For them this is a once in a lifetime occasion to be shared with friends and loved ones, whose memory they will always cherish. The annual senior retreat is the day when members of the graduating class come together and collectively participate in various activities as a class. Designed to promote spiritual awareness of the milestone which is occurring in their lives, this day of re- laxation gives the seniors a chance to congregate as a united body. Seniors also use the event to reflect upon their four years of high school and what they can anticipate in their fu- ture lives as adults. A most memora- ble affair, the retreat helps seniors to realize the great change which is tak- ing place before their eyes. Sharing in a group discussion is just one of the activities that is a part of the senior retreat. Here, several have joined together after inde- pendent work to review what they wrote. Caught up in the spirit of the occasion, class- mates and friends Jason Balkcom and Shan- non Wagner share a hug in celebration of their long, enduring relationship with one another.

This years sev- enth graders are proof that growing up is both fun and challenging. It's no doubt that they've found middle school different from experiences in elemen- tary school, but how are they handling it? Great, of course. Seventh graders are dedicated, hardworking, and very fun-loving. Despite their youth, they've learned the very grown-up tasks of becoming self-starters, hard workers, and tal- ented individuals. Most learning takes place on differ- ent levels. Individually, coping with the new pressures of middle school is enough. Collectively, they learn the importance of friendships and shar- ing. Being part of the whole middle school makes teamwork a must.

Two weeks later the two teams met at the Charter Soccer Complex, but this time the Eagles de- feated the Cavaliers 2-0. The next meeting would be in the Semi-Finals of the State Tournament. Once again the Cavs showed their winning form by upsetting Stratford 2-1. The Cavs were now on their way to the State Fi- nal against Frederica. After 80 min- utes of intense play, the Cavs, unable to score, lost 1-0. The team only had one thing to say, Thanks for your support. This years soccer team conquered many difficulties to be- come champs in the hearts of every Cavalier fan. Be aggressive! Junior Joey Filush won't let anyone get in his way. His winning attitude has been a great contribution to this years team. Joey led the team in assists this year and was the second leading goal scorer.

Time To Shine Through pain staking labor, a whole lot of heart, and encourage- ment from the fans, the Cavaliers managed to let their true talent shine. This talent did not appear overnight, but rather has been a result of a few years of diligent preparation. The team started off their training for the season early, beginning in the sum- mer when the coaches initiated a weight training program for the entire team. Throughout the summer the Cavs put forth an impressive effort in order to improve their strength and skills. This desire and commitment obviously paid off with a successful Cavalier season.

Showing way too much enthusiam, seventh grader Sarah Mead waits prepared and ready for action. She waits in eager anticipation for the beginning of the game to finally arrive. This years B-team softball has had a fantastic season. Eighth grader Sara Hill runs with mighty determination to score another run to help the softball team win yet another game. The B-team softball team had a fan- tastic 1994 season. In part due to the addition of four new seventh graders, the team played exceptionally well throughout the year. Compiling a rec- ord of 11-1, they accomplished the best record of all the teams they played. When asked her opinion of the season Coach Gray enthusiasti- cally responded, The team had a great season because everyone con- tributed and worked well together. When Kelly Wolfenbarger was asked her opinion on the season, she com- mented, We had a great season and we all had a blast! This year was a great year for everyone involved and they hope to repeat this impressive record next year. Sophomore Wendy Hatcher is bound and de- termined to make the hit that wins the game.

They returned with a strong team led by three seniors: Brandi Cook, Shannon Wagner, and Nichole Dixon. This years team was made up of talented athletes who be- came great friends along the way, which is what makes a winning team, said Nichole Dixon. The play- ers finished the regular season with a record of 20 wins and only 7 losses. Their region record was 5-1, so the girls moved on to the State Tourna- ment, where they lost two hard fought games to Windsor and Strat- ford, giving them a fourth place in the state. This early loss in the tourna- ment, however, did not reflect the Sophomore Marni Dodd exemplifies the win- ning Cavalier spirit that our softball team dis- played this year as she prepares to make yet another one of her outstanding catches.

Stratford Academy No Time Outs !!! The 1994-95 boys Varsity basket- ball team of Mount de Sales Academy was again tops this season. The team had an even distribution of all its vari- ous talents this year. There were no obviously outstanding stars. But that made no difference. This fact just forced the team to work harder, and work harder is exactly what they did. Their practices lasted two to three hours sometimes, during which they found themselves pushing their limits to the outermost bounderies. This years team was not dominated by se- niors. Its key players ranged any- where from eighth grade to twelfth grade. This shows the potential that our team will have in many of the coming years.

Once there, our boys played an excel- lent hard fought game against their long-time rivals, the Stratford Eagles. Everyone is looking forward to the season next year because it is full of great hopes. But looking back on the past season leaves all of us with feel- ings of pride for the 1994-95 Varsity boys basketball team.

The Lady Cavaliers came very close to a repeat of the State Title again this year. The team again made it to the final found in Milledgeville. However, in the first round, they lost a terribly hard fought game to the Windsor Academy Knights.

Sports It was so close! Even though the MDS Varsity Baseball team was de- feated in the second round of state, they ended their season with an out- standing record of 16 wins and only 7 losses. With only four retiring seniors and two freshmen currently starting on the varsity team, hopes for the season to come are high. Under the leadership of Coaches Tony and Chester Pierce and Coach Greg Brooking, the baseball team prac- ticed countless hours to improve their skill and become the winning team that their fans saw on the field. Hours of batting practice, running, stretching, pop flies, and grounders In the midst of a spectacular double play, freshman third baseman Britton Lockhart pre- pares to throw the baseball to first base to end the game against the Stratford Eagles. Run, John-boy, Run! In the bottom of the ninth inning, Senior John Herndon makes a mad dash to third base in a desperate attempt to beat the pitcher's wild throw to the base. Sports began to pay off when our fantastic Cavalier team broke through the bar- rier and began a winning streak prov- ing that the Cavalier winning spirit, for which we are so well known just can't be stopped.

The 1994-95 golf team has been a learning experience for everyone in- volved. The team was a young one, consisting of only one junior, the rest consisting of freshman. They worked slowly and steadily to improve their scores, enabling them to better con- tend with the opposing teams. Most of the matches that they lost were lost by only a few strokes and they worked hard to improve over the sea- son.
