Frank Leahy came to O ' Dea as a freshman in 1967, and he quickly made new friends. Frank prospered from his great number of frie nds and accordingly, the year passed quickly. But now, Francis Patrick Leahy exists continually in the minds and hearts of those who were lucky enough to know him, and in this manner, Frank will always be close at hand. We have loved them during life let us not Still tangible in the hearts of the seniors is the memory of two classmates who left us last Christ¬ mas in a tragic accident. Pete Abeyta possesed most of the attri¬ butes of a young O ' Dea man. His character¬ istic smile portrayed his nonchalant nature and peace of mind. Friendship with Pete was very easy because of his generous dispo¬ sition. In coming to O ' Dea, he contributed much to the lives of all those who met him. Don Schuller, always full of mirth arid joy, kept spirits high wherever he went. A hard worker and a friend to most everybody, Don was always on the go whether in school or at home. On the way home from church, Don met death when the car he was riding in crashed into a telephone pole. forget them in death Jr ' 4 1 ' J b sep jij Mf -4 |B IL 1 Christianity. . .an entity, a con¬ cept, a way of life. It is of knowledge, of responsibility and of purpose. Christianity is of thought; religious thought, moral thought, existential thought. It of creative thought, scientific thought, social thought, practical thought. Of thought for others and thoughtfulness for others. Christianity is of action: of pray¬ ing, striving, achieving. It is of ef¬ fort-combined effort. It is of work¬ ing and playing; living and dying. It is of helping those who need help, disciplining those who need dis¬ ciplined, complimenting those who deserve to be complimented. Christianity is of knowledge: knowledge of oneself, knowledge of the world, know¬ ledge of God. It is of knowledge of society, knowledge of good versus evil, knowledge of necessity versus luxury. It is of scientific knowledge, ecclesiastical knowledge, know¬ ledge of humanity. Christianity is of responsibility: knowing what to do, and when to do, and how to do. It is of accepting a task, working to the best of one ' s ability, carrying your share of the burden. It is of honor, and loyalty, and de¬ votion; of willingness and gratitude and spirit. Christianity is of purpose: of striving to¬ ward a goal—a social goal or an eschato¬ logical goal. Of working toward unity or peace or freedom or equality. Of searching for love, friendship, heaven—or God. Christianity affects our thinking, our actions, our learning process, our morals, our life ' s philosophy. We observe Christi¬ anity in ourselves and in those around us. Seeing Christianity epitomized: seeing the people, the thought, the action—seeing the knowledge, the responsibility, and the pur¬ pose. . .is seeing the faculty and students of O ' Dea. % 1 FACULTY Patience — with green freshmen; with inconsistent sophomores; with ambitious juniors; with impatient seniors .... Donating time and energy to the expansion of our knowledge from their ' s .... Giving their spare time to the school activities. Christianity — the faculty lives it: day to day; hour to hour; minute to minute. 12 TELEPHGNE . ifmoSSO, ■ ’ ' ' Sff M This year Mrs. Robert Kirschner is celebrating her 10th anni¬ versary as the school treasurer, secretary and registrar.

MOTHER ' S CLUB L Self-sacrifice and determined effort—two attri¬ butes were responsible for the many successes of ■ this year ' s Mother ' s Club. Or perhaps it was the able and competent leadership of Mrs. Hucik, presi- j! dent, and the aid of Br. Brouillette, moderator. Their labors at such events as luncheons for the various classes raised a great deal of money for the school. This money was put to work to aid the de- jl bate club, the Crosier and Olympian, the poster club, ] and the winners of freshman scholarships. Not to be forgotten are the loyal mothers, led by ! Mrs. Marchetti, who came to O ' Dea every Thursday to sell hamburgers to ravenous students. The profits I; from these weekly ventures provide a great part of the Mother ' s Club funds.

