Students Recall
Retreat Spirit
     "Be only yourself," emphasized Reverend J. McNichols, retreat master at the Day of Recollection, Friday, Jan. 23.
     Father McNichols directed several conferences in the gymnasium for the entire student body and one in the church to close the sessions before 12:55 Mass. The time between conferences was filled with spiritual reading in the homerooms and Confession.
     "When you are true to your vocation, you will be false to no man," was Fr. McNichols' main point.

It's 'Important
To Be Earnest'

     "Earnest" in spite of himself.

Catholic Press Month,
Book Week Observed
"Hold to the path of truth and justice." These words of the late Pope Pius XII were chosen as the theme of Catholic Press Month, which is in its final week.
     "Hold to the path of truth and Pope Pius XII were chosen as the which is in its final week.
     This week, February 22 to 28, is also set aside as Catholic Book Week to "Share Truth; Spread Faith."
     Catholic book exhibits, including one from Mark Twain public library, are set up by the SAH Library Aide Club in the school library and on bulletin boards.
     Every day during Book Week reviews on some of the better Catholic books in the library are being sent throughout the school.
     "It is no longer a matter of choice for Catholics to read Catholic newspapers, periodicals, and magazines; it is a matter of
 
obligation," asserts Bishop Albert Zuroweste of Belleville, Ill, episcopal chairman of the NCWC press department.

Junior Legion
Serves Parish
     Junoirs and sophomores of St. Anthony Parish are becoming "angels of mercy" in the newly organized Legion of Mary.
     The members, both boys and girls, visit sick and elderly parishioners. Their president is Mr. Tom Paonessa, and Fr. Paul Schenk, the Spiritual Director.
     Members agree that the Legion is spiritually profitable and offers personal satisfaction for everyone.
 
     That's whom Jack, played by Chris Wrosch 215, proved to be. The senior class presented Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 under the direction of Miss Patricia Francis.
     Jim Taube 217 portrayed Algy, who also used the name of Earnest to win the affections of Cecily, Judy Adams 218, Jack's ward.
      Gwendolyn, Kathy Schrader 216, seeks the love of "the Earnest Worthington." Both get their men in the happy ending, overcoming Silvana La Rocca 217's interference in the role of Lady Bracknell.
      The cast was completed by Mary Jo Francis, Miss Prism; Herb Dempz, Doctor Chasuble; Hank Flange, Lane the butler; and Arleen Hansen, Merriman the maid.
      Behind scenes 47 seniors cooperated for the play's success in wardrobe, make - up, tickets, properties and technical committees.
 

SCENE: Red Mill - This year's operetta stars Kathy Mazzoline, Jim Ducharme, and (top) Denise Abood.
 
Dempz) locks his daughter Gretchen (Kathy Mazzoline) in the red mill, things turn out just a little differently.
     Gretchen, who is betrothed to the Governor of Zeeland (Ken Missig), decides to wed her lover, Captain Carl Van Damm (Jim Ducharme).
Gretchen Plans Escape
     Aided by the innkeeper's daughter, Tina (Denise Abood), and her aunt Bertha (Lorraine Rogers), Gretchen plans to excape with Carl. When the situation gets too confused, "Con" Kidder and "Kid" Conner (Dick Kordos and Chris Wrosch), two broke but willing Americans touring Europe, offer their services to the unfortunate couple.
     To add just a little more excitement, the sheriff (Dennis Meloche) and the keeper of The Red Mill Inn (Dan Azarovitz) make some of their own plans.
     As the story progresses, things become more bewildering. How they are straightened out climaxes the story.
     The Girls Glee Club also sings an arrangement, adding to the supporting cast of the chorus's annual spring operetta.

Voters Draw More;
'59ers Victorious Again
The class of '59 kept the crown for the third consecutive year when its candidates, Adrienne Szpadzinski and Jim Soldatek, became Mardi Gras queen and king, Feb. 10.
     The seniors averaged 195 votes per student to top the juniors, runners-up with 188 votes each. Both the sophomore and frosh candidates drew 141 votes by each student in their divisions.
     The total sum donated to the CSMC from the voting was larger than ever before.
     The floats were larger and more beautiful than ever, too - so much better that it proved impossible for the judges to choose a winner.
     "Around the World in 80 Minutes," the Mardi Gras theme, was the basis of the entire celebration.
     Each homeroom chose a different nationality to represent. "It looked like a UN meeting right in our gym," comments one student.
     The audience got an idea of 21 foreign countries. There were folk dances from Poland 218, Ireland 216, Spain 119, Mexico 214, Scotland 122, Syria, and Russia. Seventh Grader Carlo De Angelo, musical duets, quartets, and solos, and a Japanese skit combined for a lively afternoon talent program highlighted b y entertainment from all 13 young priests at Saint Anthony.
  
     Climaxing the celebration, Adrienne and Jim were announced queen and king and received their crowns at the Mardi Gras dance the same evening in the gym.
     Juniors Pat Carey and Pete Faraci, Sophomores Eleanor Grimaldi and Ed Kaiser, and Frosh Pat Savoretti and Don Missant were the other candidates for the throne.
     Seniors Peggy Patterson 215 and Ruth Gaynor 215 directed the program.

SAHer's TV Debut
     "It was a really worthwhile and unforgettable experience," commented Dennis Ross 218, one of SAH's panelists on the TV program "Quiz 'Em on the Air," Jan 10.
      St. Anthony's scored 700 points in the competition against Holy Redeemer and won second prize.
      "The questions were based on topics and pictures appearing in the news and sport sections of the Detroit News of the previous week," explained Lorraine Rogers 218.
