arrow 71 St. Alphonsus High School 7265 Calhoun Avenue Dearborn, Michigan 48126 Vol. V Arrows begin their long forward journey I have chosen many roadways in my life. I pave a course for home when I am in need, for work, or for recreation when I am in need of en- joyment or relaxation. I have found paths that lead to fun or to trouble and the decisions to follow them have been mine. I have found roads worn down from overuse. These have been my choices. But there are roads I cannot choose. There are roads to follow through law and order. I must trudge along a path to maturity and gather up the pieces of myself along the way. I must struggle through independence; I must struggle through history and take my place as a member of the human race. And there is one road I must pave for myself, as no one else can, for this road is mine alone. This road is the rocky, long and winding pathway that is education.

What a pathway inflicted on the American youth. Not by choice does he drag himself out of the house at such an unlikely hour, books weigh- ing him down, his eyes half-open. He knows what is ahead of him for the day — the math home- work he did not finish, the novel he’s reading, the Religion collage he pasted together. He knows if there is a game tonight or a carwash tomorrow. He has a vague idea about this baffling road; he can guess where it is leading him. He can only guess. A student can’t really look into the future. Oh, he has insights of it. He can plan his subjects for college or business. He can select certain colleges he is interested in. The future, the destination of the road he travels, is unknown. This roadway, this pathway of high school, has only one primary requisite — learning. Yet somewhere between cultural and biology, be- tween outdoor pep rallies and retreats we have managed to gain something more. It’s that glow, that dependability of student council members. It’s that pride, that artistic skill, creativity and independence that builds Homecoming floats. Adults call it maturity; Religion terms it becom- ing; and a student caught in the middle of a world around him, realizes he is someone worth living, worth loving. 4 5 Diverse enthusiasms make lasting memories We’ve come so jar in one year. One year, and some days, one hour seemed unbearable. We've traveled so far from ,Shangri-La” and Election Day. We’ve covered quite a jaunt down this road, a road that was shiny and new back in Septem- ber and now is well-used, full of holes. We’ve come very far and perhaps the saddest thing of all is that we can not turn back now. Sometimes we would like to live it over again. Our first days as a Freshman forgetting which stairs lead to the cafeteria and which stairs lead to the chem and biology labs. We would like to see the Senior dance again; we would like to see the football games we cheered for and won. We would like to see autumn, golden and filled with quarter exams; we would like to see Christmas, ringing with the sound of carols, student council style. If only we could see 1970 become 1971 once again. There are some memories we can still see and hear. The triumph of our basketball teams, the thrill to be a member of the Homecoming Court or NHS. The lightness of Mardi Gras, the Solem- nity of Ring Day, the excitement of class elec- tions, are wonderful days, never to be forgotten. 8 Long, winding road turns life into living As we travel jarther down this road of our education, we discover that our life will not be always fdled with happiness. There will be mo- ments of bittersweetness too. Bitter memories are usually the memories we want to forget but we remember them the most clearly. We can still remember the sadness and the loneliness we knew, if only for fleeting minutes. Some days we want to forget these bitter memories. We find ourselves wishing to relive these times over again omitting the sadness and having only sunshine on our path. And what is life? It is learning to accept the sunshine with the rain, the smiles with the tears, the brilliance of victory and the block of defeat. We learn to accept the magic and miracles of life. We learn to transform life into living through our blunders and our successes. And this road we are now traveling down will continue to be long and winding and full of new adventures and experi- ences as we go along our way. 9 Eager students labor in wake of teachers A thought to ponder ... a teacher must be taught in order that he may teach. A weary path jaces the modern instructor, a path that will pursue knowledge endlessly, for the sake of knowl- edge itself. How can he make a geometric plane come to life on a board? How can she help create fashion through paper patterns? Students, struggling, determined. They labor in a teacher’s wake, sometimes blindly, sometimes questioning, caught up in a web of facts and figures. A teacher can’t teach too much ... a student can’t learn too much. There is always an undiscovered fact that must be ferreted . . . something new that must be found along the long and winding road of learning. FACULTY AND ACADEMICS (Above) Sister Agnes Charles makes one last check on Senior college applications. (Above right) Mrs. McGuire answers one of the many calls with a friendly greeting. (Far right) Sister Agnes Charles and Sister Rose Mar- garet discuss plans for the day. (Right) Sister Agnes Charles cheerfully tackles her day’s work. Principal Shares spirit of students What is the secret of a spirited and successful student body? What is the motivating force that guides the students down the road to success? At St. Alphonsus the answer is found in the energetic and untiring principal, Sister Agnes Charles. Her daily efforts revolve around molding school policies and creating an academic but en- joyable school atmosphere which, in turn, helps mold the character of the students. Through her sincere interest in the students, she takes time out from the many duties of a principal, to lend an ear to a puzzled student or to share in a student’s successes. Quietly but efficiently Sister Agnes Charles keeps the school operating smoothly. Helping Sister Agnes Charles in her efforts is a capable and willing staff of assistants which in- cludes the assistant principal, Sister Rose Mar- garet, and the school secretary, Mrs. McGuire. Together with Sister Agnes Charles, they make up a team dedicated to St. Alphonsus and also dedicated to the entire student body. V St. Als provides vocational, historical guidance You say you are seeking information on various professional fields? Well then step right in to the Guidance Center and let your future plans take shape as you leaf through the many oc- cupational pamphlets and booklets. The Seniors especially find one another popping in and out of the Guidance Center as they are all quite aware of the many vocational challenges the future holds for them. The Library is another place where the stu- dents’ minds can wander into the historical past, the remarkable present or the astonishing future. The Library, serving as a research center for many of the students, stores much educational data, which has been proven to be more than useful to enthusiastic students. Intellectually, students cannot go wrong if they take advantage of these prosperous facilities or- ganized by the school. (Above right) Sister Rose Clement casts a cheery smile during her busy schedule of counseling and library work. (Above) Miss Connor, the school librarian, is caught performing her usual functions of looking up research for some student. (Above far right) Counselor Mr. Koniecmy talks with Senior Dave Pierson about his future college plans. (Right) Maria Sauchuk, Linda Abdelnour, Nick Marshall and Bella Bala take advantage of the many library facilities. 14 The Guidance Counselors: (Seated) Mr. Price, Mr. Ko- nieczny, Father Maloney. (Standing) Sister Rose Clement, Sister Rose Margaret. 15 (Above right) Gail Merritt reads directions as Sharon Parko and Debbie Stankov work on the bulletin board. (Above) Mrs. Zub listens as Mary Brennan explains the ideas behind her collage. (Right) Father Maloney con- ducts his religion class starting with the assignment for the day. (Far right) Judy Zakrzewski explains her collage to the class as Dianne St. Amant waits for her turn. 16 Modernized topics, classes, discussions make Religion live Contemporary Religion paves the way to an adventure of genuine involvement along life’s winding road. It informs and prepares each stu- dent to accept and endure the triumphs and pit- falls he may encounter along this road. Visit Father Maloney and his Senior class and you will find them intensely discussing the ex- pectations and controversies of modern Christian marriages. Also Mr. O’Donnell, surrounded by a captivated audience, leads the Juniors toward awareness and understanding. All these facets will help them cope with everyday life. Mrs. Zub util- izes the eagerness of her Sophomore classes by encouraging them to relate, analyze and organize opinions on countless topics. Finally the Fresh- man, intrigued by his sudden confused self-dis- covery and progressing knowledge, joins in de- veloping and sharing new ideas, as everyone be- gins or continues the journey up the road to spiritual fulfillment and happiness. 17 Changing English meets classic work Centuries old and yet so alive and alert! Vic- torian poetry walking hand in hand with pessi- mistic twentieth century novels. And there are words read and re-read by many students and still appreciated. This is English, St. Alphonsus style. There are four types of English. Dismayed Freshmen quickly discover poetry, prose and non- fiction books exist. They have begun to appreciate the beauty of the written words. Sophomores try their hand at creative writing while the Juniors and Seniors discover literature through the great artists such as William Shakespeare and Ernest Hemingway. Also the Upperclassmen experience the rules and regulations for writing the formal term paper while still others find adventure in dramatic arts. Through new and advanced techniques incor- porated by the teachers, English 1971 is alive and modem at St. Alphonsus. 18 (Far left) Greg Zaplicki debates the issues with his fellow debaters, Morris White and Margaret Abram.

