Table of Contents 3 St. Stanislaus College On January 5, 1854, an educational environment was established on the Gulf Coast. This environment came to be known as Saint Stanislaus College. The concepts and programs of Saint Stanislaus have been successfully time tested for over 130 years. Through this accu¬ mulated experience there has emerged a basic phi¬ losophy — to motivate a student towards a goal of maturity, through a structured, learning environment and to provide the facilities necessary to ensure in¬ tellectual development. There are many factors which contribute to the full development of a student here at St. Stanislaus. These factors include athletics, academics, spirituality, and or¬ ganizations. All of these things contribute to making a well rounded individual. Athletics play an important part in that they promote teamwork and an appreciation for healthy living. There are sports available to students on a varsity, junior varsity, junior high and intramural level. Playing a major role in the development of the ideal student are the leadership qualities that a student attains through ath¬ letics. 4 Theme ■ OPPOSITE PAGE TOP: Students gather around the welcom¬ ing face of Brother Paul Montero, Principal of St. Stanislaus.

Theme 5 The Academic program provided here helps the stu¬ dent to achieve the maximum of his potential. The cur¬ riculum is college preparatory in nature and is designed to permit the student to participate in required and elective courses that are within his range of ability and interest. The development of spiritual and moral values is very important here at St. Stanislaus. Spiritual needs are met through the teaching of religion, participation in student masses, and involvement in church-related and com¬ munity service activities. Boarding here is important also, for it teaches the individual to use his time wisely and fosters friendly relationships. Boarders experience the give and take of “family life” by sharing quarters with members of their age group. Students can take part in dances, fishing rodeos, skating, skateboard and pool tour¬ naments and other leisure activities. St. Stanislaus offers many organizations and activities including Student Council, Key Club, Prep Quiz Bowl, and others. These organizations provide an opportunity for students to develop their interests and discover their natural talents. The philosophy of this school has successfully taken students and offered to them the best opportunities of any educational institution on the Gulf Coast.

B • B_ FEATURES The Marching Band strikes up a Panama City, Florida. Features 17 The 1987-’88 band program began fresh under the new direction of Mrs. Catchie Choina. Band started early with band camp a week before the first day of the new school year. During this time, the band started preparing for the coming marching season. Throughout the football season the band per¬ formed during the half times, providing a superb show filled with pride. Along with appearing at half time, the band gave a lot of support at pep rallies and games, cheering the football team in their win¬ ning season. After football season ended, the band began their preparations for their appearance in Tylertown, Mis¬ sissippi, at their annual contest. This contest earned the band superior ratings. After Tylertown, the band then started getting ready for parade season. This year’s band marched in the 1st annual Han¬ cock County Christmas parade as well as Mereids Parade, The Veterans’ Day Parade and the Waveland Civics Association’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade, in which the band received 2nd Place. After parade season, the concert band began preparation for the annual spring concert as well as competition in Panama City, Florida. This year’s band council was comprised of: Jim¬ my Benigno, Drum Major; Danny Berry, President; Lori Heavey, Vice President; Wendy Joseph, Sec¬ retary; Josef Overal, Treasurer; Howard Norris, His¬ torian; Michael Pickich, Chaplain. 18 Band 91 OPPOSITE PAGE TOP: The 1987-’88 band officers from left to right, Joseph Overal, Lori Heavey, Wendy Joseph, Michael Pickich, Danny Berry, Howard Norris, James Benigno.

