I always exercise that privilege with a mixture of sadness and joy. This year is no exception. The class of 1983 is a truly great class. You are richly talented, friendly, concerned - a class that sought in every way possible to build Christian community here at St. Paul High School. A bond of the Spirit has been forged between us that I hope will never be broken. So, while saddened by your leaving, I rejoice in your future filled with promise. Now you take your talents, your friendship and your concern into the larger soci- ety of college, work, and family building to enrich and ennoble everything you touch. The world sorely needs your presence. May the Lord be ever with you. May he give strength to your arms and courage to your hearts. May His love and blessing be with you always as you do the work to which He has called you. Sincerely yours in Christ, Fr. Aidan M. Carroll Principal

Mental Photos Our final year was more than we expected. It wasn't just wearing blue socks and having our own lunch line. At times it was looking a step ahead to col- lege or a career and life Without bald heads and plaid skirts. As graduation became more of a reality, thoughts of uniforms, privileges, and our future shifted to reflections of the past four years. , We celebrated birthdays with parties, and the 1981 CIF victory with a day off. We cried when the sur- rounding pressures bore down on us, and when we lost important sports events. We laughed through homilies with Fr. Nocita, and through bomb threats with our friends. We learned about pain while Walking the last three miles of the March for Hunger, and working in the soup kitchen. We taught our little sisters how to survive at school, and our teachers how to relate to us. We fought with our parents for a later curfew, and with adminis- tration for knit shirts. We waited anxiously for that special person to ask us to a dance, and for someone to turn our ring for the 83rd time. We hoped, dreamed, and prayed. Each event drew us closer together and gave us courage to face the future. We have faith that we will remain close and keep these memories for the years to come.