FATHERS CLUB Under the leadership of Mr. Allan Swegle, this year ' s father club has contributed much to the Aca¬ demic and Athletic successes of the school. The Italian Dinner and two bingo ' s were the three major money-making endeavors. Moderated by Br. Frigo, the Father ' s Club purchased new athletic lockers, a new engine for the school bus, and built eight new podiums to replace the old and worn teacher ' s desks. Financing the Athletic coaching staff, purchasing a language testing center, and providing overhead projectors were also among the contributions which they added. Other officers which helped make the Father ' s Club a success are: Mr. Phil Fuda — Vice-President, Mr. Dennis Haley — Secretary, Mr. Joseph Barecca — Treasurer.

' CORONATION BALL As O ' Dea ' s foremost social event of the year com¬ menced, 110 men and their dates filled the beautiful Olympic Bowl at the Olympic Hotel for the eighteen¬ th annual Coronation Ball. While Bob Elwood and his quartet impressed everyone with their renditions of many popular songs, the five princesses nervously awaited the announcement that would make one of them Queen of the Irish . As the high point of the evening drew near, five worthy seniors escorted our cheerleaders to the stage. Tension mounted as emcee Doug Berger approached the microphone and every¬ one pressed forward to catch a glimpse of the new queen, ...and the 1968-69 Queen of the Irish is — Missy Mize. Missy was then crowned by last year ' s queen, Mary Jean Henderson, after which she danced the Queen ' s Waltz with SBP Mike DeFranco. Later in the evening, Mr. Isaacson was called upon to present awards to the outstanding football players of this year ' s team. Those honored with awards were: George janecke. Most Inspirational Player; Tom Sonn, Team Captain; Marc Englin, Best Lineman; Mike Gauthier, Best Back; and Brian Haley, Most Improved Player. As the midnight hour approached, everyone de¬ parted, leaving the night behind them but holding still the memories of the wonderful time that was had by all.

The stage for the event was set at the luxurious Nile Country Club. Couples danced into the late hours accompanied by the fine music of Shultz-Murphy Unlimited. After a mad rush to change clothes the couples were again gathered for a pleasent and splendid cruise of the Puget Sound. Thanks must be given to the Prom com¬ mittee, assisted by Br. Reilly, and headed by Doug Berger and Cary Monuszko, which made it all pos¬ sible. It was truly a grand finale for the graduating class of ' 69.

JUNIOR PROM A snow storm this week before and a basketball game the same night could not intimidate the juniors and on February 1 the Class of 70 held its Junior Prom Rainy Day, Dream Away. From nine until twelve the juniors danced the night away in the beautiful banquet room of the Norselander Restaurant. The Shultz Murphy Ltd. had the job of providing the music and, throughout the night they never ceased to impress everyone there.

Drama Club President John Eergeford talks to a Holy Namer O ' Dea Welcomes Return of Drama Their first production, called ' ' While the Chimes Rang, was directed by John Bergford and starred Dean Shaw and Camille Bayttbiere of Holy Names Academy. Presented at the Mother ' s Club Christmas Party, this play added greatly to the mood produced by the Glee Club. Their second project for the year was called Every¬ man Today. Again produced by John Bergford, the play featured Paul Scanlan as Death, Dean Shaw as the Devil, Tom Geraghty as Everyman, and Sheila Ward as the Conscience. The plot involved the trial of a man called by Death. DRAMA CLUB Caught up in a spirit of sophistication and culture that saw the creation of the Glee Club, O ' Dea stu¬ dents got together this year to reform the Drama Club. Under the guidance of John Bergford and Tom Levschen, President and Vice-President, respectively, the club put on two productions with the aid of their moderator, Br. Tompkins. The Drama Club members rehearse with some Holy Name girls DEBATE In the time of ancient Greece the art of argumentation and debating was considered a competitive sport. Today, however, due to the lack of understand¬ ing and knowledge of debating, it has lost a considerable amount of prestige. Debate still remains though, a highly competitive interscholastic activity. Despite the lack of numbers, the O ' Dea Debate squad, under the leader¬ ship of Br. Tomkins, has provided the Metro schools of Seattle with a chal¬ lenge, to beat O ' Dea High School ' s Debate team. The Varsity team of Dave Kochar- hook and Mike Forte triumphed with an undefeated season in Metro Com¬ petition and distinguished themselves in state-wide tournament competition. Due to their outstanding achieve¬ ments, they have won themselves a birth in the state tournament which was the culmination of their debate season.

