From a distance, one can sense the atti- tude of an Arrow to be curious, cooperative, and challenging. As one draws nearer, how- ever, he begins to notice a distinct spirit of inquisitiveness and sincerity. Finally, an in- formal familiarity with an Arrow would con- vince anyone that this student has a sensible, realistic view towards life, and that through his efforts in education, he is continually re- flecting his freshly acquired knowledge. Throughout his four years of high school, the Arrow learns what cooperation, sincerity and realism are, and also how these traits can and do affect the impression he throws upon others. As a Senior, he has the opportunity to reminisce about these four years, and recall a few of the numerous experiences that have done so much to mold him into the student he is today. With these experiences in mind, the student cannot help but release a smile which captures both the pride and joy he is presently feeling . . . the image of an Arrow. 4 Each Day Counts In Mystery of Life In tracing the events of 1971 and 1972, we can deeply appreciate what joy and sorrow are, how life consists of ups and downs and how these seemingly inevitable fates can and do influence our lives. The deaths of two St. Alphonsus students, Tim Raczynski and Louise Swain, was cause for serious reflection on the part of their fellow students. Individuals paused long enough to ponder over the unpredictable destinies of life which leave so many questions unanswered. These deaths were indeed tragic events, how- ever the wheels of life continued to turn and acceptance was the only thing left for the dis- illusioned students to grasp. There was much to be content about too, as the Arrow cherished each of his many victories, whether they were in sports or speech. The signs of future successes were apparent both to the faculty and parents. Opportunities and Decisions Granted to Youth As one peers into a quiet pond of clear water, he is able to see more than just a pool of quies- cent ripples. He can see an enormous mirror of himself and his immediate surroundings. Com- paratively, a student's reactions toward his edu- cation, his school and his roles—be they roles of leadership or of a dedicated follower—mirror his unique individuality and his efforts to cope with the various predicaments that life offers. Each day, we are faced with a choice as to what type of image we wish to enforce within ourselves. At St. Alphonsus, the 1971-72 school year illustrated hundreds of distinct images as the students sighted goals and sought to carry them through to the end. Often the thought of getting up on Monday mornings hit a student hard; however, once he arrived at school, any trivial action usually changed his mood. A conversation with someone he never really talked to, a pep rally, the con- cern of a faculty member, even a simple smile— each of these deeds tend to encourage a student. Thus he finds it much easier to display his youth- ful energy. It is not easy for the student to create an image of himself that is acceptable to everyone. But this only confirms the fact that a student, whether a leader or a follower, outgoing or reserved, confident or unconfident, is a very special being with no set pattern that he must feel compelled to reflect. This explains why every student's image shines, as does a rare gem, upon the world. 9 10 FACULTY AND ACADEMICS Administration Brings Students Together Though a school is mainly composed of a student body, the major attribute behind success in a school is the principal. A principal is much more than a maker and enforcer of rules. The guidance and motivation a principal provides reflects upon the students. At St. Alphonsus, the energetic efforts of Sister Agnes Charles, the principal, have reflected in the making of an efficiently operating school. Through her daily efforts the principal creates an atmosphere which will help to motivate stu- dents academically, as well as socially. What is most important. Sister Agnes Charles takes a genuine interest in the students. She takes time from her busy schedule to visit classes, look in on a class project or just to advise a puzzled student. Helpers that assist Sister Agnes Charles in her role include Sister Rose Margaret, assistant prin- cipal, school secretary, Mrs. McGuire and Sister Clare Charles. Sister Agnes Charles and her assistants are firmly dedicated to the cause of motivating the students down the road to success into whatever they choose to do in their future years. 12 LEFT: Mrs. McGuire, secretary, begins to type the daily an- nouncements.

