Zhe Best Part Of Beauty . . . . Who ya’ gonna vote for? Who ya’ takin’ to the dance? Whose house ya’ gonna “T.P.”? What are you gonna wear? These questions and many more filled the excited halls of St. X. during spirit week, October 12-17. The spirit week, organized by the Ramblin’ Rams, consisted of “Hat Day’’, “Sunglasses Day”, “Tie Day”, and “Dress Up Day”. A banquet of ham and turkey was given for the athletes, coaches, and faculty on Thursday. After the banquet the tradition of “T.P. ing” was carried out by the cheerleaders, Ramlin’ Rams, and energetic football players. Friday was filled with excite- ment and curiosity. Plus, the cheerleaders gave a pep rally that afternoon. As the students and faculty gathered into the gym they were introduced to the candidates by a skit similar to the dating game with Mr. Dixson as the eligible bachelor. Half-time of the St. X.-Luckey game finally rolled around with the cheerleaders presenting a rou- tine to “Give Me The Night” by George Benson. The Ramblin’ Rams entered the field to form a half-moon. Suspense filled the air as the Homecoming candidates Yvonne Quinton escorted by Jose Davis; Marie Fiffe with escort John Mar- shall; and Mary Boiler with escort Jeff Keating, were introduced. Joe Mattingly and Bob Hall an- nounced the new Queen, Yvonne Quinton, as Monsignor Keogan placed the crown and Mr. Cale presented her with the royal blue cape. After the victory, there was a dance in the assembly room. The students and their guests danced to the music of D.J. Doug Devin.

“Zinte for Me Zo Jly” As the end of the 1981 school year rolled around, so did the Junior-Senior prom. The big social event was held at the Hil- ton Inn Hotel in the Rainbow Room. Decorations consisting of doves, clouds, lots of crepe pa- per, and candles serving as centerpieces carried out the theme, “Time For Me To Fly”. All decor was in Senior colors, burgandy and gold. Shortly after 7:00, junior class secretary Melanie Griffin took the floor and read proph- ecies for each senior. These ranged from a future astronaut to a housewife with twelve chil- dren. Following the phophe- cies, welcoming speeches were presented by junior class presi- dent Lisa Majerus and junior class sponsor, Mrs. Opat. Final- ly, Monsignor Keogan rose from his seat and gave the tra- ditional prayer, thus signaling everyone to “munch down”. The dinner menu included roast beef, mashed potatoes, green beans, dinner rolls, tea, coffee, and cake. Music was provided by the four piece band, Champion, from Kansas City. Their music ranged from AC DC, Black Sa- bath, to Led Zeppelin. The dinner and dance came to a close around twelve o’clock, but the partying didn’t. Senior Tricia Tomandl hosted the after prom party at her house for both the juniors and seniors. After breakfast was served at 3:00 a.m. some people called it a night, but for others the fun continued into the latter hours of Saturday morning.
