THE 1962 ARROW Presented by the Students of ;t. alphonsus HIGH SCHOOL Dearborn, Michigan Vol. VIII Conducted by Sistefrs of St. Dominic Adrian, Michigan WE ARE 2 ARROWS ST. ALPHONSUS STUDENTS. u ON THE MOVE FACULTY Am CLASSES The “Arrows are on the Move” in meeting the modern educational trends demanded of students today. Our curriculum achieves its aim by developing the “whole man” spiritually, scholastically, athletically and socially. Basic subjects include religion, language, modern mathematics, social studies and science; earth science is taught in preference to general sci- ence. Electives are drafting, art, clothing, com- mercial, choral and band. While the majority of students follow t h e college preparatory course, many choose the commercial courses in preparation for their life’s work. St. Al- phonsus School is accredited with the University of Michigan. Our Priests Lead Us HIS EXCELLENCY MOST REVEREND ALEXANDER M. ZALESKL D.D. Auxiliary Bishop of Detroit Pastor of Saint Alphonsus Parish 10 to Spiritual Fulfillment Religion for the St. Alphonsus student is not restricted to the religion class but permeates his entire day. Regardless of the subject he studies, Christian principles are the determining factor in daily discussions and controversies. His opportunities for spiritual advancement include the daily eleven-thirty Mass, reception of the sacraments, weekly religion classes taught by the priests, annual retreats, membership in the sodality, altar boys, sacristans and Catholic Students’ Mission Crusade. Addressing the students at an Honors Convocation is serious business. The Reverend Bernard Dominick, however, in his initial talk to the student body, injects enough humor to make the assembly “sit up and listen.” Controversial topics introduced by the Reverond Francis Granger often provoke a lively discussion among the seniors. John Demers and Larry Gilsdorf ensnare Father after class for a friendly “rehash” of a popular subject. Religion Continued Perseverance despite human frailty keynoted the meditative talks throughout the three-day retreat directed by the Reverend James Murphy. Father is one of the assistant priests at Holy Name Parish, Detroit. 12 Most popular of the Advent customs handed down to us is the wreath made of evergreens, bound to a circle of wire. German in origin—it was taken, so we are told, from the pagan fire wheel—the wTeath represents the cycle of thousands of years The Reverend Harold Wolf, while as sembling his notes in preparation for one of his religion classes, interjects from Adam to Christ, during which the world awaited the coming of a redeemer. The wreath here is lighted by Christine Parfen and Michael Rel- linger while the class recites the traditional prayers for the third week of the liturgical season. a humorous anecdote to arrest the at- tention of these sophomores. A familiar landmark in the parish cemetery inspires Christine Przychorski, Richard Bourgoise and Dan Fad£r to reflect on the heroic deeds of our war veterans. Determined to find the right answer, Lucy Tambeau and Ed Birrell set to work. Church history questions, when posed by the Reverend Alex Brunett, are not only challenging to the juniors, but thoroughly enjoyable. Sister Marie Ruth, O.P. Principal The life of a school principal is a busy one and that of Sister Marie Ruth is no exception. Her wise judgment and direc- tion, quiet but forceful, has earned the deep respect which the student body has for her. The public address system, directives to the girls who assist her in the running of errands and the business of the moment, all convey the import of her guiding hand. Assistants Janice Melford, Claire Neme and Marlene Wozny listen attentively to sugges- tions being made by Sister for better effi- ciency and order. Although Sister Marie Ruth has just completed her second year at St. Alphonsus, her interest in each stu- dent has won a lasting place in the esteem of the entire student body. Commercial Courses Accelerate Secretarial Skills Preparing photostatic copies of transcripts minimizes the daily office load of secretary Mrs. Louise McGuire. Senior Bemadine Majek is fascinated by the efficiency of this time-saver. Alert to the efficiency and accuracy demands of the day. St. Alphonsus future secretaries take advantage of the skills and techniques offered them in our com- mercial department. Additional shorthand records, a new dictaphone, calculator, participation in bookkeep- ing, shorthand and typing contests challenge our future business men and women to hold their own in the busi- ness world. Oblivious to the clicks of the surrounding typewriters, future secretary Patricia McElligatt familiarizes herself with the human voice of the dictaphone. Add, subtract, divide, or multiply, Tom Kelly is sure to get the correct answer under Sister Jean Ellen’s careful supervision. Temporarily entrusted to the commercial department, the pop- ularity of the calculator though short-lived, demands a perma- nent place in the business classes. Literature Fosters Evaluation, Appreciation Modern Devices Develop Fluent Writers, Public Speakers Interpretative readings from Wall Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass,” were presented to the senior class by former St. Alphonsus graduate Diane Kelley (foreground) and fellow U. of D. speech majors Michael Richard, Marilyn Dudek and Michael Heffer- nan. Mr. Lawrence W. Rudick (extreme right) is the instructor. English students