St. Stephen High School Port Huron, Michigan presents The Stephecho of 1963 volume vii The STRENGTH that gives us power There can be no growth nor development without the potent factor of STRENGTH. It is the one indispensible element of man for growth and endurance. This important quality has been nur- tured and developed in us with every possible means. Now that we are the last two classes to be educated in St. Stephen High School, we have the opportunity to display the POWER, the STRENGTH, and the FORCE of carrying out into the world what we have learned during our years in school. Even though St. Stephen’s will have only a senior class next year, our curriculum of studies, extra-curricular activities, and program of athletics has not and will not be lessened in any form for its two final years of the high school’s existance. A well- rounded curriculum has provided opportunities to develop our mental powers; an extensive program of sports has produced phy- sical prowness, but the test will come when we meet life’s problems in modem society. As these days at St. Stephen’s slowly come to a close, we recall the events of the past school year — a year in which we have strengthened our inherent skills, broadened our capacities (whether phsical, intellectual, or moral), and revitalized our entire being. Table of Contents Administration 4 Spiritual 8 Juniors 14 Athletics 26 Activities 42 Seniors 62 Our priests instill strength of character Leaders of youth — these are our priests. Added to the problems of running a parish, they have the responsibility of operating St. Stephen High School. Their willingness to counsel a doubtful student or to answer a questioning mind is ever present. Vitalizing the spiritual and supervising the scholastic life of all at St. Stephen ' s, Father Edward DeMars, the pastor, has given untiring interest. He has taught and shown us by example, a reverence for the things sacred in life, and as a loving father and guide has given us strength to become ma- ture Catholic leaders and loyal American citizens, now and in the future. Assisting Father DeMars in the teaching and guidance of youth is Father Peter Van der Linden. Father holds weekly religion classes for the juniors and seniors, where- in he endeavors to impart to all the moral strength needed to meet the problems of the present day. M That s about all, Larry, Father Edward DeMars seems to be saying as he concludes an interview with Larry Zimmer concerning ideas for school policies. Father Peter Van der Linden looks thoroughly engrossed in his hobby as he spends a leisure hour or two, pasting pictures of the Great Lakes freighters in his scrapbook. 4 Notes are taken and decisions are made during one of the faculty meetings held in the library. Seated, left to right: are Sister Jean Baptiste, Sister Marie Arthur, Sister Aloysius, Sister Mary William, Mother Coronata, Sister Evangelista, Sister Harold Marie, Mr. Robert Sheehan, and Mr. Michael Gkekas. Our faculty imparts moral and scholastic strength The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary of Monroe, Michigan, as our instructors, encourage and enlighten us not only scholastically but also spiritually and socially. Their work for God is reflected in the high ideals of char- acter and scholarship which develop in their students. As counselors and moderators of our activities, they teach us to take our places in society with correct social and economic principles. They also try to foster high spiritual values. Under the direction of Mother M. Coronata, six I. H. M. religious conduct the junior and senior classes. Helping them to maintain the standards of excellence in education are the lay faculty: Mr. Robert Sheehan, Mr. Michael Gkekas, and Mr. Romeo Fracalanza. Uppermost in the hearts of the faculty members and stu- dents at St. Stephen High is Mother M. Coronata, principal. Since the day of her arrival, Mother has been the inspira- tion of many scholastic and religious endeavors. In future years, she will be remembered as one who gave her utmost to keep St. Stephen an outstanding high school in its last years of existence. Mother has maintained the academic excellence for which our school is noted, and has encouraged a warm student-teacher relationship. Mother M. Coronata, principal, satisfactorily completes ar- rangements with Mr. Darold Cowper for the future career day. 5 The faculty is the foundation of strength in our lives Although Sister Aloysia is very proud of the sketches of her artists, she is also well pleased with the progress of her Latin students in Ciceronian ora- tory and the literary accomplishments of her two American Literature Classes. Sister Harold Marie prepares for one of the many interesting experiments of the Chemistry class. Sister also teaches junior Religion and Physics. In a pensive moment, Mr. Robert Sheehan thinks of difficult questions for his American History and Economics students. In addition to teaching Drafting, Religion and English, Sister Mary William finds time to make sport posters for all games. Our senior instructors, Sister Evangelista and Sister Jean Baptiste, make preparatory plans for a panel on the Ecumenical Council to be given by the twelfth grade religion students. Sister Evangelista also teaches Shorthand, and Sister Jean Baptiste instructs classes in French and Higher Mathematics. These are our guides . . .

