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

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.

f--. '--u--.-------.. 2' A 2, ' a Reverend Lawrence Dunn celebrates the Mass for the YCS Study Day. Mass Highlights Study 03 y by Mary Abela '68 What! You're not going to Mass to- day? Sure Mom, but I'm going tonight at Holy Redeemer Auditorium. This conversation was often repeated in the homes of young adults from seven- teen different schools who attended the YCS Study Day. The Mass, celebrated by Father Dunn, who is involved in the Pov- erty Program at Holy Trinity, began in the Blue Room and proceeded to the Little Gym with the Offertory Procession. A whole list of new experiences made up the Day. Speaker and discussion per- iods featured Rose Mjain who said, The place to start is with yourself. Throw your unwanted pride, jealousy, and sel- fishness in receptacles. F athe r Lughermo, formerly of Holy Redeemer parish, spoke on Community, and our obligations to each other. Anita Surma emphasized the need for unity. At intervals Zieth Smith, with her gui- tar, led the assembly through numbers like 500 Miles and If I had a Hammer. The climax was reached when all of the students crossed the aisles to join hands and voices .in an e x u be r ant We Shall Overcome. As the items on the agenda were check- ed off one by one, the hungry crowd 100k- ed forward to refreshments and a relaxing hootenanny conducted by a group of sem- inarians from Sacred Heart. December 23, 1965 SENTINEL 5 Alumnus John Kuuzu Cited In Vietnam War by Margaret Malone '68 First Lieutenant John Kauza, a gradu- g ate of '59, has been awarded the Air E Medal for Heroism, for distinguished '0 action while engaged in aerial flight in Quai Quan, Vietnam. Lieutenant Kauza was flying as a gunner in a UH-IB heli- copter during an evacuation of the wound- ed from the outpost which had been attack- ed by Viet Cong mortar fire. The citation, given by the authority of the President, under the provisions of an Executive Order, reads in part: LieutenantKauza, with complete dis- regardfor his personal safety, leaned far outside the helicopter to place accurate, deadly fire into the Viet Cong position. His timely and effective suppressive fire enableda second helicopter to pick up the remaining wounded and take off without any damage. Lieutenant Kauza's personal courage and consummate professional skill in the face of intense hostile fire, are in keep- ing with the highest traditions of the mili- tary service, and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the U nited States Army. The medal is described as an oak leaf .. L . cluster witha V device, the V stand- . t ,, Lieutenant John Kauza ing for Valor. The lieutenant has also received seven other medals, one for every twenty-five hours of flying over hostile territory, and he has also re- ceivedthe Army Commendation Medal for meritorious service in Vietnam. tAt Home Set In Winter Scenery The annual Christmas present from the Senior Class to the school and alumni, the At Home will be set in both an indoor and outdoor atmosphere.
