DEDICATION

BROTHER ALEXANDER. C.F.X.
Brother Alexander has taught at Good Counsel since our school opened six years ago. Since then, besides teaching, he has worked extensively as a popular guidance counselor, coached the very success ful Debate Club for many years, chosen and counseled the “ It's Academic” Teams, and worked closely with the newspaper and yearbook staffs, the SAC Cultural Committees and the Drama Club. However, the quantity of Brother’s interests and achievements is not the reason he has gained such universal respect, nor the reason we chose to dedicate this yearbook to him. Brother has crossed the line that transforms his work into a vocation, his interests into our interests, and his classes into the singular experiences that only learning can becom e. He has taught far more than subject matter, for somehow his classes develop into what can only be inadequately called "work shops on living.”
It is here, in these “workshops” that Brother teaches the lessons that w ill really
prove valuable to us students— intellectual and moral individualism, aesthetic appreciation, the cour age of our convictions and jo ie de vivre. For these reasons, the Falcon staff, on behalf of the entire student body, dedicates the 1966 Falcon to Brother Alexander with the hope that it can in some sm all way express our gratitude and respect.

ADMINISTRATION
PRINCIPAL - BROTHER MARCUS, C.F.X. Quiet efficiency has been the keynote of Brother Marcus’ administration. In the past two years, Brother has fostered a trend toward deeper student involvement in their school life . As one student put it, “ The de-emphasis of faculty control has given me a greater feeling of responsibility to the school.”
These changes include such
varied things as voluntary attendance at first Friday Mass, the cultural art exhibits, daily public address announce ments by SAC officers, and so on. This trend has given more responsibility to the student body while relieving the administration of much tedious work. The easiest course to take in running the school would be a m e chanical doling out of education. But, in an effort to match responsi bility with maturity, Brother has encouraged the students to lead and control their own growth. Only in the issues that require it does he come to the fore and assert his authority. By his judicious use o f control and restraint, he has built up in the students a feeling of responsibility and self-confidence to prepare them for later life.

SENIOR PERSPECTIVE
With traditional humility, past Senior classes have retired from the Good Counsel scene steeped in self-esteem , wallowing in self-praise, and convinced that a ll future school growth w ill term inate with their departure. Despite the loss of her leaders, the school still manages to muster a degree of com posure, struggles through another year, and for some inexplicable reason generates another litter of supermen. ancy.
At this point, even the most callous observer recognizes a discrep
We, the class of '66 do perceive greatness; we do see a need for praise, a need for an object to esteem - Good Counsel itself. Certainly there are successful classes, but their achievements reside strictly in their ability to employ the freedom and responsi bility imparted to them. Perhaps the saying above the equipment room is correct: ‘‘We supply everything but the guts.” But the class of ’ 66 did not remain passive during its four year residency. We cam e at a unique period in the history of the school, a period providing unique opportunities and distinct challenges. We grasped these opportunities and m et these challenges - per haps worse, perhaps better, than our predecessors. Sure, we ‘ ‘studied, swelled National Honor Society ranks, staffed clubs, supported teams, and gave our tim e and energy when it was needed.”
This was expected.
The real challenge lay in building upon established foundations, constructing new ones, and involving the entire student body in our activities. In this respect, we humbly present our record: This year SAC moved closer to its goal of complete organization. Such innovations as parliamentary procedure, an evaluation com m ittee, publicity chairman, press con ferences and an expanded Talon contributed toward this goal. Other improvements in cluded the film festival, a collection of “ cultural” reproductions, and a new approach to assemblies clim axed by an athletic assembly pitting Thud and Stud against Beauty and the Beast.
New activities and projects were initiated such as a wrestling team , folk
singing club, Faculty Buffet, Athlete’s Foot dance, a Donkey Basketball gam e, a pro posed V iet Nam Teach-In, a Rock ’n Roll Show, drinking mugs, and a Hootenanny. A 7th ranked football team, coupled with the school's most organized Booster Club, trig gered the greatest upsurge of spirit in the history of Good Counsel. In this state we leave Good Counsel. We take no responsibility for the productivity of 1966:
we issue no challenges to future classes to equal our achievements - hope
fully they w ill surpass them. We can only hope that in some way Good Counsel is better as a result of our efforts.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES COUNCIL
The SAC Executive C om m ittee:
from left to right— (SEATED) Tim Murray, V ice Pres.; A1 C hecchi, President;
Charlie Maier, Treasurer; (STANDING) B ill Harrison, Booster Club President; Fred McChesney, Publicity Chair man; Norman Paulhus, Cultural Chairman; Chris Fox, Secretary; A1 Serafino, A thletic Chairman; Andy Pecoraro, Historian, Tim Conroy, Social Chairman; Dave Draper, Religious Chairman. The 1966 Student A ctivities Council, for the first year in Good Counsel’s history, faced the task of running an already-mature organization.
Thus, SAC faced a two-pronged task— to m aintain financial independence
and to increase efficiency within its established framework. Finances, of course, involved a great deal of SAC business and activities. However, more than any other year, SAC succeeded in making its money-raising projects ventures which generated great student interest. The Hootenanny was again the largest single financial success. This year, to supplement the Hootenanny’s proceeds, SAC sponsored a series of informal, undated dances open to Good Counsel students and any girls who wished to attend. The first of these, the Athletes’ Foot, established these dances as permanent projects for SAC. In order to improve itself, SAC strengthened its communication with the homeroom by requiring constant mutual reporting between the homeroom and its president. SAC also established an Evaluation Com m ittee for the sole purpose of keeping the officers, and therefore the organization, on its toes. Two new executive posts increased the scope of SAC— the Booster Club president and the new Publicity Com m ittee's Chairman. With these major changes, and several constitutional revisions, SAC has strengthened its position as the focus and foundation of student activities at Good Counsel.
THE LEADERS The leaders of SAC, as always, supplied the personality, initiative and labor which made SAC a success. President A1 Checchi provided a surplus of both ideas and leadership. After three years of active leadership in SAC, during which he was president of his entire class for three years, A1 led his own Administration through its active and farreaching rule. Vice-President Tim Murray worked closely with the President, assuming a much greater role than any of his predecessors, a role which in cluded the responsibility of the Hootenanny. Pa tience and efficiency characterized Charlie Maier’s successful tenure as treasurer.
Steve Dean, the
Second Vice-President, worked diligently to orga nize the Junior Prom and to create the first student directory.
Secretary Chris Fox worked through his
tedious tasks with superlative results. Andy Pecoraro, the Historian, led the Poster Club and compiled the school scrapbook. The legislature, composed of the Executive Com m ittee and the homeroom presidents, also de serves recognition for a job well done. Besides the vast amount of general work they do in this branch of the government, the branch also serves as a workshop for the underclassmen who w ill eventually lead.

