than just BOOKS Student Life at Rockhurst in 1988 proved typically to hold more than just books for all concerned. Spirit continued at high intensity throughout the year at the many games and social events. Participation, involvement and caring proved important as students ministered to each other through the special functions of Student Council and the Pastoral Department. Students took time out to build upon the strong traditions of friendship and unity throughout the week-long celebration of Homecoming ’88. Mission Week brought out the best in the Rockhurst community as students raised money through various events to help the less fortunate in Central America. The Pastoral Department, headed by Mr. Larry Ruby and Fr. Thomas Jost, S.J., offered a twofold benefit to students. First, the program offered well-planned retreats and specifically aimed masses. Secondly, it allowed students to become involved with the planning and design of these events through the pastoral board and committee. In 1988 Students Against Driving Drunk and Students for Students proved to be valued presences in the lives of many. Through various sponsored events and in oftentimes unseen actions, S.A.D.D. and S.F.S. were truly an essential part of Rockhurst’s interdependent community. Overall, student life at Rockhurst was highlighted by the efforts of the student body to improve the atmosphere of participation and belonging at The Rock. By James Hooper, Jr. Editor-in-Chief

4 ---- RHS (feed SOUTH of the BORDER A volcano in the RHS gymnasium? Yes, that’s right! On the night of Rockhurst’s 1988 Homecoming Dance, the earth shook and a smoldering volcano popped up through the hardwood floor. But the rumblings were not caused by the massive pressures of the Great Kansas-Missouri Fault Line less than 100 yards away. Rather, the thumping of hundreds of feet dancing to the tunes of a great band rocked the evening. And what came smoldering from the mouth of the “volcano” was not bubbling lava but the beautiful Kim Finks, the 1988 Homecoming Queen. Actually the dance was the climax to an incredible week-long journey “South of the Border.” The first leg began on Sunday, October 11, at the Queen Candidate’s Reception, which was hosted by Dr. and Mrs. Thomas V. Thomas, Sr. Monday the Rockhurst community gathered for an all-school celebration of the Eucharist. Thursday night, the entire community pitched in to recreate a replica of Old Mexico in the gym area. Friday evening, Rockhurst was victorious over Shawnee Mission South in the Homecoming Game. At half time the final Queen candidates were presented by their fathers to their respective dates. The couples included Shawn Schmelzle and Meg O’Connor, John Giocondo and Missy Webb, Matt Knopke and Barbara Ervin, Todd Lanter and Kim Finks, and Paul Freeman and Wendy Frizzell. The Homecoming Dance on Saturday concluded the week. BY JAMES HOOPER, JR„ EDITOR-IN-CHIEF 12 Homecoming ’88
