Academics still held ther high standards for which the students and tac- X ulty have been recognized. Pride shone brighter than ever as competitive sports teams worked and came out on top time after time. Christian service grew in size and participation and gave students the opportunity to learn from a diverse group of people. y dJh bth m- tth tlgt Q .y msgid? We've Got The Touch 3 GETTING IN TOUCH The real family touch is a feeling that cannot be actually defined. School spirit represented by blue and gold uniforms and banners is actually a front for the family touch. The true touch can be viewed at retreats, at funerals for students and their families, and in the commu- nity when the school lent a helping hand for support through the good and bad times. This touch was not just seen in any one specific group. It was a culmination of everyday living. Despite the fact that it seemed to be taken for people took notice that TOUCH!

Looking ick at the year, we saw the ark and effort that went , , . 1- W 6 av: .nz , e .e into all that we did in our school and in service to the elderly, disabled, and poor. We worked and played to the best of our abilities. We learned what life was really about by experience inside and outside the classroom and it was all worthwhile, because in the process, we realized that WE'VE GOT THE TOUCH. gg .

A l Summer flew right by and we didn't even catch a glimpse of it. After summer it was back to hot stuffy classrooms, chaotic states of mind, and yes, a new bell system. As we sat in the classroom and saw all of our friends that we hadn't seen all summer and never got around to calling, we had so much to talk about, so much to say. However, being the eloquent, cre- ative, well spoken people that we were, the only thing that we could ever seem to come up with was . . . so, what did you do over the sum- mer vacation? Well, what DID you do?!!! For some, working and trying to get through those summer history and English reading lists was pret- ty intense, not to mention summer school and the scorching hot weather. Band practice and sports conditioning only added to our sedulous, hard work. On the other hand, movies, the mall, and basi- cally bumming around were popu- Anna Sanchez enjoys a relaxing ride along Hua Hin Beach in Thailand. She came to love the serene turquoise ocean.

For others, with the totally cool beach weather, it was like cowabungal Surf's up dude as several beach- goers headed out toward the swells to either surf the unreal waves or just to catch a piece of the sun. For those who prefered solid ground, Pipeline, a popular skateboarding and freestyle biking hangout in Upland, was the hap- pening place to be. However, out of the many, a few people were fortunate enough to travel inter- nationally. Colette Johnson, Chris Lee, and Anna Sanchez were only three of the many summer adventurers. Colette Johnson was able to visit Switzerland. What she liked best was the eternally green landscape and the very different yet inter- esting customs. Although home- sick at times, she said, It was the best two months of my life! Chris Lee spent sensational days and sparkling nights in dazzling Hong Kong. Though a hot and humid city with concrete and metal structures for landscaping, it was truly a funkytown. As he put it, Hong Kong is one of the most diversified cities in the world. It has everything. Anna Sanchez spent a very interesting and touching, learning experience in Thailand. Contrary to what many believe, the city is a very modern one. It is full of wealth, culture, and beautiful structures and landscaping. However, she re- vealed, lt's the people that I fell in love with. They weren't shy, but very friendly and hospitable. For many, the summer had been an exciting and eventful one. Not only was it a learning experience, but it was also a period of growth. Whether you stayed home, worked, or partied all summer long, in the words of Jimmy Thomas, Summer vacation was way too short.

Divided into two one-week sessions, it was held at the De Paul Center in Montebello. The first session consisted of campers under the age of 18, and the second consisted of those over 18. During these weeks, counselors developed one-on-one relation- ships and became the camper's companion. They assisted the in- dividuals in the daily programs such as religion, music, arts and crafts, sports, and swimming. At night, campfire activities and dances were held. The second ses- sion involved more activities. Those in this session went to Knott's Berry Farm, the beach, and Golf Land. Altogether, the ac- tivities and programs gave a wide variety of camp experiences that invloved both fun and hard work. In taking care of the campers 24 - .Q ., T, Senior Annette Anguiano and her favorite the second week, Annette took charge of camper, Celina Rodriguez, take time out two additional campers who really kept to rest after a game of wiffle ball. During her busy. hours a day, students learned a great deal of responsibility. Some had to regularly assist their camp- ers in bathing, changing their clothes, and eating. There were also times when the campers had tantrums or seizures where being calm and brave was the only way certain situations could be han- dled. Regardless of all the hard work, Hernani Ledesma felt, Camp Under the Son was filled with experiences you just walk away fromf, can't K l 5,-ae xx During free time, junior Felicia Seamans and alumni Mike Dorantes relax after a long afternoon.

New Experiences a ei Students The last remembrance of school was that of sweaty bodies, slow clocks, and boring lectures. This was the nightmare students had two months to forget. Most spent the time under the heat of the sun. This may have accounted for the general loss of I.Q. points during this period. As the end of August approached, the terror of the classroom gripped them. It was like waiting for the dentist to pull out a tooth. The frightening part was that it was a couple of weeks away. Realizing a need to prepare for the awesome task of nine months of brain saturation, stu- dents decided to begin the year Senior Maria Tesoro uses her lunchtime to fix her make-up. Like many other stu- dents, Maria came o school with a new Wit S25 look. x 12 Student Life with style. Buying books was the first real hassel. The average person spent about S170 for new books. On top of that, some had to wait two hours to get them. The next step was purchasing school supplies. This really took special effort. After all, who wanted to wake up at 9:00 A.M. and wrestle with oth- er shoppers for notebooks? The most important thing to do was shop for new clothes. At last, there was an excuse to run mom and dad's credit card to the limit. After getting hair cuts or perms, new shoes, and clean shaves, the students were ready. The first days prepared the stu- dents for what would be expected of them. A new public announce- ment system was installed to re- place the outdated one. New facul- ty faces appeared. lt was evident that the faculty and administra- tion had spent much time to make the year run smoothly. More than usual, the first days proved to be very hot and humid making the first week based on minimum day schedule. For the most part, ev- eryone appeared to feel good about the new experience ahead- making new friends, getting new teachers, and starting fresh. l Y 'f Senior David Sandoval, a new student, takes time out to catch up on his reading.

Ever since his tragic shoot- ing, the Pope has ridden in a custom made, bullet proof car. The sidewalks become a home away from home for juniors Elena Mejia, Tricia Brown, and Kristine Kasionovitz.

They used colorful balloons and signs in hopes the 14 Student Life L A Pope would notice them. ELL On September 15, 1987, stu- dents and faculty took part in a historical event never to be forgot- ten. Holy Father, Pope John Paul II visited Los Angeles. This was the first time any Pope had come to this part of the United States. The start of the P0pe's two day visit was the motorcade in which over one thousand students and faculty took part. The Papal motorcade began at the L.A. International Airport and ended at Saint Vibianas Cathe- dral. Along the route, thousands and thousands of people had been waiting several hours for the Pope's arrival. Those from Bishop Amat who wanted to attend had to be at school 4:30 A.M. By 6:15 A.M., the first 18 buses had left the school, and by 7:00, had ar- rived at their destination. After arriving, students pro- ceeded to the corner of Sunset and Broadway, Amat's designated spot along the route. When students fi- nally found the place they wanted to be, it was time to visit. Many different things were done while waiting. Some students just sat and talked. Others searched for the needed restrooms or restuar- ants. Still others decided to ex- plore the streets of L.A. The smarts ones, however, pulled out their blankets and caught up on sleep lost waking up 3:30 in the morning just to be there. They knew that there was a long wait ahead of them. As the 10 o'clock hour ap- proached, students began to get ready. The Pope had landed and was expected to pass by at 11:10. Last minute searchers for res- trooms and food hurried so as not to miss the Pope's passing. Famil- iar cheers were begun by students. The old Amat, Lancers, Number, One! was said back and forth across the street. Students really got spirited. The wave was even attempted. When police cars and limousines passed by, the students knew the Pope was near and the cheering intensified. The Pope finally appeared in his Popemobile along with Arch- bishop Roger Mahony. The stu- dents were awed as he passed by considerably over the expected .FQ S 4. i fl . a is-it Smiling seniors line the streets as a feeling of anticipation fills the air, The long wait was about to pay off. -L GMES if Cloud nine miles per hour. In a flash, he was in and out of sight. As soon as he passed, everyone started head- ing either for the buses or for the Cathedral. For the students, it was time to head to the buses which were found several miles away. When asked what she thought about the motorcade, junior Chris- tina Kim commented, When he finally passed by, all the waiting seemed worth it. Many others felt the same way. Mr. Dave Me- dina felt that the students acted responsibly and made the day an overall success. Whether or not one felt the hassels of seeing the Pope were worth it, the day would never be forgotten when you chat- ted with police officers and even gave one of them a Lancer cap, watched and listened to Hispanic performance groups, tried to bar- gain with venders selling Pope memoribillia, or begged those passing out balloons to let you have one. Taking part in the Papal motorcade was truly an exper- ience to remember. Senior Miles Masatsugu takes a quick nap before the Pope arrives. Having stayed up all night, many eyelids were heavy in the early morning hours. Papal Motor Cade 15 He mwlwvf Our Lives It is not often that people are given the opportunity to take part in as highly an emotional event as that attended by a selected group of students. The event they at- tended was the Papal Teleconfer- ence to Young Adults held at the Universal Amphitheat r day for the stud Y. ni' a d fac- ulty. The majori y att n -o the Papal Motorcade n Lo An es. Thirty-three stu nts, howeve were fortunate en ugh in be cho- sen to attend the Papa Telecon- ference. Seeing the Pope was a special experience in itself. The excitement was only intensified by the fact that these students would be sharing it not only with the 6,000 youth in the Amphith- eater, but, with the use of Space- bridge, also with youth in St. Louis, Missouri, Denver, Colora- dog and Portland, Oregon. September 15 U Singer Tony Melendez was an inspirational addition to the event. The Pope was espe- cially thrilled with this gift of courage frorn Los Angeles. The Pope and Archbishop Mahony ac- knowledge the high school youth in the other three Spacebridge cities. Because the Pope had limited time in the United States, Spacebridge gave these cities the pportunity to participate in his visit. X 16 Student Life Although Pope John Paul II did not arrive until 3:00 p.m., the pro- gram had started almost two hours before. Entertainment was provided by a variety of perfor- mance groups. However, a power outage which caused near panic among the technical crew, cut the program short. Some acts were cancelled including one to be per- formed by juniors Stephanie Breen, Michelle Torrico, and Jen- nifer Anthony. They had put in many hours of rehearsal and were very disappointed. When the Pope finally stepped on stage, he was greeted with cheers and the song He's Got the Whole World in His Handsf' sung by the whole audience. By that time, there was so much energy in the building that everyone present found it difficult to contain them- selves. There was much to be said to the man who held the respect of people everywhere. The program was climaxed with a performance by Tony Melendez. Born with no arms, he played the guitar with his feet and sang beau- tifully, demonstrating courage, Los Angeles' gift to the Pope. Too soon, the Pope had to leave.

There were new clubs presented as well, including New Image which was created after the dis- continuation of the Bowling Club, Fantasi, a club for those interested 1 es such as Dungeons and Dragons, and the Amat Cycling Club. At the tables, future club members were told of the various planned activities including trips to Disneyland, miniature golf out- ings and also a trip to participate in the taping of the popular televi- sion show Who's the Boss? Although most of the clubs pre- sent were social organizations, there was also a table for the Christian Service program. Sister Mary Coheady, the Christian Ser- vice Moderator, took advantage of Club Week to recruit students in- terested in participating in the various programs offered at Gold- en Age Convalescent Hospital, Mac Laren Hall, Lanterman State Hospital, Special Olympics, and also a sign language class offered on Wednesday afternoons. All of the club officers agreed that Club Week had been an abso- lute success. Senior Eddie Yerkish commented that he was really im- pressed with the variety of clubs and all the activities already planned. Club Week is some- thing totally unique to Bishop Amat,', senior David Sandoval said. f'At my previous high school they had nothing like this.

Club Week 19 it Quake ww 49 Campus Many students don't expect school days to be lively, but Thursday, October 1, 1987 was just that. Students were set for a day of tests and lectures. Little did they know that this day would be a day they would never forget. At 7:43 A.M., fear and chaos hit the campus. A 6.1 earthquake cen- tered in Whittier, California, hit the Southland stirring the nerves of students and faculty. Windows broke, clocks and books fell, walls cracked, and students scurried. Three strong after shocks oc- cured in the hour following the quake. This moved groups of friends to huddle in circles, to hold hands and pray that they would survive. Many students had never felt an earthquake of this high intensity, therefore, it was a real shock to them. The first concern of the faculty was to get the students to safety. Putting the practice drill proce- dures into action as quickly as possible was the reaction of princi- pal, Mr. Meritt Hemenway. He was confident that the students would cooperate. All were directed to the football field where teams of teachers were formed to inspect the school for damages. After ob- serving the structures, they real- ized that the school was unsafe for classes. Gradually, students were released to parents. It was not un- til nearly 2:00 P.M. students were safely that all the One positive result of this or- deal was a unification of students. Friends discovered to whom they could turn in emergency situa- tions. The administration also re- alized that they could count on the student body in crisis situa- tions. Before everything calmed down, another after shock reaching 5.5 hit again at 4:00 A.M. Sunday morning, October 4. This, once again frightened people. Everyone hoped that it would be the last of the terror. A week went by before everyone calmed down and got back to seri- ous schoolwork.

You bet it was! Traditionally, Pep Week was the only time when the students were observed without the restrictions of the normal dress code. Pep Week got off to a slow start due to an event that had happened the week before - the earthquake. Many students did not attend school the Friday before Pep Week, therefore, they did not know that Monday's dress-up day was Blue and Gold. The freshmen were very excited about the events and proved it by winning the first dress-up day. From that day on, the number of students who dressed up went up greatly. The rest of the days, Little Kid Day, Sports Day, and Sixties Day brought victory for the senior class with all of the other classes close behind. Friday, as always, was different. A diversity of peo- ple including, beach bums, for- eigners, rock stars, cannibals, pi- rates and the cast of Gilligan's ls- land invaded the campus. The spirited juniors had the most par- ticipation with their South Pacific theme. Pride and spirit were ap- parent in the juniors' support of that dress-up day especially, as fl ll l of I H well as in the designing of their area. Much enthusiasm resulted from the success of the lunchtime games. These included pie-eating, blindfolded donut-stuffing, and baby bottle drink.

Floats and deco- rations were torn down and scat- tered across the campus in ruins. The juniors though, seemed to suf- fer the most damage. Their desig- nated pep area behind the gym was completely destroyed. How- ever, if vandalism was meant to dampen the spirit of the student body, it failed , . . miserably. Dur- ing classtime as well as both lunches, students diligently worked to repair the damage in- flicted on the floats as well as put- ting some improvements on them, making them better than ever. Each class pulled together as one and in no time at all, the floats were ready to roll! The amount of preparation for the final day of Pep Week was enormous. All four classes worked hard on their floats and on their shows for the rally. According to junior Jean Selvaggio, We worked for about two weeks, three to four hours every day at the work parties. It was very tiring, especially on school nights, but it was worth it in the end. The week was very hard indeed, but it was not without fun. Stu- dents were allowed to dress in var- ious ways during the week accord- ing to the theme of the day and to which class they belonged - a great way to break dress code and use some creative imagination. It was Friday, though, when everyone came dressed to play, making that the day of greatest participation. Freshmen arrived dressed as their favorite rock n' roll stars, while sophomores dressed in native cos- tumes for their International theme. Juniors disguised them- selves as exotic savages, treasure- hungry pirates, or just lost tourists for the South Pacific style. Sum- mertime Blues was the name of the game for seniors who dressed accordingly: beach and swimwear and lots of sunscreen. Students had trouble concen- trating in their seventh period classes. Excitement built up be- cause the final Pep Week rally would come with the approaching bell for in this case, air-raid siren due to the new bell systeml. Out- side, there was great commotion with people running around tak- ing care of last-minute details. 14. 9 54 sk Sophom es c er ln lnner clty style as en' e mc theme Their floats class was International 24 Student Lute A i Ten minutes before starting, how- ever, the junior float engine died. After several unsuccessful at- tempts to jump-start the truck, they resorted to having their float towed. That didn't change things a bit though, for as it turned out, the parade and the junior class float were a great success. The parade itself on Friday was the high point of all Pep Week. It included the lip-sync contest, which came before the parade and set the atmosphere for the crowd who responded with great enthu- siasm, not to mention lots of cheering and screaming. After the crowd died down to a semblance of order, the floats rolled in. Every class float did their job of inciting the audience, most notably the seniors who doused them with buckets of water. The parade was followed by the judging of each class' participation over the week. This honor was narrowly won by the senior class. Students were excited to see Pep Week come, but not to see it go. Friday was the greatest day of the week but also the last. Too bad the spirit and enthusiasm couldn't last all year long.

High school students, with busy schedules, made time for their good friends and the many fun- filled activities. The weekend of October the 16th thru the 18th, was dedicated to work as well as frolicking in the festive atmo- sphere of the Bishop Amat Fiesta. After the football game against Saint Bernards on Friday, October 16, students rushed over to the glitter of the lights to begin spend- ing their hard earned money, or for some, their parent's hard earned money on all the games and rides. Food was another tradi- tional delight. After a hard day at school, food was what most stu- dents wanted. Pizza, Mexican food, Filopino food, snow cones, and candy were just a few of the scrumptious items sold. ln big, red lights was seen the word ZIPPER, an action ride in the middle of the field. A line a mile long waited to get on that ride. After twisting, turning, and flipping around, stomachs didnit necessarily feel the same. For parents, students, alumni, and their friends, the Fiesta was just one big party with special ef- fects, games, and prizes. Many walked around, enjoyed the sights, and talked to friends they hadn't seen for ages. In between time, food was enjoyed, games were played, and some lucky people took home a few stuffed animals. Fiesta was a time for friends, fun, and food. The problem - it only happens once a year. So many made the most of the way they spent this special occasion. Clinching arms while walking to another ride, sophomores Antoinette McGee. Brenda Wisniewski, Angel Zarate, Veronica Garcia, and Patrice Adkins share some iaughs. They enjoyed each others friendf ship in and out of class. Fiesta 27 W , . X ff!!! fl! M!! ,qixxxxxxxxifzsiix ShsXXXXXXXXgi1y,,,, ee Student Involvement ' Success Student involvement in the fi- esta has always been a tremendous boost to its success. This year the tradition lived on. Students used their own time and energy to as- sist the school in one of its biggest events and money-raisers of the year. The selling of an extra book of fiesta tickets was emphasized and encouraged. The incentives of free dress and prizes of money to the highest seller of extra tickets were also a help in selling these books. Those who sold their tickets were put into a daily drawing, from which they could win Christmas Ball Bids, tickets to the Fall Pro- duction, and many more fun and exciting prizes. The fiesta profits were dedi- cated to repairing the damage to the school suffered by the earth- quake of October 1. Students asked people and businesses to sponsor their club or class booth. These sponsorships not only raised money for the school, but also for the clubs. Students were also there when it came to lending a helping hand. Many students signed-up to work booths at the fiesta. They took time out of their own lives to come and experience the feeling of in- tensity and excitement in the fies- ta atmosphere. Fun wasn'tjust go- ing to the fiesta for the rides, it was also working in the booths. This gave them more time to spend with their friends and fa- vorite members of the faculty. It wasn't tedious work. It was fun work that brought out the best in all people. 28 Student Lne Seniors Lisa Villareal, Peter Bonsangue, Richard Vollaire, and Ray Rocha occupy the Fudge Booth.

For a few students, however, it meant time to audition for the presentation 4'Tomorrow, Today, and Yester- day and to present the first Fall Musical Production in the history of Bishop Amat. The production, which was pre- sented during Fiesta Weekend, October 17 and 18, was centered around the themes of the past, present, and future. Various songs from different plays such as Fun- ny Girl, Damn Yankees, and 'AA Chorus Line were sung, danced to, and acted out. Several clever and hilarious skits were in- corporated to produce one grand show for everyone. What was great musical enter- tainment for the audience, was an opportunity for the participants to achieve different aspirations. For some, like Tammy Mello, it was a great chance to make peo- ple smilef' The feeling of becom- ing another person and leaving my problems behind as I take on someone else's, was the reason why Greg Boardman joined. Stephanie Monroe expressed an- other view. She said, 'tThe fact of standing on stage pleasing others with my singing was my motiva- tion. The preparation that went into getting everything ready was difficult. Contacting alumni, such as Lisa Muhlethaler and Kelly Sherwood, to take part in the re- view, was no easy task. Rehearsing took approximately 2 to 5 hours a day, for two months. Often times homework was done before and after rehearsing onels part, which wasn't much time at alll But all the hard work, effort, and dedica- tion, together with the guidance of the director, Sandra Roberts fA.K.A. Sandil, paid off with the great performance they gave. As the project came to an end, the participants were practically a family caring for each other. That's what the show was all about.

The entire student body took part in elections for the court. Those nominated were well-liked fellow classmates who were chosen be- cause they were involved in school activities, as well as popular on campus. Finalists were presented at the Homecoming rally which treated us to a roaring twenties skit about our opposing team, Ser- vite. Special interests, future plans, and student acheivements were some of the informative an- nouncements made about each member of the court. Candidates consisted of well-rounded stu- dents who participated in activi- ties such as sports and pep squad. Homecoming gave everyone the opportunity to share their school spirit. Vintage cars from the twen- ties carried the court past the stands to be cheered by the audi- ence. The band played as the court, dressed in the twenties theme, walked down the aisle to- ward the stage escorted by their parents. Students, teachers as well as many alumni attended the vic- torious Homecoming football game against Servite High School. As if the excitement of the game was not enough, the traditional moment during halftime when the Homecoming king and queen were announced had everyone on the edge of their seat. The stadium was quiet and all eyes were on the court, as they stood together on the stage anxiously waiting, like the rest of the crowd. The silence lasted for only a short time, for the moment finally arrived when Mr. Merritt Hemenway an- nounced senior Renee Nevins as queen and senior Chris Ohno as king. The crowd filled the stadium with their enthusiasm as they ap- plauded and cheered. The rest of the court congratulated the king and queen with warm hugs, kind words, and admiration. Though the crowd was able to witness these moments, few knew the feel- ing of hearing themselves an- nounced Homecoming king and queen. Queen Renee Nevins ex- claimed, I was excited! He an- nounced it so quickly. I just turned to Patty Guzman and she gave me a hug. It was fun on the stage afterwards because everyone was really excited. People were taking pictures and I felt good be- cause my dad was proud of me. King Chris Ohno, who was playing in the football game that evening, added t'We were coming back on the field after halftime and I was thinking about the game, but I was surprised to hear I won. Friday evening concluded with a well at- tended party for the alumni in the gynr Though the most traditional part of Homecoming was the crowning of the king and queen at the football game, there was also the Homecoming dance Saturday night, October 24, which was given by Student Council. The gym was decorated with ballons and streamers to carry out the 20's theme, but the use of laser lights fdefinitely eightiesl was exper- ienced for the first time at a dance. Students looked forward to honor- ing the court as they processed down the aisle to the center of the gym. This dance was given espe- cially in their honor. This concluded the Homecom- ing festivies, but the students have the shared memories that will re- main with them until the moment when next year's king and queen are crowned. 32 Student Lne The 1987 Homecomin court Ctop to bot- S tomb: Wade Kennedy, Marlon Singleton Chris Ohno, Charlie Cook, Alex Arrellano Manuel Delgado, and JR.

The evening began with a med- ley of traditional Christmas carols sung by the choir and accompa- nied by the band under the direc- tion of Mr. Victor Rodriguez. The performance turned into a sing along with all the people in the audience. In order to prepare for the pro- duction, the cast rehearsed for ap- proximately six weeks.

The work didn't seem to bother the students. For example senior Francis Sinapi ex- pressed her feelings in this way, The best thing about working on the play was the dramatic exper- ience and the friends we made. Others in the cast enjoyed working on the play because they loved to act. Sophomore Kelly Younger de- scribed acting by stating, Acting means forgetting your own per- sonality for an hour and at the same time staying true to yourself inside. The Christmas production, along with all of the other produc- tions, came together under the guidance of director Sandra Rob- erts. Since Sandy, as she likes to be called, started directing, the plays and musicals have become more successful. Sandy enjoyed working with the cast and devel- oped many, good friendships. Sophomore Kelly Younger ex- claimed, Sandy is more like one of the kids than the techerf' She seemed to enjoy working with the cast and the results were evident in the success of the productions. Preparation not only involved rehearsels of their lines, but also taking of acting lessons. Sandy of- fered the lessons to anyone in the cast who wanted them. They prac- ticed such exercises as improvisa- tion. The class was split into groups, and each group was given a topic to act out. They were given such topics as monkey and hurricane . Once the play ended, the choir came back on stage for a final per- formance. Junior Stephanie Mon- roe topped off the evening by sing- ing a beautiful Christmas carol. The entire event was a truly en- joyable experience for all. Every- one who attended felt that it was a great way to start off the Christ- mas season.

These two ingredients were com- bined as the senior class once again brought Christmas to Dolo- res Mission. However, many of the people who went felt that Dolores Mission had brought Christmas to them and the experience would re- main with them forever. Who could forget the excite- ment of the children, the broad, hopeful smiles, and the eyes twin- kling with anticipation when the bus, or if you will, Santa's sleigh arrived? Who could forget the bombardment of kids when Santa, also known as Henry Molina, ar- rived, or the hop-scoth games, jump rope contests, and piggy- back rides which the seniors seemed to enjoy more than the younger children?

The kids could not contain their excitement any longer. They waved their arms in hopes that they would be next to recieve a gift. What happened next depend- ed upon the teacher and the indi- vidual child. Some teachers pre- ferred that the children take the present home and others allowed them to open the gifts as soon as everyone had one. Even so, some of the children decided to wait un- til Christmas so that they would have something to open. Those who did open their gifts showed the seniors a small piece of the joy which they had brought. The kids' eyes grew bigger and danced with excitement when they saw what they had received. This more than thanked the sen- iors for their efforts and made the trip more than worthwhile. As a matter of fact, many volunteers felt that they had received more than they had given just as they had been taught. It was a very good experience and I wish I could go back because you get to see what Christmas is all about, stat- ed Stephanie Herreria. Her feel- ings reflected those of everyone who took part in the experience. That everyone enjoyed the day was especially obvious when it came time to leave. No one wanted to go home and the children did not want the seniors to leave. One explanation for this was offered by Christina Durazo, I didn't want to leave because I got close to the kids in the short time we were there. Overall the experience was one that will live forever in the memo- ries of both the seniors and the children. It was a learning exper- ience: the seniors learned about life and the beauty of giving while the children learned that people could be generous and loving. However, the most important thing of all was that everyone learned the true meaning of Christmas. 36 Student Life Hope Stanley and Marti Hoye join in a game of jump rope.

Time was set aside to share special events with loved ones. On Monday, De- cember 21, a wonderful event took place-the annual Christmas Ball. It was held at the luxurious Irvine Hilton. The brisk cold air created an atmosphere of winter putting everyone in the spirit of the occa- sion. The hotel was great! It was a nice ride and very convenient, stated senior Tammy Cox. Many couples considered this evening the highlight of their Christmas holidays. Groups of friends were seen huddled togeth- er talking, laughing and enjoying each others company. I had the time of my life. My friends, our dates and I got along great. We found ourselves laughing and dancing all night long, senior An- gelique Moran stated.

Some impatient peo- ple expressed the wish to forget the picture taking and get-down with the music. Remembering, however, that pictures would be memories of the night, they reluc- tantly continued their wait vow- ing that the next time they would get in line early.

Christmas Ball 39 Festivities dad Attention To Sports The second annual Winter Homecoming remained as popular as it did in its first year. lt's main purpose was to draw attention to the winter sports: wrestling, soc- cer, and basketball. Indeed, with the success of the Boys Varsity Basketball team, the Winter Homecoming game was a well at- tended event. The Winter Homecoming ac- tivities were similiar to those of the Fall Homecoming celebration. The activities consisted of voting for the court, honoring winter sports at a rally, and finally at- tending the basketball game and the dance which followed it. Sen- ior Marti Hoye, who was in charge of the activities, spent weeks be- fore the event in preparation. The final outcome was a credit to her dedication and hard work. The varsity basketball game against Saint Bernard as well as the dance following the game were the highlights of the celebration. It was an exciting evening which began with a close victory of 75-74 over Saint Bernards. At half time the Homecoming Court was intro- duced, but the crowning of the king and queen occurred at the dance. During the Homecoming dance, Mr. Randy Dimmitt introduced the court and enumerated their individual interests and ambi- tions. He also mentioned their fa- vorite passtimes. He then an- nounced the Homecoming queen and king as seniors Matilde Me- dina and Terrance Lamb. The homecoming ceremonies were a lasting impression for sen- iors. In fact, court prince, senior Grayson Kline stated, Being cho- sen for the court added a great memory to my senior year.

It was also time for feelings of uncertainty and anxiousness. Were you ever going to get up the nerve to ask? If you did, was he going to say yes? These questions wandered in the minds of many girls for weeks prior to the dance. Once the girls did get around to asking for a date, they had a chance to get to know him better while shopping together for matching shirts. It was tradition for couples to wear the same outfit to the dance. This gave them a chance to talk and get to know one another before they arrived at the dance. Junior Lucy Palomanes stated, We almost had as much fun shopping as we did at the dance. Behind the scenes preparation i . . went into the creation of a success- ful evening. The A.S.B. officers and the rest of the Student Coun-- cil had the difficult task of plan- ning the event. They put in hard work and gave of their time and ideas. Their hard work ensured a fun evening for all. After the plan- ning was finished, they had the task of hiring a disk jockey who could play a variety of music. Three special activities were planned for the Sadie Hawkins. Two giant video screens were fea- tured so people could watch vid- eos while dancing. A fake jail was set up and friends could hire guards to place couples in the cell for a certain amount of time. The most popular activity of the even- ing was the Chapel of Enchant- mentv. Couples exchanged make- believe vows and received a make- i i 4 believe marriage certificate. The evening was filled with many activities which helped to ease the strain of a first date. The uncertainty of what couples should talk about and what, if anything, would come of a rela- tionship was still a reality. This Sadie Hawkins dance, however, didnlt give anyone a chance to be bored. Couples werenit the only people to have a good time. Those who chose to go alone enjoyed them- selves as well. They spent time talking with friends and dancing. All in all, the dance was an op- portunity for an original evening for couples and singles alike. It was a chance to renew old friend- ships and welcome new ones. The Sadie Hawkins dance was in fact, the perfect kick-off to the Valen- tine's Day celebration.