Sister also instructs a group of juniors in Church History. 7 Christ’s own Blood brings us SPIRITUAL STRENGTH to meet life’s V- • fffo. problems Spiritual strength is imparted to us by many and various means. Prominent among these is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Daily Mass is provided for us so that it may be the functional or operative center of our lives, in truth, an accurate measure of us as Catholics. In active participation at the Mass we come to a better knowledge, and therefore a love of the Mass. We realize that it is at Mass that we draw near to God, the Author of ail Strength. For us the Mass purifies; the Mass strenth- ens; the Mass brings peace. Fortified by these graces received, we can strive man- fully to overcome the evil we encounter and to stand free in God’s truth. Much of our vigor and strength comes, of course, from the Sacraments. These help us to reproduce in ourselves the sentiments which Christ had when He was on earth. They not only give us strength but a way of applying it — a Way of Life. Thus they enable us to live and teach us how to do so. In the Sacraments Christ is giving us life, He is teaching us, He is forgiving us, and He is strengthening us. Most important of these is the Sacra- ment in which the holy and powerful per- sonality of Jesus comes into contact with us, with a nearness that did not exist before. In our Holy Communions we look for strength — strength to work and to suffer, to live for God. Throughout the school year, we renew our spiritual strength by using some of the many sacramentals. Prominent among these were the daily use of holy water, a loving reverence for the Sign of the Cross, a participation in the spiritual blessings of the Church, such as the blessing of the throats on the feast of St. Blaze, and the receiving of blessed ashes on Ash Wednesday. Frequently, as a group, we prayed in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, the rosary in hon- or of our Lady. Many of these were re- vitalized during Retreat. It was a time we relived our dedication to Christ. We ratified on our own account what we once received at Baptism. As the first day of Retreat comes to a close, Father Edward DeMars, the pastor, bestows the blessing of God on the high school retreatants. 9 Singing the Mass brings to life the liturgical spirit Francine Malane, junior organist, sings the Propers and plays the accompaniment for the student body ' s singing of Mass XII. Participating in the Sacrifice of the Mass prepares us for the day ' s struggle. To be on time for the eight o ' clock Mass represents a willing sacrifice on the part of each individual. Many of the students come from out- of-town areas: Emmett, Goodells, Wadhams, Lexington, Lakeport, Marysville, St. Clair, and Sparlingviile. In accordance with our Holy Father ' s wish that Cath- olics throughout the world take a more active part in the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice, the student body sings the morning Mass, accompanied by the organist. Many students also receive Holy Communion, thus fully participating in divine worship. It is customary for many during lunch hour to slip into church for a short Eucharistic visit. At the cru- cial times of football and basketball contests, they are joined by the entire student body in publicly re- citing the rosary. On certain occasions, such as retreat, closing of May, and Holy Hours, Benediction of the most Blessed Sacrament is given. These events, especially the three day retreat given by Father Raymond Ellis during Pas- sion Week, are of special significance for the seniors, many of whom earnestly endeavor to make this last high school retreat their best. Encouraged by the words, “He who sings, prays twice, the jun- iors and seniors participate fully in the praising of God at Holy Mass. Laudamus te. Benedicimus te. Adoramus te. Glor- ificamus te, sing the students as they kneel in adoration. 10 In keeping with the tradition of offering the first Stephen students unite their prayers with those of Mass of the school year to the Holy Spirit, Saint Father DeMars, to the Giver of Strength and Wisdom. 11 At the close of the Mass, Father DeMars gives the Lord ' s last blessing to help us in the day ' s work. With the aid of Jody Platzer, Father Edward DeMars dis- tributes Holy Communion. To bring strength to their souls, Judy Rossi, Pat ricia Pattinson, Mary Lou Gibson, and Frances Twiss receive the precious Body and Blood of our Lord. Michael Zwolinski and Richard Fawcett await the opportunity to avail themselves of this grace. The recitation of the rosary forms an important part of our student body offers this tribute to our Lady in the presence daily worship. During the months of Mary, May and October, the of the Blessed Sacrament, following the eight o ' clock Mass. 12 We sustain our spiritual life through the sacraments Father Joseph Drogowski of St. Mary’s parish, St. Clair, Michigan, gives to the juniors and seniors a talk on vocations, stressing the religious life. Diane Dolinar, Michael Shier, and Elizabeth Ward spend part of their noon hour saying the stations. 13 Studies afford juniors power to amass STRENGTH in RESERVE The class of ' 64, which will have the distinction of being the last class to graduate from St. Stephen High School, is acquiring strength in reserve. In keep- ing with the previous high standards of the school, the juniors are endeavoring to formulate moral standards and worth- while ideals to be able to cope intelli- gently and correctly with life ' s problems. In the pursuit of correct moral principles, the juniors realize that Christ belongs in every moment of their day. In a program of spiritual activities they learn the value of their supernatural life, and are given many opportunities of increasing it in their souls. This is the chief purpose in life. An expanding curriculum which endeav- ors to meet the modem demands in math- ematics and science helps the juniors to collect sufficient strength for the future. Responding to the nation ' s need for more and better qualified scientists, St. Step- en ' s offers to all a three-year course of study in the scientific field. This year, in the chemistry class, the juniors were able to gain an insight into the composition of matter and its physical and chemical reactions. In mathematics they strength- ened their foundations by the new, modern approach. New emphasis was placed on English, foreign languages, and the social sciences. Thus the juniors were given every chance to advance intellectually during the year. With no underclassmen to initiate, the juniors united their efforts to those of the seniors to make the year a memora- able one. Many opportunities were given them to display their abilities, initiative, and originality. Early in the year they showed their usual pep and ingenuity in the variety of decorated cars they entered in the homecoming parade. In addition they participated in the Area Talent Show, sponsored by the Student Council, and it was a junior who won first prize. In the Christmas holiday season, as in the re- mainder of the school year, there were various events to occupy their time and provide an outlet for their bubbling and inexhaustible energies. Junior officers, Jill Erickson, John Bower, Sharon Zimmer, and Ronald Horbes, make sure that the gym is locked after a fund raising dance. 15 Junior religion classes study church history to obtain Church history comes to life as Diane Zimmer, Annelies Wolter- This scene, portraying St. Paul ' s conversion, was one of several beek, Bill Wilson, and Sharon Zimmer dramatize a bible story. used by the juniors to make their studies more interesting. Robert Abdoo Robert Allen Julie Janet Diane Anderson Beatty Beeler Sandra Beeler 16 better understanding of their faith Study guide units, class room discus- sion, related reading, and reports help to bring alive the history of the early Church and make it part of our religion. After doing the above things, some ambitious juniors still felt that a cer- tain amount of variety in their religion course was desirable. So, under the direction of a fellow classmate, Bill Wilson, they dramatized the miraculous conversion of St. Paul. The play, pro- duced and directed by Wilson, offered an unusual diversion from the ordinary class room discussion. Although plays are few and far bet- ween, they symbolize the students ' interest in the early problems and ac- complishments of the Church. In addi- tion to offering a change in the custom- ary class format, it enables them to realize more clearly the facts related in their units about early Church his- tory. It is only through such a desire to learn more about our faith from sources other than textbooks that we can devel- op into well-rounded Catholics who will be an asset and not a hindrance to our Church and the community in which we live.

