TEMPLETON, SM. Commencement Speoker The Lillis Spirit Does It, Says Guard Game Countdown—Six More To Go The time is late Friday night. A busload of 30 grimy, sweaty boys pulls up in front of the Lillis con- vent. The bus doors fly open and the kids pour out. They look like a bunch of ragtags — some in T-shirts, some with shoes on, some in only their stocking feet, and still others in full football uniform. However, any ob- server will tell you that they are proud no matter how they look. These are the Fighting Irish and they have “come to serenade” the Sisters of St. Benedict with fhe Lillis School Song. This is their way of let- ting their sisters know how' they rep- resented their school. The sisters don’t have to wait for Saturday morn- ing’s paper to know how Lillis fared. As a football power Lillis is one of the leading teams in the area. Un- der Coach Mintner the record for 13 years is 74 wins, 43 losses, and 7 ties. This includes 6 championships, 7 second places, 3 third places, and 1 fourth place. Lillis Has Spirit Lillis is the best and this should be her year as football goes. We have the size, speed, and the Lillis spirit. The last — the Lillis spirit — is the clincher because without it Lillis is nothing. With this year’s seniors it started as freshmen. A man named Mintner would always be yelling “Who’s the Best?” and we would yell back “I am!” He kept it up until it clicked with us and then we knew we were and are the BEST! Coach Mintner is Lillis personified, and he has a mag- netic pull for his assistant coaches —Letourneau, Bessenbacher, Fisher, and field-follower, Krchma. When I was a sophomore I played Varsity football for Lillis. I can re- member how Coach Mintner would have a “count-down” with the senior ball players. He would tell them that this was it; this was do or die. To a senior the ball season means ten games and after each game there is one less to play . . . nine games eight games . . . seven games . . . As a sophomore I had thirty games left, as a junior I had twenty and now I have only six. Only six more times to play for Lillis, to represent her, to help her on the field. Perhaps this sounds corny but it’s the way I feel. Football is a rough game but I love it. When you put on those pads and strap on that helmet and then walk out on that field you By Michael Peppard are no longer Mike Peppard, Bob Plumberg, Jack Flores, or Clem Tal- ley. YOU ARE LILLIS! You are the best. Your school honor is right there and you challenge anybody to tar- nish it. It is a fierce, rewarding, and sacred feeling. You are playing for God and His school. At the same time you are using your God-given freedoms. Part of this feeling is with me in my last year. I feel like this is it. I wish I were still a freshman but I’m not, so I give it HAIL COLUMBIA; I give it all I’ve got. I wish I could call back all the time and effort I’ve wasted in my four years. Waste can never be made up, but I’m going to try and, God willing, I’ll do it. Lillis Has Backers Lillis is a school to be proud of. Many organizations really pull for her. We have a Booster Club com- posed of the dads of all boys in sports at Lillis. It’s a fledgling org- anization which has as its motto “We work with and for boys.” Mr. Hard- ing and Mr. Salmon, the President and Vice-President do just that. They and the club members sponsored the Ice Cream Social for “Lillis-Football ’64” night and are the ones respon- sible for the game programs. The Pep Club Is a vital organ in the school spirit also. Headed by Pres. Paulette Korenak, Vice-Pres. Sharon Plumberg, Sec. Linda Cervan tes, and Treas. Nancy Gelino they do a good job of boosting morale with their near 100 enrollment. The cheer- leaders give their all to be the best and do their part in making Lillis a proud establishment. Miss Judy Bromberg is moderator. I have mentioned but a few of the things that make Lillis “go”. The faculty and the students credit the school and you cannot give a compli- ment any higher than that. President Kennedy said: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your coun- try.” This year Lillis would like people to see what the young men of our school, our city, and our homes are doing for our country. We will have an Army, a Navy, an Air Force, and a Marine night at each of our 4 home games at O’Hara. At each there will be a pre-game flag cere- mony with precision drills at naif- time. Lillis wants and needs your support for this dedication of these games to the men in the armed forces. Lillis Co-Captains The captains of the team, Bob Plumberg and Jim Brooks are both 3-year let termen who, as seniors, realize that this season is the last one in which they will wear the green and white for Lillis. Plum- berg likes girls, football, and school in about that order. Bob makes above average grades in school and is a football player with a brain. He plans to go to college and as of now has no definite plans for the future. Bob started the season at fullback but had to be switched tc end. Many boys would have resented this change but Bob did not care. He just wanted to play. That is the kind of man he is. Jim Brooks is the man on the squad a always thought to be a little lazy. He had me fooled. Jim is the workhorse who forces many mediocre players to do the best they can and become better. He is the take-charge guy and on the field his word is law. Brooks enjoys driving his car, football, his girls, and least of all, school. Despite his dislikes for school he does all right in his studies. Many is the time Jimmy has told me that all he wants us to do is to keep winning. What Is Ahead As of now Lillis has won 4 and lost 0 having walked over Hogan 52-0. The Rams can be counted down and out, with no place to go but up. The Warriors of Pius X are ex- pected to be troublesome and they have the size and the experience to prove it. The Miege Stags beat the Irish last year and have the stuff to do it again. This is my challenge Fighting Irish — I don’t think they can do it. St. Mary’s Trojans are in the same shape as Hogan and are- expected to give Lillis all she wants Blue Springs and their Wildcats would like very much to reverse the close loss they suffered at our hands1 last year and just might do it. The Bears of East have been beaten twice in the last 2 years by Lillis. This is bad enough but when you get beatl twice at your own homecoming it is a disgrace. The Bears will hunt Lillis, this year. The Van Horn Falcons could fly high against Lillis and so; the Irish must not look at them as lesser opponents. Time will tell about, all these games and I, Mike Peppard. say the Lillis Irish will go 10-0 Homeroom 306 Selects Winners ROW 1 — Theresa Meade. Kathy Steinback. Mary Ellen Vajdlc. Benny Nastaslo.

Defining Love Is Tougher � y Than Tackling a Skittish End MUHAEL BR0 Poets have attempted to derive a formal definition of Love for centur- ies. Some said it was an attraction; others say it’s an emotional devotion. People have often missed the boat entirely on love, pursuing other things assuming them to be love. The only true love the world has known is that of God’s love for man. This was, is, and will be the perfect love. Here on earth Love is only an attempt to attain this perfect union of great- ness. It can be said very concisely; as one draws nearer to sharing in God's love for man the deeper and more meaningful his love becomes. Love approaches perfection as two people love one another for the same reason God loved us, willing to make the same sacrifices. This is approach- ing perfect “human” love. —Gary Letts Love is unselfish sharing. —Robert Plumberg I think we love because we are all looking for a happiness that can never be found for ourselves alone: A happiness that is diminished by being shared is not big enough to make us happy. True happiness is found in unselfish love, a love which increases in proportion as it is being shared. To give love with full effect is also to receive it. So, love can only be kept by being given away, and it can only be given perfectly when it is also received . . . Loving another is wanting what is good for him. Love is based on truth. A love that sees no distinction between right and wrong is hate. It’s a selfish love and really no love at all. It seems to be love because it pretends to seek the good of the one loved. It cares nothing for the truth and so it will go astray. Such a love is based usually upon the passions— the desires of the body and is de- tected easily. Prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude are virtues which compose love. However, unless these combine with charity our love is not genuine. Charity is neither weak nor blind. No one wants to love another who will consent to love him falsely. —Mike Peppard To me love i$ the offering of ones self for another without any motives which benefit you. An example of this is when Jesus came to earth and gave his life for us. I think that un- less love is like this it cannot be true. God had no personal motives, he did not need us in heaven to be happy. He had true love. —Joseph Mintner No one word is sufficient or capa- ble to give the real meaning of that which all men seek, love. Love is the key word in almost every song one hears, novel one reads, or movie one sees. For love a man will marry and assume responsibilities. Crushes and puppy loves open wider the door to adulthood with all its adverse and mystifying mazes. Just what waits at the opening of this huge puzzle is one way of determ- ining, or excusing, how one lives. For love of God men and women take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. They dedicate their lives to God and thus consecrate to Him all they do. This is love. We all come in contact with sex. It is the beginning of our life, part of the sacrament of matrimony, and therefore, sacred. This too must be love. Love is a desire to give comfort, help, nearness ... It is a willing- ness to receive memories, worries, and help . . . Those are the key words — give and receive freely and wholly. Intimacy with God is as real as making love with a man or woman; each is symbolic of ecstatic commun- ion with our Heavenly Father for an eternity of boundless . . . love. —John Dooley Love is the affection and sincereity which you show for someone. —John Cabrini Love is God showing himself in nature and in his creations. It is any- thing which brings unselfish happi- ness to others. In nature it is mani- fested by the babbling brook, an eagle gliding through the heavens. Love is all of nature offering her- self to us and asking little in return only that we appreciate its God given beauty. Love is a song, a beautiful painting, or a poem. It can be an unselfish giving of two persons to each other. It is a new born baby. It is every- where giving of one’s self for the benefit of the other. —Jack Flores Love is confusing. I can’t put my finger on it. I try to love God, but do I do it right? Do I always mean it? No. So is this love? I’ve lost my- self over a girl and recovered. Was this love—or emotion? I feel that you must live love by giving. Taking is not love. God is love so it must be right to show love by giving of yourself through obedience to the law of love, sacrifice. —Tom Prevost Many wits, philosophers and hu- morous writers have combined their talents to describe love. And still the reader does not understand. He must experience it. How? First of all love God with your whole heart, and soul, and mind, and strength. Make life complete by exerting yourself for the love of God. “He who dwells in love, dwells in God. and God in him.” Love is a sharing, a giving of your life in love. To find God is to find love. This is an absolute statement. God is love. He is a never ending road of pure love. He is a road untrod by human feet. Be- cause of this we must find God in the creatures about us. —Tony Hamilton Love is unselfishness. —Fred Ford Love is a deep feeling expressed through actions. There are many dif- ferent ways to love. For example, your love of your parents is one of respect, gratefulness, and affection. Love of your wife and family (chil- dren) is more complicated. You love your children because they are your responsibilities and are a part of you. Your love of your wife is more bar- baric. A lot has to do with emotions. But, the most important love is the love of God. You love God because He made you. keeps you alive, and wants to share with you His life in heaven. Love is a gift from God given to us so that we can share it with our neighbor. —Thomas Salmon Love is the giving of yourself un- selfishly to another; the combining of two people for trust, love, and loy- alty- —John Tulipana Love is a very hard word to define because no one person can actually pin point its meaning, for love means different things to different people. For instance, love to one person might be only physical attraction while to another it might be mental attraction. Love also might be an at- titude toward a person good or bad. It might be respect for a certain per- son. So for my definition of Love I would say that love is an attraction for a certain person whether it is physical or mental; and also respect for this person. —Jim Brooks FRONT COVER Co-captain James Brooks and Robert Plumber get instructions from Coach Joseph Mintner. Jazz Age Darwin Monkey Trial Drama Comes to Life in Inherit the Wind’ Not a single monkey showed up for tryouts. That is what delayed casting for the senior class play, IN- HERIT THE WIND, which will be presented in the gym October 24- 25. For the rest of the roles in the monkey-trial drama by Jerome Law- rence and Robert E. Lee, there was talent aplenty in the senior class; but for “Grandpa” who sets the tone for the Bible Belt evolution battle, Director Sister Bede was forced to scout for talent. Her trek took her to Katz Drug company, to several pet shops in all parts of the city, to the zoo, and to veterinarians for lists of their simian patients — all to no avail. Then she, picked up a clue that sent her stalk- ing the Plaza in search of a Hurdy- Gurdy man reported in the area around Putsch’s 210. With head held high, a proud and vigorous gait, past the tables and disbelieving stares of customers to the cashier — to a wait- er — to the manager — who rec- ommended — that she approach the Putsch Cafeteria management in- stead. There a helpful cashier volun- teered to relay the message of des- peration — and did. Several hours later on Paul Vitali’s monkey was booked for the unique role. Background of Play Although the authors set the time at summer — not too long ago; and place — a small town — no one who has seen the play since its Broadway opening in 1955 ever misses the fact that it is based on the Scopes trial in Dayton, Tennessee in 1925. That summer saw a colorful clash between two giants — William Jennings Bry- an, the silver-tongued three-time loser in his bid for the presidency; and Clarence Seward Darrow, the brilliant Chicago lawyer who never lost a case. The feeling of the American people in this jazz age comes through the lines, too. The people had changed their minds about transportation — about suffrage. Prohibition had come; so had the radio. They had tasted death, joy, jubilation, and disaster in and out of war. They were ready to make up their own minds about Darwin and evolution. Selection of the Play The senior cast saw the Skinner Kimbrough Our Hearts were Young and Gay three years ago; The Night By Sharon Cowick of January 16, two years ago; Fog Island last year. INHERIT THE WIND has been a favorite of the class of '65 for a long time. Many read the play in Mr. Jackson’s English class a year ago. Two seniors, John Dooley and Phil Cardarella, have used the scene where Drummond gets Brady on the witness stand to testify as an expert on the Bible in duet acting numbers for speech contests since their sophomore year.

Joseph Padella Director_______________________ Sister Bede In the Lillis production, these two key roles go to Phil Cardarella and Mike Brown, and John Dooley dem- onstrates his versatility by taking on the scoffing Hombeck part. All three students have been active in dramat- ics for years, having performed to- gether in Minor Miracle, The Devil and Dan Webster, and in Hamlet; and in many other selections for duet acting paired with other actors. All worked in the Catholic Library Thea- ter Group during the summer. All plan to attend the university of Notre Dame and to work in the depart- ment of communications. Significant roles go to other mem- bers of the speech club: Tom Fasl, Barbara Kent, Sharon Cowick, and Michaelene Combs. However, the large cast of INHERIT THE WIND draws seniors who have made their mark in other areas: Lettermen. Pep Club, Sodality, Lillis Libs, Lillistrator staff, and the band. The Director Directing the play is Sister Bede who has been working recently in summer productions at the Univers- ity of Notre Dame: Carousel, Sound of Music. The Innocents, and Medea. She enjoys directing one-acts, espec- ially Chekhov, but has pleasant mem- ories as well of Pride and Prejudice, Curious Savage, Song of Bernadette. Film Series Sister Bede is currently sponsor- ing a 7-week film series. Assisting her in arranging program notes and chairing discussions will be John Dooley, Phil Cardarella, Mike Brown, Patty Beebe, Gary Perkins, Barbara Kent, and Adrian Chandler. The series includes: Nov. 7-8 ON THE WATERFRONT Nov. 14-15 LITTLE FUGITIVE Nov. 21-22 HIGH NOON Nov. 28-29 LA STRADA Dec. 5-6 RAISIN IN THE SUN Dec. 12-13 JOHNNY TREMAIN Dec. 19-20 To be announced. Season tickets for the series are on sale for two dollars in Homeroom 202; individual admissions are fifty cents.

