Valiant Efforts Fail 4- A ,., Despite unfortunate results, this year's Homecoming Came at Hanson Stadium once again displayed a valiant effort by our football team. Although our team held Marist scoreless through the first half, Mar- ist retaliated in the third and fourth quar- ters. One highlight of the game was a 78 yard kickoff return by Mickey McGuire bringing the ball to the 22 yard line, Though failing to score, our team picked up its only points with a safety. During this game, Mike Bersani led the defense with 6 tackles while Kevin Gregory and lohn Haniacek aided the defense with 5 and 4 tackles respectively.

Supporting Our Shamrocks i Among its opening activities for the new school year, the Student Council organized and ran the events of the Homecoming Week. Because of the celebration of Columbus Day on Monday, Homecoming Week officially opened with Grub Day on Tuesday. Students were allowed to wear jeans, gym shoes, hats, and rock T-shirts during the school day. Wednesday brought the students an opportunity to do something that they normally do not get to do: throw pies fshaving cream on a spongel at their favorite teachers. Bro. Anthony, Bro. Kevin, Mr. Collins, and Dean Schmidt willingly sacrificed their faces to the flying shaving cream pies thrown by their loyal admirers, The next day's homecoming events brought us into the school cafeteria. Instead of the traditional Ice Cream Social, which normally takes place, the Student Council sponsored a different kind of social, called the Sub-Pub. There, nine inch submarine sandwiches were sold, along with other refreshments. Here, also, the Battle of Guitarists took place in which St. Pat's best guitarists com- peted for a twenty-five dollar first prize. Faculty members heard and voted on the ,best guitarist and decided that Mike Yates was the win- 10 ! Student Life fcontinued on next pagej Qi, Q- ...E Wi. f X fqnpf