Band 19 Barbershop Quartet “Hit a C.”, chimes Brother Pierre as the stu¬ dent quartet prepares to sing. The lead, Frank Burdette, starts the harmonic with a C, followed by the bass Ian Alcalen; the baritone, David Bast; and the tenor, Matt Heitzmann. They pause and start into “My Wild Irish Rose . . Barbershop Quartets are a rich tradition which involve four singers, a pitch, and of course, a song. The harmonic chords blend together until they ring as a clear sound to the ear. The lead carries the melody, which is harmonized by the bass. The tenor tops off the two while the bari¬ tone pulls it all together with a sound all his own. Great songs, like “Coney Island Baby,” “After Dark,” and “Honey” echo back to the times of Sunday strolls in small town America. This year’s Quartet sang at the annual SSC Christmas Program. The four singers also spent school hours and weekends singing at the homes of shut-ins, at nursing homes, at children’s day care centers, and at the local VFW. The members of the Barbershop Quartet really feel that their work is a service to others as well as an art. It serves as a positive link, as do other scholastic organizations, between St. Stanislaus and the community. 20 Barbershop Quartet Radio Club H|W The SSC Radio Club was very good this year. The Administrator was Brother Eduardo, who has been in Ham Radio for over ten years. The Radio Club has been going to Ham fests, which are loads of fun! One can get a good bargain on almost anything electrical! We also went to a couple of local meetings put on by the Gulfport Radio Club. In addition to our many adventures, we worked at all of our home basketball games to help pay for two radios which the club recently acquired. We also worked at most of our home baseball games to gain funds to purchase an additional and much larger radio. Club members also had the opportunity to utilize their radio skills at this year’s 5K race. Managing such an event would have been difficult without the club’s help. The radio club challenges one to seek out his inner technical potential and to put it to good use. On behalf of all the Radio Club, 1 would like to thank Brother Eduardo for all of the patience, skill, and fun that he has pro¬ vided for us throughout the year. Radio Club 21 Scouts pose for group picture during the Smokey Mountain summer trip. Boy Scouts is an organization where boys can join and learn responsibility, leadership, and teamwork while having fun. Troop 86 is made up of boarders and day students from the surround¬ ing area. The troop tries to go camping or on a day outing once a month. V-Bar, Flint Creek, and an overnight canoe trip are just a few things the troop has done this year. The troop has a Leaders Council. This Council consists of Brother Timothy, Scoutmaster; Mr. Bob Evans, Assistant Scoutmaster; Chuck John¬ son, Senior Patrol Leader; and Michael Bingham, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. This makes up just part of the structure of the Leaders Council. We also have a Leadership Corp. which is made up of the older scouts. The Corp. is used as an example for the younger members of the or¬ ganization. The Troop also goes on a couple of summer trips. The troop either goes to the Smokey Moun¬ tains or Disneyland. The troop also attends Boy Scout Camp in Pearlington, MS. At camp, scouts work on Merit Badges they need for their next rank. Scout camp lasts one week. The Troop meets on Wednesday night at 7:30 in the Brother Peter Memorial Gym Lobby. Boy Scouts OPPOSITE PAGE BOTTOM: Adults attending this year’s Smokey Mountain trip were from left to right, Bro.

BACK ROW: Michael Casano, Ian A lcalen, Joe Lee, Joe Sellers, Jean Larroux, Brent Dantin, Chris Schmidt. The Cheerleading Squad, under the leadership of Jean Larroux and Jessica Deffes, was well prepared and very eager for the first football game. The squad was young with only four veterans returning from last year: Jean, Chris, Leigh, and Jessica. Early in the year partners were formed to perform stunts together. During the last two games of the season, Michael Casano courageously filled in for Mr. Rockachaw Brent Dantin, who was injured in a car accident. Brother Aquin has been quoted as saying, “This year’s squad was 10-0, out cheering all of our op ponents.” The year had many highlights, but there were 3 that stood out the most. The first was the football team’s victory over Bay High in which fans, led by energetic cheerleaders, cheered until the final buzzer. The sec¬ ond highlight was during homecoming when one of our own cheerleaders, Jessica, was honored Homecoming Queen. The last major highlight was being honored at the football banquet for our loyalty, dedication, and hard work throughout the season. Later during the year we received lettermen jackets from the athletic department. This was the first time in the history of SSC to honor Cheerleaders with jackets. To sum up the year, the cheerleaders had boosted school spirit, supported the football team and had an all-round fantastic time doing it. 24 Cheerleaders OPPOSITE PAGE BOTTOM: Jessica Deffes and Joe Sellers show their stuff for the crowd at a Rock-a-Chaw football game.

Cheerleaders 25 Computer Club v « Mr. Franklin, the Computer Club Moderator, David Brock, Charlie Hillyer, Wedon Brown, Keith Harrigan and friends visited NSTL’s Computer Center during one of this year’s field trips. The Computer Club continued to progress this year with excellent participation and fresh leadership from unexpected sources. By year’s end, membership had blossomed to exceed forty members. The reason for this computer enthusiasm may be discerned by cat¬ aloguing the second year of activity. “1 was not surprised to see this much enthusiasm,” said Alex Helwig, the 1988 Club President. “The fac¬ ulty, administration, and most importantly, our club members have maintained eager support by asserting keen interest in all club functions. They assuredly will continue to do so, resulting in the club’s further growth.” The club moderator, Mr. Franklin, who is thrilled with this year, has the following to say about the 1987- 1988 season: ‘‘This second year of existence found the SSC Com¬ puter Club expanding its activities through guest lec¬ tures; more in vivo field experiences; displays during parent-teacher conferences; group investigation of new varied programs; and successful fund-raising ef¬ forts. Next year, with greater emphasis on internal student leadership, we hope to accomplish more in the realm of school and community service. To further this goal, membership will be limited to twenty; ergo, each member should experience greater personal involve¬ ment in eac h of our projects and meetings.” 26 Computer Club - s OPPOSITE PAGE BOTTOM: Officers for this year’s Computer Club are Chris Arcement and Ben Schapens.

