Crouched in a corner, Retreatmaster Mr. Ed Kult, SJ, listens to the opinions given during a discussion period. Pausing along the tracks during a strenuous walking retreat, Fr. William O'Leary, SJ, ponders a short scripture passage. , ,,,.,,, f fL'f'

Oblivious of Mr. John Campbell, SJ, and Mike Higgins' conversation, Jack Harwood concentrates on eating his cheeze pizza and hiding his cigarette. 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.

Retreats encourage spiritual evaluation In the underclassmen retreats, organizers kept the size at about twenty students, thus allowing those participating a greater chance to open up and give spon- taneous reactions to the topics discussed. Special efforts by Mr. Pauly, SJ, Fr. Kenney, SJ, and Fr. Jim O'Leary, SJ, organized the bulk of the retreats. The success of retreats appeared obvious as enthusiasm and interest among the students grew in the program, mostly due to the fact that retreats catered to the in- dividual. Also of essence was the cutting down in their size, enabling the spiritual coordinator to obtain a closer rapport with those attending. U' Q in Q ,o W ,, U wi Je W ,t ,..
