dotte^e  School  . 

A  he  educational  tradition  which  guides  St.  Michael's 

College  School  may  be  traced  to  the  attempts  of  the  early 
church  to  understand  the  the  mysteries  of  creation.  The 
order  of  the  world  illustrated  that  it  was  a  creature  of  rea- 
son. To  describe  and  appreciate  that  reason  was  the  task 
undertaken  by  the  scholars  of  the  early  church.  The  conclu- 
sions they  reached  were  preserved  and  passed  on  through 
monastic  universities  and  schools. 

Scholars  recognize  that  many  of  our  modem  sciences  ,  Philosophy. 
Biology.  Chemistry,  Physics  and  Theology  trace  their  origins  to  the 
scholastic  efforts  of  the  monasteries.

Father  Thomas 
Mohan  C.S.B., 
Principal  of  our  school 

Modern  Catholic  Education  is  the  result  of  those  beginnings  .  The  questions  asked  by  the  church 
concerning  the  physical,  the  spiritual,  and  the  relatonship  of  Faith  to  human  life,  are  still  pertinent. 
Those  early  scientists  achieved  a  degree  of  objectivity.  They  were  conscious  that  their  intellects 
were  to  be  used  in  coming  to  know.  They  probed  the,mysteries  of  Astronomy  and  the  order  of 
nature.  What  they  observed  and  what  they  believed  through  Faith  and  Revelation  were  put  under 
scholarly  scrutiny.  Even  Theology  was  described  as  "Faith  seeking  understanding".  Not  that  they 
believed  any  less  through  Faith  but  to  understand,  to  use  the  human  intellect,  to  discover  the 
relative  nature  of  creation,  was  the  aim  of  their  scholarship. 

Father  Wilfred  Dwyer  was  a  Basilian  philosopher,  who  introduced  us  to  Philosophy.  He  never  t  ired 
of  defining  Cathollic  Education: 

Not  to  know  the  relative  disposition  of  things  is  the  state  of  a  slave  or  a 
child  but  to  have  mapped  the  universe,  to  have  illustrated  the  relationship  of  Math- 
ematics, Literature,  Science  ,  Art ,  Theology  and  Letters  was  the  boast  or  at  least 
the  aim  of  Catholic  Education. 

Over  the  centuries  believing  and  faithful  scholars  have  first  believed  and  then 
attempted  to  understand. 


Modern  Catholic  Education  has  deep  respect  for  the  intellect  and  the  human 

ability  "  to  come  to  know". 

We  have  asked  you  to  believe  Scripture,  the  teaching  Church  and  the  presence  of 

Jesus  in  this  community  at  St.  Michael's  . 

To  leave  yourself  open  to  the  evidence  offered  by  the  intellect,  aand  to  give  assent 

to  the  truth  as  revealed  in  the  Faith  is  an  intellectual  stance  supported  by  the 

scholarly  lives  of  our  ancestors  and  the  culture  which  they  have  left  us.

PREFECTS  OF  ST.  MICHAEL'S 


VER  THE  YEARS,  ST.  MICHAELS  COL- 
LEGE SCHOOL   HAS  TAKEN  ON  A  PERSONALITY  OF 
ITS  OWN.  THIS  HAS  BEEN  FORMED  BY  THE  COMBINA- 
TION OF  ATTITUDES  AND  ASPIRATIONS  OF  THE  ADMIN- 
ISTRATION .  STAFF  AND  STUDENT  BODY. 

ST.  MICHAEL'S  IS  A  FAITH  COMMUNITY  WHICH 
WHILE  ENDEAVOURING  TO  PERFECT  ITSELF  IN  DISCI- 
PLINE AND  KNOWLEDGE  REALIZES  THAT  ABOVE  ALL 
GOODNESS  MUST  BE  THE  BASIS  OF  OUR  GOD-LOVING 
RELATIONSHIPS  WITH  EACH  OTHER. 
THE  PREFECTS  ARE  CHOSEN  FROM  AMONG  THE 
STUDENT  BODY  AS  THOSE  WHO  TRY  IN  THEIR  OWN 
WAY  TO  EXEMPLIFY  THE  IDEALS  OF  A  ST.  MICHAEL'S

Entering  the  21  st.  Century  -  A  new  St.Michael's 
-  Father  Mohan's  Dream 


\^^^^      Cement  for  the  foundation 
ere's  where  the  new  building  goes 


^atkei  ^Zkomas   /Hokan  C '■S-'B-  ^btopket  of  the  jf-utute 


When  Father  Mohan  came  to  St.Michael's  as  the  Principal .  the  school  was  in  a  state  of  change  with  a  very  uncertain  future 
regarding  its  physical  dsimensions.  With  an  acuity  verging  on  genius  Father  Mohan  set  in  motion  a  plan  that  would  not  only 
restore  property  that  was  lost  to  the  school  by  misguided  financial  dealings  but  would  also  provide  a  basis  for  future 
development  of  the  school  not  only  in  its  physical  plant  but  also  in  academic  and  spiritual  dimensions. 

Drawing  on  his  vast  experience  in  building  schools. Father  Mohan  in    1995  instituted  a  Building  Fund  headed  by  Mr 
Michael  Duffy  as  the  first  step  in  achieving  a  school  worthy  of  entering  this  millenium.  The  Building  Fund  would  marshal  a 
mighty  force  of  graduates,  and  corporate  donors  to  assure  that  St.  Michael's  would  have  sufficient  funds  to  become  a  much 
better  school  and  a  greater  force  in  the  local  community  and  enhance  its  reputation  as  the  premier  Catholic  school  in  Canada. 

By  the  sheer  force  of  his  personality  and  apostolic  exuberance  Father  Mohan  gathered  about  him  a  coterie  of  educational, 
spiritual  and  financial  experts  to  consult  with  and  walk  hand  in  hand  w  ith  him  into  the  new  St.  Mikes. 

Those  who  have  had  the  privilege  of  working  with  Father  Tom  Mohan  have  felt  the  dedication  and  intensity  of  his  devotion 
to  Catholic  education.  Not  only  as  a  theorist  and  philosopher  of  CatholicVlucation.  Father  Tom  also  excels  in  the 
application  of  the  daily  curriculum  in  the  life  of  the  student.  He  has  put  St.  Michael'ls  not  only  in  the  forefront  of  Catholic 
education  in  Canada  but  has  also  made  St  Michael's  the  envy  and  paragon  of  local  schools.

Representative  government  is  designed  to  allow  those  with  a  vested  interest  in  an  organization  to  provide  a 
mandate  to  which  the  government  is  held  accountable.  It  is  the  hope  of  the  constituency  that  the  fulfillment  of  this 
mandate  will  increase  the  individual  and  overall  good  of  society. 

Although  founded  on  these  same  principles,  the  St.  Michael's  Student  Government  derives  its  power  and 
mandate  from  the  administration  and  the  student  body.  In  fulfilling  its  mandate,  the  Government  seeks  to  uphold 
the  principles  upon  which  the  school  was  founded  and  contribute  to  its  growing  success.  The  successes  of  this  past 
year  wil  1  hopefully  inspire  future  governments  to  continue  on.  forever  improving,  shedding  stagnation,  and  press- 
ing on  to  achieve  a  higher  ideal  of  education. 

Always  keenly  aware  of  what  the  students  want,  the  Student  Government  sponsored  the  first  dance  in  our 
new  gym  -  the  Blue  Bonanza,  attended  by  a  hysterical  group  of  dance  mad  teens.  The  Blue  Page,  overseen  by 
Lawrence  Lam  and  Andrew  McConnon.  keeps  St.  Mike's  students  aware  of  the  many  events  that  took  place  in  and 
around  the  school.  This  year's  student  government  also  organized  grub  days  and  food  drives  to  benefit  the  needy. 
Collections  held  during  the  student-teacher  showdowns  in  the  Raider  Dome  and  the  Shiver  Dome  helped  to  fi- 
nance the  Building  Fund  and  the  Cross  Country  team,  who  participated  in  the  Junior  World  Games  in  Morrocco 
last  March.

This  play  is  a  social  com- 
mentary on  present  teen- 
age society.  The  drama 
begins  by  showing  that  in 
many  large  urban  communi- 
ties teen-agers  often 
congregate  in  gangs. 
It  is  a  story  of  the  haves  and 
the  have-nots,  characterized 
by  "The  Greasers"  and 
"The  Socs". 
In  the  resulting  armed 
conflict  one  of  the  gang 
members  is  mortally 
stabbed  and  the  frustrations 
and  senselessness  on  both 
sides  is  vividly  portrayed.

A  Tribute  From  a  Former  Student 


One  of  St. Michael's  favourite  priests  died  this  past  February 
with  a  great  loss  to  the  school  1  ^Athet  hilttlwn'  l7,u,,,ulsi 

community,  large  and  small, 
Father  Matthew  Mulcahy. 

Father  Mulcahy  had  a  fabulous  career  as  a 
priest  and  as  an  educator.  As  a  priest  he 
confined  his  ministry  to  school  and  he 
taught  in  many  schools  and  was  an  able 
administrator  in  schools  throughout 
Ontario.  He  founded  two  Basilian  schools: 
St.  Charles'  in  Sudbury  and  St.Mary's  in 
Sault  Ste  Marie  and  was  the  first  Principal 
in  each. 

Every  student  who  had  contact  with 
Father  Mulcahy  somehow  knew  that  they 
mattered  to  this  priest  who  over  fifty-four 
years  of  priesthood  and  sixty  years  of  high 
school  teaching  was  wholly  devoted  to 
them. 

Father  Mulcahy  believed  in  athletics  as  a 
way  of  life  and  the  sports  he  chose  to 
support  most  were  such  as  curling,  tennis 
badminton,  archery,  golf  and  swimming 
Someone  noted  they  were  all  non-contact 
sports  but  more  than  this.  Father  believed 
that  boys  should  be  taught  sports  that 
would  be  with  them  through  life. 

Father's  favourite  subject  was  English 
and  he  fervently  believed  in  good  grammar 
and  writing  and  always  exhorted  his 
students  to  read  good  books.  Before  he  became 
a  priest  Father  worked  as  a  reporter  for 
sports  with  the  now  defunct  Toronto  Telegram, 
was  a  counsellor  at  YMCA  Camp  Ahmek 
in  Algonquin  Park  and  as  a  layman  taught 
school  in  South  Porcupine  before  joining 
the  Basilian  order. 

The  loss  of  Father  Mulcahy  to  our  school 
community  is  indeed  a  great  one  and  no 
one  could  ever  take  his  place.  Father  Matt 
has  a  unique  place  in  St. Michael's  history 
Father  Mulcahy  was  the  ideal  of  the  devoted 
priest,  always  enthusiastic  about  Jesus  and 
never  missing  a  chance  to  bring  God  before 
his  students. 


Dear  St.  Mike's. 

I  was  saddened  to  hear  from  my  parents  that  Father  Mulcahy 
passed  away  and  I  felt  I  must  add  my  voice  to  the  innumerable 
tributes  that  will  likely  pour  in  for  him. 

To  a  rambunctious  14  year  old  boy  in  his  first  year  at  St. 
Michael's  in  1979.  Father  Mulcahy  was  a  figure  of  great  interest. 
His  (what  seemed)  ancient  age.  his  walks  in  the  snow  still  wearing 
sandals,  flat  cap  on  his  head,  the  mutterings  under  his  breath  and  a 
quick  wit  made  him  a  favourite  topic  of  discussion  among  all  of  us 
young  lads. 

But  oh!  could  he  make  English  come  alive!  His  mixture  of 
humour  and  enthusiasm  for  grammar  and  books,  which  he  must 
have  taught  to  hundreds  of  boys  before  us  and  hundreds  after.  ne\er 
seemed  to  diminish. 

Often,  when  reading  out  to  the  class  his  deep,  rumbling 
voice  would  rise  to  a  high  pitch  as  he  reached  full  flight  on  a 
passage.  I  can  also  remember  the  manufactured  look  of  injury  on  his 
long  face  when  he  called  on  you  for  an  answer  and  you  failed  to 
produce  the  hoped  for  intelligent  response. 

"Ohhh  Casciato."  he  would  moan  in  mock  intellectual 
agony,  clutching  his  head  and  turning  his  back  on  the  class  to 
scribble  at  the  blackboard  as  if  your  refusal  to  learn  was  dri\  ing  him 
to  climb  the  walls  in  madness. 

And  who  can  fail  to  remember  hearing  the  same  voice  and 
razor  sharp  witticisms  issuing  from  a  tiny  room  in  the  athletics  w ing 
of  the  school,  where 

Father  Mulcahy  prepared  all  the  equipment  for  the  hordes  of  \oung 
footballers  every  Autumn. 

Or  the  directive:  "Now  go  out  and  w  in"  from  the  seemingl) 
tireless  Father  Mulcahy  at  the  Sunday  masses  that  he  held  for  the 
gridiron  greats  of  the  day  before  ever)  weekend  game 

Could  it  have  been  Father  Mulcahy's  intercession  that 
helped  the  Kerr)  Blues  to  so  many  \  ictorious  seasons  as  he 
beavered  away  on  our  helmets  and  pads  in  the  backroom  and 
colluded  in  church  with  Saint  Michael  to  gi\e  us  heart  on  the 
playing  field? 

I  don't  know  that  much  about  divine  help  on  the  field  of 
play,  but  I  can  s,i\  that  Father  Mulcahy's  strong  opinions  on  the 
written  word  and  his  delight  in  teaching  pro\  ided  the  foundation  for 
ever)  stor)  which  issues  from  m)  fingers,  even  to  this  day.  And  tor 
that  I  am  most  greatful. 

Yours  sincerely,

have  a  place  in  my  heart.  Thanks  to  all  the  peo- 
ple who  helped  me  through:  JC-  for  your  friend- 
ship; MD  for  everything;  Mr.  Smyth  for  believ- 
ing in  me;  last  but  not  least  all  my  family  and 
friends  for  their  support.