RIGHT: George Allen, Dan Ciszewski and Kathy Denby find Sister Willard interested in their future plans. Present and Future Studies Emphasized In Guidance, Library As a student approaches the Guidance Center, he is a little uncertain. He later emerges with a faint smile of confidence. Sister Willard, Guidance Director, can be lo- cated faithfully during the school day in the Guidance Center assisting students. Sister Rose Margaret encourages Seniors with testing and scholarship material. Father Maloney and Mr. Pachla counsel both upper and lower classmen, while Sister Rose Clement provides guidance for Freshman girls. The Library provides students with a research center where they can further their studies. The student has easy access to information that will make assignments easier. If the Arrow student takes advantage of these facilities, he will be prepared to meet the world upon graduation. Religion Builds Future Leaders Throughout our lives, we must mature not only physically, but intellectually, socially, morally and spiritually if we are truly going to live our lives to the fullest capacity. Through the study of Religion we attain this maturity and aware- ness of ourselves. Religion aids we Freshmen and Sophomores in finding who we are, our place and importance in today's world and adjusting to the new people and circumstances we will encounter in our high school and adult lives. The Juniors and Seniors discover through Re- ligion class our capabilities and goals in life, a deeper realization of social, religious and politi- cal conditions in the world today and the final preparation needed before we enter the main- stream of adult life. Through an understanding of our Catholic Re- ligion, we gain a deeper and fuller understand- ing of God, our fellow man and today's chang- ing and confusing world. As we achieve this understanding, we are maturing into Christian men and women who focus our attention on the world. 16 EXTREME UPPER LEFT: Rick Stec studies the Michigan Catholic in order to find an interesting article on today's church.

The energetic English depart- ment devotes much of its time to making the classes up to date and interesting to the stu- dents. Modern techniques make English at St. Alphonsus really a part of 1972. Freshmen and Sophomores get the basic back- ground in English necessary for future courses. Their anthology includes sections on poetry, Greek Mythology, short stories and English usage. On the other hand. Juniors and Seniors have their choice of exploring topics from Film- making and Dramatic Arts to Creative Writing and Research Paper. Also a number of novel courses help students understand modern writers of to'day. There are a wide variety of subjects offered that suit almost everyone's interests. English is vibrant and very much alive at St. Al's. A new twist to some basic topics makes English appealing to the student. 18 ABOVE FAR LEFT: Miss Mihora and John Zaporski discuss a passage from a contemporary novel.

EXTREME RIGHT: Sr. Rose Margret helps Hedwig Potak find the dimensions of the cylinder cone. 20 Fig ures Conquered By Arrow Wizards Mathematics is defined as the science that deals with the measurement, properties and re- lations of quantities including Geometry and Algebra. At St. Alphonsus, Arrow students have the opportunity to pursue their mathematical ability through a wide variety of subjects. A willing and able faculty are behind their stu- dents helping them with their challenging en- deavors and making math stimulating. Logic and reasoning are two necessary ele- ments for success in any of the math fields. One must open his eyes and look at all the possi- bilities of the problem. Whether the problem deals with variables in equations, congruent tri- angles, trigonometic functions or vectors, the math student must delve into it and extract the necessary information. His reasoning ability is displayed when he applies simple formulas and theorems to practical situations. Mathematics in- deed challenges the student to keep pace in this world increasingly dependent on math. Current and Historical Events Enthrall Arrows The exciting world of social studies takes one on a journey into the past, present and future. It gives the Arrow student an awareness and appreciation of the world around him. In the years of high school one explores the known and unknown cultures of the world. Through this one understands how people different than oneself live and exist in the modern world. Increasing knowledge of the United States' heritage is an important aspect of the students' education. It traces the development of the coun- try back to the days of the American Revolution and forward to such controversial topics as the war in Vietnam. An understanding of the past is essential to make a better future. Through debates on the political system, stu- dents gain a better understanding of govern- ment. In Economics, the banking system. Stock Market and other related topics give the Arrow student knowledge of the financial operations in his country. Hopefully these courses will create better world citizens.

Reluctant chemists puzzle over such earth- shattering topics as the configuration of atoms. Meanwhile Miss Romanchuk gives encourage- ment to students whose lab experiment on aceta- mide backfired. In another classroom, Mr. Miller tries to calm the queasy stomachs of the biology students as they begin their first dissection. Future Arrow physicists, as well as Mr. Hogan, are amazed at their own skill to compute the amounts of mechanical energy needed. Their pride diminishes as they are expected to show their newly learned knowledge on a test the next day. Relax! Now you are out of the danger zone of the future scientists. It is hoped that the knowledge of these Arrow students will help them to take an active part in the coming era of scientific advancement. RIGHT: Marty Ryzak and Bob Pietrzyk conscientiously work on a mixture necessary for lob session. FAR RIGHT: Ben Audio and Dan Burton watch carefully as Mr. Miller shows them exactly what to look for in the specimen.

