amily life is very important to students at Eastsid< Catholic. Many Seniors have siblings attending th< same school. This gives these siblings a chance to becom better friends. Some ECHS siblings-friends include Ro’ and Vicki('02) Drass, Amy and Mary('03) Lin, Brand) Chantell('Ol), Danny('03), and Rocky('03) Lutz, Jackie am Jason('02) McWalters, Eric and Carmen('02) Nelson, Ar drew and Rebekah('02) N orris, Brian and Patrickf'CE Reymann, Michael and Steven('03) Ross, Christina an Scott('Ol) Sepic, Kelly and Kayla('03) Shaw, Michelle an Jeff('Ol) Thiry, Phillip and Annaliese('03) Weber, and Kelb Alison('Ol), and Katie('03) Wright. Michelle Thiry note: "The only problem with having a little brother here is m brother knows everything I do at school." Christina an Scott Sepic get along well. "W e talk about our day at nigh and I can always go to him ," she said. Kelly Shaw said tl bad thing about having Kayla at the school was that tl Senior boys talk to Kayla more than they talk to he Becasue Vicki Drass knows Roy's struggles with cancer ar medication, Roy knows "It helps because she understam and can always—almost always—cheer me up."Althou^ there are a few drawbacks, the Seniors know they c< always go to their younger siblings with their probler because more than siblings they are good friends, most the time.

The Open Road

S

aturday, Septem ber 25th, 54 Seniors took to the "open road," embarking on the ‘99 Senior Pilgrimage.

Starting at the base of Snoqualmie Falls, scaling the ravine, and hiking 12 miles to McDonald Park (Carnation), the Seniors engaged in an active metaphor for life's journey.

Three events stood out on this adventure: rock toss~at the beginning of the pilgrimage throwing away old images of self and life: ravine scaling—finding within one's self the strength to face fears and overcome obsticles; b onfirecandy, warmth, rest and questions inviting the Seniors to share who each is as person for others. .

Throughout the long hike, Seniors were noticed playing frizbee, eating, discussing important issues, "having too much fun to complain about being tired."

Senior Sarah McWilliams summarized the day with a thank you to Campus Minister John King and teachers Mr. Kittridge, Mr. Stein, Ms. Lindgren, and principal Glen Lutz for providing the pilgrims with a day to "have time to be with and learn about ourselves, our class and our God".

Certainly, the sixteen hours of the Pilgrimage provided time and opportunity to share and grow closer as a class as the Seniors prepared for the open road of life.

—Jenn Geels

Process Procrastination

[IS IS IT! Counselor M rs. A nnie Roth listens as M ichael Redm an goes over applications and a list of questions. Early decision applications w ere due by vem ber. The counselors asked that each senior subm it all college applicars, all essays, and a list of w ho w as com pleting reference letters by the first ek of December. For procrastinators, Thanksgiving break w as very busy!

W hen I was asked to write a story on procrastination, I figured, "w ho better?" A few weeks later I started writing. This is not about procrastination in general, but on the specific subject of the college process. Personally, being a procrastinator myself, I know that I am far behind where I probably should be at this time.

I think the biggest reason for putting everything off is the sheer amount that is needed to do. I know that when I sit down to do college-related work, I start to feel overwhelmed. W here should I start? How do I figure out what college is for me? Should I go tour a school, even if I don't know if I will like it. To which colleges should I apply? Should I applly to many or just a few?

Should I use the same essay for all the applications? Will someoone even read the application essays? Should I take the SAT, ACT, or both. AP test or credits through BCC? How will I get enought financial aid to make it throught not one but all four years? W ill I be finiiiished in four years? W hat area of study really interests me enough to determine m y life-time career?

There is just so m uch to do and I always think I have all the time in the world to do it. But I don't! Deadlines will be here before I know it, and you know that I will be scrambling at the last minute. It's ok. I w ork well under pressu re-d on 't you?

’imior Year—It's great. As experienced ECHS students the JUNIORS were ready to stand out from the crowd, o catch and make their own the spirit of ECHS, they demonstrated their talents as individuals and a class.

Knowing the way around campus, parking on the Junior Strip (somewhat closer to the school), going on Destiny, planning the Prom, making friends, thinking about (but not-ready-to-worry-about) college, doing the pre-labs for the chemistry experiments, gaining new insights in US History—the Juniors had a year to remember as they began the count down to their last high school year—2000-2001.

COLLEGE BOUND! MAKING EVERY MOMENT COUNT. John Lange and M ichael Pim pleton take a break from :om m unity service at Bellevue's M eydenbauer Rehabilitation Center to study for a m ath test. Juniors rad m astered tw o im portant strategies—utilizing a study partner and m axim izing any available tim e :or study. Juniors w ere w ise enough to know that studies and service activities helped build the future.

n preparing students for the PS AT test, the teachers told them to remain calm and not become carried away. The students received huge booklets on vocabulary and math. Pack­ ets and speeches only served to put some in a state of panic. These exams project the scores or index numbers for the student on their SA T 's—the college adm ission tests.

W hen October 12th, the national day for taking the PSAT arrived, students were un­ derstandably anxious. Three hours of math and verbal tests were followed by the long wait for results.

This winter when the scores arrived the excitement grew. Everyone wanted to see their index numbers. Some students have enrolled in large SAT classes to ensure their scores will be high.

Next, the juniors sign up for their junior appointments, at which they visit with their counselor and parents in order to go over their options for college. This is one of their first official steps in becom ing a senior and heading off to college.

‘Tuneless friendsflipsI T u n io r year is a special year for friendship. It is a time when the I people whom students have known since freshman year becom e their best friends. Between the freshman and junior year the students have matured and grown in many different ways.

The relationships that they have junior year becom e deeper and friendships are more likely to last. These bonds have lasted both through the good times and the bad. Junior year can also be a time when people branch out and make friendships outside their norm al group of friends. It has been the friends with whom classes were shared, projects were completed, activities, sports, retreats were experienced who have added life and color to the high school experience. Shared days of challenge, joy, pain and success the relationships that last not only throughout high school but a whole lifetime.

IT'S ALL ABOUT BALANCE. Brianna G riffith stays on the w ire as she joins her team in m aking it "A round the B ox." Ropes and team m ates' outstretched hands w ere all that held the participants above the ground. This event called for balance, personal courage and trust in team m ates' support.

Uniting the Sophomores he Sophomores experienced life-long lessons in unity and friendship during their October 24th and 25th re足 treat. High-energy activity at the Watercourse Ropes Course in Monroe was complemented by reflection, discussion and friendship code building at the Bellevue Crossroads Com足 munity Center. Separate groups of boys and girls had the opportunity to explore the meaning, value and challenges of friendship. The ropes course team activities stressed the trust and support that are necessary aspects of friendship. Com足 munication skills, accepting differences, learning reconcili足 ation and forgiveness were the topics of the discussion and reflection segment. Both days' activities improved the unity of the class. Sophomores learned about each other and what it means to work together as friends and as a team. That was the goal of Campus Minister John King, who was assisted by Mr. Matt Potter, Counselors Tammy Small and Annie Roth and twenty Junior and Senior retreat leaders.

S

ophomore year marks an important time in a person's life. This is the year the person turns 16 and is eligible for a driver's license. For many, this is a symbol of inde­ pendence.

Most of the sophomores were excited to have this privilege; that is until they heard about the introduction of new driving laws. The new laws that were passed by the 2000 Legislature for Washington State regulate whether or not a new driver should be allowed to drive at night or with a passenger in the car until the driver has had one year of driving experience. The Sophomores had mixed feelings about these new laws. Most understood the reasons for them; still, many were reluctant to have their driving restricted. Because the laws are scheduled to become effective July 2001, most of the Sophomores will have already received their license.

Important for the sophomores and all drivers was that good laws promoted safety with the new independence.

First Time Freshman Sports really important first time in a freshman's life at Eastside Catholic was his or her's first expe rience with sports. Overall, new freshmen have liked their encounters with high school sports are a lot better than middle school sports. The main reason was increased level of competition. They say that high school sports are a lot better than middle school sports.

The main reason was the increased level of competition.

High school sports are more about doing your best, instead of middle school where it was about having fun. That is not to say that high school sports are not fun. Freshman thought part of what made high school sports more exciting were the better coaches, longer workouts, and many more games. However not every­ thing was good. Freshmen noticed that the equipment at Eastside Catholic was not as good as the equipment they had in middle school. Of course, the reason was that the better equipment goes to the varsity teams. In general, high school sports were some of the best first times Freshmen encountered at Eastside Catholic.

hat makes great leaders? The model chosen by the ECHS administration was servant leadership—serving the members of the school community. Unselfishness and Christ-like values dominate these leaders' choices of core values and priorities. Servant leaders worked for the growth of the entire school community—in rigorous, col­ lege prep academics, in vibrant living of our Catho­ lic identity, in greater partnership with EC alumni and the local community, in working fora perma­ nent site, in recruiting and retaining strong stu­ dents and excellent teachers, and in support of a diverse population and students with special needs.

Servant Leadership PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS. Eastside Catholic High School President Leo M arshall speaks at the February A cadem ic A w ards A ssem bly. M r. M arshall spearheaded EC H S's strategic plan. This plan form ulated six policy priorities—including that of rigorous academ ic excellence.

eaching. W hat ex­ actly is it? A job, an occupation, a busi­ ness? Actually, teach­ ing is a way of life.

Everyone has certain characteristics which make them who they are. W ith some peo­ ple, those characteris­ tics m ake a teacher.

Patience, understand­ in g , d eterm in a tio n , and the will to give of one's self and one's time are just some of the many qualities that it takes to make a good teacher.

What separates the job of teaching from true teach ers is the willingness to give—to take time for others.

W hen a student needs extra help or wants to retake a test, ECHS tea ch ers g iv e th e ir time to serve. What other occupation in­ v ite s g iv in g up of lu n ches, sch edu lin g p ro jects after w ork and coming in before w ork to help other people? ECHS teach­ ers do this not because they see it as a job or work, but because it is the essence of their lives.

ECHS teachers give their time and them­ selves to improve the lives of others. When people have potential it is believed that they can change the world and b e n e fit oth ers.

Can people reach their full potential if they a re n 't tau gh t p ro p ­ erly? For ECHS teach­ ers, empowering each student to reach his or her greatest potential seems to be the best reward. ECHS teach­ ers take the time for Others. — Shane Eubank

EXCELLENCE he ECHS faculty was committed to co n sta n t im p ro v e ­ ment—not only in the lives of the students but equally in the pro­ fessional world of the teachers.

Emmet Hogan led the Academic Council.

New this year, the Academ ic C o u n cil w as composed of the heads of each academic de­ p a rtm en t, P rin cip al Glen Lutz, Academic V ice P rin cip a l Jo ck McLaughlin, Director of Admission Mary K. Krauss and school reg­ istrar Cheryl DeRouen.

