Project coordinator Senior Joe Lowndes and Father Daniel Kenney, SJ, began laborous preparations early in November for the Christmas-time project. Innovative fund- raising activities included senior-faculty wrestling matches at the Operation Others pep rally and a forty-eight hour basketball marathon. The basketball marathon, sponsored by the senior class, was perhaps the most in- genious method of raising funds. 11,500 points were scored and pledges Qper one hundred pointsb amounted to about three hundred dollars. In addition, Omaha area businesses were solicited for contributions and students collected canned goods for the cause. The Operation Others Mass presented a chance to display the food and presents collected, and an opportunity to gather the forces for the sorting and delivering tasks set for the following days. Outmaneuvering a weary Fred Hron, fellow senior Mike Flynn adds yet another field goal during the third day of the basketball marathon.

Class stags enrich school atmosphere Achieving better rapport and unity between students and faculty, stags proved an important asset to Prep life. Although Seniors never managed to organize a stag, the other classes did and greatly benefitted from their gatherings. Poorly attended Frosh Fun Night started off the school year. The Freshmen, however, reorganized for a second fun-night and a late winter stag, both of which were successful. During the spring, the sophomore class united for a highly active food and film stag. The Juniors, in turn, organized a picnic with the faculty just before summer vacation. Although few in number, stags still remained a very enjoyable Prep tradition.
