Page 72 - CBA 1987 YEARBOOK

It was a crisp, clear October morning. The dew was dripping from the grass and the trees had already begun to shed their leaves. It looked to be a beautiful morning. But it did not matter, because we had to go to school. However, this morning was to be different be­ cause it was the day of our senior retreat.
Wearrived at theparking lot ofSt. Andrew's around 8 :15 a.m. Everybody looked drowsey and tired and did not seem to be enjoying the weather. We all stood on the rock driveway looking confused and not knowing what to reaily do now that we had arrived. Finaliy, someone rounded us up and brought us into the base­ ment of the church for coffee and doughnuts. There they took attendence and the day began.
We listened to a speaker, watched a movie on Ei Salvador that seemed to be more personal than reli­ gious, but at the same time taught us a lot. Lunch was served and we proceeded upstairs for an Eastern Rite iiturgy. This was an eniightening and interesting exper­ ience. We were exposed to another religion that was rich in tradition and culture.
The described scene is one aspect o f our student life as Seniors. Student Life is the time ive spend at CBA or other places at school sponsored events that does not directly involve classroom teaching. They inciude re­ treats, sporting activities, and the time we spend with our friends before school, after school, or during free periods in the iibrary, where we should not be talking.
They inciude what are the UPs and DOWNs of stu­ dent’s experiences and create the memories of the years that we spent here that we will remember for the longest time.
