A yearbook, as defined by the 1983-84 Teresian staff, is an ENCORE of the outstanding achievements of the students and teachers at St. Teresa’s Academy. 1983-84 represents a season of excellent offerings with award winning performances in academics, drama, music, sports, and extracurricular pursuits in gen- eral. So sit back, relax, and imagine the drumroll signalling a recreation of a great year at STA and your part in it! ENCORE of a Memorable Year “All the world is a stage, and we are the players. ” This age-old cliche still rings true, here in its application to the pageant of the student life at ST A, as relived in the pages of this book. In this ENCORE presentation of our youth, the role of each student and faculty member is broadcast. What we see here are the press releases that pro- vide thumbnail sketches of what we were. How we coped with and enhanced life at St. Teresa's, gives us a cue to what we will become. ENCORE •ILAHiMA! Encore -N.

Deck- ed out in the most “in” outfits, the gals ap- peared for tryouts. Supportive friends helped to calm the nervous butterflies as all appeared be- fore the judges. ¥7 now if you’re in it? This was a continual ques- tion among all. Each day we were told, “No decision yet, maybe tomorrow.” At last the list ap- peared. Some were jubilant and some heavy-heart- ed. T earning was the tedious job for all who were involved. Directions, pitch, mood, beat, timing — these were some of the elements we dealt with. Life was not always a bowl of cherries. We encoun- tered many pits! A t last the truth must be known. The final test must be taken. Dress rehearsal — the point of no return. U armony — we’d have been a mess without it. The directors (stage, music, dance) gave a lot and took a little. They showed us what it was all about. A pening night excitement reigned. Every jaw vi- gorously chewed a wad of gum. Cues were per- fect and steps precise. The cast and crew showed they were the finest. The audience responded in agreement. T T emories — they’ll last a lifetime. When you’re 1 A part of a group working toward one goal, the happy times don’t fade easily. Tears, too, are sprin- kled in for closing night and friends we may never meet again. A pplause — applause — applause! Come take your final bow! Your efforts were not in vain. There may never be another OKLAHOMA but there will be another time. Until then — a great big “Persian goodbye!” 7 Oklahoma Helle!

Spirit Month this year, as always, roused each Tessie’s utmost class spirit. Each week was given one “big event”; Wednesdays were “out-of-uni- form” days and Tuesdays and Thursdays included a special “lunchtime-activity.” The first week found change jars in Donnelly building. The race was close between the frosh and seniors! The major event of the second week was Balloon Day, in which bal- loons were sold in class colors. The third week brought the famed Rockhurst vs. St. Teresa’s volleyball game. Although the Rock Jocks won, STA gave a good fight. The final week centered around identifying the mysterious pictures of teachers’ legs, which were posted in M A. Participation in all of these events resulted in a gain of points for each class in accordance with the money each raised for the poor. At the con- clusion of Spirit Month, a Costume Day was held, the points were tallied, and the Class of ’84 was found to possess the most spirit!

At STA we could see the signs of Christmas drawing near with the members of the choruses scurrying around preparing for the annual Christmas concert. There were dresses to be made, boxes to be decorated, and trees to be trimmed. The big night came all too soon as Sister Ellen Henkel brought the program to perfection. But due to the snowy weather conditions, the first night of the performance was canceled. Despite the bitter weather, the performance was scheduled for the second evening with each of the choruses captivating the audience with festive Christmas music. 13 Teresian ’83 Where could you come into close contact with one of the major blockbusters of the year? Where was the flashy, rousing evening for everyone who attended? TERESIAN 1983! One of the year’s best, held at the Hyatt Regency, radiated with a surge of excitement. The most awaited event of the season proved to be worthwhile with the band, FORCE OF HABIT, vibrating the room with its vast selec- tion of music. Adding to the entertainment, as well as the anticipation, Angela Bryde was crowned Teresian Queen 1983. Michelle Houston became junior attendant, and Lisa Gill’s position as sophomore attendant brought the coronation to a climactic close. The band burst into “Every Breath You Take”, the theme song of the dance, where the Queen was viewed by all as she danced with her date. What can describe 9:00-12:00 on October 22, 1983?

