Noneheless, we realized how recreaion and friendships compose uch an important part of the life f these students. To examine further how these tudents learn, we moved to a uger cubicle filled with books, ailed an Instructional Materials :enter (on our planet, simply ailed a "library"). Here, we oberved students reading books nd writing on lined, spirally1etal-backed paper. The quiet et busy atmosphere was occaionally punctuated by an intellient-looking, black-clothed, beoggled being's announcing ab1ptly to some, "Time to go." We wandered back down some 11mmetrical, hardened ridges

and were drawn ,by the sounds of more music, this time sup .plied harmoniously by instruments which the students were manipulating to the instruction of a 'being called "C." We were amazed at the rich quality of such music and impressed by such diversifying of intellectual talents. After a shrill bell-noise formally ended the instruction, we observed a broad range of activities and gatherings inside and outside the building. In some cubicles, students engaged in speaking contests, others aimed 路 small, black and silver, metal, flashing containers at various creatures and objects, some sctatche~ complex numerical equations onto a blue-green wall in one of the cubicles. And still others, dressed in blue and gold, threw, kicked, or struck with metal some brown, multi-colored, or white spheres (and some of these

Dedication

s LaSalle's resident chief physicist, electronics expert, and private tutor, Ms. Lorraine Rimert has for years given much of herself - her knowledge, her dedication, and her energies - to LaSalle. Intense, active, scholarly, and patient, Ms. Rimert provides, for her students and for her peers, a good model of what a LaSallian teacher should be. On these few pages, we take pride in honoring her for the work she does and for the person she is. Ms. Rimert's expertise and professionalism both exemplify and reflect LaSalle's intelligent life. She has been gifted with a unique

[)edieation 1nderstanding of the laws and >roperties of physics and electricty. Dedication in her teaching .kills make any subject, from sim•le vectors to quantum mechancs, clearer to and more apprecitted by her students. Hopefully, tfter a thorough explanation and lemonstration of a theory, we can tnswer her direct, daily question: 'What does this mean for us?" No natter how we answer, we always or, most of the time) can agree vith her that "Physics is Fun." Away from the classroom, Ms. limert helps sustain the life of the ichool in other ways. She can be lpproached at any time to explain •roblems to confused students. ,he tutors struggling students in be A. V. room from long before to ong after formal school hours. ,he keeps all the A. V. equipment n excellent condition, satisfying ~very teacher's requests for imooth-working machines, often tt a moment's notice. And during he annual Open House, Ms. Rinert really brings physics and :lectricity to life with amazing ex•eriments and demonstrations. Jndoubtedly, her energies are :hanneled toward, and felt by, ~oth the current and future comnunities of LaSalle. Whether or not you have expe-

rienced Ms. Rimert's teaching, you know that she greatly influences the everyday academic functioning of our school. She affects our collective intellectual life by constantly and humbly maintaining her vital commitment to the LaSallian family. We hope that our dedicating of the 1991 Blue and Gold to her makes her realize our deep appreciation.

ADMINISTRATION

Brother Robert Shea, F.S.C. "The focus of the ministry of education at LaSalle is to provide for the intelligent life defined as students. I influence that intelligent life by coordinating the efforts of the Principal, Assistant Principal, Vice President, and Comptroller in such a way as to maximize the program offered to those entrusted to our care. Secondly, I try to influence intelligent life by inviting those in a position to do so, to financially support the school's many projects. I hope to influence at least a small portion of the 'intelligent life' at LaSalle by continuing to teach the course on Prayer to members of the senior class. I see intelligent life in everyone who is a member of our LaSallian Family: Board of Trustees, Administration, Faculty, Staff, Students, Parents, Alumni and Friends of LaSalle. The primary reason for our being a family is to support the intelligent life of the students."

Brother F. Shea: President; Prayer

Mr. David T. Diehl "I see signs of intelligent life everyday when the doors to the school open and 1000 students, teachers and staff enter the building. Each day this group brings with them a storehouse of creative energy, humor, insight, dedication and, of course, problems. The interaction of these people each day creates intelligent life in its truest form, the life of a school day."

Mr. David T. Diehl: Principal; Economics I

Brother James Dries, F.S.C.

"My contribution to intelligent life at LaSalle is simple. I bring together students, a teacher, a period of time and a classroom for each student and faculty member. All the ingredients for learning that I can provide are in place. The intelligent life that develops is a result of the careful tutelage of our faculty and the desire to learn in the part of our students. A couple of times each day I tour the school building. As I walk through the corridors, I hear the noise that comes from each classroom. This is the noise of education, learning, and intelligence. It is a noise of paper, of students thinking, of teachers causing students to stretch their minds. It's a beautiful noise. It's evidence that intelligent life is vibrant at LaSalle." Dr. James Devine

rother James J. Dries: Assistant Principal; Chemtry

Mr. Lawrence T. Mangan: Comptroller

"Through my interaction with students, alumni, board members and my colleagues, I feel that I influence the intelligent life at LaSalle. My class in Cross Cultural Communications is a learning time for me as well as for my students. In it I try to help them understand themselves and I try to help them recognize that balance is necessary in education. Academics as well as sports and extracurricular activities make up 'education.' I feel that wellroundedness is the hallmark of LaSalle students. And by just being in the building one becomes aware of the level of intellect present in LaSalle everyday. The students are takers as well as givers of knowledge. They teach me a lot about myself and help me grow. They realize, I believe, that academics is not the only form of intellectual development and they seek knowledge in the experience of being involved and learning from others. All of these things give evidence to me that they are seeking knowledge, not only academically but also through experience." Brother Rene Sterner, F.S.C.

)r. James J. Devine: Vice President; Cross Cul1ral Communications

Brother Rene Sterner: Director of Admissions

"I find my new job as Director of Admissions interesting, challenging, and informative. My role as Forum moderator gives me the opportunity to see intelligence developed, because this activity requires ideas to be brought together in a focused, clear, and persuasive way. LaSalle gives its gifted students the proper channels to express themselves, providing for future greatness."

Board of Trustees

ven though the s.tudent body rarely recognizes the efforts of the Board of Trustees, it is an important organization at LaSalle. As the ultimate authority here, the Board makes the decisions regarding all of LaSalle's important educational, financial, and developmental strategies. These decisions are made at the regular meetings for the administration to carry out. Brother Colman Coogan, F.S.C., is ChairÂˇ man of the Board with Brother Robert Shea, F.S.C., acting as President. The members of

the Board of Trustees provide expertise in finance, education, and law. The Board is supported by four service members: Mr. David Diehl, Brother James Dries, F.S.C., Dr. James Devine, and Mr. Lawrence Mangan. These four may voice their opinions but do not vote. The Board of Trustees is organized into five committees to better serve LaSalle. The Executive committee is convened only when the entire Board is unable to meet. The Finance committee deals with the fiscal needs

of the Board. The arrangement of inves1 ment portfolios and gifts is done by the 0â&#x201A;Ź velopment committee. Future goals are SE by the Long-Range Planning committee. An, the Nominating committee names new merr bers to the Board. LaSalle is able to act as an independen school because of the volunteer service ol fered by the Board of Trustees. The qualiti of the professional experience present allow it to make informed and worthwhile decision for the success of LaSalle.

GUIDANCE Brother Thomas Chadwick, F.S.C. "I think the freshmen are a bright group of people. I am a helper who allows the students to see the gifts that they have. My study-skills programs help out students who are smart, but who don't see it. They are a pleasure to work with."

choose the colleges best suited to them. In coaching I stress that the students are here for an education. After completing my class, students are capable of making informed decisions of their futures. The athletes see improvement with their hard work and know that it was worthwhile."

Mrs. Marie Baer "How do I promote intelligence here? By threatening my kids to get at least a 1400 on the SATs and seeing it as a reflection on myself if they don't. I'm too old to notice intelligent life anymore. My elevator no longer goes to the top floor."

Mr. Michael Dolan "I believe that we're more than intellectual beings. There is a spiritual side to us, there's a physical side, there's an emotional side, and it seems to me that in order to be happy, we need some sense of balance in our lives. If someone isn't functioning well intellectually, he is often being held back by his emotions and I can assist him by helping to remove that negative emotional energy. Recently, I was really impressed with how open and responsive the kids here can be in the right setting, like the small retreat groups. I enjoy the energy and the intensity of the school day at LaSalle; it tires me out and yet it is really energizing."

Dr. Doris L. Daly "I believe I promote intelligent life by helping students meet the academic challenge offered here at LaSalle. This problem solving may mean a tutor, learning how to learn, or most importantly, instilling in the student some academic confidence. Intelligent life includes social and emotional development. I see, here at LaSalle, a commitment to understand the individual student and to encourage his personal growth. The equal importance given to the myriad of activities offered demonstrates the value placed on the uniqueness of each student. Personal and academic growth go hand in hand." Mr. Patrick Devine "In my subject, Christian Lifestyles, I help my students evaluate different lifestyles they may be interested in. In guidance I help them

Brother Thomas Chadwick: Director of Guidance & Counseling; Freshman Guidance; Study Skills

Brother David Rogers, F.S.C. "I decide the end result of the intelligent life in LaSalle. I help the senior class by giving them realistic choices for life through the college admission process. I try to make the student avoid selling himself short in this process. I experience intelligent life at all levels. I see intelligence, especially in the seniors, in their organization. These people impress me greatly. I think that they will adjust to life easily."

ART/MlJSlC Not Just Still Life Mrs. Diane McGovern

Brother Joseph Myers, F.S.C.

"I tell my students that they can accomplish anything in art if they think it out, put forth the effort, and let their imaginations flow. Their art is the visual proof that intelligent life does exist at LaSalle. Everyday students are challenged to see beyond the real landscape or a still life placed before them and to create something which is unique and individually theirs. One of my favorite projects is 'painting to music.' It's very exciting to watch a blank piece of paper change into a composition of artistic expression. Now that's intelligent!"

"Well, since I mostly teach underclassmen, the way in which I try to influence the intelligent life is by trying to teach the students good study habits, or at least honest ones. I try to convey this to them so that they are responsible enough for reading, writing, and speaking well. Because clarity and honesty are an important part of religion, I feel that these skills are invaluable. The way I experience the intelligent life of the students in this school is through their imagination more than anything else. Religion is filled with imagination; to interpret religion meaningfully is to interpret it with imagination, or religion is nothing at all. The students at LaSalle have been able to understand even the hardest beliefs out of faith because of their intelligence and imagination."

Mr. Joseph Ciccimaro

"Practically all of my students exhibit signs of intelligence. I help to foster the signs of intelligence by trying to get, as best as I can, another dimension into their intellect, namely the arts, specifically music."

The kids use their heads during the games and are always thinking of new ways to play offense or defense. They may be high school students, but they are always coming up with innovative ways to play the games. The ideas that the kids come up with are great. I like the enthusiasm they bring to each class."

Mr. Martin Stanczak "We have the brightest students to be found. Aside from that fact, I see myself as more than an Accounting teacher. I want to know who my students are, what their interests are and what goals they have set for themselves. In this way, I hope to have a positive influence on each and every student. The most rewarding influence on intelligent life at LaSalle, for me, comes when a student questions insightfully. Through questioning, the student can make a quality judgement, evaluate, and hopefully, arrive at the proper conclusion."

erature. Whenever I see its yellow body and tell-tale black stripes, I attack, confiscate, and destroy. Yes, it is that horrible monster, Cliff's Notes, spawn of capitalism and student paranoia. Sometimes it seems like a losing battle because this monster appears to multiply in lockers and bags. But my diligent vigilance and love of the literature that this monster seeks to undermine, contributes, I hope, to the intelligent life at LaSalle.

Mrs. Clare Brown

Mr. Dennis M. Bloh "As an English teacher for both freshmen and juniors, I get to see two very different groups of the student body. I think that is an advantage, because I get to see the maturing and the blossoming processes first-hand. I see some very intelligent students here. I think because we, as teachers, care so much, we tend to focus on the kids who aren't making it. But there's a lot of guys who are doing real well."

Brother Thomas J. Bondra, F.S.C. "My contribution to the fostering of the intelligent life in this school? An epic battle between myself and that most insidious monster that seeks to destroy any intelligent response to lit-

"I can describe my teaching style as an attempt to get my students, either through discussion or writing, to respond to the literature, but mainly not to be able just to recount themes and ideas and develop them in a good tight essay. I want my students to grasp the desire to think individually. I feel that we are very lucky to have a student body that wants to do well, but I wish that they would be a little less conformist in trying to get the A. I can't describe myself as well as the students can, but I can say that I love to read and discuss literature. I love the outdoors which I guess can account for my unique wardrobe. I hiked a good bit of the Appalachian Trail. I would like to conclude with this: if you like to read, then teaching literature is a great way to earn your money. However, there is a negative aspect when it comes to marking papers: why spend your time doing that when you can be on the trail?"

you intelligence in the uncertainties, ambiguities, hesitations, meaningful vacant stares and marginal notes of both pen and voice. Stop, look, listen; the well-trained mind knows its own direction. Developing intelligent life is not without effort. It means finding a way to reach the insides of ideas, to find their shapes. It means being willing to forego the familiar. It takes work: finding the right questions to start the discussion, balancing the three explicit and three implicit issues hovering over the conversation, judging just where the clock will let you finish. It means forgetting, at least temporarily, that there is a well-known world outside the classroom door. It means making the familiar strange and the strange familiar. Developing intelligent life is not without effort."

Mr. Bernard McCabe "What?"

Mr. Edward McCabe "I do not promote intelligent life, am not a promoter nor do I consider my classroom a place for promotions. Rather I encourage students to risk their security by moving to the outer limits of their potential. I see intelligent life every time a hand involuntarily snaps up, or a student unable to refrain blurts out a comment because a nerve or brain cell has been struck. I am not talking about the polite, mechanical, hand-elevating response to a mundane question."

Dr. Joseph D' Angelo "I try to allow kids to have and express their opinions in my class. LaSalle kids have a wonderful sense of humor. And to me, that is a sure sign of intelligence."

