A Phoenix dies, a new one rises. Leaves fall in winter and they come back in spring. Freshmen come, seniors go. The never ending cycle of life. It is a powerful force that never ceases. From the day we were freshmen, we became new people and entered into a new world with limitless possibilities and many new adventures to-face and experience, we were innocent. Everything was-foreign and scary, but this is what life is like. There is so much in the world for us to enjoy, and the question jbr us is what to do jqrst? Time is not on our side as human beings, therefore, we must use it wisely. High school is a small step in the long journey of lyfe. A New Era has begun, and in time it too will end. But the things that matter most are what we did during that Era. We must ask ourselves, did we enjoy high school? Did we accomplish all the things we wanted? Did we push ourselves beyond what we originally thought we could accomplish? Or, are we still where we started? What one does will lead them to many possibilities. What we must face is the question: What to do next? -Anthony Nguyen '00 Below: Seniors Lani Caccrcs. Andrew lbea. and Chrissy DiLuzio pose for the camera.

Some of our mistakes are maj or and some are minor. As the twentieth century ends, we need to make sure that We leam from our mistakes both as individuals and as a society, so they they will not be repeated. In our world, progress has become essential to our survivial. Therefore, it is important that we set goals and work to the best of our ability to accomplish goals that will improve our society. In this new era, unity is the key to our survival as arace. Disharmony continues to be the Worlds' most devastating problem. Hopefully, we can all leam from past mistakes in order to accomplish this simple yet complicated goal of unity. The first step to reaching this goal is through respect for others and friendship. SHCP gives its student body many opportunities to develop through the spirit of friendship. -Heather Ching '99 Rightlunior Joel Dequis and Senior Ardene Ballonodo.

Faculty 73 Era of Wisdom Five days a week, students everywhere learn about math, science, language, English, history, and various other subjects. But what sets the academic program here apart from all the other schools? At SHC, the teachers dedicate themselves to challenging young minds and providing knowledge both inside and outside the classroom. Students worked hard this year to meet challenges and succeed. Throughout the year, we have not only increased our knowledge in academics, but we have gained wisdom through our experiences in the classroom and with our peers. -Kimberly Jong '00 Right: Senior Jon Sung Works out a difficult math problem for the class. Students are encouraged to participate actively in class by sharing their knowledge. Above: Senior Jon Chan reads a few pages of his religion book before a test. Some understanding teachers gave students 21 few moments to review their notes before taking exams. Above: Freshman Sheila Castro concentrates on forming a clay vase. Art classes allowed students to explore their creativity through painting, drawing, and sculpting. 74 Era of Wisdom 'ak ig i E-1 Left: A group of seniors participate in an in- depth class discussion. Class discussions allow students to speak their minds and gain new insights from their fellow students. Below: Geometry teacher Mr. A. Karas welcomes students into class with a smile. Mr. Karas and many other teachers form special bonds with their students that last even beyond graduation. Left: Senior Dominic Starelli helps Junior Michelle Chupo with a math assignment. Students found that working in pairs makes it easier to learn material. Il - - The lyfe which is unexamlned is not worth living. -Plato Academics Division 75 orkin g ith ur Hand Art is a class I enjoy. It' s fun and exciting to learn the different tools of art. This class allows me to express my cre- ativity and artistic skills in every way I can. I enjoy many of the interesting projects that we do too. My teacher, Mr. Parlante, shares his many ideas with the class on projects, and this promotes our understanding of the different mediums in art. -Alvina Cheah '01 Era of Wisdom 76 I really like art class. We experiment with many different mediums: paper, clay, charcoal, and pastels. Mr. Parlante is really cool. He never puts down our art work. I really enjoy his class. It's a very new and cool experience. -Alfredo Biralde III '01 This is my first year taking art, and Iive had a great experience so far. We have worked with our hands to shape our ideas into forms other than just with pencil and paper. So far, We have been introduced to pastels, charcoals, and paints. I hope that I will continue to have the same experiences in 2111. -Kali Yuen 'Ol m--.. gg Far Left: Sophomores Mur- tin l-leugncy und Peter Newland clean up, Class can be fun, but it can also get messy.

The two re- turning seniors Stacie Solt and Vanessa DelCarlo, and new- comer, Lea Ressio, gave the team experience and knowledge. But it was the seven returning junior girls who provided the newer and older runners with leadership, motivation, and inspi- ration. With all new freshmen and sophomore runners, both the J .V. and Varsity Teams had a lot of potential. For the girls, the season started slowly, but soon took off. The Varsity Girls' started to take off with the J.V. Team close behind them. Race after race, the girls started winning. Returning runners broke their old records in half, while the newer runners set amazing new ones. Therefore, it was only natural that the Varisty Team would come in first or second with freshmen Amy Townsend and Shannon Rowbury. Their incredible per- formances, together with the strong times from Brittany Hall, Carmen Bullard, Laura Feeney, and Gina Collignon, led the girls all the way to the State Meet in Fresno. While the Varsity Girls had many successes, the J.V. Girls' Team earned medals and recognitions. Becky Pashenlinsky headed the team with Rebecca Louie and Kimi Rosenteil, while the great efforts from the rest of the runners cleared the path for even more wins and triumphs. Overall, the season was unforgetable, and the many awards, plaques, and headlines can prove it. This season was really fun, even though we had to work a lot harder. The new coach, Andy, gave us more challeng- ing workouts, and while we complained every step of the way, it eventually paid off. The coach did a great job at building team unity by having weekly team meetings and team over-nights. In the end, we all felt like one big happy family. -Laura Feeney '00 I really love Cross-Country, even though I'm only slightly fond of running.

While they didn'thave as many successes as the Women' s Cross-Country team, they nevertheless had a tremendous season. Returning seniors Mike Bourne, Vito Azzolino, Tommy Lee, and Joe Mankiewicz inspired the many younger mem- bers on the team and pushed them to run their best. The juniors, even without many return- ing members, managed to finish the season with great times. Sophomores improved vastly from the times they set last year, and showed great potential for next. The freshmen, while new to the team, took everybody by storm. Their phenomenal races and rankings suprised all, and may prove to be invaluable to the team's future. This season not only did the men' s team performed well on the course, but they also increased their team spirit and unity, especially when both the women and men teams took a trip to- gether to San Luis around Obisbo.

The team suffered the loss of numerous players due to injury or illness. Yet, the rest of the team came together to fill in the gaps left by the absent players.

The Varsity lost the first set, but came back strong and won in four games. Eventually, the Irish went on to face the St. Ignatius Wild Cats,again. They easily defeated the Wild Cats in three games, and soon they were on their way to the CCS semifinals. As they approached the day ofthe finals, the Irish were ready and focused. They came out hard in the first set, but fell behind. During the second set, the Irish rallied back. In the end, the Irish lost the game to the future CCS champions. During the season, many of the players received outstanding awards such as Liz Kelber, who averaged four blocks and 20 kills per match. She received the S.F. Examiner's Player of the Weekw Award, and Liz Kelber and Sheana Wanigatunga were elected to the First Team All League.

