Dunn Mindful of their support of school improvement and of the active part they have played in the lives of many students, the EXCELSIOR staff dedicates the 1964 Yearbook to Mr. and Mrs. Robert P. Dunn. Robert and Marie Dunn have devoted their time and energies to the guidance of adolescents through the work of the PTA, Farm Bureau and other civic or- ganizations. As we pause on the threshold of adulthood, we recall illustrious ex- amples given to us by the Dunns in order to aid each of us in the fulfillment of our duties as Americans. Thus it is with sincere gratitude and appreciation that we dedicate this book to two persons who have accepted the responsibilities of safeguarding Our American Heritage. Mr. and Mrs. Dunn discuss the content of a newspaper article which stimulates their mutual inte rests. In combating communism they often refer to the newspapers to seek statistics. Various activities demand much of Marie Dunn ' s time but she is always able to spend much time with her four children. Kelly finds help with her homework while Bridy relates the exciting adventures of a child ' s world. Taking time out from his busy schedule, Mr. Dunn finds relaxation and enjoyment in caring for horses. In Memoriam President John F. Kennedy A man was slain and the world was plunged into mourning. The man— John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States. Death came suddenly, at 1:00 p.m. on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. President Kennedy died like a soldier, under fire, for his duty and in the service of his country. Speaking to the Catholic Youth of the nation on November 15, 1963, the President told the teen- agers he had come to see them .... not because you are doing well, not just because you ' re out- standing students, but because we expect something from you. In his inaugural address, he made it clear that he expected something from each American citizen. On this occasion he spoke his most famous words, . . . . my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. Intelligence was the keynote of Mr. Kennedy ' s presidency, and with it came a style, flair and excitement, new and different to the White House. He left us a high personal example of intelligence and grace in action. President John F. Kennedy had personal distinction, and his country and the world are the richer for it.

Father Student Life Nazareth Academy and St. Joseph are the centers of many student activities. The external beauty of our schools is apparent to anyone, but that alone does not account for the pride and school spirit of the students. Here we learn together, and have fun together. Visible only to us, the internal features — daily prayers spirited sports events .... and graduation are the sources of the internal love the students feel for their schools. As the essence of our youth, they will serve as the basis for never - to - be - forgotten memories. AS INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS WE EXPERIENCE. A Spirit of Competition An Impulse to Friendship A Quest for Adventure A Devotion to Country A Hunger for Education 11 A Spirit of Cooperation A Love of Fun A Trust in God 13 His Holiness, Pope Paul VI To one experiencing the Second Vatican Council, it seems quite clear that the exuberance and liveliness so manifest at the very beginning, in 1962, has some- what tapered off. In the first session there was a feeling that a great amount of work has been done, even though not even one schema was finished. As the session closed, one had the conviction that a great deed, a great event, had taken place. Following the example of his predecessor Pope John XXIII, Pope Paul VI reconvened the Ecumenical Council in September 1963. The central issue of this session was the discussion about the Church herself This discussion was the answer to Pope Paul ' s appeal in his opening address. He said: The examination of the Church will be the principal concern of this second session of the Ecumenical Council. Therefore, the intimate nature of the Church should be thoroughly examined and expressed in the best possible human language so that the Church ' s true and primary nature will be revealed and her many salvific works be mani- fested. Everyone is deeply aware of the fundamentally spirit- ual fact of this gathering and equally aware that nothing can or will be accomplished without the presence of the Holy Spirit in the Fathers of the Coun- cil, in all the members of the Church and throughout the world.

