September 28, 1962 SHAMROCK Commerce Department Industry Seeks Business Courses Prove Popular Male stenos CC ' s Commerce Department offers a number of varied business classes including typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, clerical records, and business law. 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