Head coach Tim Burke was successful by instilling discipline in his players and in training them for a competitive level of basketball. Practic- ing everyday, the Irish showed potential with their hard work and hustle. The team's plan of attack revolved around an aggressive style of defense. Offensively, they relied heavily on the outside shot. After a shaky pre-season, the team knew it would be difficult to establish them- selves as contenders in the WCAL. The many injuries throughout the season affected the teams' game plan. However, they maintained a positive attitude and continued to give IOOW. Ball handlers, Junior Dan Vincenzi and Sophomore Bobby Barnes controlled the tempo of the game, while Seniors Ty Mason The Irish struggled with executing of- fensive plays and had trouble scoring baskets. Despite a rough season, there were bright spots such as the strong play of Freshman R.T Knauff. -Kevin Nemey 'OO Through hardships, the Irish learned the value of teamwork and Pat O'Shea buried shots from the perim- eter.

Wres- tling consists of two opponents struggling in hand to hand combat in order to pin the other to the ground or mat. Wrestling is an arduous sport with 28 members. This year the Varsity and J.V. Teams were coached by Tom Farrell and assistant coaches Craig Brennan and Jason Gor. The coaches worked the team out six days a week from 2:30 to 5:30. They practiced in the gym and in the La Salle Cafeteria, where the wrestlers sparred with each other to test strength The ancient sport of hand to hand com- bat , stamina, and grappling moves. The coaches also watched over the wrestlers and guided them to perfection. The wrestling team had a great season, despite being pretty small. -Anthony Nguyen '00 144-mn. It was a great year.

The Irish spirit on the team is what really caused the season to be successful and fun. Although they began the season as a less skillful team, they really pulled it together in the end.

They stayed either two and a half weeks or a full month. These adventurers experienced different cultures and lifestyles first-hand with host families. On the Japan trip, students enjoyed a week at Inuyama High School. The second week included a fun-filled tour where students visited Tokyo and Kyoto, among other cities. Meanwhile, 34 SHC students left for Madrid, Spain. They enjoyed three fun filled weeks in Salamanca with their homestay families and attended school at the Colegio de Espana everyday. Their nights were filled with dancing and hanging out with each other and their new friends as well. Throughout the trip, the group had the chance to visit many historical sights. After a month's stay in Spain, students were reluctant to leave behind the beautiful country to go home. In addition, eight SHC students traveled and studied abroad with EF Educational Tours in France for an unforgettable trip. They spent two weeks in Nice with French families while attending classes everyday. Another week was de- voted to the the the sights and sounds of Paris.

This group of students gathers frequently to discuss different ways they can put these beliefs into action. Lasallian Youth holds prayer services and occasionally goes out to do helpful tasks for our community. Students from SHC Went to New York in order to expand their understanding of faith and service in the community. For one week in July SHC students and about 200 other Lasallian students from the East and West Coast stayed at Manhattan College in the Bronx where they organized three days of service together. These activities included working at a summer camp in Harlem, working at a convalescent home, and helping a meal delivery service for people bedridden and sick with AIDS. In addition to doing service. they met many interesting students from around the United States. Lasallian Youth is open to any student willing to help in the community and learn more about its founders.

Masses were a part of what defines us as a catholic school. uThe masses are hard to put together but in the end it is worth it because it brings the school comunity closer together. This yearis liturgy committee made the masses more unique and beautiful than they have ever been beforef, commented Tommy Stark. Father Julian contributed in making these masses so creative. The Sacred Heart community was fortunate enough to have him serve our liturgies. HThe mass on Ash Wednesday also helped us focus on the season of Lent and it' s importance to the school. After mass, everyone seems to be more in touch with their spiritu- ality. The candles really bring a calming element to the atmospheref, replied Mike Bourne.

Where do we live and what do we live for? On August 17th, the members of the senior scholar program embarked on a two day overnight workshop in the Santa Cruz mountains centered around this theme. After reading literature by David Henry Thoreau, the topic moved to the meaning of life. Then the scholars hiked to the Actions Learning Ropes Course where they learned to combine intelligence with physical strength. The Trust Fallf, the 6'Stretcher, the HWall, and the Web', allowed the scholars to build trust in one another and work as a team. Stacie Solt says, 'This year's senior scholar seminar meant 'community.

This new event was the Dunk Tank. The dunk tank hyped up the students and teachers as the Walk-a-Thon day approached. The teachers who offered their bodies to be dunked, taunted the throwers to try to get them motivated. The students who reached their goal of Sl 50 or more were able to participate in this event. These students who reached their goal had three opportunities to hit the target with a ball to dunk the teacher. The teachers who participated in this event willingly to volunteered them- selves for such a good and worthy cause. Some of the faculty members who participated included Mr. Brian Murphy, Mr. Tom Farrell, Mr. Ken Hogarty, Ms. Kate McFadden, Mr. Chris Karas, Mr. Mario Sazo, Mr. Matt Doherty, Mr. Phill Freed, Mr. Scudder, and of course the Dean of Students Mr. Ronald Nocetti.

The Walk-a-Thon is an annual tradition held at the beginning of the year to collect money for SHC. The goal set for the student body was Sl20,000. The once a year event raises a substantial amount of money that contributes to such school projects as the new classrooms located on the first fioor, the library, and free scantrons for students! The student body gathered at the Polo Fields on a chilly 25th of September morning. Spirits were high as Mr. Scudder called the four classes to attention. Class by class the students were dismissed and on their way. This year, however, the walk began in the opposite direction on the track, but the rest of the course was the same. Many students were so excited that they began the walk running. Others enjoyed the peaceful walk by social- izing with friends and classmates. NI look forward to the Walk-a-Thon every year, said junior Patrick Briones. The weather provided a few obstacles for the students.

The costumes, make-up, and hair color showed the students, individuality and creativity. The Student Council prepared many games for F 8a G block lunches. There was a screaming contest, costume contest, and a relay race. The Blood Drive also occurred the day before Halloween. Many students donated a pint of their blood to Anonymous donors in desperate need.

It is not only an honor but a privilege to have a Superior General visit Sacred Heart after 27 years. Brother John started his visit at the Brother' s House for a prayer and welcome. At 9:00, Brother John met with student representatives from different organizations in the chapel. Members from Student Coun- cil, Lasallian Youth, Leadership Class, and other organizations shared thoughts with Brother John. The students did a wonderful job sharing how their experiences make Sacred Heart a Lasallian School. Afterwards, Brother John was given a tour of the school, starting with our state-of-the-art library. He then proceeded towards the gymna- sium, where he spoke to the entire student body. Brother John talked about the worldwide Lasallian Community in 84 different countries. He touched briefly on the different types of programs each community was initiating. Before Brother John departed from Sacred Heart, he stopped by the clothing drive and was able to experience first hand how we truly are a Lasallian School. For Valentine' s Day, Kim Hall 400 and Jason Pellegrini L99 attended a conference with Brother John at Mount La Salle in Napa. The conference included representatives from Bay Area Lasallian Schools, who participated in a mass, a lunch, and a round table discussion about the future of Lasallian Education. -Jason Pellegrini 499 Above: Mrs. Scudder, Mr. Scudder.

