This mbolizes one of their tirst rites of passage. aft: Look into my eyes and you will see udents. Students who are walking to raise oney, -Mr Nocetti Walk-a-thon. The Walk-a-Thon is a day committed to demon- strating school pride, improving the school, and socializing with friends. It was a very sunny third of October day. Bleachers at the Polo Fields were jam-packed with freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. Mr. Scudder announced each grade to start, and then they were off. Each grade anxiously began by ripping and tearing through their banners like children opening Christmas presents. While the students were walking, teachers and parents prepared hotdogs, ice cream, and other goodies for the soon-to-be hungry. Many students had endless fun, but some had a few problems along the way. My friends and I had some difficulties while we were walking due to the massive intake of liquid before the walk, said freshman Chris Chan. Others had a great deal of fun and no problems at all. Sophomore Danny Meek added, l thought that the Walk-a- Thon was cool, great and very enjoyable. Freshmen Jennifer Choi and Stephanie Kwok commented afterwards, We had the greatest time of our lives, ' especially for the beginning of our freshman year, and we also enjoyed the half day off of school. Senior Jeff Jong exclaimed, It was great to go to the Walk-a-Thon as a senior. I had lots of fun. The weather was great, and time went by rather quickly. So, if you feel as though you are lacking in school pride, complaining about facilities, orjust plain bored, do something about it. Do INQ miss next year's Walk-a-Thon. It's one way you can make a positive difference for gtg -Jonathan Young '01 Above: Already pros, these seniors, Reena Krishnan, Candace O'Keefe, Margaret Jisrawi, and Nicole Bocci begin their last walk. We're sure they didn't get lost. Age of Reason 15

In addition, it was nice to get away from the school scene to do something thatl know will greatly benefit my school. - April Banker '00 The only thing that I can complain about was that this year there were no water tables. Overall though, it was a very fun school event. When I was a freshman I remember that it rained on us. I'm glad that my senior year's Walk-a-Thon had sunny weather and crystal clear blue skies. -Jason Gatchalian '98 14 Walk-a-Thon . Q '1 I

ABSOL TE ZERO FEVER . What was the hottest dance of the year with the coolest theme? You guessed it! Absolute Zero, the 1997 Homecoming Dance. Preceding the dance was a week of homecoming activities in which the nominees participated in games such as a penguin parade, snowball on a string, a winter clothes relay, and a great snowball challenge. I thought the homecoming events were a lot of fun. What was most special about homecoming was remember- ing how the experience was as a freshman, and now participating in it as a senior--seeing the class come full circle, commented Homecoming Princess Jennifer Lee. On the night ofthe dance, students filled the dance floor. The seniors knew that this night was special for them, while the younger classes watched anxiously, knowing that soon it would be their tum. From the gym floor, the crowd cheered on the nominees in the balcony. They were Erin Bechelli, Colleen Coussinat, Joanne Esteves, Ajah Herbert and Jennifer Lee, Ryan Cacanando, Patrick Dunne, Leonardo Fiallos, Garrett Hall and Zackary Rance. The student body members crowned Colleen Coussinat and Zack Rance Homecoming Queen and King. Sur- rounded by icicles with white scarves around their necks and white gloves on the their hands, the Royal Court made their appearance together on the dance floor. Long after the night ended, the dance remained a lasting impression in the minds of those who attended. It was put best by senior Candice O'Keefe, This was the best home- coming dance I have ever been to. Of course, we mustn't forget that we owe the success of the homecoming dance to the senior council. They put in long hours of planning and dedication to make all of the activities and the night of homecoming a spec- tacular event. Homecoming night was a suc- cess! All the lunch meetings, planning, and organizing really paid off on the night of our homecoming. In addition, the deejay did an outstanding job with the music, and the deco- rations suited our theme appropriately, recalls senior council member Elaine Mak. -Jennifer Williams '98 Right: Frances Graves and Jason Marshall dance to the beat.