The Greater Seattle area must con¬ tinue to be wary of O ' Dea in the future. The style of debating used by the ancient Greeks will never return. But with interested and dedicated youths as we have here, competitive debating will continue, and O ' Dea will see much new hardware in her trophy case.

Coached by Sister Rita Louise, our singing troupe faced a limited schedule this season. In their first outing, the club led the school in a practice for the folk mass. Heartened by the success of their season opener, the club stormed to victory at the Mother ' s Club Christmas Party. The singing of our boys imparted a nostalgic tear and a joyful smile on all who attended. Picking up momentum, the GLEE CLUB overwhelmed all doubters of their talent at the special Christmas Assembly.

CHESS CLUB Although in their first year of competition, the O ' Dea Chess Club made up mostly by underclassmen has faired well in the Seattle Metropolitan League. Coached by Mr. Howie Chinn, the Irish have done well in the tournaments sponsored by the Seattle Chess Club. Mr. Chinn, who is now a member and student at S.U., coached Everett High School to a third place in the State Tourney last year. With over twenty active members, O ' Dea is represented in competition by Dan Ger- aghty Tst, David Anderson 2nd, Kevin Aratani 3rd, Ezio Manzio 4th, Tim Einch 5th, and Paul Simpson 6th. Others in the top ten are Joe jaegar, Tom Geraghty, Tom Whaley, and Ned Steck. Although havins a 2-1 record, Br.

Moderator Brother Murray, who is the master of approximately 12 instruments, succeeded this year in constructing a truly vi¬ brant pep Band. Chuck Brittenham, president of the Band, diligently kept its members in check, making sure they were always in tune. For the first time the Band was instructed in the art of reading music, which definitely added to the betterment of their songs. This years Band played an essential part both in instilling school spirit at the rallies and en¬ couraging support at the games. I The band takes its usual 12 minute union break. Student Council Executives From L. to R. Secretary Jim DeFranco, Vice- President—Doug Berger, President Mike DeFranco, Treasurer—Jeff Jones. A Goal Realized STUDENT COUNCIL When President Mike DeFranco took office this year the main theme of his work was involvement through the O ' Dea Spirit. This was graphically shown in the success¬ ful activity week which was instituted to get everyone in the student body active in some school activity. Taking up this chal¬ lenge the Student Council became a very serious experiment in student govern¬ ment through a policy of active responsi¬ bility and power to carry out its decisions. This responsibility was seen in an attempt of chartering rooter ' s buses for away games. Also two buses were chartered for the football team with help of Rich Yazz- ilino. The complete handling of the candy sale by the council made it a sale topping the quota for the first time in a number of years. The council also played a part in the Christmas Basket campaign and the pre-sale tickets for the Father ' s Club Bingo. Through the efforts of the Council a Folk mass was instituted. The Council also re¬ wrote the school regulations with regards to dress and appearance and also made an extensive study of the school consti¬ tution. All of their products resulted in a serious, productive, spirit-filled year. Mike and Jim DeFranco discuss the meeting ' s agenda. SODALITY This year, the usual Day of Recol¬ lection was dropped in favor of a retreat for the Juniors and the Seniors. Brother Parent believed that it would be more ac- | ceptable and useful to the students. On these nights Father Hayatsu darkened the gym, which was likened to a prison camp, : and the students attempted to find their I souls .

