The Aquinas faculty and administration accomplished this task solely with the concern of their students in mind. Teachers and counselors devoted much time to helping their students outside of class as well. Some teachers also spent time mod- erating extra curricular activities. Aquinas High School contributed time, talent, and acumen to the future of the diocese of San Bernardino under the leadership of Bishop Straling and Father Sanders. With more than twenty-five years in education, Aquinas High School has fulfilled its task of provi- ding " light, truth, and justice.

The business teachers, Mrs. Leary. the chairperson, and Mrs. Lukas. prepared students for the future through Typing. Shorthand, and Business Math. 59 LIBRARY FINE ARTS PHYSICAL EDUCATION Traditional academic courses were not the , only fields being developed at Aquinas High School. The Fine Arts and Physical Education were also taught to develop the education of the students. Mr. Handlon and Mrs. ten Voorde used their artistic talents to enrich the lives of the students who were entrusted to their care. Likewise, Mrs. Esancy and Mr. Sanchez of the P.E. De- partment improved the lives of their stu- dents by bettering their health and general sense of well being. Miss Payne, the librar- ian, with her dedicated work, opened an- other source of information to the students. In this way, she too respected the lives which were entrusted to her. 60 V A Mr. Pat Handlon (BA, California Slate University Fullerton. CA) Ceramics. Drawing and Painting. 2, Miss Doris Payne (MA.

With the aid of theology teachers Mrs. Cardenas, Mr. Brown, Mr. Moten, Sr. Dorothy, Sr. Kathleen, and Mr. Piazza, the students devel- f oped a better understanding of religion. 64 1. Fr. Donat celebrated mass with an attentive group. 2. Sr. Dorothy showed a few of her sophomore students the funda- mentals of religion. 3.

Un- der the literary guidance of Father Donat, Mr. Stru- ble. Miss Pentz, Miss Laggren, and Mr. Navarez the classes were ones of education. 66 1 . Phil Andrews and Mike Mumford did research in the library. 2. Miss Pentz showed two students an important point in a book. 3. Miss Laggren gave some pointers in research to Suzanne Le Court. 4. Theda Griffin, Terri Ford, and Heidi Hague discussed Shakespeare sonnets during class. 5. Freshmen pondered over their gram- mar. 6. Mike Giles and Kelly Colunga dis- cussed an English assignment. 7. Michelle Cranston sought help while Silvia Gutierrez studied earnestly. 67 Foreign Language Spanish I students learned the basic vocabulary and grammatical structure and concepts of Spanish. In Spanish II, the students were exposed to more vocabulary and only spoke Spanish in the second semester. The Spanish III students analysed poetry and the short story genre by Spanish and Latin American authors. During the Spanish IV year, the students studied contemporary drama and Span- ish novels. In all the Spanish classes, grammar was emphasized. French I students learned all the basic language skills: reading, writ- ing, listening and speaking. Students, in a variety of classroom activi- ties, listened to tapes, presented written dialogues, conversed in French, and showed different aspects of French culture through pro- jects. They explored the short story and even wrote their own composi- tions in French II. The students learned to appreciate all aspects of French culture from cuisine to geography. Students who took Latin had a unique exposure to language. Latin, an ancient language, was unlike any other language taught at Aquinas. For example, Latin included both conjugations of verbs and declen- sions of nouns. Students were also introduced to ancient Roman cul- ture. German I students, in addition to learning the basic language, studied t " he geography of the German speaking countries. The German stu- dents learned to use more complex German including advanced verbs. 1. Tom Lappin, Alson Chao, and Mike Mumford pointed to various regions of France. 2. Spanish 3 students, Elsa Quiroga and Lisa Porter, studied a textbook together amid a background of murals done by previous students. 3. During a German 1 class, Peter Watson helped Christy Gannon locate a city in Germany. 4. Mrs. Leesburg and Mrs. Jung conversed after a hard day of teaching. 5. Spanish 2 students, Carl Beardsly, Melissa Knuckey, John Bachman, and Dan Kehew, practiced Spanish with the aid of a map, a book, and some flashcards. 6. Abel Baldersa, Gail Flathers. Mark Dahle, Carol Laterruer, and Michelle Cranston made various gestures while conversing in French 1 class. 7. Advanced Spanish student, Ana Ruvalcaba (right), helped Spanish 1 student, Pam Yen to locate cities on a map of Spain. 8. German 2 students, Lana Mode and Sonia Schoenfield explained German syntax to their peers. 68 i .,. « •I . -A fi 1 i i " v 1 i 1 69 Science ' The science department consisted of five basic classes: genera! science, astronomy, biology, chemistry, and physics. There were also other science classes which were derived from one of the basics. These were general science A, life science, science sur- vey, human biology, chemistry lab, and physics lab. The classes were designed for further development in the understanding of science among students. They were also a required part of most students ' curriculum, Consequently, they played a big part in most students ' school year. 70 1. Physics students, Mario Aguirre, Lukas Feles, Brian Kehew, and Keith Goettlemann, observed a demonstration of Newton ' s Law of Motion. 2. Ed Chavez, Mary Haid, John Ferronato, Karen Chacon, and Martin Hostrup studied notes on the blackboard in their life science class. 3. A general science student, Sean Dennis, and a biology student, Jon Vermillion, studied to- gether in the library for tests in each of their classes. 4. Mark Norman and Tom Skubic experi- mented with explosive chemicals in chemistry lab. 5. Mardi Linane and Karen Fisher playfully watched Doug Vining and Ray Sanchez dissect a large clam. 6. Ben Nichols, Jeff Mcintosh, Scott Giese, and the rest of the human biology class took notes from Mrs. Leesburg ' s lecture. 71 MATH Mathematics was one of the courses which the majority of the student body had to take last year. Our mathematics department conducted classes ranging from basic math and algebra to ge- ometry and calculus. The teachers were dedicated to aid the students in the math courses, and although the students weren ' t dedicated to much, most will probably have a lifelong memory of mathematics principles. Several business math courses were also part of the curriculum at Aquinas. •• •■ . 1 . Gary Aguilar summed up rows of figures on the chalkboard during accounting class. 2. Father Hudson chewed on a pen in exasperation as he watched Mike Dainko finish an assignment in geometry. 72 4. Brother Snider then turned to the rest of the class to finish his lecture. 5. Mrs. Greene checked Jimmy Poyle ' s work as Steve Sollinger waited to have his checked and the rest of the class studied algebra from their textbooks. 73 Social Science Business " Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it, " and the Aquinas Social Science Department evidently wanted to make sure no student would ever repeat it. The many history and government classes kept the stu- dents in their books and on their toes. Indeed, it was a memorable experience that will continually haunt every- one ' s memory. » -U ooooooooooo ' 00009000l!«u 5oo9ooooe»iio sac The business classes prepared students for future, voca- tional work. The typing, shorthand, business law, and ac- counting classes introduced the different applications and skills as well as teaching theory. 1. The typing students learned the basic fundamentals of typing. 2. Ms. Salas conducted her business law class. 3. Mr. DiDonato compared his answers to John Bruckner ' s. 4.