(Right) While studying a torero, Jim Berger takes time out to per- use a real bullfight poster. (Below) Peter Hetu, Gary Skalski and Debbie Ewing discover headphones play an important role in French class. 20 Languages grow through modern techniques If you cannot visit a country, learning its language is the next best thing to being there. The faraway lands of France and Spain become a reality in rooms 108 and 203 when Miss Gru- baugh greets her student daily with, “Buenas dias, estudiantes!” and Mr. Headley questions his stu- dents, “Comment allcz-vous?” Students concentrate on obtaining the skills of understanding, speaking, reading and writing the foreign language. Practical application of the lan- guage is also very effective in our modem lan- guage department today at St. Alphonsus. Freshmen try to comprehend the basic pro- nunciation. Sophomores know the pronunciation but reading fluently is a task to overcome. Juniors and Seniors strive not only to read fluently but to conquer the art of conversing fluently in their respective foreign language. Latin too, is alive in room 109. Reading, trans- lating and conjugating are not the only ways to learn Latin. Practical application is also stressed by Sister Anne Regina and is considered an in- tegral part of the Latin classes. Re-enactment of the glorious days of the Roman Empire is also of great importance to the students. Each day the future scholars whether they be French. Latin or Spanish students, grow in the knowledge of their language. The Language Department Faculty: Miss Grubauglt, Mr. Headley, Sr. Anne Regina. 21 Business students prepare for future Releasing an anxious sigh, the students eagerly count up their mistakes, calculate their typing speed and check to see if they have improved. With the encouraging assistance of Sister Clare Charles and Mr. Pachla, students progress stead- ily and rapidly, whether it be in Typing, Book- keeping, Shorthand or Business Law. Future lawyers of the Senior class probe into the technicalities of case problems. Another eager Senior wonders what it will be like to be a real bookkeeper while a puzzled Junior tries to trans- late the dictation she just wrote in Shorthand. Other Business students sit patiently behind their typewriters memorizing the letters on the key- board which seem impossible to learn. Eventually their efforts and dreams of being efficient in the business world of tomorrow will soon be a reality. 22 The Business Department Faculty: Sr. Clare Charles, Mr. Pachla. (Far left) Cindy Cieslinski carefully completes her typing assignment. (Left) thoughtfully Barb Sasena studies her text while Chris Mihelcich efficiently transcribes dicta- tion. (Below) Senior business law students, Gary Sroka, Ken Matykowski and Rich Theisen, discover the intricate composition of an ever changing occupation. fAbove right) Greg Baler and Mark Hoover construct geometric figures in math class. (Above) Gerry Wol- ski takes a break from his studies. (Far right) Dennis Stachecki and John Grazal also figure out dimensions for their geometric figures. (Right) Ken Matykowski with the aid of Sister Rose Margaret prepares a demonstration for his Pre-Calculus class. The Math Department Faculty: Mr. Williams, Mr. Price. Miss Vilionsky, Sr. Rose Margaret. 24 Problems solved; students triumphant Math is an endless realm of facts and figures which becomes quite confusing for any Arrow Math student. Eager, young minds are challenged, defeated and challenged again until the problem is finally conquered only to discover a new and more difficult problem that must also be con- quered. Freshmen solve the mystery of the missing variable in Algebra I while Sophomores, through Geometry, learn area formulas which aid the student in the construction of miniature build- ings. Juniors experience the intricacies involved to solve the advanced Algebra 11 problems while Seniors struggle through Pre-Calculus. Under the guidance of able teachers, the math- ematicians of St. Alphonsus discover, through many theories, feasible applications to their mod- ern and constantly changing world. Enthused students unlock new doors Relax! Close your eyes and case your body out of all tenseness. Separate your mind from your body and let it wander into that timeless world of oblivion. Relax! As you travel you come upon the Chemistry lab. Here you discover the composition of all matter under the direction of Mr. Fleezanis. It is through this specific class that theories become reality through actual experimentation. Deciding not to dawdle you drift onward to the Biology lab. Sister Maureen and Sister Anne Regina work endlessly and patiently with the Sophomores while Mr. Konieczny, with slide rule in hand, tries to untangle the confusing world of Physics for his interested students. Now it is time to unite the mind with the body once again. You slowly and reluctantly come back to your Psychology class with Mr. Fleezanis. 26 (Above left) Mary Berger carefully re- moves a sample of an element for her chemistry experiment. (Above) Ben Audio and Tom Luke discover a microscopic world. (Left) The subject of momentum is being studied by Ron Bush. Mary Jane Wilson and Gary Skalski. 27 Arrow students discover reality of history The Social Studies Department Faculty: Mr. Fleming. Mrs. Mellon. Mr. Schlaff. Unraveling the events of History becomes a tedious and frustrating job for any student, be he a Freshman, Junior or Senior. Napoleon, Marie Antoinette, Thomas Jefferson and Neil Armstrong are only meaningless names until somewhere along the road of History, the Arrow student meets these people and for the first time becomes aware of their role in History. People you never thought existed are discovered by your travels through American History or World History. Another form of History, American Government gives Senior students a comprehensive view of the political founding of our government. At St. Alphonsus, an Arrow History student not only learns about the people of the past and about their mistakes and triumphs but also learns to appreciate the History. Most important of all he discovers that he is becoming History. (Left) Jackie Olinn, Elaine Parris and Walter Szymusiak discuss current events. (Top) Tony Muraca identifies countries for John Mercurio. (Above) David Houle, Mary Anne Mercurio, Mary Brennan. Bill McCaffery and George Allen re-enact the development of the Con- stitution. 29 (Below far right) Jim Wojnarski contributes to the har- mony of the St. Alphonsus band. (Below center) At half-time Therese Stopchinski displays her talents. (Be- low) The Sophomore Choral presents its Christmas gift to the people. (Far right) Art student, Doreen Smith practices lettering during her Cultural Appreciation class. (Right) The Advanced Choral sings Christmas carols at the Christmas concert. The Fine Arts Department Faculty: Mr. Tallieu. the Band instructor, Sister Grace Adelaide, the Choral instructor. 30 Fine Arts flourish as talents emerge Fine Arts flourish at St. Alphonsus this year under the guidance of its directors, Sister Grace Adelaide, the Choral instructor, Mr. Tallieu, the Band instructor and Sister Maureen, the Art in- structor. The Band opened the year at the Homecoming game playing enthusiastically; flaunting bright red and blue uniforms in an exibilion march during halftime. The Band’s talents were also displayed at the Christmas concert and the school operetta. Another part of the Fine Arts is the Choral department. Fine talent is shown by the Choral members in various events throughout the year. Their biggest event is the school operetta. Finally the future artists are found striving for perfection in the Art classes at St. Alphonsus. It is the combination of these three depart- ments, developing students’ talents which make up the Fine Arts at St. Alphonsus. 31 32 Stitches and fitness fly in home ec, gym Gym moves in a round of physical activity in- cluding games of basketball and routines of cal- isthenics with the aid of Mrs. Holtyn and Mr. Guza. Sister Patricia indoctrinates her students into the world of fashion through her explicit and detailed instructions. The student seamstresses operate on a professional scale, learning special techniques, recognizing quality materials, and choosing fashions appropriate to the styles of the time and those most becoming to their figures. Sister Patricia also insructs Home and Family Living, teaching the students exactly what a well balanced diet consists of and the ideas of home life in order to make living more enjoyable. Gym, Home Economics and Home and Family Living provide the student with a healthy back- ground of personal living. The knowledge and ex- perience a student receives from these classes is immeasurable, concentrating on making students physically fit and more attractive human beings.