Computer Club 27 Drama _ Once again the Drama Club did another fine job in putting together their spring production. This year’s play was a farce in three acts. “An Apple for Eve” gave its audiences a good laugh and boasted some great acting. The players were: Chris Schmidt, Jean Larroux, Danny Berry, David Bast, Shane Preatori- ous, Mike Souviac, and Jorge Ponjuan. From OLA: Kim Trowbridge, Leigh Triche, Hayden Larroux, An¬ na Dean, Nicole Montagnet, Karen Kolodziej, and Jennifer Burrows. The play is one of many small pits. Miss Dorinda Apple is an eccentric old lady who is very wealthy. She lives in Apple City, which was founded by her Grandfather. Her niece Eve is in love with the boy next door, but if she marries him she will lose $90,000. In order to get the money she must marry the last bearer of the Apple name. The person is none other than William Apple who is a country bumpkin. From one comic scene to another our characters lead us to a heartwarming ending. This year’s pro¬ duction was under the direction of faculty member Mr. Walter Damiens. “It was too much fun,’’ said Jean Larroux. “The entire cast had a very memorable time putting on the play.’’ TOP RIGHT: Sally Stewart played by Leight Triche, and Eve Langley played by Kim Trowbridge have an emotional encounter.

Drama 29 Homecoming The Rockachaws delighted a stadium full of homecoming fans as they wore down the visiting Pass Christian Pirates 27-6. This improved the team’s record to 5-4 with the team gaining over 300 yards in total offense. Tailback Yasin Shabazz scored twice, with touch¬ down runs of 30 and 17 yards. The other Rockachaw points were provided by Freddie Wirstrom, who caught a 34-yard aerial from quarterback Cedric Smith, and Jorge Ponjuan who blasted over from the one yard line in the fourth quarter. Coach Lyons indicated that he was pleased with the efforts of his entire squad, and mentioned in his post-game comments to his team the importance of ending the season on a winning note. This year’s Homecoming Queen was Jessica Def- fes, daughter of Mrs. Tricia Deffes. Jessica is a Senior Alpha Honor Roll Student at Our Lady Acad¬ emy. She is a member of the National Honor So¬ ciety, Foreign Language Club, Yearbook Staff, Span¬ ish Honor Society, Quiz Bowl Team, Math and Science Team, and S.A.D.D. In addition, she is Senior Class Secretary and Captain of the St. Stanis¬ laus Varsity Cheerleaders. Maids for this year’s Homecoming Court were Kristi Breland of Bay Senior High School, Nicole Montagnet of Our Lady Academy, Jennifer Reeves of Long Beach High School, and Stacey Standridge of Coast Episcopal High School. 30 Homecoming a — s OPPOSITE PAGE TOP: The 1987-’88 Homecoming Court.

Alumni 37 Intramurals _ Students from 9th on up showed enthusiasm and team spirit while participating in this year’s intramural program. In both Senior and Junior Divisions, com¬ petition was fast and furious. Homerooms 11C and 10A survived a tough in¬ tramural flag football season to win the Senior Division and Junior Division Championships, respectively. In the Senior Division, 11C won both rounds of play and won the overall championship with a hard-fought 26-18 decision over 12B. Leading the charge for 11B were quarterback Lloyd Nicaud and receivers Marc Matherne, Chris Breide and Bart Brooks, all of whom scored touchdowns in the championship game. In Junior Division, championship play, 10A pre¬ vailed over IOC by a score of 24-12. Quarterback Robbie Bishop threw touchdown passes to Adam Os- trowe, Chris Perrone and Greg Schruff. In Soccer, 11B took the Senior Division by storm while in the Junior Division, 10A was again triumphant over a composite team of all the other classes. 38 Intramurals m OPPOSITE PAGE TOP: Chris Kern of 10A is downed by Bill John¬ ston of IOC.

S.A.D.D. 49 Social Services . For as long as many of us can remember, Brother Canisius has been taking groups of students to many different places of social work for what is known as the St. Stanislaus Social Services Program (Project Do). This time allows us to interact with people less for¬ tunate than we are or those just in need of a friend. Some groups go to Bay Catholic Elementary where they are able to be a helping hand to the children. Both the children and the Project Do’ers look forward to their visits with each other even though the time span is not long enough. Other groups will stop up at the Hotel Reed Nursing Home, where the elderly are always ready to “entertain’ their guests. Whether it be a game of cards, a walk around the block, or just a nice little chat, both the elderly and their friends enjoy each other’s company. Other groups go to the Child Development Center or the Methodist Children’s Center. The Social Services Program in its many parts, wheth¬ er it be with the young or old, helps a volunteer grow as a Christian and put the Christian values into practice. These practices are especially helpful to the Seniors, who, as it being their last year of high school, need this practice to help them through their life ahead.

