Sunny days and seniors welcome frosh Welcome Week took a different form because our new principal, Father Brelford, discontinued the tradition of freshman initiation. Despite the seniors' disappointment, many new activities replaced the frosh-senior initiation. Lunch time events consisted of class vs. class tug- of-war in which the senior men demon- strated their superior strength. The ex- ecutive board sponsored a three- legged race and the juniors handed out suckers and posted spirited signs welcoming the Class of '84 The Out- doors Club also got into the act by sponsoring a raffle and trail-mix sale. At the end of the week, Mr. Schulte and the Pep Squad put on a fantastic pep rally which introduced school teams and the executive board. The week ended with our first foot- ball game against St. Bernard’s. The Mariners showed outstanding school spirit which resulted in a 7-0 victory!