ABOVE FAR RIGHT: Chris Slaby watches cautiously to see what the ultimate results will be of her experiment. 24 Foreign Cultures Inspire Students' Lives When one walks into Room 203, he can sud- denly feel the air of Spain, its matadors and the bullfights they engage in as Mrs. Gugala relates it to her students. Or else you can picture yourself on the pampas of Argentina, seeing a few gauchos riding on their slow-trotting horses. But when one enters Room 208, he can feel L'Espirit de Francois as Mr. Headley speaks of France and its culture. Along with the necessary grammar and usage instructions, the French textbook is filled with humorous stories about the French people and their interesting school system and customs. Finally one can experience the glorious days of Rome and of Caesar, as Sister Clare Celmer or Sister Marie Harold bring out the wonders of Latin to their students. With the expert help and guidance of the Language teachers, the Arrow strives to become the exceptional linguist, and when he reaches his goal, the Arrow can know and relate to the world a little bit better through the languages he speaks. ABOVE FAR LEFT: Simonette Hass, Claudia Dickas and Sharon Slattery listen enthusiastically as Mr. Headley ex- plains the popularity of French Christmas Carols. ABOVE LEFT: Kathy Hengesbaugh shows Jean Fuoco all the goodies at the Bake Sale, sponsored by the French Club.

FAR LOWER RIGHT: After prayer has opened the class, Mr. Pachla informs his typists of their directives for the day. Students Prepare for a Business Future Our Business Department certainly prepares capable students for a career in business. The experienced leadership of Sr. Clare Charles and Mr. Pachla along with the charm- ing style of Mr. Vanderwill, a newcomer to St. Al's, blend together to produce able-bodied bookkeepers and secretaries. Just walk into any Shorthand class and you'll hear the familiar sounds of a few years ago led by Sr. Clare Charles, P-i-e-s-: please. Then up the stairs and around the corner to 201, the 'click-clack' of busy typewriters rings through the halls to the beat of Mr. Pachla's, f, space, g, space. Or, if you wish, you could visit one of Mr. Vanderwill's General Business or Bookkeeping classes. There you'd discover that Assets equal liabilities plus proprietorship. This is the Book- keeping Equation. Students appreciate good instructors — those who know their work and teach it well. Teach- ers also appreciate alert students who learn and study well. In a combined effort, both teachers and students learn the mechanics of business. Fine Arts Brings Out Talents in Students Today we hear the expression Express Your- self and that is what the students of St. Al- phonsus are doing this year in Art, Band and Choral. It is through our instructors that the stu- dents in these fields bring out the best in what ever they try to accomplish. Sr. Marie Harold tries to give her students the best possible background in art. She directs the students in her classes through the channels open to their creative individual talents. Mr. Leo Tallieu brings out the best in the mem- bers of the band. It is through his guidance that our band is able to look so spectacular on the football field at half time. It is also through the enthusiastic response of the students that it per- forms so well. Sr. Grace Adelaide's job is one of the hardest. Channeling the energy of the students into that of singing, she tries to get the students to sing as loudly as they cheer at our games. She has them express themselves through classical as well as the more popular tunes. While all of these are ways of expressing oneself, the whole force of the Fine Arts De- partment is shown in the School Operetta. Art, Band, and Choral join forces to express the spirit of the school itself. 30 ABOVE FAR LEFT: The St. Alphonsus Choral groups and Band perform at the Christmos concert.

ABOVE: Mr. Williams has some time to stop and think for awhile, after teaching his last gym class. 32 Home Ec and Gym Encourage Vivacity Academic achievement is not the only goal of St. Alphonsus high school. A popular elective is Home and Family Living. Sr. Patricia not only stimulates the Senior girls thinking by confront- ing them with budget problems, but she also enables each student to express their creativity in furnishing and decorating a future home. Be- sides the basic elements of sewing, many help- ful hints are given to the clothing students en- abling them to create fashions reflecting their own personal taste at a low cost. In the Physical Education Department, Mr. Williams and Mrs. Zub work to develop the Arrow student socially as well as physically, as they strive to reach a unified team effort in their gym classes. There are many activities which the students are able to enjoy. An Arrow stu- dent emerges as a well-rounded person. 33 ATHLETICS Bottom row: E. LeDuc, B. English, M. O'Donohue, P.