Mr. Michael O'Toole "They're everywhere hallways, classrooms, dining halls, chapels. In the slowly developing, carefully formed argument about a war and wars, in the scattershot conflation of random opinions about judgements and decisions, in the hopeful glance which says, 'I think ... ': keep watching and I'll show

Mr. Edward Molush "I see intelligence in the students' approach to their work, not only in their offering of intelligent answers but also in their asking of intelligent questions - be they about literature, writing an essay, or baseball. I think I try to create an atmosphere that's alive - one that motivates students to be alert to what they're doing, to listen not only to me but also to each other, to argue with each other, and to question and compare each other's thoughts about reading and writing."

see how a student responds to challenges in and out of school we can witness signs of intelligent life at LaSalle."

Brother Robert Romano, F.S.C. "I feel I influence intelligent life at LaSalle through my daily interactions with my students. Their openness and friendliness make learning a pleasurable experience. In class, they plead with me to learn 'las malas palabras.' However, this seeking of intelligent life is pursued in Spanish 3: 'The Next Generation.' " Brother James Steck, F.S.C. "Teaching at LaSalle involves dealing with a lot of intellectually gifted students who are interested in learning. I would hope that in teaching foreign language I would open up students to the values of different cultures, for them to see that the American way of looking at things isn't the only way. The students' interest in Honors language courses shows that they are very willing to do the work."

Mr. Gabriel Blanco: CHAIRPERSON: Spanish 4; AP Spanish

LANGUAGE DEPT.;

Mr. Gabriel Blanco "I believe that as a teacher at LaSalle High School I am able to influence intelligent life in multiple ways. I try to provide an atmosphere where the students are continually challenged to think and learn, through tests as well as in their responses in class. On the other hand, I have experienced intelligent life in my classes through listening and interpreting students' responses on tests, in class participation, and in discovering how students present themselves to others. I believe that when you examine a student's answer to difficult questions, or

Mr. George Hohenleitner "Signs of intelligent life among students include the student who asks a question when no one else seems willing to do so, or the student who volunteers an answer when no one else seems willing to do so. Seeing life as a gift, not as a burden, would be a sign of intelligent life. To gain intelligence we need to not only listen and question, but also to strive to know God. An intelligent life delights in the fact that we depend on God for everything in our lives." Mr. David Manion "Foreign language study helps to broaden my students' thoughts, while introducing them to a new culture and helping them look at their own language in a different way. I find LaSalle

students to be sharp in picking up , language. There is an initial fascinatio1 with learning a new language, but a the work gets harder, the students re spond well to the challenge. I strive t, keep the students interested, while i is a challenge for the students to con tinue working."

Mrs. Linda Donahue "I try to draw from daily life ex periences in order to make the foreig1 language class seem relative. Also, feel it's important the students se, learning a foreign language as a !if, skill and not just an academic pursuit I experience the intelligent life o LaSalle students when THEY make MI laugh." Mr. Victor Gavin "I influence my students by helpini them focus on the lesson at hand. I se, the intelligent life in every class, everi day. LaSalle students are the best Without exception, they all have mo ments of insight, creativity, and Jar gesse." Mr. William Geiger "As a teacher, I believe that it's mi responsibility to challenge my stu dents, to open their horizons, and t< show them what other options ar1 available. I hope they will come to mak1 their decisions and judgements intelli gently and carefully rather than half heartedly. The outstanding thing abou LaSalle is that it has been possible fo me to develop a lot of strong friend ships with students because they an such good kids, and I really enjo\ working with them. We try to have a: much fun as we can, whether it's ir class or in an activity, because I fee that fear and rigidity are unnecessari in education; I think that the student: tend to like and respect their free dom."

For instance, I was greatly impressed by two seniors who had an indepth discussion of the classic, Canterbury Tales. The fact that they were only discussing the raunchy parts did not diminish my respect for them ... Seriously, I see intelligence not only in the academics of the classroom but in volunteerism of CSC members, in the friendships and caring of students and in the helpful nature of the staff. I try to contribute to this intelligence by being challenging in the classroom, by being interested in the students outside of the classroom and by my own personal commitment to Christian living.

"I contribute to the intelligence of i students by being creative and flexe in my approach to things. I try to 1ke them think for themselves rather rn memorizing everything without 1sping the concepts. I also want the iical approach of math to be transed into the other problems of life. I try to pick out the signs of intellince in my students by seeing how ~y convert what they learn in math other things. I also look for the stunts that have innovative approaches math, those who show they are comehending the material." r. John Frizalone "I think that our goal, while we have 3ood time, is to get people to reflect little deeper. In math sometimes u're forced to think a little harder, th non- routine problems. Hopefully, e students respond to that, and give u back some of that."

Ms. Tina Shustack "I see one of my roles here at LaSalle as an educator and a facilitator of education. I don't just stand there and give them information. I feel it's very important for a student to learn and discover. I try to have the students discover the answers and come up with a logical reason for an answer; they have to be able to explain themselves and their answers."

Mr. Michael Ponisciak "[ try to get the students to expand their knowledge and to realize just how much they are capable of doing. There is no doubt that each of our students possesses a good deal of intelligence; it is just a matter of getting them to use it. The students show their intelligence when they try their best ~rid realize that their education is important to them."

Brother Charles Mrozinski, F.S.C. "On warm, sunny days I notice my students leaning towards the windows as plants do. They always move towards the sun. I don't look upon students as things like plants, though there may be days when I want to kill them or overwater them, but basically I wouldn't be a teacher if I didn't feel like that. Students interact with me as a person; if I do something that upsets the students, more often than not I can tell that by their reaction. I see signs of lots of feelings with the students and if that's a sign of intelligent life, well maybe that's it. I see each student as a person who has a whole set of different needs from the person next to him."

Mr. Joseph Radvansky "I see intelligence every day in the hard work and effort demonstrated by many of the students at LaSalle. In the questions asked and the interest shown in their education, the true measure of intelligence is measured everyday. I, for my small part, try to nurture in my students the traits of a good student: doing their homework every night, taking notes in the classroom, asking questions when they are confused, and taking full responsibility for their academic goals."

Mr. James Roche: CHAIRPERSON: MATH DEPT.; Algebra 1 (Hon.), 2Y; Calculus AB, BC

Mrs. Mary Jo Smith "I would hope to challenge my math students to think and to reason logically. LaSalle students are always thinking. Some amaze me with the amount of energy they expend to cleverly avoid work, while the majority inspire me by their hard working attitude." Mr. James Roche "I think that this school is a place where intelligence is emphasized. The main purpose of education is to gain analytical skills using intelligent reasoning. Mathematics provides thought processes, sharpens analytical skills, and strengthens decision making abilities. Mathematics is practical, because it cultivates thinking skills which will apply in the future. People like to think, and I try to make math something which will appeal to the rational nature of people. In my classes, I see my students 'discovering' math for themselves. When I see my students grasping concepts, I know that their thought processes are getting better."

Mr. Fran Johnson

"Basically I believe that there is intelligent life in the students even as they enter the building. The job of the teacher is to awaken that - to create the situation in the classroom on a daily basis that provides the proper structure, situation, and climate for a student to express himself and come to a full knowledge of his own personal intellectual abilities. I feel that the teacher really does remove obstacles and tries to ease the student into a learning experience. The intelligence is innate; it just has to be awakened. In regard to my own personal classes, I quote Jean Piaget, a famous child psychiatrist and educator: 'to understand is to invent.' I believe that when a person meets new ideas and the imagination starts to work, the learning process begins. I feel that using the imagination is the prime goal and that is where I see things happening." Mrs. Muriel Mehr

"Although I've been here for twenty years, I'm constantly amazed at the questions that the students ask and at the depth of their thinking. They really challenge me and they help me to grow spiritually and, as a result, deepen my own understanding. My time at LaSalle has been more than a job. LaSalle has had a tremendous influence on my life and has helped me to be the person I am. My greatest delight is being able to share in the gifts of our students: their creativity, their inquisitiveness, their imagination, and their talents. And, last but not least, I am a part of a faculty which is made up of good friends." Mr. Geoffrey Nicoletti

"Wonder is a religious emotion, and I often find students wondering. In my religion classes, I try to keep things light and sometimes humorous. Often I will tell a student to 'shut the front door,' or I will provide a 'running

commentary' for a movie being shown in class. Teaching religion, however, does have a very meaningful purpose to me. I think that religion answers the 'why' questions in many teenagers' minds. It gives kids a reason to care, a reason to hit the books, or maybe the extra energy to get them through the day. When my students get in small groups, I see each one of them contributing to the work of the group."

Mr. Geoffrey Nicoletti: Religion 1, 2

Mr. Alfred Pun tel "I spend a lot of time planning classes that are relevant to what students might need to know in religion and communicating what I think Catholic moral values and principles are. The better students put a lot of time into trying to master the material. They also raise important questions to further clarify the material being presented. Their questioning, their test-taking, and their general enthusiasm for what's going on all reflect their interest and intelligence." Brother Michael Andrejko, F.S.C. "I believe that 'Intelligent Life' exists here at LaSalle. Generally, students learn very quickly. I try to bring what I'm teaching into the classroom and relate it to the world that the students live in. I believe in educating the 'entire person,' not just the mind. To me the 'entire person' consists of their ability, responsiveness, and effort."

Brother Kenneth Cook, F.S.C. "Five years ago I was assigned to LaSalle. I was very influenced in teaching style by some of my own teachers. I try to use a mixture of techniques, in the sense that I think that people ought to be able to use their other skills in class. Writing should be a skill well-used, and I want to give the students opportunities to ask good questions and answer good questions."

Mrs. Julia K. Maher "Science is a subject that should stimulate students' interests in things that go on in their everyday life and things that they observe and do. I teach Chemistry which is probably the most iibstract of our sciences. However, the students can learn to appreciate that atoms, molecules, and science are all part of their lives. Students at LaSalle challenge me as a teacher. They are very bright, intelligent, thinking human beings. They make me strive to come up with more creative ideas of how to stimulate their thought processes that will hopefully help them if they go on to science careers. The majority of the students in my classes this year are very hard working and appreciate what science is about. Mrs. Linda Canobbio Because of the experiences I have had I can tell the boys many things that I have seen happen, and by doing so they come to realize that what they learn really relates to what is going on in the outside world. I also like to tell stories to emphasize a point, because it helps the students to better remember what they are learning. I realize, through the questions they ask and the challenges they present, that the students are interested in what they are learning.'' Mrs. Dorothy Ponisciak "I present the students with an indepth approach to a very difficult subject. My expectation is that if I am going to give an in-depth approach I am expecting the same thing back. I also try to make the students more aware of how Chemistry relates to their lives. I try to help them be more aware and knowledgeable of the things around them. The students won't settle for 'I told you so' kind of answers. They can easily pick up on whether or not the teacher knows what they are talking about. The students really want to

know the truth behind the subject and will not be satisfied with anything short of the best answers you can give."

Mr. Terry Gillespie "The function of a teacher, is organizing information for individuals, taking topics and ideas, and organizing them into a learnable format. We do a lot of this in science when we do our lab work. I do experience intelligent life in my classes. You see it when you pose questions and make everyone think a little about what you've just talked about. It's always encouraging to see people take a step beyond memorization." Mr. Robert Reinhardt "Physical science alone can broaden one's intellectual boundaries. Through the use of intuition, personal experience, critical thinking, and hands-on experience we can examine the world around us. I have personally witnessed these applications of intelligence at school activities and in the classroom." Mr. Gerald Evans "I remember that from the beginning of my high school career at Father Judge and up to and including when I became B.M.O.C. at LaSalle University that I wanted to not only be able to distinguish the qualities of a vital and functional body from a dead one, but also to awaken young minds and encourage them to be inquisitive. By teaching my students to learn how to learn, my hopes are that they will become intelligent and mature individuals with a basic familiarity of biology." Ms. Lorraine Rimert "Intelligent life in school helps students' own abilities to develop and grow to enable them to enter the world of 'college' and/or work as well-prepared young men. In physics and electricity I'm able to

contribute my own varied experiences in the field plus many practical applications, adding 'color' to basic theory of topics in both courses."

Mr. Robert J. Russell "I see intelligent life in some very ordinary events that take place in the classroom. For example, I like to ask questions in class - questions designed to see if anyone can anticipate where the discussion is headed - what the solutions will be. It is really exciting and rewarding when the answers to these questions are on the right track.

Mrs. Sally Mydlowec "I contribute to the intellectual life of LaSalle by trying to create enthusiasm about science. I want to give my students a strong background in science so they can know what's going on when new advances are made. I see the kids asking many 'what if' questions. This shows a higher level thought process. They seem to analyze and interpret rather than just give the facts."

SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT Intelligence from the Past

Mr. Joseph Colistra "l get my students to think by asking them why they think what they believe. I see intelligent life at work when the students ask these questions of themselves." Brother Tim Ahern, F.S.C. "Any teacher would hope that their teaching of a particular subject would stimulate thought and challenge their students to think. To me this is an intelligent thing to do. The fact that every student before me chose LaSalle for his secondary education convinces me that I am surrounded by intelligent life." Mr. John Grace "l hope to give my students a real, working sense of how important history is in giving meaning to the present, and that it's a mistake to try to analyze the modern world without using history. Secondly, I am trying to continue to do what LaSalle has done for a long time and that is to rigorously prepare kids for the kind of work that they're going to do in college. LaSalle has been a huge part of my life for over twenty years, as a student and as a teacher, and I've got to say that I'm just trying to make it a better place, in whatever way I can."

Mr. Joseph Colistra: CHAIRPERSON: SOCIAL STUDIES DEPT.; Economics 1, 2 AP; AP American History; Western Civilization

Mr. Martin Jackson "From my educational background at Temple to my teaching of grade school in Kensington, until landing a job here at LaSalle, I have learned to adapt to different situations in life. Therefore, in class, my hope is that my students get a feeling of respect for one another, and an understanding that I care about what they do not only in the classroom but outside the school. I especially want to make them prepared to face that outside world. With history, I believe you can learn a lot about the future and the present, not necessarily just a knowledge of history, but an ability to

adapt to real life, and there certainly is intelligent life among my students."

