To make a good team, qualified individuals are an important and necessary element. D.C. has an abundance of choice people! D C. students can appreciate the value of life and can readily admire the talents of others while striving to improve their own. It’s not always easy-to which everyone will agree-but you can’t appreciate something without effort. It’s the school that makes the name. It's the students that make the school. WE’RE NUMBER ’’I’’. 5 1970 CimM Volume 9 Divine Child High 1001 N. Silvery Lane Dearborn, Michigan 48128 rfc6uLwtic ... here they come... The students of Divine Child High find that four years of high school is barely enough time to prepare for the living of life. These years herald a physical change as well as mental growth, as students broaden and strengthen their capabilities. High school is a phase of life which no one can afford to pass up! Through it young people learn to appreciate what they’re learning and how to utilize knowledge for themselves and for others. . .. some with gestures, some decisions. . . Students develop communications with fellow classmates while struggling to form understandings of different types of life. High school supplies sufficient aid needed to guide these young explorers in their everyday contacts with nature and the natures of people. ■.. some with facts, some with visions... Exchange and debate. High school is the foundation of new ideas to be shared or old ideas to be disassembled and redone or rejuvenated In Divine Child as in other high schools, students realize the importance of academics and gain the invaluable experiences of work -a pre-requisite for success and one of the facts of life. 8 In a day of riot-torn schools and picketed principals, only a wise and understanding administration could maintain such a cooperative student body as that at D.C. Monsignor Herbert Weier decrees the last word on both parish and school functions. Although he is always swamped with work, he is never too busy to chat with a student and even induce a laugh with one of his many anecdotes. D.C. students agree that Sister Gerald, principal, plays a vital role in the unification of the school. Along with her administrative duties, she manages an occasional check on unsuspecting classrooms via the back door window. Sports director and assistant priest, Father John Cusmano, takes a personal interest in his job. He relates to every person, athlete and student alike, on an individual basis with concern and compassion. Father Ronald Alder is a “new addition” at D.C. Already students identify him with his battle through the main hall’s traffic jam enroute to his freshman religion class. The combined efforts of the administration, faculty, and students maintain an outstanding school. 10 ABOVE FAR LEFT: Monsignor Herbert Weier Joins in Homecoming festivities, socializing with radiant Claudia Plagens and an interested senior couple.

Josephenia Jane Below Sr. Joletie Sr. La Verne Sr. Margaret Mary Michael Mikonczyk Sr. Terenita Mary Vargo There is one class in Divine Child High that offers as much knowledge and enrichment in fifty minutes of time as the other five or six periods put together. This compulsory course is a review of history and a preview of the future. In religion class, individual viewpoints are often the igniting force in whole-scale debates. This short session serves as a vent for pent-up emotions and leads the way for in-depth discussions on current issues which may (if not already) affect the lives of today’s students. Senior students find themselves confronted with the shattering possibility that Christ perhaps was not the Son of God, and on the other hand are asked to give their thoughts on love and conscience. Junior religion classes take a look at themselves and evaluate their relationship with others. The connection between the life of Christ and the fives of people today is the main topic presented in the sophomore classes. Finally, we find the freshman eagerly attacking the intricate ins and outs of the Old and New Testaments while developing useful historical background data on the life of Christ. 12 FAR LEFT: Showing tangible evidence of his belief in God, Steve McDonald takes part in the blessing of throats ceremony. FAR ABOVE: At Moratorium Day Mass. Dave Doncll offers the globe to Father Cusmano as a symbol of his wish for world peace.

RIGHT: Laura Goniwiecha imitates the typical American housewife on wash day in a Theater Arts play. ABOVE FAR RIGHT: If you don't succeed the first time, try, try again, learns Diane Szpond. FAR RIGHT: Virginia Borg finds that a term paper is no easy task. 14 Imaginative Amateurs Display Talent, Technique English enthusiasts who feel the urge to express their individuality and creativity find an outlet in the varied courses of D.C.’s curriculum. Bright lights, cardboard sets, and forgotten lines are only a few of the problems that plague novice thespians in Theatre Arts. The gripping fear of a first appearance, however, is assuaged by an audience’s applause of approval. In Speech, while learning proper posture and pronunciation, some orators find the podium a lifesaver as it hides knocking knees, stills shaking hands, and keeps illusive index cards in place. Classes, such as Research Techniques and Shakespeare Seminar, further challenge more ambitious students. The first tests the patience of term paper writers who find that wading through volumes of encyclopedias and mountains of magazines can be valuable, although tiring, while the Seminar class emphasizes reading and interpretation. Creative Writing appeals to students who long to express their inner souls and feelings in print. They acquire the knack to use exact words and to combine them in an unique manner. Each course explores an exciting field of English and molds talented students into accomplished masters with promise of a successful future. 15 New English Classes Expand Opportunities Floating down the Mississippi, fighting at Homer’s side in the Trojan War, writing a composition on the raging sea, and raging because a vocabulary list never ends-these are just some of the experiences that enrich the lives of D.C. students. Change is the big word this year as courses shrink to semester length which afford Sophomores through Seniors the chance to dabble in many phases of the subject. Only Freshmen stick with tradition as they sample World Literature sidelined with Grammar in a full year course which stresses the basics. World Authors, a challenging course, separates the men from the boys, and leaves even the most studious out of breath. Two of the basic R’s, reading and writing, steer students to Speedreading, Individualized Reading, and Composition. The reading classes have eyes glued to the screen to catch a glimpse of words as they fly by, eliminating chapters with a wink. Composition makes you actually feel what you see and helps it come alive on paper. Courses not only emphasize English, but also enlarge the scope of sensitivity and interest in all the cultural arts as well. ABOVE FAR LEFT: Freshman Kathy O'Neil despairs. My mother warned me about tests like this. ABOVE LEFT: Junior boys ponder whether tis nobler'' to fake it through or admit the truth in English Authors class.