The fulfillment of this dream became vivid to the Arrow Football Team when it was rated as high as 3rd in The Detroit News Class C High School Polls This was a goal the team had worked hard for through summer sessions two and three times a day, along with weight lift- ing from December to June. On route to a three game winning streak and league title contention, the Arrows traveled miles to conquer out-state Addison. After two league victories, defeat visited the Never-Die Arrows on three occasions. The first and most unbearable loss saw our gridders lose in an upset by one point to Ann Arbor St. Thomas. The rejuvinated Arrows won the coveted Homecoming game over Our Lady of Lourdes much to the delight of loyal fans. The team finished the season off by beating St. Andrew's in the first half. In this game, the nine seniors who toiled so long together were playing out their last few minutes of the season. This past year Arrow fans have witnessed a resurgence of Arrow football, as each season improves. 1971 VARSITY FOOTBALL RECORD ARROWS OPPONENTS 52 Addison 0 40 St. Hedwig 2 42 St. Agatha 6 26 St. Thomas 27 6 St. Mary's 26 39 Our Lady of Lourdes 12 16 Mt.

St. Mary's 52 Just less than half a century ago, St. Alphon- sus was established. In this 50 year span, the 1st Catholic Championship team did not arise until 1972. A team emerged that made a fan proud and honored to witness one of its contests and proud to be in any way associated with the school from which the team hailed. This year's Arrow Basketball Team finally broke the ice and won the 2nd Division Championship, the 2nd Division West Side, and the State District Tourna- ment. The Arrows ran their season record to an impressive 20-2, losing to Orchard Lake St. Mary's and beating the same team twice. Equal- ly impressive as their record was the Arrow 18 game winning streak, in which they beat all but two of their challengers more than once. The determination, spirit and integrity of this club accounts for its overwhelming success as men and players. Much credit must be given to the coaching staff of the Varsity. Mr. Guza and Mr. Sieszpeto- wski supplied excellent strategy throughout the season. The amount of time and effort put forth by these dedicated men can be equalled by none and success would have truly been im- possible without them. In its seemingly never-ending conquest, this team made one feel proud, spirited, all-conquer- ing and more. The team that went so far this year leaves the bright promise that next year the Arrows WILL GO ALL THE WAY! 40 Front Row: Student Manager T. Rashid, T. Cardelli, M. Burke, Co-captain J.

Their ten league victories of the season can be accounted for by the hustle and determination to be victorious. Under pres- sure, the inexperienced JV could hold their own. Many exciting games were seen throughout the season. Some were won on last second baskets. The champions, in several tight ball games, showed their poise by out-rebounding their op- ponents. Their excellent outside shooting and strength inside gave the Arrow's JV an equal scoring attack and aggressive defense, supplying the advantage over opponents. After three years of Freshman co-champion- ships, the 1971-72 Freshmen won an outright league championship and gained an undefeated season of 12-0. Exhibiting excellent defense and super offensive punch, the Arrows Freshmen toppled one opponent 92 to 13. Under Coach Sieszputowski's direction, the Freshmen complet- ed the round of championship attained by all three Arrow teams this season. 1971 JV BASKETBALL RECORD ARROWS OPPONENTS 71 St. Hedwig 30 63 St. Agatha 50 43 Ann Arbor, St. Thomas 32 42 Orchard Lake, St. Mary 36 58 Our Lady of Mt.

With only one senior squad member, this proved to be a year for building. The team was comprised primarily of freshmen and sophomores who have dis- played a great deal of potential. The upper- classmen, led by Captain Brian Mick, have dem- onstrated their leadership throughout the year. Brian has helped to keep team spirit and unity alive during this period of rejuvenation. Although this season has not proven to be as successful as previous seasons, next year's team should be one of the best St. Al's has seen in its six short years of competitive swimming. While school records were broken this season by Junior Alex Alexander in the 50 yard free- style, Sophomore Greg Moryc in the 100 yard breast stroke, the highlight of the 1971-72 com- petitive season proved to be the All City meet. St. Alphonsus breezed past all its second division opposition including the division champs— Bishop Gallagher, to take high honors from among the second division teams. The Arrows won All City awards in the 100 yard backstroke and in the 100 yard breast stroke. The 400 yard freestyle relay team composed of Brian Mick, Alex Alexander, Gary Rachfal and Steve Laczin- ski also won recognition when it captured the alternate position. 1972 SWIMMING SCORES ARROWS OPPONENTS 46 Sacred Heart 59 61 St. Mary's of Redford 44 41 Bishop Gallagher 63 48 Sacred Heart 56 61 St. Mary's of Redford 44 41 Bishop Gallagher 64 46 FIRST ROW: Steve Laczynski, James Merrill, Jim Smith, Steve Zulczyk, John Dziurgot, Frank Migliore.

