Co ' C, du ,rj ' ' - HE PREP m «)] WHEREVER THE SETS THE JOURNEY RISES .•? 1981 - 1982 VOLUME THIRTY- Wherever The Sun Sets, The Journey Rises The sunset, a small requiem of our life ' s experience, sets off the tone of a new beginning in our journey. Each day brings with it the anticipation of a new journey in the light of a new sunset. With the sun ' s mellowing rays at dusk, the seminarian takes up the challenge to follow Jesus Christ. Success is not always the seminarian ' s discovery, but hoping and believing slowly turns dreams into realities. Prayers and the sacraments are important maps along our journey of life and help us to plan and reach our destiny without getting lost. We seminarians know the plans we have set for ourselves and apply the extra effort to fulfill these plans. In a sunset of diversity, seminarians learn that the sun ' s setting was only the beginning of a new journey rising. 11 r FEATURES ADMINISTRATION FACaiTY, AND STAFF Keys to seminary success 8 SENIORS Paving tlie way 24 PROGRAMS One for tlie road 40 STUDENTS In tune with tlie 80 ' s 54 SEMINARY PROFILES Beliind tlie scenes 88 ACTIVITIES The pleasure principle 104 Seminarians discover many paths leading to continuous experiences in their academic, athletic, and spiritual life. The seminary establishes a sturdy foundation upon which stands humility and wisdom. With this firm foundation the seminarian ' s journey takes its course down the correct path. The seminary helps each person to discover his goal or destination. ADMINISTRATION FACULTY AND STAFF Our journey through life is promoted through the people who assist us through our growing process. The administration, faculty, and staff together make up this team that provides the path for our journey. The priests who administrate constantly provide for our welfare and are looked upon not only as priests, but as fathers by our studentbody. The faculty consists o f a large number of advocates for our journey. Always teaching us, not only in class, but outside of class by their actions. The staff works diligently to feed us, keep up our grounds, buildings, perform the office work, and all the small jobs that keep our school running. This team works together to help us through our journey through the seminary. Without their guidance, understanding, and hard work we would not have the outstanding school that we have. Lunch is one of the few times that the faculty comes to- gether. Here they receive their chance to talk casually about the school progress. The small senior Latin class enjoys their numbers and their teacher, Sr. Pauline Therese. Proctoring Study Hall pro- vides a good time for Fr. Burnham to correct home- work. The office ladies learn to deal wi th frustations, as Mrs. Dunlap so vividly demon- strates. Mr. Crowley provides tennis instruction as part of his freshman P. E. program. Sr. Patrice follows along while the sophomore class reads from their English text. X. ■i I H ?, K v ■ 1 K I- .-.

Our Lord once said, I am the Light of the world. No follower of mine shall ever walk in darkness ; no he shall possess the light of life. These words are the Motto of the Class of 1982. Their journey through the seminary was an experience of the Light of Christ, that same light that can be shared with others. May the Light of Christ guide you like the rays of the sun on your journey through life. Sincerely in Christ, ' ( - . I . Rev. Msgr. Joseph J . Cokus Rector , v)!

The journey continues for each Senior even after graduation. Before planning our own futures we, as Seniors, find it necessary to pave the way for our brother students by supporting decisions concerning the welfare of the seminary itself. Many responsibilities are placed into the hands of Seniors - responsibilities that are as important to the Seniors as they are to the Seminary. As leaders, we Seniors communicate the meaning of sharing in the work of Jesus Christ. Yes, Senior year can prove to be an exciting year, but Seniors can be involved with countless types of work. Extracurricular activities keep the Seniors busy - everything from teaching C.C.D. to helping youth detained in juvenile camps. These are the many challenges faced by Seniors, but also many rewards. As our year draws to a close, we Seniors give a service of gratitude to the seminary, thanking the faculty for providing us with the necessary development to continue our journeys. Class Of 82 It was once stated that: friendship, like mustard seeds, starts very small but grows very tall. This statement is very applicable to the friendship established by the Senior class. Through countless days of seminary life we Seniors accumulated precious memories given to us by special friends. By friendship we promote our leadership in the seminary family and are looked up to for many decisions regarding the welfare of the school. Because this is our final year, we, as Seniors encounter many last minute challenges. This is the year we make decisions for life after high school. Our future journeys are going to be full of opportunities following graduation. The road may occasionally be tough but we have confidence. By continuing to stay close to Christ we will certainly find our way. 26 This page sponsored by Sacred Heart Parish, Covina Manuel Pulido and Marco Medina listen attentively to a not so attentive lecture.

