These included Journalism, The Novel, Black Lit., Drama, Debate, Mythology, Supernatural Lit., Indian Lit., and others. Not only did these courses offer something that would interest everyone, but they also brought the students together. Instead of having Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior English classes, anyone could sign up for any course they wanted and therefore students from all four grades were in the same classes. SCIENCE Father Thomas Adams Juniors Father Edward Ourada RELIGION Sophomores Freshmen Father Conrad Kaup Seniors Father Patrick Carroll Father Gerald Gordon SOCIAL STUDIES The Junior American History class took a day off to pull cars out of the the senior F.U.D. class had a St Pnt’c Hav narf v v j-'. Q- I - CO Some people have noticed a change in the Music Department. There definitely have been some improvements. The band greatly impressed the crowds at our basketball games. And the Chorus! Well, a big thanks to all those who made “It’s All About Love and “Finian's Rainbow possible, especially Sr. Ilene, music director and Sr. Therese, dramatics director.

They came _________ year with a smashing de- fense which proved to be the impor- tant factor in the success of the sea- son. The team and the school can give a lot of credit to the three coaches who led our boys on to a winning sea- son. Much hard work by both the team and the coaches gave us a football season that we can be very proud of.

In my opinion he was the best defensive half back in the con- ference toward the end of the season. He was one of the hardest hitting backs on the team.

It was a year of great pride as the girls saw the Jay team defeat many teams in all sports. The girls two big events were Homecoming, a big success, and the Sports Banquet. We know the boys will never forget all the chants, posters, booster tags, pep rallies, and a little encouragement from the side. Hang in there guys, We're with ya all the way!!!! We got the Blue Pride ya!!! GO BIG BLUE f SPIRIT WEEK A week of spirit, anticipation, and hope for the best—cheering, and chanting in the halls, bonfire, and posters everywhere. These were just some of the things leading up to the important night. The spirit throughout the school was unending. Everyone was waiting for the big game and the dance. The spirit in our school was as high as it could get! We all felt unity, friendship, and hard work for an event that meant so much to each and everyone of us.

BLUE STREAK TO JAMES Do you remember How you won That last race. . .? How you flung your body At the start. . . How your spikes Ripped the cinders In the stretch How you catapulted Through the tape. . . Do you remember. . .? Don't you think I lurched with you Out of those starting holes. . .? Don't you think My sinews tightened at those first few strides. . .? And when you flew into the stretch Was not all my thrill Of a thousand races In your blood. . .? At your final drive Through the finish line Did not my shout Tell of the Triumphant ecstasy Of victory. . .? Live As I have taught you To run, Boy— It's a short dash Dig your starting holes Deep and firm Lurch out of them Into the straightaway With all the power That is in you Look straight ahead To the finish line Think only of the goal Run straight Run high Run hard Save nothing And finish With an ecstatic burst That carries you Hurtling Through the tape To victory. . . Hard running Kevin will beat the Cadet. Gregg and Dan race to the tape. Mike Coughlin, part of the 880 relay, 220, 100, and the record holder of the long jump, was named “most improved player .
