Homecoming/Spirit Week

Homecoming i a time of the year to look forward to. Th homecoming game i the last home football game of the season. Homecoming dance follows as a time to make memories. Before the Homecoming weekend, Seton ha a week full of fun activitie called Spirit Week. Fre hman Initiation kicks off this week. This is when we get to welcome our incoming fre hman and watch them embarra them elve . Heather Ferris commented, "I thought it was extremely unique. It felt like a fool, but it was a good feeling." And Radey Thompson aid, "I can't wait for revenge!" Francine Eshelman, a enior commented, "Freshman Initiation rules are too tough, but other than that I think I got them." Next followed the Bonfire, on Wedne day, put on by the cheerleaders to raise the spirit for the upcoming game. "There was so much pirit and everyone was pumped up for the game," said a shy ophomore. Thur day was Senior Slave Day, a day to embarrass the senior you bo u g ht, and also ma k e them do what-

ever you want them to do. Now the freshman could buy his or her senior and seek some revenge. Some s niors this year went for more than $100. Steve Mikac felt, "It was a wonderful experience and I want to do it again." Matt Mei ter aid, "It's touching that people dre ed me up for what I am." Pete Vlastelica said, "I got Tim and John pretty good and they got me back! John' mom paid big cash and hopefully got every penny's worth."

Friday the cheerleaders held a pep rally to excite the students for the game that night. "The cheerleaders at the pep rallies are excellent," said Jes a Wright. Finally the big game arrived. Thi year's game was fought again t the Valley Chri tian Trojans. "It wa a good game and lot of fun. Too bad we didn't win," said Syboanae Sabori. Spirit Week ended Saturday night with the Homecoming Dance. To the graduating Senior : goodbye and good luck. We hope your last Homecoming/Spirit Week at Seton was memorable.

TIME FOR GOD

Retreats give students time to renew their relationship with God.

Each year, students at Seton have the opportunity to get away and reflect on their relationships with God, others, and themselves For freshmen and sophomores, this involves a day away from the pressures of school and teachers. These students offer God seven hours of love and reflection. While underclassmen ar required to take this time out, JUniors and seniors have to make a commitment to God and their classmates. For these students, a weekend away

from home is planned to offer the students quality time with God and friends. An attitude of trust and respect is ma.tntained as students have the opportunity to share a part of themselves not often seen on a dayto-day basis at school. These retreats combine love and respect to provide an atmosphere m which students can get to know one another on a more personal level, and return to Seton united as "one Body in Christ."

FOOD FOR THOUGHT. Freshmen take a break for lunch during the Freshmen Retreat. Evident in their smile , they enjoy the food and the opportunity to learn mor about their fellow classmates.

THE SERPENT

Directed by David Barker and his assistant Andrea Formato, "The Serpent" which played March 9-11, dazzled the Seton community with its non-conformi t plot, diver e characters and creative set designs. As its central theme, "The S rpent" sought to explore the complexity of the human mind, particularly in relation to the crime of murder. The cast brought thi theme to life. Erin Sheehy played a dead women, the devil, God, a sheep, a sling, a roly poly creature, and a flower. Seniors Jen Koesser and Suzie Genzler enchanted the audience with their terrific voice Rhonda Marron amazed everyone by reciting a whole scene backwards.

The ground-breaiGng for our gymnasium was January 1994, but becau e of delay , the building did not start until the summer. Once the building of the gym tarted, S ntinel howed their support by participating in work parti s. They h lped by hoveling dirt, cleaning up around the gym, and painting. The promi e of a new gym has been present since Seton moved to the new campus. Last year that dream became reality. Sadly thi year' senior will never get to ee a home ba ketball game played on S ton soil in their year a Seton students. Sentinel to come will be able to enjoy the gym and see games on a home court.

Seton Builds Up the Body of Christ

In 1969, the Diocese of Phoenix was established by Bishop McCarthy. For twenty-five years, the Diocese grew in population and faith.

On December 6, thousands of Catholics gathered at America West Arena to celebrate their silver anniversary. Seton was well represented with Br. Casey and Elisabeth Krick in the opening procession, and Melissa Matthews and Shannon Hunt as violinists in the orchestra. There were many activities at Seton to celebrate the diocesan anniversary as well. Mrs. Cordano organized

an all-night Prayer Vigil to pray for the diocese. Her sophomore religion class also performed skits to promote the Anniversary Mass. A special group, touring the world with the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, visited Seton with this holy image. They handed out rosaries to help the students reflect and pray for the diocese. In its contribution to the anniversary celebration, Seton was successful in its mission as a Catholic school to build up the Body of Christ.

PRAYER. Students gather in the library to offer their prayer for the Diocese during an allnight Prayer Vigil.