Religiou Growth and Spirituality Learning and experiencing through activities and games The Freshmen Retreat took place on the following days, November 12th, 13th, 19th, and 20th, in the Lower Cathedral. Many Freshmen waited anxiously for the opportunity to reflect on how their year has gone so far and get to know their fellow classmates better. Many members of the religion department and upperclassmen worked hard to plan and organize the whole event. The Freshmen Retreat is a program which asks the students to participate in a variety of activities and discus- sions to open themselves up to new and exciting experiences. The entire freshmen student body was divided into groups of about fourteen participants, each with their own student leader and an instructor organizing the events. The overall purpose of the Freshmen Retreat was to bring the class together. In planning this retreat, the organizers hoped that the students would share in each other, s strengths and talents with their fellow classmates. All of the students left the retreat with new friends and ideas about life. Mission Impossible accomplished! Robert Leung '00 Left: Freshman line up eagerly anticipating another activity.

Freshman Retreat 151 The Impossibl Dream The annual fall musical, produced and directed by Mr. Stuart Rosenthal, was Man 0fLa Mancha. This musical is based on the life of Miguel de Cervantes. Thecast and crew worked hard for several months to produce another exceptional musical. Once again, the De Paul Cafetorium was transformed into another spectacular scene. It became the site of the dungeon where Miguel de Cervantes CSean Loughranj was thrown into prison by the Spanish Inquisition. The plot of the play involved a play within a play. As a result, the dungeon is turned into other settings where the position of the props were used to convey the different scenes to the audience. For example,an inn and a highway are some of the settings left to the imagination ofthe audience. Cervantes, imagined himself as the character, Don Quixote, who encountered all sorts of adven- tures and interesting characters with his sidekick Sancho tRobert Quindagl.

Throughout the week, they learned many new things while exploring the nation' s capital. The purpose of the Close-Up Program is to give students an opportunity to learn about how our government works and to study some American history. The trip features interactions with Washington insiders and educational visits around the nation' s capital. The trip also provides students the opportunity to visit various museums and memorials. Thanks to the Close-Up Program, the students were able to learn about both our nations ' s heritage and culture. Everyday, the students' agenda was filled with lectures or discussion panels. Otherwise, their days were filled with tours and visits. In addition to learning about government, the students created many new friendships with people from around the United States. Although they were exausted for a majority of the trip, they were still able to enjoy meeting people and learning about how the American Goverment operates. -Heather Ching '99 and Robert Leung'00 Ab0ve:The SHC ladies enjoy a meals with Close-Up Moderator, Mr Gallegos, During the trip, SHC students toured and explored the capital.

While there, they discussed their feelings about the trip giving them a new perspectives on how others felt about working in a povery striken country.

On December 6, Mr. Mario Dell'Olio and the members of the Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory Chorus presented their sixth annual Christmas Concert at Mission Dolores Church. Over 130 students gathered before a capacity crowd to kick off the Christmas Season. The concert began with the Chorus processing down the aisle carrying candles. ln this dark and solemn church, the candlelight lit up the entire chapel while voices filled the rest ofthe congregation with hope. Soloists Megan Rogers and Joshua Lau, representatives of the junior class, dazzled the audience with the song Dona Nobis Pacemf, Recent graduate B. J. Augustin '98 accompanied the chorus on the violin throughout the performance. In the second section of the music concert, the Chamber Ensemble took center stage. Senior Gianluca Lignola performed O Holy Night in an elegant tenor perfor- mance. The girls dazzled the crowd with their choreography and vocal presentation for All Alone on Christmas. Right before intermission, the chorus performed Silent Night, but added new flavor to the song by performing the entire first verse in sign language. For the very last verse, the choir did not even sing, they only signed, convey- ing the powerful idea of what deaf people experience everyday of their lives. Following the intermission, the Chamber Ensemble, with their medley of songs set the stage for the second half. In all, they amazed the audience with five pieces of music. The gentlemen, entering from the back of the church, quickly took the stage under the Phantom of the Operaw theme song. With choreography designed by Mr. Dell'Olio, the Tenors and Basses sang '6Dashing Through the Slush, a parody on HDashing Through the Snowf, The audience roared with laughter as they witnessed the antics of the men's performance. Junior Jay Leone and Sophomore David Moggia each had solos parts in the song as well. During the last three songs, the Chorus wore their traditional Santa Hats. All of the final pieces were choreographed by Ms. Christine Buell. As a gift to the audience, the Chorus ended the concert with ffWe Wish You Merry Christmas, after which the entire chorus threw their hats at Mr. Dell'Olio. ls this a new tradition for the choir? On December l l, the Chorus performed several selected pieces before the entire SHC Community, as well as before our guests from Saint Paul of the Shipwreck. In the annual winter assembly, the theme was the f'Grinch That Stole Christmas. Sean Loughran and Nicole Anderson were the Masters of Ceremony during this rally to inspire the students before finals. Two special surprises occurred during the Christmas festivities: The visitors from Saint Paul of the Shipwreck, who sang Lean On Me and other religious favorites, and Mr. Scudder who appeared as Santa Claus. At the end of this wonderful performance, everyone left the gym with a sense of ease and comfort. -Robert Leung SOO, Cynthia Fong '00, Matt Glynn L99 Above: St. Paul of the Shipwreck Choir rocks the Christmas Rally.

On the evening of January 8th, 1999, the annual Father-Daughter Dance took place. From 7:30 until 10:00, the girls of SHC danced the night away with their favorite guys, their fathers. The school community normally gets a large turn-out for this event. As usual, the event took place in the lower hall ofthe Cathedral, and pictures were taken in a different, smaller hall. Refreshments were served by many volunteers who gave up their Friday night to go to this event. It was a great deal of fun and an easy way to support the school. A Dancing D.J. was there to supply the entertain- ment, which made the young women and their fathers feel even more special. Freshman Colleen Egan stated, I loved the music, it made the dance so much fun for me and my dad. I hope I go every year and I hope that every year it keeps on getting better and betterf' This opinion was felt almost universally by the members of the school community that attended the dance. Many people at the end of the dance commented on how nicely organized everything was and how much they enjoyed the evening. -Sarah O'Donnell 400 Above: Many ofthe people who attended the dance were upper classmcn who seemed to enjoy themselves.

They started out the year by discussing different philosophers and their influences on the world: Aristotle, Plato, Marx, Freud, Machiavelli, and Darwin. In class, they voiced their opinions and shared their personal experiences regarding these philoso- phers. The material challenged the scholars and gave them the chance to discuss it and apply it to their lives. Dr. Hogarty, s style of teaching scholar seminar encouraged discussions that were freewheeling and non- opposing. Non-scholars frequently attended class sessions. In addition to activities inside school, the seniors had to spend 50- 100 hours on an independent project of their choice. The projects were as varied and creative as the students themselves. Some project examples include Megan Kelly, s creating a basketball porfolio, J oe Mankiewicz writing his own book, Erin Gulbengay starting a new club at school which studies gender issues, and Anne Moriarty becoming a kick boxing expert. After the individual projects were finished, the scholars moved onto the topic of anthropology: the study of different cultures. To finish up the year the seniors had a barbeque at Dr. Hogartys, house. Each seminar of scholars leams not only about the power of thought and the enchantment of life, but also about the bonds of friendship that develop between one another through stimulating conversation. -Rachel Petru S99 write responces to Mr. l-logartyls ope question for a seminar class: How dc think'?', Conversations in class were sual 'H' Above: l to r: Pat Thomas, Walter Jorgenson, Richard Sheridan, Eddie Liu, Ernest Leung, Jonathan Sung, Joe Monkiewicz, Jimmy Cotter.