BELOW RIGHT: Mike McLellan and Mary Jo Bom chart their course. Throughout the Ages 6We Shall Overcome’ With the rapid progress of today’s society, it’s a tough job to keep on top of even current affairs. But, D.C. students tackle the study of people struggling to overcome obstacles past, present, and future. World History and American History retrace the steps of our famous ancestors and recount such interesting events as the colorful Crusades, the boisterous Boston Tea Party, and the wild Prohibition Era. Negro History, similarly, draws its foundations from the past, then procedes to analyze the problems of the Negro in contemporary society. Economics, Foreign Relations, and Government have their roots in the past, but concentrate on the action of the present. Students can see Economic notes come alive with today’s problem of inflation and the fluctuating stock results. Progress in the Paris Peace Talks and U.N. activities both perk up the ears of a Foreign Relations scholar. Government gives a fresh slant on the working of the U.S. and helps to foster patriotism. Psychology expands history to the future by predicting patterns of human behavior and by giving students the key to getting along together. History is people, striving for a goal, looking for the day when all barriers are overcome. 18 Mastering Problems of Complexity With Ease? Math, the “exact science,” tests the patience, logic, and comprehension of D.C. students. The freshman trudging through General Math; the sophomore struggling through Geometry; the junior contemplating Algebra II; and the senior wracking his brain in Math IV all share the same goal-to grasp some inkling or understanding of the abstract world of math. Every math student knows the frustration of losing the variable that was to be solved for, having 0=2 as a conclusion, or finding the graph of an equation is bigger than the paper. Every math enthusiast knows the confusion of a teacher’s initial explanation and the drudgery of futile attempts, but also realizes the satisfaction when the final answer is ‘‘cranked out” and matches the one in the answer book. 20 ABOVE FAR LEFT: Geometry students. Larry Dennis and Pam Speer, show their king size math talents with a king-size protractor and ruler. LEFT: Cynthia Gutowski makes it look easy and even enjoyable to get the right answer. ABOVE: John Yanoschik and Rick Bingen prove that two heads are better than one. FAR LEFT: Drafting shakes David Kraemer's weariness as he applies himself in 1 st hour. 21 Students Discover World Through Mice, Microbes Science is the key to a unique world for those who thirst for new knowledge- Each field has a dimension of its own and presents its own problems. Along with the memorizing and studying, IPS has its more interesting moments—broken test tubes, acid holes burned into last night’s homework, and phenolthaline smears on the most important chart in the book. In Biology, that confusing little cell comes into focus and xylems and phloems become more than words written on the blackboard. Chemistry class has an air of its own, as it lends its sulfur and ammonia smells to the halls, much to the dismay of passing students. It, too, shows the difficulties of science by its numerous formulas and applications of scientific knowledge. The courses. Advanced Biology and Physics, really offer a challenge to science-minded students as they further probe the science of life and its many facets. FAR LEFT: Gary Wlosinski keeps his eye open for any unsuspecting developments. LEFT: Craig Gutowski checks the flame as Michael O'Callaghan attempts to figure out what to do next. BELOW: Earth Science takes Terry Bardv and Paul Skazalski outside to observe natural surroundings. BELOW LEFT: Sue Kalisz has a hard time keeping her gerbel under control while Mike Hager displays his abilities. 23 Students Dissolve Language Barrier The super-sonic jet and transatlantic telephone wires are not the only inventions that have tumbled the walls between nations down to mere shadows. D.C.’s language department marches on to prove “it’s a small world after all.” French students discover the language and culture of the country from Monsieur et Madame Thibaut who lei the class spy on their personal lives via the film strip. An outing to Frankenmuth is an annual activity of Miss Kelly’s German group as they experience the mood of the country by sampling various traditional delicacies amid wood carvings and beer steins. Laden with souvenirs, the adventurers return homeward, maybe a little fatter, but certainly more appreciative of the language. Latin class still vows a little book learning never hurt anyone. Verb conjugations and memorizing give way to a new approach that sticks to the book and concentrates on translating certain classics. Although Rome is many miles away, it is only a page away in Latin class. A fresh new world is at the fingertips of those who study a language. ITHE Basic language FAR LEFT: Pat Trahey shows “she can dig it” as she belts out the French National Anthem. ABOVE: Would you believe-Policeman Joanne On showing little old lady Mark Kunnath German sights? LEFT: Industrious Steve Turk. Mary Hessler, Judy Beschke, and Steve Greskowiak crack the books in Latin. Creati ve Minds Look for Cultural Expansion in Art A D.C. art student is easily recognized in the halls as the one with a charcoal-colored shirt, modeling-clay tie, and bright oil-painted hands. Classes, ranging from the basics of Fine Arts to the in-depth study of Art Seminar, tap the hidden resources of creativity in potential artists. Mr. Foye, head of the art department, can frequently be found working on a “Foye Original.” A new addition has provided more space and opportunity to branch out in art. Ceramics class has acquired a kiln and with it new experiences. Students find that air bubbles can lead to explosive ends and spare clay to ammunition in a clay fight. In Painting, it seems that not all the paint reaches the canvas and students find that sitting in the art desks adds color to their life as well as their suits. Mr. Birchmeier and Mr. Foye have collaborated on a new course. Photography. The class learns how to turn such common objects as stop signs, sewage disposal plants, and shiny bald heads into interesting subjects, along with dark room techniques. The art classes give students more than a large laundry bill and oil-paint measles. They give each a new mode of self expression-a new experience to complete a student’s high school years. 26 ABO VE: Paul Drotos docs his thing with clay.

