Saint Alphonsus High School - Arrow Yearbook (Dearborn, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1970 volume:

Last look back at 60s as new decade beckons I960! The start of a new decade. Picture today’s Seniors as pint-sized little devils; the girls are selecting First Communion dresses, the boys are trying out for Little League. Their last days in school are spent penciling dipthongs, and picking flowers for the May altar. 1962! Big sisters hog the bathroom tying their hair in pony tails; they are sent home because their skirts are too short: four inches below the knee. The little Arrow studies his Baltimore Catechism to prepare for the big day: Confirmation. The Arrow is ten—too big to be a baby, too small to be a teen. He stands in a never-never world: which is better—to go forward or back? 1964! Protected by his gang, little Arrow taunts the Bcatle-loving girls from the boys” side of the playground, careful not to cross the invisible line. They are afraid to cross another line, the line that separates the child from the adult. Will the Arrow cross it? Will he? 1965! The first tentative steps: his science project on tornadoes wins a red ribbon. He takes a lead with the big guys” in Oklahoma. 1966! A giant leap across the line, high school! The mind cries: Adjust! Adjust! The heart answers: No! Grade school was safer. There were no demands. Here: demands everywhere, everyday. On his mind: porto, portas, portat. On his body: fifty laps around the gym. On his time: the Student Council will meet at 7:15 tomorrow morning. Enough! 1969! That old line is long gone. The Arrow runs for president, and wins. He gives of his self; he gives time. 1970! The start of a new decade!

The unsteady freshman carefully takes each step on the road through high school. The soph- omore is a little steadier and the free-swinging juniors gal- lop through high school. The sentimental senior hesitates at times because he realizes he is closing the door on one phase of growth and is stepping into a new and freer, yet more complex and demanding world that is not as secure as his high school days. In September, sun-lovers and beach drifters come back to start a unique school year, the first in a new decade. As the newness of books, schedules and teachers wear off, life at St. APs takes up a daily routine. But constant interrup- tions occur. A brand new Student Council becomes “the” organizer of numerous school activities. Seniors begin to feel the weight of responsibility a little more. Instead of being carefree Juniors, they arc the school leaders, em- barking on yet another phase of growing up. 'Moonlight and Roses’ becomes the primary target of meticulous plan- ning and work. The frosh take another leap as they join the decorating crews for Homecoming for the first time. The sophs and juniors are also busy building prize-winning floats. Combining ingenuity and handi-work, creativity reigns supreme. The boys athletically strengthen themselves in football training three times a day. October brings a wet and wild Homecoming weekend. Led by victorious juniors in the float contest, each Arrow dies a little bit as Salesian becomes the football victor. Accepting defeat with pride, the Arrows look toward Ring Day. The high hopes and expectations of the seniors soar as they land to enjoy the Sophomore-Senior Breakfast. Around November 10, grades and averages become the central interest as report cards travel home from school on Parents’ Night. Acceptance and a necessary striving characterize the second quarter. November also brings a step into the land of ‘Aquarius’. Throbbing to the beat of their second dance the frosh join the enthusiastic upper- classmen. Thanksgiving vacation sees seniors tackling term papers, juniors recuperating from hectic planning and sophs and frosh collecting paper for the upcoming paper drive. The ’70 school year is just three months old and al- ready the Arrows have felt the demands of a stimulating world. Combining victory and defeat, work and play, each Arrow surges ahead to the bright, yet sometimes fearful future of the remaining school year. 4 Arrows find joy, work while in 'thick' of year The Arrow breathes a sigh of relief. Ah! First quarter is over. He begins to clear his head of all the frenzy of the first days: football games, Homecoming, adjusting to new teachers, new classes, and a new year. He takes stock of his surroundings: quarter marks are in, the Junior dance was a success, and Thanksgiving vacation has come and gone. He starts to relax for a moment, but it is a very tiny moment. New adventures are waiting for him — waiting to snatch him up and lead him on a merry chase through high school. Basketball. There’s a thief. It robs the Arrow of time— morning practice, night practice, Tuesday games, Friday games. It robs him of energy — hours of laps and pop and chips dinners. It robs girls, too — hours of cheering, clapping, and watching. But this Thief gives also. It gives a sense of joy, a sense of belonging, a sense of responsibility to team and fellow Arrows. And then comes, not a thief, but the ultimate giver: Christmas! Christmas gives happiness in decorating class- rooms, joy in giving presents, and peace in caroling one winter’s night. At midnight Mass the Arrow finds a hopeful, silent joy: that next Christmas will find him safe and happy, not bogged down and trapped in college studies or not trapped by enemy crossfire in Viet Nam. Ah! Christmas! Tinkling bells, impromptu tobaggon trips, A Visit to My Farm.” The Arrow returns to school rested. Again he relaxes for a moment, a very tiny moment. January. Two weeks of school, then EXAMS: tests in seven subjects crammed into two days — but the Arrow, at the same time rushes to prepare a feastday luncheon for the principal and to preview a movie of this year’s musical. It is a cold January. The Arrow ices over as he runs to the AB, and wears coat and mittens in World History. But the cold soon begins to grow on hint. He becomes “numb” to the cold. But other things happen. He starts to warm up to — Mardi Gras! He starts to warm up to — March of Dimes. He starts to warm up to — “Half A Six- pence.” Auditions. Nights of, “No, Dennis: it’s one, two, three, four: IF I LOVED YOU.” Afternoons spent breathing deeply, crossing T’s. Finally the suspense is over. Lots of happy faces, some sad. The Arrow pulls through and marches on. He marches on to City playoffs. All-city swim teams, engineering awards, scholarships, forensic contests. He marches on to a Lent of denial, but also a Lent of Giving: of self, of time, of money, of heart. And so the Arrow continues his way through his high school year; it is just one of his twelve years in school but it seems like an individual lifetime. A tiny mirror which reflects all the hopes and downfalls in a life. But this year is almost over. He prepares now for the final part. ■v W reflect on final days An old English proverb is proved to be wrong this year. March comes in, not roaring like a lion, or bleating like a lamb, but sloshing with rain. The Arrow faces cold, gray drizzle, cold, gray days. But his heart is not gray — it finds yellows and oranges by singing in a Talent Show, in dancing practice after school, in baseball practice at 6:30 in the morning. The happiest moment comes later in the month: Easter Vacation! The somber Good Friday serves as a comparison to the sunny holiday. The blithe vacation days, followed by — April. Sound of falling rain, scent of budding flow- ers. April. ‘Half A Sixpence” a huge success. April. Opening day at Tiger Stadium. Opening day at Arrow Stadium. April. The Sophomore dance. April. A trip with fifty Seniors to see Washington framed by cherry blossoms. April. Ah! April. The end is near. The Arrow has no time to relax. He has no time for “the pause that refreshes. He is coming into the finish now, and has no desire to slow down. The pages of the Senior Countdown are disappearing quickly — eager eyes on them only help them to disappear more quickly. The Arrow thinks: The faster I move, the faster the days will move. This last quarter is always a happy one. The Arrow hands in the last term paper for the year, takes the second semester finals, attends the Prom, and helps with the Parish Festival. The windows open up — birds are singing, and so are the students. The grass is green now, but the Frosh no longer are — they arc now established Arrows. Faces, like the sun, are brighter. Hearts, like the breeze, are lighter. And June — no, that comes later. For now. in May, it is most appropriate for the Arrow to take a last look back on this miniature life- time, to examine and evaluate all the phases, happy and sad. before the doors in June close behind him. So let us. with our Arrow, take a last look at . . . 9 10 Teachers must guide growth of young minds The mind of a six year old is like a well of untapped resources, bursting with promise, but, as yet producing nothing. When the child enters the first grade he takes the first step toward achieving an education, and those re- sponsible for this learning process are the teachers. The teachers are the first to tap the mind of the child — to feed it with second grade phonics, to nourish it with Bolivian geography. It is the teacher who must awaken a quest for knowledge and a love of learning in the student. This love of learning is a part of a continuous process. The student, with the help of the teacher, adds bits of knowledge and increases the depth of his understanding every day. The realm of the high schooler demands even more dedication on the part of the teacher. Besides being givers of assignments and discussion leaders, they must also be counselors, auditioners, and scenery painters. They must ever keep it in mind that they can influence the attitudes and quality of the future leaders of the world. FACULTY AND ACADEMICS (Above) Sister Agnes Charles gives the students second hour directives. (Above right) The assistant principal, Sister Rose Margaret, and the principal. Sister Agnes Charles, discuss school policies. (Right) The day’s correspondence is sorted by Mrs. McGuire and Vicki Wozny. (Far right) Assistant principal, Sr. Rose Margaret, examines the master schedule for the 1970 school year. 12 Principal is key to great St. AFs What makes a good administration a great, administration? The answer is simple. All you need is a principal who is down-to-earth and sincerely interested in the entire student body. St. Alphonsus has found their answer embodied in Sister Agnes Charles. Her boundless energy moves her through her work day which lasts far longer than many think. Many times she pops up at various club meetings and takes an interested part in class projects. Her aim is to bring the office of principal down from the clouds and into the daily routine of the students. Sister Agnes Charles also has a great staff of helpers which includes assistant principal. Sister Rose Margaret, school secretary, Mrs. McGuire and Sister Clare Charles. A great administration needs a great princi- pal and together they make a great school. Working with her students. Sister Agnes Charles helps to make St. Al’s the school that it is. 13 (Above) Dave Laczynski, Rachael Loconte and Jim Promo review a movie. (Above right) Jim Wojnarski recites in class.