Sadie Hawkins 43 Balloons 64,fwte Hearts On the night of Wednesday, February 10, 55 juniors and seven seniors arrived at the gymnasium to begin the long process of pre- paring approximately 12,000 bal- loons to capture the hearts of loved ones and friends as a part of the Valentine's Day celebration. The long awaited activities got off to a start at approximately 11:00 p.m. when junior class modera- tors, Miss Teri Velasco and Mr. Randy Dimmitt called the work- ers together for a quick briefing of the coming night's events. Under the instruction of senior Rodney Injarusorn, everyone pitched in and gave their all. t'Compared to last year, it was very well orga- nized. Everyone was great and co- operated to make it an outstand- ing success, commented Rodney. Radios blasted and the follow- ing hours were spent inflating the mylar balloons. It was hard work blowing up balloons at first be- cause they kept popping. lt was frustrating when a balloon would float up to the ceiling, com- plained junior worker, Jackie Zuro. At approximately 1:00 a.m., Miss Velasco and Mr. Dimmitt called everyone to assemble. The next three hours were to be spent at leisure. The movie Summer School was shown in the weight room. Outside, some played bas- ketball, volleyball, or cards, while others continued blasting the ra- dio, eating eight foot long sand- wiches and talking, or just plain sleeping. Junior Joey Hammond replied, After the work was com- pleted, everyone was lounging around or sleeping. People were tired and wished they were home in bed. At 4:00 a.m., the work began again and continued until day- light when the first early bird stu- dents arrived at school. By 7:00 a.m., just about everyone was ready to meet Rocky's truck for a quick breakfast. Fingers were cal- loused from endlessly tying bal- loons, legs and feet were sore from being used all night, eyelids were only half open, and people had headaches from inhaling too much rf gif , i , A 'sl-Kfyuu: A S helium. Still, the whole crew pushed on and the job was almost completed by 7:35 a.m. when, without warning, a 5.0 earth- quake, an aftershock of the Octo- ber first quake, rocked the rain- bow colored gym, causing panic once again among the students. Within seconds, the gym floor was cleared of students who dropped under tables. The earth- quake was exciting and certainly changed the atmosphere. I have never seen sleepy people move so quickly, observed junior Mer- edith Rooney. Although it wasn't all work, it was not all easy either. After the entire night's events, the workers couldn't wait to hit a nice, soft bed and pillow. Miss Velasco summed it up by saying, The junior class worked wonderfully. The event was great fun and a tremendous success. As in past years, the ju- niors agreed that the tradition should continue not only for the monetary success, but for the com- radery and entertainment of those who volunteered to work. 44 Student Lite Students work vigorously amidst the bal- loon-filled alcove. By daybreak, more than 12,000 balloons filled the gym. Painstakingly tying a ribbon to a balloon, junior Joe Roybal daydreams of a com- fortable bed. The simple job seemed more and more complex as fingers tired. Tying the mylars to rows of chairs was done by juniors Raquel LoVetere and Jes- se Ponce. The balloons were catagorized to help with easier distribution. KW f'w:i Vgffrf? 5 7? Mr. Randy Dimmitt and Miss Teri Velasco separate Valentine messages.

It has presented loved ones the opportunity to ex- press their appreciation and affec- tion toward one another. This special celebration has also been a tradition for many years. Principal Mr. Merritt Hemenway reported, The Valentine's Day celebration began in 1972 with a carnation sale. The juniors needed a way to alleviate some of the prom expenses, and they came up with this idea. It was such a suc- cess that junior classes made it a tradition. Up until 1985 carna- tions were sold along with a spe- cial message to friends. Because of the rising cost of flowers four years ago, the idea of a balloon sale was initiated. In order to make the day more pleasant for everyone, the admin- istration approved an all after- noon field day for students and faculty to relax and get to know each other under a casual atmo- sphere. Sophomore Eryn Asbra commented, The day was really inspirational because we were en- couraged to think about other peo- ple and not just ourselves when writing out messages for the bal- loonsf, Unfortunately not every- one received a balloon. Junior Marilou Karganilla observed, It was sad to see people without any balloons. The junior class moderators, Mr. Randy Dimmitt and Miss Teri Velasco, planned activities for the afternoon. A disc jockey provided music for the students to dance. Senior Theresa Buenca- mino stated, My friends and I had fun dancing. The more people that came out, the better it Was. The annual Senior-Faculty Vol- leyball game was also scheduled for entertainment. This event en- abled some friendly competition between the seniors and faculty. The faculty proved that they did get better with age with a two games to one win over the seniors. Some students rallied up their friends for a basketball game, while others just enjoyed a long lunch. It was a colorful day on campus. Red, blue, green, yellow, purple, and pink bouquets of balloons were floating in the air. Smiling faces shined brightly, and laugh- ter echoed in the air. Senior Char- lene Gomez declared, All in all it was a fun day. The time I spent with my friends really made me feel good about myself and them. No matter how they felt about the day, the students all agreed that it was better than being in class. Preparing to serve the volleyball, senior Eddie Yerkish concentrates on his aim. Providing healthy competition between students and teachers, the Senior-Faculty Volleyball game has become an annual event. Absorbing a thoughtful message from a friend, junior Denise Sandoval gives a warm smile as her classmate Sylvia Santi- lices looks on. The messages received of- ten made the students reflect on the thoughtfulness of their friends.

That was the question for seniors Rigo Arellano, Analisa Moreno, Stephon Pace, and Tina Rios. When informed of having received the most votes in the senior favorite catagories of Most Athletic and Most Talkative, these four were really surprised. Stephon Pace and Analisa Moreno have been involved in sports all of their lives. Stephon participated in the school's basket- ball and football teams all four years. As expressed by Stephon, It was an honor to have been chosen most athletic in a school with so many people who really excel in their sport. Analisa Moreno has always loved the fun and exercise involved in par- ticipating in sports. Having lettered in vol- leyball and softball, as well as having been a member of the soccer and basketball teams, sports has provided her with an interesting outlook toward the future. Participating in a team sport really helps in life. In working with a team, you learn how to work with the many different personalities. When you get out into the real world, you'll be able to better cope with other people, stated An- alisa. Participating in sports also gave her a chance to show the caliber and talent of Bishop Amat students. Rigo Arellano and Tina Rios did an excel- lent job in proving the old theory that talk- ing is the best form of communication. They both saw the title of Most Talkative as being friendly and easy going. Rigo, talk- ative since childhood, felt, Ever since I was young, it seemed like no one ever listened to me, so I talked loud. For Tina it was a different story. Outgoing as a child, she claims that she had a tendency to be super loud, always wanting to be heard. A habit kept from childhood, Tina admitted that now, I love to talk. Everyone is always tell- ing me to be quiet. For the athletes and the talkers, being voted for these categories definitely aroused feelings of happiness. In a school with so many people as well as with such a diversity of people, it was great to be recognized.

' Seniors 79 Juniors Show Togetherness The Class of '89 found a new respon- sibility awaiting them. Their two pre- vious years prepared them for the rigors of a more challenging learning period. After all, the difficulties of the previous years were now under their belts. It was their turn to contribute to the institu- tion that had helped nurture their lead- ership abilities. The Class of '89 was led by the talents of Shauna.Bruner, the presidentg Julie Selvaggio, the vice- presidentg Meredith Rooney, the secre- tary, and James Thomas the treasurer. These four individuals embodied the enthusiasm of the class. With the Class of '89, they showed everyone what be- ing juniors was all about. The officers never let up on their spirit and determination, and they had a great class backing them up. About Miss Teresa Velasco shows her enthusiasm for the Class of '89, As the other moderator for the junior class, she helped them reach their goals. The junior class officers show their style. Shauna Bruner, James Thomas, Meredith Rooney, and Julie Selvaggio posed for the camera in front ofa modified Ford Thunderbird. Pep Week, Secretary Meredith Rooney stated, The work parties were really tiring, but we had a lot of help from everyone. The junior officers also re- ceived much support from their enthu- siastic moderators, Mr. Randy Dimmit and Miss Teresa Velasco. Working to- gether, they were able to achieve their goals. The first thing they set out to do was to have a successful Pep Week. Coming in second place, they certainly were serious contenders for the seniors! The next major activity was the Bal- loon Sale. With this successful fun- draiser, the junior class officers moved to even bigger and better things-name ly, the Prom. The Class of '89, with their dedicated officers, came through once again for a terrific year of spirit and togetherness. Mr, Randy Dirnmit iuggles his time between being a history teacher and junior class moderator. l-le offered much excitement to the class officers' plans. . li rf? U s CE : ' ' 5: -.:. .

They were now nexperiencedv juniors. Just think, the Class of '89 was just a group of semi-aware sophomores a year ago. A year before that they were unaivei' freshmen, As more mature individuals, juniors were inclined to participate in more school activities. They also felt that Bishop Amat served as a home away from homelu. When one reaches the junior year, school becomes more than a house of torture . It is more of a place where friends can get together. This is something lowerclassmen can- not experience. One must saturate the 'Ni' Walking together to class are juniors Sara Guz- man and Richard Thomas. The couple was com- monly seen with each other during the year. Taking advantage of lunchtime to finish their homework, Juniors Nancy Duhart and Yvette Barraza do some cramming, This was a year for growing friendships as well as studies. influence before being a real part of the spirit. Over the years, students grew in a close, family environment. Among their experiences, they remembered hugs from Father Cremins, guidance from teachers and parents, and encourage- ment from fellow friends. When stu- dents leave after graduation, they will remember the happy times, even though troubles did exist. They often had to fight their way through hal14 ways, wait in long lunchlines, and suf- fer through difficult tests and horne- work assignments. But with much sup- port, the Class of '89 made their way through the junior year. For each student, school had a differ ent meaning. After all, no one has th: same tastes. Whether it be those long hours of practice, chatting with friends sitting in a classroom, or cheering at the games, juniors expressed different feel ings about school. Although attitude: varied, they all stressed the importance of togetherness. When asked What does Bishop Amat mean to you'?'l she Stacy Couzens responded friendship family, and tradition? This responsf summed up the importance of the learning establishment to the pupils. Ir their own answers, they expressed the feeling of security meant to be enjoyec by all. llllllll .ar . fs 2 2 l I l iir. i 1. gel s : . it ess f-... ss 2 w F A 1 eee Stephen Borgo ' . i T- . ' ....

Are you one of those lucky indivi- duals who has the ability to hold a part- time job AND maintain a decent G.P.A.? Good luck! And you thought school-work was too much to bear? Hal It's the junior year. We're sixteen. We want cars, we want independence, and we want MGNEY! Let's face it, it all comes down to cash. Some of us are lucky to make more than minimum - wage, but for the rest of us, that's the breaks! All we can do is hope that when that paycheck comes along it makes it all worthwhile. Just a taste of the REAL world, eh? After a busy day at school, junior Claudine Ma- lana helps a customer at Swensens lce Cream Parlor.

Jackie Watts stated, Driving gives me a feel- ing of independence. I can go out to the places where I need to be by myself. But, along with the advantages of driv- ing came the disadvantages. The major- ity of junior drivers realized that the biggest disadvantages were coming up with the money for gas and carpools.

No longer did they have to face going through another ago- nizing day of being known as just an- other sophomore. Having reached up- perclassmanship, they now ranked among the elite and priviledged few. No longer were they caught in the middle like the sophomores were. They were now recognized as upperclassmen which brought them many priviledges and opportunities. Being a junior suddenly meant hav- ing so much more independence. They had more freedom of choice in choosing their classes and the opportunity to be- come commissioners of dance, public information, pep, activities, academics, athletics, clubs, or religious affairs. However, most importantly, by then most of the juniors were driving. This meant getting that job out in L.A., not having to miss another one of those mandatory club meetings because of a carpool, no longer having to wait for mom or dad to pick them up in the family station wagon, and best of all, convieniently never being home. As de- fended by Kerry Davidson, Hey, we need to learn early if we're going to make it out there in that big, cruel worldf' Having that much more inde- pendence also meant suddenly having to have priorities and having to put them into perspective. Revealed by Ma- ria Valencia after a long day at school and a hard night at work, Between having a job, trying to excell in school, and getting involved, it often seemed impossible to handle. There just wer- enit enough hours in a dayln -f , Juniors were now starting to take an interest in colleges, so all of a sudden grades took on more meaning than be- ing just letters of the alphabet. Scholar- ships also provided motivation to go that extra mile and push themselves a little harder. Along with the grades having become more important, the class as a whole had more responsibil- ities. After all, they were the ones who sponsored the Junior-Senior Prom as well as the Valentineis Day all-nighter, Where juniors diligently filled up bal- loons with helium in preparation for the delivery to the various sweet- heartsv the next day. That helped to bring down the cost of the bid for the J unior-Senior Prom. What would Bish- op Arnat do without the Class of 1989? Juniors Stephanie Vital and Shannon Walters share different drinks at lunch. As upperclass people, they finally got to have second lunch. Searching for books for her project is junior Feli- cia Seamans.

Gonna party 'til you drop? Or how I about alittle get-together at the beach? Maybe you're going to blow last month's pay at the mall getting a new wardrobe? Or are you one of those peo- ple who actually does their homework over the weekend? fGod forbidll Well, I juniors, speak out! Let's hear your weekend plans .. . Everyone likes a party, but some peo- n ple really take it seriously. Class Trea- I surer James Thomas explains, The reason me and the fellow Woody Bros are so laid back over the week is that we gotta save our energy for really massive parties when the weekend comes . . Y' fBy the way, a Woody is a classic station wagon with wooden panels made by Chevrolet and is seen in Jim- ' my'Z ads and certain Gidget episodesj Other people enjoy more passive pur- suits. They spend their time not party- ing but instead do something they're REALLY good at e- Shopping! The reason for this, says Claudine Malaria, is that Shopping is really very relaxing for ine, you know? lt's like, Cllramatic Pausel no matter how much pain a week of school causes, itls nothing a few ' hours of heavy shopping can't take away? Some, however, find other ways of blowing off accumulated weekday , steam. Says Leslie Rockenbach, t'Well, I like to lift weights for a while, and then take my all-terrain bicycle off road I riding for a few hours. After THAT I start on the HARD STUFF . , . On the more erudite side of life, some spend their weekends more thoughtful- ly. Intellectual Matthew Lu says, Cur- rently I spend my Saturdays at the California Institute of Technology where I am enrolled in a genetic science course.

The gleam of the precious metal, the deep glow of the inlaid stone - what exactly did the ring signify? For start- ers, it was a sign of having had survived two years of high school. Juniors were now more than ready to take the privi- Iiges that came with the upperclassman years, and what better way of indicating this than wearing an eye-catching class ring. Its value lay not only in its beauty but the ring also was a symbol of the first step to the coveted position of se- niority. The owners all agreed that the rings were a rememberance of high school years and for those special times to- gether with one's friends. Just looking at it made me look forward to gradu- ation, said Charmaine Tan, lt made me proud of my school? The rings were costly, however. The average price for one was 55225, yet most felt it was worth it because it was the memories that were priceless. Wendy Phillips stated, The class ring was as equally impor- tant as the school yearbook. Not only was it a lasting remembrance but it was a possession that could be passed on to my children. Dwayne Finlay proudly displayed his ring as he eloquently summed it up, The ring served as a reminder of the times of happiness and frustration we have all experienced which made our high school years so important. Ring Around The Future Male and female hands compliment each other well. The classic petite style on the girl was actu- I ally more expensive than the new Heritage style of the boy's hand. The Her Classic ring style looks distinguished, yet feminine. No matter what type of metal students could afford these heirlooms always turned out nice.

Many juniors had possible answers to this question. When asked, some want- ed to fufill high ambitions - being an actor or actress was the most often stat- ed response. Others chose less glamor- ous, yet no less rewarding occupations. Careers such as accounting, law, medi- cine, or engineering were common among the hopes of students. These re- plies summed up the aspirations of the Class of '89. Although the answers were varied, they all had one thing in com- mon - the hope for a better life. These perspective leaders of the world had tremendous interest in the future. This was surprising since most juniors had a carefree attitude toward life in general. It was good to see former dependant children develop a sense of responsibility. A couple of years ago, this may not have been the case, Many freshmen and sophomores did not give the subject much thought. Juniors, however replied that 'tT:ime was mov- ing too fast to just sit there. If adult- hood was coming soon, the Class of '89 decided to be ready for it. Now was the time to make a difference in the game of Life. 94 Students Mr. Randy Dimrnit instructs Joe Hammond on the finer points of attaching battery cable jump- ers, and perhaps started a star mechanic in the process. lt was help such as this which gave students a taste of what it would be like as a worker in the private sector. Sophomores Struggle To Get Ahead Sophomore year had to be, by far,the toughest year for all concerned. Things seemed to get more difficult. As ex- plained by sophomore class officer Chris Tomooko, Teachers required more work, and we didn't have the easy P.E. class. It was a time of adjustment in all aspects of student life. The sophomore class officers had a rough start due to their lack of exper- ience. Su Oh, Nola Magno, Chris To- mooko, and Carmela Tan found out first hand what the difficulties were in holding such positions. They never re- alized how hard it was to motivate a class or to earn a place on Student Council. l l l Sr. Marie Therese, presently the sophomore class moderator, has been the backbone for the class the last four years. Sophomore class officers vice president Chris Tomooka, president Su Oh, treasurer Carmela Tan, and secretary Nola lvlagno tried their har- dest to lead the class and make them as spirited as possible. 96 Students The class was filled with many peo- ple who wanted to make the year a bet- ter one. One person was sophomore Ma- rie Fontana. She was a good student, athlete, and all-around spirited young lady. She was a player on the varsity soccer and volleyball team. She knew how to budget her time between activi- ties and school work. Carmela Tan ex- pressed her feelings about sophomore year in the following poem: Days of adjustment are now gone, It's our second year in high school, time to move on Somewhat older, almost upperclassmen Finally beyond, being little freshmen If it's spirit you want, it's what you've got Achievements we have, losers we're not When we get started, everyone better watch out For we give our best, the sky is the limit You'll see in the end, we're sure to succeed That's our destiny, we were born to lead.

She hoped that turning sixteen woutcf mean getting to drive and going out with her friends more. Are Linked . The long awaited sixteenth birthday was finally just around the corner, Most sophomores were very anxious to reach this magical age. But what did reaching the age of sixteen mean? For many, the sixteenth birthday meant being the le- gal age for obtaining a driver's license in the state of California. All the time con- suming preparation for driving was at iast put to the test, most often at the West Covina branch of the Department of Motor Vehicles. Successful appli- cants rejoiced with a first time, without parent, in passenger seat drive. A lucky few even received a car- sometimes used and sometimes new. This perhaps meant rounding up a car- pool of fellow underclassrnen. Sopho- mores with cars subsequently had to learn how to parallel park because no on-campus parking was assigned to them due to the shortage of spaces. An extended curfew was a much ap- preciated fact of reaching this age. Some sixteen year olds graduated to the 12 o'c1ock time slot for returning home from a night out at a party or the mov- ies. Parents also imposed fewer restric- tions for going out with friends. It meant more freedom and indepen- dence. Some sixteen year olds got their first real jobs. Babysitting and yardwork no longer remained the only ways to earn money. They began to gain exper- ience in dealing with superiors other than their parents and teachers. A It was hard to tell if the dream of finding the right boyfriend or girlfriend became reality. This was perhaps the most elusive of the sixteenth year ex- pectation. Because parents considered sixteen to be the appropriate dating age, some sopohomores reached sweet sixteen without ever having been kissed. Ultimately, turning sixteen meant acquiring new liberties, yet also accept- ing the responsibilities of growing up.

There were a few things that they needed to do before they could get their driver's license. Many students enlisted in the Driver's Education class so they could receive their proof of completion. The road work, however, was not that easy. Through a series of after school classes, the students had to first learn to build a firm foundation of knowl- edge, attitude, and skills for safe driv- ing. These points were taught through various discussions, readings, and eye- opening films. At the end of many hours of listening and studying, they then took a final exam which tested them on laws and courtesies. They were now on their way to becoming part of a new generation of safe drivers. How- ever, this was only the first stop on the road to getting that driver's license. Students in the Drivers Ed class put their full concentration into to their work determined to get their certificate of proof of completion. I I 7 iz .

Most everyone has had this phrase di- rected toward them at one time or an- other during their high school years - some more than others. The question is what made us space out' during that occasional lecture or presentation? A few sophomores speculated on the cause. Lagundee Williams felt that weather and environment had some- thing to do with his concentration. This held true for many people, yet, some- times it was impossible to pin down the reason minds wandered. Many times dreaming is used to get away from a hectic day. The only problem was that sometimes embarrassment resulted. After all, the teachers had probably spent more time preparing for class than we had. No matter what the cause, daydream- ing Was a fact 'of life. The best thing to do in order to prevent this would have been to get enough sleep and put all effort into that fabulous lecture. It's amazing to see the great many rewards that come from actually listening. Sophomores 103 Taking Time Out For Fun I The second year of high school was an awkward time for most teenagers. What did they do with their time after school? They were no longer pups nor were they upperclassmen yet. The time spent after school was as impor- tant to them as what they did in school. Having taken a closer look at after- school activities, sophomores realized one element was important to them - that was the two F's Cfun and friendsl. Many sophomores spent their weekend I hanging out with friends at football games and movies. Malls, such as Puente Hills or West Covina Fashion Plaza were major attractions. During the week, some sophomores were involved in sports, band, and Christian Service. Some just took the bus home and did homework. To oth' ers, days seemed ordinary, but for a sophomore, times were very special. According to sophomore Mei-Ling Krebshach, There wasn't much we could do except the regular afterschool activities. We couldn't drive, yet, so we A group of sophomore girls huddle up for a pic- ture at a football game.

Her reaction was basically shared by most of the sophomore class. She did have a few parting words for us and they were, 'iWhen my friends were there, we had a great time doing anything. It doesn't matter if it was a football game, a trip to the mall, or a visit over at a friend's house. Friends were what made the times fun?

After facing the trials ofthe rain, students sought shelter in classes before the final bell. Each year as fall approaches, people look forward to cooler temperatures. Along with the cooler temperatures comes dark, stormy skies and the possi- bility of rain. Since we live in Southern Californa, we don't experience a drastic change of season, so many people wel- come the rain. It is a time to build a warm, cozy fire or bundle up in layer after layer of clothing. Others claim that cooler Weather and rain brings about a feeling of melancholy. Students faced many dilemmas when the rain began to fall. Some sought shelter in the halls which, in turn, caused overcrowding. At lunch, they re- mained in the classroom for warmth and dryness. After school, they ran to the bus stop in hopes of getting there without becoming drenched. Most peo- ple liked rain nevertheless. Sophomore Jennifer Bourgeois explained I like the rain, but I don't like to go to school in it because Fm afraid I might slip and fallf' Everybody had their own opinion concerning rain, but without it the weather would definitely become mo- notonous. 1 ff, -x ' J' f H, ,, f , ,V ,,,.,... , 1 ,,.., ., I , I. iiii . -, H lr iii - ,'lt r ',ii f 'iii H 2 ,.' if so . .o p .. g ga mi 'l ' rt i l 1 r, i i f i glii . l , i V , , Kellie Reagan V, .

Bum It Sophomore year was a difficult year for most people. Although they were socially active, most sophomores were I not legally able to drive. As a result, sophomores developed the art of bum- ming rides. Who fell prey to these des- perate ride seekers depended on the in- dividual and the event they wished to attend. Some people were happy to be chauffered by mom or dad to and from school or the mall, but preffered death to being dropped off at and picked up from a party by these same drivers. Most people had a variety of options open to them when looking for a ride. These options included: a boyfriend or girlfriend who already drove, an older brother or sister, a school carpool driver who also took them to games and dances, a friend that drove, or parental carpools, although many were embar- assed to admit to the last. An example of the situation faced by sophomores was seen through Jennifer - Uhrban. She was driven to and from school by a senior, and was frequently I forced to wait after school until the driver was ready to leave. However, Jennifer's luck improved on the week- ends because she happened to have a , boyfriend who drove. As a. result she had a ride to most weekend functions. , When her boyfriend did not drive, Jen- nifer relied on her mother to drive or organized with her friends for their poarents to carpool. Although relying on others was inconvenient, Jennifer, like most sophomores, realized that it would not be like this forever and ea- gerly awaited her sixteenth birthday. 108 Students MIX' t+ai ' is i f 41 : 2' w it ft' Tirf .

They were sophomores and no longer the new kids on the block . They knew the routine and naturally assumed that they fit into the mold of an experienced student. What did it feel like to be a sophomore? In the words of Alicia Wal- lace, when asked this question, You feel more superior at school, and every- thing you do doesn't make you feel fool- ish. When they became sophomores, things began to fall into order of impor- tance. Grades actually counted for col- lege and social life became more impor- tant. This was a time when it was hard to keep going strong, because most felt like high school was never going to end. Sophomores were granted more op- portunities to participate in activities. Being admitted into either the Califor- nia Scholarship Federation or the Na- tional Honor Society was a goal to strive for in terms of academic achieve- ments. They also had the opportunity to go to the Christmas Ball. For some, this may have been their first formal dance or their first date. Now that they had become sopho- mores, respect was in order. Last year, they were made fun of and mocked or called a puppy by the seniors. This year could have been one of the best years spent at Bishop Amat, depending on how much effort was put into mak- ing it that way, especially if it was kept in mind that there were only two years of high school left, and even better, next year they could look forward to being upperclassmen. Sophomore Joseph Pruszynski shows his class spirit by dressing for sports day during Pep Week. Moving up a year meant dressing up and not being embarrassed about it. A Biology 10 class vigorously works during a study period. Sophomore year was a time for getting serious about grades.

Whether it was realized or not, high school was the start of a new life. Preparation for college began in hopes of someday hav- ing a successful career. A freshman may not have been thinking of which college they would like to attend or what their future career decisions were, but the time to make these decisions were clos- er than they would have expected. The first year of high school was probably the most memorable of the four. The environment of a high school campus took some effort to adjust to. On rainy days, crowded halls were an experience in their own right. Seniors tried to sell free passes to the swim- ming pool . Unfortunately, there were some naive freshmen who spent their lunch money for something they real- ized, after many months of searching, was worthless. After an experience such as this, these freshmen faced their de- feat and accepted their position as the low man on the totem pole . Of course, there were some enjoyable aspects of the freshman year. Exper- iences, ten years frorn now, will be looked back on with amusement. Get- ting braces off, the first date, receiving an ASB card, experiencing an Amat football game, and walking into the wrong classroom and hearing upper- classmen yell FRESHMAN! were just a few of the memorable moments of freshman year. After the first day of school, life as a freshman could have seemed rather de- vasting. Among the class, thereexisted four very enthusiastic, optimistic, and determined young ladies, Lisa Delphin, Monica Gonzalez, Emily Gonzales, and Pam Hoff, the freshman officers. Secre- tary Emily Gonzales exclaimed, Our freshman year was the beginning of a true Bishop Arnat life. By working to- gether, we made a terrific start! The class had qualities unique to themselves that created a sort of per- sonality . Class moderator, Patti Groff commented, This was another enthu- siastic freshman class and they showed a great deal of enthusizsm and spirit. How did these girls build the confi- dence and courage necessary to run for office? Vice president Monica Gonzalez smiled and said, I ran for office be- cause of the experience and challenge. I wanted to be an important part of the freshman class? Freshman class moderator: Miss Patti Groff.