An angel chorus? No, D.C.’s choral group practicing. The sound of a drum roll interrupts a math class. Visiting dignitaries? No, D.C.’s band marching through a routine. The music department, this year, has proudly set up headquarters in the just-completed band room where choral instructor, Sister Jolene and band director, Mr. Tallieu, lead future musicians skillfully as well as patiently. The choral classes have been divided into beginner and advanced classes to allow each group to study independently. The results are admirable. The band made their marching debut in full uniform at D.C.’s Homecoming game. So we are proud to announce that the growing choral group and the energetic band have proven that the sounds of D.C. definitely do include the sounds of music.

Sr. Josephenia Sr. Norma George LaForest Sr. Margaret Mary 30 Classes Aid Students Preparing for Future The Business and Home Economic departments both strive to prepare students for the experiences that later life will present. In the business field, Sister Norma instructs her students to keep eyes on the book not on the keys, and that long finger nails are for actresses, not typists. Business machines present other challenges as students occasionally find themselves wrapped up in extension cords and adding machine tapes instead of their work. Shorthand and Bookkeeping classes also offer varied facets of the business world. The basic sewing and cooking skills of Home Economics are introduced in General Home Economics. In Foods, students are confronted with flat cakes, salty brownies, mushy fudge, and burnt cookies before a true culinary masterpiece emerges. Girls from Clothing find that sewing includes ripping miles of seams, while zippers in the wrong side, unbound bound buttonholes, and two left sleeves further test patience and skill. 31 Busy Hands; Warm Hearts Familiar to Students Behind the scenes of any school there is a devoted staff who makes up the backbone of a well-organized institution. Divine Child, this year, is especially lucky to be blessed with people who care. The counseling offices seem to resemble Grand Central Station, with a constant influx of students. Sister Margaret Mary has dried many a tear, and Mr. LaForest is always available for a “man to man” talk. Always with a ready smile, Mr. Bowers does more than keep the rooms in tip-top condition. By quiet observation he seems to know even the secrets of D.C. life. Mrs. Donaldson and her band of culinary artists make this year’s lunches worth an extra five cents. Our nurse, Miss Stevenson, and the social worker. Miss Bonk, handle physical and emotional problems of the students with both skill and compassion. Sister Annuncia, a boon to researching students, divides her time between our ever-growing library and the relatively new periodical room. These are the people who are often taken for granted, but who are an integral part of D.C. life. ABOVE FAR LEFT: Sister Annuncia reaches for the top.

Students will agree that high school does have its advantages, the most prominent being the built-in social life. New faces, interesting personalities-what better incentive to get up on those dreary mornings? •. . some are laughing, some are crying. . . Everyone admits that many of his high school days were spent in laughter. A student has to agree that those days found his heart doing the oddest things. ... some are doing, some are trying.. . High school provides time for the organization of clubs, some intellectual, others just for fun. Within these clubs students exert their own initiative while enjoying the company of their friends. Whatever the cause, a D.C. student can be depended upon. Ambition and unity explain the success of every drive, dance, money-making affair, or group outing a Divine Child student attempts to organize. 35 New Council Sparks Real Representation A new and better communication has been the goal and achievement of the Student Council of 1969-70. This proved to the voters that their officers were truly representing them. Change was the promise made by this year’s Council in their campaign speeches . . .change in the sense of reform, taking what we have and building upon it. The Council has kept its promises. This year saw a relaxing of the uniform codes, a reorganization of the demerit system, and granting privileges with responsibility for the seniors. Student assemblies were organized to keep everyone informed concerning school events, to hear suggestions and to air complaints. All four grades were equally represented on the council with four officers from each class plus the President, Vice-president, Secretary, and Treasurer of the Council itself. This year the student body truly united with the Council and the faculty to make a school where young ideas have a chance to grow. 36 FAR LEFT: The strain of responsibilities of President Chuck Walling begin to show as he tries to organize his thoughts before a student assembly.

