XAVERI AN 1969 St. Xavier High School 2nd and Washington Junction City Kansas Through These Doors . . . In the hurried pace of today's world we often become so involved with our activities and respon- sibilities that we never think of the numerous everyday items that become necessary parts of our lives. These inconsequential objects are seldom noticed, yet they constitute the basis of everyday living. Doors are among these obscure items. By defi- nition, they close the entrance of a house, room, or building. But at St. Xavier's they come to mean more. Closed they stand as obstacles that hide chal- lenges and problems waiting to be overcome. Open they invite all to pass through them and make use of the opportunities available. They make way for the Freshman just entering high school life. They see the Sophomore eager to step up to a greater academic status. They watch the Junior pass through them, taking on new responsibilities and meeting exciting challenges. They stand boldly upright as the Senior, aided by knowledge acquired the last four years, leaves their midst to enter the world and begin a career, fresh with enthusiasm and fascinated by the opportunities awaiting him. But doors do not always open easily. The key to their opening may be a desire to learn, a willingness to become involved, a confidence to put fourth one's best endeavor. But far greater in effect are the rewarding results gained as these doors are entered. The satisfaction gained when a baffling problem is solved . . . the confident pride in a job well done . . . the excitement of cheering the Rams on to victory . . . the spirit of taking part in a class project or activity . . . the thrill of watching dreams become reality. Through these doors the students of SXHS find that the time for reaching tomorrow is today; that responsibilities must be met, problems solved, and challenges overcome now if we are to have a brighter future tomorrow. Through these doors lay the tools by which our futures will be built. And we have the ability to use them now and keep them forever. Through these doors . . . 2 Table of Contents Academics and Administration 5 Organizations 17 Athletics 27 Student Life 37 Students 45 Index 61 Advertisements 65 4 Academics and A dministration Important People i t SXHS Monsignor Thomas Keogan has been the pastor and superintendent of St. Xaviers for the past thirteen years. He immigrated from Ireland after graduating from St. Kieran's College and Seminary. Aside from the con- stant concern of the parish, Monsignor Keogan enjoys a good game of football, golf, or chess. Perhaps Monsignor Keogan is best characterized for his wholehearted concern for the individual student. Students have always received his helping hand when- ever they find it necessary. Monsignor's genuine interest in students enkindles a spark of enthusiasm in every Xaverian. The Board of Education, under the guidance of Monsignor Keogan, works to improve the scholastic and spiritual structures of St. Xavier as well as the financial standings of the parish. Members of the Board consist of religious educators and Catholic laymen. MONSIGNOR KEOGAN converses with Jeff Wild. Members of the Board: (standing) HAROLD COMSTOCK, JOE BOLLER, FATHER SCHEAFFER, PETE KOHLRUS, FATHER SURMEIR, MONSIGNOR KEOGAN. (sitting) SISTER FRANCIS DE SALLES, BILL DEPPISH, BONNIE LOEB, MANUEL VEGA, SISTER LIOBA MARIE. 6 People Who Keep SXHS Functioning Assisting MONSIGNOR KEOGAN in parish respon- sibilities are FATHERS WILLIAM SURMEIR and JOHN SCHEAFFER. Their out-going personalities have be- come quite evident to the Xaverian students. Their zealous spirit and genuine concern of the school and parish produces a convivial atmosphere. SISTER FRANCIS DE SALLES, having been principal of St. Xaviers for the past six years, has come to know the students quite well. As a princi- pal, she not only strives to keep the high school in good status but takes an interest in developing the students from each class into mature and responsible young adults. FATHERS SCHEAFFER and SURMEIR plan a Folk- Mass. SISTER FRANCIS DE SALLES has been principal for the past six years. MR. MILLER and MR.

