St. Alphonsus High School 7265 Calhoun Dearborn, Michigan 48126 Volume VII The Sun Rises on Learning, Experiences There is a beginning and an end to each event ... a sunrise and sunset to each day . . . a point of start and finish for schooling, but never an end to learning. Learning will continue with each new experience, whether it be within the confines of a school building or out in the open of the world. Our lives are marked by every experience we have whether it be for the better or the worse. Grade school was just a beginning — a small ray of light was thrust upon each of us; there was a quest for knowledge, a search for answers. As the sun rose higher in the sky, we entered high school. Freshmen began to tackle new experiences and learning from the start. Eyes were opened to new knowledge. Sopho- mores took their places and continued learn- ing and experiencing where they left off the previous year. Juniors, upperclassmen now, hold new responsibilities but still search for answers, reasons. Seniors, in their final step of high school, the beginning of higher learn- ing ... so much more to learn and so little time . . .“. . . Now we must learn from one another . . . Day-by-Day . . . Sunrise, Sunset.” Table of Contents Introduction 2 Faculty and Academics 10 Athletics 34 Student Life 56 Organizations 70 Underclassmen 84 Seniors 110 Patrons 130 Underclassmen in Sunrise of School Life Our lives are marked by many surprises — many new beginnings and new experiences. Our high school years are just one in many sunrises; but, a very important one, as we begin to make decisions about our place in the world. Freshmen year and we are in the sunrise of high school life. We enter this new exper- ience with enthusiasm, and begin many new activities. Our first dance is the Senior Dance and we become initiated into our new life. Floats now need to be built for Homecoming. Algebra tests require time for study. We go to athletic events and cheer a team with which we can identify. So much happening and so much to take in and suddenly we take the step to . .. . . . Sophomore year. Now we have Biology and awake early and stay late for a lab. This year we are the leaders for the underclass- men in the annual Powder Puff game. We dis- play our talent in the annual Talent Show. We dedicate a breakfast to the Seniors on Ring Day and look forward to the future. 4 Memories Shine Through Sunset Junior year — upperclassmen now — but still we hold some freedom from the decisions that each Senior must now make. Now we study American History and tackle typing tests. Still, we cheer for our favorite team and cheer the Arrows to another winning game. We work on our Mardi Gras booth making prizes that will attract everyone. Then all too suddenly, Junior year becomes a memory and we enter . . . . . . Senior year — a sunrise to new ex- periences and the sunset to our high school years. Appointments are made for Senior pictures. The Senior boys will choose a queen and court and build them a float for Homecom- ing. A political cartoon is drawn for Govern- ment and signs are made announcing Inter- national Week. Food and customs from other countries are introduced to the students. We must now sign up for college entrance ex- aminations and prepare for prom and gradua- tion. Everything is going so fast and then we see the sunset on high school. All we have left are the memories. 6 ‘Sunrise, Sunset, Swiftly Fly the Years’ “One season following another Laiden with happiness and tears.” For homecoming the atmosphere was changed at St. Alphonsus “to a place behind the sun . . . Over the Rainbow.” A dance, floats and a football game were all part of the weekend. Following the land of dreams came a fulfillment of a dream. After four years the sun finally rose on the Seniors on their day of recognition Ring Day. Powder Puff rolled around all too quickly and the roles were reversed; the girls executed the complex plays on the football field and the boys cheered their favorite side to victory. Mardi Gras — no one word to describe it. The school was laiden with happiness, competi- tion and preparation. Money was raised, games were played prizes were won and a king and queen were crowned. A talent show raised the sun on hidden talent and an operetta encouraed new found talent to continue to grow. The Land of Oz was revisited and everyone worked together so that another dream would come true. Events and activities will rise and set like the sun, but memories will live forever. 9 Faculty Provides Wisdom, Guidance Just as the dawn breaks every morning, each day a student spends in class sheds a little light on the workings of the world. The student looks to his teachers for that knowl- edge that will grow and become the education that all students so diligently strive for. The knowledge that one needs is vast. It is being able to make a geometric plan come to life on a board. It is analyzing the results of chemistry experiment. But this education is not only the knowledge of facts and figures; it is also the wisdom of experience. The student looks to the teacher for the guidance that will help him live and work in the world. The principal and teachers work with the students to help them under- stand and cope with the everyday activities that make up the sunrises of their lives. FACULTY AND ACADEMICS Administration: Reason for Much Success The chief duty of an administration is to manage and direct a group or body. Smooth operation of the entire system is a major re- sponsibility. It is a most difficult job, espe- cially when working with a diverse, energetic and intelligent group. Determination and gen- uine concern are must qualities for a principal working with young people. It is so important that high school students have effective leader- ship during these four important years. The administration has such a great effect since it is the most formidable authority they en- counter outside their home. A principal must be flexible and able to adapt to new and con- stantly changing situations. At St. Alphonsus, it is Sister Agnes Charles who holds this position. It is she, along with assistant principal, Sister Rose Margaret, who must decide what is best for the students and then enforce the decisions. Few people realize what a difficult role this really it. It is one that requires much wisdom, compassion, knowledge and experience. ABOVE: Assistant principal. Sister Rose Margaret contemplates her decision for the float competition.