N.H.S. is a somewhat exclusive club. Members are chosen by the faculty on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service shown in school. The club is open only to Juniors and Seniors who have willingly displayed these qualities. Monthly meetings bring plans of trips to visit the aged people’s home, “Marycrest Manor” and ideas for fund raising projects for worthy causes. The N.H.S. are students who enjoy being alive, being useful, who help to make Divine Child just a little bit better. 39 RIGHT: Folk singers Diane Mattis and Barb Cudillo respond to the strains of “Love One Another“ as Jane Montgomery and Nancy Ross play.

Talent Comes Alive The entertainment world this year took on an entirely new dimension with movies such as “Funny Girl,” “Oliver,” and “Hello Dolly” which received much acclaim. The D.C. Talent Show didn’t receive the same publicity as these, nor stir up as much controversy as “Hair,” “1 am Curious Yellow,” or “Old Calcutta.” Nonetheless, everyone can agree it was a success. Humor, originality, and most of all, talent were the keynotes of the second annual Talent Show. Students found an opportunity to let their imaginations run wild, and creative instincts overflow. Coming in February the Talent Show provides a most welcome relief from the mid-winter doldrums students usually fall into. It provides an opportunity to laugh with and at fellow students, as well as appreciate some of the really talented individuals enrolled at D.C. 41 FAR ABO VE: Jack Dempsey and Randy Swiech stand guard over the winning Senior float.

A harvest atmosphere pervaded Friday night’s homecoming dance; pumpkins and cornstalk filled the gym with the pungent odor of fall. The climax of the dance occurred when Queen Sue Murphy, was crowned by football captain, Mike Perino. Runners-up Winnie Gohl and Charie Ciupak, along with the remaining court members, Kathy Briody, Chris Charron, Janet Dean, Janet Esper, Sue Folk, Joanne Kotyk, Suzette Kruse, Dianne Mattis, Sue Morse, Annice O’Brien, Kathy Ratchford, Jean Soma, and Janet Zaguroli joined in the formal march to the throne. Sunday proved bright, sunny and victorious for the Falcons as they defeated St. Mary’s 43 to 30. Half-time ceremonies occasioned the first public appearance of Divine Child’s band, sparkling in their new uniforms. The Queen and her court along with floats from three of the classes formed a parade around the field providing a colorful display of spirit. Spectators at the game could not help but notice that the young of Divine Child entered into the festivities with all the enthusiasm that is typically theirs. ABOVE: Mike Perino delights in Charie Ciupak's comment to Sister Gerald: Sister, please keep smiling. My glove is caught!” ABOVE RIGHT: Sue Kennedy can't believe Ron Paciefewski.

RIGHT: Debby Lukuc, escorted by Bob Guskavict, radiates the theme of the Look of Love. ” 44 469 Prom Reflects Our Look of Love Numerous steps guiding the way to majestic Lovett Hall quickly disappeared behind, as the great door opened. Here began a night of fantasy and reality. The huge stone pillars, foundations of this dreamland, plush carpeting and the glorious staircase, symbols of supressed excitement and forced dignity present in each and every person, led the way to hushed sounds and enchanting music. Dimmed lights, the romantic balcony and the presence of a very special escort made “The Look of Love” a happening. Prom 1969 was a fairy tale! Disappointment in the weather was quickly forgotten as couples swayed to the soft music of Mr. Leo Tallieu’s orchestra. A solo by alumnus Larry Lane added to the significance of the evening. Refreshments filled the gap between dinner and the time hungry party-goers would close the evening with a delicious meal. By unanimous agreement the magnificence of big night was complete! 45 Staff Edits ‘Your’ Book If enthusiasm and desire for success is a measuring stick of quality, then the staff of 1970 deserves an A+. This year they tried to let the students project their own images on the Clarion pages with the motto: “Make Yearbook-Your Book.” Room 112, generously labeled Publications Room, became the center for ideas, hard work, frustrations and often a bit of laughter. Footsteps of the staff echoed hollowly in the deserted halls, barren of students and teachers long after dismissal, as well as bright and early weekends and vacations. Throughout the frustrations of editing a yearbook, an air of cheerfulness surrounded the staff. Their handy bottle of Anacin helped them survive deadlines that came too quickly, pictures that couldn’t be stretched to fill an empty space, and words that suddenly contained too many letters. Clarion 1970 would never have survived without the endless supply of scrap paper, worn-down pencils, cracked Bic pens, and bits of erasers that seemed to overflow from all the desk drawers. An amazing quantity of pop, pretzels, and cookies kept them nourished and able to continue to overcome overwhelming obstacles. With the last page safely off to the printer’s, the Clarion staff breathed a sigh of relief, satisfied that they did their best to follow their dream—to create a “Yourbook.” FAR LEFT: Laura Goniwiecha, Jack Dempsey and Phyllis Foley look for some extra help from Jack's little friend in editing the yearbook.

