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.

One of the main attractions of this fall was the morning chapel presentation, Every morning students were given a report on the progress of the annual Year- book Ad Drive. The 310,000 goal for this year nearly doubled all goals set in earlier years. How- ever, business manager Guy deVerges promised that if the goal was reached, the largest and most colorful yearbook in Cascia his- tory would be produced. A select group of Seniors took it upon themselves to break the morning monotony of a simple report of progress and at the same time encourage students to sell ads. Rick Carpenter and Herb Barrington as the famous lake and Elwood Blues, respectively, enter- tained students in chapel to the theme song of the movie The Blues Brothers . Although Rick, as lake was not able to locate a black sport jacket large enough for him, Herb succeeded in perfectly mimicking the stone face expression of Elwood. Along with the Blues Brothers for morning chapel ad drive entertainment were the Prophets of Doom. Formed by Bill Wynn, lead guitarist, and Bill Watson lead harmonicist and vocalist, the Prophets of Doom sang of upcoming doom and sadness if the final goal was not reached. I want a high-gloss, color yearbook Although by the first of November the goal was not reached, more money was raised than any previous ad drive. The final total ended up at S8,300g with the financial assistance of the school, certainly enough money to form a quality yearbook with lots of color.
