Introductory note li 1 The best things at Notre Dame were simple things. They were cheers before a tournament game, microscopes in the biology lab, french fries for lunch. They included special people: faculty members and administrators, custodians and students. And the simple things revolved around these special people. Some of these things were special, not-so-ordinary things like choosing a dress for the prom or planning and presenting an assembly, being Santa Claus at Nliami Children's Home or even tutoring at Huntington Farms, Sylvania. But even more of the things these people said and did were ordinary, regular things like studying in the library or making chlorine in chemistry lab or taking tests or doing Chicken Fat in gym class. All of these people and the things they said and did, whether large or small, important or not, made the year what it was. And this book tells the story of that year 1969-70. Regina 1970 begins where the 1969 Regina ended-lVlarch, 1969. Each month of that year was made up of special things. lVlarch 1969 was almost exclusively dedicated to basketball-parades, homeroom decorations, shakers, buttons and keen competition for the annual tournament. After our b-ball teams played teams from the other parochial high schools and won the first place trophy we settled down to third-quarter exams and retreat. April began with Easter vacation and the junior-senior banquet. Juniors practiced for their ring ceremony and helped seniors plan the prom. Special in lVlay were the prom, the senior class production Celebration '69 and graduation practice. We voted for officers for 1969-70 and crammed for our finals. With June, we sent our uniforms to the cleaners and put our books away after final exams. We invaded Bob-Lo Island in Canada and cleaned our lockers. Summer vacation at last! August-September came too soon and then it was time to buy books and get used to wool skirts and knee socks again. We looked all over town for a neat pair of blue shoes and found that everyone found the SAME neat pair of blue shoes. ln October-November, seniors flew to Washington, D.C., and presented Senior Serendioity to re-live their trip for parents and friends. A planned date dance flopped and we struggled through exams. December found us at class play practice, basketball practice or practicing for vacation. The end of 1969 was snowy, but we had no trouble digging cars out of the parking lot. Christmas vacation started December 23 and we were ready!!
