SUNDAY TIMES DEMOCRAT Davenport Bettendorf, Iowa 14C Water, Walcr, Everywhere 14C Sunday, Oct. 23, 1966 OIK And The Rains I I Perfigliano Anybody? By KATHY PHETEPLACE Central Editor Umbrellas turned inside out; mud-caked football players; fogged-up glasses, and drenched heads. This was Homecoming 1966 at Central High School. The Central students didn't mind the torrents of rain. They just couldn't believe them.

The day began in a downpour and continued with showers. Everyone was hoping the game wouldn't be rained out. The CHS students went all out. They celebrated homecoming with an aud; crowned Queen Debbie Walls in style; and had a great time in the midway at "Fair Time CHS" with a real hog calling contest. The sky was still gray, but the rain had ceased by the time school was out.

The sophomore game was played. Only during the second quarter did it shower. The CHSers brought umbrellas, rain coats and plastic bags to the varsity game. A chill wind and slight drizzle preceded the bout, just enough to cancel pre-game activities. Out came the team with CHSers cheering and clapping as best they could under plastic bags and blankets.

The biggest problem was that fans just couldn't see. People were jammed together with rows of umbrellas blocking the way. Mud-covered figures moved the slippery ball up and down the sloppy field. Varsity cheerleaders, wet hair and all, urged the student body on. "The rain certainly didn't affect the team spirit," said Homecoming attendant, Mary Stafford.

The rules are complicated, but hilarious especially when instructing newcomers in the fine arf of "sweep-zooming." Four or five seniors and a few juniors assemble in, a circle during break. A leader turns to "nobody" point blank and says "zoom!" The zoom-ee then becomes a somebody. The somebody may then sweep-zoom a nobody (one who hasn't previously been zaomed), or "schwartz'V his zoom-er. If he chooses to sweep-zoom a nobody the game continues; however, if he decides to schwartz, he may not sweep 'a schwartz.

That is considered a mistake. (A mistake is shown by painting an elbow at the one who has committed the blunder using one's finger to point is also a mistake). After the schwartzing move has been executed, the schwartz-ee may either zoom a nobody, or "perfigliano, the player who has been perfiglianoed has no other choice but to say zoom to the individual who has perfiglianoed him. The zoom-ee then sweeps a zoom to anybody and the cycle begins anew. irirrrfrmttm fi i.ttrtii Students Tell Late Date Alibis "D's" with 125, and the "C's" with 124.

YOUNGDAHL By SUSAN KUNTZ St. Katharine's Editor In 1835 an itinerant Jesuit missionary celebrated Mass in a little Indian village by the Mississippi River, and blessed the site against the tornadoes that had periodically devastated the area. The great black crucifix that Father Van Quickenborne erected on the bluff was for many years a landmark to Davenport. It is a matter of record that the city of Davenport has been untouched by tornado damage since then. The story is confirmed by the testimony of the daughter of an eyewitness, and by a pencilled note written by J.

M. Burrows who came to the area in 1835. The note read, "On the mound of the old Daves House (now St. Katharine's School) southwest side, where priest had a black cross made of walnut work carved by hand a crucifix knelt in prayer as great storms were so dangerous. Very holy clergy knelt in prayer and made offering to God for safety." Nothing remains of the original Mass Mound today.

In 1959 a new dormitory, was erected on the site, and the crucifix and stone altar dedicated in 1929 and 1931 by the Sisters of St. Mary as markers, were moved to a little garden outside the chapel. In the spring the students gather on Rogation Days to ask a blessing on the crops of the year. Even though the great wooden crucifix crumbled many years ago and Mass Mound is no longer, there are many who love the old story and believe that the city is protected from tornadoes by the prayers of a wandering Jesuit priest. 5 rf-t Teacher Is A Swinging Pal mm Iiitlill Jane Ryder Bilingual Three R's John Sunderbruch Coky Hild NEW YORK (UPI) There's a history, emphasis on languages and I i few high school newspapers receive.
