I ursteu, our Bishop, is a recognized leader in the field of education. Through his efforts to expand educational facilities 20 new schools have been built and plans for many more are under way. However, this increased building does not diminish his interest in the existing schools. CC welcomes the opportunity to acknowledge its debt of gratitude to Bishop Pursley. Weru ll everend I II U t Wiiii turn onSianor cJLedte ler for eight years devoted his time and effort to CC as principal. This time was spent improving the spiritual, education and social program here. His present position as Diocesan Superintendent of Catholic schools gives wider scope to his zeal. Once again the student body wishes to thank Monsignor Lester for all of his contributions to CC. tl )tcm Congratulations to seniors Barbara Gall and Adrian Reim- ers, finalists in the National Merit Scholarship tests. The Central Catholic SHAM- ROCK has recently been award- ed Excellent standing by both the Quill and Scroll newspaper critical service and The Catho- lic Press Association. The SHAMROCK received a total of 815 points out of a pos- sible 1000 from the Catholic Press Association, which rated her all-Catholic. Juniors and seniors will take the PSAT Oct. 16. This Pre- liminary Scholastic Aptitude Test is administered to the jun- iors for experience in taking col- lege qualifying tests. Many sen- iors take the test because they realize it will aid them when they apply for admission into college. The PSAT is a college board exam in capsule form. Mary Lauer and Joan Steele, both ' 62 graduates, have won Archbishop Noll Memorial Scholarships for nursing. Mary also won a scholarship from the 40 8 Society, a branch of the American Legion. Both girls have entered Saint Joseph Hos- pital School of Nursing. Maury Bubb and John Dul- laghan, ' 62, former Irish netmen, have both received full college scholarships. Marion College will be Maury ' s alma mater, while John will attend Defiance College. CC ' s total enrollment for the year is 1,648. Sophomores lead with 493 students, followed by freshmen with 459. Juniors trail with 378 and seniors number 318. On behalf of the students and faculty, we express our sincere sympathy to Sister Bernarda, PHJC, on the death of her father; and to Sister Mary Mag- dalen, SP, on the death of her mother. SHAMROCK of Central Catholic High School. Fort Wayne, Indiana Vol. XXV September 28, 1962 No. 2 CC Merges Publications ' •What is it? What does the merging of the SHAMROCK and the ECHO mean? These are the questions many are asking. We will try to answer them for you. The new publication, which will be called the SHAM- ROCK, has necessitated a change of format. The page size will be smaller than the newspaper, yet larger than the ECHO page. Each month, from September through April, the SHAMROCK will print an eight-page issue, Co-editors Maryann Schlie and Susan Roembke look over plans for the new SHAMROCK. Mothers Vote On ' 63 Dinner Mrs. Wayne Miller, president, will open the first meeting of the 1962-63 CCHS Mothers ' Club Tuesday, Oct. 16, at 8 p.m. The plans for the evening in- clude a panel discussion by Father Hammond, Sister Mau- reen Therese, SP, and Father Isenbarger. CC ' s curriculum, guidance, and counseling offered to the student body will be the subjects. The entire club will vote on the ' 63 baccalaureate dinner. This vote will decide if senior parents, or merely the graduates are to attend. Father Hammond will accept a check from the treasurer, Mrs. John Miller. The amount repre- sents the club ' s work for last year. Coffee will be served fol- lowing the meeting. sec To Pray Living Rosary The Student Spiritual Council v. ' ill hold a living rosary on Sun- day, Oct. 7, at 8 p.m. in the gym. Ofl cers and representatives of school religious organizations will fomi the rosai-j-, and Father Donald Isenbarger, guidance di- rector, will give a short medita- tion after each decade is said. Benediction of the Blessed Sac- rament will close the program. During the month of October the SSC will conduct a drive in the homerooms for subscriptions to The Queen ' s Work, a national teen magazine. The SSC in co-operation with the national CYO will sponsor National Youth Communion Sunday on the feast of Christ the King. The rosar - will be said at noon in the Cathedral during October, Rosary Month. which will contain news, fea- tures, literary works, and sports. There will be no ads in the monthly issue. For each person who pur- chases a $2 SHAMROCK sub- scription, a duplicate set of the monthly issues will be filed if he invests $3 more. At the end of the year, these issues will be bound together, along with a pictorial supplement, in a hard cover. The supplement will con- tain activity pictures, senior sec- tion, underclass homeroom pic- tures, sports, autograph pages, and business ads. Students will not see these features until they receive their bound copy, which -ill resemble a yearbook. This publication will give a complete, detailed record of the school year. Governor Welsh Appoints Miller To Youth Board Dick Miller, Jr.. president of the Ci ' ics Club at CC, will at- tend the Youth Advisory Com- mittee to the Governor ' s Youth Council, at the in -itation of the Honorable Matthew E.

The Indiana Youth Assembly of 1962 will meet to study and discuss current youth problems and needs and will propose suitable plans of action. Each delegate will meet in a sub- committee to examine the issues and will then vote in a general assembly. Issues which will be discussed include: education, physical fit- ness, militan,- affairs, commun- ity welfare, employment, and juvenile delinquency. SHAMROCK September 28, 1962 Target — An Active Year Don ' t you get tired of hearing parents, teachers, older brothers and sisters, and relatives tell you that your years in high school are the best years of your life and that you should make the most of them ? Honestly, do these adults think we ' re wasting our high school education? Why are they always preaching to us? Could the following examples be the reason? Cousin Mary had such a hard time finding a job be- cause her typing and shorthand weren ' t up to par. Re- member how she said, I ' d certainly do things differently if I were back in high school. I ' d really study hard. I never realized how important studying really was until now. Aunt Ethel was so embarrassed when a non-Catholic asked Iier something about the Church, and she had to answer I don ' t know. Didn ' t she murmur something about paying more attention to her religion ? Mom and Dad always urge us to study hard, too .... Maybe adults urge us to study because they know how important studying is. They know how important studjnng is ' because they are earning livings, raising fam- ilies, and they realize that knowledge often makes the dif- fei-ence between success and failure .... Maybe adults know a little more than we do after all. Let ' s listen to them and start learning! After all, they ' ve had experience! Maryann Schlie Our School A Fire Trap? Say (here students — haven ' t you heard? Dropping- papers and trash in the halls is absurd. It ' s down right dsgusting; as a matter of fact. Its bound to make CC a dangerous fire trap! So pick up those papers and clean up that hall. Fire Prevention Week ' s coming! Let ' s get on the ball!

We wonder who was waiting at the goalpost for Willy and the team, to make him run and them block like that? We knew they had planned some new strategy for the year, but we didn ' t know they had that much on the ball. Keep it up Irish! Transition from vacation to school was hard on Jack McCabe, 400, as he asked, Sister, do we have an ashtray in here? It seems he couldn ' t find the basket when he had some wastepaper. Our motto this year is Read More. In fact, Lynda Brandt recently found fifty dollars in an old book she was reading. Just goes to prove that the gaying Reg more and improve your finances can be true. £:ZJl : Our high school is different from most Catholic High Schools in that it is comprehensive - — we have room, we have courses of study for everybody. We have the brilliant and the not so brilliant: we have boys and girls whose parents have plenty of this world ' s goods and those whose parents have little. We have those who come from strong homes where there is love, affection and discip- line; we have students whose home background is sadly tangled or broken. Up on these latter, even at age 14 or 15, God has al- lowed a heavy cross to fall. But this varied pattern is a joy to my heart and a joy to the hearts of your teachers. Christ ' s heart is big. He takes us as we are. He loves us precisely because we are different from everyone else. l l e ( an J elk ? . i i v - f Do you realize that we are standing on the brink of the most important ecclesiastical event of the twentieth century? The whole world will be interested in the outcome of the Ecu- menical Council. Its success or failure depends upon our prayers. Every CC ' er has an obligation to pray, to learn about, and to offer sacrifices for the Council. Many of us arrive early enough to attend the 7:30 Mass at the Blessed Sacrament Chapel. We could offer a daily Mass for the Council. How many times do we pass a holy water font in our class- rooms without making the Sign of the Cross? Think of the in- dulgences CC could gain for the Council if 1648 CC ' ers offered this ejaculation 12 times a day. The Morning Offering offers all our thoughts, words, and actions, if it is said sincerely. Look now to the Council and your part in it! Could these litterbugs be YOU ? September 28, 1962 SHAMROCK Second Annual College Day To Be October 21 Looking to the future, CC students Carol Junk, Don Neuhaus and John Mauch will have their college questions answered at Col- lege Day, Oct. 21. Central Catholic will host the second annual College Day Sunday, Oct. 21, in the school auditorium. The program will begin at 1:30 p.m. with a welcoming address by CC ' s principal, Father Robert Hammond, and will feature three individual counseling periods at which parents and college-bound students will have an opportunity to find out more about the schools m which they are especially interested. Students from Bishop Luers, Decatur Catholic, and Hunting- ton Catholic high schools, as well as their parents, have been invited to the event. Free coffee will be sers ' ed in the school cafeteria to those at- tending. Father Donald Isenbarger, chairman for the event, says that 200 persons attended Col- lege Day last year, and that this year ' s College Day should be an even bigger success.

The United Fund helps sup- port 39 charitable organizations, including Catholic Social Serv- ices and Saint Vincent ' s Villa. Mr. John Thompson of WANE TV explained that, while wel- fare agencies give money to the needy, money that might be squandered, the U.F. gives sen - ice, and thus contributors are assured that their money is used for what it is intended. This year ' s goal is $1,402,522, and, as the theme for 1962 an- nounces: Help — your one gift means more than ever before.

Of the 1648 stu- dents at CC, 802 of them have registered for business classes, and of that number, 350 are taking typing. Typing classes begin at 7:30 a.m. with Mr. Robert Bakle ' s semester typing class and con- tinue throughout the day for eight periods. For this reason, the Commerce Department is one of the busiest departments at CC. Thirty-one colorful new type- writers, including six new IBM Selectrics, grace the typing room this year. Typing I students leam the keyboard and develop some speed. They also study and use the fundamental business forms used in an office. Students of Typing II, which is referred to as General Office Practice, increase typing speed, use advanced business forms, learn filing, mimeographing, and duplicating, as well as telephone and office techniques. Typing II with Shorthand II involves transcribing letters from shorthand on typewriter and increasing typing speed. Shorthand I students leam the principles of Gregg Shorthand Simplified with an introduction to speed building. Clerical records is a coui ' se de- signed to give practical presen- tations of personal as well as business record keeping prob- lems. Pictured above during a Typing drill are Carolyne Chomey, Marilyn Keller, Janet Skinner, and Dianna Pettit. The primary purpose of busi- ness law is to aid the student in his business and social rela- tionships. This year, seven of Fort Wayne ' s outstanding law- yers are scheduled to lecture and present a mock trail. The classes are planning courtroom visita- tions, which will aid in the un- derstanding of legal rights and duties. Business teachers include : Sister Mary Christyn, SSND, Mr. Robert Bakle, Sister M. Francis Borgia, SSND; Mr. Thomas Kaough, and Sister Mary Magdala, SSND. Are you boys afraid of what the other fellows might say if they see you in a shorthand class ? Or is it that you don ' t realize the excellent opportun- ities available to good male sec- retaries ? Each year the demand for men with secretarial and cler- ical skills increases. Opportun- ities exist in business, industry, and civil, military, and govern- mental agencies. However, it is true there are fewer opportunities for qualified men with a business education when compared to the number of openings available to girls; yet there are still fewer well- trained male secretaries to fill these choice openings. Many large business firms of- fer attractive beginning salaries with a wide avenue of advance- ment to men with secretarial and stenographic skills. There are instances in which successful be- ginning secretaries have risen to top-level positions. Secretarial training need not be considered a career in it- self; rather, an important mile- stone on the road to another in- dividual career still in the fu- ture. High school business coui ' ses often supply the foun- dation on which a future career is built. CC Grad Wins Italian Grant Sister Mary Christyn, SSND, is pictured demonstrating to students Marilyn Bonifas and Paul Lawyer, the proper way to run a mimeograph machine. I was thrilled! With these words, Roseanne Kane ' 58, summed up her reac- tion to the news that she had received a grant to study in Florence, Italy, for her Masters of Music degree. Roseanne sailed for Europe Sept. 14, and will travel around the Italian countryside until Pius XII Institute, where she will study, opens Oct. 1. In June, the young pianist, possessor of a Phi Beta Kappa key and winner of the Sigma Alpha Iota award for highest scholarship average in music, graduated cum laude from the Catholic University of America. A lot of people think that CU is a seminary! laughed Roseanne, but they couldn ' t be further from the truth. Actual- ly, it ' s a very social, liberal col- lege. The small number of un- dergraduates enables everyone to become acquainted with the students in his class, while at the same time the good faculty and large number of graduate students give the University a large campus atmosphere. At college Roseanne served for two years as treasurer of Sigma Alpha Iota, a national music fraternity, and was a member of Kappa Tau Gamma social sororitj ' , Delta Epsilon Sigma, honorary theological fra- ternity, and the University chor- us. Her activities at CC included membership in the Civics Club, Scholastic Monogram Club, FHA, and French Club. She al- so belonged to the Veronica Guild, Daughters of Mary, and the cheering block. SHAMROCK September 28, 1962 J ' . amaican eacker ell6 yyf J omeland The petite, dark-haired teacher in home room 200, Miss Eleanor Pengelly. comes to Central Cathohc from her native St. An- drew, Jamaica. After completing her sec- ondary education in Ja- maica, she entered St. Fran- cis College in 1958. Taking a liberal arts course, and majoring in English, Miss Pengelly edited St. Francis ' yearbook, the Alvernian. The language of Jamaica, contrary to what we may think, is English. Life in St. Andrew is very much like that in the United States, she commented. We are very sports con- scious too. Soccer and es- pecially cricket, an English game played something like baseball, are comparable to your popular game of foot- ball. The parochial scliools, she said, are not all Catholic. The predominating reli- gions in Jamaica are Pro- testant, Anglican, and Catholic. Specifictiify Speaking of Cuba, in In the past few months, Russia has been trans- porting weapons to the small but potentially for- midable island the most recent campaign to insure Communist subversion and threat in the Americas. The Monroe Doc- trine, which threatens war in case of obtrusion in the West- em hemisphere by non-Ameri- can nations, is being explicity violated by Russia, and is now losing face to the threat of an attempted checkmate upon America ' s, and the free world ' s, security. Consequently, the Red build- up in Cuba has inaugurated a wave of criticism concerning the President ' s authority, and Congress ' excessive verbosity in dealing with this definite menace to the freedom and future of American generations. It ap- pears that many United States citizens, obviously uninformed as to what the U.S. should do in this crisis, offer solutions to the problem, but stop without carrying their solutions to an end. As yet, the United States has not acted to prevent this take- over in Cuba. Indeed, her chance had expired a long time ago! We have long denounced the malign mistakes Fidel Castro makes in dictating the Marxist- Leninist doctrine to an all-Cath- olic country; but, thus far, our plan of attack seems to center around a waiting game. What are we waiting for? Soon enough, Russia will have such complete control over Cuba that she will dare the United States to defend the Monroe Doctrine, while she, Russia, can busy herself elsewhere, in sub- verting the United States itself, knowing all the while that the U.S. will only wait more! Only by taking and exercising the in- itiative can anyone hope to ac- complish his purpose. We know that Communism cannot possib- ly succeed because it represents the evils of society. We know also, that our Blessed Lady at Fatima warned us about the world wars, and the possibility of Russia being converted by prayers on the rosary beads! Now, the threat of instantan- eous destruction looms over us; and we can remedy this situa- tion only by using our God- given talents as they were in- tended to be used. A Red Cuba only ninety miles from our shores is a severe threat; but God is on our side, and freedom is on our side. With this over- whelming majority, let us do our best, especially now. To play a defensive game would prove hazardous to the free world, and all of mankind. Miss Pengelly, new teacher from Jamaica, is shown discussing a subject with Tom Delagrange. adkion ladked Well gals, as football season has arrived it ' s time to bring out your warm wooly clothes again. Game attire this year falls in the line of slacks, ber- mudas, an ' d kilts. Knee socks are back this year too. Stretch pants are catching on slowly; however, they aren ' t too warm. Generous, bright plaids are the dominant style in slacks. Ski sweaters, especially the Vee- necks, are growing fast in popu- larity. Imbedded print sweaters are now in the smart set. Plain or dark print, shirt style blouses are top on the list of vogue. Fleecy or corduroy bermuda coats should be favorites this year. Big high leather boots will be seen as it gets colder. Mocha appears to be the shoe color for autumn. Italian loaf- ers and simple multi-color flats give the feet a collegiate air. Ring and slave bracelets add to the simple look, although bi g jangle styles are still here. Hair styles and make-up have simmered down. The teased look has finally left us. Curls are casual, brought behind the ears, or barely flipped. Make-up joins the fall fashions with pale orange and red lipsticks, and by all means no eye-shadow for day time use! Now girls, go open your clos- ets and see what you ' ve got to work with, you might be sur- prised! Next time we ' ll take a look at what ' s coming up in skirts, coats and dresses. Now boys, how about you ? The masculine set seems to be more conscious of their attire these days. Weather will be gettirfg cooler and sweaters will be on the foot- ball scene. The zipper front style will be mingled with bulky cardigan, and crew neck pull- overs. The Perry Como is for more dressy occasions. Dark print shirts are always hand- some. Brighter plaids are ap- propriate for school. Plaid slacks are becoming with plain Ban-Lons or dark shirts. The solid color slacks are ever-popular. Grey, olive, blue, and blue-black are the pre- dominant shades again this fall. Letters Join Alumni Father Ralph Rogawski ' 50, a missionary in Bolivia, had a strange reunion with his former CC classmates Steve Steckbeck, Jack Kelty, Donald Mauch, and David Sorg, M.D. It all started when one of the jeeps Father Ralph owmed went over a cliff as the road beneath it collapsed. Since the jeep is needed badly in missionary work. Father Ralph wrote to some members of his class to ask them to do- nate money to replace the jeep. His friends responded and asked other alumni to contribute. As a result of this reunion by letter, ipSOO of the $700 needed for a new jeep has been raised. 10 September 28, 1962 SHAMROCK The 1962 football season is near the midpoint as the Irish play their fourth pame tomor- row night against the Central Tigers at Zollner Stadium. CC, considered the best in the city by high school coaches, is fa- vored to win. The Irish were also favored to win last year, however, the Bengals squeezed out an 8-6 victory on the rain- slopped Northrop Field. The Tigers have the heaviest line in the city, while the Irish have a fast, tricky backfield. These two latter facts shouldn ' t distort the Purple picture in the least. After two games the Irish had scored 40 points: Krouse led with 18 on three TD ' s; Hueber scored twice for 12; Walsh had a TD; and Habecker had 4 on point conversions. Krouse also is No. 1 in rush- ing, with an average gain of 7.1 yards on 22 carries; Walsh has a 4 yard average on 10 at- temps; Hueber, second in total yards, gains about 3.8 yards per run. Boedeker and Charais have gained the remaining 314 yards. The backfield quintet have, thus far, carried for 4.6 yards per play. Walsh and Krouse together have completed 7 of 13 passes for 157 yards and a 54% com- pletion mark. Hueber ' s five punts average at 37.2 yards — as good or bet- ter than some pros. Krouse has an average kickoff return of 48.8 yards; his total rushing production is 400 yards for two games. IRISH vs. BEARS The Irish came as close to beating South Bend Central as they ever have in this season ' s opener Sept. 7. Following a scoreless first quarter, CC out- scored the Bears 13-6 in the second. CC ' s first TD came when Krouse returned the kick- off from the fifteen-yard line. A two-yard plunge by Hueber and a PAT by Habecker finished Irish scoring for the period. Early in the third stanza CC gained six points on a quarter- back sneak by Walsh. The score starting the final twelve minutes was 19-13, but the Bears knotted it with 3:10 left to end the scor- ing 19-19. CADETS NO MATCH FOR THE PURPLE The Cadets proved easier for the CC eleven who brought home a 21-6 decision. Krouse picked up 68 yards for the first TD following the second half kick- off. Habecker then kicked the first of his three one-pointers for a 7-0 lead. The Cadets passed for a score, but Hueber went around right end for a 14-6 margin entering the last quarter. With forty-three sec- onds remaining, Krouse took a twenty-five yard jaunt for the Purple ' s final TD. Pictured above are varsity cheerleaders: Front row, left to right — Mary Ellen Tetlow. Patti Kintz, and Mike McLaughlin. Back row — Phyllis Bail, capt. and Barb Schlensker. The action is fast and furious as two Cadets try to tackle Bill Krouse (24). Other Irishmen shown include: Larry Rodriguez (66) and Paul Boedeker (34). ' Boot ' s ' Leads Irish Pep Quintet New pep is in store for the Irish this year. CC has an all-new cheering squad with the exception of three-year veteran. Barb Schlensker. Captain Phyllis Bail, senior, and juniors Margaret McLaughlin, Patti Kintz and Mary Ellen Tetlow fill out the quintet. The squad ' s main aim is to inspire school spirit and to get every student to remain until the end of every game. Phyllis, 301, called Boots by her friends, made the reserve squad as a soph. College is in this gal ' s future. Skiing is one of her favorit e activities. She had a summer job at Lake Gage this year. The perky brownette said she was mostly stunned when she found out she made varsity last spring. Barb, 300, said, It is thrilling to know that in a way you are leading your school. Her most exciting experience as a cheer- leader came last year, when CC won the City Basketball Cham- pionship. This blue-eyed blonde is thinking of becoming a dental assistant after graduation. Mary Mike McLaughlin, 412, replied it ' s the biggest thrill of my high school life, when asked how she felt toward being a yell leader. Interior decoration is the field that seems to catch her forseeing eyes. Mike still has a hanky which was filled with joy tears from last year ' s announcement of her qualification. Tricia Kintz, 402, is an active CC personality. This sum- mer she attended the Summer School of Catholic Action. She en- joys dancing immensley and has hopes of teaching it this year. Mary Tetlow, 400. is the sister of former cheerleader, Lisa Tetlow, ' 61. Mary Ellen likes the whole thing, meaning being a member of the squad. She thinks Go Team Gto and Irish Clap are the wildest cheers. All five agree that to hear the student body yeU Two Bits, sends a chill down their spines. Forecast: Not Briglit The outlook for the 1962 cross-countrj ' season, according to Coach Leon Youngpeter, is not too bright. At press time, the Irish Harriers have no wins against three losses. Inexperi- ence is a major factor since the squad is composed entirely of sophomores and juniors. Coach Youngpeter names Bob Schlup as the team ' s best runner, with Greg Ranly and Tom LaFon- taine also doing well. 11 SHAMROCK September 28, 1962 O S cJLiL erar[ P ' ctae T o Reverie This month the SHAMROCK introduces the literary page, a new monthly feature composed of original works from CC ' s English department.

Two Slain In Gang War By Bob Woenker LONDON — Two members of opposing gangs were killed last night as violence broke out anew between the Monsters and the Danes. The fight took place at Mead Ha ' l, famous night spot and hangout of the Danes and Saxons, another friendly gang. One of the dead men is Grendel of the Monsters, who is known quite well for the part he takes in mass murders. About midnight Grendel came into Mead Hall and brutally beat and killed one of the Danes in just another episode of this underworld conflict, which has been going on for the past eleven years. Before Grendel could make his way out of the hall he was attacked by a Dane (sup- posedly Beowulf) who in turn beat Grendel savagely. Later in the morning Grendel was found dead in his home. Already it is rumored that the Monsters seek to avenge the death of Grendel. M onsterTerrorizesPopulace By Thomas Hueber Sweden and Denmark — UPI — Grendel, recent menace to population, has brought party time in the splendid Mead Hall to a standstill. According to King Hrothgar, the building was consti-ucted as a recreation hall for the army reserves. Lately however, after each loud evening of mead drinking, the warriors take rest, only to find their number decreased in the mom. Strange rumors are deterring consideration of at- tendance. Grendel, the neighborhood fiend, is said to have frightened the men through his unsociable ways, especially his dining etiquette. Ostracism has been discussed. Autumn Remembrance By Kathy Snider As our small aluminum craft glided over the rippling water, we saw the wonders of Nature on the banks. The stately oaks and maples were outstanding in their hues of red and gold. The elms and willows were still in the late stages of green. The small bushes, once laden with green leaves and red berries, were leafless and brown. Even the grass had started to change to brown. The smell of burnt leaves pervading the air, made this autumn scene complete. i. Ogre ' s Obituary By Ben Merriweather Grendel was fatally wounded by Beowulf and his cohorts yesterday evening in the Mead Hall. Grendel, descendant of Cain, and a mon- ster beyond description, had slain a sleep- ing thane and then attacked Beowulf. In the ensuing battle, the Mead Hall was al- most completely destroyed. As the battle progressed, the frame of Grendel ' s body be- gan to break under the steel-like grip of Beowulf. A monstrous crack opened under his arm, and the sinews cracked, and the bones broke. Grendel raced from the hall to his lair, and there at 2:30 this morning, died. Grendel is survived by his mother. Pitfalls Of Pride By Peter Iverson I have sinned, I have sinned. This thought echoed back and forth, reverberat- ing off the impenetrable wall of conscience, frantically trying to find an aperture that signified an excuse. But there was no ex- cuse. And it came to pass that the mind passed a church, a haven of relief. But before the entrance to this haven was a satanic angel, the angel of pride. And this angel carried a flaming sword which had to be extin- guished before the angel became powerless. But the mind didn ' t have the will to defeat the angel and it looked away and moved on. But the mind now had an idea and changed the maddening echo into a relent- less hammer, chipping away at the con- science, for the mind knew that if a hole was put in the wall, the life ' s blood of the conscience would be drained away and the conscience would become hard and with a light tap fall into dust. But each blow with the hammer put the mind through such agonizing pain that it did not allow the entity it occupied to see the car. There was a strident scream from both within and without and then nothing. And the conscience left the creature that it would no longer have any use for — left for its final destination. On a very common grave in a very com- mon cemetery is a very common phrase: May he rest in peace. Amen. Editor ' s Note: This work was composed last May in Sister Regina Therese ' s English I class. By Mary Schirmeyer A nimble chipmunk skitters gaily across the path that runs through the woods. A group of boys and girls cautiously jump across the creek. The aroma of Hunter ' s Stew, sizzling in the fire, penetrates the atmosphere. Gay young voices join in song, as they tell the joys and woes of camp life. Those nostalgic reminiscences remind me of my favorite summer activity. That activity is camping with the Counselers-In-Training at Shoaflf Park. The C.I.T. ' s are a group of teenagers from all over Fort Wayne. They aid the coun- selers with their tribes of campers. They learn outdoor skill by actually participating in them. At difl: erent times during the sum- mer and even in winter, they camp out under the stars in their sleeping bags. This un- usual group learns the responsibilities of leadership while they learn the beauties of nature in this fast-paced world of ours. Book Review By Marie Vandafrift Exodus By Leon Uris From the beginning to the very end, this book has held my attention. It is so well written that the reader feels as though he were part of the story. He is taking all the pleasures and misfortunes with the main characters. Not only is the book wonderful reading but a complete history of the Jewish nation. I have learned many new and different things from Exodus. I have learned to con- sider everyone as equal people. All people, no matter what race or creed, are God ' s children and should be thought of as such. I have also come to realize what a true and beautiul thing love is. Not only a love for another person, but the great love one has for his country and his God. In my opinion this book is a true and wonderful story that every student would enjoy. Exodus is truly magnificent reading! 12 S cnoot Ard ministration trace we ai I. in Ike W. an of todat ' d feast . . . gach morning, Father Robert Hammond, principal at Central Catholic, begins the work of the day by giving over the P.A. a brief meditation relative to the feast or season.