Enthusiastic Parish Priests Teaching the sophomore class religion proves to be an enjoyable experience for Father Stiles. Through their zealous efforts, Rt. Rev. Msgr. F. O. Beck, Rev. Wallis Stiles, and Rev. Patrick Fidgeon strive to increase the spiritual life of Nazareth Academy and Saint Joseph students. By providing the students with the opportunity of going to daily Mass and Communion, and weekly inspiring them by priestly commentaries on the mysteries of the Catholic religion, the priests help draw all students closer to their heavenly Father. With the inborn zeal of missionaries, Rev. Richard Toal, Rev. Vincent Patrizi, and Rev. Emiliano Gruzuraga tackle the mission of the Lord in the performance of the Mass and administration of the sacraments at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church. By daily inspiration, these devoted men endeavor to fulfill Christ ' s command of Go ye therefore and teach all nations. Being a spiritual guide is a job which calls for many types of work as Father Richard Toal well knows. Guide Our Spiritual Lives Father Vincent, Youth Club moderator, spends the majority of his time making arrangements for club activities. Father Emiliano Gruzuraga takes time out from his spiritual reading to pose for the photographer 19 Father Alois Goertz, pastor, and his assistant, Father Joseph Coll, per- form their duties as spiritual guides for the students of Nazareth Academy and St. Joseph High School along with their regular parish work. Operating from their home parish. Our Lady of Lourdes, these two priests serve the religious needs of the people of Victoria, bringing God ' s grace to young and old alike. Their devotion, charity, and per- severance influence many to follow a rewarding Catholic plan of life. Father Alois Goertr, pastor at Our Lady of Lourdes, busily balances the parish finances. Active Parishes Need Good Father Joseph Coll toils at his desk to pre- pare his Sunday sermon. 20 Father Eustace A. Hermes, pastor, and his two assistants. Father Eugene OCallaghan and Father Peter McDonagh, offer the myriad benefits to the young Catholics of northern Victoria. When speaking from the pulpit in the beauti- ful church of Our Lady of Victory or when working with various parish organizations, they inspire devotion for Our Lord and re- spect for His Holy Church. On other occasions they are available in their offices for pri- vate counseling and guidance. Father Eustace A Hermes diligently performs his pastoral duties in his office at Our Lady of Victory. Leadership Father Eugene O ' CaJlaghan, assistant pastor and Youth Club moderator at Our Lady of Victory, gathers ma- terial from his file cabinet. Father Peter McDonagh finds time in his busy schedule to pray his daily office. 21 This year Brother William Callahan, S.M. com- pletes his sixth and final year as principal at Saint Joseph High School. He will always be remem- bered by the students as a kindly and efficient administrator. In addition to his administra tive chores. Brother William taught an Algebra I class in 1964. Brother Michael Brangan, S.M., vice-principal is a new face around the halls at Saint Joseph. In his first year he served as Guidance Director, Senior Guidance Co-ordinator and Student Coun- cil Moderator. He also taught English III and American History while serving as homeroom moderator for Senior B. As Chaplain, Reverend Clement Otting, S.M., has been a mainstay at Saint Joseph for the past sixteen years. This year he was also Senior A moderator, taught English IV, Sociology and 8A English, and moderated the Saint Vincent de Paul Society and the Senior Sodality. Bro William Callahan, S.M.

