Musicians Learn the Score We could often be heard rehearsing for our annual performance at Sister Mary Florence's nameday, the Christmas program, or per- haps the Spring Concert, where we displayed the ac- complishments of a year's hard work. Recorded in our book of memories along with our trip to Chicago, was initiation in fall and the Orchestra picnic on Ascension Thursday. lt al- ways managed to fog up and drizzle on our picnic day, but we never let the damper take hold. Rosemary Beczkiewicz, woodwind section leader, demonstrates the proper technique of cleaning a clarinet to the other mem- bers of the section: Peggy Goodmann, Donna Wolf, Sheila Dunn, Ellen Zimmerman, lo Ann Patti, Carol Heinrich, Joyce Jobst, Kathryn Zielinski, and Kathleen lachacz. On this same happy note we pooled our talents in planning our float and booths at Carni- val and Mardi Gras. We always had a great time assembling our brainstorms and then when we thought we had it, we watched it collapse. But our efforts felt rewarded when we heard that we had won a prize. Along with the arrival of robins and tulips came the District solo and ensemble contests. Those who worked extra hard received one ratings and even one stars, which meant we would later be off to Madison for the State Contest. Now our trip to Madison, our annual picnic, and our Spring Concert are over. June has arrived, our year is complete. Enjoying the snapshots token at initiation are Sister Mary Andree and the officers of the Orchestra: Nancy Hegelmeyer, Secretory: Kathleen Wagner President, and Joyce Jobst, Treasurer. All decked out in their new outfits is the clarinet quartet: Rosemary Beczkiewicz, Joyce Jobst, Peggy Goodmann, and Carol lynn Heinrich, as they re- hearse one ot their numbers before a performance.

Helping us to learn and understand the importance of our government and our community lite is the purpose of our Civics Club. This organization, because of its large size, works through many smaller organizations. Safety Council, Governor's Committee on Human Rights, and Catholic Students Better Government Council each have their own particular organization and contribute to the success of the Civics Club. At Christmas time we delivered over l6,000 Christmas cards to the faculty and students. The importance of fire preven- tion was the subiect of a skit during Octo- ber in which Smoky Bear paid us a visit and the SMA Fire Department illustrated their technique on a tire made of cello- phane. The Governor's Council on Human Rights meets regularly to discuss racial conditions existing in the United States. The Catholic Students Better Government Council discusses national and local prob- lems, using parliamentary procedure. The Safety Council deals with a prob- lem in our own school-bus conduct. Each day the members keep order in the waiting lines and on the buses to see that we are acting as St. Maryans. Braves pitcher, Bob Trowbridge, auto- graphs a baseball for Janice Kratochvil at the CSMC carnival, while Janice Sweet, Margaret Statz, and Margaret Walther look on enviously. Heading for the bus stop are these Safety Council members: first row next to railing Theresa Bueckers, Mary Ann Schwartz, Mary Ellen Burger, Antoinette Marifke, Joyce Jobst second row Lois Brykcynski, Gloria Leszczynslri, Dolores Krysiak, Avita Gladys, Jo Ann Patti Francene Wolak third row, Judith Benzinger, Christine Roock, Barbara Todryk, Joyce Scholz fourth row Joan Zurowski and Marylin Schultz.