The purpose of this body was to plan for the academ ic future and to address aca­ demic problems, con­ cerns and successes of the current year. Is­ su es the A cad em ic Council addressed in­ cluded extending the lunch period to 40 min­ utes, the criteria and selection of Students of the M onth and Stu­ dents of the Year, se­ lections for sum m er reading, and maintain­ in g h ig h acad em ic standards. Looking to the future, this Coun­ cil planned the 'OO-'Ol school calendar, the accre d ita tio n p rocess, and expanding the cur­ riculum with the seven classes schedule.

The value rep eat­ edly stressed by EC's Academic Council was excellence—in teaching and learning.

HOW BEST? Dr. Finlay M cQ uade chal­ lenges faculty m em bers to articulate ac­ curately the goals of academ ic program s.

A nationally noted curriculum leader, Dr. M cQuade inspired and encouraged ECH S teachers in im proving the rigor and evaluation of EC students' learning.

eyond preparing lessons, teaching and evaluating students' work, this year ECHS teachers formulated the standards and benchmarks to measure those standards for an ECHS education. This process involved serious work with Dr. Finlay McQuade, a noted educational leader in curriculum develop­ ment and evaluation. By the end of the year, each department had stated rigorous standards and clear ways to determine whether students had met those standards.

The "standards m ovem ent" is part of all schools in the nation. There are national and state standards established for curricular areas. What ECHS teachers did in the half-day in-services this year was to study these national and state standards and to create the statements of those standards that incorporate the goals of an ECHS education. The stated ECHS standards met and usually exceeded national standards.

With these standards, each academic department developed individual and appropriate assessment methods which were to be engaging, interesting and challenging. Once the department standards and benchmarks had been established, each course in the departments was similarly evaluated.

This process assures ECHS students of a rigorous education that is wellplanned, that has expectations of high achievement, that will prepare ECHS grads to be successful at any competitive university and that truly empowers all students to grow to the fullest measure of their potential.

BECOM ING AN ECHS STUDENT

W

hat first attracted you to ECHS? The response to this tells the story of each student's involvement in the ECHS community.

What lures students and families to follow through, enroll and stay at ECHS? Admissions Director Mary K. Krauss believed that the response to this was threefold.

ECHS is a good place to be: the students and adults are nice to, respectful of and supportive of one another. The education received is outstanding; next year's seven classes with a rotating schedule is a plus. The image of the school is positive.

Consequently, as head of the admissions to ECHS, Mrs. Krauss worked to select students for whom ECHS is the best high school. The application process for new students was challenging. Beginning with a standard application form, applicants then wrote an essay and took a standardized entrance test. Grades and teacher recommen­ dations from the past two years were submitted. As part of the day spent on campus with a Student-to-Student host, the applicant was interviewed by Mrs. Krauss. All of this information was then evaluated by Mrs. Krauss and a team of faculty members to determine if the applicant would be among the 65 to 85% who are accepted. Mrs. Krauss worked to balance the Class of 2004 at 140 students with an equal boy to girl ratio.

With the arrival of the Class of '04, the process would begin again for Director of Admission Mary K. Krauss and her assistant Marlinda Siegfried.

ECHS FOUNDATION BOARD he Eastside Catholic High School Foundation Board serves to support the school's financial base. The Board collects and supervises the investment of funds donated to ECHS. The sources of these funds include memorial dona­ tions, the Roberta Farmer Endowed Scholarship, cash contri­ butions and investments earnings. The two current goals for the Foundation Board are a permanent location and support for students in meeting tuition costs.

Since the beginning of ECHS, the dream has been to have a place of "our own" for ECHS. The Board continues to work on the financial basis for this. A second on-going need is to make ECHS financially possible to all students. The Board focuses on the establishment of funding projects which will allow ECHS students to better meet the tuition costs.

Individually and as a body, the Foundation Board pro­ vides a strong foundation and hope for the future for ECHS.

t an early Wednesday morning faculty meeting on November 24, 1999, John and Donna Luger announced their tremendous gift to Eastside Catholic High School.

John Luger said "in the spirit of Thanksgiving to a school that has meant so much in our children's lives" that he and his wife were donating $1 million to ECHS. The school was overjoyed to receive the incredible g if t. This was the largest single gift in the history of the school. The money will go into an endowment which will then support scholarships, financial aid and tuition assistance, technology, maintenance and facilities enhance­ ments, and professional development. Another hope for the money is that it will help establish the school ata permanent location, rather than continuing to lease the current building from Bellevue School District.

The Luger children Lisa Frey '87, Tanya Paszkeicz '89, and John Jr. '91, and Justin '97 have all graduated from Eastside Catholic. The Lugers wanted to give back to the school for providing their children with the fundamentals they will need for success.

Students, parents, faculty, staff, and adm inistration-past and present—joined in thanking the Luger's for this most wonderful 20th Anniversary present.

Keeping Things Working here are certain mysteries that puzzle EC students.

Why is it so clean? Why when a student makes a mess is it not there the next day? There are logical explanations: the maintenance personnel. Actually, two maintenance teams keep the school functioning. John DeMeyere is the Director of Facilities, in charge everything that relates to the physical plant. Mr. Tyler Runnells is the Technology Director, in charge of everything that is related to the computer networks. Without the services of these two leaders and their teams, ECHS would not be able to operate. Everyone at ECHS works together in a circle of life, so don't forget the maintenance personnel the next time your mess...is a mess no more.

A member of the school's leader­ ship team, she also worked on the strategic plan forecasting ECHS's financial future over the next 5 to 10 years.

Mike Bussing was the accountant for the school. His job was to manage the accounting, payroll and employee benefits section of the Finance Office.

As Accounts Payable officer, Tari Haffner coordinated the bill paying for the many school accounts. Kelli Kaufman managed the Book­ store and helped with the tuition payment coordination. In addition to these tasks, Ms. Haffner and Ms.Kaufman ordered all the of­ fice, teachers' and athletic supplies the school needed. Sometimes the many UPS boxes received in the Financial Office made it seem like Christmas all year!

rs. Barbara Schille worked in the Attendance Office. When asked about her wo she said that she loved the polite students and, other than writers' cramp in 1 hand the first week of school, she could only think of great aspects of her job. "1 student at Eastside Catholic are some of the best kids anywhere," she reported, course, since her son was a f r e s h m a n , she seemed to like the freshmen best!.

Mrs. Schille was involved in enforcing the new attendance policy. When a student v tardy, the student reported to the Attendance Office for an Admit Slip. It helped her to know the students at the beginning of the school year. "During the first week of schc there were 435 tardies a day." Once students understood the system and the cori quences for being tardy, the number changed dramatically. According to Mrs. Schi "One week after the new system was put into place, there were 65 tardies a day. By end of the first semester, there were an average of only 34 tardies each day."

If students did not come for tardy slips, Mrs. Schille still kept in touch with notes students' absences, requests to report to various offices, or giving out first aid ; various medicines. Mrs. Schille may have had only one child at ECHS, but in many w she was a mother to us all.

Parents and neighbors generously .stepped forward to help out on the many projects that needed doing around the school house. Some rlunteers helped with big projects. TEECH coordinator Mrs. Treece found parents willing to coordiite raffle ticket sales. Booster parents volunteered to assist with the auction. Other volunteers came gularly. One day each week mothers assisted in the Front Office. ECHS mothers Monica McGinley, •igitta Backman, Adrienne Smith, Judy Smith, Jennifer Durkan, and Pat Andrade came regularly with ibstitutes Colleen Thompson, Cathy Heimstra, Gail Van Coevoden, Robin Borucki, Colleen Terry, Pat ana and Sue Brandeberry. The Copy Center was run by consistent volunteers.

It was parent-volunteers who, with AD Mark Brandmire and the coaches, celebrated the sports asons with Awards Banquets. When the ASB needed assistance with projects (barbecuing at the Carval) or chaperoning, again, it was generous volunteers who made it happen. ECHS students learned e value of unselfishly giving service to others by the example of the generous adults who served ECHS! V olunteers 65

Keeping God in the Conversation

O

ne key aspect of claiming the Catholic identity of ECHS was the importance of prayer. E e W ednesday morning two different prayer groups met to interceded for ECHS and its peop Mrs. Sue Taylor organized the Faculty Prayer, as it was called. Members of the EC st; administration and faculty met at 7:15 in the Library for a period of prayer. Each week somec different would lead the prayer. Sometimes prayer involved the reading of a poem or short stc Other prayers centered on the Scriptures. One of the favorite prayer experiences was that led Madame Tina Irish and Ma. Concepcion Lindgren when they shared Epiphany and Mardi G prayer customs with the group. Each W ednesday's session ending with prayer intentions. Th involved both the expressions of gratitude for God's gifts to the school community and individt and the voicing of needs for God's presence, special graces and healing.

For years, a special group of mothers, grandmothers and caring women have met in the EC chapel each Wednesday at 10 AM to pray for the school community. Mrs. Kathy Taylor from Mei Island was the key person in organizing this prayer group. While each week had a varied turn ( the "regulars" included Elaine Shepherd (Reilly's mother), Pauline Colter (Becky's grandmoth Mercedes Swanson, Kathy Taylor and EC librarian Barbara Krebs.

CLEAN-UP TIME! A t the end of a productive ceram ics session, junior A llen M oore cleans up the potter's w heel he use. Students found by ex足 perience that the art of ceram ics in足 volved both preparation of m aterials and clean up of room and m aterials.

COIL POTS: A coil pot is easily constructed and is usually the first pot made by a ceramics student. To make one, first roll out the clay into inch-thick cylinders. Then wrap these cylinders up around the base until you have the desired shape, making sure to smooth the coils thoroughly both inside and out. This pot is finished after you have made sure the inside and outside are proportional and smooth.

VICTORIAN HOUSE POTS: The Victorian house pot is a slab pot decorated to look like a house. Start this by using a rolling pin to roll out inch thick clay slabs. When the slabs are ready, decorate the front slab to resemble a Victorian house.

Place the clay on this stand and proceed to form the wavy edges of the pot. After the pot is smoothed, cover it and set it out for a night. The next day, carefully pull the pot off of the molds and smooth out the inside.

Timeless Treasures he Art Department at Eastside Catholic is one of the most loved at the school. These classes helped students to express their creativity in ways that they are not able to in other classes. In the Art Explorations class students are mght basic skills and are exposed to many different forms of art. Then, the students take these skills and apply them } different visual art classes that are offered—ceramics, drawing, and painting.

Mrs. Mary Nau was the head of the Art Department. Her classes included Art Foundations, Drawing, Graphic Arts, nd Painting. Her forte was combining art and technology. In describing herself, Mrs. Nau combined her love for rudents and for visual art saying "I enjoy teaching students different artistic skills that they will use throughout life."

While Mrs. Glenda Stallcup's background included many different art forms, it was the CERAMICS TEACHER role lat truly endeared her to ECHS students. This was mutual as Mrs. Stallcup's passion was her love for the students. "I >ve the students,"she commented. "They are what it is all about."