It is made of people who want to build a certain unity among faculty and stu- dents, deepen school spirit, and pro- vide opportunities for others to be- come involved, and of those who are happiest when working with other people. The Student Community Or- ganization is not limited to only helping the school, but it reaches out to those in the community. All the money raised during the annual Spir- it Month was given to the Sisters of St. Joseph Missions. At the mixer, “A Few Nights Before Christmas”, money and toys were collected and donated to St. Vincent Day Care Center. The WPA Dance, also spon- sored by SCO, was a wonderful suc- cess. All those who attended certain- ly received “A Kiss From the Heart.” SCO did not forget to let the faculty know how much they were appreciated. A special FAD (Faculty Appreciation Day) was given just to them. SCO officers, (back from left): Barbara Sterner, treasurer; Lisa Hale, Secretary.

Pedta Obuste Jlf(Med yieadmy Qld The One Who is Noted for: — Religious and moral character — Leadership qualities — Sense of responsibility — Loyalty to ST A — Outstanding school spirit — Service to others — Good sportsmanship — Cooperation and helpfulness — Ability to command respect is the Academy Girl. Such reads the plaque in the front hall of Donnelly building, upon which a plate for Paula Ominski as Academy Girl 1984, was placed on February 22. Paula’s outstanding school spirit was reflected in her participation in SCO (of which she was president her senior year), Medaille Group, Mission Club, and position on the volleyball team for three years. She has obtained an extraordinary record in community service. She has been a volunteer at Catholic Worker House, and participated in Red Cross adapted aqua- tic program. She has attended the Red Cross Leader- ship camp, and was a member of Junior achievement. In addition to her endless list of extracurricular activities, Paula has maintained first honors. Three other girls were recognized as nominees: Susan Broski, Mary Piewa, and Jennifer Wood. These girls too, were a service to others both inside and outside their school community.

Sarah was recognized by such establishments as Who’s Who Among High School Stu- dents, the Society of Distin- guished American High School Students, the National Merit Corporation of Scholarships, and the United States Achieve- ment Academy for Chemistry and English. Sarah has plans to attend Kansas University where she will study chemistry. Kathy was also named in Who’s Who Among High School Students, and the Soci- ety of Distinguished American High School Students. She was named a finalist in the National Merit Corporation of Scholar- ships, and was a finalist in both the Avon Scholarship and Catholic Order of Foresters Scholarship Fund. Kathy plans to attend Notre Dame Universi- ty next year and study medi- L cine. 25 Top left: Senior Mary Plewa receives the Pau- line Reardon Sportsmanship Award from Ms. Reardon.

The Welcome, extended by Fr. Thomas Minges, was followed by the Academic Awards given by Sr. Michaela, the Extracurricular Awards presented by Sr. Pat, and the Service Awards bestowed by Sr. Bar- bara. As each student received her award, she went up on stage and lighted a candle symbolizing her achieve- ment in a particular area.

Allyson Harkins appeared behind the lM A switchboard. The recently married Mrs. Harkins took on her assignment with spirit. Her average eight hour day is always filled with phones to answer, typing to do, and records to keep. Have you ever wondered who keeps track of the absentee reports, policies, and accountabilities? These are just a few of her duties as secretary. A constant stream of students drift in and out of her office all day, every day, inquiring about lost items or to file a complaint. For Allyson every day is different from the last. At times the pace is slow but at others she doesn’t have time to catch her breath. However with the many tasks she has to her name, she finds that there is still time to enjoy getting to know the faculty and students who are a part of St. Teresa’s.

Basically, there are four different kinds of aid that Mrs. Dygert can give to students: individual appointments in which stu- dents may acquire help with certain assignments, con- sultation concerning English or any other class, regular assignments to be completed in the ERC, and lastly, review sessions for exams in any class. Mrs. Dygert enjoys most her individual appointments with the students, be- cause these students really WANT to work with her and they honestly appreciate her knowledge. Mrs. Dygert thinks that students have adjusted well to the new ERC situation, although she claims that some students do complain about the fact that the ERC is a place for study not a lounge area. She is excited to see the improvement in students’ writing, knowing that she is responsible for this positive and much needed change. Above: Clare Dygert, English Resource Center.