There your opinion will be rapidly changed. Why do we say miracles? It’s the miracle of a Freshman bewildered by a mountain of paperback books. He learns to appreciate po- etry as he proudly recites his first free verse poem. The Sophomore miracle struggles to understand Walt Whitman and The Octopus. Junior and Senior wonder workers discover the basics of research papers, novels and plays. When a person looks through the eyes of Emily Dickenson and Wm. Faulkner he is learning the miracle of living through English. English Faculty: Mr. Fleming, Sr. Celeste, Mrs. Zub, Sr. Clare, Mr. O’Donnell, Sr. Robert Christine. 15 Mystery of languages lures Arrow linguists The Latin language is over twenty centuries old. French and Spanish are over fifteen centuries old. How then, can anything be done to make these languages new and vibrant? The Foreign Language faculty of St. Alphonsus has found the answer to this puzzling question. In 208, Mr. Headley speaks French to astounded Fresh- men who learn to swim or sink. Junior students drill them- selves in the elements of grammar to prepare for the first French III class at St. Alphonsus next year. Old and new Spanish students received a surprise on the first day of class when they found as their teacher Cuban-born Mrs. Posada. Learning in 203 is a two-way street: Mrs. Posada helps the students with their Spanish and they help her with her English. A new dimension was added to the Latin Department: the first advanced class in three years. Although small in number — five Juniors and three Seniors — Sister Teresa hopes it will lead the way for future advanced groups. Using new methods, new teachers and new classes, the language teachers keep alive the interest of the students for learning languages — old and new. The study of the languages is special to the Foreign Language faculty of Sister Teresa, Mrs. Posada and Mr. Headley. 16 (Left) Chris Bobowski and Terry Cotter examine Roman artistry. (Bottom left) Tape-recorders and tapes make French more meaningful to Lynn Schaefer. (Bottom right) Mrs. Posada helps Doug Wisniewski, Frances Hunt and Judy Marietti listen to Spanish tapes. 17 Christ kept alive by involvement in contemporary life Religion is not dead, especially at St. Aiphon- sus. How is it kept alive? Some say that new books, teachers and approaches play a big part in keeping the fire burning. When Juniors walk into Mr. O’Donnell’s class they respond to the new ideas as they absorb the spark being felt all over the school. The Underclassmen are introduced to a contemporary class of discussion and practical application. Meanwhile. Father McMurtrie keeps the Seniors busy with projects like marriage inter- views and with test questions such as “What is the leading college football team in the nation?” Action and involvement are key words of the time and the students are determined not to be left out. Whether they are lighting candles, shar- ing intentions or expressing opinions, St. Al’s students are definitely involved in everything that happens in the world today.

