GHOST OF A MEAL “ Being at school all day on Saturday was hard work, but it was all worth it in the end.” Amy Hughes All 136 Seniors met on the morning of October 18 to celebrate a class Mass together and to bring three pies (one more than in previous years) in prep- aration for that afternoon’s Spaghetti Supper. After many years of spring suppers the event was moved back to its original fall location. The theme, Halloween, seemed ap- propriate because of the fall date. Seniors wore costumes that ranged from traditional witch and monster costumes to girls in army fatigues. The theme Halloween gave people creative choices for costumes,” said senior Jane Miller. In the annual event, 1,508 meals were served by the seniors supervised by Fr. Dave Steinle and many faculty members. All seniors seemed to have fun in preparing and serving the dinner. The seemingly not dangerous preper- ations went well except for a small incident with Fr. Steinle's finger. The Spaghetti Supper was a lot of fun and it created a great sense of Senior unity,” stated senior Sara Broderick. The large crowd was credited to the great weather and,of course, to the delicious meal that was served. Junior Jennie Hancock said, It looks like a lot of fun and I am looking forward to becoming a Senior and taking part in it.” The student chairpersons were Dawn McQueen and Carrie Panther who were in charge of the twenty-two committees of Seniors. Everything went really smoothly but it was hard work getting everything ready, said senior Dawn McQueen.

Tuesday January 26, a pep assembly took place featuring cheers from the sophomore and var- sity squads, not to mention two dance performances by Knight Kompany. Finally the big moment everyone was waiting for arrived and Mr. Tom Sunderbruch announced the court in alphabetical order, John Gluba, Steve McIntosh. Mark Panther, and Ray Poston. Everyone held their breath as Mr. Sunderbruch announced, “The 1988 Turnabout King is . . . Steve Schneider!! Thunderous applause and cheering from the student body took place, to such a degree, that Steve stood with the microphone in his hand for minutes before he was able to address the school. Steve thanked the senior class and promoted the upcoming boys' and girls' basketball games. On Saturday, January 30, the day of Turnabout, from 9 a.m. to noon a number of students decorated the cafeteria with streamers, balloons, and the theme, “STAY THE KNIGHT, written on the wall. Jenny Trilk took charge ahead of time, by designing the Turnabout ticket and painting the backdrop of a city skyline. Turnabout night usually consisted of the girl picking up her date, an exchange of a corsage and a boutoniere, pictures, and meeting friends to double with. Couples went to dinner at a variety of places from the Jubilee on the Boardwalk across the river in Moline to the girl’s house, all of which was the girls treat. The dance lasted from 8 to 10 p.m. as opposed to previous dances which were held from 9pm to midnight. Junior Katie Klein stated, The dance was too short because by the time we got there and pictures were through and we only had time for a couple of dances. Junior Scott Klein agreed saying, The dance was fun although it was unfortunate that it was so short, an extra 45 minutes tacked on the end would have really made a difference.” Music was provided by D.J. Jerry Pelletier of radio station KIIK 104. Sophomore Vince Burke said, I liked the D.J. better than a band because he played a lot of different kinds of music and everyone seemed to dance a lot. The king and his court were once again announced. After dance festivities included quiet movies for two or loud rockin' house parties. “Even though the previous turnabout dances were fun, nothing in the world could compare this one.” King Steve Schneider Fr. Dave Steinle gives words of congratulations to the Turnabout King and his court after the pep rally. Turnabout
