UNLOCKING THE MEMORIES

Time to Remember

c:;;i;ve, ten or even twenty years from

now, what will be the treasured mem-

ories of this school year) Of course, we

will recall the big events and the im-

portant people - - the plays and cru-

cial games , the holidays and celebra-

tions, the special friends and teachers.

However, the memories will also in-clude those small quiet times that will

make this year live on tn our

minds--studying in the sun after a

month of rain, playing the spooky bells

that sounded like Halloween, watching

in ama zement as a science lab really

worked. All these moments, pur to

gether, have made this year a time to

remember.

''My best

memory of thisschool year is . .

"Christmas. I liked bringing food

for people who needed it. I also was

in The Twelve Days of Christ

mas and I sang in the Posada."

- -Rebecca Mejia, 4th grade

"The middle school Lock-In, espe

cially the free time when you could

roller blade and climb the wall."

- -Ky l e de Beaussett & Bianca

Brady, 6th grade

"Sitting up in Rapunzel's rower be-

ing exceedingly bored. The majorproblem was pulling up the witch

and not falling myself." - -Pa ige

Cunningham, lOth grade

Elementary music class is fun, even if some 4th graders get mixed up playing a clapping game.

emories Are

Made of This

mmories are being created every day as we come up

the hill to Colegio Maya. From that dreaded first day of

school until rhe end of the year, countless images, activities,

and people contribute to the memories rhar we will carry

away with us. Ir might be the lirrle things rhar stick in the

mind - talking with your friends each day, attending acertain class, or raking your bus to and from school. Or

maybe ir will be rhe big events which you will remember

more - rhe high school plays, clash of colors, or an AASCA

sports tournament. Whether you are in Kindergarten or a

Senior in high school, you will develop your own unique

image of this school year, and you will carry ir with you

throughout your life. We hope rhar rhis yearbook will help

"lock in rhe memories" of rhis year.

T imes We Will Never Forge1

%1e most memorable times are those

when older students can share learning ex

periences with younger children. Seniors had

an on-going project with their first grade

buddies that benefitted both groups. Soph

omores shared games that they created in

math class with Kinder students. Middle

school Spanish classes rook puppet shows ro

a school in Antigua, and worked with thechildren there, while the relationship be

tween the school and the Penn at project for

children of the markets continued .

Sharing with younger students are (top and

From the desks of ...

Dear Graduates,It is with pride that I pen this message of congratulations to you, the Colegio Maya

Class of 1998. In addition to your academic and athletic successes, you have

demonstrated an un paralleled ability to cope with the loss of several of your

classmates. Your efforts over the last three years to ease the pain of the family and

friends of those we lost will remain forever in my heart an d mind. Yo u leave Maya

with a solid academic background and an ability to handle the unexpected with

compassion an d dignity. We, the administration, teachers an d staff are proud of

you and wish you well as you head of f to face the challenges of the future .

Visit us when you can, keep us informed of your whereabouts, and let us know of

your accomplishments.

Fred Pasquale

Director

hope is that as Colegio Maya alumni look back at this yearbook, they will have fond

of their times here at Maya. I trust that they will use the stories and pictures

to serve as reminders of friends and classmates. I also believe that the teachers and

Maya work hard to create the lifelong memories mentioned above.

of Colegio Maya to remember the diversity of the student

of everyone who helped

is one I refer to as the "Attitude Rule". That is, approach

is when you put this attitude into acrion 1!

Making Growing Up Worthwhile

To the Senior Class of l998 I would like to say good luck and leave you with this

kind thought: school is all about growing up, and growing up is only possible with

friends. Where would we be without somebody to share our discussions, quell our

confusion, and push us on 1 Without friends, our memories would be empty, our

happiness lacking, and our future inconceivable. "As you leave Colegio Maya

remember that it has been more that a simple school.. . it's people and friends ...

The kind of friends who make growing up worthwhile ."

CJM went to the Hyatt Hotel on a field trip with our class

because Pary's father works there. We cooked pies and we ate

them. You have to wear a special hat to cook. Here is our

recipe for pie:

First you take fruits , not vegetables, fruits like strawberries

and apples.

Then you mix up dough and put in the fruit.

Then you cook it in the oven and then you eat it.

Step Two: Get some fruit.

Step Four: Bake and eat.

~ t is always fun to get away from school on a field trip. Middle

school students had the opportunity to participate in two verydifferent kinds of trips off campus. Spanish classes prepared puppet

shows for a group of street children in Antigua, and also helped them

with a writing workshop. They not only wrote the scripts for the

plays, but they also designed and sewed the puppets. Students were

able interact with the younger children as they helped them with

their writing. In February, the entire middle school visited the

Papalote M6vil, a children's museum visiting from Mexico. There

was barely enough time to experience all the interactive exhibits and

to build an enormous Lego tower.

Young Suk Hwang, Santiago Cortez, Jeremy Berke and Marcel Bergon

zoli, top, see sound waves in water. Lewis Grell makes music as Rishi

Bond, Ben Shaw-Wood, Mark Lent, Josiah Fernandez and Diego Werren

proudly display their tower, ond Amechi Adamson makes an impression.

