.::AnJ c:Jhis W// J3e Jlstorg
This October, when the Second Vatican Council meets in Rome, will mark
the opening of the twenty-first such
council in the history of the Church . The
last council met in 1870 under the direction of Pius IX.
Just what is an ecumenical council?
Briefly, an ecumenical council is a meeting of all the bishops and major prelates
of the Church cal led by the Pope in order
to discuss problems facing the Church
and her members.

Individuali ty
As mentioned before, there have
been twenty such councils so far in the
history of the Church . It is interesting to
note that all of these councils have had
an individual character and that the
course of the present council is not likely
to be found in the past. As Monsignor
Hughes, a noted Catholic historian, points
out, "The history of the next council,
how matters will go once the bishops
meet, can never be foretold from the
history of the past."
One instance of individualism can
be seen in the very members of the
Council. In the past, European prelates
made up practically the entire council.
Today, though, membership will be divided more evenly with Europe supplying 38%, North and South America,
31 .5%, Africa, l 0% , and Asia and
Oceania, 20 .5%.

Problems
What are some of the problems facing the Second Vatican Council? This is
a question answered most easily by observing the vast changes in our way of
life within the last century-changes
which have far-reaching effects on the
life of the Church . The principal object
of the Council will be, as the Pope has
stated, "the revival of Christian standards of morality and the bringing of
ecclesiastical discipline into closer accord with the needs and condition of
our times."

Specific areas of discussion that are
likely to be brought up include: defining
clearly the layman's role in the Church;
dealing with the changing character of
the world population; fulfilling the demands technological advances have
made on the Church; changes in the
liturgy in order to bring it closer to the
laity; and building up a closer contact
between the hierarchy and the laity.
Although the Pope ultimately decides
the topics for discussion, all of these
areas seem likely for consideration .
This represents a brief outline of the
coming Second Vatican Council. Whenever we recite the often-heard prayer
for the council, we can look for "a kind
of new Pentecost in this, our time", realizing the importance of this event and
fervently ask God's blessings on our efforts .

John Mikulsky 105

Pep Assemblies
Are No Fun
Hey you guys! This pep assembly
is really going to be a blast! Skits, cheering and a lot of fun . . .
Boy, the spirit sure is running highlisten to those clapping hands and peppy cheers. Everybody's smiling and talking and having a ball . . . except for
that girl over there-and that other girl
-and that one . Gee, what's wrong with
them?! They look kind of sick . Well if
they're sick, they should go home. Saycome to think of it, those girls always
look sick-sick and tired and bored. How
could they possibly be bored at a pep
assembly? They don't ever cheer or clap .
I wonder what they're thinking . . .

.. :: *
Yawn. Groan . Thi:; is too much .
These bleachers aren't the most comfortable place on earth to be. If those
kids knew how much ridiculous noise
they're making-and all in my tender
eardrums . . . You'd think pep assemblies were something to get excited
about, I mean, actually something. What
are they good for anyway? School spirit.
Yippee. What does it get you? You
scream yourself hoarse, clap your h:::mds
till they're red and for what? Huh . And
those cheerleaders, jumping all over,
wasting their time . Boy. A whole hour
wasted. Pep assemblies are a lot of
bunk .

From the Editor

The New Look
Notice something different about
the Challenge? More compact, maybe? New look? Well, the reason you
notice something different is that there
is something different.
The new page size makes the Challenge a little easier to handle- both
for the printer and for the binder .
You, too, will probably notice the difference in handling the single issues
and the bound copy of Challenge,
especially next June when you're
gathering autographs.
The new name, Echoes, is also part
of the new look of this year's Challenge. Since creative writing has as its
aim to share beauty, we hope that
these images and insights will echo in
your mind. A change in the Jo-Pinions
page and a new design on the front
page "Challenge" in the November
issue will complete this new look.
Students interested in writing for
the paper should contact one of the
staff members. If you feel strongly
about some subject, we invite you to
voice your opinion in a guest editorial.
We're also considering running a letters-to-the-editor column if we hear
from enough of you. Any contribution
will be appreciated, for "The Challenge," reads the masthead, "is published by the students of St. Joseph
High School."

SJHS Faculty

Adds Members
David Travanty

Cecilia Escalante, Alberto Duenas, and Marietta Homena concentrate on getting acquainted with each other between learning about SJHS, its students and faculty.

St. Joe Welcomes New Students
From Americas and Philippines
~ot one, not two, but three exchange
students are attending SJHS this year.
Ana Cecilia Escalante, 15, who is staying with Jeanne Johnson, has spoken English for only two and a half years. She
comes from San Jose, Costa Rica, where
s!1e was a drummer in the St. Clare High
School band. Her school required her to
study nine subjects a year so she thinks
school is "easier here." The Sisters at her
school all taught in English and all the
textbooks were in English, so in order to
learn anything the students had to know
English. Cecilia has an older brother and
two younger sisters, all of whom have
vacationed with their parents in Miami
previously, so this is not her first visit to
the mainland. She likes sports and especial!:· enjo: s tennis, volleyball, and swimming.
From Iloilo City, on the island of Panay
in the Philippines, comes Marietta Homena,
the guest of Kathy Kuzmich. Four brothers
and three sisters are in this 16-vear-old's
family. No uniforms are required at her
school but she thinks they "save trouble
and worrv about what dress to wear the
next day~" A favorite American duo of
~Iarietta's is ice cream and American
mo\'ies. She enjoys watching and pla:•ing
baseball.

Cardiin Art Center
Presents Display
A display of religious art sponsored by
the Cardijn Center, a Milwaukee Catholic
Action unit, will be presented at St.
Joseph's on ovember 12 through 23. Purpose of the display, according to sponsor
Sister Ritarose is "to make the students
aware of good religious art." Sister also
specifL~d that any of the articles on display
ma,· be purchased and suggested that they
would make excellent Christmas gifts. Purchase may be arranged with Sister Ritarose in 315 or 317 at any time during the
exhibit.
Another display from Alverno College,
i\Iilwaukee, will be presented during ~larch
in anticipation of the Lenten season.
Nancy Rieschl 107

Having heard about the exchange program from a cousin who was here, Alberto
Duenas, 17, of Bogota, Colombia, applied
for the exchange scholarship and was accepted. Now here at SJHS, he is studying
phYSics, algebra, history, religion and English, which he did not speak until he arrived in the U.S.
After he returns to Colombia he still has
one year of school left before he goes on
to the university to study engineering. Hif
father, who is a civil engineer, has taken
Al to the Amazon with him on one of his
excursions. He sums up his opinion of the
U.S. in one word-"Wonderful!"
Marietta and Alberto are sponsored by
the American Field Service.

SJHS'ers Travel, Study
This summer has proved to be an interesting as well as a widely traveled one by
the students of SJHS. They traveled as far
west as 1 evada and as far east as Vermont;
studies ranged from science to drama.
Jim Limbach, John Mikulsk:', and Augie
Gnorski attended the University of orthern Illinois' Summer Speech Institute.
Augie also attended the 1 ational Student
Congress held at i\fontana State Universitv at ~1issoula, ~fontana.
·Paul Wallig, Jim Limbach, Eddie Ward,
and Augie Gnorski participated in Badger
Bo:·s' State held at Ripon College in Ripon,

n::!a1 ing its climax, Augie was elected its
governor.
At Badger Girls' State, held at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Johanna
Gallo was Plected "mayor" of her dorm.
Students have also been active in several other fields. It seems that the Scm1ts
have been doing things too. Craig Murawski, Jim Limbach, Jack Soceka, John Junas,
John Landa, Frank Keefer, Ken Davis, John
Lawler, and i\Iarty Bernacchi took a canoe
trip which, tarting at Black Oak Lake and
ending near Boulder Junction, Wiscon in,
was a di tance of almost fiftv miles.
i\Iar:· i\Iarshall, ~Iichel St;e Huett!, L\'n

Gehring, ~1ary Anne Getchmann, and Sue
Polanski attended the White Deer Encampment which was centered around primitive
camping. It consisted of girls from all over
the Middle West.
Loretta Seianas, Georgene Ludwig, and
Lnm \Vade attended the largest female
stag party in histor:·-10,000 strong. It was
the Senior Scout Roundup, held at Button
Bay, Vermont, on the shores of Lake hamphtin. The e were three of the eight girls
representing Kenosha along with representatives from twenty-one foreign countries
and all fift,· states.
The field of dramatics received a great
deal of attention this summer as Johanna
Gallo, George Vena, Eddie Ward, Bernadette ~IcEvo,·, Dominic Forgianni, and
Bruno Rizzo attended classes at Marquette
University which consisted of dancing lessons taught b,· Father John \Valsh, .J ..
dramatics and· the one-act play.
Pat Kennedy studied acting and directing at Ohio tale University where she
was the only student from the Wiscon inIllinois area:
The outstanding feature of all the trips
was "meeting the wonderful kids" from all
over the counhT.

Dom t orgianni

Parking under a "no parking" sign at
Marquette University are some Marquette sudents you should know. Sister i\farie Catherine (studying English
and drama at Marquette this summer), Johanna Gallo, i: nd Eddie Ward
seem to be waiting for Dom Forgianni, Brun:> Rizzo, Tuz McEvoy, and
George Vena (the latter six studied
drama for six weeks there).

The date is Sept. 5, the time, one 407
members of the class of 1966 will never
forget-their first day of high school. The
usual confusion accompanied their arrival.
Come to think of it, we haven't really had
a chance to say, it yet: from the 905 of us
to all of you
WELCOME!

My cold, dark-drowning heart
Cried out against the loneliness within.
The black frown of unrest
Burdened my warmth-searching soul.
Now, after you
My world laughs

My heart sings
a night-peaced psalm,
My mind swells
knowledge-joyed with all you
have taught me .
No more am I drowning .
No more must I cry against loneliness .
No more must I sink in searching unrest.
No moreFor you by being have helped me
find life-love .

Majestic Mountains
There you stand,
Mighty and serene
Crowned with a majestic
Garland of star-dusted,
Heaven-dropped snow flakes.
There you stand,
Surrounded by silent,
Ever-green guards,
Drenched by silky, white loveliness,
Standing infolded by cool, white mists.
There you stand,
Lording over all,
Ever-silent, ever-reaching,
Cuddled by sun-streaked clouds,
Silhouetted on a fire-glazed sky.

At the muddy puddled lane
Where falling branches crashed.

To Be Free
To be free
to rid myself of this
glass and steel fence . . .
where the sun is a red
light saying stop ...
where flowers are found
on dresses,
their perfume
dime store bought .. .
where the bird song,
is the
angry auto-horn blare.
To be free
to romp with wild lilies
doing a sprightly dance
to a wind song ...
to drink of carbonated
brooks ... flirting with
the sun's rays,
to hear a bird,
even the callous crow caw
would be a symphony .
But no,
I c~nnot smell a
rose before it is
bott!ed.
I am caught,
caught like a fly in a
web oft. v. antennas
and telephone wires .
I cannot fly free,
free above this city
encased in its self-made
coffin of skyscrapers.

I th ink the greatest challenge for young

First, to graduate. Second, to have ourselves prepared to the fullest extent for
our place in life.
Senior Class
The thing that challenges me most today
is whether or not I will be able to grow
up with good moral principles . For as
we see today there are many pitfalls
between adolescence and maturity.
Everyday you may read or hear of
someone who foiled. In most cases this
person has had either poor parents, little
education or no faith in God. This is the
main reason I'm in school now. My
parents have done their share and are
still helping. In school I will get my
education and greater faith. I only hope
th::it I will practice what I learn and
remember it always.

The biggest challenge that I am faced
wi lh this year as a senior is one that
hits all seniors at some time. We stand
before two roads, one says "Live it ui',
this is your last year, have fun, fun,
fun." The second one says, "Senior year
will determine your being accepted or
refused into college, so sfudy, study,
study." Our futures depend on which
road we choose. Yes, this is the greatest
challenge of all.

To accomplish and to learn as much as
I can during the school year is my
greatest challenge. High school prepares
you for college and college prepares
you for the future. Your future can
either bring happiness or sadness and
now-today-is the time to acquire the
knowledge that is needed in order to1 h:J?e-bring you that happiness.

Striving to become a mature adu:t is
what challenges me most today. Developing new tastes, accepting greater
responsibilities and changing my outlook on things are all part of this challenge. This is something which faces all
of us. It must be worked for. The challenge must be met. The first step is realizing we have reached this turning
point in our lives. We no longer desire
the simple pleasures of childhood. We
are seeking more. We are fighting to
become adults.
Jill Wolslaoer 206
The idea that some day we will most

the challenge that faces me the most.
How can that be? Why aren't we content to remain on earth?

I would say that the world challenges
me most; not the world as a planet, but
as 3V2 billion i:;eople; a mass of people
daring me to exist. Every day it challenges me as to how much good I can
get out of life and living.
For instance, it dares me to develop myself mentally, to go to class, to study
and to think so that I too may advance
far enough to be a darer.
This world sees me as an in-between :
a so-called teenager, a person too old
to be a child, yet too young to be an
adult. It challenges me to take one step
toward the world as an adult. It dares
me to fall back into childhood .
Yes, the world does, this and more. It
challenges me religiously. It challenges
me to be stronger in my beliefs, to
learn more about my faith, and to live
a good Christian life .

The greatest challenge facing me today
would be living up to my parents' expectations. This may not seem like much
of a challenge to an adult but in my
opinion more is expected of teens today
than yesterday. And I would hate more
than anything to disappoint my parents,
who have worked so hard to see me
develop info an adult they can be proud
of.

Homecoming Tough fight;
Lancers Good for Win
Our Varsity squad opened the season
'' ith a 25-12 victon over Whitefish Bay
Do!1linican September 9, in a non-conference battle at Lakefront Stadium. On Septe:nber 16, the Lancers-predicted undercloe; b~· a Kenosha News sportscaster<.g.. in upset the clop sters by turning what
'' ;~ s supposed to be at least a one-touchclO\rn loss into a smashing 25-0 victor~'.
This was, incidentallv, the third shutout
game in St. Joe's football history. As far
as statistics and individual performances
were cancerned, St. John's Cathedral was
hard!~· in the game. The Eagles from }.'filw.mkee barely dented St. Joe's territory;
their deepest penetration was to the 30' :lrd line.