Our athletes are constantly competing to improve their records over last season. There are many great accomplishments by our team but also with these come a few setbacks. By participating in any sport our athletes learn the meaning of the words endurance and dis- cipline. To excel in anything they know that it takes hard work and continuous practice. Whether it be weight lifting after school or early morning practices these Arrows know that some way they will be rewarded for their efforts. The Arrows are constantly accepting any chal- lenge which their opponents might present. Their never ending spirit and determination make them all truly superior sportsmen. Victorious season goal of Arrow team For the first time in five years our Arrows brought home a .500 season. The 1970 St. Al- phonsus Varsity Football Squad started down their long road to success by beginning at the close of their 1969 football season. For 302 days, long before any earlybird was even up, our men were in the gym lifting weights and running through drills. During the hot and humid days of summer, our Arrows worked out at Hemlock Park when they probably would have prefered to be swimming in the park’s pool. After the hard and vigorous training, those who re- mained were inspired by Senior leadership and the season’s record proved that all their efforts were not in vain. Although suffering some heartbreaking, close defeats throughout the season, the Arrows’ spirit did not die. They continued to work hard and a combination of an explosive offense and a solid defense helped them to achieve their record. 1970 VARSITY FOOTBALL RECORD ARROWS 8 St. David OPPONENTS 18 8 Sacred Heart 14 44 St. Hedwig 0 6 St. Paul 12 0 St. Clement 21 56 St. Andrew 0 20 St. Ladislaus 8 34 St. Rita 12 36 Arrow Varsity Team: (Kneeling) Student manager M.

