Outerspace 5 Opening 23 Activities • Who knows what tomorrow will bring, or what lies on our horizons. Each day brings us closer and closer to that great void beyond our hemisphere — closer to the stars, the planets, and deeper and deeper into that unknown blackness — outer space. Each day in school, we delve into a different type of blackness; and in learning, we attempt to understand that darkness. Sometimes we might find the edge of the dark side too close and we seem to be losing grip on ourselves. In order to reestablish our course and continue our journey we must find our home planet and head straight for it unceasingly. 133 Elementary 195 Advertisements Brother Michael Corry, warm, compassionate, and caring, makes his presence felt aroun the school. His kindness touches all those who come in contact with him. New students. Junior and Senior High, often meet him first and gain a favorable impression of St. John ' s. One can often find Brother Michael socializing and talking with the students discussing new ideas as well as old. His empathy is felt everywhere and St. John ' s would seem empty without him. Sejour 1984 is proudly dedicated to Brother Michael Corry. ♦ Hi. nfl Sl ' v •-, 1! V-, - At.- lkiU The Class of ' 84 ri hi 1 V • t . I W ,;- M _,; i« PS m «« Miss Linda Hahus Miss Hahus, completing her third year in the High School Library, provi des in- valuable help to many students. Her in- finite patience and vast knowledge of the library aid everyone, including the teachers. In addition to these qualities, everyone benefits from her library orientations. Mrs. Connie Shull A smiling new addition to St. John ' s, Mrs. Shull fulfills a great need voiced by many students. As the typing teacher her knowledge and skill are greatly ap- preciated by the administration as well as the student body. Mr. Patrick Tobin After a year ' s sabbatical Mr. Tobin returns to St. John ' s. Much to the sur- prise of many students, he now teaches in the High School. This multifaceted man teaches English, Religion and History with a touch of charisma and a soft Irish brogue. Brother Branan Gary Brother Branan Gary, or Brother as students affectionately call him, seems to love travelling with students. Since his return. Brother Branan has led trips to Russia and Egypt and everyone anxiously awaits more trips in the future. Mrs. Judith Debctcncourt Although she has been with St. John ' s for a long time, Mrs. Debetencourt always has fresh, new, innovative ideas. A warm, wonderful person, she cares deeply for her students and in return they respect and care for her. Mrs. Pauline Wood Always on the run, Mrs. Wood is a very busy lady. She teaches Religion, British and European History and is the head of Model UN. Consequently, St. John ' s would be at a loss without her. Miss Paula Heinen The computer wonder of St. John ' s, Miss Heinen helps many students survive in this computer-controlled world. Well- liked and respected, she shares her vast knowledge of Math to most students at St. John ' s. Mr. Luis Dias New to our Mathematics Department, Mr. Dias uses his powerful personality to accompany his teaching. His great dedication helps transmit clearly the theorems of Geometry, Algebra and Trigonometry. Mrs. Marshall Seymour Mrs. Seymour joins St. John ' s from Bohn. She teaches Junior High Art, and in addi- tion to these talents, she advises the year- book staff when problems arise. Miss Laura La Mantia Miss La Mantia ' s Biology room, alwayS filled with flowers, plants, and other signs of nature, tends to be one of the brightest rooms of the school. Her personality, equally bright, makes learning Biology a lot of fun. Miss Janet Williams A four year veteran. Miss Williams once again is found teaching all levels of Chemistry. Always lending a helping hand if needed, she is often seen aiding her students and those in need of assistance. k::s £ SL Mr. Brian Phelan A newcomer to St. John ' s, Mr. Phelan is a welcome addition. He fills a spot great- ly needed by the students and fills it well. His natural confidence and warmth are an asset to his Mathematics teaching. Mr. Marc Vansteenbeeck A recent addition to the teaching staff, Mr. Vansteenbeeck teaches Physical Education and coaches several sports. Last year, often seen as a substitute and one of the coaches, he is now a perma- nent part of St. John ' s. Welcome! Mme. Colette Puvrez Teaching children pleases Mme. Puvrez greatly and her flashing smile gives evidence of her content. Through well- disciplined, yet fun classes, she teaches French and makes it enjoyable to learn. Frau Irene Williams Frau Williams ' German classes are always contented. A firm believer in Gummi Bears and elaborate parties, Frau Williams persuades everyone to