Days of Our Lives

ophomore year i a great year for opportunity. We've climbed one step up. We're not fre hman anymore! "What is great about being a ophomore is telling Fr shm n that their class is in the 'B' building," '>ays B cky Regalado. B th Ho I and ate L nhart say, "We could dominate this school becau e we have one of th bigge t cia· es and a lot of great people." hri Barker and James Ryan say, "School i easier with le s homework." While Juli Brown thinks, "Sophomor year is more difficult academically than last year."

After those long nights of continuous homework, isn't it great catching up on leep in class? Then sometimes you get your work-out running to get to the front of the lunch line or through the lunch mob.

Thi year mo t of us turn sixteen. We finally got to drive! Clear the idewalkswe've got our license ! We're steppin' up, getting older, and becoming more indep ndent. Each year new friendships are made and other relationships are trengthen to last a lifetime and h lp u get through the bad exp rience . W ndi Da is ays, "Friendship are great. I've made a lot more friends, and tronger friendship with some of the one from last year. Th re are orne great friend I've made that aren't sophomores, even om fr shm n." A great aspect about Seton is the ability to get to know everyone. Kell y Corb tt, a new ophomore this year says, "It was ea y to make friend because you guy ar o nice."

The rule pertaining to freshman initiation have changed over the years and

T h is is the day that strikes fear into the hearts of all freshman.

orne seniors thought that the cia s of '98 had it ea y . " They really didn ' t hav as much fun a we had when we were freshmen," said Pete Mayo and John Greksa both '95. Mo t of the fre hm n did in fact enjoy the day. " It was a crazy thing to do, " laughed Michelle Lacanne ' 98. Even Aileen Opulenda said, " It was a good laugh and 'laid back fun "

In pigtails and pajamas , Jacque Kochis ' 98 carries a teddy bear and a pillow a' she mingle with her fellow qudents during lunch Jacque ' s beautiful wardrobe was the work of Mandy Husson ' 95 "It was fun but embarrassing I didn ' t like bowing to all the Seniors," says Jacque

Volleyball eason was a success in the fall of 1994 When our lady Sentinels first began, all they wanted was to do their be t. Coaches Fraher, Cranswick and Murella set high goal for their teams, and the Varsity squad earned a trip to the State play-offs for the first time in eight year The efforts of Mandy Hu son and Anne Marie Servino were endless and contributed greatly to the season's outcome. The team will never forget being seeded number one in the Phoenix Christian tournament. They continued to show a never-ending pursuit of victory by sweeping Queen Creek at the Freshman, Junior Varsity and Varsity level Catherine Richard and Cara LaBrie con tantly dominated the net with countle blocks, and Kim Thoma showed her power with strong spike

The Freshman and JV team are applauded, as well, and look forward to the future Heather Ferris and Rosa Bernasconi excelled, and led the teams to victory and great learning.

Of course, congratulation go out to the Varsity players who received special awards at the fall sports banquet: Suzy Genzler, Most Improved, Heidi Stoll, Coaches' Award and Aryn Seminara, MVP. Good job, girls!

BOISTEROUS BOYS

SHAZZAM-WHAT A SHOT!

The Boys Varsity Basketball Team has had quite a season this year. Tony Piowarsy, one of the team captains, demonstrated great skill while continuing his four year basketball career at Seton Catholic High School. Matt Wetzel, also on his fourth year, is a great asset to the team. Combined, they led the team shooting accurate three pointers. The unforgettable game of the season was the home game against Superior. The determined Sentinels won a dramatic victory after a last-minute shot made by Tony which defeated the Panthers. Senior Matt Meister, also a team captain,

has added to the team's high scoring along with Junior Mike Schweinberg.

The Sentinels were the team to watch as they battled each game with a winning attitude. Nick Acedo had to attend to some temporary injuries that kept him away from playing a few games. Israel Garza expressed his basketball talents by scoring many times throughout the season. The endless effort of Israel Garza and Dave Brown helped aid the team in its time of great need. Mr. Mauro and J.V. Coach Jose Graham coaxed the team toward success.

TIME OUT. The Varsity Team listens anxiously as Dave Brown stares down the other team. Mr. Mauro devises a victorious plan.

The Seton campus had a lot to be excited about when it came to the girls ' basketball team At th e time of press, the team was a perfect 16-0, with two tournament trophies and a two-time tourney MVP It is the opinion of this reporter that nothing less than a state champ10mhip trophy will sit m the new display case next year I have reason to back up this opimon

Veteran Coach Karen O ' Connor had big plans for the team at the start of the season With an expenenced (all starters returnmg) yet powerfully young team , the girls seemed to hold all the right ingredients for victory With the addition of hot freshmen Beth Mitchell and Rosa Bernasconi, the Sentinels were set. (Bernasconi was the afore-men-

tioned tourney MVP and she' s only a freshman')

Aidmg Bernasconi at guard were Megan Millanez , Nicole Hank and Katie Placido, who could drive, -.hoot or dish to any of the strong supply of forwards (Cathenne Richard , Kim Thomas, Beth Mitchell and Julie Sterkow1tz were favorites ) Though many said the Sentinels owned ten starters, Mandy Hu-.son and Jackie Walker , among other-., came off the bench to aid their team to victory

JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL

The Junior Varsity Basketball Team has been a great uccess during the 1994-1995 season. Players uch as Ali Gunning and Heather Tomasek have added to the teams' accomplishments as guards. When we watch players like Julie Brown and Angie Hauber we get a peek at our future Varsity Team. Through all of their victories, they have worked together and formed the Seton Catholic J.V. Basketball Team.

