the Saint Louis faculty has a Ph.D.; whereas, most universities have only 52%. The second “F” is facilities. As for this Mr. Dickhaus stated it was just a matter of taste or what the student is looking for: a campus, ball team, track team, etc. Thirdly-Finances. You pay for what you get. Of course, the more accredited the col- lege-the greater the cost. You can pay from $300-$4000 a year; but you'll get what you pay for. Next comes future- that’s self explanatory for when you attend college, you attend for your future profession or future job. The fifth “F” is faith. You can’t educate a man without educating him religiously. The final “F” is friends. Saint Louis has students from all over the country and many exchange students from foreign countries. The discussion ended with an invitation to the group to come to the second largest Catholic university for a weekend; and a special promise to senior Don Fortin that when he came a tall blonde would meet him at the station! For Winter Fun Johnson Drive and Broadmoor. Parking has been provided for across the street west of the skating area and north of the grocery store parking lot. The hours will be flexible for skating. A barrel and firewood will be available so a fire can be built to warm the skaters. The second location is Mission City Park at 61st and Woodson. Parking is avail- able on 61st and in the city parking lot. Five locations for sledding have been made available. At each, a barrel and firewood will be provided. Supervision will be maintained at frequent times, especially when barricades are set up in the streets. All the locations are completely safe from traffic. The areas are Beverly street and 56th to 58th, Out- look street from 51st to 49th, 62nd Terrace and 63rd west from Hodges, west from 51st and Riggs, and north of Highway 50 on Barkley Drive. —Jim Ludwikoski Hearts are Wild The traditional holiday known as Valen- tine’s Day is not really a holiday at all, for there are no special events that mark the day either nationally or religiously. It is, however, a custom that has survived from the Roman civilization; although little real significance is attached to the festivities today, many young people throughout the country still send “valentines” to their sweet- hearts. The custom of exchanging tokens of love began during the Lupercalian festival in ancient Rome and was Christianized in the third century when this exchange was asso- ciated with the martydom of Saint Valentine on Feb. 14. Just exactly why it has survived the centuries no one knows; but today we still have, although a little more sophisti- cated, these expressions of love. Dick’s Dictionary Advice: instant answers, often given to ques- tions not asked. Aptitudes: the only remaining hope if there has been no achievement to date. Clarification: proof that the counselor wasn’t listening. Intelligence: the capacity to figure out things you haven’t been told to learn. Prediction: a guess that can be easily ra- tionalized if it doesn’t come out right. Reliability: making the same mistakes regu- larly. Research: scientific investigation by some- one not as busy as you. Silence: the last frontier of permissiveness. - 150- Mardi Gras Come one, come all to the • dancing, games, booths, and surprises, all in store for the an- nual Mardi Gras Sunday, February 28, from 6-10 p.m. The last event of the school calendar be- fore the opening of the Lenten season will be planned by the clubs and classes. Both clubs and classes have been invited by the Student Congress to display their initiative in booths and club corners to test the student’s skill. Each club and class participating have plan- ned a variety of ways to entice the carnival goers. All profit of the evening is placed in a central treasury and is at the disposal of both when needed. The areas designated for the evening’s events are concentrated in the cafeteria, caf- eteria foyer, and student lounge. Each area will be filled with decorated booths to at- tract the interest of the passer by. Dancing, cokes, and candy will be avail- able to the students in the lounge through- out the evening s events. An invitation of welcome is extended to friends, parents, brothers, and sisters from 6-8 p.m. The traditional auction and Letterman’s jail all go into the anticipation for a success- ful annual event. Movie Review My 3air JCady Perhaps George Bernard Shaw’s Pygma- lion gave no promise of being a smash hit; but the skillful hands of Lerner and Lowe have turned it into just that —first on the stage and now on the wide screen. My Fair Lady mixes excitement, adventure, and ro- mance without losing any of Mr. Shaw’s original sly wit and irony. The story begins simply enough in a Lon- don shower. Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, is listening to Professor Henry Higgins tell her precisely what is wrong with her’s and every other Englishman’s way of speaking. He even goes as far as to bet an associate, Colonel Pickering, that within six months he could transform Eliza into a lady fine enough to be presented at St. James’ Court. Eliza's conception of “ladyhood only in- cludes chocolates everyday, but she learns that her speech is what she must change. And change it she does, until after months of grueling repetition, she announces that: “The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.” with perfect round tones. Hex Harrison is perfect as the confirmed, old bachelor whose ideas on women can be expressed in three words, “jealous, exacting, and suspicious.” He uses the character of Henry Higgins to the best to convey Shaw's unemotional, factual view of life in general. Change In Retreat On January 22, Father Robert Sullivan spoke to the senior home-room classes con- cerning the retreat. A major change this year is that only those seniors who are interested will attend. A voluntary system would assure the stu- dents of the proper atmosphere for prayer. Complete freedom would be given to the student for whatever he wished to do. The students will then understand the retreat more clearly if left alone to think about it. The senior class was given a list of dates available for the retreat. They gave their preference of these five choices: a one day re- treat on Saturday, a one day retreat on Sun- day, a one and a half day retreat starting the first Friday of the month in the after- noon and resuming on Saturday, a two-day retreat, or no retreat. The retreat will be given on a non-school day in order not to disturb other students and for a better, prayerful atmosphere. It Had To Happen It happened to Napoleon at Waterloo. It happened to General Custer at the hands of the Sioux. And to A1 Capone's foes on one St. Valen- tine’s Day. At the Alamo when Santa Anna didn’t get his way. It happened to Tom Dooley on a white oak tree. And now it’s going to happen to me. It happened because Napoleon and Custer weren't cautious enough. Because Capone on competition was very rough. It happened because some Texans valued freedom over life. It happened because Tom Dooley got too careless with his knife. My report card’s not the way I said that it would be And now it has to happen to me. Sam Engardio Future Nurses See TWA The Future Nurses Club took a tour through the T.W.A. Hostess Training Cen- ter Jan. 15. The club members were shown the galleys of both the modern jets and the older propeller driven planes. They were able to see where the food was stored and how it was prepared and served. They were also able to watch an actual practice session where student airline hostesses were serving steak dinners. An inside of a real airplane was used to give the hostesses actual ex- perience. The tour also included huge mil- lion dollar similators which are used to train pilots. These similators produce, as nearly as possible, the atmosphere of a real plane in flight. THE THEATRE Patty Dugan The Kansas City Circle Theatre is fea- turing “A Thousand Clowns,” February 17 to March 6. Running through February 11-19, the Kansas City University playhouse will pre- sent Dieluge. an opera featuring singers from the Conservatory of Music. SPECIAL SHOWINGS “Kansas City Collect” is on exhibit at the Nelson Art Gallery. This is a collection of some of Kansas City’s best paintings. Films are also being shown at Atkins Hall on Sundays at 2:30, February 7-28.Three of the shows featured are “Time in the Sun” (Mexican), “Orpheus, and “Testament of Orpheus” (French). Brenda Lee and the Casuals are being featured by “Mid America Teen” at the Municipal Auditorium, February 13. On February 28 Miege will hold their ever famous Mardi Gras. SPORTS Basketball (home games) February 12 February 19 February 20 February 26 February 27 Pern Day Maur Hill Southeast Sumner De La Salle March 2 Regional Tournament Lois Lane Hits Again “Hey they look like girls again!” This was the typical reaction of many of the Miege boys on January 19. A vast amount of girls have tried very vigorously to add that extra something to their everyday plain-jane uniform. Several attempts have been made. One, for instance, is the wild socks coming in all colors and patterns. Other popular “dresser uppers” is the Lois Lane shoulder bag (featured in Superman) and the discotheque hairbands that come in various colors. But, as fads most often do, these are slow- ly dying out. Student Congress then came to the rescue with a brilliant brainstorm which would offer the female students of Miege a change of pace. They established a color day in which all members of the student body could show their spirit by being clad in either red, white or blue. Student congress is hoping to have more of these days in the future. - 151 - Stag 'Toe-Men’ Falter With ten minutes left in the game and the score tied at 1-1, the Rockhurst Hawk- lets scored two quick goals to defeat the new- ly organized Miege soccer team 3-1 in the ankle deep mud of the Rockhurst soccer field. The first two quarters of the game showed the definite advantage of the Hawklets with their several seasons of experience over the Stags’ inexperience in their first season of play. Early in the third quarter, the Hawklets finally broke the scoring ice and tallied on a short inside kick. But the novice Stags quickly rebounded and scored as freshman forward Jack Tourk fired in a penalty kick from the twelve yard line. In the waning minutes of the game, it seemed that the Stags might have a chance to take a victory home, but the Hawklets defense held solid, and their offensive team clicked with two quick goals which were little bloopers from the side of the goalie’s box. Stags Crack Bears The Golden Bears of Turner were the victims of the Stags’ first victory as they were defeated 61-51 on their home courts. It was Miege’s first win in seven starts. The Stags grabbed an early 4-2 lead and increas- ed it to 16-9 at the end of the first quarter. Behind the scoring of Mike Pankey, the Bears evened the score at 29 all at half time. After intermission Miege built up a 48-40 third quarter lead; and, through good ball control, maintained it throughout the fourth quarter. Mike Pankey of the Bears was high scorer for the night with 17 points. Dennis Harris paced the Stags with 14 points, and center Dick Wall contributed 12 points and numer- ous rebounds to the Stag victory. Stags Clip Eagles 61-56 The Stags picked up their second victory of the season January 19, by defeating the Olathe Eagles 61-56 at the Eagles home court. High scorer for the night was senior guard Bob Nemeth whose hot hand produc- ed 17 points for the night. Joe Dold was second high with 15 points, and Dan Wat- kins added 12 to the cause. Senior Dick Wall pulled off 16 rebounds along with contribu- ting 10 points. The Stags zone defensive was quite ef- fective against the Eagles attack especially through the first and fourth quarters. The only serious threat to the