Members spent much time sharing their feelings about God and their faith during the small group portions of their meetings. Another of the year’s activities was the FCA Parents’ Night.

Much time and effort was involved in decorat- ing the halls and the gym for Spirit Week. Posters were hung on the walls expressing support for the athletic pro- grams. Each class was assigned a hall- way in the school which it was to deco- rate. On Friday the hallways were judged by a faculty vote on how well they illustrated the theme.

On Wednesday evening, the Neu- mann community participated in a pep rally in downtown Wahoo. King and Queen candidates rode to the pep rally on a hayrack, where they were intro- duced and made slight fun of by the cheerleaders in the usual pep rally skit. To conclude the evenings' events, stu- dents and parents alike gathered in the school's parking lot for a spirit bonfire. Football tri-captains threw a dummy dressed like a Cathedral football player into the fire to give everyone an idea of what would happen to the Cardinals at Friday night’s game. The prediction came true with the Cavaliers setting the field and the Cardinals on fire with their offense and defeating Cathedral 42-7
