Competition Boosts 'Desert Song' Sales Three evening performances and one of the biggest promotion drives ever sponsored at St. Anthony are special features of the sale of tickets to "The Desert Song." Performances are set for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening, April 18, 19, 20 at 8:15 p.m. in the auditorium. The individual sale quota was

Science-Minded Exhibit At Metropolitan Detroit Fair "I think this is a fine way for students to exhibit their talent," stated Joan Rehdorf 314 who is one of the eight St. Anthony students entering the Metropolitan Detroit Science Fair. The fair, May 1-4 at the Michigan State Fairgrounds, is co-sponsored by The Detroit News and The Engineering Society of Detroit. Any student in grades 7-12 is eligible to enter. Students who present the best exhibits will be awarded prizes totalling more than $2,000 in value. Five $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to juniors and seniors whose work is judged most outstanding. There are also special "grand awards" which will go to the two senior division students with the best exhibits. Mildred Werner is working on an exhibit of nature indicators; Faith Minne, a model of a cyclone; Stanley Dembinski, a smoke box; Marvin Mauch, a three - stage rocket. Candle forms, every day magnetism, a magnetic electric motor, and an accurate homemade scale are being worked on respectively by Juniors Joan Rehdorf, Ken Janiszewski, Jim Taube, and Frank Habbel.

Judy Meyers Awarded Scholarship

A one-year tuition scholarship to Marygrove College was awarded to Judy Meyers 216 on the basis of a competitive examination. Judy took the exam along with about 150 other girls from the Detroit area on February 27. "I'm really so surprised and delighted," said Judy. "Without the scholarship, the tuition would have presented a real problem. Now that I don't have that added difficulty I'll be able to devote much more time to my schoolwork."

upped from the usual two tickets per student to three apiece. Alumni On Friday A special alumni night will be held Friday, with members of the '56 graduating class meeting in rooms 118 and 119 and '57 graduates gathering in 216 and 217 before the performance begins. Divisions Compete Competition, fostered by the offer of a party on school time, rages along division lines, as the seniors attempt to outsell the juniors, the juniors eye the seniors and underclassmen, and the sophomores and freshmen attempt to win the honors for themselves. The rally which started the drive featured student talent and a sneak preview of one of the scenes from the operetta.

Parish Gives Open Dance The St. Anthony parish Young Ladies' Sodality will sponsor a dance Saturday, April 26, in the high school gymnasium.

Parachutes Rescue Riffs from Contume Plight If the Arab dancers and riffs from the cast of "The Desert Song" seem to be floating on air, that can probably be traced to their parachute costumes. Parachutes from Army and Navy surplus, dyed by colors from crepe paper, played a major part in the elaborate costuming of this

This is the high praise received

for St. Anthony's project from Sister Rose Carlita, O.P., chairman of the Catholic Book Week campaign for Michigan.

year's operetta. Crepe paper soaked in water produces a practical dye because the colors can easily be removed from the cloth. The U. S. armed forces weren't the only military groups helping. The knights lent swords for the occasion—the Knights of St. John, that is. Glittering spangles, billowing pantaloons, and lush, royal colors decorate many of the costumes.

Ah . . . Spring!

The CBW theme, "Christian Reading for Christian Living," was well expressed in both grade and high school albums, so both were listed for the national contest. The grade school album was sent to headquarters and the high school one reserved for display at the state Catholic Library Association spring meeting in Flint, April 26.

The deep yellow outfits of Azuri's maidens contrast markedly with her lavender apparel. The resourcefulness of the maidens was put to a test when they were obliged to make their own costumes (and many of the boys'). The girls' attitude toward the picture hats they made was expressed by Judy Metyko 312: "The hats are so cute that I'd like to have some to match a few of my summer dresses. In fact, I'm planning to make at least one more." Other seamstresses include Mrs. William Mayleben, who helped some of the girls with their frocks and who is also credited with the Red Shadow's cape; S. M. Gilbertine, who sewed quite a few of the costumes; and chief designers S. M. Carl and S. M. Lauren, who designed most of them, including Susie's blue hat with the odd antenna-like flower.

