REPRESENTATIVE-204 Charles, using his previous exper- ience as a homeroom representative, presided over meetings and assemblies and headed all official business trans- actions concerning the Council. Three-year Student Council member, Mary Anne Boris, fulfilled her duties as Vice-President by substituting in the absence of the President and by acting as general chairman of all committees. Aiding the officers were eight senior representatives who managed the home- room Christmas Basket Drive, and also served on various committees.

Their major contribution came in the new idea of an advisory board to assist them in all their decisions and help or- ganize class projects. The response of these advisors and the class itself made almost all class efforts successful. Initiation was calm, the At Home was honestly the best ever, and the Prom, Moonlight andRoses lived up to every- one's expectations.

All dry-eyed and strong-shouldered we say good-bye to our parting seniors. There is nothing tear- ful in this parting. We repeat it every other semester and because of, or per- haps in spite of, what they've done, Re- deemer still stands as it did thirty years ago. Butwhat about this good-bye? It isn't shocking since four years ago we knew theywould leave. If it isn't special, why then should we n e e d tributes ? Not be- cause it's a sad time in Redeemers life, but because it's a happy time in theirs. For four years they have been living on the benefits of this school, and during the same time they have put into it whatever , makes Rede e mer the big RE. And by DONALD CAMPBELL their example, our seniors have helped every Redeemerite to live up to this criterion.

You have your knowledge which no one can ever take from you. And you will have some- thing intangible that you may never be able to define. Andwe, the freshmen, won'tsay good bye either, but rather hello to the world's brightest new engineers, scientists, pro- fessors, and business men and women.

We have tried to instill in Redeemerites the pride we feel for the big RE . Now that graduation is upon us, it seems that so many things are left to be de s ir e d.

By what standards is leadership to be judged? These questions faced the faculty members who were to choose the students who will receive the Christian Leadership Medal. They were guided by that concept of leadership that requires that one who is to be considered a leader must have the ability to influence others . This concept also depends on the recognition by others that the al- leged leader may and can set the pattern of behavior for the group. They chose Lester Goodchild for his dynamic leadership; his ability to create a spark of enthusiasm and fan it into a blaze. His work on the Challenge for two years, and on the Sentinel for four years; his position as co-editor in his senior year, and his contribution to the Student Council have given him scope for the leadership qualities within him to grow. Ramute Misiunas exerts a leadership that is more quiet and un- assuming, but she is nevertheless considered a leader not only by her classmates but by the faculty and the underclassmen as well. Her work in the Sodality andin the Student Council, and her position as co-editor of the Sentinel have emphasized the maturity that is evident in her judgments and in her contactwith others. James Egan is ahighlyrespectedstudent who emerged as a leader since he first became identifiedwith the Challenge in his junior year. He commits himself whole-heartedly to whatever he undertakes, is able to set a pattern of behavior, and is followed by those who have respect for one who believes that the words maturity and teen-ager are not opposed. Mary Ann Boris, Marianne Donnelly, Kathryn Suchyta, Emily Pace, Christopher Scagnetti, and Charles Bickes were nominated for the award in the discussion that preceded the vote. Mother Ann Mary remarked that the awarding of three medals in- stead of the usual two is notacompromise, but rather a compliment to the Class of '66. Senior members of the National Honor Society, who will graduate with gold stoles are: Bottom row: Linda McMillan, Elizabeth Zaliagiris, Ramona Misiunas, and Linda Tymczak. 2nd row: Josephine Borg, Cecilia Kieliszewski, Linda Holtyn, Sofia Sirutis, Kathleen Broniak. 3rd row: Julie Dashkievicz, Kathryn Forgach, Lorraine Niwa, Mary Ann Boris, Celia Schwab, Judy Deutschman, Kathryn Suchyta, Valer ie Michalskiy and Laura Lee Viau.

RAMUTE MISIUNAS JIM EGAN LES GOODCHILD Seniors Merit Gold Stoles At the Honors Convocation on June 9, twenty-five seniors will receive gold stoles. These stoles not only represent membership in the National Honor So- society, but they also stand as symbols of four years of scholarship, leadership, and service to Redeemer. Many of these students have maintained at least a 3. 2 scholastic average since their freshman year. They have been engaged in co-curricular activities and they represent at least fifteen different clubs and organizations. Among them are those who have won scholarships and grants through com- petitive examinations and as a result of high scholastic standing. Some of these students have won grants at the end of their junior year, to uni- versities where they could work in their chosen field for a summer. All twenty-five of these seniors have during their four years fashioned them- selves into well-rounded adults, and are now ready to pursue higher education. Three of the four officers of the So- ciety are seniors. President James Hetner, Vice-Presi- dent Ramona Misiunas, and Treasurer Mindaugas Kutkusworked together tabu- lating marks, arranging the Induction Ceremony, and making plans for the an- ual Honors Convocation. New Honor Society officers will direct the Convocation under the supervision of Sister Ann Paul, moderator.

PTG Ends Year With F estivz'tjes By Ann Korzeniowski '67 The Parent-Teacher Guild ended the year with a Social, to which the parents and teachers were invited. Father Monroe presents Mr. Alexander with a gift, on behalf of the Faculty and parents of the Parent-Teacher Guild in appreciation for the hours of service he spent during the pastyear. The box con- tained a statue with an inscription. Two large murals at either end of the Blue Room transformed the room into a Frenchgarden spot. Theywere the work of Pam Price, who worked on the com- mittee with Mrs. Korzeniowski, her aunt. One of the main attractions was the Harmonica Highlights which provided a gala atmosphere and encouraged even the most reticent parents to get out on the floor and dance. An added attraction was a flower cart filled with carnation corsages so that the escorts could provide their dates with a suitable corsage. During a lull in the program the new officers were elected and introduced to the parents and teachers. Door prizes which were donated by the members of the committee, and local dealers, were given to anyone who had a lucky number. After the presentation of the new of- ficers, Father Monroe presented Mr . and Mrs. Alexander with a gift from the PTG in grateful recognition of his year of service. Plaques were awarded to all those who had participated in the committees. The purpose of the dance was to give the parents and teachers an opportunity to become acquainted on more of a social basis than the usual business meetings afforded. By John Emig '66 Another scholastic year has come to an end. All good little boys and girls willbe gaily going home with their heads crammed full of valuable knowledge. Many of themwill be going home won- deringwhateverwill happen to their good little buddies, Spot and Puff. Contrary to the thinking presented by some silly text books written for begin- ning readers, our heroes are not re- ally stupid animals. This idea was fur- thered by slightly altered exclamations as brought out in previous accounts. Actually they have gone on a quest for higher education and are presently en- gaged in research for their Master's de- gree in Animal Psychology. For their topic they have chosen An- imalistic Characteristics. After ex- tensive study in the US and surrounding countries they have come to the conclu- sion that animals do not differ greatly in their actions from some people. In order to have a complete study they have decided to study the mannerisms of the European animal. To get to Europe they have chosen to fly. Since the airplane is likea bird and made from dies Spot and Puff were heard saying as they flew away into the horizon, May the bird of the pair of dies fly up your nose. So ends a year of stupid, insane Insani- ties. May the world be forever dumber. Juniors Win Summer Grants June will not mean the end of school for agroup of Redeemer Juniors. They will continue their studies th r o u g h o u t the summer with the help of partial and full scholarships. This s cience and math program is sponsored by th e government affiliated with several Michigan universities. Tom L i s i c ki has received a science scholarship fromWestern Michigan Uni- versity. He will spend nine weeks at the college to study psychology as re'ated to science. Tom, Leonard Nos a1 and lucnard Munoz have been chosen as alternates for the math and science program at Northern Michigan. They are second in line for any scholarships offered there. The Turning Years 1962 - 1963 - 1964 - 1965 -1966. Num- bers like these don't mean much on pa- per, do they? They're empty measure- ments of time . But the span of these numbers may be the greatest in our lives for us, we, that are leaving, we that are remembering. For us they will repre- sent more thanjust numbers, just years. They will mean a section of our lives, abridge we built and traveled on, meet- ing people not to be forgotten, experienc- ing moments to be recalled, and events to be cherished. These were the turning years, with their defeats and heartaches, with their happiness and joy. How short have they been or how long did it seem, this small segment of time ? A question almostunanswerable, yet like every person before us, we re-echo the chant, it has all gone so fast. When we were litt l e scatter-brained fr e s h m e n, trembling at the awesome sight ofasenior, scarcely aware of what lay beyond our humble stomping ground we scarcely cared. As the years passed on, how often did we say, Hasn't he changed? or How different she is ? or Remember how he used to be ? We've all changed. Once toy cars and dolls made our world com- plete, now college and work are in our view. We have been transformed by dozens of basketball and football games, spirited rallies, work in class, and experiences with many different people. Whether we liked our four years in a quandry, or hated them, is not important. It is important only that we have changed, have grown. Now we have afuture - a goal. Our purpose in going to school has been ful- filled, our w ork here is finished, it is time to leave. But that which we remember, which we lived. can never be replaced, only car- ried on, only renewed by those who follow. You must continue where we have ended. You must begin where we have not. The school is yours now. It is under your care. Take it, make us proud to be called a GRADUATE OF REDEEMER.

It's All pvgr! .; HOW To Destroy Your Enemies -- Abraham Lincoln once said, The better partof one's life consists of his friendships, and Robert Louis Stevenson said, No man is useless while he has a friend. During the four years we have spent at Redeemer, we have had ample opportunity to work with a number of people, both in our class and in others. By working with these people we have come to know their likes and dislikes. their ,abilities and needs. Many of these people have become our Close friends, and with them we have shared some of the fondest memories of our high school years. As asenior who is about to graduate, there is one thing I regret above all others--that there are people in this school, even in my own class whom I never rea11y got to know. Perhaps it is impossible to know everyone but only as a senior can you realize what it means to know people whose friendship you have established during your school years. That girl that sits across from you in study--even if she seems impossible to get along with, have you tried hard enough? A big topic of conversation recently has been centered around the fact that many stu- dents find it difficult to be able to communicate with each other. Anystudentwhowishes to become a well-rounded person strives to acquaint himselfwith those around him. Even a casual hi and a smile can mean some ground gained. Establishing new friendships means putting aside some of the old pride. People are not accustomed to falling at the feet of those who put themselves on a pedestal or in an ivory tower. Friendship, like many other social institutions, requires cooperation, respect, giving, and receiving. ' It requires a few sacrificed minutes to listen to problems, petty as they may be, and minutes to share long-awaited joys. Here at Redeemer, the air of friendliness does exist, but there is always room for improvement. Tasks can seem lighter and problems easier to bear, when there is a friend at your side. Opposition is no problem - you can easily destroy your enemies , Sis ter Alphonsus by making friends of them. Those with PEN and GLUE in Hand. .. Behind every good high school paper there is a hard working and loyal staff. Striving to meet deadlines and trying to produce articles that are both informa- tive and entertaining has been the goal of Sentinel writers. Reporters and writers have searched almost all phases of Redeemer life in order to bring the news to readers and to give credit where credit is due. The Seniors, who for the most part have written lines for four years are: Gerry Connelly, Jack Clear, Joann Sabo, Mary Lou Happ, Liz Zaliagiris, Anita Surma, Laurie Viau, Chris Scag- netti, and John Steffes. The Juniorwriters were Mike Conway, Ann Korzeniowski, Cecilia Garcia, Sue Omilian, Tom Lisicki, and Janet Bogen. Sophomores who contrib uted lines are: Nancy Kieliszewski, Margaret Malone, Sue King, Chris Bickes, Mary Abela. Some who kept us informed about the freshman side of things were Bob Murray, and Rosemary Croteau. Surviving the strong scent of glue, the problems of copy error and crooked lines, are the students who work on layout. Senior layout members, working under the supervision of the page editors were: Maria Kujan, Linda Tymczak, Marianne Krupansky, Carlos Estrada, and Carolyn White. The Junior layout members were Mike Conway, SueOmilian, SteveOrris, Barb Kasuboski, Kai Kubicki, Darrell Fecho, Tom Lisicki. Working on the sophomore layout were Kathy Waronek, Bernadette Chinavare, Betsy Mahon, Vicki Polanski, Patricia Pryzbyla, Sheila Burns, and Judy Klotz. Working on Sentinel layout for the first time were Freshmen Karen Schulte, Bob Murray, Val Misiunas, Pat Dombrowski, Mary Jo Doran and Regina Garliauskas. 6 SENTINEL May 31, 1966 As Fumbling Freshmen We Triedm 4,29 There is no class like the Freshmen, Seniors 0f Sixty-Six, Where the girls are the sweetest, The boys are the neatest, The best that Redeemer's ever seen.

We started our Freshman year just as any other that came before us; sporting elevator passes and cafeteria permits, we were going to take HR by storm. It w as the year that Jack Clear was in . Remember when he wore suits and vests to school? We greenies were well represented in the car par ade, claiming two of the twenty-six entries. Our initiationfears came and went with the mo nth of October. With polish and shaving cream, the class of '63 tried their best to improve upon the looks of a few Freshman girls - like Lisa Luberti and Laurie Viau. tYou know the resultsJ Susan Jajko '5 expression on initiation day shows mixed emotions. Religion on TV was popular and so were our stars. Representatives were picked who were most experienced in a certain field. DanArreola spoke on Penance and John Steffes 0n Baptism. During these famed telecasts, Bob No- vak's experience as a camera man pro- vided the students with great close-ups of noses and mouths. We gotour chance to shine at Fall Fes- tival time. With Betty Saunders selling eighty dollars for the class high seller, we finished second with 131. 897C. Our physical fitness specimen was Ron Nowakowski, who executed a fifty mile featfor the feet. Heroine of the year was BettySaunders, when she rescued a little girlfrom the fire excape. Her reward9 One little-girl-sized bite! It's like this . . . says RonNowa- kowski after his fifty-mile jaunt. The Freshmen Choral made their debut in the Christmas Show. Remember Little Boy Brooks and Pat McCarthy c a r r y i n g their flashlights. Surely thirty-nine 0f the senior girls chuckle a bit when anyone mentions 210. Between buying roses and candy and sel- ling tickets for school drives, 210'ers had a rough time keeping on top of the Fresh man Class. But with Mozart and Spot- light '63 at the front of the room, they pulled through somehow. In the Patron and Sponsor Drive, Mr. Braun's boys of 310 won twenty-five dol- lars, but they never saw a penny of it. Mr. Braun, where are you. The Spring Show's Babes in Toyland would not have been the same without Tom and Mary. Remember the fiery blushing gypsydancers, Ronnie Cosgrove Rosemary Haro, Connie Solis and Emily Pace, who brightened the stage with their flashing tambourines. Of course, there was the Lemonade Song with dancers Marianne Dombrow- ski, Anita Surma, and Diane Winarski. By the way, girls, what ever happened to that dance? London Bridge came tumbling down and so dida few big candy canes. Did some- one call timber ? Theyfell right on Dave Grunau's head. Pat McCarthy clinked away and played the little 01' Toy Maker. Almost Everything Then Barnaby, Les Goodchild, the old time villain whowas out to foil Miss Mary only ended up foiling himself as his mus- tache gaily floated to the stage floor. Even Mark O'Brien, jim Komiensky, and Dave Grunau charmed the audience with their striking black tights. R e m e m b e r the Singing Nun--Sister Eucharia, who managed to collect $100 for the Missions. The JC L Cake Sale made our gals go w ild in the kitchen. Kathy Suchyta and D e n is e Hebert placed first and second respectively. Airborne TV classes were quite a fa- vorite, and most popular was Miss Ger- aldine Workman's History program. We all made bets as to when she'd get a new outfit. Dr. Kuhn's language lab was a social, as well as an educational asset. French and S p a n i s h students soon established inter-booth communication via switching earphones. Is it true that Sister Justin passed on the latest news to Sister Leona ? Mr. Edward Gajec tried to add some culture to the Freshmen Choral with vio- lin lessons. The resulting melody was of course quite entertaining. This was the start of Elaine Zamojski's career. Mr. LaScola's Science Class, espe- cially J i m P h i l lip s and Lou Peltola, appreciated his skill at ruler tapping and eraser throwing. Dave Gutt played the violin for Ray Menendez and Sister James Agnes' guys of 312 pitche d pennies at them for the missions. Our trackmenwere Jim Hill and Dom- inic Grunas and baseball letter winners were Larry Switzer and Terry Cupples. The school year ended with everyone wondering if Ken Bennett would ever get as tall as Jim Sikora. Chris Scagnetti and Dan Arreola took a crack at track in their happy-go-lucky freshman days. May 31, 1966 SENTINEL '7 As Silly Sophomores We Were Trying The best way to start off the year is by buying books. Eager Sophs are Michael Eichorn, Fred Sroka, Les Goodchild, Stan Moore, Frank Cogswell this nosei, Chuck Toth, Bob Suyak, Jim Komiensky, Harvey Maveal and Mike Borvosky. Sophomore year saw the class of '66 as segregationalists. Not only were the homerooms unmixed--they were on dif- ferent floors. Our experienced group e age r 1y greeted the new faculty mem- bers who were to endure us for a year. Among them were Sister Georglyn, Mrs. Jacobs and Mr. Clark. Though her pleas for publication were refused, composer, Barb Brombach kept writing and the girls of 313 kept singing their praises of Mrs. Jacobs. October rolledaround and Ray Skrocki was chosen as Today's Teen . We were glad to claim him as one of our own . With this autumn month came the Blst, when all good little witches and goblins go out begging. Tagging along behind were the Sophomores. The place was Vernor and Junction and nearby Johnny Hernan- dez's house. The game--a water balloon fight between the guys and the girls. The winners? Undecided! The night ended with the girls having a pajama p ar t y at Marianne Donnelly's house, where the Antie Dee and Uncle JimmyShow made its premier. Getting the girls in the spirit was Barb Brom- bach as star performer. By the way, how's your mother? While the Freshmen tof 'G'D were sub- ject to the wildest initiation ever to take place at HR, the Juniors and Sophomores attended the first mixer with cases of stir crazy and cabin fever going around. After those maladies were taken care of the Sophs finally went to the polls . Their c h o i c e s for class officers were: Jim Choate, President; Marianne Don- nelly, Vice-President; Jim Hetner, Tresurer, andJeanne Lange, Secretary. With hopes riding high, the Sophomores helpedjam the parking lot with their ar- tistically decorated cars for the Dad's C lub car parade. The flash of a sober lion, seen atop Bob Seal's convertible, was flattened under the weight of the vic- tory-seeking fans. After that, the spirit of '66 did not die out with the blo o d - curdling screams of John Steffes, hoping for a Fall Festi- val ticket selling victory, as we came in second place with 8407c! School also provided us with some laughs. Acting ability was drawn out in Sister Mary Columba's girls English II class. Marianne Dombrowski perhaps is the greatest of them all with her Et Ta Brutu . Funniest Thing! Of course, some of the nuns and lay teachers became our fa- vorites. Among them were Mrs. Jacobs and Sister Mary Justin. Sister Justin was lucky enough to re- ceive a visitor from above. No, it wasn't theHolyGhost, norwas ita dove. It was a lion on a window shade cord lowered from the third level. All thanks goes to alumni, Janet Patterson. ;' ' a - am . Jim Niner gives the Sophomore girls a boost as they display persuasive grins and books of Fall Festival Tickets.

Tragedy struck at the world and Re- deemer w as n 't left out as we joined in mourning the death of President John F. Kennedy. He will long be remembered by all of us. Naturallywe danced at those great so- cial functions, the Friday night dances. The most popular person there was Fa- ther Quinn and his rules. On we went and the event that changed every Sophomore girl's life tand walking abilityi was try-outs for JV cheerleading. Led by Marianne Dombrowski, the girls practiced har d with a swingin' H and were the cause of a few dents in the little gym's wooden floor. Besides the girls, the JV team would have been inaudible if it weren't for for- mer Redeemerite, Larry Switzer, who connected for many key plays. The foot- ball team finished the season with a 3-2 won-lost record. Luckily the JV basket- ball team did just as well. The famous comic scene of Pyramus and Thisbe tDan Arreolai and Thisbe tJack Cleari takes place in front of the WALL, tChris Scagnettii. The Christmas season dawned upon us and all good little girls and boys waited for the little fat man to come. 1963 came to an end with '64 eagerly waiting to bring another year of chaos to us. Basketball took a turn as Sophomore girl cheerleaders put a yell in for the girls basketball team. 0 nw ar d we went with the really big s how Oklahoma! It wouldn't have been the same without the dancing team of Hetner, Sikora and Bickes tall Sophsi. Sophomore leading men were Les Good- child as Curly and Jim Hetner and Jack Clear as the Kansas City Kid. Levis were really a big hit during that show. 0k1ahoma!

The spark of 66 also lit the Student Councilwith AnitaSurma, Secretary; and Bob Seal, Treasurer. Father Edward Monroe made the scene as Spiritual Director and all around friend to the whole school.

SENTINEL 9 As Seasoned Seniors We Succeeded May 31, 1966 September of 1965 arrived, and the new part of second floor was ours. A few other new things also arrived for our se- nior year, including Sister Jane Edward and her driftwood, and Sister Joan Mary and her Econ Class. Mr. Downey also came back strong, trying harder than ever to get past the eighteenth chapter of our Civics book. To start off on the right foot, the Se- niors againwent ona closed weekend re- treat. Port Sanilac will always mean a lot to us now, because of the new under- standing of God that we received there. Port Sanilac will also remind Connie Solis that not only food burns on a stove, Maryanne Dombrowski that the sun rises very early in the morning even at camp, Barb Brombach that not every lady in blue is the Blessed Mother, Sister Leona to watch out for Shell stations, and all - senior girls of the future to bring their e, A g, . , own ladders to camp.

Sweczyk will be afraid to go to sleep, and allSenior guys will consider careers as go-go dancers. Senior students participated in many activities this year, but the most mem- orable for about forty of them will be the Challenge weekends. To characterize our feelings on another veryimportant of the year, Ring Day, we will just sing the song, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. After an inspiring ceremony and Bible Vigilthe Juniors treated the Seniors to a most delicious luncheon. There was no question as to the quality or quantity of the food. The decorations became souvenirs as Senior girls snatched parts of the center pieces for their scrap books. Elections for Homecoming Queen were a little different this year, with the ad- dition of a primary by the senior boys. Spirit played a great part in the senior year. Take for an example , the St. Mary Redford Game. In basketball our senior team members playeda good season. The cheerleaders though very sad that their job is ended were proud of all our teams. Everyone noticed the great change the new c 0 a c h e 5 brought with them. The football team fought like never before. Their theme songwas, See the girl with the red dress on. Of course, this was second in line to the school song. This year was a year of sports for Re- deemer, with Dan Arreola starting a ski club, and Jack, clear-headed, Clear, at the head of a craze in skin diving. Footie Wlosinski and Don Marangere stuck to hockey, because it was easier breaking their feet on ice than in water . In amateur athletics, Dave Sourbeck saved the Junior-Senior Game by his brilliant last minute performance.