ATHLETIC COMMITTEE
In the fa ll, the A thletic Comm ittee under Ken Bombard, the chairman, opened the SAC store.
Buttons, pins, "You can’t
stop the Falcons" buttons, and porcelain
"favorite beverage”
mugs, which bore G .C .’s o ffi c ia l seal, were among the items sold in the c a f e t e r i a before school
and during homeroom.
The proceeds o f the sale went to SAC. After the football season, Ken Bombard had to resign b e cause of the great amount of Chairman A1 Serafino and Mark Traversa
tim e he needed to explore schol arship offers.
A1 Serafino, head
cheerleader and a prominent member of the Booster Club, was appointed by SAC President A1 C hecci to fill the vacated post. One o f Al’s first endeavors as chairman was to hold the February A thletic Assembly. The goal of the Assembly was to awaken interest in the school’s newest sport, wrestling. During the Assembly, matches were held between members of the wrestling team and select student challengers. In the special tag team m atch between the team o f "Stud” Bom bard and "Thud” Hays and the duo of Andy “ The Matador” Guida and Louis "C o ach ” DeSimone, the "C oach’s” team won as Mr. DeSimone pinned "Stu d .” Once again, the intramural program, the principal project of the A thletic Committee, established itself as a huge success.
Each homeroom organized teams in both football and basketball, and battled in hard fought duels against op
posing classes.
Brothers from Xaverian C ollege were recruited to referee the games as well as members of the faculty
and interested upperclassmen.
Brother Giles and Brother Borromeo moderated the program and were largely responsible
for its success.

