oO we become and where our
lives take us are shaped by
who we are and what we do

during our teenage school days. Every
August brings a new path in the continu-
ing journey of our educations. We won-
der what will make this path memorable.
Will it be the big game we win or a
special friend we meet? Will this be the
year we remember our IDs? There are
countless opportunities offered to us
from August until May, and each is anew
door with the potential to change our
lives. Choosing to walk through, to ac-
cept the challenges offered impacts our
futures. And while that future may be a
mystery, we can be sure that the doors
high school opens for us will be the ones
to lead us to incredible destinations.

How could anyone anticipate the ex-

offs or the success of Hollywood home-
coming? As the year progressed, ev-
ery student journeyed on, filling their
minds with knowledge and their days
with new experiences. Between
classes, friendships, and extracurricu-

lar activities every students plate was
filled. Their already busy lives were
only enhanced by the many assem-
blies and activities planned by the ad-
ministration and the student council.
This fierce combination resulted in the
exploration of many new destinations.

ading, writing, and rithmetic-

these are the foundations upon

which our educations are

based, and yet, learning serves an

even greater purpose. Teachers and

the subjects in which they specialize

are the door-openers to our futures.

They are the ones who expand our

minds, teaching us not only facts and

dates but lifes lessons as well. From

that early morning calculus class to

that end of the day English discus-
sion, academics fill the days with
useful tidbits of information, prepar-
ing every student for the challenges
life holds. The spirit of academics
means opening not just our textbooks
but also the doors to our minds.

Who is the main character? Eighth
grader Patrick Faircloth answers
brain-teasing questions about a novel.
All middle school students were tested
on works of literature as required by
the Accelerated Reader program

How long is this story? Sophomores
Whitney Glover and Terence Heenan
take advantage of the opportunity to
quietly read a story in class. Such
opportunities meant less homework
and more social activities for that night.

g >Academics

What happened next? Eighth grader
Kathryn Young takes notes on a novel
in order to prepare for a test.
Notetaking was recommended to help
follow the plot and attain better un-
derstanding of what was being read.

The end of a long journey. Senior
Nick McClendon turns in his term paper
after weeks of strenuous work. Suct
assignments exemplified the school's
reputation for graduating students who
were well prepared for college

All of a sudden...Freshman Jeannine
Olivier reads a novel and is overcome
with suspense. English teachers em
phasized such aspects of literature
to help the students fully appreciate
the joys and pleasures of reading.

Let me explain. Sophomore En
glish teacher Mrs. Tate explains
a passage from the play Julius
Caesar. She always insisted that
her students support their opin
ions with evidence from the story.

| cant believe he said that! Freshman
Danielle Grinstead is shocked by a state-
ment made in English class. Such classes
allowed young imaginations to run free
and grabbed the attention of many by
providing memorable discussions.

Is this the right page? Freshman Erik
Hardison confirms the instructions for
a homework assignment by showing
his book for all to see. Teachers urged
students to be attentive during classes
as a means to excel academically.

nity to try new dishes as well as eat in class

The next question goes to Mr. Gore.
Seniors Georgia Ragonetti, Lanier
Sammons, and Jenny Paschke take on
the role of the Gore camp during a mock
presidential debate. The activity added
realism to the educational election.

Halt, who goes there? Senior Sean
Caulfield pretends he is a famous swords-
man during AP U.S. history class. The
small class of seven seniors enjoyed
themselves throughout the year while
learning a great deal about the subject

There stands Jackson like a stone-
wall. A group of middle schoolers stud-
ies a collection of dioramas from Civil
War battles. The project gave the stu-
dents the chance to show creativity as
well as their knowledge of the period.

Doors to

Social studies gives students the chance to learn about their histories.

The bulls and the bears. Seniors Sarah
Harrison and David Rumph concentrate
on what stocks to buy and sell. The Stock
Market Game gave the economics classes
the chance to invest 100,000 imaginary
dollars in companies they chose.

Top Reasons the MDS
election process is
better than the
national election:

1) Mr. Davis can come in

third place overall.

2) There is no such thing
as a butterfly ballot.

3) Results are announced
within a day of voting.
4) There is no endless,
annoying media cover-
age of the recounts.

5) A clear, defined win-
ner really means a clear,
defined winner.

6) No Electoral College

Sit down and be quiet. Coach
Smith raises his voice and points
his finger at students during
world history class. Coaching
skills often came in handy when
refereeing review games.

