KEEPI G FIT for . . . Twice a week we would reluctantly trudge down to the gymnasium. don our gym suits. and amble out onto the floor. First we would line up and begin those exercises devised to form sound body, sound mind. And next-al- ways-we would groan about the hard work- out we had been given. Only in looking back, do we realize the im- portant part physical development played in our education for maturity. Its value was not only in the strong and healthy bodies it tried to pro- vide, but also in the moral qualities it engen- dered. Through hard work we learned the meaning of endurance and built in ourselves a framework for self-mastery. 'O ,.., Q X121 Anyone who walks the corridors of C.D. will see splints and crutches as witnesses to the inevitable injuries of athletic com- petition. Fortunately, those have never been grave nor perma- nent in the supervised program of our school. And no com- petitor doubts that the chance to play is worth the risk of discomfort. In Father Walmsley's oflice, Brian O'Neill, like many of our athletes, receives treatment for a football injury.

ACTIVITIE Extracurricular activities play a large part in the development of each CD stu- dent. The great variety of our interests is met by an equal variety of activities that are offered. In sports it's both the player and spectators who help carry our glory far and wide. Our dances and proms leave us with memories we will always cherish. We show off our talents in the production of musicals and plays. In our clubs we broaden the scope of our classroom learn- ing: in our publications we record all these happenings. It is these extracurricular ac- tivities in which we make the friends and memories that will remain with us long after graduation.