Seniors displayed their dramatic ta- lent in the production, My Fair Lady. Johnny Steffes' portrayal of Professor Higgins was second to none--not even to Rex Harrison. Joe Garland fit his part so well that many a spectator was doubtful that such an old-timer could still be in school. Butler Jim Sikora, to the amazement of the audience, strongly resembled a member of TV's best known family. Freddie, alias Sensoli, Hill, solemnly sang the praises of Eliza as the scenery floated and sophisticated Mrs. Hill, or Barbara MacDonald did her best to pro- nounce Dear Me emphatically. Ask Mr. Downey about Redeemer's first student boycott. It lasted for ten minutes, then, with tears in his eyes tend of quotel, he said, They never did tell me what to do if this happened. It is an old saying that we forget no- thing. In the future we will remember Redeemer and all our old affections will rushback on us as in the time when they were our daily talk, when they brought joy to our eyes, when our ears were glad to hear their sounds, when with grief we flung them from us. But it has been part of our souls--and it is eternal. We may not have been the best stu- dents, butfrom you we have learned that each man must build his own house. 10 SENTINEL May 31, 1966 Stepping Stones to Tomorrow's Success. . . Unity was the theme of the Junior Class this year. The cooperation and drive of the Juniors as a whole has been displayed in class projects and in school activities. Individualstudents, however, can be singled out because they have con- tributed in a special way by their per - sonal achievements. In football Phil Milkie made the Free Press All-City Team. David Mikonczyk distinguished himself as the Most Improved Player on the football team. Later in the year he was elected to fill the preidential vacancy, left by Gary Schettl when he moved. ell In football, Dave Duarte, Tim Graham, Dave Mikonczyk, Mark Gogolowski, Jim Overholser, and Frank Cardenas were actively engaged. The following juniors took an impor- tant partin the basketball program: Jim Wawrzyniec, Mark Dubiel, Gary Vig- nary, Dave Mikonczyk, Francisco Car- denas, and Jim Sabo. The opening of the baseball season saw Jeff Podczervinski, Mike H'oluta, Gary Vignary, Mark Gogolowski, and John Saaye in the lineup. Track interested Steve Orris, Philip Milkie, Tom Yurkunas, Dennis O'Connell, Dave Mikonczyk, Dave Duarte, Michael Luginski, Tim Graham, and John Clinton. Under the coaching of Gary Vignary and Jim Wawrzyniec, the Junior Basketball Team presented the biggest threat that a senior team has ever encountered in any Junior-Senior Game. ,3 The Junior-Senior Luncheon on Ring Day was a success decoratively be- cause of the artistic leadership of Diane Cummins and Loraine Winsky who, to- gether with Mrs. Lewis made the cafe - teria a spot of beauty. Bob Garland and Bob King, who have been active in the Library Club for three years have recently been elected Presi- dent and Treasurer, respectively, of the state-wide organization CLAM. Mary Jo Alexander claimed the spot- light in the play My Fair Lady as the leading lady. The production My Fair Lady was a success partlybecause of the services of Mark Gogolowski who created the sound effects, Jim Overholser who supervised the lighting effects, and the girls who took responsibility for the costumes for both the male and female characters. The girls who were responsible for the costume arrangements were: Barbara Kasuboski, Kai Kubicki, Cecilia Garcia, Sue Omilian, Ann Korzeniowski, Diane Kraus, Judy Cronovich, andMary Louise Stencel. Joseph Nader surprised his classmates by ordering only one class ring. The members of the Junior Class who made the Challenge were Tim Gallagher, Chris Shibel, Zak Drewniak, Marilyn Madigan, Celeste Klein, Ortensia Lopez, Sheryl Rousseau, Camille Bednarek, and Charles Zammit. Adam Chaczyk has the brightest car in the parking lot--bright orange, common- ly referred to as the Pumpkin. Tom Lisicki, John Morgan, and Dan Urbanowski have always been at the head of the class scholastically. They proved this again by scoring in the top brackets in the National Merit Scholarship Test. Teresa Kent and Larry Spejna repre- sent the Junior Class as officers of the Student Council and were in this capacity of great service to the Junior Class as well as to the school. i 17..., 3 H 2. Picking up the last scraps after the Junior Paper Drive had proved successful are Richard Munoz, Roseann Tedesco, Lynn Carrell, Kitty Gavin, Tim Gra- ham, Virginia Samonie, and Dave Duarte. With all hands on deck most of the time the drive practically ended the Junior's financial crisis. May 31, 1966 The Spirit of Junior Class Unity Richard Caudillo and his trusty guitar participated in the Talent Show. Martha Keehner's '57 Chevy which can do thirty when floored gave a mighty big helping hand to the paper drive. Juniors who participated in the Model UN are: Paul Szpaichler, Diane Kraus, Margaret Beregsazy, Cindy Maraj, Pam Stanczak, JimOverholser, PaulLaCroix, Richard Caudillo and Judy Cronovich. X k, CindyMaraj drove over a keep to the right sign because she did not keep to the right. The Class was well represented in the Student Council by Charles Zammit, Liz Selway, Charlotte Fuhrer, Tom Cupples, Donna Cyrbok, Tim Gallagher, Joyce Muscat, and Chris Shibel. Leonard Nosal was seen on television, as a participant in the Quiz 'Em on the Air program. Zak Drewniak, Sheryl Rousseau, Joe Hook, Carmen Camilleri, and Bob Nor- ris entertained the student body during half-time of the Junior:Senior Game. Vanessa Banko, Ann Korzeniowski, San- dra Wiykovics, and Mary Pisani help to beautify the cafeteria for the Luncheon. AN SENTINE L 11 Class officers and homeroom representatives, Gary Vignary, Jim Wawrzyniec, Kate Patterson, Sue Slavin, Dennis O'Connell, Helga Abela, Marilyn Madigan, David Mi- konczyk, and Cecilia Garcia examine class rings to be selected for class vote. Back in October '65 it was that time of year again when the J unior Class went to the polls to elect their officers. The results were that Gary Schettl was elected President; Cecilia Garcia, Vice- President, Kate Patterson, Secretary; and Jim Wawrzyniec, Treasurer. The first decision of the officers was to choose one representative from each homeroom to make certain that all of the students were well represented. This group would attend all meetings held by the officers. The representatives chosen were Sue Slavin, Gary Vignary, Marilyn Madigan, Helga Abela, and Dennis O'Connell. The biggest problem facing the junior class was financial. Where were they going to get enough money to give the seniors a banquet? Suggestions came in through questionnaires filled out by the students after a class meeting. One suggestion was to take over the cloak room for the Friday night dances . Permissionwas secured easily and each Friday night the cloak room was well- staffed by juniors, checking wraps. When it was suggested to the Junior Class that they have their banquet for the seniors on Ring Day, they were a little breathless since the date was only ten days away, but arrangements were made and the luncheon that they gave was suc- cessful from many viewpoints. Both Juniors and Seniors participated in the Luncheon and the proverbial good time was had by all. In January, Gary Schettl informed the class that he would have to resign as the President of his class since his family was moving to Grand Rapids. Another election was held and Dave Mikonczyk became President. The problem of expenses was eventu- ally solved by a number of activities. There were the cloakroom funds, the J unior-Senior Game, the Wayne State Theatre program and finally the paper sale during the first week of May. At the beginning of the year, the J unior Class Officers requested that the juniors receive their rings at the end of the year. Their main argument was that the ring is a class ring, and not necessarily a senior ring. In November, at a joint Faculty and Student meeting, it was decided to grant their request. This was a first for the Junior Class. After getting the green light from the Faculty, the junior class officers con- tacted Mr. Carey, and chose three dif- ferent styles of rings--round, rectangu- lar and square, to put to a class vote. The rings were displayed in the trophy case so that they could be seen by all and on February 18, thejuniors voted for the ring of their choice. The majority of students chose the rec- tangular style, and each could choose the color of stone desired. These rings symbolize the unity that the Juniors of '66 will carry with them as Seniors of '67. 12 SENTINE L May 31, 1966 Sophomore Window on the World By Margaret Malone '68 How do you go about forming a class ? What about that elusive thing called class spirit? How cana class get together to go forward in unity? These questions are pertinent to us, the sophomore class. Andwe are finding the answers. We have found that class unity doesn't come by conforming to the crowd; it does come from thinking, from learning, from living, from observing. It is aidedwhen we laugh, work, and play together. Our theme, Window on the World, seems to represent us, stillinside our teen years, yet looking outward and up- ward--junior, senior, college career. And we ourselves, now serious, now merry, are aiming for a goal, and we at times wonder Where are we going? How will we get there? Will we be as happy as we hope to be? Freshman year was confusing, and on- ly toward the end did we manage to get any sort of order into our lives. Sophomore year was the year we both grew and stayed where we were, but it was our year of forming ourselves into a class. Those cagey Sophs Laura Piekarski, and Peggy Haggerty laughingly demonstrate Are we getting anywhere? Yes, and the saying. But cages are there to hold people in, or keep some people out, and the with two more years ahead of us we will sophs definitely don't want to be held in. continue to progress . The old road is rapidly changin' and besides looking outwindows, we want to get out And in 1953 when we look back and see there and join in. Cages? No, thank you! That's for the still life exhibits. whatwe have accomplished our view will From another viewpoint though, those barred affairs aren't necessarily cages, but be broader for our experience. open gates to let desirables in, or closed to keep undesirables out. Our window on the world--on the past, In case you'rewondering, both Laura and Peggy got out quite readily and are now IN on the present, and on the future. And now the fancy passes by, and nothing will remain, And miles around they'll say that I am quite myself again. Sophomores are in love! And that's not all they're in. But the poem by A. E. Housman seems to express worthy senti- ments. For example, Him? Oh, I can't stand him. I did like him, but that was last January. It takes a sophomore to come up with a definition of a sopho- more and they did, without the aid of Webster. If you want a definition of a sophomore, just ask a sophomore.

I What else do they do? They join clubs, cheer at games, eat and spread a lot of joy. What do they talk about? They exchange opinions on records singing groups, batman, and would you believe it, world events. They are often seen crossing parking lots at the unbelievable speed of three steps a minute, and charging through the corri- dor at three feet a second, a second after the bell rang. Besides falling in and out of love they fall up and down the stairs, in and out of doors, laughalot, listen and forget, write, comment, criticize, and occasionally do some hard studying. 3 , With the help of Aaron Garcia and Greg Szatkowski, will Leo Papa make it to 1968'? As it looks now, he may not make it up the stairs. The trek across the parking lot seems to have been just too much.

Butwhat in the world do we really care9 It won't be us that'll get gray hair. A call went out from My Fair Lady, Askin' us for our help. Response we made - we sold the most, Not merely once, but a - twice. We were atop from the very beginning, And we never were surpassed. Maybe we get the most demerits, And our marks are not the best; But we've got somethin' in our favor, Somethin' that our uppers have not: We got two more years a - comin', Two more years to reach the top! Now school spirit is a thing of question, Of who's got it and who doesn't. Basketball games we did attend and We came to many and we came in first. The JV trophies the school now shares, This is part of the spirit we have. The future holds many-a-thing and Right now we're training for our life. All that we really want to do Is graduate from this high school place. Then we can walk in outer space and Witness truth with every race. The chimes of freedom are ringin' now And soon we'll be able to help them sing With the deeds of the greatest Sophomore class, The Sophomores who will never run.

Bottom row: Bev Broniak, Terry Gallagher, Mary Abela. 2nd row: Anna Marie Wilson, Betsy Mahon , Sandra Pomicter, MargaretMalone, Linda Rykwalder. 3rd row: Mary Sue Gallagher, Gregory Zak, Joann Melcher, and Patricia Pryzbyla. Sophomores who have excelled scho- lastically were awarded a probationary membership in the National Honor Society at the annual Induction Ceremony. Membership in the Society is based on Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. To rate scholastically sophs have to maintain honor roll marks, and a B average in personal traits. If they are able to maintain their high scholastic average, they may become active mem- bers in their junior year. Christine McGuire, Vivian Fenech, Brenda Kalisz, Kathleen Schema, Peggy Haggerty, Dennis Wasik, MaryAbela, and Bev Broniak work out some sophomoric ideas. Where are the rest of the boys, Dennis? Have they left you to the mercy of the soph girls? In order to qualify as a candidate, a member must be endorsed by his home room teacher, who must make a state- ment about the student's qualifications and personality marks. The moderators of the clubs, or ac- tivities in which the candidate partici- pates must also make a statement about the candidate's qualifications. The times may be a changin' but ex- cept for varying programs for induction the standards for admission into the Na- tional Honor Society are essentially the same as they have been for years.

A large number of Freshman boys have participated in the school's athletic pro- gram this year, including the gridiron, the court, the track, and the diamond. The Freshmen have several purposes in coming out for the various teams. They hope to help restore Redeemer as one of the great football powers in the league competition. They wish to help the team retain their basketball reputation, to earn a varsity letter, but most of all to come out and have a good time with their friends. Two incentives that these young ath- letes have that might be mentioned are the Goodfe 110w Game and the Big House. So beware St. Ambrose and Servite! The Lions Sixty-Niners are on the way.

Dear Future Freshmen: As old and seasoned freshmen, ready to pass on to greener fields, we wish to give you the benefit of our year of exper- ience at Redeemer. First, your seniors will be giving you ample opportunities to purchase various conveniences and advantages. Their first attempt to get you into the swing of things will be the offer to sell you elevator passes for fifty cents each, but do not allow yourself to be taken in. Elevator passes can be purchased at the economicalprice of twenty-five cents or two for fifty cents. Swimming pool passes will be on sale but are good only on the first and third Wednesday of September and January. It is a widely known fact that Mother Ann Mary distributes free passes for the golf course during the second week of September. Buy an official class of '67 teddy bear from Tim Graham. For everyone who calls himself a true Redeemerite, it is a must that he have one. P a s s e s for fr e e lunches are made available in the office, but hurry, sup- plies are limited.

Watch our papers see how they flutter, When we drop our books and we mutter, Listen to us as we stutter cause we're late for class. Sometimes we take our Latin books on the day we ought to take our Spanish, And leaving our lunch in our homeroom desk, Is a good way to have it vanish. At the end of the quarter we'll have a test, We will slave and study to do our best, Then school will be over and we'll leave en masse, But for sure we'll be back next year as the Sophomore Class.

By Christine Markey '69 According to Bob Dylan everybody must get stoned. We have all been hit by little pebbles that did not do too much damage. But stones come in all shapes and all sizes. Some stones leave wounds that penetrate deeper than the skin. Group discussions in freshman classes lend zest to the reading and give aid and com- fort before. tests. Left ro right: Angel Garcia, Christine Markey, Ricky Zamojski, Patricia Carmack, Phyllis Holtyn, Frances Losoncy, Therese Henri, Bill Kish, Vicki Fenech and Kevin Keveny, look on as Ken Seguin prays to his Guardian Angel. Apoor man is stoned by a rich society that keeps on telling him he will never make it because he is not in the right financial bracket. A colored man is stoned when he is continually told by a so-called superior white society that his skin is not a good shade for success. A manwho loves his country and free- dom is stoned when he is forced to give up his democratic ideals for the folly of a power-struck dictator. These are the big stones that cause pain and bruiseaman's mind, heart, and will. However, old wounds heal in time and the pain becomes harder to remem- ber. But all wounds need ointment to prevent infection and promote healing. Love is this ointment. IS GOD DEAD? By Patricia Carmack '69 God is dead! Is He? If so, when did He die? Who is God? St. Paul gives us the an- swer. God is love. Therefore, if God is love, love is dead. So, in order to decide if God is dead, we must ask our- selves if we still love. Is there one person on this earth who can still cry when someone is hurt? Is there one man who wants to give his wife and children the best? Is there one person who will do a fa- vor for someone simply to make him happy? If so, all this controversy about God is a waste of time and breath. If not, God is truly dead. 16 SENTINE L Freshman Takes First By Beverly Broniak '68 The 10th Annual Dad's Club Talent Show beganwitha new twist, the Our Lady of P r o v i d e n c e Band.

A11 bags that had been completed by the students had to be checked, empty bags filled, and the lot By Sheila Burns '68 The C a t h o 1 i c Library Assistants of Michigan met at St. Clement's, Center- line, on Saturday, April 30, for the last regular meeting of this school year and election of officers for next year. HolyRedeemer's delegation consisted of one officer, tBob Garland, Vice-presi- denti, and four other members of the Li- brary Club: Kathy Ko vaks , Sue King, William Sirhan, Betty Garland. The delegates returned with, not one, but two, new officers: B o b G ar 1 a n d, President of the state-wide organization, and Bob King, Treasurer. With one Bob wielding the gavel and another controlling the purse, Holy Re- deemer is wellrepresented among Mich- igan's student librarians. packed, weighed, and made ready for shipment. Mission Club Collects 500 Kits By Mike Conway '67 The ThomasA. Dooley Foundation had asked the students of Redeemer to donate Dooley Kits for the children of Viet Nam. This mission was taken up by Sister Berchmans, and a group of students, a few of whom are pictured above. These students took on themselves the task of assembling the kits. Publicity was an important part of the job, and James Munoz made dailypleas, over the school Public Address System, askingfor soap, wash cloths, toothpaste, tooth brushes and small toys to fill the Dooley Kits. Varsity Cheerleaders Chosen Under New System By Anita Surma '66 What's amount and a peel? was the mostcommon reaction of the sophomore girls, when they received all the infor- mation on the new cheerleading system for try-outs. Under the new system, the length of time for try-outs has been extended to a week. On the first day, everyone interested fills out a questionnaire pertaining to cheerleading. Then every girl is as- signed to a team headed by two Varsity Cheerleaders. During the rest of the week, the teams work together learning all that is re- quired. This year that meant two peels, tw o mounts, a cartwheel or split, per- forming an original cheer and a required cheer. The spirit of everyone was at a peak. The final job of judging was rough, but finally it was over. And the senior cheerleaders prepared to give up their p la c e s to the four girls who completed the new Varsity team: Cheryl Foucher, Liz Pace, Noreen Madigan, and Virginia Bosch. Redeemer students responded with a total count of 500 kits which will be sent immediately to Viet Nam. Scouts Sight Interlachen By Margaret Malone '68 Arts Fantasy - 1 Express Myself was the theme for the Senior Girl Scout Arts Conference held in Traverse City, Mich- igan. Two Redeemerites, Denise Hebert and Margaret Malone, were among the seventeenDetroitScouts chosen from the two-thousand in the council. The w e ek -end's activities included a fashion show, a talent show, a banquet, and group sessions on the various arts, including creative writing, vocal music, and Japanese art. The highlight of the trip was the tour of Interlochen Arts Academy, the inter; nationally famous m u s '1 c c a m p . The scouts w e r e impressed by the spirit of concentration and perfectionism found there. Those kids are fantastic! one Indiana girl exclaimed; Seven hours of school a day, besides four hours prac- ticing their music! There are tentative plans for another Arts Conference to be held in Detroit; if confirmed, the Detroit representatives plan to become active participants. Jerry Kohl to Speak on Russia, May 6 BY Barbara Brombach '66 Jerry spent three weeks studying, and talking to the Russian people. He gaineda proficiency in the language and an understanding of the people that cannot be gained from books. Although the tour was rather limited in scope, Jerry was able to visit some places on his own. These were of even greater interest than the planned tour. He will be able to give the students some first-hand information about the economic conditions of the people, their living conditions, and their modes of transportation most of which are very primitive. Jerry will tell about his stay in Moscow, Kiev, Lenin- Redeemer willwelcome back Alumnus Jerry Kohl of the Class of '62, who will give the students a resume of his trip to Russia last summer, on May 6. Jerry was one of two Notre Dame stu- dents who was chosen to go to Russia un- der the Experiment of National Living Program. This program is a government grant which appropriates funds to send a student to study the culture and customs of a foreign country. ENTINEL Vol XI Holy Redeemer High School, Detroit, Michigan April 29, 1966 No. 7 Senior Takes Math Award at Cobo Senior Valerie Michalski who partici- pated in the Annual Science Fair at Cobo Hall with her entr y Making Matrices Meaningful placed sixth in the Mathema- tics Department. She received a plaque anda blue ribbon, indicating outstanding achievement. ' MM: Valerie Michalski explains the practical uses of matrix algebra as illustrated in her prize-winning project. Valerie firstbecame interested in ma- trices through her work in the Math Club. Last summer she applied for a two week s e minar at the University of Michigan and received a grant. Here she became even more interested in matrices. Then, when the school year'rolled around and Valeriewanted toenter the Fair, she de- cided to make use of her experience with matrices. Asked to explain her project Valerie gave this summary: Since the purpose of my project was to make matrices meaningful I started out by summarizing all the theories and properties of matrices. At the beginning of the year in Math IV, we learned that the s et of real numbers was an Abelian l groupwith respectto the operations, ad- ; dition and multiplication. Iwanted to find out if matrices were similar to real num- ibers in this respect. 1 This comparison was an important step in the project. Secondly, I explored the helpful role of matrices in solving certain systems such as linear equations, factorization of tri- nomials, quaternions and eigenvectors. Aside fr om these known uses, I raised the question as to whether matrices could be useful in everyday life. S cientists have appliedthem t0 the quantum theory, and to the theory of relativity, but I show- ed, by a few problems, how anyone can use matrices for such simple things as counting the number of vitamins we con- sume, or to find out the prices of ar- ticles. grad and Helsinki. He will show slides of Red Square, the tombs of Lenin and Stalin, and some churches which have been converted into museums and market places. He promises to present some facts on the dangers of the Black Market as it 0p- erates in Russia and will comment on the belief that religion seems to be dead be- cause it has been excluded in the training of Russia's youth. WhenJerrywas a student at Redeemer he was Student Council President, and graduated as Class Valedictorian. He plans to continue his studies in post graduate work and will teach while he is earning his Master's degree. He was introduced to French by Sister Ann Paul during his high school days and has taken a deep interest in the study of languages. He has a major in Russian and five years of French. Next year he will be studying the Chinese language. Jerry will graduate from Notre Dame in June as a member of the Blue Circle Honor Society. This Honor Society is so selective that it consists of only forty members selected from approximately 6000 students. French Teacher Becomes French Summer Tourist Sister Ann Paul, head of the French Department at Redeemer, has been cno- sen to spend forty-two days in France, as the guide of ten young ladies from the Detroit ar e a, who will study in France this summer. The trip is sponsored by the American Institute for Foreign Study, a nation-wide association of high school students and teachers, formed to promote the under- standing of foreign countries, their lang- uages, and customs. On the bas is of her knowledge of the French language, her acquaintance with the customs and culture of France, and her experience with young people, Sister was suggested as a possible guide to the Institute's Board of Advisors, by Sister Thomas Aquinas, the Dean of Studies of the IHM community. The group will leave Kennedy Airport on Trans -International Airways DC-8 jet flight t1062 to London. After a four day visit to London, they will move on to Le H avre , France. Since the trip is mainlyfor summer study, the group will stay at the University of Dijon at Dijon, France. After a thirty-day stay at the Univer- sity, the gr oup will visit Paris for the remaining four days. On the morning of August 4, theywill leave from Le Bourget Airport, Paris, and will arrive at Ken- nedyAirport that same afternoon. From there they will fly to Detroit. Sister Ann Paul points out places of in- terestin France to Soph French students, Laura Piekarski and Betsy Mahon.

