The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat! These words describe our Third An- nual Powder Puff football game, which was held Octo- ber 6. 1987, at John Carroll Field. All week long the girls practiced hard, waiting for that final day when they would show all the powerful plays they had learned. Fri- day arrived, and showtime began, the Seniors in their white and purple jerseys and the Juniors in their royal blue and black. The Junior Wild Women squared off to meet the Se- nior Grapeful Dead . Unfor- tunately for the Juniors, the powerful running done by the Seniors and the powerful plays called by the coaches made the Grapeful Dead a force to be reckoned with, leaving the score 21-6 . 28

THE GATHERINC “Spiritual Renewal” John Carroll is a strong supporter of academics, but first and foremost comes the religious aspect of the “True John Carroll Pride.” Once a year Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors are of- fered a religious experience which offers not only a chance to grow within one- self. but also a chance to grow closer to God. This experi- ence takes place at the Hargis Retreat Center located on Highway 280 in Shelby County. The wonderful at- mosphere at Hargis allows a student to feel at home as part of one big family, a fam- ily of unity, a family of hope, and a family of God. The re- ligious life at John Carroll is not one to take for granted, but one to treasure as a spe- cial reward for a John Carroll education. 30
