I Swknt 'Jimtfkction, l)Mf Now that’s what I call a good retreat! This was one of the many remarks made by the students expressing complete satisfaction with the retreat given this year by Father Adrian Fuerst, O.S.B., at St. Jude’s Guest House in St. Meinrad. Father’s vast experience and his engaging manner of speaking made this retreat quite a memorable one for the Juniors and the Seniors. The boys made their retreat on May 3; the girls on May 4. The retreat for the underclassmen, held within the school, was given this year by Father Lawrence. Private spiritual reading, talks by Father Lawrence, and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass constituted most of the program for the day. The students also gathered around the Fatima Shrine on the campus to pray the rosary.

Crystal-ball gazer, Delbert Weyer, and Doctor Mike Schuch were the stars of the Sophomore's pep assembly in which they gave two skits entitled The Happy Medium and Casual Casualty. As can be seen in the pictures, the crystal-ball gazer was not very suc- cessful in receiving messages from beyond; and the casualty was quite casual. In fact, the fish in the fish bowl were not very cooperative in sending out inspired messages. . I In lieu of the scheduled basketball pep as- sembly, the Juniors changed the tone of their assembly by offering a lovely Christ- mas program to the student body. The ex- planation of the various Christmas symbols through choral recitations, coupled with caroling at the manger, was a fitting com- mencement of the Christmas holidays. The audience was surprised to find so many lovely solo voices among the Junior carolers.

%mkMm ud KikJm Sta. Whenever you want him he's there! This is one of the many complimentary remarks made concerning our maintenance man, Mr. Linus Wendholt. This ever-faithful janitor is always the first to come in thfe morning and the last to leave in the evening. Because of his untiring efforts the students always find the classrooms awaiting them neat and clean in the mor- nings. Not only does Mr. Wendholt tackle the dust and de- bris found within the school, but he also extends his magic touch to the surrounding campus where he gives the grass and weeds some serious competition. As must be evident by now, the student'body of S. F. H. S. considers Mr. Wendholt indis- pensable, and on behalf of them the Crusader staff expresses its sincere appreciation with a hearty Thanks! Mrs. Urban Lueken, Mrs. Gervase Berg, and Mrs. Hubert Berg are the components of what the student body of S.F. H. S. thinks is the grandest cooking team in the U.S. Mrs. Gervase Berg is a newcomer to the kitchen of S.F.H.S. this year, whereas Mrs. Urban Lueken and Mrs. Hubert Berg are our old stand-bys. To them also we express our sincere gratitude. 23