Stag victory was Olathe's 6'4” senior center Doug Knop who was high scorer for the night with 19 points. Miege grabbed an early lead on Nemeth's expert shooting, and led throughout the first quarter. At half time the Stags trailed by three, but quickly evened the score and maintained a steady five point lead through- out the third and fourth quarters. Murphy Tallies 44 The Star's fourth ranked DeLaSalle Ti- tans squeezed past Miege 75-71, January 22, at the Stag's home court. The Titans’ strength centered around Dwight Murphy’s 44 point production for the night. Murphy was high scorer for the night, and set his new one-game record bettering his 42 point output in the St. Joseph Tournament. Mur- phy hit 10 of 12 fields goals in the first half, and finished with 18 of 30 for the night. Miege used the combined efforts of sen- iors Dick Wall and Dan Watkins who to- gether produced 21 points in the second half to keep the Stags in contention. Miege’s high scorer was Watkins with 19 points fol- lowed closely by center Dick Wall who fin- ished with 16. The Stag's season record now stands at two wins and eight losses. Defense Key for Rams The Stags fell victims to the Hogan Rams 72-63, January 9, at the Miege gym. The Stag downfall was a very unfruitful third quarter when they were unable to take ad- vantage of many scoring opportunities, and the deficit became too great to overcome. The Rams used a balanced attack against Miege's man-to-man defense. Hogan also capitalized at the charity line, hitting 21 free throws as opposed to Miege's 12. The Stags received good play from senior center Dick Wall who was Miege's high scorer for the night with 17 points along with 7 rebounds. Sophomore Joe Dold also aided the Stags with 15 points in the game, and captain Dan Watkins contributed 10 points. Fundamentals Stressed as JV’S Go 7-1 Credit is due to Coach O’Connell and his Junior Varsity squad who has thus far a 7-1 season under their belts. The squad has won seven straight and their only loss was their first game in which Argentine defeated them in an overtime game. Starting five usually consists of Bob Kellerman, Fat Doherty, Frank Martin, Mike Welch, and Dan De- Coursey. Coach O’Connell's main purpose is to build the basis for a strong 65-66 varsity squad. The main points which he Is stressing are first: rebounding; second: defense; and thirdly: team attitude. Team attitude is something often overlooked, and is some- what lacking in this year’s squad, thusly Coach O’Connell is stressing this factor to his younger players. With good possibilities coming up from the frosh squad, next year's starting posi- tions are still up for grabs; and Coach O’- Connell feels that a year round workout pro- gram, especially during this summer, would be beneficial to all who are bidding for these spots. With the momentum the team has picked up during the last few games. Coach feels that his squad can finish out this season un- defeated and end up with a 14-1 record. In all, possibilities for next year’s team are looking exceptionally good! Are You Kiddirf? Many of our avid sports fans have asked our sports department about the origin of the name soccer. As a public service, we are giving the following explanation. Lord Hubert Kickintheas, originator of the sport, was a lonely man. The only per- son who would play his game was his wife. Once he was questioned what he would do if his wife wouldn’t play, he said “I’d knock the tar out of her.” Now being a noble, as he was, he couldn’t let anything that candid into the newspapers, so he changed his word- ing just a little. Well, now you know the origin of the name of the game, so along with that use- less tidbit of information here are the intra- mural soccer standings and records: Nads 8-1 Braves 4-5 Luckouts 6-3 Big Bruisers 3-5 Eskimos 4-4 Rinks 3-6 Upcoming Games Feb. 12 Feb. 13 St. Pius Feb. 19 Maur HiU Feb. 20 Southeast Feb. 26 Sumner Feb. 27 De La Salle March 2 Regionals Home Game - 152 - MARCH 26. 1965 Stags Entertain For Charity Exile Enlightens Stags on Cuba • The United States is like my second country,” said Mr. Carlos DeNavarra, a 23 year old Cuban refugee, at a senior assembly on February 23. He left Cuba in 1959 repre- senting his country as a swimmer at the Pan American games and came to the United States because, as he said. “It was the only country which would admit Cubans. Mr. DeNavarra joined the Central Intel- ligence Agency when he arrived in America. He. along with 16 other men, were assign- ed to blow up a Texaco Company on the east coast of Cuba prior to the Bay of Pigs invasion of 1961. His group had no infor- mation on this plant other than aerial photo- graphs. B m : o Mr. DeNavarra responds to a question. After the invasion he went to Miami and asked to be allowed to continue making raids as a C.I.A. member. He did this for six months. Mr. DeNavarra commented, “The United States’ largest mistake in Cuba is the fact that it does nothing. Some believe Fidel Castro is a mad man, but on the contrary, he’s very intelligent. Castro was at the top of his class in high school and college.” In order for Americans to fight Commu- nism, they must first know their enemy. They (the Communists) are dedicated; whereas, the United States people take their government and Church for granted. The American public should organize a group to wipe out Communism. They should realize their ideals and know what they want. He urged the American citizens to get more information about Communism be- cause, as he states, We can't fight it until we know what it is. The teen-agers’ duty is to get organizations to investigate propa- ganda and protect the U.S. government.” On Sunday night, February 28, the Com- munity Service Committee presented a dis- play of Miege talent. Folksinging, dancing, pantomimes, were included in the program which followed the Mardi Gras. The talent show was open to the public and all pro- ceeds were donated to charity. Doug Irmen, chairman of the service com- mittee and Sister Martina were the chief Creed Contest In the interest of promoting the tradi- tion and conviction that will guide this school in years to come, the Miegian News Magazine will sponsor a school creed contest. The only requirements for entry are: 1. All entries must be original 2; No entry may exceed 100 words 3. All entries must be submitted to the office by April 12. talent scouts and organizers of the show. One of the highlights of the show was Jim McCauley’s impersonations. Jim, a senior, imitated everything from The Hoad-Runner to the mating call of the giraffe. The Outcasts, a rock-and-roll comix), com- posed of Dan Decoursey, Bob Dalton, Mike Roth and Mike Kearst '64, appealed to the young at heart with their interpretation of “Little Isatin Lupe Lu” and other immortal musical masterpieces of our times. Chris Claeys, a junior and a member of the Miege choir, sang two solos: I Rnjoy Being a Girl” and Love Look Away.” Other acts were: a pantomime of “That’s What 1 Like About the South by Debbie Spurk; a Panamanian folk dance by ex- change student Anita Bonavini; a drum solo by Bob Dalton; a pantomime by Barbara Metzger and another by Patty Dugan and Ed Larkin; I Aint Down Yet” from Un- sinkable Molly Brown by Pam Foster; folk- singing bv different groups, one composed of Diane Lusk, Susie Lickens, Barb Yeado, and Debbie Rubaloff, the other with Terry and Nancy Tipton and Susie Kelley; baton twirl- ing by Linda Sims. A Sanctioned Rape The recent visit of a Cuban exile brings to mind an unusual after- thought. Though the merit of his message may be somewhat questioned by those who aren’t tremendously concerned over the security of the Western Hemisphere, no one can question his justification for saying it. For that in- dividual, as well as thousands of his countrymen, were on the receiving end of one of the most brutal crimes ever executed in modern history. Yet, contrary to any premature conclusions on our part, the crime was not committed by Castro, Communism, or any other alien foe. It was com- mitted, as it is now being committed, by America itself and the formers of her foreign policy. It is the same crime that our journals record daily throughout the land, as average citizens ignore an assault of rape, justify- ing their indifference with the asinine statement that they don’t want to get involved. The parallel follows beautifully. The promising young executive in his red, white, and blue pin-stripe, expresses his regret, but he just can’t get involved because he has to spend all his time protecting the honor of his French mistress-Vietnam. And so, his kid sister, Cuba, is raped on his own front lawn. Thus, as we pour millions in men and material into Vietnam, into a cause which is just, but should be secondary, as Castro grows pro- gressively stronger and the security of the Western Hemisphere propor- tionately weaker, you can’t help but wonder if our present foreign policy will be discussed in years to come with similar terms. Terms that will con- vey an attitude that doesn’t want to get involved; and a policy that sanc- tions rape. Patriot Speaks Out In the interests of continuing the Patriot- ism tradition initiated by Student Congress, the following letter is being printed. Al- though the notably beautiful individual who submitted it was quick to shrink from the limelight and therefore couldn't be inter- viewed. we feel the letter should still be heard for what it's worth. Dear Editors: It is only with the overwhelming impetus of resolution that guides mere mortals such as I. that I take pen in hand to convey to you a message of monumental concern. In recent months my verbal versatility has borne the heavy brunt of Parliament and the King's disfavor, so much so that the weight of this burden has taxed me to the very tonsils. It is in vain, sir. to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry — Pronounce! Pro- nounce! But there is no pronouncement. The tedium of my indignant tongue has worn my voice box thin. The people are sleeping in the assemblies! Why stand we here wordless? What is it that the King wishes? What would he have? Is a laugh so dear or the taste of persecu- tion so sweet as to be purchased at the price of slams and slander? Forbid it in the name of the Quill and Scroll! I know not what course other martyrs may take; but as for me. give me unlimited access to the public ear, or commit me into the hands of the king and his followers! I remain in the name of America and motherhood. Satirically yours, Deborah P. Henry Can you identify this famous school cele- brity? You’ll find the answer in the ad pages. A Shade Of Difference The following letter was receiv- ed from the father of a sopho- more student here at Miege. The student, Cindy Bintz, came to Miege in the middle of October from Atlanta, Georgia, to assist her aunt whose husband was crit- ically ill. Since that time Cindy has not only carried her full course of studies, but has also very often the full burden of her aunt’s fam- ily TO THE STUDENTS AND FACULTY Not long ago on the streets of one of our largest cities, thirty or more people watched as a woman was murdered. The newspapers and the television exploited this crime charging the American peo- ple as being — Indifferent. When I think of my daughter I know this is not true. I feel I want to say this is my daughter in whom I am well pleased. I know also that the pressure of her responsibilities was lessened by the wonderful warmhearted people of Bishop Miege High School. The students rallying around her with friendship was in- spiring. The Sisters and lay teach- ers showering her with under- standing and love would warm the coldest heart. I am not ashamed of the tears in my eyes as I try to find the words to say thank you. Thank all the Miegians for being differ- ent, not indifferent. God will sure- ly bless you.

