The boys block was an influencial group at the basketball games once again this year. Boys from all four grades combined at the games to support the team. The freshmen and sophomore boys really got in- volved, which made the block even better. Coach Wolf was especially pleased with the high morale of the block and said that playing at home with both blocks and the home crowd gave him and the team extra incentive they needed to win. This year the boys block made signs for the more important games of the season. They formed tun- nels for the players to run through during pregame. And they improved the types of cheers they did. Both Father Dhondt and Father Back commented on. how pleased they were that obscenities were elim. Whether at a home game, or trav- eling to an away game the boys block played a big role in supporting the team with enthusiastic spirit.

Basketball games were filled with spirit this year, as girls ' block increased in membership. Over 100 girls donned blue sweaters and skirts, and joined in the organized yells with the cheer- leaders. Maggie Gloyeske and Jamie Delaney captained the group, and were pleased with its growth. Yells at practice were good if the block saw the smiling paper plate face of Jamie Delaney. If bad, they saw the frown of a Maggie Gloyeske paper plate face. Rules were strickter, requiring the girls to have a written excuse if they missed a practice or game. The tradi- tional uniform was changed. The girls weren ' t required to wear blue hose this year because local stores weren ' t car- rying them. One of the block ' s biggest problems was getting the girls to return to their seats before the end of halftime. Mag- gie and Jamie created a Row of the Week award, and gave it to Mary Bonner ' s row the first week because her row was the only one back to their seats on time. From then on, the girls were prompt. Block members added spirit to the games by wearing funny glasses, get- ting keyed by shaking their car keys until the team scored, and wearing boots on Boot Night . Girls ' Block was a definite asset to school spirit. Through block, the stu- dents were able to show how much they cared about CO, as well as its basketball team.
