... in Service T A here has always been a tradition of service at Malden Catholic. A school has true significance only if the lives touched by it in some way touch the lives of others. This commitment of service is a tradition we continue not because we have to help but because we want to help. We always try to share the gifts and talents given to us by God that we may help both ourselves and others to live better and happier lives. Each year collections of food, money, and clothing are made for special organizations. Those organizations who were touched by the efforts of M.C. students include Por Christo, Oxfam America, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, the Haitian Orphanage for Boys, and the Pine Sreet Inn. M.C. students participated in events such as Red Cross Blood Drives and the Walk for Hunger. Seniors participated in special service programs in community grammar schools. Through such efforts a bridge of love was built between Malden Catholic and the communities around it. This bridge of love with the ' outside ' world cannot equal that which it has with its students. Through numerous ex- 9 tracurricular activities, talents were discovered and shared. Through our encounters and experiences, we grew as human individuals. As we grew, Malden Catholic grew. Malden Catholic became our home. Though we were not able to save the entire world, we made our little corner of it a better place to live in. R

JL or us, the most important thing about school seemed not to be what we learned rather who we met. It is those people who touched our hearts that we remember most. It is those people with whom we laughed, cried, and succeeded who became intricate parts of our lives. They made us value our lives more and the gifts we shared with them. Together we created the spirit and warmth which makes Malden Catholic a place very dear to our hearts. We remember our subtle amusements which became more complex and unique as the years progressed. We remember talking with friends in the cafeteria before school. We remember the diversified personalities of the faculty and staff. We remember our conversations with teachers who soon became some of our dearest friends. We remember the patience and dedication of the coach who made us feel special. We remember the tears we shed for them all when we said goodbye. That feeling of love never dies; it is forever a part of the memories of our hearts. The dreams, the love, and the memories are the people who are Malden Catholic to us. 10
