Frosh Boost Enrollment; Curriculum Changes

Now the largest division in the school, occupying six classrooms, are the freshmen. These 257 ninth-graders outnumber the seniors by 16 per cent.

Back Again for Another Retreat, Father Hunt 'Wows' Audience

Fr. Langhals Directs Parish

"I really didn't want to come back. I knew I'd be repeating things and I didn't want to think of something new to say," says the Rev. Robert Hunt, C.PP.S., retreat master who this September returned to St. Anthony for his second consecutive year.

His casual manner and easy way of speaking make it rather hard to believe that last year's appearance here was his first official retreat.

Father Hunt admits that high school retreats are quite fatiguing but says he enj oys them more than any others. "Teenagers," he believes, "are more attentive, are more interested in religion and God and are perhaps a better and more intelligent people."

Ordained in May, 1945, at St. Charles Seminary, he was assigned to the Precious Blood Fathers' mission band just last year.

This year has found him

Seniors Begin Rehearsal "I mean that a murder is scheduled to take place in this hotel," is one of the lines being rehearsed for the senior class play, "Stranger in the Night." Last week the cast began practicing the comedy-mystery by Paul McCoy which will be staged during December. Leading roles went to Sharon Bracci, Carol Mobley, Chuck Shubnell, Al Korytkowski, and John Gloss. Mike Breston, Paula Notaran-gelo, Bart Fiumano, Julie Lapin-ski, Mary Oswald, Emilie Gaynor,

and Pat Makowski won the minor roles.

The play concerns two young girls who own a gift shop. In one of the gifts is supposedly hidden the name of someone who is to be murdered. They have to wait until night to search the gifts for they think that the murderer is watching them.

The whole play takes place in one day.

To keep the interest of all who tried out and everyone else who might have heard about the plot, the last pages of the play were removed from the cast's copies of the script.

auditoriums, and cafeterias for

people from all walk of life

"But talking in a gym is new to me," he confesses.

"In an auditorium the audience is right in front of you but in a gym you're surrounded. It makes you want to cower against a wall for protection!"

When asked the secret of his ability to talk without notes, Father confides that he does some preparing but that he feels talks are more effective when the speaker does not read them.

"What I say is sincere. I would

never say or promise anything

that I didn't mean," he says.

Father feels flattered to have been invited back next year, but his problems of trying not to repeat himself and thinking of new things to say will undoubtedly be still more complicated then.

Daigle Becomes Semifinalist Robert Daigle 217 advanced to a semifinalist position in the Na-tional Merit Scholarship test held last spring.

Along with 162 other high rank-ing seniors from the Detroit area, he will compete in a second scho-lastic test on December 3. Of the 10,000 semifinalists, about ten per cent usually qualify for available scholarships.

Although he feels that he has little chance of winning a scholar-ship, Bob nevertheless was honor-ed and encouraged on October 3 when fellow St. Anthony seniors observed their own "Daigle Day."

A pastor who is "too lazy to has come to take a vacation" has come to St. Anthony Parish. Since his ar-rival last June, the Rev. Henry

L a n g h a l s, C.PP.S., has seen to numer-eous repairs and additions in both high school and grade school.

Fr. Langhals A native of Ohio ordained at St. Charles Seminary in Carthagena, Fr. Langhals is in his twenty-third year in the priest-hood. His past assignments have taken him as far as Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Charlottesville, Virginia.

Being pastor at St. Joseph Church in Dayton, Ohio, for 11 years prior to his coming here has given him experience in coping with the problems of running a parish.

After only a few weeks of the school year had elapsed, Father commented that he had never seen better Mass participation and that school spirit here seems very strong.

More 'Daigles'?

Possible semifinalists in next year's Merit Scholarship com-petition will be taking a volunteer program of extra courses after school to prepare for the spring elimination.

Sixteen Added to Faculty

Eleven priests, one sister, and four lay teachers have joined the staff at St. Anthony.

The Precious Blood Fathers were assigned here for this school year to teach religion. Sister Mary Electa, whose homeroom is 115, instructs SAH students in English and Latin.

Miss Lillian Filarski, of 114, holds classes in American history and Latin. Freshman orientation and reading improvement are worked on by Mrs. Joan Stefan in 122.

At the other end of the first-floor corridor, Mr. Daniel Baril in 117 and Mr. Thomas Gibbons in 116 teach classes in English.