Thus they are not only learning to enjoy and evaluate the literary value of novels, short stories, po- etry and essays, but are also recalling and grasping important American History. Sister Mary William and Sister Aloysia help their students in English to master the mechanics of the language and to appreciate its heritage of great literature. Joan Hazelman Robert Herbert Edwin Grattan Carol Go stinger David Halifax Roseann Hayes Merrilynn Herrick ‘Parlez-vous francais? is a question being asked of both juniors and seniors by the French students. Under the guid- ance of their instructor, Sister Jean Baptiste, they are being taught one of the most useful foreign languages. The class employs the aid of records, movies, and tapes to help make the foreign language a living reality and the study of it a dynamic and satisfying experience. It is hoped that the stu- dents will develop some understanding and appreciation of the way another people live and think. This appreciation of common attitudes and aspirations are foundations of cordial and worldwide friendship between nations.

Even to- day, man looks to the past to guide him in the present and future, because from the mistakes of his predecessors he learns how best to cope with the future. With this idea in mind, the social studies courses, as we know them, came into being. Thus, we may define history and economics as “those subjects which relate directly to the organization and development of human society and to man as a member of social groups . 1 9 Through a course in modem history we accomplish the first part of this definition by studying man ' s attempts at or- ganization from the stone age to the modern world. In the same way that history accurately describes the first part of our de- finition, economics completes the second by preparing us for our role as citizens in the greatest political institution in the world, the United States of America.

