This announcement by The Most Reverend Archbishop Karl J. was given wide publicity throughout the local area through the combined media of radio, television, and newspaper. Be-' sides St. Xavier two other Catholic high schools will be erected in the northwest por- tions of Hamilton County under the sponsorship of the Arch- diocese. St. Xavieris new school will be situated on a sixty-onc acre plot extending along North Bend Road just east of Parkview Heights. This land, already pur- chased, is bounded by North Bend Road and Galbraith, two main east-west highways, and Hamilton Avenue and Vine Street, a pair of north-south arteries. This site, overlooking the en- tire Millcreek Valley, will some day be the center of population of Hamilton County according to city planners and population experts. Here on these sixtyeone acres 1200 students will enjoy not only the benefits of a Jesuit educa- tion but also the most modern facilities. Forty classrooms will contain the studious Xavierites. A cafeteria seating 600 will house the hungary scholars. A gym with a seating capacity of 2,200 will hold all the students and hundreds of alumni and other Bomber fans. Also on the planning board are a large stu- dent chapel, a football field with open bleachers, and many auxiliary rooms and buildings. Two million dollars will be the approximate cost of the new school which is being designed by Albert Walters. A primary reason for building the new St. X is the increased enrollment in the present build- ing, which was designed to hold no more than 800. The Archdio- cese will jointly sponsor the project because of the tremen- dous number of students in Catholic grade schools who are not receiving the opportunity of entering a Catholic high school. Socialists Complete F atima I nvocations Tomorrow, February 2, at 9:30 am. the Reverend William F. Fay, S.J., will celebrate the First Saturday Mass in St. Xavier Stu- dent Chapel.

MC- Kenna, S.J., Will lead the group in fifteen minutes of mental prayer on one of the mysteries of the rosary.

abaters' Shine 7 ,4 At Middletown ; Terrific is the word for the Xavier debaters7 showing in the Middletown Invitational Tourna- ment on Saturday, January 26. Not expected to even place, the determined boys from Xavier ' came home from the tourney with a tie for second place. The undefeated negative team of Denny Doherty and Dick Zip- fel led the way by coming out with three Victories over the 5' host Middies, Columbus North, ' and Newark. Joe Foizenlogen and his part- ner Joe Wesselkamper, arguing for the much weaker affirmative stand on the problem, came through with one win in three debates to give the Xavier team its 4-2 record and a fine showing 3 against such good opposition. The E $ i g i E ? affirmative side is definitely weakened by the stand it is forced to take, yet the two Joes copped the needed win. The Xavier debaters will t part in the Greater Cincin Speech League Debate Tou ment on February 12 at Su School. This is the major to ment of the G.C.S.L.

' right: eh 'etos Give Poetry A New Era The students of Xavier have added another achievement to their long list of accomplish- mentsepoetry. Yes, certain sen: ior Xavierites have made their debut in the poetry world and are now ready to take their place among America's greatest poets. As,one of the aspirant poets put it, HPoe, move over; here I come. - The quillpushers got their big chance4la few months ago when Mr. Creighton, S.J., assigned the writing of a poem as home- work for his fourth year classes, 4A, 4F, and 4D. Mr. Creighton then selected twenty-seven of the best poems and sent them to the National High School Poetry Association which publishes a magazine entitled The National High School Anthology. aThe Association, which is located in California, selects the best poems of all those sent in from the whole country and publishes them. .t Seven of the twenty-five poems sent in by Xavier students were selected to be published, and ' four of the seven were given Special Mention. The magazine will be available sometime in the early part of this month. The seven poets and their works of art are: Terr ' Toepker, special mention for Studentls Wishll; Dick Zipfel, special men- tiun for HFinisll; Walt Master, special mention for uMy Free- dom ; Jack VonBenk mention for thn the Morning ; Many Bells ; Jark Devanney, tlThe Sea-God,s Challenge ; and Mike Markiewicz, aOde to Poet- rv'n X Launches CSMC Aids Mlssuonarles A new organization foi- this school has sprouted in St. Xav- ierls extra-curricular garden.