It was none other than senior, Tom Hueber, accompanying himself with a homemade mandolin. The young gleeman entertained his English class with a ballad composed by himself. It was really very ap- propriate, as the class is now studying medieval English literature. Moe: Hey Doe, Ya know some of these freshmen aren ' t so green after all. Doe: What do ya mean by that, Moe? Moe: Well, Becky Kohne and Mary Louise Crowe, for instance. A couple of weejis ago they tromped over t ?

Never underestimate the power of a woman has Ijecome so potent a seHing- slogan that we find it selling groceries, European tours, and new model cars. The ad- vertising world has put tiie spotlight, as it were, on a facet of life of which we are undoubtedly aware, but do not too often signalize: the influence of women. Equally real might be the motto: Never underesti- mate the power of me. Whether we realize it or not, each of us has a tremendous influence on those with whom we come in contact. The extent of this influence depends primarily on the strength of our character and second- arily on our closeness to the person we influence; but whether we will it or not we influence everyone we meet in some little or some big way. It is a sobering thought that everyone we meet is a little better or a little worse because we are what we are. Whether the thought appeals to us or not the truth is Never underestimate the power of me.

Report cards have the atrocious habit of popping up at the most inopportune times. It might be the weekend of that huge smash over at Bob ' s, but with that 69 hitting your parents between the eyes, your prospect of going is about as bright as a tomb. How come the low grade? Maybe the chief reason is that things just seem to pile up and there isn ' t enough time. It could be that you are haunted by that imp, pro- crastination. He works like this: It ' s 9 p.m. You are blithely watching Dracula Returtis Again on TV, when with horror you realize, that 600 word theme, which has been assigned for a week, is due tomorrow, and you have- n ' t even started. The witching hour finds you still writ- ing, and the next morning you ' re either half dead or look- ing that way. You can learn to master that little imp by setting aside a certain time to do your homework. Keeping to the schedule v ill be murder at first, but gradually you will learn to like the order. If you have a long assignment which extends over a week, divide the work into equal parts and do a little each night. Keep a record of all your homework for greater effi- ciency. If you do this you won ' t get that feehng: Gee, I wonder what I forgot to do? Mary McClaren Retreat gives everyone a chance to examine himself spiritually and to re-evaluate his motives for living. Don ' t turn down the opportunity. Who ' s Confused? Have you ever tried to tell your parents about the various developmental, intelligence, and achievement tests you take at CC? If you have, the chances are that you confuse them by rattling off about the NEDT, PSAT, and NMSQT. Usually your parents seem to dig you when you talk about your school activities, but somehow you just can ' t make them understand these tests. Well, let CC ' s faculty and administration straighten your parents out! Your teachers are much more quali- fied to do the explaining — in fact, they ' ve even set aside special evenings on which to do it. If you ' re a senior, your parents will learn about the testing programs November 13. Junior and soph par- ents will be enlightened November 14 and 15, respec- tively. Parents of frosh will stay in the dark a little longer, since their turn for the explanation won ' t come until February 19. Moral: If testing programs confuse your Mom and Dad, send them to Parents ' Nights. It ' s possible that some day, when you ' re trying to tell your parents about your College Boards, Mom and Dad might do a turnabout and give you an explanation!

I like the SHAMROCK as a newspaper this year because the stories are better and there is more to it. But I don ' t think I will like the idea of having the SHAMROCK instead of a yearbook. No one told us why we aren ' t having the ECHO this year, and no one has fold us what ' s really going to be in the SHAMROCK be- sides all the school paper issues and senior pictures. I don ' t think many kids will pay more money for something they don ' t know about. We suggest that you read the story CC Merges Publications in the September issue of the SHAMROCK. ED. I think I like the idea on the whole. By binding the newspapers up our SHAMROCK yearbook will have all the news of this school year in it. My only complaint is that the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors will not be able to have individual pictures in it. My opinion of the SHAMROCK is: I like if as far as how much is in it, but I ' d prefer to have a regular yearbook like we had in other years. This year the SHAMROCK is very nice, the pic- tures are very clear, but I ' d still prefer the other yearbook. The paper itself I like, but combining the ECHO and SHAM- ROCK I do not think is a good idea. I do not believe that a lot of students want to pay $3 for a bound edition of what they paid $2 for during the year. But there ivill be much more in the bound edition than just the copies of the SHAMROCK! ED. I like the SHAMROCK. I like especially the bit about no ad- vertisements. I also like the size. We like the bit about no advertisemeyits too! ED. I didn ' t buy the SHAMROCK, but I read one of my friend ' s. I really like if and I wish now I would have gotten one in the be- ginning. It ' s not too late to subscribe! Come to the SHAMROCK of- fice and see us about a subscriptioti. ED. Do you have an opinion you ' d like to air? The SHAMROCK likes to get letters. Write to us!

The cards will be given to deaf children throughout the Fort Wayne area as teaching aids. In two weeks, the Daughters of Mary will begin their Christ- mas project. Mary Kessens suggested making dolls, bean bags, and stuffed animals as Christmas gifts for needy chil- dren in the city. All Daughters of Mary are invited to help with this worth-while project. - TI C The purpose of the Teacher ' s Interest Club, says Marcia Beckman, president, is to ex- pose future teachers to the many experiences they will encounter in their careers.

Saves Two Lives; Receives Hero ' s Award Joseph Leeuw, freshman in H.R. 105, examines the life-sav- ing award he received for res- cuing two men. Very few people ever get the opportunity to save somebody ' s life, and a person who has saved two lives is an even greater rar- ity. There ' s one of these greater rarities at CC this year. He ' s freshman Joseph Leeuw, 105. During the past year Joe has rescued two people by his quick thinking and his decisive action in a moment of peril. Joe made his first rescue last winter when he pulled a com- Music Dept. Elects Officers New officers have been elected in all the organizations of the Central Catholic Music Depart- ment.

It will be open to individual music students who attend diocesan schools. panion from the icy water at the Swinney Park skating pond. He and two other boys had been sledding when suddenly one of the sleds shot out on the pond and broke through the thin layer of ice that covered it. Joe crawled out on the ice and pulled the boy back to safety. The Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce presented Joe with a life saving award for this res- cue. The second rescue was made this summer at Crooked Lake. Joe and a Fort Wayne neighbor, Mr. E m m e 1 1 Pressler, were swimming and diving from a boat anchored in the lake. Mr. Pressler dived from the boat and didn ' t come up. Joe waited. He realized that Mr. Pressler had been gone for quite awhile and he dived in after him. He found Mr. Pressler unconscious in about 15 feet of water. Joe pulled Mr. Pressler to the sur- face, and dragged him to the shore, about 150 feet away. A Columbia City ambulance crew re -ived Mr. Pressler. A modest, quiet individual, Joe does not attribute the res- cues to any special factor. He is a member of the Swinney Park swim team, and once he took second place in the free-style event in the City Swim meet.

Former C C Returns As By Lynda Brandt A former graduate of Central Catholic, Sister Mary Fabian, SP, has stated that she enjoys being back at CC very much. It is so different to be here as a teacher instead of a student. There is so much school spirit now. I was very impressed by the enthusiasm at the pep ses- sions. The students will be cheering one minute and sud- denly there is a hush for the Memorare. That is real school spirit, she remarked. When Sister attended CC the fourth floor had not been built and the enrollment was consider- ably less. The boys were taught by the brothers and the girls by the sisters. They had a year- Grad Teacher book, and the SHAMROCK was just a mimeographed piece of paper. Sister Mary Fabian was so sure about her vocation that at graduation, when literature on marriage was being passed out, she said, Oh, don ' t give me any ' cause I won ' t need it. Bishop Noll had heard that she was planning to enter the religious life and when she knelt down to receive her di- ploma he asked her about it. She said that she was so sur- prised that she didn ' t know what to do. Sister Mary Fabian, whose homeroom is 205, teaches fresh- man Latin, English, and Re- ligion.

Bill 2 6 30 October 31, 1962 SHAMROCK Social Studies Inform, Instruct, Guide, Unite Why is government taught only to seniors ? Why is it a required subject? According to government teachers, Sister Hortulana, SP, and Mr. Daniel, seniors are more interested in their government than the other classes. For many, it will be their last chance to learn how our government is run before taking that full- fledged step into the world to join the ranks of the voting citi- zens. So far, the government classes have shown great interest in their country. However, they do lack considerable knowledge on current events. Mr. Daniel at- tributes this to the general lack of political interest demon- strated by most people in this country during periods of off year elections. Each teacher has planned ex- tra acti ' ities for the students this year. Sister Hortulana ' s classes will do research on vari- ous social problems such as juvenile delinquency, crime, la- bor, and divorce, for term pa- pers. If time allows, Mr. Daniel ' s classes may visit the county jail, the county court house and the Chamber of Commerce. They too will have a term paper. Every Friday in Mr. Daniel ' s classes, a session of congi-ess will be held by parliamentary procedure. Geography Increased emphasis on the study of geography at the sec- ondary level stresses diminishing distances in time and the part that Telstar plays in supplying us with an accurate knowledge to insure proper relationships and a basic understanding be- tween us and our neighbors in the Space Age. To make students aware of this need and to inspire interest in the world in which they live is the job of a geography teach- er. No longer can we be indif- ferent to events taking place on the other side of the world. The effect of such incidents may be felt in a matter of hours or min- utes. America needs alert, well informed citizens. The student Sharilyn Benton and Richard Marcotte find the use of the globe expedient in their study of geography. An important phase in the study of United States History is the reading of popular current event books. Sister Irma Agnes is discussing the assigned books with students Julie Centlivre, Kent Wall, John Connell, Mike Farber, Joe Schaefer,, and Pat Gillie. Ed Hultgren is shown stating his case during a class kine- posiem, (group discussion) in Sister Hortulana ' s government class. Also pictured are, left to right, Pat Gebhart. Maureen Glasch. Adrian Reimers, Barb Schlensker, Charles Schrimper. and Marilyn Klingenberger. who wants to widen his hori- zons, broaden his background, interpret current events in the light of physical environment and traditional cultural patterns may readily benefit from a high school course in geog raphy. U. S. History Sister Marj Christine ' s U. S. Historj ' class will hold panels on segregation, Cuba, and the Mis- sissippi crisis. The students have now begun to settle down to learn persons, places, and events which will help them in conducting the panels. Sister Irma Agnes ' classes will study the strategy of those who would undermine our gov- ernment by discussing Masters of Deceit by J. Edgar Hoover, Animal Farm by George Orwell, and other i-elated material. There will also be an investiga- tion of Americans who have up- held our democratic principals even at the sacrifice of their po- litical careers. Profiles in Cour- age by President Kennedy will be included in the classes ' re- search. Future plans for Sister Fan- cis Elise ' s U.S. History classes include group discussions and book reports on novels written about the Civil War. World History World History sei- es as an in- troduction to the social studies courses at CC. It provides a knowledge of basic historical fundamentals which can be built upon and enlarged in subsequent years, and it familiarizes the student with the cultures of other na- tions, both ancient and modem. World History tells the story of ci -ilization from the first cave man to the present-day astronaut. In a World History class one gets a taste of the mystery of Egypt, the sapience of Greece, the gaietj- of Italy, the romance of Venice, the splendor of France, the staunchness of Ger- many, and the rich imagination of America. CC ' s World Historj ' teachers are Mr. Kohl, Miss Pengelly, Miss Seyfert, and Mr. Walsh. 31 SHAMROCK October 31, 1962 ll By Diane Fullam on By Tom Hneber Gentlemen, this year gratitude must again go to the founders of the male clothing industry. Since there is nothing compar- able to the feminine hemline, or any other annual change, that leather wallet remains in posi- tion. The fair lady no longer has the edge in the stretch. New York manufacturers are produc- ing a synthetic suit which liter- ally moves when you move. However, it has retained the basic style (not pegged or skin tight anywhere). The stretch is utilized around the a:rms and knees and waist areas. Sport and suit coats should be straight, three-button with only the middle one fastened. Colors are unlimited, but dark shades are preferred for fall and winter evenings. Consei-va- tive patterns and plaids wll bie very popular, especially in that sport coat. For a more impressive ap- pearance, your trousers should blend with the dominant color of your jacket. Charcoal and medium also serve as excellent color combos. A narrow tie will look sharp with this or any other outfit you might choose. The button down, pin, and button-tab collars are all being displayed in men ' s clothing shops. Remember the collar is the center of attention in dress- ups. ' It is not important that it be of the latest ' styles or colors, but when you arrive at that fair lady ' s home — be sure it ' s neat and clean. Lojek Named Oct. Safe Driver Jan Lojek has been selected as CC ' s Courteous Driver of the Month. The Civics Club will choose a student each month to receive the award. The purpose of the award, which is sponsored by the Police Department, is to recognize and commend a cour- teous teen-age driver of each high school. Any student who has an op- erator ' s license and who has not had any traffic violations during the present school term is eli- gible. %. I. Fashion Flashes now takes a look at dressier clothes for those of you stepping out on the town. Many of our CC girls have been seen at Fort Wayne ' s newest attraction for teens, Young- town. The night club calls for dress attire so let ' s find out what ' s top on this style slot. First, since the air is getting crisp, a coat will be suitable. Sleek lines and A-shapes have the new American look. Camel, gray, navy and black are ele- gant, and red adds a flair to the winter colors. Fur mufflings, raffs, gold chains, and heraldic emblems adora coat apparel. Black is strictly for formal evenings. Wool dresses glow in shades of red and blue. Deep piled velvet is always feminine. Evening wear, whether wool or knit, will be minus sleeves. Again big pins complement the collar or bodice. For those pe- tite feet, satin or suede pumps assure smartness. Scents will always add to the affair, however, don ' t go over- board. Tweeds and sweet co- lognes may brighten winter air, but just a dab of these is needed. Well, that ' s it in a nutshell for your dressy winter wear. Next month we ' ll cope with some leading fashion problems. SL rod Salutes . . .

Gall And A. Reimers Relate What It ' s Like ' Do you like big surprises? Well, imagine how seniors Barb Gall and Adrian Reimers felt when they learned they were CC ' s semi-finalists in the Na- tional Merit scholarship compe- tition. Barb said she had no idea she would be a semi-finalist, and that she almost fainted when she heard the news. Adrian echoes her by saying It was really an unexpected shock. Barb ' s number one college choice is Saint Mary-of-th e- Woods, while Adrian has his eye on Notre Dame, Xavier Uni- versity, and the Catholic Uni- versity of America. He would like a career in math or physics, while Barb hopes to be an elementai-y school art teacher or a commercial art- ist. HAVE STUDY TIPS We asked Barb and Adrian if they had any study tips for fel- low CC ' ers. Barb quickly re- plied, Gee, I study the way most kids do, I guess. Adrian says, I put on lots of records and gather my books around. Studies and school activities keep Adrian and Barb busy. Both of them take physics, re- ligion, government, French, and fifth year math. Barb is also Sewing is the favorite hobby of Barbara Gall, National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalist. Barb, who makes most of her own clothes, finds it very worthwhile and enjoyable. Playing chess is a hobby fa- vorite of National Merit Schol- arship semi-finalist, Adrian Reimers. studying speech, and Adrian takes senior English. This duo is active in school organizations too. Adrian, a SHAMROCK staff writer, is president of CC ' s math club, treasurer of the Chess Club, an SSC rep, chapel server, and a member of the Science Club. His hobbies are chess and playing the piano. Barb, who came to CC last year from Syracuse, N.Y., is vice-president of the Senior French Club, a member of the Daughters of Mary and Art Club, and a Civics Club home- room rep. BARB COMPARES SCHOOLS When asked to compare CC with the high school she attend- ed in New York, Barb said that the schools are about the same but I think that CC ' s faculty and student body are much more friendly. Barb is the oldest in a fam- ily of nine children, and her hobbies are sewing and reading. She and Adrian represented CC on the Hi-Quiz television series this fall. The next step in the National Merit competition for Adrian and Barb is the College Board Aptitude Test, which they will take December 1 32 October 31, 1962 SHAMROCK Shamrock Presents Class Leaders Selected For 1962-63 Senior class officers are Jean DeBender. treasurer; Ben Merri- weather, president; Piiyllis Bail, secretary; and Tom Hueber, vice-president. Ben Merriweather, CC ' s new senior class president, hopes to study law after graduation, and receive his degree at Indiana University. Besides being president of the French Club junior year, he was a member of the Chess Club and the SHAMROCK staff. For the past two years, he has also rep- resented CC on th e Hi-Quiz show. A devout Catholic, hailing from Cathedral parish, Ben has served in the chajjel all during high school. In his spare time, Ben enjoys chess, books, Indian lore, and all types of sports. He is also ac- tive in Scouting. For the fourth year, popular Tom Hueber has been voted an officer by his classmates, this time to vice-president. Active in both football and track for three years, Tom has also found time to write for the SHAMROCK, attend Boys ' State, participate in the Sons of Mary, ser% ' e in the chapel, promote the CDL, and raise the CC flag every day as part of his Civics Club duties. A son of Precious Blood par- ish, Tom comes from a family of seven children, one of whom, Becky, is a frosh at CC. Tom enjoys football, track, golf, and dancing as hobbies, and is adept at all of these. Phyllis Bail, the pert Irish cheerleader captain, is now the secietai-y of the senior class. An intelligent, active miss, Boots is secretary of the CS- MC, a 2-year member of the Veronica Guild and the Daugh- ters of Mary, literaiy editor of the SHAMROCK, and has been listed on the honor roll all dur- ing high school. She was also a reserv-e cheerleader sophomore year, and belonged to the GAA for two years. Following graduation, Phyllis intends to become a medical technician, and is considering at- tending Marian College. Phyllis, a member of Saint Jude ' s, says her favorite pas- times are dancing and water skiing, and she enjoys her work at the State School, as part of the CCD program. Lively Regina DeBender, well- known Red Cross president, will now assume the roll of class treasurer. Well-versed i n leadership, .Jean is secretary of the Var- Patti Kintz, secretary; Bill Hoot, president; John Mauch, vice-president; and Julie Moth- erwell, treasurer; are the new junior class officers. sity Chorus, a Civics Club chair- man, secretary of Saint John — New Haven ' s CYO, and repre- sentative for SSC and CDL. Music and dramatics are dear to Jean ' s heart, as is obvious from her participation in school plays and concerts. She also loves water skiing and all sports. Jean intends to enroll in nurses ' training after gradua- tion, either at Holy Cross Hos- pital, Notre Dame, or at Good Samaritan Hospital in Dayton. Juniors Friendly Bill Hoot, chosen president of the junior class, names sports as his favorite pastime. This is easily understandable, since Bill has played football and run with the track team for the past three years at CC. A member of St. Vincent de Paul parish, Bill is an active CYO worker. Thi-ee-time winner of class elections, John Mauch will serve the juniors as vice-president this year. Active in most types of school extracurriculars, John is num- ber 28 on the varsity football squad, promotes the CDL, and is the president of his Explorer post. John who was elected twice to class president, enjoys reading in his spare time. Undecided as to which college he ' d like to attend, he has chosen engineer- ing as his profession. Patti Kintz, all-round junior miss, now holds the title of sec- retary. Patti has been in GAA three years, played in intramurals, is the Echo and SSC rep for 402, sings in the Varsity Chorus, and was a member of the sophomore Hi-Quiz team last year. She is also a member of the Veronica Guild and the Daugh- ters of Mary, and a cheerleader on the varsity squad. Patti enjoys all sports, espe- cially tap dancing, skating, swimming and water skiing. Following high school, Patti intends to enroll at St. Francis College, and major in languages. Julie Motherwell, the junior ' s choice for treasurer, hails from Queen of Angels parish and 410. Pictured above are sophomore officers Terry Hoog, vice-presi- dent; Ron Stanski. president; Joan Sauter, treasurer; and Dan leese, secretary. Active and interested in sports, Julie enjoys tennis, srt ' imming, ice skating, and dancing, and has earned her G. A triangle and numerals. Julie was class vice-president her freshman year, and this year is treasurer of the SSC. She also belongs to the Veronica Guild, Daughters of Mary, and TIC. About her election. Julie de- clared, I was shocked, but very happy! I ' ll try hard to uphold the standards of the class, so that kids can point out the jun- ior class as being really some- thing! Dan Meese, the new secretary of the sophomore class, is an- other avid sportsman. He en- joys football and track as both school activities and as hobbies, and, being a junior lifesaver, he is also fond of swimming. Dan, who names Latin as his favorite subject, plans to study Business Administration at No- tre Dame following graduation. Sophomores Ron Stanski, named president of his class for the second con- secutive year, is active in sports, especially football and basket- ball. He also enjoys dancing and bowling. A graduate of Queen of .A.n- gels grade school, Ron is treas- urer of the parish CYO, and also the SSC representative for .315. Very happy at his election, Ron said, It really took me by surprise! I sure didn ' t expect it. Besides being a swimming champ, redheaded Theresa Hoog is now the soph ' s vice-president. Terry, who spent the first half of her freshman year at the Notre Dame of the Lake Con- vent, stepped right into the CC 5pirit and was elected a reser ' e cheerleader. She is also 312 ' s SSC rep. Teri-j- ' s swimming skill is proved by her numerous trophies and medals. These she won in competitions on teams for the YWC. and McMillen. Lively Joan Sauter was chosen treasurer by the sophomores. -A. St. Peter ' s lass, Joan just loves cheerleading and all sports, es- pecially dodge ball and basket- ball. Joan ' s smiling face is often seen in CC halls, especially at .A.rt Club gatherings and Red Cross meetings. She is also S H . M R C K representative from Room 314. Everj ' thing is so wonderful! Joan said. I never expected the office, but I was so happy when I heard! Joan intends to enter nurses ' training at St. Joseph ' s Hospital after high school. 33 SHAMROCK October 31, 1962 Irish Tackle Archers For City Championship Br Ed HultKren This Friday night, November 2, one of the finest football teams the Irish have ever field- ed closes the ' 62 season against South Side ' s Archers. An Irish victory will give CC a clear City Series Championship with a 5-0 record. CC was ranked 14th in the state by Dr. Litkenhous, who has the Irish 25 points over South. We ' re looking for a much closer game, but if the Irish break loose, there ' ll be no stop- ping them. CC has won three years in a row, taking last year ' s contest, which gave Luers the City Championship, 6-0. The Irish have shown them- selves to be the best team in the city so far, as their high ranking indicates. In four City Series games against Concordia, Central, Luers, and North, CC has given up but si. points while scoring 131. One of the main reasons for this one-sided record is the oft- en-overlooked terrific front wall of the Irish. Led by Captain Jerry Sitko, this line, which in- cludes Charlie Schrimper, Bob Gaff, Larry Rodriguez, John Talarico, Mike Mowan, Stan Sitko, and Dick Zehner, has shut out its last three opponents, holding them to only ,330 yards — less than half rushing. At the same time, they have ground out almost 800 yards rushing, while blocking for 130 yards passing. Opponents in these three games have picked up only 23 first downs to CC ' s 46. The whole team is such a hus- tling group that they have been penalized almost 80 yards more than the opposition. CC Clobbers Central Sparked by the running of quarterback Tom Walsh and the passing of halfback Bill Krouse, the Irish decisively trounced the Central Tigers 36-0 Sept. 29 to take a giant step toward the city championship. After a scoreless opening per- iod, the Purple exploded for two Phil Charais (40). cutting outside, unidentified Irish team mate. gets assistance from an touchdowns on a six yard run by Walsh after a 79 yard march and a pass from Krouse to Walsh after Bob Gaff had blocked a Bengal punt. A fumble recovery by Larry Rodriguez set up the next CC tally. After sprinting 23 yards, Tom Hueber twisted into the end zone to score. Several min- utes later, Paul Boedeker scored on a pass from Walsh. The fourth quarter saw the Irish drive the ball 65 yards downfield with Krouse scoring on a five yard run. With two min- utes to go sophomore quarter- back Ron Stanski intercepted a Central pass, setting up the final touchdown. A pass from Krouse to Charais ended the scoring. Superior lineplay by the Irish was evident as they held the Tigers rushing game to a net 57 yards and consistently opened good holes for Irish backs. The CC offense, however, gained yai ' dage consistently, amassing a net of 266 yards and 15 first downs. School Songs Cheer, cheer for old CC High; Shake down the thunder from out the sky. Send a volley cheer on cheer, Let CC know that you are here. What though the odds be great or small. Old CC High will win over all. While her loyal sons are march- ing Onward to victory. Onward CC to the top Where you belong. Yours is the glory, History has made in song. March with your classmates To the top this honored day. We ' re proud to be CC High, We ' re behind you come what may. Onward CC, while we all Sing out this song. Over the top we lead to glory, Alma mater must stand strong. Onward CC, while we fight The fight that leads to glory. We ' ll cheer our boys to victory, March on CC! Coach Walt Bartkiewicz is getting ready to send Larry Bo- bay into action. • Irish Subdue Knights Two weeks later the Irish avenged last year ' s loss to Bishop Luers, which cost CC the City Championship, by whitewashing an injury-ridden Knight squad 19-0. The Pui-ple were plagued by penalties — over 100 yards — and could pick up only 210 yards and 12 first downs, but recovered three Luers fumbles and held the Knights to under 150 yards. Twice in the first quarter the Irish made deep thrusts into Luers territory, but ran out of downs both times. In the second period Tom Hueber used some of his strat- egy — running so close to de- fenders that they fall into the hole in which he is supposedly standing — to tally twice. Tom found a hole opened by the right side of the line and burst through on a 70-yard jaunt. Bill Krouse went 40 yards to the Knight 23, then Hueber went the rest of the way on a reverse with Dick Zehner leading the way. Tom Walsh ran for the PAT on a quarterback sneak. The final TD came on a six- yard plunge by Dick Forte, after Krouse had run 30 yards and passed to Phil Charais for 24. In the second half, Luers re- vised their defense, and the floating line held the Irish in check the rest of the game. Three Irish threats ran out of gas before they got close to the Luers 10, while the Knights moved to the CC 34 once and almost had a TD in the closing minutes. 34 October 31, 1962 SHAMROCK 1220379 Irish Maul North Behind a powerful line that ripped North ' s defense into shambles, five CC backs and a blitzing Irish lineman sprinted to eight touchdowns and a 55-0 win. The Mighty Irish rolled up almost 450 yards — by far the most this season — while the hapless ' Skins were held to less than 100. The blocking by Jerry and Stan Sitko, Schrimper, Rod- riguez, Mowan, Talarico, Gafif, Hoot, and Zehner was so over- whelming that even the sopho- mores ran roughshod over North in the third period. The slaughter began 20 sec- onds and two plays after the kickoff when Dick Forte cut off tackle and flew 27 yards to pay- dirt. Although CC failed to score in the second quarter, they did drive to the North 1-yard line with a pass from Walsh to Zehner. Mowan pounced on a North fumble at their 45 early in the second half, then five plays later Charais went over from the two. In a few minutes Stan Dilley scored on an end run after Charais had picked ofl ' a Red pass. On the first play after kick- off Rodriguez scooped up a fumble and, with a block from Schrimper, raced 15 yards into the end zone. Charais got the fourth TD in the 3rd period on a 41-yd. end run with a beautiful reverse. Krouse made the last TD on a 65-yard jaunt through the right side of North ' s line. Krouse, Charais, Walsh, and Zehner totaled 7 PAT ' s out of the possible 8. 77 Stan Dilley is being hauled down in the Redskin end zone after a 22-yard TD run. is John Talarico.