Richmond. 7 Students Strive for Self-Understanding Miss Carmen Chirveno instructs Psychology. Questions of religious morality, change, and atti- tude are a major concern for many people, including St. Xavier students. In Religion, students try to gain a better realization of the Church through the study of its origin and con- tinual development. This course is instructed by Sister Helena. Orientation enables a student to become aware of his individual role in our two-fold society. The student leams to revolve his spiritual and worldly societies around the foundations of Christian love. Sister Ann Fredrick instructs the class. Psychology leads the student into a better under- standing of himself and the people he comes in contact with. He leams the reasons for a person's way of think- ing and acting through experiments, discussions, and micro-labs. Miss Carmen Chirveno teaches Psychology. hm Kft Religion is taught by Sister Helena. Seniors uncover hidden personality traits through discussions Mary DePersio and Jolene Beavers trace Sal- in micro-labs. vation History. 8 Students Active in History The study of today's state, national and world affairs prepares the student for the challenges he will face in the future. American Government not only educates the student, but gives him the chance to experience civic rights of an adult. Action describes the 1968-1969 governmental and political year in America. This atmosphere was also produced by the American Government class when they held a mock national political rally and election for the student body. World History broadens a student's knowledge of the past. Not only does it deal with the history' of our nation, but the study covers the historical foundations of different countries and time. American Government and World History are taught by Miss Carmen Chirveno. American History provides the student with a full understanding of the basic structure of our country and government from its beginning to modem times. The class is conducted by Sister Ann Fredrick. Albert Perilla locates a point of interest on the globe. Gene Quinton and Larry Jones return their voting ballots to their assigned precincts. Sister Fredrick teaches American History. 9 Challenges Offered to Students The basic sciences such as Biology, Earth Science, and Physics, are offered at St. Xaviers. Earth Science provides the student with an understanding of the natural sciences that sur- rounds his daily environment. Biology, the study of life, including hu- man life is a great interest and importance to the students. This course provides concepts of modem biology through discussions, lab ses- sions and other activities. Earth Science and Biology are conducted by Mr. Long. Physics teaches the student about matter and energy with the transformation of energy and brings forth the non-living aspects of na- ture. Sister Ambrose instructs Physics. Louis Leone and Danny Proudfoot take a close look at fungi. Sister Ambrose teaches Physics. Steve Erichsen and Mark Jones calculate a Physics problem. 10 Bob Cervera busily solves a geometric problem. Grasping the Study of Abstracts Mathematics has one characteristic com- parable to that of the world-change. But the Xaverian student with his intuition, logic, and unwavering study learns to grasp this world of abstracts. Instructor for Math Classes is Miss Schieferecke. Miss Schieferecke instructs Math. Students Practice Homemaking Skills Students taking Home Economics learn the fundamentals of good living. Aside from serving tantalizing meals, the students keep in mind the importance of preparing a well-balanced meal. Home Ec. also teaches the students to sew and wear clothing that is self-becoming and in step with fashions. Home Ec. I and II are taught by Sister Ambrose. Debbie Leone and Judy Mays share a common interest in sewing. 11 Communicating Through Speech and Literature In today's world of mass media communi- cation, it is of increasing importance that each person know his language well. Therefore, the St. Xavier's curriculum provides a wide range of literature from Moses to Orwell. Grammar, too, is accented since it is im- portant that the student know the finer points of the spoken language. Speech I and II gives the student a chance to develop an effective skill at presenting his views to others. MR. WESTERHAUS instructs English I. wmmmm 0 r i Seniors study the greatest literary work—the BIBLE. Laurie Fiffe demonstrates the art of styling a wig in Speech II. 12 Students Active in Foreign Language MRS. SANCHEZ teaches French I and II. The study of different languages not only expands a student's knowledge of speaking, but provides a keen understanding of the customs and cultures of the people who speak that par- ticular language. French has always been known as an inter- national and romantic language. Students learn French through various and interesting techniques, such as password, flashcards, skits, Voici , and by conscious study. Although Spanish is not offered as a regu- lar course, Sister Margaret Mary teaches three Xaverian students in the art of speaking Span- ish. The students attend this class in the morn- ing before actual school classes begin. Lou Schoendaller and Nancy Weber keep an up-to-date account of the news in France. Harry Laurie, Colette Fiffe and Elbie Loeb joyfully sing a French song. Walter, Nicky, and Danny Proudfoot con verse in Spanish. 13 Students Project Themselves Girls' Chorus: (Fourth Row) Chris Ehm, Yvonne Engstrom, Margot Mathey, Sharon Larkin, Laurie Fiffe, Diane Fiffe, Eileen Ericksen, Cathy Teply, Margaret Gustafson, Nancy Sanders, Janet Peters, Mary Jane Paluskas.