BE- LOW: Peggy Kelley collects data to add to the “pro” side of her term paper in Sister Rose Margaret’s Religion class. Religion Molds Minds for Future Religion is a state of mind or a way of ex- pressing love for and trust in God. It is one’s effort to act according to the will of God. It is so important that people understand the relationship with their Creator. It is an ex- tremely complex relationship since we are associating with a Divine Power. Not only must we deal with our own personal relation- ship to God, but we must also consider our interaction in the community around us. This year, to help the young people of St. Alphonsus better understand their belief in God, religion classes have been designed to include such ideas as philosophy, theology and morality. The religious education instructors do not have all the answers. They present thoughts and ideas to the students along with basic Christian teachings. Then it is up to the individual to determine his own relation- ship with God. Being such abstract concepts, it is not always easy to grasp and understand God, the Church and the world around us. Re- ligions classes try to clarify some of these principles for the students. Creativity Blooms In English Class Many times each day we exchange thoughts and ideas with someone. We are continually telling others how we think and how we feel. Our imagination is brought to life by com- municating with individuals around us. The goal of the English department at St. Alphonsus is to improve the students’ ability to understand and to be understood by others. Since we can relay ideas in a variety of ways, English courses therefore come in an assort- ment of many kinds. They extend over cen- turies from Shakespeare to the more recent Modern American Literature. Drama and poetry classes are the more unique ways to convey certain impressions. The wide variety of courses offered to the students help to give them a better idea of the changing world around them. It prepares them for the time when they will express beliefs that will have a great effect on everything they do. 16 FAR LEFT TOP: Janice Merritt relaxes in Inde- pendent Reading.

They see and be- gin to comprehend the world (the rise and fall of great civilizations) and its leaders — the end of the Dark Ages into the Renais- sance, the French Revolution, Napoleon, King Henry VIII, the World Wars ... In Junior year the students road is limited slightly to the history covering American events in re- lation to the world — the American Revolu- tion, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, the Civil War, the Stock Market Crash, the New Deal . . . The Seniors continue on this road with Government, Economics, Consti- tutional Law and Foreign Relations — the Constitution, Election ’72, Stock Markets, Banking, Miranda vs. Arizona, the Wheat Deal, Watergate . . . By traveling the road of the past and pre- sent with the help of the teachers, the students of Social Studies will be able to utilize better their presence in the future. 18 ABOVE: Mrs. Mellon stresses an important point to her World History class.

New roles for math are always being discovered. It is up to the individual mathematician to select the role he wishes math to play in his life. Math can be a tool that is useful in answer- ing questions. Basic computations and arith- metic problems are used by people many times. Mathematicians also can transform math into a game. It is made up of rules that must be followed. A sense of achievement can be at- tained not from winning but from discovering. No one can deny that math is science. It presents problems that must be solved by a logical process of reasoning. It is ever chang- ing and advancing. To others math is an art. New postulates and concepts are always be- ing created. Much satisfaction and excitement is gained from this creativity. Finally, math is a language. It has a special set of symbols that is all its own. No matter how it is used, math communicates ideas to other people. by Discovering, Math ABOVE: Mrs. Davey explains mathematical con- cepts to her geometry class. LEFT: Bob Malkiewicz explains the workings of a truth table to Cindy Baker and Ronald Fisher. FAR LEFT: Pat Mick listens with interest as Sister Cyrenia gives a few points on graphing inequalities. ABOVE LEFT: Sister Rose Margaret keeps a watchful eye as Paul Kline explains a math assignment. 21 Students Are Fascinated With Lan ua e Mrs. Gugala greets her class with “Buenos dias, Como esta usted?” “Bien, y tu?” re- sponds the first year Spanish class. A few chuckles are heard from the third year Span- ish class as they listen to Spanish anecdotes knowing that they have achieved the art of speaking and understanding Spanish. “Comment allez vous?” asks Mr. Headley. “Tres bien merci,” twenty-three voices an- swer. The second year French class produces a skit to delight its audience. They learn to converse with one another in French and in turn discover the French culture. With the help of Sister Harold, the Latin class is reading an account of a family in Pompey. Latin is made tremendously more alive with this study of the ancient Roman Empire here at St. Alphonsus. ABOVE LEFT: Ed LeDuc discovers a certain area of old Rome. LEFT: Mrs. Gugala shows Helen Weeks, Hortensia Gonzales and Steve Pacitto that Spanish can be fun by reading Spanish comic books. TOP: With the help of Mr. Headley, Gerry Ezakir- ian, Steve Laczynski, and Joann Rashid perform a French play. ABOVE: The use of language tapes is proven worthwhile by Carol Hochstein, Alex Bauer, and Lisa Bendy. 23 Science Revealing, Tke Door to Life Science is not an easy field to explore as many chemistry and biology students will in- form you. It is not easy getting up early one morning and staying late one afternoon each week just for lab. The long hours spent in lab pay off when the final results are achieved. Classes are brightened up by science pro- jects and special reports. Through these re- ports and projects, Mrs. Hogan and Mr. Suarez try to relate the world of science to our everyday lives. As Mrs. Hogan patiently explains the Periodic Table to her puzzled pupils, Mr. Suarez is pointing out the inner organs of a frog to a horrified biology student. The metric system, dissections, chemical equations and anatomy studies open door- ways to a better understanding of the world around us. 24 ABOVE FAR LEFT: Sue Sochalski watches with interest as Mrs. Hogan sets fire to a piece of mag- nesium.

