Our (Principals Message
^7}^? Students oj St- /KlchaeL's
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.
t
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.

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-

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

and senselessness on both

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,
Paul Casciato

When my high school experience is remembered,
it seems like ;in eternity of time. But is 5400 hours
of school really such a long time? The answer is
both yes and no. Depending on whether or not I
spent my time working on stage crew, doing AV
with Mr. G. watching movies with the SFA swim-
ming on the team, or a multitude of others. When
1 wasn't, high school felt like eternity. I'll be most
ecstatic to finish SMC. though when I look back
tin the best times of my life, I'll miss the double

Too much to say and too little room. It's been a
great 5 years. The old yellow bricks will always
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.
John Paul Adamovsky
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

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

10-12 English). Word up to the crew: Avery,
Lankin, Terry, Pat, Nick, Kenny. Chun, T.A. Law-

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.

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,

sporting life and passing plays with Just, golf

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
Lagamba. Also special thanks to Mr. Narducci
and to Mr. McKernan for adding life to Math and
English and to Mrs. McDougall for French and
the trips associated with it. To Champion, the
second cup manager, the crazy pool shot, and
Signor-Gary. To Tough guy, donit hurt anybody
in university, and to coca roach, well... you're just

slackers, shooters, and ravers, — later!!!

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

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.

to my capable potential. As 1 leave, I bring along
memories: .Ir. Baseball \2, Sr. Baseball X3

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!

Mr Fischer for his hard work with the PC As-

There are many things that I will miss when I
leave. I will miss having to do up my top but-
ton, I will miss having to give Father Zinger all
my money, 1 will miss ha\ing to shave on a regu-
lar basis, and will especially miss having to wake
up early every morning and seeing these yel-
low bricks. Thanks to all the teachers and staff
especially BOC (Andy R), SHLEB (Steve R),
Tony Land Billy A. I congratulate you guys and
best of luck in the future.

appreciate all that you have done for me over the
years. Here's to great times ahead. Cheers!

ends with "Ralph". Acapulco 2000, and all the
others I forgot Special thanks to fellow busdriver
J.P - we are the undisputed SMC gettoni champs

Thanx to all the boys (you know who you are) for
making these 5 years fly by. I'll never forget the
good times. Ciao

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

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
final four), to Mr. Shannon and the alpine ski team
(sorry about OFSAA! ), to my mom and dad fi ir with-
out their support (and wallets) 1 would never have
experienced this very special of schools, and to all
my classmates who made it a pleasure to come to
school each day. "Only those who risk going too far
can possibly find out how far one can go" (T.S.

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

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.

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.

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

Kearnal, 'Hossauce'. Glover chats. Gerald. Skip-

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-

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-

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!
James Jeong
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?

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
friends.

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.

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.

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,

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-

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.
Raymond Mendoza
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.

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.

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

But most of all! thank my parents.

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.

As I look back at the five years I spent at SMC I
have no regrets. I would like to first thank my
parents for supporting me through these last
five years. Without them I could have never
done it. I would also like to thank the boys for
all the great times. Without you the great
memories of Festa '99 and Tony's cottage could
never come about. Special thanks go out to
cousin Shelb, Billy, Boc, Tony. Itsa'Mike and
Adam for making the days go by so much faster
than black thunder & to Shidada. keep it big. I
could have never imagined what school would
have been like if I had not beaten Billy in go-
karting, or if Tony never got into accidents with
his cars. Who could forget Doyle stealing my
lunch th.it Nonna made or Adam scorching me
for no apparent reason. Remember where you

Time's up. The clock's ticking and it's come time

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

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

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

I came. I saw. and will always remember there
have been good times and bad, new lessons

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.

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

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.

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..

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
- I'll think of a way to pay you guys back.

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.

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

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.

"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.
96
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.

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

*:
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,

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
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.
