Fall With the coming of autumn, many school-related activities began to take place. The largest of these events was the football season. Virtually every member of the student body became involved in one way or another. Players, managers, and new head coach Frank Grimm were in the spotlight most of the time, however, many other students from both Cascia and Monte Cassino gained recognition as first class fans. Under the management of Cas- cia's only National Merit Semifinalist, Bill Wynn, I-lemi's became a popular post-game hangout for upperclassmen. After a hard fought victory, fans and team members alike would adjourn to Hemi's for excellent pizza and a relaxed atmosphere with blaring rock and roll music. Our theme, Come Together , was certainly reflected in school spirit. Pep rallies throbbed with enthusiasm and swayed to the beat produced by Cascia's pep band . Student Council also bolstered school spirit with Hat Day and Hunt-A-Huskie Day where students were awarded free dress in exchange for renewed spirit. Bus trips, organized by john O'Brien, were also successful as they enabled students too young to drive to still see the game and produce spirit of their own.

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.
