This school is fortunate to possess such a competent administration which more than adequately pro- vides that force. The administration ' s first man is Bro. James McDonnell who is serving his last year as principal at Notre Dame. During his five year stay at NO., his perform- ance has always been deserving of the highest praise and Notre Dame will be sorry to loose such a competent man. Assisting Bro. James in the area of Aca demic Affairs is Bro. Joseph Youhouse. Brother Lawrence Young doubles as vice-principal of both Business and Student Affairs. With such a dynamic team as this, one can have no doubt that the operation of Notre Dame is in the best of hands. TOP RIGHT: Brother James McDonnell, Principal of Notre Dame High School.

The Senior Class of 7 978 shared in the past four years its immediate future with each other, grew in knowledge and prepared themselves with the resources to face the future. GRADUATION The scenes on these two pages, although depicting the graduation ceremony of June, 1 977, will be most typical of the experience of the Class of 1978. The seniors look forward to this moment. As the seniors enter the outdoor ceremonies in the football stadium, their thoughts will certainly be on past experiences at Notre Dame but also on the future that lies ahead. They will await their call to step forward and receive their diplomas while listening to the parting words of the valedictorian. Then the treasured instant will arrive to step forward and accept with pride the paper that certifies their academic accomplishment during their stay at Notre Dame. After all have been honored, they will arise to march out into their future. They grasp in their hands a paper and in their hearts and minds the fond memories of many |oyous events and worthy efforts to be a credit to God, family, and Alma Mater urn ■ iliiin fl SENIOR CLASS OF 1978 JOSEPH G.

Freshman year is devoted to the study of two essential sources of the Judaeo-Christian tradition — the Old and New Testa- ments. The history of this tradition, as evidenced in the growth and develop- ment of the Christian community, serves as the focal point of Sophomore year. Junior year examines the questions both personal and social — posed in eth- ics, morality and values. Based on the needs of the student, Senior year offers five different courses — Christian Marriage, Theology and Politics, Interper- sonal Psychology, Theology and Literature, and Christian Service. The last course offers select Seniors the opportunity to put into action the theory of Christian service. The entire program thus views religion as a concern of real people of a real world — hoping and working to make it an ideal one, in which love of God, love of self and love of neighbor will finally be realized.

ENGLISH For the academic year 1 977- 1 978, all entering freshmen had a choice between a college prep course of studies and that of a general academic program. The sophomores had a choice between accelerated, advanced, or a regular college prep course. The juniors and seniors could request college prep English or an Advanced Placement class. The A. P. class was one of the innovations made by the English department this year. The eventual goal of this class is to provide the participating stu- dent with enough background material to score high on the A. P. test. By scoring high, the student can earn college credits and decrease the number of English courses required in col- lege. The course is almost totally discussion, and students must be selected to enter the class. Mr. John Cser is the department chairman. Other fine English teachers are Mr. Gary Dukoska (returning after a one year sab- batical), Mr. Kevin Droney, and Mr. Steve Bailey. TOP RIGHT: Mr. John Cser is the Head of the English department.

The freshman, in broadening his mathemati- cal horizons, has the option of taking an advanced alge- bra course that provides an in-depth look into algebra or taking the regular course, which offers a slower-paced program over a span of two years. In his following years at Notre Dame, the student may take a selction of these courses. Geometry (Adv. or Reg.) Math III or VI Introduction to College Math Algebra II, Trigonometry Pre-Calculus(Adv ) Calculus In several mathematical subjects there has been an intro- duction of new books. These new books, first of all, make it easier for the students too understand the subject, and secondly to help create a positive attitude towards mathe- matics. All of these factors help to make Notre Dame a leader in mathematical studies. TOP LEFT: Mr. Lee Carlson instructs the Calculus and PreCalculus classes.

That is the same attitude Mr. Al Alcala, Mr. Federico Fuentes, and new comer to the staff, Brother Lawrence Young have as they instruct their classes. Spanish I, II, III, IV and aesthetic Latin I and II are being offered this year as the language courses. We want the students to appreciate some of their fellow students of different national backgrounds and to become aware of some of the BARRIO expressions, stated Mr. Ferguson.

SCIENCE For many years, the Science Department has achieved excel- lence under the chairmanship of Mr. Carl Abato. This program gives the student an opportunity to attain a solid foundation in various fields. Sophomores receive their first taste of this fun- damental study in their biology classes. Then, as Juniors, they may elect to deepen their knowledge of the elements through chemistry. Seniors can choose to take physics, a course designed to probe into the interaction of energy and materials. As well as the courses outlined above, upperclassmen are also able to study physical science, oceanography and ecology. To aid the pupil who wishes to gain a more profound under- standing in the field of science, a special accelerated program is offered. This is structured around in-depth laboratory inves- tigations, which give the student a stronger background in sci- ence. With this extra preparation, he will benefit greatly when he goes on to higher levels of science. The accelerated courses include biology, chemistry and physics. The respected science program staff is led by Mr. Abato, who is supported through the knowledgeable efforts of Mr. Richard Stocks, Mr. Don Peterson, and Mr. Greg Nixon.

This year ' s course offerings include the required history and government courses in addition to the senior electives, Anthropology and Social Movements. The emphasis this year is on analytical thought and discussion rather than the rote memorization of a myriad of facts. To enhance this thought process, literary works were introduced as an adjunct to the assigned texts, lectures and discussions. i H This year ' s program is directed by the Department Chairman, Mr. Joseph Reilly, who teaches U.S. History, U.S. Government, and Social Movements. The ebullient Mr. Loren Shakman is an instructor in U.S. and World History. Mr. Robert DiFrancesca teaches U.S. History, U.S. Government, and Anthropology.