The class of " 83 represented school spirit and unity. The Juniors per- formed their duties as leaders by offering their free time to plan and organize such events as the Halloween Dance, the 50 ' s Dance and the Junior-Senior Prom. The label " Junior " carried with it many challenges and responsibil- ities. The Class of ' 83 met these challenges with enthusi- asm. The Juniors were recognized as school leaders through the ring ceremony. The label " Junior " suggested many things; here were a few that the students of Agiunas had suggested: ' A Junior is a high class person with good taste, good looks; someone who is looked upon by the rest of the school for his wisdom. " — Chris Hast. " 83 " .A Junior is like a light in the night of high school. The silver lining in the cloud that is made up of seniors, s opho- mores, and freshmen. Juniors are the dungeon masters in the dungeons of life. " — Scott Giese, ' 83 " A Junior is like a blue sky. At times the sky is so blue one feels as if they could reach up and touch it, much like a Junior who at times can be so caring. But most of the time a Junior is just ... a Junior. " — Christina Walters, ' 83 " A Junior is a big guy w ho always picks on poor freshmen. A Junior is one who acts smart with everyone except a Senior. " — David Mendoza, ' 85 " A Junior is a sweet person with a lot of firsts to come. The first prom, the first love, and the first real acceptance in high school. For only if he knew how fast the Senior year goes, and then the goodbyes of dear friends and good times. " — Mrs. tenVoorde " A Junior is, or can be, a nic e, kind, great person as long as they don ' t make fun of Freshmen. Even if they do, well, nobody ' s perfect. Not even Juniors. " — Bill Walters, ' 85 Above: Frank Videgar, Ray Purpero, Karen Allen contemplated world situ- ations. Right; Andy Kruk helped keep Aquinas Clean. 78 " Juniors are to be the leaders of the school after the sen- iors graduate. With the class spirit and leadership quali- ties the class of ' 83 express, they should be great leaders next vear. " — Lisa Gonzales, " 82 " Juniors are a special class of people who show trust, love, understanding, and supreme authority. We have dignity, patience, and integrity. We ' re proud to be Juniors. " — Paul Arce. ' 83 " A Junior is one who has problems with the promsite and gets picked on more than anyone else (even the freshmen). But they have matured greatly and when they become Seniors, the world had better watch out. They ' re coming bv storm! " — Maritri Garrett, " 82 " They ' re wonderful and brilliant kids, I wish I owned one. " — Sean Golden, " 85 " My brother is a Junior and he tries to use me as a slave after school. " — Bob Schumacher, ' 85 " A Junior is a person who is getting closer to the beginning of responsibility but it ' sonly the beginning of the future. A Junior is a person with a lot of spirit. " — Liz Stanfield, " 83 " A Junior is someone who survived three years of high school and has one more to go. " — Carol Damgen, " 83 " A Junior is a person who is a born leader. A person with awesome powers and great capabilities. " " — Larry Gus- man. " 83 " The class of " 83 is a rather motley crew; long on love, but completely insensitive at times, loads of fun, but so serious at times they " ll make you cry, inconsiderate snobs who ' ve been there " ' , but who WILL touch you and change you. They are people whom you will never forget. " " — Jane Penz ' W Junior is a short purple animal that lives between the Sophomore and Senior year and devours teachers and eskimo pies. " — Ms. Castillo " A Junior is next in line for the leadership role at his her school. The title " Junior " by no means lessens the influ- ence and responsibility that he she has in school. " — Fr.