Students taking chorus or partici- pating in the school band display their musical abilities by presenting musical productions and by attending the an- nual spring festivals. Art Class enables the students to project their thoughts and feelings by capturing them artistically in paint- ings, ink sketches, or sculptures. Beverly Quinton puts the finishing touch on an art project. 15 Attempting Basic Steps in Business y MRS. RUSSELL conducts the business courses. The increased progress in the world of commerce keeps the need of future skilled business technicians in demand. At St. Xaviers, the student has the opportu- nity of learning the fundamentals of typing and short- hand. With patience and determination, he learns to master these skills. Bookkeeping trains the student in the activities of business transactions and the balancing and recordings of financial matters. Frequent dictation in Secretarial Practice prepares future secretaries. 16 Organizations C. Y.O. One-Act Play Cast: (BACK ROW) E. Loeb, S. C. Y.O. members sing Christmas carols at the con- Devane, P.

O. launched a new year of activities with renewed determination to win the first place trophy. Headed by new chairmen, the committees coordinated the various activities that com- pleted a successful year. All activities were su- pervised and directed by our Lay-Advisor Mrs. Tom Russell and our Spiritual Moderator Father William Surmeier. A few of the activities organized by the various committees included: dances, swim- ming parties, picnics at Milford Lake, the 3- act play entitled Utopia Inc. , roller skating parties, the Modern Problems Forum, bowling tournaments, hayrack rides, the trip to Kansas City to see the Starlight production of South Pacific . One of the prominent activities in which the C. Y. O. members participated was the Diocesan C. Y. O. Convention held in Salina. Supporting their candidate, Mark Jones, for President, the fifteen delegates and two alter- nates campaigned wholehartly for his election. Although Mark was not successful in winning the office, he was appointed a Diocesan Apostolic committee Chairman. Through these diversified activities the C. Y. O. members grew spiritually both as individuals and as a unit. First term committee chairmen: (BACK ROW) P. Pound, S. Devane, D. Hebert, P. Mudd, R. Nenow. (FRONT ROW) B. Boiler, J. Rombeck, J.

A mascot represents the entire student body and projects an image of her school through her actions. She must also keep confidence and pride within the Pep Club when spirits seem to fall. These vital qualities can be found in Collette Fiffe, the 1968-69 mascot. Donned in a new Ram uniform, Col- lette added zeal to the Pep Club as she fulfilled her duties as mascot at the football and basketball games. Collete Fiffe, mascot, holds her new Ram head made by the Art class. 20 Pep Club, Driving Force Behind “Ram Power Pep Club officers: Karen Beavers, treasurer, Dorothy Root, vice-president, Mary Lou Devane, president, and Mary Beavers, secretary. Backing their team with undivided spirit, the SXHS Pep Club enthusiastically cheered the Rams through a year of victories and losses. Cheering along with them was their sponsor of three years, MRS. FRANCIS DANKO. As a team themselves, these girls can long remember such events as sign-making parties, pep rallies, blue and gold clappers, baby showers, battle cries, tournaments, singing on the bus, learning new cheers, forgetting new cheers, homecoming week, forming an X to the music of a band at homecoming halftime, victory dances, Sadie Hawkins, Stop, Look, and Listen, Ram heads, chevrons, hanging signs in the hallway, singing the National Anthem, Clap Your Hands, Pep Club meetings, Two Bits, cramming homework before Tuesday night games, looking forward to Friday night games, cheering in the cold and rain during football season, competing with the thunder of other pep clubs, touchdowns, baskets, and victories. But most of all these girls can share that feeling of sportsmanship and the privilege of contributing to the Ram Power of 68-69 with great loyalty and pride. f f MRS. DANKO relaxes a few minutes from her many duties as Pep Club sponsor. 21 Cheerleaders Exhibit Spirit and Loyalty Varsity Cheerleaders Being all Seniors, the varsity cheerleaders were united not only in a special friendship but also in an undying loyalty to their team and SXHS. Their unquenchable spirits succeeded in leading the en- thusiasm of the Pep Club. Soaring from deep despair to exhausted hap- piness, the five varsity cheerleaders practiced long hours to master their many new cheers. Along with new cheers, the varsity cheerleaders opened the 68-69 season proudly wearing their new blue and gold uniforms. A-team cheerleaders: Sheila Nicholson, Sylvia Tighe, Linda Grant (head), Janice Rombeck, and Janet Velt- man. B-Team Cheerleaders Helping the varsity cheerleaders rouse spirit and zest in the students of SXHS are the B-team cheer- leaders. Many hours of practice went into prepara- tion for cheering during the football and basketball games and at pep rallies. Wearing their new uni- forms, the B-team succeeded in showing loyalty to their team and school. B-team cheerleaders: Pippy Engstrom, Mary Meseke, Connie Perilla (head), Leslie Jones, and Margot Mathey. Both cheerleading squads lead the Pep Club in Stop, Look, and Listen . 22 Student Council Enacts Reform Student Council Officers are: Vicky Levett, treasurer, Ed Castaneda, secretary, Steve Hoover, vice-president, and Harry Lauri, president. School lunches, fire drills, lockers, Student Court, assemblies, signs in the hall, respect for teachers and school property, and the daily Mass schedule were among the diversified topics dis- cussed within the 1969 Student Council in an at- tempt to strengthen communication between the student body and faculty. In September, the Student Council officers and representatives attended a clinic in Manhattan to prepare them for the various duties of a Stuco member. An especially important reform enacted by the Student Council this year involved the daily Mass schedule. So that those desiring to attend daily Mass would be given ample opportunity, Student Council members voted to begin classes at 8:00 a. m. with an optional Mass scheduled at 10:45. This plan went into effect with the approval of the Board of Education. Besides reforming the daily schedule, Student Council also received permission for a represen- tative to appear before the faculty at its regular meetings to bring out student grievances and defend constructive suggestions. Stuco representatives: (back row) Gus Gustafson, Pat Pound, Jeff Wild, Steve Hoover, (front row) Tom Winterscheidt, Cathy Teply, Linda Grant, Peter Murphy.