In the lab, David Osgood performs the test for oxygen, while Sheila O’Hara and Joseph Conger collect the gas in other bottles. Theories, equations, explanations, and exp e- riments are all a vital part of any chemistry class, and the course offered at St. Stephen ' s is no exception. After learning the principles and procedures described in the text book, the students have an opportunity of putting their knowledge into practice by performing numer- ous and, sometimes, complicated experiments in the lab, for this, mathematics is essential. Natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, radicals, factoring, functions, simultaneous equations, and inequalities are just some of the many terms and problems which confront the second year algebra student. Although the list of problems which face the mathematics major is staggering, they do accomplish their main purpose: to develop his reasoning powers to the fullest extent. While the primary purpose of drafting is not to develop a person ' s reasoning power, it does present to him a set of problems and exercises which will prepare him for his future work, whether it be mechanical drawing or work of a completely different nature. Thus, drafting offers training and experience in many varied careers and in industry.

Y Joseph Tokarski Practice, practice, and more practice is the greatest re- quirement in developing shorthand skill. Sister Evange- lista seems to have convinced Marian Johnson, Alma Bleau, Janet Beatty, and Madelyan Johnson of the value of drill. 24 Art and commercial classes require developed skills The business world is no place for the untrained, St. Stephen students will readily assure you. Real- izing that future positions may very well depend on their skill in office work, many of them have enrolled in one or more of the commercial courses. The words “typing” and “shorthand” immediately bring to mind, the duties of a secretary. Of the various occupations, there are few with such diverse inter- pretations as this one. Some students may think of it in terms of a private secretary ' s job in a large corpora- tion, while others may see themselves as receptionists in the office of a doctor or dentist. But whatever their views, they can be assured of one fact - only those showing qualities of responsibility, accuracy, speed, and efficiency will be able to secure top positions in the professional and industrial fields. Art classes also offer opportunities to the stu- dent to prepare himself for future work in artistic fields. Whether he plans a career in commercial art, architectural drawing, or interior decoration, the art student finds it necessary to have a knowledge of color and design. These fundamentals are taught in the art classes, where the pupil soon realizes the extent of his artistic ability.

With only juniors and seniors from which to draw for a fighting foot- ball team, Coach Michael Gkekas found 37 boys ready in the summer to join the squad in grueling practices. Pep meet- ings continued to be morale-boosting sessions despite the loss of the under- classmen. Each Friday, various skits sent the student body into rollicking laughter and pepped up the spirit of the team. The fans did not let the team down, for scores of onlookers presented themselves at everyone of eight games. The cheerleaders as a dynamo of spirit could always be counted on, when going was rough. Hornet cagers ripped through their bas- ketball season to clinch its first St. Clair Area League title since 1948-49. Control of the backboards and the team ' s display of fine performance helped the Hornets on to victory. Only one game of the season found the Hornets trailing; the return game with its bitter rival, Marysville. The fast breaking Hornets, with exceptional shoot- ers and strong rebounders, were ranked 7th in the U.P.I. poll and 10th in the A.P. poll. The League competition was tough since the majority of the teams were class B while the Hornets belong to class C. Unfortunately, in the tournament the Hornets drew Capac, southern thumb champions, for their first opponent. Capac won. When this book goes to press our ath- letes are preparing to enter the spring sports schedule. These consist of base- ball, track, golf and tennis. If we can maintain our records of the previous years, we should have a good baseball nine with eight veterans returning to the team; our golf squad should prove successful, and our tennis team will need to work hard to maintain last year ' s ratings — the district and regional crowns. Our athletic program molds character by developing initiative and responsibility;by teaching good sportsmanship and fair play; by nurturing leadership and self confidence. Finally, sports help the athlete to realize how important teamwork is in life. St. Stephen cheerleaders and fans go wild as the buzzer sounds enabl- ing unbeaten Hornets to edge the Vikings of Marysville 48-41. 27 St Stephen Hornets break even in league contests Go!

Mr. Gkekas was pleased with his team of “hustlers”. In the first game with Marine City Holy Cross, the Hornets made nine touchdowns — one more than they chafed up last year during the whole season. Although the Horn- ets did not have a perfect sea- son, they provided the fans, both at home and away, with many thrills. St. Stephen displayed its traditional fire and spirit on the gridiron, whether they emerg- ed as victors or vanquished.

