1989 -2007 Mrs, Mary Jo Smith When asked to write a dedication to a true Lasallian teacher, it becomes apparent that a simple tribute is not adequate. Mrs. Smith provides strength to La Salle's family, both during and after school. Her humble and optimistic attitude has created a unique atmosphere in her classroom, where she has nurtured her love for teaching over the past 18 years. During her many hours at Saint Martin's Tutoring, Mrs. Smith has portrayed the Lasallian motto of "Leave to Serve." During one of her Forum practices, one would be able to witness the passion and vigor she brings to the debate team. A list of all the programs that a dedicated person such as Mrs. Smith influences would become immensely large rather quickly; however, these are just a few of the programs to which she brings love and success.

Mrs. Smith brings an incredible amOW1t of fervor and zeal to the classroom, while conveying her true love for math to her students. She strives to reach the entire class, whether the subject is advanced calculus material or reviewing the basics of AJgebra I. She dellvers each new lesson planas if it were the most important material all year, which to her it usually is. No student is ever unwelcome in her company, from before and after school to countless hours cooped up in the Math Center. When not at La Salle, one could usually find her at one of her various service projects. On almost every Thursday after school, Mrs. Smith helps coordinate a very special place, Saint Martin's. Saint Martin's Tutoring is just one other way in which she connects with children; however, this time she works with students who do not have the chances other students do. Mrs. Smith's compassion and love for teaching does not end at La 5.,lJe'sdriveway. It is not difficuJt to imagine Mrs. Smith in the role as a coach of the La Salle Forum team. One WQuJd just have to sit through one of her classes to witness her unique skill and talents as an orator. But it is her leadership and confidence that really encourages the learn towards its many victories and accomplishments. Without her guidance and wisdom, the La Salle Forum would not be where it is today. As the La Salle community, we are truly blessed to have someone so dedicated and SO strong as a member of our family. If her tremendous strength is not apparent in anything else, it is in her recent fight and victory over cancer. Despite the odds, Mrs. Smith never quit; she never lost her strength. It is an incredible honor to have such a fine educator, caring soul, and an encouraging coach back in La Salle's halls. Mrs. Smith truly is the definition of a strong, considerate and dedicated Lasallian teacher. - Pat Melvin '08

lMPORTRNT "Enter to Learn, Lea\'c to Serve." Every day. when more than one thousand young. intelli-

gent Lasallian gentlemen walk through the front doors, we are not just entering to simply learn scholarly academics. After all, while academics are extraordinarily important at La Salle, there is more to the spirit that embodies L.., Salle. La s..,lle is a school of interaction and true compassion. It is interested in faith-based learning in which every member's beliefs add to the spirituality alive on campus. As staled,

when we enter to learn. we enter to learn the skills and theories of science. English. math, clc. However, we also enter to learn the values of faith, so that when we leave La Salle. we leave utilizing our learned vaJues to serve others. Beginning each day and class period with a prayer, La Salle seems to instill faith within its

students from their first moments here. With the simple saying of "St. John Baptist de La Salle, pray for us; Live Jesus in our hearts, forever," the idea of faith is always present. Besides the daily prayers, the students at L..'l Salle also particip.'lte in the faith-filled retreats, concluding with Kairos. in which we are encouraged to look into ourselves and share with others who we truly arc. Furthermore. in L.15.:111e's many liturgies and Masses the school community joins together to express our faith in God while sharing our many talents with Him that He has bestowed upon us. Here, at La Salle, Wl' plunge into a sea of academics, where we are encouraged to "explore" further into our studies, but also delve into our true selves strengthening our faith. -Mike Oliver 'OS

not just grades, la salle is faith and serVice, too â&#x20AC;˘

get involved One important ingredient needed to suc路 ceed at La Salle is involvement. Getting involved is a key to experiencing all that La Salle has to offer. The number of extracurricular activities at La Salle is astonishing. The various activities consist of the entire student body. Whether a student is involved in sports, one of the various clubs, or on WEXP. he is meeting new people and establishing friendships. This is because no matter what a student is interested in, there is a dub or activity for him. In any club or activity students can meet new people who are interested in similar things. The varied number of extracurricular opportunities including: Spanish Club, Italian Club, Celtic Club, Robotics Club, Athletics, or one of many service projects, show that there is a place for everybody. One great thing about these extracurricular activities is thnt a student can be involved in as many as he would like. Many students al La s..,lIe are involved in sports or intra murals, in clubs, and on service projects every day. It is an unbelievable thing 10 see. The activities are so special because they are for students and run by students. - Dan Sacchetta 'OS

ST DAY OF SCHOOL On the first day of school al La Salle. most freshmen do not know what to expecl. Some have never been in a

Catholic school before, and most have never been in an all boys' school. As we enter through the doors, the new images and routines can be overwhelming, but there are many upperclassmen and faeu lty to guide us through the day. Simple things, like rind路 ing lockers or homerooms can be a difficult task, but there

are many helping

hands

As the first day progresses and we meet our teachers oneby路one, it becomes obvious that we will be taught by a bunch of great people this year. We also meet a lot of new faces this day. Many of these faces will be lifelong friends. At the end of the day, there is an excitement about starting at this new place. We look forward to the next day and the years to come. We are proud to call La Salle our school. - Tyler Dunphy '11

WHAT IS ASA After spending four years here at La Salle, there is one

aspect of the school, among many, that has stood out the

entire time: La Salle is a very welcoming community. From the first day freshman year imd then up to and including senior year, everyone, including the administration, teachefS and all students, is friendly and willing to help anyone else. This welcoming aspect of La Salle permeates through and really can make the La