Candidates are busy getting homeroom endorse- ments and preparing campaign speeches. The outcome of this election just as the out- come of any other, will depend on the quality of the candidates. Local and National elections are faced with the problems of apathetic and indifferent citizens who fail to get to the polls. The interested citizen is an informed voter. He takes time to find out about the best qualified candidates, because he knows that the mat- ter of a smooth running government is not trivial. In previous years, Student Council elections have not been confronted with the prob- lem of students not voting. The problem has been: voting by the unconcerned few; those who couldn't care less who gets aposition on the council. These votes may not go to the best qualified people. To avoid these stray votes, 9. new voting system has been sug- gested, This system would be based on our local and national voting system. Only those students who would be interested enough to register and obtain a registration card would be allowed to vote. The candidates for SC officers are all well qualified. According to the Constitution they must haveone year's experience on the council to run, thus they are aware of what jobs mustbe done. Students voting for these candidates should be particularly aware of what specific leadership abilities of each, in respect to the office sought. a Though Student Council representatives are lower in official rank than officers, their jobs are equally important. Because they come in contact with a great number of stu- 1 dents, the job of rep requires that a person have the abilities of leadership, and be able to communicate ideas. Not only must a future rep have these qualities, ;he must have the sincere desire to accomplish and improve both things and situations for the better- ment of the student body as well as the faculty. The elections ar e not to be considered popularity polls as such, but the candidate should be one with whom the members of his homeroom'can get along. The candidate must be someone in whom tru s t can be placed; someone who can use' good'judgement when he must vote without consulting his homeroom. Before you go to the polls May 13, weigh carefully the qualifications of the candi- a dates, then, make your vote really count. I a Drama Guild Selects 'Green Pusturesl By Sue Omilian '67 The Redeemer Drama Guild will open their official season with the presentation of Green Pastures on M ay 13, 14 and 15. Under the direction of Miss Lucy Mamo, a '63 R e d e e m e r Alumna, the members will perform and work behind stage with scenery and props. The majority of the me mber s of the cast are Redeemerites, including grade and highschool students as well as mar- ried couples. Leading men include Vincent Garity, playing God; Lester Goodchild as Moses; Gerry Schager as Noah. The idea of the Drama Guild originated with Miss Mamo early in the fall, and took shape as tryouts began in October 1965. She formed the Guild in conjunction with Holy Redeemer Parish as a parish project. Miss Mamo's show biz background includes some theatrical work and sev- eral appearances onWJBK TVin Detroit. Some students will remember her ap- pearance in high school productions when she was a student. Miss Mamo is relying on the success of this first production to put the Guild's share of profits toward a future Drama Guild Scholarship. S u ch a scholarship would finance the fir st year of college foraRedeemer graduate, who is a mem- ber of the guild and rates high scholas- tically. She plans to add to the initial fund through additional plays. The play, Green Pastures, is being fi- nanced through the s ale of patrons and sponsors. The Student Council is spon- soring the ticket drive, and is offering five trophy points to the winning class, and ten dollars to the highest individual seller.

The Jun- ior Round Table is an organization which strives to promote respect, friendship and understanding among high school stu- dents of all races and creeds. This year's institute was sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews and held at Highland Park High.

Gary Callendar, Sue King, Nancy Welch, and Marcia Gogolowski at the car wash. Because the Publicity Committee was very active in advertising the Easter Special Car Wash , and because the car washers gave each car that extra special s hine , there were many satisfied cus- tomers, mostly Redeemer parishioners and students who needed a car wash and wanted to help a good cause. The work was accomplished under the supervision of Mr. S alaz ar and Anita Surma. When the Wash opened at nine o'clock there were four cars W aiting. From then on the line of cars never let up.. Cecilia Garcia, WhO was the official cashier and window washer kept the busy group informed of their financial status. By one o 'c 10 ck the group had made $50. 00 and had run out of dry rags.

Students Take Over Classes By Nancy Kieleszewski '68 Since the beginning of the year, the members of the Future Teachers Club have viewed movies on teaching, have participated in workshops at the Uni- versity of Detroit, and have had dis- cussions on the various techniques of teaching. Now they are ready to show what they have learned. Since the classroom is obviously the best place to learn to teach, the student teachers desired to take over a class or two to gain experience. The first step was to gain the consent of the class teachers, and then to con- sult her about the material to be presen- ted on the day. The consent was easily gained, and on April 27 the student teachers sallied forth in search of experience. Patrick McCarthy, President of the club said that the teachers approve of this project, mainly because they want to help give these prospective teachers a real taste of teaching in a real live or lively classroom situation. Sister Anne Therese, moderator of the club pronounced the day's activities a success. Refreshedandrested teachers returned to their classes withnewivigor.' 4 SENTINEL April 29, 1966 Czeativitq is. . . m: inspimtion, a moob, The other dayI was informed of a das- tardly plot that could have stunned the world for months, had it been completely Successful. It seems thatSEEB, the So- ciety for the Extinction of the Easter Bun- ny, had deVised a formula by which they could, indirectly, put the above mention- ed rabbit on an unfriendly basis with many of his little friends. But, luckily, this was basedon a falsely assumed assump- tion. SEEB figured to make the Easter Bunny tail-heavy by adding powdered lead to the egg paint. When this mixture dried it was supposed to have a disheartening effect on the hopping ability of the famous hare. This brings us to the false assumption. SEEB assumed that the rabbit used his tail to paint the eggs ., but, as all me mbers of SEEBE, Society for the Extinction of Easter Bunny Extinguishers, know , he does not use his tail at all. This false assumption also brings into the story our two heroes, Spot and Puff. These two are the masterminds of an or- ganization of masterminds, MEEW, or, Mass Easter EggWorkers, and obviously helps the popu lar rabbit in his annual masterpiece. Getting back to the near disaster, SEEB came closer to success than they realiz- ed. It has long been a p ractice of MEEW to te st the sacred. paint before it is put into mass use, but being anxious, the re- nowned rabbit started work before it was tested. This anxiousness temporarily costhim the use of his ears because they are precisely what he uses to paint with. When confrontedwith this horrible hap- pening, S pot and Puff activated MEEW which in turn activated SEEBE which in turn brought the famous enemy of e vi 1, Mighty Mouse, a close relative of Bat Man on the scene. Mighty Mouse was then able to make the egg delivery in the nick of time to save the world. Had it not been for the quick-thinking of Spot and Puff, the parks of the U. S. would have been destroyedlby frustrated little Easter Egg seekers. In retrospect, it is possible the orga- nization MEEW seems vaguely familiar. This is probably because Puff, the found- er, has informed many of his cat friends of the organization. They in turn spread its fame by the simple, but altered, ex- clamation, MEW. Woman's Psalm By Cecilia Kieleszewski '66 The strength I posess is like to the surging waves rushing to shore. My faith is firm like the rock My love, the morning mist--all- enveloping but never ending Wisdom I am--the leaning stick of my people. My purpose gleams before me, a true light - I follow always. I believe in man - in me strength he finds Gentle am I - roses sweet whisper their dreams to me. Truth is my rainment - it reflects my beauty to all. Delight I bring to children, comfort to the forsaken. My Lord's bosom swells at my name. He is at my side always. To Be Alive By Mary Sue Gallagher '68 I walked and I saw a flower, pale and fragile, and its sweetness perfumed the air around me. I saw a bird building a nest and he sang for me. I saw a willow tree swaying in the breeze and its slender leaves brushed my face with their coolness as I passed by. I looked and I saw the sky and it seemed bluer just for me. I saw my love and I felt a joy that I had never known before springing from deep inside me and I finally realized what it is to be alive. The Obscure Secret By Les Goodchild '66 'Simple'. Yes, 'simple'. A beguiling word; meaning, well, meaning every- thing. Everything in us, that has not been mutilated by years of hate, bigotry, dis- ease, famine, confusion, insanity, war, and even peace. But that which has not been mutilated by these, has ruled victor, has ruled un- conquered. This is man's simple human nature free from corruption. The growth of a plant, the staged cli- max of a sunset, the beauty of dew on a blade of grass, all Nature's realm, has stood firm against these invaders. She has looked mockingly in our face; has satirized us for eons of time. Yet, we have not paid her heed; we have been the saps, going our merry way. For her joy, her happiness, her contentment, her p eace has been manifested in a simple one-syllable word: LIFE. LIFE: we have forgotten it, lost it to the vultures of time, left it for the evap- orating rays of the noon-day sun. We have lost our chance for regaining it by creating a greedy, self-demanding' Utopia, full of red lights, green buttons, and yellow ticker tape . We have filled our chests with rusting metal and rotting grain, throwing the secret of life to the winds. Let us go out--let us redeem that which has been discarded! Let us find our val- ues, not ingreat masterpieces 'of crea- tion, not in towering manifestations of man's mind but in - in - look! seek! the? key - 21 BLADE OF GRASS.

If lodged inacrack of a rock, in time its strength will split it. It can be stepped on-yet still live. BEAUTIFUL: It is structurally com- plete, full, breathless, and has a single purpose: to grow. It is magnificent in its simplicity, yet staggers the imagina- tion when amassed in numbers. KIND: Yes, grass is kind. It can com- fort those who rest on it, hide those t small enough for protection, and is used as food - yet it does not complain. l If we realize it, a blade of grass can j almost stand anything - but it too, like man, can die.

You have been beaten and tossed, and thrown from shore to shore. T0 the seemingly mighty you are no longer worthy of consideration, for you have dared to go alone --no longer united with the security of greatness. And this is the way you will remain --a nothing until an individual who has experienced the difficult and the lonely with you discovers your beauty and proclaims you --a source of inspiration. 6 SENTINEL Apri129 1966 Girls Capture Trophies By Cecilia Garcia '67 The Girls' Varsity and Junior Varsity teams ended the season by bringing home two trophies from the St. Alphonsus post- season tournaments.

The Lions quickly put its first two runs on the scoreboard in the first inning by gathering four hits off the St. Gregory Nine. St. Greg was not far behind as a streak of wildness which saw the bases filled withwalks and then a two-run single notched the score at 2-2. Redeemer picked up its winning run on asingle, the man stole second and scored on another single. The Lions compiled seven hits, three stolenbases, sixteen strike-outs, and no errors in winning its opener. Coach Ziemba demonstrates the bunt to the baseball team. First row: Jim Choate, Mark Gogolowski, Jim Wawrzyniec, John Saaye, Mike Holuta, Frank Flores, Gonzalo Gonzales, Dave Grunau, Rich Zamojski, Gary Vignary, Pat Gregory, Angel Garcia, Terry Cupples, Jeff Podczervinski, Marty Sheedy, and Bothengle. Truckmen Get lute Start; Post Dismal 0-3 Recond Catcher Mark Gogolowski and bat man George Davila get ready for the pitch. Despiteafine pitching performance by Terry Cupples, Redeemer's Lions were defeated by Shrine in a close 2 to 1 de- cision. Terry's twelve strikeouts proved worthless as the Redeemer bats were si- lenced to only three hits. Shrine's two-run attack consisted of a single, walk, and another single in se- quence. Mark Gogolowski batted in Pat Gregory for Redeemer's lone tally. The baseball team sprints down the court. Redeemer's thin clads met defeat in their first track outing against St. Cath- erine. Itwas anon-league meet and was held at Southwestern, the Lions' home track. Times were a little off due to the high winds and low temperature. Redeemer 's first league encounter was with Bishop Gallagher at Osborne High. It was a sunny, warm, Easter vacation Wednesday, a little on the windy side as both teams took the field. Left to right: Gary Vignary, Rich Zamojski, Jim Warwzyniec, John Saaye, Mark Gogolowski, Dave Grunau, Jim Choate, George Davila, Mike Holuta, Marty Sheedy, Frank Cogswell, Bob Gengle. Redeemer did well in the field events with firsts in the broad jump by Philip Milkie, and shot putt by Dave Duarte, both juniors. Seconds were taken by Sourbeck in the high jump and Hernandez in the pole vault . Paul Frison and Jerry Schager tied for third in the high jump. The Lions had a two-point lead 19-17 going into the track events. The Lions were hurt by lack of experience. Gal- lagher High was sweeping everything up to the high hurdles when a first was ta- ken by a soph, Frank Borg, who later went on and took a third in the low hur- dles. Sourbeck captured firsts in both the 100 and 220 yard, but to no avail as Bishop Gallagher took the meet 72-37. The following Sunday when most stu- dents were complaining about going back to school, Redeemer's thin clads met the Divine Child Falcons at the Henry Ford Community College. The Lions were ahead 20-16 at the end of the field events. Redeemer took first in the highjump, pole vault, and shot putt by Sourbeck, Hernandez, and Duarte. Paul Frison took a second in the high jump with thirds in the pole vault and the shot putt by Hill and Coto respectively. The track events went much the same as previous meets. John Maas placed second in the 440 yard and Sourbeck tied in both the 100 and 220 yard. It was Divine Child's meet 76-33. 8 SENTINEL me vs I .w Freshmen Frances Losoncy, Patricia Taraban, Christine Markey, Claudia Polski, and Kathy McCarthy display a few of the glory banners that transformed Room 312 into a miniature Vatican Pavilion. Glory Banners Unfurl Frosh Religious Spirit The Freshman girls have discovered anewway of expressing and interpreting some of the most challenging ideas and ideals of Christianity. They are making Glory Banners. A Glory Banner is an attempt to ex- press by means of symbols, the great themes of Love, Service, Peace, Life, Christian Witness, and Commitment. The medium is usually cloth, or felt, or any material that would constitute a banner. Letters and figures are affixed inacolorful design. Some of the banners are artistic, some of them are colorful, and all of them are meaningful. One girl presented the word Love in letters of varying sizes to show the dif- ferent degrees of love, and she formed a large Chiro out of chains, in which All Christians Are A Link. :qu'r ARRIED Mr and Mrs :Donald Ziemba wage The Glory Banners are displayed in Sister Louis Gillet's room. Sister got the idea last summer when she vis ited the New York World's Fair. Huge Glory Banners hung from the ceiling of the Va- tican Pavilion. One freshman girl remarked that al- though the banners were simple to make they requireda great deal of thought be- fore a subject was chosen. After you have finished it, she added, you just don't forget about it very soon. The idea stays with you, and it grows. May I7 Set as Night of Moonlight and Roses Moonlight and Roses! That will re- mind many people of more than a song after the night of May 17. It is the theme of the Junior-Senior Prom. The Prom will be held at the Whittier Hotel in Downtown Detroit. Dinner will be served in the Crystal Ballroom. Bob Durant's Orchestra will highlight the evening. Although the final number of prom- goers has not yet been tallied, an early estimate indicates that it will surpass last year's record of 118 couples. Dooley Kits for Viet Nam: IMade in Redeemert The Thomas A. Dooley Foundation has asked Redeemer students to cooperate with them in an endeavor to fulfill a need in Viet Nam. The Foundation has been asked to provide the children of Viet Nam with 350,000 Dooley Kits. A DooleyKitis a small cloth bag made from scraps of colored material and con- taining useful items such as combs, soap, toothbrushes, bandaids, washcloths, and pencils and writing paper. Small toys such as rubber balls and plastic dolls are very acceptable. The bags which give joy to Vietnamese children are named after Doctor Tom A. Dooley, who labored as a doctor among the poor people of VietNam, and who died of cancer, after giving his life to those who needed him. Sister Josepha and the Sewing Classes have adopted the project enthusiastically and Dooley bags are being made by the dozens with remnants of cloth from the dresses, suits, aprons, and even granny dresses made by the Class. Sister Berchmans, moderator of'the Catholic Students Mission Crusade has taken on this project and hopes, with the cooperation of the entire school, to reach the quota, and even to top it. AII I Have to Give Anonymous If the sun, moon, and stars, If the glory of a dew drop, Of falling snowflakes, Of a lone sea gull Were mine to give you, I would give them all to you.

SENTINEL V01 XI Holy Redeemer High School, Detroit 9, Michigan, March 31, 1966 No. 6 Early Buzzers Trap Panel on Quiz iEm Holy Redeemer was outscored by its opponent, St. Ladislaus 0n Quiz 'Em On The Air 780-640, or an average of three questions. The participants Leonard Nosal, Mary Abela, Sandra Pomicter, and Ramona Misiunas, together with Mr. Shirkey who coached them, spent much time and put forth much effort, but it just wasn't quite enough. According to the panelists, the schoolfrom Hamtramck took more of the chances on early buzzers, while the Re- deemerites hesitated to run the risk of penalties. The winner usually has a choice of a movie projector or a record player, and the runner-up must take a record player . Since St. Ladislaus already had a movie projector they chose the record player. As there was only one projector and one recordplayer in the studio, the judge asked Mr. Shirkey if the school would ac- cept the projector. Needless to say, Mr. Shirkey said, Yes! Even without a victory, the work was not in vain, since for most of the Re- deemerites it was the first time they had been in a television studio. As they en- tered the studio, they were greeted by a questionfrom the St. Ladislaus panelist. Why is Africa cool? As yet no one has that answer. Both panels received their preliminary instructions from Miss Bernice Thayer, one of the judges. She immediately rec- ognized Mr. Shirkey as the son of one of the Detroit News Photographers. K utkus Repeats Senior Mindaugas Kutkus, two-year top winner in the Michigan Math Test illus- trates the elliptic graph. Are we supposed to know about the latest sales, too? Sandra Pomicter and Ramona Misiunas confer while Mary Abela and Leonard Nosal discuss sports news in prepara- tion for their debut on Quiz 'Em on the Air. The party was then taken to the taping room, where the panel boxes and tele- vision cameras were set up. What impressed, or rather, alarmed the panelists was the fact that most of the foam covering on the panel box had been clawedoff byformer nervous contestants. After thirty minutes of quick thinking, and some forgetting, the final buzzer put an end to the 1966 Quiz 'Em. State Math Honor Last year, Mindaugas Kutkus scored high on the Michigan Math Test, but this year he broke his own record. He placed thirty-eighth out of more than 27, 000 stu- dents who took the first part of the test. Any Math student was eligible to take the first part of the test but only 1169 of the participants remained eligible for the second part. In his second year as a finalist Min- daugas reached the top two-tenths of one percent missing a Math scholarship by only two points. Most of the students in the competition had the advantage of special advanced math courses. Redeemer does not offer this type of course but his teachers main- tain that Mindaugas has done a great deal of extra study on his own. A creative mathematician, Mindaugas plans to havea double major in Math and Physics atUof M, and afterwards hopes to help in the space effort. Students Attend Model UN The University of Detroit has invited Redeemer's delegations fromfour coun- tries to attend the seventh annual Model UN. The countries represented by Re- deemer students are India, Cambodia, Mongolia, and the Dominican Republic. It will be a three-day stand, from the 25th to the 27th of March, with regis- tration, speeches, and meetings. One question that will be discussed is the Legal Aspect of Peaceful Uses in Outer Space. Others concern security, trusteeship, economy, and humanitarian problems. Keynote speakers will be G. Mennen Nilliams, J. Paul Phillips, and some real delegates to the UN from Iran and the Congo. Girls Miss West Side Title. A successful basketball season for the Girls' Varsity and Junior Varsity ended with a near championship. In the finals of the St. Alphonsus Basketball Tourna- ment the Redeemer Varsity was defeated by St. Alphonsus 14-13. The J V team was also defeated by St. Alphonsus 20-9. Both Redeemer teams ended the season, ranking third in the CYO League. The Varsity was unable to participate in city competition because they were un- able to find a sponsor. 2 SENTINEL March 31, 1966 T 00 Soon IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH 1984-- Twen ty Years WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY These are the principles ofasociety, a Utopia, in George Orwell's book, 1984. This future generation lives in fear of mind investigators, the Thought Police, who vaporize anyone who questions, who feels, who loves. An advanced dictatorial unit, The Inner Party, seeks to supress man to an unperson, seeks to stereotype him, by elimin- ating his individual nature, his will and his freedom. It seeks to supplant God with Big Brother. Is this 1984 so different, so far-fetched from now, from 1966? Of course, our government isn'tBig Brother, but what about man himself. Is he not in his created society, trying to embrace theseprinciples? What is accepted? 'What is in? and What will people say? are allrealities of our conformist society, of our group worship. No longer is man valued for himself, but now we, the children of Eve, fall on our faces and cry to our god, Society, I needacar. I must haveamink. I must be rich, or successful. Have we unknowingly made our own demanding, consuming, greedy, Big Brother? This Big Brother we have created has already made the rules for 1984 of our own Utopia. He has made his extremist, his passivist, his conformist war parties in the all too fertile soil of the teen, the young idealist. His generals are the staunch adults of the militant fifties. WAR IS PEACE Policies of the generals: Kill or be killed. To get some place in business you have to step on people, and you gotta get what ya can. Is not this peace to many people? Is not this the law of our peaceful society? Do we not commit crime and enjoy it? How often do we mutilate the feelings and the hopes of others and just brush it off? How often do we knock people down and say, in effect, You're stupid. Our answer: Very often. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY Policies of the generals: Don'tthink! Don't speakout! Keep quiet! It's accepted so what's your problem? Isn't hiding under the blanket of society, freedom to many? Are we content, so content, to remain secure and happy with what the crowd demands ? Is it not good to be a vegetable--non-thinking? Is not this slavery freedom from the pain of the world? Our answer: Yes! IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH Policies of the generals: If you know too much you're dangerous. What do the gangs think about school, knowledge, culture? How often is the brain ridiculed? How often do people rest in self-satisfaction of their knowledge? How often do they refuse to face the truth? Our answer: Very often! These policies show man's nature being vaporized. The murderer is Society. We do things for the wrong purpose, for money, for status, or for power. We have seen all too clearly the apathy of today's rank and file. Murders, rapes, gang fights go on, and people are complacent. Do we not call men like ourselves, niggers? Our answer: Of course! How long will this go on? Will we continue to live by these principles? Will we re- main apathetic when someone is being knifed? Or, will we fight when someone is attacked. Will we be willing to give our lives for others ? Will we finally stand back, look, and see what we are doing? Our answer: It remains only a question! Grape Juice - Wanted Television commercials are often con- sidered ridiculous because of the exag- gerated situations they present. Some commercials, in contrast can be sized up and found quite true. Everyone who at one time or another has watched television has seen the com- mercialinwhicha woman and her family have become listless and have slumped into the valley of fatigue. Their method of revival is to drink a glass of grape juice. That same valley of fatigue is now catching many a Redeemerite. The set- ting is perfect. There is no spring pro- duction to get excited about, there are no tickets to sell, there are no more games or players to cheer for, the weather is warm, there are less than forty days of school left, and no one feels like doing very much any more. The fourth and last quarter of the year is beginning. It is the last opportunity we will have to perk up and aim at fin- ishing the year off well. For the seniors, that letter of accep- tance from the college doesn't mean that the Admissions Office will close its eyes to your final marks. For everyone else the school year that is marred by end of the year slump can never be regained. We have no glass of grape juice that is powerful enough to revive us, but we do have willpower, whichif put to work can do tremendous things. All the energy we can muster should be aimed at finishing agoodschool year with, ifpossible, even more enthusiasm than we began it with. EDITORIAL PAGE No. 6 Seanel V01.

