Good Attendance at Sadie Hawkins Wearing her shades, Susan Wolters listens to a song by the band “Private Stock”. Wearing shades was common at Sadie Hawkins. On the evening of December 6 many people attended Sadie Hawkins. Sadie Hawkins is the traditional girl ask guy dance. This year Sadie Hawkins was held at a later date than previous years, usually the dance is held in November. John Miller, Atchison, senior, said “Student Council wanted to have the dance in November but all the week-ends were filled with activi- ties. I think the dance went rather well despite the changed month.” The band at Sadie Hakins was Private Stock from St. Joseph, Mo. Justin Cara- way, Lubbock, Tx., senior, said “I thought the band was very good. They played good songs and I felt that the dance was enjoyed by all.” The hitching post was where the priests married the couples. As they were married, marriage certificates and string to tie the knot were given to the couples. Also, if necessary the couples could divorce each other at the hitching post. The girls nominated a boy from each class for the best looking legs. Nominated from each class for best looking legs were Dan Moriarty, Senior; Pat Quinn, Junior; Steve Barticluia, Sophomore; and Todd Dulac, Freshman. Pat Quinn won with the most money in his jar. He was announced “King of Dogpatch” and received a crown. Tom Senecal, Atchison, Senior won $5 for the best dressed hick. Darrell Wagner, Atchison, Senior won a 6-pack of pop for second place. Laura Meyer, Atchison, Senior won a package of candy for third as being dressed as the best hick. (Story by Angela Domann) Waiting for someone to come and get divorced Tom Senecal takes a snooze.

Intramurals Open to Everyone For those who do not wish to participate in varsity sports there are intramurals. Intramural sports provide a place where anyone regardless of their ability can play. The teams are organized by the students and then a league is set up by Fr. Barnabas. Among the most popular of the sports are volleyball and basketball. Starting off the school year is the opening of intramural football season. For the past two years, however, intramural football was not played because of the lack of interest. Even the intramural game against the alumni was can- celled on account of bad weather. Next on the intramural schedule is volley- ball. Volleyball proved to be very popular this year with the forming of three leagues. Zough- iab’s team won the A league bracket this year with an undefeated record. At the same time intramural racquetball is played. Racquetball is set up as a single elimination tournament with the students setting up their own playing schedule. Lyn Grikis was the winner of the T- shirt in this year’s tournament, “I thought that the tournament was fun. I enjoyed playing against some pretty good competi- tion, especially Terry Anderson in the final game,” added Grikis. Starting in the winter of the new year is basketball. The time on basketball games if a little different than regular games but the competition is good. The main problem in the games is the officiating. The officials are volunteer students and very often they make bad calls, “Sure the refs make bad calls, but thats to be expected. The referees in varsity games don’t always make the right call. The only thing that makes me mad is when a ref makes a call that cost us a game,” said Charlie Lukens, Kansas City, MO, senior. In the spring is intramural softball, which is the only co-ed intramural sport. Girls were allowed to compete with the guys about two years ago and have been ever since. “I’m glad that girls are allowed to play intramural softball, it was a lot of fun last year and I think I will play again this year,” said Molly Klebba, Linn, MO, Junior. (Story by Greg Herman) Lyn Grikis waits to return the ball as it comes off the wall. Lyn was the winner of this year’s intramural racquetball tournament. Tom Senecal sets the ball up so Bill McKernan can spike it with maximum velocity. Senecal’s volleyball team had good success this volleyball season. Attempting to return the ball, Dan Foxley gets in position underneath the ball. Volleyball is one of the most popular intramural sports among the students. Intramurals 19

Roost Night The weekend refreshes students so that they can last through the first half of the week. But what is it that keeps them going for the last two days? The answer is roost night. The roost is open every Wednesday from 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. for Maur Hill and Academy students. At the roost people play air hockey or foosball, or just meet with friends. At the same time intramurals are going on in the gym and many people like to watch the games if they are not participating in them. A lot of people go to roost to meet their boy or girlfriends. The hour at the roost gives them time to see each other that is not always there during the week. Rob Harrington, Prairie Village, Senior, said, “I like to go to the roost on Wednesday night so I can see my girlfriend, because I don’t get to see her for very long during the school day.” The snack bar run by Mrs. Donna Willming, is very busy on roost night. The grill is constantly going and Mrs. Willming usually asks for the assistance of two or more students to wait on people. “The variety of food served in the roost increases every year. This year Mrs. Willming started serving microwave pizzas. The food in the roost is definitely one of its strong points,” said Stan Lackey, Mountain View, AK, Junior. Whatever the reason, the roost is always packed with students on Wednesdays. The atmosphere it creates is one of it’s main attractions. The roost offers a place for Heather O’Herin thinks about what she will order while she waits to be waited on. Knowing this will be a tough decision, she uses this time wisely. Very Popular students to go on a week night and see each other and talk about school or plan what they will do on the upcoming weekend. Because of the variety of things the roost offers students will continue to go there. The roost being open on Wednesdays is a very good idea and it is one that will last for a long time. (Story by Greg Herman) Donna Willming, manager of the roost, prepares some hamburgers for hungry stu- dents. Mrs. W’illming is kept busy on roost night cooking hamburgers and fries. Selecting the next song, Jean Andra reads over the list of selections on the juke box. Many people enjoy the music that the juke box puts out while in the roost. Discussing their plans for the weekend, Terry Anderson and Ximena Aguilar go over their options. Many couples like roost night be- R.OOSt 21 cause it gives them a chance to see one another.