It's  been  a  memorable  5  years  at  St.  Mikes.  Fist 
of  all.  I'd  like  to  thank  my  parents  for  sending  to 
such  a  great  school,  and  for  all  the  support  over 
the  years.  Memories  include:  Cross  country- 
Grade  11,  writing  every  contest  imaginable.  New 
Years  2000,  Logs  98,  Cancun  2000  and  Justin's 
\ideo  camera,  and  building  the  ramp  in  Physics. 
Special  thanks  go  out  to  The  Blue  Knight,  the  21- 
year-old,  and  my  super  graphing  calculator.  I'd 
like  to  thank  my  Math  teachers,  Mr.  Coglhan,  and 
Mr.  Shust.  for  all  the  hours  they  put  in  with  me, 
and  lets  not  forget  Mr.  Smyth  and  all  those  good- 
ies. By  the  way,  I  solved  the  'CALANDER'  prob- 
lem first.  Regrets  include:  Spending  way  too 
much  time  at  Harvies,  and  logs  98.  Finally.  I'd 
like  to  thank  Mr.  Pagano  for  ah  those  yellow  slips 
(they're  going  to  be  worth  something  one  day), 
and  teaching  me  the  fine  art  of  avoiding  people 
for  extended  periods  of  time.

After  5  years  of  hard  w  irk.  blood,  sweat,  and  hus- 
tling, I  have  come  to  the  realization  that  I  have 
merely  completed  the  prologue  to  the  life  that  lies 
ahead.  I  would  first  off  like  to  thank  God  making 
everything  possible,  for  blessing  me.  and  for  guid- 
ing me  through  the  thick  and  thin  of  my  life  thus 
far.  I  would  like  to  thank  my  parents  for  obvious 
reasons,  for  their  prayers,  and  for  their  support 
in  my  endeavors.  Thanks  also  to  Fr.  Mohan  and 
his  staff  for  the  education  that  they  have  pro- 
vided. I  look  back  upon  no  regrets.  The  hustle 
here  is  over  and  I  move  on  to  more  challenges. 
To  the  millennium  class,  KEEP  IT  MOVING 
It's  our  year,  our  world  for  the  taking.  Don't  let 
anybody  tell  you  different.  'Cuz  you 
know  what?  This  kid's  going  places...  Watch  him. 
Peace  and  God  Bless.

St.  Mike's  to  me  is  a  $30000  excuse  my  parents 
will  use  when  I'm  on  the  verge.  5  years  in  an  all 
male  environment  can  seriously  change  some- 
"lie  I  Hist  hope  I'm  strong  enough  to  remain 
normal.  I  can  finally  interact  with  females.  I'd  like 
to  thank  a  couple  of  members  of  the  faculty:  Mr. 
McCanns,  Mr.  Barry,  Mr.  Pagano.  and  Sr.  Frances 
I  because  I  actually  learn  in  her  class  unlike  grade 
10-12  English).  Word  up  to  the  crew:  Avery, 
Lankin,  Terry,  Pat,  Nick,  Kenny.  Chun,  T.A.  Law- 
rence IMtl  was  fun).  Thanks  to  my  parents,  God, 
and  everyone  else  who  made  a  positive  impact 
on  my  high  school  years.  Good  Luck,  Chris.  To 
all  St.  Mike's  men,  remember:  SMC  is  a  5  year 
delay  of  bitterness  and  cynicism  that  will  inevi- 
tably plague  you  for  the  rest  of  your  life.

It's  very  hard  to  narrow  in  on  the  best  times  of 
high  school  at  St.  Mike's.  The  trio  alwa\  s  gave 
me  something  to  laugh  about  at  lunch,  but  the 
laughter  wasn't  just  with  them.  To  all  the  U  >\  - 
with  blue  blood  that  respected  me,  the  respet  1 
was  returned  with  interest.  To  all  the  boys  with 
green  blood  (you  know  who  you  are)  I  cherished 
the  many  runs  we  had  that  helped  lift  the  frus- 
tration ol  school  life.  To  the  teachers  that 
treated  the  students  with  as  much  respect  as 
they  did  their  fellow  teachers,  thank  you  and 
lill  see  you  soon.  To  Mom  and  Pops  lor  placing

all  they  h  ave  done  for  me,  I  am  forever  grate-

What  started  oft  in  the  November  rain  led  to  an 
estranged  paradise  city.  Those  road  trips  were 
great  but  Mr.  Brownstone  was  always  out  to  get 
me,  by  the  way  your  crazy.  And  how  could  I  for- 
get the  garden,  dead  horse,  mixed  vegetables  and 
cashew  auts?  My  Michelle,  you  were  one  in  a 
million,  all  you  needed  was  a  little  patience.  As 
for  all  the  places  that  served  premium  pop 
I'llnever  forget,  it  made  the  night  train  that  much 
more  enjoyable.  "Look  aththe  doubt,  we've  wal-

So  many  memories,  so  little  space  to  write  in. 
First  off,  I  would  like  to  thank  all  my  teachers 
who  helped  me  along  the  way  and  gave  me  a 
kick  in  the  rear  when  I  needed  to  get  back  on 
track.  To  AA  community  (so  many  of  you),  you 
guys  were  always  there  when  I  needed  help  and 
a  good  laugh.  There  were  so  many  stories  taht  I 
will  be  leaving  school  with.  Good  luck  to  all  of 
you  and  make  sure  you  guys  stay  in  touch.  PS.

Well  St.  Mike's,  "you  threw  me  a  curve...  but  I 
caught  it!"  To  steal  one  from  Mr.  Chittie.  Fust 
and  foremost  I  would  like  to  thank  my  parents 
for  picking  up  the  tab  from  the  past  5  years  as 
well  as  two  inspirational  teachers:  Mr.  Fifield 
and  Mr.  Shannon.  Equally  important  to  my  5- 
year  career  at  St.  Mike's  includes  Baby  to  Sr. 
Blue  hockey,  grade  9  wrestling,  the  tennis 
teams,  and  my  continual  promise  to  James  to 
run  track.  Consequently,  it  couldn't  have  been 
done  without  the  entire  squad.  Between  mus- 
tard fights  and  the  BD's  the  farm  excursions 
were  unforgettable.  The  romanotionary, 
Cancun  2000.  Disney  movies  and  freezie  rides 
with  Dave,  lunchtime  arguments  with  Jambone, 
sporting  life  and  passing  plays  with  Just,  golf 
and  Waterloo  with  Limmer.  Mike  and  Matt  al- 
ways STOP  at  stop  signs-  three  musketeers  for- 
ever. Linds  what  can  I  say?

St.  Mike's  is  what  you  make  of  it.  It  sounds  cliche 
but  it  is  right  on  the  money.  I  once  questioned 
my  choice  to  attend  St.  Mike's.  This  was  when  I 
believed  that  St.  Mike's  was  just  a  yellow  brick 
school  with  a  long  tradition.  This  is  all  well  and 
good,  but  St.  Mike's  is  not  just  a  building  it  is  the 
people  that  make  it  up.  St.  Michael's  men  are  a 
rare  breed  and  are  often  not  fully  understood.  I 
have  made  freindships  that  will  last  a  lifetime;  I 
have  been  given  the  tools  to  build  a  solid  faith.  I 
went  to  st.  Mike's  the  building,  but  i  am  forever  a 
St.  Michael's  man.  St.  Michael...  Pray  for  us.

Being  (here)  is  an  accident,  and  its  'purpose'  is 
to  learn  the  most  from  nothingness.  Five  years 
of  solitude  have  taught  me  much,  though  least  of 
the  wisdom  comes  from  textbooks  and  classes.  I 
thank  many  for  that  wisdom,  though  few  has  con- 
sciously taught  me  so:  first  and  before  all.  "the 
Form"  of  education  and  teacher:  Sister  Frances; 
second,  maturity  and  immaturity:  certain  physi- 
cally developed  but  mentally  uncultivated  com- 
rades; third,  power  of  technology-  -  the  scantron 
machine:  the  history  department;  fourth,  "power 
of  the  pen"  :  Blue  Herald;  fifth,  quest  for  wisdom: 
the  few  politically  and  philosophically  conscious 
comrades;  sixth,  the  necessity  to  relax  with  tales: 
JFK  conspiracy  theories,  lectures  on  evolution 
and  Pascal...  last  and  most  importantlv.  the 
chapel  and  Fr.  Mario;  they  have  taught  me  all  that 
I  need  to  become  a  man.  Perchance,  we  shall  meet 
again...

Well...  it's  been  five  long  years  at  the  yellow  bricks 
and  I  am  glad  to  have  come  out  alive  and  kick- 
ing. I  want  to  give  a  special  thanks  to  all  my 
friends  who  have  stuck  with  me  throughout,  and 
have  made  my  time  more  enjoyable.  We  had 
some  memorable  moments  during  the  years. 
Some  memories  that  come  to  mind  are:  winter 
storm  '99.  chemical  spill  '99.  late  nights,  NYC, 
the  movies.  Edge  fest  '98,  Zombie  '98,  Hallow- 
een '99,  New  Years  2000,  and  last  but  not  least 
first  period  spare  with  Rosso.  Mudds,  Bill,  and

Great!  High  school  is  over.  WHAT  AM  1 
SUPPOSED  TO  DO  NOW^  Gee,  I  sure  hope  I 
got  into  university  or  else  lill  have  to  gel  a  job. 
In  a  few  years  (or  days),  I'll  forget  everything 
I've  learned  here  but  I'll  always  remember  my 
friends.  I'm  gonna  take  this  opportunity  not  to 
share  amusing  anecdotes  about  the  crazy' 
hijinks  that  have  taken  place  over  the  years  or 
to  gush  about  how  I'll  miss  theses  yellow 
bricks,  but  to  acknowledge  the  guys  who  shared 
these  5  y  ears  with  me.  Also  got  to  acknowledge 
my  partner  in  crime.  Max  -  its  go  time  buddy. 
BOOYAH!  Further  shoutouts  to  LawTence  the 
mack'  Lam,  OBM_Permboy,  Louis  "as  in  happy' 
Williams,  Oscar,  T.L.,  and  Bustos.  Good  Luck 
everyone,  its  been  fun.

The  significance  of  something  is  relative  to  the 
individual.  L'pon  walking  away  from  St.  Mike's, 
I  reflect  on  what  significance  I  have  found.  Math 
was  helpful,  sport--  were  tun,  the  te.uht-r*  wens 
supportive,  but  the  belief  that  the  winged  "M" 
linked  us  all  together  was  significant.  The  tradi- 
tion was  what  brought  me  to  St.  Mike's,  but  the 
love  and  brotherhood  that  I  found  is  what  com- 
pelled me  to  stay,  I  found  all  too  many  borhters 
here.  Both  in  loss  and  victory  we  triumphed  be- 
cause we  were  united  in  start  and  in  finish.  Thank 
you  to  the  teachers  who  have  talked  to  me  rather 
than  at  me.  and  im  f.imik  who  have  tnsp 
and  taught  me  what  sacrifice  is  Most  of  all.  thank 
you  to  my  brother--  whohavi  been  down  the  road 
with  me  in  good  and  bad.  and  when  thed 
dow  i)  and  the  tide  is  out,  will  be  there  again,  with- 
out quesl

First  of  all,  I  would  like  to  thank  my  parents 
and  my  teachers  for  making  my  five  years  at 
SMC  a  lot  easier.  It  has  been  a  different  ride 
the  last  five  years.  (I  can't  say  i  enjoyed  it  all) 
but  there  are  many  events  and  people  that  have 
shaped  it.  W2K  in  Mtl,  Mr.  Nicholson's  grade 
twelve  English,  and  almost  putting  Safety  Man 
(MSG)  on  the  d.l.  permanently  in  grade  10  base- 
ball pool  (aka  shop).  Finally,  to  everybody, 
thanx  for  the  memories. 


I  consider  myself  blessed  and  privileged  to  have 
had  the  opportunity  to  attend  St.  Mike's.  My 
Stay  has  been  enjoyable,  and  the  pleasant 
memories  I  have  attained  are  numerous.  Great 
thanks  must  be  given  to  the  teachers  and 
priests,  and  especially  to  my  lo\ing  family.  My 
friends  are  among  the  best,  and  the  fun  times 
are  unmatched...  Good  Luck  to  all  the  St.  Mike's 
boys.

After  5  years  ,  at  last,  the  longjourne>  through 
these  halls  have  come  to  a  close.  From  ISU  all- 
nighters,  to  exams,  to  pressure-playoff  baseball. 
SMC  has  challenged  me  academically,  athleti- 
cally, and  spiritually.  I  like  to  thank  my  teach- 
ers and  parents  for  supporting  and  pushing  me 
to  my  capable  potential.  As  1  leave,  I  bring  along 
memories:  .Ir.  Baseball  \2,  Sr.  Baseball  X3 
(TDCAA  Champs,  Metro  Invtnl  Champs,  To- 
ledo, Rochester),  Smyth's  tricky  problems. 
Tessaro's  chem  class.  Rib's  chem  videos,  Mon- 
treal W2K.  math  contests,  cafe.  AP  [Annoying 
Problems)  Calculus,  collecting  Lee's  notes  off 
Kipling,  Lotto  club,  "97  "gS  'go,  baseball  pools, 
etc.  As  we  head  into  the  new  millennium,  I'm 
proud  and  honoured  to  count  myself  among 
you.  Class  of2K.  "Teach  me  Goodness,  Disci- 
pline, and  Knowledge"  Goodness  and  Knowl- 
edge ...  well  2  out  of  3  ain't  bad.  Good  Luck!!! 


Matthew  Cipolla 

My  time  within  these  yellow  bricks  has  come  to 
an  end.  But  it  won't  be  the  classes  or  teachers 
that  I'll  miss  most  but  the  good  times  and 
friendships  that  these  5  years  have  brought. ..all 
the  nights  at  the  clubs,  Sr.  B  hockey  (TDCAA 
Champs  \2).  Wasaga  Weekends  (night  of 
"Ralph"),  and  'Pulco  2000  (all  about  the  mu- 
sic, liters.  Etc.).  To  Chicks,  JB.  Del,  GT,  DS,  MC. 
TL,  DC,  JPN,  MS  and  everyone  I  missed,  thanx 
for  everything.  And  a  special  thanks  to  my 
Mom,  Dad  and  sister  for  their  constant  love  and 
support. 


