for Seniors, Parents
   Parents of juniors and seniors have been invited to attend with their sons and daughters a school-spoonsored "College Night" on December 3 at St. Anthony.
   The student council has invited the University of Detroit, St. Joseph's
 
speak on the importance of Catholic Student's attendance at Catholic college or university rather than at a state or secular institute.

Card Drive
under Quota
   "In spite of the fact that the school failed to reach its quota, the drive was a success," says Sister M. Petrann, CSMC moderator, of the September 30 - October 15 Christmas card drive.
   Proceeds from the sale are applied towards the tuition of a young man studying to be a priest.
   High salesman of the school was Charlaine Lockart 314 who sold 55 boxes. Gloria Rzewnicki 115 was second with 32 boxes, followed by Dorothy Normile 312 with 30.
   Room 115, with 33% of its students cooperating, sold 192 boxes. Room 119 had 157 and Room 314 sold 151.
  
Junior has
a New Girl?
   Junior has a girl friend? No, that's his mother he's asked to the dance.
   This turn of events results from the coming Senior-Parent Dance to be held Tuesday, November 26.
   Given exclusively for the seniors and their parents, the dance provides an extra opportunity for the seniors' teachers to meet the parents, and gives the boys and girls a chance to "show off" their folks.
   Square dancing will form a part of the evening's program if the majority of the parents approve.

School Groups Off
to Conventions
   This must be a conventional time of year, judging by the activities of many school organizations. Convention's the word - from the Future Nurses Club to the cheerleaders.
   Donna Guzdiol 314, and Elaine Kehrig 215 attended the October 26 convention of Future Nurses in Rochester, Michigan.
   Mrs. G. Mennen Williams, the governor's wife, and the "Student Nurses of the Year" delivered talks to the girls on the satisfaction and desirability of a career in nursing.
   "It was an inspiration to see so many student nurses together in one place at one time", says Elaine Kehrig. "And just to see all those caps!
   "The nurse's cap means so much to a girl. When a student nurse receives her cap it's a sign that she's well on her way to reaching her goal."
   The student nurses attending the convention addressed the representatives from Future Nurses Clubs in many parts of Michigan.
   "How to Improve Your Future Teachers Club" was explained during the FTA Worshop at Eastern Michigan College, Ypsilanti, on November 9.
   Phil Acquaro 219 represented the St. Anthony FTC among the leaders of the discussion groups. Phil's group concentrated on possible activities to be sponsored by the club.
   The St. Anthony delegation was split up among several such discussion groups, all working to stimulate a greater interest in teaching through active and suc-
  
cessful Future Teachers' Clubs.
   The campus of Eastern Michigan College welcomed SAH to a cheerleaders' convention October 26.
   The squad of junior cheerleaders, along with three of the seniors, attended.
   John Gracki 217 and Elizabeth Bojalad 217 attended the student council workshop on October 29 at the University of Michigan.
   The purpose of the workshop was to offer suggestions to those participating which would help improve the student council and make a more effective school organization.
   Sisters teaching in the high school will find time during the Thanksgiving holiday, on November 29 and 30, to attend a School Sister of Notre Dame educational convention in Chicago.
   Some of the Sisters will attend a math and science convention in session on Friday, November 29, and will stay in Chicago for the next day's conference.
   The purpose of the Saturday, November 30, convention is to give the Sisters and other Notre Dame high school teachers a chance to talk over common problems and objectives.
 


 
toys and two choruses will join to sing the story of the wooden soldiers.
   During the second part of the program, the religious part, two groups will sing while tableaux are presented on stage.
   Among the soloists are Gildo Ferranti who will sing "Lift a Lamp in Darkness;" Geraldine Balut, "Be Not Dismayed;" Kathleen Mazzolini, "The Shepherds."

Upperclassmen Battered
by Battery of Tests
   To help juniors and seniors determine their aptitudes in certain areas, a battery of tests were administered to the upperclassmen during the week of October 28-31.

Library Club
Honors Book Week
   SAH "Climbers Club" members will take a book poll during National Book Week, November 17-23.

student has attained in handling certain kinds of verbal or quantitative material.
   The seniors took a total of seven differential aptitude tests, covering verbal reasoning, numerical ability, abstract reasoning, space relationships, mechanical reasoning, clerical ability, and language.
   Last year, the school rented the test booklets and sent the tests out for correction. The results of the tests were so beneficial that this year the school bought the booklets. Correction of the tests will take place at St. Anthony.
   Each student will receive an individual profile or chart, explaining the results of the tests.
   It is the hope of the school administration that the tests will be of help to the students in choosing careers.
 
   Co-sponsored locally by The Detroit News and nationally by Scholastic Magazine, the program is open to students in Grades 6 to 12 in public and parochial schools.
   All entries must be received at The Detroit News by January 28, 1958.
   The Rev. Omer P. St. Onge, principal of Notre Dame High School and member of the project's advisory committee, suggests that the students best work of the school year be selected by the teacher and student together and submitted with an entry form to The Detroit News.
   Awards range from certificates of merit and dictionaries in the local contest to cash awards and college scholarships at the national level.
   A panel of more than 120 teachers and school officials spend many hours reading the entries before arriving at a decision. Each entry is read by at least three different judges before the awards are given.
   Last year SAH students took six key awards and ten commendations. Further information concerning the contest may be obtained from the English instructors.
