Our maintenance man, better known as Alvie , was always busy behind the scenes to keep the school neat and clean and in good running order. All the Scotus students would agree that lunch hour was the best time of the entire school day. The cafeteria ladies spent hours every day to prepare our tasty meals. The result of their efforts was a happy and also a well nourished, healthy student body. They smile as they work.

SPONSORED BY NIELSEN CHEVROLET - BUICK COMPANY 25 Seniors and Juniors Dare to Be Different and Enjoy an Informal Prom-Banquet The seniors and juniors decided to forego the traditional formal prom this year and to have an informal banquet and dance instead. Many hours of decorating were curtailed but the time of planning and pre- paring the food was worth the time. Everyone enjoyed the turkey dinner with all the trimmings which the seniors' mothers prepared. The sophomore boys and girls who waited tables, also, appreciated the invitation to join the dance later. They liked the informality of the evening. Music was furnished by the Elastic Band for the informal dance which followed the dinner. This was the seniors' last social school activity and all agreed that the evening was a highlight of the year's social events. 26 on Ns C o 03 3 28 CHORUS: . «C Today while thgflpssoms.

There are no strangers in the world, Only friends you have yet to meet. Graduation is a potpourri of emotions--sad- ness, joy, relief, sorrow, insecurity, free- dom. And to the Class of 1973 it meant a time for change. Once outside of their sheltered high school life, they faced a world waiting for them to respond with involvement. 29 Senior Class President, Ken Schrad, (RIGHT), tells the Graduates that change has influenced every life and will always do so. Accept problems and bring about change. People will adjust to problems but problems will not adjust to them he said.

Funds for the new trophy case were raised by means of a special basketball game pitting the Faculty against the Intramural All-Stars. The game was hotly contested as both teams showed amazing skills with the ball. However, due to several contro- versial calls and few lapses of the rules, the outcome may never be really decided. So, just to keep the statistics straight, we will give you the opportunity to pick the winner. LEFT: Father Meyer, Sponsor, and S Club Officers, G. Liss, F. Schwank, and T.