THE MIEGIAN- March 26, 1965. - 154 - A Cause for Concern At the Congress meeting of a month ago, almost the entire meeting was concerned with lounge legislation. This legisla- tion included an automatic 10 points for those caught defacing anything in the lounge, the privi- lege of the lounge being denied to the freshmen for the first month of the year, the lounge being clos- ed at any time the committee deems necessary, and a special court of peers who would decide cases involving violations of the rules governing lounge behavior. Many believe that closing the lounge or similar action is pun- ishing the majority for actions by the minority. This legislation, we hope, will punish this minority who so far have caused 700 dollars worth of damage and have broken or defaced every piece of lounge furniture that could have been broken or defaced. But certainly as guilty as this vandal minority is the group who sit, watch, and do nothing. For The Lounge this reason, any legislation bent upon punishing this minority will fail. It is the complacent majority which has allowed this damage to be done. There are few ways this group can be reached. One of the ways, and perhaps the only way, is a strict honor code in which anyone who allows this damage to be done is liable to the same pun- ishment as the vandal himself. This system may seem too harsh, but something must be done. As We See Jt Doug Irmen is to be congratulated for his excellent direction of the Talent Show. We found Jim McCauley’s vocal impressions particularly clever. It is a shame that the in- sensitivity of the audience prevented us from hearing all of the other acts. • • • • Prom should be a part of established school tradition and should include all jun- iors and seniors. No prom can be considered perfect until everyone can go. • • • • Due to the tremendous wealth of leader- ship in both the boys and the girls of the junior class, it is now necessary to disre- gard any stereotyped, preconceived notions concerning the ability to perform in a giv- en position depending upon sex. Miege has never had a girl treasurer or girl vice- president although a number have quali- fied and ran. Mostly these girls lost, not because they lacked the ability, but because no one really considered them for these po- sitions and thus did not vote for them. This year’s juniors more than any other have an equal potential of strength in both sexes. If girls are only considered for secretaries, two girls who lost are wast- ed. These are qualified girls who could, per- haps. win if run in another student con- gress position. We hope this year’s nomi- nating committee realizes this fact and will nominate both girls and boys for all positions and functions of leadership. • • • • The freshmen are to be thanked for vol- unteering for the rather unpleasant and bor- ing task of watching purses and coats during the remaining mixers. This is typical of this class’s initiative and responsibility in dealing with such school projects. • • • • A comment from a senior Miege ex- changee: “Due to the interest and enthusiasm of the Central students. I feel that the Miege exchangees to Central benefited more than the Central exchangees. I also feel that if there were more interest on the part of both Miege students and faculty, our exchange would have been more beneficial to every- one. Miege students and faculty displayed a definite lack of interest.” Nominations Soon-Let Your Voice Be Heard - 155 - There are several clubs, academic and non-academic, which have been established here at Miege. Since the beginning ot the school year these clubs have taken part in different projects or have projects planned for future meetings. The Creative Writing Club held a contest open to the entire student body. This con- test was sponsored by Scholastic Magazine. The contest ended February 15. Rosalind Eckstrom has been busy with the Tams she started this year. The club held a party February 19 at the K. U. Med- ical Center for retarded children and at- tended area grade and junior high schools. Mrs. Carol Schneider, moderator of the Physical Science Club, has kept the club busy with two complex projects. The first project was the construction of an iodine clock. A study of radiation's effect on inner organs was the second major project. This project was an observation of twelve mice, ten of which were subjected to radiation. After this treatment, dissection was then the means of observing both the exposed and non-exposed animals. The Drama Club featured a guest speaker from the Circle Theater who explained what is involved in the production of a play. At the February 16 meeting, members present- ed mock interpretations of various T.V. commercials to the cluh. The Pep Club has taken part in a number of very successful projects this year. One of their annual projects, the decoration of the gym for homecoming, was thought to be a big success by most of the Stags who at- tended the dance. The Christmas drive was also successful. The Pep Club has plans for a future project in May. The Future Nurses Club has been espe- cially active this year. They have gone on tours, as well as having several guest speak- ers ranging from medical technicians to members of the Papal Volunteers. On Feb- ruary 5, the club pins, carrying the club in- signia, were distributed. Ron Theis, president of the Letter man’s Club, led a discussion on the torture tech- niques which were to be employed at the club's initiation ceremony March 5. The club also had their traditional jail at the Mardi Gras. Plans are now being made for Field Day. The Junior Math Club sponsored a mixer January 29, featuring the Outcasts. Sister Philip has kept the members of PoVo active with various projects, among them the daily singing of Lauds in the chap- el at 8:10. A guest speaker. Father Vincent Krische, addressed the club concerning vo- cations. The annual Christmas dinner was held extending an open invitation to the priests and nuns of the faculty. No Daltonus. . Do teachers just confuse you? Are assign- ments getting you down? Do tests seem to he taken from another book? Well then - try being your own teacher. Impossible? Well think again, for some freshmen Latin students are doing just that. Educators have long realized that lectur- ing causes the students to be chiefly passive, which limits their freedom of decision and often causes a lack of interest. Being the nonconforming psychology scholar that he is. Mr. Pat Dalton decided to allow his 5th hour I atin class to actually teach themselves - without having him pre- sent in the room. He feels that this method permits the students to know where they stand and thus helps them realize just what obstacles they have to overcome. When one of the students says he doesn’t understand part of the material, another one will respond Oh, I got that point.’’ He will then explain it on the level that the other freshman can comprehend. The students therefore get the attention they need and in the process become un- ashamed to ask questions. Christians and Jews Unite Two Worlds The National Conference of Christians and Jews has as its main purpose to bring together people of different races and reli- gions to discuss their individual problems and answers concerning discrimination and prejudice. Miege is taking part in NCCJ’s activities, with Dehbie Linton as executive member from Miege. Paul Sittenfeld, Pern Day senior and Pres- ident of NCCJ, has introduced the idea for the club to meet the St. Louis delegation in Columbia. Missouri, for the purpose of dis- cussing mutual problems of the two cities. The latest plan is to have the NCCJ sponsor a premiere production of King I ear” with the cast headed by Robert Spaeght, a mem- ber of Old Vic. All proceeds from this bene- fit performance would go for a scholarship to be given to a graduating high school sen- ior interested in some Field of human rights. NCCJ will present the play, Some of My Best Friends Are,’’ at Miege on April 2 in an all school assembly. The performers will be students from local high schools. In the Kansas City area, other high schools participating in NCCJ’s activities are Pern Day, Shawnee Mission East, North, and West, Rockhurst, Southwest, Lillis, Center, Notre Dame de Sion, Loretta, St. Theresa’s High School. - 156 - .No “Latinitis” Besides learning a language, they learn how to take on self responsibility. The assign- ments are given and corrected by the stu- dents themselves. They are not handed in but are only recorded as being completed. As one girl said, It penetrates more if we write an assignment. When a teacher assigns an assignment, you feel you don’t have to do it. But when one of your fellow students assigns it, you have to do it or lose face in their eyes. Actually I think that we are harder on ourselves than a regular teacher would be. About every two weeks, a student makes up a test for the rest of her group of six or seven. They take turns in writing the test and thus in not taking it. Do they study? Yes, we feel guilty if we don’t.’’ Comical comments are frequently made and appreciated. No one is ever seen doing homework from another class during I atin. They say that they don’t want to break the trust that has been placed upon them as freshmen. Do the students really learn the subject matter? Evidently, for they are given the same major tests as the students who hold regular teaching classes; and do as well or better on them. They learn as fast as they perceive a need to learn! They might spend one day on a certain chapter and a week on another one. Their pace is set by what they can handle, which is usually quite a bit. A tentative conclusion seems to be that, except for resource purposes, teachers aren’t needed. That’s all right, though; for the dog obedience schools are doing a booming bus- iness and always need instructors. Quill And Scroll Quill and Scroll, the international honor- ary society for high school journalists, was organized on April 10, 1926 at Iowa State University. The Society was founded for the purposes of raising standards and directing the course of high school journalism. Since its organization. Quill and Scroll has granted charters to over seven thousand high schools in this country and abroad. Charters given to high schools are based on the quality of the school publication. Since 1963 Miege has had a nationally recognized chapter of Quill and Scroll. The organization states its purposes are (1) to inspire members of the staff to great- er efforts; (2) to attract students of high ability to publication work by offering them journalistic recognition and honors; (3) pro- vide the incentive for the development of the journalism department and the improve- ment of school publications; (4) secure great- er recognition of journalism.” From Reinhardt Drive to Indiana Ten Miege students participated in an exchange program with Central High School on February 16 as a part of Brotherhood week. Qualifications Questions have risen as to how these stu- dents were chosen for this exchange pro- gram. The choices were based on the an- swers of the essay questionnaire which was distributed by Ken North, chairman of the exchange program. The number of students chosen was limited to ten - four seniors, two juniors, two sophomores, and two freshmen. The applicants were required to write two essay questions: Why I want to be an ex- change student. What I hope to gain from the exchange. Sister Georgetta especially looked for reference made to the racial aspect. Having narrowed the selection somewhat in this manner, she then considered general character, attitude toward school life, studies, and personality traits of the applicant. An- other very important characteristic consid- ered for the exchange program was the ease with which the person would meet other in- dividuals. A further consideration was cent- ered around the student's willingness to share his experiences with other Miegians. Sister explained it was extremely difficult to decide in many cases because of the simi- larities in the answers. The ten students who represented Miege at Central were: seniors. Bob Bucholtz, Pat- ti O'Neil, Allan Pinne, Sharon Tompson; juniors, John Sandefur and Judy Zomparelli; sophomores, Linda Hoffman and Maureen Stapleton; freshmen, Bruce Marshall and Lisa Miller. Miege At Central These students attended the classes of an appointed Central host for the day of Feb- ruary 16. Thus Central student escorted the Miegian through one of his average class days. The Miege students were able to ob- serve students, faculty, teachers' methods, facilities and organizations. The students Tryouts For those girls interested in tryouts for B-team and varsity cheerleader, there are a few qualifications which must be met. First, any girl trying out must have a C average. This will be checked by the third quarter grades only. Second, you must have attended the required games and thus be an active member of the pep-club. A paper wrill be posted in the foyer be- fore Easter so that all girls wanting to try out may sign up. The varsity cheerleaders will conduct a clinic so that interested girls may learn the prescribed cheers. were extensively questioned by the Central students. The questions varied from that of religion and are Catholics really snobs to why are there three colors of uniforms at Miege (gray, red, green). Central students seemed extremely interested in the Student Lounge. The questions raised were essential in establishing a successful exchange. Central at Miege On February 18 ten Central students were then welcomed to Miege. These students ob- served, participated and compared an aver- age day at Miege to their daily curriculum. The Miege students who acted as hosts gave our visitors the opportunity to observe the various courses open to a Miegian. As in all new projects things didn't al- ways run as smoothly as expected. Adjust- ments will need to be made to better benefit the schools participating in future programs. Achievers Enter Business World Nine years ago, in 1956, the first Junior Achievement center opened its doors to the Achievers” in Kansas City. Today there are three J. A. centers, over fifty company advisors, and almost two thousand teenagers participating in Junior Achievement opera- tions in this area. Once a week each company, with an aver- age of twenty members, meets to discuss product sales, future plans, and financial accomplishments of the past weeks. Each company has two advisors (who don’t active- ly participate in corporation practices) a Board of Directors, a President, a Vice-pres- ident of Sales, a Vice-president of Manu- facturing, Secretary, Treasurer, and any other officers which are deemed necessary by the individual companies. Operations be- gin in early October, continue through the winter months, and are liquidated in early May. Special events in J. A. during the year in- clude sales contest, regional and national conventions, the Mr. and Miss Executive campaign, the mid-winter Ball, an Execu- tive banquet in late April, and several na- tional conferences during the summer. There are two special companies in this city. They are the Main Street Achievers Bank, counseled by the K. C. Federal Re- serve Bank, which handles the savings of the companies, and the Achiever, a newspaper counseled by the Kansas City Star which prints news of Junior Achievement. Miegans participating in the program this year include Pam Amoneno, Susan Dug- gins, Jim Dyer. Jim Heilman, Carol Jones. Sandy Lenihan, Joyce Miles. Pat F. Mur- phy. Kathie Powell. Michele Nicholas. Kar- yn Odrowski, Mike Reed, Pat Reed. Leslie Rohr and Kathy Stiles. - 157- THE THEATRE On March 25 and 26 in the Terrace Room auditorium at the Ward Parkway shopping center, The Fantasticks will be presented.

Russia Pulls Ahead in Grace Race Keeping A Platon Place During Lent, more than any other time of the year, complaints fly about our strict laws of mortification. Because of this pro- longed period of penance many of us look at our supposedly less-religious Russian com- rades with a touch of envy. In Russia, however, the I enten custom is the most meager of all European nations. The traditional fast consists of: no meat, no fish, no milk, no butter, no eggs, no sugar or candy. The diet during this period consists of bread made with water and salt, vege- tables, raisins, honey, and raw fruit. We need not show the Russians sympathy because of their severe eating habits; from what we have been told they don’t eat much better than this the rest of the year. As if this were not enough sacrifice, up to the twentieth century all secular music in this country ceased during Lent. During the first and last weeks all public amusements were forbidden, though it is doubtful that anyone could be amusing on their diet. Furthermore, the faithful kept a specially strict fast during the whole week preceding their Easter confession. Starting on Monday, they attended two services a day. Before the present regime, it was the cus- tom after midnight benediction on Holy Saturday night to bless the Easter bread. It was then taken back to the home and given a place of honor on the Easter breakfast table. Easter was always a great day in Rus- sia for exchanging gifts. In addition to their joy over the religious significance of the feast, the Russians used this season of the year to thank God for the beginning of the disap- pearance of the snow and ice of their long bitter winters. So when you begin to suffer from chronic Lentenitis, just be thankful that you have more to look forward to on Easter Sunday than a dinner of bread made with water and salt, vegetables, raisins, honey, and raw fruit. Plato is one philosopher who should be discussed in any intellectual column. How- ever, since this is not an intellectual column, we will not discuss him. But we will talk about the famous philosophy Platonism and its author, Platon (Plato’s little brother). Platon is probably the least known and most underrated genius to live in ancient Greece. Yet, by his accomplishments and services to mankind, he ranks with such ancient heros as Aristotle. Gluteus Maxi- mus. and Charleton Heston. However, Plat- on’s great life had a humble beginning in a log cabin in the foothills of the present Mount Olympus, near the small town of Ax- el, Greece. His mother wrestled lions and his father made Trojan horses. Yet. despite such lucrative professions, Platon’s family lived in poverty, thanks largely to his father, who lost about 1500 drachmas a week on the chariot races. It was in correcting the fam- ily’s financial situation that Platon first showed signs of genius. As a boy, Platon spent most of his time in Leavenworth. No, I mean romping through the hills near his home. His favorite hill was ’Possem Knob where he spent hours playing and talking to his imaginary friends. One day he came in after such an outing, and his mo- ther asked him in her usual tender tones, “Where ya been and what ya been doin’?” Attention Senior Girls! Deadline for applications for the Mike Judge Fan Club is March 31. Consider- ation of applications for this highly se- lective society will be based on beauty, poise, and personality. A five dollar fee must accompany each application. Miegians become acquainted with Central exchange students before school. “Oh,” said Platon, “I’ve been up on ’Pos- sum Knob playing with Zeus and Apollo.” Are they good kids?' asked his mom. “No, but they’re good gods,” said Platon in reply. Platon went on to tell his mom about all his other friends and told stories about how each of these gods represented a certain