® Junior News
Well, the juniors are proved
and happy . . . that is most oi
them are. We got our report
cards Wednesday and most of
die grades were pretty good. Of
course, there is room for im-
provement.
We’re proud to say that Er-
lene Pavlicek and Margaret
Sofka have made the honor roll.
Congratulations, girls! Of
course, George Bujnoch has as
I nigh an average as Erlene Pav-
| licek and missed being on the
I honor roll because of his typ-
ing grade. The typing goal for
an A grade is pretty hard to
achieve. With a B typing grade,
George still managed a very
nigh general average. Congra-
tulations! There are also three
other juniors who have averages
of ninety or more. They are
Freddie Patek, Betty Machicek
and Evelyn Janak. That makes
six Juniors in the ninety or
above average.
One of our projects this year
is to give to the missions. Judy
Pohler is the Chairman of the
Spiritual Committee which
takes care of these collections.
So far we have helped mission-
aries in Guatemala, Father Kel-
xey and his orphan boys, Fa-
ther Keller and the Christopher
Movement, and the Oblate Fa-
thers in San Antonio. Judy also
nas other jobs. Every day she
puts up a “slogan” poster for
us to consider and later in the
day explain how it can in-
fluence us to become* better.
She takes them from a “Char-
acter Calendar” which has
timely hints and advice for us
to follow in order to become
teenagers that our parents,
teachers, and neighbors will be
proud of. We hope to succeed
soon. Judy reported a recita-
tion of over seven hundred
rosaries since we began the
Crusade in October. We think
Judy is a good Chairman.
Our other Chairmen are also
doing good work. Betty Machi-
cek and her committee do a big
job decorating the room and
seeing to it that it is kept clean.
Erlene Pavlicek is devising
vays of raising money for the
Junior-Senior Prom. Brenda
Sassin worked exceptionally
aard to make our dance a suc-
cess.
As I said above, the typing
goal is hard to achieve, but
Margaret Sofka thinks it’s fun
and easy to do as enjoying a
soda-pop. She must know the
secret to speed performance.
She is doing sixty-five words
a minute for speed writing and
fifty words a minute for control
vriting. Good going, Margaret.
You’re going to be a wonderful
secretary some day. Congratu-
lations!
