Camille Suess, Nancy Sanders, and Howard Wohlfarth pre- pare a French assignment. Aside from the everyday hustle and bustle of changing classes, rushing to lockers, cramming for tests, and antici- pating the end of the day, the 1969-70 school year vibrated with unity, spirit, disappointment, and improvement. With the coming of a new faculty, many changes took place. Students assumed a new responsibility of living up to expectations of the new administration. Changes were pre- velant not only inside the classroom, but outside also. The hours, the lunch process, and the general ruling were changed. In summary, the year was a sign of change, yet, as it came to a close, students looked back on it as a truly unique year. 6 Kerry Loeb relaxes during study hall. Initiation: A Sign Of Belonging In late October the seniors welcomed the 1969-70 freshman class with the traditional initiation. This year saw a more modified version of initiation than ever. It began in the morning with the freshmen doing small tasks for the seniors, such as carrying their books and praising the great class of '70. A last hour assembly completed the day with the freshmen divided into small groups, singing and danc- ing for the entire student body. The Seniors judged their acts and, if it did not meet with their approval, the freshmen were assigned to reappear with another act or wash the school bus. Afterwards, the freshmen enjoyed cleaning up the mess. Gerald Houser and Joey Hargreaves prove to be very good partners. 7 John Peters and Cindy Tully perform for the seniors. Homecoming Fulfills Expectations HOMECOMING ROYALTY: Louise Montieth, QUEEN Chris Ehm, and Mary Meseke. October 31, 1969 was a night of dreams come true. It was Homecoming for St. Xavier's. Meeting their arch-rival, Luckey High the Rams scored a 22-20 victory over the Cardinals. At half-time ceremonies three candidates for Homecoming Queen were excorted in convertibles around the gridiron. Chris Dim won the coveted award and was crowned the Homecoming Queen of 1969. Chris Ehm was escorted by Greg Hargreaves. Her attendants, Louise Montieth and Mary Meseke were escorted by John Briestensky and Steve Erich- sen, respectively. A new tradition was set by the Pep Club when Linda Grant, the 1968 Homecoming Queen, returned to present a blue velvet cape to the Queen. As a part of the half time ceremonies the Pep Club formed an R on the field. 1 he Queen and her attendants reigned over a dance. Music was provided by the Summer Blues. 8 Bonfire illuminates the spirit of Homecoming.

Reflections of a Stained Glass Windowmak- er proved to be an excellent production. It portrayed the story of a monk, who was assigned by his fellow brothers to depict the story of Christmas on a series of stained glass windows. As he dreamt of each window, the students enacted the tableau scene on stage. The Christmas program was the result of the combined efforts of Sister Venard, music direc- tor at St. Xavier High, and Sister Michael Ann McKenna, instructor in Speech and Drama at K.U. Many students help to create a manger scene. L. TO R.: Jeff Wild, John Helton, and Edwin Cas- Pat Pound, senior, reads the commission for the making taneda depict the meeting of the 3 Kings. of the stained glass window. 10 “ Here’s My Heart” Expresses Valentine’sTheme The annual Valentine's Dance was sponsored by the C. Y. O. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the King and Queen. Vying for the title of king and queen were: Rita Winterscheidt and Eric Loeb, Freshmen; Eileen Erichsen and Tom Winterscheidt, Sophomores; Camille Suess and Kent Stuckey, Juniors; Elaine Willett and Steve Erichsen, Seniors. The 1970 King and Queen of Hearts were Camille Suess and Kent Stuckey, the Junior candi- dates. This honor was bestowed on the basis of which class had the most members attending the dance. The theme centered around HERE'S MY HEART . C.Y.O. members planned and decorated for the dance. The King and Queen reigned at the event, and all danced to the music of the Black Flag. Kent Stuckey and Bill Forkenbrock help to develop the streamers to create an effect. The 1970 King and Queen of Hearts, Camille Suess and Kent Stuckey, smile radiantly. 11 St. Xavier s Students Show Signs Of Achievement Aside from their daily school life, several St. Xavier's students went on to achieve many honors. The many league activities, such as the vocal clinic held at White City, the band clinic held at Hope, and the speech clinic held at Solomon, of- fered the students a chance to use their talents in competition. School organizations such as F.H.A. and C.Y. O. also served as avenues by which recognition was gained. The Betty Crocker Homemaker and the Region- al VFW Speech Contests, claimed by two St. Xavier's students, brought added acclaim to the school. Junior Cynthia Herron won the Regional VFW Speech Contest. Students pictured ABOVE participated in the speech and drama clinic held at Solomon.

Our concerns have been theirs during this school year. Despite the demands on their time, these people were available when their help was needed. Lectures, field trips, lab experiments, discus- sions, and physical education classes directed by our faculty have helped us to develop the Greek ideal of a sound mind in a sound body. xx anr,w ,berS r0nl,iiFT,TO R'CHT (TOP ROW) Mr. Jack Wahle, Msgr.