Mr. Gerald Miller "I try to get my students to look at things in a contemporary way. I also try to 'go beyond' in my classes, to provide freedom in class. To me, history is not just reading the book and doing handouts. My history courses provide good reading and promote writing skills. This will prepare my students for the next level. When students come back to me and say that my class has helped them cope with college, I consider that a compliment. Teaching mostly sophomores, I see them begin my course as kids, and see them leave as intelligent, mature students. From sophomore to senior year, I see huge social and intellectual growth. To me, that's what LaSalle is all about: developing a strong sense of 'Who I am. , " Mr. Joseph Parisi "By asking my students to ask questions I bring intelligence into my classrooms. My asking them questions also helps in learning about some signs of intelligent lifeforms. These questions, I fell, help them to get their own opinions. I see the intelligence in the school in the way in which the students in all my classes think before they ask questions." Mr. Thomas Turner "I try to bring my own life into the classroom. I ask the students to associate not only my experiences but their own towards my teaching. I believe that this is an excellent frame of reference for the students because they can relate more easily to what is being taught. I see intelligent lifeforms throughout the school in the way that the upperclassmen grow from freshmen and the way they interact with their former teachers."

LIBRARY/MINISTRY

Mrs. Joanne Ballod "I hopefully promote intelligence by helping the students find the information they need and advising them about how to look things up for themselves. I try to let them see me reading so that through my example they'll become interested in books. "Just the fact that you're here at LaSalle shows that you possess some intelligence." Brother Joseph Keough, F.S.C. "Most of the students who come to the library are looking for very specific things, although they may express it vaguely, there are very specific ways in which I can help them. Helping these students is necessary because LaSalle is a college preparatory school, and it is a part of our obligation to familiarize them with the type of research that they will be required to

do in college. I think that LaSalle and its students have a lot of potential and that when the new academic wing (with its new Library /Media and Computer centers) is completed, I feel that we will certainly be able to tap that potential."

Brother Henry Werner, F.S.C. "I influence the intelligent life of the school by attempting to provide an atmosphere on the retreats by which the students can search for the TRUTH in themselves. "By being privileged to hear and share so much of the wonderful, unexplained, and surprising mystery and awe that is discovered in each of the students' rich lives as they share their writing, reflection, and meditation with one another on the retreats, I have been able to witness the intelligent life at LaSalle."

Where's the Fourth Floor? rt was September

9, 1990, and the LaSalle was preparing for his first day f high school. He was worried about things ke missing the bus, getting lost, and up,erclassmen. Overall he didn't anticipate an njoyable school year. Brother Robert was waiting outside that ext morning, welcoming everyone back for nother year. Later, in homeroom, the nervus freshman discovered that his fears were hared by his classmates. Many looked as :10ughthey felt out of place. Others related orror stories of how upperclassmen bully :rn "frosh." First period began to weaken those re,orts. In Algebra 2X a few sophomores inroduced themselves, and no one stood out s being particularly antagonizing. Next peiod the freshman entered the typing room nd encountered Brother Linus. Not know1g what to expect, the freshman did as he ,as told (he was a good boy) so he wouldn't et Brother angry. World Cultures followed at third period, ,here Mr. Turner gave his jittery class a kind

I freshman

pep talk. He reminded them that everyone at LaSalle is willing to help them - "all you have to do is ask." Lunch was next, where the freshman sat down at the first empty table. An outgoing classmate joined him and began a conversation, and the freshman realized that many others were in the same situation as he. Fifth period was Religion. Brother Joe Myers reiterated Mr. Turner's comforting words. He helped them to recognize "who you are, where you are, and what you have to do," and told them that LaSalle means learn and not lollygag. Mrs. Canobbio's Biology was next. Initially the 900 page book scared the timid class, but Mrs. Canobbio assured them that they could do well with plenty of studying. Plenty. At seventh period the freshman entered French class. This looked like an impossible course, and Frere Jacques explained that in order to do well they must. be willing to work. Finally at eighth period the freshman had English. For the preceding eight years this had been a very boring course for him. Sud-

denly "Reading" became Mr. Ed McCabe's own literary world, making English a lot more interesting ... and dramatic. Fortunately, the freshman had little homework that first day. Soccer tryouts were after school. After running around the field five times and playing in three games, he was worn out. This seemed to mark the end of his freshman athletic career. On the next day homework began to pour in. The rest of the week continued like that second day, and as the weeks progressed, the freshman grew accustomed to the daily routine and his new workload. He also got involved in extracurricular activities which enabled him to meet other freshmen. Overall, the freshman found that most of his classmates were surprised by the increase in freedom they received compared to grade school. They found both the teachers and students friendly and approachable, for the most part. Freshman year seemed to have definite possibilities. Steve Ponisciak '94

As I get out in front of the school, I scan :he usual cluster of vehicles, searching for :he distinct "rusted" color of our family :ruckster - no sign of her. She must be ,unning a little late; she probably wanted to ::>utmy dinner in the oven before she left. I :an wait a few minutes. A handful of classnates ask me if I want to get into their game Jf suicide, but I pass, explaining how my ride son its way. My watch says 3:00; Ms. Rivers nust be introducing the 900-pound, vegetarian psychic who fell out of an airplane at 35,000 feet by now. I take a disheartened glimpse down the

entrance driveway hoping to see my mother, but all I find are yellow buses. Joey Hicksville boards one of them and smiles tauntingly at me as he leaves the lot. One by one students depart while I'm left waiting. It's now 4:05, and I'm growing very impatient. I know she couldn't have forgotten. I wrote her a note with paper from my homework pad and left it on the kitchen table in full view. Homework should pass some time, so I open my Cliff's Notes about Julius Caesar and read the opening line: FLA VIUS: Hence! Home, you idle creatures, get you home! Hey, I understand what this guy is saying! After reading the first tedious page I close the book, convinced that I had occupied a great deal of time. It's now 4:06 - time sure flies when you're having fun. I missed the Joan Rivers show, but there's still time to see Gorilla Lady (and the men who love

rwant

my mommy!

"I hope I got a quarter in here." her) on Oprah, if mom comes right now. Nearly everyone has left, except the occasional fleeing teacher or hard guy after his workout. Where can she be? It's 5: 15, and all the people who play sports have been picked up already. I'm going to call home. After a minute of searching, I can't seem to find my quarter. I know I had one earlier. Now I remember - I gave it to someone to call his girlfriend at lunch; I gave it to Joey Hicksville! My cries of frustration are halted by the gleam of headlights coming up the driveway. I rush over to my bags only to find it isn't her. I resume my desperate search for $.25. I go down to the vending machines, reach underneath them all, and finally find a dusty quarter. I run to the phones and make a hurried call. I'm going to make her feel so guilty, I think as it rings. I hear a click fol-

am answered with "Pienso que tenga el numero incorrecto." I apologize, reach into the change slot, and only find used gum. "Ahhh, my quarter!" I shout. I stagger out the front door with a feeling of hopelessness. Raising my head, I hear a familiar, repetitive puttering. I look out and see my mom sitting in the wagon. As I get in I ask her in an angry tone, "What took you so long?" The nerve of her not to look even the slightest bit guilty. She explains that she was wondering where I was and decided to see if I was stranded, but insists she never received the note. I get out my homework pad to show her the exact place where I had ripped the page, to prove her wrong. As I find the location, my heart stops as I read a scribbled "pick me up after school today. Jack." still attached. I look at my mom innocently and say "Oops."

The Rite of Passage ll never forget the day two years ago when that great big yellow bus with the funny little driver stopped at my corner to pick me up. As I boarded, a person in the front said, "Great! Another frosh!" I found a seat and sat next to a similarly disturbed and confused freshman. During the next half hour of my onehour journey, all of the sophomores and juniors, along with the one lone senior, made their way to the back of the bus. We freshmen watched with apprehension, not knowing what the upperclassmen (a group which even included sophs) were planning. They sat back there for five minutes plotting their

strategy. Then, a mammoth junior stood up and announced, "Each freshman will come back here, receive a number, and tell the rest of us." Believe me, we were in no position to resist. Each one of us clumsily, fearfully made our way back to this giant's seat. We stated our name, and told them why we chose LaSalle as our high school. We were then made to answer a series of embarrassing questions. After our interview, we were assigned numbers. The ride finally ended ... at least for that morning. In the afternoon, these same upperclassmen piled into the back of the bus

He randomly picked a number, and its frightened freshman owner marched back to his fate. After this rite of passage, we were all accepted as new members of the bus. Now, as a junior, I appreciate the bus for the many survival skills it has taught me. And I have had the opportunity to initiate some freshmen in my time as well. Mike Magro '92

For those ignoramuses who don't understand, I allude to the opposite gender. The part of humanity we all find entrancing, mysterious and "oh" so tender. On the first day of school when you sat at your desk, you thought you'd go out of your mind. No matter your search in every classroom and hallway, not a girl your age would you find. Sure there are females throughout the school, but they're teachers, assistants and such. You can't ask them out,

they're as old as your parents, and I don't think they'd like it too much. Now the first day is over, you are sad and distraught, while riding home on the bus. It stops at the Mount, and you think to yourself, "Maybe they'll sit next to us." You spring out a novel to exhibit your intellect the one about Odysseus' quest. But you don't even notice it's held upside-down, and nary a girl is impressed. For the next few weeks you continue with life, recalling the past few days. Trying hard to convince your academic self, that it's only a teenage phase. You attend your first mixer and your anguish subsides,

you relax and try to be cool. But when a slow song begins, you lower your head and act like a wall- flowering fool. "What will I do if I meet a girl, whom my friends and I all like. I don't have a car, so when we go out, she'll have to ride on my bike." You must understand in a logical way, why LaSalle is only for "man." But I have no reasons to ponder now, as to why the female ban. And so I leave you with one last question that's driving me out of my head: "Why on earth would anyone choose a school that's not co-ed?" Jack Bush '91

''Don't I Look 17?'' nce you become a sophomore, you really begin to think that you're hot stuff. There exists a species of studentia that you may now, according to school tradition, pick on. Of course I'm referring to that barrel of monkeys known as the freshmen. In fact, I believe in some obscure lndo-Anglo-Scandanavian language, the word "sophomore" means "one with inflated ego." Nothing can stop you in the 10th grade - except the ticket seller at the movies. There you are, in front of all your peers, when you ask the cashier for tickets. "Two for Misery," you say. Embarrassment reigns as the ticket lady says, "I think you're a little late for that," and then giggles at her weak attempt at humor. Getting desperate, you respond with, "Yeah, whatever. Listen, I just want to buy a couple of tickets. Here's my money." The situation climaxes with this

complete stranger admonishing you: "Sorry, dear, but you have to be 17 to see that movie." That distant chuckling behind you in line maximizes the humiliation. There are many tactics you may employ to beat the system and watch your choice of films full of sex and violence. Use them at your own discretion: 1) Always surround yourself with the AURA of being 17. Wear dark sunglasses. This may bring some looks at 10 p.m., but hey, you'll get in. Also, never be afraid to use sophisticated words like "squalor" or "quixotic." They'll be blown away. 2) Lie. This is a given: say anything that will get you in. You can go to confession later. Try lines like: ''I'm doing a review for my school newspaper," "I'm being chased by a pack of homicidal camels who are naturally afraid of Stephen King flicks," or, my

personal favorite, 'Tm your new supervisor, and I was giving you a chance to do some free brown-nosing." 3) Debate the situation. Waste a few minutes complaining to your nemesis. In an annoying tone, whine: "Are you saying I'm not mature enough to see this movie? Should I take this as a personal affront to my good name? What about you? Are you mature enough to have this high- powered job? Did it require detective school training?" By now the person is so embarrassed and aggravated that entrance is almost assured. 4) Ask to see the manager. When he or she arrives, refer to rule #2: lying. Say that you were trying to get a ticket to Bambi and the attendant started pestering you. Then promise to begin a boycott of the theater by you and your friends. 5) Hypnotize. It is very tricky but both of

r..f ave

Rescuers,

you leave feeling, well, wonderful about life. 6) Use your charm (if available). Ask the ticket seller out on a date. Take care, though, if this cashier is a guy, because he may mistake you for someone who goes to that other prep school. 7) Give bribes. Say: "I know how much they pay you, and I'll double it. Here's three bucks." 8) When all else fails, ask an older person to buy the tickets for you. This is a little degrading, but worth it. Obviously, to be a successful sophomore, you have to be cocky, egotistical, and never wrong. Hopefully this list of techniques brings you closer to capturing the essence of sophomore-hood. Or, at least you'll get to see a few good movies. Joe Zalewski '93

Stirring it up

arefully and thoroughly planned by the Student Council in each of the last few years, at least one Friday night of every month LaSalle becomes packed with girls, the hallway windows fog, and music blares throughout the school. It is on these nights that S.A.D.D. displays signs that read, "Stay alive, don't drink and drive!" These nights provide wonderful chances to meet new people, to wear normal teenage clothes, and to have fun. These are Mixer nights! Students attend LaSalle mixers from a variety of schools. Guest schools include the Mount, Gwynedd-Mercy, McDevitt, Abington, and Springfield. Most students dance, but others just bounce from one side of the auditorium

don, to yell to - their old and new friends. Music for the most part consists of modern dance, new wave, heavy metal, and rap, with a touch of classic rock. Featured often are groups like the Cure, Madonna, AC/DC, MC Hammer, the Romantics, and (maybe someday) Pink Floyd or Jimmy Buffett. Generally, such a variety allows for a good time despite musical preference. Basically, a student can have fun doing anything at a mixer. If he wants to dance, he can. If he wants to make out with his girlfriend (within certain obvious limitations), he can. If he just wants to be with his friends, he can. Students who have fun lives at LaSalle go to Mixers!