Cheryl Zondca. Camille Gamon. Linda Gomez. Robert Plorcz, Rosalie Metoyer. Debbie Cicil ROW 2—Pat Norton. Ted Winningham. Tim How do you explain Christianity's failure, when you consider that the Bible Belt is integration's strongest foe? Although the Southerners read the Bible they haven’t learned the mean- ing of it. God’s message was a mes- sage of love. They give voice to their religion but they haven’t reached the core of it. One day a lady came into a store and said she wanted a Bible. Her son asked her. “Why? you wouldn't read it anyway.” The woman replied, ’ That doesn’t matter. Everyone should have one anyway. This is about what religion amounts to in the southern Bible Belt. —Cheryl Zondca It is not Christ’s fault, but the fault of everyone in this region. It is their failure to uproot the cheap seeds of prejudice sown by people that don’t accept the “equality of all man. It is not the failure of Christ. These people interpret the Bible to justify these actions. It is our fault if we realize this and then fail to act upon it. —Michael O'Leary I think the best explanation of Christianity’s failure is in the actual life of the southerners. To the southerners it isn't wrong to hate the Negro since, although they Hillstein. Michael Bell. Gary Kemph. Peggy Tack- ett, Joseph Grebowiec. Julius Locke. Rob Darby ROW 3—Margaret McMahon. Debra Jackson. Sharon Sullivan. Tanya Soiapuru. Jackie Pt-p- pard. Tim Wagner. Michele Steimel. Carolyn By Gary Letts read the Bible, they don’t consider the negro as an equal. Possibly though the efforts of a strong missionary action, literature, and good example they can become Christian enough to love one another. — Gordon Julich I do not feel it is Christianity's fault but the fault of extremists in the south who do not consider the Ne- gro good enough for God. —Ed Gorman I really don’t think that it’s Christ’s failure but rather my failure as a Christian. I think the whole prob- lem is that we people believe in Christ crucified and dead. Not Christ cru- cified and living. I feel that this is why they maintain such strong be- lief in the Bible. They are substitut- ing the Bible for Christ. —Sharon Sullivan In the South the people translate the Bible to fit their own needs, and don't bother to apply its true meaning at all. Father Alvin, whom I love very much, has been transferred down there. He said the first obstacle he encountered was this fanaticism. Not all the people are like this, he said. He has changed a lot of them to his way of life, so that they now are true Catholics. Although some still believe Williams. Mary Healey ROW 4—John Stadler. Anthony Bruscato. Earnest Reece. Ed Gorman. Gregory Anderson. Bernard McCann. Mike O'Leary. Pat McMurray. Ted Suggs. Don Elliott that the Bible is God's word, they won't alter their actions to fit our times. These people sooner or later will find out that their stubbornness will not help their race to get ahead. —Carolyn Williams The people down south probably have a much different outlook on the subject, but I can only speak for my- self. In my opinion the people in the south are torn between two factors, the way they have been brought up from generation to generation and the Bible. They call themselves Christians but are not acting like Christ. These people do not participate and prac- tice what they say they believe. They have been taught segregation from childhood. A gradual change may take place with time and understanding but not with conflict. Man lives for about seventy years, and it takes all of this time to under- stand the full meaning of life before it is snatched away from him. It’s like searching in the darkness for a key to enlightenment and in the end grabbing a two-thousand volt wire, what for? Man builds a big beautiful civiliza- tion and then destroys it because of conflict with his brother. —Peggy Tackett Cast Members React to Poetic, Dramatic Forms Edited by MICHAEL BROWN Image Makers Electronovision, somewhat akin to closed-circuit television, is still an imperfect medium. Speech teachers and students attended Richard Burt- on’s Hamlet, filmed “live with this new process, when it was shown to the public throughout the country last month. The idea behind electron- ovision is to film many Broadway successes and distribute them in like manner as Hamlet and enable a wider audience to thrill to the original production” and not have to wait for the Hollywood or road company ver- sions wherein much of tne play’s distinction is lost. Electronovision is not a movie in the real sense; techniques of the motion picture are absent because the actors are performing for the stage: using broader gestures, pro- jecting their voices for a theatre full of patrons. This is the flaw in electronovision’s Hamlet. And the noise of the audience is always there, slight but disturbing. Burton as Hamlet, Hume Cronyn as Polonius, and Alfred Drake as Claud- ius perform magnificently. The other members of the cast are not up to the brilliance of the three men but, again, the Hamlet filmed used none of the camera’s tricks to relieve the mind as it battled with Shakespeare’s words for understanding. —John Dooley GOALS To be what I know I must An so fulfill the trust that others place in me. To develop my mind and soul And set for myself a goal that will test my endurance. To be a help and inspiration to others And see Christ in all His brothers for his sake. To work much harder than I think I can And strive to bring out the inner man so I will know myself. To smile when I'd rather cry And be strong even when I have given up hope. To recognize the potential of the earth And realize its resources and their worth so I may use them well. To be loyal, truthful, and totally sincere And play, work, and pray as if death were near these are my goals. —Barbara Kent The Night of the Iguana In a ramshackle hotel isolated in the tropical jungles of Mexico, three people are abruptly revealed to them- selves as the empty shells they have made of themselves. Drunkenness, promiscuity, and fear of physical love are the specific handicaps of a defrocked minister, the widowed owner of the Costa Verde, and the chaste New England spinster. These are the trio of incomplete humanity whose very souls are revealed merc- ilessly and yet somehow, their story is beautiful as the star-filled sky of night from which God watches them. Man needs to be loved; he must know the incomparable joy of an- other’s affection. Somehow, some- where, some one is waiting . . . This, then, is the cvclorama against which Tennessee Williams puts his men and women in The Night of the Iguana. His play is powerful and re- lentless as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof or A Streetcar Named Desire but it is tempered by the compassionate beauty he put into The Glass Mena- gerie. Directed by John Huston, the film version of The Night of the Iguana clears the stage of minor characters who only serve as diversions to a stage audience and have no meaning or importance to what Williams has to say. Flashback sequences are added, however, to no real purpose; they are contrived and, at best, me- diocre since they were not the work of the deft Mr. Williams. But from the moment the lusty Maxine Fault billows: Shannon, baby! What the hell you doin’ up heah!” one is hear- ing the craftmanship of Tennessee Williams, the sort of writing that won the New York Critics’ Circle Award three time, the Pulitzer Prize twice. The players perform with dazzling ability as they enact the semi-tragedy of the unhappy seeking to comfort fellow sufferers. Richard Burton as the Rev. T. Laurence Shannon finally gives a performance of power and intelligence that leads one to think Surely, this is not the same actor I saw in Cleopatra or Becket! Why, he’s magnificent!” His performance is imposing and yet subdued: he per- forms with subtlety. At least, he has ceased ranting and raving as if he were still in Hamlet. Deborah Kerr as the old maid, Hannah Jelkes, portrays an illusive woman, a contradiction: she can give love and understanding, but cannot accept these same unselfish gifts. Her life is chaned to her ancient grand- father, Nonno the oldest living and practicing poet:” and, like a morn- ing glory deprived of the sun’s warm- th, she has shriveled inside. —John Dooley I saw him first in dreaming whim. His eyes and softly dancing smile. He smiled at me . . . the tender while I sat . . . and longed . . . and watched for him. I saw him next in winters’ snow, Midst love and faith and Silent Night. And then to spring; my heart as light As dawn and dew and daises few. I saw him soon in every day Tho' laugh I might or tears I shed. We watched the springtime melt to May The summer passed but still he led My heart to autumn’s golden thrill. Today is glad. I see him still. —Sharon Cowick A play is limited to a stage. Any action must take place on this stage. Some of the action must be imag- ined by the audience. The dialogue and tlie scenery create on effect. Lighting and costumes make it stronger. In a play, also, music creates a mood. No closeups can be used for the simple reason that the stage is immobile. However in movies, to dramatize a particular scene, the camera can give a close-up of a particular ac- tion. A movie can travel across a field, down a road, between rooms. Unlike a play, a movie is not limited to a small area. Through movies we can travel, share emotions, share ex- periences. These things can be done in a book or play, but a movie can make these things more real. — Leigh Proctor He was sitting, waiting for the bus; His thick lips placed, his eyes shaded. He wore a new hat, but his pants were faded; We who watched him saw he was not like us. He got on the bus. paid his fare Moving toward the back, he paid us no attention. But of his color we made no mention And though we had love, we gave him no share. He sat there sullenly, pondering his fate; Eyeing us slowly, he looked very sad. I knew what I had done, but it was too late For him I was happy, 1 was glad He was a great man, not returning our hale 1 was dejected, for missing the chance I had had. —Ray Bauer The Modern Woman—Who She? Homecoming Queen with Ideas, Ideals by Barbara Kent Today She Is Queen! But what will she be tomorrow — next year — next decade? A modern woman? A career woman? A 4-D gal? Fourth dimension! Wife, Mother, Homemaker! That isn't enough any- more, it it? She must have a place in the world, mustn’t she — this modern woman?! Pope Paul has such faith in wo- men's intelligence, integrity, and right to make a characteristic con- tribution that he has invited women to sit in on sessions of the Vatican Council. His recognition came forty years after women have started popping up” all over the world in other areas — business, political, and professional fields. Lillis High School has its share of outstanding girls, and the cam- paign for homecoming queen awak- ened many of the students to this realization. Queen Paulette Korenak We read in Genesis that God creat- ed woman to be a helpmate to man. Perhaps it is this Scriptural inspira- tion that has guided Paulette Kore- nak in her activities in Pep Club, an organization of which she is now president. Paulette has radiated real school spirit ever since she trans- ferred from East her sophomore year. In addition to work in Pep Club, she has been active in Sodality, has worked on the Lillistrator, was a homeroom leader her junior year, has sung in two musicals, was prom attendant last year, served on the Student Council for two years, and is currently the vice-president of that organization. A woman isn’t just a person who keeps house, prepares meals, and baby sits. She's more than an unpaid worker. Since woman has emerged to find herself solidly established in this modern world, she has had a great effect both on the men. and the world.” Patty Beebe Patty Beebe, varsity head cheer leader, subscribes to the woman-is- helpmate theory and is always right there when she is needed to support the athletes or the pep club. Her in- terests broaden to include as well Sodality (she was librarian her junior year); Lillis Libs (she was secretary- treasurer her sophomore year); Re- ligion contests (she was a finalist two years); music and drama; social life (popularity contest and home- coming attendant); and responsibili- ties as homeroom leader and student council leader. Patty allows for the needs of the individual to be a being complete within herself, fulfillment seldom found only in the melting pot of the family, and so, favors a career plus, for such women. Barbara Thompson Barbara Thompson has been un- selfishly cheering the boys on to victory through four years as a cheer- leader, and using her voice in glee club, and musicals besides. Other in- terests include the pep club, and sodality. “A woman's place in the world differs according to the individual, she says sagely. Some women resent And Man Went Away In the beginning, when the Lord came to the creation of Women. He discovered that he had exhausted all His material resources in making Man. This perplexed the Lord, for He had planned on a companion for Man. So the Lord thought mightily on this dilemna Then He took a small share of the warmth that filled His own heart. Around this. He said. ' I will form Woman. And I will give her to Man. as his companion.” The Lord took the sparkle of His brightest star, the whispering of the gentle wind, the shrieking of the Jay. the still of night, the fury of the storm, the fertility of Mother Earth, the delicacy of the autumn sunset, the mystery of Natures hidden secrets, the openness of the plain, the softness of moss, the hardness of rocks on which moss grows, the vibrant power of the sea. the found fullness of the ripe melon, the curvature of the winding brook, and the clinging of ivy. With all these things, the Lord made Woman He gave her to Man. as his companion. Man was very pleased with this creation of the Lord — and so was the Lord And Man went away. But within a few days. Man returned Lord. I have taken this companion You gave me and have tried to live with it. But It chatters in- cessantly and will give no peace. It has assumed dominance over the place You gave me. And so I cannot bear to have It remain with me. Take it back. Lord, so I might return to the happiness I once knew? The Lord did; and Man went away But only a few’ days passed, when Man re- turned once again. Lord. I have come to ask You to return Your creature to me. Since You took it back, my life has been cold and empty. I remember how It clung to me. and sang to me. and caressed me. I knew what sharing was. And now. without it. I know what alone- ness Is Return It to me. Lord?” The Lord did; and Man went away But before a week had passed. Man returned a third time. Lord I ha 'e tried once again to live with Your creature. But things are as before. It allows me no rest. Take it back and keep it. Lord? But the Lora was angry with Man. You cannot live with this creature; and you cannot live without her. Take her and be- gone. I will hear no more of it. the role of wife and mother, and do poorly at it. Others find satisfaction only when they live their lives for their families.” Sharon and Harriett Sharon Engel radiates infectious school spirit, but can withdraw to write pensive poetry, and take a trip to Europe or Mexico. She is active in Pep club, and Spanish club. Harriett Brown mixes leadership with enthusiasm as she shares home- room responsibilities and avid sup- port of the Fighting Irish. Only a half step behind Queen Paulette and her attendants are five other illustrious Lillis students who made voting a problem for the stu- dent body. Contenders A thinking, praying woman, Bar- bara Kent makes her mark in the school as prefect of the sodality, member of Lillistrator editorial board, and oustanding dramatist. And she still has energies that over- flow into pep club, cheering, music- als, religion contests, popularity con- tests, and leadership exercised in the homeroom and on the student coun- cil. Barbara believes that women have merited their increasingly important position in the world, and rather en- joys the fact that nuns have contrib- uted their bit to changing the image of the woman’s place in modern so- ciety, especially in the works assigned to the church. Michaelene Combs, since she trans- ferred to Lillis, can always be count- ed on for a laugh that lifts your morale and boosts your school spirit. She is active in dramatics, the pep club, musicals, and was a semi-finalist in the religion contest her sophomore year. She rejoices that the day is past when woman — like Scarlett O’Hara — had to be scatterbrained. Among the junior contenders were super-saleswoman Laura Klodt; Nancy Gelino, treasurer of both pep club and sodality; and vivacious Theresa Wheeler who somehow es- capes being a wheeler-dealer.

Jacqueline Kennedy — for her courage. 2. I would not like a woman for president. 3. I don’t think a woman being a nun is enough for them. 4. I think it would be alright for a woman to be an astronaut if she knew how to operate it. Drew Cason: 1. The most outstanding woman in the world is Our Blessed Mother. Mary (why) because she was Our Lord’s mother and ours. 2. I think a woman would be fine. 3. A priestess would be nice. 4. Not the right kind of person. Charles Cushing: 1. Mrs. Kennedy because she was so brave when her husband died. 2. I really don’t know about that. I would have to listen to her talking and see what she had to say. 3. I would rather have it as it is. Brenda Eckstein: 1. I think Mrs. Kennedy is the most outstanding woman in the world be- cause of the patience and courage no other woman could have had through the assassination of her hus- band. 2. A woman as president would be terrible. 3. A woman as a priestess, oh my gosh. 4. A woman as an astronaut — well I guess it sounds all right; but I’d hate to be the woman. John Florez: 1. I think the most outstanding woman in the world is Jacqueline Kennedy, because when her husband was killed she didn’t have a fit like most women would do, but she took it quietly and set a fine example for her children. 2. I don’t think that a woman should be president because I don’t think she would be capable of hand- ling all the problems there are in the job. 3. I wouldn’t be right for a woman to be a priestess, if God wanted a woman to be one he would have told us. 4. I would rather have it as it is. Joseph Dunning: 1. Mrs. Kennedy because she picked herself up after her hus- band’s death. 2. A woman is too emotional; and she might fall in love with a foreign leader. 3. God was a man and I think that men, not women, should be priests. 4. She might get scared and push the ejection button on “blast off.” Michael Hale: 1. Jane Mansfield. 2. I think a woman is not able to take such a responsibility as that of president. 3. A priestess is out of the ques- tion. 4. An astronaut — it could be pos- sible. Christine Hamel: 1. I think Jackie Kennedy is the most outstanding woman in the world because she has endured more than any woman could. 2. I don’t think a woman would make a very good priest, but I think that it doesn’t matter if a woman is president or an astronaut because, as long as she does her work well she could be anything (except a priest) David Kramer: 1. My mom. Just because she’s my mom. 2. I don’t think that a woman should hold any political job. 3. The priests do a good enough job by themselves. 4. They would probably get up there somewhere and forget what to do and get all shook up. Esther List: 1. Jackie Kennedy — because she can take and has taken courageous- ly the harm and hurt that has come to her and her family. 2. No I don’t think a woman should be president. A Y Y IMen Are Willing Woman s World r0 d™ spJ I think and believe it is a man’s world, and as far as I am concerned, it should always remain this way. If a woman takes over the man’s world, it would change something that has existed since the begin- ning of time. Why would they want to change something that has worked so well? —John Weixeldorfer When man was placed on this earth, he was smarter than any other creature. A woman did not have much to say in those days. Now, women have many more rights and privileges — she can vote and hold many kinds of jobs. Women are liv- ing longer than men because in most cases they do not work as hard as men. Slowly but surely it is becom- ing a woman’s world. —Richard Porter Show me a successful man and 1 will show you the woman behind that man. She is there when the chips are down with encouragement and kind words. Men live in a material- istic world of cars. jobs, and harsh facts of life. Women survive in this world as a matter of necessity but their world consists of small cuddly kittens; freshly fallen snow so white and perfect; stars in the sky; wild flowers growing at random; big puffy clouds: and gentle breezes. Nothing less than perfection is ac- cepted in her world. She takes a house and makes it a home to live and love in. When she can be crea- tive. she is happy. She doesn’t just bake a cake, rather she makes a desert, putting thought and prepara- tion into it until it is a masterpiece. She can be secretive and mysterious, or as open as a book. She’s like a light that radiates warmth and love so great that it encompasses every- one she encounters. Her’s is a love as deep as the ocean and as time- less as eternity. A woman is born to softness. She can invade the realistic world of men as is her privilege. But why should she? —Mary Hogan It is neither a woman’s world nor a man's world. God created this world for both men and women. Without women, children would not be born and man would and could not live. Woman was made by God to give man a mate, to make him happy and to serve him. Man was made to give honor and glory to God, but in doing this he must treat wo- man as God has planned. He must treat her as an equal because man and woman have equal parts in bring- ing up children. The statement that it is a man’s world or a wroman’s world was made by an individualist who had not stopped recently to see the perfect balance in all God’s creation. —Stephen Hinkebein Where would man be without woman? In Paradise, that’s where, but that is insignificant; what’s done is done and can’t be undone. Women’s record as members of the human race shows a definite indif- ference toward their male counter- part. What about Adam and Eve, Sampson and Delila, Mark Antony and Cleopatra? The brave men in these unhappy pairs were victims of this feminine indifference. But let us not dwell on their bad points, be- cause. after all, they do have a limit- ed number of capabilities. —Mike Cusumano I think it is a woman’s world be- cause the women have learned to win little by little and have earned the right to be w'here they stand now. A woman is really the master of all situations, but because she knows and loves man, she lets him think that he is the boss; but we women, with sweet words and tenderness, can turn the biggest man around our little finger without them knowing it. —Lordes Artigas I don’t think this is a woman’s world. Naturally they think it is, but we men know' better. The only thing a woman can do is spend your money and talk too much. —Carl Bengston Woman has been placed on a stage. Her foundations are courtesy, beauty, honor and love. I am speak- ing of a real gentlewoman. She is the one to whom the world belongs. Whether a man realizes it or not, he holds his wife up for all to see, and if a woman retains all her charac- teristics, she has the ability to gently, but firmly, boost her man to these qualities as well. Together, and to- gether only, they will reach eternal happiness. —Cathy Murphy I am in a rather awkward position because I am a He. To me, it isn’t a woman's world. After all, who led the Israelites out of Egypt? A He! Who flew the first plane? A He! Who rules the United States. Russia. Spain and Cuba? A He! Still, many women are known throughout the world — the women drivers, Madamn Nhu. and Gypsy Rose Lee. Let us not worry though; as I look in the halls in the morning or drive through the parks at night. I see that the male and fe- male will always be the best of friends. —John Caoile Denise Thomas: 1. Jackie Kennedy, because she has proved to me, if no one else that she has charm, dignity and grace, and this is what counts most in a truly great woman. 2. I don’t think that a woman would be a good president because she would have to neglect either of two things: her family or her nation. Ne- glect of either could be disasterous. Maurice Stine: 1. Jackie Kennedy — she took her husband’s death sort of easy and she loved him very much. 2. If she were president, men would probably be doing the housework. 3. If she were a priestess she’d probably be good at that. 3. If she were an astronaut she’d probably wreck the ship. Andrew Shelton: 1. Eleanor Roosevelt — the work she did in the field of education and culture. 2. No I don’t think a woman would be a good President because they are too unstable on the big ques- tions. 3. I think one would make a good priestess because women are more religious and are steadier in lesser affairs. 4 I don’t think they would make good of astronauts because they might become hysterical in an emerg- ency. Paula Sanchez: 1. Mrs. Kennedy, because she is a good example of our Blessed Mother, she went through her husbands death without breaking out in tears, just as the Blessed Mother did when her son was crucified. 2. I don’t think a woman should be a president, because God said, that woman, is subject to man. 3. Well, being a sister is almost the same work of a Priest, but the Priest can offer Mass. 4. Yes, a woman should be an astro- naut, because man and woman can some day reach the moon together. Deborah Smocks: 1. Jackie Kennedy — because of her outstanding courage and self control during her most crucial times — the death of her husband, John, and the death of her infant son Patrick Bouvier. 2. I don’t think that there should be a woman president for at least 10 years. 3. I think women should be priests. 4. I think women would make good astronauts because they can endure a lot of pain. A Good Library Erases Barriers of Centuries Blend in Muted Harmony By Adrian Chandler Efforts of early man to preserve a little of himself for posterity was per- haps the beginning of what we know today as a library. The stone and clay tablets unearthed in Crete and Baby- lonia are considered the earliest of these efforts. Egyptian culture was preserved in libraries of papyri. Dur- ing the Middle Ages the monasteries, were the custodians of libraries, the “new birth” of culture found the uni- versities also forming large collec- tions. Redwood Library in Newport, R. I. was for library purposes. The heritage of the Lillis library lies in the aims, accomplishments and efforts of these three historical peri- ods—the pre-Christian era, the Ren- aissance and the colonial period—to establish a place of honor for the cul- ture and history of man. A school library is an organization that needs many members to help keep it operating smoothly. The use of student assistants in the school library had its genesis in answer to this need for help in extending li- brary services; it has continued be- cause the students themselves find satisfaction in the services they render. Lillis Libs The Lillis Libs (The Lillis Little Librarians) was founded in 1942 with the purpose of giving service to the library and through the library to the school. The club aims to familiarize its members with the use of library materials: to foster in them a love of good literature and to arouse interest in librarianship as a profession. Besides the satisfaction of services rendered the Lillis Libs have the pri- vilege of reading new publications before they are placed on the shelves for general reading. Even better they acquire a knowledge that will be in- dispensable in College or in obtaining a position in library work. Librarian assistants duties include: 1. Physical upkeep of the library 2. Reading shelves 3. Shelving books 4. Checking books in and out at the charging desk 5. Making out overdue slips 6. Checking and shelving magazines 7. Preparing bibliographies on cur- rent magazines 8. Updating vertical file with clip- pings; pamphlets 9. Processing books 10. Mending books Officers and Members This year’s club, moderated by Sis- ter Georgette, O.S.B., has as officers Helen Weaver—president, Linda Con- ley—vice-president, and Stacia Moor e—secretary-treasurer. Other members of the Lillis Libs are: Linda Alaniz, Patricia Ancrum, Leslie Bor- denave, Adrian Chandler, Bernadette Henderson, Delores Nolte, Patricia Peters, Margenelle Reece, Muriel Strother, Johnetta Thomas, Carol Thompson, Karen Washington, El3ine Weaver, Carolyn Williams, Berna- dette Williamson, and Theresa Wynn. The club has as its main objective the study of the reference section in order that it may benefit the mem- bers by the use of this section and better equip them to help others. The Lillis Libs is affiliated with the Midwest unit of the Catholic Library Assistants Association. Library assis- tants from Colorado, Kansas, Mis- souri, Nebraska and Oklahoma whose librians belong to the five-state area unit comprise the association. New Books New books are being processed for the 200, 300, and 900 sections of the library. In the 200 section the most outstanding addition is the col- lection of the Twentieth Century of Catholicism, a series that contains books entitled Eastern Liturgies; Holiness in Action; What is Dogma; Christians and World Integration; (The Man and the Message of the Old Testament; and Christian Charity in Action. Also the Bible Today, a mag- azine that gives a background study of the Bible, deserves attention. In the reference section the Catholic Biblical Encyclopedia has been added. The Silver Burdette Life Series of Nature and Science Studies are now part of the library’s collection of books. All science and nature enthu- siasts take note! In the same series are The Silver Burdette Life Series of the Countries of the World. New magazines include Facts on File—a survey of each particular in- cident; and Focus—a magazine that takes one specific item of national interset and devotes coverage to it. Bishop Lillis Display This week two new displays find places of honor and respect in the li- brary. One is a display case of the vestments, articles and newspaper clippings of the Bishop Lillis era do- nated to the library by Mrs. John R. Lillis. Kennedy Corner Kennedy corner displays maga- zines, books and records by or about the late president, John F. Kennedy. A few books included in this section are: The Making of a President by Theodore White; A Tribute to John F. Kennedy by Pierre Salinger and Sander Vanocur; PT 109: books con- taining speeches by the late presi- dents are A Strategy of Peace; To Turn the Tide; and The Burden and the Glory; the memorial edition of Profiles in Courage and Why England Slept are also included. The Kennedy Family, and A Day in the Life of President Kennedy have just arrived, and will be added to the display. Current memorial issues of Look magazine also appear. Book Fair The Annual Book Fair is now being sponsored by the library. The pur- pose this year is to introduce some of the best in literature written in paperbacks to Lillis Students and their families. Every year the library has one money-making project, usually in the form of a mixer. In recent years the money has been used for new shelves, encyclopedias and the new books mentioned earlier in this article. This year the proceeds from the Lillis Libs Mixer will be used as before to ful- fill some need of the library and thus help You the student. Book Review Contest Sister Georette works in close harmony with the Kansas City pub- lic library, and the Catholic Com- munity Library. Lillis students Mary Metz and Mike Brown plan to par- ticipate in the oral book review con- test being currently sponsored by the latter library. Mary has selected Atheism In Our Time by Ignace Lepp and Mike is re- viewing Four Loves by C. S. Lewis. COVER PAGE Kathleen Grace.