COACH MARTIN teaches boys’ and girls' physical education. He also acts as head football coach. SISTER EUCHARIST A, our librarian, is presently in her 9th year at St. X. MRS. SANCHEZ, teaches French I and II. This is her 4th year at St. X. FATHER DON SCHEAFFER instructs one religion class. He is presently the CYO moderator. FATHER JOHN CARLIN instructs two religion classes. This is his first year at St. X. He was formerly at Hays. 17 SR. MARY LEO, another new face, comes to us from Tipton. Sister is Principal and teaches Psychology and Ethics. She is guidance coun- selor and Yearbook Advisor. MR. WHITE was formerly a teacher at Wichita State University. He now teaches Chemistry, Biology, and Physical Science. SR. MARY AGNES may be a new face to many, but this is not her first year at St. X. This will be her 9th year with us. She teaches American and World History and American Government. New Teachers Present New Challenge To Students SR. VIANNEY, besides being the commerce teacher, instructs the sociology class. Her other classes include Sec. Practice, Shorthand, Bookkeeping, and Typing. SR. VENARD is also here for her second time. This is her third year. She teaches boys', girls', and mixed choral. She also directs the band. MRS. ALBERTS taught at Butler High School. She teaches Algebra I, Geometry and General Math. 18 MRS. BAKER taught in South- Western Junior High at Lafayette, Indiana.

SISTER DOMINIC comes to St. Xavier's from our archrival, Luckey of Manhatten. She teaches English 2 and 3 and Religion 2. SISTER MARIE, who was st St. X. last year, is now teaching Home Economics 1 and 2. She also teaches Family Living. A new and different challenge confronted the stu- dents of St. Xavier's this year. An almost entirely new staff has come here to teach, and this has pre- sented many new experiences. A new mood of co- operation was needed by all students in order to make this year a success. Also, self-sacrifice was found in the hearts of all students in order to make these new teachers feel welcome here at Saint X. MRS. INDRIERI came all the way from HonDULUA, Hawaii to be with us this year. She teaches Art I and II and is the Pep Club Sponsor. 19 Classes To enter the world of computers and machines, St. X students must first learn the traditional academic disciplines. Here we see freshmen pondering the meaning of sets and equations in Algebra 1. Microscopes bring the subject into sharper focus as the sophomores study one-celled life in Biology. Juniors look attentive as the discussion in Sociology adds to their knowledge of man. Participation in politi- cal life seems difficult to imagine when seniors have to face the day to day routine of government class recitation. 20 Band And Chorus Work Toward Top Performance At League Clinics Girls' Chorus: (TOP R), Mary Pound, Sandra McGuire, Diane Fiffe.

They realized that being tabbed freshmen can be in- furiating and at times humiliating; yet they have borne their title well. The biggest event of the year came with the peril of initiation. This tradition opened new doors for the freshmen; new friendships, and a certain feeling of knowing the actually belonged. They became accustomed to the ups and downs of high school life and the responsibilities of being high school students. Several school organizations would not have reached their goals without freshmen participation. Though still underclassmen, they possess the drive to promote and fulfill their goals in their future years of high school. Freshmen class officers are: TOP ROW-John Bea- vers.

This is a class full of spirit and ambition. Under the leadership of level-headed class officers, they are sure to excell as upperclassmen. Members of the sophomore class participated in both football and basketball, and supported many school organ- izations, including Pep club, Student Council, C.Y.O., F.T.A., and F.H.A. The sophomore class was one which had drive, wis- dom, and human understanding. With these traits, there is reason to expect great things from them as future Juniors.

Juniors Work Toward Banquet Goals The 1969-70 Junior class, consisting of 39 members, faced this school year with one goal in mind: the success of the Junior-Senior banquet. The biggest problem for them was raising the funds. In doing so, they sponsored car washes, album raffles, bake sales, dances, and the sale of candy bars. Aside from their joint efforts for the year, a promin- ent number of Juniors were active in C. Y.O., Pep Club, Student Council, and athletics. The Junior class, having accepted and completed their responsibilities and obligations, readily look toward their Senior year. 28 Beverly Boiler Dwight Boiler Larry Breault Stephen Bush Robert Cervera Sarah Jane Devane Lu Ann Dixon Lauri Fiffe Gus Gustafson Margaret Gustafson Richard Gutierrez Kenneth Hageman Cynthia Herron Pat Hoover Jess Hooper Gary Houser Lisa Jones Bill Jones Sherry Kippes Michele Leone Michael Lynch Nancy Meyers Chris Olsson Albert Perilla Daniel Proudfoot Nicky Proudfoot Beth Ann Roberts Nancy Sanders Casey Smith Tim Stepen Kent Stuckey Camille Suees Cathy Teply Phillip Vega Howard Wohlfarth 29 Not pictured: Lisa Burke Seniors Anticipate Graduation The 1969-70 seniors began the year with the realization that it was to be their last year at St. X. The year was filled with last minute prepara- tions for graduation, such as the selection of announcements, senior pictures, and cap and gown measurement. One of the highlights of the year was making money for the senior class gift. Bake sales, car washes, dances, and raffles were just a few of the money-making projects. Leadership was the key to senior success. Many seniors participated in and led such organizations as C.Y.O., Pep Club, F. T.A., F. H.A., and Letter- man's Club. Looking back over the past year, the 1970 se- niors can consider themselves well prepared for the future. Mr. Harkey measures senior Doug Pompey for cap G gown. Senior class officers (L.