pecific styles of clothing, of speaking, or of jewelry characterize certain groups of people. Scottish men are known for the kilts they wear, while sombreros are indicative of Mexicans. Signs of another's style define students at LaSalle with one's quick glimpse into the hallway. You can't help but notice the distinctive sculptings of the "common" haircuts. At LaSalle, a popular hairdo is the Guido (say "gwee-doh"). At least 50% of our freshmen and sophomores tend to favor this style. Unfamiliar with the details of the Guido, I turned to a Northeast Philadelphian expert who supplied information about the basic Guido and its variations. The most prevalent Guido is the "brain- freeze" type, where the sides of the head are shaved and the leftover

hair on top is spiked. Mutations of this theme include shaving the sides and combing the top, and adding a cute little tail in the back (reserved for the tough Guidos), modifications which are equally respectable. Common in the suburbs is the "bowl cut." Imagine placing a mixing bowl on someone's head and snipping the hair that sticks out, so that the effect makes one look taller (if not like Mary Lou Retton). Based on the bowl cut is the "pasta head," whose owners must spend hours curling the bowl-cut hair. Some highly creative individuals combine both the bowl cut and the Guido cut, thus achieving the "frisbee-head" look. Left out of these illustrations are the pitsters, who have their own fashion savvy. In the pit long hair is vogue. They treat their

hair with affection, even if it doesn't seem like they wash it often. The pitsters also talk about their tresses as if they were separate entities. The only diversity in these cuts is the length itself. The last hairstyle seen at LaSalle is the grade school cut, parted mundanely on the side. This old- fashioned method is worn by the majority of students here. They are the control against which the Guido, bowl, and pitster cuts can be measured. All of these cuts display originality, showing those around us who we are and who we want to be. And why was that musical "Hair" such a big deal? Matt McElvenny '91

nce a custom reserved for procrastinators, last- minute reading has become a very Jopular practice lately. Some people usually :lon't wait until the last minute to read somehing, but for many others this is a common 路outine. I am one of those who made this activity 1 habit for years. There are many reasons for not reading a Jook until the night before the due date. La'.iness isn't always the only one. For me, the :act that the book won't be due for two whole Neeks makes it very difficult to begin immedi1tely. I'll forget the opening anyway if I start ~arly. So I wait. There are other advantages of delaying. Af:er a while the teacher assumes we had enough ,ense to start reading the book, so he talks about :he first few chapters in class. That's a few :hapters I don't have to read now. The book

Get Me Cliff

suddenly seems a lot shorter, making me feel better about the impending due date. Unfortunately, the book is usually so boring that I fall asleep while desperately trying to plow through it. When I wake up, I don't want to read any more. So I put it down until later. In the meantime, while we literary geniuses happen to be in our favorite bookstore looking through novels, we see an overwhelming yellow display in the back of the room. Cliff's Notes are never our main purpose for cruising to Encore, but the bold advertising compels us to buy a copy. We never mean any harm. Cliff's Notes were designed to help students understand novels AFTER actually reading the novel. This seems like a good intention, but when I compare the length of the Cliff's Notes and the real book (considering the lack of time remaining till D-day), the abbreviated version looks

a lot more appealing. This yellow text now resides with the original copy until the night before the test. If I wasn't going to start reading the actual novel early, why hurry and read the Cliff's Notes? Alloting enough time to do other homework and think of more excuses about why I shouldn't read the book, I read the summary during homeroom on the day it's due (or at lunchtime if the test is in the afternoon). Any unmentioned details can be filled in by other students (all four of them) whose books had actually been opened. Basically there are many ways around doing work. Sometimes it's even possible to get by (not necessarily pass, though) without even buying the novel. But in the end, reading the whole thing is usually worth the time and effort. Ultimately, a more intelligent choice! Ed Pratowski '91

Almost Done I'.

Jhile attempting to explain human nature, ~ a wise man developed the adage, "To err is human." These words pertain to every facet of life, yet they seem to be most pertinent to the junior in high school. It is not fair to say that juniors err more than others, but we are presented with more opportunities to make errors. The academic and athletic skills are tested by teachers, coaches, and test coordinators more than in any other year. The pressure to perform is laid on juniors. It is the end of "Easy Street." Juniors are not only given the opportunity to show what we don't know, but more importantly what we do know. The PSAT and the SAT tests don't leave a whole lot of room for error for those trying to get into the "college of their choice." Yet, these tests let it be known that there is a good deal of intelligent life rambling through the back-pack-infested halls of

LaSalle. Many consider junior year to be the most demanding year in high school. Some students may choose to be hard on themselves and carry a heavy workload, and others may defer the electives and take a breather. We have to worry about our grades and extra-curricular activities at the same time that Hester Prynne is condemned to wear the "Scarlet Letter." Juniors must also work with shapes. We are forced to say why something is a triangle when by looking at it we all know it is a triangle. Most students are content to stick with the shapes that they blow into in the band room or throw around on the playing field. The rigors of academics are only a portion of the overall scheme of the junior. The other dimensions are not as foreboding. Most juniors gain a decent amount of freedom with the acquisition of a driver's license. Once we pass the test, if we have access to a set of wheels, our

whole lives are changed. The student no Ions has to bum rides home from school, to the b, games, or to any social gathering. Dependi on the strictness of the parental unit, the censed driver now has substantial control o, his social life. However, the license also ad to the responsibilities of the student. We mt use our intelligence to remember to lock t doors without leaving the keys in the igniti and be aware of the state trooper when cruisi in excess of 55 mph. We also become respc sible for giving people rides to school and n ning errands for our parents. Some juniors get through the year by re izing that they are almost seniors and are SL posedly no longer naive like they were as fre: men and sophomores. We have become part the "upper-underclassmen." We take pride being more intelligent than we were in the fi: half of high school.

Junior year is also the last chance to enjoy gym with "T" and swim laps in pool class. Elev路 enth grade gives way to more involvement in the school by the opportunity to be a leader of the students in student council or in any of a number of clubs. Each junior receives his class ring in December. Some students are rewarded for their hard work and service with varsity let路 ters in their respective activities. Another spe路 cial thing about being a junior is attending the Junior Prom. On this night, we rent a tuxedo and take our date to the dance, getting a sneak preview of the heralded Senior Prom. All in all, the experiences in eleventh grade become a basis for a LaSalle student's future. We begin to put everything together that we have learned at LaSalle and outside of school, and eventually turn into the beings which can be identified as truly intelligent life forms. John Gorman '92

Five Pages Due Monday ow many times have you looked at the clock on Sunday after watching Married With Children or the late football game and suddenly remembered that you have to write a 5page paper for Monday? It's happened many times, right? You had been given a week-and-ahalf to research, write, and revise your paper. At first you thought, "Aah, it's not due until next week; I'll get it done in a few days." By the end of the week, you had forgotten entirely about the paper beca.use the teacher had already assigned other homework. At the end of class on Friday, your teacher reminded the class that the paper must be handed in on Monday. You weren't worried, though, you still had the weekend to finish the paper. Friday night you decided to go out with your friends instead of working on the paper. "It's 0.K.," you thought at the

ne, "I'll do it on Saturday." Saturday morning, you ate three )Wis of Fruit Loops while watching )Ur favorite cartoons and pro-wresing. You realized a big college football 1atch-up was on TV, but you still tried , get some work done during com1ercials and half-time. The game was a thriller, so any work 1at you completed was minimal. After .nner, you decided to sacrifice your >ciallife for an evening, and do some ork. However, your girlfriend called , inform you that her parents were 1t for the night and that you should )me over right away. On Sunday, you woke up late. You iad the paper and prepared to enjoy 1epro-football games on TV. The fiveaper was in the back of your mind. inally, after Fox Television's Sunday ght line-up, you began work on your test masterpiece. You ignored the

clock and just typed until your mind was exhausted. You were beginning to write your conclusion, but you noticed that your computer had frozen. "Oh no! I'll have to start over." You then checked the time, and saw it was 1:07 A.M. Not enough time to rewrite the paper. "Hopefully I have a back-up file," you muttered under your breath, panic-stricken. Luckily you did, and you soon finished writing the paper. Armed with a dictionary and a pen, you then started the editing process. Fatigue took over at around 2:15 A.M., but you got most of the paper proofread. You awoke disoriented with your head on the keyboard, letters embedded on your face. The clock said 7:45 A.M. - just in time to go to school and hand in your masterpiece. Mike Cunningham '91

Excuse Me? It's 11 o'clock on a Tuesday night, and you realize that you have a 5-page paper due on the mating habits of the firefly and a major test on a book in English that you haven't even bothered to get yet. It's a Wednesday night after a long shift at work, and you calculate that in between school and work you have been averaging 4 hours of sleep. It's a beautiful Thursday morning in early spring, and you can't remember the last day that the weather's been so nice. You ask, "What do these three things have in common?" Any experienced LaSalle student knows that these are three perfect reasons to take a "personal holiday" from school. There is an unwritten rule at LaSalle, that, in order to maintain sanity and a positive

outlook on life, a LaSalle student is obliged to take at least 3 personal holidays each year. Students can take as many of these days as they want, until Mr. Parisi catches on. Failure to act on this God-given right to a day off can be punished by poor grades or maybe even an actual illness. Plus, missing such a golden opportunity is a downright shame. So now that you've convinced yourself that you richly deserve a personal holiday, the only problem that remains is convincing your parents. Well, my advice to you is to try to con your parents into thinking that "personal holidays" is a practice accepted and encouraged at LaSalle, and let them worry about the excuse. This makes it easier when you need a day off and don't feel like thinking of a creative excuse. But if that doesn't work, here are a few suggestions in case of emergency.

FAKE SICKNESS: good excuse, one th can be used many times over. Be careful th. this isn't overused, and make sure that pattern doesn't develop (cold every Frida stomach virus every Monday). Stay aw, from exotic sounding ailments, this may cau: unneeded questions. Personally, I think "f ver" works the best. It's short and to tr point ... and believable. WEATHER PROBLEM: if it snow sleets, or even rains real hard, this excu: is the best one for LaSalle. The people the attendance office will never question ar weather-related excuse. That's why LaSal closes so easily when it snows, because evE if it did open, nobody would show up, e pecially these guys from Doylestown. FAMILY EMERGENCY: A more co1 plicated excuse, definitely not for any novi, excuse-makers. Be sure to use the idea

family unity and give a long-winded story that requires you to stay home to help out. ("My mom broke her leg and I have to stay home for six weeks while it heals" is a classic example.) It is important that the tale arouses pity from the attendance office, but doesn't overdo it. Too much sympathy may result in a phone call home, an unfortunate error. TRANSPORTATION DIFFICULTIES: a great excuse if it is used correctly. Often times though, people resort to this one after all options are exhausted. This has ruined this excuse from routine use because it automatically brings suspicion from the attendance office. But, if you can come up with a creative enough sequence of events, this has been known to work. (My car wouldn't start, and my Dad's in Ontario, and my Mom has the flu, and my phone blacked out so I couldn't call anyone else for a ride.)

OTHER CREATIVE EXCUSES: 1) "My brother's hamster died overnight and I was trying to console him." 2) "It was the first day of bear season and 'me and Pa' went ahuntin'." 3) "I overslept and figured, 'why bother?' " 4) Any excuse that takes longer than ten minutes to explain. 5) "Honest, I got lost." 6) Whine about a personal tragedy (car stolen, house burned down, plane crash, world hunger). 7) "I got the letter days confused and I thought we had off." 8) "I was working the soup kitchen for the poor, so I figured that you wouldn't mind my being absent." 9) Tell the truth, they'll never believe you. So no matter what the problem, or lack thereof, it can all be made better with a refreshing holiday. As a matter of fact, I think I'm about due for another one. Brian McDermott '91

Finally, the bell freed me from this hellish English class. Hurrying to my locker, I accidentally tripped, further postponing my experience. As I raced down the hall, I could feel my pulse increase rapidly. The gym door was open, letting the sounds of wanna-be athletes escape loudly. A few feet more and I started to smell the perspiration, hear the sneaker-squeaks, and feel the aura of open gym. It was crowded, full of kids large and small. Awestruck at the size of it, my mouth was a haven for flies. Banners of Catholic League championships draped the walls, adding to its mystique. Suddenly, my dream was shattered as someone screamed "Help!" about two feet from my face. Thud! "Spalding" was

Drawing Up Plans For Success Art Club Signs Their Masterpieces

he Art Club, under the guidance of Diane McGovern, helps to provide a cultural side to LaSalle's after school activities. The Art Club is tailored to students who have an appreciation for the fine arts, and those who want to try their hand at various artistic mediums. Once a week, the Art Club meets after school for two to three hours of creativity and in路 spiration. Each session is dedicated to a different medium such as clay sculpture, pastels, watercolor, or pen and ink. In addition to these normal projects, the Art Club also has field trips to local galleries, and holiday meetings which incorporate seasonal themes into artwork. The most impressive of these seasonal ven路 tures is the annual production of the official LaSalle Christmas card. The Art Club also has a hand in

two more annual events, the first of which is the Open House. It is up to the members of the Art Club to make sure the school is properly decorated to receive the pro路 spective students and their parents on November 11th in a way that reflects the spirit of LaSalle. The second event is the Spring Arts Festival, held this year during the week of April 29th. This is the time that the students in art classes and in the Art Club get to display the pieces they have worked hard on throughout the school year, and gain recognition for their accomplishments. During the Art Festival there are typically demonstrations or lectures by professional artists which are open to the entire student body. By organizing such events, the Art Club helps provide a refreshing break from the typical school week, while exhibiting their own unique Signs of Intelligent Life.