CULTURAL COMMITTEE
1966 could be aptly described as the “year of the owl” at Good Counsel. Equipped with increased funds and a fresh outlook, the cultural com m ittee did the “ impossible” by fulfilling its autumn promises, and taking an active role as a full-fledged organ of SAC. The com m ittee (Chairman Norman Paulhus, Harold Campbell, and Bob Sharpe) and faculty advisor Mr. Morin worked to revamp the G.C. Film Festival, and to establish an art program at the school. The Film Festival’s movies included Orwell’s 1984, Agee's haunting Night of the Hunter, the gentle, pacifist diatribe Forbidden Games, the comedies Bell, Book, and Candle and Gigi, and Bergman’s complexly symbolic The Seventh Seal.
Several award-winning shorts accompanied the main features. Extension
speakers substantially improved the sound system, and the usual screen was discarded for a clearer and larger wall im age. SAC’s purchase of fifty com m ittee-chosen art reproductions introduced the first vestiges o f a future art program to the school.
These paintings, representative of several styles and periods, were framed by
the homeroom chairmen, and then hung in each of the school classrooms. Mr. Morin and an artist friend donated another collection for a February exhibition in the student lounge. An accompanying lecture by Mr. Morin explained the various techniques pfesent. The new cultural interest seeped into direct student action. One group a t tempted an exhibition of its own, and another undertook the awesome task of producing their own movie. These endeavors mark the beginning o f a new era at Good Counsel, one in which the arts take their place as an im portant side of student life.
The Cultural Com m ittee checks one of the paintings. L-R: R, Sharpe, N. Paulhaus, H. Campbell
QOCIAL COMMITTEE Im aginative—Dynamic— Hardworking These attributes of the SAC So cial Com m ittee clearly demonstrate why this organization played such a prominent role in the year of the Falcon.
This year’s Social Com m ittee distinguished it
self through such innovations as an Athlete’s Foot, door prizes, and unparalleled permanent decorations. Tim Conroy, the Chairman o f the Committee, dis played his administrative talents by organizing the Social Com m ittee into an effectiv e group in which each member had set responsibilities.
The Good Counsel social set owes
its gratitude to each of these individuals. Bob Yesbeck was outstanding in his selection of the bands, which included the Hangmen, a group of rising na tional prom inence. Jim Aderhold served as a modified busi ness manager, arranging tick et printing, ticket sales and distribution, while Roy Waldt’s table arrangements, coke concessions and general industry contributed to the overall success of the Com m ittee. The highlight of the Social affairs was, of course, the Homecoming Crowning and Dance.
Linda M itchell was
crowned 1966 Homecoming Queen, and was complemented by a beautiful court.
For the first tim e the Queen was
crowned at h a lf-tim e of the football game in an original and impressive ceremony. The Good Counsel dances as a whole were w ell-a t tended, in keeping with the Good Counsel tradition. The So cial Com m ittee deserves recognition for both increasing the SAC Treasury and providing entertainment which appeals to and was enjoyed by all.
PUBLICITY COMMITTEE
Publicity Chairman — Fred McChesney With the introduction of the Publicity Committee, the school advanced one more peg on its way to prominence. Although the com m ittee was o fficially instated only this year, it traces its origin back to last and Joe Tumulty’s poster com m ittee.
Joe and his group took over intramural publicity for
a ll school functions, turning out poster after poster. The attention spread to the outside as Fred McChesney, then the SAC secretary, undertook the publicity of some SAC endeavors, primarily the Hootenanny. This year, Fred was appointed head o f the com m ittee, which devotes its tim e entirely to extra-school publicity. The Hootenanny once again drew the greatest attention, but such events as the Western Gala, the One A ct Play Festival, and the Film Festival were also covered. Besides making announcements through other schools, Fred and Joe Tumulty, the second member of the com m ittee, released information on G .C .’s activities to lo ca l radio and television stations, and the newspapers. In fact, the Publicity Com mittee has functioned so efficiently that it has been requested to do publicity for other schools in the area. The Publicity Committee also handled this year’s student exchange. Through this program, selected G. C . students visited Einstein and Blair, while their students cam e here. The purpose of the exchange is to help both public and Catholic school students to gain a better understanding o f each other’s systems. The Publicity Committee not only helped G. C. gain recognition this year, but also enabled it to evaluate itself in relation to the public schools.
RELIGIOUS COMMITTEE
RELIGIOUQ CHAIRMAN
DAVID DRAPER This year, as in no other, a greater emphasis has been put on the religious aspect of the students’ lives. The religion classes, which find it impossible to contend with all aspects o f the students’ spiritual development in the classroom, must be supplemented by the active work o f the Religious C om m ittee. In the past years, the Religious Com m ittee has worked in the background as an assistant at Mass every First Friday,
and that was most o f their work.
The first Religious Assembly o f SAC in the history of the school
marked the beginning of a change. The assembly featured Miss Winifred Feeley who spoke on Lourdes, where she presently works and was previously cured. David Draper, the Religious Chairman, heads up the revitalized com m ittee. He also serves as prefect of the Sodality, the backbone of the religious activities. Under the guiding hand of Brother Gregg, new activities have been begun. The Com m ittee always sponsors the Lenten Drive, but this year added a special Lenten fund raising dance and sponsored the Faculty-Varsity game. The change in First Friday Mass was thebiggest change. For the first tim e the Mass was voluntary, and the good attendance revealed the true attitude of the students toward their religion. This new “ o ffic ia l” attitude toward religion has done much to aid the students in developing a mature and realistic toward their religion.

