Seniors win spirit stick The annual spirit week for homecoming started on October 9th and ran through the 12th. There was competition between classes with the spirit stick as the reward. All week after school there were various games to win points. There was the car pack on Tuesday. This was done by squeezing as many people from each class in a station wagon as possible. The fresh- men ended up with 28 people, sopho- mores had 26 people, juniors had 27 people and the seniors won with 31 seniors in the car. Each group achieved this success by pushing and shoving people into any little space available. Kim Harrington, Leawood, Kan., senior said, “The games were a lot of fun but some of the people had bad attitudes about seniors winning.” The human pyramid was also part of competition on the first day. The freshmen had 21, sophomores had 25, juniors 34 and seniors a winning 43. Powder puff football game was held Wednesday. The teams were Academy senior-freshmen against junior-sophomores. Maur Hill provided very good mock cheerleaders, who were excited about the game. They had to control themselves many times to keep from running out on the field to help the players. The game was won by the senior-freshmen team with a score of 8-6. Favorite coaches and mock king were crowned during the half-time of the powder puff game. Maur Hill’s favorite coach was Coach Folsom. The Academy’s favorite being Coach Meyer. The mock king was Kevin Wagner. They were crowned by Kim Harrington, Denise Vasquez, Del Rio, Texas, and Janelle Andra, Atchison. For the people who like showing their strength, disappointment struck when the rope broke on tug of war. Because of this the tug of war was canceled. For the coordinated people there was the Simon Says game. This was played by four people of each class. The winner of this was the junior class with Beth Sylvester, York, Neb. Sophomores came in second and seniors and freshmen tied for last. At the end of the week all the points were added up with the seniors winning. They were rewarded with the spirit stick at Friday nights pep rally. (Story by Dee Dee Havens) For two years in a row, the seniors have won the sign competition.

Religion offers variety Religion is a major part of the student life at Maur Hill and the Academy. All Catholics and other Christians take regular religion classes at both schools. Seniors have co-ed classes four times a week, plus a mass. The separate parts of Senior Religion are the Church in North America, and Christian Vocation, which includes instruction on marriage and religious vocation. “I don’t really like being forced to take religion classes. I do, however, feel that these classes help people grow spiritually,” David Hanny, Atchison senior, said. Juniors have co-ed classes three times a week, a study hall, and a mass. Juniors class sections are: Morality, Peace and Justice, Death and Dying, and Church History. “I believe that this year’s religion classes will benefit me greater than any other year, because of the practical reasons behind these classes,” Angela Domann, Atchison junior, said. Sophomore Religion is not co-ed and is taught three times a week. Sophomores receive instructions on Holy Scriptures. Freshmen Religion is not co-ed and they have a study hall and a mass. They are taught Church Doctrine and Introduc- tion to Morality. “Religion should be a way of life for every person who attends Maur Hill and the Academy,” Brother John Peto O.S.B., said. (Story by Walter Robohn) The music for the mass was provided by Brother Tom Jacobs and Ms. Julie Weisshaar. The music made the mass interesting. Brother John Peto teaches Religious Studies. He is also the head of the Religion Department. Kim Harrington, Leawood Ks., senior willingly accepts Holy Communion from Fr. Matthew Habiger. Fr. Matthew opened Homecoming spirit week. Walter Robohn, Gladstone Mo., senior, proclaims the word of God to the students. Willie reads often at mass. 12 Religion
