Some of the workshops included Hard Core, CYO, CCD, Social Work, and Catholic Charities. The Sunday session which began with Mass was highlighted by a talk given by Father Campbell S. J.

4 SENTINEL November 30 . 196 5 Senior Boys Strengthen Their Faith at Retreat By Lester Goodchild, Gerry Durocher, and Duane Pennebaker Herb Klotz and Duane Pennebaker watch Ted Tlurzek summon the boys to chapel. The sun was bright and the temperature was mild as the S e nior m e n filed into bus es for their long awaited retreat at CYO Carnp. Father Collins, Mother Ann Mary, and Father Monroe wished the boys 21 mean- ingful retreat. In the cavalcade Port- Sanilac-bound was Father Tom Danielson, the retreat master, six counselors, and Mr. Howard. The journey to camp was filled with pretzels, used oranges, and hot tunapies. The men, being city slickers, took the opportunity to c h e c k out the country scenery. By 7:30 of the same day, the column reached its destination and the boys scrambled to the recreation hall, where they officially met Father. They were given cabin mates, dashed to their bung- alows, and picked their bunks. The retreat began officially that night with Holy Mass. Then there was a hoot- enanny and a night football game. After these activities the lights went out and so did some people, except for a few night- ow ls who managed to hoot a bit. Some testified that there was a light rain that night. Go away! You're crazy! I'm not get- ting up for you or any one! said the spry young men as Mr. H ow ar d challenged the m to rise in the early morning fog . Needless to say, all appeared for break- fast, and the breakfast disappeared. There were many opportunities to go to Confession. Hey, he's not in the box I We're supposed to go to his room 9 Not me! This was the firs t feeling about open confession, but the word 5 pr e ad quickly that it was really great, and eV- eryone went. Most of the men found con- fession the most helpful part of the re- treat. During the retreat there was a silence period for private devotion--a time for thought and prayer. Some walked in the woods, some along a small winding creek. Others read books in their cabins. To getthe most meaning from Father's conferences, there was a discussion fol- lowing each one. Everyone was frank, and much was gained. As Father said, the center of the re- treat was Holy Mass. Saturday after- noon this became more than true. Instead of sitting in the pews, the men gathered around the altar to witness Christ's Mys- tical Death. No longer were the Seniors j ust watching, they were actively par- ticipating. All of us are types of priests, said Father. I am the official representa- tive, but all of you are offering the Mass too. At the end of Mass thecongregation sang, The Times They are A-Changing' and from then on it seemed that something had changed. The Stations of the Cross were laid out along the camp road and to many it seemed that they were actually following Christ's path to Calvary. In the afternoon Conference on Satur- day, Fathe r talked about Christ. He was a man. He didn'tresemble a woman . Sometimes he was sweaty and dirty; often he was tired. He was stoned and his fol- lowers were stoned. Religion isn't made for sissies--religion is for men. The social highlight of the retreat was the hootenanny. Out came the electric guitars and up went the Go-Go boys. Pop- ular s ongs were sung and even a little jerking was done on the make-shift stage . But Fred Sroka stole the show as his ren- dition of the Freddie brought cheers from e ve r yon e . Mr. Howard also showed some active interest. 31 Mike Manriquez, Duane Pennebaker, Gerry Durocher, Joe Farrugia, Ray Hernandez, and Dennis Reaume voice their approval of the cooks as the food disappears. 33'; z - I a, Tom Clark and two counselors receive Holy Communion from retreat master, Father Tom Danielson. Sunday came, and Mass was the center of the morning, as everyone gathered a- round the altar again. Then, in the final conference Father gave the Papal Bless- ing, and expressed the hope that all would profit in some way from the days of re- treat. At lunch the boys gave the cooks a standing ovation for great food--including the home made bread and pies. Then the exodus got under way, suit- cases were put in the buses and good-by's said to Father. Slowly the buses rolled up the road to the outside world. The the me song of the retreat spoke now for the Senior men: For the times they are a-changin' You better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone,