Business Managers Richard Nenow and Leslie Jones type copy for the Advertising section. Workshop Prepares Xaverian Staff Planning, editing, and managing a yearbook involves long hours of work, a sacrifice of valuable time, and the constant pressure of threating deadlines. The ten members of the 1969 Xaverian Staff were faced with these problems. Striving to overcome their challenging problems, seven members of the Xaverian Staff attended the High School Publications Workshop held at Kansas State University from June 3-8. The workshop offered lectures on the fundamental principles of Journalism and gave the staff a chance to plan and organize their 1969 yearbook. The Xaverian Staff also attended a yearbook clinic at Abilene on September 10, to increase their knowledge of making layouts, writing copy, and handling business affairs. Yet all these long hours of work proved extremely rewarding for the yearbook staff as they captured the fond memories of another year at St. Xavier's. Xaverian staff members: (Standing) Mike Kopmeyer, Collette Fiffe, John Helton, Jeff Wild. (Sitting) Pam Mudd and Connie Perilla. 24 United We Stand, Divided We Fall The 1969 Pioneers: (Top iow) Danny Hebert, Tom Regleman, Elbie Loeb, Larry Jones, and Gary Timmons, (Bottom row) Sheila Nicholson, Mary Lou Devane, Collette Fiffe, Linda Grant, Janice Rombeck, and Mary Beavers. United We Stand, Divided We Fall can well be applied to the eleven pioneers, who have attended St. Savier's for twelve years. Through past experience these seniors have found that their real strength lies in remaining together. Together, the difficult work has been more rewarding, the activities and special events more thrilling. As these pioneers look back to that eventful day in September 1957 when they eagerly passed through the first-grade door, they recall the many events that comprised twelve years of schooling. First communion, holiday parties, holy cards, music-time, Christmas crib scene, The United Fund Organization, St. Xavier's Day, selling Christmas Cards, May Day processions, forty - hours processions, group pictures, class picnics in the park, water balloon fights, baseball teams, basketball teams, show and tell, relay races, first boy and girl dances, first dates, cheerleading, French and German, Thanksgiving plays, term papers, the first school paper The Rambler , Confirmation, slam books, retreats, carwashes, final exams, Impossible Dream , class rings, the Junior-Senior banquet, the first Homecoming, the last Homecoming, presentation of the 1st place trophy to the senior boys during a pep rally, choos- ing graduation announcements, speeches at K-state, selling ads for the yearbook, junior fund raising projects, class picnics at Tuttle Puddle, and of course, graduation . . . All of these events and many more have played an important role in developing these students into mature young adults. But most important of all, is the development of lasting friendships, in which united they stand . 25 Organizations Keep Students Active FT A Sets Up Scholarship Fund In its second year of existence, the Future Teachers of America has increased both in membership and involvement. This year the 35 members of the FTA work- ed toward the goal of raising money for a $50 scholarship to be given to a Senior interested in the Field of education. In reaching this goal, members organized raffles and bake sales and collected dues. All activities were sponsored by Sister Francis de Sales. Many FTA members were given the oppor- tunity to serve as student teachers and teachers' aids, while others helped to maintain the li- brary and welcome guests to the school. FHA Promotes Interest In Home and Community A newly-organized 1968-69 organization was the Future Homemakers of America. With the pur- pose of helping their families, their community, and themselves as individuals, the FHA sponsored a number of activities. Under the guidance and supervision of Sister Ambrose, FHA members served refreshments at the USO, held bake