Don Koch will reign as king, with his date. Donna Guzdiol, as queen. The junior girls chose Don by popular vote. Time of the dance is 8:30 - 11:30.

Since this is an activity of the parish, not the school, the dance is open to outsiders.

33 Saddle up for Driving Road-e-o They're off to the Road-e-o. A rodeo of questions, that is. Thirty-three SAH students will saddle up in an attempt to ride on to national competition in the 8th annual Teen-Age Safe Driving Road-e-o sponsored by the Detroit Junior Board of Commerce. The competitions will be held on a community, state, and national level, and the highest scorers in each level will be chosen to represent their respective locality in each contest. The local contests are written examinations, and in the state and national competitions, winners will be chosen for actual driving ability. The purpose of the Road-e-o is to help the teenager, his school, and his community by encouraging him to be a safe and sane driver. Another interesting feature of the Road-e-o is the fact that cash and scholarship prizes will be awarded on all three levels. The four district champs of Detroit will be awarded $100 each and the chance to compete in the state contest. State winners receive scholarships ranging from $500 to $1,500 in value plus an expense-paid trip to Washington, D. C. to compete for national honors. Runners-up also receive small cash and scholarship prizes. Here's hoping SAH can handle the broncs and bring home a few awards in this year's Road-e-o.

ADF Winners Chosen for Originality Since approximately 40,000 Detroit area parochial school students compete annually in the ADF essay contest, it isn't an easy task to think of new and original ways to treat the subject. The 44 SAHers, two from every English class, who won rosaries blessed by the Holy Father this year impressed their teachers with the originality of their essays. Senior rosary winners are Dave Chesney, Mary Papa, Maxine Willis, John Gracki, Elaine Kehrig, Jim Rogers, Joan Diegel, and Marvin Mauch. Among the juniors Joe Puzzuoli, Silvana LaRocca, Gerry Gorecki, Rose Gaynor, Laurine Bratke, Frank Habbel, Dick Kordos, Winnie McCarthy, Elaine Gerhard, and Tony Rutkowski took honors. Sophomores James Mauch, (Continued on Page 3, Col. 3)

The Intellectual Has Arrived

JOHN FISCHER, editor of Harper's magazine, recently stated that the "egghead" is coming into his own in our

country. The ill feeling and scorn between the intellectual and the non-intellectual is gradually breaking down.

Each is beginning to realize that one cannot exist without the other and is depending on the other to further his business, political, and cultural interests.

In school, lettermen are

beginning to receive no more attention than the students with high (grades. Teenagers seem to realize the importance of good marks and admire good report cards. Their feeling of wanting to really amount to something is more evident. College is a goal for practically everyone who can pass the entrance exam, and students enroll in extra courses for reasons ranging from, "to prepare myself better for college," to "to learn more about my favorite subject."

And all this is because America

realizes that it no longer leads the world in everything. As John Foster Dulles said, launching Sputnik may have been the biggest favor Russia ever did for us.

Don't Elope with Spring! There comes a time in the life of every struggling student when a robin's first chirping can be heard, when flowers brighten the spot where snow had previously lain, where a fresh breeze hits the atmosphere and all the breathless loveliness of spring beckons. Tom, Kathy, and Sue cast aside their texts, assume that "far away" look and elope with spring! But don't let that "come hither" summons of spring lift you out of your study-hall window and into the realms of "moody mid-semester melancholia,"—no! Buck that restless call! Charge that English, that math, that history with

determination on all sides! Lubricate those wheels of progress and mold that mighty force into a resounding "high note" for your quarterly report. Remember, Latin didn't kill the Romans, so take Caesar by the hand, look him straight in the eye and say, "Julius, I can lick you any day!" Then go ahead and do it. And if that doesn't help, get out that old bottle of "I-wanna-work" and drown those lazy germs which disease your other-wise healthy education. Awaken from your spring time fantasies, knuckle down to your books, study more intensively, brave the resistance.