St. Anthony's religion instructors are Fathers George Blasick, Sante Reale, Robert Kurber, Gene Wilson, Gerald Mikosz, Richard DeCavitt, Philip Gilbert, Peter Chiodo, Gerald Ritzel, Paul Shaaf, and Frederick Falce.

Sister Mary Colman, who left SAH this fall, now teaches at Mount Mary College, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

when SAH's new lay teachers begin to pile on the assignments. The

are Mr. Baril, Miss Filarski, Mrs. Stefan, and Mr. Gibbons.

But frosh aren't the only things new this year at school. New courses such as Spanish, general math, and Chorus I have been added to the curriculum.

Spanish is open to all students but general math is limited to the freshmen. Only senior girls can take homemaking, a subject which had to be dropped last year.

The 82 frosh and sophomores composing Chorus I were accepted after "trying out" for S. Mary Carl, chora1 director. Future plans include taking part in the stage productions and other choral activities. Also, one will have had to belong to Chorus I to be eligible for Chorus II.

Arts and crafts, initiated last year, has been expanded to include an advanced course. This gives the first-year students an opportunity to progress and further display their talents.

Latin III was dropped because only 12 students enrolled in it for this year. Also discontinued was geography.

SAH Modernized

Improvements have been made not only in SAH curriculum but also in facilities.

New modern desks with formica tops have replaced the old wooden ones in 316. These smooth surfaces enable the students to write more clearly.

To improve the appearance of the basement and provide easier, less expensive upkeep, the floors of the arts and crafts, drafting, and chorus rooms and connecting corridors have been tiled.

The rest rooms have undergone extensive redecorating. This includes not only a new paint and plaster job but also the addition of cloth toweling and new mirrors.

A bright new gym floor has been laid and more shelves and cages were put into the locker rooms. The boys' locker room was ventilated and the gym speaker system rearranged.

An added convenience are the new paper, pencil, and ballpoint dispensers located on the second floor.

Elections Over

With a new year comes new books, a new homeroom, and, of course, new class officers.

This year's senior council includes President Al Kortykowski, Vice-President Gloria Moebs, Secretary Carol Mobley, and Treasurer Ed Kaiser.

Carol Sassin heads the junior officers with Lester Scotti, chief assistant. Recording the minutes is Rosie Bartos and keeping the bank account straight, Don Missant.

The sophomores elected Paul Fink, Mary Mayleben, Gail Pettke, and George Prosperi.

We're a-Feudin'

SCHOOL SPIRIT IS A WONDERFUL THING. It can help one school

do things that others can only dream of. And class distinctions play an important part in it. The Mardi Gras basketball tournament, and ticket drives would be colossal flop without the desire to put one division on top. But sometimes this partisanship can have disastrous effects. As Coach Tom Paonessa says, St. Anthony football players should be neither seniors nor juniors but rather students of SAH fighting on her team. Any other attitude would result in a totally incompetent football squad. The same is true of any other school organization. A school torn by sectionalism is a pitiful spectacle.

No 'Catholic' Vote

MILLIONS OF WORDS have been written by thousands of people

about the religious issue in the current presidential campaign. In general, Catholics feel they are getting a pretty raw deal, and as a result some are more determined than before to vote for Kennedy only because he is a Catholic, in order to compensate for those who will vote against him simply for this reason. Let's give that kind of Catholic an A in algebra but an F in civics. Catholics who display this attitude are worse bigots than the others, the anti-Catholic ones, whom they most severely denounce. They are doing more harm than the other bigots by voting in a Catholic bloc and thereby increasing the gap of misunderstanding which needs to be bridged before the people of the U. S. can have an effective and mature political system.

Only a Symbol

THOSE OF US who have class rings or are looking forward to getting

them know that a band of gold set with a red stone doesn't have too much material value. Why then do graduating classes set such stock in them? Their class ring is a symbol of the completion of four years of high school. But it also reflects the honor of their particular school and its standards. The ruby isn't a red stoplight for us, but a reflector of four years of work and all the ties of friendship that may be binding for years to come. For all of us it is a symbol of the fun that makes a high school career so wonderful.