I only read a short part of the book but it seemed pretty good. John Schonfeldt: I haven’t read too many books since this past summer, but those that I have read were on sports.

Mark Kalb: Adventures of Huckle- berry Finn. Letters to the Editor: Dear Sir: We of the Physics department were surprised at the underclass- men’s responses to the question in your last issue: Should a woman be an astronaut? Since payload is the important thing, it is entirely ob- vious that a woman is the best choice: Pound for pound, she has more brains. NAME WITHHELD O y In the World of Books DOOK W orms No One Is Truly Alone Run Silent. Run Deep, a run down on the submariner’s war, is a tale of Edward L. Beach and the crew of the Walrus. The author tells the reader of the exciting events of a submarine war patrol in the Pacific in World War II. Beach shows insight into his crew’s life and their lives aboard the Wal rus. He also shows aspects of Navy life, not just battle scenes. The author’s method of writing is tremendous. Instead of the run of the mill war story, the crew’s emo- tions come into view. I evaluate this book as a novel that ranks with the best. It is a book of reality. By Jayme Hoffer Black Like Me is a story of a white man who decides to become a Negro. He makes himself temporarily black and sets out on his mission to see what the life of a Negro is like. He is cursed, beaten, spat upon. Griffith tries to tell us how Ne- groes live in the South but does he really know? No, because all the time he was walking around black on the outside, he was still white on the inside. His feelings were not those of a black man. He always had the satisfaction within him thai some- day, someday he could go back to the luxuries of a white community, back to his family, his friends, his job. He would be out of this hell, a hell which no human being should suffer. During this entire book, I couldn’t help thinking he was in this for fame and publicity. Sure he worked for a noble cause, he worked hard, en- dangered his health, and gave up everything he loved for a period of time, dui ne 11 never reahy under- stand what it means to be black un- less he were Black Like Me.” Antonia Lewis You should be willing to admit that probably the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of life, but what vou are going to put into it. You should be willing to close your book of complaints against the man- agement of tne universe and to look around for a place where you can sow a few seeds of happiness. You should be willing to do these things even for a day. Then you can keep Christmas. This is what Tom Dooley said in The Night They Burned the Moun- tain. Mr. Dooley said this in a simple way that everyone can understand. He shows that the service if human- ity is the greatest work of all. He The sky was a blue dome that day With white puffs of clouds flitting Trapped balloons in a great circus arena. The breeze blew strong and cool through the green leaves of the garden. I sat on the stone bench that day and thought . . . I was alone But 1 was not lonely For “No man is an Island. There must be friends Who cares: to care about. So take care to find them . . . —Katy Strong write a book that proves the dream of Anne Frank is closer than we know. Diana Barron I would not recommend Marchette Chute’s book Shakespeare of London to anyone who wants to read about the exciting and colorful life of the Bard because the author portrays him as a simple man who was an actor and writer of the Elizebethan Age. But it is good reading for anyone who wants to know all about Shakespeare. I weel the book will be of great value to me when I study Shakespeare’s works. Mary Ann Carson Seven Days in May is an enthrall- ing book. It takes place in the early 1970’s. This bestseller is concerned with a devastating military plot to sieze the government of the United States. Authors Fletcher Knebel and Char- les W. Bailey II give a clear picture of a situation our country could pos- sibly become involved in. They create a Presidential administration led by President Lyman in the 1970’s, who is given only seven days in May to halt a brilliant, seemingly irresistible military plot to seize the government of the United States. This book can be of value to any- one who takes the time to read it. It could make us better citizens of this country of ours by making us more conscious of events around us. Stephen Rotert Lilies of the Field by William E. Barrett is the biography of a middle- aged Negro man named Homer Smith who works for a group of Sisters after being discharged from the Army. Many times Homer Smith wanted to leave for the West but it was not until the day the chapel was finished that he left without a word to anyone. The legend of Homer Smith came into being within twenty-four hours after he left the scene of his labors. Every Spanish-American in the re- gion claimed to have known Homer Smith well and they are a people who like tales of saints who walk the earth and of angels that take men unaward. One man who was working with Homer on the chapel swore that at times bricks flew into place with no one touching them. What ever became of Homer Smith? Do you know? Mike Wilson I suppose most of us have read a book in our lifetime that we wish we had not read because it was so good we would like to have the pleasure of reading it for the first time again. This is the way I feel about A New Moon with the Old. The novel is not a typical boy meets girls boy and girl break up, boy and girl get back to- gether again and the ending is as sugarcoated as a Walt Disney movie. Miss Smith's book and characters are not shallow, unrealistic creations. She handles her characters with depth and perception touched with the skillful blend of humor and lightness. Jennifer Hill The Haunted Fifties’s characters are the politicians of the world and I. F. Stone, the author, presents them to us in a manner which makes me think he is writing the third act of a comedy. Mr. Stone explains his version of what is happening to the world, espe- cially the United States during a cer- tain period of time. He starts the book by revealing the many sins and scandals of the Eisen- hower era. He proceeds to tell us of that “old villian and profacist ap- peasement monger,” John Foster Dul- les. Mr. Stone writes about the vin- dictive, almost next dictator. Senator McCarthy down to our very own fairy tale prince, John F. Kennedy. The greatest obstacle a reader will have to overcome if he wishes to read this book will be the acceptance of the author’s making a scandal or pub- lic mockery out of these men and then concluding his analysis as “the whole truth and nothing but. . The author says ow himself, “In the eyes of many in Cold War Washing- ton where I operate, I am regarded, I am sure, as a courageous and subver- sive fellow.” Extremists might like to read this work.

Christmas is a universal feast — perhaps one of the few remaining feasts that joins all of the peoples of the world together as one on any single day of the year. Mexico so near to the United States has a par- ticularly interesting way of celebrat- ing the coming of Christ that few people in the United States realize. It is called Los a Posadas, a popular novena commemorating the journey of Joseph and Mary to the town of Bethlehem for the taking of the cansus as ordered by Augustus Caesar, celebrated nightly in most Mexican homes from December 16 to Christmas Eve. All the doors of the chosen area are closed and the procession head- ed by statues of Joseph and Mary, or people dressed as the holy pair, marches down the street singing Christmas carols. As Joseph knocks someone from inside shouts, “No room at this inn: You cannot enter.’’ This procession continues until one of the doors is finally opened to allow the pair to enter. There a service is held by a priest if one is present and the religious part of the evening ends with the service before the shrine. After this is finished the customary pinata (an earthen pot covered with paper mache and tissue paper and filled with candy, nuts and goodies) is broken amid singing, squeals and a mad scramble for the goodies now scattered on the floor. In tune with the Mexican Christ- mas customs by the time of their return Dec. 15, will be Father Joseph Hart, Sister Elizabeth Ann, Sister Carmen, 28 Lillis students and four parishoners from Visitation parish. Besides having assisted at Mass at the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe on her feast day, Dec. 12, they will have taken tours of the city visiting the Cathedral, National Government Palace, Chapultepec, Lomas. Uni versity City, Churubusca Monastery Cholua, Pueblo and the floating gar dens at Xochimilco. They will have seen Native Dances at tne Palace of Fine Arts, climbed a pyramid at San Juan Teotichuacan, witnessed a bull- fight and will have been wined and dined at numerous high class places. They were guests of former Kan- sas Citian Ann Sarachon Hoole, of Benedictine Mother Mildred at Cole gio Tepeyac, and of the students of Sister Hildegarde, former Lillis teacher.

We put up a tree every year, and cele- brate the journey of the three kings with the exchange of gifts. Sam Saunders: My favorite Christ- mas custom is going to midnight Mass. David Cox: Our family always has a Christmas feast with turkey and all the trimmings — then we go to 6:30 Mass. Jane Knapp: My favorite Christmas is going to midnight Mass with my family, then opening our gifts to- gether and having a good time. Marlene Dick: Our usual family custom is going to midnight Mass. Roger Harrall: We usually invite all our uncles and aunts, along with all the other relatives to enjoy Christmas with us. David Fines: The whole family dec- orating the tree is my favorite custom. George Cloud: We go to midnight Mass, then go home and open gifts. Wanda Williams: Our favorite custom is going to midnight mass, and seeing who got the most expensive gift! Kathy Becker: We don’t have any real customs around our house ex- cept opening our gifts. Rosie Lang: Our Christmas customs are, midnight Mass, opening pres- ents on Christmas morning, then having a big dinner later that morning. Laurence Sharkey: Our favorite custom is getting the younger kids gifts. Barbara Thompson: To send gifts to relatives and loves” and to spend the day together.

We have turkey for din- ner, and for the afternoon . . . wine Benjamin Candell: Decorating the Christmas tree. Dennis McCormick: Our favorite Christmas family custom is attend- ing Mass together Music, Music, Music tisstdyMpt I like music—any and all kinds— from Wagner to Watusi. I’m a square. I know it, and I don’t care. Turn me loose with any type of music, and I’m in a world apart. It picks me up, carries me along, dashes me to the depths of hell, raises me to the heights of heaven. The nearest thing to direct communication between souls: music.—Phil Cardarella With the exception of a musical comedy, music is to a movie what a rainbow is to a warm summer rain. It isn't necessary, but it is a beau- tiful supplement.—Barbara Thomp- son. Music is becoming the property of all the people—and of the people not only as passive listeners, but also as amateur performers and creators of new folk music. With the disappearance of wealthy private patronage, the composer is coming closer and closer to the common people, and a new style is arising in which elements of folk, popular, and art music will be combined in an art that expresses the emotions, thoughts, and experiences of all.— Larry Kelly - Music is the language of emotion, just as words are the language of ideas. Music's words are tones and chords; its sentences are melodies and harmonic sequences; its stories and essays are songs and dances; its books are sonatas and symphonies.— Gary Letts Music in movies is really an aid in forming the atmosphere and mood of the plot. In an exciting part, you hear music with a strong, fast, loud beat and sound. In a tragic scene, the music projects the sadness that the characters feel. For instance, in West Side Story” practically every kind of emotion was actually heard. Many of the sound tracks of movies are made into albums, and bought by many I think in some instances the music even makes up for the bad acting.—Susie Bush I love it! I love music and have en- joyed all kinds of it for years. It is part of my life and I would go crazy without it. When I was eleven. I remember getting a Montavani Album. 1 v as tired of themes from Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty since I’d heard them for years but the way Montavani played the immortal classics was something new and refreshing. Now that I’m sixteen Montavani has faded. —Michaelene Combs The man that hath no music in himself Is fit for treasons, strategems and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night. And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted. Shakespeare, Merchant or Venice, Act V. Music really does soothe the savage beast; man. Harps and violins remind me of a crisp spring day, along side of a cool, calm, spring-fed lake The mellow tones of a flute brings to mind gracefully soaring birds. The combination of all of these may re- sult in an act, known as sleeping.— David Miles Man seeks self expression. This is a part of his nature. Man finds this outlet in music.—Cathy Gibbons One element of music, perhaps its greatest contribution, is the uni- versal role it plays. In music there are no barriers as in languages. Any- one can enjoy a piece of music re- gardless of nationality. The appeal of music is universal.—Janet Lassiter Music is a universal language, un- derstood by all and used by many. It sings of love, sadness, sorrow, death, life, conquests, plunders, hopes, and desires. It brings moods of happiness when sadness designs to prevail. It gives a note of friendli- ness to a lonely room. It invites unity and togetherness where diversity might rule. Music tells a story to its listeners; it can and sometimes does, take the place of words in movies, television dramas, and in other similar things. Music gives praise to God, begs forgiveness for sin, and seeks con- solation for past grievances. Music talks by itself and often helps others to do the same. Music can and per- haps someday will, help bring peace to a troubled world.—-Karen Nim- mons Music and Me Music can make me happy; Music may make me sad. A shallow tune may soothe me. Or deep chords drive me mad. Sometimes music wakes me Sometimes puts me to sleep; Depends—does it go briskly. Or does the music creep? My analysis of music may not be real Since too much depends on how I feel. —Bob Plumberg I am broadminded about music. I not only like rock-'n-roll but the classics and progressive jazz as well. —John Kelly A song is good for it is capable of doing things ordinary spoken words are unable to accomplish. A song is soft, loud, bold, lingering, melancholy, and almost anything we care to make it. There is a song to match any feeling a person may wish to express. And there are such a variety of songs that there is a type that suits any age. For the older class the waltzes and old songs we used to sing when we were kids’’ are always popular. For the middle class the Boardway hits are always popular. For the college group the folk song has its own power. And teen-agers have yet their special va- riety. This is good and it is even better when all are able to enjoy and appreciate each variety of music and most of all realize its importance to a growing age. Music is great— Mary Metz 7 have found that people who sing for pleasure around the house, or whistle a tune, or play an instrument, actually feel things strong and deeply . . . more so than others. And this is good. Music literally bursts from the heart of a man who has had a promotion ... it comes softly and mournfully from a woman who has lost her husband . . . it comes sweet- ly and purely from a nun singing to her Beloved.But in all, it rouses deep emotion . . . perhaps the deepest our soul knows in this world.—Debbie Julicr. Take music away and a man loses his way to express to the world how he thinks, what he believes. A teen- ager gets great meaning from his kind of music. It makes him feel glad to be alive, young, and he can put his own meanings into the songs. To some people, like my parents, music revives memories, reminding them that they have lived a long time, seen, done many things. To some people, it relaxes them and gives them sort of an inner peace. The best way to approach music is to try and appreciate all forms of music, jazz, popular, folk old people music and so on. I’ve tried and if a person listens long enough with an open mind, all music appeals to them (with possibly the exception of the kind which old people listen to habitually' e.g. “oh my aching heart and tliy type of thing, yeah!). —Ray Bauer Jim Watson Tom Carson m Tom Van Camp Joe Mintner Bob Madrigal Dan Pluth 1 JT V � -’r 1 « , • M ' i' V I . ?• • Bob Plumberg Bill Flores Sam Gutierrez Snap Ford Tony Hamilton f HKeI Mike Macias Jack Flores John Tulipana Clem Talley Rich Arrellanc Jim Brooks Varsity Closes Spectacular Season!