SENTINEL 3 Mrs. Lewis demonstrates the new short- hand dictation equipment as she prepares to run the three speed tapes. 'Electronic Classroom' Speeds Shorthund Skills Old-fashioned Gregg shorthand is now being taught with modern electronics at Redeemer. The recently acquired equip- ment, housed in Room 303, consists of three tape recorders and twenty-six in- dividual listening posts. This electronic classroom is simi- lar in operation to the Language Lab. Each listening post consists of a portable receiver, which accommodates two stu- dents, eachofwhom has aseparate head- set. The two students must agree on the speed and volume of the dictation they will take. Choral Rates Excellent In the annual Choral Adjudication held on March 20 at Dominican High School, the Redeemer Choral, under the direc- tion of Sister Georglyn, brought home a rating of Excellent. The two numbers sung by the Choral were Brahms' How Lovely Is Thy Dwel- ling Place, and All Creatures of Our God and King by Chapman. The Choral began intensive practice for the Adjudication just after My Fair Lady took her last bow. Although the time was short. said Sister Georglyn, the Choral took up the challenge and ex- ceeded their expectations. The fact that two other choral groups also sang How Lovely ls Thy Dwelling Place, was a surprise which gave the Redeemerites a moment of uneasiness . The following Friday, since the student body seldom has the opportunity to hear them, the Choralperformed at Assembly. They added to their Adjudication rep- ertoire several semi-classical and pop- ular numbers and featured several 5010 numbers. The soloists were Nancy Kieliszewski, Brian Forintos, and Pamela Stanczak. Jim Hetner, Marty Colbeck, and Tom Trahey treated the students to a re-do of Little Bit of Luck, of My Fair Lady fame, only a trifle subdued. One of three different speeds being transmitted may be selected for practice. The classroom atmosphere is one of ab solute silence broken only by the rus- tle of paper when the girls turn pages as they feverishly write in script. The new equipment provides a chal- lenge to shorthand students at all levels because each student works at her own dictation speed. Mrs. Barbara Lewis, who teaches the course, is most enthusiastic about the equipment. She said that as far as she knows, Redeemer is the only high school in the city of Detroit, or its vicinity, to have its own electronic shorthand lab. One of the greatest advantages is that the system is mobile. There are no wires running across the room. Flexibility and speed are the two main improvements that characterize the elec- tronic business classroom. NHS Re wards Scholarship By Bev Broniak '68 This year, the National Honor Society kept some traditions but used some new ideas in the Induction Ceremony. PresidentJames Hetner explained the aims and the requirements of the Honor Society and then turned the mike over to Ramona Misiunas, Vice-President; and Susan Omilian, Secretary. They intro- duced the new members by giving a brief commentary on the personality and ac- tivities of each. After the new and old members recited the Honor Society Pledge, Mother Ann Mary, Principal, addressed the student body. She congratulated not only those who had attained membership in the Society but also those who had done their best. Father Monroe then congratulated the students, and endedwith words of praise for the JV Team who have attained the championship, and the cast and all who participated in the recent production of the musical, My Fair Lady. James Hetner ended the ceremony by saying that he hoped the induction would prove to be an incentive for the fresh- men to try for membership. FNC Aids Cancer Society Anyone who happened to walk by the Guidance Center on Saturday, March 19, would have seen the Future Nurses' Club at work. Their employer was the Na- tional Cancer Foundation; and their work was to stamp, sort, and count brochures to be passed out during the Foundation's door-to-door campaign in April. Mr. DavidScott, representative of the Foundation thanked the girls, and told them that a Certificate of Appreciation would be sent to the school. Sister Marie Angela, Librarian, Joins Ranks of Authors Sister Marie Angela, a high school li- brarian, who has spent hours cataloguing the books of other authors, has now writ- ten one of her own. Her first book, just off the press, Teens Triumphant is a series of biographical sketches of teen- age saints. The title, Sister explained, refers to the saints as heroes and heroines who were confronted by moral dilemmas, made the right decisions, and became spiritual successes. Sister says also, I hope that this book willinspire the readers to couple a true sense of individualism and responsibility with the grace ofGod, to become a saint. This book will be a success if even one person learns to love these heroes and heroines and love God as they did. The book is published by the Paulist Press and is available in the regular ed- ition and in paperback. Sister Marie Angela looks pleased as she autographs a copy of her book. 4 SENTINE L March 31, 1966 Hamsters Inherit Happy Home By Sister M. Berchmans This squirming, squiggling handful of animation represents the first success the Biology Department has had in its genetics experiment to determine the dominance of coat color and pattern in hamsters. Jeargens Angst is holding the brand new hamsters. Charlie Brown is the saddle-backed brown and white one. The one clambering over the others isPeanuts, and Lucy and Patty are making their way over Jeargens' palms. Singers Join Honor Choral By Margaret Malone '68 Three Redeemer Choral members took part in the first annual choral night fea- turing parochial high school singers and instrumentalists. Those chosen for this honor are Helga Abela, James Hetner, and Nancy Kieliszewski. Conducting the l70-voice Honor Chorus was Dr. C. Alexander Peloquin, nation- ally known for his Peloquin Choral. The concertwas presented by the par- ochial schools in conjunction with the De- troit Unit of the Catholic Music Educa- tors Association. The singers were se- lected from all Archdiocesan schools. Sister Georglyn selected the singers from Redeemer on the basis of voice, performance, andgeneral participation. The four hamsters are the offspring of an orange and white saddle-backed female, and a golden brown male. By great good fortune the litter dem- onstrates perfectly the Laws of Prob- ability bothwith regard to the sex of the offspring, and with regard to coat color and marking. Two are males and two are females; three of them inherited the brown coat of the father, and one tCharlie Browni has the brown and white saddle markings of the mother. This perfect321ratio indicates that the father was a heterozygous golden ham- ster, and that the mother was heterozy- gous recessive for saddle-back marking. None of the hamsters has the orange coloring of the mother. Has it been lost? Will it show up again? Can the brown hamsters have saddle-backed off- spring? The answers to these questions may be answered early next year, when two crosses of the litter will be made and the results added to the growing pedigree of the lab animals. Data Matches Compatibles By Chris Bickes '68 ?fi The latest addition to the computer age, the computer dance has arrived at Re- deemer, with all buttons polished and all wires coiled. For this dance, sponsored by the Stu- dent Council, a special computer will match up every boy and girl who filled outa questionnaire which inquired about favorite topics, music, hobbies, and any special qualities admired in others. At the dance, planned for Apri129, each couple must remain together for at least a half hour. These are the only plans that have been published. So far the manner of meeting, the name of the band, and the kind of refreshments are top secrets of the Student Council. Jim Egan and Lester Goodchild congrat- ulate each other on their election to TAV. Seniors Elected Teen Committee Officers The Challenge, nearing its first anni- versaryhas grown and grown. Now num- bering more than 500 members, living everywhere fromDraytonPlains, Michi- gan to Toronto Canada, communication between the Challengers and the program itself has begun to be a problem. To meet the problem, a committee was formed to allow mutual communication. The committee is called TAV which is Challenge code for Teen Ad-Visors. The officers of TAV are Lester Good- child, President; and Jim Egan, Second Vice-President. Both are Challengers from Redeemer. Officers from other schools are John Mathe, First Vice-President; and Buzz Spenzeski, Treasurer. These boys were elected by a group of Challengers who were called to form the committee. In the past, the Bell Letter, the Chal- lenge newspaper, provided an information link only to the Challengers. Now there is needfora feed back to the decisions of the Senior Board who run the program. As Al McNeeley, Challenge director, said, If an organization is to live it must grow. We must be informed about what kids want and what they're doing. In the future the TAV will act as this link, forming a communication center for the fiftyschools and parishes associated with the Challenge. They will mail re- ports monthly into TAV Headquarters at Casa Maria Community Center. The members hope that the Challenge will now have an effective two-way com-7 munication system.

March 31, 1966 SENTINEL 5 Alumni Begin Careers; Set Sights for Success 9 w A year ago the senior class of '65 was roaming the halls of Redeemer, but today they are just roaming. Many became green freshmen again last September and have been hitting the books at college. Within the collegiate whirl, two former Redeemerites have been recognized for their outstanding scholastic achieve ment. The University of Michigan awarded Diane Maskeny the Villiam J . Branstrom Freshman Award, for ranking in the up- per seven percent of her class. Marygrove's Alpha Lambda Delta has elected Lorrain Grabow'ski to their chap- ter for outstanding scholastic achieve- ment. The Alpha Lambda Delta is a na - tional honor sorority for freshmenand sophomores who have attained a 2. 5 or a B plus average. Other 65'ers are preparing for a fu- ture in religious life. Anne Boutt is now Sister Ann Kathleen of the Carmelite Sisters, and is stationed at the MaryManning Walsh Home in New York until April 11 when she will receive her first habit at their Motherhouse.

Helen Bourgoin entered the Glenmary Order and she is now living at Christ the King Convent in Ohio. She writes glowing letters home, mostly about her work. In a recent letter she writes: Guesswhat! I'mworking with Scouts. Girl Scouts! Whoopee! There is both a Brownie and a Junior troop in town. So far we OOUW have enough for a Cadette troop, but we would like to atart one. On the masculine side, Harold Barkley is following the life of a Jesuit Brother, and is stationed at Colombiere College in Clarkston, Michigan. As a brother he will be engaged in the spiritual and tem- poral works by which the Jesuit Order serves the Church in our times. Uncle Sam has called several alumni to the Armed Services, and their wan- derings have become worldwide; John Eckman, now of the Marines, is, according to late reports, on his way fromOkinawa to Viet Nam.

It seems that unlike ordinary dogs and cats they do not make a habit of fighting. As a matter of fact they get along quite well together and are on the whole quite genial animals. The only area of corruption centers around one of their unusual pasttimes . Whenever these two are left alone for too long they bring out the cards and be- gin to gamble. Dick, Jane, and Sally have adifficult time keeping them apart. There have arisen a few popular, but as usual, slightly altered sayings, asa result of their illegal ventures. One is See Puff run! Actually this originated as an exclamation of an overly-enthus- iastic on-looker at one of their games. In the original this saying read, See Puff's run! This referred obviously to to the cards dealt the lucky cat. Another is, Boy, Spot sure has a full house. This in no way refers to the available standing room in Spot's casino which is referred to as the doghouse. No, actually, it was another exclam- ation of the same effervescent spectator who was this time astounded at the un- canny luck of the canine better.

March 31, 1966 Hear Those Bells! Don't by Sue King '68 High above Holy Redeemer High towers perhaps the most striking structure in the entire area. The Campanile, 300 feet of concrete and brick, stands proudly sym- bolic of the good will and cooperation of the Redeemer parishioners. The most important part of The Cam- panile is the bell. The first bell, blessed onNovember 13, 1881 by Bishop Borgess, hung in the bell tower atop an old wood- frame church, locatedwhere the rectory now stands. The present bell tower was begun in July, 1925. A year later, on July 4, the rector, Father Dunn, blessed the present chimes, before 2, 000 people. Each of the ten bells is dedicated to a different saint, and was sponsored by two parishioners. This strange-looking contraption is an organ which was used in the past to play melodies of hymns. Those spokes are the pedals. The location of this organ is just below the bell tower. Since the bell has been elec- trified, the organ is no longer used. Juniors Sponsor Plays The Junior Class in collaboration with the Parent-Teacher Guild is sponsoring two theatre parties to be held in April. OnApril l4, Redeemerites will see the stage interpretation of Geroge Bernard Shaw's St. Joan. This play has been called Shaw's mostambitious effort, and was the culmination of an interest in Joan that had begun many years before. St. Joan is a controversial play as well as an inspirational one. Shaw says that in order to have a true understanding of Joan's story one must understand the fundamental institutions of the Middle Ages. In his play he tries to offer evi- dence that makes understanding possible. On April 28, the offering is Shakes- peare's The Tempest. This is one of the bard's most colorful and elaborate plays, and has earned extravagant praise from the critics of the Wayne State pro- duction. c i. What is this? What does it look like? It is the inside of the Big Bell in the Campanile. The picture is from the worm's eye view. The bells are more correctly called chimes. From 1936 to 1942, Rev. Eugene Buhler, pastor, would make the bells play molndinc. AtChristmas the chimes rang out with Silent Night and Joy to the ' Norld. In the middle of the tower is a machine similar to an organ which had pedals to chime the different bells. Now it remains idle, a symbol of the past. At the base of the Campanile, lbehind the Golden Gates is the Baptistry. In- side, the seven Sacraments are done in mosaic on the walls. A small altar is in the front. To the backis a golden door; behind it are staircases and ladders to the bells. ' For many the Campanile brings back many memories of the past. For others the bells ring out the hopes of the future. F uture Frosh Go to Cobo by Tom Lisicki '67 Attention Science Department! Fresh talent is on its wayfrom the Junior High. Five students from across the parking lot have landed their projects in the an- nual Science Fair at Cobo Hall. Eighth grader Joe Rutherford exhibited his results from the tests with reflexes and senses of mice. Fellow classmates Theresa Chlebek's project involvedair pollution; and Dan Wilkens displayed a periodic table. Seventh graders also entered projects. Karen Marsh cultivated plants in scien- tifically controlled environment. Frank Keegan constructed a Hawaiian mandolin that really worked. The exhibits were first entered in the preliminaries at Redeemer, and were judged by high school science teachers, Sister Berchmans, Sister Mary Ivan, and Mr. Shirkey. These and other projects were then entered in the regionals at Western and the five mentioned gained admission to the Science Fair at Cobo. S em'ors March 31, 1966 Win in Overtime, 45-42 By Mike Conway '67 The friendly rivalry which exists be- tween thejunior and senior classes came to a Climax on March16, at the annual Junior-Senior Basketball Game. Gary Vignary, the coach of the Junior team, made this prediction before the game started. The seniors think that they're going to run all over us, but with our fast break, and excellent shooting fromthe outside, we'll give them a hard time, at least.

Jeff Podczervinski displayed a strong defensive game andscoreda lay- up at the end of the first half, tying the encounter 15-15. The Juniors seemed to carry the play throughout the second stanza with re- markable accuracyfromMalta Joe Cam- illeri, and the talented left hand of Frank Flores. As the time ran out the score board sh0wed the Juniors holding the edge 39- 37 but Junior Phil Milkie hadcommittea a foul.

Players Form Varsity Club One of the innovations that has charac- terized the Athletic Department this year is the formation of a Varsity Club. Under the guidance of Mr. McCartney, the officers were elected and the drafting of a constitution was begun. The officers are: President, G e r r y Durocher; Vice-President, Dave Sour- beck; Treasurer, Jim Choate; and Sec- retary, Tom Clark. Gerry Durocher said of the club, It is not meant to bring division between lettermen and non-lettermen, but, on the the contrary, unity among students. The club has already taken strides to show the students that it is not a privi- leged group, by cheering for basketball games, and ushering the WXYZ game. The main objectives of the club are: 1. to further student-athletic relations. 2. to raise funds for athletic department. 3. to effect uniformity in Varsity sweat- ers and jackets. 8 SENTINE L 1966- Senior GerryDurocher, President of the Varsity Club and the Sports Editor of the Sentinel, records and reports the team's achievements. He has also been for two years Redeemer's reporter to the Sports page of the Michigan Catholic. By Gerry Durocher '66 A successful team is not the result of an individual effort. It takes a conglom- eration of team, coach, cheerleaders, and an enthusiastic student body. The past basketball season has had this conglomeration. Students, athletes, the coach, and the cheerleaders worked to make this season successful, if not win- wise, at least spirit-wise. As the basketballseason got under way skepticismwas apparent. Two possible reasons might have been: a new coach, and the lack of an experienced starting five. It didn't take long for the skepticism to be resolved. In the opening game of the year against arch-rival Servite, no better view of the upcoming season could have presented itself. As far as win- lose was concerned, we took the left foot but itwas a victory because there on the Panther's Court, ateam slowly began to jell itself into a typical Lions' team. Redeemer made the winners' column in its next encounter but falt ered in its third attempt. Then the Lions lunged into a six-game victory row. Seven is supposed to be a lucky number but someone forgot to re- mind the team. It was one of those days when the chicken yelled, The sky is fal- ling, only to find it true. The Lions started the cycle again more surely moving towards a playoff berth, when holy red herring the chicken hit again, and the big house went too. With a three-week layoff till the State tournament time, Redeemer kept its eye sharp by tuning up against Central Divi- sion teams. March 31, 1966 With the opening of the District titles on March 2, the tournament was under way. The Lions drew a bye for the open- ing round and stayed out of tournament action until March 4. On Thursday, March 4, the Lions went after St. Ladislaus only to get its toes burned, 65 -6 2, and put an end to the 65-66 basketball season. Coach's Comment Basketball Coach Bill McCartney has these things to say about the outgoing senior members of the Varsity. Chuck Callendar, Captain: Proved to be a game ball player, always performing better in a ball game than in practice. nnntinuous Ioul trouble hurt points per game average. Played almost perfect game in important win against Bishop Gallagher. Despite sitting out the first quarter, Chuck totalled 23 points and played a fine floor game. Terry Cupples: Led the team in both of- fensive and defensive rebounds. Good student of the game. Averaged twelve points per game. With normal develop- ment should be excellent college prospect. Jim Phillips: Probably the most gifted senior. Never reached his potential as scorer. Lacked the drive to become ex- ceptional. Challenged Cupples and Cal - lendar for rebounding leadership all year. The Year Team Spirit Ruled King Lion Dan l3rooks and Lou Peltola get some of Coach McCartney's strategic advice. Danny Brooks: Probably had most drive and endurance of all seniors in practice sessions and ball games. Definitely our most improved player through the year. Averaged in double figures last five ball games. Lou Peltola: Led team in scoring early in year as sixth man. Holds high indivi- dual one game point total of 29 against Class B Semi-finalist Shrine. Lou and MartySheedy paired as probably the best offensive guards in conference. JohnHernandez, BobSeal, Bart Ventura: These boys didn't log much playing time but they represent the type of individual that it is a pleasure to coach and to work with. They earned the respect of their team-mates and each will be a success spiritually, socially, and economically. The JV cheerleaders played an important role in encouraging the team to their final victory.

SENTINEL February 28, 1966 No. 5 Holy Redeemer High School, Detroit 9, Michigan, V01 XI Jay Veeis Capture AA Championship- League Trophy Marks First in School History by Chris Scagnetti '66 Not since the humble beginning of the Junior Varsity at Redeemer, at a used basketball court in the back of the grade school, has a JV team won first place in the AA League. But in 1966, the year of change, the JV's took the trophy, hands down with a 10-2 record. On the road the playing was hard as the team suffered its defeats t0 Servite and to Bishop Gallagher. This had little effect on the team, for between the losses they piled up a nine-game winning streak. Winning wasn't always easy but effort produced some 1, 000 points enabling the team to gain ten victories, averaging 70 points per game. High marksman, Jack Coto, led the team with a 17-point average. The team's defensive strength depends on a well-organized zone press and a x W Frank Borg, James wawrzyniec; Ben Yurkunas, Richl Krisciunas, and Coach Don Ziemba admire the Division Trophy won by the Jay Vee's for the first time in the sports history of Redeemer High School. sharply responsive man-to-man press. Used most effectively against its com- petitors was the teams' fast break which highlighted their already fast-moving of- fense. Not to be forgotten, and probably greatly responsible for the team's suc- cess is Coach Ziemba, who usually works with the team u ntil five o'clock every night. Next year, many of the JV's will move to the Varsity Squad. When Coach was askedhow thiswill affect the Varsity, he said, There's lots of good material here. Theywillhelp beef up the Varsity.