If I couldn't teach, I think I would probably do a service involving people, maybe a diplomat.” Aside from teaching, Dr. Grantham enjoys marathon run- ning, playing the harmonica, reading, and playing tennis. In addition to having a degree in Mathematics, he also has a degree in physical education. Above: Joe Grantham, Mathematics. Lower Left: Linda Isaak, Lan- guage Arts.

No matter how we arrived or what our support system was, we all felt something in common: uncertainty ... trepidation. Our position had changed — we were no longer the “top dogs” we’d become the “underdogs!” Faced with climbing the ladder again, we dug deep for every trick and technique we knew or could find. As “babies” and as “ants” we showed’m — that we were made of — THE RIGHT STUFF! The test was passed with flying colors (maroon and grey). We’re HUMDINGERS! We’re FRESHMEN!!!! ...

The modular schedules, account- abilities, and the absence of the male counterpart are just some minor adjustments. Take all of these alter- ations and add a hearing loss from meningitis at the age of one and a half and you have what freshman, Brenda Lee, has to cope with as a student at ST A. After attending the St. Joseph Institute for the Deaf in St. Louis for eleven years, St. Teresa’s is a totally new experience for Brenda. Brenda is very active in the ST A community. As a member of SCO, she contributes her ideas. Outside of school Brenda keeps very busy. A few of her hobbies are horseback-riding, reading, and photography. Communication is not a problem for Brenda. She reads lips of the people speaking. During class some- one takes notes for her. She can talk easily with the deaf through sign language and lip-reading.

ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE I can’t wait ’til I’m a sophomore ... 47 Sophomore storY At the beginning of freshman year, the new students resembled fish. Thrown into one big ocean — not knowing many people and being new at St. Teresa’s is all they had in common. But in the second year the fish have toughened up and are now “The Sophomore Class.” More aware of self uniqueness and development, they separate into diverse little “schools” according to common interests. Experiences shape their past and mold their future. Throughout sophomore year there are many new experiences to prove that theory. For example, Teresian. Teresian marks a new belonging to the big ocean of upperclassmen. An- other example is the security found in finally being ahead of someone else — the freshmen, and accepting the responsibility of being a “Big Bud- dy.” One of the most important experiences of many — but not all — sophomores is the thrill of driving! No longer must they face the humiliation of someone’s mother carting them around on a Friday night. The only truly unpleasant exper- ience is that the school work seems to get tougher and there is a lot of it! Yet, that is what brings the growing fish into the upperclassmen world the following year. 49 Act II: Sophomores Kai Abdelnassar Jennifer Adriano Michelle Baker Lisa Balthazor Theresa Becker Lara Bergfalk Jan Bestgen Mary Beth Blando Felicia Braddy Maureen Brady Barbette Brewer Vicki Brocato Chris Buckley Annette Bumpus Babette Bumpus Mary Connolly Shalonn Curls Barb Dasenbrock Jenny Donnelly Jennifer Drake Gorettic Duong Wendy Eads Susie Effertz Ann Egelhoff Alison Egle 50 Sometime during that crazy sophomore year, every girl will have to exper- ience, or witness, the wonderful trauma of love. Whether it be your own first date, or your best friend’s heartache, you will recognize one of these couples: — She adores and worships his very existence but he just doesn’t seem to realize that she lives in the same continent as he. This poor girl is a victim of infatuation. — These two have been a “couple” since 7th grade; they are inseparable. — This couple “broke up” on Tuesday, but got back together on Thursday. On Friday they had a fight, but they have a date for Saturday. This type is very unpredictable, but also very annoying. — Finally there is new love — “puppy love” — he gets sweaty palms when he’s around her. She jumps w hen the phone rings, and dreamily w rites his name on her notebooks. Which one of these people do you see in school? Which type are you? Is Jennifer Walker dreaming about that special some- one?