Salle community a second family for many students. While nil La Salle students are different in their own

ways, the differences arc embraced. There is something here for everyone to participate in. Whether a student finds his niche in academic ac-

9 â&#x20AC;˘

tivities, service, sports, writing, music, or is dedicated to a certain club, there is a place for all at this school. And along with that idea, it docs not matter whether a student only takes part in academic activities or only plays a sport after school; all students are accepting of others and their interests. Here, all put forth a strong effort to make each other feel comfortable at school. At La s.:,Ue, students can be themselves while Slill being members of the La Salle community. And being a part of this La Salle community is special. While this school is a fine preparatory high school, it is much more than that. Each and every student has the special privilege of not simply being just a student here, but a very special and important member of the Las<,llian family. - Tom Bender 'OS

A Countdown 4 yedrs to go

ttending La SaUeCollege High School isa great opportunity. A freshman enters with great detennination to achieve his own personal goals. This first step is the beginning of a journey that will open a new chapter in our lives lasting four years. As new freshmen al La Salle, we are made

aware of many opportunities. We arc encouraged, and have already begun to explore these new opportunities, as well as new challcnges. Freshmen quickly learn of La S.llle's mission to develop and gUide boys into young men of re-

spect and leadership. La Salle hopes to encom路 pass all aspects of life into its daily agenda. It strives to develop young men mentally, physically, and socially. This is achieved through La Salle's education, which is made possible by the faculty, who are more than willing to help whenever possible. The upperclassmen also provide a strong example of leadership, which helps guide us as we are adjusting to high school. Freshmen are also introduced and encouraged to participate in the many forms of help La Salle offers, smoothing any bumps we rna)' encounter. Although the journey is just starting, we have already received a taste of whal to expect. La Salle gives us opportunities that we must act upon in our journey. Freshmen year begins the proc{.'SS of creating Lasallian gentlemen. -Inn Bush '11

o Countdown 3 yedrs to go

2ND TO NONE ur journey towards becoming true Lasallian gentlemen takes a pivotal turn during our sophomore year. Freshman year quickly becomes a distant memory, as we enter into a new stage in our education. New teachers, classes, friends, and experiences await us and aid us in this process. Throughout this journey. wisdom, perspective, and insight are inevitably acquired through the help of our elders and other classmates. We begin a new chapter in our lives. distancing ourselves further (rom our youthful ways. Challenges undoubtedly await us; however, with our education and various experiences, we are certainly prepared to handle any issue that confronts us. As we go through the trials and tribulations of our high school career, La Salle gives us the freedom and integrity to learn and grow. Sophomore year builds upon Lasallian qualities and expands our knowledge, as the process of becoming a true member of the La 5.:111e community continues. - Chris Edger '10

unior year at La Salle is a time of great responsibility.Juniors must take on new challenges as

they enter their third year. They accept their title of "upperclassmen" with pride and dedi路 cation while contributing aU they can to the La Salle community. Along with the title of "upperclassmen" comes more leadership, academic, and service responsibility. }uniors realize the need to work harder than ever before in order to achieve success and understand the impact this year will have on the rest of their lives. This year is also n time of building friendship within the junior class as a whole. After 2 years of bonding with friends and maturing with one's classmates, many juniors have de\'eloped friendships that wiLIlnst a lifetime. By junior year, many trivial differences are put aside nnd a mutual respect is de\eloped within the class. When this meaningful year is finished, the junior class will be able to look back and feel proud of the hard work and effort put in by each and every student. By year's end, the junior class will be prepared to enter laSalle as seniors and become the leaders of the LaSalle community. - Matthew Stewart '09

studentcouncil REPRESENTING 9-12 One Hundred Fifty Years - the Student Council theme for 2007-2008 school year, was chosen to celebrate cverythmg that La Salle has stood for over the past ISO years, a legacy that has remained in tact for such a long time and will continue to grow along with the school for years to rome. As construction slarted in the summer for La Salle's new expansion projects, many pe0ple wondered what would happen to the unity

and strength of laSalle. However, right from the start of the school year, when we succeeded our magazine goal of 5115,000. we knew that the school year would continue on that

After the first mixer. the opening pep rally, Wing Bowl, the formal, Bailie of the Bands, Field Day, proms, and the numerous PClChampionships, the 2007路2008 school has been a year of success. The past year was a great year at La Salle thanks to the support of Mrs. Maher (who we drove crazy at times), the leadership and enthusiasm of the entire Student Council, and participation and support of the entire student body. - Andrew Bowman 'OS

nationalhonorsociety The National Honor Society is a remarkable organization comprised of Juniors and Seniors. These upperclassmen members are selected and employ the guiding principles of the Society: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. This year's faculty leaders Dr. Joseph D'Angelo and Brother William DiPasquale and student leaders, along with the myriad of members have served and helped the L., Salle community in a variety of ways.

TIle main focus of the National Honor Society is the peer tutoring. Every year the members gratefully offcr their services 10 any student seeking extra assistance in a class. The tutors meet with the students on a weekly basis

and offer aid and support throughout the year. However. the members of the ational Honor Society not only tutor, but also serve as ushers, tour guides, and greeters at several school functions. The NHS is also responsible for the annual Red Cross Blood Drive. in which the students and faculty look to improve the community. The students that make up the NHS are some of the best and brightest. and their ac路 complishments in the classrooms could extend for pages.

