Age of Reason Student lie. The name speaks for itself Whether it involves taking a trip to Washington D.C., going on retreats, attending dances, rallies, and masses, or partaking in a variety of school functions, students take a lot of time out from their daily rou- tines to participate in school activities. They are not just co- curricular activitiesg they are not just for fun. These activities have become an extension of our education and a part of our lU'e here at Sacred Heart Cathedral. Student We involves ups and downs, as well as hard work and good times. We have come to accept the fact that lU'e as a student not only entails studying for tests and writing reports, but also coming to terms with learning to educate ourselves through our experiences. -Bindhu A.

All of these experiences add to the high school experience--Coming of Age. Becoming an adult includes taking responsibility for your actions,using your brain, being a good sport, and all those phrases you've heard your parents and teachers use many times. And, it is true.

So, get ready, you are about to embark on the joumey of your life. -Tracey Chang '98 Above: Sophomores Sandra Esain, Stephanie Leung, Betty Chu, and Carmen Bullard hang out during lunch.