Lillis High L oses Father Hart to Diocese; Moderator Is Named Vice-Chancellor People in Kansas City were pleased and proud last week when they learned that Msgr. William Baum had been selected to serve as the executive secretary of the newly es- tablished Bishops' Committee for Ecumencial Affairs with office in NCCW headquarters in Washington, D.C. But then something happened to take the edge off the joy for stu- dents at Lillis. It happened this way. The telephone rang, Monday eve- ning, Jan. 5. The quiet voice of Bishop Charles Helmsing was at one end of the wire. Father Joseph Hart, Lillis moderator and religion teacher was at the other. “I am going to ask you to under- take a work for God and the church, although it will entail a sacrifice. I wish you to fill the post of vice- chancellor at the chancery office, va- cated by Monsigneur’s appointment to Washington. It requires your presence at the office daily from 9 to 5. That means you will have to give up teaching. Father Hart’s duties, assisting Mon- signeur Joseph Sullivan, chancellor, in dealing with priests and people who need something from the Bishop in the way of dispensations and per- missions, begin January 18. Lillis Loses Unique Teacher Because Father Hart is convinced that religion is interesting and fun (as well as salvific) his classes were always unique. Assignment: How would you have liked to have Abra- ham as — neighbor? boyfriend? father? brother? In Father’s class you get to decor- ate a Jesse tree, eat Saint Lucy cats, have a birthday party for Our Lady, celebrate baptismal dates, or drama- tize Scripture. The episode from Eden featured one girl as tree, another as apple, with a great supporting cast of as- sorted leaves. That show was on the boards for weeks—neighboring class- es, and visitors saw it. A visit to a synagogue to develop an appreciation for the Ark of the Covenant, and for the Table of the by Peter Clune Laws is another privilege that Father Hart’s students cherish . . . and candy canes from Saint Nicholas (or black licorice sticks for the Bad Kids). Father Hart let his likes and dis- likes be known. Pet peeves: dogs, girls’ fashions, dancing (?), WHB, and dogs. But he liked Alfred E. Neuman for president, voted for him in the national election. Farewell Program A farewell program Jan. 13, pre- sented by freshmen and sophomores was centered about readings from Exodus, and introduced by Fred Wyrsch, a freshman from Visitation. The glee club sang, “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” and a Gelineau set- tingof four psalms: Ps. 8, “How Great Is Thy Name O Lord Our God”; Ps. 22, The Lord Is My Shepherd”; Ps. 121, “I Rejoiced When I Heard Them Say”, and Ps. 135, “Give Thanks to the Lord for He Is Good.” Biography Father Hart was born in Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 26, 1931, of Hubert and Katherine Hart. He has a sister Rosemary, who lives in San Francis- co, and a brother, James, a student for the priesthood at Conception Seminary, who will be ordained in May. Father Hart graduated from Hogan High School, (“where they used to make’em tougher”) attended Rock- hurst and Saint John’s in Kansas City and Saint Meinrad’s Seminary in southern Indiana. He was ordained in 1956. From 1956 to 1962 he was sta- tioned at Guardian Angel parish, when he was assigned to Visitation! Father taught at Lillis High school in 1956; then he taught at Loretto Academy for four years before re- turning to Lillis. He has worked with the CYO, and has been in the Dio- cesan Tribunal since 1956. Sussessor Not Named A successor to Father Hart has not yet been named, but when he learns who it is, Father Hart plans to tell him: “Teaching at Lillis High School, the best school in Kansas City, is a privilege. Every other priest who has ever taught at Lillis agrees.” Father went on to say that he would miss most—yes, you guessed it—the Freshmen. One of Father Hart’s last adventures with Lillis students was the Guada lupe Pilgrimage to Mexico City in December. He is Shown here at the time| of his return from that pilgrimage.

Mary Fasl: People sometimes mis- understood him and misjudged him, but you’ve got to get to know him. Peggy Rowland: I liked his religion class; there was never a dull mo- ment. Robert Marx: Father is a person you can talk to easily and know that he understands. Christina Gonzalez: Father is the most likable person I’ve ever met. Mary Patterson: He’s the Hart of my heart.

Eddie Weixeldorfer: Father Hart was a very nice priest to have around my freshman year. Phillip Sanchez: Father Hart is more like a good friend; he actually goes out of his way to help us. Jeannie Harris: I am happy for his achievement but sorry to see him leave. Hal Surface: Father is the most wonderful priest I know; It wouldn’t be surprising if he were elected Bishop, someday. A V Y IJ Men Are Willing W 0 773 1 S lY orld To Divide Spoils I think and believe it is a man's world, and as far as I am concerned, it should always remain this way. If a woman takes over the man's world, it would change something that has existed since the begin- ning of time. Why would they want to change something that has worked so well? —John Weixeldorfer When man was placed on this earth, he was smarter than any other creature. A woman did not have much to say in those days. Now, women have many more rights and privileges — she can vote and hold many kinds of jobs. Women are liv- ing longer than men because in most cases they do not work as hard as men. Slowly but surely it is becom- ing a woman's world. —Richard Porter Show me a successful man and I will show you the woman behind that man. She is there when the chips are down with encouragement and kind words. Men live in a material- istic world of cars, jobs, and harsh facts of life. Women survive in this world as a matter of necessity but their world consists of small cuddly kittens; freshly fallen snow so white and perfect; stars in the sky; wild flowers growing at random; big puffy clouds: and gentle breezes. Nothing less than perfection is ac- cepted in her world. She takes a house and makes it a home to live and love in. When she can be crea- tive, she is happy. She doesn't just bake a cake, rather she makes a desert, putting thought and prepara- tion into it until it is a masterpiece. She can be secretive and mysterious, or as open as a book. She’s like a light that radiates warmth and love so great that it encompasses every- one she encounters. Her’s is a love as deep as the ocean and as time- less as eternity. A woman is born to softness. She can invade the realistic world of men as is her privilege. But why should she? —Mary Hogan It is neither a woman's world nor a man's world. God created this world for both men and women. Without women, children would not be born and man would and could not live. Woman was made by God to give man a mate, to make him happy and to serve him. Man was made to give honor and glory to God. but in doing this he must treat wo- man as God has planned. He must treat her as an equal because man and woman have equal parts in bring- ing up children. The statement that it is a man’s world or a woman’s world was made by an individualist who had not stopped recently to see the perfect balance in all God’s creation. —Stephen Hinkebein Where would man be without woman? In Paradise, that's where, but that is insignificant: what’s done is done and can’t be undone. Women's record as members of the human race show's a definite indif- ference toward their male counter- part. What about Adam and Eve, Sampson and Delila, Mark Antony and Cleopatra? The brave men in these unhappy pairs were victims of this feminine indifference. But let us not dwell on their bad points, be- cause. after all, they do have a limit- ed number of capabilities. —Mike Cusumano I think it is a woman’s world be- cause the women have learned to win little by little and have earned the right to be where they stand now. A woman is really the master of all situations, but because she knows and loves man. she lets him think that he is the boss; but we women, with sweet words and tenderness, can turn the biggest man around our little finger without them knowing it. —Lordes Artigas I don’t think this is a woman’s world. Naturally they think it is, but we men know better. The only thing a woman can do is spend your money and talk too much. —Carl Bengston Woman has been placed on a stage. Her foundations are courtesy, beauty, honor and love. I am speak- ing of a real gentlewoman. She is the one to whom the world belongs. Whether a man realizes it or not, he holds his wife up for all to see, and if a woman retains all her charac- teristics, she has the ability to gently, but firmly, boost her man to these qualities as well. Together, and to- gether only, they will reach eternal happiness. —Cathy Murphy 1 am in a rather awkward position because I am a He. To me, it isn’t a woman’s world. After all, who led the Israelites out of Egypt? A He! Who flew the first plane? A He! Who rules the United States. Russia, Spain and Cuba? A He! Still, many women are known throughout the world — the women drivers. Madamn Nhu, and Gypsy Rose Lee. Let us not worry though: as I look in the halls in the morning or drive through the parks at night. I see that the male and fe- male will always be the best of friends. —John Caoile Denise Thomas: 1. Jackie Kennedy, because she has proved to me, if no one else that she has charm, dignity and grace, and this is what counts most in a truly great woman. 2. I don’t think that a woman would be a good president because she would have to neglect either of two things; her family or her nation. Ne- glect of either could be disasterous. Maurice Stine: 1. Jackie Kennedy — she took her husband’s death sort of easy and she loved him very much. 2. If she were president, men would probably be doing the housework. 3. If she were a priestess she’d probably be good at that. 3 If she were an astronaut she’d probably wreck the ship Andrew Shelton: 1. Eleanor Roosevelt — the work she did in the field of education and culture. 2. No I don’t think a woman would be a good President because they are too unstable on the big ques- tions. 3. I think one would make a good priestess because women are more religious and are steadier in lesser affairs. 4. I don’t think they would make good of astronauts because they might become hysterical in an emerg- ency. Paula Sanchez: 1. Mrs. Kennedy, because she is a good example of our Blessed Mother, she went through her husbands death without breaking out in tears, just as the Blessed Mother did when her son was crucified. 2. I don’t think a woman should be a president, because God said, that woman, is subject to man. 3. Well, being a sister is almost the same work of a Priest, but the Priest can offer Mass. 4. Yes, a woman should be an astro- naut, because man and woman can some day reach the moon together. Deborah Smocks: 1. Jackie Kennedy — because of her outstanding courage and self control during her most crucial times — the death of her husband, John, and the death of her infant son Patrick Bouvier. 2. I don’t think that there should be a woman president for at least 10 years. 3. 1 think women should be priests. 4. I think women would make good astronauts because they can endure a lot of pain. Religious Counseling Is for Father Cole Tri-Council Time Gets All into the Act By Mike Brown New horizons are breaking. Great big patches of sky have opened and are showing themselves to Lillis and the world. The Catholic church has taken great strides in recent years, and truly the old order changeth, yielding place to the new. Yet des- pite these many changes, basic truths and beliefs have remained unchanged. Lillis has, for twenty-five years, made religious counseling the supplement to religious instructions. We are con- stantly reminded, through ecumen- ism, that the church is composed of individuals, each having a different religious problem. Certainly it is recognized that private questions about religion must be asked, ques- tions requiring the answer of an edu- cated friend rather than a confessor. This is the basic reason why Lillis has such a program. Counselor To lead a program of such impor- tance, one must be an educated per- son, an intelligent person, and a person who can earn respect through common sense and good judgment. Father Cole, our religious counseling leader, is such a person. Father Cole has the heartening quality of “getting through” to a student as well as be- coming a good friend. Father John P. Cole was born in Kansas City, and attended St. John’s Seminary. Later he attended Ken- rick Seminary and summed up his education at the Catholic University of America with a M.A. in Education. He was ordained on March 14th, 1959, and soon took over his duties as as- sistant pastor at St. Theresa's church at Parkville. After three years he returned to Kansas City and became assistant pastor at St. Elizabeth’s church but soon another change made him the assistant pastor of the Cathe- dral. Presently Father is stationed at St. Louis parish and is assistant pastor along with his other duties. Although we feel that Father Cole is primarily a religion teacher at Lillis, we cannot forget that he also is an administrator holding the positions of assistant director of the Confrater- nity of Christian Doctrine, and assist- ant superintendent of schools. Tri-Councils As administrators both he and Sister Elizabeth Ann, realize the im- portance of educational as well as re- ligious counseling if the school is to help students enter the world with Father John Cole the sword of their religion as well as the shield of a good education. It is here that father’s work leaves off and Sister Elizabeth Ann’s begins. To aid the counseling program Sister has introduced tri-councils at Lillis. The basic idea behind these tri-councils is to enable the parents, the teacher, and the student to discuss grades, personal behavior, and special prob- lems. These tri-councils are held at the middle of the school year, in order that the second half might be better than the first. The teachers bring to the councils a folder that contains the semester tests of the student from each of his classes. Grade card and the personal behavior charts, which are printed sheets that are marked by the teach- ers in order that each might show the behavior of every student she has in class, are also available to the coun- cil. The paper includes ratings for such personality traits as respect for authority, effort, thoroughness, reli- ability, cooperation, self control, lead- ership. personal appearance and the teacher's mark whether this student has shown a tendency toward the poor mark or the excellent mark or one of three marks in between. The student is also given one of these sheets and he grades himself on these factors. The student’s idea of his be- havior is compared to what the teach- ers think of him. These folders also include the results from special achievement tests and comprehension tests. Such tests like the Scholastic Aptitude Test. (S. A. T.), the Air Force Ability test, both for seniors, and the Iowa Test of Educational De- velopment, (I. T. E. D.) given annual- ly to all underclassmen. Cover Families On the cover, two families are hav- ing their individual counseling ses- sions with the homeroom teacher. On top Cathy Spurlock, and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Spurlock (4508 Claremont) are talking to Mr. Eugene Propp in homeroom 406. At the bot- tom Bill Collins, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Collins (5609 Olive) are discussing the contents of the folder with Sister Mechtilde, in the print shop. Mr. Eugene Propp teaches geom- etry, algebra, and general math. He is just one of the many devoted lay teachers who work hand in hand with the sisters and priests. Academically Lillis is strong with a variety of courses ranging through language, math, science, and com- munication arts. Sister Mechtilde teaches printing for two periods a day. This vocational training is one of the many that are offered. Voca- tional studies include Shop, Drafting, Typing, and Office Study. The finer things in life aren’t forgotten, so Glee and Art are available. Along with these, physical education is offered to boys and girls. Looking Ahead Administratively Lillis is sound. Sister Elizabeth Ann has kept Lillis a well-oiled machine for three years, and yet manages to add that personal touch, which is often forgotten. Look- ing ahead to increased enrollment Sister Elizabeth Ann dreams of the time when the addition of a new li- brary, auditorium, language lab, and speech and music practice rooms, which will allow the facilities now devoted to these activities to be used for classroom space becomes a reality. Interested, too, in a more balanced enrollment Sister rejoiced to note that on January 16 when the 157 stu- dents reported from 27 parishes, to take the High School Placement tests, there were 82 boys and 75 girls. Yes, Lillis is moving forward. We are changing with this changing world and yet holding to our basic beliefs and truths. The changing tides will make Lillis seem different and changed, but one thing that must not, cannot, will not change: The spirit of the Fighting Irish.

