Do you ever see the same person or look alike around school? Mater Dei has 6 pairs

of twins and a unique set of triplets. The senior class has Vere and Karla Jaramillo,

Erica and Ernie Silva, Daniella and Daniel Puffelis, and Andrea and Alfredo Lucero.

The junior class has Chloe and Daniel Slovinsky, and of course the only set of triplets

Ana Gabriela, Ana Paola and Assael Madrigal. The underclassmen twins are Rachel and

Ryan. Barletta. It can be very difficult having a twin at your side all the time or sharing

your last name. Take me for example, being a twin mysel{ people always mistake my

sister and me for being the same person. People are always asking twins tons and tons

of questions like "Do you dress alike?", "Do you guys get alongr or even sometimes

"If I hit you, will they feel it?" At times this can become quite annoying, but being a

twin has it's positives too. Even though Mater Dei's pairs are not always together or

might not get along, in the end you can't doubt the fact that they enjoy the other's

company.

You will rarely find these two together but when they are, Rachel and Ryan Barletta have fun together.

Daniel and Chole Slovinsky may be miles apart, with Chloe studying in Spain and Daniel here at Mater Dei, but they are still twins.

one could also say that it is growing back to the strong

faith at Marian. Through the help of compassionate

religion teachers, who take an opportunity to share

their faith, love, and stories of God, students are inspired

and encouraged to believe in Him. As for building

stronger relationships with Christ, students are able to

participate in liturgy, retreats and religious functions

such as Steubenville San Diego. First-timer Laura Soto

says, "It was a lot of fun, not really what I expected! So

many kids my age went and weren't afraid to show

and let everyone know how much they love God. So,

I also got into it. And honestly, my relationship with

God got so much stronger. I wouldn't change my

experience of going to Steubenville for anything."

Crusaders are very proud of their academic achievements. Two groups that

help recognize the students' achievements and great academics are the

National Honor Society and the California Scholastic Federation. To be

a member in NHS, you must be recommended by a teacher, and then

�ret approved by panel of teachers. After this process an interview takes

place, based on questions that include how involved you are in school

and about your great academics. In order to qualify for CSF, students must

accumulate a certain amount of points from their classes and their grades

for a semester. However, this process is a bit more complicated than it

sounds. Both these group focus on having good grades in school. The

difference between these two groups is that NHS is only given once while

CSF is earned every semester.

Whenever you need a good old­fashioned Mater Dei welcome, call in the Ambassadors for Christ Corps. These students dress for success when they are called upon to do service for the school. From Japanese students to eighth graders, the Ambassadors make sure that everyone who visits the campus feels at home. Outside of school, you can see the Ambassadors giving food to the homeless as well as visiting elementary schools to tell them about our campus. Mater Dei boosts an 88 person Ambassador

E What a thrilling experience to travel across the world, leaving your family and friends to learn in a different country. Your surroundings are different, the food you eat is different, even attitudes are different. This is a big challenge for San Hee Lee, Navenett Chothra, Yin Li and Chaiyaphat Wosoomthara, but they can handle it. They are intelligent individuals. Ghothra explains that in Germany the school system is very different compared to the US. "We attend first through twelfth grades all in one school. School starts very early in the morning and we don't leave until very late at night." Our exchange students tend to adapt to the

His music is not boring at all. It is fun and very energetic." When Chip is not jamming to music, he likes to teach Ameriaans a little bit of his native language, Thai. If he could teach one word to Americans he would teach, "Sa Wud Dee." That's Thai for "hello." All the foreign exchange students are experiencing a great time in Am

This year we are blessed to have a strong ASB committee that has created opportunities to make many memories for our school. Our president Johanna Rhein says, "I am so happy and proud of all that we have accomplished. I could not have asked for a better ASB." They come together as a family and try their best to make their fellow students happy. We are blessed to have a very talented ASB this year. Having a fun and exciting spirit week brought everyone together as a school. Some days included Nerd Day, Hero/Villan Day, Decade Day and Blue and Gold Day, everyone loved it. The hard-working ASB

has meetings every Tuesday at 7:30 in the morning to make plans for upcoming events. We got very lucky this year to have KUSI news at our school. ASB stayed up all night to get the work done. During the Christmas season out ASB wanted to give gifts to children, so they found a girls orphanage in Tijuana. This not only make the orphans happy, but also the fellow ASB members. The ASB goal is to help everyone, not just people in our school. Once a month we have dollar jean day and all the money goes to various charities. With that being said our ASB is amazing we could not have had a more .spi�d •