Isc SERVICE 4 ALL From Service 10 Solidarity- .. An individual has not started living until he can rise above the naTrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broadcrconcems of all humanity." This quotation by Martin Luther King, Jr. perfectly represents the Lasallian Service Corps. As the largest and most involved club at La Salle, students rise up and reach oul to the community, both locally and internationally. It is

not difficult to see that students at La Salle truly live out the message of "Leave 10 Serve." LSC offers a wide aTTay of weekly service opportunities, from tutoring underprivileged students at La Salle Academy, St. Martins, or Pro\-idence Center, to serving meals at Project home or SaT-

Sophomore Tu\路is Robert, helps tutor.ll Pmvidencf' C.-nit'

Along with many other opportunities, LSC carries their work over to the weekends, where students participate in Saint Vincent's Soup Kitchen and Saint Francis Inn. For students who are busy with other commitments, La Salle offers many seasonal and summer service opportunities, such as Secret Santa and the Appalachian trip. Last summer, 17 La Salle students also tra\'eled to Bolivia, where they undertook various forms of service and experienced the Bolivian culture first-hand. As a vibrant aspect of La Salle, the students of LSC offer their own talents in giving back. - Dan Murphy 'OS

Isc JUNIOR URBAN CHALLENGE "Leave to Serve." These words are common路 place among students and faculty alike here at La Salle. For juniors who partake in the "Urban Challenge," these words take on a more powerful meaning. Students leave the comforts of La Salle to spend time in Camden, a place ridden with poverty, crime, and violence. The "Urban Challenge" provides a unique chance to skim the surface of a life lived in poverty. For those who partake in the "Urban Challenge," it is an eye-opening experience. Students come to appreciate what they have and how blessed their lives really are. The challenge makes students reaLize thai poverty is a crucial problem in the world today and much must be done to create economic equality. Students come fare-to-face with dozens of uneducated or under路educated men, women, and children who live their days wondering whether they will see the sun tomorrow. Although the challenge is a one-night expe-

rience, the various activities the students perform while in Camden allow students to successfully innuence the lives of the people they meet. Before the challenge began, students were not acclimated to such a foreign lifestyle. Students were asked to be open to such a different way of life. Students realize the difficulties of living a life of poverty in Camden. When asked about his experience on the "Urban Challenge," one student remarked, "The employees at the Romero Center, where we stayed, put into perspective just how difficult and dangerous life can be in Camden." Certainly before students experienced the "Urban Challenge" they never would have thought to be thankful for the simple things in life. One can conclude that "Urban Challenge" provides students with new insight into the world around them. - John DeLucca 'OS

forum WINNING PERfORMANCES La Salle's Forum, commonly called the Speech and Debate Team, began the 07-08 season with the September Wake Forest University Tournament, performing very well.The highlight of the trip was Team President Antoine Albert, who advanced to the final round in Dramatic interpretation. Coached by La Salle alum Pete Eisenhower and 'TCilm Mom' Mrs. Smith, Antoine and the tnterpreters have continued to achieve success throughout the season, including AJltoine Albert's first place victory at the Yale invitational as well as freshman Eric Stone's qualifying to the State Tournament. Steve Kernytsky '08, coached by Ray Shay. has attained great success in extemporaneous speaking, earning a bid to the Tournament of Champions. The Lincoln Douglass Debate squad, coached by alum Steve McElroy, lead by Senior John Dilulio, who won first place at the Pennsbury Falcon Invitational, and Sean Janda, who qualfjjed for competition in the Pennsylvania state tournament, has made its mark in

the debate community. Their novices have also rapidly advanced to the top of the novice division. The policy dcbate team, coached by Br. Kevin Dalmassc, has also attained great success. Seniors Mike McCabe and T.J. McCarrick advanced to the quar路 terfinal round of the Big Bronx tournament. Mike Rajnherc '08 and John Sperger '08 also achieved success advancing to the semi-final round of the Villiger Tournament. The team's success was further deepened with the policy debate team ofT.J. Mc路 Carrick and John Sperger winning 15t place at the George Mason University Tournament in January. The sophomores of the policy debate team of Jim Benischeck and Josh Thorn are also rising to the occasion gaining recognition at cvery tournament they attend. With only three tournaments left, the team hopes to continue its dominance in the state, as well as solidify its dominance at the nalionallevel. - TJ McCarrick '08

band NOTES ON A SCALE La Salle has many opportunities for the aspiring young musician. based on scheduled band classes during the school day and private instrumental instruction. W Salle musicians participate ina myriad of extracurricular bands as well, including the pep band, which cheers on the football team from the slands; the pit orchestra, which provides all the music for La 5.111e's musicals; and the acclaimed competition jazz band, which competes against other high schools in the region. The skill of musicianship represented in the pit orchestra and competi* lion jazz band is an anomaly among high school musicians. The pep band is the largest b.lnd at La Salle, full of enthusiastic supporters of thei.r school, willing to dedicate many Frida~

theoddcouple 1+1=2? Can hvo divorced men share an aparhnent without driving each other crazy? That was the subject of L.. Salle's Fall Drama, Neil Simon's classic comedy The Odd Couple. The story is about two childhood friends, a slob named Oscar Madison (Frank Farrell '08) and a neat-freak named Felix Unger Uohn Dilulio '08), who move into the same apartment after Felix is thrown out by his wife. What starts as an arrangement behNeen friends soon turns into a nightmare as the two begin to realize that they can't stand living together. Their poker buddies Speed (Matt Dwyer '08), Murray (Mykk Hoffman '08), Vinnie (Sean Janda '10), and Roy (Vince Szczesniak '10) arc soon caught right in the middle of the growing tension. Much hilarity ensues, including an awkward dinner date with the ditzy

