Seniors and juniors received Holy communion under two species Wednesday, February 3, when the Reverends William Lesko and Gregory Rommach officiated at an Eastern Rite Mass at St. Atnhony Church.

Proceeding to make their own "discoveries," many science students are working on individual projects for

the Detroit Science Fair, April 7-10 at the DetroitLight Guard Armory. It is co-sponsored by the Detroit news and the Engineering Society of Detroit.

The Priests perform their priestly duties at St. nicholas Creek Catholic Parish in the city whieh follows the Byzantine-Slovanic Rite.
Since the idea originated in Father Paul Schenk's senior religion class, Father made the arrangements for the Mass.

    Eastern Churches are members of Greek and other Eastern rites which have either come back into union with Rome or were never separated. Those who have reunited with Holy See are Uniates. They are as fully and completely Catholic as those of the West. Actually the term "Uniates" is just as much of an insult in the East as "Papists" is in the West.
    There are about one million Catholics of Eastern rite in the United States and Canada.
    Eastern Catholics are often confused with the Orthodox because

their rites are so similar. In their liturgy the only thing that appears different is the absence of the Pope's name.
The ancient rites are fully Catholic. To the Oriental a rite is not just a matter of liturgical usage. For him it is something of a certain nation or people, a necessary part of tradition. He appreciates its liturgy and spirituality because of their ties with his own background.
Although Eastern rites possess their own liturgy, canon law, and customs, they do not differ from Latin Churches in faith, morals,

and obedience to the Pope.
    They are very ceremonial. Even the simplest inspirations turn into lengthly performances. Their Mass includes several processions, one of which commemorates the entry of Christ into Jerusalem.
    They make us of leavened bread which is made into hosts by the priests and nuns.
    Concelebration is found in some of the Eastern rites. This is a Mass in which several priests and bishops offer sacrifice at the same time.
    The Mass is called "Holy Liturgy" or "The Offering."
    The Byzantine Slavonic rite Mass has three main divisions. During the "prokomedia," the rite of preparation, the species — bread of pure wheaten flour, natural water and yeast, and pure grape wine — are prepaed. " Incense, having been blessed, is used to incense the sacred vessels.
    The "Anaphora" is the great Eucharistic offering or sacrifice. It corresponds to the consecration. The term "Anaphora" comes from the Greek words meaning, "I sacrifice." After the actual consecration and elevation of the "Lamb", the Host, It is broken into four pieces. Having made the sign of the cross with the uppermost part, the priest drops it and the other three pieces into the chalice.
    In the Byzantine rite—one of the Eastern Churches — there are three Eucharistic Liturgies (Masses): those of Saint John Chrysostom, Saint Basil, and the Presanctified.
    A Divine Office of great length is included in the Byzantine liturgy along with ceremonies for administration of several sacraments. Its original language was Greek but it has since been translated into others.
    Their Sign of the Cross is made from right to left and Communion under both species is distributed

"Know the Truth, Spread the Truth" is the slogan for the national campaign of Catholic Library Week to be observed February 20-27, the last week of Catholic Press Month.

    The SAH unit of the National Catholic Student Library Assistant Association will be kept quite busy during the month.
    The aides are contacting the public libraries, asking the librarians to post Catholic Book Week posters and lists of Catholic reading.
    Another project for the month is the raising of money for books to be sent to the missions. Students are asked to bring old books and used texts during the drive.
    Within the St. Anthony library aide unit, pins will be presented to student librarians who complete work beyond the number of hours required. This, too, is a part of the celebration for the month.
    English classes throughout the lend their bit to the celebration of Catholic Press Month. Periodicals posted on bulletin boards remind pupils of the value of reading Catholic papers.

Test Math. IQ's

    Planning to match their wits in a national mathematics contest, four senior math students will spend the next three weeks "boning up" on the subject.
    The annual math contest, jointly sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America and the Society of Actuaries, will be given March 3 at St. Anthony.
    Purpose of the competition is to sustain student interest in math. Test questions cover high school algebra and geometry.
    Participating from St. Tony are Paul Horbal 217, Tom Kolodziejski 216, Richard Lecuyer 217, and Gerald Squires 217.