Is it okay if I only use six fingers instead of ten?” If these answers seem to elude you, then a visit to the Business Depart- ment of St. Alphonsus is a must. Under the careful scrutiny of Sister Clare Charles and Mr. Pachla, stu- dents are transformed into efficient managers and speedy typists. If you pass by room 201 you can hear the con- sistent clacky-clack of the typewriters as tomorrow’s secretaries ask, “How many inches wide is a margin?” Next door in room 202 the intricacies of Bookkeeping and Business Law are technically explained as stu- dents’ heads spin with figures and decimal points. Armed with their knowledge the students of the Business Department are ready to invade the world.

Mathematicians meet challenge of riddles “One plus one equals two, or at least it used to.” This statement best describes the challenge met by the Math scholars this year. New methods of solving problems are popping up as soon as the old methods are perfected. Under able guidance, they attack the riddles with enthusiasm. They delve into solution sets, fundamental identities and congruent triangles. The feeling that a major discovery is just around the corner invades the air. Business Math also adds an extra dimension as future executives zip through the addition and multiplication of banking. Math teaches not only basics, but it stimulates the students to achieve new heights of learning. 22 (Above) Jim Stansik and Andrea Pazur dis- cuss the latest methods in problem solving (Left) The wonders of geometric solids are pondered by Richard Stec and Diane St. Amant.

The faithful Captain, Mr. Fleezanis, takes count as his crew of the Chemistry Department files onto the ship. Briefly the Captain gives the orders of the day. Immediately the crew goes to the laboratory to prepare for the launch. In another part of the ship, first officer, Mr. Konieczny, with the world’s future physicists, computes the amount of fuel needed. With such formulas as S = Vz at2 they are able to calculate distance, speed and time. These results are immediately rushed to Central Control. Medical officer, Sister Anne Regina, is aboard with her team of biologists. With their slides and dyes they accidentally stumble on cures while trying to focus their microscopes. Finally settled, all the scientists prepare for count down. TEN . . . NINE . . . EIGHT . . . SEVEN . . . BLAST OFF!

Armed with their books and first-rate knowledge, the faculty members gave their commands- The first objective of the Freshmen was to conquer World History. They accom- plished their objective by delving into the lives of the ancient Greeks and making their way through the Middle Ages and World Wars. Success was achieved as they approached the present era of history. The battle was turned over to the Juniors who succeeded by overtaking U. S. History. They defeated King George III and took an active part in the Civil War. The climax appeared as the Seniors over- took U. S. Government and captured For- eign Relations and Economics. They pro- gressed from the election of a president and finally wound up the battle by over- throwing the stock market. Through the unity and high morale of the students and teachers, every facet of Social Studies is a new and exciting piece of knowledge to explore, conquer and develop.

For those who desire to emulate the great artists or “do their own thing there is the Art Studio headed by Sr. Judith who guides amateur artists in becoming masters. in the Activities Building Mr. Tallieu leads the band in Christmas medleys and musical scores. Singing to the tunes of the band or Sr. Robert Christine’s piano are the swinging sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses of the Soph- omore chorus and Advanced chorus. The combined talents of these three fields help to produce the musical each spring. 29 Avid homemakers How can Home Economics and Physical Education work together? Strangely enough, they do. Juniors and Seniors of the Home and Family Living class are instructed by Sr. Patricia in nutrition, meal planning and cooking. The seamstresses of Clothing I and II learn the intricacies of clothing construc- tion, whether their project is a simple skirt or a complex lined suit. During gym classes, Miss Duncan and Mr. Guza drill their gym- nasts in exercise, trampoline-jumping and running. Girls can work off pounds gained from eating the delicious food they had pre- pared while the boys are treated with samples of the girls’ efforts. After a gym class of trying to become physically fit, the girls change from drab gym suits to attractive out- fits they made themselves. Gym and Home Ec can surely work together.

Joy, sorrow, pain, fatigue and honor are only a few of the emotions that an athlete experiences, whether he is a foot- ball player, cross country runner, basketball player or a swimmer. The joy of beating the number two team in the state, the sadness of losing Homecoming, the pain of broken bones and pulled muscles, the fatigue after a long, hard practice and the honors awarded at the end of a tough but outstanding season arc all a part of the unique world of an athlete. The true athlete, in spite of ail the hardships and encouraged by his accomplishments, pushes on, working for improvement and success in whatever his field may be. This school year starts a new decade, the seventies. With his skill and determination, an athlete will continue to reach new heights of physical and mental growth. The future holds no bounds on what he may achieve. (Seated) Co-captains T. Ciatti, V. Cavasin. (Kneeling) M. Za- Cipolla. R. Ster, R. Leskie. D. Cardelli, M. Podracky, R. Barlage, wacki, T.