Mrs. Diane McGovern guides the Art Club members in their artful endeavors.

own in the depths of the . school. building, beyond the Dining Hall and Boiler Room, lies the La Salle Band Room, a myste· rious dwelling place for the living soul of the La Salle music pro· gram. All of the musical spirit originates and flows from here, where the students use their ere· ative intelligence to display a va· riety of musical sounds.and styles. It's easy to recognize a member of the Band, because he's either carrying his instrument, in which case it's just a little obvious, or he's demonstrating his creativity and individuality, where it's al· most equally obvious. Sure, the students in the Band might be a little different, but what's wrong with being zany? After all, there have been many famous people such. as Sigmund Freud, Vincent Van Gogh, and Steve Vai, who were thought to be crazy because they were a .·little different. And the La Salle Band is indubitably diverse, considering the numerous ensembles that ex· ist within the music department: Freshmen, Jazz/Dixieland, Com· petition, Intermediate, Stage, Pep, and Concert bands, Guitar ensemble, Brass Choir, and Vocal Ensemble. (Hey! whatever hap· pened to the "Marching Band"?!) Considering such variety of musical life, Mr. Joseph Cicci· maro, the Band Director, has his hands full developing the creativ· ity and musical abilities of his stu· dents. To keep himself from going totally insane, Mr. ".C" has ere· ated a democratic system in which the students elect their leaders. These officers take on many of the responsibilities of the Band, as well as organizing· many of the activities the Band takes part in .. This past year,· the stu· dents elected Dan Rakowski as

Dan Rakowski plays "Taps" the Egan game:

their president, and Jim Sigmund and Chris Bonner as vice·presi· dents. Dan and his "ensemble" have led the Band with much success through several events this year. Some of these include perfor· mances at the Summer Fling at the Flander's Hotel in Ocean City, NJ, The President's Dinner, the Beef and Beer night, Open House, the annual Christmas and Spring Concerts, countless elementary and secondary school concerts, weekly appearances at La Salle football games in the winter, and just about any other schoolaffair imaginable. Wherever the Band may be, it always brings life to the occasion. Often, several students find themselves "living" in the Band room~ because they're so busy with Band-related events. This is hardly a punishment, however, as the room abounds with possibili~ ties .for the "creative" and "intel· ligent" mind. Music constantly blares from an incredible stereo system, for the listening pleasure. In the lounge, a few students watch a movie or some Bugs Bun· ny cartoons. A Jam session takes place whenever a few people get together to play. One or two might find it necessary to practice the piece that they "butchered" in class today. And the truly creative minds do the unavoidable home· work that's due tomorrow. During the .school day, each class meets in the Band room for one period. Often stud.ents give up · their lunch period in order to play, but it's. all for the sake of Music. (A true sign of devotion, or insanity, depending on your point of view).

Of course, not every one in the Band can call himself a virtuoso. Some even enter the Band with no prior.musical experience; Fo.r this reason, weekly private lessons are offered to each student by the Band. faculty, to introduce students· to an enriched musical life. Mr. Gene Ciccimaro teaches Clari· net ·and other reed instruments. Mr. J.oe Vettori instructs the saxo· phone players. Pat Mercuri acts as guitar, bass, and music theory teacher. Mr. Rocco Bene gives trumpet lessons. Mr. Joe Nero teaches the drummers to stay in time. ·Mr. Rich Genovese trains ··.trombone students. And Mrs. Paulette Kensey is the piano instruc· tor.

This vari·. ance among the.musical interests of each student produces a unique sound for a very. unique band. Perhaps one of the largest, and certainly one.of the busiest activi· ties at La Salle, the Band creates a true sign of family and friendship among members. They help Qne another play· to their fullest, and to be the best they can be. A clear sign of intelligence lies within the very walls of the Band room, reaching out to the creative minds oftomorrow, and creating a living source of expression found no , where else butin. the art of music. Where some may see music as merely entertainment, the La Salle Band views music as the me· dium through which one c.an express his inner self to the world. In the words of guitarist Rik Emmit, "It's not just a game of notes, .it's the sound within your soul." And it's the soul that's alive within each of the Band members that creates the musical environment for La Salle. - Fran Sheridan, '91 & Joe Cieplinski, '92

Theatre Hopefuls Rehearse for Rave Reviews most students try out for W hen a high school show, they assume that it is going to be a "big production." This past year, however, LaSalle's Fall Theatre took on a different look, breaking away from "traditional" theatre. The fall show evolved into a theatre workshop for all involved, blending actors' skills, student scripts, and multi-directed skits. In the first few weeks of practice, the sizeable cast (which included Robin Campbell, Crissy Fecak, Jeanine O'Brien, Jon Walheim, Gerry White, Tim Micsko, Jenn Tietjen, Mike Scarcelle, and Meg McElroy) brainstormed, discussed, argued, and ultimately, collaborated upon an idea, a presentation and a weird, metaphorical title: TRICK OR TREAT. Written exclusively by students, the show dealt with many current teenage problems and dilemmas, ranging in topics from loneliness and friendship, to success and failure, to life and death. With senior John Trainer managing, students alone handled the back stage work and on-stage sets. John was capably assisted by Scott Hagelin with all lighting, while Eric Link, Dan Barbalace, and John Bodden expertly imple-

mented microphone placement and usage to ensure good stage sound. Under the overseeing direction of Mrs. Colleen Durkin Lapowsky and Mr. John Grace, the show resulted in an enjoyable and educational - experience for all involved. The cast and crew learned not only about the intricacies of making theatre work, but also about their own talents, skills, and communication strengths and weaknesses clearly a sign of intelligent people proving capable of achieving a common goal. This enriching experience, combining talent, intelligence, and the spirit of cooperation, signals much promise for the life of future theatre productions at LaSalle. -

Spring Theatre Inside West Side

at do you get when you mix the music of Leonard Bernstein, the words of Arthur Laurents, the direction of Colleen Durkin·Lapowski, the cho· reography of Arlene Conti, and a highly talented group of high school stu· dents? You get an American musical classic: West Side Story. In honor of the late Leonard Bernstein, the La Salle Theatre decided to perform West Side Story. Bernstein is well-respected and widely recognized for his remarkable achievements in musical composition, and West Wide Story is one of his most famous scores. The show is about two lovers, Tony and Maria (played, respectively, by La Salle senior Chris Bonner and Girls High's Casey McShain), who are torn apart by ignorance, fear, and racial dif· ferences. The couple meet at a dance but are forbidden to be together be· cause of the hatred between Whites and Hispanics. This tension is magnified by the feud between the lovers' gangs, the Jets and the Sharks. Throughout the play the animosity between the two sides escalates. At first they act tough and fight only ver· bal battles. Then a war council is called and a rumble planned. What begins as a dance ends with the death of the two

gang leaders, Riff, played by Jim McNamee, and Bernardo, played by Fred Dini. Such tragic events multiply until the climactic death of Tony. West Side Story operates on other levels of meaning as well. It shows how the hostility of adults can corrupt their children. This terrible legacy surfaces in Action, portrayed by Jon W alheim, whose psychotically aggressive atti· tude encourages the racial hatred. Ba· by John, played by Tim Micsko, is a young boy who observes yet, symboli· cally, never understands the antipathy. Anybodys, played by Robin Campbell, is a girl who pathetically tries to act tough because of peer pressure. And Anita, played by Maura Schorpp, be· comes bitter and resentful due to the conflict. Even though the show had such sad messages, working to create it proved to be an enjoyable experience. The cast began practice in January and worked diligently to be able to put on a well· synchronized and memorable perform· ance. With one of the best casts to hit the La Salle stage, West Side Story dis· played the talents of all involved. Sure· ly Bernstein would have been proud. Tim Micsko '92

The potential was there for a return to this prominence, but some hard work would have to be done. Guidance from some ex· . cellent coaches, like Joe. McMahon and Brother Michael Tidd, along with .Brother Rene's exper· • ience and a dedicated group of students, paid divi· dends for the Forum. Brian McDermott, Fred Dini, · and Jol10 Randazzo held the positions of presi· dent, vice-president, and secretary, respectively. These three, along with fellow senior Larry Harbi· .son, anchored a young team.. Juniors Charles King, Jim Wickersham, Tom West, and John Bod· den each made notable contr:ibutions. Other strong underclassmen staffed this team as well, and Dave Rafferty, John Dilenno, Dan Barbalace, Joe Golderer, Marc Goldbacher, and Chris Paul all had. successful years.

Engaged in the Great Debate The forensics season lasts from September un· tiJ May, and almost every weekend the Forum rolled off to a tournament in some exotic location. Whether it was New York, Boston, or Shikellamy, PA(?), they gave it their al). They get respect not only from their faithfulness to practices or their many victories, but also for their endurance in spending so much time in the elegant comfort of the school vans. Seriously though, it is doubtful you could find clearer indications of applied intel· Jigence anywhere in school. Some of them act out plays or poems, others give speeches on peris· troika and the Persian Gulf, and stiU others de· bate such issues as the United States' policies on space, education, or the environment. Each mem· ber displays his unique talents and usually, in a word, wins{ The Forum this past year saw a transition to a new leader although maintaining annual success. Increased participation and solid, returning "word"·men mark the signs of good things to come in the future. LaSalle's most expressive stu· dents have displayed, in th.e words of Brother Rene, "a plethora of cerebral activity", and should be, without debate, considered pros.

Mathletes

Keep on Counting

+, -,, -;-, and = are some of the symbols with which Mathletes spend Saturday mornings once a month. At LaSalle living the life of a numbers whiz means being a "Mathlete". They are prodigies who try to expand their mathematical aptitudes exponentially under the tutelage of Mr. James Roche and Mr. John Frizolone. Once a month they give up (watching) their Saturday morning (cartoons) to test their intelligence against students from other local schools. The" co-presidents" of the Mathletes (all the senior members - Rob Blasi, Mark Campbell, Mike Cunningham, Sean Donnelly, Sean Hendrick, and Khoa Nguyen - we're mathematical, not hierarchical) provide the team leadership. The signs of intelligence in these dedicated students come out in their love of math brain-twisters - and their hunger for free donuts. Another group that enjoys mixing binomials and breakfast are the under-

class members of the Mathlete squad. Led by those incredible brothers Shah, Ojas and Amol, the underclassmen make up the backbone of the team. The seniors may have more advanced classes than the underclassmen, but integral calculus does not help you add apples and oranges. Although the official Mathletes compete Saturday, you too could be a Mathlete without knowing it. To see if you are a Mathlete answer these questions: 1. Have you ever been asked to take a math contest in class? (Yes, they all make us take them.) 2. Did you do well on that contest? If you answered "yes" to the second question, then you are a Mathlete because your score could have been sent in to the contest officials, with Your name on it. YOU, a Mathlete, live with that.

Sean Donnelly says, "I factor, therefore, I am."

Giving a Helping Hand

his year the LaSalle Community Service Corps was fortunate enough to have strong leadership in the form of President Rob Blasi, Vice· President John Trainer, and Secretary/ Treasurer Will Spearing. Mr. Alfred Puntel and Mr. Michael Ponisciak con· tinued their unfaltering commitment to community service as faculty moder· ators for the organization. LaSalle's Community Service Corps divided their efforts among six different programs. Each program was organized and run completely by its own senator, with the CSC President, VicePresident, Secretary /Treasurer, and Moderators serving as monitors to ensure the success of each program. Operation: Incentive was LaSalle's ef· fort to encourage the learning and intellectual development of grade school children. Each week LaSalle students left for Holy Family Grade School in Roxborough. Once there they tutored the grade-school children in basic sub· jects such as Math and English, and helped the children out with any other

problems they might have been having. With his calming influence, Senator Bill Molinari ensured that LaSallian in· telligent life perpetuated itself through this sharing of knowledge. Operation: Elderly was a program where LaSalle students visited elderly shut-ins at Mount St. Joseph's Villa. Many of the residents at the Villa, in· eluding retired sisters and Christian Brothers, appreciated the weekly visits and found it a comfort that they were not forgotten. Elderly's senator, John Trainer, demonstrated the prime characteristic of LaSalle's dominant intelligent life form: the ability to handle both an office and a senator position simultaneously, and he excelled at both. Operation: Swim, led by Chris Ober· holzer, was a large program that brought together students from LaSalle, Archbishop Ryan, Bishop McDevitt, Mount St. Joseph's, Gwynedd-Mercy Academy, and St. Basil's Academy to teach inner-city grade school children how to swim. More important than

Corps Looking For a Few Good Men imparting basic swimming skills, the high school students served as role models for the younger children, giving them someone to look up to. Amnesty International was the LaSallian branch of the international organization for the promotion of political free· dom. Under the leadership of Mrs. Muriel Mehr and Senator Brian Carr, LaSalle students met to discuss the world geopolitical situation and write letters on behalf of political prisoners in Third World countries. Operation: Santa Claus was a massive gift-giving effort coordinated by the CSC's Central headquarters. LaSalle served on a local level, assigning two children to each homeroom and then making the homeroom responsible for the fund-raising and purchasing of gifts 'or underprivileged city children. Once

the gifts were bought by the home· room, they were collected and sent to St. Basil's Academy, for the traditional LaSalle-St. Basil's Wrapping Party, where students wrapped gifts and separated them according to family. On ·Christmas Eve, teams of LaSalle students dressed as Santa Claus drove to each family's home and delivered the gifts. The CSC's spring Breadbasketba/1 collection, this year co-organized by Spe· cial Events Senator Will Spearing and Tournament Senator Rob Blasi, was part of a city-wide effort to raise food and money for people in need. Homerooms competed against each other to see who could collect the most food. Highpoints of this year's Breadbasketball effort included a Basketball Tournament with Gwynedd-Mercy Acade-

my, a Volleyball Tournament with St. Basil's Academy, and another Volley· ball Tournament solely for LaSalle students and faculty. LaSalle's CSC expanded its efforts this year to include a Street Outreach program to provide food and informa· tion for the homeless in Philadelphia, and an environmental program: S.A. V.E. - Students Against Violations to the Environment. The CSC's motto this year was: "Get involved!" A simple message, but it re· vealed a lot about LaSalle's school community. We care about the world around us, and the CSC gave us the op· portunity to make a difference in the community through our actions. -

