The senior stairs were used as the main entrance and freshmen quickly learned where these sacred steps were. The new library complex was in full operation with two floors of books, individualized listening areas, sophisticated art studios - and, of course, air conditioning! If you passed through the basement hall on your way to computer, you would have noticed the title Chap- lain on a door. Fr. John received his own office, which was opened to anyone who wished to see him. Near the cafe, faculty members en- joyed eating lunch in their own din- ing room. On the first floor, the old library was transformed into beauti- ful new offices, and Mrs. Banovich's new office provided more space for her many resources. All these ren- ovations certainly added tothe spe- cialness of SHA.

Many upperclassmen could say from experience that work was no way to spend spare time. An after school job meant a very hectic schedule. Getting to work after the school day ended was an exper- ience in itself. As soon as the 2:lO bell rang, those who had jobs were off and the race against the clock began. After fighting the crowds, these part-timers hurried toward their cars. Often they were weighed down with books that, after an endless afternoon of work, would be hard to face in the even- ing. Speeding down the SHA hill, many were relieved that school was over. though they knew that relaxation was not in the near future. Like a bolt from the blue, the traffic hit and many got the familiar feeling that they were going to be late for work. Finally, the determined employ- ees arrived with excuses prepared for annoyed bosses. These hard workers, when faced with temper- mental customers and various de- mands, learned how to handle re- sponsibility and thus gained valu- able experience from their part- time work. 4 Top: At a glance Traci Gallagher is proof that a SHA girl's work is never done. 4 Left: Debbie Burt skillfully assists a begin- ner.

This was often the case of many of the girls at SHA who were very involved in their own neighborhoods. Students who volunteered in their communities knew that their activi- ties were a rewarding way to help others and themselves. At the same time, their work helped to broaden their outlook toward future careers. Some girls volunteered their time at the Daycare Program at Yale-New Haven Hospital, where they brought smiles to children's faces. Other girls taught CCD classes and found this very challenging. They related their faith to their students in a way that was easy for the youngsters to understand. It took great patience and much energy on the part of the teachers, but was a beneficial ex- perience for all. Some girls became more involved in their own parishes by participat- ing in the RENEW program which began in the Hartford archdiocese this year. Whatever the activity. SHA girls found the time and pos- sessed the energy to serve their community well. 4 Top right: Not fully exhausted yet. the SHA Bed Race team smiles with great enthu- siasm.

After receiving their rings and then cheering in the cafe- teria, Cto the surprise of their par- entsj, most moved the celebration to the Ground Round at Long Wharf. The girls also knew that the occa- sion had an underlying meaning. Through their rings, they received a token of SHA M a symbol which marked their special class spirit. The liturgy made the occasion per- sonal and helped bind the family- like ties already formed. With the realization that time passes quickly, the girls fully appreciated the hard work of their previous years and looked forward to a bright future. 4 Top left: The Ring Ceremony is a perfect excuse to get all dolled up according to La- Dora Wade and Jill Mulvey.

Efjlllllll-Illl'llillt-lllflllfllll What was the so special about the first Friday of October? It marked the simultaneous celebration of the Sacred Heart Enthronement and Pro-Life Day. Both of these events held great significance in our com- munity. Enthronement provided us with the opportunity to proclaim our devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, while we also shared our be- lief in the right for life. Senior Na- omi Gabriel was elected to crown the statue of Jesus. Bishop Rosazza joined Father John in the celebra- tion of the Mass. Both the liturgy and music reflected the spirit of the day. Members of the Pro-Life Club wrote petitions and read a prayer in honor of the unborn. Two roses were presented with the offertory gifts as symbols of life. At the conclusion of the liturgy. students had the opportunity to speak with Bishop Rosazza. A get- together was held in the cafe to celebrate the occasion. Though the ceremony had ended, the spirit of this special event could be felt throughout the year. 4 Top right: Taking the crown from Janine Plante, Naomi Gabriel prepares to symboli- cally enthrone the Sacred Heart as King of our hearts.