(Above) Head Coach Williams talks over game plan with Tom Kline. Arrows achieve best season in five years, compile two shutouts Football? What’s football? Oh that’s when some guys get together on a thing called a field. They throw an oblong sphere around that they call a football. Well this year things are different. “The guys” don’t just go out there and throw a football around. “The guys” are men and now a team and work together in an organized manner. They move the ball down the field and score points and play football. This is a new, rejuvenated team. This team never gives up; they keep fighting, because this team has pride. They showed their pride in the grueling triple practices in August — their first small step. Gathering speed one step at a time, the Arrows hit a setback in the first game but their pride did not. It was still grow- ing. Although not overpowering their opponents, the Arrows took the field the second time and brought home a victory. The next week followed with another triumph. The hardest games were yet to come. Our team dropped four games in a row. But in the final game they annihilated their foes with a shutout. This team has broken the evil spell of defeat seen in past years at St. Alphonsus. 35 Team improves overall record through spirit (Lower right) Goal-line stand by Saint Alphonsus line stops Salesian touchdown drive.

A four- game losing streak followed, but the Arrows bounced back by beating favored St. David. Beating Sacred Heart again, the Arrows were beaten by last-place St. Hedwig. To make up for this disappointing loss, the Arrows beat St. Paul, up till then the number two team in the state, 45-44. The Ar- rows finished off the league season with another losing streak of four games. But hopes soared as the Arrows, in preparation for the district playoffs, beat St. Martin, another highly ranked team, and Dearborn Sacred Heart, our cross- town rivals to whom we have not lost in four years, and lost only to U-D High. The playoffs began with a decisive victory over Novi, but hopes were dashed as the ’69-’70 season ended with a 69-63 loss to Our Lady of Sorrows. Although the basketball season was not an overwhelm- ing one, the unexpected and exciting victories were a real tribute to “Guza-bail” and the men who play it.

The Junior Varsity, having played together before must now reach the high peak of efficiency. They must become a piece of well-oiled machinery meshing together to turn out a product called baskets like clock-work. This blazing and raging fire has caused the great- ness and the work-ability of the Freshmen. They were told to go out and win basketball games, work together, and play Guzaball. Without any previous experience. Coach Brusseau gave them on the job training and whipped them into a first rate team. This enthusiasm caused the JV’s to overcome some of their stronger opponents. It also boosted the Freshmen team to their league championship. Frcslmien Basketball Team: (Kneeling) P. Machowicz, J. Wittersheim, 11 Bohowski. XI. Burke. P. Crittenden, G. Trybus. T.

You fix yourself upon the starting block at the official’s command, your heart beating wildly. You are ready to put your everything into the next event. You are prepared to bring home a vic- tory no matter what the cost. Then suddenly you’re off — and swimming. During the four years of the team’s existence it has managed to bring itself up from a 0-7 record to eligibility for this year’s league crown. Although their initial loss to Bishop Gallagher has forced them to settle for second best this year, it has not dampened their winning atti- tude. Due to the able coaching of Mr. Headley, the team has brought itself out of the ranks of the mediocre. It has also produced numerable all-city swimmers who hope to attain all-state standing this year. 44 (Upper left) Breaststrokeer Gary Pazur gives his all for a first-place finish.

A sleigh ride? Or not much at all? How about track? Train? No. Jim Ryun? Olympics? Now you’re getting the idea. That’s it. Both cross country and track involve running. But more than just running, for cross country demands the endurance of grueling distances and track requires high and varying speeds on a flat surface. Endurance, the ability to continue unchanged, means to a cross country man running at a paced clip for the first mile and then sprinting the second to finish ahead of everybody else. They have hills to run over and woods to run through, log cabins to pass and swimming pools to round. A track man has to reach his top speed in a short length of time. He therefore trains in a different manner. He sprints his quarter mile, or jumps his hurdles with all possible speed, rests, and does it again always trying to better his time.

As the warm weather replaces the harshness of winter, out come the mitts, bats, balls and the Arrow baseball teams. Starting early in the year, sleepy Arrows re- port to the gym for a vigorous 6:30 a.m. work- out that involves pitching, catching and the finer points of fielding and batting. These activities continue until the season opens in early May. As the Arrows journey to nearby fields to meet their opponents, a small, but loyal group of fans cheer them on to victory. Buoyed up by a good season last year, the ’70 Arrows are striving for an even better season. The feminine counterpart to baseball is the Arrowettes softball team. With their unique way of fielding and pitching, they bring a fresh out- look to a predominantly male sport. Led by eager and enthusiastic members, the Arrowettes bring home victories. With able coaching and fine team spirit, the Arrows are unique opponents. With encourage- ment from the school, baseball is their own special field and pride is on their side. 49 Girls’ Varsity Basketball Team: (Kneeling) Mary Scoda, Mary Joe Siciliano, Nancy Evon, Debbie Bo- chenek, Sheila Bagozzi (Second row) Gail Dodde, Elaine Parris, Dawn James, Sue Misiak, Phyllis Bone, Donna Brennan, (Third row) Coach Paula Duncan, Nancy Drabicki, Jackie Olinn.

New rules, coaches; new 1970 Arrowettes On Saturday mornings cold enough to keep most Arrows indoors, girls hurrying toward St. Al’s, sneakers and sweatshirts flung over their arms, was a common sight. If you asked these girls what was up, you’d receive a simple answer — “Practice!” Saturday mornings grew into one or two hours after school, tired arms and sprained ankles — but also became the 1970 Arrowcttc Basketball team. Unaccustomed to new rules and regulations, the Arrowettes studied play diagrams along with Chemistry notes and planned a pep rally, making it ‘first’ for the girls. Finally, those Saturday mornings produced a team that made the J.V. a fabulous ‘first’ in their division, with the Varsity putting up a good show right behind them. New blue and gold hats were ordered and worn proudly. The new coaches. Miss Duncan and Miss Kress, encour- aged their teams and stayed long hours after school, often becoming good friends as well as good coaches. To any casual observer at a girl’s game, it might seem that the girls had little to show for their efforts — a bystander might go so far as to say that the Arrowettes really didn't have too much to be proud of. But ask the girls — with new hats and socks, pep rallies, dedicated coaches and teammates — it would seem the 1970 Ar- rowettes deserved the rewards they received — and more! In fact, it would seem the 1970 girls had much to be proud about! Ask them. (Left) Taking advantage of a free shot to boost the Arrowettes' score is Mary Scoda.