at St. Alphon- sus are well aware of the present day demands of fluency in writ- ing and speaking. Modern devices —the opaque projector, tape re- corder, filmstrips and record play- er—are used freely and effectively for greater appreciation and accu- racy. The “greats” from Chaucer to Sandburg become better known through panel discussions and dra- matic skits; the writing of essays, short stories and term papers, the reading of classics and frequent library assignments, all help the student today to think critically, to realize life as he lives it, to be prepared for whatever lies ahead. The “know-how” of library tools is essential to well-read stu- dents. Assistant librarians Michael Bazner, Janice Marshall, Patricia O’Niel, and Nancy Robak learn the importance of these fundamental techniques from librarian Mrs. Kalhryi Pierson. Writing term papers is one linn� ; viewing errors on the screen of the opaque projector is another. Mary Ulicny, Thomas Lyons and John Maegerlein agree with Sister Marie Irene that this instructive device motivates English IV students to better and more accurate writing. Utilizing the captivating power that reproduction of sound alerts English III student Phyllis Czerwienski to the errors possesses, Sister Marie Annette, aided by the tape recorder, in one of her themes. 17 English continued ‘7 have brought you gold, I have paid your fee. Nor have I come to see you hanging on the gal- lows tree,” exclaims Vince Ca- pizzo, English I trouper fright), as he rescues his “true love” Garry Faja in this dramatic scene from “The Hangman’s Tree.” “Federal Aid to Education” was the topic presented by English III debaters Felix Lakomy, William Crowley, and Gregory Potts. Captivated by the intricacies discovered in the poetic works of Ogden Nash, English I future poets Rose Marie Slesinski, Gary Pearson, and 18 “Wake up your audience technique is demonstrated by English III panelists Kathleen Peterson, Patri- cia Owen, Joan Kanclerz, Cynthia Centkowski, and Christine Dombrowski. The theme of the discus- sion stressed the impor- tance of keeping Christ in Christmas. Depicting scenes from Whittier’s Snowbound offers a note of variety to the English II class. The well-known line, “Boys, a path,” appeals to the artistic ability of William Martz and Gregory Kott. 19 Investigation into Past, Current, Future Events Tracing the oscillating history of Europe and America, exploring the geography of the earth and analyzing Ameri- ca’s economic structure keynote the social studies cur- riculum. Filmstrips, maps, the stock exchange, labor unions, inflation, the Senior Scholastic, Newsweek, Time and the papal Encyclicals not only provide the students with background material for discussion but, what is more important, familiarizes them with local, national and world events. Stock markets, communism, unions, socialism, are controversial enough to wake any sleepy upperclass- men first period of ANY morning. Sister Ruth James Tragic moments in history are reviewed by modem history instructor Mr. David Kline and students Richard Topolewski and Judith Bochenak. An old Detroit Times publication dated prior to the birthdates of these sophomores captivates and holds their interest. 20 Keynotes Social Studies Curriculum applies the right formula to win the attention of economics students Elmer Teed, Steve Lubek and Donna Pemmit. Probing the wonders of steam, diesel and atomic energy, provides interesting discussion between John Telfer and Dwaine Koscielniak in their world geog- raphy class. Yankee Doodle comes to the American History' class in the person of Ken Marciniak and his “dandy” horn. Deviating from the usual formality is a treat for these young historians. A repeat performance would be in order at any time. 21 Science Department Advances in New Techniques Traveling Science Library, Overhead Projector, Aid in Probing the Unknown A complete remodeling of the human torso will have taken place by the time seniors Gerald Fazekas and John Sierota have completed their biology course. The science department has not attempted to put space satellites into orbit, but it has kept in progressive step with American science. The traveling science library, current periodicals, earth sci- ence charts, the opaque and overhead projectors, film- strips, individual research and laboratory work, partic- ipation in the science fair, all instill an urge in our fu- ture “Einsteins” to probe further into the wonders of science and to learn more about the men who discov- ered them. Up in {he Air is literally shown by Mark Wrona as he works to create the needed pressure for this chemistry 22 Meteorological Studies had a new significance for the earth science class as American Airlines agent, Mr. James Holmberg, explains the daily weather charts to freshmen Joseph Artman, Lorraine Denby and Lawrence Fitch. “Hydropanic gardening is the latest,” says Christina Klein as she assists sophomore biologists Frank Belyan and Paul Marietti to carry out the next step in their soilless growing experiment. cloud-chamber experiment be- ing carefully superintended by Kristina Worosz, Joan Kanclerz and Robert Mydlowski. “F y American is the advice of Mr. Walt Carson to Richard Stepien and Diane Fisher as he interests them in the Boeing 707 Jet. 23 Science Continued White over night is quickened to “within a split second” as Virginia Stackable bears the brunt of Jim Potoczak and Don Temes’ (extreme left) capers in the physics lab.