Robert Kellner, Dennis Gregory. What do you think of the new habit worn by the two Ursuline nuns in Oklahoma? Would you like to see your teachers adopt it? Jennifer Hill: To be old-fashioned is a term we teenagers use for older people, but I’m afraid I classify as old-fashionest when it comes to this new idea. I’m totally against sisters wear- ing an outfit such as the ones worn by the ones in Oklahoma. To me this habit stripped away all dignity and beauty surrounding nuns. If you are going to be a sister look like one. Steve Rotert: I am wholeheartedly in favor of the change. The present habit is too “ancient” for our times. Everything else is going modern, why shouldn’t the nuns? David Hinkebein: I think they should stay with the old style habits because they make one feel respect for the sisters. But I also think they should chage habits if the old habits endanger the sisters’ health. Ronny Porter: First it was the Mass that got changed and now it is the Nuns’ uniforms. I guess we will have to take this with all the rest. It goes with our modern times. John Maasen: In the hall you couldn’t tell them from students and you might do something and get into trouble. Gilbert Martinez: I personally do not prefer the new style worn by the nuns. Tim Hellstein: Why not? People would probably still recognize them as nuns. It also looks as if the new “habits” would be more comfortable than the old traditional style. Dennis Gregory: I’m against it because it makes a nun look like a nun no more, but just a woman. Carol Thompson: I think they should stick with what they started with. Don Bigelow: I think it would be a welcome change in the hot summer. It would be up to the head order to make the final ruling on it, but I think it would be all right. Rosalie Metoyer: I think that if the Sisters want to change to modern dress they should do so. I would like for them to change because then we will feel that they are one of us, they will be easier to talk to. Tony Gallardo: I am against it because I am used to the old habit the sisters have. Theresa Rodriquez: I’m against nuns wearing that mod- ern stuff. They look more pious and religious in that long black skirt. If they did change I don’t think I could recognize one if I saw her. I’m for the old way. Vicki Stewart: I like them but if their dress is changed that much, I am afraid we will not have the same respect for them. Rose Marie Florez: Regarding the recent article in the Kansas City Star about the new style in the habits of the Sisters, I think it is perfectly wonderful to know that Sisters are becoming suit- ably adapted or up to date in modern times. Ed Flores: It makes no difference to me, what- ever the sisters like they should wear so long as it is very modest and not above the knees. Carl Dougherty: I like the old way of dress be- cause it shows a distinction. People respect them with the old garments; in the new ones people will whistle at them and make fun of them. 11 . I • I I • f Review of the Movie Wuthering Heights Based on the Novel Emily Bronte’s brooding, passion- ate novel of a doomed love was made into a classic film (1939) by William Wyler who later directed THE LIT- TLE FOXES, THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES. BEN-HUR. It is a credit to his genius that today, nearly three decades later, WUTHERING HEIGHTS retains a powerful gran- deur and tragedy that catches up the audience in its weaving spell. Allow- ances must be made for a tendency towards triteness in the script and treatment of the earlier portions of the story. At the time the film was made a too-ambitious theme, one seeking to sustain the crackling ten- sion of a novel such as WUTHERING HEIGHTS would probably have not been successful since film audiences had not yet reached the maturity of the present film-goers. GONE WITH THE WIND, the greatest film epic of all time, completely dominated 1939 in its vivid re-creation of the fiery romance of Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler against the thrilling Civil War years. And yet in many ways WUTH- ERING HEIGHTS is superior to David O. Selznick’s adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s best-selling novel. The theme, as Emily Bronte con- ceived it, is an almost mystical love that transcends death and precipi- tates disaster. Heathcliff and Cathy so completely owned one another that their flesh became a barrier and even a threat to fulfilling the passions that consumed their souls. This indeed was a mighty theme for a novel, rank- ing beside Dostoyevsky's shadowed THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV. But it was, Mr. Wyler decided, impossible to keep the film version of this novel at such a fevered pitch without mak- ing some drastic changes in the plot so that he could concentrate exclu- sively on the ill-fated love of Cathy and Heathcliff. Therefore he drop- ped the third generation from the film and shortened the parts played by Nelly Dean, Mr. Lockwood, and Mr. Earnshaw. Hindley’s character was changed so that he immediately assumed the role of villain. Heath- cliff no longer was a riddle of dark meanings but became instead the stable boy who dared love a woman beyond his rank. While these changes seem at first drastic they had the immediate advantage of clearing away much that could not be ade- quately and naturally treated in a film. A sturdy, if uninspired, founda- tion had been laid upon which the Gothic mansion of Wuthering Heights would stand. The opening scene is a wind-and- snow-tossing shot of the house ex- posed to the fury of the moors. A huddled figure becomes evident mak- ing its way to the shelter of the house. This is Mr. Lockwood, the ten- ant of Thrushcross Grange, come to call on Mr. Heathcliff, his landlord. He is greeted by a surly group com- posed of Isabella, Joseph, and Nelly Dean, who all ignore him even when he is attacked by the fierce dogs. The sharp voice of Heathcliff immedi- ately halts the animals who shrink off to the shadows. His dark, satur- nine face invited no friendship; it is evident that he wants only to be alone. The storm maroons Mr. Lock- wood at the Heights for the night. In his bed he wears the frail voice of a girl wind-carried and forlorn. Upon being informed of this Heathcliff rushes into the furious storm crying out for “Cathy!” Nelly Dean, the housekeeper, then recounts the story of the hapless love of Heathcliff and Catherine Earnishaw. The sequences dealing with the children, Heathcliff, Cathy, and Hindley, are so construct- ed as to quickly establish the reasons why Cathy and Heathcliff are as they are. Economically and skillfully, Mr. Wyler begins his version of WUTH- ERING HEIGHTS. Laurence Olivier and Merle Ober- on re-create the main roles with rich talents so that their tragedy looms with the stature of reality. Every mannerism and glance is charged with throbbing passion. David Niven and Geraldine Fitzgerald portray the sheltered Edgar and Isabella Linton equally well so that the destruction of them by the wildly passionate lovers, Heathcliff and Cathy, is blended into the somber tapestry of WUTHERING HEIGHTS in compell- ing, satisfying melodrama. It is tragic and while one feels reality’s pres- ence, in truth, it is not “real” as we know it. The problems are those of another age and time so that while we feel sympathy, there is the escape valve of knowing that this is not “true.” WUTHERING HEIGHTS is both comedy and drama at once so that one is gripped through every emotion simultaneously and thus drawn deeply into the plot. Black and white photography is wisely used. This carries on the gloomy, shadowy effect that is the essence of WUTHERING HEIGHTS. Just as Emily Bronte avoided the frivolous trimmings of fiction, so Wil- liam Wyler starkly photographed his adaptation. The film then depended on his skill as a director and upon the actors to compensate for the lack of visual color. Three really powerful scenes were constructed carefully and so arranged as to balance the film. Each serves to draw the viewer back into the film with renewed interest. The first shows Cathy, in ball gown and flowing cloak, running heedlessly into a violent rainstorm calling back Heathcliff who has left thinking she does not love him. The audience sees the full extent of Cathy’s love driving her on until she collapses in hysteri- cal tears in the moors, where they shared the beginnings of love. Second is the scene where Cathy orders Edgar, who is now her hus- band, to forbid Isabella and Heath- cliff to marry. It is shot on the stairs with Edgar above Cathy. At the cli- mactic moment when she and Edgar both realize what is motivating her she clasps his knees and begs forgive- ness, utterly defeated now. The third scene is the last mo- ments Cathy and Heathcliff share be- fore she dies. The subtlety of shad- ows and beams of sunlight serve to heighten the idea of Cathy’s life wav- ering between two worlds. She dies in his arms, looking out over the heather-filled moors. The simplicity of the scene casts the spotlight upon the dialogue, notably, when Heath- cliff beseeches Cathy to haunt him forever so that they can be near even in that cruel way. The final shot of the film, now the present, shows the ghosts of the lov- ers, young and with hands clasped, running to the spring when they were just learning love. While it is faithful to the novel, it is wrong for the film. This ending belies the hopelessness of their love which the film established. And while it satis- fies the romantic desires, it lacks the power of what has gone before it. Mr. Wyler originally planned to end the film with a shot of Heathcliffs face, dead and frozen, haunted and twinkling with snowflakes, while in the background the swirling wind whispered his name. This ending would have carried the doomed love beyond the grave . . . and in a haunt- ing beauty would not have jarred the mind away from the somber pow- er of WUTHERING HEIGHTS. As it stands, WUTHERING HEIGHTS is a work of great skill and depth. Its faults, like its memorable moments, are outstanding. It is com- parable to the Winged Victory of Samothrace. While it is old and worn somewhat, it still possesses a gran- deur that cannot be denied or de- stroyed. WUTHERING HEIGHTS is a work of true art. Film -making Project in Senior English Stirs Up Life in Traditional Class Invitations have been sent to par- ents and friends to the premiere showing of After Hour , the eight- millimeter documentary film on lei- sure produced by Sister Bede’s senior English classes. The credit frames list Mike Peppard as editor; Gary Letts as narrator; Debbie Julich, script; Gary Perkins, sound; Ed Stubbs, music; photography — just about everybody. Show time — Thursday, February 18, seven-thirty and eight-thirty. Students will view it next day or shortly thereafter. The introduction (script for which appears on p. 6) sets the tone for the fuller analysis of leisure that follows. For the working classes, leisure is traditionally tied in with national holidays; for those on a higher evonomic level, travel is im- portant; for those economically free, leisure usually represents the choice to serve humanity, society, or the Church. The Film Play of every sort contributes to well-being, physical and mental. The film shows sequences of touch foot- ball, wrestling, acrobatics, pool, dancing, snowballing, motorcycle and auto racing, marching and riding in parades, spontaneous and rehearsed drama. Travel, designed to broaden one’s interests and sympathies is repre- sented by an individual trip to New Orleans, and the school-sponsored pilgrimage to Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico. Service to humanity, society, and church is noted in the shots of a city at work; the role of the federal gov- ernment as evinced in the rising of the new federal building; and Church with shots of an ecumenical flavor with emphasis on Baptism as the source and cause of unity. The film is the culmination of a semester’s enrichment unit in appre- ciation of motion pictures as an art form, framed within the confines of a traditional course in senior Eng- lish. The Course Recognizing visual language as the medium of the age, Sister Bede is confident that in five years time all English teachers will be doing what she initiated as an experimental unit with her class. Indications come from the current concern of the Na- tional Council of the Teachers of English for a reformed curriculum in English. Screen Arts by Edward Fischer of the University of Notre Dame was the basic text for the weekly enrich- ment class. Each Monday the 76 stu- dents enrolled in two divisions of senior English viewed movies bor- rowed from the Kansas City public library. This enabled them to study standards of criticism which they ap- plied to full-length features they viewed on weekends: High Noon, On the Waterfront, Little Fugitive, Raisin in the Sun, Nanook of the North. The quarter exam covered La Strada, and the semester exam, My Fair Lady. Sister Bede has prepared a report on the project for the English Journal, national organ of NCTE. Mr. Fischer Notices Mr. Fischer recently devoted his weekly film criticism page in Ave Maria (Feb. 6) to the Lillis project. The thirty-two earners available for the class project is what amazed him. Mr. Fischer always tells his stu- dents that they don’t need to buy movie equipment because it is the easiest thing in the world to borrow. Many families, filled with enthusiasm by the ads they read, rush out to buy motion picture equipment. After they’ve made a few ‘snapshots’ in motion, they tire of the gadgetry be- cause they are not using it creatively. “One of my students,” he says, speaking of Sister Bede, “took to heart what I said in class and went ahead to prove that I am more opti- mistic than I had ever dreamed.” Commenting on the value of film production to film appreciation, Mr. Fischer quotes Sister Bede: “I think that making short movies is to full- length features what paragraph-writ- ing is to novel analysis. The attempt at creation in the same medium is one of the most direct approaches to appreciation.” Mr. Fischer especially approves the Lillis project because it stimulates imagination and lends excitement to classroom learning. “Exciting experiences,” he says, “are not easy to come by considering the way our educational system is so grade-oriented. When one has gone along for years being asked to memorize and regirgitate, meorize and regurgitate, it is like finding a cup of cool water in the desert when a Sister Bede comes along.” Other Publications Other publications have also taken note of the movie-making endeavor at Lillis. John Ratterman prepared a lull- page picture story with text which appeared in the December 18 issue of The Catholic Reporter (Kansas City). This article stresses movie- making as a stimulation to better communication in both writing and speaking, as well as a help in mo- tion picture appreciation. Mrs. Lillian Burnett, writing in the Dec. 21 issue of Boxoffice, a weekly trade journal for motion pic- ture exhibitors, points up that such a course as Sister Bede offers will assure the theater of a growing aud- ience. Her article begins: “While the Theater Owners of America ponder how to increase their share of the $21 billion dollars teenagers report- edly will be spending in 1970, Sister Bede, a high school teacher here in Kansas City is quietly, with porrowed equipment and no fanfare, training a class of 76 students to have a keen, educated appreciation of the mer- chandise these very theatermen are offering.” Mr. Charley O’Rear, photographer for the Kansas City Star, was at Lillis last week, shooting dozens of pic- tures in anticipation of a picture- page covering of the project for his publication Reb. 13. Sister Bede attended the Calvin Productions workshop Feb. 8-10, and will be present at the dinner meet- ing of the Jackson County Teachers of English, Feb. 15, when Albert Kitzhaber, president of the National Council of the Teachers of English, will address the group on Curricu- lum Reforms in English.” Everybody at Lillis knows what Sister Bede’s attitude on that is — make movies! Boxoffice (Feb. 1) ran a second fea- ture reporting a survey that followed the story of Sister Bede’s project; the survey uncovered one other high school studying film language, a sophomore art class at South New- ton High School in Boston, taught by Rev. John Culkin, S.J. Pembroke Day school in Kansas City initiated an extra-curricular course in cinematrography last month, taught by Dennis McGuire. Student Council Approves Film Course From left to right: Mike Macias, Barbara Kent, Mike Peppard, Paulette Korenak. Phil Cardarella. Sister Clement Marie. Sister Mechtllde, Pat Be bee A unit on film criticism and pro- duction was introduced into senior English experimentally the first se- mester. Would you like to see it in- cluded in the curriculum permanent- ly? P. Tackett: As a part of liberal education 1 think film making should be included as a permanent subject. It not only would be interesting and broaden the mind, but also produce visible re- sults. Since Lillis High School is noted as one of the best schools in the city, we should excel in all fields. K. Steinbech: I would like it’s continuation in the curriculum. I believe that this is something most unusual and worthwhile. The students I’ve talked to seemed to enjoy and get a lot out of it. I’d like a crack at it too. D. Julich: All students should know more about the art of movie-making! Even if they are not interested in the ac- tual filmmaking, the knowledge that we have received through the course has made us much more aware of the qualities that make a good movie. If for no other reason than this, I would recommend this caurse for the curriculum permanently. Second row; Stacla Moore. Linda Cardarella, Helen Weaver. Mike Brown. Marchita Stanton. Debbie Julich. Prancetta Johnson. Jackie Rohwer. Jeanie Keubler. Regina Maasen. John Dooley. Gary Letts. T. Wheeler: Although I never say any of the films, from what I've heard Senior English students say it's an excellent idea. They spoke of it as though it were fun and interesting as well as educational. I would however like to know more about it, before decid- ing positively. It seems to be a lot of work, and yet anything that is worthwhile takes effort, time and co-operation. If there was some pos- sibility that interested students could see the fruits of their labor, I think it would be a help in deciding. G. Letts: Yet, I would like very much for others to learn what power the twentieth century mode of communi- cation has. This course has revolu- tionized film watching for me. Fur- thermore, this is the only way to insure decent movies for tomorrow. J. Kuebler: Yes, because, it gives us students a chance to develop our talents and express outwardly our interests in matters pertaining to our lives and those we come in contact with. Pat Beebe: The advantages of teaching through films are so great that no teacher can ignore it. It would be helpful to all students to study the influences of this media of expression and com- munication. Third row. Kathy Steinbeck. Bob Sanders. Katy Strong, Peggy Tackett. Teresa Wheeler Tom Fusl. Bill Zondea. Chris Mitchell. Torn Kelly. Butch Martinez J. Dooley: Yes, though I regret I won’t be able to enjoy it since I’m graduating This course is important to students because it makes the film more than a way to kill a few hours. Un- derstanding the whys and so whats of film technique helps one to more easily comprehend what he is being shown Supplementary films make a lesson much more impressive since the visual leaves a greater impact than the written The course helped me and so I endorse it highly. H. Weaver: Yes, because I think that it ac- quaints the student with the pro- cedure to be taken in doing it; I also think that it is a good experience, I only wish that my English class had been able to participate. S. Moore: I would like to see it in the cur- riculum permanently, because even though I did not actually film any- thing, I learned a great deal about filming. It was interesting and, for some, exciting. I feel that learning through experience and this type of participation is a new approach in teaching and the students like it. P. Cardarella: Yes, I enjoyed it, and I think others will. It’s a challenge, and being ready to meet a challenge entitles us to say “Lillis is the Best.” After Hours Time!!!

For the 38th con- secutive year Scholastic Magazines Inc., is sponsoring this event for the purpose of encouraging student achievement in creative art. Those whose work excel in creativ- ity, quality, and true craftsmanship, will receive regional honors. These consist of gold achievement keys and certificates of merit. “Blue-ribbon” finalists will be selected from these and regional sponsors will forward them to national headquarters in New York for the national high school art exhibition. Higher honors in the national display are gold med- als mounted on plaques, and includ- ing the engraved name of the win- ner. A one-hundred dollar award will be reserved for the most outstanding piece from each region, and this is offered by Hallmark Cards Inc. “Camera-bugs” of Lillis will be given a chance to display their talents also, as selected entries are qualified for the national Photography awards. It is interesting to note that Rt. Rev. Msgr. McAuliffe (who taught at Lillis from 1948 to 1952) is on the Regional Advisory Committee, which consists exclusively of outstanding authorities on the subject.

Sister has received a minor in Art from Mount St. Scho- lastica College and at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she has done undergraduate and graduate work. She has also received a Mas- ter’s Degree in Art from the Univer- sity of Notre Dame in 1963. To add to this fine record of achievement, she has been requested by this University to return on a scholarship and work on a Masters of Fine Arts Degree, which is to be completed in the sum- mer of 1966. She is eagerly antici- pating the acceptance of her own en- tries. Her exhibit include the follow- ing: Fair Time in Kansas (SOLD) ‘'Family Democracy” “Harlem Ballet” “Blue Ice Cocktail” Thwarted Passion Six Sheets in the Wind “Lady Bug’s Jungle Gym Tumbleweed at Sunset “Somerset in Harbor '‘African Prayer Meeting “Jeremiah” “July Fourth Picnic I.