Else our lives are incoinplete. Standing in these walls of Time, Broken stairways, where the feet Stumble as they seek to climb. Build to-day, then, strong and sure, With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure Shall to-morrow find its place. — Longfellow li .. ■ ' ' ' ' V. lull „( The Angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she was to be the Mother of God, explains Shirley Kruppa, senior CCD teacher, to first graders, Jimmy Jurica and Theresa Migl, through the use of a pictorial chart. To Jesus Through Mary, ' the theme of the senior religion course, inspires Carol Koehl to pause a moment in prayerful meditation at the Blessed Mother statue in the hallway of NA. Inspiring Ideals of Truth and All of the ideals of Christian life and love are expressed and summarized in the words ol Sacred Scripture. In all religion classes at Nazareth, the Bible is thoroughly studied by the girls. Advent time is a time for reflection and reading. Francey Sandhofer and Linda Sparkman take advantage of the high school library and the books available to the students. 34 M Classroom studies in religion can expound the doctrines of faith, explain theology, or discuss the morality of an act; but classroom study alone is incomplete. Since the crux of all the Church ' s teachings is the Holy Mass, it is only appropriate that the students should be found gathered near the altar ot God, to witness the supreme Sacrifice and to receive the spotless Gift. Above, Fr. Fidgeon distributes Communion to Lupe Cano, Randy Carville, Ricky Byars and Ronald Zarbock, while Clarence Parkan holds the paten. Knowledge Have Their Roots in Religion The primary function of a Catholic school is to define and explain Catholic doctrine to all the students and to promote their spiritual development. For this reason, devoted participa- tion in religious classes and activities is essential to students who strive towards spiritual maturity. As their years of high school progress, they learn to appreciate their religion anew through the creative Love of God the Father, the redeeming Love of God the Son, and the Sanctifying Love of God the Holy Spirit. Thus striving for that eternal commencement which awaits them all, they receive the incentive to carry the torch of Catholicism to the far corners of their worlds, even if it extends no farther than to their families and friends. Richard Busbee finds that the school library has a wealth of useful infor- mation on religious subjects. 35 English Courses Words are words, a means of communication, until a writer ' s magic touches them and trans- forms the staid to the fantastic, the tame to the capricious, the dull to the imaginary. Only the wand of the writer can build a world completely insoluble throughout the years ' turmoil. As the students delve into the mys- teries of Shakespeare and Chaucer, they learn not only the words of literature, but the words to live by. Visual aids are a tremendous help in the process of learning. In the fresh- man English class, Carolyn Huvar and Evelyn Motal put this practice to use in showing a literature filmstrip. Class projects are a treat and a treatment tor the English IV students of Sister Gabriel. Acting out a morality play, Adam and Eve, in connection with the study of drama, are Brooke Hamel, Dianne Roberts, and Barbara Pribyl. Props and costumes are used for more emphasis. Encourages Appreciation and Communication Diagramming sentences helps students to visualize difficult sentence constructions. Above, Bro. Thomas explains the use of the prepositional phrase. Fr. Otting lectures on the topic, The Church and State - The Two Perfect Societies, during Sociology class. On rwo Mondays of every month, the students divide into small discussion groups in their individual classrooms for Guidance Period. Such student consultations afford them the opportunity to express their common problems and seek a correct solution. This discussion group, moderated by Bro. John, is considering the effect of part time jobs on school work. T Jots [ ' - ' J 4Jl)p. , Science Labeling a dissected worm helps this biology student learn the different organisms. Vivian Soliz accurately measures the correct amount of barium chloride in order to find the amount of water of hydration. At times, a high school science course may be- come explosive, bloody, smoky, smelly, shocking or hilarious — but no matter what earth-shaking theories may be formulated, science class will never be boring. Toward the end of the school year, ask any biology or chemistry scholar if he has enjoyed his science class. Invariably, he will answer by re- lating several of his fondest memories, such as the day he rocked the chemistry class with a smoky explosion of paradichlorobenzene, or the time he broke a half-gallon bottle ot tormalda- hyde during a biology lab period. Ah yes! These are times that try men ' s souls, but such excursions into the scientific realm must be chalked-up simply as experience gained and memories never-to-be-forgotten. Biology students, Nancy Jean Baass and Mary Jane Carter work in- dustriously during biology class with the bioscope. To make certain that her experiment is successful, Carolyn Hammack carefully measures the chemicals. 2?«3Ar Students Progress with Nation The take-apart man is receiving a thor- ough physical examination from Biology instructor Brother John McCarthy and Bob Murphy, Brother Robert Weissert lectures to the Chemistry students to prepare them for an experiment which will illustrate the inert qualities of second row elements. 39 Students Ponder Over, Mathematics, one of the oldest sciences, is one of the most vital and active today; probably more mathe- matical discoveries have been made since 1875 than in all the years before then. Due to the rapid advances made in the scientific relm during the past few decades, math has assumed inestimable importance in mans ' boundless quest for truth. No longer is the mathe- matician disvalued as a social outcast who must be locked up in an ivory tower to concentrate his foremost efforts on his numerical mania. Now that the mathematics field has come into its own, many of our best minds will devote their lives to pushing back the still unexplored frontiers of math. Brother Robert Weissert points out to Jim Hunt an easier method of approach in solving an Algebra II problem, while Tom Kallus, Hal Redmon, Ricky Byars, Eddie Dischinger and Tim Edwards compare their solutions. 40 Solve Mathematical Problems Working Square root, cube root, multiplication, and division problems on the slide rule comes naturally to Algebra II student, Jeanette Frazier. Algebra students realize that math requires much extra study and concentrated effort. Using her knowledge of Geometry and reason, Dianne Roberts solves the Pythagorean Theorem. Geometry stu- dents learn to develop and apply common sense in solving geometric problems. Brooke Hamel uses the compass and straight edge to solve a construction problem. Materials such as the compass, ruler, and straight edge are necessary in solving difficult problems. in . , 1 41 Each year the Spanish II class initiates the Spanish 1 class by giving them duties to perform and afterwards giving a party at which enter- tainment is provided by the freshmen. This usually consists of a skit or the reciting ot putms, Evelyn Guillen, Donna Eoytek, and Theresa Buxkemper seem to be preparing for this eventful day by practicing for a skit of their own. A Study of Various Languages Promotes The fundamentals of Greek mythology play an important part in the study of Latin I. Martha Jordan and Mary Ann Pribyl realize this necessity. Doris Schilhab, freshman Latin student, is presented with a certificate of merit for her honorable achievements in the study of Latin 1 by sophomore Latin student, Becky Massey 42 I P..,...,.,:. _ M 1 f- -- wfk J- %t. V • - - ' L dvili L Communication of ideas is essential to the well- being of the world and thus students study ancient and present day cultures of various countries. With avid interest, students delve into the civil- izations of ancient Rome and modern Spain for the answers to the world ' s riddles. Cautiously experimenting with the newness of foreign tongues, they represent the union of the past with the present, and the present with the future, in a melting pot of cultures. Latin IV student Brickley George (right) gives a pointer to Latin II student Dan Hebner. Brickley, along with Charles Stevenson and Kirk Jordan, is taking Latin IV by correspondence. Harmony and Understanding Among Peoples Audio and visual aids can make foreign language studies easy. Occasionally, Spanish II stu- dents are treated to a movie in Spanish. This diligent foreign language student. Tommy Post, seizes every opportunity to practice with the tape recorder. 43 Studying World Affairs Americas future, in fact, the future of the whole world depends on the ability of today ' s young people to provide responsible leadership in tomorrow ' s world. A solid founda- tion in the social sciences helps young students to gain an insight into contemporaneous problems and their possible solutions. Sociology transcends the problem on the surface to scrutinize the underlying moral aspect of world ' s difficulties. The study of govern- ment and the Constitution re- flects upon our methods of handling international and national dealings. In an American Problems course, national issues are studied, dis- cussed, and debated. These studies inform the students of under- currents and conflicts in the political and social world, so that armed with the shield of knowl- edge, they may form intelligent opinions based on reason and Chris- tian principles. Charles Koaba, left, and Jim Hunt examine a replica of the Declaration of Independence which was donated to St. Joseph by the Victoria Exchange Club Brother Lawrence Buxkemper is pointing out the mouth ol the Niger River and explaining to Tim Miori its importance to Africa. However, Tim, who has spotted the camera, has decided to expose his better side. American Problems student Jim Traber sums up the affirmative stand in a debate of the question. Should the Communist Party in the U.S. be outlawed? Others in the debate are, left to right, Kirk Jordan, Richard Busbee, Randy Carville, Brother Jim Huskey, Darryl Stefka and Richard Mulligan. 44 Influences Citizens of Tomorrow One Nacion Under God, was the theme of the Nazareth Academy History Club ' s first float in the annual Veterans ' Day Parade. The formation of the American tlag with the eagle resting upon it symbolizes the bond of friendship existing between nations. The Civic Citizens Club has actively participated in civic affairs. In her American History studies, Brenda Jackson often refers to the globe in preparing lessons. History students do frequent research in order to fully understand the how and why of historical events. Carolyn ShiUer, Dianne Roberts, and Brooke Hamel trace the course of a bill as it passes through the House of Representatives. The seniors take Civics after mid-semester. 45 Practical Courses in Business and Homemaking The adding machine proves to be helpful to Elaine Strelzyk in her business course. In this course Seniors prepare for the future by learning the tundamentals of business. a, s, d, f, and j, k, 1,;. This is a famihar sequence of letters to the Junior typists.