As always there were some lucky freshmen who had older brothers or sisters who al- ready attended school. Having this ad- vantage made settling in school a little easier for them. The things that helped these new students most were the little things. Older brothers and sisters gave pointers on things that could make the year more survivable, like information on past teachers, what deans really check for dress code, and ways to do home- work. Freshman Kristie Bubbert stat- ed, My sister, Theresa, pointed out to me where my classes were so I wouldn't get lost. These freshmen were also more com- fortable than most because they knew more people. Instead of feeling alone Sitting alongside his big sister, senior Dana Ruiz, freshman Bryan Ruiz rests for a few' minutes. Both Dana and Brian's cheerful personalities have left a great impression on friends and ac- quaintances. 1111 Students and isolated, they were greeted by a few familiar faces in the sea of strangers that filled the hallways. They also could depend on someone other than the bus to get them back and forth from school activities. Having a real edge over the other stu- dents, they had people in which to con- fide who had already gone through the same difficult experiences. Unlike most incoming freshmen, they were not en- tering a foreign place where they felt they did not belong. An older brother or sister in school did not always prove to be a positive thing. There were some incoming fresh- men who experienced drawbacks in having a sibling already at school. For those whose brother or sister was an achiever, they found out the hard way that living up to their brother's or sis- ter's reputation was not that easy. Freshman Jessica Ramirez explained, When teachers found out I had an older sister, they compared us too muchf' No matter how these people viewed their situation, they had to admit that it made them feel like they were a part of a family tradition. Many parents have put all of their children through Bishop Amat. Some examples of these families are the Szalonek's, the Beck's, the Bachmarfs, and the Beruman's. These special freshmen came to realize the touch of a family throughout the course of the year. They were able to strengthen their ties and bring an even greater meaning to the phrase Amat Family. Anthony Chairez Jennifer Ciridon Kathleen Coleman Rosa Contreras Tim Courternarche Kimberly Couzens Genevieve David Procrastination Leads To Deterioration Many freshmen received their first long term high school assignment very early in the year in the form of their first quarter project. When it came to the question of whether or not to start working on it, the most popular reach tion was Why should I work on it now? I got lots of tirneln Little did they know that the time would sneak up on them just as it has for most every student before them. The result was an intense effort to finish several hours of work the night before, or in many cases, the morning of the due date. The typical I'll do it later student finished at about four in the morning. Others worked on it frantically during other class periods. Of course, there were those who simply gave up. For those who actually, completed the project, however, their effort definitely de- served applause. After all, the student did complete the work even if he or she was under tremendous pressure. Yet, this cramrning defied common sense since it put unnecessary strain on the mind as well as the nervous stystern. The effects of the marathon effort of night before oramming upon the stu- dent were evident. Movement was often slow and sluggish, they often suffered from a loss of coordination and balance, ugly black rings formed around the eyes, and an appearance in yesterdays clothes with hair resembling a mop. In other words, they were DEAD. It was a mystery why so many fresh- men continued to go through this obvis ous physical torture. There was a gener- al attitude that it was a necessary part of high school life, To an extent, it was true. Just like all the other classes, the freshmen had many of the characteris- tics of full time procrastinators: Waiting 5 minutes before a test to study, writing a full length essay on the history of mankind during lunch, and pulling out the old Cliff Notes when asked to read and interpret Julius Caesar by Shakespeare. a When asked why they procrastinat- ed, the answer was simple, Why not'??, Kari Gordon replied I don't wantto do my work right then and there, I have better things to do, That may aloe, but when the deadline came along the peof ple who didrit look like daytime zom4 isles were the ones who didn't wait till the last minute. L The Cliffs Notes was a very vafoalole tool for the freshman class when it came to studying for the test on the novel you never read. Not keeping up with a novel meant resorting to the use oft ready summaries.

That seemed to be the consensus of the fresh- man class. The class could be easily spotted because it had the largest num- ber of metallic smiles. 1 Freshmen not only had to deal with . the reactions to food in their teeth, irri- tated gums, and aching mouths, but 'could not even complain to their par- ents about these annoyances. Com- plaints only prompted parents to give lectures on how kids are so unapprecia- tive these days. Maybe parents did have justifiable cause to respond in anger, however. Two to three years of work by an orthodontist cost roughly, 53,000.00 A visit to the orthodontist perhaps meant missing one or two periods . itt,,,, Cthree, if the student wasted timel. Al- though missing part of the school day may have sounded like a good idea, missing a math tst was not worth the pain. After getting their braces tight- ened, some freshmen couldn't eat sub- stantial food for days. The troublesome headgear and rub- ber bands could not be forgotten. Many embarrassing moments occurred when a freshman was talking to an upper- classman and a rubber band shot out, hitting him or her in the face. Headgear gave parents something else to nag freshmen about. Frequently, they lied to their parents and orthodontists about their headgear. They assured their parents and orthodontists that they wore it for the allotted amount of time each day, even though it was not true. Not even the cliche, Smiling Faces Wear Bracesn, could convince a fresh- man that braces would eventually im- prove his or her appearance. For the time being, braces had the sole function of collecting excess food. The foods most commonly avoided by freshmen with braces were corn-on-the-cob, car- rots, apples, and sticky candy. J Freshmen envied their friends who were blessed with naturally perfect teeth. Why was it that only some lucky individuals were not forced to sustain the woes of undergoing orthodontia? Students without braces did not have to suffer the discomforts of being the butt of distasteful railroad track jokes. They were never vulnerable to an os- tensibly sadistic orthodontist assistant. Not surprisingly, a freshman did not want to have braces in common with his or her peers. Despite having toface the hardships associated with wearing braces, fresh- men did have visions of straight, beau- tiful teeth. Freshman Veronica Car- denas said, 'LI also look forward to not having to go through the hassle of going to appointments and dealing with the pain. It is possible to survive the perils of orthodontia and there were hundreds of living juniors and seniors with healthy mouths to prove it. Freshman Veronica Cardenas obtains a blue slip after a visit to the orthodontist. She and other freshmen with braces sometimes had to miss class in order to keep an appointment.

' - Talk The Day Away Everyone knows that students of all ages love to talk. The Class of '91 was no exception. Even though teachers did not appreciate students talking in class, they realized that it was an important part of high school social life. From the first day of school, all freshmen wanted to make a good impression. Starting a conversation seemed to be the best way to do it. A common problem among freshmen was trying to make new friends. How did they overcome it? Freshman Paul Gonzales, exclaimed, Oh, girls, girls, girls!! Also parties on the weekend, and we talk about our favorite hangout place, the Dugout! Guys seemed to feel that each and every one of these topics was important to their social status. The girls found other things to dis- WM i .., . , L .ir ..,. cuss which were of equal importance. When asked what she liked to talk about with her friends, freshman Ann Sandoval replied, Oh, everything. I talk it over with them if lim mad about something, and we always gossip about guys. At night I might call someone about homework if lim having prob- lems with it. Girls more than guys like to talk about their favorite teachers and classes. However, they all agreed that the most popular topic of conversation on everyone's lips was their favorite music groups and concerts. Music, dress, and a person's overall image was very important to all of them. Ultimately, the freshman class really tried hard not to make themselves sound conspicuous. This goal was root- ed in the firm belief that they were just as good as anyone else. What do you mean 'Freshman Vocabulary'? We talk just like everyone else, Alexis Savko stated vehemently. With a bit of effort they certainly proved that to be true. At lunch, freshman Norma Sierra and Kim Cou- zens laugh about their latest social blunder. One of the many things friends liked to talk about was the funny situations they got themselves into.

Simply the basics: eat- ing, socializing, and finishing up homes work, and avoiding the Seagulls. Freshmen learned the art of pushing and shoving their way to the vending machines as well as the Virtue of pa- tience by Waiting in Rocky's neverend- ing line at the lunchtruck. Freshman Mary Pat Szalonek commented, I think lunch is too short. I don't have enough time to eat. Nevertheless, from BLT's to Doritos to M8rM's,, lunch was definitely a time to indulge. As new students, it was very impor- tant that freshmen meet people and make new friends, This was probably the most popular activity during lunch- time. Freshman Aaron Diaz comment- ed, We talk with friends, and walk A cool 7-UP ends freshmen Alex Gutierrefs lunch. By popular demand, an extra five minutes was ,added to lunchtime. 122 Students around checking out the girlsf' Socializ- ing was certainly a necessary factor in school life. It was an opportune time to relax and become closer to friends as well as :make new ones. Freshman Rosa Guzman added, 'CI go look for my friends and we go around scamming on guys. Lunch period is exciting because it's a time to have fun with friendsfi lu some cases, lunchtime was a time to finish upthat homework assignment or quarter project due fifth, sixth, or seventh period. Some even used lunch- time to finish homework assignedearli- er in the day in the hopes of lessening the load of books to carry home atthe end ofthe day. v ,L J t V L Although the seagullproblemrhad al-J most entirely been eliminated, the school still had a small flock ,loitering about at lunch time.

An engrossing topic, plan, etc., to which one constantly reverts: also, an occupation or interest to which one gives his spare time. The Class of '91 gave the word ra whole different meaning, one that only pertains to them and the filling of their spare time. On the way through four years at Bishop Amat, students hoped to decide a career, and hobbies may have helped them. For some people, hobbies helped them relax and get away from all their problems. They were also goals for which to strive in the future. Collections were a primary source of interest. Items collected included stamps, books, stuffed animals, ,or al- most anything else. Freshman Claire Kleinedler commented, Collecting bumper stickers is ahobby I love. I sense away for them in the mail from radio stations. I also enjoy collecting and reading all of the V.C. Andrews horror novels. As soon as they come out in the bookstore I am the first in line to buy them. . Then there werethe people that V.C. Andrews novels are popular among many, and are an enjoyment to read and collect. As a hobby, reading can enhance your vocabulary and lead you into a Career as an author.

When she was asked what she collected, she said, I collect JUNK! I never throw anything away. I have things from the third grade and refuse to get rid oftthemf' Hobbies were fun and exciting. They showed the differences in people's taste and attitudes due to their great variety. Whether used for enjoyment, as an aid to a future career, or an infatuation for a short period of time, hobbies were one of the fun things in life. Theyfbrought out different traits and personalities in all who encountered them. Whether it was watching movies or reading a good book, hobbies were a way of expressing yourself. Expression of yourself comes out through your actions and ways and hobbiesiare an action that shows how you likelto have fun and enjoy yourself. They can characterize who you hang out with and to what group you belong to. Belonging is something everyone hopes to do in their life, and for a fresh- man and their first year of high school belonging means everything. Hobbies make you unique among your fellow students and put you in a category all your own. he New 'is xl N is ' so 2 if xi s Esteban Rodriguez Monica Rodriguez Yolanda Rodriguez Michael Rogers Gilbert Rojo Linton Romero as Serena Ruggiero X Bryan Ruiz George Ruiz Edward Rust iviarieei sabiiio Carmeia Rutger ' A ..... . guru s ' ir .:::s5EEs:x-: vs, iq E E N will X R . ,,,. is s . . . gi E xX A X S sg if Ss E .5 X ee X Fig! if . What Goes Up Niust Come Down After finally reaching the top in eighth grade, all troubles seemed to be over. Of course, this was not true. Un- fortunately, most found out the hard way. After graduating from junior high, newcomers found themselves thrown into high school, branded with the name, dare I say, the F word freshman! No longer did the glorious days of the eighth grade exist, but the dark ages of freshman year reigned. It would take three more years before they would again be at the top and rule the school as seniors, provided they sur- vived. During the first weeks, the freshmen had to learn and get accustomed to all the basic rules of high school. Getting used to all the changes was a challenge. Freshman David Rodriguez explained, ln junior high, it was really easy. I got Freshmen in an algebra class raise their hands in confidence showing they are sure of the answer. Freshmen learned that participation was an im- portant factor. 126 Students up in the morning, went to my first period, and since I was in Catholic school, all my classes were in the same building. Suddenly, there were adjust- ments. I had a locker and books of my own and I had to change classrooms. It was sort of like starting all over again from the top of the heap, to only being a freshman. All wasn't bad, however. There were various activities and other fun things in which to look forward. First in line was the freshman orientation meeting. Trying out for sports and joining clubs were also added to the list. With all these events occurring, it was quite dif- ficult for freshmen to keep their grade point average at a projected level. Just like other major life changes, most tol- erated and adapted to the new environ- ment set before them. Eventually, the freshmen earned their place in school. As time passed they gained a new level of spiritual, so- cial, and intellectual development. Some freshmen began to understand the importance of God in their lives. Others gained new and special friend- ships that could last a lifetime. A few finally started discovering and under- standing their true identities. Most im- portantly, freshmen played a very sig- nificant role in the school family. Why without them, a major source of enter- tainment for the upperclassmen would be lost! But even the seniors were once freshmen, and ina few years, they too would have their turn guiding the fu- ture generations of freshmen through their first year of high school. s s s s 3 sa i i 5' .. . i. 92 1 ,Z ,,,2 5 arf.

Believe it or not, they did have a social life. They enjoyed all the things fthe upperclass- men might have difficulty swallowing this onel that other classes enjoyed. Yes, all things except for the privilege of driving. Movies, football games, school dances, and parties were not for- eign to the freshmeng they enjoyed all of the above. Stubborn upperclassmen still refused to remove the old stereo- type that was pinned to all freshmen. This year, the youngest members of the school made an impact that broke hu- miliating traditions of picking on the freshmen. Many of the freshmen found their source of social life right here at school. Clubs and sports became a social life in themselves. Although time-consuming, a little help from friends made the work not only bearable but fun as well. Foot- ball games also attracted a large crowd of freshmen. The bleachers became a place to meet old friends and make new ones, not to mention school dances which were strongly supported by the freshmen. The huge success of the new and improved dances with the special effects of lighting and giant video screen was greeted with freshman en- thusiasm. Junior high school was never like this. Some freshmen took a different route for their source of amusement. Fresh- man Carlos Cervantes proudly specu- lated, I just like to mess around. May' be skate around the neighborhood with my friends. Sports Knot necessarily school-sponsoredl provided a chance to meet other people. Freshman John Esser, who considered himself to be the quiet-type stated, I played soccer after school or sometimes surfed at 'Fressles California . One unusual freshman had stars in hr eyes. 'il write and sing lead for a new wave band called Ataxia. We practice in the garage when we have a chance, explained Lucy Gonzales. As for the vampires and night creatures that lurked among the freshman class, socializing took place at parties and under 21 nightclubs. Whatever the choice, be it parties, football games, sports, school-activities, or even a rock band, freshmen found ways of expressing themselves and breaking the old tradition of associating them with boredom. No longer were they stuck in the dull freshman rut but they were now considered a future breed to take over the school. Any last comments?

Admin- istrators contributed their days to reviewing applica- tions, devising a budget, set- ting up schedules, and plan- ning the year. On their shoulders fell the responsi- bility of helping 1,773 stu- dents achieve a full year of growth in knowledge, disci- pline, understanding and so- cial development. As principal, Mr. Merritt Hemenway was responsible for everything that occurred during the school year. My goal, said Mr. Hemenway, was to implement a better understanding between the teachers and students and to improve facilities. Mr. Ken Johnson, the vice principal, organized the supervision Honoring U and evaluation of the facul- ty, their inservice days, the overall academic program, and constantly monitored the budget. The deans managed the various facets of life on cam- pus. The vice principal of studies and Academic Dean, Sister Julie, was in charge of scheduling students into proper classes and monitor- ing their academic perfor- mance. Sister Julie declared, I love dealing with young people and watching them improve and succeed. As the Deans of Discipline, Mr. Steve Hagerty, Mr. Alex Acosta, Mrs. Kathleen Cha- vez, and Ms. Pat Tereschuk helped students to develop a sense of responsibility.

This new position was filled by Mr. Chris Spohn, whose du- ties included students athlet- ics, counseling, campus min- istry, and other various ac- tivities. Mr. Spohn felt that the versatility of his job made it all the more unique.l Under Mr. Hemenway's guidance, these and the oth-, er administrators successful- ly formed the backbone for the entire school. Studentsj sometimes took the adminis- trators' work for granted,i when in fact, their accom-l plishments were extraordi-l nary. Thus, the administra- tors were truly unsung he- roes.

The student body was giv- en a chance to meet with representa- tives from universities and colleges of all types. On November 12, the gym was the site of the annual College Night. The night was a great success, said Mrs. Mary O'Neil, the event's organiz- er. An attendance of over 500 students and parents was reported. In past years, College Night was strictly a senior affair. Contrary to this, underclassmen also appeared at the school function. Some students attend- ed the event after already determining their college possibilities or even their final choice. For others, College Night provided a major source of information on an assortment of schools located in California as well as out of state. It was a real learning experience. It gave us a chance to meet with other school repre- sentatives which without this event, would have been impossible, stated senior Marlon Singleton. Many parents said that it was a rewarding experience. They were touched by their children's enthusiasm to learn about institutions of higher learning. Various universities, colleges, and Armed Services were represented. The California State University representa- tive stated, This is in every respect the Mr. James Black Mathematics Fr.

In addition, 20 independent colleges from all over the United States had booths set up in the gym to provide information.

Recruiters and representatives were present to answer the questions of those who were interested in continuing their education away from home, sometimes thousands of miles away. At the time of entrance into high school, the main objective of most stu- dents was to graduate. The ultimate goal for many was to go on to college. College Night provided an opportunity for students to plan their future. It was a chance to get a feel for a college or university before applying. For those who were unable to visit an out-of-state university like Pennsylvania State, or even a community college like Rio Hondo, this night offered a chance to see what they truly wanted in a college. College Night allowed students to look toward their futures in a setting that was close to home.

In the past, the ususal emphasis was on learning how to use punctua- tion marks or the memoriza- tion of hundreds of vocabu- lary Words. These aspects of the subject were still present in the curriculum, but the emergence of increased read- ing was also characteristic of the total program. The curriculum included a wider scope of reading mate- rial. Reading lists were es- tablished at all levels to in- sure proper preparation for learning. Masterpieces such as The Scarlet Letter and Huckleberry Finn were specific books read by stu- dents. There was a concen- tration on writing skills. All grade levels were taught to express themselves with pen and paper. Each student be- came an individual with the tools to insure proper com- munication with the world around him or her. Participation in out-of- school activities also wi- dened the students' horizons. There was no better way to open new doors of learning than through drama. The de- partment therefore orga- nized outings to attend plays and literature in action. In the month of December, 40 students and three teachers went to an educational the- ater production of five classic short stories held at UCLA. During the latter part of the school year, the classic King Lear was viewed in Los An- geles. Sophomores and sen- iors were shown video pro- ductions of Shakespearean works such as Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. Stu- dents realized that there was more to the English language than simple sentence con- struction. Of course, the main objec- tive of the English depart- ment was to teach the lan- guage at the appropriate lev- el to each individual. The foundation of the program was not changed drastically because it followed specific standards. Mrs. Maria Gover, the department chairperson stated, The de- partment objectives c0uldn't be taught much differently from the norm. Basic Eng- lish does not change in a matter of a few years. This fact applied to both the cur- riculum and the practical us- age. What the department members did was make the learning more interesting to as many students as possible. The increased reading re- quirements and the educa- tional outings contributed to the modified and improved curriculum. New Teachers Learn The Ropes eaching Spanish in the Home Economics room, lr.

These newcomers were more mature looking, carried a briefcase, had a distinct walk and style, and they didnlt wear baggy clothes. This meant only one thing-new faculty members. As the new guys on the block, they defi- nitely had some learning of their own to do. Twelve new teachers were added to the staff and the administration wasted no time putting them to work-placing them in all academic departments, as well as sports, music, and counseling. The Religion Department acquired the most new faculty members. Fr. Jim Anguiano, Mr. Michael Ehreth, Sr. Madeleine, Mr. Brian Mathews, and Mr. Cameron Troxell were given the job of guiding students into a closer rela- tionship with God, not an easy task for a new teacher by any means. Being a new teacher meant a lot of hard work and little sleep, said Mr. Mathews. English and Foreign Languages also welcomed three new teachers. Mr. Jo- seph Lovano and Miss Diana Olivera brought their bilingual skills into play by teaching Spanish. Former college lit- erature instructor Miss Barbara Cabal- lero meanwhile taught junior and sen- ior English. For her, high school teach- ing was worlds apart from college life.

Other new faculty members included Sr. Mary Grace, who instructed seniors in U.S. Government, and Mr. Fred Var- tanian, who was probably the busiest new faculty member of all. He taught three separate subjects and also coached Boys Cross Country. It was difficult at first teaching three different subjects in classrooms scattered across the campus , but I believe it was worth it. The new Performing Arts coordina- tor, Mr. Victor Rodriguez, who lead the band at all the football games, and Sr. Mary Sulko, the Counseling Depart- rnent's newest guidance counselor com- pleted the list of new teachers. For new teachers, just becoming fa- miliar with the campus was a difficult enough task, not to mention the erratic bell schedules and no-warning mini- mum days caused by the intense Sep- tember heat. Nevertheless, the new fac- ulty members eventually became accus- tomed to the school, and the strange- ness they felt soon wore off. Within a few weeks, these teachers were not con- sidered new anymore, and were seen as essential members of the Amat Family. Sr. Colette, 0.3.8. Religion D.C. Rev. Msgr.

In light of this phenomenon, the depart- ment underwent many changes. It was renamed the Computer Science Depart- ment whereas it was pre- viously termed the Data Pro- cessing Department. This change was to prevent any confusion with the Data Pro- cessing Administration, which dealt with the new computer system on campus. To accomodate this up- coming field, space in the new building was set aside for computer classes. The new building also brought additional changes within the department. There were many proposals as to the new type of personal computers the students would be using and the kind of applications to be taught. The decisions depended upon the comput- er system that was finally chosen. Three different courses were offered: Computer Fun- damentals, Introduction to Data Processing, Program- ming in BASIC. Word Pro- cessing was offered during the summer. Taking one of these courses satisfied an ad- ditional requirement in the curriculum, computer aware- ness. Beginning with the class of 1988, students were required to take a computer class. Students on campus were heard complaining, Why do we need to take a computer class? I'll never encounter them in my life. To the con- trary, computers exist in al- most every aspect of the modern world, and every- body will be confronted with them at one time or another. Mr. Anthony Victoria felt that many students were in- timidated by computers. He hoped that by offering these classes, students would feel more comfortable with them. He stated, Students need to realize that the computer is a 5-...Q Knowing that practice is the best teacher, junior Kimberly Hein works on the computer.

B eeer i A f ' N 5--is , ttrrt R r lllr. Randy Dimmitt Mr. Steve Dreiling Social Studies Mathematics Nhat was most difficult for Every Tuesday evening something very meaningful took place on campus. It was called the twilight retreat. It was during the five hour sessions that stu- dents had the opportunity to share per- sonal feelings with their peers and learn more about themselves. Each evening began with the gather- ing of students from two religion classes for Mass in the faculty house chapel. The classes then assembled in the teachers' lounge for a good meal with friends. The meal was a potluck dinner. After dinner, students then went over to the library and formed groups of about six people plus a facilitator. Faci- litators included parents, teachers, or older friends, relatives, and students. Their job was to make sure that things ran smoothly and to contribute to the groups' discussion. The retreat program also included filmstrips, movies, slide shows, songs, and prayers promoting personal growth. These beneficial retreats were orga- nized by Sr. Francette. She was aided by the four religious affairs commis- sioners, seniors Hernani Ledesma, Lis- sette Ribas, and Nicole Wurster, and junior Allison Brown. Being one of the commissioners involved staying at school on Tuesday nights to help run the retreats by doing the kitchen work and faciltating for freshman and sopho- more classes. Despite working long Mr. Michael Ehreth A Religion Sr. Eileen Grace, 0.S.l. English . . . breathing. hours, they definitely felt that it was worth it. Commissioner Allison Brown stated, One of the good things about being here every night is that you meet a lot of new people, especially as a faci- litatorf' Each separate grade had a different theme for its retreat. The themes cen- tered around God's love, friendship, and self-esteem. Although everyone's reactions to the purpose of the retreats differed, students all expressed appre- ciation for the program. Seniors reacted eagerly to the retreat because it was their last, and freshmen were excited because it was their first. However, sophomores and juniors also enjoyed the retreats. Senior Chris Marino said, It was excellent. It was one of the best retreats I ever had. Junior Luce Palo- manes was also enthusiastic. She re- vealed, It was life-giving and encour- aging. Others may have felt disap- pointed. Junior Elise Belliveau ex- plained, I didn't feel that my group was very responsive. A retreat away from school would have been differ- ent. Overall, students found comfort in sharing their feelings with their classmates. The most important goal of the re- treat program was to add to each indi- vidual student's personal growth. This goal was achieved over the course of four years. Francette, O.S.F.

A K Hovv To Correctly luggle Numbers The Mathematics Depart- ment completed its second year under the direction of Sr. Kristin. This department offered more courses than any other department in the school. Mathematics students or- ganized themselves into study groups in order to maintain their grade-point averages. For instance, Sr. Kristin's Honors Math Ana- lysis students gathered for communal study periods be- fore quarter exams.

All classes called for intense prepara- tion. The department tried to create a uniformity of math- ematical processes by stress- ing the use of correct termin- ology and format. A main purpose of each level of math was to prepare students for the next level. A strong foun- dation was essential for be- coming familiar with ad- vanced mathematics. An interview with Sr. Kristin revealed the goals of the Mathematics Depart- ment. She held strict policies because she believed that the purpose of mathematics was to discipline.

The infirmary served as a refuge for udents that did not feel up to facing the stress a school day. Goetz tdo Mrs. Maria Gover English D.C. Our students are special people. They care very much about each other and about their families. They are respectful and they make our job a pleasure. Sniff, sniff! Aaaachoo! Ohhh! Ouch! These were the familiar sounds that could be heard in a little room at one end of the 400 wing-the infirmary. For most students, the infirmary was a place to go when they werenit feeling well. It was also known as a place to go when they just needed to take a break from their busy schedule to rest. Others turned to the infirmary for a band-aid to take care of their minor paper cuts, broken nails and scratches. Junior Shannon Walters contested, I only went to the infirmary if I was really sick, and I just wanted to go home. Often times though, students visited the infirmary at an academically cru- cial time. They suddenly felt ill during a period in which they had to take a test or turn in a major project. Mrs. Margie Dorgan, the infirmary supervisor, com- mented, About 60927 of the students were actually sick, and the other 4096 came to the infirmary just to get out of class. She also determined that on the average about 24 students visited the infirmary each day. Not surprisingly, however, during the flu epidemics, she noticed an increase of approximately 75 more students per day. This year there were five ladies who regularly volunteered their time to work in the infirmary. Mrs. Dorgan has volunteered her time for the past eight Miss ivy Grashian Business D.C. l appreciate students' friendliness and their coop- erativeness in most cases! Miss Patti Grofi Physica!

She was assisted by: Mrs. Peggy Delgado, Mrs. Marta Rubio, Mrs. Sandy Hanamaikai, and Mrs. Mary Ann Secard. Not only was the infirmary a place to go when sick, but also a place to keep any prescription medication which was needed. The students were not allowed to carry medication, including aspirin. Many wondered about this regulation since aspirin was only an over-the- counter drug. Dean, Ms. Patricia Teres- chuk explained, Students aren't al- lowed to carry aspirin with them be- cause it is a medication and needs to be regulated. Aspirin is a corrosive drug and could be harmful to their health. The infirmary served the campus in many ways. It was there for the sick, those who needed a short nap, students taking a break from class, and for those who needed to take their prescribed medication. Mrs. Dorgan commented, I want the students to know that the infirmary is a place for them to rest so they will feel better for their next peri- od. Finally, along with taking care of their physical needs, the volunteers in the infirmary offered the student body tender, loving care, TLC, in hopes that they would feel better. Their philos- ophy was that a little TLC would cure any ailment.

The project would not have been possible without the sup- port of these people. Industrial Arts Builds Foundation To future architects, the Industrial Arts Department was very important in build- ing the foundation for their career choice. The courses of- fered were Mechanical Drafting, Architectural Drafting, and Advanced Ar- chitectural Drafting. All three were proudly taught by Mr. Joseph Rodger, the de- partment chairperson. The mechanical drafting class taught the students the basics of architectural draw- ing. Along with proper pro- cedure, they were taught how to draw figures to size. Techniques in enlarging pic- tures, such as cars, using drawing tools were also taught. As their project, stu- dents drew electrical skema- tics for AM radios and then built a working model. Architectural Drafting was the next course offered. Stu- dents learned all the parts and codes for building sizes along with basic electrical re- quirements for houses. They were then taught how to de- sign houses, which included knowing about room loca- tion. After that, a set of house plans that conformed to legal codes was finally drawn. Advanced Architectural Drafting was the final and most rewarding step. All the skills learned in the previous years were applied in design- ing a house of the students' choice. Once the plans were drawn, they learned how to build an exact scale model of their house according to codes, in detail and preci- sion. As a result, the finished project gave each student the reward of feeling satisfied and accomplished. These industrial arts courses were advantageous to those pursuing a career in the field of architecture. They drew the blueprints and laid the foundation for a student's career. Mr. Rodger enjoyed teaching these courses because they helped those students interested in the field. He remarked, The classes were unique and fun. They allowed students to create their own work and work at their own speed. Also the information and skills learned could be used to earn a living.

The groundbreaking ceremony marked the beginning of a dream come true for school administrators and par- ents alike. On November 25, communi- ty officials, parents, and faculty gath- ered together to help celebrate the com- mencement of a building project that would provide students with two new classrooms. Through the efforts of the Director of Public Relations, Mr. Robert Parsons, and the Assistant Director of Public Relations, Mrs. Debbie Myers, the cele- bration was a huge success. When asked what it took to put on this event, Mr. Parsons responded, . . . two weeks of hard work. They planned the official ceremony as well as the reception that followed. The two new classrooms to be built were the media room and a large com- puter center. The media room was de- signed to be an oversized classroom that could hold more than one class at a time for the viewing of films or the holding of assemblies. The computer center will take the place of the small computer room in the faculty house and house 32 new microcomputers.

The administration decided a year later that they would have to rely on funding from parents. This would come through private donations and fun- draisers. Initially about 12 parents stepped forward with donations of 31,000.00 or more. In appreciation of these parents, a plaque displaying their family names was to be displayed in the new computer center. The total paren- tal contribution during the first year of donations came to over S150,000.00. On hand at the groudbreaking cere- mony were many of the people who helped bring about the realization of the dream. Guest speaker, Bishop Juan .Arzube, the regional bishop for the San Gabriel Valley, led the opening prayer to begin the ceremony. Senator Joseph Montoya of the Twenty-Fifth District and a Bishop Arnat parent was also pre- sent. It was announced that he would be the honorary chairperson of the 1988 Lancer Classic Dinner. Every person who made possible the dream of expanding educational facili- ties deserved to be thanked. The fact was that every parent who supported the building project was much appreci- ated by the students, faculty, and ad- ministration. 1 Sr. lulie Conote, S.S.L.