When the 1963 baseball season rolls around the Hornets hope to be well prepared to give keen competition. In 1962, the track team finished fifth in the S.C.A.L. meet and was runnerup to Marysville in the Marysville Invitational track meet. Last year our squad set three records; Don Kinch, John Bower, Pat Landon and Mike Nelson ran the mile relay in 3 minutes 41.4 seconds. Dennis VanTroostenberg- he ran the high hurdles in 15.4 seconds and the low hurdles in 21.6 seconds. Since Port Huron has many beautiful golf courses, the Horn- ets golf squad will have many different terrains on which to prac- tice . Therefore, Coach Bill Wil- son expects a good 1963 season. A firm grip is necessary at all times for playing good golf. Coach William Wilson explains the use of a certain hold to Dennie Wyliie, Jody Platzer, Michael Shier, and Gregory Duva. Mr. William Wilson, now in his third year as Hornet golfing coach, points out some of the tougher com- petitors to George Foun- tain and Bill Wilson, Jr. 40 Mr. Gkekas, coach for the Hornets ' 1963 baseball season, instructs Jody Platzer in the placement of the fingers in order to throw the curve ball.

Since these qualities of genuine scholar- ship, noble character, worthy leadership, and distinguished service are fundamental to all, such organizations as the National Honor Society, Student Council, Future Teachers ' Club, Future Nurses Club, Le- gion of Mary, Catholic Students Mission Crusade, Varsity Club, and Girls Athletic Association have been established in St. Stephen High School. Unity, which is so much a part of our school, stems in part from the Student Council whose main function is to pro- vide learning experiences for the students. It has become an integral part of the cur- riculum, and as such makes a constant effort for the betterment of St. Stephen ' s. Prominent among its social functions is the annual Holly Hop. Some of the funds raised from this dance are used to provide outdoor play ground equipment for the pri- mary classes in the grade school. To de- velop and maintain good school spirit, the Student Council was responsible for the Homecoming festivities, consisting of the annual parade, pep meeting, and dance. Many of the weekly general assemblies, held on Tuesday mornings, were planned by the students. Some of these were: a panel on the Ecumenical Council, a Found- er ' s Day Program presented by the seniors, and the campaigning and election of the Student Council officers. In addition to the carefully thought-out programs given by the students, the student body was also privileged to attend two outstanding examples of faculty ingenuity. The first of these was an unusual afternoon assem- bly featuring the real Aunt Jemima in a melody of songs. The second, to the aston- ishment of the students, was a birthday party with all the trimmings, games, prizes, cake and ice cream. Students and friends dance to the music of “The Continentals at the annual “Holly Hop , a semi-formal sponsored by the Student Council. 43 Student Council aims to assist faculty and encourage Mary Ann Vizdos delivers a speech trying to convince the stu- dent body of the ability of her candidate, Maureen Tate. Maureen Tate praises her candidate as Ann Johnsick, Jane Crim- mins, Mary Vizdos, Mary Piechowiak, and Pat Dailey await their turn. The bi-monthly meeting of the Stu- dent Council is conducted by Paul Smith, president. To his left are: Mary Ann Vizdos, secretary, Phil Jenkins, treasurer, Bill Wilson, vice- president, and two representatives from each home room. 44 school spirit Inspired by the words of our present Holy Father, “that one of the best ways of assur- ing a strong and lasting peace among men is to have them work together in practical tasks af- fecting their well-being”, the student council endeavors to strengthen the faculty-student relationship in St. Stephen ' s High. Early in September, prospec- tive candidates for office eag- erly seek signatures of their classmates. At a general assem- bly, the qualifications and platforms of the candidates are presented by a campaign manager in two-minute speeches. Later, the student body vote by secret ballot for the candidates of their choice. In addition to the usual ac- tivities sponsored by a student council, such as the magazine drive, Homecoming Festivities and Talent Show. 1962-63 saw the last Holly Hop to be pre- sented by the student council. Members of the student council work on the decorations for their ninth annual Holly Hop. They are, clock- wise, starting at lower left: Paul Smith, Maureen Tate, Sue McPherson, Nancy Dunn, Jody Platzer, and Mary Vizdos. This kind of work is fun. Participants in the St. Clair Area Talent Show are: Bill Wilson and Francine Malane (seated at the piano), Mary Ann Collard, Paul Smith, Jane Crimmins, Sandra Klemmer, Lana Bowers, Jim Collins, and Mary Neaton. Twisters John Bower and his date, Frances Twiss, enter into the jolly spirit of the Christmas hop. 45 Clubs offer useful outlet for students’ time, energy Officers of the Varsity Club, William McKenzie, vice-president, and Sam Napolitan, president, hand out hard-earned Hornets jackets to two of the new members, Joseph Conger and Edwin Grattan, juniors. Theresa Howard, as a member of the Future Teachers Club of America, helps Kathleen Johns, a third grader, to improve her reading ability. Lighting their small candles bypassing them through the flames of the four colored candles representing scholar- ship, character, leadership, and service are some of the 25 students inducted into the National Honor Society, from left to right: Frances Twiss, Ronald Horbes, Sharon Zimmer, Joan Czarnecki, and Joanne Dangel. 