The Red Cross, a symbol of charity, has an established organization at CHS. It arranged the successful visit of the bloodmobile to the school in May 1974. Students under the direction of moderators Sr. Mary Lou McNaney, and Sr. Madeline Tiberii attended to details. Similar to their varsity counterparts, Frosh Cheerleaders supported their basketball team, attending home games at CHS on Mondays during the season. Cathedral students tutored pupils from the Children’s Study Home, with two teachers per child. Special projects for these youngsters were sponsored by NHS and various classes. After attending the Northeast Conference of the National Pro-Life Coalition, the Cathedral Pro-Life Club joined the national group. The club meets bi-monthly to write letters to Congressmen and help plan fund raising activities in the Springfield area. In January the group travelled by bus to the Capitol in Washington, D. C. to rally against the Supreme Court decision on abortion. 108 o ee. Pree Seog = z »

One club open to students outside of CHS was the Radio Club. It offered members the opportunity to receive their ham operator’s license, but only after instruction in theory, code, and procedures of the hobby. Responsible for lighting and audio effects in the auditorium, the Lighting Crew, under Sheila Mathews’ and Tim Lynch's management worked many functions, including Drama and Minstrel. Also involved in plays and the Minstrel, the Stage Crew designed and stabilized required props. This club organized students backstage during the Minstrel, and made sure well planned performances were in order. Hosting the WMass District Music Festival this year, Mr. Dante Pilegi’s Band also attended football games and provided the Christmas show, offering inspiration and enjoyment in both cases. Horse lovers rode weekly at Mountainview Stables, having learned correct saddling, walking, and riding techniques from previous instruction periods. The Riding Club also held Annual Fun Night, which was a type of horse show for the equestrians’ parents. 107