This department em- bodied courses which taught students how to handle fi- nances, raise children, and how to sew and cook. Stu- dents also learned about proper nutrition. The Consumer Education course taught students how to responsibly manage their lives in the real world. Mrs. Patricia O'Connor, in- structor of Consumer Educa- tion and chairperson of the Home Economics Depart- ment, stated, In Consumer Education, we covered ev- erything from balancing a checkbook to buying a car or house? This class was help- ful to students because it prepared them to handle money competently and in- dependently. Child Development, a course which has grown in popularity during recent years, traced the develop- ment of a child from the fetal stages through his or her teens. Guest speakers includ- ed women and parents with young children. Child Devel- opment prepared students for the reality of child-rear- ing. It prompted further and deeper thought for those who were considering parent- hood. Students with artistic in- terests enjoyed Creative Home. These students dis- cussed interior design tech- niques, such as decoration and color coordination. Clothing I and II attracted students who were interested in sewing. Students not only sewed their own clothes, but designed them as well. They were required to sew six gar- ments. Their final exam con- sisted of a timed sewing pro- ject.

According to Mrs. Pat Buccola, Mr. Merritt Hemenway's sec- retary, The offices are the heart of the school. The two ladies that were responsible for the smooth activity within the front office were Mrs. Virginia Ashdown and Mrs. Pat Buccola. Mrs. Ashdown, the receptionist, handled mail and tuition payments, phone communication, xe- roxing and purchase orders. Mrs. Pat Buccola was available to assist Mr. He- menway and the faculty. The front of- fice is here to help the students as well as parents with any problems they may encounter, stated Mrs. Ashdown. The ringing of telephones and click- ing of computer keyboards were sounds familiar to the attendance office. This office which was run by Mrs. Gerri Dawson and Mrs. Leona Lemelle with the assistance of student aides, handled everything related to the attendance of the students. The typical day of Mrs. Lemelle and Mrs. Dawson began with the issuing of admittance slips and an- swering phone calls from parents in re- gard to absent students.

Student aide Gil Barkey commented, The new com- puter system is extremely beneficial to the accuracy of attendance records. Not only has it reduced the amount of help needed, but it has also sped up the pro- cess of recording tardies and absen- tees. In referring to the new computer system, Mrs. Dawson stated, Although there were some unforeseen snags with- in the computer program, as soon as the the problems had been tended to, it proved to be a quick and accurate sys- tem. The financial office dealt with all matters in which money was involved. Mrs. Barbara Meraz and Mrs. Lena Vallejo were the staff members who dealt with tuition and bills. The bills were paid by Mrs. Meraz who also kept books of all payable accounts. Mrs. Val- lejo handled all incoming money, col- lected, and recorded the students' tu- ition payments. The functioning of the school was largely due to the efficiency of the front office, attendance office, and financial office. Through the observance of a typical day, it was clearly evident why the offices were the heart of school management. Sr. Lorita, 0.S.F. Adm., Science D.C.

According to Miss Virginia Pranik, her goal as the department chairperson was to use her time in an efficient manner while providing her students with solid and structured classes. Undoubtedly, the social studies program challenged all students from the sopho- mores to seniors. The courses offered were the study of World History, United States History and Govern- ment, Psychology and Basic Economics. They were taught by uncommonly ener- getic faculty members who provided not only a means for learning but also a way to apply facts and theories to current events and exper- eeking Answers In Society iences. Miss Terri Velasco was remembered for her unique method of teaching boring history facts by us- ing a classroom version of baseball. Junior Sandy Johnson related, I enjoyed Miss Velasco's class because she explained things enthu- siatically and in a manner that I could understand. Senior Chelsie Pederson ex- pressed her feelings about her sophomore World Histo- ry class. I remember that Mrs. Rosann Ramirez seemed to really like what she taught. She was tough and challenging but she brought humor and enthusi- asm to the classroom? This year the department modified its curriculum in an effort to meet the needs of the junior class. An honors United States History class was offered to students so that students could be accu- rately challenged at their re- spective levels of ability. The new class which was similari- ly constructed to the Ad- vanced Placement course, stressed theory and concepts, but not at such a strenuous level. History is a very broad subject covering events from thousands of years ago to events taking place in our daily lives. By reading and studying these facts you are not guaranteed a clear plan for the future, however the social sciences do offer peo- ple an opportunity to inter- pret the results in previous situations and apply those results when making a deci- sion,', stated Miss Pranik. Through the study of soci- ety, present and past, the students grew in their knowledge of the world, due to the excellent instruction provided within the Social Studies Department.

A cultural exchange occurred on No- vember 9, in which 49 students from Fukuoka, Japan toured the campus in order to gain insight into the daily lives of American teens. The mutually en- lightening event was organized by Ja- pan Travel Bureau and Mr. Bob Par- sons, head of public relations. Mr. Parsons recruited students to serve as hosts to their Japanese coun- terparts. Their job was to be a guide and an example of an American student. In the process, they made new friends and were given perhaps their first impres- sion of the Japanese culture. In the morning, all directly involved with the event met in the library. After the formal introductions, each host was assigned to a student from Japan. They were then placed into four groups and given a schedule. The groups visited art classes, foods and nutrition classes, and biology classes. The Japanese students observed and photographed slices of American high school life. They even had a chance to make miniature pizzas. The Japanese teachers and reporters that accompanied the students also toured the campus. Since most of the Japanese students had studied English for less than one year, verbal communication was diffi- cult. Seniors Naomi Walker and John Koiso as well as sophomore Monique Yamaguchi served as interpreters. The group that did not have an interpreter converted its English to Japanese by dictionary. When reflecting on the ex- perience, John Koiso said, Being an interpreter was a hard job because we were the only ones that understood, yet I know we were appreciated. Naomi Walker expressed her remembrance of the day: HI made many new friends and even got to catch up on my rusty Japa- nesef' The participants met in the gym after a luncheon in the faculty house. Pep squad members performed for the crowd. The girls from Japan also per- formed. Finally, the Girls Volleyball team played exhibition matches against both the Japanese girls and boys volley- ball teams. The day came to a close with an ex- change of modest gifts between the hosts and their guests, symbolizing a cultural exchange. The students from Japan were also given a Lancer Life, a Bishop Amat pencil, Disneyland stick- ers, souvenirs from the California An- gels' baseball team, and a 1986-1987 Yearbook. The event was a fascinating exper- ience. The representatives from Japan were able to View American lifestyle, while students of Bishop Amat had a chance to realize the uniqueness of their counterparts halfway around the world.

Included within this department were Typing I, Typing II, Accounting, and Business Law. Specifically, Typing I focused on develop- ing the basic skills necessary to type efficiently. Typing II took the skills learned in Typing I and applied them to business. In Accounting, students learned both pro- fessional and personal appli- cations of working with numbers and keeping finan- cial books. The remaining course offered within the business department was Business Law. This class dealt with the law in every- day life: contracts, insurance, rights, and obligations. As explained by Miss Ivy Gra- shian, the department chair- person, The business de- partment is not only for those interested in going into the business world. I strong- ly feel that business courses are the foundation for many other areas. Many of the students who took these courses felt the same way. Numerous people took classes offered by the Business Department, even though they had no desire to enter the business field. As reflected by senior Rica Reynado, I plan on using typing for term papers, and since the computer keyboard is similar to that of the type- writer, this course will en- able me to work quickly and efficiently with computers. Some students planned to use the information from these courses in everyday life. Senior Nina Romero stated, Business law lets me know a little more about signing my life away without reading the small print. But Usual Although many students took business classes with nm intention of going into the business field, others planned to utilize the skills taught in these classes in their professional lives. Sen- ior Shawna Sands explained, I plan on majoring in ac- counting and becoming a cer- tified public accountant. Taking accounting now is just the first step in my ca- reef. No matter what the rea- sons for taking a business course, the results were evi- dent. The courses within the Business Department pre- pared students to meet th demands that they would in- evitably face in the near fu- ture. Whether these de- mands were destined to b personal or professional, th students were given a stron foundation on which to im- prove their skills. l , Reaching For The Top Choice '. John Teresa corrects his students' math as- gnments. Concerned teachers were always will- g to explain the reasons behind students' er- FS. We all have dreams of becoming the best at one time or another. It may be as the ultimate basketball player or the hottest teenage heartthrob this side of the Mississippi. Of course, there were those who tried to become the ideal stu- dent. Not only did students dream of being up with the top few, but teachers also worked to become an ideal teacher. Yet teachers could not judge their coun- terparts just as the students could not judge their peers. A teacher was the true judge of a student and a student could determine the value of a teacher. The respective groups possessed different ideas of the ideal teacher or student. Students expressed a desire for an in- structor who made learning fun. Junior Jennifer Cochran explained, When the teacher made the subject interesting, I was able to comprehend the material. The subject became vibrant and seemed very real. A teacher who aroused en- thusiasm had to worry less about stu- dent comprehension and had less disci- plinary problems. Students who were taught by the ideal teachers never had the urge to take a snooze to pass the time. A teacher who took extra time with students was admired. Senior David Sandoval replied, A good teacher is one who takes time to help and make sure all the students comprehend the subject. Students needed to feel that the instructor knew that the material was not always simple in the eyes of a student. I truly respect a teacher who can understand our problems. It makes it easier to sit in class for an hour when you're communicating with a person who can somehow relate to you, said junior Robert Bautista. People needed to see that teachers were human too. Teachers also set goals for students. They liked to work with those who completed the assignments and used critical thinking to solve problems. Mrs. Maria Gover commented, The ideal student not only completed the requirements, but also managed time well and respected students, and teach- ers alike. These selected students also participated in school activities, from sports to Christian Service. A student who had a good attitude proved to be on top. Mrs. Patricia Tereschuk confided, A good student was one who actually liked learning. Students should not be motivated sole- ly by their parents. No matter which side of the coin on which one fell, it was not easy to de- serve to be called ideal,'. It took the whole year and perhaps even more time to do it right. In the end, the fruits of the labor proved to be very sweet. Mary Conheady, S.S.L. ristian Service Coor- iator, Foreign Lan- age, Religion Sr. Mary Grace, 0.S.F. Sr. Mary Sulko, 0.S.F.

Chris- tianity provided the answer. The goals of the Religion De- partment were to help the students develop an under- standing of what it meant to be a Christian and a Catholic and how to apply these prin- ciples to everyday life in so- ciety. These goals were what religion teachers wanted to achieve and were sought out and reached under the guid- ance of Sister Colette, the de- partment chairperson. Sister explained what the four year curriculum was de- signed to incorporate. She stated, In accord with the National Catechetical Direc- tory, Sharing the Light of Faith, the religion courses were designed to incorporate the four principle elements of Catechetical instruction: doctrine, community, ser- vice, and worship. The em- phasis throughout the pro- gram was on a Catholic un- derstanding of Christianity, as well as an appreciation of the Catholic Church and its tradition. Integrated into the reli- gion curriculum were the ex- posures to various religious practices and experiences. These included liturgies, penance services, confes- sions, twilight retreats, ro- saries, stations of the cross, daily prayer, special religious events, campus ministry, Christian service opportuni- ties, mission and vocation days, and collection for the poor and needy. All students were able to participate in these activities. Students were encouraged to grow in the discovery of themselves. In light of Jesus and the Gos- pel, they were challenged to become responsible Chris- tians, mature in their moral lives and in service to others. The overall program was continually evaluated to al- low for more student partici- pation and lifelong develop- ment. By the time a student finished a four-year course of religious instruction, he or she should have developed a solid and thoughtful founda- tion on which to build a Christian life. Decathletes Dominate ln Academics The Academic Decathlon team com- leted at Saint John Bosco High School or rights to go into state competition. ln November 14, the team emerged ictoriously, winning first place among 4 private schools in Southern Califor- ia. Not without hard work and prep- ration could this have been accom- llished. As early as June, 1987, Mrs. Mary l'Neil began to plan the school's par- ,cipation in this important event. 'eam members were required to ac- uaint themselves with areas of litera- ire, physics, health, mathematics, eco- omics, social studies, aviation history, nd romantic art and music. Intense in- truction provided by the faculty and creased study in these Various sub- cts began two weeks prior to the De- thlon. The much anticipated final eam selection was made November 12. Nine students were chosen for the ree levels of competition. The highest ,vel, the Honors division, consisted of enior Eric Johnson, junior Gregg Kas- en, and senior Anna Sanchez as the ternate. Seniors Nicole Wurster, Ke- 7n Sherwood, and alternate Cynthia Lamirez competed in the Scholastic di- ision.

Each participant, excluding the alternates, presented a speech on current American foreign policy and an impromtu speech, wrote an essay on a given generalization or universal truth, and participated in an interview and in the Super Quiz on aviation history in which the team placed second. This placement gave the team enough points to capture first place overall. In the Honors division, Eric Johnson received a gold medal in social studies, silver medals in science and mathemat- ics, a bronze metal in fine arts, and a gold medal for his overall total points earned. Gregg Kasten, also in the Hon- ors division, received golds medals in economics, fine arts, social studies, sci- ence, language and literature, and mathematics and a bronze medal for his essay. A silver medal was awarded to him for his overall total points in the Honors division. Nicole Wurster in the Scholastic divi- sion received a silver medal for her es- say and Kevin Sherwood won a silver medal in language and literature. In the Varsity division, Dino Rivadeneira re- ceived a bronze medal in language and literature.

Alternates were awarded certificates of merit for their achievements. In the Honors division, Anna Sanchez re- ceived first place certificates in math- ematics and social studies. She also won second place certificates in fine arts and language and literature. In the Scholas- tic division, Cynthia Ramirez received a third place certificate for language and literature. In the Varsity division, Dan- ielle Milnes received a second place cer- tificate in science and third place certi- ficates in fine arts and language and literature. According to Eric Johnson, the victo- ry praised the curriculum of the school and exhibited the high stan- dards of education. The team members, who were ecstatic about winning the first place title in the regional competi- tion, participated in the California State Academic Decathlon held in Sac- ramento from March 11 to March 14. Their regional victory inspired them to work hard in preparing for state compe- tition.

For example, some wanted simply to fulfill the Fine Arts graduation re- quirement. Others wanted to develop their interests or ex- ercise their creative talents. To suit the student body, the Fine Arts Department of- fered an unmatched palette of colorful courses from which to choose. The courses that fufilled the requirement as well as the demands of the students included Basic Art, Graphic Art, Music and Art Appreciation, Drama, and Band. Whether using an artistic tool or musical instrument or learning about well known artists of the past and pre- sent, each student had an op- portunity to specialize in their choice of the arts. Many felt that if they took a fine arts course they would be obligated to paint works emulating the Mona Lisa . In reality, the classes gave them a chance to learn to ap- preciate art and music and Mr. Michael Sandoval's art class concentrates intensely on a still life to be drawn. Different types of art expression were learned through- out the year by students enrolled in fine arts courses. develop any personal talents at their own pace. After tak- ing one of these courses, most students understood that becoming acquainted with the arts helped them in their education by letting them expand their capabili- ties and use their imagina- tion. Junior Stacy Medrano commented, Fine Arts should be required to gra- duate because everyone should be exposed to all the options in the world of art, music and drama. The department chairper- son, Mr. Michael Sandoval, shared that conviction. He explained that the purpose of the Fine Arts Department, to enlighten students about the world of art , is impor- tant in expressing one's self as a creative individual. He also said that artistic knowl- edge is a growing tooln. It was satisfying to know that students sometimes discov- ered a talent that had pre- viously been untapped. The Fine Arts Department took pride in teaching stu- dents about the interesting and enlightening aspects in this field. Lending A Helping Hand 5 r ai 'f,'2 1'3 5,-,if-ful? Ni' 4? pix' nior Jessica Jacquez posts the daily bulletin on a faculty house door. Students learned about coming events by reading these notices. Campus aides . . . everyone knew who they were. They were the students who walked the halls with armloads of papers ready to be photocopied, or they were the mystery students who sat in the back of the classrooms correcting papers and recording grades. Although at first sight their duties may have seemed menial, their work was essential in the eyes of the faculty. Students who were teachers' aides as- sisted the teachers by making copies, correcting and recording papers, and filing. Each student aide was trusted by the teacher to be honest and fair while checking fellow students papers and tests. The help of these aides gave teachers more time in the classroom to spend with their students. In this way, both the classes and teachers benefit- ted. Each department had student aides on whom they were greatly dependent each day. Lab assistants were kept busy in the Science Department by setting up labs, taking inventory of supplies, and cleaning up. The counseling office relied on the aides to schedule classes, run passes, file, organize, and label. The attendance and studies offices needed them to type and work with the new computer system. The student aides helped to alleviate the faculty's time consuming tasks while learning office and organizing skills. Five credits were gained by each student who volun- teered to be an aide. Most students enjoyed being an aide because it gave them a break between actual classes. Many were teachers' aides during the week when they were not on a Christian Service outing. Being an aide required no studying, no home- work, and no tests! All that was needed was a little time, and a cooperative atti- tude. Junior Jenny Anthony who was an aide two days out of the week stated, It was fun marking papers and work- ing with Mrs. Iris Machado, but the best part was getting to sit next to one of my closest friends twice a week, be- cause it was the only class we had to- gether! Aides found that it was easy to become aquainted with the teacher or faculty member to whom they were as- signed. With the large number of students in each class, the teachers found it diffi- cult to keep up with and correct the amount of work turned in. Mrs. Maria Tillitson commented, Having an aide really helped to keep things under con- trol, and gave me some free time out- side of school. With the time donated by student aides, faculty found much needed assistance and students learned skills and responsibility as well as an opportunity to build up teacher-stu- dent relationships. '.

For others, it meant something much deeper. Seeing one's own words printed in black and white produced an over- whelming feeling of satisfac- tion. The emotions were similar for photographers. Don't believe for a second that working as a school journalist was all peaches and cream, however. Good journalists had to be abso- lutely dedicated to inter- viewing and taking photo- graphs, which wasn't too tough. True commitment was evident when students actually met their copy, pho- tograph, and lay-out dead- lines with quality work. The newspaper and yearbook staffs took on these chal- lenges. While the newspaper cov- ered the events affecting the campus on a periodical basis, the yearbook related the his- tory of the year in one re- lease. Whether staff mem- bers realized it or not, they were also worthy of being covered in the very publica- tions they produced. No one could deny that the days when the newspaper was dis- vi? . f 'if5 Q tributed or Yearbook Day were characterized by stu- dents excitedly awaiting their copy of a publication created just for them. The newspaper and yearbook were as much a part of the school as the people and events they recorded. The journalists sustained work- ing long hours to provide the student body with quality pages. Both the newspaper and yearbook staffs were de- signed to mirror their profes- sional counterparts. Stu- dents were expected to re- sponsibly report, write, and revise their work many times over. All in all, the key was to be accurate and concise, meet deadlines, and keep cool. Anyone that did not exper- ience working with a journal- istic staff could not begin to realize the enormous amount of effort, work, and time be- hind the neat, printed pages of a newspaper or yearbook. The Lance and the Tusitala are two products of the journalism pro- gram.

As a part of the Christian Vocations course requirements, every senior had to experience married life before they graduated. For many, the idea of dra- matizing marriage and in the process, meeting someone new, held a great deal of intrigue. Others that were not so apt to put much energy into the project did not gain as much knowledge and ex- perience from their two weeks of mar- ried life. Christian Vocation's teachers, Mrs. Paula Sheldon, Mrs. Marita Brys, and Mr. Tim Murphy added an extra touch of enthusiasm to the two week period with several different activities. First of all, the temporary marriages began with a mock wedding. Couples were an- nounced by Mrs. Sheldon after having been randomly matched by the three teachers. Due to the fact that there were more ladies than gentlemen, compensa- tion was made by creating some polyg- amist marriages. The short ceremony was followed by a reception immediate- ly afterward. Cake and punch were pro- vided and couples were given time to introduce themselves if they had not met before. Symbolic wedding gifts were exchanged and excitedly un- wrapped during this time. Activities and discussions were de- signed to simulate real marriage issues, conflicts, and situations. Among them were a lunch date and the infamous baby experiment. A new twist was ad- ded by switching the traditional egg ba- bies to five pound sacks of flour. Most people agreed that this was more realis- tic though much less convenient. After only one day with the baby, many par- ents had a story or two to tell. Ray Genato stated, My most memorable experience was when I took my babies to one of my soccer games. I had asked the stat girls if they would kindly baby- sit for me. They did all right by leaving them inside the bus which left. Lucky for me, the same bus came back. What a worrisome experience! After two weeks of working together, it was the consensus of most couples that the marriage project was among the most memorable as well as valuable projects of their four high school years. Shawna Sands stated, I realized the responsibilities of taking care of a fam- ily to a certain extent. I also learned to compromise. Some students had to compromise more than others. This was most often the case in the polygamist marriages. It was imperative that the group worked together. Joe Meyers re- lated about his wives, We all partici- pated equally. Participation with enthusiasm, that was the key. Just as in real marriages, the people involved learned to commu- nicate and had more fun the more they put into the relationship.

Students had to complete a minimum of two years of the language of their choice by the time they graduated. However, stu- dents often chose to take an additional one or two years of the language they had been studying. Each student had their own reason to con- tinue study. It could have been a particular interest in the language itself or a desire to meet the requisites of a college. The Spanish Department offered an accelerated pro- gram which included an Ad- vanced Placement course. This enabled students to re- ceive college credit for their high school Spanish class. Junior Hyacinth Dagala commented, I took Spanish IV because I'd like to learn how to use Spanish in other places, not just in the class- room. It's pretty challenging too. Many colleges prefer that three years of a lan- guage be masteredf' Being able to read, write, and speak a foreign language also had its advantages in the job market. Junior Rob- ert Bautista looking far ahead into his future specu- lated, Spanish IV will allow me to use Spanish fluently. With knowledge of fluent Spanish, I can work easily with Spanish-speaking peo- ple in future jobs. French and Latin were not commonly spoken in the community. Those students who had the desire to visit different parts of the world and were eager to learn more about foreign cultures, stud- ied the languages that would be most beneficial to them in their future. Since the Eng- lish language largely stems from Latin, students chose to study Latin in order to broaden their vocabulary. This could be to a studentis advantage in advanced Eng- lish courses or to one inter- ested in classical literature. Junior Jennifer Cochran dis- closed, I've always wanted to learn how to speak French fluently. It's such a beautiful language, but now that Iim going to Europe this sum- mer, I can use it for more practical things like ordering a croissant or something. It's a really hard class, but it's worth it! Some students looked forward to possibly having the opportunity to be a foreign exchange student in France or Mexico. Some hoped to use their knowledge of a language to communi- cate with a wider range of people. The Foreign Language De- partment prepared students for their future. Those who planned ahead took advan- tage of the classes that were offered. Playing A Valuable Role was not uncommon to find Mr. James Black at s post in the quad outside ofthe library.

What duty did they hold? Was it enforcing rules and regulations? Was it creating a more intimate stu- dent-teacher relationship? The answer was that the dedicated team of teachers and administrators took on both roles. Just as the Associated Student Body emphasized the importance of commu- nication, so did the administration. Ac- tive moderators helped to bridge the gap in relations between students and teachers. Some students found that the only convenient time they had to speak with a faculty member was during lunchtime and they were pleased to find that moderators were ready to lis- ten. The faculty members that were lunchtime moderators actually had the duty of supervising students at lunch instead of teaching a class or perform- ing administrative tasks. The fact that they endeavored to deal with students less formally made them more ap- proachable throughout the rest of the school day. They held a unique and im- portant job. Each day, Mr. Alex Acosta, Mr. Ter- rance Keavney, Mr. Marcus Lewis, Mrs. Kathy Chavez, and Mr. Steve Hagerty were familiar faces in and around the lunch line. They could be seen chatting with students while munching away at their lunches by Rocky's truck. Mr. Lewis reflected, It's the best way we have to really get to know the kids on an informal basis. Students didn't feel as if I were evaluating them. I also got a chance to meet my students' friends, and therefore become more familiar with the student body. Mrs. Chavez added, I enjoyed being a moderator and found that I had the opportunity to get to know everyone better? Mr. James Black never failed to be seen in back of the 600 wing guarding the halls from any poor souls who might have lost their way. Students were not allowed outside the lunch area unless it was raining. The authoritarian presence served to eliminate problems before they arose. Because of the strict regulation of the lunch line, thefts from the truck dropped considerably as well as the problem of students cutting unfairly into the line. They also used lunchtime to enforce dress code. The team of lunchtime moderators was valuable to the campus community. They not only kept students in line, but also made themselves available to stu- dents who needed to talk with someone other than their friends. Lunchtime moderators looked out for the students' best interests in more ways than one. Mr. John Teresa Mathematics . . acne, start oi facial hairs, having to shave, go- ing on dates on street cars.

Off-cam- pus was an elective that only seniors could take for either one or two semesters, de- pending on how it worked into their schedules. This gave them time to explore the real world by allowing an free seventh period. The ex- tra hour was convenient for holding a part-time job or re- laxing and having fun. Many seniors had jobs in order to pay their way through school or to have a little extra money in their pockets for lunch and out of school activities. These ac- tivities might have included movie-going or shopping. Seventh period off-campus gave seniors the extra time and an edge over other stu- dents who would soon be out in the big wide world. It meant beginning work earli- er than most. When asked why she chose seventh peri- od off-campus, Lisa Hall re- plied, I was tired of asking my mom and dad for money, and I wanted to pull my own weight around the housef' Being independent and self- sufficient was important to seniors and it showed every- one that they were ready to tackle all that life had to of- fer. I had seventh period off- campus for convenience, and because it was a senior privi- lege. I wanted everyone to know I was a senior! ex- claimed Missy Aguilar. Con- venience was a major reason for choosing to take off-cam- pus. It was easier to leave the campus at this time because there was less traffic in the parking lot. Off-campus pro- vided sufficient time to spend on homework, and therefore more time for fun later in the evening. Consid- ering the significance of sen- ior year, grades were very important to the colleges for which students might be ap- plying. With a little extra time, students could focus on the things in their lives that needed the most attention. Students also could use their time to run errands or take college courses. This elective gave some seniors the chance to be in a different atmosphere, away from the structured school life to which they had been accustomed. Whether for convenience or work, it was definitely a senior privilege. Off-campus gave the seniors a sense of their own identity which was what separated them from the rest of the crowd. Freshmen, soph- mores, and especially juniors looked forward to having the option of a free seventh peri- od under the senior privilege of off-campus.

CAIVIFEL Brings Reassuring Message CAMFEL, Campus Fellowship, ad- vocated a message of inspiration on No- vember 19. The lively presentation en- couraged students to project confidence in one's individuality. The specific theme of the production was Shades , symbolizing the way young people con- ceal their true personal uniqueness by striving to be hidden within a crowd. It stressed the importance of being com- fortable with onets own image, defined by attitudes and values. The concept be yourself can often be a boring, worn out, topic to discuss. However, CAMFEL presented the mes- sage with an unprecedented, modern approach. Most viewers could relate to the situations discussed by people their own age. The program also included clips from recent movies such as Top Gun , Space Balls , Project X,', Blind Date , and Back to Schoolv. Music by such popular artists as Bon Jovi, Level 42, Club Nouveau, and Bryan Adams, accompanied the visuals. As the stars and movie clips flashed across the three giant screens, popular music blasted from the huge speakers and the audi- ence cheered and clapped for their fa- vorites.

They have been reminders of the im- portance of self confidence and courage to make your own decisions. This year's message was, Wear your own shades, not someone elses, because expressing your true individuality is what makes you uniquely you! This theme was something all students could compre- hend. Sophomore Ariel Benaraw com- mented, I thought it was a better way of presenting the message than through a boring lecture. Speaking on the tradition of the CAMFEL presentation, Mr. David Me- dina said, We have them come each year because they have a message for us. CAMFEL presented the Christian morals in a different way than in the classrooms. Adding an enjoyable sup- plement to the Christian message pre- sented to us at Bishop Amat, it coin- cided with the ideas conveyed to stu- dents during their yearly class retreats and during religion classes. In the fu- ture, the plans are to give a pre-presen- tation of the CAMFEL message in reli- gion classes. The production proved to be a hit just as it had in the past years, and students anxiously anticipated the arri- val of the CAMFEL presentation for the following year. . kkkk .. .e g wg, . , I li V 1 L 'k-l ,, 'lie 3 . 1 K K e. 5 ..

However, not every class en- tailed improving reading, writing and arithmetic skills. Courses for rejuvenation and sometimes relaxation of the mind were also offered. The Physical Education Depart- ment offered two different courses: the mandatory freshman P.E. class and Ad- vanced Physical Education. For many, this was a wel- come break from the normal- ity of a school day. It gave students a chance to run off all their aggressions on the track or release all their frus- trations through the pass of a softball. A P.E. class was the only class in which a student did not have to sit attentive- ly at his or her desk. Stu- dents were encouraged to discipline themselves by tak- ing care of their bodies. All did not especially en- joy the classes during fresh- man year. Besides the fact that students were required to take this class, it was often hard to get ready fast enough to make it to the next class on time. When it was scourching hot outside, freshmen braved the sun. They then had to race into the locker room and put their dress code clothes back on after showering. There was an addition to the curriculum-girls' Athle- tic Conditioning. It offered a chance for girls who played sports to get extra condition- ing. Unlike the boys' Ad- vanced P.E., the girls were not required to be on a varsi- ty team. Students grew to know each other well during P.E. classes. Most of the friend- ships established in fresh- man P.E. classes were des- tined to be long-lasting. The friends I made in P.E. freshman year are friends that I still have. They are some of my closest friends, stated senior Diane Hayden. Miss Patti Groff explained her duties as the department Mickey Velasco fails to block France Car- reon attempt to score. Sportsmanship was important in freshman P.E. classes. chairperson: I designed classes for the new year, made up the curriculum for both boys' and girls' sports, and arranged this year's cal- endar for sports events. She also said, It's a great deal of fun working with different teachers and students. The Physical Education Department was essential for helping students maintain healthy bodies to accompany healthy minds. It also taught the importance of physical fitness for everyone.