thing. One god represented the sun and an- other represented a potted petunia and still another might represent some typical human trait such as insanity. Well these tales spread throughout the countryside and reached clear to Athens. Platon's parents took ad- vantage of this by changing the name ’Pos- sum Knob to a more sophisticated one like Mount Olympus. They also set out a huge neon sign that could be seen for miles. It read: Welcome to Mount Olympus, The Home of the Gods.” They set up a chair lift and charged 30 drachma for adults and 15 drachmas for children to go up on Mount Olympus and visit the gods. On a clear day one could see seven states. Thanks to Plat- on’s ingenuity or insanity, one of the two, his family became independently wealthy. With this Platon had enough money to attend his brother's school, the Academy. At Plato's school Platon studied basket weaving, snakecharming, and nuclear radion biophysics. Upon his graduation Platon was one of the most learned men in the Medi- terranean World. He wrote several best-sellers, among them was To Kill an Albatross, copyright 397 B.C. This book dealt with the discrimination against the Vikings. Although they were not being discriminated against at all. the book nevertheless aroused a raging controversy, much to Platon’s delight. But much to Plat- on’s dislike was a lawsuit filed by Eric the Red for seven million krona. Platon also had much scientific interest. This is shown in a famous story often told about Platon. One day Platon was sitting beneath an apple tree with nothing much on his mind but some olive brances. Then suddenly an apple broke loose from an over- head branch, plummeted downward, and konked Platon on his aristocratic noggin. This incident started Platon to thinking about why this apple fell downward. He picked up the apple and took a bite. Sud- denly it came to him, indigestion, no, I mean he found it was a rotten apple. This recalled an ancient law which states that bad apples settle to the bottom of the barrel. Platon re- vised this law and called it Platon’s first law. It stated: “Bad apples will settle to the bottom whether they’re in a barrel or not.” The best known postulate of Platonism was published 1900 years before Columbus discovered Miami Beach; yet it states: The world is not flat, it is very bumpy.” In summary, it must be said that Platon’s debt to mankind can never be liquidated. - 158 - Track Preview According to Mr. Art Zimola, track coach, this year promises to be the best in the his- tory of Miege’s seven year track program. There are a number of seniors returning this year plus an unusually large junior squad. The sophomores are also represented with six top individuals. This year's team will be led by Greg Wil- son in the mile, Mike Judge in the relays, Matt Orr in the sprints and relays, Boh Numrich in the high jump, Jim Shannon and Dale Rohr in the pole vault, Mike Mance in the shot, javelin, and broad jump. Terry Pyle, Bill Dunn, and Jim Bock will run the half-mile. Coach Zimola says, “We have the person- nel to break the school records in the mile, 880 relay, half-mile, medley relay, mile relay, discus, broad jump, high jump, and pole vault. Barring injury to key personnel, we are sure to have a successful season.” This year’s returning lettermen are: Lon- nie Anwander, John Cain. Bill Dunn, Mike Finnerty, Dennis Harris, Mike Judge. Mike Mance, Bob Numrich, Terry Pyle, Dale Rohr, Jim Shannon, Greg Wilson. This year’s freshman team is also loaded with talent, and a successful season is ex- pected. Some will double up and participate in the J V meets. There are several fine dis- tance runners among the freshmen. Al- though the squad is not the largest, it may well be the best freshman team that Miege has ever had. It makes the track program look good for the future. This year’s varsity schedule is the most competitive in Miege track history. March 30, Washington Dual; April 3, Wash- ington Relays; April 6, De La Salle Dual; April 9, Miege Invitational; April 13, Wyan- dotte County Relays; April 20, Argentine Relays; April 23, Shawnee Mission Relays; April 27, Rockhurst Dual; April 30, Law- rence Invitational; May 8, Regionals: May 14-15, State Outdoor-Wichita. Six meets are scheduled for both the jun- ior varsity and the freshman teams. Mie e Track Records EVENT NAME T-H-D High Hurdles L. Rouse 15.5 100 yd. Dash J. Barnard 10.2 Mile Run P.

Their only defeat of the season came at the hands of the Rockhurst Hawklets, a team the frosh had defeated twice earlier in the season. The Frosh” Stags showed promise early in the season by winning the Rockhurst Freshman Tournament over the Christmas holidays. The primary reason for the team’s good showing this year, according to Mr. Reardon, was the good team depth. There were only a few games all season where one or two of the regulars were not sick and unable to play.” Several of the Freshmen were moved up to the Junior Varsity team toward the end of the season. John Dold, Rick Cain, Leroy McCall, and Terry English all gave good ac- count of themselves with the upperclassmen. Terry English was particularly impressive as a defensive player in the Freshmen and Jun- ior Varsity games and eventually saw limit- ed action on the Varsity squad. The Frosh certainly have something to be proud of with their impressive record, but at the same time they have presented them- selves with a problem—Miegians are expect- ing great things in the next three years from the Class of 68”. With the conclusion of the regular season. Coach Schmiedler announced the Letter Award winners for this year’s varsity effort. They are: .Seniors Dick Wall, Dan Watkins, and Bob Nemeth; Junior Fat Doherty; and Sophomores Joe Dold, Mike Doeren, and John McMillian. Junior Varsity awards go to Dan DeCour- sey, Dennis Bova. Gerry Gleissner, Bob Kel- lerman, Mike Rhoades, Mike Welch, Chris Ripper, Dennis Conaghan. and Tom Koob. Along with these awards also go several special awards: Dick Wall. The Most Val- uable Player and Most Improved Player, and Dan Watkins, Best Defensive Player. - 159 - Perhaps you haven’t heard the story about the basketball forward who blew his little All-American hopes and cost his team the national championship by losing the knee pads he was internationally known for. His name was Double Dribble Bob Kneepad and he played for Wattsamata U. On the day be- fore Wattsamata’s championship game, Bob lost his famed knee pad in a betting scandal to the coach’s wife. Not long after the season. Double Drib- ble’s coach, Rebound Freethrow, gave up coaching on advice of his psychiatrist. Dr. Hypodemic Nerdal. Now Rebound, you must forget the past season and begin concentrating on your fu- ture. Have you thought about what you would like to do or try to do?” Well, I’ve thought about running for the United States Senate or else becoming a basketball referee.” “Ah-h-h,” mused the Doctor. On the other hand,” broke in Rebound, “the more I think about it, I’d rather be- come a teakettle or an electric dollar bill.” Well, this only goes to prove that if you ever want a First class referee, or even a first class electric dollar bill just find the nearest basketball coach whose entire team wears knee pads. Once again, as a public service, our re- search staff has come up with another little tidbit of useless information. It seems that they were wrong when they said that Lord Hubert Kickin was the inventor of soccer. It was really his wife, Lady Rolles Royce Chevrolet. Lord Hubert was actively involv- ed in slave trade, blackmail, and shoplifting, and he is actually accredited with the in- vention of the action sports of Scrabble, Witch Burning, The Rack, and Outdoor Track. Not only are these among his credits, but he is also known for his founding of a leader dog school which trained live Cobras as leader dogs, they weren’t particularly bright or well mannered, but they were aw- fully well fed and nobody ever hesitated to make way for his master as they went for a walk. Spartan’s Win Makes 17-1 Season Fourth ranked Sumner exploded for a 63 point second and third quarter total to rush past the Miege Stags 95-59 in the Stag’s home Field house. During the first quarter, it seemed as though the Stags had a Fighting chance to contain the Spartans as the First quarter ended with a 14-9 score, but suddenly the Spartans opened up on offense and shut off the Miege hopes. High scorer for the evening was Ernest Lewis with 26 points followed closely by teammate Don Moore with 22 points both of Sumner. Miege’s high scorer for the eve- ning was sophomore John McMillian who collected 15 points. In the Independant lineup, the Spartan’s record stands at 17-1, while the Stags record has slumped to a 4-13. ‘Winners’ Take K.C. Tourney A team of Miege boys went undefeated in eight games to capture the Kansas City Boys Basketball Tournament Title. The tournament was held at Southwest High School gym and consisted of 18 teams from the Greater Kansas City area. The team, aptly named the Winners, was the only squad which didn’t have organized practices, a coach, sponsors or matching uni- forms. The squad consisted of Dennis Har- ris, Jim Glennon, Jim Chrzanowski, Ron Thies, and Bob Numrich, all of Miege. This only goes to show that the coaching and practice doesn’t make the team, but team work and spirit do. No Joy In Mudville Listen my friends, and you shall hear Of a day that was neither sunny nor clear. ‘Twas the Eighth of February in ’65 The two teams at the Miege Field did arrive. All remember that day and year. When De La Salle played Miege here. In a great soccer contest they did engage To kick and kill and drive coaches to rage. ‘Twas a muddy Field and a rainy day But the thrilling games started without delay; There was mud to the right of them, mud to the left of them Before