Another Begins The old order Changeth yielding place to the new. A century has ended - a new beginning for Clifton students, young and old. She has experienced the growing pains of one hundred years and has tri- umphed and enjoyed her successes. But the story does not end here. The serenity and antiquity re- main at Clifton. The present becomes past with memory after memory . . . the first day of school, primes. conges, dances, prom and graduetion. Each day brings another memory . .. brakenlvending machines, new words in reading, and the Glee Club concerts. The old order yields to new faces, teach- ers, events, friendships, and personalities. Thus as the old era closes, a new story begins in a new era at Clifton. And the new story promises to be very exciting with plans for a brand new building and complete renovation of the original castle. This, however, does not mean destruction but preservation of all the beauty of the original. Traditions will continue. And as always Our Lady of Welcome, here graciously crowned and stoled in freshly fallen snow, will welcome old and new to Clifton. S erenity And Antiquity Remain At Clifton Patricia Spencer takes seriously what Mary Thorn- ton and Anne Zoellner have to say. At the general meeting, Sara Schoettmer gives group report. Leadership Incorporates Old And New Summer had hardly begun when enthusiastic academic students gathered to share ideas at the an- nual Leadership Congress. From a positive point of view they offered possible solutions to everyday prob- lems. Nuns listened attentively as students presented suggestions for constructive policies. They dis cussed pros and cons of various ideas and presented these to the faculty for consideration. Without freedom to speak out freely. there would be no true communication between faculty and students. RIGHT: Brigid Flannery and Sara Sphum agree with Michele Gressel; Mary Druffel is not so sure. i Homecoming Tea The old and the new join together in the true Sacred Heart tradition at the annual Home- coming Tea. Some long for the past while others anticipate their future at the academy. It is a time for making new friends - students as well as teachers - and also for renewing 01d friendships. Just what is it that makes this reunion on August 15 such a unique event? It has been said that it is like a family reunion; like coming home after a long vacation. People are inter- ested to hear what you have been doing and to exchange news of the holidays. A Special treat awaited us this year; the yearbooks were here! This is the earliest they have arrived. BELOW: Nancy Spencer. Celeste Blase and Roz Florez admire the Citadel. ABOVE: Mother Mary Pat Ryan chats with Mrs. Robert Ritter. Registration Means A New Beginning Most will agree that August 30 is really too early for registration, but that was what it was this year. One of the absolutes seems to be that school must open on the day after Labor Day. no matter how early that holiday arrives. There is no over- time for teachers who come forlpreliminary prep- arations nor for those who register incoming students and sell books. But there it was, a Saturday, and the school swarming with girls and parents registering. buying books and greeting old friends. But in spite of it being only August 30. there was a certain ex- citement in looking forward to another year. Sister Lacey is new at Clifton. She chats with Tracey Heidt, seventh grader, on registration day. Peggy VanVyven arranges schedule with the. help of Sister Ann Smith. Boarding School Comes T 0 A Close The Italians say that partings are like little deaths. And things won't be quite the same when the boarding school is no more. This last year fcund Peggy Sauniet and Sara Schurn the lone survivets of a long and happy tradition. They roamed in what once was a cloistered part of the house above the treasury. They spent recreation time in Mater's parlor where they had access to TV which forms background sound ef- fects for many students in moments of lighter studies. Sara spent weekends at home. and Peggy spent most weekends with friends. Sara will commute next year and Peggy will be in college. There will be a real void at Clifton. Something of family Spirit will have ended. Sara Schurn does household chores in the laun- dry; no rush now to get the machine. Sara exercises domestic talent in preparing Peggy Saunier has an incredible ability to watch breakfast. TV and perform manual tasks. Something Big And New In Ganges He's a Whopper leaving Sherry Stricker in the shade. This small child enjoys visiting the campus with Mary Tombragel. Veterans' Day is very special every year at Sacred Heart. But this year there was an extra- special event. The legendary Mr. Whopper, invited by Sherry Stricker, came to add joy to the annual conge given by the seniors for the children of St. Joseph's Villa. Although the program is planned by the seniors, all high school students are expected to help in the enter- tainment. The girls really find out what a joy it is to do for those little people who have so little of this life's joy. A bus load of happy children come to Spend the day. A skit is followed by luncheon. and the afternoon is spent in playing games. Distri- bution of gifts closes the day. Mickey Mouse was the theme this year; seniors dressed in mouse costumes delighted small children. Who had more. fun, the seniors or the small guess? BELOW: Debbie Carroll shows obvious joy in entertaining small guests. Older girls and small children eagerly surround Mr. Whopper who evidently ha; charm for all ages of the fair sex.