Christ "If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that change." Those famous words sung by Michael Jackson have influenced people worldwide, but ever think about the change you can make within your own student body? That's where Campus Ministry comes in. Moderated by Mr. Schnitzius with the assistance of Ms. DiTommaso, juniors and seniors are able to lead the underclassman into building an intimate relationship with God. From sharing personal experiences to planning for upcoming liturgical celebrations and retreats, Campus Ministers demonstrate their Catholic faith and teach underclassman how to become true stewards of Christ. Melinda Jernigan exclaims, "Just knowing that I am helping others grow as a Catholic helps me grow physically and spiritually as well." So lift those heavy hearts, Crusaders and get rid of those burdens. Make that adjustment. With the spiritu?ii

EiC Angie O'Conner is constantly editing and sending off finished pages to be placed in the yearbook

Yearbook! When you hear that word it sounds exciting yet stressful at the same time. Creating the yearbook is hard work, just ask EiC Angie O' Connor, she created the layouts and designs for this year's book as well as its theme, "Ten" in honor of the Class of 2010s graduating seniors. I can tell you from a photo editor's perspective that taking pictures, uploading, and placing pictures onto pages becomes a daily routine. But we didn't finish the book alone. We had the help of 10 other seniors and one junior who often stayed after school writing captions, copy, and getting last minute pictures

�aken. Although we face stress throughout the entire yearbook""4'>rocess we cant wait to see our hardwork and effort come into play

at the end�f the year. Yearbooks are hard to create but it wouldn't b · le without the kodak moments and awesome memories

Did you know that 150 children die from abortion in one hour? Mater Dei is not just a high school that directs its students only to academics and sports. Here at MDCHS there is a variety of clubs and organizations and the students can participate and get involved in. Ms. Salazar is the moderator of the Pro-Llfe club here at school The goal of this club is to protect life at a very young age. This club provides students with a different view and to be aware of the importance of life. Pro-Llfe teaches that abortion is wrong and not �affects the mother and child that go through it, but also the fa�y and friends around you. Students here at Mater Dei do so much to suppolt Pro-Llfe. Many times they will put up flags and

the greater good.

Flags Up! Nora Leyva and Yazmin Razon put flags up on the lawn to represent all the babies who lost their lives.

Hallelujer The Senior Retreat was a rite of passage for all the students who attended. Everyone realized that what once seemed like an eternity ahead of them as they came in as freshman was now quickly dwindling to a few precious weeks together. This senior class had a special bond: they were the last class from Marian and will be the last class to remember both schools. This and the retreat itself brought the students into a deep and emotional bond. The theme, Don't Hold Back from Loving God hit the mark. Inspired by great talks from former Crusaders, Karina and Jazmynn Himan as well as a chance to form a pottery vase while Ms. Kelleher talked about God as the potter and a talk by Mr.

Schnitzius on what to expect and plan for in college, there was a lot to think about. Confessions and adoration were also part of the plan and for many it was a time to let down the barriers and let God in. But of course the time spent with friends and classmates was the most fun. The guys engaged in horseplay all night long making it impossible for chaperones Mr. Rice and Mr. Schnitzius to sleep al wink. The girls had a lively night too, either screaming because they were scared of some imagined threat or getting yelled at by others who were actually trying...to sleep. Sleepy-eyed, but happy, everyon�t: came back as a class that had beeu� · � but now was reunited.

The debate team faced clashing practices every Wednesday and Thursday and occasionally on Friday. Because the debate team wg brand new they had many scrimmages with our old roommates High Tech High. Some resulted in wins and some in losses. During the winter the team competed in tournaments, though they dj.�not win it left the team hungry for next season.

If we are lucky in life, we don't get called too many bad names. No matter what the sticks and stones jingle says, words hurt. But words can also be the best... a blessing, a balm that takes away pain, makes us feel special, super, safe. We love to hear loving words. And here are a few of the ones we hear around here. They are terms of endearment. Mr. Milke likes to call people "kiddo," and "tiger." He even calls the teachers these names. Ms. Angeles and Mr. Brunner use Spanish variants. Ms. Angeles says, "Mija or mijo." Mr. Brunner calls his kids, "Hijo or hija." "Ms. Limoges also calls people "Ladies and Gentleman." But when she's feeling not quite so formal she calls them all, "Luv." Mr. Kroon has a special phrase for his floor Ball team. They are "Nerds on Ice." How

. Icool is that? Ms. Kelleher uses a dozen terms: " ngel, Sweetheart, Honey, Good looking" are a few, but she has one exclusive one just for Anthony Warner. "He's my An teddy Bear or Teddy Bear for short." That nickname is always good for at least one hug. Ms. Alvarado, AKA "Mom," has one nickname for all her kids, "My babies." And even though Ms. Brown is an English teacher, she uses the German and French sobriquets, "Fraulein and Mademoiselle." Gut and tres bien. And now we'll end with Ms. Adams, who tops them all with just a few, "Honey, Sweetie, Girlie, Punkin, Princess, Prince, Sweet Pea, Babe, Friend, punkin pie." How delicious! Endearing tenns make everyone feel good!