46 The St. Stephen Chapter of the Future Nurses club, un- der the direction of Mrs. H. Decker, embodies fourteen girls from the high school. Janice Kramp and Merrilynn Herrick try on the caps they one day hope to wear. Sister Evangelista, adviser of the Catholic Students Mission Crusade, plans with Bill Kearns and William Brush a debate on Communism to be presented to the student body at an assembly. High school members of the Legion of Mary have expanded their member- ship to include the seventh ahd eighth graders. This national organiza- tion is very prominent not only in the school, but also in the parish. 47 1963 Hornets’ Nest Staff finds journalism challenging Barbara Bernard interviews Mr. Robert Sheehan, head of the Social Stu- dies Department, about his plans for the annual Senior Government Day held at McMorran Auditorium. Barb, as a reporter, must whip out a fin- ished product to meet the fast-approaching deadline. No formal journalism course is being taught this year, since too few students elected the class. Instead, a volunteer staff of seniors and juniors publishes “The Hornets 1 Nest”, meeting after school and working independently on assignments as an extra-curricular activity. Only five issues are being published during the school year 62- 63. This was necessitated by two facts: the limited enrollment, resulting in the de- crease of newsworthy material; and lack of financial aid from student subscriptions. However, an enthusiastic staff, headed by Mary Ward, editor, and Nancy Dunn, co-editor, spent many hours of their free time planning, writing, editing, proofreading, and laying out the bimonthly issues. Mary and Nancy attended a two-week workshop at the University of Detroit during the summer of 1962. Staff members are learning principles of good journalism; difference in news, feature, editorial, and sports writing; headline construction and count; and layout techniques during weekly meetings. They are endeavoring to maintain previous high standards and to strengthen areas which were indicated in need of improvement on critical analysis sheets. They attended the Journalism Convention at the University of Detroit on October 6, and the Press Trainshop on February 16. Working far into the night the editor, Mary Ward, and the assistant editor, Nancy Dunn, labor frantically to complete the cutting and pasting of the galleys. Unless the dummy is at the printer’s on time, the publication of the paper will be seriously delayed. Striving for a balanced arrangement and a pleasing appearance in the layout of their first issue of the Hornets Nest, Roseann Hayes and Mary Ward sketch the first two pages on the board in the Staff room. 48 An important ingredient for a successful newspaper is avid reader interest. In the foreground Philomena Jenkins is absorbed in her reading, while the junior boys, Mike Zwolinski (standing), Greg Duva, Bob Abdoo, Denny Kinch, Mike Keegan, Bill Przedwojewski and Bob Herbert devour the sport section. Mary Ward consults with Mother Coronata, Hornets Nest adviser, on some of the fine points of newspaper editing and effective layout for the next issue of the bimonthly school publication. 49 Stephecho staff struggles feverishly to meet deadlines The future Stephecho staff attended the Yearbook Workshop at the University of Detroit last summer. Here, Dorothy Fifer, layout editor; Henry Fischer, sports editor; Mary Piechowiak, copy editor; and Paul Smith, editor enthusiastically scan past issues of good yearbooks and magazines to get new ideas on layouts. Putting out a yearbook is not all fun, for there are many problems and difficulties. It is often hard and time-consuming. The staff is responsible for carrying out the tradition and maintaining the high journalistic standards for the school annual. In the past year the Stephecho rated a “First Award” from the Detroit Student Press Association and scored from the National School Yearbook Association a “B+” rating which means “Very Good to Excellent.” That ' s why the staff keeps to a grueling Saturday and after school schedule during the first three quarters of the school year. Then in June, the drudgery of publishing a yearbook has passed, and the staff can en- joy their final publication. “Oh, no! M -says Mr. George Askar as he takes one of the many pictures which he shot for our school annual. Nonchalantly watching, is his one-day helper, our editor, Paul Smith. The business staff, Richard O ' Brien, William Brush, and Bill Kearns, fill in an advertising chart. The ads top the 100%. Mr. A1 Weatherly, publisher of the Stephecho, discusses various yearbook covers with Dorothy Fifer and Paul Smith, staff members. 50 and to keep its standards Virginia Scheff and David Wandelt, school photographer, ex- amine some prints for the yearbook. Asking the opinion of Sister Jean Daptiste, adviser, they make a final selection. Mary Piechowiak, copy editor, instructs our chief typist, Janet McIntyre, on the correct method employed when typing copy for the yearbook which is done to proper character count. Henry Fischer shows staff members (left to right) Judy Ros- si, Rose Mary Vario, Judy Jackman, Diane Dolinar and Vir- ginia Scheff, a few interesting layouts procured from pro- fessional magazines. By constantly examining these excell- ent pages, they learn new techniques pertaining to layout which they can then apply correctly to the Stephecho of 63. 51 GAA. program enables girls to become active Just as it is necessary to develop intellectually and spiritually, it is also important that girls learn to develop coordination, teamwork, and sportsmanship. This is accomplished in the Girls Athletic Association under the supervision of Miss Doris Teachout, athletic director. Throughout the year, junior and senior members learn new exer- cises, hold basketball tournaments, and play soft- ball. In addition to becoming well-rounded indivi- duals through these activities, those who faithfully attend receive % credit per year. In May the ban- quet, at which the letters are given, is held in the St. Stephen cafeteria. Awards for the Most Valu- able player, Most Improved player, and the Out- standing Sportsman, are presented to those voted to these honors by their fellow-members.

