MOTHERS CLUB MRS. GENEVA VLASIC MRS. EDWARD DONOVAN MRS. WALTER MICHAELS MRS. THOMAS GOZDECKI President Recording Secretary Corresponding Secretary Treasurer The Mothers ' Club of Bishop Noll High School, headed this year by Mrs. Geneva Vlasic, is one of the most active of its kind in the region.

In addition to their monthly business and social meetings, the Mothers ' Club annually presents a shower for the Sisters teaching at Noll High. One of the biggest and most popular projects of the club is their annual style show and card party at which both parents and students model the latest styles and fashions. The Mothers ' Club also works in conjunction with the Fathers ' Club in sponsoring the annual athletic banquet at which honor is paid to all Noll students who participate in the sports program. Both the Mothers ' and Fathers ' Clubs also help with the annual bazaar in late spring. The Vice-Presidents of the Mothers Club for each class are Mrs. James Kinnane, Freshman; Mrs. Steven Kochis, Sopho¬ more; Mrs. Benedict Bubala, Junior; and Mrs. John Dienes,

FATHERS CLUB MR. JOHN NOWICKI President MR. EDWARD DONOVAN Vice-President MR. WILLIAM JANZ Secretary-T reasurer The Fathers ' Club of Noll High extends its membership not only to fathers of the students but also to alumni and other men interested in providing a complete Catholic education for Noll students. Business meetings are held regularly once a month and from time to time there are joint meetings with the Mothers ' Club to discuss common problems and interests. Social activities of the Fathers ' Club include the popular fall and spring smokers, which are purely stag, and also their Christmas party together with the Mothers ' Club. Still another project sponsored by the Fathers ' and Mothers ' Clubs jointly is the annual athletic banquet. The contribution of the Fathers ' Club to Noll ' s athletic program is invaluable. During the football and basketball seasons members help with the clerical work at home games and also provide transportation for the team for games away from home. Each class is represented by a Vice-President in the Fathers Club. Class Vice-Presidents are Mr. Bernard Taillon, Freshman; Mr. Harold Mason, Junior; Mr. Milan Dotlich, Sophomore; and Mr. William Creviston, Senior.

SENIORS THE SENIORS at Noll are the student leaders and are being prepared to be the Catholic leaders of their homes, communities, and nation. To be a good leader, a person must be developed as a whole person. Just as Fr. Marquette saw the Indian, not as an uncivilized savage but as a child of God, so the senior is viewed as a tremendous pote ntial: a child of God. Through religion classes and private counseling, the faculty helps to pilot and direct the senior ' s spiritual life so that he may more easily and more fully attain the end for which he was brought into being. If the senior knows how to attain his own eternal end, he will be prepared to assist others to this end. To live happily in this world of people, the senior must learn of the give and take of human relations. No better place for this can be found than the classroom and extra-curricular program. Here are met people of various stages of maturity, people of different temperaments, people of different interests and talents. If, by the time he graduates, the senior has begun to accept and to live with people as they are, he is on the road to leader¬ ship and bcoming a whole person.
