February 28, 1958 CARDINAL AND WHITE Page Three 1858 - When February 11 came this year, Chaminade was abuzz with activity. For this year marks the centennial of Our Lady's apparition to Bernadette Soubirous, a 14-year- old sodalist from the small moun- tain village of Lourdes, France. A shrine erected by the sodality stood in the first floor hallway. The day commenced with a High Mass and concluded with a bene- diction and rosary service, with a sermon delivered by Father Heil, For the last several months a campaign to recruit students to go on a pilgrimage to Lourdes has been waged. But these are externals. The real celebration, the one we should engage in, is a closer study of what Lourdes means to us. Mary has come to earth several times in recent years to ask the world to return to prayer and penance. But it was at Lourdes that she took pleasure in calling herself the Immaculate Conception, who is, by the way, the patroness of the United States. So you might say that Lourdes holds a special sig- nificance to us Americans. As teen-agers, it is also consoling that Mary did not choose as her tool an influential adult, the Emperor . Information, Please One of the three large bulletin boards on the main floor has been devoted to Student Council activities and notices. The board displays an- nouncements of special events, such as dances, Pep Club notices of upcoming games, and articles dealing with the current projects of the various clubs--Letterman's Club, Latin Club, Photography Club, etc. Another interesting feature is a sugges- tion box for the benefit of students who have com- ments or criticisms concerning the material on the board or any other aspect of school life. In summary, it is a combination information center and forum: it should serve a valuable pur- pose ln keeping the students informed of the projects and activities of our various extracurric- ulars. Gbur inahg CM lllnurhrs - 195 of France, for example, but a simple 14-year-old girl, mature enough to understand Mary's will and courageous enough to cam- paign for it. We might say that this year marks the end of the first cen- tury of the Age of Mary. If this is so, we are the men destined to lead the world in the second cen- tury. Do we realize the tremen- dous responsibility this holds for us? We, in our own small ways, in whatever fields of endeavor we engage ourselves, must keep alive the idea the filial love for Mary. By this we mean doing our ordin- ary, everyday jobs as we think Christ would have done them, with a sincere, deep-rooted love for Mary as our real mother. We mean adding just a special something to the ordinary merits our deeds de- serve. If we can keep this spirit alive and try to instill it in others, we can feel that we have recognized the commission Mary has given us. Bernadette recognized that com- mission, and is now a saint. We will not in all probability become canonized saints, but just other unsung heroes, what is important, heroes of Mary. DEBATERS ANXIOUS The Debate team, consisting of Jerry Walsh, Bob Leggat, Michael Morris, Jim Klebba, and Bernard Povich, is coached by Brother Joseph Rasky. Brother Rasky has been working very hard with the debaters and he feels that he has a promising team. Already the team has participated in practice meets, taking place at Missouri University, Webster Groves High, De Andreis and St. Mary's. In the opening of the Catholic Interscholastic Speech League, February 15, our debaters won four and lost four, placing sixth in a field of thirteen schools. It has another meet scheduled for March 1. The topic under discussion will be, Resolved: United States Foreign Aid should be substantially increased. If the team is successful in the forth- coming C.I.S.L. meets, they will help to win for Chaminade the All-Speech Trophy. Good luck, debaters, and carry on the good work!

