Concertizing, parade-marching, and plain old "jazzing it up" ... Around Rice, while most school activities tended to begin in September, the Band, including its incoming Freshman members, started in early June, when new marching techniques were learned, and later put into practice during the Band's regular marching season, which consisted of four football halftimes, two major parades, and a tour to Florida, where the group played in Disney World, Sea World, and Circus World.

The Chorus consists of almost one hundred Brother Rice and Mother McAuley students. Brother Perkins has directed the group during the past five years in addition to assisting with the Concert Band. The Chorus has grown significantly during Brother Perkins' tenure; over the course of the year, they performed for the Dads' Club, student body, and during formal concert situations. Their repertoire runs from the serious to the popular, and Around Rice their contribution is invaluable.

Around Rice, the scholastic, aesthetic, and "neat" atmosphere is helped to a great extent by the efforts of the Brother Rice Mothers' Club. Many of these dedicated women come together on the second Wednesday of each month to demonstrate in a concrete way their interest in their sons. Brother Hennessy moderates the group, assisted by Brother Coleman. Whether it's a Fashion Show, the Spring Fling, the Ad Book, or a regular meeting, in one way or another, the school's reputation and facilities are enhanced.

Around Rice, the Dads' Club can always be counted upon for their eager support of school activities, especially through the Ushers Club group. Dances, Basketball games, Football games, indoors and outdoors, the Dads are there to help out. In addition, their fundraising activities have traditionally been a big help in keeping things as lively as they are during the school year. Led by President George Miller and Moderator Br. Martin, the Dads have managed to turn in their usual contribution to the school's spirit.

The group has two main purposes: to raise money for the various athletic teams and to maintain the old friendships which were begun during their son's four years in Brother Rice. Around Rice, the athletes would not be able to do as well without the equipment purchased by the dedicated men of the Alumni Dads Club. Co-sponsoring the Smoker with the Dads' Club and holding a big money raffle are the two main fund-raising activities of this group.

STUDENT COUNCIL GUARDIANS AND PROMOTERS OF SCHOOL SPIRIT
The Brother Rice Student Council concluded another successful year under the guidance of Brother C. J. Gattone; as usual, this was due to the hard work and dedication of the officers and representatives, and the cooperation offered by the administration, faculty, and student body. The Council started in early August in planning the events which would take place during the school year: Freshman Overnight, Christmas Food Drive, and Crusaderfest are only a few of the happenings which livened things up Around Rice. All in ali, it WAS a very good year.

Between preparing for the various Sawdust Dances and the exhausting preparations for Homecoming and the other semi-formal, more people attended dances this year, making them both fun and profitable.

Around Rice, one of the two major service activities is the National Honor Society, an organization of Juniors and Seniors dedicated to the principles of service, leadership, and scholastic excellence. In order to be a member, one must maintain a 3.4 G.P.A. and be recommended by three faculty members. The main activities of the N,H,S. are to provide tutoring for students and to usher at school functions. Quill and Scroll is an honor society in journalism dedicated to excellence in all phases of journalism. Both groups receive no other benefits than the personal satisfaction of proving to themselves that they can participate in such a worthwhile activity.

HELPING OTHERS IN NEED
C. A. L.
M.
Around Rice, helping out takes many forms, whether it be using up excess energy to help out the school in its need for a new roof, exercising some veins to give up a pint of blood, or giving some intellectual exercise to grammar school students in need of help in reading and math. Brother Corrigan and Brother Devane are responsible for the running of our tutoring program for students from St. Charles Lwanga School every Tuesday in conjunction with some Mother McAuley students and Brother Rice students (about 55 in ali). CAL.M. - the Chicago Area Lay Movement - has enjoyed great popularity here for the past 15 years. A newcomer on the scene of helping out was the Walk for Brother Rice, sponsored by Mr. Antos, whose purpose was to raise funds for some badly-needed roof repairs while getting some exercise and having fun. The Blood Drive, sponsored by Brother Corrigan through the Religion classes, aids the Beverly Blood Bank in its quest for donors, while insuring Brother Rice students who participate as well as their families with regard to any blood needs they may have in the next year.

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB
Around Rice, a number of students, under the guidance and direction of Miss Murphy, gained experience in the fine art of taking pictures which were used at times by both the newspaper and the Crusader. Many were relatively inexperienced in the various procedures which go into the production of a successful print; next year, hopefully, much more of their work will be in evidence.