Anthony  Ciccolini 

Well  guys,  five  long  years  are  finally  over. 
They've  been  tough  and  sometimes  seemed 
impossible,  but  I  couldn't  have  imagined  my- 
self spending  my  high  school  years  anywhere 
else.  First  and  foremost  I  would  like  to  thank 
my  parents  for  all  the  sacrifices  they've  made 
for  me  so  that  I  could  come  to  this  school. 
Words  can't  express  how  grateful  I  am  to  them 
for  that.  I  would  also  like  to  thank  the  teachers, 
staff  and  Basilians  at  St.  Michael's  for  teaching 
me  the  true  meaning  of  "Goodness,  Discipline. 
&  Knowledge."  Most  importantly  however.  I 
would  like  to  thank  all  my  boys  (you  guys  know 
who  you  are)  for  making  this  place  so  memora- 
ble. Thanks  to  everyone  for  the  millions  of 
laughs,  good  times,  and  memories  we've  shared 
over  the  last  5  years.  Double  Blue  forever!

5  years  have  passed  and  I  now  see  things  in  life 
a  lot  clearer  .because  I've  grown  about  a  foot 
since  I  entered  SMC  in  1994.  I  would  like  to 
thank  my  parents  for  all  their  support  and  en- 
couragement, as  well  as  Mr.  Quinn  with  his  help 
with  the  Green  Council  and  Society  for  Justice. 
I  would  also  like  to  thank  Mr.  Barry  for  making 
history  so  interesting,  Mr.  John  for  getting  me 
through  3  years  of  math,  and  a  year  of  physics,

good  times  we  have  had  a  St  Mike's

St.  Mike's  has  meant  a  lot  to  me  in  the  last  five 
years.  1  will  always  remember  the  friends,  the 

teachers,  the  coaches,  the  good  times  and  the 
tough  tunes.  From  the  Metro  Bowl  Champion 
ship,  to  the  team  that  should  have  repeated,  il 
has  all  been  part  of  the  battle.  Special  thanks  to 
my  family  for  their  patience  and  support.

my  money,  1  will  miss  ha\ing  to  shave  on  a  regu-

It  was  a  rough  ride  and  I  wouldn't  have  made  it 
without  the  buds.  I'll  never  forget  the  memories 
guys:  Lunch  time  calcio,  the  wasaga  long-week- 
ends with  "Ralph".  Acapulco  2000,  and  all  the 
others  I  forgot  Special  thanks  to  fellow  busdriver

Well,  it's  over.  It  took  five  years  and  38  o  turses 

but  my  years  here,  at  St-  Mike's,  have  ended. 
There  have  been  some  good  times  over  the  years 
and  a  lot  of  sleepless  nights.  The  years  flew  by . 
even  though  the  days  felt  long  and  now  it's  time 
for  us  to  leave.  I  would  like  to  thank  my  teachers 
for  giving  me  a  qualty  education  and  my  parents 
for  paving  for  it.  We  now  have  at  least  four  years 
of  CJnh  ersity  to  look  forward  to  and  wherever  we 
end  up  come  September  our  years  here  are  sure 
to  help  get  us  through  the  long  days  and  sleep- 
less  Dights  to  come.  Good  luck! 


Michael  Di  Rienzo 

And  so  the  time  has  come.  In  hindsight,  things 
seem  so  clear  in  my  mind.  I  would  like  to  thank 
my  parents  for  gi\ing  me  the  opportunity  to  at- 
tend SMCS,  and  all  my  teachers  for  showing  me 
the  light.  Thanks  to  my  track  and  X-C  coaches 
for  their  time  devoted.  Moments  I  won't  soon 
forget:  TDCAA  X-C  '99  (it  was  finally  conquered), 
Mansfield  '99,  trips  to  Mc  Quaid.  It's  been  fun, 
but  now  it's  over...  and  so  I  wish  you  all  the  best 
in  the  future.

I  am  greatful  to  have  learned  the  meaning  of 
our  motto  and  the  way  to  live  it  out,  the  rewards 
of  justice  and  the  joy  of  mercy,  the  bonds  of 
friendship  and  the  therapeutic  quality  of  laugh- 
ter, what  makes  a  good  man  and  how  to  treat  a 
woman  well,  the  courage  to  face  death  and  the 
prudence  to  live  for  eternity.  THanks  to  II 
Cugino  Michael  and  "2many  nicknames"  Mark; 
your  consistency  kept  me  going.  35CS  later. 
Mom,  Dad,  everything  I  am  is  thanks  to  you.

Connor  Donaldson 

Next  year  as  I  move  forward  into  life  the  great 
memories  that  will  stay  with  me  are  of  the  mo- 
ments that  caused  me  to  develop  the  "blue  blood 
and  yellow  bones."  The  respect,  power,  honour, 
history,  strength,  focus  and  determination  one 
acquires  in  pulling  on  a  jersey  bearing  the  feared 
M  and  double  blue.  The  heartfelt  declaration  of 
our  brotherhood  in  the  huddle  by  a  simple  SMC. 
The  opportunity  to  "leave  an  impression'"  in  a 
tradition  of  greatness  as  I  walk  up  the  ramp  to 
tin-  ice.  With  the  help  of  its  teachers,  values,  goals 
and  family  atmosphere,  St.  Mike's  has  changed 
me  and  made  me  a  better  person.  I  am  eternally 
grateful  for  this  opportunity  and  for  the  friend- 
ships that  I  have  formed.  Much  love  goes  to  you 
mv  brothers  and  take  care  in  the  future.

I  can't  believe  that  five  years  have  passed  since  I 
first  entered  into  the  yellow  hallways  with  awe. 
I'd  first  like  to  thank  the  Lord  for  his  guidance, 
my  friends  for  their  support,  and  my  family  for 
their  love.  There  are  too  many  people  and  events 
to  list,  but  I'll  give  it  a  shot  -  dual-Zinger  classes 
in  grade  10  with  TJ.  bronze  medal  ping-pong 
competing  with  NR,  Scopa's  caf  table,  throwing 
caddies  in  the  brisk  tournament  with  JW.  phi* 
losophizing  with  Mr.  McCann,  the  "PATH"' 
project,  MA  and  the  FAC.  "RW  "99">  GO 

trains  with  ML.  3  years  of  Grassi,  getting 
euchered  at  lunch,  the  intramural  reach  crew 
(booya!).  lazy  spares  with  RC.  and  the  campaign 
trail  of  JW  and  LLO  To  all  of  my  friends  in  lower 
grades,  I  tell  you  these  have  been  the  best  years 
of  my  life.  Make  the  most  of  them  foryourselves! 
Finally,  to  my  graduating  brothers  -  I  wish  you 
all  the  best  in  the  future  and  I  know  we'll  meet 
again.  Cheers!

Hard  to  believe  the  high  school  segment  of  my  life 
is  over.  It  seems  like  yesterday  1  walked  into  this 
hallowed  institution  as  a  scrawny,  short  niner  over- 
whelmed bj  the  row  upon  row  of  yellow  bricks.  This 
school  has  allowed  me  to  prow,  not  just  physicall) . 
but  spiritually  and  mentalh  I  would  like  to  thank 
tlu  Basilian  Fathers  and  the  life  sacrifices  the)  have 
made  to  ensure  students  a  great  high  school  expe- 
rience, to  all  the  great  teachers  who  pushed  and 
motivated  me  to  get  the  best  out  of  my  abilities,  to 
Mr.  Zownir  i just  throw  strikes]  for  his  encourage- 
ment on  the  diamond,  to  the  baseball  Blues  for  our 
trips  especially  to  theSkydome(and  so  close  to  the

(sorry  about  OFSAA! ),  to  my  mom  and  dad  fi  ir  with- 
out their  support  (and  wallets)  1  would  never  have

It  has  been  said  that  all  good  things  must  come 
to  an  end.  This  particular  end  marks  the  finale  of 
my  career  here  at  SMC.  which  proved  not  only  to 
be  good  but  perhaps  one  of  the  greatest  experi- 
ences one  could  ever  ask  for.  1  am  grateful  not 
only  for  the  goodness,  discipline  and  knowledge 
that  St.  Mike's  has  given  me  over  the  last  five 
years ,  but  all  of  the  experiences,  life  lessons  and 
friendships  it  has  brought  me  as  well.  OT  my 
parents,  whose  love  and  encouragement  helped 
me  through  the  bad  times  and  who  were  always 
there  to  celebrate  the  good  times,  thank  you  for 
loving  and  sacrificing  for  me,  I  only  hope  I  can 
one  day  show  my  gratitude.  To  my  true  friends, 
thank  you  for  the  countless  memories  and  good 
times.  To  Chiarcossi.  what  can  I  say?  We've  been 
through  it  all,  and  till  death  do  us  part.  ...  and 
boys  -  cherish  all  your  memories  from  the  yellow 
bricks. 


Michael  Gesualdi 

Huh.  what  shall  I  say?  Only  that  gratitude 
should  be  shown  toward  my  teachers  and 
friends  for  all  their  support  and  wisdom,  not  to 
mention  "I  miei  genitori"  who  took  the  thirty 
thousand  plus  tab  for  me.  These  years  were 
among  the  best  and  will  be  remembered  always, 
from  nervously  presenting  my  PowerPoint  pres- 
en  tations  in  the  classroom  to  fighting  for  a  park- 
ing spot  for  the  "Teal -Mobile"  in  front  of  the 
arena.  May  the  good  times  continue  and  re- 
member a  penny  saved  is  a  penny,  buy  low  sell 
high  and  things  will  only  get  worse  before  they 
will  get  better.  Porsche  Turbo  &  Caddi  forever.. . 
Enjoy!

Well,  I  made  it  through  St. Mike's.  Now  that  I  look 
back  I  cant  believe  how  much  work  there  was 
and  I  wonder  how  I  ever  managed  to  do  it  all.  I 
owe  my  success  to  great  teachers  like  Mr. 
Narducci,  who  always  made  class  interesting  and 
sorry  for  all  the  food,  and  also  Mr.  Sheridan  and 
Mr.  Vitullo  who  spent  extra  time  helping  me  out. 
Thanks  to  my  Grandparents  who  gave  me  the 
opportunity  to  come  to  SMC  and  to  my  family 
who  were  always  there  for  me.  Thanks  to  Trina, 
my  friends  at  school  and  at  St.  Marys  for  mak- 
ing high  school  great.  I've  grown  up  and  learned 
a  lot  and  now  I'm  looking  forward  to  getting  some 
sleep  in  University.

As  m\  5  years  at  St.  Mike's  have  come  to  an  end.  I 
leave  this  hallowed  institution  truly  having  been 
taught  goodness,  discipline  and  knowledge.  There 
was  a  great  deal  of  hard  work  throughout  the  past  5 
years,  but  I  can  honestly  say  that  it  was  well  worth 
it.  I  also  leave  with  many  great  friendships  and 
memories  that  I  will  always  remember  and  treasure: 
5  years  playing  in  the  IHL,  dances  and  semis,  foot- 
ball games  and  cheering  with  the  superfans, 
snowboarding  with  the  boys  on  winter  activity  days, 
exam  cram  sessions,  all  the  bus  and  subway  rides, 
double  lunches,  spares,  and  the  endless  good  times 
that  went  on  within  the  yellow  bricks.  Thanks  to  my 
teachers,  friends  and  family  who  have  supported  me, 
and  to  St.  Michael's  and  the  Basilians  who  have  pre- 
pared me  for  the  rest  of  my  life  and  have  made  me 
who  I  am  todav. 


What  can  1  say  about  the  last  five  years  that  some- 
body else  hasn't  said?  Everyone  thanks  gthe  re- 
sponsible parties  for  their  help;  everyone  gives  a 
shout  out  to  their  budies  and  favourite  teachers. 
All  that  I  really  have  to  say  is  that  although  I  re- 
grettably didn't  live  my  years  at  St.  Mike's  to  the 
fullest,  I  had  a  great  time,  the  lessons  and  expe- 
riences learned  will  serve  me  well  in  the  future.  I 
wish  the  best  of  luck  to  all  my  fellow  students, 
and  promise  that  s  the  years  pass  my  memories 
of  St.  Mike's  will  never  fade  away.

within  the  last  5  years,  none  were  ever  found

amazing  and  if  i  could  go  back  in  time  i'd  do  it 
again— Too  Bad!Things  to  remember:  Golf  in

What  can  1  say?  My  two  formative  years  at  St 
Mikes  have  been...  Educational.  It  has  been  a 
slightly  painful  process  of  adjustment  from  the 
golden  Sydney  sun,  but  I  think  I'm  the  better  for 
it.  I  have  fortunately  tried  to  avail  myself  ol  the 
various  opportunities  that  this  college  offers, 
though  in  hindsight  I  see  so  much  more  that  I 
might  have  done.  1  am  grateful  to  all  the  teach- 
ers who  gracefully  bared  my  "Auzzie'ism's.  I  am 
even  more  grateful  to  those  students  I  now  call 
"friends".  You  have  all  made  this  a  time  in  my 
life  not  to  be  forgotten. 


Sean  Hazell 


Like  man)  things  done  this  year,  I  appropriately

memories  and  people  I  want  to  mention,  there's

Well,  just  4  years  in  here  and  they  are  already 
kicking  me  out.  First  of  all,  I  would  like  to  thank 
my  parents  for  the  dough  and  support  (in  no  par- 
ticular order).  Also  1  have  much  appreciation  for 
all  of  my  teachers:  Mr.  Pagano  and  Fr.  Mohan, 
who  kept  me  out  of  trouble  most  of  the  time.  Also, 
the  students  that  made  this  place  so  enjn\  able  A 
few  things  stick  out  in  my  mind:  Ireland  99  (in- 
cluding Joe  and  Billy  Douglas),  96-97  football 
with  all  the  coaches  and  players.  Oasis  97,  Go 
Train  crew.  Sugar  Ray,  Thomer.  Chas  Lewis,  The 
Kearnal,  'Hossauce'.  Glover  chats.  Gerald.  Skip- 
per, Droppi  ng  gym.  Telling  Magee  marks,  and  the 
McCraes.  Finally  I  must  thank  Chiarcossi  and 
France  for  the  new  name. 


