After the game, Knights begin Searching for a Sanctuary After the drudgery of 40 class hours, the week- end arrives. It is most heartily welcomed as a relief to the middle-of- the-week, 2-tests-l-quiz- a-day blues. A major highlight of the weekend usually includes some athletic activity, such as a football or basketball game. As the rivalry and competition peak on the field of play, the stands exude with the rowdiness of excess en- ergy finding a healthy outlet. But what do you do after the game? In Toledo, it takes someone truly creative to find something unique. The old standards seem much more popular. For those wanting to pig out after the game, McDonald ' s, Burger King, or Wend ; ' s offer a burger and fries to satisfy the hunger pangs. If it ' s not burgers you crave, then a pizza from Little Caesar ' s, Pizza Hut, or Godfather ' s may hit the spot. After the chow, video games enter the picture. Fat Daril ' s, Putt-Putt, or Ozzie ' s often swarm with bodies wanting to unwind. For those, however, who prefer to avoid the crowded fast food scene and mellow out, there are other options to choose from. Since late night television is a sanctuary of creative talent, arrang- ing to meet at a predestined house after the game to watch Fridays, Saturday Night Live reruns, or Second City Television has grown in popularity. Only a hoser would turn down such a chance. As always, however, for those who are more ambitious, a good party can be found someixihere in the Toledo area. Being creative after the game can be difficult, but most Knights make the best of it. Only a hoser wouldn ' t.

Bancroft Street becomes a parade route with A Touch of Class The excitement and extravaganza of this year ' s Homecoming activities were heightened by a special school-wide parade featuring five classic cars donated for the school ' s use by Danny Sutphin Ford in Oregon, Ohio. Leading the parade was a 1978 Indianapolis 500 Pace car. This beautifully furnished auto, a Cadillac with a red velvet interior, carried principal Fr. Olszewski and academic d ean Fr. O ' Neill. It was followed by three 1929 Model A reproductions. The first was a black roadster pick up truck driven by Mrs. Lori Szymanski and Mr. Dave Comes. A silver roadster driven by Mr. Steve Loomis followed. Mrs. Sue Conrad drove the last Model A, a rare Super Deluxe white car which was once a member of the Polar Bear Series. Rounding out this line of unique cars was a 1973 customized Mustang — the last of its type ever to be assembled. Bro. Jim Roth drove the powder blue car which had the superb distinction of being the Grand National Winner of Show Cars. This year ' s parade was a first in school history — and it ranked in a class all its own.D — John Pierce Paradc 13

Ah, a chance to relax. It ' s Party Time Friday ' s last bell has rung, and another long school week has been completed. To be sure, the student has many things to look forward to in the very near future: a long weekend, a big game, or, among upperclassmen, a party. Ah, a party, the perfect weekend. Upperclassmen find parties can create a better atmosphere for relaxing and socializing than a game or a dance. There is more a sense of being my own boss — of goofing off the way I want to goof off. Open or closed. A small house party of 12 or a large yard party, complete with a bonfire, of over 100. It makes little difference. The key is relaxing my own way. The hecticness of the school week is behind me. It ' s a chance to talk with people I haven ' t seen in a long time, listen to my favorite music without being afraid of making too much noise, and generally having a good time. It ' s an excellent way to relieve pressures that have built up. While fast food joints still remain popular, the party seems to be the order of the day for the upperclassman.n — John Stengle After the Game 15
