Spirit Mass Sets Tone The annual celebration of the Mass for the entire student body held at St. John’s Cathedral on East Ninth Street and its subsequent rally contributed much to the success of the school year. The Mass itself provided the first chance for the students of the new school year to worship as a whole in the splendor and awe inspiring surroundings of St. John's. The ceremony was thoroughly planned for by the clergy and students who read the passages or performed various selections for the Mass. The preparation was evident in the quality of the Mass and the conduct of the student body contributed much to the enjoyment and appreciation of the event. The rally held after the Mass of the Holy Spirit back at school prepared the students for yet another football season begun with a game against rival Holy Name. Just as the spirit of worship was evident at the Mass, the spirit of the students in support of the Wildcats was evident in the cheers and noise created during the rally. From these two events, the level of spirit for the year was set and remained throughout the year. Fr. Ken Styles delivers the final blessing to the St. Ignatius student body as the Mass of the Holy Spirit comes to a close.

Homecoming The homecoming weekend of 1982 was a major success. Despite the loss to Padua a good time was had by all including both students and alumni. Starting on Saturday with the Padua game the spirits stayed high all weekend. The halftime ceremony captivated the attention of all that were present. This years homecoming court featured this years queen Erika Schmidt who was escorted by Dan Brogan. Erika prevailed over the other five members of this years court: Cheryl Coste. Jackie Espelage, Maureen McNally. Sue Dettling, and Mindy Contly. After the game some students and most of the alumni present returned to the school for an Alumni party. Since the party caused the homecoming dance to postponed until Octover 30. the alumni invited the students back to school for the party. That is usually attended only by the alumni. The Homecoming Dance also attracted a huge turnout. The dance featured a variety of music including selections by Men At Work and several other popular songs played by Laugh In The Dark. The Homecoming Dance was by far one of the more successful social events of the year. Homecoming court was representative of many area girls schools. Homecoming 15