par- ticipate, and as a results, her students love her. Mrs. Elizabeth Stephan A talented actress, Mrs. Stephan not only teaches English, but organizes and presents several theatrical performances. Her vibrant, English personality can easi- ly brighten the darkest Belgian day. Miss Linda Reinhart A tough coach and gym teacher but a super nice lady. Miss Reinhart has taught and coached many a winning team. Her drive and determination affect all those around her, making her many friends within the student body. Mme. Marie-Claire De Cock Always elegantly attired, Mme De Cock constantly keeps her students working. She transmitts her great enthusiasm to all her students, producing an enjoyable French class. Mr. Stephen Bartlett Active and dependable, Mr. Bartlett is a vital part of life at St. John ' s. When not teaching one of his History classes, he is busily arranging IB schedules or one of the many school trips. Although Mr. Bartlett is busy, he always has time for a few words with the students. Br. Michael Corry. FSC An important part In the structure of St. John ' s, Brother Michael shoulders many responsibilities. Although his schedule is heavy, he can often be found laughing and talking to the students, getting to know them better. Mrs. Clare Chais An invaluable asset to St. John ' s, Mrs. Chais remains one of the key people in the running and organizing of the High School. Although rarely seen, her con- tribution to the smooth functioning of the school is enormous. Mr. Jack Shull The new High School Guidance Counselor comes to us from Starvanger, Norway. Always willing to listen to any type of problem, he readily offers warm, friendly advice. Mr. Roger Moran Mr. Moran, a vital part of St. John ' s, teaches Math and Physics, runs the Boys ' Residence and takes his role of Dean of Students very seriously. Yet even that ti- tle cannot mask his caring, amusing per- sonality nor his giant heart. Mrs. Nina Timar Mrs. Timar can be seen either with her French class, or working hard in her of- fice of Student Services. Wherever she may be, people find her helpful and a good listener. 19 Mr. Paul Stachowiak Often seen patrolling B-Level armed with a squirt gun or telling jokes, Mr. Stack is also a serious teacher of Religion. He accepts the responsibility of the Girls ' Residence. 44 ' Mme. Marleen De Bauw As the head of the French department and proprietor of the book store, Mme. De Bauw helps the students with many problems, including linguistic ones. Speaking three lan guages fluently, she provides stimulating conversation for all. Mrs. Carole Le Due Give Mrs. Le Due an entire Junior High class and she can perform miracles. This Junior High music teacher, through her infinite patience and knowledge, presents some of the best musicals St. John ' s has ever seen. The amazing part: She does it every year. Mrs. Cathrine Gist Mrs. Gist not only teaches Junior High Physics, but also has time to enjoy a dance or two. If anyone has a problem, Mrs. Gist is always happy to help and willing to talk. Mme. Francoise Peres Her English charmingly broken by French interjections, Mme. Peres is always a fun teacher to have. Her winning smile and kind firmness win her the respect and friendship of her students. Mrs. Nancy Henry Without Mrs. Henry, many people would not be as fluent in English as they are. She not only teaches extra English but is a great listener and super person. Miss Christine Waggoner Miss Waggoner, a Social Studies teacher and Junior High Coordinator, is always busy. Besides organizing her famous meals for classes, we really do not know what we would do without her. Mr. Eldon Kennedy Mr. Kennedy, a busy teacher, fulfills many student needs. He not only teaches English, but also Drama, Creative Writing, and Theory of Knowledge. Students especially enjoy his classes because of his outgoing personality. Mr. Jacques Van Heyningen Mr. Van Heyningen, a Science teacher here for the past two years, has many more talents he willingly uses to help or entertain the students. Mrs. Setsuko Lloyd Mrs. Lloyd comes to St. John ' s because of the great demand for Computer and Algebra classes. The whole school en- thusiastically welcomes this new asset to St. John ' s. Mrs. Sharon Kennedy St. John ' s welcomes back Mrs. Kennedy, an English teacher, for her second year of teaching. Her delightful personality is en- joyed by all. Mrs. Rita Greene Mrs. Greene, the High School Art teacher, always has a creative outlook to things. Her indispensibie help in extra- curricular activities never goes without notice. She also aids the Senior class in many areas. Blithe Spirit The cast consists of: Heidi Bray, Rhodante Ahlers, Rob Clingan, Annika Kentopp, Polly Maier, Don Mullikin, Maureen Cameron.