Business Law taught by Mr. Loren Shakman and Br. Ricardo Helmann gives the student an appreciation of the Ameri- can legal system. This course encourages critical thinking about what occurs in society today so that at the end of the year, the students will be able to analyze and resolve conflicts in criminal law, contracts, wills, and real estate. The bookkeeping course, taught by Mr. Don Braun, teaches the students how to balance books and draw up financial reports. Students are instructed to deftly manipulate the typewriter by Br. Ricardo. They can put this training to good use through the prepa- ration of term papers, reports, business letters, and personal items.

MUSIC Notre Dame is giving the students an opportunity to become tal- ented musicians. The students are instructed by the respected band director, Mr. John Combes. In addition, David Zamora, assistant band director, instructs the novice band players as well as the woodwind section. Through this instruction the students are able to receive a practical appreciation for good music. The music instruction thus provides both cultural enrichment as well as preparatory course for potential Irish Knight Band mem- bers. TOP: Mr John Combes teaches music instrumentation and serves as band direc tor BOTTOM: Members of the music instrumentation class practice their skills. ART AND MECHANICAL DRA WING This year the art class will concentrate on having the students become aware of the artistic potential of what they see. The students will work on two as well as three dimensional art. Thus the class, instructed by Mr. Greg Nixon and Mr. Gary Dukoska, will emphasize sculpting of all kinds. The art class contributes to the studentbody activities in the creation of postures, designing sets for the play, and assisting the Arches with their talented drawing. Mechanical Drawing, taught by Mr. John Skeese, gives the stu- dent a visual relationship to depth perspective. This visual rela- tionship becomes a tool for an individual. Reducing three- dimension views to two-dimensions is one of the primary goals of the course. Mechanical Drawing lays the foundation for the students to become an architect.

BOTTOM: Classmates admire Dan Draper ' s drawing in Art class COMPUTER There has been much change in Computer Science this year dealing with the computer and Computer Science. Computer processing at Notre Dame is now faster than in years before because of the introduction of the IBM 1 1 30 computer. The new computer is a major help to the school by doing schedules, the processing of identifactions cards, report cards, and other related functions. It is also of great value to students who want to solve complex problems, analyze sport statistics, or |ust wish to play computer games. The classes offered to teach programming to students are elec- tive, seventh and eighth period courses. The eighth peroid class, taught by Mr. Gallagher, is open to students of all grades who wish to be introduced to computer languages and technol- ogy. The seventh period class is offered to juniors and seniors who desire to test and advance their computer knowledge. This class is taught by the syllogistic Brother Joseph Youhouse, who is also the director of the program.

AUDIO-VISUAL The Audio-Visual Department has played a growing role in the Notre Dame teaching program for the last nine years. This department is directed by Brother John Dobrogowski, whose job has developed from part-time to a full-time job. From a small program, the department has developed and advanced the use of filmstrips, records, tapes, and films to help educate the Notre Dame student. There are two viewing rooms availa- ble to teachers and their classes for the use of these materials. Funding for the needs of the department comes partially from government grants whcih aim to further the use of this method of teaching. Feature documentaries, which include Alistair Cooke ' s AMERICA and Kenneth Clark ' s CIVILIZATION, are now a part of the many productions offered through the Audio-Vis- ual Department. ABOVE: Br. John Dobrokowski is the Audio Visual department head. He also serves our students as a Freshman Counselor, substitute teacher and as Vocation Director for the Holy Cross Brothers. RIGHT: Br. Joseph Youhouse, Doctor of Electronics , explains the operation of the portable TV. camera to senior John Holmes. GUIDANCE Aiding the student in choosing his best path towards the development of his personal potential is the ultimate goal of the Guidance Department. For most students, their first form of guidance is Academic Counseling from the class counselor. This consists of helping the students with any difficulties they may be having at school, particularly with their studies. It also encompasses course advise ment for the forth coming school year. The second area of assistance comes through College Counseling, which basically consists of helping the student decide if college is right for him, and if so, which one best suits his needs. This is achieved through the coordina tion of a College Night, day visits from repre- sentatives of various schools, information on test or due dates and the like, and probing the possibility of qualifying for a scholarship. Mr. Carlson, the Guidance Department chair man and junior counselor, and Brother Francis Woehler, the senior counselor, share the duties of college counseling. The sophomores and freshmen are advised by Mr. Fedenco Fuentes and Brother John Dobrogowski respectively.

This is a required two year program with the junior and senior years offered as an elec- tive course. The program encompasses a variety of sports, ranging from softball to football, raquetball to volleyball. The department chairman is Mr. Fred Cuccia. His staff of coaches consists of Messrs. Brian Beauche- mm, Greg Nixon, Alan Thompson, Steve Bailey, and Meir Segal. TOP: Jim Hall strokes a forehand in a raquetball game MID- DLE: Coach Meir Segal poses with R Knebel, J. Paciolla.

The surface results were, however, far outnumbered by the under lying achievements of the coaching staff and players New head coach, John Skeese. took command of the team and instilled in them new priori ties. He emphasized the growth and development of the men ahead of winning by sacrificing those values Once again, Notre Dame ' s defense had a good year. Defensive co ordmator.

Under the fine head coaching of Paul Napier and his coaching staff of Don Steen and Mike Hogan, the team was well prepared to face their opponents. The full-house offense had strong runningbacks in Scott Napier, Rob Ritter, and Freshman Sasha Madzar.This was backed by the passing attack led by quarterback Bob Mandeville, who passed to his leading receivers Neil Berry and Bill Feather. A steady offense was balanced by a strong defense which was led by Charles Stevenson on the line and by Dave Weible at linebacker. There was excellent support from Carl Reyes, Tim Beaulieu, Tim Borowsky, and Dave Ellias. Charles Stevenson emerged as the defensive standout, being voted outstanding defensive player by his teammates and coaches. On offense.

