It was shown again at Friday’s pep rally as the Pom Pons put on a mock radio interview of the various football players and Coach Vlasic. The “on the spot reporter” was Debbie Jakubielski and the answers to her questions came in the form of some top 40 hits and some oldies. Their skit made the difference in the pep rally and it was an effec¬ tive way of increasing spirit and unity. Friday night arrived and cars began filling both parking lots and any available space on Chicago Avenue and Hoffman Street. The game was a losing battle for the Morton Gov¬ ernors. It was no difficult task for Coach Vla¬ sic and his chivalric knights to shut out the Governors 23-0. Half time activities brought the crowd a break in the relentless scoring, although they were loving every minute of it. The converti¬ bles rolled out into the chill of the October wind in front of the warm, ecstatic fans that lined the drive. The five candidates were in¬ troduced and escorted onto the platform on the 50 yard line. The moment was here, ev¬ eryone waited anxiously for the announce¬ ment . . . “The 1982 Homecoming Queen is Jill Kozak!” Tears flowed, hugs were exchanged, and the crowds reluctantly rushed off the field to prevent any delay in the start of the second half. The 23-0 defeat of the Governors made Homecoming a truly magical week. Saturday, one last evening to enjoy the spirit, celebrate the victory, and experience the magic at the dance, was here. The music that evening was provided by one of the Calu¬ met Region’s finest, Stonewood Fox. The weather was rainy and warm that evening as the couples danced the night away and at approximately 10:00 p.m. the band took a break and Mr. Touchdown was announced. This year, the award went to Pete Stevenson. The band played for another half hour and finally ended as the couples began leaving on that rainy evening to enjoy a night out spell¬ bound from the week long activities exper¬ iencing the Magic of Camelot. ijnnt? muting (Umtrt Debbie Juscik Candice Trotman Queen Jill ko ak Cher l Macocha Lisa Faulkner HOMECOMING ... 11

Beyond Limitations..., The high school years are very trying for teen¬ agers. In addition to being at a new school, they have to face many new responsibilities. The retreat program was set up to ease the tensions of school life and help the students find out more about them¬ selves to help them learn to relate to others. The Freshmen and Sophomores’ retreat lasts until 2:00 and is held in the basement of St. Marga¬ ret Mary’s Church located right on the Noll cam¬ pus. The Freshmen and Sophomore retreats focus on encouraging students to make new friends and to know themselves better. The Junior retreat is an all day affair at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Hobart. The theme of the Junior retreat is trust. Students learn that they really are dependent on each other and they learn about responsibility. The Senior retreats had been previously held overnight but this year it was changed by order of Bishop Grutka to a two day retreat at All Saints Church in Hammond. Senior retreat prepares the seniors for the future through the experience of affirmation. Retreats allow the students and the faculty to just sit back and not worry about “outside” respon¬ sibilities. Through the day, they share their exper¬ iences through group discussions, private talks,! skits and other planned activities. Time is also set , aside for eating and just playing around. Before each retreat, watches are removed so no one will worry about how much time has passed. And all the retreaters can escape the 8:00-2:00 routine. There are several days that the retreats 5 are scheduled so that the students can choose the most convenient date. The friendships formed and feelings shared are indescribable. Any retreater when asked “How was it?” can only say “It was great!” For the past several years, Sister Arlene has been in charge of the Campus Ministry which in-, eludes the retreat program. The icing on the cake, ' so to speak, is the selfless support by the faculty. Their active involvement in the retreat program carries their concern about each and every stu¬ dents’ academic performance to a much more per¬ sonal and spiritual level. Teachers are more than: instructors, they are true friends, in and out of the classroom. The retreat allows us to go beyond our everyday limitations and find out the most about ourselves and others.