Tight as a Clam is seldom said of Eliza- beth Beveridge, but Tom Mazur succeeded in a biology laboratory class as Fred On-the-spfit learning is enjoyed by senior physics students Joseph Shevock, Lawrence Gilsdorf and william Keller as Mr. James Carson of the American Airlines explains the functioning of the turbo-fan engine, the latest in air transportation. 24 f If ater — Pressure — Fun! Gen- eral science experiments add a light note to class when Thomas Ulicny, Nancy Kelley and James Wozniak are in action. Bialczyk and Lorraine Bessinger wonder skeptically just how long it will last. Fascinated by their research, Nancy Gillissie and John Schikora ask Sister Thomas Cecile to confirm their conclusions that photosynthesis is directly related to the effects of sunlight. 25 Latin Students Learn to Read Ancient Writers To appreciate the culture, cus- toms and language of the Roman people is the aim of our classicists. This is achieved through oral and written reports, derivatives, mythol- ogy, and a study of the structure of the language. The Latin banquet, membership in the Junior Classical League, the celebration of Latin Week, the receiving of certificates and medals in the National Latin Examination, the singing of Latin songs and the ability to read the Latin authors, are the laurels won by those who withstand the monot- ony of declensions and conjuga- tions. Cicero’s Orations are temporarily set aside by Mr. Barton De Merchant who ade- quately explains the Advent Liturgy. Advanced Latin students Felix Lakomy and Veronica Ewald find Latin anything but a dead language in their classes jam- packed with humor, life and supplementary information. Welcoming a change from the monotony of declensions and conjugations, Janet Jarvis and Robert Matuszak apparently have pleased their teacher. Sister Joseph Ann, who finds the display an agree- able innovation to the Latin I class. 26 -|- -f- i = 7. Most people will disagree with these I atin medalists Marguerite Hoffman, Cynthia Centkowski and Ann Marie Swier. However, the trophy, presented by National Honor Society president Charles Burch at an Honors Convocation, speaks for itself. The Association for the Promotion of the Study of Latin awards a trophy to the school for every total of three medals earned by top students in the annual Latin examination. Home was built in a week when it filled the halls and rooms of St. Alphonsus in the form of model homes, cos- tumed dolls, mosaics, camps and roads during Latin Week. Interested in the construction of a Roman home are sopho- mores Bill Martz, Richard Schlaff, Judith Bochenek and Leslie Campau. Will you have a grape, an egg or an olive? Freshman slaves cater to the whims of the Roman gods and goddesses at the annual Latin banquet—and they love it. The food, costumes, and cushions combined to provide an atmosphere of “old Rome. ’ 27 Precision and detail well describe the accomplishments of Miedlar who painstakingly follow the directions of Sister senior drafters Thomas Bourseleth, Joseph Rosalik and Robert Therese Ann. Modern Demands for Progress, Precision, Mathematicians believe in following directions. The caption on the black- board ends with REST and Frances Marshall complies explicitly. Freshmen Leo Capozzoli and Henry Corridore rebelliously continue their work in General Math. Inquiring minds are challenged in the modern approach used in our mathematics classes. Use of the most advanced and re- cent texts, models of intersecting planes, lines and solids, personal handbooks and slide rules, the traveling math library, cur- rent periodicals, participation in the sci- ence fair and the best teaching aid of all, chalk and the blackboard, combine to pre- pare our students for college courses and to supply them with the necessary mathe- matical information for everyday exist- ence. Fundamentals of modern algebra take on a new interest when Sister Hilda, with the aid of the newly acquired view-graph, demonstrates the im- portance of set concepts. “That’s it,” exults Sharon Greski as she completes her trigonometry' problem. It is evident that Michael Phillips and Pamela Nowaccyk approve. Performance Challenge Mathematics Classes. 