66We've Got Tonighta' On May 8, 1983 the Sophomores had their first date dance. They arrived ready for an exciting night and they were to keep going until eleven o'clock. The theme song We,ve Got Tonight brought a special meaning to the dance. At the end of the dance, the Sophomores and their dates received the traditional mug and ring charm. For the forty couples attending, the three hour dance wasn't enough. Many would extend the night at Pappachino's where further dancing took place. Truly, it was a night to be remembered.

N.....ixxsm F7 Sri! yr The Student Council is a vital segment of St. Laurence serving as an important link bet- ween the students and the administration. Moreover, it helps students to enjoy school more fully. Freshman orientation day was the first task handled by the Council. Shortly afterwards, the Candy Drive arrived, and with the elec- tion of the representatives, the new Council was complete. The Council then played an important role in the Freshman overnighter, book sales, Open House, and school Masses. One of the biggest jobs for the Council, was Homecoming 82? The poster night, button and shirt days, pep rally, and the parade down 79th Street were all preludes to the big football game in which the Vikes crushed Leo by a score of 33-8. That evening, the Vikes celebrated at the dance. The Council then went to work on the clothing, food, and blood drives. The Council raised over 1200 dollars for Muscular Dystrophy, and, to help the retarded and han- dicapped, the Council sold Kiwanis Club peanuts and Tootsie Rolls. The Council kept busy throughout the re- maining school days with more pep rallys, black and gold days, and, of course, regular meetings. Sponsoring the Senior Prom, and other formal dates was taxing, but who will ever forget the 50's-60's Dance, the Beach Parties and the Toga Party? Student Council f 79
