Of the myriad organizations on the busy campus, which one boasts the names of the acknowiedged leaders? Which made the Homecoming dance truly “Moments to Re- member”? Which always works for the stu- dents? The Student Council is the answer! Seniors Mike Redmond and Tom Lardner, Juniors Tom Abbott and Bill Bernardi, Soph- omores John Campbell and Jim Tures are typical of the elected leaders of this group. The Student Council quietly but efficiently sees to it that there will be men like Tom Ramella to build a bonfire for the Homecom- ing or Jim Mangan and Bob Blondis to change the Frosh rec room into “Moments to Remember” for the Homecoming dance. The Council makes certain that there will be a Mike Redmond and a Tom Lardner to decor- ate the dining hall into a “Gay Eighties Sa- loon” for the senior mixer and a Tom Abbott to turn the same hall into a dreamland called “Misty” for the sophomores and juniors to dance in. It provides a Bill Corrigan and a Joe Hilt to extend Campion hospitality to vis- iting teams and a Bill Bernardi and John Campbell to work for the underclassmen. 26

'h Extra-Curricular Organizations Life without variety is dull and uninspired — it is life without color. But Campion is colorful, and sons of Cam- pion become part of her color scheme by their zestful and vital participation in the var- ied extra-curricular organiza- tions which produce the color- ful life of Campion. The or- ator, the cadet, the actor, each has his opportunity to contribute some shade, some hue to the vibrant panorama St Pe,er Cl'ver' S J ind S A|Ph° ‘° Rodri»u«- jMuit of this colorful life. Long ago, the two men portrayed here contributed to a larger scheme of things, each by ac- tivity that suited his person- ality — St. Peter Claver as apostle, St. Alphonsus as hum- ble servant. Each contributed by personalized activity; so too does each student make his personalized contribution to Colorful Campion.

I Stressed sludvnt participation at Mass What’s a “backward Mass?” Turning an altar around so that the priest faced the stu- dents was the first attempt of the Apostleship of Prayer — the school spiritual organization for the entire student body — to increase stu- dent Mass participation. The “backward Mass,” Missa Recitata, the singing of High Masses, and Offertory processions were the ways the A. P. succeeded in making the re- enactment of Calvary appear to the students what it really is. Both Mr. Egan, S.J., and Mr. Lucey, S.J., the moderators, along with the student pro- moters, set the wheels in motion for this and other projects. Among these were the en- rollment of the students in the A. P., the consecration of the school in the League of the Sacred Heart, communions of reparation during Advent and Lent, obtaining more spiritual reading material for retreat, and the enrollment of the families of the Campion students in the League of the Sacred Heart. Mass facing the students increased student participation. Front Row: Mr. Lucey, A. Skemp, J. Holm, M. Burke, Meis, Merz, Mr. Egan. 2nd Row: Witt, Lynn, Pike, F. Foley, D.