Vi SLOV CONSTRUC1 ZONE ORGANIZATIONS Stuco Builds Union The 1969-70 student council promoted a closer relationship between the students and their new faculty. Discussion on such topics as freshman initiation, lunch- room facilities, and class dues helped all to become an active part of student council. Most important of all issues was the proposed Student Council scholarship for the most deserving senior. All found Stuco a medium of communication of ideas between students and teachers.

They have stood alone, yet togeth- er sharing these fond memories: First Communion, recess, staying after school, Confirmation, holy cards, May Day processions, class picnics, slam books, fights, first love, initiations, painting curbs, talking in class, writing notes, and getting caught, the eighth-grade follies, selecting their class rings, raffles, final exams, Junior- Senior Banquet, the first dance, Senior Slave Day, crying and laughing together, games, cheerleading try-outs, hiding from the teachers under tables, playing cards during lunch, pushing in the lunch line, friendships old and new, carwashes, water b a loon fights, party time, falling plaster, nick-names, music festivals, gym classes, conventions, senior week, graduation, and just the thought of having one another. They now stand on the threshold of maturity--the past but a memory, the future but a dream. The foundation of their future lies here in the walls of St. Xavier's. She has bestowed upon them the best she has to offer-- a lasting pride in their school and in themselves, a true and strong understanding of their faith and love for Christ. They have grown together in knowledge under the guidance of dedicated teachers who have instilled in them the importance of tomorrow. But most of all growing together through these years has given them the basic fundamentals of life and what it has to offer. They have acquired an extra - special loyality to each other and their school that only twelve years of togetherness can provide. With these fond friendships and lasting memories, they are prepared for the future as mature and Christian adults. 41 CYO Fosters Christian Living The St. Xavier's diocesan outstanding C.Y.O. unit award. The St. Xavier's Catholic Youth Organization, a- gain undertook the task of offering its members the strength to live truly Christian lives. All would have failed without the help of its sponsor, Father Don Scheaffer, the aid of its new lay advisors, Mr. and Mrs. John Summers, and the example set by its officers. Various events were planned for the 1969-70 calendar and these include guitar masses, visits to the hospitals, and teaching the mentally retarded. The National C.Y.O. Convention in Denver, Colorado lasted from November 19, to November 24. Seven members of our unit attended. In competition for the Diocesan C.Y.O. out- standing unit award this year, C.Y.O. sought to achieve even greater heights then those set in previous years.

The 1969-70 St. Xavier's Pep Club dawned the new year with new uniforms and the spirit and drive to back their team in both football and basketball. Aside from their roles as spirited boosters, the pep club held after-game dances, bake sales, and painted curbs. These activities helped to sponsor the Homecoming festivities, Sadie Hawkins, and the Athletic Banquet. With the leadership of the officers and the cheerleaders, the pep club boosted the spirit and the morale of their school.

Plans Better Teaching Methods The future Teachers of America planned many activities for the 1969-70 school year. Helping in the grade school library, assisting teachers in the grade school classes, and working in the office were only a few of these activities. These helped the students see the teachers in action and better prepare them for future teaching as well as being rewarding and enjoy- able experiences.

