Although this year
in sports was
highlighted by the

since joining the
GISA, every team
worked to bring
pride and honor
to MDS. Through
the good times
and the bad,
Mount de Sales
athletes worked
and played hard.
Friendships were
made, lessons
were learned and
everyone had a
memorable time.

REWARDING RECORD
The varsity softball
team had an incredible
season.The girls de-
feated numerous
tough opponents and
the hard work provided
for many victories.
During hard times, the
team united under the
leadership of four de-
termined coaches. The
team took region title
with a score of 3-2.

PRACTICE PAYS OFF
Cooperation and
numerous practices
were probably the two
most rewarding as-
pects for the team.
Without teamwork,
winning region would
have been impossible.
Practice was often tire-
some, almost everyday
from 3-4:30, but the
girls always put forth
their best effort.

SOARING TO STATE
In addition to the Re-
gion title the lady Cavs
added another great

accomplishment to
their list,second place

Practice Makes Perfect
The football season
begins long before
school starts with
weight training and
summer camp.Al-
though theyd rather
be sleeping, the Cavs
were busy sacrificing
their bodies for one
cause;Victory.Practice
lasted from 3:30 until 6
every day, rain or
shine, hot or cold.

Coaching While the
players were home on
Saturday mornings re-
covering from the bat-
tle the night before, six
men went to work.
They worked long,hard
hours evaluating their
teams strategies and
studying other teams
plays.The concern and
commitment of the
coaches insured a
spectacular season.

Season Rewards Fi-
nally the time had
come to show every-
one the true Cavalier
spirit. The state cham-
pionship game was
played against Tatt-

PRACTICE PAYS OFF
The soccer team
works hard day after
day in order to prepare
for their numerous
games. The field is
never quiet after
school during the sea-
son. These young men
are always striving to
perfect their game,
whether they are doing
drills or thinking up
Strategies.

COACHES CONTRIBU-
TIONS The players
were very appreciative
of their new coaching
staff. The coaches
were laid back but still
motivated us to work
harder, one player
mentioned. With
twenty players, the
coaches had a tough
job, but contributions
from everyone defi-
nitely helped.

FAN FARE The most
important element of
any game is the skilled

players. The second
most important part is
the enthusiastic fans
which Mount de Sales

has in abundant
amounts. The soccer
team travels all over
Georgia playing
matches; along with
them travels the Cava-
lier spirit.

* Senior Varney Hayes is tangling
up his opponents physically and
mentally. He depends on his speed
and his vast knowledge of the sport
to outplay the opposing team.

Senior Michael Spisso demon-
strates some fancy footwork in or-

ing the warm-up session against
First Presbyterian. Warm-ups are
essential to the players for main-
taining their best performances.

Its a breeze for sophomore Matt
Graycheck to dribble the ball to
place himself in an ideal position to

essary soccer skill.

Its just like taking candy from

and starting forward, effortlessly

fending Stratford players.

Practicing This year
the effort put in by the
girls basketball team
was overwhelm-
ing.They praticed every
day from around 4:15
to 5:45 and in that
time practiced numer-
ous drills and ran
many sprints. We are
proud of our Lady Cav-
aliers and thank them
for exhibiting the true
Cavalier Spirit.

The Team This year
the team was led by
four very experienced
seniors.As the season
went on they all grew
closer.The girls spent
every day together and
had many bonding ex-
periences. For a team
to be successful it
must stick together
both in and out of
practice. This team
was a sisterhood.

Coaching Coach
Hatcher,the head
coach, was a positive
influence for the girls
all year long.Three
other assistant
coaches also aided in
conditioning and prac-
tices to help pull the
team through. Al-
though the Cavs did
not bring home a
championship their tri-
umph lies in their re-
lentless spirit.

They always put in
110% effort and, from
December to March,

boys surpassed all ex-
pectations this season.
They battled oppo-

emerged victori-
ous.Their accomplish-
ments allowed them to
go all the way to the
state semi-finals, and
with the many talents
on the basketball
team, we saw big re-
Sults.

Coaching The play-
ers alone are not re-
sponsible for the re-
wards of the team.They
attribute much of their
success to the quid-
ance they receive every
day from their coach-
es.Coach Sherwood

also offer much en-
couragement and sup-
port.