"Cheated"

Sitting behind comfortable desks in uncrowded classrooms, absorbing an unhurried education, SAH students find it difficult to imagine people who want a diploma but are "cheated" of it. In April, "Teaching Career Month," the rising salaries and opportunities of the profession are put before young America. The shortage of teachers grows dangerous now and can only become worse. For a stronger America, our own benefit, and the sake of the young people reaching toward a full education, all of us should at least consider teaching as a career.

For Future Recessions

A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT many times sees something wrong that

he would like to help remedy but, because of his age and present position, he can do nothing about it. Many feel this way about the recession that the U. S. is in now. Although we are unable to take decisive action now, we will have the power to make our voices and votes heard in just a few years. One of the reasons that America is in its present predicament is the careless attitude of the voters for the last 25 years. Few take the trouble to study the policies of the executives and legislators that they help to put into office and so unwittingly may endorse unsound economic policies. Many citizens, failing to understand economic principles, help push the country towards recession. Some businessmen are guilty of over-expansion, wage earners and homemakers of excessive installment-plan buying, legislators of keeping the tax system inflexible and unable to adjust to periods of deflation and inflation. Regardless of the field a present high school student enters in the future, he will have the power to exert an influence on the country's economy. Whether his influence will be favorable or unfavorable depends to a great extent upon his understanding of the U. S. economic structure. Now is the time to build a better future. And only the citizens and voters of the future can do it. * * * WITH SPRING comes the hope of an economic uplift delayed by terrible March weather. The administration has put off any drastic action on the "recession" and is determined not to be panicked by alarmists. In spite of the decrease in personal income and increase in the cost of living, the president is still confident that US economy will improve. He is, however, concerned with payrolls and states that this is "the time to think of people, not of technicalities."

What Makes a Coach? A man or woman can take a coaching job with the thought, "Good, now I'll make some money," or "What can I make out of my team?" Yet, the spirit of a team is the coach. Its actions are his, for although he cannot instill his own ability in his players, he influences them with his ideals and morals. To the high school athlete, the coach is an idol whom he wishes to copy. And to the true coach, the team is more than a tool to win games with: it is a group of youngsters who are developing into adults under his leadership. It takes more than money to make a person who "lives" coaching. The patience to deal with 50 or more enthusiastic students trying out for a team, and the know-how and understanding to cut the players are typical only of a good coach. And the satisfaction of knowing that the players are learning a good game and finding new friendships and understanding through sportsmanship is the true reward found by the real "coach."

Dear St. Anthony, Help me to be like they who have graduated: the newly ordained

priest, the postulant nun, the parent.

Keep my mind clear, through our studies and activities, so that I may

accept my vocation knowingly.

Help the other kids, too. Make their high school days as happy and as

beneficial as mine.

But right now help the freshies to win the ticket sales, the sophs to

become juniors, the juniors to win intramurals, and since it is my last year—get me to the prom.

2 Sophs Awarded Gold Keys in Contest An original radio script, 'The Story of Pogo Town," and a radio adaptation of Jessamyn West's "The Pacing Goose" won for Sophomores Denise Garbarino 120 and Lillian Shynkar 116 gold keys, highest local prize in the National Scholastic Writing Awards Contest. Geraldine Swiderski 219, Faith Minne 215, and Judy Meyers 216 were given commendation for an historical article, a Prelude feature story, and a familiar essay, respectively. In the junior division, Robert Daigle 119, author of a familiar essay, and Robert VandenBrook 122, with an original radio script, were mentioned. Awards will be presented May 7 at the Detroit institute of Arts Auditorium. This year, fewer St. Anthony students took awards. One English teacher lists increased competition as a possible cause because more than 9,000 entries were submitted this year, substantially more than in previous contests.

