Already acquainted upperclassmen en¬ ter the familiar building that has come to be known as their school ; excited to see old friends and so interested in mak¬ ing new friends. Somehow, everyone is seemingly indifferent to the reality that school is just around the corner; another academic year is about to begin. During the fifth week of school the entire student body gathered in the fieldhouse to celebrate and affirm the primary reason that Bishop Noll exists- to promote friendship and awareness of others. The priests of BNI con-cele¬ brated the Mass and assisted Bishop Grutka in Communion, readings, singing, etc. The Concert Choir, under the dir ec¬ tion of Fr. Winterlin, lead the student community in the vocal part of the Mass. This celebration marked the beginning of the spiritual year at Noll.

C an you tell where a person is going just by looking at his shoes? Sure, the guy with the cleats is an athlete on his way to a game, right? Wrong. Shoes can be misleading. That guy is the star of the 1979 Noll musical production of Damn Yankees. Most times, though, feet can be a dead give-away. Take, for example, that guy with the cowboy boots, he is on his way to Homecoming 1980: Trails to our Horizons . Those high sandals next to his belong to his date. Prom and Turnabout sport many of the same shoe styles, except that they are in different seasonal colors. They are all rather dressy and most times brand new, making those poor feet just a little uncomfortable. It makes you appreciate those ol ' reliables even more. Those times when we need to relax and let-go, retreats give us the opportu¬ nity to shed our shoes, for awhile, at least. Returning to school, we are ready to great old friends and those favorite shoes. Could we ever live without them? Top left: Kenneth Nunn and his date do a little socializing at Homecoming 79.

Winterlin, vocal director and Mr. Malczak, producer director receive their appreciation trophies from the cast and crew of Damn Yankees. (cont ' d) on the second day to explain procedures and to sign-up. This marks the start of endless days of voice testing, reading and anticipation; hoping that your name will appear on the Entire Cast List that will be posted on the door of the auditorium. It does seem to be a very insane ritual, yet it is all worth¬ while. In the end, what is enjoyed the most is the friendships that are made and the togetherness shared by all, mak¬ ing all the hard work fun. So, orientation-social, spiritual and academic—was all that we hoped it would be; an exciting beginning to an exciting school year in a brand new decade!