Crosier The official school paper, The O ' Dea Crosier, typified by its imaginative articles and subtle witticisms, was published under editor-in-chief Gary Monuszko. Having improved it over last year ' s edition, the many innova¬ tions have contributed toward making it a more cohes¬ ive paper. News editor Harry McCoy kept close tabs on all the latest happenings. Up-to-date scores, wins and losses were diligently recorded on the sport page. The feature columns such as Muck Meyer and Cuts Bandages , written by Bill King and John Lukjanowicz, displayed original humor, burlesque antics, and bizarre happenings. The individualityx)f the paper was added to by the illustrations and cartoons of the head artist, Phil Pankow. Typing the final copies for the printer, assistant editor Bob Rantucci works sedulously to reach a deadline. Consulting his expert staff, Gary Monuszko, tediously arranges the paste-up in time for the publication date. Innovation: New Theme of the Crosier Bits and Pieces Determined to make the nevys more mean¬ ingful, a supplementary vyeekly newspaper Bits Pieces was instituted by Mike De- Franco and Phil Pankow. Promotion of ac¬ tivities was the main theme behind the pub¬ lication, but it soon stemmed to reporting school events as they occurred. Later on in the year after being viciously slandered by the Crosier, the staff of Bits Pieces declared full scale war and fought to rectify the in¬ justice and the defamation of character that was brought on them. Of course, this was all in fun and the main purpose was to stimulate interest in the school. 45 Chief editor of Bits Pieces, Phil Pankow, runs off a War issue. _ ' 68-69 Features Enlarged Olympian YEARBOOK Since their efforts are the most enduring of all school activities, the members of the yearbook staff are char¬ ged with the task of producing an Olympian that re¬ flects the spirit of the school and gives an accurate ac¬ count of the many diverse activities. The editors of the ' 68- ' 69 Olympian, Tom Monohan and Phil Pankow, have done a great deal of work to insure the success of the yearbook, hoping to produce one of the best in re¬ cent years at O ' Dea. Evidence of many hours of hard work can be found in the pages of this year ' s Olympian. The combined efforts of the writers, photographers, and layout men has resulted in a yearbook that is a full eight pages larger than last year ' s. 46 SPORTS Winning isn ' t everything. . .

Varsity Football O ' Dea ' s Irish emerged from the ' 68 season vyith a highly respectable 5-4 record, considering the quality of their opponents. In their season opener, O ' Dea fell to the East Bremerton Knights, one of the state ' s top class AA teams, 14-0. Distraught at their opening loss, the Irish came back to beat Kentridge 13-0. Following this win, O ' Dea ' s gridders lost successive games to the state-ranked teams from Woodland and Eastmont, after holding early leads in both games. Vancouver College beat the slumping Irish the following week, 19-0. After some changes in the backfield, O ' Dea romped to a lop¬ sided victory over St. Martin ' s Rangers, and then, in their best game of the season, surprised a strong Carrol team on their own field, winning by the score of 26-7. Building up momentum, inexperienced Kennedy was O ' ¬ Dea ' s next victim, falling before the Irish by the score of 13-0. In the final game of the season, O ' Dea faced a much larger Evergreen team. After Rush McKelvey scor¬ ed with the opening kickoff, the Irish found themselves trailing with only four minutes to go. Taking a hand- off up the middle, Eric Chappell broke to the outside and raced 50 yards to the goal line to clinch a tie. With the extra point pass complete to John Quintinskie, O ' ¬ Dea had all the po ints they needed to win, 14-13.

Outmanned in every game, the sophomores failed to beat strong teams from Kennedy and Blanchet. The Junior Varsity, how¬ ever, facing Blanchet in their first game, won going away. Against traditional rival Prep, though, O ' Dea ' s defense crumbled after the untimely loss of some key personnel.

