969 Clarion Volume 8 Divine Child High 1001 N. Silvery Lane Dearborn, Michigan 48128 Touch Reaches Out To Beauty Everyday Divine Child 1969. To some people Divine Child is an architectural feat of brick and stone, a labyrinth of halls and classrooms. To them it is simply the one story structure making the interection of Silvery Lane and Wilson, the building that can be vaguely seen through the trees of Levagood Park. But to other people Divine Child is something more. It is the acrid smell of a chemistry experiment, the sharp clang of a slammed locker, the dry scratch of a Bic Pen on a final exam, the billowing wave of shine on freshly buffed Poors. It is the thick smell of chalk dust, the Pickering rePection of early morning sunlight off the trophy case, the sharp contrast of white chalk on a black board. To these people the school is a veritable collage of smells and sounds and impressions that last long after the original sight has faded. Two views of D.C. . . . two opposing D.C. forces at work. . . . two types of D.C. people . . . THOSE WHO SEE: THOSE WHO TOUCH. To Sense and To Share The Moods of Others Is Really To Touch Life Divine Child students . . . Some never stop to think about their fellow students. They think of them only in terms of the mob of students that spills in from Silvery Lane every morning to fill the classroom seats in front and behind them. These people are so involved in their own meager cluster of friends that they never bother to think about anyone else. To the rest, however, classmates are more important. They see them as real people, each important in himself, people who laugh and shout and feel and touch and live every single moment as if it were the most special moment in the entire history of the world. They see other people this way because this is how they, themselves, are. These people aren’t necessarily the class leaders or joiners, they are simply the people who know what it is to feel for and with other people. These people live life more fully than THOSE WHO SEE. They are THOSE WHO TOUCH. 4 5 Swift Impressions Trace Lively Story Of One Special Year 1969. To some people the year 1969 meant nothing more than a mountainous jumble of used demerit stubs, compulsory science projects, and unfinished math assignments a year in which they only paid time towards the distant object of much agony and labor, the almighty diploma. But to other people it was a year begun by meeting old friends in the book store line, a year that was lived with its ups and downs, with its glorious Charity Bowl victory and its heartbreaking basketball defeat in the closing seconds of the state regional game. It was a year to wallow in Kleenex pompoms and “Apple Ballogs.” a year to laugh at crazy pums in the cafeteria, to dance or sing or cheer wildly at the first annual talent show. It was a year that is marked for each person by his own special memories, whether they are of ceramics class, or “Once Upon a Mattress, or anything at all. But the kind of year a person has, whether it will be indistinguishable from all the rest or one that will be remembered for all its little shiny moments, depends on whether a person is one of THOSE WHO SEE or THOSE WHO TOUCH. Contents Academics............................. 8 Student Life......................... 32 Sports................................46 Underclassmen ....................... 62 Organizations ....................... 82 Seniors .............................100 7 Education is a kind of two-sided coin for Divine Child students. Take a look at one side and the whole thing’s kind of a bore. Indecipherable biology notes, incomprehensible math assignments and unmanageable French verbs just keep trudging on from September to June. From this angle the 75,000 hours of doodling and vigilant clock watching are interspersed occasionally bv a surprise quiz. Flip the coin and the whole scene changes. Suddenly school is in living color. On this side staunch Crusaders pledge undying loyalty to God and their Pope. Here Dante descends to the fiery depths of Hell and Portia makes a desperate plea for mercy. Young Caesar brilliantly leads his troops through the Gaelic wars and Faust learns the true values of life. This is where euglena battle for their lives on laboratory slides and onion ceils divide before a student's very eyes. Here triangles become almost a whole world in themselves, full of an unbelievable amount of properties. This is the side of the coin where every single day can mean something. From which side of the coin do you see education? It all depends on whether you’re one of THOSE WHO SEE or one of THOSE WHO TOUCH. 8 (ABOVE) Monsignor Weier, as one of his official functions, intones the blessing of the rings.

(ABOVE RIGHT) Father Zerafa pauses fora moment's reflection at the junior-senior prom. Spirited Administration Animate Student Body Enthusiasm, dedication, and high quality leadership mark Divine Child’s hard-working administration. Monsignor Herbert Weier has built Divine Child from a stubbly field in the Northwest corner of Dearborn into the complex it is today. His humorous stories of his travels as an athlete and as a young priest have always been his trademark as has been his readiness to answer any and all student questions. Who comes to mind when someone says, “God love and bless you”? Sr. Gerald, of course. Sister’s strongest trait is her pride in the Divine Child student body as a group and as individuals. Her interest in each and every class and organization of the school testifies to her unending drive to make Divine Child “number one.” In his three years as athletic director. Father Cusmano has seen his football teams win two city Championships. He has organized girls’ basketball and baseball teams and seen some fine playing by the boys’ baseball and track teams as well. As if this weren’t enough he also assumed the role of senior Religion teacher this year. Father Zerafa, known for his gentle demeanor and quiet ways is nevertheless an A-1 worker. Father’s goal is to help each student come to a full realization of the power and beauty of the liturgy. Working together, day by day, week by week, with the student body. Divine Child’s administration forms an unbeatable combination of energy, capability, and perseverance. 11 Student-Teacher Interaction Reflects Past Of D. C. 's Teachers Ask some students what they think of the state of teacher-student relationship at Divine Child and they might describe it as a kind of semi-peaceful co-existence. But really, it works out to be a little more than that. Even if most teachers vow that they won’t smile until Christmas, they invariably do. And students, even if they don’t really want to, smile back. It can’t be helped. Teachers are, after all, inclined to get rather involved with the students. Besides the 1,260 hours a year they spend just in class, they attend football games, chaperone dances, and organize clubs. Besides writing lessons plans, correcting tests, planning bulletin boards, and keeping homeroom records, they’re usually rather willing to give someone a little extra after school help if he needs it. What lies beneath these people who often hide behind demerit pads and surprise quizzes? Perhaps, it is only the memory of what it is like to be on the other side of the desk. 12 (ABOVE FAR LEFT) Mr. Birchmeier.