Rachel Louie fOl Bringing T oda Into Tomorro The Freshmen and Sophomore Council At the crack of dawn, the Freshmen Council joins together to get the job done. Meet- ing every Wednesday morning with Mr. Remington, their moderator, they aim to accomplish the goal of becoming a prosperous council. Throughout the year, they have many objectives they will strive to fulfill. The Freshmen Council works on numerous activities and events. They take on the task oforganizing the Freshmen Family Mass and contributing to the WinterBall. They gain inspiration from each other, not just as student council members. -Regina Haugabook 'Ol This year the Sophomore Council was led by Mr. Link. Many of these sophomores already experienced being council leaders during freshmen year. Now it is their turn to take charge and guide the incoming freshmen. Sophomore Council' s biggest project this year was planning the Winter Ball. They also held many different fundraisers to gather money such as the Halloween Grams. This council meets regularly, which takes a lot of dedication. Coming together and uniting with the freshmen, these two councils have made quite a difference at the school. -Jackie Hu 'Ol W ir A W. ii I am very happy thatl have had the opportunity to work with the Q people that are in the council, because there is no ranking. We are 1 Q I all equal, and we work as one to get thejob done. -Chellsea Rivera L02 If The hardest part in planning for the Winter Ball was having so much work to do and so little time to do it. However, it was easy to plan since we have such an organized council this year, we all do our share of the work. -Audrey Abar 'Ol Frosh!Soph Council 183 Learning in and outside of the community Junior Statesmen of America gives students the opportunity to build their knowledge of government and democracy. Understanding is achieved through attending numerous conventions and having debates. Members get to meet people from the President, s cabinet, state senators, and representatives. Attending these conventions, students are able to learn and socialize at the same time. California Scholarship Federation, also known as CSF, consists of many academically strong students. CSF enables these students to participate in many events that affect their future. Field trips to local colleges are ways in which members can make decisions about life after high school. This year together with students from other schools, members traveled to Santa Clara University to see first hand what it was like. District meetings, as well as being in charge oftutoring, are other activities CSF does. The California Scholarship Federation, s main focus is to help fellow students, in addition to its own members, with both present and future choices. -Anthony Tallerico 'OO We enjoy being in JSA because it teaches us to effectively express ourselves and gives us the opportunity to go places and meet other people. -Catherine Naughton 601 I enjoy being the President of CSF because it teaches me how to M ' W be responsible.

The Spirit Club and the moderators, Mr. Sazo and Coach Blake, have led students in many successful cheers during school sporting events. The Yell Leaders take on the role of organizing chants and boosting the school spirit. Cheers and chants help motivate the students as well as the players in the game. Through their leadership, they spread the word on what SHC is all about. Also, they allow the audience to participate in the game by helping them express their emotions. -Brian Cranna '00 The Rally Board is a group of fun and creative individuals who work together with their moderator, Ms. Rinaldi, to produce rally entertainment for the student body. The group as a whole comes up with all of the rally themes. The Rally Board is hand selected by the moderator, Ms. Rinaldi. The making of a rally is a long process, as well as very difficult. Teamwork is vital to the success of the Rally Board. They meet once a week during the activity peroid and work hard to make their plans work. -Sara Rodriguez '00 As a Yell Leader, I have met a lot of people and had fun at the games. It feels good knowing you are carrying on the tradition of The Fighting Irish cheering section. -Gina Feretti 600 This year has brought major changes to the Rally Board, good and bad. With a new moderator and only a handful of experi- enced members, we opened up the board to many new possibili- ties. Learning new things as we go along, we, a group of highly motivated individuals, have come together to deal with the success and failures of each rally. We hope to continue building school spirit by giving our all to the student body. -Kim Hall 600 Spirit Club!Rally Board 187 Movin' to the Beat ln Rhythmic Motion SHC, s Step Team consists of talented students who love to dance and perform in front of a large crowd. These members practice long and hard to put forth a good show. Their original style of step routine and dance movements entertain the crowds during football games, basketball games, and rallies. With the help of step captains the collection of talented students are able to choreograph new and upbeat dances. Day in and day out the dedicated members of the step team practice their routines in preparation for their upcoming performances. The group fills the freshmen campus with loud stomps, claps, and music. All the practices pay off when their routine is finished and the receptive crowd gives a loud cheer showing just how much they enjoyed the performance. The club also provides a postive atmosphere for students to socialize after school. - Eric Wei '00 and Nicole Concepcion '00 Step Team is a fun organization at SHC where individuals are allowed to express their creativity through dance and perfor- mance. The thrill of performance is a pensive yet an envigorating experience. Along with the team captains, we are able to choreograph unforgettable half-time routines. Step Team has been an enriching part of my years at SHC. - Andrew lbea E99 Step Team is an enjoyable activity. Practicing may be hard and long, but at the end all the hard work is worth it. When you perform at games you can really feel the school spirit that the SHC community provides.

Celina Gomes. and Jenny Choy, Not Pictured: Nami Shioxaki, 190 Era of Aeeomplishment mong the thletes Many people donit realize how much behind the scene work goes into an athletic competition. Here is a glimpse of what they do: As one reflects upon the sport's year, three of the most integral organizations that work with the school are the Sports Medicine Club, Sports Information Club, and the Athletic Advisory Board. Although none of these clubs' participants play in any games, they have an important role in what occurs behind the scenes. Students who may not want to play a particular sport get a chance to help their fellow schoolmates in athletically related activities by joining one of the following clubs. The Sports Medicine Clubis main purpose is to make sure that the athletes are safe and remain that way. This medical organization offers first aid training, prevention care for athletes, and rehabilitation of the occasional injured athlete. Under the wonderful guidance of Eileen Wunder, the student trainers are present at all of the games the athletes play in, as well as most practices. Any students interested in having some exposure to the medical world, should strongly consider this club. Along with lessons on how to treat injuries, students acquire knowledge in taping techniques as well as the human anatomy. This club offers a wealth of experience with athletes, injuries, and medical professionals. At the same time, students who are interested in the medical aspects of the sports program may also want to consider joining the Sports Information Club. The main purpose of this organization is to keep a detailed statistical account of all the athletes and the teams. This group of highly dedicated and organized students also play a vital role in public relations by helping to publicize upcoming athletic events. Mr. Mark Fabbri makes sure all of his club members keep on top of their assignments. Another vital link between the school and its athletes is the Athletic Advisory Board. Comprised of athletes from different sports, each team has one representative on the board. The board, s main function is to create better communication between the student athletes and the athletic adminis- tration. This club is organized in such a fashion to allow all the sports teams to have a voice. The members of the board bring their collective minds together in order to improve the athletic atmosphere. -Robert Leung L00 It was a great experience being on the Sports Advisory Club. I enjoyed meeting all the teams and making new friends. In addi- tion, I was also able to watch many exciting games. -Valerie Montez GOO The Sports Medicine Club was very fun because we took care of people, s injuries and prevented them from getting worse. I liked it a lot and encourage others to join. -Nami Shiozaki 'Ol Sports Information!Sports Medicine!Athletic Advisory Board l9l Era or hip Campus Ministry of Campus Ministry is one of the least credited organizations at Sacred Heart.They are in charge of many activities such as the food drive and the bake sale. All of their proceeds go towards the needy. They are also in charge of making our school masses as good as they are. If you have ever spoken to a member about what they do, you would know it is a lot of hard work. The work does pay off in the end, when our masses look good and go smoothly. Afterwards, everyone is rewarded with a little party. You do not need to be Catholic to be a part of this orginazation. You do not need to have any religious beliefs. All you need is a big heart, a desire to help, and good intentions. These people are so friendly, you will feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door. You are not required to give up your life to this organization. Every small thing helps. You can help set up masses. You can create decorations for the masses. You can devote as much, or as little time as you want. They will take what ever you have to offer. -Jason Minj arez '99 I joined campus ministry to become more involved with my faith. Iget a good feeling when all my hard work pays off and the mass goes well. The best part is that even though the work is hard, I have so much fun that it goes by fast. -Mike Bourne '99 i I am in campus ministry because it makes me feel good about helping the community and giving back to the school. I greatly enjoy working with the other students that are involved in campus ministry. We have a lot of fun together. I also love working with the faculty in charge. I have learned a great deal from Ms. Lorentz, Br. Kevin, Fr.