TlflMlM 54 Unique life form receives classification: Student life There’s a very unique form of existence that scien- tists haven’t quite classified yet. The life form is common to four species—frosh, sophs, juniors and seniors. It begins early in the year, often about August, with dripping car washes and class meetings. September delivers the first dance with promises of more to come. October claims Homecoming in all its glittering beauty. Then comes the solemnity of Ring Day. The female section of the species do their own thing in powder puff. And everyone joins together Christmas carolling and ice skating. Springtime ushers in the festival spirit of Mardi Gras, following closely by nervous auditions for “Half A Sixpence”. Finally, it’s prom time, with graduation right around the corner. It’s a unique life that has seen the promise of a new decade unfold before its eyes, waiting to be fulfilled. Well, scientists couldn’t classify this life form, but the 1970 Arrow could: Student Life!

(Far right) The charm of Sue Drabicki and the dignity of co-captain Vic Cavasin grace the dance floor. (Extreme right) A radiant Mary Rashid is crowned Queen of the Arrows by Father McMurtrie. “Moonlight and roses bring wonderful mem’ries of you.” Remember when you crowded around our new queen Mary at the Senior dance and clapped till your hands were red? Do you remember how she sobbed and how we all screamed, “Yay Mary!”? “My heart reposes in beautiful thoughts so true. After the initial joy of electing a queen and court came the hard work: hours spent painting tickets, covering fountains, ironing curtains and stringing lights. Last min- ute rushing, picking up the tuxedo, getting the flowers, fixing the hair, and finally, opening the door. “Fall light discloses love’s olden dreams sparkling anew. At the gym, the curtain was raised and revealed a rose bordered, twinkling moon, and a throne for a queen. After ten special girls took their places of honor, and after Sue, and Janice, and Mary Jo and Suzanne assembled on the stage. Co-captain Tom Ciatti escorted Mary Rashid to her throne where she received a crown and a kiss. Then our Queen Mary presented her roses and a prayer for victory to another Queen Mary. The rest of the evening was danced away. Do you remember? “Moonlight and roses bring mem’ries of . . .” Homecoming 1969. 56 � O Despite rainy weather Arrows charge onward to glorious homecoming When the last day of Homecoming weekend began, hope rose in the hearts of all Arrows: hope that we would have a victory, and hope that the pouring rain would stop. The parade started at one o’clock with beautiful floats and beauti- ful girls riding down Schaefer Avenue, with the girls hiding from the drenching rain under gaily colored umbrellas. En- thusiastic Arrows, arriving at muddy Fordson field, took up the chant: “Rain, rain, go away, the Arrows want to play!” But the game began and ended in the rain. Arrow gridmen battled and splattered in the mud. Even though their hard-pushing drives were stopped by Salesian, the Arrows never gave up. And the Arrow fans never gave up. Led by soaked cheerleaders, the record crowd encouraged their team till the last second of play. Although the two big wishes were unfulfilled, Homecom- ing ’69 will always bring wonderful mem’ries to all Arrows. (Left) The radiance of Janice Geisinger shines through the rain.

Birthstone and wedding rings all mark various occasions. But the first important ring a person receives is his senior class ring. Getting ready for Ring Day involves donning mortar boards for the first time. Led by class president. Bill Kronk, the seniors marched into church for the blessing of their rings and the reception of their gowns. Sister Agnes Charles invested the class officers. Each senior donned his gown as his name was called. The blessing of the rings officially established them as the Senior Class of 1970. The traditional ring day breakfast was served by the sophomores. At the breakfast sophomore class president, Jim Rashid, gave a short history of the Class of ’70. With horns blaring, rings flashing and caps on their heads, the seniors set out to enjoy their free day. Girls tackle tradition; mix mud with make-up ‘‘Hey, coach, what’s a quarterback?” “The guy — er, girl — that throws the ball to you. Then, you can score a touchdown — if you run past the goal post.” “Touchdown? Goal post? Golly, I’m all mixed up!” “Don’t feci bad — so are all the other girls!” This topic of conversation hummed in the cafeteria a week before an event that could be called one of the more unusual traditions around St. Al’s — powder puff! Picture ten excited girls in a huddle, plotting their strategy. Look closer, and you’ll spot bright - cheeked Arrows applauding the Senior cheerleaders” and the teams. Suddenly, football men, friends, faculty and parents be- come coaches. Where else could tired players calmly comb their hair and check their mirrors, despite the rain, snow and mud. It’s an event bubbling over with the determination and spirit that drove the Junior-Senior team to a 16-0 victory. It’s the thrill of the first time for Freshmen; It’s the skill of the “second time around” for the Sophomores. No, it’s not crazy — it’s Powder puff. 62 (Far left) A new breed of cheerleaders enthu- siastically supports the upperclassmen team.

This Tuesday, February 10, St. Alphonsus will host its second Fat Tuesday. The festival will . . . Wait a minute! Fat Tuesday? What’s a Fat Tues- day? Sacre bleu, mon petit enfant. C’est Mardi Gras! O.K. But, what is a Mardi Gras? Well, at St. Al’s it’s a new tradition celebrated on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. It’s a “fat” day — full of fun, food, and friends. It’s a time for kings and queens, slave sales, and frantic money count- ing. It’s a time for pounding wood and wrapping milk bottle caps. Students forget Math and typing assign- ments and begin to dream of big time gambling and winning. People save their lunch money and Senior dues to vote for their favorite monarchs and to win that stuffed dog for their favorite girl. In the evening they pay 75c to slide over a waxed floor and to wit- ness the crowning of the King and Queen of the ball. Mardi Gras? Balloons and streamers! Mardi Gras? Hot dogs, bagels, coke! Mardi Gras? King Rich Bar- lage and Queen Linda Kneffel! This is Mardi Gras, mon petit enfant! Merci, monsieur. Say. arc you coming next week? Mais non, I’ll be down in New Orleans! 65 (Bottom right) The anticipation of fan at the dance shines in the faces of Colleen Chauvin and Mary Cameron. (Bottom left) Marg Abram.