LADIES, START YOUR ENGINES! Sweet 16. A time every teenage girl awaits with great anticipation. Not only does it signify becoming more of an adult with extended curfews and greater responsibilities, but also, the greatest thrill of all in a sixteen year old’s life ... obtaining her driver’s license! This wonderful new privilege, a license, enables a 16-year-old to become a chauffeur of friends, a runner of errands and most of all, a purchaser of pe- trol, unleaded or regular. Whether it be Standard or Vickers, a 16-ycar-old will be spending a great deal of time at her local service station. This new queen of the road may be driving a Jaguar (her parents car, of course.) Or a broken down piece of trash, probably hers and her number one prize possession. It doesn’t matter to her just as long as this vehicle can take her to the local party on the weekends and to work or school during the week. t here are, of course, those who won’t acquire their license during Sophomore year. Don't be discouraged, however, this gives you the chance to study all year long for that big day. sv k Pamela Fritz intently watches the Stars shine.

Costumes, bubble gum blowing and dance contests were held in the midst of the exciting atmosphere characteristic of this annual event. The evening of wining and dining was highlighted with the announcement by D.J. Johnny Dolan that Julie Donnelly and her dad were the winners of the infamous senior dance contest. Dancing continued until, oddly enough, Tessies found it necessary (for the sake of their health) to drag their fathers off the dance floor.

The great variety of music of a Sound Dynamics disc-jockey played continuously through the evening. The gym decorated with Hershey kisses and red hearts clearly added to the theme “A Kiss from the Heart.” At 10:00, Paula Ominski, SCO President, announced the three finalists: Barbie Kitchin, Maureen Malley and Marcia Bisaha. Many ecstatic students watched as Maureen Malley and her date, Steve Marietti, were crowned WPA’s King Queen. Following all the excitement, everyone danced to the song “Making Love Out of Nothing at All,” sung by Air Supply. For the freshmen, the talk was WPA and they stunned their dates with the latest fashions and stupendous dancing abilities. This year was the first senior dance contest, perhaps a wonderful memory for Lia Hatter and her date, winners of the contest. Each winner received a jar full of candy and a chance to show off their talents. 64 Above: Angie Bryde and date prove that love is a many splendorcd thing.

PCCA4 ’84 Even “When You Wish Upon A Star,” as the theme of the evening suggests, you could never dream of an evening as grand as Prom ’84. The event was sponsored by the Junior class, following tradition, and was produced on location at the Centennial Ballroom in Crown Center Hotel. The theme song “Hello,” by Lionel Richie, along with other current hits were performed by the band, “The Stand.” The stars of the evening were senior Jamie Schroer as Prom Queen, and Lynne Brady and Amy Wiedeman as junior prom attendants.

Unforgettable songs ranging from the 1920’s to the 1980’s, along with outstanding numbers from award- winning musicals were flawlessly choreographed to produce a show that left the critics raving!

A wide variety of campus regulars hold a wide va- riety of off-campus jobs. Variety lies also in reasons for working. Is it individual obsession for the latest styles and fads that are only obtainable w ith more money than Mom and Dad care to be generous w ith? Or is it for the simple fun of meeting new people and dealing with the public? Or perhaps is it for practicality’s sake — working because one has to work to afford basic necessities and or a good education? Nevertheless, w hatever the reasons for working as a young adult, most jobs have moments of excitement as well as boredom. Take the average working student, for instance, and review a day in her life... Morning comes much too quickly and this stu- dent has to have guts and stamina to face the schoolday. As this worker muddles through the weekday at the Academy, she’s seen making up overdue assignments, scurrying from class to class, and nearly inhaling her Doritos and Nutty Bars lunch. 2:26 finally comes and this student rushes to get “home sweet home.” Arrival at home is met with a Coke and some chocolate chip cookes. Trudging up to her room with books in hand, this Tessie now begins preparation for a fun-filled evening at work, or will it not be fun? This routine of washing her face, recurling her hair, and reapplying a tasteful amount of make-up are necessities for this de- voted employee. And then comes the uniform, never having any real continuity or flair for the stylish to it, her uniform is made of a sickening polyester blend. Although she dreads putting this conglomeration of mismatched colors on her body, she must do it! With a quick glance in the mirror and an attempt at a reassuring smile, it’s finally time to depart for work. Homework is left for early morning hours, and sleep for the weekends. Often times questions such as “Is this job really worth it?” or “Will I ever get a raise and make more than minimum wage?” sway workers into contemplating the values of their employment. But work is really more appealing than it may sound by the above example. Extra money, a release of energy, and opportunity to meet new people compose just a fraction of the benefits of work. W hether a job is few or far between the one of our fictional employee mentioned before, most people w ill agree that the advantages of work outweigh the disadvantages of being a hard core unemployed. 74 (Left page) left, Is Amy Heidersbach feeling G- O-O-D as she goes to her J-O-B!?