Response by the student body to the many activities was generally good. Of particular interest was this year’s Fishing Rodeo in which students ranging from 6th thru 12th competed in a variety of categories. In April campaigning had begun for next year’s officers. By the time school ended, a newly elected council was well underway planning next year’s ac¬ tivities. President of the Student Council for the 1987-’88 term was Ya-Sin Shabazz. Other officers included Jer¬ ry Fackrell, first vice president; John Baxter, second vice president; John Endom, secretary; and Noah Den¬ son, treasurer. Organizations representatives on the Student Coun¬ cil are Band, Danny Berry; Boy Scouts, Ross Bonura; Cheerleaders, Jean Larroux; Prep Quiz Bowl, Eric Hill; and Yearbook, Sandy Sarpy. Class officers from every grade level (6th-12th) were invited to participate in the Council’s weekly meetings. The Student Council was again under the super¬ vision of Mr. Bill Jennings. ■ OPPOSITE PAGE TOP: Secretary John Endom weighs in a fish at the fishing rodeo.

Thus, the end result of religious education at St. Stanislaus is to enable students to integrate their faith with their daily living. Therefore, opportunities are provided that allow for students to express themselves in a spiritual manner. A religion curriculum, a Social Service Program and Student Masses are all el¬ ements of the religion program. Once again, students volunteered their special talents, time, and effort to make this year’s stu¬ dent masses successful. Under the shared lead¬ ership of Mr. Tom Ackerman, and Mr. Tom Eldringhoff, students met on their free time to help choose songs and readings and to arrange the individual masses. Complete homerooms vol¬ unteered their services — choosing a theme and having individuals within the class do the read¬ ings and provide leadership. The efforts made by the student body height¬ ened the sense of unity within the school com¬ munity. The year concluded with a Mass ded¬ icated to the graduating class of 1988. 54 Student Masses Student Masses 55 OPPOSITE PAGE TOP: Several students lent their musical talents to the student masses this year.

Since then, the weight room has grown to include over 25 machines, benches, and free weights combined (some designed by Broth¬ er Bennet himself) providing one of the best equipped weightlifting facilities on the Gulf Coast. The facilities are utilized by SSC coaches for their weightlifting program. Members of this year’s club participated in the Mississippi Invitational Powerlifting Champion¬ ship. Brother Bennet, retired teacher and former President of the American Drug Free Power Lift¬ ers Association, has been working to spread the sport of weightlifting for the last 31 years. Broth¬ er Bennet has promoted weightlifting by estab¬ lishing clubs and facilities in Houma, Alexandria, Mobile, and Bay St. Louis. “Many people lack confidence, explains Broth¬ er Bennet. Through weightlifting they see im¬ provement in themselves and this helps their self image. The psychological benefits 1 see for stu¬ dents keeps me interested in the sport.” 56 Weightlifting ■bI m OPPOSITE PAGE TOP: Senior Sandy Sarpy competes in the deadlift competition at the Mississippi Invitational Weightlifting Champi¬ onship.

The National Scholastic Press Association, in rec¬ ognition of merit awarded the 1987 edition of “Reflections” the honor rating of SECOND in the National Critical Service of the National Scholastic Press As¬ sociation at the University of Minnesota. Judged on sev¬ eral criteria including copy, photography, concept, and graphic design — the Reflections ’87 edition received the following individual ratings: Copy, Good; Design, Very Good; Concept, Good; Photography Very Good. This year, the staff has attempted to maintain and improve upon last year’s effort. To do this we broadened our coverage of the school’s clubs and activities and thus added sixteen pages to the book. In addition, our Division spread has been extended to two pages in keeping with recommendation by last year’s judge and offers a more graphic and artistic style. Under the direction of Senior Editor Sandy Sarpy, this year’s edition boasts a newly incorporated Advertisement Section. This was a busy year for veteran yearbook staffers. In recognition of the first-ever National Yearbook Week, staffers arranged a display of old yearbooks in the school library as well as a display of how a yearbook is made. In addition, photographs were sold in the school mall during lunch hours. Perhaps the highlight of this year’s activities was a private tour of the local newspaper “The Sea Coast Echo.” Staffers found the field trip interesting and in¬ formative. Also this year, Editor in chief Chris Kern and Class Section Editor Cliff Ling began production of a yearbook promotional video — the first ever in the school’s history. Editors celebrated the end of the year with a pizza party held in the faculty lounge. 58 Yearbook t ? r% OPPOSITE PAGE BOTTOM: Sandy Sarpy, Senior Editor, critiques early renditions of this year’s cover design.

Brother Albert Guarino, school chaplain, was the celebrant of the mass; and he was assisted by senior fac ulty members Mike Gemelli, Brother Joseph Do¬ novan, Mr. James Thriffiley, Brother John Hot- stream, and Mrs. Dot Kersanac. The ring cer¬ emony was attended by parents and friends of the seniors and faculty members. Brother William Leimbach, master of cere¬ monies, welcomed the seniors and their guests. Brother Paul Montero distributed the rings to the seniors. He was assisted by Brother Noel Lem¬ mon, dean of students, and Dr. Michael Ryan, academic assistant principal. In a short address to the seniors, Brother Paul Montero stressed the significance of wearing the senior ring as a sym¬ bol and the importance of maintaining the rich tradition of St. Stanislaus. Following the cer¬ emony, a reception for the seniors and their guests was held in the student union on the campus.

