The Freshman Extraveganza was just one of the events that SBO Council planned at the leadership workshop. r an fix ff' I like that the Leadership meetings are in the night now instead of the moming. It gives us a chance to discuss topics in full detail without the restraint of school bells. I think that the night meetings are a great way for the different councils to communicated with each other, plan events, and evaluate them after they occur. - Celina Gomes '00 Even though the Leadership Workshop took days off of our summer vacation, I think that was a good idea.

Behind the Scenes... On June 12 and 13 members from Student Council, Tuff, Block Club, Lasallian Youth, and Campus Ministry met for a leadership workshop. During this two day and one night meeting, many things were accomplished. The meeting opened with an array of ice - breakers to get everyone aquainted with each other. At the meeting, a representative from Myers Briggs came to hand out the results of the Myers Briggs test taken a couple weeks before the meeting, along with an explanation of the results. The test results help determine what kind of leadership role a person is most suited. A big part of the meeting was determining goals for the upcoming year. The large group broke into small groups to discuss different events and ideas that they wanted to accomplish during the new within the next year. The school leaders met again before school to renew their goals devel- oped earlier in the summer. During the school year, SHC's school leaders met every first Monday of the month to discuss items pertinent to the month. They also discuss plans for the new month and evaluate events that took place the previous month. -Bindhu A.

The annual class masses represent an excellent opportunity for both students and their parents to reflect and pray together. This reflection and prayer help draw the class together to hopefully form a lasting bond. This bond carries through the year and grows stronger with every day until graduation, when hopefully we can truly say we are united. - Mark Doherty '98 I enjoyed the sports mass because it allows thc family to meet with the other athletes and coaches. In addition it was an opportunity for the teams to come together to offer our prayers to God and to thank him for the successes of the season. I like the fact that they are held in the gym, because it symbolizes God's support and presence in sports. -Marlene Tam '98 IO Masses
