As athletes we are ^ le to express life as an individual and as a team. Teamwork goes a long way and as an athlete, I learned that dedication and hard work are the keys to success. Vfhen a student partakes in a sport, she makes a commitment not only to herself but also to her team. An athlete is a motivated and nxjlti-faceted student who can’t wait to get on the field or on the court to enjoy the game and have fua 75

cCibrary Council zMs. T)olores ChCc%eougb Students who are active members oh the Library Council keep me on m y toes. Because the girls are interested in undertaking m any library related projects whether planning a poetry festival for the school community/ organizing a book discussion for interested students! arranging origami sessions for folding cranes and paper ornaments! or developing a Web Cite for the Council - I feel the need to be at least one step ahead. The Council then keeps me busy because I. like the Council members, want the best o f libraries. This means we both mast work to see that the library and its offerings provide a quality library pregram.

Granny, From the time you were born, you were always my little girl. You brought Such joy to my life. You are loving, as well as caring towards your family. You are concerned about your education as well as your future, and dedicated in your work. I only hope this continues to be so and wish all the best for you. With Lots of Love, Nana Danny Girl, I was there in the hospital when you were born and was one of the very first people to see you. Now, as I watch you grow, I am extremely proud to know that you are my very first granddaughter. Your name carries great responsibility but I know that if anyone can live up to it, it will be you. Best wishes to you. '' Love Always, Nane ^ Eyes, You are my very first niece and a beautiful young lady. I enjoy our conversation as we debate history and talk about everything and yet, nothing at all. Though, I am always complaining about your grades, I want you to know that I am enormously proud of you;; The complaints are just to push you a little harder. You are surely someone to admire and love. Best wishes to you. Love, / Mamoo Paul Danny, ^ I love you and am so proud of all your accomplishment. YOu are a strong, intelligent, loving, and caring daughter, but above all you are honest and truthful, which is why I can never cease to forget how lucky I am to be your mother. Dan, I admire your strength and courage. You are not only a daughter to me but also a friend and a teacher. I wish you the best in whatever you set out to do and I am truly proud of you. Know that I am always there for you. With Lots of Love, Mother Guitrie Didi, You are not only my big sis, but also my best friend. When we were little, I was your biggest follower. Now, when I need a shoulder, I cannot help but look for yours. Going to schools in different states has not drawn us apart. Instead, it strengthened our bond. You are so beautiful and simply so wonderful and smart, that I cannot help but love and admire you. All the Best, Deeona Diana, You are one of the most wonderful sisters in the worid. Your kind heart and bright smile could warm anyone's heart. You are the joy in many things and everywhere you go people are always revived. I cannot believe you are going to coilege. I remember us playing when we were just children and now we are both grown and have different personalities. Your unselfishness and willingness to help anyone is quite remarkable. Love, Amanda Diana, You are a kind, but strict oider sister. Thank you for always setting me right. I know that it is only because you care. I wish you the best in you future and wili miss you when you go to college. You are a great role model for me. Love, Angela

Wow time has really flew it seems like just yesterday when we were all getting ready to go to Ursula and now we can’t wait to leave. Niaja I jus wanna thank you for everything. You are truly the greatest friend anyone could ask for and I want to thank God for giving us the opportunity to alll prosper and not let foolish nonsense separate us. Olivia words really cant express the bond we share together. We had both great times as well as not so great times but in the end our friendship manages to strengthen. Although we won’t be going to the same college I feel our friendship will never be lost because the bond we have can never be broken. Jannelly you are one of the craziest girls I know. I feel it’s faith that allows certain people to come together and the friendship we have established can never be replaced. In the future I hope we can continue our wonderful friendship. Love Ya, Monique
I love ya gurl. Though we have only gotten to know each other since junior year, I'm glad that we have gotten close. You know that your like a sister to me and I am here for you regardless where I go in college. Thanks for listening to me with my crazy stories. Luv ya Mo-Nizique: Well, we have known each other since freshman year. A s the years progressed, so has our friendship. You are one o f the craziest friends I have, believe it or not..Lol..But I love you just the same. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors Thanks for your support these past four years.
