In a spirit of nnity and ecumenism, the faculty of Holy Redeemer began the new school year with a triple program, which included the professional, re- ligious, and social aspects of teaching. On October 7. while most of the stu- dents were dusting;r off their notebooks or buying new ones, the faculty came to dust off the old ideas, discard some of them. and buy some new ones. A business meeting, where it is rum- ored that muchof the new look was concocted, began the day's activities. Then at noon, after a morning of or- ganizing and planning, the faculty parti- cipated in Holy Mass at the convent chapel. Tin Soldiers Go To Battle Bob Murray and Rosemary Croteau '69 Well, there it was! A day that would bring the fr'es h m an anxiety and fear! With a deep breath, holding their heads high, they walked in. No sudden streaks of lightning, no tornado stopped them. Their first big step was accomplished and it took a lot of courage. Now they could say to thems e Ives with a little pride, I did it There were so many exits and corri- dors, schedules and teachers ! Dave Ross took transcription for two days be- fore he discovered he was in the wrong room. Then, Friday, October 15 came and went, leaving behind traces of shaving cream, baby food. and tricycle tracks. The Seniors and Frosh had become the best of friends. Initiation was over and the freshmen have been officially made a part of the Redeemer family. You might call this group typical freshmen , if anyone knows what a typi- cal freshmanis. Theywere ready to buy anything, and, by the way, elevator per- mits are still in 1ar ge demand, so any studentwith an extra pass in his posses- sion, please turn it in to Room 207. Father Monroe, spiritual director of the high school was the celebrant; Mr. Kesco, a new seventh grade teacher was the acolyte; and Mr. Howard, a senior teacher. was the lector. After Mass :1 lunchwas served smor- gasbord style. FatherMiller and Father Walsh joined the faculty for a bite to eat and a bit of sociability. The only entertainment reported was Father Miller's attempt to juggle his plate while keeping an eye on the roving photographer. t .

Sentinel Wins DSPA First Three SENTINEL staff members at- tended the Seventh Annual Detroit Stu- dent Press Association Convention at U-D Memorial Building on October 9. Guest speakers at the convention were Bud Guest, radio personality from WJR, and Councilman Brickley. Speakers directedworkshops on some of the aspects of journalism. Sister M. Alphonsus, adviser of the SENTINEL di- rected a workshop on Feature Writing. The presentation of the DSPA Journa- lism Awards concluded the day's activi- ties. In this rating, the SENTINEL re- ceived a DSPA FIRST. SENTINEL 5 Choral Plans Emphasize Quality and Quantity By Nancy Kieleszewski '68 Leaves of brown may be tumbling in October, but for the Redeemer Choral June is bustin' out all over with plans for the entire year. Sister Georglyn says, One of the goals for the year is to build up a large reper- toire of classical and secular songs so that they can visit'other schools. She added that this goal can be attained, because of the enthusiastic spirit, and the fine musical participation, not only in the choral practice periods but in the singing at Mass also. Sister and the Choral are striving for 21 Superior Rating in the Adjudication in the spring. Other goals are to learn the whole mu- sicalscore of The Sound of Music, and to produce the annual show earlier than usual. Sister Georglynis assisted in planning the year's work by several students who have been elected to responsible offices by the members of the Choral. The newly-elected Choral officers for the year are: President. Robert Seal; Vice-President, Celia Schwab, Secre- tary: Susan Drotar; Treasurers, Donald King and Vanessa Banko; and Public Re- lations, Jane Camilleri. New Fixtures Bring Confusion What's new at Redeemer? Look up! Look down! Look straight ahead. No matterwhere you look there's something new to see. Students have been quick to evaluate the improvements. S a ndr a Pomicter re- members how the students used to bump into each other blindly in the dim lights of the corridors. Now it is possible, she said, to know who is bumping into you. ' Susan King remarks that with the new bright lights in the corridors, there is a chance to bone up on the material for' the test that's coming next period. Could the new, comfortable chairs in the library be, in any way, responsible for the sudden interest in research9 Relax and study, but beware! Some students are suffering from muscle lag since they no longer have the opportun- ity of weight lifting. The old chairs had to be picked up and moved quietly. The new ones are light and offer no resistance to muscles. Some students thought that the purpose of the lowered ceiling on first floor was to keep tall students out, but this is not so. LeoPapawill vouch for the fact that he has little or no trouble.

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.

Then with eight seconds left, Marty Sheedy fired the bomb to Gerry Schager to put the game in the bag. Varsity Cheerleaders Find New xSound' At Comp H VARSITY! VARSITY GO-O-O! This was the shout as the Varsity Cheerlead- ers opened the '65 football season at the first pep rally, and at all pep r a11ie 5 since. New cheers reign over the old, as the girls prove that their scholarship at Cheerleading C a m p w as worth while . New stunts brought a gaspof surprise and a rousing cheer, and everybody is won- dering what's coming next. The girls were eager to tell about their experience at Camp. We soon became acquainted with the traditions and cus- toms of the camp, remarked Marianne Donnelly. One of the most surprising customs was that of cheering and yelling during all meals, which, of course left little time for eating. P r a c t i c e sessions were held in the workout field where new Cheers and mounts were the order of the day.