Black Student Union Peace uring the past school year La Salle's B.S.U., Black Student Union, has become greatly signif· icant in the community. As determination and leadership have increased in this expanding or· ganization, so have productivity and acceptance. In many ways the B.S.U. has re· mained the same due to previous success. Mr. Joe Parisi and Mr. Tom Turner are still both actively involved in the group as moder· ators. Open gym nights were planned to amass recognition and support, as were trips to Sixers games. The homeless drive for clothes and toiletries was again effective. And February, Black History Month, gave the B.S.U. an opportunity to educate La Salle about the past accomplishments

in the Black community. With these successes in mind, new leaders and prospectives brought the association even more distinction. The combined efforts of president Geoff Crawford and vice-president Bill Nichols have proved very fruitful in the opera· tion of the B.S.U. this year. The B.S.U. joined forces with the C.S.C. on some projects to better serve the community. Also, Mr. Michael Dolan assisted the club as a co-moderator. One of Geoff's key concerns has been to put good ideas into action as quickly as possible. Because of this conscientious nature and a lot of hard work, the 1990·91 B.S.U. has made more of a positive im· pact than ever before. Bill Nichols '92

Mock Trial LS Law n 1991, the Pennsylvania Mock Trial Competition proved very successful for La Salle. Led by Mr. Dennis Blob, moderator, and Mr. Michael Cassidy, lawyer-adviser, the participants underwent an in· valuable experience that they will never forget. Trying a case in front of an actual judge in an actual courtroom gave each member of the team a firsthand look at the preparation and execution of a trial. A Mock Trial team consists of three lawyers and two witnesses. Each school is required to try a case once as the prosecution and then as the defense. This year, re· turning members of the team were seniors Mike Cunningham, Quin· tin Mecke, Michael Mullen, Mike

Sinopoli, and Scott Wimmer. New members included seniors Chris Dezzi, Joe McNichol, and Jeff Timinski, and junior Fred Sapp. The team prepared their case for several weeks, brainstorming ideas and practicing their opening and closing arguments, direct and cross examinations, witness responses, etc., until their trial date at the Norristown courthouse. There they performed brilliantly. Participating in a trial under re· al conditions gave the team worthwhile training in prepara· tion, speech, etiquette, and quick· thinking skills. It was an incredible experience that each member will value through his life. Mike Sinopoli '91

Gazebo The Perfect Publication or over a quarter of a cen· tury, LaSalle's literary mag· azine, the Gazebo, has presented various and unique student offer· ings in fine arts, narrative, poetry, and essay. This year's publication proved no exception, as modera· tor Mr. Michael O'T oole helped motivate, refine, and fuse the abundant artistic talents of the student body of LaSalle. The Ga· zebo draws its life from the pool of imaginative efforts of students in the creative writing classes and art classes, as well as from other contributors throughout the school. The magazine offers students "an opportunity to think critical· ly, think critically again, and to express that critical thinking,"

"l know he won't like it, I'm go· ing to have to do another draft."

says the bearded overseer. Revi· sion becomes the most important process in this, LaSalle's most public collection of literary work. The final product of this year's Gazebo evolved from thinking, drafting, discussing, re· thinking, second (and third, and ... ) draft· ing, more discussing, and ... well, you get the picture. The finished work exalted the finest of our school and presented the student body a diverse and original vol· ume of stories, poems, and art work of which they could be proud. The Gazebo, LaSalle's most ex· pressive sign of intelligence, once again declares the LaSalle stu· · dent's creative talents, developed skills, and powerful imagination. Mike Cunningham '91

Bike Club Putting Their Mettle to the Pedal ve been riding in the passenger seat of this van for quite some time alongside of Brother Joe Myers, and still there is no sign of our three renegade bike riders to· day. The trio started up again af· ter lunch three hours ago, and we let them get a head start before we took off behind them. Now I think Brother Joe wishes that he hadn't given them that much time. It doesn't seem possible that they could have gotten that far ahead. I find it hard to believe that these three bikers could be going that fast, considering that they've already ridden seventy miles to· day. I'd be lucky to make thirty, which is why I'm sitting in the van, and not on a bike seat. I usually don't ride on days when they go this far; I just tag along for moral support. Anyway, if they're still going so fast, I don't think they'll have any problem finishing the entire course today. The route itself con· sists of one large circle, beginning and ending at La Salle, with one hundred and four miles (or what· ever Brother Joe's new goal is) of long road in between. All three of these guys tackling this challenge have been rigorously training on individual parts of it. All of their hard work seems to have paid off. "Well now, there they are," says Brother Joe rather calmly. "It's good that they stayed together." And sure enough, our three he· roes materialize in front of us, about a quarter-mile ahead of us,

still riding steadily. In other cas· es, faster·paced riders would pull ahead of the others, making it dif· ficult for Brother Joe to keep track of them all. These three, however, seem to be keeping pace with each other. That's the intel· ligent thing to do. If you ride at a different pace than everyone else, you end up riding alone, which can be suicidal to your morale at such a great distance. Riding together seems to have kept their spirit very much alive. As we ride past them they shout and cheer themselves on. Just as we begin to lose sight of them be· hind us, they begin squirting each other with their water bottles. Brother Joe lets out a quick laugh and says, "Now they're getting silly. After seventy miles or so you just begin to get silly." Silly or not, there's no sign of any loss of en· ergy throughout the day for these three bikers. Months of training were definitely worth it. When we've gotten a good dis· tance in front of them, we pull over to the side of the road and get out to applaud them as they pass, and to ask if there are any problems, such as a flat tire. They appear again over the horizon, approach· ing at a rapid speed. As they get within earshot, Brother Joe calls out to them: "Any problems?" "No way, man," replies one of them enthusiastically. "We're go· ing all the way!" Joe Cieplinski '92

John always .saw theUght iri the sky (or a note on the office door) and zoomed i~. to save. the day when·. ever the "bad guys"i got tripped up. ··Photography editor Bren.dan Gaul, the Boy Wonder, s~rved as the ever-dependable sidekick to the staff. "Robin's" efforts in the Batcave (dark room) made all the photos clear. and readily available, even .at a moment's notice. Copy edhors in this (extremely) fictional. Gotham City were the adversaries dodging Batman. Mark Campbel), the.Riddler, could always provide a witty headline, a smart caption, or a puzzling re~

tnark. The Joker, Sean Hendrick, constantly wore a Napier-like.grin as he plotted humorous or.· crea· tive "feature" 1deas. CB Mulhern, the Penguin; waddled .around and g~ye,. as expected, a satiric op· posing view on .all writing, making us work harder to "get it right." Coordinating editor Bill MoUnari' s cool head. and diligence dubbed him Mr. Freeze,. the re· served, powerful foe. And Brnther Lirius unknowingly played Alfred, catering to the. abundant typing needs of the.staff (Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap .... DING . ·•. zzzing!). Mod· erator Mr. Edward Molush, Com· missioner Gordon, was armed daily with a red pen and a mind like a dictionary.He was assisted by Photography Moderator, Mr. William Geiger, alias Chief O'Hara. These two men remained dutifully aware of what .was hap· pening, yet were always a step or two behind Batman. Through Jong, sometimes frus· trating hours spent in Wayne .Manor, a.k.a. the yearbook office, this undeBATably dedicated staff finally and proudly produced (Ho· ly Journalism Class!!) the book you are reading.

LaSalle Mothers' Club ne of the inost obvious indi. cations that the LaSallian spirit is indeed alive and well is the Mothers' Club. In fad, it is virtually impossible to. attend La· Salle and. remain unfamiliar with its contributions· to the daily life of the school. The majority of the students at LaSalle have been made acquainted with these dedicated women through the valuabl~ services they provide'. S.chool functions such as the Open House, the Honors Convocation, and• the Junior Prom could not have achieved such sue· cess without the Mothers' Club. They have also made their presence felt through a wide variety

The most notable contribution which these forty women have made is the organization of many school-sponsored fund raisers, of which the "LaSale" Auction is the most successful. This year, almost $85,000 was raised by the Mothers; Club in conjunction with the Men of LaSalle. The Mothers' Club is truly a clear sign to all of us· indicating the strength of community and generosity among our parents here at LaSalle. Bill Molinari '91

lntramurals Homeroom Gladiators

s La Salle's athletics pro· gram strengthens due to championship football, baseball, track, and golf teams, and highly aggressive basketball and ice hockey teams, the competition for positions on each team increases among students. Therefore, those whose talents don't meet the ex· pectations of coaches are often left without starting positions, and sometimes without a space on the roster. So what does a student do when he gets cut from a team but still loves to participate in a cer· tain sport? He makes the smart choice and plays intramurals. Among the sports in the intramural program are basketball, golf, track, touch football, swim· ming, wrestling, volleyball, ping· pong, and tug-of-war. A student can join any or all sports if he chooses, regardless of athletic talent. All the student needs is an eagerness to compete, a willing· ness to meet classmates, and a

desire to have fun. The moderator of the intramu· ral program is Brother Tim Ahern. Brother Tim, now is his third year of organizing intramurals, feels that participation is a smart choice because it fosters life within the school. "Playing intramurals is a great way to promote friendship. A lot of times guys will be sitting in homeroom and they know other guys by face, but they don't know about these guys. The program provides a away for students to get to know each other. Students with interests in the same sports become friends through intra· murals." Also, the homeroom rivalry pro· vides a healthier, more enjoyable competition than that of varsity level sports. Friendship and fun are the two elements that make participating in intramurals a smart choice. Greg Linde '91

Winter Dance Ice Ice Baby s I entered the front doors of La Salle from the cold exterior, I felt the restricting collar of my dress shirt gripping my throat like a neck brace. My palms seemed slightly sweaty and my mouth somewhat dry. Surges of strong cologne and sweet perfume rushed through my nostrils. As I peered through the stagnant air I was overcome by a sea of black dresses and sculptured hair. Small freshman duos had eager expressions on their young faces. The only sounds piercing enough to conquer the thunderous music occurred when girlfriends recognized one another. My date and I had just entered La Salle's Winter Dance. Held on Friday, December 7, 1990, this semi-formal affair attracted people from each class. An equal number of guys in ties and girls with corsages enjoyed the evening out which included the basic D.J., snacks, and soda. To the right of the entrance,

ve had worse nights!

"But Senor Blanco, I swear I bought a ticket."

outside of the main office, stood a temporary photo studio where couples could get their picture taken in a Christmas setting. Mrs. Maher's true calling sparkled at her station in the gym as "coatcheck lady." Senor Blanco inspected our dates as he collected the $10 tickets in front of the auditorium. And the ambience of romance which ruled the dance floor during ballads was only disturbed by the seemingly 8-feet tall patrolman, "Eagle-eye" Molush. Later, I felt a much looser collar around my neck, damp with sweat. My thirst had been quenched a few times with refreshing cups of 7Up. Scents faded and blended and were finally one. Formerly ironed dresses and perky hair seemed a bit frazzled. Ninth graders appeared nervous and anxious about an impending goodnight kiss. The final song finished to leave a deafening buzz in my ears. The 1990 Winter Dance had concluded. Mark Campbell '91

Ladies, ladies there's enough of me to go around. Gee, I hope she shows."

Soccer Boaters Make a Strong Showing a Salle's 1990 soccer team, coached by Mr. Bob Peffle, began the season with a reserved attitude. There were many difficulties to contend with in the Catholic League. However, strong de· fensive play and depth in the midfield and front line positions kept the Ex· plorers competitive against all of their opponents. This year's outstanding varsity dis· played a lot of spirit and spunk, to say the least, on and off the field. The sen· iors contributed greatly to this cama· raderie, a group which included co· Captains Jason Lottier and Jeff Cun· ningham, Greg Ciaverelli, Joe Lopez, Billy Mcfadden, Craig Neverosky, Brian Poehlman, and Mike Vile. After they depart in June, capable underclassmen are expected to continue their fearless

play. The varsity finished with a 7·5·4 league record and an 11 ·5·4 record overall. The principal reason for any losses was the many injuries suffered by key players at inopportune times during the season. Meanwhile, the J.V. and Freshman teams both had sue· cessful seasons. This past year, the soccer team maintained good work habits and strong determination to be successful. Hopefully, next year, La Salle's climb in the ranks will be continued. With a large group of experienced players re· turning and several talented under· classmen ready for varsity play, the Ex· plorers' hopes for the next season are very high. Mike Vile '91

Secµring ·the Future The Junior Varsity team also had a fine season. this year. Even with. several key players being called up to Varsity because of in· juries, the JV compiled a record of 6-3. A 28-0 crush of Central Bucks East, which avenged the Varsity's loss, proved to be the high point of the JV season; Many players emerged as leaders;. thus assuring LaSalle's football future . Junior Mike Brusca, a defensive back, and Sophomore Bill Tatar, a linebacker, stood out on. de· fense for the JV. On offense, a huge offensive line (..Juniors Tim Daniel, BHI Nichols, ancl Mike Vennera, and Sophomores Mike Adamow, Kevin Conlin, and Greg Lavin) made it possible for sev· eral backs to shine.

