All things change.
Wherever we go, wherever
we are, we are confronted
with uncertainty and
change. What really
matters is how we change
and how we cope with the
changes around us. Each

some of us excitedly, some
less than excitedly, to see
many faces: some new

Living Is Easy

Here at MDS, students are continuously
reminded of all those Little Things That
Count;

1. The effect of gravity on your open
bookbag. Works especially well in the rain.
2. Always remember your locker
combination. Enough said.

3. Sleep is an essential part of MDS life.
4. Unless you really enjoy the Friday
dentention experience, belts are a must.
5. Speeding tickets are also an integral
part of teenage life. Watch for policeman.
6. Leaving P.E. clothes in your locker is a
definite NO. It attracts roaches and other
unmentionable things.

7. Out-of-dress-code days are a qift of God.

Remember to utilize them to their full
advantage.

8. Always remember the right book for
English class. There are only three. Or was
it four?

Thank goodness its Friday! Kim Sarabia

her step that only comes from knowing that

Let's Take a Break

What is your favorite class of the
day? To this all too common question
the majority of high school students
will immediately respond, Lunch!
When asked for reasons, the replies
are diversified. Having time to hang
out with friends, finish that forgotten
math homework that is due next
period and the English paper due after
that, and eating delicious cafeteria
food are just a few lunchtime activities.
This years seniors enjoy going to
favorite hangouts such as Sids and
Media Play. The freedom to venture
away from the campus into the big
wide world during free period is also a
great part of being a senior. But while
the underclassmen are waiting to
receive their off campus privileges,
they can still enjoy the delights of

Swingin on Olympus

Greek Week at MDS was a fulfilling
time for all students and faculty who
participated. Beginning with Dress-Up
Day, the students prepared for the
excitement of Homecoming by coming
as Greek temples or Olympic athletes.
The Parents Picnic was a great success
as parents and students relaxed in the
warm October sun. The Greek games
were a new addition to the festivities
that gave the students a chance to
prove their skills at games such as Pin
the Flame on the Torch and Throw the
Javelin. Bonfire and skit night was
filled with growing enthusiasm and
anticipation for the coming football
game. The skits were modeled after
fairy tales such as Jack and the

Gifts From the Heart

During November students were
encouraged to bring food for needy
families, with a different item
requested for each day over a period
of a week. We came together to
worship and display our efforts. Each
student was asked to donate a dollar
and reflect on the true meaning of
Thanksgiving. As Christmas
approached, the student body focused
on the concept of giving. Students
picked various toys from a wish list to
bring for less fortunate children so that
they too could have a Merry
Christmas. These gifts were collected
so that they could be presented to
SERVE for distribution. The
Tomorrow's Leaders class sponsored a
breakfast to raise money for the
Dream of Fields and the Student
Council held a raffle for homework

Saturday Night Fever

What's a better way to start the new
school year off than with the
Back-to-School Bash? The
highschoolers gathered in the gym to
socialize and dance to their favorite
music played by AJ the DJ. This
get-together provided a great time to
settle down from the hectic start of the
new school year.

Everyone looks forward to
Homecoming. The team, the Court,
and the King and Queen all add to the
anticipation of the dance. Students
cheer on the players during the game,
and celebrate the deserved victory at

the stress of exams has passed, the

Other familiar games such as the

Honoring Our School

Catholic School's Week was based
on the theme Random Acts of
Kindness. After asking students to do
as many favors for others as
possible,these favors were posted
around the school for all to see. The
school got together on Tuesday fora
prayer service to share bread. During
the service, they learned the true
meaning of Bread in Our Life and
how our hands are God's hands. On
the day of Mount de Sales one
hundred twenty-fifth birthday,
students had St.Francis de Sales visit
and tell about his life, giving us an
understanding why the Sisters of
Mercy chose our schools name, Also,

traditionally by singing Happy

Prom is one of the most awaited
times of the year. According to
tradition, the underclassmen took on
the responsibility of putting it all
together. The Junior class is always
under pressure because the prom has
to be special, even close to perfect, as
a gift to the Seniors. First, the class

theme was Alice in Wonderland. The
next step in creating a great prom is
deciding how to set-up the
decorations. Supplies had to found,
food had to be arranged, music was
needed, and most importantly the
Juniors needed time and lots of it!
They worked hard up until the day of
Prom and with every minute the class
bonded more and more. Finally, it was
all completed. Everything was in its

Dimmed lights, romantic music,

special night in every seniors life,

Prom was Alice in Wonderland. Pink

exclamations of delight mingled in the
room as the seniors were announced

Let The Good Times Roll

Students always look forward to
Positive Attitudes Day. Sponsored by
the Student Council to raise money to
send new Student Council officers to
leadership camp, it is a day of fun,
games, and no classes. Students could
participate in many events throughout
the day. Some stuffed their faces in the
Pie Eating Contest while others
showed off their great leqs in the Best
Legs Contest. A popular game was
challenging other students in Bouncy
Boxing. Another favorite activity was
dunking a teacher at the dunking
booth. Also new this year, was the
Volleyball-a-Thon in which students
from different grades battled it out on
the court. Some great food was
available at the The Happy Saucer
Coffee Shop and the Sno Cone booth.