6 SENTINEL Students Ask, lWiII It Be- A Teacher or a Machine?' By Nancy Kieleszewski Redeemer's F u t u r e Teachers had a chance to widen their horizons on Satur- day, October 30. The occasion was the annual Future Teacher Day at the Univer- sity of Detroit, the one day of the year when students get together to learn about their future profession, The theme of this year's program was A Teacher or a Machine? The theme was appropriate in view of today's mod- ern ideas of teaching methods. After the opening speeches the students proceeded to rooms where they heard lec- tures on the various fields of teaching. Students received advice and information on such fields as kindergarten, elemen- tary, primary and special education for the blind and deaf. A movie which followed the workshops , pointed out the specific educational needs of children in the De troit area. After lunch, a buzz session brought students toge ther and allowed them to express themselves and to get to know each other better. Entertainment was p r o v i d e d by the U. of D. Singing Titans to end a day of learning andfun for the Future Teachers of Redeemer. . Lunch was served in the StudentUnion Building, and though it was a stop and go procedure, some thought that the socia- bility highlighted the day. November 60, 1965 Tom Cupples, Charles Zammit, and Chris Shibel dance and clap without a worry in the world knowing their dates for the Sadie have taken care of all the arrangements. Boys Enioy Themselves; Girls Foot the Bill After weeks of planning, plotting, and promoting, the Sadie Hawkins Dance be- came a reality on November 12., On that night the ladies cautiously rang doorbells and collected their dates for the evening . In true Dogpatch style, the boys ac- cepted the vegetable corsages and bouton- nieres offered by their dates. Mr. Norander wasn't too surprised to see the girls presenting the tickets . This is the second annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. Senior Skin Divers Explore Michigan and Canadian Waters Skin diving and Scuba diving is an ex- citing sportenjoyed by some fifteenemil- lionAmericans. Several of these fifteen million attend Holy Redeemer. Seniors Gerry Durocher, Jack Clear, Bob No- vak, and Chris Scagnetti have enjoyed all aspects of the sport. These diving enthusiasts tell us that there is a difference be tw e e n skin and scuba diving. The skin diver uses only the essential equipment of mask and fins . If he uses asnorkel, he is sometimes re- ferred to as asnorkeler. These skin di- vers have made dives up to 120 feet on one lung full of air. Scuba is s hort for Self Contained Under-Water B r e a t hi ng Apparatus. This apparatus is made upof a cylindrical shaped tank that is compressed with nor- mal air. The regulator is the breathing appara- tus, which releases air from the tank ef- fortlessly to the diver. It can be either single or double hose. It has one, two, or three stages. These stages release the air from the tank and break it down to the surrounding atmospheric conditions. The tanks come in different sizes and numbers up to four tanks in use at one time. The tank holds up to 3000 P. 8.1 . tpounds per square inchl. Redeemerites have dive d in several lakes throughout Michigan and plan many more in Canada. Most of the boys have been skin diving for three to six years , and they started 5 c uba during the past summer. They have found sunken row boats, a new diving mask and snorkel, an oldwater heater, as well as several other divers andfish. They plan to take under-water pictures in the future, dive for ocean g0- ing wrecks in the Great Lakes. This sport, however, is not confined to the male sex. Jeanne Lange2 a former Redeemer student has made a dive down to thirty feet last summer. The decoration committee, headed by Barb Brombach, had created a fantasy- land of balloon trees and paper flowers: A fragile swing, with flower ropes looked almost goodenough to swing in, but ev- eryone refrained. It looked too delicate . Park benches, on loan from the De- partment of Parks and Recreation were much more stable, comfortable, and con- venient. The band, M e dina and the Medita- tions , kept the dog-patchers clapping and dancing the whole evening. Since their repertoire did not include Misty Eyes , they substituted Eve of Destruction in a dedication to bed-ridden Bob Garland. Seniors Marianne Donnelly and Kathy Chmielewskiwere the center of attraction for a while, when they made their debut in ankle length Granny dresses. Bev Broniak suggested that the Grannies become regulation apparelat next year's Sadie . New Ski Club Enlists 150 President Dan Arrebla announced the beginning of the Redeemer Ski Club at the end of October before any snow fell and already it has gained 150 members from all classes. Mr. Downey, senior teacher, is the moderator. The other officers are Vice- President, Jack Clear; Secretary, Terry Salazar; and Treasurer, Bob Novak. Allare experienced ski enthusiasts ex- cept Mr. Downey who has never been on skis in his life. The members are convinced that too few people understand or enjoy the art of skiing. They are determined to share their knowledge with potential Redeemer ski bunnies. The club has planned two ski trips a month for December throughMarch. The lar ge number makes it possible to re- ceive discounts for equipment, instruc- tion and transportation.
