A Year in the Life

June 1996-June 1997

Above: For the first time since the 1993 Gulf War, the American military took action against Iraq and

its leader Saddam Hussein. Iraq sent its troops into the Kurdish enclave in northern Iraq and

in

retaliation,

the United States launched air attacks against Hussein's southern air defenses. Hussein has abused his

people since the ruling Baath party assumed power nearly 30 years ago. And since the end of he Gulf

War he has continued

to

assassinate his political enemies.

Right: Boris Yeltsin was re-elected

President of Ru ssia and pledged to

continue the reforms he began five

years ago. However, the 65-year-old

president began immediately to show

the signs of severe heart problems.

It

was announced that he had at least two

heart attacks in the pa

st

two years and

open-heart surgery, considered the only

solution

to

his life-threatening disease,

was performed. He recovered from the

surgery and quickly returned to his

duties

as

President.

2 Year-In-Review

Right: Peace in the Middle East remained unstable as the school year began. A crisis

erupted after Israel opened a new exit

to

a tunnel alongside a plateau, raising suspicions

among Muslims

th

at

th

e Israelis were seeking

to

change the delicate religious balance of

Jerusalem's Old City. The incident proved

to

be the breaking point n mounting Palestinian

frustrations with the lack of movement in carrying out peace accords.

Demonsraons

followed in which nearly 100 people were killed. Then emergency meetings were arranged

by President Clinton in Washington between Benjamin Netanyahu and Yasir Arafat.

Right: Olympic gold Medalist Michael

Johnson has what track coaches call

speed endurance -

th

e ability

to

carry

top speed. He proved

he had endurance

plus. Johnson won an unprecedented

double win at the Summer Olympics in

Atlanta. He won the 200 and 400 meter

races. Johnson's performance was

equaled by many other athletes from the

United States at the Games, including

the women's gymnastic team, which

clinched a gold medal with a vault by

Kerri Strug, who performed with a bad

ankle. The Olympics were not without

tragedy, though,

as

a deadly pipe bomb

exploded in Centennial Olympic Park,

injuring more than 100 people .

Left: Months after TWA Flight 800 exploded midair in th

of 1996, investigators were still searching for a cause. T

747 jumbo et plunged into the Atlantic Ocean just off th

Long Island, minutes after taking off from Kennedy A

Paris. All 230 people on board were killed. The crash see

off

a series of n-flight disasters, including a number

of

oth

and mid-air hostage situations.

Prom

were not Seniors, Prom was a special evening for everyone.

The Senior Prom was held at the Bethesda Hyatt on May 16, 1997. The theme of the evening,

Unchained Melody, by the Righteous Brothers was complemented by a song composed by

Azal Kahn. Azal's song, which he played on the hotel' s grand piano had been written espe-

cially for the evening. In addition, there was a DJ, who played songs that the Senior class

had requested in the weeks before the dance.

The Senior Prom was a moment the entire class had anticipated since the beginning of

April, an evening that would signal the beginning

of

their graduation process, but also would

signify their entrance into adulthood. Donning tuxedos and formal dresses, the class prepared

themselves for what was supposed to be the most exciting evening

of

their high school lives.

Commented one Senior, '' I was sad to see it end, it was a really fun evening.'' Those thoughts

were shared by everyone who attended the dance.

As the Class of 1997 processed into

the gym, wearing royal blue caps and gowns,

there was a senseof anticipation and finality. It

seemed as if, with the recognition

of

the past

four years condensed into two hours,

an

the Class remembered

the past four years, and congratulated

themselves on a job well done.

24 Varsity Football

The Falcons had

a

wonderful season in 1996, winning

their last 8 games in a row and the

Dallas

Shirley

Bowl at

Byrd

Stadium. Their 10 wins were the

most ever and their league record

wa

s 7-1 which was the best in the

WCAC. Things started slowly as

they traveled 300 miles to play a

Virginia State semi-finali st in

Pulaski County. The practice at

Virginia Tech was a treat, but

Pulaski taught them that they still

had a long way to go o be a strong

team. A week ater hey traveled to

Fairmont Heights where a strong

came a hard

of

the big, fast

JohnCarroll Lions. At 2and 2 they

met the undefeated McNamara

Mu s tangs. The ir

go-ahead

tou chdown was erased by a

penalty and they were unable to

repeat their 1995 upse

t.

They

certainly had not realized that they

wouldnot oseagain. Their streak

began with a

home

win

over

Bishop Ireton and a road win at

'

c. t:

Pallotti. They traveled to

St

John's on Sunday afternoon,

went ahead 14-0, added two

Chris Kark

field goals and hung

on for an exciting win. Their first

game against Dematha in five

years was at GC the next week.

They had not beaten the Stags

since 1970 Encouraged by

Coaches

Todd Dickerson

and

Carlos

Smith whoremembered

their 1968 tie that shocked

Dematha, the Falcons upset the

undefeated and top-ranked

Stags Two challenges remained

in the regular season. They

struggled early but eventually

beat Paul VI. Then on a cold and

wet Saturday night in Arlington,

the Falcons, led by

Gaskins

and

Bost, fought back in the fourth

quarter to defeat a determined

O'Connell team. Theirsemi-final

game was a rematch with Paul VI.

Tony Ceballos'84 yard kick-off

return sparked a decisive win.

At Byrd

the season with a terrifically,

motto,"Have fun " Next year the team will

be

at a loss in losing so many skilled players and

Boys J.V. Baseball

Success isn' t always defined by who won the most games or who had the most hits. This year's J.V. Baseball team discovered this as

their successful season came to a close. They may not have won all

of

their games, but they learned to play as a team, and worked on

improving their individual skills. Led by Coach Pat Messett, and captains Kevin Messett, Matt Sahadi, and Rob Robinson, these

fourteen sophomores and three freshmen grew as a team. No matter what position they were playing, or whether they were keeping

the spirits high

in

the dug-out, these young men learned the true meaning

of

success.

These guys give new meaning to the words '

'being

on

the

mound."

Whether or not they won, the team

still managed to have lots of fun.

Here comes the baseball team from its victory.

For

the

J.

V.

team, it was all about teamwork.

The team hangs out by the fence after the game.

This year's frshman baseball team was a year

for future Varsity and JV players. All the boys becam

rienced with high school ball, and learned how to le

build as a team. Brian Chap commented, ' 'We got st

kind

slow, but now we're doing pretty well." Th

by

Burger and Crimm was forced

They came together nicely though, especially at the en

season, as a I 0-0 victory over O'Connell was a highlig

Senior and Junior Softbal

The Junior and Senior Softball teams, led by

Mr. Burns

(Seniors) and

Mr. Ostrowski

(Juniors), had another successful season.

Beginning

in

April, both teams practiced

hard

and played a tough season, crammed into one

month. The eaguewas led,for the fourth year,

by the Seniors (Good Counsel A) , who won the

season with an undefeated record of 8-0. The

Juniors had a few losses to the Seniors and

to

Gonzaga A, which they overcame to do well n

the tournament at the end

of

the season. The

Seniors, who began the season with a four year

winning streak, had two tournament losses to

This year the sophomore class entered school with a new spirit. No longer the newcomers not knowing what to

expect from high school, they began their year with confiden

ce

and pride in their class. Throughout the year, their

sense of community grew, as could be seen in their tremendous showing during Spirit Week and at Pep Rallies.

They experienced a year

of

growth; academically and athletically, as they strived to achieve their very best, as well

as spiritually, as they experienced their first away from school retreat.

Jennifer O'Neill poses with the Falcon. Both showed a great deal of school spirit this year.
