Sickness which had seemed to become extinct became alive again with the ideas of Walton, St. John, and Nauman. They were mostly seen in the stands at the basketball games wearing togas, swimming trunks, long Johns, or jockey shorts. The purpose of the club was to encourage and psych up the fans to get live, loud, and most of all to support our Bengals. Those involved should be proud of then sick selves.

The sophomores' winning team. The freshmen are momentarily dumbfounded Benedictine held an academic challenge of its own this year. The National Honor Society sponsored the scholastic competition between each of the four classes. The sophomores emerged victorious, while the seniors came in last with -20 points. However, the seniors were the sickest and proved to be the real winners. Seniors T.d, Bill, and Ken discuss strategy. Activities 71 STUDENT COUNCIL Moderated by Father Jude, the Student Council was active again this year. They held a toy drive and delivered many goods to needy areas. They also held many student exchanges. The main event of the school year sponsored by the Student Council was the Gong Show. The top prize of $25 was won by the Bengal Breaking Force. The winning group was composed of St. John, Dejohn, Saffold, Ellis, Kramer, and DiCicco. The lack of sick acts was the only disappointment of the show. Front Row, Left to Right: P. Kubek, Sec. M.

When not in trouble for the various office activities of its staff, (including darts and basketball), the Bennet was criticized for its |ournalistic content, despite its fourth consecutive first place rating from Columbia University. In an effort to make money, the Bennet sponsored its first annual Christmas Ball, which was moderately successful, a St. Valentine's dance that broke even and a parent's oldies dance that lost $20. Nevertheless, the Bennet broke even for the first time in many years. Fim Row. l ft to Right S Avtlf.l) Karlik, K Kyilf.l Pjwj ;«•. P C� mW, M Gnu !nJ Row Browne. f «no� � y. M HulunJ. R Ronth.

Entering the 1983 football season the Bengals had only one thing on their minds — to regain the state football title. However, this dream did not come true as the Bengals finished with a record of 6 wins and 3 losses. This statistic is misleading because only a clipping penalty, a kickoff return, and a blocked punt kept them out of the playoffs. Three plays, three mistakes stood between them and a possible state title. Two of their losses came to teams which qualified for the state playoffs. There was much talent on this team, but the big guns weren't discovered until the end of the season. Aggressiveness and determination were present, but when the Bengals relaxed for a few minutes trouble seemed to always set in. This year's team, however, did reach a milestone earning the school's 300th victory since the first game in 1929. Another highlight was the win over St. Ignatius in the final seconds. This victor)' put the Bengals one win ahead of the Iggy gridders in our all-time series. Coach Augie Bossu a Bengal legend. 84 Athletics Second and six. Ken back to pass.
