Sponsors Study Day The Pius X1 sodality, under the di- rectorship of Father Albers, S.A.C., and Sister Jacqueline, O.S.F., will sponsor a second annual archdioce- san sodality day at Pius on Satur- day, October 24. Exclusively for high school sodal- ists of all grade levels, the convoca- tion will start with the celebration of Holy Mass about 10:00 a.m. fol- lowed by the opening remarks. Afterwards the delegates will have the opportunity of hearing a pro- gram consisting of a number of arena style addresses delivered by Father Joseph Eagan on the theme of the day, Youth for the Church and Mary. In addition to the lectures Pius will repeat an innovation made last year. Sodalists will divide into groups to participate in classroom discussions led by Pius senior so- dalists. All Milwaukee area Catholic high school sodalities are invited to send an unlimited number of representa- tives to attend the all-day event. Outside of the archdiocese of Mil- waukee invitations have been sent to high schools as far south as Chi- cago, Illinois, and as far north as Fond du Lac. The large response to last year's sodality day saw thirty different Catholic high schools represented. These combined to send a total of over five hundred student-delegate participants. Second Y.C.S. Day Why Y.C.S.? will be the central theme for the second Y.C.S. study day to be held at Pius November 11. Delivering the keynote address on this theme will be Reverend James Lane from Marshfield, Wisconsin. Other guest speakers include Rever- end Ernest Dreher of Messmer, Mil- waukee Y.C.S. chaplain, and Murphy Dowouis, a member from the Na- tional Ofiice in Chicago. After Mass and the address, dis- cussion workshops will be held. The topics will include the basic Y.C.S. technique, the Social Inquiry, the Gospel, the Liturgy and the Action. Four member sections from this area-Pius, Messmer, Holy As- sumption parish, and St. Hyacinth parish-will attend. Outside Mil- waukee, schools attending will be from Marshfield and Beloit, Wis- consin. Because a number of new schools to whom Y.C.S. must be introduced will attend, many of the basic ideas of the organization will be dis- cussed. Group Guidance Tries New Slant A group guidance program is be- ing conducted by Mr. Riegert and Mr. Whelan, beginning around Octo- ber 9. They are going into the sophomore and junior classes once a week for iive weeks. Their main concern is the under- achiever -one who is not working up to his ability because of a lack of knowledge in regard to school and his courses. They are trying to get the individual student to know himself. While Mr. Whelan was attending Northwestern University this past summer, he did the dirty work, as Mr. Riegert says. What he did was develop a program that both he and Mr. Riegert would follow. As the classes progress, the in- dividual student will receive a worksheet on which are found his test grades, what he excels in, what he is best suited for, and how .his present courses tie in with his pos- sible future occupation. This work- sheet will be discussed by the two counselors with the student and will be kept for future references by the individual. College scholarships will also be discussed and material on occupa- tions will be handed out. Teachers will be expected to augment this program and make the student more conscious of his studies. In addition, Father Becker and Sister Hyacinth will conduct in- dividual interviews with the seniors. Mr. Whelan and Mr. Riegert, guidance directors, could be examining your record. 1 Photo by Leon Ploszai Student Council officers Chuck Burke and Donna Ganser deport for the Na- tional Student Convention in Pittsburgh. Pius Additions A Home Nursing course taught by Sister Emma and Sister Vincentella was initiated on October 5 at Pius. Fifteen class periods will be used for this course. Following these fif- teen classes a special Mother and Child care course will be offered. The first five classes of this course will be taught by a nurse. Upon the successful completion of each course, a Red Cross certificate will be awarded to the students. In case of disaster these girls will be known as nursing assist- ants, stated Sister Vincentella. Classes are held in room 300 dur- ing the sixth period. On Mondays and Wednesdays, Sister Vincentella teaches, on Tuesday and Thursday, Sister Emma. Teachers and Courses Nine new teachers have joined the Pius teaching staff this year, includ- ing four Pallottine Fathers, one Sister and four lay teachers. The four priests, teaching only religion, are Father Gawin, Father Gillis, Father Kurth and Father Rauterberg. Sister Mauritia also teaches religion. Miss Bett comes to Pius from Canton, Ohio, and Miss Kivlahan from Rock Falls, Illinois. Both teach Spanish and English. Miss Rau comes from Sterling, Illi- nois, and teaches girls' physical flicers Attend Sessiong Assembly Starts Year President Chuck Burke and secre- tary Donna Ganser represented Pius at the national Student Council con- vention, held in Pittsburgh June 21 to June 25. Discussion groups on the various problems and functions of Student Council occupied most of their time. Chuck Burke stated that many of the delegates were surprised at the power of the Pius Council. The idea of a Student Court exercising an amount of authority impressed many of the delegates, he said. At the convention, speakers stressed making the Student Council more than just a club, and Pius' Council is trying to do that. Instead of a suggestion box, the Council is contemplating a grievance commit- tee. An important improvement in Announced education and sociology. Typing is taught by Mrs. Johnstone, who also helps in the guidance ofiice. Two new courses have also been added this year. They are econom- ics, taught by Mr. McCabe, and an- cient history and scripture taught a semester apiece by Sister Theodine and Sister Francis, respectively. A junior orchestra has been or- ganized for beginners by Sister Ce- cile. The 30 members of this group will eventually graduate into the regular orchestra. Registration Tally As the school year begins, 684 sophomores are enrolled at Pius. This is the largest group in school. Following them are the seniors with 653. Accommodating them, rooms 306, 308 and 310 have been desig- nated senior homerooms. The juniors number 623 and the freshmen 613, one of the smallest freshmen classes in the past years. A total of 2,573 students enrolled this year. Hebrew Psalms Sung The Gelineau Psalms, which have recently entered the liturgical move- ment, rolled off the tongues of the boys of the Select Chorus, as they entered the gym in an introit pro- cession. It was the first Mass of the new school year, September 17. 2 the organization of the Council is the diffusion of duties among the of- ficers. Burke said that the Student Coun- cil will be a good one and will help the students if the students back the Council and realize that it is a me- diator between the students and the faculty. New Council in Action Newly elected Student Council officers presented the first assembly of the year, Friday, September 18. Chuck Burke headed the assembly designed to give an insight into the more important regulations in the Student Handbook. A skit based on the familiar beat- nik theme covered such topics as uniform regulations, corridor traffic and behavior in the classroom and cafeteria. Mike Roller 226 related the scenes in which the two characters, Bob Diedrich, Coolness, and TomCurly, Creep, acted the positive and neg- ative sides of the rules, respectively. Following the skit, the officers conducted a short question period. Concluding, Chuck s t a t e d that Your Student Council is here to help youg rules are made to bene- !7 22 The all-Catholic and newspaper of distinction rating, the highest rec- ognition that could be paid to a Catholic s c h o o l newspaper, was awarded to the Pius Journal by the Catholic Press Association. Pius has maintained this rating for five consecutive years. Ten pictures that were submitted to the Young People's Art Exhibit at Capitol Court last June won awards. Blue ribbons were won by graduates Mary Ellen Smith, Kath- leen Gabert, and junior Bonnie Van Ert. Honorable mentions were won by graduates Natalie Riesch, Diane Konkol, Sharon Lindquist and senior Marsha Vander Heyden. Out of the five pictures Marsha entered, four received honorable mention. Bill Schmid 430 gave his services to Washington High School as a Visual Aid Cadet.

November 9 I3 'list Week Pionites Shun Opening day registrants for the annual Summer School of Catholic Action, held in Chicago, Illinois, in- cluded nine Pius sodalists. For five days, August 24-29, the Conrad Hilton hotel was convention headquarters for the delegates. The program for the summer school was constructed around its theme, Thinking with the Church. A day's schedule consisted of a general session followed by four elective lectures. Both religious and lay speakers addressed the sodalists. The Pius representatives who at- tended for five days were juniors Barbara Bakic, Mary Fenzl, Camille Stroinski, Marilyn Van Echteren, Don Klug and sophomores Joan Ja- cob, Becky Lacke, Don Auer and John Loomis. Pius Goes to Badger State Pius went to Badger Boys and Badger Girls State again this sum- mer in representatives Bill Baum- gart, Karen Jensen, Tom Stockfish, and Petra Linneman. Each year the American Legion sponsors this na- tionwide study of law, state govern- ment and leadership, with the hope that those present will take what they have learned back to their schools. For the Wisconsin meeting, top notch students from most of the high schools were selected to go to Ripon College for one week. Boys and girls went separately. At this small college some six hundred future leaders gathered, but things were run a little differ- ently. Dormitories became villages, towns, and cities. Campaign speeches were given, elections held and officials installed. Pius students serving as ofiicials were Senators Karen Jensen and Bill Baumgart, who held the offices of city police- man and ward chairman, county su- Mqrquatio Summer Sun pervisor and state assemblyman and governor's aide. From all the officials the students elected a governor who later joined other governors from the other states for a national meeting at Washington, D.C. Besides elections, the students en- gaged in a regular school week con- sisting in classes, tests and the forming of a band and orchestra. Murtaugh, Dirks Cross Border Key Club president Bob Dirks and vice president Jim Murtaugh were chosen to represent the Milwaukee area in an international Key Club convention held in Toronto, Canada, during the summer. It began July 1, Canada's Dominion day, and ended July 4, Independence day. At this convention club members elected new international officers and passed new resolutions for the coming year. Out of 3,500 repre- sentatives from C an a d a and the United States, Murtaugh was elected president of the committee of inter- club relations. He said this would prove very helpful to him with Key club work during the coming school year. New Fall Styles Parade at Pius Six Pius girls and eight Service Guild mothers will model new fash- ions and hair styles in a Fall Style Show Wednesday night, October 14, here at Pius. Arranged by the Pius XI Service Guild, the show will feature latest fall wear from The Lorain Shop lo- cated at 115 West North Avenue. The fourteen models, including freshman Eileen Melville 118, jun- iors Kathie Conway 313 and Kathy Mangen 318, will also display hair styles by Trassers. Furs by Richard Rich, Inc., will also be shown. The Pius orchestra, conducted by Sister Cecile, will provide a string background for the models and will also play some popular selections. Four door prizes including a mink collar and clock radio will be given away and refreshments will be served. The aim of the School Guild this year is to buy new books for the Pius library. Among other activities for this year, the guild has invited many speakers for future meetings including Father Fischer from Chi- cago and Dr. N. Topetzes from Mar- quette. Also planned are a student panel, Make Way for Father, a sewing class fashion show and the annual Guild Fair. Group Guidance On the evening of October 7 Pius parents had a chance to meet the teachers in their natural environ- ment. They went through a school day corresponding to that of the stu- dent except that classes were ten minutes with seven minutes in be- tween. Fashion talking, Kathy Mangen 318, Kathy Conway 313 and Eileen Melville 118 will model for the Fall Style Show, October 14. 3 To be a freshman . . . is to be new, as new as a flag with fifty stars.

Cartoonists and humorists may glorify the horribleness of the pesky kid brother, but I am certain that is only because their life was never menaced by a kid sister. At this very moment, she is lollying crosslegged on my bed, munching on an apple. Her long legs are encased in well-worn jeansg and on her head, plunked in a casual manner, is my brother's army fatigue cap. Feminine ap- parel is the bane of her young life. She wears a dress to school simply because the rules firmly state Girls may not wear jeans in the classroom. I can remember the Sunday she attired herself in ivy leagues and T-shirt and nonchalantly informed the family she was ready for church. Our shocked and incredulous protests only made way for one of her innumerable arguments. Her reason- ing frequently pursues a logical vein, hoping to attract one of us to her defense. In a dramatic tone, complete with gestures, she demanded, Isn't our family health- conscious? Do you want me out in this weather bare- legged? While she was quickly herded upstairs to change, she had the last word, The boys wear trousers. Why can't I? Her lack of pride in her crowning glory is most an- noying to me. No pony tail, bangs, or ribbons satisfy this sister of mine. Her hair is closely cropped and brushed back behind her ears. This is the nearest she could come to a schnitz without causing a family uprising. Imag- ine how I feel when a new acquaintance sweetly exclaims, Is this your handsome little brother? With all the courage I can muster, my reply comes rather stifliy. This is definitely not my handsome little brotherg it's my not-so-handsome sister! Mistaken identity may be justifiable, but when one's sister is invariably being taken for a boy, a fellow's pride can be quickly deflated. Other girls her age acquire lady-like hobbies such as collecting records, pennants, or autographs. But not my sister! She plays basketball, baseball, and football and glories in relating how she made each basket, hit, or tackle. I can always be assured of finding her at the play- ground along with my football, my helmet, my shoulder pads, my basketball, or my mitt. Last week I came home to find her in the backyard building a soap-box sled, using my skiis for runners! One feminine characteristic in which my sister is not lacking is her ability to talk. She chatters continuously and always manages to say the wrong things at the wrong time. On one occasion, this little demon blurted out to my father, Are you in a good mood? I'm dying to hear how Mom breaks the news about the fender she crinkled! I don't doubt that her eleven years and her three older brothers have been a determining factor in her precocious actions, but I for one will welcome the day that this en- ergetic little dynamo becomes sweet sixteen.

Kathie Conway g d fi F lf fm VZSNZ5 X .., I ml 'X X qr N Brush drawing by sophomore Carol Lisenfelder T ey Say... Is the attitude of Pius stu- dents towards Religion, Ca- reers, Studies and Social Life a serious one? My opinion is that the average Pius student does not think seri- ously about his religion, his career, or his studies. He is more con- cerned with his social life, thereby neglecting his studies at least a little. The thought of a career does not enter his mind until maybe sen- ior year, for why worry about some- thing that's years away. And as for religion, well, when one has had it for eight years in grade school, Tell me, Sister, is there more to learn? Monica Kania 216 The average Pius student does have a serious attitude towards his studies. Most of the students try their hardest to keep their average up and a large number try to raise them. I think that here at Pius you can find serious thinking mixed in with happy moods and a friendly social attitude. What more could be asked of a student? Kathleen Casey 415 The when in the Pius student's life is the pivot point in this ques- tion. The confused freshman is be- sieged by a barrage of football games and social events. He actu- ally sees no importance in these af- fairs but wishes to conform. The sophomore, trying to assert himself, rejects the advice of others, but takes an easily-shaken stand on social activities. The experienced junior begins to think Perhaps there is something to Religion, careers, social life, and studies. But he can't actually con- nect them to his immediate need or his personal life. The respected senior, with his greatly needed foresight, sees that this does apply to his future. For many, the senior year will be their last contact with education before facing the world. Mary Staley 316 During the teen years, many im- portant decisions have to be made, decisions upon which most of our future depends. By the time we are high school students, we can no longer expect others to do our think- ing for us. Most students realize this. They've developed serious at- titudes toward these four important subjects. However, some p e o p 1 e over-emphasize the social bit, others put their all into studying. The ideal would be a balance be- tween the two. Religion plays an important role in our everyday livesg although our halos aren't visi- ble, don't think our Catholic educa- tion hasn't given us principles to live by. By the same token, just be- cause we like parties and fun, don't 6 think we haven't realized the im- portance of our future. Sue Weiley 216 Although almost all of us joke about what some of our friends should have as a career, I think each of us spends a lot of time seriously thinking about a career. We are going to spend the rest of our lives with the vocation we choose, and unless we are interested and enjoy this occupation, we will become bored and will not work to our full ability. Here at school, in each of our classes, there is some suggestion of a future career. Al- most every day, we refer to our fu- ture life and it is almost impossible to escape serious thought about our careers. Mary Jane Doherty 317 If you break it down into four separate parts, you will find the stu- dent's attitude toward religion is quite serious. Why, over two-thirds of the students go to confession and Communion on First Friday and holy days of obligation. Quite a number of the students also belong to religious clubs in the school. The students' attitude toward ca- reers is very slack. Most of us are only interested in becoming big shots with all the guys and gals and not caring two hoots about what subjects we take or what we are go- ing to do after high school. The students' attitude toward studies could be much improved. If we wouldn't Worry so much about who we're going to ask to the dance next Friday, and more about our subjects, we might get somewhere in school. Concerning social life, well there is only one thing I can say about that: Crazy. Jim Murtaugh 218 I think the attitude of Pius stu- dents toward studies and careers is a serious one in junior and senior years. I don't think freshmen or even sophomores realize in three or four years they will be on their own. When they do realize this in junior and senior years, their careers and studies become more intent. Reli- gion and social life are almost two different things to a freshman or sophomore, but juniors and seniors become aware of how important re- ligion is in our lives and what our roles are as Catholics. I think only when we realize what life really is are these attitudes serious. Marilyn Greguska 326 Personalities Plus . . . Stars and Scales For Two Pionians Both girls found knowledge and excitement at national workshops but each came back with a differ- ent set of ideas and accomplish- ments. Focusing Follies A uranium spot on her right hand, night classes in astronomy on top of an engineering building and methods and results of experiments are all reminiscent for junior Mary Ellen Haberstroh of three weeks of thorough science study at a nation- al workshop for high schoolers. A Pius XI junior, Mary Ellen was the only Wisconsin representative among eighty chosen from appli- cants attending the workshop, spon- sored by the National Science Foun- dation at Ohio University. Her tui- tion and expenses, almost S400 in all, were paid by the science founda- tion. Along other focusing lines were classes in astronomy, photography, geology, math, botany, civil and electrical engineering and physics. Mary Ellen's summer study did not end on July 4, the last day of a four-week session. Recently, she sent a bag of Lake Michigan sand summer geology professor, to her who is working on a soil project. Much has led to Mary Ellen's curious interest in science. She has three cousins majoring in science, ranked seventh in her class last year, and did a project on mold for the science fair last year. This Pius junior is not all science and no play, for she has studied piano for eight years and is a mem- ber of the Journal Staff. .J Music Is Her Key Today, as millions sit earwide and pie-eyed over Van Cliburn, another musician practices her way to keys of victory. But Barbara Janis, a senior here at Pius, is not going entirely unnoticed. She spent part of last summer at a music work- shop, has won many awards for her fine piano workmanship, and plays first violin in the school orchestra. This fine musician plans on taking up music as her career by obtaining her degree from Alverno College, where she has taken piano and vio- lin for four years. She also studied music at Blessed Sacrament grade school for seven years. As a foundation for her future, Barb spent June 29 to August 1 at a music workshop for high school at Northwestern University, studying music history, theory, choral tech- nique and opera. Her most memorable experience was an audition in which she and one other girl, the only two out of the forty-five participating mem- bers, received the head of the voice department for voice lessons. Barb remarked, I c e r t a i n ly learned an awful lot in five weeks. The experience of being with musi- cal students was educational in it- self. Also, I learned a very good practice habit in which I practiced three hours a day. Now I try to con- tinue this schedule. Having practiced her way up from a little pin for excellent per- formance in fourth grade to an ex- cellent rating in the N.C.M.E.A. at Alverno College, it looks as if some- day we'll be listening to Barb Janis Piano Concerto No. 2.

Don't Blame Me Coming back from a recent as- sembly, Sister Confirmata saw a freshman suddenly break out of line and head the other direction. Asked where he was going, Timothy Arend 406 replied, Well, Sister, I know a better way. The man against the institution. Those underworld characters Chris Pfannerstill and Jim Keefe were finally caught! Cselling locks to the freshmenb Unaware of the outcome, Bob Scanlon 230 crossed through the parking lot at Wisconsin Lutheran High School. As he reached the other side, there stood a huge hall guard who wouldn't believe that Bob was from Pius and hauled him in. It seems those hall guards are pretty tough all over.

Values - a much kicked about, much revised term -revised to suit our hallowed advertising agencies, revised to suit our rising standard of living and revised to fit our own opinion of our own behavior. According to the esteemed Mister Webster, values are qualities held highly by a person of strong char- acter. It has a nice sound, don't you think? Let's see if it will stand up to a little logicizing. It would seem, if you are going to follow the definition pre- sented, that a person with no values or rather wobbly ones is going to turn out a crumb in the character department, also. So if you give more than a good- sized darn about what you're going to be when your alma mater turns you out into the cruel world it would probably be in our best interest to investigate and remedy this matter. If you've ever sat down in a secluded corner, looked to be certain no one was watching, and then proceeded to ask yourself the reasons why you are what you are, you'd probably come up with some rather good questions. For instance, just why do you go to school, to football games, to work, to parties, if these functions are to play no part in building your values and consequently your character. School isn't going to last forever fa revelation I'm sure you are all overjoyed at hearingb, but the fact remains that you are here to gain a little knowl- edge, and if we must resort to this, at your parent's expense. Repaying the school for its efforts also falls under the heading of your obligations, and this too is governed by your sense of personal values. School isn't the only area in which a little of yourself might be applied. Your religion is suifering as it is because of the very lack of people who think, who penetrate superfluous, material things and begin to ask themselves accordingly. A little thinking along the right lines, contrary to popular opinion, can be the most important factor In Memoriam . . . For them life is changed not taken away.

Larry Lock Joe Collegiate, Crowd Pleaser The scene is the homeroom on Monday morning. Joe Collegiate drags himself in. The immediate re- action of Joe's classmates is, Where were you last night? This is right up Joe's alley, for, after get- ting the attention of everyone in the group, he re- lates his experiences at the really Urockin' type party that he attended the night before. Anyone who was a somebody Was there, relates Joe, trying to be casual about it. Joe thinks he has just impressed the small group that he is cool, a real socialite. The people that don't know Joe might actually think that Joe is sort of a sharp guy. Just for the record, lets look back at the evening of the party. As Joe comes slinking down the basement stairs, his presence might be acknowledged by one or two people in the group. He casually makes the rounds, saying hello to all his friends, but after this he be- comes stumped. His attempts to break into a ping- pong or pool game fail when he is told that three or four guys have precedence over him. On hearing this, our hero naturally pulls out a cigarette and smokes that until he finds someone else who is hav- ing the same trouble that he has. It seems that in reality Joe Collegiate has a so- cial problem. He is afraid to face it. Maybe it's be- cause he goes around with a group instead of with individuals. Maybe Joe should take a good look at some of the guys he calls his friends, why he calls them his friends, what they want out of life, and whether they will be his friends ten years from now. Where were you last night? Patrick McGrath The Pius XI Journal Published eight times yearly by the students of Pius XI High School Milwaukee 13, Wisconsin 1955-59 All Catholic-Newspaper of Distinction VOL XXVI, NO- 1 October 15, 1959 I Bore Me Are you a bore? No, not you, you say, you're sociable, the life of the party. That's fine but what if the party was limited to only one person-you. Would you still be the life of the party or would you bore yourself? Can you make yourself interesting to yourself or must you rush to the telephone and oc- cupy your time in lifeless conversation, just to be talking to someone? No one is suggesting that you talk to yourself, but you should learn how to enjoy these leisure moments you have to yourselves. Next time you are alone, instead of picking up the telephone receiver, try picking up a good book. Music is also an excellent means of relaxing in our leisure time, but who can relax listening to the screeches and groans of Bobby Rydell and Fabian. Lend an ear to some modern jazz or go extreme and play some classical music, you may even enjoy it. Hobbies and crafts which occupy our hands as well as our eyes such as sewing, mechanics and cook- ing keep your interest. Man is a social being but he is also an individual. If you can learn to entertain yourself in a mature manner, you will be unlikely to bore yourself or others. Kathy Lennon Serious Studies? Now let's study seriously this year, kiddies ! Yes, once again the yearly chant fills the class- rooms. It's your senior year . . . You're a big junior now . . . Sophomores are supposed to be mature . . . You're not eighth graders now . . . Now listen friends, let me clue you in. Don't be- lieve a word of it. If you don't want to be serious, you don't have to. Think of not being serious as an act of charity. After all, you're leaving room at the top of the rat- ings for the dumber kids. You're also getting the dumber students into college in your place or maybe you'll be giving them your job. Right now you're probably asking yourself, is this fellow crazy. I wouldn't give my best friend my job or my place in college. But that's just what you're doing with the lack of a serious attitude: you're giving away what you want most after high school. Speaking for myself, I'm going to be a bit more selfish. Bob Dirks Soul-Sagging Suferers Are you over-tired, worn-out, exhausted? If you are, Geritol or pep pills are not your answer. We're not talking about physical health. Now don't close the paper just because you foresee the word spirit- ual. After all, why have our parents sent us to a Catholic high school? Certainly not because they like our cafeteria arrangement or our wood-shop course. They want us to get a sound religious train- ing during these four years because after we have graduated there won't be the little nun to give us that extra push. That little push may mean the difference be- tween full-human and half-human nature. And it's in high school that we should have a serious attitude and learn where we are going by helping ourselves. There are so many helps along the way. First we must examine our creed, find out why we believe what we believe. This can be exercised by taking an active interest in religion class. Second, we must form a code by developing a correct conscience. To do this, we can make use of the spiritual guidance provided for us by the priests at Pius. And lastly we must share in the cult. This can be done by in- telligent participation in the Mass and the sacra- ments. Now everyone, let's dig in. Practice makes per- fect.

The Lighter Side In response to recent demands for a credible sports column, I have conceived one that is foolproof: it is backed by Webster's New Inter- national Unabridged Dictionary. With no malicious intent toward any of the senior football players, I would like to relate my findings on the first names of the senior players. See if the meanings are significant. Blanchard, George - Husbandman Cfarmerb. It could be taken two ways. Gee, Carl-common man. Just for the record, Carl is president of his homeroom. Bross, Gary-Sorry, Gary, Mr. Webster doesn't have the meaning of your name, but at least you've got your picture on the sports page. Kozlik, David - synonymous with poet! Thompson, Bartholomew - Sorry, Bart, but it seems the apostle took up all the space. Corona, Theodore-a gift of God. What do you think of that, Mr. Elger? Heller, Robert-Bright in fame. That ought to be worth a few more touchdowns, Bob. Schreiber and Groninger, both share the name Richard which means strong like a ruler. Wucher and Guagliardo, John- impertinent or low-bred person, a boor. Remember, you guys, Webster said it, not me. Here's one of those deceiving pictures we love to put in the paper. But really center George Blanchard doesn't usually run diagonally across the field. Pius' all conference managers shown hustling as usual are, from left to right, Clin: Reidel, Mike Roller, Bob Poetzel, Tom Curley and Jim Denomie. Wilde, Thomas-a twin. You fig- ure it out, Tom. Donegan . . . I have always won- dered why Edward Donegan wants to be called by his middle name, Michael. Edward means a guard or defender, Michael means who is like God. What about that, Ed- ward? Molenda, Al, and Dentinger, Ron -Sorry, fellas, but Webster didn't mention you. We'1l have to get you in next time. Incidentally, Patrick means noble, a patrician Cmember of the upper classj. Patrick McGrath Press Picks As you look on your left, you can well understand why George Blanch- ard is the best prep center in the state. Powerful co-captain Blanchard has an extra burden on him as he is one of the indispensables in the Popes forward wall. Until Coach Elger can find a capable replace- ment, George must be counted on for all of the 48 minutes on Sunday afternoons. Coach Basile's pride and joy, thus far in his high school career, has managed to survive serious injury. But in the Mendel game George was actually knocked out on the field. Once revived, he insisted on remain- ing in the game. This is just one reason why the Brave's batboy will help lead the Big Gold to another championship. Jim Braun 14 Sports Sidelines Bowling began September 21 for Pius students. Mr. Gosling took ten teams with him on the twenty-first to Byerly Bowl to establish aver- ages. The boys have a banquet planned to close the season. They also plan to give out awards for three games and single games to in- dividuals and teams. V V V Mike Feeney, outstanding guard on the Pius football team last sea- son, is now attending St. Thomas College in Minnesota. Mike is on the second string squad for St. Thomas, though only a freshman. V V V The Rod and Rifle Club had its first meeting the week of September 27. They plan to go hunting and target practicing in the near future. V V V Incidentally, the '59 Pius XI track team grabbed the Catholic Confer- ence track title last season. The tournament was held at Marquette University Stadium. V V V Bob Heller was chosen as this year's track captain by his team- mates. Bob was State Catholic Sprint Champion last year. Neil Casey 13 in a Ro al-ces Them G0 Looking 1 i k e the championship team of last year, Pius' football team rolled over its first three opponents. For the Popes this marked their thir- teenth victory in a row. They have not lostagame since the 1957 season. Champs vs. Champs Mendel the Catholic Conference champions of Chicago p r o v i d e d Coach Al Elger's crew a stiff test in their nonconference opener atWarne Field. Gary Bross teamed up with halfback Carl Gee on a short pass play early in the first quarter to give the Popes the initial advantage. The Bross-Gee combination was good for another six pointer in the third quarter. This put the Popes in front for good after a Mendel touchdown had knotted the score. Junior halfback Jim Hamill, a consistent ground-gainer all after- noon, contributed a one-yard sprint around end-Veteran fullback Ted Corona rounded out the Popes' scor- ing in the closing minutes of the last q u a rte r with a T.D. jaunt around left end. In offense and defense, the boys with the gold jerseys looked even better than the scoreC24-6Jindicated. Popes vs. Bishops North Stadium was the scene of the tilt between the Popes of Pius and the Bishops of Messmer. The Pius victory was just a numerical one, however, for the Popes didn't look like the same team that had thoroughly trounced a strong Men- del High team a week earlier. Although the offense sputtered throughout the game, it was ade- quate enough to grind out four touchdowns and two extra points. Carl Gee accounted for the first tally on a 43-yard run early in the first quarter. Ron Dentinger added to the victory margin with two scoring plunges of 7 and 5 yards, respec- tively. The second half was an entirely different game. Both clubs failed to move the ball with much effective- ness, although they both squeezed out one touchdown in the final stan- za: Pius on a one-yard jaunt by Ted Corona and Messmer on a pass play from Pete Salza to Russ Lange. The Popes 26-6 victory marked the eighth consecutive year that Pius has beaten Messmer on the gridiron. Three for Gee Once again Carl Gee supplied the scoring punch for the Gold with three touchdowns in the first half, on runs of 26, 15, and 10 yards, re- spectively. All told Gee racked up 131 yards on eight carries. His per- formance in the St. Joseph game earned for him the title High School Back of the Week in the Milwaukee area. Right behind Gee in total yards rushing was Jim Hamill with 90 yards, mainly accounted for by his 84-yard touchdown run. Coach Elger substituted freely in the second half. Ted Corona broke the second half deadlock when he in- tercepted a pass and brought it all the way back for six more points. Reserve quarterback Jim Jaeger hit his end, Al Molenda, on a 50-yard scoring play. The extra point made the final score 39-0. Pius Picked Pius was the pre-season pick to re- tain the championship, however, re- cent showings by Marquette and St. Catherines have put a different com- plexion on the race. The weekends of October 25 an d November 1 should tell the story. Patrick McGrath 216 B's Scout for Golds Mr. Miller's B-team once again will take up the task of preparing the senior team for oncoming foes. Mr. Miller, along with Mr. Medicus, spends his Sunday afternoons scout- ing the Golds' next week opponents. After a Sunday afternoon of writing, Mr. Miller teaches his B- team the Popes' opposition's plays. And they in turn run these plays against the varsity, thus acquaint- ing the varsity with the other team's plays. Mr. Miller must be given credit for his coaching alsog he is respon- sible for supplying the Golds every year with ready and willing hard- nosed football players. Such juniors are quarterbacks Jim Jaeger and Joe Tesch, halfbacks Jim Hamill, Dick Olsen, and Tim Groh, fullback Jerry Pintar, and linemen Bob Hau- enstein, Dick Fischer and Craig Phillips-just to mention a few. The Pius freshman team is always a contender as they have won two championships in the last three years. We lgiow very little of the freshmen thus far, but if names in- dicate anything it looks like another fine year for the youngest Popes. They have Ron Weid's brother, A1 Molenda's twin brothers, Joe Tesch's brother, Dick Groninger's brother and of course another Dineen. With these boys--if theyfre anything like their brothers-Mr. Manti and Mr. Garrot should have a field day.

Professional musicals cer- tainly are scarce in the Milwaukee area so it definitely will be a pleasure having them interspersed throughout what appears to be a worthwhile season. A veritable gem of a performance has found its way here in the per- sonality of Hal Holbrook, better known as Mark Twain. Handsome thirty-four-year-old Holbrook por- trays the wrinkled age and timeless humor of a Twain with whom we're all familiar. That's at the Riverside, Oct. 21 only! There will be comedy, drama and a bit of sophistication at the Pabst this year with plays such as The Visit, The Gazebo and Pleasure of His Company on the bill. A mark of distinction will be Archibald Mac- Leish's famed J. B. starring Basil Rathbone. This last is a must for veteran playgoers.

Tests Find Ullt Forty per cent of Pius seniors and sophomores and the entire freshman class took the Iowa Test of Educa- tional Development the week of October 5 through 9. Part of a Differential Aptitude test was given all students as in- coming freshmen. Freshmen took the rest of this test in late October. Being an aptitude test, it is de- signed to find potential talent while the Iowa tests determine how well these talents are being used. Referring to capacity for knowl- edge, Mr. Riegert, guidance director, summarized that the program tests size and to what degree it has been filled. The Iowa test administered was the same on each level. Comparison of an individual's test with his previous Iowa test measures educa- tional development. Rather than asking for names, dates and formulas, the Iowa tests cover a broad field of general knowl- edge in nine categories ranging from science to vocabulary to use of the dictionary. Results of the tests are repre- sented graphically for the student on a percentile basis. With this in- formation teachers will know in which areas the student progresses more rapidly and thus can better advise him on educational plans and problems. Future tests will include the Na- tional Merit Scholarship exams for juniors on March 8 and the place- ment test for incoming freshmen in February. r. F leege Russian Ed What can we learn from Russian education? The answer to this pro- vocative question has come from Dr. Urban H. Fleege, the chairman of education at De Paul University, Chicago. An authority on the sub- jects of education and adolescents, Dr. Fleege addressed the student body during a general assembly on November 3, in connection with Na- tional Education Week, November 8- 14. The background for his speech comes from a long history of experi- Vol. XXVI, No. 2 Pius XI High School Milwaukee, Wisconsin November 13, 1959 O BSIIVH a s, 1-13 Daily payloads, novel booths, new prizes, homeroom competition and hope of a free day open the annual fall festival in the Pius gym, Novem- ber 11.

In keeping with the over-all theme of the festival, getting into orbit, Mr. Gosling volunteered to orbit around the moon. On his re- turn trip, he will emerge from the rocket in full view of all at the dance. Spurred on by the hopes of win- ning a payload, students and home- rooms hurried to get in their quotas. All senior homerooms succeeded in reaching their quotas to date. On the junior level 313 was first. Home- room 417 reached their quota first on the sophomore level on Friday, Octo- ber 23.

That's the new question on which the varsity debaters are basing their pro's and con's for this year. The first debate tournament on this topic will take place on November 14 at West Bend. At least nine teams will represent Pius at this meet. Also on the debater's calendar for this year is a student congress to be held in the near future at Brook- field, Wisconsin.