and behind them ’twas the same. But the Stags played hard as they could this game. Onward, on ward, charged the blackened Stags Never discouraged by De La Salle, They fought as hard as they could From the start of the game to the grand finale. Somewhere hearts are happy, And somewhere skies were blue, But there was no joy for our muddy Stags. De La Salle won, four to two. Sam Engardio Stags Crush Red Raiders The Stags scored a decisive victory and led all the way in doing it as they overpower- ed the Pern Day Raiders 80-57 on the loser’s court, Feb. 12. Deadly First-half accuracy and a tight de- fense led by Dan Watkins and Joe Dold help- ed in paving the way to a 35-25 half-time margin. During the third quarter, the Stags open- ed up on offense and smothered the Raiders’ 22-12 to take a 57-37 lead. High scorer of the evening was sophomore forward Joe Dold who tallied 20 points and grabbed numerous rebounds. Along with Joe in the scoring column were sophomores Mike Doren and John McMillian who scored 13 and 14 points respectively. Pern Day’s big gun for the game was Chris Stacey who finished the evening with a strong 15 points. This moved the Stags vic- tory record to three and prolonged the Raid- ers’ losing streak to four. Soccer Finale With a Final crack and kick, the Stags new- ly formed soccer team ended its first season with a defeat at the hands of the Rockhurst Hawklets 3 to 1 at Rockhurst, leaving the Stags’ record at 0-3-2. But this record hardly tells the story of the entire season. Throughout the entire season, the Stags consistently kept up with and even out- played their opponents only to drop the ball game in the final minutes on an errant kick or a well placed block on the goalie. Next year’s outlook for a successful sea- son seem very bright and we may well see the formation of an interscholastic league, Miege included. Much of next year’s responsibility relies upon some of this year’s returning starters. Among them: John Fleskes, Jim Bock, Jack Toulek, Mike Mercer, Terry Dunn, Bernie Bianchino, Larry Svoboda only to mention a few. Vikings Fight Off Stags The Miege Stags fought the Southeast Vikings throughout the First three quarters only to see the Vikings pull away in the clos- ing minutes to a 54-45 victory February 20 on our home court. Senior center Dick Wall was Miege’s high scorer for the evening with 18 points. How- ever, his effort was equalized by Southeast's John Allured who collected 19 points and led the Vikings to the Final victory. Sophomore starters Joe Dold and Mike Doeren both pumped in seven points apiece for the Stags. This setback leaves the Stags with a 4-11 record up until now. - 160 - ...the Miegian... VOLUME 7 ISSUE 7 APRIL 26, 1965 Departments Explain Awards To Be Given At Assembly On May 13 at the Awards Assembly, four different types of awards will be presented to those students the Awards Committee deems worthy of special recognition. The first of these are the Scholastic Awards giv- en to the boy and girl with the highest grade average from the freshman, sophomore, jun- ior, and senior classes. Next will be the Ser- vice Awards given to students who demon- strate outstanding and unselfish service to others. Each department may also present an award for exceptional performance in that field. The Business Department Award will go to the outstanding senior girl who has taken two years of shorthand, at least one year of typing, and secretarial science. The highest average of all business courses in ad- dition to the above determines the recipient. The student having the highest grade average for four years of English at Miege will receive the English Award. The Art Award will be given to a second- year art student who through effort and talent achieves the highest degree of origi- nality, creativity, and art quality. The stu- dent must also use his talent for the benefit of the school. The student having all required projects completed and work of superior quality will be honored by the Home Economics De- partment. The Industrial Arts Award is given for a two year sequence of work. The student must have maintained a B average and ex- hibited exceptional co-operation. For the Latin Award, the student must have taken three years of the language and achieved the highest grade average during these three years. Any freshman, sophomore, junior, or sen- ior may receive the Mathematics Award. Requirements are a B average in Math, out- standing class participation, original and creative thinking, and an original paper or proof. The choice is made by the math fa- culty. In the Modern Language Department, the student must have taken two years of Spanish or French and maintained a B aver- age to receive its award. In the field of Physical Education an award will be presented to the student who has proved himself outstanding in the fol- lowing areas: attitude, behavior, improve- ment, class interest, ability, leadership, co- operation, knowledge, and sportsmanship. The Social Science Award requires three years of social science, a B average during the three year sequence, and exceptional interest and co-operation. The final division will be the Aquinas Awards, the highest honor Miege can be- stow on a student. Aquinas winners are de- termined by the faculty and is given to 4% of the senior class, which will be ten stu- dents this year. Consideration for this award is based on: 1. ) scholastic achievement according to ability 2. ) unselfish service to the school 3. ) courtesy 4. ) character The sixteen nominees this year are: Terry Alley, Cheryl Bartkowski, Dianna Carr, Mary Espinosa. Rosalind Eckstrom, Don Fortin, John Holtz. Doug Irmen, Mike Judge. Nancy Kopek, Judi I andis, Jim Lud- wiskowski, Ken North, Ken Sokol, Fred Silady, and Susan Wood. Stags Recognized For Achievements During the year, only a few students are given recognition for their achievements. There are many students who are not recog- nized, but should be. TEACHERS OF THE DEAF Sarah Wisneski and Linda Krause, two seniors, teach religion to the Deaf in Olathe each Monday evening with Sr. Baptista, freshman English teacher, and Sr. Patrick, fifth grade teacher at St. Agnes. Mary Ellen Roache, a junior, also teaches the deaf in Olathe. WRITERS FOR PAPERS Senior Debbie Linton, co-editor of the Miegian, has been awarded membership to the Extension Magazine’s teen board. She also received a certificate of merit for her five-hundred word essay on racial preju- dice. She competed with high school stu- dents all over the United States. Through her work, she received national recognition. Each year, members of the journalism staff write for area newspapers. This year seniorPatti O’Neil writes for the Eastern Kansas Register; JuJu Barnard, a senior, submits articles to the Scout. For her second year, senior Candy Me I oughlin writes for the Johnson County Herald. Although not a member of the journalism staff, junior Nancy Miller writes for Mid-American Teen.

This year has been extremely strong insofar as the internal machinery of school projects was concerned. But the public image of Miege in regard to students in large numbers if promoted formally, mainly through the Stu- dent Congress Service Committee and to a lesser degree in the Exchange Program. Accordingly, most of these improvements have to do with the building of a more powerful public image of Miege through a fuller partici- pation of students in school projects. A few, however, only concern improve- ments within the school. Improvements within Miege More emphasis could be placed on scholarship if the N.H.S. would fin- alize its rules and requirements for membership and would publicize the determinants for the honor roll. And now the public image The remaining improvements concern the public image of the school— its effectiveness and participation in dealing with school sponsored activities and projects themselves. The first of these suggestions for improvements has become rather trite but it still must be said, that is, a revision and revitalization of beautifica- tion plans and ideas. Projects to widen Miege, we think, needs ideas and projects which would widen and ex- tend the goals of the student body. A discussion group of both students and teachers alike concerned with current ideas on such subjects as literature, music, art, and events of the day could be set up. Groups such as the National Conference of Christians and Jews or some similar group which would promote understanding of conflicting ideas should and could become a definite influence on student life. With a fuller and deeper understanding of people different from ourselves, a more effec- tive exchange program could be accomplished. Another project which would stimulate interest in dramatics would be a school play, particularly a play of professional standing. Still another project which would combine culture, service and enter- tainment at Miege could be a social club for girls. Girls in the club, besides working on service projects, could also plan to attend concerts, theatres, the Ice Capades, social teas, etc. Because there will be, it is hoped, a great number of girls interested in participating in this group, it is believed that tickets for these events could be purchased at greatly reduced prices. And paid assemblies of an entertaining or educational nature would raise money for student projects. These assemblies could include guest cele- brities such as United States senators or entertainers. We publish these improvements now in the hope that some of these ideas could be incorporated into an election platform and would become effective next year. This list is by no means complete. None of these ideas are impossible, we feel, and a little effort and imagination would help them be accomplished. SON OF BULLWINKLE (Dateline: Frostbite Falls.