It’s the binding that joins the hopelessly lost freshman to the exiting senior, the peppy cheerleader to the shy student in the library. Religion interprets the abstract into everyday realities. Group discussions, movies, and weekly folk masses bring theological ideas into focus as students delve deeply into their faith’s mysteries. They are means by which students acquire a profound sense of responsibility and a better understanding of themselves and their religion. Armed with these principles and a little determination, students emerge from religion classes fully prepared to spread the Word. We’ll work with each other, we’ll work side by side; we’ll guard each man’s dignity, save each man’s pride. They’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love.” 15 Pageant of Literature Marches on at DC A stammering Billy Budd stands accused of murder and once again the ghost of Banquo stalks the halls of Elsinore Castle—proof to sometimes doubting students that English is as immediate as last night’s episode of the “Mod Squad.” Mr. Mikonczyk’s freshmen strive for a firm control of grammer basics as they sample world literature from Shakespeare to Saki. Sophomores readily digest such American classics as the Scarlet Letter and have their first encounter with poetry in the form of Frost and Sandburg. Wimpole Street becomes as familiar as Silvery Lane to juniors, when they plunge into the world of English Lit and even try their hand at composing their own poetry in the tradition of Wordsworth and Tennyson. While wading through vocabulary lists, spelling sheets and grammar rules, seniors manage to submit oral compositions and term papers almost on schedule. Really serious English buffs juggle their schedules to make room for journalism, composition or speech, three more refineries leading to the goal of all English students-to be able to express themselves with skill and perhaps more importantly, with sensitivity.

ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN 1969 16 Real, Imaginary Numbers Launch Assault On Junior Euclids Whether a math student “crosses the magic bridge” with Mr. Hebestreit, listens to the “all right . . . O.K.?” lectures of Sr. Stanislaus Helene, or “moves along” with Mr. Kusza, he is capable of finding more to math than dreary integral factors and colorless exponential systems. While Math I, 11, and 111 students delve into “real” representations of numbers and figures, Math IV scholars ponder “imaginary” numbers. Practical-minded juniors and seniors add bookkeeping or drafting to their schedules and find another example of these agonizing numbers at work. Viewing the outside world from inside the complex mathematics cosmos, a D.C. amateur mathematician can see that all the struggles and headaches that math breeds really entwine into one practical application—use. On the streets, in the business life, in the home and research labs, math is perpetually in use. (FAR LEFT) Dave Kurilik listens dutifully to Mike Hager’s animated explanation of the sphere.

Future scientists are hard at work. Sludge tests and lab reports may drive freshmen close to insanity in IPS, but they’re actually learning valuable lab techniques for the years ahead. Microscopes open a whole new dimension for biology students. Pond water from Gulley Woods teams with euglena, hydra and paramecia and even onion cells take on new perspectives when magnified. Sugar becomes a hieroglyphic formula for chemistry students as they discover atomic weight charts and molar addition. Physics class as piped in daily from Eastern Michigan University provides seniors with plenty of scalar problems with which to spend their Friday nights. Science is far from an easy course. It combines the necessity of memorization from social studies with the strong need for quick comprehension from math. Whether a student pursues the study of science after high school or not he has learned the important lesson of logical application of facts. 20 fyliik, ii ? f Ffm amml mm (ABOVE FAR RIGHT) Mr. Wickert waits his turn while Biology student Cathy Skelly watches onion cells reproduce with the aid of the stereo microscope.

Language Offers Ticket to World Cruise A stroll through the Black Forest, a front row seat at the Colosseum, or dinner with the Thibaut family are all common day occurences for language students. In room 112 Sr. Charlotte’s Latin scholars often travel back in time where they may be present as a grieving Paris stands beneath the flaming walls of Troy or a mad Cassius towers above the body of Caesar. Travel films draw France right into 109 and 112 where French students learn the customs of France as they struggle with difficult pronunciations and undecipherable idioms. D.C.’s first French IV class added the study of French culture. Switzerland and Austria as well as Germany are the realm of Miss Kelly’s German classes. German history and customs provide a welcome break from the tedium of noun endings. German IV students find mingled suspense and romance in Goethe’s “Faust’.” In any language, the study of conjugations provides excellent practice for mental gymnast as he juggles indicative and subjunctive moods while keeping his tenses straight. The emphasis of custom and culture results in a deeper appreciation of other nations and peoples. At any rate, any language is a completely unique experience to a novice linguist.

(BOTTOM LEFT) Ed Muir hits the books again in one final attempt to understand the workings of American economics. 24 Classes Pound Out Rhythm of Society What we’ve done in the past, what we’re doing now and what we hope to do in the future can all be learned through Social Studies classes. Ramses, Henry VIII, and Bismarck arc only a few of the historical figures World History students meet on the trail from Neanderthal man’s cave to the U.N. building. Many students find American History to be one long intriguing progress report. Government classes base their studies on today’s application of the Constitution with the added interest this year of the presidential elections. Economics classes provide students with explanations of the constant fluctuations of monetary values. The Social Studies department’s newest divisions, psychology and Foreign Relations, offer special attractions for juniors and seniors. Freud and Pavlov arc familiar names to psychology students who study the mental complexities of people- the makers of history. International politics is the theme of Foreign Relations classes where students analyze problems and present their solutions. All in all, Social Studies classes teach respect for yesterday, commitment for today, and hope for tomorrow. Its’ students are the children of yesterday, the hope of today, and the parents of tomorrow. 25 (ABOVE) With palette and brush in hand.