Ernest  Ho 

Hmmm...  grad  quote...  never  liked  these  things... 
so  I  think  Ifll  keep  it  short.  Would  just  like  to 
thank  a  few  ppl  for  teaching  me  things.. laney  for 
teaching  me  how  to  be  blunt,  jo  for  teaching  me 
how  to  be  nice,  peewee  for  teaching  me  how  to 
sleep  even  when  I  don't  need  to,  curry  for  teach- 
ing me  to  play  gitz,  daibee  for  teaching  me  how 
to  be  happy  even  when  I'm  not.  yinvin  for  teach- 
ing me  how  to  be  thoughtful,  sansan  for  teach- 
ing me  how  to  comfort  ppl.  vincey  for  teaching 
me  about  cars,  lex  for  being  there,  kev  for  the 
skool  help  throughout  the  years,  albie  for  encour- 
aging me  in  the  gym.  janos  for  someone  to  beat 
on  evervdav,  janjan  for  teaching  me  big  words, 
dean  for  his  intellect  (hahaha),  and  joe  for  some- 
one to  make  fun  of  everyday.  I  guess  that's  all... 
so  much  for  short  eh?  Oh  well,  try  hard  in  your 
OAC  year  and  its  all  good.  "As  we  go  on,  we  re-

I  would  just  like  to  say  thanks  to  everyone  for 
the  past  five  years.  St.  Mike's  means  a  lot  to  me. 
Thanks  to  the  teachers  who  knew  I  was  capable 
of  more,  and  pushed  me  to  do  so.  To  all  my 
classmates  &  friends,  good  luck.  I'm  sure  I  will 
see  most  of  you  again  at  some  point,  so  until 
then,  take  it  easy. 


Justin  Herten  Greaven 


I  came  in  grade  9, 1  saw  the  passing  of  grades  10 
to  12,  and  now  in  the  year  2G,  I  can  proudly  say 
that  I  have  conquered  St.  Mike's,  and  in  retro- 
spect, no  school  could  have  done  me  better. 
Thanx  to  teachers  -  John,  McDougall,  McKernan, 
and  Fischer  -  who  taught  me  about  all  aspects  of 
life.  Peace  to  Koala-Boy  Lim,  Vinny  I-swear-I'm- 
not-a-gino  Jambone,  Davey  the  phantom  fainter, 
Boyntz  the  round-headed-pretty-boy,  and  even 
Rafferty  (Go  ST.  MIK'S?).  Nuff  memories  -  Que- 
bec, Cuba,  Cancun,  Boyntz's  farm,  eventless 
weekends  -  and  better  ones  to  come.  Shout  out 
to  my  Earl  Haig  boys  and  all  the  Gino  Bambino 
Paninoes.  Lates. 

At  exact!}  which  point  do  you  start  to  realize  that

tribulations,  the  spoils  and  privations,  the  jour-

end.  After  the  grueling  tests  &  exams,  horrible 
essays,  last  min.  lab  reports,  and  copied  WW.  I 
have  managed  to  survive.  As  I  leave  this  place 
for  the  last  and  final  time.  I  can  honestly  saj  that 
I  have  learned  what  the  school  has  set  out  to  in- 
still into  our  young  minds:  Goodness,  Discipline. 
&  Knowledge.  It  is  something  that  belongs  to  me 
forever  and  no  one  can  ever  take  it  away.  Thanx 
to  my  Ma  and  Pa  for  all  their  love,  encourage-

solutions.  Change  forces  us  to  adapt.  That's  how 
we  learn  and  grow."  -  Bill  Watterson  (Calvin  and

High  school  has  come  to  an  end  and  now  we  must 
enter  into  a  new  chapter  or  our  lives  guided  with 
the  goodness,  knowledge  and  discipline  which  we 
have  instilled  in  us  from  the  teachings  of  St. 
Michael's.  St.  Mikes  was  hard  and  with  all  the 
tests  and  I.S.U's  the  years  felt  endless.  We  will 
leave  this  school  with  gratitude  for  Father  Mohan 
and  all  of  our  teachers  because  they  educated  us 
and  forced  us  to  mature  from  boys  to  men.  I 
would  like  to  thank  my  friends  and  my  brother 
who  have  always  been  there  for  me  and  especially 
like  to  thank  my  parents  for  giving  me  the  op- 
portunity to  attend  this  fine  school,  always  sup- 
porting me  in  the  good  times  and  the  bad  and  for 
guiding  me  in  the  right  direction.  I  will  never  for- 
get my  years  at  St.  Mikes.  Good  luck  to  all  the 
graduates  and  see  you  at  the  reunion!

So  many  things  to  say,  so  little  time  to  say  it  in. 
Thanx  to  St.  Mike's  for  my  academic  and  spir- 
itual education...  and  even  for  the  hard  times 
where  teachers  went  essay  and  test  happy  a  day 
before  the  moratorium  deadline.  Thanx  to  my 
parents  and  sister  for  all  the  support  they  have 
given  me  throughout  my  18  years  of  life.  Thanx 
to  the  class  clowns  who  provided  the  laughs.  And 
thanx  to  my  friends,  the  guys  who  made  school 
bearable,  and  to  my  teachers,  who  created  enor- 
mous levels  of  stress  in  order  to  prepare  me  for 
university  and  reality.  It's  been  five  years,  tryin' 
tn  withstand  the  pressure  of  my  peers,  now  it's 
time  to  take  my  show  on  the  road,  and  put  my- 
self in  university  mode,  school's  been  rough  but 
it  can  only  get  more  tough,  life's  been  fun,  but 
the  fun  has  only  just  begun.  Good  luck  to  the  boys 
of  2000  and  I'll  miss  these  good  ol*  days...  Can  I 
get  a  Hug?

While  at  times  it  seemed  so  long,  these  last  five 
years  haven't  been  long  enough.  It  seems  like  only 
vesterday  that  I  was  a  niner  wasting  my  after- 
noons playing  Bust-A-Move  at  Panzerottos.  Now 
an  inch  taller.  I'm  graduating.  Along  the  way 
there's  been  teachers,  friends  and  memories  that 
won't  be  forgotten.  First  to  my  parents,  thank  you 
for  paying  for  the  last  five  years.  To  His 
YHS  w/Mr.  Barry  and  Michael  Wood  v;,  sir. 
thanks  for  putting  up  with  me.  Mr  Narducci  s 
Calculus,  the  greatest  teacher  and  class  at  SMC. 
To  McKernan's  niner  English,  Mr.  McCann.  and 
Mr.  Fischer's  philosophy  thanks.  Finally,  to  all 
the  teachers.  Basilians  and  friends  who  made  the 
last  five  years  worthwhile,  thanks.

Why  did  1  choose  SMC?  l  can  recall  myself  jump- 
ing with  joj  when  I  found  out  that  I  was  accepted 
Yet,  1  thmk  tn  myself  constantly,  wondering  why 
I  went  through  with  it.  I  can  remember,  vividly, 
my  days  as  the  smc  student:  shouting  UK  means 
Ukraine,  playing  the  role  of  the  idle  home  rep. 
competing  academically  with  my  best  friend,  be- 
lieving that  every  friday  was  a  grab  day,  listen- 
ing to  interesting  conspiracy  theories,  doing 
"goodies",  playing  ping  pong  in  spare  and  learn- 
ing how  t.  ;  and  hearts.  But  finally,  1 
self,  "What  did  I  learn?"  and  the  answer, 
\  whole  ton!"  At  ibis  point,  I  realize  the  "why" 
isunnecess  fact  thai  I  made  the  right 
choice  which  satisfies  ill  my  turmoil.  SMC  was 
the  greatest.  Vnd  I  pea)  that  God  bless 
and  wish  you  all  good  luck  in  your  future  endea>  -

More  than  preparing  for  the  successes  of  my 
life.  St.  Mike's  has  given  me  the  tools  of  Good- 
ness, Discipline  and  Knowledge  that  help  me 
with  the  many  challenges-  I  will  never  forget 
debating,  PC  Club.  IHL.  Reach,  and  the  yearly 
musicals.  St.  Michael's  lessons  art-  forever 
Many  thanks  to  my  parents,  teachers  and

Andrew  Krupowicz 

Sure,  five  years  seemed  like  an  eternity,  but  sud- 
denly it's  over.  Things  I'll  remember:  taking  pic- 
tures of  everything  and  everyone.  Running  the 
Blue  Herald:  getting  poetry  from  Anna.  Stef  and 
the  occasional  St.  Mike's  poets.  Lawrence's  un- 
beaten censorship  record.  Da  Maria  nights,  the 
difference  between  Beauty  &  Pie.  Montreal  '98. 
taking  over  the  province  &  crazy  election  bids. 
Biking  here  during  the  strikes.  Afternoon  an- 
nouncements, random  fire  alarms,  blizzards  & 
gas  days,  it  was  all  good.  Everyone's  favourite 
lackey:  Todd  (he's  not  Tim),  up  north  at  Julian's, 
and  Tern's  water  gun  fights,  Joe's  existence. 
Dean's  gadgets.  Nick's  wisdom:  too  much  to  fit 
here.  Running  Buzzers  games  &  Ms.  Boland's 
book  sales;  staff  like  Mr.  Bam.  Mr.  McKernan, 
Radu  &  Mr.  Narducci.  Thanks  to  everyone  who 
supported  us,  to  make  it  the  best  grad  class  ever 
and  a  great  five  years.

After  five  gruelling,  public  transit-ridden  years 
of  back-breaking  labour,  sleep  deprivation  and 
weeks  that  seemed  way  too  long,  I'm  finally  out. 
I'll  always  remember  post-exam  traditions,  in- 
tercontinental partying,  leaving  everything  to  the 
last  minute  and  still  pulling  it  off.  and  talking  with 
the  many  crazy  people  on  St.  Clair.  Thanks  to  all 
teachers  and  to  the  staff  at  Harvey's,  who  let  me 
sit  in  their  restaurant  for  years  without  ever  buy- 
ing anything.  To  my  family  and  to  the  two  great- 
est women  that  have  ever  walked  the  earth,  I  owe 
everything.  Thanks  go  out  to  the  boys  who  taught 
me  the  true  meaning  of  "class"  and  who  were 
there  for  ALL  of  my  firsts.  Here's  to  Tremblant, 
Cancun,  log  parties,  and  all  the  other  times  we 
got  to  show  our  "classiness"  ("It's  not  the  first 
time  and  it  definite])  ain't  the  last  time.")  Cheers, 
boys.

It  seems  like  it  was  only  yesterday  that  I  entered 
St  Mike's  as  a  ninerbut  now,  I  leave  as  a  mem- 
ber of  the  class  of  2000. 1  have  to  thank  my  par- 
ents for  the  sacrifices  they  made  so  that  I  could 
be  a  part  of  this  great  institution,  and  also  for 
their  ln\  e  and  support,  which  gave  me  the  confi- 
dence to  overcome  any  challenges.  I  also  have  to 
thank  the  teachers  at  SMC;  you  have  done  the 
best  job  possible.  To  my  friends,  MX,  T.J.  LL,  DS, 
KW,  EH.  RC.  VK,  AC,  and  others  who  I  have  not 
mentioned,  you  have  made  my  5  years  SM( 
enjoyable,  and  I  thank  you.  Good  luck  to  all 
graduates  and  see  you  all  at  the  reunion...  I'll  wear 
two  name  tags

read  my  bad  writing.  Caecilius,  dissecting, 
philosophising  with  McCann,  Smyth's  "neat 
and  tricky'1  problems  no  one  else  could 
understand.  I  made  music  at  the  awards,

Michael  Lankin 

My  five  years  at  St.  Mike's  has  seem  to  gone  by  in 
an  instant.  I  must  thank  my  family  for  always 
supporting  me  with  their  unending  love  and  re- 
spect. Memories  I  will  never  forget:  IHL  (Sr. 
Champs  98-99).  Metro  Bowl,  OverPower,  Gr.  9 
Religion  with  Trentadue:  "They  were  in  the  desert 
for  FORTY  YEARS!...  In  the  SAAANNND!",  the 
Jerichoholics  C  Team,  Gr.  11  English  with 
McKernan:  "It's  the  same  bloody  clock!",  OAC 
Chem  with  Tessaro,  Major's  games  at  MLG,  AP 
CalcwithShust:  "I  haven't  read  the  chapter  vet... 
we'll 

just  have  to  wing  it.",  and  of  course  the  Major's 
roadtrip  to  Peterborough!  Go  Double  Blue!!

one  less  traveled  by.  And  that  has  made  all  the 
difference."  —  Robert  Frost 


Gabor  Legeny 

As  I  walk  down  the  lane  of  memories  that  have 
collected  over  these  5  great  years,  all  I  can  think 
is  "I  can't  believe  it's  over."  Then  I  realize  it  isn't. 
It  never  will  be,  because  memories  never  die.  I 
want  to  thank  from  the  bottom  of  my  heart,  first 
uf  all.  m\  dear  parents  whose  kindness  and  gen- 
erosity 1  am  unable  to  put  into  words,  secondly, 
mv  close  friends  with  whom  I  shared  countless 
days  of  laughter  in  the  caf,  and  last  but  not  least, 
evenr  teacher  who  made  my  days  at  SMC  noth- 
ing less  than  enjoyable.  ThANKS  all.  forgetting 
me  where  I  am  today  I  wish  you  only  the  best 
that  life  has  to  give.  I  look  toward  the  future  with 
wide  ej  es,  and  hope  only  that  the  liqht  at  the  end 
of  the  tunnel  isn't  the  train. 


Richard  Lee 


I'd  be  King  if  I  said  SMC  was  my  favourite  place 
to  attend.  Perhaps  years  from  now  I'll  realize  SMC 
was  indeed  worthwhile,  but  right  now  I'm  just 
glad  my  five-years  are  finally  up.  Thanks  to  my 
parents  for  their  love  and  support,  and  to  those 
teachers  (i.e.  Tessaro.  McCann.  Narducci .  Vitullo, 
Barry)  who  made  learning  enjoyable.  Memories: 
the  SCS  &  Crescent  crew,  (esp.  BC&JH...  thanx 
for  all  the  laughs),  last  min.  exam  cramming,  pull- 
ing all-nighters.  Western  w  Angie  &  Mikey,  gitz, 
BChai's  &  Bankruptcy,  and  Queen's  w/the  Asian 
crew.  Best  of  luck  to  all  grads! ! !

