Those who attended the gala affair were pleasantly surprised by the appearance of a band, and proceeded to have a fantastic night in the Old West. The student body barely had a breather before East-West Day exploded into being. This festive activity saw the senior class go wild in the mire of Wasmer Field, and beheld the underclassmen catching the rowdy tone from the seniors at the rally which followed the day's events. The student body continued its support for athletic teams when they competed against other schools. The basketball team posted some impressive victories, as did the swimmers and grapplers. All events which transpired during this month were not concerned with sports, however. The spiritual side of the student was exercised through the S.C.I.P. Canned Food Drive and the Christmas Mass, which was attended by all students. The student also continued his intellectual development, and eagerly awaited the longed-for Christmas vacation. The student used this respite from school's arduous grind to its fullest potential. with participation in many different activities: such as skiing, going to dances, or catching up on needed sleep. Thus, this month saw many additional facets of student life, as the student body prepared to enter a new decade’s challenges refreshed and ready.
