Gruh Day was part of Spirit Week. Father Robert Erickson arrived during the summer of I978 to begin his duties as the tenth prin- cipal to serve the Catholic Boys High Schools. Father Erickson was a member of the Cathedral class of 1958 and thus became the first alumnus to serve as princi- pal. Another graduate, Rich Piat- chekjoined other graduates as a member of the faculty. Gary Dorr, Dennis Beiermann, Father Mick Egan, and Mr. Tim Dona- hue also signed on as teachers for the new year. This school year marked the 20th anniversary of the Mostaccioli Dinner and it was fit- ting that it be dedicated to Father Canella who had begun the whole thing. Spirit week was another highlight of the year with the classes competing in various humiliating contests for the ac- claim ofthe audience, a student- teacher volleyball game and Father Bolser as a sitting duck in a water tank. The week ended with a version of the Gong Show which if nothing else proved that the students of Grif- fin had spirit.