Halloween brought original costumes and a party in the cafe. Ghostly goblins, summer surfers, and pajama party- ers took part in the trick-or-treat spirit of the day. Thanksgiving en- couraged the spirit of giving as homerooms created gift boxes filled with canned goods and tur- keys which were taken to the less fortunate in the New Haven area. Christmas was special at Sa- cred Heart. The Christmas Post Of- fice opened early with a competi- tion for the most creative mailbox. Students sent letters, packages, and singing telegrams to their friends. The Advent ceremony, Christmas caroling, and a cafe celebration, were important parts of the season. Council provided hot chocolate dur- ing the party and the Glee Club gave a performance. Students gen' erously filled stockings with toys and presented them at the Christ- mas liturgy. These were then dis- tributed to children in the poorer schools of the city. Whether Hal- loween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or whatever the special day might have been. holidays were always festive occasions.

Once the preliminaries were attended to, a SHA dance or mixer proved to be a very worthwhile social event. Lln- fortunately, the dreaded D's had to be dealt with by any dance hopeful: first, a dress Cdepending upon the occasionb and second, a date Ca date with a driver's license was even betterj. A local mall was the perfect place to search for both, but once the dress and date were found, slight alterations to one or the other were inevitable. Whether it was the Fall or Valen- tine's Day Dance or the Senior Mix- er, getting your hands on a ticket was also a problem. For the more business-minded student, purchas- ing three or four in advance and then selling them at a profit would have been advisable. Unfortunately, not even Wall Street foresaw the rise in the dance ticket market and some unlucky girls were left with altered, non-returnable accessories- and no ticket. For those who actually arrived at these events, there were no regrets for their efforts. They danced to the music of a disc jockey and so- cialized with their friends, if not their escorts. In fact, fun was ex- actly what they had. D Top right: Away from the crowd, Alisa Cenotti and Donald Cretella enjoy a respite while waiting for their song.

This was especially apparent as indivi- duals and groups performed for families and friends at the Talent Show on January 29. This fantastic evening of entertainment was well worth its one dollar admission price, which was used to defray costs from SHA's musical, THE MU- SIC MAN. The Talent Show's success was largely based on the fact that the talents of the students were diverse and the acts offered entertainment for all ages. In the dance acts stu- dents performed routines in jazz and ballet. Senior Melissa Ricci cap- tured the winner's spot in the dance category for her performance of The Dream . Girls also displayed a wide range of musical talents. Pian- ists, flutists, guitarists, and vocal- ists charmed the audience with their pieces. Despite tough compe- tition. well-deserved awards went to Kathy Antos and Vaiva Vaisnys for their piano duet for Legendy by Dvorak, and to Regina Milano for her rendition of Gut Here on my Own. Students worked hard at perfect- ing their performances.

Of course. there were al- ways the days when some of us wished we had as many dates as we had hours of homework, but most agreed it was well worth it. An intellec- tual challenge was guar- anteed, as was a feeling of self-satisfaction when success was attained.

When Faith is Overdue, RENEW It This past year the Archdiocese of Hartford started the RENEW pro- gram, designed to help people focus more on God and become involved with their parishes. Parishes invited their members to join small groups which met to reflect on scriptural readings. Ten percent of the student body was involved in RENEW and several of the girls were small group leaders. One such leader was Caroline Fargeorge. The religious background which Caroline gained from Sacred Heart helped to shape her interest in her faith. When she heard about RE- NEW in school, she thought that join- ing a small group would allow her to discuss her faith with others. She pointed out that taking charge of a group improved her ability to work with others. Caroline believed that she benefited from sharing her faith with other teen-agers through the small-group meetings and looked for- ward to other RENEW seasons.

Getting Down to Debatable Facts No doubt the l984 ReaganfMon- dale Presidential race was a memora- ble one for many reasons. The taste of campaigning even descended on Sacred Heart as a whirlwind of events increased student awareness of voters' responsibilities. Mrs. Reed's junior American histo- ry class conducted their own mock campaigns. Committees were con- vened to cover all aspects of the election. To make students more aware of the various campaign is- sues, classes enacted their own Presidential debates. The high num- ber of registered voters in the school reflected the interest students had in both Reagan and MondaIe's cam- paigns. Enthusiasm reached its cli- max on November 4 as students overwhelmingly voted for Reagan as their Presidential choice. In Spring, several juniors also took part in a week-long Washington seminar on Capitol Hill. They sat in on sessions of Congress to learn first-hand about the legislative branch of 'our government.