It would seem that the action is over — but on certain Friday nights the action has just begun. It’s a popular idea to call a dance a ‘happening’ be- tween 8:00 and 11:00. That’s not the case. The action for a dance really begins a month before the actual date, with meetings after school and chairmen buying paint and paper. For more action, take a look in the gym on a certain Friday about 4:30, but don’t step on the decora- tions strewn about on the floor, ready to be taped to the wall. Arrows arc everywhere, hanging yellow suns or fix- ing the cloakroom. Finally at 8:00 the doors burst open and the hall is a colorful tangle of smiling chaperones and laughing stu- dents, willing to divulge in ‘A Place in the Sun,’ or the mystical world of ‘Aquarius.’ They also salute the vic- torious Arrows after a game at a sock hop. Your cares and concerns vanish for three wonderful hours that are Arrow dances, 1970. 67 (Below) Sid Pornick (Dennis Salterelli) hurries Artie (Bill Hanses) in preparation for a busy day at Sha!ford's Emporium and Fancy Goods Bazaar.

This word has a special meaning to the students of St. Al’s. Every year the school puts forth its efforts to re- create a memorable Broadway musical. The first step is to decide which musical will be produced. While waiting in su- spense, the students try their luck at guessing the name of the operetta. After careful thought. Half A Sixpence was chosen as the 1970 musical. The next step was the choosing of the characters. Before auditions, choral students began to diligently practice, hoping to gain such coveted parts as Artie Kipps, Anne Pornick and Helen Walsingham. After the characters were chosen, the next step was the creation of scenery and costumes. Starting with ingenuity and work, the scenery crew began to build dock scenes, pub scenes and an elaborate emporium. The costume committee got out their pins and needles and began to sew dresses reminiscent of the “Gay Nineties.” The remainder of the school was busy selling tickets collecting patrons for the program and acting as ushers during the performance nights. The operetta is a once-a-year time for students to become involved and work together to produce a success. With the help and cooperation of the entire school. Half A Sixpence will be remembered as a successful musical. 69 70 Organizations prepare future athletes; leaders School does not only develop a person scholastically but also socially. St. Al’s is academically equipped and also has a wide scope of organizations in which a student can develop. There is a club for everyone’s field of in- terest. All a person has to do is to listen to announcements at 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to discover the who, what, where, when, why and how of any school organization. If you are athletically inclined you can join the Varsity Club or the Girls Athletic Association. If sports are not your bag, you can always join the Drama Club or the Future Teachers Club. You can nurture your soul and spirit by joining the Christian Life Community. CCD or Mission Club. Also if you are a linguist at heart, you can join the Spanish, French or Latin Clubs to feel right at home. Today’s organizations help provide insight into the world of tomorrow. ORGANIZATIONS To serve all Arrows is goal of SC and NHS A student government that is of the students, by the stu- dents and for the students is the ideal situation that exists at St. Alphonsus High School. The students are able to control the Student Council as they see fit, with people like Sister Agnes Charles and moderator Mr. SchlafT helping out by guid- ing the Executive Board, which in turn guides the representa- tive assembly. Hardly a day goes by that the Executive Board members, working under a new constitution, are not in 212 planning for a skating party or talent show, or drawing up dance regulations. From 212 these ideas go to Sister Agnes Charles for approval, and then to the Thursday morning Coun- cil meeting, to gain acceptance from the members. The student body has not only the Council to guide them, but also the National Honor Society. In this Society can be found the scholars and workers of the school. Under the guid- ance of Sister Rose Margaret, the members present cultural performances for the student body and serve as examples of academic ability. These two organizations, rather than existing to serve themselves, exist solely to serve the rest of the school. (Bottom far left) Student Council President, Kevin O’Reilly, pre- sides over the school assembly at the Student Council Induction.

Those who say this obviously have never been at St. Alphon- sus. Here Religion is much more than a forty-five minute class; it is a feeling that is manifested in the students’ extra- curricular activities. This feeling of service can be found at Christian Life Community meetings as members discuss Easter baskets for the poor, or a trip to Santa with inner-city children. The spirit of Christ comes to Community members at candlelit Masses for peace, and at a fund raising bagel sale. If the CLC serves the needs of our home mission, then the Christian Students Mission Club serves the overseas missions. Every year this club sponsors a drive to help our Christian and non-Christian brothers throughout the world. Arrows give of their money, but also of their time. Every Saturday when most students are sleeping or shopping the CCDers are patiently teaching a retarded child the wonder of God’s love. With great selflessness these teachers help the children to make valentines for the Great Lover. When Christ said that we must all be teachers, He meant it. The students of St. Alphonsus have indeed heeded His call. To serve themselves, to serve those overseas, and to serve the handicapped arc the aims of St. Al students, who are ably represented by these three organizations. 74 (Above left) Raising money by sponsoring a juke box booth at the Mardi Gras is the job of CSMC member Mary Hengesbach.

We are a community of scholars, singers, artists and athletes. Wc have organiza- tions to represent these groups, and the athletes have two — the Varsity Club and the GAA. Wearing the proud symbol of their status, the Var- sity letter sweater, these two groups serve the school each in their own way. The Varsity Club makes sure that the Arrows’ fans are at all the games by providing chartered busses for transportation. They also make sure that en- thusiastic fans will not go hungry by providing refresh- ijients: candy, pop and popcorn. The girls boost the spirit of the students by selling football pins and basketball pennants. And their little blue and gold buttons guarantee that “Pride” is always on the Arrows’ side. And of course, their own participa- tion in sports shows their “pride” in St. Al’s. The sports-minded here in Arrow-town are never down; always dedicated and always serving. 76 (Bottom far left) Bill Hanses, Varsity dub member, provides thirst-quenching pop at Arrow basketball games.

