STUDENT EXCELS It's not often that an excellent student also excels in some form of athletics. However, it can be done, for Lloyd Klinedinst, a con- sistent honor roll student, has, during the past su1m11er acquired a total of six medals for his pro- ficiency in swimming. Lloyd swims with the Missouri Athletic Club Team, which is rated first in the St. Louis District. He saw action in the Shaw Park meet, the Indianapolis Junior Olympics. the Webster Groves Tournament and the Chain of Rocks A.A.U. Lloyd was awarded Iirst place in the 80 yd. backstroke and the 160 yd. free-style relay in the A.A.U. meet. In the Indianapolis J11nior Olym- pics he secured a sixth place in the backstroke and a third place in the individual medley relay.

Lllllllll In midsummer the alumni exec- utive board met to tally the Horse Show proceeds and to evaluate the past year of reorganization. Finan- cially, the Horse Show netted some 51500. But the experience gained, the camaraderie enjoyed, the sug- gestions for future improvements- all this paid dividends that can- not be measured. Mr. Ray Masek and his stalwart committee deserve a royal toast from all at Chami- nade. Plans for this year envision a more successful alumni. A commit- tee of class representatives will be set up, who will act as captains in enlisting the co-operation of their respective classes. A day of recollection will be held on the tirst Saturday in Lent and the 2nd Annual Horse Show will climax the year's program. The alumni will man the dart- throwing booth at the Fathers' Carnival. Its first general meeting will be held in early November. Seniors will be inducted at the February meeting. Best of luck to Chaminade's big brothers. Lloyd Klinedinst 5124!

Hellrunq, P. Murphy, M. Tuethg B. Sommers, R. Danna, B. McCormick Congratulations! A distinct honor came to Chami- nade last .Iu11e when Bro. Frank Klapp was nominated to the Ex- ecutive Committee of the National Council of English Teachers of Greater St. Louis. This is an ex- clusive organization devoted to the direction and management of bet- ter English teaching throughout the Metropolitan St. Louis area. Chaminade is proud of this singu- lar honor which has come to the school through Bro. Frank. During the third week in Aug- ust, Bro. Frank also had the pleas- ure of attending the Shakespeare Festival at Antioch University in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The plays were presented on an outdoor stage. a replica of Shakespeare's own Globe Theater. George Volk Fellowship Awarded Striving to extend his consider- able scientific knowledge, Chami- nade's Bro. Eugene Meyer this summer attended the sixth annual Carnegie Institute of Technology Summer Science Teachers' Pro- gram. Bro. Meyer was one of eighteen of the nation's best secondary school science teachers selected to attend this program of study, which has as its aim to stress the im- portance of fundamental concepts of chemistry and physics and to show the power of these fundamen- tals. The six weeks' program was made possible by fellowships given by the Westinghouse Educational Foundation. Barry McCormick Assembly Successful It is customary at Chaminade to present an assembly each year for the express purpose of explaining the extracurricular activities to the underclasmen, for it is these men who will strive to improve the activities and to enhance the ex- cellent reputations possessed by each. On Friday, Sept. 22, this custom again became a reality. The assem- bly commenced with a prayer, com- pliments of Father Langlinais, and was followed by a short speech by Dave Dempsey, student council president, who moderated the as- sembly. The four student council officers took their oath of offce and the representatives from the re- spective homerooms were intro- duced and each given a card ac- knowledging the honor bestowed upon them. The speeches on the extracurri- cular activities followed and it is unanimously agreed that they were among the best, if not the best. ever delivered on the subject of extracurriculars at Chaininade. Credit for the excellent assem- bly goes to Bro. Joe Barrett, mod- erator or the Student Council, and the members of that fine organiza- tion, who arranged the entire as- sembly, and then proceeded to car- ry it out without a difficulty.

Chaminade, in keeping with this family spirit, is proud to an- nounce that three of its family have taken steps which will lead to a life dedicated to God. Sylvester Burkemper, '56 gradu- ate, entered the Marianist noviti- ate at Galesville, Wisconsin.

Paul Donoghue. cx former student of Chcxmincxde, made his First Vows at Galesville, Wisconsin. Sept. 8. Bro. Pcxul will continue his studies at Mcryhurst in Kirkwood. Sodality Notes Another .school year is beginning, and with it comes the usual flurry of egrcitement as the e.rtracurricu- lar activities reorganize. The so- tlality. as the most important activ- ity in the school, is no erception. The sodality, by definition, is a group of the faithful striring to attain the life of grace more fully in school, home. and community. Membership is open to all,' how- eirer, only those who can line up to its rigid standards are allowed to become a full-fledged member. At Chaminade there are four different stages in becoming a so- dalist. The freshmen, under the guidance of Bro. Harold Lootens, are called postulants, as they are asking to he received into the so- dality. The sophomores. with Bro. James McCaffrey as moderator, are referred to as aspirants, as they have fulfilled the minimum require- ments of the organization. Under the leadership of Bro. Joe Yasho the juniors, probationers, are eager- ly awaiting their final step as sen- ior sodalists. The seniors, already full-fledged sodalists. will again be under the direction of Bro. Frank Klapp. To date, each sodality division has had its initial meeting and dis- cussed the year's projects. It is Oltl' sincere wish that the Sodalists have a successful year under the banner, Maria Duce! Michael Tueth 700 IKE If it were up to the Chaminade students to elect the President of the United States in November, Dwight D. Eisenhower would be a walk-in. Apparently the quick-wit- ted, smooth speaking Adlai has not touched the hearts of the Chami- nade students, for he was able to muster only 120 votes from the possible 393. Besides marking their x behind Eisenhower's name, many took the time to write the 'LI Like Ike party cry on the bal- lot. No matter how it goes in No- vember, the Chaminade students have made their choice: Eisen- hower.
