' 82-June ' 83 Mary Star of the Sea High School Crowd Pleasers 1982 showed a lot of changes — bright new faces emerged on the scene, and nnany familiar ones moved on. Loss of teachers, counselor changes, and crowded hallways made themselves evi- dent. Several new organizations were founded, which offered students a variety of choices. All of this provided a sense of en- thusiasm as it began a year that would be filled with treasured moments. During lunch, students take time out of their busy schedules to pose for the camera. Friendship shares the spirit of the sky and the splendor of a new day. Anonymous The most exciting moment of the school year was going to Coco ' s after the game and fitting 10 people into a 4 seater booth. Paula Manzella 22 Underclassmen Star Log 1983 San Pedro, California volume 1; Issue 1 Student Life A student ' s lite in school is ab- solutely nothing. Simple routines of the school day far surpass the physical limits of MSSHS. It is our friends, our teams, our clubs, our events — our LIVES! Student Life finds us in search of ourselves. Learning, loving, laughing, and crying — there is nothing like the time we are living.

He knew they needed leaders who would represent them and fight for them in times of depression and despair. God asked the Juniors who they felt were the most responsible. Vito Russo. Wendy Redlew and Renee Ivlarinkovich were chosen. They were the most down to earth . To distinguish them from all the others, they chose the colors pink and gray and the song Good- bye to represent their class. This year, our Junior year, we have grown, found out who we really are, and more important, who others are. Yes, I ' m sure we will all agree, our Sophomore year was tough. We were constantly being blam- ed for everything, and there were a few who had to be pointed out. But . . . we are stronger now and are pulling together, becoming closer as friends and lunatics .

They play just like us, believe it or not. A full day of teaching, combined with the stress of dealing with such darling, cooperative students can bring anyone to the brink of a nervous breakdown, so these dedicated profes- sionals unwind by dancing, jogging, reading, and just plain having fun. Without these oc- casional escapes from their hectic days, our wonderful teachers would not be able to enlighten, instruct, and brighten our days in school. 74 Teachers at Play 1.

No matter what the activity may be, our spirited Stars look good wherever they go or whatever they do! i Activities 83 STARS EXPLORE THE MANY Last summer, ten students from Mary Star had the unique opportunity to travel to Europe with Giovanni ' s Student Tours. They toured Europe by bus with forty other high school students from Southern California. The various countries they visited included England, Holland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, and France. For twenty-six days these students experienced the different cultures and customs of these foreign lands, many of which are different from those we have in America. For instance, they were required to pay the bathroom atten- dant before they were allowed to use the facilities. Although all the students enjoyed themselves thoroughly, there were moments when they experienced sheer exhaustion brought on by marathon bus rides (the longest was ten hours) , lack of sleep, and late nights out on the town. Among the sites they took in were the Crown Jewels, the house of Anne Frank, the Cologne Cathedral, the Rhine River, the Vatican, fvlichelangelo ' s David, the Swiss Alps, the Arc de Triomphe, and the ■) fvlona Lisa. Just about the only discomfort they experienced was in Italy due to the stifling Mediterranean heat. Even though there were some rough times, they were overshadowed by the enthusiasm and spirit of the students. Most will remember their travels with great fondness. 1. A shoe factory in Holland. 2.

(L ' Avare) . On October 8th, 9th, and 10th, drama students staged the difficult Moliere work in Marion Hall. The show averaged a sell-out for all three evenings. The Miser featured a cast of fifteen which included Robert Koval as the spend-thrifty Harpagon; Paul Kaloper as the foppish son, Cleante; and Diana Andersen as Elise, Harpagon ' s daughter. Valere was portrayed by senior Richard Aceves; Marianne by Tara McArdle; and Frosine, the adventuress, by Wendy Redlew. Eric Binkley was featured in a dual role of Seigneur Anselme and Merluche, a servant. Andrea Amalfitano played the role of Master Simon, an in- termediary. Cook and coachmen to Harpagon was Master Jacques portrayed by Andrew Acalinovich. Other servant roles were held by Julianna Roeland, Theresa Lerma, and David Sepulveda. Jerry Carnevale was the officer. Lighting technician for The Miser was Paul Hobus. The Miser, under the direction of Joseph Cottone, was begun during a summer workshop. Much care was given to authenticity and detail of the seven- teenth century work and Moliere ' s wit. Elaborate costumes and wigs were used. A temporary stage, which simulated a stage of Versailles, proved very effec- tive in setting the play. Each evening truly gave an aura of a performance worthy of the Palais Royal. 86 The Miser 1.

