ield Day The Field Day, sponsored by the Stu- dent Councils and B. D. and Angela Merici, had to be postponed because of rain, but after a week of waiting, it finally took place on Wednesday, October 1, 1975. The schools were divided into two divi- sions: Frosh-Soph and Junior-Senior home- rooms. The B.D. students set out competing in such events as the 220-yard dash, relay races, Push-Bali, frisbe toss, and other field events in the morning. One homeroom win- ner was decided from each division. Home- room 212 carried off the Frosh-Soph divi- sion honors. As the girls streamed in at lunch time, the events turned to the light side with the girls and boys competing side-by-side in the dizzy-lizzy, locomotive, sack race, and the balloon toss. David Evel Lyons attempted his tradi- tional spectacular Mud Puddle Jump . Not breaking with tradition, Evel ' s jump stopped midway and he ended up in the mud puddle, bicycle and all. The day culminated with the traditional tug-of-war over the specially created mud hole. With the B.D. homerooms teamed with the A.M. homerooms, it was a messy way to end a spectacular day. 1Tb ABOVE: Cringing with the thought of his balloon bursting, Dana Mattingly safely completes the catch.

Suddenly, but very slowly, the figures emerged from the dense mist . . . Sound like an Agatha Christie mystery thriller? Wrong! It was a thriller, but not by Dame Agatha. It was by Bishop David and it was entitled, Crowning of a Spirit Week Queen. The action took place at Manual Stadium the night of October 10, 1975 and the main characters were: Susie Burke, escorted by John Zinninger; Janet Eaton, escorted by Joe Milliner; Donna Hagen, escorted by Joe Clayton; Cheryle Thompson, escorted by Tim Kannapel; Ann Poston, escorted by B.D. grad Bob Kalkbren- ner; and Debbie Tuss, escorted by Mike Dale. The plot went something like this. To cap off other Spirit Week festivities, such as, Frosh Bunco Party and Button Day, the Angela Merici students picked 6 girls whom they wanted as Spirit Week princesses. Then the entire B.D. student body voted on their choice for queen. Then, as the plot thickened, on that fog- gy, foggy Friday night, while the football team was in the locker room at half time, the princesses and their escorts lined up on the field, anxiously awaiting the name of the winner. When the name of senior, Cheryle Thompson was called, everyone clapped and cheered. She was crowned by her sister, Melodye, escorted by B.D. grad, Dale Pike. Melodye just happened to be the 1974 queen. As in all good stories, everyone lived hap- pily ever after because the footballers beat Butler 22-0 and the queen and her court reigned in regal glory.