The Lancers' defense proved more than
a match for the Cathedral backs, who
found the Lancers playing in their backfi ' Id as much as themselves. Pinpoint passing and excellent pass reception helped to
keep Cathedral's defense from getting set
and containing St. Joe's attack. All-around
alertness made this one of the most thrilling games in Lancer histor~'.
St. Joe's will meet rugged J\Iemorial of
Waukesha in the Homecoming game next
Sunday. Memorial's win thr e \'ears agoat Homecoming-could be the inspiration
for another Lancer win . Confidence. determination, and able coaching combine to
predict a positive outlook for Sundm·'s

'Big Job ... Few Men'
When the fall winds start reddening
cheeks and the leaves fal l from trees. the
perennial question arises at St. Joe's: \Vhy
don't more bo~·s go out for football?
Ever since football was initiated at St.
Joe's there has been a poor turnout of likPlv
prospects. At the present time th re are 28
players listed on the Varsit.' rester; Coach
Carbone states that the Varsit\' "is a few
men doing a big job." At J\Iarcjuette High.
lOS bcl\ s are out for fresh!T'an football; E.')
are co~peting for spots on the Varsit.'.
Quite a difference.
One reason could be that the boys aren't
acquainted with organized football in grade
school. To counteract this, a touch football
league has been set up.
An impartial source stated that he
thought "kids nowadays are living softer
and their recreation is softer. Thev don't
like to get bruised or bumped and. an unhealthy percentage of them can't even pass

Some said the first game of the season
1v;.s going to be a snap. Dominican was
supposed to be a pushover, and everyone
was fairlv confident of a victory . Dominican
put up ,{ good fight in that non-conference
game, but th Lancers beat them 25-12.
W ere they really a snap or was the team
on the ball?
When the second game rolled around
everyone was hopeful, but I doubt that
anyone expected to see a game played with
such fight and fire. Within two minutes
Cass passed to Lesnik for a touchdown.
The team showed energy that had not been
seen so consistently in the previous game.
From that first play to the sound of the
horn the team fought and won together.
Since then, the team has tightened up
its discipline even more. Added manpower
-Herrman, Gorecki, Gabron, to name three
- may provide new reserves for the Varsit\
squad. Nobody thinks Sunday's game will
be anything near a pushover-least of all.
Memorial. But we know now that our
Lancers have the potential to put up a
good fight-courage, energy, determination.
They have the power and the will to win.
IL's up to us to support them to victor~' ·

A third possibilit~· is lack of sacrifice.
fany players of potential come out and
quit because the~ · can't be the first string
or stars. The' don't realize it takes "ork
and sweat just to participate.
Is this unresponsiveness due to ph' sical
wcaknes:; or moral decay? Aren't American
youth today willing to sacrifice, to hurt
themselves, to discipline mind and bochfor some goal?
Since President Kennedy stressed physical conditioning after the first series of
physical fitness tests, there has been a
general emphasis on physical conditioning.
For St. Joseph's future football teams, at
least numericall~', I hope it means an increase in interested prospects .

Target: The Corruptors
Jenkin Lloyd Jones, who so frankly
exposed the moral decay in America, has
given us the picture of our future-the
fall of Rome, with the Dark Ages before
the sunrise-but how will this dawn come
about if we, the people, who are mostly
concerned, do not help it?
We must take the example of the
fathers of our American constitution and
decide not just to amend our weak ways
but to throw out the whole vine of barren
rules and set up a whole new trellis on
which our morals can grow .
This may take time, and it's a fact that
the deeper you dig, the more dirt you
get. Together, with unceasing effort, we
can root out and expose the worms at
the cause of the moral decline.
One of these worms is lack of discipline. Freedo m is abused to a nauseating
extent. The freedom of press is causing
corruption in printing such novels and
advertisements as mentioned by Mr.
Jones. Magazines in every corner drug
store may be promoting sales; but what
about the unhappy results when the
young reader thinks as he reads, "So
this is what life's all about-v iolence,
sensation, and disorders. That's for me!"
And look out world, for Red Rover, let
Charlie, or Susie, or Tommy come over
to add to our sinking pleasure boat.
On the other hand-way on the other
hand- there are persons striving to keep
their heads above the swirling fads and
drowning maliciousness of the undertow.
If enough get on a raft of truth and
meaning, they can pull up the world by
its bootstraps and drift toward that
sunrise.
What do you think?

Freshmen, You're
All eyes are on freshmen. These eyes
are planted behind lecterns; they are
peeping from around corners. A pair
might be found casting furtive glances
from behind a library book. Some are
even disguised in a black and white
habit. But all are focused on frosh more
than on any other class because each
freshman has a wonderful quality all
his own, a sincere and puzzling-sometimes mischievous-bewilderment toward
high school life.
To you, freshmen, this year new and
exciting personalities will be processed
and developed into a picture of a unique
individual.

•

Focus~

The eyes, disguised as teachers, ha ve
attentions focused on study habits which
affect you as a student. Furtive glances
migh t find you and label you as specimen for a future leader, striving to maintain high ideals at St. Joe's. The faculty
will observe the reflections on their spectacles of your attitudes and interests .
You, freshmen, are victims of can did
cameras in forms of upperclassmeri,
sophomores and faculty . But remembe r,
be yourself! Cheer up! You are a fre shman only once, so cherish and enjoy it.
Watch those corners for peeping perso ns
because, freshmen, " You're in focus! "
Cathy Harrington 214

What Is It?
Not long ago, an "It" came to our
school. Now, you ask, "What's an It?"
Well, my friend, "It" is a very special
machine, very special indeed.
"It" did not arrive pre-fabricated
from the factory, but in separate, little
mobile pieces that function individually
but not as a unit. Each of these pieces
had to be fitted in place with the others
as they arrived .
But our engineers, those who planned
and chose which pieces would go into
the machine, were, by no means, experts. Some liked the blue wheel,
others the green. One engineer preferred the long cogs to the short, blunt
ones. When put together, they sometimes squeaked or "jammed" because
they were new and needed "oiling."
Consequently, for lack of efficient parts,
the machine now is almost useless.
Poor "It" is either running out of gas
or stopping for repairs. What little work
is done could easily be accomplished
manually by a few capable people.
Perhaps the most
iron -1c thing
about this machine is that students
know who "It" is and what "It" is,
but don't give two hoots how it is.
They reason: "It's there, ergo, It
must be necessary."
What is "It"?

Every work that we do should be a
part of the Christ forming in us which
is the meaning of our life; to it we
must bring the patience, the self-giving ,
the time of secrecy, the gradual growth
of Advent.
This Adven t in work applies to all
work, not only that which produce s
something
permanent in time but
equally to the making of a carving in
wood or stone or of a loaf of bread .
It applies equally to the making of a
poem and to the sweeping of a floor .
It is not only in work, in the realization of Faith , and in conscious prayer
that we need the season of Advent;
we need it in suffering, in joy, and in
thought.
We live in an age of impatience, an
age which in everything, from lea rning the ABC to industry, tries to cut out
and do away with the natural season
of growth. That is why so much in our
life is abortive.
In the seasons of our Adven twaking,
working,
eating,
sleeping ,
being - each breath is a breathing of
Christ into the world.

Five, four, three, two, one-t~.e countdown of davs was over and the freshmen
rocketed off into two new projects.
The first introduced the freshmen to

Along with acquaintance with the goals,
means, and aims of Sodalit_y through homeroom discussions, freshmen received invitations to Sodality meetings and activities.

In our jet-age, push-button world,
ostentation, purple robes, and massive
golden jewels h:::ive long gone out together with the George Ill fan club
in America. The key word today is
sim p ici:y. Modern taste is reflected in
our various art forms.
We do not want to look at a picture
of a city with beggars and overturned
trash cans in alleys or millions of differently detailed people. Because of our
fast-paced living, and because awful
reality is given a pleasant form, we
would rather look at a large blue bac'<ground with various shapes along the
bottom. If this work were entitled SKYLINE, we would enjoy it even more; it
would be not only p leasing to the eye
but meaningful as well.
The above example is a degeneration
by no means, for it takes t rue talent and
much study to condense something of
suc h magnitude and still retain purport.
In art, comp lexity is often considered a
3

vice becau se it detracts attention fro m
the main body.
Talent required of the artist is more
mental than manual. The real artistry
lies in conceiving the idea and arranging
it with pleasing and effect ive composition . A promising young artist is taught
the basic tech niques and arrangement
and yet at the same time he is encouraged to be himself and to express his
creativeness and, above all, his originality . This originality portrays both material and non-material things and takes
various forms on canvas.
To truly appreciate and enjoy an
artist's work, it is requisite that we
know something of technique and composition and - very important- a little of
t he artist's background. We must also get
to know how the artist thinks . Knowing
all this, we will be able to discover logic
in color, shape, and title in the abstract
work done by an artist who has truly
mastered this phase of creation.

Rea Cross Aia Projects
The folks out at St. Joseph's Home tor
the Aged seem to enjoy the help offered
b: t. Joe students. About a ~·ear ago Red
Cross volunteers began going out to the
Home, doing "odd jobs," serving meals to
patients, and visiting with residents.
First groups included mostly girls, says
Sister Luke, Red Cross moderator, but "the
mal SJHS population has recentl: decided
to show the world that it, too, is capable
of great things."
Sister's final comment on Red Cross participation suggested that "anyone who
doesn't think much of teenagers should
take a look at \\hat groups like these a re

bus to Lakefront Stadium.

After: The game ended in a marvelou victory, so naturally the crowd
had to congratulate the team. Here "civilians" John Grno and Jehn
Mauser help Jim Bernacchi, Dennis Connolly, and Gary Peter en lift

A Waterfall
Chanti I ly rippled waters
Bouncing, babbling
Over pearly pebbles
Blissful bubbles
Darting to and fro
Plunging into black-beady ink.
Then frolicking gaily
Madly away
Toward a sparkling starlit stream.

These be
Three colorful things:
A silver stream winding through white

A blue-black silhouette against the
desert-gold ray of sun,
A green-crested wave on a rainbow
pebbled beach.
Ann Zohlen 206

You are to me as the deep, silent sea,
Restful, like the gently lapping rollers,
Mysterious as the azure waters
Whose depths like your depths go on
endlessly.
You are to me like the swift, surging sea,
Mighty, defiant, slashing at boulders
With tireless strength towering powers,
W ith splash-spray reaching a boundless
degree.
Then your power spouts in me till I seem
To be caught in your combers, swept
away
l;i a torrent where we become one.
We roll on together in our sea dream,
Rippling the silence of a sandy bay,
Seeping and surging till sea flow is done.

Slash, mash, bashed-help-crash work

Despair, despair, downtrodden me, I'll

Oh what a tangle; think, someone help

Time-faster-no; sleep-awake;-a cool

This ("Sonnet"??) writing tortuous to me.
Coleridge, opium, I now condone.
But for beer, opium, what?-l'd be glad.
Stringy, school, schmesz, mess-failure,
Doom . Oh moan.
Tremors, tortures; Re-writing?-no-egad !
Under the influence, under the sea,
Without thought, without sleep, for me
it's "Zeeee."

A silence falls across the desert sand;
The one slim needle pierces the blue sky.
Suspense is watchword as the scanning

Observe the tension of this arid land.
As suddenly a screaming din resounds,
The flaming spindle reaches up for
height.
It climbs with power into the endless
night;
It circles thrice, then soars down, homeward bound.

Who says St. Joe's students are vegetarians??? Paul Safransky, Thomas DeFazio, John
Flammang, Gregory Brinkman, Daniel Selear, and Joseph Doksus don't seem to be!

Sound Waves

Cafeteria Sprouts Vegetarians
Once in a far-off land called Cafeteria
there sat two students. They were of that
barbaric race called vegetarians because
th y refused to eat anything that was not
government surplus.
They refused all meat, hamburger and
hot dog buns, catsup, and mustard because
they were bought commercially and were
not government surplus. They did not
know what wholesome, nourishing, delicious food they were passing up.
No one could persuade them to eat more
than the three to five items a month sent
to St. Joe's by the government; so they continued to eat fruit and vegetables topped
with butter (yum-yum).

From the Crew
Xine veterans, six seniors and three
juniors, head the stage crew this year under
the leadership of Earl Hartung. In charge
of sound is John Mikulsky, and Augie
Gnorski operates the light panel.
For their initiation, the 14 new recruits
were "allowed" to clean out the prop room.
According to Sister Francis Xavier, stage
crew moderator, they did a beautiful job.

Science Department Adds Equipment
St. Joe's Science Department recently
purchased several new pieces of equipment.
Among them are four movie wall screens
for use in science rooms 319, 322, 323,
and 324.
An oscilloscope, used to graph changes
in a current or voice wave by showing it
as a wavv line on a fluorescent screen, will
be used .in physics. Two sets of scales are
also intended for use in physics classes.
A model torso will enrich ph:·siology
and biology studies.
Experimentation, not decoration, explains
the addition of two biology planters, which
are actually heated greenhouses . Plant
growth is observed in various stages.
Because biology, chemistry, and ph:'sics
curricula are undergoing a change, the
Science Department has announced that
there will be no science fair at St. Joseph
this year. Sister Stanisia, Science Department chairman, urges students interested
in preparing a project for the regional fair
at Mary Bradford High School to contact
their respective teachers as soon as possible. Dates for the regional fair will be
announced later.

Cagers Seek First Division
Basketball has come upon the athletic
scene at St. Joe's again. The team expects
to win its share of games.
Lettermen Forgianni, Hamilton, or Mauser will likelv fill the shoes of two starters
that graduated, Bob Agazzi and Tom
Bonell. The other three starters, Captain
Tom Regner, Mike Cass-the leading scorer
and most valuable player-and junior
Da1my Hughes will be back to give the
conference a rough time.