Keeping the lines or means of com- munication open was the most impor- tant aspect of being a counselor. Giving advice and listening to students was not the only hard work the counselors had cut out for them. For Mrs. Paula Shel- don, Mrs. Mary O'Neil, Sr. Mary Sulko, Miss Christi Velasco, Miss Cindy An- dries, and Mr. Chris Spohn who worked as counselors, several other responsibil- ities made for a busy schedule. Head counselor, Mrs. Paula Shel- donls job consisted of coordinating the Counseling Department, overseeing the five other counselors, handling the re- registration proceedings, scheduling students and guiding them on their per- sonal, career, and academic goals. This, coupled with teaching two Christian Vocation classes kept her schedule full. When asked about her Views of the Counseling Department she responded, Problems are natural, and people do need help at times. I just hope they know that they have a place to turn and even though we can't cure the problem, we can offer them some affirmation. College counselor, Mrs. O'Neil, pro- vided students and the other counselors with information on colleges. She as- sisted the counselors and faculty by giv- ing them instructions on writing schol- arship and college recommendations. As the financial aid consultant, Mrs. O'Neil explained the complicated array of financial aid forms and scholarship material to students and parents. Mrs. OlNeil attended conferences in order to keep up on college requirements and changes in their programs. She also commented, I enjoy a student's excite- ment when they are accepted into the college of their choice. Some of Mrs. O'Neil's biggest projects were planning college night and publishing a newslet- ter to acquaint juniors and seniors with opportunities after high school. The counselors worked with students according to homerooms. Their job in- cluded working with schedules, pro- gress reports, and report cards. Aside from performing these tasks, they were also on the faculty roster as teachers. They always found time to try to meet the personal needs of the students de- spite the shortage of time in a day. Personal and academic counselors worked hard for the students' best in- terests. They tried to teach them how to make their own decisions by carefully balancing emotions and practicality. Ultimately, the counseling experience was beneficial to both sides.

Teach IVle Knowledge What is science? The for- mal definitions are: 1. a knowledge of facts and laws arranged in an orderly sys- tem 2. a branch of such knowledge 3. a skill, a tech- nique and 4. the search for truth. Sr. Lorita, head of the Science Department, said that the goal of the depart- ment was, to teach the pro- cess of science not just the facts, to involve students in the learning process of hands on experimentation, to teach students to analyze and think critically, and fi- nally, to teach the scientific method used in Koh joyll later sciences. At least two years of sci- ence were required for gradu- ation. One course was taken freshman year, Introduction to Earth Science, Earth Sci- ence, or Introduction to Physical Science. The second course was Biology, taken ei- ther sophomore or junior year. Once the two selected courses were completed, a student could choose to go on to Chemistry or tGod-will- ingj Honors Chemistry. After completing Chemistry, some students advanced to Physics, Human Physiology, and Introduction to Human Anatomy. Science asks the students to learn, to think, to ask questions, and to use meth- ods of education not used in other subjects-for example, experimentation and hands- on activities, said Mr. Brian Miller. Experiments ranged from flipping coins to deter- mine probability to building your own alien for a specified planet. Yes, science classes were demanding and hard to ace. One had to have patience and the will to succeed. Sometimes it was hard to Mr. Dave Medina explains the up- coming lab.

Leona Lemeiie Mrs. Barbara Meraz :endance Office Bookkeeper During the summer a pilot adminis- trative computer system was intro- duced to the campus. The system's functions were meant to improve the efficiency of the school tremendously. Not only was it cost-efficient, but pro- cessing information at school rather than resorting to outside services, made the school more independent as well. Future plans were also made to further assist administration by expanding the computer system. The program to computerize the school was actually started as a test by the Los Angeles Archdiocese. During the first week of school in September, scheduling did not run smoothly. Mr. Anthony Victoria, Data Processing Ad- ministrator and chairperson of the Computer Department, explained, There were simply too many students who changed their schedules. Because of inexperience with I.B.M. and the new software, we could not interact the attendance file with the schedule file, thus creating confusionf' The computers, which were located in the rear of the attendance office, dealt chiefly with student information. They handled everything, from grades to tardy records, that could be added to student statistics. By owning comput- ers, the cost of processing data was sig- Mrs. Edith Torado Mrs. Lena Vaileio Registrar Bookkeeper Maintenance: Mr. Sai Ojeda, Mr. Jose Gomez, Mr. Sixto Pala- cio, Mrs. Concepcion Pa- lacio, and Mr. Esquivel Zavaia nificantly lowered. Administrative pur- poses such as tuition billing and report cards were processed at school and sent directly to the students' homes. Each student had a personal file in the com- puter that included locker assignments, membership in clubs and organizations, scholarship potential, and even car- pools. The computers allowed the ad- ministrative department to perform tasks that were previously too compli- cated and tedious to do manually. The system, which consisted of four modules, was still considered small- scaled although it revolutionized the method of record-keeping. The school hoped to buy at least two more comput- ers to aid individual departments. Emergency health information and dis- ciplinary records were in the process of being added to personal student files. In all, the computers helped the ad- ministration a great deal, not only be- cause of their capabilities but because of their investment value as well. Their convenience enabled the school to func- tion more efficiently and the addition of new computers in the future could only lead to progress. The project that began as a test for the archdiocese de- veloped successfully into a permanent part of administration and paved the path for technological advancement.

Last spring four outgoing juniors en- tering into their senior year set out with one thing on their mind-to make the 1987-88 school year the best ever. This captivating group included seniors Ollie Cantos, president, Henry Molina, vice president, Tess Escobedo, secretary, and Rodney Injarusorn, treasurer. The Associated Student Body QA.S.B.J was always there to lend a helping hand. Mr. David Medina, sec- ond year Student Council moderator, proved to be hard working and dedi- cated. He coordinated all of the student government activities and when asked about the A.S.B. officers he replied, All of them are responsible, indepen- dant, and dedicated. They constantly go out of their way to help others and the school. President, Ollie Cantos was an inspiration to everybody. His main job was to preside over the Student Council, which consisted of all class of- cers and commissioners. Not having enough time was Ollie's biggest obsta- cle. As stated by him, It's difficult to keep up with the events going ong there's just not enough time to get ev- erything accomplishedf' Working right by Ollie's side was vice president, Hen- ry Molina. Henry is the presiding offi- cer of the Student Senate which includ- ed homeroom and club presidents. He 14lh7lhgf0f Excellence S . B. Teams Up also stood in for Ollie whenever he was not present. Secretary, Tess Escobedo was kept busy typing agendas, letters, and memos, getting people in touch with Mr. Medina, and planning meet- ings. When asked to comment on her job, Tess replied, The job as A.S.B. secretary has been a busy, new, and challenging experience, but it has been a lot of fun. Rodney Injarusorn under- took the job of treasurer. He controlled the A.S.B. funds which included those of clubs and organizations. He also kept track of the income and expenditures for all of these accounts. These four working together created a successful team which accomplished many tasks. Their two biggest successes were the used book sale and the im- provement of school dances. The used book sale generated more income than it had in previous years. Organization was the contributing factor to the suc- cess of the sale. With the addition of the large video screens, refreshments, and the new policy of allowing guest passes for underclassmen at the dances, the attendance and popularity increased tremendously. With a lot of time and effort, the A.S.B. attained their goal. They pro- duced an exciting and memorable year for everybody. O 006' ff 1 fi?

MM Associated Student Body Officers 165 il f Commissioners Get It Done By ulling It Together The commissioners, as part of the Student Council, contributed to the ef- forts to improve school activities. The students that held such positions gave a hand whenever help was needed. They coordinated many of the school func- tions with great concern, pride, and most of all, dedication. Along with hav- ing many responsibilities, having these positions also held a more personal meaning for the commissioners-oppor- tunity. Seniors Gina Gonzales, Stefani Iz- quierdo, Tiffany Rice, and junior Mi- chelle Luna were the Pep commission- ers who proved just how much hard work being a commissioner took. As part of the Pep Squad, they were re- sponsibile for planning the rallies as well as Pep Week. The best part of the job, however, was getting all the stu- dents to cheer at the rallies, which gave them a sense of confidence. The Activities commissioners, senior Alexa Esparza and Matilde Medina, and juniors Miriam Diaz DeLeon, Su- zan Lund, and Jesse Ponce, also had their work cut out for them. They con- ducted the freshman activities, which included the orientation, masses, and elections, until the class had officers of their own. Helping out and getting in- volved were not the only aspects of be- Pep commissioners: Junior Michelle Luna, seniors Gina Gonzales, and Ste- fani Izquierdo.

The Religious Affairs commissioners, seniors Hernani Ledesma, Lissette Ri- bas, Nicole Wurster, and junior Allison Brown, definitely found a way to put good words into action. Every Tuesday, G they organized the class retreats. They also organized the class masses and the A.S.B. retreats. Being a commissioner was a rewarding experience that filled each with a sense of giving. Senior Roger Injarusorn and juniors Christina Bellinghausen, Denise San- doval, and Charmaine Tan were the Academic commissioners who made a big difference in the school. Their greatest responsibility was organizing and conducting the used book sale. The book sale raised money for the A.S.B., which financed many of the school ac- tivities. Helping our fellow students was a really exhilarating feeling. It was great to do something for others instead of yourself, Charmaine expressed. Being a commissioner provided these people with the opportunity to help others and to gain personal growth. Aside from great responsibility and hard work, however, it also meant fun and involvement. l Activities commissioners: fBottom to topjz Senior Alexa Esparza, juni Suzan Lund, Miriam Diaz DeLeon, Jesse Ponce, and senior Matilde Medin nm-.qnu ligious Affairs commissioners: Seniors Nicole Wurster, Lissette Ribas, rnani Ledesma, and iunior Allison Brown.

Some of these jobs included organizing dances, overseeing clubs, informing stu- dents of school functions, and planning athletic activities. Seniors Juan Flores and Michelle Stevenson, and juniors Raquel Lo Ve- tere and Kimberly Maska were in charge of organizing the school dances. This included choosing a theme, getting chaperones, and the right disc jockey. Racquel commented, We wanted the dances to be something special so that the students would look forward to coming. Through their concentrated efforts using video screens, lazer lights, and guest passes for underclassmen, the Dance commissioners were able to greatly increase attendance. Constituting the administration for all the clubs were seniors Katie Foland, Eric Johnson, and Peter Liu, and junior Scott Matlock. They organized club Week and oversaw all club activities.

Athletic commissioners seniors Marti Hoye, Christopher Oropeza, Therese Petrovick, and Kevin Sherwood repre- sented the athletic teams at the Stu- dent Council meetings. They provided information concerning the dates and times for the various athletic events and reported the outcome of such con- tests. One of their biggest projects was organizing the Winter Homecoming. Very sports minded, these four students were definitely on the ball. Efficiently and diligently the Dance, Club, Public Information, and Athletic commissioners did all they could to make the year a successful one. They devoted much of themselves and their time to overseeing the numerous school activities.

Because of the opening of this channel, the average student was able to increase their involvement in school activities. This seemed logical since the organization, consisting of homeroom presidents from all grade levels and club presidents, accomplished their main goal by interacting with all 1773 students through homeroom. Working together enabled the A.S.B. officers, as well as the administration, to find out what students really wanted. According to junior Raymond Watts, Student Senate was a place where all the stu- dents' views were heard. Each member of the team tried their utmost to secure this valuable information from their peers. Feedback was the best method to ac- complish this objective. Regular weekly homerooms provided the main thrust. Mr. David Medina, the Student Senate moderator, stated, Since at homeroom it was peer asking another peer, the stu- dents were not afraid to express their real opinions. The homeroom presi- dents presented ideas for upcoming events. They asked questions on mat- ters such as the Marathon dance and class Masses. It worked because the Une Way T0 Ubtaln Real Uplnions ls To el Personal tution had a say in what happened at their functions. One such function was the Thanksgiving Mass held on Wednesday, November 25, organized by Sister Francette and said by Father Jim Anguiano. The students had asked for a Liturgy in line with their ideas- they received one. Student Senate was a fruitful exper- ience for each member. Junior Floren- cio Umel admitted, Student Senate helped in that it gave me an opportuni- ty to learn leadership skillsf' While the Student Senate was not a perfected or- ganization, in the opinion of most of the members, it was definitely a good way to learn more about responsibility while enjoying the actual work. All of these activities added up to one thing, a more complete year for all the students. Throughout the year, Student Senate strove to bridge the gap between the administration and the rest of the school. Not only did the school benefit, but the people involved did as well. They each developed skills which would prove their value in the course of time. The most important, however, was being able to bring about organiza- tion, cooperation, and communication to all individuals. Who knows?

A few from which to choose were the Lacidem, Recreation, Appetite, and Design fR.A.D.J, Junior Statesmen of America CJ.S.A.J, and Al- gemat clubs. These organizations were a source of developing new friendships. They also offered an alternate dimen- sion to the monotonous life of academ- ics. For those students who wished to en- ter the medical field, or just wanted to help others, Lacidem Club was the one to join. They arranged for a Blood Mo- bile to collect donated blood from the students and faculty. In addition, the club sponsored the Thanksgiving canned food drive to assist the Little Sisters of the Poor. They even orga- nized and offered instructions for Car- dio Pulmonary Resuscitation CC.P.R.J classes. If this organization didn't appeal to the taste of some students, they may have chosen the R.A.D. Club. This club explored such areas as gourmet foods, fashion, interior design, and self im- provement. During the course of the year, they had guest speakers who spoke about experiences in modeling.

Another intersting club was the J .S.A., which was an unbiased student- run mock government. The congress was assembled to promote the under- standing of democratic principles and to develop leadership qualities. These aspirations were accomplished by de- bating over political issues and holding mock-trials. During the holdiay season, they also went Christmas caroling at Beverly Manor to cheer the residents. Algemat was an academic organiza- tion dedicated to the advancement of mathematics.

Lacidem, R.A.D., l.S.A., and A lgemat Clubs 173 Talented Members Exhibit igh Performance During the past year, many talented young people united together to be a part of three talent clubs. These clubs were the Drama Club, the Silver Screen Club, and the Contemporary Talent Club. Each of the clubs dealt with a different aspect of the performing arts and enabled their members to partici- pate in new and exciting experiences. A relatively old but active club was the Drama Club. Its main purpose was to expose its members with a dramatic interest to the field of drama. They achieved this goal through their own productions as well as viewing outside ones. For the first time ever, the Drama Club presented a highly successful vari- ety dinner show at the annual fiesta in October. Their spring production was entitled One Hundred and Ten in the Shaden by Tom James and Harvey Schmit, which was the musical version of the play The Rainmakerf' Club members also received something new this year. Their club moderator, Sandy Roberts, gave them acting lessons. As a result, the Drama Club successfully achieved its goals. Another one of the talent clubs was the Silver Screen Club, one of the lar- gest and most active clubs on campus. With approximately 100 members, the club participated in several different l s . 3 activities. The filming of a movie was a unique project and a first for the school. It took a period of two years to produce this hour long movie entitled Lance Amaterf' which starred senior Kevin Sherwood. The club was also active in other ways. Earning over two hundred dollars by attending the screenings of The Charmings' and Who's the Boss'?, this club offered their members an opportunity to see what the field of film production was truly like. This re- sulted in entertainment as well as edu- cation. The last of these clubs was a rather new group called the Contemporary Talent Club. As junior June Moetului stated, Our club tried to get people to be expressive about their gifts and tal- ents. They also had a new and profit- able idea. Its purpose was to support each other's talents, which gave them confidence and enabled them to grow. Throughout the year, members attend- ed recitals, modeling shows, and perfor- mances of others in the club. They had a very supportive idea and truly helped the many talented people of our school. These three talent clubs provided members with many different and unique experiences, which will last for the rest of their lives. R I fm, f' f. 1 xii If N so if ff are .J .

Some peo- ple say that it has made the world grow smaller. However, effective communi- cation does not only entail transporting messages rapidly. Outstanding commu- nicators have spent many years learn- ing the languages of the world. Yet, the education does not stop here. People must familiarize themselves with the cultures behind the languages in order to attain a complete understanding of the context of that usage. The Spanish Club and the French Club strove to be- come more effective communicators in their respective languages. One of the oldest and most active clubs, the Spanish Club not only en- couraged Hispanics to join, but also stu- dents of diverse cultural heritages. The officers were especially concerned with freshman membership. The younger students learned how the club worked so that they could continue the long standing traditions of this active group. Specifically the goal was to open the doors to a wider perception of Mexican and Latin American cultures. The cultures behind the widely spok- en Spanish language were explored through various outings and activities. The club enjoyed an afternoon at Medi- Language Clubs' Cultura! Appreciation Means As Words formed in Spain during the twelfth cen- tury. At Christmas, they organized the sixteenth annual Toys for Tijuana Christian Service project. Toys were collected in the Spanish classes and the members distributed them in Tijuana on December 19. Junior Sabrina Mon- talvo stated, I especially enjoyed being a member because I liked the trip to Tijuana. The members of this club also went to Olvera Street and Mexican Restaurants. The French Club prided itself in ex- posing its members to the rich French culture. They acquired a taste for French art, drama, and food. The nu- merous activities distinguished it as an- other of the more active clubs. Trips to French movies were popular activities. Members also visited the Norton Simon Museum of Art and planned to attend a performance of the Nutcracker Ballet. As a special activity, they treated their parents to a homemade French meal. The Spanish and French Clubs in- spired their members to go beyond studying the grammar usage of their re- spective languages. They strove to teach the significance of the culture and the people who rely on these languages for communication, which was accom- plished through their different activi- ties. eval Times, which served dinner and re- nv-..,.A.-.'I l,..-A.I,,.. 4.-....-,-.,--.-A... ..-- Spanish Club officers: Sophomore Mark De La Rosa, president: seniors Emma Rodriguez, vice president: Shane Cardenas, secretary: and Laura Cardenas, treasurer. 176 Organizations French Club officers: Juniors Jennifer Kushierz, president: Margaret Gei tie, treasurer: Janeen Maile, vice presidentg and Mrs. Theresa Bonviiti moderator. r ech Club officers Junior Yvette Morales secretary, senior Pat Cici, Senior Zulma Sanchez, sophomore Mark De La Rosa, and junior Gabriel Ramirez fill stockings with toys the week before Christmas.

Spanish, French, Speech, and Band Clubs 177 Urrgrhalify Of New Clubs Offers nique Experiences Unique to the year was the formation of four original, innovative clubs. These included the New Image Association, the Fantasi Club, the Photography Club, and the Cycling Club. The nature of each club attracted members that wanted to develop their interests yet also have new experiences. The New Image Association was basi- cally a very large group of students who gathered together to participate in var- ious recreational activities. The mem- bers went bowling, played volleyball, and had picnics at the beach. On Hal- looween the New Image Association went to Knott's Berry Farm to cele- brate. This offbeat club was formed so that students could get involved outside school functions while becoming more familiar with their classmates. The Fantasi Club was a coalition of fans of the game, Dungeons and Drag- ons. This club was divided into play- groups of four or five people. Junior Jung Lee, a member and officer said, Most of us play Dungeons and Drag- ons because it helps us to think of strat- egies and handle tricky situations bet- ter. The most anticipated event of the Fantasi Club was an elaborate conven- tion for Dungeons and Dragons in Simi Valley. New Image Association officers Cbottom to topb: Seniors Roger Injarusorn, vice presidentg Miles Masatsugu, treasurer: Lester Lam, presidentg Annette Anguiano, secretary: Mr. Ray Lokar, moderatorg and senior Hernani Ledesma, executive director of activities. 178 Organizations The Photography Club's main func- tion was to produce the slides to be shown during the Senior Dinner at the Quiet Cannon Hotel in June. The mem- bers experienced working behind the camera and in the darkroom. Some photographers developed their own in- dividual interests in special effects or abstract photography. Members of the Cycling Club rode their bicycles through Whittier on weekday afternoons and through Pud- dingstone Park on weekends. They also entered races such as the Grapenuts' Festival on November 15. In reflecting on why he enjoys cycling, freshman Eric Karr said facetiously, I can go far- ther and faster on a bicycle than on foot. The group of enthusiastic cyclists included Mr. Randy Dimmitt, Miss Te- resa Velasco, Mr. Ken Johnson, and Mr. Chris Spohn. These four new clubs were represen- tative of the diversity of interests with- in the student body. Perhaps the new clubs set a precedent for future clubs to meet the desires of the student body for other dimensions of school participa- tion. Overall, each club allowed for stu- dents to participate in activities of spe- cialized interest in a social atmosphere and expand their scopes of experience.

They offered prestige to those who strove to do their best aca- demic work. Through N.H.S. and C.S.F., students had the opportunity to serve the community and the school in areas in which they excelled. The National Honor Society had strict membership requirements which were to maintain an average grade of 85176 in their classes as well as to serve the school and the community. N.H.S. members acted as guides for parents at parent-teacher conferences and at Col- lege Night. They also assisted teachers in administering entrance examinations for incoming freshmen. As a national organization, N.H.S. was recognized by colleges throughout the United States, and membership was often influential in attaining college entrance. The California Scholarship Feder- ation was an organization specifically for students who maintained high grades. Generally, members had to ac- quire twelve academic points in order to maintain membership. Students were awarded three points for A,s and one point for B's,'. Extra points were Creetfhg An Atmosphere For tudies And Service awarded for B's in designated honors and Advanced Placement classes. The main activity of C.S.F. was its turoring program. All members were required to tutor because this was the organiza- tion's Christian Service project. Senior Anna Sanchez and junior Robert Bau- tista were the tutoring coordinators. This proved to be quite frustrating at times. According to Robert, there were approximately four tutorees for each tutor. Anna was distressed by the fact that tutors and tutorees sometimes failed to communicate concerning meeting times. Nevertheless, Anna and Robert endured the difficulties of their jobs in order to provide a service for students who were in need of academic assistance. Under the guidance of Miss Virginia Pranik, the honor societies ran smoothly. N.H.S. and C.S.F. served as a forum for the association of students with similar acadmic interests. Members of the two organizations were encouraged to use their academic interests to help others as well as themselves. N.H.S. and C.S.F. also served by contributing time and effort to insure the fluent op- eration of academic events, to help members of the student body in their academic pursuits, and to serve the community through various programs.

The Lance has arrived. Slowlyand almost unnoticed emerged an element of jour- nalistic wonder. The school newspaper, the Lance, made many changes. The many efforts of those involved resulted in an improved newspaper that shined above those of recent years. The staff and reporters worked hard on each is- sue with dedication and cooperation. Mrs. Debbi Myers was the driving force behind the team of students. She ex- claimed, however, that These students were a superb bunch of kids. They helped me out so much. They took the newspaper as a serious job. Students were brought the news about school activities as well as outside functions. The exuberant students met every day at fourth period. They also spent long hours after school. Whether it was time put into photographing sports events or scheduling interviews with students and faculty, their hard work paid off and was most appreciated when they saw the smiling faces of those who read the newspaper. Senior Carolyn Farell stated Working on the Lance was fun and exciting. Towards our deadlines things would get very room. In past years, Mrs. Myers' speech room was used as home to the newspa- per publication. This time another class was scheduled in that room. For the first few months of school, these roving reporters became roving students. The campus ministry center became their temporary home. Even though it was crowded, each had to cooperate and work together as a team. They were also patient as they looked foward to the new buildings planned to be built, a permanent home. Another major concern was the avail- ability of funds. The newspaper staff struggled to keep their heads afloat. It was not easy to make ends meet since the newspaper was not sold. One souce of financing was through the selling of business and personal ads. The journalism class proved to be a success. You really got to know each and every one of the staff members. We became a family, senior Leory Blea ex- claimed. Students found a way to use their basic knowledge and English skills and to work on something they all enjoyed while still having fun. Senior Katie Foland mentiond, There is nothing better than the feeling of see- ing what you've written in print.

Only there could students voice their opinions freely and openly without being quiet- ed. Speech class also helped them to learn new speaking techniques as well as to perfect their own. This experience was what helped members of the Speech Squad to be successful in their tournaments. Over the past five years, the Speech Squad grew from being almost non-ex- istent to over twenty active members. They were led by their dedicated coach and coordinator, Mrs. Debi Myers, along with their president, senior Pat Cici, vice president, junior John Alar- con, secretary, junior Yvette Morales, and treasurer, senior Hernani Ledesma. Of the active members on the squad, most were juniors and seniors, with some sophomores and freshmen. A major part of being an active mem- ber of the speech squad involved com- peting at various tournaments through- out the year. These tournaments usual- ly averaged about two every month and were held at different schools. Each tournament had approximately a hun- dred students from all the schools par- ticipating.

Countless awards and trophies were won throughout the year by many of the members. Students did well in competition because they were able to choose their own topics on which to speak. Some of the more popular topics were abortion and capital punish- ment, while how to make a friend ffor the humorous categoryl, and the history of Disney were among the many award-winning speeches. The Speech Squad could not have succeeded so well without the help of their coach, Mrs. Myers. She excitedly expressed, I love them! They are won- derful to work with, and I always learn new things whenever I am around them? Likewise, her students appreci- ated her. Speech squad member and ju- nior Tesla Parrales related, Mrs. Myers is a beautiful, strong, and posi- tive leader who also brings out her stu- dents' best qualities. The future of the Speech Squad ap- peared to be just as promising as the past was successful. Mrs. Myers ob- served, In the past I was mostly con- cerned with winning certain awards. Now I just want it to be a good learning experience for the kids. When they are in a good mood, they win! Such a posi- tive outlook was shared by everyone on the speech squad and reflected a very positive future. ee bs f X X. if We rs he yin!!- a dge at the St. Paul Speech Tournament exci- congratulates senior Ollie Cantos on his Speech.

Under the direction of first year band director Mr. Victor Rodriguez, the band kicked off the year with spectacular and dazzling half-time shows. The stu- dents did an excellent job in their per- formances showing not only their tal- ent in music but also in coordination and precision, Mr. Rodriguez proudly remarked. The shows were designed by Mr. Stephen Kelley, the father of soph- omore Sean Kelley, who unselfishly donated his time and effort in building up the band. Mr. Kelley was an inspi- ration to us all because of his hard work and dedication. When we were tired and feeling low, his optimism picked us up and helped in our performance, stated senior Lety Sanchez. With the completion of the football season, the band then began practicing for the Covina Christmas Parade. Ju- nior Michelle Dino stated, The parade in Covina was full of fun and a unique experience. After the event, a dance was held for all the schools that participat- ed, which was such a blast that I forgot about all the weeks of preparation the parade took. The band was an organization that Golden Lancer Band: Front row: Moses Dela Cerda, Elise Beliveau, Thomas Pitchford, Bill Higgins, Veronica Sanchez, Michele Baray, Vo Cheng, Ivan Dalisay, Second row: Steven DeLira, Rebecca Hernandez, Lety Sanchez, Kelly Younger, Lupe Sanchez, Jan Potokom, Jennie Mairena.

It was composed of 36 members who partci- pated in various school sport events, concerts, and parades. Junior Gina Ra- mos, the drum major stated, I enjoyed being a recognized leader of the band and was glad to contribute my time and talent to Bishop Amat where I gained so muchf' Mr. Rodriguez felt that most students joined and participated be- cause of their love for music and also as a means to fulfill their club require- ment. The officers of the band were ju- nior Angel Prado, president, junior Mi- chelle Dino, vice president, senior Lety Sanchez, secretaryg and junior Lupe Sanchez, treasurer. They were the lead- ers who organized parties, outings, and their Christian Service project, which was a performance at a local convales- cent hospital. Senior John Vasquez expressed, The band offered us a way to meet other fellow classmates. Even some of my strongest friendships were formed as a result of having to practice for hours with the same people. Compared to oth- ers who weren't involved in extra cur- ricular activities, I had an advantage to meet people who had similar interestsf, Thus, the band united many lasting friendships for its members.

The Lan- cerette drill team was a group of girls who danced and performed to their heart's content. The crowd was speech- less and filled with awe every time the team appeared in their beautiful, glit- tering uniforms on the field to begin their routine. Moving to the beat of popular songs, the girls smiled and moved with exact precision up and down the field. A team of fifty members headed by the two captains, juniors Jennifer Bud- mon and Cindy Metz, and supervised by Mrs. Rita Rodriquez, these dedi- cated girls practiced everyday perfect- ing their timing and precision, which was essential to the high grade of per- formance that was executed for the crowd. Devoting much time and energy to strenuous practices was the key to their success. This required eVeryone's full attention and cooperation. Follow- ing a creative preformance, the girls re- alized the hard work was well worth it. The captains did an excellent job of keeping the girls organized and friends.

I was proud to lead them and set an example as someone on whom they could rely. Jennifer acclaimed, It was an honor and a privilege to be a captain. It took dedication and patience. I en- joyed what I was doing at the same time I tried to be a friend to all the girls. This friendship really helped and kept the girls together even during the hard times when it wasn't always easy to get along. The Lancerettes was a part of the performing arts department, along with the Golden Lancer Band and Tall Flags. These units practiced together and also performed together at Various parades and school functions. The drill team also competed in a competition at Arroyo High School where they placed fourth in the overall competition. Dur- ing the summer, they learned some new moves and how to jazz up old ones. The Lancerette drill team gave the girls a chance to express themselves creatively. They were rewarded for their many hours of practice when the parents and students acknowledged their ability to perform well during games and competition.

From yelling at a football game to cheering for the basketball team, they ceaselessly attempted to achieve this goal. Of course, this phenomenon occurred only after much hard work and dedicaton. Junior Stephanie Breen explained, Being a part of this squad meant taking on new responsibilities, as well as new challenges. Cheering our teams to victory was a job which require much committment. Dedication was a requirement for all Song Squad members. This meant stay- ing at school for extended amounts of time, going to as many home and away games as possible, and practicing on weekends. It was true that the time in- volved interfered With many other im- portant things such as school work and social activities. Yet, the general atti- tude of the group was one of good spirit, enthusiasm, and a willingness to appor- tion their time. Even summer vacations required dai- ly morning practices which eliminated the opportunity to have a job or just rest from the rigors of school. Despite all of this, the ordinary student did not realize the work and effort put forth by this talented group.