This year, the Booster Club, under President B ill Harrison, becam e the nucleus of school spirit. Through Boos ter Club-sponsored pep rallies and bonfires, like the pre-Carroll blaze, enthusiasm ran- high the first h alf of the football season.
Spirit reached its peak at the Wilson and Gonzaga games. At Wilson, the Boosters and the entire
cheering section stood in the drenching rain while Wilson’s “ followers" fled for shelter. The second half of the Gonzaga game clim axed the entire year, as proved by the near-collapse of one cheerleader. School-wide spirit waned the next week after the one and only loss. However, faithful Booster Club members never gave up and turned out as strong and loud as ever for the next four games, as the Falcons roared to their best record ever. T h e b a s k e t b a l l season opened with a player-introduc tion pep rally. Thereafter, every game Booster Club members sat together and thunderously ap plauded their team , drowning out the b leatin g of the enemy sections. A l t h o u g h cheerleaders A1 Serafino, B. Gallahorn, J . Hous ton, P. Schwartz, D. Rafferty, and A. Pecoraro whipped up the spirit, each member deserves the true credit.

THE TALON
The Talon Staff (left to right):

beck With the aim of better informing each homeroom, The Talon exhumed itself to becom e once again an informative newspaper of OLGC, and spectacularly so. For the first semester, Editor Fred McChesney and his staff concentrated merely on unearthing lost stencils and getting the pressses rolling each week. They did so, spotlighting football each issue, and balancing this with SAC news, editorials, and general news. Initiating a new policy with the Gala Christmas Talon, Good Counsel marvelled at the first two page, illustrated, sharply focused, all-activities-covered Talon. And they liked it. Editorials pointed out Good Counsel’s weak points, letters to the editor ripped losing teams who lost because of poor b a llplaying, and people read it. They did not always agree:
controversy raged over Bill Harrison and the
Booster Club for several issues, and an editorial struck at fighting on the football team which threatened civ il war among the players.
The Talon had to print more than one apology and retraction for its
editorials and letters, but people were reading and thinking. A good staff can help make any paper. Chris Fox and Paul Jones did an excellen t job in all areas. Paul Kemp, Bob Yesbeck, and Dave Draper could write short-notice articles on almost any topic, while Phil Hanlon kept the sports page from being stereotyped. However, it was really the student body who made the Talon the success it was through their letters, criticism s, and suggestions. As Editor Fred McChesney stated, ‘‘The Talon was far from flawless, but we got it back on its feet, and got people reading. That’s all we wanted.”
P08TER CLUB On the basis of last year’s first club, the 1966 Poster Club assumed its full potential as the intra-school pub licity arm o f SAC. Due to unprecedented student sup port and a general willingness to work, the Poster Club has had a successful and rewarding year. Under the dual leadership of Mr. Morin and Brother Andrea, from Xaverian College, the Poster Club has in creased its goals and efficiency. The biggest innova tion of the year was the construction of a silk screen unit, a type of inexpensive duplicating process. At Mr. Morin’s suggestion, and under Brother Andrea’s guid ance, the Poster Club members built the silk screen unit themselves. It has proven its value tim e after tim e this year, as exemplified by the inexpensive and attractive Hootenanny tickets. Each member of the Club has had the opportunity to operate the screen and plan its use. Andy Pecoraro as part of his duties as SAC Histo rian served as president of the club. Under his leader ship, the club played a large part in the widespread

participation and interest in a ll school functions. The consistent production of informative and attractive posters not only requires artistic talent, but great meas ures of patience and tim e. In these three areas, the Poster Club excelled, as their work showed. Despite the heavy work involved, the members found enjoyment and satisfaction in their work, and they can be proud of the contribution they made to the stu dent government and the school.