Perhaps a gradu- ate from Lillis will become another Picasso, Raphael, or Michaelangelo. Competition in this field provides incentive and these annual exhibits are existing proofs of the fact. We are confident that in this, as in all other fields, the students of Lillis High School will prove successful. COVER PAGE Art students: Carol Billinger, John Stadler. Don Wlntz, Barbara Brewer. Mark Duffy Students Respond to Picture Titles ROW 1—Johnalita White. Larry Durbin. Joseph Arroyo. Martha Gallardo. Larry Kleffner. Mary Hogan. Robert Harrison. Lavinia Dibal. Here are some of the titles of art works that Lillis students will ex- hibit in the art fair: Something Wicked Comes This Way , June Fun , Future Kansas City , Fam- ily Life , Ole! , Man's World , Spring . Which one is the most in- teresting to you, and what would you depict in a picture or painting bear- ing that name? Mike Brislan: “Future of Kansas City”. I picture it as a painting in transparent water colors. The sky would be light blue with silhouettes of buildings in the blue, in blue a little darker blue than the sky. In the front, a bridge would be across a “clean” Missouri River. Buildings of the future Kansas City would be just behind the river. Randy Garcia: In “Something Wicked Comes This Way”, you would expect something in the line of science-fiction, but all of the paintings are not modern art. Pat Moran: “Something Wicked Comes This Way”, sounds the most interesting. In the picture I would depict a squad of Communist soldiers saluting their Premier as they passed beneath the reviewing stand. Midge Cushing: “Man’s World” sounds to me most interesting. I can see the tall city buildings with the figures of only ROW 2 - Sharon Shippy. James Gravina. Lourdes Artlgaa. William Zondca. Elaine Weaver. Margaret Cushing. Henry Sendejas. Ranold Mueller. TALL men around them to signify that men are the giants among us. Men are the leaders and the giants of the world so they should be natur- ally depicted as such. Lavinia Dibal: “Something Wicked Comes This Way” sounds the most interesting. I would depict something that suggests darkness and evil with dark colors such as black, dark red or purple. An abstract or modern painting with dark colored hues, heavy black lines all mixed together in turmoil; con- fusion. “Something Wicked Comes This Way” has to be a strange paint- ing, but I think strange paintings are the best kind. Robert Harrison: “Ole!” sounds like a painting with a lot of color and action. I think it depicts a bull fight with a matador in motion. Lourdes Artigas: “Spring” would be a picture of na- ture, a beautiful day, or two persons in love, or something romantic. Mary Hogan: When I hear the title, “Coffee at the Gallery”, I think of a smoke-filled room, lots of people at tables and chairs, and then one lone figure loom- ing larger than the others, playing a guitar. The gallery is the name of an eating place, not a picture gallery. NOT PICTURED—Vickie Marline . Ethel Pipe . Mi eft at I Brislan. Randolph Garcia, Michael San- ford. Patrick Moran. Ann Lillis Henry Sendejas: “Something Wicked Comes This Way”. It’s an odd painting that is supposed to represent evil coming towards someone. Ann Lillis: I guess Future Kansas City sounds the most interesting to me because in the future everything is supposed to be so modern, but actually I would call this day and age modern. The first thing I’d depict in presenting this would be the object which caught my eye; there should always be an object (design) which attracts one’s eye. After that is established I’d look for objects beyond man’s imagination —because actually man doesn’t know exactly what the future Kansas City will be. So trying to demonstrate this through a painting will have to be through man’s imagination. Finally. I’d like to depict an abstract picture of the “Future Kansas City”. Sharon Shippy: Man’s World”. It probably depicts a man taking a nap in the yard while his wife cuts the grass. Martha Gallardo: The picture title “Man’s World suggests to me people—big people— both men and women—but the men dominate—in a large office—where the men give the’brders and women tiptoe around carrying them out. Renoir, Seurat, Picasso A Movie Approach To Art Appreciation Painting is giving form to the in- tangible. One sees joy. pleasure, pas- sion Especially in modern art which releases the artist’s genius from the flesh-and-blood boundaries of con- ventional reality. Renoir painted pleasure. There is a lushly graceful peace in his ap- preciation of the world. His women, sensually proportioned and postured, re-create the Earth Mother myth. Renoir’s art is, then, to be compared with that of pagan Greece, the wor- ship of the body and the things that pleasure it. The flowing lines of the painter’s works are the effortless folds of a goddess’ gown, indeed, his men and women are Olympians in the guise of our contemporaries. Reality is not a part of Renoirs’ world where everyone is beautiful. Mount Olympias transcends the com- monplace. Seurat exaggerated the bounds of morality and civilization, showing the special beauty they create. His is a world well-ordered, a woman in a lovely, high-collared gown. His nudes are clothed in the severe lines of this world. Freedom is not here, it is a tableau, a look at a moment. Picasso starkly captures the es- sence. In his quest for truth he dem- onstrates how flexible reality is. One sees a man but he is not in appear- ance a man. Perhaps then there is more to man than flesh and blood? Picasso exaggerates, as did the others, his works to liberate the mind, make it receptive, and then speak to it. Renoir praised what can be felt, Seurat intellectually bound life. Picasso? By jarring the mind he shakes some truth into it. He paints what one feels and can, oddly enough, identify oneself with. Art is an idea daubed with genius’ brush. —John Dooley In all my reading, I suppose I’ve read volumes on art. Even though I’ve never read an “Art Book” as such, art sort of works its way into all kinds of books. I can truthfully say, however, that I know more about art now than I accumulated in reading. It’s amazing! One film is worth a thousand volumes, when properly done. Renoir, Seurat, and Picasso are now people to me. I’d never heard of Seurat before today; I thought Renoir painted his pictures, and those funny ballet dancers; and I was sur- prised to discover that Picasso could draw anything as it appears. Now 1 can tell you that Renoir was of the sensual tradition. Seurat of the intel- lectual, and Picasso of the emotional. Also, that no style is perfect unto it- self, containing seeds of the others in it. Undoubtedly, the movie would have to be much clearer and much better to be effective initriment in teaching art, but to someone with my scant store of knowledge on the subject, it is like a crumb to a starv- ing man; granted, not much, but in- finitely more than before. For de- tailed study of a particular artist, the closeups allowed by the use of the camera could be invaluable. For com- parison of artists, the pictures side by side opened up a new dimension— “comparitivity”. How easy it is to see differences and similarities when the art works are side by side, life size and larger. Here we have art with- in an art within an art. —Phil Cardarella As a sworn anti-longhair, the movie From Renoir to Picasso”, meant nothing to be. Classical music I adore, but I never could get anything out of a painting, even a good paint- ing. Had the film been devoted en- tirely and solely to Picasso, or to Renoir, or to Seurat, 1 would have caught up on some lost sleep. But showing them all together, side-by- side in a three column arrangement, made the movie interesting, even en- joyable. I tend to prefer Renoir’s art with its gentle curves and graceful bal- ance. Maybe this preference exposes me as a sensualist, and maybe I am at that, but his seemed by far the most “arty” of the art presented. Seurat’s straight parallel lines and right angles were nice, surely, but I didn’t care for them. His paintings were too drab and lifeless. There was none of the subtle tenderness of Renoir, only plain-faced people, do- ing plain things, in a plain setting. Picasso’s art completely threw me. I can’t get excited over lopsided peo- ple with eyes on different levels. Picasso’s is a modernish art, portray- ing ideas and emotions instead of people and places. He uses sharp angles and wild patterns to get his ideas across. But the ideas were too extraordinary, too ugly it seemed to me. I could only look at them and shudder. Perhaps this was Picasso’s plan—to have people shudder at his works. But I can think of more de- sirable effects.—Sharon Cowick. The people who made this film let us make our own comparisons be- tween the three areas of expression —sensual, intellectual, and emotion- al. They don’t tell us that Renoir paints a light, pleasurable picture; that Seurat is the intellectual type using straight lines; that Picasso uses angles to contort the human visage on canvas. They show us examples of their work.—Gary Letts. The art subjects of possibly three of the most famous artists in the world, Renoir, Seurat, and Picasso, all express the same simple theme: the joy of life”. But each of the three masters saw the joy of life in a differ- ent perspective. Renoir saw it in a sensual way, and expressed it through the beauty of the human body Seurat produced life’s joys from an intellectual view- point. His paintings are reflections of rigorous simplicity, resembling the work of an architect, and leave you feeling that the structure still needs another coat of paint. Pablo Picasso expresses joy through emotional ten- dencies dramatized through abrupt angles, sharp points, and color con- trast. I find Picasso confusing in that his work is so diversified. Silent Moment Melancholy streamers of burnished hues Weave their pattern in the evening sky Ragged outlines of shedding trees etch A rough foreground. Bare dark earth rests in silent sub- mission. I walk, and for a moment cherish the beauty And uniqueness of the scene. Silently, I plead that the scene will Envelope me and lose me in it’s name- less splendor. I stand and wait . . . Leaves float through the breezy air And rest on the frosted ground Simply teasing the kaleidoscopic drama. The scene remains the same. Darkness falls I find myself lost in the breathless magnificence. But to my dismay With the last veiling shadow My wonderland submits To oblivion. —Teresa Wheeler Fighting Irish Split League Laurels Three Ways in Season s Final Game At Lillis this week, the sports pic- tures overlapped. Wrestling tights got put away, and track suits brought out. Varsity basketball players moved in to coach intramural teams, and to meet the faculty in post-season play. Golf clubs rattled even as the student body prepared to share in the Knute Rockne awards assembly to honor Coach Mintner as the prep football coach of the year, and Clem Talley as the area’s most valuable football player. Yet it is the hardwood sport, the most appealing spectator sport in the world, that gets our discussion this week, before the mothballs seal up a successful season in which the Catholic prep league honors were shared by Lillis with Hogan and Pius and a three-way tie. Captain Pete Clune says “Looking back on the season I see that we chalked up a record of 14-11. This is a record to be proud of considering we lacked a BIG MAN. We were known as GREEN GIANTS because of our hustle and determination. On three different occasions being down by 20 points at half time, we came roaring back to victory. The team of ’65 can be proud of its members, both for its fine record and fine atti- tude. The basketball season has finally come to a close, after approximately 5 months of work. 2 quarters of grades, and 25 games. As a senior some part of my high school career is over Before every game Coach Letourneau would say, “Well, sen- iors, this is the last time you will play this game, so put out lOO r”. Not until the last game did I realize that this was the last time I would play for Lillis or even represent Lillis as their captain. It had been a long season, full of rewards and dis- appointments. I am certain of one thing, however, “Every boy on that team gave all he had. every minute he played”. Clem Talley: I consider this year in basketball to be the greatest. It was surprising to me and the others that we did as well as we did. I am only five foot seven and the rest aren’t too much taller, but with a lot of hustle, we did great. With team work, we are tied for first place in the Catholic League. There was more coaching and help from the other players — you can’t find a better combination. I want to thank the coaches for giv- ing me the chance to play for them and LILLIS. I will always remember this year’s basketball season. Mike McPherson: Basketball season this year has helped me understand more fully the meaning of team work. We would not have won as many games as we did without team work. Because we are one of the smallest teams in the city we had only team work, and hustle and we had a lot of each. An- other thing that basketball did for me this year was help me make new friends from different schools that I would never have met otherwise. But by far the thing that helped me the most was being able to take or- ders and carry them out and being able to think fast and correctly every minute that I was playing. When I find a job in years to come that I think would make a good occupation for me. I probably will find out that taking orders and fulfilling them and thinking on my own when the time comes will be one of my biggest assets. Tom Salmon: This year’s basketball season had its ups and downs. Our record today is 14-11, but with a few more breaks we could be 21-3. We lost seven games by 2 points. We lost six out of nine games the last part of the sea- son, three of them league games. With the help of the coaching staff and team hustle, we have beaten many teams much bigger than we were. Stupid little mistakes has made us lose our games. If it wasn’t for our last half surge we would not have won a game. Lillis has always been a last half club. Next year Lillis will be a top contender for the league crown. Dennis Green is the leading scorer and Max Arreguin the leading rebounder. They are now only juniors, but they will be tougher next year. Phil Beebe has seen a lot of action in varsity play. Coming up from the B-team will be John Diaz. Leo Glynn .and Dan O’Neill. They are sophomores and they have had some varsity experience. Coach La- tourneau will have more to work with next year than he had this year He’ll have size, ability, and experience, but no class of ’65. Joe Rodriguez: This year’s basketball season has had its effect on the People of Lillis High School, especially on the play ers. At the beginning of the season we looked over the crop of players and all we saw was little men all over the court. We know we had to fight to get anyplace in the league because of our lack of height. All the oppos ing schools thought they were going to have it easy. First of all we had to prove it to ourselves that we were ready for everything. We started with Van Horn, a big school with big play ers who knew what they were doing Even though we lost by a slim margin we proved to ourselves and the Catho- lic Schools that we were going to be tough to beat. Pat Beebe, head cheer leader, com ments at the end of season: There’s no “maybe next game” any more. The season is finished The Irish proved to be a contender in the Catholic League which no one suspected and they won some out standing victories. The pep club mem- bers and the cheerleaders agree that the victories showed that all the sore throats, hoarseness, pulled muscles, and bruised muscles were not wasted The girls are proud of the boys who played hard throughout the long sea- son. The girls know now that it takes more than just height and hustle to make a team really move.

Lillis Celebrates Its Silver Anniversary; Bishop Lillis Is Honored at Program By Teresa Wheeler The years slip by so quickly. 1965 marks the 25th anniversary of Lillis High School. In 1940, all that our school consisted of was a second-story structure on 38th and Main, one ad- venturous Benedictine nun, the prin- cipal of the newly-formed school, a sprinkling of Freshmen students, and a great hope for the future. The most dominant trait of these few however, was their “Irish spirit.” Lillis would not, could not, be so successful or noteworthy in her role as a leading school in the area, with- out her will to “Do your best, and be the best.” Lillis knows the value of making responsibility attractive and appeal- ing, thereby using it to full capacity. Time is the sculpture of men and ideas, and Lillis faculty and students have used the years well. The Faculty In every undertaking, the most in- fluential factor is the constant and unrelenting labor and prayer of the beloved Benedictine nuns, who spare no effort and who seem to have a private line to Him who directs the activity. The nuns are certainly spurred on by a very good motive, the sheer love of God . . . which epitomizes the rule of the order: That in all things God may be glori- fied.” Without the behind-the-scene work- ings of our nuns, Lillis would be nothing. This is true of the principals who followed Sister Jerome, Sisters Ambrose, Benedicta, Theresa Marie, Winifred, Fabiola, and Sister Eliza- beth Ann, and of all the wonderful faculties that worked with them. Their humor, their serious discus- sions with the students, simply the awareness that here is a person who is genuinely and truly concerned with what a student does, and how he does it, is abundant enough to urge one on to things he thought beyond his reach. The nuns, and the incompar- able faculty we have here do not expect the impossible of the youth . . . They simply expect them to work to the best of their ability, and leave the test to their special Friend. It is amazing how often this turns out to be the successful formula. There have been ten Benedictine chaplains during the quarter century: Fathers Francis Broderick, An- thony Reilman, Daniel O’Shea, Regis Hiekey, James Downey, William Maat, Kieran Mclnerney, Lawrence New- man, Venard Helget, Donald Red- mond. They are all persons who cherish Catholic education and its results enough to sacrifice material gain for the love of youth, coupled with con- fidence in them. This encourages students when the urge to give up seems overwhelming. They realize what others can and are doing, and it serves to make them just a bit more aware of what Life is really all about. Memories are precious to the hearts of both alumi and present students. The silver tinsel of good time . . . the games, the homework, the mixers, the calls, the after-hour work on projects . . . the solid green of readily-accepted responsibility . . . the will to persevere until the job was done . . . the clear unblemished white of honest clean sportsmanship even if it meant losing the long- awaited game ... or the hoped-for speech honors, and the golden luster of memories near and dear to the hearts of all . . . the people, the work, the effort to perfect a common goal. Sports The trophy cases on first floor, main hall, serve as silent witnesses to the ability of Lillis students to compete with other schools, and time and time again, come out on top. Struggling manfully in football through the early years, teams came to the big time under Coach Mintner who arrived at Lillis in 1949. Since then the Irish finished in first place 7 times; in second place 7 times; third place, twice; and in fourth place, once. The 1964 season saw them unbeaten. Under the leadership of Coach Jerry Letourneau in 1961, the Lillis basketball team went to state, after a record of 29 wins, no losses. Bishop Lillis Memories . . . We take a moment to glance back at the people and events that illuminate the past. A priest, electric and challenging walks briskly onto the stage of our drama. There is something urgent and captivating about this man. Re- cently, Bishop James Hogan has raised him to the honor of pastor, at St. Patricks’ downtown parish. There for seventeen years, he is very active in charity work throughout the city, and instigates the formation of the Catholic Charity Chest. Next, excitement fills the air; there is a great celebration, and a new pre- late, a successor to Bishop Hogan, takes over as second bishop of Kan- sas City. Bishop Lillis in all his episcopal splendor, still remains the beloved and humble friend to all. He spurs the Roman Catholics in this diocese on to greater things, and a deeper love of God. The warm generous spirit of service of Bishop Lillis carried over into each priest con- nected with Lillis over the years — Vincentians, Redemptorists, Domini- cans, Augustinians, and diocesan priests. Among them we note Monsignor M. F. McAuliffe, now Superintendent of schools in the diocese; Monsignor Lawrence McNamara and Rev. Pat- rick Tobin, of Catholic Charities, Father Roger Miller, now at St. Charles Boromeo who returns to Lillis annually to award an athletic trophy. Father Joseph Hart, recently appointed Vice-Chancellor of the diocese, and Father John Cole, di- rector of Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. Program In the silver anniversary program, March 24. Dan Lillis, grand-nephew of the Bishop, portrays the Bishop’s role. Pastorship in the Irish parish is rendered by band, vocal and dance numbers: “McNamara’s Band,” “A Little Bit of Heaven,” My Fair Lady Medley,” When Irish Eyes are Smil- ing,” “Maria” and the “Kerry Dance. Participating: Lillis Band. Junior-senior chorus. Octet—Mike Peppard. Peter Clune. Mike Brown. Phil Werkowitch, Barbara Kent, Sharon Cowick, Midge Cushing. Stacia Moore. Pantomomes—Bill Flores, Tom VanCmap, Susie Bush. John Theis. Dancers—Jayme Hoffer, Tim Hellstein, Steve Rotrrt. Susan McCown. Helen Murphy, Pearl Stockdale. Life at the Chancery is noted buy cuts from Becket by Anouilh, and the “Hallelujah Chorus” from Handel. Participating: Tom Fasl, John Dooley. Phil Cardarella, Mike Brown, Pete Clune. Tom Car- sen, Mike McPherson: and the chorus. Suggesting the total surrender to God in his inner spiritual life, a third part of the program called Thomas Lillis at his priedieu, consists of the one-act play, Riders to the Sea, in- troduced by two Irish songs, “Irish Lullaby” and Mother Machree” and closed with “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” Participating. besides the chorus. Barbara Kent. Thomas Prevost. Kathy Strong, Sharon Cowlck. Leslie Bordenave. Patricia Nolte, Vernon Perry, Robert Healey. John Kelly. Tony Hamil- ton, and Kenny Kiphart.

