lACC u inn6 t8 in tun-a-tfion io i i lcfeotape Junds And they're off! Not the Kentucky Derby, nor the 500 mile race, but the run-a- thon runners (and walkers). A special assembly in early May was the means of bringing the idea before the stu- dents and faculty. Students and teachers could run or walk either a one mile or a five mile course, asking friends and relatives to sponsor them for an agreed sum per mile. Enthusiastic students turned in about 550 intend to run forms, and although the day brought no sunshine to cheer their spirits, they turned out in full force, run- ning or walking through the drizzle on the half-holiday declared in honor of the event. Mr. Ken Leffler and Mr. Ott Hurrle as- sumed charge. Video tape equipment and a program on birth defects were goals for the fund-rais- ing. As an incentive, those bringing in $30 in pledges received a T-shirt which read, Scecina Run-a-thon. About $3800 in pledges was turned in by May 22. This represented a profit of $2200 after the T-shirts were paid for. Extra T- shirts will be used next year in the same way. Mr. Leffler commented, We hope to do better next year with better organization and maybe better weather. Mr. Riley commented at the assembly that Ritter High School has had this type of event for several years, and it seems to grow bigger each time. We can do the same, he said. EAGER TO START, Dan McCarthy urges Mr. Riley to shoot the starting gun for the five-mile course. Those unable to walk or run the distant helped by pointing the way, timing the rui ners or distributing completion cards. Some made a holiday out of it by singir along the way — particularly a group choir members who took part in the sprin musical. Sister Mary Lynne remarkec It's a good thing they sound better tha that in their performances. Although it was not a competitive effor Mr. Tucker kept track of the times of th first ones in. Freshman Steve Graves cam in first in the one-mile run, with a time c six minutes, seven seconds. Jim Erlenbaug and Chris Crabtree ran five miles in 3 minutes, 1 2 seconds and 31:13 respective!] SOMEWHAT LESS EAGER, Stephenie Harder Sandy Brite. and Latonia Patterson plod along the las mile of the long course. RAIN OR PERSPIRATION Probably both for Ke- vin Vannoy who finished the five-mile course in less than 35 minutes. i

This was the question asked by Aidan Moriarty as he was drawing a picture on his group's bean can. The sophomore classes re- ceived a day free from regular school in December — their re- treat day. The students along with their moderators met in the gym to discuss the theme of the class retreat, Waiting as Belong- ing. One project to illustrate the theme of waiting was the plant- ing of bean seeds in decorated cans. Later, sophs could watch them grow on windowsills in classrooms. Retreatants were asked ques- tions pertaining to what they were waiting for. Most of the answers, centering around Christmas, birthdays, and driv- er's licenses, were expected, al- though some gave unusual an- swers such as the end of the world, or death. At the end of the retreat, the sophomores celebrated Mass with the moderators and Father Ron Ashmore, chaplain. 84 Sophomores