29 Christmas cookies, geometrically constructed prove tasty as well as educational agree Valerie Sulkowski, Ann Marie Swier and Gerald Kubik. This geometry project suggested by Sister Alice Anne met with enthusiastic approval. Homemakers, Artisans Individualize Spring Fashion Show Highlights Work of Clothing Department The girls in the clothing department are homemakers in every sense of the word. Learning the fundamentals of sewing and special stitches, planning suitable acces- sories, participating in the spring style show and Montgomery Ward contest, and making Christmas gifts constitute one phase of their work. The second half of the course includes lively discussions of Christian family living. The topics include personal obligations, the relationship of self to family, money and time man- agement. table service, child care, nutrition and per- sonality development. Seamstresses Patricia Zambisky (seated) and Pat O’Reilly, assisted by clothing instructor Sister Jane Partice, busily com- plete their Christinas project. The dresses hanging in the back- ground were wrapped and sent to St. Dominic School, Detroit. Far-away places with strange-sounding names” lured passengers Kris Kukla, Nancy Spinclle and Peggy Kilmartin aboard the S. S. Fashion-arama. A trip to world-famous ports of call was the theme of the annua] fashion show presented by the clothing class. 30 Sing along and Stitch! Freshmen Kathleen Uchwat, Carol Dixon and Linda Spagnoletti Creations Through Originality, Expression Annual Display Provides Talent Outlet for Young Artists An appreciation of modern art, sculpture, lettering, painting, and drawing attract many students to this department. Although original creations are high- lighted at the annual art show, frequent displays of their talent are in evidence at school activities and dances. The willingness to share their artistic skills makes the ARTISANS a busy, progressive and popular group. Modern Art is truly appreciated by instructor Sister Carol Anne who rescues one of the third-grade “creations” from hanging wrong-side-up. Beverly De Frain and Marian Kosch assist Sister in setting up an art exhibit for the Arch- diocesan Art Teachers’ Association. The exhibit consisted mainly of grade school work. appreciate the advantages of the new Slant- O-Matics. Future Michelangelos Karen Rojek, Rosaria Merlino, Diane Romanski and Carol Blasko guard their masterpieces for public display at the art exhibit. Annually, the young artists combine their finished works with those of the clothing class and present them at the spring art and fashion show. 31 Artists of Sound Create Diverse Concerts, Festivals, The high school combined chorus joins in presenting the Christmas pageant, “The Shep- herds and the Magi.” Especially featured this year were selections from Handel's Messiah. Included in the regular curriculum this year is the union of the Schola with the boys of the choral class. The main function of the Schola, that of preparing the musical portions of the sacred lit- urgy, remains unchanged. Twice annually the mixed chorus performs for the pub- lic in the Christmas play and in the spring concert. The band, an integral part of these programs, also partic- ipates at school assemblies, football games and festivals held at the University of Michigan and Tiger Stadium. Sister Mary Seraphim takes time from her routine of piano, they practice stage-placement for the annual concert featuring voice and band lessons to pose with the Girls’ Chorus. Here the combined chorus and band. 32 Moods Through Sacred Liturgy, School Assemblies St. Alphonsus is proud of its Schola Cantorum whose priv- portions of the Sacred Liturgy.

With its versatile repertoire the hand performs for football games and assemblies. Participa- tion in the University of Michigan Band Festival was one of the highlights of the marching season. Gym Reverljerates With Sounds of Strenuous Drills Students Enjoy First Year of Program As our leaders of tomorrow perform in the gymnasium and on the play- ground, they are a challenge to Presi- dent Kennedy’s remark that America is fast becoming a nation of spectators.

The results of the class’ work were pro- mising as the first year of the program drew to a successful close. ATHLETi S “Go, Team, go!” does not always send our teams to victory but the challenge does move them to practice good sportsmanship. This spirit, characteristic of our Arrows, makes us proud of them. From September to June we follow our sportsmen to the gridiron, basketball court and “cinder oval.” Climaxing the sports’ activities are the intramurals when spectators become participants and cheerleaders raise the school spirit to an all high record. The sports’ program at St. Alphonsus is in step with com- peting teams as it holds its own, win or lose. Fiery Dick Kelly gets set to level Cherokee end John Whinnie as he pulls in a pass.

