REFLECTION
The essence of our school is not something to be
bound between the covers of a book, but something alive
and growing, too big to define. Although this growth
is nurtured through social, academic, athletic and religious activity, it has been cultivated primarily by one man:
Reverend Leslie A. Darnieder. And it is in gratitude for
this and in honor of his twenty years in the priesthood
that we, the students of St. Joseph High School, dedicate
the '65 CHALLENGE.

The Perfect High School Soto,
Her No: th American home i with the
Charlie Schwartz i the typical high
school student "teening" with potential,
yet Charlie is 7 5 % blah.
To help solve Charlie's and our
school's problems, SJHS sent twelve
school delegates to the first Archdioce an
Apostolic Workshop held at De Sale s
Seminary August 14, 15, and J 6. If you
think the name sour:ds formal, think of
how our delegates must have felt - before they got there. Representing our
school were Melind:i Matera, Gene Hammond, and Terry Crosetto, Student Council; Fred Loizzo, Diane Hammond, Chris
Swift, Laura Serpe, and Chris Hartnell,
school leadership; and Carol Schwaiger,
Tom
icholai, and Jim Hunt, apostolic
01 g::inizations.
This workshop was engineered by
Brother Paul Donoghue, S.M. He divided
the del gates from the 19 schools into
eight councils, each with a difficult yet
realistic problem to solve. In the cours::
of solving the problem, the delegates h:id
to find a name for the school, compose a
s:hool ong, and present a skit, all rebted
to the particular school problem.
A weekend at the seminary prov:d for
some to be more fun than work. Thv Iu'.1
took shape in ocials, a d:ince, hootenannies, a cook.out, skits, and a .few unplanned dormi,ory incident .
The purpo e of the workshop was to
formulate more perfect high chool within our Archdioce ~. What happens now
only time will tell. Will the Charlie
Schwartze respond to the effort of the e
apostolic delegates or will they ride the
treadmill to oblivion?

It Is In Giving That We Receive
The Peace Corps Story
The United States has formed a
new army. Its members are strong,
young soldiers fighting a war for
peace. Their uniform consists of blue
jeans and a sloppy shirt. Their skin is
brown from sun and wind, and under
that skin is a layer of invisible steel.
They are the Peace Corps volunteers,
and this is their story:
The Peace Corps is an organization established by Congress in 1961.
Its objectives, defined by the Act for
the Peace Corps, are to promote world
peace and friendship by making available to interested countries Americans
who will:
l. Help the people of these countries meet their needs for trained manpower.

To many of you Pep Club is something new; and yet all of you have
been asked to join it. WHY? This question has been asked us on many occasions. We were the first to ask it and
the answers we found encouraged us
to go ahead with plans for St. Joseph's
first Pep Club. Our answers kept
us working for three long summer
months, working hard to organize and
plan Pep Club for this year. Maybe our
answers will give each of you a place
in Pep Club.
On a whole, Pep Club's purpose is
to be of service to the sports program .
But in its essence it is more than that.
Pep Club offers each individual student the opportunity to use his time
and talent to achieve a sense of personal satisfaction. Although this is not
a tangible reward, it is a valuable one.
of an organization that was built for
you . Maybe you have avoided extracurricular activities because you don't
like the way things are done, you
don't go to games because you can't
stand to see the team knock itself out
while the students go through some
"sing-songy'' cheer, you aren't complacent enough to go to the same old
sock hop week after week. GOOD!!
Because we don't like these things
either, but it takes someone like you
to start the change. This is what Pep
Club welcomes. We ask you to use
this opportunity to express yourself
and help us succeed where others
have failed.

Because of CHALLENGE'S efforts to
reflect most accurately student life,
news from Student Council will be
featured each month. Look for it, read
it, and most important discuss it. I
welcome personally your suggestions
on how to improve on council, your
Student Council. If this column stimulates those suggestions, then it is tru ly
a success.

'64-'65 Student Council President
Pep Club and YOU
If you are a person who has time
to devote to extracurricular activities,
then Pep Club has a place for you.
Your job will be a most important one.
It will be to use the time you have to
help lead Pep Club. With an organization of this size the demand for leadership is great. However, we are not
looking for people who are so-called
born leaders. We need people who
are sincerely interested and have the
necessary time. These people are tne
good leaders. If you find that we are
talking about you then we ask you to
give Pep Club a chance. Without you,
it will fail.
Suppose you work after school
and are limited as to how much responsibility you can carry. Pep Club
has a place for you. No matter how
perfect th2 leadership is, Pep Club will
not move unless, through it, you express your desire to be of service to
your school. Much of Pep Club's work
can be done by you in what free time
you have - those moments in the
morning, a study hall, homeroom period, or in the evening. Become a part
Pep Club

Sister Maria Cordis, O.S.F.
of the American people.
It is the resu It or rather, the product, of a challenge issued by the late
President Kennedy to the youth of
America . On a dark and windy morning in October 1960, he stood before
a group of students in Ann Arbor,
Michigan, and demanded, "How many
of you are willing to spend ten years
in Africa or Latin America or Asia?
. . . "and told them, "On your willingness to contribute part of your life to
this country, I think, will depend the
answer to whether we, as a free society, can compete." The youth accepted his challenge wholeheartedly.
The first volunteers were wild
with excitement, ready to change the
world. Their enthusiasm was tempered
by l 0 to 15 weeks of intensive training, including 50 classroom hours, and
300 hours of language instruction,
the:i directed into proper channels.
And surprisingly, some of them did
change the world, or at least the countries where they worked. In Columbia,
community development workers left
behind 44 new schools and 55 others
under construction . They also helped
to complete 200 miles of rural roads
and 27 aqueducts. In Niger, a pair of
agricultural instructors helped 40 students start a Young Farmers Training
Center with funds from the U. S.
Agency for International Development. In Chile, volunteers gave a lift
to the economy of their district by
starting a vegetable-growing-andmarket cooperative.
But successes like these were rare.
More typical are the experiences of
thousands of other volunteers like the
one in Asia who writes: "After weeks
of instruction, my class finally understood. I'm getting through to them
slowly but surely."
The Peace Corps is a victory for
the United States and for the men who
made it: Rep. Henry Reuss of Wisconsin and Sen. Hubert Humphrey of
Minnesota, who proposed it; R. Sargent Shriver, who created it; and Pres.
Jchn F. Kennedy, who estab lished it.
But most of the credit goes to the volunteers. They have shown their host
countries a new kind of American a friendly, generous folk. They work
hard, long hours and aren't pa id much,
but any volunteer will tell you he gets
back a hundred times what he gives.
These Americans are fighting a new
kind of war - a war for peace. And
as the Peace Corps goes into its fourth
year, the odds are highly in t heir favor. Editor's Note: Further information

Understanding through Friendship
Students Lend Helping Hand
Bulging lunch bags bobbing on a clothesline and a warm " hi " greet old and new
faces at Friendship Camp, sponsored by the
United Cerebral Pals\' League. The camp
began its weekh· four-da\' sessions June 22
and ended Aug'ust 6, during which handicapped Kenosha and Racine children became acquainted with the wooded country side of the Robert Powell farm where the
camp is located.
At the camp, physical and occupati<;>nal
therapy was recei,·ed thr~ugh superv~sed
activities. These included hikes, S\\·1mmmg,
boating, games, trampoline exercises and
handicrafts. Since each activitv needed close
supervision, volunteer help w'as needed ar. d
·
appreciated.
Fi,·e SJ HS girls recognized this need
and responded by volunteering precious
ncation time as camp counselors. Mary
Ann Niederkorn and Rosemary Metcalf,
'64 graduates, spent their summer working
with the handicapped children.
"\Vorking with these kids is very gratif~ · ing and I'll be sad to leave," commented
Rosemarv.
Coun~eling was a new experience for
Alice Bode, Mar\' Heber, juniors, and Janet
Liggett, senior. ·Mary explained, "When I
first came, l expected to feel sorry for
them, but I don 't."
"Each da\' \ ' OU see all t\'pes of handicapped children, but it's nor depressing b~
cause \'OU can also see imprO\·ements m
man\',' add ed Al!cc.
The ,·olunteer efforts of these girls do
not go unnoticed, and can be summed up
bv a statement from R:ise Mitchell, a counselor and te~ cher of the handicapped. "The
camp counselors are terrific! Most of them
bend over backwards to help the kids.
\' olunteer counselors working with small
groups through the camp give the kids a
greater amount of freedom."
"Love is the key to working with the
mentall\' retarded," stated David Eisenhauer, an SJ HS senior. Dave, along with
Ramona Vidas and Carol Schwaiger, also
seniors, spent the summer as a ,·olunteer at
Southern \Yisconsin Colony.
Located in Cnion Gro\·e, Southern Collonv was established as a home for mentall)· retarded perwns committed to an institution by the state. Ages at the Colony
range from 3 to 74.
Retardation is found in manv forms in
the tweh·e cottages. Some cottages are devoted to the profoundly retarded while
others deal with the educable or trainable
retarded.
After a tour of the Colony and a short
training period, Carol, Ramona, and Oa,·e
chose to work in a cottage of mildly retarded bovs. £,·erv Saturda\', the\' supervised plaiground 'activities, ·organized ball
games, and read to the boys.
"It was a great experience in learning,''
said Ramona. "And seeing the joy in their
faces when we played with them made all
the work worthwhile."
"I used to pity ment~ll y retarded childre?,
until 1 started working at the Colony,
added Carol, "but 1\·e learned they are not
to be pitied but he lped."
Mary Ann Niederkorn is ho ld ing up her
share of respon sibility.
\ \' elcome back ever\' bod v !
And a special welcome to· the freshmen .
You know the freshmen - they're the ones
with the hlue uniforms. Don 't worrv kids,
thev'll fade in time, then vou'll look ju ~t
like the sophomores. But there'll still be a
difference - you can tell the sophs by their
green faces as they start biology. And the
juniors, they're glowing with pri?e ;-"hil.e
flashing their newly-acquired dnver s licenses. As for the seniors - they shine
'cause they're Top B:-ass this year. They've
spent their summer job-hunting. But then,
everyone else has been busy too - busy
swiri1ming, playing tennis, picnickii:g,
watching (; ) the bike races, and planning
parties. Surprise parties seem to rank number one.
£,·en though summer's over, the fun
doesn't have to end. The Pep Club can keep
energetic kids busy all winter long. This is
a new organization formed by Student
Council. It'll take care of Homecoming and
other sports events. (See story on Page 2.)
So ha,·e a good year, kids, and until
next month - keep busy!
Seniors Study Politics
A week at the Badger States instilled an
acti,·e interest in go,·ernment in five SJHS
se111ors.
Donna Krahn was one of 450 girls attending Badger Girls State on t~e niversit\· of \Visconsin campus, Madison.
. Gene Hammond, John Landa, Fred
Loizzo, and And\' \'an ant were among
the 9·l2 delegates. to Badger Boys State in
Ripon, \\'is.
The offices the\' held indicated the gocd
impression these seniors left behind. Donna
became ma~· or of i\laple City. (Each floor
was a cit\', two floors composed a count~ · ,
and a dorm was a state.) Gene was mavor
of Solomon; John ran for governor in· his
part\' primarv, but lost tO a boy from \\'ausau; ·Fred \\·a's chief of police, an a!derman,
and chairman of his party's state com·ention; and And:· was an assemblyman.
Badger States also left a good impression
on the kids.
Fred : The:· subtl~· put across the idea of
patriotism. For instance, in the assembl~ ·
there "as al\\ avs the ad,·ance of colors,
which made quite an impression in producing a great feeling.
Gene: I got a chance tO learn quite a bit
about city go,· rnment.
Donna : The week was just '>Vonderful. It
ga,·e me a chance to really appreci~tc and
see the appreciation of the other kids for
those "ho were working so hard to do
something for us.
Andy: I gained a \'aluable insight into local go,·ernment.

Athletes Merit Summer Awards
Golf
Summer vacation, for most of us, is
a welcome time when the unbearable tenions of the past school year are forgotten.
But during the summer, atheletic events
kick into high gear and the whe-ls of the
sport world get rolling.
This summer a number of St. Joe's
students attained honor awards for their
athletic achievements.
Baseball
Emil Kt.:bica, with an amazing 677
batting average, was voted most valuable
player in the Jaycee Junior League. Playing with the Pepsi Cola team, he rapped
out 21 hits in 31 times at bat. When asked
who helped him most with his hitting
Emil replied, "Well, I gue s the other
pitchers."
Emil caught for Pepsi and while playing in the City R ecreation League for
Bernacchi's he played catcher and first
base.
Emil hopes to play football and baseball this ye::ir at St. Joe' .
In the big news this S'Jmmcr, Barry
Wojtak, a '63 graduate of St. Joseph's,
won the Kenosha County Golf Open. His
scores for the Open were a 70 at Maplecrest a 76 at Petrifying Springs, and a 69
at Spring Valley. B:irry s~ems to be making a habit of winning at th County
Opens. In 1962 he shot an 80 at Pets, an
83 at Maplecrest, a 79 at Spring Valley,
ar.d an 86 at the Kenosha Country Club.
The total of 327 strokes enabled him to
take first in the cbss B competition in "62.
Barry was con istently shooting low
score in "63 when he played on the St.
Joe's varsity. During hi s playing years on
the varsity the golfers chalked up win
after win. In Barry's s nior year he was
elected Most Valuable Pbyer on the golf
team.
John Evans had to drop a 15-ft. putt
i:1 ord r to win the Pepsi Cola Golf Open
held in August at the Municipal Cour e.
John, a junior, shot a 3 8 in the 15-yearold age bracket but was forced into a
udden death playoff when Allan Dunke
came in with a score of 38 also. Then on
the first hole of the playoff John came
through with a winning 15-foot putt.
Emil Kubica receives congratulations from Ray Berres, White
Sox pitching coach, after being
named most valuable pllyer in
the Jaycee Junior League.
Team Prospects
Evaluated for '64
Fifty gridmen, not just any gridmen,
individual
but SJHS football players
and team effort = the prospects of one
terrific season.
Adding their all to the team this year
will be the varsity lettermen Ed Bohat,
guard; Joe Borden, tackle; Don Martin,
captain and quarterback; Brad Stewart,
halfback; Andy Van Sant, fullback; and
Mike Rugg, end. lnjuries claimed two
varsity lettermen. Lost for th_ season is
fir t-string center Barry Fliess. Ed Epping
will not be able to do contact work till
Sept. l 0. Coach Rob-rt Carbone commented, "We expected quite a bit from
Ed but he won't be lo t for the sea on.'·
Other efforts for a terrific season will
b contributed by Tony Kluka, Lennie
Cicchini, Marty Bernacchi, Tom E lsen,
Bob Wade, Bill Jones, George Becker,
Bill owell, Jim Burgett, and Ray Bieber. "These guys can count on playing a
lot of football," added Coach Frank Matrise. "They'll be called on to fill the gaps
this year."
Coach Carbone commented on an interesting sidelight, "The seniors on the
squad have never been on a losing team."
As freshmen the win-loss record was 3-3,
as sophomores 6- l, a juniors_ ~-4. An
interesting thought, yes; surpnsrng, no.
Concerning themselve with team arrangement are managers Bill Schroeder,
Don Chaput, Chuck DeFrang, and Jim
Fonk. An educated though unverified
guess would be that Jim Fonk has received more letters in managing than any
team manager in SJHS hi story. He's busy
har:dling arrangements for the football,
basketball, and baseball teams all year
long. Bill Schroeder also found time to
take the Cramer Student Trainer correspondence course.
The teams uni ted aim is not solely to
win, but to win through effort, perseve rance, skill, and endless practice, individually as well as teamwise.
This aim will be seen in action for the
first time in the '64 season Sept. 12, at
8 p.m. , when the Lancers match might
with St. Philip's, Chicago in a home game.

