A NIGHT IN The concept of the Homecoming game and dance was invented ages ago as an occa- sion to encourage alumni to return to the school from which they graduated. Nobody can be certain how well the first homecom- ing football games and dances worked at attracting alumni, but remarkable numbers of CHS grads can be spotted at our annual gridiron event. Nowadays though, the Homecoming dance has devolved for perhaps evolvedj into an opportunity for some current stu- dents to show off their taste in females. Homecoming is also one giant photo shoot. Students, along with their dates andfor friends, stand in line interminably, waiting to get their pictures taken, the irony of it is that by the time the pictures finally return, the couples may no longer be on speaking terms. Ted Eades, along with his crew a dozen or so, did an excellent job of decorating the gym for Nightmare on Lee Street. Few negative com- ments were made, other than the usual complaints about the distinct lack of slow dances. Father Tribou voiced his concern for the females who might possibly come down with chest colds. Nightmare was not only an outright success Cand profitj, but it was a night that few will forget.

FOR ALL Catholic High School. The name is rather deceptive, since about 40 percent of the students are non-Catholics. But even with almost half of the student body of the school not Catholic, the prac- tices of the school are still Catholic. From the confessional to the Mass, various as- pects of Catholicism are not to be found in non-Catholic religions, and people from other religions are seeing these things for the first time. When asked their impressions of the first Mass they attended, students offered replies which varied from different to novel, Bill Elder, a sophomore, and also the son of a Baptist minister, said, It was an interesting experience. I found out what happens in a Catholic Mass. Some even said they liked the silence of the Mass. The practiced religion here at school is obviously Catholicism, religion classes emphasize the doctrines of the faith which prompted the erection of the school more than fifty years ago. But those who have other views, profess other religions, or hold other understand- ings of life are invited to voice them. Our school re- mains decidedly Catholic while demonstrating its com- mitment to being catholic as well. Father Tribou presides at the Mass.