The Irish dropped a thriller to Indianapolis Scecina last Wednesday night 12-7, in a hard- fought battle that was not de- cided until the last 44 seconds. Scecina drew first blood early in the second quarter to go out in front 6-0. The Irish, how- ever bounced back midway in the third stanza on a 62 yard march downfield, climaxed by an eight yard scoring jaunt by Bill Krouse. Tom Walsh ran the point, and CC took the lead 7-6. The Irish couldn ' t hold it, though, as the %-isitors tallied again in the fourth period. The Purple refused to quit, and marched the ball deep into In- dianapolis territoi-j ' where they lost the ball on downs with but 44 seconds to go. Scecina then held the ball until the final gun. IRISH BALLAD The fans gave forth a cheer, A great ecstatic scream, As to the floor they jogged. The mighty Irish team. The Bengals jogged out, too, And fearsome did they seem. As they came out to face That fearless Irish Team. The ref tossed up the ball; The game was underway, And tension filled the air; The teams began to play. The lead rocked back and forth ' Twixt Purple and the Blue, And so the score stood tied When started stanza two. That quarter brought dismay To every Irish mind, For at the quarter ' s end The Purple were behind. Oh, was the City Crown To be a shattered dream ? Or could they close the gap. That dauntless Irish team? A rally they did stage, As bravely did they fight, ' Til soon the Irish knew Who was to win that night. That Central was to lose Was plainly to be seen. For they were now behind A winning Irish team. And when the grame was o ' er. Up went a deaf ' ning scream. For they had won the Crown; That champion Irish team I By Adrimn Retraera 35 SHAMROCK October 31, 1962 o a h cJ it erari f P ' aae fi rz) xminLScence By Rochelle Bruno When looking back to 1962, the things that seemed so modern then, now seem so terribly obsolete. For instance, the one thing that I think has particularly changed is the telephone. In 1962 we used a bulky fixture with the dial on it, and now we have a compact one piece dial in hand phone. Things have advanced in space, too. In 1962 when astronauts made orbital flights, it was considered progress; now we have a space station on the moon. Medicine has made terrific strides in cures for cancerous growths and researchers have almost found what a man has been looking for for ages, a cure for the common cold. Fashion, natur- ally, has changed quite a bit from the old- fashioned feminine apparel and hair styles of 1962. Paper shirts and blouses are being worn by evei ' yone and eventually this will carry over into all clothing. Basically, food hasn ' t changed much, although pack- aging has. Most products are now treated and packaged so that it ' s not necessary to refrigerate or freeze them. Some tubed foods have recently been made available to the public, but I don ' t think that they will really catch on because, while a tube may be more convenient, nothing can com- pete with the appetizing, aromatic appeal of, for instance, a thick broiled steak. When I think of how much the world has pro- gressed since 1962, I can ' t help but find myself imagining someone looking back and thinking how old-fashioned we are now, in 1972. Kitchen Crisis By Carol Junk From the moment I turned on the stove, my luck changed from indiflFerent to bad. The memory of the first dinner I cooked still lingers about the slightly charred pans. The potato peeler took quite a large slice of my skin as well as that of the spud. Choosing a vegetable posed quite a problem, so I just mi.xed the peas and corn together. The finishing touch was to be an angel food cake for dessert, but, thanks to my noisy little bi-other, that plan fell rather flat. Monumental Majesty By Virginia Hasley It was a dark night in Washington, D.C. Among the monuments which were bathed in light, the Lincoln Memorial attracted us most. After stopping the car, we ascended the steps reverently. We stood in awe be- fore the magnificient statue of the seated President which dominates the marble- columned building. Looking toward the wall, we read the inspiring words of his Gettysburg Address: Four score and seven years ago . . . . Backyard Bakery By John Connell Several years ago, it was the favorite pastime of the neighborhood kids to come over to the Connell ' s backyard and make pastries. I remember anything would do, but some of the most popular ingredients were dirt or sand, rotten plums, peaches and pears, tomato skins, and, if we were lucky, maybe a piece of stale bread. After we finished mixing this with some water we were ready to start molding it into a form which we wanted. Sometimes it would be a cake, pie, cookies, or maybe if someone was creative enough, doughnuts. Then after we baked them, in the sun of course, we would ask each other, Would you like to try mine? Naturally, we had some screw- ball who did and to tell you the truth, I never did hear of him getting sick vei-y soon after. Unique Occupation By Sharon Neuman Last summer I had an unusual oppor- tunity to watch some Indians of northern Wisconsin picking wild rice in a large field. A man would stand in the rear of a midget- sized rowboat propelling it deftly in and out among the grass-like stalks by means of a long pole, while his wife sat in the front beating rice into a blanket with two shorter sticks. When dusk descended each day, the buyers would arrive in two pick up trucks. The Indians could then sell the bags of rice which had been gathered dur- ing the course of the day. It was quite interesting to obser ' e how these people made their livings. Vacated Village By Robert Barton A large Canadian ghost town in lower Ontario brings back disheartening memories of a recent trip. Elliot Lake, situated in the center of rich uranium deposits, has been largely vacated because of a reduction in uranium needs. Once populated by sev- eral hundred thousand people, it has been reduced to a mere five hundred. Left un- occupied are thousands of beautiful homes, and many modern stores, all built within the last twenty years. They are artistic- ally scattered around a crystal clear lake, and the adjoining hillsides. Still, most of this had to be forgotten, and left is the most modern and largest ghost town in the world. Circus Excitement By Maxine Hart Early in the afternoon we arrived at the fair grounds. The aroma of popcorn, cot- ton candy, and that old circus favorite, fresh roasted peanuts, greeted us, along with the high pitched notes of the steam calliope. Excitement was the very essence of the air, and all the delightful aromas and sights contributed to this. People work- ing, lions roaring, and elephants trumpet- ing. The barkers were shouting for spec- tators to come see the many wonders. See- ing this circus with all its sights is an ex- perience I shall never forget. Johnny Angel By Sandra Boneff My first baby-sitting job was indeed a day to remember. Johnnie, a charming little angel of three years, proved to be the most unmanageable and diabolical ball of fire I had ever seen. Not being satisfied with spreading his numerous selection of toys all over his own room, he calmly pro- ceeded in decorating every room of the house with one or more of these master- pieces, which ranged from teddy bears to toy trucks. Little did I know when I ac- cepted this job that I would be watching a tireless three feet of uncontrollable mon- ster. Eternity By Diana Rucci Little drops of water. Little grains of sand.

The client stated his problem and settled back in the easy chair with these concluding remarks: Mr , referred me to you. He said you were very wise and would be able to give me the right answers. I ' ve told you my prob- lems. Now give me the answers. The psychologist pointed out that as long as the client had such a view, he could do little if anything to help the client solve his problems. The same can be said about guidance people in high school. Guidance counselors try to make information available to students (vocational, scholastic, testing re- sults, etc.) so that the students can make proper decisions about their future. No guidance director, parent or friend can ultimately solve a student ' s problem — he can only inform and encourage. The guidance program at CC is presently in its infant stage. The school hopes gradually to expand and develop it into an integral part of the school program. Father Isenbarger Guidance Director Be Alert! Wake up Catholic Americans! Do you know that Our Lady, under the title of the Immaculate Conception, is the patroness of the United States ? Are you aware of the warning about Communism that she gave to the world not so many years ago at Fatima? Have you heard about che Cuban crisis? Do you know about Krushchev ' s threats of burying us? Wake up Catholic teens ! In a few years we, the up- and-coming generation, will inherit this world. On Dec. 8, the feast of the Immaculate Conception, let ' s ask the patroness of the United States to help us, through her interce.ssion, to make this world a better one in which to live.

Sister Irma Agnes ' senior English class is presently study- ing the ballad, and Tom entertained by singing Dog Gone, his original ballad, and playing his home made lute. English is perhaps the most important single subject taught in high school. A thorough knowledge of grammar, vocabu- lary, spelling, and literature is vital to every young adult to- day, to insure the necessary background for the higher edu- cation, career, or vocation of to- morrow. The English department has developed the use of paper- backs in the reading program. In this way, great and classical books are made available to the students at minimum expense. For example. Sister Mary Lor- etta ' s senior English classes will read The Divine Comedy War and Peace, Oedipus Rex, and others from the Great Books Program in paperback form. Sister Bernarda ' s junior classes sponsor the Teenage Book Club and the Campus Book Club, and also have an SRA- Reading for Understanding kit to build comprehension skill and speed. Several teachers also employ the use of audio-visual aids in English. Sister Marietta, for one, will bring to her junior classes the power of Poe ' s short stories by means of records and tapes. Seniors will enjoy Mac- beth in the same way. Also, funds permitting, teachers will show movies of the classics to their students. Lorna Doone, Quentin Durwood, and King Richard and the Crusaders are Several junior classes will present research reports on Christmas customs around the world, and in February, seniors will create Valentines depicting the great love poetry of the world. Students are also doing inten- sive work in the Educational issue of The Reader ' s Digest. Each month they take tests in reading, vocabulary, and verb analogy, and special emphasis is rendered on writing skills. Special projects in sophomore English classes include the re- cording of a play in Mr. Kaough ' s class. In their literature course, sophomores cover non-fiction, short stories, poetry, and Julius Jim Schroeder delivers an speech class. Speech is a branch to juniors and seniors. a few of the movies scheduled for seniors this year. Special projects help to cre- ate a change of pace and spark enthusiasm in the classes. In Sister Irma Agnes ' senior Eng- lish class, Tom Hueber illus- trated the medieval ballad with his delightful imitation of a wandering minstrel. Students also display their knowledge of English and literature in form- al debates, symposiums, panto- mimes, and short dramas and plays. For Sister Hortulana ' s sen- ior English class, a special quar- tet of folk singers rendered bal- lads of the nineteenth century with musical accompaniment. interesting speech in Mr. Ort ' s of the English department open Caesar. They are aided by re- cordings and movies. Mr. McCIintock ' s classes plan to utilize the Reader ' s Digest in their literature studies this year. Sophomore English teachers also And paperback books a great help in their reading pro- gram. Mr. Kaough ' s classes use the Scholastic Book Services Club. Freshman literature is an in- troductory course, a combina- tion of all types of literature. The purpose of our text is to familiarize young students with samples of good, and in some cases, great literature, says Sister Regina Therese, SP, freshman English teacher. During the year, Mr. Kohl ' s class will act and direct a play. Students in Mr. Moulin ' s class will produce a short drama, and give a speech in the form of a commeixial. Audio-visual aids are fre- quently used by freshman Eng- lish teachers. Sister Regina Therese ' s classes will see a film as an introduction to Shakes- pearen theater. Mr. Moulin ' s classes will hear records of the Merchant of Venice. Frosh teachers Miss Pengelly, Sister Mary Fabian, SP, and Sister Irma Ignatia, SP, report that they use paperback books in their reading pr ogram. In Mr. Kohl ' s class, students sup- ply their own books for the reading period. Mr. Moulin ' s classes use the Teenage Book Club.

Latin Latin is a key to learning and culture. Anyone who wishes a clear and comprehensive under- standing of English may achieve this through the aid of Latin grammar, vocabulary, litera- ture, and history. This will garner a rich classical back- ground for a study of literature, especially English literature. Students will be assisted in the future by a study of Latin. English vocabulary will grow, precision in and application of grammatical rules will be de- veloped. Latin is the language of science, math, and the arts. CC ' s Latin teachers are plan- ning special activities for future months. Sister Mary Austin, SSND, says, Among the activities we have charades and scrabble. Lat- in playlets and hymns are also in the offing. At the present time there is a display in room 203 of Roman life, etymology, mythology, famous Romans and Roman places, remarked Sister Pa- tricia Eileen, SP. The classes of Sister Mary Fabian, SP, will do independent research in Latin dramatization and derivation of Latin nouns. In March students will take the Auxilium Latinum test. Sister Mary Loretta ' s classes are planning a soap project in which students will carve pil- lars, aqueducts, temples, forum ruins, and other examples of Roman antiquity. Latin may increase one ' s po- tential in many fields. In addi- tion to the study of grammar and literature, there is a varied choice of related fields of re- search, including archaeology, papyrology, Christian and Latin music, dancing and drama. French Bonjour! French I and II are taught by Sister Marie Angele, SP, in room 305. First year French students are following the book in learn- ing vocabulary, verbs, and tenses. For better pronouncia- tion, the students are listening Hola Amigos I greet Ken year Spanish students. Sister Marie Angele shows senior students Gloria Minich, Chuck Schrimper, and Jane Westerman pictures photographed in France. Sister Patricia Eileen, flanked by Richard Obergfell and Nancy Turner, shows off her Latin cultural exhibit. Spanish This year Sister Marj- An- gele, SP, heads the Spanish de- partment, which is composed of juniors and seniors. Third and fourth year stu- dents generally have some idea of what they plan to do upon graduation, and realizing that the knowledge of a second lan- guage is quite an asset in col- lege and in the business world, many students take high school Spanish. Excellent job opportunities in Peace Corps work, military and governmental agencJes await the person who can speak Span- ish fluently. Social workers in Florida urgently need Spanish- speaking Americans to help the Cuban inimigi-ants. The methods of teaching Spanish are quite modem and improved, remarked Sister Mary Angele. I attribute much success to the use of records and the tape recoi-der in the class- room. The senior Spanish Club conducts monthly meetings, at which only Spanish is spoken, thereby enabling the student to acquire a larger and more prac- tical vocabulary. Upcoming juniors would do well to give these possibilities some serious thought. An ac- tive interest in this subject could lead up to a profitable career. Auer and Rita Rosswrum, first- to records and tapes. They al- so know a few French songs. Second year French students are having a thorough review of verbs and vocabulary. Each stu- dent has subscribed to the French magazine. La Croisade. The magazine, written entirely in French, contains French news, songs, puzzles, sports, and recipes. It would be very in- teresting to see if any student could follow these recipes and come up with the same dish as was intended. The French Club, headed by Charles Schrimper, meets every month during class time. The meetings are conducted in French with such activities as pantomimes and password. 49 SHAMROCK November 30, 1 962 By Tom Hueber k lon By Diane FalUni Questions, questions, ques- tions! We get many from you CC readers. So now we will at- tempt to answer a few. What will most of the girls be wearinK to the basketball games and dances this year? Skirts and sweaters seem to fill up the docket. They remain most popular in dyed to match shades. Jumpers are coming up in the fashion world, espe- cially the tweed and A-line style. The bermuda skirts are solely for sportswear and should only be worn with knee-highs. Simple black flats go best with the skirt set. Are the darker tones of ny- lons becoming more popular? The popularity of darker hose remains the same. They are to be worn after five only, please! What colors are more becom- ing to girls with brown hair? Don ' t pick the shades of your clothes according to the color of your hair. Match them up with your complexion coloring and your eyes. For instance, if you have olive-toned skin, browns and oranges should be your de- light. If you ' re a fair maiden, pastels will really complement you. What about the length of skirts this year? Straight skirts will fall di- rectly below the knee. Pleated skirts come to the middle or be- low it, whichever you prefer. Are the boot shoes worn by the girls considered common? This year they are instyle, however they are not too popu- lar with everyone. Personally, I think the leather, Italian boots are smart with sportswear. Are the bouffant hairdos leaving the fashion scene. Tresses are now taking a rather smooth look. The bouf- fants are still very popular, but there should never be any trace of back-combing. What type of white blouses will be in style this year? Since white blouses are in the majority at CC I ' m sure this is a pertinent question. Simple blou.ses with no ruffles are suit- able. Very feminine blouses al- ways look smart. Shirt styles are about the most popular. Specifieaity Speaking ei Should pegged pants be cuffed? The presence of a cuff is op- tional on ivy-styled trousers. Without the cuff there is a double thickness of material. When cuff is added this is quad- iTjpled, insuring longer wear. Remember, the life you save may be your pants. Continentals should never have cuffs. Does the pin type tie clasp seem to be coming in to style and the bar going out? The ascot (small button-type pin) and the narrow tie bars are almost equal in popularity ac- cording to local men ' s clothing store operators. Is the safety pin style the best collar pin to use? This safety pin style is still popular, but the eyelet pin is more prominent. The eyelet pin is a straight bar which has one removable end. What do you think will be the sport-coat fad? These will be the most popu- lar this year: • subdued plaids which can be worn with any plain trousers • plain colors in camel hair (these are really sharp) • coUarless cardigan is tops in high style . re the tapered pants still the latest or are they going out of style? The pegged pants are gone, man, gone. There is a differ- e n c e between tapered and pegged, however. Pegs are tight from the knee down. Tapered pants are adjusted slightly in the entire length. This slim appearance is utilized in the popular continental wear. What do you think about those trench coats which make the boys look like gangsters? The short trench coat with a half belt in back is really catch- ing on, especially in the darker shades — just the facts, ma ' am. 10-4. I have a question for you readers. Wouldn ' t it look great if the girls all wore white blouses and the fellas white shirts to the basketball games ? Remember the North Side contest of last year? Now that Thanksgiving has passed, we ought to turn our attention toward the next, and last, major holiday we will cele- brate this year. Nineteen hundred sixty years ago, Jesus Christ was b orn into the world. In a stable inadequate for a king, this King captured His first breath on the earth He created, to redeem all mankind from eternal punish- ment. In 25 days we will celebrate His birthday, but how many of us will actually devote some thoughts to the spiritual sig- nificance of it? Do we unknow- ingly separate Christ from Christmas ? Already, downtown retail merchants have been offemg kissy dolls, and aluminum Christmas trees, spreading the Yuletide spirit so thinly over such a wide area that we can- not help losing sight of its true meaning. It seems, to these people, that Christmas symbol- izes an abundance of wealth that can only be represented by dollars and cents. These are poor substitutes for the motives we should have during this season. The encouragement of early Christmas shopping re- duces the religious spirit of it. Buyers are urged to purchase the most appropriate gift at the most economical price, thus driving the real incentives for Yuletime gift-giving from their hearts. Christmas is thus commer- cialized as its spirit is drowned in the jangle of cash registers. What melts my heart on Christmas day is hearing my little sister, having ripped the wrapping from a carefully pre- pared package and seen the contents, replying, in the sin- cere tones of a five-year-old: Thank you, Tom. Merry Christ- mas. oD ol- It I l erform.A ( haritu iJUorki Daughters of Mary, headed by Janice Skevington and Julie Brainerd, collected baskets of food for the needy people of Fort Wayne at Thanksgiving time. The baskets were given to the Catholic Charities for distribution. The Christmas project is un- derway this month. At a re- cent meeting at Mary Kessens ' home, the junior and senior members stuffed cloth dolls and animals, which they made. The toys will be given to children in the Fort Wayne area at Christmas time. Other D of M members are working with the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, helping teachers at the State School and the Catholic Center. Mem- ber.-; go on Saturday mornings to the State ScJiool to teach the children prayers and relig- ious doctrines. Mondays at 7:30 p.m. the Cath- olic Center is open so that the girls can make multiplication cards and other educational helps for the children. Members cited for depend- ability in this project are Jo Ann Schlotter, Janet McCrady, I.inda Platter, Christine Lotha- mer, Diane Fry, Rita Avila, Ruth Krauskopf, Galene Feasel, Barb Fisco, Jo Ann Lyttle, Anne Skevington, and Roberta Miller. Officers of the organization, which is moderated by Sister Fran cis Borgia, SSND, are Jan- et Peden, president; Donna Gierc, secretary; and Pat Bu- chanen. treasurer. Daughters of Mary, Pat Luken, Diane Murray, Dawn Charis, Ruth Krau.soff. and Anita Wirtner construct materials used for teaching religion at the Catholic Center. Absent when the picture was taken were Nancy Kahn, and Mary Sue Lassen. 50 November 30, 1962 SHAMROCK CC To Take On Tough Bulldogs; Lose To Alumni Central Catholic ' s roundball squad, directed by Coach Leon Youngpeter, travels to New Haven tonight to tussle with a toug-h Bulldog quintet that boasts a 1-0 record. In defeat- ing Ashley 55-50, New Haven had four men in double figures, indicating a well-balanced at- tack. The Irish came out on top of last year ' s conflict 67-57, but the Bulldogs are expected to have a much stronger unit this season. ALUMNI TAKE REMATCH A tall, powerful alumni team proved to be too much for the Irish, who suffered the first set- back of the young season, 62-53 in the CC gym. For three periods the varsity played the vets on even ground, but saw a 40-38 lead shift to a 50-40 deficit in the opening min- utes of the final quarter. Led by Dwight Craft, the var- sity jumped to a 16-11 lead af- ter one period and a 30-20 margin at the half. Tony Zych was high for the varsity, followed by Dwight Craft and Steve Krull. Fighting Irish Cage Tigers; Open Defense Of City Title Central Catholic took a firm grip on the City Series race by knocking off highly rated Cen- tral 53-51 at the Coliseum Thanksgiving Eve. Smooth passing and rebound- ing hustle, plus timely shooting, kept the Irish in front as the Tigers always stayed within a few points and led a few times in the second half. Central jumped off to a 2-0 lead and built it up to 8-2, the Irish points coming on a jump shot by Tony Zych. Then Steve Krull and Fred Dubois hit for four apiece, Tony and Steve hit again, and CC had a 14-10 bulge when the Tigers called time out at 2:33. Carl Jacquay made it 16-10 with a tip-in and Krull picked up his eighth point, setting the score at 18-10. A new Central unit started the second period, in which the Central Catholic All City football players surround the foot- ball bell and individual awards. Kneeling are Mike Mowan and Tom Hueber, Standing are Bill Krouse, Jerry Sitko, Dick Zehner, John Talarico, and Tom Walsh. CC Captures City Crown Scuttles South Side 18-7 The Central Catholic Fight- ing Irish struck for two touch- downs in the second half to earn a hard fought victory over an upset-minded South Side eleven. The Irish struck early when, on the fourth play of the game. Bill Krouse burst through the line and jaunted 65 yards for a touchdown. The try for the extra point failed and CC went ahead 6-0. South took the lead early in the second quarter on a touch- down and the P.A.T. The re- mainder of the half saw neither team make any serious threats, as the ball was exchanged four times. Early in the second half the Irish took an Archer punt on the CC six yard line. Relying primarily on power plays through the line, the Purple drove 95 yards for a touchdown with 1:31 left to go in the quar- ter to lead 12-7. In the fourth period, the Archers were on the march when Tom Walsh i ntercepted a South Side pass and scampered 80 yards for a TD. However, the touchdown was nullified be- cause of a clipping penalty. This only staved off the inevitable for a little while, for several min- utes later Bill Krouse broke over his own left tackle, reversed his field and sprinted 39 yards into the end zone. The Irish were again threatening when the final buzzer sounded, giving CC the victory, 18-7, and the City Crown, 5-0. Frosh Girls Top School In Volleyball The class of ' 66 has a feather in its green cap. The freshmen girls won the 1963 GAA volley- ball tournament held Nov. 14, 15, and 16. The frosh downed all opponents to emerge the victors, unseating the class of ' 65, who reigned as last year ' s champs. The seniors placed second with two wins, while the sopho- mores and juniors copped third and fourth places, respectively. Congratulations, f r e s hmen, for winning a hard-fought tour- nament. Irish could come up with only six points. Free throws by Zych and Tom Walsh and fielders by Tony and Krull gave the Irish their big- gest margin 24-14, before Cen- tral brought it up to the half- time score of 24-21. Both teams got going in the third period, racking up 20 points each. Krull Sinks Two Krull sank two from the foul line, but the Tigers moved ahead 27-26 before Dwight Craft put CC back in front. Central came back in front 31-28, Jacquay hit a foul shot, then Krull and Craft went under for lay-ups and Dwight hit from the field, making it 35-31 Irish as Cen- tral called time at 3:58. The Tigers knotted the score at 39- 39 after two free throws and a goal by Krull. Zych made two free tosses, Craft one, and Jacquay tapped one in under the basket for a 44-41 margin after 24 minutes. CC was outscored in the final quarter 10-9, so the three-point lead held up although the Tigers had led at 47-46. Ihvight and Carl set CC at a 50-47 lead, then Zych ' s free throw made it 51-48 and Dubois ' 52-50. Jacquay Hurt With two minutes left, Carl Jacquay had to be taken out with an injury and Irish re- bounding power was greatly hampered. CC took a time out at 1:11 and slowed the pace down, leading 52-51. An Irish shot was short, but Steve Krull pulled down the rebound. The Tigers got the ball with 13 sec- onds, missed a shot, and Fred Dubois was fouled under the boards. He made the first, and the Irish hung on to their 53-51 lead to win the third of the last four games against Central. Krull was high with 18, fol- lowed by Zych with 12, Craft with nine, Jacquay with seven and Dubois with five. 51 SHAMROCK November 30, 1 962 CT==: oLiL P S TD eraru - aae Deatk ' s Visit Qur Hallowed Halls It was a bleak day.