sales, and arranged for guest speak- ers. The FHA district and state meetings were at- tended by SXHS delegates, and representatives were also present at the state election meeting. To boost participation in the Future Homemakers of America, a point system was set up and a certifi- cate awarded to the girl receiving the most points. FTA officers: Parliamentarian Vicky Levett, Historian Margot Mathey, Vice-president Yvonne Engstrom, Trea- surer Maty Meseke, Secretary Elaine Willett, (SEATED) President Steve Hoover. FHA officers: Vice-president Louise Montieth, Presi- dent Mary Meseke, Program Chairman Dorothy Root, Secretary Elaine Willett, Treasurer Diane Fiffe, Song Leader Daisy Paris. 26 A thletics Rams Win League Crown An extremely rugged and spirited 1968 Rams' team won the first Century League Championship in the history of the school, and completed the season with a brilliant record of eight wins against a single defeat. Directed by Coach Max Martin and led by a large crop of returning lettermen, the team rebounded from a disappointing previous sea- son to one filled with honor, prestige, and success. The powerful offensive unit, which amassed a total of 286 points, can attribute its success to a full team effort. The ground attack was paced by star halfback John Briestensky, who led the team in scoring and rushing, and quarterback Henry Jones. The blocking, led by stalwarts John Gustafson and Harry Lauri, was highly responsible for the ground game. The passing wizardry of Jones, which was complimented by the fine receiving of Rob Sanders, Steve Hoover, and Briestinsky, produced additional offensive power. A spirited defensive unit, led by the fierce pass rush of Lauri, Gustafson, and Hoover, and the pass coverage of Jones and Dan Schmidt, kept the oppo- nents in check. Linemen Greg Hargreaves and Gus Gustafson also contributed heavily, as did line- backers Dan Hebert, Frank Valdez, and Richard Nenow. The Rams opened the season with an 18-12 win at Washington, followed by their only loss of the season at the hands of a rugged Mankato team. The third game saw the Rams emerge as winners over Victoria. Consecutive league victories over Solomon, White City, Hope, and Luckey captured the league championship. The 34-14 win over league favorite Solomon was especially significant. By trouncing Luckey 67-6, the Rams avenged a 70-19 defeat of the previous season. The final two games saw the Rams roll over Trinity and Alma. A fine group of graduating Seniors can look back on this season with pride in their hearts, as can the entire school. Meanwhile, returning players can use it for incentive in future seasons. Coach Martin places the first place trophy in the trophy case as Athletic Director Jim Westerhaus looks on approvingly. Tim Stepan (16) is stopped on the sidelines as John Gustafson (36) and Rob Sanders (23) approach. 28 John Briestensky gains yardage on a down field run in the Alma game as Rob Sanders (23) and Pat Pound (17) lead the blocking. 1968 Record OPPONENT OPPONENT'S SCORE RAMS Washington 12 18 Mankato 37 12 Victoria 6 7 Solomon 14 34 White City 19 49 Hope 6 13 Luckey 6 67 Trinity 0 34 Alma 0 52 Frank Valdez (18) heads goalward after picking up a fumble in the Alma game. Five Rams Gain League Honors In addition to winning the Century League Championship, the Rams placed five players on the all-league team. John Brienstensky, who paced the Rams in scoring with fifteen touch- downs and rushing with 794 yards, was selected to the first all-league offensive team. Quarterback Henry Jones, who sparked the team with his run- ning and passing, made both the first offensive and defensive teams. Rams' end Steve Hoover made the first offensive team on the strength of his blocking and receiving, while line stalwart Harry Lauri was selected to the first defensive unit. John Gustafson, who led the Rams all season with his outstanding blocking and tackling, was selected to both the first offensive and defensive unit on the strength of his staller performance.