Most first year art students admit that they take it because it’s required. Mr. Foye arms them with little more than a sketch pad and pencil and their first sketches are best described as primitive. However, by the time a student has mastered charcoal sketches in advanced art or modeled his first African face-mask in ceramics, he has discovered a valuable outlet for creative energy and a unique form of self-expression as well. Band isn’t required by school authorities but a number of students admit to a gentle push from a parent. Besides the rewarding experience of mastering an instrument or the fun of wearing one of the new uniforms, Mr. Tallieu’s students discover the satisfaction of becoming a vital part of a functioning group as well as receiving the added reward of a cultural experience. Students entering Glee Club find that it’s more than a scale-climbing sodality. Members participate in choral competition with other schools and meet students from around the city. They visit charitable institutions and attend musical programs. Like good old Chris Columbus, many Fine Arts students aren’t sure of their destination when they start but discover more than they dreamed they could before they finish. 27 (RIGHT) Judy Piotrowski.

With two new stoves, twice as many interesting if not always pleasant aromas invade nearby study hall as the girls advance from half-burned, half-baked brownies to a full course dinner. On the other side of the room the steady whirs of the sewing machines, including two brand new “touch and sews” signal the stitch by stitch advancement of clothing classes. Timed tests are both the curse and blessing of Commercial students. Sr. Danielette’s and Sr. Margaret Mary’s shorthand and typing students daily rush to beat the buzz of the alarming alarm clock and increase speed and accuracy as they do. As every mother claims that her “work is never done,” so too do the future homemakers and secretaries of D.C. as they drearily rip out imperfect seams or wearily reset their good old Royal for the eighth time. It’s all towards a worthy end, though, as the girls will discover in the years ahead. (ABOVE) Jackie Van Bussel repairs her uniform sweater rest in clothing class.

Busy Service Staff Labors Undercover Everyone knows that there is a practical as well as an abstract side to a school and Divine Child’s industrious service staff sees to this aspect. The guidance staff of Sr. Margaret Mary and Mr. George LaForest process college applications for seniors and untangle underclassmen schedules. Librarian Sr. Annuncia neatly manages to keep her books in order and to guide student use of the new and very popular copying machine. Back in the office, secretaries Mrs. Stevens and Mrs. Pukey faithfully keep up tabulations on tuition payments and manage the typing of all school correspondence. Mrs. Donaldson, her faithful crew, and two new deep freezers are responsible for the daily hot lunches in the cafeteria. Mr. Bowers and his hard sweeping band of assistants keep the floors clean, and desks straightened and the whole school generally well-groomed. 30 Student life, as far as some students are concerned, is almost non-existent. To them all social life exists after three o'clock. They see school only as a rather dull way to pass the time between weekends. But to other students school is practically a complete social experience in itself. These are the people to whom school means the warm smell of the cafeteria on pizza day or the slush of the melted parking lot snow under their boots on a February morning. To these people it means the velvety softness of a Homecoming dress or the dying strains of the very last dance at the Prom. To these people it is the wry grin of a friend cracking a bad joke during lunch or the sharp tingling in their fingers after a tough defeat in a game of ,knuckles. It is the plink of a penny pitched off the study hall wall or the agonizing Let's take it from the top!” of Miss Paquet during play practice. These are the students who can make something special out of practically every day just by the very action of living it. What makes the difference between these two types of students? It is the same thing that always makes the difference between THOSE WHO SEE and THOSE WHO TOUCH. I 1 How can you classify playwrights, folk singers, scholars and pinochle players into one group? Just file them neatly under National Honor Society. The members of Divine Child’s National Honor Society readily show their ability to ham it up on their visits to Marycrest Manor, a home for the aged. There they sing folk songs, produce and act plays like their musical adaption of the “Wizard of Oz,” play pinochle with the residents and even do a little dancing on the side. At special times of the year special presents are brought along like this year’s original if not actually artistic Christmas stockings. All forty were painstakingly and gluefully sewn, sequined, and delivered by holiday-minded members. Marycrest Manor isn’t the only recipient of the N.H.S.’s time, affection, and attention. The group also sponsors the collection of Thanksgiving baskets for the members of St. Patrick’s parish in the inner-city. The N.H.S. isn’t an easy organization to join. Members must be picked by the faculty on the basis of individual scholarship, leadership, character, and service in school. In a way it’s the club for people not afraid to go “above and beyond the call of duty.” 34 (FAR LEFT) New members Kathy Sleziak and Diane Mattis decorate Christmas stockings for the people of Mary'crest Manor.

Rita Jarema began the trend of renewal by just announcing her intention to be the first female candidate for president. Then, when she won in one of the closest Council races ever, it was apparent that the Sudent Council would never be quite the same again. In a change of basic Council format, candidates ran at an “at large” rather than a homeroom basis; thereby shrinking the number of members by placing quality before quantity. Comfortably settled in the new Student Council room, members daily emerge to courageously man the dangerous central intersection and insure a smooth and sure flow of traffic. They plan special service projects such as the adoption of St. Anne’s Indian school in North Dakota, a project which they financed with the Scrooge Contest and the showing of “The Raven.” Working, day by day, the Council is laying a sturdy foundation for Councils to come. (ABOVE LEFT) Officers plan the next service project. (ABOVE) Stockings prepared by the council members brighten up the faculty Christmas party.

(ABOVE) The dancers drift along to the music of the Rumors. King Arthur himself probably never had a court as grand as the ’68 Homecoming court. With “Camelot” as the theme, the gym donned the appearance of a castle ballroom, complete with high pillars and colorful banners. Chivalrous knights and their ladies danced to the music of the “Rumors” throughout the evening. At 9:30 p.m. when the royal court and their escorts marched up to the throne, Kathy Speer was crowned queen. The members of the court consisted of Susan Dean, Cindy Kerr, Debi Subject, Marcia Cach, Susan Sike, Linda Butler, Denise Passeri, Kathy Clarke, Cathy Gaydos, Lynn Johnston, Marilyn Peltier, and Judy Piotrowski. Early Sunday afternoon a parade of cheerleaders, floats, the court, queen and very enthusiastic fans left D.C. and headed for Edsel Ford and half time festivities. The winning float was the junior’s castle of Camelot which proudly displayed the theme “Ye Shant Conquer” and Bishop Gallagher, our homecoming opponents, didn’t. In short there was simply not, a more convenient spot for happier times than those we had in Camelot. 38 (ABOVE) Coach Tony Versaci presents Gary Danielson with his Gold Shoe award.

