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.

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.

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.

4 SENTINE L December 23, 1965 wry, Talks during the three days covered Upperclassmen Expand 'Challengel Program These are the menwho made the Challenge. Bottom row: Charles Bickes, Michael Manriquez, Herb Klotz. Second row: JimEgan, Jim Choate, Jim Hill, Dave Sourbeck. Third Row: Jim Hetner, Ron Wlosinski, John Emig, Bob Seal. Fourth row: Duane Pennebaker, Gerry Durocher, Lester Goodchild. Dan Arreola was absent. by James Egan '66 Elizabeth Zaliagiris '66 The Challenge which began in a very small way last year, with ten boys from the junior class participating in the pro- gram, has grown this year to double the number, including fifteen boys and five girls. More will join in the near future. The Challenge is a Christian Youth Movement, under the direction of A1 Mc- Neeley, Assistant Director at Casa Maria C o m m u n i t y Center. For a weekend, teen-agers, either all boys or all girls , from all over the city and the suburbs come together to get to know Christ and to learn to live with Him. They meet at St. Leo's Cursillo Center to share in an experience that cannot be equalled. It is totally different from a cursillo or a retreat. There are no meth- ods or devices. What one gives of him- self is left entirely up to the individual. Usually the Senior Instructors who give the talks, and the Junior Instructors who head the table discussions, are products of the previous Challenge. In the dis- cussion groups, it is arranged that no two students from the s ame school are to- gether. This gives all a chance to make new acquaintances. and to find out how people, other than their own friends are thinking. Participation Proves Valuable OnSaturday and Sunday, Mass is cele- brated with e v e r y o n e taking an active part. After the Gospel, anyone is free to give his interpretation of how the Word of God, as given in the Gospel, applies to his everyday life. At the Offertory, each Challenger may make his own petition. E ach group that comes to the Chal- lenge has a moderator, who decides what the Challenger should do in their parish or school. To keep the Challengers informed on all activitiesand on up-and-coming Chal- lenges The Bell, a newsletter, was es- tablished, andis sent each month to those who have made the Challenge . Girls Accept Challenge You gave us a challenge, and we re- turnedavictory. This is the answer of five senior girls to inquiries on the first girls' Challenge Week end Seniors Kathy Fitzpatrick, Lori Munoz, Chris Paluch, Joanne Sabo, and Liz Zaliagiris were five of fifty Detroit area girls who spent a weekend with Christ. The CursilloCenter at St. Leo's parish was the site of the first girls ' Challenge . From December 10-12, fifty strangers found each other through C hr i s t. The girls shared experiences, p r o b l e m s, joys, and love. Mrs . Rosemary Mason, who is in charge of the Challenge, challenged each girl to maturity. Living in an atmosphere of love for three days was all it took for the girls to become mature in Christ. Each challenger was able to give the best gift possible: herself. Girls w Elizabeth Zaliagiris, Joanne Sabo, and Chris Paluch. such topiCS as; salvation history, piety, socialjustice, the sacraments, and mar- riage. After each talk, the girls broke up into six groups and had a ten-minute discussion period. The girls were then instructed to draw a picture of the ideas they got from the discussion. Friday night, Father Bill Cunning- ham, spiritual director, introduced the girls to confession by candlelight. Fa- ther explained that the girls would cele- brate the sacrament of penance in a spirit of joy. After the reading of the parable of the prodigal son, the lights were turned off, and each priest took a lighted candle to place by his special confessional. Renew Baptismal Vows No individual penance was given. Ra- ther, communitypenance was recited af- ter all had gone to confession. Saturday afternoon, Father Cunning- ham again gave the girls a spiritual sur- prize. Each challenger was re-baptized . A p e r s o n a1 response was given to the question what do you ask of the Church and why. Father placed the salt of wisdom on each tongue, the water of'life on each face, and the stole of faith on the right shoulder of each girl. Saturday evening was the time for en- tertainment. Each group of girls put on a skit and the best was the re-enact- ment of the girl's arrival on Friday. The imitation of Mr. A1 McNeely by Liz Zal- iagiris was the highlight of the skit. The entertainment was ended with a hooten- anny. Mass Concludes Week-end The closing ceremony on Sunday con- sisted of a folk Mass and a reception afterward. Each girl who made the Challenge recieved a Chiro medal, which has come to be the symbol of the Chal- lenge. Some plans for the future include the possibility of running two Challenges a month. irst Girls Challenge are Lorett