But Mary Neaton, Sue McPherson, Maureen Tate, Sharon Revnew, and Mary Ann Visdos realize that they will have to wait til the game. Hours of hard work pay off, according to Rayjawor. The homecoming court waits eagerly outside the school for the start of His cleverly decorated car captured first prize. the parade through town, held annually on the afternoon of the game. 54 Alumni Joe McCormick and Karen Payne clown before the camera, add- ing fun and frolic to the homecoming dance following the game. The traditional spirit of St. Stephen ' s was well shown at the annual homecoming game despite the loss of freshman and sophomore classes. This unusually vigorous display of enthusiam can be attributed in part to the con- centrated effort of rival classmen in decorating their cars for the annual parade to Memorial Stadium before the evening ' s game. By nightfall the accumulated spirit, generated by the many homecoming activities, made it easy for the fans to cheer the team on to a 26-7 victory over St. Clair, the first SCAL win for the Hornets in two years. In the picture below, as a fitting close for this day of pageantry, Queen Sue McPherson with her court (Mary Neaton, Sharon Revnew, Maureen Tate, and Mary Ann Vizdos) looks over her kingdom. Climaxing a day of unforgettable thrills and excitement, Sue and her date, Tom Mitchell, take time out from their dancing to pose before the throne to preserve a moment which they will long remember on recalling that glorious senior year. Homecoming Queen, Sue McPherson, waves to the crowd at Memorial Stadium following the coronation ceremonies during half-time of the St. Clair game. 55 Concluding the Ecumenical Council program put on by the seniors is the master of ceremonies, Sam Napolitan.

In speaking at the Detroit Student Press Associ- ation’s annual convention, Candida te-for-gov- emor, George Romney, encourages patriotism. Mary Neaton and Bill Mullins watch Mr. Sheehan indicate the building in which their sectional meeting will be on senior government day. 56 Church, school and civic activities alert and inform us In November, the school observed the 117th anniver- sary of the founding of the Sisters, Servants of the Im- maculate Heart of Mary. To pay tribute to their faculty, the seniors presented a pro- gram informing the student body of some of the hardships of the pioneering sisters. At the actual time of the initial meeting of the mem- bers of the Ecumenical Coun- cil in Rome, a group of seniors explained and discussed the purposes of the various sec- tions of the council. Budding journalists attend- ed the University of Detroit Press Convention where they heard George Romney address them in the opening talk of the convention. The rest of the day was spent in sectional meetings, which both the news- paper and yearbook staff found interesting and instructive. The 14th Annual Senior Government Day held at the new Sports Arena, gave an opportunity to the American History class to learn about state and local government. As part of the annual Founder ' s Day program, Patty Pattin- son, Henry Fischer, Judy Rossi, and Jerry Mercurio act out a scene concerning the early history of the congregation. Portraying a Sister of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Ann Johnsick moderates a program for Founder ' s Day. Mary Neaton and Bill Mullins explain their sectional meeting at the close of Government Day, while Mary Piechowiak listens. 57 Denny Pfaff and George Foster can hardly wait to cut this tempting cake which the basketball team received for winning the S.C.A.L. title.

