Seniors
to Visit
Atomic Plant
The seniors
will tour the new Enrico Atomic Power
Plant near Monroe, Michigan Thursday,
October 15.
On their annual one-day
educational venture, the seniors will
visit the plant's Information Center to
learn how atomic-electric power will be
produced in the future.
This Detroit Edison
plant is the largest of its kind in the
world. The class of '60 will see exhibits
on nuclear energy and progressive movies
on the importance of the peacetime use of
the atom.
Opening
Meeting
Promotes SC
"Student
Council means student participation
explained officers at an open Student
Council meeting, September 15. The round-table
discussion, held in the auditorium,
introduced the Student Council to the
frosh and gave the rest of the student
body an idea of how meetings are
conducted.
The assembly promoted
understanding of what the Student Council
is, its aims and objectives.
"We got many ideas
from our Ann Arbor trip," mentioned
the officers, who attended a student
government workshop open to Michigan
parochial and public schools during the
summer.
"The workshop
included buzz sessions, problem clinics,
and round-table discussions with lectures
by U of M professors," commented
Bernie Bak 217, president. |

semester," explains Sister
M. Gilbertine, principal. More room was
desired for the juniors and seniors.
Another junior homeroom was needed
because of the large enrollment.
Library Moved
To leave room for
an extra homeroom on the third floor,
Room 312 was converted into the library.
It has more wall space than was available
in Room 316.
In the basement, the
new attraction is the arts and crafts
room which occupies space left unused
since the boys' locker room was moved to
the new gym. The drafting room was
enlarged and the basement corridor re-routed
in the process.
Parish Funds Used
"These
renovations used the parish's reserve
finances. We're now operating on the
weekly collections," observed the
Rev. Norbert Sulkowski, C.PP.S., pastor.
In the future he also hopes to install
fluorescent lighting, paint the basement,
put a filter in the gym, repair the gym
floor, and make additions to the
washrooms. |
Memory
Book
Permanent
"The
senior memory book is permanently
replacing the year book in both parochial
and public high schools, due to a change
in educational trend. The yearbook will
be found in the future only in the
college," explains Sister M.
Gilbertine, principal.
Twenty '60 grads compose
the memory book staff. In addition, co-workers
assist in typing and form a business
staff. "An editor will be chosen
later," stated Sister M. Bettina,
moderator.
Layout editors
include Flo Cosgrove 218 and Lillian
Shynkar 216. Linda Lennert 215, Judy
Pesto 215, and Donna Fodell 215 are co-workers
on copy. Photography heads are Judy
Jagacki 217 and Donna Puwal 215. |

The
arts and crafts course taught by
Sister M. Anaclete, is a new
addition to the SAH curriculum,
designed to help pupils master
artistic techniques.
Guidance Program
Offered Upperclassmen
Upperclassmen
are now included in the guidance
program which will occupy the
Friday activity period for the
remainder of the year. In
previous years the freshmen were
introduced to this course to
acquaint them with high school
methods and to enable them to
develop a well-rounded personal
life.
The extended
program for the higher divisions
offers vocational and educational
planning. Other |

Art
has not been included in the
scheduled courses at St. Anthony
since 1953.
Eighty
two students of sophomore,
junior, and senior divisions
attend the classes.
The course
will teach painting in all its
medias so that the students can
become familiar with all phases
of art. "Crafts, such as
ceramics, stuffed-animal making,
and wood-work will also be
taught," explains Sister
Anaclete.
"Three
rooms have been devoted to the
new department. All work will be
on display," she adds.
The arts
class will have its own library
where students can browse, view
paintings of both old and new
masters, and glean new ideas.

Retreat
Stresses 'Christ as Friend' |
"I like
giving retreats more than anything,"
exclaimed Rev. Robert Hunt, C.PP.S.,
director Of the retreat held at St.
Anthony Sept. 23-25.
"Learn to love God
deeper," he emphasized during a
series of nine conferences. He summarized
each address with a quotation from
scripture.
Father called Christian
life "a friendship with Christ,"
and recommended several helps for this
life. Among these, he said, "Get to
know Christ better as a friend. Pray."
He also stressed frequent reception of
the sacraments.
A help to overcoming
sin is to "resist the beginnings,
for we slide slowly into mortal sins,"
he stressed.
To conclude the three
day retreat, the papal blessing was
bestowed on the student body. |

topics
are social and family life, focusing on Christian
principles.
"The course will give the
students an opportunity to seek the aid of an
instructor in any problem, if they so wish,"
says Sister M. Cordula, who outlined the program
for the school. Books and pamphlets will be
distributed on each phase of the counseling.
Typewriters
Modern
Future
secretaries can practice on a new consignment of
imported typewriters. Eight new additions arrived
recently from Wilhelm-shauer in Western Germany.
"The manual typewriters
are very sturdy and much heavier than the others.
They are becoming popular in city offices,"
Sister Joannella, commercial teacher, remarks.
Particularly useful devices new
on the Olympia are the paper supports and the
last-line indicator, which determines the end of
the page beforehand. |

Planned
for the year's agenda are trips to both Cranbrook
and the Detroit Institute of Arts.
The Archdiocese of Detroit and
the public school system prescribe that such a
course be adopted in every high school. "The
experience gained can be utilized for more
productive leisure time and for enriching their
lives, both during their high school years and
afterward," says Dr. Kent Leach of the
University of Michigan.
Sodality
Observes
Rosary Month
The
month of October was begun with the Living Rosary
held in the gym Oct. 1.
Junior
and senior girls in blue capes formed the beads,
and boys formed the cross. At the saying of each
"Hail Mary" a rose was placed at the
feet of the Blessed Mother.
The
event was sponsored by the Sodality. |