The high school Math Day
was a great opportunity for
students to expand their
math skills outside of the
classroom. The day started
with an individual test for
each student. That was not
considered fun, but after-
wards the day only got bet-
ter. During lunch, teams
worked on Math Munchies
which were problems de-
signed to have them work
as a group. Afterwards,
members of each team com-
peted with others of their
own level to earn points that
would decide the winner.

They are never going to get
this one. Mr. Lipson smiles as he
presents the next problem to Math
Day participants. He knew that this
would be the problem that would
stump the talented students.

When we think of science and
technology, we don't think of
people like Albert Einstein or Bill

is becoming more technologi-
cally oriented, and the school
refuses to be left behind. Like
most colleges, there is an ex-
tensive website describing the
school, email addresses for all
of the students, as well as a TV-
station to broadcast all over
campus. The Science Depart-
ment is also one of the best in
the area. Students learn biol
ogy, chemistry, and physics
from qualified and talented
teachers in the three labs that
are located around campus.

Twinkle, twinkle little star, how! won-

The aroma of freshly opened
paint and wet clay knocks you
off your feet as you enter art
class. Everyday, Mrs. Mead
helps mold future artists, teach-
ing techniques and encourag-
ing creativity. Throughout the
year, these aspiring artists are
given the opportunity to exhibit
their work on campus in the
Knott Library as well as in vari-
ous studios across the state.
Over the course of their classes,
students venture into a wide
variety of art forms, expanding
their artistic interests. Senior
photography student Justin
Schuchmann observes, Photog-
raphy is more than just a pho-
tography class, we explore com-
position and other art features.

It's either now or never! Sopho-
more Will Young encourages himself

do their work in class, it is reflected in
their semester grades.

Drama< 25

For the first time in two years, the
Mount de Sales Drama and Music
departments came together to put
on a spring musical. The produc-
tion was none other than the clas-
sic Rogers and Hammerstein's tale
of Cinderella. The story was
brought to life in only five weeks
thanks to the hard work and dedi-
cation of both the cast and the
crew. The show's cast was made
up of dozens of students from the
middle school to the 12th grade.
The long hours everyone put in
paid off in one of the most suc-
cessful plays in the school's his-
tory. Both the wonderful singing
and talented acting brought praise
from students families and friends.

Yearbook< 29,

When one passes by St. Joseph's
Hall, you walk by an important and
significant division of Mount de
Sales. The Middle School is not
only part of the entire school, but it
is also a school in itself. It has its
own principal, Sr. Geraldyne, and
its own guidance counselor, Mrs.
Dadisman. The Middle School also
participates in a variety of its own
events and activities. The Math
Club and Geography Bee allowed
the students to compete amongst
each other in academic compett
tions. A field trip to Historic Macon
showed students the rich heritage
of their city. Finally, Career Day
gave students the chance to see
what each others parents did as
well as learn what opportunities
were available for their careers.

Future Architects... This lively group of
eighth graders listens intently as their Hay
House tour guide describes the history
and architecture of the Hay House. This
gave the students a chance to learn how
such an impressive structure was built

Follow the leader... Three middle
school students venture out during
their lunch break while on their field
trip to historic downtown Macon. All
the students enjoyed a breath of fresh
air and a nice change of scenery

All the right moves

For years, Cavalier football has been one of the schools most popular and heavily
supported sports. In keeping with this proud tradition, this team displayed a great
amount of talent, which was enhanced by their hard work. Everything from hot summer
practices, agility exercises and gruelling hours of weightlifting with Coach Mack to
student support at the games and pep rallies prepared the Cavs for their opponents.
Not only did all 47 players put time and energy into football, but they also worked
extremely hard to maintain their school work, balancing their role as athletes with their
primary role as students. Led by eight seniors and head coach Robert Slocum, the
team finished with a hard fought record of six wins and six losses, leaving the doors
wide open for another terrific Cavalier season.

Heads or Tails? The seniors await
the coin toss, hoping to get first dibs
on the ball. The team will greatly miss
the leadership that they provided over
the years as Cavalier athletes.