Out of the batcave races our nation's newest hero--Batman. Seeking to foil dastardly criminals, he uses his inexhaustible arsenal of real weapons. Fortunatelyfor Batman, there will al- ways be mobsters, crooks, and madmen to fight. And he will always win. But unfortunately for us our weapons are often ineffective and at times seem to be unreal. Time, our greatest one is limited and is often used improperly. Our life is limited,we have a definite end, a definite stopping place. There'll be a time when we will not return in the next episode to continue on our crusade. Batman's life is too fantastic to be real but our life is only too real to allow fan- tasy to take over. Sometimes we prefer to be like Batman, to live in a world of make-believe and fantasy, unwilling to face the reality about ourselves and our future. We try to solve these problems with the unreal weapons of escape and conformity. We try to escape present demands of life by jumping to the future. Already presuming in our great minds that we have already made Wall Street, that we have been highly promoted at GM, or are the big man with two Cadillacs, we, living in a sophisticated society, 'shun the work that is necessary it we are to achieve even limited success. Also escapingour conscience and our sense of morals we say, Everyone's doing it, or Itwillgo away. Forget it. We can't retreat into our bat cave be- cause the job world and college are all too-present realities. We can't forget our low grades or our unhappy lives. Lucky for Batman he always wins and is always ready to fight. But we mortals are not always ready to fight. Often, af- ter a defeat we are not prepared to fight for quite a while. All this leads up to the fact that we are not Batmen--we cannot escape life and reality. But wait, there is hope! Hope is preparing for the future by the simple process of thinking and working in the present. Hope lies in doing things now, not putting them off until a later day which may never come.

Thomas Baker, C.S. C. Reprinted from the Notre Dame Bulletin In a culture where we fluff and buff everything toacashmere softness before we wear, eat, or use it, the gray pow- deryashes tricklingfrom our foreheads on Ash Wednesdayfit like a harp solo in a Beatles' routine. Mortification, self-denial, and pen- ance are naughty words in the current Christian Love Syndrome. For many the Christian life is being caught, cap- tivated by a strange euphoric experience in which they blissfully bask until the par'ousia. The wonderful movement in the Church today towards emphasizing the positive in an attempt to avoid empty formalism and meaningless negativism is not an at- tempt to create a painless Christianity; Lent and its penitential spirit is right at the heart of the positive approach to the true Christian life. Lent, too, is for love. But no one loves in a vacuum. We don't just press a button and love auto- matically. Love is a struggle, aharsh struggle. LOVE THROUGH GIVING Love is not without obstacles. There is one giant obstacle to our love of God. It's our selfishness. Within our human frame we have big chunks of selfishness which like large boulders hinder our full response to God's love-strings. These boulders must be chipped away; they must be axed out of our lives. We would like to handle our selfishness gently, tenderly, and painlessly. But it would be to condemn ourselves to the hopeless task of trying to chisel a block of granite with a feather. No amount of mental gymnastics or of labyrinthine rationalizations can dilute the Christian message. It's very simple: life through death, love through giving. If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow Me. For he who would save his life will lose it but he who loses his life for My sake will find it. A soft and undemanding Lent is as con- tradictory as a painless Christian life. Ifwe refuse to hack away at our selfish- ness no matter how big we are on love we will never really be immersed in the mystery of Christ. Bending Tradition - a Good T hing Changes are usually made for convenience, and they are often breaks in tradition. A change may beasuccess or afailure depending upon the old or new plans. Redeemer has seen many changes this year: new scheduling, new exchanges, and new retreats. Of these changes it is scarcely appropriate to say that tradition has been broken, though we can maintain that the new plans have been successful. This month the Seniors and Juniors took partin another successful change. On Feb- ruary 9, both classes participated in a Bible Vigil which emphasized the symbolism of the rings, the blessing and presentation of rings, and a special 11:30 Mass. The fact that both classes were in attendance, said one Senior, lent an air of upper-class unity to the ceremony. This participation of both classes was new this year, but no one felt that tradition had been shattered. Immediately following Mass, the Seniors were feted with a luncheon, by the junior , class. The juniors hadworked hardfor days to make the arrangements and to decorate the cafeteria in the senior's class colors--navy blue and powder blue. It was the first time that Ring Day and the Junior-Senior luncheon were scheduled for the same day. Whatwas the effect of the combined activities? A junior commented that it seemed appropriate that we give the seniors something special on Ring Day, and a senior added, It made Ring Day seem somehow much more important. It has been traditional for the juniors to give a luncheon or banquet for the seniors, so there was no break in tradition, only a change. Next year the juniors may not find it possible to arrange a luncheon on Ring Day because the Class of '67 will receive their rings.early in the year. This situation should not discourage, but rather encourage the Class of i68 to begin thinking of something that would be appropriate, yet different, while maintaining the basic tradition that the juniors would treat the seniors. No one wants to upset, discourage, or discard tradition, but to make it flexible and meaningful so that it may be effectively carried on.

The curtain closed for the last time on Holy Redeemerts presentation of My Fair Lady. All the work, worry, and tears are in the past. Left behind are echoes and memories. There are memories of First Night whenjust as nerves were strained t0 the breaking point, Miss Maday announced to the cast that the house is packed--there is standing room only. Everyone broke intoaresounding cheer and from then on, the outlook was bright. Of course, no two nights went exactly the same. Eachperformance had its own anecdotes, mishaps, and successes. Marty Colbeck, otherwise known as A1 P. Dolittle, got off to a great start as he walked on the stage. He was greeted by the resounding voice of his nephew, Gee look at Uncle Marty. He looks funny. ChristineScagnetti's Charming soon became Charming, simply charming, and brought as much amusement as Pro- fessor Higgins' famous M o t h e r when he was bested bv Eliza. While part of the cast struggled on- stage, the others amused themselves in the Blue Room. Card games, imagin- ary hockey and baseball were attempted and everyone was cautioned to keep it down to a dull roar. In the midst of the orderly confusion, Miss Maday explained that the theatrical version of Good luck is Break a leg, and that in show business good luck is equivalent to bad luck. The final night brought a mixture of relief and regret. The latest game ac- cording to John Emig was See-how-long you-canikeep-Celia-Schwab-crying. For the seniors, the last night was a true finale as far as high school musicals go, while the underclassmen continue to look forward to more plays and more of the smell of grease paint--roar 0f the c?cowd.

During visits to Religion classes the two p o s t u l a n t s from Redeemer were questioned about religious life in general, and in particular about religious life in the IHM Community. The girls gave a rundown of a typical day of studies and community living. After school the girls hoste d a coke session in the Guidance Center. Students and teachers dropped in to talk to them. Among interested students were Marsha and Fred Greenhaw who came to be with their sister, Aline. That evening at the convent, the Sisters met some of their classmates from Re- deemer. Time and talk flew as the old grads reminisced and briefed one another on their successes and m is h ap 5 since September.

February 28, 1966 FROM THE LowEsT OF THE LowEST COMES- tie InsaNitiES The first in a series of dumheaded chapters ofPuff, a cat; Spot, a dog; and their pet kids; Dick, Jane, and little Sally. It seems that one day as Spot was ta- king Dick for his daily walk iSpot went on walks only to make Dick feel he was superior to Spoti he came upon an alli- gator inatree. Now this was a very odd thing because the tree was an apple tree and everybody knows that alligators hate apples. When Spot had regained his composure he mentioned to Dick in his typical tone of voice. Bark, Bark, Woof. At this Dick turned around and did what any red blooded dog owner would do. He picked up an apple and threw it at the stupid al- ligator because Spot had pointed out that the alligator was about to close his jaws around poor defenseless Puff who had been swinging through the trees on the grapevines. Upon seeing the apple come whizzing by his head, the alligator momentarily forgot about Puff, but Puff remained in her trajectory and smashed right into the alligator. At this Spot fainted thus bringing about the popular saying, See Spot play dead. Standing on the ground Dick was flabber- gasted, and exclaimed, Boy, you sure powdered him, Puff. This exclama- tion brought about a nickname for Puff, and an addition to the English Language, Powder Puff.

It has never looked so good, said a senior girl as she described the setting for the Junior-Senior luncheon given on Ring Day. The Junior girls under the direction of Mrs. Lewis had worked many hours to transform the daily chow spot. Navy blue and powder blue streamers extended from the 'ceiling down to the centerpieces which were replicas of class rings.

Michael Gibbons, Ray Skrocki, Bart Ven- tura, and John Emig proceed down the serving line to sample a bit of everything. But there was more than decoration on that day. The smorgasbord took every one's immediate attention. Seniors and Juniors piled their plates high with the chicken, meatballs, spaghetti, salad, and fixin's. Fears of leftovers dim- inished as the caterers continued to fill the platters. A senior girl summed up the day by commenting, Many of us were reluctant to leave, and when we did leave, all we could talk about was what a great job the juniors had done. Most Seniors felt that they were made more aware of approaching graduation. At the head of the line are Dan Brooks, Don Jacques, and Jim Phillips, giving their approval as they take their pick. 8 SENTINEL Marty Sheedy breaks. his ihto Red- ford's offense and pries the ball from the hands of the enemy.

After along, hard-fought game, the score was 24-21 in favor of the Lions. Ce1Gar cia was high scorer with eight points. Benedictine got off to a slow start as Redeemer held a ten point lead at half- time. Slowly butsurely the lead was cut down but the Lions set the pace and went on to win by the score of 26-24. Overconfidence and extensive fouling proved to be the Lions' downfall as St. Benedict moved in for an upset. The Ra- vens moved toafast ten point lead before the Lions could score and kept their lead throughout the game. The Lions fought back with all they had cutting the lead to four points, but went down in defeat as four girls fouled out.

River Rouge controlled the backboards and that told the game's story. Although Ben Yurkunas and Rick Zamojski con- tributed 13 and 10 points respectively, the Lions couldn't muster a big enough attack. Final score: Panthers 62, Lions 41.

Withcurtain raised, voices tuned, and stage fright a mere fancy, the choral's p r e p a r :1 t i o n s for My Fair Lady are a go-go with a decidedly English accent. The whole thing started last November when the choice of the play was made, and the lead try-outs were announced. Withsweatypalms, shaking knees, and Cockney accents ranging from deep South to the purest Emerald Isle, the potential actors and actresses aspired their way through various scenes. Finally the results of the try-outs were announced. MaryJo Alexander will take the lead as Eliza Dolittle, with Sandra Pomicter as understudy: John Steffes will playthe male lead as Henry Higgins. Brian Forintas will take the part of A1- fred P. Dolittle, with Marty Colbeck and Jim Hetner his Cockney palso Joe Gar- land will be Colonel Pickering. Frank Sensoli and John Mrla play the role of Freddy, and Helga Abela and Judy Deutschman will be Mrs. Pearce.

Redeemer is no exception. Each September, freshmen cringe at the sound of the word senior and the seniors grin knowingly at the mention of the word freshman. As time goes by. the frosh become more relaxed. and the seniors become more understanding. As this issue goes to press, the first semester will have come to an end, and the members of each class have had am- ple oppo r t u nity to see each other in action. This year's frosh, in the opinion of a number of seniors, are a friendly group of kids. among whom are many potential leaders. The success or failure 01' the Class of '69 is in the hands of its mem- bers. Projects like the patron and spon- sor drivewillserve as a touchstone or proof of what our freshman class is ca- pable of doing. Although the drive is only half over, two frosh rooms have topped the hundred per cent mark. They have shown that they care by putting together religious books for the patients at Bancroft, and by offering their services for volunteer Work at Lincoln Hospital. Freshmanvoices arehearu at games. cheering on the team, as well as at the morning Mass. participating in the Sa- cred Liturgy. A senior boy remarked recently, Some of the freshmen are too quiet. They be- long to school clubs and seem interested but they haruly ever speak up. Maybe they thtink that because they're freshmen the upperclassmen willnot respect their opinions. Initiation day should be the only day in whichthe frosh opinions are disregarded. After that, the freshmen are just as much a part of the BIG RE as any other class member. He should be concerned about activities in his schooL and be ready to speak out about them.

Typing Editor Duane Pennebaker Lynn Neeley Adviser Freshmen Teresa Henri, Carol McGuire, Marian King, and Vicky Fenech reflect the frosh spirit as they master the two-step at the annual Senior At Home. King; Day Important for ALL Come February, another Senior Class will have their rings blessed. To some, this will have little or no significance. To others, to most. perhaps, it will be the story of Noah's Ark, the story of Columbus. the story of Lindberg, and the story of John Glenn . For all these stories encompass the same theme as does the blessing of a ring. In all the theme is one of embarking, going from one place to another. For all the great men mentioned, leaving their comfortable world was an effort, a sacrifice, an uncertainty. But yet they went, sometimes to places unknown. For the seniors. the roads which they will travel are just as different, just as unknown. The ring will be the first reminder of many, that the world of high school is almost at the end. and soontheymustbe ready to join the rest of society as an active, working, member. Whether this be in the services, or in college, or in the work force, all will contribute in some way to some goal. Probably the most significant aspect of the ring is the blessing. With the blessing it becomes more than a ring--it becomes a symbol of God's help in new responsibilities and new challenges. We leave the often petty things of high school, and begin to work for a broader. more meaningful interpretation of God's Will. It may serve as a chal- lenge to be different from the crowd, to accept not what is accepted but what is true. Ring day is not only for the Seniors. but for allot us, because it concerns the future. At this point it is not possible to change the past. Many Seniors have said, I wishI could do it over. I missed so much. Oh, for another chance. This is not possible for the Seniors, who must look ahead. For the underclassmen, and for the Juniors, their future is still within the Circle of high school. Ring Day is a good time to think of where we are going, and how we will get there. It is quite apparent that the team ap- preciates the cheering as a whole. It is also apparent that they feel more con- fident knowing that the guys are behind themg The masculine touchin the cheer- ing section may not add any points to the score, but it gives each member of the team the incentive to play his best. Special congratulations to our Varsity men for their remarkable display of the spirit that typifies Redeemer. Lelia Schwab l66 Dear Editor: This year there has been much praise giventothe students for their outstanding Sister Alphonsus display of school spirit at the basketball games. However, specialattention must be given to the members of our newly- organized Varsity Club, for their enthu- siastic backingr of the Cheering section. The February issue of the Sentinel will feature the Homecoming Game and the Dance, since this issue goes to press before the event. January 31, 1966 SENTINEL 3 Breitenbeck Consecrated cut Cathedral Blessed Sacrament Cathedralwas the scene of the solemn con- secration of Redeemer alumnus, Bishop Joseph M. Breitenbeck on December 20. Hereceived his episcopal powers from Arch- bishop John F. Dearden, Archbishop of Detroit. Father Gerard Breitenbeck, CSSR, the brother of the bishop, joined him in the concelebrated Mass which followed the cere- mony of consecration. At a dinner following, Bishop Breitenbeck expressed his deep felt appreciation to the Holy Father for the confidence expressed in him through his appointment He also expressed gratitude to Archbishop Dearden for the op- portunity of working in close connection with you for the good of the Church and the Community here in Detroit. The symbols that make up the crest of the new bishop are of interesting origin. The family name Breitenbeck is an Austrian name meaning widening river or spreading stream. The Scriptural connotationis foundinSt. John's Gospel, If any man thirst, let him come to Me; and let him who believes in Me drink. In the crestthe wavy silver chevronels on a blue shield express rivers of living water and the Breitenbeck familyname. The bird in the upper left is aheraldic bird, the martlet, which appears on the crest of Cadillac, the founder of Detroit. The head of the stag in the upper rightsectionsignifies that the Bishop is from Michigan. The motto, DominoServientes is to be found in St. Paul. It Bishop Joseph Breitenbeck is the Lord whom you serve. How Does 0 Bishop... How does a bishop look ,when he's a teen age boy? Withthis question in mind. curious report- ers referred to the '32 edition of the Redee- mer senior publication The Campanile. The pages of The Campanile yielded a wealth of information. During his years at Redeemer High, Bishop Breitenbeck was an honor student, and he graduated magna cum laude. He was a member of the '32 Varsity Debating Club, and the book describes him as a debater of great ability. A photography enthusiast, he was for four years a member of the Camera Club and helped take, develop, and furnish the year bookwith pictures. When the time comes to take pictures we leave them to Joe, was the comment placed next to his senior picture. Science and IWrama Clubs also claimed the Bishop's membership. He must have been proficient in German, since the book mentions his ability to translate com- pulsory unemployment insurance into German. The Campanile of '32 devoted a page to Physiognomy or profile analysis. Of Joe Breitenbeck's profile it is quoted. That brow bespeaks a linguist. We predict a future in the diplomatic corps of Berlin. The new bishop grew up in the age of Lindberg, hero of aviation; of Admiral Byrd, commander of polar expeditions; Floyd Gibbons, war correspondent; and Eddie Cantor, comedian. These werethe teen-age heroes of '32, and a tribute to them was the theme of the yearbook. Every age has produced men pre-eminent for their accomplish- ments. In tribute to these masters of achievementwe have chosenthe theme. Canwe sayless of a normal American boy who by the grace of God is Bishop? 4 SENTINEL January 31, 1966 35 CCD students Mary Ann Campos, Pat Henry, Debra Younkins, and Annette Marsh join with Sodalist Linda Holtyn over hot fudge sundaes on Epiphany Day.

Prize winners of the JCL Epiphany Cake Sale, Kathy Forgach, Sue Omilian, and Darrel Fecho officiate at the raffle. Prize JCL Cakes Go Latin The Junior Classical League sponsored their annual Epiphany Cake Sale, which has become a club tradition in recent years. Prizes were awarded to students who exhibited the most originality in the decoration of their cake. This year Senior Kathy Forgach earned first prize with her motif Lux et Liber- tas. Second prize went to Sue Omilian for her Clock cake, inscribed with the words, Tempus fugit. Third prize winner was Darrel Fecho withhis inscription Sequere Tuam Stel- lam. The prizewinning cakes were raf- fled off. The others were sold by the piece, in the cafeteria. The Sodality and the CCD class have participated in joint projects at other times. Each group finds that they have similar aims--to learn to know Christ and to make His Name known to others. The Sodalists find their inspiration in the SodalityofOur Lady, beginning in the Catholic School and extending out; the CCD Clas 5, who are enrolled in public schools, find their inspiration in after- school religion classes at Redeemer. Theytake the message out to those whom they contact. The Epiphany party was the initial meeting this year, so introductions came first.

Diving Needs Clear Head us well as Clear Water By Jack Clear '66 The world of the sea is a world of won- der, amazement and beauty. Behind this wall of beauty also lies danger. Danger fromthe physicalaspect of the water and also from the diver himself. This dan- ger, if not considered by the diver, can bring death. Chris Scagnetti and Bob Novak review a few of the principles of skin diving with Jack Clear who models the suit. Dangers to the dive r involved in the underwater world can many times come from the natu r e of objects themselves under the sea, such as weeds, mud and coral if the diver is not e q u ipp e d with proper gear to handle the situation. The diver can also unexpectedly run into a pike or muskie. If he is diving in the o cean he runs the risk of meeting man eaters. Such fish as the shark and barracuda are very respected in all costal w ate r s . Other hazards such as fallen trees and underwater landslide are dan- gerous t0 the diver. Besides the natural dangers in diving there are diving m a 1 a d i e s. The most deadly of the maladies are the bend and air embolism. Both are concerned with excess nitrogen in the body and are con- tracted very easy when not fully instruct- ed in safety under water. Many people don'tknow that if you come up a distance of five feet without letting air out of the lung you can burstyour lungs and die in a matter of seconds. Diving is adangerous sport but it must be taken into consideration that diving is dangerous when someone makes it dan- gerous. Lack of safety knowledgeand in- experience has le d to most accidents. With a Clear head and knowledge of certain essentials any one can enjoy the beauty and wonder of the world beneath the sea.

The Cavaliers ran out of explosiveness as the Lions squeaked out a 54-51 seasaw victory. The Lions ' attack was as old as the night, causing them to fall five points be- hind through most of the first half. Ral- lying late in the half Redeemer took a slim point into the final periods. Nip and tuck battle waged through out the second half until with about a minute left the Lions jumped to a seven point lead and held on to win. High scorer for the Lions was Marty Sheedywith17, and Terry Cupples had 11 with 22 rebounds.

In an overflowing gym with a jammed scoreboard, the c row d roared but Re- deemer faltered from the start as the Panthers combined some hot shooting, ball-hawking and sloppy ball-handling by the Lions tojump to a 33-26 lead at half- time. With resumption of second half action, the Lions ' shooting went colder than a frozen cucumber. Servite took advantage of Redeemer's cold streak to increase its lead to 13 points, 53-40. by the end of the third quarter. In the fourthquarter 1Redeemer contin- ued its er ratic play while Servite dis- played sound ball playing as they increas- ed the lead to 21t0 end its demolishing of the Lions.

Returning to action, the Lions waged a seesaw battle, and managed to tie the score, 53-53 at the end of the third. With about two minutes gone in the last period, Redeemer went on a two-minute scoring spree, while holding Bishop Gal- lagher scoreless, to take a nine point lead. Bishop Gallagher struck back slowly but surely. 'With 38 seconds remaining, the lead was cut to one point and Redee- mer's ball. The Lions hung on to the ball, until with three seconds left Chuck Callender was fouled. He had-two shots. He missed the first one, but the second was on target. B.