Pigeon sisters, Cedly (Catherine Begley '08, MSJ) and Gwendolyn (Barbara Spencer '08, GMA). In the end, we learn that the bonds of friendship are what matter most. A great deal of credit must be given to the stage and lighting crew that constructed the stage setting and allowed the show to run as smoothly as possible. Also, the cast and crew owe thanks to Laura Free '08 (MSJ), who wasan excellent prop and costume coordinator, and Drew Needham '09, who served as stage manager. Finally, this production would not have been possible without the flawless direction of Mr. Micky Dominick and Mr. Mark Norman. Both believed that they had the right personnel to create something truly special. The result speaks for itself. -John Dilulio 'OB

'The La L1e musical this year was "Singin' in the Rain", Orig路 inaUya hit movie starring Gene Kelly, this was the first time La Salle decided to put the production on stage. It was Colleen Durkin Lapowski's twentieth and final production at La Salle. The cast and crew worked hard to ensure she will remember her last show for the rest of her years. Rehearsals began in early January, and it was a fast three months of dedication from everybody involved. Choral Director Mark Norman was in charge of the vocal rehearsals. Mr. Joseph Vettori assisted in directing the pit band, conducted by senior Julian Tucker. Kim Williams, once again, was the dance choreographer. The story follows a film company thai is in jeopardy as silent pictures shift into talking pictures. Brian McGinley plays Don Lockwood, the head actor of the studio. Along with his buddy Cosmo Brown (MaH Dwyer), owner R.E Simpson (Kyle

Scheetz). agent Rod Dexter (lim Lapowski), and director Roscoe Dexter (Dean Buonomo), they have to deal with their nasty lead actress named Lina Lamont (Catherine Begley, MSJA), whose speaking voice does not traru;fer well to the talking pictures. Their only hope remains with a charming girl named Kathy Seldon (Kim Whitehill), who must dub in her voice for Lina's dialogue. The show was a huge success. As usual the dancing was phenomenal, with numbers like "Moses Supposes" and "Broadway Melody" played as the big hits. There were some impressive visual effects to create the rain on stage. Ultimately, the incredible mix of young talent within the cast, crew, and staff led to the show's remarkable run. Colleen's twenty year career definitely went out with a bang. and the 1...., Salle thealer will surely miss a great director who put her heart and soul into every production. -Matt Dwyer 'OS

kairos 37-57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62 2007-2008 has been a simply amazing year for L.l Salle's senior class, as well as the rest of the school. If any word can epitomize the year, it would have to be "change," We saw buildings rise and rules change; faces come, and faces go. As a senior, it wasn't the changes outside that brought our class together, but the changes inside. The changes over the course of (our years culminate in a sense of brotherhood and warmth that is evident and present every day in the hallways. A major reason for the SUrging brotherhood is Kairos. Even as a Kairos alumni and leader, it is dif~ ficult to explai.n to anyone just exactly what Kairos is. As Jack Blanke '08 said on 37-58, "hen if we wanted to tell people about this,

they just wouldn't get it until they experience it themselves... And one by one, we have seen each group come back to a place they can truly caLI their home. Out of my four years at La Salle, nothing comes close to the experiences I had on Kairos, but most importantly, I nol only got to be part of the Class of 'OS, but a class of brothers.

The Explorers' 2007 football team began their season with high expectations. They wanted 10 repeat last year's unbelievable season by securing another Ph..iladelphja Catholic

League title. The stage was set for a successful season with a high powered offense and a hard-working defense. laSalle's high-powen:.><:t passing offense was led by seniors John Harrison, joe Migliarese, Matt l11ari, Eric Heisner, Dennjs McBride, Dam Amodei, Tom Bender. and Matt Lynch. Providing constant protection for John in the pocket were senior offensive linemen Pat Morrow, Andrew GalbaJly, Jude McKenna. and Andrew Furlong. The Explorer defense continued its scrappy play with seniors Matt Alba, Matt Day, and Drew Ciammetti constantly blitzing into the oppositions' backfield. Seniors Kevin Mclaughlin, Nick Nocero, and Jim Thomas provided their support with tight coverage of wide outs and tight ends. The Explorers ran into trouble early in the season when several key players were struck with serious injuries. The leadership and experience of seniors Joe Migliarese, Ryan Warrender, and James McNally was greatly missed, but the Explorers rebounded when talented underclassmen stepped up to fill their shoes. Key contributors were juniors Mike Donohoe, Ryan Eidenshink, and Bob Siess, sophomores Sam Feleccia, Connor Hoffman, Steve Szostak, Steve Sinnott, and Matt DiGiacomo. The Explorers made it to the first round of the Catholic League Playoffs and went up against a talented Cardinal O'Hara team. Unfortunately, the Explorers were defeated by Cardinal O'Hara 31-7. However, the Explorers rebounded on Thanksgiving Day defeating Bishop McDevitt, 34-7. All Catholic Second Team Honors were awarded to Matt Alba and Pat Morrow. All-Catholic Honorable Mention was granted to Ryan Eidenshink, Andrew Wood, Bob Siess, Joe Migliarese, Mike Donohoe, and John Harrison. Although the 2007 La5.1l1e Explorers were not able to bring home a second PCLchampionship, the strong friendships that were formed and memories that were made in pursuit of this goal wiJl never be forgotten. - Andrew Wood '08