CROSSCOUNTRY Distance running is one of the most grueling facets of competitive athletics known to man. This years Cross Country team, boasting an impressive winning season, has represented O ' Dea well independently and in state competition. Five seniors, three juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman participated wholeheartedly in manufacturing a successful season. Senior Mike Dalton built up throughout the season to a time of 12:15 for 2.4 miles. Other Irish harriers include: Bill King, Mike DeFranco, Mike Pompeo, Leo Dunne, Mike Ferluga, Steve Leahy, Phil Riley, joe Grove, and Dave King. Plagued by a small turn¬ out, Coach Frank Lafazia and his small but spirited team can take pride in a superb effort and a most satisfying season.

CHEERLEADERS Constantly typifying the spirit of the Irish, the Cheerleaders exuberance had a contagious effect on the O ' Dea cheering section. Together with the Yel- leaders and the Pep Band, the Cheerleaders aroused the emotions of the Irish rooters to such high levels that often opposing teams expressed more fear of the spectators than of the Irish team they were playing. During halftime the Cheerleaders multiple talents were disp layed to the simple melodic tunes of the O Dea band. Besides showing leadership in their respective schools, the Cheerleaders also undertook the duties of the color guard for the flag. After de¬ voting many hours to hard practice and their other duties, the Cheerleaders gave us something we could be proud of. Making for an effective team, the Yelleaders con¬ tributed to the spirit by their yells and acrobatics. Throughout the entire year Don Berger and Rich Yazzolino provided the seasonal fans with their spark of enthusiasm. Tom McKeon, noted for catching coins and eggs, relinquished his duties to Pat Fox because of his committment to basketball while Dave Kocharhook let Cary Monuszko have his megaphone to concentrate on forensics. Through many disap¬ pointments and letdowns the spirit team ' s fanatical loyalty never ceased. Lane Hoss distracts the opposing team. Cheerleaders Lane Hoss, Missy Mize, Mary Benckert, Denis Bremer and Kathy Morken en¬ tertain the crowd during halftime at the Jefferson game. During a crucial timeout, Mr. Naish discusses strategy to the Varsity. VARSITY BASKETBALL Very often the record of a team does not express the hard work and determination put forth through¬ out the season. Such was the case of the ' 68- ' 69 O ' Dea basketball team. Handicapped by a lack of height, the Irish made up for it with hustle and effective shooting. Facing a schedule which included four of the best teams in the state, Aberdeen, Seattle Prep, Central Kitsap, and Auburn, any team might have been intimidated from the beginning—any team but the Irish. For through¬ out the season, inspired by Coach Naish, the O ' Dea hoopsters entered each game with a renewed spirit and a will to win. Perhaps the story of this year ' s season can be found in the number of games at home and the num¬ ber of games away. For out of eight attempts at home, the Irish posted a respectable 4-4 record. However, the O ' Dea repeatedly did one thing this year which repeatedly proved disastrous. They went on the road and, out of twelve games, could only account for one victory away from home. There were, however, many bright spots in the ' 68- ' 69 season which included two victories over St. Martin ' s, a win over a strong team from Vancouver College, and a vengeful defeat over Shelton. Al¬ though these victories brought joy to all O ' Dea fol¬ lowers, the most encouraging and satisfying event of the season came with a victory over City Catholic rival Blanchet. In this game, behind the shooting of Tom McKeon with 15 points and Tom Sonn with 12 points, the Irish proved their ability as a team and emerged with a very deserved45 to 43 win. With such dedicated players as high point man Tom McKeon, high-scoring guards Mike Gauthier and Tom Sonn, center Rush McKelvey, and forwards Marty Welch, Dan Chandler, and A.J. Callan, as well as all the players on the team, O ' Dea once again pro¬ duced a team with a will and a spirit that we can all be proud of.