Columns such as “Have You Heard,” and the “Roving Reporter” kept students informed of happenings which were not greatly publicized. For the first time a survey was taken and the results published concerning race relations and prejudice. A change in printers was made by the staff, resulting in an increased number of pictures in each issue. Editors were changed regularly on the staff to allow all students to gain experience. All were allowed to write articles and headlines, plan layouts and work on paste-ups. The job of circulation was shared by the class. Working on the staff this year were Kathy Blazo, Paul Brand, Karen Grezlik, Dianne Hersey, Dennis Nickerson, Don Nelson, Margaret Nelson, Denise Kurosky, Peter Nuccitelli, Michael Patrick, Karen Peruske, Edward Plawecki, Tom Porman, Craig Prokopczak, Nancy Rosso, Pamela Schonscheck, Cynthia Tishkowski, Barb Trahey, Trisha Walsh, Larry Wilczak, and Les Wilson. All staff members working together tried to keep the “new” in newspaper. 49 Helpfulness Is Key To Clubs’ Purpose 50 Finding ways to aid others seems to be the motto of D.C.’s three helpful clubs. The plotting pep club, directed by Mr. Wickert, is on duty promoting spirit before each game of every sport. Competition between classes and bright amusing posters build student interest and help give our teams the moral support they need. C S MC —Christian Students’ Mission Crusade-works for weeks in advance, planning the Annual Sweetheart Dance. Details for the election of the Sweetheart have to be carefully worked out. They make students want to give because they know the money will go to others. Tuesday afternoons after school find a group of students diligently chanting their ABC’s or reciting multiplication tables. Tutors try to help a child who is having trouble in school, and become a friend to them. There are many ways to be helpful and there are always people who need to be helped. The Pep Club, CSMC and the Tutors have found the best reward is entering into activities to help others.

Tomorrow Is Seen In Clubs of Today Classes at D.C. prepare students academically for careers. Future clubs give students practical experience to prepare for their life work. Future Teachers, through teaching in the grade school and visiting nursery schools, become acquainted with techniques in teaching. Under the direction of Miss Stevenson, school nurse, the Future Nurses learn about actual nursing experiences as well as learning some of the basic first aid principles. Model U.N., a replica of the real one, involves schools throughout the area. Each school is given several countries to represent at a convention held in the spring at U. of D. To learn through experience gives students a chance to see if they will be ready for whatever the future may bring. 53 RIGHT: Ski enthusiasts Sue Clauss and Scott h'sper prepare to “hit the slopes, ’ at Alpine Valley.

BELOW: Using a deck of cards as an example, Mr. Kusza explains probability to his Math Seminar. Sports For Exercise; Mathematics For Fun It isn’t often you can combine a learning experience with having a good time, but three clubs at D.C. have accomplished just that. The newly organized ski club provides students with an opportunity to learn an entirely new sport as well as keeping physically fit. Accidents were kept to a minimum with only two novice casualties. Crutches and pronounced limps became a familiar sight in the halls. Club moderators, Miss Kelly and Mr. Foye, have made it a point to make inquiries regarding accident procedures at each ski resort. Home Ec students aren’t the only ones speaking about pins this year. The Bowling League has introduced new words into the student vocabulary. Team competition gives bowlers a chance to perfect their technique with the thrill of being No. 1 as incentive. Freshmen have taken the initiative to learn outside their daily classes. The Math Seminar sponsored by Mr. Kusza, give students the opportunity to explore other facets of Math and to dig deeper into priciples already explained. Perfecting an old skill or learning a new, DC students prove activities can be beneficial if they wholeheartedly enter into them. 54 Scholarships, Titles, Ribbons Are Due Rewards Accomplishment in itself is rewarding, but public recognition for hard work seems to make things more worth while. D.C. has always had its share of award-winners, and 1970 has proven no exception. Acknowledgment for scholarship came to several D.C. students. Rick Kidder received the Evans Scholarship, Jack Dempsey is a NMSQT finalist, Kathy Sleziak is a finalist for the Daughters of the American Revolution Scholarship ” and Phyllis Foley has first place in the Betty Crocker Test. Sue Morse and Diane Mattis seem to possess the rare combination of beauty and brains. Sue was crowned Junior Miss Dearborn Heights, and Diane, first runner-up. Sue went on to become third runner-up in the State of Michigan contest. Service qualities of Joan Gass and Louanne Bezzina were recognized. They were named Miss March of Dimes for Dearborn and Dearborn Heights. Long hours of practice resulted in honors for the athletes All American Jeff Wotring, CraigOmerod, Max Wasilevich, and Jeff Wotring who were named to the All State Team. Karen Grezlik, Louanne Bezzina and Fred Burdick were awarded red ribbons for their musical performance in the Solo and Ensemble Contest. 'ii Birir!