With a cheery “Salve, amice” the Junior Classical League welcomes a visitor to a world of togas and skits at their Saturnalia party, a Roman Christmas. Out- side the Forum (103) a different sound is heard: “II est ne, le petit enfant” — the French Club carolers! To administer to the needs of any suffering ill effects from the singing of our French friends are the Future nurses following close behind, saying soothing words to all in hear- ing range. The last “language” is: “Clean-up your closets; pick up that paper!” The sounds of the faithful School Beautiful Club!

Members Therese Byrnes and Lois Engel proudly stand next to their symbol of achievement, the 1969 plaque for First Place in the Dearborn Clean-Up Contest. 79 Students’ voice heard in Arrows’ Grapevine “Newspaper” is a word immediately associated with deadlines and headlines, picture cropping and frantic meet- ings after school. It’s a word that signifies a challenge. A newspaper must report, review, praise and criticize — all in one issue. But few people realize the fun that goes into producing a newspaper, or the determination it requires, or the pride a staff has in the finished product. One certain newspaper possesses the pride of its second year in circula- tion; the fun of people working together; the determination to make their work the best. Guided by experienced editors, the enthusiastic staff members of the 1970 Grapevine meet these challenges and deliver the latest edition tired, but pleased. Their reward is the sight of an Arrow browsing through the pages of the Grapevine during lunch or homeroom, and the realization that they have issued a publication worthy of being called “The voice of Arrow students!” 80 (Extreme left) Editor Stanley Logan files the latest issue of the Grapevine.

The people stated their occupations: yearbookers. This was a new one for the census taker. “Could you elaborate on that answer please?” “A yearbooker is a nut,” said one of the eight, “or a dedicated worker, depending on how you look at it, who gives up two weeks of summer vacation to attend a special journalism class at U of D. A yearbooker is a person who arrives at school a week early to prepare a new workroom. A yearbooker is a person who pops into classrooms unannounced to snap a picture and endures people who forget picture appointments. By this time the poor census taker went pale. “A yearbooker is all that?” “Sure,” answered the loyal eight. “Well, thanks a lot for your time, and don’t work too hard,” said Uncle Sam’s man. 84 Underclassmen lives exhibit steady growth The thriving spirit behind the energetic Seniors can be summed up in one word: Underclassmen. Their spirit is seen in the stacks of paper at the annual paper drive, and in the decorations on the gym walls for a dance. Their spirit is heard at pep rallies, basketball games and swim meets. They rally together in pride. The Underclassmen encompass Freshmen, Sopho- mores and Juniors. The Frosh are experiencing their first joys of success in academic, social and athletic life. The Sophomores are a little more experienced and can tackle geometry, a pep rally and a Ring Day Breakfast. The fast- paced Juniors are preparing for Senior year and leader- ship of the school. Selecting class rings, passing chemistry and sponsoring the Junior-Senior outing are training grounds for leadership. The 1969-70 school year is starting a new decade. With their spirit, pride and energy, the Underclassmen are soaring to new heights of growth and accomplishment. UNDERCLASSMEN (First row) Arlene Wawrzynowicz, Gerald Wotski, Janice Slizewski.

The word for the Freshman class this year is big — according to St. Al’s standards. Exceeding the normal size class of about 120 by 50 new students, the Freshman class is 170 strong. This seems to be their biggest asset. They started off strong by sending a dozen representa- tives to the Student Council to act as their spokesmen. They showed their spirit by attending the Senior Dance. They weathered the Senior ribbing and gave no fuss when they were made to leave early. Next they took the initiative by sponsoring their own candy apple sale. They reaped successful profits by having the support of each and every freshman. As the Christmas season rolled along, the Class of ’73 won the coveted trophy for the best decorated home- room during the annual Christmas Decoration Contest. They were again strong as they turned out for the Student Council Christmas caroling. As the new year approached, 170 Freshmen began to plan for second semester. Class elections, Mardi Gras and the Freshman dance were yet to come. June would bring the end of school and the 170 Frosh would become 170 Sophs, stronger and more united than ever.

With a whole year of high school behind them the sophomores are aiming to make their class a unique one. Under the leadership of a new president and new class officers, the sophs began their year. At the first pep rally the JV cheerleaders made their debut and led the class in a cheer, “Arrows Beat The Thorns,” sparking enthusiasm and team support. At Homecoming they proudly displayed their rain- drenched float. They held their heads high as their athletes helped to bring home vital Arrow victories. On Ring Day they efficiently presented the Sophomore- Senior breakfast. With the beginning of the basketball season they sponsored their pep rally. With a unique repertoire of songs, dances and witty remarks, the sophs evoked spirit from the entire student body. The key word for the sophomores is action. With the success of this year behind them, they are confi- dently looking towards their junior year. (Above) Salesian receives a fair warning from the Sophomore Homecoming float.

Man is now able to conquer a vast new world with his new found key. For the Class of ’71 it too is the dawning of a new year. This year the juniors blasted off to a great start with the election of new officers. They are also proud of the juniors that achieved a seat on the Executive Board of the Student Council. The age of damsels and knights was the theme of Homecoming ’69. Working to- gether the juniors produced a knight greater than Sir Lancelot or Sir Gwain. Their knight paraded before the judges on his trusty charger, armor glistening and banner waving. He performed his greatest feat — bringing the prize trophy home to the court of the Class of ’71. Success was riding with the juniors as their dance “The Age of Aquarius” rocketed off with only paper, paint and a shipful of ideas. The gym was transformed into a new and un- explored world of the supernatural. The hidden future unfolded through zodiac signs and fortune cards. As Christmas neared the juniors restored their energy. Second semester brought Mardi Gras, Operetta and class rings. As June neared they turned their eyes toward another year to come, senior year. It would be a new year of exploration, growth and expansion. The Class of ’71 was ably prepared. 99 (First row) Roxanne Lopetrone, Marc Kalis, Karen Smith, Tom Parsons, Pam Wat- kins, Sandy Nowak, Dave Rais, Chris Mihelcich.