The Arrows proved hard work, confidence and ability, mixed with careful guidance, can bring about a winning season. At one time the Arrows were ranked seventh in Class C polls. Playing hard and against teams which were also playing hard brought game endings to an all-time roar. Two points shot in for the Arrows, two points for the opposing team, hustling back and forth with the Arrows usually coming out on top. Coach Mike Guza and his men made it all the way to the play-offs at the University of Detroit. Losing the game at the University of Detroit to St. Vincent in overtime brought an end to the participation of the Arrows in the play-offs. But not an end to the Arrow spirit which shined through to the District Tournaments where the Arrows played hard. This season’s Arrows will be the inspiration for the 1971-72 Arrow Varsity Basketball team. The Varsity Basketball Team: (First row) Student Manager T. Rashid, B. Jones, P. Crittenden, J. Rashid, D.

This year, the Junior Varsity proved to be a well working team with the aid of Coach Bodrie. Although mistakes were made, the team ended the season with a 9-4 record and took second place among the league teams. These players learned what team work means and also how to apply it. Building a road, stone by stone, was exemplified through the work of the Junior Varsity Team. The games were well attended considering the usual turn-out from previous years. The Freshmen this year proved what deter- mination and willingness to work can do for a team. Bringing home the trophy for first place showed the capability of our Freshmen. Enthusiasm from both teams added to the Arrow spirit which shone this season. The Freshmen Basketball Team: (First row) Dave Palac, Kevin Adams, Norbert Koss, James Voight, Mitchell Dziedzic.

He modified his line-up until he settled in a favorite medley of free-stylers, and back-strok- ers and fly men. With grueling practices, the team knocked seconds off what seemed to be unbeatable times. It all paid off in the end for the swimmers. Having only been defeated by first place Bishop Gallagher, the Arrows’ swim team clenched second place in the league. They also qualified a relay team in the “all city” meet and sent a number of their best swimmers to com- pete in the state meet held at the University of Michigan. The swimming team has found a place in the lives of the students at St. Alphonsus. The stu- dents now show their support for the team not only by attending meets but also by pep rallies. 46 (Above left) Back-stroker John Duirgot races on to take first place.

(Second row) ‘Practice makes perfect,’ motto of champions Detroit has the Tigers, Los Angeles has the Dodgers and St. Alphonsus has the Arrowettes. Despite rain or mud, the Arrowettes played hard and fair. They put all they had to make their softball team the best. As a result of their efforts, they have achieved recognition. They placed at the top enough times to rank remembrance. Meanwhile, the Cross Country team is also running hard. After school, they are working out to improve individual form and the team as a whole. By their efforts, the Cross Country team has come out as victors at the top. All their en- deavors to improve endurance and necessary skills have proven to be a big asset. “Practice makes perfect,” as both the girls’ softball team and the boys’ Cross Country team have found out. Practice also makes champs and both of these teams utilize this theory to spur them on, to keep them moving. The Girls’ Softball Team. (First row) Elaine Parris. Dorothy Camilleri. Nancy Walko.

