2 SENTINEL December .23, 1965 Have WE the Ability? What problems do teen-agers face, that may hinder their homemaking abilities in the future ? This questionwas presented in the es- say section of the Betty Crocker Home- making Test. A possible answer to this question is the lack of respons ibility. Responsibility is the ability to fulfill obligations. The tr uth of the matter happens to be, that most teen-agers end up going by the motto, Never do today, what you can put off until tomorrow. At first these words sound amusing, yet the lack of responsible action at the right time, is often a te e n - ag e r ' s weakest point. Many times people are aware of things that must be done, but they hesitate to act, either because they think someone else will eventually do them or they feel it can be put off for a while. How muchresponsibility should be ex- pected of Redeemer students? Our main objective should be trying to excel aca- demically. This does not necessarily mean that we must attain a 4. 0 average every quarter, but it does mean that we must work to the best of our abilities. Conscientiously c o m p 1e t e d assign- ments and active class participation are key factors in educational responsibility . A n o t h e r type of responsibility that should be seen more often at Redeemer is the responsibility of the student to make sure that everything in school is exactly the way it should be. Re-arranged bulle- tin boards should be put back in order by the first person who notices them. The collecting of forgotten milk bottles and paper bags in the cafeteria should be the responsibility of every s tu de nt not only Mother and a few reliables . The order in which study halls are con- ducted should also be the responsibility of students. Those who have no home work to keep themselves occupied with, should have respect for 0the r students who may be able to make good use of a quiet place to study. We should be mature enough to face the facts. Thesepoints of responsibility, as insignificant as they may seem, are im- portant. By accepting their importance , we will be taking the first and most dif- ficult step toward adulthood.

In itself, the score isn't important, but what took place in the barn tgyml is. It was the greatest demon- stration of school support of the team, in the last three years. We didn't come to sit, and not many people sat at any time of the game. Not many left without being hoarse, and literally drenchedfrom the heat of the game. The drums pounded out enthusiasm and drive as the Redeemer student body lifted the roof --and it's not likely to be put back on soon. The Varsity players have inspired this dynamic change. Men like Chuck Callender and Jim Choate, who have said at pep rallies, your cheering helps us; we want to hear you, have made cheering important. Going in to the game with a 1-2 season, Chuck said at the pep rally Friday, We've let you down, but we won't tonight. And you didn't let us down. We didn't let you and the team down either. II ?stlbh 4 Dear Editor: In the last issue of the SENTINEL, an editorial suggested an award for the un- known man. This aw ard deserves the support of all Redeemerites, especially any w ho have ever complained that the same few always get the honors. I, too, would like to propose a new a- ward--one for the Monitor of the Year . There are few students who wish to take upon themselves the responsibility of a study hall. Each day, the monitor has to face a cr ow d of students who are very pronounced in their disrespect. To these monitors of great courage, I believe we 5 ho u ld present a symbol of their trade--an engraved whistle. E. Zaliagiris '66 b'QAE'Editdr: It is true that spirit is essential in a team, in an organization, and ina school. And when it comes right down to the facts , Redeemer High has it. Redeemer has that KIND of spirit. . . the drive, the in- centive to give. This is really spirit in its most highest form. I cite the example of the students who , for. over two monthS, planned, practiced, and finally performed for the old folks down at the Bancroft Home. I cite also the example of the students who planned, filled, and delivered the Christmas Bas- kets for Christ's needy. And the s tudents who, by yelling a cheery hello, and having a ready smile for their fellow students, make this spirit prevail. This Christmas as we participate in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and we pray Glory to God in the Highest; and on Earth peace to men of goodwill, let our hearts ring out with spirit and love. . . let the spirit of Re de e m er continue to be the spirit of the Redeemer--giving and for- giving.

Senior Girl Wins Honda Senior Emily Pace has joined the ranks of the nicest people you can meet on a Honda. Emilywon a Super Sport 50 Honda at the Grand Drawing presented by mem- bers of the Detroit Challenge on Decem- ber 11. Emily's brother Tony, a Redeemer graduate of '63, offered to pay the differ- ence if Emily should agree to trade her Honda for a bigger model, but she will keep the Super Sport and with the help of her brother, will soup it up a bit. I've got big plans for my 1itt1e Honda, said Emily I'11be riding it to school when the weather gets better. The Honda is the only big thing Emily has everwon except for the Mission Cru- sade's goof - ball raffled off in her homeroom. Also p 1 e a s e d with the drawing's out come is Jim Egan who sold the winning ticket. He may be asking for a ride soon. A n ita will wear the traditional white dress and will be crowned with the pearl tiara given by the Class of '65 as a re- memberance of them. Before the presentation in the gym, the court will assemble in church with their escorts to receive the blessings of Father Monroe at the Mother of Perpetual Help Altar. CLAM Features Librarian The meeting of the Catholic Library Assistants of Michigan was held at Holy Redeemer. Mrs. Beal, director of the Young Adults section of the Detroit Pub- lic Library. was guest speaker. Mrs. Beal called attention to the pro- gram entitled, Young America Looks at Books, whichis broadcast to twenty- four states. The program consists of a panel composed of teen-agers who dis- cuss current books and literature. Mrs. Beal commented briefly on the reading habits of teen-agers. Girls, she said, read more than boys do, but boys read better books. The meeting at Redeemer marked the passing of the constitution. After the business was finished, there was a sock hop in the Blue Room. SENTINEL 3 New Computer Adds Efficiency to Data by Jack Clear '66 Redeemer's Data Processing center has acquired a small digital computer . The Minivac 6010 will be used to provide the data processing students with a fun- damental understanding of the mathemat- ical and logical concepts underlying to- day's computer. The student will learn basic computer operation and be able to further himself in this growing field. Minivac shows how computers use logic to make decisions. It adds, subtracts, multiplies and divide s . It illustrates computer design, programming and cir- cuitry. It plays 0 o m p u t e r games and teaches the potentialities and limitations of modern computer technology. Minivac 6010 is designed as a teaching de vie e . It is not intended to perform computer functions, but it does demon- strate these functions effectively and in interesting, easily understandable terms. It is said that if 533 of these Minivacs were wired together we would have one large computer. , w aw Mrs. Barbara Lewis shows Jack Clear and GerryDurocher how the Minivac 6010 solves mathematicalproblems. The Minivac 6010 is instructed to solve its problems by means of electrical cur- rents which the programmer sends to the machine by means of plugboard wires. The Minivac has memory units which give it the distinct difference from the other electro-mechanical machines in the Data Processing Center. It has been said byMrs. Lewis that the Minivac will pro- vide a background for the students to e- valuate this new technology.