Lasallian Youth dedicates its time to serving the less fortunate. Their objective includes improving the lives of people at SHC and in the Bay Area. The club is enjoying its third year here, although its concept goes back to the days of St. John Baptist De La Salle. Faith, service, justice, and community form the basis of Lasallian beliefs. Lasallian Youth meets during the activity period every Tuesday. Any student who wishes to be a part of this organization is always welcome. The Liturgy Committee leads and organizes the students and faculty in the mass celebration. They meet every Tuesday and when special masses are scheduled. Liturgy Committee collects props and performs skits to enhance the theme ofthe mass. By doing so, they keep the students entertained during mass and spread their message regarding teen pressures, friendships, and other moral lessons. -Clayton Mannix '00, Nikki Portoghese 400 and Jason Minjarez L99 Joining Lasallian Youth has been a great experience for us. Our activities and work in the community are fun and productive. The effect of Lasallian Youth is always postive. -Deborah Williams 'OO and Kimi Rosentiel 400 Liturgy Committee has taught me howto make a big difference in my community. I like how we all come together to help those in need. I feel good seeing the less fortunate smile. Ibelieve that what I have learned in Lasallian Youth will continue after high school. -Tommy Stark 499 Lasallian Youth ! Liturgy Committee l95 Reaching out to the Community And helping our peers During the year, students sometimes encounter problems that other students understand better than adults. It can be hard finding someone to talk to, so that' s what the Peer Helpers are for. The Peer Helpers is an organization that trains its members to counsel and educate other members ofthe school community. This group of people range from sophomores to seniors who have been through training sessions and are available to help ifyou ever want or need to talk to someone. The club organizes many activities that help to educate the student body, and this year the group concentrated on HIV awareness. What is C.L.A.S.S.'? Well, it stands for Cathedral Liturgical Altar Serving Society. The members of this group work as altar servers and help to celebrate our school masses. The members of C.L.A.S.S. come together to share and serve the rest ofthe SHC Community at mass. - Anushka De Costa 'OO I joined because I Wanted to know how to help my friends, give proper advice, and actually know what to say to people if they needed help. I joined the club again this year be- cause I had fun teaching last year during Freshman Day. I think that this group has helped educate the SHC commu- nity about HIV and AIDS, and Iim happy to know that I was a part ofit. - Colleen Wong '00 Ijoined C.L.A.S.S. because I Wanted to be a part ofthe school masses.

This club tries to raise issues regarding our rights like the treatment of citizens by the police, and police practices that affect the well-being of our community. The club likes to include the student body in such discussions so that others may become aware of harmful issues. T.U.F.F., Together United for the Future, is a club that celebrates diversity and culture. Students express their diversity through various activities and develop a sense of unity. Through activities such as the toy drive, special speakers, and mini-theaters, T.U.F.F. hopes to shed light on issues that affect our society. -Stephanie Chan 600, Catrina Lee '00, and Christina Lee 600 I joined Amnesty International because I was concerned for the well being of those whose civil rights have been neglected I enjoy violating govenments regarding wrong things that are happening to innocent people Magnus Yang O0 the fact that We Write letters to speak our minds to human rights Ijoined T.U.F.F., Together United for the Future, because I am proud ofmy culture and I like learning about other cultures.

NetWorld: Entering a Another Phase of Reality Chess Club: Actions Speak Louder than Words 1995 marked the dawn of an exciting new club which brought to life the mysteries of the internet. Mrs. Scudder, the club' s moderator, saw that there was a pressing need to create a bridge that would link the school to the 2181 century. She also saw that this club would generate a genuine interest among the students. NetWorld sponsors Internet and e-mail workshops for students and faculty alike. Members also create and update the school' s website, which includes other clubs, homepages. This year, for the very first time, the club invited guest speakers to explain various issues concerning the technological field. The overall philosophy of NetWorld is for members to share their expertise and also provide an invaluable resource for the school by serving their school community. To play or not to play that is the question students ask themselves every Tuesday during the activity period. At 8:00 a.m., Mr. Rogers opens his doors to faithful chess players. Originally started when the two schools Sacred Heart and Cathedral merged twelve years ago, the Chess Club has always provided a relaxing atmosphere for students. The Chess Club has hosted tournaments against Saint Ignatius and Riordan and held workshops for opening and end games Ca.k.a. starting and finishing movesl. Though the name ofthe organization, Chess Club, implies only chess, other games are also played. Occasionally, players are found playing Quadular, three dimensional chess, and Chinese Chess. The game ofchess provides its players with the opportunity to enhance their concentration and thinking ability. It also has a direct correlation with academic achievement through improving patience and memory skills. - Robert Leung 600 I joined NetWorld because it allows me to express my creativ- ity. In joining NetWorld, I am able to to showcase my talents. This is the only Hrealw club that gets to use computers and I enjoy researching ideas on the world wide web. I enjoy helping to develop the schoool' s web page and the opportunity to use computers at anytime. -Donato J ara 499 I wanted tojoin the Chess Club because it is a stimulating game where I am able to crush my opponents. I like to test my skills with other worthy opponents. Chess is a game of patience, where one must take his or her own time in order to succeed. One poor move can ruin your entire game. -Elliott Saint-Pierre 400 NetWorld!Chess 203 Catching th Memorie Through the looking glass The Photo Club takes pictures of everyday student life. They attend school events, clubs, and lunch activities in order to record them step by step. By waiting for the perfect moment, they create art and capture it so that the whole school can see what they may have missed or remember a great time. They attend the major events of student life and record them step by step. The Photo Club is not just about taking pictures. They also give their best photos to the newspaper and yearbook. What makes Photo Club so much fun is that they see all the pictures first. The Photo Club must work hard to capture that special memorable moment. You must have patience and be ready when the right moment comes. -Bronwen David '00 The reason I joined Photo Club was because I heard it was alot of fun, and it would give me an opportunity to interact in the SHC Community. For example, I went to the Open House to take pictures. People think itis just an easy club to join, but actually you have to do a lot. I think this club is exciting and new each week. -Christina Olloqui, '02 I like Photo Club because I attend and photograph all of the different activities and clubs. Even though I just joined, I am already the club' s supervisor. Mr.Conolly has a good sense of humor, which makes the club fun and enjoyable.

