In trying to make the right first impression, we often failed. It is good to know, however, that all students at one point go through these similar ‘freshman’ anxieties and fears of the unknown. That famous cliche ‘‘These are the best times of our lives” is really true. In high school, true growth and maturity can take place in a safe atmosphere ... Perhaps you didn’t get that special date to the dance, but wasn’t it exciting anticipating the answer? Perhaps algebra was above you and English was too deep, but in the end you grew and gradually you learned. Perhaps the prospect of making friends was frightening, but as you became more mature, you overcame your fears and developed meaningful friendships. This collection of photos represents the best times of our lives. Under the protective wing of the Marian Community we matured and learned .. . the good things we waited for having been achieved. The high school experience is a testing ground, a place to get a taste of life. Maybe in the beginning you didn’t make the best of what you had, but afterall .. . “It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish!’ THEME 3 New Stidout Changes are a part of life. Sometimes the changes can be more difficult to cope with. However, changes can be new and exciting learning experiences. Transferring into a school as an upper classman can be a trauma or an interesting and productive experience. As an upperclassman entering a school for the first time, you have to make new friends, leam new schedules that are “old hat’’ to others, try to appear nonchalant when you might be inwardly worried about being accepted by other students, and in general, learn new attitudes to replace old ones. Though these new challenges could be monumental at any other school, they become unimportant at Marian High School. Why, you ask, are they unimportant? Amberly Hershberger, a returnee student to Marian explains it simply by stating: “‘Because I had been here as a Freshman, | was so excited to be able to come back. You always hear what a ‘family’ atmosphere Marian has, but you never really appreciate it until you don’t have it anymore. I think that’s the most wonderful thing about Marian, the feeling of family.’ It doesn’t take long for a transfer student to forget that they have come in late to a particular class, for making friends is easy to do at Marian.

However, students are not the only ones to meet new and surprising experiences. New teachers can share these same feelings as the students. The major difference between the students and the teachers is years of experience and professional training. Marian High School's three new teachers for the 1991-1992 scholastic year are: Ms. Dawn Heater (Music), Father Andre Levéillé, CSC (Theology), and Sister Grace Dubin, SSJ-TOSF (Chemistry, Yearbook). Ms. Dawn Heater was bom and raised in Granger, Indiana and she attended Northern Illinois University in Dekalb. A very busy Ms. Heater is the music teacher at both Marian and St. Joseph High Schools, which makes for interesting jaunts from one school to another. School spirit and the unique schedule changes at Marian are considered by Ms. Heater to be the special traits of Marian High School. Ms. Heater hopes to gain more band members in the future through a feeder program from elementary schools in the area. Father André Levéillé’s background and experiences are as colorful as the stories he ‘loves to tell. Father André was bom in French Canada and was educated in Colorado. He received a Bachelor’s Degree from St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas; one Master’s Degree in counseling and a second Master’s Degree in Theology from the University of Notre Dame. All of this was followed by a year at Berkeley studying storytelling. Father’s most recent teaching assignments have been on the college level and he is currently a rector of a hall at Notre Dame besides acting as chaplain of the Notre Dame Alumni Association. ; “Community’’, “healthy students”, and ‘‘friendly’’ are the words Father Andre chose to describe the students at Marian. Father’s hope is to help students know about their Catholic faith and have an active and healthy spirituality. His hobby of photography came in handy on Father André’s trips to Africa, Europe, and Asia. An avid move-goer and storyteller seem to go hand in hand as Marian’s own “Pat O’Brien” adds a wealth of enthusiasm to the staff. The phrase ‘Join the Navy and see the world” has been replaced in the life of Sister aay _Grace Dubin, SSJ-TOSF by “Join the convent and see the world”, as Sister Grace’s _ assignments have taken her to many places. Bom and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Sister Grace was educated by the Sisters of St. penionic TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS Joseph, TOSF in Garfield Heights, Ohio followed by a Bachelor’s Degree in chemistry at ec Ursuline College, Cleveland with additional Master’s Degrees in High School Adminis- yt tration/Supervision, John Carroll University, and religious education at St. John’s ~~ ak tn ¥ @ mi com Cm Oe _ College, Cleveland.

Her teaching experiences have taken her to Meridan, CT, Greenwood, MS, Harper Woods, MI, and Cleveland, OH. In | addition to teaching, Sister Grace has served in administrative/financial positions for her own religious community. Sister Grace considers herself very fortunate in having traveled to Europe with vari- ous school groups. The theatre, music, watching football/basketball, reading, and travel have added a dimension of joy, challenge, and personal growth for Sister Grace. | Since Marian High School is synonomous with “enthusiasm” for Sister Grace, she hopes to share her own enthusiasm for life with her students. Thus, Sister Grace is a _ true asset to the Marian teaching staff. NEW TEACHERS 5 As Lewis and Clark broke new ground, so did our new class of 1995! From cutting back the underbrush of confusing schedules and locker combinations to braving the dangers of the cafete- ria, our freshmen en- dured! This very social class came through shin- ing! Kevin Brendel tries to tell the class to smile for the camera, while he nonchalantly | shows off his new Literature book. Mike Billisitz and Mike Selesky try to figure out where they're supposed to “Hey, I’ve got this freshman stuff mastered!”’ go next. 3s;o 7nVO-4 Susan Wruble and Shawna Janski, while on Shaun Thiis tlethwaitite e iis s terrteirfriiefdi ed at what he sees on hiis plate s their; way to class, stop to smilF e for the camera. 6 OPENING
