Ski The St. Agnes Ski Club com- pleted its fourth year with a new record - no casualties. Each Friday night for eight weeks, 75 girls took to the slopes of Bristol Mountain. It is said if you can survive the bus ride, Rocket Run holds no threat. Hot chili, heavy boots, frozen hands and toes, ski- school lessons and broken poles will remain in the memories of every Ski Club graduate. Whether you lose a contact lens halfway down the slope or triumphantly per- fect your parallel, it never fails to be a truly remarkable experience. P' ' -0 T1

4. 14.14. Volleyball, anyone? Or maybe you prefer soccer, basketball, softball or skiing. The G. A. A. has filled its schedule this year with all these activities. Games with Mercy, Naz- areth, Columbia, Kearney, Mooney, and Avon have been held outside, inside, in our gym or theirs. Increasing numbers of girls have been 'seen roaring down the slopes at Bristol. The G. A. A. provides excitement and fun for both spectators and members. 6detoma4,4 idribble, dribble, little ball, how we wonder where you'll falli All around, the masses sit and students cheer in screaming fits. ltravel, travel, teacher dear the referee is drawing neari Teachers make the first two points, though sultering from aching ioints. lout of bounds, you nasty ball! get back in, til half time's called.i Slster Jean forgets to duck, becomes first fowler -- that's her luck! i rah - rah - ree! yell varsity fans, they wildly stamp and clap their hands.i Maria Nichols gets rebounds and Bruckle whips that ball around, and makes a basket every time. To call that less than best is crime. iwho is next to substitute? Perhaps Miss Dutcher? She looks so cuteli Father Cushing plays well, indeed and Mr. Smith has amazing speed. Add Mr. Herbert to this pair and they're so good, it's hardly fair. l water, water, pleads Sister Jean can't cross this line? you sure are mean! i The score changes fast, the difference is vast. No, wait, it's now close, so which team can boast? lgrapefruit, grapefruit on my shirt squeeze your's hard to get a squirt.l Such spirit was shown by the fans in the bleachers, And no one believed that these were our teachers. Two such sillies put on a half-time show Sr. .loan and Sr. Carol carried on so. The game ended soon after this commotion, and although faculty won, we have our own notion. The students knowing well of the faculty's image, let the teachers win, to avoid a scrimmage. But this is the score: it's repeated as true, Teachers won 47 to varsity's 42. Kathryn Gaspar '71

A, Linda Smith, Photography Co-Editor J' Jean Shady, Associate Editor thePa!m Once upon a time there was a press room. lt was a large room with gleaming windows, so it was always full of fresh air and sun- shine to inspire the minds of edi- tors and staff. But a dark cloud passed over that era when the school was forced to repossess the Palm room, and turn it into another uniform, mundane class- room. ln the face of this dilemma, the editors found themselves in another room, small and window- less, with a constant temperature of 89 degrees. lt came as a sur- prise to the staff that they would be sharing it with an assortment of classes, from German l, to Ad- vanced Calculus. But fate struck again when the two sides of the room found it difficult to work in harmony. Enter Press Room :H:3, a four by four vacant bed- room below the convent. With no time left to completely move, the editors were forced to work out of two rooms, separated by numerous halls, the cafeteria, and an underground tunnel. Alas, these were difficult times, but surely the editors did rise out of the despairingly dreary depths of discord, to the brilliant ecstacy of achievement. 136 Linda Smith and ' Susan Dziengielewski, Photography Co-Editors