The various clubs are: the Spanish Club, moderated by Mr. Wallace, the French club, moderated by Ms. Bernard, and the Japanese Club, moderated by Ms. Toyada. They meet separately every Tuesday during activity period. In the Japanese Club they Watch videos, including cartoons such as KiKi's Special Delivery Service. They also make origami creations, like cranes, flowers, and balloons. The Spanish Club spends a lot of time deciding what activities to sponsor and which ones to raise money for. Their latest cause was the victims of Hurricane Mitch in Central America. They also Watch movies, plan and attend field trips, and hold special events. They also like being in a club together so that they can share and relate to each other about the Spanish cultural experience. The French Club got together to Watch movies, assist each other in the subject, and plan special events to attend and sponsor. They are in the process of planning field trips to restaurants to give students the opportunity to taste the unique French cuisine. All in all, each club offers students the experience of a different culture through field trips, activities, and most of all, language! -Clayton Mannix '00 and Anthony Nguyen 'OO The Spanish Club gives its members a chance to join together to celebrate our cultures, and help raise money for needs like the those of the victims of Hurricane Mitch. -Erika Aguilerra '99 I joined the Japanese Club because I Wanted to learn more about the Japanese language, culture, and traditions.

How do you manipulate E.coli in DNA? Well, donit ask us, ask the Science Club and their moderator Mr. Moore. NO, this club isn't made up of mad scientists, just students that can' t get enough of exploring the wacky world of science. This year, the Science Club genetically transformed bacteria and practiced professional scientific techniques such as DNA fingerprinting, Arar electropharesis and bacterial transforma- tion. Mr. Moore says, HScience Club ROCKS!!! I think that it is important for students to learn about biotechnology, so I have seminars every week. Do you know that dirty barren lot behind Burger King? Well, it' s not a dirty barren lot anymore thanks to the efforts of the Earth Action Club. This year, club moderator, Mr. Moore, and several dedicated students vowed to transform the lot into a beautiful, litter-free garden. Every Thursday after school, the club goes to the garden to plant flowers and maintain its beauty and cleanliness. Also, the club goes to Ocean Beach to clean up the mess made by litter bugs. Most importantly, club members get satisfaction out of beautifying the environment. -Jennifer Chan 'OO and Kimberly Jong 400 In Science Club, I enjoy upper-level experiments such as the pGLO transformation lab. I also enjoy the Bio-Tech seminars that Mr. Moore holds. I think that these opportunities will help me to accomplish my goal of becoming a doctor or a researcher in the medical field. This club provides additional experiments that are not held in a classroom environment. -Robert Leung 'OO clean atmosphere. - Kali Yuen f0l 208 Era of Accomplishment I joined Earth Action because it gives me a chance to take care of the environment and have fun while doing it.

The Art Club has been hard at work getting back to the basics with an added flare. They have been making their own paper while adding materials and colors to turn an ordinary sheet of paper into something extraordinary. Other projects which they have been working on include rubber stamping, making paper molds, and designing pottery. By meeting every week, the Model Building Club vigourously works on putting together model cars, planes, and other assorted vehicles. The Model Building Club provides assistance as well as paints for use on the models. The members are able to create something tremendous from pieces ofthe model. With imagination, the sky is the limit. -Chrissie Fong 601 y ., .. ,,A-V i Art Club has been a new and exciting experience. It is fun and ' , .lr i tr t T y interesting.

The Speech Club and ITS, International Thesbian Society, involves plenty of action and adventure. The Speech Club, led by moderator Ms. Buell, welcomed their new speech coach Ron Johnson. Together, they trained to compete at schools around the Bay Area and also at private organizations offering alluring cash prizes. Besides attending toumaments, the team sponsors Sacred Heart Cathedral, s annual junior high speech toumament. ITS, led by Mr.Rosenthal, meets every Tuesday during the activity period. Many students who share a love for acting attend to promote theater and discuss upcoming events, including the Open Mike Cafe. Many members extend their enthu- siasm in acting to school events by joining the stage crew, cast, or publicity team ofthe SHC Theater Company' s fall and spring productions. - Betty Chu '00 Speech offers the opportunity to improve public speaking skills. Our new coach Ron encourages us to do our best all the time. Since joining speech, Iive leamed the importance of body language as an oratory skill. Also, Iive met many great new people at speech toumaments who share my love for speech. - Linda Poon '99 My I enjoy being in the International Thespian Society because it is iii a way for our theatrical, creative, and humorous urges to flourish.

Every Thursday, the LaSalle Cafeteria spins with the dancing of one of SHCP,s most up and coming clubs: the Dance Club! This year was the second for SHCP's Dance Club, and the club has grown and developed a lot. The club members vary from people who have never danced before to people who have been dancing since the age of three or four. Members learn how to swing, salsa, and tango. The clubs' goal is to perform dances by the end of this year or the beginning of next. Keep dancing! Although the Bicycling Club is small, its members are devoted and love a long ride. The Bike Club rides in Golden Gate Park, around the city, and when they are feeling energetic, they go to Sausalito and into Fairfax. The Bicycling Club also holds tech meetings about how to maintain a bike and how a bike works. One of their interesting projects is breaking down a bike into its simplest parts. Keep biking! -Leslie Green 601 The Bicycling Club is a fun way to get exercise and stay in shape. We save money by learning to service our own bikes. This also preserves our bikes so that they will last longer. -Collin Dong '01 Dance club needs to become more established. One of our main goals for the rest of this year is to expand our membership. We also need to attrack more males to the club. But, for a second year club, we are doing pretty well. -Aimee Goyhenetche 601 Bicycle!Dance Club 215 The Loud and the Crazy WAKE UP SHG!!! The Pep Band is a percussion group created to bring support to school sporting events. With the cool beats and loud sounds, the band can get the Irish on their feet. It started last year as a new activity to add excitement to school events and to teach new members how to carry a beat. With the sound ofmarching snare drums, low-pitched bass drums, and different pitched toms, the pep band can play a variety of unique beats and lead school cheers. Ms. McFadden, the head ofthe band, explains their sound as, f'Spirited and dedicatedf' The pep band members are strong and supportive ofthe Irish, and they pump up the student body every chance they get. The Broadcast Club, lead by Mrs. Murray, is a group that goes on the P.A. every morning to tell the student body what will occur that day at SHC. When listening to the announcements, you can hear the club's excitement about what they do. These short moming announcements range in style from singing to playing new tunes and their own remixes. They also perform skits giving out all the information the SHC community needs to know. -Simon Chaban '00 Even though we have straps that hang from our shoulders, the drums still weigh a lot.