Falcons Capture Third Consecutive AA Title To Climax Greatest Season Prior to 1969 the football teams at Divine Child had amassed six league titles in ten years of competition. In one season this decade of pride and tradition reached its climax. For the third straight year the Falcons brought the AA league title home to D.C. It wasn’t easy. An opening day loss at the hands of Notre Dame sank many hopes and forced a long uphill struggle for the championship. But this was to be the Falcons’ finest season. They bounced back from that defeat, the only one the team could afford if the title was to be won. In the mud against arch-rival St. Ambrose the Falcons showed the pride and the strength that powered them all the way. Combining an explosive offense with the greatest defensive unit in D.C. football history, the Falcon championship express rolled to lopsided victories over Servite and Shrine, and racked up every point against St. Mary’s in one half before substituting for the first-string. Tire Falcons once and for all proved that a steamroller can move as fast uphill as it does moving down. Defense was the story. Falcon opponents found they couldn’t go inside against Wotring, Roy and Nickerson. Outside they ran into Test and Guibord. Harris and Perino were always back to pick off the passes. They gave up three TD’s. That was the story. The quest was uphill but they were there at the end. It was their greatest year. Yet to come-the Charity Bowl.

He had just taken them to the Charity Bowl for their third straight Catholic Championship. Now in the darkness at the shrine of the Blessed Mother he was ending it all. Years of acquiring pride, of building tradition, of putting Divine Child on the map were all summed up in one emotional game and its celebrated aftermath. Tire career of Tony Versaci at DC was over. To gain a berth in the Charity Bowl, the Falcons had to take on undefeated Benedictine in a playoff game. The result was a 33-0 bloodbath and a date at U of D Stadium, against a Catholic Central powerhouse noted for its strength and toughness. In the cool night air at U of D, the spirit was summoned for the final time to carry Divine Child to a last, yet unreached pinnacle of accomplishment. No one had ever won three Catholic titles in succession. But no one had ever had the tradition the Falcons had. The team had a coach; the school had a spirit. When Burton dived over for the first score, the spirit was felt. Kieltyka’s TD raised a thunder that carried a team and a school back to the shrine on the wings of victory, back for the announcement and the wild celebration afterwards. Coach had finally done it all. The toughest game he had ever been in was the greatest win. 62 FAR LEFT: Quarterback Steve Burton mirrors the intense concentration of the Falcons while consulting with Coach Versaci during a break in the Charity Bowl.

Cagers Start Tradition Emerge AA Champions Football has traditionally been the major sport at D.C. In 1970, however, the Falcon cagers set about making a tradition of their own, and consequently put basketball on an equal plane with the grid iron sport. In the most successful season in D.C. cage history, the Falcons took their first AA crown and likewise made their debut in the Catholic Championships at the U. of D. Memorial Building. But the road to victory was a long one. The season really started during the summer, when the team held their first practices. They were dedicated and were out to win, but no one could really tell what would happen when the schedule got underway. The new coach, Bill McCartney, was a tremendously capable one, but he had to overcome a disabling handicap. The entire team, with the exception of Joe Franges, was six feet tall or under. But height made little difference to a team that was as spirited as the Falcons. The closeness of the first games gave them momentum they never lost. Opponent after opponent fell, until the team came to the game for the title against Shrine. Before a partisan, capacity crowd, the cagers took the crown in a game never-to-be-forgotten. A come-from-behind win against St. Mary’s the next week sewed it up. The title and tradition was theirs. JV Teams Capture Championships Following a tradition of varsity winning and past victories by junior varsity teams, the junior varsity squads of ’69 and ’70 brought home two championships, one each in basketball and football. But perhaps more exciting than these two titles is what can be predicted from the past championships of J.V. teams. Looking back into the past, we can also look to the future. In 1969 the junior varsity football team captured the league title. Tire last Falcon squad to accomplish that feat was back in ‘66 and ‘67. winning two years in a row. And that was the same team that won three consecutive AA and Catholic championships as a varsity team. In 1970 the junior varsity basketball team captured the AA title. The last J.V. team to do that was back in ’67 and ’68, also winning two years in a row. That was the same team that made it all the way to the last game in the regionals in ’68 before bowing to the eventual state champs. Those were fabulous precedents. And back-to-back titles in ’69-’70 lead credibility to the predictions. Look to the future. 66 FAR LEFT: Center Ed Ochalek pulls in a rebound with Tim O’Connor and Rick Miller there to help.

