Excellence In Academics KA alden Catholic is first and 1 foremost dedicated to excellence in academics. As a college preparatory school, M.C. strove to develop, enrich, and inspire our minds — to ready us academically for the future. The caring and talented members of the M.C. faculty worked to pass on not only their knowledge, but their enthusiasm for learning as well. The academic standards which we had to meet were not easy ones, but they did produce many impressive results. As always, students won academic awards and gained other distinctions. Recognition from the National Merit Scholarship Program and the success which we had as a class in gaining acceptance to college were just two indications of the quality of an M.C. education. As our lives progress, we come to appreciate this education even more and to value the time we spent in the classroom. We learned at Malden Catholic that education is much more than mere job preparation; it is a process of inquiry that betters anyone with a genuine interest. Having benefited from Malden Catholic ' s special commitment to the process, we left better equipped to face the future and to guide the direction of our lives.

Excellence In Athletics A thletics played an important role during our four years at Malden Catholic. With the interscholastic and intramural programs, we all had many opportunities to develop physically and emotionally through sports. Improved fitness, the values and lessons which are learned from being part of a team, and increased school spirit were some of the benefits of the athletic program. Everyone had the chance to participate, and the number of people who did so reached a record level during our four years. Even those members of the M.C. community who were not active participants were able to get involved by supporting the teams in their pursuits. The Lancers had their share of outstanding teams while we were at Malden Catholic. Although not all of the seasons were winning ones, superior individual performances could always be found. While these teams and individuals were outward signs of the success of M.C. ' s athletic program, the friendships which were formed, the personal development which took place, and the lasting memories which were created were the true indication of Malden Catholic ' s dedication to excellence in athletics.
