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.

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
