Student Council Enacts Reform Student Council Officers are: Vicky Levett, treasurer, Ed Castaneda, secretary, Steve Hoover, vice-president, and Harry Lauri, president. School lunches, fire drills, lockers, Student Court, assemblies, signs in the hall, respect for teachers and school property, and the daily Mass schedule were among the diversified topics dis- cussed within the 1969 Student Council in an at- tempt to strengthen communication between the student body and faculty. In September, the Student Council officers and representatives attended a clinic in Manhattan to prepare them for the various duties of a Stuco member. An especially important reform enacted by the Student Council this year involved the daily Mass schedule. So that those desiring to attend daily Mass would be given ample opportunity, Student Council members voted to begin classes at 8:00 a. m. with an optional Mass scheduled at 10:45. This plan went into effect with the approval of the Board of Education. Besides reforming the daily schedule, Student Council also received permission for a represen- tative to appear before the faculty at its regular meetings to bring out student grievances and defend constructive suggestions. Stuco representatives: (back row) Gus Gustafson, Pat Pound, Jeff Wild, Steve Hoover, (front row) Tom Winterscheidt, Cathy Teply, Linda Grant, Peter Murphy. Students participate in daily Mass at 10:45, a Student Council project. 23

Cheerleaders Exhibit Spirit and Loyalty Varsity Cheerleaders Being all Seniors, the varsity cheerleaders were united not only in a special friendship but also in an undying loyalty to their team and SXHS. Their unquenchable spirits succeeded in leading the en- thusiasm of the Pep Club. Soaring from deep despair to exhausted hap- piness, the five varsity cheerleaders practiced long hours to master their many new cheers. Along with new cheers, the varsity cheerleaders opened the 68-69 season proudly wearing their new blue and gold uniforms. A-team cheerleaders: Sheila Nicholson, Sylvia Tighe, Linda Grant (head), Janice Rombeck, and Janet Velt- man. B-Team Cheerleaders Helping the varsity cheerleaders rouse spirit and zest in the students of SXHS are the B-team cheer- leaders. Many hours of practice went into prepara- tion for cheering during the football and basketball games and at pep rallies. Wearing their new uni- forms, the B-team succeeded in showing loyalty to their team and school. B-team cheerleaders: Pippy Engstrom, Mary Meseke, Connie Perilla (head), Leslie Jones, and Margot Mathey. Both cheerleading squads lead the Pep Club in Stop, Look, and Listen . 22

Workshop Prepares Xaverian Staff Planning, editing, and managing a yearbook involves long hours of work, a sacrifice of valuable time, and the constant pressure of threating deadlines. The ten members of the 1969 Xaverian Staff were faced with these problems. Striving to overcome their challenging problems, seven members of the Xaverian Staff attended the High School Publications Workshop held at Kansas State University from June 3-8. The workshop offered lectures on the fundamental principles of Journalism and gave the staff a chance to plan and organize their 1969 yearbook. The Xaverian Staff also attended a yearbook clinic at Abilene on September 10, to increase their knowledge of making layouts, writing copy, and handling business affairs. Yet all these long hours of work proved extremely rewarding for the yearbook staff as they captured the fond memories of another year at St. Xavier's. Xaverian staff members: (Standing) Mike Kopmeyer, Collette Fiffe, John Helton, Jeff Wild. (Sitting) Pam Mudd and Connie Perilla. 24
