A Pause for Reflection gn-I . iz. The atmosphere of a retreat appears impossi- ble to attain any other way except to gather stu- dents and adults in the presence of God. Powers' religious education department spon- sored several extremely meaningful retreats this fall and winter. Two weekends in the fall were set aside for seniors and senior honors students, respectively. February 2nd gathered the sopho- more girls together for a short weekend with modern day morals and values for women as the topic of discussion. The retreat has come to be an experience in living and department heads look forward to many more opportunities such as these for the students. , , 2- ox. ' Qld .

Parlez-Vous Prangais? Habla Espanol? No matter which language you speak, touring in Quebec or Spain is an enioyable experience. Within a week's time the Spain group found that many expressions are international. Along with memories of bull fights, discotheques, and small boutiques, they brought back numerous memories of their new-found amigos. A week had never passed so fast! Though they were homesick, everyone hated to leave. The French students discovered a new and fasci- nating culture during their stay in Quebec. Although they were only a few hundred miles away, they felt as though they were in the center of the French culture. Elegant dinners in castles, horse and buggy rides, and, getting to know peo- ple of all ages, were lust a few things that made the trip complete. Top: Visiting St. Anne de Beaupre is a sure highlight of the Quebeck trip. left: The Spain group fit right in the Spanish customs at the bullfight. right: Churches of every shape and form were found in Quebec! 76 Activities Y.

Do Your Qwn Thing Breaking the monotony of six classes a day was once an impossible task. Then Powers spiced up the curriculum with Grub Day. It proved to be a perfect opportunity to express the secrets lurk- ing within us all. A touch of peculiarity triumphed throughout the day. In the course of Grub Day the school was occupied by a multitude of athletes, a host of farmers and a swarm of unmentionablesp not to speak of the score of students who proudly displayed their blue-ieans. A spirit of unification echoed in the halls as each student gained recognition for being the special someone he really is! Each additional Grub Day is welcomed enthusiastically by the student body and even the faculty would admit that Grub Day is certainly a cornucopia of talent!