Or so says every senior, junior, and sophomore at Central Catholic. But actually I think freshmen are break- ing our upper-classmen ' s tradition, for I ' ve yet to see a freshman you could label tim- id and shy. In fact, I think you will have to admit that we ' ve adjusted ourselves ex- tremely well to the rigor and romance of high school life. So we ' ll give you fair warning to watch for great initative and achievement in the class of ' 66. By Kathy Gall The halls of Central Catholic are always busy between the classes. They are burst- ing with excitement, knowledge, gossip, and sometimes studies. The kids in those halls are part of an always busy school year. There are many things in those halls that mean a lot to me: the teachers stand- ing at the door smiling to ones they know; pupils rustling through their messy lockers; and the tremendous school spirit. From the first bell to the never com- ing last bell, you ' ll find this school can ' t be beat for meeting new and cheerful friends. These are the halls you won ' t forget, even if you want to! By Tim Wright Song Of The Sophs Up the steps and through the halls, The sophomores lead the way; They carry their books And the way it looks Muscle-bound they ' ll be some day. Through the air and in the rim, Oh, how that ball does go! The reserve team plays And points the way To defeating many a foe. On the bleachers and in the stands. The cheering block does sit; Each point they will cheer And please lend an ear To the lively yells they hit. Over geometry and through the graphs, The sophomores duly trudge; The angles are acute That arc is a beaut But parallels never budge. In the lab and on the stand, The microscope we see; Bacteria grows Everyone knows The frog is cute as can be. Through these months and over the year. The sophomores gaily show; It ' s plain to me That you can see This class is on the go. By Mary Shirmeyer Book Review The Man Who Got Even By Reverend M. Raymond, OCSO This is the biography of John Green Hanning, a typical boy with a Kentucky temper and a volcanic get even spirit John Hanning left his home after a bitter clash with his father. The Quick One spent nine years as a cowboy in the West. After returning to Kentucky, he entered the monastery and God changed the tur- bulent cowboy into a gentle saint. I ' ll get even. I always do. This was the principle that governed John Green Manning ' s life. As a boy, he got even when school-boy tricks were played on him. When he was sixteen he got even with his father in a most violent way. Then he got even with all those who thought he, who could never hold his tongue or his temper, couldn ' t be a monk by becoming one. Finally, he got even with God. He resolved to show Christ that His infinite love of Calvary and the cross was not in vain. He did this by his Trappist life of silence, sacrifice, and sanctity. By Rochelle Brano The Noisy Quiet Room I am in study hall, a place of quiet restful study and concentration. But, the noise is sometimes maddening. It ' s not really loud, rowdy noise, but more of a murmuring harmony of sounds. Text books opening and shutting, writing paper rus- tling, and pens scratching are the most common noises. Sometimes, there are a few students working at complicated geometiy. Then you hear scraping rules and the metallic sound of compasses. Often, some very serious students will be studying hard. You can hear them tapping their pencils or drumming their fingers on the desks while pounding notes into their heads. A rare sneeze and a cough or two complete the symphony.

No. 5 Students Enter Talent Search Six senior students are presently plan- ning to enter the Westinghouse Science Talent Search, sponsored by the Science Clubs of America. Top prizes are West- inghouse scholarships and a trip to Wash- ington, DC, for the top forty entrants in the country. Entrance requirements are a 1000 word paper on a science topic, a personal data blank designed to evaluate the student ' s prospects as a scientist, and a test cover- ing all phases of science. The six contestants gave this information concerning their research papers: Chuck Schrimper, 303: By use of plane- polarized light, I plan to investigate the points of stress on a celluloid beam and determine the points of greatest stress by the induced double-refraction of light. This is the basis of photo-elasticity. Adrian Reimers, 304: In my project, I intend to show my original proof for the famous Four-Color Map Theorem. This proof is based on the principles of net- work topology. Jerry Lash, 300: I ' m going to show the origin, development, and modem-day uses of the rocket. I ' ll also be dealing with the interior and exterior ballistics of rockets. Ed Hultgren, 300: My project consists mainly of theorems and methods of work- ing with congruences, a Number Theory topic. Alex Muller, 304: I am working ■ith an experimental kind of motor which operates both on alternating and direct current. Maureen Glasch, 300: The purpose of my project is testing the effect of light on a photo-electric cell which will be running a small motor.

This is the same as saying that the light ray that started out from one of these stars the night Our Lord was bom, is still only one-fiftieth of the way across to the other star. Thus, proudly says the astronomer, see how close we are to Christ; 2,000 years are .the briefest moment, compared to eternity! The theologian says, however, that we are closer to Christ than the poor astron- omer thinks. Our Faith and our reception of the sacraments (especially Baptism) makes us one with Our Lord, every moment of the day. All things He did on earth are our joy, our merit; they are ours in the fullest sense of the word. The angels and the shepherds had nothing on us. We hold Christ in our heart. Let us unbend the stiffened sinews of our Faith and our confidence on Christmas and throughout the season. Let us thank Him. That His Joy may fill your hearts and minds is the blessing I wish you all this Christmas. Father Hammond Princi The end of the year makes an apropos time for CC ' ers to make a belated Thanksgiving. Before you make your New Year ' s resolutions, think over what a good year 1962 has been. Remember : • John Glenn pioneering into space for the US • The tests we passed in school • Your full refrigerator • The blessings of family life • When the Fighting Irish won the city football and basketball championships • Peaceful settlement of the Cuban crisis • The dedication of the religious at CC • Happy moments with your friends Diane FuUam - cene ... A cold wind sweeps across the Kremlin. People scurry about the streets, hurrying to work. It ' s Decem- ber 25. In their cozy offices, the Red bosses laugh. They ' ve succeeded in obliterating Christmas. Sure, a few of the old people still go to church, but on the whole, Christmas is just another day . . . . . . Laughter and merriment fill the air. A huge tree, laden with shimmering ornaments and glittering lights shines out from the corner of the room. A moun- tain of packages is piled under the tree. Glasses chnk, champagne and conversation flow . . . . . . The packages have been unwrapped, and the family starts out for Midnight Mass. In the distance, the stained-glass windows of the church glow in the dark like jewels on a crown. Snow crunches under people ' s feet as they ascend the church steps. Inside, tall tapers flicker on the altar; the choir sings softly. The church Nativity scene calls to mind the events of the first Christ- mas . . . . . . The sky is aglow with a strange light, which hovers over a stable at the edge of Bethlehem. Inside the stable, a beautiful young woman gazes lovingly at her new-born child. The Baby I ' aises His tiny hand ; He smiles at His mother. Outside an angel choir sings Gloria in excelsis Deo ... Maryann Schlie Irish Stew ' t ' A bell was ringing throughout the city!

Miss Toledo Reminisces tc =0=©= On Arrival In America To most CC ' ers, Spain is an exciting, far-away land of bull- fights and flamenco dancing. But to our own Miss Toledo, Gijon, Spain, means home. August 30, 1961, Miss Toledo boarded a ship sailing for the United States. After the dither of arrival, customs, and papers was over, she headed for Michi- gan and Sienna Heights Col- lege. Here she perfected her skill in English, and tackled courses in geometry and chem- istry. Just a year later, Miss Toledo was asked by Monsignor Lostor to join the CC faculty. She is kept busy with five classes of geometry and one of chemistry. When asked how the CC stu- dents differ from her Spanish students, she commented, The American boys and girls seem so much older than our Spanish boys and girls. I think it is because they are more independ- ent. Reminiscing, Miss Toledo stated, Someday I hope to re- turn to my home in Spain. I have many friends whom I have not spen for a long time. Miss Toledo prepares a chemistry experiment with some stu- dents. Pictured left to right are Francisco Robles, Mike Suelzer, Carol Junk, Miss Toledo, Kathy Miller, and Susan Thelen. ' cck ceJ ' cuhif The Icbe For Christmas Customs On Christmas the children of Bulgaria receive gifts from Grandpa Koleda, an ancient winter god who is the Bulgar- ian Santa Claus. The father of the family lights the yule log and the children strike it, proclaiming good wishes as the sparks fly into the air. The Chinese Christmas tree is called the Tree of Light. This tree is decorated with bril- liant paper flowers, colored pa- per chains, and cotton snow- flakes. In Brazil, Christmas Eve be- gins with an open-air Mass at midnight. The altar is set up in the cathedral churchyard un- der the brilliant tropical sky. The worshipers pray and chant hymns in a fiesta atmosphere. The feast of Saint Lucia, Dec. 13, marks the opening of the Christmas season in Sweden. The Swedish people believe that their ancestors come back to their former homes on Christ- mas Eve, and so the living be- have as intruders for that night. The holiday ' s celebrations end with tree-trimming. Members of all denominations assemble to worship and sing carols in the Church of the Na- tivity in Bethlehem — directly above the birthplace of the Holy Child as one of the Christmas customs of Palestine. Ed. note — the above Christmas customs came from Sister Ber- nardo ' s English classes. Junior participants in the I M Hi-Quiz this year will be Henry Reitzug, Virginia Hasley, Henry Marciniak, Rita Rick- etts, Kent Wall, Jane Baker, Robert Barton, Anne Sommers, Oscar Suros, and Helen Reimers. • • CC students united their spir- itual bouquet of Holy Masses and Communions with those of all the Catholic students in the United States as a Christmas present for Pope John XXIII. The movement was initiated by the Central Sodality in St. Louis and was promoted at CC by the Student Spiritual Council. Bill Krouse and Jerry Sitko represented the CC Lettermen ' s Club at the recent Lettermen ' s banquet at South Side High School. Bill and Jerry are two of the seven I rishmen who re- ceived all-city honors in foot- ball this year. Total adult season basketball tickets sold this year is 175. The student ticket total tallies at 1300. Father Hammond, principal, stated that this year ' s ticket sales picture is some- what better than last year ' s. Fort Wayne ' s answer to Com- munism was manifested in the recent Christ Child Festival held at the Coliseum. CC stu- dents made a sizeable contribu- tion to this effort to keep Christ in Christmas. One of the features of the program was the high school display under the direction of Mr. Earl Stanley. The partici- pating schools. North Side, Central, and Central Catholic, painted large murals depicting scenes of the Holy Family. The Irish artists, headed by Bill Witte, included Martha Till, Mary Angela Eggers, Karen Obergfell, Jane Baker, Anne and Susan Kinsey, Julie Centlivre, Mary Sue Lassen, and Diane Bechtol. The CC Concert Choir, direct- ed by Mr. Joseph Woods, sang a repertoire of Christmas carols on the opening night of the Festival. CC ' ers also took part in vari- ous displays not directly con- nected with the school. 55 SHAMROCK December 21,1 962 From Pops To Classical Music Opens Door To Harmony The Concert Choir, which has 25 members, is made up of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. To belong to the Concert Choir, a student must have taken one year of Varsity Chorus, or know how to play a musical in- strument. Besides participating in the concerts, this group writes its own Comedy Revue, which will be held this year Jan. 13. During the Christmas season the choir will sing for the Op- timist Club, at the Lincoln Tow- er and go Christmas caroling. Another of its activities is singing at the annual Christ Child Festival. The Varsity Chorus consists of members from all four classes. The chorus practices every day between 11:2.5 and 11:55. Besides singing, they are taught to read and to count music. The Varsity Chorus also takes part in the CC concerts. Concert Offered Each year, in the third week of October, the CCHS Sym- phony Orchestra offers its an- nual concert. This year the Concert Choir joined to sing selections from Leonard Ruben- stein ' s West Side Story. The pi ' ogram usually features stu- dent soloists and some great works. The Christmas Concert in early December brings the Mu- sic Department family to- gether with the appearance of the String Oi-chestra, Concert Hand, Concert Choir, and Vars- ity Chorus. The combined ef- forts bring the magic of Christmas Spirit and a retell- ing of the Birth of Christ mu- sically by all of the students. Laughs are in store for those who attend the Musical Revue, this year to be presented in Jan- uary. Each year an original revue is planned and the mem- bers of all groups give their personal interpretation of songs of great composers. More than marches will greet your ears at the February Band ( mcert. True, for you march fans, marches are included in thi- program, but don ' t be sur- prised if you hear a little Tschai- kovsky or maybe even a little Di.xieland. The soloists may prove to you that we do have talent in this school, and you may find yourself in the middle (if a jam session. The CCHS Choral Concert in March will otfer to you a re- membrance of the season of I ent and a forward look to Easter. Students Place Hearts in Work Sunday, Dec. 9, gave proof of what one man and many co- operati e students can accomp- lish if the whole heart and soul are put into their work.

Diana Rucoi, (row 2), Ginyer Hasley, Mary Brown, (row 3), Carole Daszewski, Cheryl IVeiberger, and Elizabeth Xulf. is the type of remark that was heai-d repeatedly many times after the CCHS c o m b i n e d Christmas Pageant concert in the Central Catholic auditorium- To open the concert, Seasons Greetings were extended by Tom Snider, president of the Varsity Chorus. His address was followed by a musical request of the Varsity Chorus to Come, Singing Noel. The Birthday of a King, featuring Patrick Kite, baritone soloist, was fol- lowed by the lubilant Fanfare for Christmas Day. A Happy Yuletide was the wish of Patricia Byanski, presi- dent of the String Orchestra. As Shepherds Wat -h Their Flocks By Night set the mood Mr. Woods conducts the String Orchestra and the Concert Band at the recent Christmas Concert. for the invitation that Good Christian Men Rejoice and the children were reminded Santa Claus Ls Coming to Town by the Orchestra. A Joyous Holiday was the greeting of the president of the Concert Choir, Angela Purs- ley. The choir reminded all that The Snow Lay on the Ground at the time of Christ ' s birth, as well as now, and ex- pressed the feeling that Christ Is Born again and again In the hearts of men. Sing Gloria In Excelsis! was the final request of the choir. John Monroe, president of the Band, gave his wish for a Merry Christmas. Yuletide Festival brought a welcome guest to the children in the form of Frosty the Snowman, but a glance at the program .showed Frosty to be none other than Judy Dodane. A Sleigh Ride suggested by Karen Kaliker, Virginia Sam- reta, Jn.Ann Moore, Judy Koch, and Donna Stone, six of the CC- HS musician-majorettes brought on Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, but Rudolph had a split personality — Larry Till and Mike Sauter. Christmas with Our Neighbors, featuring younger brothers and sisters of band members, brought from the band Jingle Bell Rhapsody and a visit from a red-headed Santa Claus that turned out to be John Suelzer. .• Christmas Cantata, which combined Concert Choir, Vars- ity Chorus, and String Orches- tra brought the program to a linale. 56 Dressed in its holiday ensem- ble, the chorus entertained the audience by presenting the story of the birth of Christ through music of different lands. c oncevi Director of Musical Education is Mr. Joseph M. Woods. His responsibilities include the band, orchestra, concert choir, and varsity chorus. Teaching these four classes daily, he not only instructs his students in musical techniques, but also deepens their appreciation for good mu- sic. Part of the Christmas Concert this year showed how this holi- day is celebrated in Mexico. The little children, after breaking the pinata, were taken for a ride in Santa ' s sleigh. Shown drawing the sleigh are the Cen- tral Catholic majorettes and Rudolph. The whole music department joined in the rendetion of Han- del ' s Messiah, which was pre- sented at the Christmas Concert. Collecting and identifying leaves was a major activity in Sister Mary Aileen ' s bi- ology classes. Shown with their projects are Colleen Gibson, Sharilyn Benton, Joan Sauter, Alicia Romillo, Judy VanGheluwe, and Mary Lazoff. Mr. Kaough relates art to literature for his sopho- more English students Marilyn Lehman, Don Ruble, and Dan McVey. Guiding and inspiring the students through sophomore year are seated: Sister Regina Theresa, Sister Marietta, Sister Ber- narda. Sister Mary Aileen, Sister Mary Magdalen; and standing: Sister Augustine, Mr. McClintock, Mr. Kaough, Mr. Berber, Mr. Boyle, Mr. Finch, and Sister Mary Timothy. , 2 7 ROW 1: T. Sample, L. Torres, R.

Making decorations for the Holiday Hop, which was held after the Irish Invita- tional Tourney, are Jerry Sitko, Tom Locke, Jean Jordan, Judy Richards, and Diane FuUam. Insert: Chuck Schrimper was the gen- eral chairman for this activity, which was sponsored by the Central Catholic Civics Club. The Mothers ' Club, a group organized for financial aid to the school, is led by Mrs. Wayne Miller, president; Mrs. Arthur Schlup, vice- president; Mrs. Charles Smith, secretary; Mrs. John Miller, treasurer.

Tir wan December 21, 1962 SHAMROCK A With Classes And Clubs A L = = ' Cheering Block The Central Catholic Fight- ing Irish Cheering Block is al- most completely different this year. Complementing basket- ball pep this season are 226 sophomore, junior and senior lassies. Many ne w things have been added to the group this year including the sophomores, who in previous years have not been members in the club. The girls seem to be excited about their new outfits. The colorful union wears white blouses with purple collars and cuffs. A monitor system has been adopted in or- der to keep attendance records of the games. According to Judy Richards, captain, there will be strict enforcement made on the presence of the girls at the games. ' = Spanish Club At its January meeting, the Spanish Club will employ old Spanish customs to commem- orate Little Christmas. A brightly-colored p i n a t a will hang from the ceiling. Everybody will get a chance to puncture this animal-shaped container by hitting it with a long stick. The winner will re- ceive the big prize, while the other contestants claim the smaller ones. The members will play other Spanish games and sing Christ- mas carols in Spanish. = = Red C ross CC students will have an op- portunity to participate in a mass feeding program, spon- sored by the Red Cross of Fort Wayne. The five-week training program will prepare high school students for assisting the Red Cross in feeding victims in case of a local disaster. The program, which will be- gin in January, will consist of weekly two hour sessions. At the conclusion of the program, students will give a demonstra- tion. Another of the organization ' s new projects of the year is the preparation of gift packages for Cuban refugees. Representa- tives of high schools in the city will handle this project. ' =f Central Art CC art students, under the direction of Miss Blanche Hut- to, Central art director, have be- gun paintings on the theme America Today. Each stu- dent has chosen his own media, including oils, tempra, chocard paints, water color, ink, chalk, and others. Finishing touches are being put on the Christmas angels and ornaments which the classes made and decorated with paper, ribbons, yarn, and bits of tin- sel. Steve Kelker and Shirley Myers have experimented with silk-screening, a process in which paint is forced through the screen with a sponge. CC ' ers have also worked with paper mache, clay, tissue paper, charcoal, and weaving. = History Classes Students in Mr. Walsh ' s Unit- ed States and World History classes heard lectures given by guest speakers during Decem- ber. An alumnus of CCHS, Mr. James Hohenbrink, a Notre Dame student, chose as his top- ic, Medieval, Social, and Eco- nomic Institutions. Mr. Thomas Powers, a grad- uate of Harvard University, addressed the class on Medie- val Political Theory from 1790 to 1820. Medie val Literature of the American Revolution was the subject selected by Mr. Thomas Schefl ' er, a former CC student, who received his BA Degree from Indiana University. ' = Fighting 69th The renewal of the Fighting G9th pledge was led this month over the public address system by Darlene Bojrab, Fighting fi9th Captain. Pledge cards were distributed in the homerooms so that students could partici- pate. One of the projects of this organization is to post the Le- gion of Decency movie ratings in the school for the benefit of the students. = 5= Physics Class In a recent physics class of Sister Mary Magdalen, SP, Dick Miller demonstrated and ex- plained the relation of scuba diving to the class ' s study of fluid pressure. Equipped with air tanks, res- pirator, and depth gauge, Dick explained the importance of each object and its relation to pressure. According to Dick, the external pressure exerted on the body is controlled by the normal pressure of water mul- tiplied by each foot of descent. Thus a person swimming 90 feet under water would have almost 5200 pounds of pressure on every square foot of his body. The pressure gauge, he stated, is the only thing that keeps the sinus cavities and ear drums from bursting at such great depths. The pressure gauge automatically measures the external pressure, and by increasing the density of the air to be inhaled, keeps the internal pressure equal to that of the external pressure. Letter writing is the main project of the Citizens for De- cent Literature at CC. Notes of encouragement and congratu- lation, or occasional letters of criticism or contradiction are sent to newspaper editors and city officials throughout the country. This month ' s guest speakers were Mr. Ed Dahm, Mr. Mike Dahm, and Mr. Jerry Grimmer. They are organizers of the local group for Catholic Action, which has achieved nation-wide prom- inence. The CDL sent Christmas greetings to His Eminence Josef Cardinal Mindszenty in Budapest, Hungary, and to His Excellency, the Baron of Prague, Czechoslovakia. l_ English Classes With emphasis on the gi-eat authors. Sister Marietta ' s jun- ior English classes are develop- ing their literary tastes with class readings of the Scarlet Letter and Great Expectations. Recordings accompanying the works of Edgar Allen Poe will be discussed and studied in Mr. Ort ' s classes. Drama is on the agenda for the classes of Mr. Kaough and Mr. McClintock. Mr. Kaough ' s students will cover Julius Caesar and perhaps another play, while Mr. McClintock will utilize recordings to teach his classes about the drama. Sister Hortulana ' s English classes are studying the college prep SRA. Attention I Two books arc missing from the library, Fenner and Etiquette for Catholics.

By Tom Hneber With Christmas almost here, dances will be popping out all over. Many affairs will call for formal and semi-fomial wear. These dances give you ladies and gents a chance to put on your best. Diane and I would like to give you a few tips on dressy attire. Gentlemen, we know who wears the pants around here. We also know who has the eas- ier way of acquiring appropri- ate wear for semi-formal and formal occasions. In selecting formal attire, our most difficult decision is what color of bow tie to buy. Black bows are us- ually associated with the formal but this isn ' t necessarily the situation for high school dances. Plaids of almost all colors are quite popular. Your cummer- bund, of course, must match the tie. Because of its expense, many people rent their tuxedoes. They can be secured from almost all men ' s stores and clothing rental agencies at reasonable prices. Semi-formal wear is more reasonable. A dark suit and tie are most presentable on such occasions. • The Junior Dance is semi- formal. • White socks are for school and informal gatherings. • Hint: girls like flowers. Polished satin and silk or- ganza are by far the most im- pressive fabrics for formal wear. Most girls prefer a dress that is ballerina length, very full and plain, with some adorn- ment on the bodice. A nylon sash often adds a touch of the Southern belle to a frock. Many of the prettier dresses will be sparked with crystal sequins this year. ed There is always an array of colors; however, the darker shades prevail in this season. The older girls seem to pre- fer cocktail wear for formals. Sheaths of rayon brocade and .silk satins are the best liked. This year the dresses have a raised neckline and no collar; they tend to have the shift look. They usually have nothing to complement them but a jeweled pin. Gold, green, deep blue, and hot pink are stunning for th ' s style. Red velvet will also b3 seen quite a bit during the holiday season. With formals, short, three- quarter or long length gloves look best. They should always be the whitest white. Use your jewelry sparingly, girls. Your faces are so pretty, you don ' t need a Christmas tree look. Crystals and pearls are nicest for teens. Satin shoes can be dyed to match your dress. Linen shoes are coming up now, too, because they can be worn with your other clothes. If your dress is very simple, you might try a brocade shoe style — they always add a bit of glamour. Now to hairdos, which I ' m sure is a big problem for many girls. Really you don ' t need a high fashion French twist or a bun. I know you want to try something different. Why not a flip on one side and a forward curl on the other? Maybe an empire page boy will suit you. Girls who wear a bouffant, how about a full sweep style? One thing to remember when you plan your formal attire is your age. The Sir Galahad in your life wants to see you as the sweet, young, feminine lass that you really are. i , J ave - J appu . nd W J otu ( nridt mad From the SHAMROCK STAFF CC Takes Part In National Study of Catholic Education Central Catholic was recently explored from stem to stern as a part of the pilot study of Catholic education that is being conducted in Fort Wayne. Father Francis Xavier Harris, OFM, spent two days investi- gating the educational, extra- curricular, and guidance facil- ities at CC, as well as the phys- ical structure and operation of the building. Father visited classrooms, lunched with members of the lay faculty, conducted discus- sions with student leaders, and talked over plans of instnaction and methods of guidance with individual teachers and gfuid- ance officials. What is the mental-ability level of the students? and How is it computed? are just two of the brain-teasers that Father Han-is solved as a part of his work. Father explained that the study is a project designed to acquaint the American public at large, with the philosophy and principles of Catholic edu- cation. The study is financed by a $350,000 grant from the Carnegie Foundation, and is being conducted by Notre Dame University. Specifically Speaking Should Con- gress remain in session the entire year? Arguments on this question have been a p r o V o c ative c o n t r ibution to recent con- vention in the By Tom Palmer US. The lawmakers in Washing- ton, DC, have a very import- ant job: to create the measures which would enable man to live in peace with his fellowmen and to develop his capabilities to the fullest extent. If the lawmak- ers cannot do this without al- lowing adequate time for suf- ficient study of the measures, more time must be allotted. Accordingly, the early ad- journment of Congress for the sake of political campaigns back home lessens the consid- eration usually given to laws which affect everyone. We know that politics is the substance of life for most Con- gressmen, and that as repre- sentatives they should meet with their constituents to obtain their support and to ascertain their opinions. The past days of this rapidly- ending year have produced many good laws and are indicative of the dedication of our represen- tatives. But the jam-up occur- ing at the session ' s end should not be alleviated by a hasty vote on measures which could seriously affect the status of this country. Haste makes waste, and we cannot afl ' ord either. Filibusters could be replaced by objective discussions. Both House and Senate committees conduct similar inquiries into identical bills, after calling the same witnesses and hearing the same testimony. If this pro- cedure were eliminated. Con- gress should have ample time during regular sessions to com- plete all its work. If Congress could get its work done in a shorter period of time, the proposed year- round meeting would not be necessary. It will be interesting to ob- serve the tactics of the Eighty- eighth Congress as it endeavors to guide the United States to- wards the cherished goals of freedom and liberty, as well as the various inter-play of polit- ical forces. While we can easily be crit- ical of methods employed, ours is still the best society in the world, and one that should de- mand everyone ' s daily interest and effort at improvement. We still can say, Merry Christmas and an enterprising New Year. 66 December 21, 1962 SHAMROCK Coach Comments Irish Invitational by Tom Hueber Coach Bob Boyle ' s pride in his freshman basketball squad is easily understood. After trail- ing at halftime, the frosh quin- tet rallied to a 46-33 victory over Columbia City. Tom Schaab, Dan Phillips, and Terry Martin led the attack with the latter hitting seven points in nine seconds. Jim Junk, Mike Scudder, and Mark Sorde- let also played most of the game and all contributed points. These kids have the hustle and the talent to be a really good varsity team someday, predicts Coach Boyle. Coach Hal Finch heads the junior varsity team which now sports a fine 4-1 record. A well balanced offensive attack and alert defensive play make this team one of the best in the area. They topped Central ' s reserves in a prelim early this year. Coach Finch usually starts Stanski, Brink, Boedeker, Mur- ray, and Gutman. The second string is not a second class squad by any means. Kohne, BinnRosa, and Bartz are the sixth man. IMerriweather and Weidemeier are rapidly improv- ing and could be valuable assets to a future varsity squad. If you were in the gym dur- ing a reserve practice, you would probably notice Finch ' s Rack. This hatrack was con- structed to prevent . . . COLDS. Recent inclement weather has caused an outbreak of illness, so hats will aid this adverse situation. Report Steve Krull and Fred DuBois to Mr. Daniel if you see them without their caps . . . they will receive misdemeanors. The lights went out when Tom Walsh got the ball in the Ken- dallville game. The white shirts and blouses in the stands help show our school spirit. You can ' t realize how much fan support means to a team unless you have actually participated in athletics your- .self. The South Side football game is a good example of this. When the team came out on the fiold at the start of the second half all of us felt the student body was behind us. WE were behind but YOU didn ' t let us down. WE had to win — we wanted to win and you wanted us to win, too!