Matmen Working,
Seek Third Crown

Roll out the mats! The Lancer grapplers'
fourth season is on its way and the prospect of a terrific season is in the air.
Coach Frank Matrise's bovs, undefeated
state champions for two consecutive years,
are hoping to add considerably to their 25
straight victories.
Leading the Lancer team will be our
two state champions, undefeated senior

With hard work the team is expected to
make the first division. Coach Radigan
plans to utilize fast breaks, good team
speed, and sound rebounding to win games.
With added tall juniors Molinaro, Mars,
and Lesnik, all six-footers, the team should
have better rebounding strength, which
will increase over all effectiveness.
The old split conference was recently
dissolved; this year there are 13 teams
comprising the new conference. There are
20 games all )'ear: 16 conference games
and four non-conference foes-Waterford,
Beloit Catholic, St. Marv's, and the
alumni.

fh e football season has drawn lO ·1 close.
Th e games have been phi) eel, hut as I
write this article everyone is wondering
about the last two games of the season.
Our Homecoming game was one that
will. not be forgott~n by the ~ch,?ol, ~te,~
monal, or a certa111 someones fearless
column. It was touch and go for the first
three quarters. In the last four minutes of
the game Gorecki rolled through for a
touchdown. The team seemed to have new
strength and pushed on for another touchdown to make the score 12-0 in favor of
St. Joe's. The crowd went wild and am·one who had left the game earl)· regretted
it afterward.
This has been one of the most successful football seasons in St. Joe's history,
not because of an individual but because
of team effort. Our congratulations to the
coaches and the team for successful and
well-played football games.
Vena 113

Freshman Fighters
Anyone who has been out behind the
school knows that we haven't been playing touch football. Yes, the freshmen have
learned some of the fundamentals.
Our best strength was in the backfield.
The line held up well also, but injuries
plagued om team this year. We weren't
too successful this season, but we showed
a great degree of progress and we hope
for a new and better outlook next year.
Mike Montemurro 308

Sophs Show Promise
The sophomore football team, with Mr.
Fischer as their coach, have scampered to
keep peace with the Varsity. Remaining
undefeated, these boys have shown great
promise as future Varsity material. They
have defeated Dominican, Cathedral, Don
Bosco, and Messmer en route to the conference championship. These boys have
shown the spirit and drive it takes to win ,
and all we can sav is keep up the good

C/oseJ Clubs
One of the most important needs of
a high school student is the need to
belong and to be identified with a group
or crowd . All of us are in some way
identified with a group, justifiably or
not. Some students in their need for
companionship and good times form
clubs so that their scope of enjoyment
is widened .
From the view of the insider the
closed club is the greatest thing that has
happened in high school history. After
all, where else could he get the companionship and fun that he gets in a
closed club?
For a girl the problem of being left
out is more acute than for boys. If she
is not in a closed club she is left out of
a lot of fun, and soon she wonders just
why she isn't in the club . Since there
are more outsiders than club members,
hard feelings soon arise and often one
gets the impression that the majority of
students are opposed to closed clubs.
Belonging to a club isn't as important
to boys as to girls, even though there
are several closed clubs for boys. To
be in one of them the prime requirement
is that you be an athlete and popular
enough to receive a two-thirds vote.
The main objective of the closed club
is to have a good time and friendships
unavailable outside the club . In theory,
then, the closed clubs are fine teenage
organizations, but in reality you will always have those people in the club
who by their attitude toward non-members cause hard feelings.

Only Human
It is late afternoon . A group of St.
Joe's girls stand talking on the front
steps.
"Say ... how did you like the answer
Bob gave in history class?" screams a
high-pitched voice .
"Do-a-a-a, I don't know. Do-a-a,
thought it was pretty good," comes a
low voice deliberately slow.
There follows a shriek of laughter

Wheeled Riot
We all have heard the screeching 01
brakes and the thunder of speeding
students' cars before and after school
or any event held at school. This seems
to be the main complaint of the people
who live in the surrounding area. These
people seem to think our only way of
letting out our tensions is to break every
traffic law possible. These are the people
who hold the school responsible for all
our actions.
But we, the students, are responsible
for the name we create for our school
and for all teenagers. We all know we
sometimes catch ourselves speeding, but
can forgetfulness be an excuse every
time? We must agree that it is better to
restrain ourselves than to have an officer
politely telling us to hand over our
license.
If we all were just a slight bit more
cautious, these complaints should turn
into compliments. Certainly if we have
to release tensions there are better places
than behind the wheel, such as sports
or debate. But if we have to drive fast
and recklessly, let's do it on one of the
race tracks- not on the city streets and
certainly not near St. Joe's .

heard by everyone . . . maybe even by
Bob.
Just what is it that allows us to laugh
at something that would nauseate any
normal person within earshot? Say the
words to yourself: mock, taunt, jeer.
Not too pleasant are they? Neither are
people who do it. When someone asks
why we do these things, from the fourth
row, third seat, comes the lame excuse ,
"Well, we're only human like eve ry one else."
Only human . . . like everybody else

Out of the Mailbag

Best Picture of the Month

Dear Editor,

I'm sure the whole school hos found the "Out
of the Mailbag" column very interesting. It hos
given us o real chance to express our own opinions.
But so for it seems that only sophomores hove
token odvontoge of this opportunity. What hap·
pe ned to t he "youthfu lly ex ube rant" fr eshm e n, the
"thinki ng" jun io rs, a nd the "exem plQ.ry" sen io rs?
Isn't ou r paper o pe n to eve ryon e? Maybe so, but I
suppose we sophomores will lead in this column
just like we do in EVERYTHING ELSE.

Dear Editor,
In regard to the article, "Music Clubs Hold
Officer Elections" in the November issue, o cor·
rection should be made. Because of a program
change, the president of the Symphonettes is now
Patricia Willems and not John Lowler, as mentioned in the article. Thank you.

Dear Editor,
I think we could improve the school paper if
we didn't hove so many poems. Most people aren't
that interested in poetry onywoy. If we want to
read poems, we ca n always go ta the libra ry. Th is
is a high school paper, not a literary journal.

That's just how easy he mode it sound. W hy don't
you have o feature article on what it tokes to

Dear Editor,
In your recent article, "What Is It?" I agree
with you to the fullest extent. A student council
should be an organization to express the thoughts

improved if the studen ts th emse lves would t oke

Dear Editor,
In response to an article in the November issue
of our school paper, I hove this comment to make.
The article that was written to the editor stated
that Ring Doy doesn't mean a thing to the SENIORS.
The underclassmen are qu ite wrong here. It means
a lot to us. It shows th :.t we' ve finally made it
through school , and we 've earned our Cl c:ss Ring
and the right to be called Upp e r Classm e n. We're
PROUD of our Class of 1963 .
We SENIORS ore not little children. We don't
go running around saying, "Woo-woo, look, we
got our Class Ring!" When we got our class rings,
we all grew up o little, knowing that at that time
we were Uppe r-C lossmen.
J ust because th e school paper doesn't print it up
big, and the Senior Class doesn't run a round like
idiots, doesn't mean that we're not proud of our
Class or Ring Doy.
We SENIORS ore proud that we ore UP PERCLASSMEN; ond just remember, someday you'll be
SENI O RS ond you won't w ont any UNDER-C LASS·
MEN to run down o big d ay of yours, such os
Ring Doy.

'Serious" discussion was led by Rev. Thomas Adams at recent AIG meeting.

AIG Members
Pass 50 Mark
"In a constant state of Bux," the
Apostolate Information Group is alreadv
"passing the fifty mark."
The AIG now has, as a result of this
mushrooming membership, three group
directors. Each group studies a specific
world area. Sister Consolata will direct
the students interested in Africa, the
Peace Corps, and other apostolic groups
working in Asia and Africa. Sister Phyllis
heads the group on home missions, Southmission, and other apostolate groups in
our own country, such as those working
with the Negroes, Indians, and the poor.
Sister Columcille moderates the group interested in Latin America, PAVLA (Papal
Volunteers for Latin America) , exchange
students, and other mission groups working in Latin America.
The three groups enjoy the same fivefold immediate aims:
To learn-about the people and their
needs in places that members are interested in.
To teach-others about AIG and what
it is doing.

New Music Man Sparks SJHS Band
Playing with Glenn Miller's band during
the Korean War is only one of Mr. John

To help-the people about whom they
study in any way they can.
To love-God and his people, whom
they are going to help.
To pray-for grace, insight, understanding, and divine help in the work.
Each group has a chairman and meets
regularly; the entire group meets monthly
to share and coordinate under one slate
of officers.
"I think this is going to develop into a
dynamic, intelligently active group," says
Sister Columcille. "The calibre of the
members predicts good results."
Members of the AIG attended a Catholic Students Mission Crusade meeting at
Mercy High School Nov. 29, because the
aims of CSMC are related to their own.
Sister feels that through the knowledge
and motivation gained in AIG, many of
these students will later join the Peace
Corps, PAVLA, South mission , and other
apostolic groups.

ANOTHER DANCE
by Rich (savoy
The moon was still bright and full
as I walked outside the dance hall for a
cigarette. It would be a shame to let a
beautiful night like this go by. It would
be a waste, too, I thought, if I went home
and went to sleep on such a gorgeous and
heavenly night.
1 ight time was alwavs something extra
special, rather than just plain darkness.
To me it was kind of crazy. It just attracted me a mighty lot. It can't be explained, at least not by me. Ask :rourself
how light can be the same as dark. You
see people all around during the day,
why not at night? Why is it warm and
cheer:' during the day, and cool and sometimes foreboding at night? ight is nuts
to me, so I get out and look for nutty

things. I may be insane, but what better
idea is there than to follow my wants
and desires?
·
The loudspeaker in the hall broke my
thoughts. The last dance was announced.
Hurriedly I went back inside to find someone to dance with. I stood there, looking
for a girl, when someone tapped me on
the shoulder.
"Would you like to dance?" a girl asked.
Her sweet voice still lingers in my
memory. In all mv life I never saw a smile
like hers. Her eyes were smiling too. She
was very pretty.
"Sure," I said. "There's nothing in the
world that could stop me right now."
We talked as we danced. I told her how
I felt about night time. Then I told her

TWO DOUGHNUTS
by Mary Jane Cox
The small bov lav there like a shadow
on the snowbank, ~hile the others went
on. All that is, except one-Frankie. Frankie
tugged at little Moses, stood him upright,
then said, "Come on, Little Moses, we need
you."
"The other kids don't want me though.
They pushed me in that ol' snowbank
there. They think they're the only ones
who can sing pretty."
"But I don't think that," said Frankie,
pushing his blond hair out of his eyes.
"I know," Little Moses sniffed.
"Tell ya what, Little Moses," Frankie
straightened out his overcoat. "Let's go
'round to all the houses and sing Christmas
carols by ourselves." Little Moses gave a
whoop of agreement and the two boys
plowed on through the snow, stopping at
every house to sing "Silent Night"-the
onlv one thev knew from start to finish.
At 'each house, too, they waited hoping to
receive the customary cocoa and doughnut.
With mouths watering and e;es eager they
were ignored at every house but one, where
a rather prim housemaid said, "Sorry, but
the other carolers were here some time
ago and ate us out of house and home."
Then she politely closed the door in the
boys' faces.
"Why don't you go catch up with the
other guys, Frankie. You'll never get any
doughnuts with a blacl boy!"
"Oh, get off it, will ya, Little Moses?
Let's try this big green house! Wow, look
at their Christmas tree!"
Later, still singing, and still uninvited,
the boys went on through the night. "I
feel like Mary and Joseph," Little Moses

whimpered, then added, "Nobody cared
about them either. All I want is a
doughnut."
"All I want is a big brown doughnut,"
drooled Frankie.
"Ya, with a hole it in," dreamed Little
Moses.
"And it would smell like a whole bakery
all by itself!"
"Ya, and it would have a hole in it, so
that you can hold it better."
Finally the big church clock nearby
struck ten, and the small bovs went their
own ways home, knowing that even though
their "bottoms" were different colors,
they'd both soon enough be tanned!
After his paddling, what a surprise
Frankie had when finally his nose thawed
out. "Are those doughni:its I smell?"
"You're darn right," his mother said,
then snapped, "and see to it that you keep
your little fingers off them 'ti! morning,
because you only get two. Your brothers
want some, too, vou know." His mother was
giving him good. warning.
Frankie wasn't listening to his mother,
for his mind had taken a quick journey over
to the other side of town into a small
shack, where a small black boy would
be lying on his stomach dreaming of
doughnuts.
Late that same night, if anyone had
looked out of his window, he would have
caught a glimpse of a small boy in pajamas
and overcoat, carrying a small brown bag.
Early the next morning, a small black
boy found a bag within which lay two
doughnuts-one thickly covered with chocolate frosting, the other with white-and
each with a hole in it.

I was going to stay out all night.
"Won't you get killed when you get
home?" she asked me in a concerned
voice.
"Sure. It happens every time, but I don't
care; they can't take anything away from
me."

" ight time is special to me, too," she
smiled.
Bv this time the dance was over and
the ·music ended, but I didn't realize it
until somebody bumped into me. Back in
mv normal mind, I asked her if I could
walk her home. She agreed, so we walked
and talked and watched the moon O\·erhead. The night seemed lovelier and lowlier
with each step. Before I knew it we \\·ere
at her house. Time really rolled while I
was with her. It seemed .like five minutes
ago that we were dancing. On top of it
all, she lives two miles from the dance. I
must be going crazy.
We talked on her front steps for a while.
She was really wonderful to me. She told
me to call her the next dav; then she
said goodnight. I said goodnight and walked
away talking to myself and dreaming.
"I haven't felt like this since I was born.
:Man, what a bright moon!"
I pulled out the cigarette, lit it, took a
deep drag. Then when I was able to \\'alk
again, I marvelled at the deserted streets.
Why, I asked myself, why aren't people
out enjoying these hours? Poor miserable
creatures don't know how to enjoy themselves, I guess.
I would have run out of numbers if I
had counted all the streetlights I walked
under. I didn't know whether I was coming
or going.
First light came quickly to me and I
started legging for home.

