a...,,.r 011.-W' 'M z Y ,VK 2 fails' Qtgoritiiitieql from page 21 almost as grim and lite-determining. At Prep we all play games f we assume the roles ot student, teacher, jock, Hbrainf' W whatever is expected ot us. Our everyday lite is a game we play. Not that our games are necessarily enjoyable or good tor us. ln fact, as anyone who has experienced States of Life is supposed to know, sometimes these games are extremely harsh attairs because everyone is playing to win . . . to win something. Iesuit author lohn Powell also gives advice on how to conquer those games we play: mln order to achieve the honest communication ot ourselves with others, to experience the reality ot others, to become integrated and to grow, it helps very much to be aware ot our patterned reactions - the games we play. lt we become aware ot these games, we may give them up, Yet we can't do away with games completely, nor would we want to. Some games are tun and harmless, some make lite run more smoothly. Rules ot etiquette, grammar, dress, knowing how to act and look l'cool, are parts ot the games we play, games that help us get through high school. This yearbook will look at those games as well as the motives behind them. We've laid out the board and set up the pieces tor you, the players. Prepare yourselves to play again the games ot l983-84.

They play on a football field, dont they? Hldeing behind and believing in yourself and one another and above all in God: then is there ever defeat? Fr. Charles Kanne's words to the football team just before they took the State Championship apply to all of us in all the games We play. They have a special meaning, however, for anyone who has ever played any kind of sport. Although not all of Preps teams experienced the intense media and school attention that football did, none of them ended the season as losers. The most spectacular individual accomplishment of the year was that Senior gymnast Nick Lanphier. Cne would not think to look at this quiet and unassuming person that he had taken a gold medal in All-Around competition at the State Meet. The Cross Country Team took sixth in State after a strong second place finish at districts. The Toro Sting Soccer Club took State honors in their division as well. At this writing, the basketball team had just had its first loss to North in the single elimination Holiday Tournament. Wrestling had been victorious in several dual meets. And the Chess Team had recently outmatched the Bryan and Boys Town teams. ,W f . ,kk