Special Moments 63 In an effort to strengthen the spirit of unity, St. Stanislaus began a Big Brother Little Brother Program this year. The purpose of the program was to give Seniors the opportunity and chal¬ lenge of being a role model and counselor for those new 6th and 7th grade students on cam¬ pus. Gnder the direction of Mr. Ron Engel, the program officially began with a ceremony held during the first quarter in the school chapel. Seventh grader Jean Paul Stafford, in an address to those present, stressed the significance of the program and the responsibilities that must be taken by both Seniors and Little Brothers. During the brief ceremony, both Big Brothers and Little Brothers were bonded symbolically through the lighting of candles. Throughout the year, Big Brothers and Little Brothers alike kept in touch — going for walks, working on homework together, going out for pizza etc. This year’s program concluded with the Big Brother Little Brother Barbeque and field day held on one of the Seniors’ final days on campus. Response to the program was quite positive. Several Seniors enjoyed the opportunity to assert themselves as role models while the younger boys appreciated their time and concern. 64 Special Moments OPPOSITE PAGE TOP: Albert Bolian and Jeremy Ashinhurst par¬ ticipate in the “lighting of candles” ceremony.

Special Moments 65 tfunior- .Si enior P rom A great band, terrific weather, and festive dec¬ orations all combined to make this year’s Jun¬ ior Senior Prom one of the best. Couples danced, exchanged friendly conversation, or simply re¬ laxed on the deck of the Bay Waveland Yacht Club — the site of this year’s event. To make the evening memorable, several Seniors chose to squeeze all of their friends into group photo¬ graphs. Dancing was virtually non-stop with mu¬ sic ranging from Top 40 to Rock-and-Roll. Per¬ haps the highlight of this year’s prom was a “rap” performance by members of S.A.D.D. (Students Against Driving Drunk). With the night still young, many individuals went in search of more fun at post prom parties. Several Seniors chose to obtain this year’s prom favors to keep or give to their date. Several Faculty members were also on hand for the occasion — some coming dressed in the formal prom attire. This year’s prom was truly a success! 66 Special Moments OPPOSITE PAGE TOP: Leonard Kergosien and friends pose for a group photograph.

Special Moments 67 S. enior 68 Special Moments Retreat Members of the graduating class of 1988 had the opportunity this year to participate in the annual Senior Retreat. The retreat gave the Seni¬ ors the opportunity to relax, clear their heads, express personal feelings toward one another and their teachers as well as reflect upon their years at St. Stanislaus. It also gave them the chance to think about their future. There was singing, cel¬ ebration of the eucharist, silent prayer, reflection and group discussions. Time was also spent just having fun — throwing frisbees etc. Several Seni¬ ors chose to pose for photographs with their friends to remember the occasion. General at¬ titude towards the retreat was good — many seniors felt that it was a worthwhile experience. OPPOSITE PAGE TOP: Participants in this year’s Senior Retreat.

When the game was over, St. Stanislaus had their first victory over Bay High in the last seven years. The final victory gave the Rocks a 6-4 season, the first winning season the Rockachaws have had since 1983. Last year the Rockachaws were 1-9. The final contest of the season was highlighted by clean, aggressive hitting by both squads, and nobody at the game knew who the winner would be until time expired. St. Stanislaus relied on the accurate arm of quarterback Cedric Smith who had 17 comple¬ tions in 25 attempts for 272 passing yards. Smith’s favorite target was Freddie Wirstrom, who had nine receptions for 190 yards. Coach Larry Ramsey’s Rockachaw defense rose to the occasion many times during the game, led by Senior linebacker Jim Bradley and the front four composed of Craig Sweeney, Vincent Brad¬ ley, Tracey Koller, and Shane Harris. In looking back over the season Head Coach Ken Lyons stated, “We have become a good ball club. I want to compliment our assistant coaches for the fine job they have done all season. They put in a lot of long hours. And our fan support was terrific!’’ 110 Football OPPOSITE PAGE BOTTOM: Ya-Sin breaks through defenders for vital yardage.