HOOTENANNY 66 STAR OF THE HOOTENANNY DON LEACE
There’s a tacit understanding in the stu dent body that the Hootenanny as a contem porary musical concept has past its crest. In the light o f this fact, we can only congratu late the more those who were responsible for producing the w ell-received and financially successful ’6 5 - ’66 folk-singing affair. Talent abounded under such unpretentious titles as John and Chad, and Mary, Beth and Gerry. Other labels were more geared to the tim es: the Burgundy Set and the Princegeorgemen. A ll the participating groups were au ditioned and then carefully selected from metropolitan area schools. Some talent cam e from the home front too. The “J ” Trio put on a good show for their fellow students, and Tim Murray, the guy who kept the wheels rolling as chairman and M .C ., played the guitar for the Princegeorgemen. The six amateur groups entertained well, but Don Leace made it the success it was. Don, of C ellar Door fame, put on a terrific variety performance and far surpassed the tremendous billing he had received. His w ell rounded humor and m agnetic personality plus his folk-singing ability re vealed him as a mature, first-rate entertainer.
The audience en
joyed the evening and appreciated his performance, as they en thusiastically showed by the tremendous ovation.

The season’s start, a 33-0 romp over Glenelg, gave the first indication that the Year of the Falcon had com e. In subsequent weeks, the Varsity jumped to the No. 7 spot in the Star’s city-w ide rankings by winning seven games, only losing to Carroll, the area’s No. 1 team , and tying a determined O’Connell eleven. Under the superb coaching of Andy Guida, Chuck Hornfeck, Louie DeSimone, and Tom Kolar, the spirited Falcons opened up with an overwhelming victory over Glenelg. Co-captain Tom Dickerson scampered for two scores from 22 and
yards out, and tackle Terry Eberly’s interception for a touchdown iced the victory. In their first home stand, the squad avenged last year’s loss by murdering High Point 2 5 -6 . Early in the game, the
team ’s Most Valuable Player, quarterback Bob Rafferty, connected with end John Denis for the first score. Then fullback Jim ‘Thud’ Hayes bulldozed off tackle for three touchdowns to wrap it up. Against Wilson in the driving rain, the stingy Falcon defense, anchored by A ll-M et tackle Ken Bombard, chalked up two safeties and their second shutout. Halfback A1 C hecchi demonstrated his break away speed with dashes o f 53 and 76 yards before injuring his ankle. After an open week, the team tangled with upset-minded Gonzaga, and with the Eagles leading late in the fourth quarter, the fired-up Falcons struck back to win in the closing seconds. Rafferty completed three in a row to Dickerson, putting the b all on the 15-yard lin e. Four plays later Bob drove across from the one for the TD. The next week, the team lost a heartbreaking contest to Carroll 13-0, but held A ll-M et Bob Mahnic to 12 yards rushing. In the O’Connell game, a 28-28 tie, catches by Tom Dickerson and C liff Brown set up four Rafferty touchdowns, and extra-point special ist Mike Berrang booted the conversions. The Falcons regained their winning form by stomping Cardozo 2 8 -6 . After Dickerson latched onto a 37-yard double reverse pass from Rafferty for a touchdown, the Clerks called it quits. Against Episcopal, touchdown gallops by Dicker son and Hayes, plus a six-point pass to Brown insured the Falcon’s sixth victory. In the season final, the squad journeyed to Cumberland to take on Fort H ill, and although one newspaper had the audacity to pick Fort H ill as the favorite, the Falcons creamed their biscuits 2 8 -6 .

The Varsity football team can attribute its success to the hard-nosed play o f the spirited seniors. The all senior offensive line consistently blew open holes lik e the one above for Jim Hayes, and the defense tackled hard, making A ll-M et fullback Bob Mahnic fumble twice and holding him to 12 yards. Even the second team hammered out the yardage behind the blocking of Joe Theis and the running of Dan Cassidy.

The 1965-66 Falcon Basketball team combined fine shooting with blinding speed to bring another winning season to Good Counsel. Led by high-jumping co-cap tain George Hackey and co-captain defensive ace Tommy Dickerson, the Roundballers terrorized the opposition from Sandy Springs to D .C, In their most impressive victories, the Falcons outplayed Sherwood and Einstein and stomped Bladensburg and Bishop McNamera to the sounds of “ We want a hundred!” The front court men, sparked by Harvey Simms and his patented over-hand set shot, were responsible for many Falcon victories. Seniors Tom Heeney and Tommy Dickerson swished from a ll over the court and turned in remarkable performances in clutch situations. Buddy Tucker, a junior, frequented the double figures and provided steady shooting from the outside. Under the boards, George Hackey proved himself one o f the most alert centers in the area.
He combined fine shooting and fabulous defensive
ability to be the sparkplug of this year’s team . Senior C liff Brown, despite a late-season injury, proved a valuable asset to the team .
C liff regularly hit from the corner and was one of the
top rebounders in the final season statistics.
Senior John Brugger turned
in tremendous late-season performances and figured prominently in vic tories over Einstein and Sherwood. Ed Jones, also a senior, rebounded well and provided many points with his m achine-type jump shot. Seniors Rocky Anastasi and Tim Sullivan proved to be valuable re serves and showed good spirit and fine ability. Juniors Gary Rivers and Pat Rhodes also proved to be assets for this year’s team and are key-m en in plans for the 1966-67 season.