But soon their thoughts turn toward June 7 and they find it hard to imagine not being a part of St. Al’s. They think of how they’ve changed through the years, from “out of it” Freshmen to leaders of the school, learning to cooperate with each other, forming close and lasting friendships. The reality of their “Seniorship” is brought home when the Student Council president an- nounces in the gym that “the Seniors may leave first” and they realize that for the first time in four years, he means them. Now that they have discovered the secret of unity, they arc ready to continue the development of their minds. They are ready to expand as individuals with the goal of attaining the status of mature adults. SENIORS William Henry Kronk President Garrett James Pazur Vice-President Seniors tuck away memories; as individuals, move forward “Where did my childhood go? When did it slip, safe and free, away from me? When did my childhood end?” We one hundred fourteen Seniors have asked ourselves these questions many times in the past year. We woke up one day no longer dressed in beanies with rosaries on our belt, but clothed in cap and gown. We no longer put our fingers in paste and glue, but put a special ring on our fingers. When did the sound of radios in Sr. Kieran’s room, the check sheets of Sr. Marest, and the jumping rope contests pack their bags and walk out of our lives and into our memories? When did we realize that we couldn’t quite picture Sr. Edith Marie anymore, and things like Mr. Smith’s plays, science projects, and fifth grade tests on Bo- livia were nothing but faint blurs tucked far back in our minds? But we cannot answer these questions. We can only accept the fact that we are on the brink of adulthood. And, as we stand on this threshold, more questions arise: “How will we spend the rest of our lives? Will we be willing to merely survive, or will we live fife fully with all the love we can give? Will we be sheep, following the ideas of others, or will we be true to ourselves always?” In September we answered these questions by choosing a special song which symbolizes the philosophy of our class. We told ourselves that we will never “settle down or settle for less,” that we will be ourselves always, and that we know that all of us cannot be great stars, but even small stars, shining with what light they have, are important in the night sky. And, as we stand on this threshold, we know that we cannot return to our childhood, safe and free; we can only go forward to adulthood, ready to accept the challenges of that new part of life. And so, acknowledging our ability to cope with the challenges that await us. let us take our child- hood, wrap it up in love and place it deep down in our memories, and with the strength that comes from self knowledge and faith in our individual worth. Let us move forward.

Jane 91 134 70 Arrow produced by efforts of many Throughout the year we, Denise and Therese, have looked forward to writing this page. This is it! The last deadline! But as we sit down now to write this, we are somewhat sad. Yearbook is over. We think back to last year when we promised to make the '70 Arrow better than the '69 Arrow. We like to think that we have done this, with the assistance we have received from many parties. First, we say a sincere word of gratitude to last year’s co-editors, Donna and Karen, who helped us “get the hang” of Yearbooking Junior year. Next, we say “hi and thanks” to Mr. Ken Kelley of the U-D Journalism School, the brave soul who endured the “St. Alphonsus delegation” and instructed us in the mechanics of journalism for two hot July weeks. Mr. Russ Whitehead of Modern Yearbook deserves a Purple Heart for his patience with our boo-boo’s and excuses, like: “But, that 28 page deadline due last Tuesday was lost in the mail — honest!” Mr. Frank Ortman of Crainc Studios has merited the title: Our friend. Red proofs, and twenty minute croppings! On a more local level: Thanks to Mrs. Mellon, our advisor, for “going to bat for us” so many times, and for baking us all birthday cakes. Gratitude beyond words is due our faithful staff: Lois and Norma, queens of cropping and typing; Terry, our not “great,” but “so great” photographer; Wild Bill Hanses, sports editor; Mary Rashid, who helped to make the book a success, patronwise; Pat and Chris, dauntless indexers. The co-editors thank everyone of you most sincerely. 1970 Yearbook Staff Publishing Company: Max Machuta Modern Yearbook Michael Schmidt St. Clair Shores Business Staff: Photography Company: Lynda McGlone Craine's Studio Mary Rashid Dearborn Sports Editor: Advisor: Bill Hanses Mrs. Mellon General Staff: Co-Editors: Marg Abram Therese Byrnes Elaine Duchovic Denise Duchovic Lois Engel Pat Krawczyk Photography Staff: Amelia Matosh Dennis Bak Norma Mlynek Terry Cotter Mary Ellen Shoup 135 Wonders of 1970s await mature Arrows There it is. Over one hundred thirty pages of reflection. Reflection on an exciting year — a year of moontrips, war, and . . . school. In his own little world, St. Alphonsus, the Arrow has lived. Perhaps he has lived his first year here, perhaps his last. And now it is June. The Arrow is about to walk out of a door — it may open for him next September, or it may close forever. The first kind of Arrow faces a summer of re- laxation. He will “let himself go” at the beaches and cottages. He will soak up the sun, and, in August, will look forward to seeing those doors opening once more on a world of study, work, but carefreeness and “goofy-ness.” But the other Arrow can no longer be silly and carefree as he was in high school. He faces a summer of working and saving; a summer preparing to face that awe- some spectre, college, or that awesome responsi- bility, a full-time job. For him the training and fundamental growth is finished. He must use his knowledge and maturity to accept the new prob- lems he will face: not the construction of a Home- coming float, but the construction of a lunar or Martian module, the construction of a thesis paper for a master’s degree, or the “construction” of a sound marriage. For the Arrows who remain, there is time — years to mature, years to explore, years to enjoy the wonders of the I970’s. i
