STUDENT LIFE CONTINUES Day does not end after school It ' s 3:10 and the last bell has just rung. The day is over, right? Wrong. For numerous students, the day had a long way to go. Extracurricular activities occu- pied many hours for ambitious people. It might have been a job, or Junior Achievement or some- thing else that provided some practical experience, or maybe GAA or Intramurals just for fun. Whatever the activity, it showed how much went on outsi de of the normal school day. Both band and choir members spent long hours preparing for concerts. They brushed up on pieces as well as setting the stage for performances. Weeks before each play, drama participants de- voted the after school hours to rehearsals and to building sets. The Luminarian staff spent most of their Saturdays at school strug- gling to meet the deadlines. Other clubs used after school to raise money for special activi- ties. Announcements proclaim- ing bake sales were frequent. One senior put it this way, My extracurricular activities really added a special dimension to my high school life. They made it a lot of fun.

SPIRIT JACKS UP Gathering changes spark interest School gatherings reflected the attitude of students toward CLHS academic and social life. The various gatherings that pupils attended included chapel, led by Mr. Donald Luepke, pep sessions, and assemblies, organized by Todd Taykowski. Mr. Luepke commented, We tried to pro- vide variety and new interest in chapel services to counteract student apathy. Various methods of worship used attempted to stimulate fresh interest and participation in the student body.

Pep sessions were shortened by the new schedule; consequently, we had to create short, snappy cheers to make crowd cheering easier, said Mrs. Nelson. The cheerleaders felt that school spirit vastly improved this year. The faculty and administration cooperated with Todd in sched- uling and conducting assemblies. Todd expressed his concern, Ever since my freshman year, as- semblies have decreased in number and quality. I decided to do something about it. Todd ' s goal was to schedule more as- semblies and interesting topics to spark new interest among stu- dents. A B 20 CATHERINCS