PRACTICE MAKES
PERFECT! This year
the varsity boys really
pumped it up on the
baseball diamond! Not
only was practice very
strenuous but the up-
coming competition
was also tough. Prac-
ticing at Morgan Field,
the Cavaliers cracked,
hit, and slid their way
through an impressive
season.

THE DRIVING FORCE
Chester Pierce was the
varsity boys baseball
coach this season. He
did a great job getting
them ready and push-
ing them along
throughout the sea-
son. In good times and
in the worst times, he
was always there, be-
ing the constant, force-
ful leader that he really
is.

SEASON SWEEP! The
boys had a very im-
pressive season this
year. They made it all
the way to the region
tournament and won
second place, finally
advancing to the State
Semi-Finals. With this
record and a lot of
hard work on their
side, MDS should be
proud of another show
of Cavalier class.

PRACTICE PAYS OFF
It began in the frigid
winds of winter. Soon
after Christmas Break,
the holiday celebration
was Over and condi-
tioning began for the
soccer team. The train-
ing consisted mostly of
long distance run-
ning,numerous
sprints,and weights. It
was tough and put our
girls into shape.

REWARDIND RECORD
All of the strenuous
workouts proved to be
rewarding when the
Lady Cavs set a new
school record. This
year we had more wins
than ever and tied our
previous shut-out rec-
ord. Every game was a
battle to win but also to
improve. The road to
the state champion-
ship showed this.

COACHES CONTRIBU-
TIONS Behind the
scenes of the success-
ful season(GISA State
Runner-Up), were three
important people.
Coaches Smith, Filush,
and Chiostergi kept
the spirits of the play-
ers high, entertained
and drove on many
road trips, and most
importantly quided the
girls through it all.

"Flex, point, flex, point, KICK!

a special place is
diversity. Attend-

Mount de Sales are

people from nearly

every walk of life
imaginable--each
with different
backgrounds,
different interests,
and different
beliefs. There is a
place for everyone
at MDS; anyone,
be it a scholar or

an athlete, an artist
or a writer, can
find his or her
niche at Mount de
Sales. With
diversity usually
comes conflict.
However, every-
one is respected at
MDS. Although no

the Mount de Sales

come pretty close.

With the memories
of walking into
Burke Hall to buy
books on the first
day of high school
still fresh in the
minds of many a
senior, it is hard to
believe that this
year has finally
come. All of the
hopes and goals
that we set to be
accomplished
before graduating
must be met.

Decisions that will

effect the rest of
our lives are
made. When the
year begins to
draw to a close
and people begin
to choose future
destinations, the
first tears start to
fall. After spend-
ing four years
with the same
faces day after
day, it becomes
unthinkable to be

without them. The
reality of it all does
not set in until the
last few days
which are packed
full from a final
senior retreat to
graduation itself.
One thing is
certain: the memo-
ries and friend-
ships made within
this class are
unforgettable and
will be treasured
forever .

on the negative effect that alco-

they held a red ribbon day where

Young Leaders

I think the Middle School
Student Council has worked
really hard to make this a
great year, says Emily Des-
sem. The Student Council is
moderated by Mrs. Dadis-
man and consists of sixteen
members who meet once a
week before school and at
every activity period. Topics
of discussion range from
ideas such as fundraising
and middle school socials
not to mention Christmas
projects and encouraging
parent groups to meet. The
Council gets yet another
group of young students
ready to lead.

extracurricular activities. The clubs
at Mount de Sales serve their school

benefit when they see how their
hard work enriches the lives of
many others. Mount de Sales clubs
require determined, caring, and
hardworking individuals. Those stu-

our school. All students enjoy shar-
ing their time helping and working
with the community.

Student Life ~

Fresh out of the summer
sun, and back into the
daily routine of learning.
This is what all students
have been anticipating ...
the first day of school. For
some, school at Mount de
Sales may be a new expe-
rience. Incoming stu-
dents have a chance at
making new friends,
adapting to a more ma-
ture learning environ-
ment, and getting used to
new teachers. For many,
returning to Mount de
Sales gives a sense of
comfort. Students have a

education in a beautiful
environment. What could
be better than a good ed-
ucation? Nothing, not
even Chicken Day! Stu-
dents have a lot of work
ahead in the upcoming
year, but with a good atti-

tude everyone's goals can

chance for a wonderful

Sopho- Wipe your mouth, shes gota

dies enjoy the chance to relax, and
prepare for the rest of the school

and smile at how close they have
become over the past summer.

new learning opportuni-
ties and new expecta-
tions. The beginning of
the year means different
things to different people
but to everyone itis a
time of renewal and start-

those long summer days
and a return to home-
work and normalcy.