Tenn:s
Kerry Connelly now owns a trophy a
a result of winning the Kenosha Racket
Club tennis tournament. Playing in th e
boys' 15 and under bracket, Kerry defeated Billy Werner 6-4, 4-6, and 6-3.
Now a sophomore, Kerry plans on
going out for football ar: d is also hoping
that tennis will be resumed as a participating sport here at St. Joe's.
Coach Carbone, Bill Schroeder, Don Chaput, and Coach Matrise look pretty happy about
the coming football season.
Sodality Activities
Stress 'ARD'
An e\'ening of recollection was spcmsored on Oct. 5 by the SJHS Sociality. Rev.
Eugene Bleidorn of Saint Scholastica parish
was the guest speaker.
Father Bleidorn stressed to those present
the new aspect the Sociality has taken on
this year. This new aspect is called ARD the awareness of ourselves as individuals,
the renewal of the Sociality way of life, and
the dedication to make the Sodalitv the best
possible.
Father also stressed the new aspects of
the liturgy and the effect these changes will
ha,·e on us in the world today.
The Sociality will also sponsor its first
hootcnann)' this )'Car on Oct. 24 at 8 p.m.
The "hoot" was organized by means of
committees headed by senior Socialists. Each
Sociality group will have a given day for an
announcement to help publicize the event.
The hootenanny will be opened to all
students, including those from Mary D.
Bradford High School, and to any interested adult in the cit)' , according to Rev.
Donald A. Dalekc, SPdality director.
The hootenanny will be given as a means
of raising funds to send Socialists to various
Sodalitv functions. Another hootenanny
\\ill be planned for early spring.

Conservation Camp
Attracts SJ HS Boys
New Leaders Initiate
'64-'65 JGB Program
rorthern Wisconsin was "home" recently to three Saint Joseph High juniors:
George Schmidt, Don Desnoyers, and Eric
Olson. For the first six weeks of the summer vacation, these boys represented St.
Joe's in Wisconsin's Youth Conservation
camp. The program is used for the betterment of state forests, parks, and recreational
areas.
This year's Junior Great Books Program
got under way Saturday, Sept. 26, with discussions for grade school children.
Group leaders this year are Mary Sue
1\1orrison, Sandra Stella, Joan Pietrangcli,
Laurel Hcrvat, and J\1ary Beth Schumacher,
sixth grade; Karen Greno, Carol Schwaiger,
Robert Gallo, Fred Loizzo, Kathv Smith,
Barbara Ney, Ramona Vidas, Lyn~e Petersen, Lynn Jorgen en, Peggy Dosemagen,

Cathleen Harrington, Cliff Vaux, David
Miller, Tim Onosko, Robert Beales, Annalyn Palmar, ue Hughes, Cathy Hogan,
Dianne Hammond, Donna Krahn, Jim
choley, and Chris Swift, eighth grade.
Each group will have two or three leaders who will altermte leading discussions
and acting as secretary of the group discussion, stated Sister J\lark Anne, JGB
moderator.
The leaders were given a brief look at
the program in a summer meeting at which
Dr. George Vander Beke, director of the
program in the ,\1ihvaukee area, spoke to
the student and adult leaders.
George, Eric and Don worked in the
forests by cutting, planting, girdling and
pruning trees, in wild life management
clearing land for animal inhabitants. They
also cleared trees and shrubs for campers,
and cut paths through woodland for roads
and telegraph lines.
"We also had the privilege of fire tower
duty," commented George Schmidt. "\Ve
stayed in the tower and watched the
countrv for miles around for fires."
The boys got up at six even·
morning ::nd had an hour to clean
their tents before breakfast. Their
work day lasted from eight to four.
After a five o'clock supper the boys
en joyed free time.
"We could go swimming, fishing,
watch a movie or just sit around,"
said Don Desnoyers.
Every w.:ckcnd '' e boys at the
camp were gi,·en a pass to go into

Guidance Department
Extends Counseling
A step tO\vards full-time counseling has
been taken at St. Joseph this year, according to Rev. E. \V. Ollcy, guidance director.
Four counselors will be a\·ailable daily in
the guidance rooms for personal counseling: Rev. James Clark, se,·cnth period; Sister Leonelle, second period; Sister J\ laric
Catherine, third peri'Jd; and 1r. Frank 1atrise, se,·enth period. Father Olley stated
that he also ·will be a\·ailable for counseling
from J 1 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.
The Guidance Department is also in
charge of group guidance cla ses, placement tests for incoming freshmen, and
Iowa tests.
Dedicated to You
A word to describe the faculty's
effort to educate, and the student
body's effort to be educated, is dedication . The faculty must be dedicated
to the principles of education, while
the student must be dedicated to
learning through the methods employed by the faculty.
Education is a great experience.
However, some students do not always permit this experience to happen
by allowing circumstances to deter
them from achieving their goal. Since
the path of least resistance seems to
be the easiest to follow, they may lack
the motivation and desire to do well .
You must fulfill your obligation as
a student. Where can you find help
and encouragement? Actually, you
need not look too far. Your parents
and the faculty are always interested
in assisting you . Never sell your parents short. They are best interested in
your welfare and success. The "prodding," "pushing," or "harping" is a
manner of expressing the sincere interest that they have for you. Follow
their suggestions and you will have
peace at home, peace of mind and
certainly a measure of success .
At the same time, do not sell your
faculty short. You may be surprised to
learn that they too, are interested in
you not only as a student, but as a
person as well . We fully realize that
you , as individuals, are worthy of respect and love . At times, it seems impossible to believe that people, such
as teachers, are dedicated to students
- this is the reason they have accepted
the responsibility of education.
Guidan ce has become a household
word here at St. Joseph 's. We feel that
we are doing what we can to develop
in everyone an interest in the need of
students. Many services are available
if we only know that you need them .
Become a good friend of your homeroom teacher, or a classroom teacher,
so that someone knows you wel I and
perhaps can anticipate your needs .
You need a guiding hand in your
vocation as a student. "You can't walk
alone." You need your parents and the
faculty, and - which may surprise
you - we need you . We of the faculty
once again promise to you our dedication to your needs.
Rev. Edmund W . Olley,
Guidance Director
to the Editor
'SJHS Wallops Kenosha' ToLetters
whom it may concern :
"I've watched St. Joseph High
School develop from its infancy. During the "growing pain" years, its
growth has walloped Kenosha with
its affability and Christ-like spirit. To
be associated with such an organization on a full time basis is more than
an honor. The kids here are great.
Let's hope that they become even
greater adults."

I find the school paper very interesting (if you're a poet). Don't you
think we can do with less of the poetry and more with the candid shots?
I think your readers would show a lot
more interest in the paper if there
were more items concerning the student body.
Don't you think we could organize
a group to write up a year book?
We've all seen the school papers and
when it comes to the end of the year
it is quite a let-down to receive a yearbook we've already seen . What we
want is a yearbook we can be proud
of to show off, one that we can show
interest in. Let's get on the ball and do
something about this!
Why is it we can't have othe r kids
from other schools attend our dances
if they are invited? Thank you,
Pat Koos 213
Some of these questions are frequently asked by members of the student body. We would like to clarify
them.
In regard to organizing a yearbook
staff - it is physically impossible for
the present Cha 1lenge staff to put out
a regular yearbook. We can't do the
work of the double staff, do ub le moderator, or double budget which a yearbook and newspaper would require.

We Want?
With the nation , St . Joseph 's students will go to the polls Nov . 3 . Student Council is working with local
Democratic and Republican youth
groups to present to the student body
a facsimile of the presidential elections . This presentation is "Elections
'64" which is highlighted by each student voting for their presidential candidate . This is not a "mock" election
for we are taking part in a ritual that
the entire free world depends on .
•
•
When they elected their homeroom representatives, the sophomores, juniors, and seniors expressed
a voting know-how few adults have .
If the freshmen follow the lead
presented them we will have the perfect Student Council - one with each
member highly qualified and capable.
Freshman election week is Oct.
26-30 . The procedure follows that
used during the week of Sept. 14-18,
with one exception - each freshman
candidate for the office of homeroom
representative will have to circulate
two petitions on Monday, Oct. 26 .
One is the same as used by the other
three classes on which six signatures
are to be obtained . On the second petition the candidate must obtain the
signature of his teachers who will add
a number to this . The number will
vary according to the student's record .
The principle. of this second petition
varies in its purpose to provide the
e lections committee wi t h a guide to
use in respect to handbook regulations .
With the freshmen completing our
Student Counci l it is our hope that we
can move forward faster and yet with
a high degree of efficiency. To date
many things have been thrown out
to the students: Pep Club, publicity
arrangements, "Elections '64," President's Club, and others. It is hoped
that with Council complete we will be
ab le to go back and perfect on a ll of
these new additions as wel l as keeping up the basic parts of Council.
John Landa
'64-'65 Student Council President
If, as you say, the kids are not eager
to receive a bound copy or proud to
show it off, why do we have a frant:c
rush for ext ra copies at th e end of t he
year, or enthusiastic paging through
them between classes and during
study periods?
As far as the schoo l ru les pertain·ing to the dances are concerned, we
don't have anything to do with them;
our function is putting out a newspape r. You might address your inq uiries to a qua lifi ed faculty member.

Happy October!
Well kids, this is the season '>vhcn a
)'oung man's fancy turns to thoughts of
football, and a young woman's fancy turns
to thoughts of football players. Girls, take
heart. You 'II get plenty of chances to sec
the guys in action because October is just
brimming with football games. And if you
think those cheers sound good in the gym,
have you heard them at the stadium?
But don't think the excitement ended
with Homecoming. True, the wire-stuffing,
tack-nailing, float building is over, but the
rest of the games will be just as much fun.
Then, too, there arc other ways to keep
busy. The seniors arc anxiously looking forward to Ring Day. The sophomores and
juniors, as well as the seniors, arc working
on the \T aricty Show. And the freshmen they're getting used to the swift pace and
quick spark of the other classes while culti\'ating a spirit all their own. Another job
the freshmen will have is electing homeroom representatives. l\1av the best men
win!
So, keep cheering for the Lancers and
work hard both in class and in extracurricular activities to make this year your
best at Sr. Joe's.

Typifying the sophomore class is its

and the Class of '67. H~re arc some of
Rick's opinions:
On being president of a class: "A president
can't be all talk and do nothing."
On the sophomore class: "vV c can go far,

get new blood and therefore new ideas."
discipline, coordinated effort and personal
responsibility," stated Mr. Brown.
"The newspaper business is a disease, the
onlv cure for which is more of the same."
This is the onlv wa\' l\1r. Brown can explain the compu'lsion 'which has kept him in
the newspaper business since 1948. "This
compulsion brings with it many privileges,
responsibilities, limitations. The job of an
editor is one of tremendous responsibility;
for one can influence the lives and opinions
of tens of thousands of people. It is an awesome responsibility, but accepted as a part
of our \\ ork because it is inherent in the
business. One must exercise prudence, passion and strong feelings: for the greatest
check and balance of press power is a man's
own conscience, as power is only great
when you don't use it."
Jn citing the importance of a daily newspaper, Mr. Brown said, "People have got to
know what's going on around the world;
for those happenings will ultimately affect
our Ii \ ' CS."

New Arrangement
Proves Success
Rita Patitucci, our vice-president says:
"Our class has alwa~· s come through. whate\'er the conditions. A proof of this was
our car wash which, with only two days'
organization, netted 90. Our 'council ,;,ill
be e\·en better than last vear. All the kids
who are in council are willing to work. \V c
ha\·e strong leaders who can get behind the
kids and push."
The other officers, Mary Smestad and
Tom Valeo, back these ideas and are looking forward to another great year.
Our class is a class of ideas. But these
ideas, to be put into action, must be carried
out bv everyone and not onh· a few. The
emphasis this year in the sophcm1orc class is
to put C\'cryonc into action so they can say
of the Super Sophs of '67: They came as
individuals, thC)' saw as a group, they conquered with spirit.
Yclling from table to table, traffic jams,
and utter chaos were just a few of the
many disorders that could be found in the
cafeteria of St. Joe's last year.

But, this year, due to ister Jacqueline's
practical foresight, things ha\'e changed.
Sister Irene Francis and istcr Phyllis ha\·c
arranged the cafeteria's new seatirig. There
is now a feeling of unity among students, a
a better chance of conversation, and of
course, more space.
According to ister Theodore 1\ larie,
"The new arrangement should produce a
spirit of more relaxed fellowship at the
table, a greater feeling of ease since eight
will be able to contribute to the com·crsation instead of just four." istcr definite! y
agrees that the new arrangement should
promote unit)· and class spirit by gi\'ing the
students more group awareness."
But some students feel that with this
arrangement some of their friends are left
out, causing hard feelings as well as other
similar problems. How do you feel about
this new arrangement? Drop any opinions

The mirror
Is our living room
Until you throw
A hangman's noose
or a horn from a moose
or a toy caboose
or a bottle of juice

And then you know
It's a mirror again.

Who Dares?
A yawning crevice, plunging in t o dark foreverness,
Patient,
Silent,
Waits to dash all innocence to its destruction.
Those who witness only weep
But say nothing.
Red and Blue
I am afraid,
afraid of living,
and dying.
Of life - without life
mediocre and plain
with no jagged imperfections
and no red.
Life downy smooth
and azure blue.
I am afraid of living - only to die
afraid to shoot red frre
to get involved
to ca re too much
to give in to my strength.
For then I would be different.
I would know and think and learn.
I would not be safe from the
taunts
and jeers of the "others."
I fear the "others,"
and myself.
I am afraid to live - only to die,
and afraid not to.
Who dares speak to the mighty crag,
To stop his evil treachery .
No one?
Yes, One!
With rope and pick and blasting powder
One goes to ruin the feared, co ld, killer.
One ...
With rope,
And pick,
And blasting powder.
Pink dawn, her silken mist-skirts
Spread over a rested world, reveals
A belching crevice, satisfied
With the scarlet blood of foolish
innocence.

I was very much surprised at the

Stadium To Be
'Over-used'
COACHES PLEASED WITH WIN
Lancer 11 Spirited, Capable
Following a 28-12 victory over St.
Philips of Chicago, Coaches Carbone and
Matrisc were left looking forward to future game . The Lancer ground game
clicked for heavy yardage and the passing
game wa used for ome big plays. Except for an overabundance of penalties,
the Lancer 11 played ncar-flawle s football.
A few days after the game, a smiling
Coach Carbone stated that "the victory
was a team victory and the boy worked
hard and a hit extra hard." He also gave
credit to the defcn ive line which o ably
contained the traditionally strong St.
Phil's running attack. "The offensive line
moved those big tackles and ends out on
some of our long gainers," he added.
When a ked if he thought there wa a
weak spot during the game, Coach Carbone replied, "Well, 1 thought the center
naps on the punts were weak. The punt
coverage was good, but after we work on
our centers, punting will turn into a
trong point."
Due to a ls.ck of practice a first game
i usually full of misplays, and off timing .
But the St. Phil's game wasn't like this.
The backfield and line worked perfectly
with each other. Sometimes it takes three
or four games for the players to get the
feeling of assurance that is needed for
good ball handling.
home night game we ever played," Coach
Carbone stated. "I hope that the spirit
will continue and even get better," he
add~d.
Coach Carbone paid honor to this
year' squad when he aid that "they arc
the mo t spirited team I've had. They arc
willing to work and hit hard."
Five games remain for the Lancer I I.
Two of them, the Don Bosco and St.
Catherine's games, will test the Lancers
offen ively and defensively. The St. Cat'
game will be held at Lakcfront Stadium
ov. l and the Don Bosco game will be
played in Milwaukee ov. 8. Other games
remaining are the following

Lakcfront Stadium is a beehive of activity this fall. Eight schools now play
their home football game at the tadium:
Carthage College, St. Jo eph, Bradford,
and Tremper High Schools, and Washington, McKinley, Lincoln, and Lance Junior
High Schools. In addition to these, St.
J oc 's sophomores and freshmen and
Tremper and Bradford's soph teams will
also play their football at the Stadium.
St. Joe's plays all their home games
at the stadium on Sunday afternoons except for aturday night games Sept. 12
and Oct. 3. Bradford's varsity games arc
played on Friday nights, while Carthage
occupies Saturday afternoons for its home
contests. Tremper play all it home
games on Saturday nights.
By late October the soft green sod
will have disappeared making footing
next to impossible. The City of Kenosha
definitely needs a new football stadium to
even off the pressures on the ancient
Lakcfront Stadium.
Pen alties
One thing Coach Carbone was di appointed in was the penalties. "l wi h
Andy could have gotten credit for tho e
runs," he said. Andy Van Sant ran over
the St. Phil's defense, but a couple of his
long touchdown run were called back
due to the ever-pre ent, never-wanted
penalties.
Coach Carbone doesn't have any
plans made to switch anyone from different positions yet, although he does plan
on bolstering the punt team.
Besides winning the game by a decisive margin, the Lancers were fortunate
in the injury column. Andy Van Sant uffered a minor injury which took only
about a week to heal. o other injuries
were reported to the coaches.