Career Day Slated for 20th Pius upperclassmen will again have the opportunity to obtain valu- able information concerning their future careers on Career-College Day, Friday, November 20. Students will be able to choose speakers in fields ranging from ac- counting to X-ray technology. Be- sides these, an illustrated talk will be given on How to Get a Job, stressing the qualities employers generally look for when hiring new workers. According to students' requests, speakers will be obtained through the Kiwanis club of Milwaukee and from Catholic colleges, including Al- verno, Mount Mary and Marquette. Experts in their fields, the speak- ers will give over 100 talks, enabling each student to hear three or four lectures. The lecturers will show various aspects of college education, jobs or career possibilities and thus contribute their part in youth edu- cation. The benefit students receive from this will be largely dependent on their intellectual preparation for this important day. Sister Jacque- line, Pius Sodality moderator, feels that they will again prove helpful not only to the seniors but also to the juniors, who are participating in the day for the second year. Charm, Poise Charm Girls A personality guidance course for the senior girls, conducted by Mrs. Mercedes Chalmers, is currently be- ing held on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the girls' study periods. Consisting of 20 lectures, the course teaches poise, styling, make- up and social graces. The purpose of this course is, as Sister Hyacinth, girls' vice-princi- pal, says, to enable the girls to live more fully the life of a Christian girl, a charming Christian girl. Mrs. Chalmers is also a lecturer for Patricia Stevens school and the airlines.

Hold Assembly, Third rder Convocates Mission Club members and Third Order members have started the year off with assemblies and conventions during the last weeks of October. It's rather repugnant to speak about oneself, yet I feel I must tell you about the greatest threat to the Christian world - communism. So spoke Reverend Richard Greene, a Maryknoll missionary to China, who gave an explosive speech, Fri- day, October 23, to the student body of Pius. Pelagia Frost, Mission club presi- dent, introduced Father Greene, who related a story of his 15 years as a missionary to China and of the dan- gers of communism which he himself experienced. Speaking of his mission work, he stated that before the communists began to infiltrate China, more con- verts were being made every day. When the communists expelled Fa- ther from China, they left him with this thought, Within ten years we will take over. Wary of this, Father concluded his speech with this question: Shou1dn't we equal the zeal of the communists in their work and take our faith with us everywhere? No priest, bishop or pope can be who you are, where you are . . . your desk is an altarg everything you do there are little acts of love . . . our treatment of fellow man is indica- tive of our love of God . . . we must be that which inspires, that which leads. These are some thoughtful state- ments made during the Seventh Pro- vincial Convention of the Franciscan Third Order here in Milwaukee. Teens Talk Books What's your pleasure in books? Interests can vary from a spine- tingling story by Edgar Allen Poe to something a little more brain- tingling. All young people read books and some go a step farther to discuss a book on a weekly tele- vision program, Teens Talk Books. This Thursday evening panel dis- cussion appears at 6 p.m. over WMVS-TV fchannel 103 with four student panel members. The stu- dents are chosen at a preliminary discussion at the Central Youth Li- brary the preceding Monday at 7 p.m. Anyone who has read the book to be discussed and other books by the same author is invited to par- ticipate in this program. Teens Talk Books is one of the projects of the Central Youth Li- brary Council made up of represen- tatives from public, parochial and private high schools and junior high schools in Milwaukee county. Pius' representatives to the council this year are Patrick McGrath and Jim Murtaugh. v Attending the convention, h e 1 d October 23-25 at the Pfister hotel, were 14 Pius students and their mod- erators, Sister Adeleida, Sister Em- ma and Sister Therista. Douglas St. Martin, voting delegate, led a dis- cussion among the junior and inter- mediate fraternities entitled The Apostolate in the Family. The climax came at the Saturday evening banquet when Dr. John De Yonker, a Detroit psychiatrist, posed the question Are you a Catholic Catholic? and urged delegates to udeglamorize material philosophy, infiltrate with good and even lose friends if you must, but don't lose God. The Provincial Convention, occur- ring every three years, last met at Fort Wayne, Indiana. 4 Nov lo V' 5' Q Pia, LP' Kg L N rj, 1 9 E' 'C l 0 33 .7 of A.-liwaillh ... ,lllnailplii .

People are drifting from store to store on the avenue. Suddenly it turns cooler, the clouds fade to a darkened gray and the winds begin to howl. The rain dribbles down, splatters and then pours itself unmercifully on its victims. People scurry to find the nearest shelter. Some hustle to the closest bus and plunk themselves down hurriedly. A few scramble madly for their car keys which are hopelessly lost in the bottom of purses. Then, as if someone had performed a miracle, it stops. All is now back to the avenue routine. Mary Seidl 419 Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest On a close par with the Iron Mistress, the rack, the thumbscrew and the Chinese water torture comes the bunk bed. This space-saving convenience, developed during the Spanish-American War by the Navy for the Army, con- sists of two beds, one on the ground and the other several hundred feet above. There is usually a small wooden ladder that hooks onto the top bed. This handy object has small round rungs, also especially designed by the Navy for the Army. One of the advantages of the bunk bed reflects some- thing the United States government has been trying to do for some time: save space. Although the Navy claims the invention of the bunk bed, it was actually invented by a Russian named Mis- chuf. Mischuf was a crew worker in Siberia who was constantly looking for new Engels. One day as he was Lenin against his shovel, he saw a double-decker Hearst go by. This got him Stalin to think that maybe he could save space in the barracks. He thought and thought and finally came up with the bunk. After much red tape, it was patented. Now history Marx Chickeeta Mischuf as the inventor of a lot of bunk. Robert Jansen 306 Why the Blindfold on Justice? It happened in the land of milk and honey, in a year when the bees were on strike and the hot summer sun had all but evaporated the milk bottle. This was a year of sadness-the Dodgers had won the pennant, the Rus- sians had orbited the moon and my beer was warm. But all was not lost, for we still had the Senate Committee which had investigated racketeering in labor unions for two years, and racketeering in big business during two thirty-minute lunch breaks at the Copa Cabana as guests of John D. Rockefeller III, an average citizen. Now, after their long and equal study of both, they were to give their judgment on the evils in unions and in big business. The verdict of this impartial group, con- sisting of ten millionaires and an ex-plumber, was that wagon drivers' boss, Timmy Offa, who had stolen sixty- four cents from the Union's treasury to buy six dime cones and have a four-cent tip, should be shot at high noon and hanged from the capitol dome. Also they thought that Samuel Goldfinder, who so generously had given oriental rugs, vacations in Hawaii and small five-hundred dollar checks to various officials from the Bureau of Internal Revenue, should be slapped on the hands twice, and then awarded the Purple Heart for bravery. To this the readers of the poor Hearst family's papers shouted on cue, Bring in the lionsg let the city burng and play an encore with your fiddle, Senator McClellan. All these things have passed unnoticed by the lovely Justice, who-thanks to the charity of General Motors -was supplied with a mink blindfold for the duration of this investigation. Robert Weishan 207 Allegory on Always The trees are this day Frameworks That cease to work The pavement hard and Cool, alone Stands unchanged In the timeless Season's change.

Larry Lock 205 A World of Silent Motion Silently a dying leaf shivers on an ancient oak and fumbles to its death. A sudden Hit, and a young robin, edging through the monarching shadows, wings nearer. Defying little creatures of God are his prey. He pecks at, rejects and then steals these small bits of nature about him. Screeching, he dashes into the winds. Through the jarred blades of grass, spindles of weeds and pebble block- ades, a creature squirms. The snake lashes and tears the towering plants above him, and through a gully pressed by his weight, he vanishes. And still more silently the eve- ning shadows draw tight over the ancient world. Whirling in its might, a sun of golden luster illumines the earth once more. Gloom then enfolds the sphere, smothering its brilliance. Now all is motionless . . . it is evening. Sandra Stuller Sophomore Growth There is definitely a difference in being a sophomore. During the freshman year you were afraid to open your mouth lest someone laugh at you. Even walking down the halls became a frightening experience for you. You wanted to make friends and have buddies just like every- one else, but you just couldn't drive yourself to overcome This painting by Marsha Vander Heyden took an honorable mention in the Young People's Art Exhibit held at Capitol Court. the self-consciousness shadowing your confused mind. This led to being moody and clumsy, when you tried so painfully hard to be precise in your actions. Now what a difference! You speak up when you have to and fear nothing. Your mind is clear and ready to think hard when it is necessary. Friendliness is second nature and at last self-consciousness is overcome by straight thinking and cheerfulness. You not only change physically in the sophomore year but your mental attitude is the real mark of a sophomore. Dan Spore 422 Bearly Once upon a time in a huge green forest there lived a group of friendly, well-meaning deer. It seems that these deer were engaged in a constant dispute with a group of bears living on the opposite end of the forest over such matters as which group was stronger, who should rule the foxes, squirrels and other less important creatures in the forest, who invented wild berries. In order to lay the groundwork for a mutual admira- tion society, Big Buck No. 1 invited Big Bear No. 1 to visit his end of the forest. Big Bear accepted and came tramping in late one morning surrounded by a group of bears looking quite a bit like himself. These were among the few in his kingdom allowed traveling freedom. The entire deer kingdom headed by Big Buck was there to greet him. One of my bears has just climbed the highest tree in the forest, cried Big Bear. Is glorious! shouted the other bears. The deer stood in awe at this feat which none of them had ever accomplished. The Big Buck escorted Big Bear to all corners of the deer kingdom. The big-eyed bear kept muttering such things as Pooh! and We invented that! and Is glori- ous! He was rather poorly received by some of the deer who stood at the edge of the paths yelling, Boo! and Go back where you came from! and So's your old man. After this extremely beneficial tour of the kingdom, Big Buck and Big Bear sat down, smiled at each other and proceeded to agree that they were both strong, that both favored freedom for the lesser creatures and that it wasn't important who invented wild berries. Then they shook paws and Big Bear led his entourage into the woods, casually filling his claws as he left. Thomas Stockfisch 207 Freshman Fall-out The rake rasped slowly over the lawn, leaving one or two leaves in its wake. The strokes were short and tired now, as the rake drew the leaves nearer to the pile. A sudden gust of wind shook the last leaf free, and it slowly fluttered downward. The rake shot out to meet it, and the steel teeth were clamped down upon it. This leaf would be at the top of the pile, for it was the last leaf of autumn. Dan Stibor 118 Autumn-the days whine with dampness and near- cold. Dave Osman 404 A playful wind sweeps leaves through the air and hangs them on telephone wires. Lois Lenzen 510 The children piled the leaves into disheveled heaps of color and then with frenzied whoops dived into the piles, tumbling and falling on top of one another. Carol Schwartzhoff 118 The following are the freshman and sophomore winners in the contest open to underclassmen this month. The assignment was to describe vividly an action performed by someone who has enough skill to perform it with ease and joy. In future is- sues, pieces receiving honorable mention will be published. Golfing With My Father I Sophomore winnerl Some of the people for whom I hold the greatest re- spect are those who have mastered the game of golf. One such person is my own father. I never cease to enjoy watching him as he proudly and surely selects his club. He then cautiously approaches the ball and digs firmly into the green of the fairway with the stubby cleats of his shoes. His long, dark fingers slowly wrap themselves around the leathered grip of the club. As he addresses the ball, the woody head of the club swings threateningly toward the small white sphere which is seemingly awaiting the impact. All motion seems to cease temporarily as he raises the club on the back-swing: then a quick sweep of the club, a crack, and the ball is soaring through the air. A quick glance at my father's proud, beaming face convinces me that this, too, has been a good golf shot. John Potts 412 The Musician 1 Freshman winnerl He tensed, his fingers running up and down the keys of his saxophone, then stopped abruptly, as the M.C. pronounced his name, his signal to walk out on the spotlighted stage. As he confronted the M.C., a slight smile of nerv- ousness on his face, he was handed the sealed envelope containing the music for the sight-reading contest. Tearing open the envelope and pulling out the mu- sic, he studied the notes intensively for a moment. He placed the music on the stand, again noting the dips and climbs in the melody. Then his lips tightened around the mouthpieceg his tongue touched the reed, his fingers moving slowly at first, then faster as he blew into his instrument, seem- ing to bring it to life. The melody sang out clear and beautiful, staccato and smooth, loud and soft, dipping and climbing, linger- ing on the last note and then stopping. ' James Sadkovich 515 What do you consider to be excellence in your field? How would you go about achieving this? The question of achieving excel- lence in a certain field, particularly that of leadership, can be answered I think, in this foolproof Recipe for Excellence. 1. Recognize the need. 2. Develop a love for people. 3. Start from where you are. 4. Get your ideas across. 5. Practice what you preach. 6. Bring out the best in others. 7. Set big goals for yourself. 8. Watch your motivation. 9. Stick to principles. 10. Make sure you are right. 11. Take the initiative. 12. Make up your mind. 13. Learn by doing. 14. Take the unwanted jobs. 15. Win by losing. There it is. You try it! Chuck Burke 207 Excellence in football, or for that matter anything else you do in life, is accomplished only through hard work. Football, for example, requires daily practice. Only in this way can the necessary muscle tone and adeptness at the fundamentals be obtained. Ask any player how many times he had to practice throwing a block, or running a pass pattern be- fore he got to the point where it be- came a matter of habit. This is only a simple example, but it serves to illustrate the point that excellence in any field can be ob- tained only through hard work. Bart Thompson 207 A good debater is a ham, an ex- plorer of minds and most of all a self-confident individualist. He has the soul of a rebel and the fight of a trapped barracuda. His arms are logic, reason and a versatile vocabu- lary. With these, and some guts, he attempts to bring back the bacon, his opponent's hide, for old Pi Hi. Besides these basic requirements he also has to have a great desire to dog to learn something about everything and everything about some thingsg to give up Saturdays and sleeping in the morning. For this the reward is knowledge of our times and the confidence of being able to speak the king's own English effectively. Bob Weishan 207 Excellence in the field of music consists mainly in proficiency in singing or playing an instrument. However, a true musician would also know and understand the basis of music-theory, harmony and composition. As in anything else, the only way to achieve excellence is to work. A musician must spend many hours studying and practicing if he is to excel in his field. Marilyn Wojcik 321 I would say that FTA is actually a powerful tool in the struggle for excellence. If one is set on the teaching pro- fession, FTA offers excellent oppor- tunities. Poise, patience and a sin- cere interest in others are definite qualities necessary for this profes- sion and FTA is, you might say, the training grounds for future leaders. Carol Hass 215 If you wish to attain an under- standing of physic s and thus achieve a good mark, you must start at the beginning of the year by pushing yourself. It is absolutely necessary to learn the various for- mulas and to understand them. The understanding is of greatest impor- tance, for nothing can be applied if it isn't clear to the mind. Another important item is read- ing. You should read your book un- til the material is plain. You should also read magazine articles which might pertain to physics. If ever anything isn't clear, you must first seek the explanation, then attempt to go into advanced work. Bill Baumgart 207 Mathematics consists of accuracy, understanding and knowledge of algebraic formulas and geometric reasons. Accuracy takes practice through concentrating and clear thinking. Knowledge is acquired only through hard work which should begin in the freshman year. Karen Case 213 Excellence in the field of art con- sists in a combination of creative abilities in an individual. This in- dividual must have the basic skills at his fingertips, a knowledge of the language of art and an imagination. However, the ability to use these potentials is more important than the mere fact of possessing them. As in other fields, this excellence is achieved through experience, per- sistence and hard work. Marsha Vander Heyden 230 Excellence consists in the full de- velopment of personal potentialities. For a student this does not mean studies alone. It also means de- velopment of sound character and healthy social attitudes. To achieve this, a very controversial commodity is required - work. Fred Ludwig 216 Excellence in speaking consists in knowledge and delivery. One must have something worthwhile to say and say it in an interesting way. Knowledge is acquired through study and experience, delivery through instruction, practice and experiment. Tom Stockfisch 207 T ey S 6 Personalities Plus . . . Drive and Strive Will Win Her Goal Photo by Tom Tennies Carol Kopitzke, energy and drive. Weyauwega, a tiny town in north- ern Wisconsin, is seldom heard or talked about. But someday it may be on the lips of people all over the state, due to the talents and achieve- ments of one tiny, vivacious redhead who was born there and moved to Milwaukee 14 years ago, Carol Ko- pitzke. After a rather thorough science program at Lutheran high in Mil- waukee, the intellectually curious girl went on to another science course at Mt. Sinai and studied nursing: in the next few years she developed interests in s i n g i n g, drama and flying. Each of my interests is in itself a project. I believe one should not waste any talents: that's why I have hobbies. But to Carol Kopitzke, drama and music mean more than mere hobbiesg they are her avoca- tions. A great knowledge of the music world, nine years of piano, four years of voice and a singing debut at Kilbourn park this past summer indicate a foreshadowing for the so- prano in her favorite interest, sing- ing. Carol studied at the Wisconsin Conservatory under Lucy Kailer, who is now under contract to City Center in New York. Abbondanza is Carol's favorite selection. Bubbling with enthusi- asm, she said, It is the most mag- nificent piece of tenorism I've ever heard. The song is from The Most Happy Fella, a production which the Milwaukee Players are working at. The aspiring dramatist, a mem- ber of this group, is the understudy to the lead. A career in nursing takes up much of Carol's well-planned time. The private duty work varies among Mil- waukee, Mt. Sinai, Deaconness, and Children's hospitals. Flying high in more ways than one, she is also developing a hobby in flying. Taking lessons at Wauke- sha airport, the future pilotess, main aim is to enter the Powder Puff Derby. This tiny bomb of energy and drive has c e rt a i n ly planned a rounded and self-fulfilling life for herself. How does she find time? Her reply is All my interests work together. For instance, my music and arts are a balance for science. Janet Jacobchick Donit Blame Me Junior Dick Walz seems to be dreaming of writing a book. Dick was observed writing on the top of his pocket dictionary, By Dick Walz as told to . . . Senior Sue Jennerjohn bowled a 53 on opening day. This was good, considering that she fell down over 15 times. Jim Braun is an outcast of the junior class for announcing to the junior homerooms over the PA, At- tention, sophomores!

Neil Casey Pro readin Father Hueller has spurned the conventional means of discipline and has taken up lynching. As if hanging isn't bad enough in itself, Father also plays the part of the tree. Senior Dave Kozlik was a victim of an attempted hanging in religion class. To compensate for this abomina- ble act, Journal moderator, Sister Contardo, has turned detective. While looking through papers on which sophomores had written their hobbies, Sister came across a paper signed John R. Doe. Hobby: writ- ing on the dotted line. Sister traced the handwriting on the paper and found the culprit. However, because of journalistic ethics, Sister re- fused to release sophomore John Feyen's name. To help her English students re- call their early experiences, Sister Ruthelda passed out suckers to her class. John Flynn 7 Excellent Are You. Are you excellent? No, I don't mean, do you wear candy-stripe socks and pink suedes? I mean, do you ever excel in what you attempt? Do you really put yourself into anything you say, do or think? Do you really ever scratch the surface of your talent? Excellence is an individual goal, something which can be attained only by the person possessing his given talent, which may vary from virtuoso to ditch digger. If a man has the God-given talent to dig good ditches, he excels in his field over the virtuoso who wouldn't know the scoop end of a shovel from the handle. Thus the man who digs ditches is ex- cellent in as far as his talents allow. There are those who can try anything and be good at it, even excel in it. But from those who possess these numerous gifts, proportionate results are ex- pected, consequently more effort is required on the part of that multi-talented person. Has your betterment, your reaching toward ex- cellence been strengthened in the last month? Can you point to anything, just one thing, and honestly say that you have given everything you could to excel in that particular endeavor? If you can't, you have not fulfilled your personal obligation, first and above all, to a God who is very real and who will demand To Be .... Da-aa-a, I ain't so dumb. Dere's a lotta guys dumber dan me. Have you ever made this excuse? What's wrong with this, you ask? Sure, there are some people with lesser achievements than you, but there are many more who have surpassed you in their achievements. What is the purpose of reading, studying, observ- ing and conversing if not to find out where your tal- ents lie how to develop them to their fullest. This is not to copy but to cfreate. Comparison is one way of determining your prog- ress towards excellence. Comparing yourself with your friend the moron Cwho doesn't care about prog- ress because there is always someone dumber! de- feats the purpose of comparison. Rather, you must compare yourself with those who have attained ex- cellence in the specific field of your endeavor. Com- pare yourself with the Greats. By reading the lives, studying the works and an- alyzing the methods of such greats as Wright, Hem- mingway, Von Braun, Ruth and Hayes, you can see how you stand against true genius and also deter- mine your progress in excellence. Kathy Lennon the return, with interest, of every faculty He has furnished you with. Secondly, you have neglected your obligation to your fellow students. All should somehow share in the benefits of an individual's use of his talents. Excellence, then, may be summarized as the full- est exploitation of a talent. These talents may lie in innumerable fields and may be given, one or many, to the individual, to be developed by that individual. So if your head is swelling, why not justify it and try excelling. Larry Lock Are You Reall . Because you have a 95'Zn in Latin and are one of the wheels in your class, you think you are really an excellent kid, but are you? The high school student, successful in many fields such as athletics, music, art, science, literature, man- ual arts and scholastics, among others, has attained only a degree of personal excellence. Success in itself, however, does not constitute ex- cellence. Students and adults who have attained a certain excellence have been sincere in their efforts and have been consistent over a period of time. At times one may experience a lag in interest. For example, an aspiring young artist may lose in- terest in his art because of seemingly endless work without satisfying results. Taking time out to con- sider the merit and value of real art at this crucial point is of utmost importance. On the other hand, becoming discouraged because of impatience to suc- ceed is dangerous because impatience will deter one from achieving excellence 'in the best possible way. Some students have realized the value of hard work and have developed adult thinking processes and genuine attitudes of friendliness towards others. A final criterion of excellence is permanence, or the habit of performing a thing in a certain way. We simply have to choose our activities carefully and maintain a sincere interest in them, if we are to achieve excellence. Tom Check The Pius XI Journal Published eight times yearly by the students of Pius XI High School Milwaukee 13, Wisconsin 1955-59 All Catholic- Newspaper of Distinction Vol. XXVI, No. 2 - November 13, 1-959 Find Best Way To Better Ways What is the best way you can become better than just good? What better way to be best, than to be good and do better in the best way? About this time Charlie Chizzlebrain shakes his head and picks up his Mad magazine. But don't, Charlie, this is about you! If you're wondering why your talents are medi- ocre-not really bad, but not really good-here's the chance to find out. In order to be good in anything, you must have direction. But to you, confused Charlie, this means nothing. Direction can pull you up, out and on your way to excellence from that wall of mediocrity. Imagine that, Charlie, excellence! How, then, you say? Welcome criticism, talk to those who know some- thing about your talent, whether it's art, music, sports. Ask them questions, advice, guidance and evaluation. Also, keep in mind that your teachers here in school are very human and they're experts. They can offer valuable criticism and are only too happy to give it. Study men who are great in your field and analyze their qualities and techniques. Next analyze your talents Q see where you can improve, then improve. See, Charlie, you too can be excellent-with di- rection, of course. Now put down that Mad maga- zine and go to it! Janet Jacobchick Pat Hoff 1 fi il. Retire at 3 P In a recent questionnaire from the guidance de- partment, the beginning questions were 1. What kind of work would you most like to do if you have the opportunity and ability? 2. What kind of work do you really expect to be doing? If the results of this year's tests are the same as last year's, I am afraid that many of us had better take a realistic look at our future and at our talents. According to the questionnaire, about half the male populace at Pius are going to be either pilots or engineers. The females lean toward the ever-popular secretary, nurse and airline stewardness. Although these occupations all render a valuable service to mankind, our motives in striving for these accepted occupations often do not coincide with our real tal- ents. Many of us are undecided about what we want to dog therefore we panic and grasp for the first oc- cupations with security or adventure. After we perform a job for a while, however, monotony sets in. There must be something to keep us going on our jobs when the surface glitter has worn off. Charlie White has a way with peopleg he can make himself understood. Charlie would make a good teacher, yet he may be attracted to engineering because of the money. Although security is a nice idea, after about ten years security can get pretty boringg but if we have a certain pride in our job, we will have taken a step toward fulfilling ourselves in life. Another point brought out by the questionnaire was the contrast between the ideas of what a student will be and what a student would really like to be. The words of Ernest Hemmingway suggest an ade- quate remedy for these people who lack confidence in their talents, Don't anticipate failure. If you an- ticipate failure you'll have it. Take command of your f6afsi. Patrick Mcsrath 6 ' . I'-AHSM wwe: Huron: il' These girls cheer. These girls are leaders.

Popes Take Second, Win Streak Snapp d Since the advent of Al Elger as head coach here at Pius, there is one thing that his gridders have experi- enced infrequently: defeat. It hap- pened, however, at the hands of Mar- quette, snapping the Popes' win streak at 16 games. 14 in a Row On October 4 Don Bosco played host to Pius at South stadium. Carl Gee put the Popes on the scoreboard early in the first quarter with an 18- yard end sweep. Red flags prevented the Popes from chalking up two tal- lies. Gee took a lateral from Gron- inger and raced 65 yards for a would- be touchdown, but a discrepancy on the play nullified his effort. A few plays later a Don Bosco back found Jack Wucker's punt too hot to handle. Ted Corona scooped it up and scam- pered into the end zone, but the offi- cials ruled that he stepped out of bounds. Undaunted, the Golds came back with Jim Hamill plunging off tackle for the score. The speed of Carl Gee proved too much for the Dons as he broke through their defense in the third quarter for a six-point play which covered 64 yards. State Cath- olic sprint champion Bob Heller, who has been hampered by an ankle in- jury, burst off tackle, leaving the de- fensive men in his dust. The Dons managed to grind out one T.D. to make the final score 27-7. 15 in a Row Pius' first outing of the year on their home field proved beneficial as they thoroughly trounced Waukesha Memorial 32-6. Jim Hamill was high scorer for the game with two T.D.'s on a 74-yard punt return and a fourth quarter jaunt. Carl Gee, Dick Olson and Ron Dentinger rounded out the remainder of the scoring. 16 in a Row Taking advantage of Cathedral fumbles, the West Siders jumped off to a 19-0 lead in the first half. The first of three fumbles was re- covered by Ted Corona on the Cathe- dral 22-yard line. He carried it over five plays later. Jim Hamill racked up the next two tallies on a 19-yard run end run and a 20-yard pass from quarterback Bross. Bross connected with Carl Gee early in the third quar- ter for the fourth tally of the game. Gee climaxed a Popes' scoring drive with a 24-yard sprint to pay dirt. The Eagles failed to score, thus mak- ing the final total 31-0. Snapped Two intercepted passes early in the game and a faulty pass defense led to Pius' downfall by Marquette, 26-12. CTwenty of Marquette's 26 points were scored in the first half.D The Golds were a much-improved ball club in the second half but, due to the condition of the field, the backs couldn't get running room. Bross managed to direct the Golds to a pair of T.D.'s. He passed to Coro- na to put the Popes on the score- board, the play covering 64 yards. Blanchard recovered a fumble in the closing minutes. This set up Pius' second touchdown. Gee had the scor- ing honors. Denouement Showing the tremendous spirit that has made this ball club one of the best in Pius' history, the Popes wallowed all over St. Catherine's, 15- 2. Once again the Hamill-Gee com- bination provided the scoring punchg but Bob Heller was the back of the day, grinding out consistent yardage. An oddity in any football game is a safety, but in this contest each side had one. Ron Dentinger forced St. Kate's quarterback to fumble in the end z o n e, setting up the Gold's safety, and Bob Heller's fumble was responsible for the Angel's lone two points. On the last play of the game, center George Blanchard carried the ball 30 yards on the G-C play. Coach Elger commented, This is the best team l've ever coached- good spirit, cooperation, and the will- ingness to get back up after they'Ve been knocked down. Patrick McGrath Win, Lose or Draw If the four returning lettermen - Milner, Neitzel, Nothem and Gee- come through this year, the Pius basketball team could cause some problems around the conference. Mac mentioned four sophomores up from the B team that could help the c 1 u b: Mufller, Keely, Welter and Theisen. With the potential rebounding power of the upcoming sophomores and the speed of the seniors, it seems very likely that Mac will use a fast break. CShades of M.U.J Pius will open in its first confer- ence game against St. Catherine, last year's Catholic State champions, who are a solid choice to repeat again this year. Coach Basile's boys show true form and reason for a fine season. 14' Pl :ii ' 'e snr 3 g .. - g , s i , tiff- ,A A Tim Groh gets some running room against Don Bosco. Sports Sidelines The B-team fought to a good start in their first game by beating Thiensville Mequon 6-0. But in their second g ame, against Marquette, their spark didn't show. They took defeat 18-0. Mr. Miller, B-team coach, described Marquette as big and tough. He also said, This game showed the boys that they had a lot to learn. Washington's sec- ond and third string varsity was the next team they faced. Washington also threw defeat at them 19-0. The JV's have no regular sched- ule. Their main job is to help de- velop the varsity and is composed almost entirely of sophomores. Play- ers who have been outstanding thus far are, in the backfield, Joe Tesch and Gerry Leverenzg in the line, Pete Dineen, Fred Haas, Dennis Le Claire and, at end, John Lagowski. Sophomore Mary Shong has an un- usual hobby for a girl. In a recent survey of the sophomore class, she stated that her hobby was a baseball collection. This collection turned out to include Scrapbooks, maga- zines, pennants, pictures, auto- graphs, newspaper articles, score- cards, record books and innumerable other things. Mary commented on her interest by saying, Girls, too, can be excellent sports fans. Why not? Have you been wondering what that thumping is you've been hear- ing on the third floor after classes. Wander up to the fourth floor, old wing, wait for the corridor to clear and peek in the window of the girls' gym. Ah, the villain, the trampo- line has been hauled out from stor- age to take another year of pound- ing from bouncin' Betsies. Girls ap- plied for trampoline lessons enthu- siastically. Shouts of I never had so much fun are heard around the school. These lessons alternate with girls' volleyball on four days of the week. Junior Mary Staley has organized a volleyball team and entered the City Volleyball league. Her team will compete with other Catholic high schools in the city. Neil Casey Red Groninger is another reason for the Popes' fine season. 15 The Lighter Side What sport, in which the whole school participates, falls between football and basketball season? Why, the Fall Festival, of course. Here's how the game is played. Upon entering the gym, you make the first error for your side: having your coat checked. It seems that to insure your coat against any type of danger Churricane, earthquake, etc.D, you must forfeit a small donation. You chalk all this up to experience, commend Sister Ligouri on her strategy and saunter into the gym proper, where a great scrimmage is taking place. You are smothered by the tremen- dous onslaught of the fans. After a while, however, you catch on to the game and begin a little offensive play yourself. As in every sport, there is a crew of umpires and ref- erees. Heading this squad is Mr. McMahon, who makes such decisions as whom do we eject from the premises. Rounding out the staff of officials are Mr. Grover, Mr. Kaus, Mr. Riegert, Mr. VanGilder and Mr. Whalen. These men call the plays and give directions for wallet- unloading in the charity game. This annual intramural sport matches the student against the in- stitution. Any individual who sur- vives the outing with a full pocket- book, however, just isn't a member of the team. As one sports celebrity puts it, If you can't play a sport, be a sport. Put a coke up on the bar, Tony, I'll be there in just 10 min- utes. Pat McGrath Press Picks Red Groninger, this m o n t h ' s choice for Press Picks, also had the honor of being elected Homecoming king by this year's football team. Red has two other distinctions on the team. He is the only senior with red hair and he has by far the dirtiest practice uniform. One other thing: next time you see Red, ques- tion him about the sore on his nose. This scab has been there since the first day of football. When your reporter questioned him on it, he replied, Bleeding impresses the coaches. Any time I feel I should impress the coach, I irritate the SOI'e.

Kathy Niles -the Vol. XXVI, No. 3 Pius XI High School Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 15, 1959 ollector G'ves Rouault Print Because of the zeal and generosity of Leonard Scheller to acquaint peo- ple with the genius of Georges Rou- ault, Pius XI high school has been made the recipient of a lithograph print of the famous French painter. The lithograph is one of a series en- titled Misery and War. Comprised of 58 prints, the entire series has as its prime and persistent objective to lay bare not man's inhumanity to God but man's inhumanity to him- self. When Mr. Scheller distributes the works of Rouault to institutions, it is usually with the one stipulation that the print be hung in a conspicuous place where all can enlarge themselves aesthetically by the message it car- ries. Circumstances Were Unusual The way in which the school came into possession of the Rouault print was somewhat unusual. Sister Ire- nita, of the Pius art department, was examining a book of the prints at the Cardijn center when Mr. Scheller ap- proached her, asking if she were in- terested in the works of Rouault. Hearing that Sister was, he remarked that he was also an admirer of the painter and of his Miserere series in particular. Scheller, who works for the Milwaukee Jourmil, invited Sister to see his series and also to select one of the lithographs for the school. The art instructor readily ac- cepted and finally settled on the print entitled De Profundisf' Portrayal Is the Man One critic has said that where others have stopped Rouault has con- tinued to the point where he lays bare the cruciiied Christ within each heart. Critics have also confirmed that the twentieth century can make no offering to compare with the depth and scope of conception and the ex- pression of that conception in his work. Previously, Mr. Scheller has do- nated prints to Alverno college, Mil- waukee, and to a number of other col- leges. Through his brother, a Jesuit at St. Louis university, he donated a completed series to that institution. Pius is the first high school to ac- quire a print through Mr. Scheller. The prints range in value from S100 to S400. Pius Presents Catholic Colleges Catholic College Night is to enable parents to acquaint themselves with Catholic colleges, since they usually pay the bills. This is the reason, said Mr. Riegert, head of the guid- ance department of Pius, for present- ing a Catholic College Night. Wednesday night, January 13, has been set aside in order to give par- ents of the junior and senior classes the opportunity to meet with repre- sentatives of 13 Catholic colleges in the Midwestern area. Seven-thirty p.m. is slated as the starting time. Raymond Otis, Ad- missions Oftice Counselor of Mar- quette university, will open the ses- sions with a short speech on the val- ues of a Catholic College. The parents and students will then be able to meet with individual repre- sentatives of the colleges in three periods, each twenty minutes in length. These representatives will be able to answer any questions the parents might have. Mr. Riegert feels the parents would be interested in know- ing firsthand information concerning tuition, fees and other matters. QContinued on page 2, col. 21 It was a notable day, the day I met Mr. Scheller at Cardijn, Sister Irenita remarked. It will be a greater day when the picture is framed and hanging on a wall of Pius XI high school. Rouault's De Prof undis 1 l Photo by Tom Tennies Thinking are junior Joe Major and senior Marilyn Vogt. This battle of wits was displayed in the nationwide Future Engineers of America Tournament. Mar- ilyn ranked first in the school. Divine Savior high school will be the scene of the first Forensics tour- nament, December 19. Pius will be represented in all divisions: humor- ous, dramatic, original, non-original and extemporaneous. Two alumnae, Joan Caspary and Barbara Iller '57, will speak to the Future Nurses' club in the near fu- ture. Both girls were in the club while at Pius. Nine juniors will participate in the Catholic Students' Better Government Council, held every third Thursday of the month. Introducing Christian ideals into government is the purpose of this group. The juniors are Carol Betker, Mary Ellen Burke, Joanne Cavanaugh, Kathie Conway, John Fanning, Marilyn Greguska, Don Klug, Lynn Meinerz and Mary Staley. During the school day and after school, confessions are heard in the chapel by Fathers Lepore, Zimmer and Miller. IN MEMORIAM Sister of Sister Reginia Father of Joanne Batzko Brother of Todd and Kim Baumann Father of Alan Obenberger Pionites Place In ationwide Tes Five Pius students survived the local elimination test of the Future Engineers of America Tournament. This places seniors Marilyn Vogt and James Himmelspach, sophomore Mary Kennedy, and freshmen Allan Ristow and Carol Klein in the top ten per cent of their respective classes na- tionally and made them eligible for the national finals held November 27, 1959, at the Conrad Hilton hotel, Chicago. An instruction book was given to the 25 participants two weeks before the local test. This book contained sample problems to work and recom- mended procedures. If studied and Pupils Launch U. N. Probe Learning all that there is to know about the United Nations is the ob- jective of 40 sophomore and junior history students. This special group, moderated by Sister Theodine, is preparing for a competitive United Nations exam. Selected in February from the group now studying, two pupils will take the countrywide United Nations exam to be administered on March 3. First prize in the national contest is S500 or a trip to Europe. Second place is S200 or a trip to Mexico. In addition, there are other monetary prizes. fContinued from page 1, col. 33 This, he feels, will give parents an opportunity to discover these things. Colleges to be represented include Clarke college, Dubuque, Iowa, St. John's university, Collegeville, Min- nesotag College of St. Scholastica, Duluth. Also represented will be Al- verno, Mount Mary, Marquette, Car- dinal Stritch, St. Norbert CDe Perej, Edgewood college CMadisonJ, college of St. Thomas CMinnesotaD, St. Mary's college CXavier, Kansasj, St. Ambrose college CDavenport, Iowab and Loras college CDubuqueJ. 2 understood thoroughly, this book ne- gated the advantage of the upper- classmen, with more years of math behind them. Although a senior, Marilyn Vogt, won first place in the overall school standings, Mary Ken- nedy, a sophomore, placed second and Allan Ristow, a freshman, won third place. Mary Kennedy, James Himmels- pach and Carol Klein studied regu- larly and progressively. Allan Ristow studied the book every night after school with a friend. Marilyn Vogt said that she set the book down and then crammed the last two days be- fore the test. James Himmelspach said, I was quite surprised to find that I had won, and I really took this test not to gain the award, but to gain a little experience. Tests are used exten- sively today--college, job applica- tions. If you take a lot of tests, you gain experience to meet more tests with better results. h Four of the five-Marilyn Vogt, Mary Kennedy, Allan Ristow and Carol Klein-went to the national contest in Chicago. All of them are giving more or less serious consideration to engineering as a career. Debate Wins Six West Bend high school was the scene of the debate tournament, No- vember 14, in which Pius' Team A won all six debates. This team in- cludes on the affirmative Tom Stock- iish and Jim Murtaugh and on the negative Tom Check and Bob Weis- han. At the Sheboygan Central Tourna- ment, November 11, the A Team con- sisting of Jim Murtaugh, Bob Komar, Tom Check and Bob Weishan won four out of six debates. Eight teams from Pius participated in this tour- nament and won 70 per cent of all the debates. Tournaments staged on November 27 and December 5, 11 and 12 also proved favorable. The December 5 tournament, sponsored by the Mid- west Catholic Speech League, was held in Evanston, Illinois.