The first phase of the con- test will pit homerooms against each other. Later the home- room champions of each class will have a playoff.

GAA members will referee the games. magic circle to defeat Luers and gain undisputed possession of the City Series lead. hurst in the playoff game. The Irish came in third by knocking off Concordia for the second of three times during the season. Coach Youngpeter feels that the three invited teams will be tough, and have really good ball clubs. North is aggressive and has five good shooters. They play a tough schedule, which is a big help to them. Concordia now has a 5-1 rec- ord. They have a tall team and are quite good. Elmhurst hasn ' t done much yet, but we think they ' ll have a tough team by the time Christ- mas comes. CC Celebrates Five Decades Of Basketball by Don Parrot In the fall of the year 1912, two senior CC boys, John Reuss and Tom Hayes, had a money drive and collected §80. With this money they converted what was then Library Hall into a basketball court. These two boys formed and coached a bas- ketball team. They compiled a 5-3 record that year. This was the start of roundball enthusi- asm here five decades ago. Over a span of fifty years basketball has progressed from the haphazard way it was played in 1912 to the modem, scientific method governing its play to- day. Just how far will our basket- ball prestige climb this year? Coach Youngpeter commented, We expected to have a bette ' - shooting avei-age, but it is steadily improving. He added to the hope of success when he said that our bench strength is definitely impro- nng. Coach Youngpeter paid a compliment to the team by stating that CC, in 1962, will attain its stature, whatever it may be, as ONE team: not as ind dual mem- bers. 67 SHA VIROCfC December 21, 1962 O cJLlti eruri ¥ P Q O Christmastide By Paul Marciniak Christmas! The very word evokes a host of images in vivid flashes, like the pieces of colored glass in a kaleidoscope which form breath-takingly beautiful patterns. First there is the season with cold, brisk days, immaculately white, drifting snow, and nights of indigo blue skies pierced by the diamond brilliance of thousands of stars. Then, there are the gay, happy throngs that mill about merrily in the brightly dec- orated stores, selecting gifts for loved ones from an inexhaustible supply. The excited children tug impatiently at parents ' arms, wanting to go immediately to the fascinat- ing toy department, where the red-suited, cotton-white-bearded Santa sits waiting to listen to their incredible wishes. All over the city, in humble homes as well as pros- perous ones, the traditional Christmas tree stands in the living room, happily burdened by the weight of colored lights, silver tinsel and the brilliant baubles of blown glass. Penally, in the quiet, peaceful interior of churches, over by the side altar, stands the Christmas creche. Banked by fragrant evergreens, it draws the faithful like a magnet — young and old, sick and well — where, on a bed of straw lies the little Infant, who was born almost two thousand years ago, and whose birthday all Chris- tians celebrate on Christmas Day. That First Glorious Day By Judy Herrman hi a cold, dark stable. Upon a bed of hay, Was born a little Savior On the first Christmas day. Mary and Joseph adored Him And warmed Him all the night, From the heavens angels guarded. The stars gave Him their light. Three kings came to adore Him, From the Orient they were.

First of all I would like some more Red China. A more profitable Turkey would also be happily accepted. I would also love to have all of Castro ' s Havana cigars. And, of course, with all those new confer- ences coming up, I need a good strong shoe. You see, dear Santa, I don ' t ask for much just the whole world. Yours, Nikita Miriam By Monya Meyer As she slipped out the door, .she could still recall a few minutes before when her father, the inn-keeper, had beckoned the two weary travelers to the stable, as there was no room left in the inn. She was now on her way to the stable with the little white blanket from her own bed, which she intended to give to the beautiful lady who must surely be cold out in the stable. As she neared the stall it seemed no longer night, but light as day, and there in the manager lay a sweet little Infant Boy. Without a sound, she stepped over to the manger and covered the Babe with the blanket. The lovely lady watched and smiled. Just as quietly as she had come, Miriam, for that was her name, slipped out once again into the night. She was lost in her thoughts of the lovely lady, and the precious Infant. As she walked slowly back to the inn, little did Miriam know that she had rendered a service to the Jewish Mes- siah, the Savior of the world. Little did she know that thirty-three years later, by the side of the lovely lady, she would be among the weeping women who watched on the street corner of Jerusalem, as He passed bearing His cross to Calvary. Energetic Elfins By Mary McCrady Shh! Don ' t let tliem hear you. Pat and Jimmy are performing a very important and secret task, wrapping Christmas gifts all by themselves. These two little Christ- mas elfins tromp right over the generous scraps of crinkling, colored paper and bright bows as they reach for the scissors or tape. They make funny, pinched faces when they lick the gummy stickers. The fresh scent of pine drifts toward our hid- ing place as Jim tries frantically to tie a little bough and pine cone to the gift, yet in vain, for the sweet-smelling needles fly in all directions. When the job is done satisfactorily in their eyes, they quietly place the beauteous packages under their beds where they think no one will ever look for them. While turning to leave, they both take one last look at the horrible mess of multi-colored ribbons and papers, loose and in wads, literally strewn from the head of their beds to the back wall of their closet, and then they innocently march out. Isn ' t that just like little chil- dren ' Oh so sweet, but oh so sloppy! What Is A Carol? By Phil Federspiel A carol is the sound of Christmas and a joy to the young at heart. The wonderful harmony of voices, blending to create a magnificent sound, is as much the spirit of Christmas as the white-flecked tree with red lights and chrome bulbs or the plain wooden creche. The sounds of carols sym- bolize the minds and hearts of carolers as they, clothed in a rainbow of colors, move from house to house softly singing Silent Night and then with vigor, Joy to the World. Just imagine the glorious angels in a background of black velvet, hovering over the first Nativity scene. Yes, carols are truly the spirit of Christmas. 68 c W .StHUt.

Conroy Honored By CC Quill Scroll The young Catholic journal- ist of today will be the Catho- lic Leader of tomorrow, pre- dicted the Very Reverend Mon- signor James P. Conroy of Our Sunday Visitor when he spoke at the recent induction of 13 seniors of the SHAM- ROCK staff into the Quill and Scroll society.

Reverend Robert Hammond, CC principal, presented membership pins and award certificates to the in- ductees. Five candles, each one rep- resenting a quality of a good journalist, were lighted by Maryann Schlie. Jane Wester- man. Diane Fullam, Phyllis Bail, and Carole Rodgers. Father Hammond conferred honorary membership in CC ' s chapter of Quill and Scroll on Monsignor Conroy and present- ed him with a certificate of membership. Refreshments, prepared by a committee of juniors, were sened to the seniors, their parents, members of CC ' s fac- ulty, and the journalism class.

Judv. 69 SHAMROCK January 31, 1963 Weet Vjour f. d Say There — Bacon and eggs, salt and pepper, bread and butter. Catholic Press and you. Partners. Each one is good alone, but how much bet- ter it is with its mate. Take the Catholic Press and you. You do all right by yourself. So does the Catholic Press. But what an electrifying match ! Together they really go places. You enable the Catholic Press to do its best work, to break through to souls, to travel, to see, to feel, to watch, to learn — you are in its hands. The Catholic Press is your way to know God and your neighborhood. It strengthens your heart and mind. And now, more than ever before, young Catholics have a won- derful choice of magazines and books. Next week when the Our Sunday Visitor comes out, look in and see what your partner is doing. Don ' t let him down now. Cynthia Loraine Want to be in a contest? Most people enjoy being in any kind of competition. In fact, life is full of rivalry. At school, students will match their grades, clothes, cars, and friends against anyone else ' s. We take part in these contests without realizing what we are doing. Most of these tugs of war have no real meaning or value to us. It ' s rumored that a new kind of rivalry is being start- ed, one which will be of benefit to all who join. This con- test will be called Smile Awhile. There are few rules or regulations, no equipment or money involved in any way. Anyone can join anytime. The idea is to smile at all those whom you meet in the halls, in the room, or out- side the school. To enter, just start smiling and be a winner, too.

What was the date of your baptism? It ' s very probable you don ' t know. Most people don ' t. Yet it com- memorates a more important event than does the date of your birth. It ' s the moment when you began to share the life of God. Figuratively speaking, it ' s the day you got your space suit ; the day your scuba helmet was hosed to the life line. Sanctifying grace isn ' t a space suit you put on, nor is it a hose you connect, but it and it only equips you to live with God, acclimates you for a heavenly atmosphere. Even granted that your launch thrust got you to the very gates of heaven, without sanctifying grace you couldn ' t endure the atmosphere, any more than an astronaut could survive without oxygen in his space capsule. The date of your baptism marks the beginning of your life as a child of God ; after the beginning, the con- tinuance in this state depends on you. Your soul in the state of sanctifying grace is exceedingly precious and it should be your lifelong resolve to keep yourself, and help others to keep themselves, in that state. As Father Lord, the famous Sodahty leader once said, It is easy to stay VERY good; what is difficult is to stay kinda ' good. What a terrible thing it is for one to disconnect his lifeline; or worse, to disconnect the lifeline of someone else, without the assurance that the rejoining will ever be done. These are the days when you form your life ' s philosophy ; you will be what you are making yourself to be. Your parents made it possible for you to begin your life in grace ; it depends on you to keep it so. Sister Maureen Therese, SP. Irish Stew Mike Mowan, a senior in Mr. Bakle ' s 11:25 typing class, was told to keep his eyes on the copy, not the type- writer. During a timed writing one day, Mike obediently kept his eyes on the copy. The only mistake he made was forgetting to put paper in the typewriter. One junior, Sara Miller by name, was lighting the candles on the Advent wreath. Sara missed the fourth candle, and lit the wreath instead. When Sister Mary Aileen corrected the religion tests of her sophomore homeroom she learned a new Beatitude. Blessed are the Protestants for they shall become Catho- lics. As Sister Janet was rushing down the halls at top speed after the bell for classes had rung, she saw two boys leaning against the wall talking. As she passed them she inquired, Don ' t you fellows have anything else to do than major in loafing? As she looked back Father Carkenord said, Well yes.

Senors Senoritas Break Pinatas The ceremony of breaking two decorative pinatas climaxed the last meeting of the Spanish Club January 11. Art work on the two pinatas was executed by Laura Federspiel. Clem T r e V i n o provided authentic Mexican gi fts, which were placed inside. Various members volunteered their services for baking cookies and candies. Pinatas stem from an old Spanish Christmas custom of breaking animal-shaped contain- ers. A balloon or a large bowl is usually used as a base. A paper mache covering is mold- ed round the base into the shape desired. The final decorating is done with gaily colored paper. The club provided a pig for all deserving senoritas and a large bull for all brave matadors. Blind-folded and with stick in hand, the participants took in- dividual swings. First choice went to those with the heftiest swat. While Sister Mary Angele looks on, Ed Blotkamp and Tom Ocken get ready to swing at the j)i)iatas that Laura Federspiel, Barb Schlensker, and Jerry Lash hold during a recent meeting of the Spanish Club. 72 V ■ ' .

The Seven Last Words of Christ. 80 January 31, 1963 SHAMROCK By Diane FullBin Ladies, CC boys recently- voiced their views on feminine dress. I think you ' ll find a few surprises. Since kilts (short Scottish sports skirts) are in style, we asked how the boys liked them. Carl Jacquay said he thinks they are cute. They are all right if they are not too short, was the reply of John Mauch. Dave Pettit doesn ' t care for kilts because he doesn ' t like the knee highs which generally are worn with this fashion. Hairdos are much the topic of discussion with the menfolk. A page boy style is the choice of senior Dwight Craft. Mike Delaney prefers girls ' hair to be shoulder length, smooth, and cut evenly. Phil Wyss likes a flip- up best, while Tom Frantz said he agrees with any style but a French twist. A man ' s opinion of you will often be not what you wear, but how you wear it. Sophomore Alan Bennett says a boy always notices clean, neat white blouses. Ron Kroemer feels that a girl ' s neatness is most essential. Phil Byrd and Jim Robert.son like skirts and sweaters. Phil Charais said he prefers dressy attire such as is worn to church. Tom Gusching admires more casual clothes such as slacks and bulky knit sweaters. I think you ' ll find most boys think along the same lines as far as clothing preferences are concerned. The main thing to remember is to dial M for Mod- esty at all times. • • • Recently I had the privilege to propose this inquiry to the fair damsels of our school: Do you have any specific likes or dislikes concerning the general dress habits of the gentlemen with whom you are associated here at CC ? The first answer sturck a light in my outlook on social life. A girl replied Nothing special. I just like boys in general. This sort of discussion was getting me nowhere (on my question), so I hastily proceeded to the next candidate. The following are some of the replies I received. Judy Herrmann likes to see boys in suits, and added that she doesn ' t remember seeing any- By Tom Hueber 3 ! ad S tecifieaiiy Speaking By Tom Palmer e5 one at CC who looked unneces- sarily out of line in his dress. It was even suggested that the gentlemen wear some sort of uniform, maybe just on First Friday. Candy Cronkhite said she likes letter jackets. Joyce Wiegman picks sweaters that have patches on the elbows and tab-collared shirts as her favorites. Checkered trousers and print shirts just don ' t go together according to Karen Choka. although she added that she does like the checks when a solid colored shirt is worn. Lynn Van Lieshout gives long sleeved sweaters that button up down the front her vote. Becky Hueber (sounds familiar) likes white shirts at the basket- ball games (bless her heart). She doesn ' t think the boys should wear sweatshirts to school because of the informal- ity usually associated with such wear. Not since the explosive school segregation case of 1954 has a Supreme Court decision so rocked the nation and divided its people as the Court ' s ruling last June on prayers said in America ' s public schools. By a vote of six to one the Court found unconstitutional the use of this brief prayer written and recommended by the Board of Regents for use in New York State public Schools: Almighty God, we acknowl- edge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy bless- ings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our coun- try. Announcement of the Court ' s action brought cries of outrage and dismay from many Ameri- cans and left unanswered many questions dealing with the re- lationships of schools and the Church with the State. The basis for this dispute lies in the interpretation of the First Amendment, which says, Con- gress shall make no law respec- ting an establishment of relig- Teens Cain Know-How About Business From J A Do you have any inkling as to how a business operates ? Right now 65 CC students spend two hours every week solving the mysteries of the production, sales, and management depart- ments in a Junior Achievement company, sponsored by business in Fort Wayne. This year 550 Fort Wayne teenagers are gaining business experience in .30 Junior Achieve- ment companies. Each com- pany deals in a different aspect of business because of the dif- ference in products. This year a television and an advertising company have been added. Students taking advantage of thi.s program gain valuable busi- ness experience, are given career guidance from their advisers, and acquire self confidence. New friendships are always made since everyone has a chance to meet people from all over Fort Wayne and Allen County. Each Junior -Achievement company elects its own officers who plan various activities. Some of the opportunities for Junior .Achievement members are trips around the country, awards, and scholarships f or seniors. All the activities of the local organization are overseen by Mr. Ivan Doseff, head of the Fort Wayne Junior Achieve- ment. He comments, I feel that one of the prime purposes of Junior Achievement is to let each person dev elop himself and find the true meaning of business and the necessity of the American Free Enterprise system. For those students not plan- ning to attend college JA gives valuable experience. a last chance to make mistakes with- out having to take the blame. Junior Achievement has been called upon many times for references for teenage job hunters. Sometimes Junior Achievement acts as a reference in itself for it is recognized as business experience. Teamwork i s learned b y achievers and all find that hard work is necessary to get to the top and stay there. It ' s not all work though, ask any achiever, and he will tell you it ' s a lot of fun. ion, or prohibiting the free ex- ercise thereof ... The actual issue being contested, say some, is to what extent may public fa- cilities and the power of the State be used to promote a re- ligious activity. Dissenters of the decision declared that it ef- fected a Declaration of Inde- pendence from God. Right To Worship Anyone, regardless of his re- ligious beliefs or social and po- litical status, should be able to decide whether or not he wants to profess faith in a Supreme Being, without imposing his be- liefs upon others or being forced to c.ccept dissimilar convictions. Since the Constitution and Con- gress will not state a law respec- ting an establishment of relig- ion, they cannot prohibit the free exercise thereof ... by restraining the encouragement of religious performances. One distinguished lawyer ex- pressed that he would like to see the job of teaching religion back where it belongs: in the home and church. He wants to see the home work a little harder, and the church work a little harder ... Ap parently the author of these words is not aware of the acute shortage of dedicated highly-educated clergymen and of the fact that children spend the greater part of their day in schools away from family and church. Schools are the best means of supple- menting this essential teaching, and are best equipped to do so. To exempt the schools from their responsibility toward the relig- ious aspect of youth training would create in the minds of many young people the impres- sion that faith in God doesn ' t matter. Have Hope Let us hope that in sitting in judgment this year on the pend- ing First Amendment cases the Court recognizes this nation ' s dependence on a Supreme Be- ing — that it recognizes the principle involved in its open- ing prayer: God save the L ' nited States and this honorable Court. On- ly on this judgment can order return. 81 SHAMROCK January 31, 1963 Tfie Tablet TutH Opinions Come From Teachers Too What is it like to be on the other side of the deslv? Five teachers, who have spent a total of 46 years on the other side at CC, give you their opinions on students, fads, and changes within the school over the years. Sister Marie Angela ' s asso- ciation with CC has been long — eight years — and notable. Sister believes that too few students are really anxious to Sister Marie Angele get some place scholastically. They are motivated more by grades than the acquisition of knowledge. Since Sister has traveled rather extensively, she has quite a bit of authority with which to speak. Besides being superior at Immaculata Junior College and High School in Washington, DC, and teaching summer school at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Sister Marie Angele has taught English, French, and govern- ment here, and has no prefer- ences. I like to teach them all. Sister received her Masters Degree from Notre Dame. She thinks that older high school students today are still very much the adolescent, and that they need at least two more years to mature. Also Sister feels that the vo- cabulary of the seniors should be improved. Right now it is still at sixth or eight grade lev- el, she commented. Students need to acquire a love for read- ing and an accuracy in spelling, writing, and expression, she stated. Since earlier years at CC, Sister commented on the im- provement in cleanliness and order in the building. Sister Mary Angele is now in her thirteenth year at CC. She has been here longer than any other sister now teaching in the school. 82 Sister has taught a host of subjects including foreign lan- guages, history, religion, social sciences, and occupational courses. When asked which subject she preferred teaching. Sister Maiy Angele replied that she has no favorites, but she did admit that biology is fascin- ating. Sister has also taught in Chi- cago, Evansville, and Wash- ington, DC. In reply to a ques- tion concerning a comparison of the students. Sister said, Comparisons are odious. The personal achievements of any student body depend upon the viewpoints of the pupils. Sister received her Masters Degree at Loyola University and has also studied at Saint Mary ' s College in Minnesota and at Texas Women ' s University, to Providence High in Chicago. Both of these are all -girl schools. CC is the only co-ed school at which Sister Marie Hildegarde has taught. Besides receiving her Mas- ters Degree in math at DePaul, Sister has studied at Notre Dame and Indiana Universities for one and two summers respec- tively. Then, seven years ago, Sister returned to bolster our math program. Since Sister teaches five math courses a day, she naturally lists math as her favorite sub- ject, although she also teaches religion, and has taught Eng- lish. Sister Marie Hildegarde be- lieves that since she has come back to CC the students want to be and do better. The school itself sc.nis to have a better Sister Mary Angele where she took courses in the Berlitz method, a specialized method for the teaching of for- eign languages. In reference to the students, Sister Mary Angele remarked that most have always been faithful . . . there are some fine minds at CC who are applying themselves well in school, while there are others who may not be as bri ght but who are very generous in the time they spend studying, trying to do their best. Sister Marie Hildegarde, Masters Degree graduate of DePaul University in Chicago, is now in her eleventh year at CC. Sister taught for four years at CC and then was transferred to Immaculata Junior College in Washington, DC, and then Sister Marie Hildegarde scholastic tone. Because the students for the most part have been very nice, I ' ve always con- sidered my association with CC a pleasant one, concluded Sis- ter. This is Sister Mary Timothy ' s ninth year at CC. Sister says that in recent years she has noticed a big improvement in study habits. The boys and girls are grasping how to study more than before. The over-all tone is a scholastic one. Sister Mary Timothy is a graduate of Saint Mary-of-the- Woods, and besides studying at Boston College, she received her Masters Degree at Indiana State College. Sister has taught English, history, and math, and, as any- one who knows her might sus- pect, her favorite is math. She has also taught at Provi- dence High School, Chicago. When questioned about fads. Sister could only hit directly on two spots. The girls short skirts still bother me; and I think the boys look much better with the shorter hairdos they are wear- ing now. Sister Mary Timothy Though the students are very friendly, they are, at the same time, thoughtless. I believe they study more now than in the past, due to corrected study habits as they grow older, said Sister Mary Timothy. After an absence of seven years, Sister Ii-ma Agnes re- turned to CC three years ago from Saint John ' s High School, Loogootee, Ind. Sister Irma Agnes has noticed in recent times that The scho- lastic aspects of the school are steadily on the improvement, but the students often take the teachers for granted. After trying, Sister found it was impossible to compare Saint John ' s and CC, since Saint John ' s total enrollment is not quite equal to the enrollment of the senior class at CC. Concentrating again on our students. Sister said that The grades of students at CC have generally remained the same except for brilliant individuals, of which CC seems to have more now. Sister Irma Agnes ' final com- ment was, CC students have many likeable qualities. I like the students at CC. January 31, 1963 SHAMROCK Irish Face City Foes This weekend will find the Irish engaged in two City Series battles. Friday the Irish will host Elmhurst. In the tourna- ment CC beat the Trojans 76-67. Saturday CC will play Bishop Luers. At the last encounter, CC handed the Knights an 87-65 loss. CC took its seventh loss in 15 games at South Bend Riley Jan. 26. Towards the end of the first quarter the Wildcats took the lead which they never relin- quished throughout the game. Tony Zych led the Irish of- fense with 18 markers, followed by Steve Krull with 17 and Carl Jacquay with 15. Jan. 25 CC gave Columbia City its third loss in 15 starts. Constantly and a 14-point spurt in the third stanza canned the win for the Purple. During the first quarter the fighting Irish outclassed the Eagles 18-15. At the halfway mark the Irish were leading 34-32. A crowd of 2400 witnessed the CC-North Side battle Jan. 18. CC led in the first stanza by seven points. At half-time the Redskins had a one-bucket ma- jority. With 25 seconds remaining in the contest, the score was 76 all. In the last four seconds Steve Krull drove to the basket for the last Irish hope. A foul was called against North as the buzzer rang. In the confusion that followed, the oflicials ruled that an overtime was necessary. In the additional three minutes the Purple lost by an 83-79 mar- gin. -J. it tie iletmen improve — 6 J eaion f roqreiiei After some initial losses the frosh basketball team has g ' ained momentum, and as the end of the season approaches, they have an even record of five wins and five losses. The team has shown improve- ment in the last few games and Coach Boyle says that the team ' s future looks good. He stated that the boys have po- tential and should provide a lot of material for Irish teams in the coming years. The frosh starting eight are Tom Schaab, Jim Junk. Mike .Scudder, Tom Delagrange, Bob Baker, Dave Sarrazin, Tom Witte, and Mark Sordelet. Steve Krull. Tony Zych. and Fred DuBois (white jerseys) set up a defense through which Carl Jacquay, Steve Bird, and Mike Flood are trying to penetrate. Reserve Basketball Finck ' s Five Set For Vair Congo, Bossa Nova, or basket- ball practice? One wonders as Carl Jacquay, Tony Zych, Fred DuBois, and Steve Byrd look skyward. Balanced scoring, good de- fensive work, and consistent rebounding seem to be the key to Coach Hal Finch ' s reserve team ' s success. As the roundball season ap- proaches February, CC ' s jun- ior varsity has posted eight wins against four losses, the best basketball record in the school. The most recent -ictory was a 62-43 shellacking of South Bend Riley. Earlier in the season the reser ' es victimized Bishop Luers, South Side, and Concordia, capping a seven- game winning streak. Coach Finch ' s starters all season long have been Carl Brink, and Ron Stanski at for- ward, Whitey Boedeker and Al Gutman at g uard, and Dee Murray at center. They will probably start again tomorrow night when the reser -e team takes on Elmliurst in Luers gym at 6:30 p.m. Kohne. the sixth ma n . Merriweather, Wiedemeier. and Bartz are also expected to see action in that game. by Ken Aoer . s Hoosier Hysteria moves into the three-quarter mark of the season, our own Irish still have a fighting chance to re- capture last year ' s City Series championship. At this time we would like to point out how our team has fared against tough opposition. Average first-half scoring shows the opponents edging us out with an average of 30.3 points to our 30 points. During the second half we lead with a 37.8 average to their 35.6. In all the games thus far the Irish have a total of 784 points to the opponents ' 755 points. Leading in the scoring de- partment is Steve Krull with 270 points in 16 games for al- most a 17 point average. Run- ning second and third are Dwight Craft and Tony Zych with 203 and 179 points, re- spectively. Other high scorers are Carl Jacquay, 156; Fred DuBois, 68; and Mike Flood, 53 points. Junior members of the var- sity squad have shown much promise in their ability. They are Steve Byrd, Joe Schaefer, Frank Yeranko. John Sullivan, Don Bobay, and Tom Steele. Congratulations to Steve Krull for being voted Player of the Week by the News- Sentinel in their Hardwood Honors column. Steve was cited for his tremendous re- bounding, passing, and scoring.