~ a t ' s the best part of the school day?

Some secondary students just might answer

that they enjoy transition second only to

lunch . Transition is those 20 minutes between

the long stretch of 80 minute classes when

students can relax and prepare for the rest of

the day . Some people sit out in the sun with

their friends, or eat . Others use the computers

in the library, or eat. Some high school students

work with younger children, or others eat . Still

others use the time to go to the gym and work

off some excess energy, or, yes, to eat . All

would agree, change the schedule if needed,

but don't change transition.

TRANSITION

A variety of ways to

spend rransirion in-

clude: Adrian Devoro

cena in rhe weighr

room, senior girls with

their lst grade bud-

dies, yearbook sraff

members sharing food,

drink and sun, andRishi Bond doing

It is quite hard to believe that I'm already graduating. During my 5

years of life in Guatemala, I could never find composure in my

mind, but I think all those times existed to make me stronger after

all. There is someone very special in my life, to whom I always

wanted to say "thank you". I want to thank him at this moment for

the first time. Hyoung! Thank You! Thank you for being always right

beside me. Your smile will always remain inside my heart. Without

you I do not exist.

Well, I'm finally graduating!

Bye Colegio Maya! Adios Guatemala!

the Power

Mayan Sports

~ a r r i v e d at Maya in 1991 expecting to find a formal PE and athletic program in place complete

with facilities , varsity and junior varsity level reams, and a regular season for each sport. I also

expected to find players physically ready, motivated , and used to playing competitively. Soon

reality appeared as I began ''coaching" the girl's high school volleyball ream. They spoke of

playing 9 people per side, were unsure of rules, and did not consider swearing part of practice.

Actually, practice wasn't considered an important parr of athletics. More imporranr were nails,

which ea rrings to wear in front of the speccators, and how the shorts fir. Motivation to become

bener was tough, so I resortedto .. .

Roses! Roses were given for practicing, playing hard, and yes,even sweating! I am very happy to see that our current reams have come a long way since then, and

hope that they continue to develop. - - J e f f Fifield

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,

For they have their own thoughts.You may house their bodies but not their souls,

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even

in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

~ a c h year as the new yearbook staff meers during the last weeks of

August, they must make rhe decisions that will guide rhe course of

the book's development. They debate the theme and ride, as well as

choose graphic elements to carry our the theme. This year's staff, led

by editors Robin Orlansky and Alice Chen, voted to work on the

theme of memories, and were dedicated to rhe principal that this

yearbook would reflect the experiences of the e ntire school. They were

also firm in their vision rhar the book would contain more of the

written word coming from sources all around the school , following

rhe lead of junior Gustavo Andrade. With a brand new camera,

photOgraphers Peter Benson (fellow fan of rhe Redskins and Orioles),

Woo Chul Hwang, Alex Perricivec, and Mario Chicas were able ro

shoot less film and still have more than enough quality pict ures ro fill

rhe pages of this book. Other staff members, Mary Joe Lent, senior

ediror, Alison Swartz, elementary editor, Michelle Flores, middle

school editor, Julio Pong, Kristen Gonzalez, Michelle Wiater, JiHy

un Yoo, the super cropper, and Ivy Chen worked hard ro produce a

quality book . A few middle school students must be thanked as well

for working as messengers, photographers, and interviewers when the

regular staff was in class: Ai Hattori, Danielle McKnight, Maria

Meriwether, Vanessa Wiater , Lannie McKnight, and Sarah Liv-

ermore. This book would nor be a reality without rhe help of Aida

Tsuji who saw rhar our pages were sent to Dallas with all due haste,

Sandy Russell, our sales rep from Taylor Publishing, and the Colegio

Maya Administration and Board who generously support the pub-

lication. My personal thanks to my family who breathe a loud sigh of

relief when the final deadline is mer and things go back to noma!,

until the next August.

On behalf of the yearbook staff and myself, I would like to proudly

present this key to rhe Colegio Maya community. Through rhe

pictures and words on these pages, unlock the memories of the 1997-

1998 school year an d keep them with you forever.

Yearbook staff members are also dedicated participants in other school activities. Michelle Wiater and Gustavo Andrade,

juniors, work on Michelle 's shoe before they both play in volley ball games. Alison Swartz reads to elementary students in her

role as the baker's wife in Into the Woods.

Cloll.lf9 ~ BfXJk~ have woven our memories through, strand by strand , like each

thread of sugar in a cloud of cotton candy. This book is like the

candy vender at the corner of the street. As we taste the sweetness, we

remember the footprints we left behind, all the mu d we once rolled

in , the trees and mondy bars we climbed on ( or fell of f of) , all the

games we played, all the challenges we had to take, all the jokes and

fights we shared , all the songs we sang, all theM & M's we tossed in

the air and caugh t or missed ... we surely came a long way'

As the river keeps flowing, the earth keeps turning and the sun keeps

rising and setting, there are many things we unwillingly have to leave

behind. But wair...see that rainbow ahead of us> There's so much

more on the other side! We've go t to cross it...