Rain or shine, practice makes perfect. Herc during a September rainstorm the

Sophs Working for Perfect Year
When asked how he liked coaching
the soph team entirely by himself, Coach
Sam Ritacca replied, "I thought at first it
would be a real challenge, but as the season progressed it seemed to turn into an
impossible task."
Impossible? Almost, but with the
ophs ever-present spirit and their "eagerness to learn," Coach Ritacca brought
them through. "The toughest part is
over," stated Coach Ritacca, referring to
the team' conditioning.
It seem that ophomore year spells
victory for the soph footb:ill teams. In '61

will spring the backs for long gainers.

Leslie A. Darnieder's twentieth anniversary of his ordination. A solemn High
Mass was held in his honor. Following
the Mass Father gave a homily on the

SJHS history was the whole school.
The contest is open to senior girls in
all fifty states. o previous experience in
home economics is required.

with factors in home living, desirable attitudes, understanding social significance,
and knowledge and information.
The prizes are; first prize, a $ J ,500
Betty Crocker scholarship. Second prize
is an educational tour. Each winner also
receives an award pin.
Sister thinks this is a very worthwhile
contest, and every senior girl who is intere ted in going to college should take
advantage of the scholarship opportunity.
Student Advisors
Assist Freshmen
A step taken by Student Council to
help the freshmen become acquainted
with the school this year is the student
advisory.
Each student advisor takes the responsibility of two freshman homerooms.
Lynne LeTart has 30 l and 304, Dan
Walker take care of 302 and 303, Mike
Montemurro covers 305 and 307, Chris
Hartnell has 308 and 309, and Mary Sue
Morrison has 310 and 31 1.
On the first day of school the student
advi ors gave an orientation in the homeroom). They helped the freshmen find
their seats in cafeteria and in the gym and
with their locks and lockers.
During the first week of school, the
student advisors taught the school cheers
to the freshmen and supervised their
homeroom periods on the first Tue day of
the month.
Holding discussions in the homerooms
was also part of the student advisors' duties. The first of these discussions was on
float building and organization. They are
now holding di cussions on student leadership to help the students in the up-andcoming freshman election .

Spirit of Light
Guides Seniors
"A torch has been passed to us, a
new generation." Chosen as the motto
for the Class of '65, this quote will be
seen gracing senior homerooms until
June. Taken from a speech by the late
President Kennedy, it relays the fact
that we acknowledge ourselves as a
generation of which much is anticipated. As the world's future leaders,
let us use this torch as a guidelight. So
it is fitting that our patron be the Holy
Spirit, the Light of the World.
We are living in an era of constant
change. In science many advancements and numerous discoveries are
developing . On the political scene a
new philosophy is occurring. Even in
the Church, as a result of the Council,
many renovations are being made. It
is up to us, the youth, to form a solid
Christian core, a foundation, in our unstable world.
Fred Loizzo
'64-'65 Senior Class President
Almost - but Not Quite
"Almost - but not quite." How
often do we hear the word "almost"
in our daily lives? How often are we
satisfied with "almost"?
Almost sums up another word
very common in America today - mediocrity . Mediocrity is demonstrated
by 1he "A" student who settles for
"B's" and "C's" or by the potential
.300 hitter who stagnates at .270.
Lastly, "almost - but not quite" is a
word picture of the brilliant student,
who, upon graduation from college,
takes root and vegetates in his high,
middle-class rut.
Isn't it about time that our nation,
our generation puts a stop to the
waste of youth; our most precious
natural resource? Dan iel Wal ~cer 060
A Year Later-
Let It Be Courage
It was Thanksgiving time a year
ago and the world was lost in circumstance and routine. A message of 365
days had passed since we had ref1ected on our blessings. Air Force One
landed in Dallas, Texas . The leader of
the free world, with political, ideological, personal and prejudiced foes came
again to display the courage common
to his life. But one foe would be effective to silence his zesty vigor and stun
a sleeping nation.
Let us not be bitter or regretful or
hypothetical but instead be thankful
that for a time we were loaned by the
Provident a leader equal to the times .
He accepted the torch with courage in
Clare Lucareli 104
"Why does one smoke? . . . Oh, that's simple! To run
away from life; to fill the emptiness of the heart; to give
oneself the illusion of force . . . Speed? . . . Likewise: the
illusion of force. The weak individual who has only to step
on the gas to eat up the road; to frighten people, to pass
other cars, and pass again! . . . To win without effort. To
become an ogre: the ideal of small creatures!"

Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
I have only two criticisms. I think
you should have more pictures on the
front page, with more write-ups on
the sports events and social events at
school ; we would be more interested
in the paper. Maybe if the Challenge
would have some kind of Keen Teen
of the Month it would arouse a new
interest. This could be divided between upper and lower classmen; one
write-up for each group .
Sam laquinta 105
To the Editor:
I think the Challenge staff is doing
a great job. Through associations with
staff members, I found out the work
involved in the publication of the
Challenge.
I especially like the feature page
articles in the October issue. Keep up
the good work.

Sodality's Social Nature
Love and Care
The word "Soda Iity" is often misunderstood, primarily because of the
lettering and sound of the word rather
than the spir it which it enunciates. Sociality is an action group in which each
member learns more about Chri~t.
This group is of a social r.ature. Here
the relat:on -hip between Christ and
the individual grows. This relationship
is the pr'.mary a :m of the program . As
Reverend Donald Daleke p"Jts it, "It's
a lively organization for those living
for Heaven, and also the pivotal group
in the school."
a time when courage meant the evil
of involvement and he prophetically
spoke, "The torch has been passed to
a new generation of Americans ." Are
we equal to the task? Do we trust the
blazed trail of the new frontier? Can
we be as responsibly unselfish?
In the order of time the water of
life washes on the imaged sands of
memory . But can it destroy a craven
ideal? Do we not owe him one thing?
I ask only, future fellow citizens, that
if we bring one thing to life, let it be
courage - the courage he so much admired, and lived and died for.
Vol. 7, No. 3_ _ _ _ _ _ November, 1964
Because this is an action group,
Socialists are involved in all activities;
evening of ref1ections, time spent with
the children at Southern Colony, a
hootenanny, or teaching catechism to
ihe orthopedic children on Sundays.
It is simply showing love and care to
those who need it.
Father has given Sociality an alias
- "A.R.D.; awareness, renewal, and
doing. It is an awareness of who we
are, a renewal of why we are, and
ded ication."

Sister Mary Francis taught the freshmen
the facts of library life, from card catalogs, through dictionaries, encyclopedias,
and magazine publications.
Not only freshmen ha\'e work to do
there: over ·30 juniors and seniors arc taking part in the library aid program. They
gi,·c up their time before, after, and during
school to perform duties which include
checking books in and out, reorganizing
shelf after shelf of uprooted books, and
helping to keep peace and quiet in the

Freshmen Excite Spirit
Those first hectic months are oYer, and
the freshmen ha\'e developed their O'>\'n
spirit of class unity.
Besides being an outlet for the wit and
energy of t he sophomores, the freshmen
benefit St. Joe's in another wav. They act
as a stimulus to the rest of the school because the pride of the other classes urges
them to keep ahead. But, t his year's Freshman Class has that quality of frcshncs , willingness, and cnthu iasm that belongs to
freshme n alone.
Their homecoming floa ts were as wellmadc and imaginati,·c as any produced by
the other classes, and their attendance at the
homecoming game \\'as the highest in the
school.
It's already evident that the sophomore ,
juniors, and senior \\'ill have to work hard
just to keep up with the Class of '68.

Attention all girls S'S" and under!
We, the girls of S'6" and over, absolutely idolize you. Our one desire in
this world is to be SHORT. You have
no idea of how much you are envied
by us. Why, you don't know how easy
you've got it. When you're dancing
with a boy you can stand on tip-toe
and peer over his manly shoulders at
your friends . Dancing with a boy for
us is sometimes like looking into a
forest of neatly combed hair.
Folding into a compact car isn't as
easy as it looks, and getting your head
chop;Jed off in a mirror isn't exactly
flattering. So, we have decided in our
heaven there will be no boys under
S'S", and if possible no girls over
S'6" . If we can't shrink ourselves, we'll
have all our cars equipped with a retractable floorboard for us to stretch
our feet out. Every mirror will have an
adjustable height track for it to roll on.
We hate to inconvenience you; but
after all you did have your heaven on
earth.
Mary Hammelev 211
A slouching man moves with shuffling
feet,
Midday and the sun was riding high,
But he saw no beauty in the earth or
sky .
Beside him an unseen Spirit walked,
Often and softly to him it talked.
It would say:
"We've travelled together a long way,
But I leave you, my friend, today .
I have whispered warnings to guide
you right,
have followed you morning, noon,
and night.
I have taken your hand and urged you
on
To seize the chances that now are
gone .
I have coaxed and driven and pulled
in vain,
And thundered cautions time and
again.
To what avail? Ah , behold you now,
The sunken eye and lifeless brow.
I leave you now, my friend,
For there is no school
For the man determined to be a fool."
"And who are you?"
Sneered the man with a grin.
Then said the Spirit,
"The man you might have been."
Tom Gerum 206
My Heart's Vision
Please forgive me
For calling you names,
But I was just a blind fool
And could see nothing
But the darkness of your skin.
But perhaps He loves you
Even more
Than He loves me.

'Tourists' Invade
Kettle Moraine
"It was interesting and educational. It
tremendously to an aesthetic appreciation of our state in the fall," commented
Sister Aloysiana on the field trip taken bv
the World Geography class to Kettle Mciramc.
The purpose of the trip was to study
the land forms of vVisconsin and sec the
beauty of the area in the fall. The bus
st?ppcd at Lapham Peak where the group
climbed a tower for a view of the Kctt'.c
Moraine. From here they went to the
grounds of St. John's 1ilitarv Academy
and to the Halquist Lannon Stone Quarr\'
at Sussex. They were given a guided tou"r
through the quarry and many of the students found interesting spccimincs of rock
from all parts of the country and the world.
After leaving Sussex, the "bus traveled to
Waukcshau \\"here Dr. Richason, the head
of the geography· department at Carroll
College showed the students many of the
interesting labs in geography, cart'ography,
a.nd earth science. He cxplzined the possible careers and courses colleges offer a

Hi again .
You know, 1ovember is rea lly a sharp
month. It's a kind of remembering month,
and \\"e\·e sure got a lot to look back on.
H omecoming was just cut out to be a
success. In two short months we've carved
the name Lancers into the realm of football
greats.
Rin g Day sharpened the seniors' pride.
Retreat, hopefully, made a deep impression
on everyone. Iowa tests pointed out how
much we didn 't know.
As usual, we cur a fine figure in the Varict \' Sho\\'. A nd in class, meanwhile, we've
been hacking our way from the underbru h
of geography to the stars of cience.
And even if the first quarter left us a
little on edge, it cleared a path for the other
three.
\Vouldn't you just like to take a slice of
TOl·cmbcr and sa1·e it forc1·cr?

New Choir Sings Out
One of the purest forms of choral art,
according to many ~.u thorities, is a cappella
singing. This year the 111usic department is
proud to introduce the A Cappella Choir

Since unaccompanied singing is the supreme test for a choral group, the students

What individual do you feel is doing the most to
meet the challenge of the 60's ?
My dad.
Eileen Gorecki 111
There are many people who are
meeting the challenge of the 60's. One
of these is Martin Luther King. He has
shown outstanding leadership among
the Negroes. He is coping with America's most important problem - RACE.
Linda Speree 310
The decade of the sixties has
brought many great challenges, and
our great leaders have met them courageously. Pope Paul VI is one of these.
He is working diligently through the
Ecumenical Council to find principles
by which, all people can live.
The individual who I feel is doing
the most to meet the cha Ilenge of the
60's is Adlai Stevenson. As chief mediator of the United Nations, his greatest
challenge was his stand on the Cuban
crisis.
William Jones 112
Danny Thomas, because of his
work to raise funds for research of
crippling diseases.
Larry Andersen 317
I think that Senator Dirksen of Illinois met the challenge of the 60's,
when he passed the Civil Rights Bill
through Congress without allowing
southerners to force unnecessary
changes.
Tom Carelli 214
Mrs . Jacqueline Kennedy, because
of the way she has lived through one
of the greatest tragedies in the sixties
in a very dignified and reserved way.
Carol Tenuta 060
The person who, in the sight of
God, can stand erect and say he is
proud of his faith, and defend it, no

Camille Falak 206
Pope Paul VI, because by continuing the Ecumenical Council he has carried over the idea of Pope John XXlll,
to revolutionize the Christian world.

President Johnson - the moments

Pat Simo 070
Tom Loizzo 309
I feel that Doctor Albert Schweitzer is doing the most to meet the cha 1lenge of the 60's. Since he first set up
his hospital, people have been treated
there for every known disease. His
philosophy, summarized in the words,
"Reverence for life," is derived from
an acceptance of personal responsibility toward life, thus trying to reduce
all suffering in the world.
Eileen Patterson 112
U Thant, because as Secretary General of the United Nations he tries to
keep peace in the world. The 60's are
challenging years, but this man has
the ability to meet these challenges.
Lucille Cristiano 108
The late President Kennedy did
much to improve the '60s. He not only
acted as a good Catholic, but governed the country to the best of his
ability. He showed initiative and set
an example for his country.
Claudette Couch 301
Cassius Clay . . . because he said
so!
After the assassination of the late
President John F. Kennedy, a person
with determination and strength, kept
America functioning. He was Lyndon
B. Johnson. Taking this burden upon
his shoulders was no easy task. He had
to meet problems that no other president had had to meet before. Under
pressure and strain, he kept America
at its ever-increasing pace, and didn't
falter when obstacles stood in his
path.
A great person died for his country, but a person of great magnitude
has taken that vacancy and filled it to
its greatest capacity.
Charles Schmitz 112
Chuck Pfeiffer 211
Walt Disney. He takes our mind
away from the mass confusion that is

Kathy Mitchell 060
Our parents, who help us become
better teenagers so that we'll be better
citizens.
Carol Platt 227
John Howard Griffin has done the
most to help solve the race problem.
I think he must have had great faith
in himself and God to become a
Negro.
Barbara Serpe 102
Pope Paul VI because he is striving
for church unity around the world,
through the Ecumenical Council.