Because you are the Ann Landers of the moose world, 1 have decided to ask your But Not Regret Because graduation is little more than one month away, it is time now to look hack not with regret or sadness but merely to look back. Freshman year memories are comprised of such things as “Rome was divided in three parts”, a man teaching girls phys. ed and having Sister De Lourdes as a modera- tor. High School was, indeed different from eighth grade. Sophomore year seemed more than just an extension of the past year — we were called upperclassmen now and looked down upon the freshmen . Biology notebook, My Ego and I and another play for speech called The First Dress Suit, and getting up at 6:00 o’clock for split sessions are part of sophomore memories. Junior year memories have to do with such things as preparing for Prom-being nagged about class dues-and Grecian Rhap- sody, but also there were important things such as running fellow classmates for stu- dent congress officers. Our memories from this year are com- pounded of many things. Tests became of great concern to us, P.S.A.T. and A.C.T. There were other things, too, our winning in a “Merry Christmas” shouting contest conducted by Terry Alley; but our losing of the ad campaign to the juniors. Now graduation is foremost in our minds. And this time is to look forward but not to close the past behind us. We now realize that the past we have with us always - not only to remember but also to love.

If Nothing Else A Legacy It is traditional, in the closing edition of any one particular volume of a paper or periodical, that the overall merit of the area it treated be evaluated. So must it be with this, the last edition of The Miegian’s seventh volume. Initially, if we were to consider the ap- parent merits of this school year, first im- pression would be classified as a bust. Plagued by conditions often beyond our control, the student body witnessed a fairly consecutive series of failures. Applying the standards of the average high school student, Miege just didn’t quite measure up this year. It didn’t measure up because there supposedly was a critical shortage of athletic victories, because the debate and Categories teams fell far short of expectations, and because Miege has just seen better years. The Editorial Staff is inclined to agree that, by high school standards. Miege didn't quite measure up. However, Miege is not a school that can be measured by average high school stand- ards; in fact, it is a school of unaverage students who are expected to live by much higher standards. Thus, the so-called failures that were pre- viously mentioned must fall by the wayside. A different yardstick is required to mea- sure the success of Bishop Miege in the 1964-65. That yardstick, and its standards, must somehow measure the merits of a school that concerns itself with a different type of victory. Our apologies to Student Congress and the Student Body for a misquotation print- ed in the Lounge editorial of the last edi- tion. The article incorrectly stated that $700 worth of damage had been done to the lounge, an amount far in excess of the actual total. Efforts are now being made to restore diplomatic relations between the typists and the editors to prevent such mistakes in the future. (Come to think of it-this is the last edition. What future?! • ••• Certainly the debt the student body owes to many of the faculty and the various mod- erators can never be effectively expressed. However, we do feel we’re justified in ex- tending to Sr. Martina, the Student Con- gress moderator, and Sister Marie Therese. choir moderator, a special word of thanks for the tremendous services they have per- formed in those capacities. They are typical of those who accomplish much, inconspic- uously. • • • • Another round of apologies goes to the The efforts of a student body that rallies behind a successful ad campaign, projecting it far beyond expectation, must be consider- ed. The unparalled generosity of the student body that gives time and effort to help the less fortunate during the Christmas season must also be considered. A school’s desire to open its door to other students and to send its representatives to other schools, plays an important part in that measurement. And finally, the willingness of so many A 3inal Zbought Student Body for a typographical error con- tained in the Attention Senior Girls!” ar- ticle on page six of the last edition.

After seven years of experience. Bishop Miege has generally shown a talent for picking the better ones. Now the time for se- lections and elections is fully upon us. The Editorial Staff sincerely encourages all of the candidates as well as their sup- porters to push for a hard-hitting campaign that concentrates on platforms and policies rather than personalities. • • • • The play. Some Of My Best Friends, was presented to a small group of senior religion classes on April 5 by the National Confer- ence of Christians and Jews. Although the overall effect of such a presentation, which exposes the hypocrisy of racial and religious - 163 - J.fcH. students to sacrifice their personal goals for the betterment of the school's community image must definitely fall within these meas- urements. If nothing else, Miege has earned for it- self a legacy. A legacy that will guarantee the contin- ued dedication to the principles it has held so high up till now. It is not only our fondest hope, but our firmest belief, that that legacy and those principles will not soon be forgotten. prejudice, is sorely restricted by such a small group, the students attending are still to be complimented on the warm reception of the production and its producers. The day may yet come when all of the student body will concern itself with the problems of the community and the nation. • • • • “No, but have you ever tried Winchester 22 salt pretzels?” No.” Well, I’d say we’re even.” The foregoing lines are of course taken from a popular advertisement sweeping the nation.

Thus, the answer to the famous celebrity quiz pic- tured on the second page of last month’s edition is, of course, Doug Irmen. • • • • The editorial staff realizes that it’s a little late; but we would still like to congratulate Fr. “he who conquers Krische on his elec- tion as Prom King at Hayden High School, Topeka, during his senior year.

To date, 334 out of 478 students have returned cards issued to the schools of six-parish area for admittance next fall as freshmen. In the past, Miege has been permitted to admit only 300 freshmen. It will be necessary for Fr. Sullivan to speak with the Board of Education and the Superintendent of schools concern- ing the matter. Also, a meeting with parents of these students is planned for late in April. _______________ Long Arm of Law Reaches to Miege On March 17, Mike O'Shea, junior, along with eighteen other students from Johnson County, attended a mock court held in Olathe. It illustrated the workings of justice to young people and also was a part of the training program for the public officers. This program was largely organized and carried out by Chief Herd of the Mission Police. The day before, a fake crime was com- mitted in Mission and the trainees of the police school were allowed to handle the case. The accused, a Mr. Doske, was then brought to trial for murder. The high school students composed the jury and during the course of the trial were shown the laws often used by some lawyers to impair justice. Af- ter a six and a half hour trial the jury brought in a verdict of guilty in the second degree. STAGS SHOW HOMES The drawing, planning, and painstaking labor of 16 architectural students has reach- ed fulfillment in the form of 16 miniature model homes. Six of these homes were en- tered in the model home contest in the Greater Kansas City Home Show held at the Municipal Auditorium during the week of April 4-7. Those students who entered their homes were: Mike Finnerty, Rob Gro- thaus, Joe Hauber, George Roehrig, David Dwyer, and Jim Nehl. The students began work early in the year on the model homes which are required of all of Mr. Zimola’s architectural students. After many weeks of work, both in and out of class, the homes began to take shape and ultimately reached their final form which showed architectural know-how plus unusual ingenuity. For instance, the homes are complete in every detail including, car- pets, fireplace, furniture, and even an oper- ating garage door all on a scale of Students who entered the competition tried for ten cash prizes ranging from $25 to $100. Trophies and school plaques were given for the three finalists. All contestants were eligible for $1500 worth of scholarships offered by the National Association of Home Builders of the greater Kansas City area. The homes were judged on architectural merit, craftsmanship, originality, practical- ity of construction, and suitability for fam- ily living. The architecture students will wind up the year by compiling a scrap book which will include home styles, room designs, and construction materials. THE THEATRE: “The Streets of New York” will be staged at the Circle theatre May 5-22. “Hello Dolly, the current Broadway hit, will be presented at the Music Hall running May 3 through the 8th.