With the summer months drawing to a close, once again locker doors are opened in anticipation of the coming grid season. Double practices, in- cluding hours of sweaty calisthenics and necessary chalk talks, paid off as the Arrows’ record was the best in four years. A strong line bolstered by Jim Carney opened holes for churning backs Nick Con- flitti, Mike Fras and Len Matuszak. Quarterback Dick Kelly, engineering many key plays, produced his most effective season as the Arrows finished with five victories and two defeats. Unfortunately the undetected presence of an ineligible player forced the team to surrender two of their victories. Traditionally, the “bench warmers,” although a source of ridicule, are men of action. While supplying the need of morale, they anxiously await their tum on the gridiron. 39 Jungle Jim Carney (64) anticipates a wild game as he anxiously eyes the starting assignments held by Coach Kline. Arrow blockbuster Mike Fras outdistances the nearest St. Gregory player Don Orr (23). Sided by this strategic yardage, the Arrows squeaked out a 13-7 win. Backed by a dynamic homecoming crowd, the Arrows’ spirited cheerleaders plead for another touchdown. The Vivacious Cheerleaders Spark Passive Crowds Extensive Game Schedule Challenges Endurance Vitality, zest, spontaneity characterize our varsity and reserve cheerleaders. Challenged by hazardous weather and disheartening de- feat, these school-spirited young ladies cheer all the louder; they were without a doubt the strongest supporters of our team. gridmen cooperate by being the only team to score on the mighty Monarchs in league competition. The transition from football to basketball is no problem for the varsity cheerleaders. Row 1: Kay Lloyd, Marie Missel. Row 2: Janet Telfer, Molly Babel, Dorothy Schewe. Row 3: Diane Kendziora. Leading “a good substantial yell” are reserve cheerleaders: Joan Miller, Carolyn Stimach, Susan Najmowicz, Karen Tellcrico, Janet Hoffman, Mary Ann Yanushonis. Tight Games Dominate Cagers’ Season Driving guard Nick Conflitti makes the most of the opportunity as he hits for two over the outstretched arm of St. Theresa defender Tom Shea. 42 With the change of seasons the St. Alphonsus sports scene shifts into high gear. Basketball replaces pigskin and tactics change as the stage is set for the world’s roughest non-contact sport. The Arrows, handicapped by lack of height and depth, found themselves playing defensive ball. As the season progressed, each game saw an improved team take to the court. The consistent rebounding of Leo Gilhool, the uncanny accuracy of marksmen Dick Kelly and Len Matuszak and the ballhawking of guards Nick Conflitti and Tom Kelly, added a note of encouragement to the Arrows’ cause. Although our cage men won only two league games, post season victories over Lourdes, St. Patrick, Our Lady of Sorrows and St. Andrew indicated that the decision to shift play from defense to offense had been sound.

Freshmen Stun Seniors, Capture Trophy It is an astounding fact that intramural basketball draws al- most as much support as the varsity. Reasons? Comedy, action, school spirit and occasionally some well-played basketball. Screaming crowds and class rivalry increased as this year’s intramural season drew to a close. The championship game pitted the undefeated seniors of Room 210 against the freshmen of Room 102. A seesaw battle witnessed both quintets playing hard but in the final moments the underclassmen pulled away to win 42-36. The victory went to the first freshman team to win a championship intramural trophy at St. Alphonsus. An exhausted Garry Faja gratefully accepts the champions’ trophy on behalf of freshman Room 102. Nick Conflitti, president of the Varsity Club and coach of the losing team, makes the presentation. Hustle and determination were the key factors as the freshmen upset the seniors in the annual championship intramural game. Here under- classman Larry Fitch goes in for an easy layup as seniors Mike Phillips and Joe Rosalik stand petrified. Conceding height but not hustle to senior center Joe Rosalik are freshman stars Rick Stachura and Garry Faja as they struggle for a rebound.

Freezing temperatures fail to keep Arrow sports- men indoors. With better team spirit and increased school support, a much improved squad skated away with five victories in eleven games for their best seasonal record to date. A well balanced offense, sparked by Tom Cusick and Jim Potoczak, scored a total of thirty goals. A tightened defense spurred on by Ken Marciniak and Nick Altesleben aided goalie Gerry Borovsky in protecting the Arrow mesh. (Fe won, 6-1!