By Judy Dodane It was a carnation in full bloom. A per- petual blush, beginning at its innermost parts and spreading from a deep to a faint pink, lay on its exquisite features. The frothy petals of intricate ruffles were tilted upward. Dewy crystalites of water forming a network across its features completed the pattern. Winter Wonderland By Edward Hultgren This day was born as every day is bom, its life would be no different from that of any other, and no earth-shaking events would take place. There were three shop- ping days until Christmas, so downtown was cluttered with crowds of bustling shoppers scurrying about. The first soft flakes floated down in gentle swirls, caught on branches barren of leaves, or on hibernating grass blades, or on pave- ment or rooftops. They struggled for sur- vival against the warmth of their resting place, were exhausted from the effort, and became droplets of pure water. But as wave upon wave of whiteness filled the crisp air and dwelt on the earth, the tide of the battle reversed itself and an inch of snow quickly covered the town. All through the morning and afternoon the deluge continued, bringing with it but- toned overcoats, scarves, woolen gloves, and caps whose muffs had been pulled down over formerly frozen ears. Youngsters cavorted in the pillowy stuff, tossing snowballs and building forts or snowmen. Men and boys dug out shovels and vigorously attacked the snow-covered sidewalks. Cars crawled through the streets at a snail ' s pace, tracing their tires ' treads as they went along, while children ' s sleds scarred the faces of hills and slopes with their imprint. The world was joyous and pure, as pure as the white- ness of the snow; and full of cheer. It snowed as if it were never going to cease, but as the light of day faded away, the nippy air was again clear. The next morning a white panorama still lay spread out in front of anyone who want- ed to enjoy God ' s picture. But as midday drew near, the snow in the streets became salty slush, the snow on the sidewalks and yards was full of footprints, and the whole thing looked messy. Of such nature is man ' s reacton to God ' s Creation. By Tom Walsh It isn ' t often that we Hoosiers are afford- ed the excitement and pleasure of witness- ing a contest so strikingly similar to one of ancient and biblical reference. A short two months ago, however. Birch Bayh, the youth- ful Speaker of the State House, picked up his political sling and walked onto the bat- tlefield. His stone of nebulous species and import produced much the same effect as did the sling, stone, and willingness of another young man thousands of years past — a glorious upset. Perhaps the Republicans of Indiana, like the Philistines of early times, wondered how the presumed victors, their Goliath, could be so easily and quickly van- quished. Senator Homer Capehart certainly was- n ' t without his own personal and political advantages. His recent stand on the Cuban situation, the inveterate domain he pro- claimed over the past sixteen years in Con- gress were all indicative of success in the senatorial election last November. Yet his obvious complacency supplemented by Bayh ' s vigorous and comprehensive cam- paign proved to be the deciding factor that spelled defeat for the senior senator. No matter whether victory is attributed pre- cisely to smugness on one part or alert ef- ficiency on the other, history has repeated itself; and we have viewed it with mixed sentiments of surprise and delight. Tke Wonder Of His Love By Bill Kallmyer His spacious firmament — the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars — His universe. The whole world reflects the beauty of our God. The azure sky by day, the silver stars by night; the green fields in spring, the sparkling blue waters of a lake — all re- flect a hand of an artist who painted them with the wing of an angel. The unmatched sculpture of a rose, the straight and stalwart trunk of an oak tree, the steep and rocky cliffs of a mountainside, all reflect a hand that with only a snap of the fingers could resolve them into nothing- ness. The symphony of a down a mountainside against the rocks below composed the melodies songs of the wind. When we look at His Oh it ' s great to live in We praise the profound of our God. waterfall crashing and reverberating reflects an ear that of the birds and world and exclaim, this grand world, and infinite beauty A Prayer To Our Lady By Patricia Linsky lovely lady, high above, Forgive me for the wrong I ' ve done. 1 never meant to do you harm. I ' d give an eye, an ear, an arm. To keep you loving me. lovely Lady, high above. Look doivn on me — on earth, the least; Yovr sweetness and beauty give delight To sinners in their earthly plight. I ' d forfeit every pleasure, right. To keep you loving me. You pray for its all night, all day. While we on earth, have fun and play. We never stop to realize. The depth of love within your eyes. 1 cannot wait for Paradise, To keep you loving me. Barren Beauty By Virginia Miller A tree in the winter time is a lonely pic- ture of barren beauty. Bursting with green- ness a few months earlier, it now stands silent, stripped of its external glories. Its leafless branches shiver under the cold blanket of air and extend until they become like icy fingers clawing the sky. Enveloped in a thin sheath of ice, it appears as a frozen monument, scultpured by the bitter winds that scream through its branches. Its limbs seem to be groping the air for some sort of support as they are jostled around in the furious winds. With each movement it makes one can hear the faint tinkling of the ice on its branches. Alone and barren it stands. 84 SHAMROCK %a i of Central Catholic High School, Fort Wayne, Indiana Vol. XXV February 27, 1 963 No. 7 5 Journalists Enter Essays In City AdvertLsing Contest The Role of Advertising in a Growing America is the theme of the Fort Wayne Ad Club Editorial Contest for 1963.

With the help of the proper tools — prayer, the Sacred Words of Scripture, spiritual reading, fasting, the Sacraments, self-denial — we break through this cover and descend into the interior of our souls. We find weeds and flowers, vices and virtues. With our Lenten tools we dig in and begin cultivating the soil. This plowing is necessary for two reasons : so that we can pull out the vices by their roots and so the virtues can get moisture and oxygen to develop and flourish. Both of these aspects of Lent are crucial. To culti- vate the virtues without pulling out the vices is spiritual suicide, and vice-versa. Don ' t confuse the Lenten tools with Lent itself: and don ' t overemphasize the one aspect of Lent to the exclusion of the other. May God bless you and help you during this Holy Lenten season. Father Isenbarger, Guidance Diriector Beware The Ides Of March History reveals that many a catastrophe has come to those who have failed to heed the soothesayer ' s warn- ing to beware the Ides of March. This year third quarter exam week coincides with the Ides of March. Perhaps conscientious study from now until then will diminish the prospects of an ill-fated report card. Perhaps a little less time before the TV set? A little less chattering on the telephone? Not by the power of the quill alone can one learn. For most people, study and hard work are necessary for good grades. With these and a little bit of luck, may you be able to say, Great Caesar ' s ghost, I passed my exams with flying colors!

Three former CO students, who have already selected their state in life, herein express their views on their respective choices. L n KeliaiouA iiternood Marilyn Yeranko ' 62, is a postulant in the novitiate of the Sisters of Providence. She declares, I don ' t think anyone could ever tempt me to leave this place. She feels that anyone who enters the convent should set a goal for herself, and keep herself mindful of that goal in every thing she does. Anyone who does not have a calling for this life can not be really happy in it, Marilyn beheves. Therefore, the choosing of the right vocation means the happiness of one ' s future life. Marilyn has recently received the name Sister Carla. L n eminaru oLlfe Jesse Alvarez, who was a member of the present senior class, writes from Our Lady of the Lake Semin- ary that his life there is, in many respects, similar to that of any high school student. Each day has its classes, sports, and friends. He says. Although I have been here only a few months and I have not the ability to picture accurately the full meaning of seminary life, I want to say that spir- ituality permeates every aspect of it. Every morning we begin the day with Mass and Holy Communion and a period of meditation. We have daily examination of conscience and the rosary. A new experience for me is that of having a spir- itual director. His purpose is to guide the seminarian in his spiritual life and to correct any problems that he might have. This has helped me immensely. There are difficulties involved and sometimes things seem exceedingly hard. But luckily, I want to be a priest very much. There are so many people supporting me with their prayers, I only hope I will not let them down. yJn ZJne rf arriag e l ocation A graduate who has chosen the married life says, Marriage, as you know, is the union of two people in love. Love is the giving of one ' s self for the happiness of your partner. Of course, it can ' t all be a one sided affair. It has to be mutual. True love grows and grows with each year of mar- ried life. One wonders if he ever knew what love was before he got married. There is no end to lov e. One of the most important things is to marry a Catholic. Things come along through the years that must be very difficult to face when there are two differ- ent faiths involved. Let me assure you, marriage is not all a bed of roses. There are real burdens and sacrifices to be made, but with the right partner and trust in God, all things work into greater love. There are times as in any vocation, it takes much trust, patience, and faith to endure what is required of us to make good husbands and good wives. 86 February 27, 1 963 SHAMROCK SpeaYiea fy Speaking Pat Franchi, Mike Lauer, and Linda Vickers Frosh Trio Birthday C How would you like .u wait 1,461 days for a birthday cake ? Three patient CC freshmen, Pat Franchi, 202; Mike Lauer, 201; and Linda Vickers, 200, have 1,095 days down and 366 to go. After her second birthday, Pat Franchi was playing chess and was active as an Intermediate Girl Scout. She was confirmed that year, along with her sixth- grade classmates. Three-year old Pat was vice-president of her graduating class at St. Charles School. Varsity Chorus, algebra, and Latin occupy her time as an honor student fresh- man here at CC. Mike Lniier achieved his Jun- ior Life Saving award when on- ly three; one of the require- ments was to rescue a 160-lb. man. While he was still three, Mike was a right guard on St. Patrick ' s football team, was voted the most courteous eighth- grade boy, and played the violin. Presently he is an apprentice of the electric guitar and enjoys ice skating and hockey. Although only three, Linda Vickers was a member of her grade school volley ball team. Linda now babysits for eight children, ranging in age from four to thirteen, all having had more birthdays than she. Her main hobby is working with cer- amics.

If the present t e n d e ncy is not checked in By Tom Palmer some way, the shining eyes of America will soon be lost un- der the mascara of indifference and ignorance. The result of much-repeated attempts by well-informed per- sons to convert to a more re- sponsible reaction the passive one of too many Americans in situations and movements af- fecting their well-being and success has led to a richer ap- preciation of the American her- itage. As Catholics we have had the blessed opportunity to be born into the Church. We also are citizens of the United States and responsible for its mainten- ance. The refusal on our part to perform our duties toward God and our country has result- ed in the conditions prevalent today in the nation, in Fort Wayne, and in our school. Students are too satisfied to resign their sei-vices toward their education and to let other persons do all the work. Stu- dents sleeping or sitting inat- tentively in class are evidence enough of their apathy. In- sufl cient participation in cur- ricular and extra-curricular ac- tivities is all too apparent. So long have Americans ex- perienced freedom that their appreciation of it has become abused with age. Catholics have so long lived with the assurance of a way to heaven that hope has changed into the smugness that they will make it. regard- less. Consequently, the take-it- for-granted attitude has infil- trated not only into classrooms, but also into homes and offices across the country. Only recently has widespread interest been shown in the clawhold of Communism in America. Only now has man seemed to realize that, if he wants something to work, he has to make it work. The pres- ent passiveness in classrooms is no reflection of this changing trend yet; but I hope that when the influence does take effect, it won ' t be too late. This rapidly changing world compels us to run to keep abreast with it. If we do our best, as a Christian dependent upon God, as a citizen loyal to America, and as a person re- sponsible to all people, we can be assured of a favorable out- come because we shall have the help of God.

Cfd ■ SSC Discussion Was the Catholic Youth Dis- c u s s i o n Day worthwhile ? Should such a day be estab- lished as an annual event? These and other questions on the evaluation sheet distributed at the last g-eneral session of the Feb. 3 Discussion Day have received a unanimous affirmative answer. Of the 13.3 papers returned, the majority agreed that stu- dents from other schools as well as from CC should help with the planning and preparations. It was also the consensus that all participating schools should furnish student leaders and re- corders for the group discus- sions. CSMC The Catholic Student ' s Mis- sion Crusade has outlined its strategy for Lent. CC ' ers will be asked to contribute generous- ly to CSMC ' s Lenten collection. The amount received will be distributed between two organ- izations, the Society for the Propagation of the Faith and the Bishop ' s Relief Fund. - English Classes To celebrate Valentine ' s Day, Sister Mary Loretta ' s senior English classes made original valentines to acquaint students with the world ' s great love poetry. Among the love poets repre- sented were Catullus, Shake- .speare, Ben Johnson, Words- worth, Byron, Keats, Dante, Rossetti, A. E. Honseman, Eliza- beth and Robert Browning, Robert Burns, Leigh Hunt, Va- chel Lindsay, and many others. Fifty-two students contrib- uted individual valentines. A vast heart covering the entire rear wall of Room 302 was the joint production of Ed Hultgren, Chuck Schrimper, and Jerry Sitko. Bob Gable ' s valentine was over five feet high. Sister Maiy Fabian ' s fresh- man English classes have been writing letter sequences, stories written in letter form. A feel- ing of pride and accomplishment resulted from this assignment, according to comments of both teacher and students. Day Evaluation - Since some of the schools which sent representatives to the First Discussion Day do not have the physical facilities to act as host, there is doubt as to the adNisability of setting up a system of rotation just at pre- sent, according to the reports. With these ideas in mind, the Student Spiritual Council is al- ready at work on long range plans for a Second Catliolic Youth Discussion Day for next vear. ■4 Sons of Mary Junior boys have been invited to attend a meeting of the Sons of Mary to be held March 18 11:1.5 a.m. in Room 400. The purpose of this meeting v ill be to acquaint those interested with the constitution of the organiza- tion. • Discussion Club The Sophomore Classics Dis- cussion Club has been organ- ized by the sophomore English teachers. The formation of this club is to prepare the members for college and to strengthen their knowledge in literature. The club will meet monthly to discuss a currently assigned novel. The first meeting was Feb. 24. The members are: Paul Mar- ciiiiak, Anthony Bruggeman, Peter Iverson, Helen Romano, Don Schroeder, Karen Obringer. Richard Frederick, Jack Yonk- man, Steve Miller. Bob Kinney. Pete Schmift, Mary Schirmeycr, Jane Vukmanovich, Rita Schmieman, Monica Reitzug, Nancee Browning. ■4 Shorthand Sister Mary Magdala ' s Short- hand 11 class is using the Dy- namic Shorthand Skill Building course, which has linked the de- velopment of shorthand skills to three social papal encyclicals: Communism, Social Justice, and Christian Marriage. This course was developed because of the necessity of students to be armed with Christian social principles as they assume fu- ture responsibilities in the busi- ness world. GAA The semi-annual Girls ' Ath- letic Association Award Party, Feb. 21, had an attendance of 277 girls. Members receiving their school letters were Ruth Kraus- kopf, Janet Peden, and Terry Schuhler.

Mr. Sargent spoke to the members on the New Look at Matter. .y fter ierioui coniiJeration, the students of Mr. Mc- Clintock ' s lOnglish II class decided to repudiate the decisions of the officials connected with the trial of Silas Mamer. An old method of determining guilt was generally carried out by having people draw slips of paper or other small objects, one of which was marked. The person who drew the marked object was con- sidered guilty. The re-enactment was done in modern court meth- ods. Because of the lack of evidence, Silas Marner was acquitted. Pondering the fate of Silas Marner are Linda .Snyder. Mary Wolf, Paul Schoenle. Larry Sablic. Greg Poinin. Composing the jury are Sylvia Allen, Joyce Bo|)e, Annette Butler. Kay Creigh, Jim Herber, Ida Imbody, Mary Janice Orr. Mike Pettigrew, Dan Recht, Bernard Tackett. Don Wagoner, and Phil Zuber. 88 Aiding, instructing, and encouraging tiie juniors as tliey advance to the rank of up- perclassmen are, seated: Sister Mary Austin, Sister Janet, Sister Francis Borgia, Sister Francis Elise; standing: Sister Alice, Sister Mary Christine, Mr. Robert Ort, Sister Mary Christyn, and Sister Mary Angele. u n o Leading junior class activites are the of- ficers — Bill Hoot, president; Patti Kintz, secretary; Julie Motherwell, treasurer; and John Mauch, vice president. The site of this pictui-e was selected — entrance to the Blessed Sacrament Chapel — because the juniors were the chief promoters of A class-a-day attendance at the 7:30 Mass.

The work ranges from the essentials of algebra to the college subjects, calculus and analytical geom- etry. In order to incorporate some concepts of modern algebra with traditional algebra, Sisters Marietta, and Loretta Mary make use of filmstrips and a pamphlet, Concepts of Equa- tion and Inequality. Sister Marie Hildegarde plans to have her freshman class finish their first-year studies and start on some principles of advanced al- gebra with a series of textbooks from the Students Mathematics Study Group. A set of booklets entitled Exploring Math on Your Own is used by Sister Marietta ' s al- gebra class and by Sister Mary Timothy ' s geometry honors class for additional information on various phases of math. Fifth Year Math In the fifth-year class, am- bitious seniors learn calculus and analytical geometry. Col- lege-bound students may take an advanced placement test later in the year. If the results are high enough, the student may be allowed to omit the freshman mathematics course in college, according to Sister Marie Hil- degai-de. Other CC math teachers are: Sister Jean Patrice, algebra; Sister Mary Magdalen, advanced algebra; Miss Marie Toledo, ge- ometry; and Mr. Lawrence Moulin, algebra. A science major can be read- ily gained by CC students. Three lab sciences, biology, chemistry, and physics are offered along with physical science, a non-lab course. Biology Biology, studied by all sopho- mores, is taught to 14 classes daily by Sisters Augustine and Mai-y Aileen and Mr. Finch This subject, according to vari- ous sophomores, will be useful in any career. Agnes Klein- richert and Sylvia Allen concur Kathy Butler and Rochelle Bruno ers of a microscope as it brings God ' s creation. that biology will enable them to teach their children about na- ture in the future. Scientific- minded Janice Palmer plans to use this subject in her future in medicine. Other student opin- ions are biology rids us of many superstitions and helps us understand and respect things we have taken for granted. Biology students are engaged in many projects, for example students in Sister Augustine ' s classes have adopted trees in order to study their seasonal changes. Mr. Finch ' s pupils are writing scientific reports which will teach them not only how to do scientific research but how to write a term paper. Physical Sciences Chemistry offers the student a good background necessai-y for keeping up with the atomic age. This subject, studied by 130 students during four per- iods daily, is taught by Sister Janet and Miss Toledo. Students feel that chemistry gives them a greater kn owledge of future possibilities, because of the many careers which are i elated to it. Others who do not plan to pursue a scientific career feel that chemistry will give them a greater realization of the greatness of God. Physics, taught by Sister Mary Magdalen is offered dur- ing two periods each day. This science offers one a chance to understand the physical proper- wonder at the magnifying pow- to life the minute particles of ties and reactions of matter. Students Darlene Bojrab and Susan Roembke feel every girl should take this course because it offers an invaluable knowl- edge, both for home and career. All of these sciences offer a good basis for any future plans whether in business, science, or the home. ff igr. lAJeitenclorf . Jjied; L L J eeps -J-rii It lemoru Monsignor Frederick Westen- dorf is dead, but he will always be remembered for the many activities he sponsored as spir- itual director at CC. They best express the imprint of his per- sonality. Perhaps having been an army chaplain gave Father his inspir- ation to pioneer the playing of reveille every morning during the flag raising ceremony. Father didn ' t let anyone forget he was a citizen of the United States. He never let his students neg- lect opportunities for develop- ing leadership. It was Father Westendorf who established the first student council at CC. A convert to Catholicism him- self, he always strove to inspire in others a deep appreciation for the Faith. Although none of the present CC students knew Monsignor directly, his memoi-y lives on and they feel privileged to be associated with the school to which he had devoted so many arduous years. Sister Mary Austin Dedicates 13 Years To Central Catliolic This month we salute Sister Mary Austin, SSND, who has been a member of Central Cath- olic ' s faculty since 1950. Sister Mary Austin teaches junior religion, second-y ear Latin, and a Virgil class. Sister has always taught Latin and considers it to be a most impor- tant subject because it is the basis for most modern lan- guages. Sister takes pride and pleas- ure in traveling to Bloomington with her l atin scholars for the annual state tests. During her thirteen years here at CC stu- dents have won medals in Latin each year. Sister entered the convent with the School Sisters of Notre Dame at their Mequon, Wis. motherhouse. Notre Dame of the Lake. She received her Bachelor and Masters Degrees from Mai-quette University, Mil- waukee. Before coming to Centi-al Catholic. Sister Maiy Austin . -SAB GAUL J Sister Mary Aust in SSND taught at Messmer High School in Milwaukee, Saint Anthony ' s in Detroit, and Huntington Catholic. Students have been easier to work with these last few years, Sister commented, Par- tially on account of the cheer- ful surroundings on the fourth floor. I ' ve always liked being at CC, Sister Mary Austin con- cluded. I like the students and the other teachers. 97 SHAMROCK February 27, 1963 In CC ' s Secfional Opener Fighting Irisli Face Trojans Elmhurst, twice the victim of our mig-hty Irish in the past two months, will be the first foe of CC in the Sectional Tour- ney. Central Catholic along with Concordia appeared to get the break as far as the brackets go, having drawn into the county bracket. Central, New Haven, and South, however, are going to have a bit more trouble as almost every one of them w-ill have to have four hot games if any are going to come out on top. Bishop Luers and North, despite drawing the first round bye, appear also to be going to have a rough time as the winner of their game will have to meet South, Central, or New Haven. Elmhurst is not to be regard- ed as a pushover, as many might think or as past efforts Mike Flood Monroeville Tom Steele Fort Wayne Central New Haven Don Bobay Fort Wayne South Side Areola John Sulivan Concordia Leo Frank Yeranko Woodlan Central Catholic Steve Bird Elmhurst T i ' ■ ' ' ' ' MC % Hur Harlan Joe Schaefer Huntertown have shown. Their coach has stated that any time they hit more than 30 per cent of their shots, beware! They appear to be gaining strength fast now towards the end of the season. As some of you remember, it was Elmhurst who was the sur- prise team of last year ' s tour- ney, giving even Central a -scare in the final game. Should the Irish get past Elmhurst their next probable foe would be Huntertown who would be as upset hungry this year as they were three years ago. That was in ' 60 when they shamed the mighty Irish with a one point victory when CC was supposed to be a state power and go pretty far in the Tourney. Looking even farther into the future, supposing that both the Irishmen and Cadets reach the Bishop Luers North Side Dwight Craft Fred Dubois Steve Krull Tony Zych third game, it is generally ac- cepted that we will not have quite the easy time we had with them in January. Both clubs will be out for Blood as they try to capture their first sec- tional championship. Concordia has come a long way, recently lieating both Central and North, North by fifteen points. Finally, barring upsets, if the Irish reach the final game they will have their hands full with Central (or possibly North Side). Central w-ould be ex- ceptionally tough as they are always a ranked state power. Four of the Fort Wayne teams in this sectional have been placed on the Associated Press final ratings. Central heads the list with fifteenth po- sition in the state followed by North, CC, and Concordia. ' 63 Sectional Vaifings Coach Leon Youngpeter potlia It tin r 9 by Henry Reitzujr porid r Get your hats, tickets, and souvenir pins, it ' s time for Hoosier Hysteria again! Tonight, in the first of 1.3 Fort Wayne Sectional games. Central and Monroeville will kick oflf this annual madness. CC will not enter into the ac- tion until 7:15 tomorrow night when they take on the upset- hungry Elmhurst Trojans. While CC ' s early opponents in the Sectionals are no great shakes, Concordia and Central or North could pose plenty of opposition. However, this does- n ' t faze Coach Leon Young- peter and his charges. Going into the Sectionals, CC is the only one of the 14 schools entered which has four of its starters averaging ten or more points per game. This might be one reason why CC has scored 70 or more points on ten different occasions and more than eighty on three of them. Leading this very potent of- fense is Steve Krull with 364 points averaging out at 18.2 points a game. He broke CC ' s single game scoring record with his tremendous 37 point performance against Wabash. CC ' s Chinese Bandits, Dwight Craft and Tony Zych, have 248 and 238 points respectively. Carl Jacquay, with 203 points, has also helped notably. The fifth starting spot has been shared by senior Fred Du- bois, 99 points, who was ham- pered part of the season by an injured toe, and by junior Mike Flood, who wound up with 96 points, 18 of them coming against Central. Steve Bird, scoring 36 points, and Joe Schaefer, 17 points, also started on occasions. John Sullivan, 6 points, Frank Yeranko, 5 points, Don Bobay, 3 points, and Tom Steele, 3 points, have shown promise for the future when called upon this year. As soon as the weather per- mits, track, golf, and tennis will start at CC. The reserve team ' s 10-7 bas- ketball record was the best one posted in the school. The var- sity was 11-9, while the fresh- men were 8-7. I 98 February 27, 1 963 SHAMROCK Mr. Bartkiewicz To Remain Here In Same Capacity After resigning his position as head coach of CC earlier in the year, Coach Walter Bart- kiewicz has changed his mind and will be back next year to continue his present duties. Coach Bartkiewicz has this to say about it: There were a few problems which had to be solved concern- ing facilities and policies in connection with athletics. With the help of Father Hammond we are well on the way to solv- ing these problems. It didn ' t take too long to think about staying at CC because I feel I ' ve found a home here. Father Hammond stated that one of the problems solved was that of transporting football players to the Villa for practice. This is designed to cut down on the late hours of practice. Besides coaching football and track, Mr. Bartkiewicz teaches mechanical drawing. Irish Relinquish Title In City Finale CC played fabulous ball for the first three quarters of last Friday ' s game with the Tigers, but their bid for a second straight City Title fell short in the fourth quarter. Fort Wayne has rarely wit- nessed such a shooting exhibi- tion as was put on by the Irish in the first three quarters. They hit at a near .500 clip, an as- tounding feat in itself, more- over most of these shots came from the outside, an even more fantastic execution. But it was Central all the way, as they drove up the lane for numerous scores and kept abreast or ahead of the Irish with close-in shots the first twenty-four minutes. Then the Tigers really broke it open. The Centralites opened up a seven point lead and, as Coach Young- peter admitted, Then we got panicky, started to make too many mistakes both on offense and defense, and that was the ball game. The final score was a 19 jKjint margin and certainly does not display the fight and spirit CC Trounces Wabash; Krull Gets Record 37 Last Feb. 16, a modest crowd focused its attention towards a historic basketbal game on the South Side hardwood. It was at that time that the Irish set Reserve Team Finishes Season With 10-7 Record The CC reserve team, under the able leadership of Coach Hal Finch, retired the season with a very commendable 10 and 7 record. Coach Finch believed that the boys made a fine effort this season and expects them to make a fine junior team next year. During the season, the re- serves pounced on such teams as South Bend Riley, Bishop Luers, Concordia, and South Side. Coach Boyle ' s freshman team, with a fine i-ecord behind them this year, is expected by Mr. Finch to make a tremendous reserve team next year. a 40 ' f shooting average pace that will only be upheld by the Irish themselves. Central Catholic started their rampage against Wabash by flying to a 24-14 lead in the first quarter. At half-time CC fans were more than satisfied with the 49-31 score. The Irish did not relent in the third stanza and started the last phase of the game with the score read- ing 58-43. During this quarter the Purple veritably raised the temperature to give Wa- bash a 23 poi nt deficit as the score was 86-63. This was the game and this was the year that saw Steve Krull break CC ' s personal scor- ing record. The previous rec- ord of 33 was held jointly by Bob Pelkington and Jim Haf- fner. Krull topped this by an even four points. Steve Bird finished second with 14 points. Tony Zych piled up 10 points. Fred Dubois had 9; Dwight Craft. 4; Frank Yeranko, 4; Tom Steele, 2; and Mike Flood. 2.

But for the Irish Four — John Marks, Joe Brita, Don Parrot, and Joe Kubisty — man- aging is not all work and no play. In off hours, this team has squeezed 33 wins out of 48 games with Coach Hal Finch in spite of their variable sched- ule and elastic regulations. Despite his dubious record. Mr. Finch does not yet admit defeat. But the managers have stated they feel they have avenged their 256-game loss of last year. double figures: Craft.