This  once  perilous  journey  we  call  highschool  has 
finally  come  to  an  end.  It's  been  5  long  yrs  since 
we  first  came  to  SMC,  yet  it  feels  like  just  yester- 
day. This  place  taught  me  how  to  live  &  leam, 
how  to  reach  for  the  stars  &  accept  defeat,  for 
that  I  am  forever  grateful.  Peace  and  respect  to 
all.  Hurtzy,  Vinchenz,  Willy.  Johnny.  Mitch.  &

me  Mom&Dad,  words  can't  explain  how  much  1

M\  time  .it  St  Mike's  has  gum- by  in  a  blink  of  an 
eye.  I  need  to  thank  my  parents  for  you  unend- 
ing love  and  support.  Remembering  the  good 
times,  triple  spare  with  Haze.  Cricket.  Nard's 
class,  Quebec  98,  Ireland  99  -  the  best  time  of 
my  life,  Boyntz'  farm  and  Caneun  2000.  All  the 
boyz  that  made  theses  times  so  memorable: 
Boyntz,  Ban-Dog.  Haze,  Lim.  Willy.  Hurt/,  Yinnv, 
Timmy.  Murph.  Pat  and  Army.  Some  may  say. 
"Mike  Macdonald  was  S:30  to  2:30."  and  they'd 
be  right.  Only  when  something  is  gone  do  you 
realize  bow  much  you  want  it  back.  If  i  wanted  to 
change  anything  about  my  St.  Mike's  experience 
it  would  be  this,  to  get  involved.  "Dream  as  you'll

Most  guys  take  a  lot  of  time  thinking  about  what 
to  write  in  their  grad  quote,  and  I  was  no  differ- 
ent. The  conclusion  I  came  to  was  this:  why  not 
do  it  like  all  other  papers  I  have  written  in  high 
school  1st  and  last  draft  and  at  the  9th  hour,  while 
mj  eyes  are  glazed  over  barley  able  to  see,  yet 
alone  write  While  the  whole  time  thinking  about 
just  making  it  through  the  following  days  period 
2  test  so  I  could  begin  to  contemplate  about  the 
big  game.  Then,  all  of  a  sudden  it's  all  over  and 
we  look  behind  us  to  realize  that  we  actually  miss 
St  Mikes.  What  was  it  that  we  missed?  Was  it 
writing  8  exams  in  6  days,  was  il  visiting  uncle 
wnny.  cheering  on  the  box's  after  just  another  win, 
or  was  it  winking  into  the  camera  then  turning 
around  an  throwing  the  oldest,  half-eaten  sand- 
wich as  hard  as  you  possibly  could,  not  caring 
where  it  landed  or  what  punishment  it  would  re- 
sult in  I  think  we'll  miss  all  of  it.  not  ever  know- 
ing why.  To  mom,  dad  and  the  family  thank  you 
so  much.  Hoikedy  choike  on  C.  SMC.  Cheers.

I'd  like  to  take  this  opportunity  to  say  thanks  to 
.ill  those  who  knowme,  especially  thegirls.  Love 
and  respect  to  you  who  deserve  it  most:  first 
and  foremost  to  my  family;  your  patience  and 
support  these  last  five  years  was  golden.  To  the 
the  good  times,  great  memories,  and 
getting  my  back  when  it  was  needed.  To  the 
teachers  for  giving  me  the  basics  to  make  a  fu- 
ture. No  thanks  to  the  mosquitoes.  And  for  all 
St.  Mike's  grads.  won't  be  long  before  you  find 
out  "people  who  think  they  know  everything  are 
a  great  annoyance  to  those  of  us  that  do."  It's 
been  a  challenge,  but  a  challenge  I'm  glad  I 
undertook.  All-nighters  paid  off  in  the  end  To 
be  sure:  no  regrets.  If  you  don't  like  this  grad 
cluote,  read  it  again  and  then  realize  you  wasted 
your  time  reading  it  twice.

The  sad  thing  about  this  write-up  business  is 
that  in  a  way  it  is  as  if  we  are  writing  the  in- 
scription on  our  tombstones.  Take  any  year- 
book from  any  year  and  look  at  the  grads  and 
their  quotes.  What  do  you  see?  Pure  no-names 
right?  A  lot  of  those  people  are  unknown  to  you 
unless  they  are  your  relatives  our  are  famous 
in  one  way  or  another.  I  donit  want  my  picture 
to  simply  be  a  memory  and  my  blab  Iim  writ- 
ing now  to  be  the  last  that  YOU  hear  from  me. 
Give  me  a  few  years  for  my  life  to  start  cooking 
and  when  Iim  ripe,  you  can  ask  for  my  auto- 
graph under  this  picture  or  at  least  recognize 
who  I  am.  For  you  I  haven't  thanked...  don't 
worn-  I'll  mention  you  when  it  counts.

"It  is  not  fair  to  ask  of  others  what  you  are  not 
willing  to  do  yourself."  Mom,  Dad.  Andree, 
Christiane  and  Laure.  you  have  sacrificed  more 
than  I  will  ever  know  so  that  I  could  live  out  a 
dream.  I  hope  that  someday  I  will  be  able  to  do 
the  same  for  you.  I  have  accomplished  more 
than  I  have  ever  expected  to  in  the  past  five 
years.  I  have  worked  hard  in  my  plight  to  be 
the  best  man  I  can  be.  Credit,  however,  must 
be  granted  to  those  who  have  pushed  me  along 
the  way.  My  team  mates,  classmates,  coaches 
and  teachers  alike,  helped  me  realize  that  it  is 
not  whether  you  stand  or  fall,  but  it  is  whether 
you  have  the  strength  to  stand  after  you  fall.  A 
special  thanks  to  the  Kerry  Blues  for  teaching 
me  to  sleep  w/  one  eye  open.

Hello  Nu 


Well,  5  years  went  by  fast  considering  there 
were  no  ladies,  but  it  was  still  fun.  Trips  like 
Montreal '99  w/  M&M  and  T&C  2000  with  Phil, 
will  all  be  missed.  Thanx  Mom  and  Dad  for  the 
support  and  the  30G-S,  it  was  worth  it.  I'd  also 
like  to  thank  all  the  teachers  I  had  as  well  as 
those  I  didn't,  you  guys  are  all  great.  For  those 
who  haven't  yet  finished  here  I  leave  you  these 
5  words  of  wisdom:  When  in  doubt,  choose  C. 
L8r! 


Ryan  Murphy 


A  long  long  time  from  now  I  will  look  back  on 
these  last  five  years  and  it  will  not  be  the  marks 
or  the  courses  that  I  remember.  It  will  be  the 
people  and  the  great  times  we  spent  together. 
I'll  remember  Timmy,  Oldman,  Jay,  Mac, 
Boynts,  Just.  Dave.  Vinny,  Doyle,  Rocca.  JP. 
D'arc.  Chirs,  Hucker.  Clarke,  Rudd,  Chow, 
Cahill,  Mitch.  Liam,  Connor,  Hazel,  France, 
Skipper,  and  of  course  Nanni.  I'll  remember 
Sundays  at  Tim's,  the  dead  end,  Gabby's  Joyce, 
late  night  cab  rides,  early  morning  rides  to 
school  and  any  other  event  which  for  one  rea- 
son or  another  i  cannot  recall.  It  will  be  these 
things  that  will  stay  with  me  because  these 
things  were  what  SMC  was  to  me.  So  I  shall 
leave  you  with  these  words:  Stay  true  to  your- 
self, mr  cess  &  happiness  will  follow.

well-deserved  opportunities  to  discover  that 
Room  213  is  a  fun  place  to  be  after  school!  You 
taught  me  DISCIPLINE!  Thanks  also  to  the 
teachers  who  made  my  learning  experience  a  fun 
one,  particularly  Nards,  Bro\,  Bisonnette,  ^

As  m\  years  at  St.  Mike's  concludel  an  ex- 
tremely grateful  for  having  had  the  opportunity 
to  attend  such  an  institution.  It  isn't  until  you 
are  leaving  SMC  that  you  realize  it's  irreplace- 
able. SMC  has  enabled  me  to  become  a  well- 
rounded  individual,  student,  and  athlete,  for  as 
a  niner  I  desired  nothing  more  than  to  wear  a 
double  blue  jersey,  now  1  graduate  wearing  the 
"M"  with  pride  and  conviction,  not  only  on  my 
chest  but  in  my  heard.  5  years  of  double  blue 
chaos  will  remain  with  me  forever.  Finally,  I'd 
like  to  thank  my  family,  Fr.  Campbell,  my  men- 
tor and  lifelong  friend,  all  my  coaches  and 
teammates,  the  teaching  staff,  and  most  of  all 
the  class  of  2000  for  creating  another  monu- 
mental piece  in  SMC  history. 


As  the  lamp  goes  out, 

the  sun  rises  up, 

and  shines  on  the  land  and  sky. 

It's  hard  to  tell 

how  in  these  walls, 

the  time  keeps  flying  by. 

I  thank  all  those  who  influence, 

the  teachers,  the  Mends,  the  ties. 

But  most  of  all!  thank  my  parents. 

who  struggled  as  it  went  by.

I  have  accomplished  a  great  deal  in  my  five 
years  at  St.  Mike's.  Maybe  not  "academically". 
intellectually,  or  physically,  but  no  one  else 
could  have  made  better  use  of  their  spares  or 
watched  as  manv  movies.  On  top  of  that  I've 
been  nominated  one  of  the  graduating  students 
"most  likely  to  become  a  comedian"  hy  my 
peers.  While  for  most  teachers  this  may  trans- 
late as  "person  most  likely  to  remain  a  jerk"  and 
student  least  likely  to  succeed"  I'd  like  to  men- 
tion that  Devry  hasn't  exactly  rejected  my  ap- 
plication vet,  and  there's  always  those  ICS home 
courses  to  fall  back  on.  Yes,  I've  developed  a 
great  deal  during  my  St.  Michael's  career  (that 
is,  aging  five  years)  and  1  will  never  forget  that 
triple  snow  day  or  the  TTC  strike  in  grade  12.

help,  my  family  for  their  support,  +  especially 
to  my  friends,  who  stuck  with  me  all  the  way. 
Things  to  remember  are  New  Years  2000,  first 
period  spare,  OAC  Physics,  the  "room",  the 
"champ",  Loblaws  and  the  narcs,  Signor  +  Gary, 
Italy  +  France  '98  (World  Cup),  chemical  spill 
'98,  Blackout  '99,  and  snowstorm  '98.  Hope 
everyone  has  a  great  life,  and  good  luck  to  all  in 
the  future.  "Remember  those  who  don't  try. 
never  make  mistakes."

good  luck  to  everyone.  Make  a  difference  in

These  past  five  years  at  St.  Michael's  has  pro- 
vided me  with  a  great  learning  experience  that 
I  will  never  forget.  It  has  helped  me  on  my  quest 
for  knowledge  and  has  given  me  a  strong  moral 
foundation.  I  would  like  to  thank  my  parents 
for  sending  me  here  and  for  always  being  there 
for  me.  I  wold  also  like  to  thank  the  teachers 
for  putting  up  with  me  for  these  past  five  years, 
they  have  helped  me  understand  humanity  bet- 
ter. I  now  leave  St.  Michael's  with  many  lasting 
memories.  Some  of  these  include:  the  'Retreats', 
Cancun  2k,  Bahamas,  Business  with  SR  and 
others,  and  Freakin99  w/BC+AC+MS.

It  seems  like  only  yesterday  I  was  trying  to  get 
used  to  the  yellow  bricks  of  St.  Mike's  and  now 
I  am  only  left  with  memories  and  twelve  bricks 
in  my  garage.  Things  I  will  always  remember: 
grade  1 1  bio,  physics  exams,  lunch-time  soccer 
games.  Father  Zinger's  water  gun.  Italian  dia- 
logues, scam  nung  rules  home.  Thank  > i hi  Muni 
and  Papa  for  supporting  me  throughout  this  five 
year  adventure.  I  definitely  could  not  have  done 
it  without  you.  To  all  the  dudes  (you  guj 
who  vou  are  even  though  half  of  you  deny  it), 
good  luck  in  all  of  your  future  endeavors.  For- 
ever will  the  double  blue  of  St.  Mike's  flow 
through  my  veins'

I  would  like  to  take  this  opportunity  to  thank 
my  mother  and  father  for  always  supporting 
me,  even  when  my  thoughts,  ideas,  and  aspira- 
tions bordered  on  madness.  You  have  always 
loved  me.  and  I  will  love  you  always  and  for- 
ever. I  would  also  like  to  thank  my  teachers  for 
their  support  and  inspiration,  and  I  would  es- 
pecially like  to  thank  those  teachers  who  blessed 
me  with  their  friendship:  I  will  think  of  you 
and  pray  for  you  always.  A  special  thank-you  is 
extended  to  mv  closest  friends  who  stood  by  me 
through  the  good  times  and  the  rough  times.  1 
wish  you  the  best  of  luck  in  all  of  your  future 
endeavours,  and  you  are  all  invited  to  the  wed- 
ding when  I  marry  that  girl  from  outer  space.

Time's  up.  The  clock's  ticking  and  it's  come  time 
to  say  good-bye  to  my  second  home  and  my  sec- 
ond family.  It's  been  5  long  but  short,  easy  but 
hard,  and  fun  but  boring  years  at  St.  Mike's  and 
I'm  proud  to  say  that  I  have  attended  a  school 
that  has  taught  me  Goodness.  Discipline,  and 
Knowledge.  I  can  never  forget  the  lunch  hours 
with  the  GUYS  and  cannot  thank  them  enough 
for  making  my  school  years  enjoyable.  But  I 
cannot  thank  anyone  as  much  as  my  parents  for 
being  by  my  side  and  for  encouraging  me  to  do 
my  best.  "We  might  think  this  is  the  end,  but 
it's  really  just  the  beginning."

t  years  ago.  I  made  the  choice  to  come  to  St. 
Mike's,  and  it  has  proven  itself  to  be  one  of  the 
best  decisions  I  have  ever  made.  Thanks  go  out 
to:  my  parents  for  all  their  love  and  support  (I 
owe  you  BIG  TIME!),  Marilynn  for  always  be- 
ing there  for  me,  the  boys  {you  know  who  >  ou 
are)  for  all  the  good  times,  and  to  all  the  teach- 
ers and  priests  who  helped  me  along  the  waj 
My  greatest  memories  include:  SCARRED  ARM 
(Hey  Steph,  we  made  the  team!),  end  zone 
rookie  chats,  football  championship 
\2,  CISAA,  Metrobowl  '98),  missing  the  12:13 
(Oldman),  all  the  parties,  pranks  and  scams 
(Thanks  boys!),  the  soup  club,  the  GO  Train 
crew,  Austin  From,  and  driving  school  (M&K 
Forever! ).  Well  graduates,  I  leave  you  now  with 
the  words  of  an  unknown  source:  "Do  not  fol- 
low where  the  path  may  lead,  go  instead  where 
there  is  no  path  and  leave  a  trail".

