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.

I g: f I 1 October 29, 1965 Program Unites Faculty In Spirit and Purpose Mother Ann Mary places her host in the Ciborium held by Father Monroe, at the faculty Mass. Mr. Kesco is acolyte. 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 . Father Miller joins the faculty for lunch in the convent dining room. 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.

Finally to finishthe rout the Ravens scored a fi- nal touchdown to gain a total of 31 points. Gallagher Routed By Lions After its crushing defeat at the hands of Benedictine in the opener, the Varsity roared back to defeat Bishop Gallagher, 7-0, and even its record. Neither team could get an offensive at- tack rollingfor the first three quarters , as fumbles, interceptions, and strong de- fense bothered both teams. Finally, in the middle of the fourth quarter, the Lions' offense started to roll. With third down and three yards to go, Dave Sourbeck went 60 yards off left guard for the only touchdown. The tryfor the extra point was good by Car- denas. With only two and a half minutes left, Bishop Gallagher started a drive but it fell short on the 20-yard line as time ran out Lions Oufroar Panthers For the first time in several years, the Holy Redeemer Lions sent the Ser- vite Panthers to a 7-61055, giving the Lions a 2-1 overall record. Servite was quick to make its pres- ence known. With little more than two minutes gone in the first quarter, Mike Presti of Servite romped 40 yards off tackle for a touchdown. The Panthers ran for the extra point but failed in what was to become the deciding factor. - ,' 7.1 s ' Dave Sourbeck sweeps a right end for a gain in the St. Ambrose game. SENTINEL 7 An enemy player comes up for the tackle as Dave Sourbeck follows his interference in an exciting play in the Benedictine game. Redeemer came back fast as it drove to Servite's two-yard line. With four down and two yards to go, Sourbeck went off left guard into the end zone, but fum- bled, and the Panthers recovered it on the one-yard line. Play settled down to give and take for most of the second half. With about a minute left Servite was forced to kick and Jim C ho at e , and Dave Mikonczyk blocked the punt and Frank Cardenas re- covered the ball. The Lions came back quickly with a flar e p a s s to Dave Sourbeckwho was tripped up on the seven-yard line. With only ten seconds remaining in the half, the L io ns went for a field goal . Cardenas' kick was just off to the right, and Redeemer went out trailing 6-0 at half-time. The third quarter and the first half of the fourth changed hands back and forth as neither team could get going. With about six minutes left Servite kicked to Redeemer. The Varsity's attack caught fire all of a sudden as it found running room up the middle. With aboutone minute and twenty sec- onds left, Dave Sourbeck went the final seven yards off right guard to score. E ve r yt hing now rested on the extra point attempted and Frank Cardenas came through by splitting the uprights. Servite tried to come back but with fourth down and one, the drive was stop- ped and Redeemer took over for the last forty-five seconds. Ambrose Stuns Va rsity Itwas a cold, wet Saturday night when' the Redeemer Lions met the St. Ambrose Cavaliers at Keyworth Stadium in Ham- tramack. A win for Redeemer would tie their record with St. Ambrose at 3-1. The Lions lost the toss and kicked-off to the Cavaliers. St. Ambrose began a passing attack and scored, but failed to make the conversion. Redeemer receiv- ed the ball but was forced to phnt. The Cavaliers scored two more times and made one conversion to make the score 19-0. The Lions defense tightened up in the second half, but to no avail as the Cavaliers scored twice, one aerial and one run. The Lions made several attempts to score in both the first and second half but were stopped. St. Ambrose won the game 31-0.

In the kick-off Redeemer fumbled and Shrine recovered on the third yard line , then took it in for the score a few plays later. In the third q u a r t e r , Shrine struck twice more running up the score to 33-0 .
