This year ' s Stella Maris staff chose as their theme a phrase that can be heard quite often on our campus. How many times will you hear a friend say . . . remember when . . .? Every moment we spend together — in small groups of friends, in individual classes, as an entire stu- dent body; becomes a memory. These memories we will always recall as part of the best times of our lives. We all have experiences that merit the do you remember . . .7 question. These times involve not only in- dividuals within the student body, but also teachers, coaches, clergy, counselors, and staff. Because of our i n t r 2 Introduction Section BEGINNING size, we have the opportunity to share our high school years with a number of various types of people. We find it much easier to develop friendships with students in other classes and with our instructors. These special relationships form unique memories for us. There exists a feeling of genuine concern through these friendships. Our aim is to ca ' pture these friendships during the time we spend together so that we will always remember and never forget the special feeling we have for our school. d u c t i o n Do You Remember? . . . Can We Forget? dedicated to Coach Simich The 1983-1984 school year is Ms. Sandy Simich ' s tenth anniversary at Mary Star. For this reason, among others, the yearbook staff has decided to dedicate this year ' s book to Coach. For the 1984 graduating class. Coach is more than just a teacher or a dean. She is respected and admired by all. She is more than dedicated to her job, she is dedicated to the school and the students. Coach ' s sense of humor sets people at ease and makes them iee ' comfortable. Coach, we ' re thankful for you and love you. Happy 10th Anniversar d Introduction Sect ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY 1983-1984 We, the people of the Associated Student Body, in order to form a more perfect stu- dent government, establish a democratic leadership within a Christian environment, insure school spirit and student in- volvement by providing ex- tracurricular activities, promote social awareness and secure academic achievement. For the Stars, we establish and guarantee these constitutional rights. We will always be. Star of the Sea. 1 devt ' K p.)

Look at us now, we ' re Seniors, at the top, and it won ' t be soon ul at the bottom once again. As Freshmen, our class was pretty independent. We did our own thing and made c new friends in the process. Those were the friends that would be ours for the next four years. Our Sophomore and Junior years were the toughest with all the homework and cramming for tests. The class of ' 84 is such a special one. Not just because we think so, but because others think so as well. We have so many leaders in our class, so many talents, and most of all so many people that CARE! We ' ve pne through all the stages of rowing-up together, and ose times we ' ll never forget! We ' ll always stand loyal to the Blue and Gold and cherish the life it has given us. The Class of ' 84 is the thirtieth class to graduate from M.S.S.H.S., and we ' re proud!!!

Enthusiastic students got into the Homecoming spirit by par- ticipating in the various class spon- sored events. Lunchtime events had students chugging rootbeer, struggl- ing through an obstacle course, try- ing their hand at voUebyall, and dan- cing to the sounds of a band. During the nights, there was ice skating, a movie, pizza, miniature golf, and Girls ' Volleyball vs. Bishop. Through the week, students and faculty waited eagerly for the big game against crosstown rivals Bishop Mon- tgomery. The day finally arrived. With the game just hours away, the pep squads put on a spirited pep ral- ly highlighted by the crowning of this year ' s Homecoming Queen , Jason Jessica Rackeman and the awarding of the spirit stick to the Sophomores. At the game, the Stars held the Knights to a final score of 17-17. Half time included the pep squads ' performance to this year ' s theme Make It Great , a presenta- tion from the Stars to Phil Jennings, and the crowning of Queen Gina Katnich. Her princesses are Amy Hershman, Renee Marinkovich, Jen- ny Sova and Tracy Walther. Satur- day ' s dance brought the star-studded week to a memorable close. 54 Activities Section 4 - rALJVl rKlJ Hj UK KU lII! This year ' s student council started a new tradition, a summer weekend retreat which deals with planning events for the upcoming year. The council felt very positive and excited about the planned activities for the 1983-84 school year. But even more importantly, the council got to know each other a lot better. Each set of class officers and the ASB were responsible for cooking one meal during the weekend. E ach group planned a menu within a limited budget. Their first stop in Palm Springs was the grocery store. They all made a mad rush for the food, most of which was junk . Yes, the Palm Springs locals gave them the stare — but who cared? They were having a great time! Day sessions were held to plan 56 Activities Section upcoming events. There was even time for rest and relaxation. They also attended mass together on Saturday night. To end the trip with a bang, the van got a flat tire on the freeway — how typical! No one cared though because the weekend had been such a great success. The only regret some said, was eating too many twinkles and otter pops!!! 1. Oh my God, I don ' t believe I said that in front of Sr. Dorothea. 2. Our Palm Springs Gang. 3. The 3-J ' s — All American kids cookin ' up an all American meal! 4. FLAT as a pancake. 5. So this is what Amy and Jeanna look like in the morning! t i COMON AND MAKE IT GREAT! If you ever drove by school in the morning during summer, you would have seen all the pep squads hard at work perfecting their routines. Why were these routines practiced so early in the summer you ask? Well, on July 5th all pep squads were to be on their way to USA camp in Santa Barbara. Every summer the new pep squads go to USA camp for four days to learn routines, cheers, and chants for the upcoming year. There are many dif- ferent workshops to attend each day, including unity workshops and Cap- tain ' s Corner ' . On the second day, each squad is evaluated on their home routine, and are given ribbons based on the level of performance. Everyone became a lot closer over those four days and did many crazy things. People expressed their excite- ment in many strange ways. They jumped in the pool with clothes on. showed their love of Peter Con- nie (. . . he ' s got the looks, got the bod . . .), made ' fuzzy ducks , dressed up like total nerds, and some even felt the need to be just like a flower . . Each squad also met different squads from other schools and became close companions for those four, hard- working days . . . We made the time we had at camp the best it could be, the songs we ' ll always remember sung by Peter Durgee. The four days went by awfully quick, but in that time we proved we were united by bringing home the SPIRIT STICK! 1. A hug a day -keeps the lonelies away. 2. This saying sums up our stay at USA. 3. Flash ' em that Mary Star Spirit!!! 4.