Five  years  in  these  >  el  1cm  bricks!  I  have  gained 
many  memories  from  SMC  that  would  not  have 
been  possible  without  all  u  people.  Especially, 
the  guyz  from  Ireland  (Watson,  enemies  forever), 
some  of  u  other  SMC  guyz  and  last  but  not  least 
the  Asians,  there  are  so  many  of  u  from  Averj  u  i 
RichV  that  I  can't  say  enough,  but  thanks  for  the 
good  times  and  great  memories.  I  would  like  to 
thank  all  my  teachers  and  especially  1  would  like 
to  thank  God  and  my  parents  for  making  this 
possible.  Finally,  to  all  the  graduates  of  SMC  I 
wish  u  people  the  best  of  luck  and  SMC  will  al- 
ways be  a  part  of  me  no  matter  where  life  takes 
me. 


Justin  Srigley 

Five  memorable  years  at  SMC  have  gone  by  so 
fast  that  it's  scan  conceiving  how  quickly  the  next 
five  years  will  pass.  Throughout  my  high  school 
career  my  lack  of  vertical  growth  has  been  over- 
shadowed by  a  more  important  type  of  growth,  a 
growth  which  couldn't  have  been  nourished  bet- 
ter than  by  the  priests,  faculty,  and  students  of 
SMC.  I'd  like  to  thank  my  friends  for  the  memo- 
ries and  lasting  friendships,  Fr.  Zinger  and  Mr. 
Fischer  for  their  prime  example  of  the  Christian 
life,  Mr.  Smyth  for  his  inspiring  interest  in  math, 
Sr.  Frances  for  honing  my  English  skills,  and  all 
the  other  legendary  SMC  teachers  I've  had  who've 
contributed  to  my  metamorphosis  from  boy  into 
man.  Finally.  I'd  like  to  thank  my  mom.  dad,  sis- 
ters, and  grandparents  for  always  being  there 
during  the  good  times  and  bad,  and  for  constantly 
instilling  in  me  the  importance  of  education.  A 
bona  fide  super-achiever  once  told  me  that  with 
opportunity,  a  little  luck,  and  most  importantly 
hard  work,  set  goals  will  be  attained 


Michael  Stamler 


I  came.  I  saw.  and  will  always  remember  there 
have  been  good  times  and  bad,  new  lessons 
learned  and  old  ones  forgotten  yet  never  will  I 
say  that  I  did  not  live  these  past  five  years  well, 
to  the  Basilians,  the  SMC  staff,  my  friends,  my 
family  and  God  thank  you  for  your  love,  support, 
the  strength  to  persevere,  and  the  courage  to  do 
it  m>  way.  So.  as  we  venture  forth  out  from  the 
shelter  of  these  hallowed  halls  don't  forget  that 
it  ain't  over.  There's  still  much  to  see  and  do.  bat- 
tles to  face,  and  choices  to  choose;  though 
through  it  all  we'll  always  bleed  double  blue.

Dear  Mr.  Pagano, 

This  letter  is  to  inform  you  that  I  have  irrespon- 
sibly forgotten  my  grad  quote  at  home,  sorrj 
my  fish  ate  it!  Just  think  back  with  me  for  a 
minute  about  all  the  momories  I'll  miss  reflect- 
ing upon:  ice  fishing  with  Skipper  in  grade  9, 
Skipper  in  general,  Skipper  in  particular,  the 
crowning  of  Ickles  as  super-heavyweight  cham- 
pion of  the  world  {4  itmes?  What  were  you  think- 
ing man?),  time-waste-management  with 
Shaughnessy,  song  writing  sessions,  Latin  Book 
"drawings  with  a  twist",  the  emergence  of 
GAMEDAY  Stepura.  wieght  room  pose-downs. 
Chiarks,  cafeteria  high  jinks,  many  well  earned 
bruises  during  lacrosse,  and  the  entire  OAC 
year...  it  goes  by  too  quickly.  In  conclusion,  I'd 
like  to  saj  that  forgetting  my  quote  definitely  wul 
NOT  happen  again.  I  promise!  See  you  in  group 
social...  I  mean  detention!  Oops!  Forever  Re- 
membering, Matt  Stepura. 
P.S.  Life  is  Good.  Thanks  Mom  and  Dad!!

Over  the  past  four  years,  it  is  impossible  to  re- 
member all  the  things  that  I  have  learned,  all  the 
people  I've  met,  and  all  the  things  I  did..  But  I  do 
know  that  has  all  lead  me  to  become  who  I  am 
today,  and  it's  all  good.  First  of  all  I  would  like  to 
thank  all  of  my  teachers,  especially  Mr.  Pagano, 
Mr.  John,  Mr.  Fischer,  Mr.  Tessaro.Radu.  Mr. 
Grassi.  Mrs.  Boland,  Mr.  McCann.  and  Mr. 
McCann.  And  last  but  definitely  not  the  least.  I 
would  like  to  thank  all  of  my  friends  who  have 
always  been  there,  especially  JL .  JC.  EH.  JJ.  TJ. 
.IT.  MX,  LL.  GD.  KW,  DJ.  AT.  DS,  and  R.C.  I  hope 
we  always  keep  it  real,  and  stay  in  touch.

Over  the  past  four  \  ears  in  which  I  have  attended 
this  school  I  have  learned  a  lot .  Through  the  high 
standards  of  this  school  I  have  been  able  to  de- 
velop good  study  habits  which  will  help  me  as  I 
continue  with  my  education.  I  have  been  pro- 
vided with  good  qualified  teachers  who  taught 
me  about  particular  subjects,  about  myself,  and 
about  my  relationship  with  God  and  others.  I 
have  also  been  able  to  make  many  good  friends 
here  over  the  past  few  years.  Finally,  I  would  like 
ot  hank  this  school  for  encouraging  me  to  prac- 
tice my  faith  through  the  Christian  presence  here 
at  SMC.  Therefore.  I  am  greatly  indebted  to  this 
school  for  all  the  benefits  given  to  me  and  will, 
with  the  grace  of  God.  use  the  talents  acquired 
here  to  better  serve  God  and  neighbour.

port on  that  day,  but  also  for  her  patieti 
the  years.  And  ray  father,  who  has  worked  so  hard 
for  my  benefit  St  Mikes  became  a  second  home. 
1  place  where  I  enjoyed  spending  even  the  most

day enjoyable  by  making  it  routine.  1

the  Spadina  run'  to  the  faces  which  quick!)  be- 
came familiar,  the  people  and  places  changed  but 
the  tradition  remained  1  will  never  forge!  the 
great  times  in  im  years  at  SMC  \

left  behind,  and  remain  optimistM

Another  chapter  in  my  life  has  come  to  a  close 
and  now  it's  time  to  reflect  on  my  years  at  SMC 
Coming  in  '95.  I  had  no  idea  what  St.  Mikes 
was  like.  Before  I  knew  it,  I  found  myself  prac- 
tically li\ing  in  the  yellow  brick  walls  four  days 
a  week!  Endless  concert  and  jazz  rehearsals  and 
choir  practices  among  other  things. ..But  I 
couldn't  have  gone  so  far  without  my  loving  and 
supporting  family,  who  has  endured  and  en- 
couraged me  over  the  years.  Leaving  could  only 
leave  me  with  old  memories:  Thompson's  phys- 
ics classes.  Xarducci's  JFK  &  "Magic  Bullet", 
Zinger's  water  gun.  AErodrame  &  Chemins 
Dangereuse.  Caf  Wars.  "The  Christian  Senice 
Band",  Murphy's  Law,  T.J.'s  Summer  of '99, 
T.D.,  M.L.,  J.L..  J.J..  L.W.,  MR.,  AT..  D.Q.,  J.S.. 
and  others. ..One  thing  I  know  is  that  going  off 
to  university  is  just  the  beginning.  It's  always 
just  a  beginning.  It's  what  we  make  of  it.

I've  never  experienced  anything  like  it  before  - 
frankly,  1  don't  know  if  I'll  experience  anything 
like  it  again.  It  was  within  these  walls  where  my 
life  passed  from  innocence  to  experience.  Of- 
ten we  pander  -  the  ferocity  of  Junior  'A'  hockey 
or  varsit}  football,  how  a  community  finds  ex- 
pression in  screaming  at  bad  calls,  cheering 
goals,  or  booing  penalties.  .-Ml  reveal  something 
about  ourselves:  pride  and  passion  till  our 
hearts  in  order  to  conjure  a  win  for  the  thrill  of 
victory  or  the  agony  of  defeat.  Whatever  the 
result,  we  bow  our  heads  in  the  locker  room  only 
to  conclude  with  tears  running  down  our  cheeks 
and  sweat  dripping  from  our  brow  our  true  col- 
ours: Double  Blue.  Ma  and  Dad  thank  so  much

Anthony  Varona 

Five  years  ago  I  came  to  St.  Mike's  as  a  nervous 
and  excited  little  niner,  and  now  I'm  graduating. 
It's  hard  to  express  how  I  feel  about  moving  on.  I 
know  that  "all  good  things  must  come  to  an  end 
and  every  end  leads  to  a  new  beginning." BUt  all 
of  these  cliches  mean  nothing.  SMC  was  life  for 
me.  I  will  always  remember  football  (2 
metrobowls  and  Ohio),  sleepless  nights,  endless 
homework,  annoying  [SU's,  the  Mississauga 
crew,  <  >AC  physics,  grade 9  lunch,  choir,  student 
government,  inside  jokes,  teachers  and  coaches, 
and  all  of  my  friends  that  made  my  stay  here 
worthwhile.  There  are  too  many  memories  to 
express  in  such  a  small  space.  For  five  years  I 
breathed,  sweat,  and  slept  on  SMC  and  its  not 
easy  to  say  good-bye  to  a  way  of  life.  So  Thank 
you  SMC,  because  it  was  this  way  of  life  that  has 
prepared  me  to  take  on  the  world.  Special  thanks 
to  my  family  and  friends  for  their  constant  love 
and  support,  especially  my  brother  Mike,  whose 
guidance  basically  got  me  through  high  school. 


Ronan  Wilson 

I  never  thought  I'd  write  one  of  those  seemingly 
corny  "Five  years  over  already?"  reflections,  but 
strangely  enough  those  words  seem  appropriate 
right  now .  Some  great  times  were  had,  thanks  to 
even  body  who  contributed  to  them,  there's  more 
to  come  I'm  sure.  A  special  thanks  to  my  family 
for  all  the  support,  it  means  a  great  deal  to  me. 
Classic  memories  include  discussing  game  strat- 
egy at  Hazell's,  the  S  14.70  pyramid .  Kensington, 
searching  for  Troy,  Dominican  2000,  the  flight 
to  Dominican,  Indie's,  writing  my  grad  quote  on 
the  streetcar,  retiring  the  calculator,  the  great 
snowstorm  of  99.  and  heated  discussions  at  'The 
[able'' 


Louis  Williams 

Different,  unusual,  peculiar....  These  I  have  be- 
come. St.  Mike's  has  taught  me  to  be  different 
and  stand  out  amongst  others.  Thanks  to  all  the 
boys  turned  men,  especially  the  Asian  Mafia, 
Tamilz  everywhere,  and  Max  (he  asked  me  to 
include  his  name).  Many  thanks  to  my  family 
for  their  support  and  love,  especially  my  mother 
for  her  persistent  prayers.  To  my  teachers  who 
kept  me  focused  especially  Mr.  Narducci,  Mr- 
Thompson,  Sr.  FrancEs,  Fr.  Zinger.  Mr.  Shust. 
Mr.  John,  and  Mr.  P.  And  finally,  to  my  best 
friends  in  this  world  and  the  next:  LawT-ence, 
Sylvain,  my  lil'  bro,  Dushy,  and  Sancharieni 
(toad!!!)  - 1  love  you  all.  So  that's  all  for  these 
five  years.  "Veni,  Vidi,  Vici  -  Caesar  (and  Ja 
Rule!)...  actually  I  didn't,  but  it's  all  good.  Peace!

"Education  s  purpose  is  to  replace  an  empty 
mind  with  an  open  one."  -  Malcom  Forbes 
My  education  at  St.  Mike's  is  .1  debt  I  can  never 
fully  repay.  In  sincere  gratitude,  I  would  like  to 
thank  my  family  first  and  foremost  for  their 
constant  support.  I  would  also  like  to  thank  the 
mam  teachers  who  have  inspired  and  educated 
me  throughout  my  highschool  career.  My  sin- 
cere thanks  go  out  ot  Sr    Frances.  Mr    Smyth, 

Mr.  Coghlan,  Mr  McCann,  Mr  Tessaro.  Mr. 

Fischer.  Mr.  Zanardo.  Mr.  Yitullo.  Mr. 
Thompson,  and  Mr.  John.  Without  teachers  like 
these,  st  Mike's  would  not  exist. 
'Benevolence alone  will  not  make  a  teacher,  nor 
will  learning  alone  do  it.  The  gift  ot  teaching  is 
a  peculiar  talent,  and  it  implies  .1  need  and  a 
craving  in  the  teacher  himself."  -  John  Jay

I'd  like  to  also  thank  RC  JI ,  1  U  Vk.  MN.  TJ. 
and  all  the  other  well- wish  t.   -

Well  boys,  it's  over.  What  can  I  say  about  the  past 
5  years?  It's  all  about  the  memories:  Harvey's 
breakfast  during  first  period  with  Duper  and 
Zettel.  paper/rock/scissors  out  the  door  with 
Dupes  and  Drem  in  Dileo's  class,  the  adventures 
of  Steps  and  Woolburger  in  Fr.  Cullen's  art 
classes,  a  TDCAA  Championships  with  Chili  and 
the  Senior  B  boys,  watergun  showdowns  with  Fr. 
Zinger.  These  are  just  a  few  of  all  the  good  times. 
Come  to  think  of  it.  SMC  has  been  nothing  but 
good  times. 