When they look at their many victories though, they forget any anger or fa- tigue they may have felt. An overall record of 5 wins and 1 loss showed these girls that they weren't working for nothing. The 1971 softball team not only benefited through victories, but have learned what it is to work together to form a unified team. Comparatively, the Boys' Baseball team dis- played constant and rewarding team work. They proudly watched their season end with a 15-9 record. To them, no other spring sport could be as exciting and motivating. A winning home run means more to them than is imagin- able to any onlookers. When these Arrows are determined, they can come through all the way with a glorious victory.

Standing: Student Manager Ken Balinski, Bill O'Rielly, John Bieniek, Tom Luke, Jim Provost, Coach Gerald Pachla. Track differs from cross-country in that it demands a more diversified team, where a man can win one race and come back to win the next. Each individual demands a lot of hard work to win their championship. Our '71 Trackmen took more first places and sweeps than ever. The Arrows ran, jumped and vaulted to an 8-0 record and the 1971 Cham- pionship. The '72 Arrows hope to do the same. Endurance is the ability to run at a constant speed continuously. This is what Cross-Country is all about. Cross-Country is to endure a 10-mile jog, a 2% mile run for time, fifty 100's — all in one day. It is also two and a half hard-working months, or woodchips in the lower mile. Both Track and Cross-Country require effort and strength, ability and time. They can easily be summed up as pride and a sense of accomp- lishment. 50 Track Demonstrates Coordination, Strength EXTREME LEFT: Tom Luke races to the finish line where he re- ceives the baton.

Even if the record doesn't show the Varsity girls to be number 1, the girls are number 1 in spirit and unity. Under the leadership of Captains Dorothy Camilleri and Mary Ellen O'Reilly and their coach, Miss Jo Misek, the girls worked hard and long to become a great source of pride to all of St. Al's. Also important were student managers Kathy Mullen and Jane Zawacki. The Junior Varsity girls had a new coach this year, Miss Helen Wisocki, and were led by Cap- tains Sue Barry and Diane Machowicz. These girls are preparing for the time they will step into the Varsity's shoes. Agnes Philliben and Sharon Geis- inger are the girls behind the scene for the Junior Varsity team. Although the girls didn't come out on top this season, they have a lot to be proud of. St. Al's is proud of them, too. 52 VARSITY: STANDING: Janice Pierce, Nancy Grenn, Mary Alice LeDuc, Mary Ellen O'Reilly, Dorothy Camilleri, Laura Kus.

It grows louder and louder, until it explodes with en- thusiasm. This is the job of an Arrow cheer- leader — to lead the spirit of the crowd. Through the wind and the rain of a fall football game, her determination and pride can be seen. Her excitement and spirit are re- flected in her smile, at the sight of a winning basket or a breath taking 85 yard run at a football game. Through all the ups and downs her spirit remains as a guiding light, a spark of energy. BLUE AND GOLD . . . FIGHT! FIGHT! BLUE AND GOLD FIGHT! FIGHT! That's exactly what an Arrow cheerleader does. She fights to the end, never giving up the dream of another victory. Her amount of support can be measured in this last thought. The sky's the limit.

STUDENT LIFE Homecoming 1971 Relives the Gay —90,s Excitement was mounting at St. Alphonsus as Homecoming weekend 1971 finally arrived. The weekend activities officially began with the Homecoming Dance which took its guests back to the Gay Nineties. All the sparkle and splendor of that exciting era came to life in the colorful decorations. The Queen, Court and Honor Guard looked radiant as they made their appearance before the crowning. The dance was climaxed with the traditional grand march throughout the gym. Here comes the parade! yells a little boy. Everyone else is saying it too! First we see the Band and the Cheerleaders leading the parade with the school song. Queen Donna and her court. Sue, Lisa, Betsy and Doreen are next on the Gazabo which the Senior boys constructed. Next comes the Honor Guard smiling and wav- ing to the crowd. The class floats and decorated cars follow with brightly colored pompons and crepe paper. The parade ends at Fordson field where at half-time Queen Donna is presented with candy by the Band President and roses by the football team. The weekend ended with the Arrows conquering Our Lady of Lourdes. FAR LEFT: Sue Bochenck escorted by Co-Captain Tom McGlone approaches her place of honor.

