All of these times are important be- cause looking back upon them gives us a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment. Over the years, Santa Teresa has deservedly taken credit for many outstanding accomplish- ments, and this year is no excep- tion. Our varsity football team had an amazing, long-awaited, victory season. Our varsity volleyball team captured the MHAL cham- pionship, and the girl's varsity swim team are league champions. The list goes on ... Liason, Oscar Gonzalez, is a perfect example why S.T. runs so smoothly, I usually don't have to handle the kids because the teachers do their job and take care of business... I can give the kids the benefit of the doubt be- cause I respect them and, in turn, they respect me.” In short, there doesn't seem to be any secret to taking credit for an accomplishment, except knowing when. S.T. will take on any new challenges and continue to achieve its goals. By Jan Kopc- zynski. cs fj LANNING AHEAD. I’m O.K. on credits, right?, inquires senior Michele Christensen.

What motivates us to sacrifice luxuries in life, such as sleep, for school? The answer, of course, lies in credits. Though some classes are re- quired for graduation, students are free to choose courses. Differ- ent opinions across campus de- velop as to which classes are most enjoyable, most beneficial and which classes cause permanent brain damage. Senior Mark Mabanag ad- mitted that working in the guid- ance office and delivering coun- seling slips is great fun, especially since it requires little thought! Junior Michele Ramos, on the other hand, enjoys her Honors English class. “Mr. Sheehy is very difficult, but he manages to make learning a totally interesting ex- perience.” There are certain types of classes, however, that stir a quea- sy feeling in even the most dedi- cated students. Nevertheless, we all must endure them in order to look forward to a challenging fu- ture. So, get used to those late nights and know that you're work- ing toward success! By Tanya Pine.