In a Quiet Wwld
The last light of day drifts beyond the
earth,
And a warm western wind blows free
and calm.
It heals man with a healthy balm
As if meant to relax and bring mirth.
The world's so silent in a quiet lull,
That many a soul would never think
Of what has happened in a brief blink
Of an eye. This we must ponder and mull.
A man may die, a fire may devastate,
And

may

destroyed.
Is there a thing, if not life, that man
holds dear?

Canine Christmas
HUMANS are queer. Most of them are
mad, and those that aren 't are well on
their way. What brings me to this
conclusion?
My first suspicions were formed seven
months ago when I was a frisky, healthy
pup. Those crazy human females would
come up to me and exclaim "how cute"
and would pick me up, squeeze me, and
half suffocate me with their hugging
and kissing .
But what really confirmed my suspicions were a couple of events which
started two weeks ago when my master
brought home a pine tree. A pine tree!!
Can you imagine? This clearly proved
they were mad because you can't plant
a pine tree in the middle of winter . But
this posed no problem . They just hauled
it into the house and planted it in a
pot!!!
But you haven't heard anything yet.
The humans weren't satisfied with having a tree blossoming in the middle of
the living room. No, they had to decorate
it. They hurried downtown and purchased long, silvery stuff and draped it
on the tree. Then they hung glass bulbs
on it! (I know they were glass because
I broke one and it shattered into a million pieces.) After that they decorated
it with lots of colored lights linked together with licorice whips.
Not that I'm against lights or licorice
whips, but when you try to eat the licorice (which tastes like burnt rubber) and
you get slapped for it, that's when I
object.

May He
May every person who comes in contact with me get some good from it, or
a kind thought, or something beautiful.
May he hear a sweet song coming
through the sky and may he seek into
the mountains and across the plains and
find what he is seeking for; and may
he become strong and firm, and when
he looks into the vast unknown may he
think life is worthwhileAnd the white flowers of courage
bring him a sweeter love.

As I lay in my dog bed last night
trying to get some shuteye, I heard an
awful racket. When I went to investigate, I saw a fat man, dressed in red,
stuck in the chimney. He had really
flipped his lid!! He told me that he was
some kind of a jerk called Santa Claus.
After I pulled him out, he placed a lot
of packages under the tree and proceeded to climb back up the chimney!!
(Through some miracle he made it.)
As I said before, humans are queer;
very, very queer.

Like I was playing my bongo bel ls
to help me get into the Christmas spirit
when I decided that I'd trot down to the
cafe for some espresso. I ordered it to
go because the big-daddy who owns the
cafe was saying Christmas poems and
like- mine are better .
As I walked home, people kept staring at me like they were sorry for me,
and some even put coins into my cup .
Man, like all that dirty money contaminated a good cup of coffee! "Like, my
overcoat is red, but this is way-out!"
I said to myself. But people kept right
on, and, to top it all off, they would
say, "Merry Christmas, Santa." So I
went along with it for a while and answered, "Like-ho, ho, people ."
I was having a blast until I tripped
over this fat old cat sitting in the snow .
I said, " Like ho ho, cat."
"Beat it, buster," he yelled . "You 're
hoggin' the business." Now like I don't
fight on Christmas Eve, and my feelings
were as low as the espresso on the
snow, so I handed him the cup-(not full
of espresso- but money) and walked
away. I was so sad that like my beard
was even limper than usual .
I arrived at my pad; empty; no espresso, no nothing . I turned on the light
switch and, like man I must be dreaming. The whole joint was rockin! My best
buddies were there . "New bongos for
everybody!" Somebody yelled-and who
do you think it was? "Fat cat" as I
would call him.

In 1963 the basic changes will occur
in our independence and our responsibilities. With each passing year, we
become more mature, and evolve a
broader state of independence-a greater
degree of "freedom." Through an increase in this commodity, we will be
able to cope more inf1uentially with the
problems and privileges of adult society.

··-: ·"·

However, with each increase in our freedom will come a greater demand for
"'
responsibility; we must be able to limit ::..~''.'
the extravagance of our new-found
freedom.
These then are the major changes of
'63, to do with as we will. If we use
these qualities for our benefit, without
abusing them, the year 1963, and all
years henceforth, shall hold for us a
richer meaning.

Where do you look for changes in 1963?

Joe Miksis 105

For the change in '63, I look for a
better promotion in school spirit and a
better improvement for ourselves.
Kathy Fischbach 213

In 1963 I will look for a change in the
family lives of Americans. In the past
quarter-century, the family has grown
apart. Now, with the true threat of war
and ever-feared danger, the family
should become, once again, a close,
loving unit of security. This is one of
our strongest defenses and what the
Russians fear most.

John Skirmuntas 326

I hope to find the biggest change of 1963
right here at St. Joe's. We now have a
student population of 1500. But that's
all we are: 1500 individual students
who rarely, if ever, work as a group. If
we ever hope to become the student
body of St. Joe's, rather than just the
student population, we'll have to start
cooperating in every possible way. More
cooperation with the faculty and among
ourselves is the biggest and best change
I could look for in 1963.
Augie Gnorski 113

I hope that the school becomes bigger
and better with each passing year, so
that when we are seniors, we may be
the upperclassmen of the best school in
Wisconsin, which everyone in the state
will know, recognize, and look up to .

In 1963 there will be a great change in
St. Joseph High School when that wonderful class of '63 graduates. The
change, of course, will be for the worse.
Jean Zimmerman 113

Michael Laskis 307

The calendar.

Not at St. Joe's; they give demerits for
that.

The change I look for in 1963 is in
athletics at St. Joseph. I feel athletics
has finally come into its own at our
school. The boys are tired of losing and
have it in their minds that nothing can
stop them. It takes a lot of school spirit
and plenty of initiative to put out all the
time and effort that is involved in putting
a team on the battle field. I only hope
the student body will support the new
spirit that has arisen.

I don't think there will be that many
drastic changes in 1963, which is only
a month away. What I mean is in outward signs such as political, agricultural,
or even cars.
What I do think is that there will be
changes in the minds of people all over
the world to kindness, humanitarianism
and so on. People are finally realizing
how virtuous and necessary it is to love
God and do his works for His glory as
well as their own satisfaction.
I have love for God in my heart and I
know how pleasant it is to serve Him .
But I am only one. There must be more
people with a much greater love . The
best time to start realizing that is now.

Lee Necker 227

I think changes in '63 should come in
the relationship between teenagers and
adults. No one side should have to do
all the changing but this must be a give
and take proposition. Teenagers should
calm down and bring their pace of
living to 50 m.p.h., but then adults
must also realize the energy teenagers
have and their own feelings and crazy
antics when they were that age.

they make the changes.

Latin Lad Flips for Progress
At St. Joe's the dead language hasn't just
turned over in its grave. It's been rejuvenated to stay via the atural Method.
1st Latin Student: "Fellow Latin student,
rejoice! You needn't commit suicide or go
to the bottle any longer."
Typical Latin Student: "You mean . . . "
1st Latin Student: " o, thev haven't discontinued the language; ·the Natural
Method has arrived."
Typical Latin Student: "Hurrav, huzzah,
·
huzzah, hurray."
1st Latin Student: "Yea, big deal, you
don't even know what it's all about."
Typical Latin Student: "All right, tell
me. It can't be anv worse."
1st Latin Stu'dent: " ot long ago,
Father G. Most devised his 'natural
method' of teaching Latin. Through it we
learn the language much the same as we
did English. This way's not half as hard
and we learn just as much, if not more,
than by the old way. That isn't so bad,
is it?"
Typical Latin Student: "Well, ah, what
about, ah, declensions and conjugations?"

1st Latin Student: "The\ 're dealt with
in an entirely different way, in a gradual
sequence, little by little. Well, anywa:,
what say thou about the :\atural ~tethod?"
Typical Latin Student: "Well, ah, I'd
say ... Hey, there's Fred, see ya around."
(depart)
Typical Latin Student: (alone around
corner) "Maybe it is what he says. I hope
so. I think I should give it a try an> wa.\ ."
The atural Ylethod HAS arrived at St.
Joe's and it IS everything stated in the
dialogue. i o big let-down, no one-way
ticket, nothing but "acre Latinum" (sharp
Latin). What's more, it has paid rich
dividends in increased comprehension and
translation. Perhaps most commendable,
however, about the program has been, not
the atural Method itself, but the attitude
of the students toward it. This has been
one of determination and openmindedness
-two elements of ultimate necessity for
the studv of Latin.
Behold the "new deal" of the dead language, the atural ~Iethod.

We ought to let everything grow in

Christmas
Counterpoint
"O come, all ye faithful, joyful and
triumphant." These jubilant words can be
heard, throughout the entire Christmas
season, from snow-frosted countrv churches
to the big, snow-paralyzed ind~strial city,
and to any place where people have the
Christmas spirit. The meaning of these
words is universal. Thev are an invitation
extended to all, regardless of creed or
race, to attend the birthdav celebration
of a king-Christ the King. ·
But out of the frostv, bitter darkness
come other words. The~e words bleat of
imprisonment and restraint.
"But I can't com ; not the crib, not the
stable, nor even the church shall I see,"
the voice trembles.
We think, "Is this person shackled in
the darkness of some dungeon?" Our thinking is interrupted by the same voice, this
time a plea.
"Please help me, someone . . . ? anyone
. . . ? By myself, I am unable; but with
help, just a little, I can . . . , I can do it!
0 please please someone help a poor,
shut-in cripple, such as I to get to church
on the birthday of a King," the voice
begged.
Again we think, "Is there no one who
could find a little love in his heart, and
time in his da;· to help one less fortunate
during this season of 'good will'? Do we
spread cheer or covet it? Is someone waiting for our h Ip?"

21-24.
A smash Broadway hit in 19.57 and later

FEBRUARY,

College-Bound?

Because so man~ · scholarships go unnoticed each year, Challenge is beginning
herewith a series of articles on available
scholarships. Four of these are offered b~
J;;:enosha organizations.
On!~· one SJHS student applied last year
for the "40 et 8," an award given through
the American Legion. Am girl wishing to
go into nursing ma~ · appl~·; deadline for
applications is April 1. Finalists will receh·e a scholarship of $720, or $20 per
month for three years.
Another local award is the Campbell
scholarship, made available by ~fr. Thomas
Campbell through American Motors. To
c1ualify, one must be the child of an
American :\1otors employee. One $500
scholarship is available to a St. Joseph
student; application can be made through
Re,·. Leslie A. Darnieder and Rev. Edmund
'''· Ollev.
The Chamber of Commerce awards a
$200 scholarship in the business field.
Qualifications are interest in business and
an acceptable scholastic record. ames of
eligible students are sent in by Father
Darnieder to the Commerce committee for
fmther consideration.
Last year Local 72 of the United Auto
Worker; awarded a $250 scholarship. Requirements included (1) a parent's membership in the Local, and (2) candidate's
submission of an essav on Unionism. The
Local's scholarship committee has indicated the possibilit~· of again making such
an award this \·ear.
Outside Ke1~osha other scholarships are
being offered. For example, Catholic University, ·washington, D.C., offers several
with an annual value of $1,000, or a total

of $4,000 to $5,000, to current graduating
classes. In addition the Thorp Finance
Foundation committee is offering two
scholarships of $1,000 on the basis of
scholarship competition. Father Darnieder
or Father Ollev have further details about
these scholarsh.ips.
For more on scholarships, watch the next

Sisters :\1arie Catherine, Stephen i\Ian.
Rosemarie, and Benedicta are directing
the play. When asked for comment, Siste~·
:\larie Catherine singled out the versatilit:•
of the pla.'. "The pla;· is wide open for

CCD Teen Teachers Boost Parishes
For four :-:ears St. Joseph's has offered
its service as a parish assist for Confraternitv of Christian Doctrine teacher-training i{1 Kenosha. During this time priests
have taught doctrine, and faculty members
have presented teaching methods.
Hev. Leslie A. Darnieder, having experience as both pastor and principal and
knowing the need for CCD, has encouraged and aided this work at St. Joseph's.
Rev. Edmund W. Olley began the work
of doctrine instruction in 1959. Faculh·
members presently included in this pr~­
gram are Rev. James Clark, Rev. Kevin
Sheridan, and Sisters Anne and :\farie
Francis.
C D is, according to Sister Anne, "an
organization of laity trained b~· and working in cooperation with the hierarchy."
It involves both men and women and is
primarily a parish affair.
At St. Joseph's, 17 volunteer members
of a junior religion class are b ing introduced to the CCD program. At the completion of this 30-hour course the students
will receive graduation certificates on i\fa~-

6, at Alverno College, :\1ilwaukee. After
one year of supervised practice-teaching,
thev will receive CD teacher certificates.
Six SJH seniors, in the second year of
their training, now teach at St. Th rese's
parish: :\fary Jane Cox, Brigitta Krueger,
David Lattos, Judi Moeller, :\1arie Reweda,
and Irene Zalewski. According to Sister
Henrilda, who supervise their classes, the:"are very apt teachers . . . have wellplannecl classes, (and) are doing an excellent job."
As a supplement to this regular CCD
program, a seri s of five stud;· meets is
being held here at t. Jo eph's. In the
upcoming meet on Feb. 24, CCD as a
parish organization will be discussed. Re\'.
Joseph T. Konkel, Archdiocesan CCD
director, will give a general picture of
CCD, and Rev. Lawrence G. Kasper of t.
Boniface parish will explain the CCD
parish board.
A subsequent meet on April 2 "ill
present St. i\Iark's CCD school of religion
in a lecture-demonstration on the school's
organization.

Feb . l marked the beginning of Catholic Press Month . The press includes a
wide variety of books, magazines, and
newspapers-literature palatable to all
tastes. For indeed, literature is spiritual
nourishment. Through it the human mind
and soul grow toward maturity. Without this nourishment, man is dwarfed
and underdeveloped .

