May 31, 1966 SENTINEL 13 'The Timesi They Are A-Changin By Gregory Zak '68 There are many people throughout the land, Who criticize what they can't decipher, Have Sophomores fit their neat category Of things they just can't understand? 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. We will be there actin' as one -- The mighty class of '68. These are the sophomore members of the National Honor Society. 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. By Margaret Malone '68 C'mon, everybody join in, Everyone's doing it! Well, I won't! I am perhaps but a cell in an organism, A thorn of a bush, A page in a book, But I am ME An individual A self My self. I am a piece of a puzzle! Small, puny, inferior but lose one piece of a puzzle And what do you have? A picture with a hole in it. I fill that hole. I complete the picture I am ME.

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. They'll come up with one like this. soph' o more tsof' o morl n. tafter Gr. sophos wise, and morosi'fool foolishJ A second-year student with propensities that range from silly to sophisticated.

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.

Will '69 Lions Top League By Ken Seguin '69 If quantity and quality go hand in hand then Redeemer ought to be on its way to having a great team. 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.

So take heed, class of 1970, and make use of these fantabulous offers which are made especially for you.
