change CElEBR m tQ WITH STYLE Jeff Jost, sophomore: Mr. Delehunt is the biggest change. He gave us more free days and spirit days. He didn ' t try to change things all at once. He did what the students wanted to do more than what he wanted to do. Laura Alsop, senior: I think the spirit at Mater Dei has greatly improved this year. The student body seemed to back everyone, even after a loss. Even though attendence was up, I thought that peo- ple could cheer more at the games and really get into it. I think part of the im- provement is due to Mr. Delehunt. He seemed to get just as involved as the student body and set a good example. Laurie Layman, junior: It seems like Ma- ter Dei provides us with more challenges than most schools. We have to work hard- er to get things and it ' s cause to cele- brate because we have parents, teachers, and friends pushing us to- wards those challenges. Jenny Olivey, senior: Traditions at Mater Dei have been around ever since I can remember — wearing uniforms, being successful in volleyball and wrestling, having distinguished halls (senior hall, junior, sophomore, and freshman halls), and many more. Everywhere you look is some kind of tradition. The red brick building stood as it had for over 30 years. The long sum- mer of 1981 had finally come to an end. The boards were washed. The desks were in neat rows. The doors now stood open, waiting to receive the 670 or so students who would attend Mater Dei this year. We arrived September 7. The scene was one which could apply to any first day of school in MD ' s history. However, we were a unique bunch and this year would not be the same. We, the student body, bounded together in a renewed spirit. In the face of great change, we strived to meet the challenges of keeping MD ' s traditions alive. It was our chance to learn together, live together, and laugh together. It was a time of celebration. By far, the biggest change was the arrival of Mr. Joe Delehunt, who assumed the duties of principal. The Kentucky native brought with him an enthusiastic attitude which soon rubbed off on the students. A group of senior girls affectionately dubbed him J.D. and formed a Joe Delehunt fan club. Senior Cathy Roe commented, He let things flow, then when there was a problem, he worked on it. I think he did a really great job. Bringing new life and spice to the Mater Dei student government was radical mayor Brock Nicholson. Brock became well known for his original speaking style, and had no trouble at all winning over the crowd at his In- auguration ceremony with his im- promtu speech. A charismatic leader, he was also well known for his RADICAL REVOLUTIONARY: Mayor of Mater Dei- ville Brock Nicholson brought fresh ideas and atti- tudes to the student government. A charismatic leader, Brock motivates the students at the candy sale kickoff assembly. (Photo by Rob Zigenfus)
