IMPRESSION E E LD Mrs. Beatty, Mrs. DeMayo, Mrs. Heed and Mrs. McLaughlin on the daily walk through the halls. f-lfter school the empty halls are filled with the sounds of the patter of feet. You may have heard of the term mall walking, but do you really know what it refers to? Mall walking has been around for years. lt's when people walk around the mall before and during the store hours. Some malls have organized pro- grams which map out routine paths so a person knows how far they have walked. It is a neat way to exercise - rain, sleet, or snow won't keep these people from their daily walks. BSJH has a similar program de- veloped by the teachers who want to exercise daily. Some of the regu- lars who walk the halls daily are: Mrs. Beatty, Mrs. DeMayo, Mrs. Frerking, Mrs. Lucht, Mrs. McLaughlin and Mrs. Reed.