Vince Lombardi - he's a great

Lancer 11 Conference Chomps? Frosh Gridders
Since St. Joseph High School came
into existence, we have never gained the
coveted award of being conference football champ .
Many fine teams have played hardnosed football under the Lancer name,
but an undisputed fir t place fini h has
never occurred for Lancer gridmen.
Before this season began, coaches and
local grid experts looked upon this year's
team to be one which could carry the banner for St. Joe's.
The cason opener found St. Philip's
of Chicago invading Lakefront Stadium
to "tack le" the Lancer eleven. After a
hard fought, well played, game, the Lancer wound up with a 28-12 victory.
Sept. 20 came around and the Lancer' met Whitefish Bay Dominican. Again
St. Joe's triumphed 28 to 19, for their
fir t conference win.
The following Sunday, Marquctt~
High , traditionally powerful, squeaked
pa s the Lancers with a 7-6 victory. Following the Marquette game St. John Military Academy fell to St. Joe's, 27-0.
Oct. 11 found the Lancers on their
first away game. lt didn't eem to bother
them though as they crushed otre Dame
of Milwaukee 34-7.
ext to fall to the Lancer touchdown
machine was St. John Cathedral. The
mo t action of the game was seen in the
first few minutes , as the Eagles and Lancers scored two T.D.' apiece.
After two lightning-quick touchdowns
by Cathedral, the Lancers settled down
to wind up with a 33-14 victory.
Both offensive and defensive lines
played a hard-hitting game. Holes were
constantly opened while the Lancers
played ball control the second half. Defen ively, Cathedral's ground game was
almost completely stopped.
Lack Spirit: Coach
Paul Meier
Brad Stewart is shoved out of bounds by
Marquette defenders after he picks up a
sizeable gain. Looking on, are from left,
Coach Carbone, Coach Matrise, and Coach
Karnes.
On Oct. 25, the Lancer traveled to
Milwaukee's orth Stadium to take on
Mes mer in the latter's homecoming
game. Thi time the powerful St. Joe's
offense had its troubles. Mike Rugg
hauled in two pas es and Ed Bohat added
an extra point as the Lancer defeated the
Bishops J 3- J 2.
The same day Waukesha Memorial
knocked off Marquette from the undefeated ranks and forced them into a tie
for second with St. Joe's. As of the 25th
of Oct., Don Bosco was in first place with
a 5-0 record. St. Joe's and Marquette
were tied for second with 4-1 records.
At pres time , if the Lancers beat
both St. Cats and Don Bosco, and Marquette loses, St. Joe's would have a first
place football team , for the school's first
time.
"They have the potential, but they lack
the spirit," quoted Coach Karnes, referring to hi s ixty-four man freshman team.
At press time the freshmen have recorded
three losses so far, but there is always
hope. They suffered losses to St. Catherine's 27-0, Marquette 39-0, and Don
Bosco 27-6. Some of the frosh hope and
potential lies in the quarterbacking of cocaptain Tom Loizzo and Daniel Saftig.
The team shows promise in hard running
backs like Dan Viola and Gene Laski.
An outstanding play so far came on
a sixty-yard pass play to co-captain John
Kirsh which racked up the six points
against Don Bosco. Coach also stated that
Kirsh has great potential as an end. The
team has a better passing attack than they
do running. Coach's final tatement was,
"If we didn 't build a football team this
year, we did build character." Coach also
thinks the frosh spirit will come around.
Sports Scope
Bob Crist and Bob Mars, now attending LaCrosse State Col lege, have made
the football team there. They are both
graduates of the class of '64. Tom Regner,
class of '63, now playing with Notre
Dame, was second in tackles as of midOctober for the Fighting Irish.
St. Phillip of Chicago, which the
Lancers defeated 28-12 in this seasons
opener received an honorable mention
for all school in the Chicagoland area.
The placings were judged by coaches of
the area.
Wr es tl e r s : Powerful Again
Why arc we so good at wrestling?
"Because all the boys who go out for the
sport have the drive and dcsi re to earn a
first string position on the team," boasts
head coach Frank Matrise.
Paul Meler
Andy Van Sant scoots around left end as
Marquette defenders converge on the Lancer
power r u nner.
"This year's team will depend solely
on juniors," says Coach Matrise, for
Andy VanSant, the only returning enior
letterman , is among juniors Paul Swetish, Jeff Siemion, Dan Stoner, Bruno
Fani, and sophomore John Capelli. "I'm
very confident in this year's team, however, and I'm sure that with their spirit
and abilities, they'll live up to previou
12
standards set by St. Joseph's wrestlers,"
confides Coach Matrise.
And confidence he must have, for
with a record number of 52 consecutive
wins, Coach hopes to "hit the l 00 mark"
and take the fifth traight state championship for St. Joseph.
Three matmen tc:ims are scheduled
for this year's season. With 97 boys trying out for wrestling - the largest group
ever in St. Joe's history, according to
Coach Matri e. "We have to find more
meets and schools to wrestle, so more
boys will get a chance for outside competition."

Student Leaders Meet
In Presidents Club
The newly formed Presidents Club
held its first meeting Nov. 12, with thirteen SJHS students attending. Created by
a vote of Student Council, the function of
the club will be to act as a coordinator of
school activities.
Member hip i restricted to the heads
of school organizations. Representing
their organizations at the first meeting
were John Landa, Student Council; Paul
Meier, Science Club; Len Garofalo, Sociality; Laura Serpe, Chorus and Madrigals; Lynn LeTart, Pep Club; Christine
Wineland, Future Teacher of America;
Pam Marx, Lancettes; Mike Laskis, Junior Class; Tom DeFazio, Debate; Judy
Johnson, Spanish Club and Forensics; Pat
Gober, French Club; Rick Lichter, Sophomore Class; Sue Mico, CHALLE GE.
Future aims for the President Club
were pre ented in a general discu sion.
Two points brought out were that the club
would be a means of mutual help between
the school organizations; as a function of
Student Council, members could pass on
information to their respective organizations and in this way bring about personal
contact with the student body.
The Presidents Club will meet the
third Tuesday of every month to chart
school activities for the coming month a
an aid to Student Council and the student
body.
Band Plans Active Season
With the coming of a new year, St.
Joe's Swing Band will be turning it attention toward the tate wing band competition in Milwaukee. La t year the band
tied for a econd in class A competition.
Although the band will not be quite
the ame as it was in the Variety Show,
due to a cut-down of four or five trumpets
in the bras section, Mr. Bunic think the
over-all sound will increase in quality.
The extra trumpets were u ed o that
everyone would be familiar with the music when it came time to tryout for Milwaukee.
Included in the brass section will be
five trumpets, two baritones, three trombones, a tuba, and a French horn.
The reed section will include a bass
clarinet, two alto, a baritone, and two

The rhythm section, composed of a
piano and drum combination, round out
the band. Members were selected through
tryout from the regular Concert Band.
This band is also preparing for competition. Last year's rating was rather low,
but thi year, with extra attention being
paid to detail , Mr. Bunic feels that the

When Will It Be Christmas?
Tommy Philips wakes up early one
morning. Looking out the window, he
sees a white feathery blanket covering the ground. He dresses quickly
and runs downstairs to find a room
full of brightly packaged gifts. In a
corner, half hidden by the pre~ents, is
a beautifully decorated evergreen
tree. Then outside, a cell chimes an::l
a group of happy vo:ces sing "O Come
All Ye Faithful." Tommy Ph ilips knows
it's Christmas.
That same morning, Pepe Lopez, a
Costa Rican boy, wakes up early too,
not because he is excited, but because
he is hungry. He must be quiet so as
not to wake his four brothers and two
sisters who sleep with him. His parents are gone to work already, so Pepe
dresses and starts out for town. He
must pick a good corner today, he
thinks, or he may not eat tonight. It is
not Christmas for Pepe Lopez.
Pepe has no presents. His father
is working now, but for how long?
And with low wages and high taxes,
how can there be gifts when there is
seldom enough even for food? That is
why Pepe must resort to street begging.
Tommy has been preparing for
Christmas for weeks. His classroom
has a tree and a jolly old Santa face
pasted on the blackboard. In church,
there are huge evergreens surrounding a replica of a stable. In the stable
is a tiny doll called Jesus and around
him are a mother and a father statue.
Tommy knows the Christmas story by
heart and follows closely as the priest
reads it that morning from the gospel
of St. Luke.
Pepe hardly knows when Christmas is coming. His classroom has no
tree; in fact, he has no classroom.
There is no school because there are
no teachers. There are no priests,
either, to tell the story of the Christ
Child . Even his parents have never
told him about the quiet night in Bethlehem when the Savior was born. His
parents are never home much. For
Pepe, Dec. 25 is just another lonely
day. When will it be Christmas for
him?
Will it be when people from other
countries donate gifts to him or come
and teach him the Christmas story or
say Mass for him? No, that will only
be the advent. When one of Pepe's
friends, or perhaps Pepe himself,
comes back to teach his people and
build their schools and say their
Masses and house their homeless and
feed their hungry, then Pepe Lopez
will know it's Christmas. And Tommy
Philips can listen all he wants to the
carolers, but their song won't compare
with the alleluja Pepe will sing in his
heart.

Dec. 30 marks the end of 6 V2
"wonderful" years at St. Joe's for Sister Ritarose. "I've been here since
August, 1958, and I've loved every
minute of it," commented Sister. She
will leave for Costa Rica, where she
will teach at St. Clare College, with
Sisters Columcille and Francis Xavier.
In her years at St. Joe's, Sister Rita-
rose has taught Art I, 11, a rt crafts,
Religion I, and a summer session of
English. At St. Clare's she will teach
English and art, and possibly religion
and phy3ical education.
Sister has been connected with
Sociality at St. Joe's for five years. And
last year, she served as moderator of
the entire organization along with Father Sheridan . In San Jose, Sister will
be working along with Sisters Columcille, Francis Xavier and the other
me:mbers of the Apostolate, to inspire
the students to study the problems of
Costa Rica and do something about
them.
Christmas, 1964
Dear Everyone,
This is a CELEBRATION, a MYSTERY, a THANK YOU,
and a GOODBYE. It will be short ... and every word will
be meant . . . for EVERYMAN . I want to be personal, direct, affectionate, and strong, so I borrow from the apostle,
Paul:
Brothers and Sisters,
"I have confidence in the Lord Jesus that He
who has begun a good work in you will bring it
to perfection for the day of Christ Jesus. It is
only fitting that I should feel so about all of you
BECAUSE I HOLD YOU CLOSE TO MY HEART.
. . AND BECAUSE IN MY DEFENSE AND
CONFIRMATION OF THE GOSPEL, ALL OF YOU
SHARE IN MY FORTUNE.
GOD CAN TESTIFY FOR ME HOW I LOVE YOU
ALL IN THE HEART OF JESUS CHRIST.
And my prayer for you is that your love may
grow richer and richer in the fullness of knowledge and understanding: so that you may discern what is best and may keep yourselves upright and blameless for the Day of Christ."
Paul to the Philippians
I do not consider working in another country out of
the ordinary; to me it is an opportunity, a privilege, and a
challenge. Realizing my own weaknesses, I ask you to pray
that I never make HIM look unattractive. If, in the past
6% years, I have made you think Him so, I ask your
pardon and will promise prayers on my part that you
daily understand how wonderful it is to be a Christian anywhere - LOVING EVERYTHING, even the most
"earthy" . .. for the right reasons! Thank you for being
CHRIST, and therefore, real to me.
And .. . "Hasta la vista"
for the Day of Christ!
I will miss you VERY much.

Know Your
Wrestling
In order to watch a wre tling match
properly, one mu t know some of the
basic terms dealing with points and holds.
The following Ji t provide ome basic
which every wre tling fan should be familiar with.
1st takedown-when the match begins, th e first wrestler to legally bring hi
man to the mat gains 2 points.
Reversal-a wrestler, who through a
quick move, breaks away from a hold ,
and commands his own hold, gains 2
points.
Escape -breaking away from a hold :
l point.
Pred icament -results when a wrestler
gets a hold on his man which is difficult
to break: 2 points.
Pin -pinning opponent shoulders to
the mat. Automatic victory and 5 points.
ow that the point systems of wre tling are a little more clear, the victories
which the Lancer wrestlers hope to gain
become clear also.
Congratulation to Andy Van Sant.

Better Height Brightens Chances
Lancer S in Rebuilding Year
'Thi is definitely a rebuilding year for
the basketball team,"' says head coach
Rob-.rt Radigan. Out of eight lettermen
from last ea on' team, only two - Jim
Baietto, captain, and Don Martin - are
returning. Joe Martino, Pete Bieneman
and Ken Wiberg are also returning from
last year's rank on varsity.
"Better potential and a greater height
average than ever before," Coach Radigan s1ys ·'will make up for the lack of
experience of many of the boys on the
team." Three ophomore who will be
likely to gain varsity experience this year
are Dick Polanski, John Wojtak, and
Mike Vernezze. One of the team's biggest
a et i depth. "With the depth we have
and tlie quality of our tarters, we should
end up in the middle of the standings at
the season's end,"' declares Mr. Radigan.

New Coaches Head
Frosh, Sophs
The freshman and sophomore basketball teams are under the leadership of
two new coache this year.
Mr. George Vergara, moderator of
s8phomore homeroom 316, and a Spanish I instructor, coaches the freshmen.
Mr. Vergara, when asked if he had any
experience in basketball, replied, "I
played basketball for half a season, but
then switched to wrestling." Ab8ut twenty-five freshmen went out for bas!<etball
thi year. According to coach Vergara,
"There aren't too many boys over six
feet, but they all have plenty of spirit."
Mr. Daniel Chubrilo, who is the modc:ator of sophomore homeroom 222, and
teaches English 11 and American History,
coache the sophomores this year. Although coach Chubrilo, has had no previous experience coaching a basketball
team, he did play basketball in high
school. About twenty sophomores went
out for basketball this year. According to
coach Chubrilo, the sophomores will be
playing under a slight handicap. "Two of
the five tarters of last year's freshman
team have been brought up to varsity this
year. Because of this , we won't have much
height on our team , so we're going to
have to rely on speed," he explained.
Senior Ken Wiberg goes in for a layup.

In a recent interview with Jim Baietto,
captain of this year's basketball te:.im, the
strong points and weaknesses of the team
were discussed.
"We are taller than la t eason's team.
We might be the tallest team St. Joe's
ever had," Jim state . Height on a Lancer
basketball team i u ually drastically
Jac'<ing.
Just r.s la t year, the team speed will
be an aseet. Although sp-ed will not be
the prime factor for offensive drives, it
will play a part in the offensive scheme.
The combination of height and speed
could start the fast break clicking at any
time.
Lancer basketball fans will no doubt
see the fast break used whenever possible.
"When the fast break is ineffective, we'll
be able to shoot from outside because our
over-all shooting average won't be bad ,"
Jim said.
In a summary of what can be expected for the '64-'65 season, Jim figures
teamwork will be the main factor determining a winning or losing season.

'Consider Yourselves
One of Us'
··consider yourself at home; consider
yourself one of the family . . . . " These
words sp<:ak for everyone at St. Joe' the
welcome expressed for our two south-ofthe-bordcr friends, Pedro Domit and
Jaime Moreno. Visiting here from Mexico
tor two month . , Pedro and Jim arc finding their stay in Kenosha very en joyablc.
Pedro Domit, guest of Debbie Smith
while visiting Keno ha, comes from Mexico City where he attends the Institute of
Cumbres. An interesting point to notice
1s Pedro·s school's manner of marking.
Differing from the American system or A
through F, they mark I 0 through I. Pedro ranks 8.9. He speaks not only Spanish and English, but also Arabic. He has
two brothers and two sisters. His father
owns both the factory which manufactures unn Busch <,hoes and a chain of
tores which sells them. His family employs four servants and one chauffeur.
Pedro's favorite sports arc hockey, which
he plays on hi school team, golf, (he has
a score of 41 for 9 holes!!) and tcnni .
He loves to ski and is anxious for sufficient snow to do so.
Pedro likes St. Joe' and Kenosha extremely well. He especially likes the idea
of a coeducational school, since he himself come from an all boys school. He
also en joys vi iting the various classes
throughout the school, particularly those
entirely composed of girl ! When as~<ed
what he likes best about St. Joe's, he replied, "Food and girls," not necessarily
m that order.
J aimc Moreno, guest of Dick Seager
while visiting Kenosha, also comes from
Vlcxico City where he attends the Central
University of Mexico. His school having
the same ranking system as Pedro's chool,
Jim has a rank of 8.6 Jim peak both
Spani h and English. He has two sisters,
three brothers. and a very famous parent. His father is Minister of Health of
'vlexico, \\hich most likely account for
the fact that the Morcnos own 14 car .
His family employs eight crvants and
four chauffeurs.
Jim's favorite sports are pole vaulting
and horseback. riding and he spends much
of his time at home astride one of his
eight horses. He loves to dance and does
o very well. Like Pedro, he i also from
an all boy school and thoroughly enjoy
\ isiting a coeducational chool.
Both boys are Catholic and 16 year
old. Jn their native ci ty, they frequently
go to movies and ice skating rinks, much
the amc as U.S. teenagers.

but what about the future? The future ,
when the red begins to fade and th e
white frays around the edges . Do we
change into the costume of the " average adult?" Habit would force this a s
the only route to fol low . It doesn't
sound very exc it ;ng.
In this stage of life, we are given
an allowance of one future, to spend
as we please. Will we squander it on
bargain imitations or will we buy a
worthwhile life of our own, with a
down payment of ambition, and annual installments of hope, hard work ,
and foresight. Right now there are
scholarships, school offices, and sports
recognitions waiting to be achieved
through ambition. Ambition, that cannot be bought like a bag of marshmallows, but can only be found from
within.

The Presidential L-ement
The Jetter " L " took its shape from a
symbol used in ancient Egypt representing
the goad, which was a staff used to drive
or urge on. (Check the irony!) All the
presidents of St. Joe's begin with the Jetter L:
Lucky Loizzo, better known a Frederick the Great. He has long ruled as King
of the Seniors. The easygoi ng style of ole'
fearless Fred has won the heart of his
subjects for four years.
Likeable Lord Laskis, better known
as Mike the Messiah of the Junior Cla .
Ably has he Jed hi s subjects through
storm and trife. Hail , Mike!
Loveable Lichter, . better known a
Richard the Lion-hearted. Rick has come
a long way from the hills of Somers. Hi
friendly smile and harp wit cause his
subjects to gladly adhere to his wishes.
La t but not lea t, another Loizzo. It
seems royal blood runs in the fam ily. If
any inherited characteri tic are noted,
we can be a ured of a succe sfu l rule .
But poor ole' Tom i bottom man on the

God's Country
Wild is the West with its wind ,
rain, and foe . Yet there is something
about it that gets in your blood and
makes you feel like you want to run ,
laugh, be glad and serious all at the
same time . If you have ever traveled
through any of the western states,
with all their beauty, you can't help
feeling close to God . There is such a
free open feeling one receives when
riding alongside snow-capped mountains or picturesque green valleys . The
warmth one feels from the effects of
rapidly changing light and colors seen
at daybreak or sunset is indescribable .
The West is God's country .

