Tu Caughton the way to school are new faculty members, Sisters Louis Gillet, Joan Mary, Mary Arnold, and Rose Magdalen. Six new faculty members were assigned to Holy Redeemer in Septem- ber, and since then have been acquainting themselves with the spirit of the school as it is seen in the individual students . They have had opportunities to see tra- dition come alive in the activities of the various clubs, the team, and classes. I hate phonies and don't like walls.

By Ramona Misiunas '66 While five new teachers were spending some time finding their way around Re- deemer's maze, five of last year's fac- ulty were doing the same thing in other schools or environments. Sister Eucharia, the champion of mis- sionaries, who would sellasong for a do- nation to a worthy cause, has retired to an active life at St. Mary Convent in Mon- roe. She holds a record of thirteen years at Redeemer which is excelled o n 1y by Sister Ignatius, who has spent seventeen years at Redeemer during two stayss Sister Ignatius has retired to her fa- vorite parish and convent- -H01y Redeem- er. She doesn't come over to school any more butfinds plenty to keep her busy in the convent. She already has her order in for a copy of the first issue of the SENTINEL. Sister Octavia, former junior teacher and class advisor, business teacher, and cheerleader most excellent tremember Port Sanilac last year, girlsl has taken her talents to Sacred Heart School, Dearborn. Sister Josanne returned from her trip to Africa with many new impressions of people and places. Now she is sharing her experiences with the students of St . Patrick's, Wyandotte. Sister Mary Columba, who traces her Vermont ancestry back to Sam Wilson, the or iginal Uncle Sam , has moved right out of the city to St. John, Jackson , where she teaches Religion and English. Sister Jame 5 Agnes showed the Re- deemer spirit when she came from Port Huron Catholic during the Senior Girls' Retreat, to see her old friends. Students Participate in leadership Course Forty-two Redeemerites are partici- pating in the Gabriel Richard Leadership Training Course. The nine-week course has luredseniors, juniors, sophomores , and freshmen. Mother Ann Mary and Father Monroe who were instrumental in bringing the course to Redeemer opened it to all on a volunteer basis. A two-hour session eachMonday in the Blue Room after school provides learning experiences in the skills essential for leadership. In the first session, the emphasis was on memory. A leader must remember names, said Mr. John Gallagher, the instructor for the first session. As an aid to memory, he taught the secretof word association. For example, Sue Omilian will sue for a million if you forget her name. Mr. Don Esper, in another session, gave the students practice in speaking extemporaneously before a group. In the remaining weeks, creativity, self-confidence, and clear-headed logi- cal thinking will be emphasized. Dennis Glasgow and Bill Sirhan share a joke at the leadership class. The Institute was founded in 1949 for the purpose of training potentialleaders. Using Father Richard as an example of community leadership, the Institute de- sires to arouse among teens an aware- ness of world-wide p r o bl e m s , and to guide potential leaders into areas where they can best help in the extension of the Kingdom of God on earth.

2 SENTINEL October 29 , 1965 Hus He Come To Stay? He cannot be seen. He is an intangible thing. He doesn't speak to show his pres- ence. He doesn't wear clothes or have long hair. But his slightest touch can be felt. Vghen he's there, there is no mis- take about it. Who is he? you ask. He was there when the money came in for the SENTINEL drive. The percente ages began to rise. The paper would be published; there would be e no ugh sub- scriptions. The junior class r e a c he d first place, an upset to the s uppo s ed status quo. The sophs rallied their forces to get more subscriptions. The frosh attained the highest percentage that f r o s h ever have in the drive, even though they placed fourth. Who is he? you ask. Roll the onion across the floor, bark- ed someone. Get on your knees, shout- ed another. Yet, during the frosh ini- tiation, no one received rough treatment . There'was only fun. He e njoye d it . After 3:00, the torture, as the freshmen thought, endedwith friendship instead of violence. Who is he? you ask. The s t u de nt 5 are free at exchange They walk at their own 5 p e e d , without fear of an unjust m o nito r . They have gained this privilege as adults. Who is he? you ask. Boom! 1ike - the sound of a cannon echoing across the playing field. Drums! The crowd stands, a man is tackled . Everyone cheers! Aplayer is hurt. The stands are silent. He is there. Who is he? you ask. Boom! Win or lose? It doesn't mat- ter. As long as the drums in people beat, or their hands get sweaty with anxiety, he remains. Who is he? you ask. He is SPIRIT! SPIRIT is here! SCHOLARSHIPS Charlotte Bickes received a $1000 scholarship to Mercy School of Nursing, as the result of an exam. Noreen Ann Calus also received a scholarship to Mercy College. All That's Needed Is 0 Push f U! n -s-u-:r-I:n-n WANTED: More Man Power A man can do great things if he puts his mind to them. He has the strength to do things that women are not capable of doing. But there is vital need for evidence of more man power at Redeemer. Our varsity men spend endless hours training. The response of the boys to the re- quest for servers and lectors was satisfying. The male members of the Student Coun- cil and the Class Officers devote much time and effort toward strengthening the school and class spirit. These men have made themselves known. But where are the others? Redeemer is not a girls' school. It should be supported by boys as well as girls. The new system of mixed homerooms can give us the long-awaited opportunities for working together. If the girls always dominate, and the boys let them do the work, we may be defeating the purpose of the system. The men at Redeemer have great potential. It's about time they stood up and let themselves be counted as those who will make 1965-66 a great year for Redeemer. Graduates of '65 Step Into Demanding Roles As Adults Five months have p a s s e d since Re- Four Redeemerites are attending busi- deemer's class of '65 graduated. What are they doing now?