Caroline Suszko
Jan. 28, 1945 • Jan. 16, 1963

Consideration and cooperation are the
marks which distinguished the 17 years of
Caroline Suszko's life. A student for eight
years at St. Casimir's and in her fourth at
SJHS, this quiet senior will be most remembered by her friends, classmates, and
teachers as a girl whose interest in others
far surpassed her interest in herself. A
member of C.Y.0. and her parish Sodality,
Caroline fulfilled her spiritual duties. Yet
she found time to pursue her interests of
dealing with people by being a member of
the Library Club and working part time at
the Washington Branch Library.
Although her sudden death brought
sorrow, we know that for Caroline it was a
new beginning.

Catholic periodicals enable Church
members to remain abreast of current
developments in both the religious and
the secular worlds. They merge these
worlds through a universal perspective.
Diocesan weeklies and Catholic magazines offer comments not only on reli-

Out of the Mailbag
I wont to thank you again for sending me the
Challenge. I enjoy keeping in tune with the songs
sung by the teens of America. Mast of the priestly
ministry is ta be spent with teens and it is only
by reading what they themselves write that one
can see the lyrics they feel.
I also think it is a good idea to show vocations
on the front page or in the school paper for that
matter. It shows that a religious is not a runner
away, but rather a preparer to run faster, further
and with a very definite purpose in mind.
I well know what an unrewarding job a school
paper seems to you many times as well as to the
students who work with you. It is much taken for
granted by those who receive and read it, but
you can be sure the influence it has and the
training it gives are more than we realize .

Ed. Note: The above is an excerpt from
a letter to Sister Columcille from Andrew
Faraco, a senior at St. Francis Major
Seminary.
Dear Editor,
In answer to a wayward soul's letter- what do
you mean, "Why do we have Christmas?" Maybe
I should ask what you are doing in this school
if you don't know why we have Christmas!
It's only as important as your getting to heaven.
By a lucky chance of our language the very word
"Christmas" tells us of what importance it is.
A Man with a divine nature came to help us be
eternally happy.
This ought to make this misled person a little
more interested, since his interests seem to be only
for himself.
If Christmas gives you no more than a vacation,
dear lad, there's an important something missing
in your life.

gious matters, but also on other pha ses
of life.
Catholic Book Week, Feb. 17-23, sparks
this press month. Catholic books do not
deal exclusively with religion; many are
novels dealing with everyday people in
everyday situations . Their unique feature is an underlying Catholic philosophy. For Catholicity is not merely a religion; it is an entire way of life.
The fruits of the Catholic press can
be more than nourishment. Literature
can be a feast. Seasoned with originality, the craftsmanship and insight of
good writing can be a delight to consume. Digesting and assimilating ideas
gives us vitality. A diet of literature
makes man a full being.

Hurricane Student
A hurricane strikes St. Joe's between
classes every day. It creates havoc and
confusion in the corridors.
"How can a hurricane strike in the
middle of winter?" you ask. Well, let's
ask this student if we can catch him.
Look out, though-he's dangerous .
Watch h im run through groups of
people, knocking them over, throw ing
their books and folders everywhere.
There- he just charged into someone , but
keeps right on course. Aha - stopped for
a demerit; well, that's what usual ly
happens.
You still haven't seen a hurricane?
Wei I, look at that student warming up
for track season, running down the corridor. He just broke the tape (too bad it
was through a window) .
If you haven't seen Hurricane Stude nt,
you may be too busy being one yourself to notice him.

Dear

Editor,

I sincerely hope that this letter was written only
for the comments it would provoke.

There is a college night for juniors and seniors,
but how about the sophomores and freshmen?
Many of us are planning to go to college and ore
undecided upon which college is right far us. It
would help a great deal if the Challenge would
run an article each month, spotlighting a specifi c
college and its activities and curriculum.

that if you'd show a litt le of your own "Good will

Merriment Marks Mardi Gras Season
tudy-sick students arise; it's Mardi Gras
se;1son! According to tradition, the time bet\veen Epiphany and Ash Wednesday is
filled with parades, celebrations, and balls.
So where arc the\'?
l'.nfortunately, this tradition is prevalent
onh- in France, Italy, South America, and
the southern Un ited Slates, especially Tew
Orlt'ans. Thus, until some ingenious indi"idual decides to bring th e Mardi Gras season to Kenosha, SJHS students will have
to "ait until Feb. 26 to celebrate. That is
tl.e clay of the Mardi Gras dance, St. Joseph's O\\n pre-Lenten festival.
The clay before Ash Wednesday is known
b' many names. For instance, the English
translation of the term Mardi Gras is "Fat
Tuesda,-." It refers to the fat ox which is
paraded through the streets of France on
that dav. The Germans call the da" Fastendienstag, while in England it wris at onf'
time known as "Pancake Tuesday" becau e

of the custom of eating pancakes on that
day.
Feb. 26 also possesses a much deeper
meaning. The title "Shrove Tuesda:-" proves
this fact. It was the d~n on which "shrift"
or confession was made in preparation for
the evening feast to follow.
Americans, however, have their eyes
turned toward ew Orleans on Mardi Gras
<la\'. This old French cit\ is famous for
its. hilarious celebrations: Alth'.lugh the
Mardi Gras season has been under wav
since the feast of the Epiphany, it is n;t
until the Tuesda: before Ash Wednesday
that merrymaking reaches its peak. Fabulous floats, marching bands, and costumed
meH: makers are all a traditional part of
:\1ardi Gras elm.
SJHS studen.ts, meanwhile, are preparing
their frivolous costumes for the Mardi Gras
Dance, and their purple cloaks for Lent.

Coach Scores in Two Fields
To Produce Winning 'Blend'
If an inside lead proves correct, a new
blend has found its wav into the facultv.
Yes, Coach Fischer hit the jackpot when he
received a pipe from his wife for Christmas.
However, since fr. Fischer is already
well known for his teaching and coaching
prowess, I'm afraid his newly acquired pipe
will play second fiddle to his other wellknown traits. Although a familiar sight in
the classroom and on the field, Coach
Fischer is relativelv new here at St. Joe's.
A keen sense of humor and a willingness
to help have made friends of all with whom
he has come in contact.
"The student body here is tremendous.
The students want to learn , and I enjoy
teaching them," explained Mr. Fischer.
With a chuckle, he added, "But I must

Picture of the Month
"We've got to win this game, son, so I'm

Homeroom llO is credited with submitting

will be featured in the March issue of
Challenge. Plans are under way to open
the Camera Club's best-picture competition
to non-members.

War Songs to Ring Out
"Battle Cry" is the theme for this year's
patriotic assembly. The program will feature songs from the Revolutionar:· and
Civil Wars and World Wars I and II.
Select Mixed Chorus, the band, and the
modern dance group will take part.

Bandsmen Eye Trophies In Competition
"Trophies, here we come," could well be
the hopeful tune of St. Joe's concert and
swing bands. Both will enter competition
in earlv March.
They will engage in a summer worksh cp
held here at SJHS under the leadership of
Mr. John Bunic. Music teachers from other
schools will collaborate with Mr. Bunic in
working with both bands.
The stage band has demonsh·ated its
talents at the pep assemblies, the variety
show, and the "Freshcapades". Stage band
members are chosen from the concert band
and can boast of 22 members.

The concert band, also known as the
Marching Band, took part in the Christmas
program, the patriotic assembly and a pep
assembly. Present plans include playing for
the school production of "The Music Man"
and the Kenosha Memorial Dav Parade.
The C.Y.0. band participated with them in
Band-0-Rama, Feb. 10, besides filling requests to pla:• at various Home and School
meetings . These are but a few of the events
scheduled for St. Joe's up and coming
bands.

admit my classes always seem to ha,·e ,1
couple of comedians, and I didn't major
in comedy."
In fact, he majored in history and ph,·sical education at LaCrosse State. Mr. Fischer, a graduate of St. Mary's here in
Kenosha, was active in basketball and baseball along with his membership in Sodalit~.
At Lacrosse. he
was a member of
the 1 ewman
Club, which is a
Catholic organization on the secular campus.
"The
ewman
Club is found on
.
every secular
Mr. Fischer
campus in the
United States, and I feel it is a worthwhile
organization for all students."
Reflecting on his graduation from Larosse, he recalls, "I was very plea ·eel
when I received an offer to teach at St.
Joseph's." Realizing the great changes
which have marked our schools, the fcrmer
high school athlete states, "I believe that
in the area of curriculum and scholastic
achievement, St. Joseph's ranks as one of
the best schools in the state. And in the
not too distant future, we will prove to be
a leader in the athletic field."
Since arriving here in '61 when he ,,·as
given the sophomore coaching assignment
in football and basketball, he has managed
to turn in the best records in soph histon .
This includes onlv one loss in two seasons
of football. When approached on the subject, he can only grin as he remarks. "I
enjoy coaching, and the sophomores are
eager to learn. They are terrific competitors
and their desire to play the game acccunts
for a large part of their success."
Although Mr. Fischer has proved his
capabilities in teaching and coaching, \\hen
strict seriousness isn't a necessitv, his humorous side alwavs rises to the stirface. For
example, where his juniors are concerned:
"My homeroom? Let me see, I guess I like
having my homeroom, but I could do without the extra work it entails."

Class merit receives ample discussion from Mary, John, Rita, and Mark Cantwell, who
represent each of St. Joe's four years.

Cantwell Family Boasts Distinction
" '63, '64, '65, '66, front and center, all
inspected; off to school." Sound familiar?
It shouldn't, unless your name is Cant'' ell.
Why? Because the Cantwells have the distinction of being the only family having a
child in each grade at St. Joe's.
Handing down books from John '62 to
~lark '65 is one distinct advantage. \Vearing each other's uniforms and helping each
other is another benefit, according to Rita
'64 and Mary '63.

In a ~·ear not soon to be forgotten as
"little freshmen" the class of '65 matched
and even surpassed those "other" bewildered classes in contests of strength and endurance such as game-attending, couponcollecting, cheer-screaming, courtesy-cam-

paigning, and program ad go-out-'n getting!
A summer passes; but come eptember,
the select of '65 returned in full dosage,
more aged and potent, ready, willing, and
able to take on all corners.
In countless unsolicited testimonials the
sophomores have been referred to as bigger
and better than ever! Yes, the big "S" is for
soph. You find sophs out on top in sports
and sport event supporting, debate, variety
and Christmas shows and honor rolls. (For

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
is the first novel that I've enjoyed in
years . It is very true to life and true to
its setting. This story paints an accurate
picture of southern people-their ways of
doing things and their expressions. Miss
Lee's novel takes place in a small town
in the deep South where nothing important has happened since the Civil
War . Its people are, for the most part,
set in their ways, which are almost impossible to change.
The story centers around Atticus Finch,
his son Jem, and his daughter Scout.
Atticus, a vivid character, is a mild lawyer who is in the reality the symbol of
strength in the town . Jem adds to his
father's character and Scout narrates the
story through her young eyes .
The mood of the story uniquely blends
warmth in the episodes of Jem and Scout
with their mysterious neighbor, Boo
Radley, with suspense in the trial of a
Negro accused of criminal assault.
Miss Lee's characterization is the
greatest quality of her writing. She dives
deep into the souls of her characters to
show their innermost prejudices and
harshest discriminations again 5t the
Negro race . She ties these characters
with perfection into the conflict of the
story- truth against prejudice .
To Kill a Mockingbird is a great book
that should endure for years as a best
seller. Its enjoyment is deep enough for
a scholar and light enough for the common man to enjoy. My feelings can be
summed up in a quote from the Minneapolis Tribune: "The reader will find
an immense satisfaction and desire, on
finishing it, to start again on page one ."
Bruce Barman 101

Poll Rates Books
A recent poll was made by the Challenge staff to determine what SJHS students are reading . This representat ive
tally was based on surveys of three
homerooms in each of the four classes.
To Kill a Mockingbird was the most
popular with West Side Story a close
second. Good Bye, Mr. Chips, Ugly
American, and The Raisin in the Sun
ranked high. Karen and The Diary of
Anne Frank were also favorites .
Some of the more unusual books were
How to Become a Taxidermist, Uhuru,
Text of Ore Pressing, Candy-Stripers,
Frogmen in Action, Harpo Speaks, My
Wonderful World of Slapstick, and First
Lady.

Matmen Host State Meet;
Set Course for Crown
Over a period of three years, the Lancer
grapplers have compiled a 31-0 record. So
far this \'ear Coach Matrise's bo\ s have
Se\·en str~1ight wins, averaging close to 43
points p er meet.
In a week these same boys will be engaged in the WCIAA State ~feet here at
our gym. The meet will be a little bigger
this year with the addition of three or four
more teams .
Also new this \'ear will be the Frida\
night matches . The meet begins at 6:30
p.m . on Frida;·, Feb. 15, with the matches
concluding about 10:30. Saturda;• matches
will begin at 11:30 and end about 3:30.
The finals will stait about 7 :30 and
conclude about 9:.'.30 with individual award
presentations and the awarding of the
coveted team trophies.
This should be one of the most interesting tournaments ever held, because most
teams, as Mr. Matrise says, "will be out to
knock us off the top, especially Eau Claire
Regis, Waukesha Memorial and Don Bosco,
who are traditionally tough rivals. "
Backing b: the student bod; has always
been very good. In the past two tournaments, held in Milwaukee, the students
filled almost three quarters of the Don
Bosco g;·m. Coach Matrisc hopes that the
students will turn out in numbers and fill
the g;·m to capacit;• for all three sessions
this year.

When I asked about a probable line-up
for the tournament I was told that none
of the positions are final. Coach Francois'
tal en ted J.V.'s, who have compiled a 3-0
record, have equal chances with the varsity
to wrestle in the tournament.
Re:nember, the team is counting on us.
o let's get out and show these other
schools that the students of St. Joe's back
their team all the way to the encl.