Running for the blue and gold! Junior

Heading for Greatness

JV Boys Soccer, 41,

Icking down the doors

The boys varsity soccer team had a very memorable year. For the first time, the final
four was held at Cavalier Fields, and the promise of a successful season, including
a possible state championship run, was anticipated. The team had many things going
for them, including eight returning seniors. The Cavs played in the FPD, Tatnall, and
Smilen Island tournaments, placing third in all of them. For the third year in a row, they
took home the trophy as region champions. Going into the state tournament, the boys
were ranked number one, but were not predicted to get past the fired up FPD Vikings.
After defeating the Vikings with a score of 3-1, the Cavs looked towards the state game
versus the Westminister Wildcats. The team played a well fought game, but came up
short of state championship glory. All and all, the season was a great one and helped

restore de Sales soccer legacy.

Stand back everyone, I'm going to
score. Junior Jonathan Koetter parts a
sea of defense as he dribbles down the
field. Good footwork is key to a strong
and successful season.

One more touch and... Senior Dan
Castresana takes one final touch in
preparing for a shot. Dans speed com-
bined with his deadly shot effectively

This one's not getting past me! Se-

Swinging Into Victory ~

The Varsity Girls Softball team played a well fought season. Coach Chester
Pierce knew this team would live up to expectations. They finished the season with
a record of 16 wins and 13 losses. The girls experienced many ups and downs, but
all in all, the girls showed great intensity in every game. The girls made it to the state
tournament and fell just shy of qualifying for the final four, placing second in the region.
The girls learned great teamwork and dedication. The team, consisting of two
freshmen, eight sophomores, five juniors, and one senior will lose only one player next
year, allowing them to build on everything they have learned. Hard work, motivation,
and the girls love of the game really made the season a great success.

What a sweet swing! Junior Jennifer

Leverett extends with perfect form as
she makes a solid connection for the
Cavs. She made this look so easy.

This one is going over the fence!

Got Spirit?

Varsity cheerleading, whata job! If students are under the impression that cheerleaders just show
up at the game with their pom-poms and megaphones and look peppy as they attempt to lead
the team to victory, then students need to know what actually takes place behind the scenes.

Varsity cheerleading is the only sportwhich passes through three athletic seasons. Cheerleaders
practice most days that there is not a game, beginning with many hours during the summer, and
they paint banners and locker signs for the players on game days. They practice stunts and
cheers until perfect for the game. Everything may look all smiley and peppy, butin actuality, things
are a great deal harder than they seem. These girls and guys know exactly what hard work is
and howto get things done while doing them well. Cheerleading is a fun sport, which takes major
commitment and a great deal of time to dedicate to practices, games, and other behind the
scenes activities which take place in order to lead the entire school in support of their teams.

Takin it to the House

The 2000-2001 basketball season proved to be one of the best years for Mount de Sales
basketball, with both varsity teams advancing to the Final Four. The boys season was one
filled with many heart stopping victories which led to their nickname the Cardiac Cavaliers
given to them by the Macon Telegraph. Led by Mount de Sales newcomers Travis Dotterer
and Jim Massey, the Cavaliers boasted a hard-fought 17-11 record. In the middle of the
season, the Cavaliers defeated rival Tattnall by thirty points to claim the Tattnall Holiday
Tournament Championship. In region play, the Cavs placed third and had one player make
the All-Tournament team. Other team honors included: three players making All-Region, two
All-Star players, and one player being named to the All-State team. The season was later
Capped off by two victories over Sherwood and Westminster to advance to the state Final
Four, ending in a close loss to Central Fellowship Christian Academy. The season, however,
was the beginning of a new basketball program. Even though the boys came up short on their
state championship goal, the season was still a memorable one with many exciting events.

Okay, this is it! The starters get ready
to be announced before a home game.
Every player on the team got outstand
ing support from the fans, whether they
played the whole game or not.

Running for Glory

The 2001 varsity track team had a stupendous season. MDS newcomer, Coach
Jim Massey, took on the role of leading the teams to victory. Joining him were
many new athletes who offered fine contributions of time and talents as well as
track veterans whose experience was invaluable. Coaches began recruiting
students early in the year. As as a result, many team members not only enjoyed
the opportunity for spring competition, but also welcomed the chance to cross-
train for other sports as well. These boys and girls worked extremely hard, some
beginning as early as February to prepare themselves for their opponents. Many
members of the team advanced to region and fourteen students, including four
seniors, even qualified for the state meet in Albany. With a work ethic like that, MDS
track will definitely continue to improve and challenge its competitors in the future.