This highway on which the seminarian travels contains three lanes which are interchangeable but each is uniquely important as the other. These three lanes are the three special programs that the seminary provides: a spiritual program, an academic program, and an athletic program. The spiritual program formulates a closeness of theological communications between God and the seminarian. The academic program is a college preparatory program here at the seminary. An intellectual background in the seminary must be developed so that the seminarian may acquire full knowledge of his world. The athletic program provides an opportunity for the seminarian to gain physical fitness and vitality. Afterall, a wise man must be able to pray, think, and live a healthy life in order to adapt in today ' s environment. 1. Calisthenics are a vital part of the seminary ' s sport program. 2. During the evening, Manuel Pu- lido, Mark Smith, and Mike Taylor take part in spiritual reading. SPIRITUAL PROGRAM A successful seminary must have a rewarding spiritual program, one that promotes brotherhood and Christian living. When followed closely it brings on spiritual maturity at a crucial time in our lives, and creates habits that will be carried on into the adult life. 1. 2. 3. 4. During a Day of Recollection, Alex Paner and Ron Garcia wait their turn for confession with Fr. Przygoda. The student body says a final prayer before going to breakfast. A tradition stressed this year is visiting the chapel after meals. Here Vince Ayala, Bill Borneman, and Rene Olivas say a brief prayer. Marian devotion plays a major part in the spiritu- ality of the seminary. We honor the faith of Our Lady of the Angels by praying the Rosary and Angelas every day. 36 This page sponsored by St. Charles Church, Hollywood. MASS 1. Sr. Leo Francis assists Fr.

McKeon, Simi Valley. 37 SPIRITUAL EXERCISES The spiritual exercises constitute a unique program in the seminary. Just as an eager student desiring to learn more would look for the most helpful and fruitful curriculum, so too a seminarian desiring to grow in faith would utilize helpful and fruitful spiritual practices. These exercises are the paths in the map of the spiritual program and are fundamental in the development of a holy person. The exercises include most of the traditional forms of worship: the Mass, the Rosary, Benediction, Morning and Evening prayers, and spiritual reading. The students ' insights into the spiritual life are also displayed in their own personal exercises, like outside Rosary, private prayers, and meditations on the Way of the Cross. 1. Besides having Rosary three times a week, some students take consolation in saying one on their own. Here, Sergio Ramos contemplates the Sorrowful Mysteries. 2. Along with spiritual guidance from talks and exercises, the students are given a chance to guide themselves by reading spiritual books to further their zeal. 3. Benediction is a highlight of our spiritual program. It gives the seminarians a special way to adore their Creator and give Him thanks for giving us his body and blood in the Eucharist. 38 This page sponsored by Rev. Msgr. John W. Siebert. 1. Meditation doesn ' t always come easily. Rico Emmace receives help by reading his book of meditations in the quiet of the day. 2. Since the Way of the Cross is not performed as a student body until Lent, many students, like Robert Knight find time to meditate on the passion of Jesus. 3. How logical to start and end the day with a few minutes with God. Morn- ing prayers is time set out to remem- ber God ' s graces and presence throughout the day. Then, at Night prayers, the student body tries to settle their minds by getting rid of worries and examining their con- sciences in order to better them- selves for the next day. 4. A practice that has really caught on is the Walk Around Rosary. Here senior Jim Henry leads his little brothers Robert Knight, Troy Cook, and Jim Roehrich in the Joyful My- steries. 5.

Whether it is a student from Orange County or from Ventura County, we each are called by God to a community gathered together under one roof answering a call to its priesthood. Although we each come from a different journey of life we walk down the same path of brotherhood sharing the same common beliefs. Close relationships are established within the seminary wall, especially with the one close friend seminarians turn to in times of need, Jesus Christ. Prayer, studies, and work build within each seminarian a sense of values upon which his foundation is established. In the seminary students live together in a close community developing their own sense of responsibility helped along by the interest and concern of other students. 1. Students walking to the refec- tory after mass to eat lunch. 2. Sr. Leo Francis helps Robert Stoutenburgh and Dave Zak with their experiment in Chem- istry Class. JUNIORS A Junior ' s job is basically to supply the backbone for the school. The head of the student body, the Seniors, supply the leadership, while the Juniors back them up by humility and example for the rest of the student body. To insure a strong backbone, it must be properly cared for. This is done here at the seminary by spiritual exercises and careful stress in studies. Sure, the Seniors have the leadership, but the Juniors are to be the perfect body members, strong and capable. 56 1. Ban Nguyen rams one over the net in his never ending effort to better himself. 2.

He makes over a hundred dollars a night but says he does it mostly because he likes to see people have a good time. Vince Ayala has a talent for painting glass. In a year ' s time he has made ten of them, some being priced from forty to seventy-five dollars. People consider his work as done by a professional. Gerard Stripling is the school ' s BMX champ. He started in 1978 but broke loose in the summer of 1980 when he consistently won first and second places, all firsts in August. That November he went to the Nationals and won fifth place in the fifteen year old expert class, beating out fifty-one other contestants nationwide. Greg Bickel started Scouts in second grade and has risen six ranks to his present Life Boy Scout. He needs only two more merit badges for Eagle Scout and expects it in six months to a year.