The Sophomore-dominated junior Falcons finished the season with a disappointing 5 and 15 record. Coach Guida started a ll sophomores to give his younger players experience. The loss of John Vignau’s scoring and re bounding seriously weakened the team . John scored 24 points and hauled in 28 rebounds in his only full game. In his absence, Mike O’Connor took over as leading scorer and rebounder. The baby Falcons rebounded to finish 6-10 after a slow start. Center Eddie Fitzgerald developed into the leading scorer and rebounder, and Coaches DeSimone and Kolar predict possible varsity action for him next year. Guards Steve Houston and Jim Roberts and forwards Charlie Cusick and Mike Clancy rounded out the front line. Clancy and Roberts hit well from the outside, Houston set up the plays, and Cusick worked the pivot effectively to keep GC in all the games.

St. Joseph’s, Ryken and a host o f teams in the Wakefield Invitational. Gary Heim, the Most Valuable Runner set course records at St. Albans and Richard Montgomery, with Tom Manco and Coleman Wessel hipping at his heels. In the Wake field Invitational, Good Counsel captured seven of the first twenty-five places in a field of 123 runners to domi nate the m eet. In the Xaverian Triangular with strong support from the J. V . and freshmen, they swept past Mt. S t. Joseph’s and Ryken to win all three divisions. Next year Coach Manning expects Tom Manco, Larry Raum, Joe Roesser and M ike Burke to head an even stronger team .

Tom Dickerson, record holder in the highs, and Charlie M cGee w ill return in the hurdles. Bill Carroll and M ik e Tait should make the high jump the strongest field event. Pete Tebeau returns from last year's record-break ing trio in the pole vault, and T a it and Tra versa w ill handle the broad-jumping. Dan Cassidy w ill double in the shot put and discus.

WRESTLING Under the direction of Br. Giles, Good C o u n s e l organized its first wrestling team . Because the sport offers the opportunity to participate despite his size, a large and enthu siastic group turned out. After or ganizing into weight classes rang pn
counsii
ing from 95 pounds to heavyweight, the team spent most of the year learning fundamentals and acquir ing the experience and stamina n ec essary for varsity competition. Un derclassmen Joe Connors, Bob Lane and Steve Haynes especially bene fited from this year of training.
The Wrestling Team ? The purchase of a $1,200 wrestling mat shows that the A thletic Department intends to develop wrestling as a major winter sport to go along with basketball. Hoping to start interscholastic competition as soon as possible, Br. Giles harbors great hopes for upcoming years and has stated that within two or three years Good Counsel should have a good, strong team . After only a few months work, the wrestling team demonstrated the skill and coordination required for the sport at a special athletic assembly to introduce the student body to the team . The impressive showing o f the whole team at this predicted the emergence of another strong, athletic team at Good Counsel. Spirited seniors Jim Turner, Tom Bru ton, Steve Bartels, and Joe Theis deserve special recognition for the enthusiasm and leadership they gave the new sport.

This year the Drama Club has becom e one of the most popular extracurricular activities in the school. This is due to the fact that the club has improved to the point where it now encompasses a ll facets of the theatre. Thus, it offers a wider range of opportunity for the students to exhibit their various talents and abilities. The club’s success is attributed to its faithful, hard-working members and most of a ll to its experienced moderators; Mr. Allison, who is an actor himself, is the general moderator and he also directed the Senior One A ct Play. Mr. Smith also an actor, coached the Juniors in their festival presentation. The Freshman-Sophomore groups were guided by Mr. Morin, a drama critic from C.U.