The Spirit of 1627
What is wrong with the students
of St. Joseph High School? Where is
their spirit, their go-to-it-iveness? Why
are they constantly complaining about
not feeling a part of Student Council
and about the lax job their representatives are doing? Take these typical
high school students, for example:
First, there is Gossip Gurdy. She
declares that she just doesn't feel that
her homeroom representative is correctly representing her in Student
Council. But does Gurdy bother to
give him a push and let him know
about it? Of course, she does! - In an
indirect way, of course. The topic is
always brought up over the cafeteria
table when Gurdy declares, "What a
rotten rep we have!"
Then, there is Big Mouth Bertram.
He very loudly insists that his homeroom simply never does anything. But
whenever there is a call for volunteers
to put up a bulletin board or plan a
homeroom party, Bertram has too
many other things to do.
These are common situations in
average homerooms. What can be
done about them? First, realize who
these people are by glancing around
your homeroom and, while you're at
it, take a look in your own backyard.
Could you be classified as a Big Mouth
Bertram or Gossip Gurdy? Next, don't
sit there and just talk about it DO SOMETHING!
Speak to your representative or
and remember - actions DO speak
alternate, volunteer for committees,
loude r than words.

The class of '65 has affected St.
Joe's more than any other class in the
school. One reason, of course, is that
we've been he re the longest. But we
don't base our claim on se n iority
alone. Our class has ini t iated many
ideas and projects that have affected
the student body. Among these are
new e lection procedu res, pep club,
big buddy program with th e freshmen, sending money to Costa Rica,
Sadie Hawkins Dance, Hi week, the
FBI, and KU RY!
Our class has also brough t recognition to St. Joe's by the many hono rs

To this year's seniors, Station K. U.R.
Y. is well known. In all probability, however, K.U.R.Y. is just a hazy uncertainty
in the mind of the unfortunate underclassmen unfortunate becau e they
don't get to listen to K.U.R.Y. So if a
little light were shed on this subject, no
doubt everybody would profit, including
the K.U.R.Y . staff anything would
h ;'. p them.
K.U.R.Y. is the weekly Senior Class
radio program which broadcasts to the
ten s ~ nior homerooms at 11 :38 on Tuesday . (This is the time that the radio staff
members sight as their regular broadca ting time , but they often miss their mark
by one or two days. Indeed , sometime
they are not even on the air.)
Generally the purpose of the radio
program is to inform ar:d entertain. B'Jt
of cour e, there are those people who ay
it ha done neith~r.

WOW! Watch out for all tho e cheering, yelling fans. They're Carthage fan

pretty good workout too at all basketball
games and wrestling meets.
There are other new faces, too. Pedro

And the new year brings with it new

The name of the show itself is '"Madhouse 90." The broadcasting locale vari ... s from the general office to the auditorium wi th roving reporters in isolated
portion of the building. The adroitness
of the staff enables them to do the sho\\

The format of the show opens with a
little fanfare and theme music which et

the K. .R.Y. Hall of Fame. The Fiasco
throws attention on some occurrence of
the previou week in a satirical manner.
thi occurrence being something that was
humorous or ironical. The Hall of Fame
recall some historical figure who seemed
to be a "square p\!g in a round hol e."
This leads into the main part of the
how which is mostly popular music.
K.U.R.Y. ha the unique ability of playing ong over the air b fore they have
even been relea ed on records in the
United States, as any senior could ea ily

Beside comical skits, one of the most

Well, the opinion varies from overwhelming approval to despairing indifferenc .

"For a team that lack.s experience I

varsity bas!~etball coach Robert Radigan
whose team at press time has won two

"The pace of a varsit) game i much

So many of the mi takes the underclassmen make are due to this fa ter pace,.,
he added.
After dropping the season opener to
Chicago Holy Trinity 74-61, the Lancer
downed Chicago St. Gregory 65-62. Later
on that week Coach Radigan began working hi team on a man to man, zone defense. In this defense the two guard cover man to man and the forwards and center play a 7one. This defense wa tried
out for the first time again t St. Catherine's, but the Angels were too powerful
and defeated the Lancers 4 7-42. Following this game the Lancer were beaten by

haven't had as much luck this year, however. They have one win and two losses

queezed in between.

in 62 % of their shots in a victory over
t. John Military Academy.
"We're pretty well off as far as the
bench goe this year. Dick Polan ki and
Mike Vernezze will be seeing more action
and in turn gaining valuable experience
for next year," Coach tated. "John Wojtak. ha impressed me and is doing a fine
job, as well as Tim Montecn, who at press
time leads the varsity in rebounding."
A far as scoring goes, Jim Baietto
leads the team with 69 points in 5 game ,
Joe Martino 51, Tim Monteen 46, John
Wojtak 45, Pete Bieneman 33, Bill Nowell 30, and Don Martin 22.
The Lancer will see action in the
State Catholic Regional Tournament, in
which the semi-finals and finals ' ill be
held at t. Catherine on Feb. 19 and
Feb. 21.
Sophs Start with Win
The sophomore ba ketball team, after
a succe ful freshman year, hope to improve on la t year' 8-5 record. Coach
Dan Chubrilo's quad, however, lacks
overall height due to the loss of three
players to the v'.lrsi.y.
The team has won all its non-conference games beating Holy Trinity 52-50,
St. Gregory 62-40, and St. John's Military
Academy 51-43. But the team lo tit two
conference games, bowing to t. Catherine's and Piu . The starting five include<;
George Chrornik, Bill Evans, Mike Flately, Dave Benell, and Tod Augustine,
Jack Kappus, and Steve Paradise. The
team feels the pro pects arc good for
another v.inning season.
Wrestlers Keep
String Going
"The excellent pirit of the boys at the
meet , the incrca ing support of the fans,
and the participation of the Varsity wre tier , has again put t. Joseph in the running for the State and Conference Champion hips," say Coach Frank Matrise.
He also added that "the coachc of other
high school feel, th3t to beat St. Joe's is
to complete a season well done, even if
the Lancer are the only team they beat."
Thi attitude toward the wrestler how
the respect and admiration St. Joseph's
i given by the other coaches and teams.
The Lancer matmcn, "not having
much varsity experience, arc continually
acquiring the necessary speed, agility and
endurance as the season progrc ses," declares Coach Matri c. And with 13 of the
original 16 varsity wrestlers coming back
next year, this will be a great as ct and
should keep the winning streak going.
With a state record of the most conecutive wins under the Lancer belts,
Coach Matri e and the wrestlers would
like to see the "100" game winning treak
become a reality, something very few
chools in the nation have ever come
clo e to.
Frosh Need Drive
At pres · time, the freshman cager
have an 0-2 record. One of the main reasons for the below average showing by
the fre hrnen is a lack of pirit in the first
half, together with typical starting trouble . 1n the second half, the boys storm
out but still lacks points, and it takes
points to win. "The boys have to work together more out on the court, and there's
not enough passing," tated Coach Vergara. "We have the material, but the boy
just don't work together," he add:!d.
Tim Gerou
Only two St. Joe's wrestler have remained undefeated in two or more
matche . Torn Karaway, a junior. has two
win and a draw. Ken Rizzo, a sophomore, has two win and 0 losses.
The \\Cak point of the J.V. team is
120 lbs. and under. Thi i due to the fact
that there aren·t many boys out at that
weight. On the other hand an abundance
of boys are out at 133-145 lbs. making
this the strong point. The J.V.'s consist
mostly of freshmen and sophomores which
make the team a little inexperienced.
Coach Francois aid "because of the
lack of experience on this year' J.V.
quad we are trying to give as many boys
as possible an opportunity to gain meet
experience."

on every tree and fence in the city.
Realizing their love as being the real
thing, they made up their minds to
elope the next day . Telling all their
friends of their plans, they were
wished the best of luck and happiness. They left early the next day and
made much progress, but towards
afternoon, they both were quite hungry and decided to return home . Parting tearfully, they bade each other

'I'm a Loser... How About You?'
Students of St. Joe's,
I have been watching Saint Joseph
High School grow for the past two
years. I feel the guys and gals of our
generation have come a long way
from the ones of past years . I read the
school paper whenever it's sent to me
by one of your fellow students.
It shows me and many other people that you care about your future
and your school, and the future your
schooling will make for you. This is
the main reason I'm writing this to
you.
I am at the present time serving
my enlistment in the Marines. I have
asked around here in my radio platoon, and it's the opinion of all my
buddies that if they had tried harder
in school, things now would not be so
hard . They all wish that they would
Letters to the Editor
To the editor:
Dear Challenge Staff of the January
issue:
In the January issue, I was very
disappointed with the article which
was written about our two exchange
students from Mexico. The article was
written in very poor taste. The article
had to do with the material belongings of the two boys. Where are our
values? Anyone reading this article
certainly would wonder! The article
tells nothing of the personalities or insight of the boys, merely what they
have. ! feel quite sure anyone having
an article such as that written about
them would be highly insulted. And I
feel quite sure in saying the boys
were.
These boys get their ideas of American teenagers from us and our example .
Is this a country where all that has
any significance is how many cars you
own, how many servants your family
employs, and how many horses you
ride? Of course not. We know that
but do they?
'
This article is very amateur; the
person writing it could have used
much more description and common
sense .
My intention in writing this is not
just to tear down the Challenge, but
to criticize it in order to improve it.
Mary Bode 110
As an old "staffer," I'd like to commend you on the terrific job you did
for the January issue. The article on
Jim and Pedro was very good, as was
the editorial and feature pages materia I.
The ideas were fresh - the words
catchy - plain good reading! Keep up
the good work.
Marcia Kondrad 107
have put more time and effort into
their high school studies .
As I look back on it, I really was
shocked when I realized how much
time I wasted in school. When you
look at it yourself, you can see that
the time you put in the classroom is
little to nothing compared to the time
spent just clowning around.
Answer yourself this question :
"Am I going to get ahead and be a
success in life on all the good times I
had or all the times I coasted through
class without learning anything? Or
will a little extra effort and loads of
concentration and perseverance make
me more likely to make the grade?"
I found this out the hard way. In
boot camp I was rudely awakened to
the fact that a little extra effort, that
little last lunge when you thought you
should have given up long ago, made
the difference between making it or
being left out a quitter.
This is the one thing I'm trying to
get across to you, the students now.
Don't think the faculty is trying to
snow you; believe me, listen to them
and you'll come out on top.
No matter what field you go into,
you'll be on top if you take their advice. If you disagree with their point
of view, instead of getting belligerent,
talk it out sensibly, and look carefully
at both your side and theirs. Most
times in the long run, they're right.
If you're open minded enough to
understand their advice, listen to them
and give that Iittle something extra
into the things you do, because it's
awful rough out here when you
goofed off your four years in high
school.
Gary Vranak
Class of '63
To the editor:
Why wasn't there a picture of
Andy and Mike who made all-state in
football? Also, because you can't cover each game because of the time element, why don't you run a prediction
for the whole season? Besides the picture of Andy and Mike, how about a
different yearbook. More pictures of
big events and such.
The article on Pedro and Jim was
very poorly written. The emphasis was
solely on material things and nothing
of the boys' personal interests. Since
they have been in both the United
States and Mexico, they could have
told us the differences between the
two countries and their customs. Did
we make them feel at home?

St. Joe's has had the privilege of participating in a new student exchange program.
The chief purpose of this program is
the establishing of good will bet\\ ccn the
United States and Mexico, and in particular
to help y·oung students "ith Spanish and
English. It was started by Dr. Allys D\1 ycr
Vergara, professor of English at the college
of 'C\1 Rochelle and Father Franciscus

Mr. George Vergara, n..::w Spanish l
teacher at St. Joe's, was once chosen for the
exchange. He relates that this 11as an enriching .experience not only personally but
also socially· and educationally. Ir. Vergara
especially· likes this program because, unlike other exchange progra1m, this one
chooses not on!\· "A" students but rather
the al'cragc stud.cnt.

Costumes on Parade
Sister taught at St. Clare College in ,'\loral'ia, Costa Rica, ·which is located t\\clvc
miles from the volcano Irazu. St. Clare's,
one of the fi1·c Catholic high schools of
.\1oravia, has an all-girl school of about 250
students \l'ith a faculty of 18 sisters and lay
teachers. But Sister admits having boys in
her classes makes life more interesting.
Sister remarked that the people of Costa
Rica arc 1·cry· friendly and happy and arc
more interested in each other than the people of the Cnitcd States. But unfortunately
the people a re becoming more materialistic
and the workers arc being exposed to Communism because of the \\'idcsprcad propaganda, Sister noticed \\'hilc there.
Since the facult,1· was small, Sister was
kept busy reaching arr, religion, math, gym
and catechism classes.
ln her spare time Sister especially likes
being with her sister friends. But she also
enjoys pla)·ing the piano, reading, dril'ing,
taking care of dogs and pla:'ing basketball.
One great difference Sister has found
here is that "the students understand c1·crything I sa;", \\'hich has its good and bad
points," Sister laughed.

What do you think is the greatest social

I feel the greatest social pressure

'·There's no place for sympathy in this
kind of \\ ork. It would onlv hinder the
children's chances of learning. \Vhat you
rcall)' need is a lot of patience," expressed
Pat Lange, a \'Oluntccr at St. Thomas Sunday School, \\'hen questioned about her
\\'Ork with the mcntalh· retarded students
there.
·
Rosemary Zappa, another volunteer, said,
" You can't go there lllad or in a bad mood.
\Vhcn you sec these kids, your problems
seem SO pCtt)'."
Pat and Rosemary have been helping at
St. Tholllas for almost a year now. lt all
began when both girls were in sophomore
girl's Sociality last year. Sister Adolphus,
who \\'as the moderator, aroused their interest in this field. The girls prepared thcmsch·cs for this work by making trips to
Southern Colony, a home for the mentally
retarded.
The school itself is under the direction
of i\lr. Robert Aceito, who acts as principal and teaches the mentally retarded at
Jane V crnon Elcmcnt::iry School. He takes
tilllc out from this harried schedule for an
hour each week to teach at St. Thomas.
There ::ire three categories of the retarded: trainablcs, who le::irn the basic
things, such as tying their shoes and brushing their teeth; educables, who besides
learning basic things, can learn up to a third
or fourth grade Jc,·cl; and finall\', the cxtrcmcl;· retarded, who have little hope of
any type of learning. ("\Ve don't have any
of them," states Rosemary.)
The class ranges from. ages fi,·c to thirteen, and there arc about 30 children in all.
They learn the sign of the cross, how to
genuRect and use hol;· water, and how t'l
color pictures and sing short songs.
"They learn mostly by repetition, but
their attention spans arc very short.
"Constant discipline is needed ·w hen dealing with these kids," Pat commented, "but
\ ' OU have to \\'atch what vou sa\'. They reinelllber promises and a"re niy offe.nded
when they're not kept."
Both Pat and Roscmarv cnjov this work
very llluch and encourage others to tr;· it.
"You'd be surprised how much better you
learn ; ·our own religion when :.·ou are
teaching it to the kids all the t'mc. I know
Ill_\' rnlucs of religion ha\'C gone up," said

Grapplers Eye Title
For the fifth year in a row, the St.
Jo eph wrestlers have their sights set on
the State Catholic Wre tling championship. Last year the Lancers edged out
Eau Claire Regis and Waukesha Memorial for the title.
This sea on the Lancer Grapplers
lost their fir t match after 57 straight victories. The villains were Don Bosco, but
after that loss each wrestler promi ed to
help stamp out any notion of the Dons
being victorious in the state tournament.
According to Head Coach Frank
Matrise, the Lancers are as trong as last
year, but he adds that "three or four
other teams have tremendously improved." Coach also stated that he expect at least four or five individual state
champs.
Matches are set up by records, cedings, and drawings of names. All the
coaches are present when the matches
are set up.
Coach states that Regis and Bosco
will offer the Lancers their stiffest competition. Memorial could be a threat, he
add d. Other teams entered this year are
Catholic Conference teams Marquette
and Cathedral, as well as Bosco and Memorial. Also sending teams are St. Catherine, Marshfield Columbus, La Crosse
Aquinas, Stevens Point Pacelli, Regis,
Prairie du Chien Campion, Fond du Lac
St. Mary's, and two more teams from
northern Wisconsin.
"We'll use basically the same lineup as
we have done all year," confided Coach.
"We'll expect the traditional spirited
crowd. The boys appreciate the enormous
backing they receive."
Times for the tournament action will
be as fol lows:
Friday night, Feb. 12: Preliminaries begin at 6:00.
Saturday morning: Quarter-finals begin
at JO a.m.
Afternoon semi-finals begin at 2: 00
Third and fourth-place matche begin after the semi-finals.
Finals at 7:00.
Coach Com men ts
On
Soph Team
Sophomore Coach Dan Chubrilo, in
his first coaching assignment at St. Joe's
had these comments to make about his
team:
"The team is definitely hurt by the
lack of height. We have only two regulars who even approach six feet, so most
teams have been able to control the
boards against us. Losing two tall sophs,
John Wojtak and Rich Polanski, ha n't
helped much either. lf you lack height as
we do, you have to compensate for it by
being quicker than your opponents. The
team hustles most of the time, but sometimes I have to remind them in our halftime 'chats'."
Everything seen on the court during
a game is the result of many hours of
practice. "At practice we stress fundamentals such as ball handling, passing,
and dribbling. We try to run drills which
improve on these fundamentals. We also
may work some particular defense to
stop the opposing team," remarked Coach
Chubrilo.

