LIBRARY AIDES As a result of the recent trend in the school to encourage its students to pursue their studies indee pendently, the library is rapidly becoming a prom- inent tool of students in the cultivation of their minds and the development of their imaginations. However, the library can only be of service to the student if it is coordinated properly. Recognizing the need for eFficient organization, the library aides have made this important process of learning easier for all students. Besolved: That Congress should prof hibit unilateral US. military intervention in foreign countries resounded throughout many debating tournaments this past year. It was the main artery to research and typ- ing evidence for the 1970 Monsignor Bon- ner Debating Team. The members of the team demonstrated their proficiency in both the art and the purpose of debating by participating against the top teams on the eastern coast and articulating their views on the topic clearly and precisely. Their work was by no means fruitless as the team upheld Bonner's line oratorical tradition. Their success ensures Bonner of a fine team in years to come. Above: Providing for the efhcient functioning of the library are Cleft to rightj Fr. Flynn, the Moderator, Kevin Crooks, john Rizzo, Mrs. Zinnie, Ray Young, joe Caulfield, and Len Tenaglia.

NATIQ AL I-I0 QR SQCIETY Right: Mr. james McGrath addresses a meeting of The National Honor Society. The society often called upon the experience of the faculty to answer their questions and stimulate suggestions for the betterment of the academic status of the school. After many attempts within recent years, the National llonor Society has hnally become a reality at Bonner. Although only in its first year, important precedents were set and obliga- tions carricd out. This year's programs have proven profitable in that the N.H.S. has be- come an effective agent with its various discus- sions ot issues and problems with administra- tive personnel, and making its results known to members and organizations throughout the school. Altogether. it was a job well done and a high standard of quality set lor years to come.

Patrick Nowlan, O.S.A., orig- inated in Bonner in 1970. The clubls main purpose was to provide opportunities for I those interested students to learn and ex- periment in electronics. The members of the organization held weekly meetings to familiarize themselves with the techniques of operating a ham radio. They acquired extensive information and background for furthering their knowledge of electrical devices. In its early stages, the club was interested primarily in establishing itself throughout the school. After accomplish- ing this immense task, the members set out to construct a ham radio station at Bonner. They are hopeful of continued success in years to come. Good morning. May I have your attention please . . The same cold voice gave the same greeting to Bonner students every morning at 8:35 and proceeded in a monotone, listing the daily announcements. Then, on the morning of October 6, 1969, as the shock of hearing a musical greeting passed from the student body, the voice of Streeter Click announced the birth of the Bonner Bulletin Board. Since then Streeter, Stuart, Frank, and Iohn have at- tempted to add an entertaining note to the daily broadcast, and although we have been criticized as being the funniest thing to come to Bonner in years, we have :accomplished our goal, for the novelty of the BBB has helped insure that important messages reach the stu- dents.
