0 Ll 5 i sz my og' fl Hurst for the golden uirtorg The river of Cafet ran through the lowlands of Academe. It was a furious, roaring tributary leading to the unknomm - an ancient test for warriors. The key of victory was concealed below its gilded waves. l'Death smiles in those waters. l'Courage, fine knight. l'Legends speak of the burning pain. Ulindurance and skill. l cannot survive alone, magic user Unity, wise knight. Take the first step and victory shall follow. With a harsh breath, the knight stepped into the rapids. The dark water was soothing and cool. Atop one shell lay a golden key. Trembling, the knight grasped it. Once again they stood before the Door of the Heart. 'lWhat remains, magic user? the knight whispered. l'The most difficult challenges, uncertain knight. How much time have we? Until the next moonrise, knight, then the darkness remains forever.

I . BICCRIHQ gives extra power to a team which ln becoming a mnning team, one of the most important, though often neglected, factors was school support. This year, the volleyball team actively cam- paigned to arouse student inter- est in their sport. One way in which they did so was by an- nouncing the results of games during assembly and asking the student body to improve atten- dance at each upcoming match. With more people cheering them on, members played with greater enthusiasm. According to Mary- Grace Santagata, lt was great when everyone was there. lt was easier to play when the school was behind you and friends were there, and harder when it was only relatives. 'seg 5944 2 A demands respect One game which generated a large amount of support was the match with a traditional rival, St. Mary's of New Haven. Preceding this event, girlsxfrom the volley- ball team decorated the gym with banners and balloons to create excitement throughout the school. On the fateful day a large crowd filled the bleachers, lined the walls and overflowed onto the stage. The spectators, mostly upperclassmen who had come to see friends on the varsi- ty squad, added encouragement and successfully boosted the volleyball team's morale: they won the match, and therefore qualified for the state touma- ment, proving that school spirit really did count. 47K-1 gffft J . ,WH . , Q V X' W , ' I , V A ' A , :E Maw' f l,,,, ,.,, ' .
