Page Two CARDINAL AND WHITE December 20, 1957 CONCERT BAND DEBUT Congratulations to the Chaminade Concert Band for their fine performance at the annual Winter Concert, December 8. The band, under the direction of Mr. Kenneth C. Schiebal, worked diligently to make the concert one of the best ever presented. With a wide variety of selections played, the band played everything from A Tribute to Glenn Miller to the Dixieland arrangement of High Society. The gym was filled to overflowing with parents, alumni and members of the faculty. The band gave us truly a night to recall again and again. Retreat Review From Nov. 25 to Nov. 27, Chaminade students observed their annual retreat. The retreat this year was conducted by Father Michael Dorsey, S.M., from San Antonio, Texas. These were days of grace for the men of Chaminade, which will give Satan a hard time in the future. Father Dorsey commented that a good retreat is measured by the number of confessions heard, and if this is true, the Chaminade retreat was truly outstanding. With an increase of grace and the silence that was predominant during the retreat, the boys were encouraged to give serious thought to their voca- tion. Only time will tell what benefits we have received from the retreat. To Father Dorsey we give many thanks and we cordially invite him, with God's blessing, to return soon to Chaminade. -T wimsn coucnrrr End Of Speech Season The 1957 CISL speech season came to an end Saturday, December 7, with the third and last meet held at St. Louis University. Due to some bad breaks, Bob Hellrung was the only representative in the finals of the meet. He placed second after a long, hard trail to success. With the end of the speech season, we feel that our team has been a credit to our school. Congrats to all who participated in the Speech Club this year. A special commendation to Bob Hellrung, who received first place for the year in Non-Original Oratory, and the Oratory Team, who won a third place trophy. T Z on uenfion mmf uer The much talked about sodality convention has been talked about even more since its completion on December 1. Sodalists and moderators from all over the country have admitted that it was the finest convention held yet. Much of the credit for its success is due to Father Willis Langlinais, the driving force behind the entire operation, and to the various sodality moderators, Brother Klapp, Brother Yasho, Brother Nance, Brother O'Connor, Brother Lootens and Brother Rasky. And, of course, many thanks are due to all of the Cham- inade sodalists who acted the parts of hosts with admirable geniality. W Opening of Murionlst Sodaliiy Convention

Qi' I Q CHAMINADE COLLEGE g X A CLAYTON, MISSOURI J L Q 99 4Vmu CHAMINADE COLLEGE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1957 Number 4 HHHISIMHS IMPHIHHNI HIHH When the highlights of this year are recounted, as they inevitably are at the end of every year, undoubtedly everyone will agree that the major event was the launching of the space satellites into the unknown void that holds the promise of future challenge to our generation. With Sputnik and Muttnik already soaring through our wintry skies, we raise our eyes to new horizons and speculate upon the future and its many problems and promises. What will our children's lives be like? How will their lives be changed? Well, one thing that we hope-and we are rather sure-will never be changed is the holiday soon approaching, the glorious feast of Christmas. Of all the Church's feasts, and the civil holidays, Christmas is without a doubt the most anxiously awaited and most fondly remembered. Christmas throughout the world will always remain, but how will it remain? Will it always have its religious significance. or will it be drowned in the flood- tide of pagan materialism that is engulfing many of the other traditions we once held dear. Examine your own Christmas this year for the answer. Will the glitter of the trees and gifts overwhelm the quiet glow of the crib? Will the Christmas parties be the highlight of the holiday season and not the Christmas Mass? Let's be honest about our answers, and if the outlook isn't so good, let's do something about it. This is the year of experiment. Mankind has struck out a new course of exploration. Whatever man leaves behind, may it never be this spirit of Christmas. We cannot look upon this with dis- interest, for we are the generation that has been epoch. Whatever changes come about, whatever traditions fall by the wayside, this idea of a holy Christmas must remain. Perhaps this year's holi- day will be the acid test of what is to come. Let handed the task of carrying the world into this new Mothers Deck the Halls ln the spirit of the holiday season. several Chaminade families held open house on December 3 as part of the Mothers' Club Holiday House Tour. The tour was conducted through fourteen homes in and about the Chaminade area. These homes were especially decorated for the Christmas sea- son. During the tour there was a bake sale, the sale of advent wreaths, and the selling of hand- made gifts. The proceeds of the tour are to be used for the Chaminade Chapel Fund. We would like to give thanks to Mrs. Kerber, Mrs. Ossenfort, us do our part to keep this kind of Christmas alive. and Mrs. Murphy, who headed the committee which was very instrumental in planning and executing the tour. We also wish to thank all those who so generously contributed gifts to the different sales: Mr. and Mrs. Fred Varney, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard McMahon. Mrs. Gertrude F. Boerger, Mr. and Mrs. William F. James, Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Krewet, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Cecil P. Arnold, Mr. and Mrs. Frank C. Blu- meyer, Sr.. Mr. and Mrs. Fred P. Rapp, Mr. and Mrs. Gene L. Vescovo, Mr. and Mrs. Paul E. Winter, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Buschman, Mr. and Mrs. Percy Tucker, and Mr. and Mrs. John P. Ossenfort.

Chaminade cheerleading has been dramatically re-styled this year by the addition of a feminine touch. The jPep Club has organized the junior and senior classes into vot- ing on our school's cheering sys- tem. The vote cast favored girls, and so now there will be new, and prettier, faces pushing our varsity team. The combination will be three Chaminade seniors and two ffemalej St. Joseph Academy sen- iors. The next time you attend a var- sity game, the cheerleader lineup facing you will consist of Chami- nade's Ted Jacoby, Charlie Stock, and Lloyd Klinedinstg and St. Joe's Pat Murphy and Sharon Brown. In the B team, too, new cheers and cheerleaders have been added. Leading the B team will be sopho- mores Mike McCarthy and Don Alvarez, and freshmen Tom Wey- forth and Denny Maginn. Chaminade can now exert full steam, backing up top teams, with top cheering. It's up to us, the spectators, not to let our teams and our cheerleaders down.