Invited by Sigma Delta Chi, a na- tional professional journalism frater- nity, they listened to Marquette uni- versity's College of Journalism fac- ulty experts evaluate the Journal. The aim of the day was to outline the communications field through lec- tures by prominent speakers: Arville Schabban, managing editor of the Milwaukee Jour'n.al,' J. L.

Communications displays and other literature were also available for stu- dent appraisal. urvey Sees Mass Need Results of a recent survey taken by the junior boys' sodality showed that out of 350 students who arrive at Pius by 7:30 a.m., about 25 partici- pate in Mass. Since the survey a Mass campaign began on the junior level. Junior moderator, Father Lepore, commented that the purpose of the campaign was to bring about weekly attendance at Mass. Between the ages of 13 and 18, teens sure need the sacra- ments, he said. ij: W-.

Pius' orches- tra, select chorus, Choral Readers and ballet will interpret the five meanings through their performances. In trying to define Christmas, the Choral Readers find that there is considerable confusion about the meaning of this simple word so we've made our own defining, call- ing Christmas a song, a dance, a cry, a word and the Child. Each phase will be introduced and narrated by the Choral Readers. In the song the orchestra and chorus will perform with numbers such as Deck the Halls, O Holy Night, The Great Gate of Kiev and Yule- tide Festival. The senior girls in select chorus will do a special rendi- tion of Santa Claus Is Coming to Town while eight ballet students dance to this number. The Night Before Christmas will be sung by the entire chorus. Senior toe dancer Joan Leising is featured in Scheherezade as part of Christmas is a dance. The last three meanings will be represented in a triptych. The first section is a cry, referring to the prophecies. Next is the word, or fiat, which refers to the Annunciation. Finally, the Child, which is the Nativ- ity itself. In this, the largest section of the triptych, the Choral Readers portray the manger scene. F rosh Assembl To give freshmen practice in public speaking and to make them aware of talented people in their own class, freshman teachers and students have originated a weekly informative level assembly. The assemblies are held every Wednesday and are educational be- cause, as one of the freshman teach- ers commented, the freshmen might get the idea that all assemblies put on by the students are only for fun. These assemblies prove that some- thing can be learned from them. Some of the subjects covered these past weeks have been the Bible, Pope 3 John XXIII on the anniversary of his coronation, the Student Council and the Advent liturgy. The Lenten and Easter liturgies are future topics. Also in the future, assemblies are planned on Y.C.S. and the Journal. Various departments, such as the freshman history, mathematics and English departments, will also pre- sent assemblies. Although organization of a series of freshman assemblies to cover simi- lar topics began last year, it was not on a regular weekly schedule as it is this year.

Bankermaker, esq., at a bored of Christ- mas sales meeting, on January 2, of the Moneymaking Ideas for Fat Profits, Co., Inc. Mr. Bankermaker is chairman of the bored. Gentelmen, I shall at this time, after our almost successful Christmas last week, outline our plans for next Christmas. We will start our count down of shop- ping days left till Christmas next week on January 7. We will force shoppers to spend their money on the fol- lowing 352 days till next Payola day. nuh! nuh! nuh! We'll rake it in like mad. Humbug with campaigns try- ing to down pre-season Christmas. All year is Christ- mas for us. My brainiest idea is a solid gold Ccopper, actually! Christmas tree, draped with pink, purple, white, yellow and chrome tinsel, that revolves and lights up for 526597. The snobs'll really dig that. nuh! nuh! Now for the kiddies. We'll string'em. I have an idea for a toy projector that shows two movies, 'The True Meaning of Christmas' and 'How Can I Encourage My Daddy to Spend More at Christmas.' Brilliant ideas, I must admit. I have also made a contract with 14 rock 'n roll singers to sing revised Christmas carols with a 30-piece swinging band backing them up. That'll sell a couple million for sure. At 407, . . . nuh! Now, you bunch of merry fellows, we'll make mil- lions. With 352 days of Christmas spending spirit and all those geniusical ideas, we'll clean up all the spirit available for spending. Thank you, my dear cohorts, and a very profitable Christmas to you. Richard Block 430 wi ewzza Why Not? Did you ever wonder why Christmas is celebrated on December 25? I mean, why that day. I think there are a lot of better days that all these presents could be given away. Not to lose the spirit of Christmas, but why can't these presents be given away during summer. That's all you get for Christmas, anyway, gifts you can use during the warm season. Why did Christ have to be born on a winter day. He knows I don't like cold weather. And to top it all, three jokers who called'them- selves kings had to give Him presents. Sure, maybe they didn't know they would start a tradition, but why didn't they come on a nice warm sunny afternoon. Getting back to my original point, I think Christmas should be celebrated on May 29. Now there's a day to give away gifts. It's usually not too warm and especially not too cold. Yes, sir, that's the day to celebrate Christmas. I- 'I' 'I' This article was written by that famous author, Rob- ert Mazurek, a well-known holiday hater.

NO- 3 December 15, 1959 The problems seen by the students at Pius today seem to evidence the mentality of the generation. While some problems discussed are of an obviously trivial nature, such as changing the calendar and eliminating the cranberry problem, many are real problems in modern society. The crux to this discussion, how- ever, is that these problems are ef- fects and not causes of evil. For ex- ample, communism is a result of in- difference on the part of the ma- jority, and strength on the part of an informed, motivated minority. These problems will cease to exist only when each of us, aware of him- self, looks to himself for an answer and establishes a sound realization of and response to these problems. Comments on the They Say page, and the editorial page are always welcome and encouraged as an ex- change of ideas. Send letters to Tom Check in 216 or to 117. T ey Say... Economics If I had the power, I would im- prove on the world economic condi- tion and improve working standards. I would cut out all the different unions and have only one group of leaders. I would fix a standard value of money so that it would not de- crease in value. I would fix a stand- ard and fair wage which would be the minimum. Voting I would change the attitude of the people towards voting. So much de- pends on the way the people in our country vote, yet at each election there are many who do not vote at all. Some of those who do go to the If it were in your power, what condition in the world would you change? Confusion I would like in each being, a self- awareness that is as complete as one can attain and the actions of men to follow accordingly. Also, a posi- tive answer to Emily's question in Our Town, Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it, every, every minute? Understanding Of all the conditions in the world the first one I would change is un- derstanding. People today don't take time to understand, they just act. If every single person in this world had a true and real apprehen- sion, who would do something wrong? What would be left to do wrong? Communism Right now, the biggest threat to the world is Communism. Since the Russian and Chinese Bosses have the people of these countries in such a want and desire for Communism with their mass psychology, it would be no easy job to change their way of life. However, once we have those people convinced that Communism and hatred for their fellow man is wrong, this would be a much better world to live in. polls to vote know nothing about the characters, ideas and principles of the men running for ofiice. Every election is important, even a small office in the city. I would like to have more people vote and know the candidates before voting. Commandments If I had the power, I would make everyone live a life according to the ten commandments. This W o u ld eliminate the evils of the world. Ourselves We are Catholics and we go to a Catholic school. What else do you want? Wow! Does this make us some kind of saints? Not by a long shot. How many of us say our pray- ers, obey our parents, do our own as- signments. I know it's none of my business and nobody else's. It is your business and God's. So wise up, kids. Before we can even attempt to conquer or change the problem of the world we'll have to conquer our- selves first. Slums Often citizens of the United States pity the poor unfortunate people of Europe and other foreign countries, but they think nothing of their fel- low citizens who are living under 6 terrible conditions in our own coun- try. The crime rate is especially high in these areas because of the undesirable environment in which the children are forced to develop. Schools in this area are often inade- quate and recreation facilities are very poor. This sort of condition breeds juvenile delinquency.

From ignorance c o m e s prejudice, hate, pride and many other evils. A true understanding of life would make us see ourselves and our faults in a true light. Individuality I would have each person in the world come to a realization of his po- tentials and his worth as an individ- ual. I would have each person fulfill his destiny as an individual living in a society of individuals, by de- veloping himself, his private person, to the utmost. Personalities Plus . . . From High School Reporter to News Director Durante has nothing on Bernhardt. So implied newsman Van Calligan when referring to WEMP News Di- rector Gene Bernhardt as having a nose for news. Mr. Bernhardt has been sniffing out the news since his work on the news- paper staff at St. Catherine's, Racine. Even while he was one of the 14 mil- lion men thinking of getting out of the army during World War II, he played the roving reporter for a bar- racks newspaper. Later, taking advantage of the G.I. bill, he followed a three-year acceler- ated course in journalism at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin, Madison. After working on several small newspapers, he landed in radio with WEMP. At present, Mr. Bernhardt's job in- volves a certain amount of public re- lations, correspondence, and budget- ing of the news for the day. Basi- cally he must supervise the news de- partment in the gathering, writing and editing of the news. Of the beats to be tended to in daily coverage, he finds the Safety building most in- triguing. His off beat interests provide as much variety as his career. Tschai- kowsky and Berrigan, Gunsmoke and Edward R.

Really, Paul, I don't think the fish tank is quite that big. Bids aren't bought only for proms. Don Ostrowski, a little bank in hand, was collecting money for Mission club in his homeroom. Stopping at Ann Otis' desk he asked if she were going to donate. Her answer, If I do, will you go to Sadie Hawkins dance with me? How's that for a direct approach? At least one Pius student has his time well planned. In the dim, dim hours of morning, to be exact 7:30, he was seen reading in the light of a school telephone booth. Get your book finished, Don Klug? Janet Jacobchick of World War II: these contrasting interests fill in his time and fill out his personality, congenial and pleas- ant as it is. From the people with whom he works might be extracted such de- scriptions as can smell a news story a mile away and easy to get along with. The latter is commendable, considering the adaptability required of both him and his family. CHe has a wife and two children, Kim, 4, and Ricky, 1V-2.5 Although his normal work hours are 9:30 to 5:00, he is subject to call if something of im- portance demands his presence. Also, his private car is rigged for broad- casting. Speaking from experience, Mr. Bernhardt feels that there is no propaganda in actual news broadcast- ing, outside of editorials which are specifically labeled as such. Whether or not this is due to the speed of broadcasting and the new interpretative task of newspaper journalism, he isn't ready to write 30 in either of these mass media just yet.

That's pretty good. What do you do over the weekend? Spend that S15.00? And what do you make the next week and what do you do with that S15.00, and what do you do with the next weekend? Spend it? What year is your car? A '51 Chevy? How fast will it go? 70, 80? Where did you go in your car last night? To the drive-in? You spent 52.00 of your week. How about Friday night. Sure, there's the CYO dance at St. Michael's, the skating party at McCarthy or may- be if you get hard up you can see a show. There's only one flaw in your week. Next week you won't remember last week and the next week you won't remember this week. Why? You can answer that question if you're hon- est with yourself. What matters to you? The mileage on your Chevy, your grades, your popu- larity, your job, how you spend your money, your girl friend, your boy friends, your home, your family, your religion. None of these things make any diiference at all if YOU don't matter to you. Nothing can make you happy if you don't matter to yourself. If your being does not matter to you, tomorrow will be today, and today will become a yesterday and you will still not be happy. There is a day, perhaps tomorrow, when you will know that today will become a yes- terday, but tomorrow will never come. We call this knowing, death. To some, this is fearful. But Why? When you think of death, do you visualize yourself in a coffin with your relatives walking about you saying how good you look and what a real nice job the mortician did on that face of yours. Maybe you see yourself, inside a smooth, felt-lined casket, in the dead of winter, being lowered into a small, frozen hole. The only misconception you're guilty of here is that you're fearing a physical experience when, once past the point of death, the physical falls away and that which is not tangible, the mind, either enjoys or hates for all eternity. This brings you to the purpose of this editorial, you being as an eternal being, as an entity, a beginning without an end. That mind which puts the choice of a hot or cold lunch before your will is the same mind with which you will face your death and with which you will exist in eternity. That mind is the same and only mind which will either acclaim itself worthy of eternity in happiness or condemn itself to the most damnable fate of the mind, eternal self-hatred. 3 N, l when you think . . . This failure to realize yourself isyoar greatest failing. And because of this failing you are what you are -- a coward, afraid to be heard saying something your nice little group of friends doesn't agree with, some- thing they know is the right thing, but which has to be beaten down until it is no longer recognizable because they know they would have to change their actions to suit their decisions if they let you spout an idea which was the 'right idea. This has been going on since man came into being. The Jews crucified Jesus Christ because they knew Him to be right but because they also knew they'd have to change their actions to suit the decisions they would have to make if they had not murdered Him. People will also resent you and hate you as Christ somewhere promised they would. lf you don't think so, try telling people what you think is right regardless of what they want to believe is right. But since you are the only one who can shape your life, what does it matter what someone you know to be wrong thinks? It comes down to this: is to associate with and help others. This strikes you as having a loophole? You'll always be giving and never really getting anywhere. But it doesn't work that way. The more you give of you the larger you become as a human being. You cannot be among people sharing and not growing as a personal being, as an entity in yourself. This brings us back to the purpose of this editorial: you, realizing your being, forever now, you being, in the image of God, you being, in the fulness of sharing the nature of God, you being, in relation to your fellow beings. At present you are failing to suppress communismg rather it has been successful in suppressing your counterparts throughout the world. Even more immediate than our building up atomic stockpiles is the need to fortify from within, for a nation without conviction of its own rightness in what it has to offer man is hopelessly lost against a nation that has both equal Cor superior! military strength and a definite idealogical goal. This is the enemy we face. And when you come right down to it, the decision for the nation rests with you. By this time you have resolved yourself into one of three categories: first, the person who hasn't even gotten this far because he doesn't give a darn about anything as long as he isn't hurtg and if he is, he's the first to squawk about civil rights and individual privileges and Why haven't they done something about this? - second, the simple-john who never bothers to read a newspaper but nevertheless feels qualified to say that the United States will triumph because it has high ideals and because everyone in the satellite countries is going to revolt or some such rubbish - third, there's the guy who says, yes, I know we're in a tight spot, but what can I do about it? I'm only one guy. You say What can I do? I answer with another question. What have you been doing in the past that keeps you from realizing yourself as a separate being who must conduct himself according to the dictates of his inner self regardless of what anyone else may say? The fact that you are the only one does not lessen the validity of your action. And if each you begins acting on his own thinking Cas he continues to test and enlarge his thinking against truthj we will have taken the first step. And once you have begun, what is to stop you or what does it matter' what anyone says to oppose you? And who has seen to it that it is within your power to see and to accomplish this fulfillment? A man who is a man and yet God. Your sharing in the Incarnation is the renewed align- ment with the Supreme Being. The Incarnation will be complete only when each man has had the opportunity to share in it. The Incarnation and Redemption are perfect means of our fulfillment, but again it is your part to decide to share in the Incarnation or to neglect It. Okay, why did God go through all this only to save humans like you? The only reason is His eternal Divine Love, the only reason you are at all. Q, Realizing your purpose and the means to gain it is what philosophers land prophetsj have been philosophizing on for the past many years. Your only and constant occupation must be a progres- sion toward this goal. This progression can come only after real reflection and serious consideration on the purpose of your being. Then, conversation is the best way of communicating your realizations and of enlarging them. fl . . . than you must act Finally, after you have come to some resolution of principles, you must then act on them and never allow yourself to be dissuaded from the course of action your reflection demands. I could wish you a merry Christmas but I would much prefer 'you have a thoughtful one. L. L. Sorting medicine for the Mission club drive are Donna Price, Dianne Searing and Jim 0'Melia.

Who cares if you lose, as long as it's for free. Golds Make All-Catholic With the season over and the dust cleared away, Pius placed six boys on the All-Catholic teams. On the Senti- nel All-Catholic team, the Popes mak- ing the first team were Ron Den- tinger at tackle, George Blanchard at center and Carl Gee as one of the backfield. Ted Corona and Jim Ham- ill were chosen for the second team. Old Stars On the Journal All-Catholic team Ron Dentinger and George Blanchard were again chosen to the first string team. Jim Hamill moved up a notch to the first team, representing the Popes in the backfield. Tom Wilde was chosen as guard for the second team and Carl Gee, the league's leading scorer, was chosen for the backfield. Placing second in the conference and third in the state, this year's team gained just a little under a mile on the ground. New Linemen' The question asked is what is in store for the Popes next year. First of all, the line, under the eyes of Coach Basile, should prove to be one of the biggest in the conference. If 200-pound John Shanahan can equal his '59 output, he should be one of the best in the business. Another big boy, Dick Fischer C6'2 , 215 poundsj should also prove tough to stop. Mike Dineen C165 poundsj is one of the best defensive players on the team. If Jim Braun can double his perform- ance of this previous season, he may be capable of filling in for George Putting a great deal of emphasis Blanchard. New Backs The backs under Coach Elger are also experienced. Jimmy Hamill proved himself this year and there should be no stopping him next year. Dick Olson should prove a capable running mate for Jim. Jim Jaeger, able to throw a football a mile, should also be great once he experiences running a team. Coach Elger has his eyes on Bill Berkopec, a fine end, and Pete Dineen, who made a successful switch from tackle to end. Both are sophomores this year. Jim Braun Photo by Leon Ploszaj The seniors who will have to carry the load this season are, from left to right, Carl Gee, Gene Milner, Lee CBite-the-lipj Neitzel, Jim Nothem, Erwin Robinson and John Messer. Piu Cage Future- . Before the season started, the ex- perts said that Pius high school's basketball team would be one of the cellar dwellers of the league. After five games the outcome of the Popes' cage season is as hazy as it was when the season started. Pius took on Wisconsin Rapids' Assumption in their non-conference opener, and it looked as if experts were right as the Popes went down to defeat 55-35. Lee Neitzel man- aged to come up with 13 points in the losing effort. Pius fortunes took a turn for the better the next week as they squeaked by Juneau 52-46. Gene Mil- ner captured high point honors with 15 points, 11 of them on free throws. West Allis Central was the next vic- tim of the revitalized Golds, 53-48. Lee Neitzel provided t h e scoring punch for the victors with 20 points. In search of their third straight triumph the Popes traveled to Cud- ahy. The meat packers could not contain the Golds' offense, again led by Lee Neitzel's 16 points, and wound up on the top of the 59-60 score. With a very respectable 3-1 non- conference record, Pius took on pow- 14 erful Racine St. Catherine, the State Catholic champions. This proved a gruesome occasion for Coach Mau- rice McMahon's cagers, as they fell before the Angels' onslaught 63-33. Neitzel, the Popes' high scorer for the game, had only 6 points, attest- ing to the tremendous defense of St. Catherine's. At this writing nothing conclusive can be stated about the outcome of this year's basketball team. Accord- ing to Mr. McMahon, the principal handicap the team has to overcome is inexperience. The two big sopho- mores, Ray Mufiler and Terry Welter, have shown a lot of promise. Muf- fler leads the team in rebounding but still has much to learn. Seniors Gene Milner, Jim Nothem and Lee Neitzel have provided the stability for the team and if the sophomores develop, the team should develop. on rebounding, Coach McMahon has decided to employ zone defense in- stead of his usual man-to-man de- fense. Other than that, no drastic changes have been made. According to Mr. McMahon, I am very satis- fied with the record of the team so far this year. Patrick McGrath The Lighter Side Christmas time comes only once a year and in an effort to spread good will among our athletes and their coaches I would like to extend Yule- tide wishes from the Sports staff. In a confidential interview with a cer- tain bearded man, many Christmas secrets were made known to me. Here they are: Word has it that Lee Neitzel wants a birthday cake for Christmas. It seems that Lee was given custody of a cake which was supposed to be pre- sented to Mac on his birthday. When the big moment arrived, Lee failed to come up with it. That's not the recommended way of pleasing the coach, Lee. Jim Braun would like a case of crying towels. Since Jim failed to get great acclaim for his interception in the Cathedral game, he just hasn't been the same Cwhat a breakj. Dick Olivetti requests a case of Brylcreme to keep that just combed look when he runs a mile. George Blanchard would like a fil- ing cabinet so that he can arrange all his scholarships in an orderly fash- ion. Ray Mufller's secret wish is to own his own first-aid kit, so that he can repair his hands after he demon- strates his dunk shot. Since we are on the subject of sport and sports, it has been brought to my attention that Liberace was so generous that he donated the follow- ing articles to Pius' post office Cthis was at carnival timejz a miniature piano and a picture of himself. Mike Donegan would like to con- tinue his favorite hobby. To aid him in his endeavor, Mr. Claus is bring- ing Michael various pots, brass ket- tles and tubes. Bringing sports down to the intra- mural level, we find that senior Don Felske's ardent desire is to have a table which slants to his advantage so that he can win at Indian wrestling. A popular sport with senior boys in section 14 of the lunchroom is the apple-elbow game. An apple is put in the middle of the table and is batted about with the elbows. The side that knocks the apple off the table is the winner. This proves very hard on the apples, however, and consequently the boys would like a bushel of apples to continue their little game. In closing I would like to quote the words of the way-out man from the Northland, Merry Christmas. Patrick McGrath Press Picks One of Coach McMahon's big ifs in his hopes for the Pius basketball team is Lee Neitzel. Mac is counting on Lee to pull the Popes out of the basketball slump that has plagued them throughout last year. Lee, playing with glasses this year, reminds us of his older brother Jerry, who made all-conference while at Pius. When Mac was questioned on a comparison of Jerry and Lee, Mac replied, Lee can be as good as Jerry if not better. Let's hope Mac is right and that Lee helps the Golds out of their nose dive. Jim Braun Sports Sidelines We print the following as a warn- ing to freshman and sophomore boys: next time you're out with your girl, take care not to provoke her. Before you know it, you may find yourself tied up in a full-nelson or a headlock. The reason you probably underesti- mated her strength is that you were ignorant of what has been going on in the girls' gym classes. Miss Henke and Miss Rau adapted for their classes the National Physical Fitness Plan. Freshman and sophomore girls have already completed this course. The girls had to do pull-ups, sit-ups, a shuttle run, a 50-yard dash, a 600- yard run and a broad jump. The course was completed about two weeks before the Sadie Hawkins dance. Looks a little suspicious to me. Senior Dick Vergiels and junior Bob Brzycki were each fortunate and skillfull enough to shoot down a Cana- dian goose. Both Dick and Bob exer- cised this rare feat over the weekend of November 14-16. Junior Jim Braun, knife in hand, again kindly suggests I mention the pass he intercepted in the Cathedral game. A picture was taken of his in- terception, and I'll swear his eyes were shut. Neil Casey Photo by Lynn Meinerz 24-25-26, count these girls as they give all they've got to sit-ups. This was part of the physical fitness plan conducted in the gym classes. 15 ,49'ers Hold lass Reunion Dancing, reminiscing, prizes and awards highlighted the evening of September 26 at the Ambassador hotel, when the class of '49 held its ten-year reunion. Out of 197 gradu- ates, 100 attended. A committee of fourteen organized and planned the reuniong they are Gertrude Marks Bobrowitz, Edie Grambling Bonness, Myrtle Goldman Brehm, Beverly Keith Donovan, Donna Huebner Ko- walski, Dolores Kowalski Lipinski, Pat Neuman Matthews, Ed and Mari- lyn Gribble, Betty Busch Heinrich, Edward Mueller, Rosemary Bonin Nickels, Ted Seitz, Monica Carlson Shields and Betty Beck Windorff. They renewed memories of their class activities such as the Chinese operettag two plays, Murder in a Nunnery and Arsenic and Old Lace and the variety show. Unforgettable was the sport's season of '49 when the football team finished even, win- ning three and losing three. Undis- puted last place was claimed by the basketball team with two wins and sixteen losses. Other sports of that y ea r included intramural boxing, boys intramural volleyball and roll- ing gutter balls at Ben Day Bowl. Awards were given for various feats. They were given to Bob Daas, Koelsch Speaks To Pius Debaters In October Frank Koelsch '57 spoke to the Pius debaters on labor. A highly rated debater in high school, Frank is now attending Marquette university where he is on the Mar- quette debating team. At Pius, Frank was a member of the senior court, a Key club ofiicer, in the senior play The Robe and on the football team. The topic concerned the labor prob- lem, which is this year's debate ques- tion. CResolved: That the federal government should increase substan- tially its control of the labor unions.j Koelsch stated that labor unions should not be connected in any way with political parties. Frank gave several pointer's used by Marquette university on this same labor ques- tion.

Kathy Niles Father McCall Made Major Father McCall, vice-principal in charge of boys, was promoted from captain to major in the Wisconsin National Guard. While his commis- sion was effective June 1, 1959, he was not informed of it until recently because of red tape. Pius' vice-principal has been in the National Guard for ten years and he intends to stay in for a while, quite possibly for another ten years. Major McCall is a chaplain in the Guard and has charge of 1,500 men, about 5094 of them Catholic. Four chaplains worked with Father McCall, but when Washington reor- ganized, Father McCall was the only chaplain in his unit. Since he is with an artillery unit, the Army figured he didn't need so much help in a battle situation because the artillery would be spread out over a wide area where there would be another Catholic chap- lain, Father remarked.

They will stay at the homes of Pius upper- classmen Chuck and Mary Ellen Burke, Rose Anne Frankewick, Judy Cychosz and sophomore Judy Beil. Since 1947, 4,089 students from 30 foreign countries have acquired firsthand information about Ameri- can school life by participating in the Foreign Exchange Student Pro- gram. Enabling students from 16 to 18 years to exchange places and become acquainted with the ideas and customs of each other's country is the work of this service. However, this exchange is not just a one-way deal for Pius. Willing stu- dents of the class of '62 who meet the intellectual and personality re- quirements set by the Field Service will be able to go abroad for six weeks of study during the summer of 1961. At Pius now are many foreign- born students. All agree with senior Bob Steigerwald CGermanyJ that this program helps tremen- dously in the understanding be- tween America and the rest of the world. Sophomore Anna Marie Schultz CYugoslaviaD feels that through this program, America will be able to learn more about other nations and their school life. Pius Meets STS Challenge In July of 1958, Father Becker and Father McCall attended a workshop at Northwestern University to learn the details of a new program to be initiated at Pius. This was the be- ginning of the pilot plan, now part of the Superior and Talented Students Program at Pius and 99 other schools in Central United States. Last December 12, Father Becker and Father McCall, in charge of the program at Pius, with nine other fac- ulty members, met with teachers from the other participating Wisconsin schools. Under the supervision of Doctor Bruce Schertzer, national di- rector of the STS program, these teachers discussed their progress and shared problems of their particular 1 departments. Besides the two prin- cipals, Pius teachers attending the meeting were Sister Claudian, Sister Austin, Sister Poverello, Sister Chris- topher, Mr. Whelan, Mr. Riegert, Mr. Garrot, Mr. Grover and Mr. Drexler.

On national norms the top 2594, are classified as STSQ this, at Pius, is 4062, or about 900 students. The purpose of the STS program is to encourage college for able stu- dents, even a two-year college to pre- pare the individual to contribute to society in a professional capacity. Here, motivation is often needed, and the need is found through interviews with the student's homeroom teacher. Among freshmen and sophomores the pilot plan is carried out to the fullest. Juniors and seniors have pilot classes to some extent, but, since they were sophomores and juniors when it was initiated, the full four-year pro- gram was not available to them. This program generally consists in four years of Latin and math. In the junior year the student has a choice of concentrating on a social studies program or a math-science program. As seniors, seminars will be made available to the top two per cent of the class. Engli h Essential For College, Life I know what I mean, but I can't put it down on paper, complained the frustrated student, struggling to ex- press his thoughts via the medium of pen and paper. Unfortunately for this particular student and for all students profi- ciency in writing is not a single, in- born quality. Rather it is a combina- tion of many skills-a thorough knowledge of grammar, of sentence and paragraph structure, plus clarity of expression, fluency with words and, most important, logical arrangement of thoughts resulting from logical reasoning. To this must be added the fact that skill in English composition is acquired only through writing, cor- recting and rewriting. It seems that only high school stu- dents question its being necessary for them to be able to write their thoughts in good English, that is, until a history theme comes back marked with an F because the teach- er could not decide what exactly they Photo by Walter Zukowski Preparing for a piano recital juniors Brian Mineau, Sue Gedlen, Elaine Koch, Kathy Werner, Carol Shalek receive last minute instructions. All are Sister Caritina's students. 2 had written, or some prospective em- ployer tosses aside an application be- cause the caliber of the answers is just about what you would expect of a sixth grader. As for college a student has fiunked out even before he has started if he cannot set his thoughts on paper with some degree of proiciency. A survey among Pius graduates now attending college asked what was the biggest deficiency in the high school training. The most often mentioned answer was English composition. Here at Pius students have a chance to display their talent in the field of English composition. Re- quired monthly impromptu essays in each class are also an opportunity to increase skills. Every year magazines and organizations such as the Atlantic Monthly, and the Junior Chamber of Commerce sponsor numerous contests which offer opportunities for creative work in English. Most of these offer scholarship prizes or other monetary rewards. Sophomores can contribute to that level's new publication, The Kaleido- scope. Maryellen Haberstroh Recital Honors Composers Papa Haydn's dead and gone, but his music lingers on. A piano recital on January 3, given by the students of Sister M. Caritina, music instruc- tor at Pius, commemorating the an- niversaries of three composers- Handel, Haydn and Mendelssohn- brought these words to mind. Two hundred years ago George Handel, composer of the still popular Messiah, died. Austrian composer, Joseph Haydn, died 150 years ago. Born the same year that Haydn died, Felix Mendelssohn composed many of his works influenced by literature. Among the students presenting these composers' works were senior Carolyn Bude, junior Merilyn Hoff- man and freshmen Donald Skwieraw- ski, Cynthia Buchta and Mary Pi- raino. Closing the program senior Doug- las Van Gemert, freshmen Barbara Polak, Kathleen Rosewitz and Patri- cia Spakowski played a few Christ- mas selections. Mary Goetter and Kathy Niles read Anastasia. Make-up begins with an all-over base. Cabovej Shadow and age lines intensify. Interpretation Stresse In Drama, Forensics Facial expressions, body move- ment, make-up-all familiar enough terms to most of us, but as Pius drama students have found, they can be the most elusive subjects to deal with. During the course of the first se- mester, the students dealt with each of these fields, finally co-ordinating them in short scenes which they per- formed in groups of two's. Among these were Glass Menag- erie with Rosita Bodmer and Pat Knauer, Diary of Anne Frank with Sharon Smith and Bill Erick- son, Death of a Salesman with Tom Curly and Judy Mullarkey, Anastasia with Mary Goetter and Kathy Niles, The Silver Cord with Jackie Kane and Nancy Palmer, Our Town with Bob Heller and Kathy Niles and I Remember Ma- ma with Maureen McGuire and Sandy Bolskar. After the class se- lected and criticized the three best scenes, Anastasia, Diary of Anne Frank and Our Town, they were presented to some English classes. A few very welcome words from Sister Clotildis . . . with just a short scene they brought to mind the whole play, were eagerly re- ceived by the aspiring actors and actresses. Then it was suggested that senior Mary Goetter's Russian Duchess would be more convincing if she were immersed in greasepaint and eye shadow. The make-up artists Judy Mul- larkey and Kathy Niles began by choosing a light base tgreasepaintj to represent the pallor of old age tsee second picture, leftj. Next they applied blue shadow to the cheeks and eyes, giving the face a hollow look. Exaggerated age lines, eyebrows drawn short and stubby, lips reduced to a thin firm line- all, when viewed closely, seem to be a horrible mistake. tSee picture three, lefty. Since this is prosce- nium make-up, however, the lilies and colors when viewed from a distance all blend, giving the desired effect. Closely aligned with this field is forensics, in which students from schools in this area deliver speeches and monologues before judges in competition. Work hardly described the efforts of these students. Kathy Conway, a junior in forensics, has a better definition, It's fun and you meet so many interesting people . . . The Midwest Catholic Forensic Meet was held December 19 at Mar- quette University. Pius placed five contestants in the Hnals and walked off with the first place trophy.

Kathy Scheller 410 Grandma's Hands Unthought of as the food is eaten are the laborious hands which prepared it, but how fascinated was I as a small child to watch grandma's. Grandma started by greasing the baking tins, clutch- ing tightly the buttered paper and swirling it speedily around the pan. Her grip was firm, yet she had short, pudgy and seemingly clumsy hands. Blotches of brown skin peppered the whiteness of the dough. No baking of grandma's would have even been complete without thor- oughly mixing it with Overused hands. How the dough itself responded to her magic touch! It seemed the dough foresaw the nourishment it would give the family. These hands, shaping the corners and patching the spots, had the sureness of a doctor's scalpel and the swiftness of a concertmaster's baton. The sight - how wonderful it was! - of grandma cut- ting a loaf toward herself, almost slicing parts of herself, will never be forgotten. Nothing here or beyond could have tasted better.