As a solely after-school project, with students receiving no credit or outside benefits, the New SHC Emerald Staff is one ofthe most dedicated clubs in the school. The Emerald is constantly looking for intelligent, creative students to write, edit, and produce the newspaper. The Emerald headquarters is a center of literary genius and a breeding ground for young, aspiring, intellectual troublemakers. -Joshua Stageberg 400 f'To be, or not to be, that is the question V' The Oracle is a group of students who publish a book of poems every year. The poems are written by the creative minds of SHC. Their poems are about many topics such as nature, love, and family. The Oracle meets once a week during activity period. They read, edit, and choose poems, and other literary pieces that are best suited for the book. There are many submissions to this book, but only a few make it. -Betty Chu '00 The whole Emerald experience has been very cool. Our modera- tor, Mr.Pardini, has a grotesque sense of humor which actually i gets laughs out of the staff. But, he is a good man.Our staff is an eclectic group, and itls funny to watchthem interact with each other. These two factors basically constitute the Emerald expe- rience. -Vince Lee '00 I enjoy being a part of the Oracle because it gives me a chance to experience others, unique personalities and their creativity. I also enjoy being a part of this organization and reading the many poems. Rebecca Brinkley '99 Emerald!Oracle 219 Yearbook 1998-1999 Not just a club anymore, yearbook has now expanded into a class as well. The Yearbook is an annual book that is put together by the students at SHC. They record, observe, and write about the memorable things that happen at SHC all year round. Staff members are given the chance to learn and grow through experienc- ing, interacting with others, and exploring different aspects of the school. Yearbook gives students the opportunity to meet new people, attend special events, and enjoy themselves through teamwork. The yearbook club consists of almost 30 students who meet not only at activity period but afterschool as well. For the first time at SHC, yearbook was offered as a class. Meeting before school and during G block, the class learned about spread design, writing copy, photography, deadlines, and how to work as team. The Yearbook Class quickly leamed that they were going to have to put a lot of hard work and dedication into making deadlines. It was hard at first, but now the Yearbook Class has become a way for people to meet and develop friendships. -Rachel Petru Yearbook is one of the most challenging and difficult organiza- tion at SHC. However, I find it a rewarding experience. As a member, I really enjoy the company of the wonderful yearbook staff. - Anthony Nguyen '00 I enjoy Yearbook Class because I get to be a part of putting it together.

But, in the larger scheme of things, where do we start? We stand at the doorstep of a new millenium and wonder where our destiny will take us. Looking back at the school year, we see how we have grown physically, mentally, and spiritually. Hopefully, the future holds new adventures as well as personal discovery.

Their record showed and dem- onstrated their outstanding skills as a team. They came together as a team and together they made it into the G.P.S.L. Tournament. Traditionally, women would need to compete against men to play on the golf team. However, this year several schools in the G.P.S.L. got together and decided to create a league of their own. They can only play schools in groups of four because the teams in the League are not large enough yet. But in the near future, the interest and popularity of the women's golf team hopes to grow. Their success has already begun with veteran coach lVlr. Flinders. In the tournament they successfully came in 2nd place.

The warm and friendly Rodriguez family took the participants into their home and made them feel truly welcome. Though they did not have much extra to spare, they still shared a wonderful pizza lunch with the group. During the course of the meal, Mr. Rodriguez gave us a presentation ftrans- lated by Ms. Shirahb about the pesticides that farmers use for their crops. These poisons enter peoples' bodies after consuming certain foods, but especially after eating strawberries, which have the highest concentration of pesticides. He gave a strong argument for buying organic! I appreciated the chance to learn about some really neat projects farmworkers have put together to help better their lives. The people we met prove that sticking together as a community can be a powerful way to build faith and hope, said Ms. Shirah looking back on the experience. On Sunday, the group went to a local Catholic Church for Mass. Following this service they went to a community garden project and worked side by side with the others who participated in this project. Finishing this project, they said their good-byes and took the freeway home. The group left Salinas feeling very satisfied spiritually. The following Tuesday the group had a small prayer service and reflected on the weekend experience they had together. g'We all had a wonderful time together and look forward to the next immersion experience that the SHC community has, stated Robert Leung on reflection Tuesday.

A Celebration of Unity The Sophomore Council began preparing for the Sophomore Family Mass at least a month ahead of time. They made and posted signs on every floor and recruited volunteers to read. The council also organized the set-up of the gym and the decorations for the mass. After weeks of planning, the day of the mass finally arrived. Early in the morning, the sopho- more council, readers, and chorus arrived to the gym for practice. Council members and other sophomores greeted the families entering the gym by offering them each a palm in celebration of Palm Sunday. Father Jean Pierre led the family mass and shared his experiences of working with Sunday school children and their amazing dedication to their faith. He also sang some prayers in his native African language. Volunteers proclaimed the Gospel in the form of a skit. When the mass ended, eveiyone was invited to gather in the cafeteria for breakfast. Here, students and parents were able to chat with old friends and meet new ones. Prayer followed by a relaxing breakfast allowed students, parents, and faculty the opportunity to get to know each other a little more and to build on the unity of the class and its families. -Rachel Louie'OO The part of the sophomore family mass that I enjoyed the most was the diversity. lt was cool to see all the different cultures that are represented in the sophomore class alone. I feel lucky to be a part of the S.H.C. community. -Greg Crosby '01 l really liked the priest. It was interest- ing how he spoke to us in his native language, Congolese.