CRUSADER '80 MAKES IT WITH SMALLEST STAFF IN THEIR HISTORY
Bro. Coleman points out a problem in layout to Mike Knar.
Around Rice, there's something happening almost all the time. Keeping up with so much activity is the almost impossible job of the Crusader. Moderated by Brother Coleman and co-edited by Mike Knar and Arkadiusz Smigielski, the chief difficulty encountered was the fact that most of the work in the Second Semester had to be done by the two editors, which was an impossible task done very well. Next year's book will hopefully have a larger staff of seniors to ease the burden.

HOMECOMING 79 .
As usual, Brother Rice's Homecoming Week was packed with excitement. Occurring in the last week of October, Homecoming Week featured open gyms, movies, grub day, the Walkathon, and, of course, the traditional Rally. Upperclassmen also elected the 1979 Homecoming Court.
On November 6, the Football Crusaders saw their last-quarter drive fall short as they lost to St. Francis DeSales 7-2.
However, on Sunday Night, the upperclassmen put defeat behind them as they enjoyed the "Shangri-La" atmosphere of the Homecoming semi-formal. Music was provided by "Freewheelin' " for this memorable night put together by Mike Gorman and his hardworking committee.

PIPPIN
A MUSICAL EXTRAVAGANZA
The Fall, 1979, production of PIPPIN proved to be a great success. With the combined efforts of Mother McAuley and Brother Rice students, the play produced record breaking crowds. The production, under the guidance of Brother Dogan, was a musical about a young man, Pippin (Dave Heilmann), who tries to find his life. He is helped by a traveling band of players, led by Brian Rigg. The play marked a beginning to a great school year.

Around Rice this year, there has been great support for the efforts of the Brother Rice Players, under the direction of their newly-arrived mentor, Brother W. A. Dogan. This interest and support reached its peak just before Easter, when the rock opera, "Jesus Christ, Superstar" was presented before record-breaking numbers of impressed viewers. It would be an understatement to say that it was a very good play; in fact, it was an experience for participants and viewers which will last for quite some time to comel

"HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS" STARS JUNIORS AND SOPHOMORES
52 Spring Dance
On Saturday evening, May 3, 1980, the Brother Rice gym was the site of the annual Spring Dance. The theme this year, decided by the "underclass" Dance Committee, was "Hollywood Nights." This was a well-attended function; the Juniors and Sophomores and their dates danced to the music of Rooster as they soaked up the Hollywood atmosphere provided by the Dance Committee in the form of posters of the stars, the traditional nightclub atmosphere, and many of the sights of the gym and pool corridor. The end result promises great things ahead for next year's committee.
THE DANCES BEFORE THE DANCE
SAWDUST DANCES
Sawdust Dances by definition are dances where Freshmen and some Sophomores can show off, hopefully meet a member of the opposite sex, but most of all to listen to good music. This year, bands like Toys, and M&R RUSH, "hit" Rice. Also Chicago's own PEZBAND played at Rice, which was a very popular event. The dances seem to be very popular and will always remain in the memories of Rice's students.
Mike Knar '81
LITURGIES
As in past year, liturgies have been an integral part of the school curriculum. They have shown, as usual, that Brother Rice exists not only as an academic community but also as a spiritual community as well. Four Masses were celebrated by the entire student body, while Father Hilger celebrated daily Mass in the school chapel during Lent and after Easter. Around Rice, liturgies brought a deeper sense of unity and put into concrete form the reason for our existence as a Catholic high school.

"A CRUSADE TO SUCCESS" IS A BIG SUCCESS
Around Rice this year, without a doubt, one of the largest events to take place was the annual Open House for eighth-graders and their parents. Total reorganization of the previously ordinary event brought large numbers of faculty and students into participation; add magnificent weather to the recipe, and you have a tremendously successful event.
CLOCKWISE FROM RIGHT: Teams and actlvities manned displays designed to attract interested observers. Displays throughout the school gave food for thought while giving an insight into the complex nature of Brother Rice. Ms. Murphy and other faculty and students acted as tour guides for groups of boys and their families.

The evening's festivities were M.C.'ed by Mr. Hanrahan, who introduced Brother Hennessy, who complimented one and all on their career contributions. Mr. Kellogg conducted the Special Awards presentation. Awards in Tennis, Track and Baseball were given later in the year, after their seasons concluded. The James P.

TRIPPING TOWARDS SNOW, SUN, AND SOUND
Trips are becoing a long-standing tradition Around Rice. This year proved to be no exception, as the travelling Crusaders journeyed about the country; some winter sportsmen, led by Brother McDonald, headed for the ski slopes of Park City, Utah, over the Christmas vacation. Others sought a warmer climate over the Easter break as they invaded the "tropical" paradise of Hawaii, with its surf, scuba diving, sun-worshipping and discos. Brother Vorlick headed this group. Meanwhile, the Band finished off a year of preparations as they winged their way to Orlando, Florida, the week after Easter. Their concert tour included performances in Disney World, Sea World, and Circus World. Between parades and concerts, the Band managed to come back, like their other traveling counterparts, with disgusting tans, tired bodies, and lots of memories.

