Alumni Events...Past & Future
Talon Theatre Anniversary Celebration
“Talon Theatre” is celebrating its 15th year this season with special events for our alumni. As listed in the parent section
of this issue of Wings, Talon Theatre is reprising three of our past productions. During these reprises, we have been
inviting alumni via email and announcements on our website to come back to see these wonderful productions. We are
reserving seats for our alums, as well as hosting a reception before the Friday evening performances. You are also
invited to join the cast and crew of the production after the Friday performances at Ball Park Pizza in RSM. We always
enjoy hearing from and seeing our Talon Theatre alums and hope to see you at our productions. For more information
contact Jeff Stube @ StubeJ@smhs.org or visit our website at www.smhs.org.
Calling all Alumni Girls Waterpolo Players...
On Thursday, December 30, 2004, the Girls Water Polo team will be playing a game against Los Alamitos beginning at
11 a.m. The Varsity game will begin at noon and the JV game will be immediately following. The really exciting news
is we will be running an Alumni Game beginning at 2 p.m. Any female water polo players who have participated in the
program at SMCHS are invited to participate! The alumni will be playing against our current Varsity and against each
other in a fun afternoon of water polo. Come out and enjoy! For more information, please contact Kevin Ricks at

Keeping in Touch with Graduates
While attending the "Learning and the Brain" Conference in Boston, Dr.
Mary Beth Dougherty and Mrs. Lyn Alexander had an opportunity to have
dinner and receive a tour of the campus with Harvard students Meghan
Grizzle, Kevin Papay, and Julia Pederson, SM graduates from the Class of
2003.
Send us your photos of reconnecting with SM grads or teachers and we
would love to share the news! We are so proud of all our Eagle Alumni.
Homecoming 2004
School Spirit and Alumni was the theme of the night and it was a great
evening for all at the exciting 2004 Homecoming Football Game. On
October 8th Santa Margarita emerged victorious over the Foothill
Knights 38-12 before a crowd of about 4,000 fans! Among those fans
were a great showing of alumni who got into the Eagle spirit and
enjoyed "going back in time" and cheering for the team with former
classmates! Blue & Gold pom-poms were everywhere throughout the
stands as the Alumni Office distributed them to help rally enthusiasm for
the Eagles. The energy was apparent and we are always happy to see
our Alumni return home!