ABOVE: Observing a fish under a micro- scope fascinates Tim Mirabitur. 25 Students Find Key to Business World It isn’t an easy task at all to produce stu- dents efficient in typing, shorthand, and knowledge of business proceedings. No, it isn’t an easy task. Co-operation be- tween faculty and students is highly impor- tant. Careful planning and practical applica- tion is essential, too. Under the guidance of Sr. Clare Charles, Mr. Thomas Vanderwill, and Mrs. Joanne Wesley, students strive to become proficient in every aspect of the busi- ness world that is open to them. Typing advocates speed with accuracy as does Shorthand; only Shorthand stresses speed and accuracy in transcribing the notes, too. General Business, Bookkeeping, and Retail Merchandising acquaint the student with proper business procedures and relation- ships. The future executive or stenographer grasps every bit of vital information possible and continuously works to incorporate this knowledge into every type of work done.

These fortunate students can find the answers to their questions or problems in the Guidance Center, most ably headed by Sister Willard. Sister is being assisted this year by Father Maloney, and Sister Rose Clement, who counsels the freshmen girls. The Guidance Center is well equipped with voca- tional material as well as countless college pamphlets, catalogues and scholarship infor- mation. Many students, especially the seniors, take advantage of the counseling and guidance available to them at St. Alphonsus. The library is an everlasting source of knowledge to students and faculty alike. Our librarian, Miss Connor, is always willing to aid anyone that asks her and is a great help to all of us. She is being assisted this year by many library aides. The St. Alphonsus School Library is very resourceful to the students and is appreciated by all who use it. Students dis- cover its wealth of knowledge during their four years at St. Alphonsus. 28 ABOVE: Father Maloney extends his guiding ability to Celeste Olinn, Kathy Kelly and Mike Leginski through a special religion class.

This is being shown again this year through the Fine Arts program. The choral, with Sister Grace Adel- aide’s instruction are constantly preparing for either the Christmas Concert, Spring Concert or Operetta. With just one choral the task is more difficult. Everyone is giving one hundred percent so that all of the choral’s endeavors this year will be a huge success. The St. Alphonsus Marching Band is prov- ing this year that they are as versatile as its director, Mr. Leo Tallieu. The band plays at the sports events as well as transforming into an orchestration type band for their concerts. Mr. Tallieu, during second hour, can be found directing the St. Al’s band, but at Homecom- ing and Prom he can be seen and heard doing his part as the lead musician of the Leo Tallieu Quartet, one of the finest in the city. Fine Arts does not only mean the expression of musical talents. It is also the executing of artistic ability through drafting. Sister Marie Harold tries to stress the importance of pro- portioning to all her classes. Sister demon- strates how essential it is to coordinate the mind with the movement of the hand. 30 ABOVE: Under the direction of Sister Grace Adel- aide, the choral prepares for a concert.

The students are encouraged by our two physical education teachers, Mrs. Karen Zub and Mr. Michael Colletta, to develop an interest in sports as a form of recreation and the importance of good sportsmanship. As Home Economics teacher, Sr. Patricia shares her knowledge of patterns, cutting ma- terial, sewing, inserting zippers, sleeves, stitch- ing and hemming with her energetic Clothing I and II students. The girls are given the opportunity to model and display their fa- vorite creations at the annual Spring Fashion Show. Sister also inspires creativity and a spirit of adventure in meal planning, table setting, choice of attire and manners through her Dynamic Living Class taken by many Freshmen here at St. Alphonsus. Physical Education and Home Economics are two examples of “learn by doing” classes. Through these the students acquire valuable skills, determination and patience required for daily living.

This description fits Arrows and Arrowettes perfectly. St. Alphonsus not only has great athletes but great championship teams as well. Great athletes are what championship teams are made of. The men and women in our success- ful athletic programs compliment each other, especially in action on the field or on the court. Our teams accomplishments are many and well-known. But more importantly their per- sonal accomplishments as athletes should be looked at. The long hours of practice and hard work all contribute to self-discipline, which will be an added asset in later life. Their tre- mendous faith in God make them what they all truly are — champions in every sense.

The mighty and fighting Arrow gridders would not let ill fate seek them out. In the immortal words of Vince Lombardi, “The greatest accomplishment in life is not to have never fallen, but to rise again after you have fallen.” This thought best summarizes the Arrow’s co-championship. This Arrow squad compiled a 7-1 win-loss record and won the school’s first football championship in 16 years. The Arrows exhib- ited stunning defense allowing an average of only five points a game, while the offense sup- plied an average of thirty points per contest. They gave all they had, because these athletes knew that this would be the necessary factor for the championship they worked so hard to achieve. Our football team truly took PRIDE in themselves and their school by giving St. Alphonsus’ loyal fans and themselves a cham- pionship team, great memories of being num- ber one, and a hope of remaining number one.