The Rams accomplished this feat by winning seven out of eight league contests. The only league loss came in the final loop game of the year to Hope, as consistency marked the Rams style of play in the first seven league games. The mixture of a fast-break offense with aggressive defense and strong rebounding was the secret of the successful Century League cam- paign. The team was led by the double scoring punch of Seniors Henry Jones and Steve Hoover. Jones led the team in scoring on the season with 211 pts. His tight defense also helped to stall the attack of many opponents. Hoover scored an even 200 pts. for die year and established a new one-game school scoring record with 39 pts. against Hillcrest. His yeoman boardwork also enabled him to outrebound most of his individual opponents. By grabbing 26 rebounds in the Hillcrest game, he broke the school record. The hustling offense and defense of Junior Doug Po- mpey also contributed to the Rams attack, as did the strong rebounding of Senior John Gustafson and his Sophomore brother Gus. Senior Frank Valdez, Juniors Mike Kopmeyer and John Briestensky, and Sophomores Tim Stepan and Bill Jones also aided the Rams' attack at crucial times. Highlights of the season undoubtedly came in league play, which included two overwhelming victories over arch-rival Luckey. The Rams experi- enced some tough luck outside of the league, due to illness, lack of height, and inconsistent play. All considered, the squad, led by Coach Jim West- erhaus, concluded a highly successful season that can be looked back upon with pride by team and school members. It was truly the year of the Rams.

The Success of the season is centered around the abilities of these four athletes, with additional aid hopefully coming from new prospects for the squad. The team will rely heavily on Senior letter- man Steve Hoover in both the high jump and broad jump. Junior Rob Sanders is counted on for points in the hurdles, as well as in the relays. The efforts of Sopho- more Bill Jones in the mile and Junior Ed Castaneda in the halfmile should provide additional points. If these individuals come through as expected, and if their efforts are supplemented by the abilities of new- comers to the team, die coming season will accomplish a great deal. Rob Sanders prepares for a practice sprint by setting himself in the starting block. Distance runners Ed Castaneda and Bill Jones do the necessary road work for the conditioning process. Steve Hoover adjusts the high jump bar in preparation for a leap. Student Life The Voice of Student Life As the doors of SXHS opened at 8:00 every day, a wide range of voices could be heard within the long corridor. With the daily routine of morning classes came student voices filling the high school rooms. The half-hour of lunch came as a relief from the morning's tedious work, and then students continued classes listening to lectures, taking quizzes, and preparing assignments. As the 3:00 bell signaled the end of a day, the emptying corridor echoed with the chants of pupils preparing to leave school. These everyday sounds, however insignificant, were the means of communication of the 1968-69 school year: I can't get my locker open! Did anyone finish their English? An assembly today? No Algebra! There's no name on this paper. I have three tests today and I didn't study for any of them. I'm not going to call you down again. That's MY Biology book. May I borrow a pen? I left my assignment at home. Hey! I passed my Physics test! Oh, no! I'm on detention again. Harry Lauri keeps students informed about changes in schedules and special events. For some study hall provides a chance to complete assignments, and for others an opportunity to relax. Seniors Initiate Frosh Special events, too, were a vital part of the 1968-69 school term. Seniors were finally able to exhibit their Senior Power as they appropriately initiated 45 Freshmen in September. This year Initiation saw Frosh wearing high heels and knee socks, girls dresses below their ankles, boys in lipstick and girls' blouses. Their tasks for the day widely ranged from carrying Seniors books to screaming with enthusiasm, The Class of '69 is great! A last-hour assembly completed the eventful day as Freshmen in groups read poems in front of the entire student body while Seniors provided the proper effects . Eggs, mud, hay, ketchup, water, and shaving cream pies were among the instruments used to insure these 45 students that they were now a real part of SXHS. Richard Nenow exercises hii Senior rirht to initiate. Seniors make sure everything is in order for Initiation. David Brazee keeps his cool while recovering from Initiation, a necessary part of Freshman Life. 39 The bonfire begins the Homecoming festivities. The Homecoming dance concludes a perfect evening as students and their dates are entertained by the Searching Eye . SXHS Spirit Creates a Successful Homecoming Homecoming Royalty: Sylvia Tighe, Queen Linda Grant, and Janet Veltman. The success of the 1968 Homecoming was due to the remarkable spirit that SXHS students exhibited. Homecoming festivities began at the bonfire, October 10, as St. Xavier fans enthusiastically created the spirit that would lead the Rams on to victory the following evening. Friday afternoon the cheerleaders and Pep Club members, supervised by