dwdms f a Chlld ?lov! A well known fact among Newman stu- dents was that they had to study, that is if they had the desire to graduate from Car- dinal Newman High School. The ques- tions which remain are: where, when, how, and why do students study? A very logical answer to the first question was Cardinal Newman ' s very own library. It has always been a very tranquil spot, open both before and after school, and had a wealth of information. Since the library was open in the morning, before school and until 3:30 in the afternoons, the question when? had already been answered. How? Open the book from which one wishes to study and begin re- viewing or reading the material. If extra research was required, Newman has sev- eral knowledgeable librarians who have always been here, especially to assist Newman students in finding what they wanted. The final question to be an- TOP: Senior John Paoletti studies in the library during lunch. BOTTOM: Pauleen Walsh, senior, crams for a sec- ond period test during first period. swered was why, and often so much studying, one certainly ought to know! Of course, these are just the basic where ' s, when ' s, how ' s, and why ' s. There are oth- ers which many students found more con- venient or desirable. For instance, all Newmanites remembered that late night cramming in bed, in front of the T.V., or at the kitchen table! And then there was the review in the carpool on the way to school, or studying during each of the three classes before THE TEST AND still feeling as if none of that information could be recalled during the test. Also, the great majority of students had the sickening feeling of defeat and failure days before the test, and for that New- man Students do not make this their com- mon study system, as regular studying will warrant much better results, from both the old report card, and the par- ents! gt ft , ► ABOVE An unidentifiable Newman student takes refuge from the photographer behind his studies.

Juniors Establish A Tradition Bound For Rebound! It all started on a hot afternoon in Jan- uary. The Junior class officers and repre- sentatives were together trying to think of a way to make money for prom and a way to promote Basketball Spirit. The Juniors, in their usual brilliant manner, came up with a solution to both problems with one answer. That answer was a Re- bound Week, similar to Homecoming Week only on a smaller scale. The reason for the reduction in activities was that Rebound Week was planned for the week before the visitation of the school ' s ac- creditation team, The theme, We love the Crusaders was chosen and organiza- tional meetings with other class officers and moderators were held in Rm 205. Rebound Week began on February 1, 1982 with the Freshmen in school, out of uniform. On Tuesday, Sophoores were allowed to come out of uniform. Wednes- day brought an in-school victory over At- lantic. Girl ' s Basketball team and the Sen- iors were out of uniform. Thursday was the day for Juniors out of uniform and the final day of preparation for a highly com- petitive Banner contest. Friday, everyone dressed in red to go with the theme of We Love the Crusaders and the day ended with a rousing Pep Rally that was won by the spirited sophomores. During the Pep Rally all members of the girls and boys Varsity JV freshmen Basketball teams were introduced, along with the candidates for Sweetheart King and Queen. The Pep Rally concluded with the announcement Banner Contest winner the senior class. The week concluded with a highly suc- cessful dance that featured the music of Rockingham. At the dance the candidates were again introduced. Vicky Peacock and Jim O ' Rourke represented the Fresh- men. Marni Schnerder and Kurt Stelzer represented the sophomores. Anne Titsel and John Carney were the Junior repre- sentatives and Erin Peters and Chris Mc- Kenna represented the Seniors. In an election that seemed most appropriate for the hard-working Juniors, Ann Titsel was crowned Newman ' s first Sweetheart Queen and Chris McKenna the school ' s first King. Rebound Week was such a success that everyone felt it was the beginning of a school tradition. Coach Arbogast was most appreciative and thanked all of those involved, during the Pep Rally. Ju- nior Class President Matt McGrath, per- haps the most involved student in all of the activities of the week commented, We worked hard but we also had a good time. Best of all it was for a good cause! 240 Student Life