But thanks to the dedication of Coach Heaney, Coach Shakman, and Coach Seward, and the teams own perseverance and desire, they were molded into football players This particular freshman team never worked as a group of individuals, but j H rather as one team. They did everything as a unit. A relevant motto for this team could have been one for all and all for one. Another quality belonging to this team was desire Desire is what won their first game for them. Desire is what made them stay through the season in good times and in bad times. They were there because they had the desire to some- day play varsity football at Notre Dame. The most important thing that they had was their pride. Everyone was proud to be a Notre Dame Knight and they wanted others to know it. A team has got to have pride, when after taking a tough loss, they can go out to the middle of the football field and do their five, four count lumping lacks and recite KNIGHTS at the end of the fifth one, |ust as they did before the game. Pride made this team what it was. The season was capped off at the banquet on the fourth of December Here, Rick Weible, Benny Rosa, and Eric Jimenez were recognized for their outstand- ing contributions both on and off the field Another person to recognize was Lenny Savallo. As the team captain, he did a stupendus |ob at giving the team that little extra something when they needed it. This team is the team to watch for they are the future of the Notre Dame foot- ball program_ ' ' ■ n m hi: TOP RIGHT: Wayne Kelly looks for daylight down field BOTTOM: FRESHMEN FOOTBALL TEAM TOP ROW: TOP ROW: K Phillips, C Cullen, T Rivera, R Pereyra, E Dahlquist, R.

CROSSCOUNTRY The time honored phrase quality not quantity might best epitom- ize the 1 977 Cross-Country team. While having less than half of the number of runners from the previous season, the team still came through with flying colors. The varsity squad, with a new coach, Mr. Vic Moon and a new home field, Woodley Park, also retained a bit of the past by bring home their 3rd straight Del Rey League title. Posting a flawless 8-0 record, the varsity has now achieved an unprecedented streak of twenty-five consecutive dual meet victories. This exceptional team was led by co-captains Phil and Bert Shirley, Damn Stone, and Steve Goertzen, along with fine support from Jeff Greenfield and John Parker. The junior varsity suffered greater casualties as a result of the loss in manpower. They struggled to a 2-6 record. Despite the poor results, noteworthy performances were nevertheless turned in by Chris Buell, Dave Greenfield, and freshman Rob Harris. The entire team would like to thank 1 st year coach Mr. Vic Moon for all of his efforts that made this successful season which was crowned with a trip to the C.I.F.

Coach Don Peterson formed the team into a well balanced offense and a strong defensive unit. Through the leadership of Der mot Kiernan the Knights established an aggressive attack. Paul Blodgett, Peter Lans- burg, Chris Wison, Charlie Von Der Ahe, and Bob Westland ignited the Knights ' offensive scoring attack. Jeff Kelly, Rich Hyman, John Anderson, Steve Bernoco, and Pat Moore excelled in the defense department. Goalies Larry Coia and Ed Ecker protected the Knights against the scoring threats of their opponents. The Junior Varsity Team developed into a very strong fundamental team. They used this sea- son asa valuable preparation for their years as Varsity players. Scott Hart, Mike Stewart, Vic Miller, and Derek Powers led the offense. Goa- lie Henry Oviedo, Mark Llorens, and Scott Lewis thwarted the scoring threat of theirs foes. The Freshman-Sophomore Team, coached by Kevin Breard, developed Into a very disci- plined team. Jim Hall, Keith Farley, Willie Hayes, and Mark Wilson sparked the offense. Tony Minna, Brian Miller, and Wil Von Der Ahe played vulnerable roles in defense. Doug Cobb developed into a fine goalie.

Last year ' s varsity team struggled to a 2 8 league record. Yet the Notre Dame supporters were still optimistic because there were five returning lettermen with definite promise. They were sen- iors: Keith Hall, Scott Taylor, Rick Podley, John Enckson and Bill Mandeville The Knights had a fine preseason highlighted by a victory in the consolation championship of the Basset Amat tournament and a second place finish in the Birmingham tournament. It was time for the Del Rey League. The league was stacked with seven tough, higly competitive teams. In the first half of league play the Knights were 3-2, suffering losses to Loyola and St. Anthony. Juniors Rick Sipos, Tony Giordano and Scott Briasco added depth to the Knight line up, while sophomores Bobby Mandeville, Conrad Amba and Mike Lopez also added to the team quickness and sharp shooting. The Knights compiled a 4- 1 record in the second half of league play to end up with a 7-3 record which sent them to the C.I.F. championship.

At the helm Charles Per- kins skillfully coached his team through all the highs and lows ot the season. The highs included the consolation championship at the Bur- rough Invitational Tournament, an impressive one point victory over Burbank and a retaliating win over top-ranked Loyola. Out- standing performances, offensively and defensively, were dis- played by the team ' s captain Frank Miller and Freshman Niguel Miquel. Excellent supporting efforts were shown by John Franco, Eugene St. Pierre and Jeff Caves. Off the bench, John Wilson, Keith Casey and Kenny Smith helped to balance the attack. The remainder of the players contributed the loyalty and spirit necessary to bring the team together. The potential of this talented team will reach its peak in the coming basketball season.

FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Coach Steve Bailey and his young team had a disappointing 1977 78 basketball season The Knights had an outstanding pre season but only won two of their ten Del Rey League games One of their best games came when the Knights defeated St Francis in their sec ond meeting, after losing by a couple of points in the first game It was an overall team effort with outstanding performances by Charlie Brown who was co captain and consistent play by Vito Mondugno Their other exciting game was a come from behind victory over Loyola The talented team came from behind again to defeat them by one point Outstanding performers in that game were forward cen ter George Perches who was the captain of the team, Tim O ' Kane who sparked the comeback and Tony Mattivi who scored well In the Biship Montgomery Tournament. Coach Bailey led the Knights to the conso- lation championship game but lost to Serra. In one game the Knight center, Mike Masteiotto, scored 26 points after |ust |Oining the team for the tournament Other outstanding performances were turned in by Doug Cobb who scored 1 8 points in one game and the two quick guards Marc Hagedorn and Reuel Estrella who sparked the team TOP: C Brown shows style and technique as he breaks away for a layup MID-LEFT: T Mattivi works his way through the crowd to score MID- RIGHT: C Brown puts in another two points for the Frosh Knights BOTTOM, L.

Notre Dame fielded a soccer team and had amazing suc- cess competing in the rough Santa Fe League The varsity squad wound up with a league record of 7 3 2 and 12 5 2 overall This was good enough to place them second in the league and give the team a berth in the C.I.F. playoffs. The team was led by forward Vic Tru|illo, who set a new league record of 27 goals, and was named the league ' s M.V P for his efforts. He was aided by the efforts of Jeff Greenfield and Greg Quinn, who were named to the all league first team. Phil Shirley, Mark DeRobertis and Steve Cottrell filled slots on the second team. The team ' s success though, must be attributed to the team ' s fantastic coach, Mr Meir Segal (former European soccer star.) whose efforst made the team function as a unit. The |unior varsity team displayed some fine talent in posting a 6 6 league record and 9-8 overall.

Other running strengths lie in sprinters Greg Quinn and Jim Riggio, half-miler Kevin Weir, and distance runners Damn Stone and John Parker.

In the 1978 season under the direction of Head Coach Al Alcala, who is in his eightteenth season, and assist- ant Bob Bender, the Knights were able to uphold the tradition of fine teams at Notre Dame. The Knight were blessed with many explosive hitters, good speed, a consistent defense, and an effective pitching staff. The Knights infield consisted of Lane Bensko at first, Dana Saraceno at second, Mike Scrima at short, and Dan Draper at third. Greg Cot rell was the signal caller for the team. All C.I.F. Eski Viltz and All League Vahe Devian headed the outfield with Vic Trujillo patrolling left. Neil Berry and Tony Bertolino provided the Knights with their clutch hitting. Consisting of all righthanders, the pitching staff was very effective. The hurlers of the staff were Bob Westland, Rich Brown, Andy Rosero, and Steve Cottrell. The team attitude and its ability to come from behind were very important factors in making the season as successful as it was.

With fine play and excellent coaching, N.D should find themselves in the Del Rey League championship For the first time in three years the golf team has a Junior Var sity squad. Coach Loren Shakman is this year ' s team modera tor and is doing a fine job. Chuck Miller is contributing as the team manager.

Even more powerful punch was administered to all opposition by the doubles teams of Tim Beaulieu, Jay Hargear, Chris Gleiter and Paul Wise. The Junior Varsity team made an impressionable showing led by Greg Leiter, Mark Overton, Tom DeMarco, and Pat Sisneros in sin- gles play.

Judges Rick Podley and Keith Newman crowned Shelly McNair the first runner-up and Chris Maggio our Queen for the year The following night, the Notre Dame gym was taken over by a Dionysian Festi- val. Realistically decorated in a Roman atmosphere, the highlight of the evening was a ten foot fountain which sprayed a delicate champagne. Plinio Garcia and John Newell did a truly splendid |ob of designing the gym for this lavish affair. The Senior Class would especially like to thank Dan Osti, Chris Wilson, Scott Taylor, Curt Metzgar, Keith Newman, Rich Podley, and, of course, Mr. John Cser who pro- vided the necessary leadership for this gala affair. Also, we extend thanks to that great band, Rachael, who supplied a lot of foot-stomping excitement. Everyone who attended this event agreed it was a night they would fondly remember.

At the rallies, the students freely express their emotions through foot-stomping cheers. These boost the morale of the teams and also the loyal supporters. Attending a pep rally, one would certainly be impressed by the vociferous unity maintained by the Notre Dame student body. Though rallies don ' t guarantee success, they propose an image that would be the envy of any school wholly trying to show support of the team.