The struggles are always going to be there.
Relaying a strong message, Rudy Ruettiger

Music Rooms were a popular new
attraction. This year we had a special

watched his movie, Rudy. Then, the
entire student body went to the gym to

I'll Be There For You

Friends change and we with time but
not in the ways of friendship.
Anonymous
As the years go by, we grow older

and change not only in stature,
maturity and personality but also in
the company we keep. High school can
aid in the formation of friendships that
may last a lifetime. Talking on the
phone, laughing, sharing secrets,
supporting each other, friends are our
voices of reason and our biqgest fans.
At Mount de Sales, friendships flourish
and prove to be the best cure toa
gloomy day or a bad mood. Friends of
all different races, religions, genders,
social classes and walks of life can be
found just by peeking in classrooms or
down hallways. Whether we're six or
eighty-six, we need human interaction

We are definitely the best friends on this
block. Juniors Julie Sams and Cindy Dockrell
show their friendly affection for one another with
a tight squeeze and a big smile

Differences among people abound, yet they
do not divide the unity this class feels. Ev-

learned to respect these differences in each

We are not afraid to face each day with a tendency to

Our dreams that are before us we conquer one by one.
Dignity is our middle name and friendship our backbone.
Diverse as we are, as a whole we are invinceable.
Yesterday, we were distant but we learned to accept and
now we remember who we used to be.
Today, we cherish as we stand side by side and see that
together we have walked this far through life.
And tomorrow, we dream about, eagerly as better people,
wiser, and more mature.
The bond between us has grown stronger through the Laura Walters and Lindsay Gavin hug in the trapezoid in cele-

The Salesian, MDS fabu-
lous yearbook,reminds all of
the students what the past
year was like. It is also the
finished product of a whole
year of work by a host of stu-
dents ranging from grades
7 to 12. But the work isn't
easy, just ask any of the stu-
dents who work here. It is
the best 5 hours a day that |
spend. Any mistakes can be
expensive ones so the obvi-
Ous solution is not to make
any, and thats what we try
to do, ensuring that every
book is a memorable one
for all of MDS students.
Says Jamey Huser, one of
the Salesians editors.

Although the work-
load is sometimes
cumbersome, the re-
wards and experiences
that yearbook offers
are priceless.

The 1995-96 Mount de
Sales football program was
one of the top programs in
the GISA. The team was led
by many outstanding se-
niors, and had one of their
best seasons in twenty
years. During their reqular
season, they had a record of
8 and 1 which led them to
the playoffs. There, they
played a thrilling game
against undefeated Tattnall.
This victory over Tattnall
clenched the Region cham-
pionship and advanced
them to the next round of
the state playoffs. From

there, they conquered two
more teams in overwhelm-
ing victories. The pressure
was On at the semi-final
game against Westfield. The
team suffered a vey hard
fought and disappointing
loss. This 95-96 Cavalier
team was one of the best
and most memorable teams
in the history of MDS. Senior

over Tattnall to win the Re-

The 1996 Varsity Boys
Basketball team begqana
new era with many changes.
Last spring when Coach
Slocum decided to end his
basketball coaching career,
Coach Don Sherwood
stepped into the vacated po-
sition and must have felt the
pressure of keeping the win-
ning tradition alive. Yet the
former MDS track and b-
team basketball coach used
his experiences from St.An-
drews Academy and Wayne

County High School to know

the system and make the

transition as smooth as pos-
sible. The boys team was set
with tremendous obstacles.
They had two seniors and a
lot of players with little or no
experience. However, that
didnt stop them as they
played impressively against
teams that had taller and
more seasoned players. The
team beat three GISA pow-
erhouses; Monroe, George
Walton, and Athens Chris-
tian in our own gym to finish
with a winning record of
16-9.

Point Blank

The 1995-96 Mount de
Sales Lady Cavaliers basket-
ball team was a spectacular
one. This year the team was
led by four seniors who will
be greatly missed. They had
an incredible record of
twenty-three wins and five
losses. After winning a
heart-stopping region
championship game, the
Lady Cavaliers were ready to
take it all the way to state.
They made it to the quarter-
finals and lost a terribly hard
fought game to Curtis Bap-
tist. The team had four play-
ers that made All Region

Give me the ball! Junior Kristy
Willis calls for the ball as she man-
uevers around the defensive player

this year: Betsy Washburn
(10), Cladie Washburn (12),
Stacey Goodman (12), and
Melissa Alverson (12). Mel-
issa also earned All State
honors. Even though the
team will be losing four
valuable players we all be-
lieve that if they work as
hard next year as they did
this year, there is no doubt
they will bring home an-
other state banner for
Mount de Sales. Everyone is
extremely proud of our var-
sity girls basketball team
and their coaches, Mrs.
Hatcher and Miss Turner.

In The Field

This years baseball team
had many questions that
needed answering by the
end of the season. Who is
going to pitch and how
would the adjustment affect
the team? was the main
one asked during the pre-
season. The loss of 6 se-
niors, 3 of whom pitched
nearly 95% of the time, pre-
sented a challange for the
coaches Tony and Chester
Pierce.

By the first game, it was
evident that the team was
young, composed of only 5
upperclassmen. Although

the season had its ups and
downs, the team finished
with a 10-10 record, win-
ning their last 4 games and
went off to Augusta Chris-
tian to play for the quarter
finals. In a perfectly played
game, Mount de Sales lost
their hard fought battle by
only 5-4.

At the seasons end, the
coaches were very im-
pressed by the overall im-
provements of their rookies
yet saddened by the gradua-
tion of 3 seniors: Cody Hale,
Keith Hatcher, and Lance

This year students grew into

understanding brings. The
hardest part is handling the
responsibilites and present-
