Suited To A T My blouse was in the wash, My dog chewed it up, The baby I sat for threw up on it, were all excuses used when trying to vary the uniform code. The sim- plest way to get out of needing an excuse was to join an organization that had T- shirts. On designated days members of these organizations could come out of uniform. This gave the students a slight change, the chance to be a little different, and to gain a bit of attention for them- selves and their organization. As chorus director, Mrs. Ann Hoyt was responsible for three groups of shirts. The Show Choir wore shirts bearing the name Rainbow Connection, as did the chorus Southern Sounds and the Ging- ham Girls Fantasia . The sports program was also responsi- ble for majority of T-shirts. Teams such as Cross Country, Bowling, Softball, Ten- nis, Track, Soccer, Wrestling and Volley- ball added to the T-shirt population. The Accolade staff was a club that wore T-shirts to attract attention. Their shirts were baseball jerseys that repre- sented the Yearbook ' s theme A Touch of Class . The Fellowship of Christian Athletes was also responsible for a change of pace in the dress code. Many times during the year students could be seen with T-shirts on and said to be in uniform. 212 Student Life

A Mass With Class Ring Day Mass was important especially for seniors and their families. It was not only a mass at which Seniors had their class rings blessed, but also a time for the students to be welcomed back as Seniors. Ring Day Mass was a time for everyone to congratu- late the seniors for making it this far, and to wish them luck in the struggles that they will meet in the upcoming year. The mass was celebrated in honor of the seniors with Senior class moderator, Father Lemoncelli giving a very special homily. The parents were invited to attend and join the students and faculty in the celebration. Afterwards Juniors gave a reception com- plete with punch and an assortment of deli- cious desserts. For the mass, Seniors were allowed to come out of uniform and many took the opportunity to dress in their finest attire. Everyone looked very special on this special day. The one particular purpose for Ring Day Mass was to reunite the Senior class and the faculty, joining them for the Seniors final year here at Newman. 214 Student Life