Freshly pressed gowns rustled as the Seniors carried them over their arm entering the church in ceremonial procession. A newly painted church helped add to the joy of this very special occasion. After being invested with their gowns, a moment of silence swept through the pews as the Seniors rings were blessed. It was on this day that their image of a Senior was officially reflected upon the under- classmen. The smiles and the tears made it ob- vious to everyone that these young men and women were as proud of themselves as were their parents, who were also in attendance at the mass. Following the mass was a delicious breakfast which was the Sophomores' gift to the Seniors. Decorating each place of the table was a blue and purple candle, signifying both the Seniors' class song and colors. This was truly a special day for the Class of '72 — one which will remain in their hearts forever. 62 FAR LEFT TOP: Debbie Stankov and Denise Ruszkiewicz partici- pate in the moss as they sing one of the offertory hymns.

At St. Alphonsus we do not have that minor problem, for gentle- men assist the ladies in their preparations for the annual Powder Puff Football Game. After school, practices tend to be called on only the coldest, windiest days ... or so it seems to the determined Arrowette football player! They proved to be well worth the effort, however, when the big day finally arrived. When the underclassmen met the upperclassmen, they dis- played a concentrated effort for a victory. The game ended with the first defeat over the upper- classmen since 1969.

Mardi Gras Brings Excitement and Zeal Did you ever try to shave a balloon covered by shaving cream—with a genuine razor? Or sacrifice your beauty by volunteering to be in a Pie in the Eye booth? Have you ever had a chance to send an honest-to-goodness telegram to someone you like? These are just a few of the happenings that occurred at the St. Alphonsus Mardi Gras on February 15, 1972. Colorful clown faces, bunches of balloons, food, music and prizes upon prizes filled the gym. After the festival, students returned to the dance, at which the Mardi Gras King and Queen were announced. Curiosity filled the air as votes were calculated. The classes had supported their King and Queen, and it was at this dance that they discovered that the Senior King and Queen, Mark Essenmacher and Margaret Grisdela, had won. After the King and Queen were crowned the students continued to have a good time. 66 Drama Wins School Attention, Debators Are State Champs After many hours of memorizing poems and pantomimes, the Drama students finally begin to try their acting skills at one-act plays. Jerky gestures and nervous voices gradually become smooth and confident. In these invigorating classes, shy students overcome their fears of public speaking. After all, an audience is your friend, not your enemy. However discouraging this may seem. Drama and Debate students continue to strive to con- quer every possible technique necessary to be- come knowledgable in these subjects. Debators, faced with a seemingly drab topic, work to gain more information to back up their subjects and be totally prepared to demolish their opponents' presentation. Despite a few difficulties, they proved they were capable of coming out on top. In February, they went to Ann Arbor and proud- ly returned with a trophy proclaiming them state champions. 68 ABOVE: Pam Stec and Fran Hunt take part in the Drama Class presentation, The Stage Trotters.

Through Student Leadership is the essence of the Student Coun- cil at St. Alphonsus. It is the duty of this group to work together with the faculty, administration and student body. Mainly a representative body, the Student Council works to create and increase spirit and cooperation within the school. They try to accomplish this through Homecoming activities, Christmas caroling and the Mardi Gras. Student involvement makes way for school spirit. Another group relied upon for school leader- ship is the National Honor Society. The National Honor Society members are chosen by the high school faculty on the basis of scholarship, leader- ship, character and service. This group of stu- dents give their time to attend school functions and promote school interest. The Student Council and the National Honor Society work together to advance school spirit. Through their cooperation and example they work for the betterment of the school. ABOVE: Jim Rashid and Mary Ellen O'Reilly await voters for Freshmen elections.

They enjoy the feel- ing they receive after doing something for others. Knowing that staying after school and trim- ming stamps will eventually put a smile on someone's face is sufficient motivation for the Mission Club member. Cutting, sorting and weighing thousands of stamps was a big job, but the Mission Club proved it could do it. The CLC devoted much of their time to simply making people, both young and old, happy. A trip to a nursing home during the Christmas season, when so many people were touched by loneliness as well as joy, gave them a chance to show that they cared. Sequined Christmas decorations were tokens of the students' concern for their elders. The entire group marveled at the glitter in each others eyes as they chanted Christmas carols. Young men in Vietnam were appreciative of the surprise Valentines they re- ceived on February 14th. The consideration that these students presently hold for others is a positive image of the thought- ful and charitable adults they will be in the near future. ABOVE LEFT: Mission Club President.