Since we were a limited squad, it made the task more difficultf' She also added, Often, all this Work took even- ings which made keeping up with school work, song and dance practice, and a social life truly difficult. Inspite of the difficulties, each member enjoyed being a part of this group. There were adjustments to be made early on. Most of the girls were not used to the new pressures. Each Song Squad member was expected to perform their duties while coping with normal stu- dent problems. The new time manage- ment was not the only difficulty. They had to cheer in front of everyone re- gardless of whether they were in a good or bad mood. The job had to be done with a smile. The Song Leading Squad was special not only to the members, but also to the rest of the school. They helped bring about more enthusiasm when it was really needed. The experience also de- veloped a sense of discipline and re- sponsibility among the members.

But what fans didn't realize was that hours of practice were required to per- form cheers so precisely. Junior Janine Ochotorena, member of the squad, ex- claimed, The most frustrating thing about being in cheerleading was that we always had to be on hand. There were often last minute changes of places, days, and games. Practice lasted everyday after school until 4:00 p.m. Long after most students went home to begin their homework, the cheerleaders were perfecting their routines to make each more precise. During the summer, the girls attended Sharp All-American Camp, where they took second place in competition and evaluation. Often times it was difficult to work up enough energy to practice the same cheer over and over again. Time was cut short due to after school practices, cheering at games, and getting home- work completed. Thus, their social ac- tivities had to be minimized in order for them to be truly dedicated. However, as leaders on campus, Varsity Cheer- leaders displayed school spirit by mak- ing posters and banners, organizing ral- lies, and selling ribbons. Since the squad spent so much time 1 Varsity Cheer Qbottom to topy Janine Ochotorena, Nicole Sullivan, captaing Claire McCallion, Wendy Phillips, Patricia Guzman. captaing Adriana Villalo- bos, Robyn Romyn, Jason Borens, Caprice Bourret, Cathy Lemelle, and Annette Sanchez. 194 Organizations ' J, -fe, R I Varsliy Cheerleaders Promote A hole Lotta Hoopla together practicing and performing, a natural comradeship developed be- tween them.

Senior Nicole Sullivan, expressed the memories of friendship for the squad, We have no problems because everyone gets along really well. The nights before competi- tion we stay at someone's house and talk and laugh all night. I love cheering at games, especially when we win! For a squad to perform so well and stick together, they had to have great leaders. Mrs. Susan Marquez, modera- tor, who was also a cheerleader during her high school days at Bishop Amat, was a dedicated friend as well as consul- tant. She always had suggestions and ideas which benefitted the squad. Sen- iors Patti Guzman and Nicole Sullivan, who were both the captains, combined their talents to choreograph routines that best complemented the squads athletic ability. Pep rallies gave Varsity Cheerleaders the opportunity to per- form in front of the entire student body and at the same time, gave students a chance to express their school spirit through their participation in the cheers.

Varsity Cheer 195 4' X 1 ,aft , M15 QB x -i The Junior Varsity Cheerleading Squad consisted of all sophomores who were the spirit makers for lower level teams. The members enjoyed an excit- ing season beginning in the summer when they attended Hibbard's All American Camp. They were awarded with the Spirit Jug, second place in evaluation, third place in competition, and many individual awards. The squad found that many special rewards were gained not only from competi- tions, but by being part of the squad itself. Along with meeting new friends, and demonstrating good sportsman- ship, sophomore Jennifer Jovel stated, I learned to communicate and relate well to others, especially people I didn't know. When I first made the squad I felt really embarrassed to cheer in front of people, but after a while I became used to it, so I guess you could say that being a J.V. Cheerleader helped me to overcome my shynessf' Every member seemed to have felt the same way in the beginning. The squad could be seen in action at every junior varsity game giving sup- port and promoting spirit. J.V. Cheer- leaders made sure that each team was given full coverage. When asked how she felt about not being able to cheer at the varsity football games, sophomore Marsha Chavarria, co-captain, ex- Q Sophomores Become pi rit Makers plained, Not being able to cheer at the varsity games really didn't affect me until we attended the C.I.F. playoffs. Then I realized what a privilege it was to cheer out therein The Junior Varsity Cheerleading Squad was allowed to at- tend the C.I.F. playoffs to add more enthusiasm and give extra support. Each girl was chosen for the squad because she was capable of promoting school spirit. Learning how to do this took long, hard hours of grueling prac tice early every summer morning, and everyday after school. Those students who took summer school saw the girls at work from ten to twelve each morn ing. Sophomore Brenda Wisniewski thought the long practices were the most frustrating thing about being on the squad. Most of the girls agreed that practicing, along with schoolwork did take a great deal of their free time, but after doing well in a competition they realized it was all worth it. The enthusiasm and spirit of the girls never ceased to amaze the crowds. Even though being on Junior Varsity Cheer kept their schedules full, each member enjoyed giving their all at every game The friendship, fun, and laughter shared by the girls during the year cre ated memories which would last a life- time. as J.V.

Junior Varsity Cheer 197 The Pep Flag Twirlers had high am- bitions and hopes, which they set for themselves at the beginning of the year. This group of girls grew to know and love each other during the time they spent together practicing and perform- ing. Although they may have been strangers when they were chosen to be on squad, they were now inseparable. They were ready to make this year a year to remember for everyone. Flag twirling required much strenu- ous arm movement and strength devel- oping the muscles in the upper arms. It also required muscle coordination and great flexibility in the arms, hands, and wrists. Junior Kristen Mullins ex- pressed her thoughts about the squad by saying, Flag twirling involves a great amount of practice and hard work. We all have to be in synchroniza- tion with each other. Supporting the sports teams as well as performing at rallies was a major re- quirement for the flag team. Not all the girls went to all the games, but they were split into groups A and B by their moderator, Mrs. Susan Marquez. Each team was assigned a different game to attend during the week. All the squads performed together at the varsity foot- ball games. This required coordination with other members of the Pep Squad. At the rallies, the flag squad stood on Pep Flag Twirlers uild U n ity their boxes and encouraged class spirit during competitions. They also per- formed in skits, which were created by the Pep Squad to fill the crowd with excitement and sometimes even laugh- ter. This laughter helped to ease the tension of an important game to be played that evening. During the summer, the girls attend- ed Hibbard's All American Camp where they learned new routines and per- formed and perfected old ones to show the other squads. Competition at the end of the week saw the squad place second and win the sweepstakes award. On December 12, they traveled to Ar- royo High School in El Monte to com- pete in a competition. Their goal at this competition, as stated by senior Me- lanie Ehrenreich was, . . . to beat Channel Islands, another high school flag team that was very good. If we don't beat them, we at least want to place within the competition? Al- though they didn't beat Channel Is- lands, the squad came in second place and Melanie took second place in indi- vidual competition. They hoped to do as well in state competition and maybe even better. The Pep Flag Twirlers achieved their goals through unity and togetherness.

Pep Flag Twirlers 199 Christian service was one of the main projects gra- ciously accepted by students which made Bishop Amat so unique. Opportunities for service were diverse and re- quired different gifts. Not only did the volunteers need the ability to listen and re- late well, they also had to be willing to use their gifts in caring for the abused, men- tally incapacitated, and the elderly. It was these people who took the responsibity of looking out for God's chil- dren as he challenged us all to do. A good heart and a lit- tle patience was all it took. Service opportunities ben- ifitted the volunteers just as much as the people they served. It was very rewarding to work with people and bring some happiness and se- curity to their lives.

Outreach Z The WHY T0 B' though stressful at times, the more involved that one be- came, the more meaningful the tasks were even if that task was merely playing a game of checkers. Students participating in the activity also found that each person that they helped had their own personality and gifts as well as abilities of their own that they longed to share. The volunteers found that these misunderstood people were of great worth to society because they were able to touch the hearts of those around them in simple and uncomplicated ways. Love was the commodity that was traded in the relationships. As students shared them- selves with their new found friends, they proved that in Christian love, WE'VE GOT THE TOUCH! . .. I now formally state my commitment to remain drug free and alcohol free throughout my involvement with the program . . . reads the official Friend to Friend pledge. Although this was only the second year of op- eration at Bishop Amat, Friend to Friend competed in school support with other schools in the vicinity that were well under way with the program. Organized and run by president, senior Mary Montgomery and vice presi- dent, senior Adrienne Tolle, a new interest was sparked in the club as well as the ideals behind it. Mary's organiza- tional skills won her a place as a director in the central office of Friend to Friend. The goal of this group was to encourage teenagers steer themselves away frd alcohol and drugs and real: that they could have f without the use of these sr stances.

All w worthwhile experiences. There's Need Of The Fourth Command- ment states that you should honor your father and your mother. This includes grand- parents as well.Sadly enough, not everybody fulfills this re- sponsibility. Elderly Folks have needs just like everyone else, one of which is to main- tain their self-respect. They have suffered the loss of per- sonal ties and are lonely of- ten feeling ignored, rejected, and dejected. Some are called upon to make adjust- ments to drastic and often tragic changes in their per- sonal lives. They are afraid of old age, being alone, ill- ness, not having enough money, or being pushed around. Many people don't realize that the elderly are vital human beings. They have certain incapacities, but they can develop existing ca- pacities to lead a productive and rewarding life. For the residents of Golden Age and Beverly Manor Covalescent Homes, there was not always someone with which to share it. For most of them, having a new grandchild provided that important someone in their life. This special need was ful- filled by the Adopt-A- Grandparent program which is an intergenerational pro- gram whereby young people reach out in friendship to the elderly in convalescent homes. The major emphasis of the program is to develop a positive attitude toward ag- ing. Students visited their adopted grandparents after Love school on the first and third Fridays of each month. Grandchildren and their newly adopted grandparents spent cherished moments doing various activities. Chatting and listening were integral parts of the volun- teer's job. Through listening the volunteers rekindled in- terests that their grandpar- ents once had. Students shared fun by playing simple familiar games such as checkers, jigsaw puzzles, Bingo, sing-alongs, and cards. In addition, watching television and movies to- gether or wheeling grandpar- ents around the complex, all helped to enrich stronger lasting bonds between the grandparent and grandchild. 200 Organizations Chatting with grandparents i: pleasant activity for junior Rot Elder.

Friend to Friend was an organization for anyone who realized the value of life and wished to express to others that life without drugs and alcohol could be absolutely wonderful. Service Breeds Assurance Located not far from the school on Tonopah Street in La Puente was a small school for the physically and men- tally disabled. It was a fairly new addition to the Chris- tian service scene. Though not as well known as other projects of the Christian Ser- vice Program, Tonopah was nonetheless every bit as im- portant. What counted was that it helped people, it did not matter how many. Twice a week, Christian Service students traveled to Tonopah School to help the people there in working with the disabled students. Though technically an ele- mentary school, Tonopah's students ranged from be- tween five and twenty years of age, with varying degrees of mental and physical handicaps which had to be taught using different meth- ods. Christian Service workers aided these students in learning basic educational skills as well as helping them perform physical activities and exercises. They taught the disabled in simple memorization and recall, such as identifying colors, numbers, and the alphabet. They were also taught addi- tion and subtraction, and were challenged by such things as picture games and puzzles. Physical activities included playing in a romp- er-like room and exercising on jungle gym and trampo- lines. This provided a festive atmosphere as well as learn- ing opportunities. The Chris- tian Service workers encour- aged and taught the disabled to exercise, for it was impor- tant in maintaining a healthy state of mind as well as a healthy body. Working at Tonopah was not easy. Christian Service members had to work with each disabled student indi- vidually and know his or her personality, needs, and what specifically it took to moti- vate the students. It took lots of patience, understanding and compassion for these students to work with the handicapped, but it was worth it. I got a lot out of Tonopah, said junior Rob- ert Elder, I learned to see life the way they fthe disa- bledl see it, and I learned to really care. e-...fir Peers Serve One For those who felt de- pressed or lonely land that's just about everyone at one time or anotheri Peer Con- nection was there to help. This was a ministry group of young people organized to help other students cope with their problems when they felt they had no one else to turn to. After all who bet- ter to understand teenagers and their problems than oth- er teenagers who face the same problems. The goals of Peer Connec- tion were to have students reach out to one another in true friendship and to let others know there was al- ways someone who would lis- ten to them and care about them. I joined Peer Connec- tion because I know how it feels to need someone to talk to and I wanted to be there to help others, stated junior Joe Roybal. In the summer of 1984, Peer Connection was born under the direction of Mr. Anthony Victoria and Ms. Ellen Ybarra who conducted the training process once a week for 13 weeks. During these sessions, interested students were taught how to better communicate and lis- ten to others. Ms. Ybarra commented, The training that the students received was something that could be used in everyday life. Every- one, regardless of age, should learn the skills of communi- cation and how to be a good listener. Peer Connection members had a special relationship be- cause of the intimacy shared Another within the meetings. Because such conversations were kept confidential, members of Peer Connection, as well as the students they helped, de- veloped a bond of trust and friendship. Members were usually available before school, at break, and after school in the Campus Ministry room. In cases of emergency they could even be called out of class if necessary. Ministers in Peer Connec- tion were not there to solve individual's problems, they were there to listen and help others help themselves to solve their own problems. This is necessary to mature emotionally and grow as a person. Christian Service 20 202 Organizations Joy Found In Teaching Every Tuesday, Wednes- day, and Thursday during sixth and seventh periods, a group of students traveled to Delhaven Learning Center for the developmentally dis- abled in La Puente. These students were members of the Christian Service class. They often escaped notice due to the fact that they were absent from campus at least two hours per week. Three different groups as- sisted in activities at Delha- ven. Each group was as- signed to a different day of the week. These students were involved in expanding the horizons of the residents at Delhaven, most of whom were between the ages of eighteen and thirty. The vol- unteers helped them to per- form activities such as arts and crafts, which were a ma- jor part of the instructional Decorating Christmas cards is a fun project for Rebecca Reyes and her friend to share. The trick was to provide learning experiences that were fun as well. activities. The students helped the residents to cre- ate Christmas ornaments as well as other seasonal pro- jects and assisted in the preparation of arts and crafts for an open house presenta- tion. Other activities includ- ed sewing, gardening, cook- ing, and aerobics. Volunteers were a key part of the success of all of the activities since residents needed much su- pervision. Students who attended Delhaven for Christian Ser- vice activities had various motives for their participa- tion. Most were inspired by a desire to assist those with learning disabilities. Delha- ven volunteers quickly real- ized the value of every hu- man being. They saw that each person had special tal- ents unique to that individ- ual. They were grateful for the opportunity to share God's love with others. Christian Service provided an opportunity for one to ap- preciate individual worth and to thereby gain an un- derstanding of the relation- ships among people. Junior Patricia Brown embodied this idea when she stated, They fthe residents of Del- havenj are teaching me something, too. It also con- firmed the belief that every- one has worth. No matter what their capacity, they af- fect people in different ways. Most of the students en- joyed performing Christian Service at Delhaven. They found that it was satisfying to help young adults to put their abilities to work. The students were pleased to see the results of their efforts to make others happy. Sorting buttons holds a challenge for junior Roxanne Beltran and her special friend. Activities were avail- able on different levels. Students instill Spirit The Christrian Service program offered the students a way to participate in ser- vice within the community and follow the example initi- ated by Christ to serve oth- ers. One of the various pro- grams offered to students in their sophomore through senior year was to volunteer at Lanterman State Hospi- tal. Taking place every first and third Sunday of each month, fifteen to twenty stu- dents went to Lanterman State Hospital in christian love to escort the develop- mentally disabled to Mass and help them participate in the liturgy. Lanterman State Hospital located in Pomona is funded by the state for the treat- ment of those who are devel- opmentally disabled due to Downs Syndrome. This fa- cility offered care for those who were severely or pro- foundly retarded and there fore could not provide suffi- cient care for themselves. At the hospital, around the clock care was provided by qualified and caring nurses and physicians. Senior Diem Pham, an ac- tive participant stated, I en- joyed going to Lanterman because it offered me a way to share myself with those who are less fortunate. Since I didn't have a job and there- fore couldn't donate money to the church, Lanterman was the perfect way to help the people of Christ. It gave an opportunity to share the Christian faith. The participants of the program met at school on the first and third Sundays, ar- ranged carpools and drove over together. Upon arriving at the facility, the volunteers went to the various units where the patients were waiting. Each student took one patient and escorted them to Mass. They sang along with the patients, clapped their hands and did everything possible to create a mood of happiness. At the time of petitions, the pa- tients often would offer their own petitions held as impor- tant to them. According to participating students, Lanterman re- minded them to be grateful for what God had granted them. Senior Zulma Sanchez commented, I obtained a feeling of satisfaction and achieved something special and unique just by donating three hours twice a month. After going just once, I couldn't wait to go again. Just seeing the patients' faces light up because of our presence was enough to make us want to come back every Sunday. Sharing Promotes Trust What better way to spend a Saturday morning than showing others that you care? The second and forth Saturday of each month, stu- dents volunteered their time to do just that at MacLaren Hall children center in El Monte. This was a facility that cared for children with such problems as abandonment, abuse, delinquency, drug and alcohal problems, or other such legal situations that left them homeless. The age range covered all children from infancy to late teens, and their time of residency depended on their situation. Volunteer visits consisted of two parts. The first part took place in the gymnasium where either a Mass or a liturgy service was celebrated depending on the avilability of a priest. The duties of the volunteers included setting up the chairs for the congregation twhich varied in size from week to weekl and small al- tar as well as decorating it, leading the singing involved in the service, and cleaning up the gymnasium at the conclusion of the service. Next the volunteers vis- ited the nursery, where the babies and toddlers resided. Students assisted the Mac- Laren employees at doing one of two jobs. Part of the group stayed in the nursery and played with the younger babies while the others went to a small play area outside the nursery and played and talked with the older chil- dren. MacLaren Hall was just one of the major Christian service activities offered to all students. When asked why she chose to go, junior Sonia Morales explained, I liked going to MacLaren Hall because it gave the kids a chance to communicate with people outside of their environment and let them know somebody cared about them. This service activity was a good way to learn to appreci- ate the benefits most of us take for granted-a home, a family, and friends. For the kids at MacLaren Hall, these things were sometimes miss- ing in their lives. It was the job of the volunteers to re- store in the children a cer- tain element of trust in soci- ety and renewed self-assur- ance and give them a good role model.

Fans Go One Step Beyond- When the team loses, we have our share of the disap- pointment too. We,re not just spectators, but a part of the action as well. Kristine Kasianovitz Loyal, enthusiastic, and de- voted were just a few character- istics that could be attributed to one of the most important parts of the sports seasons. The source of support, encourage- ment, and motivation, these special individuals were what kept the teams going even when victory seemed far out of reach. Formally known as the Bishop Amat fans, these players of a different kind of sport, pos- sessed quite a unique talent of their own. Attending the games through thick and thin, the fans certain- ly knew the meaning of the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. As expressed by ju- nior Kristine Kasianovitz, When our team loses, we have our share of the disappoint- ment too. We're notjust specta- tors, but a part of the action as well. The greatest test to their loyalty was at the Mater Dei and Bishop Montgomery foot- ball games. Although the fans were soaking wet and cold from the downpouring rain, their spirit and enthusiasm kept their spark alive. However, the fans were not only sports mind- ed. Aside from the athletic games, they were also very sup- portive of all areas of the educa- tion process. As expressed by junior Brooke Wright, 4'Being a fan didn't just mean cheering for sports. Supporting the aca- demics and the unity of the school was just as important. We support the entire school, not just one aspect of it. The term fan didn,t just ap- ply to the students either. Teachers as well as parents were very supportive of the school too. At times more spir- ited than the students, they knew exactly what Bishop Amat was all about. The meaning of being a fan was determined by unity and willingness to go through any test, rain or shine, in order to show spirit. However, their true worth was brought out in their appreciation for the athletes of the teams, whether academic or athletic, even when they exper- ienced defeat. The fans had that special spunk that kept the athletes striving to fully do their best. Lancer Lunatics, juniors Doug Ramos, Manuel Delgado, and Adam Rogers intently watch the action of the basketball game.

June Moetului History was made- by the Girls Varsity Volleyball team as they had their most success- ful season ever. Their league re- cord of three and seven placed them fourth in the Angelus League tying them with two other teams for a wildcard posi- in the play-offs. The deci- was made by the toss of a Bishop Amat won the first but lost the second. tion sion coin. toss, The team, undefeated in pre- league, performed well in tour- naments taking first place at the Cal HighfLa Serna Tourna- ment and placing fifth in the Colton Desert Classic. This out- standing season was somewhat clouded due to the injuries of two key players, seniors Anna Pablo and Tisha Martinez, who were unable to play a good part of the season. Had these girls been healthy the team may have been more successful. Several key individuals de- served special recognition. Ju- nior Christine Romero aver- aged 1'7.1 kills per game and re- ceived the honor of being named Tournament Most Valu- able Player at Cal HighfLa Serna Tournament. Senior Anna Pablo, credited with 15.3 assists per game, was named to the All Tournament team at the Cal HighfLa Serna Tourna- ment. Although they were a powerful force, every player contributed greatly. The main ingredient to the team's success did not lie in the efforts of one or two players but in the determination of every girl to give her all. This deter- mination was shown when the team played Mater Dei. The girls had decided if they did not win, they would at least make top ranked Mater Dei fight for the win. Senior Anna Pablo said, No one thought we would last more than three games against Mater Dei, but we proved them wrong. We took the match out to five games. We lost, but we gave them a good fight and earned some respect at the same time. Dedication, hardwork, and encouragement from Coach Patti Groff and fans were influ- ential in making the Girls Var- sity Volleybal season a tremen- dous success.

Volleyball season brought a great deal of satisfaction to the Girls Junior Varsity Volleyball team. After a summer of rigor- ous workouts, the girls fought for and earned a winning re- cord. Undefeated in pre-league games, they were even in league. The season was high- lighted by the team's victory over undefeated Mater Dei, bringing great satisfaction and pride to the girls. Sophomore Heather Tubal said, Beating Mater Dei built our self-confi- dence and showed that we had really improved since the be- ginning of the season. The team felt that two im- portant factors in helping to create a winning season were unity and Coach Brian Math- ews, motivation of his girls. Sophomore Jennifer Coleman said, Our team became more unified toward the end of the season. This really helped us win. When we worked together we had more fun and played better. This unity, however, would never have been achieved if skills had not been developed. Sophomore Jennifer Ozwald said, Coach Mathews Liz Hincapie always pushed us at practice. He made us see just how good we could be and made us want to reach our potential. Some girls received special recognition for ability, spirit, and hard work. The recipients of these honors were chosen by the team. Sophomore Candice Howard received Most Valu- able Player award for her abilities on the court. Sopho- more Heather Tubal was voted Most Inspirational Playerv for her positive attitude which of- ten kept the team going. The Coach's Award was given to Sophomore Nola Magno for her positive attitude and dedica- tion. The final award given was the Most Improved Player award and went to Michelle Garcia who earned herself a starting position. Although not every girl re- ceived special recognition, all of the girls played an important role on the team. Every one of them shared in a special exper- ience. Sophomore Liz Hincapie commented, It was a lot of fun winning, but the best part was the new friends I made. if lunior Varsity Volleyball Sacred Heart won La Puente won La Canada won A Northview won e Paramount won I Wilson won 'Pius X won 'Saint Joseph lost 'Bishop Montgomery lost 'Mater Dei won Saint Paul lost 'Pius X won 'St. Joseph won 'Bishop Montgomery lost 'Saint Paul won iMater Dei lost Overall Record: 11 wins 5 losses 'f Indicates Angelus League Colton Tournament 8th place Front row: Nola Magno, Danny Martinez.

Felicia Nava Although the Girls Fresh- man Volleyball team did not have a winning season, they proved that adding a fresh- man level team to the girls' volleyball program was worthwhile. The team split pre-league games evenly be- tween wins and losses, begin- ning the season with a two and two record. Unfortu- nately, league competition was more fierce. As a result their league record was two wins and eight losses. Their two wins were against the Mater Dei Monarchs. Jenni- fer Macias reflected on these wins, Beating Mater Dei was great. We were really ex- cited about winningf' These, however, were their only league victories resulting in an overall record of four wins and ten losses. Even though one would not think the season success- ful in looking at their record, the girls learned a great deal over the course of the season. This learning was primarily due to Coach Fr. Jim An- guiano, who pushed his team to do their best at all times. Dolores Daveron comment- ed, We really appreciated the time he dedicated to us, even though he often made us angry. Not only did the girls develop essential vol- leyball skills such as passing and hitting, but they also gained experience which will be beneficial in the future. The girls learned how to work with others and how to keep egos and tempers under control while under stress. All of the girls were dedi- cated to and enthusiastic about the team. Felicia N ava said, This year was great, but next year will be even better. With the addition of the girls' freshman team, the girls' volleyball program greatly advanced. Playing on the freshman team prepared the girls to continue on into the more competative levels of junior varsity and varsity. Girls Freshman Volleyball ' Los Altos won .

Mazio Royster Before the beginning of the season, there were many doubts about just how well the Varsity Football team would do. This was the general attitude of peo- ple both from within and out- side of the school. The players were not the biggest players in the league, nor did they seem to have an impressively talented lineup. Head coach Mark Pa- rades was the first to admit this. There were many ques- tion marks at the beginning of the year, and only time would tell just how well the team would perform, he said. 4'We made up for our ilack ofl size with determinationf' com- mented Rod Fermin. Yet despite all this, the team once more came out on top. Ending the season as Angeles League Champions for the third year in a row they swept through their games undefeat- ed, making it to the C.I.F. quar- ter finals before being upset. The key to the team's success was simple-teamwork. Kevin Szalonek remarked, Everyone pulled together. We had to be- cause there was no one big su- perstar player to support the team. Indeed, without many seasoned veterans or star play- ers, the only Way to overcome their potential weaknessess was to exploit all of the team's strengths. It was this teamwork which made up for the team's weak points. The players' determination was evident in their perfor- mance on the field. The offense always made consistent gains. We were very productive this year and had a balanced attack offensively, said Marlon Sin- gleton. Meanwhile, the defense worked with great effective- ness, compensating for their lack of size with speed, perse- verence, and guts. This showed up in wins of 41-24 over Saint Bernards, 34-0 over Servite, 21- 14 against Bishop Montgomery, 25-12 over Mater Dei, and 17-7 against St. Paul. The varsity team showed that through teamwork, dedica- tion, and most of all, heart, they could be the best. And though they were beaten in the second round of playoffs, noth- ing could take away the pride they had in the school and in one another. al nnllunuul 1 I in u u lu ll ' 1 I Varsity Football I . .

After our first win-we never looked back. Coach Jim Terrey Throughout the ten week du- ration of the football season, the Sophomore Football team logged a year full of accom- plishments. Coming back from two loses in the pre-season, the team racked up a number of victories, finishing with a six win and four loss record overall, and a four win and one loss re- cord in league play, placing sec- ond in the Angelus League. Though handicapped by the loss of some very important players to the varsity team, in- cluding Motu Ili, Alex Pacheco, Jeremy Smith, Joe Patterson, and Jason Green, the team su- prised everyone with their out- standing season performances. With new head coach, Mr. Jim Terrey, and assistant coach Mr. Terrey Keavney, the team improved with each game, reco- vering quickly from their slow start. After beating Long Beach Poly 21-6 and Saint Francis 34- 20, they entered league play with two wins and three losses. Though not expected by many to do much better in league play, the team suprised every- one by crushing Saint Bernard 26-0. Following this victorv. they never looked back, and with the exception of a loss to Servite, won every game with style, defeating Bishop Mont- gomery 26-12, Mater Dei 25-15, and Saint Paul 38-0. This was an ideal way for the season to progress, starting as it did, said Coach Terrey. They were a very talented group of indivi- duals, and coaching them was challenging and exciting, he added. Working during a game or at practice, each player on the team gave all they had. Wg worked really hard together as a team, and we were constantly improving, said running back Tommy Sterrett. This determi- nation was shown on the field and earned the them the re- spect of their opponents. The offense, led by quarterback Tim Aguayo and Marty Avalos, scored a total of 208 points, while the defense limited the opponents to 153 points in com- parison. Though they fell short of the league championship, the courage and determination of the sophomore team showed their true winning spirit.

Mike Ford Outshone by the glamorous accomplishments of the varsity team, first year football often drew only small crowds. This was unfortunate, though, be- cause the team was something to watch. Led by head coach Tom Salt- er and assistant coach Marcus Lewis, the Freshman Football Team completed their season with six wins and four losses. Three wins and two losses were in league play. This record gave the team a second place finish in the Angelus League. The team's performance, however, belies these rather average stat- istics. The guys played hard, despite formidible odds. Said Coach Salter, t'We were often smaller and outmanned by the other team, but they never gave up. They played with great in- tensity and gave everything they hadf, The team's intense drive to suceed was evident in the way they performed. Each person played with great en- thusiasm and energy, and if they weren't on the field they were on the sidelines cheering their teammates on. Though this was only their first year as members of the football team, they possessed all the spirit and pride of the older, more exper- ienced sophomore and varsity players. The success of the team was dependant upon each player's ability and determination. Practice was grueling and in- tense, but the players neverthe- less stuck with it, working hard to get better and better. Their drive even impressed Coach Salter, who said he was pleased by the way they worked and that he eventually ended up having fun coaching. Most important, freshman football was a time to find emerging talent. Two excep- tional players, Zachary Zer- tuche, named Most Valuable Offensive Player, and Mike Ve- lasco, Most Valuable Defensive Player, stood out as individuals with great promise. But that doesn't mean the rest of the team was neglected. Each indi- vidual player worked very hard and put out his best for the team.

