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.

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.

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'll show the whole student body We surpass them all. We'll all stick together In all kinds of weather, The Seniors of Sixty-Six. Rah! Rah! Rah! 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.