Are We Too 'Open-Minded'? In our country today there exists a paradox. It's election year and Republicans and Democrats are preaching to the nation the merits of their candidates. Undoubtedly Richard Nixon and John Kennedy are both fine men The difference between them is one of policies, and policies are politics! But too many of today's Americans associate politics with words such as corruption, pork-barrelling, ineffeciency, log-rolling, graft, etc. And as for politicians, "They're a bunch of dirty crooks." Yet Richard Nixon and John Kennedy are the nation's two most successful politicians. Both have succeeded in getting their platforms adopted despite the opposition by the conservative GOPs and the reactionary Southerners in their respective parties. This is one sign of a successful politician and an effective president. But, "politicians are a bunch of dirty crooks ! " Too many people say they are

too "open-minded" to support a

political party. "Vote for the

man, not the party," is their

slogan. They fail to realize that

the best way to know a man is by

his party. His party and his

policies show what he will do

while in office.

Political parties are the result of controversy over important policies of government. The Republican and Democratic partiesare the two remaining sounding-houses of

SAH'ers Talk About Retreat Retreat in the eyes of the average teen represents two or three days of complete boredom relieved only by the consolation of no homework. But the "worm has turned" at SAH in favor of a certain retreat master, name1y Father Robert Hunt, C.PP.S. The general impression, voiced by Sister M. Electa 115, is that Fr. Hunt is a dynamic speaker with a deep understanding of the teenage group. "He proved to us that religion needn't be handled with such somber tones in order to be put across," agree Helen McInnis 112 and Pete Fuciarelli 116. "His casual attitude and sincerity were encouraging and certainly cleared up a lot of things," comment Matt Vocino 115 and Lorraine Minne 218. To hold the interest of so many people for three consecutive days is a feat, but Fr. Hunt came through admirably. "I was amazed at the attitude of the students," states Sister M. Gilbertine. "They kept silence to church even after the last conference! " Father had so gained the favor of the students that at the pep rally that day he received a standing ovation. "We hope he can come back again next year," comments Joe Jaster 214, speaking for the junior class. "He seemed to make spirituality a part of everyone."

popular dissent. Some American people claim that their joining a political party isn't going to make that much difference. But by joining a party and supporting its candidates one has a voice in a republican forum, in deciding for or against a candidate or his platform. If a convention deviates from the party's policies in its choice of platform or candidates, that convention can be repudated at the polls by its party members. Straight-ticket voting is another practice deplored by many Americans. However, we here in Michigan have a grim reminder of the dangers of splitting ticket. A Republican Senate committed to a four-cent sales tax and a Democratic

House and executive branch determined on a four per cent income tax have made the Michigan financial dilemma a national spectacle. The fault is not with the

legislators for not compromising,

for to compromise on this issue

would be betraying the voters

who voted for them partly

because of their stand on this

issue. The fault, if any there be, is

with the voters for not electing a

clear-cut majority with a

governor from the majority

party, either Republican or

Democratic.

It is the civic - if not moral - duty of everyone of us to join a political party and support its candidates.

TEAM SMALLER THAN EVER

By Mike Hayden

A few weeks ago, at the Student Council meeting held in auditorium, Leon Noel said, "Our team has only 25 guys. This by far the smallest team St. Tony has had in some time." Judging from our past football glories and the present athletic situation, I inclined to consider Leon's words. We, the non-football playing factor, stand chastened. cord means that the school coach will be hung in effigy. At SAH, we non-football players are the ones who shall be hung. and the coach may personally hold my rope. Don't laugh. The players will probably hold yours. During the summer certain people slaved, literally slaved, over the desks in our classrooms. Therefore I move we keep our seats on the seats and our feet on the floor. I make this motion mostly because I was faced with t h e possibility of refinishing them myself next summer. Such a repelling thought completely cured me of this certain misdemeanor. When we came back to school

this fall we found a new piece of

automation had been added. The

pen and paper machines on the

second floor interest me greatly,

and it's a big help to be able to

buy more supplies in this way.

But, like all good things, they

have their drawbacks.

You have to have an engineering degree to work them. I lost twenty cents myself. Just for us Sr. Gilbertine explained their operation; so we won't be losing any more money. But still, twenty cents is twenty cents. It seems this school has a

Library "Takes All Kinds," Says Sister Regina A school library, sometimes considered a dull place, can bring a person into contact with some fascinating people. So claims Sister M. Regina, SAH librarian, as she oversees visitors to her third-floor corner room. Not the least interesting customers are the freshmen. "Is this the library?" they say, looking at the shelves full of books.

