As Darlene Rooney sat down and whispered. Oh no, my chair, the rest of the row snickered and knew she was the unlucky one. Every student seated on the gym floor on May 8 was recognized as an honor student. Some received certificates of Cum Laude and or Magna Cum Laude, while others awaited even more distinct awards. With President Reagan ' s financial aid cutbacks, scholarships were in great demand. College-bound seniors who applied fa scholarships anxiously await- ed for the list of aids given by the Uni- versity of Evansville, Tri-State Beauty Col- lege, Indiana University and others. Those receiving scholarships included Stephanie Purcell, Joe Kuhn, John De- wig, Bob Culver, Margaret Tavormina, Clare Becker, Mary Kay Kissel, Tom Spindler, Patricia Weinzapfel, Darrel Paul, Keith Rooney, Robb Bumb, Pat Wildeman, Carlo Decamps, Donna Koressel, Krista Grossman, Beth Richey, Jayne Happe, Mary Wannemueller, Lori Whelan, Kevin Dick, Don Goedde, Jerry Grannan, Kim Hartlein, Kathy Koressel, Gary Weinzapfel, Julie Little, Theresa Reising, Mary Ellert, Roger Brown, and Jenny Olivey. On a lighter side than academics and scholarships, Mater Dei students were active in more human interest affairs. Included was the clean campus award. The school was recognized in a parade on Franklin Street featuring Ma- ter Dei ' s own marching band. Honor students could be seen all around the city involved in music, jour- nalism, and even Easter egg hunts. Where would the city be without such people? — Mary Schenk