Personal reflection and expression of personal value: and standards w as an im portant part of each Block w riting and discussion

Phyllis Chan and Courtney Vanguilder Block is a class offered only to the seniors. As an acceler­ ated, pre-college theology and social sciences class, it is very popular, but the spaces available for students is lim­ ited each year. Many juniors apply each February so they can take part in the class their senior year. After teacher recommendations, personal goal statement and an inter­ view are completed, a student could be accepted into the Block. The experience is different for everyone, but there are rarely any complaints or regrets for taking the course.

Block is taken for two periods a day for both semesters.

The course covers the senior social studies Government and Economics and theology Human Relations and Peace and Justice classes. The returning teachers are Mr. Gary Stein, Mr. Tom Kittridge, and Mr. Emmet Hogan. They keep the students interested and seem to have a great time also.

The common theme the students return to all year is the question, "What does it mean to be a responsible person in our world?" The students applied and explored this ques­ tion to the areas of theology, economics, politics, and ethics.

To understand and learn everything, the students com­ pleted many papers and participated in weekly seminars.

During the seminars everyone got to speak up and share what they have to say and what their informed opinions are on a particular subject or reading. Unlike debates, seminars are kept positive and are a learning experience for every­ one. Along with the assignments and lectures came a lot of fun. The students positively enjoied attending the class and participating in the field trips to Discovery Park and the library at Seattle University.

The Block class is a great opportunity to learn and expand one's mind on many subjects that are present in everyday life today. It is a major commitment, but every­ one agrees it is worth the work, a lot of fun and understand­ ing of each other, and most definitely prepares the student for college.

usiness classes focused on the use of the com­ puter. Keyboarding or the MS Office A pplications was required for graduation.

A pioneer class "generation www.y"was an elective.

Both introductory classes were excellent for beginning or improving computer skills.

Students explored m ultiple uses of MS Word, Excel, Ac­ cess and PowerPoint. Students will never forget the grueling final resume or designing web pages and powerpoint presen­ tations.

In the new and unique class, generation www.y, Mrs. Nau taught students how to teach teachers to use computer ap­ plications. In this 0 Period class, students worked with teachers to increase class learn­ ing with technological appli­ cations. Students developed class web pages (where teach­ ers could post a class calendar and assig n m en ts), created PowerPoint presentations, and set up data bases.

Across the curriculum, stu­ dents were encouraged to use and expand their computer abilities. In the future, success in the business world will de­ pend on technology skills.

Then students will fondly re­ member it all began with—AS-D-F in Mrs. Patrick's room.

Keyboarding is a good class. It may not be the most fun class, but it will benefit us in the future. It's a hard class for me, but most kids find it easy. The main things that are needed for this class are patience and practice, because it takes a long time to remember where the keys are. Every time I get frustrated and I feel like throwing the computer out of the window, I just think about how glad I will be when I'm in college and I'm assigned a huge term paper. Know­ ing how to type will make it much easier. Besides cutting time on typing papers and assignments, typing is also very useful at work. Most businesses these days are hooked up to the Internet and that requires typing skills. I recom­ mend keyboarding to incoming Frosh because it will help both in school ap­ plications and in future employment.

End of an Epic, Start of a Saga W HAT DOES THIS M EAN?

he entire ECHS English department agreed on one thing: the best way to teach a student is to do what is in their best interest. This plan equaled success. From literature, to speech, to writing, to films, the English curriculum provided a vehicle for teachers to expand students' awareness of them­ selves, their potential, their world, and their spirituality.

Freshmen read The Odyssey, Great Expectations, The Diary of Anne Trank and Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. With such books as these, the Freshmen experienced everything from the fear and hatred of World W ar II, to the mysterious world of Greek mythology. Literature-related parties, contests, and writ­ ing discussion groups were ways that Ms. Humburg lived her belief that "to teach students right, you have to listen to their input on the subject."

Sophomores read To Kill a Mockingbird, Lord of the Flies and their teacher's choice of a Shakespeare play. Accelerated En­ glish 10 teacher, Mrs. Harbaugh thought it was important "to cover a book thoroughly and to show enthusiasm for that piece of literature." W ith the guidance of a good teacher, it was truly amazing what could be found between the lines of a book.

Beyond the written word, Mr. Burton's and Ms. Dotsey's En­ glish 10 classes analyzed the Italian film Life is Beautiful and compared it to Dead Poets Society. Jennifer Salazar noted that this study gave her a different way of looking at life. She appreciated the challenge "carpe deim—seize this opportunity to live to the fullest, true to your self." American poets Robert Frost and e.e.cummings allowed students to read and to see the flow of letters, words, lines and ideas of a poem. Mr. Burton's special forte was speech and debate. In addition to exploration of literature, Mr. Burton had his sophomores make persuasive and informative speeches.

Focusing on American writers, the juniors read The Crucible, The Great Gatsby and Catcher in The Rye. Mr. Stein believed that, "Through a series of small groups sharing input on the material covered, I can get everyone involved." Junior Keith Cook noted that "Mrs. Harbaugh uses interaction and discussion to find out what we think and the values we see in the readings."

Seniors read great works of literature—Othello, Beowolf, and Frankenstein. Senior Craig Smiley noted that British Literature teacher Dr. Culbert is "totally into it. His classroom is like a stage. Doc's perform ance—the difference voices, inflection, and impersonations helped students dissect and analyze the litera­ ture." Dr. Culbert taught seniors how to study at the collegiate level.

According to Craig, "D oc's greatest gift is that he taught me to like to read."

Teaching English 9, Vice-Principal Jock McLaughlin joined these vibrant, caring, professional teachers. Together they sought excellence, confidence, and personal development for their students. As students end their high school epics, the sagas of their lives Start.

History—the study of the past in order better under­ stand the present and better shape the future—was the domain of sophomores, juniors and seniors. ECHS history department was led by Mr. Emmet Hogan, who taught the social sciences segment of the Block class. Mr. Jim Farrell taught seniors Economics and American Government.

Juniors took US History from either Mr. Hogan, Mr. McLaughlin, Mr. Farrell or Mr. Potter. Sophomores stud­ ies World History with Mr. Matt Potter or Mr. John King.

In all history classes, students appreciated the new times, as the year 2000 AD offered the opportunity to shape history for the next generation.

Time for LEADING A LEGACY "’he 1999-2000 Leadership class had a successful year of "Leading a Legacy." This theme chosen at the August idership retreat described both the goals and the events the 1999-2000 school year.

Every morning (except Wednesday), over 70 students wled out of bed before dawn to make it to Leadership 7:05. There they planned dances, assemblies, Homening, guest speakers, community service projects and year-end carnival. Mondays and Fridays, class officers 1 Steering Committee members met with class advisors >lan events that were specifically related to freshmen or ihomores or juniors or seniors. Tuesdays and Thurs?s the Leadershiip class met as a whole. Each period ;an with journal writing about a leadership skill or ject. Various days the ASB officers led the class discusis. Creativity and practicality were often two competvalues, but positive leadership prevailed.

Achievements of the Leadership class were numerous.

Leadership events began with September's superior Wel­ come and Fall Sports Assembly. Homecoming Week and Dance with universal student involvement was October's success. November Leadership class co-sponsored ECHS participation in the KISS 106.1 Canned Food Drive. With over 5,000 cans , ECHS easily took second place behind Inglemoor. With its Chrismas theme, December's assemby introduced winter sports. February featured Love Week with activities and an assembly. M arch's assembly intro­ duced spring sports teams. December and May Leader­ ship organized blood drives with outstanding results.The climax was the end of the year school carnival.

Spirit, determination, energy, service, and dedication characterized this outstanding group of young leaders who truly succeeded in "Leading a Legacy" for ECHS. Leadership Class 79

M ath A nalysis and Calculus teacher, Mr. Ev G ilbert •eviews another set of class problem papers. Each evening, m ath teachers isually had over 100 student papers of assigned problem s to review and grade, vlr. G ilbert taught the upper division m ath classes w here students w ere :hallenged to incorporate their know ledge of various theorem s, skills, and ipproaches in solving those problem s w here m ath theory m eets the concerns )f the high tech world of engineering and physics. Mr. G ilbert's students eported having few but very difficult problem s for assignm ents and tests.

ath is one of the most important subjects for ECHS students. It is one of the major factors a college considers when selecting students to admit. Almost every job requires some math to be used; it is essential to working through problems in life. It is for these reasons that ECHS math teachers were so dedicated to educating their students in all the methods, formulas, theorems, logic and principles of math. Students of all skills and backgrounds each found a math class in which they could excel. From Algebra 1 to Calculus, teachers of all math levels showed the same great, personal care and helpfulness as they guided their students to success.

The department was headed by 20-year ECHS veteran teacher, Mrs. Diane Sternoff. All Mrs. Sternoff's students encountered TRIG either in Math 12/Trig or Accelerated Algebra 3-4/Trig. Mr. Gene Yerabek taught Geometry.

Ms. Norton was joined by new-to-ECHS teachers; Mr. Michael and Mr. Bryan, to teach the various levels of A lgebra~l, 1/2, 2, and 3/4.

One of Eastside Catholic's stalwart, helpful and chal­ lenging math teachers, Mr. Ev Gilbert, retired this year after an outstanding 39 year career (8 at ECHS) of dedi­ cated teaching and leadership in ECHS's math program.

With the combination of caring, thoughtful, challengeable students and great teachers, the math program at ECHS is sure to thrive for years to come.

he Crusader Band sported 20 members this season. The band put in 50 public performances including musical theatre shows, Open Houses, ballgames, school assemblies and events, and community service/goodwill gigs. Playing an average of ten performances each grading period all the way to Graduation Day, the band mastered nearly 100 different tunes this year ranging from Bach to rock.

The orchestra, led by new director Mr. Marc Collier, performed at liturgies and school eventsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Open Houses, Christmas Play, 20th Birthday Ice Cream Social, and The Music Man spring musical. Baroque, Classical, and popular styles were all in their repertoire.

Holding classes after school, Director Alison Hopkins resurrected the choir. Choir performed at liturgies, the Christmas play, and the spring concert. The group sang liturgical music, pop, madrigals, doo-wop and other concert music.

Although students' musical skills were always expanding and their minds were becoming sensitive to the art and power of sound, the most important thing students learned from ensemble was teamwork. Without it, they only made a lot of racket.

rama is the mirror of life. It poses the conflicts of human existence. That's why the art reflects human joys, miseries, triumphs and wonderment. In the study of the theatre and poetics, students struggled to memorize lines, project, use clear diction and perform movement exercises. Even in the face of a questionable and often absurd world, humans look for truth.

Students learned about teamwork and gained a feeling of ac­ complishment when the performance was over.

Drama students discovered different ways of looking at things through the process of character study. Students explore the art of story telling through play reading and film study.

Through soliloquy and improvisation, confidence and quickthinking skills were attained. Knowledge of the art was ac­ quired by learning about costume, set design, stage vocabulary, and production.