Arrow Thinclads Train Early, In April 1961, Coaches Smith and Kline said, “This year the St. Alphonsus track team will win the championship.” Could the Arrows, after three years, possibly walk off with the tro- phy? One meet answered this question when the powerful thinclads easily downed their first opponent. With outstand- ing performances by sprinters Nick Conflitti, Len Matuszak. Leo Gilhool and Jim Potoczak and strenuous efforts by dis- tancemen Mike Fras, Bob Spen- cer, Dick Kelly and Ed Birrell, the pattern was set as the Ar- rows bolted to the champion- ship.

A flick of the wrist can save the game. Pat McElligatt, wary of a possible interception by Vis- itation forwards, rushed in to catch the oncoming ball thrown by teammate Darlene Zdun. ACTII , T'7£'.S Progress is evident in the personality of the St. Alphonsus student as he participates in ex- tracurricular activities. These activities are suf- ficiently varied to provide an outlet for every temperament. From Monday morning to Friday evening, club meetings maintain general inter- est in the organization itself, further school spirit and contribute to better faculty-student re- lationship. Projects, dances, displays and school assemblies attribute their success to these meet- ings. Students are well aware that these organ- izations are a complementary factor to knowl- edge not taught in a textbook. Varsity Athletes Motivate Sportsmanship to High Degree Sportsmen Spoilsor Athletic Activities The athletic organizations of the Varsity Club and the Girls’ Athlet- ic Association fulfill' their purpose in the promotion of good sports- manship. By sponsoring intra- murals, staging pep meetings, di- recting skits and cheerleading, the members have raised the school spirit and attendance at games. Typically happy-go-lucky are these members of the Girls Athletic Association. Row 1: Ginny Stackable, Molly Babel, Janet Telfer, Mary Ann Yanushonis.

The tape recorder proves useful to these juniors as an aid to better delivery. Local Councils Increase Cooperation, Understanding The Human Relations Club has attempted to bring about a better understanding of the cur- rent problems existing between the negro and the white man. Debates, interracial confer- ences, writing contests and per- sonal contacts are the means used to achieve their aim. The importance of safe driv- ing has been emphasized through the concentrated efforts of the Junior Traffic Safety Council. Surveys, “safety” book- marks, student pledges, essays, contests and a scrapbook serve as a continuous reminder to the would-be careless. Incorporated in the varied projects of the Junior Traffic Safety Council is the careful planning of organization functions—bookmarks, posters, debates and mock trials. Ray- mond Groske, Jeanne Soroka, president Dennis Cebulski and Pat Owen remind the stu- dents that “Safety carries its own reward.” 53 Student Council Centralizes Organizations Strotig Leaders Set Pace Congratulating Charles Mowat (center), newly-elected student council president, are outgoing officers Michael Dodge, treasurer, Darlene Zdun, second vice-president and Mary Ann Yanushonis, first vice-president. Elections for officers of organizations and class officers are held in May and become immediately effective. The motto of the Student Council. “Ask not what your school can do for you but what you can do for your school,” is well exemplified in the fac- ulty-student relationship that exists at St. Alphonsus. At the regular weekly meetings hall guards are appointed and methods of backing projects and office directives are discussed. This organiza- tion, noted for its steady progress, easily takes a top place for efficiency and good order. Anticipating the pledge of loyalty to the constitution of the Student Council are officers: Elizabeth Cannizzaro, first vice-president; Carolyn Stimach, second vice-president; Kristine Kukla, secretary and Robert Hathon, treasurer. The representatives on the stage are James De Grazia, junior class president; Richard Schlaff, sophomore class president; Donald Ternes, prefect of Boys’ Sodality and Mary Ann Yanushonis, prefect of Girls’ Sodality. The probationary members of the National Honor Society are: Evelyn Rodak, Rosemary Lewis, Janet Hunt. Eileen Rodak, Sylvia Zabinski, David Sysko, Virginia Stackable, Gail Hop- kinson. “To bear forward the searching light of truth; to foster an ambition for the enduring values of life.” These words are meaningful to pro- bationary National Honor Society members (above) who received the stole at the induction ceremony. The academic hood was bestowed on members (right): Richard Kelly, Cheryl Ozimkowski, Mary Ann Yan- ushonis, Joseph Shevock, Donald Ternes, William Keller, Peggy Hoff- man, Darlene Zdun. Honor Society Stresses Ambition, Competition A National Honor Student is one who not only fulfills the aim of the organization, Scholarship, but also excels in Character, Leadership and •Service. The privileges of the members at St. Alphonsus in- clude the leading in formal processions, the officers’ pre- siding at the quarterly hon- ors’ convocations and the as- sisting at the semi-annual in- duction ceremonies. Preparing for the quarterly honors convocation are officers Richard Kelly, secretary- treasurer, Charles Burch, president and Darlene Zdun, . vice-president. The emblem on which they are working is the keystone of the National Honor Society. 