Kindergarteners take a break from hard work to sip some cold milk and munch a few cookies. Remember when ... we use to like to work hard at school and to read a book? Like the older kids, these two lst-graders are excited to get a breather from the old routine. ‘ i-; ™ Activities ... in French, German, Religion and all subjects were sponsored in group organ- izations by Sister Emilia during the 1978-79 school year. The clubs, pictured on these 2 pages include the Language Club, above left; National Honor Society, lower left; and Sodality, above. The Language Club did not have any group activities other than the presentation of skits in German and French for the student body. The Lan- guage Club is led by Patty Podhaisky.

On Monday, the Freshmen ap- peared dressed as plumbers and attempted to “Flush the Bobcats.” Tuesday was the Sopho- mores' day and they demonstrated spirit by bring- ing out the qualities of a Crusader. Wednesday, the Juniors acted out the cheer Mix ’em Up-the boys were cheerleaders and the girls were football players. On Thursday the senior class came down with a fever—Crusader Fever. Tire traditional burning of the “A” was held on Thursday night and the Spirit Stick was awarded to the Junior class.

Their attendants were Chris Brittan, Erin Kelly. Matt Brennan and Nancy Freimuth.

O Report Issued On Jonestown WASHINGTON (AP) — There is no way to tell whether an improved performance by the State Department might have prevented the mass murder-suicide at the Peoples Temple commune in Guyana last November, a department report concludes. But the report, published Thursday, charged the department with extreme inefficiency and serious mistakes in judgment in its reaction to events leading up to the violence, which took the lives oi Rep. Leo J. Ryan, D-Calif., four companions and more than 900 followers of the Rev. Jim Jones. The report said U.S. Embassy officials in Guyana were severely circumscribed by their basic lack of polire or investigative authority.” The Guyanese government did not try to keep a close watch on the jungle encampment, the report said. Even if those factors had been improved, to guess whether the deaths could have been averted would be “pure speculation,” the report said.