Freshmen had their first shot at showing their spirit by dressing in 50 ' s style: poodle skirts, saddle shoes, jeans, t-shirts, etc. Sophomores, decked out in Western gear, sponsored the frozen-bubble gum chew. Bold flowers, bright colors, and grass skirts carried out the theme of Aloha Day for the Juniors, whose lunchtime activity was the water- balloon toss. For Senior Day, the Seniors dressed as nerds and participated in the obstacle course. Night activities included ice-skating, ice cream at Farrell ' s, and a car rally. 1.

As half- time approached, the cheering crowd anxious- ly awaited the announcement of who would reign as 1982 queen. The princesses, Laurie Bogdanovich, fvlaria Frka, Sandi Frka, Noelle Garcia, and Ann Lewis were chauffered around the field in shining new Fiats as the crowd shouted for their favorite princess. They were escorted up the red carpet by their proud fathers. The moment intensified and a hush fell over the crowd as fvlonsignor Kiefer approach- ed the microphone with envelope in hand.

Because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude. Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly; Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly; Then, heigh-ho, the holly! This life is most jolly. Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky. That dost not bite so nigh As benefits forgot; Though thou the waters warp, Thy sting is not so sharp As friends remember ' d not. Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly; Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly; Then, heigh-ho, the holly! This life is most jolly. — William Shakespeare Christmas ' 82 105 I I Stars Bring Smiles of On December 16, the O.P.

Twenty-five years later, this friend- ship has nurtured into an everlasting bond of wisdonn for all who have encountered her warmth, grace, and charm. This year the priests, sisters, faculty, students, and alumni applauded as we payed tribute to this rare in- dividual who has given numerous hours of herself in dedicated service to the fostering growth of Catholic education. It is not quantity of time or endurance of efforts which made an individual stand out from her peers. It is the quality which imprints itself into the minds and memories of all that never goes forgotten. We are a community of Individuals giving credit to such a woman. It is truly a remarkable talent which we all admire, long to achieve, and a privelege to have accomplished for others to see. As the years continue to pass, look not into the past, for you have only achieved a beginning. Continue to grow and perceive to the future in forming new begin- nings, for is it not a truly wonderful feeling in knowing you will always be remembered with wonderful memories, beautiful words, and kind affection, than to never have been remembered at all? On behalf of the student body at Mary Star of the Sea High School, we would like to congratulate you on such an honor. HAPPY 25th ANNIVERSARY Mrs. TAVERNIER! 1.

Well, although they were immediately followed by those lazy, hazy summer days, these newly elected officers were put straight to work on the Fiesta. From then on the action never stop- ped. Dedicated, willing, and able, each of these super individuals spent many hard-working hours to promote, help, and organize assorted activities for each of our classes. Ranging from the regular monthly meetings to assisting on the evaluation of our school last Fall, these eager students were persistent in whatever problem they had to tackle. Although each officer worked hard for each of their classes, they also worked together in many projects. Along with the administration, tvlr. fvlarkey, and the A.S.B. these qualified of- ficers were not only great friends, but excellent leaders. 1 I ' 1. Sophomore officers: Spirit Comm.

