Forensics This year the forensic pro- gram at Saint Michael became one of the leading activities in the school. Under the direction of lVlr. Bobinski, moderator, and chapter president James lVlcKibben, our NFL chapter now ranks with the leading schools in the Pittsburgh district. Apart from participating every weekend at district tourna- ments, our chapter has hosted five events here, and has sponsored several service projects. lt is difficult for a school of our size to maintain itself among the large schools in our district, but the enthusiasm of our twently-one members has enabled us to keep on top. The motto of our chapter and of our Sigma Lambda Sigma honor society is I Call a Spade a Spade, and the record of our chapter in student congress, extemp, and orig- inal oratory proves that our motto does indeed express the spirit of our chapter. Although thirteen of our members will graduate, our ex- ceptional underclass members will provide a nucleus around which to continue to build an ever growing NFL program here at Saint Michael. WE'RE GREAT! Underclassmen NFL members under the guidance of Mr. John Bobinski, share their knowledge with each other and aim to keep the spirit high at St. Michael's. MONEY PROBLEMS!

5? i Ring Day .S l ...J HAPPINESS IS YOUR SENIOR CLASS RING-The proudest pos- session of a Senior is his class ring. I don't think J. Geraci, C. Hawkins, and K. Lozecki would disagree as they show off their rings to Sister Celestine. THEY TAGGED ME! Senior C. Becker is the victim of C. Barrett as he enters the Chinese Hall of Fame and Fortune at the Ring Day Dance. SOLEMN AT LAST-Though you seldom see a senior without a smile Ring Day is one day happiness was felt in the heart and a quiet stillness lingered over the senior classes. JUNIORS SHOW SPIRIT-To add to the joy of Senior Ring Day the church resounded with the angelic voices of the Juniors who were accompanied by Sister Carole and Sister Marie Therese.

Around Our School fi SE? SHARED-TIME STUDENTS. One of the numerous activities our school participates in is the shared-time program. This program enables stu- dents from Saint Michael to take up trades at South High or Con- nelly Vocational. This is truly an asset to our school because we lack the facilities to provide this type of education for our students. Caught by the camera during one of their studies are the following Seniors who participate in this program: M. Kostiuk, J. Geraci, K. Lozecki, D. Bielewicz, D. Koerbel, and N. Linke. WE GIVE THEE THANKS OH LORD . . . After receiving their class rings in church, these Seniors R. Rauber, A. DeTemple, P. Wilhelm, N. Donovan, and J. Bronder, enjoy breakfast prepared for them by the Juniors. LEADERSHIP DAY. M. L. Clerici has an opportunity to get experience in the teaching profession as she takes over the class as a student teacher. Leader- ship Day is one of the highlights here at Saint Michael. It gives the students an insight on the responsibilities of a competent teacher. A WHISKEY BOTTLEqSfM,t!8t Relax, it's just the Prom Committee's way of raising money for the prom. These students D. Karcher, G. Trimbur, C. Kamp, and D. Simon are doing their best to make sure we have adequate funds for our prom . P
