It ' s truly a labor of love, however, be¬ cause something magical and wonderful begins to happen to the cast and crew. They begin to feel a commitment to¬ ward one another; they support and af¬ firm each other, and become a produc¬ tive, caring family unit. Each is eager to help and aid the others to be great! Damn Yankees , the Noll tradition of excellence. There may have been mo¬ ments of disappointment, even despair, but everyone from the seasoned se¬ nior to the frightened freshman met the challenge and proved beyond a doubt that they had heart .

MUSICAL 11 W ork on Damn Yankees started al¬ most as soon as school did. With performance dates set for November 9, 10, 11, 16, 17 and 18, a tight schedule had to be established and kept. Present¬ ing a play can be compared to putting a giant jigsaw puzzle together. All the pieces are jumbled at first; but slowly, painstakingly, all the many parts start fit¬ ting together and taking shape. Much time, effort, patience and perserverance is needed to build the production-one missing piece can mar the whole ap¬ pearance. Ultimately, however, they all come together and form a beautifully gloriou s picture. Under the careful guidance and direc¬ tion of Mr. Malczak, director; Fr. Winter- lin, choral director; Mr. Lesniak, orches¬ tra director; and Miss Capellari, costume and make-up co-ordinator, Damn Yan¬ kees took shape. Casting was done, vo¬ cal and dancing choruses formed, sets designed and constructed, costumes made, danced choreographed, make¬ up, props and lighting proposed. Then came the long, endless rehearsals to achieve excellence and professionalism. Getting involved in a play at Noll re¬ quires a total commitment, rehearsing after school, evenings and weekends. You live, sleep and eat Damn Yankees.

Homecoming Madness A s the drums echoes its war chant a young warrior gazes across a grid marked prairie. The anticipation mounts as he ponders the upcoming battle-his last homecoming game. The scene was set, the time and place were exact. The final ingredient was then added, a warrior victory. On October 5, the Bishop Noll Warriors triumphed over the Gavit Gladiators with a score of 29 to 0. In addition to this victory, at halftime the 1979 homecoming queen, Patty Roque, was crowned and members of her court were introduced: Judy Evans, Becky Kerger, Karen Stack, and Jackie Young. The events at the game, how¬ ever, were only highlights of the 1979 Homecoming Trails to Our Horizons. The planning of Homecoming began many moons ago. Throughout the sum¬ mer, work-sessions were held by chair¬ person Karen Stack and co-chairpersons Patty Roque, Nancy Moss, and Jackie Young. They worked to create a western atmosphere which began a roundup of activities leading back to the Old West. Spirit days enabled students to dress as western characters, cowboys and in- dians.