When they weren't chartering buses, selling refresh- ments at basketball games, or setting up for Mardi Gras, their members were taking an ac- tive part in St. Al's sports program. The Girls' Athletic Association may not mean too many things to some people, but to its mem- bers it meant a great deal. With Dorothy Camil- leri, Laura Kus and Mary Ellen O'Reilly as its officers, the GAA enjoyed a successful year. At times, the members of the GAA had a difficult job, but selling pep buttons, washing cars, bak- ing for bake sales and arranging the Powder Puff game proved to be worth the effort to these girls. Avid participation was also shown in bas- ketball, softball and cheerleading by the GAA. ABOVE: GAA President, Dorothy Camilleri works on decora- tions for the Varsity Club-GAA sponsored dance.

If not, you're missing the opportunity of a lifetime which is right here at St. Al's. Why not join a language club? The Spanish, French and Latin Clubs have joined forces and estab- lished their representatives under one name, The International Club. The Clubs have sponsored various activities throughout the year with either a Spanish, French or Latin flavor. Another organization moving in on the scene is School Beautiful. This club attracts attention at Christmastime and when the Keep Dearborn Clean campaign rolls around. But when it has a job to do, it gets it done efficiently. This year, the Christmas Door Contest was a big success with Room 104 emerging the victors. 78 ABOVE FAR LEFT: Kathleen Sheehan and Yvonne Wojcik construct a second place prize winning door for Room 101.

Rarely do they think that a new year means the starting of another hectic Yearbook schedule. It takes time, hard work and patience to compile a proper Yearbook. Dedication and co-operation are key words for any Yearbook. The planning starts a few months in advance with some members of the staff attending spe- cial journalism classes in the summer. They learn all the little details necessary to add the special touches to the Arrow Yearbook. The preliminary layouts and plans for the book are made then. The real work begins just a few weeks after the opening of school. First, deadline dates are set up, then comes the subscription drive, then the patron drive, and more and more deadlines. It goes on and on until the 1972 Arrow Year- books are passed out at the end of the year. 82 83 Front Row: Gregory Czaplicki, James Stansik, Michael Leginski, Thomas Cordelli, Gerard Trybus.

Junior year is sometimes said to be the best year of high school. The Junior's advantage is that they are now upperclassmen, but they don't have the Senior pressures of college and the outside world. This year is a grand opportunity to become involved and to participate in many school activities. It is easy to see that this year many Juniors have had the insight into this opportunity. Their pride and spirit was shown right from the start with their prize-winning Homecoming float. They spent much time and energy in perfecting a giant bear. Next came their class dance just a few short weeks after the hectic Homecoming weekend. The Junior imagination ran wild as their dance Imag- ine became a reality, as well as an immediate success. Many situations display the Junior pride and spirit. It is obvious in their athletic endeavors and service to the school. It is clear to see that the Juniors came through extremely well when called upon to provide leadership. 85 Juniors Display Effort by Pride and Spirit Row 1: Lawrence Sholz, John Dzuirgot, Gregory Sokolik, Anthony Kumor, Edwin Comai.

The energies and en- thusiasm of the Class of '74 has been reflected in many facets. United in a tremendous spirit, the Sophomores have won several cheering competitions at pep rallies. The energies of the Sophomores did not stop there. Through their concentrated efforts, they organized a successful and much appre- ciated Senior-Sophomore breakfast in November. Though a Sophomore is acquainted with the activities of the school, he is still considered an underclassman. This fact will not stop him from achieving the recognition which is an important element of his pride. While struggling through Geometry problems and strengthening the fundamentals of their re- ligion, the Sophomores will look forward to plan- ning events such as the Mardi Gras and sponsor- ing their own class dance. With the end of the school year, the Sopho- mores' pride will gradually blend into the en- thusiastic spirit of an upperclassman.

He ponders on such decisions as which courses to take and which clubs to join. One of his many struggles includes the gradual development of helpful study habits, which slowly but surely mold him into a resourceful student with a challenging mind. By taking on new and different responsibilities, the Freshman becomes a mature adult through his four years of high school. His overflowing spirit is released, helping to fill the halls with the lively and re- freshing voice of life which is contained in his warm heart. At times throughout the year, the upperclass- men may joke and tease these new students, but deep in their hearts they can see themselves re- flected in them. An encouraging pat on the back from upperclasmen is not unusual. High school is full of surprises, and the members of the Freshman class are sure to find their years at St. Alphonsus most enriching. Shedding the image of an eager and adven- turous beginner, these Freshmen continue to grow as they prepare themselves for their up- coming year as Sophomores.