This is fine that night but involves complications the next morning. I have tried to rid myself of this particular habit from time to time but to no avail. Then as I was collecting quotes for my commonplace book, I ran across this morsel from Mark Twain. A habit cannot be thrown out the windowg it must be coaxed down the stairs a step at a time. This sounds nice, I thoughtg maybe it will work. As a result, that night I sneaked up the stairs armed with books on such varied means of persuasion as karate, aikido, judo, jui-jitsu. savate, chinese boxing and stick- play CI am not a believer in subtle persuasionj. Then I walked over to it in a friendly way as if to clap it on the back. Instead, I took that favorite hold of every policeman known as the come along and pro- ceeded to coax it down the stairs. Many bruises, bites, scratches and loud yelling later I hobbled upstairs after it, determined to heave that thing out the window if it was the end of me. It nearly was! Unfortunately that habit knew how to use that basic principle of the old martial arts, that of giving way. After bracing its feet against the frame and letting me heave futilely for a time, it merely took hold of the venetian blinds cords and went swinging out into the wild blue yonder. So as for me, Mark Twain can do all the coaxing. He might be in a better position to do it. Joe Sinnott 419 Poet's Calendar - 2 January is a lonely sparrow on a snow-covered fence.

With the first forward thrust of his arm the knife pierced the layer of fat sur- rounding the meat. He drew the knife back and the meat hung there cut evenly down to the bone. He laid down the knife and anchored the large meat saw in his hand, cut through the bone and returned the saw to the hook above him. He took another knife and maneuvered it through the remaining section of the meat. He then laid the meat flat on the block, put down the large knife, gripped a smaller knife and trimmed away all the excess fat from the edge of the meat. He had a perfect steak ready for the grill Robert Hoffmann 422 Personalities Plus . . . One of the Few Photo by Leon Ploszaj Adolph He is one of the few men I know who fits the term, gentleman, said Mr. Riegert, guidance director. A fitting tribute to a man who has brought light and guidance to who- can-say how many. But this man, Adolph Grosswitz, does not appear this way at first glance. An 80-year- old bachelor refinishing desks in a hidden room in Pius' basement, this is what our eyes see. But talk with this man, and we then first see him. Soft spoken, always ready to listen, saying only what is necessary, this is the man I met. Eighty years ago Adolph was born in Milwaukee, a small city then, 27 street being the western boundary. When out of grade school, he went to work at the Kirby House as a bellboy. From then until he was 75 years old, who knows what joys and disappointments shaped this man into what he is now. All we can say is that he has become wise with age. In a comparison between social life in his youth and that of the youth of today, he stated, It used to be more of family affair. The wealthy were the ones who did what is done today. My impression had been that there wasn't much in the way of sports in that time, but Mr. Grosswitz stated they had baseball, swimming and skating. Basketball and football were confined to college levels. Why does Adolph work, W he n most men retire long before the age of eighty? His reply was simple and direct. He stated he couldn't live in a rocking chair by himself all day. He has to keep his hands and mind active. He intends to keep working as long as health permits him and if this could have anything to do with it, he acts and looks like a man at least fifteen years younger. A few times the office has sent problem boys down to Adolph to see what he could do with them. Adolph put them to work. They looked like good boys to me, was his comment. We don't know what they did after that, but the point is that when with Adolph, they obeyed him. His kind is rare, a man who will work from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. never cheat a minute, but a man never too busy to lend assistance. Neil Casey Pro reading Let me explain the ideal discipli- nary system exercised by Father Hueller in senior religion class. He caught Maureen McGuire d o i n g homework during class and tore up the paper. Tears were immediately turned on. Father broke down and gave the rest of the period as a study hall so Maureen could get her homework done. This just goes to show Pius teachers have a heart. Well-um. Oh, gosh-gee-I'm sorry. We're just wondering if the s e were Father Miller's words as he crunched up junior Mary Karth's paper because he thought she was doing other work than on the pres- ent subject in his religion class. Think what the reaction must have been as he uncrunched the paper and discovered n o t e s - religion notes. Of course we wouldn't dream of disclosing the fact that under the religion notes was another paper, a history assignment. Janet Jacobchick Don't Blame Me Personality and poise is sup- posed to be the theme of the senior charm course. Two very interesting topics covered were putting on a coat and stooping to pick up an ob- ject. Sue Prasser 218 managed to pick up her purse, but Why did she have to sit on the fioor While doing it? Senior Barb Praessel also did a wonderful job of putting on her coat. There's just one little detail, Barb, that bothers me. Why did you put it on backwards? Need extra spending money? If so, contact Mike Komassa in 215. It seems recently in a driver training class he presented junior Herman Martin with a check for 353,000 Everything was filled outg he signed his name and presented Herman with the piece of paper. The check's date: December 10, 1949. If someone were to have walked in on a rehearsal of the senior variety show, they would have been amazed at the sight of a huge cauldron, two arms and two legs protruding. But on closer examination they'd find it was only Janet Edgerten. How did you ever get stuck, Jan? Janet Jacobchick 6 What are yo ur purposes in holding a job, carrying on a conversation, promoting friendship and participating in classes? The only reason I hold a job is because I need the money. I really don't like it very much. The job I have will not help me in my future vocation. The average Pius student does not realize that these activities may contribute to his success or failure. Joe Bates 322 The ability to carry on a conver- sation largely determines your so- cial status at high school. It will be even more important when you graduate, for it will determine the kind of work you will be capable of doing. Tom Staley 215 My main purposes in carrying on conversations and promoting friend- ships are that I learn from others things that I could never find in any book. Every person is different and has different ideas about things. I feel that a friendly give-and-take conversation and friendship is good for all people involved. Barbara Goetz 319 Mostly, my purpose in class is to better my ideas, help others with theirs, and learn from my mistakes. I also learn how others react to me. Mari Karth 313 formance, we have a lack of success -defeat. Defeat was well demon- strated by the seniors' recent at- tempt to produce a variety show. Or was it a talent show? If variety is the spice of life, this was quite obviously one of life's least savory moments. If the offerings were representative of the best talent of the class, we don't have much to be proud of. The essential cause of the show's failure was the lack of discretion in choosing what type of act to pre- sent. It is sometimes necessary for us to think beyond that which first appeals to our limited minds and tastes. Perhaps what we regard as talent is not exactly that. Variety was lacking in the presen- tation as all homerooms attempted to amuse. All acts, in spite of the fact that many were elementary slapstick, were intended to be satiri- cal. At least there would have been talent, if no great variety, had this satire been well done. Good satire focuses our attention on the contrast between things as they should be and as they are. It is a sort of cloaked criticism, certainly not a knee-slapping routine. T ey Say... I would say that my purpose in holding a job would be threefold: ill to save for the future such as college, 123 to be ready for any emergencies that may arise, 133 to understand the value of a dollar and how hard it can be to earn it. As far as carrying on a conversation, that could be just to make a friend, to learn something or help someone else learn something or just to make life more interesting. Dennis Zazem 328 Letters to the editors: Show Success lies in the ability of a person or thing to approach its po- tential. When there is a wide gap between potential and actual per- Talent isn't lacking in the class. This has been well demonstrated in past performances of a more diverse nature. It simply wasn't employed in this. It may have been a disad- vantage to limit the acts by home- room. Some sort of limitation was necessary, however, and the method chosen wasn't that great an impedi- ment. Complacently to accept the show as it was presented, as some did, is a sure sign of our poor taste. Good taste is not lacking, just poorly de- veloped. Let us not be victims of the failure to develop and refine our minds, a failure Cicero listed as one of man's basic mistakes. Finally, let us remember, as Bovee says, A sound discretion is not so much indicated by never making a mistake as by never repeating it. Tom Stockiisch 207 7 December editorial I completely agree with the ar- ticle, but I think it could be more realistically presented. The article does not tell how, when I have real- ized my goal, to act for myself to obtain it. It greatly emphasizes in- dividualism, yet it implies that in order to overcome certain problems, such as communism, we must work as a whole, which destroys the in- dividual. I think this is a very good article to get people started think- ing, but not to keep them going, for it lacks further advice. Jerry Krause 312 Editor: Once we have realized our purpose, it is up to our own discre- tion, based on an honest evaluation K the reflection and conversation sug- gested at the end of the editorialj, to act in a way which will further and finally terminate our purpose in suc- cess. With respect to acting as a whole destroying the individual, each person of us must act with Truth as guide. We will consequently be act- ing as a whole, since Truth is univer- sal. It is to act as a whole not as a mass. I agree wholeheartedly that peo- ple fail to realize themselves, and many people are afraid to speak up. But can one blame them? Look what happens to young people when they begin to make themselves leaders. They're laughed at. Pat Coon 318 Editor: Okay, they're laughed at, but who's laughing? Is it someone who knows when it's time to laugh or -is it some yolcel who's got his mouth going before his brain? The natu- ral Zeader is not necessarily what we want, but a YOU who knows his pur- pose and allows nothing to dissuade him from achieving it. Mass 1 would like to make a suggestion about the Mass on First Friday. It is just that I think the Mass should be sung instead of just read aloud. I also think that there would be closer attention at Mass and better participation. The Mass could be taught by the religion teachers or over the P.A. It wouldn't be that difficult to do it this way. It is said that there are twice the graces with singing as compared with just praying. And I think that is the most important point. If the Mass isn't for the full adoration of God, then what is it for? Michael Krygier 318 Human . . . or therwise. Have you ever wondered? I mean, did you ever see you isolated from everyone and everything, kind of sepa- rated from everything that is happening. This would leave you quite alone, very alone. And while you are this way, what in the wonder do you do? You can talk to yourself if you like to hear something you already know but I hardly think this would occur, since most of us don't even like to hear what we don't know. If left to yourself, you'd probably go on wondering. This wondering is a pastime we indulge in without any special notice. I wonder what it would be like not to be able to wonder. Poets will say that life is wonder- ful, e'rgo, full of wonders. Hence if we cannot wonder, we have not life. This wondering, where did it come from. Rover cannot wander in endless wonder and for that rea- son lives in a kennel and occupies the end of the leash that he does. But we are full of wonders and so are won- derful. But-there is a but in everything wonderful- what good does it do us to wonder? To wonder is to survey the landscape before laying the foundation of you. Wondering precedes the thought, which, in turn, precedes the action. Wonder, creating a thought, then, is the difference between us and Rover. Whether or not we make this difference determines whether or not we are a human person, aware of our hu- man dignity. Because human persons are the image of a God full of wonder, it is an offense against Him not to respect the wonder in them. If we do not respect the work of the Author, we do not respect the Author. In other words, simply because we are human persons we must respect each other for the God in us. The human person, acting correctly, wonders and col- lecting these wonders, thinks. And when we think and if we are normal, we will want to share the satisfaction, dis- covery or confusion brought on by that reflection in wonder. This is where that only-too-true platitude so- cial being finds its place. The platitude is right. We are social beings but the definition makes all the difference. To be social does not mean to be a clown, a sport or a life of the party or anything else our Pepsi-pushing advertis- ing agencies have been making it appear to be. Sociabil- ity is generous and does not exist merely for the pleasure of the social gadfly. If one person benefits from our pres- ence, we fulfill the requisites involved in that term social being. The least contribution would be not to retard No man should ever come in contact with us, even briefly and go away with the feeling that he has been only a thing to us, and not a man. Vieujean The Pius XI Journal Published eight times yearly by the students of Pius XI High School Milwaukee 13, Wisconsin 1955-59 All Catholic-Newspaper of Distinction Vol. XXVI,'No. 4 January 15, 1960 their growth by our presence and the greatest would be for us to help another person to realize a new idea, re- vitalize Cby a new insightj an old idea or to encourage his growth by agreeing and giving our reasons for our agreement, thus clarifying and enlarging another's per- ception as well as our own. This is the function of the social being. Since we are always being, this social nature enters, into everything we do and consequently, everything we do must be done gen- erously and with others in mind. If we do not act along these lines, we are not social beings and if not a social being, not a man. Today it is not apparent on the surface, but to be a sincere friend, student, employee and conversationalist is to be a real person, the wonder-full person, and it is to find other real wonder-full persons in your wanderings in wonder. Larry Lock . . . A Conversationalist Talk is the chatter that stops only when the radio blares. Conversation is the discussion that never stops, but lingers in the mind. Talk is simultaneous monologues by egotists. Conversation is a discussion by the sharers. Talk appears on a crowded Pius Special. Conversation appears in a 'quiet den. Talk is by gold-clad boys booing the blue and gold. Conversation is by men periscoping the news. Talk drags on at the half-time of a football game. Conversation fieets by over warming coke. Talk entails half-attention. Conversation entails interest. Talk plays with ideas, just as a child colors in his coloring book. Conversation forms ideas, just as an artist creates with clay. Talk skims a personality with trivialities. Conversation extends a personality with broad-mindedness. Talk vegetates with the superficial mind. Conversation nourishes a searching mind. Talk confuses. Conversation enlightens. Kathy Lennon . . . A Student Many editorials tend to become preachy. This edi- torial won't, mainly because I am a victim of the problem I am writing on. This is not intended to be a Confidential public confession, but it will give the picture of what is too common in high school. My grasping a subject depends a great deal on the at- titude of the class toward that subject. This class atti- tude is the result of the students. Apply this to yourself. Take a look at your last re- port card. What subject were you low in - I don't mean low 70's but in which subject did you accomplish less than you could have. Now look into those classrooms, at the kids who make up the class, at the guy or girl who sits next to you. How do they act in class? What is their attitude toward learning? If the class is content to breeze along, if they think nothing of cheating in assignments and tests to pass, you may have followed their example or at least been tempted to loaf off. On the other hand, if you were in a class, however rare, where the attitude was one of effort to get something out of the class, you would probably think twice before loafing or cheating. For those of you who agree with me up to this point, that you are influenced by the students in your class, then by the same token you must agree that, as a mem- ber of that class, you influence them also. You may think that when you sit like a dead log in the third seat you are not harming anyone but yourself. But your very in- action, revealing your attitude, influences others. It all boils down to this. When you, through a posi- tive class attitude, influence someone else, you are help- ing yourself by providing the atmosphere. Well, help yourself. Patrick McGrath . . . A Friend Friends? Oh, I have 1-2-,- 13 in my homeroom . . . better make that 123 Sandy wouldn't give me her as- signment yesterday. At my last counting I had 27 friends in five classes. Then there are my close friends . . . Linda drives me to school 5 Janis lends me her clothesg Susie gives me-what do you mean, do I have any friends? Have you ever stopped to think of what a friend is? To explain the idea of friendship, let's break it down into its three main parts, equality, benevolence and mutual ex- change, listed by the author of a recent article in Today. With whom do we seek friendship? Not the four- year-old neighbor. He has not the maturity, experience or interests that we have. Friendship, to be real, calls for equality in all three. We would have to lower ourselves to his little world which would be unfair to us. Benevolence, willing the good of the other, both spir- itually and materially, is essential. If we are not willing to take a deep, unselfish interest in his betterment, and he in ours, there is no friendship. Obviously, the assign- ment giver is not interested in our spiritual benefit. Ability to exchange ideas and problems freely is the third part of friendship. A teacher, though close to us, is not a friend. She would hardly tell us her problems and we do not tell her everything we would like to either. Friendship would become a negative or one-sided affair if it lacked this common bond. Is there a better way to grow socially than to have a true friendship? It does more for our personality and social success than any dance, party or high school mixer. Unselfishness, the key to a real personality, will be de- veloped much better in a friendship because we can't al- ways be thinking of our own gain and still have friends. Often a social turns out to be a survival of the conceited. Now, how many friends do you have? And how many friends are you? Pat Hot? . . An Employee For many of us, after-school hours and Saturdays are spent in employment in such places as supermarkets, theaters and drugstores. No, this isn't another editorial condemning after- school employment. It is concerned with our obligations when working, if we have to. Contrary to popular belief, our employer is not doing us a favor by hiring us. He is giving us a right and we have a duty to him and to his customers. We owe him and them a service in return for the pay we are receiving. However, an individual also has an obligation to him- self. The next question is to find out how we individuals can develop our talents to the fullest extent. Society has set up an institution which it calls a school. It is for the express purpose of developing our talents. If our work interferes with our formal education, we are side-step- ping our foremost obligation. In fulfilling this obligation to ourselves, we are also fulfilling our obligation to God and to every other person with whom we come in contact or whom we influence through our actions. Man cannot serve two masters. One has to suffer. It is up to the individual to determine which will suffer, the school work or job. There are some cases when work does supercede school, when the family is in desperate financial need. This is rare. We can't construe as a need such things as cigarettes, cars and dates. It is our obligation to determine our obligations and follow them through. Bob Dirks fa in .f , ,.:,,L 9, .Q I ,V If I I W Q' F f! Q H 'A flaw 174 ...L r' -- - ff fi-' if rf!

A Mass cannot think because it is not capable of true thinking. Only he's and she's can think. Only persons can think. Persons have a purpose in mind.

Their slogan is Together we stand. divided we fall. People are afraid to conquer an assignment, to spend their time thinking. They'd rather waste time, support corridor Walls, share assignments. Persons socialize for the purpose of meeting persons, learning things, discovering their purpose in life. Persons study for the purpose of learning things, discovering their purpose in life, self-betterment. There are people and there are persons on this page . . . Decide for yourself. Maryellen Haberstroh Joanne Cavanaugh 12 Piu Basketball Up and Comin Three points in a fast-moving game like basketball is very few, but three points made the difference be- tween a 5-2 and a 3-4 conference record. This is mere conjecture, and almost only counts in horseshoes, but it does prove Pius' basketball team is no pushover around the league. Mr. McMahon had this to say, I am not completely satisfied with the season, but the boys seem to be com- ing along now. We have been ham- pered by bad breaks in our earlier games, but the boys are beginning to overcome one of their major handi- caps-a poor shooting percentage. Our inconsistency in earlier games has to be attributed to poor shoot- ing. Mac gave special credit to sen- iors Gene Milner and Jim Nothem for their fine performances in recent games. Milner, the Popes' high scorer, played his best games of the season against Messmer and Cathe- dral while Nothem's were against Messmer and Memorial. Also mentioned in Mac's praises were sophomores Terry Welter and Ricky Theisen. Welter has improved greatly since the start of the season and has developed into a real scor- ing threat as well as a competent rebounder. Although Mac hasn't been able to play Ricky Theisen as much as he would like because of the closeness of the games, he has a great deal of confidence in him and expects Ricky to be a main cog on future Pius basketball teams. The season is a long way from over, and with a few breaks and a little school support, we could finish the cage season with a very respect- able record. Patrick McGrath The Lighter Side Resolved: That athletics is just as intellectual as debate and that de- bate is every bit as physical as ath- letics. This topic had aroused such con- troversy that a debate was sched- uled between two prominent athletes and two debaters. Lee Neitzel and Gene Milner took the affirmative for Photo by Gerald Snrnolinski While Spider Reardon does a little dance, Terry Welter gives chase to loose ball in the winning elfort against Cathedral. 14 the athletes while Tom Stockfisch and Bob Weishan made up the nega- tive team for the debaters. Lee Neitzel arose with his usual scwoir-faire and stood before the ros- trum. Dear judges and friends. It seems dat some people around dis here school think dat athletes don't have no mental capacityg in fact, I even heard one guy say we was stupid. Now dis ain't so 'cause we gotta kn ow all kindsa different plays so we can make lotsa baskets and dis is just as hard as sayin' lot- sa big words. First negative speaker was Stock- lisch, attired in a brown continental suit, continental shoes, continental socks and continental glasses. Reverend Fathers, venerable Sis- ters, members of the lay faculty, worthy opponents, judges. My op- ponent's opinion that athletics is on the same level with debate must be some attempt at frivolity. I deem it my prerogative to point out the splendid record unsurpassed in the annals of Pius. I'm sure our oppo- nents would not deem it practical to compare records. Mr. Stockfisch rambled on in a lengthy dissertation which took up most of the debate, but finally he finished, picked up his yellow sheets and returned to his place. At Stockfisch's departure, Gene Milner sauntered up to the podium. Friends, I've been watching these proceedings for some time, and I'm inclined to think that the debaters are phony. They try to pretend their cases are based strictly on logic but everyone knows they try to sway the judge by emotional or physical tactics. We athletes never get excited. We play it cool. Bob Weishan enters, with a great flourish. My opponent is just try- ing to make me look bad! It is pre- posterous to think that after four years of debate we would stoop so low as to use the physical ap- proach! After Mr. Weishan's speech, the stage hands hurriedly picked up the splintered rostrum so that the re- buttals could commence. Rebuttals flew back and forth and, after the air got -a little thinner, the results were the following: Stockfisch-a spot on his con- tinental suitg Neitzel-voice lost in frightg Weishan-broken hand from pounding rostrumg Milner- he found the atmosphere stuffy and went to sleep. Patrick McGrath Two points for 422 as the opponent makes a futile effort to stop a well executed jump shot in recent intramural action. Photo by Gene Hopp -VS Bid For Fir t The success of this year's J-V team is due to a very well-worked full court press which finds most of the junior Popes' opposition in utter distress. Offensively th e Frosh- Sophs are no slouches as Mr. Miller has a fine combination of speed and height. At the pivot position Tom Fitzpatrick has been a mild sur- prise as he couples his long strides with some fine moves. He's a comer. The forwards, for th at matter, aren't half bad eitherg this position is held down by Mike Hohner and Jim Klinzing. The gua rds are Jerry Spangenberg and R o n n ie Wambach, the latter being a fine competitor. The team could be in first place if they defeat Marquette in their next game which is more of a problem than meets the eye. Pius has a jinx on that floor, small and compact, a natural hazard to a fast breaking team. With a 4-1 record it seems as though the J-V's had a fine first half of the season with their only defeat coming from Cathedral. I'm looking forward to the sec- ond half of the year, stated Mr. Miller. I feel we haven't jelled yet, we're a much better team. One observation Mr. Miller made was that the team is complacent at times which is probably the cause of the close scores. Due to the pro- motion of Ray Muffler and Terry Welter to the Varsity we lack meat under the boards. The J-V's have defeated Memori- al, St. Bonaventure, Messmer and Notre Dame. As earlier mentioned, by beating Marquette they will be in first place. Mr. Miller pointed out I feel we can take Marquette and agreed there is always an extra in- centive when we play those boys. Turning to intramurals, in the senior division 216 and a combina- tion of 310-218 will play for the title. The juniors finale will take place between 314 and the combo of 332-326. Teams made up of 410-319 114-422 will attempt the winning of championship in the sophomore di- vision. The frosh dandies are 405- 407 and 515-118.

Opening the convention on Fri- day, Archbishop Cousins will cele- brate a Solemn Pontifical Mass in the Milwaukee Auditorium. After a brief welcome by the Archbishop, Monsignor Louis Riedel, SUMA director and convention chairman, will explain the theme at the first general session. During the three convention days, participants will be able to attend over 30 sessions with many noted priests and lay speakers discussing various phases of Catholic Action. Among these are Father Joseph Baglio, director of the CYO center in Minneapolis, well known Domini- can speaker Father Gilbert Graham, ay 24-30 Senior Tour Variety is the word to describe the 1960 Pius high school tour to New York City and Washington, D.C. The itinerary for the six-day trip, May 24-30, includes eight guided tours plus a stage production at Radio City Music Hall in New York. While in New York, the party will tour the United Nations and the Em- pire State Building, and view Rocke- feller Center, Broadway and Green- wich Village. Scheduled stops in Washington, D.C., are the Capitol, White House, Mount Vernon and the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. O.P., and Father John Whelan, a former prison chaplain from Illinois. Local speakers will include Mon- signor Philip Schwab, Father Ga- briel Hafford and special agent, Mr. Gerald Gearty, in charge of the Mil- waukee ofiice of the F.B.I. Mr. William Lundigan, Hollywood actor and Mr. Richard Dwyer, star of the Ice Follies, will also give talks. A new feature will be added to this year's convention. After Mass on Sunday, a combination breakfast- meeting session will be held in one of the Auditorium halls at an extra fee of 31.00. The annual Variety Show and so- cial will be held on Friday and Sat- urday respectively. Spiritual director of the St. Francis Major Seminary, whose weekly column appears in the Catholic Herald Citizen, Reverend Gabriel Halford will be among the speakers at W.C.A.C. CVogueJ Council Attends MASC Meeting Extending the time on bus passes and honor study halls were the top- ics discussed at the January meet- ing of the Milwaukee archdiocesan student council. The ten Pius Stu- dent Council odicers attended the monthly MASC meeting, held at Di- vine Savior. Passport to Maturity was decided upon as the theme for the coming year. Chuck Burke represented Pius on a four-school committee to try get- ting a time extension on the bus pass. St. John's, Don Bosco and Holy Angels are the other schools on the committee. On Wednesday, January 20, the committee went to the Transport company with the facts of a sur- vey among students concerning a time extension and asked for fifteen minutes more on the school bus passes. The Transport company ofii- cial stated that this would be impos- sible without a price raise. Never- theless, Burke asserted that the com- mittee would try again. Area Artists Convene Dominican High School in White- fish Bay is the scene of an art con- vention of Milwaukee area high schools February 27. Four profes- sional Milwaukee artists will speak to the art-minded convention-goers. Austrian born Leo Steppett, who has taught at the University of Mad- ison, will deliver the main talk. Demonstrations will be given by Doris White, specializing in water colors, Robert Von Neumann, graphic artist who teaches at the University of Wisconsin, and George Green, also teaching at the University of Wisconsin. Booths with displays of some of the works of the artists will be ex- hibited as examples of their media. Each of the artists has prize win- ning pieces. On the convention committee is Sister Irenita, of Pius' art depart- ment, who mentioned that the pur- pose of the convention is to make the students aware of their voca- tion as artists. uditions Staged For Senior Musical Willie get a wiggle on, a senior shouts as he bounds across the stage. He's trying out for a part in this year's senior class play, Seventeen. But he isn't alone. An enthusiastic turnout of better than one third of the senior class tried out for the play when school began after Christmas. Mr. Frankiewicz, dramatics director, expressed pleasure in the seniors' in- terest and enthusiasm and in the amount of potential talent that had been found. Being a musical, Seventeen has many singing parts, both solo and chorus. Part of the tryout included a rendition of a few lines from one of the songs. Sister Cecile had given preliminary voice lessons to those interested in trying out. Dancing, too, plays a big part in Seventeen. Experienced toe-dancer, Joan Leising, helped out with a few pointers to the hopeful seniors. A l t h o u g h Mr. Frankiewicz is pointing for an all-senior cast, an underclassman might be considered t l sa: . Ca C Q 2.5 -VJ only for the art of the play itself. Also in the interest of the play, the specified cast of 26 will probably be supplemented by 50 other seniors. At this writing, no one has definitely been chosen for any part. Written by Booth Tarkington, Sev- enteen takes place just after the turn of the twentieth century, sometimes known as the good old days. The scene is a small town in Indiana. As the title implies, most of the charac- ters are around the age of seventeen.

Junior Scientists Probe Puzzlin Wax Problem Would you have spent your Christ- mas vacation collecting samples of waxes or learning the correct pro- cedure for taking X-rays? Perhaps not, but juniors Mary Brauer, Karen Tennies, and Judee Turk did do just that. The girls are working on a chem- istry project in Waxes, attempting to determine why some waxes can be used only on floors and others only on furniture. In preparation for the research to follow, the trio toured Johnson wax on December 8 and obtained samples of ten different waxes. Previously they had met with Dr. Barkow, a professor of physics at M a r q u e tt e, and discussed the method they would use in investi- gating the problem. I 4 N .05 ea itgliff gee F . G95 ne?

Thus far the girls have spent over six hours exposing X-ray film and developing negatives. All of this work is in preparation for the Southeastern Science Fair to be held at Marquette university, April 8-10. As Mary Brauer states, It's really interesting once you get started. C' Science-minded juniors and sen- iors had two recent opportunities to take tours. Twenty students and five teachers toured the Argonne Na- tional Research Laboratory on Jan- uary 20. The Research and Math clubs went though the laboratories of Chicago university January 29. Pius was honored with the visit of three Sisters from the German Province of the School Sisters of Saint Francis January 12. In connection with Catholic Book Week, Miss Mary Moran of Marquette university appeared at an assembly February 10. College Night Gives Answer Last years' graduating class saw 233 students college bound. Seventy per cent entered Catholic Colleges and the other 301, went to non-Cath- olic. Because many students are unsure of what college they are going to, because they aren't aware of the dif- ferent Catholic colleges available throughout the Midwest, Pius held a Catholic College Night on Janu- ary 13. After the program, one parent commented, I think it was an ex- cellent way for the parents to have an inside look at our Catholic Col- leges, and to discuss openly the many questions that concern us, the parents. This, stated Mr. Reigert, Pius guidance counselor, is a practical way of urging higher Catholic edu- cation. Designed to answer questions about college, the program roused more, according to Mr. Reigert, con- cerning students' particular abilities and achievements. Many students have signed for the National Merit Scholarship tests, an indicator of these. Pionites Take High Honors Three Pius upperclassmen have been honored for various scholastic achievements. Tom Stockfisch, Vice president of the Student Council, displayed his composition talent in an English contest sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of English. He received an honorable mention as one of the top 20 winners in Wisconsin. Bonnie Hansen, a senior, received the title Homemaker of Tomorrow for Pius, in a nation-wide Betty Crocker contest. Her entry, a 50- minute written examination, will be considered for a state scholarship worth 1,500 dollars, and for a 5,000 dollar scholarship as All-American Homemaker of Tomorrow. Junior Barbara Kro ll received third place in the city C.Y.O. essay contest. A 750-word piece titled A Catholic as a Voter obtained this award for Barbara.

'journali Staff Put ' in Practice One of the first things a journalist learns to include in his article is the five W's. WHEN: The fifteenth of each month, publishing date of Jourm1.l,' twen- tieth of each month, deadline for the next issue. WHERE: Pius XI high school, 117, a yellow-walled room consisting of scattered desks, a greenboard cam- ouflaged by notices, layouts and a three-foot calendar. A bulletin board is across from it. WHO: Ten seniors, nine juniors and moderator. WHAT AND WHY: News, sports and alumni pages combine efforts to interpret student activities. It con- centrates on the WHY and as the author of an article on the high school paper Cin the current To- dayj stated, It catches up the thoughts of the students in the process of formation and becomes for the school a living document of the worth of the school's educa- tion. Since a recent discussion with a Marquette professor of journalism, the staff has been re- thinking ways to do this more effec- tively. The consultant suggested that, since the Journal had departed already from the stereotyped school newspaper, staff members 3 should tend even more toward in- terpretation in news articles. Two sections of the paper are au- thored entirely by the student body. Giving everyone the chance to show his creative ability, Brief Candles appears on pages four and five. Any English assignment or free-lance writing may be submitted to the staff. Also for the students is the They Say page. Tom Check, the editor of this column, asks questions which are related to the editorial page. Editorials, the most important feature of this paper-magazine, ap- pear on pages 8 and 9. Editor-in- chief Larry Lock stated that the pur- pose of these pages is to stimulate students and wake them up to their responsibility as human beings. The how of the paper will be answered at the end of the month when the Pius Journal staff holds open house for all freshmen. Carol Schmidt In Memoriam . . . For them life is changed, not taken away. -Preface: Mass of the Dead Mother of Judy and Janet Water- mann, '62 and Mary Ellen, '59 Father of Betty Wojciechowski, '63 Mother of Joamie Batzko, '60 Fog Fog! Just what is that phenomenal thing that rolls in and out, drops down on a city, then lifts again? Is it mud or murk? Is it . . .? Now let's take a scientific view of the matter and go about it systematically. First, how does Webster define it? H'mm, f-fe-ah! Here it is, FOG- condensed water vapor in the atmosphere at or near the surface of the earth. That about covers him, so 1et's look at that condensed water vapor in the eyes of a poet, Carl Sandburg. In his poem Fog he says that The fog comes on little cat feet It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches then moves on. To round off our collection of opinions on the sub- ject, we'll take that of the novelist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, when he mentions fog in The Sign of the Four: A dense drizzly fog lay over the city. Mud-colored clouds lay low over the muddy streets. The lamps were but misty splothes of diffused light which threw a feeble glimmer upon the slimy pavement. Well, there's the evidence, form your own verdict. But to me it will always be the old familiar duck soup that is often too thick for even ducks to fly in without radar. wi e Blue Dark blues, Light blues, The blue in the sky, The blue of the weather.

Then taking the ball out of his glove with the right hand, he drew his arms behind himg and while slowly lifting his left leg into the air, he brought his right arm up from behind him. Tracing a downward arc with the arm, he fired the ball level with his shoulder. He watched it go straight toward the catchers mitt. While the pitcher wound up and delivered the ball, the batter nonchalantly drew the bat back until it was parallel with his right shoulder. Just before the ball streaked across the plate, the batter quickly snapped his wrists clipping the ball with the bat. He then took long strides towards first base. The ball cut through the air to center field. The fielder dashed towards the fence timing to the nth degree, jumped on the balls of his feet and, stretching his body, caught the ball and while heaving a sigh fell to the ground clutching it- John Weber 118 Whistle Wind Will you whistle for me, O wind, Whirling through the wasted world, Will you whistle for me, O wind, Whisking across the wilted plain, Whistle, whisk, whirl, bring the gentle rains.

A blur of green and power rushed to meet the demand, power that lurched through the shaft, causing fiery rubber to splatter the flag man. Tires grabbed the asphalt to pull victory to the lead-footed driver. Finally, as sud- denly as it had appeared, the power diminished. Skidding was heard as the cars scraped the pavement with their overheated tires. The observers were tensed to hear the time: 1'75 mph in 8:45 seconds, quoted the announcer as the half-hysterical crowd cheered the winner. Then with a smile of confidence, the victor cradled the trophy in his muscular arms.

Contardo, O.S.F. Vol. XXVI, No. 5 February 15, 1960 Personalities Plus . . . Q Otis Guides to Catholic Education I have a strong voice, particu- larly at home. Mr. Raymond Otis, admissions officer at Marquette uni- versity, may have a strong voice, but he also possesses a quick wit and clear, distinct speaking quality. This was witnessed as many listened to him speak at Catholic College Night, January 13. The past Syracuse, N.Y., resident and student emphasized that today, with government loans, monthly payment plans, jobs on the campus and scholarships, a Catholic educa- tion can be possible in the case of financial Worries. However, he did point out, If you use the excuse 'The reason I didn't apply was I didn't think I'd get it,' you're darn right! You'll never get one by not applying. Another way one has to apply is by adjusting to college atmosphere. Mr. Otis describes it as a sense of freedomg you're on your own and there's no pressure. He said that to meet this new freedom, you need re- sponsibility. Developing maturity and adulthood in the university or college is beyond the stage where parents should push. After twelve years the student should do his own pushing. Inattention, unreadiness for re- sponsibility, and intellectual imma- turity were stressed as three reasons why students fiunk out of college. What were Mr. Otis' views on a non-Catholic college education? The father of a Pius senior CAnnD, Otis stated that the philosophy of the education was dangerous: that undergraduates were too intellectu- ally innocent to recognize error. They also did not have the maturity to go out and find the answers to questions of philosophy that might arise in the classroom. Mr. Otis did feel, though, that if a student went to a Catholic college for four years, he could then attend a non-Catholic college because he would then have the philosophy and theology back- ground necessary. Janet Jacobchick Pro reading I have discovered several types of teachers at Pius. One of these is the quick-draw-with-the-quips type. Mr. Fenelon is a perfect example of this type. When Dennis Zazem que- ried the class for the definition of exhilarating, some girls offered such expressions as breath-taking and out of this world. To this Mr. Fenelon inquired, Are you defining the word or Dennis? Then there are those teachers who ..-I never miss catching anyone doing work in other subjects during class. Sister Reginia asked Bob Murphy if he was doing math during history. No, replied Bob, it's chemistry. Another type is Mr. Garret, who keeps a finger bowl handy on his desk to rid his hands of that messy yellow chalk dust. The worst type of all teachers is the delinquent . . . one like Mr. Manti, who forgets his French as- signment Ca likely storyj.