Holy Sacrifzce Marks Centenary At the kind invitation of Monsignor Cletus Miller, hundreds of religious: a; mnae, students and friends gathered at Annunc$iba$Church for the opening of the centennial celebrations, There, on November 1, Archbishop Paul Leibold offered the Holy Sacrifice. Music was sung'beautifully by the academy Glee Club. Following the Mass, there was a pageant at the school. A narrative, written by Mrs. Lyman. told the story of the Religious of the Sacred Heart in Cincinnati. Again the Glee Club sang. accompanied by Mrs. John Sheblessy. Colored slides depicted the past, present, and possible future of Clifton. A champagne reception closed the delightful afternoon. A highlight of the centenary was the dinner at the Pavillon Caprice. Guest speaker was Mr. Abra- ham Fischler of Nova University, Florida. Mr. Ed- ward Foy, Chairman of the Fund Drive. announced opening of the drive. spoke of future plans for a new building and assured us that, We're going to build a house.

About four hundred guests gathered to enjoy a delicious dinner at the Netherland Hilton Hotel. Decor, menu and meeting of old friends made it a gala affair. Lower School Carries 0n Honored T radition In the Lower School, one of the most honored traditions is that of Little Mary. In this ceremony. at little girl is chosen to represent Our Blessed Lady as she was presented in the Temple. Preceding the feast, there is a practice among the little girls. Those children who best keep the practice are chosen as Little Mary and her court. This year the theme of the practice was Compas- sion and its aspects. in daily life. This meant cour- tesy, kindness and generosity tottards others. The word compassion was new to the children; this added to the interest. LEFT: Martha Wurzelbacher as Little Mary.

This refrain marks the beginning of one of Clifton's oldest and most sacred traditions. On December 5, following a solemn pro- cession of students in white uniforms and swaying lilies, led by a senior guard of honor, the Holy Sacrifice was offered in honor of the Immaculate Conception. The Mass was celebrated by Reverend Kenneth Czillinger who was assisted by Deacon Robert Piening. The latter is the brother of Sue and Merty Piening, recent tadun ates of the Academ . It was only a few months efore Robert Pienin 's or ination to the priesthood. It was good to hear t e beautiful homily on Our Lady and to e reminded of the important place she has in our lives; good , also, to retain this beautiful tradition. Grades from fifth through fourth academic took part in this celebration. it w h V 51' f1 Mary Romer reads the commentary before the Mass of the Immaculate Conception.

An exciting. imaginative mood sparked Clif- ton's 1969 Homecommg, celebrated during the hockey game with Summit. This event was tele- vised over WCPO-TV. Alrhou h a relatively new tradition, begun by the Class 0 '68 in their junior year, Homecoming has gradually gained populat- ity. This year instilled an enthusiasm in both spectator and participant. The spirit engendered had much to do with double victories; both reserves and varsity beat their arch-rival, Summit. Melodious notes of the Junior Marching Band heralded the arrival of lovely Peggy Saumer, Homecomin Queen, and her court. Sara Schum, heir to the time, was escorted by Chuck Lohte while the Queen's escort was Tom Lohre. The royal ladies, resplendent in long flowing robes and or- geous bouquets, had no rivals for beauty and c arm. Their only competition was that of the band and the Junior Class Float, result of many hours of labor by dedicated juniors and their capable advisors. Devotion - Ejfort - Spirit Bring Fete Success Fete Noel, the annual Christmas bazar, was held early in November to provide ample opportunity for early Christmas shopping. Beautiful booths, supplied with lovely gifts, required a great amount of time and concentrated effort on the. part of the women involved. Many volunteered their services and selflessly devoted their time. Reward comes not only from financial success but from a beautiful :Eirit so obvious among those who attended the bazar and partook of 6 delicious supper.

