Photographs of murals throughout paper are taken from the walls of the first floor corridor ln the new wing They were designed bv Sister Adelma Wheels Dont Throw Sharp Stones Mary doesn t talk to Jane any more She used to but now there s Sue and Tom and Pat and their crowd It surely 1sn t Jane s fault Jane always greeted Mary included her in every conversation really con sidered her one of the circle of friends Why should she turn her back to Jane? Sue and Tom and Pat are the people in at least three school organizations All of a sudden Mary started observing more and more of their ways studied their actions went out of her way to talk to them Jane didn t even count with them why should she matter to Mary? What business is it of anybody that It s Just plain un Christian to snub Jane? Jane s been doing some serious thinking I it she who s faltered'7 Has she been a goody goody a stick in the mud? But Jane won t let it worry her It s Mary and her new found friends Apparently no one ever taught her or she doesnt want to remember that you re Just as good as she is and even better that to exclude and ignore you really isnt the mark of a Wheel and that she ll soon learn shell never get any where that counts with that kind of behavior But Jane will talk to her anyway be nice to her she s wise that way Mary may come to realize if shes really smart that shes Just a follower and a m1ghty poor one Jane ll find she s the best and that makes up for everything Val Reuschlem Teens Build Society 011 Basis of Cliques According to juvenile authorities all teen-agers and delinquents join together in cliques. Gangs or cliques have usually been associated with the news- paper articles which picture a group of four or five boys rolling drunks and beating up old ladies. Cliques are not a new innovation. People always join a circle of friends who suit their own personality and interests or live close enough to have frequent personal contact with each other Assoclating ln cliques however seems to be basically a high school style because lt IS more pronounced in teen agers After asking several students whether boys are more cliquish than girls I find that most of them seemed to believe that the girls operate more in cliques and are more dependent upon a clique for so cial engoyment Even many of the girls who hate the truth admitted the clique was a big part of their 1 e To name Just a few of the feminine cliques in the senior class there are the North Siders Wells Street West Allis Elm Grove and the Kiskas of Green dale and Hales Corners These of course are the well established corporations undoubtedly there are nu merous smaller independent organizations not repre sented in the Homecoming Parades by elaborate floats bearing the banners Kiskas or North Siders V Ralph Hahn The Plus XI Journal Published nine times yearly by the students of Pius XI High School Milwaukee 13 Wisconsin 1954 55 ALL CATHOLIC EDITOR IN CHIFF Jim Stoffels Assocurrr EDITORS Aews Virginia Nelson They Say Till Bruett Edztonal Valerie Reuschlem Photograoure Marian Mollan Sports Joe LeGath Alumm Wmifred Hahn REPORTERS Ed Carroll Joyce Frischmuth Jacquie Grace Ron Kogis Kay Mooney Chuck Salisbury ART AND EXCHANGES Jackie Ripple PHOTOGRAPHY Paul Lukitsch Jerry Curman Richard Komas TYPISTS Joyce Rauth Roberta Rickmeyer Mary Wolf Vol XXII No 2 October 28 1955 ' ., V If ,v 1 5 - , - 4 , A ll Q, Q .9 Ls Ji!
