I learned so much about leadership and how to raise spirit in other people because the activities really worked. Our spirit leaders showed energy and enthu- siasm. which brought out the spirit in eve- ryone else. Kristen Klein '98 My memories of our trip to St. Louis will remain with me forever, because it was the first time l'd ever gone to a Lasallian Youth Con- ference. The experiences l had affected me greatly. Meeting people from different states. mak- ing new friends. and learning about how we can all work together as a community was a lot of fun, Above: Students at the Spirit Camp clap their hands while learning chants.

Taking The Lead Over the summer, student leaders attended retreats and workshops to prepare them for leadership roles at school. They refined their leader- ship skills while forming new friendships. Mr. Sullivan took eleven students to St. Louis, Missouri, for a week long Lasallian Youth Convention. Lasallian Youth focuses their efforts on discovering more about the four principles of faith, service, com- munity, and justice. 'gOur over- whelmingly positive experience in St. Louis inspires me as Director of Campus Ministry to help foster a greater sense of community among the eight Lasallian high schools in the San Francisco district, said Mr. Sullivan. Closer to home, members of the Rally Board, Student Council, and Block Club attended a two day Stu- dent Leadership Workshop. The fa- cilitators helped students discuss the ycaris agenda and name their mis- sion. The students learned the ad- vantage of trust and good commu- nication when working with other councils. On August 12 and 13, thirty-five students participated in an overnight Spirit Camp. The leaders from U.S.A. Spirit Camp helped students collect and share ideas to promote spirit in the rooting section at games and at rallies. The Spirit Camp was a fun bonding experience because we could come out of our shells and act completely crazy, said junior Faye de Peralta. These students dis- covered more about themselves and their positions as leaders. -Cynthia Chan Muff' wif! .