The lead was exchanged many times throughout the game, but when time ran out the score was 24-21 in favor of Rosary. Janice Phillips contributed 12 points as high scorer tor Redeemer. In the Varsity game, the defensive unit led by Kathy Chmielewski and Marianne Donnelly', held the sharp shooting Rosary girls to only 15 points. The R o s a r y defense stopped most of R e d e e m e r 's offensive plays and took nearly 9004 of the rebounds. The final score was Rosary-IS, Redeemer-Q. Led by sophomore Nancy Lengyl, the Redeemer Jay-Vees crushed Uearborn SacredHeartin their second encounter of the season. After a shakey first quarter, the for- wards came alive and began working out key offensive plays. The g u a r d s also began to stop the fast break of the Sacred Heart scoring machine. The final score was 28-9, in favor of Redeemer. N a n c y L e ng yl was high scorer with 14 points. Determined to win after the Rosary loss, the Varsitybuilt up a six point lead against Sacred Heart going into the final quarter. Extensive fouling proved to be their dow nfall as the lead was quickly wiped away. In the final two minutes, with a two point lead for Redeemer, the forwards of Sa- credHeartpumpedintwolong jump shots to take the victory out of Redeemer's hands by a score of 14-12. 8 SENTINEL January 31, 1966 Qizls, Bowls Review Teen-ftge IOAizl o6 ?mhion Girls often look to fashion magazines and to the boys, for opinions on how they should look. For those who care, the Fashion Spy is here to inform you on the latest in's and out's in fashions. The granny dress, which originated in California and swept across the nation is quietly taking le ave of the teen fashion world. Cranberry and madras have lost their no velty, but still remain on the scene. Teen fashion designers have tos- sed away many old designs and have begun producing more vivid, gay styles for this spring; What's headed for the top in girls' clothes ?e- the feminine look. Andwhat is more girlish than pastel colors and flow- ers-lots of them! The posey print , a dark colored material, sprinkled gener- ously with pa stel colored flowers, or vice-versa, is being made into skirts, blouses, dresses and casual suits. The lively brightness of the print is mostly due to the color combinations of pink and g r e en , red and yellow, peach and brown and green and blue. by HM 'pmhiniiis PX Ruffle s, tucks and lace will add the feminine tou c h to dresses and blouses colored in w a t e r p a s t e l s of cream white, yellow, pink, and blue. Replac- ing madras in popularity, should be the pastelplaids which will be seen in coats , skirts, and even hats. Two variations of a color to really watch out for , says a leading fashion magazine, are black plum and violet. These should be seen not only in basic clothing but also in various accessories, such as scarves, gloves, beads, brace- lets and pins. The p i er c ed ear look is still going strong and promises to continue. Hair-dos are not to be left out of the fashion arena. The verystraight, ironed hair look is being changed by just a whis- per of curl, while bangs are being short- ened so as not to hide, but to reveal the feminine look. The Sassoon , which is the shortest hair cutseenin a long time, is different, but only the modified version of it seems to be catching on in popularity. The high rattedlook is completely out, except for formal occasions, when itis used to perk up highfashion or french curl up-sweeps. Redeemer girls have adopted and alter- ed to their own tastes, many of fashion world's c r e at i o n 5. Those who notice most, what the girls are wearing and how they look--the boys and teachers, were questionedonwhat they liked and disliked about the way HR girls looked. An unofficial fashion panel of Redeemer boys, both uppe r and lower classmen, who wish to remain anonymous, expres- sed the following opinions: Skirts that come two and three inches above the knee are nice--if you're playing tennis ; Thosewhite 'go-go boots' were out of it before they were really in ; I like the girls in simple styles and soft colors. All the girls look good in a neat sweat- er and stretchslack outfit, for games and skiing ; Those m at c h i ng s o c k s and sweaters are nice, but you tend to lose sight of the girlwearing them and finally Bell-bottoms are okay, if you're in the Navy. Not only were the boys experts on clothes but they seemed to know quite a bit about hair-dos too. One panelist said Boy, that 'Sassoon' cut puts teens in a ridiculous s i t uatio n . You hear about some guys who want to grow their hair downto their shoulders, and the girls are getting theirs cut above their ears! Another insisted, The nicest is the aver age length with a little bit of curl either over or under. I like those, I think you call 'em head bands too. Blushing slightly, one boy admitted, Most girls have nice eyes, but you can't really tell when their bangs come half-way down their noses. Ateacher added to the opinions, Most of our girls' hair styles are pretty nice, but some are rather extreme for school. Another teacher said Some girls comb their hair so that about the only thing you can see of their face is the nose. Rather difficult under this situation, to take at- tendance. l ' I II I hit at liiulllwml IHH .,-J M! O'llA'Ul' Regardless of the opinions of others, girls will be girls, and will dress and comb the w ay they see fit. At HR, the neat, wholesome look is admired, and as for the most popular look in school clothes, one senior girl says that Def- initly, the brown pleated skirts, white blouses and brown cardigans are really 'in'.

What problems do teen-agers face, that may hinder their homemaking abilities in the future ? This questionwas presented in the es- say section of the Betty Crocker Home- making Test. A possible answer to this question is the lack of respons ibility. Responsibility is the ability to fulfill obligations. The tr uth of the matter happens to be, that most teen-agers end up going by the motto, Never do today, what you can put off until tomorrow. At first these words sound amusing, yet the lack of responsible action at the right time, is often a te e n - ag e r ' s weakest point. Many times people are aware of things that must be done, but they hesitate to act, either because they think someone else will eventually do them or they feel it can be put off for a while. How muchresponsibility should be ex- pected of Redeemer students? Our main objective should be trying to excel aca- demically. This does not necessarily mean that we must attain a 4. 0 average every quarter, but it does mean that we must work to the best of our abilities. Conscientiously c o m p 1e t e d assign- ments and active class participation are key factors in educational responsibility . A n o t h e r type of responsibility that should be seen more often at Redeemer is the responsibility of the student to make sure that everything in school is exactly the way it should be. Re-arranged bulle- tin boards should be put back in order by the first person who notices them. The collecting of forgotten milk bottles and paper bags in the cafeteria should be the responsibility of every s tu de nt not only Mother and a few reliables . The order in which study halls are con- ducted should also be the responsibility of students. Those who have no home work to keep themselves occupied with, should have respect for 0the r students who may be able to make good use of a quiet place to study. We should be mature enough to face the facts. Thesepoints of responsibility, as insignificant as they may seem, are im- portant. By accepting their importance , we will be taking the first and most dif- ficult step toward adulthood.

In itself, the score isn't important, but what took place in the barn tgyml is. It was the greatest demon- stration of school support of the team, in the last three years. We didn't come to sit, and not many people sat at any time of the game. Not many left without being hoarse, and literally drenchedfrom the heat of the game. The drums pounded out enthusiasm and drive as the Redeemer student body lifted the roof --and it's not likely to be put back on soon. The Varsity players have inspired this dynamic change. Men like Chuck Callender and Jim Choate, who have said at pep rallies, your cheering helps us; we want to hear you, have made cheering important. Going in to the game with a 1-2 season, Chuck said at the pep rally Friday, We've let you down, but we won't tonight. And you didn't let us down. We didn't let you and the team down either. II ?stlbh 4 Dear Editor: In the last issue of the SENTINEL, an editorial suggested an award for the un- known man. This aw ard deserves the support of all Redeemerites, especially any w ho have ever complained that the same few always get the honors. I, too, would like to propose a new a- ward--one for the Monitor of the Year . There are few students who wish to take upon themselves the responsibility of a study hall. Each day, the monitor has to face a cr ow d of students who are very pronounced in their disrespect. To these monitors of great courage, I believe we 5 ho u ld present a symbol of their trade--an engraved whistle. E. Zaliagiris '66 b'QAE'Editdr: It is true that spirit is essential in a team, in an organization, and ina school. And when it comes right down to the facts , Redeemer High has it. Redeemer has that KIND of spirit. . . the drive, the in- centive to give. This is really spirit in its most highest form. I cite the example of the students who , for. over two monthS, planned, practiced, and finally performed for the old folks down at the Bancroft Home. I cite also the example of the students who planned, filled, and delivered the Christmas Bas- kets for Christ's needy. And the s tudents who, by yelling a cheery hello, and having a ready smile for their fellow students, make this spirit prevail. This Christmas as we participate in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and we pray Glory to God in the Highest; and on Earth peace to men of goodwill, let our hearts ring out with spirit and love. . . let the spirit of Re de e m er continue to be the spirit of the Redeemer--giving and for- giving.

CLAM Features Librarian The meeting of the Catholic Library Assistants of Michigan was held at Holy Redeemer. Mrs. Beal, director of the Young Adults section of the Detroit Pub- lic Library. was guest speaker. Mrs. Beal called attention to the pro- gram entitled, Young America Looks at Books, whichis broadcast to twenty- four states. The program consists of a panel composed of teen-agers who dis- cuss current books and literature. Mrs. Beal commented briefly on the reading habits of teen-agers. Girls, she said, read more than boys do, but boys read better books. The meeting at Redeemer marked the passing of the constitution. After the business was finished, there was a sock hop in the Blue Room. SENTINEL 3 New Computer Adds Efficiency to Data by Jack Clear '66 Redeemer's Data Processing center has acquired a small digital computer . The Minivac 6010 will be used to provide the data processing students with a fun- damental understanding of the mathemat- ical and logical concepts underlying to- day's computer. The student will learn basic computer operation and be able to further himself in this growing field. Minivac shows how computers use logic to make decisions. It adds, subtracts, multiplies and divide s . It illustrates computer design, programming and cir- cuitry. It plays 0 o m p u t e r games and teaches the potentialities and limitations of modern computer technology. Minivac 6010 is designed as a teaching de vie e . It is not intended to perform computer functions, but it does demon- strate these functions effectively and in interesting, easily understandable terms. It is said that if 533 of these Minivacs were wired together we would have one large computer. , w aw Mrs. Barbara Lewis shows Jack Clear and GerryDurocher how the Minivac 6010 solves mathematicalproblems. The Minivac 6010 is instructed to solve its problems by means of electrical cur- rents which the programmer sends to the machine by means of plugboard wires. The Minivac has memory units which give it the distinct difference from the other electro-mechanical machines in the Data Processing Center. It has been said byMrs. Lewis that the Minivac will pro- vide a background for the students to e- valuate this new technology.

More will join in the near future. The Challenge is a Christian Youth Movement, under the direction of A1 Mc- Neeley, Assistant Director at Casa Maria C o m m u n i t y Center. For a weekend, teen-agers, either all boys or all girls , from all over the city and the suburbs come together to get to know Christ and to learn to live with Him. They meet at St. Leo's Cursillo Center to share in an experience that cannot be equalled. It is totally different from a cursillo or a retreat. There are no meth- ods or devices. What one gives of him- self is left entirely up to the individual. Usually the Senior Instructors who give the talks, and the Junior Instructors who head the table discussions, are products of the previous Challenge. In the dis- cussion groups, it is arranged that no two students from the s ame school are to- gether. This gives all a chance to make new acquaintances. and to find out how people, other than their own friends are thinking. Participation Proves Valuable OnSaturday and Sunday, Mass is cele- brated with e v e r y o n e taking an active part. After the Gospel, anyone is free to give his interpretation of how the Word of God, as given in the Gospel, applies to his everyday life. At the Offertory, each Challenger may make his own petition. E ach group that comes to the Chal- lenge has a moderator, who decides what the Challenger should do in their parish or school. To keep the Challengers informed on all activitiesand on up-and-coming Chal- lenges The Bell, a newsletter, was es- tablished, andis sent each month to those who have made the Challenge . Girls Accept Challenge You gave us a challenge, and we re- turnedavictory. This is the answer of five senior girls to inquiries on the first girls' Challenge Week end Seniors Kathy Fitzpatrick, Lori Munoz, Chris Paluch, Joanne Sabo, and Liz Zaliagiris were five of fifty Detroit area girls who spent a weekend with Christ. The CursilloCenter at St. Leo's parish was the site of the first girls ' Challenge . From December 10-12, fifty strangers found each other through C hr i s t. The girls shared experiences, p r o b l e m s, joys, and love. Mrs . Rosemary Mason, who is in charge of the Challenge, challenged each girl to maturity. Living in an atmosphere of love for three days was all it took for the girls to become mature in Christ. Each challenger was able to give the best gift possible: herself. Girls w Elizabeth Zaliagiris, Joanne Sabo, and Chris Paluch. such topiCS as; salvation history, piety, socialjustice, the sacraments, and mar- riage. After each talk, the girls broke up into six groups and had a ten-minute discussion period. The girls were then instructed to draw a picture of the ideas they got from the discussion. Friday night, Father Bill Cunning- ham, spiritual director, introduced the girls to confession by candlelight. Fa- ther explained that the girls would cele- brate the sacrament of penance in a spirit of joy. After the reading of the parable of the prodigal son, the lights were turned off, and each priest took a lighted candle to place by his special confessional. Renew Baptismal Vows No individual penance was given. Ra- ther, communitypenance was recited af- ter all had gone to confession. Saturday afternoon, Father Cunning- ham again gave the girls a spiritual sur- prize. Each challenger was re-baptized . A p e r s o n a1 response was given to the question what do you ask of the Church and why. Father placed the salt of wisdom on each tongue, the water of'life on each face, and the stole of faith on the right shoulder of each girl. Saturday evening was the time for en- tertainment. Each group of girls put on a skit and the best was the re-enact- ment of the girl's arrival on Friday. The imitation of Mr. A1 McNeely by Liz Zal- iagiris was the highlight of the skit. The entertainment was ended with a hooten- anny. Mass Concludes Week-end The closing ceremony on Sunday con- sisted of a folk Mass and a reception afterward. Each girl who made the Challenge recieved a Chiro medal, which has come to be the symbol of the Chal- lenge.

Sure Mom, but I'm going tonight at Holy Redeemer Auditorium. This conversation was often repeated in the homes of young adults from seven- teen different schools who attended the YCS Study Day. The Mass, celebrated by Father Dunn, who is involved in the Pov- erty Program at Holy Trinity, began in the Blue Room and proceeded to the Little Gym with the Offertory Procession. A whole list of new experiences made up the Day. Speaker and discussion per- iods featured Rose Mjain who said, The place to start is with yourself. Throw your unwanted pride, jealousy, and sel- fishness in receptacles. F athe r Lughermo, formerly of Holy Redeemer parish, spoke on Community, and our obligations to each other. Anita Surma emphasized the need for unity. At intervals Zieth Smith, with her gui- tar, led the assembly through numbers like 500 Miles and If I had a Hammer. The climax was reached when all of the students crossed the aisles to join hands and voices .in an e x u be r ant We Shall Overcome. As the items on the agenda were check- ed off one by one, the hungry crowd 100k- ed forward to refreshments and a relaxing hootenanny conducted by a group of sem- inarians from Sacred Heart. December 23, 1965 SENTINEL 5 Alumnus John Kuuzu Cited In Vietnam War by Margaret Malone '68 First Lieutenant John Kauza, a gradu- g ate of '59, has been awarded the Air E Medal for Heroism, for distinguished '0 action while engaged in aerial flight in Quai Quan, Vietnam. Lieutenant Kauza was flying as a gunner in a UH-IB heli- copter during an evacuation of the wound- ed from the outpost which had been attack- ed by Viet Cong mortar fire. The citation, given by the authority of the President, under the provisions of an Executive Order, reads in part: LieutenantKauza, with complete dis- regardfor his personal safety, leaned far outside the helicopter to place accurate, deadly fire into the Viet Cong position. His timely and effective suppressive fire enableda second helicopter to pick up the remaining wounded and take off without any damage. Lieutenant Kauza's personal courage and consummate professional skill in the face of intense hostile fire, are in keep- ing with the highest traditions of the mili- tary service, and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the U nited States Army. The medal is described as an oak leaf .. L . cluster witha V device, the V stand- . t ,, Lieutenant John Kauza ing for Valor. The lieutenant has also received seven other medals, one for every twenty-five hours of flying over hostile territory, and he has also re- ceivedthe Army Commendation Medal for meritorious service in Vietnam. tAt Home Set In Winter Scenery The annual Christmas present from the Senior Class to the school and alumni, the At Home will be set in both an indoor and outdoor atmosphere. December 26 will find the Blue Room decked with melt-proof snow drifts and snowflakes, with sleds and toboggans to present the theme, Winter Wonderland. In contrast, the little gym will be transformedintoahuge living room with a fir e - place and all. Entertainment, including records and live Redeemer talent, will change every hour. Punch, Coke, andUptown, with cookies, cupcakes, and chips, will be ser- ved as refreshments. As an extra feature, a huge stuffed animal will be raffled off at the end of the day. For those who just want to sit and relax, there will be a variety of games; for those who wish to dance, good music. Lieutenant Kauza was Student Council President of Redeemer in 1959, he was awardedafour-year scholarship to West Point, and graduated from there in 1963.

The Future Nurses Club contributed and wrapped gifts for some of the most forgotten--patients at Lapeer State Hos- pital. The patients were given an op- portunityto request what they would like to receive, and the girls made every ef- fort to fulfill their desires. Names of needy families in the parish were given to the homerooms by the Stu- dent Council, who assume the supervision of Operation Christmas Basket. Father Monroe blessed the baskets just before they were delivered. A plan to keep in touch with the families during the year is being organized by several rooms. Choral members and students from al- most every school organization joined together to present the fourth program, and the second Christmas Show to be pre- sented to the patients at the Bancroft Nursing Home. Christmas carols and dance arrangements constituted the pro- gram. As a finale, Santa, Christmas Carol, and their elves, distributed Christmas cards with special messages from the senior girls. The City-Wide Federation of the YCS concentrated on Franklin School. The Redeemer branch took over the respon- sibility for the Christmas entertainment duringwhichSanta, in the person of Tom Trahey, made the toys come alive. The Freshmangirls made scrap books of the Holy Father's visit to the United States. and gave them to the patients at the Bancroft Nursing Home. December 23, 1965 Mr. James Alexander thanks the FTC parent-student panel for their participation in the meeting: Left to right: Mr. Hogan and Jeannie; PTG Secretary, Mrs. Dubiel; Mrs. Bridge and David; Mrs. Banko and Vanessa; Mr. McGuire; Doctor Seal and Bob. Parents, Students, Voice Opinions on Dating by Celia Garcia '67 Sex and Dating was the topic of the second HighSchool Parent-Teacher Guild Meeting, inwhich parents, students, and members of the faculty participated. Father Monroe, the first speaker, ex- plained the role of the parent in sex ed- ucation. The parents, he said, must instill in their children the attitude that sex is a beautiful and wholesome gift. He maintained that teenagers are ca- pable of falling in love, and that the trou- ble starts when this healthy emotion seeks expression. Respect for one another, and restraint should be the guidelines of a girl-boy relationship at this age. Mother Ann Marysaid, If a sound re- lationship exists between the parents and children, the children will listen to the advice of the parents. i I' Future Nurses Kate Patterson, Kathy Broniak, Diane Kraus, Gail Durocher, Joyce Muscat, MaryLouise Stencel, and Margie McMahon check gift lists and wrap presents for the patients at Lapeer State Hospital. Mr. Alexander, president of the PTG, contributed the following points from his experience as a father of eight children . Communication between p a r e n t and child should begin when the children are very young. All questions should be an- swered truthfully. The teenager should not have to wonder if his pare nts are interested in him. Mr. Alexander then introduced the stu- dent panel. Bob Seal, Vanessa Banko, David Bridge, and Jeanne Hogan were the participants. Doctor Seal, Mrs. Banko , Mrs. Bridge, and Mr. Hoganwere placed in an isolation r 00 m while the students were as ke d to respond to the following questions. What is the best advic e your father ever gave you? What do you most ad- mire about your father? Do you think thatrules of conduct for high school stu- dents should be strictly spelled out, or left flexible? Since the students had not been br 1 efe d on the questions, the an- swers were spontaneous. Then the parents were asked similar questions. What is the best advice you evergave your son? What do you most admire about your son? Do you think that rules of conduct for high school stu- dents should be strictly spelled out or left flexible? Do you believe your son has more freedom than you had at the same age 9 The answers were thoughtful, and some brought an appreciative chuckle from the a u d i e n c e. Vanessa Banko maintained that the best advice her father ever gave her is, Listen to your mother. When asked what he most admired about his son, Doctor S e al gravely replied, the fact that he takes after me. During the social hour that followed, parents were able to share opinions on the common p r o b l e m s that had been raised. At least we're all doing some heavy thinking on them, said one par- ent, and that more than half solves the problem. 3,: a l i l I Q l i l; l i I J. l 5 2 ! 2 .' E 0 December 23 , 1965 SENTINEL 7 Lions 2- 2, Stop St. Mary' 5; Begin Climb for Top The Lions took to the floor last Friday in an attempt to prove themselves to all doubters. They were successful, with a score of 68-63 over St. Mary's who were just as determined to keep their record perfect. The firsthalfended in a 3 4 - 3 4 tie. Both teams came back fighting, and the score remained a tie at the end of the third quarter. With the beginning of the fourth quar- ter the Lions took a slight lead, but in the final minutes, Redford came within a point. Marty Sheedy stolethe ball three times in the final minute and a half and took it in to give the Lions breathing room. Peltolawas high scorer for Redeemer with 19, followed by Marty Sheedy with 15 . Experience Beats Redeemer Redeemer's Lions opened the 1965-66 basketball season on a sournote, as arch- rival Servite dropped the Lions 61-56 in the Panther's gym. The Lions lost all five starters last year to graduation. The new starting five lacks experience as they made continual mistakes against Servite. First quarter action was fast and fur- ious but the scoring didn't follow the pace, as each team missed numerous opportun- ities to score. As the quarter ended the Lions enjoyed the lead for the first and last time 8-6. The two teams went to work in the sec- ondquarter with the Panthers outscoring Redeemer 16- 12, tojump into the lead for good 22- 20 at halftime. Servite steadily increased its lead as the Lions were having trouble hitting the basket and keeping the ball under control . By the end of the third quarter the Lions found themselves down by 11 points 50-39 . The Lions rallied in the fourth quarter to cut Servite's lead to three, but again mistakes were the downfall, as Servite hung on to win. Finding himself unguarded, Chuck Cal- lender takes a jump shot. Chuck Ca11ender mixes it up under the boards with two Servite players. and Terry Cupples come in to help. Three Lions hit double figures: Lou Peltola with 20, Chuck Ca11ender with 11, and Marty Sheedy with 11. Gallagher Stuns Lions Looking for their first league victory, the Lions of Redeemer bit off more than they could chew as Bishop Gallagher ra- vaged them 82-60. Redeemer gave every intention of turn- ing the game into a run- away in first quarter action as it jumped to a quick 10 point lead. It was short lived as Bishop Gallagher bounced back to grab a secure 40-31 lead at halftime. Things went continua11y wrong for the Lions but Bishop Gallagher was on the way to finishing off Redeemer 82-60 in its debut against the Lions.