VARSITY BASKETBALL Roundballers Place Second in District The 1987-’88 Varsity Rock-a-Chaw Basketball Team ST. STANISLAUS WON The Varsity Basketball Team had a successful season highlighted by a three game sweep of cross town rival Bay High and a 30 point victory over district competition Hancock North Central. The Rocks also swept two games from Catholic rival St. John. At season’s end the Rock’s had compiled a 15-11 won loss record and finished Sec¬ ond in District. The Rockachaws were led by senior Yasin Shabazz who received All district honors and was the defensive MVP in district B AAAA. Yasin led the team in scoring and assists, averaging 15 points a game and 5.3 assists. Also voted to the All District team were senior Joe Lee and junior Brian Alexander. Joe led the team in recoveries and steals, while Brian topped the squad in rebounds, was second in steals, and third in scoring, averaging 11 points per game. Junior Chad Mathews finished the season second in rebounds with sophomore Shannon Garrett. Shannon was also second in scoring with 12 points per game. Coach Chuck Genin completed this second consec¬ utive winning season as Head Coach. Coach Genin said that the overall performance this year was great. He believes the Rocks have a tremendous amount of junior and sophomore talent and hopes that a district cham¬ pionship is just around the corner. The members of this year’s Varsity Basketball Team were: Ya-Sin Shabazz (captain), Joe Lee, John Gross, David Bast, Andre Rollins, Brian Alexander, Chad Mathews, Shannon Garrett, and Sean Sewell. 116 Basketball IHHBI OPPOSITE PAGE TOP: Varsity Basketball Team.

Basketball 117 Little Rocks The 7th grade basketball team enjoyed great success in compiling a 5-1 win loss record. The little rocks were led by Coach Eddie Burgo who credited the basic fundamentals of rebounding, passing, dribbling, and shooting as keys to the Rocks’ success. Coach Burgo believes that the young players’ aggressiveness and eagerness to learn means great things are to come in the future of Stanis¬ laus basketball. Coach Burgo’s 8th grade team chalked up a 6-7 win loss record during their season, which gave them a great deal of tournament expe¬ rience that should be helpful in years to come. Mickey Quinlan led the little rocks in scoring and rebounding, and Kevin Behan scored the first three pointer in the history of eighth grade basketball at Stanislaus. The members of the 8th grade team were: Mickey Quinlan, Stephen Schruff, Darrin Rose, Adam Breerwood, Train Platz, Kendall Daniels, Rusty Necaise, Tate Thriffiley, Michael Lee, and Leo Hebert. In addition, several seventh graders also did well enough to lay on the eighth grade level. These players were: Bo Miller, Kevin Be¬ han, Peter Ritten, Jeff Bishop, and Evan Morris.

The Rocks finished with a 7-3 District record, second to District Cham¬ pion d’Iberville’s 8-2 worksheet. The Rocks were 10-9 overall. SSC was led by the strong pitching of sophomore Cedric Smith who ended the season with the best statistics of any pitcher on the Gulf Coast. Cedric had 98 strikeouts, a 1.29 ERA, and a 9-4 record. Offensively, the Rockachaws had six hitters who batted over .300. Soph¬ omore Greg Schruff hit .429 to lead the team, followed by Yasin Shabazz (.388), Lloyd Nicaud (.367), Cedric Smith (.350), Rocky Rhodes (.321), and Joe Lee (.308). The Rockachaws treated their fans to many exciting moments throughout the season. They defeated the Biloxi Indians, 10-3, in a very impressive contest. Biloxi went on to win the Class 5A State Championship. SSC also beat d’Iberville 4-3 in an 11 inning marathon in which the Rocks outhit the Warriors 12-5. During the course of the season the Rocks defeated Long Beach (District 5A Champion) and St. John (District 2A Champion). Fine senior leadership was a critical ingredient in the Rockachaws suc¬ cess. Catcher William Scarborough showed great defensive skills behind the plate, and his clutch hitting helped the Rocks to several victories. William was voted “Mr. Rockachaw’’ by his teammates. Sophomores Cedric Smith, Greg Schruff, and Robbie Bishop will be called on to play major roles next season, along with junior Troy Pepperman who should develop into a fine hitter. Freshman who should break into the starting lineup include Kevin Jacobi, Scott Peterson, and Robbie Bourgeois. Head Coach Mike Gemelli demanded and got the most out of his ball¬ players, and assistant coach Jerry Spell did an excellent job coaching at first base. Prospects for next year seem very bright, as District Champion d’Iberville graduates eight of their nine starters, while the Rocks had only four starters who were seniors. “The fine season we had was a tribute to the hard work and dedication of every ballplayer on our team. Everyone contributed in some way to our success and we’ll all enjoy some good memories from this year,” said Coach Gemelli. 122 Baseball OPPOSITE PAGE BOTTOM: Lloyd Nicaud did well this season on the mound.

