The Finer Things of Life
Adriana Encelon '03 has brought the theater back to Serra in a big way.  She has directed superb performances of Cinderella, 2nd Class, Fiddler on the Roof,  Class Action, Grease, etc.

For the last 5 years, Serra Alumni and Faculty are invited especially for the Sunday afternoon performance.  After the performers take their bows, we have a ceremony where each performer, stagehand , script manager, director, etc. are individually introduced and are  presented with a commemorative rose by an alumnus or faculty member.

It also lets you participate in one of the great Silent Auctions. Appetizers  at 5:00 & Dinner at 6:00. This is what a ticket looks like.

The signs are produced by Maneri Sign Co. in Gardena.  They may be among the raffle items at the Golf Tournament.
The Booster Club Car Show
The booster Club Car Show was a big success.

Jerry Uribe '55 did not win the oldest car award with his '56 Chevy, pictured on the left, but he won the oldest alumni entrant award. Gary Boyd '64 brought his '56 Chevy Wagon, pictured on the right.

Parent Tony Taylor is a member of the Black Classic Car Club. They brought 12 cars and the members include alumni of Dorsey, Fremont, Jefferson, Manual Arts and Washington.  The alumnus, who thought he was taking pictures, wasn't.


Parent and Sergeant Tony Taylor brought the Sheriff's Muscle Car., pictured on the left. 

Is Serra Senior, Ronald Ochoa, the first undergraduate to enter and win an award at a Serra Booster Club Car Show? We think he is. Ronald won a 3rd place prize sponsored by Gardena Bowl.
Thank you to Carolyn Madera, Booster Club president, and sponsors including, Wells Fargo bank represented by Branch Manager Latoya Goffe, Remax, Rotex, and Pacific Motorcars.
