Break Out the Madewell's Below Right At Blthop James lyk© proceeds down the aisle, he Is amazed at the molurl-ty ot the student body. Bishop lyke't homily urged those present to have the courage to overcome the temptations ol society. Below It's that way, right? wonders one Ireshmon at his classmates line up to proceed back to school. Proud to have been recognized as a part ot the community, the treshmen eagerly await the experience ot their first rally. With the ending of summer '86 comes the close of a previous century and the dawn of a new one. It's also the start of another school year. Once again we break out the Madewell’s and the Sperry's and prepare ourselves for the intellectual shock we are about to be subjected to. What better way to dig into a new year than by keeping a date with the Holy Spirit and rallying to the cause of Wildcat High's shining knights of the football field. At the Mass of the Holy Spirit, the new members of the community, the freshmen, were recognized by Bishop Lyke and were officially commissioned to perform their duties as men for others. Last year's juniors were now issued the rank of senior, new juniors were dubbed “upperclassmen , and new sophs gained a step on the ladder. Chaos stepped onto the scene after Mass as the spruced-up students poured onto the streets surrounding St. John's Cathedral in their z.eal to get back to the first rally of the 1986-1987 sport season. No fatalities were reported as the students, blazers still on their backs, eddied and flowed into the Sullivan Gym in anticipation of the new century's first rally. As an electric guitar boomed in the background, the students slowly came to order and took their respective places in the bleachers. When the Wildcats took the floor, however, every student lost his composure and cheered wildly for the football team and the band. “We may not win every game this year, said Mr. Kyle, “but I promise that we will be the hardest hitting team in the city. No doubt, that is what brought the team its first victory over Lake Catholic. Returning to school is difficult for most, easy for some. The Mass of the Holy Spirit and the rally made this return much easier than the previous hundred. A fine way to say “Welcome Back . 10 Student Life

Summer Blues Click. Bon-n-nn-g. Click. The very last period of the final day of school comes to an end. Although every single student has asked for this moment since the very first period of the opening day, no one wants to immediately flee this place ... Most will linger awhile, bidding fond farewells to special teachers, discussing plans to keep in contact with friends, or just taking a final look at the halls, classrooms, and buildings of the school. And then, and only then, can summer really BEGIN!!! Option one: Find a job. Summer jobs, while they are a far cry from anything exciting, do provide a steady income and enough spending money to keep you well stocked for the season. Positions are available: dishwashing, busing, stacking, cooking, and caddying just to name a few. Unfortunately, many of these jobs have long lists of candidates already waiting for the positions. For this reason, some students choose to mow lawns or deliver newspapers instead. Option two: Go on a vacation! For those families lucky enough to to have the financial wherewithal to do so, Florida, California, and the Hast Coast remain the hot spots to visit over summer break. Most of us however, must remain content with some Ohio sight-seeing, nightly adventures at the lake, and a day or two at Cedar Point with friends or family. Option three. Sit back and enjoy the summer day-by-day. There are concerts to go to, small social gatherings to attend, and plenty of opportunities to engage with the opposite sex. Summer is a time to hang-out, fool-around, and work on that tan. Ribfest, Riverfest, the Flats, and flicks are all very popular. The options go on. Some say they are infinite. No one's ever really counted. Lett: A summer In the air sounds Inviting to rookie tlyers Matt Hits and Mark Gabrovsek as Beth Gorhlng and Angle Petrie practice their Broadway kicks on the wings.