It seems that juniors Neil Casey and Dave Dehring have been doing a little extracurricular exper- imenting. They have cleaned up the results with the sponges. The chem- icals liked the sponges so well that they ate big holes in them. Neil Casey says that Dave Dehring did it. Thanks for the two bucks, Neil. Simple Simons Tom Custerman and Jim Braun, both of 313, went whaling in Mr. Drexler's fish tank. They attempted to harpoon the monsters with pen- cils, but they were unsuccessful. Anyway, fellows, whale oil doesn't bring much nowadays. John Flynn T ey Say... Do you know of any standards by which to judge art, such as in paintings, sculpture, literature? Many people today have a gross misconception of what art consists of. Anything that doesn't look like a photograph is Modern Art and they don't like it. Jerry Krause 312 Sonie standards by which to judge art, such as painting and sculpture, are balance, color, line, direction, area, texture, and so on. Marie Czarniak 405 The standards of real Art are balance, equalityg contrast, variety or differenceg harmony or rhythm, pleasing agreementg proportion, re- lation in size. Judy Wilman 516 How does areal ballet, play, or symphony differ from a television presentation? A play is the same whether seen on television or live on a stage. The effect it has on the individual is the difference. Jacqueline Hansen 326 In a ballet, stage play, or sym- phony the difference between tele- vision is evident. In television you don't get the feeling of mood. At a symphony, stage play or ballet, the feeling of the crowd and orchestra or atmosphere are always present. John Eich 405 If the play J. B. were to be pre- sented on television, it would lose all of its simple beauty. Donald Mitchell 216 A ballet, play, or symphony is more genuine in its purpose. A tele- vision presentation is solely made for entertainment. Ron Krueger 330 A real stage play, ballet, or sym- phony is really no better than a tele- vision presentation if the s a m e What is the title of the most Fil lflgrlfi I ll N ll ' iiillli ll i in G ' rn 1 ki i l il il-.

Ken Sipes 417 Now that I have seen a real stage play for the first time, I have come to realize what a great deal I had been missing. Never before did any- thing seem so real and true-to-life. Actually seeing the actor dramatiz- ing the play gives you the feeling of participation. Jean Caspary 230 recent book you read for your own pleasure or information? Would you recommend it to a friend? The Edge of Tomorrow by Thomas A. Dooley, M.D., is the latest book I read. I would recommend it to all of my friends. The reason for rec- ommending this book is the tremen- dous portrayal of this man's cour- age. To read about such a man conveys a certain human element which can be felt even without knowing the man. This book was both informative and entertaining. Ronald Mirenda 426 A well-planned book is easy to spotg it will hold continual interest and never confuse the reader. It will give clear brief descriptions. A real writer is an economist and this clear, down-to-the-point writing is the sign of a good book. Richard Block 424 I have read the interesting book of Anne Frank, the Diary of a Young Girl, a deeply moving story of ado- lesence that has become a classic of our time. It's a truly remarkable b o o k. Anne Frank's diary simply bubbles with amusement, love and discovery. It is a warm and stirring confession, to be read over and over for insight and enjoyment. Karen Anne Motzko 404 The title of my most recently read book is Young Folk's Uncle Tom's Cabin. I would definitely recommend this book, because it teaches equality of mankind, religious morals, and love for thy neighbors. Mary Alice Mich 407 When dance is mentioned, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? The mere mention of the word dance brings to my mind the past fantasy of graceful swirling move- ments but then today, of course, there is the shocking realization of the reckless risk of going out on the dance floor. Kathleen Wagner 407 The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear dance is move- ment and music. The dance varies with the style and kind of music. I think I like slow dances compared with some of the wild ones such as rock and roll. Carol Klein 405 When dance is mentioned, the first thing that comes to my mind is music. To me, music and dance are always partners. Each is beautiful and creative, but when blended to- gether they result in harmonious splendor. Sue Fetzer 417 When the word dance is men- tioned, the first thing that comes to my mind is girls. This may seem very funny, but you cannot dance without a partner. The other thing I think about is musicg you cannot dance without music. Tom Schaefer 513 To me, the word dance insinu- ates mood. It is the language of the body, the personification of the ab- stract. Through all a g e s people have expressed their thoughts and feelings by dance. When one dances, he gives rhythm to the emotions felt in him just as a poet does by giving an ode rhythm. Dance reaches its epitome with those who treat it as an art. These artists dance to give beauty and in- spiration to others. A prima bal- lerina can leave an audience in awe, contemplating ineffable cognition. Andrew Slaby 228 To Be ultur d... In the recent wave of existentialism and consequent repercussions, we have one of the most sneered at words in the history of semantics. That word is culture. The connotations this word has acquired will immediately alienate many who would not otherwise feel an aversion for it. You've heard people say, when speaking of some- one supposedly cultured, Well, you know he has a big home and a yellow Cadillac and he's cultured and that kinda stuff. Because a person has a houseful of serv- ants, a ten-car garage full of yellow Cadillacs, and a roomful of Rembrant does not mean he has culture. Wealth, though it may make it easier for a person to own valuable works of masters, does not insure a cultured mind. Culture, in the sense of contemplation, comprehension and appreciation of the aesthetically great, is basically the contemplation, comprehension and appreciation of something beautiful in its own existence, in its own na- ture, in its own being. The beauty or the usefulness of an object to our ultimate end is its only claim to existence. The Fabian release is pleasurable. We can assimilate it physically through our ears and do consequently react physically by pounding on what is near at hand or by strolling across the .dance floor. The important word here is physical. Since God is a pure spirit, and the pri- mary requisite for any cultural activity is a more per- fect alignment with the Godhead, any activity that ter- minates in a wholly physical display does not qualify as a cultural activity. Fabian here falls out. No one ever tires of beauty or is repulsed by it. But after the thousandth playing of Tiger our resistance to insanity begins to fray. Our hit records are hit for a month or two, then are tired of and discarded. This occurs because they are physical, not beautiful, and being physical, they, like too many strawberries, soon strain our ability to enjoy. But unlike the physical, the beautiful, because of its origin in an Eternal Beauty, does not fade Dance . . . Just as an experiment, turn to Dick Clark's American Bandstand in your spare moments between school and din- ner. Got it? Fine, now turn the sound off. Don't go into laughing fitsg these kids dance like this every day. Notice the grace in their gyrations and the smoothness of each step. You may turn the set off now and relieve your eyes. If TV would or could bring us ballet or modern inter- pretative dancing, we could try this experiment again. The results would not, however, be the same. Ballet and other forms of artistic dancing are graceful and pleasing to the eye even without music. I am not advocating that music should be abolished from dancing but rather embody the melody through movement. Neither do I advocate that we totally abstain from the Bandstand-Buddies-type dancing, little sister's tap dancing and the Fred Astaire-Ginger Roger type. The art of good dancing lies in the artistic pattern of movement, conveyed through discipline and natural tal- ent. Following these requisites, ballet and modern dance, as art forms deserve our attention. Ticket line forms at the right. Kathy Lennon nor do we ever tire of it. We may become accustomed to beauty but we never tire of it. You and I, as long as we are alive, will probably never see God. However, since our constant occupation must be to be more completely aligned with the Godhead, we must strive to realize Him in all things. Because beauty is one of the attributes of our God, it is our constant obligation to turn our minds to the beauty in what we create and dis- cover, both for the reflection of that of God in it and for the beauty of the object itself. Being created from physi- cal substance a work of art, in the form the artist has given it, must cause us to have a more refined awareness of beauty. It is this more acute sense of beauty which can bring us closer to a more perfect union with our God. The instrument we possess for comprehending and creating beauty is a nonphysical, permanent fixture, our mind as a counterpart of our immortal soul. The charcoal pencil, the oils, the sculptor's knife and the writer's pen are merely the instruments to present beauty to our physi- cal beings through our eyes and ears. The ability to ap- preciate exists only in the soul. Larry Lock Drama . . . On Thursday, January 21, you may have noticed a certain air of enthusiasm among the seniors. The reason for this enthusiasm was the Pulitzer-Prize-winning play J. B., which the majority of the senior class had attended the previous day. For many of the seniors this was their first encounter with a professional stage play, and judg- ing from their favorable comment, it won't be their last. Those persons who have never experienced a drama tend to put it on a par with a TV show or a movie, except for the difference in price. This is a grave misconception. To try to point out the differences in these media let's take the case of the seniors at J. B. First of all, the seniors were prepared ahead of time for the play so that they would have a better understand- ing of it. When a person turns on the TV set, he doesn't know what to expect. Another important factor is the immediacy of the stage play. The difference between watching a play on TV and viewing one in person is very similar to watching a football game on TV and seeing one in person. There is an inexplicable feeling when a person is right there, a sort of electricity. Lastly, and most important, are the after-effects of the stage play. At a stage play the spectator is made to think, to use his imaginationg if the play is a good one, he is left with a certain sense of beauty. This provides a sharp contrast to the TV viewer, who can gaze at his set for a full evening, turn it off, and be left with nothing except a dull, rectangular imagination. Father Greeley, in a recent Today article has an ex- ample that could be applied to drama. He compares a per- son Who has never tasted art to a person who is raised on a diet of rice and water. He might not think it makes any diiference that he has never tasted steak and apple pie ala mode, but those of us who have a chance to compare the two fares have no doubt that he is missing something very fine. If you have never seen a stage play, you are the man raised on rice and water, so why not put something new on your menu. Patrick McGrath Music... Hello there, kiddos. This is your old D. J. swingin' in. Let's start off with the number one record, Beetho- ven's 5th Symphony played by Arthur Rubenstein. The Mass: Beethoven! Rubenstein! Now wait a minute! What happens to the good old favorites like The Big Hurt ? I never heard of these other guys! The Elite: Never heard of them? Maybe that's your trouble. Perhaps it's time you discovered these guys and their works. And while you're at it, try contem- porary, classical, modern and jazz. The Mass: But I listen to my 45's every night. And any- way, I don't like that high-brow stuff. The Elite: How do you know you don't like it? Have you ever tried listening intently, seriously to a classical record? Have you ever switched the radio dial from A.M. to F.M. or picked up a book, such as What Is Jazz? I don't suppose you've ever gone on a date to a concert: our own Teen Concerts are a good start. We aren't saying you have to love Mendal or Krupa, but you should have a good taste and deep appreciation for these composers and their music. Judge it with an open mind and listen with your whole self. Music can be a great mental outlet and a wonderful form of relaxation. Have you ever tried to gather thoughts or concentrate on some throbbing problem with Hound Dog ringing in your ears? Music in the right sense is more than strumming a guitar, warbling and jumping around a room all at one time. Therefore, we the high-brow challenge you -the mass. Janet Jacobchick Literature . . . Have you ever noticed the atmosphere connected with various institutions? If so, the atmosphere of the book- store or library is probably apparent to you. Contrast the professional silence of the bookstore or library to the gaudy, cheap atmosphere of the paperback store. This is typical of the difference between the elite book Chard-covered editionsl and the mass culture book Cpaperback editionsb. The elite has that intangible some- thing that makes it great. When the same book is printed in the paperjacket, some of this culture is lost. This is not a condemnation of paperbacks Cnor does it mean that everything in hardback is greatj. They have a definite place in one's home. Some serve as a guidepost to develop- ing taste and as a means of acquiring books at a reason- able price. Where many paperbacks have their downfall is in the cheapness that is generated, the glorification of crime and sex, the poor taste in cover design, and the popularization Cnew, abridged editionj of many literary works. The trick lies in discrimination. The younger reader is smarter to play it safe and stick with good solid litera- ture as a steady diet. Through contact with these books, our taste can be assimilated to the finer works and the entire power behind the words can be realized. Robert Dirks Art... I don't like art. A guy's entitled to his own opinion, ain't he? I don't have to have a reason. I just don't like it. She said I ain't got no business saying that when I don't know nothing about art. What do you need to know about art? Either you like it or you don't. Then she started on football and asked why I call one guy a good lineman and another a lousy one. Before I could answer, she said a guy can't say a guard is good or not if he don't know what makes guards good. She says the same goes for art-if I say I don't like it, it's just like saying its no good, and how can I say art's no good when I don't know what makes art no good. By then she had me totally confused, so I handed her another point of my views. I don't get no pleasure from looking at art. She says she don't get no pleasure from no football game either, because she don't understand it. Then I said I don't want to understand art. Why should I? She said art is everywhere-in my chevy, in my bulky knit sweater, in my portable radio. Then she went into a three-minute spiel: Man has art when he is born. He doesn't acquire it, although he may lose it. Every man has a desire for art, unless it's destroyed by a steady diet of cheapness Cfalse art? which is a product of mass production. If you want to understand art, you have to relearn its language, which you have lost Clater on I found out that language means line, color, shape and all thatb. If you will let me, I'll teach you and you can teach me about football. Clmaginel me, a teacher.J I'm sure I'll get real enjoyment out of the football games once I understand it, and I know you'll get real pleasure from art once you give it a chance. Well, I breaks down and shows a tiny fiick of interest. Now I winds up with an art exhibit date next Sunday. I still don't like art, but she says that won't be for long.

Popes Alive at 7- What makes basketball the thrill- ing and highly competitive sport it is? It is the ability of a person or team to overcome handicaps by sheer desire and determination, and defeat a better team on a given day. Pius' basketball te am has accomplished this feat many times this season and from all indications they will continue to do so. I am very pleased, commented Coach McMahon, over the desire and enthusiasm that the boys have shown thus far. They are hustling all the time. This spirit has accounted for all of our successes this year, espe- cially in the Don Bosco and Memorial games. Individually Mac sizes up his first seven men this way: Gene Milner- a good o u t s i d e shooter and ball handler. Gene con- trols the game for the Popes. Jim Nothem-nothing but praise from Mac. Jim is a good ball han- dler and is by far the best defensive man on the team. He has a tremen- dous amount of desire and is the hardest working member of the squad. Lee Neitzel - a good outside shoot- er. Lee has been coming around in the last few games. Ray Muffler- good rebounder. Ray has a lot of potential. Terry Welter-a good rebounder and developing as a shooter. Pat Reardon-steadily improving as a rebounder and shooter. Carl Gee-improving as a shooter and a good rebounder. On the Don Bosco game the Popes had 21 rebounds in the first half. Of these 21, Carl had 11. Two more stiff games loom men- acingly in the Popes' future: Notre Dame and the fast-improving St. John's Cathedral. If the Popes can overcome these two opponents, the 1959-60 season will go down in the books as a very successful and sur- prising season. Due to the closeness of this year's conference race, the regionals could be profitable for Pius. The first game will pit Memorial against Dominican. The winner will play Marquette on the same night Pius plays Messmer. The winners of these two games will meet to decide who goes to the state tour- nament at the Milwaukee Arena. Earlier in the season Pius lost to Messmer and Marquette by two points each. Many things have happened in the interim to make this year's re- gional a real thriller. Mac confidently stated, If we play like we've been playing, we'll win the regional. Pat McGrath 14 Press Picks The choice of Gene Milner for this issue's Press Picks wasn't a hard de- cision. Gene, who couples with Jim Nothem at the guard position, has the job of setting up the team's of- fense. His repertoire of shots are a fine one-handed set shot, a better-than- average jump shot, but Gene's spe- cialty is stealing the ball and mak- ing difficult layups. I noticed in a recent interview with Gene that there was a gleam in his eye when I referred to some of his recent 20-point games. I ques- tioned the gleam and he replied, I get a personal satisfaction when I score 20 points. Jim Braun Sports Sidelines Senior homeroom 306 claimed the senior division intramural basketball championship last m o n t h. Home- rooms 234 and 215 made up the team which faced 306 in the final game. 306 also is the home of the senior di- vision's third high scorer, Wayne Scholz, who sank 60 points. Senior high scorer this year was George Blanchard 215. George topped the league with 86 points. Blanch- ard's team, though, was beaten by 306 in the final game. Mike Blank- enheim 234 followed in second place with 76 points. In the junior division homerooms 326 and 332 teamed up to make a champion squad. The junior champs beat the combination of 328 and 324 in the junior championship game. Fred Bucholz 328 is the junior high scorer this year. Fred's total was 60 points. Jim Braun's 38 points and Craig Phillips' 35 points were next. it -X- 'X- Something the old-timers will be mumbling about for some time is the late invasion of Horicon Marsh. It happened early in January, when the geese were still fiying south. On a Saturday morning three carloads of Pius Rod and Riflers poured into the marsh. Mr. Gosling, club moderator, approximated that six geese were brought down. Soon club members will lay down their rifies and pick up their fishing rods. Excursions are already being planned for the spring. Neil Casey Q 3, 5 . Coaehm Fun Have you ever hankered to be a football coach? I'll bet nine out of ten of you boys have. For the nine of you that have, have you ever con- sidered the trouble of the profes- sion? For information on this stren- uous job, I ran to the nearest suc- cessful football coach, Pius' Mr. Al Elger. For instance, could you go about teaching, your important job all day, when you have an important game over the weekend? Coach Elger does, though he added, I do think of football during class, especially on Friday when the tension builds up. And even the least of you can imagine what suspense that must be. Just for a moment put yourself in Mr. Elger's place. After a grueling Friday and Saturday, you come to Pius early Sunday morning to help Mr. Drexler arrange the articles needed for the game. After that task is dispensed with, you proceed to the coaches' office and plan the game's strategy with assistant Coach Basile. Finishing this about 11:00, you await the early stragglers Csome boys come early so they can have weak points tapedl. While you tape, you converse with the players, try- ing to rid their minds of the game. When all the players are uniformed and taped, the team gathers for one more talk. Next on the agenda is chapel, bus ride to the field, and the long 20 min- utes to the game, the final five min- utes to kick off' and the most gruel- ing two hours anyone can stand- the game. On top of this, imagine if the opponent s c 0 r e s first - oh, brother! One game down and six more to go! Besides preparing for next week's opponent, you have to cope with player attitudes, be a second father to your boys who bring prob- lems to you and carry 2,700 Pio- nites' hopes on your shoulders. Besides this, Mr. Elger is the father of two children, a Braves scout in the summer and a member of the Knights of Columbus and the Toast Masters Club. In this way the ex- Brooklyn first baseman keeps going all year round. That's it, fellas. Could you cope with tension? instill spirit and re- spect in the team? have solutions for family life, girl friends, school work or any other problem the player might come to you with- plus correcting 100 history papers a week? It's no wonder coaches have ulcers. Jim Braun Photo by Walter Zukowski Pius will shine tonight and so will Cathedral shine four Pius shoesl. 15 . .. ..... 7' , . -fl. ,. . - f if 1 .. ..

The Lighter Side Since the advent of Sputnik I, peo- ple have become greatly alarmed by one thing or another. One of the things they have attacked is the physical condition of our American youth. They say we are getting soft. Is this true? Let's follow a typical P i u s student through a school day. Herbert Zilch bounds out of bed in the morning at 6:30. He washes up, gets dressed and then sits down to a hearty breakfast of Cocoa Puffs. After devouring h i s breakfast, Herbie prepares himself for an out- ing more strenuous than any ath- letic contest. And talk about compe- tition -there is no greater competi- tion than the Battle of the Bus. To be a consistant winner takes real physical fitness. After a lengthy duration, Herbie arrives at school, and enters his homeroom. Ring-ng-ng-ng! There's the bell and he's off' and running to his first period class. A stiff-arm, a side- step, a line plunge and he's in there. This process is repeated eight times a day and when school is over, Herbie has to resume the Battle of the Bus. This daily routine is car- ried on five days a week for thirty- six weeks over a four-year period- for most. Maybe our American youth isn't capable of climbing Mt. Everest or swimming the English Channel, but at least a Pius graduate is condi- tioned to face the rigors of life in our modern world. Patrick McGrath typical n Stage . . . Alverno college's presentation for the month include The Elves and the Shoemahers with the Masquers, February 19-21, and the Roger Wag- ner Chorale on February 25. The Umbrian Troubadors attended a performance of Our Town at the Miller Theater, January 3. This great work by Thornton Wilder took on a new look through arena pres- entation. Also new, but not too agreeable was the humorous aspect applied to a number of characters and scenes which, Cin previous per- formancesj, have brought more tears than laughter. Nevertheless, the play, a first experience for many, was thoroughly enjoyed. Anton Chekov's The Cherry Or- chard was adequately received by an exceedingly youthful audience, Sunday, January 17 at Alverno. Set- tings and stage techniques were relatively simple, but effective. Cos- tuming and lighting played a part in the stage picture, but not a vital one. Wonderfully performed by the Canadian Players, the play moved slowly, but steadily toward its cli- max-the sale of a cherry orchard. From here, the play moved more quickly to its dramatically staged conclusion. Characters were so well portrayed, that even members of the audience new to the theater, ex- pressed personal feelings about them, a tribute to any actor. Kathy Niles Photo by Mike Poetzel Checking the scoring at a Pius basket- ball game are Jack Moroney '58 and George Gitter '58. Rejected Reporter n 'Sentinel' Staff When your name appears in the paper, surprising events may result. Dan DiLeo '56 had won a scholar- ship and received notice in the Mil- waukee Sentinel. Before long he was employed by the Sentinel as a telephone solicitor and then as a copy boy, a job he had already un- successfully applied for. Copy boy says Dan, is the lowest animal in the newspaper circus. Errand boy is a more appropriate title for copy boy, who besides regular office du- ties, carries coffee, cigarettes, cigars and sandwiches to members of the staff. While working, Dan also attended the Marquette School of Journalism during his first year out of Pius. A scoop on a murder and his knowl- edge of photography brought him his first break. He was promoted from the depths to TV Clerk, deal- ing with the television listings. Al- though his promotion was not too glamorous, it gave him experience in condensing stories and eased his disease of comma-itis. Very re- cently Dan, a boy rejected for staff while he was at Pius, was promoted to full-time reporter for the Senti- nel. Now having his own noisy type- writer in the cacophonous news- paper office, Dan says, When the editor bellers out your name, you've got an assignment and another dead- line to meet. General reporting takes in so muchg my assignments have delt with interviewing city officials, celebrities like Nick Adams and Kathy Nolan and reviewing new shows and acts appearing in Mil- waukee. Specialization confines a reporter to one subject, Di Leo said, but the Nice Goin Sophomore Christmas skitters would like to thank Sister Pulcheria for her time, advice and generous interest in the Sophomore German Christmas Assembly held on Decem- ber 21. Sister Hyacinth thanks teachers and student body for cooperating so fully during the taking of homeroom pictures. 16 variation and firsthand experience in general reporting are needed for his career. Graduating only four years ago, Dan is very happy with his progress. He plans to carry on with journalism. He also states that he does not expect to write the greatest American novel, but will settle for the second greatest Ameri- can novel. Kathy Lennon Variety 0 Fields Uccupy Alumni Dancing her way through two for- mer senior class plays, The Robe and The Little World of Don Camilla, Por- tia Richert '58 is again stepping into the act.

Seniors will re- member her as the one who showed them stage poise and evaluated their dancing skill in the tryouts for Sev- enteen. Guy A. Dennis '59, presently en- rolled at U.W.M., is Representative Clement Zablocki's principal nominee to the Air Force academy at Colorado Springs, Colorado. With preliminary tests completed, he has only the physi- cal examination and placement test before he is admitted. While at Pius, Guy was kept busy as an F.T.A. president, Key club officer and Journal staff member. If he is admitted, he will join two other Pionites, Bill Lindner '58 and Jack Ott '58, who were previously accepted. John Genke, editor-in-chief of the '58 Pius Journal staff, now attends Marquette university, occupying his time with the Marquette Players.

Kennedy's topic, Leadership and Education, will carry out the convention theme Q Leadership Through Better Citi- zenship J and will be viewed again in the afternoon talk by Miss Norma Rathbun, director of the Central Youth Library of the City of Mil- waukee. Kennedy comes prepared to speak of things educational. Former Navy man and newspaperman, he gradu- ated from Harvard in 1940, cum laude. Later he attended the London School of Economics and holds 18 honorary degrees. These include de- grees from Notre Dame, Loras, Bos- ton, Harvard, Syracuse. Holds Other Awards The Senator received the Cardinal Gibbons award from Catholic uni- versity in 1956 and the Patriotism award from Notre Dame in 1957.

Conveys Conference Conclusions Just returned from the White H 0 u s e Conference on Education, Miss Rathbun will report on this decade meeting, held this year from March 27 to April 1. Since this im- portant conference will emphasize the social, moral and spiritual val- ues which govern today's youth, her report to the Student Council dele- gates should be most rewarding, commented Sister Christopher, mod- erator of Pius' Student Council. Schools Throughout State Invited Invitations have been extended to over 75 student councils of district IV, the largest in Wisconsin area, and surrounding districts, to con- vene in the Pius gymnasium. When all the delegates have regis- tered in the outer lobby, a general session will follow with C h u ck Burke, council president, presenting the call to order. The presentation of the flag, the welcome address by Father John B. Becker, principal, introduction of the executive com- mittee of the Wisconsin Association of Student councils will open the convention. The keynote address will be followed by discussions, the most important concerning the standards, aims and powers of a Stu- dent Council. Reach Conclusions Through Conventions The aims of a student council, or any other organization, may vary from school to school but through council conventions, several conclu- sions have been reached: that it must foster, promote and develop good citizenship principles in a Christian democracy. An administration, whether in a Catholic or a public high school, delegates the power which any stu- dent council may have. The more responsible, dependable and mature council officers are, the more power they are allowed by the administra- tion. Everyone Belongs A service organization, aiding the administration and benefiting the students, it is elected by the stu- dents, for the students are their ofli- cial representatives in matters of concern to the entire school, Sis- ter Christopher, moderator of the Student Council continues, there- fore each individual student is a member.

Principal Father Becker holds that no instruction program of a modern comprehensive high school would be complete without co-curricularsf' Fulfill Objectives The overall educational objectives of the high school curriculum are rounded out, completed and supple- mented by co-curriculars. The co- curriculars bear a close relationship to the scholastic aims and for this reason school time is allowed for them. Father Becker indicated that both component parts of man's na- ture, soul and body, are included in intellectual objectives. At Pius co-curriculars are ofli- cially defined as being all those pursuits of a worthwhile cultural nature, such as music, fine arts, de- bate, forensics, dramatics, etc., which may be carried on during school hours and receive academic credit. Extra-curriculars, including all forms of sports, and social activities carried on outside of school time, are more remotely related to the im- mediate educational objectives of a high school and are thereby distin- guished from co-curriculars. Explained to Incomers In keeping with its educational objectives, Pius offers in the line of co-curriculars band, choral reading, debate, ballet, orchestra, chorus, speech, dramatics and journalism. Each of these plus speech correction and reading improvement will be represented in an informative as- sembly for incoming freshmen and their parents the night of March 18. Sister Hyacinth explained that putting on this assembly will save time in registration, since many of the future Pius students know little of the nature of these co-curricu- lars.

Censorship is not the complete re- striction of individual f r e e d o m. Rather its purpose is to direct the use of individual freedom in so far as it adects the common good of so- ciety. While the need for censorship is generally recognized, there is a wide divergence of opinion as to what ex- tent and by whom censorship should be imposed. Pius delegates to the Catholic Stu- dent Better Government Council, Kathy Conway 313 and Marjorie Laughrin 322, presented a bill which would establish a state censorship committee to stop the distribution of immoral and indecent literature. The committee, composed of three publicly elected members, would set up its own standards by applying community morality standards, ex- isting laws and conscience. In the viewpoint of Father Ray- mond Parr, director of the Legion of Decency in Milwaukee, this type of censorship presents many draw- backs. For instance, the commit- tee's standard of morality would be a minimum standard, covering only the most basic principles of moral- ity. Also the moral quality of the committee members could not be guaranteed. Under these conditions it is ap- parent that the only e f f e c t i v e method to insure the stoppage of in- decent and immoral literature is for each individual to uphold and insist upon high moral standards for him- self and his community. Mary Ellen Haberstroh McGrath Cast For '1 ' Lead After the record run of last year's senior cast play, director Mr. Fran- kiewicz will attempt to surpass it with this year's production of Seven- teen. After weeks of elimination the principals were announced as fol- lows: Joan Leising, Bob Beaudry, Jim Becker, Sue Hartman, Tom Check, Bob Weishan, Jerry Bertram and Patrick McGrath in the lead. Both Toni Mille and Janice Hansen are rehearsing in the part of Lola Pratt. Mr. Frankiewicz made it clear that the cast was selected not for one talent but a combination of three talents: acting, singing and dancing. Other parts have gone to Jim Mur- taugh, Mary Goetter, Karen Jensen, Joan Boerner, Carol Fredrickson, Georgiann Kish, Judy Guenther, Carol Hird, Jack Versnik, Bill Erick- son, Bruce Meier, Jim Becker, Ed Bruns and Kathy Niles. Seventeen is a lighthearted musical comedy packed with bounce and fri- volity. It's a good bet to surpass last years accomplishment. Bob Dirks Spiritual Lyle Put in Focus The spiritual life of the students comes into focus with opportunities of days of recollection and retreat. Pius YCSers are invited to Mess- mer's YCS day of recollection March 27 where the students' role as apos- tles will be discussed. Mary in Our Life was the theme on March 1, the last of three sepa- rate days of recollection held at Pius. According to Father Zimmer, one of the 20 Pallottine priests involved, the reasons for the three separate days instead of the former three consecutive days are that the stu- dents find it difficult to stay seri- ously recollected for such a period of time and that the facilities are not s u it a bl e. Also, as Father pointed out, the individual has more frequent opportunities for be- ing reminded of his spiritual duties. Senior girls attended a closed re- treat February 23-25 at the Cenacle. Father Kevin Clay, S.D.S., was their retreat master. mi 'i' . 1 Photo by John Fenske Freshmen Frank Kehrin and Dick Goeb stand by as Carole Cier delivers her speech to a homeroom as a part of the freshman current events assembly put on by Sister Austin's history classes. Eisenhower Subject of Frosh Assembl Eisenhower, Man of the Year was the matter for the February 16 freshman assembly put on by Sister Austin's three world history classes. Throughout the year, Sister's classes have been studying current events as a part of their course. When presenting a current events assembly was mentioned, some stu- dents thought it ridiculous to put on something everyone knew about. To prove their point, the students sur- veyed a few of their friends. They returned enthusiastic for an as- sembly. Creating interest in 20 minutes and getting 98 students into an as- sembly were the problems that had to be faced. Fifteen groups of six students visited homerooms, each group member giving a short speech on one of these topics: Algeria, Cuba, India, Red China. To test the students' knowledge of c u rrent events they also took a survey and put pictures of world leaders in each homeroom with the caption, What do you know about this World leader? and changed them daily for ad d e d interest. The groups did these things about a week before the assembly. . 3 The assembly began with a short skit. Next a panel discussion was held on why Eisenhower was chosen Times' Man of the Year and on the impact of his trip. At the end, awards were given to the winners of the survey taken previously in each homeroom. Schaefve Ups Science Interest Stimulating student interest in science and scientific careers, Mr. Marvin F. Schaeve presented lec- ture-demonstrations to Pius' science classes and teachers on February 22-25. One of 20 high school science teachers carefully selected for this, he arrived in a station wagon filled with demonstrational equipment. This equipment, made by Mr. Schaeve and fellow teachers, can be easily duplicated. Mr. Schaeve, whose original job is being a science teacher at East high school, Madison, holds the bachelor of arts degree and the master of arts degree from the University of Wis- consin. What About Poetry? Poetry is very enjoyable for me because it gives me a look at something in a way I might never have thought of myself. Sometimes a poet can express his own thoughts on a subject and set us to thinking. It's good to iind out how another person feels about something. We can get awfully bored with just our own outlook. Through poetry we can gain a fresh outlook on life and living. Mary Ellen Burke 313 Poetry is something which must not be hastily glanced upon and termed whether good or bad, useful or useless. It has to do with man's feelings and thoughts, and as such cannot be accurately judged by most other men. Poetry is the expression of man's innermost secrets, his most concealed emotions, in a manner which is pleas- ing to the ear. This self-expression is most necessary to a man, as one of life's biggest problems is being misun- derstood. If this self-expression is put in pleasant form, what more can be desired?

Personal honesty, in my opinion, is something that comes from with- in. You have to be honest with yourself inside in order to be honest on the outside. If you cheat others you are only cheating yourself. Colette Czerwinski 320 I would define personal honesty as one's own sense of honor. It is be- ing individually upright and fair in dealing. It is truthfulness and sin- cerity done by oneself not by a rep- resentative. Kitty Enders 407 What does the honest person have that the dishonest person doesn't? You'll find it's a strong self-respect that has evolved from a strong moral character. John Krieger 315 Personal honesty is that quality that enables you to look at yourself and to evaluate your actions the right Way and not through the built- up vision you have of yourself. It means being genuinely true to your- self. Barbara Campbell 334 Personal honesty is that by which a person makes use of his true apti- tudes to the greatest possible extent. Jerry Krause 312 Personal honesty is being honest to one's self. It means doing things you know are right and accepting what is right. Mary Fogarty 407 I find no shocking lack of honesty. If there is such a lack, it is very subtle, and cunningly camoutlaged People hide their lack of honesty under the guise of stupidity. Ann Fochs 334 T ey Say...

In my opinion the Pius Journal is an excellent newspaper. It has its current events page, and its sports page, but the editorial pages are like that of no other school paper. In the Journal, the students are given a chance to express their opin- ion on a certain question in the They Say section. There are ex- cellent essays in every issue. Dick Olivetti 207 The paper is the organ of expres- sion for the school itself, and the school exists for training the intel- lect. The students .should contribute articles to the paper to make it the real expression of the students' needs and achievements. Kathy Alonge 324 I think the Pius Journal is supe- rior to most high school papers in the state. The Pius Journal is an excellent means of training future journalism students. The pictures are an interesting part of the Pius Journal. Lee Neitzel 230 Never would I be willing to change our Pius Journal to a mag- azine. As I understand from the article the magazine only looks into the future and I think most of us like to look back on things. Jim Panenka 205 6 is there a particular lack of I feel that there is a lack of hon- esty in our modern materialistic so- ciety. It appears everyday in every- thing we do and see. In school, the constant cheating in testsg in the business, the fight for the almighty dollar, and in the home, the dis- obedience to family rules. The cure for this disease of dishonesty is the reappearance of the commandments in everyday life. Ron Rewolinski 230 There seems to be a particular lack of personal honesty in the so- cial phase of everyday life. Many people set themselves up with high standards and brag to others of them. When they're by themselves, or with other companions, they don't even try to come close to practicing these standards. Sandy Cooper 313 Student life seems to be a phase of life in which there is much dis- honesty. Students are dishonest with themselves by not spending enough time on studiesg this forces them to copy assignments. This cheats themselves. As a result of this, they have to copy on tests be- cause they haven't studied and done their own assignments. This not only hurts themg it also hurts fel- low students as marks are likely to be curved. Pat Coon 318 A man's reputation is worth more than silver or gold. A reputation that is based on a solid foundation of personal honesty is the most precious possession a man can have. Barry Gerraghty 405 I feel that there is a particular lack of honesty in school. Everyday you hear, Can I have your Latin? Can I copy your geometry? I think this is unfair to the person who goes through pains to do his own work. Also, I have observed some students copying answers off the board as the assignments are corrected in class. This also is un- fair.