Sometimes the drama students would just have fun and act like children.

his year four different physical education classes were offered. One, Aerobics, was new to the P.E. curriculum. The three other P.E. classes were P.E. 9 (required for freshmen), P.E. Electives and, the most popular, Strength and Agility. These classes are designed to provide exercise for the students at ECHS on a day-to-day basis and to instill lifelong habits of regular physical activity.

Department Head Mr. Acosta looked forward to seeing improvement in all students taking his classes. He also looked forward to nice days—when the classes could go outside! While Mr. Acosta appreciated his freshmen classes, his preference was the P.E. Electives group because they had mastered the basic skills and were extremely enthusi­ astic about P.E. Strength and Agility teacher Mr. Marsh looked forward to seeing the students improve their strength and skill level through hard work and determination—and also by lifting a lot of weights!

Overall, P.E. made ECHS students well rounded, giving them not only education but exercise—and fun as well.

hen students returned to school at the start of the 1999-2000 school year, they discovered that the 500 Building had been totally remodeled.

Summer reconstruction in the science rooms began with gutting the building—interior walls were moved, lighting fixtures and ceilings removed, and plumbing replaced.

The new design had larger classrooms with moveable tables that could serve for lecture format or lab activities.

More efficient and environmentally correct storage and lab prep areas were created. Lights and electrical wiring were made compatible with use of high tech equipment and computers. Plumbing was brought up to new codes.

Greater safety features—eye wash stations, chemistry hoods, and improved ventilation—were installed. Each of the six new learning stations had a computer, sink, Bunsen burner, table and counter space and chairs for four stu­ dents.

Eastside Catholic students had been given a wonderful facility in which to explore and study the wonders of the world of life and science. he project, which cost over $250,000, was the gift of the 1999 ECHS Auction~Fund-an-Item. Buffalo D esign created the plan, with input from EC science teachers. JMS Construction did the work. EC Facilities M anager John DeM eyere considered this "the best thought out remodel ECHS has done." Students re­ turned to science classes with enthusiasm and aware­ ness that much achievement would be expected of them because m uch had been given them in this building.

heology classes at ECHS offered students an oppor­ tunity to enter more deeply into a relationship with their God. Beginning as freshmen, students were introduced to a particular theology—study of God—that is the Catholic Church's tradition. The Introduction to Catholicism class presented the basic beliefs, prayer and practices of Catho­ lics. Mrs. Parson taught five of the six sections of this course. For most students, the most memorable part of this class was the prayer—especially stress reduction meditation. The second semester Frosh class was Health Ethics, which combined the required health curriculum with the ethical and moral basis for decision making. Mr. Marsh and Mrs. Parson taught this second semester class.

For sophomores and juniors a semester of theology, either Church History or Judeo-Christian Scriptures, was required each year. Church historians questioned how appropriately the community of believers has followed Jesus through various historical times and cultural situa­ tions. Tracing the covenant of God with humans through Hebrew history and examining the new covenant through Jesus, the Scripture class invited the students to see the call of God to a personal relationship in their own lives.

Church History teachers were Mrs. Parson, Mr. King and Sr. Sara; Scripture classes were taught by Sr. Sara.

All seniors took two semesters of theology. Block stu­ dents focused on the peace and justice issues of an ethical and responsible person. Other seniors looked at relation­ ships, especially those of marriage, for one semester.

Social justice as it was experienced and challenged in the contemporary U.S. was the basis of their second semester Senior theology teacher Mr. Kittridge repeatedly chal­ lenged his students to accept the real cost of discipleship.

Ms. Norton used newspaper articles and a video documentary to bring an understanding of what this emotional experience meant to the German people.

earbook class was a time for hard work and determi­ nation. Every day brave individuals would come into class only to be surprised by a deadline that was just around the corner. In the Yearbook class, students learned the basics of creating a yearbook, the major "D o's" and "D on'ts" and the workings of the PageMaker computer program. Students in teams of two were assigned to create a double page spread—design, photos, copy, computer work, and first editing - t o be completed by the deadline.

This was checked by the editors and then sent to the printers (Jostens) who printed and bound the yearbook.

Just when students completed one assignment, another deadline came up with another DPS due. The process started over again. During these hectic times students also needed to be aware of all activities that needed yearbook coverage.

There were three advisors and four student editors.

Yearbook 101

At the Heart or ECHS students, the library is a place for reading, research­ ing, thinking, dreaming, writing, planning and working with friends.

The library was where one could just relax and go to different worlds by reading. The sanctuary of learn­ ing was also equipped with wellused computers to help students explore and seek information. If anyone was in need of a tutor, then the library was the place to be. At the core of the library was Mrs. Sharon Anderson. She has worked at ECHS for 11 years. Continuously, she has improved the quality of this resource center of learning by up­ dating the volumes, adding new and replacing old ones.

More than keeping students in­ formed with all of the up-to-date information, Mrs. Anderson was a warmhearted friend as well as a mentor to students and faculty alike.

She always had a warm smile and a helping hand to anyone in need.

A ssistin g righ t alon gsid e M rs.

Anderson was Mrs. Barbara Krebs.

Mrs. Krebs put in countless hours helping students researching mate­ rials, finding poster pens, making change, checking out items and in so many ways helping students.

The library is where students are always greeted with a smile. It is the heart and soul of ECHS.

Decision Making Time

Counseling

ounselors helped students with their problems: grades, college selection, social issues, drug and alcohol therap; and schedule changes. Mrs. Tammy Small welcomed two new members to the counseling staff this year: Ms. Krisl Coplin, who worked with students with the last names from A to L, and Ms. Annie Roth, who shared with Mrs. Sma the students with names in the latter part of the alphabet. Counselors were in their offices during and after school I help with any crisis that occurred. They also came into classes to discuss careers, PS AT and the PLAN test.

While the counselors were always available to assist students with personal concerns and academic problems, mo students were aware of the counselors in their role related to college. From the College Nights with students ar parents to arranging for presentations to students by representatives from potential college choices, the counselo assisted in the biggest academic choice of high school life: which college to attend.

This process began with the junior appointment. Students and their parents discuss test scores on college entran exams, decide which classes wouldbegood to take, and where thestudents would like togo with a careerand future plans. Ultimate comes the decision of which college or colleges would provide the best fit. The senior appointments provided assistance with f college application process. College essays and resumes were written, current high school transcripts were reviewed, teache: recommendations were requested, the application form was completed-all this was submitted to the counselor to finalize and mÂŁ Students anxiously waited for replies. Receiving a yes did not the end the process. Seniors needed guidance on Financial Aid a: ultimately which college to say "yes" to by May 1,2000.

The Counseling Department also organized support groups for students, coordinated the Required Study H Program, and gave a listening heart when most needed. Basically, EC counselors gave GOOD HELP FOR ALL!

BALL IS THE WORD.

This gam e w as part of the SA P training. Tw elve students, par­ ents, counselors, teachers and adm inistrators spent the January 18-19 w eekend in very active training to be leaders in the Student A ssistance Program at ECHS.

O

ne of the major projects of the Eastside Catholic Counseling Depart­ ment was the inauguration of the SAP: Student Assistance Program.

This proactive program aims "to increase learning and positive behavior for students."To achieve this broad mission, there were three specific goals for this year. These were to identify the strengths and weaknesses of ECHS students in dealing with important teen issues, to train and involve students in working with peers in supporting positive qualities and to involve the parent community in the social lives of ECHS students.

During an extended mentor period in March, students completed an extensive, confidential survey in which they reported their id eas, values and choices on drugs, alcohol and tobacco, on dating and sexual activity, on friendships and parents, and on their own self-concept and selfconfidence. The survey results will be used to promote the strengths of EC students and to build programs to diminish the weaknesses.

On the last Friday and Saturday of January, 12 students and 10 parents, teachers, counselors, and administrators participated in a training work­ shop to build peer support groups. Miriam Ruth Black of the Pacific Training network in Redmond facilitated the training.

As part of Prom preparations, a parents' group functioned to promote communication among parents about positive expectations for students at the Prom.

With the SAP, the ECHS Counseling Department worked to build strong, value-centered, healthy young adults.

I'M NOT REALLY SURE C hris O 'B rien '01 and Mrs. Roth talk about w hat colleges he should consider in his applications. Chris, like every other jun ior, w as anxious about his appointm ent. The idea of applying to colleges is som ething that could be overw helm ­ ing but M rs. Roth and the other counselors helped m ake it easy.

SMILE, ALL! Mrs. Janet Lankester w arm ly greets a student com ing for an appointm ent in the C ounseling Departm ent. She w as in charge of all the background w ork for the counselors. She took m essages, scheduled appointm ents and helped w ith em er­ gencies. M rs. L ankester's great sense of hum or alw ays m ade it fun to visit the EC C ounseling Offices. This departm ent had A cadem ic V ice Principal Jock M cLaughlin's office, a conference room , the three counselors' offices and the reception area w ith Mrs. Lankester.

RESULTS ARE IN. Spencer N orris '00 sm iles as Ms. Coplin tells him the results of one of his college entrance tests. Each senior review ed SA T or A CT test scores w ith the counselors. M ost used their senior appointm ent tim e to fill out applications for college.

This w as M s. C o p lin 's first year at Eastside Catholic High School.

he Resource Center fostered ECHS students growth and the development of good study habits. At lunch, NHS members aided students with math, sci­ ence, writing, or test review.

The rest of the day, Academic Resources classes were held. The purpose of AR was to support students in building strong study skills. Mrs. Burnham, Mr. Marsh and Mrs. Summerdorf taught stu­ dents effective ways to approach studies, to use peer support, and to do research. Each enjoyed watching students expand hori­ zons and reach their potential.

The Resource Center was a place where anyone can get help; all one had to do was ask!

Student Life 109

T IM E TO RELAX he last summer of the 1900's was full of exciting events. ECHS students spent the summer working, traveling, attending concerts and parties, serving the community, and sharing time with friends.

For fourteen ECHS students the highlight of the Summer of '99 was a trip to Spain.

Sponsored by the Spanish Department, the students were accompanied by Sra. Lindgren as they traveled to Barcelona, Granada, Malaga, Sevilla, Cordoba, Toledo and Madrid.

Special attractions were the Church of the Holy Family, the Alhambra, the museum of El Prado and the great people. For other students, travel was more local—to the Gorge for summer concerts.

Students also earned money during the summer. Nordstoms, Red Robin, Gap, and Starbucks, Baskin Robbins, local swim centers and golf clubs—all had ECHS students as employees. Students learned much about responsibility and teamwork in their work experiences. Others learned these qualities and caring through their community service work. Serving as camp counselors or working to improve the environment or caring for those in need—ECHS students grew in many ways in the Summer of '99.

The eventful summer was a springboard to an exciting school year. Even though it rains during the school year, the memory of summer sun was always there.

Saturday's HOMECOMING was an all day success.