DEDICATION, DESIRE

The wrestlers started the new season with a lot of hard work and effort. The many hours of practice the wrestlers spent getting ready for the opponents they were going to face seemed to have paid off at the first match. The coach was pleased with the performance of the team. An athlete must have mental and physical toughness to be a wrestler. Our wrestlers have proven that many times. This year's team was led by new Coach Tyler Brandt. With his new techniques of wrestling, coach Brandt hoped to lead the team to many team titles as well as individual titles for the wrestlers. The wrestling team has many young grap-

piers to start a good foundation for the program for years to come. The younger wrestlers found their place and began to shine; they came to life, showing those wrestlers they faced and who watched them that the young Seton wrestlers can be a hard force to deal with. The returning lettermen were junior Josh Powers at 103 lbs., seniors Stephen Perez Mikac at 135 lbs. and Dan Walker at 152 lbs. The bad boy veterans consistently placed in the top 4 at tournaments on their quest to take the state title this year. It takes a man, not a boy, for the bone breaking, gut wrenching, and nose b leeding sport of wrestling. MA IPULATIO .

J@SALSA gives students a break from the train and stress of class,and is intended to foster spirit and communication.

Some were held for the HS Can Drive, Crosswalk Safety Awareness and in preparation for the 25th Anniversary of the Diocese of Phoenix. But important events also took place every day in SALSA. These events included receipt collection, catching up on homework, snacking and sleeping.

"A Perfect Day"

When you com to the end of a p rfect day,

And you sit alone with your thought,

While the chimes ring out with a carol gay, For the joy that the day has brought,

Do you think what the end of a perfect day,

Can mean to a tired heart,

When the sun goes down with a flaming ray

And the dear fri nd have to part.

Well thi is the end of a perfect day,

Near the end of a journey t o,

But it leaves a thought that is big and trong,

With a wish that i kind and true,

For mem'ry has painted thi perfect day

With colors that never fade,

And we find at the end of a perfect day

The soul of a friend we've made.

Here ' s a closer look at the crew who

PUT IT ALL TOGETHER.

The Sentinel wa produced by a group of 23 dedicated student . Under the leadership of Pete Vlastelica a Editor-in-Chief and Jennifer Ba tian, Elisabeth Krick, Becky Regalado and Erin Seminara a Assistant Editors, the team has produced a top-notch yearbook. Numerou improvement have been made to thi year's book. For the first time in Seton history, we have included a copy of World Beat, a publication which record major world events for the year. In doing so, students will be able to look back and recall the days in their live as tudents and as members of their larger community--the world.

Writing something like this isn ' t easy. But, since I took on the noble title of Editor of this publication , I suppose it is my duty You may be wondering, dear reader, why I get this page all to myself-to do with it whatever I please. Aller all, I , Pete Vlastelica , am just another Seton student like yourself. I wondered that, too But I stopped wondering and started writing

First off, I want to explain the purpose of this book Why did we , the yearbook staff and I , the Editor spend so much time putting together the something decent which exists in the previous pages? The answer is simple : Pride We want to give to you something that you could be proud of. This year at Seton has been unique : full of memories , good and better This book has kept track of these and presents them in a clear and hopefully entertaining manner. Pride

I must tell the troth The production of this book has been done in part for my personal gain My pride Those of you who know me know that I take pride in whatever I do I do my best I put my name on this book as Editor, so I wanted something that I could truly be proud of Now Fifty years from now. Don ' t complain. The result is the best possible yearbook for you

But by no means did I do it alone I was the Editor I edited My personal thanks are extended,

Bob Muller from Jostens: need I say more?

So , my hope is that anyone who is reading this book is finding some pride in it

themselves

it 's for you

book was done for you (Didn ' t he just say he did it for himself? Yeah , I know. Can ' t it be both?) Everything in here was done with the intention of making Sue Freshman and Joe Senior happy, excited about their Yearbook and their school. I hope we succeeded

APPROVED? Becky Regalado submits a page to Mrs Elliott, while the cheerful Christi Hurry asks what she can do.
HEY! Taking a break from working on yearbook, Erin Sheehy throws popcorn at the camera. Erin proved to be a valuable photographer