No, here at D.C. that statement is far from being correct. There are those who aren’t satisfied with average work or with leaving school right at 2:45. There are those whose only goal is perfection, who keep striving for something better in themselves and from themselves. Whether it be scholastically, athletically or socially, some D.C. student has received an award in one of these areas. When one thinks of college scholarships, it brings to mind Sue Rivard who is now a finalist in the N.M.S.Q.T. Junior Paul Drotos received first place in his district in the American Legion Oratorical Contest and Anne Schmitt demonstrated her domestic talents by taking first place in the Betty Crocker Homemaker Contest. Service and leadership were the deciding factors in the Elk’s Most Valuable Student Contest, won by senior Karen Tracz, the Youth Leadership Contest won by Rosemary Wojciechowski, and the Soroptimist Youth Citizenship Award in which Barb Williams became first runner-up. In the field of athletics, Gary Danielson merited all-city, all-state, and all-American honors. While these individuals received public recognition, any student who worked to his capacity is worthy of an award.

Bali H’ai Beckons to Amateur Thespians With the terrified stutterings of close to two hundred Thespian hopefuls and the resounding sound of Miss Paquet’s “Next!” the 1968 all-school production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific was on. After two nerve-wracking days of tryouts, forty untried actors were cast as nurses, seabees, planters and natives. Then their test began. Choreographer Janelle Cousino pushed dancing nurses and seabees to their endurance limit while strained strains of “Bloody Mary” emanated daily from the room of Music Director, Sr. Jolene, and Miss Paquet kept consulting her notes and shouting “Let’s take it from the top.” Meanwhile backstage, Mr. Foye’s able crew frantically worked to finish the exotic sets. Suddenly it was May 17 and the curtain opened on a South Sea island. Ensign Nellie Forbush and Emil DeBecque, as portrayed by Gail Walling and Dave Pruneau, rapidly fell in love despite their different backgrounds and John Stasik and Karen Tracz, as sailor Billis and Bloody Mary wangled over island business. Greg Burek as Lieutenant Cable almost forgot his “Girl Back Home” when he met Linda Muir as Liat, the island girl. High points were many. The boys spirited “Nothing Like a Dame” finale and John Stasik’s Polynesian dance were at the very least, memorable. Even small difficulties like the literal dropping of the Company Street backdrop couldn’t keep the show from moving on each night to a happy ending and thunderous applause. (RIGHT) Something seems to be attracting the gaze of Frank Kotyk and it isn't Karen Tracz this time.

For anyone who attended the “68” Junior-Senior Prom and cherishes a fond memory, “Love is Blue.” April 26 was D.C.’s prom night. The evening started early with yOung couples posing for pictures. Afterwards students met at the shrine where senior officers presented Our Lady with a bouquet of roses, their class flower. A little later escorts were helping their dates out of cars and into the grandeur of Lovett Hall. The romantic mood was set and the music of Mike Quatro’s band carried it from the lobby to the ballroom. Each song was meaningful and every dance was special. At midnight the endless evening took a different turn and the last couples departed from Lovett Hall to make their dinner reservations. Each girl carried her favor of an array of blue flowers in a little straw basket. Everything was wonderful. Not only was “Love is Blue” a perfect theme-it added color to the gala occasion.

What would athletics be without the students? These are the people for whom the athletic program has been established. During the past year, just as it had been in previous seasons, the Falcon fans played a tremendous role in the numerous exciting victories. Displaying their continuous enthusiasm, Falcon partisans shook a great many rivals with a colossal wall of noise as the Falcons poured onto the field. The Falcon athletes have always been of high caliber, both on the field and off. During the fall, the gridders rose to their greatest heights, winning their second consectutive Double A championship. While the other Falcon sports were not quite as successful, a measurable amount of promise was shown for upcoming seasons. Varsity head coaches, Mr. Tony Versaci, Mr. Ralph Goldstein, Mr. Michael Foye, Mr. Fred Mushinski and Mrs. Corrine Mulvehill inspired the athletes throughout the year with their true dedication. But more important than being victorious on the scoreboard is the fulfillment of character and purpose which is accomplished in sports. At Divine Child the vast majority of students really move with the spirit of the sports. Very few belong to THOSE WHO SEE. Almost all are THOSE WHO TOUCH. 47 Falcon Gridders Capture League Crown Someone once said that the best-taught subject in the American high school is football. Not only are the students given theory, but they are given hours of practice in that theory. The standards are severe. The term examinations are those difficult, glorious games played on the field. For which English course is a student willing to go without sweets, refuse tobacco and limit his social life in order to stay in training? For what math class is he willing to memorize signals and to learn plays as difficult as the most complicated equations? The 1968 version of the Divine Child Falcons passes its curriculum with flying colors. For the second consecutive year the Falcons foiled the grid experts by bringing home another Catholic grid championship. Led by senior backfield stars Gary Danielson and Jerry Strausbaugh, the falcons rolled through the season with a 7-1 record piling up 208 points to their opponents 77. This young contingent won their championship after months of hard work and diligent effort. But were it not for the spirit which characterized not only the team, but the students and fans as well, the title of “champion” would be resting upon the shoulders of another school. For all those who participated in this year’s program, an indelible spirit will mark in our minds the year of the Falcon-1968. 48 Divine Child 26 1968 FOOTBALL RESULTS St. Mary’s Redford Opponent 6 (FAR LEFT) Jerry Strausbaugh roars down field with paydirt in sight.