The dances draw strong support from the student body and their female aquamtances. Periodically throughout the year the Notre Dame gymnasium becomes a dance floor. Student body and class officers contract with popular bands to provide the entertainment. These occasions are chaperoned by mem- bers of the faculty and parents. The highlight dances of the year are the Homecoming dance in the fall, and the spring gala, the Junior-Senior Prom. At these two special events the students turn out in their finest attire to enjoy a pleasant fun-filled evening. TOP RIGHT: Everyone has a good time at Notre Dame dances, especially Curt Voltz BOTTOM LEFT: Live groups that are popu- lar with the student body make an N.D. dance even better. ABOVE, FROM LEFT: Jerry Morice, Tom Gregoire, Louis Niquet relax between dances. PROM The Prom is a much anticipated event each year at Notre Dame. It signals the fact that spring is finally with us and the school year is coming to a close. This year the 1 978 Junior Senior Prom was held at the nicely accomodating Beverly Hills Hotel. Notre Dame students and their pretty dates enioyed themselves tremendously as they ate a beautiful meal and danced to the music of TOWN CRYER. This event is certainly the highlight social event of the school year. These pictures below signify present Seniors who went to last year ' s Junior-Senior Prom. They repre- sent only a small fraction of those who went to this year ' s Junior-Senior Prom. it PAINT YOUR WAGON As usual, Notre Dame ' s dramatic presentation was a huge success again this year. The outstanding director of all recent Notre Dame theatricals, Mr. John Cser, showed once more his versatility and many talents by mak- ing the change from last year ' s comedy to this year ' s western musical Paint Your Wagon and producing an excellent show. The basic plot of Paint Your Wagon centers around the story of Ben Rumson (superbly played by Ron Mulvey) and his daughter, Jennifer (played beautifully by Cathy Fries), who are searching for gold in Califor- nia in the mid- 1 800 ' s. Jennifer finds a gold nuggett in a stream and soon mining town has sprung up around Ben and Jennifer. Ben has to send Jennifer to school in the East when the miners find Jennifer, the only girl in the town, overly attractive, but before she goes, Jennifer has fallen in love with Julio (David Ponce), a young Mexican. By the time Jennifer comes back from school, Ben acquired a wife from a Mormon named Jacob (Dernot Kiernan), the gold has run out, and Ben finds himself pen- niless and dissolusioned. However, the play ends optimistically as Jenni- fer and Julio plan to settle down as a happy couple and Ben and the rest of the miners (Ed Ecker and Charlie Von Der Ahe) go off after their wandrin ' , Wandrin ' star. This year ' s production could not have been a success without the musical accompaniment and vocal instruction of Mrs. Marjorie Kryder was an inte- gral part of all rehearsals. Of course, there is no such thing as a musical without music, and the Notre Dame Band, under the expert guidance and supervision of Mr. John Combes, sounded like a symphony orchestra while providing the many melodies. The dancing numbers were skillfully devised by Parti Martinelli and the expert advice of Assistant Director Johnny Doran was extremely helpful. All technical aspects were more than adequately handled by Mike Martin and his staff headed by Gurt Behlmer.

During the 1977 78 school year, the Notre Dame High School Stu dent Government has been dedicated to two goals. First, the Student Government wished to set a foundation for future student body gov ernments and second, they wanted to begin the maior changes, both in idealogy and practice, needed for the future of Notre Dame. In doing these things, the Student Council has implemented many new programs and ideas. They set up the Student Constitution, the basis for student rights, which was ratified overwhelmingly by the student body. A student affairs office has been set up to help solve student problems. A strong student Exchange Program, with Notre Dame as host school, has improved relations with other valley high schools. The most important program that the council has undertaken was the Documents For Change. Each member of the Student Council has studied a different part of the school and has written a document on the improvements needed. These documents have been reviewed and compiled and were given out to everyone involved with Notre Dame. The 1977 78 Student Government sought changes needed in the school Administration ' s policies and were successful. The ideology of student government has not been changed for the sake of change, but rather changed for the sake of Notre Dame.

After selecting a futuristic theme, the staff mem- bers went to work to take pictures, write copies, design layouts, and perform a myriad of tasks to put out the book. Major contributions were made by staff photographers who covered all events and provided a wide-range of pictures to represent the school year.

This is due to the fact that we have the finest and most responsible director in the valley in Mr. John Com- bes. The Band is divided into Marching Band and Concert Band. The Marching Band normally numbers 65. This is the band that is seen during football season and the one that competes in parades in the spring. The Concert Band which numbers 45 does concerts on and off campus. The purpose of the Concert Band is to bet- ter ourselves in sit-down performances. We also have a Pep Band that plays at basketball games. It is a voluntary organizations which numbers about 20 people The Marching Band has parades this year in Carson, Hawaiian Gardens, La Mirada and National City. They won the Cal State University Northndge Class A Field Band Contest. All in all, this year should be very successful for the band and the band is most appreciative of the efforts of its director, Mr. John Combes.

The spirit generated by these thirteen people unified the stands into an awesome cheering section. In the basketball season the spirit manufactured at our home court helped our basketball team to a 4- 1 league record at home. The band also contributed to the spirit of the Notre Dame Crowds. These cheer leaders were not the only ones leading cheers during basketball season. For the first time, Notre Dame elected a Junior basketball cheerleading squad. Unfortunately they could not be rep- resented pictonally but their efforts and successes demand much recognition. They helped the J.V. team to a winning season and we hope they will be back next year.

The club is composed of a spirited group of students. The objective of the club is to initi- ate spirit throughout the Student Body. The club accomplishes this by selling buttons, creating posters for the games, and maintaining an attendance at all the athletic events. The Pep Club keeps up the tradition of Notre Dame by encouraging all students to display their enthusiasm of the Knight teams and support the competitors ' efforts for victory. TOP: Pep Club officers Dana Saraceno and Scott Meyers discuss plans for a pep rally BELOW: The Pep Club serves as a nucleus of enthu ' siastic student boosters who are the heart of the support for the athletic events. BIG BROTHERS Unity between the classes can only strengthen Notre Dame. This goal was set as one of the objectives for the Senior Class sponsoring the Big Brother Program. The Big Brothers were composed of seniors who spoke to freshman classes in the hope of helping the frosh adjust to N.D. life. The program served as a line of communication between the A. SB. and the frosh. Through the Big Brothers freshmen were informed of upcoming events and urged to par- ticipate. It also allowed the freshmen to meet and associate with the leaders of the school. Getting to know the leaders ena- bled the freshmen to feel more at home and more secure in their responsibility. The class of ' 81 proved to be a very spirited and active group as they generally accepted the advice and friendship offered to them. The program did indeed assist them to adjust to their first days of high school.