The ARROW Team Proves It A ain Cheering crowds, standing room only, team charging out in flashy blue and gold uniforms, music blaring, excitement so thick you could cut it with a knife . . . what one Arrow fol- lower has not experienced this marvel? The Arrows found success in many familiar areas this season. For the 2nd year in a row the Arrows Varsity won the 2nd Division Championship by defeating our rivals, St. Florian at U. of D. The Arrows trounced DePorres in the last home game of the year before the largest crowd ever to assemble under the sign of the Arrows. This gave the team their 3rd straight District Title and brought their home winning streak to 24 games. The Arrows were among the top 5 teams in the Class C ratings, were West Side Co-Champs and 2nd Division Champions. All of these great triumphs did not come by sheer luck or wishing, but through dedi- cation, sacrifice, and hard work. The whole team, players and coaches alike, devoted countless hours to drilling, practicing and training in order to achieve their impressive 22-2 record. Mr. Michael Guza was named the 1973 Coach of the Year by the Detroit Free Press for his outstanding efforts and tremendous results. 1973 VARSITY BASKETBALL RECORD ARROWS OPPONENTS 65 Pontiac C.C. 46 77 Port Huron Central 31 85 St. Agatha 43 80 St. Thomas 47 65 0.

The Junior Varsity and Freshmen basket- ball teams are composed of young men reflect- ing team pride and spirit. They must make sacrifices by practicing long hours and work- ing hard and to dribble the ball and at the same time to quickly elude the oncoming de- fense of the opposing team. They must also run many laps around the gym in order to be in the best shape for the game. Behind every basketball team is a great coach and two people fit the description— Mr. William Hood for the Junior Varsity and Mr. Ronald Kalczynski for the Freshmen. It is not easy for two men to mold a group of boys into a team of young men making them the best Junior Varsity and Freshmen basket- ball team in St. Alphonsus history. Through the victories and the winning spirit that these two teams have brought into St. Alphonsus, credit must be given to these two great coaches who spurred the Arrows Junior Var- sity and Frosh on to victory. Whenever the J.V. and Freshmen basket- ball teams runs onto the court, the crowd wildly rises with enthusiasm making the Ar- rows set for victories. We most certainly have a lot to boast when we say, “We’re proud of our team.” JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL RECORD ARROWS OPPONENT 38 Pontiac Catholic Central 54 69 Port Huron Central 21 60 St. Florian 67 52 St. Agatha 39 76 St. Thomas 34 72 O.L.

Girls Successful; Make It to Tournament Unity is what the girls Varsity basketball team has displayed throughout their exciting season. The girls, with the drive and en- thusiasm of their new coach, Mr. Lavine, have finished the 1972-73 season with a record of 8-2. Although these girls have a male coach it does not mean they are against women’s lib. Their theme song “I Am Wo- man” can be heard echoing throughout the gym before each game. Co-captains Mary Alice LeDuc and Mary Brennan have helped lead the team to such a fine finish and they are a team that St. Al’s can be proud of. The student managers, Kathy Mullen and Marianne Klos should be given credit for helping and keeping the team going. The Junior Varsity team also had a new coach this season, Miss Pat Theisen. With her encouragement the team ended with an 8-3 record. Captain Sharon Sokolik continues to motivate the team for future play as Var- sity members. Behind the junior varsity team, keeping spirits high are the student mana- gers, Debra Rosbury and Ann Kosztowny. 46 MT CARMEL BELOW: Joanne Rashid skillfully dribbles the ball while being closely guarded by the other team.

The Swimmers began in October to train for a new season, against opposition they had never had in their league before. Coach Wm. Headley announced that the two leagues were being combined so the team would no longer be scrimmaging against Catholic Central and Notre Dame but they would be swimming for league standings. The teams work was cut out for them. With the guidance from the coaching staff, includ- ing Assistant Coach Mr. Lawrence Suarez, and the co-captains Brian Mick and John Dziur- got, a strong new team was formed. The biggest event of the year was the meet against Bishop Gallagher. They have been the rivals of the swimming team since it was established seven years ago. The swimmers morale was high and their times were low. The results came as no surprise to the Arrows but they came as a shock to Bishop Gallagher. The score was 54-41. For the first time the victory cry of the Tankers was silenced. But they were not the only team to fall beneath Arrow power. The team not only defeated all the teams in their former league but also Class A, Notre Dame.

Running is not an easy thing to do. It requires a well conditioned body as well as an extremely stable mind. In Cross Country, the competitor runs non stop for three miles in all types of weather and over rough terrain. This year’s team, com- peting in an extremely tough league, did well despite a lack of personnel. Individuals too, did their best during the season by ranking high in All City meets. Tradition, winning, hard work, speed, en- durance and strength. All of these words are synonomous for track. The Arrows have built up a winning tradition being undefeated in two years and dominating the Second Division. Coaching takes on a new look this season with Mr. Nick Grabowski and Mr. Sandy Peters. They hope to take this team of tal- ented individuals and shape them into a uni- fied body of men which will carry on the win- ning tradition established here at Saint Al- phonsus. Winning — what it’s all about in Track and Cross Country. FRONT ROW: Dan Ciszewski, Brian Mick, Tom Luke, Phil Koda. SECOND ROW: Tom Cotter. Shawn Pierson, Rick Mascilak, Jim Provost, Tim Butler.