Imagine, then, this joy after going through the experience 1,100 times, as Miss Marion Pehow- ski has. In 20 years, that is how many stories and articles she has had in print. Once you have something in print, you're hooked, she com- mented. The Milwaukee resident attended Holy Angels Academy, went on to college and worked for a Bachelor and Master's Degree of Journalism. She also studied at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, on a Fulbright Scholarship. To study newspapers of different parts of Europe was the pur- pose of the aid.

This Christmas Eve she received a telegram and a check for S1000 from Post magazine for a short story entitled, Why Isn't a Nice Girl Like You Married? Even with all her acception slips, she holds that rejection slips are good. When you've acquired two boxes of rejection slips you can consider your- self no longer an amateur.

I do a great deal of thinking and planning before writing. I don't believe in people who wait until they're in the mood, put a piece of paper in the typewriter and a great big spiel comes out. She also brought out that reading was very necessary for writing be- cause it was a form of exercise that gave the mental muscles a chance to stretch. Janet Jacobchick Don't Blame Me Pius enjoys a delightful diversity of last names. They're anything from Cornwall to Van Winkle with Deglman, Dumke, F a s s b e n d e r, Friedberger, Grossklaus, Gruetz- macher, Hanratty, Jones, Kogutkie- wicz, Laubenheimer, M c G e e, Mc- Grath, Mersberger, Mullarkey, Odle, Pulvermacher, Smoody, Schlumpf, Schuepferling, Scheibengraber, Snook, and Smith to finish the mix- ture. Some Pius names remind me of birds. There's Allard, Babcock, Dof- fing, Fink, Fleming, Jennerjohn, Lamping, Peroutky, and Robinsen. And some others bring teachers to my mind. There's Becker, Drex- ler, Rau, Grover, and Whalen. And if I get far-fetchy about it, there's Regur, Justin, Frankwicz, and Hel- ler. Serving a dual purpose, some are last names and adjectives: Curley, Daley, Gayer, Hopefi, Lauder, Loose, Shallow, Slack, Small, Searing, Sin- cere, White and Braun. Others are verbs: Boyle, Byrne, Check, Foster, Fuss, Grant, Grod, Hird, Hopp, Lynch, Lock, Reck, Steir and Wehr. Finally, I discovered some china- men among my cohorts: Fenzl, Langkau, Mineau, Shong, Loo and Rau. What's in a name anyway? Pat Hoff Well Honestl . . . To be honest as this world goes is to one man picked out of ten thousand. So said Shakespeare. What say you? Look around at your buds, your assignment bor- rowers, your Catholics, and while you're looking, take a look at yourself. You say you think that quote might read one man picked out of a hundred thousand and still be giving the benefit of the doubt. But one little as- signment does not make that much difference, a little self-deception is necessary, a little winking in business is just so much business. Well, why not go all the way in your rationalization of the truth and wink at the Brinks brothers and every other crook? You say that would be foolish because society then would be upset and you could not live safely. Well, what of the person! Can he live sanely with his own distortions of honesty? Can we expect a society that is made up of such persons to be any better than our present society Intellectual honesty precedes any profession of it. Without this, all acts are performed either as children perform them, by rote, or as many adults perform them, because everybody's doing it. This inner honesty of the mind amounts to squaring with ourselves. We know what we are. All actions must bear out what we have decided. To allow anyone or any- thing to interfere with our reaching our goal is to be dishonest with ourselves in the most elementary way. If we want to lead any kind of a Christian life and do not want to admit to the basic honesty of the mind, we will find self-deception an unhappy and demanding Way and will probably end up in hell for all our self-righteous sweat. Most of us take that stuff we learn in religion class to be just so much more to memorize. Why? Because we have failed to make those principles a part of our own purpose for existence? Because we have classified them as part of something we learn for school and then aban- don when the instance for which they were meant ar- rives? Or because, after all, they are something to be re- cited and not practiced? Some people are under the impression that there is going to be a big moment sometime in the vague far off when they will have to decide which way they're going. Up until that time they think they'll slough off. They think that when that moment comes they will simply de- cide the right way and that will be the end of the ques- tion. Can a man who has never used his legs suddenly jump up and run? We cannot wait for the big moment to employ our convictions. It must be a daily effort at at- taining a more perfect honesty, a more perfect realization of our Source and our Goal. Now we are attending an institute of education. The purpose of any schooling is to prepare and condition the human mind for further use and assimilation of knowl- edge. If we choose to neglect our school work, we are very simply and obviously doing harm to ourselves. If we use our Ufriends' assignments we are still neglecting our own education. These things are not in line with achieving the purpose of education and cannot be classi- fied as an honest action toward that end. Failing to say what we think in any discussion is saying that we have nothing to say when we are saying nothing because we're a little weak in the knees or because we think it doesn't matter what we say. Doing research work for the grades alone with no attempt to make what we have written worthwhile by making it a part of our sum knowledge is not being honest in research. Also in subjects where we learn to evaluate things CEnglish, history, etc.l, there must be a conscious carryover into what we pass judg- ment on in daily existence. An examination of self is the only way we can ap- proach a life honestly. When we look closely, practically our every word or action is revealing our sense of hon- esty. Our honesty with ourselves in our choice of voca- tions, in our choice of and treatment of friends, honesty with ourselves in our schoolwork and its application in mind development, and finally, the most essential, honesty with our God. Larry Lock ver 'Twent -one' Charles Van Doren, Victim of Circumstances, was the theme of many recent articles about a man whose actions were widely condoned and seldom criticized. Generally, the attitude of the public was one of total indifference. Indifference such as this outlines the basic error in modern thinking caused by a lack of per- sonal honesty. As the basic moral principles of man have never changed, the blame for this lack of honesty must be laid to the modern Way of thinking which seems to char- acterize all of our actions. This modern, materialistic way of thinking encourages us to follow the crowd and seek immediate good, Cconveniencej regardless of the means used, or the damage done to ourselves or others. Cheating in all forms and its social acceptability is evidence of this faulty method of achievement. On the local scene, the attitude is much the same. The revised edition of SCM CSimplified Cheaters' Manualj, if made available, would be a best seller in many area schools. Acceptance of cheating such as this seems only to widen the gap between moral principles, thoughts and result- ing actions. On the other hand, to be considered dis- honest by friends would be one of the greatest of degra- dations, thus illuminating the fact that the basic moral code of honesty is still respected in individuals. The solution, then, to this lack of expressed personal honesty, is realization with a resulting action. This can best be accomplished by a periodic inventory of our personal moral principles, channels of thought and every-day actions, and the organization of them into a positive, unified pattern of action. The search for, and acceptance of these qualities in others, is a necessary addition. Tum Check In Memoriam . . . Earth has not covered tlzemg heaven has received them. Mother of Sister Roselyn Father of David Nowak '62 Honest to God When you hear the word vocation does a picture of a pious priest or a holy nun flash in your mind? When you come across an article concerning it, you skip itg when the religion teacher begins the topic, you begin doodling .... If so, join the rest of us who close our mind and ears and eyes to anything that refers to that ugly word think or to an even uglier one, work. We like life the way it is. We don't go for the big bla bla bla about making something of our lives. We want to be Joe Joneses all our lives. What we don't see is that the world needs us- each and every one. Does that sound ridiculous? Before we go to our happy hunting ground, part of the world should be different because of us. That's where our vo- cation lies. In that Ctiny though it may bel, part of the world that needs me - as a person and you - as a person. How do we go about finding these poor unfortunate people who are awaiting our advent? Will they notify us by mail, by phone or in person? When is the big moment? We won't find these people until we find ourselves. We have to sit down and think. What an idea, heh? We have to look at ourselves with an honest eye and see what we really are. After we shed all our coats of fakeness, follow the crowdness, good Joe-ness we discover a PERSON -a person who was made person to help other people become persons. Before we get too confused, let me explain that since the whole idea of vocation is so intangible, there is no for- mula we can all take, no special pill to swallow. We sim- ply have to prescribe to ourselves. An honest look at what we can or cannot do - ability- wise-and at what we should or should not do, will help us to decide wherein our vocation lies. After we take this honest look, we have to take an honest step in that direc- tion, no matter how impossible it may seem. But wait! We can't stop there. We must take many honest steps. It won't be too hard for us to find people in need of help but it will be hard giving it to them. Let's not join the many babbits who say, Who me? No, I don't have a vocation. Let's face it, we all have one. Have you found yours yet? Pat Hoff As This World Goes Dear Judy, I plopped myself down in study hall and, having nothing' to do, I remembered your unanswered letter on my dresser. Don't mind this paper. Some drip in the next seat loaned it to me. I don't buy notebook paper any more. Some sucker always gives me some. It's much cheaper. It's the same with homework. Like they say, there's a sucker born every second. This is really some nort next to me. You should see him now, cramming homework away like mad into his ugly head. One thing that I can bear is the soda he buys me after school. I wish you could see the kids in this study hall, Judy. It looks more like rows of comic strips instead of kids. Honestly, every time I walk out of here, I leave with fewer pens and pencils. Some kids must be starting a collection. There was a party last Saturday night, and I wore a new chain that I found in school. It's just darling. Dad asked me what time I got in and I told him 12:00. Mom and Dad both were sleeping so neither of them knew that it was 2:30. I can't see why they are so old- fashioned. Maybe when you come to town next we'll have another party. By then I should have my car, then the gang won't have to sneak on the bus with one pass. Sincerely, Karen If Shakespeare's estimate is right, out of this entire school of 2,700, it's frightening to think that there may not be one wholly honest person. Why? A more subtle type of dishonesty is cheating. Not necessarily cheating on exams but the little What's the answer to number four? that feathers the nest of dis- honesty. The sucker that is born every minute may seem the innocent bystander but is actually the breeder and care- taker for dishonesty. Sucker is the so-called friend: the one with the ugly personality but beautiful money, the supply-store in the next seat who loans to every- body, the chump who gives you the answer to number four, the cutie who sneaks through the back door of the bus, the girl who passes her school pass out the window to let her buddy on and all the finders-keepers. Since charity and honesty are so closely related, then as Shakespeare says there are 9999 dishonest and prob- ably uncharitable, men from 10,000.

To make little lines and scratches on paper? Hardly. As C. S. Lewis put it, To say the very thing you mean, the whole of it, nothing more or less or other than what you meang that is the whole art and joy of words. That is writing. The Second 'Writing Workshop was held in Sister Poverello's English II classes on February 2, 3 and 4, to discuss writing and its problems. This question was raised. How do you write? For example, if you have a writing assignment, do you spend most of the class musing, clicking your pen and then feverishly pound out your ideas in the last minutes or do you fill reams of paper with half- sentences until you get an idea? Each method may be different but the end is the same, to write. On the first day, Mr. Boudreau, English teacher and future novelist, impressed upon the class Aristotle's Photo by Leon Plosznj How to write, that's the question of these sophomore future writers as they listen to and take notes on Mr. Boud- reau's lecture. The workshop was held February 2 through 5. teaching that a story must have a beginning, a middle and an end. He also stressed the questions which must be answered in a short story or novel. Sister Contardo, Journal moderap tor, spoke about rewriting and re- writing the rewriting. Some facets 13 of journalistic writing were dis- cussed, especially the editorial, with those poltergeists the deadline and word limit. To solve these: rewrit- ing. In the seventh period class, staff editors Larry Lock, Patricia Hoff and Patrick McGrath discussed the same problems. Finally, methods of characteriza- tion were puzzled out. The problem, to make a character realg solution, write within your experience and put yourself, unglorified into the charac- ter. Writing, assigned each day and judged by Journal staff members, will receive awards. This suggests that to improve you must write. Write in Latin or French or German or even in English but WRITE and keep on writing.

It was Pius' ball out-of-bounds at mid court. Milner passed the ball in bounds to Nothem in the backcourt. The only one who seems to enjoy track practice is Jim Denomie. O Colds Run for Title With spring just around the cor- ner most of us are thinking of sunny days and warm nights. A small number are preparing for the com- ing track season. Under Mr. Garrot's prompting, these boys begin the long process of preparing for another championship. At first glance, this task may seem difficult because of the loss, through graduation, of Ron Wied, record- breaking hurdlerg Mike Feeney, an- other record breaker, this time in the discusg Dave Theisen in the high jump, Hank McManus in the half mile and record-holding star miler, Dave Emerson. But the job of replacing these boys is not as bad as it may seem. Bart Thompson can throw the discus and Charlie Yahnke, state broad jumper champ, is preparing to take the place of Ron Wied, Fred Buc- holz is undertaking the job of re- placing Theisen. Jim Denomie and Pat Mitten are running the half mile and just might do it while award-winning Dick Olivetti runs the mile, ably assisted by Ron Theis. Pius' track team has a lot to live up to, for last year's team was the state champion. Name all the losses through graduation you want, and you still have Bob Heller, sprint champion of the last two years, and Bart Thompson, the best man with the shot put in the state, plus Carl Gee, returning letterman. To add depth to all this, there are Bob Hau- enstein and Dennis Dwyer in the pole vault, Fred Shibilski in the quarter, and Mike Dineen and Jim Ronyak on the weights. Adding to the strength in the hurdles are Wayne Hurab and Dick Peters. The call for B-team track will be- gin sometime in April. Jim Braun 14 Point Nothem took a long two-handed set shot which had the distance, but it was a few inches off to the right. This finish was not too unique. Pius has had a lot of them this sea- song some they won and some they lost. At this writing the Popes have a 9-'7 record with one venture. This should be an easy win for Pius and bring their final record to a com- mendable 1O-7. This is a favorable contrast to last year's record. This year's scoring statistics for 16 conference games are as follows: Total Average Milner 179 11.2 Neitzel 138 8.6 Gee 122 7.6 Nothem 116 7.3 Reardon 87 5.4 Welter 71 5.0 Mufiler 49 3.6 Future Looks Good Looking ahead to next year, Pius cage future looks very bright indeed. They possess a great deal of board strength in Ray Muffler, Terry Wel- ter and Pat Reardon, who are all ex- perienced from this year. Filling in at the guard spots will be Ricky Theisen and possibly Sal Maglio, al- though some of these boys might lose a spot to an eager boy from the team. Seniors Carried Load Although the Popes were fortu- nate to have the tall sophomores, the seniors still carried most of the load throughout the season. Gene Milner was the team's leading scorer this year and was responsible for clinching many of the close ones. Every team has a sparkplug and Pius no exception. Jim Nothem took over this job for the Popes by his constant hustle and chatter. Jim was about the best all-around player on this year's squad as a result of his fine defensive play and scoring ability. Neitzel was the deadeye of the team, when his jump shot was on he couldn't be stopped. Carl Gee came around at the end of the sea- son and developed into one of the best shooters and rebounders on the team. The 59-60 season is ready for the record books, but it won't be forgot- ten for all the thrills it provided. Patrick McGrath ' And it's Loomis by a nose in a recent B-team action against Bosco. The Lighter Side As a result of a recent article in Today magazine entitled The Case of the High School Newspaper, many of the faithful sports fans have started to voice complaints. The article struck out at high school newspapers and at the sports pages in particular. It complained that the sports page printed old news that everyone in the school knew about. It went on to say that the sport pages print the same news every year Cfootball in the fall, bas- ketball in the winter, and baseball, track and golf in the springl. You could take the previous year's paper and, with a few minor alterations, reprint it. V V V I am not an unreasonable man, so I went to see the faithful moderator of the Pius XI Journal. As a pos- sible bodyguard to my problem, I suggested that we convert the edi- torial, creative writing and news pages into sport pages, so that I would have room to put some variety in my sport pages. Then for some unexplainable reason Sister fell in- to a stupor and started mumbling things like literacy, ethics, Charlie Brown, values and Red Smith. At this point I got up and left, feeling that she was going to say no anyway. V V V With the failure of my first plan, I went into deep meditation as to how I could dig up some new news. After lengthy contemplation I hit upon an idea: I'll introduce a new sport here at Pius. V V V To find a sport which I could in- troduce at Pius, I r u m m a g e d through various books. Finally I discovered a very unique sport, which was popularized by the an- cient Aztec Indians called tlachtli. The object of this game is to hit a rubber ball with the knees or hips through a hole in the wall. This feat is so difficult that whenever it is accomplished, the friends of the athlete are permitted to ransack the crowd and take everything they can get their hands on Cjewelry, clothes, etc.D. 7 V V We could adapt this to Pius by converting the gym into a tlachtli court. Next we would challenge our archrivals, Marquette, to a game. Then when one of our men knees the ball through the hole, all the Pius spectators will storm the Mar- quette side and . . . But I can tell no more because that would ruin all the news. Two things are sure, how- everg scandals will flourish a n d yellow journalism will reign on the Pius XI Journal. Moderators note: Literacy, ethics, Charlie Brown, 'values and Red Smith . . . Patrick McGrath Press Picks With basketball season coming to an end, attention switches to the track team. Since the sprinters and long-distance runners seem to get more publicity than the boys in the field events, we turn this column to one of the field athletes. Chuck Yahnke, star broad jumper, is the athlete of the month. Charlie set a new broad jump record in last year's state track meet, the five points for this feat helping Pius add another championship trophy to the glass case. Assistant coach Bou- dreau d e s e r v e s recognition for coaching Chuck. Mr. Garrot, Varsity track coach, has a new problem besetting him. Replacing Ronnie Wied, star hurdler of last year's team, is a tough job, but it seems that Charles is out to replace him. Thus far in practice Yahnke looks great. Jim Braim 15 is on Top This year's squad is the most outstanding team I have ever coached. These were Coach Mil- ler's comments on his champion fresh-soph basketball team, as they cinched the Catholic conference ti- tle last month. The team displayed the excellent 18 and 2 record this season. Only one of these losses was a conference set- back. This game, played against Cathedral in a disputed double over- time, Pius lost 38-36. The squad re- venged this game by beating St. John's in a later game. West Allis Central dealt the other loss to the B-team. An especially good five starters is one of the more outstanding reasons for the team's success. The live starters were John Loomis, Mike Hohner, Tom Fitzpatrick. Fitzpat- rick, the team's high scorer, tallied up 147 points as of the third last game. Another contributing factor which aided the team is the height dis- played in the forwards and center. Mr. Miller mentioned that these three boys average 6 feet, the guards being slightly shorter. In the first few games the J.V.'s exhibited the fast break, then later in the season surprised their oppo- nents with deliberate control basket- ball. Boys from this team will be, without doubt, accepted eagerly by the varsity. Neil Casey Lassie come home! Actually it's Chuck Yahnke at track practice. 1 :IL ' 4' .

After three weeks of rehearsal, our stage-happy friends have learned a number of lessons. Singing, usually the weak point of any high school pro- duction, is strengthening daily as Sister Cecile demands more and more of each cast member. You don't realize how well you kids catch on, was Joan Leising's remark to the dance cast, straining and aching to perfect their routines. Most progress has been made in the characteriza- tions by Patrick McGrath, Jerry Ber- tram and Bob Weishan, who have come a long way in a relatively short time. The overall picture is definite im- provement, but the entire cast agrees that they're far from opening-night excellence. On Stage . . . Here's a specialty for Senior Eng- lish students. The Miller Theater, on April 5, will present Hamlet starring Ray Boyle. Mr. Boyle is also the di- rector at the Miller and this produc- tion appears to be one of his greatest challenges. To create in this theater in round, the impact and immensity of HamZet's theme and characters will be quite a feat of acting and direct- ing. Alverno's spring presentation will be The Elder Statesmenn with the Classic Players on March 24 and Cinderella in Loveland by the Al- verno Fine Arts 'Department on April 13-15. Kathy Niles Debaters Sweep, Win Two Titles Varsity debaters Robert Komar, James Murtaugh, Thomas Stockfisch, Thomas Check and Robert Weishan, closed out their season at Marquette university on March 19, in the mid- west league finals. The results are as follows: out of 25 participating schools Pius tied for first place honors with Marquette high school. Pius won all six deci- sions. These wins entitled the Pius debaters to the Sweepstakes trophy for the season. As a result of the decisions won on Saturday, Pius also won the second place trophy. Robert Weishan and Thomas Stockfisch were each awarded medals for high point average. This gives the boys the privilege of ap- plying for scholarship to Marquette university. On February 13, sophomore de- baters Thomas Beschta and Tony Le- maire Cafiirmativel, and Nancy Coc- cia and John Feyen Cnegativej brought home the first place trophy from the Junior Invitational Tourna- ment at St. Ignatius high school, Chi- cago. Although the Pius team tied the Canterbury Club of Aurora, Illinois, with five wins and one loss, Pius won on superior speaking points, the total being 131 for Pius and 128 for Can- terbury club.

Sophomore Jeff Frederiksen put in extensive reading, interviews with Marquette university professors and hours of preparation and experi- menting. Everything started with an article in Science World CSept. 9, 19583 de- scribing a project that proved that music caused an increase in plant growth. Why? This was the ques- tion that led to Jeff's experiment. He formulated the theory that sound affects plant growth indirectly by al- ternating the plant's light. After extensive reading on plant growth and sound, he visited M. U. professors Dr. Rosin, plant physiolo- gistg Father Frederick, physicistg and Dr. Bernard. Jeff was encour- James Lememse with 75, Frank Ker- hin with 73, and Michael Jacobi with 73. Photo by Walter Zukowski Jeff Frederiksen displays his second-prize winning biology project in the Science Fair held at Pius. 1 aged to try his theory, but received little hope of its succeeding. Jeff had learned through research that brief periods of light and dark- ness following each other regularly caused plants to grow faster than if they were in constant light. Are plants sensitive enough to detect this alternation of light in less than a sec- ond or at the speed of vibrations of sound waves? In order to find out, he constructed transparent planters and a transpar- ent, soundproof box into which he placed a speaker. The planters were put about one foot on each side of a fiuorescent light with the soundproof box between the light and one plant- er. Percussion m u s i c was played through the speaker for an hour each day. Jeff's results were not so drastic as those described in Science World, but they were slightly positive. He will fContinued on page 71 FTA,s Gather Pius FTA's attended the first of two important conventions on April 5. Sponsored by the Council for Ex- ceptional Children, the convention featured a discussion on the educa- tion of handicapped children. The CEC is interested in urging young people to teach the handicapped chil- dren. Schools from all over the city attended the meeting. On April 8 and 9 the FTA's swung north to Stevens Point, where they attended a state convention. Attend- ing this convention were senior ofii- cers Pelagia Frost, Kathleen Aubert, Robert Benning, Kenneth Theine and James Kuczynski. For the first time four Pius juniors, Richard Fischer, Franklin Hopp, Patricia Meisinger and Rosemary Wagner, accompanied the officers in order to run for state offices. ..,,.... ...,,,..,. ,.,, , ,..,.,-.,.,,. ., ., Photo by Jim Macdonald Mr. and Mrs. Terrien display dance techniques to senior Jim Panenka and sopho- more Peggy Panizich in rehearsal for the spring concert.

The fellows begin the show with a bounce in Weatherbee's Drug Store. Afterwards the girls get to show their grace in Ode to Lola. The couples lightheartedly take ov e r in Hoosier Way, Summertime, Old Town Clock and Things Are Gonna Hum This Summer. It looks as if things are already humming for the play. Teachers Get 0 ces In February, Mr. McCabe, Ameri- can history and economics teacher, was elected president of the Milwau- kee Archdiocesan Social Studies Teachers association Clast year he was Vice-presidentj. This organiza- tion is represented by all Catholic high schools in the Milwaukee Arch- diocese at February conventions. Mr. Miller, typing teacher and B- team coach, was elected secretary- treasurer of the newly formed Catho- lic High School Coaches association. 2 Students Sna Honors in Art Thirteen Pius students walked away with awards at the regional Scholastic art contest. The five gold key winners will enter their art works at Washington, D.C., in May. Gold key winners in art were Tom Linehan, silk-screened greeting card, Marsha Vanderheyden 230, cloisonne enamel, and James Sampon 310, silk screen. Honorable mention was given to Charles Burke 207, Bonnie Van Ert 320, M a r s h a Vanderheyden, Tom Linehan, Jerry Krause 312, Jeanne Bude 512, Jerry Neuner 407 and Bar- bara Jenk 126. In photography, Walter Zukowski 307 and John Fenske 310 won gold keys for black and white prints. John also won an honorable mention in both the black and white and the color transparency divisions. April Storms Pius With SC Election As the date for Student Council election draws nearer, junior repre- sentatives qualifying as nominees, ac- cording to last year's new rulings, will begin to campaign. An 83 average and the signatures of an assistant principal, homeroom teacher and two subject teachers are requirements. At a junior assembly, March 24, the juniors were told the qualifications and campaigning pro- cedures. Following homeroom registration, April 24, and an all-school assembly, April 28, the voting will be April 29. Another new rule from last year states that freshmen will vote. They will get to know the candidates from biographies, which help if one reads intelligently, and the room-to-room campaigning. Some freshmen are pleased with this privilege while others criticize it. One freshman commented, I don't think we should vote. If someone wrong gets in, we will be blamed. Sophomore opinion on freshmen voting is thumbs down. We didn't know the candi- dates well enough last year. Sister Christopher, Student Coun- cil moderator, and last year's oiiicers feel that freshmen, as part of the school, should vote. SHOW-' Freshmen Head School In Local Math Feat Of the 28 Pius students participat- ing in the Future Engineers of America mathematics contest, March 11, 1960, freshmen were the best rep- resented in attendance and winnings. Allan Ristow 405, who placed third in the November contest, had the highest score. Freshmen Suzan Vogt, a sister of senior Marilyn Vogt who placed first in November, and Carol Klein 405 took second and third places respectively. Junior Neil Ma- zurek placed fourth. Two weeks prior to the contest the students received self-study kits con- taining mathematical problems and methods. They were to study these with no outside help. This is the first year Pius has par- ticipated in the nationwide contest. National results are now being tal- lied. Those in the top ten per cent of the nation will be eligible for the national contest to be held in Chicago on April 16. In November, five Pius students placed in the top ten per cent. Juniors Man Journal Writing, rewriting articles and meeting deadlines have been assumed by the junior staff members for the April issue of the Pius Journal. Neil Casey is attacking editorials while Maryellen Haberstroh and Jo- anne Cavanaugh are scouting for news scoops. Mary Ann Laczkowski is taking over alumni for Sandy Kol- loge, who is temporarily unable to fulfill the job. Among the other positions are Carol Schmidt, They Say and crea- tive writing pagesg John Flynn, fea- tureg Jim Braun, sportsg Sue Pem- per, exchange editor. Assisting these temporary editors is the entire creative writing class. Forensics 'Fine Experience' Experience is the difference be- tween keeping your chin up and sticking it out. On March 19 the sophomores and juniors gained some of this experience at the intramural forensics meet here. A similar fresh- man meet was held on March 26. Of those who participated in the forensics meet, all profited but in each division the top winner received a trophy. In the humorous division, junior Gary Gscheidmeir won the top prize with sophomores Kathleen Victory and Camille Beckert receiv- ing medals as second and third place winners respectively. In dramatics sophomore Sharon Sohner took the trophy as juniors Mary Staley and Roger Theine won second and third. The original oratory and non-origi- nal oration divisions were combined, since these were more difiicult selec- tions and there were fewer entries. In this division Margie Androjna, a junior, won first with a non-original selection. James O'Melia and John Feyen, both sophomores, were run- ners up. Sophomore Thomas Beschta won the trophy in the extemporaneous di- vision with second and third place medals won by sophomore Gail Ko- walski and junior Richard Haas. In each division many of the students were first time winners. Judges of all these events were Pius' faculty members. After receiving A's in a Wisconsin High School Forensics Association meet at Mercy high school on March 11, senior Patrick McGrath, juniors Kathleen Conway and Raleigh Miller and sophomore Carolyn Lindquist all attended a district meet at Cedarburg on March 26. Receiving A's there, all four were qualified for the state meet at Madison on April 9. awww Saga' lf...

His black walnut cane was held between the dusty house slippers. He sat with palms crossed on the curved handle, his back straight against the slatted bench. The flesh of his jaws drooped under toothless gums and his skin was wrinkled like the red balloon that lay be- tween us on the pavement. It was fall and the old man twitched occasionally, drawing the black overcoat about him as he sat watching the traffic cop a half-block away. The officer was a young man not more than twenty-five. I wondered if the old man had once been a policeman. Probably not. He was too short to pass the minimum height requirement. He was straight but he was so short. Beside him on the bench fluttered a brown paper bag, torn the length of its side. A few peanut husks were lying on the lip of the bag, and strewn about the park pavement before him were the remains .of the pea- nuts he had divided among the squirrels. The squirrels had been his friends, but he no longer had any peanuts to give them and they had left him. Three boys on the grass were playing stretch with a pocket knife. The smallest of the three lost out in the second time around. He said that he was tired of the game. The boy slid to the ground, his back to a bare elm. Fumbling inside his jacket, he struck on a little paper-backed book. The book was yellow with black lettering on its face. The boy began quoting market prices of products against their raw material value. His friends soon took notice and abandoned their amusement to sit beside him under the elm. The book, similar to my economics handbook, was passed from hand to hand. Each boy read several price comparisons and whistled at the contrast in buying and selling prices. They all declared how that was the business to be in and wondered how prospectives went about getting established in the business. The old man shifted his weight in jerky little tugs and seated himself with his left arm over the back of the green bench. He lifted a dead right leg to rest crossed over the left. From this vantage point he could view the avenue at his back by glancing over his left shoulder. It was noon and many of the university stu- dents were milling about, crossing the avenue and cut- ting across the park lawns and pairing off to walk through the park. I was free that morning and had been in the park since ten looking over a wage chart I was preparing for an economics class at three. At 12:10 I left the park for the diner two blocks uptown. I finished lunch by 1:00. My chart was still incom- plete. I went back to the park. Two elderly women were now occupying the bench where I had sat that morning. I took a seat opposite my former place and began looking in my folder for my unfinished chart. I found it quickly and holding it aloft, at arms length, examined it for errors. Lowering the paper from my line of vision, I found Mister Oldman still seated where he had sat throughout the morning. He was knocking gray ashes from a black Irish briar. Returning to a sitting position, he greeted another about his age who seated himself beside Mister Oldman. They talked about the weather and an early winter and about their hurts and aches. Soon they exhausted this source and fell to silent scrutiny of the cracks in the concrete pavement. Mister Oldman began grinding pebbles with the metal head of his cane. His companion was the first to speak. He asked Mister Oldman if he remembered the good old days when they used to work in the trade shops. The old man said he did remember.

I wondered what they would say about the good old days if they could see Dad's factory with the production lines in full swing, turning out more than their trade shops could have in a year, and cheaper too. But they were old and the old were bound to have their way about the good old days. Mister Oldman set his chin on the handle of his cane and said that he wondered where all the young men were going these days. If it had not been merely idle conver- sation, I would have taken up the issue with the old man who was probably stubborn anyway. I finished the chart and returned it to the folder. I looked again at the old man. His back was rigid against the slatted bench. I stepped out of the quiet park and onto the dusky, teeming avenue and I wondered if the old guy was too blind or too stubborn to see where the young men are going today.

Marilyn Mulvey 432 Loneliness Is Abstract There is nothing quite so god-forsakenly lonely as a straight line. Imprisoned by its identity, eternally alone, and adamantly fixed to its predetermined plane of existence, a straight line knifes its way through an endless void of monotonous continuity. Yet, despite its desolate propensity and desperation-wrought resigna- tion, this abstract phenomenon has found its way to the chaotic media of architectural design, bringing with it all of its unfathomed personality. And man has taken this inherent property and utilized it to his advantage -erecting gargantuan sentinels that carve the blood- red skylines of metropolitan evenings into precise par- allelograms. It is not a difficult task for one to detect a sullen note of protest amidst the mufiied murmurs of one of these nocturnal Pythagorean jungles. One has only to pause at the puckered mouth of a silence-dampened al- ley to intercept this strange secret, borne on the rasp- ing breath of malignant lungs. But this is only a super- ficial auditory conceptg when one's ears begin to seal his thought from the muted distractions of the masses - revealing sounds that can be heard only by the eyes and heart-it is then, and only then, that one has learned the secret solitude of the prisoner. There, beneath the fiashing, penetrating explosions of neon missiles, one perceives the pathos of the straight line. And it is here too, that the loneliness dwells, obscured by the pompous shrouds . . . the price of service. Indeed, there is nothing quite so god-forsakenly lonely as a straight line . . . except perhaps the skyline of a sleeping city. Charles Burke 207 Bus Ride The sigh of the bus door as pressure was released was simultaneously timed with the sigh of a young girl as she dropped herself into a leather-covered seat. A thick poetry book had fallen to the slushy floor, and as she wiped it off, she noticed an underlined passage, The only other soumfs the sweep of easy wind and downy Hake. She replaced a baby pink bookmark with her name, Mary, printed in black type. As she closed the book and set it with her others, a crowd of girls from school got on the bus. A blind, deaf and dumb person could hear those kids a mile away, she thought. Just because they haven't seen each other since last night doesn't mean they have to start a riot, and yet the adults on the bus don't seem to' mind all of their chattering. I'm their age but I'm not shouting and cracking stale jokes. But then I'm alone, and the only person I can tell jokes to is myself and it's not much fun to sit on a bus and laugh to my- self. People may think I'm cracked. The bus lunged forward and the jolt upset one of the laughing girls. Her books fiew in all directions and the papers from her folder gaily decorated the fioor. I may as well help her pick up her dumb old books. I don't know why though 5 she never did anything for me, but this is be-kind-to-animal week, and I must show my refined manners. As she bent over to help the girl pick up her books, she noticed the name Kathy inside the cover of the book. After laughing for about thirty stops, the girl fin- ally got all of her books collected and the rest of her gang settled down. Looking through the steaming bus windows, Mary could see several boys romping in the snow. One little fellow had his arm outstretched in a vain attempt to catch some snow. That morning on her way to the bus stop she had noticed how the falling snow was so thick that it looked like a sheet of white paper. Now the snow had let up quite a bit and only a few flakes fell every now and then. One snow fiake landed on the bus window and for a split second she could see its individual intricate de- sign. Just then a voice brought her out of her deep thought. Standing next to her was the girl who had dropped her books. She smiled at Mary and then asked in a voice that was quite mellow when toned down, I see you have an English book with you. I really hate to bother you, but would you mind lending your book for a couple of seconds? Three bus stops later the two girls got off the bus togetherg both of them were laughing. A gust of wind brought the snow blowing into their faces.