Lovely Mrs. R0 en: Heidt was chairman for the 1969 dance. She with capable assistants made the ex- quisite red and white center pieces so much admired by the uests. A special feature 0 this year's ball was the stress on traditional customs so loved by generations of Sacred Heart students. Today's students pride themselves on having kept these tra- ditions in a world so prone to give up most of what has been an integral part of the past. Display of traditional objects was a nostalg ?terninder of the past hundred yeabsjn which hun- dreds of studems have attended Sacred Heart in Cincinnati. 2l T r223 Bien, Bien, Orderly Primes cards await recipients.

I - 22 Giving 0f Rings Meaningful Tradition Banner, 1971, was gift of seniors to juniors on day of Ring Ceremony. Endless waiting, whispered speculations, suppressed excitement - thus the Juniors spent their days in December. Secret conferences, knowing smirks, and furtive planning charac-, terize Senior life in the wanin time before Christmas vacation. Beneath t 6 surface there is a serious tone. Facing their last year at Clifton, the Senior Class comes to a full real- ization of what their life at Clifton has meant to them. After the ceremony, where each senior stepped from a semicircle to present a misty-eyed Junior with her ring, the junior Class began the first step on their way to ma- turity, Joan Wilson, senior, has privilege of giving ring to her sister, Carolyn, Class of 71, Seniors await moment of giving rings to juniors.

It was a beautiful setting with the altar placed before the front door and chairs arranged in a large semicircle before the statue of Our Lady of Welcome. Students still carry the banner in honor of the Sacred Heart, They also arrange for the readings and commentary for the liturgy. Usually singing today is to the accompaniment of guitars, but oceasionall the old favorites are sung accom- panied by t e organ. No longer is there Exposi- tion of the Blessed Sacrament and Benediction; nor is the First Friday Novena said in preparation for the day.

Although mothers were still excluded, teachers were in- vited to this last affair. Knowledge that this was the last dance did not dampen the mood, it was ay, and all had a deli htfu evening. Dads proved t at they can keep pace with their more vivacious daughters. These fathers seem to have absorbed the Wonderful Spirit that so characterizes the student body this year.

The school-ring, bestowed by the seniors in Decem bet, created a unifying ef- fect among the class. After the ring ceremony, the impact oftheir Sa - erect Heart education hit the class as they realized that time was slipping away , time in which they would have an opportunity really to appreciate life at the Sacred Heart. Thejuniors, therefore , did their best to finish the remainder 0fthe year in harm any. The junior class, famous for its various achievements, resides much of the time in an enclosed area sur- rounding the jukebox , their most priZed possession. Class moderators, Mrs. Christy and Mrs. Stein, lead the juniors in all oftheir accomplish- ments, thus enlarging upon the abun- dant school spirit already found in the class. This spirit m anifested it- selfin the organization of the Junior Marching Band and the Homecoming Float.

Clifton Closes With Class 0f 70 Senior year, the last step in the search for oneself at Sacred Heart, is the steepest and hardest. In the eyes of undetclassmeh, unaware of the burden ofleadet- ship and responsibility, senior year is one of glamour. This is the year to te-evaluate the past and plan for the future. The first three years were filled with laughter and tears. studies, fun-fiiled times, and worries. Yet, one feels ah emptiness on entering the final year of high school. Each girl realizes that the future holds something for her, but the question that follows is, HWhat? It is the duty of the Sacred Heart to draw out that special quality and talent in each girl that will deter- mine her future. A senior will, in time, find the tight path to follow. But it is a turbulent and lonely time. She must decide and hope that her decision is the right one. The change from adolescence to womanhood, accompanied by a woman's hopes and feelings, emerges during senior year. Every June, girls are graduated from the Academy of the Sacred Heart with individual dreams and the ways to make them come true. Eachgirl has taken that decisive step, and for the first time she feels fulfilled. And as that senior walks down the driveway on June 5, she won't be smiling because it's over. She knows that this is just the beginning, and she finally knows where she is going and how to get there.