As in last season’s Goodfellow encounter the Falcons were outweighed on the line by 35 pounds per man. But the quickness and agility paid off in big dividends when the Falcons struck early in the first quarter. The stunned Cubs never recovered from this initial score and the Falcons rolled to an easy 21-7 victory. Senior quarterback Gary Danielson with his outstanding display of passing, merited the Most Valuable Player Award which another Divine Child player, Ed Puishes, won last year. For the second consecutive year the Falcons foiled the experts and proved they are really No. 1. (FAR ABO VE) Coach Versaci is happily mauled by his team after a Falcon score.

A Varsity Squad Shows Hustle in Tough Year The 1969 version of the Divine Child basketball team encountered rough going. Just as in the previous campaign, the cagers missed an important week of practice due to the extended football season. The shortened practice time lead to an early one-point defeat by Shrine. The Falcons, however, came back and played some excellent ball afterwards and evened their Double A record 7-7. Although the young Falcons played inconsistent ball, they occasionally showed flashes of brilliance. Coach Ralph Goldstein in his fourth season did another outstanding job with his youthful contingent. Despite the many losses, the D.C. five showed hustle, spirit and a great deal of promise for the future. 1969 BASKETBALL RESULTS Divine Child Opponent 62 Shrine 63 59 Holy Redeemer 68 62 Bishop Gallagher 63 67 Benedictine 42 67 Servite 65 52 St. Mary’s Redford 55 70 Ambrose 51 50 Shrine 70 63 Holy Redeemer 81 59 Bishop Gallagher 56 73 Benedictine 57 58 Servite 70 74 St. Mary’s Redford 62 76 Ambrose 63 (FAR LEFT) Driving toward the hoop, Rick Harris prepares to drop another bucket.

Under Coach Jerry Morrisey, the reserves compiled a 10-4 record which was good for third place in the league. The starting five consisted of sophmores Greg Puishes, Tom Buzewski, Steve Burton, Dave Kuriluk, and Freshman Bill Hinski. This group, augmented by an excellent bench, make Falcon basketball prospects. Late in the season, the reserves provided D.C. roundball supporters with one of the big thrills of the seasons: a three-overtime, one point victory over a determined Redford St. Mary’s squad. Coach Morrisey, in his second year at the helm again instilled in his ballplayers the familiar drive and spirit which D.C. basketball fans are accustomed to see Falcon reserve teams display. With superior coaching and every individual’s effort to put the team before himself, the reserve cagers have given Falcon basketball fans hope for a first Double A championship in the near future. 54 (ABOVE FAR LEFT) Center Tom Buzewski prepares to pass off the low post.

These spell the difference between the champion and the “also-ran” in the world of track and field. The Divine Child Falcons, shooting for their third consecutive Double AA title, appear to have an excellent chance to repeat their victories. Under the reign of new mentor Mr. Michaei Foye, the cindermen will be strong in every catagory. With a balanced squad, and many returning lettermen, it appears as if 1969 will bring another crown to the Falcon trophy case. Faced with two miles of uncompromising terrain and more often than not, terrible weather, the Falcon harriers seem to function best under the worst conditions that can be imagined. Assuming the duties of coach, Mr. Foye and the team of distance runners have compiled a three win, two loss, one tie record. Despite adverse weather conditions, and a rash of injuries, the Falcons worked hard and began to make great strides at the conclusion of the season. Next years’ returners can be expected to help the Falcons win high honors, if their performances this year are any indication of the kind of material with which coach Foye will have on hand next season. w Bright Future Predicted for Falcon Nine (ABOVE) Outfielder John Silvi gathers in a long drive.

(RIGHT) Rick Harris chooses his warclub before stepping to the plate. 58 The crack of the hardwood against the horsehide, the bellowing of the umpire, the roar of the fans, and the chatter of a fired up ball club: these are the sounds of baseball. Every spring the Divine Child “nine” enter the season with high hopes, but a few tough breaks have blocked the way and prevented the Falcons from capping a Double “A” title and a chance to play in the city championship at Tiger Stadium. The 1968 version of the Divine Child baseball team has established itself as a contender for the Double “A” crown. The battery of Jack Cogley and Tom Varlesi with Mike Kieltyka in the bullpen provides the Falcons with exceptional mound strength. A tight defense, spearheaded by infielders Ken Brooks, Mike Perino, Mark Sulik, and Greg Puishes should choke off many a rival’s rally. The outfield will be anchored by returning lettermen John Silvi and Rick Harris. After a year’s experience, the unique three-ball, two-strike rule should not hamper the Falcons. Coach Don Silvi predicts that Servite and Shrine will provide the obstacles in the run for the championship. It appears that the Falcons will gain their seventh consecutive first division finish. 1968 BASEBALL RESULTS Divine Child Opponent 5 Benedictine 0 3 St. Mary’s Redford 2 6 Holy Redeemer 3 2 Shrine 3 0 Bishop Gallagher 1 1 Benedictine 4 1 St. Mary’s Redford 0 4 Holy Redeemer 2 Girl Athletes Show New Spirit Girls’ sports at Divine Child occupy an important part in the athletic program. One look at the FAlconettes reveals a spirit and drive which rivals their male counterparts. Under the able leadership of Mrs. Corrine Mulvilhill. they discover athletics to be strenuous and time-consuming but healthy fun. The softball team was in its first year of competition in '68 and came away with a fine record. Coach Mulvilhill looks for even bigger things this season from a squad led by seniors Mary Mahoney and Anne Johnston. Both the Varsity and J.V. squads are well instructed and feature many returning veterans. Coupled with muscle fatigue and experience in the thrill of victory and agony of defeat, our girls accept the consequences gracefully and are always a credit to Divine Child High.