Taking some gooey emulsifier or a tranquilizer won ' t solve your problem. Any kind of capsule that goes to your Iron Stomach and soothes your weary body just won ' t do. There is one wonder drug which will relieve your aches and pains. This certain something should be taken in equal doses every night. An overdose is just as bad as an underdose. You can ' t buy this drug anywhere but al- most everyone has it. This marvel of modern medicine is sleep. Tidal Wave By Dennis McCne A huge tidal wave speeds toward an island, Plotting its course for the huts on the sand. It approaches the village under cover of night. But the natives awake, fear puts them to flight. Their flight is in vain; the great wave looms Poised in the air, then downward it booms. It crashes like thunder! The small island quakes; Death and destruction lie in its wake. The Storm By Sally Seyfert The terrible country storm lasted for hours. A forcing wind had blown shutters from their resting places, had driven ani- mals to shelter, and had stolen many hats. The lightning stretched its long white fingers down to crack a tree or start a roaring fire. Thunder clapped, and all loose objects rattled; many persons were frightened. Sheets of rain beating on all roofs, windows, and paths completed the picture. Then, slowly, the elements of this storm ceased and once again the country lay in silence. The Great Example By John Erb When someone has hurt you and you want to strike back, look at the Great Example. When you are feeling depressed and say to yourself What ' s the use? look at the Great Example. When you have the chance to share your good fortune but you ' re tempted to say No, look at the Great Example. Whether you have joys, fortune, trials, or poverty, always remember, look at the Great Example, JESUS CHRIST. My Flag By Felipe Estevez Creative Expression There is an old quotation: You never appreciate what you have until you lose it. I never knew how much I loved my country, my people, my customs, until I was far from Cuba. Every single Friday, at the school I at- tended there, before enjoying the happy vacation of a week-end, we took the best flowers of the garden to our flag. We learned poems to tell her our love for her, and before leaving for home, we sang our National Hymn. Perhaps, because of my immaturity, I did not realize the greatness of my flag; I didn ' t penetrate its meaning. But now that I no longer have my flag to carry flowers to, I miss the tribute of the Friday cere- mony. Only now do I realize the greatness of the flag of my country, Cuba! I would be contented if my flag were free and waving over Cuba! Oh! . . . but she isn ' t! She has been lowered, flattened, cast away. The flag is red with the blood of martyrs, shed for Cuba at the hands of the Communists. While the people looked for freedom, the flag could not remain un- touched. Yes, indeed, my flag weeps; my flag grieves; it is no longer honored. She does not wave in the harbors, along the shores of our sea; her beloved sons do not have their freedom. Dearest flag of mine, symbol of my coun- try, don ' t despair! Some day you will again be flying over Cuba, and you will lead Cubans to the victory of freedom. You will have your fragrant flowers again, and you will have me, an unworthy son, ' tis true, but one who loves you and hopes to serve you forever! Seventeen Booth Tarkington By Diane Kitt This is a warm and humorous story about the trials and highlights of youth at the turn of the century. William Baxter finds himself moonstruck over Lola Pratt. Highly amusing escapades result with our hero pur- suing the hand of Lola. This doesn ' t prove to be easy for he has two rivals, a cunning little sister and the angry father of May Parcher. William Sylvanus Baxter is the main character in the story. He puts on airs to look better than his rivals and is moody and miserable. Many of his actions are foolhardy, but he manages to learn from his mistakes. William has a false pride about his love interest, and this constantly brings forth his hot temper. The story takes place in a small town where everyone is intimately acquainted. The quietness of the town with its shaded streets and front-porch entertainment is picturesquely pre-motorcar America. W ' de stiff collars, long dresses, and straw hats were then in vogue. The conversation was a trifle backwoodsy but common to the period. It was unheard of to marry early, and boys yearned for dress suits till their twenty-first birthday.

And prove to her that I ' m a poet. 100 } ' U4A te itA The Civics Club has selected Jerry Sitko as the Safe Driver for the month of March.

Give Something Special Our sins brought the weight of the wood cutting into His flesh; our denials of Him were the nails stabbing at His holy hands; and our evil words, the vinegar offered Him. As thunder rolled and fear shook the world, our Savior died. The eternal gates were opened because His love for us did not die that day. As the anniversary of Jesus ' death approaches, could- n ' t you find it in your heart to offer Him something in return for the immense gift He gave you ? Passion time could be a renewal of those harder Lenten practices. Christ died for you. What will you do to show your love for Him during this unforgettable period? By Dian Bauer J ' O %iL o oivA Sc orroiv — d C adier ollowA cJLent Easter is so different from Christmas. At Christmas our joy is based on many things. It is helped along by softly falling snow, the sound of sleigh-bells, the gaiety of brightly-lit trees. Our faith in God made man takes on a glow from the warmth of the season. The immense victory of Our Lord ' s Resurrection is cast in other colors. It is prepared for by sombre events, by the shocking display of brutality to which Our Lord was subjected during His Passion and Death. When we view the physical, human atmosphere of Passiontide and Easter, we have the reverse of Christmas. In one case the seasonal mood prompts us to make merry ; in the other case it leads us to think, to reflect — it demands an exercise of our Faith. Yet there is no joy like Easter. There is no burst of emotion in the entire liturgy like the exultant chant of the Easter Vigil. The tinsel and the tinkle of Christ- mas are hollow compared to the deep, overpowering con- viction that Christ ' s victory is ours — that life and death liold no fear for us. This Passiontide and Easter, unbend the stiffened and cramped sinews of your Faith — pledge your loyalty to our great Leader and King, Christ. In Our Lord ' s Death and Resurrection are all the secrets of a strong and happy life. Youth was not made for convenience, but for challenge. You were not made for pleasure but for joy.

He pointed out that you can ' t develop just the body or just the soul. Too many people like one thing, such as one kind of music or one kind of literature, and they never bother to try anything else. His Excellency also stated, You get along with people or you get along without them. If you are constantly looking for the bad in people, you will become an egoist.

March 29, 1963 SHAMROCK Home Ec Proves Invaluable Girls Prepare For The Future For girls only? Hardly. Sister Alice, head of CC ' s home eco- nomics department quickly re- minds us that the leading chefs of the world are men. How could they become such connois- seurs of cooking if they had not studied foods ? Many women ' s dress designers are also men. It might be novel to have a few boys enroll in the foods and clothing classes. Sister Alice daily conducts six home economics classes to- taling more than 260 students. Her department occupies the entire east wing on the fourth floor. Here you will find six complete kitchens, some of which have special equipment for the more advanced students. The sewing room contains thirteen machines, and the home apartment is kept spotless by the seniors. The freshmen classes are taught by Miss Seyfert. Their course in Christian Family Liv- ing is an orientation into the sophomore and junior classes. The sophomore classes spent the first five months of the school year studying foods and are taking up the rest of their time with basic clothing. These beginners are centering their work on wool and cotton co- ordinates and simple cotton dresses. On the other hand, juniors spent their first five months on advanced sewing and tailoring. The remaining months are be- ing concentrated on meal plan- ning. When studying foods, these two groups spend one day per week in the lab. Sewing re- quires five days per week in the lab. The seniors study home man- agement which is a pooling to- gether of the whole program. This course runs through a woman ' s entire life from dating to marriage, and on to how to secure a happy retirement. Th3 students cover human and family psychology and learn to manage their money, time and energy. Another feature of this class is the home nursing course, which deals with the care of bedridden patients and civil de- You can read and you can write, but I can sew a dress just right. The girls in Sister Alice ' s clothing classes learn the art of making fashionable apparel. fense programs. The final at- traction of this class is the Do ' s and Don ' ts of interior decorating and home planning. Sister Alice feels that these home economics classes will be a definite help to the girls in the future. Money will be saved on clothes since home made clothes require no costly alterations. Of course, these clothes will fit better and be much more attrac- tive. The connect type of eat- ing habits and nutritional foods will certainly aid their families. Mr. Woods Builds Music Dept. The sound of music echoes through these hallowed halls under the direction of Joseph M. Woods, who has been affili- ated with Central Catholic for the past 17 years. Besides be- ing the Director of Music Edu- cation hei-e at CC, Mr. Woods is also the Supervisor of Instru- ment 1 Classes in the twelve Catholic elementary schools which feed into CC. Mr. Woods was born and reared in Huntington, Ind., where he attended Saints Peter and Paul Elementary School and Huntington Catholic High School. He received his BS in Music Education from Man- chester College and his MA in Music (Piano Major) Educa- tion from Teachers College, Columbia University, N.Y. Upon graduation from college in 1942. Mr. Woods obtained his teacher ' s license. At the same time he entered the Army Air Corps, and after one month basic training, was assigned to the twenty-second AAF Band. He taught and directed music for three and one-half years in ]Mr. Joseph Woods the Army Air Corps Bands. He was first Sergeant and assistant band leader of the Band Ti-ain- ing Center at Kerns, Utah, which, at that time, trained military bands and band per- sonnel for the entire Western Command. When his unit moved to Fresno and Los Angeles, California, Mr. Woods worked many U.S.O. shows with various well-known names such as Bob Hope, Jerry Cologna, Bing Cros- by, and Joe E. Brown. He worked with both concert and dance bands on radio at Salt Lake, Utah; Fresno. Calif.; Spokane, Wash.; Camp Davis, N.C.; and Wright Field, Dayton, O. Mr. Woods played in the Salt Lake Symphony and the Fresno State College Symphony. Mr. Woods began teaching at Central Catholic in September of ' 46. A year later he started the first school dance band. In September of ' 49 Mr. Woods became head of the Music De- partment which included the orchestra and the band. In 195.3, Mr. Woods took over the chorus. Giving his views on Catho- lic education, Mr. Woods has this to say, In Catholic schools the aim is to lead the pupil to a union with God, in which un- ion alone he finds complete hap- piness. This broad purpose in- cludes subsidiary objectives such as mental, moral, physical, so- cial and vocational efficiency. These will be attained as part of the progress toward union with God. Music is a necessary part of this education. ro5 k c ommenl Kyn fiahe3i. ueare To enjoy or not to enjoy. That was the question: whether the freshmen could or could not appreciate Hamlet as performed by the seminarians from Lake Wawasee. What would they think of their first taste of Shakespeare ? To their credit, the majority of them liked the presentation even though they had trouble with the sound. larie Jones, 204. thoroughly enjoyed the play. For me, the most enjoyable portions were the startling speeches of Ham- let, the prince. They seemed to lighten the whole production. while at the same time, they gave the play a dark moodiness that fit perfectly. After seeing Hamlet. Patrick Bruggeman, 204, feels that Shakespeare was a great por- trayer of character deserving to be acclaimed the dramatist of all times. Although some of the lan- guage was Greek to me, says Macaria Rodriguez, 105. I did comprehend some of it, and I Hked what I heard. Linda Libbing, 204, also liked what she heard. In the lovely soliloquies he shows the utter despair and the capti -at- ing joys that the human mind encompasses from one moment to the next. All Shakespeare ' s plays are wonderful. according to Bar- bara Jones, 200. Billie Jane Wid- ner. 103, added that she ' d like to see more of his works in the future. 113 SHAMROCK March 29, 1 963 SpeciYfca fy Speaking The Year of Our Lord 1962, was a year of Amer- ican resolve, Russian orbit- ing, European union, and Chinese war, By Tom Palmer began TIME magazine in its introduction to the article. In a tense yet hope-filled time, these were the events that dom- inated conversations and invited history ' s scrutiny. But history has a long eye, and ... in her vision, 1962 ' s most fateful ren- dezvous took place in the world ' s most famous Church — having lived for centuries in men ' s hearts and minds. This ren- dezvous, of course, was the con- vening of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council in Rome by Pope John XXIII. As a con- sequence of launching a reform whose goal is to make the Catli- olic Church sine macula et ruga (without spot or wrinkle), the Vicar of Christ on Earth was awarded TIME NEWS-MAGA- ZINE ' S Man of the Year Award. And rightly so, for the reforms and changes expected to be made by the Council will indelibly imprint on the pages of histoi-y the mark of the Catholic Church. Pope John ' s view of today ' s world owes little to the long- cherished Augustinian concep- tion of it as divided into the City of God and the City of Man. To Pope John, the Church is not an exclusive club with its own narrow rules, but a Mother who must follow man into the mud as well as the sky. It is the Church that must bring Christ to the world, he said in a recent radio message. That is a never ending task to be at- tempted at a time when the world presents far more for- midable obstacles to Christian- ity than the paganism of the Greeks and Romans ever did. Christianity offers a unified view of the world that has at- tracted men for centuries, and answers questions of love, life, and death as few other religions do. Everywhere theologians of all creeds praise Pope John and his Vatican II Council. Even Soviet Preimer Nitka Khruschev was moved. He praised the Pope ' s pleas for peace and sent him a greeting on his eightieth birth- day. In return. Pope John prom- ised to pray for the people of Russia. As a further proof of the Pope ' s reception into the hearts of men and their convic- tions, John XXIII was presented with the $51,000 Balzan peace award for his efforts to reconcile the world ' s nations and relig- ions. Khruschev, and his jour- nalist son-in-law who attended a special audience of the Pope, warmly praised the selection. Pope John has given the world what neither science nor diplom- acy can provide: a sense of its unity as the human family. That sense is at the core of the Christian tradition, whose God lives in history and invites the family of man to help him form it. If the invitation goes beg- ging in a world besieged by tension and seduced by its own accomplishments, Christianity must share the blame. In keeping with his belief that man should be saved where he is. not where he ought to be the Pope has helped vastly to recapture the Christian sense of family by bringing Christianity to a new confrontation with the world and salving the wounds that have torn it for centuries. For in a time of apocalyptic seriousness, man has realized more than ever that he does not live by bread alone — nor by guns.

By Diane Fullara Boom! Yep, they ' ve landed again. The spring modes have just jetted in this year. There ' s quite a change too! I think they are quite pleas- ing to the eyes (ever mascu- line eyes!). Colorwise, the Easter Parade will display beau- tiful blush pink, heavenly blue, vanilla, bright yellow, and ap- ple green. Suits and dresses of linen- weave silk, celanese rayon and crepe prove to be practical and most popular. Styles for dresses appear to be the pairing pull- over, shift, skimmer, and em- press. As you can see, simplicity is still quite the look. If you ' re seeking a spring coat I ' d suggest one made of mohair and rayon; they ' re dreamy with their soft, plushy appearance. Fancy footwear will be in an array of patent colors. Also, lassies, for your relief the mid- size heel has become the vogue. Now, for fun time and relax- ation. The styles of farmland have been sent into the fashion orbit. Don ' t frown. Look around and you ' ll see some mighty novel clothes. For instance, wrap-around skirts with sus- Enjoys Courses law, and general business to earn this claim to fame. Paul first decided on a busi- ness course when the nce-presi- dent of the International Busi- ness College advised him to do so. He enjoys the classes and suggests that other boys con- sider business training. Paul, a good student, has been offered positions by various business concerns but has been unable to accept them. Having taken his basic train- ing in the Navy last summer, Paul plans to start active serv- ice this September. After he is discharged, he hopes to enter business college and take ac- counting. 3 , al ed penders, lots of blue denim, and bermuda dresses and jumpers are all darling. They come in plain colors those very popular madras plaids, and believe it or not, burlap! I think it will be loads of fun to swing into spring with this new apparel, don ' t you? P.S. Next month, especially for you senior pretties, we ' ll talk about the prom. The latest fad comes in all styles, sizes, and colors. Style and size are standard, but the color can range from egg yolk yellow to burnt hamburger black. If you ' re worried about not having one, forget it. The fad is the old all-American sweatshirt. Not just any sweat- shirt will do — it has to have something written on it. This is where variety and in- dividuality come in. Anything from Johann Sebastian Bach with accompanying 12 by 15 picture to the numbers on last season ' s football jersey is an ap- propriate inscription. The more unusual yours is, the more hep your sweatshirt makes you. There is one for everyone. Some of those I have seen are . . . Moscow University . . . Podo Chess Team— Fifth String . . . Daughters of the Rescue Mis- sion . . . Trans-Atlantic Cable Layers Club. But the sweat- shirt that looks like a straight- jacket has made me lose faith in the clothing industry. Many people are sporting the colors and names of their favor- ite college or high school — a more common and sensible type. It is usually good publicity for the school and it shows that the wearer is proud to be iden- tified with that particular school. This is why wherever I see someone with his Fighting Irish, I feel pride in my school, and I know others realize this spirit too. Other spring fashions will in- clude the golfer-style jacket, gradually lighter colored slacks, track shoes, and, of course, an umbrella. 114 March 29, 1 963 SHAMROCK Thinlies Face Tough Schedule ' ' ' hy Don Parrot in With spring breaking out all over, it ' s time for CC ' s for- gotten sport again. Although track meets can be just as ex- citing and interesting as basket- ball and football games, spec- tator sports seem to end at CC with the passing of the hard- wood season. The 1963 version of the Irish track team shows lots of prom- ise and has experienced men in every event. However, Coach Walter Bartkiewicz has stated that the competition is keen and the field is still wide open. CC ' s strong point this year again seems to be centered in the sprints. Tom Hueber, Bill Krouse, and Mike Flood are the returning lettermen, wth Jim Gage and Mike McKee also ready to run the 100 and 220 yd. dashes. Don Wunderlin, Phil Charais, and Allen Hoffman take their combined experience into the 440, which is a long dash and not a short run as it is often considered to be. In the dist- ance i-uns, Jim Roussel and Clem Trevino will again com- pete in the 880 yd. run and John Mauch, with help from Don Schroeder and Mike Mowan will make it rough on opposing milers. The hurdles will be handled by Henry Reitzug and Larry Steinbacher. Rich Vuk- manovich and Bruce Paterson will be ready to give assist- ance in the 120 yd. high hurdles. In the field events, Whitey Boedeker will compete in all but the pole vault. Jerry Sitko and Fred Dubois, with plenty of var- sity experience behind them, should be ready for a good sea- snn in the shot put and high jump, respectively. Phil Wyss and Greg Butler are also ready for the shot put as are Bill Hoot and Paul Habecker for the broad jump. Phil Charais, Tom Gusch- ing and Clem Trevino, last year ' s pole vaulters, are all back for another season. The half-mile relay will be handled by the sprinters and the mile relay goes to the dist- ance runners and the 440 men. Three of the four members of last year ' s record breaking half- mile relay team, Tom Hueber, Bill Krouse, and Mike Flood, are back for another tr ' . The fourth spot, vacated when Bill Nancarrow graduated, might be handled by Phil Charais, Coach Bartkiewicz has indicated. Coach commented that we have a rough schedule, facing all the city teams plus some rough out of town competition which includes Culver Militarj ' Academy and Columbia City. However, he also said, The en- thusiasm is good and we hope it carries through to the end of the season. If it does, we can look forward to a good season. s„ in football. CC basketball players were honored at post- season polls. Mike Flood, kneeling at left, received honorable mention in the All-Diocesan balloting. Carl Jacquay received hon- orable mention in both All-Diocesan and All-City voting. In back, Dwight Craft, Steve KruU, and Tony Zych were named to the Sun- day Visitor ' s All-Diocesan team. Steve Krull also received a berth on the .Ml-City team, with Dwight Craft and Tony Zych getting honorable mention. Golfers Invade Links Golf started with a bang this year as record turnouts for both varsity and intramurals were noted by Mr. Daniel. Twenty-two boys are trying out for varsity as well as playing intramural while there are eight who are out for varsity only and seven- teen for intramural only, bring- ing final tallies to thirty for varsity and forty-nine for intra- mural. Mr. Daniel believes that with thirty boys out for varsity com- petition and only ten places op- en he should have plenty of tal- ent from which to choose. There are three lettermen back from last year ' s team. Mr. Daniel believes that this year ' s varsity team, possibly built around the returnees, Riiss Kumfer, Steve Hensler, and Steve Krull, should be able to equal or possibly better last year ' s 9-6 won-lost recoi-d. Weather could upset plans, but tryouts will probably start the week of April 8 with spring vacation given to the compet- itors for tuning up. Intramurals will be run dif- ferently this year, according to Mr. Daniel. The season will consist of five weeks — starting the week of April 16 — in which an average of 18 holes a week (90 holes altogether) must be played. During the five weeks one must play with at least five others also in intramurals. Then, according to the scores turned in, those who meet the require- ments will be divided into flights for an 18-hole tournament to be held the week after the close of the season. May 18. Appro- priate trophies will be awarded to the flight champions. ports The United States has the most widely diversified sports agenda of any other country in the world. There are approxi- mately 3.5 well-known American sports. The main sport during fall is football. During the winter months basketball makes its rounds along with hockey, ski- ing, and sledding. Spring hosts the sports of badminton, base- ball, camping, fishing, golf, hik- ing, horseshoes, tennis, and track. As spring unfolds into summer, thes e sports are still not forgotten. They are some- what overshadowed by recrea- tions such as boating, croquet, competitive diving, scuba diving, sailing, water skiing, surfing, and swimming. To round things off, there are sports that find a place at any time of the year. These include bowling, boxing, fencing, hand- ball, hunting, judo, racing in its many forms, riding, weightlift- ing, and wrestling. Central Catholic plays a key role, in-so-far-as about one-half of the afore-mentioned sports can be obtained here. What ' s more, everyone of these sports can be found in the state of In- diana, with the exception of surfing. There has been much talk about the poor physical fitness of American youth. With all the opporutunities put before this generation, there are no satisfactory reasons why this generation cannot excel, not in just two or three sports, but in every sport mentioned in this article. Free competition in American sports can result in a country unparalleled with a more perfect siciety. So to prove again an old adage. You can kill two birds with one stone is the fact that while building up your moral and physical capacities, you are hav- ing a ball doing it!

His motive was to make his mother think he was patriotic. In his first battle he was neither hero nor coward as long as the going was smooth. When things got rough, his first thought was that of a cow- ard — to run away. When he found his regiment had not been defeated, he was so overcome by remorse of conscience that he couldn ' t stand to be idle. And he went back to the field of battle, he didn ' t get too close — close enough to see, but not close enough to be seen by the fighting soldiers. He ran into a small band of cow- ards on his way, one of whom was so over- come by fear that he struck Heni-y on the head and gave liim his much cherished, undesei- ' ed red badge of courage. Again Heniy shows his weakness when he lets himelf be falsely and unjustly praised. This praise, however, inspires him to fight like a wildcat and teaches him to be a man. He also fights with his friend for the glory of carrying the flag. As the end of the story draws near, Heniy puts his two sides to- gether and comes up with a better man, neither a war-loving wildcat nor a war-fear- ing coward. Springtime Debut By Jane Vukmanovich As IVIother Nature slowly uncovers her emerald wonderland and once more gathers the remnants of winter to store in the chest of age, the world bursts forth into a paradise of blossoms, flowers, and music. Her pre- cious gems come alive wearing crowns of colorful pink, blue, and yellow. The me- lodious sound of the nightingale permeates the nocturnal stillness as it flies from tree- top to treetop. Dame Nature nudges her sleeping children from her warm bosom, reminding them that spring is here and summer is nigh. Standing on unsteady legs, her newest generation seeks to fathom the mysteries of her forest floor. The gold of the brilliant sun illuminates her counte- nance, and the sparkle of her eyes spreads a canopy of heavenly blue over-all. Behold! Mother Nature makes her springtime debut wrapped in a resplendent rainbow of glory. Tonight I ' m. Sixteen By Mildred Reed A full, yellow moon slowly climbs its ladder of stars and the ice on the lake is like nature ' s looking-glass. The white bril- liance of the moon mirrors itself in every downy flake that rests upon the ground. In the distance can be heard the soft laugh- ter of young voices. The sounds come closer and the two silhouettes can be seen etched against the clear winter sky. As they climb the fence and slide down the snow bank, the glow in their eyes tells you that they are oblivious of everything but the here and now. Their wings of bright steel glide them into a world all their own, a skating wonderland, a world of breath-taking beau- ty and majestic gradeur. Although God blesses us with many such winter nights there will never be an- other like this, for tonight I ' m sixteen and enchanted with life. Spring Is Sprung By Carol Lynn Junk A hint of spring is in the air. The ice has melted. The streets are bare. The flowers awake; They think it ' s spring. They show their little heads of green. The trees are budding. The plants are growing, But, alas, once again it ' s snowing. Moni.ent of Regret By Margaret Coulter Anger in evei-y line of his face, Mr. Strong strode into the auditorium. I felt every muscle and tendon pull tight as he neared the platform, and I sensed the elec- tricity in the air. We surely were going to get told. Why had we disobeyed the Superior and conducted the dance after his negative answer? We all deserved whatever Mr. Strong was going to hand out to us. Mr. Strong cleared his throat, knitted his brows, pursed his lips, and started the hour-long lecture. Several of my compan- ions were humiliated and I knew before long my turn would arrive. I was now on my feet; Mr. Strong ' s muscular finger point- ed at me. I felt my skin tingle and turn various shades of red. Finally my trial was over and I once again was seated. At last Mr. Strong strolled out of the auditorium, leaving us in a maze of emotions. God ' s Own Catliedral By Colleen Gibson God built His own cathedral within the forest grand; He sculptured all its features within His almighty Hand. The altar is a huge flat rock; the towering trees, its steeple; The pews are made of fallen trunks and the wildlife are people. The pulpit is a large tree stump, a squirrel is the preacher. Telling all the wild folk about the Mighty Teacher. Listen to the choirs voice, the singing of a bird. And the organ, the wind in the trees, can be heard. Pine-scented incense drifts among the birch.

She appeared to a young girl at Lourdes, to a young man at Guadalupe, and to numerous others. As Catholics we do not need these miracles to back up our belief. Every Catholic should know that Our Blessed Mother loves him individually, whether he be saint or sinner. Our Lady cares for us and intercedes for us with Our Lord. During the month of May, which is dedicated to Our Lady, can ' t we try to better our relations with her? Let ' s make the love in our hearts for her as big as her ' s is for us. We can also pray that our country will be blessed with peace in these troubled times. Everytime she has appeared she has asked us to pray for peace. Is this too big a request — to save the world from total destruction ? We don ' t need a miracle to prove Our Lady ' s love for us, but Our Blessed Mother may see one when we prove our love for her! B; Ken Anec Irish Stew During the sophomore and junior camping trip over spring vacation. Father Isenbarger, who went along as chaplain, derived a great amount of pleasure from cutting down tents with the occupants inside. Therefore, Mike Delaney and Steve Schulien got an idea for revenge. Steal- ing into his cabin, the boys exchanged hi; bedsprings for string and replaced the mattress. Tim Madru brought Sister Augustine some frog eggs. That afternoon Sister held the container of eggs up to the light to show the tadpoles about to hatch. Suddenly one did. Oh, look! cried Sister, one just hatched. From the rear of the room came the voice of a boy, sing- ing, Happy Birthday to you. Member — Indiana High School Press Association Quill and Scroll.