The Junior Class Officers and mem- bers of the Junior Advisory Council, con- s isting of a representative from each homeroom, conducted a meeting of the entire Junior Class in order to present to them the existing problems and some possible solutions. Gary Schettl, Class President, opened the meeting with his state of the class speech. We have problems, he said, since we have to make enough money to give the seniors agoodsend-offin June. We have some ideas and we would like to present them to you for your approval, and we w ould like to hear any ideas you may have. Then each of the officers and council in e m her 5 explained one of the money- making projects that could be carried out bythe class. Theprojects included: the AnnualJunior-Senior BasketballGame, a Redeemer Bowling Tournament, a Fa- ther- Daughter Social, and a Theater Night at the Wayne State University Classical Theatre. An opinionnaire was distributed toward the end of the meeting, on which the class members were asked to give their opinion on the money-making projects and other questions thatwould eventually have to be decided by the officers and advisory council. Sophs Discuss Future Plans On November 19, the Sophomores of 68 held their first class meeting in Sophomore President Chris Reaume opened the meeting by enumerating some of the reasons for having a class assem- bly. Since this was the first meeting of the class as sophomores, it was neces- saryto spenda littlotime getting organ- ized. i' S e c r e t a r y Christine Scagnetti and Treasurer Gregory Zak introduced the topic of plans for future class assem- blies, and the possibility of getting a head start on money-making projects, but it was decided to hold off on the discussion of these projects until after the show. It is reported that no one was shy and that in a short time opinions were flying. Frosh Ge? Acquainted The first meeting of the Freshman Class centered around the theme of Get- ting Acquainted. The Student Council representatives hadjustbeen elected, so getting acquainted began with them. They were introduced by their sponsors who gave a brief biographical background, a summary of the activities in which the new rep had been engaged during grade school days, and some g e n e r a1 infor- mation which helped the freshmen to feel that they now know the leaders they had elected to Student Council. John McDun spoke on behalf of Carlos Cardenas, Joseph Borg for Thomas Ossy, Valentina Misiunas for Ilene Novak, Fred Williams for Daniel Campbell, Kenneth Seguin for Robert S t e v e n s, and Mark Fuhrer for James Rader. Now that the Freshman Class is off the ground, said S i s te r A n n Pau1,ninth grade coordinator, we're looking for big things from them. Working for the class in its role as leader of the school, the Senior Class Officers and their Advisory Board, consisting of members from each homeroom, confer often on matters that require expert decision making. One such decision was to wish the stu- dent body a joyous Christmas. Trimming the tree are Chris Scagnetti, Marianne Don- nelly, David Gutt, Mark O'Brien, Jack Clear, Emily Pace, Anita Surma, Esther Pin- chot, Judy Deutschman, and Kathy Suchyta. Bob Seal was absent. room 102, under the direction of Sister Marie Gregory, moderator.

Anita Surma Meeting Probes Problems The Student-Council Faculty Meeting whichwas held. on November 4, may not have come up with any startling ideas , but the topics on the agenda were dis- cussed thoroughly and both students and faculty members agreed that, we ought to do this more often. The first topicwas the possible change in the service requirements for the Na- tional Honor Society. Sister Ann Paul, moderator of the Society, explained some of the reasons for a change, and then she called on Lester Goodchild to explain the point system he had devised. It was decided that the plan would be presented to the NHS members, and that the decision would be made later. As aresult of this meeting, it was de- cided that the NHS would not adopt the new method this year, but that the students in the Societywould be asked, at the end of the year, to list the activities in which they have been engaged, to assign point values to them, in order to determine whether the points that have been allo- cated to each activity are fair and pos- sible of achievement. The next topic was the request of the juniors to receive their rings in June. Since it was agreed that the ring is now a symbol of senior status rather than of graduation, it was voted that the juniors may receive their rings in June. dent of that organiZation. SENTINEL V01. XI Holy Redeemer High School, Detroit 9, Michigan, November 30, 1965 No.2 Success Course for Girls Scheduled in December A Personal Success Course conducted by Mrs. Doris Peters, personnel con- sultant and guidance counselor, will be offered to junior and senior girls some time during December. The Personal Success Course, a voca- tional guidance workshop has been pro- fessionally planned to help Catholic girls achieve the full p o t e n t i al of their God given intellects and personalities. The Course is said to be the first and only guidance course that fills these vital needs of the Contemporary Catholic girl. Matches her aptitudes to her abilities. Helps her determine her own interests. Assists her in selecting a college or a career. junior Makes City, Catholic Teams Junior Philip Milkie has been honored by the Detroit Free Press which selected him as All-City Tackle, and also by the Michigan Catholic which chose him for the Catholic AlleStar Team. . Phil, a six-fOot three, 220 pound tackle on both the defense and offense for the Redeemer Lions, constantly came up with big plays in the games against AA League contenders, said Gerry Durocher, the Sentinel Sports editor. St. Bernadette's, the grade school that Philiattended did not have a football team until the year Phil was in the eighth grade, so Phil has been playing competition for only four years. CoachMcCartney had this to say about Phil: He has played well all year, having a good game against Ser- vite. He also displayed plenty of courage by playing the entire second half of the St. Mary's game with a broken hand. Philip Milkie Techniques include f i 1m 5 , lectures , group discussions, socio-dramas, role p laying, private counseling and tests . Topics covered by the course consist of an intensive study of occupations, includ- ing such factors as how to judge an occu- pation and the dignity of woman. The Archdioceses of New York and Newark have reviewed the Personal Suc- cess Course and given full approval for submission to their girls' high schools. The tw 0 day intensive workshop had been scheduled for December 9 and 10, but due to Mrs. Peters' attendence at the last session of the Vatican Council, the course will take place some time after Mrs. Peters returns from Rome. Choral Selects Musical by Jane Camilleri With the announcement that My Fair Lady is the choice of the Choral for the annual production, student singers have been preparing to try out for the leading parts. The Choral has enough spirit and en- thusiasm to make the show a success, said Sister Georglyn, choral director, and her opinion has been echoed by the one-hundred-fifty members. Senior Anita Surma, and '65 alumna Doreen Dossai will take over the chore- ography instruction. Amid all the preparations for My Fair Lady, the Choralstill finds time to work on numbers for aprogram which they are planning to produce for the student body, and for other schools later in the year. 2 SENTINEL Our Goal: Discovery Focus of this 1965-66 school year is on the theme of discovery. What does this word, discovery , really mean? It is the act ofcoming- upon something, usually for the first time. For us at Redeemer, does discovery mean merely coming to school and finding new lighting and a new firstfloor ceiling? No! Discovery may be applied to things beyond the material . How often is it that we take the nec- essary time out to discover ourse1ves and find outjust where we are headed for and what we are going to do when we get there ? How often is it that we are truly aware, for the first time, of the needs of people around us--their feelings and emotions? In an in f o r m a1 questioning students were askedwhat discovery, as the theme of the s chool year meant to them, and what conditions are necessary for discov- ery. One reply was .. . finding new things to do and- new places to go to. Another student's answer was three- fold. Find Christ, find the importance of others, and find the 'real me' through involvement with others. A final comment was . . . the senior retreats were excellent examples of dis- covery on a personal basis. The retreats w e r e conducted in a way which allowed seniors to make many 'discoveries' not only in regard to personal spirituality, but also on a social basis. Living together for three straight days gave us a second chance to get to really know people whom we thought we knew well before. The mostimportant area for discovery is the meaning of God's presence in our lives, because without Him, there would be nothing worth discovering. Many s tude nts have 'discovered' by choosing to attend Mass several times a week. Some students, because of a much needed study, classes or m e e t i ng s at 8:00, have also 'discovered' by choosing to make an effort in attending 7:30 Mass . Whether we are Freshmen, Sopho- mores, Juniors, or Seniors, now is the time to become realistically aware of ev- erything and everyone. . . it is the time of discovery.

Letis Honor the Unknown Man At graduation time there will be many praises and honors for the seniors who have managed to survive the four-year quandary. Along about May or June the scholarships start coming in, and some students receive these highly prized awards. Various or- ganizations offer other honors. The Detroit Police Department gives an annual award for outstanding leadership and dependability. Christian spirit and initiative are recog- nized by the Christian Leadership Award. Why do we speak of this now? It's not June yet! Because there will be something missing in all these honors. Something that we ought to think about now. The fact is, that with all these honors, some of the most deserving persons, the doers, the carry-outers, the dirty-job men will be left out. We suggest that an award be given not only to the President and to officers of organi- zations, not only to those with outstanding leadership qualities, but also to the ordinary person who does what he is asked, and does it well. Recently, with the debate on whether or not the NHS should change its rules on ser-, vice, the issue of the unrecognized worker came up. It was discussed, but no definite solution was reached. We suggest that a brother award of the Christian Leadership Medal be offered for participation. Perhaps a suitable name for this award would be The Christian In- volvement Award. Such an award would involve a difficulty--that of judging which of the many students who participate is worthy of this award. Who is to judge? Since the question would involve the students in the clubs, they should be given some voice in the decision. This could be accomplished at the Student Council-Faculty Meeting, where senior reps could nominate their candidate for the award by submitting evidence of his past record. But we feel that the most fair appraisal and final judgment should rest with the faculty, as it does with other school awards. We realize that the students do not join organizations to receive awards. Yet, those students who work in two or three clubs for as many years should receive some recog- nition. Such a person is a basic factor in the school, for like an army aschool must have soldiers before it can have generals. Those who serve should be given some of- figial recognition in June.

The cafeteria line up was considered part of their education. Chaos ruled supreme, and confusion was prime minister as the Parent-Teach- er Guild held a classroom workshop on October 27. The parents participated in atypicalschool day in short order form . The day began with PA announce- ments and a welcoming address by PTG President, Mr. James Alexander. Mr. Alexander spoke of the communication problems between adults and teens. When the first exchange bell rang, the race was on! Despite the help of the stra- tegically placed student guides, parents persisted in getting lost, and even though they had a four minute exchange period manywere observed guiltily creeping into a class five or six minutes late. How- ever, no tardy slips were given. Many and varied remarks were heard during the ex'change: They should have elevators. Why don't they have esca- lators? I'mgoinghome. NowIknow why kids drop out of school. One guide commented They look like we did on our first day at Redeemer , while another ex- claimed, This place looks like a sub- way! But one determinedly optimistic parent looked on the brighter side. All this climbing must be good for the fig- ure gasped Mrs. tWelch. 4 7 .R'xf. Two parents observe samples of drafting papers in Mr. Ziemba's class. During the ten minute classes, the ac- ademic goals of each were explained and occasional problems taken care of; Sister Berchmans reassured one mother who had spent half the night looking for a bug for an experiment that she would try to give longer notice. The teachers are terrific! said one father.. The parents are marvelous observed Sister Josepha. But as exchange 5 wore on, and the physically unfit p a r e nt 5 became more tired, the questions asked of the guides becamewilder andwilder: Is 212 on the second floor? Is the thir d floor up- stairs? Where's the cafeteria? Is that the get-there bell? Most parents retained enough energy to gather in the cafeteria for coffee and doughnuts. Mr. Alexander thanked the tireless PTGworkers and reminded them that the next meeting was in December, about S e x and D a t i ng -- We're really gonna roast this one out. Brickley Previews Election The guest speaker at the assembly on October 29 was Councilman James A. Brickley. The thirty-sixyear old mem- ber of the Detroit Common Council in- formed the student body about some of the projects that the City of Detroit is undertaking at the present time. He spoke of the need of government to interest young men and women in politics, and encouraged the students to take an ac- tive interest in civic affairs. After his talk, he was questioned by a senior panel, including Jane Camilleri, Julie Dashkevicz, JudyDeutschman, Don Marangere, and Lester Goodchild. Mother Ann Mary treats Margie Melnik, Fred Wood and Mary Boris to an apple. Bishop Neumann Center 0pen Holy Redeemer parish is currently set- ting up a Community Action Center in the yellow brick house next to the gym. The newly purchased house is being used as a re-organization center for the apostolic life in the parish. The house will be known as the Bishop Neumann Center. The projectlis developing under the di- rection of ReverendDonaldMiller, in the spirit of Pope John XXIII, who asked for renewal in personal involvement in the living Church. To prepare the house for its opening, a cleaning crew of students joined forces November 6 to give the Action Center an overall cleaning. The crew worked under the direction of Sister Jane Edward and the chairmanship of Senior, Linda Braun . Jobs to be done consisted of washing and polishing woodwork, cleaning win- dows, mopping floors and scrubbing the fireplace. :Senior FredWood, observing that many areas in the house needed a paint job, v01- unteered his services. The pause that refreshes was sup- plied with the compliments of Mother Ann Mary. Abucket of apples, boxes of cook- ies and a pot full of hot chocolate gave workers the needed lift. Senior Claudia Dominski helps to get the house in order. 4 SENTINEL November 30 . 196 5 Senior Boys Strengthen Their Faith at Retreat By Lester Goodchild, Gerry Durocher, and Duane Pennebaker Herb Klotz and Duane Pennebaker watch Ted Tlurzek summon the boys to chapel. The sun was bright and the temperature was mild as the S e nior m e n filed into bus es for their long awaited retreat at CYO Carnp. Father Collins, Mother Ann Mary, and Father Monroe wished the boys 21 mean- ingful retreat. In the cavalcade Port- Sanilac-bound was Father Tom Danielson, the retreat master, six counselors, and Mr. Howard. The journey to camp was filled with pretzels, used oranges, and hot tunapies. The men, being city slickers, took the opportunity to c h e c k out the country scenery. By 7:30 of the same day, the column reached its destination and the boys scrambled to the recreation hall, where they officially met Father. They were given cabin mates, dashed to their bung- alows, and picked their bunks. The retreat began officially that night with Holy Mass. Then there was a hoot- enanny and a night football game. After these activities the lights went out and so did some people, except for a few night- ow ls who managed to hoot a bit. Some testified that there was a light rain that night. Go away! You're crazy! I'm not get- ting up for you or any one! said the spry young men as Mr. H ow ar d challenged the m to rise in the early morning fog . Needless to say, all appeared for break- fast, and the breakfast disappeared. There were many opportunities to go to Confession. Hey, he's not in the box I We're supposed to go to his room 9 Not me! This was the firs t feeling about open confession, but the word 5 pr e ad quickly that it was really great, and eV- eryone went. Most of the men found con- fession the most helpful part of the re- treat. During the retreat there was a silence period for private devotion--a time for thought and prayer. Some walked in the woods, some along a small winding creek. Others read books in their cabins. To getthe most meaning from Father's conferences, there was a discussion fol- lowing each one. Everyone was frank, and much was gained. As Father said, the center of the re- treat was Holy Mass. Saturday after- noon this became more than true. Instead of sitting in the pews, the men gathered around the altar to witness Christ's Mys- tical Death. No longer were the Seniors j ust watching, they were actively par- ticipating. All of us are types of priests, said Father. I am the official representa- tive, but all of you are offering the Mass too. At the end of Mass thecongregation sang, The Times They are A-Changing' and from then on it seemed that something had changed. The Stations of the Cross were laid out along the camp road and to many it seemed that they were actually following Christ's path to Calvary. In the afternoon Conference on Satur- day, Fathe r talked about Christ. He was a man. He didn'tresemble a woman . Sometimes he was sweaty and dirty; often he was tired. He was stoned and his fol- lowers were stoned. Religion isn't made for sissies--religion is for men. The social highlight of the retreat was the hootenanny. Out came the electric guitars and up went the Go-Go boys. Pop- ular s ongs were sung and even a little jerking was done on the make-shift stage . But Fred Sroka stole the show as his ren- dition of the Freddie brought cheers from e ve r yon e . Mr. Howard also showed some active interest. 31 Mike Manriquez, Duane Pennebaker, Gerry Durocher, Joe Farrugia, Ray Hernandez, and Dennis Reaume voice their approval of the cooks as the food disappears. 33'; z - I a, Tom Clark and two counselors receive Holy Communion from retreat master, Father Tom Danielson. Sunday came, and Mass was the center of the morning, as everyone gathered a- round the altar again. Then, in the final conference Father gave the Papal Bless- ing, and expressed the hope that all would profit in some way from the days of re- treat. At lunch the boys gave the cooks a standing ovation for great food--including the home made bread and pies. Then the exodus got under way, suit- cases were put in the buses and good-by's said to Father. Slowly the buses rolled up the road to the outside world. The the me song of the retreat spoke now for the Senior men: For the times they are a-changin' You better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone, .4; l U i I I Z 3 5 l I l 1 l i l l 1 5 t .3 I E I F I K I November 30 , 1965 The celebrants of the Founders' Day Anniversary Mass, Father Donald Miller, Father Henry McKeever, Father Clair Collins, Father Michael Pathe, and Father Edward Monroe pause in the sacristy just before the Mass starts. Concelebrution Commemorutes Anniversaries A Mass of concelebration on Novem- ber 9 marked the founding anniversaries of the Redemptorist Order, and the Con- gregation of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These two anniversaries are celebrated on November 9 and 10 re- spectively. The five celebrants of Holy Mass were Father Clair Collins, P as tor; Father Michael Pathe; Father Henry McKeever; Father Donald Miller; and Father Edward Monroe, assistants. This group of celebrants included the oldestand the youngest priests stationed at Holy Redeemer. In his homily, Father Collins explained. the significance of th e concelebration and remarked that it was fitting that ev- ery member of the living Church was rep- resented: young, old, religiousand laity. The Student Council participated in the Offertory Procession; Brother Richard was the lector. In the congregation were Sisters, lay people, grade and high school students. RE Hosts YCS Study Day Live Love and Love Life is the theme of the YCS Study Day, which will be held at Redeemer, December 5, from noon until 7:30 p. m. The purpose of the study day is to be- gin a city-Wide YCS Federation in Detroit. Specialguests willinclude, Archbishop John F. Dearden and Father Joseph Lu- chermo, who will speak on the topic of community life. The day's activities will consist of dis- cussionperiods, group reports, the sac- rifice of Holy Mass in the gym and a social hour in the Blue Room. Birthday gifts from the students to the priests and the sisters included cigars, flowers, and cakes. It is rumored that the Sophomores were invited by Father Collins to sample their gift cake. They agreed that it is possible, the proverb not- withstanding, to give your cake and eat it too. No birthday celebration is complete withoutaparty, said Mother Ann Mary , as she invited the entire student body to an ice cream sundae treat.

SENTINEL 5 Proiect Sparks Sodality By Anna Korzeniowski ProjectUnity better known as Unity A Go G0 was held on October 30 and 31 at the University of Detroit High School . Six of Redeemer's Sodalists attended the program 5 p0 n s o r e d by The Forty Group, an organization of Sodalities from U. of D. , Mercy, Benedictine, and Im- maculata High Schools. The purpose of the program was to unite Sodalists in their Apostolate. Saturday's schedule consisted of dis- cussion groups in which the delegates dis- cussed the individual problems of their S o d a l i t i e 5; Mass and various work- shops. Some of the workshops included Hard Core, CYO, CCD, Social Work, and Catholic Charities. The Sunday session which began with Mass was highlighted by a talk given by Father Campbell S. J. Father spoke on the need for Sodalists to project a better image in accordance with the changes in the Church. He also encouraged the So- dalists to extend their apostolates throughout their school and community. Va tican Slides Mr. Tony Spina, Detroit Free Press Photographer, presented a slide lecture at the Student-Council sponsored assem- blyNovember 12. Slides included candid photos of the late Pope John XXIII. Mr . Spina told of his personal experiences while photographing Pope John, describ- ing the late pontiff's simplicity and hu- manness. The opening of the Ecumenical Council , the funeral of Pope John and the election of Pope Paul VI were included in the slides, along with various views of St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican, and the Sistine Chapel. Mr. Spina, who has photographed many of the world's gr eat personalities re- marked thatwhile it is usually the photog- rapher who tries to relax his subject; the r e v e r s e was true when he was photo- graphing Pope Jo hn . The Holy Father was eager to put Mr. Spina at ease. Mr. Spina also included a brief picture- summaryof the career of the late Pres- ident John F. Kennedy. 6 SENTINEL Students Ask, lWiII It Be- A Teacher or a Machine?' By Nancy Kieleszewski Redeemer's F u t u r e Teachers had a chance to widen their horizons on Satur- day, October 30. The occasion was the annual Future Teacher Day at the Univer- sity of Detroit, the one day of the year when students get together to learn about their future profession, The theme of this year's program was A Teacher or a Machine? The theme was appropriate in view of today's mod- ern ideas of teaching methods. After the opening speeches the students proceeded to rooms where they heard lec- tures on the various fields of teaching. Students received advice and information on such fields as kindergarten, elemen- tary, primary and special education for the blind and deaf. A movie which followed the workshops , pointed out the specific educational needs of children in the De troit area. After lunch, a buzz session brought students toge ther and allowed them to express themselves and to get to know each other better. Entertainment was p r o v i d e d by the U. of D. Singing Titans to end a day of learning andfun for the Future Teachers of Redeemer. . Lunch was served in the StudentUnion Building, and though it was a stop and go procedure, some thought that the socia- bility highlighted the day. November 60, 1965 Tom Cupples, Charles Zammit, and Chris Shibel dance and clap without a worry in the world knowing their dates for the Sadie have taken care of all the arrangements. Boys Enioy Themselves; Girls Foot the Bill After weeks of planning, plotting, and promoting, the Sadie Hawkins Dance be- came a reality on November 12., On that night the ladies cautiously rang doorbells and collected their dates for the evening . In true Dogpatch style, the boys ac- cepted the vegetable corsages and bouton- nieres offered by their dates. Mr. Norander wasn't too surprised to see the girls presenting the tickets . This is the second annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. Senior Skin Divers Explore Michigan and Canadian Waters Skin diving and Scuba diving is an ex- citing sportenjoyed by some fifteenemil- lionAmericans. Several of these fifteen million attend Holy Redeemer. Seniors Gerry Durocher, Jack Clear, Bob No- vak, and Chris Scagnetti have enjoyed all aspects of the sport. These diving enthusiasts tell us that there is a difference be tw e e n skin and scuba diving. The skin diver uses only the essential equipment of mask and fins . If he uses asnorkel, he is sometimes re- ferred to as asnorkeler. These skin di- vers have made dives up to 120 feet on one lung full of air. Scuba is s hort for Self Contained Under-Water B r e a t hi ng Apparatus. This apparatus is made upof a cylindrical shaped tank that is compressed with nor- mal air. The regulator is the breathing appara- tus, which releases air from the tank ef- fortlessly to the diver. It can be either single or double hose. It has one, two, or three stages. These stages release the air from the tank and break it down to the surrounding atmospheric conditions. The tanks come in different sizes and numbers up to four tanks in use at one time. The tank holds up to 3000 P. 8.1 . tpounds per square inchl. Redeemerites have dive d in several lakes throughout Michigan and plan many more in Canada. Most of the boys have been skin diving for three to six years , and they started 5 c uba during the past summer. They have found sunken row boats, a new diving mask and snorkel, an oldwater heater, as well as several other divers andfish. They plan to take under-water pictures in the future, dive for ocean g0- ing wrecks in the Great Lakes. This sport, however, is not confined to the male sex. Jeanne Lange2 a former Redeemer student has made a dive down to thirty feet last summer. The decoration committee, headed by Barb Brombach, had created a fantasy- land of balloon trees and paper flowers: A fragile swing, with flower ropes looked almost goodenough to swing in, but ev- eryone refrained. It looked too delicate . Park benches, on loan from the De- partment of Parks and Recreation were much more stable, comfortable, and con- venient. The band, M e dina and the Medita- tions , kept the dog-patchers clapping and dancing the whole evening. Since their repertoire did not include Misty Eyes , they substituted Eve of Destruction in a dedication to bed-ridden Bob Garland.

