Why do you enjoy teaching at Saint Monica’s? The kids. Margie Macias Students are interesting, teach- able (tor the most part), and honest about their feelings. Dan Escalera I like the broad backgrounds of our student body.” Joann Caratozolo “I could go on and on—I love the kids—I love their spirit, their friend- liness. I enjoy the ‘mixture', and variety of students; I enjoy working with the faculty, the administration. I like their dedication, their concern for the students, and for one an- other. In a word—it's a great place to be! Sister Rose Leonard We are generally out of the smog zone. Rich Gabatino Some of the students have de- veloped trememdous personalities, relationships, and self-discipline. I have talked to students about their home lives, dating situations, and other personal ideas. I have used many of the suggestions and com- ments. This is not a generation of shallow-thinking, naive kids. There is a lot of wisdom here. The stu- dents at SMHS seem to be ex- ceptionally level headed. Matt Giacalone