Through the many responsibilities given to a seminarian he learns to accept the challenges of holding a position. Learning, making mistakes, and assuming jobs are part of the seminarian ' s journey towards leadership, a unique position which demands these experiences. Whether it is freshman year or senior year the seminarian encounters many opportunities in leadership at home, in his parish, and at the seminary. Throughout the course of the day, seminarians venture through the same routines, but experience different occurences such as learning new things, obtaining different ideas, and consuming new frontiers. We are not lost pioneers for we employ God as a necessary guide for accepting each day as it The Mass provides a key part in the journey through the semi- nary. One of the responsibilities for Dan Campbell and Rafael Sala- zar is work order on Wednesday. STGDENT COUNCIL Preparing for the upcoming evaluation of our school, the Student Council has worked on a new philosophy for the school, placing the emphasis on the family Spirit.

Many activities are scheduled into the program for the comfort and convenience of the seminarians. For example, a seminarian may relax in the refreshing waters of our swimming pool or engage himself in a game of pool in the recreation room. Whatever the activity, the seminarian surrounds himself in a time of socializing with his brother seminarians. Sometimes special activities are coordinated by the entire student body for the enjoyment of our community. Gaudeamus, a festive occasion just before Halloween, provides an opportunity for the seminarians to display their talents before the entire student body. Mardi Gras, provides another type of entertainment like Gaudeamus. At Christmas a special presentation is assembled for the enjoyment of parents and friends. The Senior play is performed at the closing of the school year. Field trips parties, movies, etc. are other activities that, for us, are both recreational and educational. 3. A Maryknoll Fathers, Fr. Tom Golden, Fr. Tom Northorp, and Fr. Ray Hill, M.M., give a Day of Recollection to the Seminarians. Mrs. Santa, John Provenza, gives out Christmas gifts to the faculty.

The students return with information that can never be found in textbooks. 1. Nick Calvano leaves the bus after a long trip to Edwards Air Force Base as Mr. Bustamante makes sure no one is left behind. 2.

During the day we get to be by ourselves and to just talk to God. It is also a time to build our relationship with God and our brothers here in the seminary. Some of the themes of the days of recollection have been: Maryknollers: their missions, On honoring our Lady as Mother, and how to pray. Concluding every day of recol- lection is the Mass. During the retreat Mike Estrada finds time to sit and listen to what has to say to him. Father Burnham, the spiritual director of the seminary, plans and organizes all of the days of recollection. This page sponsored by Rev. Vincent Merfield ANNUAL RETREAT After all of the studying and tests of the semester exams are over we are given a full three days of Spiritual Growth.

TEACHER TRAINING The Seniors start their teacher training for C.C.D. the beginning of Junior year. They develop their skills futher by attending the C.C.D. Congress and then another weekend at the beginning of Senior year. For the final stage they teach in the classrooms once a week. Every Wednesday they travel to St. Didacus Parish in Sylmar to instruct first through sixth graders in knowing and loving Christ. Besides becoming certified teachers, the Seniors put their evangelical spirit in action in this rewarding apostolic ministry. ;fe . ig Marco Medina listens to one of his students ' question, as they never run out of them. Today ' s topic is respect with Manuel Pulido shedding light on the subject. Fr. Canedo shows sign language is easy but the Juniors have oth- er ideas.

Canedo offers classes during the second semester for interested Juniors. This page sponsored by Faculty and Students of St. John ' s Col- lege. DETENTION CAMP During the second semester the Seniors frequently visit the juvenile detention center in Sylmar. They spend time with them and offer them hope for the future. Sometimes they have a Mass with the youths, but most of the time they just talk and have group discussions with a bit of catechism. The Seniors hope that by their presence they will help a fellow human being in need. CONVALESCENT HOME The sophomore ' s special activity as a class is visiting the nearby convalescent home. The elderly receive a respite from all too common loneliness by the willing sophomores who share memories and pleasant talk with the patients.

This yearbook should be looked upon as a completion of events and a treasure chest of memories. Throughout the course of the 1981-1982 school year assorted memories have lingered in the hearts of all the seminarians. Our job is to gather these memories and sort them into one collection of mementos. We hope you cherish this wonderful book and look through it both now and in the years to come. This book could never have been completed without a group of talented geniuses known to us as the Prep staff. Without their effort and support there would be a book with blank sheets of paper. And our advisor, Mr. Bustamante? Well he said something about mentioning his name in this letter so that ' s all we decided to do. Just kidding! Anyway, it was an outstanding school year, one that should never be forgotten. We hope this book preserves memories established throughout this year. Without your support this year would not have been the great year it has proved to be. Thank you all and may God bless you. limwItMo Sincerely the Co-Editors, ( ! 122 p SPECIAL THANKS To the ladies in the office, Mrs. Apolito, Mrs. Dunlap, and Mrs. Murry who constantly aided us when we most needed it.

Young Carmen Zavala Gennarino D ' Amato Mov. 15, 1963 - Nov. 22, 1981 Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, joy. Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; To be understood as to understand; To be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