Brother Alexander is not literally a moderator but he produced the One A ct Play Festival and did various other tasks for the club. The Fall One A ct Play Festival exemplifies the club’s strength as a good acting group.
With the new
stage, which they built themselves, and a desire for success, they set out to create an excellent show, to say the least!
The Seniors presented a very humorous
melodrama entitled “ The Man in the Bowler H at.” The Junior play, “ The Apollo of B ella c,” provided a more serious elem ent to the festival.
Mr. Morin helps the stage crew set up props.
The Freshman-Sophomore play was entitled “S t. Patrick’s Day.”
This was a "period play” taking place in
1775 England. Besides the fa ll play festival, the Drama Club traditionally staged a musical in the Spring. This year the “ offBroadway” musical “ Once Upon a Mattress” is being done. It is based on the fairy tale of “ The Princess and the Pea.”
A ll three groups have rallied their efforts and resources in preparation. The work began in December when
auditions were announced and invitations were issued to the various girls’ schools. The cast was chosen and pro duction started. The Drama Club has com e a long way since its beginning. This year was the biggest step. It has made per manent improvements like building the stage, which was badly needed, and they performed their first, full-length musical. The Drama Club has proved itself.

1965 can be written off as a year that the Counselor changed printers, and began the first tutelage of underclass men in newspaper work. Organized by moderator Br. Alex ander and Editor Norm Paulhus, the paper provided an im portant news medium coordinating all phases o f school life . 1965 marked the ninth year o f presentation of the Counselor as the school’s number one publication.
Some
distinguishing features of this year’s Counselor are Letters to the Editor, Classified Ads, and Charley M aier’s Following the Falcons column.

For many, the beginning of September was the beginning of a new school year, opportunities to join the host of clubs available, and the beginning o f a successful football season. But for a few it was the beginning of many months of planning, organizing, and putting into operation the third edition of the Falcon Yearbook. From the first week in September until the deadline in March, a select group of people worked conscientiously to bring to the student body a com plete report o f the social, athletic, and non-athletic events which took place. Headed up this year by Editor-in-C hief Bob Sharpe, the Falcon promised to be a more interesting and pictorial layout than of the previous year. Sharpe, who gained invaluable experience last year as an assistant to the editor, divided his book into two main groupings, A thletic and N on-athletic. George Krainak took charge of the A thletic department. With the numerous sports played at Good Counsel, George promised many pictures devoted to this sec tion. Bobby Rafferty, another assistant for the last two years, was placed at the head of the non-athletic section de voted to such activities as Debate, Sodality, etc. A yearbook could not be published without pictures and thanks to the diligent work of Larry Schnaubelt, this year’s edition has more pictures than ever before. Through the services, of these four and the help o f many others, Good Counsel students w ill be able to enjoy all that went on this year in the Third Annual Yearbook.
Fred McChesney was instrumental in this publication, handling nearly all the typing
chores.

F0REN8ICS With an excellen t reputation behind them, the Good Counsel debators continued to have the highest attainment of success this year. Led by Brother M eric, the club’s moderator, and the Washington C atholic Forensic League’s vice-president, the club has trumped on two trophies in speech, second place in U. of Penn sylvania and U. o f Maryland Tournaments, plus numerous qualifications in single WCFL debate tournaments.
Moderator Brother M eric gives instructions to un derclass debators.
Throughout the summer months, the debate team had been working in one unit in order to com pete with the best preparation possible. For with only this conditioning could the debate team expect to survive the rig orous schedule that they faced. Beginning the schedule with only one purpose, improving the record set by last year’s championship team, the squad started its assault on the record books in the three Thanksgiving Tourneys.

Concentrating on providing pictures for a ll the school publications this year, the Photography Club pro vided excellent pictorial coverage of school activities. Under the direction of first-year moderator, Br. Antonius, members photographed events ranging from wild, jam -packed football games to the quiet contemplation of an oscilloscope by an Electronics Club member. The operation of the club centers around the darkroom where pictures are developed and printed. The purpose o f the club is to stimulate interest in amateur photography and to unify the talents of the members. To achieve this aim, the club operates a training program, as an integral part of the activities. New members learn the fundamental aspects of composition, cam era principles and picture-developing techniques from the more advanced members of the club. Besides this, the club often shows training movies illustrating the more advanced and refined style of photography.
Club president Steve Kogge played a vital role in the publication of both the Falcon and the Counselor through his picture-taking talents. Tim e and tim e again the edi tors of the yearbook would horde this top-notch photogra pher in quest of excellent pictures. Also a note o f grati tude should be extended to Br. Antonius, who continually labored long, tedious hours in the darkroom to produce lastminute pictures while frantic editors sweated the deadline. Moderator Br. Antonius and President Steve Kogge crop a sports picture for the Falcon.

