Cascia Hall High School - Towers (Tulsa, OK)

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.

At lunch before the Oolagah game, they ate dogfood fhorsemeatl vowing to do the same to the real Mustangs later on that night. At another pep rally, the pair stormed the gymnasium wearing shorts, bearing weapons, and dripping with blood . They drove the already spirited fans wild as well as drawing appreciation and cheers from their fellow teammates.

Students came together in a number of activities with little or no help from a supervisor. Under the supervision of Miss Fairchild, the newly formed Latin Club held a haunted house in the basement of the school. It was held on two successive nights, the Friday of the Oolagah game and Halloween on Saturday, and was a great success. The seniors of Cascia and Monte Cassino held a car wash behind Mercan- tile Bank at Southland on September 26, in an effort to raise money for Homecom- ing. Although we didn't wash a fleet of cars, none of us went home unhappy - or dry for that matter. School publications began to make their presence felt on campus.

Mrs. Krawiecki along with Mark Fox and a host of other writers gave the student body a periodical publication which has too long been absent from Cascia. Student Council members, led by President Dennis McFadden, attended district workshops in Norman, Muskogee, and in Tulsa, at Eastwood Baptist. They had to give a presentation on parliamen- tary procedure at Eastwood. McFadden provided the transportation, and quick- thinking Herb Barrington wrote the presentation on the way over. At least they didn't arrive empty-handed.
