THE CHOSEN ONES Remember those elections we had at the end of last year to elect this year ' s class officers? Well, although they were immediately followed by those lazy, hazy summer days, these newly elected officers were put straight to work on the Fiesta. From then on the action never stop- ped. Dedicated, willing, and able, each of these super individuals spent many hard-working hours to promote, help, and organize assorted activities for each of our classes. Ranging from the regular monthly meetings to assisting on the evaluation of our school last Fall, these eager students were persistent in whatever problem they had to tackle. Although each officer worked hard for each of their classes, they also worked together in many projects. Along with the administration, tvlr. fvlarkey, and the A.S.B. these qualified of- ficers were not only great friends, but excellent leaders. 1 I ' 1. Sophomore officers: Spirit Comm.

25 FAITHFUL YEARS Mrs. Maryann Tavernier began a lasting friendship witt-i Mary Star of the Sea High School back in 1958 on January 6th. Twenty-five years later, this friend- ship has nurtured into an everlasting bond of wisdonn for all who have encountered her warmth, grace, and charm. This year the priests, sisters, faculty, students, and alumni applauded as we payed tribute to this rare in- dividual who has given numerous hours of herself in dedicated service to the fostering growth of Catholic education. It is not quantity of time or endurance of efforts which made an individual stand out from her peers. It is the quality which imprints itself into the minds and memories of all that never goes forgotten. We are a community of Individuals giving credit to such a woman. It is truly a remarkable talent which we all admire, long to achieve, and a privelege to have accomplished for others to see. As the years continue to pass, look not into the past, for you have only achieved a beginning. Continue to grow and perceive to the future in forming new begin- nings, for is it not a truly wonderful feeling in knowing you will always be remembered with wonderful memories, beautiful words, and kind affection, than to never have been remembered at all? On behalf of the student body at Mary Star of the Sea High School, we would like to congratulate you on such an honor. HAPPY 25th ANNIVERSARY Mrs. TAVERNIER! 1.

AMBITIONS OF ' 83 AND BEYOND: For those who participated in the 1983 Senior Retreat, it was an experience to be remembered. The Sacred Heart Retreat Camp in Big Bear was the site of the annual retreat, held this year on February 1, 2, and 3. Fifty-four Seniors left on a Tuesday afternoon for the show covered mountains. Miraculously, they made it there in one piece. (Even with Jim and Dash as their bus drivers.) For two days they prayed, sang, cried, ran from killer dogs, and played in the snow. It was a unifying ex- perience as well as a shocking one to see one another in the early morning light, especially since there were too few plugs for hair dryers, curling irons, and coffee pots. The activities were organized by Father Larry, Sister Joan, Mr. Markey, Mrs. Sutlovich, and Mrs. DiLeva. Talent night provided an array of hidden — but ob- viously not hidden well enough — talent. Some of the performers were: Joe Mr. Excitement Sinagra, Pete Take It Off Boskovich, and Missy and Krissy with their weenie gang. Special moments included the exchanging of Kris Kins, letters from teachers, and the I ' m Sorry talk. We want to express our thanks to all who helped make this retreat a time that will always be a cherish- ed memory. v Ife .. L ' » 1 4 j l ij 1. So much to write in so little space! 2.