55 Socialists Practice Ideals of Christian Leadership Because the Sodality of Our Lady is a challenge to its members, some of the busiest, most popular boys and girls take time out of their overfull schedules to personally consecrate themselves to Jesus through Mary. As a training school of Christian leadership, it motivates the sodalists to enrich their lives through sacrifice, prayer and meditation. At- tendance at the Summer School of Cath- olic Action, weekly meetings and proj- ects are climaxed at the annual May Crowning when the sodalists reconse- crate their lives to Mary. Sacrifice, prayer, meditation, devotion to Mary are all woven into the daily life of a sodalist. Prefects Mary Ann Yanushonis and Donald Terncs simultaneously crown the Blessed Mother and place an orchid at her feet during the annual May Crowning ceremony. The Summer School of Catholic Action held at the Conrad sight-seeing and social activities that will always be remem- Hilton Hotel in Chicago last August offered six days of classes, bered by these sodalists. 56 Busy hands arc a blessing for keeping God’s house a fitting dwelling. Sacristans Judy Moore and Joanne McKenzie spend many hours in the sacristy clean- ing, polishing and arranging the vessels for use at Mass. ‘7 am Tamerlane, Emperor of A-A-L-L-L Asia. Are YOU an emperor?” bellows Elmer Teed to a somewhat puzzled Castro, portrayed by Bob Spencer. This production sponsored by the Mission Club not only offered entertainment but served as an opportunity to view a dictatorship in operation. Voluntary Service Merits Inner Satisfaction Projects, discussions, entertain- ment, financial support of native clergy, prayer and sacrifice constitute the contagious enthusiasm of the Catholic Students’ Mission Crusade that permeated the entire school from September to June. Another group outstanding for its spirit of sacrifice and generosity is that of the Junior Sacristans. Their hours of volunteer service spent in the preparation of vestments, altars and sacristy for liturgical functions are unnumbered. Their reward? The privilege of working close to Christ in the tabernacle. Supermarkets take second place to St. Alphonsus’ first floor hall the week before Thanksgiving. Mission officers John Shi- kora, Cindy Centkowski, Leo Gilhool, Kathy O'Reilly and Bill Crowley enthusias- tically pack a “big drive” for the residents at Bertha Fisher Home. 57 Future Teachers, Nurses Study Latest Trends Future teachers Maribeth Maguire, Gail Hopkinson and Marilyn Mack explain the importance of color to third graders Barbara Carlin, Stanley Logan, Maureen Flanigan and Rene Merlo. “Lick it anyway!” Thousands of trading stamps provided a “sticky” proposition for future nurses Sue Schmidt (seated) and Peggy Ortman. Students throughout Metropolitan Detroit helped finance a bus for the Plymouth State Home and Training School. The Future Teachers and Future Nurses are aware of the trials and rewards of these pro- fessions which are based on generosity and sacrifice. The Future Teachers, affiliated with Mercy College and the University of Detroit, discuss the current trends in teaching, correct papers and tutor small groups of children. The Future Nurses, members of the Tri-Coun- ty League of Nursing, study the various nurs- ing schools’ programs, visit their “open houses,” and assist at school with TB and hearing tests. Guidance club officers Nancy Gray, Darlene Piotrowski, Rosemary Lewis and Cheryl Ozimkowski assist Sister Thomas Cecile in keeping the files up-to-the-minute in vocational literature. For a one year old project, the service of the guidance library is second to none. Timely Facilities Supplement Daily Routine The Guidance Club, the most recent of the organizations, has already paid worthwhile divi- dends. Files filled with current vocational literature, scholar- ship forms, and college applica- tions are at the ready disposal of every interested student. The members of the Audio- Visual Club are at the service of all departments and school as- semblies. Efficient operation of film projectors, the tape re- corder and record player, mi- crophones and the “living Let- ters” program make this or- ganization a very busy one at St. Alphonsus. The complexities of the lighting board intrigues audio-visual club members Joe Hall, Ann Hunt and president Tom Gillissie. This organization plays a vital role in parish and school activities. 