The Crusaders' vs. W est Seattle football game was a 35-6 victory cheered on by a crowd of ECHS alums, parents, students and staff. Homecoming night! The dance was wonderful. ECHS parents' decorations brought New Orleans' Bourbon Street to the ECHS gym. Students and alums were attractive and spirited!

A great celebration was created by high involvement of the entire ECHS community.

tam the first day of school, through each month, holiday, and sports season, for entertain­ ment to education, students experienced perfectly timed assemblies.

An agenda was written for every assembly to en­ sure that leaders knew where to go and what props were to be used. It was writ­ ten down to the minute. If something went long then another part was cut short.

Assemblies were the re­ sponsibility of Student Ac­ tivities; so, with advisors Ms. Johnson and Ms. Casbere, ASB Leadership and Steering Committees created the assemblies. Each assembly took up to three weeks to plan and several out-of-school hours to prac­ tice. This year's assemblies were outstanding. The ASB Leadership Team had pre­ sentations from outside school: a flight nurse, "The Main Attraction," Council­ man Ron Sims. Still, most assemblies featured the tal­ ents, creativity and involve­ ment of students: leading prayer, singing the National Anthem, playing drums, skits, MC's.

For ASB President Kelly Shaw, assemblies gave stu­ dents a break in the day and extended education beyond the classroom. Assemblies were put on by students for students. "It gives me a sense of accomplishment when I get compliments. I feel like I have made a dif­ ference in the school."

From the first school day to the last minute of the last spring assembly, ASB cre­ ated entertaining, informa­ tive, and inclusive assem­ blies with perfect timing.

fo rm a l, sem i-form al, casual or theme dress—singles, couples or groups—whatever the attire or group EC stu■nt created and celebrated at dances. The dance that kicked f the 99-00 school year was sponsored by the Junior Class.The ptember 11, 1999 event, with its '8 0 's motif, provided a :Tcome to the year and an opportunity to meet new undertssmen and new students while having a good time.

On October 23,1999, EC held the last dance of the Second illenium: Homecoming. The entire ASB, headed by the adership Class, put on the Mardi Gras Homecoming Dance.

The good times never stopped. December 4, 1999, the nior Class sponsored the Twinter dance. Friends and uples came dressed as twins and were ready to "get down."

Tolo, February 12, 2000, was the Freshm en's first formal high school dance. "M oonlight by the Sea" (Tolo) was held in the Alki Room at the Seattle Center. Again this year, Tolo was put on by ECHS' awesome drill team!

On March 10,2000, the Sophomore class had their first chance to put on a dance. The planning, preparations and dance itself were well done—it was, in the words of one sophom ore, "a phat dance"w ith the theme of "A Night at 54."

The highly anticipated formal dance for juniors and seniors was held April 29 in the Arctic Room in Seattle. Produced by the Junior class, the most "prominant" dance of the year, "Castle in the Clouds" promised to be the highlight of the 1999-2000 year.

THE CHRISTMAS PLAY G o s p e l w as created two years ago when Mr. C urtis needed a show that would include all of his drama, band, orchestra, and choir students. Based on the Gospel of Luke, this musical tells the story of the time lead­ ing up to Jesus' birth and takes the audience to the manger scene in the finale.This year he added a couple new tunes in­ cluding the title cut which was performed by a tuxedo-clad David Rand to open the show.

The all-new cast and orches­ tra gave a spectacular perfor­ mance with excellent acting backed by strong and soulful m usic. New directors M arc Collier (Orchestra) and Alison Hopkins (Choir), along with stu d e n t d ire cto r M ich a e la Beau clair helped m ake the show a success. Each member of the cast and orchestra turned in a b rillia n t perform ance.

Many actors played several roles and the numerous cos­ tume changes provided inter­ esting challeng es. C ultu ral consultation and terrific cos­ tumes and props were pro­ vided by Mrs. Diane Sternoff.

A great big thank you was well-deserved by all the fac­ ulty, staff, and students who made the show entertaining as well as educational.

magine waking up in a different house, in a differe: family, in a different country, several thousand miL away. Unless you have experienced this, it is very diffici to comprehend. The International Students are some the most courageous people at Eastside Catholic. They £ through every day, speaking a confusing foreign la: guage, taking classes that confound many of us in our fir language, and dealing with social customs that are ne and different.

A more formal ESL program was discontinued la year, so these students face the challenge of English ar English classes all day. However, they do not do tf alone. They have their fellow International Students rely on, as well as some of the coolest electronic transl tors. These things not only translate, but some actual pronounce the words. Add some cute anime style chara ters to all this, and you have quite a piece of electror wonder. These translators help when there is no longei specific teacher and specific program.

With translators in hand, supportive peers in the classes, and an outstanding desire for education, the Inte national Students succeeded. International Students tru added to the community of ECHS. -L u c a s g|

Celebrating God Liturgies at Eastside Catholic

O

n the seventh of September, during the Mass of the Holy Spirit, seniors Jon Ferrari, Krystal Fauxbel, Spencer Gheen, Ryan Rahlfs, Laura Henigson, Tess Nutter, Patrick D'Ambrosio, Shannon Haines, Ellen Klobucher, and Kevin Kelly were commissioned as Eucharistic Ministers for the 1999-2000 Eastside Catholic school year. These special ministers in our school community served by distributing the Eucharist at the Mass of the Holy Spirit, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8th, the Ash W ednesday Liturgy on March 8th, and the Grandparent Liturgy on May 12th. In addition to serving Communion to students at all the Masses, the Eucharistic Ministers were also present at all the prayer services, which included the Thanksgiv­ ing and Christmas services. Father Herric was the celebrant at the Mass of the Holy Spirit as well as at the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, while Father Foster presided at the Grandparent Liturgy. These religious services helped the faith community at Eastside Catholic better understand their personal relationship with God. -E llio tt G ray WHO WANTS TO BE ...?

etreats at ECHS were times set aside to consider the spiritual aspects of life. Freshmen went on two re­ treats. In August, there was the Orientation Retreat on campus. In April, there was the day-long retreat at St. Madeleine Sophie. Mr. Marsh coordinated both retreats with a Retreat Team composed of upperclassmen.

Sophomores had a two day retreat in October. One day involved activities at the Water Center Ropes Course in Monroe. The other day considered Friendship and an Honor Code. Mr. Matt Potter, Mr. John King, Mrs. Tammy Small and Mrs. Annie Roth worked with the Sophomore Retreat Feadership Team (juniors and seniors) The hallmark ECHS retreat is Destiny. Held in Novem­ ber and in Marsh this year, this weekend experience for juniors and seniors open doors of self-awareness and rootedness in the love of God and others. The Destiny Leadership Teams were composed of students who had already been on this retreat. Mr. King, Mr. Tom Kittridge, and Mrs. Wendy Burnham worked with the leaders.

The September Pilgrimage was for Seniors. This 14mile hike with prayer, activities, talks, and sharing, led by Mr. King, Mr. Gary Stein, and Mr. Glen Lutz. -E llio tt G ray A SIGN! M ysterious w riting appears

HELP WHEN MOST NEEDED R

ecognizing that there are various learning styles, learning differences and learning needs, ECH has welcomed Educational Tutoring and Consulting (ETC) tutors to provide assistance 1 strengthen students' learning. At any time the library had two to four ETC tutors working wit students in the glassed-off partitions. Some students worked with tutors on a weekly basis; othe: met with their tutors once or twice a week; other students had a scheduled class period each day fc personalized education work. Tutors were available at 7 in the morning, during lunch and aft* school to work with students. Tutor Susan Small has had years of experience working with EC I students. She appreciated that EC students cared so much about their own learning. She also value the positive communication between teachers and tutors. Both of these were aspects that helpe students really succeed.

This year retired ECHS math teacher Ed Anderson joined thee ETC tutoring staff at ECHS. Th was a true asset to the program because it enabled ETC to provide credit math classes take individually with a tutor. For some students this provided the chance to move ahead more quick in their math studies. For other students, it allowed them to repeat a class for mastery without gettir behind in their math program.

The ETC tutors improved education for many ECHS students.

HEy, SO TEAM! br the 1999-2000 Cheerleaders, the year began after an anxious two week tryout process in April 1999. The almost 30 candi­ dates had completed applications, requested teachers' recommendations, were interviewed by a committee of teachers including Cheer Advisor Ms. Casbere. The rigorous process involved learning a dance routine, the fight song, three cheers and creating a cheer. Then, after 6 PM on Friday, candidates called Ms. Casbere's voice mail to hear the names of the 99-00 Cheer Squad: Michaela Beauclair '01, Jenn Bennett '02, Stacy Butler '01, Quinn Caldaron '01, Captain Melanie Eubank '00, Captain Krystal Fauxbel '00, Lauren Flubner '00, Morgan McCracken '02, Jessica McHugh '00, Kimm Moore '02, Velvet Rumens '00, Jeff Thiry '01, Jordon Trice '01, Keri Verkest '00.

Immediately, the squad began its work: a sum mer camp, getting uniform s, finding sponsors, preparing cheers and stunts. Dur­ ing a very busy year, the Cheer Squad cheered on student athletes at each sport and at Spe­ cial Olympics. They conducted a mini-cheer clinic for younger children. They served as students leaders. They performed at the Open Houses, pep assemblies, and special events.

Still, they were scholars maintaining at least a 2.5 GPA. Clearly, the cheerleaders represented ECHS in a positive way. Thanks, Cheer, for such an incredible year!

hday Night Football. Does it get any better than that? The Crusader footbal team enjoyed another successful season. Their season really began back ir the summer when the team embarked on a new tradition by spending thret days at Buck Creek Camp near Crystal Mountain. "It was the experience of < lifetime for some of these men and something we really needed," stated first yea head coach Bill Marsh. Then, it was on to the season.

Crusaders rode a six-game winning streak on the way to winning the Metre League Division II title. Lead by the state's top passer, Senior Conor Black, thi year's squad broke numerous offensive records as Black became the most prolifi passer in school history. All fourteen (14) seniors were named as co-captains. Lee by these seniors, the team took on other challenges both on and off the field. On was community service projects every Tuesday to places such as Children' Hospital, homeless shelters and an elementary school to read books to childrer The 1999 Crusader football team had to overcome many obstacles this seasoi yet were always willing to meet those obstacles head on. In a showdown for th Metro Championship, our Crusaders built a 14 - 7 half-time lead over the Irish c O'Dea only to lose a heart-breaker in what was the Game of the Year in the Metr league and one of the best championship games ever! The team then went on t the the State Playoffs for the third straight year.

Good luck to all the young men who contributed to this season's successes.

The most exciting game of the sea­ son was the 22-6 victory over Highline. In addition to the great plays, there was high drama as injured player Stephan Gray was rushed to the hospital with an in­ jured hand. Although injured, Stephan shared the joy of this victory.

he '98-99 season for the Girls' Golf Team was tragic. In '99-'00 the girls bounded back and were better than ever. Senior Jamie Lankester and sophomore Kelsey Boys joined the veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;senior Alison Mitchell, juniors Jen Kelly and Meg Stan and sophomores Christina Arias, Carly Bird-Vogel, Jess Granger, and Mackenzie Miller.