The 1988 SSC OLA Tennis Team completed another successful year at 10-3 under Head Coach Myron Labat and Assistant Coach Pat Serret. It was a great season topped off with the first ever district tournament title in District 8 AAAA and semi-final showing at the State Tournament in both Boys’ Singles and Boys’ Doubles. Seventh grader, Manuel Gonzales had a fine year at the Boys “A” singles position finishing with an 8-4 scorecard. Terry LeBourgeois did a fine job at the “A” Mixed Dou¬ bles slot even though he played with a variety of partners. Michael Cromwell also played with a variety of partners including Marc Distefano, Myron Labat Jr., and Robert Schutt and finished with a perfect 10-0 record at the Boys’ “A” Doubles position. Pat Fellows was also a contributing member to the Varsity’s success. The “B” team enjoyed a winning season also with an impressive 8-1-1 record losing only to Ocean Springs and tying Pascagoula. Positions were mixed throughout the year with no player having a set position. “B” team members were Paul Bernadas, Manning Montagnet, Linn Montjoy, and Anthony Sperance. During the past three years under Coach Myron Labat, the Varsity Rockachaws have come through posting 31 wins while tasting defeat only 6 times.

Dorm Life 145 St. Stanislaus is a day and boarding school for boys in grades sixth through twelve. It has a ca¬ pacity enrollment of 570 students which includes 289 boarding students. The boarding environment provides many op¬ portunities for social growth. The boarders expe¬ rience the give and take of “family life” by sharing rooms with members of the same age group. Several organizations are provided to allow stu¬ dents to pursue their individual interests — student council, Key Club, Prep Quiz Bowl, Students Against Driving Drunk, Radio Club, Computer Club, Year¬ book, Band, Cheerleading, Honor Societies, Drama, and others. In addition to the many school organizations, students take part in dances, fishing rodeos, skating, skateboard and pool tournaments, and other leisure activities. St. Stanislaus seeks to strengthen the social ties among the boarders, their families and the staff. In an environment characterized by Christ and concern and friendly discipline, faculty and students get to know one another personally. By encouraging students to interact openly and cordially with the adults around them, as well as with other youths, and boarding department fulfills its responsibility for shaping well-developed and ma¬ ture “men of character.” TOP: Philip Fasullo, Dominic Rumore, Albert Nolan and friends pose for a group photo on the first day of school.

Dorm Life 147 Brother Neri’s Dorm The boarders awake in Bro. Neri’s dorm at 7:00 o’clock and go to breakfast first thing. After re¬ turning from breakfast they clean up their rooms, get allowances, and return towels. We go to school around 8:00 o’clock. After school we have in¬ tramurals which include football, basketball, base¬ ball and soccer during the summer months. In the cooler months sports are carried on in the rec¬ reation halls. These include pool, bumper pool, air hockey, foosball, and the atari or the t.v. room. Once a week the boarders are allowed to go off campus. Most of the time they go to the candy store. They like to be boarders because it develops good study habits which lead to good grades. Bro. Neri and Mr. Spotswood are in charge of the sixth and seventh grade dorm. “The group has lots of potential and they are beginning to achieve that potential” says Neri of his group of boarders. Boarders sometimes get homesick which can easily be cured by a trip to Bro. Neri or the school nurse. The best thing about boarding is that one gets to know people very well. When they go their separate ways they hope to remember their good friends that they lived with all year. “Thanks for a great year Brother Neri!” Regan Leopold V J TOP: Seventh Grader James Fox laughs when he finds a dollar in his swim suit after he had been swimming for some time.

Our dorm is under the supervision of Brother Eduardo and his assistant Coach Kenney. Both of the men are well liked by the kids in the dorm. Our life in Brother’s dorm is very fun. After school we have a variety of activities. We have a daily schedule to follow. After school we can do almost whatever we want. At 4:20 is shower time and immediately following this is study hall. After study hall comes supper which is followed by an hour of free time in the rec hall. We go to the chapel at about 8:00 pm. At the chapel announcements are given and there is some time for prayer and silent reflection. After a final study hall (which ends around 9:15) we return to the dorm to get ready for bed. At 9:45 “quiet down” is given and everyone goes to bed. On weekends, if you stay, Brother takes you to the mall on Saturday (either Edgewater in Biloxi or the Plaza in New Orleans East). Brother Eduardo really cares and listens to your prob¬ lems. Michael Bingham Clay Kenney Dorm Life 149 Brother Raymond’s Dorm As you may already know, St. Stanislaus is a boarding school and a regular day school. For those of you who don ' t know what a St. Stanislaus boarder’s Monday through Friday life is like, I have prepared a concise summary of our daily activities. At 7:00 am we wake to the sounds of a loud speaker. At 7:10 we leave for breakfast. From 7:25 to 8:00 we shower, dress for school, and have a “room check” by Brother Raymond. School starts at 8:07. At about 10:00am we have a short recess which follows first and second periods. Following third and fourth period comes lunch. The school “home stretch” begins at approx¬ imately 12:30. When school ends at 3:10, we are responsible for going back to the dorm to check in and get allowance and permissions. Until roughly 5:00 pm we are free to participate in a variety of activities. At 5:25 pm we have another room check which is followed by our first study hall. At 6:30 we eat dinner and from 7:00 until 8:00 we have free time in the rec hall. At 8:00 we enter our final study hall period which lasts until 9:00. When study hall is over, we return to the dorm to conclude our day. Some boarders do stay on the weekends. There’s the mall, the beach, and mass on Sunday. Mike Garraway 150 Dorm Life OPPOSITE PAGE TOP: Ninth Graders Jay Komdoffer and Thomas Lattie are caught by surprise by our Reflections photographer.