Is it possible? Can it be that four years of a person's life can go by so quickly and still seem like yesterday? The graduating class of 1972 can picture themselves as more than Seniors for such a description is insufficient after consider- ing the many experiences its members have shared. Freshman year was a mind-opening time for the Class of '72. It was more than just a year of introduction to high school life; it was a year of discovery—of new and exciting things. Bonfire pep rallies urged them to participate. Dances encouraged them to enjoy themselves. Car washes and paper drives inspired them to work for a cause. A first-place Homecoming float proved that this gifted class could do much in the way of success. Impressions of a restless class, a class eager to progress, were imprinted in all who took the time to observe. As Sophomore and Junior years slipped by, the Class of '72 opened their final year at St. Alphonsus with more than just a haste to graduate. They used their last year to further unify the students. With only ninety-four members, they realized their class was a special one—and more reaching out was done than ever before. The Senior's choice of a class song signified an undying faith, a simple hope that glowed in each individual. Recognizing the fact that they were actually there—on top with nowhere to go but out was a new and exciting thought. The challenges to be faced are comparable to those of a Freshman, only these are quite a bit more advanced—four years more advanced— and spur the ambition and determination that is contained in only a Senior. The fact that they are still growing encouraged them and supplied them with hope of success . . . success in relat- ing to new and different faces, as they have learned to do during their high school years. Stepping out of their last year of high school, they can look back and see the many actions and words which have prepared them for the final, glorious day. But now they must look ahead instead of backwards. Just as good things come in small packages, so did the Senior Class of '72 prove that, re- gardless of its small number, it could shine as brightly, if not brighter, than any other class at St. Alphonsus. After all, it's not quantity that counts, it's quality!! 104 Anthony Richard Jannuzzi President Michael William Zawacki Treasurer Laura Marie Kus Delegate Phyllis Flanigan Vice President Judith Ann Garbarino Delegate Pamela Marie O'Connor Member at Large Elizabeth Ann Connolly Secretary Thomas Bernard Swieboda Delegate Jerome E.

This is really the end! I keep imagining there are pictures to be rushed to Craine's ... or copy to be written. It certainly isn't easy for me to pick out people and thank them since so many people have done so much to help compile the 1972 Arrow. First off, I must thank U of D for spon- soring such a beneficial journalism school. Russ Whitehead, of Modern Yearbook, did much to help us make important decisions and changes. It must have taken quite a bit of patience on his part just to understand our margin notes! Frank Ortman of Craine's was A-l when it came to good sportsmanship. He managed to refrain from exploding during the many mix-ups we had. If there ever was a Greatest Yearbook Ad- visor Award, Mrs Mellon would be sure to get it. She never hesitated about giving of her time. She was also very understanding—even when I desperately pulled her out of her faculty meet- ings! She definitely did more than her share as yearbook advisor. A gold medal should go to our once-in-a-lifetime photographer, Dave Ka- ton. It's not everyone who will stay up till four in the morning for Yearbook! Pam O'Connor and Michelle Baker were our mathematical geniuses, and we truly appreciate their time and brains. Also generous was Judy Marietti, for we never would have survived without her artistic talents. Finally, I would like to thank the staff for its hard and continual efforts.

How swiftly a school year of unending climaxes slipped by! Through mind- opening experiences, our images were created . . . carved, fashioned, designed and built, all in accordance with the type of personality we wish to reflect. Look here! Look there! Anywhere we turn we find different ideas, contrasting points of view and conflicting roles. Our mere existence requires us to think ... to decide. It is a personal decision which must be made. There is always time for a change of mind, but now, we are forced to decide which images are suitable for us. Our lives are definitely not already molded for the future. We are continuing to grow, striv- ing to reach the very top. At times we find our- selves uncertain, but this uncertainty stems from our desire to do what is best. We gaze around us, and notice that along with the successes, there are a number of accompanying failures. We note also, that those successes were not just casuaf achievements. They were preceded by many hours of hard work and concentration, and very often failures. With this in mind it is possible to see our dreams as realistic reflections of the future. ABOVE: Joanne Rashid takes a moment to review a short, but very rewarding Freshman year. 136 Li MODERN W YEARBOOK . I •’ V ' ■ '- 5, ■ . : • ' '