Win or lose, the impor- tant part was that we all supported each other. Marina Trigonis Winning the title is not al- ways the name of the game in sports such as tennis. From the very beginning, not one player on the Varsity Tennis team possessed a win at all costs attitude. They were exactly what a team was supposed to be: a tightly bound group of in- dividuals. Although the players were from diverse backgrounds, the tennis court knitted them into a solid force. The result was more victories than in pre- vious years. Yet, winning was not the most important factor. Team spirit played a vital part in player satisfaction. Mutual support lifted the team in its difficulties. The ten- nis team stuck together despite losses incurred by old rivals. Bodily injuries also added to the negatives. Senior Selena Sinson injured her right ankle during a doubles match against Saint Joseph. In her words, I really wanted to continue be- cause the team needed this vic- tory. With Marina Trigonis at my side, we were determined to win and only needed one more point when the injury stopped the match. There was disap- pointment, but no hard feel- ings. After every match, team spirit was evident in the warm handshake or hug after the match, win or lose. Maturity shone in all of them. It took hard work to make the year a great one. We all went out and we practiced hard. It was especially gratifying to work with great coaches, stat- ed senior Marina Trigonis. Un- der the leadership of Coaches Mary Jo Shaver and Yvonne Pederson, improvement was ea- sier to come by. Coach Mary Jo Shaver claimed that, 6'C0aching the 1987-1988 tennis team was truly a unique experience. It was an opportunity to empha- size responsibility and the sea- son saw increased maturity in the players. The athletes of racket and ball practiced to im- prove their skills. Accomplish- ing this was difficult since matches against other schools were often scheduled close to each other. Despite the hard work, the tennis team remained in high gear.

Though the team ended the season with a one win and four loss record, they ran well and showed promising talent for next year. The girls didn't let their youth stand in the way. En- couragement from other members, school support, and team unity were all things that helped the girls keep going. Freshman Kris- tie Bubbert, the top female varsity runner said the big- gest challenge for her was ... having enough confi- dence to go out there and fin- ish the course. But it helps to have everybody cheering, it keeps you going. Even in defeat, the runners contin- ued to express enthusiasm for their team and ran to their full potential. Gaining the self-confi- dence needed to complete each course was not easy to do, but the girls were glad to have the chance to compete against other schools and re- present Bishop Amat as members of the team. When asked what she gained from being a member on the girls cross country team, fresh- man Christy Fortelny hap- pily replied, I made many good friends and gained a great deal of self-confidence. Courage, friendship, and good sportsmanship was what kept the girls going and provided the team with uni- ty and support.

Coach Fred Vartanian Out of breathe and growing tired you see the finish line in the distance while feeling your opponent drawing closer. Push- ing yourself, you increase your pace knowing he is matching you stride for stride. Questions arise in your mind. Is he tired? Will he have enough energy to make it? You feel him making his move. Suddenly all of those weeks of hard work and train- ing come to mind. You can feel it . . . you're passing him. Sprinting over the last hundred yards you pull at your hidden energy and head for the line. You cross it feeling faint, fa- tigued and tired. You've won the meet and also remained an excellent sport giving you a re- lieved sense of accomplish- ment. The Boys Varsity Cross Country team was one of the most successful ever. Beginning in July, the athletes, under the direction of Coach Fred Var- tanian, began practice which continued well into November and thus achieved a record of 6- 1. As a result of their outstand- ing record, the team captured the Angeles League title. The team was composed of many fine athletes overHowing with talent and potential in- cluding senior Chris Waight. Chris, who was the league champion remained undefeated at dual meets with a personal best record of 6-0. Chris also achieved victories at the Colton Invitational, the San Gabriel Invitational and at the Mount San Antonio College Invita- tional. Five other strong members of the varsity team, seniors Marc Leufroy, Tom Cruz, Tim Cruz and juniors Eric Persell, Steve Holland also achieved all league honors. Marc ran an ex- cellent race at the San Gabriel Invitational earning an eighth place and Steve took sixth. Coach Vartanian said that the motivation the team pos- sessed was remarkable. At times they seemed more than ready to give up but they were never willing to. The drive the team had determined whether we would once again capture the Angeles League Title. How- ever with the winning attitude embodied by the entire team, I'm not surprised by our suc- cess.

Kevin Camarillo Dedication, hard work, opti- mism, and pride were the forces that drove the Freshman!Soph- omore Boys Cross Country team to a successful season. The team began daily practice dur- ing the first week of July and progressed into November. These five months of constant dedicated training were the fac- tors that contributed to their impressive record. Under the coaching and guidance of Mr. Fred Vartanian, the team com- pleted a season with a league record of 3-O. The team also earned third place in the league finals and an outstanding first place in dual meets. The team consisted of ath- letes who were full of energy, spirit, and promise. Each run- ner worked to his limit during competition and labored to ex- tend that limit further at prac- tice. Especially noteworthy was freshman Kevin Camarilio, who led the team and also earned a sensational tenth place at the Colton Invita- tional. Kevin was awarded Most Valuable Player due to his exceptional display of fine sportsmanship and athletic ability. The Cross Country season was full of personal re- wards for me. If I would feel tired while striving to reach the finish line, I would remember all of the time, energy, and ef- fort I exerted during the months of training and give it my all. It was a terrific feeling to win. Another notable run- ner was freshman Ernie Rodri- guez who was the recipient of the coach's award for the Most Improved Player. The success of the lower level team was a major factor in pre- dicting the performance of the varsity team for the following season. Coach Vartanian com- mented, I completely was amazed at the success of our team. When we began practice in July, there was no indication that we would have a season overflowing with so many vic- tories.

Although the score flashing on the scoreboard at the end of the game interpreted another loss, the Girls Varsity Basket- ball team had a great deal of talent. Unfortunately, the per- formance of the team was un- able to display that talent. Everybody had energy and talent to put into the game, but as a team we just couldn't bene- fit from it, commented junior June Moetului. After three years of coaching, Mr. Brian Miller did the best he could to help the team im- prove by sharing his basketball experience. The advice and en- couragement he always exerted helped brighten the girls' gloomy outlook on their stand- ings. The only underclassman on the team, freshman Danielle Martinez stated, Mr. Miller kept encouraging me to go out on the court and use my talents to the best of my ability. As a freshman, I didnit expect to play as much as I did. This was an example of his confidence in me. Although the final team re- cord was four wins and 17 losses, many of the girls gained experience and learned the es- sentials of a strong team. Long and develop their fundamental skills. It was important for them to recognize and identify with their weaknesses. As stat- ed by junior Stacey Oughton, We started out the season Vi working together as a team. As losses occurred and time pro- gressed, we became discour- aged, so many players resorted to playing as individuals which brought about our downfall. The team was supported by the scoring of senior Ann Marie Simpson, the rebounding of senior Marti Hoye and the de- fensive powers of senior Kim Ur. The younger members of the team learned essential skills and many players matured in their performance. Junior Ines Ayala commented, Even though we weren't very success- ful, I really enjoyed playing for the team. Expressing what she had gained from being a mem- ber, senior Kim Ur exclaimed, A player must have talent and still maintain the fundamental skills in order to win the game.

Jennifer Cswald The Girls Junior Varsity Bas- ketball team consisted of tal- ented young ladies with a win- ning attitude. They practiced hard and brought honor to the school with every game perfor- mance. Sophomore Nola Magno exclaimed after a victo- rious game against Saint Paul, We did unexpectedly well and we progressed tremendously from the way we played the previous season. The team's offensive perfor- mance was characterized by sharp perimeter shooting and strong offensive rebounding. Balanced scoring was the rule and a look at team statistics re- vealed six girls averaging be- tween five and eight points a game. These statistics meant that the team didn't have to rely on one or two players for the bulk of the scoring but sim- ply got the ball to whoever had the hot hand. This scoring bal- ance was surely a strength, but the team's success was built around strong rebounding aver- aging 43 per game and a harass- ing defense that held ten oppo- nents to less than twenty points. A first and much appreciated enthusiastic flier which includ- ed pictures of the team was de- veloped by Coach Jim Terrey. This updated faculty members and informed them of the team's continual progress. He proudly commented, The team was both enjoyable and challenging to coach. Enjoyable because they were fundamen- tally sound, listened to and fol- lowed instructions, and were unselfish. Challenging because the talent was so balanced that there were really nine starters and it was sometimes difficult getting everybody enough play- ing time. Whether on the bench or out on the court, all of the girls contributed in every game. Their willingness to sub- stitute for another player en- abled them to maintain a fast paced style of play. This team climbed in league standings and ended the season proud of their accomplishments.

Beginning A New Tradition Holding the team together was what I wanted to do. I wanted us to win and at the same time have fun. Stephanie Castro For the first time,' he girls basketball program offered not only a varsity and junior varsity team but a Girls Freshman Bas- ketball team as well. Coached by Yvette Munoz, 1986 alumni and former basketball player who was voted most athletic by her classmates, the team dis- played unending amounts of spirit, talent and fine sports- manship throughout league play. Coach Munoz stated, I think We should have had a freshman team from the time the girls basketball program was estab- lished. As a freshman, as well as a member of the varsity team, I had to work extra hard and I couldnit enjoy the games as much as I would have if I had played with my classmates at a level not as competitive. The freshman team played and had fun. Creating the new team hopefully influenced the Girl's Athletic Association to become more active and participate in as many games and on as many levels as possible. It's time that the girls move up the ladder just as the boys have.', Team member Geri Garcia stated, The addition of the freshman team will definitely benefit the future varsity and junior varsi- ty teams, because we are able to practice more and gain exper- iencef' A prime reason for the suc- cess of the team was communi- cation. Geri Garcia, who'played center, was the key player in this area. She had a constant calming effect on her fellow teammates whenever they would become too rallied or ex- cited toward the end of the game, remarked Coach Munoz. Stephanie Castro, the point guard, also shared the re- sponsibility with Geri of hold- ing the team together and acted as a constant source of support. In reaction to her coaches com- ment Stephanie remarked, Holding the team together was what I wanted to do. I wanted us to win and at the same time have fun. The team received such strong support and encourage- ment from the parents as well as the faculty during their pri- mary season that all expect it to return with success.

The word that summed up the Boys Varsity Basketball season was victory. In just two years, this group was trans- formed into a major basketball power. With a second place fin- ish in the Bosco Tech Summer Hoop Spectacular and first place finishes in three other tournaments, the basketball team was on its way to a record breaking season. The returning starters en- abled the team to defeat many of their rivals. Senior Clarence Lamb explained, This year really brought out the determi- nation 'in all of us. In the past, we lost games we were supposed to win and we certainly did not want to do that againf' Seniors Geoff Lear, Stephon Pace, Ter- rance Lamb, and Clarence Lamb usually scored in double figures. The defense was also graced by the performances of seniors Michael Conness and Paul Davis. Of course, it also took the talents of the rookie members to achieve victory. The coveted Angelus League title was won for the first time since 1974. Before this, the ..n Clarence Lamb Lancers captured the number one spot in the Southern Sec- tion 5A sportswriter's basket- ball poll from dominant Mater Dei. The crowning achievement was the 70-56 victory which ended Mater Dei's 55 league- game winning streak. The C.I.F. playoffs was the next destination. The team dis- played its force by moving into the finals by defeating Bosco Tech, Long Beach Jordan, and Lakewood. Getting into the fin- als was a feat never achieved in the school's history. Prior to the game against Mater Dei, the reigning state champs, Coach Alex Acosta remarked, Al- though we've defeated Mater Dei twice, I can't say that the titleis won for sure. We still have to do our best. To the surprise of many, Mater Dei de- feated the Lancers 74-65. For- tunately, they earned a wild- card spot in the state cham- pionships. However, in the first round, they lost to Manual Arts High School, 94-91. Despite the loss, this remarkable season brought a great deal of pride to Bishop Amat.

Winning games was not the only definition of the word success It also meant getting a group of individuals to func- tion as an efficient unit. That was no easy task. After all, ev- eryone possessed different techniques and variation in play. Junior Joe Halbmaier ex- plained, Each athlete wanted to play a certain way. Obvious- ly, every member had to com- promise for the greater good of the team which made it more challenging. The team was considerably more competitive. In the words of Coach Richard Wiard, t'Not one single player was assured a spot on the team. They all had to give it their best shot.i One reason for this increase in com- petition was the influx of tal- ent. In many of the returning players and fresh sophomores, exceptional skills in handling the rigors of high school basket- ball were present. Basketball was more than dribbling the ball and shooting. Under C.I.F. competition, the team needed individuals who could give 11052: and handle the pressure. Every member admitted that practice was more demanding than they initially thought. Practice sometimes took two hours, non-stop of course. Sophomore Louis Ruiz ex- plained, What made practice even harder was that every- thing was unexpected. It was not a regular routine like most othersf' Coach Richard Wiard made sure his team was pre- pared for the high-pressured competition. Those who made it through all the drills and training deserved to be on this winning team. In short, the year added up to a successful season and a solid team. They posted victory after victory, with minimal losses. They placed third at the Bosco Tech Tournament and were un- defeated during the pre-season matches. Junior Robert Allen remarked, It did not surprise me that we came out winning. I've never been on a losing team since l started playing for the school.

Motivation often led the team to one way and that was to a teamwork of friends. The Boys Sophomore Basket- ball team was a pure exhibition of this skill. Long hours after school and practice on week- ends was a common sight. Teamwork and effort were the motto for the squad. Team- work meant playing with others as a group of friends playing a sport they love, not one stand- ing out to get all the glory, stated Eric White. It meant everyone sticking together whether we win or losef, The season got off to a great start with the team winning half of their pre-season games. The hard coaching of Mr. Jim Moreno set the team on the right track. Games were en- joyed by all who were in atten- dance. When you're playing a game you love for a school that means something to you, every game is importantf' forward and guard Tim Aguayo stated. Basically all team members had played on squads at their It means everyone sticking together whether we Eric White knew what was needed to win the league championship. Co- captain Jason Sierra asserted, The past experience helped out, but a special talent was al- ways needed. The sophomore level was a stepping stone in the four year program. Many on this squad planned to continue the ladder. Sports is a great way to meet friends and to get into shape at the same time, Kurt Schwartz remarked. Decisions can some- times become hard but with de- votion and love for the sport, the reward can be worth the ef- fort. 'tDiscipline helps out when support isn't always there. I hope to follow in the paths of the varsity team. They over- came challenges and were an example to usf' stated Bill Mc- Carthy. You play to win but you cannot become too serious, Joel Thomas exclaimed. He went on to add, Once you be- come too serious you lose inter- est in the game you love. The team was motivated by deter- mination, charisma and hope, and that's what it took to be former grammar schools. They successful. ttii iiri T ' 1 Boys Sophomore Basketball ' 'ts V g VV 1' ,V gf .

Gabriel Barraza Even though there was a lack of enthusiasm from fans, the Boys Freshman Basketball team was not hindered from playing a good season. Day after day, the freshmen spent many hours practicing and im- proving their skills to become a more synchronized team. Daily practices not only provided a good physical work out, but an academic challenge to keep grades at a desired level. Ray- mond Villanueva pointed out, The thing I found most chal- lenging after joining the team was improving my skills at bas- ketball while keeping up my grades. Practices took a great deal of energy from me both physically and mentallyf' The group's emphasis on teamwork was remarkable, as Gabriel Barraza put it, When I play, I assist. When I'm on the bench, I cheer on the team. In addition, the team possessed a good defense which was vital in every game. Their strong de- fense enabled them to keep their opponents' scores down giving them decisive victories. When they were losing a game, they still pushed on, giving their opponents a run for their money. Each member worked exhaustively and there were no star players. Most of them struggled with the constant pressure that confronted them, but they were able to overcome this encumberance and func- tion as a team. Even though the team's sea- son did not turn out as well as they had hoped, they exhibited great talent and skill. The team showed a promising fu- ture. As they continue to im- prove, they will be future can- didates for the varsity teamf' commented their coach, Mr. Pete Rivas. Besides the team's above mentioned attributes, they gained valuable exper- ience which was the purpose of the freshman season. As they played each game, the team- mates gained a better insight to one another,s position.

Michelle Restivo With much excitement and enthusiasm, the Girls Varsity Soccer team proved once again to be victorious over a challeng- ing season. The girls began their off-sea- son workouts with a strict regi- ment of exercise including Weightlifting and running. Much effort was directed to- ward getting in shape for the new season which proved to be a significant factor in each game. Under the direction of Head Coach Tish Jacobs and assis- tant Coach Don Arlotti, the team began the pre-season with a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication which led to an outstanding record of 13 wins, five losses, and 2 ties. Most opponents proved to be an easy victory. The Lady Lancers then conquered their Angelus League opponents compiling a record of seven wins and three losses for a sec- ond place finish in the Angelus League. When asked to com- ment on the team's perfor- mance, junior Cindy Hoff ex- plained, In every game we gave it our all to try and beat the opponent. In most cases we won, but there were a couple of times when the other team was just too tough. Although there were some opponents who dem- onstrated more skill, the girls were able to defeat the majority of the teams, which led to the first round of the C.I.F. play- offs. In these games, they were faced with the challenge of playing teams who were at the top in their league. In the first round they victoriously defeat- ed Redlands, but in the second round they lost to Laguna Hills, thus ending their C.I.F. compe- tition. To achieve this amount of satisfaction, each of the girls was required to come to daily practices, devote a great deal of their time, demonstrate good sportsmanship, and maintain a 2.0 minimum grade point aver- age. The dedication that was demonstrated by each member proved to be the key to their success. Junior Michelle Res- tivo expressed, We felt strong as a team and we went out there with the confidence that we could win.

Challenges IVlet With Success Sometimes we played a great game and we knew it . . . even when we lost. Kelly Andres In only it's second season, the Girls Junior Varsity Soccer team overcame the many chal- lenges of being a relatively new team. With only one year of ex- perience, these girls pulled to- gether and were able to prevail against teams which had more experience. Although some games were lost, the girls knew they had played a good season and were proud of that fact. As a feeder for the varsity team, they produced some up- coming young talent who were to hopefully be profitable to the following season's varsity team. Most teammates agreed that they would definitely go out for the team the following season because of their quest for com- petition which they found only in the sport of soccer. Competi- tion was a key aspect in every game, and tension rose to it's height in every player. When asked how she felt before each match, freshman Kendra Me- lendez stated, It's a nervous feeling, but I go in with the con- fidence that we'll win because no matter how I feel, I owe it to the coach, the team, and myself to play my best. The biggest challenge for the team was to give 100 percent when playing an opponent who was favored to win, but the girls always went out with the state of mind that they could win, and even if they lost, it was understood that the other team had faced stiff competition by competing against them. For a majority of the mem- bers, soccer was not a new sport. Many had played for five to seven years before becoming a part of the sports program. The girls agreed that the differ- ence between recreational and high school soccer was the in- tense concentration put into each game and the amount of rivalry between teams from other schools. Freshman De- lores Martinez expressed, On a school team I try harder to win because I'm playing not only for a team, but for the whole student body. In a season of gaining new skills and tactics, the team was able to make the second year of girls junior varsity soccer a suc- cess. rig!

Girls lunior Varsity Soccer 245 Pulling Together To Come Out Ahead 1 Soccer is unpredictable-one play can turn the whole game around. Jesse Sandoval All it takes is just one goal or a great play to inspire a player. The game's not over until the whistle blows. You still have those last few seconds of the game to scoref, This was the overall winning attitude of the team as expressed by senior Jim Golondzinier. Strong in spirit and ability, the effort of the team left nothing to be desired. Under the guidance of Coach Jack Moran, the team took the championship in the consola- tion bracket at the Damien High School Tournament. In the first match, which was against Los Pueblos, they had what it took to win. Although the game went into overtime, they came out of the struggle with a 6-5 victory. Winning on the soccer field wasn't easy. The team exper- ienced the disadvantage of the injuries inflicted upon several of the team players. The mem- bership was lower this season due to the unnecessary need of extra players. Nevertheless, too energized to let any setbacks ac- tually hold them down, they many members continued to play even with the handicap of their injury. With a majority of the team having played together since their freshman year, confi- dence, unity, and maturity out on the field was not surprising. Even under the most dire cir- cumstances, they knew they could rely on each other for that extra umph',. As ex- pressed by junior Jesse Sando- val, Soccer is unpredictable- one play can turn the whole game around. The team dis- played their keen insight and know-how in what was known as . . . the most natural sport you can play. You gotta go with the flow, as expressed by ju- nior John Smith.

Sean Dempsey Having already beaten the previous year's win record within the first five of their games, the Boys Junior Varsity Soccer team was determined, energetic, and dedicated. Under the training of ,85 alumni, for- mer Associated Student Body president, Coach Ron Villaes- cusa and assistant coach Fabia Tovar, the team tripled the amount of wins from the pre- vious year. Practice started in late November and continued throughout the season, during vacations, and every non-game day, with the exception of Sun- day. This grueling schedule cleary showed signs of their be- ing true champions at heart. Composed mainly of fresh- men, sophomores, and a few ju- niors, the team had somewhat of a handicap as they were matched against other teams who were composed mainly of juniors. Several unfortunate in- juries to a few of the team mem- bers increased this handicap. Nevertheless, they held up well through the pressure and inten- sity. As expressed by sopho- more Chris Tomooka, We real- ly got pumped up before each game regardless of all the set- backs because we knew we had a good team and that we could actually beat those guys. Freshman Sean Dempsey sup- ported this view when he ad- ded, ln an intense game you were a little nervous, but once you went out there on the field you had just that one goal in mind. They certainly proved this during the Mater Dei game. The highlight of the year, they defeated the Monarchs by a score of 3-1. After having pre- viously lost to Mater Dei, the team was unquestionably proud at having reached one of their most victorious goals. Despite all of the blood, sweat, and tears the team defi- nitely found that just being able to play well together, de- spite the age differences and the temptation to be the star on the team, was an important ac- complishment in itself. Achiev- ing victory over some of the toughest teams only made win- ning even sweeter. Even through the occasional sting of defeat, the team's goal to strive for excellence kept them going.

Frank Guzman At the beginning of the sea- son, the Varsity Wrestling team was not even considered a con- tender for the league cham- pionship. That was usually giv- en to such high ranked teams as Baldwin Park and Sierra Vista high schools. Three months later, however, they were cele- brating their victory as the un- defeated Montview League champions. What accounted for the wres- tlers' success was simple-desire to win. Only their second year in the Montview League, the team already had high ambi- tions for winning the league ti- tle. It was this thought which drove them throughout the sea- son. The only thing on our minds was to be the league championsg that was the only goal that mattered, recalled junior Frank Guzman, who wrestled in the 115 pound weight class. Led by first year Head Coach Richard Almeida, the varsity wrestlers began the season com- peting in the El Rancho and Alemany Tournaments, in which they placed ninth and fourth respectively. Their first home exhibition meet was against Mater Dei, in which the team suffered their first defeat. The loss taught the wrestlers a lesson, however. 'We were over- confident and unprepared, said Coach Almeida, but we didn't let that happen again. Apparently, the team did learn from their mistakes, for they finished the rest of the season undefeated. Of crucial impor- tance was the meet against Bal- dwin Park, in which the Lanc- ers upset the number one ranked team, 37-32. Senior John Koiso commented, The win over Baldwin Park was really important, because it was then that we realized we could take league. The team continued to rack up wins such as 48-23 over San Dimas and 34-24 against Glad- stone, each victory bringing them closer to the league title. The season climaxed in a show- down with reigning league champions and undefeated Si- erra Vista. They were not champions for long, however, for the Lancers had defeated them 36-20, proving that any- thing can be achieved with sweat and willpower. nuuluu- i ilu lui nur - Varsity Wrestling Mater Dei lost 'Azusa won Crespi won 'Baldwin Park won Wilson WOH t'San Dimas W011 'Gladstone W011 'Sierra Vista WOII Overall record: 7 wins 1 loss ' Indicates Montview League El Rancho Tournament 9th place Alemany Tournament 4th place Bonita Tournament 5th place Whittier Tournament 3rd place Charter Oak Tournament 7th place C.I.F. finals 7th place l Bottom to top: Grayson Kline, John Koiso, Daniel Herrera, Eric Barron Frank Guzman, Shawn Schlegel, Amanzio Dizon, Scott Owen, Steve Ca- brera, Aron Gideon, Coach Richard Almeida, Jesus Betts, Mark Ochoa Sergio Barriga. 250 Sports 97 A Gladstone wrestler finds his arms held immo- bile by junior Daniel Herrera.

It takes hard work, but that's the way I like it. Eric Villasenor Some forty students showed up on the first day of practice to receive their first taste of a wrestler's life: a run around the block. Unfortunately, the block on which Bishop Amat rests happens to be a mile and a half long. Thus, a three-month sea- son of pain, abstinence, and vic- tory was initiated. In a month, those students who tried out for the team were narrowed down to thirteen forming the Junior Varsity Wrestling team, a squad of first and second year wrestlers who, though not of varsity caliber, still put on a good show when they got on the mat. First year wrestlers had little notion of what the sport was really like. Coach Richard Al- meida soon introduced them to some features of wrestling- namely pain, weight loss, and the push-up. Wrestling was probably the most grueling and demanding of any sport, both physically and psychologically, for in addition to two hours of intense practice daily, wrestlers were working under strict diets of less than 2000 calories a day to achieve their desired weight. Thus, the appeal of wrestling to some may seem strange, but freshman Eric Villasenor had his own views. Wrestling is an individual sport, real one on one. It takes hard work, but that's the way I like it, he re- marked. Apparently, the long hours of practice paid off, for the team ended with a great season. Fin- ishing with a 6-2 record overall, they accumulated victories such as 51-10 over Azusa and 42-27 over San Dimas. Yet training was not the only rea- son for success. There was a great deal of talent on the team and many wrestlers showed po- tential, remarked Coach Al- meida. What drove these wrestlers on? Through pain and suffering there was definitely a sense of pride that was seen in the team. I developed a sense of self-dis- cipline and accomplishment through wrestling and the win- ning's great, said sophomore Alan Arbolado. ga N V ii Bottom to top: Kevin Wilson, Chad Barnett, Kenneth Lim, Frank Orozco, Aristotle Dizon, Alan Arbolado, John Hernandez, John Juarez, Tim Ober- gon, Tim Hatfield, Carlos Padilla, David Hernandez, Eric Villasenor.

The Varsity Softball team entered the season with high ambitions for success. Led by Coach Joseph Rodger, the group of players assembled were considered one of the most cohesive and talented teams yet, and they were determined to make their mark. The team's motivation lay in their strength, experience, tal- ent, and teamwork. With a starting lineup consisting of players who had extensive ex- perience in competitive soft- ball, the team had confidence in their ability to play smoothly and efficiently. The advantage came from a number of return- ing seniors, such as Evelyn Ochotorena and Nancy Benavi- dez, whose skill and knowledge were invaluable to the team. Other players who showed promise included juniors Kim Jones, Stacy Oughton, Monique Molina, and Michelle Mendoza. A great suprise came from the ablity of Rita Ramirez, who, as a freshman, was a starting play- er. This combination of exper- ience and talent was the key to forming a successful team.

Thus the Varsity Softball team set their hopes for a win- ning season. Though not often mined to change that, setting as their main goal to qualify for the playoff competition.

As the season wore on, their hours of dedi- cated practice were more than evident.

Sophomore Natalie Mendoza was not only an excellent second base per- son, but also an excellent hitter. Shortstop freshmen. Lisa Gil had a strong arm and was good with the bat, and pitcher soph- omore Erika Fife with her strong arm strove to pitch a winning game. Erika was also noted for her exceptional abili- ty with the bat. The team's de- fense was its strongest point, as well as their ability to make good contact with the ball. Their only weakness was their lack of concentration at times during the game.

F Victory Golf requires constant practice and a great amount of concentration as well as skill. Octavio Lugo As March arrived, it was time again for golf season. Under the guidance of new coach, Mr. Tom Paredes, the team drove into action. Although it was one of the least known sports on campus, the golf team dates back to 1963. The team, com- prised of promising individuals, was determined to give golf a good reputation. Sophomore Ryan Mendoza stated, I joined golf in hopes of getting a schol- arship and bringing deserved recognition to the teamf' In- stead of conducting practices at lndustry Hills golf course as was done for the past several years, practices were held at Santa Anita Country Club. The team began the season with a rough start, losing to Saint Paul by a few points. This, however, did not inhibit the teamis performance level for the rest of the season. Moti- vated by various goals, they strove to better their plays. Ju- nior John Dykes remarked, I wanted to play good golf and I felt that I could accomplish that here. My dream is to be on either the amateur or PGA tour. From time to time, the team found itself challenged by the variations of each course presented at every game. Work- ing as a team, also presented a difficulty, as senior Craig Lo- zano discovered, Determina- tion was the important key. In accomplishing teamwork in a sport such as golf, you have to try your best to get a lower score average than your oppo- nents in order to win. Senior Jeff Arnold added, Since indi- vidual scores are combined as the team average, one player's mistake can affect the outcome of the game. Moral support and showing teammates how to improve their faults were also vital contributions in accom- plishing team unity. Many people find no pleasure in chasing a little ball across vast fields. To the few dedi- cated men on the team, golf was a very serious and rewarding sport. Golf is just like any oth- er sport. It requires constant practice and a great amount of concentration as well as skill, concluded sophomore Octavio Lugo.

