Spread Your Wings . . and Fly This was the theme of the juniors' Ring Day ceremony. It was developed by Kyle Nielsen, and was displayed on the banner. On February 15, the juniors had a special day. This was the day that was set aside so that Fr. Mike could bless their rings during the Mass. The hour-long service was attended by family, friends, and classmates of the ju- nior class. Fr, Mike explained how their rings signified their maturity and all of their won- derful memories of Reicher. Following the Mass, the juniors went to the cafeteria to enjoy a breakfast of rolls, sausages, and cake that was prepared by the Seniors. It was a day that they would never forget. Eric Cotten, Brian Ott, and Julian Castilleja proudly dis- play their newly-blessed rings. Dede Farrar smiles as Sr. Fran places the ring on her finger. Deep in thought, Michelle Wilson, Melanie Willie, Scott Vrana, and Laura Van Horne contemplate their futures as leaders of the school. While enjoying the breakfast,jesse Martinez, Tracy Du- lock, Frankie Hurtado, Melissa Gonzales, and Norma Garcia stop to smile for us. Class president, Adam LeCrone cuts the cake. 18 Once in a Lifetime aa. S sg 'NM swam E RSX

Capture the Light As a Catholic school, Reicher encouraged the student in freely accepting himself and his world from a Christian perspective. Reicher offered instruction in Catholic theology and supported religious values. The Religion Department encouraged ac- tive participation in religious masses. Throughout the year, each class was responsi- ble for a mass. This included picking out liturgy, songs and readers. Planning these masses provided the student with an opportu- nity to become familiar with the liturgy and books of the Bible. The Thanksgiving Mass WQS ing er. once again held on the gym floor, allow- the students to share food with each oth- Spirits were soaring during Christmas. Each Wednesday morning, the students met in t the he gym for the lighting of a new candle on Advent Wreath. The final mass of the year was the Graduation Mass. After being out of school, the Senior class returned to celebrate IT19. ss with the underclassmen one last time. Class retreats also gave students a chance to participate in the Christian faith. The main objective of the outing was for the students to come closer to themselves, their class- mates, and God. Freshmen and Sophomores took a day for their retreats, whilejuniors and Seniors traveled for overnight stays at Cedar- brake. The Reicher students could truly capture the light with all the religious opportunities given to them. sl: iimmaw 20 Once in a Lifetime ll