This created the largest Girls' Golf Team in ECHS history. They had a great season, winning almost every match. Alison Mitchell described the victory over Seattle Prep as "Very exciting! It's the first time in a long time that it has happened!" All nine girls played in the Metro Tournament. Alison Mitchell, Jamie Lankester, Jen Kelly, Carly Bird-Vogel and Jess Granger made it to the District Tournament. All season the girls were pumped-up and ready to play. Although the team will be losing two graduating seniors, there is great enthusiasm for next season.

Eastside Catholic's Boys' Golf Team had experience, depth and drive. Sophomore Dean Delaye led the team, medaling in an amazing six of eight matches. The five boys who went to the Metro Tournament (seniors Tyler Green, David Herman, and Phil Schoessler, sophomore Dean Delaye, and freshman Taylor Brenden) earned Second Place. Phil, David, Dean and Taylor continued on to play in the District Tournament in May 2000. Freshman Taylor continuted on to State. Although the Boys' team will be losing four seniors, enthusiasm runs high for next year.

Head golf coach, Mr. Matt O'Rourke had this prediction about next year, "W e will be Metro and District CHAMPIONS! We rule!" Girls' coaches (and alumni parents) Mr. Mike Winckoski and Mr. Ray Zavislak supported that assessment.

TIME TO GET FIRED UP his year's team was very young and athletic. We played extremely hard every game and never gave up.

Opposing coaches would often greet our Coach Jaimy McLaughlin and comment on how we put our hearts into every game.

Every game was close. We were evenly matched with teams like Holy Names and Lakeside. The outcome of many of our games came down to one lucky or unlucky goal.

This year's league honors were earned by Tonya McLaughlin â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;03-First Team-, Stephanie Lanzer '01, Alison Paine '00, Sheryl Staudacher '02, and Kelsey Sullivan '02--Second Team; Mackenzie Dahl '00, Leah Herr '01, Ashley Milligan '01 and Jamie Palermo '01â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Honorable Mention.

As this year's captains, we were so proud to be a part of such a close and wonderful group of athletes who put so much heart into every game and practice.

G reat Expectations he Varsity Volleyball team began their season in a garage. Actually, for these energetic and determined girls, the season began in June with garage sales and car washes to help pay for the new sleeveless uniform. The uniforms and working for them added to the spirit of unity.

Unity and teamwork were the goals of the season. Individuals im­ proved skills and the team bonded in improved play. Challenging teams like Holy Names took their toll—but the energy of the team remained high. Co-captains Courtney VanGuilder and Lindsay Thompson send this message to next year's squad: "Good luck, have fun, and remember the good times. We will miss you tons! Always remember T.E.A.M.— Together Everyone Achieves More. We love you!"

Coaches Nicole Shay and Christine Cozart held high expectations which challenged the team to be their best.

f you have never seen a water polo match, imagine this: the goal of soccer, the ball handling of basketball, and the physical contact of football. Now throw it all into a 25yard pool and you have the basic idea.

Water polo is one of the most difficult sports at Eastside Catholic. Because of water polo's rather recent addition (Spring 1998) to EC athletics, many students know very little about it. The sport is physically and mentally de­ manding. It requires endurance, accuracy, speed, com­ munication and more that a bit of self-defense knowledge.

For the boys participating in water polo, practices are some of the most difficult. First, the workouts are before school. Athletes must wake up and make the drive out to Hazen High School in Renton by 5:30 AM. During this one-and-a-half hour workout, players build endurance by swimming several hundred yards and doing a variety of water treading exercises. These can be anything from

simply treading water for ten to fifteen minutes, to passi: drills, to a universal favorite: carrying a chair across t deep end several times while trying to keep the chair's le dry. This is followed by ball shooting and defensive dril Keep in mind that the athletes' feet have still not touch the pool bottom. Then, the boys either run through pla; scrimmage, or both for most of the remainder of practi' The last few minutes involve a cool down swim of 1 yards. After showering and changing, the boys are off school. That is with a McDonald's stop along the way Water polo games were held at Hazen as the home p( and at various away locations. The strength of the tec was evident in their depth, their improving skills, and 1 great coaching by Mr. Jim Farrell and Mr. Mike Claus Outstanding achievements this season were a 9th Pk finish at the State High School Championship Meet am dual meet season finish of five wins and two losses.

Going For The G old he O ly m p ic id eal re mained strong and alive at ECHS. In O ctober the Eastside Catholic Options Volleyball Team participated in the Spe­ cial Olympics Fall Tourna­ ment at the Boeing Activities Center in Seattle. The tourna­ ment featured many differ­ ent teams competing for the gold. The Crusaders earned a silver medal and an invita­ tion to the November State Tournament.

The team practiced their volleyball skills every Satur­ day morning from 10:00 to 12:30. In order to keep their bodies energized, they would do flexibility exercises such as running laps, jumping, and stretching. Often, there would be times when the coaches would have talks with the team.

The November State Tour­ nament experience was re­ warding for all participants.

Everyone did something fan­ tastic! They all played with energy, alertness, and excite­ ment. Whenever the ball came toward a team member, they were ready. Playing like a team, the Olympians called out, "I got it!" Everyone sup­ ported each other and never put anyone down.

When the tournament was done, everybody clapped and cheered. It was a special sea­ son w ith a fte r-p ra c tice lu nches, the C heerlead ers support, Noelle Maxson and Jessica Johnson leading the National Anthem. All the par­ ents w ere proud of their children's great achievement.

EASTSIDE CATHOLIC BOYS’ BASKETBALL Tois season, the EC Crusaders provided a nonstop thrill ride of basketball marvels.

Every game seemed to come down to the wire as the Crusaders fought through final quarters. 6 of the Crusaders' 9 losses were within the last second or during ?rtime. Rainier Beach's Championship win was a RB basket as the buzzer sounded.

Other season highlights were the Redondo Seahawk Holiday Classic (in California), he championship game, EC lost 55-60 to Redondo, one of the top USA teams. The isaders were invited to the King Holiday Hoopfest at the Key Arena. Crusaders d on to the 4A Evergreen (Vancouver, WA) team most of the game. The first EC win )'Dea is a record the 99-00 team will hold. The game that captured the season was Metro Playoff against Seattle Prep.

Tiis year's team was as deep. With ten seniors, the Crusaders had the wisdom and skill to make the season an action-packed one. From Taylor's threes to Rahlfs' post ves, to Marshall's free throws and Johnson's drives, the Crusaders launched ither memorable attack on the Metro League. ’he playoff scene was brief this year, with draws of Rainier Beach (51-53), Sammamish -70) and Blanchet (42-43). The buzzer fated a great season and team. —David H erm an

or the Boys' JV Basketball team this was a fantastic season. From Nick Mills' outstanding play in the new Ballard High School gym to the moment that captured the season at W est Seattle, the JV players found much to praise in each other as they turned in a winning season.

Practice involved intensity and hard work, until Coach Paul Sw artosky's four-year-old took the ball to show how he could dribble. Intensity was interspersed with good fun and humor. Practice meant growth and all the JV players grew in their skills and their court savvy.

West Seattle's game found two well matched teams.

Great competitive play saw the end of the game with a tied score. Overtime had no score by either team. The second overtime had no score and the seconds were ticking. At the last second, center Kyle Lipe took control. The Crusad­ ers won by 2 at the buzzer.

Paul Moraski '02 gave the best summary of the season.

"A n all around great season of consistent improvement!"

e v f t TMfeC HA# M A C his season the g irls' b a s­ ketball team achieved first time records for ECHS. On Feb­ ruary 10,2000 the girls clenched a District Tournament berth by de­ feating Nathan Hale 50-43. Ex­ cellent play continued; the team placed 3rd in their Division. For the first time in ECHS history, the girls achieved back to back win­ ning seasons, improving over last year. ECHS girls were a form i­ dable challenge to each opponent, competing aggressively within the Metro league. Balanced in tal­ ent, skill, and spirit, the players competed for playing time as 10 team members were ranked as "starters."

Adding to this excitement, the '99-'00 team was essentially a program in progress. This was a young team with only one senior, three juniors and the rest sopho­ mores and freshmen. Challenges to this sensational season were dram atically overcom e. Alison Mitchell '00 was out with a knee injury off and on. N ew com er Marshaun Barber '01 had to go through the W IAA appeal. Lexi Bean '02 spent half the season overcoming a knee injury. Still, the team won!

Starting in December's early mornings, Coaches Jim Farrell, Susan Cole-Carey, and Mike Claus guided the team from the Hazen Pool (Renton) practices to the Boys' State Meet at the King County Aquatic Center (Federal Way).

Thanks to the 200 Medley Relay finish by Ben Callahan '00, Wes '01 and Reed Miller '03, and Andy Heinz '00 and the 200 Backstroke finish by Kyle Rudolph '00, the EC record 15th in State Boys' finish is a treasured memory. Not to be forgotten are the early practices followed by with McDonald's break­ fasts (boys) and Starbucks stops (girls) on the way to school.

Coach Farrell rejoiced in the team's camaraderie. The swimmers had fun with each other and enjoyed being in the water. With her history of high school and college swim­ ming, Coach Cole-Carey was excited by each PR that was set and then again broken by the determined girls. Coach Claus challenged the swimmers to "mental discipline" and sur­ vived much team teasing about his need for a new morning alarm clock! His final comment to the team on this outstand­ ing season "Makalo!" (H aw aiian "T h an k Y O U .")

Beat O'Dea! oining the Crusaders at the Metro Tourna­ ment, all teams chanted "BEAT O'DEA!" Through the entire season, a goal of the EC Wrestling Team was to beat O'Dea. All energies were intensified as the January 19th match grew near. With each EC wrestler who won, spirits rose. As the match progressed both team s' coaches contested and clarified points. When the final results were in, O'Dea had won an extremely challenging and close meet.

The team took the loss in a positive way, looking forward to next year. For the first time in ECHS wrestling, there will be a year-round freestyle program. Next year, with the leader­ ship of Pritchett, Abbott, Holding, W agner, Eubank, the wrestlers will be ready to beat O'Dea, at home and at State.

Continuing on to State was 160-pound class wrestler Alan Holding.

This success was earned. Daily 3hour practices, Tuesday and Thurs­ day matches, and the all-day Naches and Darrington Saturday tournaments prepared the team physically for Metro. The team was strengthened by a vigorous running, conditioning, wrestling camp at Christmas break.

An inspiring and motivating Olym­ pian, Coach Ron Cole, who was as­ sisted by Tooran Smith, described this as "a year of growth."

“Tie ECHS Drill Team began in the summer and contin. ued through March to create one of their best seasons t. Under the guidance of Coach Karen Skoog and Assisit Coach Michelle Chandler-Smith, the Crusader Drill am performed at most of the home football and basket11 games. Drill also performed at assemblies and other tool-related events. The drillers were invited two outschool competitions. They brought home two second ice trophies from these events. This was the first time in ? school's history the Drill Team received two trophies the same season.

