7 rte tt- Talent wasn ' t always synonomous with class, but at Cardinal Newman it was an- other way of showing the class within us. We had various ways of exemplifying this talent including, Drama, Forensics, Choral, and Art. In the Drama depart- ment, amatuer actors walked the boards in acting classes and in the Newman pro- ductions and Thespian Festivals. Foren- sics is the art of competitive public speak- ing and it encompassed everything from Student Congress to Poetry Interpreta- tion. Everyone at Newman was aware of the National Forensic League ' s talents because they heard them twice a day at announcement time. Many students were active in the numerous choral groups like the Show Choir, Girls Ensemble, Boys and Girls quartets, Girls Chorus and Con- cert Chorus. At many area concerts and festivals, Newman singers displayed their gifts of song, garbed in tastefull and color- full costumes. The most tangible of these talents was Art. Out of the art room came many paintings, sculptures and artistic creations that adorned the library and the Central Office, for the students and facul- ty to enjoy. Artwork was also submitted for the yearbook and the newspaper. Maybe the new Katherine Hepburns, Ad- lai Stevensions, Luciano Pavorattis and Picassos were being propagated here. If talent is another word for class then Car- dinal Newman High School had more than it ' s share. Opening 9

watched each other helping others, a tru- ly class way of sharing oneself! Newman students, faculty and Admin- istration showed their care and concern for those less fortunate than themselves in many ways throughout the school year. Afternoons and week-ends were often spent participating in various fundraising activities such as the Leukemia Swim-a- thon, the MD Bowl-a-thon, etc. Everyone also pitched in and helped with the Stu- dent Council sponsored Blood Drive, both in donating blood and in helping to run the Blood Drive itself. There are those few, rare individuals who give of themselves, quietly, com- pletely, without expecting anything in re- turn. Newman was lucky to have many of these people one of whom was English teacher, Miss Ann Kitts. Miss Kitts worked throughout the year, with stu- dents who had drug problems. She worked with common sense but also with a smile. Generous with her experience and knowledge, she gave of herself, ask- ing nothing in return. Bob Collins, a sophomore from Lake Park was another of those individuals who shared himself without expecting praise in return. Bob was a volunteer fire- man in his community, often answering calls at all hours of the night. Bob ex- pressed his motivation for his work in this way, When I do something to save a person ' s life and or property, I have a feeling of pride. The pride that Bob spoke of is the pride that all Newmanites felt when they Opening 11
