| ome wasn't built in a day and nei- ther was AN EVENING IN PARADISE. It takes a lot more than palm trees and moonlight to make Homecoming work. Days, weeks and months before the evening arrived Chairpersons Kim Kovacik and Carol Kendra worked with Student Council to create a perfect evening. They found that they had so many great ideas for paradise that they decided to make the previous week follow the theme. So began Spirit Week, with class color day, clown day, tropical color day, pi- rate day and finally class gimmick day, when freshmen wore sunglasses, soph- omores grew noses, juniors sported hats and seniors sprouted antennae. All this had a purpose, besides being an opportunity to act crazy. Each class was given points for the number of people dressing according to the daily theme, the number of entries in the pa- rade, the winning of silly contests and the volume of their cheers at the pep rally. The class which accumulated the most points at the end of Homecoming week received the Spirit award. This year the junior class won the award, which broke with the traditional senior victory. Because of the premature death of Pope John Paul I the Friday pep assem- bly was cancelled, but that didn’t stop HH Left: Seniors Jill McLaughlin and Jeff Kolbus participate in Spirit Week’s Clown day Below: Freshmen Lucy Chapa, Roselyn Portone, Linda Matthews, and Cathy Balitewicz work in the halls on tying paper flowers to the wire for their float. the Warriors from wiping the Senators off the field with a score of 56-0. To cli- max the victory Mary Lynn Tolin was crowned Homecoming Queen at halftime. The highlight of a perfect week was the dance, an evening long anticipated. The cafeteria was decorated like a tropical island with the band TO- GETHER providing the music. Soph- omore Theresa Gonzalez felt that, “the band was the best that Noll has ever had”. As the evening drew to a close, Chuck Barrett was crowned Mr. Touchdown. All those who attended the dance can now say they had an Evening in Paradise.

Beginning of the End t all begins on August 24th and I 25th. This is where we set our foundation, Orientation at Bishop Noll seniors and freshmen on the 24th, juniors and sophomores on the 25th. Everything runs as hectic as ex- pected—pay the tuition, get the schedule, wonder what can you pos- sibly do with four study halls every day, decide between the used Math book with 56 unimportant pages missing or a new book for 25 dollars, try to talk to a counselor about those four studies, buy the new book, then finally try to locate your friends and find out what they did all summer. Nothing really changes when it comes to students. You can always tell who is who by just listening. If you hear, “I’m going to get lost. I know I’m going to get lost!’, you know that is a freshman, or if you see a student sweating blood you know he is a sophomore and some senior has informed him that he has that one teacher who carries the whip and chain. If you hear, “We don’t have any classes together this year!” (long moan), you can be sure those two are juniors. And if you hear, “ARRGGH!, Not another year of that teacher, she drives me nuts!” there is no doubt about it, that is a senior.