Yo nth and Experience Give DC Track a Bright Future Youth can be both an asset and a liability, something Divine Child’s track team proved in the spring of 1969. Comprised almost solely of underclassmen, the youthful contingent found their inexperience costly. Add to that a string of injuries to key veterans and the harriers still proved they could hold their own against overwhelming odds. But with all except three members of last year’s campaign returning, it appears the Falcons’ chief asset is the youth which hindered them so much last season. Led by all-city quarter-miler. Jack Dempsey, and by pole vaulter, Greg Bonfiglio, the Falcons will have an excellent shot at a title in the newly revised league. In his second season at the helm, Coach Michael Foye feels that he has the makings for greatness in each of the events. The Falcons will ride high as every team possessing their type of effort has. 1969 VARSITY TRACK Divine Child Opponent 44 Benedictine 74 53 Servite 65 73 St. Ambrose 45 74 Shrine 44 39 Redford St. Mary’s 79 18 Bishop Gallagher 100 22 Holy Redeemer 96 Won 2 Lost 5 ABOVE FAR LEFT: Senior Jack Dempsey shows one reason why the mile relay team was the pride of D.C. track.

It came right down to the last game against Holy Redeemer to decide who would play in the championship game at Tiger Stadium. In a hard-fought contest Redeemer defeated the Falcons, making last season the closest the Falcons have come to the title in many seasons. For the first time under new coach Fred Mushinski, the Falcons emerged as one of the powers of the league, and will undoubtedly be a major contender in 1970. All-city infielders Mike Perino and Dale Babij along with veteran Rick Harris should cause opposing pitchers many nightmares. Promising performances are also expected of second year men Pat Perino and Ed Chlebek. These outstanding sophomores along with other factors will enable the Falcon nine to be one of the best lineups in the league.

Golfers Emerge As Power Golf has evolved at Divine Child from a club into a team. What started out as an extra-curricular activity has been elevated to the designation of a team competition. Why the metamorphosis? The reason has to be the emergence of the team as a winning force in Divine Child sports. Last season was the final stage in the transformation. After a successful season against various opponents and a win in the Dearborn Invitational, the team moved on to the state regionals. Successfully defeating their opponents in that competition, the Falcon squad moved all the way to the state championships in Lansing. With that came the recognition of not only being a team, but of being a team of stars. Led by seniors Bob Stephens and Tom Porman, and by George Paul, a sophomore, the golf team has emerged. All that seems to be left now is the building of tradition. Youth Provides Key to Falcon Harrier Hopes Cross-country has always been a sport for the strong in resolution, for those who may not be the biggest or the most muscular but who have a love of sport and competition. Months of miles of running, of endless stamina-building, of preparing to face the finest runners in the city in open competition has resulted in victory and the building of a team for the future. The Falcons have shown that they, too, possess the strength and the stamina that marks the greats in this sport. The 1969 AA season was a promising one for the future. Although the Falcon harriers started the season off with three losses, they came on to win their remaining meets. Just as the D.C. track team is predominatly underclassmen, so the cross-country squad has its base in the lower classes. A bright future is promised. Led by Coach Michael Foye, whose instruction and strategy has helped the Falcons greatly, the harriers have brought a new, youthful force to Divine Child sports. No other varsity team has its prime in the sophomore and freshman classes. ABOVE LEFT: Sophomore Mike Opiela runs the course at Rouge Park. ABOVE: Bruce Darr was another Falcon two-miler.

Always there, always cheering, always pushing the fans higher and louder. Keeping up hopes when things are down. Instilling determination when things are tight. Reaching the heights when thing are victorious. And always possessing the will, the spirit, and the drive that has carried the Falcons to a position unequalled by anyone or anything. Eight cheering; six hundred roaring. Eight of them-the twelfth man. We saw the eleven men out there every Sunday. And we all saw the twelfth, jumping and cheering in front of the stands. Eight girls equalled the twelfth man, and with every student screaming as if he were ten, they together constituted a roar that started against Notre Dame and ended at the last basketball game. It was an unstopable tide, a tide of spirit, a tide of noise, a tide of youth. It was the twelfth man. The spirit they generated engulfed the school. It shook the stands at Edsel, at U of D Stadium, and many a gym across the city. It spurred the teams to positions never gained before by any Falcon team. As the spirit went, so did the teams. Once it was started, it was never stopped. It was never even slowed. 74 ABOVE FAR LEFT: Jane Montgomery leads the crowd in a familiar battle cry.

