6 0 TAKEOVER CQI3T. been planned for a particular group. On many Monday mornings the halls buzzed with recaps of field trips taken over the past Friday. The Journalism De- partment traveled to Indiana University for an On Assignment Day. The stu- dents attended a workshop and were given a few hours to roam about the massive campus. Cincinnati was the sight of the soccer team trip for an indoor-outdoor tourna- ment. Running into a couple of movie stars like Patrick Duffy and Venus Fly- trap proved to be a real treat for the team. Physics fans entered the windy city of Chicago and got a taste of the big city night life — panty raids, Geno ' s pizza, and . . . oh yeah, visiting the Museum of Arte and Sciences. I think all in all the year was a success, but right now I need to relax and live it up a little. It ' s Friday night and the lights are out and I ' ve givenyou my all — Apple down to the core. I think I need a hit of the sauce — the apple sauce that is! Eeep! Eeep!

This was an assembly for firsts; the faculty was garbed in long choir robes, and the stu- dents were dressed in assorted weird clothing. Mrs. Pat Welsh got her treat for the day in this assembly by being kissed by senior emcee Andy Alcorn (It has been called to attention to report that Andy was wearing a protective shield at the time the kiss took place.) As I recall, the students lost the feud — by decision of a faculty panel of judges. The action taken by the faculty was not limited to just one assembly, howev- er. Led by the musical talent of Mr. John Stratman on his harmonica, the teachers sang their version of Rocky Top with Mater Dei as the word re- placements. Miss Lisa Ledman, one of the new kids on the block sang the Oscar Mayer song. Just seeing Mrs. Welsh barefooted and the rest of the teachers in old bluejeans proved they are just a bunch of normal red-(and gold) blooded American Wildcats. Mater Dei students aren ' t learning within the walls all the time. A long list of names on the absentee means an epidemic or more often a field trip has 59

■ :. J j i ' Ml Treating yourself K :?=:: 61 It scurried about Chicago on 78 legs, stalking any attraction of edu- cational value. What was it? Mater Dei ' s Physics Club! On Thursday, November 13 at mid- night, 35 seniors chaperoned by physics teacher Mrs. Marie Hankins. English instructor Mr. John Stratman, and band director Mr. Kurt Wam- bach boarded a bus for the Windy City, Although their main objective was to see the Museum of Science and Industry, they would do much more before returning home late Sat- urday. After six hours of travel, the club reached Chicago, and the race be- gan. From the Museum of Natural History, to the Plantatarium, to the Aquarium, they raced, squeezing two days of activities into one. It was so fascinating, said senior Laura Hutchison. I only wish we could have had a little more time. In the evening, the group found some time to visit the Water Tower Plaza where some of the girls shopped while other students spent the allotted 20 minutes riding the glass elevator. But then there was se- nior Keith Rooney who preferred the escalator and upset a guard by run- ning up the down escalator. Hungry and tired from its busy day, the physics crew relaxed for supper Friday night at Geno ' s, a rustic place on East Rush Street, famous for its deep dish pizzas. Stacy Spalding commented, The pizza was so terrible t hat we took the cheese off and rolled it into a ball, but it was fun, and that made up for the food, After eating, they had some time in their Ramada Inn rooms before sleeping, so the boys played cards in one of the rooms. Meanwhile, the girls held a panty raid in the boys ' empty room. We only got four pairs, said an anonymous raider. That includes the prize pair blue binklnl ! Rested and ready, the clan in- vaded the Museum of Science and Industry Saturday. Although it was the only place visited Saturday, many students agreed that their tour was pretty hurried. Friday was rough because we hardly slept, but Saturday, we had had sleep, and we were ready to see more, stated Stacy. Saturday evening, the exhausted group boarded the bus for home. The bus ride was one of the best parts, especially in Chicago. We saw a lot of different things, but the ride there and back was crazy, laughed Tim Dolletzki. Mrs. Hankins said the money for the trip was raised in a kuchen sale. She summed up the trip, The kids were a super group, and the trip was good — a little rushed, but good, — Glenda Hollander v..
