S em'ors March 31, 1966 Win in Overtime, 45-42 By Mike Conway '67 The friendly rivalry which exists be- tween thejunior and senior classes came to a Climax on March16, at the annual Junior-Senior Basketball Game. Gary Vignary, the coach of the Junior team, made this prediction before the game started. The seniors think that they're going to run all over us, but with our fast break, and excellent shooting fromthe outside, we'll give them a hard time, at least. '- i' H '5 Junior Frank Flores comes in for a shot. Senior Dave Sourbeck started the ac- tion with a long jump shot, and the bat- tle was on. Jeff Podczervinski displayed a strong defensive game andscoreda lay- up at the end of the first half, tying the encounter 15-15. The Juniors seemed to carry the play throughout the second stanza with re- markable accuracyfromMalta Joe Cam- illeri, and the talented left hand of Frank Flores. As the time ran out the score board sh0wed the Juniors holding the edge 39- 37 but Junior Phil Milkie hadcommittea a foul. Dave Sourbeck became the hero of the dayby sinking two free shots after the final buzzer, tying the score. Resch's Rascals prepare to challenge the Mr. Homig. Mr. Kecso, Mr. Downey, Mr. Bider, Coaches McCartney and Ziemba, who refereed the game, called for a three- minute overtime period. The battle con- tinued, and when the dust had cleared, the Seniors were on top 45-42. Terror prevailed during half-time as the dangerous False Face, tBob Norrisi, and his phoney associates tCheryl Rous- seau and Carmen Camillerii, entered the gym, but emotions were relieved when the Dynamic Duo tZak Drewniak and Joe H0010 saved the day. Unofficially, Bobby 0 led the seniors in scoring with 8 points. Joe Camilleri contributed 13 and Frank Flores 11, for the losing juniors.

Players Form Varsity Club One of the innovations that has charac- terized the Athletic Department this year is the formation of a Varsity Club. Under the guidance of Mr. McCartney, the officers were elected and the drafting of a constitution was begun. The officers are: President, G e r r y Durocher; Vice-President, Dave Sour- beck; Treasurer, Jim Choate; and Sec- retary, Tom Clark. Gerry Durocher said of the club, It is not meant to bring division between lettermen and non-lettermen, but, on the the contrary, unity among students. The club has already taken strides to show the students that it is not a privi- leged group, by cheering for basketball games, and ushering the WXYZ game. The main objectives of the club are: 1. to further student-athletic relations. 2. to raise funds for athletic department. 3. to effect uniformity in Varsity sweat- ers and jackets.

6 SENTINEL F'ROM THE LowEST OF THE LowEST tie Insantties Another chapter in the continuing story of Spot and Puff, anr' me pet children, Dinlr, Jane, and Sal. it has been brought to this writer's at- tention that Spot and Puff are quite unique animals. It seems that unlike ordinary dogs and cats they do not make a habit of fighting. As a matter of fact they get along quite well together and are on the whole quite genial animals. The only area of corruption centers around one of their unusual pasttimes . Whenever these two are left alone for too long they bring out the cards and be- gin to gamble. Dick, Jane, and Sally have adifficult time keeping them apart. There have arisen a few popular, but as usual, slightly altered sayings, asa result of their illegal ventures. One is See Puff run! Actually this originated as an exclamation of an overly-enthus- iastic on-looker at one of their games. In the original this saying read, See Puff's run! This referred obviously to to the cards dealt the lucky cat. Another is, Boy, Spot sure has a full house. This in no way refers to the available standing room in Spot's casino which is referred to as the doghouse. No, actually, it was another exclam- ation of the same effervescent spectator who was this time astounded at the un- canny luck of the canine better. As a word of warning to anyone who might in the near future be privileged to obtain a ticket of entrance to one of these games: Do not be tempted to ex- press your feelings as freely as did the above-mentioned spectator. It seems that this individual brought about a popular saying of Spot's which reads, Beware of mad dog! By the way, this final quote has not as yet met with any change in wording. March 31, 1966 Hear Those Bells! Don't by Sue King '68 High above Holy Redeemer High towers perhaps the most striking structure in the entire area. The Campanile, 300 feet of concrete and brick, stands proudly sym- bolic of the good will and cooperation of the Redeemer parishioners. The most important part of The Cam- panile is the bell. The first bell, blessed onNovember 13, 1881 by Bishop Borgess, hung in the bell tower atop an old wood- frame church, locatedwhere the rectory now stands. The present bell tower was begun in July, 1925. A year later, on July 4, the rector, Father Dunn, blessed the present chimes, before 2, 000 people. Each of the ten bells is dedicated to a different saint, and was sponsored by two parishioners. This strange-looking contraption is an organ which was used in the past to play melodies of hymns. Those spokes are the pedals. The location of this organ is just below the bell tower. Since the bell has been elec- trified, the organ is no longer used. Juniors Sponsor Plays The Junior Class in collaboration with the Parent-Teacher Guild is sponsoring two theatre parties to be held in April. OnApril l4, Redeemerites will see the stage interpretation of Geroge Bernard Shaw's St. Joan. This play has been called Shaw's mostambitious effort, and was the culmination of an interest in Joan that had begun many years before. St. Joan is a controversial play as well as an inspirational one. Shaw says that in order to have a true understanding of Joan's story one must understand the fundamental institutions of the Middle Ages. In his play he tries to offer evi- dence that makes understanding possible. On April 28, the offering is Shakes- peare's The Tempest. This is one of the bard's most colorful and elaborate plays, and has earned extravagant praise from the critics of the Wayne State pro- duction. c i. What is this? What does it look like? It is the inside of the Big Bell in the Campanile. The picture is from the worm's eye view. The bells are more correctly called chimes. From 1936 to 1942, Rev. Eugene Buhler, pastor, would make the bells play molndinc. AtChristmas the chimes rang out with Silent Night and Joy to the ' Norld. In the middle of the tower is a machine similar to an organ which had pedals to chime the different bells. Now it remains idle, a symbol of the past. At the base of the Campanile, lbehind the Golden Gates is the Baptistry. In- side, the seven Sacraments are done in mosaic on the walls. A small altar is in the front. To the backis a golden door; behind it are staircases and ladders to the bells. ' For many the Campanile brings back many memories of the past. For others the bells ring out the hopes of the future. F uture Frosh Go to Cobo by Tom Lisicki '67 Attention Science Department! Fresh talent is on its wayfrom the Junior High. Five students from across the parking lot have landed their projects in the an- nual Science Fair at Cobo Hall. Eighth grader Joe Rutherford exhibited his results from the tests with reflexes and senses of mice. Fellow classmates Theresa Chlebek's project involvedair pollution; and Dan Wilkens displayed a periodic table. Seventh graders also entered projects. Karen Marsh cultivated plants in scien- tifically controlled environment. Frank Keegan constructed a Hawaiian mandolin that really worked. The exhibits were first entered in the preliminaries at Redeemer, and were judged by high school science teachers, Sister Berchmans, Sister Mary Ivan, and Mr. Shirkey. These and other projects were then entered in the regionals at Western and the five mentioned gained admission to the Science Fair at Cobo.

