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.

Bobs Elected To CLAM Marian King, Carolyn Sikora, Emily Pace, Sister Berchmans, James Munoz, and Vanessa Banko prepared the Dooley Kits for the children of Viet Nam. 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.

C. .Ken Seguin To do all I can to help Student Council Itis That Time of Year Again It's almost that tim e of the year again, when we pull out the ballots and prepare to vote in the Student Council Elections. 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
