Good afternoon! I am Lindsey Kallhoff. And I am Michael Jeffrey. And

we’re here this week with the St. Mary’s school news.

This morning the eighth grade class prepared our weekly high school

Mass. The Mass was planned by Sr. Anita and celebrated by Reverend Mark

Filips.

After Mass, Mr. Raymond Scott took pictures for students who are

applying for passports for the trip to Europe next spring. Then Van Allen from

Norfolk came out to take pictures of all of the fall sports and activity groups for

this year’s yearbook.

We ended the off-the-regular-schedule day with our monthly celebration of

Benediction at 3 o’clock.

In the fine arts department the first rehearsal for St. Mary’s 2001 one act

play,

Do Not Go Gentle, was held Monday at 7:00 a.m. The cast is Ashely Braun as

Lillian Barron, Shannon Holz as Joanna, Nick Nord as Windsor, Laura Cameron

as Kelly, Kathryn Fuscher as Mildred Flumac and Lyle Berryman as Nobody.

This year’s student director is Emily Dugan. Ms. Goettertz is the director and is

assisted by Mrs. Merri Schneider. Do Not Go Gentle was written by Suzan L.

Zeder. It is a Comedy/Drama. The tryouts were last Wednesday. The one act

group will be holding early morning practices for the next several weeks.

The teachers’ aides this year are Chris Havranek with kindergarten, Mary

Kersenbrock with the first grade, Staci Givens with the second grade, Sara Kelly

with the third grade, Michelle Shoemaker with the fifth grade, Chris Bahrij with the

sixth grade, and Brent Kelly, Joe Pongratz, and Ashley Braun in the high school.

Katie Cameron is the office assistant in the high school and Kristen Carr helps

out in the elementary school office.. Most of these people volunteer to TA, but

some aide the teachers for credit. The TA’s job is to help the teachers with

grading papers, making copies, and performing various other tasks. The

students’ TA times depend on whether they are working for credit or volunteering.

Tomorrow St. Mary’s will not be in session due to a teachers inservice that

will take place in Norfolk. Also on Monday, October 8, the students will have a

late start at 9:30 because of the regularly scheduled monthly teachers’ meeting

that morning.

In class news the seniors will be selling tickets for the drawing for three

tickets for the Nebraska versus Kansas football game in Lincoln on November 10.

They will sell them tomorrow at the volleyball and football games and at all the

remaining home football and volleyball games.

The St. Mary’s junior high Cards’ football team again showed another

promising victory this week. On Monday the Cardinals traveled to Spencer to

take on the Spencer-Naper Pirates. The Cards dominated the whole game as

they have done all season, coming out with an impressive victory, 48-8. Coach