Exploring a World of Novel Ideas ln your free time, why not write a novel? This idea didn't seem so far- fetched for freshman Shannon Con- aty when she began her novel during the summer of I984. It was an adven- ture story which Shannon wanted to submit to a publisher. She had writ- ten six chapters, totalling two hun- dred pages, by the end of her first semester at SHA. Though she often experienced writer's block, Shannon hoped to complete her novel by the summer of '85. Despite thoughts of having it published someday, she commented that writing was just a hobby at this point in her life. Shannon continued to perfect her literary skill especially through her English classes. As a freshman, she learned useful writing techniques and creative ways of expressing her thoughts. Expert guidance from the English department gave Shannon necessary enthusiasm for complet- ing her novel. Perhaps some day the name Shannon Conaty may top the best seller list. 5, In -an ttggt EngHshf37 Science Fiction becomes Reality Beyond the walls of Sacred Heart, novice scientists discovered many ways to release their creative ener- gies. The science department, aware of various educational opportunities offered at nearby universities, en- couraged students to apply for sev- eral of these programs. For example, seminars were held at the University of New Haven in the fall. Senior Joanne Anastasiadou had already attended the Human- ities and Science Symposium at Wes- leyan in her junior year. This exper- ience and her love for science en- . Above: Chemists Ladora Wade and Lisa Romano concoct magic po- tions.

Ambitious seniors Angela Nista and Kim Sabine followed another path. They were part of the Yale Frontiers of Applied Science pro- gram. Both filled their 8 weeks at Yale with tours of the university's science laboratories and attended classes taught by college professors. While pursuing their individual in- terests, these girls also acquired valuable information about various current techniques and develop- ments in science. 1 if if ktkg l Q Far left: Karrie Reilly and Lori Brittingham discover water dis- placement. 4 Left: Reporting on polymers in chemistry, Margie Connelly plays teacher. v Below: Cathi Mariorano and Sue Riley skillfully perform tests. h l,.. . .

With the new art studios and independent courses that our school offered, many students could not resist taking courses in art or music. While some chose these subjects to further their enjoyment in a hob- by, others wanted to gain exper- ience for future careers. One such student was Patty Coonan. Even as a freshman, art class interested her very much. As Patty became a sen- ior, she realized that art was her fa- vorite subject. Not only did she en- joy it, but she excelled in the area. Hoping to utilize her talent for a suc- cessful future, Patty decided to ap- ply her talent in college in the field of advertising. The fine arts program at SHA cer- tainly had many activities connected to it. For some girls, like Patty, that first stroke or musical note opened up great possibilities for the future.

Putting Input into the Output Was math really an important sub- ject? Such a disputable question would be argued by many girls at our school. Here, the field of mathemat- ics not only crept into every corner of the building, but its 26 computers also made it difficult to avoid. Senior Kris Szwaya discovered how true that was. Algebra intrigued Kris as a fresh- man. Introduced to the computer for the first time, she found that it greatly interested her. Most girls en- joyed summer vacation as they aban- doned school work, but not Kris. She went to computer camp at the Llni- versity of Connecticut. Since then, she has also taken advanced comput- er and pre-calculus at school. As a result of her love for math, Kris has planned to major in computer sci- ence in college. Sacred Heart Academy gave a firm foundation to those who had an interest in math. The opportunities that were given to the girls made studying mathematics a popular sub- ject at SHA. r L5 M i in , J , , , Y ,,A,N Mathematics SHA really influenced my interest in computers because it was my Hrs! real access to them. -Kris Szwa ya fxf 4 Above: Barbara Butler and Hope Kuziel work on a puzzling algebra problem.

Howev- er, as one became aware of the dis- tinct culture of a country, learning its language was an enriching exper- ience. Sophomore Laurie Savastano vis- ited Spain last summer and the trip helped her become more interested in Spanish culture. From her exper- iences she learned that the Spanish were very family-oriented people. While Laurie returned to the Ll.S. to New Cultures brought back a deeper appreciation of her own roots as well. The language curriculum provided an effective program for Laurie and all students interested in building a strong foundation in communication skills.

