ABOVE: The afternoon intramural games are taken very seriously. Here Brad Rutledge draws back to fire a pass. CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: Project Do offers students the oppor¬ tunity to become involved in community service projects. Sean Donnelly didn’t realize the young lady he was working with, Miss Leslie Morel, is the niece of Brother Patrick McGinty. And speaking of brotherly love, Keith Robinson and John Keller ham it up for the camera. Retreat should be a time for reflec¬ tion and meditation, so Chris Riley takes the time to put a few thoughts on paper. Chris, along with the other members of his class were on retreat at Rosaryville, Louisiana. Not knowing which way to turn, David Pitalo competes in the afternoon in¬ tramural program. Although participation was strictly volun¬ tary, over 50 % of the school was involved in the intramurals program. After that, everything seemed to settle down. No major catastrophes, no bad experiences. But the underlying feeling was one of waiting. Waiting for something to happen. And it did . . . the week of Homecoming. Another storm, this one named Juan. While Elena had spared the school pier, Juan did not. Perhaps it was weakened by the first only to be completely wiped out by Juan. And that ' s not all Juan wiped out. For the first time in recent history, the annual Homecoming Parade was cancelled due to the storm. And of course, more days of school were also gone. So the school had survived two major hur¬ ricanes. Now that all the storms were over, life could resume its normal pace. Aha! Not so quick!!

The hurricane season was not quite over. Enter Kate . . . the last hurricane of the season. Everyone watched her with keen interest. Would she hit the coast of New Orleans? Or Bay St. Louis? Or further east? Someone must have been listening to the prayers of many, for Kate turned eastward and struck Panama City, Florida. Following such a tumultuous beginning, it was a wonder anyone could possibly get his mind on school. But they did. Seniors began worrying over which college to attend, scholarship forms began circulating among the faculty, transcripts for grades sent out. The Junior National Merit Scores arrived, four very talented Juniors scored high enough to be considered National Merit Finalists. The sophomores were battling their computer literacy project. The Freshmen wondering whether they would make it through Algebra I or not. Normal everyday activities. ABOVE: Blasting out for the Bockachaw Band is Colin Schmit. Colin joined the rest of the Band in the Veteran’s Day Parade. CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: Anticipating a touchdown in after¬ noon intramurals, David Best attempts to outrun Brent Dan- tin. Outrunning his man is no problem for 28 , David Zanca. His problem was getting his hands on the ball. His attempt was magnificent, however. Equally magnificent was Ring Night. The night when the term “Senior” becomes a reality. The Seniors proudly display their new jewelry, with the exception of Chris Riley who was not a student at SSC during his junior year, when rings are ordered. One student who sparkled like a jewel on the basketball court was Yasin Shabazz, shown here laying one up. Yasin was the only Sophomore on the starting Varsity.