What is Black History?
It is not only a three
minute report on the
morning news, soulful
music or a rousing rec-
itation. These compo-
nents are all part of the
black experience but
black history is much
more. It is about deter-
mination, the past and
future of African-Amer-
ican people but also
about the history of
this nation. The stu-
dents at MDS contrib-
uted in the best way
possible from the
heart. DaVonne Bivins

Homecoming

It's probably the most
hectic week in the first
quarter but also the most
exciting. The theme of
this years Homecoming
Week was Monster Mash.
The Student Council was
in charge of all the week's
festivities. You could help
build a monster, design a
banner, dress up as your
favorite ghoul, wear a tat-
too, or buy something re-
ally scary at the Monster
Shop. The Homecoming
Court was introduced by
the Senior boys skit. Skit
Night was a highlight of
the week. Each class pre-

the audience. The pre-
sentations were followed
by a bonfire where each
class showed their class
pride. Horrifying goblins
seemed to lurk around
campus and spread the
monster madness.

Homecoming is the first
opportunity for the whole
school to come together
and celebrate being back
in school. Each of the
classes bond together in
the competitions. Each
grade is given points for
class participation in each
activity and for winning
certain competitions. The
Seniors won this year as
they do most years. But
each grade comes closer
to each other while work-
ing on their skit, design-
ing their banners, dress-
ing up as the scariest
monster, trying to get ev-
eryone to wear their color
coded tee-shirts, and buy
their tattooes. We enjoy

the break from school
work and we appreciated
the fun atmosphere of
homecoming. The foot-
ball game on Friday night
was the culmination of a
week full of fun and cele-
bration. The football
team played wonderfully
and won the game easily.
It was a great end to a

The lives of actors(and

Presentations

In honor of Black His-

badors performed the
one act play,A Woman
Called Truth. The play,
Starring junior Monica
McMillan, chronicles
the life of Sojourner
Truth, an ex-slave who
fights for the freedom
of her child, her free-
dom and equal rights
for blacks and women.
Though the play was
separate from the
other Black History
events, it expressed
the same idea with
amazing clarity
through the interpreta-
tions of the cast. The
cast consisted of only
six members who had

various parts to play.
No matter what, the
Troubadors give a
great performance and
the audience leaves
with a smile and an in-
explicable feeling. The
actor's life is one of
long practices and
emotion but in the
end, the product is awe
inspiring.

The Fun Is Upon Us!!
Whether you are a
spectator or a partici-
pant, like seventh
grader Steven Stone,
Fun Night is just that
FUN. From the spa-
ghetti dinner, prepared
by Mrs. Dermatas to
the very last event, the
night is a wonderful
one. Each event holds
its own unique charm.
For the athletes in each
class, there is the Tug
of War, a grueling bat-
tle of strength. The
Dress-a-Boy/Dress-a-
Girl relay is always a
great way to get in
touch with the mascu-
line or feminine side of

your personality. The
over and under Egg re-
lay is fun for those who
are not athletically
gifted. Last but not
least, there is the Bust
a Balloon game, a test
of lung capacity. At the
end of the night, when
everyone is partied
out, the memories re-
main.

Waiting for the curtain
to open can be excruci-

the spring musi-

nervous jitters back-
stage while Mr. Free-
man introduced the
play. When the curtain
opened, and the music
started, the cast tried
their best to take the
audience to a beautiful
far away island.
Through singing and
dancing, they showed
the people a world of
different social classes,
and a forbidden love
affair. The quick dress
changes and stage en-

trances were just part
of performing. Team
work became an es-
sential part of acting,
as was the case of Kelly
Dessart and John
Cassidy. Finally, when
all was finished, and
the cast took their final
bows,a great sense of
pride and satisfaction
showed on their faces.