Through the efforts of Coach Pat Siesz- putowski, the team was in first place in 1972 until the closing days of the season, when they needed to win the last two out of three games to gain the league championship. Even though the team lost two out of three, the future outlook for the team in ’73 will be the best in a number of years. Mr. Sieszputowski is the main factor in the rebuilding of the team and its spirit. Along with him, eight out of the nine starting play- ers will be returning in ’73. Among them are seniors Gerry Trybus, Tony Kumor, Paul Crittenden, Jim Wittersheim, and Rich Galda. If you have not seen the team in action, a good time will be during the ’73 season, or better yet, at Tiger Stadium! Girls’ softball provides an opportunity for those girls endowed with agility to use it in an atmosphere of teamwork and competition. The girls work continuously in practice and have attained a place of recognition in their league. FRONT ROW: Janice Pierce, Catherine Crittenden, Dorothy Camilleri.

Cheerleaders Generate Spirit and Pride What’s a crowd at a game without cheer- leaders—an unorganized cheering section. But add a set of cheerleaders and you’ve added spirit, a sense of rhythm and organization. Cheerleaders seem to tie the entire group of spectators into one voice of encouragement to the team. Without them, the crowds stay individuals screaming at random. St. Al’s has Varsity and Junior Varsity Cheerleaders. They give their time to support the different teams in the school no matter where the games are played. Being a cheer- leader isn’t easy. It takes hours of long hard practice to perform the precision cheers as a unified group. The teams of the school agree that cheer- leaders are a necessary part of the athletic seasons. They consistently try to encourage the crowds to verbally support the teams and to be proud to drive their teams on to a vic- tory for St. Alphonsus. 54 BELOW: Patty Maguire and Marilyn Mylnek per- form a cheer to get more spirit in the crowd.

With a great number of teams in the school, there is always some meet or game to go watch. Anyone can see the spirit begin to mount, like the sun at daybreak, it grows stronger and stronger until it reaches the peak of excitement. But the spirit is not just con- fined to athletics. It carries on into such ac- tivities as Mardi Gras and Homecoming. Academics is also included in student life. There are the debate and forensic seasons. Students learn in an enjoyable way to demon- strate their speech talents. The drama classes display their acting abilities by presenting productions to the student body. It is easy to see that student life is everywhere. STUDENT LIFE Splendor of ‘Oz’ Enchants All Attending, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” the stu- dents found happiness at Homecoming ’72. At 8:30, the Honor Guard and their escorts were announced and they made their way down the Yellow Brick Road to their places of honor. Then, the Court of Michelle Baker, Mary Ann Ickes, Brenda Jannuzzi and Mary Alice LeDuc were escorted to their places on the stage. Then, an excited Mary Martinelli was escorted by Arrow co-captain Jim Stansik to her throne and was crowned Homecoming Queen by Coach Michael Colletta. The rest of the evening was danced away as the Leo Tallieu Quartet played. On Sunday at 1 p.m., the Homecoming Parade began its jaunt down Schaefer to Fordson field. The well-constructed floats, gaily decorated cars and Honor Guard cars followed the Queen and her Court’s float, which was built for them by the Senior boys. At 2:30 the Arrows took on the St. Florian Lancers and demolished them 20-0. At half- time, it was announced that the Sophomores were the winners of the float trophy. Home- coming 1972 proved to be a dream come true. ABOVE LEFT: Brenda Jannuzzi and Mike Gorman share a toast to add to the enchantment of the eve- ning.

On October 17, the class of ’73 was officially recognized by the rest of the student body as the Seniors and leaders of St. Alphonsus High School. This memorable day was Ring Day. Entering the church on Ring Day were 111 Seniors with a gown over their left arm. After the Senior class officers were invested by Sister Agnes Charles, the remainder of the class of ’73 was introduced to the student body as they were invested. Following Mass came the blessing of the rings. This ring will always hold special meaning for the Seniors because it denotes a sense of accomplishment — the completion of four years of learning. After the seriousness of the early morning, the Seniors hung their gowns up temporarily and went to enjoy the breakfast served by the Sophomores in their honor. A plaque bearing the first words of the Senior class motto, “Champion the right to be yourself . . .” was at each place setting and vases with brown and gold flowers, the class colors, decorated each table. Memories of the previous three years were read by Sophomores president Edward LeDuc. This day will always be a truly memorable one for the Seniors.

Even though the Juniors and Seniors had a powerful offensive and defensive line, the underclassmen managed to win. One of the highlights of powder puff was catching an impostor, Paul Crittenden, posing as a girl in one of the more crucial plays. Pam Salveta’s fantastic kickoffs added to the ex- citement of the game. The male cheerleaders showed their spirit throughout. It seems the powder puff game always comes on the coldest day of the year, but despite the inclement weather a large number of spectators showed up. Maybe next year the upperclassmen will come out victoriously. LEFT: Mary Alice LeDuc talks over a play with coach Tim Cox. FAR LEFT: Cathy Crittenden trys for an upperclassmen touchdown.