Diana Paredes To Our Beautiful "Baby Girl,"

We can't believe that you are graduating from high school already. It seems like yesterday that you were starting kinder­

garten and were refusing to wear the shirt underneath the school jumper. You thought it looked so much better without it! From that point forward, we knew your school days would

be fun and interesting ... to say the least.

We are very grateful to the wonderful friends you havepiade throughout the years. Because of them and your family, you

have grown up to become an incredible woman. Mija, always be true to yoursel£ Never let anything or anyone stand in

the way of your dreams. Keep reaching for the stars ... you can achieve everything you've always dreamed of

Words cannot express how proud we are of you and all of your accomplishments. To us, you're already a "superstar!"

Love, Papa, Mama, Paquito, Maya & Chiquita

Stephanie Sanz

Stephanie, We have so much faith in you

because we know how much strength and courage you have inside you. We want you to remember the following and hope it brings a smile to your face ... never forget what a treasure you are and no matter where you go, our hearts and hopes for you will travel beside you every step of the way.

We wish you all the best in life. Take it and share it with others. Please let nothing keep you from growing into the person you wish to be. May God bless you always.

Love, Papa, Mama, your sisters & abuelitas, family, Reyna ( dog), Co coy (fish)

�J#Je. a ekci#i6Ul, triaReloua son, unique witti your own ideas, and abilities. You are leav.,ng • dhd&f'to become a young man at 18 years old, and so grown. When you look back think back of all the happy times that you gave us and the smiles you brought to the family. That is why there are not enough words or expressions that can describe the great memories, pride, and gratitude that come from having a son to love and to cherish like you. You are so special and you have made us very proud of you in your accomplishments and in so many ways. You have a pure, giving, and amazing soul.

Graduating from high school will leave memories behind like academic league, volley­ball, cross country, chess club, teachers, classmates, friends, and Kermy, yet the future has many more open doors of opportunities. The sacrifices that you have made staying up late, missing out on fun events, and working hard will soon payoff. You have gone through a-lot and we know that you have done all of this because you want to be prepared for a better future but also to please us. We "Thank You So Much" Going to college is one door that will be a new exciting challenge, yet beautiful experience of your life. You have the ability to be what­ever you choose to be and the very best at it. Keep your enthusiasm to learn, have a great atti­tude, stay focused, aim for your goals, work hard at them just as if they were fuel for your body, and use your time wisely. Put your heart into everything you do, set up your own stan­dards striving to be the best, and live up to them. Have integrity and good ethics in all that you do. If you want it from within it's going to happen because you have what it takes and once you have reached your goals enjoy them.

There will be times of tough challenges in your future but always keep your strong faith and God will be right beside you to lead you and protect you. Learn from your mistakes for they will teach you some valuable lessons.

This is the rd volume of the Mat<:,r Dei Catholic High Schobl, Gauntlet It is the first , book done virtually by the staff. After 13 year­books Ms. Kelleher de­cided to step back and be an adviser.

Consequently our yearbook experience was interesting to say the least. The most experience we had under any of our belts was one year includ­ing me, the editor. We struggled, made mistakes, learned a ton and some­how we managed to finish a book that we hope you will enjoy.

This book was printed by HerffJones Yearbooks in Marceline, Missouri. It was serviced by representatives Steve and Tamra Bailey, and customer service adviser Amanda Stufflebean.

The cover was cho­sen by the staff. The colors are based off on school colors with some added colors and the design was made by HerffJones. Our theme is "Ten" because we are the graduating class of 2010.

ny but touched by our Editor -in - Chie( me. For o basic font we used Jessica, for our headlines we used Antique Ollve compact. We also used DGSirGG .. here and there, and last for the senior section we used Veanna Script.

In order to get this job done we had our amazing iMacs and In­Design CS3. Thankfully Mr. Bookser and Nick Day helped us with the computer glitches. We also owe special thanks to Ariel Cabrera and Kristen Gonzales who helped proof the book: the perfect pages are theirs, the others we have to take responsibility for.

It is a full color book with 200 pages. Besides having some of our blood, sweat and tears, it in­cludes many memories we hope you all will look back on and cherish.

As an editor I have learned how important it is to be organized and responsible. I have also learned that it's harder to get others to do things than to do them yourself but you have to delegate anyhow. In the end the yearbook took the best days of our lives in the school year of'l0.
