6 SENTINE L Students Spread Yule Cheer by Ramona Misiunas '66 Barb Mac Donald '66 As Christmas approaches, the sound of carolling, the krinkling of wrapping paper, and the banging of tin cans give evidence that the Redeemerites are pre- paring to share some of their Christmas joy with those less fortunate than they. The Future Nurses Club contributed and wrapped gifts for some of the most forgotten--patients at Lapeer State Hos- pital. The patients were given an op- portunityto request what they would like to receive, and the girls made every ef- fort to fulfill their desires. Names of needy families in the parish were given to the homerooms by the Stu- dent Council, who assume the supervision of Operation Christmas Basket. Father Monroe blessed the baskets just before they were delivered. A plan to keep in touch with the families during the year is being organized by several rooms. Choral members and students from al- most every school organization joined together to present the fourth program, and the second Christmas Show to be pre- sented to the patients at the Bancroft Nursing Home. Christmas carols and dance arrangements constituted the pro- gram. As a finale, Santa, Christmas Carol, and their elves, distributed Christmas cards with special messages from the senior girls. The City-Wide Federation of the YCS concentrated on Franklin School. The Redeemer branch took over the respon- sibility for the Christmas entertainment duringwhichSanta, in the person of Tom Trahey, made the toys come alive. The Freshmangirls made scrap books of the Holy Father's visit to the United States. and gave them to the patients at the Bancroft Nursing Home. December 23, 1965 Mr. James Alexander thanks the FTC parent-student panel for their participation in the meeting: Left to right: Mr. Hogan and Jeannie; PTG Secretary, Mrs. Dubiel; Mrs. Bridge and David; Mrs. Banko and Vanessa; Mr. McGuire; Doctor Seal and Bob. Parents, Students, Voice Opinions on Dating by Celia Garcia '67 Sex and Dating was the topic of the second HighSchool Parent-Teacher Guild Meeting, inwhich parents, students, and members of the faculty participated. Father Monroe, the first speaker, ex- plained the role of the parent in sex ed- ucation. The parents, he said, must instill in their children the attitude that sex is a beautiful and wholesome gift. He maintained that teenagers are ca- pable of falling in love, and that the trou- ble starts when this healthy emotion seeks expression. Respect for one another, and restraint should be the guidelines of a girl-boy relationship at this age. Mother Ann Marysaid, If a sound re- lationship exists between the parents and children, the children will listen to the advice of the parents. i I' Future Nurses Kate Patterson, Kathy Broniak, Diane Kraus, Gail Durocher, Joyce Muscat, MaryLouise Stencel, and Margie McMahon check gift lists and wrap presents for the patients at Lapeer State Hospital. Mr. Alexander, president of the PTG, contributed the following points from his experience as a father of eight children . Communication between p a r e n t and child should begin when the children are very young. All questions should be an- swered truthfully. The teenager should not have to wonder if his pare nts are interested in him. Mr. Alexander then introduced the stu- dent panel. Bob Seal, Vanessa Banko, David Bridge, and Jeanne Hogan were the participants. Doctor Seal, Mrs. Banko , Mrs. Bridge, and Mr. Hoganwere placed in an isolation r 00 m while the students were as ke d to respond to the following questions. What is the best advic e your father ever gave you? What do you most ad- mire about your father? Do you think thatrules of conduct for high school stu- dents should be strictly spelled out, or left flexible? Since the students had not been br 1 efe d on the questions, the an- swers were spontaneous. Then the parents were asked similar questions. What is the best advice you evergave your son? What do you most admire about your son? Do you think that rules of conduct for high school stu- dents should be strictly spelled out or left flexible? Do you believe your son has more freedom than you had at the same age 9 The answers were thoughtful, and some brought an appreciative chuckle from the a u d i e n c e. Vanessa Banko maintained that the best advice her father ever gave her is, Listen to your mother. When asked what he most admired about his son, Doctor S e al gravely replied, the fact that he takes after me. During the social hour that followed, parents were able to share opinions on the common p r o b l e m s that had been raised. At least we're all doing some heavy thinking on them, said one par- ent, and that more than half solves the problem.

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.

The Lions lost all five starters last year to graduation. The new starting five lacks experience as they made continual mistakes against Servite. First quarter action was fast and fur- ious but the scoring didn't follow the pace, as each team missed numerous opportun- ities to score. As the quarter ended the Lions enjoyed the lead for the first and last time 8-6. The two teams went to work in the sec- ondquarter with the Panthers outscoring Redeemer 16- 12, tojump into the lead for good 22- 20 at halftime.

Redeemer gave every intention of turn- ing the game into a run- away in first quarter action as it jumped to a quick 10 point lead. It was short lived as Bishop Gallagher bounced back to grab a secure 40-31 lead at halftime. Things went continua11y wrong for the Lions but Bishop Gallagher was on the way to finishing off Redeemer 82-60 in its debut against the Lions. Terry Cupples and Lou Peltola led the Lions attack with 15 and 14 respectively . Roger Nalepu pumped 24 through the hoop for Bishop Gallagher.
