It all began with the Kinks. No, not the ones in the chicken-wire, but the music that was blaring from the many cars that had filled the famous Sticker Bowl The Seniors had been up all night and were off to a roaring start. As of 9 O ' Clock neither the Sophomores nor the Juniors had a trailer. Freshmen were des- perately trying to assemble a float and paint at the same time. In front of the cafeteria, Juniors were painting the many signs that were to soon cover their trailer- less float. At 9:05 a Murphy construction truck arrived with the Junior ' s trailer, much to their relief. At 9:38 the lumber arrived for the Seniors and the towering masts went up. The Sophomore ' s subma- rine arrived via the Magil trailer. It must have been Spring, for flowers were pop- ping up all over the field. The Sopho- mores were busy designing signs in the raquetball court. At 10:00 the music was about the only thing moving; the students were in their mid-morning slump. The Seniors, instead of working on the ce- ment, chose the hood of Erin Peter ' s car for painting, and Bill DelGrosso ' s hood for papermacheing. At 10:15 the sun be- gan to rise on the Sophomore ' s float and clouds began to form. Rest time came during lunch when slowly each class went and returned from the cafeteria. After lunch the work load doubled and time began to be the determining factor. The Seniors completed the finishing touches on their float at 1:45. Meanwhile, the Juniors were still assembling their float. The Freshmen had been finished for over an hour and the Sophomore ' s squid was oozing right along. At last, the moment of truth! After the peprally the floats were displayed in the 2nd annual Float Parade for everyone to see. It was a lot of work, said Doug DeSantis, Senior, but the cheers of ap- proval were worth every minute of it. Ashes To Ashes, Dust To Dust Student Life 230

November 20, 1981 marked an impor- tant day for the class of 1982. It was the last high school football game and the last Homecoming. The Senior Spirit really shone through during Homecoming week with the Seniors winning in the over-all competition. Although it was typical that seniors win Homecoming competition, the class of ' 82 broke that record as Sophomores with their Sophomore Ma- nia Theme and again as Juniors with Ruff and Rowdie. Even though the Ju- niors won the pep rally this past year, the Seniors still Went Bananas. Leslie Kintz, a Senior, said I think that Home- coming week was a great success. Fr. Hank Lemoncelli summed up his feelings be saying Homecoming week, without the help of all involved, would have been impossible. So, thanks to all , Home- coming 1981 was unforgetable.