Old New Orleans Comes to St. Al’s After two weeks of frantic money making activities for the class King and Queen, the festive Mardi Gras finally arrives. The gym is transformed into a carnival palace in the fashion of New Orleans Mardi Gras Festival. You can relax and let the Juniors shine your shoes, win a goldfish from the Seniors, or try to beat the clock at the Sophomores’ booth. If you get hungry, fresh frosh french fries, bagels, soft drinks and pizza can be bought for a leisurely lunch— unless you are interrupted and get put in jail. The afternoon goes by quickly while you throw darts, get your picture taken, compete with our basketball stars, and send a tele- gram to a friend. In the evening, the Mardi Gras dance is held, with the highlight being the crowning of the King and Queen. The Seniors are vic- torious in the contest despite the efforts of the other classes. Hail King Ed and Queen Nancy. Mardi Gras is over, but next year the sun will rise on the festivities again.

FAR RIGHT: Greg Fronimos ponders a thought during a break from debating. Since the first formal intercollegiate debate in 1892, thousands of American high school students have participated in the challenging feat of debate. Here at St. Alphonsus students who take part in this mode of expression are taught how to do research for material they will use in debate, and how to think in a well organ- ized, logical and analytical way. The students are given opportunities during the year to put their training to use by debating with stu- dents from other schools in tournaments, league competitions and championship de- bates on the national topic. A favorite elective of St. Al’s upper class- men is Dramatic Arts. The students of the Drama Class put their training to use in a school presentation. This stage production gives them a chance to expose the talents learned in class for the benefit of the student body. It furthers the students’ knowledge and gives them a working idea of what acting is like in front of an audience. 68 Clubs Help Mold Student Potential The purpose of an organization is to form a co-ordinated group who will work together for common goals. To be effective, an organ- ization must be active. It must be involved in the school and must draw its members into student activities. Strong leadership with hard working and determined members is essen- tial for the success of any group. The life of an Arrow at St. Alphonsus is an intricate network, with academics, athle- tics and activities intermingling to hopefully produce a well rounded individual. Organiza- tions play an extremely vital role in develop- ing young people to their fullest potential. St. Alphonsus has numerous organizations that range from athletics to journalism. They help to lead the individual on to new and fascinat- ing horizons that will broaden their scope on life and people in the world. F '1 mm tv,v'S.v ' ; .■ i: ■ ORGANIZATIONS Student Council and NHS Promote Unity The members of the Student Council never yield when it comes to giving their time, energy and spirit to make their many events a success. This year the Student Council proved not only its school leadership, but its role in the parish as well. They sponsored a very success- ful chocolate sale in which the whole student body participated to help the parish. Their moderator Mr. Schlaff is always there to give support. The notable group of students is the Nation- al Honor Society, known for their qualities of outstanding leadership, scholarship, character and service. The NHS plays an important role in school leadership by sponsoring numer- ous cultural events, such as, Miss Hickey, the Eastern Michigan choral group, college de- bators and many others. The never ending spirit and determination of the outstanding leaders in our school pro- vides for better relations and greater partici- pation among the students. The Student Council and NHS strive to promote unity throughout the school and activate interest. 72 ABOVE: National Honor Society President Karl Overberg introduces the guest speaker for their pro- gram.

These organizations are the CLC (Christian Life Community) and the Mission Club. These clubs help boost the morale of the students by getting them in- volved in various activities and projects. In December the Mission Club is busily organizing food baskets to send to the poor. During the month of February you will find the CLC cheering up the aged in a nursing home. Among their other activities are stamp collecting, sending kool-aid to the servicemen in Vietnam, organizing special masses for the high school, and Christmas caroling. Through these two clubs the Christian spirit has been continuously generated in the stu- dents of Saint Alphonsus. 74 ABOVE: Reena Bala writes out plans for the CLC.

Athletic Organizations Supply Time, Effort The Varsity Club and GAA perform vital services for St. Alphonsus. Selling concessions at home games is one of the better known services that the Varsity Club performs. Sponsoring volleyball and bas- ketball intermurals, the faculty-varsity foot- ball game and the girls powder puff game are other activities that the club takes a part in organizing. Each of these activities puts the students and faculty in closer contact with the exciting world of sports. At these times the students get a chance to show their ability in a particular sport. Raising the flag in front of the school each morning is the traditional job of the Varsity Club president. Working together with the Varsity Club to promote athletic spirit in the school is the GAA. They help the Varsity Club perform many of the above activities as well as jointly sponsor a Mardi Gras booth. Without the efforts of these two athletic organizations, the spirit that prevails at St. Alphonsus would not be as great. 76 BELOW: Making a suggestion pertaining to Varsity Club plans is Glenn Harper.