In addition to preparing various and progressively ire difficult routines, drill also prepared for a competi-

tion called "drill down." In this, a caller stated a military marching move for the competitors to perform. This became more difficult as more moves were stated at the same time. Then, drillers were asked to perform "by the number" which requires discipline and memory. Captain Shannon Haines won 8th Place in this difficult event.

Drillers started working hard in January to prepare for the State competition held in Yakima, Washington in March. At State, they earned second place in their Novelty Division with an excellent rating for their "Winter Won­ derland" routine. They had spent extensive hours work­ ing on making their routine the best that it could be.

The drill team invested a lot of time and dedication making the ECHS fans proud and providing great enter­ tainment for the entire school. What an incredible year!

IT'S A GREAT SCHOOL. ECH S parent M ike Brandeberry tells W estern W ashington's P bishop Brunett about the school at the Harbor ( This initial 20th A nniversary celebration wa tended by the Visionary Club and EC Trus

ebruary 14,1980 the documents creating a Catholic High School on the east side of Lake Washington were signed.

It was a tremendous beginning. Spurred by parents who wanted a Catholic High School on the east side, this was a unique venture: a Catholic high school not started by the Archdiocese or by a religious community.

With a parent-composed Board of Trustees, Principal Dick Ellis was selected to start up the new school. The location was the former Bellevue High School (now the Bellevue Park south of Bell-Square). Seventeen teachers and 252 freshman and sophomores opened the doors of Eastside Catholic High School in the fall of 1980.

The early years brought challenges and success. The number of students soared over 800. A nationally recog­ nized special education program, Options, was established.

The exciting music program grew to include two bands and two choirs. Desire for a "our own site" had the Board investigating possible locations in Bellevue and Redmond.

“Tie middle years saw a new principal, Mr. John Costello l. (1987), and a new location—the former Ringdall Junior gh in Newport Hills. The summer of '88 move from one Tiding to another is fabled by those who participated. In other move, the school left Kingco and joined the Metro ague. In '89 an outstanding win—over O'Dea—marked 2 growing strength of the Crusaders' football program.

Jim Dean was named principal in the summer of 1991. ider his leadership, EC grew in internal strength—a caring mmunity of committed students with NCEA recognized ack and Options programs. The arson fire in November 91 gutted the Admin Building and led to an adventure of ^anization and rebuilding. Athletic Director Chuck Tarbox

vitalized extracurricular athletics. Guided by Jim Dean and Joe Mayes, major innovations in computer technology— computer labs and computers in every classroom—moved EC to the forefront of computer-aided learning.

In the fall of 1997 Glen Lutz was named principal. A new administrative structure was inaugurated by the Board: Mr. Leo Marshall became ECHS's first President in 1998.

Under the leadership of Mr. Marshall and Mr. Lutz a strate­ gic plan was developed and implemented. This lead to a thorough review of curriculum and to the major remodel­ ing of Art Rm. 406 and the entire Science wing and to the addition of the Options portable.

20 years! ECHS is definitely alive and growing.

n April 25, 2000, the Bellevue Police and Fire Departments demon­ strated the effects of a drunk driving accident for ECHS and Forest Ridge juniors and seniors. Two cars were brought from a previous head-on collision. Alan Holding '01, Allen Moore '01, and Chris Cunningham '01 were acting as passen­ gers and Greg Johnston '01 was the driver and suppos­ edly driving drunk. The story was that Greg hit the car that Mr. Tom Kittridge was driving with passen­ gers Tyler Hillenbrand '00, Conor Black '00, and Alison Paine '00. Acting as friends of the victim s, Stephanie Coburn '00 and Keri Verkest '00 ran out of a nearby car.

It was known that it was not real, but seeing peers and friends with fake blood on their faces and laying on the ground while hearing sirens in the background made the scene real and frightening.

After the simulation the students went to the gym to le a rn ab o u t the c o n se ­ quences and hear real life stories. Mike Buckingham, a former state trooper and victim of a DUI driver, used dice and a credit card to help students realize that be­ coming the victim of a drunk driving accident is a matter of chance. Hopefully the mock drunk driving acci­ dent will be as close to real life ECHS and Forest Ridge students will ever have to experience.

Staying at St. Joseph School in Sunnyside, they went to Prosser and Toppenish to build houses for underprivileged families. Students had expectations ranging from community service to helping those in need. Not only did they fulfill these but they came home with much more. Throughout the trip the students met wonderful people (Marty, the "Bob Villa" of Yakima), made friendships, and came home knowing that they had made a lasting effect on someone's life. This trip was both spiritually and personally fulfilling. Who we are as the community of Eastside Catholic invites us to do more joint ventures with groups such as Habitat for Humanity.

he social event of this spring was the Junior-Senior Prom, Castle in the Clouds. Planned and sponsored by the Junior class, the Prom was held in the Dome Room of the Arctic Building in downtown Seattle.

As couples, double dates, or groups of six to twentytwo, 242 students attended. For most, the Prom events began with dinner (Anthony's Homeport was a favorite).

For some like Alison Wright '01, Betsy Mead '01, Rhiannon Andreini '03 and Jamie Palermo '01 the festivities began with a 9 AM breakfast at Andy Behren's home prepared by dates Andy '01, Samuel Ziemba '01, Donny Dana '01, Tom Casne '01 and Phil Sanchez '01. Many girls had hair appointments; 4 PM was a busy salon time. Transporta­ tion to dinner and the dance varied from students' cars, to parents' cars, to limos.

Post Prom activities included Cosmic bowling (formals with bowling shoes), a coffee shop and conversation, videos at a friend's home, a ferry ride, a very early morn­ ing breakfast, and, for some, an early arrival home.

For each student the event was a special experience, marked by home or professional photos. These Castle in the Clouds memories were treasured in the gift photo frame provided by the Junior class.

FINAL ACT A C TIO N !! ith the hushing of voices, the making of final checks and the beating of ner­ vous hearts, the curtain was drawn, spotlight turned on and life exploded on all areas of the stage in the two-plus hour Forest Ridge—ECHS production of Meridith Willson's The Music Man. The story line concerns a trav­ eling salesman who cheats towns by setting up a boys' band, col­ lecting the instrument money and leaving before the band is as­ sembled. With a twist on this, Professor Harold Hill falls in love with Marian, a quiet librarian of River City, Iowa. David Rand '00 starred as Professor Harold Hill with co-stars Carissa Campbell '01 and Emjoy Gavino (Forest Ridge) as "Marian the Librarian."

Over 65 Forest Ridge and ECHS dedicated actors, musi­ cians, and stage crew started their play preparation in late February and went up through the final production on May 7, 2000. For ten weeks, Monday through Thursday, actors practiced from 3:30 until 6:30. ECHS junior Carissa Campbell's leadership was evident on stage (great act­ ing and a crisp clear voice that rang beautifully throughout the theatre) and behind scenes at practices. To fully understand the magic that was created between cast and crew, cast and audience, between schoolmates and be­ tween inter-schoolmates, one had to experience the play.

This is the second year that the students of Eastside Catholic and Forest Ridge have been privi­ leged to work together to create a spectacular event for all to see.

For four days (May 4-7,2000) the Forest Ridge theatre was lit up with the laughter of families and friends enjoying themselves.

Professionalism and style, excel­ lence and enjoyment marked The Music Man. —Erik Shim izu

Not on the calendar.... bout 7:30 AM on Thursday, March 30, ECHS received two voice messages from an unknown caller. Left the previous evening, the messages were of a serious nature: the threat of a bomb on the school premises. Staff and students were immediately vacated from the building. The Bellevue Police Department was notified. Mr. Lutz and Mr. Rodenburg assisted the police in searching the school for signs of explosives or suspicious items. Heavy, bulky looking backpacks in the locker rooms and in the library were carefully searched. Nothing was found. At about 9:30 the police announced that the grounds were clear.

Mr. Lutz made the decision that it would best serve students' sense of security to keep the building closed for the day. So, with the BPD's "all clear" students were allowed to return to the building to collect belongings and then were dismissed for the day.

ECHS students remained relaxed and calm despite the jarring possibility of a bomb in their school. The wait on the track was long but not a problem for students like Carrie Donaldson '01. "After the TV choppers left, we played Red Rover. It was fun, but we lost."

Principal Lutz commented, "Our bomb procedure ran very smoothly and I'm proud of the students, teachers, and staff who executed it very well and remained calm."

Then, unpredicted and unex­ pected, on January 11, 2000 those prayers were answered.

The top of the Newport Hills area was blanketed with snow during the early morning com­ mute. A quick decision and announcement for radio and television stations alerted most students to the closure. Others found out about it as they en­ tered the school parking lot.

W ith exam s com ing and projects due, students quickly adjusted to the change. A day off before the semester's end was put to good use.

“To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one’s self; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived ...this is to have succeded.

ULAR SPEA K ER . Heather Shell carries flowers after her presentation Option' end of the year Banquet. Heather also spoke at Senior Tribute.

ie May 24 Senior Tribute was an opportunity to celebrate the gift the Class of 2000 has been to the school community.

It was a time, too, for beginning to say good-bye. Senior Class Officers, Kevin Kelly, Patrick D'Ambrosio, Tyler Green and Laura Henigson organized the ceremony.

Shannon Haines and Megan Kinnear led the assembly of parents, faculty and students in prayer. Student speakers Alison Mitchell and Jon Ferrari used laughter and tears to summarize the class's ECHS years. Heather Shell spoke of four years of growth and achievements. In a moving talk, Dr. Gary Culbert explained the traditions and rituals that hold secure the meaning of graduation. Kevin Kelly introduced the Senior Slide Show; new technology of scanned photos only made this a more enjoyable presentation. Laura Henigson closed the Tribute by leading the passing of leadership ritual, as the Class of 2001 accepted lighted candles and their new roles.

T

M O V IN G O N . Garth Downing and Eric Nelson pass the lighted candles of leadership to juniors.

W H E N Y E A R B O O K S C O M E. Alison Mitchell and Jon Ferrari re­ cap the four years of living as a graced community of friends and learners, that is the Class of '00.

PEO PLE OF THE YEA R. P atrick D 'A m b ro sio shares a Kiwanis Awards breakfast with his mother. At Graduation, Patrick received the Principal's Award, designating an outstanding young person who lives out all the ECHS hopes for each student. Mrs. D'Ambrosio received the Distin­ guished Service Award from the Booster's Club in April. Also at Graduation, the PFA presented Keri Verkest and David Rand the Most Inspirational Award. Brian Reymann earned the Cathy Lockman Community Service Award.

Only as high as we reach, can u)egrow.

Only asfa r as we seek, can we go.

Only as deep as we look, can we see.

Only as much as we dream, can we be.

