to stardom through all channels; As DC was celebrating its first twenty five years of existence, many changes occurred. Principal for the last seventeen years, Sr. Mary Gerald was elected Superior General of the Bernardine Franciscan Sisters. Sr. Christen, head of the English department, was chosen to succeed her as principal. Despite a change in leadership, the 1983 school year was a grand success for the administration. Sr. Christen and pastor, Fr. Kucyk, quickly directed the cast of students to a year of academic and athletic gains. The students were reminded that although DC made it through the first twenty five years, the next ones are going to need the same strong leadership and cooperation. (3) (I) Freshman class advisor.

Bonnie Adler Guidance Counselor Sr. Annuncia Librarian Jacqueline Bacus English Faculty prods students to 'Reach for the Stars’ A television director works with his crew, minimizing flaws, ironing out small imperfections, and finally making sure that nothing but the best is the final result. The ’83 DC faculty works with all students in much the same way. Through their innovative and extremely effective teaching methods, the staff has helped to strengthen the bond of unity between teachers and students, and has re-emphasized the importance of a tradition which everyone can be proud of—a tradition of winning. Once the cameras are on and the film is rolling, there is no turning back. It is now up to the cast and crew to take into consideration everything that the director has taught them, and to use their talents wisely. Students have gained much throughout the year, and in turn, benefit others with their special talents. They send thanks to the outstanding direction which the faculty has given.