Both teams had good seasons showing their pride. Winning became a commonplace thing with the Baseball team bringing home such victories as 10-0. 19-0 and 5-1. Every game brought out a few more spectators to watch our team make it to the league championship. Then it was to Tiger Stadium to play the biggest game in St. Al’s history. We were defeated by a score of 1-0 but just to play in a major league park was an in- credible feat and something to be proud of. Our Track men also deserve their due credit. Through quick running and endurance, they achieved a winning season and captured second place. They lost only two meets- Both our Track and Baseball men through their great efforts have provided the needed enthusiasm for our 1971 Arrow teams.

This year with their new Coaches, Mrs. Bajas and Miss Wafer, the girls won most of their games. The Varsity squad tied for first place with two other teams, St. Frances Cabrini and St. Thomas Aquinas. They played a great season winning seven out of ten games. These unsung heroines performed the skills of a first rate team. Captain Jackie Olinn and Co-captain Donna Brennan led the girls in team work. The Junior Varsity with Co-captains, Mary Brennan and Celeste Olinn, won seven out of ten games. They also reached first place in a tie with St. Frances Cabrini. The Junior Varsity team also reached their success by displaying a tremendous amount of team work. Finally, we cannot forget the people behind the scenes. These people helped organize the teams’ practices and games. They are the teams’ student managers, Martie Zawacki, Marcia Kus and Debbie Bochenek. These girls deserve recogni- tion because they are “all stars” in efficiency. Junior Varsity Basketball Team: (Kneeling) Theresa Koda, Mary Bren- nan, Celeste Olinn, Cathy Crittenden.

Presto! You have an Arrow cheer- leader. There is something about these girls. They are a never ending source of pride that plans pep rallies and skits and marches the entire squad out into summer sunshine to hold carwashes for new uniforms. There is something about cheering in the rain or in a happy Homecoming parade or when the Arrows are losing. There is a school song that is performed by a nervous Sophomore or a graduating Senior cheerleader. These indeed are Arrow cheerleaders. 55 ... m - V Students travel along pathway of activities A game brought off the shelf, dusty from sum- mer misuse — that’s student life. It’s a pathway of activity, and involves every student. What does the game lead to? Roll the dice and land on the Senior dance, watching the Freshmen skip a turn. Travel six steps to the Oriental mystery of Shangri-La, march proudly toward Ring Day, then relax and take part in mock elections. Students win more points — and turkeys — at the Junior dance, and usher in 1971 with skating parties. Mardi Gras brings mischievous competition; Sophomore and Freshmen dances provide a ‘break’ from routine. Who wins the game? Who loses? It’s hard to tell, for this game is a rocky one, though never dull. Students are usually too busy to notice! STUDENT LIFE (Below jar right) Colleen Masten, escorted by Dennis Bostow, slowly moves towards the throne.

Creative planning forms Shangri-La Homecoming is not just one weekend that be- gins with a dance and ends with a football game. The real thing starts about mid-September with the selection of a theme by the Student Council for the Homecoming dance. Also September brings a few heartbeats and tears as the Home- coming queen and her court are announced at the Senior dance. Preparations for the dance begin weeks before the Homecoming weekend. Nights are spent creat- ing fountains, rickshas and pagodas. Curtains are discovered and ironed. Senior boys struggle with the construction of the special float that will carry the queen and her court in the Homecoming parade. Classes are also working hard on their own floats hoping to win first place for having the best float. Finally organizations are busy dec- orating cars to make up the rest of the Home- coming parade. With preparations complete the students finally start preparing themselves for the coming week- end which begins with the dance, Shangri-La. 59 (Above far right) Queen Debbie Bochenek watches the Arrows make a touchdown.

Schaefer became a sparkling line of flashing instruments and smiles. Cheerleaders garbed in blue and gold followed proudly in step with the band. Next came ten girls caught by the admiration of the crowd as they, the 1970 Honor Guard passed by. An ele- gant red and white pagoda floated past seating five special young ladies. Finally the class floats and the organizations’ decorated cars concluded the parade. At Fordson field the parade halted in anticipa- tion of the forthcoming football game. The team determined and vibrant played hard and well. Halftime brought a show from the band, a hard earned trophy for the Sophomores because they had built the best float and roses and candy for Queen Debbie. Tired and happy the students of St. Alphonsus ended another Homecoming weekend but keeping with them its many memories. 61 Ring Day: Curtain rises on Senior year A Senior locker slams shut and there is quiet. Something is waiting, lingering over St. Alphon- sus. It could be anticipation or excitement. It could be a wave of maturity or curiosity over the box of blue mortarboards waiting in the school office. Sophomores are too busy to notice the awe because they are planning the Sophomore-Senior breakfast and making flowers from ribbon. Yet somewhere along the way a wistful Freshman pauses with a Senior to gaze at a Senior class ring. Ring day, the day when class rings are blessed, has finally arrived. Pity the poor Senior who gets his tassel soaked when he takes a drink of water. A tie is straight- ened, a hair style fixed more carefully than ever before. A partner is found and a line of blue graduation gowns and white collars slowly starts to move toward church. Suddenly an entire stu- dent body is looking and smiling at the Seniors as they walk down the aisle to their places. The Senior has taken his first step down the long road that will lead to the rest of his life.

