Being a Senior, Maureen Kloss is familiar with the Christine Zaradnick wel- rooms throughout Kennedy, comes her mom to Parent's She helps guide a parent to Night. the correct room. Parents, students, and the community sometimes get to see Kennedy from the ... Outside Looking In Kennedy is a special place. Students and faculty experience Ken- nedy’s atmosphere on a daily basis, but they are not the only people who witness our school's spirit. Often, throughout the school year, the ad- ministration organizes ac- tivities which allow “out- siders” a good look at the inside of Kennedy’s halls. Back to School Night in September provided a chance for parents to get acquainted with their child’s teachers. They went to the student’s respective classes and spoke to the teachers about the class. Sister Mary Joseph, Studies Director, describes the purpose of the night: “We wanted the teachers, in their presentation, to provide the parents with what they expected from their classes, their grading system, and the content of their course.” The eighth grade classes of the feeder parishes in surrounding communities visit Kennedy on a special In-Service day. On November 14, grade school students were treated to a day filled with the variety that Kennedy offers. The day began with a liturgical service and a few words from guest speaker Ed Stivender. Af- ter going through a series of course introductions, the eighth graders com- peted in school teams in an obstacle course set up in Tracy Hall. The Night at the Races, run by the grid club, is a fund raiser whose profits go toward the general fund for all of Kennedy’s sports and activities. Parents are admitted for a dollar and bet on a filmed horse race. Although this year was not as successful as some of the others, it did manage to raise about $2,000 for the school. I think people need to un- derstand that it raises money for the entire school activity and sport program, not just foothall, says Mr. Bockrath who directed this year's event. “The lack of attendance hurt but I think that was due to the fact that the night has run its course and that people really need to realize that it is a fund raising event.” 10

Although Terp is only around the corner, working in her son's office, her par- ting left a void in the lives of the students. During the opening liturgy of the school year, the faculty and student body honored Terp for her twenty eight years of dedication and ser- vice, endless support and un- dying love for the students. Today's seniors, yesterday's freshman, get tips from Terp on how to do it right. 12