Speed, Fast Breaks
Pay off for Cagers
Full of incentive and drive, our \'arsit\
Cagers overpowered Don Bosco 63-54 ancl
Beloit Catholic 73-70 in an overtime,
boosting our record to 4-9. Riding on the
crest of these two wins the Lancers could
just pull s::irne more upsets.
This year has been primarih a rebuilding one for the Varsity, with over half
the players being juniors. Because of the
Lancers' relatively small size, compared to
those other conference giants, our players
utilize speed and an effective fast break
to catch their opponents off guard.
According to Coach Radigan, their two
major weakness3s have been poor defense
and inability to penetrate the opposing
defense. Our potentially good offense seems
to be coming into its own, though, as the
scores of the Don Bosco and Beloit games
indicate.
Coach Radigan's usual starters are Captain Tom Regner, John .Mauser, Jim Hamilton , Ralph Wade, and Joe Lesnik. The
reserves include Mike Cass, Dom Forgianni,
Barry Wojtak, Dan Hughes, Bob ~fars ,
Dean Molinaro, 1ike Bostetter, Jim Carelli, Bob Regner, and Denny Kertz.
The Varsity figures on adding a few
more wins in the victorv column before
the end of the season.

The Day Will Come
In making the transition from teenager to adult, the Christian youth must
recognize in true perspective his relationship to God. He is not only a
creature but, through Christ, he is also
a son.
This concept, once realized, tempers
his somewhat sanguine personality, fortifies his Christian ideals, and determines his ultimate view of life with
Christ as the center.
However, to live his religion he must
love it; to love it he must know it; to
know it he must study it.
As a child, he was probably taught
in the "WhomadeyouGodmademe" fashion which seemed sufficient at the time.
But as his life complicates itself, he can
solve the problems that arise only
through experience in living with people
in charity, coupled with Christian training, guidance and educaton.

An Open Letter

Dear St. Joseph,
Since you probably don't know us
too well, introductions are in order.
We're the students of St. Joseph High
School.
Your feast day is coming up and we
feel a little stingy in having you as
our patron and not patronizing you. It
might just be better that you don't
know us too well; we might embarrass
you sometimes. But you were a workingman once, and you know how school
and work can get on our nerves.
But in this season of Lent maybe we
can make you more proud of us. We'll

The Christian youth should learn to
use these tools in shaping the principles of his future life.

sure try! A few extra prayers in the
morning or evening wouldn't put a
strain on us. We hope it will make you
happy.
We would like to please you more, as
Christ did. It must have been nice
taking care of Him. You must have
worried when Christ stayed at Jerusalem, but wasn't it wonderful to look
into His eyes before death?
We've got a lot to thank you for too.
Our teams have done great and we
know part of it was due to the fact that
we carried your name. With your
nameday nearly here, we hope to bring
you more honor by living up to the
example you have set.

it's getting late, time to snuff
Ready and Willing outWell,
the night candle and say those
"United we stand, divided we fall."
These famous words reverberate through
time. They echo through our halls,
accepted by some and rejected by
others.
Our fighting teams have proven that
cooperation brings achievement. These
players aren't isolated on their battlefield; we support them. School officers
need our support also. Alone they effect
the accomplishments of an individual;
but backed by a united class, officers
have the power of several hundred
people.
Active classes are remembered because cooperation is a living acceptance,
a tradition that grows and fills each
year with the spirit to outdo all others.
Will your class pass on this tradition?

prayers we promised you.

Out of the Mailbag
Dear Editor,
I'm a junior and I think my class is the greatest
but I also know that there is another class in this
school which is pretty darn terriffic also- the freshmen. After seeing the Freshcopodes, how could
anyone deny this? These kids went in front of
audiences (many for the first time) and did a real
wonderful job of it too! Just how many of us in
the other classes could do something like that?

Dear Editor,
Congratulations on the fine articles featuring
Catholic Press Month, Catholic Book Week, and
our library aides.

It's about time we begin to appreciate what
others do as well as ourselves. The show was really
something to be proud of-and freshmen, be proud
of it-because we're proud of you!

The comments on Catholic Press Month were
especially suitable. Catholicity is a way of life.
Literature-truly Catholic literature-helps to mold
the principles guiding our philosophy. The Ch all enge
is a means of carrying that message to the students
at St. Joe's and to all with whom these students
come into contact. Do keep up your good work.

"Try lifting the right one at the same time," suggests Mr. Thomas Terrien, choreographer
for "Music Man."

Whadayatalk? It's 'The Music Man'!
"Whadayatalk, whadayatalk, wheredayagiti t . . . Pickalittletalkalittlepickalittletalkalittle cheepcheepcheep talkalot. ... "
"Music Man" rehearsals must sound like
hen parties to the uninformed. Actually,
this babble is part of St. Joseph's 1963
school play, and those lines must be learned
perfectly!
History of this year's production began
Jan. 24 when 250 SJIIS students (a record!)
tried out. Five recalls followed, and finally
the cast was announced.
Characters can be divided rough!:· into
two categories: the travelling salesmen and
the River City townspeople.
Harold Hill (Terry Moriarty, Bruno Rizzo) is the travelling salesman who convinces River City that he's an "honest-togoodness Music Man." His fellow salesmen
(Jim Lichter, Tim Onosko, Dave Willems,
Ray Bscherer, Dan McGuire, and Frank
Schneeberger), led by Charlie Cowell (Jim
Limbach), are convinced, though, that Hill's
a fraud "'cause he doesn't know the territon !"
The dazzled River City townspeople,
meanwhile, have quite a few of their own
distinguished personalities: 1ayor Shinn
(George Vena), Eulalie, his "persnickety"
wife (Marcia Adamson, Man· Peltier), and
their giggly daughter, Zaneeta (Joan Hammond); the School Board (Louis Ritacca,
Bill Miller, Tom Duban, and Dennis Connolly), later transformed into a marvelous
barbershop quartet; Marian Paroo, the
town librarian (Dana Pfeiffer, Lvnne LeTa rt), and her mother, 1rs. Paroo (Bernadette McEvoy); Tommy (Eddie Ward),
leader of the River Cit\' kids' "band" and
also woo r of Zaneeta.
Of course, too, even· town has its constable (Rick Gregorin) and gossips (Ann
Flatley, Joan Pietrangeli, Sharon Sprissler,
and Katie Heller).
And then there's 1arcellus (Dom Forgianni), who doesn't fall into either category. He's River City's livery stable owner
but actually is in cahoots with H ill.

"Music Man" will be scoring a couple of
"firsts" in SJIIS dramatic history. For the
first time St. Joseph will be employing
talent outside the realm of SJHS students.
Approximate!:' ten children 5 to 13 years
old will be included in the cast. Two 8year-olds will be cast in the speaking roles
of Amaryllis and Winthrop.
Tr:-outs for the youngsters were held
last month. Strangely, the applicants seemed
exact miniatures of certain SJHS students.
Even the names-Heller, Flatlev, Ward,
Vena, and Hammond-were the same. "The
kids are an absolute scream!" was the general reaction at tr\'-outs.
The other "first" lies in choreograph:.
For the first time SJHS will employ professional choreographers.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Terrien of Racine
will be working with the select group of
"Music Ian" dancers headed by Johanna
Gallo. The Terriens have choreographed
several other school plays, including those
at Pius XI High School in Milwaukee. The
Racine couple also teach at their own
dance studio.
"The Music Man," St. Joseph's second
musical and fifth annual play, will be presented April 19-22.

"Gee whiz! I have my very own
set of buttons," Jim Robillard
seems to say. After Jim complained about never being able to
push buttons on stage crew, John
Mikulsky made him a set. D ave
Travanty and John Gnorski seem
almost as thrilled as Jim.

Undoubtedly you noticed a number of
students in their "civvies" on Feb. 11.
Those students chose to help themselves
through the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, since "God helps those who help
themselves."
Just what does it mean to become a member of the Sodality - a Sodalist? This question can well be answered by stating the
three main objectives of the Sodality way
of life: (1) to sanctify oneself, (2) to sanctif:·
others, and (3) to think with the Church.
A Sodalist strives for personal perfection
through a program of spiritual exercise.
This program includes pra:·er, meditation,
and most of all, the ho!: sacrifice of the
Mass.
The Socialist attempts to help others to
salvation. An old adage states that we bring
everyone we meet a little closer to hea\'en
or to hell; the Sodalist aims to bring others
not just a little, but a lot closer to heaven.
Sodalities teach their members not onlv
to obev the Church, but also to think a's
it does: This certainlv doesn't mean a '\·esman" attitude, but rather it indicates that
the true Sodalist keeps firm and alive the
opinions and attitudes of the Church.
Numerous Sodality activities include intramural and extramural activities, weeklv
meetings and encouraged spiritual growth.
Such problems as conduct and attitudes
toward religion classes, conduct in general,
and other timely topics develop into \'ery
worthwhile discussions at weekl:· meetings.
This year the main topic is the ~lass, which
greatly helps Sodalists in their spiritual
life as well as simply giving a practical
approach to Catholicism.
Within the school, the Sodalit: sponsors
various events: Fun DaY, Thanksgiving baskets, fund drives for the missions, and
stamp drives. Most important here are the
spiritual activities, Hol:· Mass and the
Rosan· during Mary's months.
Outside the school the Sodalists attend
the Wisconsin Catholic Action Convention,
SUMA Conferences, and Sodalih· studv
da,·s.
·
·
in general, Sodalists are encouraged to
remain in a constant state of spiritual activit\' and to follow their motto, "to Jesus
throi.1gh :\1ary."

'Big Ten' Score with Juniors
St. Joe's junior homeroom teachers are
very special people. They blend their 10
unique personalities to lead 378 eager
juniors.
;\foderator of both the junior class and
of Homeroom 205, and chairman of the
business department, Sister Joellen teaches
bookkeeping, general records, and t; ping,
in addition to taking a course in data
processing at K. I. T. Sister thinks the
juniors need "more moral courage to do
what they're supposed to at the right time,"
but adds, "They're terrific."
Sister Adolphus also takes a course in
data processing. Homeroom 108 is a pleasant chore to Sister when she isn't teaching algebra, Religion III, or senior math.
Sister thinks that "the juniors are at an
age where they're nice to work with."
;\Ir. Robert Karnes, freshman football and
basketball coach and varsity tennis coach,
moderates Homeroom 111. 'Vhen not teaching mechanical drawing and algebra, Coach
finds time for golf, basketball, and above
all, his two sons. Coach Karnes feels the
juniors are "great people" but the; "could
improve."
hairman of the art department and
moderator of Homeroom 109, Sister Adelma teaches Art I, III, IV. Sister likes her
homeroom because they are good singers,
and sees the juniors as a very unusual
group.
Moderator of Homeroom 061, Sister
Stephen ;\far;' teaches speech and English
III. Working on the school play and forensics keeps Sister busy. Sister feels that
"the juniors are still in the process of finding themselves."

basing her comment on her homeroom and
her classes in general records, bookkeeping,

much of the junior class, because she
teaches five sociology classes, she observes
through her Homeroom 206 that the:• are

Trophy Weekend
Draws Crowds
"How many do ya think are here tonight?"
·'Brother! there must be at least a thousand."
Two Stevens Point Pacelli wrestlers were
startled at the amazing crO\.vd that turned
out to watch the finals of the State Catholic
Wrestling Tournament held here at St.
Joe's on Feb. 16.
Other teams eyeing the crown were
\1essmer, Cathedral, Don Bosco, and Marquette from Milwaukee, Waukesha Memorial and Pius XI from Wauwatosa, Stevens
Point Pacelli High and Eau Claire Regis
High.
Not onlv were there 1,900 fans watching
the wrestling matches that weekend, but
on Saturdav the 16th, the Midwest Catholic peech ·League's second forensics tournament was also held here. One hundred
eighty speakers from various parts of the
Midwest, including teams from Illinois, Indiana and \Visconsin assembled here to
compete for the coveted first place award.
St. Joseph's was not only host to these
tournaments but also a worthy runner in
the competitions. The wrestlers won the
state championship and the forensics team
took the second place trophy.

Bellarmine Debate Club: A Living Memorial
Though few of today's students remember St. Joseph's first debate coach, Sister
.\I. Robert, 0.S.F., who died in 1959, the\
know well the work she began.
·
Indeed, the St. Robert Bellarmine Debate Club, named in memor\' of Sister
Robert, is very active in carry.ing out her
work in fields of public speaking. The club
leads the ational Forensic League, Milwaukee district, in active membership
though competing w;th schools twice the
size of St. Joseph's. The club belongs to
fi\·e different forensic leagues, the activities
of which leave debaters ver\' few free
Saturda\·s.
·
.\Ionopolizing Saturdavs is, of course, not
the real purpose of the Debate Club. Its
purpose, Sister Robert and her successors,
Sister Jarlath and present head coach Sister
Christopher, would agree, is to give the
students of St. Joseph's the unmatched re\\'ards of public speak:ng-heightened logic,
and the abilitv to sp ak with ease before
classmates and otl:ers. Trophies on display
in the lobbv attest to the fulfillment of that
purpose.
This year the club has made several additions to the trophy case. A second place
trophy was won by sophomores John
Landa, Donna Krahn, Mary Sue Morrison,
and Lvnn LeTart at St. Leo High School in
Chicago. Donna received the individual
mrnrd for best speaker of the day.
John Mikulsky, Augie Gnorski, Kathy
Ruffalo, and Joan Hammond brought home
a third place troph;• from the second Midwest Catholic Speech League tournament,
held in Racine . At the third of these tournaments, next month at Lo\'ola Academv
in \ Vil mette, one fu ll tii'tion. and one ha'f-

tuition scholarship to Marquette University
will be awarded to the first and second
best debaters. At present Augie Gnorski
ranks first, John Miknlskv second, and Joan
Hammond fifth in a fielcl of 84 participants.
The Debate Club also oversees the extemporaneous speaking division of forensic
activity at St. Joe's. Augie Gnorski and John
Mikulsky won second and third place
awards at the February Chicago Catholic
Forensic League contest. Augie has further
showed his speaking proficiency by winning the local, county, and district divisions
of the American Legion oratorical contest.
Student congresses, mode~ed after actual
U.S. and State Congresses, are another
field of Debate Club activitv. Thus far this
\ear, three of our students have been
;l\varded inscribed gavels for their student
congress work: Aug:e Gnorski, three times;

Jim Limbach, twice; and Gene Hammond,
once. Recent!: Augie was chosen as the
only representative from \Visconsin to attend the
ational Student Congress in
Houston, Texas, this June. Student congresses provide not only awards, but also
practice in parliamentary procedure, and,
as Jim Limbach puts it, "a lot of fun."
Our freshmen have done extremeh- well
this year. In a tournament at St. Ignatius
High School in Chicago, they captured the
first place troph:· and Judy Johnson was
chosen best speaker of the da:" In February, the;· took third place in a tournament at St. Philip Basilica in Chicago. Here
.\like Laskis received the best speaker's
award. Besides these promising accomplishments, freshmen have contributed substantially to the club's excellent won-lost record, at this writing, 75% won - 25% lost.