BELOW: Thomas Lattie and Thomas Scallon smile for the camera as they return from P.E. Brother William’s Dorm Life in Brother William’s Dorm is good if one gets to know Brother William. Though at times, life in a dormitory can get you down, I’d have to say I like it in this dorm and I’m glad I got a chance to experience Brother William as a Pre¬ fect. On weekdays it’s just routine. On weekends, it’s not as bad as you might think. You can go to malls (without paying for gas), or to dances if there is one that particular weekend. If a person says that he hates staying on weekends he either never stayed a weekend or he just gets homesick. By living in the dorm, a person learns the value of privileges. One maintains his rights and priv¬ ileges through cooperation and effort. But, if an individual does not protect his rights and priv¬ ileges (such as making calls on the dorm phone etc. .. .) — he might lose them. Brother William is strict in many ways. How¬ ever, with a little cooperation, life in the dorm can be pleasant and even fun! Dorm Life 151 Brother Joseph’s Dorm I feel that boarding here at St. Stanislaus has been one of my best experiences in my life. The friends that are made, the structured study environment, and the ma¬ turity one gains from being a boarder here — is gratifying! For a regular student, the school ends at 3:10. But the same does not hold true for the boarders. Through after school activities and living in the dorm, a strong bond grows between the boarders — a bond similar to that which you would find in a large family. One figures that he’s never alone with any pressures or problems, some¬ one will always be there to help out. Pranks are only half the fun of being a boarder. A sense of humor is a must to survive in the dorm or, at least, with your roommates. Even something often feared such as initiation can be fun! The structured study environment for a boarder is important, and Stanislaus gives a student that. Accept¬ able study periods are set up to give you the most efficient study time possible. Rewards are even given for good report cards. When you have proven yourself as a mature and responsible student, you can pick your own study period or even take some time off. You not only learn to study and work on your own, but you develop good study skills and self discipline. Some people figure that being a boarder would be a burden more than a benefit, but I disagree. I feel that growing up and maturing under the watchful eyes of Brother Joseph and the rest of the Brothers has — without a doubt — made me and my fellow students better people.

Mr. David Schommer Advisor, Reflections ' 88 Acknowledgements 183 REFLECTIONS . . . Today, we the Seniors of 1988, are gathered here for the greatest milestone of our young lives — high school graduation. However, without the presence of our loved ones who are with us today, the only significance of this event would be marking the completion of school. Over my past four years here at St. Stanislaus, 1 have evolved into a new and better person. From my classmates 1 have gained new perspectives. From my teachers 1 have gained new insights, and from my school 1 have gained new opportunities. As I look back on my four years, I see St. Stanislaus not only as a school, but as a family, as a community, and as a way of life. And the St. Stanislaus way of life is a champion s way of life . . . We vie for excellence, and we reward valiant attempts. And most importantly, we strive to help and understand our neighbors while remaining true to ourselves. Although I will soon be abandoning this family and departing this community, I hope this way of life will remain imbedded within me forever. I see graduation as an incentive to continue to strive for excellence. All of us in this class have accomplished a unique and special goal — graduation. In the future, today’s ceremony will serve as my reference point. For four long years 1 doubted the value of my efforts, but today, the doubt is removed and this ceremony will carry me for the next four or more years. When graduation was not in sight, when a test was just another grade as opposed to a final exam, and a game just another disappointment as opposed to a Bay High victory, there was always one person there for me with open arms. And when the winning returned, the awards rolled in, and graduation neared, this person demanded no glory and issued no “1 told you so ' s.” When the good times came, many more people were present for con¬ gratulatory remarks and words of advice. So this one person was inadvertently pushed to the side of the fame line, but it didn’t matter because this one person gave unconditionally. This one person was my daily life incentive. This one person encouraged me, but never made demands on me; motivated me, but never pushed me; provided for me, but never pampered me. , . i So, for all these acts, mom, I will always love you. For these gifts, mom, 1 will always love you, and for these talents, mom, I will always envy you. Thank you, for it will not be until 1 become more like you that I will reach my true potential. 1 would also like to thank my two brothers for the lessons they have taught me and the sacrifices they have made for me. Thank you Erica for your willingness to see me develop. Thanks to my family, classmates, and friends for your support. And thanks to all the teachers, relatives, coaches and friends for their presence. But most of all, thanks, God, for your blessings. Ya-Sin Shabazz, Salutatorian, Class of 1988 184 Reflections ’V
