To O ur Darling D aughter C hnstinc It is hard to believe th a t in a few short m onths you w ill be going o f f to college. It seems like only yesterday we were there a t your birth. They p u l those little Sm urf gloves and hat on you...you looked adorable. It seems we ju st turned r around and we were bringing you to St. Dorn's fo r your first day o f school. Your m other and I were so upset. B ut not you: you said to leave and you would be fine and you were. We blinked and you were leading the kindergarten graduation ceremony. Next thing we knew you were m aking your first Holy Communion. Once again the blink o f an eye you were in the Seventh Grade and rnakirg your Confirmation. We turned around and you were graduating elementary school and going to High School a t M t. St. Ursula. / r'crrtembn' our First Father-Daughter Dance as though it was yesterdcry. But th a t was three dances ago. A ll the International N ights, the M other-Daughter Communion Breakfast, all the Open Houses where you served as an Ambassador: all your years as Cheerleader and Captain o f the Cheerleaders, and being the President o f the Italian Club. Let us no t forget your Sweet ItP Birthday party. That was truly a night to remember. We can't forget all you 've done outside o f the school The volunteering you ve done fo r your schools, your parish and outside o f your community. AH your years o f dance a t M s. Andrea's Studio, the recitals, and competitions. Youâ€™ve come a b n g wery from dancer, to assistant dance teacher, to teaching your own class. I enjoyed m y few years dancing, especially m y last year dancing b y your side a t the recital and competition. Your mom has enjoyed dancing side b y side w ith you also and this year w ill be more m eaningful to her because its your last year a t the studio, and your last dance together. A n d now you wilt be going o f f to College. Your mom and I w ill m iss you vety much, but this is an im portant pa rt o f grow ing up. To be on your own. A responsible individual. I know th a t mom and I have done a good job in raising you and are very proud o f you in all th a t you have accomplished in such a short time. Also never forget your fa ith in Cod, as He has alw ays been good to us and especially you. You know how hard mom and I tried to have a child and it took ten years. So on the day o f your B aptism ,!gave you back to the Lord as He had given you to us. I know WE are all happy w ith the w ay things turned out. Good luck and m ay Cod bless you always. Love, Dad, M om arud Dancer

'We will be friends until forever, just you wait see." - Pooh Bear "Friendship is the only cement that hold the world together"

I cant believe we’re all finally seniors...let alone how the five of us formed something so unexpected. 1st off to Jill, my "cousin" more like a sis you mean alot you punk and if I could I would write a bible but Imma keep it short, I love you and that's it. lol Christina...its like we lived on valentine ave, and didn't know that til' 11th grade and all I got to say is whenever your down think of the time we played soccer in the streets with a stranger. Amanda, we’ve engaged in convos before but it was until last year, we became tight and I'll never forget how we trooped to castle hill just to get a baked potato at Wendy’s! And Missy, yeah I left you last, you're 1 special kid I tell u. its like where do I begin with you? I always thought you were some snooty chick but then after a few gym classes I learned how down to earth you are and a great great friend, lol you know you pulled me out of some jams .anywho >tear jerker< I love u guys and If ya need me u know where the headquarters is located.-fin-

5 Girls each different from each other have grown to be more then friends we have become Elite. In June 2003 we will be saying Good-bye to the classroom, hallways, bathrooms, and Youth Ministry at Ursula. You guys have been my Guidance Counselors, My Sisters, and My comic Relief! Words can't express my Gratitude for everything you guys have done. When I needed you, you were there. God has sent me four people in my life that helped me become the person I am today, and for that I am truly blessed. In the Future when someone asks me "what was the best thing you got out of Ursula?" I will simply say "Elite!" "A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before her I may think aloud."

I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends. DA EUTE..,WOW! TOO MANY WORDS TO EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL ABOUT EVERYTHtNG..GRADUATION, OUR LIH LE EL1TE-SCAPADES....AND OF COURSE'YOU GUYZ!! NEXT YEAR WILL BRING MANY CHALLENGES AND WE'LL BE MOVING ON UP TO THE BIG WORLD..WOW-HOW EXCITING! TWINNY, I KNOW THAT WHEREVER WE GO FOR COLLEGE WE WILL ALWAYZ BE AS TIGHT AS WE ARE TODAY, POSSIBLY CLOSER, I LOVE U! MISSY, OH THE DRAMA! I WILL MISS OUR LETTERS ABOUT DA DAILY STRESS WE GO THROUGH EACH DAY. OUR BUSINESS WILL BE GREAT "ELITE PRODUCTIONS" WE'LL BE BETTER THAN THE WEDDING PLANNER! CHRISTY, TOO MANY MOMENTS WITH U TO PUT ON DIZ PAGE."SMITHERZ!! MASSAGE MY CRANIUM!" I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR BONDING MOMENT WHEN WE GOT OUR EARZ PIERCED AND OF COURSE WHEN U SAVED ME FROM THE MEXICAN...THANX TALI! MANDEE, 0 JESUS, PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR OBJECTS FALLING ON U,"DUUUUDE! UR GREATNESS IN A BOTTLE!" U’VE GIVEN ME MOST OF DA "HAPPY" WORDS DAT R IN MY VOCABULARY TODAY....YAY HAPPINESS! EXPECT A ROAD TRIP TO WHATEVER COLLEGE UR AT FROM US! WELL U GUYZ...ITZ BEEN DA FUNNIEST. MOST EXCITING 2 YRS! WE MUST CONTINUE OUR JOURNEY INTO DA FUTURE AND ALWAYS REMEMBER DA "ELITE" -CLINK-

