The lives of students were active with the Frosh-Soph Mixer starting the gaity. From there the crew sailed through Homecoming. The assembly included a Gong Show skit featuring faculty and staff, and the bonfire, pep rally, and parade threatened to set the Pirate ship ablaze with school spirit. But most importantly, the true pride of a Pirate was shown repeatedly as members of the crew went above and beyond the call of duty and rescued the hulls of our ship from the disastrous flood. Pictures of familiar places will help the crew remember the town during these days. Our crew led, indeed, very involved lives. STLIPDQIQT Q Mary Ann O'Shea Editor Student Life Div
