The 1986 Homecoming Court con- sisted of seniors Maureen Chadwick, Barbara Sroka, Kimberly Malec, Carla Rotole, Kristen Marsh, Cathryn Mazur, and Cath- erine Sroka. The sophomores and juniors then became in- volved, as they joined the seniors in voting for the queen. Ballots were passed out in homeroom and the students were instructed to choose only one of the candidates. The excitement truly began here, as all students were anxious to find out their queen, but knew the announcement would not be made until halftime at the Homecom- ing football game on Saturday. The student body and faculty were greeted by their cruise director, julie McCoy, alias Student Council Executive Board President, senior Linda Baughman, on Monday, September 29. This first day of Spirit Week was Tourist Day. For the stop to California, students dressed accordingly in Ha- waiian prints, jams, and sunglasses. The student council sold lais for $.50, sailor hats for $2.00, and ice cream sundae boats for $.85. I thought Spirit Week was extremely fun. I really enjoyed Tourist Day the most, stated junior Deanna Vella. continued... Striving for those extra yards, sen- ior Mike Furlong helps lead the Falcons to a Homecoming victory against Shrine.

SlUcpd Events That Made Our Year Explanations are in order for many things in life. This division of the Clarion has been set up in such a way as to explain to you the life of the student body, as the events happened during the 1986-87 year. The Unforgettable Student Life. This has been titled The Unforgettable because of the numerous organized social activities that make your high school years a very special time in your life. These events, planned by and for the students, are the main attractions which break the monotony of 8-2:30 days filled with Computer Programming, Math Analysis, and English Literature, constantly studying for exams, and plain old every day homework. Beginning with Homecoming, you are introduced to the pride which was shown through the participation of the students and faculty during Spirit Week. The fall drama. Look Homeward Angel, had superb reviews during its run in November. The Ring Day Mass was once again an exciting event for juniors as they finally became upperclassmen, and for the seniors as they wore their gowns for the very first time. Tradition was broken this year as the dress code changed from semi-formal to casual for the Sadie Hawkins Dance. The very first Mr. Falcon, senior Bob Swider, was named in February, much to the excitement of the audience, which was mostly female. Oklahoma, the spring musical, finally hit the stage in March after endless hours of repetitious practice and preparation. The Virgin Mary was honored in the traditional May crowning ceremony. Mrs. Bonnie Adler directed her third annual spring play, Gold in the Hills or the Dead Sister's Secret, with much success. The most formal event of the year, the junior Senior Prom, was held at the Fairlane Club on May 27. Seniors couldn't decide whether to be happy or sad upon their graduation day, May 31. They concluded that this time was well in order and their years at Divine Child were full of countless memories which would remain with them always. Here you go, an explanation of the year, for you to recall the events planned especially for you, to help you relive some of your fondest high school memories- The Unforgettable Student Life. □ By: T.