Contardo, 0.S.F. Vol. XXVI, No. 7 April 15, 1960 T ey Sa Example : Joan asks her mother if she may attend a record hop. Her mother answered her by saying no. Joan then asked her mother why she couldn't go. Did Joan have the right to ask the question why after her mother had already said no? Why or why not? Question for students: After your parents have given you a definite command or answer that you are expected to obey, under what circumstances and in what conditions do you feel you have the right to discuss it with your parents, or do you obey without asking ques- tions? I always feel that I have a right to discuss a command with my par- ents. I feel that there should al- ways be a sufficient reason for an order. Children shouldn't ever be made to obey blindly or they will be- come too dependent on the person giving the order. As they grow up, they will have to learn to think for themselves, and I think the best time to learn is while they're young. Donald J. Klug Joan certainly had the right to ask why she couldn't go. I'm sure any decisions our parents make have some good reason which we should be able to at least accept if not un- derstand. Usually their decisions are final and arguing shouldn't be permitted, but an explanation from the parents should at least accom- pany a negative decision. Jackie Hansen I think she has the right to ask, why. Children in their teens re- sent parents making decisions for them, even if it is for their own good. If the parents would sit down and talk it over with her, she will probably see their point of view. Even though she must obey, I think she has the right to ask, why? Tom Beschta She had no right to ask why be- cause her mother had a purpose for saying no. The purpose was, in the mother's eyes, something that would help her daughter. Freshman Any answer, positive or negative, must have a logical reason to back it up. You never proved a problem in geometry by saying, because I said so. Karen Case No. Parents don't say No out of spite. They do things with and for reasons. Ted Corona When given a command, usually I know the reason behind it. If the answer would be no to such a re- quest, I would ask and my parents . mil . ll Nl lllllll ll 'SFF 'f ll l ss fgigl V . alll il .Vl mll lr I . ' ll' l lll ., ill W , li 2 X W1 l ' : lg ll M y would then discuss the matter with me. I think that it is always best to have an explanation although I don't have any right to ask why, but my parents are kind enough to discuss the matter with me. Jan Schlaeger 326 6 I feel that on a senior level, there is no reason why we could not dis- cuss the point in question. Of course, it should not be thought of as an argument. Yes, because youth is always in command of knowledge and some- thing like this is a knock on the per- son's intelligence. Therefore, I think she has a right to at least ex- pect some logical explanation of their answer rather than just a plain Noi Joan did not have the right to ask her mother why not. She should re- spect her mother's authority which she is obliged to obey. Paul A. Ahearn Trying to live as an individual, I think we have a privilege to ask about our rights. This right enables us to have better understanding to- ward our parents. Julianne Jacobsen No, definitely not, but it seems to- day, that kids take the liberty to question the authority of parents. Respect for our elders demands that we do not question them. Sophomore Question for parents: When you give your children a definite command that you expect them to obey, under what conditions and in what circumstances do you allow them to discuss it with you, or do you expect them to obey your command without question as to rea- son? Discipline must have a reason. If a child of high school level hasn't reached the age of reason, the par- ent has failed! Mrs. Byran P. Pike If it is a request to do a chore, there is no argument. If the chil- dren request permission for a date, there is a discussion regarding whom they are going with, where they are going and what time they will be home. If permission is then denied, there is no further discus- sion. Mrs. John Major 1 l , W f I !tn:V.p,.,, V ,L ' , E, .4 ,, M , , il, VW, Q C.

The Union, whose major concepts are the abolishment of such evils as cor- recting tests, organizing classes and deciphering homework, announces its first national convention. We know you have been waiting in anxious delirium, so here are the de- tails. Our convention will be held in Aptitude, Iowa, home of the famous Iowa Standard tests Cstandard of what, we don't knowj. Set off from the surrounding corn stubble by its electrographic pencil factory, Apti- tude is only 14,000,004 check marks from Pius on some of the most beau- tiful eradicator-stained report cards in America. Several teachers will be happy to learn that their suggested session topics were adopted. Sponsoring Can Chalk Dust Poisoning Kill? is Mr. Drexler. Closely following is Mr. Riegert with Making the School Bus Ride a Learning Experience or Judo in Ten Easy Lessons. Al- though Mr. Whelan's topic wasn't ac- cepted, we know that he can find plenty of work for his IBM Computer on test percentages. Remember, that's Aptitude, Iowa, for our grand and glorious U.S.W.A. convention during the Easter vaca- tion. Jim 0'Melia Personalities Plus . . . Josette Beaubien: complete Sodalist I joined the Sodality because I joined every club I could when I at- tended the university. That is how Josette Beaubien, speaker at the W.C.A.C. convention, explained her joining the Sodality. However, this reason was not predominate for long. She said that as soon as she joined, she knew the Sodality was for her be- cause it filled up and offered not only action but formation. While attending the University of Montreal, Josette Beaubien joined the Sodality. Now she is the president of the Federation of French-speak- ing Sodalities Cfeminine sectionj in the diocese of Montreal, Canada. Since 1951, she has been organizing and visiting Sodalities in French Canada, and in some English-speak- ing sections of Canada and parts of the United States. Miss Beaubien has pledged her entire life to serving the Sodality. Acting as representative of Cana- dian Sodalities at the World Sodality Congress in Rome in 1954, and at the Second World Congress of the Lay Apostolate in October, 1957, and be- ing the main speaker at one of the general sessions at the Second World Sodality Congress in Newark in 1959 are a few of her accomplishments for the Sodality. In her W.C.A.C. speech, she as- serted the need in the world for real men and real saints not just the mediocre. She went on to say that the Sodality builds real men and saints. The Sodality builds men by developing the natural virtues of calm and silence, possession of oneself, a sense of responsibility, love of perfec- tion, self-discipline, punctuality, or- der and care for everything. It builds saints by developing the interior ilfe and the apostolic life. Miss Beaubien remarked that too many people are acting like chil- dren, seeking only pleasures and neglecting the development of their souls. John Flynn Don't Blame Me Let it never be said that our Pius teachers aren't on the ball after their rout of the Juniors on St. Pat- rick's Day. Even those that weren't playing were extra alert, it seems. Take Jim Braun's case. After Mr. Drexler re- fused to give him an out-of-uniform pass, he had to brave our faculty. In his first period, staff, the mod- erator got his day off right by taking a merit card. During the course of the day six other teachers followed suit. They used up not only his merit cards but also his pin money C5 cents a week allowance.J On the other hand, Father Gilles hasn't been too alert lately. He keeps calling Lois Scherkenbach Charlie, Joe Sinnitt Soph Drums Up . . tContinued from page lj continue working on his project, one of several representing Pius at the Southeastern Wisconsin Science Fair at Marquette on April 8, 9 and 10. Other winners of the Pius fair were, in the physics class, a project by seniors Fred Ludwig, Ed Winkler and James Stack. An exhibit created by juniors Ju- dee Turk, Karen Tennies and Mary Brauer was awarded the blue ribbon in the chemistry class. A project showing the passage of minerals into plant cells was the dis- play of Roger Theine 332 and Ken- neth Theine 216, who received first place in the biology division. , 7 Have Prid , ill Share Have you ever noticed that you are able to tell a Holy Angel or Divine Savior girl or Marquette boy? Why is this possible with these students and not with Pius students? Because of school unity or a lack of unity. Granted, uniformity is out of the question because of Pius' size, but is unity necessarily so? Hardly, if one considers it worth working for and does work for it. How often, for instance, does a senior take time off to talk to a fresh- man or a sophomore to a junior? Each seems to be content to dwell within his own class. This may form class unity but is detrimental to school unity. This forces four differ- ent classes rather than one school with four degrees of learning. This has gone to the extent that one must put his pride in his class rather than in his school. The problem starts when the fresh- men, some 700 stron g, are turned loose on the school and expected to learn about school traditions, pride, spirit, etc., etc. Every year the fresh- man homeroom teachers attempt to solve this problem through assem- bliesg Student Council tries tags and dances. Both are fine, but they are separate and thus inadequate. Not only this, but the other students' at- titude is harmful to the cause. In a way, all this adds up to what Chuck Burke stated to the sheepish juniors on the subject of groups, leaders and other fascinating topics: there is a need for unity and leaders. Instead of these scattered attempts, one entire system could be worked out whereby the entire senior class would take it upon themselves to ini- tiate the freshmen into Pius life. CBy initiation is meant a system of in- troduction rather than the washing of walls to show senior superior- ity. D What about a big brotherfbig sister system by which each senior undertakes the guidance of a fresh- man. He would explain the reasons for the laws of the school and watch over his little brother during the en- tire year. This certainly would help form school unity. 8 For this plan to materialize, the full co-operation of every student- freshman to s e n i o r-is necessary. Every student must be Willing to show approval or disapproval of this plan. Alterations, other ideas, specific ways of working something out will be appreciated. Through homeroom teachers, English teachers, clubs and club moderators, suggestion boxes on each floor, Student Council reps, notes to 117 and the They Say page, you should have enough ways of making yourself heard. So Baa-a to Burke's challenge. Next year's seniors wool pull this through. Jim Braun If there is a contest, men are all on the same side, not on opposite ones. -A. P. Campbell Actually we miss the complete mean Think Twice Be ore You all institution offers extracurricular ac- tivities does not change the attitude we should have toward the school it a 'School Spirit, Again ...Q Just what the name implies, school spirit is a spirit for school. Now, here's a chance to see if you have real school spirit. Have you backed your team or sold your booster books? Then, in the minds of some, you have school spirit. But, is this really school spirit? The phrase we started out with was spirit for school. So what is school anyway? It all depends on your outlook. It may be the place to claim a prize- winning team or the school that has the best dances or maybe the place the gang went so you trotted along too. However, contrary to popular opin- ion, school is an educational institu- tion designed to foster learning through the co-operation of student and teacher. Therefore, if we say we possess school spirit, in all the basic meaning of that term, we say we hold a spirit for learning in a particular institu- tion. This is not always the case though. Usually, school spirit con- notes a rah, rah attitude, home- room competition or the manufactur- ing of 50,000 pom-poms for a fioat. r', B-team champions Ron Wambach, John Loomis.

If they are properly or- ganized, they can be of great benefit to the student and his school. Did you ever wonder why educa- tion was made compulsory? So we can learn, dummy, so we can take our place in society with a vocabulary a mite stronger than Rah, rah, Go team, Go. So much emphasis is placed on sports that we sometimes forget the main reason for our being here. If we had the attitude we should have, we would feel proud when some other group besides the football team brings home a trophy or other display of recognition. We would feel the pride of a school with students who take an interest in things that bene- fit the school academically. When we get out of school, our prospective employer isn't going to count how many touchdowns we made or how many times we were elected to the prom court. So think twice before saying you have school spirit again. Photo by Jim Macdonald Joanne Cavanaugh Mike Kahncr, get a tip from Coach Dewey Miller. Life, Lib rt and You Did you ever consider that the president of the U.S., for 1980 or maybe 1984, is forming somewhere in one of our schools. Maybe the boy next to you in history class is a fu- ture cabinet member. In any event, whether you be president or John Q. Citizen, you will be a vital part of our democratic system of govern- ment. Twenty-one is not far off for youg at this stage your passive part in government becomes active. These are the forming years for the activity we will meet in the near future. Without a knowledge of the status of the world we may walk to the polls and give a vote for ignor- ance. Knowledge would solve many of man's problemsg ignorance creates them. Prosperity and tranquility work congruently with knowledge. An understanding of current affairs is also satisfying in itself. The em- pirical reason for this is that we are l l affected in our every move by the movements of these affairsg therefore things concerning government which affect us won't completely baiile us. Trite as the statement History re- peats itself is, it makes its point. It has proven and reproven itself since Alexander conquered the world. For instance, notice the pattern Napoleon and Hitler's march into Russia fol- lowed. Many other examples can be cited throughout the annals of his- tory. All this only nurtures the point that a study of history is an impor- tant factor in predicting the course of the present. A thorough reading of your daily Journal, Sentinel or weekly news magazine will repay you for time otherwise spent napping, watching TV, etc. Knowledge derived from your current observances merits its own satisfaction. Your future may vitally depend on your knowledge of the present. A knowledge of current events often acts as a regulator to your wisdom and knowledge in other categories, which, of course, will make you more acceptable in the social and business world, which should in turn prepare you for your final goal. Neil Casey RESOLUTION ON CIVIL RIGHTS AND SEGREGATION The Young Christian Students, an international social action movement of Catholic college students, held a regional study weekend at Alverno Col- lege in Milwaukee on Saturday and Sunday, March 26 and 27. Their dis- cussions centered on civil rights and segregation problems. Ninety-two students from the following colleges drew up a resolution embodying their conclusions: Alverno and Mount Mary Colleges in Milwaukeeg Saint Xavier and Mundelein Colleges in Chicagog College of Saint Teresa in Winona, Minnesotag Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa: and the University of Notre Dame. The students did not speak as representatives of their respective colleges, but as members of Young Christian Students. The resolution is as follows: the Young Christian Students, recognizing that racial discrimination We, exists in both the North and South, condemn any such violations of hu- man dignity. We believe that such discrimination is incompatible with the basic Chris- tian doctrine of love. We urge state and national legislators to initiate strong measures which will lead to racial justiceg and we pledge our support of these measures. We as students especially condemn discriminatory practices in the area of education, such as biased admission and housing policies and expulsion of students who exhibit support of integration. We sympathize deeply with students who are being persecuted for attempt- ing to exercise their rights as human beings through protest marches, lunch counter sit-ins, and picketing. We particularly endorse the principle of peaceful resistance. We commit ourselves, as students from all areas of the nation, to attack discrimination and to work toward establishing social justice. THE YOUNG CHRISTIAN STUDENTS 10 ' Future Voters The following are some of the an- swers received in a mock election taken among the seniors by Miss Rau's sociology classes. Seniors were asked to mark their chioce for president and state briefly their rea- sons for their choice. Kennedy-Reason: A member of the Democratic party. The Demo- cratic party is the party of the com- mon man. Kennedy in my opinion is the best man from this party. Nixon - Reason: B e c a u s e he'll make it with no sweat, and has a good knowledge of present situa- tions because of his serving as vice- president. Kennedy - Reason: I think that he would be a good president. Besides, he's Catholic and a Democrat? Nixon-Reason: Republican party. Nixon had a lot more experi- ence. Nixon -Reason: Because I like the Republican party. Kennedy-Reason: He'd make a good one. Kennedy-Reason: He's young and he's ambitious. Kennedy - Reason :s 1. He is a democrat. 2. He is a Catholic Cthis shouldn't influence me but it does.l 3. He is an all around good guy il Kennedy-Reason: Because he's Catholic and he's for the poorer class of people. Kennedy - Reason: To see if a Catholic could do it. Stevenson - He seems strong in his beliefs and says what he wants to. I think he would be a very capa- ble man for the job, although I know he will not run in the presidential election. Kennedy- Reason: I know this man's aims and what he stands for. He is a Catholic and this should have a bearing on his reasoning and judgment toward right and wrong. Nixon - Reason: I'm Republican. Kennedy-Reason: Because the rest are crooks. Kennedy-Reason: Kennedy is the man for the presidency: he has had a good campaign in Wisconsin and all around the world. He has good ideas and should be able to use them. Kennedy-Reason: It is a tradi- tion in our family to vote on the Democratic ticket. Kennedy - Reason: He is a Catho- lic. Therefore he must have high ideals. Kennedy-Reason: Because he is better looking and he deserves a chance to prove himself. Nixon - Reason: B e c a u s e he showed more than once that he could handle the situation which not many men can do. Humphrey - Reason: A s t a bl e progressive who is a balance of lib- eralism and conservatism. Kennedy-Reason: I feel that Kennedy is as well qualified as the rest. And seeing that religion is one of the main disputes in the cam- paign, I feel that if Kennedy can pull all Catholic voters together it will not only put a well qualified man into oHice, but it will pull to- gether the Catholic population. These are from the seniors, whose four years at Pius have molded them into responsible adults, able to make mature judgments based on widely acquired facts and intelligent, open- minded discussion, ready to take their places as well educated citi- zens. John Flynn .9510 Ameuca Brazzl Glimpse Inio Ihr 11 Llberties The Biggest liqu . . . The biggest clique on earth, a half billion members, individuals overshadowed not hidden in many, but many in one knowing, loving, serving our God in the Catholic Church. Basically Speaking Before we became active members of the Mystical Body at confirmation, we had not gone very deeply into learning about the Church. Now that we have been confirmed for some years and are supposedly adult mem- bers in good standing, I wonder just how well we stand as being well informed about our Faith. Just about everyone at Pius be- longs to some club or other organiza- tion, even outside of school. Before we joined this club, it is likely that we had an interest in it and knew something of its nature, purpose and our responsibilities as m e m b e r s. Though it is more than this, could we consider the Mystical Body of Christ, the Church, to be one of these organi- zations? It seems to meet all the qualifications: members, officers in the form of bishops and priests, com- mon purpose, common means. Grade school religion classes have taught us our catechism lessons and high school religion classes attempt a deeper study of them, although often these quasi-cocurricular classes go no further than getting the atten- tion of the students. Of course, this basic knowledge is essential to real knowing of the Church, but only the bare essential. If We make it the ex- tent of our knowledge, it isn't enough. How much do we know about the coming Ecumenical Council, or the Fatima letter except that we are de- stined to die on the day after its opening. Doing some extra reading in the Herald Citizen and Today magazine, and even listening to the Sunday sermons will keep us 1n- formed on our organization and what it is doing throughout the world. Now that we supposedly have the knowledge, are we sure of it our- selves? It is a mistaken opinion to think it wrong to question the doc- trines of the Church, as long as we make it a point to get the question answered by an authority and, most important, to have the faith to be- lieve the doctrine after it has been explained. Let's make our knowledge a work- ing knowledge by putting it into practice for our own salvation and the good of others in the Mystical Body. Mary Ann Laczkowski For a world which is grow- ing to adulthood, we have to build up an adult Christian- ity. Not a Christianity of tradition or routine but of adoption. Not a mass-minded Christianity but a Christian- ity of free and conscious choice. True Christians, who, by the strength of their faith, the intensity of their spirit- ual lives and their profound understanding of supernatu- ral truths, will be capable of accomplishing their mission in the world today. -Bishop Errazuriz 12 Photo by John Fenske Praying Figure by Patricia K. Watters Extra Credit Work We belong to societies' Church State and famil ' ! y! to name a few. And to each one we have an obligation. By being baptized Catholics and members of the Mys- tical Body, we find a duty which we must fulfill. With the title laity comes apostolate. Cardinal Pizzardo stated that one form of activity of the apostolate is the practice of works of mercy which include activities of a social order. This social order for us could mean complete par- ticipation in a Mission drive, choosing our jobs on the basis of service rather than salary or even meeting others with kindness. It could mean, too, any organized form of the apostolate-Sodality, YCS, Third Order, Legion of Mary. We must develop our natural abilities and have peo- ple recognize us for them. Then we can be recognized as Catholics. This, too, is a vital part of belonging to the apostolate. Doing these various acts without a thought of others does not benefit us at all. Instead, we must look and see how we can bring the Church to other people, for we are the Church.

Mass Participation What is it that makes a cheering crowd at a basket- ball game seem so alive, so vital? It is the intangible element of togetherness. The crowd seems to be one person with one voice. The individual students are united for one purpose-to cheer the team to victory. This spirit of togetherness is characteristic not only of a crowd at a basketball game but of all public group actions. Hence we would expect the same oneness at the public worship of the Church, Holy Mass. A common purpose, the greater glorification of God through the of- fering of the Eucharistic Sacrifice, draws together indi- vidual Catholics and makes them one. The worship of the Church as a whole then depends upon the personal contribution of each student. The student must give what he alone is capable of supply- ing-that adoration, reparation, thanksgiving and pe- tition which are distinctively his alone and can come from no one else. It is the combination of the voices of individual students which gives the Church its one voice in one Person, Christ. Maryellen Haberstroh Now, if I'm elected . . . says catcher Gary Bross to Bob Berger, Barry Geraghty, Terry Rosenberg and Jim Jaeger at baseball practice. G m Sees Baseball Thus far not much can be said about the baseball team's future. Snowy and saturated fields have made it necessary for the Golds to show their prowess in the gym. So far Gary Bross, a returning catcher, has shown the most prom- ise. Other seniors like Vic Garces and Craig Landre have proven they might fill some gaps left open via graduation. Vic is a pitcher, Craig a first baseman. Two of the most promising juniors are Jim Jaeger and Terry Rosenberg. Both boys may land infield starting assign- ments. Jim is also a capable out- fielder. Help From Sophs Billy Berkopec is o n e of the gamest sophs trying for the team. Bill gained experience last y e ar while traveling with the team. Bob Yach and Barry Geraghty could be some real iine rookies if all goes right. The first is a pitcher and with a little added weight, he could be quite effective. As it stands now, however, he lacks the size of a var- sity competitor. Geraghty has the size and the baseball know-how. He, too, may be the missing quality Mr. Elger is looking for. Coach Elger is counting heavily this ye ar on underclassmen. If pitching and a few timely hits come through, the baseball team can look forward to a very fine season. Jim Braun Press Picks It's almost unbelievable how many track records Bob Heller has broken. He holds the school's 100- and 220- yard dash records which set them in the state meet last year. Bob, injured in a scrimmage early in the football season, surely would have helped the Popes if he would have been at full strength. Then Bob gave Mr. Garrot a scare when it was rumored that he h a d heart trouble. This was proven wrong and Bob is now back running the sprints. Bob is coming off a victor at the municipal meets where he finished first in the forty yard dash with a time of 4.6 seconds. The s p e e d y Pionite is shoo-in when it comes to track scholarships, and those are hard to come by. Jim Braun 14 Sports Sidelines On Our Wrestlers For a squad who never dreamed they would be wrestling a few months back, the Pius team fared well in the State meet. Going into the event with only three and one- half weeks of practice behind them, the school team cinched fourth place. Frank Koelsch and Jerry Schind- ler, volunteer coaches, must be greatly credited for the teams' suc- cess. Mr. Koelsch is a Pius grad of '57, Mr. Schindler, the other coach, is a former state W.I.A.H. wrestling champ. Of course the bulk of the credit goes to the wrestlers themselves. Four Pius students placed. Ron Dentinger grabbed second place in the heavyweight division. In the 188 lb. division Dave Kozlik took second place. John Noesen placed fourth in the 168 lb. division, and Bill Hoge snatched third in the 148 lb. spot. On St. Patrick's Day The faculty grabbed every break Lady Luck could hand them on the day of the green as they romped the juniors 41 to 19. Mr. McCabe might have brought along some Irish luck as he was sec- ond high scorer. High scorer for the faculty was Mr. Kaus. Neil Casey i I This is how an ant feels when Bob Hel- ler takes off down the cinder track. Pius Track Takes 3 The Pius track team has already shown its talent in three main meets. These were the Journal Relays, the Municipal Meet and the Catholic Re- lays, respectively. At the Arena A first place in the sprint relay race at the Journal meet began the teams string of credits. This race was won in the private school divi- sion. The winning squad consisted of Bob Heller, Pat Mitten, Pete Lauder and Jim De Nomie. The Municipal Meet On March 19, many of our track men ran unattached in the munici- pal meet. Eleven men from Pius' squad placed. In the junior division Bob Heller snagged first place in the 40-yd. dash. Chuck Yahnke took top posi- tion in the broad jump. Ron Thies was our last man to win in this di- vision with a third place in the mile. The other eight men won in the cadet division. The half mile was dominated by three of Pius' track- men. Jim De Nomie took first place and Jerry Pintar and Jim Klinzing took second and third respectively. In the 440 Fred Shibilski came in first and Mike Smoody took third place. The 40-yd. dash again saw three Pius men come in the top positions. Howard Minkley, Amatore Mille and Jim Hamill ran in the top positions respectively. The Catholic Relays For the third straight year Pius' track team took the Catholic Indoor Relays. Pius earned 41 points in the event, followed by St. George CChicago's champj with 30 points. Marquette slapped its way into third place with 27 points. Bob Heller tied his 40-yd. dash record at the event and Chuck Yahnke took the high and low hur- dles, tying Ron Wied's high hurdle record. Much more is expected from the team in future meets. Editor's Note A major letter has always been held in high esteem here at Pius. It is a symbol of athletic achieve- ment and acquiring one has always taken a great deal of effort on the part of the athlete. Once he has won one, however, he can wear it with a feeling of pride and accom- plishment. Pius has a reputation for being stingy with letters. This is quite a contrast to some of the other Catho- lic schools who give out letters for gym class. Recently, however, I heard something which I believe will detract greatly from our letters. Some of the orchestra members may now receive letters for meritorious service in the orchestra. The or- chestra letters are a little smaller than a regular letter. Instead of a pin on the letter, showing in what sport the letter was won, the orches- tra letters have a tiny symbol to represent their organization. We have a very competent orches- tra here at Pius, and their efforts certainly d es e rve some sort of award, but why a letter? There are very few people who would say that the accomplishments of orchestra and those of athletics are on the same level. Then why give out the same type of award for both? If letters are awarded to orches- tra members, soon all the other clubs in school will be getting themg and once the letters become common- place, they will lose their value.

Brenner Sisters Unite for When the Brenner family ap- peared in the annual vocation as- sembly March 10, it gave Pius stu- dents not only a look into a whole- some family life, but also a chance to meet part of a family that can boast five out of its seven children Pius alumni. This feat may have been accomplished by other fami- lies, but the Brenner case is special, since three out of these five have en- tered religious life as Sisters. Four States Claim Alumni Sister M.

This is the twenty-fourth graduating class in the history of Pius. Highlighting this year's gradua- tion day exercises will be the appear- ance of his excellency Archbishop William E. Cousins as guest speaker. Also speaking to the graduating class and their guests will be the salutatorian, Elaine Lemmermann, and the valedictorian, Marilyn Woj- cik delivering, respectively, the tra- ditional welcome and farewell ad- dresses. The seniors have chosen as their motto Learn today, lead tomorrow, and as their song, You'll Never Walk Alone. The class flower is the Talisman Rose. To date, the class of '60 is the largest to graduate from Pius, top- ping last year's record of 538 gradu- ates. Distinguishing themselves this year with the highest four-year aver- ages are Marilyn Wojcik, Elaine Lemmermann, William Baumgart, C a 1' o l Felsecker, Bonnie Hansen, Marilyn Vogt, Monica Kania, Karen Case, James Himmelspach and Mari- lyn Haberle.

Editor-in-chief succeeding L a r ry Lock is Neil Casey. Neil, a reporter, specialized with his 'tSports Sidelinesf' The senior staff selected two news editors in order to divide the strain of the position. Mary Ann Laczkowski and Sandra Kollege were named to the coeditorship succeeding Patricia Hoff. John Flynn takes the reins of the feature page from Janet Jacobchick. Current sports writer Jim Braun will be the new sports editor. Jim has gained experience as editor Pat McGrath's assistant.

They Say editor Tom Check gives up his lifts, Photo by Walter Zukowski What does the tabular spell? asks next year's sports editor Jim Braun, obviously in need of a few pointers. Exchange editor Sue Pemper comes to the rescue as other new editors look in on the vain attempts. They are alumni editor Carol Schmidt, editor-in-chief Neil Casey, feature editor John Flynn, They Say editor Maryellen Haberstroh and news coeditor Mary Ann Laczkowski. News coeditor Sandy Kolloge was absent at the time the picture was taken. 1 position to Maryellen Haberstroh. Su- san Pemper remains exchange editor. According to Sister Contardo, moderator, two main developments will be the objective of next year's staff, We would like to aim at more interpretation in the news articles, commented Sister, adding that the paper will also strive to be more of a clearing house for the thinking in the school. This would mean more ex- change through letters to the editor, student opinion and articles explain- ing school policies. Autograph Season To Open Shortly Have you signed my Bound Jour- nal yet? The season is upon us and the books are soon filled with every- thing from Good luck, Joe Shmoe to full-page recountings of memor- able happenings of the past year. But the Bound Journal is made up of more than a front and back cover with some empty places for auto- graphs. Compiled by senior stad members, a ninety-six page supple- ment to the eight bound Journals will appear in this year's publication. As in the past, the senior class history will accompany the picture supplement. However, this year the project of writing the history has been undertaken by all seniors as an English assignment with the best ac- counting of each year being pub- lished. But Why does Pius have a Bound Journal instead of a yearbook? Ac- tually the Bound Journal is a year- book and more. Commenting on Pius' Bound Joumal, a journalism professor from Marquette expressed his favor of the idea saying that it contains the thinking of the school rather than being only a picture book that takes valuable staff time, and patrons. Personalities Plus . . . Meet the 1960 Valedictorian and Salutatorian Photo by Mike Poetzel Marilyn Wojcik As a school photographer snapped her picture, she jokingly commented, The caption under that picture should read, 'I need a shot. ' But those who know her know differ- ently. A 94.85 four-year average has at- tained for blond, talented Marilyn Wojcik the designation of Valedic- torian of the 1960 graduating class. With such an achievement one would expect to find a stick-in-the- mud bookworm, but again the pic- ture is different. She belonged to sodality, senior board, orchestra and student council ffor two yearsj. Also on her agenda are book reading, Silver Strings vio- lin group, CAP orchestra, and sew- ing. What I don't finish sewing, my mother does, she added with a smile, and that's pretty much. One thing Marilyn said she would change if she could do her high school days over again would be, to be active in a few more school acti- vities, rather than outside ones. Her adeptness at and attachment to her Violin music has and will play a big part in her life. Bowing her way to the title of concert mistress of CAP, she has soloed in numerous concerts. The gifted musician also had an opportunity to attend a String Concert in Puerto Rico this summer. Turning down scholarships to Al- verno and Marquette, she plans to attend Northwestern next fall and major in either music education or a violin major, later working for a Master's degree. V V 'V Her green eyes widened and she exclaimed One of my big desires is to take of on a trip around the world. I've found that people are too limited. The only thing holding her back, senior Elaine Lemmermann said, is time and money. Although quite different in looks and personality, both she and Mari- lyn have something in common. The dark haired, energetic senior is Sa- lutatorian, with an average of 94.57. Back in freshman year, when she was on top of the class, she contem- plated the magna cum laude status and has been working towards it since. Last year, this diligent stu- dent ranked in the top one per cent of the nation in the National Merit Scholarship exam. She realizes that a high school ed- ucation isn't enough to get what she wants in life, and therefore, plans to attend Alverno where she will major in either business or elemen- tary education. Photo by Mike Poetzel Elaine Lemmermann 2 With four brothers and two sis- ters, she found that one big obstacle in her study is that she can't find a quiet corner at home. ' One corner the well-rounded girl is very familiar with is Junior Achievement. Belonging for three years, she won a Dale Carnegie scholarship last fall. When asked what her favorite sub- ject was, Elaine replied, Econom- ics! And that's influenced by the fact that I'm the only girl in the class. Janet Jacobchick DOI1,t Blame Me The year was 2000. The scene, Pius XI auditorium. The event, the 1960 graduating class had gathered together for a forty-year reunion. Over in one corner, Dick Talar- czyk and Sam Burgarino stood deeply engrossed in talk - Boy, I'll never forget those rides to school in my 1947 Desota Deluxe. It was quite a car. Dick commented, I'd press a button and a parachute dropped from the back. It didn't stop the car very fast but I figured it might come in handy if I ever drove off a cliff. Sam burst forth, Speaking of cars, I'll never forget that Soap Box Derby I entered in '54, I didn't win, but I think that that was the only time I started something and fol- lowed it through. A red-haired fellow named Dick Geldreich tapped Sam on the shoul- der, Say, fella, all the guys from 228 have gotten together for another of their Old Maid card games. Would you care to join us? A giggle rose from the other side of the room. It was only Darlene Rieder and Judy Shtaida going over the time they had carefully and cau- tiously placed a No Parking sign in front of the elevator. I think it was worth the merit card, don't you? Joanne Kreuser overheard them and strolled over, I'l1 never forget the card I lost. It was for throwing a paper airplane. It, ah, landed on Father Hueller's shoulder. It just didn't seem to have the correct lines. And the weight .... A bell rang and the alumni grabbed their lunches. A cry broke out from Mary Kay Heil, It hap- pened again. Those darn buses! Who's got the wrong lunch? There's been a mix-upg I didn't have six fresh eggs! Janet Jacobchick F Gives Grants Three Pius teachers are going to summer school on grants received from the National Science Founda- tion. Mr. Drexler, biology teacher, is going to Marquette University to take a course for high school biology teachers. He said that the purpose of the course was to bring teachers up to date on the new developments in their Held. This is not new to Mr. Drexler. Last year he attended Wisconsin on a grant from the Na- tional Science Foundation. Sister Paulette, math teacher, is also going to attend Marquette. She will take a course for math teachers. This will be the first time Marquette will hold such a course and it will be the first time Sister Paulette will attend on a grant. Sister Justine, physics teacher, who received the other grant, will travel to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, for study. Most of the other teacher grant courses have been held at schools, but this is going to be held at the atomic research center at Oak Ridge. It is a course for teachers of the physical sciences. Sister Sebaldus is going with Sis- ter Justine as a traveling compan- ion. All of the lectures and Held trips but no lab periods will be open to Sister Sebaldus. On a General Electric Fellowship Mr. M. McCabe, social studies in- structor, will attend a six-weeks' economics course at Purdue univer- sity. Dan Krueger Crowned King Reigning over the '60 senior prom May 13 was Dan Krueger and Mary Kay Heil. The court consisted of Bob Benning, Gary Bross, Sam Bur- garino, Jack Guagliardo, Gary Ku- bcsch, Craig Landre, Donald Mitch- ell and their dates. Two rooms were 1'ented in the Mil- waukee Athletic club to accommo- date all the participants who danced to the music of an orchestra and a combo. The theme of this senior event was Shangri-La.

And the new ofiicers of the student council have been announced. After a week of hectic campaign- ing, 10 juniors out of 20 emerged victors in a close race for seats on the student council of Pius. Angelo De Lorenzo was elected to the presidency. Assisting Angelo will be Bob Komar as vice-president. Judy Horton will assume the posi- tion of secretary, while Jackie Kojis takes care of the treasury. Aiding these four will be student court members Joyc e Boettcher, Mike Dineen, Dick Haas, Kathleen Reitz, Sue Rezel and Joe Tesch. 0 U Piano Recital scenes except three. As one of a group of students, versatile Georgi- anne sang and danced her way across the stage. I even had a few lines, she commented. Outside of Seventeen, her mu- sical interest has centered around the piano. For the past seven and one-half years she has taken piano lessons and devoted on the average of an hour a day to practicing. On May 30 at 8:00 p.m. Georgi- anne will participate in a general re- cital at Pius with all of Sister M. Caritina's piano students. Later, in June, she will give a pri- vate senior recital. I can't even re- member when I started practicing for it. It was sometime around the beginning of school, explained Georgianne. Her selections include Reverie by Debussy, Polonaise Mill by Chopin and Flight by John Carrie. Nice Goin Credit is due Ann Colburn for let- tering, Roberta DenBoer and Nan Kasseckert for arranging and past- ing the senior composites and Album studio for both graduation and homeroom pictures.

Concert Cited For ay 22 All the facets of music meet on the stage, said Sister Cecile, conductor of the orchestra and chorus, on May 22 at 8:15 when Pius will present its annual spring concert. With Green Rhapsody as a theme, the concert's opening number will be the Grand March from Aida. Other orchestral numbers include Donkey Serenade by Friml and Bacchanale by Saint- Saens. The select chorus will harmonize to the tunes of Ode to Song by Wagner, Beau Soir by Debussy and Gloria Patri by Palestrina. Ballet dances will accompany the orchestra ar- rangement of Oklahoma and Bartered Bride. A highlight of the performance will be Mr. and Mrs. Terrian dancing to Begin the Beguinef' The choral readers and chorus will combine in presenting The Creation, and the girls chorus will sing three numbers. Trumpeter Dennis Jansen, '58, will solo on A Trumpeter's Lullaby and the Star1iners, consist- ing of Pius students and alumni will play Cake Walk. For the final number the orchestra, select chorus, and girls' chorus will present Battle Hymn of the Republic. Photo by Tum Tennies Oklahoma, Ok!