Mrs. Francis Danko, fran- tically made last-minute preparations for the Home- coming dance. An exciting new addition to the Homecoming game this year was the C. T. F. marching band from Fort Riley. The band played the school song at cer- tain times during the game when the team displayed its RAM POWER. Fans were also entertained when the band marched during half-time. M Sgt. Jessie Hebert arranged for the band and helped with other Homecoming activities. Half-time ceremonies were highlighted by the crowning of Homecoming queen. Candidates were: Miss Sylvia Tighe, escorted by Danny Hebert, Miss Linda Grant, escorted by Tom Regelman, and Miss Janet Veltman, escorted by John Gustafson. As Pep Club members formed the traditional X on the field, Monsignor Keogan crowned Linda Grant 1968 Homecoming Queen. Excitement reached its peak as the second half of the game saw the Rams victorious over the Solomon Gorillas by a score of 34-14! The Homecoming dance completed a perfect evening as SXHS students and their dates danced to the sounds of the Searching Eye, a local group. Music Department Presents “The Roaring Twenties” A new addition to choral activities this year was a musical program entitled, The Roaring Twenties, given November 21 and 22. Sixty chorus members painstakingly sewed fringe on costumes, patiently learned the Charleston, and constantly practiced singing Baby Face in an attempt to bring the glorious days of the twenties back to life. A spirited number, When the Saints Go Marching In, featuring Rob Sanders on the trumpet and Gary Timmons on the drums, set the stage for the lively atmosphere. Other fea- tures included the Charleston, Tea for Two, Varsity Drag, Baby Face, Ain't she Sweet, Five Foot Two, and Smiles. In addition to the song and dance numbers, comedy routines were performed throughout the presen- tation. Sister Stephanie, Head of the Music Depart- ment, worked with Chorus members for sever- al weeks before the program was presented to the public. Helping her was Drama Directress Sister Rose Elizabeth and Choreographer Mary Jean Wynn. Because of the wholehearted efforts on the part of everyone connected with The Roaring Twenties this program was very successful. Gary Sanders serenades Coed Joann Zukowfsky with Gimme a Little Kiss. Judge Cleveland Lavendar selects Louise Monteith as the 1927 Bathing Beauty. Chorus students dance to the Varsity Drag of the 1920's. Seniors Sponsor Annual Valentine s Dance Valentine's King and Queen Candidates are: Jeannine Nelson, Jeff Grant; Joyce Veltman, Gus Gustafson; Mary Meseke, John Briestensky; and Collette Fiffe, John Gustafson. In the midst of red and white crepe paper and pink hearts, the Senior class sponsored the annual Valentine's Dance on February 8, from 8:30 to 11:30. Stu- dents and their guests danced to music provided by The Colors of Time, a group from Beloit. The crowning of the 1969 Valentine's King and Queen high- lighted the evening. Early in the week, two candidates were chosen by popular vote from each class. Freshmen were represented by Jeannine Nelson and Jeff Grant. Sopho- more candidates were Joyce Veltman and Gus Gustafson, and Junior candi- dates were Mary Meseke and John Bri - estensky. Seniors Collette Fiffe and John Gustafson were candidates from the class of '69. Unlike any other year, the voting procedure allowed students and dates to vote for the candidates of their choice regardless of class. As Senior Class President, Richard Nenow announced the outcome, Mrs. James Westerhaus crowned Collette Fiffe and John Gustafson Valentine's King and Queen. After the couple danced to a song dedicated especially to them, they took their Positions on the thrown to reign over the remainder of the dance. Seniors John Gustafson and Collette Fiffe take their places on the throne as the 1969 Valentine's King and Queen. St. Jose (Danny Hebert) checks the celestial account books of St. Elmer (Mark Jones). The Angel (Nancy Meyer) looks on atten- tively. Joanne Lane (Janice Rombeck) and Randy Smith (Walter Proud- foot) prepare to go out for an evening at the Clique Club. Dean Eldred (Elbie Loeb) is rebuff- ed after an attempt to kiss Gloria Smith (Linda Grant), who is much too busy for dates. Shirley Smith (Noreen Danko) explains her teenage prob- lems to Cousin Lucy (Janet Veltman) and Angus Carter (Harry Lauri). To the Smith Family Utopia Inc. , an improbable comedy about a celestial bookkeeper who tries to bring a little heaven into the life of a wealthy New York family, was this year's C. Y.O. three-act play, held March 29 and 30. As St. Elmer tries to bring romance to Gloria and Randy, peaceful harmony to Lottie and Martin, a sense of responsibility to Shirley, and a new life to Cousin Lucy, he finds that he has only made matters worse. To remedy the situation in time for his heavenly bookkeeping exam, Elmer is forced to use the full extent of the powers bestowed upon him. His efforts are finally rewarded and the Smith family discovers their utopia. Mrs. Tom Russell, assisted by Mary Lou Devane, directed the play. Martin Smith (Richard Nenow) reluctantly meets Caroline Cartwright (Sylvia Tighe) as his wife Lottie (Collette Fiffe) looks on with pride. In the background, Melody the housekeeper (Gretta Herron) is atrac- ted by a new marital prospect, Patrick O'Hara (Fred Thomas).