The 2007 Explorers came into the season with high hopes and with the weight of two consecutive PCl championships on their backs. Losing cleven starters the Explorers were ready for a fresh start to begin the 2007 season. They entered the season ranked 9th in Southeastern Pennsylvania after being ranked number one at the conclusion of last year. The Explorers started 0(( the season with big pre~ season wins against Holy Ghost Prep and Episcopal Academy. As they entered Catholic league play, the team accumulated an cleven game win streak under the leadership of Senior Captains Tom Smart, Bob Marzullo, B.]. Fit"Lgerald, and Dan Sacchetta. Some big wins for the Explorers in this ele\'en game winning streak were a I-a win in double OT against ortheast Catholic, a 2-1 win over Archbishop Ryan, and a 3-1 win over Archbishop Wood. Over the course of these games, the Explorers received key goals by seniors Kyle Dufresne, Patrick Sinnott, and Brett Haenn; while receiving tenacious defense by Brendan Kissman and company. LaSalle also received key play from senior Brendan DaCosta at flank mid~ field. The Explorers run of victories came to an end with a tough 2-1 loss against the 2007 PeL champs, Father Judge. The Explorers would go on to win their final two regular season games and finish the season with an overall record of 16--3-1, 13-2 in the Catholic League, scoring 53 gools while only giving up 12. Going into the playoffs ranked #2 in the Catholic League, the Explorers su((ercd a disappointing loss by way of penalty kicks to Archbishop Carroll. With another very successful season, the 2007 Explorers certainly lived up to the L.1 Salle name. - Dan Sacchetta '08

Things looked bleak for La Salle's cross country team after losing six of seven varsity members from last year. However, it was not long until runners from last year's JV and freshman teams filled voids. In the end, the team was able to pull together for a fifth straight win in the Philadelphia Catholic League and for a second year in a row, La Salle swept the league with victories in the JV and freshman races as well. The varsity squad. composed of seniors Tom Buoncristiano, Chris Fasy. and Dan Lowry, juniors Sean McCullough, and Pat Donnelly, and sophomores Tom O'Kane, Sean Quinn, and James Stevenson, showed that they were capable of continuing the La Salle legacy with good showings at the Paul Shorllnvitational, the Salesianum Invitational. and the Manh<1ttan Invitational. The team, led by Captains Brian Ledder, Chris Fasy, Dan Lowry, and Tom Buoncristiano, solidified its usual role of dominance in the Pel with another undefeatt."C! season in the league. The Explorers were coached to race competitively even under the worst conditions, which would come in handy the day of champs. The course at Belmont Plateau was soaked with mud the day of PCl champs, but when other teams faltered, la Salle stood strong. The freshmen set the tone with a victory and out+ standing performances by Brenden Stone and Seamus Morgan, going first and second. The IV continued this momentum, gCUing six run+ ners an the top ten. Stellar performances were made by JV champion James Stevenson, Dan laMorte, Ryan Werner, and Brian Ledder. The varsity race was led by Dan Lowry, getting the individual Pel title, with clutch finishes by Pat Donnelly, Tom O'Kane, Tom Buoncristiano, and Sean McCullough. In addition to winning Pel's, the varsity team came in 2nd at the East+ em State Championship Meet and was ranked 8th in the Northeast and 3rd in the State on dycstat.com, the national high school cross country and track website. With many key returns for next year's team, one thing seems clear: La Salle shows no signs of slOWing down and the best is yet to come. â&#x20AC;˘ Dan lowry 'OS

The taste of redemption was sweet for the La Salle Golf Team in 2007. After losing the Catholic League title by just 2 strokes the pre路 vious year, the golf team regrouped during their new fall season and brought home La Salle's first PCL Championship of the school year. The resounding victory at Champs, by a 34 stroke margin, was led by a core group of seniors: Patrick Melvin, Matt McGovern, Pat Knowles, and Anthony DePaul. This year the golf team's championship run began in midAugust; a change to a faU season, however, did little to rattle the determined mentality of this championship calibersquad. The team cruised to an undefeated season in the Catholic League, showing that the team was ready to reclaim the PCL title. The day of Championships proved to be La Salle's day; all 8 starters received All Calholk honors, a feat that has not been achieved in over 5 years. Those golfers who received such a high honor are: Patrick Melvin, Mati McGovern, Anthony DePaul, Kevin Genuardi, Kevin Seybert, Tucker Durkin, Kyle DiGiacobbe, and Jack Ulan. Even though the season is over, the Golf Team looks forward 10 its annual Myrtle Beach trip in the spring, where they will prepare for yet another PCLChampionship in the fall. - Pat Melvin '08

The 2007 La Salle Waler Polo season started and ended with the same thing - commitment. This commitment was evident from the beginning of the season, when the coaches and players made the choice to start preseason training earlier than they had in any previous year and it continued throughout the season, shining through even during the final minutes of the team's last game. It was through every team member's commitment to each other, and to the program, thai led to the season being a memorable one. The Explorers were tested right from the start. TIle toughest opponents the team would face all year came during the first few weeks of the season. While the initial games resulted in losses that tested the team's morale, the players remained committed to the winning atti路 tude they had adopted during the preseason. Their hard work paid off, leading to a five game winning streak, with key wins over Pen~ nridge and Germantown Academy illustrating that the Explorers were ready to challenge the most formidable of opponents. The Explorers entered the Easterns Championships with the knowledge that they had endured an extremely difficult schedule and were capable of beat~ ing anyone. It was only fitting that the final game against GA would go into three over~ times. The team once again showed its heart by coming back from 4 goals down to an eventual 6~5 win, thanks to a miraculous skip shot from Todd Domanski. The 2007 season provided the team with plenty of ups and downs, but more important~ Iy, it provided challenges that proved the team's heart again and again. While Seniors Connor Cunningham, Drew Pallazo, Todd D0manski, J,J. Houldin, and Greg Woods will be missed, the team has its strongest ever group of players returning. Next year's team will be able to look back on the 2007 season as a re~ minder to stay committed to each other and to the team's goals, and success is SUrE' 10 follow. ~ JJ Houldin '08

