Cascia Hall High School - Towers (Tulsa, OK)

Opening Not only were we treated to a beautiful new Science and Math Center at the opening of school, but also a new Dean of Men and a new lounge area. The Cascia Hall vs. Holland Hall football game was also a main event which attracted much attention in the second week of school. We all received a fine first impression of the new Math and Science Center. Its air-conditioned rooms provided much needed relief from the August heat. However, this comfort was only to be temporary as the cooling system broke down in mid-September. Then the situation became worse as the building, heavily insulated and unaccustomed to natural ventilation, produced stifling heat. This was corrected, though, as soon as possible and the new building once again became cool and comfortable.

RIGHT: STUDENTS spend an afternoon in jug with Brother Krol. Men, Bro. Iohn Krol, overhauled and revamped many established disciplin- ary policies on his arrival at Cascia Hall. Most noteworthy is the new tardy policy. At orientation students were shocked to learn that when tardy they had to stand at attention after school for forty-five minutes. Many did not believe this at first and had to learn the hard way. Needless to say, tardiness has greatly diminished at Cascia since the opening of school.

Nevertheless, life was not restrict- ed to work. The mild weather drew people from their television sets to a variety of outdoor activities. Pick-up football and basketball games at Marquette were not uncommon. Boon- docking at the river was also popular. People also went out of town to the area lakes. Guy deVerges and Graham Shirkey roughed it in Graham's aircon- ditioned lakeside mansion, where, after a hard day cruising in his aircondi- tioned boat, they would trudge wearily homeward to relax in front of one of three color TV's. Some of us did not enjoy these luxuries in Todd Skinner's trailer at Grand Lake. But this did not slow us down. Loaded with a multitude of carbonated refreshments and bottle rockets, we clamored aboard Todd's Hoby Cat sailboat where, after a day on the lake, we suffered only one casualty: Terry Finegan succumbed to sunburn. Later in the summer, Todd travelled to Ireland with his mother where a 170 mile per hour sports car was at his disposal. The Cullinans went to Gan- ada, Fr. Hamill to Europe, and Mr. Hall to St. Louis. Mike Howard, Keith Walker and Bill Aitken travelled to North Carolina for the National Youth in Government Conference. Some students began to plan ahead for the coming year. Several upperclass- men attended preliminary Homecoming meetings. Dedicated athletes stayed active in summer baseball and basket- ball leagues and the football team began two-a-days in early August. This summer, though, had more than its share of tragedy. Two students, Hunt Rhodes and Randy Lamar, were both killed in separate car accidents. Their deaths and the funerals held in the school chapel gave a somber tone to the summer and the opening of school. Those of us who knew them will never forget them. Those who did not lost the opportunity to know and love two fine young men. TOP: ERIC Biggerstaff keeps the shelves stocked at the Wilderness Adventurer.

-. iq Long time students also encoun- tered a revised student center upon entering the school in late August: new sofas and tables. The sofas were purchased by Fr. Peck from some unknown source . The tables were constructed here on campus by Cascia's own maintenance crew. These sofas and tables were received by the student body with great appreciation. The once-bleak and uncomfortable student center was transformed into a colorful and convenient place to work and relax.

This crosstown rivalry goes back many years with Cascia winning ten of the games and losing only five. Like every year this years game turned out to be a great one with Cascia beating Holland Hall 21-18 This was the first time in three years that Cascia beat Holland Hall. This years team finally reestablished an old