One of the school ' s most prestigious organizations, the C.S.F., whose membership is limited to students of high academical caliber, has been formed at Notre Dame with the ob|ective of aiding any student with academically- oriented assistance. On its second year as an active organization, the club has broadened its services by provid ing students with tutoring sessions, college-counseling services and S.A.T. preparative lectures. With the support of its new and welcomed moderator, Dr. Karl Kleinz, the officers Plinio J. Garcia Jr., Dino DiBarttolomeo, and Daniel Lenoski-were able to provide interviews for incoming students so as to ease their entrance into high school when Fall arrives. Also, during the Holiday season, the club members left academics, momentarily, in order to sponsor the Week of Giving in which members collected food and monies so as to provide forty-three, needy families with a com- plete Christmas dinner.

At Notre Dame, this club has been one of the most active and widely involved groups and its activities have ranged from car rallys to helping feed the poor Indians of Baja California. Last year ' s major projects included a Senior Citizens Thanksgiving Day dinner and a Christmas collection for the needy. In the ' 77 ' 78 years, the key people behind this benevo- lent group are moderators, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Stocks, President Dennis Gian- greco, and Vice President Dan Kauzor. To become part of the Key Club is to become a member of a very active organi- zation of this school and the community. TOP, TOP ROW L. TO R.: E. Ecker, J Newell, D. Kavzor. MID OLE ROW: R.

This year the library has expanded the reference section, so that students can find a great wealth of detailed information in a short period of time. This year Bro.

In the spirit of the most information imparted to the greatest number, the Knight newspaper flourished this year. Born out of the joint supervision of Paul Dent and Peter Lansberg, the literary artistry of the Knight was apparent to all who read it. Unfortunately, its production was somewhat sporadic. Norby Zamora contributed ceaseless effort toward securing advertising, always the monumental task of a newspaper staff. The writing was rich and varied; critical adulation came quickly for journalists of the magnitude of Bill Celello, John Newell and Alex Pournelle. This pace was continued by the cartoons of Greg Gonzalez and Mike Stock- man. The intermingling of ideas never failed to provide a stimulat- ing intellectual atmosphere, and the editors of the Knights regret that they were unable to provide the type of saturation they had hoped. One can expect, however, that this year ' s shortcomings will encourage the beginning of a more struc- tural and reliable Knight media machine.

FORENSICS For the studenfwho wishes to develop his skills in the art of public speaking, Notre Dame offers an elective course in Forensics. The first semester of the class was taught by Mr. James Docherty. Early in 1 978, Mr. Michael Miller took over the task of instructing the group of loquacious students. This year ' s varsity teams include John Newell (Squad President), Keith Ward (Squad Vice-Presi- dent), Clark Britton and Tim Johnston. Kevin Ward and Wil Von Der Ahe occasionally make up a Novice team. Among the club ' s outstanding orators are Curtis Metzgar and Plinio Garcia, (Squad Secre- tary). Forensics offers the student the opportunity to learn the process of effective reasoning, communication, research and argumentation; skills which are man- datory in any career. The preparation is indeed demanding; however, the satisfaction of participat- ing and doing one ' s best makes it all worthwhile. Forensics ' excellence at Notre Dame knows no boundraies considering the fact that we have some of the best vocal chords in the state!

CHESS AND BACKGAMMON CLUB This year another club was added to the roster — the C B Club (Chess and Backgammon). However, this club was by no means just another club. It was formed due to the arising need of an antedote for the new disease that hit Notre Dame this year — BACKGAMMON FEVER. This treacherously addicting disorder can be recognized by excessive backgammon playing anytime, anywhere, and with anyone. This is often accompanied by with drawal symptoms consisting of an insatiable desire for at least one more game. The cure for this ailment is a very specialized program of therapy in which the patient undergoes participation in backgammon tournaments around-the-clock until he finally breaks forth from his syndrome. All rehabilitated chentel owe their gratitude to those few dedi cated individuals who developed the formula capable of sup- pressing this killer disease. Those men, who shortly hereafter should recieve a Nobel Prize for their efforts include Doctors Brian Berry (president), Eugene Cabico (Vice-president), Abilio Ramos (secretary). Jeff Greenfield (treasurer), and Mr Lee Carl son (Moderator). •uuuii -4IM an miiiA.iBuiFjr.iMM. (uli iiilti-ilt.il- ' ? : 1U ABOVE, TOP ROW: Ed Cabico.

This they found in simulation gaming, where students engage in military and diplomatic conflicts. Or, for a change of pace, students may engage in fantasy role playing simulations where magic is real, drag- ons are deadly, and treasures are out of this world. The Wargamers Club, in the second year of exist- ence, is moderated by Mr. Reilly, who assists in set- ting up the meetings. The Club meets at least once a month for a gaming session where three to six hours of challenging strategic conflicts occur. TOP: John De La Gamgue.

Headed by Blake Jones, President, and flanked by Patrick Leary, Vice-President, the Photo Club put photog raphy, as a hobby or a career, into perspective. The Photo Club taught people how to use the darkroom, their camera equipment and it also showed realistic applications of photography ' s special effects technique. This year ' s Photo Club had a large membership which proved that people were interested in the refinement of their photo skills. These people wanted to learn, there- fore, it became a highly educational and success- ful club. ABOVE, TOP TO BOTTOM: R Hyman, P. Lansberg, E. Cabico, C. De Camp, D. Hel- bock, J. Conigho, P.

VIDEO TEAM In its second year, the Notre Dame Video Team went out into the field to use its communication tool to help players and coaches in such sports as Football, Basketball, Baseball, Track and Golf. These tapes helped the various teams to better understand and improve their game. The team headed by John Holmes and assisted by Chris Holmes also taped such activities as rallies, plays and police science functions. The major purpose of the video team ' s activities was to assist in the instruction of students and to help preserve a small segment of the current history of Notre Dame.