" We did so sympathizing with the freshmen even though we ourselves had lost that freshman timidity. We were not mighty upper- classmen yet but like all good things, we improved with age. Through pep rallies, sports events, extracurricular activities, and throughout the daily routine of classes, we displayed spirit and unity, which proved that sophomores were not " wise fools " . The following quotes were thoughts on what a sophomore was: " What is a sophomore? " " To me a sophom re is the second step of high school life. A sophomore is the second step to fitting in. A sophomore is one more step closer to graduation. " — Mardi Linane ' 84 " To me sophomores are not childish freshmen. Sopho- mores are 1 . But most of all sophomores are the class of ' 84. " — Alfred Montano ' 84 " To me the most important thing about sophomores is that they aren ' t bmtalized freshmen. " — Veronica Gonzlaes " 82 Acevedo, Richard Acuna, Wanda Adkins.

" — Maria Mejia ' 82. " To me sophomores are tenth graders. They think they know everything, that is because they do. Sophomores are just in the middle. They aren ' t really anything special.

" Traditionally, freshmen were al- ways late for class, never together, and had great ambitions but no organization. Well, " they " were half right — kids from all over trying to get their acts together and be a class — that was the hard part. We made it with a little luck and a lot of hard work! Our class officers, John Oxrider, presi- dent, Tom Bott, vice-president, Tippy Garcia, secretary, and Bill Buttimer, treasurer, together with the class mode- rator, Miss Pentz, were the best. Somehow they whipped the freshmen into shape to tackle the first impossible task — organizing a class to build the freshmen float. Beginning with spirit week, we found out that we could work together while they had a lot of fun. The results were awesome. Nobody felt sorry for them. They were now a true class of " 85 " — a class with class. WHAT IS A FRESHMAN? " A freshman is an unusual creature in the world of high school. Having just passed from elementary to high school, the Freshman student finds himself no longer at the top of the totem pole but at the bottom. " Fr. Dennis Sanders. C.R. " Freshmen, bewildered children on the threshhold of ad- olescence, bear the brunt of upper classmen jokes. " Miss Laggren " Freshmen are the nicest students, at least for the first half of the year. They are God ' s gift to teachers. " Ms. Castillo. " A freshman is a person who is confused or lost. " Martin Jiminez " They are beautiful people with a lot of class. " Judy Riddell " The delightful children who, in ten years, 1 hope will grow up! " Mr. Hunt " A freshman is like a baby kitten. So strong and sturdy, yet so fragile and gullible. Freshmen too, are like cats, in that they are so bold and courageous, yet so timid and curious. Freshmen are just Freshmen. " Tina Walters; Junior " Naivete combined with incredible worldliness. fun-and- games but tremondous potential for love. Like the tides — caught between ebb and flow and looking for direction. " Miss Pentz " A person who is trying something new. " Kim DuCloux; Freshman " Always the hope of the school. " Mr. Moten " You can always tell a freshman. They are in their first year of high school and are very mixed up. They are nice, quiet and pleasant to talk with because they must feel like they ' re in a few world. " Anonymous Aguirre.