The ability to type quickly and accurately increases a persons efficiency, neatness, and grades while still in school and his earn- ing power in later life Whether or not a boy is considering a career in a field of the com- mercial arts, he will find that a working knowledge of blueprints and drawings can be helpful. Many hobbies, for example, require at least a workable knowledge of draftsmanship. Above, Clarence Parkan displays his artistic ability during mechanical drawing class as he constructs a simple mission chapel on the drawing board. 47 Youth Strive for Physical Fitness According Practice makes perfect. Hoping to make the varsity football team, these B team athletes participate in a vigorous game. Calisthenics are a major part of the Physi- cal Education program at NA. This exercise session seems to find most of the students a bit uncoordinated. Get that ball cries a teammate as her partner reaches high to make game pomt The various classes compete in intramural sports. 48 to JFK s Program The late President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, frequently urged the constant vigilance of today ' s youth in the practice of physical education. Following the example of this great leader and friend, the students fervently sustain a system of physical stability through the daily classes of physical education. They keep the thought of physical fitness in connection with mental fitness uppermost in their minds. They prove that youth to- day are as healthy as the youth of yester- day and even more so. Muscles strain as these two boys exert their strength while wrestling. This practiced art helps the boys to acquire mental agility and physical prowess. Tony Kouba and Robert Wearden take advantage of their P.E. period by building up their muscles. Robert appears to find the exercises strenuous while Tony thoroughly enjoys the chin ups. 49 Youth Gives Service. With this thought high in the minds of ' .OOO youth, the 1963 National CYO Convention convened on November 14 in New York City at the Hil- ton Hotel. Fourteen delegates from Victoria were among those in attendance repre- senting the nation. A highlight of the Convention was the elec- tion of Barbara Pribyl, senior at Nazareth Academy, to the office of National CYO Secretary. Heading her campaign strategy was Charles Stevenson, President of the Victoria Deanery Council of Catholic Youth. Victory came on the third secre- tarial ballot. Barbara will retain this position for two years. The late President John F. Kennedy addres- sed the youth of the nation on Friday, November 15, in the Grand Ballroom of the New York Hilton. Mr. Kennedy stres- sed the importance of the role of the Catholic youth in the future of the nation. Upon their arrival in Victoria, the group was greeted by a large delegation headed by Victoria ' s Mayor Kemper Williams Jr. Barbara Pribyl Nazareth and St. Joseph Students DELEGATES - FRONT ROW: Dianne Roberts, Madeline Murphy, Brooke Hamel, Barbara Pribyl, Cynthia La2arin,Judy Trevino, Patsy Juarez, and Janie Rincon BACK ROW: Rev.