The Sacred Heart Retreat Camp in Big Bear was the site of the annual retreat, held this year on February 1, 2, and 3. Fifty-four Seniors left on a Tuesday afternoon for the show covered mountains. Miraculously, they made it there in one piece. (Even with Jim and Dash as their bus drivers.) For two days they prayed, sang, cried, ran from killer dogs, and played in the snow. It was a unifying ex- perience as well as a shocking one to see one another in the early morning light, especially since there were too few plugs for hair dryers, curling irons, and coffee pots. The activities were organized by Father Larry, Sister Joan, Mr. Markey, Mrs. Sutlovich, and Mrs. DiLeva. Talent night provided an array of hidden — but ob- viously not hidden well enough — talent. Some of the performers were: Joe Mr. Excitement Sinagra, Pete Take It Off Boskovich, and Missy and Krissy with their weenie gang. Special moments included the exchanging of Kris Kins, letters from teachers, and the I ' m Sorry talk. We want to express our thanks to all who helped make this retreat a time that will always be a cherish- ed memory. v Ife .. L '  1 4 j l ij 1. So much to write in so little space! 2.

We came together so far apart: Now we go, holding each other close to our hearts. We came in strangers, Now we are leaving as friends. And please remember. When you see a sunrise, always remember me; And when you see a sunset, remember the retreat of ' 83. By: Anne McDade REMEMBER Remember the days Up in the snow All of our friends And no place to go Singing and praying All through the day Makes you feel glad That you got away Treasure these memories Deep in your heart Knowing we ' re good friends And will never part But the time must come When we all go home But never forget You ' re not alone! By: Richard Castro FT- Senior Retreat I I 111 Ski Club Travels to 1 On February 10, thirty-one members of the Mary Star Ski Club boarded the bus that would eventually deliver them, ten hours later, to Alpine Place in Lake Tahoe, California. After a one mile hike, for lack of a ski shuttle, we finally arrived at the slopes. The scenery was beautiful and the conditions were excellent for skiing on the first day. The hard core skiers braved a blizzard to get in a second day of skiing. However, the fun that was had off the slopes more than made up for this; snowball fights, sledding, card tricks, and avalanches all helped to occupy our free time. The chaperones Mr. Nicholls, Mr. Markey, Mr, Burke, and Rick Robles, along with Jake, the bus driver, helped to add life and excitement to the trip. They participated in all the activities, and had a great time. The drive home was a long one, but Mr. Nicholls kept us all entertained by reading Real Women Don ' t Pump Gas to an appreciative crowd. Stopping on the way home in Sacramento, cruising around the Capitol Building and visiting Old Sacramento helped to break up the monotony of the twelve hour trip. The Sacramento stop along with Ann ' s Stop the bus Jake, it ' s moving! , concluded a fun trip. 1. They told me how to stop, but it isn ' t working. 2. If you can ' t hack it Pat, leave now. 3.

Work, Work, Work. Mary Star students not only kept busy with school and activities, but many also had part-time jobs. Whether pushing shopping carts or selling merchandise, these young people got into the real world and made real money. Earning their own money, these young enterprisers got an early start on learning to save, budget, and most impor- tantly to spend their hard earned cash. Although the teenage employment scene was pretty bleak, in most cases anyone desiring a job usually found one. ' ' m ' r ' n students at Work 115 II Save a Life. . . Give Blood!

Corps Stages Bloodmobile February 23 marked the day of the ninth annual Blood- mobile held in the Mary Star Auditorium. Recruiting began weeks before the actual day by members of the O.P. Corps. Students, family, and friends were encouraged to donate a pint of blood. The famed Red Cross slogan: Save a Life, Give Blood could be seen everywhere on posters around campus. The goal of 80 pints of blood was surpassed by six. One week prior to the Bloodmobile, an assembly was held for the students and faculty promoting donation of blood. Talks were given by Brenda Stevenson, a Red Cross worker, and Mrs. Rich, who is on a kidney machine and is in need of blood often. The assembly helped clear any confusion and answered questions about donating blood. On the actual day of the Bloodmobile, those brave and courageous enough to give blood were seen in the auditorium biting their nails and ready to bolt out the door any second (with some exceptions) . After the initial prick of the needle, though, the act of donating blood wasn ' t so painful. Home baked cookies and orange juice were serv- ed after the ordeal to regain strength. 1.

