Each division united to paint decorations, to practice skits, and to organize stunts. On Monday the gym exploded with the cheers, chants and general mayhem created by 600 proud students, who were all certain that their class deserved first place. The last day finally arrived and the hoarse-throated cheers reached a climax; the judges had decided- THE SENIORS WON!! Excitement Roars When El Rancho Hits - . “ y f [ 3 Soa ” 2 ‘ 4 4 : 1: oy e Dads and Daughters Unite! On the evening of November 22, slightly pushed fathers (,7 and their slightly pushing daughters arrived at the St. Joseph Basilica for the annual Father Daughter Mass. Upon entering the church the young ladies proudly fastened carnation boutonnieres onto their blushing escorts, and then sat down to the Mass offered by Father Gracias. After the service the daughters and the dads strolled to the hall for dessert provided by the mothers, and entertainment by the ND choir and ND students. Unlike summers for most students, the Summer of ‘77, carried over into fall with the many extracurricular activities at SJND. The year began with the Freshman Welcome Dance, an ice cream eating contest, and a lunch hour chance to bob for apples. Disappointment descended onto the student body as the planned Halloween Dance was cancelled due to a blackout; it was dispelled, however, with the scheduling of another dance to celebrate Spirit Week. Other activities included the Father Daughter Mass, a presentation by Ms. Vlahos’ Drama Club, a Pizza Night, and a car rally. All in all it was a very full year for the students at this high school. Just For Fun Break in the Action After the stress and strain of first semester : a exams, there came the joyful relief of Mini Week. 7) With such courses as bowling, shocking movies, jy, ae OOM tennis and tours of San Francisco the students of oy = and the teachers relaxed while enjoying the week =) ; long break from school routine. From January 23 thru the 27th, mini courses provided all the excitement that any teacher or student could ever need. inds Opened M u) at O -) os oO ® Y) O = O Watch out, Washington This year 35 enthusiastic students had an opportunity to advance their schooling 3,000 miles away, thanks to the Close- up program, an organization designed to give high school students a closer look at their government. During Mini-Week the future politicians spent an intense 7 days studying the problems facing our nation. Differing viewpoints provided many heated discussions as moderators Mr. Weiss and Miss Brady fought to restrain any outbreak of violence. This trip was hardly all fun and games as the participants worked on various projects directed at raising money for those who could not afford the rather expensive adventure. Through the entire process students and moderators worked toward a common goal-an experience to be remembered. After two years of skiers without snow, the Alpine Club was finally blessed with excellent skiing conditions. The snow fell early, providing a paradise for the avid skier. Although the skiing was an important aspect of this recreational club; the alpine members were interested in bicycle and horseback riding, hiking trips to the mountains, and in general any activity which would take them into the great outdoors.

Hard work brought the open dance policy, co-ed lunch, and lunchtime activities which responded to the likes and interests voiced by the individual. In this way the class officers insured that Student Council served the students to the best of their ability. Who gave up their weekends for an extra day at school? Who spent their nights struggling with a deadline which was creeping ever closer? Who could be found snapping pictures at the unsuspecting students? The yearbook staff, that’s who. Under the moderation of Sr. Phyllis, the guidance of Mr. Don Freeman, and the gallant leadership of co-editors Monica McGowan and Claire Splan, this year’s creative staff assembled a collection of memories and faces of the past year. 96 The Unseen Force a “Za al , nw 4 4 : F: Jen _ 7. ?

As every Senior well knows, the best part of Senior year is being a Senior. And the Seniors of ‘78, with their usual vim and vigor, were active in the fullest sense of the word.

Together or individually, the class of 1978 strove for the highest in accomplishments. Spike, Shoot, Sprint and Swing The members of the Girl's Athletic Association this year were working hard, going strong, and much more than just athletes.

The Fashion Show displayed the latest fashions, created and modeled by the students of Mrs. Hanna’s sewing classes. The Mother- Daughter Mass provided an opportunity for moms and daughters to come together to participate in Mass offered by Monsignor Wagner and to enjoy refreshments and entertainment afterwards. Both activities were, as usual, outstanding successes. E S = cI a E Celebration of the Arts 28S ae TET — The Arts were widely explored this year, especially at Shakespeare Day and the Art Show. Shakespeare Day inspired and directed by Sr Catherine Theresa, celebrated William Shakespeare’s 414th birthday with the presentation of skits and soliloquies, among other festivities. The Art Show, presented by the art classes under the guidance of Ms. Wesolek, was a fascinating exhibition of the works of students alumnae, and teacher. Both activities were creative displays of the talent and enthusiasm the students had discovered in their exciting studies of the arts. Accepting the Award... On the night of May 13th, St. Joseph’s and Notre Dame high schools united to honor those faculty members and students who had earned distinction during the year. Awards from every facet of school life were presented as the onlookers united in joy for each recipient. y+ oo The New and the Old 7 Two activities, one a tradition and the other a welcome innovation, announced the arrival of spring. The Julie Day festival celebrated the patron saint of the Notre Dame order; the school picnic celebrated the dream of the school year’s end and summer vacation. Each, in their separate ways, released the students from the cares of the work load and swept them joyously into spring. Falcons on the Field The Falcon Softball team, under the direction of Mr. Paul Phelps, started the season with high hopes and higher Spirits. Starting slowly, the team finished strong with a 6-6 record, barely missing a playoff spot in the highly competitive C.A.L. softball league. Melody and Melodrama Entertainment was never lacking as the choir, under the Reeves, and direction of Mrs under the the drama class guidance of Miss Vlahos spellbound audiences wherever they performed. Always in perfect harmony, both clubs earned much acclaim On the evening of May 26, students gathered noisily in ND hall to receive their own personalized copies of the 1977-78 Reflections. With music blaring in the background, yearbooks were passed back and forth as signatures and clever captions covered the pages. Comments about the amazing yearbook echoed off the wall, as most students were flabergasted at its ingenuity. Smiles and Signatures A Fantasy Always and Forever oe | Springtime meant Prom time as April saw the Soph Hop and May saw the Junior-Senior Ball. The Sophomores worked diligently, personally adding last minute touches; while the Juniors and Seniors let the Sheraton at the Wharf do the worrying. Though different styles, both dances proved to be successful and the evenings were enjoyed by all. Closed Books and Last Looks With finals over and lockers emptied, the Seniors prepared to say their good-byes, collect their diplomas, and mo ve on. The ceremonies began with Class Day with the reading of the wills and prophecies, the presentation of awards, and the showing of the Senior Movie. Next came the Baccalaureate Mass, followed by a reception in the gym with family and friends, faculty and fellow-graduates The next day brought the long- awaited event— the graduation ceremony. The Commencement Exercises opened with the Salutatorian Address by Monica McGowan and the Commencement Speech by Father Hecht. Diplomas were handed out and the Valedictorian Speech was given by Greg Veasy. Then the proud anc happy graduates marched out to the tune of “‘Pomp and Circumstance”’ ready to face the world outside St. Joseph’s and Notre Dame. After nine years at St. Joseph’s Notre Dame, Sr. Dorothy Marie Chambers retired from the administrative and teaching areas of this school. Sr. Dorothy entered SUND as the librarian and Latin teacher; she left in 1978 as the school’s principal. On May 22 in the ND hall, parents, teachers, alumnae, and students celebrated those years of dedication. Several students and co-workers praised the hours of work Sr. Dorothy spent here. Although only a few spoke, all present thanked and blessed that person who contributed so much to their lives and learning. A Fond Farewell
