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.

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. We won! A light moment during retreat came when it was announced that the team When the guys think of it Fred Sroka back home had won its first game. Rejoicing are: Connie Solis, Fran Koscielniak, will feel like dancing, Mr. Howard will Emily Pace, Elaine Zamojski, Lynne Neeley, Liz Zaliagiris, Maryanne Dombrowski, hesitate before opening a door, Robert Pat Brucki, Sue Parker, RamonaMisiunas, Vicki Baukys, and Cheryl LaSalle. 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. Senior Awards A Mrs. Miller SingingScholarship to CeliaSchwab based on her per- formance as the Cheerleader at the Junior-Senior Game. Canadian Patriotism Award to Don Marangere.

We also have ambitious people like Ron Nowakowski who asked five kids in his Data Processing Class for $50 each so he could build a computer; and people who have a special liking for Sloppy Joe's, like Mary Lou Happ. Althouthim Choate doesn't know what profession to choose yet, being torn be- tween farming and teaching, we extend congratulations to him on his first ex- perience in the latter. 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.

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.