It is one of the school ' s largest clubs and also one of the most enthusiastic. The moderator is the devoted Mr. Richard Stocks, the club ' s officers are Seniors Brian Berry, Abilio Ramos, and Eugene Cabico, respectively President, Vice-President, and Treasurer. It ' s activities have included: several speakers at eighth period, a trip to the Cal-Tech Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a weekend excursion to Cat- alina Island, fishing excursions, and the annual pho- tography contest. The activities and adventures of the club are only restricted by the ingenuity and willingness of the members themselves.

SPANISH CLUB Two years ago, the Notre Dame Span- ish Club was founded for the purpose of introducing the customs, traditions and tastes of Spanish, Hispanic, and Latin American cultures to the Notre Dame student. Since inception it has had strong support and interest from those m Spanish classes of the 3rd and 4th years. On it ' s third year the club is planning to hold an international language tour- nament, and to capture high places at Louisville ' s International Speak Off as it has m the past. Trips to restaurants and to museums will also be held, hopefully with frequency, as it has in the past. To broaden cultural horizons, enrich palates, and enlighten students of the Spanish culture are the objectives of the club which is moderated by Sr. Ferguson. The club is led by President Phnio Garcia, Vice-President Abilio Ramos, and Treasurer David Ponce, to the fulfillment of their goals in expe- riencing most Spanish Cultures.

This is the name of an organization here at Notre Dame that devotes all of its actions to helping the less fortunate and making Notre Dame a better place to go to school. The Y.C.S. existed at Notre Dame some years ago, but there hasn ' t been anything like it up until this year. Under the direction of Bro. John Doran, the Y.C.S. had a rebirth at Notre Dame. Bro. John ' s theory was that if a few key people confront the problem at N.D., that it could become a happier place for everyone. Recently the Y.C.S. has been very active, it held a retreat at Catalina Island for all of its members to attend. At this retreat the group discussed various topics ranging from the Bible to problems at N.D. This retreat was a very successful one, and the group plans to go on another in the near future. The Y.C.S. is also involved in the Los Ninos program. This is a group of dedicated young people who go down to Tijuana and spend time with the orphans and poor people. This group also gives food, cloth- ing, and friendship to these people. The Y.C.S. members took a trip down to Mexico with this Los Ninos group, and have planned to go again before the end of the school year. After looking at the Y.C.S. and what it does, we can see that it has become an essential part of our education, the kind of education you don ' t get out of books. MONOGRAM CLUB The club is designed to honor the varsity lettermen of the school while giving them a chance to develop their leadership qualities. The members of the club performed many services for Notre Dame and while helping the school, they helped themselves become better people. The officers of the Monogram Club play a major role in planning activities for the club and seeing their plans were carried out successfully. They worked in collaboration with the Monogram Club moderater, Mr. Paul Heaney, to make sure all activities were run with proficiency. The ma|or fund raising activity was a C.Y.O. grade school basketball tournament. This tournament earned a large sum of money for the club. The money they earned will be used for the members of the club. The Monogram Club also aids the school by working at basketball games and by making display plaques which honor past athletic accomplishments at Notre Dame. ABOVE, BOTTOM ROW: B Mandeville.

