Experience Beats Redeemer Redeemer's Lions opened the 1965-66 basketball season on a sournote, as arch- rival Servite dropped the Lions 61-56 in the Panther's gym. 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. Servite steadily increased its lead as the Lions were having trouble hitting the basket and keeping the ball under control . By the end of the third quarter the Lions found themselves down by 11 points 50-39 . The Lions rallied in the fourth quarter to cut Servite's lead to three, but again mistakes were the downfall, as Servite hung on to win. Finding himself unguarded, Chuck Cal- lender takes a jump shot. Chuck Ca11ender mixes it up under the boards with two Servite players. and Terry Cupples come in to help. Three Lions hit double figures: Lou Peltola with 20, Chuck Ca11ender with 11, and Marty Sheedy with 11.

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.

M1stakes plagued the little Lions too as they tried to get off on the right foot. The J ay- Vee' s struggled to a 28- 24 halftime lead but couldn t hold on as the Panthers dominated the second half. Servite's high scorers were Deyonker and Gerber with 20 and 18 respectively. Papa, Coto and Yurkunas led with 15, 13, and 11.

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.

We have some ideas and we would like to present them to you for your approval, and we w ould like to hear any ideas you may have. Then each of the officers and council in e m her 5 explained one of the money- making projects that could be carried out bythe class. Theprojects included: the AnnualJunior-Senior BasketballGame, a Redeemer Bowling Tournament, a Fa- ther- Daughter Social, and a Theater Night at the Wayne State University Classical Theatre.

It is reported that no one was shy and that in a short time opinions were flying. Frosh Ge? Acquainted The first meeting of the Freshman Class centered around the theme of Get- ting Acquainted. The Student Council representatives hadjustbeen elected, so getting acquainted began with them. They were introduced by their sponsors who gave a brief biographical background, a summary of the activities in which the new rep had been engaged during grade school days, and some g e n e r a1 infor- mation which helped the freshmen to feel that they now know the leaders they had elected to Student Council.