Sister Rose Margaret, watches the procession. 63 Girls give their own twist to football After many weeks of practicing in the cold, vigorously exercising to limber up, missing dinner in order to memorize the plays, running, pushing, screaming, laughing, and crying, the time had finally come for the traditional Powder Puff game. Despite the freezing winter setting, the annual game was still played. The Juniors and Seniors were matched against the Sophomores and Fresh- men. On the first play of the game, the Upper- classmen scored the first touchdown and scored five more before the end of the game. The Under- classmen also crossed the goal line with their lone touchdown of the game. The final score was the Upperclassmen 38 and the Underclassmen 6. With excellent coaching and despite the cold, the wind, the injuries and the sadness of the losers, the game was a good one, uniting all those in- volved and also all those watching. (Below far left) Cathy Crittenden tries to score a touch- down for the underclassmen as Seniors, Donna Brennan and Linda Kneffel make an effort to block her.

Students construct own Mardi Gras When anyone hears the word Mardi Gras they instantly think of New Orleans and wish that they could attend the Mardi Gras that is held there every year. At St. Alphonsus the students have created their own Mardi Gras. Preparations for the Mardi Gras began many weeks prior to the opening of the festival. Booths must be planned and prizes made. Most important of all a Mardi Gras King and Queen must be found. Each class takes part in choosing the ideal King and Queen to rule over the festivities. This year Seniors, Fred Grenn and Paula Muraca, reigned over the Mardi Gras festivities. On the big day the festival opened with games, prizes and fun for all and closed with the corona- tion of the King and Queen at the Mardi Gras dance. Everyone enjoyed this event tremendously and are eagerly waiting for next year’s Mardi Gras. 66 (Above far left) Craig Hamilton runs the Sophomore Silver Dollar booth at the Mardi Gras.

But scholastic achieve- ment is not the only way an Arrow can belter himself. At St. Al's, various organizations play an integral role. Through the Student Council and the National Honor Society, students have an opportunity to demonstrate leadership and service. The Varsity Club and GAA provide spirit and enthusiasm for athletic activities while The Arbalast staff strives to communicate the ideas of St. Alphonsus stu- dents. Foreign Language Clubs and the Christian Life Community provide outlets for Arrow creativity. The road is not always straight but the experi- ences and opportunities which clubs and organiza- tions offer will prove to be as beneficial as the academic training received at St. Alphonsus. ORGANIZATIONS Leaders in school the NHS and SC serve all Arrows The Student Council of St. Alphonsus High School provides the impetus for school activity and student life. Led by an able and active Execu- tive Board, the unending enthusiasm of moderator Mr. Schlaff and the care and concern of adminis- trator Sister Agnes Charles, the Student Council alleviates congested halls during change of class or plans a Mardi Gras. Being a government that is of the students, by the students and for the stu- dents is a task easily executed by the Student Council. Guiding students does not end with the Stu- dent Council but continues with the National Hon- or Society. This society is composed of the scholars who are also workers in the school. They serve as examples of academic ability but they also present up-to-date, interesting cultural activi- ties under the careful guidance of Sister Rose Margaret. These two organizations work for the students performing functions pertaining to the welfare of the entire school since both have the cooperation of the student body. 72 (Above left) Elaine Duchovic and Sister Grace Adalaide enjoy the National Honor Society Teacher Appreciation Breakfast.

Portraying gen- erosity in their constant contributions to worthy causes, they show an enormous spirit of giving. One such cause was their collection for the Prop- agation of the Faith. Showing their concern for the needy, the members of the Mission Club sponsored the organization of food baskets for Thanksgiving Day. Also, spreading the spirit of brotherhood and giving is the Christian Life Community. Their collection of Betty Crocker coupons proved suc- cessful in the purchase of a kidney machine. Many men in Vietnam were elated to receive packages of Kool-Aid which was the ingenious idea of the members of the CLC. Poster-selling, a bagel sale, Mardi Gras booth and the giving of Christmas greeting cards kept the school high in the spirit of giving, thanks to the helpful members of these organizations. 75 (Above right) Sharon Giesinger retrieves a souvenir in remembrance of the GAA-Varsity Club dance.

(Above left) Rick Bar- lage shows Senior spirit as he buys a shaker from GAA President, Nancy Evon. 76 Athletes organize school pep, spirit Promoting an inspiration of school spirit to the student body, the Girls’ Athletic Association and the Boys’ Varsity Club, sponsor throughout the school year, different events. Ending the football season with a student- faculty football game and sponsoring the girls’ powder puff game, the Varsity Club shows its vitality. The club organizes transportation in the form of buses to the away basketball games and the away swimming meets. Also the Varsity Club sells refreshments at the home basketball games. The GAA does its share in promoting school spirit. They sell pins to promote pride in the school and they also sell shakers to be used at all the different games held at St. Alphonsus. The GAA and the Varsity Club get together and hold their annual dance, usually right after Christmas time. This year’s dance, “Another Visit To My Farm,” was a tremendous success for both clubs. Blue and gold pom-pons, booster buttons, spir- ited signs, and filling the gym for basketball vic- tories all show that the GAA and the Varsity Club members are alive with pep as well as spirit. 77 (Above) Claudia Dickis and Linda Duchovic are busy preparing their homeroom for the annual School Beauti- ful Decoration Contest.