Senior Tourists
To See Capitol

    It's off on a jaunt to Washington for the 1960 grads. The trip scheduled for April 16-19 will enable the students to view their nation's capitol, where history is made.

    The seniors will leave at 6:00 a. m. Saturday traveling on Greyhound buses.

    Their tour will include such interesting sights as the National Historic Wax Museum, Arlington Cemetery, Mount Vernon, and Alexandria, Va.

    Not forgetting present history, the tourists will be given the opportunity to see the Pentagon, Library of Congress, Supreme Court, and the Bureau of Engraving & Printing.

    One of the most important features of the trip will be Mass on Easter Sunday at the recently dedicated Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

    Completing the tour will be a stop at the Archives Building and the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials. Along with this there will be a night trip through Washington.

    The chartered bus will leave the Diplomatic Motel, where SAH seniors will stay, on Monday evening, returning home on April 19.

    Besides a junior division in general science open to students of seventh, eighth, and ninth grade levels, a senior division will include exhibits in chemistry, physics, engineering, mathematics, biology, and physiography.
    Last year's fair hosted 1,939 student exhibits. Even more are anticipated this year. Approximately ten top projects from each of the various divisions will be awarded engraved plaques besides the blue ribbons for excellence. Exhibits not given blue ribbons will be awarded either red ribbons for outstanding work or white "honorable mention" ribbons.
    The two highest - ranking exhibitors will receive all-expense-paid trips to the National Science Fair at Hartford, Conn.
    Although most SAH entries come from the chemistry and physics classes. Freshman Michael Zafarana 117 plans an exhibit on home heating.
    Projects vary from the study of viruses to a probe into atomic fall-out.
    "Black Magic," as Marianne Zimmerman 315 entitles her project, presents a study of coal with charts, outlines, and information. "I hope to present a complete picture with information on coal formation, the varieties of coal, and the process of mining it," she explains.
    Other projects include studies of the seasons, sound waves, the effect of air currents, and synthetic rubber production.
    "Chemistry is Color" is the project of Sue Grenda 219, and Julianna Lapinski 219 brings home economics into her project, which delves into yeast fermentation.

FNA 'on Air'

SAH offered its contribution to the world of radio Monday, January 24, when three Future Nurses from the St. Anthony unit appeared on "Guest House," a WWJ program which interviews various city groups and individuals.
Lorraine Wesolowski 217, Margaret Kontowksi 315, and Jackie Jaster 217 reported on activities of the Future Nurses of America organization.

    "The technique in debating is thinking on your feet, hearing an argument and giving an immediate answer to it," explained Mr. Timothy Donohue, moderator of the SAH Debate Club.

    The club continues in its acti- vities, helping the debaters learn the qualities of a good speaker and preparing them for the monthly St. Thomas More Forum debates.

    A freshman-sophomore team is being readied for a debate with Notre Dame early in March. Members include Mike Zafarana 117, Gary Carotta 115 and Paul Machuga 116.

Critics Judge
Interpretations

    Creative oral reading will be judged March 5 when the second Genesian Interpretation Festival convenes at Rosary High School.

    Interpretation Day will consist of student - participation work - shops in ten types of interpretation ranging from poetry to multiple readings.

    Criticisms will be given each participant by visiting judges, teachers from speech and drama departments of local colleges and universities.

    Putting textbook knowledge to a practical use, the senior drafting class is making floor plans of both the grade and high school to determine what fire prevention devices it needs.
    The floor plans will show all rooms, exits, corridors, stairways, and other necessary information.
    In fear of a fire like that in Our Lady of the Angels School in Chicago in which 95 lives were lost, all Detroit schools are to be protected by modern detection and prevention devices in compliance with a new safety code for school buildings. To accomplish this the floor plans are necessary. With them the school eventually can be completely furnished with equipment to insure safety for all students.