Schedule Adds Track As Girls Climb Higher Girls’ sports saw their fourth year at Divine Child in 1970 and as in the past they brought both tears of sorrow and of joy to the girls who participated. But more than just the effort to win is present in each team. Just as every other team at D.C., so too the girls have that indefinable pride and unity that characterize the male teams. Hours of diligent practice and hard work add up, perhaps not always to victory, but always to a feeling of having given the effort of a champion. And that is the true essence of sports. An interesting sidelight to sports at D.C. in 1969 was the addition of a female track team. Engaged in meets with other area high schools, the girls never finished lower than second in meets involving four schools. Such stalwarts as Mary Rehberg, Chris Surma, Cathy Carroll, and Cathy Jarema provided talent in addition to effort. In the other sports, basketball and softball, the girls also brought their fire and determination. It was a great year for the Falcons, and one just as great for the Falconettes.

Because of this, the D.C. sophomores of ’72 didn’t stop at just being recognized. These tenth graders wanted to earn this recognition. Most of the faculty and other students agree that they have done just that. The sophomores have established themselves as a first-rate group, both in academics and in extracurricular activities as well. Spontaneity in class, plus numerous winning posters, spirit-jug awards, and record-breaking attendance at Falcon games re-emphasized their overwhelming spirit and good will. This enthusiastic class has welcomed a chance to attend the homecoming dance, to work on the yearbook, to form a separate Sophomore Choral group, and to organize and participate in the various school activities. Outside adventures, such as the frequent trips to fun-filled Echo Valley reveal their youthful yearning for pleasure and excitement. The sophomores are indeed a strong unit. Thus united, they will continue to make Divine Child High School the outstanding school that it has been and is now. The sophomores have earned their recognition. Together, they look forward to doing much more. FRONT ROW D. Babij, D. Beers, S. Greskowiak, J. Keimig, B. Hinski, M. McGellan, M. Haverty. SECOND ROW S. McGowan, D. Timm, M. Kennedy, P. Tail, P.

Confident while finally reaching this step, deep in thought, daring and creative in their activities, seniors have reached a milestone in their life! . . . they 've learned to think .. . For the first time they realize just what high school has offered to them. And for the first time they realize what life has in store for them. Some seniors anticipate an exciting future, basing their enthusiasm on gala dreams, while others fear what is yet to come. But much more imminent to them are the pressing issues of now. .. . not only learned to think, but to care. . . Seniors take time to involve themselves in worldwide i current problems. They are equally interested in what's happening next door. What's more, they aren 7 afraid to voice their feelings whether for or against something, both in and out of the classroom. Here they come, the citizens of tomorrow. There's much they haven 7 learned and there's much they 'll have to face when they strike out on their own. But in preparing now they 'll find the going much easier. 99 Induction to Seniordom Can you imagine the chargrin of the 1970 class as their glorious day into the world of seniors arrived wet and gloomy? Can you imagine how they felt when word was spread that ceremonies would be delayed till the sun decided to wake up? Three years were long enough to wait and one more day was out of the question. Future seniors prayed and fumed. Finally after hours of worry the sun took over and saved the day. It was just beautiful! The boys were as solemn and manly as the girls were giggly and nervous. Last minute thoughts reflected upon the slight chance of a misplaced ring or the horrid consequence of receiving a ring too small! But these trivial fears vanished and pride appeared as the cherished golden circle of dignity was slipped on each one’s finger. A junior sponsored senior-breakfast clinched the new status of former underclassmen and provided a spirit of unity to begin their final year of fun and changes. Ring Day was only the initial ceremony of senior year.

With learning comes seeing—seeing the beauty of the world in the earth, in the stars; seeing the dreadful ugliness of the world in the earth and next door. And hearing—hearing sounds of happiness; hearing calls for help, the bonus that accompanies sight. Being a senior is sharing-sharing fun, sorrows, thoughts, opinions. And it is teaching-an experience that unites mankind in hopes to unite all! This brings up the main point of life-reaching out! Being a senior is giving a part of oneself so that mutual confidence may be returned, but often finding it isn’t. It is experiencing the joys that are the essential part of life, of living. What is living? It is learning, seeing, hearing! It is teaching others to live by sharing and in sharing, reaching out—searching for the beginning of a united people in complete reality. Oh, they've not only learned to think but to care and in caring they’ve learned to dare. Up with Seniors-up with Americans—up with people! ALBERTSON, LYNN, 278-6188 61 1 Ardmore Pk. C, Dbn. Hts.

A yearbook staff needs people! A thousand thanks to the wonderful people who willingly answered that need: Sister Gerald for her support and approval All the teachers for their cooperation Sister LaVeme, Sister Norma, Mr. Tucker for their understanding Mr. Bowers and crew for their patience Mr. Birchmeier, Larry Ellis, Mike Carravallah for photography assistance Mr. and Mrs. Suprunowicz and Mr. Russ Whitehead for sharing their knowledge Mr. Frank Ortman and Craine Studios for professional pictures The Mlkonczyks for raffle prizes A very special thank you to Sister Terenita who put up with a staff-sometimes tired and crabby, sometimes agreeable, more times angry, and hungry ... but in the end, jubilant. As a special tribute and farewell to Sister, we wanted to make a special yearbook wliich she can always remember as she leaves for Africa and for more adventures.
