Committees Review, Plon, Regulate School Activities Small groups specializing in large problems comple- mented Jesuit's extracurricular activities this year. Each group, through lengthy discussion, planning, and debate, assumed a role equal to that of some of the school's larger clubs. Six juniors bore the responsibility of arranging for the Senior Prom. Under Chairman Joe Tennant, the group scouted bands and banquet rooms, and spon- sored two dances in preparation for the elegant for- mal event the second week of May. Student government benefited from the efforts of the Evaluation Committee and Judicial Review Board. Evaluation Committee members examined school ac- tivities with a cold, discerning eye and made docu- mented recommendations to correct the faults. The Judicial Review Board was saddled with the task of writing a new Senate constitution. The board, chaired by Mark Weber, focused new attention on the need for an improved document to guide Jesuit's political leaders and club presidents. The school board, composed of Principal Fr. Thomas Healy, Vice Principal Fr. Joseph Danel, elected faculty represen- tatives, and three student body officers met every month to discuss the school policy. The board de- cided on questions of clothing, senior privileges, and academic standards and grading. DAVE YOUNG, Bill Sullivan, and Peter Lee discuss pros and cons of a recent dance. JUDICIAL REVIEW BOARD members H. J. Langtry, Mark Weber, and Jim Stempel take time out after a long meeting. PROM COMMITTEE members Jim Whlttemore, Joe Tennant, Mike Casey, Tom Kemper, Steve Connolly, and Pete Casciato discuss prom sites.

' l l l l l l I l SOPHOMORES compete against other classes in constructing a human pyramid in the shortest length of time at a basketball pep assembly. Assemblies Add Enthusiasm, Also Occasional Serious Note Unity among Jesuit High students was promoted and mani- fested in numerous assemblies. The entire student body was inspired by Coach Allen's and Coach Carriganis vehemence in their speeches before the assembled students, and was touched by Mother Winifred's appeal for aid for the starving Biafrans. Candidates for student body offices expressed their goals and expressed their goals and opinions to the students. Spirit Week assemblies enhanced student support of the teams prior to important games. The memorable events of the Spirit Week assemblies were the root-beer chugging contest and the human pyramids created by each class. Probably the least popular assembly, but by no means unim- portant, was Fr. Healy's assembly on discipline. He urged the students to conduct themselves as true Jesuit gentlemen. Under the capable direction of presidents Jerry Cobb and Bill Carter, assemblies throughout the year ran smoothly. The cheerleaders, however, held the pep assemblies together. .Ya
