F acing the facts Studying at a desk without a television or a radio on, studying in the dining room under a parent’s watchful eye or at the library in silence are ways and places students should study. However, with busy social and work schedules, many SJND students have to study where and when they can. And they have found themselves in some very unusual study situations. Sophomore Lisa Johnson said, “I did homework once sitting on the roof of my house, sunbathing at the same time.” “Sitting on the hood of my car while waiting for a friend,” Senior Janell Brown remembers as the most unusual place she studied this year. Junor Michele Spane remembers, “I had to study alge- bra in the car on the way to Lake Tahoe once. My dad said I better know it by the time we got there!” “T studied while listening to the radio, hanging out my window watching the guys go by,” said Freshman Michelle Thomas. With many students working at night and on weekends, homework often has to be fit in at odd moments. Senior Philip Cruce explained, “I’ve often done homework while at work at Croll’s Pizza.” And Senior Quaker Winget said, “When I’m pushed I did my homework in break room at Safeway,” Holidays may not be the ideal time to study, but for some Pilots it was necessary. “I wrote a composition for English on a plane going to New York,” said Senior Percival Mo- lina. And Senior Todd Mosley said his most unusual study spot was... “the library”! Wherever they were and whatever the occasion, SJND students knew how to use their time well. They may not have chosen the most ideal ways and places to study, but they did study! Junior Todd Rabbach relaxes in the bath tub while studying for a test.

Bye CAL HI ESAL St. Joseph Notre Dame was part of the new East Shore Athletic League (ESAL) this year. SJND continued to compete against many schools from the CAL, Bishop O’Dowd, St. Mary’s, Salesian, St. Eliz- abeth, Holy Names and Presentation. This elite group was joined by three public schools, Encinal, Albany and Piedmont. “It was challenging this first year because we got to play teams we never did before,” said Senior Rico Lyles. GOhe Chronicle Close-Up another success The White House, Capitol Hill, the Smithsonian, Georgetown— places in the news. From Novy. 30 to Dec. 6, 1986, seven SJND stu- dents got a CLOSE-UP view of these places and others in Wash- ington D.C. The trip included seminars, de- bates and workshops on topics from international relations to censorship to colonial court cases. The hundreds of students from all over the United States were giv- en extensive tours of everything from government buildings, me- morials and monuments to colo- nial Williamsburg, Virginia. Junior John Molinari ex- plained his view, “Close-Up was a great experience in understanding the functions of the branches of our government. Of course, tear- ing our hotel room apart after bed check was fun, too!” Participant Angie Fong, Sen- ior, added, “It was a good exper- ience because we met a lot of new people with funny accents and learned about our government.” Then she added with a smile, “But the best part was the week’s vaca- tion from school!” ¥ HAN ' = eet AY = “a The Close-Up group: Chantelle Thomas, Mr. Phil Gravem, Ginna Baldassarre, Angie Fong, Paula Marcheschi, John Molinari, Linda Quittman and Anne Cronin.
