hoever wrote Good things come in small packages must have had Mrs. Gabriela Diaz in mind. This generous and energetic woman is a blessing to anyone whose life she touches. Mrs. Diaz came to Cathedral five years ago, bringing with her a major in journalism, a minor in English, and a desire to teach. She taught and still teaches sophomore English and speech classes, and has been the sponsor of Homeroom 22 for four years. She is co-moderator of the National Honor Society and a member of the Cathedral School Board. ln the five years that she has been in charge of the Journalism Department, the quality of the school newspaper has steadily improved. Also beginning last year, she assumed the position of yearbook moderator. She puts a lot of time, care, and effort into whatever she does, and it shows. Aside from her dedication as a teacher, Mrs. Diaz is an extremely kind and generous person, and often goes out of her way to help people. She also possesses a warm sense of humor that is evident even in the face of dark cynicism, utter failure, and total disaster. On top of all her achievements and personal qualities, Mrs. Diaz bears the marvelous gift of life. Pregnancy and childbearing are everyday events, and we sometimes are blind to the wonder and the magic of the beginning of life. The way in which nature recycles itself is no less than miraculous, and Mrs. Diaz has brought this miraculousness to Cathedral. For her devotion as a teacher, for her kindness and generosity, for her warm sense of humor, for the life she bears, and for being overall a wonderful person, we dedicate the 1983 Chapparal to Mrs. Gabriela Diaz Calbeit without her knowledge, of coursej.