He must immerse himself in both the noble intellectual traditions of his faith and in the discoveries of his special field of learning. He must realize that his task will demand that he work harder than students in secular schools; he must also realize that he cannot view his education in a Catholic atmosphere simply as a kind of spiritually antiseptic way of preparing to make a living. He is preparing for a task that Christians acquire by reason of their baptism — that of redeeming others and themselves. The class of 63 has been preparing to take its place as truly Christian adults. A college preparatory curriculum has provided them with the power of knowledge that makes them true scholers. Through their religious instructions, they sought for truth in its ultimate source — God. In their social studies, they learned from the past and the present to plan for the fut- ure. Modem scientific and mathematical information helped them to cope with the complex problems of the present age. Languages and the arts have better equip- ped them to express their ideas. All these subjects have contributed in giving them a firm foundation for the future. Opportunities for the cultivation of the qualities of leadership, cooperation, ma- turity, service, and responsibility have been given to the class of 63, as under- classmen and now as seniors. Theirs has been the privilege of leading the juniors in all activities and now theirs will be the responsibility to serve society with a willingness and unselfish devotion for the needs of others. They will need to lose themselves in generous enthusiasm and to cooperate fully with others for the common good. In their formation, they have become persons with true strength of character. They will be the ones who despite all obstacles must stand firm in their personal beliefs. Senior class officers, Mary Neaton, Mary Ward, William McKenzie, and Richard O ' Brien, reflect their pride in graduating from St. Stephen ' s. 63 Senior sociology course inquires into modern problems Class of ’63 consider apologetics, marriage and role of lay apostle The study of the Catholic viewpoint on world problems leads to a better understanding of the Church.

The advanced Latin class learns forensic arts and the humanities from their study of Cicero. Here in a lively debate: Adlai E. Stevenson vs. Marcus T. Cicero, Bill Kearns, speaking for Cicero, is disgusted as Bill Wilson pleads Adlai Stevenson ' s case. Linda Lapish Roy Lenaway Lydia Lopez 71 Lynne Lowenthal Joseph Lozano Seniors take math for future careers Realizing the importance of mathematics in preparing for careers, a number of seniors have enrolled in the four-year course. In their last year, these students try to acquire not only the usual mathematical skills of trigonometry and analyti- cal geometry, but also the ability to innovate, to create new mathematics with a deeper understanding of what mathematics is and how it works. Such understand- ing equips them better to take their places in modern society, characterized by ever-accelerating change. Competing against one another in a race to complete a problem, Henry Fischer uses a giant-size sliderule, while Dorothy Fi- fer relies on her mathematical computation.

Early in the fall, they enjoyed their football games, climaxed by the Homecoming parade and dance. Christmas season brought the annual Holly Hop. Bas- ketball ushered in countless times of getting together to cheer the team to victory. In May, the juniors gave the traditional dinner-dance. The relaxed atmosphere of the class picnic at Camp Stapleton provided a welcome change from the last few frantic days of class. Our leisure days ended with the Graduation Prom held at the coun- try club. Roberta Wedge Getting ready for a class picnic can be as much fun as the event itself. Mike Landon and Joe Pierce, vi- tally concerned about food, check on this important item. Pat Dailey and Judy McGill fold a blanket to be used on the Lake Huron beach.

We were taught what to believe and what to do in order to gain eternal life. Our teachers advised and encourag- ed us; they assisted us in forming good habits of mind and body; they imparted information that ignited a spark of interest and challenged our intellectual abilities. Our learning must become effective and efficient. We understand more completely the role that extra-curricular activities play in the shaping of character. Through intelligent participation in our school activities, we began to acquire STRENGTH of character. We developed a sense of social respon- sibility, an intelligent and healthy interest in athletics, a round- ing out of our personality. These are the things that make us useful citizens of modem society and worthy members of the Catholic Church. Our entire program of student life, marked so carefully for us by our faculty, was not an easy one, but it developed POWER and STRENGTH in us. Almost anyone can begin the persuit of a noble idea with energy and enthusiasm, but it is only the stalwart person who will persevere to reach the goal. We hope that we have imbibed the STRENGTH to persevere in all that has been instilled in us through our education at St. Stephen High School. For this, our philosophy of life, we always will be indebted to our parents, our teachers and our preists.