Dressing in the theme of the 50 ' s and 60 ' s and danc- ing to the Oldies but Goodies helped promote school spirit. For the incoming freshmen, this was the perfect time to make new friends as well to become acquainted with school social activities. The up- perclassmen were given the chance to renew old friendships and to mingle with others, as well as just having a great time. The Welcome Back Dance was a huge success, financially as well as socially! 1 . Kelly Busia and Rich Collins strut their stuff. 2. The Welcoming Committee. 3. Hey baby, what ' s shakin ' ? 4.

The cast had some dif- ficult tasks ... to present a play in pan- tomime and to achieve the New England accent, which is easier said than done. After a long summer of hard work, the Our Town cast overcame all obstacles and proudly presented their performance on November 12th, 13th and 14th. The actors should be congratulated for their authentic por- trayal of life and death. Our Town was a new dramatic experience in that it challenged not only the actors, but the audience to explore a profoundly relevant literary theme. Something to think about; Ms. Gibbs? Yes, Emily. They don ' t understand, do they? No dear, they don ' t understand. Activities 61 ilil ' E 1 i I Winter Formal Mary Star Did it in Style . . . On January 20th, the Winter Formal was held at the Reef in Long Beach. It took a lot of time and hard work to persuade the administration to allow the Seniors to hold a Formal. But, they came through and the Formal was a complete success. Maybe the food wasn ' t quite as good as everyone expected, but the dancing and socializing is what made the night. There was even a rumor going around that Boy George made a special appearance! ONE-HUNDRED AND TWO couples arrived rarin ' to go. The lights were dimmed and the Harbor lights glit- tered through the windows. What could be a better at- mosphere to spend an evening of romance in? There were four sweetheart couples, one couple from each class. Freshman — Matt Felando and Nanette Podue, Sophomore — Robby Lorenzi and Tina Urquides, Junior — Dragon Hrboka and Janet Trainotti, and Senior — Jef f Marchin and Amy Hershman.

They got first hand experience in the theory and practice of in- ternational relations. Mr. Markey, as the only male going on the trip (wonder how he managed that?), was con- tinually teased about taking his harem to New York. He met with other faculty members in New York to discuss the model United Nations program and also got to see our students in action!

King Richard I A new tradition started at MSHS this year, a Winter Homecoming for the guys called Winter Festival King . Coach Tony Dobra, along with the GAA, came up with the idea during the beginning of basketball season. Every year we have the traditional Homecoming Queen at a boys ' Varsity game during football season. Why not have a King at a GIRLS ' Varsity game dur- ing basketball season??? Precisely the reasoning of Coach Dobra! Ten Senior guys were chosen by the Senior Class, according to personality, achievement, and involvement. Five were taken from the ten which made up the court. On January 27th, the Winter Festival Princes were escorted by the Homecoming Princesses during halftime of the Girls ' Varsity game vs. St. Bernard ' s. Rich Collins was crowned as first Winter Festival King of 1984. His court was, Jeff Marchin, John Morreale, Vito Russo, and Ricardo Sepulveda. A big thanks goes to Coach Dobra and the GAA with the help of Jeanna Dragich, for the planning and preparation of this event, (the white tux was hot!)