In the beginning, there were about 35 runners getting ready for their three, four, then five mile runs around the Kansas City area every day after school. But soon, the number had gone down to 25, and after final cuts were made, a mere 17 girls were blessed (in their view, tortured) with becoming the St. Teresa’s runners of the 1984 season. Now that the season had truly begun, and practices had been ex- tended to everyday after school until 5:00, the real pain began. The five freshmen, seven sophomores, two juniors, and three seniors ran as far and as hard as their bodies would allow them, until each day they had reached their farthest point of exhaustion by the persistence of Ms. Bode and student teacher, Ms. Lile. This work had truly proved that “track women are real women.” Track meets (13 in all) began at the beginning of April and extended to the early part of May. Six runners were picked to run at the District meet at Ruskin: Carrie Eubank, Sherri White, Debbie W inston, Val- erie Harding, Courtney Shehan, and Michele Rosenshield. Four of these six continued on to Sectionals at Raytown South: Carrie Eu- bank, Sherri White, Debbie Winston, and Valerie Harding in the two- mile relay where they placed seventh, and Sherri White in the 330- hurdles placing fifth. Team statistics may not have been as fruitful as hoped, but this track team’s success seemed to have been measured in spirit, team- work, and persistence. The track season of 1984 endeavored endur- ance and many hours of much hard work. In the end, it seemed to have given it’s proper reward to most, if not all, members of the team. (Upper left) Sherri White displays her confidence, as well as beauty. (Lower left) The power of Michele Rosenshield races to the finish.

Front row: Amy Brown, Debbie Schroer, Amy Coleman Jamie Schroer, Katie Kostoryz, Michelle Novak, Sarah Goodwin, Maria Dunn The 1983 Tennis Team has been described by many people, including coach Sue Christen- son, as the “best team in the city.” This season the team was composed of twenty eight very talented young women. The team practiced ev- ery week day, excluding Friday, at the Car- riage Club and at Woodside in the event of rain. The players challenged each other, and vigor- ously attempted to rank in the top fourteen positions around game and tournament time. The top seven players were labeled as the Var- sity Squad, the succeeding seven as Junior Var- sity, and the remaining players competed against schools, such as Sunset and Shawnee Mission East, who had a comparable number of girls. Qualifying for the District Tourna- ment Singles Competition, Michelle Novak, sophomore, and Renee Aubin, freshman, placed First and fourth respectively. In addi- tion, seniors Katie Kostoryz and Jamie Schroer finished First, and freshman Lee Ellen Curry and Mona Marietti placed sixth in doubles. Michelle Novak proceeded to the State Compe- tition but was defeated in her First round 6-2,6- 2; Katie Kostoryz and Jamie Schroer advanced to the quarter Finals.