The Varsity Baseball team entered the season determined to defend their 1987 Angelus League Championship title. On February 22, the players.began practice in order to reach their goal of victory. At the commencement of the season the team was faced with many exciting challenges. After losing eleven players, including seven starters from last year's team, the unit saw fresh faces and new position players. They were ready, though, to work hard and do their best. Being strong in all areas pro- vided a balance for the team. A bright star shone on the pitch- er's mound where senior Charles Phillips stood. Defen- sively, the team continued the tradition of fine infield play and leadership. They had a sol- id defense characterized by speed, strong arms, and plenty of depth. Offensively, the team had a very strong line-up. Top power hitters included seniors Charles Phillips and Thomas Acuna. The offensive attack was potent- and provided some good offen- Varsity Baseball Thomas Acuna sive excitement. The team saw young players in positions which veterans these individuals. Being on first string and playing third base, Daniel explained, It was really hard and there was tremendous pressure being in that position. There was no room for mis- takes. Leading the team was an ef- fective coaching staff which in- cluded head coach, Mr. Glenn Martinez and assistant coaches, Mr. Tom Salter and Mr. Joe O'Connor. Coach Martinez re- sponded, These guys knew what it took to win. I just re- minded them that as soon as they stopped working that was as good as they would get. The Varsity Baseball team was faced with a difficult sea- son, but by utilizing each of their talents and pulling to- gether the team proved to be 7 tough competition.

Coach Brian Miller The Junior Varsity Baseball team faced their toughest chal- lenge in the fact that they were supposed to win. Under coaches Mr. Brian Miller and Mr. Bob Cacho, the Lancers tried to live up to the saying of their coaches: If you don't score you can't win. Having played together as freshmen, the team was already familiar with one another, which was an advantage. As stated by Greg- ory Moreno, Having played so many games together as fresh- men, we developed a strong outfield and a powerful all around defense. This made us a hard team to beat. A couple of the goals set by the team were to play better than in the previous year and to provide experienced players for next year's varsity team. Start- ing out with a 5-1 record in pre- season games, the team devel- oped the enthusiasm and spirit to work toward these goals. I felt good about our ability, and the tournaments familiarized us with the abilities of the other teams as well, commented Thomas Sterrett. The players had the main components of a winning team. They had enthusiasm, mutual respect and belief in them- selves, their teammates and their coaches. The last compo- nent was one of the most im- portant . . . teamwork. In baseball, everyone contributes because each player has their own talents and they use them to benefit the team as a whole . . . not just themselves, stated Juan Hernandez. Combining pitching and a solid defense with an offense that attempted to score a run each inning, the Lancers hoped to live up to the expectations of those who enjoyed their fresh- man campaign. Though the pressure was to perform well, Coach Brian Miller supported and encouraged his players to help ease their tension while on the field. Think not so much of reputation as of character. Reputation is just what others think of you, character, howev- er, is what you truly are, lec- tured Coach Miller.

The Fresh- man Baseball team contained many members that exempli- fied what the right attitude was for playing sports. As freshman baseball players, they had to deal with feelings of insecurity, excitement, and curiosity as to what the new season would hold for them. Most players played baseball before they came to Bishop Amat. They were used to some practice, but were surprised at the amount of work that was demanded of them. It made completing homework a diffi- cult task, but these players seemed to accept the challange with eagerness and anticipa- tion. As stated by Niki Hana- maikai, Practicing, to me, is hard work and that is what makes a team number one. The other thing that made the team great was the coaching staff of Mr. Richard Wiard and Mr. Steven Hagerty. The hopefuls began tryouts with some heavy doubts, but managed to work up a positive attitude. Mike Rogers ex- pressed honestly, I was ner- vous seeing all the competition and wondering to myself if I was good enough. Many of the players started out with these worries, but a few turned their worries into constructive emo- tions. Ernie Rivera explained, I felt like I was learning some- thing new everyday. The season ahead of these players was not at all bleak. In fact many felt that with their stong hitting and good defense they could come out on top. They wanted to show the other teams that they were worthy of praise. High hopes and willing- ness to do what they could to achieve their goals was the plan. Winning did not seem to be all that was on their minds. Having fun and making friends was also important. Many be- lieved that that was what base- ball was all about. In the words of Niki Hanamaikai, No mat- ter if we won or lost, the team felt like a family and will re- member how much fun they had playing Bishop Amat base- ball. Freshmen Baseball .

There was another entry into the history book with the for- mation of the first boys volley- ball teams. ln spite of being first year teams, both the Boys Varsity Volleyball team and the Boys Junior Varsity Volley- ball team were considered to be strong and had high hopes for victory largely due to the out- standing work of Mr. Brian Mathews who coached both teams. At the beginning of the season the teams had a weak- ness in communication. As time progressed, they realized that teamwork was the key to suc- cess. The teams consisted of 24 members, an elite group from a tryout squad of 130 students. The tryouts were held for two months in the early morning hours and during late evenings. Each member was picked ac- cording to their ability and con- sistency in passing, serving, set- ting, and spiking the ball. Thus, the teams were made up of the finest players the school had to offer. Coaching two teams at one time required much dedication on the part of Coach Mathews. I Boys Varsity Volleyball Cathedral Cathedral Upland Flintridge 'Saint Paul 'Mater Dei 'Bishop Montgomery 'Saint Paul 'Mater Dei Upland ' Indicates Angelus League ! as it fs , el Hernani Ledesma He gave up much of his free time to organize, form, and coach the two teams. Even though coaching two teams at one time was very time con- 5 suming, I enjoyed working with them and didn't mind the hard work it took, Coach Mathews stated. The players appreciated his dedication. As expressed by senior Hernani Ledesma, Coach Mathews disciplined 5 the players, and made each one E work hard and stay conscious of his mistakes. .

Each player continued to practice their ba- 3 sic skills, while correcting his mistakes. After playing many at games together the members of the teams slowly improved and began to communicate with one another. They also realized that they had to play as a team and not just for themselves. Their hard work and effort inevitably made them successful in addi- tion to being the first boys vol- leyball teams. Thus, these his- tory-making teams enhanced the athletic program. . L 3 i . yZig:s 5 .

Actually, most of us were anxious to show how good this team really was. Henry Felix The most difficult aspect of any endeavor is getting started. The Boys Varsity Tennis team was no exception. Their first year in full-fledged competition raised questions as to their po- tential. Most of the players re- sponded in a positive manner. Junior Henry Felix replied, Anyone would think that we'd feel shaky about playing on a first year team. Actually, most of us were anxious to show how good this team really was. Confidence exuded from most of the players. Being the first season, there was added pressure to do well. The fact that this squad had to go up against seasoned teams didn't exactly help them out. Freshman Dominic Monte- longo explained, NA few of us felt the pressure of being a new team. Of course, no one could do much to relieve that. The only thing we could do was con- centrate on our games. Inexpe- rience prompted concern from the whole squad. Tennis at this level was new to the school. Be- cause of this, the initial part of the season was more of a trial period. The team showed signs of winning potential. They were not just a group of inexperi- enced tennis lovers. They were graced with a state ranked play- er, freshman Joseph Montoya. When asked about the future of the program he replied, The program is really going to gain strength as time goes on. Since we're a young group, many of us will return next season. This means that thereis going to be more experience and maturity. The team did its best to pre- pare for the challenge. The practice sessions were hard and demanding. Most of them thought it would be easy. Ten- nis required top form and fit- ness. Playing tough opponents was a challenge. Keeping up with a schedule that had them playing matches three times a week was even more demand- ing. Yet, this squad kicked off the season with optimism. In the words of junior Gabriel Ra- mirez, If we can keep up the level of play throughout the season, I'm sure that this team can finish in good positionf, f E Boys Varsity Tennis WilSO1'1 :'Saint Paul U V 'Saint P3111 Glendora Tourney 2.Li,Q3 - Cal High Diamond Bar V 'i La Puente La Habra 'Servite 'Mater Dei A fl 'Bishop Montgomery 'Saint Paul - Monrovia 'Mater Dei qr.fQt.

The ob- ject of C.l.F. competition was to bring athletes together in friendly competition. Boys Varsity Tennis 273 Many students who craved variety in their athletic life opt- ed for sports outside of school. Because this option was an inde- pendent one, they found it diffi- cult and very different from school-sponsored activities. The student who chose a competitive sport sacrificed his leisure time to train, without the rewards of school recognition. Neverthe- less, they continued. The sport, whether it was judo or hockey, was more than just a hobby, it was a passion. Junior Mike Sheety first be- came interested in Sport Judo during his freshman year as a result of a book report he did on the subject. Two and a half years later, Mike achieved a brown-belt ranking and was named Honorary Judo Athlete of 1987. Judo, which required a great deal of discipline, called for minimum effort with maxi- mum efficiency. The difference 274 Sports Excelling In Outside Sports between Judo and school sportsf' Mike observed, was that I had to take it upon myself to respect the Japanese tradi- between sensei finstructorl and student. Unlike school sports, Judo pupils could maintain their training with only two and a half hours of practice twice a week. Not only did it keep him in shape but it provided a prac- tical use for dealing with daily life. 'KI had to practice a throw thousands of times before I could even do it-just like life, commented Mike. Although still considered an unusual sport for Southern Cali- fornia, hockey was rapidly grow- ing more popular. Junior Gary Lyons, who played defense for the Southern California Con- dors, spent 11 years dedicated to the sport U. . . because I enjoyed the excitement of hockey which combined balance, agility, and strength. His brother Mike Ly- Sports ' The Bishop Amat Boosters was a paid membership organi- zation which supported all school projects with extra em- phasis on assistance to the sports program. This group con- sisted of about 300 parents, fac- ulty, alumni, and fans of the athletic teams. They assisted at all sports functions that re- quired volunteers and were also there to lend a helping hand at the annual fiesta, open house, and graduation. Through their hard work, the Boosters saved the school thousands of dollars by assisting with field and gym preparation for different events. Senior Charlie Aguirre, whose father is an active Booster mem- ber, explained, My dad spends a lot of time around school. Most of the students don't real- ize the improvements the Boost- ers make. They think the jani- tors do it. Like every club, the Boosters were led by a group of dedicated officers which consisted of Mr. Patrick Froehle, president, Mr. Boosters Mr. Nick Kaustic, Mr. Jim Wiard, and Mr. Chuck Stanzione use their talent as chefs. Barbecuing for teams was a weekly event. ons also joined and played cen- ter for the California State team, the Silver Surfers. One similar aspect of hockey to school sports was the fact that the parents exerted the same amount of energy as fans. Both boys were encouraged by their father, Gary Lyons Sr. who served as commisioner of the Los Angeles Hockey Associ- ation. There was a great deal of politics involved, commented Mike Lyons, 'Sometimes the parents cared more than the kids themselves. Myke Prus- zynksi, who played right wing for the Pasadena Maple Leafs, owed his interest in hockey to his cousin-in-law, Dan Nagy. He got me started by taking me to King's games. He is now training me for junior and col- lege play, Myke remarked. Un- like school sports, hockey teams received more opportunity to travel. The Silver Surfers, for example, traveled extensively to Canada and to neighboring and eastern states. The main differ- ence was the financial stability of the team, Gary reported, We had to find our own spon- sors and fund raisers to pay fof the expensive equipment. We donlt have a school to support us. Because hockey was such ar unusual sport for Californiar schools, it often did not receive deserved recognition.

The Boosters were a tremen- dous support to all of the athle- tic teams and the school. Their continued effort and work was appreciated by all. . .'., SQL!! . Coaches Go Beyond The Limit On the sidelines Coach Tom Salter reassures the Freshman Football team. Coaches were valuable for boosting morale at crucial mo- ments. According to athletes as well as coaches themselves, a good coach went beyond simply re- viewing techniques and con- ducting practices. A coach should have been concerned about the athletes as individuals while teaching the importance of sportsmanship, discipline, and team work. ln general, the difference among coaches laid in the way they related to the play- ers. An obvious aspect of a coach's job was to mold the team into a unit with a single objective-to win. It was imperative, however, that a coach not let his or her ego hinder the development of all the players on a team. Ath- letes also needed to learn to take constructive criticism and not just praise. A good coach was one who loved the sport. Mrs. Tish Ja- cobs related, l love the sport of soccer. I play myself and teach the girls what l've learned. In addition to liking the sports, Mr. Glenn Martinez more fully explained his job as a varsity baseball and football coach: lt is important to give players the opportunity to compete or per- form at something that is just as important as academics. He felt that sports provided a more realistic learning exper- iencef, Just as coaches enjoyed work- ing with devoted athletes, ath- letes had ideas about coaches with whom they performed best. Varsity football player, senior Kevin Szalonek said, A coach that stands out in my mind takes time to talk with the athlete, formally expresses strengths and weaknesses, knows the student as a person and as an athlete, cares enough to make the person be the best he can be in all areas . . . Coach Mark Paradesf' A coachis job did not only en- tail producing a winning team. The coach was the corner- stone of the team, relied on for aid in both the physical and psychological aspects of a sport. Special Team Provides Helping Little did people know that behind the sports teams them- selves another team existed. A team that much of the time re- mained invisible, but existed none the less. They performed the jobs that needed to be done but that the coaches and players were too busy to do themselves. This team was made of statistic keepers, equipment managers, and water girls or boys. Statistic keepers had a diffi- cult task to perform. They had to keep a record of each player's performance during games. This wasn't always the easiest thing to do because the stat keeper had to keep from getting in- volved in the game so they could keep an accurate record. Junior Monique Molina exclaimed, 4'People donft realize how hard we really workedf, The stat keeper's records were the basis of how coaches worked the play- ers at practice by showing in what areas they needed im- Sophomores Cynthia Garcia and Stephanie Ruiz keep statistics for the Sophomore Football team. Hand provement. Many of the stat keepers were given uniforms just like the players themselves. Equipment was essential to play all games, and it would have been easily lost if it hadn't been for the important equip- ment managers who were also required to attend all games. They were responsible for keep- ing track of all equipment. They also made sure that the equip- ment stayed neat during the games and that it got home safe- ly. Anyone who had been to a sports match could see that the team players got extremely hot and thirsty. At the beginning of the season, coaches chose a cou- ple of students to be the team's water girl or boy. These people made sure that the water bottles were always full and that each player received water when they needed it. Although these people often felt overlooked, that was not truly the case. Coaches and players knew that they per- formed a vital task and appreci- ated them very much Behind The Scenes 275 Injuries Cause Disappointments Athletes who were injured during practice or games were forced to sit on the sideline and watch as their team paraded to victory or lost with dignity. Be- ing on the team was satisfying, but after being injured some- thing was missing and the satis- faction lessened. The deserving individual was denied the op- portunity to show off their hardwork. Disappointment was imbed- ded in the player's heart along with the pain of injury when the accident occured. Even though the crowd applauded as the player hobbled off the field, a smile was hard to find when the pain of injury drowned out all other feelings and noises. Senior Anna Pablo expressed her feel- ings about injuries by asserting, When I was hurt, the first thing that went through my mind was whether or not I would play volleyball ever again. After I was taken off the court and settled down on the sideline I supported the team. I wanted them to keep going. Although play resumed n the field, the team was still re- minded that a member was sit- ting on the bench observing the rest of the game instead of play- ing it. Unity was destroyed by this interruption. Now their hearts were set on winning the game for the player, who couldn't finish with them. The player who took over the disabled person's position felt obligated to fulfill that position to the best of their ability. They had pressure put upon them to play up to the team's expecta- tions. I felt worried that I wasn't going to play as well as my teammate, but I ended up doing a good job, expressed ju- nior June Moetului. Injuries caused frustration to the hardworking players. It was the sideline for them for ex- tended amounts of time. This broke many hearts, but situa- tions such as this can never be avoided. Perhaps another time will prove more satisfying. After receiving medical attention for an ankle injury sophomore Tala- Iemotu Ili awaits the outcome ofthe game. g , 97 l 0 Everyone is familar with the old saying, Practice makes per- fect. The members and coaches of each athletic team stood by that statement. Practice, hard work, and determination were the heart of each team's success. Most fans agreed that the play- ers were talented, but very rare- ly did they contemplate the hours of practice which brought the team to their victorious mo- ments. Varsity basketball play- er, senior Mike Conness de- clared, Practice takes time, cooperation, patience, and a love of the sport. At about T00 p m everyday the locker rooms were cleared and practice had begun Indivi duals involved in sports gave up Practice Makes Perfect their free time to their sport. After school jobs were out of the question, Free time to rest after a mentally draining day of aca- demics was replaced with hard physical labor. Dedication to the sport was a must because practices could sometimes be grueling. Fresh- man football coach Mr. Marcus Lewis declared, Practice is the work behind the sport so that on game day the team can relax a little and have fun. Practice didnlt always result in a win. Some teams practiced and put forward their best effort at a game and still lost This be- came discouraging yet to many winning wasn t everything Var sity soccer player senior Kevin Sherwood stated, I learned that deep down inside every- body has the power to do what they really want. The coaches continually encouraged players to do their best, and their best was what they did. Q So, it came down to the final question. Did all that practice pay off? After polling several members from various teams it was concluded that all of the hard work involved in practice was worth it. Volleyball player, freshman Dolores Davoren as- serted, Hlf it came down to it I would do it all over again. The Varsity Wrestling team begins practice by running laps. Practice required each member to take the initiative to do their best, 1 . . . . - - s i ' . . , 276 Sports Balancing Two Heavy Loads r M9530 Playing team sports involved more than just actually partici- pating at practice and games. Athletes were required to keep their grades at a satisfactory lev- el. If they failed to do so, they risked being eliminated from the team. The rule regarding a satisfac- tory grade level was that each athlete must maintain a 2.0 grade point average. Many ath- letes were forced to change their study habits. Junior Anna Con- treras played on the varsity vol- leyball team and maintained a grade point average of 3.2. Anna felt, uPlaying sports made me Work faster on my homework. Athletes found themselves doing their homework at the od- dest times. Some did their homework on the way to games while others waited until they arrived home. Concerned coaches arranged study periods before practices making sure that their players kept up their grades. Their concern showed that athletes not only had to learn to concentrate on their sport but they also had to main- tain concentration on their much important school work. Junior Anna Contreras maintained a 3.2 grade point average and re- mained on the first squad of the vol- leyball team. 1 r-X. .K a l i r i ill .ff fi f' l - 1 . 1 . s X l 1, fl iq gn. lf i M ,.fr 'K 1 H V, Second String Scores Winners Sophomore football players ob serve their starters run the ball a few more yards Being second string meant watching from the sidelines A team is only as good as their second string, stated Coach Alex Acosta. This held true for all sport teams and were words to live by in the athletic world. Although the second string didn't play as often as the starters, they possessed as much talent. When the team was down by 20 points, the second string was always there to lift their team- matels spirits and rally their emotions They inspired them to keep golng and relingurshed some of the confidence they may have lost in the earlier min utes of the game Even though some players had to sit the bench they still practiced and worked just as hard as the players who started Second string had to learn the same plays so that they would be prepared to go into the game when necessary. Junior Brian Collins asserted, 'AEven though I sit the bench for most of the game, I am still part of the team. I practiced with them, I traveled with them, and I worked just as hard as the starters. Seniors who were second string sometimes had a harder time accepting the fact that a junior or sophomore could start over them. I was just happy that I could be on a winning team First string or second real ly didn t matter exclaimed senior Peter Beck Having been chosen as a play er on the team was what count ed most The good of the team outweighed egos for enthusiastic athletes First string and second string were equally winners after all v ti - M - - Behind The Scenes 277 Strategy Making Means Time Outs During a game, as the team got winded or fell behind, a time-out was called by the coach. The time-outs were usu- ally to the team's advantage and were only used in emergency sit- uations. Water bottles were passed from player to player in order to quench their thirst, and a seat was relaxing to those wea- ry bodies. Although time-outs lasted for only one minute, it was just enough time for the players to catch their breath and get ready for the remainder of the game. Sitting on the sidelines, the coach could often see little idio- syncracies within the team. They also kept a watchful eye and took mental notes on the opponents strategies. Coach lim Terrey explained During a time-out we usually have ob- served a weakness in our oppo- nent s plays and we set up a play to capitalize on that weakness. During a time-out the team collaborated to learn exactly what they should do. At this crucial moment the coach and team drew up a winning play. Wisely used time-outs made the difference between victory and defeat. Taking time-out with his volleyball team Coach Brian Mathews sets up a new strategy. e as , 1 1 1 as 1 7 v Going For The Gold Winning. Everyone wants to be a winner! Normally when we think of winners, we think about the sports program. That's probably because our sports program was full of win- ners. Even though not every team took a league championship, they gave every game their all. In the words of junior Irma Mo rales Winning was doing the best you could to help your team and knowing you tried hard It didn t necessarily mean making your opponent lose In other words winning was achieved through effort A team could be defeated but still consider their effort a win because they gave their all Winning meant something different to everyone Each in dlvidual had different goals which they strove to attain To Junior Gabriel Valencia winning was being the underdog, coming up from behind and proving yourself to everyone, es- pecially yourselff' In this case winning was proving to yourself that you could get the job done. To junior Kurt Szalonek, Win- ning isn't just a score, but itls a feeling that you get when you know you did your best and put your heart into something That s when you re a winner It seems that all agree winning was more than a score It was the total effort put into each game Winners were found on every team all year round Everyone who gave their best in team play on every team was a winner whether or not their record showed it As long as players reached for the gold they were winners in the true sense of the word The Varsity Football team upholds the victory banner The winning tra- dition continued at Bishop Amat cz ' ' ' 1 7 ' as , . 1 . , . . . vs 1 7 ' - 7 , . , 278 Sports Pep Talk Mystery Unraveled Did you ever wonder what went on at half time behind the closed doors of the locker rooms? Since there was always two sides to every story, several coaches and various team mem- bers were questioned to find out what coaches were honestly say- ing or perhaps yelling behind those closed doors. Varsity football coach Mr. Mark Paredes explained that at times he would give a short pep talk and at other times he wouldn t say anything at all. He added No matter what I say I always end on a positive note. To verify Mr. Parades state- ment football player senior Charlie Cook was questioned. He agreed saying The coach alwa s tried to calm us down that we had another half of a game to play. In complete contrast fresh- man volleyball coach Fr. Jim Anguiano had a different story. Hesitantly he admitted I yelled at the volleyball players Coach Tom Salter gives the team a pep talk. Pep talks were a strategy used by coaches to incite a team to work together. to get them excited and upset. I especially expressed to them to move and communicate. Freshman volleyball player Mi- cole Figueroa jumped at the chance to say, f'He yelled and he did it Very loudly! Freshman volleyball player Felicia Nava added, He told us that we had to want to win in order to winf' What was said during a pep talk entirely depended on the coach. Coaches used pep talks as a strategy either to excite the players or as a chance for them to slow down and focus on win- ning. They used the method that was the most effective with their team. Did the pep talks actually work? Did all of that yelling or did the words of encouragement mance? Senior varsity basket- ball player Peter Beck replied, The pep talks had a great im- pact if we were losing otherwise it really didn t matter what our coach said. The truth was re Jealed. The question has been answered. Pep talks were inspiring upset- ting or sometimes just non-exis- tent. 7 7 Y 7 L6 , 77 7 , if , , y. , . . and didn t say too much except help improve their perfor- 77 Li 7 7 7 ll 77 7 7 7 Learning From Losing Although winning was a posi- tive factor in sports, losing had to also be taken into consider- ation, especially by the team. Most players saw losses as an important way of learning to play with more strategy and skill. Generally, team members concentrated on the future by working toward solutions to their weaknesses. A few losses now and then proved to be use- ful to athletes by giving them an opporitunity to analyze their performance, recuperate, and begin working again. How did they cope with Watching the other team win, ju- niors James Thomas, Kerry David- son, and senior Leonard Ruiz con- centrate on their own strategy. losses? Junior Jess Sandoval of the Varsity Soccer team found one method effective. If we were losing beyond situation, I tried to keep going anyway to keep the team alive. Kevin Wilson, a junior on the Varsity Wrestling team, recalled, I worked at out-wrestling my op- ponent. This way my game was not really affected. What about after the game when the agony of defeat sank in? Shawn Schle- gel, a sophpomore on the Junior Varsity Wrestling team, ex- plained, I go over my mistakes and start practicing againf' As their attitudes proved, winning was not everything. Winning was the major goal but if we were out-classed, there was no reason to be disappointed if we played our bestf, Jess comment- ed. A heavy loss could shake up a team's confidence but they did not worry about the next game. Instead, they perfected their good points, and analyzed the causes of their bad ones. These included injuries, members quit- ting, and lack of team effort and unity. It's the whole team that determines wins or losses, Jess pointed out. Players agreed that a more effective team would re- quire a stricter program, more school coverage, and more inter- est from students. If these teams continue to get their deserved recognition, the fans could look forward to a better future for the sport. , Behind The Scenes 279 Mr. Dennis Trerotola sets up his camera to do what he does best- photograph.

I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord, and across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of I, footprints in the sand, one belonged to me, the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before us, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I also notice that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of my life. fx This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord ob-t it. Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way, but I noticed Mo that during the most troublesome time in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why in times when I needed you most, you would leave me. ' ' The Lord replied, My precious, precious child, ,AY I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you. 'Ulf Aw To Tina, stron in fait and a believer that the Footprint poem will lead to a happy life. . .

Often, you have brightened up my day just by your saying, Hi. I have grown with you, fellow seniors of the Class of '88. For the past four years, I have gained many friendships that I will always cherish. Together, we have gone through bad times as well as good times. And now, our years here. are coming to an end. We shall soon be graduating and going our own separate ways. I wish you the best of luck in the future. You, the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, have enabled me to grow more as a person. By all the support you ha ve given me and by the friendship I ha ve had with you, I became more and more outgoing than ever before. I accepted you, and you accepted me. Because of all that I have been taught by you, the faculty and administration, I now ha ve a solid foundation for college. Plus, by knowing you on a more personal level and not just as teachers and staff, I had an easier time learning, being conscious of the fact that you are there to help me grow, not to get me. To Henry, Tessie, and Rodney, you and I have been through a lot together over the past year. I will always remember all the times we 've shared. Let this year be one that we will never forget. l will miss you all: the entire Student Body, and administration. You have given me the most important gifts of all, the gifts of yourselves.

Elizabeth ond Jessico BEEN HERE Oliver North testifies as a key offi- cial in the plan to finance the Nica- raguan rebels with money from the arms sales to iran. He became somewhat of a celebrity when he testified in Washington. Controversy People were riveted to their television sets. The fa- vorite topics of conservation were the personalilites of the witnesses, lawyers, and con- gressmen involved in the in- famous Iran-Contra hear- ings. It was the summer of 1987 when the mystery of who knew what concerning the sale of arms to Iran and the diversion of funds to the Contras took precedence over daytime soaps. Lieuten- ant Colonel Oliver North, who presented one of the most important testimonies, was the most appealing fi- gure. He revealed secrets of the executive branch to the nation. To some, he was con- sidered a hero, but according to senior Jesus Gonzales, Oliver North a hero? No, he's a fad. Heroes last. Where's Ollie now? Controversy also prevailed when President Ronald Rea- gan nominated Robert Bork for the appointment to the Supreme Court. After heated debate, the Senate refused to accept the nomination. Sen- ior Mary McThomas agreed with the refusal. Bork has previously denied women and minorities rights in the lower courts. Denial of rights has no place in the Supreme Courtf, In early 1988, Anth- ony Kennedy became Rea- gan's second appointment to the Supreme Court.

The public was constantly reassured that it could only be con- tracted by the exchange of body fluids. Strife in the Persian Gulf escalated. It was a relief each time a group of U.S. Naval officers returned from the center of the war between Iran and Iraq. Senior Tom Cruz was opposed to the U.S.'s presence in the Gulf. He explained, The only rea- son we are involved at all is because we don't want our prices to go up. We are risk- ing human lives for the sake of oil prices.

President Reagan talks with Soviet leader Gorbachev during arrival ceremonies at the White l-louse. The two superpower leaders held a three-day summit meeting in De- cember and signed a nuclear arms control agreement. Robert Bork faces the reality of the rejection of his nomination to the Supreme Court by a 58-42 vote. As a judge, he was alternately por- trayed as a brilliant jurist and a dan- gerous extremist. S In an effort to keep the Persian Gulf open to navigation, the United States Navy escorts vessels to pro- tect them from Iran. An Iranian ship which was caught laying mines in the gulf was blown up by the U.S. Navy in September. I Politics 319 Baseball fans nationwide were kept in fanatic suspense as they witnessed the Minne- sota Twins skirt through skepticism winning the World Series title in October. Breaking through their ninth best ranking and their underdog label, the Twins became World Series cham- pions by winning four out of the seven rounds. Likewise, in January of 1988, American football fans engaged in the ritual of witnessing another spectacular Superbowl with the Washington Redskins winning a 42-10 victory over the Denver Broncos. This Pride Promotes Unity fantastic victory could not have been acquired without the superb performance by the Redskins quarterback, Doug Williams. Moreover, senior Peter Liu added that the Superbowl was less en- joyable than previous years because the Redskins were far more superior than the Broncos, making the game quite monotonous. Even more exciting than the World Series and Super- bowl combined was the American acquisition of the renowned America's Cup by Dennis Conner.

The Twins broke through their consecutive losing slump to prove their underdog label false. 320 Reflections On The Year pleted a 4-0 sweep over Aus- tralia's Kookaburra III, and Conner returned trium- phantly to his hometown, San Diego, amidst the cheers of the entire nation. None- theless, in the Winter Olym- pics of 1988 at Calgary, Can- ada, Brian Boitano, from Sunnyvale, California, be- came the first American Olympic athlete of the year to win a gold medal. He earned the prestigious award for his outstanding perfor- mances in the widely viewed Men's Figure Skating Com- petition. His tiebreaking vic- tory over his chief competi- tor, Canada's Brian Orsl earned Boitano an hon which united the America people in the spirit of t Olympic Games.