It is a new club, with good officers and hard working members. The Pep Club has achieved its goals for the year—to push for the support of all teams in the school. Pep rallies were organized with the help of the cheerleaders and the popular Pep Jug contest was held. Throughout the year, the Pep Club maintained spirit through the school, even when the teams were down. But by the ac- tions of the Pep Club members, you know “We’re proud of our teams.” ABOVE: Anne Kumor puts up one of the many Pep Club spirit signs.

Their type of service is very different from one another but their main goals are the same: to better the atmosphere of the school. School Beautiful’s way of bettering the school is the proper care of the building and grounds. Through the members’ diligent help, they keep the school in tip-top shape. During Christmas, each homeroom door is beautifully decorated with high hopes of winning the an- nual door decorating contest. The Language Club, on the other hand, en- hances the school with the language each is taking in his class or by his own cultural back- ground. The best example of this is Interna- tional Week. Music from foreign lands fills the auditorium making one feel proud of what na- tionality he is. During Mardi Gras, their booth attracts many students. The student life and the school building benefit from the hard work that is shown through the efforts of the members in the Lan- guage Club and School Beautiful. 81 ABOVE: Nick Marshall and Debbie DeCeco package paste-ups to send to the yearbook company.

A lot of hard work goes into each page of the ’73 Arrow yearbook in order to make the memories of the students come alive in the years after high school. There are many steps to putting a yearbook together. Preparation steps include choosing the size and type of print, the color scheme and design for the cover, taking pictures and having a subscription drive and patron drive to gain the support of the students. After these steps, layouts must be drawn for each spread, pictures cropped and body copies written. The story of 1972-73 begins to un- fold in the ’73 Arrow. Finally, the book is com- pleted and shows the hard work and dedica- tion of the yearbook staff and the many as- pects of St. Alphonsus. Younger Students: A Unified Group Freshmen, innocent and wide-eyed, try to blend into the flow of high school life aided by the older students who offer elevator passes and high priced outdated books. Sophomores, a little wiser and a little more confident, turn their thoughts to biological dissections and the decision of eggs or pancakes for the Soph- omore-Senior Breakfast. Juniors, preparing to take the lead, feel experienced and grown up twirling the keys to dad’s car and carrying thick paperbacks for their English classes. As the Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors each strive to make their individual classes great and unified they are forming a great and unified body of themselves: the under- classmen. The success of one depends on the support of all. A bagel sale, dance or Mardi Gras booth will be prosperous only with the patronage and interest of the others. UNDERCLASSMEN Frosh Experience Freedom, Independence As the sun is setting on the Senior’s life at St. Alphonsus, it is just rising for the Fresh- men. In this new life, they experienced many new horizons with the promise of so many more to come. Some will await them with anticipation, others with despair. Freshman year was a new and wonderful beginning for the Class of ’76. During their first year here, they made many new acquaint- ances and learned to cope with new problems and joys. Most of the students found that high school life was a drastic change from grade school days. There is more independence and free- dom. They faced many responsibilities, and a lot more was expected from them. They also had to take the joking and teasing that came from the upperclassmen. All this was taken in stride by the Freshmen as they continued to grow and mature in knowledge, faith, and true Christian love. The Freshman’s life was crammed with ac- tivities during their first year at St. Al’s. Their first encounter with social life in high school came when they attended the Senior dance. As the year continued, they became more involved in the school through Christ- mas caroling, Mardi Gras, and the operetta. The Class of ’76 now looks anxiously for- ward to Sophomore year.

The Sophomores have passed the halfway mark of their high school years as underclass- men—now it’s on to bigger and better things as upperclassmen. It was an extremely active year for the class of 1975. As Sophomores they have accomplished many great things including capturing the coveted Homecoming float trophy. They also gave the traditional Sophomore-Senior Ring Day Breakfast in early October, chalking up another tremendous success for the class of ’75. Besides serving the Seniors a delicious breakfast, each Senior received a special me- mento of the day. In addition to this flurry of activity early in the school year, the class of ’75 had a Halloween party for all the ghosts and goblins of the Sophomore class. What would a school be without the antics of the silly Sophomores? As the year progressed the Sophomores realized that time passed all too quickly. They learned to endeavor and study hard for they knew that other horizons were just be- yond them. Before long a new day will dawn for them, filled with new and exciting things of the future.

Three Years of Experience Behind Them Three down, one to go! Three years chuck full of events, experiences, accomplishments, maturing and great discoveries all added up to prepare the Class of ’74 for their final year of high school. A year laden with leadership roles, responsibilities and happiness. “Stairway to Heaven,” the successful Jun- ior Dance was a product of careful planning, organization and hard work on the part of the entire class. Although their homecoming float did not win first place, it was another example of Junior pride. The class’ spirit and determination was reflected through their dis- play of unity in winning the Pep Jug Contest. Eagerly the Juniors looked ahead to Mardi Gras and the important decisions concerning class rings, the first tangible sign of their quickly approaching Senior year, a year that is sure to be the best one they have ever experienced.