The L.:, SaUe basketball team made the playoffs for the second straight season this year and

ended up losing in the playoffs to North Catholic, who ended up winning the Catholic League. The Explorers were led by a good core

group of seniors with a great supporting cast of underclassmen. The season started out with a very tough non-league schedule and the team did very well against some of the top programs in the area. In addition, they beat one of the top teams in Florida, La s..,lIe路Miami. These tough non-league games were scheduled to get

the team prepared for the grueling Catholic League North. The grueling nature of the Northern division was quite evident this year. The Explorers had ten of its twenty six games come down to one possession, with three of those games going into overtime. Some of the most memorable moments would include Joe Migliarese's game winning lay-up against Archbishop Ryan and Matt Crozier's last sec路 and shot to beat Archbishop Wood in overtime. Another one of the great moments from this season was the play-in game against Judge. The 6th man was in full effect and gave the Explorers the advantage before the tip-off. The Explorers jumped to an early lead and never looked back. They led for most of the game and came out with a 54-46 victory. La Salle had two players honored as AllCatholics, CJ Aiken as 2nd team and Matt Crozier as 1st team. Although the Explorers post season was abruptly halted by North Catholic, the team ended up with a very suc路 c<,ssflll season in returning to the playoffs. - B.j.

The season began in memory of 1st Lt. Travis Manion, a LaSalle wrestler from the class of 1999 who was killed serving his country in Iraq. La Salle's own tournament was renamed The Travis Manion Memorial Tourna路 ment, in his honor. Going into this season the Explorers had a lot to live up to after winning the PCL Championship last season. The team was led by Senior Captains Matt Mooney and Mike Furlong, as well as Sophomore Captain q Bums. The team began the year with a tough tournament schedule. In those tournaments, La Salle placed 5th at azareth, 4th at Penn Manor, 2nd at Hatboro-Harsham's Wetzel Tournament, -Ith at the Devil Duals, 6th at CcntrOll Mountain Duals, and they won the Manion Memorial Tournament. A great moment of the year was when Matt Mooney won his looth varsity match during the Central Mountain Duals. At La Sallc's own tournament the team placed 12 wrestlers including 3 champions: sophomorc, Ryan Ginsburg; freshman Joe Mazzi; and senior, Mike Furlong. As for dual meets, the team started with a big win over Conwell Egan, followed by a setback to rival Northeast Catholic, dropping a tight match 33-25. The Explorers went on to win the rest of their PeL matches. The team entcn.~ the playoffs and defeated Archbishop Wood and Monsignor Bonner. Entering the championship, the team had high expectations, but lost to North Catholic, 29-20. La Salle then entered the indjvidual tournaments starting with PCLlndividuals. Here, the Explorers placed 2nd, behind orth Catholic, with 3 PeL Champions in Mazzi, Mooney, and Cinsburg. Next for the Explorers was the PA individual state tournament, where L.1.Salle placed -Ith as a team. Here. the team had 10 place-winners, including 8 national qualifiers. At National Preps the team did very well. Six of the seven wrestlers who competed won matches in a tough field of competitors. As a team, the Explorers took 17th in the Nation, with two All-Americans, Matt Mooney (7th place) and Joey Mazzi (4th place). . Mike Furlong 'OS

As always La Salle's hockey program provided 3 highly competith'e teams to compete against many of the top high school teams in the area. These 3 teams competed at3 different levels, including JVAA, Varsity AA, and

Varsity AAA. The hockey program will graduate 13 seniors this year, all of whom played for a team all 4 years. Of these 13 seniors, 4 play for the VaT· sity AAA te<lm including: Adam Berkle, TJ

Laessig, Dan Pyne, and Kyle Zoldy. Mike Roche. Mike Rongione, Brad Hollingsworth, Frank CaSSidy, Collin Miller. and Christian Baron are the seniors from the Varsity AA team, while Mike Fabiszewski. Tony DePaul, and Nick Pederson are the graduating seniors from the JV AA team. The JV AA team posted an impressive 19-2 record throughout the 2007-2008 season. While maintaining this re<:ord the team competed hard all season and captured the #1 seed in their league. After suffering a rough start, the Varsity AA team battled back and finished with a 13-7-2 re<:ord. The AA team completed their season with a dominant 8-1 win over a talented Malvern team and took 9th place in their league. After suffering a disappointing playoff loss last season, the AAA team returned with the core of the team, as well as a few new players in order to make a run at yet another Ayers' Cup. The team opened their season with big wins over rival schools, such as St. Mary's, The Hill SchooL and Wyoming Seminary. The day after Christmas the team looked to add to their success by winning the Mt. Saint Charles Tournament. The team defeated the top teams in the New England area and took home the 1st place trophy. Along with this accomplishment, the team also captured its 2nd conse<:utive Meadville Championship at another tournament in Meadville, PA. The AAA team finished the season with an impressh'e 26--1-2 record and headed into the playoffs with the #1 seed. They hope to conhnue their success with a Flyers' Cup Championship and hopefully, a state championship. • Kyle Zoldy '08