'LET9 BE CHARI T ABLE F OR CHRIS T ,S SAI E ' - Peter Mau... Perhaps the only proper way to begin an edi- torial on charity is to scratch up some synonyms for that word. Let's try a misunderstood little word. Let's try 'love.' What is love? Is there a need for love? If there were no material inter- dependence among human persons, would there be a need for love? If we didn't want the next fel- low's buck, would there be a need for love? If we didn't care to scale the social ladder, would there be a need for love? Is love merely a tool to bring about our own material happiness or is it some- thing more? If truth be told, which generally makes everyone happier, the psuedo-affections employed to gain ma- terial ends are not evidences of love. They are manu- factured little prattlings that are flaunted to attain a private goal. They are actions born of a con- cern for only one person, self. This preoccupation with self is one of the greatest barriers to our love's growth. To love self is to make our love the self wor- ship which is for God alone, for He alone is perfect love. The selfish person cannot love for fear he will lose his own vision of self. He is a person afraid to share. The love of this being becomes narrow and sour. It soon shrivels up and dies in its solitude. Love, to survive and grow in depth must encom- pass others. It must return and enlarge the love of others. It must concern itself wholly with the good of others, with the good of all. In knowing others, love does not judge, does not ridicule, does not de- grade the person of the loved. Love cares only for the well-being of the object of its love. The love of the being we call God is the singular reason for all things existing. Without this love nothing has any reason, any explanation. The command of Christ was to love all men in their humanity for love of Him. It is easy to love mankind as a vague intangible term, but to love the man across from you on the bus, the kid you find irritating, or the gas station attendantg this is the test of human love transcended by the Great Love. Love must not be a relative, limited thing, that is, our love for another must not be measured by comparison with that person's love for us. Love must strive to be perfect. This cannot be done when we limit the scope of our love on the basis of whether or not our love is returned with the same intensity it is given. All human love is imperfect until it is reciprocated in its infinite Source. Christ empha- sizes: You must be perfect. Perfect love exists in God alone. His love is an absolute, independent, eternal perfection. God, therefore, is the source and goal of all love. Because of the fallen nature of the human per- son, love of others is no easy accomplishment. It is its very difliculty which makes it the highest act man can offer to his God. We must not, however, con- sider other human persons as mere means of show- ing our love for God. They are, in their wholeness as human beings, to be loved. The person who truly loves another being realizes the dignity of the human person, realizes that he must not hinder, but must rather concern himself consciously with its welfare as an eternal being. To love is not easy when we find others do not recipro- cate. It seems only to give others the opportunity to take advantage of our love. They do. Our pride shrinks back from humiliation and disgrace. In our own eyes we are idealists. Yet we do not want to suffer the slightest discomfort in the name of our ideals. Again we can refer back to Christ. Christ, the idealist. No man suffered more for an ideal than did the God-man. Yet we weaken before humiliation and bow to human respect and fail to practice the greatest of Christian ideals, love. In his Your Other Self, French Canon Jean Vieujean remarks of the humble love: This love is not afraid of humiliation. It doesn't cry out: 'My dignity! My personality! My value! My prestige? Its care is only for the good of others. In living the routined human life we lead, love can and must be more than a Christian vaguity. It must motivate us in all our actions, in our work, in our home, and in our leisure. Larry Lock Learn Today-Lead Tomorrow Loveis Laboris Not Lost Grass grows greener, convertible tops slide down, picnics are in sight, students become mark conscious, and the want-ads become the most important section of the paper as, every spring, thousands of students start on summer-job-hunting safari. Money is needed for college, home, or plain rec- reation. Jill is graduating and not going on to schoolg she wants a permanent good-paying job. Phil just feels the summer job he wants will be good experience for his future career. There are, no doubt, many good reasons students get jobs, but the most prominent seems to be money. It's true that money's a darn nice reward for work and we have a right to it if we have performed the ap- pointed job. But did you ever notice in scanning the want-ad column that there's one word that is repeated over and over - benefits. These are of two kinds, nomi- nal and real. With the Young Catholic student these real benefits should evolve around a certain type of cha1'ity. It would be wonderful if real benefits were the main object of students. But we know better. In cases due to lack of funds for a college education or home prob- lems the student may have to have nominal benefits as his main interest. But this doesn't mean that charity should be non-existent. Take, for instance, a bus-driver. How many times have you seen the bus pull away just as the lady reaches the door, or heard the bus-driver put up a fuss because a passenger didn't have change. See how much more charitable it would have been to wait just one more minute or meet the five dollar bill with a friendly smile. Then there's the department store worker. Consider the pressure that must build up in a salesclerk when a buyer can't make up his mind, or after the clerk brings out ten pairs of shoes, the woman decides, I don't like any of them. Here's a good opportunity for charity in perseverence and self-control. Maybe by friendly and considerate conversation she can help the buyer decide.

Vol. XXVI, No. 8 May-June, 1960 These are just two examples, but you can see a job has to be more than just doing the bare essential work. It should serve as a means of elevating yourself, as a young Christian student, by real service to others. How about students who have jobs just to fill in summers. They might consider a job working with men- tally retarded children, the convalescent, or aged. How about welfare work, or working in Catholic Action agen- cies? Whether your intention be for real andfor nominal benefits, your job should serve as useful means on your safari of life. Janet Jacobchick Love, Man I love the Negro, if he stays in his place. Did you hear what Elma said when .... There he goes, the 'queer beer' of .... Sure we love our neighbor. What hypocrisy! Boldly we all anticipate eternal reward, yet cowardly, we lack the main requisite, charity. Although charity is the greatest of virtues, it surely is one of the rarest. How can we have charity for neighbors when we are ignorant of what it consists in? Let's begin with our close friends. A deep interest in the 'A' he got on his term paper, or in the yellow dress she got for her prom, an unselfish willingness to pick up that book from the library in his stead, when he is too busy, are essential. Consoling him when he can't get the car, concealing cuts given her by behind the back gossips, caring when she breaks her arm or when he cheats in class are important too. What it boils down to is this: we must develop an attitude to coincide with what Love Himself has said, Whatever you do to the least of My brethren, you have done to Me. But neighbor does not refer only to friends. It per- tains to all mankind, ugly or handsome, friendly or un- sociable, considerate or rude, light or dark. He deserves the same treatment that we owe to our friends. He has a right to our charity because he has an immortal soul which houses or housed our Creator. What concerns the South African in his fight for rights concerns us, since he is a part of the Mystical Body. We certainly can't be charitable to the South Afri- can if we know nothing about him. To know him we must read, and for him we must promote the best. Stimulating others' sympathy, informing the govern- ment here or over there of our attitude on the situation are a few examples of charity. How many of us ever consider refraining from one movie, one pizza, or one record, and replacing it with a CARE Package donation? Pharisees we are if we boast of charity and then are self-centered and disinterested in others. We must die to ourselves and live for others. Only when we accomplish this can we truly say we love our neighbor, can we legally claim the eternal life of charity, Heaven. Patricia Hoff Leisur Did you ever wake up on a hot July day and find yourself with nothing to do. At this point I ask myself, why are people so afraid of being alone with time on their hands? I hold the opinion that many .authorities on the subject of leisure have, namely, that people can't stand to be alone with themselves because they haven't learned how. They spend so much time running around in fruitless pursuits that they don't realize the pleasure and the value that comes from reading a good book, painting a picture, working at a little hobby, or just sitting down for a few hours of quiet contemplation. We may have been able to avoid singular leisure dur- ing the school year because of various activities, but we will undoubtedly be faced with many spare hours this summer. Will we welcome our spare hours and use them wisely to develop ourselves, or will we grit our teeth and wait for these idle hours to pass? Tom Check will discuss another aspect of leisure that is often overlooked. Patrick McGrath Relax Man Relaxation for relaxation's sake is the essence of leisure, so long as it does not degenerate into idleness. The essential of any action is proper motivation . . . charity. Theoretically the motivation for leisure must be solely for the benefit of the individual. In practice, however, it is precisely the re-creation of the individual that will benefit others. If we are to benefit others, which is true charity, we must have individuality to offer. Whether it be active or passive, the proper use of What could be more re-creative than the reading of a good book merely to enjoy it, or a walk at dawn merely to see nature and maybe later, good conversation and more specifically charitable works. Thus, relaxation for relaXation's sake which has not degenerated into idleness has created, without conscious effort, leisure for re-creation and leisure for charity. Tom Check Self-ishness Counts You do dishes for mom. You baby-sit with smaller brothers and sisters. You wash dad's car. You buy candy for your kid-brother. On the surface you are the ideal son or daughter. But what about your motives? You help with the dishes so mom will be a bit generous on her next shopping spree. You wash dad's car so it looks terrific when he hands over the keys. You baby- sit so you can go out when you want to. You buy candy for your kid-brother so he'll keep out of your treasures. Doing favors like these isn't bad and it may keep peace in the family, but the motivations are purely selfish. Occasional charitable acts do not constitute charity. Charity is the state of mind of giving one's self. What better place than in the family can one grow in and practice charity. Each member contributes himself for the benefit of other's, loving not out of obligation but out of understanding. Next time and all the time when you do favors for the family, don't be selfish, be self-ish, giving of your- self. Kathy Lennon leisure time can derive equal benefit. Real leisure will permit the enjoyment of time 1'ather than the struggle to create leisure time, which defeats the purpose of bene- fiting from effortless leisure. Dick Groninger Gary Bross George Blanchard Ron Dentinger Bart Thompson Press Picks Top 10 thletes Above and below this article are pictured the top ten athletes in the senior class as picked by the Journal sports staff. Some of the choices were obvious because of the number of sports participated in or because of the acclaim received in a certain field. Others were chosen more on their ability to help the team than for the outstanding rec- ords they may have compiled. We feel that such a person is just as beneficial to a team as the big record holders, although many of the latter have the spirit that makes them a Following is a brief summary of the achievements of these ten ath- letes. Many other athletes did com- mendable jobs, but space does not permit the listing of their achieve- ments. Dick Groninger: football, honor- able mention, all-conference, wres- tling.

In the first contest, Mr. Elger used four pitchers to hold the Bishops to six hits and three runs. The Popes pushed across four. Jim Jaeger at this writing has a respectable .333 batting average with four doubles, one triple and a home run. The circuit clout came against Messmer while the winning tally was Gary Bross's flashy steal of home. In the next duel, Pius ran up against an old friend, Marquette. The game was given to the little East side boys as Pius committed eight errors. Final score: Hilltop- pers 3, Popes 2. In the next game, Pius unloaded 8 Jim Braun The Scores Pius 4 Messmer 3 Pius 2 Marquette 3 Pius 4 Notre Dame 2 Pius 3 St. Bonaventure 5 Pius 1 Don Bosco 11 Pius 4 St. Joseph 6 Pius 8 St. Catherine 7 Track Squad Defend tate Titl The F o u r t h Annual Catholic Track Meet will be held at MU Sta- dium again. This year, Sunday, May 22 is the chosen date for this Pius sponsored event. Trials for the event will begin at 10:00 a.m. to be followed by the semifinals at 1:30 p.m. Sixteen schools from all parts of the State will drift into the city and try to dethrone Pius as defending champs at the stadium. Last year Pius snatched six out of fourteen events, setting five new records. Returning to the event to defend the Pius title will be three meet rec- ord holders. Bob Heller will return to defend his 100 and 200 yd. rec- ords. A good bet to break his shot put record will be Bart Thompson. Chuck Yahnke will also try to hold his own on the broad jump. Stomping the Angels 92-26 tells the story of Pius' romp over the St. Catherine track team. Our team took twelve of the fourteen Tees Try Wits Golf? Why I didn't even know Pius had a golf team. Not many stu- dents do. Why don't the students know this team? Well, that's not hard to ex- plain. Golf is not a spectator sport, and as far as a team competitive sport goes, it hardly fills the require- ments. Then why play on the golf team? It doesn't have the glory of football or basketball. Actually, golf provides a chal- lenge in every turn of the course, every lie of the ball. Golf is a game of relaxation combined with a game of wits. Which iron? What's the wind? What's the grain of the green? The game is like a mystery. As far as our team is concerned, the golf team opened up in glorious fashion this year at Grant park. Though one Bosco boy shot the best golf, Pius's team was much more consistent. Mike Flaherty was low slicer for the Popes with a fine 39. Following Mike was Gary Ku- besch with a 41. Schmitz, Kosikow- ski, Sobczynski and Hess hold 43's, and Staley and Hastings carted 46's. Jim Braun events at the meet. Five new rec- ords were set by the Pius squad. Jim DeNomie ran the half-mile in 2:4.5, and Bob Heller broke the 221 record with the time of 22.5. The sprint re- lay team consisting of Bob Heller, Jim DeNomie, Mike Smoody and Carl Gee set the new record of 1:34.8. The broad jump record was broken by Chuck Yahnke with a distance of 20 ft. 5 in. Bart Thompson, who seems to be throwing the shot fur- ther every meet, snapped the shot record that day with a throw of 52 ft. 715 in. Breaking a Record The shot put record Bart Thomp- son set in the St. Kate's meet was short-lived as he put the shot for a distance of 53 ft. 1 in. in the Memo- rial meet on April 26. This meet was similar to the Catherine's event as Pius took it by the score of 93-25, taking eleven events. Except for Thompson's throw, times and dis- tances were poor because of the un- desirable condition of the track. Neil Casey The Lighter Side It is with great reluctance that I pick up my pen to write my farewell address. My mind is clogged with nostalgic memories of my past year as sports editor-the nights that I spent behind the veiled door of 117, trying to meet deadline. Ah, the Staff Room, that quaint little room with its warm, homey atmosphere, everything neatly arranged. It was behind those four walls that I handed down to posterity the stories of Pius' successful season in athlet- ics: the football championship that we lost to Marquette high school: how the basketball team missed go- ing to the state tournament by a point. But enough of this sentimen- tal small talk, for it is time for the old one to take his place in the an- nals of history along with the other illustrious sports editors. Without any further ado I would like to announce that next year's sports editor is Jim Braun. Mr. Braun has undergone his apprentice- ship as a cub reporter and now is ready for the big time. I would like to leave Mr. Braun with a few words of advice. If things get tough next year, there is a little package for you in the second drawer of the fil- ing cabinet.

I wandered into school with a schedule quivering in one hand and eight text- books stuck under the other. I still consider stumbling upon my h0me' room as somewhat of an accident. As I cautiously stepped inside, my eyes searched for a familiar face. It was a futile attempt. I knew no one. At this point, I seriously thought of re- treating homeward. Just then a bell rang and a funny little lady wearing a red-checked coat, sneakers, and an unusual hair style walked in, closed the door and started to lead prayer. This was Miss Wack, who was to be my homeroom teacher for the whole year. She proceeded to read off three and one-half pages of instructions and notes which we were to follow throughout the day. Due to her grammar and accent, I was no better off than before. Another bell rang and I began my wayward journey through the corridors of Pius. As the day progressed, however, I s o on learned the code of the room num- bers. By the end of the week, I had memorized my whole schedule. Craig Landre 230 Although in a few months I will be leaving s c h o o l, the memories and friends will always remain a part of me. During the past four years the world was opened to me. I learned to take my place in it. I grew spirit- ually and physically with the help of my many fine teachers. I made last- ing and true friends. Freshman year was a slow, unex- citing year. Everything was new, and it took me the entire year to ad- just myself to high school. Sophomore year was little better. I felt like a big wheel because there was a class below me. I looked down at the little freshies. It was toward the end of this year that I began to think seriously of why I was here, and what I would do after graduation in two more years. The third year, junior year, was a wonderful year because I began to settle down to work. Even the teach- ers seemed to regard me as an adult. Most of my goofing around stopped and was replaced by seriousness. I Tomorrow seemed to be let more on my own. There were many responsibilities and opportunities to show and express my ideas. The final year, senior year, was the best of all. But, as I look back it seems to have gone awfully fast. It is now up to me to carry out the things I learned in school. There will be more responsibilities now than be- fore. Along with these memories, come the thanks to my teachers. It was these teachers with my fellow stu- dents that made these four years so enjoyable and easy to remember al- ways. Kathy Balint It's true we've had numerous drives here at Pius, but there is one in par- ticular that I don't think I'll forget! This drive was held during my fresh- man year. Yes, you've p r o b a b l y guessed it already, it was our choco- late drive which, as you remember, was held to secure new band uni- forms. As I remember, each student was required to sell, at the minimum, ten chocolate bars. Oh, and we were given the handiest little carrying bag you've ever seen! That evening I set out to try and sell my candy. I approached each person by saying, Would you like to buy some of the World's Finest Cho- colate? If this little introduction didn't get them I went on to tell them that the proceeds were going to buy new band uniforms. At some homes I was more fortun- ate than others, but all in all there was one phrase which remained in my memory for weeks after the drive. The famous phrase Was, Would you like to buy some of the World's Fin- est Chocolate? Mary Beth Mihm 216 The most memorable experience in my four years at Pius will be, of course, the FTA. Throughout senior year I was active everyday perform- ing some function in the club. It never left me idle and always com- manded my attention. Although to most people it appears that we are just giving a service to the school, the individual is the one who attains the most benefit. It forces him to get up 36 before a group, to command their at- tention, to get it and to hold it. It is this necessity in a situation which de- velops his ability to handle other situ- ations no matter what they are later in life. I believe the FTA, with the co-operation of th e individual, is more helpful to him than any other aspect of high school. Kenneth Theine 216 One day during a chemistry ex- periment, my partner and I were mix- ing the experiment ingredients. We lit our bunsen burners. Sud- denly, our mixture spilled over the table and caught fire! A thought struck mel I was next to a sink. Quickly, I reached into a drawer and found a beaker, filled it with water and threw it on the fire. Everyone started throwing water on the blaze, and we were saved. For the gallant action of our teacher, plus the students, we were awarded a special medal of honor from Father Becker. Patricia Babcock 310 An unforgettable experience of a Pionite might be any day of the year. Think back, just try to remember your days, say as a senior. A typical day at Pius begins at eight ten, except for the perpetual latecomer. First period English, oh, how grammar and mechanics become especially, shall we say, tiring so early in the morning. But I struggle through and before I know it I'm sit- ting in Father Hueller's religion class doing my homework for third period bookkeeping. Now let's see, do my assets equal my liabilities and pro- prietorship? Father doesn't seem to think sog he says it equals time after school. Well I finally make bookkeep- ing and boy, then the fun begins. Sister Thomasella issues the orders of the day, Write it over . . . you for- got to skip a line. Ah, next is the relaxing part of the day, lunch. I take lunch because everybody says it was such a breeze course. Then comes the afternoon, typing. Oh, I still have calluses on my finger tips. Then at the peak of my success on the typewriter, 30 words a minute with as many errors, the bell rings and off I go to psychology and our mad scientist, Mr. Riegert. It's al- most two o'clockg only a study hall to go, or shall we say, a sleepy hall to go. Yes, I have a hard day at Pius. Tom Donnelly 234 In high school, I came in contact with one thing essential to man- music-and I discovered that I en- joyed it Cgood music, that isj. I couldn't have had two more wonderful teachers or terrific musicians. Our Select Chorus had a homey atmos- phere. All of the members had the best interest of the chorus at heart, with very few exceptions. It pro- vided an outlet for our needs to create. It is difficult to explain the satisfaction we experienced when we had put on a good performance. The contests we entered spurred us on to- wards improvement and work. I will miss this bright spot in my day, this privilege of helping to put on a cul- tural program, this ability to express myself in song. Mariann Schmidt 226 Now that I'm ready to graduate I'm beginning to want school to last a little longer. I think of all the friends I'll probably never see again and the various activities I'll no long- er be able to watch or take part in with the same spirit. John Kelly 306 It was 8:09. I swung my car into a parked position and ran as fast as I could toward the school entrance. Stopping only to pick up the book I dropped on the way, I reached the door. With speed I didn't even know I had, I ran, stumbling and panting to the second floor. I swung around. Before me lay another two flights. Relentlessly I raced up, bitter at the third floor homeroom I had to get stuck with. Almost knocking down a teacher on his way to class, I sped on. The corridors were dead. I figured I had only seconds. But I was only ten feet away. No Sweat, I breathed a sigh of relief because I had made it. Hey, you! I t u r n e d swiftly. Should I make a run for it or find out what the teacher wants? Come here! Trying to explain my position about being late, I noticed this did not seem to bother him. The sternness in his eyes gave me a feeling that everything wasn't quite kosher. What's the big idea? the man said. I explained that I was sorry for almost bumping into himg he seemed to have some other concern. The bell rang! I was late! Well, I then thought I'd squeeze a pass oif this guy. But he looked at me queerly. Do you go to school here? Yes, I do, was my reply. Then may I ask you what you're doing in here with a cigarette hang- ing out of your mouth? Pete Ruppert A hush moves over the audience as the first measure of the Seventeen Overture sings out. The excitement backstage builds with each crescendo. Each member of the cast knew his lines perfectly yesterday, but now? The audience is eagerly awaiting the parting of the curtainsg the players take their assigned positions. The call Curtain going up, brings with it all the excitement of theater life. With a prayer, the players spring into action- Willy get a wiggle on. The last scene seems to come all too soon. Summertime is sung for the last time. Though the songs are sung for the last time, the memory of them will live on in each member of Pius' 1960 Senior Class. Karen Case 213 Among my mo s t memorable of memorable experiences, I recall the day of November 1, 1958-a wonder- ful seventy-degrees Sunday afternoon with the sun shining and a few clouds drifting in the sky. It was two p.m., at the University of Marquette foot- ball stadium. Pius XI High School was holding a 7-0 record, while their rival Marquette boasted a 6-1 record. Two hours later, Pius XI High School distinguished itself with its first un- disputed championship in the history of its membership to the conference. Ted Corona 226 37 Boy it must really be rough hav- ing to sit in there listening to those kids sing the same song, watching them repeat the same dance. You must be ready to scream! That was one girl's description of my sitting in on tryouts. However, if I had had time I would have stopped and told her my side of the story. Oh, I was tired but it was too interesting to fall asleep. I mean, there I sat for I don't know how long watching my classmates show all they could offer by way of talent. It wasn't the same old song over and over. It was a new song because each time a new person sang it. He's too quiet or tense. - She's got a cute interpretation. - Why don't t h e y move around a little more instead of staying glued to the same spot?- She'd had it if she'd only smile. All those people and I'm sure that there were no two alike. I thought everyone could dance if they tried hard enough. But alas! I was soon to find out that God made two kinds of people, those with a right foot and a left foot, and those with two left feet. I also made a dis- covery: it is utterly impossible to make a student at Pius dance and smile at the same time. After sitting through this so-called torture I should have known all the tricks of the trade. But then came the fateful hour when it was my turn to tryout. To this day I cannot re- member one thing I said or did. Ter- rified to the core with a feeling that my life depended on getting a part, I must have moved about without ever using my brain. I made it! One thing I do remem- ber is the joyful day I met Pius' Willie Baxter, Johnnie Watson, Emmie Martin, and the rest of the cast of Seventeen. And on that day I was glad I had sat in on those kids tryouts because I know what I was working alongside and I call it talent! I think you will too! Joan Leising 310 Things were not as expected the first semester of senior year. First of all, the underclassmen had the nerve not only to boycott the use of bubbler passes and chapel slippers but also to deny us the common courtesy of carrying our books or shining our shoes. I'd venture to say that, except for being on the second floor, things were the same as they had been past years. Ah, but what is life without its crosses! Robert Diedrich 207 The long-awaited day came. It was the first basketball game in which I would represent our school. I had been awaiting the Cudahy game for months and had often played it in my mind. It was the day of the game and my ride was to pick me up at 6:00 p.m. As the clock said 6:30 p.m., I had a feeling he wasn't going to show up. When I arrived at Cudahy the game was in the third quarter. I took a seat directly behind the bench and hung my head low. Mac, who was coaching the B team for the first few games, turned and said, Suit up. I bounced to my feet only to find out that he was referring to the varsity and not to me. Everyone laughed ex- cept the person in question who very slowly resumed his spot in the bleach- ers feeling very embarrassed. Jim Nothem 216 These be three outstanding things : a talented class, largest class, and best behaved class. Gary Kohnke 230 I cannot say that there was only one unforgettable experience here at Pius, for I have had many which I will never forget. Pius XI there is an air of friendship and happiness in the halls and classes. I will always remember my days here because they brought me great joy. There were a few days when I did get fed up, but I guessed it has happened to every student. Now that we are graduating, we can hardly wait to leave and go out into the world. In a few years we will wish we could be back here at Pius to feel the air of happiness and friendship once again. Phil Lehmann 208 For the most part, my four years in high school have had the purpose of paving the road toward my future life. The past two years, especially, have been spent in learning the busi- ness subjects for my job after gradu- ation. Even though the educational part of high school has been the most im- portant, it alone will not have formed the memory left in my mind of my high school days. After graduation I will look back on all the wonderful so- cial times I had . . . the Homecoming -dances, the tobogganing parties, the exciting football games we didn't al- ways win, and all the the other good timesql had. These plus all the friends I made and all the things I learned will be the most memorable part of my high school days. Jeanne Caspary 230 I think the most unforgettable ex- perience I had at Pius took place in my junior year. About two weeks before the annual Sweetheart Dance I asked C a r ol Christl, presently of 234, if she would like to go. Her reply inspired me a great deal. She was voted Sweetheart of her homeroom and rightly so. Well, the night of the dance came and we tripled, due to lack of automobiles at the time, and were almost late. I had no idea she would become sweetheart of the whole school and be crowned by Miss Wisconsin. After she was crowned by Miss Kay Ross, we led off the dance. After the dance we went out to eat in Royal fashion. Believe me, it is a memory worth remember- ing. Mike Komassa I have learned many things during my years at Pius, I have learned to be assured of a good job when I leave school. I have learned the Catholic views toward marriage and the Cath- olic views toward the raising of chil- dren. I have learned, after all these years of supervision, how to get along on my own. Karen Rothe 226 I will remember graduation as a symbol of the end and a symbol of the beginning. For four years we have experienced many different things. We've worked, we've laughed, we've cried and for what? For the day we could proudly walk out on the stage and receive a diploma, an- nouncing our passing into a new life. Dorothy Zamborini 205 Whenever we have an assembly the seniors sit on the ground Hoor. This always makes me feel like I am perched in a cage and everybody is looking at me. And a very interesting point this year is going to be the first year that it is my last year. Mike Blankenheim 234 In all my years, days, and hours spent-not entirely in vain-in high school, there has happened not one event which I would care to single out as most memorable. Those hap- penings which I shall someday look back upon, I would certainly not clas- sify as something to write about. And those happenings more fitting 38 for an essay, I am sure I shall never look back upon. Memorable events, to me, would be personal thingsg hours of enriching conversation, moments of laughter, times of embarrassment, acknowl- edgement, and pride, occasions shared with friends and teachers, Whom I will remember and respectg little victories and momentous tri- umphs. All these things I shall re- call, thankful that they are still my own private memories. Judith Guenther 308 Late in the fall of '59, we juniors walked around proudly showing our class rings for the admiration and envy of the lower-classmen. Cathy Gence 308 After our performance at the music festival, we all hoped for the best. A week later, we listened to the judge's tape recording of criticisms. He said, Excellent . . . Very good . . . Fair . . . Excellent . . . Overall rating A-1. With these last words a small cheer went up from the chorus room. Roger Blankenheim 216 The most significant thing about my high school education at Pius was my Religion classes. In grade school we were taught about the life of Christ and we learned the definitions of all the doctrines of our religion, but it was in high school that I came to really appreciate my religion. Never before have I been so aware of the part of Christ in my life. I am very grateful for the new love I have found for Christ through my school and friends. Karen Ernst 218 One that really sticks in my mind occurred in Junior English class. Marilyn Vogt, Mary Jane Prondzin- ski, and I were in Mr. Fenelon's sec- ond period English class last year. We also were in band together first period. Before Homecoming we were practicing marching on the parking lot for the half-time program. The class decided they wanted a preview of the Homecoming half-time pr - gram right in English class. Mr. Fenelon naturally agreed with them. There was no way of getting out of it. We marched. Each one of us had different parts in the formations so we marched together about three steps and then went off in different directions. I 'spose the kids in class would remember this if it were men- tioned to them, but the three of us who did the marching don't have to be reminded. Kathy Aubert 216 High school years are the forma- tive years of adolescents. They serve as steppingstones froma child's world to an adult world. They also do much to contribute to the maturity of an in- dividual. When I look back on our class of 1960 in freshman year and compare the same students now in the senior year, I cannot help but see the strik- ing development which has occurred in almost all of us. This naturally did not occur over night. The greatest de- velopment seemed to take place be- tween the junior and senior year. In the previous years of high school, our class seemed to be more enthralled with social activities, sports, etc., and consequently, little time was left for, the educational side of school. The weekly football, basketball, and track games, the dances, the parties, etc., seemed to be the main interest. This year, however, it is different. Most of us realize that this is our last year of dependence of irresponsibil- ity. After graduation, we must go out into the world to make something out of ourselves. Thus, we began to realize the importance of education. Also, the desire to learn is more clearly visible now. Many things contributed to our ma- turity. The teachers, for one, did a lot by giving us more freedom, more responsibility, and more independ- ence. As a result, it was the senior class of 1960 that was the first to bring in their money for the booster drive. Also, it was the senior class of 1960 which holds the honor of be- ing responsible for winning the WCAC Variety Show. Yes, these and many more things contributed to the maturity of the class of 1960. And this can all be attributed to the train- ing received at Pius. Janet Barbera 226 The class of 1960 has really put its best foot forward by coming out with many first's. One of the more out- standing things contributed to Pius was the winning of the WCAC Va- riety Show. As you are most prob- ably aware, Pius has not been able to gain that title since 1955. What about culture? you ask. Oh, yes, we have included that in our scope of adventure too. The athlete has had his foot in it too. Although only juniors at the time, we succeeded in helping place first in the football conference, this also was a new honor for Pius. I might add that last year we also over- took the faculty in the Junior-Fac- ulty basketball intramural. And who could forget the shocking, historic event that took place in our senior year-the closing of school for a day because of bad weather! True, history did repeat itself, but not since 1947. We have succeeded in leaving some- thing more behind us than footprints. The 1960 class accredited itself with many activities over these past four years. There are some things that will possibly never be surpassed things that will make all the future classes of Pius look up and say: That 1960 class was sure some class! Ruth Simon 214 My friends and I started our fresh- man year with definite attitudes as to what high school should do for us. We expected to encounter friendli- ness on all sides and to be swept up in a whirl of social activities modeled after some of the recent books we had read. After approximately three months of school we realized something was definitely wrong. The other students were friendly enough, but they more or less stuck with their group of friends. As of yet none of us had be- come as popular as we had hoped. None of us had attended the Home- coming Dance and the senior boys still didn't know we existed. In acute disappointment we decided we had to belong to the clique if we wanted to get something out of Pius. Now as seniors looking back on our first impressions of Pius, my friends and I can see how ridiculous our rash judgments had been. We realize now that we too had stuck close together, guarding ourselves a g a i n s t the strangeness of our new environment. While desiring new friends, our wall of protection had frightened them away. In addition, we had set our ex- pectations of high school glamour too high, failing to consider what we were really here for-to get an edu- cation. We know today it wasn't Pius that wouldn't accept us but rather we who wouldn't accept Pius. Luckily, we woke up in time to make our years at high school, happy ones. Sharon Dardis 215 I dunno 39 Sophomore year was my second year in this enormous structure called Pius XI High School. I was just getting used to the up and down stairs, the sisters and priests, the numbers, and the daily schedule when out of a clear blue sky the adminis- tration changes the length of the classes, the number of minutes be- tween each class, and moves the girls' gym into the studyhall. Jim Panenka 205 Excitement! Thrill! Suspense! It was quite different those first few weeks of high school. We had been drastically cut off from the daily routine of sitting in one drab room for all classes. Now once every hour for five minutes the halls become a race track with a perpetually flowing stream of people moving in every pos- sible direction. There was also one other great difference-no recess! Mary Ellen Kress 214 Sophomore year began as we, in our second sophisticated year, handed out bubbler passes and chapel slippers to the unsuspecting freshman. Sherry Laur 222 nw- 66 , ll!

But it's a beauti- ful picture of the band in full regalia, anyway. i 1 l lVI'scellan Y ..-....M.-,,..,.....ms-www' 41 Here's another of those if-you're-not- on-it-don't-blame-us-shots.

Pictured with the letter are Pius' play program and a script copy. uthor's Wife Writes to Cast There's no place like Weatherbee's Drug Store. And so we found out the other day when the family of Pius student and cast member, Jim Becker, wrote to the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce asking about the authenticity of the play's setting and characters. They received two separate replies, one from the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce and another one from the wife of Seventeen's author, Booth Tarkington. Mrs. Tarkington expressed hopes that the play would be a rousing suc- cess. In response to the Beckers' questions, she replied, My husband always claimed he never wrote of any person known to him, but rather of characters in his mind-no doubt suggested by living persons. No drug store by the name in the play-though perhaps such a place once existed. The author's wife expressed regrets that she didn't see Pius' production of Seventeen The cast is equally regretful that Mrs. Tarkington did not attend.

Orators cleaned up in the Midwest Catholic Speech tournament by ob- taining the coveted Sweepstakes trophy, after winning three other team trophies Cfirst in forensics for the year and day, first in dramatic declamation for the yearj that day. Also, Bob Weishan and Jim Mur- taugh, both in debate, along with Carolyn Lindquist in forensics, won individual medals. A clean sweep in the National English scholarship competition was broomed in by Maryellen Haberstroh, Barbara Spakowski, Neil Casey and James Beschta. These Pius finalists are eligible for scholarships which will be awarded January 13, 1960. Another addition to Pius' bullion stock was an exhibit on Neurological Cytology by junior Dick Haas, who garnered an A rating at the Wiscon- sin Junior Academy of Science. In the musical department Pius sent thirteen representatives to the state contest. Of these, seven placed first. Finally, teaming up with a type- writer, senior Monica Moran won the Regional championship in Facit Ac- curacy Contest in Typing. 48 James Nazzal Diane Baumgartner Diane Reisenauer Karen Rothe Wayne Scholz Antoinette Mille Ann Sauve Orchestra Gold Pins: Jim Amrhein Robert Jansen Edwin Bruns John Wagner Barbara Janis Mary Ellen Kress Marilyn Wojcik Silver Pins: Richard Mathis Karen Allgeyer Janet Jacobchick Polly Kallenberger Margaret Roney Harvey Schmidt Michael Stoner Dorothy Zamborini Band Gold Pins: Sandra Leonard Evelyn Sandri Clyde Haberman Silver Pins: Richard Ditrich Jack Versnik Tom Cassidy Monica Moran Sandra Jostes Tom Pecor Wayne Zeman Mary Machin Alice Dempsey Marilyn Vogt Kathy Aubert Marie Schmittner Science Southeastern Wisconsin S c i e n c e Fair: Honorable Mention: Roger Blankenheim Bill Baumgart Carolyn Bude Bill Stanis Ken Theine Ed Kosikowski Gary Kubesch Third Place - Physics: Ron Iwinski Fourth Place - Biology: Mary Haas Dental Award: Doris Kronmueller Pius Science Fair: First Place-Physics: Fred Ludwig Ed Winkler Jim Stack Second Place - Physics Ed Kosikowski Gary Kubesch Third Place - Physics Carolyn Bude Honorable Mention - Chemistry: Kathy Lennon Bridgette Stabl Marie Schmittner Drew Slaby First Place - Biology: Ken Theine Third Place -- Biology: Alice Litchy Bonnie Phillips Gold Key - Regional Gold Medal- National Honorable Mention: Marsha Vander Heyden Honorable Mention - Sculpture: Charles Burke Gold Key--Silk Screen Print: James Sampon Music enemy-Q ,agww Photo by Leon Ploszaj Here we have the senior members of our smiling forensic team.