Readecker, Ath- letic Director, Wentworth Military Academy, first athletic director at Lillis writes: I received your letter about the Lillis High School Silver Jubilee, and am most grateful to you for remem- bering me. It doesn’t seem possible that 25 years have passed since we first moved into the present Lillis High School Building at 37th and Forest Avenue. From that time on, we built many, many things. The first two classes were for the Freshmen and Sophomores, and then we added one class each year, until we had the Seniors. I can remember the school spirit and the enthusiasm of the stu- dents and their parents at the time we had our first graduating class in 1944. When we started out, we were one of the smaller schools particular- ly in the Catholic League, but with the cooperation of the Parent’s Club and the Faculty and the Students, Lillis became known among the great high schools of the Kansas City Area. Back in those days, 1 can re- member well, being the only faculty man teacher in the school, and so naturally, Sister Jerome and 1 had many discussions about the disci- pline problems, how to handle them, and how to cope with them. When we began to have basketball games, the gym was adequate enough, but as the years went on, and the student body grew, we began to have real fine basketball teams. And with the great amount of school spirit, and the enthusiasm of the graduates, many is the time we had to move our game from the high school gym at Lillis to Rockhurst Field House in order to accommodate the many pa- trons and friends of the school who came to our games. Back in those days, we had no practice facilities, and we had to transport the football, baseball, basketball, track and golf teams to the different areas by bus, which was then known as the “Green Hornet.” From the present advancement of the school, and the addition of the fine new Convent that you now have for the Sisters, the teams there at Lillis (of which I’m especially fond and proud) have gone to the highest pinnacles, climaxed this year by your undefeated football team. In the be- ginning, we had a little diffcult time scheduling a few of the public high schools in Kansas City. But gradu- ally we were worked into their sched- ules and it was a proven fact that we were their equal in stature and the ability of our students. Back in those days when they used to have the baseball tournaments at the A’s Stadium, (then called the Blue’s Stadium) we were fortunate in win- ning three of the four championships. I think perhaps Lillis had a closer tie with its individual students and with the parents of those olden days, and I am sure that the group now is of just the same caliber because if it were not so, Lillis would not be at the top now, as they have been in the past. I am proud that I was a part of the original beginning of Lillis High School, and I can only wish them well in the future. Twenty-five Sister Jerome Keeler, OSB, first principal et Lillis, writes from Le Blond High School, Saint Joseph, Mo.: Lillis High School opened in Sep- tember, 1940, in some rooms above a store at 38th and Main St. Instead of the anticipated enrollment of 60 freshmen, 101 appeared the first day. Among the students were a Joyce Kilmer, a Micky Rooney, and a Dorothy Dix. In April we moved into the new building at 37th and Forest. One class was added each year, and the enrollment grew from 101 to 680 the fourth year. Bishop O’Hara always showed a very special interest in the school, and all the pastors and the parents were most interested in its progress. From the beginning the Lillis stu- dents had a wonderful spirit, were active, energetic, and cooperative, and intensely loyal to their school. It was a joy to teach them. I am de- lighted to know that the esprit de corps, inculcated by the Class of ’44, has grown and increased through the years. Rev. Francis Broderick, O.S.B., chaplain at Lillis in its opening years, writes: The Lillis that I came to in Jan- uary of 1942 was practically a new high school. The students occupied the new building in September, 1941 and the sophomore class was su- preme. The guiding light was the principal, Sr. Jerome Keller and, in line with her character, Lillis hummed with activity. She knew what Lillis ought to be as a Catholic high school and possessing a high degree of leadership, she was able to fashion the school into the pat- tern that she had envisioned. Mr. John Readacker was the coach, a man of ability, firmness and understand- ing. The Sisters were an inspiration to the students, and as the school was comparatively small with just freshmen and sophomores, there was a close bond between the faculty and students. This bond developed most especially with the first class as from the very beginning these young people were called on to assume the leadership of the whole school. In- stead of “ruling” for one year as seniors, they had four years of this valuable experience and they brought honor to themselves and to the school by what they produced academically, athletically and socially. The out- standing characteristic of the school Years A Page of Reminiscences . . . was its spirit of an almost fierce loyalty. Lillis was not only good; Lillis was the best. The students be- lieved this and worked for this— and they were encouraged to do so both by parents and faculty. To add a personal note I should like to say this: the happiest days of my priestly life were the years that I spent at Lillis. These were days for me of growth in using my priesthood to help the young boys and girls, men and women by senior year, to an un- derstanding and appreciation of Christian thought and action, and it enriched my life in the doing. May Lillis ever retain what it acquired in its first years under the more than capable leadership of Sr. Jerome, its faculty and student body. Lawrence Newman, O.S.B., mem- ber of the first graduating class, and now a monk at St. Benedict, Atchison, writes: I used to overhear my teachers at Lillis say of me, “he not only is the worst behaved students but un- fortunately he also has a perfect at- tendance record.” I liked Lillis enough to attend every day — it’s still such an outstanding school it deserves your perfect attendance. 1 made many fine friends as a stu- dent at Lillis; some of them are my best friends today. I’m certain the present Lillis students will find many of their fellow students loyal and lasting friends throughout life. You’re also going to find some of your teachers among your best lifetime friends. At a certain school, a recent safety sign read, “School — Don’t Kill A Child.” Beneath the admonition was written in a childish scrawl: “Wait For A Teacher.” That could never seriously be written of any member of the Lillis Faculty at any time since its founding 25 years ago. Es- pecially as Lillis Chaplain several years ago, I saw the tremendous dedi- cation of the Sisters and Lay Facul- ty — a constant Lillis tradition. I wonder if the Lillis students realize how hard and well the Sisters work day and night to maintain Lillis’ rec- ord as the best high school in Kan- sas City. I read in the Kansas City Star that Coach Mintner’s efforts this year en- abled some football players to receive college scholarships; such effort is typical of your Lay Faculty and your Benedictine Sisters. I’m certainly impressed with the various forms of excellence shown by the Lillis students — excellence in the academic life, including excel- lence in Science, English, Drama, T V. Quizzes — and excellence in sports. Congratulations for continu- ing and building the fine Lillis tra- dition; we Lillis graduates are mighty proud of you. Mary Katherine Taylor, now Sla- ter Mary Kevin of Mount St. Scho- lastica, currently teaching at Kelly, Kansas, writes: Thank you for the opportunity to write a letter on the occasion of Lillis’ silver jubilee. Having been a member of last year’s faculty makes it a two fold pleasure to be able to do this. As a student at Lillis during the first four years (I’m afraid I’m dating myself) we were the “have-nots as far as building and materials go. The first year we started in a temporary building on Main Street and it wasn’t until much later in the year that we had classes in the building the students use now. But we were wealthy in the sense that we had wonderful teachers who were inter- ested in us as individuals — teach- ers who enjoyed teaching and made their work an art. Today, from the material aspect, Lillis can count many worth-while additions. She can boast, too, an even larger staff of talented lay and re- ligious teachers — one of the finest faculties in Kansas City. Congratulations, and may God bless both students and faculty in their work during the next quarter century. Braham J. Geha, M.D., member of the first class to graduate from Lillis High, writes: Lillis then — Lillis now. Only faces have changed. The spirit and academic standards are the same. Why? Because the Benedictine at- mosphere of excellence in education still prevails. Those of us who have left this environment look back and know that it is true. I left Lillis High School in 1944, well prepared to begin my life’s work in the healing arts. I received a B.S. degree from Rockhurst Col- lege and then a Doctorate in med- icine from Creighton University. I will always remember my time at Lillis with a deep sense of grati tude for what the good sisters and prests implanted within me. May the Benedictine atmosphere always pre- vail. Congratulations Lillis High School in celebrating your silver jubilee! Scientific Extra-Curricular Projects Challenge Students to Excellence by Kathy Steinbach Science activities at Lillis go be- yond the regular classroom bounda- ries. Other events and activities which students have taken part in include the Kansas City Annual Sci- ence Fair, the Junior Academy of Science, and the Science Seminar Program held at Linda Hall Library. Some of our students have also par- ticipated in the Max Thornton Essay Contest, Bell Telephone Day, and a Spacemobile demonstration spon- sored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Several students in the science de- partment are now putting the fin- ishing touches on projects for the next big science event. The Four- teenth Annual Science Fair of Great- er Kansas City will be held in the Municipal Auditorium on April 28, through May 1. The Annual Science Fair, sponsored by Science Pioneers, Incorporated, has become one of the largest science fairs in the nation, involving more than 30,000 elemen- tary and secondary school students. A science fair is a means to interest, develop, and encourage young people in the many fields of science. The study of science and research they carry on informs them of the re- wards and satisfactions to be derived from careers in science. Any boy or girl interested in science and at- tending public, private, or parochial schools in the Greater Kansas City Area may enter. From Lillis there will be entries made by students under the directions of Sister De- Montfort. Last spring, Lillis won a first grand award in the physical science division at the Kansas City regional science fair. This win sent a Lillis student to National Science Fair competition in Baltimore, Maryland. Junior Academy The most recent of these ,'xtra science activities was the Eighth An- nual Assembly of the Kansas Junior Academy of Science held on March 20, at Shawnee Mission East High School. The Junior Academy is a state-wide coordination endorsed and supported by the Kansas Academy of Science and the National Science Foundation. The purpose of the Academy is to stimulate interest in science among people and encourage students to conduct scientific investi- gations. It offers training in present- ing scientific matters before the pub- lic and affords opportunity for mak- ing contacts with scientists. Students who apply for membership in the Academy are asked to develop an original idea on a problem they wish to investigate. They conduct con- trolled laboratory experiments and make conclusions based upon re- search data. The participating stu- dents write a paper about their prob- lem and data they have collected and present it at the district meetings. Lillis was well-represented at the district meet of the Academy by eight students under the direction of Sister Mary Lawrence and Sister De- Montfort. There were three entries in the field of mathematics. Patricia Nolte presented a report on ’‘Phi, the Irrational,” Tim Hellstein’s prob- lem dealt with “Sets of Constant Width,” and Gordon Julich presented a paper on “The Uses of Moire Pat- terns.” The topic of “Ice Crystal Growth in Saline Waters was given by Delores Nolte in the chemistry section. Four students from Sister Mary Lawrence’s biology classes were entered in the Academy. In the field of general biology Peggy Tackett presented a paper on the “Effects of Stimulants and Depressants on the Invertebrate Heart.” A paper en- titled Does the Kidney Serve a Hem- ostatic Role?” was given in the same division by Sharon Sullivan. Kathy Steinbach and Ron Reilly gave their projects in the zoology section at the Academy. Ron discussed “Bioelec- tricity in Fish,” while Kathy present- ed a paper on The Effects of Apple Cidar Vinegar on White Mich.” Sixteen counties in Kansas and three Missouri counties were repre- sented at the Kansas Junior Academy of Science. Out of approximately 310 entries there were twenty-six first place certificates awarded and sev- enty-five second place ribbons given. Competition was keen, but Lillis did well by having two second place win- ners. Both Peggy Tackett and Sharon Sullivan were given superior ratings for their biological research work. Linda Hall Local meeting of the Science Sem- inar Program of the Kansas Academy of Science have been held bi-weekly at Linda Hail Library throughout the year. This program has also included a meeting held at the University of Kansas Medical Center and the an- nual meeting of the Kansas Senior Academy of Science. These meetings have been attended regularly by Pa- tricia and Delores Nolte. The purpose of this series is to provide science lectures of the highest quality given by scientists of note, bringing emi- nent scientists face to face with the highly interested high school stu- dents, thus providing an opportunity for an interchange of information and ideas not possible before. The science studies and projects being carried on at Lillis this year could not have developed if it weren’t for the instructive leadership of our- teachers in the science department. Sister Mary Lawrence, Sister DeMont- fort, and Sister Seraphine have work- ed tirelessly this year not only in the classroom, but in extra-curricular ac- tivities. They have succeeded in ac- quiring many new friends for the field of science. New interests in the studies of scientific processes and phenomena have been awakened in a large number of their students. Faculty Studies Sister DeMontfort, Sister Seraphine, Sister Mary Lawrence, and Miss Mary Quirk have all received grants from the National Science Foundation to attend post-graduate courses at col- lege this summer. Sister DeMontfort and Miss Quirk will have six weeks in mathematics at Notre Dame Uni- versity. Sister Seraphine will be tak- ing an eight week course in chemis- try at the University of South Dakota, at Vermillion South Dakota. Sister Mary Lawrence will be studying psychology for eight weeks at Clare- mont Graduate Center, near Los An- geles. Students, whose science interests began two years ago under the di- rection of Sister Margaret, have been following her and her broadening science career at the University of Notre Dame. Recently Sister Mar- garet was interviewed on national TV after she had been invited to apply for astronaut training at NASA, the manned spacefraft center in Houston. Sister turned down the of- fer, saying that a regular plane ride would be the extent of her aerial performances. COVER PAGE Pe(|j Tackell Father Patrick Tobin Addresses NHS Character, Scholarship, Service, and Leadership! These qualifying marks for the National Honor So- ciety members are closely related. Character is essential to the forma- tion of Scholarship, and from these naturally spring Service and Leader- ship. Those who have received much must be prepared to give much. Scholarship is the pursuit of truth; it is the ability and the desire to un- derstand both man and man's en- vironment, and through these, the ultimate Truth of God Himself. It is Genius and it is dedication; it is a gift and a committment . . . The scholar's mind is a restless mind, questioning and challenging, gaining hope from the words of St. John, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”—Philip Cardarella Because the person of strong char- acter is not afraid to stand alone, he neither needs nor wants the false security that groups, cliques, and crowds offer. He needs no empty assurances, believing as Shakspeare wrote, “To thine own self be I rue, and thus it follows, as day does the night, that thou can not be false to any man.”—Karen Nimmons Rev. Patrick Tobin Three quotations stand out from Father Patrick Tobin’s address on “A Christian Student” given to the student body on the occasion of the Honors Assembly, April 7. Is it sufficient to light a candle, when within us lies the power to light a beacon?” Everyone we meet is either helped or hinedered to eternal sal- vation.” “Is there true love without disci- pline? Is there true discipline without love?” To become a leader is an impos- sible task, to improve the qualities of leadership that you already have is a necessary task; to lead down the path you know is right, fighting all obstacles, overcoming all disappoint- ments is a task that all leaders must strive to complete. Leadership is a gift that must not be wasted. A leader must overcome the problems of being either too proud to lead down a straight path or too humble to lead at all. Wise men have written proverbs for centuries. An Arabian leader wrote this one: He who knows not and knows he knows not; he is a fool shun him. He who knows not and knows he knows not; he is simple shun him. He who knows and knows not he knows; he is asleep awaken him. He who knows and knows he knows; he is a leader follow him. —Mike Brown True service springs from the noblest of virtues. It is only just that those who enjoy superior gifts should use these for the benefit of others; If the blessing is not shared, than the blessing is undeserved. There is no excuse .'or disregarding the duties that accompany the gift. As St. Paul told us, “Though I have faith so as to remove mountains, but have not charity, I am nothing.”—John Dooley Pr6nt row: Janice Mahoney Rosalie Meade, Kathy Strong. Tom Prevost. Mike Brown.

Edited by FrancetU Johnson Away into Space Today, the space program is a very expensive and timely project, and to some people, wasteful. To them, the idea of sending a man around the earth, or going to the moon or other planets, is an absolutely preposterous and worthless idea. Why go to the moon they say? What good will land- ing on Mars or Venus do us? There are many people like this, who are obviously uninformed. Not too long ago I used to ask these ques- tions. Now I have come to a better understanding of what this space pro- gram is. It helps to stimulate our eco- nomics by circulating the money. It makes the spirit of America rise and this makes a better American of the man on the street. This is shown by the hundreds, possibly thousands of people in New York who missed their trains just to stay at Grand Central Station to watch the space shot! I take these ideas from Vice President Humphrey, but I support them with my whole soul. —Gary Kempf I think that it is selfish to think that God made only us and that we are the only pebbles in the uni- verse. —Diego Velilla Our present space program, which is costing American taxpayers mill- ions of dollars every year, is worth every cent of that money. It is so for three reasons (a) if the Russians gain unopposed control of outer space it could be detrimental to peace, i b) someday it might be necessary to con- trol population by movement to an- other planet (c) it is important that man have a reason to search or work at something that is a challenge to man’s ingenuity. President Kennedy said .Space is A NEW FRONTIER FOR MAN. —Robert Marx If Columbus had been too afraid to venture forth on a perilous journey where would we be?—Mich- ael Smith The first nation that lands a rocket on the moon has it made. They could rule the earth. I am going to like to see what will happen when the U. S. and the U.S.S.R. meet on the moon. If it takes a billion dollars a month to beat the Russians to the moon, then pay it. It’s going to be worth far more in return. You ask what I want to do for the space program. Well you name it and I’ll try and do it. But right now there isn’t too awfully much I can do. —Bob Darby The exploration of space would broaden my knowledge, give me added faith in mankind and, I believe, uncover the mysterious insights of space. It would help us understand God more because those are His won- ders up there; and in understanding and appreciating things God has done, we will be more able to understand Him. —John Apel Two weeks ago Gus Grissom and John Young roared from the launch- ing pad at Cape Kennedy, Florida, to circle the earth four times. This is not the first such encounter by the United States nor will it be the last. Arising from these adventures into the dark unknown is the question “Is it worth it?” I think we have to explore space. We know that the earth's natural re- sources are going to expire someday and maybe there are resources in space which would be useful to us. Also it is a well known fact that the first to reach the planets will, in case of war. be able to ring the bulls-eye on the earth. —Stephen Rotert Ever since the beginning of time, one of man’s fondest dreams has been to travel to the Stars. Why not let him fulfill his dreams? I don’t think the space program is costing so much, compared to foreign aid; it is practi- cally nothing as far as wasting money goes. The space program. I think, is very essential if the people wish not to be under the Communist domi- nation, because every Communist feat in space is worth tons of propa- ganda. I think that to deny man this desire is a waste of the God-given knowledge and material. Therefore, “When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for a man to dissolve the bonds which unite him to earth,” let him do it! —Tim Hellstein I think there is some intelligent life elsewhere and, if there is, there must be primitive life there too. I don't think God would have created all those planets just to go to waste. When we reach some of those planets we will have our answer. —Linda Gomez The space program is good, but the dam Senators and Representatives are too stingy with our money. The people of the United States are too chicken to face the facts of space travel and too many people are in- different. —Gordon Julich The space flight really helped man- kind in that it provided a new wave of enthusiasm for everyone to get to the moon. If scientists can perfect space travel and create artificial atmosphere on different planets and the moon, people can live anywhere they want. They can commute b - tween planets and space stations. I think what is really needed is a craft that develops enough force to get out of the gravity of earth but still be rather small, not much bigger than a city transit bus. If by future re- search of the other galaxies we can travel all around, I think, this would be great progress to mankind. Since automation is taking over, man needs to do something so he can just buzz around to different planets. If another form of life is found on the planets we could exchange customs with them. Instead of everyone having a swimming pool in his back yard they might have a launching pad. Time would not be a factor in life anymore. If you wanted to be on the other side of the earth at ten o'clock you could leave at nine fifty-nine and be there by ten. I think I shall within the next 30 years. —Don Reilly I believe that there are different beings on the planets that are going through trials just like ours in order to get to heaven. I just can't believe that God made all those planets and stars just so we could have something to look at and explore. —Mervin Graham I think this space program is a very good and intellectual thing. There are probably vast amounts of uni- versal treasure, great adventures, and a lot of good and bad awaiting for man in space. We may solve the prob- lem of over-population; there might be ways for us to grow crops on cer- tain planets. It is far too much for us to understand now. but with the con- quering of other planets there would be so much to do. say, and most of all we must keep going forward in prog- ress, for the most intelligent rule the universe. All this money that we now spend on these space programs will not be wasted. If I had money I would probably invest all of it in the space programs and as the years go by those stocks would increase many times over. Beyond the realm of man- kind is the great mysterious treasure of the universe. We would surely find many more elements. Soon nu- clear power would be absolute, con- trollable, and be used in sewing ma- chines. —Daniel Wright Seniors Take to Stage and Screen As Year Winds Up Work in Glee TV Both stage and screen absorb the talents of Lillis seniors as the year draws to a close. Springtime in Paris will be trans- planted to the Lillis stage May 7-8-9, 8:00 p.m., when the Lancer produc- tion of a 2-act musical comedy, SO THIS IS PARIS, will be presented by Sister Clement Marie’s glee clubs. A TV show. THE GIFT OF TONGUES, a half-hour review of the history of communications in the service of the Church from the preaching of Apostle Peter to the late-late show will be presented over KCMO, Sunday, May 16, at 8:30 a m., on the Your Church and Mine Pro- gram, by a group of Sister Bede’s senior English students. Stage Story Line Six American girls, with their chaperone, arrive in Paris, last stop on a tour of France, and are plunged into a series of delightful and hilar- ious situations. There is also the warmly tender story of a seventeen-year-old French girl, lame since childhood. The Amer- ican girls, undertaking to raise funds to send her to New York for an op- eration, hit upon the idea of an American block party, French style, and soon have their French friends all talking about “ze block partee.” Against the colorful and pictur- esque background of Paris, there is gaity and high comedy mixed with some appealing romantic moments, and the play ends on an exciting and happy note.