"True friendship is when five friends can walk in opposite directions, yet remain side by side." Dude We Made it SWEEET!!! How Exciting...You guys have been my pack of life savers...without you I may have never survived junior year...l am seriously going to miss you when we go to college...You guys were a gift from God,..he knew exactly who to send me...U have been there for me no matter what and I thank u all for that...ln a few months we will all be moving on to bigger and not necessarily better but different things, we will be in different schools taking different subjects...We will be in really different worlds, but no matter how far away we are our friendship will last and be there when we reunite because we are ELITE...I love you all, and I have opened up to u guys more than neone else ever in da history of da world...let me stop with da mushyness and save it 4 Your yearbooks....Good Luck in college...we will always have youth ministry "What are friends? A single soul in FIVE bodies."

Who would have thought that the girl with the cool book bag in my homeroom freshman year, her friend with the funny laugh who likes to dance, the quiet girl with the glasses, the girl with the big eyes and the crest overalls, and me, would come together and form a bond that can only be described as "ELITE". Within such a short amount of time you all have opened my eyes and help form Missy, Swizz Miss, Missay, Momo .. .Marisa. We have not only been friends to one another, but pillars of support and a second family to one another. Thank you for not only being there for me, but also showing me what TRUE friendship is when I thought it didn’t exist, that is the best gift of all. Love ya’II bunches! MUBZ! A good friend would bail you out of jail BUT a TRUE friend would be sitting next to you saying "we’re Dead"

Christina, As the day God Blessed me with you, my baby girl, raising you and watching you learn and mature has enriched and fortified my life. You blossomed into a wonderful young lady that is now an M.S.U graduate. Your intelligence, warmth, humor, and compassion are qualities with which God had Blessed you. You Demonstrate these traits every day. There are no goals you cannot achieve by doing the best you are capable of. I am confident that you will succeed and the world will be better because you lived in it. CONGRATULATIONS! Good Luck and God Bless you always. Always There For You Love, Pappi Dear Christina, It seems it was just yesterday, I walkedyou to your first day of school, where have all those years gone by so fast. Congratulation my little rabbit fufu. You have turned info a beautiful young lady, and now its time to expand your wings like a butterfly and fly to reach your highest goals. Don't let anyone or anything stop you. You have made me extremely proud of whom you are. Mom Christy. I just want to let you know how proud I am of you. You have matured immensty over the years and have grown into a beautiful young lady. I wish you all the beauty and rewards life has to offer. You will see that this road of life is very bumpy. Never lose your determination to succeed. Keep you priorities straight, and most important Never let go of your dreams. I love you more than words can say and admire you greatly. You are not only my sister, you are also my Best Friend, Good Luck! Love Your Sister, Jenny

An angel here, an angel there. I'm surrotinded by angels everywhere When I’m in the middle of a terrible storm They come with their candles to keep me vvann. An angel to comfort, an angel to guide. An angel to fill that dark hole inside. An angel to cry on, an angel who cares. I'm surrounded by angels, eveiywhere. The angels who reach out when times are rough Who'll listen to my heartache and all kinds of stuff Bright in the sunshine and in dark of mght The angels surround me W i t h comforting light. 1 guess God is busy and can't come on down To give me a smile and take care of my frown So He sent a fe’w angels to brighten my day And help to carry my burdens away. So thank you. dear angels, more than you'll know For watering my happiness and making it grow!

To my zoo family, I wish you guys all the best in the future. Thanks for being the best friends you possibly could be. Never forget the moments we shared. I wish you all the best in the wild life \ Love Always

To animal familia, I want to thank all of you for being the greatest friends,for bringing me up when I was down. I will always remember the good times we had at .MSU and I will never forget them or you. Love always
