Cheerleaders Instill Spirit Terry Burke, Miss Victory, parades before her prospective suitors at the LaSalle-Peru game St. Bede athletic teams were urged on this past year by an agile, versatile and enthusiastic troupe of cheerleaders. Kenan Bresnan headed the varsity group of Bob Hebei, Scott Keenan and Terry Burke. Tom Schroer, Pat Weiher, Tim Rucinski and Joe Proulx generated support for the sophomore team. Basketball games were en- livened with their skits before the games and their acrobatic stunts. The chief item in their stunt repertoire was the six man pyramid. Somersaults,cartwheels, flips and the five man pyramid not only amused St. Bede fans but also won cheers from the visitors. At the Mendota game the cheerleaders masqueraded as Trojans in a pre-game skit. Two hunters shot a pair of tigers when the Princeton Tigers came to the gymnasium. Morris Redskins saw a band of Indians wiped out by Bruin cowboys. A pair of cheerleaders stole a treasure chest from some marauding Ot- tawa Pirates. Four Cavaliers du- eled for the hand of Miss Victory when LaSalle-Peru came to play the Bruins. In a skit before the LaSalle-Peru contest, cheerleaders dressed to represent L-P and St. Bede vie for the favors of a fickle Miss Victory.

Science Fair Draws 97 Exhibits Come to the Fair! That was the order ot the day for Sunday, February 28, the date of St. Bede's eighth annual Science Fair. More than five hundred people gathered in the confines of the Abbot Vincent Gymnas- ium to view the triumphs of sci- ence represented by ninety- seven exhibits in chemistry, physics, mathematics and various sciences. Although characterized by a predominance of chemistry projects, the Fair was favored by a wide sampling of the other sciences in projects ranging from the practical Satellite Communi- cations to the theoretical Sets and Systems. The format and organization of the 1965 Science Fair was patterned closely after that of the 1964 Fair, which sent nine representatives to the DeKalb District Fair, three of whom eventually arrived at the state finals in Champaign. Judging for the projects took place between ten and twelve o'clock Sunday morning, while the fair was open for the public's appraisal from one to four o'clock that afternoon. Tom Nagle explains color centers to an inquisitive Barry Burke. While Gregory Baratim prepares to anesthetize one of his subjects for the benefit of Mark Barry and Merle Piacenn, Martin Manning re- views a synopsis of Gregory's Outstanding project. Barry, Piacenti and Manning combined on a paleontology project which also earned an “Outsrandin award. EFFECTS OFi PROLONGED NARCOSIS ON SMALL mamma M A«