It was later in the year this year than last, which brought about more excitement and en- thusiasm. Suprisingly enough, each Junior was dressed in the classy colors of pink and grey, EACH AND EVERY JUNIOR! The Class of ' 84 with the theme Juniors — Moving For- ward ... As One, processed down the main aisle with Sylvia Bauer and Janell Zuliani br- inging up the rear on their crutches. (Everyone sure got a big kick out of that one!) As snapshots were taken, the Junior Class realized that this was something just for them, a ceremony held in their honor. Growing older together, we share the process of ex- perience with one another. When Cardinal Manning blessed the rings, our class unity became an individual realization. After the ceremony, the Juniors had lunch, put on by the Sophomore Class. We shared our rings and watched a slide show put on by our class officers, showing slides of friends. The day was a complete success because of the hard work done by the class moderator, Mr. O ' Keeffe, and the Junior Class officers, Vito Russo, Wendy Redlew and Renee Marinkovich. Thanks for making the day so special! 1 1 8 Junior Ring Ceremony Junior Ring Ceremony It isfl symbol of love for us The Junior rings that have jj n blessed It has brought out the ohct ss we share as a class, % ■ ' ii ' As we joined together in th|Ppecial fnass ' ,J= B| an excerpt from a poerrt Beth SuUivi w Friday February 25, 1983 Junior Ring Ceremony 119 I I THE SOUND OF MUSIC IS PRESENTED BY AN ALL- STAR CAST On April 22, 23, and 24th, the nrama Department staged the musical The Sound of Music.

Clubs 145 Star Log 1983 Sept. 82-June ' 83 Mary Star of the Sea High School Stars in Motion Breaking new pain barriers everyday, an athlete ' s lite is never easy. The conditioning, training, the endless hours practicing, the sore muscles, and the dinner, study, and bed routine, required out ot sheer exhaustion. Why? Because of the physical agility, the stamina, the perseverance, the team work and the fun (yes, there is that too) , but most of all because of the thrill of competing. Perhaps that is why Mary Star maintains a winning reputa- tion — it really is how the game is played. From the players, to the coaches, to the fans, there is nothing like the thrill of competition. ifebi lsesH 146 Sports •Star Log 1983 San Pedro, Ca ifornia Vo ume 1 ; Issue 6 Being Number One In areas of competition, Mary Star of the Sea High School offers an extensive athletic program which strives to be number one.

It was hard for the team to sustain last year ' s winning streak because there were few returning lettermen. The team ' s major strong point was its defense. Consistently throughout the year, the Stars relied on defense specialists Jerry Duhovic, Joe Cortez, Joe Dragich, VInce Andrle, and the fi ary Star Sack Exchange — Mario Montoya and Andrew Linares. Offensively, when the going was tough, the Stars gave the ball to 5 ' 9 , 1 55 pound Junior running back Bobby Gonzales. He took the ball 88 times for 881 yards rushing. He also had seven touchdowns. But quarterback Joe Cortez did not always hand-off to Bobby. He liked to take to the air. During the year he had 42 completions for a total of 551 yards. His favorite targets were Mike Giardino and Trace Parham. who both caught eight passes, and Nick Uruburu. Although the team failed to make the play-offs, next year it will have 18 return- ing lettermen with at least one year ' s ex- perience behind them. This should put the team where it belongs — back in the play-offs and challenging Verbum Dei for first place once again in the Camino Real League in the 1983-1984 football season. 1. Run. Joe.

Finishing with a 5-5 league record, the Stars were led by the vicious spiking of Senior Michele Ogle, and the smooth setting of Sophomore Danielle Carrolle. Con- tributing to the Stars success was the all-round playing ability of Junior Melanie Jones, and Sophomore Jackie Duhovic.

