CO Feeds Many Benefits All A tradition that has continued at Prep for years was again a tremendous success in 1983. Operation Others, which provided Christmas dinner for needy families throughout Cmaha, seems to receive more and more requests for its valuable service every year. This year 720 families were provided with food during the holiday season compared with SOO the previous year. ' Although many individuals from Prep all contributed their goods and services to O.Q., there were a few whose efforts need to be recognized. Mr. Bill Laird and Fr. Dan Kenney, SJ. were the faculty moderators. Fr. Kenney returned to the helm after a one year absence spent in Africa. Seniors lohn Smith, Guy O'Brien, and lohn Murray were the student coordinators. Many organizations from Prep and Marian donated their efforts to raising money for C.O. The National Honor Society, led by Seniors leff Searl and Eric Scholar raised more than a thousand dollars for 0.0. by sponsoring the ever popular Eat-a- Thonf' The Science Club donated all money from cans collected during one week in December. The Prep and Marian Swim Teams sponsored a swim-a-thon which raised over four hundred dollars, ten times more than last year. Bro. ferry Peltz, S.l. and several other Prep students sponsored the Run for Qthersn held in early December. Although hard, snow-packed hills were part of the course, over l5O runners participated in the area event. The Prep faculty was victorious over the KCTL Pumblefoot Five. Marian's state championship volleyball team and the Mart Club, made up of Prep seniors, raised two hundred dollars in what had to be the mismatch of the century. General reaction to C.O.'s success was mixed, but its effect was very positive. lt was pretty good, although l wish more people would have brought more cans, said lohn Smith. Guy O'Brien added, lt was a long and hard experience because of the extra families, but it was worth the pain.

About three, since that was how long it took the Mother-Son communion Breakfasts to reach all school status. Unlike the first two, this one was open to freshmen and sophomores as well, making attendance the largest so far. The morning began with a Mass. The principal celebrant was Fr. Bohr and the lesuit faculty served as concelebrants. After Mass, breakfast was served. Considering the reputation of other Prep breakfast events for unpalatable food, most people found the fare enjoyable. During the meal, a short program took place. lt was led off by an invocation by Fr. Kenney and was followed by an address about mothers by leff Searl. Closing remarks and benediction were given by Fr. Sullivan. Fr. Mullen was MC. Credit and thanks went out to the women who organized the event: Diane Laughlin, Beverly Murray, and Ann Tomcykowski. Another new event brought the spotlight on Prep students and their moms: The Mother-Son Dinner Dance tnicknamed the morn promwi, held on Valentines Day Eve in the Peony Park Ballroom. After dinner, the lights were dimmed and soon all were dancing to tunes which ranged from Frank Sinatra to Michael lackson. While some mothers refused to dance, others had the trouble of getting their sons to dance, so towards the end of the evening many women found themselves tangoing, polka-ing, or breakdancing with someone other than their son. Halftime entertainment was provided C.P. by groups made up of members from all tour classes. The sophomores chose a skit that not many people could figure out, the only redeeming quality of which was a harmonica solo by Bill Hoover. The juniors brought the Raoul Rodriguez Show from the gym floor to the dance floor. A reluctant Pr. Sullivan was used to demonstrate a magic trick in this take-off on HThe Tonight Show The seniors gave an example of the typical Mother-Son Driving Lesson, complete with screams, gasps, and threats. The entire school benefited, either directly or indirectly, from the dance. Classes were put on a late start schedule the following day, allowing both mothers and sons to rest after an exciting evening. The Mom Prom was a success and certainly did serve its purpose of uniting Prep families.
