of things to comeThis year, Wheeling Jesuit students have

witnessed a great deal of change. From theconstruction of the Alma Grace McDonoughHealth and Recreation Center to the buddingpopulation of the WJC cheerleaders we arecertainly inclined to consider the phenom-enal future possiblities of not only the cam-pus but of Wheeling, the metropolis it hasbecome, as well.

Everyday changes, such as the 'shaping'and growing of a freshman to a senior andMarriott's latest creation, allow one to realizewhat miracles occur around us and how weare involved.

The Manifest staff invites you to siftthrough the pages, and if you're really feelingambitious, read what we have to tell you andyou may find yourself included in 'the shapeof things to come.'

Womenfs SoccerThe Lady Cards burst into the 1992 season with an air

of authority, winning their first games by a combined scoreof 30-2. Coach Regan's decision to commit to an attack-oriented system continued to pay huge dividends through-out the fall schedule. For instance, Carrie Flute's breakawayspeed and finishing ability accounted for a nation leadingpoint total of 77

Guided by senior co-captains Tina Amoroso andChrissy Sassaman, Wheeling Jesuit's women's soccer teamreturned to the NAIA National Championship Tournamentfor the second consecutive year by capturing the fourthstraight District 28 title and second straight Great LakesRegional Crown.

Among the other awards bestowed upon the talentedteam, three of the soccer players earned prestigious All-American honors: Sassaman, Plute, and Carolyn Ritchey

The Wheeling Defense which was often overlookedbut seldom outplayed was anchored by goalkeeper JoyDescutner who was named NAIA "goalkeeper of the year"for her efforts.

Also, Coach Regan collected his fourth consecutiveGreat Lakes Region coach of the year award.

The Lady Cards can certainly use this season as proofthat Wheeling Jesuit is a force to be reckoned with on thesoccer field.

K. Gattie says: "I look to my right, to my left,back to my right again - THEN safely kick theball."

The 1992 Wheeling Jesuit men's soccer season took anugly turn when the cardinals lost All-Conference playerMichael Ferrier and All-American Roger Guiseppi to inju-ries in the first week of the season. Even with a veryinexperienced team, the Cardinals started off on the righttrack by registering a 2-0 win over Capitol in their seasondebut. From there the Cardinals posted a very respectablerecord of 5-3-2 at mid season. But as the season wore on, theinexperience of much of the squad took its toll and theCardinals stumbled into the playoffs losing in the conferencesemi-final 5-1 to Charleston. The highlight of the 1992 seasonwas Wheeling's first ever victory over rival Alderson-Broaddus 2-1 The Cardinals finished the season at 7-12-2while being paced by Sean Maloney in goal, Anthony Jamesat defense, Jim Findley in midfield, and Steven Cleary upfront offensively Next year looks very promising for theCardinals as they only lose one player, senior Michael Croy,to graduation. With the expected healthy return of some keyplayers, the Cardinals should challenge for the Conferencetitle in 1993.

WJC goes for the stealagainst the opposing team.

and fun have in common? Why, the intramuralsports competition.

Intramurals were a popular way for studentsto participate in both indoor and outdoor sports andcompete against one another The sports studentsplayed included football, volleyball, soccer, Softball,basketball, and pool.

Imaginations were stretched as the teamsvied to find the most creative and fitting titles theycould. Often the only distinguishing mark of a teamwas a specific solid color tee-shirt. A visit to thelate-night meal for refreshment was a popular aftergame activity

Students found that they could work offstress and excess energy as well as improve theirathletic abilities.

While on an annual cultural trip to Canada inthe autumn, faculty and students celebratedStratford, Ontario's 40th anniversary of thefestival season. The main attraction of thefestival is, as always, Shakespeare plays.Hence, Wheeling Jesuit's theater-goers watchedproductions of the humorous The Two Gentle-men of Verona and the linguistically ornateLove's Labour's Lost. They also found them-selves in the midst of a musical "sea" of tangledrelationships on Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S.Pinafore. During the intermission betweenperformances at the different theaters, thestudents and faculty spent the fair-weathereddays strolling by the Avon River and browsing inthe multitude of shops.

Luceats were trained in leadershipqualities to guide and direct an assignedpack of frightened freshmen.

Not only did the Luceats show thesefreshmen the many and wondrous sightsof the campus, but they also providedendless crazy entertainment for theirfirst weekend here. These activities in-cluded dances, ice cream socials, games,and pizza parties to allow the freshmen toget to know one another

It was these Luceats that helped be-gin the 'shaping' of the freshmen whowere on their way to setting a name forthemselves.

The Spokesman, the student publica-tion, is the college's soap opera digest. Notonly does it provide the latest breaking newsbut entertainment as well. It's issues containa focus in faculty classifieds, sports, car-toons, world news, juicy editorials, and last,but not least Letters to the Editor And if thecollege campus is lucky the editor will getdesperate and put in enormous crosswordpuzzles for your recreational pleasure.

The Spokesman strives to provideaccurate, factual and digestable news. Itseditors sweat blood trying desparately to putout a paper that nobody reads. Only you thereader can decide upon its credibility In thepast year the Spokesman has reached onceunreacheable heights. Whose to say whatthey'll tackle next? Maybe, a Dear Abbycolumn.

The Horse's Mouth is a weekly publi-cation of the College Activities Board. Itwelcomes comments from students facultyand administrators. Regular features inthe Horse's Mouth include menus, studentbirthdays, Career Corner and the WellnessCalendar More sporadic articles include aVocabulary Corner and Health CenterNews.

tudent government"Out with the old in with the new" was the saying of this year's 1992

board. The 1992 board had a prosperous semester with the distributionof directories, JUSTICE, and getting free dinners paid by Student Govern-ment. The board had worked hard on uniting a school that had no inter-est in being united. The most eventful happening was the ChristmasDinner Dance which was slaved over by board members. The 1992board went out with a bang, literally, at the gathering after the ChristmasDinner Dance with fights over champagne bottles, but they had fun

The 1993 board was much more subdued while at the same timebeing very creative and more outgoing than the previous board. The newboard had a very successful super bowl party, except for Dallas losing.Many forums such as security and the campus smoking policy were alsosponsored, as well as working closely with the Senate on revision ofStudent Government Constitutions. Also, the elections of class officerstook place in the Spring versus the Fall A biggie project was the organi-zation of the book exchange All in all, the who's in whoville did well.

College Activities Board, was a doozie this yearThe job of this group was to bring diverse andunusual events to the college community and todiscover new entertainment for college students.This year's events were sensational as thegroup brought in artists, bands, and many, manymore activites. Comedians such as KevinHughes and Carrot Top (not!) and artists suchas Theresa and Tom Acousti were just some ofthe entertainers provided. Other activities in-cluded Games Night, ski trips, Spulunking,Spring Formal and the ever popular and suc-cessful Last Blast.

It seems to be that CAB has reached its goaland outdone itself

Keep the rumor mill churning hereat old WJC, for it breeds on new ideas,fresh faces, and juicy gossip.

However we do know one thing.We'll be back, Mary and Jill that is. Seeya on the flip side or better yet, the Ratt.

When you passthrough the water I will be with you; in the rivers you shall not drown. When you walkthrough fire, you shall not be burned; the flames shall not consume you For I am theLord, Your God. Because you are precious in my eyes and glorious, and because I loveyou.