Facul- ty members were asked to com- ment on this question as well as oth- ers. Some stated that, once they re- covered from the shock, they would give their money to the needy, while others said they would use it to travel. When asked what her favorite activity during the school year was, one faculty member jokingly re- plied, Weekends - or Friday nights. An overwhelming majority of teachers enjoyed listening to soft, relaxing dentist music. This soothing music was often played while teachers corrected papers. But did you ever wonder where teachers corrected tests? Popular hideouts included their homes and the faculty room. However, one teacher commented that she cor- rected tests. either in the state of ecstacy or the state of frustration - dependent on my students' grades. The faculty's comments also re- vealed a feeling of unity and rapport among themselves and in their rela- tionships with students.

Sr. Marialice and Mrs. Lamboley, two faculty mem- bers who attended SHA in the early '6Os, provided valuable information about school life here when they were students. lt was evident from their experiences that SHA has changed in several ways to meet the needs of new generations. For example, could you imagine a schedule without any studies? What about not being allowed to wear make-up to school? For the girls in the 60's these things were accepted as facts. Have you ever worried about your prom dress passing inspection, or the condition of your school shoes? Believe it or not. twenty years ago gowns were approved by the sisters and white bucks were checked once a week. On the other hand, some tradi- tions such as First Friday Mass, Ju- nior Ring Ceremony, and the musi- cal have been annual events for years. Sr. Marialice commented that a family-like spirit has always been a part of SHA. Despite neces- sary changes, this close-knit atmo- sphere has continued to create treasured memories for many stu- dents down through the years. 5 I t ... . ..- gr, Emesgine Deside,-io Sr, Lizabglh Dggy Sr. Mary Grace Giaimo Sr. Pamela Therese Gooch Mrs. Anne Marie House 54 Sr. Deborah Lopez Mrs. Elaine Lamboley Sr. Susan Marie Krupp Mrs, Antoinette lncampo l l i l Sr, Kierstin Martin Sr. Gabriel McClain Sr. Susan Marie Nolkemper Fr.

Mrs. Sabine Ruthman Sr. Mary Anne Sharron Sr. Judith Talmadge Students' Support System A new program was established this year for students who were seeking greater personal involve- ment in their school life. Peer coun- seling was initiated by Fr. John Pel- letier and Mrs. Jane Reed. Both fac- ulty members were very excited with the new program and were overwhelmed with the response of over IOO applicants. Choosing the 25 counselors needed, however, was a difficult process. lt was so hard to draw a cut-off line, said Mrs. Reed. There are so many generous stu- dents at SHA. It was important, however, to initially choose a small group for this type of program. The 25 counselors. girl' from - 4 classes. attended weekly meetings throughout the winter as well as training sessions. The ideas and guidance of both Mrs. Reed and Fr. John gave the group a dynamic edge. Generally. the goal was to provide Sacred Heart with a team of girls able to minister to the stu- dent community by sharing their personal gifts in support and en- couragement during times of chal- lenge. They worked as a group to develop the necessary communica- tion skills to reach this obiective. 2?

Who put up with us when we were late, refused to clean our rooms or were down- right moody? The answer is our parents - the people we too often neglected to appreciate. Remember when you had to be at school by 7:00 a.m. to finish your comput- er program? What about the times you needed a ride home because you missed your bus or had a meeting? Who brought you that crucial research paper you left on the counter so you could hand it in on time? And who made all those trips to the store for school supplies, stocking-stuff- ers, or baking goods? So when you wanted so badly to tell your mom to stay out of your room and your dad that you were no longer his little girl, maybe a second thought was well worth your time. After all, our par- ents were so much more than just par- ents. 4 Top left: Andrea Gagne. Laura Carotenuto and their mothers enjoy lunch together.

