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

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.

Drama Guild Selects 'Green Pusturesl By Sue Omilian '67 The Redeemer Drama Guild will open their official season with the presentation of Green Pastures on M ay 13, 14 and 15. Under the direction of Miss Lucy Mamo, a '63 R e d e e m e r Alumna, the members will perform and work behind stage with scenery and props. The majority of the me mber s of the cast are Redeemerites, including grade and highschool students as well as mar- ried couples. Leading men include Vincent Garity, playing God; Lester Goodchild as Moses; Gerry Schager as Noah. The idea of the Drama Guild originated with Miss Mamo early in the fall, and took shape as tryouts began in October 1965. She formed the Guild in conjunction with Holy Redeemer Parish as a parish project. Miss Mamo's show biz background includes some theatrical work and sev- eral appearances onWJBK TVin Detroit. Some students will remember her ap- pearance in high school productions when she was a student. Miss Mamo is relying on the success of this first production to put the Guild's share of profits toward a future Drama Guild Scholarship. S u ch a scholarship would finance the fir st year of college foraRedeemer graduate, who is a mem- ber of the guild and rates high scholas- tically. She plans to add to the initial fund through additional plays. The play, Green Pastures, is being fi- nanced through the s ale of patrons and sponsors. The Student Council is spon- soring the ticket drive, and is offering five trophy points to the winning class, and ten dollars to the highest individual seller. April 29, 1966 SENTINEL 3 Terry Salazar, Tom Trahey, Marcia Gogolowski, Sue King, Marty Colbeck and Terry Molloy discuss problems proposed at the Junior Round Table Meeting. Underclassmen Attend High Six delegates, T e r r y Malloy, Terry Salazar, Marty Colbeck, Tom Trahey, Sue King, and M ar cia Gogolowski, at- tended the Junior Round Table. The Jun- ior Round Table is an organization which strives to promote respect, friendship and understanding among high school stu- dents of all races and creeds. This year's institute was sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews and held at Highland Park High. The day started off with singing and welcome speeches, The group discus- sions were not run a la number on your name tag but all of the participants were encouraged to become apart of any of the twelve discussion groups thatwere an in- tegral part of the meeting. YCS Sports a Spring Wet iWashi YCS members can add a new skill to their growing list. In order to raise funds t for dues for National affiliation they spon- : sored a car wash the day before Easter. With the cooperation of the proprietor 1 of the Shell Station at Vernor and Clark, T who was willing to let them use their l space andwater, members washed cars, and washed cars, and washed cars. Gary Callendar, Sue King, Nancy Welch, and Marcia Gogolowski at the car wash. Because the Publicity Committee was very active in advertising the Easter Special Car Wash , and because the car washers gave each car that extra special s hine , there were many satisfied cus- tomers, mostly Redeemer parishioners and students who needed a car wash and wanted to help a good cause. The work was accomplished under the supervision of Mr. S alaz ar and Anita Surma. When the Wash opened at nine o'clock there were four cars W aiting. From then on the line of cars never let up.. Cecilia Garcia, WhO was the official cashier and window washer kept the busy group informed of their financial status. By one o 'c 10 ck the group had made $50. 00 and had run out of dry rags. The ' Brombach gas dryer saved the day. By five o'clock, the planned closing time, all the cars were serviced except one - Jim Hetner's. Jim's dollar brought the total earnings to $115. 34--a11 profit. School Jluniar Round Table E a c h one had a different topic. The topics rangedfrom civil rights, to relig- ion, to individual identification. Panel 5 e s 5 io ns were held featuring lively discussions andquestions from the floor. Using gadgets like Brainy Bug, a toy beetle who thinks and a rotating trap- ezoid, Dr. DeLisle Crawford spoke on the day's theme, Our Generation: Who are We? Where are we going? Where do we start? Students Take Over Classes By Nancy Kieleszewski '68 Since the beginning of the year, the members of the Future Teachers Club have viewed movies on teaching, have participated in workshops at the Uni- versity of Detroit, and have had dis- cussions on the various techniques of teaching. Now they are ready to show what they have learned. Since the classroom is obviously the best place to learn to teach, the student teachers desired to take over a class or two to gain experience. The first step was to gain the consent of the class teachers, and then to con- sult her about the material to be presen- ted on the day. The consent was easily gained, and on April 27 the student teachers sallied forth in search of experience. Patrick McCarthy, President of the club said that the teachers approve of this project, mainly because they want to help give these prospective teachers a real taste of teaching in a real live or lively classroom situation. Sister Anne Therese, moderator of the club pronounced the day's activities a success. Refreshedandrested teachers returned to their classes withnewivigor.'