Brother Antonius and Brother Alberic along with the thirty members of the Math Club m eet every other Tuesday and evaluate math problems, studying them carefully, and attempting to discover easier short cuts to their solutions.
Occasionally the moderators give talks concerning the different areas and divisions of mathe
m atics. As a member of the Montgomery County Math League, the Math Club competes every other week with several area schools in the league.
Each competitor is given five problems to solve in a certain tim e period.
These problems deal with all areas of high school mathematics and in some cases require intensive study. Usually the seniors and juniors make up Good Counsel's Math Club team while the sophomores and freshmen substitute for the upperclassmen in case of illness or absence. The Math Club sponsors the yearly Math Con test for grade school students. This contest gives future high school students a chance to compete against others, as w ell as a chance to display their natural talents in the field of mathem atics at an early age.
Awards for this contest go to both the
members of the winning team and the school which they represent. RIGHT: Math Club President Jim Aderhold explains the derivation of a conic section by interpretation.
In the St. John’s Invitational the team of Joe M cCaffery and Dick Roderick won a ll their debates and finished second best affirmative team . Roderick also won a trophy as the best speaker in his category. The biggest attraction this year was our own tour nament. Held the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth of December, Good Counsel played host to both re gional and out-of-town schools. Following the G. C. Tournament, the debators faced two straight weeks of competitions at Maryland and Pennsylvania. Richard Roderick and Chris Fox along with Tom Moffat and Joe McCaffery a ll took second place at Pennsylvania.

In the field of speech, Good Counsel has consistently over-powered its Washington league opponents. The overall spirit of the team was one of deter mination to win as they promised to do.

With the aim of stimulating a career in electronics for its members, the Electronics Club continues to set its pace as one of the stepping stones for many aspiring scientists. In the past the club concentrated solely on the exploration o f radio techniques, but has now undertaken the study of more modern and advanced fields of electronics, branching out into many diversified fields. A ll the members have access to the club room, situated in the far end of the science wing. There, m em bers concentrate on their individual projects, as w ell as working in teams on various problems that beset them. In the past, their projects have included such com plicated devices as a digital computer, radio telescope, a rocket launcher, and basic radios. The members also receive instruction on how to use the variety o f equipment and tools in the room.
As these students continue to de vote their spare tim e to electronics, they also benefit by the extra knowl edge they have gained. For this club is truly the launching pad for many conscientious and devoted scientists.

Through an active and interesting program th eScien ceC lu b of Good Counsel strives to gain its o b jectiv e -a personal knowledge of science and a realization of the importance and complexity of the many fields of sci ence. This goal is obtained through individual participation, films, lectures, books, pamphlets and tours. Early in the school year, members went on a tour of Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring to inspect many of its m edical fa cilitie s. More tours are planned for the remainder of the year. Films, with a wide range of subjects, from radiation to the black widow spider, are shown both for the en joyment and the information o f their members. Information o f the various fields o f science give members an opportunity to inspect various scien tific careers and stimulate personal interest in the particular fields. The highlight of the Scien ce Club's year was the annual Scien ce Fair held in March. Each member of the club submitted a project and this year's Fair again captured lo cal interest with projects ranging from study of blood cells to wine-making. The winners o f the Fair were subsequently invited to compete in the County S ci en ce Fair.

discussion in the Sophomore So dality.
Besides these specific endeavors, the Sodality also holds daily rosary in the school chapel. A recent addi tion in this line are the confessions heard in the chapel every Tuesday and Thursday by a priest from a neigh boring parish. Realizing the need to be more informed of the Christian challenge, members of the Sodality participated in seminars and workshops throughout the year. One of the most prominent topics discussed was Fair Housing in the D istrict. The highlight of the religious year was moving talk by Mrs. Frances Feeley. Mrs. Feeley enlightened the student body on the miraculous cures that are performed at Lourdes, posing as a living example. This year through the efforts of the Sodality the obligation to attend First Friday Mass has been dropped. Though none of the emphasis on the Mass has been lost, and it is still well-attended, it is now on a voluntary basis.
This is in keeping with the council’s statements that an action performed strictly for love, not from co
ercion, is most pleasing to God.

The most distinctive characteristic of a Catholic school is the religious activity centered around it. The sodality at Good Counsel, under the direction of Brother Gregg, the moderator, and Prefect David Draper typi fies the recent concentration on religious action in the high school and community. The 1965 edition of the sodality has reinstated the Lay Apostolate in its program for the children of St. Paul and Augustine in the form o f a b icy cle repair shop. Another Washington-based project was the annualsenior-sponsored Christmas Basket Drive. The purpose o f the drive is to alleviate some of the more deprived fam ilies in southeast Washington. This year’s drive was the most successful one in Good Counsel’s history.