I think you’ve done it!” That is the way the seniors greeted the juniors at the prom held in the Lillis gym. Friday evening. May 14. Just as Eliza Doolittle was trans- formed into a ravishing beauty by her dear Professor Higgins, so also we see the magic-like transformation of our fellow classmates into ravish- ing beauties and debonair gentlemen with all the charm necessary for a successful evening. Lovely ladies with their formal gowns and care- fully styled hair-dos. and charming gentlemen in their plaid and brocade dinner jackets with their shoes as shiny as a looking glass, waltzed lightly around the ballroom floor. “I have often walked down these halls before, but when I walked into the gym . . .” The transformation took place not only in our people, but also in our once drab gym. It was now changed into the magnifi- cent ballroom with all the glitter and sparkle necessary to give life to beauty. The glitter-covered stairway, the waltzing silhouettes of the “Lady” on the walls, the dancing stars falling from the heaven on our stage, con- tributed to the perfect ecstasy felt by all who attended our ball. “The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.” No truer could a statement be for it is for certain that only clear clouds of happiness hovered over the delicately decorated gym. Not one storm cloud passed over the auditori- um where we once so enthusiastically jumped up and down cheering for our team to win. The dancing waters of a ten foot fountain was the center of attraction as the Grand March gradually made its entrance to begin the Ball with another added touch of grandeur. Starting at the gym door, the march proceeded to the middle of the Ballroom floor and wound around past the umbrella-covered tables. Leading the procession, we saw the chairman of this great ball, Professor Jim Frantze and his date. Miss Na- dine Bellante. Following him, we saw his two co-chairmen, The Belle of the Ball Midge Cushing and Tom Fasl, and The Respectable Gerry Stanley and Miss Mary Maloney. Next came the guests of honor, the Seniors and their dates preceded by the in- stigators of this grand affair, the hard-working Junior Class and their dates. The chaperones and specially invited guests also mingled among the ladies and gentlemen in the march to give it an added feature. Dancing to the sweet sounds and melodies of the Collegiates immedi- ately followed the procession of the Grand March. Naturally, the high point in the evening took place right after inter- mission with the announcement of the “FAIR LADY” and her “MAIDS IN WAITING” who reigned over the remaining moments of the Ball. The The Fair Lady. queen of the ball. Linda Cervantes, was crowned by Coach Jerry Letourneau. Her attendants. Midge Cush- ing and Sharon Engel were crowned by their escorts, Tom Fasl and Joe Mlntner respectively. crowning took place on a beautifully decorated platform high in the bleachers for all to behold them. A dance was played in honor of the Ladies and their escorts. Waltzing lightly to the tune of their song, our reigning royalities showed their de- light through the glint in their eyes and sparkling smiles on their gentle faces. You could immediately detect the pride their dates had for them as the young men gently looked upon the girls they then were dancing with. What a perfect way to top off an evening!! Steady and untiring work and sup- port from the Junior Class and their sponsors greatly aided in the success of this Year’s Prom. A special con- gratulations is in order to Sister Gratia for all the work she did on the decorations, money-collecting, and actual ideas of the Prom. Her staunch support and help gave the Junior Class the extra boost that is necessary for any project to be a success. To all the Juniors go thanks and sincere congratulations for a job very well done. To the Seniors, we want to say that you deserved all the hard work we put into this Prom and per- haps even more because we think that you are a GREAT SENIOR CLASS!!

Dismissal Where To Find Them For the Summertime The summer will find the majority of the faculty on the other side of the desk. Sister Elizabeth Ann will be studying French at Elmira College, Elmira, New York, on a National De- fense Education Act (NDEA) grant. Mr. Bessenbacher also received a NDEA grant in History to Arkansas State, Jonesboro, Arkansas from June 7 - August 14. Four other faculty members re- ceived National Science Foundation grants. Sister deMontfort received an NSF grant in Mathematics to Notre Dame University in Notre Dame. Indiana, from July 21 - August 6. Sister Mary Lawrence received an NSF grant in Psychology to Pomono College from June 21 - August 13. Sister Seraphine received an NSF grant in Chemistry to the University of South Dakota, Vermillion, South Dakota, from June 16 - August 13. Miss Quirk is also the recipient of a NSF grant in Mathematics to Notre Dame University, Notre Dame, In- diana. Sister Gratia received an Art Schol- arship to Notre Dame University from June 21 - August 6. The summer will find Sister Bede studying Communications at the Uni- versity of Notre Dame. Sister Car- men will be studying Spanish at Saint Louis University in St. Louis, Mis- souri, from June 22 - July 30. Sister Bernice will be at Central Missouri State College, Warrensburg, Missouri, studying Debate. Sister Mary Harold will be in town at the Kansas City Business College, studying Business. Sister Georgette will be studying Li- brary Science at Catholic University, Washington, D.C., from June 28 - August 11. Future teachers may have found their niche in the annual Teacher-for- a-Day program, May 13. Summer weather has long been the enemy of education and learning; students who have performed admir- ably during the entire year often find themselves distressed when con- fronted with hot school days. Teach- ers, at least in the realm of Educa- tion, are assumed to be immune to all such physical distractions; how- ever as spring fever whiles away at the budding student, eventually even the master becomes affected. Phil Cardarella filled the supreme post as “Sister Elizabeth Ann for a day.” Sister Bede found herself on the working side of the class as Mike Brown and Jim Brooks led discussion on short stories in 202. Jack Flores further relieved Sister Bede by tak- ing her 7th hour Spanish class. Miss Chartier gratefully gave John Dooley and Sharon Cowick charge of her un- declassmen. Father Quinn will be at Redemptor- ist Seminary, Oconomowoc, Wiscon- sin. Sister Mechtilde will be studying at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa. Miss Bromberg will be studying Eng- lish at the University of Missouri at Kansas City. Sister Clement Marie will be hold- ing down the old fort (LILLIS) and teaching this summer. Sister Mary Donald will be teaching at Mount Saint Scholastica College at Atchison. Sister Jeremy will be teaching Eng- lish at Donnelly College here in the metropolitan area. Miss Allen has decided to put into practice what she has been teaching all year. She will be working at Wil- liams Engineering in Mission, Kan- sas, as a secretary and bookkeeper. Father Donald will give two mar- riage retreats and then will divide his time between parish work and just taking it easy. Thus far Sister Gertrude Marie has no plans for the summer. Father James can be contacted at the Guadalupe Church at 907 West 23rd Street, where he will be doing parish work. You can see Father Cole on television where he will have a show or at the St. Louis Church, 5930 Swope Parkway. Coach Mintner, Mr. Propp, and Mr. Letourneau can be reached at their homes where they plan on tak- ing it easy. Miss Judy Chartier will marry Tom Kitchin July 3, and they plan to make their home in Junction City, Kansas. Coaches Bessenbacher and Fischer donated their activities to Mike Pep- pard. Sisters Seraphine, and Sister Bernice found a good Samaritan, Jesse Gonzales to give them a rest. Jack Flores also helped Coach Mint- ner in Drafting. Loretta Bloom took over Sister Gratia’s job in the art classes. In room 200, Patricia Nolte and Leigh Proctor taught mathematics. American Problems in 201 had John Kelly, Karen Nimmons, Tom Fasl, Gary Perkins, and Gary Letts. 203 saw Tom Fasl teaching freshmen Eng- lish. French classes attracted Karen Nimmons and John Dooley. John also taught speech classes. Miss Allen had several to help her: Marchita Stanton taught Shorthand I, Helen Weaver Office Practice, Joe Camirello Bookkeeping, along with Francetta Johnson and Francis Row- land. Candy Cowell taught Shorthand II Miss Bromburg let Pete Clune take over for her. Peter Clune taught the junior Eng- lish classes; sophomore English class- es were conducted by Mike Brown, Barbara Kent, Patty Beebe, and Sharon Cowick. Spanish classes interested Linda Cervants, Joe Camarillo, Virginia Lopez, Mike Macias, and Robert Me- dina. Mike Peppard had American his- tory; Loretta Bloom, office practice. In mathematics, Larry Wintz had geometry; Tom Prevost freshman al- gebra; Leslie Bordenave, math 4. Susie Bush and Delores Nolte had chemistry classes; Mike McPherson shop classes; printing — Dan Lillis, Mike Macias, and Carl Olles. Not all teachers surrendered their posts; and those who did supervised the efforts of Ihe aspirants to the profession. All reported interesting and productive classes, and indica- tions that the profession can expect some fine new members to join the ranks. At last we reached that high pedes- tal — the senior year. You will never know how it feels until you experi- ence it. Our great class of ’65 had dwindled from 180 green frosh to about 125 educated seniors. This year, although it is almost over, will always be a part of my memory of dear Lillis. The games, parties, and of course the classes will stay with me the rest of my life and I will ever after think back and relive the thrill- ing life as a student at Lillis. —John Theis Lillis Lettermen Row 1 Bob Plumberg.

Lillis is a good school and it is a school to be proud of. The students who go to a school account for that school’s reputation— be it good or bad. We are lucky to have good kids here at Lillis. The senior class at Lillis this year has lived up to the “Who’s the Best?” challenge as their excellence in both the physical and academic aspects of life has been shown in various ac- tivities. We had the best football team in the city and were good enough to win championships in basketball, wrestling, and track. The class of ’65 is the “best ever” in athletics. Our speech and drama crews have heaped still more honors and titles for our school and they are also the “best ever.” Perhaps what I am leading up to or what this all boils down to is this —WE WERE CO-OPERATIVE. When we, as a class, were asked to do something, we did it. Very few argu- ments arose and many things got done. As a rule, the greater per- centage of our class did what they were asked without asking “What’s in it for me?” The Seniors ’65 have left some- thing behind for you freshmen, soph- omores, and juniors to strive for. We are the BEST in Athletics, Drama, Speech, Newspapers, Moviemaking, Studies, and anything else you care to think of. You have the same school, the same teachers, the same facili- ties — I challenge you to be the best. Next year do not live on our reputa- tion; make one for yourselves. —Mike Peppard Looking over the past 4 years I can see many wrong turns that I took in school. First of all was the fact that I never really studied hard and I should have and the next important mistake was not choosing the right subjects because I had to work hard my senior year with Chemistry and Physics. One of the most enjoyable classes though was my Senior English class which made movies and tele- vision shows. My only regret is that we had to write short stories and analyze poetry. Otherwise I enjoyed my years at Lillis but I am looking forward for next year at the Univer- sity of Nebraska.—Mike McPherson. As I look back on my four years of high school I only wish I had tried harder in everything I did. I only After FourYears At Lillis High hope I will amount to something now because I hate to think I wasted all my time for nothing. I’ll never forget the Football team of '65 and Coach Mintner who is one hell of a nice guy.—Jack Flores. Good things: Debate, though 1 seldom won. Grease paint that is easy to re- move Yelling in the stands, pacing and stamping. History and English, Teachers I agreed with, Cornering the Council. Categories, Building the Speech Club, Skits for Rallies, Feuding Teachers, Being called to the office for GOOD news. Best Forgotten: Sacred cows. Uncomprehending teachers. My command of French, Sessions in the office, 3 minute intermissions in 3l t minute halls, Vocation talks. Sex talks. Nuisance rules, Censorship, Senior class naps, Losing contests. All in all, it’s been good. I’m lucky. On the 28th, look for a fat cynical waterfall.—Phil Carderella Four years have passed since I looked upon these walls in the sum- mer of '61. And now realizing what they mean symbolizes not just the supports for a school but the founda- tion of education for ourselves and America as well. It is too bad that understanding comes late. It is bad that we are foolish too soon and wise none too often.—Tony Hamilton I have enjoyed this whole year tremendously and especially the new English course. At first my feelings were that English was going to be a real pain but when I found that it was merely an exercise in letting your imagination roam I was thoroughly engrossed in the course. It was by and far the most interesting stimulat- ing class I have ever taken. —Robert Plumberg After four years in this establish- ment of learning I find that I am truly reluctant to leave. I can look back on those four years and be satis- Edited bjr Mike Peppard fied that my class, the class of 1965, was the best ... in every way. The future is a little shakey, for every one of us, and for myself, I wouldn’t mind a few more years with the green and white. I think I’ll miss the football games most of all. There’s something excit- ing, almost electric in the atmosphere as the lights in the stadium, the cool air, the crowds, cheers, and unin- formed boys all combine to create a sport. There’s something satisfying, too. knowing that for the first time in the history of your school, you left every game victorious. Lillis High will always be a part of my life now, and to extemporate any further would undoubtedly crack me up, so I’ll quit.—Sharon Cowick. Graduation is always a time when speakers continually tell you of the challenges of going out into the big bad world and making it a better place to live. But it is also a time for reminiscing — for remembering. When I think back over my school years I remember my classrooms, all the homework, and school activi- ties. But these aren’t really the things that are important to me. The most important and beauiful memories I have from school are the people I have known. All the wonderful peo- ple who have done so many nice things for me—my friends, my par- ents, my teachers. These people have made life bearable, even exciting, and I shall miss them most of all. For it really isn’t the wood and cement that make a school. It’s the people who have done so much for me I say “Thank You” — from the bottom of my heart.—Barbara Kent. It’s over and I’m finally going to get out of the place. The first year was a new experience, the second and third fun and work, the fourth fun, work, and drudgery. The last few months left as if I was in a prison. Finally I’m going to be free. It’s been fun at Lillis, but the good times and the bad are over. It’s time to be moving on, and I for one am not going to be sad at the parting. I’ve much more to look forward to. I can’t forget these past four years, the memories will always be there. I’m proud of my high school and proud to have been part of it. The teamwork here is great in all fields. I only hope it stays the same so that people will always know the Irish are best.—Tom Provost. ON POVERTY ■ A Message to High School Seniors We believe high school seniors are mature enough to comprehend the tragedy of poverty—and to contribute meaningfully to the battle that is being waged against it. Today the United States is committed to the greatest humanitarian cause in its history—a massive counter- attack on the causes of poverty, which are robbing 35,000,000 Americans of the opportunities most of us are free to pursue because we had the advantage of a decent start in life. That start has been denied to one- fifth of the nation’s people. Thirteen million of them are children. VISTA, Volunteers in Service to America, was organ- ized to give individuals the opportunity to apply their talents in a compassionate national cause—to fight pov- erty in the front lines. Here, lack of education, poor health, unemployment, inadequate housing, and dis- rupted family relationships condemn people, often from childhood, to a life of futility. The work of VISTA volun- teers is to help intervene with the tools of opportunity. You will become eligible for VISTA once you are 18 and have completed high school. VISTA training will pre- pare you to take part in programs for the poor of all ages, in all parts of the country. Young people who plan to go to college later often enroll for a year both to help others and to enlarge their own capacities for teaching, social work, or careers in sociology, economics, law, and other fields. Home base for VISTA volunteer groups can be a city tenement row, a struggling farm community, an Indian reservation, or a migrant labor camp. Volunteers may help organize recreation programs or tutor children who are behind in school. Some serve as aides to social work- ers, as mental health assistants, as teachers of hobbies and crafts to the elderly. In VISTA, volunteers do what- ever is needed to encourage people to find their way up from poverty. The opportunities are great: you can help pave the way for an America in which the democratic ideal is big enough to encompass everyone. Will you lend your abilities to people who live in need?
