Born To Run WE ARE HERE FOR MORE THAN JUST AN EDUCATION . . . Evading junior Jeff Sawicki, junior ballcarrier John Zoldak heads for pay dirt as sophomore Bob Lipscik and junior Pat Moffatt look on. Free periods often found students playing football on the decimated athletic field or frisbee on the verdent Commons. THROUGH EACH OTHER WE GAIN NEW INSIGHTS . • • Senior Jim Woidke plays the rolo of counselor in lending his ear to the pressing problems of his counselee. Mr. Humbert Polito. W© run the race for more than just an education: we are here to make friends—to grow socially too. Whether it be a big basketball game or Homecoming Dance, we can get together outside of our daily routine and have fun. Did you hear Kevin's having a party tonight? No, where? In the woods by his house—don't tell many people. Be there. Hey are you guys playing in the Pat's tournament? Yeah, are you? Yeah, for sure. Are you any good? You bet. Who's on your team? Oh, Pat, Chris, a couple of kids from Ed's . . . We'll kick your butts. Lots. Got your tickets for M.S.B.? John's gettin' 'em today. He's driving. That's gonna be an excellent concert. No doubt. Are you going with Jim? Yeah . . . Catch you later. See you guys by the tree. We renew these friendships at parties and concerts. Far beyond the walls of the school a diverse student body is brought together in an atmosphere of fun and excitement. Where are you thinking about goin' to school? I'd like to go to Michigan. Oh, you want to be a lawyer? Yeah . . . What are thinkin' about? I'm trying to get into Case. Pre-med? Yeah. Not bad. Goals—essentially that is what we are all about. We enter as freshmen with goals of good grades, involvement, and friendships. Over the course of our four years we redefine and refine our goals. We exit with goals of college, career, and life. Other, less obvious goals we set for ourselves too: winning the next game, passing the next test, joining an extracurricular. All are important. For, win or lose, pass or fail, goals are something to aim at. In our struggle to attain them we improve ourselves. We grow. And always we run. We train ourselves to ignore the strains, the cramps, the setbacks; the finish line—the new goal—is ever in sight. Some win. Others fall short. But we persist. Our goal isn't necessarily to win all our races, but to finish all of them. Each new race we enter we are better prepared to win. We are Born To Run. Where is your next game? B.W. If we win we go to Canton. Gonna do it? I hope so. 6 Thame

“Oh, first find the verb. Like 'laudant'? “Yeah, then try to find the subject and the object. Oh, so it'd be 'Caesar praises the Romans'? No, ’laudant' is plural, so it has to be the Romans, and Caesar is accusative. “ ’The Romans praise Caesar'? Yup “Hey, thanks a lot, buddy. Communication with teachers and fellow students stimulates us to grow. Through each other we gain new insights. We learn. Our ambitions and goals become clearer—we reach for some finish line. “Jack, you think you can give me a ride home? I don't know, I gotta go up to the EYE office. Really . . . you think you can get me in that? Yeah, why don't you come up with me. Alright. “Where are you goin'? Oh, I gotta return these Scholarship Drive tickets. Oh. Sold many? “Yeah, I sold about fourteen books. Happy! Where'd you sell 'em? Just around. Do! Are you gonna help deliver canned food tomorrow? “Yeah, I think so. Can you drive? “Sure, I got a station wagon. Cool. “How many houses are we gonna do? About fifty or so. Wow. Outside the classroom, in extra-curriculars, we make the school our own. When we participate in these activities, wo acquire a new perspective of the school and develop college or career goals. We grow—academically, socially, athletically, and spiritually. The goal and challenge of becoming involved is everyone's, and most succeed. “You going to the Penn Hills game? “Lots. I'm going to J.B. Really? “Concert of the year. Wouldn't miss it. “How you gettin' there? “I think I'm driving. How you gonna get to Pittsburgh? “Probably take that bus. Gonna be a bad time? Hope so! Hey, have you talked to Anne lately? Not really. Why don't you take her to Homecoming? She's kind of a Bummer. Yeah. Born To Run IN EXTRACURRICU-LARS. WE MAKE THE SCHOOL OUR OWN The finishing touches are put on a poster by Poster Club membors Tom Corrigan. Pat Salem, President Chuck Napoli, and Kevin McGreal. The Poster Club provides the color for the sports and social events of the school. WE TRAIN OURSELVES TO IGNORE THE SETBACKS . . . The pain of a knee injury and the agony of defeat at the hands of Penn Hills are reflected on John Gerace's face. Geracc was sidelined because of the injury. Thome 5

WE RENEW FRIENDSHIPS AT CONCERTS . . . The powerful music of Yes echoes through tho Coliseum, casting a euphoric spell on all. Their September concert inspired many students to forget the books for a night and to make the trip to Richfield. WE CAN GET TOGETHER OUTSIDE THE DAILY ROUTINE AND HAVE FUN ... A bruin . . . is a castrated pig. reads Mr. Charles Kyle at the Padua Rally. Incredulous at this etymological definition, senior Eric Pfaff scrutinizes the Webster’s. He confirmed it. Thus, by popular consent, the Wildcats faced the Padua Castrated Pigs on September 20. Theme 7
