were fashioned with a box pleat

They carried one large yellow

Glenn Coldeway was awarded
first place for the best essay,
“RELIGIOUS VOCATION . . .
The Most Rewarding of
Careers,” submitted from St.
Ludmila’s Academy in the An-
nual Essay Contest sponsored
by the Archdiocesan Serra Club.
The text of Glenn’s essay fol-
lows:
“RELIGIOUS VOCATION . . .
The Most Rewarding of
Careers.”
In this fast moving world few
people take into consideration
what a religious vocation has
in store for them. Very few can
feature what a feeling of satis-
faction it must be to be called
by God to serve Him in the
world through a religious voca-
tion. There are many ways in
which to serve God, but the
three main ways are by becom-
ing a priest, a sister, or a bro-
ther.
One of the most needed forms
of the religious vocation is the
priesthood. A priest is truly an-
other Christ. He performs the
works of the Church by admin-
istering the sacraments, by of-
fering the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass, and by preaching the
word of God. During the Mass
he performs the miraculous act
of changing bread and wine into
the Body and Blood of Jesus
Christ. J
A woman may enter a reli-
gious career by joining an or-
der of sisters. A sister is a
woman who gives up worldly
things and enters a religious
community. Her jobs vary from
teaching to caring for the sick.
A sister takes the vows of
poverty, chastity, and obedience.
The third main form of the
religious vocation is the bro-
therhood. A brother is an un-
married man who gives up
earthly things for the love of
God. He takes the vows of pov-
erty, chastity, and obedience. He
teaches the word of God, as the
priest, but does not have the
power to offer the Holy Mass.
You may also join the reli-
gious vocation by becoming a
monk or missionary. It matters
not which form of the religious
vocation you choose, it is a re-
warding career because by
serving God in this manner, you
show your great love for Him.

was best man. Groomsmen were
Billy Stluka of Port Lavaca,
John Edgar of Victoria, Lloyd
and Ronnie Holz and Conrad
Jochen, all of Schulenburg.
Witnesses were Carlton
Koenning of San Antonio and
Harold Rietz of Houston.
Ushers were Willie Stluka of
Port Lavaca, Victor Mach of
Houston, Clarence Friedrich of
Schulenburg and Kermit Rasch-
ke of Austin.
The bridegroom and his at-
tendants were all attired in
black tuxedoes with yellow
rosebud boutonnieres.
For the occasion the mothers
of the bridal couple wore iden-
tical true blue two piece silk
shantung suits with matching
hats and black accessories and
corsages of yellow rosebuds.
A wedding reception, supper
and dance at Legion Hall in
Flatonia followed the nuptials.
The bride’s table, laid with
white lace, held the three-tiered
wedding confection decorated
with yellow roses, green leaves
and small bells and topped with
a miniature bride and bride-
groom. A floral arrangement of
white gladioli and a silver can-
delabra completed the table
decor. Mrs. Willie Stluka and
Mrs. Carlton Koenning, both
sisters of the bride, served the
cake.
The lace-clad registration
table, which was presided over
by Joyce Barta of Houston, held
the bride’s book and a rice bag
tree.
For a wedding trip to New
Mexico, Colorado, Kansas and
Oklahoma, the bride wore a
navy and white three piece silk
suit with white accessories and
a white orchid corsage.
The couple is at home at
804% E. Brazos in Victoria,
where the bridegroom is em-
ployed at the Great Texas Lum-
ber Co.

a refrigerator manages to hold

KJZT MEETS—

on his Johnson grass farm on
Rt. 3, Shiner apparently doesn’t
take prize fighting too seriously,
his letter this week indicates.
Dear editar:
While I don’t understand

I get it is, if
Clay had hit
Liston hard
enough the
fight fans
would h a v e
been satisfied,
whether the
fight lasted one
minute or thir-
ty, but a gentle tap about like
you’d use to get a cat off the
dining table if you allow cats
in the house makes everybody
unhappy and feeling cheated,
still the thing about the whole
affair is the clamor for an
vestigation.
It’s a fact, fight fans are
manding that the fight be
vestigated, and several Wash-
ington officials have risen to
the call.
What they say is, here Liston
and Clay have fought twice, for
a total of about four minutes,
and the fans have paid out over
eight million dollars to see it,
either first-hand or on closed-
circuit television, and they are
tired of getting cheated and
Congress ought to do something
about it.
This is what I don’t under-
stand. If the fans are convinced
the fights are fakes, why trou-
ble Congress to pass a law to
keep them from wasting their
money? Why don’t they just
stay away? Why don’t they al-
low nature to take its course?
When a football team loses nine
games in a row, how many fans
show up for the tenth one?
I tell you, when Congress
takes on the job of passing laws
to keep the public from wasting
its money on phony entertain-
ment, it’ll be tied up from now
on. In fact, if it succeeded, it’d
wreck television.
