A RETREAT TO REMEMBER When you look to the sunrise think of me; When you look to the sunset thing of the class of ' 83. We came together so far apart: Now we go, holding each other close to our hearts. We came in strangers, Now we are leaving as friends. And please remember. When you see a sunrise, always remember me; And when you see a sunset, remember the retreat of ' 83. By: Anne McDade REMEMBER Remember the days Up in the snow All of our friends And no place to go Singing and praying All through the day Makes you feel glad That you got away Treasure these memories Deep in your heart Knowing we ' re good friends And will never part But the time must come When we all go home But never forget You ' re not alone!

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.

Ski Club Travels to 1 On February 10, thirty-one members of the Mary Star Ski Club boarded the bus that would eventually deliver them, ten hours later, to Alpine Place in Lake Tahoe, California. After a one mile hike, for lack of a ski shuttle, we finally arrived at the slopes. The scenery was beautiful and the conditions were excellent for skiing on the first day. The hard core skiers braved a blizzard to get in a second day of skiing. However, the fun that was had off the slopes more than made up for this; snowball fights, sledding, card tricks, and avalanches all helped to occupy our free time. The chaperones Mr. Nicholls, Mr. Markey, Mr, Burke, and Rick Robles, along with Jake, the bus driver, helped to add life and excitement to the trip. They participated in all the activities, and had a great time. The drive home was a long one, but Mr. Nicholls kept us all entertained by reading Real Women Don ' t Pump Gas to an appreciative crowd. Stopping on the way home in Sacramento, cruising around the Capitol Building and visiting Old Sacramento helped to break up the monotony of the twelve hour trip. The Sacramento stop along with Ann ' s Stop the bus Jake, it ' s moving! , concluded a fun trip. 1. They told me how to stop, but it isn ' t working. 2. If you can ' t hack it Pat, leave now. 3. A Big Mac Attack on the way to Lake Tahoe. 4. Find eight lost skiers in this picture. 5. Paula is the mother we never had. 112 Lake Tahoe Ski Trip
