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 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

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. The following compositions are from Sister Irma Agnes ' English IV class. Sister Bernardo ' s English II class, and Sister Mary Loretta ' s Creative Expression class. 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