Class Goes Shakespearean "Some of the players were unusually good," S. M. Bettina commented about the Shakespearean performances of the journalism class. As their extra project in the study of "Julius Caesar," class members "staged" and directed their own productions of scenes from the play. The scenes portrayed were Act II, scene 2, in which Caesar is persuaded to go to the capitol by Decius; Act III, scene 1, in which the conspirators kill Caesar; and Act IV, scene 3, in which Brutus and Cassius quarrel. "Except for a few lines that were skipped or forgotten, I think the scenes were successful," remarked one of the student directors, "and it was fun putting them on." Sister Bettina said, "I hoped the acting would give the class more speaking experience and force them to understand the play better."

ADF Winners (Continued from Page 1, Col. 5) Marcelin Meloche, Jackie Grillo, and Fred Anthony won in their division. Other names were not available. Freshman winners are Bob Hazzard, Judy Stocker, Ed Kaiser, Mary Ann Schemanski, Nassif Makhool, Carol Baranski, Diana Strobi, Don Rhode, Leon Noel, Helen Lessard, Dwight Sobczak, Judy Dombrowski, Janice Greschow, and Bart Fiumano.

SAHers 'Guinea Pigs' after School Hours SAH's gifted students are being used as experimental "guinea pigs" by the Detroit Board of Education in a trial program of exceptional after-school courses. At Northern High, one of the five public schools offering extra courses to St. Anthony students, 12 SAHers meet every Thursday for a 3:30-6:00 p.m. class in nuclear science. The course deals in the greatest part with radioactivity, its effects and functions. As an experiment to see if Russian, a college course, could be introduced into the high school curriculum, a course in conversational Russian is being conducted in two Detroit high schools. Silvana LaRocca 214, Linda Lennert 118, Francia Miesel 219, Mary Jane Stibich 219, and Joe Trachy 119 attend the hour and a half class at Central High on Mondays and Thursdays. Judy Meyers is St. Anthony's only representative in the international relations class at Cass Tech. Judy, who plans to go into politics, says that the course provides an opportunity to know whether that is the field she would want.

No Pressure

The great books and creative writing courses are conducted informally so students can freely express opinions on the topic of discussion. Homework is not compulsory in either. The reason for the absence of pressure was explained by Mrs.

Elizabeth Sylvester, teacher of creative writing at Pershing. "Why should I force you to do something if your mind tells you to do something else?" she said. "Do whatever you want to. If you want to write a novel, write one." Mr. Robert Donaldson, great books instructor at Osborn, says, "If the only result of this course is that I've succeeded in getting 20 more students to read three of the world's great books, I will be satisfied. But I hope to accomplish far more than that." Participating Students

Joan Schwab, Laurine Bratke, Winnie McCarthy, Judy Stocker, Kathleen Schrader, and Bob VandenBrook attend the classes in creative writing. Students enrolled in great books are Carol Roe, Betty Burcz, Judy Pesto, Joanne Paval, Mary Jo Francis, Eileen Watson, and Jackie Grillo. Studying nuclear science are Seniors Dick Koschmeder, George Kott, John Gracki, Marvin Stibich, Jim Rogers, Mike Kuehnel, Earl Harper, Elizabeth Bojalad, and Faith Minne, along with Juniors Dick Kordos, Frank Habbel, and Carol Kerwinski.

Drivers' Training Stresses Attitudes with Abilities "How do I get it moving? Better yet, how do I make it stop once it is moving?" cry the trainees at the Detroit drivers' training course, including a large number of SAH students. The course, compulsory for prospective Michigan drivers under 18 years of age, teaches "under-the-hood" parts of an auto, as well as driving skills.

SANDY LINDEMOEN, Mickey

Rager, and Cindy Kopitz learn

the rules of the road. Students attend three classes a week, on alternate days. There are about 40 members in each class. "The drivers' training course prepares you to go out on the road. It makes you familiar with all the rules and regulations," says Phyllis Augustyn 214. Emphatic in her recommendation of the classes, Lorraine Rogers 214 states, "I think everyone should take this course, even licensed drivers." Arlene Biaiek 214 explains that talks are given on "driving attitudes, as -well as driving abilities."