8 SENTINE L 1966- Senior GerryDurocher, President of the Varsity Club and the Sports Editor of the Sentinel, records and reports the team's achievements. He has also been for two years Redeemer's reporter to the Sports page of the Michigan Catholic. By Gerry Durocher '66 A successful team is not the result of an individual effort. It takes a conglom- eration of team, coach, cheerleaders, and an enthusiastic student body. The past basketball season has had this conglomeration. Students, athletes, the coach, and the cheerleaders worked to make this season successful, if not win- wise, at least spirit-wise. As the basketballseason got under way skepticismwas apparent. Two possible reasons might have been: a new coach, and the lack of an experienced starting five. It didn't take long for the skepticism to be resolved. In the opening game of the year against arch-rival Servite, no better view of the upcoming season could have presented itself. As far as win- lose was concerned, we took the left foot but itwas a victory because there on the Panther's Court, ateam slowly began to jell itself into a typical Lions' team. Redeemer made the winners' column in its next encounter but falt ered in its third attempt. Then the Lions lunged into a six-game victory row. Seven is supposed to be a lucky number but someone forgot to re- mind the team. It was one of those days when the chicken yelled, The sky is fal- ling, only to find it true. The Lions started the cycle again more surely moving towards a playoff berth, when holy red herring the chicken hit again, and the big house went too. With a three-week layoff till the State tournament time, Redeemer kept its eye sharp by tuning up against Central Divi- sion teams. March 31, 1966 With the opening of the District titles on March 2, the tournament was under way. The Lions drew a bye for the open- ing round and stayed out of tournament action until March 4. On Thursday, March 4, the Lions went after St. Ladislaus only to get its toes burned, 65 -6 2, and put an end to the 65-66 basketball season. Coach's Comment Basketball Coach Bill McCartney has these things to say about the outgoing senior members of the Varsity. Chuck Callendar, Captain: Proved to be a game ball player, always performing better in a ball game than in practice. nnntinuous Ioul trouble hurt points per game average. Played almost perfect game in important win against Bishop Gallagher. Despite sitting out the first quarter, Chuck totalled 23 points and played a fine floor game. Terry Cupples: Led the team in both of- fensive and defensive rebounds. Good student of the game. Averaged twelve points per game. With normal develop- ment should be excellent college prospect. Jim Phillips: Probably the most gifted senior. Never reached his potential as scorer. Lacked the drive to become ex- ceptional. Challenged Cupples and Cal - lendar for rebounding leadership all year. The Year Team Spirit Ruled King Lion Dan l3rooks and Lou Peltola get some of Coach McCartney's strategic advice. Danny Brooks: Probably had most drive and endurance of all seniors in practice sessions and ball games. Definitely our most improved player through the year. Averaged in double figures last five ball games. Lou Peltola: Led team in scoring early in year as sixth man. Holds high indivi- dual one game point total of 29 against Class B Semi-finalist Shrine. Lou and MartySheedy paired as probably the best offensive guards in conference. JohnHernandez, BobSeal, Bart Ventura: These boys didn't log much playing time but they represent the type of individual that it is a pleasure to coach and to work with. They earned the respect of their team-mates and each will be a success spiritually, socially, and economically. The JV cheerleaders played an important role in encouraging the team to their final victory.