These are the years when they have to play on the second string of the football team or just get edged out of a club office by a senior. Other underclassmen are so busy having a good time that somehow they miss seeing all these disadvantages. To them being an underclassman means bushels of Kleenex pompoms for their Jloats, Christmas Glee Club rehearsals in the cafeteria when you can watch the whole outside world fill with snow outside the window, boisterous games of volleyball in gym class, and thundering spirit competition between classes at pep rallies. These take the time to savor the advantage of not having to worry about college boards or entrance exams. These are the ones learning the wonder of learning new things about themselves and about their friends and the whole world. These are the ones who are not just of THOSE WHO SEE, but who are something better. They are THOSE WHO TOUCH. 62 Half-Time Finds Equations and Formulas {ABOVE) Annice O’Brien and Kathy Weakley find a new use for Kleenex at a float meeting.

Bombarding Juniors With two whole years tucked in their coat pockets along with their Bic pens, juniors are officially over the midway hump, socially and academically. Socially, beginning with football games and ending with a successful Junior-Senior Prom, this year’s juniors know what it’s like to shout VICTORY. A castle, this year’s float, took first place to merit them the 1st annual Homecoming Float Plaque and sent them onto the Charity Bowl game where they placed second in city competition. The juniors are inducted into the NHS, walk off with awards at the Science Fair, join clubs, attend basketball games, and goof around knowing that they will be around next year to make up all wasted time. Socially, it’s the year-of-the-car as many juniors gain another victory by losing their fathers and brothers as chauffeurs. Academically they stand undefeated as they learn the victory of an “A” on a chemistry test or a solution to an algebraic equation. The jolly, jolly juniors, class of 1970, can surely boast of being graduates in a new decade. Fast-Paced Juniors Rise to New Status (B-3) BOTTOM ROW: C. Carroll, A Fitzgerald, B. Govan, A.

Socially, they’ve burst through the “boys in one corner . . . ” barrier as they emerge with dates for the Homecoming. Superhuman, last-minute efforts like the second-place “We’re Number One” float or carloads of “Favorite Teacher” ballots testify to their growing school spirit. As mountains of school work threaten to avalanche, they discover that all’s not fun and games like “pitching pennies” during lunch. Little things like English term papers and science projects leap at them with horrifying rapidity despite efforts to ward them off with the magic, “I’ll start next week end.” Sophomore year breeds extra responsiblity as students are expected to finance the Junior Ring Day breakfast from the proceeds of their annual dance. Sophomores may not have reached the top. In fact they are not even close. But at least they can now see it.

Soon, however, they discover that most of their qualms were baseless. Algebra is, after all, only another name for arithmetic and if room 109 is next door to room 105, that’s all right, once you know where it is. And this in a way is what freshman year is all about-finding out where you are. Scholastically, freshmen are forced to undertake languages for the first time and even dabble a bit in Fine Arts. Socially . . . well . . . freshmen discover dozens of possibilities. They can canvass door to door for newpapers for the yearbook paper drive, which this year’s freshmen crop carried off in a flurry of fine print. They can build A-l combinations of scrap wood and Kleenex pompoms, like this year’s Falcon Fever Float. Freshmen can, in fact, do just about anything. The things they can’t do, they don’t let bother them. After all, there are three years ahead. 77 Lost Freshies (B D) BOTTOM ROW: K. Weber, D. Deasey, M. Wood, S. McGowan, A. Staffnik, K. Stanecki.

To these students clubs mean nothing more than a way to spend their time while waiting for a ride home. They see them only as a way to make their permanent records more impressive when it’s time to apply to college. But to other students, the ardent members of the “After Three Society.” the word conjures a variety of meanings. It can mean a trip downtown with the French Club to see the tragedy ,Phedre or the opportunity to observe real teaching methods in the grade school with the Future Teachers Club. Maybe it means an intriguing game of chess ora casual session in the Folk and Guitar Club. It could mean a real German dinner at Frankenmuth ora tough night with the Science Club preparing the gym for their annual Fair. To this type of student it doesn’t matter what club they are in because in every one they have the opprotunity to really get to know other students and to do things they never could have done on their own. To these students every meeting is special because they are special people. They do more than THOSE WHO SEE. They are THOSE WHO TOUCH. 82 83 (ABO VE) Celeste Wlosinski proofreads Christine Koss's copy as quickly as it is written. (ABOVE RIGHT) Anne Marie Lukas loads the temporarily working camera.

Dauntlessly they forsake the conforts of hearth, home and basketball games as they relentlessly pursue the most elusive beast of all the quality yearbook. In their search they must daily battle the evil forces of blurry pictures, inaccurate copy and the most frightening evil imaginable' the deadline. At times their obstacles seem insurmountable, the road too potholed, the prize unreachable. But somehow each time they are lifted from the darkened depths of despair by White Knightress Sr. Terenita and her bottomless bag of apples. Milk Duds, and pretzels. What matter if editors often cry under desks, the staff has forgotten what a dismissal bell means and homework is as forgotten and neglected as a 1959 Edsel? The Clarion staff has a goal in sight, a vision to lead them onward. Somewhere, somehow, someday, some one will look at this yearbook and will say, “Thank goodness for a Modern yearbook.” 85 1969 Herald Staff p. 1 Editor Cindy Kerr p. 2 Editor Richard Kidder p. 3 Editor-Janet Smith p. 4 Editor-John Serafin Reporters—D.

