The football team posted a per- fect season and won both the City and Conference Championship trophies. The cross country team, brand new to Griffin, capped its first season by bringing home the City Championship. Mr. Muraw- ski coached this team. For the third year in a row, the basketball team won the Capitol Conference title. Annual retreats had been part of the CathedralfGriffin expe- rience since the beginning. For the first time the format of the re- treat was changed. Individual re- treat months for each class ap- peared on the scene. Besides the conferences given by the retreat masters, faculty members con- ducted discussions in the class- rooms and speakers were brought in to lead group discussions. The long periods of inactivity which had plagued both faculty and stu- dents ofthe past were eliminated. Most agreed that it was one of the most effective retreats ever. A perfect season resulted in City and Conference titles. Retreats included private meditation. ff' 1 23 Zigi jjgfgf-27 .f Qi 140 F etfva-.1

Fr. Chas. Warlop Fr. Kenneth Fagarason Bro. john Penca Mrs. Ferol Henry Fr. Clements currenttv leads Carl P. Garver Mrs. Eliz. Balser Mrs. Patricia Barrow a movementfor equal treatment ofall races in the state. The 1966-67 school year proved to be the last in which religious outnumbered lay teachers at Grif- fin. Father Charles Warlop, Father Kenneth Fagarason. Bro. John Penca were new to the faculty as were Mrs. Ferol Henry, Mr. Carl Garver, Mrs. Elizabeth Balser and Mrs. Pat Barrow. The Viatorians had launched a self-evaluation of all ofthe schools in which they taught and this put some pressure on the faculty. Knowing that the com- munity would have to withdraw from at least one of its commit- ments the fear that the low sala- ries paid the Viatorians at Griffin might become a decisive point as decisions were made on the pro- vincial level. The Civil Rights movement was at its peak and the students were treated to a debate between Fathers Malette and Clements of Chicago's Intercity program which proved to be a very stimu- lating and provocative assembly.

Ms Collecting for Band Tag Day. Gavel Club II was formed. 'sis 44,218 2, , 1: ' U i u F 0 ,Jr A :fs Poor 01 'Judd was dead! For several years Griffin stu- dents had participated inthe musi- cals put on by Sacred Heart Academy. The production for 1967 was Oklahoma and was greeted as one of the best produc- tions ever sponsored by the schools. The Band visited New York City, then traveled to Montreal to appear at the World's Fair. Father Nowak had moderated the Gavel Club for several years and now a Second Club was begun to handle the number of students who were interested in the fine art of public speaking. In addition a Debate Club was begun this year under the direc- tion of Father Warlop. This year also saw the death of Father Sees who had been the second principal of Cathedral and who had resided with the Via- torian faculty for some years fol- lowing a severe stroke. He was a familiar sight in the halls of Grif- fin, often filling in for an absent teacher. Word also came of the death of Father Shaw. He had taught English at Griffin from 1959-l966. He had also served as Athletic Director while at Griffin. One hundred sixty six seniors received their diplomas at the June commencement ceremonies. One of the more active cheering sections.