BASKETBALL This year ' s Junior Varsity Basketball season had a very disappointing start but as the season vyent along the general improvement of the team re¬ sulted in a winning record. Coached by Mike Jones, O ' Dea ' s Junior Varsity had a season highlighted by two wins over Kennedy and a win over Prep. Scoring on the team was evenly distributed between guards Jeff Jones and George DePalmo, and forwards Rich Haaland and Larry Nissen. Larry Nissen led all of the Irish with a 10.8 points per game average. Jeff Jones was close behind with a 10.5 average while soph, star Rich Haaland hit at a 9.7 clip. On the line or O ' Dea, Jeff Jones scores. Accuracy like this overcame a mediocre Ken nedy team. $ ' «. ? r  i f I T « ■ ' 4 . I ’ ' « Tt ■ ■ ‘ f i f ■ ■ ■ 5 y TM!

Until the Issaquah Invitational, the track team never met any team that proved superior. Coming on strong in the Issaquah Invitational the Irish proved their ability to win under pressure. In the Lake Washington relays the Irish lost their first meet in two years coming in a very strong fourth. Culminating one of their most successful seasons O ' Dea burned past the Western Conference champions Seattle Prep and a strong team from Blanchet. Under the coaching of Br. O ' Keefe, Br. Reilly, Mr. O ' Brien, and Mr. Lafazia, O ' Dea qualified 16 men for the District 10 semi¬ finals with two going on to state. Outstanding records include Marty Welch ' s 6 ' 4 high jump.

GOLF Although the fall season of golf was dismal for O ' DEA, the spring season promised to bring better fortune luck. Led by returning letterman, sopho¬ more Rich Haaland the team has gained some much needed experience. Dave Pellegrini, and Rich Ito have shown vast improvement, that should help the team in the spring. While losing four of the five top men last year because of graduation, the team does not lack any of the desire and ambition it so desper¬ ately needs. With the able leadership of Br. Murray, as moderator, the team expects to have a winning season in the spring, or at least improve upon their 1-3-1 record which they had compiled for the fall. Putting skillfully, Richard Ito attempts a birdie, while Rich Haa¬ land looks on. Tom McKeon poses for the camera. TENNIS Despite the loss of several outstanding seniors, this year ' s tennis team should easily equal last year ' s outstanding 10-3 record. Their coach, Br. Frigo, is new to O ' Dea this year, but he is not new to tennis. Re¬ turning are four seniors; Tom McKeon, who had an 11-2 record last year, Dave Welch, winner of 8 matches last year while losing only 3, Don Berger, who had an 8-2 record last year, and Greg Panlener. Manuel Camilon is the only returning junior. Also returning is sophomore Frank Lord, who held a 4-1 record last year, backed by Gary Melonson, brother of Wayne Melonson.

Abundance of Juniors Sparks Hopes VARSITY BASEBALL The 1967-68 Baseball season could be termed as a building year. With only three seniors out for the team, a group of able juniors and a couple of sopho¬ mores had to carry the burden. Recognizing poten¬ tial, Coach Don Isaacson fielded a young team which improved with every game they played. Although their record is not too impressive, 4-8-2, the season was highlighted by a 6-5 victory over Prep. The ' 68- ' 69 Irish will feel only a slight loss, losing only three seniors, and will boast eight seasoned re¬ turning lettermen. With the pitching of Marc Englin, Greg Van Caver, and Tom Sonn, the fielding of Mike Gauthier, John Quintinski, Mike Foley, Jeff Jones, and Bill Erwert, and the consistently sound hitting of the team in general, this year ' s O ' Dea baseball team is anticipating a much more successful season than they had last year. Giving some pointers to the team, Mickey Mantle displays his best. ! Gaining experience. ].V. BASEBALL Hard work and devotion to the game were the trademarks or last year ' s season. The J.V ' s sported a 2-4-1 record in the ' 68 season. Coach Brother Gallagher had a solid nucleus of players in Larry ' Nissen, Jim Schmidt, Dave Tullis and Jim Hanley, but since it was a build¬ ing year the wins were few.
