Stags and picnics cement student-faculty bonds Stressing not only unity among class m e m b e r s, stags accomplished w h a t pre- vious ones rarely had - - the development of a closer student-faculty rapport. Besides providing the students and fac- ulty an opportunity to talk together in- formally, the stags also featured games, musical groups, movies, and food. Aside from traditional stags, most classes also held picnics, and again the fa c ul t y were invited. Initiated by the sen- iors, the class picnic became an immediate success, with the juniors and freshmen adopting the idea. Taking a day off in May, the freshmen f rolicked in Elmwood Park for their student picnic. The juniors and seniors, however, held their picnics on campus, with Fr. Daniel Ryan, SJ, and Fr. Eugene Dutkiewicz, SJ, preparing the food. In all the stags, faculty members played a more prominent role, finding new insight into understanding their students. The awkward choreography of Mr. Schatz and senior Steve Parker leaves them just short of an overthrown pass at the senior class picnic.

Rising costs limit sports gatherings In an effort to curb rising costs, Prep adopted a more conservative approach re- garding sports banquets. Winter and spring sports enjoyed individual celebrations after each of their seasons. All of the fall sports teams, however, got together for a banquet in the Prep cafeteria. Although Nebraska University's foot- ball game in Hawaii detained All-American Jerry Tagge and Assistant Coach Cletus Fischer, the fall sports banquet proved a great success. Master of ceremonies Mr. Pat Gillespie introduced the team coaches who recognized the efforts of their athletes and awarded letters. Mr. Marty Hornig, coach of the only Prep state champs, pre- sented monograms to his entire tennis squad. The 1971 football captains intro- duced Prep's tri-captains for next year: Mark Donnelly, John Moore, and Rich Wilwerding. The presentation of an honorary letter to Dan Lalone for his exceptional Prep spirit climaxed the evening's awards. Fr. John Snyder, SJ, closed the banquet by ex- pressing hope for the athletes as future leaders. In a short speech, tennis coach Mr. Marty Hornig recaps the efforts of his state championship team.