Although the girls had to battle the cold, rain, sleet and endure rigorous training, they all survived and the results were pleasing. iiB iiii Ti 109 Bad Luck Strikes Strong on individual talent, the boys ' baseball team worked strenuously to develop their hidden skills. After many difficult practices, they had to face highly competitive opponents The resulting games were close. ■ K, L ,, J„j,i . a, ' Tennis — An Upperhand on Love Although tennis is an individual sport, the St. John ' s tennis team as a whole contributed to a highly successful year. Com- pared to the previous year ' s record, St. John ' s made a huge leap in wins and the quality of the tennis played was vastly superior. ■m . fl«—i« H iMb i M.««M .. Running Wild and Free Getting into shape or running for the sheer joy of it are the main reasons for running cross country. Through the damp and cold our runners continued to give their best and their times and scores during meets proved this. The team ran a very successful year, one of the best St. John ' s has ever had. L Bump, Duck walks, laps around the soccer field, and jumping rope aided in strengthening the volleyball teams ' mental and physical condition. Through superb coaching and the combined efforts of the players, al teams performed very well, and many new friends were made. «Uioi '  l Hb ' B- . - Competitive, yet fun, the track team attracted many budding young runners and track stars. Punishing and grueling runs against the clock proved the superiority of our track team and they emerged the victors in a great many of their meets. 118 Only Constant Practice Produces Winners The multi-talented players on this year ' s team contributed to a successful year. Although the team did not shine — with out- standing scores and wins, they did have a winning, positive attitude game after game. This is very important in competitive sports. In a small school team spirit and cooperation are needed, and St. John ' s possesses both qualities. By working together and putting aside all differences, the St. John ' s basketball teams rose to the top, and with hard work, stayed there. j; SajUg mK2 i .h yf Bj - ' p- ' V sy . .4 H Vmm -x. rJ , i M iBB r f T ' j V VARSITY GIRLS — From L to R: Nicki Zomnir, Christine Dorson-King, Robin Wawack, Bonnie Powell, Emily Campbell, Coach Linda Rhinehart, Britta Baicr, Wende Zomnir, Tara Thiessen.

The Upper Section went to Bruxelles in October. We split into groups and went around the Grand Place and Mcnnekin Pis and answered questions. We had lunch around 12:00.

THE HORIZON ACCOUDT Thebest investment for 16 to 21-year-olds The Horizon Account. It really is the ultimate. It ' s one more 5-year deposits (minimum BF 5,000 per instalment, maximum BF 500,000 total investment) at very high interest rates indeed If you ' re already thinking about your plans for the future - studying, getting a job, a place to live, the journey of a lifetime or a major project - you ' ll find the Horizon Account difficult to beat. Well worth having a word with your parents about it, in fact. Horizon Account interest rates are like all rates they ' re liable to change at any time. But if you want to be certain down to the nearest franc, call in at any BBL branch and they ' ll work it out for you exactly . The Horizon Account is seriously worth thinking about once you ' ve got BF 5,000 to spare and a long-term project in mind. Because it pays very high interest, and if you want, you can withdraw your money before the five years are up. With less interest, of course, but just try to find anything as good elsewhere. If you ' re already working, you can open your Horizon Account by yourself as soon as you ' re 16. If you ' re still studying : - once you ' re 18 you can sign on your own ; - between 16 an 18 years you need to get permission from one of your parents. Bear in mind, though, that if you ' ve already got a BBL current account you can open a Horizon Account by yourself at any age You can pay money into your Horizon Account - as a once-off deposit or in any number of instalments - from the time you ' re 16 until the day before your 21st birthday. AND IF YOU ' RE ALREADY THINKING OF SETTING UP HOUSE , , When you buy a house or flat, come and see us about a mortgage loan. If you ' ve already invested money on Horizon Account we ' ll grant you a large reduction. For instance : BF 50,000 invested for 5 years on Horizon Account - whether in one lump sum or any number of instalments - saves you around BF 300,000 in repayments on a BF 1,500,000 mortgage loan (based on rates In force on 17.1.83). BBL takes care of you ... Congratulations to the Seniors of 1984 McDERMOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.

While most people are concerned about the effects of civilisation on the animals, birds and plantlife which share planet earth with us, it is a sadly human reaction to shrug and say what can I do? The truth is that we can all help and a contribution, however small, to organizations like the World Wildlife Fund is one easy way. Many small contributions add up to the larger amounts needed by the WWF to study and protect the world ' s wildlife and to educate and motivate people to join the fight against extinction. This is why ITT is supporting the admirable work of the World Wildlife Fund whose projects are by no means limited to more distant parts of the world. Much of their work is right here in Europe and the people of ITT ask you to join them in supporting the battle to protect tomorrow ' s Europe for tomorrow ' s Europeans.