Sounds of bouncing balls, racing feet and shouting of instructions lifted the Goppert Center ceiling Monday thru Friday for approximately four months. Enthusiastic, nervous, and usually unfit volleyball players raced into the newly erected gymnasium during August for tryouts. These same girls, most often, limped out with sore muscles and tired limbs. Only dedicated volleyball players would endure the dreaded “eight minute mile” and vigorous circuit training that accompanied each practice. However, the excitement of partici- pating in home games and traveling to tournaments prevailed over any regrets of the numerous practices. With three new, young, teams Anne Bode, head coach of Freshmen, Junior Varsity, and Varsity, was faced with an incomparable challenge. Each team consisted of girls who had previously never experienced working together. In addition, the Varsity team lost six seniors, leaving merely two returning letterman. However, hope did not fade and individually the players of each team excelled. This was proven when both the Freshmen and J.V. teams were victorious over their opponents in their first game. Disappointingly, the Varsity was defeated but immediately overcame top-ranked St. Mary’s in an important and exciting three game match. Also, tournament play proved favorable for the Stars. After competing in both the Blue Valley and UMKC tourneys, the Varsity squad prevailed with a win-loss record of 7 and 8. Various offensive techniques and defensive strategies were applied in the matches by all teams. The effort and expertise was impressive to watch. The remainder of the season proceeded with a sense of unbalance as losses and wins emerged almost spontaneously. The Freshmen team’s final record was: 13 wins; 9 losses. Junior Varsity ended with a 22 and 25 record and the Varsity completed their season 7 and 8, after a disappointing defeat by Center Senior High School in the first game of District Playoffs. 82 Junior Varsity Team (left to right) bottom: Anne Marie Long, Marianne Mitts, Sue Pack, Mary Ortega; center: Annette Bumpus, Cynthia Farrington, Babette Bumpus; top: Valerie Koelzer, Kala Dahnke.

ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE 83 Cheerleaders: Sally Runyan, Janie Kraus, LaV;ette Owens, and Claudia Rowland. Not pictured: Lara Bergfalk. Cheerleaders?? At STA?? That was the big question this year at St. Teresa’s. Everyone was talking about it, it just didn’t seem right at an all girls’ school, but why not? The five new cheerleaders, Lara Bergfalk, Janie Kraus. LaVette Owens, Claudia Rowland, and Sally Runyan were being checked over very carefully at the games, but with the help of Mrs. Danuser and her enthusiasm the girls went out there anyway. This was the first year for cheerleaders at STA and no one really knew how they were going to turn out. But everyone was sure glad the cheerleaders were there when STA played Sion! Actually, to everyone’s surprise, they weren’t half bad and the teams really enjoyed having the cheerleaders at the games, knowing someone was root- ing for them. There was a new spice to the pep rallies as cheers and chants were taught to the student body so they could join in at the games. 84 Tribu Without the unselfish dedication of STA coaches, there would be no STARS to show off the new gym. Therefore, St. Teresa’s devotes this page, in appreciation, and as a tribute to these very special faculty members. Top left: Freshmen Basket- ball coach. Mrs. Mursey.

Basketball coach. 85 BasketbalL Star Performance “I think we’ll be one of the quicker teams in the city,” second-year Coach Jim McMurray said. “I think we’ll be one of the better passing teams in the city. By the end of the year I think we could be really tough. I think we could win our district.” As the basketball season progressed, the words of Coach McMur- ray seemed prophetic. The press realizing the talent at St. Teresa’s covered the team’s proceedings with great interest. On many occa- sions the STARS made sports headlines, with emphasis on Felicia Braddy (call me Lisa), a sophomore transfer from Schlagle High School. Lisa was named the best newcomer in the nation last season by a national publication. But teamwork was the name of the game, and the STARS practiced six days a week for approximately two or three hours. Each player was expected to do her best, not only in every game but also in every practice. The discipline paid off as the STARS won the District 14, 4A final against Paseo, and then a 61- 55 victory over Lee’s Summit pushed the STARS in the Class 4A quarterfinals for the first time. However, this game ended in defeat in Warrensburg, with St. Joseph Central winning 46-40. 86 Top: Senior Mary Plewa was voted a 1984 Scholar-Athlete by the Star Times.

Sure, along with the honor comes a lot of rewards but also a lot of problems. It seems like yesterday when Ju- niors were going through Freshman Initiation and preparing for their first S.T.A. dance. A major excitement during Junior year is the attendance of their first High School Prom. But, with that honor, they are also responsible for the financing of this grandiose event, which leads to much badgering and threatening by class officers to get out there and sell, sell, sell for a “great Prom.” Junior year is the year they finally get rid of the dreaded accountability. Juniors can be found wandering aim- lessly throughout the corridors of S.T.A. exercising their new found freedom. Juniors possess a vast sophistication. They are hold, but yet subdued. They don’t have time to busy themselves with such things as Spirit Month, in which the Juniors came in a sparkling last. Since they attained the coveted status of an upperclassmen, they no longer have sympathy for the underlyings in the social structure. On any given day, Juniors can be seen harassing unsuspecting Freshmen and Sophomores. One big disadvantage of Junior Year is teachers w ho think they have to test them every five seconds. In short, being a Junior is exciting and fun. They’re becoming sure of themselves. They realize they have only one year left until they become the big Seniors. They are striving to make this the best year possible, and have a little fun in the process.

