WE HAVE DIVIDED THE ACTIVI- TIES OF THIS YEAR INTO THE THREE SEASONS, AUTUMN, WIN- TER AND SPRING. IN DOING SO, WE HAVE PLACED EACH ORGANI- ZATION'S WRITE-UP IN THE PERI- OD WHICH, WE THINK, ITS MOST IMPORTANT ACTIVITY OC- CURRED.

Just Z5 cents at the door and you joined the festivities on October ll, when a homecoming mixer was held. Again on October 31, the party began as the first Halloween mixer in three years. At the Home- coming Mixer, a Talent Show was held. NVeeks before the mixer, the announcement and appeal for talent was set out. Three different acts were ar- ranged. Ronald Palm, a junior, tap-danced: James Donovan, a freshman, imitated Donald Duck: and William Smith, a senior, pantomined a baker. Smith took first place and received five dollars: Palm received three dollars for second place: and Donovan two dollars for third.

The money received at the Thanksgiving Mixer, held on November 24, went toward payment of this book and to the missions. Thanksgiving Mixer , Miss Adele Meyers is crowned as the First Loras Academy Homecoming ueen by Thomas Schueller council president Homecoming 'I think she should be queen, Joe. There were probably many disputes as to who our homecom- ing queen should be as the homecoming weekend drew near. But all the disputes were settled by the juniors and seniors who voted when they pur- chased their dance tickets. The dance on Friday, October 9, was the kick- OH to a successful weekend. The fieldhouse was a colorful scene on that festive night with its pur- ple and gold numbered footballs hanging from nowhere, a huge gold football as a background for Larry Fosters orchestra, and many of the gridders themselves in action. During intermission Miss Adele Meyers was crowned as homecoming queen. After her crown- ing she expressed her appreciation to those who voted for her and wished us a grand weekend. This year on Saturday evening, a combina- tion mixer and pep rally was held in the Loras iieldhouse. At intermission many line words of encouragement were relayed to us by the speakers. The final touch for the weekend was the Sunday afternoon game between the Gubs and St, Am- brose. Preceding the game, the ROTC battalion passed in review, While the battalion was on the Held, the queen and her court were brought onto the field and presented to the alumni and fans. 41 back row: Schadle, Bertsch, McGettrick, Krotzer, Johnson, Langkamp, Hoffman, F.

Frosh-Soph This year, on Wednesday, April l, the Annual Freshman-Sophomore Day of Recollection was again held in the Loras Academy Chapel, and the man, whose duty it was to lead them along that road of spiritual thought, was the Rev.

Combs opened basketball practice in early October with high hopes for a very successful campaign. His hopes were well fulfilled as the Cubs had one of their best seasons in many years hnishing with a record of l5 wins and 6 losses.

The high-riding Ciubs then won their next three ball games in a row. They defeated Platteville, 60-37, Regis, 54-51, and Campion, 62-'56, St, Ambrose then came to Dubuque and broke l-oras' four game winning streak by defeating the Gubs, 61-53.

D. Schneider, Sieren Student Managers You may think that the student managers, Don- ald Schneider and Gerald Sieren, do nothing but open the gym, close the gym, and go on the trips with the varsity teams. But every day after classes they issue equipment racks to the members of the various squads. Following this they do other jobs around the gym such as cleaning up the locker rooms and packing away equipment. Before every game, they are kept busy taping wrists and ankles. They seldom receive the credit that is due them. Cheerleaders The cheer leaders are a very important part of the athletic program. These boys, Francis Brune. William Brune, and Ronald Palm, led the Gub cheering section with organized cheers at all home games. Brune, Palm, WI Smith Back row: Father Kutsch, Pluemer, Delany, Roetlin, Fesler, D.

Murphy, Rogers, Palzkill Track Along with the arrival of spring this year came Coach Cailen Thomas' call for candidates for the track team. The new season was off to a slow start however, for Old-Man Weather could only offer cold, rainy weather to the aspiring Gub cinderman for the first few weeks of practice. In the seasons' opener, the State Indoor Meet. and at the Drake Relays, Don Nachtman gained the only Cub points in his speciality, the high jump. The Loras thinclads then captured 3rd place in both the Clinton Gateway and a triangular meet High Hurdles with Senior High and Campion. In five dual meets this year, the Ciub cinderman defeated Platteville, 61M-5116, St. Ambrose 81M -385, and Cam- pion 57M-55M, while losing to Platteville 57- 56, and Senior High 85-43. In the district meet, Nachtman broke the pre- vious high-jump record by going 6'll,1 and both he and Chuck Johnson qualified for the state finals. Then, on May 23, at the finals, Nachtman went 6 ,j , to become the state champ in that event. Fred May Subs for Nachtman nun-ui'-v --Y - ' Back row: Father Ferring, Mullen, Nicks, Burbach, C.