4 SENTINE L October 29, 1965 Retreat Sets Pattern for Unity In Family of God The chapel at Port Sanilac was a place for quiet meditation and prayer. With a blessing from Father Monroe and a cheerful Bon Voyage from Mother Ann Mary, the senior girls left the big RE for their weekend retreat at Port Sanilac, on September 17. The sixty-five retreatants were in high spirits, munching goodies, sipping pop, and singing, until a major problem arose . The road to Sanilac was being paved, and instead of taking the detour, the bus driv- er decided to try the muddy road. A tourist car slipped between the two buses and got stuck inthe mud. The bus driver courteously pushed the car up and out, and then the bus itself got stuck. The spirit of adventure was strong, so the girls piled out of the buses and pushed it on to drier land. In spite of the de1ay, the girls reached camp only a little later than schedu1ed. Enjoying Soon after arrival, Sister Peter Cani- sius read a note from the Junior girls which expressed their wishes for a suc- cessful retreat. After being assigned to their cabins, the girls were 5 er ved hot cocoa and doughnuts to supplement what was left from the lunches. After this snack, the retreat began officiallywith a conference in chapel. The theme of the first conference gave the purposeof the retreat, to come clos- er to Christ. Father explained that their retreat master was really Christ, and that he, Father Treinan was only a poor substitute. Rise and Shine The sun rose early, and so did some of the girls, but others rose later than plan- ned. After breakfast F a t he r gave the first of four conferences for the day. Fa- ther spoke about the necessity and the characteristics ofsainthood, The worst tragedy in life, said Father Treinan, is not to become a saint. God loves little people, he continued . Then he gave as an example of littleness , David, the humble shepherdboy, destined by God to become a great King, because he realized his dependence upon God. After each conference, there was time for discussion, meditation, long walks on the beach, or visits to the chapelo Si- lence was not required. Mass, both on Saturday and Sunday was the center of the day's activities. Active participation included an Offertory Pro- cession in which all took part, the kiss of peace, at which each girl placed her foldedhands in the hands of another, and the joining of hands at the Our Father. W C ..- V... e sun and shore are Chris Lueck, Marianne Hassett, Sister Louis Gillet, Valerie Sant-Angelo, Sue Walsh, BettySaunders, Maryanne Dombrowski, LynnNeeley, Emily Cuscheri, Sister Peter Canisius, Dorothy Boda, Beverly Lengyl, andSister Joan Mary. This group preferred their discussions in the open air. Susan Lesko gives the symbolic greeting to Sister Berchmans at Mass. Saturday afternoon Mother Ann Mary and Sister Georglyn came to visit the re- treatants, and to bring the food for the weinie roast. Eat, Sing and Be Merry Saturday evening was the occasion of the combination cook-in and hootenanny at the fireplace in the Assembly Hall. Barb MacDonald led the hootenanny with her trusty guitar. New and old favorites were on the program, especially the folk songs that everyone loves. In the middle of the fun, Sister Berch- mans announced the victory of the team over Bishop Gallagher, and Sister A1- phonsus, who had been informed secretly of the victory, held the camera in readi- ness, to catch the look of surprise and Joy. The news and the reaction to it seemed to emphasize the feeling of unity that was growing during these days of being to- gether. Praying and Meditating S u n d a y dawned cold and windy. Not many girls were up and a r o u n d before seven-thirty, but all were 0 n time for breakfast at eight o'clock. After the nine o'clock conference there was time for discussion, counseling, and thinking. Onlya few hardy souls visited the lake shore. Mass at 11:15 climaxed the retreat, and a spirit of unity seemed to permeate the atmosphere. Everyone seemed to be try- ing to make every last minute count. During the Mass, Sister James Agnes s lipp e d in and stayed for dinner and a short visit after. The final conference was followed by the Papal Blessing. This ended the actual retreat, but the spiritual energy that was created at Port Sanilac sho Id be suffi- cient to keep the fire of love that was kin- dledthere burning. Perhaps it will even spread to others.
