Backboard Battles n the upcoming weeks all attention will be centered on L As basketeers as the 63-64 basketball season dribbles into the gym. Responding to class competition the teams will be battling to carry triumphantly the Victory Trophy back to their homerooms. After scouting the aspiring teams, it looks like it will be the Seniors again this year as their seasoned players hit the court w ith a hopeful trophy glint” in their eyes. Always a threat, though, are the prom- ising Juniors—starting out strong and leaning on their experience. The spirited Sophs have much to overcome, as they must struggle with the handicap of inexperience, both individual inexperience and the inexperience of the team itself. Likewise the greenness of the Frosh applies to their crew who were fighting all odds as the season bounced onto the court Oct. 7. In the opening game the Senior Jugs were pitted against the Junior Rattfinks, and it was the Seniors who came out on top using strong teamwork to trounce the Juniors 32-9. In the second game the Sophomore Grubs saw nothing but goose eggs as the Frosh Nuts displayed early talent and swamped them 48-0. The latest contest, however, saw the Sophs come back with a strong defense and sweep to a 10-5 victory. The girls who make up these teams are as follows: SENIORS: A TEAM , . . •Maureen Hannan, Carolyn Foster, Lee Hudson, Janice Jen- icke, Kathy Schocnberger, Maureen Schoenberger.

Not to be forgotten in this sports brigade is volleyball, reported on in the following article. The ropid poce of the junior-senior gome is broken os both teoms line up for the free shot Spirit Soars in Volleyball Tournament he theme was unearthly as Mars Loretto girls invaded St. Pius gym Saturday morning, Oct. 12, for a volleyball tour- nament between several schools. Favorably enough it was Loretto, coached by Miss Reardon, who showed strong playing in pounding out victories over St. Pius, Glennon, and Notre Dame de Sion w’ho placed in the above order. The day was delightful and the entrants received their fill of volleyball, pop, pantomimes, and school songs from the hands of the Pius X hostesses. Fall 1963 7

2, What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming through the jungle? S4 . Here come the juniors. Sophomore Greek Play ... Well, actually, this last line wasn't spoken by Tarzan at all—it can more probably be attributed to Sr. Mary Venard; for our high school this year is not composed of four classes, but three classes and one herd. Everywhere you look there are bulletin boards reminding you of how you can tell if there's been an elephant in your refrigerator recently (you can see his footprints in the Jello), or why elephants wear purple tennis shoes (figure that one out!)? But what can we do? They're OUR juniors, we haf goMo luff them! ©ut elephants or no elephants, our Be Alive theme this quarter seems ready-made for the junior class. From behind closed homeroom doors every morning, they spring for- ward, overflowing with spirit and life, eager to show' the world that they'll never be replaced by a button.' Quite often their enthusiasm bursts forth in song, and they sere- nade the seniors across the hall. And even in naming their basketball team the Rattfinks, they show some of the fun-loving nature which they so abundantly possess. And it's a genuine spirit, full of warmth and vitality, that urges them on and on toward each goal. Their Hallow- een party as sophs was matchless in hilarity as the Old Woman in the Shoe and her ninety-some-odd children romped through Mother Goose Land with a real live goose. But they are not limited to expressing themselves with humor alone. Freshman year, pale blue puffs of angel hair and frosted stars, the product of so many torn fingers, re- flected the spirit with which they had been planned and made, and that Christmas Breakfast was an experience in love itself. yn many ways the juniors exemplify the over-all spirit of Loretto. Warmth, generosity, dedication, and humor are probably the most accurate qualities to use in describing them as a class, and also in describing particular people (as designated on the following pages), for a class is only as good as its members, and the members of the junior class are pretty terrific. It’s hard to realize that their pres- ence here is only a short experience in each of their lives; but they will take with them a great part of that spirit which is Loretto, and they will leave a great part of them- selves here. Because right now, they are Loretto, they are Loretto in everything they do and say, in everything they have and give. And we will remember them. We will remember their lusty serenading, their fun and their humor, their loving spirit. And when we remember them, we will best remember Loretto. Frosh-Junior Get T oget her . Spring Recital...