COSPONSORS DANCE-ATHON FOR CANCER SOCIETY
On Saturday, April 19, 1980, a Dance Marathon was held in the Brother Rice Gym for the benefit of the American Cancer Society. Two hundred students from Brother Rice and Mother McAuley danced from 11 :00 A.M. until 11 :00 P.M. to the music of Medallion, Rogue, and the Bift City Band, as well as various D.J. and Disco spots and contests. Food and refreshments were provided by many local merchants, who also donated prizes for the various contests throughout the day. In addition to having a lot of fun, the marathon and its associated activities were able to raise almost $4000 for Cancer research.

BOXING EXTRAVAGANZA
The Crusader Clouts were again sponsored by the Student Council this year. 900 boxing enthusiasts filled the gym to witness the 10 matches. Owen Putman, '79, a Golden Gloves champion, was the referee for the matches. This year, there was only one knockout, along with two draws. The money raised will be used for various Student Council activities.

VARSITY PROVES ALL DOUBTS WRONG
In past years, the Brother Rice Football squads have always provided great excitement for their many fans. This year was no different, as the Varsity pounded its way into third place in the Catholic League with a 3-2 record (5-5 overall). Under the leadership of Coach Mitchell for the fifteenth year, the Crusaders continued in state contention until their last game, losing a heartbreaker to St. Rita. Characteristic of this year's team was its unrelenting defense, which allowed an average of only six points per game.

The Football Crusaders went into the last game of the regular season with a chance for a state playoff berth. We were behind; and with approximately 90 seconds left we scored. To our dismay Rita got the ball back, and with 49 seconds left they brought the ball into the end zone, to the accompaniment of dismayed silence on the sidelines. The 49 seconds remaining were not enough for a touchdown rally. In spite of this disappointing ending, the team still kept fighting until the last second of the last quarter of the last game.

1- cSHMEN AND SOPHOMORES MAKE FIRST IMPRESSIONS LAST
There were mixed results in the two non-varsity football teams this year. The Sophomore team rolled to first place in the Catholic League with a record of 5-2. The Freshman Team, however was not quite as fortunate, finishing the year in fourth place, with a 2-4-1 record. However, talent from both teams should promise a quite successful future varsity roster.

CROSS COUNTRY TEAM FINISHES A STRONG SEASON
CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: Dzwierzynski fends off some opposition. Instructions from Bro. Schul. O'Connor and Neville pacing the packl Andrasco shows what Sophomores are made of.
This year's Cross-Country Team, under the direction of Coach Brother Schul and assistant coach Brother Samp, had one of its finest seasons ever. Led by Captains Jim Dzwierzynski and Rich Eber, the Cross-Country Crusaders ran to a season record of 7-2. This placed them 4th in the Catholic League; they then went to the I.H.S.A. Districts and stunned everyone with a second-place finish. In the I.H.S.A. Sectionals, the Crusaders fared 4th, thus eliminating them from further competition; but this showing was the closest of any Cross-Country Team at Brother Rice to qualify a team downstate.
Both Captains, Jim Dzwierzynski and Rich Eber, were honored as Catholic League All Stars.
The Sophomore and Freshman Teams both worked hard to imitate their Varsity counterparts, and were rewarded with successful seasons also.

Now ranking in popularity with other sports at Brother Rice, Soccer presented itself well again this year. Leading the Varsity offensive attack was center-forward Bob Loncar with four hat-tricks, along with halfback Rob McGowan. Defending the Crusader goal was the combined job of senior Bill Gallagher and junior Bob Mazur, both of whom showed tremendous talent. Although the Varsity did not finish as well as they had hoped with a 9- 11-2 record, they still dominated over some of the other top-ranked Catholic League teams, in addition to blanking out public league Romeoville 4-0. A promising Sophomore Team had a 17-4-3 record, which promises great things for next year.

Highlights of the year consisted of a 32- point performance by All-Catholic Guard Ed Maracich in the upset of statebound DeLaSalle. Also a high point was a great team effort in the upset of state-ranked Loyola. Eight of the 15 losses were by less than four points. The team was led by seniors Ed Maracich, Jim Kennedy, Dave Venkus, and Phil Crawford. Juniors Mike Dorigan, Mike Frost, and Kevin Kellogg also saw much action on the boards.
