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.

HAVING CHEERED the basketball team on to another victory, students actively support an after-game dance. I'm Happy Just to Dance With You Every Night In past years Jesuit dances have been plagued with the problem of too many spectators and not enough participants. This problem seems to have been met and resolved by a new breed of Jesuit student. This year's freshmen were one of the most outgoing first year class in Jesuit history. Sophomores, un- daunted no longer, were plagued with worries of class distinction, and the two upperclasses found that it's best to take full advantage of the limited time and 31.25 entrance fee. These factors, com- bined with the improving quality of female counter- parts, have made it a pleasure for the various bands to supply music for the many victory celebrations. Uninhibited students did their own thing at the opening home game dance featuring Little Curtis and the Blues and decided to return after succes- sive Friday victory dances sponsored by about a dozen clubs. Enthusiasm of the students rubbed off on the bands and a general high spirit vibrated throughout the walls of Jesuit's makeshift nightclub. The friendly, carefree atmosphere of Jesuit's yearly rock festival will certainly remain heavy on the minds of the class of '69. Until you've unwound at Jesuit on Friday nights, you haven't used all the school's facilities. JIM BERGMAN AND LEO BAUER dance to the music. Wi