This year, the Seniors of 1984 spent their retreat at the Sacred Heart Retreat House in Big Bear. Directed by Fr. Doran and Sr. Dorothea, they experienced the beauty of God in the Mass, the Bible, and in each other. For two days, the retreaters went from prayer to laughter to tears and back again in a matter of minutes. United in one spirit, they learned about themselves and each other, especially the fact that rooming with 30 other girls was not as fun as it seems. Finding that there was more to people than what you see, they formed new friendships and rediscovered old ones. Special memories included prayer friends, exchanging valentines, the Mass, our futures, and of course, the candle. Do you remember. Seniors? . . .

Ten of their games were decided by eight points or less. The single biggest asset of the team was their quickness. Many opponents were often seen with their tongues hanging. In fact you could get tired just watching the freshmen run up and down the court. The team was led by Darrin Domingo and Chris Holland, both whom averaged 12 points per game. The trio of J.D. Torrez, Jeric Santos, and Mike DeSisto were three of the fastest players to be seen on a basket- ball court this year. This hustling band of freshmen did their best not to let their record get them down.

Where ' s the ball ' The 1984 JV Stars have had a bit of a rollercoaster ride this year. Two straight CRL League losses at the start of the season shook us just enough to heat up our bats and begin a five-game win streak, highlighted by Lillo Augello bringing his bat- ting average to a peak at .848. Our current CRL record stands at six wins, four losses, with four league games remaining. We anticipate winning the remainder of our games, and holding undisputed possession of second place in the CRL Junior Varsity standings, certainly to be considered a successful season. In addition to Augello, several players stand out as excellent prospects for next year ' s varsity squad, including Gil Mar- quez, Bobby Bell, Paul Salazar, Tim Braheem, and Chris Sosenko. Special mention should be made of the fine job perform- ed by this year ' s team captain, Anthony Mardesich, who not only displayed outstanding abilities as our catcher, but also exhibited an excellent standard of leadership. I also want to extend a debt of gratitude to Coach Ernie Silvas, without whose help we could never have enjoyed the measure of success we ' ve had. Thanks for your support.

Spirituality Section 147 BLESS THIS BREAD . . . Students participate in several spiritual events that take place throughout the school year. Prayer services, held weekly, are usually organized by the religion classes. Monthly masses are arranged by the Liturgy Committee or by the A.S.B. Lots of work is devoted to organizing these celebrations, from choosing the readings and songs to decorating the church. December is a special month for celebration. Our Christmas Mass and December Prayer Ser- vice were beautifully done.

Many students get involved either through a club activity or by taking Christian Service. O.P. Corps is an organization completely devoted to doing volunteer work for the needy. They held their fourth annual Christmas party for the children of the Toberman Settlement pre-school on December 15. With the help of various students and Anthony Scovotto, returning as Santa Claus, Sister Dorothea was able to distribute bags filled with toys to each child. With the money collected from the Christmas Dance everyone was able to take part in bringing some joy to a child during the Christmas season. Christian Service is a Senior course taken by a few students to help in various elementary schools and hospitals, two or three times a week. For those helping in an elementary school, the work consists mainly of correcting papers and spending time with the children. Hospital work involves helping the patients and the hospital staff. There is always something to do for those students who wish to get involved.

And I saw a million lights. They sparkled and shined like a factory where stars are fashioned before they ' re blasted into the sky; Like innumerable gems of a pirate ' s treasure strewn carelessly on the beach the night cities lie. Miles away, yet only blocks, says the eye. City people, hiding from night, feeling secure, protected under the neon ' s mechanical glow Some of the lamps are moving. They bedeck cruise ships and fishing boats off the coast in L.A. harbor at San Pedro; But countless more cities that I cannot name wink at me from far up beyond the stretch of Cabrillo. City lights in September — A sight to remember! — Lisa Foley Medical death occurs after the heart has stopped beating. Real death occurs after the heart has stopped loving . . . Man can live for twenty-five days without food; ten days without water; twenty minutes without air; but not for one second without hope . . . Death is living without hope and love. — Jeff March in dull debate Isn ' t it strange that blunt speech can mean straight-to-the point in conversational life.

You will be facing the end of your time here and the beginning of a new phase of your life. Like you, I have mixed feelings about this transition. Many of you have become friends with me. All of you have grown tremendously in four years — physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. It has given me pride and joy to watch you during these four years. You have grown with the school. You have helped the school grow. Saying ' Good bye! ' will not be easy for me. I have grown very attached to all of you, very proud of your accomplishments, very privileged to be part of your lives . . . You will always be part of mine. May the happiness of your senior year stay with you. I think the faculty remembers you most as a happy class, bonded together by your love for each other and your love for your school. The outlook you have developed here is a very good one for life. Don ' t lose it! But always be as generous in sharing it as you have been these last four years. Finally, remember us. As your lives grow and deepen, remember that you can call on us if you need help. We will do everything we can to help you. Remember, too, that we care about your successes and triumphs. Let us know about those, too. God loves you — and so do L Fr.
