September: A New Beginning The fiery Bruce Drennan exhorts the students at the St. Joe's rally to support their team at the upcoming game. There is a song which urges to try to remember that time in September . This year’s opening month provided no dearth of exciting happenings to recall fondly. We dragged ourselves from an exciting summer to the prospect of another excellent year on August 28. the earliest start in memory. The first major event was the Mass of the Holy Spirit which was held at St. john’s Cathedral. After the Mass a mock funeral procession, lead by a real hearse, wound its sinous form through the streets of downtown back to school in time for a rally in preparation for the football opening against St. Joe’s. The other highlight of the month came diametrically opposed to the first, hence at the end. Utilizing the newly installed all weather track, the Development office replaced the Walk-a-thon with a Jog-a-thon. Instead of marching fifteen miles, each class level had an hour set aside for them during which they strove to complete as many laps as possible. Unfortunately, rain found it necessary to rear its wet head making the day extremely sloppy. After each class had finished its designated time, refreshments were served in the Carroll Gym. September, combining excellent starts for the athletic teams, scholastics, spirit, and good fun, set the tone for the entire year. The ribbon for Phase I of the Development Drive is cut hv Mr. Wasmer who's family contributed a generous donation toward the completion of the field and track. H September Ha
