DI CIPLI i T Besides academic discipline, Hales recognizes the 'l need to train our whole character. Those of us who came from public schools notice this immediately. We're constantly trained to look to personal details: being on time, having the right dress, fulfilling assignments, and doing the right thing at the right time.

We went out with the intention of showing them we were winners. This was our first year of Catholic League play. The result: We won our pre-season games and took one league game -very commendable for a first year team. We had made our first hurdle to success. Nearly every opposing team commented on the spunk of the Spartans. HALES OPPONENTS 37 6 Walther Lutheran 14 0 DePaul 16 56 Mt.
