S-t-r-e-t-c-h those muscles before a tough powder- puff practice knows junior Angie DeCaen. This year marked the first annual powdcr-pufT game with teams representing each grade level. They may have only just begun but. the freshman proved that they had just as much spirit as any other class. Throughout the entire Spirit Week the fresh- man gained the most spirit points, capturing the Spirit Trophy . The Big Picture? What does that mean? Is that the name of the book?” What’s the picture of? Who's in this ’Big Picture’ and who took it? These are just a few of the ques- tions that you may have been ask- ing of the yearbook staff recently and hopefully they ve referred you to this, the opening, for the answers. The Big Picture is the theme, not the title of the 1988 edi- tion of the Clarion (the real title). The Big Picture is one of not just the school or individuals but, of the entire Divine Child High School With a magical halftime performance under their belts senior Matt Maxowski and sophomore Kevin Trapp stand at attention ready to march off the field. The band and majorettes practiced for endless hours to perfect their routines. Photo by: Craines community» which is showcased in the Family Ablum begining on page ninety-eight. The pictures are of the events, the dances, the peo- ple and places that made the year. The Big Picture is a culmination of these pictures that give you the overall view, picture of the whole school year. There is a great deal of work and planning that goes into a successful school year. Our job was to capture that on film, to make a perment record of those things. We were to create a lasting image in your minds of the 1987-1988 Divine Child H.S. year. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, and, hopefully, The Big Picture we've captured hold a thousand memories for you. by: K. Duffy Opening 3

 tie 0Ttus... The Makings of a Wonderful Year Picture this...Divine Child High School and everything it is made up of. This division of the Clarion is designed to show you how the stu- dent body fits into the Big Picture that is DC. Picture This... Everyday from 8 to 2:30 the halls of DC are filled with the faces of the student body. It’s not unusual to see an occasional freshman, teacher or senior scurrying down the hall with an arm-load of books. With the new three minute class exchange, students are constantly moving from Algebra to Biology to Religion classes. Day after day, students move from class to class For the first time in two years, the Homecoming parade actually made it to the pavement. Senior Captain Tina Gruchala marched her last parade and performed her last half-time show on that day. Photo by: K. Salmonson without really thinking about where they are going. This endless monotony, however, is broken by the extracurricular activities planned by and for the student body. The first big event of the year is Homecoming. This year's theme, DC's Magic Kingdom, was a take off of The Wonderful World of Disney”, with each celebrated theme relating to a Disney charac- ter. And as usual. Homecoming was a big success with the student body. Shortly after this, our fall play, Dracula, really brought the house down (and bats, tool). It's haunting success was not unusual of DC drama. Starting off the new year right, both the Sadies Hawkins and the Sweetheart dances were major successes, with a great turnout from the student body. In March, the lovely sounds of music were heard as the spring musical The Sound of Music” hit the stage. And, after much waiting, the Junior- Senior Prom was held at the Fair- lane Club on May IS, with the theme of The Best of Times . And final- ly, on June 5, the Seniors graduated (on the latest graduation date so fart). Despite the delay, it was a happy day! As you can see. each and every one of these events falls into the Big Picture that is Divine Child. • The happy and sad times all come together, as we invite you to Pic- ture This...0 by: T.
