rea rvivor When it comes to showing school spirit, SHCP is always there. The radio station Wild 94.9 held a Bay Area high school Survivor Con- test. Students from various schools had to vote many times each night in order for SHCP to stay in the contest. O f over 200 schools participating in the contest, SHCP finished as one of the last two schools in the game. After hearing the announcement that SI-ICP was one ofthe remaining survivors, every student in the school ran towards their computers and began voting through the Internet, hoping to defeat their rival, a 500 student all- girls school in San jose. On the Hnal day ofthe contest, computers in the library were used after school by students eager to win the Peace and Unity Bomb Concert tickets. Despite the students' best efforts, SHCP was not able to beat out Notre Dame High School, who eventually won by 21,000 votes. Even though Sl-ICP didn't win first place in the contest, they were all satisfied by the outstanding concert by Cigf High, which was the second place prize. Despite the hours stu- dents spent in front of computers clicking on SHCP's name, everyone agreed the concert paid offfor all the effort and enthusiasm while voting.

All classes were called upon to help with the noble task of raising Sl28,000. The grand attempt to achieve this year's school goal nearly came up short, but with l000f0 participation by the student body, the school reached its target. The Walk-a-Thon itself began on a chilly morning. Students and teachers arrived at the Golden Gate Park Polo Fields to food and music Dj'd by junior Chris Amodo. As this excitement fed the students' en- thusiasm, energy filled the air, and around 9 a.m., the student body commenced the lOK Walk. Walk-a-Thon The Walk-a-Thon was not only a hike that tested one's physical capabilities, but it proved to be a journey which intensified students' friendships and camaraderie. The Walk-a-Thon was so fun because I was able to hang with friends, said Sophomore Tanya Susoev. The Walk-a-Thon is an event that the school anticipates from the start ofthe year. It offers the Fresh- men a glimpse of the spirit and solidarity of the Irish while giving Seniors a chance to reflect on their time as members of the commu- nity.