But given a special cue, these parents emerged as the undefeatable par- ents' club members. Whatever the activ- ity, from the Father-Daughter Commu- nion Breakfast to the Card Party, they were present to add their loving touch Cand hard workj. The list of events, of course, was endless. But one of the big- gest sacrifices, it had to be agreed, was made unselfishly by the talliers of the Ten-Week Club tickets. Yes, the Fathers' Club, in all their generosity, set aside ten relaxing evenings of Monday Night Foot- ball to determine, besides weekly win- ners, which homeroom deserved a pizza party. lt was not difficult to recognize the dedication of the Mothers' and Fa- thers' Clubs, even though both groups of- ten disappeared from the scene after performing some special deed.

Each page of the biology chapter was then carefully marked Cor completely colored inb with a yellow highlighter.

Not only were there no windows on this basement landing but the hand- me-down lockers also added to the intrigue of the area. Yes some students actually preferred being in the pit over the spacious locker areas that the majority of the students had. These girls who were mostly juniors enjoyed being situated near an exit door for their fast getaway at the 21lO dismissal. At this location they also could snea gym clothes and other possessions into their lock- ers directly after class.

These were some familiar. although not always welcomed, directions most seniors faced as they filled out college applications. Although all of them were taught how to follow directions since freshmen English, mistakes were still made. Some common ones were using white-out on a green application, typing one's name incorrectly, and filling in the wrong marital status. The first pages of the application consisted of teacher recommendation forms, followed by personal data sheets. and secondary school reports. It didn't end there, however. A principal and guidance counselor form was included as well as an intricate financial aid form. At first glance it seemed quite impossible to complete all this in only three months! Nevertheless. the sometimes-confusing process of applying to colleges was successfully completed. Q Left: Will Shari Bradley be a member of the l988 Olympic team?

Michele Caneili and Maria Farricielli drool over their Florida tickets. Ask any senior what spring break means and the reply will be unanimous -- Florida! During the sunny spring vacation Ft. Lauderdale experienced the senior invasion. Those who participated flew down for 8 days of swimming, dancing, relaxation, and fun. While some spent their time getting a suntan on the beach, looking for cute guys, or just enjoying the escape from school pressures, others shopped in Fort Lauderdale's spa- cious mall. But Florida wasn't all beaches and suntans. The nightlife proved to be exciting also, as friends danced to music or spent the evening laughing and talking with each other. lt was generally agreed that the days went by much too quickly. Not all of the seniors spent their break in the sunny South. Some traveled elsewhere with their families, and many chose to remain in Connecticut and work to earn extra money for college. Wherever it was spent, spring break was a welcome respite from the routine of school. C Lellf FBLA prepares its members for the busi- ness world.

As you entered the gymnasium during a basketball game. you saw that gleam of red-and-white bouncing iround on the sidelines. What a sight! It was fabulous to ,ee the cheerleaders leading the team with words of en- zouragement. SHA also had enthusiastic juniors and seniors who :heered for the Notre Dame football players. These ND cheerleaders devoted their time even on brisk'Friday nights to root the team on to victory. Sure enough, in their-green-and gold, they caught the attention of the spectators. When the SHA basketball team and the ND football team needed an extra push, they could definitely rely on the cheerleaders. They were there at each game, very willing to give a boost whenever it was needed. A special feeling of unity existed among the cheer- leaders. They enjoyed each other's company and dis- played the real meaning of teamwork. Fans enjoyed watching such bundles of energy. 4 Above. SHA Cheerleaders. Kelly Chiaburro, Debbie Cusack.

So you let your curiosity investigate and you opened the double doors to the gym. Just as you thought! They were at it again, charging down the court and running up the score. The talent and enthusiasum of the Sacred Heart basketball team was very evident with their fantastic I7 and 3 season and 2 tournament victories. Perhaps one reason for their tremendous record was found in the team's overall height. Members with frames which stretched over-5'9 were certainly great assets to the team. High scoring was another advantage - with the team averaging 60 points per game. Quick reflexes also paid off because steals and rebounds often resulted it another two points. For the first time this season, the Chargers played some Catholic teams from around the state. Though the compel tition was intense, the varsity team proved equal to the matches as they prepared to enter the Catholic League next year. Not only was the season a fabulous success, bu' it was also a unique one. Computer technology made it: way to the basketball program. Statistics which tabulatec each girl's points, assists, and steals were compiled by computer, enabling Mr. Piazza and his assistants to worl- not only on each girl's own weakness, but also to build up her strengths. mwww 4 Above: Displaying a strong defense.

