3 'Q a . ,ui A typical Bellarmine mixer can be described in one word: success. Once again this year, the ASB Treasurer and Secretary were able to fill the gym with music and crazy people who danced their way home. The reputation of a Bellarmine mixer and the ability to attract a Food band are the two major factors eading to success. Add the fact that Bellarmine is an all boy's school 7 and you can t miss. With the organziation and publicity of each mixer maintained by ASB officers Mike Fitzsimmons and James Reilley, along with such bands as Backroads , Hush , and Telluride , the ASB funds benefited greatly. Naturally, the most attractive and successful mixer this year was the Papa Du Run Da Run dance. Lines flooded the area outside the gym as girls danced to the music before getting inside. Bellarmine received some bad news concernin mixers late in the year. The Fire Bepartment informed the school that since the gym was a fire hazard, the number of people able to attend mixers was limited to five hundred. This, coupled with an increase in price, changed the feelin s of people toward mixers a little, gut the gym remained filled on Saturday nig ts.

Jim Fitzhenry, Larry good, and Larry Eder each put in 1,000 miles over the summer, all in preparation for the coming season in the fall. Cross Country is simply running long distances in hills, fields, and trai s. Race distances range from 2 to 3 miles. In order to prepare for a race, a good runner will run anywhere from 10 to 18 miles a daly. That's between 60 and 108 mi es a week for a 3 mile race on the weekend. Race courses vary widely. Surfaces can be grass, dirt, rock, pavement and sand. Trails wind through trees, over hills, and alongside oceans and streams. Weather is an important factor during races, also. Wind, rain, and temperature all effect a runner's race strategy.
