Final Thoughts From Your Co-Editors:

his school year has brought many changes to Maryknoll and its students. With the Seniors being placed into the Essential School program,

TMaryknoll’s entire student body is now one. Tribute ’97 is a recollection of what has brought all Spartans together. It is what binds the
memories of this school year together.
For the first time, the Tribute staff is consisted of both Juniors and Seniors. This did not hinder us at all. We were able to come together as a class
to produce Tribute ’97. It was a lot of hard work, and thanks to everyone, we did it!
To the Tribute Staff of 1997- Stacie, Kelly, Jayna, Tim, Teresa, Shellene, Katie, Rachelle, Taiia, and Laura-thank you for fusing together to
make our class more enjoyable and unconstrained. Also, many many thanks to Mr. Elliott Chamizo for bringing his whimsical attitude and ideas to
our class and into Tribute ’97.
As you flip through the pages of Tribute ’97, remember that it is through the merging of student ideas and activities that memories are made
With everyone united, the memories are more precious than ever. This is because each and every one of you represent the U in Unity.