Some creativity and
lots of patience were
bound together by the
Juniors for this years
Prom coordination. A
core group of Juniors
showed up almost ev-
ery Sunday to put the
Prom together. Cutting
and pasting, brain-
storming and painting,
students spent hours
on end trying to make
the evening perfect for
the Seniors. One of the
most time consuming
jobs was the sun which
at its completion was
at least nine feet
across! Britton Lock-
hart takes a break from
hanging the hu-

mongous sun to pose
for the camera. From
the first meeting on
the day of the Prom,
the goal was to create
a beautiful evening
which everyone would
remember and cherish
the rest of their lives.
Whether the goal was
met or not is left up to
the individual.

and Forever

Nothing is quite like the
friendships you make
during high school, and
nothing can replace the
experiences and laughter
you share with good
friends. Amigoes, amis,
compadres, copains, pals
whatever you want to call
them, there is no word
that really expresses how
you feel about your clos-
est friends. The times, ex-
periences, laughter,
closeness, and love you
share with classmates will
always be precious to
you. They cheer you up
when you're feeling
down, give you free ad-
vice whenever you need it

and sometimes when you
don't. Friends, like Shell
Kurzen and David Grin-
stead, will always be
there for each other. Life
seems much easier and
days go by much more
quickly when you share a
smile or good joke with a
special friend.

Conclusions

As the year draws to a
close, the atmosphere
is filled with emotions.
While everyone is ex-
cited to have three
months of freedom,
there is a sadness lin-
gering in the halls. The
end of the year means
saying good-bye to our
nine month home
whose walls harbor so
many memories.
Tears, victories and
many smiles have
been shared through-
out the years on these
grounds, on our fields
and behind these
walls. We say good-bye
to the seniors and to
the loves lost and

found during the year.
Stephanie Shelby typi-
fies the emotion felt by
many seniors. As we
say farewell to so
much, we also wel-
come the challenges
the new year will bring.
Good-bye 96'-97

Dont Look Back

As you travel through life there are always those times when decisions just have to be made...
...When the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce...
..and the rain seems to soak your parade!

There are some situations where all you can do is to simply let go and move on...
... gather courage together and choose a direction that carries you toward a new dawn.

So pack up your troubles and take a step forward - the process of change can be tough...
...but think about all the excitement ahead if you can be stalwart enough!

There could be adventures you never imagined just waiting around the next bend...
_..and wishes and dreams just about to come true in ways you cant yet comprehend!

Perhaps you'll find friendships that spring from new interests as you challenge your status quo...
_..and learn there are so many options in life, and so many ways you can grow!

Perhaps you'll go places you never expected and see things that you've never seen...
...or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds and wonderful spots in between!

Perhaps you'll find warmth and affection and caring - a somebody special whos there...
...to help you stay centered and listen with interest to stories and feelings you share.

Perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing your friends are supportive of all that you do...
_..and believe that whatever decisions you make, they'll be the right choices for you!

So keep putting one foot in front of the other...
..and taking your life day by day.

Theres a brighter tomorrow thats just down the road.
Dont look back - youre not going that way!

Have a wonderful life Cory!

Much love,
Mom and Dad

For the Good Times

Along with the end of
every school year comes
many mixed emotions.
rhe prevailing feeling is
always one of relief that
the long hours of studying
for tests and writing term
papers are over--at least
for the time being. A
nostalgic sentiment is felt
by students when looking
upon all of the good times
of the past year and a
feeling of regret is held for
what might have been.

I can! Whitney
Wimberley reads her
selection during the

Some people are filled
with anticipation for what
the summer will bring
while others are filled
with sorrow because they,
or some of their close
friends, will not be
returning to Mount de
Sales. Seniors bring their
high school years to a
close while eighth graders
prepare to embark upon
it. The emotions, mistakes
and successes are now all
a part of our past.

Nostalgia Prevails

Although most people
dont like to admit that
they like going to school,
the summer months make
many people aware of
how special Mount de
Sales is. Not only do we
receive an outstanding
academic education, but
we learn life lessons as
well. All of the rules and
regulations that some-
times seem so confining
are actually here for a
reason. Here we learn
how to deal with authority

Come on now, you
can do better than
that! Misti Mosley

and how to choose what is
really important to us. We
learn how to work with
others and how to form
lasting friendships. MDS
is more than just a school--
it is a caring family. Just
as there are problems in
any family, we are not the
exception, but no place
can be perfect. Enjoy your
time at MDS. You just
may find your days at
Mount de Sales are some
of the most precious times
of your life.