This group of individuals from the San Fer- nando Valley assembled to form a team to set a precedent of physical and mental excellence. The record which has been rec- ognized by President Carter and stands for all high schools in the State of California is 1 1 1 push ups. It has remained unbroken for one year Why did he do it? John says If you ' re going to be the best at anything, you have to know how to exert yourself and not only physically. MEMORABLE SENIOR COMMENTS Dino Andreola Living what we are. Breathing of the forces burning. We are children of the entire (turning back against the world.) In our planetary stand, We are all the wonder of a multicolored dream. Lost in time, in the impulse of delight, Cast into space who could ask for more? Francisco Aparicio If life could be the first day of spring, man would have nothing to live for. But because life is the first day of win- ter, man has everything to live for. Scott Arais You can ' t always get what you want. — Rolling Stones Chris Cahill Drummers do it with rhythm. Don Carlo (C. I. M.) I would like to congradulate all of my fellow graduates and wish them well. Remember, life is like the Godfather, It will make you an offer you can ' t refuse. Bill Celello What you own is you own kingdom What you do is your own glory What you love is your own power What you live is your own story In your head is the answer Let it guide you along Let your heart be the anchor And the beat of your song Mike Geary And so ends four short years. And though it seems so hard to say. Tommorrow seems like a piece of cake. Now, we must face the future. Though times may seem bad And times may seem good We must seek and conquer everyday For us an old motto goes ' That ' s Life — Sanyo ' Mark Connely Notre Dame has a lot of class, especially the class of ' 78. Good luck to everyone in the future. — Coons This land has lots of everything For me and Elmer Fudd. This land has lots of trousers This land has lots of mausers And pussycats to eat them when the sun goes down. Robert Cseko Sympathy understands cold knowledge, Meanwhile yearning, Definite intelligence, called Knowledge. Never dying. Tim Dean Sorry, I don ' t speak quaalude. Anthony De Bono Though now the days seem long and tedious I know some day I will wish they were back. Remember, Italians are the greatest. Good luck everyone. Thanks for every- thing Mom and Dad. Love you always. Chris DeCamp I ' ll see you on the dark side of the moon. — Pink Floyd Tom De Marco Be pompus, obese and eat catus Be dull and boring and omnipresent Criticize things you don ' t know about Beoblong and have your knees removed. Be tasteless, rude and offensive Live in swamp and be 3-dimensional Put a live chicken in your underwear Get all excited and go to the yawning festival. Mark De Robertis Lea, women, wine and hard work! Throwing yourself headlong into your work, into wine, and love, and never being afraid of either God or devil . . . that ' s what youth is. — Nihos Kazantzokir Mike Desmond There must be some kind of way out of here. — Jimi Hendrix Dino Di Bartolomeo Doit Be a Real Tryer Our Most Expressive Opinions. Fred Corradi This land is made of mountains This land is made of mud Danny Draper I learned to orate less and listen to those who ' s ideas are boundlessly primitive. Paul Espe I ' ll make it this time I ' m ready to cross that fine line. Steely Dan Brian Forster We ' re seniors already, and it ' s time to graduate. But, before we do, I want to thank everybody in the class of 1978, the administration, especially Brother James, for their patience and hard work; but most of all, I want to thank three special people, my mom, dad, . . . and Sherri. Bye Plinio J. Garcia El mundo no es nada si no hay nada en el mundo, pero nada en el mundo es tan necessario comoel mundo. Don Gordon Later Bros. Keith Hall To the 77-78 basketball team, good luck Bong Bong Leaf Enckson, Big fly Scott Taylor. Also to Bong, Fly, Georgie over the lips and through the gums look out stomach here it comes. Thanks Mom and Dad (Ralph), Kevin, Kern, Kyle and Kalvin. Good luck Notre Dame from Keith Hall. Glenn Hamelynck God made earth and rested. God made man and rested. God made women, and Since then no one has rested. R ick Hyman I think, therefore I am. Rick Janisch High school has had its ups and downs. There has been much pressure along with very little relaxation after. In the future we will look back and say that high school was not as bad as we had made it to be. It was fun but I would not want to go through it again. Dermot Kiernan Reap the benefits of life Go for the Gusto and enjoy life ' s reward. John King It ' s over but it ' s only just begun. Hey Keith, need a ride home from the play? You wouldn ' t want to ride your bike in rain. What ' s afloat after homecoming ' 77, Mike? The Yellow Bird . . . Fiesta Rah!! Mike Kramer What ever happened to Rodney Allen Rippey? Bryce Kruse I enjoy my life, and smile, and take it with a joke. And when I laugh, some people say I ' m weird and stare. These people don ' t accept me, but I don ' t really care. Life is beautiful, and mean ' t to be enjoyed, that ' s O.K. My friends and jokes go with me, to laugh another day. Craig La Grow Well, what should we say about N.D. guys? I could say that these last four years have been wasted time. Buty no, I ' m tired of that age-old mentality. I ' m going to say that I enjoyed my four years of high school ' cause when I ' m fifty years old and settled into my old-chair, with my beer and the tube, I ' m going to have missed it! ' Bye! Peter Lansberg Veni, Vidi, Vici. Greg Mac Laurin The future is Zanadu. Chris Mendoza I will never forget the good times with friends and family. Make mine music, a clear sunny day, and the roof down in the car. Be different!

Jerry Morice He who drinks, gets drunk. He who gets drunk, goes to sleep. He who goes to sleep does not sin. So lets all get drunk and go to heaven and party. And remember, whether we win or lose, ' 78 will be great. — Moon Ron Mulvey Battle of flowers, fiesta flambea. The Director ' s Award, the victory march. The Alamo, the River, N I OS A, and the raid. Cold pizza and beer at 1 a.m. — The Spirit of San Antonio lives on! Keith Newman A famous philosopher once told me something I ' ll never forget. He said always, no never, no always keep a trash bag in your car . . . If it gets full you can always throw it out the window ... Corvallis, Granada, women, Reilly ' s performances, foot- ball, cheerleading, Louisville, Queeg, concerts, friends — Pudge, Sar, Meyers, Anderson, Charlie V., Winkie and all the others, the system, P. L. M., and two great parents. You Know! —Chief Luis Niquet If you have pride, don ' t justify (Mr. Pridigious); ' 78 RAH . Maurice Oschlag Virtue is its own reward. Mike Payne Your high school years really fly, so get involved in some- thing and enioy them. You ' re only here once, so give it your best shot. Thanks so much Mom and Dad. I couldn ' t have made it without you. Joe Pincetich Have you ever noticed how every class that ever gradu ated from anywhere said, ' This Is the year that does something great, ' yet most don ' t. Maybe this year . Frank D. Pond Seniors — we must no longer look forward to be the leaders of tommorrow, rather we must all share in the leadership of today — though it would have been a lot better if we had been running this show four years ago. Abilio Ramos Happiness is not only having it but knowing what to do with it. Mike Shaw During the time I ' ve been going to Notre Dame I have changed a great deal in some ways and believe that now I am a better person than when I started. There is not enough space to list the many friends I ' ve made here. Mike Stockman Rush the hottest band and the best state of mind. Darrin Stone I had a fantastic time at Notre Dame. I give special thanks to all of my friends for being my friends, to Coach Larry Walker for what he did for me, to my family for everthmg, and to everybody else on my list too numerable to write down. Thank you. Tony Tedeschi Things to remember from high school: parties, Skene, dances, Karl Klienz, Big Bear, April 7, 1976, guest house. Marcel Vasquez Boston over Buffalo in 77 78. Park tops Perreoult. Jeff Beck is hot. Yes is O.K., right B.H., Wise? B.H. T.A.N. D.G.S.S. Miller High Life at Zuma. K2 downhill at Mammoth. Go for Fallbrook all year — goodbye. Escamillo Viltz In a person ' s life he meets another person who he dearly admires. The person whom I ' ve admired the most in my four years at Notre Dame has been Coach Al Alcala. He is a true person and a true man. Thanks Coach for all the help you ' ve given me.