Swim Team Trying For a Three-peat

a Salle's swim team has always been . one of the most competitive here. The 1990- 1991 season proved this once again. Through reliable constants and successful innovations, the swimmers confirmed that their force was again one to be reckoned with. This year the team welcomed new coach Mr. Frank Lichtner, who brought with him experience and a willingness to explore. Coach Lichtner discontin· ued daily morning practice and re· placed it with Saturday practice. Under his supervision, the group swam more yardage, while taking part in an extensive dry-land program. Due to these new exercises, the team had more en· ergy at the end of its races than other schools. Another facet to the achievement of the swim team was the student lead· ership. Captain Kevin Gray and lieu· tenants Ryan Young, Keith Krelovich, and John Weiss set an example of de· termination and discipline followed by their teammates. At the beginning of the year the sea· son seemed bleak. Many key swimmers were lost to other activities. Yet the remaining athletes, along with the new freshmen who made up half of the ros· ter, performed far beyond all expec· Cannonball finalists

semi·

tations. The team opened with an important win over Archbishop Carroll at home. A meet at Penn Charter followed, where La Salle finished eight points short. This competition was the first real test the team had received in two years, and the swimmers responded very well, keeping up with Penn Charter's strong club in every match. Then the team swam with visiting Father Judge. The upperclassmen's efforts coupled with some competitive freshman races led to a La Salle victory. The main goal for this year's team was to win its third straight Catholic League Championship. Individual aims ranged from personal bests throughout the season to aggressive showings in the National Catholic and the Eastern meets. Winning the regular season was certainly tops on everyone's list of pri· orities, making it a "threepeat.'' Behind every new technique and face on La Salle's 1990-1991 swim team was the desire to win. This was equally true of the team's veterans. With all of this perseverance, experience, and raw tal· ent, it's no wonder the swimmers made all Explorer fans so proud of their ac· complishments. Keith Krelovich '92

These men are the coaches of the 1990· 91 Indoor Track Team. Beginning in late November, they strained, urged, and worked the team in order to be prepared for championships in the Catholic League and beyond. The coaches' dedication combined with the raw talent of the athletes produced nu· merous champions. Mr. Devine and Brother Dave trained runners such as seniors Kevin Scully, Chris Hilty, Brian Daly, John Murphy, and Keith Tornetta. Kevin and Chris were always ranked in the top 10 of their events, if not at the very top. The coaches were also dazzled by the abilities of juniors Fran Corcoran, Brett Feret, Greg Giuliano, John Gorman, Scott Halstead, Mark Houck, Chris Lo· pez, John Minnich, Mike Renzi, and Mike Treacy. The underclassmen, Mark

Beaver, Jim Gorman, Steve Roeser, and Mark Wimmer, were of invaluable aid in sending more athletes to the Meet of Champions and elsewhere. (If I left anyone out it's probably because I don't like you or you didn't give me enough of a bribe.) While the runners were outside rac· ing, Mr. Friz was checking every detail of the Shot Putters, High Jumpers, and Pole Vaulters. He occasionally miscal· culated the number of warm· up laps completed because he was so en· grossed in his "Cross Sums." But most of the time he had the "pleasure" of analyzing the exploits of one of the best Field teams ever (No lie!). Dom Maida led the group of Shot Putters consist· ing of Dave Gathman, Ed Louka, Bill Nichols, and Mike Vennera. In the High Jump, John Walker leaped into the 6· foot stratosphere while pursuing a new school record alongside Marlin Brown and Jack Bush. Jack also broke his own school record in the Pole Vault with leaps in excess of 13 feet. Indoor Track and Field is a team and individual quest held in the city, state, and regional circuits. With the triumph and glory comes occasional sorrow, yet the greatest benefit is getting a free meal from Mr. Friz when you break a record! Jack Bush '91

Wrestling Play-off Appearance for Grapplers ~is

year the Explorer wrestlers on their resourceful· ness to reach a new level of achieve· ment. Even with several injuries and some disappointing losses, the team made the play-offs for the first time in ten years. The ultimate credit for the fourth-place finish goes to Head Coach Mike Rae. He and his assis· tants, Anthony Stagliano and Tom Claussen, impressed their instruc· tional techniques on a play· off ready team. The 1991 Grapplers tallied a 15·5 record, with distinctive results in several tournaments. The Explorers were runner-up in the LaSalle Christmas and the Lower Moreland Tournaments. On their way to the play·offs LaSalle demolished St. John Neumann 77-0, and took out arch-rival St. Joe's Prep. Although the team lost in the play-offs, the Explorers can be very proud of their performance. In the Catholic League Individual Tournament LaSalle finished 2nd overall. Among the stand outs were 2nd team All-Catholics Kevin Latch· ford, Dan Crowe, and Joe Flemming, and 3rd team All-Catholics John Russo and Steve Cook. The team al· so finished within the top twenty teams at the highly prestigious Na· tional Prep Tournament. For La· Salle, Senior Captain Dan Crowe and fellow Senior John Russo both took 7th place in the nation. Next year the team says good-bye to Seniors Crowe, Russo, Tom But· ler, Tony Lee, and the others. How· ever returning wrestlers include Juniors Steve Cook, Leo Burke, Mike Brusca, and Joe Flemming, Sopho· mores Dan Fritz and Kevin Dager, and Freshman Kevin Latchford. Now that they've tasted the play-offs, a Catholic League title feast can't be too far ahead. Mike Toscano '93

Golf Well Below Par, Way Above the Rest

ile other teams like baseball nd spring crew receive wide recognition, the La Salle golf team qui· etly and consistently defeats its op· ponents. Dedicating their season to the s~ricken Brother Al Lumley, the golfers aspired to win the Catholic League again this year, hoping to bring their winning record to 11 championships in 13 years. Although two of the best golfers from La Salle graduated in 1990, this year's team displayed overwhelming talent and fierce determination to remain in first place. The ambitious team includ· ed seniors Chris Hilty, Jim Maher, Joe Morrissey, Mark O'Neill, and Dan Walls, juniors Jay Cody and Tom Craig, and sophomores Liam Herron and Matt Shevlin.

practicing and fine-tuned concentra· tion in shotmaking - a sign of intelligent golfers. Before the season began, six prac· tices were held at the Whitemarsh Val· ley Country Club to select the varsity team. Brother Al considered those who did not make the cut "junior varsity players" who could be readied for future years. With Brother Al's moral support and the golfers' hard-working attitude, La Salle's 1991 golf team was destined to flourish. The golfers did not receive (or desire) loud cheering on the course from devout La Salle fans. But that didn't mean the fans weren't extremely proud of all of their accomplishments.

Baseball Topps In Their Field uring the cold, dreary winter months, many people keep their spirits up in anticipation of warm weather and our na· tional pastime, baseball. By the end of February, Mr. Parisi and Brother Tim Ahern became visibly restless, preparing to bring out the bats and balls and start another successful season at La Salle. The ballplayers also got restless as they longed for the smells of freshly mowed grass and well· oiled fielders' gloves. On March l, the coaches got their first opportunity to work with the players who would provide much excitement throughout the regular season and into the playoffs. La Salle continued to build on its rich baseball tradition under head coach Jo· seph Parisi in 1991. Last year the Ex· plorers enhanced their position as the fin· est high school program in the Philadel· phia area by once again gaining a playoff berth. This year, coaching and talent would again show who dominates in this "thinking person's" sport. There were some excellent players who graduated from La Salle, yet those va· cated spots were filled capably by new players. The varsity squad featured a good blend of seniors and underclassmen. The revamped lineup consisted of the feared base-runner and lead-off man Roger Har· rington, catcher Shawn O'Brien, pitcher I outfielder Joe McNichol, first baseman Andy "Lace" Wallace, outfielder Mike Sinopoli, and several junior sluggers. By using its speed, defense, and, especially, its intelligence and instincts, the team prevailed in most of its games. La Salle played several tune-up, non· league games before facing Northern Di· vision foes North Catholic, Bishop Ken· rick, Archbishop Wood, Archbishop Ryan, and the rest. The Explorers played each league opponent twice during the regular season. With talented players and a knowl· edgeable coaching staff, La Salle is re· garded by its opponents in the Catholic League as "the team to beat." The base· ball team takes pride in this reputation and has played well enough and worked hard enough to maintain it. John Gorman '92

Tennis Serving up "J"e animal is gone. Who was J. the animal? Drew Stockmal - the ex-varsity tennis coach. Was he booted? No, he finally got a job. Not to despair. Tore Hans· sen quickly took over the helm and guided the 1991 squad to an· other fine finish. This year's team, one of the most experienced La Salle has ev· er had, courted seven returning varsity members led by seniors CB Mulhern, Josh Nowak, Ricky Ro· jas, and Carlos Torres. These sen· iors were complemented by jun• iors Rob Dempsey and Derek Ben· nis and sophomore Michael Ker· Jin. This experience helped prepare La Salle against perennial foes, Ryan, Bonner, and Carroll. These teams stifled La Salle in the past few years, but this year the Ex·

This year had not only seen the loss of the varsity coach. Mrs. Sayer, J.V. coach and longtime librarian, had also left. Fortunately, Mr. Dolan, resident school psy· chologist, stepped in to train the J.V. team. The underclassmen un· doubtedly benefited from his own well-honed strokes - and his ex· pert techniques on how to psyche out the opponent. With a combination of new coaches and experienced players, the 1991 squad surpassed expec· tations and strengthened La Salle's winning tradition. CB Mulhern '91

Spring Crew

"Today's reading is from the Gospel accord· ing to Bob."

Oarsmen Attack Schuylkill' t the beginning

of the spring season, the La Salle Crew set its expectations very high. Last sum· mer for the first time, a La Salle Var· sity·8 boat went to Britain to partic· ipate in the Royal Henley Regatta on the Thames River. This occurred af· ter the Varsity-8 went undefeated in the national competition, including the capture of the prestigious Sto· tesbury Cup and the Catholic League Championship. In the Henley Regat· ta, though, the team was unable to secure the form that had given them national and international recognition, as well as number one ranking. This year the team hoped to build on the produc1;ive fall season and winter training. Senior rowers Ryan Tyrrell, Tim Downs, Andrew Mullen, T.J. Wilson, John Croney, Jim Sig· mund, and returning senior cox· swains Andrew Maude and Pat O'Halloran provided the necessary leadership and strength that was needed if the Crew wanted to repeat as champions. The very strong un· derclass rowers made the conten· tion for seats very competitive, and kept the senior and experienced rowers in top condition. Since the fall, the team's erg scores had been increasing and the equipment failures had hopefully been eradicated. All of these im· provements, in addition to the chris· tening of new boats, provided favor· able conditions for success in the spring. When the team began the season with the Manny Flick races, it was well-prepared for the task ahead - maintaining the champi· onship. The members of the crew were chosen not only by their signs of strength, such as performance in calisthenics, running, and ergome· ter tests, but also by showing signs of their "rowing intelligence." In ad· dition to rowing strongly with fa· vorable erg scores, the rowers were

also rated on their rowing strokes and their ability to either direct or follow other rowers in the boat to keep the boat in synch and "set." Helping the oarsmen to develop their skills was the essential job of the tenacious coaches. This year's team boasted a strong coaching staff, headed by Mr. Robert Rein· hardt, who was also the Junior Var· sity-8 and Varsity-8 coach. Rob Gi· nieczki coached the lightweights, and Joe Sweeney and Bill Ernst were in charge of coaching the fours. Two newcomers from Villanova, Chris Kerber and Mike Coil, had the dif· ficult task of instructing the Freshmen and Novices. The coxswains, an integral yet often forgotten group, served as on· board coaches. The coxswains were chosen for their ability to lead the rowers and the intelligence they showed in directing the movements of the boat. They had to be able to keep the rowers rowing at the prop· er rate, and keep the boat's move· ments constantly under control. It was their responsibliity to see that the boat was in proper working con· dition and, once in the water, avoid· ed other crews in order to stay afloat. In the boathouse there is a sign hanging from the wall that reads "Henley St." It represents to the rower the aspiration of the sport. The La Salle Crew program set sail once again on a quest for this ultimate goal. But, the Varsity-8 and the oth· er boats could not achieve their goals without first undergoing fierce strength tests, before developing into intelligent rowers. From the Man· ny Flick Regattas to the Stotesbury Regatta, and possibly the Royal Henley Regatta, the Crew of La Salle showed in its achievement that it's one of the premier rowing teams in the country.

Spring Track Seniors Lead the Way It was another good year for La Salle's Spring Track & Field (or Field & Track, whichever you pre· fer) team. The team was coached by Bro. Dave Rogers, Mr. Pat De· vine, and Mr. John Frizalone. These coaches should be com· mended for the amount of effort and time that they put into this year's team. The success of any runner, thrower, or jumper is a sign of their coach's guidance. On the track for their final year were Seniors Brian Daly, Chris Hilty, John Murphy, and Kevin Scully. They ran in the distance events, while fellow Senior Keith Tornetta handled the sprints. There was also a promising bunch of underclass runners including John Gorman, Mark Houck, Steve Roeser, and Mark Wimmer. The field events were dominat· ed also by Seniors. Shot put was thrown by Dom Maida and Keith Conlin. In the Pole Vault, school record holder Jack Bush defend· ed his title. Jamal Allen handled the Discus along with Bush and Conlin. In the Javelin court were Joe Cullen, John Egnotovich, and Steve Strohecker. Sprinter Keith

Tornetta also did the Long Jump, while Marlin Brown and John Walker soared high in the High Jump. The team would seem Senior· heavy, but in fact the Explorers had great depth. Coach John "Big Daddy" Frizalone envisions Jun· ior Dave Gathman to be next year's "Field General" because Dave threw shot, discus, and jave· lin this year. Junior Frank Os· borne and Freshman Jim Gorman stepped forward as good long jumpers. Sophomore Jerry Brink· mann looks to follow in Jack Bush's footsteps at the Pole Vault, and Freshman Marty Mulligan will take on the High Jump next year. Top scorers for this team were Kevin Scully in the mile and Jack Bush in the Pole Vault. Additional points were contributed by Allen, Brown, Conlin, Gathman, Maida, Walker, and Wimmer. With a strong Senior class and numerous underclassman adding their skill, LaSalle's Spring Track & Field team will be a force in the Catholic league for many years to come. Jamal Allen '91

