' 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.

Robert C, Lemux anl R Bzdz'nger IO Editor Bzumw Manager 'NHTVUILLCLUTIETLI 'DllUulu'wlrc'fVL' a WAACW St. Xavier High School in 1959. 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. This Mass will complete the five First Saturday Masses as prescribed by Our Lady at Fa- tima in order to win world peace. Mr. Mott, SJ, will lead the stu- dents in a rosary, and Fr. MC- Kenna, S.J., Will lead the group in fifteen minutes of mental prayer on one of the mysteries of the rosary.

FOREWORD The I957 X-Ray endeavors to present to the reader a comprehensive portrayal of the events of the past year, including not only activities and events that comprised the school year at St. Xavier, but also certain world- wide events that occurred within that period. For a theme, the X-Ray Staff turned to that famous line from Virgills Aeneid llForsan e! haec olim memim'ssejuvabir. tSomeday, perhaps, these will be pleasant things to look back uponJ Time has a magical quality of rendering pleasurable even those events which, at the time of their occurrence, seem quite ordinary or disappointing. Perhaps the events portrayed in this yearbook will someday be pleasant things to look back upon. If the 1957 X-Ray brings the reader some pleasure now or at some future time, the X-Ray Staff will consider its efforts amply rewarded. cheered wh For Third Night Under Russian Fire Covering N ation Reds Promise To Bargain For USSR Withdrawal eRebels Fight 0n VIFNNA Oct 26 lFrida . , . yl tAPieFighting raged through a third night in flaming Buda- pest between Soviet troops and Hungarian anti - Communist: becked by some Hungarian sol- diers and tanks.

Dec. 30 tAPi-The Suez Canal will be open in May for the largest-type vesseIs adapted to its depth, Lt. Gen. Raymond A. Wheeler estimated today. United Nations salvage work is to start on the north- ern end Monday. Under present plans, said the United States expert in charge of the canal clearance for the UN, a. passage for ships of 25- foot draft should be completed early in March. That would cover oil tankers and other craft of roughly 10,000 tons. The normal depth is 34 feet 3 inches, which will accommo- date all but the largest of ocean-going vessels. Both sunli- cn ships and silt are hazards now. Dredging operations halted with the outset of the Israeli and British-French attacks on Egypt two months ago. To WORK AT FULL SPEED In a statement issued by the UN information office here, Wheeler first announced clear- ance operations at'the northern end of ti 1 canal would be initi- ntod today t'at full speed. in cooperation with Egyptian au- thoritios. lle amended this in a tall: later. with newsman at Port Said, saying the UN salvage fleet would get to work there at 8 a. m. Monday. Other i'es- 5915 started clearance of the southern end, at Suez, Satur- day, Wheeler outlined three phases of work, the first of which wnuld open a small channel for the veiiels of 25-foot draft. The second phase would open the anal fully, and the third would involve final removal of obstructions from ports and Im- sins and the restoration of docks and lmrboragos to their original condition. Wheeler estimated the first stage would end in MarclL the second in May and that the third probably would proceed ' concurrently with the second. He said the UN fleet, nmv totaling 23 salvage vessels, would he built up to: approxi- mately 30, in addition to some British and French vessels tem- pm-nrily incorporated into the fleet to continue work under his direction during January. ARBOR BEING CLEARED The wording of the state- ment seemed to imply the Brit- ish-French vessels would not form a part of the UN fleet proper. Wheeler said the Brit- ish-French vessels, which- start- ed- clearing Port Said harbor before British and French troops evacuated that port De- cemi 1' 22,. would continue that work. Three such vessels are i am kmfh-whnn tub