With its goal of recording the major events and fondest memories of 1970, the staff worked to include a year's happenings. In pre- paration for their work, the staff attended the High School Publication Workshop at Kansas State Uni- versity from June 3 to 8, with lectures on the fund- amentals of Journalism. They also attended the Yearbook Clinic in Abilene in September. Time spent by the staff in the preparation of the copy, and the long hours of tireless energy expended by the school photographers in the developing of film and processing of pictures all, added to the making of the '70 Xaverian. 48 o Rams Place Second In League A determined and hard-nosed Ram football team closed out the season with a record of five wins. The Rams had a nine game winning streak when they met a sound and balanced football team in the Victoria Knights. The Rams were victorious in their first two outings, but were defeated, thus ending the school's longest winning streak. The following week, they fell to the Solomon Gorillas. A powerful and rugged ground attack with an outstanding defense contributed considerably to the next three victories over White City, Hope, and Luckey. Silver Lake handed the Rams another setback but gave the fans a wizardly exhibition of a passing attack. In the final game of the year the squad again met defeat at the hands of Alma which displayed torturous ground attack. During the season, many outstanding players contributed greatly to the success of the team. Pat Pound put pressure on opponent's offenses from his defensive end position; John Briestensky amassed a tremendous total of offensive yardage at the halfback spot. At the receiving end of Ed Casteneda's passes were the great pair of hands of Rob Sanders, who was our leading receiver and who also rushed for many additional yards while playing great defense. Steve Erichsen compiled a considerable amount of rushing yardage from his fullback spot. A defensive standout who called signals from his safety position was Dan Schmidt. On the line, where most things begin, stalwarts were found in Greg Hargreaves, Roy Olsson, and Gus Gustafson who opened holes when called upon. All three came through for the team in the defensive squad. One cannot eliminate the importance of the rest of the squad who gave so much of their valuable time and effort to the betterment of the team. In years to come they will look back upon this winning year and feel proud that they were part of this team. The football squad of next year will have a tradition to carry on because winning is a tradition, due to the competency of Coach Max Martin. 50 The Rams do everything man , Rob Sanders (14) picks up yardage on a sweep.

Five Rams Distinguish Themselves At the close of every season, conference coaches get together and choose those players who excelled at their particular position. Five were honored in tins fashion; three making the defensive team and two the offensive squad. These players were: Pat Pound whose defensive play on the line kept opposing runners in check; Roy Olsson and Greg Hargreaves teaming up playing offensive tackle and guard opened many gaping holes throughout the course of the season; John Bries- tensky who for the second consecutive year was selected on the strength of his pass defense; and Dan Schmidt, a defensive stalwart, devestated offenses with his tackling ability from his safety spot. Coach Max Martin looks on as his squad goes through practice drills. 53 Rams Finish 4-13 A young, hustling, and scrapping Ram basketball team bowed to defeat many times, but glimpses of victory protruded very definitely. Coach Westerhaus, going with young substitutes many times throughout the season, brought new signs of hope into the line-up. The Rams played many top quality schools during the season with great zeal and brilliance. The Rams' typical style of play was that of a combined fast-break offense and a hard pressing defense which so often led teams to mistakes. Tim Stephen, a junior forward, led the team in scoring with Cus Gustafson fol- lowing close behind in that category and leading in the rebound department. The ball-handling of John Briest- ensky, Bill Jones, and Doug Pompey gave many defenses trouble. The clutch-shooting of Mike Kopmeyer contributed heavily to the team. Sophomores showing outstanding promise and poise during team play were: Cleveland Lavender. Jeff Grant, and Bob Wahle. All gave the team considerable ball-handling and scoring punch. In years to come, a great improvement will invade the basketball court through the combined efforts of the underclassmen. With hard work and great desire their years ahead will reap success as has this past year. This will only be accomplished through sportsmanship and above all by a tremendous amount of teamwork. Coach Westerhaus and Bill Jones exasperatingly follow the actions of the teams. 54 STANDING, L.

They are: Rob Sanders who is counted on to bring back firsts in the shot-put and discus; John Briestensky, who will run the 100- and 220- yard dashes as well as participating in relays; Bill Jones will again attempt to shatter records in the mile run as he did last season; Edwin Castaneda will participate in the hurdles and half-mile run; and Bernard Boiler will tally addi- tional points in the two-mile run. A good turnout of underclassmen and hard work will fill the remaining formula for a prosperous and winning track season. Senior sprinter, John Briestensky, prepares to launch himself out of the starting blocks. Rob Sanders, senior shot putter, concentrates very hard be- fore he lets loose. 58 A D VER TISING BROWN’S FLORAL 1111 N. WASHINGTON CE8-4135 CE 8-6141 ALLEN'S QUICK-CHECK 1324 N.

First, I wish to thank the American Yearbook Company and Mr. Frank J. Wright, yearbook representative, for their cooperation with the staff in working on the book. Next, I would like to sincerely thank the yearbook advisor, Sister Mary Leo, whose help, patience, and determination spurred the staff on to the completion of the book. For the contribution of several photographs, I wish to thank the Junction Daily Union. I would also like to express special thanks and recognition to the co-editor and the heads of the various yearbook sections for their hard work and their persistence in the composition and production of the yearbook. Also, the yearbook photographers deserve credit and thanks for supplying most of the photographs. The assistance of all the preceeding people and firms has helped to make the yearbook a Sign of the Times. M Vicki Levett Yearbook Editor 70 .. ..