Class of ' 64 Pause at the Crossroads of Life Waiting on six boys at one time is quite a task! exclaims Michelle Kenney as Arthur Meitzen, W.J. Sparks, Mike Shelton, Alan Obsta, Richard Busbee, and Randy Carville enjoy the attention Nazareth Sponsors Italian Exchange Student With such emphasis placed on common languages and unified nations, Nazareth Academy went a step further by sponsoring an Italian exchange student for the 1963-64 school term. Only through the untiring efforts of the previous year ' s Student Council led by Bette Stockbauer, was this made possible. Arriving in Houston from Milan, Italy, Gabriella Colombo was welcomed by her American family, the Howard Hensleys. The first day of school proved to be a new and exciting ex- perience for Gabriella, since the schools in America are some- what different from those in Italy. As the school year progressed, the students of Nazareth Academy learned more about Italy, while in turn Gabriella became accustomed to the American way of life. As a member of Student Council, Gabriella learned about student government in the schools of the United States. The students have found Gabby to be a quiet, friendly girl with a pleasing personality, always ready to do her part in school projects and activities. Gabriella Colombo One ol the main purposes of Gabriella ' s stay in America is to observe the study habits. Judy Hensley en|oys teaching Gabriella how to prepare a new American dish. ftl l l I  mm ■ lt ' .mI IKj l H 1  l? ' «•. Jiff ' ' si -■■Ml «i« .ill|«|? IBlllBfH Jf fill Activities gift of God!

Brooke Hamel ' s checrtui face greeted each freshman as she made her final stop in the Spook House. Seniors Treat Fish to Western Initiation It is certainly unusual and unlikely, but from the expression on Jackie Gilley ' s face, one would imagine that she is enjoying her appointment at the beauty salon. Surely she couldn ' t be enjoying it as much as senior Gale Fossati. On the fateful night of Friday, September 13, the freshmen were treated to a once-in-a-lifetime- experience by the seniors of ' 64. The occasion was the unforget- table Western Initiation. Beginning with the impartial trials presided over by Judge Roy Bean, alias Helen Broderick, the fish were all found guilty of unpardonable crimes. As a fitting punishment, they were conducted through a series of gruesome adventures. Each fish spent a session in the beauty shop, followed by a swift trip through the barrage of horrors in the spook house, and climaxed by a brief but horrible glimpse of a reincarnated mummy, portrayed by Brooke Hamel.