Making A Splash

The 2000-2001 swim team had a season that was both exciting and challenging,
ending with a State Championship title for both the girls and boys teams. A few
obstacles were met before the title was won, such as inexperience and lack of
stamina. Swimmers, therefore, had to commit longer hours of training as a result
of these obstacles. Training and endurance building were the main goals of the
coaches who hoped to achieve a successful season. A combination of enthusiasm,
energy, and high scorers added up to give the team an outstanding season. The
girls enjoyed bringing home the State Championship trophy for the second year in
a row, while the boys team celebrated their third state victory. With these wins, the
team greatly improved its record to four out of a possible five state wins.

Diamonds in the Rough

The 2001 varsity baseball team was a young but talented squad that improved as the season
wore on. They lost four seniors from the previous years team and had three freshmen starters.
The biggest obstacle for the team was trying to find consistent pitchers, since three pitchers
graduated the previous year. Overall, the team had seven new members join the varsity squad.
They seemed to gain an outstanding amount of insight, however, under the leadership of firstyear
head coach Marc Lipson. The team played better than their record indicated. They qualified for
state, but were knocked outin the first round of the playoffs by Southland Academy. The players
will greatly miss the three seniors who have dedicated a tremendous amount of time and hard
work to the baseball program. The team has a strong nucleus of young talent, however, along
with some veteran players who shouldmake them a force with which to be reckonedin the future.

Defense wins the game! Junior
Jonathan Koetter fields the ball to

Aay!...Soccer!

The Varsity Girls Soccer team had another exciting season. The year was filled with
both trials and triumphs. The girls began the season with the skeptical eye of the region
upon them. Their opponents knew that the Cavs had lost several seniors and incorrectly
considered them to be a second-rate team. The girls pulled together, however, to show
everyone how wrong their assumptions had been. Led by the experience of Coach Tam
Smith and a small group of only four seniors, the team produced one of the best years
ever. The high point of the season came when the girls defeated Stratford in a shoot-out
to end that school's six year winning streak. Just as he had promised the team, Coach
Smith shaved his beard to celebrate the historic victory. The year ended with the girls
dominating the playoffs and advancing to the final four. After defeating Heritage Academy
in the semifinals, they lost a hard fought 2-0 battle against Stratford in the final game.

doors to our futures, our friends are the
ones who hold the doors, who encour-
age us to walk through, who give us the
strength and support we need to make
the decisions regarding the rest of our
lives. The people that we pass everyday
in the halls or that we see at our lockers

Without the help of our classmates, the

Give thanks with a grateful heart. Sr. Rosina reminds
the student body that everyone should be thankful for
Mother McAuleys contributions. These contributions have
been a source of great pride and tradition for the school.

They're late, they're late, for a very important date.
Concentrating very hard, Mrs. Able checks the day's
tardies and absentees. Without the help of the secretar-
ies the attendance records would be nonexistent.

You are getting very sleepy. Eighth
grader Luke Mummert tries to stay at-
tentive, but is overtaken by sleepiness.
Students often tried to sneak a cat nap
during classes, but their actions hardly
ever went unnoticed by the teachers.

He got game. Eighth grader Jarrett
Cooper practices his dribbling skills
during gym class. Basketball was one of
many activities offered to nourish the
students physical development by build-
ing endurance, among other skills.

It's electric! These soulful middle school
girls flaunt their dancing skills at the first
middie school social of the year by
doing the electric slide. Socials were a
great time to dance, laugh, and have an
infinite amount of fun with friends.

Students, this is due before the end of
class. Eighth graders Christine Lopapa and
Nicole Moore dutifully work to finish an
assignment before the bell rings. Through
out the year, teachers constantly reminded
the students to use their time wisely

Lost in thought...Seventh grader Patrick
Slonaker daydreams about something very
appealing as his fellow classmates volunteer
to answer a seemingly easy question. Active
Participation during class discussions was
requested of the students by all teachers.

Leaders of the pack. This group of
seventh graders strides down St. Joseph's
Hall as they switch classes during the four
minutes given to do so. They had just
enough time to chat with each other while
they hurried off to their next destinations.

Solve the following equations. Eighth
grader Kathryn Young seeks help from
her calculator to answer a difficult ques-
tion during math class. Such devices
proved to be beneficial to most stu-
dents during such times of need.

Do I have any homework? Eighth grader
Jessica Wyche stops at her locker to re-
trieve the books she will need for this nights
homework. She enjoyed the luxury of a top
locker which was a privilege granted only to
eighth graders in the middle school.