59 Desire for Improved Annual Spurs Staff Student Press Conventions at the University of Detroit are mentally stimulating as well as socially relaxing. Pictured: Row 1: Co-editor Evelyn Rodak, Gail Hopkinson, Joanne Harbrecht, Mary Conley, Mary Alice McKenna, Donna Miedlar, Dianne Romanski, Kay Lloyd, Alice Vogt. Row 2: Co-editor Bill Keller, Larry’ Gilsdorf, Joseph Shevock, Dennis Cebulski, Robert Hathon, Robert I.ala. Sports editors Larry Gilsdorf and Dick Kelly seem pleased that their cropped picture fits the layout. Although they pleaded in vain for extra pages for their section, the co-editors remained unyield- ing in their “battle” for proportion. Smaller Group Produces Larger Book The work entailed in producing a good yearbook is never fully realized by the student body. Months before -the actual layout of the book begins, meetings are held, pictures planned and taken, and deadlines set. Then follow hours, weeks and evenings of compil- ing pictures, cutlines, copyblocks, headlines and last minute details until our staff wonders how it can possibly make the final deadline. All activity, however, is climaxed in the actual arrival of a hard-earned book in May when the staff agrees that while the burden was truly great, the results are greater. “So your outline doesn’t sparkle—well, make it,” gloats Joanne Harbrecht (right) as she triumphantly returns with an OK’d paper. Typists Kay Lloyd and Mary Conley firmly insist that the copywriters pro- duce their goods—and “in time please, to meet the deadline.” These patient workers, accurate and obliv- ious of time, were invaluable in the production of our annual. Their aim was to add to the framed first-class awards on the wall. Co-editors Evelyn Kodak and Bill Keller enjoy a mid-morning break during the yearbook journalism course offered last sum- mer at the University of Detroit. Anxious to “get going,” these staff leaders agree that “The ’62 Arrow must he a top annual.” Bob Hathon, Cindy Clarke and Gail Hopkinson are quick to remind Joanne that they offered a word here and there to help the cause. Hour after hour found Dennis Cebulski. Joe Shevock and Bob Lala at their favorite table laying out pages and fitting copy. If candy bars help toward better layout, the ’62 Arrow should be a winner. 61 UNDER L' ASSMEN Moving forward to that all-important senior . year are the St. Alphonsus underclassmen. The .IHj j adjustment to new schedules, teachers and com- panions comprise the greater part of each fresh- man’s life. Sophomores, familiar with the scho- lastic routine, begin to successfully participate in the extracurricular activities offered them. The juniors’ experience is that of becoming up- perclassmen. Theirs is the accomplishment of sitting “behind a wheel,” of participating in the more formal social activities and, the climax of the year—measurements for rings. Memories of three happy years have thus become a vital part of our future seniors’ lives. Freshmen Adjust Quickly, Boost School Spirit Expansion in the building program at St. Alphonsus matches Babel, and Jim Keller are amazed as they mentally picture the steady progress of the students. Freshman officers Carry additional classrooms and a parish library.

Whether it he college, business, professional or the reli- gious life, each senior anticipates a challenging life as he decides his future career. He is re- luctant to break the ties of friendship formed during'his grade school and high school years, yet with the finger of steady progress beckoning forward, he moves—fearful and hesitant per- haps, but well-equipped—into the challenging world of today. I RICHARD ALFONSI “One step at a time, but always forward,” the senior class motto, is well exem- plified in the class officers. These young adults, as well as their classmates are well aware of the critical times of which they are a part and are prepared to meet the world challenge. In step as they move forward are social chairmen Seniors View New Horizons, NICHOLAS ALTESLEBEN CAROLYN BATTLE GERARD BOROVSKY David Sysko and Janet Hunt, secretary-treasurer Lawrence Gilsdorf, social chair- man Pamela Nowaczyk and president Michael Fras.

The angel, Lawrence Gilsdorf, proclaims the coming of Emmanuel. Fifteen senior girls made a seven-day closed retreat at the Convent of Mary Reparatrix under the direction of the Reverend William J.