The traditional Flyer parade and bonfire were held on Wednesday, October 23, 196. . The afternoon parade was an ex- citing event with competition between all of the class-sponsored cars and floats. It followed the regular parade route through town and in front of the convent, where the judges appraised the various entries. In the evening, spirited fans gathered at Saint Joseph ' s field for the rousing pep rally and bonfire. Queen candidates, Diane Roberts, Nancy Tol- bert, and Judy Patton, were announced and the football captains gave brief impromptu speeches. Then the activities were climaxed when the Ranger dummy was tlung into the raging flames. Parade and Bonfire Highlight Drum Maior, Lupe Roblcs, directs the Flyer Band in a precision drill as they climax their performance in the Home coming parade. Charles Stevenson ' s little car, through many hours oi hard work, was majestically changed into an airplane to honor the Flyers in the parade. Homccominj; royalty Bobby Denison, Nancy Tolbert, Judy Patton, Bryan Hughes, and Diane Roberts gaze toward the roaring flames as Earl Erikson gives a hnel talk to rouse school spirit.

Begun at Nazareth Academy, under the auspices of Susan Halepaska, the program was further extended to include all high schools and junior high schools in the area by members of the Nazareth Acad- emy History Club. The presentation of a well-known speaker to a city-wide audi- ence at the conclusion of the week and the official proclaiming of the Week as March 2-7 by the city major give evi- dence of the continued youth interest in their government. Thus, under the Star Spangled Banner of America, the youth of tomorrow are inspired by the youth of today. Candace Pierce, chairman of the city-wide committee tor Americanism Week, prepares for the address she delivered at the program held at Nazareth Academy. Monsignor F. O. Beck leads the opening prayer at the initial assembly during the eventful week.

Through the use of crude and simple materials they made the scene appear more realistic. Gene Humphrey and Sylvia Basaldua, along with other class- mates, put in much hard work and etfort to decorate the senior room for Christmas. As Students Prepare for Holidays Christmas is the season for giving; it is a time when the warm glow which accompanies all of the festivities is a source of joy for all. It is the only time of year when men all over the world seek to find peace with their fellow men. But the most important reason for the feeling that comes with the season is the idea that it heralds the greatest feast of the whole year. This year it will be well for everyone to remem- ber the main objective should be to KEEP CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS!

Parents of the students from Saint Joseph high school once more prove their untiring service by chaperoning at the school-sponsored Edie Sienkiewicz and Ricky Byars sit one out as they pause for something to drink and to catch their breath. The fast pace of the Homecoming Dance was a little tiring even for these active teenagers. and Years of Wonderful Memories Michele Moreau doesn ' t seem too disturbed over Ricky Byars ' unusual antics. She knows that he didn ' t lose anything; he is just doing the Dog . Jay Cohen and Linda Klein pause to pose for the cameraman, but Gale Fossati and Alan Obsta are more interested in performing some strange ritual in the background. 101 Throughout the school year, it is customary tor representatives ot various colleges, businesses, and careers to come and give the senior a view of the choice that is avail- able for graduates after high school. Through the talks, the students come to a realization ot the need for higher education, so that they will be better equipped for the career that they wish to enter. These talks are always well attended and appreciated, because the students are usually very undecided about their future lives. Nazareth Academy senior. Donna Enke, makes good use of her time in planning her future. Here, she is pictured with TSgt. Ralph E. Wall, Air Force Recruiter, who administered the A.Q.E. Aptitude Test to the Saint Joseph, as well as the Nazareth Academy, seniors.

Western Day Provides a Constant Round Pattie Seger lays on the gym floor dying, after being fatally bitten by a poisonous rattle snake. Her death was the gripping climax to her Western Day skit. Quite a few seniors and juniors, and even a couple of sophomores engage in western war- fare, of the shoot-em-up variety. Was the West really won this way? 104 All of the dusty cowhands pause at the water trough to refresh themselves at the end of a hard day. Allan Baass hangs on to his shotgun, just as a precautionary measure. of Exciting Activities for Everyone Jim Orsak stops to examine the famous double barrel shot gun, while a curious crowd of by- standers hustles up to see what all of the excitement is about.