Seniors Hold Car Wash

Senior football players and cheerleaders industriously washed cars on the school parking lot for the benefit of the SAH athletic fund on Saturday, October 8. Beginning at 9 a. m., they worked until 3 p. m., when profits were counted and it was found that 62 dollars could be added to the fund. Lettermen's club president Al Korytkowski had only one com-plaint: "We quit too early. Some people came after we left." Athletic director Fr. William Griglak vigorously commended the athletes' action. "We need more of this sort of spirit," he said.

Or they may ask, "Do you have any books by Alfred E. Neumann?" a question which Sister unsuspectingly has answered by saying that she will check the card catalogue. However, the most adventurous

part of a librarian's life is inside

the books with which she deals.

This year Sister Regina sponsors

an approach which will appeal to

the intellectual student, offering a

St. Thomas More certificate to

anyone reading more than the

required ten books in the school

term.

She recommends "The Seven Storey Mountain," "The Thread That Runs so True," "My Hay Ain't In," and "You'd Better Come Quietly" as some of her most popular books. Sometimes, too, students con-

fuse the book titles. "Prose and

Pottery" is the literature text-

book used at SAH, some say, and

the story of Elizabeth Adams' life

has been called "Dam

Sympathy."

Currently Sister is campaigning for used copies of magazines, some of which she thinks might increase the library's patronage. But she insists that she will not accept any written by Alfred E. Neumann.

Cafeteria Kitchen Remodeled; Staff Works Out New Menus Each new school year brings about various changes in and about the "old alma mater." One of such changes has occurred down in the renovated cafeteria kitchen where five women work diligently to provide the students with a good hot lunch. Along with other new improvements at St. Anthony, the kitchen has had a change of face. A new oven and stainless steel sink have

been added, and a garbage disposal, electric potato peeler, and telephone. Like other basement rooms, the kitchen recently has been tiled. The cafeteria staff, which is familiar to most SAHers by face only, consists of Mrs. Theresa Jarzombek, Mrs. Irene Happy, Mrs. Rita Rich, Mrs. Catherine Kady, and Mrs. Theresa Binsfeld. "Cooking meals for about 350

- McCarthy OVER 50 LBS. of meat passed through these hands seems easy work

to an unidentified helper, Mrs. Happy, Mrs. Kady, Mrs. Rich, and

Mrs. Jarzombek.

is quite a chore," remarks Mrs. Kady. "For 'sloppy joes' alone we use 50 lbs. of meat." Work starts in the kitchen

around 7 a. m. when the clatter of

pots and pans can be heard all

through the deserted halls.

"We're hoping to have at least one different menu a week this year," comments Mrs. Jarzombek. "We've already had chicken, salmon patties, and baked ham and we're hoping to use roast beef, chicken a la king, and barbecued meat balls." Hot dogs on Mondays have long since been a standard at St. Anthony's and may well continue to be so. "We can't possibly get the meat in early enough for a different meal," explains Mrs. Rich, "because we have to start cooking by 7:30 and our butcher doesn't come until later on." She goes on to explain that the

meat would spoil if it were left in

the refrigerator over the weekend

and wouldn't thaw in time for

cooking if it were frozen.

The ladies follow certain recipes, but home cooking has been their only training.

Faculty's Summer: Study, Travel Summer vacation for almost half of our faculty was not much different from summer vacations for some of our students - summer school. However, in most cases the

faculty and students went to summer school for different reasons. S. M. Lauren, S. M. Joel, and S. M. Bettina attended school at the University of Detroit and S. M.

Organizations See Change in Policies Several St. Anthony clubs are rejuvenating their policies with new approaches to their activities. At times this is the result of workshops attended by their members and sometimes it is because of suggestions from SAH students themselves. At the national Catholic Student Mission Crusade convention at Notre Dame University, St. Anthony mission president Bart Fiumano 316 came in contact with the Rev. Edward King, CSMC founder, who pointed out the importance of the lay person in the salvation of the world. "It is lay people who must fight secularism and Communism," said Fr. King. While CSMC members were in Indiana, Student Council officers went to the University of Michigan for a workshop. "Besides having a good time and meeting a lot of new and interesting people, we learned a great deal about student government," comments SC vice-president Marianne Zimmerman 217. At present the Future Teachers' Club is experimenting with a dual set of officers who will al-

ternate each semester. Co-presidents Pat Sczempek 215 and Betty Buroz 217 are striving for better organization and fulfillment of the club's purposes this year.

