X 1,4423 ,,1W ,A . Special thanks to ason Hendricks, Brent Ambers. Nate Kirtman, Mark Matteucci, Linus Zabala. Eddie Tan, Ramon Alarcon, and Mike Meyers for their essential contributions. W between Brother Michael's Chorus and the Amana Boys, a psuedo-Menudo, disco and expert costume changing, dance and singing group came over from the Phillipines to entertain. The year did end on a more solemn note: leaving Saint Mary's were Brother Cecil with his legacy of the anima and the animus, and Brother Alan with his Mexican, party, and army stories. On an even more solemn note, we, the class of 1988, tragically lost a friend, Ken Helman. CHAPTER XI THE REBELS' REVENGE 1986 was a thoughtful year. Under the new leadership of Martin Edwards, the rebels saw the opening of the Imperial Science Base. They quickly invaded, and began to learn the ways of the force by Science Masters Balsdon and Nakahara. The rebels' first operation, the sponsoring ofa dance, met with disas- ter. With no support from the Rebel Alliance, or anyone else, for that matter, the organizers were forced to retreat. Their numbers had dwindled to 103, and they were still suffering casualties, at including Chris Thomas with his collar bone Cagainlj. By Christmas, the rebels threw together a last minute offen- sive: a candy-gram sale. It was a victorious success! The Saint Mary's T-shirts, with its innovative design and potentially eye- catchy advertisement, proved that they had spirit. Being quickly left alone by the Empire, they slowly, but surely, regrouped and reflected. During 8-1, a few rebels CMark Matteucci and crewj were exposed to the ups and downs of ocean fishing, a disgorging experience to be sure. Maybe jesse Upton could have comforted them with his acquiring Nirvana. Axel Olmos's new ST computer couldn't help, since he and Tony Calica were too involved mouthing who could do more. Too bad Mr.jeffry didn't receive a written invitation for Con Garretson's party, like everyone else. Maybe there might have been one. That was just about as funny as Eddie Murphy, but forget Beverly Hills Cop , talk to Simon Benazara about Beverly Hills S.A.T. . Good thing the Berkeley police werent around when Ali Roberts could not find drive, coming back from s'dlanoDcM. While arms deals were carried about in other parts ofthe world, Mason's water Uzis scored a big hit, being especially fun for Hassan Fattah: Why you do dat?!? The soccer team, at the time, was red carded on home turf: Why they do dat?!? theju- nior class on retreat were wondering why Mr. Turtle Davis personally escorted Lenny Fuller and Thatcher Davis from St. He- lena: Why he do dat?!? . 11:25 A.M. why was The Turtle and Brother Albert clearing out the Shea Center? why couldn't any- one buy the delicious, nutricious, religiously affiliated, meatless, and 100176 popular C.S.F. soup? BOMB THREAT!!!! EVACU- ATE THE SHEA CENTER!!!!!! However, the junior Prom didn't bomb. Brotherjohn and the junior council did a wonderful job. In early spring, Rebel Alliance intelligence sources picked up on startling news. Brother Michael was leaving our galaxy to build and command a new Death Star. Brother Michael's contributions to Saint Mary's were to remain a part of its history. We thank him and is missed. CHAPTER XII A CERTAIN PEACE And then there were 94. The rebels were no longer the rebels and the Empire was no longer the Empire. A certain peace had finally arrived. We welcomed our new Imperial leader from the galaxy of Fresno, Brother Dennis. Nick Lindsey, once commander of the fledgling forces, was now our A.S.B. president Clove those Board of Regents meetings!! Linus Zabala, who we had hardly seen the year before, had suddenly appeared, and was leading as the Senior Class President. Under the leadership of these two and the council, we were pulling full speed ahead amidst the celebration of our school's 125th anniversary.

CHAPTER IX THE SAGA BEGINS Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away . . . 134 new rebels convened at Saint Maryls to do battle against Broth- er Michael QLord Vaderj and the Senior Empire. The untried skills of the recruits were put to the test in chemical warfare CHZOJ on the new gym floor. In a world of Purple Rain and Miami Vice, the rebels united uneasily under the fledgling command of Nick Lindsey. They seemed a losing bunch, as the football and soccer teams mounted heavy casualties Cparticularly QB Chris Thomas and his collar bonej, but they struck back quickly, at the heart of the Dark Side. Brother Adrian was swiftly disabled in a Krazy offensive by Brent Rizkallah and Mark Tilley. The Empire struck back and Pat Dewees received the brighten- ing blow. Yet, there were peaceful times. On the serene lawns of Saint Mary's, those of calmer minds gathered to hear the lessons of Martin Edwards's parables. Meanwhile, on the smooth floors of the Shea Center, those of sounder mind gathered to break away from battle. The entertainment was diverse, having jim Meskauskas Done to Death in drama, as Kwame Thompson struggled portraying an astronaut in Mason Wong's failed video production of 2010: Odyssey Two . Behind the line, the black market thrived with flipping'lg Hung Mele's being caught put the end to that. Thaeon Polyzos and Trevor Tapscott cornered the market on 7- Up , New York Seltzers and Lemon Drops . My name is Kevin Bogar, million- aire, I crashed three Lear jets and bought two helicopters with the insurance money. This was only the beginningg things were falling apart: Mrs. Hack was viciously attacked by gypsies in a remote area of Spain. The year's battle campaigns ended on Peace Day, with a massive offensive against the Sophomore class which left the rebels of '88 with a scarred reputation. CHAPTER X UVENGEANCE FROM THE DARK SIDE They started with 1343 after their first year dealings with the Saint Mary's Em- pire , approximately 110 had survived. Before the Sophomore year started, the Empire already had plans for the returning rebels. Brother Michael began with a crippling speech which left them worried, worn, and warned. Nick Lindsey returned for a second year of command, but things would be different. The Shaggy-One returned from the distant planet of Salesian to pull the football teams from their losing rut. What a turn around: Ramon Alarcon's five mile high USIIHPHQ jason Hendricks domination of the varsity teamg and Michael Meyer's emergence as a starter. From the looks, sounds and smells of the vehicles on campus, they knew a change was coming.