Freshmen Open New Doors This year the Freshmen experienced a great change in their everyday school life from that of the past eight years of grade school; for instance, the rush between classes, the individual lockers, the class officers, the different atmosphere, and the various activities. The enthusiasm shown in taking on the new respon- sibilities of the many organizations was evident early in the year. Many of the S. X. H. S. organizations could not have succeeded without the support of this Freshman class, the largest in St. Xavier's High School. Mrs. Lauri checks Peter Murphy's vision.

Sophomore Class Excels in Activities The Sophomore class of 1968-69 made history by breaking history. The usual Sophomore slump neber occured due to the Sophomore's prominent part in the many school organizations. The St. Xavier's Rams were backed by many Sophomore girls, not only at the games but through their work in Pep Club sponsored activities. Both spirit and drive were shown by the many boys of this class who participated in sports this year. The Rams' football and basketball squads both possessed Sophomore spirit. The Sophomore zeal was both fresh and abun- dant in C. Y. O. Seven members of the fifteen dele- gates to the Diocesion C. Y. O. Convention were from the class of '71. The chairmen and co-chair- men of the many C. Y. O. committees were also from this active class. F. T. A. and F. H A. both had a large amount of Sophomores as hard-working members. The Sophomore class is the second largest in St. Xavier's High School. The active members have not only taken the time and effort to strive for the betterment of their class, but have filled the school with pride and spirit.

The first and foremost one was the better- ment of their school and themselves. The second important goal was raising money for the Junior- Senior Banquet at the end of the school year. As many classes before it, the Junior class has worked intensely striving for the success of this traditional banquet. They began by holding bake sales at various stores. The Juniors also held a cake raffle at one of the home basketball games. One of the more profitable projects was the selling of St. Xavier Rams' decals. The members of the Junior class sold these stickers to schoolmates and other people who supported the Rams. The Junior class also possessed many good athletes in both football and basketball. Three Junior girls were cheerleaders. Through the work they have done and the prob- lems they have overcome the Junior class has proven that next year, they will be truly worthy of the name, Seniors .

One activity that became a part of the daily routine of a few Seniors was the lunch-hour conces- sion stand, which provided refreshments for die en- tire student body. In raising money for the class gift to the school, the Senior class sponsored the annual Valentine's Dance, and also a victory dance during basketball season. Seniors were active not only in money-making projects, but also in odier extracurricular activities provided at SXHS. Such organizations such as Stuco, FTA, Pep Club, Yearbook Staff, and CYO succeed- ed because of die leadership and individual invole- ment of the Senior class members. The increasing importance of politics in a teen- ager's life also applied to the '69 Seniors. In Nov- ember, the entire class organized a mock campaign and election for American Government. Interest in politics was also furthered by a trip to Manhattan to hear part of the Landon Lecture Series. Ten Senior boys helped to comprise the Rams' football team, and four of these players were nam- ed to the all-league team. The success of the '69 basketball season can be attributed in part to the four Senior boys on A team. Keeping in mind their futures, Seniors perform- ed such duties as taking the ACT and SAT tests, choosing graduation announcements, selecting Se- nior pictures, being measured for their caps and gowns, and writing to colleges for information concerning admission. As graduation day came closer, the Senior class came to realize that the work and the activi- ties of the past four years were all worthwhile in preparing them for dieir future lives as adults.

Washington Closing the Doors of'69 As the doors of SXHS close for another year and as the 1969 Xaverian is finally completed, I would like to thank all those who helped to make this book a reality. First of all, I thank the American Yearbook Company and especially Mr. Frank J. Wright, our representative, for the guidance and patience he expressed while we were preparing our book. I also thank Sister Francis de Sales for her com- plete co-operation in allowing the Xaverian Staff to carry out all of its plans. I thank the Junction City Daily Union for their courtesy in lending us the negatives for several of the sports and activities pictures contained within our book. Our school photographers also deserve special credit in providing the remainder of our pho- tographs. Finally, I sincerely thank the members of the Xaverian Staff who sacrificed their time from school work and other activities to accept the responsibility of completing their individual sections in recording the highlights of 1969.
