Though the Christian Patri­ ots were formidable opponents, the Cru­ saders literally ran over them. With the score (Patriots 7 and Crusaders 0) in the first quarter, the Marian Crusaders got fired up and took the lead without ever relinquishing it again. With the final score (Crusaders 46 and Patriots 31 ), Marian gained yet another victory. As the halftime show was concerned,it was one which no one could ever forget. Right after the second quarter, the Marian Spirit Leaders and Tall Flags Team took the turf. The size of their squad did not reflect upon their performance, for it was one of immense proportions. And ''Yess'' it is true, Yessinia Martinez took the crown to become the 64th Homcorning Queen in Marian's history. All events of this day can be summed up in two words: "We Won!"

October 12, 1993 was the night to hold on to. The Officer's Club at the Marine Corps Re­ cruiting Depot (M.C.R.D.) was just right for our lively Homecoming Dance. Every­ body had a great time danc­ ing or helping themselves to the horsd'oeuvres table. Wh en JaBari Brown (B.M.O.C.) and Yessenia Martinez (Homecoming Queen) took the dance floor, they were soon joined by the rest of the court and slow­ danced to ''Hold on to the Night.'' It was the perfect scene. The memories of that night would surely be re­ membered. iO 11 Once more, Marian held its annual spirit week. This was the time in which the entire school demonstrated its enthusiasm. Many individuals were willing to discard their fashion sense (and dignity) and dress a little below their normal standards. The adminis­ tration also made sure this was not a period in which the school was being evaluated by the district. Spirit week served to kick off the traditional homecoming event. This included the spirit rally, game, and dance. Both the teachers and students joined the excitement. Everyone was caught up in the fun as they competed to see who would go to the farthest extreme to show their spirit. Jon George and James Pires showing their blue and gold.

Marian stu­ dents attended school as babies, as twins, and as hip­ pies. They came in their pajamas and in their school colors, blue and gold, to show their Marian pride.

Not only did we have a cheer squad but also a flag and dance team. Our Crusader spirit just kept rock.in' the house at rallies and sporting events. Behind us all was our "mother spirit leader," Ms. Vivio. With her guidance and discipline we were de­ termined to reach our greatest potential. Being captain of the cheer squad has taught me leadership and responsibility. This was the best of the three years I cheered for Marian. My most embarrass­ ing moment was when I was swinging on the goal posts and I fell on my back and showed my rear end to everyone! I en­ joyed cheerleading and I hope to pursue it in my future. I love you, Spirit Leaders '93-'94. -Captain Tina Quillope Flag Team he Flag Team worked hard since last TJune to try to make it the best team Marina has ever had. Even though we only had six members, we strived our best to accomplish our goals. After attending USA camp at U.C.S.C., we won many group and individual awards. We not only gained discipline and experience, we gained five new friends. -Janice Chang Kelly San Martin ROM LETT TO RIGHT: TOP ROW­ Advisor Gina vivio, Anjanette Bara­ jas,F Florence Escudero, Kristina Quillope, Erika Sandoval.

''Students Off Campus,'' What does it really mean? It means something fairly simple: Activities students do during their own leisure time.

Even teachers chaperoning could not resist dancing. A table of scrumptious food stretched alongside a wall. No one could resist a break from dancing to pick some up. The dance was attend­ ed by 80 students, who saved this priceless mem­ ory by taking portraits. 19 !/tonzantic.9 Maritza, When I first met you four years ago, I fell in love with you.
