The first project of the week was a pep rally held in the gym on Monday. On Tuesday there was a rally outside the gym at which the Fresh- men and Sophomores sent up some cheers that could be heard at Mar- quette High. Wednesday was the day for the big rally. At the end of the school day, the student body assembled in the bleachers at the football field and the Flyers ran off some plays. There was a speech given by Brother Ray Davenport. After all of this it was easy to see why the re-juvenated Flyers put on such a splendid show for the Home- coming crowd, playing their best game of the season. devoted to William Ossenfort Guy Thiel Freshmen: William Wefel Patrick Dailey Honors Gregory Hieman Thomas Hovland Robert Leggat Eric Leonhart David Ohlms Michael Shanghnessy Louis Speckart John Virant Thomas Willey Robert Bisch David Donahue James Epstein Thomas Murowski Anson Murphy Michael Rafter Joseph Steger Sth Grade High Honors William Lowdermann Jacques Mistrat Mark Potts Robert Brown Joseph Conran Alexander De la Manuel Guzman Donald Kuntz Garza William Mahoney 7th Grade High Honors Kim Dalton Charles Fischer Pat Forestall Peter Krewet Albert Litzau Denny Mulchay Ed Quilman Russell Smith Dennis Walters Honors Jack Baumstark Paul Eberle 1Continued on Page 7, Col. 21

Page Two CARDINAL AND WHITE November, 1957 Reading Becomes A Course Comprehension and Speed Speech Season Opens Early The Fulton Sheen Speech Club was shot into action recently because of the new policy of the Interscholastic Speech League which has arranged all of this year's meets to be held early in the year. As of this writing, the speech team has already participated in two contests and has emerged from both quite successfully. In the first meet, held on October 26, the day of our Homecoming, at Mercy High School, the results were two first places in Non-Original and Original Oratory won by Bob Hellrung and Mike Tueth respectively and a finalist's ribbon in Radio for On October 15, a reading course was begun at Chaminade. The main objective of the course is the improvement of the reading capabilities of a student, such as comprehension and reading speed. This objective is reached through the use of machines helping the student improve himself. These machines include aids with very long names and a large job to do. Classes are held twice a week, for seven weeks and last for one hour and forty-five minutes. These sessions are conducted by Mrs. Mildred Jasper of Sherwood Day School. Thirty-eight students are participating in the course. Because of the great demand for this type of reading instruction another class is being con- sidered. All students who take the course find it an excellent aid to study and better reading. Joe Ellebrecht. The second contest was held at Fontbonne College, resulting in third and fourth place ribbons given to Bill Hamilton and Mike Tueth. The third and final meet of the season is scheduled to be held at St. Louis University in early December, Soon afterwards, the final awards for the speech season will be announced, and Cham- inade has its eye on several of them. Here's hop- ing that the best men-and that means Chaminade- win. NOTA BENE A quiet extra-curricular in the activities at Chaminade is the Latin Club, which for years re- mained unnoticed by many of the students. It is affiliated with the Junior Classical League and the members have learned much about the times of the Greeks and Romans by informal discus- sions. Elections were held at the sec- ond meeting and the officers elect- ed are: Charles Maeder, presidentg William Hamilton, vice-presidentg Michael Tueth, secretary, and Lloyd Klinedinst, treasurer. Among the accomplishments of the club is the revision of the old constitution along with other advancements to benefit the club in all ways possible. Connected with these accomplishments is the all-important banquet which the club has already started planning. The Latin Club, then, has promise of a most eventful year, and it looks forward with a great hope of success. WINTER CONCERT DATE SET This year's band, under the direction of Mr. Kenneth Scheibel, is in full swing preparing for their first concert during the Christmas season. Because of the interruption of the Thanksgiving holidays, the concert has been moved back a week from December 1 to December 8, 1957. A wide variety of music has been prepared for this concert, ranging from Farrell's 'Calypso Joint' to 'Overture Eroical' by Beethoven, once again showing the versatility of the band. Supported by the return of almost all the first-chair men, the band shows great promise and guarantees an excellent performance. Turkey Shoot New Venture At the first meeting of the year the Alumni adopted plans for a turkey shoot, to be held in Novem- ber. This means very simply that a ticket is purchased for 50c, and 25 such tickets comprise one card of turkey chances. This card is then placed ttackedl to a tree and shot at. The name that has a hole shot through it wins a turkey. The turkey shoot will take place November 16. Cards are available through any alumnus. At this same meeting the alumni wrote out a check for its first scholarship student, Terrence Wenger, of the Freshman A class, currently a freshman at Chami- nade. Plans were also set for the first general alumni meeting, which was held in the Chaminade cafe- teria, November 7. Mr. Morty Blake and other members of the Saint Louis Hawks were the alumni's guests at this meeting. There was an exceptionally good turnout.

Page Four CARDINAL AND WHITE November, 1957 SPIRIT HIGH AT HOMECOMING' Customarily the Junior class has aided the Homecoming festivities by their presentation of a bonfire and a social get-together on the eve of the big game. This year, however, it is interesting to note that the Juniors built a log cabin which re- sembled that of Father Marquette's, and set it on fire. As school spirit grew stronger, it was very appropriate when the seniors put on a skit show- ing the spirits of Father Chaminade and Father Marquette vieing with each other for the winning of the game. After a short social mixer in the nicely decorated gymnasium, everyone prepared themselves for the big day. Homecoming Day was marked especially by the color and splendor of the annual parade, in which all of the homerooms participated. The Senior A's Winning Float The Motorcycle Brigade The Parade in Progress UN IOR DANCE One of the major projects of the junior class is the annual Football Dance, officially ending the football season and beginning the social calendar at Chaminade. This year the junior class is to be congratulated on the spectacular success they made of this first social event. The gym, although all the work on it had to be done in one night, was gaily decorated, complete with a shower of balloons which fell in the course of the evening. The highlight of the dance was the crowning PEP RALLY BONFIRE MIXER winner of the first place trophy in the float con- test was Senior A's production of Let The Heads Roll. On the float was portrayed a guillotine and representations of Marquette players as victims. Both the theme and the actual structure made Sen- ior A's float the most impressive of all the float entries. In the Car Decoration Contest, Frank Krew- et took first place with his gaily decorated Corvette. The Sophomores are to be congratulated for their fine work of decorating the campus, Like- wise, the Freshmen did a nice job of decorating the field. As one can easily see, the participation of the Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen as a whole, and every individual helped to make this year's Homecoming one of the most successful in the recent years. . . ..- GALA AFFAIR of this year's Football Queen Joanne Durbin of St. Joseph's Academy, by Charlie Stock, captain of the football team. The Special Maid of Honor was Pat Murphy, also of St. Joseph's Academy, whose escort for the evening was Pat Kennedy. The other Special Maid of Honor, Judy Clarkson, of Villa Duchesne, was unable to attend because of illness, Thanks to the Juniors for a delightful evening and a very enjoyable danceg we know that every other one this year will be just as successful. rl' r r' r' :J I 1'1 EDITOR ....
