-gkP' . . . More Than Bricks The Construction of a building needs certain essential mate- rials: blueprints, bricks, cement, lumber. When the founda- tion is dug and the cement is poured, there is a basis for the entire structure. As construction proceeds, the floors, walls, and ceilings shape up, and the general framework of the edifice is visible. Structure is now functional. We see this building process occur daily at Marist. Each individual forms a brick, and many bricks ioined together constitute unity of structure. Like contractors, teachers and administrators draw up blueprints by organizing clubs and academic courses. Through years of study, adjustment, and involve- ment in activities, a solid foundation, an Hesprit de corps, - a camaraderie begins to form among students, adminis- trators, and staff. Commitment and dedication of adminis- trators, staff, and students give birth to a distinct group of individuals who establish themselves as one unified commu- nity. The mortar that unifies our structure and cements the Marist community is love, trust, loyalty, and understanding, summed up in two words - school spirit. It is this SCHOOL SPIRIT - better known as the unique MARIST SPIRIT - which furthers growth in EDUCATION FOR TIME AND ETER- NITY. . .a BUILDING not only of mortar and brick - but a BUILDING OF MEN. w-vMwwy?N ,.,, Wlme3QYWt Qwwrrrrrr 1 .1 sa:

Q: WHAT I9 THE BEST QPECTATOR SPORT AT MARl9T'7 A: One says the best is the contact of football, another says it's the excitement of basketball, while yet a third says it's the agility of soccer. Yes, all of these are great spectator sports, but if every organization were taken into considera- tion, a small group consisting of nine members would lead the league. These nine bring the crowd to their feet at a rally. These nine bring a smile to everyone's face even when the team is down by 15 with only seconds to go. These nine young talented people represent Marist every time they per- form. Many of the students know all nine by their first names. These nine also combine the contact of football, the excitement of basketball and the agility of soccer into one spirited activity. If anyone has been even semi-conscious at any time this year, he probably realizes by now that these nine comprise the MARIST CHEERLEADERS. .,,. E 1 tif ' I : 4 fs-'X' 1' ig?