Seniors ’73 Await A New Adventure September 1972 found the Class of 1973 in the sunset of its life at St. Al’s. This year, its members experienced such memorable events as “Over the Rainbow”, Ring Day, Mardi Gras, and “The Wizard of Oz.” All of these touched the lives of each Senior and the im- pression is there to stay. Now in June 1973, we see the sunset of a past era and look forward to the sunrise of a new and more exciting day when the Seniors will put their knowledge to good use. “What words of wisdom can we give you? How can we help to ease your way?” Now they must follow their own ethics and learn from one another day by day. The Class of 1973 was known for its leader- ship and undying spirit. It was a proud class. But now let us take a last look at those who were . . . Seniors ’73 . . . SENIORS Seniors ’73 Set Their Own Life Patterns The Seniors of 1973—full of new hopes, new responsibilities and eagerly anticipating dreams beyond our horizons. But how can it be? Wasn’t it just yesterday when we were .. . Freshmen. Although all four years of high school are exciting, Freshman year is perhaps the most. We entered St. Alphonsus 170 strong; full of new ideas and new faces. Our first endeavor at creativity was our Homecom- ing float. Do you remember it? “Locked up for the Knight.” We made our mark athletical- ly when our Frosh Basketball Team brought St. Alphonsus its first basketball trophy in many years. We struggled through Latin and Algebra and were always a vibrant force at various school activities. We gave the Seniors our gift, the dance, “Everybody is a Star.” But Freshman year flew all to swiftly into . . . Sophomore year. Sophomore year is thought by some to be a year of oblivion. You’re not a Freshman, but you’re not an upperclassman. But the Class of ’73 was noticed. Our presence was felt when we won the coveted Homecom- ing Float Trophy with our entry, “Rub-a-Dub Dub.” We honored the Seniors with a highly successful Sophomore-Senior Breakfast. It was hard to imagine that in just two short years we’d be the ones being honored. Our J.V. Basketball Team was first in their league with promises of better things to come. During the summer that separated the un- derclassmen from the upperclassmen, we were all brought closer together by the death of our classmate, Tim Raczynski. His death touched us all, but we came to realize that life is filled with both joys and sorrows. United together, Junior year proved to be one of anticipation. Again we won the float competition, our Varsity team won the Sec- ond Division Basketball Championship, we selected our class rings and eagerly awaited .. . Senior Year. Ah, Senior Year. This is the year when all the hopes and dreams of high school near completion. Senior Year. Home- coming preparations and football games. Sen- ior Year . . . the year of brown and gold and violets and baby’s breath. This year held memories that will linger forever. Mardi Gras and Prom. Our absolutely great Varsity Bas- ketball team, graduation with its joys and tears and hopes for a successful future. 112 HM Paul Crittenden President Anthony Kumor Mary Ann Ickes Michael Gorman Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Brenda Jannuzzi Delegate Susan Sochalski Delegate Gerard Trybus Delegate Richard York Delegate Thomas Cardelli Member-at-large Craig Hamilton Member-at-large ABOVE FAR LEFT: Jane Zawacki secures Gayle Vorpagel’s mortarboard before the Ring Day mass.

The production of a yearbook de- pends predominately upon its patrons. It is virtually impossible to cover the publication costs with the subscription drive alone. The success of a yearbook relies so much upon the success of the patron drive. This year, as in years before, the St. Alphonsus student body came through on the patron drive with flying colors. It means a great deal to the staff to know that the student body is behind them one hundred percent. The staff then must turn its efforts toward the book and work one hundred percent for its success. It is hard to say thank you to everyone who supported the endeavors of the yearbook. The best way the staff can show its immense gratitude is to publish the best yearbook St. Alphonsus has ever had.

The Yearbook is finally done. No more staying after school until 5:00 even when we have afternoons free; no more deadlines, body copies or even last minute headlines. But the ’73 Arrow couldn t have become a reality without the help of many people. It is really difficult for me to sort out the names of those who helped make this book a success. First of all I would like to thank Mr. Vel, who directed the summer journalism school. Amid scavenger hunts and “Mad Libs,” staff members learned the workings of a yearbook. Mr. Russ Whitehead of Modem Yearbook also was especially helpful when it came to choosing type and cover colors. A special thanks goes to Mr. Frank Ortman of Craine’s Studio who always promptly deliv- ered our orders. There aren’t enough ways to thank the greatest Yearbook Advisor, Mrs. Mellon. She was always here to keep us going, helping with Patron layouts and paste-ups. Our pho- tographers were super when it came to taking five rolls of film at a basketball game. A spe- cial thanks goes to our efficient business staff who organized the finances of the Yearbook. Last but certainly not least, I would like to thank the staff of the ’73 Arrow.

It is up to us to make the most of what we have. Helen Keller expressed this idea so simply and yet completely. “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” The year has come to a close. It has sig- naled the end to many things, yet somehow we should consider it a brand new beginning. If we have really lived and participated in life then there should be many new dreams beyond us. There should be a new horizon or a new sun beckoning us to new challenges. Looking back on our high school life we see memories of a life past, but now it is more important to look forward to what can be accomplished. The school years at St. Alphonsus serve as building blocks for us physically, spiritual- ly and emotionally. If we have made the year 1973 a true adventure, we should be full of new wisdom and experience that we are will- ing to share with those we encounter. Each new year as well as each new day should beckon us to embark on new adventures that will hopefully fulfill our fondest dreams. t