Anyone notice the new looks and organization in the school library this year? S. M. Regina spent her summer cataloging and arranging the total of over 7,780 books in our library. And some faculty members had time to do some traveling. Miss Lillian Filarski roamed

Texas this summer, including in

her trip a visit to the scene of the

Alamo. She also spent six weeks

at summer school.

Mr. Thomas Paonessa made a trip to the Wisconsin high school from which he graduated, where a celebration -for the school's coach, who has been there for 49 years, took place. Bringing the summer to an end was the convention held at Mequon, Wisconsin, titled "The Dynamics of Personality Development," which was attended by almost all of the SAH nuns.

Sea Draws Senior Boy to Great Lakes Duty

How many SAHers can credit themselves with a term of active duty on a submarine in Lake Michigan? There is one senior who can. Ralph Chase 215, a member of the U. S. Naval Reserve since January, 1959, has had such an experience. Having been in "boot camp" for two weeks during the sum-mer of that year for accelerated training, which ordinarily takes nine weeks, Ralph comments that military life is "rather routine." "We get up at 4:30 a. m., clean the barracks, and eat. Later on in the day we have rifle drill and classes in the mechanics of rifles, atomic warfare, and gas warfare. As part of the gas warfare, we have to go through a chamber filled with tear-gas." This past summer Ralph went up to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he boarded his ship, the U. S. S. Portage 902, a submarine-chaser. For two weeks, life aboard the U. S. S. Portage was filled with "swabbing the decks" and gunnery practice. At the end of the second week, Ralph was transferred to the U.S.S. Sable-fish 303. For two days he had true to life practice in anti-sub-marine tactics, attacking surface ships, mock torpedo shootings, and depth charges. On September 27, as a part of Division 990 (L), Ralph received from the Ninth Naval District awards for attendance, military intelligence and 1eadership.

Among the awards presented were the Michigan state flag and plaque, the VFW flag, and six official documents. Secretary James M. Hare presided at the presentation. Next summer Ralph will begin two years of active duty. He intends to apply for the position of petty officer.

Teutons Pile Up 0-5 Record; Face St. Pat, Servite Next

Saturday night's defeat by Shrine, 19-0, left St. Anthony's Teutons with a 0-5 record scored in stiff competition with last year's top teams of both east and

west side divisions. Games with St. Patrick of Wyandotte and Servite remain on their schedule.

Director Enjoys Job

"I like it," says Father William Griglak, C.PP.S., after the seven months at his job as SAH athletic director. Most of the work done in the gymnasium this past summer done by Father himself. "I could have gone golfing," he muses, sitting back in his

small office connected with the snack bar. His reason for improving the gym was to make it a good-looking, convenient place where students would like to come. About the Teutons' 0-5 football record Father says, "There is much more behind SAH losses than meets the eye." He thinks the present situation

in high school sports is ridiculous.

"Some Catholic schools have so

overemphasized sports that laws

either by the parochial school or

state offices to protect sports have

been totally ignored."

That sports are a means of teaching manliness and sportsmanship to the high school athletes is his opinion. "Here we have one of the finest coaching staffs, which tries to teach something besides being a winner." Father finds this year's student

body very interested and

cooperative, and explains that

prices for activities in the gym

have been raised in order to get

better caliber functions for the

students.

With Fr. Griglak as SAH athletic director, the school's sports program seems destined to have one long, continual boost.

Jayvees 1-1 in League

Teuton jayvees have won one scrimmage and lost one. They have also dropped their first regular league game. The scrimmages were against St. Joseph 30-6 and De La Salle 0-12. St. Paul defeated the Jaycees 30-13 in league play. But the team record stands 1-1 because St. Catherine forfeited to

Fr. William Griglak, SAH athletic

director. Parochial Teams Reshuffled

The top four teams of both east and west side first divisions have been reorganized into a separate division in this year's parochial football league. Along with St. Ambrose, St. Catherine, and Servite, the Teutons play against west side teams from Shrine, St. Mary of Redford, Holy Redeemer, and St. Patrick of Wyandotte. Remaining teams from the two divisions were put into a second group which, although still considered first division, will not have a chance at the city championship. Each year there will be a similar exchange of teams, the bottom four teams in the new division moving down and the top four teams in the other moving up. In this way it is hoped that every team will have a fair chance at city championship. Although St. Anthony students have mixed feelings about the changes made, some other schools are very satisfied with them.