Miss Grubaugh, holds the Piffata as Chuck Sudekum begins to swing. 78 A new approach mixed with tradition success is enjoyed Three foreign languages are kept very alive among the students at St Al’s through the ac- tivities of the language clubs: French, Latin and Spanish. This year these organizations prepared a new and different approach to acquainting themselves and the entire student body with the diversity and the custom connected with these languages. Working together an International Week was produced for everyone to enjoy. Togas donned by amateur Roman actors were admired, tempting tacos were tasted and a realistic Parisian Cafe was visited. All in all, the week proved to be a success for everyone involved. During the entire year, each of the clubs was continually at work providing interesting, enjoyable and educational experiences for all members. Another “language” that is frequently heard echoing through the halls and classrooms of St. Al’s is: “Please pick up that paper! Get that room straightened out!” It’s none other than the sounds of the faithful School Beautiful Club. mm (Above) Don Pikulski works on paste-ups for the school newspaper.

(Far right) Chris Czurak puts together a layout for the newspaper. 80 Different concepts form new Arbalest Unique, informative, fresh and up to date, the Arbalest is the new source of information here at St. Al’s. When the first paper started three years ago it was named the Grapevine and mainly reported the common news or facts in the school. This year, the Arbalest has increased its issues and has given the students reliable, valuable and solid information. The Arbalest is the crossbow from which the arrow is shot, the backing which keeps the students informed. The whole paper is a new one, one to meet today’s standards, one to overcome all curves in the road. The hard working staff composed of students from every grade level is guided by the efforts of the editor-in-chief, Annette Prevaux and co-editor, Christine Czurak. The advisors. Miss Mihora and Mrs. Holtyn are always there to give suggestions and generally oversee the entire operation. The new name and the new image has proved the Arbalest to be a tremendous success and in the future it will continue to publish according to the changing times. 81 Yearbook results How can a drawer full of pictures be trans- formed into a yearbook? First of all for a year- book to come into being, there must be a handful of dedicated workers willing to spend many extra hours after school in the small yearbook room. Many of the preparations start long before school begins with a week long summer yearbook course. Next, cover designs and letter types are chosen and finally, deadlines are set up for the entire year. Now begins the hectic part of the whole schedule. Fourteen and twenty-eight page deadlines with just a few weeks in between are a common part of a yearbook. Besides this, they must contend with late pictures and unwritten cutlines and headlines. Complete dedication is one of the most im- portant elements in putting a yearbook together. Without this it is doubtful whether that same drawer of pictures would become the 1971 Arrow yearbook. hours of work (Above far left) Mimi Matosh and Mary Ellen Shoup draw a layout sheet adding their creative touch to the ’71 Arrow yearbook.

(Left) Year- book moderator Mrs. Mellon explains a new procedure to Editor-in-Chief Elaine Duchovic. 83 Underclassmen show their unending spirit An Underclassman lives a busy life becoming the focusing, throbbing, central beat of a pulsat- ing student body. Bearing the brunt of the Seniors, criticized, complained about, laughed at, the Underclassmen prove that they are more than what the Seniors think they are. You will notice the Juniors design- ing their dance decorations and the Sophomores constructing a magnificent Homecoming float. Al- so you will see the Freshmen fighting to put their Mardi Gras king and queen “on the top.” It’s inspiring to look towards the future, but the funny memories, the tears and laughter that reign in three tumultous years cannot be denied. The insanity and intelligence that develop an Underclassmen are worth their weight in gold.

Freshmen! There they are! All of them starting down that long and winding road that will lead them throughout their four years at St. Alphonsus. In their initial year, the Class of ’74 has met many detours. The Freshman athlete found out that not only did he work like a horse during practices but that he was also to be a “work- horse” for the upperclassmen. During the school day, they hurry to clear the congestion in the hall as they go to their lockers. Shouts of, “Move it. Freshmen!” can be heard clearly ringing through the halls of St. Alphonsus. Although the Freshmen are considered “under- dogs,” on many occasions they have shown that this statement is not true at all. The Class of ’74 have many able-bodied athletes on the various school teams. The Freshmen have spent hours of effort constructing a Homecoming float and al- though it didn’t win. the Freshmen discovered what unity is. Now as they leave their Freshmen year and enter the world of Sophomores, they enter it not as “under-dogs” but simply as underclassmen. 87 (First row) Theresa Koda, Maryellen Gugala, Patrick Mick, Tom Dutka, Eleanor Limas, Anna Zajac, Ed Gawlik.

Our Sophomore power will never stop.” With these words, the class of 1973 began its Sophomore year by loudly cheering its way to the traditional third place in the unbiased cheering contest at the Senior pep rally. Sophomore power did not stop there. It braved the cold of many a September night and with a saw in one hand and a cup of hot chocolate in the other, it constructed the prize winning Homecoming float. Their Arrow pride continued as they organized the highly suc- cessful Sophomore-Senior breakfast just a few days after the hectic Homecoming weekend. Their winning enthusiasm also played important roles in many athletic Arrow victories. It became prouder and stronger as it brought home the Jun- ior Varsity football championship trophy. It sent young men and women to the basketball court in hope of adding valuable points in an important game. It dressed itself in splendor and attended the many dances. Sometimes the Sophomore pride was low but as the year progressed it gathered the momentum it needed to become one year older and prouder.