Senior Tribute 225

raduation is a time that com ­ bines pomp and pageantry, ritual and recognition, honor and joyous so­ lemnity. It is a closure but also a new beginning. There are goodbyes and fresh acquaintances. Tears of laughter as well as joy fill the eyes of proud parents, family, friends and emotional participants.

In his graduation prayer Board of Trustees President Bill Butler asked that God "instill in [the graduates] a sense of awe, wonder, and excitement about their path ahead, wherever it may lead. Grant them the courage, wisdom, and patience to learn and accept Your will in their lives."

In the midst of the ceremony, the anticipation is almost tangible. There is an electric air of expectancy and hope. As President Leo Marshall stated in his address, "One purpose of edu­ cation must be to help our young men and women understand that they live in an interdependent world for which they are responsible." Valedictorian Michael Ross closed his speech with a quote from Gandhi/'Be the change you want to see in the world."

Congratulations,Class of 2000. May God be with you on your journey.

Rekdahl ponder the future as they ready themselves for this momentous turning point in their lives. More than an obligatory ritual, the Graduation event culminates one phase of life as it ushers the students into the next.

Keeping Track of Time "BOO KIN G IT." Justin Rogers '00 explodes out of the blocks for the first leg of the 4x100 meter relay. Justin, Conor Black '00, Jason Willis '02 and Michael Weber '02 brought the 4x100 team through the District Meet to com­ pete on May 26, 2000 in the Wash­ ington AAA State Championships.

UP AND OVER. Charlie Osborn '00 clears the bar on his third and final attempt. His personal record of 6'4" qualified him as one of the seven Cru­ saders who proceeded to the State Meet on May 26. Charlie's 6'0" at State earned for him 9th Place honors.

Mike Tazic coached the high jumpers.

At the March 31, 2000 track meet, Katherine Herman '02 readies herself for the 400 meter dash. Seconds later, she leads the pack coming in at the finish line.

Katherine was a determined athlete who experienced many PR's—the re­ sult of talent and consistency at daily practices, according to ECHS coaches.

he 200 ECHS Track and Field Team had a gruelling year-battling injuries, raining, cold weather, challenging competition at m eets-to come out with some stand out performances from many Crusaders' stars.

Athletes worked as individuals and as a team. Four days of practice requiring personal determination and intensity preceded each meet.

After stretches and warm-up laps, the various event athletes went to their designated workouts. Sprinters learned all the gradations of the road to school as they repeatedly ran up 60th Street. Jumpers and hurdlers ran the track and worked on timing, strength and form. Coach Tazic worked on skills, form and height with the high jumpers. Out in the field, Coach Plushke directed the throwers in form and style—and on spending more time in the Weight Room. Typically, the anticipated meets were on Fridays at West Seattle Stadium and, except for two, in the rain.

Practice, determination and endurance had their rewards. Justin Rogers '00 went to State, taking 6th Place in the 110 High Hurdles (15:10) and 7th Place in the 300 hurdles (40:02). Danika Desclos '01 tied with four other jumpers (4th through 8th Places) with a 5'2" high jump. A 6'0" high jump earned Charlie Osborn '00 a 9th Place. Alistair Patrick '01 turned in an impressive list of accomplishments: 2nd in the 100 and 400 meter, 4th in the 1600 meter and a 4th Place in shot put.

At the Awards Banquet, Sara Sibley '02 was singled out to receive the Coaches' Award for personal dedication and achievement. The Most Inspirational Award was earned by Matt Schille '03. All athletes were worthy of kudos for a great season.

Tennis, Anyone? his y ear's tennis team w orked hard through very tough competition and fun practices. In the end it paid off because they won their division for the very first time and placed third in Metro. Coaches Laurel Shrang and Cathy Saffel were so proud of their team as Kelsey Boys '02 placed sixth, Jason Ghaffari '03 and Brian Drum '03 placed sixth in doubles, and Quinn Calderon '01 took fourth which sent him to Districts.

There were many challenges during the season but what makes even more rewarding the team's accom足 plishments. First they needed to adjust to the new varsity coach, Laurel Shrang. Second and most apparent in the Northwest is the rain! Unlike many sports, tennis be足 comes dangerous when the court gets wet, leaving the team with less time to practice. However, working through the difficult times empowered them to achieve great success. The tennis team knew that this year's team spirit and accomplishments were not a coincidence. They were the natural result of dedication, excellence, and the support of their teammates, coaches, and family.

Standout Quinn Calderon '01 deservedly won the Most Inspirational award. Calderon and Kelsey Boys '02 won the Captain's awards. Adam Willenborg '00 and Lauren Rignel '00 won the Coach's awards.

STEALING TIME his year's baseball team was known and feared for their ability to successfully steal bases. In one memo­ rable matchup versus Nathan Hale, Austin Harvie '01 stole home in the bottom of the eighth inning to clench an 8-7 win over the Raiders. In another exciting game, Scott Brandeberry '02 "crushed" a pitch into a three run homerun against Lakeside which fell to the Crusaders in a whop­ ping 23-6 rout. Although being edged out of the State tournament by the vengeful Nathan Hale Raiders, the Crusaders will remember this year as a winning season.

They went 8-7 in league play with a 9-8 season overall.

According to Eastside Eclipse reporter Chivas DeVinck '01, some players were disappointed with the outcome of the season, especially with such ample talent.

Nevertheless, the Crusaders were proud of their ac­ complishments. Coaches Julio Cruz, Bill Caudill, and Ron Greenlee have a pool of fine players from which to draw next year's team. Captains and Senior team leaders were David Cunningham, Alex Justus, Casey Boos, Andrew Norris, and Adam Taylor. Awards went to Jacob Heide '02(Coach's Award), Alex Justus '00(Most Valuable Player), David Cunningham (Inspirational), and Austin Cruz '01 (Dedication). The depth of talent runs deep for the Crusaders with several underclassmen showing great promise for the future of the ball club.

HIT'EM IN oftball had a super season this year finishing with a 8:7 record and great scores for perseverance in facing challenges. The EC girls' team overcame obstacles like the loss of key players and a coach. They lost a coach in the middle of the season; Mr. Dave Gertlar took over as head coach. Everything seemed to happen to the team at the same time. Two players, Jamie Palermo '01 and Stephanie Coburn '00, went down with injuries. Overcoming a lack of varsity experience with great talent and skill, the two underclassmen pitchers performed magnificently for the Lady Crusaders. Overcoming challenges and drawbacks, the team had a successful and definitely fun year. With the help of their assistant coach Victor or "V-Dogg," the softball team made it to the third game of the Metro playoffs. It was a season of spirit and success.-whitney Smith

BALL. Nikki Herr '01 holds her swing as the ball flies by her. Part of being a great soft­ ball player is anticipating what will be a ball or will be a strike.

STRIKE OUT. Jeanna Wilkes '02 prepares to strike out the opposing player. Jeanna was an excellent underclassmen pitcher with an im­ pressive number of strike outs over the season.

S T E A L-W H E N I SAY. Jamie Palermo '01 listens for Victor's command to steal second base. Stealing is a challenging skill which re­ quires good timing and speed. It is more diffi­ cult than the girls' team made it seem. This was a strong offensive skill the team developed.

HIT IT TO ME. Alison Michelle '00 gets ready as the pitcher prepares to fire it in. As first baseman, Alison had to keep her eye on the ball while also watching the runner on first base.

A SWING AND A MISS. Colleen Ingalls '02 anticipates the pitch so that she can field the ball correctly. The Metro league rules allowed the catcher to have a pinch runner—possibly be­ cause of all the gear the pitcher needs to wear.

It was the ECHS girls' defense that made the water polo team so com­ petitive and successful this season.

Women of the Waves his year the ECHS Girls' Water Polo team exceeded all previous years' achievements. Afternoon practices at the Newport Hills Swimming/Tennis Club or challenging games occupied 5 days a week during their busy spring season. The team was consistently enthusiastic and pre­ sented themselves with pride and dignity at each event.

With a season record superior to both of the two previous seasons, the Crusaders had a great chance to make it to State. In a rigorous game against Bellevue High School, the Varsity girls tried but fell short. The JV team did succeed and played in the State Tournament held at Mercer Island. This terrific season finished with a bang and with great memories of hard work, fun in the water, and Outstanding achievements. --Bethany Schoessler, Jenn Geels

Time's Up! We present this volume of Tapestry to you. We hope it captures your year and experiences as a new chapter began at Eastside Catholic High School.

Our goal from the beginning was coverage, inclusion, coverage. Our intent was to include each person at least three times in this YOUR book. To those of you whom we missed, our true apologies. For all, we hope that you see yourselves, your friends, and the many people and events that were part of this year. We hope it calls to mind truly good memories of success and challenges, of growth and God's grace.

Our list of THANK YOU's is extensive. To all who have given support (Admin­ istration), information and ideas-thank you. The photos have been taken by Yearbook staff members and advisors, by ECHS accountant Mike Bussing, by teachers and coaches-especially appreciated were Tina Irish, Jim Farrell and Mark Brandmire, by parents, by students, and by Helene Johnson. Thank you for sharing your talents and resources. For proof reading, having needed information, and always time to help us, we are indebted to Helene Johnson.

Each staff member pulled his/ her own weight in special and unique ways. Each has earned a special THANK YOU. There were, of course, standouts. Thank you to Jenn Geels--who had the incredible ability to produce a masterpiece DPS with great copy, when most needed. Thank you to Elliott Gray--who took on the more difficult topics and created great copy and layout. Thank you to Jeff Pietz—who came in second semester to rescue the Frosh pages. Thank you to Whitney Smith-who had a name for each person in any photo and knew the information needed for copy. Thank you to Phil Dunkerton—whose consistency and computer skills were inspirational. Thank you to those who came in after school and on Saturdays. Thank you to Lucas Graf and Shane Eubank for creativity! A very special thank you to Mike Boska-who took on several difficult pages, the Senior Ads, and the meticulous time-consuming work of creating the INDEX. As a Yearbook staff, we have been most generously and professional served by Jostens' representative, Jim Bellomo. Whether it was more autograph supple­ ments, encouragement, materials, program short cuts, or (again) telling Sr. Sara how to use Year tech, Jim Bellomo was always there for us.

Thank you to Bill Marsh and Keith Curtis who served as advisors, first and second semester. The long and extra hours, insight, and critical eye were essential to a quality book.

The most important and deserved thank you to Alison Paine, who served as EDITOR for the entire year. Alison not only has a great sense of yearbooking and layout, she deeply cared that this—your book—would be the best.

That this book is arriving later than any of us thought it would is the responsibility and fault of Sr. Sara. As gate-keeper of the pages, I had high standards that were not easily or quickly reached. For the lateness, I do sincerely apologize. Still, I hope that what the class has prepared and presented does bring you joy and good memories.

It has been a year of great leadership, academic and athletic successes, growing community service and God's Jubilee graces abounded. It is hard to say good­ bye to the good people who have enriched the Eastside Catholic community in 1999-2000. But, time's up. God be with each of us as we continue life's journey.
