Right: After having finished serving Mass, these early risers chat with Fr. Smith in the B.B.C. room. Below: The B.B.C. oflicers and their moderators: Assistant Moderator, Fr. Francis Melcherg Treasurer, Bob O'Brien, Crphans' Commissioner, Tom Powerg President, Bob Buchanang Vice-President, Bob Kellyg Secretary, Frank McCaneyg and Moderator, Fr. Alfred Smith. During his high school years a student frequently becomes so distracted by his social, academic, and physical Welfare that he has the tendency to lose sight of his spiritual condition. Realizing the spiritual deficiency of many Bonner students, Fr. Smith organized the B.B.C. over ten years ago for the purpose of cultivating in students a sincere dedication to God. Since true Christian fulhllment comes only through working with others, the B.B.C. is involved in various social functions among which are helping the orphans at St. Iohn's Home, and, more recently, tutoring children who are experiencing problems in grade school. However, despite the modern trend in the Church towards more and more social Work, the B.B.C. still maintains that the Mass is the focal point of our faith and the source of all the good Works we do. TOM Powian Orphans' Commissioner of the B.B.C. i'5

ln the past, people thought of Student Council as a small group whose only function was to run the weekly mixers and cheer at the games. And for the most part, this was true. But we have come a long wav since then. Student Councills activities now include such com- mittees as Art and Poster, Athletic, Cheerleaders, Cuide ancc, Personnel, Publicity, Social, Special Events, Spirit, and Tutoring. We are also involved in various other activities throughout the school. A group effort of all these functions brought Bonner the No. l Spirit Award. Our main purpose is to serve the student body thc best way that we are able, often involving us in many drives for various activities, sports, and academics alike. Whatex'er more we can do for the studentf, will always be Student Councilys motto.
