Mount Carmel's faculty is an assorted group of individuals who during the 1975-1976 school year have worked with the students to develop their minds. They have taught the students how to do their work on top of devoting their spare time to outside activities involv- ing Mount Carmel. All of this is done to help the student academically, socially and athletically. The teaching staff at Mount Carmel has always encouraged students to express themselves, to be creative. This is a necessary type of encouragement a student needs from a teacher in his for- mative years so he can grow not only physically but also mentally. The con- tinued success of Mount Carmel de- pends on the student-teacher relation- ship and up to this point, that has not been hard.

Student organizations and activities are an integral part of life here at Mt. Car- mel. 1975-1976 was a year of growth for student organizations. Although some had difficulties, the trend seems toward in- creased involvement in various activities by Mount Carmel students. The Dance committee flourished with a consistently successful program, making significant financial contributions to the operations of the school. United Latin American Students remodeled the unused Crusader room, making it one of the most attractive and comfortable areas in the school. The Student Council attempted to deal with several significant problems and solved them when possible. THE CRUSADER, the school newspaper, exemplified the growth and openminded- ness of the school with a stronger edi- torial policy and better expression of stu- dent viewpoints. The Reflexions Committee, a new organ- ization, brought the religious roots of Carmel into stronger view with increased student liturgies and a retreat. The Lettermen Club continued their serv- ice work to Mt. Carmel by monitoring the hallways and crowd control at rallies. The club also sponsored Mt. Carmel's first Superstars competition. The Chess Club continued to grow in num bers. The highlight of the year was the annual Chess Tournament, won by Alvin Carpenter. The Black Youth Alliance increased mem- bership and added new significance to Martin Luther King Day with a presenta- tion on Dr. King and other important black leaders.
