ooking Sharp,,, Out with the old and in with the new seemed to be the campus ' s recur- ring theme as yet another school year was notched in students ' belts. Construction was widespread throughout the campus while the summer days rolled along. Yet, off to the side of St. Mary ' s Lake, destruc- tion was found. Holy Cross was finally torn down. Rumors that Holy Cross, built in 1889, would be razed to the ground within a few years were found to be true. Residents got the news of having to move into a new dorm for the follow- ing year. And finally, in July, the decrepit and timeworn dorm bid farewell to the campus at 101 years of age. In 1871, Sacred Heart Church opened its gigantic wooden doors to churchgoers only to close them 1 1 8 years later for renovations. But this year, for the first time in months, the doors wel- comed the public back again. On August 1 6, the church not only marked the 1 02nd anniversary of its consecration but also celebrated its first Ma ss after fifteen months of extensive restoration. No longer did students and faculty have to go to the pseudo-church of Stepan Center but rather found themselves opening the school year under the shining gold and light of the renovated Sacred Heart Church. With the disappearance of Holy Cross and the improved appearance of Sacred Heart, the campus was ready to greet students with a fresh face. Yet, in August, students ' minds were more con- cerned with moving in. Everything brought from home and storage some- how had to fit in the room. After hours of labor and sweat, students managed to turn their dorm rooms into home. For some, it was their piece de resistance. For others, it was a journey to hell and back! -Jeff Cabotaje END OF AN ERA: In August, Holy Cross Hall was torn down. NEW LOOK: Sacred Heart Church reopened in August after total renovations. AHHH! The new Sacred Heart takes your breath away. FINISHED: Relaxing is key after putting in a long day ' s work. HOME SWEET HOME: There ' s no place like home, no matter how small. YEAR IN REVIEW 29