Page Two CARDINAL AND WHITE February 28, 1958 Graceful Living The third annual day of recol- lection for the Alumni was held on the first Saturday of Lent, Feb. 22, and Father Sylvester Jer- gens, the former Provincial Direc- tor, was the moderator. The ceremonies took place in the chapel of the newly reno- vated school building with the ex- pected number of about one-hun- dred present. On the agenda for the day were the Stations of the Cross in the afternoon which was celebrated at Our Lady of the Pillar Church, and a meeting of the alumni under the direction of Mr. Ray Masek. This meeting was held for a two-fold purpose, ll To formulate plans for the celebration of Brother Peter Hill's golden jubilee in the Society of Mary, 23 and for the arranging of the induction of the Seniors to the Alumni. Other plans discussed were for the third annual horse show to be held May 26. The solicitation of ads for the Horse Show will begin soon, and the participation of the whole stu- dent body and especially the sen- iors is expected. The Mothers' Club also sponsored a Day of Recollection which was held at the Cenacle Retreat House on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 19. Father Louis Blume, President of Chamin- ade, will give the instructions. Fashions and Familiar Faces This year, when the Mothers' Club presents its 10th Annual Fashion Show on March 14 and 15, one of the main differences between those of past years, besides the superior presentation and costuming, is that the junior models for the fashion show were selected from girls nomin- ated by the high school student body, and will be escorted by the home- room representatives. The models chosen to represent the various homerooms are listed below, besides the name or the homeroom they will represent and the school they attend: Lynda Langhi, St. Joseph's Academy, IVA: Carol Koke, St. Joseph's Academy, IVBQ Marilyn Weg- man, St. Joseph's Academy, IIIA3 Mary Ann Hackman, Nerinx Hall, IIIBg Mary Ann Sciuto, Villa Duchesne, IIA: Elizabeth Craven, St. Joseph's Academy, IIB, Bonnie Budke, Villa Duchesne, IIC, Sue Nuelle, Villa Duchesne, IAg Nancy Fawcett, St. Joseph's Academy, IBQ and Connie Ramsey, Nerinx Hall, IC. The Student Council officers will also act as escorts for the models. Lloyd Klinedinst, president, will escort Mary Jane Karst, St. Joseph's Academy, Pat Kennedy, vice-president, will escort Patricia Murphy, St. Joseph's Academyg Bill Hamilton, secretary, will act as escort for Mary Reardon, Villa Duchesneg and John Hunter, treasurer, will escort Mary Lou Schmelzle, Villa Duchesne. Dave Cassidy, representing the Pep Club, will act as escort for Mary Rae Stevens of St. Joseph's Academy. Music, Maestro, Please With a blast of horns and the roll of drums the Chaminade Band is preparing for its forth-coming Spring Concert, to be held on Sun- day, March 2, at 8:15 p.m. Always trying to do something special, Mr. Schiebal and the band members have taken up the intricate art of whistling, which gives a rousing send-off to the Colonel Bogey March. For those of you who like the oom-pah of a German band, there will be the very popular Lichtensteiner Polka. Perhaps the most beautiful and unusual song will be Arrangers' Holiday, which is a composition of variations in rhythm of Twink- le, Twinkle. As a special feature the band will play one of the all-time favorites, Deep Purple. Rounding out the concert will be Fiesta Calypso, Miami Beach Rhumba, and a few more. Con- sidering all, this should be another tremendous performance by Mr. Schiebal and the Chaminade Con- cert Band. Plan now to attend.

Page Four CARDINAL AND WHITE February 28, 1958 Seniors Are Studied On March 15, the majority of the seniors will take the College Entrance Board Exams. A few of the seniors took the first half of the tests on January 11, since Notre Dame and M.I.T. require at least the morning tests early in the second semester. The examinations are adminis- tered in morning and afternoon sessions. The Scholastic Aptitude Test, including verbal and mathe- matics sections, is taken in the morning session. The afternoon session is taken up by the Achieve- ment Test, which includes English composition, social studies, mathe- matics, science and foreign lan- guages. These tests will be accepted as entrance examinations by most col- leges. However, Chaminade re- quires that all of the seniors take the test even if they are not plan- ning to attend college. These tests help to determine how much a student has improved during his years at Chaminade. The results of this test may affect the teaching methods at Chaminade for years to come. The Ohio Psychological Test, made up and distributed by the University of Ohio, was taken by the seniors on February 6. The purpose of the test is to give a. measure of the ability of high school students to do well in col- lege. The test given in Missouri is sponsored by Missouri Univer- sity and gives the state an idea of how the high school students throughout the country compare. The test is necessary for any stu- dent applying for a scholarship to Missouri University. The results of this test, plus the pre-college guidance test given at St. Louis University in the junior year and the college board exams, help tell the high school, the students, and their parents what the student's chances in college will be and what courses the student should take up. The Chaminade students have always done very well in past years. Iohn Gutsmiedl prepares Science Fair exhibit.