St. Joe's Varsity basketball team has
played 10 of its 20 games this year, compiling a 2-8 record, 0-7 in conference
play. Not all won-loss records do justice
to the team, however. Five of the Lancers' 8 defeats have come by margins of 8
or less points. They have been edged by
Cathedral 69-68, and have been clipped
by St. Bonaventure 69-65.
One of the reasons for the Lancers'
losses might be an inability to score. The
Lancers have averaged only 60 points a
game, while their opponents have averaged 66. At pre s time, the leading scorers for St. Joe's so far this year have been
Jim Baietto with 138 points in 10 games
and John Wojtak with 108.
Coach Bob Radigan has been using
the starting line-up of Jim Baietto, Don
Martin, Joe Martino, Tim Monteen, and
John Wojtak. This line-up has done well
so far this year despite the record, and
should continue to do so in the second
half of the season, bringing some victories to St. Joe's High School.

Council First Attempt
Toward Tri-school Unity
An inter-school student counci I h as
been established between the students of
St. Joseph ' , Bradford , and Tremper in
order to sec if it can be made possible to
bring the three schools closer together
and to have coordinating activities between the three schools.
Formal relations were established
with Bradford on Feb. 8. St. Joseph Student Council officers invited Bradford's
to attend a student council meeting, and
sec what makes St. Joe's tick. Their
president was quoted as saying that,
"Your meetings arc just about the same
as 0~1rs."
The Bradford officers arc as follows:
President: Ed Springhoff
Vice-president: Lillian Leese
ecrc~ary: Elizabeth Williams
Treasurer: Paul Yandrc
The inter-school council has been unsuccessful so far in its attempts to schedule a tri-school dance among the three
schools. The reason for the failure is th at
there isn't a school gym large enough to
hold all the students from the three
schools which might like to attend.
The Teens against Polio Dance will
be held in the Eagles Club Ballroom . St.
Joe's Mardi Gras dance will be held with
Bradford in the gym, and it is expected
that a large crowd will attend thi fir t
attempt to unite the city' schools. As of
press time , an organized meeting with
Tremper i in the planning.

Rev . Edmund W. Ollcy will leave St.
Joe's 7-ycar-old halls and 1,600 boys
and girls to head an all boys high school
- Pio ono High School in Milwaukee.
Accepting his new position as principal, Father said , " l was happy at first ,
but now I've got butterflies!"
Father's apprehension could be due
to the noticeable differences between St.
Joe's and Pio ono. Pio ono, overlooking La!'e Michigan , will open next September to freshmen only. It will be
staffed by diocesan priests and laymen.
An additional class will be added each
year until it becomes a full four-year
high chool. There will be no provi sion
for boarding students. Plans for a permanent plant will be based on the need
hown by future enrollment.
When asked what Father was looking
forward to the most, he replied, "It (Pio
ono) offers challenge to build an educational tradition which is commen urate
with the goals of Catholic education."
When a ked what he would miss the
most, Father replied in this order, ··Fr.
Darnieder, the sisters, and the girl !"
Leaving by air from Chicago Aug. 9,
Fr. Ollcy and hi companion will arrive
in London on the tenth, early in the
morning and begin sightseeing immediately. The changing of the guard, Buckingham Palace, and Westminster Abbey
all are there to see.

One more day in London, then they
will travel on to Switzerland and to
Rome, the "Eternal City. " St. Peter's in
Vatican City, the Coliseum, and the Roman Forum are theirs to enjoy at their
own leisure.
Cairo is the next destination, where
the sphinx and the pyramids of the desert

Queen City of the ile. The great bazaars, the native quarters and the night
life of Cairo all lie ahead to explore.

After 21 gloriou days pent in enjoyment of the custom , language, food
and ight , Fr. Olley' group will return

Three Become One
For many years our high school
has been isolated, which in a city this
size is hard to see. There have been
reasons. As a new school, we were
concerned with establishing ourselves, and had little time to take a
larger view of our place in the city.
We have long since passed that stage.
We can now take our place in the
community with confidence. A position of leadership is waiting for us.
Inter-school council
Your student council is trying to
fill that position of leadership. Shortly
before the Christmas holidays, council passed a resolution expressing
interest in the formation of some sort
of an inter-school council. Father
Darnieder also agreed that such an
organization of this kind would be
desirable, and a meeting was held on
Dec. 29 .
Among those present, were not
only your council officers but those
from both Bradford and Tremper . Together we outlined certain basic objectives of this organization . Brief1y
they are as follows:
l) exchange of talent in such
areas as debate, music, and
drama;
2) publicity of school activities
open to the public, especially
the teenage public;
3) co-ordination of inter-school affairs; primarily social affiairs;
4) creating and maintaining a college reference service;
5) di~cussion of problems concerning all three student councils;
A second meeting was he ld three
weeks later at which time we discusse d the March of Dimes campaign ,
a joint Student Congress, exchange of
choruses between Bradford and Sa int
Joseph, sponsorship of the youth government day , and the possibility of a
joint variety show of some type .
At press time , these were the only
meetings that were held but I feel
that more has been accomplished at
these two meetings than in the history of this school. For once, we, the
students are going out to meet our
neighbors . For once, the high school
teens of Kenosha are doing something for all the high school teens,
not just those of their particular
school . You can sense at these meetings the strong desire for understanding. It is a good feeling. You extend
your hand in friendship and someone
else does the same . Here we can all
participate, and take an active interest in the students of the other
schools. As joint projects are sponsored, join them, support them, and
attend them, whatever the cost may
be . Much of their interest is curiosity,
so project always a good image of
your school.
The fruits of their effort will be
many if we all participate. Certainly
the chief fruit is keener attention to
the teen-age youth of this community.
The ultimate fruit should be a better
community for our children. These
things will be ours if we act now, and
act wisely.

Letters to the Editor
To the editor:
My question is directed to any student or faculty member who can help
me and about two hundred kids out.
This question comes up in our minds
everytime there is an audition for any
part in any school activity that arises
during the year. Right now with the
tryouts for the school play over with,
this question seems even bigger,
"How could we, the simple, but willing to workfolk have made play?"
Every year I see the same tense but
determined faces sitting in the Little
Theatre, waiting their turn to be refused for the regulars. We have a lot
of evident talent in this school but we
also have a great deal of talent that
is held back and hidden because nobody else is given a chance . How we
would appreciate a part, maybe just
being students directors or scenery
men or anything we could do to help
out. Maybe it's just habit for them but
some of the kids just a few, though that make the play every year talk
about it with an ''I'll do it because
they need me, ho hum" attitude. La st
year I remember trying out for an
acting part in "Babes in Arms" with a
tremendous, two-word line, "OH,
Bunny!" Then rejected.
Please, someone help out if you
can. If not before the play then after,
some of us still have three more years
to try out.

CHALLENGE vs.
Teen Bars
Rece ntly, a law was proposed in
Madison to raise the beer-drinking
age from 18 to 21, thus eliminating
teen-age bars . The beer lobby in
Madison, representing multi-million
dollar beer interests, caused the bill
to be defeated by a narrow margin .
Th e lobby argued that teen-age bars
provide good entertainment and keep
teen-agers from running around and
getting in trouble. The Challenge believes that their reasoning was faulty
here .
It was faulty first because teen agers shouldn't need beer for a socia I
crutch. Second, the teen-age bars,
rather than keeping kids off the
streets, merely guarantee that they
will have beer in them when they do
their running around .
In Kenosha, most teen bars are in
the county. Therefore most kids have
to drive to get to them. The National
Safety Council says that drinking
shouldn't be mixed with driving, yet
here we have a situation where they
are almost forced to mix.
The combination of alcohol, gasoline, and a teen-age mentality caused
112 fatal accidents last year in California alone in which drinking teenage drivers were involved.
The beer lobby, however, contends that serving beer to teen-agers
in a teen-age bar serves a purpose .
We would agree . It serves the purpose of bringing money into their
coffers. Nearly twenty-five per cent of
the Wisconsin beer business involves
teen-agers between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one . The beer lobby
had a powerful motive for defeating
this legislation. However, we students
of St. Jo~eph High School do NOT believe in exchanging 18 year-old lives
for money in the hands of the beer
interests and we believe that the
facts speak for themselves.

Sightseeing A la Carte
Cuidcd tours arc an amazing fe ature of
tra\'el. \Ve no longer need to \\ orry about
missing important sights. They arc all in the
itinerary. The itinerary - an amazing piece
of workmanship. Someone must spend cons
of time planning for every possible waking
moment. An itinerary usua lly goes something like this:
7:00 Leisurely breakfast at hotel.
7:05 Lca\'c for tour of Capitol, \Vashington Monument, Arlington National
Cemetery Lincoln i\ 1cmorial.
7: 15 Return to bus. Leave for Franciscan i\1onastcry, passing the famous
Catholic Uni\·crsit\'.
Peck, peck, peck, ring, ring, r ing. These students look as if they are enjoying typing.
7: 30 On to bus the Pan
mcncan
Building, Jefferson 1cmorial; Smithsonian I nstitutc, where we arc allowed
time to \'icw c'l.hibits of our own
choice.
The 'Closed Society'
7:35 Return to bus. And so on through
the whole dav.
Sisters A loysiana, C_\·nthia, Limana and

taught at St. Francis High School in Yazoo
Cit_\' , Miss., located in the midwcstcrn part
of the state.
See what I mean? In order to do these
t hings in t he ultra limitcd timl! we arc allotted, we wou ld have to run as thoug h we
were in t he 50-.v ard das h. Although we
COULD catc h a flying g lim pse of some of
the sights, it wo ul d be impossible to rea ll y
exam ine them.
On one of these guided tours, there is
no such thi ng as leisure time. Night activities arc all planned. Sometimes, the "clay"
of sightseeing runs from 7 a.m. ( w hi ~h
means rising a 6 a.m.) unti l 2 a.m. the next
morning. That's 20 hours of walki ng or
rather running, with four hours of sleep.

Formula for Learning: Seeing Is Believing
N cgro and white people arc " closed in"
by the wall of segregation. The white people fear rebellion of the ::'\'" cgrocs. The economic situation is the essential problem of
the Negroes in Yazoo Cit)', according to
former SJ HS teacher, Sister Francis \l ar.\.
All of the jobs\\ hich the " ' cgrocs ha\·c arc

The "closed libran" is a factor of the

arc forced to rel)· upon the limited suppl)
of books in the high school.
lso, books
concerning the racial question arc forbidden
on the book stands by the \\' hire Citizens'
Council.
The high school ranked in about the
15th percentil e of the Iowa Tests of Educational Dc\·elopmcnt. Returning the Iowa
test scores to her students, Sister Francis
,\ lar.\· attempted to explicate the low test
results and C'-plaincd that Xcgrocs were
not gi\ en social equality. One girl remarked, "Sister, we can go to the zoo in
Jackson, but we can't sit d<rn n on the
benches. lf an: \\hire folks sec you sitting
d<J\\ n, the.\ 'II embarrass you." Sister Aloysiana also mentioned this fact, commenting
on the public zoo in Jackson. She said she
had to sit d<rn n on the bench before the

T \\ o segregated parishes arc situated in

The theatre darkens and the ringing of
majestic abbe:· hells can he heard. This is
the beginning of Tbe So1111d o/ \111sic, the
SC\ enth annual pla: to be presented by St.
Joseph's. The stor~, based on the autohiograph:· of ~!aria Augusta Trapp, takes
place in ustria earl: in 1938.
A young postulant b~ the name of \I aria Rainer (Donna h.rahn, Kath\ Brc\\ er)
has fulfilled her lifelong dream Z>f entering
the com·cm at '\' onnberg Abbey to dedicate her life to Cod. She is described ll\
Sister Berthe, \I istress of No' ices ( Pa1i1
\ larx), as a flibbcrtijibbct; b)· Sister Sophia
(Dolores Breigenzer ) , as a \I ill-0'-\1 isp; and
b:· Sister \largaretta, \listress of Postulants (Pat Lange), as a clo" n !
,\ Iaria had been gi1·cn permission to
spend the da)· on the mountain she 10\·cd,
outside the abbe:· \\'alls. Being the carefree
girl she is, she loses track of the time and
it is oon dark. Lying at the base of a large
tree, .\laria sings her important song, "The
Sound of \lusic."
The nc:-.t morning, \!aria is called to
the office of the 1\lother bbess (Colleen
" 'ard ) . Thinking she will be scolded for
being late the pre,·ious night, i\laria is
shocked ''hen \I other Abbess informs her
she is to lca1·c the abbc\ for a "hilc. Broken-hearted she asks i\ loi:hcr Abbess to allcl\I
her to sta ~ ._ Here they sing "i\ l :· Fa 1·oritc
Things." Explaining to \Iaria that it is the
''ill of Cod for her to become go,·crncss
for the sc1·en children of Captain Ccorg
von Trapp, .\I other Abbess gi,·cs l\1aria
her blessing, and she lca,·es the abbey.
Just before i\laria arri\'CS at the \'On
Trapp estate, the Captain (StC\'C Ka\'alauskas, Paul Besch) has just arri \"Cd home
from one of his many trips. The Captain,
once an officer in the Austrian °t\a\'Y, runs
his house like a ship. Each member ' of the
household and even the children ha\'c a
signal b~ · \1·hich their father summons them.
Franz (Cenc I lammond) is the \'On
Trapp's butler. I Jc \\as the Captain's order!:· in the Imperial '-'a,·y and is used to
his \1·ays. Frau Schmidt (Diane Hammond)
is the family's housekeeper and is very humiliated b~ the \\·a1· her employer summons her.

