Heidelberg will take on a "new look" as "The Student Prince," presented by the St. Anthony Mixed Chorus and directed by Sister Mary Carl, will take a bow April 30, May 1, and May 8.
Stars Denise Abood 217 and Ed Jagoda 217 will help dramatize this episode in the life of Prince Karl Franz.

The Prince, sent by his grandfather to familiarize himself with his people, is studying in Heidelberg for a year. While there, he meets Kathy, the inn-keeper's niece, and the pair fall deeply in love.
    A problem poses itself because the young man is supposed to marry a princess chosen by the king.
    Music carries out the theme of this Sigmund Romberg operetta. "Deep In My Heart," "Serenade," and "Drink, Drink, Drink" head the musical score.
    The cast of charactes include: Lutz, the innkeeper (Teddy Dempz 316), Dr. Enzel, the Prince's companion (Ken Kulinski 216), and Captain Tarnitz (Mike Hayden 116).
    Double casting because of the scarcity of female roles finds both Carol Mobley 316 and Judy Dombrowski 314 portraying the Princess Margaret. Other parts are also double cast.
    As a prelude to the operetta the Girls Glee Club and the Freshman Glee Club will sing selected pieces.

Traveling by bus, the girls will stay at the Knights-Tower Hotel.

Eighteen SAH science students took home ribbons from the third annual Metropolitan Detroit Science Fair, sponsored by the Detroit News and the Engineering Society of Detroit last week.

    The Veterans Memorial Building will take on a "Misty" aura when the annual Junior-Senior Prom is held on Friday, May 6.
    Reigning as the 1960 royal couple are King Vincent Sorgi 219 and his date, Marianne Zimmerman 315. Adding to the enjoyment will be music by Don Genord, who also played for last year's prom.
    Benediction will precede the event at 7:45 p.m., followed by a visit to the St. Anthony Sisters.
    Bids in soft green will carry out the "Misty" theme.

FTA Hold
Career Talks

    Guest speakers Mrs. Helen Morrow Rice, Mr. Henry Toenjes, and Mr. Donald Dueweke listed the advantages and problems of the different phases of the teaching profession at the FTA Career Day Assembly, April 6.
    The program was planned to give Future Teachers a better understanding of what the career entails.
    Representing Coleman School for mentqllv handicapped children, Mrs. Rice emphasized the reward of this phase of education.
    Mr. Dueweke, s. teacher at St. Anthony Elementary School, spoke on "The Children's World — Grade School," listing the various means of engaging children's attention.
    Future Teachers used pamphlets, books, and posters to publicize the work and requirements of a good teacher and to arouse interest in teaching as a career.

    Red ribbons of honorable mention went to Physics Students Terry Brusoe 218, Richard Lecuyer 217, Greg Sobczak 218 and Ralph Machesky 216.
    The top winners of the fair are Seniors John Kora, Redford Union High School, for his solving of a rare mathematical equation and Jim Colando, Pontiac Central High School, for his development of an atomic test.
    Forty-five out of the top 90 winners were from Catholic schools.
    There were 1,828 entries carefully screened from 250 school fairs. The projects were judged by 120 judges from top schools, industrial companies, and research departments of the city.
    These fields in which they competed were: biology, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, physics, physiography, and general science.
    The projects of Dennis Meloche 314, Joanne Paval 315, Delphine Warehall 214, Bob Hazzard 316, Mary Jane Stibich 215, Judy Pesto 215, Francis Morin 314, Marianne Zimmerman 315, Mary Ann Wagner 217, Fred Ream 118. Carol Setia 314, Joseph Hill 119. David Kuhr 113, and Michael Zafarana 117 received white ribbons.

Senior Class President Linda Lennert 215 has won a $650 scholarship grant from the Michigan Elks Association, ranking second in the state-wide contest.