\Ve're upperclassmen now; \\'e managed
to make it through our freshman and sophomore years. \Ve've learned to bisect an
angle ·and survive squar roots. \Ve've
learned never to end a sentence with a preposition-but, of course, we'll continue to.
Even though we like to think we're perfect, we're not, but at least we admit it.
One of our biggest fault seems to be that
we are motivated b:· personalit:· rather than
principle, that is, "Don't bother about
what he says, but just care that he says it."
Complaining about an; thing imaginable
seems a junior's favorite sport. B cause of
our youthful rebelliousness we will complain about an:thing whether we like it
or not.
Speaking of sports, we're well represented in the athletic department in e\·er;'
sport and season.
Since we no longer see the world through
the eyes of lowerclassmen but realize the
impo1:tance of education and maturit:· in
today's complex world, we, as juniors. are
enlarging our scope of perception.

Wrestlers Capture Third Title
On Saturday, Feb. 16, our Lancer grapplers won their third straight state crown.
The~ compiled 91 points to defeat Don
Bo co, who had 81 points. The Lancers
were also victorious in 12 straight duel
meet · during the year.
Chuck Zarletti, Clete Willems, Frank
Ruffalo, and Ron Gilles were individual
champions. While Jeff Siemion, Paul Vanderfln, and Bill Host placed second, with
Mike Thome and Lou Stella in third place.
Ruffalo was credited with being the most
aggressive of the boys in the finals when
he defeated the muscular Mike Wingert of
Don Bosco, 6-1.
Gilles gets the prize for having the two
closest matches of the tournev. He beat
Kurt Koenig of Memorial on a· judges' decision, and in the finals he won the judges'
unanimous decision over Terry Tawger
from R gis.
Coach Matrise and Father Ollev were
ver~· pleased with the students' backing all
during the meet. early 2,000 people attended the two-day affair. Both expressed
the hope that the same type of spirit would
be shown all during next year's season.
The season will come to a clo e when
the annual banquet is held on ,\farch 14.
The captain for next year and this year's
most valuable player will be announced
here also.
On behalf of all the wrestlers. I would
like to thank all the people who backed
us during the season and in the tourne\·.

I would especially like to thank the Sisters
for all their prayers and encouragement
which the:• gave to us during the meet.
Paul Vanderfln 206

Cagers End Season
This year's Lancer cagers, who have a
5-15 record, finished their season at the
regional tourney at Racine St. Catherine's
on Feb. 22.
By the time this article appears, most of
this season will be forgotten, but we should
all remember the great spirit shown by
these boys, even in defeat. They have
played hard and should have made each
one of us proud of them.
Just as in football and wrestling and
track, it took time to build a winner. Soon
St. Joe's will have a winner in basketball too.
The seniors, Tom Regner, Jim Hamilton,
Mike Cass, John Mauser, Barry Wojtak,
and Dom Forgianni, have completed their
high-school careers, as basketball players.
Their replacements, the juniors: Joe Lesnik,
Dan Hughes, Ralph Wade, Bob Mars,
Dean Molinaro, Jim Carelli, Dennis Kertz,
Bob Regner, and Mike Bostetter, still have
next year to prove to everyone that we can
win in basketball as well as in anything
else.
Paul Vanderfln 206

Spring Athletes
Set for Season
Now that the wrestling and basketball
seasons have ended, the spring sports are
ready to take over.
In golf, Coach Matrise's boys will be
out to gain that eluding state championship
trophy. Last year they won the conference
meet but slipped to third in the state tourney. The Lancers were picked to win because of their undefeated record.
On the baseball scene we hope to accomplish a little more than last year's team,
which reached the state meet but lost in
the first round. With a lot of hard work
I'm sure they will be able to accomplish
this goal.
This being only our second year on the
tennis scene, we can only hope that the
boys will be able to improve on their winless season of last year.
In track our traditionally tough runners
will be helped by Tom Regner, the state
champion shot-putter, and many other good
field men.
All these boys will be working hard to
represent the school as well as they can.
The least we can do is get out and support them as much as possible.
Dean Molinaro 109

Managers Spark Spirit

St. Joe's athletic managers lead a busy
life. They spend many hours on the athletic
scene and have many functions; for example, cleaning balls before the game.
keeping equipment in tip-top shape, and
running errands for the coaches.
We have an all-star manager in Augie
Covelli, managering for his fourth consecutive year. Ile has probably accumulated
more letters for this than anybody else in
school history.
Other managers and their sports this
year are-football, John Horne, Jim Barrett, Dennis Troha, Jim Fonk, and Chuck
DeFrang; basketball, Augie Covelli, John
Grno, John Kleist, Jim Fonk, George
Becker, Lionel Llanas and Rick Marchek;
and wrestling, Gary Dougvillo and Jim
Kausalik.
Managers have a more important job
than just care of equipment. They have to
respond to and be well liked by coaches
and athletes. To sense the tempo of th
moment and adapt themselves isn't an easy
job. For example, the wrestling team has
an easy match and the wrestlers are overconfident; the manager might encourage
them not to take it so lightly. Or the team
has an important match that is clo e and
the pressure is building up; the manager
can help relieve the tenseness of the moment by cracking a joke or encouraging a
smile.
These are little things a manager docs,

Why Student Council?

How to

Be a Success

Achievement is the work of God
and man. God makes the "stuff," man
uses it well, and PRESTO! out comes
achievement.
Now, if we're thinking of achieving
something, we must first take a realistic
look at ourselves. Can we do it? High
school football is a sport that draws
few 88-pound boys and even fewer
girls. Morons do not ordinarily fare well
in National Merit Scholarship Competition. How elementary. Honestly, has God
gifted us with an educable toe or a quick
wit or a voice that just gets going at
high C or something similar? If so, we've
got to get busy. If we're all honest,
we're all going to get busy with something. Even though in moments of despair we flatly state that we are totally
incompetent, we know that this isn't
completely true. Some may have to
search for their hidden talent, while
others may have to choose one from
among their talents by flipping a coin
or even cutting a deck of cards. It's
there-we should just keep searching,
or flipping, or whatever we're doing.
And in the meantime we should remember that if we're searching we weren't
meant to be flipping, and we should

show Christian charity to those who are.
What I'm really saying is that we're
stuck with us.
Now that we've got the "stuff" and
we're stuck with it, we've got to use it
well. Why don't you finish writing this
editorial?
Marcia Adamson 101

What is Easter? Is it the coming of
Peter Cottontail, the Easter Parade and
a chance to gorge oneself after the long
fast? No-to a Christian it is more .
Easter is the Resurrection, Christ's
rising from the dead, proving His power
over all things, including His own life
and death. Now the sorrow of his death
is overcome by H is glorious new life.
Easter is a time of joy and celebration
for the Ch rist ian. For six wee ks, he has
been carefully following t he life of
Christ in the liturgy, as prepara t ion for
this day. He has used Lent as a time for
strengthening his will and his interior
I ife through mortification and p rayer.

Is Student Council necessary here at
St. Joseph's?
The work done by the council seems
to prove that we do need this organization. Although the council has proved
its need, it still could use a few
improvements.
Meetings should be run in a m ore
orderly tashion in order to accomplish
more important work. The representatives of each homeroom should do more
in their homerooms to stimulate interest
in the council by means of frequent discussions instead of the ever boring reading of the previous week's minutes .
Before the representative votes on a
question which arises, he should discuss
the idea with his homeroom, so that he
can truly represent their opinions before
the council.
Many complaints are heard around
the school about the work of the council.
Why don't these complaints reach the
representative? If they would get to him ,
he could use them as a basis for a
homeroom discussion or possibly even
a proposition to t he counc i I itself.
We all realize that the Student Council cannot operate without our backing .
If we want a good council here, we will
have to support it in every way possible .
Paul Vanderfin 206

He has realized the meaning of the
words of Christ, " If any man will come
after Me, let him deny h imself, and take
up his cross daily, a nd fo ll ow M e" (Luke
9 :23), by reliving t he passion with Christ.
Now he, too, tastes t he joy of triumph.
After Easter the Christian must carry
into his everyday life what he has
learned. He must remember what Christ
has done for his fellow man and strive
to do t he same in a ny wa y he can. He
must continue with his Lenten spirit of
moderation and se lf-sacrifice and build
on the strengthened foundation of his
spiritual life by living Easter 365 days
of the year.

a new course called Structure in Language
and Literature. vVritten b,· Sister :\1.

of a basic literature text and one or t\\'O
books of additional readings for each year.
A similar course is being planned for the
junior and senior classes but it probabl:·
will not be ready by September.
The author, Sister Rosenda, has been
directing teaching of English in high
schools taught by the School Sisters of Saint
Francis for over 20 years. The new books
represent 15 years of her experiences in
the 20 schools taught by the Communit:··
Saint Joseph's students will probably not
notice very much difference between the
present course and the one planned
for next vear because both cover the same
material;· this same course in one form or
another has been taught at Saint Joseph's
since the school started. However, students
should find the new program more convenient, since b: owning the books they
will always have easy access to them.
Sister Columcille expressed the hope that
the program spread to other high schools
as a result of this publishing. Commenting
on the new course Sister said, "It will
eliminate a great deal of bookkeeping and
give the students a greater feeling of
security."

There will be a new "key" here at St.
Jo 's next fall, but it won't unlock anv
doors. French and Spanish classes will us'e
it daily to open new horizons into
language study.
The new "key" is the audiolingual
method of language teaching. Although not
neglecting grammar, the new method concentrates on understanding and speaking.
Basic sentence patterns and useful vocabular.1 are applied in meaningful situations.
The audiolingual method is the outcome
of c:hanges that have been going on in the
field of language study for several ~·ears.
Tocla:,,s needs call for spoken communication with others, including non-English
speakers in foreign countries as well as in
the U.S. Modern language courses are
being adapted to these needs.
The audiolingual method will be introduced here in French with the text Ecouter
et Parler by Cote-Levy-O'Connor, and in
Spanish with the first-year text, Entender y
Ilablar, and its sequel, Hablar y Leer, both
bv LaGrone, McHenrv, and O'Connor. Altl;ongh Spanish III ~ill not use the new
series, the course will be revised according
to the principles of the new "key."
t. Joe's has already tested this new
method; for three years German has been
similarly taught ~ith rewarding results.
Latin classes also have adopted this audiolingnal "key" to learning.
Our new key won't open doors, but it
does lead to an important use of modern
language.

Once Again I Sto p
The red sun sits down once again
on the vague horizon,
Seeming to yawn at the gathering
silence.
Thick white streaks of clouds
hanging low
Cover the tired old man once more.
My heavy eyes watch this lonesome
thing,
A tree folding its arms for the night,
And things scurrying for safety
Before the darkness catches them.
The quiet breeze wisping on my cheek
And through my rough hair
playing . . .
My smoke, relaxing my restlessness
My horse, standing quietly by my side.

Trips, Teaching, FTA Training
Fashion Tomorrow's Leader's
\Vork and fun season the activities of
the Future Teachers of America (FT A).
Throughout the year, members acquire
teaching practice by assisting teachers,
correcting papers, and supervising classes.
In addition, cultural trips supplement their
background.
Various trips in their active schedule
began on Nov. 1 when FT A members
went to Chicago, visiting Twin Towers,
Queen of Angels Mausoleum, the Oriental
Museum of Chicago University, the Museum
of Science and Industry, and the Prudential Building.
The second trip, taken on Dec. 8, included the Art Institute, Lincoln Park,
orthwestern Universitv, Mundelein College, DePaul University; Loyola University,
and the movie "The Longest Day."
Later in December, several FTA carolers
sang at two of Kenosha's homes for the
aged. Their visits pleased both singers and
listeners.

Cinders See Action
"Runners to your mark, get set, go!" This
is the familiar sound heard nightly around
St. Joe's. This phrase is the signal for one
of the best track seasons in St. Joe's historv.
The trackmen have displayed a great
amount of spirit and enthusiasm in the
spring practice sessions. This leads us to
believe that they will finish high in the
final statistics this year.
Tom Regner, state shot-put champion,
will be out to break his record toss of 54
feet % inch. John Rosko, Garv Hawkins,
and captain Lou Torresin are a· few of the
seniors who hope to aid the trackmen in
their cause. Other impressive members
back from last year are Jeff Chiappetta,
Jim Pavlik, Joe Lesnik and Andy Van Sant.
With a lot of hard work and a little of
our support I am sure that they will give
us much to be proud of this spring.

Death's Satire
Man is the spoils of battle lost
With death the victorious foe.
In its qualms lives of men are tossed,
In never-ending show.
Yet none escape his awesome coming,
His sword cannot be dulled.
And none quite match his dire cunning;
To his lair, all men are lulled.
None can appease his horrid hate
Of man and of men to be.
But time deals death a lethal fate,
For time passes into eternity.

LEADERS SAY, 'LET'S CO!'
"The Class of '63"-that certainly sounded funny when
we first got out of grade school. But we're seniors now and
we've grown so used to it that it will be rather hard to give
it up.