Five minutes left, class. Seventh
grader Randy Treiber hurriedly tries
to complete a test before time runs
out. At such moments, the phrase,
There are not enough hours in the
day, seemed to be especially true.

Ladies choice. The belles of this
middle school social elegantly slow
dance with their beaus. Love and
friendship were definitely in the air
when classes had the opportunity to
come together at such events.

Ready, Set, Sing! These talented seventh
grade chorus members take a break from
entertaining the student body with their ma-
jestic renditions of Christmas carols. The
annual Christmas program heralded the ar-
rival of the Christmas season to the school.

Smile and the whole world smiles
with you. Katie Crumbley and Kayla
Watson uncontrollably giggle during
lunch as they share the humor of a joke.
They enjoyed one of the few opportuni-
ties given to eat lunch outside.

Let me try! Lee Discher and Mary
Katherine Stewart examine a project
with interest as they are partnered
together. Hard work was empha-
sized by the faculty, but the impor-
tance of fun was not overlooked.

Everybody make some noise! These
excited seventh graders enthusiastically
show their Cavalier spirit at the Home-
coming pep rally. Though this was their
very first Homecoming pep rally, they
seemed to know exactly what to do.

Lend a helping hand. Adrienne Garofalo
willingly helps fellow classmate Caroline
Cook as they work together during class
using a newly purchased -book com-
puter. Technology was a major aspect of
each student's academic life.

Finally, a break! This group of boys
sits in the Middle School hall as they
talk and enjoy each others company.
Even though they took a break from the
worries of the day, they knew there was
still much work to be accomplished.

Concentration is the key. Dauphin Childs,
Alison Lizek, and Vivi Brown are processing
their thoughts as they take a difficult test.
During such times, anxiety was not an un-
common feeling. At these moments, study-
ing seemed to have been a good idea.

How has your day been? With a solemn
expression, Ryan Glisson sits outside of
Mrs. Dadismans office as he, like most
students, waits for the day to end. The
student body was led through the year by
an understanding and patient faculty.

Eighth Grade< 85>

Friends that study together stay

and Rebekah Stiff help each other gain
a little more knowledge by working
together. It benefited them both in
making a better grade in their classes

Oh behave! The Sophomore Class
perfomed a stunning rendition of Aus-
tin Powers during the homecoming

Powers really brought in the laughs.

So when did this happen? Seventh

Hmmm, sounds good to me. Senior

It's a knee slapper! Sophomores
Jessica Robinson and John Wright

school day. Without laughter the
world would be a very dull place

Shhh... dont tell anybody. Seventh
grader Cassidi Flowers shares a Se-

erts. The female students often shared
their inner thoughts about everyday
life and about school with each other.

The Mad Hatter returns. Junior
Josh Chafin supports a love for fairy
tales by wearing a hat that resembles
the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonder-
land, He used the large hat to escape
the pressures of the day.

Peek-a-boo,/ see you. Junior Brian
McBrearty hides in a locker to avoid

just as good of a place to hide.

Pushin horns weren't easy like the movies

said it was.
You worked hot and tired and nasty, rode your
ponys head too low.
There were all the nights you couldnt sleep
cause it was too darned cold.
And you'd sing Strawberry Roan and

Little Joe.

So when you see that cowboy hes not ragged
by his choice.
Hes just chasin what he really loves and
whats burning in his soul.
Wishin to God hed been born a hundred
years ago.
Still singin Strawberry Roan and Little Joe.

We love you John!

Goals are dreams and wishes
that are not easily reached
You have to work hard to obtain them
never knowing when or where
you will reach your goal
But keep trying!
Do not give up hope
And most of all
Never stop believing in yourself
For within you
there is someone
special
Someone wonderful and successful
No matter what you achieve
As long as you want it
And it makes you happy
You are a success

: | 7 7h the impact of attitude on life. Attitude,
Congratulations ay to me, is more important than facts. It
is more important than the past, than

on all your many education, than money, than circum-

stances, than failures, than suc-

high school | cesses, than what other people think

or say or do. It is more important than

achievements! appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will

make or break a company... a
church... a home. The remarkable
thing is we have a choice every day

This is just the . regarding the attitude we will embrace

for that day. We cannot change the
inevitable. The only thing we can do is

beginning! play on the one string we have, and

that is our attitude... | am convinced

and 90% how | react to it. And so it is

Keep your great Dad & Shirley with you... ito a of our