Into Center of News With glue in their hair, blisters on their typing fingers, and reams of scratched copy in their wastebasket. Sr. Charlotte’s hardy Herald staff is a hardened crew. Despite little or no previous journalism experience for nineteen of the twenty-one staffers, the Herald reached the printers on schedule eight times. Traditional columns like “Dial DC” and “Mini-Bits” were left on the cutting room floor this year to make way for the new “Feedback” and “Nips of News” columns. Headlines were bolder, pictures larger, and art more expressive as editors strove for a “Modern” look. Traditional problems, however, remained. In age-old style, news stories were written before they happened. Pictures were misplaced the day of the deadline as editors and staff alike fought off nightmares of headlines that didn’t fit and of glue that wouldn’t stick. For the past three years the International Society of the Quill and Scroll has awarded the Herald its International Honor Award, placing it in the top rank of high school newspapers. With an advisor and staff like the Herald has, it’s not difficult to see why. (ABOVE FAR LEFT) Pat Longuski brightens up paste ups for Richard Kidder.

Perhaps the D.C. cheers aren’t that out-dated, but this year’s Varsity and J.V. cheerleaders have gone far beyond their potential in reviving that “01’ school spirit.” Both squads have introduced new and exciting formations by which the Falcon fans can express enthusiasm for their alma mater. Incorporating cartwheels, flips and splits into their cheers, they have raised the voices of the fans from a dull, uninterested whisper to a loud, enthusiastic roar. Constantly hoping for a Falcon victory, the D.C. ’68-’69 cheerleaders have kept their hands clapping, their voices screaming and their feet stomping to the lively rhythm of the Falcon beat. As the stimulating link between players and viewers, the Varsity and J.V. cheerleaders have managed to unite the Falcon spirit and to bring another victory to the school with the A-l spirit!

Anyway you look at them language clubs are beneficial. Foreign language to club members is more than a dictionary of words. It is an extension to the people and the places where it originated. With the help of films, slides, art pieces, records and pictures, the members can be swept away to a lively Norman village, to an ancient Roman ruin, or to a gay German festival. By means of these visual aids, they experience and comprehend how these people once lived, what their customs were, and how they now live. Clubs also provide many opportunities for members to put into practice what they have learned. For the Deutchlander, to order Sauerbraten or Wienerschnitzel at Frankenmuth; for the Circle Francais. to experience the agonizing conflict of guilt in Racine’s tragedy, Phedre, as portrayed by the Comedie de Bourges players of France, for the J.C.L’s to revisit Masada, the site of Herod’s fortress and palaces dating to 360 B.C., recreated at the Detroit Institute of Art is a next-to-best substitute for visiting these foreign countries. Although miles of ocean must be bridged to meet these friendly neighbors, Language clubs shrink the distance through an understanding of their cultures. 91 Thinkers Congregate In Intellectual Clubs Always in search of more knowledge, D.C. students have'found a combination of fun and learning during their after school hours. The so-called “intellectual” clubs have opened up new horizons of challenge and endeavor to interested students. A first for the school is this year’s Photography Club under the direction of Mr. Birchmeier. After learning the skills of developing their own pictures, the “camera bugs” have advanced to the point of submitting their prints for competition. Young Einsteins receive the opportunity to test their new scientific ideas in the Science Club. Guest speakers, films and lively discussions highlight their bi-weekly meetings. The Chess Club is a serious-minded activity demanding profound thought and deep concentration. Members agree that long hours of practice will prove valuable come tournament time. The Math and Slide Rule Clubs help potential mathematicians get a background in math and explore the less common fields of the subject. The High School Bowl has been a unique experience for D.C. this year. Four panelists and an alternate were selected to represent the school on the TV program “High School Bowl.” With activities like these in Divine Child, it is no wonder that so many students linger after the last bell. (LEFT) Checked by Mike Ratchford, freshman Rick Pruneau contemplates his next move.

Future Clubs Open Occupational Doors “What are you going to be when you grow up?” Even if that question isn’t as popular as it was in grade school, most students realize what a necessary question it is. Although they aren’t really sure what they would like to be, they are helped considerably by the “Future” clubs that are available. The Future Teachers’ Club with moderator Sr. LaVerne takes an active interest in D.C.’s own grade school. There members observe teaching methods and help in a special tutoring program organized just this year. The Future Nurses find their interests in many fields of nursing. Besides viewing films and listening to speakers they participate in Candy Striper programs. The Future Secretaries share the burden of office paper work and offer their typing services to teachers. They also tour, the Detroit College of Busniess annually to examine their facilities. Future Chefs learn the mysteries of the cluinary world or at least the proper way to grill a hamburger. By actively participating in these future clubs today students have a better understanding of what they might be doing tomorrow. 94 vO vyi Juniority Cultivates Modern Brotherhood It's been said that involvement is the key to success. It’s no wonder then that both the Model U.N. and the Human Relations Club are so successful-both of them use involvement as their motto. The Model U.N., a pint-sized counterpart of the real thing, is established throughout the Detroit area. Each participating school is given two countries to represent and Divine Child’s are the Netherlands and Laos. Representatives study the backgrounds and national policies of their country and meet once a year at the University of Detroit for a weekend convention. President Rick Kidder and Secretary Kathy Sleziak were the central agents of this year’s brand new Human Relations Club. Through planned activities, such as community house-painting and clean-up, members strive to bridge the gap between social-economic groups and make themselves fuller human beings in the process. ABOVE RIGHT) U.N. members. Jane Montgomery and Mike Kieltyka, discuss recent political developments. RIGHT) Rick Kidder and Kathy Sleziak.

While their main activity is supporting the sports program, they seemed to promote anything and everything in sight. Although the club has only twenty active members, it provides enough active spirit to arouse a six hundred member student body. As Mr. Wickert says, ‘The Pep Club makes D.C. come alive.” The Divine Child Golf Team should be a top contender in its league this year. All eight of Coach Ralph Goldstien’s linksters are returning for the 1969 campaign, led by four-year letterman Ed Muir. Senior Jim Wilson is back for his third year as is junior Bob Stephens. Slammin’ Sammy Test, senior, rounds out the starting foursome. The team plays seven league matches and concludes the season in the Dearborn Invitational and State Regional tournaments. With their fine record in the past, they prove that they are more than a club. (ABOVE) Golf team: Coach Ralph Goldstein. Sam Test. Tom Porman. Tom Kester. Michael Simowski. Gerard Strenk, Ed Muir.