The dancers interpret the Laendler, an Austrian folk dance.
The seven von Trapp children arc
brought up in a \'cry military way. They
spend the mornings in the classroom and
the afternoons at marching. The children
arc Lies! (Stella i\fodrijan) 16, Friedrich
(Bill Hughes) H, Louisa (Terry l\1arnsck)
13, Kurt (Bobby Biernat) 11, Brigitta (Maureen Hammond) 9, Marta (Barbara Bcardslc)' l 7, and Crctl (Janet Bode) 5.
\Vhen Maria first meets the chi ldren
she is ,·cry impressed and teaches them
their first song, "Do Re J\1i." This beginning starts off an interesting relationship
which lasts throughout the play.
Lies! has a crush on the dcli1·ery boy,
Rolf Gruber (Dick Seager). They sing a
duct entitled "Sixteen Going on cvcntcen."
During Maria's first night at the von
T rapps' she learns some of the strengths
and weaknesses of the children. \\' hilc it

(Barb Dci\1 arco). ,\ lax is a person who cnjo:·s himself in his friend's good fortunes;
he also is in charge of the Kaltzbcrg Fcsti1·al, an annual concert which J\1ax per-

her. She is charmed b\' the children and

Cagers End Season
With Upset Victory
"We've lost a lot from last year," commented Coach Bob Carbone, when asked
about the prospects of the track team for
'65.
Lettermen gone from last year's
squad which placed third in the conference and fourth in the state arc Jim
Pavlik , Joe Lesnik, Ralph Wade, Jeff
Chiappetta, Joe Miks , Denni s Boyle,
Stan Gorecki, Bob Crist, Bob Mar and
Bob Regner. Coach Carbone strc sed St.
Joe's would be inexperienced in the shot
put, high hurdles , pole vault and 440 because of these losses.
Returning lettermen arc cniors Andy
Van Sant (captain), Joe Martino, Bill
Jones and Jim Baictto; juniors arc Dave
Van Lone, Bill Nowell , Don Hannes, and
Pete Rizzo. Three record holders are returning, Martino in the di cus, Van Lone
in the I 00 and the 220, and owcll in
the mile.
Coach predicted the possibility of
again taking third in the conference if
the boys come through in what Coach
noted as the team's strong events: the
sprints with Van Lone, Van Sant, and
Hannes; the discus with Martino and
Tony Kluka; and the high jump with Bill
Jones. Coach also expects a strong showing in the 880 and the mile from Rizzo
and owell, respectively.
The trackmen haven't lost a meet at
home in five year or a dual meet anywhere since 1962, and with 75 boys
signed up, the prospects for continuing
this winning streak are good.
With two po ible home duals not yet
decided, the track chedulc is:

'Sound of Music'
Climb to Heights Continues
The clock is running out; the race is
almost over. The prize - a successful
school play. For six straight years St. Joseph's has been the victor, and number
even is in sight. Only two weeks remain
until the Sound of Music becomes a
reality.
The early ticket sell-out and the patron-filled program mark the successful
patron drive.
The first homerooms to reach their
quotas were cniors 105, juniors 205,
ophomores 214, and freshmen 3 l 0.
Those directly connected with the
production proper are especially busy rehearsing for the big night.
Behind the cencs, Sister Phylli is

of Music , through the cooperation of the
entire student body, will have become a
part of SJHS history.

Controversy Crosses the Bar
The Defense
The Prosecution
It is obvious that Dan Walker ha s
neve r been to a teen bar . If he had
ever visited a teen bar, he would have
seen just the opposite of what he insinuated . He would have seen good
kids , n ice kids , the better students
mixed in with the s mall minority
about which he had written .
What happens at a teen age bar?
Drinking? Yes! However, only a small
number over-indulge . If these teenagers get boisterous or rowdy, they
are evicted . Dancing? Yes, if there is
room . Otherwise the young people
just listen to the music, tap out the
rhythm in their laps or on the bar, or
just go through the motions as best
they can while sitting in their ch~ir .
Talking? Endless! The boys and girls
converse as they would at a party, a
show, or in the cafeteria . <Think of
their better days, though .) They tell
jokes, make dates, share experiences,
and voice opinions .
According to one of the judges at
Milwaukee's Juvenile Court, it is the
child whose parents refuse him so
much as a sip of their beer at home
that goes to a teen bar looking for
kicks. The majority go to visit their
friends and listen to a local group of
musicians and at the same time refresh themselves with the very beverage many of their parents enjoy .

Th e hallmark of a good paper is
controversy . We've certainly got controversy b u t ...
Contrary to publ ic op inion , I'm
not a Bible-waving puritan ogre; and
contrary to th e implications in the accompany ing reply, my article was .not
against dancing , it was not against
talking, no ... it wasn 't even agai~st
drinking . I'm very human and I like
dancing and talking, and don 't think
that drinking in itself is bad . Yet these
things are spoken of in the second
paragraph of the letter as though I
meant to destroy them .
The basic purpose of my article
was to present the dangers of teen
bars being located in the county
where kids must drive a long distance
to get to them. If I said more than I
should ... well, that's one of the sins
of editorial writers . I was, however,
showing why other systems would be
more effective than the teen bars . For
example , an assistant to the sheriff
told me that it would be a lot better
if teenagers could go to a regular
adult bar. That way they wouldn't
have to drive so far to get there and
kids wouldn't come from all surrounding areas to our teen bars . He said
that there is some trouble at teen bars,
but that it is mostly caused by teenagers from other counties who come
here to get drunk and have kicks. He
pointed out that the situation is getting bad because more kids are coming from all the surrounding counties
than they can handle in the bars and
on the highways. He further suggested that parents sign the l.D . cards
so that they have a chance to either
give their consent or refuse it and
closed by saying that parents should
teach their kids to drink sensibly rather than simply forbid them to.
In summary, based on my findings, I'd like to recommend now that:
1. 18-year-olds be allowed to
drink beer in regular bars;
2. if teen bars stay open, they
should be only for Kenosha
County kids and should be allowed in town; and
3. a stricter supervision should
be kept on highways around
the teen bars.
About the misrepresentation controversy, I did NOT wish to imply that
my opinions represented everyone's
opinions, and I'm sorry for creating
any misleading impression. Thank you
for being so rea sonable and for helping to create our wonderful controversy . . . . the essence of Challenge.

Letters to the Editor
De ar Editor :
In the articl e concerning teen bars,
Dan Walker uses the paper's name in
his criticisms against the lobbyi sts in
Madison . This proposal has been up
for vote almost every year . Why is
their reasoning faulty NOW? If they
eliminate teen age bars, where will
the eighteen-year-olds go and what
will they do? They will probably ru n
around more and with more beer and
liquor in them .
.
Wh e re is the trouble? If California, a 21-year-old drinking state,
has such a poor record and Kenosha,
an 18-year old county, a relatively
good one, then raising the age to 21
would appear to only bring California's bad record here .
I have lived in the area of a teen
bar for 14 years and have worked in
one for 8 months . The activities I have
seen are nothing to be ashamed of .
Ba rry Fliess 105
Recently an article appeared in
the school paper in which a 17-yearold junior supposedly gave the views
of the whole school on teenage bars .
Many of us feel that his statements
are incorrect and misleading . We do
not need beer for a socia I crutch; in
fact, a few teens who frequent the
bars drink Pepsi and 7-Up. It is very
hard to find kids who go out there
just to get drunk, and this small minority is looked upon with contempt
by most others. We do agree that
these kids cause trouble, but anywhere you go there are always troublemakers. These teenage bars are the
sole source of entertainment for many
of Kenosha's teens, and not because
they like to drink, but because there
is nowhere else to go.
If Kenosha County does decide to
end the teenage bars, I hope they also
plan on having some other forms of
recreation besides bowling and the
movies. The other alternative seems
to me at least very disturbing - unsupervised teenagers looking for fun .
A senior opinion
Dear Editor:
I would like to see more poems in
the Challenge. Also, a list of good
movies or hit records would be enjoyed by many.
For the seniors, I think there
shou ld be a page on their likes and
dislikes, favorite sayings, past fads,
and expressions of the year or a summary of all remembrances of these
people in the bound copy .

Tom Nickolai - Senior
l·'. u : rything at Francis Jordan is so casual, (the uniforms, classes, teachers, etc.).
It is an all bo\'s' school and the facu!tv is
entire!~· of mc'n, so there is greater con.tact
bet\\ ccn students and teachers. Another
factor contributing to this close c:intact is
there arc only 488 students in the school.
Their day begins with 1ass at '' hich
C\'cr:.·onc must be present. Because of the
time clement invol\'cd, each class receives
I lo(\· Communion on a different da\". ThC\·
han! an eight-period day, lasting fr(1m 8:(Jo
to 3:30.
Their class periods arc shorter than
ours, but their lunch hour is .+O minutes
long. (The ha\'C no half-hour homeroom
period as '' c do.) Their school has no cafeteria; each da~· the~ · go across the street
to 1othcr of Cood Counsel School to their
cafeteria.
The school paper staff room is also located there. B\' the " ·a\', their \'earbook has
been rated sui)crior in. the state.
The kids take great pride in their school
and arc \'Cr closely knit. Th~ir spirit and
enthusiasm are terrific. There is no class
distinction as at St. Joe's. The different
homerooms participate in intcrmural sports,
and the~ · all ha\'c a great time.
Their Student Council is similar to ours
at St. Joe's except for a fc\, things. The
officers arc elected in the following manner: the president is a senior, the \'iccprcsidcnt a junior, the secretary a sophomore, and the treasurer a freshman. Their
Student Council consists of onh- 16 members, one officer from each of tl1c 12 h<.i11ehomcs and the four council officers.
1 enjoyed \'isiting a school other than
my O\\'n and 1 hope that other kids get the
same opportunit_\' as 1 did to do so.
Francis Jordan High School in 1\li ' \\aukce was home for a day to this Saint Joseph's senior. The school building was kind
of a surprise to 111c, because I was under
the impression that Jordan is a fairly new
school, but the building is quite a bit older.
After some pondering, I discovered that the
school is in rcalit\' onlv five years old, and
that it is just hot1scd {n an <;Ider building.
A small school, Jordan has only 488 students, with this year's graduating class consisting of only 125 seniors. There arc only
16 members in the Student Council - three
homerooms for each class - and the council's four officers arc one member from
each of the four classes, going down the
line from president, who is a senior; viccprcsidcnt, a junior; secretary, a sophomore;
and treasurer, a freshman.

The out\\'ard appearance of :\'otrc Dame
is not as impressive as St. Joe's, but the tremendous school spirit of its students muc:1
exceeds ours. The kids at Notre Dame arc
much more acti\·c in different organizations
and take more pride in their school itself.
Of the 600 or so students in the school,
most of them arc in Student Council.
Their aud!to1 ium scn·es a triple purpose: it is not onl~ · their auditorium, but
also their cafeteria and stud\' hall. Granted,
their facilities are less than those at St. Joe's,
but the~ · surpass us in spirit and \\'hat the~ ·
do \\'ith the things the~ · ha,·e.
As for the intcrschool stu .!ent exchange
program itself, I think it's great. 'ot on · ~ ·
did I personally benefit from t'· is prog am,
but I also believe that everyone at St. Joe's
profits indirectly through those wh :i \'isitcd
different schools. A knowledge of the
strong points of other schools arJund us
''ill cmblc St. Joe's to become an e\·cn
greater ~chool than it alrcad\' 1s.

The facilities at Notre Dame may be
lacking compared to those at St. Joe's, but
the kids there certainly surpass us in spirit.
Their enthusiasm is o\'crwhclming. One of
their most outstanding qualities is the way
the~ · cooperate with Student Council. \\ ' hen

dent Council.
Their regular school day is much the
same as ours, but some points arc different.
Instead of sc\·cn, they ha\·c eight periods a
da\', with onh· t\\'O minutes between classes.
Be.cause their· auditorium also scn·es as their
cafeteria, there is no hot lunch program.
The kids either bring cold lunch or bu~·
their lunch at a store ncarb\'.
T hree da\'S out of the ,~·eek, their religion classes ;re mixed; the other two da:·s
arc not coed and arc consider d guidance
periods.
for mm ning and dismissal pra~ · crs, the
Student Council president rather than the
principal leads the student body.
The\' ha\·e no c!ass officers such as we
do, but rather the four officers in each
homeroom.
The general attitude of the tudents of

Divine Saviour High
of Milwaukee
Micki Kedzierski - Senior
Visiting Divine Sa\'iour High School
\\as a unique experience. The kids arc very
friendly, and the first thing I noticed about
thrn1 is that there is a great deal more intermingling or equality among the four classes.
(The freshmen seem equal with the seniors!!)
At f)i,·inc Sa\'iour the\' ha\'c what the\'
call a "Big Sister" progra;11. Each senior {s
gi\'cn a new freshman student as a little
sister. The big sisters shO\\ the freshmen
around and help them get used to school.
Di\'ine Saviour's equi\·alent of our Student Council is called the Student Union of
Di\'inc Sa\'iour. ("SUDS" for short!) The
kids run for Student Council by taking out
running papers which must be signed by 25
others in order for them to be elected. An
interesting point to note is that their Student Council president is automatically
prom queen.
Their Senior Ad\·isory Committee is almost like our Presidents; Club. Leaders of
the \'arious organizations meet for the purpose of planning activities for the various
clubs and to discuss possible ways for bettering the clubs. The kids rccc: ve buttons
or pins identifying the club or clubs t D
which they belong. It looks hardly great!
I am highly in favor of this new system
of interschool student exchange. It is a
\\'Ondcrful way of comparing St. Joe's \\'ith
the schools around us for the sake of impro\'cmcnt. 1 hope it continues throughout
the coming \'cars.
Lynn LeTart-Senior
"Visiting Di\·inc Sa\'i;iur, the thing that
impressed me most " ·as the contrast bct\\'ccn a coed school and an all girls school.
Frankl\', I lm·cd it! Because the school consists of all girls, there is much less selfconsciousncss. But this at tin1es was carried
to the extreme by some of the girls' lack of
neatness in dress.
Their Student Council meetings arc hc!d
after school e,·er:· other week. ~The procedure at meetings is the same as ours.
A normal school da~ · begins with dail:·
1\ lass. Presence is optional, but e\·cryonc
attends. There are no bells separating each
class, and there arc onk four minutes between classes.
·
The number one pcrsonalit:· in school is
the ne\\ spa per editor. She has the most
po\\'er and the most "pull" of an\'onc in
school.
l was really impressed with the chool
spirit and li\·eliness of the kids. Every girl
is in at least one club if not more. All arc
\'italh· interested m e\·er~· aspect of their
sch0<il.

DYNAMISM DEPARTS
Father Olley Leaves,
Yet Lingers. . • •
One of Father·s best friends, and one who
knows Father best - Caesar!
Here is Father practicing what he preaches
as St. Joe's athlet!c director.
Seven years ago, a ~chool was established in Kenosha
with the hope that Catholic education would be furthered.
One of the men who has been very instrumental in making this hope a reality is Rev. Edmund W. Olley.
Now , after seven years of hard work and struggle
here at St. Joe's, Father is leaving so that this goal will be
even wider spread elsewhere. He has been appointed
principal of Pio Nono, an all boys school in Milwaukee .
Father leaves us, but the fruits of his efforts remain
at St. Joe's and flourish. His teaching, guidance, athletic
leadership, and spiritual advising have taken deep root
and will continue to grow even though Father Olley will
no longer be with us.
He has helped us in so many ways, physically, mentally, and spiritually. His unselfish personal interest in each
one of us, his thoughtfulness, kindness, and perpetual
encouragement in school projects, will always be remembered.
In the past years that Father has been with us, his
profound efforts and accomplishments have been a credit
One of Father's most ende:i.ring
characteristics in his ever-willingne s to listen and sympathize.
In seven years, St. Joseph High School has changed considerably. One who has helped it grow
physically, mentally, and spiritually is Father Olley, picture;! here with Father Clark and Father
Hebein.
A striking pair pictured: Father Edmund Olley and Senator Edward Kennedy.
No one can deny it - Father certainly has
a sense of humor, (though perhaps not always present in every situation!!)
to our school. He has established and always maintained
the high standards of St. Joe's; always persistent in demanding the best.
Father Olley will be gone, but his teaching and example will remain to be incorporated into our daily lives.
It is our obligation to sufficiently prepare ourselves to face
the future, not as children, but as adults.
We wish to assure Father that his efforts have not
been unappreciated or in vain. He has shown us our ultimate goal and the means to reach it - now it is up to us
to succeed or fa i I.
On behalf of the entire student body, we wish to
thank you, Father Olley, for your precious time, unfailing
understanding, and self-sacrifice to see us through our
high school years.
Father Olley and Coach Matrirn admire the
trophy of 1961's State Wrestling Meet, in
which St. Joe's wrestlers were champs.
The Challenge Staff
Even cluring the first years of St. Joe's existence, Father Olley was encouraging in hi pep talks
at the assemblies. (Hey, Father, which cheerleaders do you prefer - those of then or now?)

Anyone want a heart? It's a perfectly good heart - a bit worn and
tattered - and I suppose I should
confess it's broken in two. But the
break is clean, and could easily be
mended. The former owner was careless and thoughtless. Throwing it
around carelessly resulted in breakage. He was a child, though, and like
a child who grows bored with a new
toy, destroyed it in lieu of another.
Sounds like an old tire sale, you say?
Maybe it is, for this heart is tired. Like
I said before, anyone want a heart?