It is the time of the year when one dreams of faraway places, envisions great future exploits and mighty fulfillment, takes the 5-mile walk, or tinkers with an old car. As truly and as richly as does nature bloom forth in the new spring does man feel a new burst of glory, an new upreaching . . . This is all part of God ' s plan, the plan of the Creator Who makes all growth pos- sible. In complete accord with the Plan, the tree sprouts green leaves, the tiny flower unfolds its petals, the violet pushes up the soft earth. Such nature has no choice but to live according to the law. Man, more delicately en- dowed, has more choice in his development. The germ of great things implanted in him, he may abort; he may compromise with lofty ambitions, great desires. Unlike the tree which grows strong struggling against the storm, man may choose to sway with the wind rather than con- test for mastery. In his choice depends his eventual hap- piness ; for unless man grows to the full stature God des- tined for him, he will never be completely happy. Self- actualization is the psychologist ' s word for it . . . and a good word it is, for unless man grows physically, emotion- ally, and spiritually to the full stature God has intended for him, he is happy neither here nor hereafter . . .

Shamrock Reviews Class Of 7963; Seniots Preview Year End Activities The class of ' 63 graduates June 2, leaving an impressive record of achievement behind. Excelling on the football field, they were undefeated in their freshman and sophomore years and followed up this record by taking the city title as seniors. Basketball fans were pleased as the class of ' 63 racked up an 11-7 record as freshman and 10-7 as sophomores. As seniors they have distinguished them- selves by placing men on the all-City and all-Diocesan teams. The senior talents were not all centered in athletics. In the academic world the seniors were known for placing large num- bers on the honor roll. While sophomores, as many as sixty made honors in one quarter. Out of the senior class came two national merit finalists. One-third of the class turned out to help on the Junior Dance exemplifying the co-operation and spirit of the class. As seniors the class has proved able leaders in steering the various clubs and organiza- tions throughout an active year. .As the past year ' s events fade into memories, the seniors look forward to many year-end ac- tivities. After staging their class play, May 10-12, the seniors will hold the Class Day activities, May 24. The juniors have been in- vited to reminisce with the sen- iors over the last four years and to peek into the future. The seniors will match their sizes as they practice for grad- uation in their last week of school. The morning of May 28 will bring the seniors to their last Recollection here at CC. The parents of the near grad- uates will attend the bacca- laureate Mass and dinner with them. May 29 at 4:30 p.m. Father Hammond will be the celebrant and the guest speaker will be Father McXulty. The r o m a n ti c Till the Twelfth of Never will picture the seniors in their formal at- tire. The scene for this lovely occasion is the Coliseum. The date of the prom is May 31. The SHAMROCK wishes the seniors best of luck in the fu- ture. 123 SHAMROCK April 25, 1 963 With Classes And Clubs Adopt a souI Religion Classes Sophomores of Sister Bern- arda ' s religion class have com- pleted a study of the Holy Mass and assembled interesting, ar- tistic, and helpful booklets on this subject. After studying the principles of grace and the moral law, they will read the lives of various saints. They are planning to study the reactions of grace on these souls, which molded their lives into pattern of virtue that lends itself to imitation. Students of Sister Mary Fa- bian ' s freshman religion class prepared a reading of Our Lord ' s Passion according to St. John. They presented it for their classmates on Tuesday of Holy Week, for their reflection purposes and evaluation. Greg Roth narrated; Steve Neuhaus portroyed Christ; and other parts were taken by Seve Ramp, Mike Harker, Rick Gabriel, and Kathy Fair. ■ Chemistry The five CC chemistry stu- dents who took the final test from the American Chemical Society last Saturday were Henry Marciniak, Ralph Wet- more, Henry Reitzug, Tom Junk, and Donna Giere. Results of the test will be announced in May. Music Department In the contests at Crown Point last Saturday, CC ' s band, orchestra, and chorus all re- ceived an Excellent rating. ■4 Latin Sister Patricia Eileen ' s Latin I classes are participating in a special originality contest. These efforts are for the benefit of the students to develop their cre- ative ability in the form of poems, essays, and other works of Latin art.

May 4, at Rodgers Market parking lot at the comer of North Anthony and Crescent Avenue. ■4 English Sister Bernarda ' s five English classes are practicing the art of writing letters for various oc- casions that merit correspond- ence. These students will con- clude the year by reading fam- ous novels as a class project. Discussion will be in small groups of five in order to be- come familiar with the theme, plot, characters, etc. Save A Sinner Senior members of the SSC have taken up a program of adoption of souls. Names of persons who are not practicing their faith or whose conversions are desired are turned in. These are coded and given to the stu- dents so that the names of in- dividuals are not known. The students adopt a soul and offer prayers and sacrifices for his conversion. This activity was suggested and membership cards were provided by Mr. Ed Dahm, head of the local CDL chapter. 4 Civics Club The ultimatum of suspense derived from cheer-leading try- outs and other various achieve- ments will be fulfilled at the an- nual Award Dance, sponsored by the Civics Club, May 3. Win- ners of the most sociable boy and girl, cleanup day, and the announcement of the cheerlead- ers for 1963-64 will make up the excitement of the evening. Itortltand L ombats L c Because the disease of com- munistic materialism is persist- ently making inroads in the world of business today, there is an urgent need for a new em- phasis in business training: that students be armed with Chris- tian social principles as they as- sume responsibilities in govern- ment, labor, and industry. With this idea in mind, the author of this course. Dynamic Shorthand Skill Building, has linked the development of shorthand skills to the papal encyclicals. The messages, inspirational and timeless, provide some of the most important social teachings of the Church ever written. Three important encyclicals have been included: Communism, Social Justice, and Christian Marriage. Since they appear in popular versions, the vocabu- lary difficulties are minimized for the shorthand student. The unique characteristic of Dynamic Shorthand Skill Build- ing is that as it provides suit- able dictation material for omntunidm speed and vocabulary develop- ment, it also uses the social en- cyclicals as the content matter with which the student develops skills. Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, who is the teacher with perhaps the widest influence today, com- mended the book in these words: I am delighted with your idea of using the papal encycli- cals as a basis for shorthand dictation and classroom discus- sion. You have made short- hand an excellent vehicle for the communication of spiritual truths. Primarily, Dynamic Short- hand Skill Building makes ex- cellent shorthand writers of its users, shorthand writers who are prepared to take up their work in a world that needs their shorthand skill as much as it needs their ideas. This is the first aim of the book; the sec- ond aim is to bring about a clearer realization of the social teachings of the Church through the use of the encyclicals. 124 April 25, 1963 SHAMROCK Central Provides Shared Time CC ' ers Participate In Vocationai Classes Unlike most parochial schools, Central Catholic is able to offer a wide selection of manual classes. This can be accredited to the spirit of co-operation which has been formed between CC and Central High School. The classes offered to CC by Central vary from those held in the quiet environment of a classroom to the noisy rhythm of the workshop. Auto is a popular course which offers students a chance to develop and perfect their tal- ents as mechanics. It consists of classroom studies and actual repair jobs. They do their work on cars which have been brought into Central ' s built-in garage. With the exception of a nearby classroom, the garage looks and is like any auto repair shop. With experience, these wrench jockeys become capable of high- ly efficient and skilled labor. If a young man intends to make auto repairs his lifetime work, he can easily apply for vocational auto. The time al- loted for this course is two per- iods a day. Because of its life- like arrangement, it offers an excellent background for the mechanically minded. Mechanical drawing is another course which is popular among many of CC ' s students. After a year of basic training at Cen- tral Catholic, many of the boys continue drafting by enrolling in one of Central ' s courses. Mechanical drawing is a course which trains students in the art of drawing up plans for machin- ery, accessories, or patterns, etc. Although it is associated chiefly in the metal and wood- working fields, it is also affili- ated with most major busi- nesses. Since it is directly re- lated to the mechanical engi- neering field, it is necessary for most engineers to have some background in drafting. Electric shop is another use- ful course. It starts with simple drawings and wiring, and it quickly develops the students into household electricians. They are taught the proper ways to wire lights, light switches, door- bells, etc. Much of their work consists of drawing sketches showing the proper techniques in wiring. In many cases the pupils learn the facets of the electrical field without doing the actual work right there. Machine shop is a class which offers students a chance to ac- quire experience in metal work- ing and shaping. The shop it- self is equipped with metal turn- ing lathes and other metal shap- ing equipment. Eact student is given certain projects to fin- ish. When this is completed, it is graded and the student is then given a harder project. Al- though the projects are simple at first, they quickly become complex enough to test the pupils ' ability. One class which requires alertness is welding. The stu- dents in this class are required to make projects by welding pieces of metal together in cer- tain positions in relation to each other. The boys are protected by heat resistant clothing and special face masks. Wood is a class which allows students to make valuable ma- terials while learning fine crafts- manship. During the first se- mester, the boys develop their skill with hand tools and com- Cheryl Racine, Pam Falk, standing; Mary Angela Eggers, and Matha Till put finishing touches on their art creations at Central. paritively slow moving ma- chines, such as lathes. The first semester is basic and conse- quently no major projects can be made during this time. Later in the year, however, the stu- dents have had enough experi- ence to work on high speed equipment. At this point they may select a project suited to their needs and ability. Most students work on tables, gun- racks, etc., but the most ad- vanced students work on cedar chests and other complicated pieces of furniture. Central art allows students to work with oils, chochard paints, ink, chalk, and water colors. The students have made their own medias. Needless to say this course offers an excellent background for future artists, and increases one ' s appreciation for art. Sister Notes Growth In CC ' ers Seniors Tom Sauter and Tom Hiicber map out a drafting problem at Central in preparation for their mechanical drawing class. Sister Mary Loretta, SP, who teaches religion, Latin, English, and creative expression, is now in her seventh year at CC. Sis- ter taught here in 1950 and 1951, l eft the school that year, and returned again in 1958. While at CC her special fields in teaching have been Latin and English. Sister Mary Loretta received her B.A. from Saint Mary-of- the-Woods College with a double major in Latin and Greek. Sister has her M.A. degree in English from Marquette University, Mil- waukee, Wis. Traveling from coast to coast, Sister has taught at Marywood, Evanston, 111.; Mary vood-of-the- West, Anaheim, Cal.; Immacu- late, Washington. D.C.; Saint Patrick, Terre Haute, Ind.; and Saint Agnes Academy, India- napolis, Ind. My greatest joy as a teach- er, Sister revealed, is the ful- fillment of my religious vocation in doing the work assigned me as a Sister of Providence. I enjoy working with young peo- ple, I find them stimulating, inspiring, and challenging. Sister finds the students at CC to be very democratic, staunch- ly loyal to each other, highly Sister Mary Loretta responsible in the after-school jobs, and mature enough to be self-supporting. This fact as- tonished me. She continues, No doubt their responsibility stems from the fact that in their large families each one has as- signed tasks. The two obsei-vations Sister has noticed for the better among CC ' ers are the growing desire for a college education among the majority of seniors and the recognition on their part that a well-read person is truly the educated person. 125 SHAMROCK April 25, 1963 -3 By Diane Fullam aj . o. n By Tom Hneber Formal wear is not a diffi- cult subject for the male, at least when compared to the time and worry the female goes through. The most trouble- some detail is the cost. If you wish to purchase a tux you can pay anything — anything over fifty dollars. The standard cost is usually out of the ques- tion on high school budgets. Now for the more probable — the cheaper way of acquiring that prom outfit . . . rental. There are many places in this area where a promer can rent his favorite color and style at a reasonable price. A local specialist offers this color selection: bold red, sky blue (pastel), midnight black, the traditional white, and some- thing really sharp, the mahara- jah. All but the last come with complete cummerbund set, sus- penders, fancy shirt and studs. The purpose for the color se- lection is to match your outfit with the color of dress your date is wearing. If you wear the maharajah, a hook on cross bow tie is most appropriate. The cummerbund and bow tie can be purchased or rented in just about any color or material pat- tern. Don ' t forget to order flowers that match her dress and ask her if she wants the wrist or pin-on type corsage. Well girls, it ' s on its way again. That hustling, bustling time of year when graduation rolls around, not to mention that May 31 is getting closer and closer. I ' ve noticed that quite a few, in fact, most of the sen- ior girls have their prom gowns selected. Don ' t you be caught looking for a dress around May 28 or 29. I ' d like to advise you to be prepared now so you don ' t have to buy a frock that ' s been picked over. Remember you want that night to be extra spe- cial. Since we ' re talking about Til the Twelfth of Never, I thought it might be fun to give you a sneak preview of what our stylish senior girls are wearing that eve. Sue Franke has chosen a very unusual dress. It is white or- gandy with an eyelet and lace 3 4 Specifically Speaking bodice, that is straight across the top, with rather wide straps, the under skirt will be pink. Mary Ann Kerb has planned a blue theme to her outfit. Her dress is satin with a covered bodice and small sleeves. The skirt is belle shaped, with an overskirt, which is scalloped at the waist and topped off with a tiny bow. Rosalind Groman ' s dress is white with an aqua sash and embroidery. It is floor length and made out of silk organza. Judy and Jeannie Loew will wear pastel green silk organza floor length formals. The bodice is cuffed and the skirt is a con- trolled full style. Angle Eggers will wear yel- low which should enhance her light complexion. Her princess style gown has a controlled full skirt and is embroidered down the front of the dress. This is just a sample of the many pretty dresses that have been planned for this memo- rable night. I think all the boys will appear gallant and the girls ravishing at ' Til the Twelfth of Never. What is a democracy ? Armies claim to bring it to nations. Poli- ticians prom- ise it. Com- munists de- nounce the By Tom Palmer old, formalistic, bourgeois democracy of the West and pro- claim the new people ' s de- mocracy of the East. Age has abused it; people misuse it. Yet they seem to favor it above any other form of government in the world today. What is de- mocracy, and what is its spir- itual basis ? We believe it is a crowd of people under a government of their own who not only have the vital everyday problems, such as, Will I find a job? or How will I raise my children? or Must I go to war? , but also great and deep hopes which from one point of view add up to Utopia and from the other to a Kingdom in Heaven. Some folks are admittedly bigger than others, for awhile, but seen in the perspective of birth and death, they are really pretty much the same size. To democracy, they are all equal under the law. To Christianity, they are all alike, because all are the children of God. They Versatile Alumna Works As Volunteer For ELV Nurse, catechist, chauff ' eur, all these things and many more are a part of the daily life of Sally Overmeyer. Sally, a CC graduate, is a member of ELV-Extension Lay Volunteers, a n organization which sends young Catholic women as nurse-missionaries through our own country. Before joining ELV Sally re- ceived her RN from St. Joseph ' s Hospital School of Nursing in Fort Wayne, worked in the Uni- versity of California outpatient department for three years, and was with the Fort Wayne Vis- iting Nurse Service for two years. This experience has proved invaluable in her year ' s assignment to Sacred Heart parish in Caruthersville, Mo. Sally is Extension ' s only parish nurse and perhaps the only par- ish nurse in the United States. Sally ' s mission area is quite needy. There are approximate- ly 8,600 people in the parish, many of whom live in shacks and can ' t read or write. Some too poor to own a toothbrush or to buy soap. Many of the Cath- olics do not attend Mass, and non-Catholics have a frighten- ing opinion of the Church. Sally has had to use her in- genuity in many ways. For ex- ample, she uses a kitchen chair as a patient walker. On Sun- day mornings she chauffeurs her parishioners to Mass in the school bus. Besides all this Sally is a private duty nurse, catechist, choir member, relief CYC in- structor, and co-chairman of the area ' s Co-Operation of Chari- ties organization. Surely Sally is a credit to CC and a shining example of Our Lords ' admonition to be all things to all men. are, as Chesterton once said, the million masks of God. Now the fundamental ques- tion we have come to face is this: How can there be a law unless there is a law-giver, and how can there be children ex- cept there be also a Father? If the legislator be not God, then who shall we say he is? Perhaps Hitler or Stalin? As soon as you say that the moral code has not been written on the hearts of all men by Someone not man, you indicate that nothing has been imprinted on these hearts at all, and that here is the great chance for some chap with the gift of pen- manship. But under his dicta- tion men will no longer be equal. He will be the master and they the slaves. Then democracy will have died as we have seen it die, tragically and wildly, over a great area of the earth. We modern men may very well have found out how to blow up the world. We know that we can kill a million people — possibly millions of people — in a single night. Can the one who might fall in the holocaust of so many still be sure that he is not just a digit, or a cipher, or a quantity of grease ? And how without this certainty can the concept of democracy retain its meaning? These are the questions which mankind is asking of Christian- ity, and I think the mission of the Church is to answer them on the one hand by talking the plainest kind of common sense, and on the other hand, by doing — or trying to do — great and almost quixotic things for the healing of our world, such as the bridging of the gap between races and people. Christianity is strong because it knows the good, but it is con- vincing also because it has looked into the heart of evil. And so it knows that its child, democracy, has often, alas, been greedy and selfish, given to gusts of passion, illiterate and vengeful. Even so, democracy is the child, as no slave society can ever be. It must hope that the words of its parent, Chris- tianity, will be wise, understand- ing, and warm-hearted. It must assume that there will be no mere barren contentiousness in the household of God, but love, which alone can create freedom and power and the knowledge of truth. 126 April 25, 1963 SHAMROCK Two Records Broken Tracksters Set For Fine Finish pottlanling. Runners to your marks, . . . get set, . . . BANG. These familiar commands have been sending runners off to the races this past month in track meets across the country, not excepting CC. After facing tough opposition throughout the month of April, sometimes not faring too well, but always giving it the ' Fight- ing Irish effort, CC thinlies get set to finish off the schedule with a flourish of victories. They hope to get this final leg of the season off on the right foot at the New Haven relays this Saturday, April 27. The main threat to Irish chances here, seems to be posed by Con- cordia. Earlier in the year the Cadets beat the Purple who were very much undermanned at the time. Next Tuesday CC will host Bishop Luers at St. Vincent Villa and May 3, they will go to New Haven to close out the sea- son and get tuned up for sec- tional time. The sectionals in which all the area teams are represented by boys competing for the right to advance to the regionals in their particular events, will he held at North Side May 10. During these last two weeks. Coach Walter Bartkiewicz will depend on the boys who have turned in the most consistent jobs up to now. In the sprints he ha Phil Charais. Tom Hueb- er. Mike Flood, and Bill Krouse, Although it looks as if he didn ' t make it, Fred DuBois cleared the bar to set a new school record of 6 feet 2 inches in the high jump. who reeled off the half-mile re- lay just two seconds shy of the school record against South Side. In the 440 Don Wunderlin, hampered earlier in the season by an injury, and Allen Hoffman seem to be ready now. Jim Roussel and John Mauch who have been flirting with the school record in the 880 are also ready and eager. Mike Suelzer, who turned in a spark- ling 4 minute 50 second mile in a winning effort against South Side, will run the mile along Tennis Team Prepared To Display Talents A great favorite among spring sports is tennis. Just as a tennis racket resembles a vio- lin in shape, so also must it be felt and played like one. This is what CC tennis players strive for. Tennis is not just a matter of knocking a soft, bouncy ball back and forth. It calls for a great deal of stamina and agil- ity on the part of the players. Footwork, the angle at which the racket is held, refined mus- cles, and correct posture all must be taken into consideration by a tennis player. Tennis resembles chess in that the opponents ' moves must be predicted, interpreted, and in- tercepted at the precise moment in order to obtain victory. Coach Kohl is still in the process of molding his boys in- to a smooth tennis team. Some of Coach Kohl ' s more promising squad members are Dick Zehner. Bob Hollo, Dan McVey. Bill Kortenber, Juan Medina, and Ken Yarnelle. Tonight the Irish will display their talents against Concordia High School. It will be a home game, and student support will be well appreciated by the ten- nis team. Let ' s make all the work put in by the boys worth it by spurring them on to other victories in the coming games. with Tom LaFontaine. In the field events Fred DuBois com- mands the center of attention on the strength of his record-break- ing 6 feet 2 inches high jump against Huntertown in a win- ning cause. Bill Hoot is an- other record breaker for CC with a 20 feet 6 inches broad jump. In the shot put Jerry .SItko will try to continue to dominate things, and the pole vault and hurdles will be han- dled by Bill Ramp and Henry Reitziig, respectively, both of whom turned in their best per- formances in CC ' s victory over Elmhurst. Although CC ' s track team has posted only two victories to date, the student body can always be proud of their boys as they hold much promise and in victory or defeat have always displayed the principles of good sports- manship. Steve Hensler, who. along with Russ Kumfer. is one of CC ' s consistent par-attackers, shows sparkling form and un- daunted accuracy as he leads our linksters to another victory. poti h By Mark Bartholomy Well, it ' s that time of year again and with the season just 2V2 weeks old everybody ' s mak- ing his predictions as to who ' s going to be this year ' s pennant winners. So as not to be left behind we decided that we also should venture a few guesses. There ' s not too much of a risk in predicting the winner of the American League flag. There are six strong clubs and one tremendous club who will finish something like this: New York, Baltimore. Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland. Los Angeles, and Minnesota, followed in any or- der you wish by Kansas City, Boston, and Washington. The Yanks just have too much over- all power and with added pitch- ing strength it ' s no wonder everyone is following along with them. It ' s a different story in the National League and after much bickering we decided to be brave and predict a Cincinnati flag. However, they will be closely pursued by three others in this order: Los Angeles, St. Louis, and San Francisco. Pittsburgh gets a solid nod for the fifth spot and will be followed by Milwaukee. Chicago, Philadel- phia, and Houston or New York. Cincinnati ' s power seems to be the deciding verdict over the pitching of Los Angeles and St. Louis, and the consistency of San Francisco. A note to you who have been shirking the track meets — So far one record has been broken and several others threatened. The crowds (?) at the meets so far have been disappointing. If we expect to have an excep- tional team this year it is go- ing to take a lot of support from the student body. The team has been doing its best Let ' see what we can do about spurring attendance and cheer- ing the boys on to a successful .reason.

The sun shines down on the remnant patches of cot- tony winter snow and persists in making them vanish from the face of the earth. Animals saunter to the edge of the quiet running streams and drink deeply of the sparkling water therein. Small flowering buds tediously push their heads through the dark, damp, ground which so recently was frozen solid by the icy chains of winter storms. Dogs are running and their distant baying can be heard for miles around. The trees quietly put forth their green crowns of foliage, proclaiming to the world that they are the crowning princes of the plant kingdom. In the distance, the hum of power lawn mowers can be heard and the soft smell of new-mown grass infiltrates the fresh clean air. The farmers in the coun- try begin plowing their fields, turning the dark rich soil to add still another sight to the changing landscape. On every street the squealing, yelling, devil-may-care voices of happy children may be heard a block away. Teenagers feel the urge to get away from it all, to jump off of the train of life for just one day and enjoy the beau- ties of the earth and all of its creation. People go on hikes and all America wants to go on picnics. Men turn toward fishing and baseball, while women plan back-yard socials and maybe a few holes of golf. This is the time of year in which the entire world awakens from a gruelling winter and enters the wondrous joys of spring. P aae Book Review f My Father By John Marks When I was a small tyke of a boy, I thought my dad was the strongest man on earth. But to my amazement, all the other boys on the block felt the same way about their fathers. Many a childhood scuffle was fought among us to see which one had the strongest father. But now that I am older and many years have passed, I have come to realize that my father might not be the strongest person in the world, but he is the greatest to me. w rtc SJide By John Erb Have you ever watched the tide? How it rolls into the shore And rolls back out to sea? The tide is like the people, The shore is like the Church, Tl-ie sea is like the world. The tide rushes in violently to shore in stormy weather But when the storm has ceased and the sea is calm, The tide rolls out just as fast as it came in. TeatA ahef CutU By Mary Todd When I was a little girl, I was quite a crybaby. This used to annoy ray mother to exasperation and eventually she brought about my cure. It seems that my hair was of the curly nature which, so I believed, gave me good cause to be proud. This fact seemed to provide the solution to my prob- lem because my mother informed me that if I cried all my curls would come out. That did it! Everytime I would start to cry, I thought of my mother ' s warning and immediately I would stop. I don ' t actually know when I realized that this was untrue. It must have been when I cried, not heed- ing the warning, and discovered that my curls stayed intact. fiiiiis fAarlae By Christine Alt Humilis Joseph Et dulcis Mater Portant Infantem ad Templum Donari Patri eius, Parere Dei legem, Simeon senex in Templo hoc die, Puero viso, agit gratias Deo Nam nunc videt Salvationem. Simeon dicit, Oculi mei videi-unt Salva- tionem Qui sei-vabit populum a peccatoribus eorum! Et cor tua nocebitur gladiis septem, Sed, Filius tuus interficietur a mails viris Qui despiciunt eum, quod dicet de veritate perpetua et amore Dei. Cor Mariae est grave Nam providet odium hominum Filio eius. Sed voluntatem Dei parebit Semper tenebit in corde hunc diem. Hiroshima John Hersey By Stan Sitko This story is about the effects on the peo- ple and land around Hiroshima after the first atom bomb was dropped on it. The author, John Hersey, tells a fantastic and sometimes gory story of how the people were burnt, cut, and killed. He described how a priest, trying to rescue a woman under a pile of wood, pulled her skin off in glove-like pieces. The entire book tells of events like this. The character portrayal interested me most in the story of Hiroshima. The events J of the main characters ' lives from a few hours before the bomb was dropped until they recovered from the effects of the bomb were told. It tells of a man who had to move some furniture for a friend and because of this he was far enough away from the bomb to sui ' A ' ive. Then it went on to tell how he helped others and himself to live. The saddest incident came when a priest was asked by a woman who had held her dead baby in her arms for four days to find her husband. As he was walking along he heard a cry from behind some bushes and found some soldiers. One of them said that he could not see. His eyeballs had melted and the fiuid had run down his cheeks. This man was none other than the woman ' s husband. Whyl By Sharon Garretson She held him in her tender arms And wondered why Our Lord above Should want to take her little son, The essence of her perfect love. She clasped the dying baby boy. As streams of tears teemed down her face, And gently kissed the tiny child Fondled in this last embrace. 128 il he we Offl, euer Court: Standing- on the stairway, left to right: Sue Cron, Regina DeBender, Barb Schlensker. and Judy Herrmann; on the floor, left to right: Jeanine Loew, Phyl- lis Bail, and Darlene Bojrab.

THE Lincoln Life NATIONAL Bi I ■ INSU RANGE COMPANY Its yamr Indicates Its Character 177 fvhdSaae from the C ditot The scholastic year has come to an end and year end means yearbook. What was once called the ECHO because it echoed our past year is now called the SHAMROCK, and it still ® ' ' ' echoes our past year. The transition from a complete yearbook to one including the school newspaper was not easily understood nor readily accepted by many students, but most will probably now agree this arrangement gives a more complete picture of the B ) school year. Few realize the .many long hours of work that have been put into this first e j new SHAMROCK by its staff members and adviser — meeting deadlines, soliciting ads and patrons, planning and taking pictures, pondering lay- outs. But I do reaUze this, and therefore thank from the bottom of my C 2 i l f — heart my own staff, especially my two right hands, Marcia Lehman ' 11 f Alan Bennett. I am also very grateful to the two newspaper o ) staffs for their 68 pages of this volume. But most of all I thank Editor-in-Chiej...