(BELOW) Pep Club members put the finishing touches on the new spirit banner for the gym. 97 Organizations Attract Interest of Students Strumming up with the beat of “They’ll Know We Are Christians by Our Love” certainly gives students of the Folk-Guitar Club a great experience in fun and self-importance. They not only are praising God, but also are helping others adore Him by singing “their own thing.” The Folk Club has the responsibility for playing every Sunday at the 7:45 Mass. Also in the line of a more modern Christian worship are the ideals of the Scripture Club moderated by Sister Danielette. In this activity students try to find out how the ancient writings can have a purpose in their lives today. The profits of the Sweetheart Dance help C.S.M.C.’ers support the missions. Its members find happiness in helping the less fortunate. In the exclusive “girls only” Junior Miss Club, feminine coeds learn the art of bringing out the best in themselves. They are taught professional modeling by their moderator Miss Brzozowski. 98 - (ABOVE FAR LEFT) Jerri Anne DuRoss and Lynn Alberston assist Sister Josephcnia in making decorations for the CSMC’s annual Queen of Hearts Dance.

To some seniors the last year is just one more to get out of the way before they can graduate. They see it's only merit in another year of freedom from Uncle Sam and the local draft board. To the rest of the seniors the year is something entirely different. It is the muted harmony of red and gold in their class ring, the gentle wistfulncss of their class song, “Somewhere, ’’ the thundering wall of noise that eruped at their last football game the Charity Bowl. It is the assuredness of a front seat in the auditorium, the zaniness of Freshman Day, the poignance of every single “last. ” To these seniors, senior year is not just senior year; it cannot be spearated from the years before, the years which have shaped them into the people they are. Senior year is an extension of all the assemblies for the Christmas Concert or the Quill and Scroll or the Honors program. It is an extension of pep rallies and spirit contests and all the things which make Divine Child what it is. To these people every year was special. To these people all the years to come can be special. But this can only happen if they never become only THOSE WHO SEE, but always remain THOSE WHO TOUCH. ' • • Double Ceremony Marks Ring: Day Ring Day, May 1968, for the class of 1969 and the rest of the school was an event unprecedented in the traditions of Divine Child High. The 143 members of the class of 1969 were the first ever to receive their rings during their junior year. Spirits were about the only things left undampened on the drizzly afternoon of May 21. Tire entire student body assembled on the front lawn for the ceremony which included both May Crowning and the blessing and distribution of the Rings. There was more to the ceremony than the breaking of a tradition, however, because the ring is much more than a band of gold with an oval red stone and an engraved Falcon. The ring is first of all a symbol of a student’s academic growth. Even its shape has meaning. Its roundness represents eternity-eternal love for God, eternal respect for self and neighbor. The exteriors of Ring Day may have been changed, but for the class of 1969 and all of the classes to come, the significance and symbolism of the rings will always be the same.

Quite a few things have happened in the three years and eight months since then. Sophomore year may officially be remembered as the “Principal of the Year” year, but it was also marked by the historic fire that ravaged the helpless telephone pole right outside of Mrs. Marshall’s English class. Football reigned junior year as the soaring Falcon swooped down upon all comers and captured the Soup Bowl game, the Goodfellow game, and with them the City Championship. The last year was perhaps best of all for many, though. The senior breakfast, the girl’s powderpuff football game, the Catholic League football Championship game, the school-closing flu epidemic-it’s hard to say which of these will most long be remembered. Memories are kind of a funny thing. It is somehow not the sights that are rememberd but the fleeting impressions of sound and smell and feeling that remain forever with those who have touched life. 123 Senior Directory THERESA BAILEY, LO 3-7036 1060 Woodland.

Despite those little things that happened in the publications room-the electrical fire which Mr. Bowers courageously extinguished, the football “breakdowns” demonstrated to the female staffers by Mike Simowski- the staff has managed to produce one of D.C.’s finest yearbooks. This year the staff has been confronted with various amateur yriters and critics. Thanks to Mr. Russ Whitehead and Mr. and Mrs. Suprunowicz of Modern Yearbook Company, to Mr. Frank Ortman of Craine Studio and to Mr. Douglas Birchmeier and the Photography Club, they were able to express their real talents. To people like Mr. Cislo, who donated the prizes for the Clarion raffle; to Sue Clauss, who sold the most business patrons; and to the staff members’ wonderful parents, who have given up their sons and daughters for many a weekend, the ’69 Clarion staff is sincerely indebted for their kind cooperation, charity, enthusiasm and understanding. Last, but most certainly not least, the staff expresses its deepest gratitude to its dedicated and tolerant advisor Sister Terenita and to Sister Gerald for her charitable support of the book. Yes, the Clarion staff of 1969 has had its ups and downs. But it has been able to survive to say the words: (ABOVE LEFT) I'm the greatest star, sings Gndy Kerr.

Terenita, C.S.B. 135 June, 1969. The central intersection at last is cleared of traffic. A year’s collection of history notes, study hall jokes, demerit stubs and gym class bruises have somehow been forgotten in the shuffle to return locks and to remove gum from the underside of desks. One year of memories has spitted out into Silvery Lane and Gulley Road. The year is over. Football games, Favorite Teacher ballots. Talent Show entries and Science projects don’t matter anymore. It’s next year that counts now and the year after that. Those years ahead could mean almost anything. They could mean only routine’ and boredom and monotony-a week by week rerun of the days before. They could also mean much more. But to make them mean more, a person has to learn to stop worrying about yesterday or tomorrow and start enjoying today. He has to learn to reach out of himself to touch and savor the laughter and beauty and joy of every single moment. Then he can stop being only one of THOSE WHO SEE and become one of THOSE WHO TOUCH. To Touch Is To Do More Than To See
