Supervising the main operations of the school, the Administration prepares class schedules, approves extra-curricular activities, maintains food, transportation and custodian services, and co-ordinates library books and media with classroom requirements. The Administration is directed by Bishop Edward McCarthy to provide a Christian education for the students at Seton. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, our patron saint, guides the administration and students through their Christian teaching and development.

Spanish Reading and English

Exposing her students to a new and different culture Ms • .:-.1ary Haggerty informs her students of the basic skills necessary in nnderstanding Spanish. Spanish Cultures teaches the background of the .Mexican and South American people, while Spanish I concentrates on vocabulary, and Spanish II leads to a broader knowledge of the grammar and speaking habits.

While Spanish focuses on communication in Spanish, Reading helps us to understand our English language more thoroughly. Reading is a federally funded program that provides assistance to students by giving them more time with individualized reading instruction using materials geared to their reading level.

, , • the Senior class (alias, the class with the Spirit of '76). The members of this class have been through four ages together filled with activities and emotions of every kind. In one age they were filled with grief and unified with the comfort each offered to the other in the tragedy of the death of a classmate. This feeling of closeness has been carried on throughout their stay in the Land of Seton, with the climax at the end of the year when graduation takes place. However, as Seniors will come to know, graduation isn't an ending because, Seniors, you are on the threshold of your dream.

Out of the pomp, circumstance, and unrestrained excitement of the Event, there is one lasting result, there remains the shining form of humanity's highest aspirations, molded in thought and more powerful and alive than any material world force: the dreams of what you hope to be.

Saint Elizabeth

Ann Seton

Elizabeth Ann Seton, for whom our school is named, is a special patron to persons of every station and way of life. In her forty-six years, she experienced a wide variety of contrasts. Although she was both loving and lovable, she knew rejection, for her step-mother never really accepted herand formanyyears, her beloved father seemed unable to show the affection he later demonstrated. A member of a well-to-do family, with failure of her husband's health and business, she experienced the anxieties of the poor. Once quite popular in the fashionable New York society of her day, she became, because of her conversion, a social outcast in that bigoted era. After a brief ten years as a happy wife and mother, she was widowed at the age of thirty. She had so great a love of life that as a child she cried when playmates dashed nearly-hatched eggs to the ground. Yet she was surrounded by death. Within a few years she lost two of her children and two step-sisters whom she had mothered for twelve years, as well as many of the young sisters to whom she was a spiritual mother. Despite her ardent Episcopalianism for two-thirds of her life, after a year of spiritual torment and at great personal cost, she became a Catholic.

The blessed Sacrament was for her a mainstay throughout her life, and from her conversion on, she also had a deep devotion to the Blessed Mother. Two of her life-long virtues were her acceptance of the Will of God and her great concern for the unfortunate. These led her to establish the first American sisterhood, the Sisters of Charity, and to begin the first parochial school in the United States. In her spirit the young community soon provided hospital, orphanage and other social services.

Appropriately, in this bicentennial year, the Church proclaimed her the first native United States saint--

SAINT ELIZABETH M'N SETON!

This tremendous turnout aided the Sentinels in ending the season with a 4-4 record, but they averaged 22 points per game while holding opponents to approximately 11 points.

I Know a Place Where Dreams Are Born

and time is never planned it's not on any chart

you must find it in your heart, NEVER NEVER LAND

It may be miles beyond the moon

Or right there where

you stand

Just keep an open mind and then Suddenly you'll find NEVER NEVER LAND.

You'll have a treasure if you stay More precious far than gold

For once you have found your way there

You will never never go And that's my home where dreams are born And time is never planned.