Richard  Young 

"Today  is  the  fruit  of  yesterday,  but  it  is  also  the 
seed  of  tomorrow."  It  seems  like  only  yesterday 
when  I  entered  these  yellow  bricks  as  a  niner  and 
it's  weird  how  all  of  a  sudden  I'm  writing  a  grad 
quote.  It's  strange  how  I  survived  these  five 
years. but  1  did.  As !  lookback,  I'll  always  remem- 
ber everything  St.  Mike's  had  to  offer,  most  no- 
tably the  infamous  yeast  lab  (the  first  of  many 
all  nighters  to  come),  grade  10  math  and  story- 
telling with  N'arducci,  grade  11  English  with 
McKernan.  grade  12  English  and  "The  Pizza 
Parrv"  with  Nicholson,  bantam  basketball  with 
Tessaro,  junior  and  senior  baseball,  Rochestor 
'99,  and  Ireland  '99.  Thanks  go  out  to  my  family 
for  their  love  and  support,  all  of  the  teachers  and 
faculty  for  teaching  me  "goodness,  discipline  and 
knowledge"  and  last  but  not  least,  all  of  the  boys, 
especially  the  "Azian  Invazion"  for  all  of  the 
laughs  and  memories.  It's  been  a  tough  ride  but 
an  enjoyable  one.  Best  wishes  go  out  to  every- 
one. I'm  out. 


Michael  Zettel 


It's  all  over,  f\\e  years  flew  by.  It  was  tough  to 
decide  whether  to  write  a  serious  or  funny  quote, 
but  the  decision  was  made  easily  through  the  sim- 
ple revelation  that  I  am  not  as  funny  as  I  think  I 
am.  There  are  many  people  I  would  like  to  thank, 
especially  my  parents  and  teachers.  I  commend 
every  teacher  who  has  taught  me  on  a  job  very 
well  done,  I  know  it  was  not  an  easy  task.  Mr. 
Fischer,  with  whom  I  spend  three  years,  I  wish 
to  thank  you  for  your  patience,  the  years  I  spent 
in  your  class  have  proved  to  be  the  most  influen- 
tial in  my  short  life.  What  else  is  there  to  say  about 
five  years  at  St.  Mike's?  Its  funny;  nothing  seems 
to  come  to  mind. 


Matthew  Zulys 

Five  years  is  a  long  time,  but  it  passes  so  quickly. 
The  one  thing  I  have  to  say  about  my  five  years 
at  St.  Mike's  is  that  they  have  been  well  worth 
it.  I  now  feel  that  I  am  ready  to  begin  the  next 
phase  of  my  life.  I  would  like  to  thank  my  fam- 
ily, friends  and  teachers  for  supporting  me  and 
keeping  me  on  the  right  track.  I  wish  the  Class 
of  2000  the  best  of  luck  on  whichever  path  you 
choose.  Every  end  is  only  a  new  beginning,  fol- 
low your  hearts,  put  in  the  effort  and  your 
dreams  will  come  true.

Basilian  Fathers,  honoured  guest,  faculty,  administration,  families  and  fellow  graduates:  Today  we  all  gather  here  as  friends  of  St. 
Michael's  and  I  stand  before  you,  a  special  honor  bestowed  upon  me  by  my  classmates,  the  honor  to  represent  them  on  graduation  as  their 
valedictorian.  So  I  was  given  the  prestigious  in  a  very  difficult  task  in  writing  a  valedictorian  address  that  would  pay  homage  to  the 
graduating  class  of  2000.  At  first.  I  didn't  know  what  to  say.  I  was  stuck.  Nothing  came  to  me.  The  fact  that  this  speech  meant  that  our 
times  at  St.  Mike's  was  coming  to  an  end.  was  really  getting  to  me.  So  every  night  I  lie  in  my  bed  staring  at  the  ceiling,  thinking  about 
how  I  should  deliver  my  speech.  Should  it  be  inspiring,  humourous,  factual,  or  plain  old  sappy?  All  these  memories  and  words  about  my 
times  at  St.  Mike's  were  juggled  in  my  head,  so  much  to  say  and  not  enough  time  to  say  it.  Night  after  night  of  this  artist  reflection,  but 
nothing  came  to  me.  But  one  night.  I  came  to  a  realization  that  1  should  stop  trying  to  write  with  my  head,  and  start  trying  to  speak 
through  my  heart.  I  realized  that  our  times  at  St.  Mike's  is  solely  in  the  memories  and  the  words,  in  not  just  learning  goodness,  discipline, 
and  knowledge,  or  having  double  blue  pride.  The  true  meaning  lies  with  feeling.  A  feeling  that  we  all  know.  A  feeling  that  is  in  our  soul 
that  runs  through  us  in  our  blood  that  completes  us  and  connects  us.  It  is  the  bond  that  is  formed  between  each  and  everyone  of  us  that  will 
last  forever.  We  all  came  here  as  strangers.  We  now  leave  here  as  brothers. 

Five  years  ago,  in  September,  the  hollow  hallways  of  St.  Michael's  said  hello  to  192  bright  red  niners.  is  what  we  were  called,  and 
who  were  filled  with  unbounded  aspirations  and  the  eagerness  to  learn.  But  we  were  also  filled  with  fear  and  rushed  from  class  to  class, 
voiding  eye  contact  with  the  giant  OAC's.  hoping  desperately  not  to  do  the  uncool  thing.  That  day,  we  set  out  a  journey  towards  manhood 
and  maturity  that  would  eventually  forge  us  into  leader  and  champions.  Forge  us  to  the  graduating  class  of  2000.  This  years  graduating 
class  came  from  all  over  the  province,  to  receive  the  honour  of  calling  themselves  St.  Michael's  men.  We  came  from  the  depth  of 
Mississauga.  the  wilderness  of  Woodbridge.  the  frozen  tundra  of  Markham,  we  came  from  the  far-eastern  ridges  of  Whitby,  western  prairie 
farmland  of  Oakville.  everyday  we  made  our  trip  to  Bathurst  and  St.  Clair,  frustrated  by  stop  and  go  traffic,  the  TTC  service  and  we  didn't 
do  this  because  we  like  waking  up  at  5:30  in  the  morning,  stepping  out  into  the  cold,  being  hassled  with  the  student  cards,  arriving  at 
school  only  to  realized  that  we  forgot  our  homework  and  uniforms  at  home.  We  did  it  so  we  could  receive  something  we  could  not  get 
anywhere  else.  The  best  education,  the  best  teachers,  the  best  clubs  and  teams,  the  best  arts  and  athletics,  and  the  best  friends. 
In  short,  we  came  to  experience  the  St.  Mike's  tradition.  It  is  funny,  that  while  sitting  in  class,  some  days  felt  like  five  years.  But  today,  as 
we  graduates  gather  for  the  last  time,  our  five  years  feel  like  only  a  day,  then  it  is  come  and  gone.  So  many  mixed  emotions  are  running 
through  our  heads,  we  fell  the  joy  and  pride  of  finishing  high  school,  the  fear  and  excitement  of  moving  on  to  a  world  of  countless  oppor- 
tunities, but  also  the  sadness  of  having  to  say  goodbye  to  those  who  we  lived  our  last  five  years  with.  And  for  five  years,  w  e  grew  up  as 
boys  into  St.  Michael's  men.  Our  niner  fears  had  faded  away  as  we  became  proud  of  being  part  of  the  double  blue  legacy.  Guided  by 
Goodness,  Discipline  and  Knowledge,  we  learned  and  lived  that  legacy  and  tradition,  which  made  us  stronger  and  taught  us  countless 
valuable  life  lessons.  If  the  yellow  bricks  of  our  school  can  talked,  think  about  all  the  stories  that  it  can  tell  us  about  times  we  have  spent. 
within  the  wall,  which  they  make  up.  Starting  from  our  grade  eight-entrance  exam,  when  we  were  first  introduced  to  the  infamous 
scantron  cards,  a  teacher's  best  friend.  These  bricks  will  talk  about  our  growth  from  little  children  into  rowdy,  cocks  men.  who  bleed  blue 
blood  pride.  Where  else  would  a  drop  plate  in  the  cafeteria  be  followed  by  table  pounding  and  loud  cheers?  Where  else  would  you  hear 
spontaneous  cheering  and  coordinated  clapping  echoing  through  the  hallway  s?  These  walls  would  talk  about  our  dreams,  our  trials  and 
workouts,  our  goals  and  touchdowns  and  debates,  our  victories  and  defeats.  They  would  speak  about  our  study  sessions,  spares,  the  Bubba 
Lou.  the  Hoikety  Choik.  superfans.  briscola,  lunches  at  Harveys  and  the  pool  hall  and  all  the  fun  games  that  we  had.  But  they  would  not 
forget  all  the  hard  work  that  we  endured  the  hundreds  of  tests  and  exams,  late  nights,  earl)  mornings,  short  weekends,  and  long,  long 
school  days.  All  of  this  hard  work  culminates  in  today's  ceremony.  And  we  stand  proud,  cherishing  our  memories  and  accomplishments  in 
the  St.  Mike's  tradition  and  saluting  those  who  made  ii  possible  to  bleed  this  blue  blood  pride.  The  double  blue  pride  o\  Si.  Mike's  means 
something  different  for  all  of  us,  whether  it  be  athletics  or  academics,  this  pride  permeated  in  all  oi  our  actions.

Over  the  years  of  1995  to  2000.  our  class  has  been  part  of  the  SMC  tradition  of  success,  which  captured  even,  league  champion- 
ship in  almost  ever}'  sport  we  participated  in.  We  were  part  of  the  Metro  Bowl  football  championship  team,  an  international  cross-countr) 
team  and  a  Major  League  Majors  and  Buzzers  hockey  team.  But  our  pride  and  success  goes  beyond  this.  We  have  top  of  the  line  debaters, 
mathematicians,  thespians.  and  musicians  who  are  victorious  in  their  own  field.  We  also  continued  SMC's  work  in  programs,  such  as  Out 
of  the  Cold.  Meals  on  Wheels  and  the  Good  Shepherd  Refuge.  This  pride  dates  back  on  the  Christian  principles  that  the  Basilian  Fathers 
built  the  foundation  of  our  school  on.  one  hundred  forty  eight  years  ago.  All  the  way  through  our  stay  here,  we  never  stood  alone.  We  have 
been  guided,  encouraged  and  lead  by  the  Basilian  Fathers  and  lay  teachers.  If  we  are  the  skyscrapers  of  opportunity  of  the  future,  then 
these  men  and  women  are  truly  the  foundation  of  the  St.  Mike's  tradition  that  has  been  instilled  in  each  of  us.  For  the  true  value  of  St. 
Michael's  education  is  not  the  actual  academic  subject.  It  lies  in  the  lessons  of  life,  which  we  learned  from  our  teachers,  which  truly  make 
our  stay  here  worthwhile.  Working  together,  they  have  given  us  the  strong  start  in  life,  by  challenging  us  to  uphold  the  true  spirit  of  St. 
Michael's. 

And  along  the  way,  they  have  left  us  w  ith  the  many  memories  to  treasure.  Kung  Fu  with  Mr.  Lew  is.  w  ater  gun  fights  and  garden 
duty  with  Fr.  Zinger.  we  learned  the  importance  of  Grade  12  grammar  and  spelling  bees  with  Mr.  Nickelson.  and  that  there  is  no  difference 
between  NASA  rocket  science  problem  in  a  Mr.  Thompson's  OAC  Physics  daily  review  question.  How  can  we  forget  caffeine  power 
chemistry  class  we  had  with  Mr.  Ribarich  and  Mr.  Tessaso.  It  is  true  that  we  have  learned  how  to  integrate  equations,  conjugate  verbs,  and 
appreciate  history,  philosophy,  theology  and  science.  But  we  also  learned  the  power  of  a  blue  slip,  the  difference  between  black  running 
shoe  and  gray  khakis  and  that  of  dress  shoes  and  gray  dress  pants.  We  acquired  certain  skills,  such  as  tying  our  beards  in  such  a  way, 
given  the  privilege  to  shave  during  a  certain  time.  And  the  ability  to  maneuver  around  the  school  undetected  when  avoiding  certain 
teachers.  We  have  learned  about  the  beauty  of  languages,  art  and  music,  but  we  have  also  been  exposed  to  the  history  of  the  JFK  con- 
spiracy. And  we  are  taught  how  to  soar  like  eagles  even  when  surrounded  by  chickens.  Who  can  forget  the  vital  lessons  we  have  learned, 
especially,  "w  henever  you  get  in  trouble  in  life,  just  take  the  derivative  and  set  it  to  zero  and  you  are  bound  to  get  something."  These 

teachers  challenged  us  and  called  us  to  be  better  people  and  for  this  we  are  internally  grateful! 

How  can  we  speak  about  our  memories  of  stay  here  without  the  colourful  cast  and 
character,  which  make  up  the  members  of  our  graduating  class?  Kearney's  presidential  power. 
Harding's  witty  sports  announcements.  Cahill's  amazing  balance  of  work  and  play.  How  can 
we  forget  Bianchi's  sideburns.  Peter  Kang's  stories  about  everything.  Chiarchossi's  touch- 
down runs  and  Mitchell's  javelin  throws,  a  McConvey  or  Napier  slap  shot,  the  academic 
prowls  of  Jordan  Scopa.  Vince  Ki  or  Richard  Lee.  Patrick  Row's  mathematical  genius. 
Nanni's  classroom  conversations  with  the  teacher.  The  humour  of  Parks  and  Max.  Eccelton's 
fastball.  Ash's  golf  clubs.  Teskey's  concussions.  Joe  Lofranco's  knowledge  of  living  the 

highlight  and  Tony  Lofranco's  really  big ego.  We  will  always  remember  the  parallels 

our  class  has  to  Degrassi  High's.  Rocca's  football  techniques.  Stepura's  workouts.  Simone's 
coolness.  Geaualdi's  power  point  presentations  and  Terrance  Lok's  popularity.  These  are  just 
a  few  of  just  about  200  students,  who  make  our  class  unique.  Within  this  diversity,  one  thing 
constant,  blue  blood  pride. 
On  this  joyous  day,  there  are  many  people  the  graduates  must  thank.  First  and  foremost  our  families,  for  their  sacrifices  and  their 
dedications  of  their  lives  and  patience,  so  that  we  may  be  raised  under  the  best  circumstances.  To  the  Basilian  Fathers  whose  vocation 
created  such  a  wonderful  school.  To  our  teachers  who  have  given  us  guidance  and  taught  us  Goodness.  Discipline  and  Knowledge.  But  we 
must  not  forget  to  thank  each  other  for  the  memories  of  a  lifetime.  We  healed  each  other  with  the  times  of  glory  and  encourage  each  other 
with  the  times  of  despair.  Thank  you.  especially,  for  those  teachers  who  retire,  your  dedication  to  teaching  will  always  be  remembered.  A 
special  thank  you  to  Father  Mohan,  our  principle  throughout  our  five  years  here.  He  leaves  us  now  that  is  imprinted  in  our  hearts  the  true 
meaning  of  being  a  St.  Michael's  man.  Graduates  take  a  look  at  each  other,  and  realize  that  you  are  the  class  of  tomorrow,  you  are  the 
future.  Our  success  can  be  seen  that  most  of  us  would  continue  our  education  in  universities  around  the  continent.  And  as  the  class  of 
2000.  we  have  been  given  the  responsibility  of  being  those  who  lead  the  w  orld  into  the  new  millennium.  And  as  we  strike  in  the  world 
trying  to  lead  our  hearts,  we  mustn't  forget  what  we  have  been  taught.  A  true  St.  Mike's  man  would  tell  you  that  it  is  being  Christ  to  others 
and  that  is  the  secret  to  success.  "To  know  one  life  breathed  easier  because  you  have  lived,  this  is  to  have  succeeded."  If  this  is  true,  then 
you  are  all  successful  because  knowing  you  guss  is  the  best  thing  that  has  ever  happened  in  my  life. 

