An Old Way to
Be New
HAVE YOU EVER walked along a
street when the first snow was crowning
every inch with dazzling diamonds? And as
the streetlight silhouetted the trees
against the glistening sidewalks, your
only companions were your thoughts and
the thousands of snowflakes scrambling to
escape your crunching feet.
Yes, your
thoughts, like those a poet wishes to
have, were as new as the tracks you were
leaving behind. They were new and good
and nice to think of because you were
thinking of them then. You were thinking
of Christmas and how you could make it
happier, and your thoughts didn't seem
ready and old-fashioned. Was it just the
snow?
You
realized that it was the little things
that counted, helping, smiling, caring,
loving, and giving instead of getting.
And then with the determination with
which you threw that snowball, you
resolved to make this December 25 a merry
Christmas for somebody else besides
yourself. |

was expressed by Mr.
Edward Skendzel, of the Department of Curriculum
of the parochial schools.
Mr. Skendzel
explains that since the launching of the Russian
sputniks, many educators have realized the
necessity for a greater emphasis on math and
science. Participation in the science fair should
result in a greater interest in the field of
science.

The
dynamic Rev. Frank Holland, S.J. wll
address sodalists attending the
University of Detroit's annual Training
School of Sodality Action, February 1 and

Father
Holland is well known for his enthusiasm
and zeal by the St. Anthony sodalists who
have heard him speak at sodality
functions.
Delivering
the initial keynote address will be
Richard Peck, former prefect of the
sodality at the university now engaged in
social work. Richard visited St. Anthony
two years ago and delivered an address to
the student body.

for Personal Liberties |
"All
human beings are equal in the sight of
God; in a democracy we are equal in the
sight of our fellow-men . . . Each one of
us, from the man selling shoe laces on
the corner to the president of the
largest corporation, has the right to
enjoy the political, religious, social,
educational, and personal liberties of
man."
The
voice of Lucille Gough 216 sounded over
the p. a. on November 20, as, in
competition with nine other senior
students, she won the approval of the
students and faculty for her entry in the
Voice of Democracy Contest.
Lucille
received a certificate of merit as the
school-wide winner and then delivered her
talk in city-wide competition on November
23.
The
eleventh annual Voice of Democracy
contest, sponsored by the Detroit Junior
Board of Commerce, was open to students
of public and parochial high schools.
The
purpose ,of the contest is to encourage
high school students to |

government, to weigh the blessings
and opportunities of this system, and to speak affirmatively in
its behalf. |

school
participation developed partly from a
survey being taken in the parochial
schools of Detroit to gain a more
accurate estimate of the percentage of
students taking courses in math and
science.
The figures
obtained so far indicate that a high
percentage of students are studying these
subjects. The editor of the Detroit News
attributes this in part to the absence of
"unnecessary frills" in the
parochial school system.
Mr.
Skendzel .suggests that we can go further
in the field of public relations by
showing others that we are "not only
interested in teaching religion, but that
we are interested in developing
citizens."
"We
strive to teach them how to live and how
to make a living."

Mary
Ann Skiba 216 first got the idea of
sending a letter to Denby. During an
after-school discussion in 216, she
mentioned it to a group of students
there.
The idea
caught on and travelled across the hall
to 217, headquarters of the student
council. The council adopted the plan,
changing the letter to a telegram. On
November 12 the message was wired.
The
following letter, sent in reply to the
telegram, was received at St. Anthony
November 26:
To the Student Body
of St. Anthony:
The
students of Denby received your telegram
at our last assembly. The team, faculty,
and students feel that it was a real
"trophy" for us.
We
are having the telegram framed and it
will be placed in the trophy showcase. We
wish to express our thanks and
appreciation for your thoughtfulness.

Denby situation was caused by a falsely
sympathetic public reaction when Denby

because of student forgery of medical
certificates. |