Senior Prom 35 Baccalaureate Mass Good Morning, faculty, staff, friends, and family of the Sacred Heart Cathedral Community and fellow graduates of the class of Nineteen Hundred and Ninety-Nine. Let us remember that we are in the Holy presence of God. We as a class have recited this prayer for the past four years. It is at the end of our four years here at Sacred Heart Cathe- dral that we realize the impact this prayer has had on all of our lives. Together we have reached the end of our four year journey at Sacred Heart Cathedral. We gather here today in recognition of our achievements. We, the graduates, want you to know that we share our achievements with all of you who have given of yourselves to make this day possible for us. Supported by the knowledge that you believe in us, we have been able to pursue opportunities at SHC with great confidence. On a lighter note, to my fellow seniors, I offer the following observations and memories. Remember when? We were freshmen entering the DePaul campus for the first time, so excited and so scared we thought we'd throw up, in fact some did. Remember collared shirts-tucked out. Remember when? You heard the chant freshmen, freshmen at our first rally, And let us not forget 'fRoll Call? Remember when? We entered the La Salle campus for the first time as sopho- mores-only to find ourselves in the midst of a construction zone, complete with workers in hard-hats. Speaking of construction zones, condemned to the depths of the lower lockers, we could have used hard-hats considering how many English, Econ, and Civic's books fell on our heads. It's surprising we didn't get any concussions. I guess there is some benefit to being hard headed. Remember collared shirts-tucked in! Remember when? Junior year was a banner year for SHC sports-the boys won the Bruce Mahoney, AND for the first time in seventy two years, Sacred Heart Cathedral brought home a state championship basketball title to San Francisco. And guess what? It was the girls who got the job done. Remember collared shirts - tucked out! AND HERE WE ARE: Senior Year! Polo shirts -tucked out! In the words of Alanis Morrisettez 'flsnit it Ironic -... twelve years ago we started our education by learning our ABC's. And here we are ending it the same way...SAT...GPA...ACT...Y2K...ETC. We are young adults now, making decisions -some critical and some not so critical. Pre Med. at UCLA? Soil Science at Cal Poly? Grad night with Shamu7 So boys and girls, H On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate the Class of 699? St. John Baptist de la Salle once said That the care of instructing youth is one of the most necessary works of the church.' Sacred Heart Cathedral has proven this to all of us over the past four years. Let us now take time to thank our parents, who sacrifice to give us the opportunity to attend SHC. San Francisco has many fine Catholic high schools to choose from and our parents decided to send us to Sacred Heart Cathedral. Along with the importance of a quality Catholic Education, our parents chose to provide us something more - an opportunity to experience the rich diversity of San Francisco in an environment based on mutual respect and the belief in the dignity of all people. Although San Francisco is considered to be one of the most important cities in the world, children can easily grow up here, sheltered in a residential neighborhood and never get to experience the City's richness. We thank our parents for valuing the philosophy of SHC and recognizing the unique opportunity this inner-city Catholic school offers it students. Let us also thank all the teachers and staff here at Sacred Heart Cathedral. Each of you, in one way or another, has enrichec the lives of every graduate sitting here before you. You were always there to attend to our academic, spiritual, and emotional needs. You are our advisors and our mentors. You are our friends. To our classmates, we thank each other for our friendships, loyalty, and support and we wish each other much happiness and success. To the SHC student body, we thank you for your friendships and support and we urge you to enjoy SHC and to make good use of the opportunities available to you here. Now as we venture into a bigger world let us remember and take with us the prayer we learned when we entered this school. Live Jesus in our hearts, Forever Lastly we the Class of 1999, thank and applaud all of you four families, friends, and teachersj, for our successes are aslo your successes. Thank you. -Meghan Duff Salutatorian 1999 36 Spring Supplement Right: Nicholas Rivera performs forthe SHC chorus one last time.

Baccalaureate Mass 37 'N raduation Commen ment Members of the class of 1999, this is it, this is the moment we've been working towards for years. And today, we sit surrounded by those who have brought us to this point, the lives that have affected our lives: Mom, Dad, grandmas and grandpas, aunts and uncles, cousins, big sisters, little brothers, and best friends, and, of course, our Sacred Heart Cathedral Peiparatory family-- teachers, counselors, mentors, coaches, confidants, all people who have shaped us into the unique individuals we are today. My friends... Today is the first day of the rest of your lives. Today hallmarks the dramatic close of a four-year odyssey of the 277 graduates seated before me, yet today also marks the beginning of our individual treks through the underbrush of uncharted territory. Today is ours, and class of l999's, ours to celebrate and explode with meaning and nostalgia. We represent the last of our kind, the final graduates of this 20th century. The cover of our senior yearbook aptly reads End Of An Era. Never again will a class leave Sacred Heart Cathedral from our place in history. We are the last to surrender our niche in time, and yet the first to leap through the fiery ring to the future. We may harbor some personal uncertainty, but the world around us clings to an even greater apprehension as we journey into the unknown, the next century, the next millennium. And yet it is on us, the class of 1999, where all eyes will remain focused. Each of us is important, each of our lives matters--the young look up to us as mentors and leaders and the old embrace our hope, our conviction, our flair for living and adventure. We tread the footsteps along the cutting edge. But who are we, with our 17, I 8, 19 years oflife experience, mere babies in the scope ofthe world, to really make a differ- ence? It can daunt us to face this challenge, we have huge shoes to fill and no footprints to follow. At times it may seem easier to slip into the crowd and disappear amongst the uncertain followers than to stand up confidently and take a risk. We establish stringent self-limitations, these steadfast barriers that constantly protect us from uncertainty, potential embarrassment, from failure. But these so-called comfort zones only tend to stifle our courage and our creativity. We shy away from the unknown, and yet as we fast approach the 21st centry, isn't it all one giant unknown that only we can question and conquer in order to survive? So frequently in life, and especially in our academic quest, we seek out the easiest pathway, the one with minimal obstacles, that creates the least hardship. In the age of internet and world wide communication, to do lists, deadlines, and demands, we tend to value time so much that we constantly try to conserve it by taking shortcuts, we are willing to sacrifice ourselves in order to save a few seconds. But how often do we actually seek out the lengthy challenges? When do we search for not necessarily the easiest way, but the one where we will learn the most, the one that truely excites us? Far too often we let opportunities fall by the wayside because we feel they are too dificult, too demanding. We underesti- mate ourselves and the strength of our willpower. Let us not set a limit on our potential. We must come face-to-face with doubt, uncertainty, even fear, and we cannot back down. We can no longer stand on the sidelines under the auspices of being Htoo young or 'ftoo naive. The flair of life is contained in the challenge, in the passion of trying to conquer an obstacle, solve a problem, think out a solution. In fact, in writing this valedictory speech, I found myself struggling to capture the right words to represent 277 distinctive individuals. In the end, I had to face the challenge and live out the very message I am trying to convey. But far more difficult than the challenges of helping ourselves, such as improving our grades, making the starting line-up, perfecting our singing voice, or getting accepted to the college of our choice, are the challenges we face in unselfishly helping others, challenges some of us embraced in journeying down to Tijuana, Mexico, to serve the people at the border, or singing last year for the funeral of three children, or simply sacrificing our time and our energy to become a tutor and a mentor for a student at St. Paul of the shipwreck. Try to convey that buming feeling inside of giving yourself whole-heartedly to someone else, and you will find that it is a challenge in itself. To think is the greatest freedom bestowed on humankind, and to love is the strongest force in life. Use the power of your mind and the passions of your heart to make a difference for another human being. If every person would take someone else under his or her wing and for that one person embrace the role of a teacher, a leader, a person to look up to, believe in, and trust, then a chain of greatness would be in our midst. The limits of our beliefs define the limits of our realities. 58 Spring Supplement l'd like to leave you with a famous parable with an added twist. It speaks well forthe past four years we' ve spent together. or the future pathways we will tread individually. and for this present moment, united for the last time as Sacred Heart Cathedreal 'reparatory's Class of l999. This story is entitled Footprints : On the eveneing before graduation, a young woman had a dream. She dreamed she was walking along the beach with the ,ord. Across the sky flashed scenes from her life. For each scene, she noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to ier, and the other to the Lord. When the most recent scene of ther life flashed before her, she looked back at the footprints in the sand. She noticed that many times along the path of her life there was only one set of footprints. She also noticed that it happened it the very lowest and saddest times in her life. This really bothered her and she questioned the Lord about it. t'Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most roublesome times of my life, there is only one set of footprints. Idon't understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave ne. The Lord replied, amy precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and .uffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. The young woman stood transfixed in awe and gratitude, for she finally understood. Then the Lord looked deep into her :yes and spoke again, There are many people, the world over, who need my help, my guidance, my love. But I am only one. Please, low that you have felt the hands of compassion, be the arms of support for someone else.', Members cyfthe class of I999, I challenge you to lovingly take up another person into your arms. Never loubt your own strength or-fear the extra burden. The added weight will only make yourfootprints deeper.