Defending city champions St. Ambrose dealt the first blow by defeating St. Anthony 19-7 in the season opener. The Teutons had an early lead in the game after Lester Scotti scored in the first quarter. But two St. Ambrose drives across the goal line late in the third quarter gave them the winning margin. St. Catherine, in a close and thrilling game, gave SAH its second defeat. At the half the Teutons were behind 7-6 after Scotti had scored and the extra point was missed. A td by Jim Scharl in the fourth quarter seemed to clinch the game, but St. Catherine's Dave Duncan plunged over the goal 12 seconds before the final whistle to end the game 14-12. St. Anthony bowed to St. Mary of Redford 13-6, its only td being made by Scharl. West side's Holy Redeemer de-feated the Teutons by the same score with Fred Korytkowski scoring in the second quarter.

Athletic Club Advances

To keep the school sports program going, Fr. William Griglak, athletic director, has re-shaped the St. Anthony athletic association. Annual operating costs of approximately $13,000 are far above the $3,000 allotted Father through student athletic fees. "Eventually the club will stand on its own, but it will take hard work to keep it going," he states. This summer the new association went into high gear in a drive for new members. Many SAH parents cooperated by selling chances on the Lions' season passes for the raffle which is annually held at the Old Timers' party. Some of the dads volunteered their services in chaperoning the football games and dances. The club is also sponsoring many other activities for SAH at sock - hops.

Let's Yell Louder!

SO FAR WE'VE HAD good turnouts at the games, but who would

know it? Let's show the team and our opponents how many of us are in the stands by making a little NOISE. Add some spirit to the game by real cheering for our team. To add more zip to the cheering, how about reorganization of the Pep Club? Even though the opposition seems strong, we can overcome the odds by applying the motto of the Sea-Bees: "The difficult we do at once; the impossible takes time." More cheering when we're not scoring a touchdown or a basket might help us to do the impossible - and a rejuvenated Pep Club might, too.

IN THE LAST MINUTES of the Redform game, Ralph Koch clears

the field for Fred Korytkowski's yardage gain.

Homecoming Opponent Beaten Six Times

Since St. Anthony began playing Servite, eight years ago, it has never lost to them. Although the Teutons have been tied twice, they have tumbled the Panthers six times. Servite will oppose St. Anthony this year on October 29 in the homecoming game at De La Salle field. In their first four games played this season Servite has a 3-1 record.

The Panthers defeated St. Catherine 13-12 and then fell to the St. Ambrose Cavaliers 20-6. They won their last two games 13-6 against St. Patrick of Wyandotte and Shrine. Outstanding Servite players this season are Quarterback Bill Kemp and End Frank Semelsburger. SAH Teutons will be trying to uphold their record against Servite for one more year.

them. The Teutons' varsity track coach, Lou Miramonti, is training the junior varsity football team. Mr. Miramonti, who played defensive halfback for St. Joe's in high school, has had three years of a physical education major at the University of Detroit.

Bowling Grows Popular as National Sport

Since 1940 Bowling alleys existed in the in popularity at an outstanding speed and today it is recognized as one of the fastest-growing sports in America. Of the coun-try's 15,000,000 bowlers, men are not the majority. There are equal numbers of women and children participating in this new family game. How new the sport is, is hard to decide. Authorities can trace it back 1,000 to 1,500 years in Italy. Though it was not exactly as we know it today, many of the same principles were applied.

Bowling alleys existed in the days before Charlemagne and were found in England during the Elizabethan era. It seems, however, that Edward III had to curb the game because his subjects neglected their archery for it. Because perfection is so difficult to attain in it, it has become a prominent sport. The number of perfect games - twelve successive strikes giving a score of 300 - is very few. As in all sports, proper

equipment is necessary. But

regulation shoes are not always

desired, and any pair of

comfortable shoes with rubber

soles and heels will do.

Undoubtedly everyone has seen cartoons of bowlers rolling down the alley with their fingers still in the ball. Funny though they may seem, they only prove the importance of using a ball which fits the bowler's hand properly. It is much more difficult to obtain uniformity, accuracy, and consistency if the holes in the ball are too small or too large. Besides providing exercise,

bowling can also be very relaxing

if played correctly. The bowler

should try at all times to relax

and concentrate on his aim and

control. It is not necessary to send

the ball down the alley at a great

speed or to grip the ball so tightly

while delivering that one has a

difficult time releasing his hand.

Bowling is one game where everyone has a chance. It is up to the individual to develop his own style - whatever is most natural to him. The list of perfectionists in this sport is very short.