New Ski Club Enlists 150 President Dan Arrebla announced the beginning of the Redeemer Ski Club at the end of October before any snow fell and already it has gained 150 members from all classes. Mr. Downey, senior teacher, is the moderator. The other officers are Vice- President, Jack Clear; Secretary, Terry Salazar; and Treasurer, Bob Novak. Allare experienced ski enthusiasts ex- cept Mr. Downey who has never been on skis in his life. The members are convinced that too few people understand or enjoy the art of skiing. They are determined to share their knowledge with potential Redeemer ski bunnies. The club has planned two ski trips a month for December throughMarch. The lar ge number makes it possible to re- ceive discounts for equipment, instruc- tion and transportation.

This was the question raised atarecent meeting of the LibraryAdvisory Committee- -a group of seventeen adults interested in the devel- opment of the Open Library Program. The group found it necessary to have a clear statement of the history and purpose of the program before they attempted to discuss the problems. Sister Marie Angela explained that Fa- ther Collins, Pastor of Holy Redeemer , had long desired to enrich the culture of the neighborhood by op e ning the high school library to the public. About the same time, the Archdiocesan Opportunity Program tAOPi decided to extend its boundaries to include Holy Re- deemer. Therefore the high school li- brary openedto the public on May 15. The present staff: Mrs. Mary Kauza, Mrs. Patricia King, Susan King, Bob King, Gregory Schwartz, Mary Abela, and Joanne Parrino, has worked hard to keep the program progressing. With the help of Sister Marcia and Mr . Robert Ovies, three hundred new books have been purchased, ranging from one hundr ed children's books to books for senior citizens. Under the regulation of the AOP, none of the books are on reli- gious matter. It was after a general meeting of all AOP employees, held at Felician Acad- emy that the Advisory Committee went into action. The Committee has noted the lack of address for the library and suggested that apermanentsignbe erected. One mem- ber suggested that the library be better advertised, and so a poster contest was initiated. Reverend Donald Hall, pastor of the Campbell Avenue Methodist Church, re- marked at arecent session of the Library Advisory Committee that the open li- brary is important in bringing a greater ecumenical spirit into the ne ighborhood. The Golden Lion tamed by Mary Benedict '68, and Sail Into Victory skippered by Maryanne Dombrowski '66, ledthe Annual Car Parade as first place winner and runner- h. ; i l w- Seated around the end of the table at an AOP Meeting in the high school library are Mrs. King, Mrs. Melcher, Mrs. Fritts, Reverend Donald Hall, Mr. John Steadley, Father Donald Miller, Gregory Schwartz, and Robert King. Sister Marie Angela, the high school librarian, presided at the meeting. Father Treinen Heads RenewaI The Blue Room was the scene of a re- treat renewal, the first of it's kind at Re- deemer. The senior girls eagerly as- sembled on Tuesday, October 26 to get some brush-up points by Father John Treinen, who had conducted the Senior Girls' Retreat at the CYO Camp in the latter part of September. Marianne Donnelly, class Vice-presi- dent, extended an informal welcome to Father and the gir ls , and Linda Braun briefly outlined some ideas they wished to have reviewed. Faith was the subject of the conference . We never know anything until someone tells us, and even then we must take it on faith, said Father Treinen. up respectively. First prize earned $25. 00; second prize, $20. 00 . Father also distinguished between be- lief and knowing. We believe when we are told, we know when we can see. He gave the example of Christ telling us he will be with us always. We cannot see Godwith us so we must believe, we must have faith. After the conference, there was aques- tion and answer period, followed by re- freshments. While eating the cookies and drinking the pop, the girls sang songs reminis- cent of the retreat. After the hootenanny Father Treinen left the senior girls with a blessing and his best wishes.

The Falcons ripped the Lions again in the second quarter and added their third touchdown of the first half. The third q u ar te r saw Divine Child dr iving again. Bashara went back to pass. Sherwood was in the end zone. Bob Novak of Redeemer intercepted this pass and ran it back for a 103 yard touchdown tprobably state recordl to put the Lions on the scoreboard.

This meeting, the first of its kind in the historyof the school, has been arranged for the purpose of discussing some prob- lems which require both adult experience and teen-age imagination. In preparation for this meeting, the of- ficers of the various school organizations have been given a chance to evaluate the new National Honor Society plans. The re vi 5 ed plans will be discussed at the faculty-student meeting. Referring to the requirements for Na- tional Honor Society me mbership, Mother said, We wish to maintain scholastic standards, as well as the standards of Christian service, since we know that the purpose of know ledge is the service of our fellow men. Another item that will be discussed is the requestof the Junior Class to receive their rings at the end of the Junior year. Meetings of this type may be held at least three times during the school year, depending on the need for them. Bishop-elect Joseph M. Breitenbeck Four Seniors Attend Boysi Day By Jerry Connelly '66 SeniorsJerry Connelly, James Munoz, Michael Manriquez, and William Ross, represented Holy Redeemer at the an- nual Boys' Day, on October 13. The convention which took place at the Veteran's Memorial Building was a pre- liminary step, leading to the honorary taking over of the city government by the elected boy officials. The purposeof the convention is to se- lect boys for the offices of mayor, city treasurer, cityclerk, and the nine coun- cilmenwhowillrule for a day on October 20, as honorary officials. NOminations for the office were made by four committees, consisting of three members each. The nominees were al- lowed a limited time for speeches which were to present a civic platform. Michael Manriquez was nominated for the Council, and although he was not e- lected, he was appointed Election Com- missioner. His speech was concerned primarily with the control of w ate r pollution and the investigation of industry, which may be the major cause of the problem. On October 20, the boys who partici- pated in the convention were present at a $25. 00 plate dinner, at the Statler - Hilton Hotel. This program was originated in 1952 by a group of civic-minded citizens who were interested in acquainting the youth of Detroit with the responsibilities of a large city government, and to impress upon them the duties of a leader. Michael Manriquez tcenterl takes a last look at his speech for the Boys' Day Con- vention, while James Munoz trightl and JerryConnelly encourage him. William Ross was the fourth representative. Will Remain As Pastor At Assumption Grotto The Right Reverend Joseph Matthew Breitenbeck, aRedeemer alumnus of the Class of 1932, was namedauxiliarybishop of the Archdiocese of Detroit. He will continue as pastor of Assumption Grotto Parish, where he has been since 1959. Bishop Breitenbeck was ordained to the priesthood in 1942 at Blessed Sacrament Cathedral, by the late Edward Cardinal Mooney. He has been secretary, both to the Cardinal, and to Bishop Dearden. When Pope Paul visited Detroit as a Monsignor, in 1951, he stayed with Car- dinal Mooney. Monsignor Breitenbeck had the privilege of taking the future pope on a tour of the City of Detroit. Bishop Dearden said the appointment of Bishop Breitenbeckwas welcome news for the entire archdiocese. The dignity of being numbered among the successors to the Apostles, that to which Pope Paul VI has now nominated me, is a most illustrious one, the new bishop said. I cannot help but be impressed, how- ever with the thought of the fearful re- sponsibilities, which the bearer of that dignity must assume. Upperdussmen Gain Five Points Each The classes of '66 and '67 were vic- torious in their attempts to capture the first M y r o n F r i t t 5 Memorial trophy points, each winning five points. The Seniors were victorious in the car parade, while the Juniors came out on top in the SENTINEL Drive. The S e nior 5 led the Dads' Club Car Parade with twenty entries. Junior and Frosh classes entered eleven cars each and Sophomorestrailed with five entries. The grand prize of $25. 00 was awarded to Mary Benedict '68 while Marianne Dombrowskitook home second place and $20. 00. Pictures willbe in the next issue of the SENTINEL. Familiar words of the SENTINEL Sub- scription Drive Think BIG, think SENTINEL , spurred the Junior clas 5 on to take first place and a class per- centage of 83. 2. Seniors followedwith79.8, Sophomores were third with 73. 4 and the Frosh were fourthwith 61. 2. The SENTINEL school percentage was 74. 9. 2 SENTINEL October 29 , 1965 Hus He Come To Stay? He cannot be seen. He is an intangible thing. He doesn't speak to show his pres- ence. He doesn't wear clothes or have long hair. But his slightest touch can be felt. Vghen he's there, there is no mis- take about it. Who is he? you ask. He was there when the money came in for the SENTINEL drive. The percente ages began to rise. The paper would be published; there would be e no ugh sub- scriptions. The junior class r e a c he d first place, an upset to the s uppo s ed status quo. The sophs rallied their forces to get more subscriptions. The frosh attained the highest percentage that f r o s h ever have in the drive, even though they placed fourth. Who is he? you ask. Roll the onion across the floor, bark- ed someone. Get on your knees, shout- ed another. Yet, during the frosh ini- tiation, no one received rough treatment . There'was only fun. He e njoye d it . After 3:00, the torture, as the freshmen thought, endedwith friendship instead of violence. Who is he? you ask. The s t u de nt 5 are free at exchange They walk at their own 5 p e e d , without fear of an unjust m o nito r . They have gained this privilege as adults. Who is he? you ask. Boom! 1ike - the sound of a cannon echoing across the playing field. Drums! The crowd stands, a man is tackled . Everyone cheers! Aplayer is hurt. The stands are silent. He is there. Who is he? you ask. Boom! Win or lose? It doesn't mat- ter. As long as the drums in people beat, or their hands get sweaty with anxiety, he remains. Who is he? you ask. He is SPIRIT! SPIRIT is here! SCHOLARSHIPS Charlotte Bickes received a $1000 scholarship to Mercy School of Nursing, as the result of an exam. Noreen Ann Calus also received a scholarship to Mercy College. All That's Needed Is 0 Push f U! n -s-u-:r-I:n-n WANTED: More Man Power A man can do great things if he puts his mind to them. He has the strength to do things that women are not capable of doing. But there is vital need for evidence of more man power at Redeemer. Our varsity men spend endless hours training. The response of the boys to the re- quest for servers and lectors was satisfying. The male members of the Student Coun- cil and the Class Officers devote much time and effort toward strengthening the school and class spirit. These men have made themselves known. But where are the others? Redeemer is not a girls' school. It should be supported by boys as well as girls. The new system of mixed homerooms can give us the long-awaited opportunities for working together. If the girls always dominate, and the boys let them do the work, we may be defeating the purpose of the system. The men at Redeemer have great potential. It's about time they stood up and let themselves be counted as those who will make 1965-66 a great year for Redeemer. Graduates of '65 Step Into Demanding Roles As Adults Five months have p a s s e d since Re- Four Redeemerites are attending busi- deemer's class of '65 graduated. What are they doing now?

By Ramona Misiunas '66 While five new teachers were spending some time finding their way around Re- deemer's maze, five of last year's fac- ulty were doing the same thing in other schools or environments. Sister Eucharia, the champion of mis- sionaries, who would sellasong for a do- nation to a worthy cause, has retired to an active life at St. Mary Convent in Mon- roe. She holds a record of thirteen years at Redeemer which is excelled o n 1y by Sister Ignatius, who has spent seventeen years at Redeemer during two stayss Sister Ignatius has retired to her fa- vorite parish and convent- -H01y Redeem- er. She doesn't come over to school any more butfinds plenty to keep her busy in the convent. She already has her order in for a copy of the first issue of the SENTINEL. Sister Octavia, former junior teacher and class advisor, business teacher, and cheerleader most excellent tremember Port Sanilac last year, girlsl has taken her talents to Sacred Heart School, Dearborn. Sister Josanne returned from her trip to Africa with many new impressions of people and places. Now she is sharing her experiences with the students of St . Patrick's, Wyandotte. Sister Mary Columba, who traces her Vermont ancestry back to Sam Wilson, the or iginal Uncle Sam , has moved right out of the city to St. John, Jackson , where she teaches Religion and English. Sister Jame 5 Agnes showed the Re- deemer spirit when she came from Port Huron Catholic during the Senior Girls' Retreat, to see her old friends. Students Participate in leadership Course Forty-two Redeemerites are partici- pating in the Gabriel Richard Leadership Training Course. The nine-week course has luredseniors, juniors, sophomores , and freshmen. Mother Ann Mary and Father Monroe who were instrumental in bringing the course to Redeemer opened it to all on a volunteer basis. A two-hour session eachMonday in the Blue Room after school provides learning experiences in the skills essential for leadership. In the first session, the emphasis was on memory. A leader must remember names, said Mr. John Gallagher, the instructor for the first session. As an aid to memory, he taught the secretof word association. For example, Sue Omilian will sue for a million if you forget her name. Mr. Don Esper, in another session, gave the students practice in speaking extemporaneously before a group. In the remaining weeks, creativity, self-confidence, and clear-headed logi- cal thinking will be emphasized. Dennis Glasgow and Bill Sirhan share a joke at the leadership class. The Institute was founded in 1949 for the purpose of training potentialleaders. Using Father Richard as an example of community leadership, the Institute de- sires to arouse among teens an aware- ness of world-wide p r o bl e m s , and to guide potential leaders into areas where they can best help in the extension of the Kingdom of God on earth. 4 SENTINE L October 29, 1965 Retreat Sets Pattern for Unity In Family of God The chapel at Port Sanilac was a place for quiet meditation and prayer. With a blessing from Father Monroe and a cheerful Bon Voyage from Mother Ann Mary, the senior girls left the big RE for their weekend retreat at Port Sanilac, on September 17. The sixty-five retreatants were in high spirits, munching goodies, sipping pop, and singing, until a major problem arose . The road to Sanilac was being paved, and instead of taking the detour, the bus driv- er decided to try the muddy road. A tourist car slipped between the two buses and got stuck inthe mud. The bus driver courteously pushed the car up and out, and then the bus itself got stuck. The spirit of adventure was strong, so the girls piled out of the buses and pushed it on to drier land. In spite of the de1ay, the girls reached camp only a little later than schedu1ed. Enjoying Soon after arrival, Sister Peter Cani- sius read a note from the Junior girls which expressed their wishes for a suc- cessful retreat. After being assigned to their cabins, the girls were 5 er ved hot cocoa and doughnuts to supplement what was left from the lunches. After this snack, the retreat began officiallywith a conference in chapel. The theme of the first conference gave the purposeof the retreat, to come clos- er to Christ. Father explained that their retreat master was really Christ, and that he, Father Treinan was only a poor substitute. Rise and Shine The sun rose early, and so did some of the girls, but others rose later than plan- ned. After breakfast F a t he r gave the first of four conferences for the day. Fa- ther spoke about the necessity and the characteristics ofsainthood, The worst tragedy in life, said Father Treinan, is not to become a saint. God loves little people, he continued . Then he gave as an example of littleness , David, the humble shepherdboy, destined by God to become a great King, because he realized his dependence upon God. After each conference, there was time for discussion, meditation, long walks on the beach, or visits to the chapelo Si- lence was not required. Mass, both on Saturday and Sunday was the center of the day's activities. Active participation included an Offertory Pro- cession in which all took part, the kiss of peace, at which each girl placed her foldedhands in the hands of another, and the joining of hands at the Our Father. W C ..- V... e sun and shore are Chris Lueck, Marianne Hassett, Sister Louis Gillet, Valerie Sant-Angelo, Sue Walsh, BettySaunders, Maryanne Dombrowski, LynnNeeley, Emily Cuscheri, Sister Peter Canisius, Dorothy Boda, Beverly Lengyl, andSister Joan Mary. This group preferred their discussions in the open air. Susan Lesko gives the symbolic greeting to Sister Berchmans at Mass. Saturday afternoon Mother Ann Mary and Sister Georglyn came to visit the re- treatants, and to bring the food for the weinie roast. Eat, Sing and Be Merry Saturday evening was the occasion of the combination cook-in and hootenanny at the fireplace in the Assembly Hall. Barb MacDonald led the hootenanny with her trusty guitar. New and old favorites were on the program, especially the folk songs that everyone loves. In the middle of the fun, Sister Berch- mans announced the victory of the team over Bishop Gallagher, and Sister A1- phonsus, who had been informed secretly of the victory, held the camera in readi- ness, to catch the look of surprise and Joy. The news and the reaction to it seemed to emphasize the feeling of unity that was growing during these days of being to- gether. Praying and Meditating S u n d a y dawned cold and windy. Not many girls were up and a r o u n d before seven-thirty, but all were 0 n time for breakfast at eight o'clock. After the nine o'clock conference there was time for discussion, counseling, and thinking. Onlya few hardy souls visited the lake shore. Mass at 11:15 climaxed the retreat, and a spirit of unity seemed to permeate the atmosphere. Everyone seemed to be try- ing to make every last minute count. During the Mass, Sister James Agnes s lipp e d in and stayed for dinner and a short visit after. The final conference was followed by the Papal Blessing. This ended the actual retreat, but the spiritual energy that was created at Port Sanilac sho Id be suffi- cient to keep the fire of love that was kin- dledthere burning. Perhaps it will even spread to others. .1; : . i I l I . a l I l I a I l ! I l l I E i; g: I .

In a spirit of nnity and ecumenism, the faculty of Holy Redeemer began the new school year with a triple program, which included the professional, re- ligious, and social aspects of teaching. On October 7. while most of the stu- dents were dusting;r off their notebooks or buying new ones, the faculty came to dust off the old ideas, discard some of them. and buy some new ones. A business meeting, where it is rum- ored that muchof the new look was concocted, began the day's activities. Then at noon, after a morning of or- ganizing and planning, the faculty parti- cipated in Holy Mass at the convent chapel. Tin Soldiers Go To Battle Bob Murray and Rosemary Croteau '69 Well, there it was! A day that would bring the fr'es h m an anxiety and fear! With a deep breath, holding their heads high, they walked in. No sudden streaks of lightning, no tornado stopped them. Their first big step was accomplished and it took a lot of courage. Now they could say to thems e Ives with a little pride, I did it There were so many exits and corri- dors, schedules and teachers ! Dave Ross took transcription for two days be- fore he discovered he was in the wrong room. Then, Friday, October 15 came and went, leaving behind traces of shaving cream, baby food. and tricycle tracks. The Seniors and Frosh had become the best of friends. Initiation was over and the freshmen have been officially made a part of the Redeemer family. You might call this group typical freshmen , if anyone knows what a typi- cal freshmanis. Theywere ready to buy anything, and, by the way, elevator per- mits are still in 1ar ge demand, so any studentwith an extra pass in his posses- sion, please turn it in to Room 207. Father Monroe, spiritual director of the high school was the celebrant; Mr. Kesco, a new seventh grade teacher was the acolyte; and Mr. Howard, a senior teacher. was the lector. After Mass :1 lunchwas served smor- gasbord style. FatherMiller and Father Walsh joined the faculty for a bite to eat and a bit of sociability. The only entertainment reported was Father Miller's attempt to juggle his plate while keeping an eye on the roving photographer. t . Father Miller joins the faculty for lunch in the convent dining room. Sentinel Wins DSPA First Three SENTINEL staff members at- tended the Seventh Annual Detroit Stu- dent Press Association Convention at U-D Memorial Building on October 9.

SENTINEL 5 Choral Plans Emphasize Quality and Quantity By Nancy Kieleszewski '68 Leaves of brown may be tumbling in October, but for the Redeemer Choral June is bustin' out all over with plans for the entire year. Sister Georglyn says, One of the goals for the year is to build up a large reper- toire of classical and secular songs so that they can visit'other schools. She added that this goal can be attained, because of the enthusiastic spirit, and the fine musical participation, not only in the choral practice periods but in the singing at Mass also. Sister and the Choral are striving for 21 Superior Rating in the Adjudication in the spring. Other goals are to learn the whole mu- sicalscore of The Sound of Music, and to produce the annual show earlier than usual. Sister Georglynis assisted in planning the year's work by several students who have been elected to responsible offices by the members of the Choral. The newly-elected Choral officers for the year are: President. Robert Seal; Vice-President, Celia Schwab, Secre- tary: Susan Drotar; Treasurers, Donald King and Vanessa Banko; and Public Re- lations, Jane Camilleri. New Fixtures Bring Confusion What's new at Redeemer? Look up! Look down! Look straight ahead. No matterwhere you look there's something new to see. Students have been quick to evaluate the improvements. S a ndr a Pomicter re- members how the students used to bump into each other blindly in the dim lights of the corridors. Now it is possible, she said, to know who is bumping into you. ' Susan King remarks that with the new bright lights in the corridors, there is a chance to bone up on the material for' the test that's coming next period. Could the new, comfortable chairs in the library be, in any way, responsible for the sudden interest in research9 Relax and study, but beware! Some students are suffering from muscle lag since they no longer have the opportun- ity of weight lifting. The old chairs had to be picked up and moved quietly. The new ones are light and offer no resistance to muscles. Some students thought that the purpose of the lowered ceiling on first floor was to keep tall students out, but this is not so. LeoPapawill vouch for the fact that he has little or no trouble. 6 SENTINE L Mr. McCartney strides toward the bus just before the first game of the season. Team Merit System Started Coach McCartney has brought a few in- novations into the athletic department. An example of this is the establishment of a merit system.

Our aim is to provide youth with an opportu- nity to take an active part in the spread- ing of the love of God and the salvation of souls. His one desire is to see religion come out of the classrooms and become evident in the dailv lives of our s tude nts. To studythe Massis one thing, to go to Mass is another. Father promises that if he finds enough students interested in the Mass P1edge-- by which a student undertakes to attend Mass once, twice or every day--he will advertise the project in the classrooms. This project is the brainchild of the Le- gion of Mary and will be explained by its members in the near future. owssri Onweekends and during Yves' summer vacation, he stayed at Yves' home, the Chateau d'Angrie.

New Ideas Spark YCS Innovation is the root of all progress. With this in mind, Anita Surma and Janet Upton set out to look for members that theythoughtwould be interested in Young Christian Students and invited them to join. This proceduree-called the selec- tive method--has been both praised and condemned. - The thing is to get the natural leaders of the school from EVERY group and train them in such a way that they will be able to make all the students AWARE of their faith, saidSister Louis Gillet, modera- tor of the YCS. Even le a d e r 5 need leaders. Father Monroe, Sister Louis Gillet, Anita Sur- ma, and Janet Upton now head the dis- cussions but hope to have others within a month. Activities of the YCS this year will in- clude the CasaMaria Center, Human Re- lations, and the Ju nio r RoundaTable , where Teens of many faiths get together and define their beliefs.