As we leave the sheltering walls of high school, we will
enter the "big, bad world." We will see more degradation,
more sin, and more wretchedness than ever before. The real
challenge lies in whether we do something about it, at least
in some little way. Everyone must force himself to become one
of those "go-people"-a person who not only recognizes the
problems that surround him, but also strives to solve them.
Only when people mold themselves into a dynamic force of
"going" will t here be any hope of peace and happiness in
the world. We must all "go," and we must "go" in the Lord.
John Mikulsky, Valedictorian

Soon we will be leaving St. Joe's and our carefree, worryfree, responsibility-free days. We'll be leaving friends,
teachers, and all the things that have become familiar during
the past years. But where are we going, and what will we
take with us to help us on that uncertain flight into the future?
There is no doubt in my mind that we will have our share
of nuclear physicists, brain surgeons, carpenters, and shopworkers, along with secretaries, typists, and electricians. We
will have these because of our mentality, training, and perseverance. We hope, too, that God has blessed our class with
religious vocations, but one thing we know for sure is that
our class will have its share of mothers and fathers.

•
Alone . A terrible word, isn't it? There is something abrupt
and final about the term, an air of desolation and hostility
that makes us all shun the very thought. Naturally, everyone
tries to avoid loneliness and no one tries harder th:m the
senior. Look how busy he has been the last few months with
the play, graduation practice, and, of course, senior parties.
Yet the end, that last long note of a four-year medley, will
too soon be swallowed up in time, and each of us will be
truly alone.

Are we prepared to handle the responsibility that comes
along with these titles? Are we prepared to live our future
lives as doctors, lawyers, mothers, and fathers, according to
the values St. Joe's, our parents, and the Church have given
us? We all say, "Don't worry about me," and yet we are all
uncertain. To go forward takes courage and a firm footing
in the principles of love, truth, determination, and discipline.
But we all are able to move forward; we are capable of it.
This is what we have been given by our school, family, and
Church. We have knowledge in our minds, God in our hearts,
and determination throughout our whole beings. With these
we will be able to live our years after graduation in the
tradition of the Class of '63 and following St. Michael, "Who
is like God."

Then, like it or not, everyone of us will face the brick wall
of reality, the only obstacle to success. It's a funny structure,
this wall; it's a different size for everybody. Some may jump
over it. Others will conquer it only after an arduous climb.
Still others may choose to ignore it entirely, content to call
their high school security success enough.
But regardless of size, the wall will be conquered in only
one way: alone. No helping hand, no boost, will be offered.
At last, each of us, the seniors, will be alone, alone with
our own personal wall. Will you scale it? Will I? Only one
person can answer that question, and when he does, alone
will become a symbol of maturity.

complete!:·.... \\'e are leaving these things in ever:· area we have
dabbled in, every major activity at SJIIS.
It might be well then, especially for those looking ahead, to
see what we eniors have to say looking back. . . .

Steve Delany, FTA President: "To become educated we ha\'e
taken many cultural trips. To become responsible we have supervised make-up tests, monitored study periods, corrected papers
and sponsored a campaign for membership." Steve urges bo' s
especial!:· to get interested in the FTA. "If you want to become
a teacher or if 'ou want to enrich 'our education, the FT A is
well worth your while!"

Kathy Kuemin, Red Cross President: ''To serve others is our
theme." And serve they have! The list of Red Cross projects is
overwhelming-extensive work at St. Joseph Home for the Aged,
making stuffed animals for need:' children, cup cake drives and
gift boxes.

John Mikulsky, Sodality Prefect: ''Sociality has given me a
spiritual goal and has helped me work toward it. Although
demands ar great and the organization does not seem appealing,
no one I know is sorr:r to be a member nor has been happy to
leave it." John also points out that besides the betterment of its
members' spiritual life, Sodality's projects have grown to include
the annual Fun Festival, dance, Thanksgiving baskets and
study clays.

Mary Peltier, Cheerleading Captain: "Good sportsmanship.
strong loyalty for St. Joe's and ability to get along with all types
of people are products of cheerleading." Besides Mar:, Johanna
Gallo, Diana Schroeder, and Marilvn Schauer bow out from
cheerleading this -'ear. Memorable for all were tryouts freshman
year. "Tryouts are still a riot, though," laughs Mary, "especially
watching the candidates hobbling up the stairs after a strenuous
workout." In the past four years under the direction of three
different coaches, the cheerleaders have learned many new
cheers, parlaken in cheerleading clinics, restyled their uniforms,
sold athletic passes, and seen one alumna go on to cheer at the
University of Wisconsin.

Augie Gnorski, Student Council President: "Student Council
has grown in the authority given it, but its position has at times
been abused by the members themselves." Aware that the Council
is often criticized, Augie is confident that it can be the organization intended if it has all of the following: (1) a leader of sound
and understanding mind who recognizes his position; (2) members
who keep their place, remembering that they are students and
that teachers are superiors; and (3) full cooperation of all students
and facultv.

Fred Thielen, Keyboard Klub President {piano division): "Formed
two years ago, the Keyboard Klub has come a long way. We've
become affiliated with the American and Wisconsin federations,
and have entered numerous contests, festivals and programs. As
for me, it's given me both the opportunity to perform before a

Tim Fanning, Foto Club: This boy may be prejudiced, but he
claims that Foto Club is the best club to get into. "It has wonderful equipment!" From experience Tim has found that "the member
must be ready, willing and able to snap the shutter, rush the film
up to the dark room and dash it off to the Challenge!"

Augie Gnorski, Marcia Adamson, Joan Hammond, Jim Limbach,
John Mikulsky and Kathy Ruffalo, varsity debaters: "Debate has
been a major factor in our education here at St. Joe's. \Ve've
learned how to win, to lose and to think! We have a lot of happy
memories but at the same time a very concrete preparation for
college." These graduates were part of SJHS':; first debate class.
Some of their memories include munching on peanuts and cookies
during rides home, car troubles, "and of course, bringing home
those gorgeous trophies, especially last year's MCFL sweepstakes
award."
Together the present seniors in debate and forensics have been
responsible for about 20 team trophies, countless other individual
awards and a name both feared and admired.

Claire Fredericksen, Junior Great Books Discussion Leader: 'TH
never forget the excitement and enthusiasm of parents, teachers,
and us leaders in February, 1962, when we organized. Since then
JGB has been holding monthly meetings directed by 15 senior
leaders. The heart of the program, however, are the 140 brighteyed, brilliant 6th, 7th and 8th graders. Probably the greatest
reward in JGB is seeing these children grow intellectually." Claire
sa' s that the leader learns a lot himself from the kids, and lo St.
Joe's she says, "Watch those freshmen next year! Our first crop of
Jr. Great Bookers are in that class!"

Sports Recap of Class of '63

Our golf team opened its season on
Thursday, April 18. They defeated Wilmot

that won them lhc conference title last

third place to his record. Al HufTalo has
competed for only one year, but his :3-8
record is something to be proud of when
all the conclilions are taken into vie\\.

TRACK

:\Iedalist honors went to t-.1ark ~1atera
and Dan Hughes with 39's. Other scores
were Ralph Patitucci 41, Barr: \Vojtak 42,
Ten:· Moriarty 44, Jim Tenuta 47, and Bill
W01tlev 47.

Track has come on strong with the help
of many seniors. Tom Hegner was last
year's state shot-put champ, and the added
strength of Lou Torresin, John Rosko, Tim
Fanning have made our track team one of
the state powers.

The team opens its conference race next
week against \Vhitefish Ba: Dominican.
\Ve've been told that the bovs will be

eluded them for the past two years.

FOOTBALL
In the fall of 1959, a group of enthus-

iastic hut inexperienced young boys came
out for football; because of their lack of
experience, however, they just couldn't
keep up the pace of the :\1ilwaukcc schools.
Dming the next two years these same bo\ s
pla~ eel as part of our not loo succcssf~1l
nusitv teams. Finall\· this year, with the
help 'of seniors John. Rosko; Tom Regner,
Dom Forgianni, :\like Cass, Chuck Zarletti,
John Zalubowski, and Don Matera, the
rnrsit~ finalh reached its potential.

BA KETBALL
Because of the great amount of teamwork necessary for a team to function properly, it takes a lot more lime lo develop
<l good team. \Ve are still in the process
of building our first confc>rence power.
Still, a few of the seniors have helped to
bring us to our present status in this sport.
Inc:luded in this select group are Tom Regner, Dom Forgianni, Mike Cass, Bari'\'
\Vojlak, Jim Hamilton, and John "\fauser.·

WRESTLING
The wrestlers' record slands for itself,
but the seniors' part in the record was ver~ ·
impressive. Chuck Zarletti has been a state
champ for two of his four years and Clete
\\' illems has a first and second to his credit.

GOLF
An unbeaten string over the past two
\ears can be at least closelv related to our

BASEBALL
Baseball has alwa' s been one of our
more victorious sports. \Vith the help of
seniors Clcte Willems, \like Thome, Jim
Hamilton and John :\Iauser, this year's
team is out to surpass the teams of the past
four years.

com(s at the conference and state me ts.
As a result of the many injuries and poor
grades, a few of the boys have had lo add
new events to their alreach crowded schedule. For example, Joe Lesnik, who has
been a 440 man and a broad jumper, has
also added the hurdles to his list of event .

Whether these added loads will help or

Fair Exchange: Insight for Experience
PERSPECTIVE

During my four years at St. Joe's, I have watched eight
foreign exchange students come . . . and go. This year most
of all, though, because of exchange students, I hove enlarged
my idea of three words - personality, perspective, and
personal experience.
I had always thought of Latin America as one huge continent, merely a mass of land. After I met an exchange
student, Alberto Duenas, from Latin America, I suddenly
saw Colombia alive with people, problems, and progress.
I now can see personality in this land because of the foreign
exchange student program. Another advantage in this program is evidenced in the objective attitudes with which
foreign students come to view their own countries. Once
while talking to Marietta Homena, I realized that she now
had a better understanding of her own people because of
the opportunity she had to look at them from a distance.
All exchange students will carry many personal experiences
back to their own countries. Ana Cecilia Escalante will probably always remember Homecoming weekend, snow, her first
taste of hot dogs, and the many other little things that never
would have been except for the foreign exchange student
program.
My views of the program can be captured in the new light
with which I now know-personality, perspective, and personal
experience.
Claire Fredericksen 103

PERSONALITY
Yes sir, it is always tough to be a
foreigner; everything is new-your entire
life, but in particular the language, the
people, :·our family, your school and
school life, the food and ... mmm ... the
girls. But who cares, knowing what comes
after the first period of adaptation. Just let
me tell : ou something about the first
scene of this experience, and you will
understand why I seem so excited about it.
The trip from our countries was companionable because of the man: students
from Colombia and other Latin American
countries. On the way to our Ameiican
homes, most of us stopped in ,\1iami for
a while. \Ve passed these days without
sleep-who could sleep with so much noise
and that boiling heat? An: way, pretty
soon we were notified as to the lime of our
next Bight, and we prepared to leave.
Up to that time we hadn't had any worry,
any thought, about so many things that
were now too close to be overlooked: Is
my new family expecting me now? Will I
be able to understand them and expre
m:·self in English? Do m: parents or
brothers in Colombia miss me now? ·

problem happened during our car trip lo
Chicago. I was with another Latin American girl and her charming American famil:'·
Naturally we wanted to relax, and to
share our experiences. What was the result?
I knew Spanish and some English, which
most of the time was useless and impossible
to understand. The girl from Brazil spoke
Portuguese, German, and an acceptable
English. Prett:· soon we established a
curious cycle: I spoke in Spanish, the Latin
American girl translated into Portuguese
and then into English.
Once in Kenosha we separated and I had
to struggle along by m:·self. I still remember some instances when a gentleman , lady
or some other companion of
first
acquaintance explained something in detail
to me while I accepted it, wondering \\hat
that was all about.

m:

Oh, ves, it is true. But I never felt as
though ·among strangers. I was at home
because of the friendliness of Americans.
obody ever laughed at me because of m:•
peculiar English. Instead I received lots
of help when I needed it. I have come
to know and admire the real "North
American."

These and similar thoughts came to me,
and I wondered if we would arrive without any inconvenience during the Bight.
Once in Chicago wondering ceased; we, for
the first time, faced the problem of language-the greatest barrier I was to
confront.

I could tell you also about . . . well , I
think that is enough. All I want to add is
that I wouldn't trade this experience for
anything in the world. I will envy those
who will come to America in the future.
Wouldn't vou?

As I stepped out of the plane at ,\1ilwa11kcc and scanned anxiously for m: American
family, I never thought that mv experiences
here would exceed all my dreams. A long
\ear stretched before me; now that year
is almost over. Oh, what a wonderful year
this has been !-so full of fun and loaded
with responsibility.
I'll never forget the first time I W('nt
racing with the wind on a toboggan, eating
rubber-like pizzas and the then tasteles ~
french fries, dancing at St. Joe's, scooping
with "giant" girls, looking at magnified
snow flakes , and watching eagerly for the
changes of seasons. There was the first
confusing elm of school when I met with
a half-bewildered look mv teachers and mv
1,512 schoolmates.
·
·
But with this fun, too, were the things
I had to do as an unofficial representative
of my countr:•. I realized having just this
role is so hard for I couldn't do and Sa\
everything I had wanted to . Most of the
time personal wants conflicted with national interest and doing the proper thing was
often hard, and sometimes some misunderstood m .
But in spite of all these, I can say I enjoyed m\' stay here immensely. St. Joe's and
the facult: are just great as is my family.
I've found Americans so warmhearted and
friend!:. Iy boundless thanks I give to all
''ho gave me this opportunity to live with
you for one whole year and to inform about
m:· countn· and nation, bringing us and the
''hole world closer.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
It was about eight months ago that I
first found that I was coming to the United
States. I wondered then-\Vhat is it going
to be like? ~favbe I won't like it. Or ma\ be
I won't find a~v friends there.
·
Finally I came to wonderful America.
Of course, it hurt to leave my family . ..
ITI\' friends ... and all that I loved most;
bt;t I'm glad I had the opportunity to come
to America and St. Joe's. I have found here
the nicest teachers, the nicest friends. Although they differ a little from those of my
country, in my heart there is no difference
at all.
low school is almost over and it is time
for me to go home. I'm sure I will never
forget this year in America and I will
alwms remember the fun I've had in
school, at parties, and in different activities.
I want to thank you all for ever:thing. I
know that some of :·ou enjo:·ed having me
here, but perhaps some of :·ou did not;
anyway ... remember me.
