Although oftentimes we are whimsical, we, as students, also spend hours seriously contemplating ourselves in relationship to those around us, our work and our future. Skill and concentration needed in chess strategy involves onlookers as well as pity aus: As ben tae of the past, the reshmen religion students celebrate a Sedder Supper to commemorate Israel’s deliverance from Egypt. Learning involves many steps. Listening carefully, Anne Marie absorbs new calculus information from her teacher and classmates. Reading in the quiet library is Brian’s thoughtful method of analyzing personality theories in Psychology. Quickly writing notes sparks a question in Sheila to comprehend why Macbeth wants to kill the king. After learning the skill of typing, Karen diligently concentrates on the words, not the keys! All students question themselves about their near and no-so-near futures. Like Lorraine and Richard, they examine what they have accomplished and what still needs to be done before the day ends. As Seniors, Timmy, Danny and Kathy ponder what adventures lie ahead of them for next year. As a young adult, Donna enjoys the present moment and dreams of new roles in her future.

In the spotlight in October, Mr. Yearbook dashingly destroyed the wicked witch with the help of Jolly Green Julie and all the gang. Another active group, the National Honor Society, organized the Thanksgiving Food Drive which was highlighted by a liturgy celebrated by Father Bob. Flowers, applause, a crown and music surrounded Joan and Mike in a spectacular, dreamy, December moment. The Freshmen in Spanish class anticipated the holidays with a pinata that they didn’t have the heart to break. Also in the spirit of Christmas, Mr. Smith and his English class, S. Elenor’s Glee Club, and some elementary students used music, art and candlelight to dramatize the message of the First Christmas. Our Senior Class and Student Council President, Dennis Versiackas, whether in front of the school at the podium, or working quietly behind the scenes with other Student Council members, commanded the respect of faculty and students year round. Two very special spotlighters, S. Anna Vincent and Fr. Fichtner, found time in their busy schedules to discuss the lighter side of running a school.