So  go  out  into  the  world  and  become  successful  again.  And  I  know  with  the  help  of  God's  grace,  you  will  continue  to  find  success 
of  the  world  paved  by  us  from  the  Fathers  of  St.  Michael.  After  five  years.  I  wished  I  had  more  to  say  but  I  don't.  All  I  can  do  is  feel  that 
same  bond  that  connects  all  of  us  together  that  runs  through  our  blood  and  into  our  souls.  You  are  all  ray  brothers.  We  went  to  battle 
together.  We  bleed  together.  We  laughed  together.  We  struggled  together.  We  failed  together.  And  we  succeeded  together.  And  todaj  we 
are  triumphant  once  again.  And  so  I  say  Thank  You.  for  the  times  you  have  given  to  me.  The  memories  are  all  to  m\  heart.  And  now  thai 
we  have  come  to  end  of  our  rainbow,  there  is  just  one  thing  to  say:  whenever  you  are  down  and  out.  and  you  feel  that  you  can't  make  it. 
Remember  who  you  are  and  where  you  came  from.  Let  that  double  blue  pride  come  out  and  help  you.  And  say  to  yourself  the  cheer  that 
we  have  done  thousands  of  times.  "Let's  go  double  blue,  double  blue  go.  let's  go."  Thank  you.  1  love  you  all  and  maj  God  bless.

CISAA  Champions 


Stiff  competition  in  the  TDCAA  East  Division  led 
the  Blue  Raiders  to  a  nine  and  four  regular  season 
and  fifth  place.  An  unlucky  draw  saw  the  Blue 
Raiders  face  the  eventual  league  champions  from 
Jean  Vanier.,  in  quarter  final  action.  Immersed  in  a 
gym  location  controversy  and  score  clocks  not 
working,  the  Blue  Raiders  fell  71-59.  In  CISAA 
action,  the  team  went  undefeated  and  posted  a 
14-0  record;  defeating  local  rivals  Upper  Canada 
College  71-57  in  the  Raider  Dome  to  take  the  title. 
The  Varsity  Blue  Raiders  were  Consolation 
Champs  at  the  Silverthorn  Invitational;  Champions 
at  the  Hillfield-Strahallen  Invitational:  Champions 
at  the  Queen's  University  Tournament  and  Finalist 
at  the  St.  Michael's  Invitational,  losing  to  Oakwood 
High  School  .  62-56.  The  varsity  team  graduates 
only  one  player  and  returns  nine  so  the  future  is 
bright  for  the  Blue  Raiders  next  year.

The  young  Junior  Basketball  team  had 
a  very  successful  year  considering  the 
number  of  Juniors  playing  at  the  Senior 
level.  A  second  place  finish  in  the 
private  schools  league  was  a  good  first 
time  effort  by  the  Juniors. 
Prinz  Collantes  was  the  main  man  on 
the  Junior  Blue  Raiders  all  year.  As 
point  guard  he  handled  the  ball  well 
and  made  good  decisions  on  the  court, 
helping  to  steady  a  young  team.  Prinz 
lead  the  team  in  three-  point  shooting 
and  overall  shooting  percentage.

Senior  Soccer 


St.  Michael's  Blue  Azzurri  posted  a  winning  season  with  a  3-1-2  record 

placing  third  in  a  seven  -team  league.  In  tournament  play  the  Blue  Azzuris  were  two  time  semi- 
finalists.  In  the  28  team  York  University  tourney  they  reached  the  semi-  finals.  They  repeated  their 
semi-  finalist  role  in  the  24-  team  O'Connor  Tourney. 

Injuries  to  key  players  hampered  the  team's  play  off  efforts  but  the  horizon  brightens  considerably 
when  we  find  that  eleven  of  the  seventeen  starters  of  this  past  season  will  return  next  year. 
INSIDE  THE  AZZURRI:  Pierre  Grossi  was  co-captain  of  the  Azzurri  and  a  tireless  mid-fielder 
often  leading  the  attack  with  great  skill  and  finesse.  Pierre  led  the  Azzurri  with  eight  goals  in  the 
indoor  and  outdoor  matches.  Unfortunately  Pierre  was  injured  just  prior  to  the  play-off  and  his 
absence  was  sorely  felt  by  the  offensive. 


Players  from  Grade  Thirteen  included:  John  Bianchi,  Steve  Bulfon,  Pierre 
Grossi,  Mike  Kim,  J. P.  Nangini,  Mike  Santoro,  John  Toto,  J. P.  Woods, 
Gianfranco  Tamburrini,  John  DiVizio,  Justin  Hospedales,  Michael  Rini  and 
Anthony  Scocco. 

From  Grade  Eleven:  Stefano  Gatta,  Paolo  Korre  and  Frank  Petrasso 
From  Grade  Ten:  George  Polyzois

This  year's  Senior  Blue  Strikers  were  expected 
to  be  in  a  rebuilding  year  with  many  new  faces, 
but  it  soon  became  evident  that  this  team  could 
compete  with  some  of  the  best  teams  in  the 
province.  The  team  jelled  in  the  playoffs  but 
eventually  lost  to  the  provincial  silver  medalist, 
the  Francis  Liebermann  Falcons  in  the  TDCAA 
finals.  Best  of  luck  to  the  graduating  seniors,

ublin,  Ireland  was  the  location  of 
a  Summer  School  for  a  group  of 
St.  Michael's  students  in  July  1999 
who  were  studying  English  .  The 
teacher  who  travelled  with  them  was 
Mr.  Joe  Younder  former  head  of  St. 
Mike's  English  department  and  now 
retired.  Mr.  Younder  taught  at  SMC  for 
over  twenty  five  years  and  contributed 
greatly  in  many  areas  to  what  St. 
Michael's  is  today.

A  Break 

To  Remember 


Thank  you  Mr.  McCann, 

Mr.  &  Mrs.  Catton,  Fr. 

Watrin  and  Fr.  Kennedy 

for  making  this  trip 

possible! 


■i  I 


Where's  the  beach?  It's  over  there...!

^2000 


During  the  March  break,  Mr. 
Peter  McCann  and  eleven  Gr. 
12  students  travelled  to  the 
Basilian  Mission  in  Castries, 
St.  Lucia.  There  we  tried  to 
embody  the  Spirit  of  St. 
Michael's  by  becoming  active 
in  the  local  parish  and  the 
community.  During  our  stay, 
we  were  able  to  complete 
various  projects  such  as 
repainting  the  roof  of  the 
parish  church,  building  an  out 
house  for  a  single  mother  and 
her  children,  and  laying  the 
foundation  for  a  new  house. 
We  also  organized  a  daily 
bible  study  and  sports  camp 
for  the  local  children. 


The  St.  Lucia  trip  was  an  awesome  experience.  It  exposed 
us  to  some  of  the  real  poverty  of  the  world  and  showed  us 
how  fortunate  we  really  are  living  in  Canada.  If  you  have  a 
chance  to  go  on  this  trip  in  upcoming  years,  take  advantage 
of  the  opportunity.  You'll  never  forget  it!

The  St.  Mike's  Programming  Club  takes  part  in  the  American  Computer  Science  League  (ACSL) 
where  students  get  a  chance  to  compete  against  some  of  the  best  high  school  programmers  in  North 
America.  The  league  runs  four  contests  annually  and  requires  students  to  learn  about  programming 
related  topics  as  well  as  write  individual  computer  programs.  This  year  St.  Mike's  entered  two 
teams,  an  Intermediate  Five  man  team  (consisting  mainly  of  grade  12  Computer  Science  students) 
and  a  Senior  Five  man  team  (OAC  students).  A  total  of  thirty-five  SMC  students  took  part  in  this 
years  ACSL  competition. 

For  the  past  five  years  St.  Mike's  has  been  successful  at  placing  at  least  one  team  in  the  top  15 
schools  in  the  ASCL.  This  year  the  Intermediate  Five  team  finished  eighth  and  were  invited  to  the 
ASCL  Ail-Star  competition  held  in  Houston,  Texas  at  Cypress  Springs  High  School.  The  All-Star 
competition  is  extremely  difficult,  and  every  year  St.  Mike's  does  just  a  little  bit  better.  This  year's 
1 2th  place  finish,  marks  the  best  All-Star  result  since  St.  Mike's  entered  the  ACSL  six  \  ears  ago. 
Congratulations  to  all  the  students  who  took  part  during  the  course  of  the  year,  in  particular,  the  five 
students  represented  SMC  at  the  All-Star  Competition:  Bryce  Leung.  Pico  Mak.  Jeff  Mo.  Justin 
Chan  and  Justin  Lee.  St.  Mike's  Computer  Club  also  takes  part  in  the  Waterloo  Computer  Contest. 
This  three-hour  contest  requires  students  to  solve  five  programming  problems.  Thirty-one  SMC 
students  took  part  in  the  contest,  six  of  which  placed  in  the  top  25%.  The  high  score  for  SMC  w  as 
achieved  by  Patrick  Roh,  who  placed  41st  in  Canada.

the  questions  at  Queens  and  even  though  our  budding  geniuses 
gained  the  quarter  finals  they  had  to  be  satisfied  with  seventh  place 
ranking  in  Ontario.  We  are  proud  of  their  achievements

The  Finals 

Kennedy/Cayetano     Giliberto/Czerwinski 


The  first  ever  euchre  tournament  was  held  at  SMC  this  past  Game  13  10 

school  year.  Terry  Douglas,  a  member  of  the  graduating  class.         Game  2  10  3 

took  up  the  gargantuan  task  of  organizing  the  tournament.  Game   3  10  9 

Although  there  were  a  few  communication  problems  at  the 
beginning,  those  issues  were  quickly  resolved  and  it  became 
the  best  euchre  tournament  so  far  in  the  history  of  SMC. 

After  defeating  Anton  Hyginus  and  Rohn  Jackson  in  the  semi-finals,  Fr.  Kennedy  and  Ray  Cayetano  faced  a  struggle  in 
the  finals  versus  J.R  Giliberto  and  Michael  Czerwinski.  Fr.  Kennedy  and  Ray  Cayetano  were  down  9-6  in  the  final  game, 
but  at  the  end.  they  came  up  with  the  victory  and  winning  a  check  for  $60.

The 


ematics  Club 


The  St.  Michael  s 
has  enjoyed  another  successful  year. 
Four  days  a  week  from  Septemher  until 
May.  we  meet  to  either  practice  for  our 
major  competitions  or  write  the  minor 
competitions.   The  major  competitions 
continue  to  be  those  sponsored  by  the 
University  of  Waterloo.  There  are  five 
major  Waterloo  competitions  -  one  for 
each  grade.   It  is  an  outstanding  achieve- 
ment if  a  student  can  make  the  prestig- 
ious Canadian  Honour  Roll  list  on  any 
one  of  these  contests. 

In  November,  John  Paul 
Adamovsky  and  Patrick  Rob  were  Cana- 
dian Honour  Roll  members  on  the  Cana- 
dian Open  Mathematics  Competition. 
Both  of  them  were  also  invited  to  write 
the  Canadian  Olympiad  Competition 
and  we  wish  them  well  in  their  pursuit  of 
a  young  mathematicians  ultimate  accom- 
plishment -  selection  to  the  Canadian 
Mathematics  Olympiad  team.   We  con- 
gratulate all  the  members  of  the  Math 
Club  who  work  many  days  until  4:30 
trying  to  improve  their  problem  solving 
skills.  The  problems  under  considera- 
tion are  often  quite  challenging  and  more 
difficult  than  the  students  would  encoun- 
ter in  their  regular  classes.  If  you  think 
you  might  enjoy  this  challenge,  here  is  an 
example: 

Find  the  sum  of  all  positive  integers 
for  which  n--19n  +  99  is  a  perfect  square. 
Well  done  boys  and  remember  the  motto: 
Solve  problems,  don  t  cause  them

Editor's  Note: 

Another  year  has  gone  by,  and  the  Tower  staff  has  tried  their  best  to  put  together  a  yearbook  that  will  one  day  help 
all  St.  Mike's  students  remember  what  happened  in  2000.  The  theme  of  this  year's  yearbook  is  "  A  new  century,  a  re- 
newed St.  Mike's",  and  that  can  be  seen  with  the  new  wing  that  was  added  onto  the  old  school.  St.  Michael's  College 
School  will  enter  the  2 lsl century  (it  starts  in  2001 !)  as  one  of  the  newest  and  one  of  the  best  schools  in  Canada,  if  not  the 
world.  The  school  will  continue  to  live  up  to  its  motto  of  "Teach  Me  Goodness.  Discipline,  and  Knowledge",  turning 
"boys"  into  St.  Michael's  Men. 


Although  the  yearbook  staff  did  most  of  the  work,  and  would  like  to  take  complete  credit,  there  would  be  no 
yearbook  without  the  help  of  the  school  community.  We  would  like  to  thank  all  the  staff  and  students  who  have  provided 
us  with  information  about  the  various  activities  in  the  school,  who  have  donated  their  time  and  effort,  and  especially  Fr. 
Mohan,  our  principal.  Mr.  Pagano.  our  vice-principal,  and  Fr.  Cullen,  our  yearbook  moderator.  Last  but  not  least,  the 
yearbook  staff  would  like  to  thank  everyone  in  the  school  for  making  2000  a  memorable  \  car.