With the Sound of Trackmen
The Parking Lot Is Alive
St. Joe's track. team will participate
in their first outdoor track meet Saturday, May l. The Lancer trackmen competed in two indoor track meet , at the
Journal Games on Mar. 15, and the Marquette indoor on Mar. 27.
St. Joe's cnt five boys to the Journal
Games to participate in the 880 relays.
They were senior Andy Van Sant; junior Dave Yan Lone, Don Hannes , and
John Milisauskas; and ophomorc alternate Al Hahn who went in case any of
the starting four couldn't race for one
reason or another.
They placed third among J 5 high
chools, defeating Marquette and St.
John's Military Academy in the qualifying heat with a time of 1: 10.7. Thi was
one of the three best times in the five
qualiflying heats. In the final race St.
Joe's went up against Pius and La Crosse
Aquinas, who had the other two best
time, . In the first lap La Crosse collided
with t. Joe's and dropped the baton.
Then St. Joe's collided with Pius, causing the St. Joe's runner to drop his baton.
By the time the St. Joe's runner retrieved his baton , the Aquinas runner
had his. St. Joe's could never overcome
the time lost and had to settle for third
place.
Coach Robert Carbone commented
that "St. Joe's track team arc at a disadvantage because they have no long
stra ightways where they can practice
their running, whereas Milwaukee teams
usually have a ficldhousc or else they
can practice at Marquette University."
Coach also noted that "th~ best
chances for records being broken are in
the discu s by Joe Martino , the mile by
Bill owcll, and the 880 by Pete Rizzo. "

One Special Class
We'll always remember ...
Four Years Together
Dear Seniors,
There have been many things
sa id about our class these past four
years . We've called it supercalifragilisticexpialidocious; others have called
it autonomous or complacent. I like
to think of our class as enduring.
I know, you' re probably saying,
"Wha-da-ya mean - enduring?" I
mean that I hope the memory of our
class - growing - will endure .
We came together as wide-eyed
freshmen, eager, optimistic, and fascinated . We went all-out for everything . Our first big event was homecoming and big it was! We learned
how to build floats, or more correctly,
how not to build them . And remember the homecoming game and our
first and last float burning?
Freshman year was characterized
by spirit. We always had the greatest
percentage at the football games, we
were an unbelievable close second in
the patron drive, beaten only by the
seniors , and of course we won the
coupon drive!
Freshman year also meant courtesy campaigns, the yo-yo craze,
cheerleading try-outs, The Student
Prince, algebra, our own football and
basketball teams, the llliad and the
Odyssey, and our first state wrestling
tournament.
Sophomore year the newness began to wear off and we settled down
to such dreadful things as biology
class and frog dissecting . November
found many sophomores in the variety show, "Holiday in Space," in
such acts as "The Boyfriend," "Rockin'
Red Wing," and "We're Perfect Young
Ladies ." We started our tradition of
Christmas skits with 'Twas the Night
Before Christmas complete with a
Santa Claus who fell off his sleigh .
And remember our trip to the Chicago
Museum of Science and Industry? In
spring we had about twenty-one
sophomores in the school play, The
Music Man, including Marion the Librarian.
At last we were upper classmen juniors. We felt pretty good that year
- we were in varsity now, we had
our drivers' licenses, and part-time
jobs. Junior year also meant National
Merit tests, Babes in Arms, American
history and Macbeth. The climax of
this year, of course, came with the
Junior-Senior Dinner Dance, "Somewhere ." And who w ill forget "Bye
Bye Seniors"? I know I w ill never forget that night.
Senior year also brought football
and basketball games, homecoming,
the variety show, Mardi Gras, but this
year they were different. The homecoming queen was someone from our
class, our guys were the most valuable players and captains of the
teams , the officers around school were
seniors .
It was a hard year, too , both for
us as individuals and as a class . As
individuals we had to make a lot of
decisions about our future - what
college we wanted to go to, what we
wanted to do after high school if we
weren 't going to college . As a class
a lot of people were against us , including some of its members . Our
bad points were played up; our good
points brushed aside or forgotten .
We did have the most spirited
football team ever to hit St. Joe's, one
of our homecoming floats won first
place, and we also won the patron
drive, not because a few kids worked
but because everyone worked . We
initiated many new changes in Student Council, we put on skits for our
homerooms, and had our own radio
program - KURY . We always had the
greatest percentage on the honor rolls
and many members of our class have
won individual honors such as scholarships and sports awards . Senior
year will also be remembered for
ring day and pizza burgers, our class
beach party last summer, a food riot,
snowstorms, The Sound of Music, our
class picnic at Muskego Beach, Senior
Week, and of course graduation .
In a few days we'll be together
for the last time . We have chosen for
our class motto, "The torch has been
passed to a new generation." As we
use this torch to light the world as
teachers, doctors, scientists, engineers,
social workers, parents, let us keep a
small torch burning in remembrance
of our class. I'm not asking you to remember every little incident, but let
it not be forgotten that once there
was a class - the class of '65.
Sincerely,
Diane Hammond
Senior Class Vice-President

St . Joe 's has in deed " gro w n up"
since we, the "Class of '65 ," have entered . Many rules have been mad e,
h igher goals have been set and a particular stress wa s placed on t he importance of individual maturity .
Through our freshman year w e
learned something about school sp irit
and showed everyone we had th e
most by enduring the breezes and
sore-throat conditions due to unequal ed cheering at Lakefront Stadium and
by finishing second in the patron
drive.
Sophomore year was a change of
pace for all of us. First of all we didn't
have all our homerooms on one floor ,
next we learned about living th ing s
and we mustn't forget this was the
year that black pants and blue skirts
came into vogue .
Junior year we stopped to take a
deep look at ourselves to determine
just where we were, what we were
to do with our life, and how to find
the means of ach ieving these goals.
We are now at the end of our
fourth year of high school, having
made many acquaintances and stored
many memories to carry on with us .
A number of us sometimes wonder,
now that our stay here is nearing completion, why we've gone through
high school. We haven't become walking computers with memorized historical dates or stored Shakespearian
passages. Instead we've found partial
understanding of the complex world
we are about to enter and desire to
make the world a better place to live
in for all.
For this we are grateful and hope
that we can live up to the high standards set for us.

Torch Rekindles Quiet Fire
Sister Maria Cordis has worked with the
Class of '65 for four years - as freshman
class moderator, sophomore and junior
homeroom teacher, and this year as moderator of Challenge. It is in this capacity
that she writes this article.
Dear Seniors Fire both tests and transforms. In fire
\ ' OU ha,·c chosen nature's most dvnamic
~lcmcnt as vour svmbol. In the t<;rch of
man's shapi~g, you. ha,·c accepted the dual
responsibility both of receiving and of
leading.
You, the nC\\ generation, have C\'oh-cd
to this _\our pinnacle of firepower. I ha\ c
seen \ ' OU fresh and ali,·c to the new fires of
the l~igh-school world. I ha\'C felt your
force and known :·our creative energy in
its first early surges. You were strong, then,
and teeming with potential.
Today, as you take up the torch, you
are once again ali,·c and filled with cnerg:··
In the light of the fire you ha,·c chosen to
hold, the shape you have taken calls forth
one great question : H ave \ ' OU become
trul)· human?
The question implies: Have you become alive to e\·ery other person as also
truly human? Arc you open and receptive
to his truth, his personality? Arc you free
to love him with warmth , with Acxibility,
with humor?
Each of you, in the white light of truth,
holds his own answer.
Fire, remember, adm its of degrees. It
judges, tests; it purifies, transforms.
Roses to:
In :·our testing of yourself and your
world vou have left no value untouched.
Bv the. very light of the torch you now
h~Jld, we t<;o stand tested in our integrity.
Perhaps, we as individuals, have sometimes
failed vou: held the torch too high for: our
grasp 'or too near for our 0\\ n searching
eves to sec vour moment's real need.
· Still fire is one. We have seen bv the
5amc st,rong, radiant light which you· no\\
take up. \Ve, too, know in ourselves the
responsibility of the torch.
Face the judgment, then, and soar onward. You ha,·c cncrg:·, desire, and fire. Be
transformed into what \ ' OU ha,·c alwa\·s potcntiallv been - a full\· human pcrs<i°n.

in its ideas, suggestions, and undertakings
with enough in the class supporting these
ideas and READY TO ACT upon them.

whose dcn>tion has st i 111 u Ia t cd a great

Snow
The Old Man
Snow is Mother Nature's feathery
cloak.
It drapes man's houses and fields
and sidewalks
and trees
and kids
and streets
and people get stuck and get ulcers
and everyone is sliding around and
bumping into each other and if they
get home in one piece, they have to
shovel their sidewalks.
A man reaches for me: I know him
not.
Stretching, reaching, pulling, tearing.
He is ever-present.
Mystic and magical, with a clever
mind which devises new schemes to tantalize me with his lasting sleep.
Sometimes he is close and sometimes
he is very far away.
But always he is there.
And someday I know I will meet
him face-to-face .
And I shall know .
Jim Hunt 105
High School
High school,
A smooth,
controversial name for
a place of
learning.
High-school .
The "high" perhaps standing for
goals,
expectations,
degree of effort,
maybe meaning
"Hi."
Hi, school.
Hello?
Freshmen say hello.
I'd rather say "goodbye,"
like Bye, school!
Only Seniors
can yell
(or whisper) - bye.
Four years is a long time .
Too long? - No.
Long enough?-Yes-s, maybe.
So . ..
Bye- school .
The Human Bubble
It starts,
has nothing, but
makes itself big, bigger
than any, comes to the top, BREAKS.
For what?
Snow is the crowning glory of winter.
It spreads a frosty icing over the
entire landscape including
the trees
and kids
and streets
and people get heartattacks from
shoveling it and people slip on it and
break their legs and kids use it to
throw at the cars which rust out from
the road salt.
Hell .
Gene Potente 102
Bob Beales 113
Balloons . ..
To Be Continued.
Left alone, unguided
go astray
float away
gone .
I am a book.
My cover is opened by whispered
breezes,
My pages turned by wafting songs,
And by awakened ghosts from
memory-graves.
Filled too much, expanded
soon are tore
are no more
pop.
Dreams are balloons .
Pat Willems 112
Janet Liggett 103
My story is complete, yet still being
written
With dream-dripped ink which can't
be read.
I could package my words in a box
of excitement,
And tie it up with ribbons of emotion
To make a gift for those whose
spectacles
Enable them to read my joy.
Oh Future's pen, be gentle to my
op~n,
Unprotected pages!
If, unfeeling, you should smudge and
Blotch them all
With ugly stains that I must show,
I would rather that you leave them
blank.
Mary Bone II 109

Senior Athletes Recapped
Football
Golf
Nineteen seniors played with this
season's varsity football team. According
to head coach Robert Carbone, "They
were the large t and finest group ever to
play at St. Joe's. Talent-wise they were
great and added to their desire, they
formed a never-die spirit."
A record of seven wins and two
losses was recorded by the gridmen this
season. It earned them a second place
finish in the conference and a ranking of
seventh in the state.
Seniors on the team were Andy Van
Sant, Don Martin , Keith Pinsoneault,
Bradley Stewart, Ken Winik, Ed Bohat,
Mike Rugg, Tony Kluka, Joseph Borden,
Len Cicchini, Mike Peterson, Jim Burgett, Steve Kavalauskas, Joe Martino,
George Becker, Rolly Salerno, Bill Jones,
Marty Bernacchi , and Ray Bieber.
Usually a successful spo rt here at St.
Joe's, this year is no exception. Seniors
Rolly Salerno, Den Chartier, Robert
Becker, Gary Langendorf, Steve Kavalauskas, Gene Hammond , and Jeff Ausen
are hoping for a high finish at the state
golf meet.
Coached this year by Mr. Dan Chubrillo, the golfers are practicing for up
and coming meets which will find mostly
seniors starting.
With seniors shooting near par golf,
and with help from the juniors, the '65
golf team plans on keeping up the good
records which the golfers have earned in
recent years.
Wrestling
Again thi year, the Lancer grapplers
took the State Championship Title. Helping win this title were state champs Andy
Van Sant, and Marty Bernacchi. Ron
Kuryanowicz took third place in his
weight class. All three of these boys are
seniors.
Van Sant captained the wrestlers and
proved to be an able leader as he went
undefeated this year. Bernacchi also
went undefeated and was chosen as most
valuable in wrestling. Kuryanowicz's
drive and desire enabled him to take
third.
These three seniors left behind an
image to follow. All three represented
the reason why St. Joe's has taken five
straight state wrestling championships.
Basketball
Although this season found the cagers with only four victories, seniors on
the team built up spirit which the juniors
will take over next year. Playing their
last season were Joe Martino, Jim Baietto, Ken Wiberg, Pete Bieneman, and Don
Martin .
This sea on's team fought hard in all
their games, but many times they were
simply outclassed. They displayed sportsmanship and desire.
Baietto, team captain, and Donnie
Martin played guards. Joe Martino and
Pete Bieneman were the forwards, and
Ken Wiberg played the center po ition.
Tennis
A relatively new sport here at St.
Joe's, the tennis teams are forming another winning tradition. With the help of
seniors John Rcficuna and Bob Bulik,
the netmen are striving for a better season than last year when they won six and
lost four.
Coach Karnes started earlier in the
year so that "the outlook is bright for
this season' team."
Captains Elected,
MVPs Honored
Congratulations to Joe Martino and
Marty Bernacchi, who were elected by
their teammates most valuable in basketball and wrestling, respectively.
Martino led the Lancers in scoring
this season and was chosen for the allcity team. He averaged 13.1 points a
game and proved to be impressive both
offensively and defensively.
Marty Bernacchi went undefeated
this year, as he helped the Lancer matmen to a state first place finish. Marty's
aggressiveness showed in every match he
wrestled. He wrestled in the 180 lb. division, which boasts many muscular, hardworking opponents.
Also good luck to next season's cagers and wrestlers, who will be captained
by Bill owell and Ed Epping, respectively.
End of An Era
As freshmen, Rolly Salerno, Rick Thomey,
and Mike Rugg nervously trot out to the
football fie! d at Lakefront Stadium.
Baseball
Seniors Don Martin, Jim Rutkowski,
Al Labanow, Ed Bohat, John Berres, and
Pete Bieneman have all been valuable to
the team for the past two years. Two
years ago, the Lancers glovemen took
third in the state and fifth in the conference. Last year, the Lancer "9" tied for
first in the conference, and took home
the third place trophy at the state meet
in Menasha. Rutkowski, Bieneman, Bohat, and Berres are pitchers. Martin, this
season's c::i.ptain, is an infielder, and Al
Labanow plays outfield when he's not
catching.
With the state meet in Menasha coming up, the Lancer glovemen sight a berth
in the tournament. The seniors will be in
every game playing their hardest and
hoping for the state title. for '65.
Track
Quality more than quantity is stressed
on the '65 Lancer track team as far as
the seniors go. Only six seniors broke
into the var ity rank , but each one of
them is considered by Coach Carbone to
be "extremely talented in their field."
Andy Van Sant has won three letters
in track already. Joe Martino holds the
school discus record. Tony Kluka boasts
long throws in the discus and shot put o
far this season. Jim Baietto, before sustaining a knee injury, was a promising
hurdler. Bill Jones and Bob Scuglik are
out for winning performances in the high
jump.
9
Four years ago, a group of renegade
freshmen ran out onto the gridiron at
Lakefront Stadium for their first athletic
contest as St. Joseph Lancers. After the
win, many of the e boys were already
planning how they could be a part of a
victorious St. Joe's athletic program.
Victories and defeats greeted the young
Lancer hopefuls. That year the football
team won three and lost as many. ever
before had a St. Joe's frosh team chalked
up such an impressive record . Winning
hard-fought contests became a regularity for the fro h that year in ba ketball,
wrestling, baseball, and track.
The next year, proved just as exciting
as the soph gridders notched even wins
with only one lo s. Again, the cagers
brought home wins for the fans. The JV
baseball team had a 4-1 record.
Junior year for the Class of '65 found
many a third-year man breaking into the
varsity sports scenes. Better yet, the juniors proved to be vital to all sport .
And this season has found boys playing their last football game, last basketball game, and wrestling in their last
match for St. Joe's. The winning spirit
has never been dimmed in these four
years. The drive, ambition and sportsmanship has never dwindled.
For the Class of '65, its athletes have
brought honor. For the school and for
their parents, they have formed a hard
working body of men who ju t never
seem to quit at mediocrity. Soon it will
be all over for the seniors in high school
athletics. But the spirit and example they
have shown will remain with the school
for a long time to come.