In preparing for the 2008 Indoor Track and Field season coaches Pat Devine and Greg Bielecki, along with Tom Devlin and Matt Derrick had high hopes fora successful year. After a number of strong showings by key runners early in Ihe season, the coaches were quickly assured that a sensational season was in the near future. The underclassmen were key contributors to the leam. Freshman Beau Whitman was the PCL Pole Vault Champion. Stand out sophomores Tom O'Kane, Nick Molloy, and James Stevenson helped pace the squad and assure the coaching staff that the future is indeed bright. The juniors, led by future captains Pat Donnelly, Sean McCullough, and Bobby Long, as well as long jumper Ryan Patrick, were intricate parts of a team that came together at PCLChampionships to put together solid third place finish. Certainly senior leadership was the motivation behind this team. The Class of 2008 returned four First Team All-Catholic athletes: Dan Lowry (2008 peL Mile and 3,000 meier champion), Greg Barksdale (2008 PCl High Jump Champion), Steve Dolan, and Brian Ledder. These four athletes along with 2008 Honorable Mention All-Catholic Hurdlers, Mark Franzen and Andrew Dowds, 2008 AlICatholic in the Shot Put Tom Barr, Chris Fasy, and Tom Buoncristiano were major contributors to a successful team. The highlight of the season came from the Distance Medley Relay consisting of Pat Donnelly, Anthony Kent, Brian ledder, and Dan Lowry. The DMR ran a record time at the Pennsylvania State Indoor Championship Meet on March 1, 2008. All fouf were First Team All-State and their time of 10:15.89 was the fastest time in the United States in 2008. The DMR ran the third fastest high school time ever in the United States. The 2008 indoor season certainly closed on a good note, with a definite sense of accomplishment. - Steve Dolan '08 Top Lefl: Tom O'Kane distance runner Left: Sean Brooks sprinter

Over the past twenty years not much has changed for La Salle'sswimming program. The team, led by Head Coach Frank Lichtner and Assistant Coaches, Dennis Blah, Steve Dunch路 eskie, Jim Tate, and Kevin RicHe!, captured its 20th consecutive Catholic League Championship in early March of 2008. This victory came after well-deserved accomplishments al the National Catholics (3rd place) and Eastern lnterscholastic Championships (2nd place). At the start of the season, the swim team was reminded of the history and tradition that the coaches challenged the team to keep alive. From the start of the four-month season, the coaches saw something special in this year's team. Their heart and teamwork was alive inside and outside of the pool, as the team practiced hard and took on new obstacles in community service. In December, the team purchased, wrapped, and delivered gifts to a poor Albanian family in Kensington. This season was truly a ground-breaking one for La Salle Swimming. Captains 1J Houldin, Todd Domanski, and Greg Woods succeeded in leading the team by example; as lap times began to drop, a sense of teamwork and friendship was established. As the year progressed, La Salle was undefeated in dual meets and headed into its final appearance at the Eastern Interscholastic Championships. Junior Ted Walker had a pair of top-6 individual finishes and Blase Szyszko placed 3rd in the 100 breaststroke. Blase went on to break both the school and league records in the breaststroke, while James Mahoney won an inspirational race at the PCL Championships. The seniors especially are very thankful for Coach Lichtner and his ability 10 better the team not only as swimmers, but as individuals. GOOD LUCK to next year's learn, who wiu move onto the PIAA and new competition! And remember, "You don't have to feel good to swim fast" ...Coach Frank Lichtner. - Greg Woods '08

This year the bowling team was ready to start bowling and play the other teams when the month of November came. The team was set with four returning Varsity players and one new edition: seniors, John Fischer, Kelvin Lam, Anthony Liberato, Dan Erhardt; and Junior Jimmy Robinson. The first half of the season was slow with not too many wins, and after the holidays, tragedy struck when Robinson transferred. His spot was filled by another senior, Chris Johnson, who had vastly improved since the previous years. He stepped up and bowled like a champ, never giving up. However, the learn was not able 10 hold up against some of the other teams in the pel which had many more consistent players who frequently shot above 200. Even though the team did not consistently win, it still put up a valiant effort and showed that it could compete with the best of the best in the league. Other seniors on the team were Jason Raschiatore, Jonathan Weidner, and JohnMichael Dronson, all of whom rose to the occasion when they were needed to fill in for varsity and bowled well in their JV matches. Overall, the year was a success even though the team did not make it to the playoffs. Everyone on the team improved. The team won some games, and came close to winning oth~ ers, but everyone had fun which was the most important lhjng. In the end this season was encouraging for the future leaders of the team to carryon the name and bring home wins. Even with the senior leaders departing for college. those in line to fill their spots are ready for the chance to prove themselves and do what it takes to get things done.

The La Salle Explorers are approaching this outdoor track and field season with the intention of winning the PCLdlampionship. Coming off of their fantastic indoor season, things are looking good for the team. The Distance Medley Relay team that consisted of Anthony Kent, Briem Ledder, Dan Lowry, and Pat Donnelly set not only a OC\'\' school record by 12 seconds, but also a new state record. The DMR was also ranked number one in the nation. The DMR is a glimpse at the dominance that La Salle is developing in the distance events on and off the track. The team also has some fantastic potential in some of its underclassmen athletes, such as Beau Whitman who won the pel indoor championship as a freshman. Sophomore Dylan Gavin also shows great potential in both the shot put and the discus. Field seniors Greg Barksdale and Tom Barr are also displaying strength in their respective events. Greg, in the high jump, won the PCl championships and ended the season with a personal record of 6'6", which tied la Salle's indoor record. Tom Barr had a good indoor season placing 5th in the state in shot put, with a personal record of 53'8.25". Along with these leaders, the Explorers have many new promising prospects for the new season that will aid the team on its journey towards a PCl champi~ onship. These are just of few of the key ele路 ments that will add up to a successfuJ outdoor season for the outdoor track and field team, and they are working towards achieving their goals. -Tom Barr 'OB