Their offer was rejected, how- ever; the committee stated it already had an issue of Pravda and felt that two similar issues would be a waste. - 166 - Congress Prepares For Elections Among the numerous activities of the fourth quarter. Student Congress nomina- tions and elections are predominant. As in the past, nominees will be chosen by a Senior Nominating Committee which will he headed by the present congress vice- president, Doug Irmen, and all the senior members of the 1964-65 Student CongreaB. These seniors do the actual nominating, but an advisory board composed of the four class presidents, class moderators, and one chosen class representative from each of the four classes is used to obtain student opin- ion. Any information and discussion taking place during the meetings are kept secret by the attending members. The traditional election fanfare-speeches, posters, and cards will be a part of election week which is planned for the first week in May. The mixer held the following Friday evening will announce the election results. Student Congress is again attempting to secure the voting machines from the Wyan- dotte Election Committee. (cont.) p. 1 ACHIEVEMENTS GIRLS IN CONTESTS Patty Dugan, junior, was chosen to repre- sent Miege in the Kansas City’s Teen Co- leen Contest held on St. Patrick’s Day. She was picked as one of the princesses. Senior Phyllis Aleiksatis was also chosen to repre- sent Miege in a similar contest held on St. Valentine's Day. Both representatives were judged on charm, poise, and personality. Kathy Holtzman, a senior, was awarded the Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow Award. Kathy was among twenty Miege seniors who entered the contest. WINNERS OF SCHOLARSHIPS As early Spring comes, many seniors are faced with the problem of preparing for col- lege. Some of these seniors are awarded scholarships. Kathy Flynn has received a scholarship from Mundelein College, a girls’ school in Chicago. Mary Malone received a scholarship from Rosary College, also in Chicago. Terry Pyle has been awarded a scholarship from Marquette University in Milwaukee. From Mount Scholastica, Cheryl Batkoski and Susanne Boland have received scholarships. Susan W ood will attend St. Mary’s College, Xavier, Kansas on a schol- arship. Doug Irmen received a scholarship from K.U. Charles Weingart received a scholarship from Rockhurst College. Mama, Get the Real-Kill” Who is Arnold L. Silverfish? He is out- standing in his field. At least, that’s where he was last seen, out standing in his field making sure the cows eat the crabgrass and not the Bermuda. Of course this often re- sults in sour milk. If the old axiom that states there is a fine line dividing insanity and genius is true, then Arnold Silverfish is on the verge of genius. His Greatest Claims Probably Arnold's greatest accomplish- ment and service to mankind was proving that despite the wild outrageous claims of a certain detergent manufacturer, an auto- matic washer does not wash any better when it is ten feet tall. From a technological standpoint, his proof must rank with Eli Whitney’s invention and distillation of the cotton gin. And his humanitarian interests showed a deep sympathy for nine foot ceil- ings and 5'2 housewives. But probably the most famous thing about Arnold L. Silverfish is his family tree. (It must have been a pecan tree because there were so many nuts.) In fact, Arnold’s family has contributed more to Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations than even Bartlett. And if it were not for Arnold’s ancestors, the Articles of Confederation, Serbia, and the Edsel would not be where they are today. Ben Franklin Silverfish One of the most fascinating of Arnold’s family was Ben Franklin Silverfish. It seems Ben had two things working for him: he col- lected string; and he was terribly absent- minded. Because of a deep psychological problem, his ball of string was his na-na. And he kept it with him at all times. To prevent losing his skate key, he always kept it tied to his ball of string. And so it happened that one day in March, there was a strong wind blowing and John Hancock told Ben to go fly a kite; so he obliged, and rigged up an excellent kite out of a “Poor Richard’s Almanac and his ball of string. Of course he forgot to remove the skate key and failed to see that he was in the midst of a raging thunder storm. So he let his kite fly higher and higher and prompt- ly received 34 volts. In this way, Ben Frank- lin Silverfish became the human credit card, he charged everything he touched for the next three months. One of the most popular pastimes during the colonial era was a series of track meets between the French and the Indians. It was more commonly referred to as the French and Indian War. To officiate the contest, the opposing factions chose the British referees. This was a mistake because the British did their best to get rid of them both. For in- stance, the broad jump was held over a pit 28' wide full of alligators, and quicksand was used m the high-jump pit. - 167 - John Paul Jones Silverfish Another of Arnold’s famous ancestors was an admiral in the colonists’ navy. When he was attacked by the entire British fleet he made the famous statement, “Don’t give up the ship till you see the whites of their eyes.” Sam Houston Silverfish There was also Sam Houston Silverfish who led the Texas patriots in the novel fight against Santa Anna. When the two armies met at San Jacinta, Sam Silverfish led the fighting Texans into the battle with the re- sounding battle cry, Remember the. . .uh . . .uh. . .Oh, you know, the place where John Wayne got killed.” Black Bart Silverfish A member of America’s inglorious past was Black Bart Silverfish, that notorious Kansas cattle baron. On May 15, 1878, he appeared before the Kansas state legislature demanding a town. He pleaded, threatened, and carried on for four hours and fifty min- utes and concluded his oratory with this stirring statement, Give me Liberty, or give me Abilene, or give me Salina, or give me Dodge City, or. . . Prom Plans Complete The Junior Senior Prom will be held April 30th from 9 until 12 o’clock at Corinth Country Club. The David Vanzant Orches- tra will provide music for this event. The prom has been worked on since early Jan- uary and the plans are in the last stages of completion now. Because of all the work in- volved in planning for this type of activity, various chairmen have been selected to head the different committees. Pam Brosky is organizing the decorations committee. Larry Viene is taking charge of clean up, and Bar- bara Hetzel is planning for all refreshments. The theme of this year’s prom will not be disclosed until the night of April 30th and the highlight, of course, will be the crowning of prom royalty. Attention Seniors: For those who are planning to strive for higher education, a new directive has been issued from the office of the Bishop concerning future enrollers at secular colleges. Instead of creating a congestion at the Chancellory office with the re- quests for transcripts to be sent to secu- lar colleges, the Bishop has instructed decisions on such requests will be up to the discretion of the local parish priests. So seniors take heed and prepare your request for your pastor instead of your Bishop. 'Sophs’ Begin Season With West Victory The Miege Sophomore track squad start- ed their ’65 season with a big victory over the Shawnee Mission West sophomores. The West team, which was 9plit into two separ- ate teams, scored 73. But the individual honors of victory go to the Stags. Bill Weiss placed first in the high hurdles, Tom Koob placed first in the 100 with 11.6. Jim Gendron placed first in the broad jump; Dave Murphy took second in both the pole vault and high jump. Along with these victorious sophomores, there was a noticeable presence of freshmen who added a great amount of depth to the squad. Freshmen Mark Geraghty and Phil Hammond took first in the half mile and the mile respectively. In the 200 dash, John Kreisman to first with a time of 26.5. The medley relay team consisting of Mike Salazar, Mike O’Rourke, Mike Zeleznak, and Steve McGill to first with 4:15 while the mile relay team of Dave Murphy, Terry Dunn, Bill Weiss, and Jim Gendron took first with a time of 3:56.9. M-73 SMW-(gold)-56 SM W-(black)-38 Junior Varsity Evens Record Against SM-East In their second outing of the season, the Stags’ Junior Varsity fell to defeat at the hands of the Shawnee Mission East Junior Varsity team 79$ to 53$. The Stags excelled in the field events cap- turing the first three places in the shot, sec- ond in the discus, and second and third in the javelin. The B-teamers also excelled in the run- ning events but failed to show depth as the Lancers consistently took the follow through places as the Stags to the winning position. First places were taken by Jim Nehl, in the high hurdles; John Pyle in the 440; Ron Theis in the shot; Kent Portell in the high jump; and Mike Kelly in the 880. Second places were taken in the mile, 880, and broad jump. In the mile relay, the Stags took a re- sounding victory by beating the Lancers by an easy 100 yards. The team consisted of Tim Huckaby, Rich Bohon, Rick Hauber, and Mike Kelly. However, the victories in these events did not erase the points lost when the sprinters were blanked in the 220 and 100. Jon Cain, shown here in the state indoor, won third place in the Washington Relays with a throw of 50' 3 4 . Washington Relays One of the biggest and largest publicized track events of the year is the Washington Relays held at Washington High School each year. This year’s relays saw a limited Miege track squad take an eighth place. The field events showed the greatest amount of depth as John Cain took a third place in the shot with a throw of 50' 3 4 and Mike Mance took third in the discus with a throw of 132' 8 . In the running events, the Stag’s medley relay team anchored by Greg Wilson took a blazing first place with a time of three min- utes, fifty-four and one fourth seconds. The rest of the relay consisted of Dennis Harris, Lonnie Anwander, and Dave Thomas. Each of the members of this team received a gold medal for their effort. Other teams participating in the meet were Wichita East, Shawnee Mission North, Shawnee Mission East, Shawnee Mission West, Washington, Ward, and Rockhurst, to mention a few. Jim Bock prepares to pass unidentified run- ner during the 9tate indoor. Vikings Clip Stags: Stags Show Promise The Shawnee Mission West Vikings de- feated Washington, Bishop Miege, and De La Salle in a quadrangular meet which was the second of the season. Shawnee Mission West scored 92 points, Washington 48$ points, Miege 45 points, and De La Salle 36$ points. The Stags won only three of the 16 first places, but scored in every event. Greg Wilson took first place for the Stags with a 4:42.2 mile. The closest of all the races was the mile relay, in which all four runners averaged under 54 seconds. The anchor man, Mike Judge, put in a blazing quarter and beat the Shawnee Mission West’s runner approximate- ly one tenth of a second, to win a total time of 3:39.5 along with a victory. Outstanding performances were put in by dash man Matt Orr who was timed in at 10:2 to tie the school record, John Cain in the shot-put and broad jump, Mike Mance in the discus, and the Medley Relay team of Dennis Harris, Dave Thomas, Mike Judge, and Mike Kelly who timed in 3:51.8, and Terry Pyle and Jim Boch in the 880. SMW-92 W-48$ M-45 DLS-36$ Frosh Thin Clads Romp in First Venture The Stags’ freshmen received their first taste of interscholastic track and showed their strength as they breezed to a victory over St. Joseph of Shawnee and Hogan. In the dashes, Rich Cain placed first in both the 100 and 220 while John Kreisman tied for third in the 100 and placed second in the 220. The Stag sprinters took sixteen of the twenty-two possible points. In the hurdles, Mike Kirby tied for first in the highs followed closely by Pat Larkin and Steve Bower. In the low hurdles, Mike O’Rourke took first while Pat Larkin took second followed by Mark Anwander. The frosh depth in the distance events was shown when the Stag half milers took the first five places behind Mark Geraghty and Steve McGill. In the field events, John Segori placed first with the javelin and second in the shot; Mike Zeleznak placed first in the broad jump, and Mike Mitchell took first place in the high jump with a jump of 5' 4 .