United in spirit this class has proved to be headed in the right direction. Many of their activities had lasting memories for all. Some of the memories include the dance for Pro- posal C — the Juniors whole-heartedly supported the cause. Their own Junior class dance, “Out in the Country,” made it possible for everybody to enjoy a taste of country life. The annual turkey raffle presented Senior, Gary Skalski and Junior, Dennis Klotz with two fine-feathered birds. With the approach of Christmas, the activities of the Junior class still continued. Anxiously they awaited the coming events of the remainder of the year such as the Mardi Gras and the Operetta. The climax of the Junior year was the selecting of their class rings, an event that will hold many memories. Finally with the coming of June and the close of their Junior year, the idea of becoming a Senior became a reality. (Above) Donna Rinna takes time to enjoy a break in her daily schedule.

Familiar style ends new excitement ahead There’s a class ring on your hand. Your home- room is on the second floor; you cram govern- ment notes at lunch. Students look up to you; teachers demand more from you. You’re one of many, yet you feel alone. You’re a senior! it’s a long, rocky road you follow, wound around Freshmen confusion, hidden from other students. It has tangled in Sophomore biology, but now the road isn't quite as crooked. It led to Junior year, almost smooth, almost bright, choosing stones for rings, analyzing future col- leges. And suddenly — here you are! Why does “Seniors leave first” sound good, even if you’ve heard it twenty times before? It seems this road would never end, but now that road has run out, and with it, time . . . SENIORS Final year comes soon for Seniors, now facing future Someday, I knew I would be here, cutting out feet tor my Senior dance, choosing Homecoming queen, constructing a pagoda. Someday I’d choose my class song, or pick the tux for my prom. I’d pack my suitcase for Wash- ington, D.C. one morning; I’d pack it again one evening to come home from retreat. I’d fill out college forms, take the Michigan Competitive. Yes, I knew someday there’d be a place for me as a Senior. I have found my place this year. It’s so hard to evaluate what I have done because it seems it wasn’t much. Who can tell me when I cast off the garb of an underclassman and became a Senior. Was it in research paper, buried beneath note cards? Was I a Senior cheering at games, or sitting on the sidelines at a dance. Someday, I knew I’d be here. Is it possible that day has already come and gone? I find time has moved too fast for me and my present is so swift that I seem to look more towards my future. I selected a white peace rose as my flower and peace as my way of life. My colors, purple and gold, hint at royalty and honor. I have known for years that my class is one of potential and somehow between government and games, I have found this to be true. As I knew what this year would be like, so I can guess at future years. I know that I have formed friendships this year that will grow as I grow. I have met many people this year and have learned the good in them — the present good and the good people they will become. I know that somewhere, there’s a place for everyone in my class. Together we will find these places. There may be a time when the tears of this year will blur my mind along with the laughter. But the honor I held for one fleeting moment will never leave me, though intangible and distant. Someday, I’ll drag this book down from the shelf and lose myself in memories. These days seem so far away from me now . . . but then, so did this final fleeting year. Susan Mary Misiak Secretary David A.

Much aid, advice and effort was utilized to compact an entire year into a hundred thirty-six pages. The ’71 Arrow was aided by Mr. Frank Vel of the U-D Journalism School. For an entire sum- mer week Mr. Vel and his staff taught future yearbook editors how to compile a yearbook in between the famed “fooze-ball” tournaments of Columbiere College. Also the ’71 Arrow is grate- ful to Mr. Whitehead of Modern Yearbook who aided us in the selection of type style and a color scheme for the cover. Aid also came from Mr. Frank Ortman and Craine Studios for their stu- pendous rush-jobs on last minute pictures. The entire staff would like to thank Mrs. Mellon, our advisor, for not only providing the staff with ad- vice but also boosting our morale when we didn’t quite make our deadlines. As the editor, I would like to thank the staff for always producing the needed headline or that forgotten copy. Also I would like to thank Dan Cardelli, the business manager, for handling our books so efficiently even though I’m not quite sure which base system he used to compute the cost of the yearbooks. Finally I would like to thank our excellent photographers for their great work. A year is completed with many more years lurking ahead down that long, and winding road waiting for future yearbook staffs to sift, sort and compile them into future yearbooks.

Every path- way has its culmination. Every road must lead to something. Every road winds its way toward the end and we follow it hoping to find happiness at the end. This happiness has been ours this year as we followed the long road of education. All the frus- tration felt by every Arrow supporter during the basketball season war dissolved one joyous Sat- urday night in March as we won the District Championship. All of the teams’ hard work and effort was finally rewarded as the Arrows’ cap- tains and Coach Mr. Guza received the trophy. Also as the year progressed and the basketball season ended, a new excitement filled the stu- dents’ lives. All the difficulties encountered in these seven weeks were erased when the curtains closed on the operetta, “My Fair Lady. This year is now over, completed. This year will only live on in our memories as we continue to travel down that long and winding road. 136 MODERN ft fti ftl vSV' «V v ' y, . y £y $ WsQ 4 § “A ft“a fi ft is i 9 Q '£) P ’ m a m f §A!l 5 f §a ft ft A ft ft ® A fi “ « 4 “ f £} £ £ f 4 ft a £... r cioss 1971 4 o.v ° _ a if fi® faf ji • . r .
