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.

Senior involvement assists community A new addition to our curriculum, Sen- ior Projects, offered a chance for student involvement in aiding the underprivileged. A convention in Chicago which members of the student council attended gave rise to the projects. Under the leadership of moderators Mr. Patrick O'Ma11ey and Mr. Charles Kester- meier, SJ, the idea for the projects materi- alized. The projects varied almost as greatly in number as the students participating. During the three week experiment, projects took students to California and Nevada, as well as to various locations around Omaha, including the Boys' Club, ECHO, and EN- COR. A review board, consisting of the moderators and three seniors evaluated each participating senior on his perform- ance and graded him accordingly. Although still in the experimental stages, the projects gave seniors an opportunity to excercise and practice Christian living in the com- munity today. :NW Engrossed in the action, Tim Crnkovich and his young companion from the South Omaha Boys' Club follow the players' movements in a fast-paced game of foos- ball.