Linda impressed judges with the "A" average she has maintained for four years and with her outstanding participation in several varied activities.
President of her class for two successive years, captain of the basketball team with four years of experience to back her, Linda also

was cast in the senior class play and was copy editor of the memory book.
    Linda plans to use her grant for the two-year course in secretarial science offered by the University of Detroit.
    U. of D. is her choice because, as she puts it, "I'd like to make my dad's and brother's alma mater mine."
    Linda learned of the Elk scholarship offer from a good friend who is studying in the Marist seminary.
    Knowing of her hope to get a scholarship, he mailed Linda an application and advised her to try for it.
    Besides filling out the four-page application, she was required to write a 300-word autobiography and to submit two letters of recommendation along with a transcript of her grades to the judges.
    "Half of my excitement over winning the grant came from the pleasure my parents felt," Linda comments.

When SAHers registered for the '60-'61 school year on Friday, April 8, they found that requirements for the elective subjects had tightened.

SAHers unite with Catholics throughout the world to take what is to them a new part in an old story.
In response to the request of Archbishop John Dearden, St. Anthony has incorporated a fuller

participation in the celebration of Mass.
    Under the direction of the Rev. Leo Matusicky, C.PP.S., St. Anthony students began singing English hymns and reciting simple responses this Lent. Slowly building up, Father plans complete participation including Entrance, Offertory, Communion, and Recessional hymns.
    "I marvel at the wonderful enthusiasm," commented Father, who leads the practice sessions of both upper and lower classmen.
    The origination of public participation was a letter from the Holy Father in September, 1959, directing the chanting and responses at high and low Masses.
    Archbishop Dearden and the Detroit Liturgical Commission have guided parishes toward uniform practice. Mass schedules throughout the archdiocese have been altered for further coordination.
    Microphones have been installed on the altar, so that the congregation can easily hear the prayers of the priest.
    The aim is to establish a profound understanding of the Mass.

    Entrants into math, science, and secretarial courses and those who wished to continue in them found there were added stipulations for admission.
    Algebra's prerequisite is a successful scoring in a math aptitude test. For Geometry applicants, a test in reasoning is given.
    Advanced algebra requires a "B" average in the first two years of math. In order to enter physics a "B" average for the three years of math has to be attained.
    In the field of science, students must have an overall "B" average to qualify for chemistry. Sophomores admitted into biology must have a general average of "B" as freshmen.
    An aptitude test was administered to future shorthand students. A speed of 80 words per minute has to be attained before May 25 by those wishing to continue in Shorthand II. Its twin subject, Typing II, requires 40 wpm by the same date.
    To continue in Latin for the next year, a "B" average in the previous two semesters is necessary. A new language, Spanish, is being offered.
    The Drafting I requirement is a "C" average in geometry and a "C" in the first year qualifies one to take Drafting II.

Latin Classes
Try Skill

    In an attempt to match their excellent rating of last year, first through fourth year Latin stud- ents tested their skill in the annual APSL exam, administered on Wednesday, April 6.
    The 50-minute exam, initiated last year through the efforts of S. M. Joel and the Latin IV Club, is prepared by the Auxilium Latinum, a magazine prepared for students by the National Association for the Promotion of the Study of Latin.
    Students who collect 115 points or more of the maximum 120 score are awarded gold and silver medal-pins and certificates.
    When three such medal-pins are won by students in a school in any year, or cumulatively over a period of years, that school is then also awarded the special APSL Latin trophy.
    Last year, Betty Malinich 216 scored 115 points in the exam and was recognized with a pin. Two other such scores this year would mean a trophy for SAH.
    Students who accumulate 90 or more points will receive certificates so designating.

Floppy-eared bunnies, colored eggs, blossoming lilies, and spring chapeaux—collectively, these spell Easter. But, they make up only one word in the sentence. Today's modern world often overrates the material symbols, while the true meaning of Easter becomes faded.
Instead, we hope St. Anthony students will use these mediums to help celebrate the joyous, blessed feast for Christ. Have a happy Easter!