We're One Step Ahead "'J"'ie end of our senior year has ar· .I rived and our time as the most priv· leged students in these hallowed halls nust come to a close. While we are ~xtremely happy about our future ad· ,entures in the "real world," we cannot gnore the responsibilities endowed to ts through the development of our ninds. We realize that down in the lregs of our souls we are the same lit· :le freshmen who entered La Salle al· nost four years ago (psyche!). We have ,ome parting notes to our successors: I assume that you non-seniors be· ieve that you will possess the same :ontrol and freedom that we have held 'or nine months. Dream on. Even though you will be considered a senior >Y underclassmen, relatives, and col· eges, the faculty knows that we earned >Urtitle as the most powerful group of

students ever at La Salle. Now that I have sufficiently disappointed you, please allow my classmates and I a few moments to rub your noses in the mem· ories of our "power" year at La Salle. Fasten your seatbelts! I bet you didn't realize that we were using Mr. Diehl's office to call our girl· friends. Ever notice the many seniors going in and out of his office with smiles on thefr faces? I assure you, we weren't getting our report cards. Also, Brother James Dries gave us full access to the school's computer which holds the ac· ademic records. Does that explain why hardly any sophomores get A's from Bernie? Previous senior classes had a diffi· cult time raising funds for trips to the Bahamas with Gwynedd, but we were able to alleviate this problem. And

please don't think it was just a coin· cidence that underclassmen seemed to get the last scoop of burnt macaroni and cheese in the cafeteria. Without telling you about our other diverse benefits, like parties with Mr. Jackson and Mr. Evans, and the Money Store run by Mr. "Jimmy the Greek" Roche, I will finish this reflection with a message from the Class of 1991. "Thank you for making us look better than all of you, and good luck trying to fill our shoes. Always remember and never forget: no matter how much money you make, you will never rise higher than us in stature in the eyes of the head of La Salle, Mr. Bill LaFontaine." Michael Cunningham '91

with his

"f1le imagination and originality .f that most La Salle students possess were displayed when a few guys developed and popular· ized a new game called Trayball. Equipped with a lunch tray and a tennis ball, these pioneers broke the boredom of the cafeteria as they swarmed to the "pit" to re· lease excess energy. This new sport was born during the early months of fall as stu· dents realized that they weren't ready for total immersion into school. They had to gradually overcome the withdrawal from summer freedom. Basing Trayball on baseball with some creative modifications, these Explorers transformed the "pit" into a small scale stadium at lunch time. From the moment the first ball was pitched students came out not only to play but also to watch. All involved enjoyed the change of pace from an ordinary school day. The cheers and laughter from the spectators and players demon· strated yet another example of the positive spirit of La SaUe. Though a typical Trayball par· ticipant may not be the next Daryl Strawberry or Roger Clemens, his enthusiasm and effort make the game exciting. It may not be much longer until Mr. Parisi turns to the "pit" for some major varsity base· ball recruiting! Scott Wimmer '91

MARANATHA

s a Christian school, La Salle feels that growing spiritually is as important as academic growth. For this reason, seniors are offered a retreat in Malvern. (Well, it isn't exactly volun· tary; if you don't attend, you don't grad· uate.) My homeroom trekked to Malvern by bus last fall, armed with nothing but pens and notebooks. When we arrived, we were separated into four smaller groups. The air was filled with apprehension as we learned who our teacher-moderator would be, and if we would be with our friends. After we settled into our rooms - or maybe cells would be a better description

- we attended a prayer service. Dinner followed, where the food wasn't bad and neither were some of the waitresses. We were allowed to play touch football later that evening, and were given a snack be· fore bed. All of these activities were sur· rounded by personal small group sharing and class prayer where we lit candles, heard readings, and said petitions. A memorable part of the evening oc· curred when we took one of moderator Brother Henry Werner's famous "mind journeys." We closed our eyes, stood still, and listened quietly. Our adventure took us through a forest, where we drank from a pond and entered an abandoned shack.

Afterwards we learned that this exercisE could help us to understand our subcon· scious feelings. The next day we were awakene<l MIGHTY early to eat a buffet breakfas1 and pray some more. We played football again and continued our small group dis· cussions. After lunch, our day ended wit~ a liturgy where each of us received a cros! on a shoestring. As we loaded the bus once more for thE return trip to school, we all thanked Brother Henry for this enlightening spir· itual experience with a "firm hand· shake."

ell, first of all, if there was one word to describe me, it would be La Sallian. Af· ter long hours of meditation on this subject, I believe a La Sal· lian guy is one who is hand· some and knows it. That pretty much covers my personality. I try to keep myself fairly busy. During the fall I play foot· ball. During the winter I wres· tie and run indoor track. It's tough, but if Bo can do it, I can too. And in the spring season I compete on our elite golf and tennis teams. I am co-captain on all of these sports I partic· ipate in, of course. I just didn't get around to including them in my transcript. Besides, a con· fidential source told me that official school transcripts are unreliable - don't trust them. I have many caring, con· cerned friends who just love to be in my presence. One of them told me that a strange odor was permeating from my locker. It was I. Girls don't attend my school and I'm not in the busi· ness of impressing any Broth· ers. On weekends, I'm so busy

I have to keep the phone off the hook - there is not enough time to have more than five girlfriends at once. I plan to major in American Folk Dancing. If that does not work out I will resort to my sec• ond career choice, that of Mu· sic Appreciation. ("Would you like to hear some music?" "Yeah, I'd appreciate that!") Lastly, I'd like to explain that none of those suspensions were my fault. I swear that Mrs. Mu· riel Mehr tried to throw me out the window; I yanked her out trying to save myself! Further· more it was another clear cut case of self-defense that time I threw erasers at Mr. Ed McCabe. I claim mental cruel· ty. I have gained a great deal of wisdom from these experi· ences. however. Never mess with Mr. Roche and never, ever, deflate Mr. Puntel's tires (he's an animal when he's angry). If you are actually reading this essay, Mr. (or Ms.) Admis· sions person, stop! Just send me my acceptance and the ad· dress where my father can send a donation to your fine insti· tution.

Underclassmen Need Not Enter f:'ew underclassmen under· stand what exactly goes on in the College Placement Center. It is often seen as a forbidden zone that should never be trespassed (which is true). If, for some un· known reason, an underclassman must cross the unfamiliar door· way, he usually knocks quietly first. If he can get past the seniors in the room, he'll learn all about Mrs. Logan's private domain. He is puzzled by the first sight. The heads of two tired seniors lie on an opened college catalog. They mumble phrases like "I hate college applications" and "I don't want to go to college. I just want to be a shepherd." Luckily for the underclassman, they don't notice his presence. He passes the enormous stacks of essential college information. On top there is a brightly colored brochure describing the anthro· pology department at Harvey Mudd University. He is tempted to page through it, but he resists. As he forces himself to pass the numerous interesting college cat· alogs, he is relieved to see Mrs. Logan's smiling face behind her

eternally neat and organized desk. His attention is caught by the sight of an overflowing glass bowl of candies. Without hesitation he stashes handfuls of them into his pockets. After he delivers his message that the faculty square dance has been postponed, he heads back toward the door, taking one more handful of candy, of course. Be· fore he leaves, he decides to sat· isfy his curiosity and peer into the office adjacent to the College Placement Center. What could it be? Underclassmen torturing de· vices? He sees Brother David Ro· gers diligently laboring over pa· pers. The enlightened boy decides not to disturb him, so he exits the office. Before leaving, he takes one fi· nal look around the C.P.C. in awe, realizing that he probably won't return until his senior year. How· ever, he now knows that the Col· lege Placement Center is more than Mr. Roche's undercover gambling hall, and knowing is half the battle won. T. Brendan Butler '91

Step right up for a picture with a Dream PromDate

But, She's Got a Great Personality . . . , 'Hey,

it's too early to find a date for the prom. I don't want to take myself off the market before I test the waters of free agency. Why rush things when there is so much opportunity - so much prom· ise? Like I've always said, 'I'm like a wild deer in the forest, and I have to run free!' There is still plenty of time to find a woman of epic proportions a date that I will look back on in ten years and have just one word to say: 'Wow!"' Do these words sound famil· iar? That's probably because they are what you were saying about a month ago, when you had five weeks to find a date for the prom. Now you're kind of hurting, considering the fact that you have only three days left to find this dream girl. Need help? First of all, remember the fact that you're a high school guy (translation: you have no pride and absolutely no stan· dards). More importantly, for all the money you'll b shelling out, you want to make sure that the date may have some romantic implications (or at least give the appearance of having

196

them). Here are some simplE methods to attain the highes1 quality date on short notice: 1) Bag the looks. After all beauty is only skin deep, an<I plain girls will appreciate bein!] asked much more. Now I knou that you don't want a datE beaten by the ugly stick, but l'n, sure you can find one that'! been hit only a few hundre~ times. Remember, make-up i! a miracle worker. KEYS TC A VOID: tattoos, facial hair, girls hit more than 300 times 2) Borrow a babe. Find c: friend from another school tha1 has a really "choice" girlfriend and ask to borrow her for thE night. You may not have any ro· mantic hopes, but you're thE only one who knows that. KEY~ TO AVOID: jealous boyfriend! and faithful girls 3) Take a chance. Yes, the ul· timate game of Russian rou· Jette: a blind date. Sometime! miracles do happen. A longsho1 horse has been known to win , race. Just make sure you pra! real hard. KEYS TO A VOID Hey, this is a crap shot; all bet! are off. Brian McDermott '91

''INTELLIGENT'' WORLD LIFE HOMELESS COUNT A legion of clipboardtoting counters sought out shelters, subways and steam grates on March in the broadest attempt ever to find out the extent of homelessness since it became a national disgrace in the 1980s. Some homeless didn't mind the government intrusion. "It shows that they're starting to recognize us as humans and not the scum of the earth,'' said one young man of the streets. Another homeless man said, "What are they going to use the numbers for anyway? To tell us there ain't no homeless problem? I'm a living example that there is a problem. We need jobs, not surveys.'' The United States Census Bu-

reau is spending 2. 7 million to tally homeless Americans, but critics fear an undercount will allow the government to justify cuts in services. The homeless - now estimated to number 3 million were asked their name, age, sex, race and martial status. As Washington, D.C.'s deputy mayor for economic development said, "the count is important because "only when we know how many homeless there are can improvements be made in the delivery of services." Hopefully by the time our generation is in power this major problem can and will be solved. John W. Trainer '91

FLAG PROTECTION ACT The United States Senate rejected a constitutional amendment against flag burning on June 26 with critics arguing that it was already dead and being debated largely as ammunition for use against them at elec· tion time. The Senate voted 5842 in favor, leaving it nine short of the required two thirds majority needed to ap· prove amendments. President George Bush called for approva I of the measure, which said simply that

"Congress and thE states shall have pow· er to prohibit the phys· ical desecration of the flag of the Unitec States." But the House reject· ed it with Democratic leaders saying that i1 amounted to placing limits on freedom 01 speech. The flag, that man) of our brothers and sis· ters have lost their live~ for, is now legally al· lowed to be desecrat· ed, what a shame! Wha1 would our "founding fathers" think? John W. Trainer '91

MADONNA Madonna kicked off her 1990 world tour, "Blonde Ambition," with a seven-concert tour of Japan, then came back to perform in the United States and on to more shows in Europe. "Express Yourself" is just what Madonna does. Although her performance is "Causing a Commotion," the "Blonde Ambition" tour was nothing less than a satisfying show. John W. Trainer '91

NOLAN RYAN WINS 300

Defeating the Milwaukee Brewers on July 31, Texas Rangers pitcher Nolan Ryan won his 300th game. "I eel more relieved that anything else after all the buildup," Ryan said after joining the 路300 club. Ryan has 1ecome one of only ten major league pitchers to win 300 games. John W. Trainer '91

UNITED STATES TANKS REACH SAUDI ARABIA The United States Army's heaviest ground firepower reached Saudi soil in August for deploy· ment behind Arab forces manning the front line in the standoff with Iraq. Dozens of M1·1P tanks and M2 Bradley armored infantry fighting vehicles, and scores more heavy support vehicles, rolled off two huge transport ships at a port in northeastern Saudi Arabia and made their way north into the de· sert. The truthfully spoken words of Colonel Barry Willey rang true in early March when he said "There's no doubt in my mind that we'll succeed here if we have to." "Bring them (the Iraqis) oh," said a United States sergeant. "We have the training and technology; they've got the numbers. We'll take them out." And may God bless America! John W. Trainer '91

A PORTRAIT OF AN IRAQI "MADMAN" The portrait of Saddam Hus· sein shows a man with a strange duality: Tough, yet fearful; inspiring fear in his own people, yet also basking in a kind of populist veneration from many of the region's Ar· abs. The portrait is one of a poor orphan who rose tp power through opportunism and bru· tallty, whose anti-Western views were shaped in child· hood, and who - commanding the world's fourth-largest army - unsuccessfully attempted to deliver on his nationalist dreams. Fear and terror surrounded the 53-year·old Iraqi President, and United States intelligence officials and other analysts believed that this climate was his undoing. John W. Trainer '91

Desert Storm Remembered We will remember the suddenness, he swiftness, the devastation, and the >Ublic controversy of the War in the ~ulf. A nation watched, in effect, a sur路eal TV mini-series - while the reality >f smart bombs, a thousand smoulder-

deeply-felt impact on us all. We mourn those who died in battle; we thank those who survived the risking of their lives in carrying out our nation's mission. John W. Trainer '91

tardate: 4371.6 - I ordered a return to LaSalle College High School, disappointed that my mission could have been in vain. The rest of Roomdnyw 91 is divided into political units which quarrel amongst themselves. Lt. Reniart's report was greatly anticipated because LaSalle has the only truly intelligent life on the planet. The lieutenant infiltrated a peculiar group of students known as "Yearbook Editors." From this position he was chiefly able to witness all students in their classrooms and hallways, and on their "clubs" and "teams." He reported on all the students who participated in "sports." Sports were apparently physical activities designed for fitness, teamwork, and as a diversion from learning. Most of LaSalle's teams performed well and earned spots in something called "play-offs." Most distinctive and memorable, however, was the main daily function of the school: learning. Students engaged in activities which challenged and expanded their minds rather than their bodies. The activities ranged from solving math problems to perfecting communication skills, and from effecting euphonic sound waves with instruments to dancing and acting out stories on a stage. Some of the specifics of the report I do not understand, hut Lt. Reniart assures me that each activity reflects LaSalle's innate and acquired superiority of intellectual, cultural, and physical expressions. Lt. Reniart should be given a commendation for his work on this mission. He not only observed, hut he actually took part in the creation of the "Yearbook." This hook is a collection of thin, shiny papers hound in a hard cardboard cover which sums up one of their school "years" (one nearly complete solar cycle). Putting it together with some students, Lt. Reniart witnessed their organizational abilities and their desire to achieve perfection (whether they did or not is not the same issue). I am now leaving the Ralos system to seek out intelligent life elsewhere. If I will find anymore I do not know. I do know, though, that I have found another intelligent society besides our own. I will never forget Roomdnyw 91, because I, Captain Krik of the SSU Esirpretne, found signs of intelligent life at LaSalle College High School. Sean Hendrick '91