Mrs. Alberta Peck (LEFT), Sponsor of the society, re- viewed these standards before she presented the nom- inees for provisional membership in the society. Pic- tured with her, on stage, are these provisional members, underclassmen who must meet the society's standard before being admitted to full membership. Standing below stage are the seniors who maintained the required standards and were admitted to permanent membership in the National Honor Society on May 1. They are (LEFT TO RIGHT), Jennifer Jasper, Loretta Feehan, Adelaide Haney, Mary McNair, Kim Robak, Susi Heimann, Steven Niedbalski, Jim Holmberg, Kathy Kopetzky. What's New? The Scoti sties Staff worked hard to make their paper a factual account- ing of the school happenings as well as an intellectual and humorous source of entertainment. Staff mem- bers were juniors and seniors. The juniors prepared the April issue so that they could experience the involvement required for planning the newspaper. Each issue of the paper included feature articles, news items, a sports page, and a question of the month. The last issue was a senior special and contained the senior's Will, Seniors remember. Miss Zenk (RIGHT) Scotistics adviser, and editors Kim Robak and Susie Heimann, prepare the dummy. The entire Scotistics staff is pictured below. Academics My dear friends in Jesus, We have spent another year together as a Community of Faith around the Person of Jesus. Hopefully, most of us have caught and have been taught deeper faith in Jesus. People throughout the world are looking for Jesus. I hope a few from their midst found Him in us. I hope that our community was a witness to the living reality tliat Jesus has Risen, that He is Alive, and that He has been and is in our midst. A Community of Faith demands interrelationships, it demands support of one another, it demands com- munication, it demands prayer and study, and most of all, it demands that Jesus be our strength, our heart, and our purpose in life. To our graduates and others that might be leaving us, I say go forth and build other Communities of Faith around the Person of Jesus. To those students and employees who are returning, I say, let us double our efforts to become a Community of Faith around the Person of Jesus. Yours around Jesus, Father Emmett Meyer 74 Efficiency and Awareness of Student Problems Characterize Administration Mr. Edward Hittner came to Scotus this year as the first lay principal of the school which had a Sister Principal during its long history since 1884, when it be- came St. Francis Academy until 1925 when the parish bought it and named it St. Bonaventure. That name it kept until 1965 when it became Scotus Central Catholic and became a centralized school. Mr. Hittner possesses a friendly smile, a firm disciplinary hand, and an administrative authority which assures our school of a successful operation. He has involved himself in many of our activities and showed his concern in our advancement and growth. He sent the following message to the Scotus Annual. As we look back over the past school year we can see that the many activities, the busy days and the last minute preparations all contributed to making this a successful and fast moving year. Directly related to this success is the number of participants and the enthusiasm they expressed for school activities. To tlie graduates now entering an adult society, which is quite worldly, I would encourage you to keep up this participation and enthusiasm and to direct it toward good Christian Ideals. 7 j r SPONSORED BY 75 GENERAL TELEPHONE CO. OF THE MIDWEST Others Catch Living Faith These busy pastors took time to meet with students in the junior and senior high classes. Christian principles are lived rather than taught and the daily contact with each other is the testing ground for all religious principles. Catholic faith lived is Catholic faith as Christ would teach it to us. (RIGHT CENTER) is shown Father Laurin pastor of St. Anthony Parish in Columbus. (RIGHT) is Father Regis Watts, pastor of St. Bonaventure parish. (BELOW) Father John Rizzo, pastor of St. Rose of Lima parish, Genoa. (CENTER BOTTOM) is Father Starostka, pastor of St. Joseph parish, Platte Center. They are our spiritual teachers and guides. Both the pastor and his Asso- ciate pastor from St. Isidore's parish are on the faculty at Scotus. Father Francis Price, (LEFT), pastor, teaches fresh- man religion. Father Jerome Spenner, (ABOVE) is Religion Co-ordinator, has been in- volved in the Search Program and pursues a hobby in photog- raphy. The Scotus Annual is indebted to him for a large number of fine candids in the book which only the Scotus Eye caught. Students feel free to use his office for preparing the Mass liturgies, to assist him in developing film, or just for a moment of recreation. SPONSORED BY 77 LANDCREN'S STUDIO Mrs. Kudron (ABOVE), an alumnus of St. Bonaventure High, has served her Alma Mater as Father Meyer's secretary. She handled tuition payments, school fees, and class treasuries. She also acted as secretary at the meetings of the Scotus Central Catholic Board of Directors. If there was a problem of scheduling, there was always help to be found at the desk of Mrs. Keating (LEFT in the center above picture with Mrs. Jochum). She was the mediator between tardy students and the teacher. Those blue slips that she issued were tickets to a class. Students sat on the edge of their seats waiting for her to announce their turn to go to cafeteria. Mrs. Jochum has as- sisted in the office for the past two years. She has charge of the book- store, takes care of the audio-visual equipment, and is active in many of the students activities. 78 Friends and Books Inspire The library is always an active but quiet place. Our librarians, Miss Zenk (CENTER BOTTOM, LEFT, and Miss Hadcock (RIGHT), take inventory of the supplies and keep the shelves stocked with a variety of the newest books and needed resources. We always found them ready to give good direction for the best use of library ma- terials there. Mr. Heth (BELOW), school guidance counselor, is caught in a familiar session. A scene like this is common during the school year as seniors seek his advice about college or career choices. Mr. Heth was also involved in the co-ordination of the Vegas Night Raffle Ticket sales for the support and financing of the Scotus High School. He was senior sponsor, assistant football and track coach, and taught a typing class. Besides her duties as librarian, Miss Zenk was the adviser for the Scotistics, school paper.

Formaldehyde permeated the lab section and students knew where he could be found. He was athletic director which kept him busy for all seasons. Sister Claudia, new math and science teacher, taught Physics, Advanced Algebra, Senior Math and Geom- etry. She was freshman homeroom sponsor and was involved in the Search program started this year. Students followed her lead in the singing at daily Mass. 80 They Discover New Wonders Mr. Shaw, new science teacher at Scotus, taught Chemistry and Earth Science in senior high and also science in junior high. He was sponsor of the Scotus Science Club that sponsors the Science Fair annually. Besides these classroom duties, he coached the junior high track team. He is pictured at left. Mr. Brtek (BELOW), Math teacher and junior homeroom sponsor, jogged many miles with the Cross Country team. As Coach of the junior varsity basketball, and later, girls' track he had a lot of help from his new wife. Home Ec girls learned the rewards of pre- paring new dishes from Mrs. Ekeler. Enticing aromas led others to the Home Ec room. Their fashion creations also showed talent and good selection of style and fabrics. COLUMBUS BANK G TRUST 81 Media of Communication Sister Stephanie (RIGHT), was presented the Outstanding Young Educator Award this year by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Sister is an English teacher, a junior homeroom sponsor, and has been active in co-ordinating the CCD program in St. Bonaventur's. Congratulations!

Sister shares her experiences in Spain by showing her colored slides, maps, and other collections as she talks. She spent five weeks in Spain. Mrs. Peck (RIGHT), admires the azalea which the seniors presented her on her return from the hospital. She made a two weeks tour of England this winter and found the experience broadening for her understanding of English literature, her field. Mrs. Peck also sponsors the National Honor Society and senior homeroom. l Avtfbaa 82 Self-Expression in Art-Music-Drama Miss Kiser (CENTER TOP), Art and German teacher, shows Lori how to create things of beauty in the art class. Language is another way of expressing one self. As Girls' Volley- ball Coach, Miss Kiser earned the green letter jacket she sported around town. She also assisted in coaching the Girls track.
