A Halloween party, Christmas party, field trip to the Art Institute and a French restaurant, and monthly meetings were many of the activities of the club. St. Laurence members were also joined by the Queen of Peace French Club. The Lettermans' Club re-emerged this year. A great number of Varsity athletes were gathered as members. The main event ofthe year was the Dunkathon. Here students received a chance to dunk their favorite teachers.

'1- Freshman Overnighter A unique experience occurs in Oc- tober. For in this month, the Freshman Class is encouraged to attend the Freshman Overnighter. At the over- nighter, the Freshmen challenge their strength, courage, and stamina in trying to stay up the entire night. There were various games throughout the night. The video contest, chess tour- nament, and basketball tournament helped bring the Freshman Class 11. together by competition. Movies were shown in the cafeteria for those who wished to take a break and relax, but no sleeping was allowed. Serious poker games were played. The hours rolled by and without any announcement, six o'clock had arrived. Many conquered the night, but each freshman will never forget the coziness that was felt when finally hitting the sack after the long night.

Mr. Smerz jokingly said that the team was in a rebuilding year. However, on a more serious note, he said that with the return of many skillful players, next year's team would be the most promising he has moderated. Students who participated in the Math Club will never forget those early morning tests. Under the moderation of Mr. Fowler, members competed in state wide tests such as A.P.A.C. and l.L.M.L. Those mindboggling tests will forever remain in mathletes memories. Clubs f 73