Top right: Gretchen Wilhelm plays flute at the Renaissance Festival. Lower left: Kathy Schmiedeier finds a quiet spot to read in the English Resource Cen- ter. Working in the Renaissance Festival Short tempers and complaining are two very popular occupations at the Renaissance Festival (Ren Fest). Getting up at 6:30 on a Saturday morning, making dying attempts to look like one stepped out of the 17th century and then trying to drive to Bonner Springs by 9:00 am is an ordeal. There are things like picking up fifty people and stopping at the Quik-Trip for breakfast before I can finally head out to the Ren Fest. This is enough to make me grouchy. Then I arrive and pick up my daily schedule. I am happy to know that the managers have scheduled me to do ten shows in one day, but I have only ten minutes for lunch. Somewhere between the Royal Court’s performance and the May Pole dance, I need to grab a pizza stick or a meatball sandwich. I am now at the point of complaining to the next festival person I see. Unfortunately, he can’t hear me because he is screaming his problems at me. When the managers quiet us down for the daily meeting, ail of the festival people seem to have developed short tempers. After the meeting, a musician gets on the stage and tells us to sing “My Mama Made Me Mash My M M’s” for a warmup. We all groan and stand up. When the song is finished, we are awake and the bad schedules are forgotten. The cannon goes off, and our little trip back in time is over as the 20th century pours in through the gate. Our fantasy is gone and it is time to be “brilliant and wonderful’’ says our manager. I am thinking about how to be these two things w hen I could be at home asleep. I drag myself over to my first area and get set up. I start playing the same boring songs on my flute that 1 have heard too many times. I start feeling depressed because no one is listening. Then a little girl and her father come and sit down to hear me play. Immediately, I play with feeling and turn that song into something 1 have never heard before. The girl is smiling and she has made my short- tempered day perfect. After this show, I go to harass some people. I try to sell visitors hay from the ground or I take children from their parents. 1 am a noisy festival person in another performer’s audience. When it is hot, I sweat and get dirty, and when it is raining, I am being “brilliant and wonderful’’ in ten inches of mud. Why have I tortured myself for four years straight? That question is hard to answer. But maybe it’s the happiness I find in seeing children smile because of my music. Or it’s the enjoyment of making people laugh at themselves. Or it’s all the friends I make. — Gretchen Wilhelm 96 Colleen Sullivan Nancy Tiojanco Regina Troyer Julie Tumberger Mary Valdivia Valerie VanGilder Amy Vessels Cynthia Vines Debbie Wagoner Yvonne Walker IYfichaela Walsh Molly W alsh Brooke Walter Kathleen W'aris Suzanne Wetzel Lynn W'heelock Stephanie White Amy Wiedeman Gretchen Wilhelm Rohin Winston Patty W right Above: Junior Retreat 97 And in time, we will all be Stars ... Upon receiving their class rings on April 12th, the Juniors were recognized as the graduating class of 1985. The ceremony commenced with an impressive display of musical talent by jun- ior Jenny Curry during the class entrance pro- cession. In her opening address Sr. Barbara Verheyen, Principal, appealed to the class to begin seriously considering their plans for the future. Thus, the rings not only signified accep- tance as a senior at St. Teresa’s, but also the transition to adulthood. The ceremony ended with a slide presentation accompanied by the theme song, “I Sing the Body Electric” from the movie, “Fame”. The class processed out to a flute concerto by junior Gretchen Wilhelm. The success of the evening can be attributed to the Ring Night chairperson, Lynne Brady. Top: Bebe Geisel and Carol Gu- tierrez.
