2 SENTINEL May 31, 1966 Three Seniors Awarded Christian leadership Medals How does a leader emerge from a group? 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.

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.
