others' Club Does if . . T'-wh The St. Laurence Mothers' Club helps the school in many ways, one of which is finances. The club had many fundraisers, some of which were the An- nual Fashion Show, performed by the talented Mothers of the Club, and a dinner party. They also hosted the An- nual Christmas Party. The Mothers' Club members devote much of their time to the school. The Club holds meetings monthly and they regularly have a guest speaker at the meetings. The club discussed a variety of subjects this year to aid them in their policy decisions. The moderator this year was the school's treasurer, Br. McNamara. Under his and Mrs. Langford's guidance the Mothers' Club had another successful year. Top Left: Moms raise money with a bake sale. Top Right: Br.

uiding the W No facet of life is without its prob- lems, and high school definitely follows that rule. Fortunately the St. Laurence Guidance Department was present to help alleviate some of these debacles. For Freshmen and Sophomores the difficult question of taking A, B, or Honors track courses had to be over- come. Many discovered that a course was too difficult, and schedules had to Y be mended. Mr. Kearney and Mr. Kocher would help these students settle into the school. College-bound Juniors and Seniors began to use the department more ex- tensively. A.C.T. and S.A.T. testing was taken. Under Br. Jackson and Ms. Erazo, various scholarships were sought, and students could be assured of facing their future. Top: Mr. Kocher instructs a student about his new schedule.

The traditional fundraisers were held, such as the Smoker and Octoberfest. The members could be seen at the football or basketball games ushering the crowd and serving concessions.