The whole class is given the chance to partici- pate in the activities, which include the living rosary, and the Act of Consecra- tion, as well as the crowning. In a very impressive ceremony, with the seniors leading, the entire student body pays homage to the Queen of May. This year Sandra Zatopek has been chosen for the honor of crowning the Queen. Seniors Gloria Pena, Elizabeth Carver, Eleanor Rossi, Brenda Jackson, Gene Humphrey, and Virginia Alvarado were chosen to carry the statue to its place of honor for the crowning. Sandra Zatopek lovingly places the jeweled crown on the Blessed Mother. Sandra was chosen to lead the seniors in their annual tribute to the Queen of Heaven. From the Prized Rings to the Senior Tea, Seniors Barbara Zafereo and Marjorie Wearden pause at the bottom of the senior stairs to proudly display their most prized possessions to the awe-struck youngsters who dream of the day when they will receive their senior rings. The senior rings are the coveted symbol which represent twelve long years of hard work, but years which have proven to be very rewarding. In the future they will continue to serve as a reminder of a wonderful senior year. Monsignor F. O. Beck pauses in the sacristy of Saint Mary ' s Church to bless the senior rings before distribu- ting them in the ceremony before Mass. 108 Many Things Make the Year Complete % K. nf Sandra Zatopek, Shirley Kruppa, Patricia Kouba, Glenda Williams, Jo Anne Cinotti, Barbara Pribyl, and Madeline Murphy in the receiving line at the Senior Tea, are congratu- lated by Mrs. Kruppa and Mrs. Murphy.

They exhibit a spirit of close cooperation in group work. This is a familiar scene in the halls of Saint Joseph ' s during one of the class breaks.

And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust rerurnest. Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow. Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each to-morrow Find us farther than to-day. Let us, then, be up and doing. With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait. — Longfellow Student Council Officers Secretary Darryl Stefka President Charles Stevenson Treasurer David Pittman Vice-President Thomas Kallus 114 This being Brother Michael Bramgan ' s first year as Student Council moderator he has introduced many new ideas in the council.

Behind the dark church-tower. 1 saw her bright reflection In the waters under me. Like a golden goblet falling And sinking into the sea. The moon and its broken reflection And Its shadows shall appear, As the symbol of love in heaven, And its wavering image here. — Longfellow Mr. STJ The selection of the all school favorite girl and boy is based on leadership, character, and personality as well as popularity.