Volleyball JV ' s Learn From Experience Accustomed to coaching on the Varsity level, adjustment to the Junior Varsity was a challenge for Sandy Simich. The dif- ference is teaching the girls the rules and fundamentals of play, opposed to working with girls who already knew how. Made up of mostly inexperienced Freshmen, this was truly a learn- ing year. The big thrill for the J.V. ' s came early in the season when they defeated St. Bernard. Junior Cindy Karmelich was the main setter for the Stars, and Freshman Shawn Brunson showed most progress throughout the year by moving up to Varsity and playing in their playoff game. i m _K h ' 1.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER Luis Pinon Mary Star fulfilled their dream of starting a Cross Country Pro- gram this past year. Headed by Co-Coaches Gennaro DiMassa and Mike Moretine, runners met at Peck Park on September 1st, a week before school began. Nine days later Mary Star had their first win at their first meet against Cantwell by a score of 23-33. From there, Luis Pinon won his first six Cross Country meets by reasonable distances. Often finishing right behind Luis were seniors Bert Gomez and Scott Holzbauer. Supporting these three runners were underclassmen Joe Barile and Tim Braheem.

The team finished at an impressive 4th place in the competitive Camino Real League with a 4-4 record. The team is looking forward to an even better year next season with returnees Barile, Braheem, Ponce De Leon, Glen, Reskusich, Tocco, and the Dukesherer brothers, Joe and Bob. x . s? .S-M it ■ 3 Crosscountry 161 Varsity Has Very Successful Season Guided by 2nd year Varsity Coach Charles Johnson and his assistant coaches, Kenny Johnson and Jeff Johnson, the Boys ' Basketball Team won the Camino Real League B Division with an 8-4 record. The team depended on Craig Johnson, who led the team with 20.8 points a game. He also reigned the team in assists and steals. Paul Hobus was another team leader on the floor, using his height to ad- vance the team in rebounds and blocked shots. During the course of league play, op- ponents tried to cut down on Craig and Paul ' s abilities. But another Star emerged by the name of Richard Aceves. Rich had a season high of 17 points against St. Monica. Also emerging on the scene was Jumpin Joe Dragich, who played excep- tional defense. Next year. Coach Johnson will be depen- ding on Mike Doktorczyk and Paul Gaines to lead the team to the half-pennant. These two players were among the team ' s leaders in points and rebounds and should take the team to the division title again.

' s finished with a 7-13 record this season, the players had a change of attitude from the beginning of the season to the end. At the begin- ning of the season, players were holding back. After a couple of close games, the team changed their attitude when they beat Serra, 53-45. Led by the two big men, John Basich and Rob Doktorczyk, their attitude changed from negative to positive. Working the ball inside, Basich scored in double figures every game. Lit- tle Doc played exceptional defense while co-captains Nick Uruburu and Jim Bobich show- ed great leadership on the court. Off the bench, JW often called on Tim Braheem, Lilo Aguello, and Eric Kyle Klepl. The bench played an important role in a late season victory over the St. Monica Mariners. Four players fouled out as the bench kept the Stars on the vic- tory side, 60-58. Coach Jim Wetmore felt that his players had a learning ex- perience — both mentally and physically — this season. Although the team had a losing record, each player now has a winning attitude which should stay with him for years to come. 166 JV Basketball JV BASKETBALL Opponent NE THEM 2 Hawthorne ; Milikan 53 Serra ; Pius X ( Miraleste !

The girls ' junior varsity basketball team had a rough season this year. First, co- captain, Deann Papadakus, dribbled into the lime light of the Varsity team. Second, the Stars were plag ued with in- juries. Three of the ten players were on the disabled list by mid-season, and three others followed close behind. Finally, our team consisted of a sea of new faces — eight of the ten players were freshmen. Put- ting these handicaps behind us, our team amazingly managed to finish third, even though we were forced to play with four players in some games. Standout players on the team were: Co-captain, sophomore, Jenifer Dzida, averaging 10 points a game, and freshman Tonia Reynolds, running the team from her point guard position. 1.

In a league where just about any team can finish in first with a bit of luck and skill, Coach Des Walker feels that with three returning all-leaguers and a great infield, Mary Star can be that team. Coach will be depending on Richard Castro, Joe Cor- tez, Bobby Gonzales, Roman Meacham and Art Her- rera for getting the big runs. On the mound, Cortez again will be counted on.