The La Salle Rowing Team entered the fall season under new leadership. Coach Chris Doyle took the helm as the team's new head coach for the 2007-2008 year. With years of rowing under his belt .. nd his winning attitude, he is ready to prepare the team for the upcoming seasons. The Explorers' successes in the fall quickly filtered into the dreaded, but beneficial winter training. With a precisely designed work plan, the winter produced the results needed. However, lust when everything was going as planned and we were ready to head into the spring season, we received word thai our boathouse had been condemned. We wondered if we would e....en be able to row again. but Coach Doyle worked tirelessly to find a solution. Before we knew it, Coach Doyle had us cleaning oul the old boathouse and moving to our new rowing sanctuary at the Whitemarsh Boat Club. We have been warmly welcomed at our new residence, thanks to the help of our coaches, alumni, and Whitemarsh Bo..,t Club staff. The past few years have been times of re路 bUilding and this year we hope to put in the final touches. With success in the fall and boatshaking erg times, this year looks to be one of the best teams in years, from the freshmen to the seniors. Most importantly, our past strugSles in the Varsity 8100k to be put to a stop this year. During our training we have brought out the motto, "La Salle Crew ... Fearless" and it has been going according to plan. Hopefully. the hard work and determinalion will translate into much success. . Nigel Gross 'OS

Coming off of a spectacular PCL Championship last spring, the tennis team was highly motivated to bring another Catholic League Tennis Title back to La Salle. Tennis at L.:, Salle has always been successful, and starting off this year, we were very excited to carryon this tradition as well as the tradition of excellence within L.:, Salle. The team was destined to have another great spring with seven returning players from last year's Varsity squad. Led by seniors Mike Oliver, Nate Meyers, and Kyle Scheetz, this year's team has been filled with pure enthusiasm. While it is full of experience with other veteran standouts including juniors John Austin L.:1mprecht and Ryan Marcante, as well as seniors Ryan White, Anthony Witkowski, and Matt Illari, there was a lot of talent from new contributors including seniors Brad Hollingsworth, Mike Collinelli, Kyle Dufresne, Sean Moffa, and Brian McCinly, as well as juniors Bob Law, Joe Smart, and Brian Bonder. It is truly because of the team we had that this season will be remembered forever! Led by veteran coaches, Mr. Bill Geiger and Mr. Joseph Radvansky, the team was ready for another challenge and sure hoped to deliver. After playing well in preseason the team looked anxiously to upcoming matches, especially 51. Joe's Prep, who we defeated in last year's championship. It is true Ihat, "Individuals win matches, but teams win championships!", and I am proud to say that the men on the tennis squad this year were a team! We were truly prepared to face any challenge. .

With new additions and seasoned veterans, the Explor路 ers hope to make a run for the 2008 Catholic League title. The Explorers' offense should be producti\'e this season. The team will be able to manufac路 ture runs from many different spots in the lineup. Seniors Frank Pierson, Jeff Murtha, Mati Abel, Andrew Wood., Mike Higgins, and Jason Raschiatore wiII provide offensive leadership for the team. Juniors Tyler Freeman, Kevin Johnson, and Kevin Kelley, along with sopher more Joe Harvey. look to follow the lead of the seniors, producing wins. The pitching this season is once again anchored by lefties, Mati Day and Shawn O'Neil. Both are crafty pitchers who throw strikes and dominate hitters. Other pitchers that will see time in relief are juniors John Bernhardt and Jeff Schill. Senior Joe Corcoran and sophomore Joe Harvey wiJI also be getting the call to throw for thc tC<'lm. The defense this year is very solid. Expect to see Andrew Wood, Frank Pierson, Tyler Freeman and Mike Higgins making plays in the infield; with Matt Abel, and Jeff Murtha leading the outfield. Kevin Kelley, Kevin Johnson and Joe Aloia will also be seen patrolling the outfield. The Explorers expect to have a great 5e<1son. The team has a strong offense. great pitching. and solid defense.

After falling short in the Eastern Pennsylvania State Championship last year, the 2008 La Salle lacrosse team will look to redeem themselves this year by seaJing the deal this season. Although the Explorers losl a strong senior class to graduation, they will still have the talent to take this team far in the playoffs. With the strong leadership of coaches BiD Leahy and Tony Resch, this team could be holding up a stale championship trophy at the end of the season. Juniors Pete Schwartz. Randy Forster. and Westy Hopkins will lead what looks to be a strong attack unit this year. The attack will have the support of a talented and athletic midfield comprised of seniors Conrad Ridgway. Matt Lynch, and Patty Sinnott along with juniors Derek Bogorowski, Ryan Eidenshink, and Gordy Wells. Together, the Explorers attack and midfield units will form an offense whkh should have no trouble putting the ball in the back of the net. Returning, starting goalie Niko Amato will anchor a defense that will make it extremely difficult for opposing teams to score this year. Senior Eric Heisner and juniors Tyler Knarr, Tucker Durkin, Mike Noone, ,lnd Tyler Houchins will make up this intimidating group of defenders.The Explor路 ers are a promising team that looks to have a great season ahead of them. La Salle Lacrosse should be fun to watch as the tcam works hard toward winning both the PCLand State Championships this year.
