Faculty Dethroned By Students Those shapely Bloom cheerleaders that led their team to victory were Ralph Bava, Marion DeGuillio, Terry Tiz, Joe Williams, Jim Fisher, Eddie Ueeck, and Jim Ammirati. (ABOVE) An addition to the annual Student-Faculty game were the “Letter Girls.” Paulette Lobue, Virginia Thompson, Joe Ci- priani, Carol Hecht, and Sandy Mclci keep back the enthusiastic crowds.

Pep-o-rama—A Splashing Success Jeanne DeLuca, Margaret Mearns, Jan Schmidt, and Alice Word are just a few of the many Bloomitcs who had a good time while working on their float for the Pcp-o-rama parade. (RIGHT) “Kill 'em dead!” is the cry of our peppy Frosh-Soph cheerleaders Leanne Petrarca, Nancy Pavlik, Linda Alexander, and Sandy Doyle as they greet Thornridge, our guests for the evening. Eddie Ueeck is the lucky driver. (BELOW) Members of this year’s Spanish Club, “Los Companeros,” portrayed festive Spaniards en- joying one of their traditional bull fights. This entry was one of the twenty-seven that participated. Rain may have dampened the football field the night of the Pep-o-rama parade, but it did not dampen the spirits of the dozens of Bloomites that worked for weeks to prepare their entries for this annual event. This year a record of twenty-seven entries circled the football field to greet the mothers and fathers assembled on Parents’ night, held in con- nection with the Pep-o-rama parade. There were floats depicting everything from Spanish bull fights to our brave and fearless football players. Yes, our Pep-o-rama parade was a splashing suc- cess — rain and all!

Students Display Their Best Side This year’s Courtesy Clean-Up Week, held to promote cleanli- ness and good manners, hosted a variety of activities. Among them was a split assembly which featured the crowning of a king and queen. Court members Jim Ammirati, Brenda Lar- vick, Ron Harris. Bonnie Millen, Bill Helfrick, king; Carolyn Hantak, queen; Ralph Bava, and Anne Borton arc shown just before the coronation. “Ah, come on, Ralph!” seems to be the lament of senior Marilyn School- ing as she picks up the books of her steady, Ralph Bava, on Slave Day. Class Distinction Day brought many strange “get-ups ' to the halls of Bloom. Here Joe Froncek. Steve Nicmczak, Bob Champene, and Gordon Hamilton represent that injured look portrayed by the seniors. 16