Both of these traits belong to our school leaders. In the following seven pages, students are featured who have exemplified the qualities of scholarship, loyalty, honesty, dependability, sincerity, and dedication to all the principles for which our schools, Nazareth Acad- emy and St. Joseph, stand. These leaders have enriched their own lives and at the same time touched the lives of their fellow students by beneficial influences they have left on both schools which they have respectively attended. The student body and faculty of Nazareth Academy and St. Joseph are proud to have students of this fiber and caliber among the ranks of those who attend. We now present the HALL OF FAME OF 1965. MADELINE MURPHY, a petite, quick-witted senior, maintains the highest scholastic standing in her class. Her eagerness to aid others is exhibited by her posi- tion as head cheerleader where she constantly strives to improve a cheer and to instill into her fellow stu- dents the value of true school spirit. Most of her time is devoted, as co-editor, to advancing the progress of the EXCELSIOR. CHARLES STEVENSON, president of the Student Council, has served the school through his partici- pation in projects initiated by the Council. He is a considerate senior whose friends can depend not only on his sincere opinions but also on his loyalty. He is quick to analyze situations and doggedly backs up his convictions with logical arguments. 149 BARBARA PRIBYL, an enterprising and diligent stu- dent, has been a valuable asset to her classmates and the school. As national secretary of the CYO, Barbara has proven herself capable of accepting responsi- bilities. Nevertheless, she is a popular student, who can usually be found in the midst of a conversation keeping everyone up to date on the latest happenings. Barbara ' s ready smile has won her many friends. BRICKLEY GEORGE, co-editor of the EXCELSIOR, is well-liked and respected by everyone. Though he is usually quiet, he is very congenial and easily persuaded to laughter. He contributes both his imagina- tive ideas and physical effort to finish a project neatly and completely. His courteous manner is evident to all his acquaintances. 150 GLENDA WILLIAMS, has ably represented the Piioteers as drum major on the football field, where her determined efforts and leadership have made her outstanding. Her jovial personality marks her as a senior who is never at a loss for friends. Glenda shares in the fun and laughter of her classmates, adding her own good humor. All her achievements prove her worthy of occupying this space as one of the top seven seniors. GILBERT CANO, better known as Lupe to his friends, is one of the most responsible seniors in his class. He has demonstrated this as president of the senior class and personality editor of the EXCELSIOR. Lupe, musically inclined, spends a great deal of his time as the singer in a band. He has shown remarkable abilities in this field. 151 ml «4 i - . L ' wei 1 1- Km I 1 •■« s. DIANE ROBERTS, a pert and talkative senior, has captured the hearts of all who come in contact with her by her pleasing smile and her loyal personality. Very confident of herself, Diane has the courage to express her own opinions. Exercising this rare quality makes her a very capable leader which is precisely demonstrated in her role as senior class president. DARRYL STEFKA ' s membership m the NHS exempU- fies his attributes of leadership, character, service and scholastic ability. Darryl has been a member of the Student Council for four years, serving as secretary in his senior year. He has also been an avid worker on the Blue and White, the school newspaper. 152 SHIRLEY KRUPPA, a determined senior, has shown tremendous school spirit as a drill captain in the Piloteers where she was always ready to lend a helping hand. As president of the Mission Crusade, she has promoted unity between the members of the club and this has made the projects undertaken successful. As a leader, Shirley has proven herself to be a good one. KIRK JORDAN, one of the most courteous seniors, will always accomplish any job in finest fashion. He has devoted much of his time and effort to his section of the EXCELSIOR. Although usually thoughtful and quiet, Kirk is always very friendly and often enjoys light-hearted fun. 153 ij rv:.-. ' - o- CANDACE PIERCE, a most conscientious and capable student, has worked industriously to make others more civic-minded. She frequently comes up with many good ideas which she perseveringly pushes through to completion. Her active interest in social studies has shown Candace to be up to date on the situation of the world today. DOUGLAS KRUPPA, a simple yet jovial personality, shares in the fun of his classmates often adding his own good humor. Bobo, as he is called by his friends, has served four years in the high school band, acting as vice-president in his senior year. Whenever Douglas is given a task to fulfill, he does so in a superb manner as was exemplified by his efforts as business manager ofthe 64 EXCELSIOR. 154 TIM BUNDICK, one of the friendliest seniors, blends in perfectly with all groups. He is senior representa- tive to the Student Council and also vice-president of his class. Tim has also been elected Prom Representa- tive in his junior and senior years. His most distinctive quality is the fact that he can make friends so easily. SANDRA ZATOPEK, a friend to one and all, shows great enthusiasm whenever there is work to be done. She was chosen from the entire senior class and given the honor of crowning the Blessed Virgin in the annual May procession. Sandra is very deserving of this honor and considers it a highlight of her senior year. 155 Mr. and Miss Junior Pat Weber and Tommy Kallus 156 Mr. and Miss Freshman Faye Bartula and Robert Stevenson Mr. and Miss Sophomore Nancy Halepeska and Tommy Post .

Some with ornaments of rhyme. Nothing useless is, or low; Each thing in its place is best; And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest. For the structure that we raise. Time is with materials filled; Our to-days and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build. — Longfellow College is Your Toughest Decision Not everyone should go to college. Advanced study requires a certain kind of individual, one who is academically prepared, intellectually inquisitive, and not afraid of hard work. Are you willing to make the sacrifices necessary to obtain an education which will prepare you to compete and cooperate in a constantly changing world.- The college-educated individual fully realizes learning is a never-ending process, and he constantly seeks to know the way of things. Are you eager to ask questions? Why do you want to come to college. ' ' What do you want to learn.- What do you plan to do with your knowl- edge? The mature individual asks these questions and answers them as soon as possible in his search for the right col- lege. The answers are necessary for him to receive maximum benefit from four or more years of study toward a degree. If you have need to further your edu- cation, what college should you attend? St. Mary ' s University of San Antonio is a small Catholic university with a one- family atmosphere. It was founded in 1852 by the Society of Mary. Should you attend St. Mary ' s University? That de- pens on your goals. St. Mary ' s University offers courses in more than thirty fields to those who meet the entrance requirements. Bach- elor degrees may be taken in the liberal arts, business administration, law, music education, and science. Pre-professional curricula prepare students for medicine, engineering, research, business, law, and teacher certification. Master degrees may be obtained in the arts, business adminis- tration and science, with ten areas of spe- cialization. The University ' s history has been one of constant growth and moderniza- tion to meet student needs. Now in its second century as a South Texas institu- tion, St. Mary ' s offers an opportunity to individuals to acquire a quality education while maturing in a growing community with a heritage as old as the Western Hemisphere itselt.