Latin Students

Act, Travel Psyche, Cupid, and other mythological characters will visit 218 when Latin III students interpret them for the class. The students also plan to portray parts of St. Benedict's life, which they are translating from their textbook. The cultural background of the class will be broadened by a trip to the Toledo Art Museum, April 21. President Adrienne Szpadzinski says, "We are hoping that this trip will be as enjoyable and profitable as the one we took to the Detroit Institute of Arts."

Teutonettes Take St. Mary Tourney St. Anthony's Teutonettes came home from St. Mary, Mount Clemens, Invitational Tournament with the trophy and an all-star player. After eliminating St. Elizabeth and St. Clement, Centerline, the 'Ettes met St. Mary in the final game. The Mount Clemens squad quickly scored 8 points in the first minutes of play, but the Teutonettes suddenly sparked for 9 points while they held St. Mary scoreless. From that point on, the game seesawed, but the SAH cagerettes pulled out the 34-29 victory. Besides winning the trophy, the squad placed one player, Carol Roe, on the all-star team. Dorothy Rutkowski received honorable mention.

Teutons Lose District Lead Tournament pressure proved too much for the Teuton squad as they were edged from district playoffs by Cathedral Central, 29-28. After beating St. Ambrose in the opener at Servite gym, inexperience again tallied against St. Tony. With an almost completely sophomore squad the Teutons were held to a low score in the first half. As they gradually gained in the second, the gamed see-sawed. Both teams missed plenty of free throws and hurried shots. In the last minutes Cathedral Central gained a one-point lead that the Teutons were unable to diminish.

Favored Reserves Beaten 27-20 With the St. Rita Invitational

Tournament title tucked in their pockets, the Teutonette reserves went into the St. Mary, Mount Clemens, Invitational as favorites.

They whipped Servite 34-14 in

the first game. But St. Lawrence of Utica forgot about the odds and eliminated the reserves with a 27-20 victory.

Joanne Juneau, high scorer of

the tourney with 30 points, was named to the all-star team.

Boys' Varsity Trounced In a fast, action-packed contest

the alumni took a victory from the St. Anthony varsity basketball team March 30.

The 37-34 score ended a see-

saw battle in the traditional way, with the varsity on the short end of the score.

St. Paul snapped back in the third quarter to score 12 points while the SAY sextet was held to 5. In the last quarter St. Paul again outscored the Teutonettes by 2 points. Nativity's Viqueens tasted defeat when St. Anthony walloped them 42-24. After the see-saw first half, the Viqueens were held to 7 points to St. Anthony's 22 in the second. In the first playoff game, the Teutonettes came back after a slipshod first half to ship St. David 29-19. Points for .... 936

Despite a fourth-quarter spurt, the girls' jayvee team fell to St. Paul, Grosse Pointe, in the second game of city championship playoffs. The reserves' 8 points in the last quarter were not enough to win the lead, so the game ended 16-14. In the first playoff game, the jayvee forwards clicked for 17 points while the defense held St. Martin to 7. High scorers of the tourney were Carol Kerwinski with 15 points and Joanne Juneau with 13.

Alumnae Top Teutonettes In a three-minute overtime, the alumnae Teutonettes squeezed a 30-29 victory from the varsity March 30. Sparked by Judy Van Fleteren '57 and Carol Kirouac '54, the alumnae scored a tie in the closing seconds to cause an overtime. They then managed to hold the Teutonettes to a single basket, while alumnae forwards dropped in 3 points.

sophs and juniors oppose freshies. The following week, the Girls' "A" Club Tournament will be held with a similar program. Varsity players will coach the respective teams. Varsity and reserve players are not eligible to play. Admission for the games is: semi-finals, ten cents; playoffs, a quarter.

Girls' Softball Resumed; Alumna Coaches After a year's layoff, the girls' softball team began practice in full swing again. With a tough league schedule approaching, the Teutonettes have hopes of a good team. Although only a few experienced players are returning, 40 girls tried out. Judy Van Fleteran, '57 graduate,
