MAKING LIFE UNIQUE Dominic Kern is a very individ- ualistic and special person. He tries to make his life unique through his personal interests. One of his major interests is the less-than-mainstream music that he enjoys. He listens to such bands as the Clash, Public Image Limited, the 3 O ' Clock and X. Dominic hopes that through his actions, the people around him will become more aware of whom Christ is and what the Church is. His non-Catholic friends at home often ask him about various Catholic doctrines and beliefs. Dominic appreciates the voca- tional support that he gets from his parents and friends. Dominic loves to be with chil- dren. He says that whether he be- comes a priest or not he wants to make children a part of his life. Children teach him about simplic- ity and trust. He recalled Christ ' s words, Let the children come to me and do not hinder them, (Mark 10:14). 1. Seniors enjoy an afternoon game of raquctball together. 2.

It is all in that moment when I opened my young eyes on it. 1 came upon it from a tussle with the sea-and I was young-and I saw it looking at me. Only a moment: a moment of strength, of romance, of glam- our-of youth! ... A flick of sunshine upon a strange shore . . . -Joseph Conrad Diego Hernandez St. Sebastian ' s Parish West Los Angeles Never fear shadows.

William Francis Killmond St. Mel ' s Parish Woodland Hills And Power was with him in the night, Which makes the darkness and the light, And dwells not in the light alone, But in the darkness and the cloud As over Sinai ' s peaks of old, While Israel made their gods of gold Altho ' the trumpet blew so loud. -Alfred, Lord Tennyson Franklyn Anthony Molina St. Thomas the Apostle Parish Los Angeles With a record of numerous sport Championships and awards, Viei Nguyen has clearly proven his athle- tic expertise. Yet, he can remember when his most involved part in any sport activity was standing at the sidelines; not because he could not play in the game, but because he did not understand it. His interest com- pelled him to learn by watching oth- ers. During the summers. Viet ran in a CYO track league and played com- petitive water polo. Through these ac- tivities he developed his natural athle- tic talents. The Seminary sports pro- gram gives him the opportunity to re- veal himself as a formidable adver- sary on the field. For one so successful, Viet takes his athletic accomplishments in stride. He considers sports fun. and a great way to keep in shape. Viet plans on going to St. John ' s to continue seeking out his vocation, possibly the priesthood. Next to this goal, sports are insignificant!