The team sacrificed 2 hours a day running a tiring 5 miles to work on distance and speed. Besides sprinklers, the girls also met up with snakes and inclement weather. Many meets were held in pouring rain, and mud often found its way into the runners' sneakers. The new coach, Miss Diane Wright, was a motivating force for the team. Besides her expertise. Miss Wright offered the team meals from McDonalds if they improved their time. With this incentive. who could resist? After reaching their goal. the girls trooped to the Plaza to fetch their prizes. The cross country team worked hard. Laura Wood showed this by ending the season with her best time.

Closer to home, we supported those elected girls who accepted the task of organizing SHA's student body. Sworn in as Student Council President was Kim Stoddard with Marianne McCarthy at her side as Vice- president. Together with Secretary Frances Pimentel and Treasurer Francine Conelli, they formed a SHA platform that made the year a success. Settling into office, Council members decorated the newly-designated Student Council Room and held commit- tee meetings there. Peer counselors from Notre Dame were invited to give a leadership workshop for the mem- bers of our Council. As the N.D. counselors performed role-playing activities, the girls learned to-enhance their own leadership abilities and increase their communication skills. Off to a good start, Student Council soon presented new activities to SHA. Student ID cards were available through Council and these became an immediate hit. Pictures with Santa were taken at Christmas, and students enjoyed hot chocolate at a get-together before vacation. Council rec- ognized everyone's birthday by singing to them over the PA. lf a vote had been taken, the majority would have agreed that Student Council made the year a memorable one for all. 5 M fl' Q Left: Council meetings offer interesting school involvement ideas.

Though it was a hectic place to be, each staff assisted the others in order to complete the pages on time. As staffs worked diligently on their particular jobs, each member kept the theme of scrapbook in mind. They concentrated on seeing the year as a valuable collec- tion of memories. lt was a wonderful experience because it also gave them the chance to reminisce. Each staff had an important role in the manufacturing of CLELIAN. This past year, the use of computers was a tremendous asset to the business staff. The girls found it For Creativity much easier to enter all copy into the computer and make revisions before printing out the perfected form. As the photography staff captured the most memorable occa- sions of life at SHA. the literary staff used their imagina- tions to find a creative way of describing these events. The layout staff integrated photos, copy, and graphics to produce spreads which were artistically designed and thematic. The yearbook took a lot of time and effort to complete. Yet, its 25 members enjoyed being a part of such a fun- filled activity. They were also happy to present Clelian to the study body in May.

For those with a flair for facts, the school newspaper, The Alethea, offered a challenge to discover the who, what, where, and why of a story. The bimonthly publica- tion featured articles about school personnel, activities, and students' accomplishments. Reporters delved into the exciting happenings of SHA, while photographers cap- tured those moments on film. At Sacred Heart expressing oneself in print was not limited to the newspaper publication. For those who wished to creatively express their thoughts and ideas FVURY through poems and short stories, PRISM offered this op- portunity. The PRISM staff encouraged the student body to submit original poems and short stories. The literary staff chose material from these works and contributed their own for publication.

Well, if you wanted to be a member of the National Honor Society, it certainly did. Although high grades were not the only criteria for admis- sion into the organization, they were important. This group of specially selected seniors were girls who not only possessed fine characteristics such as scholarship and leadership, but also offered their time and talents to both school and local communities. One responsibility of NHS was to sponsor school assem- blies every month. ln November, Sr. Julia McNamara, President of Albertus Magnus College, spoke on the impoi - tance of learning a foreign language. At another assembly, students heard Paul Galano from Covenant House in New York relate stories of his work with runaway teen-agers. The school also enjoyed a presentation of Chekhov's plays performed by the Renaissance Theatre Company. The National Honor Society sponsored a special candy drive before exams, and donated the proceeds to charity. ln addition, NHS members taught classes on Teacher Ap- preciation Day. Many members also volunteered to tutor students who had difficulties in academic subjects. Vice-president Joanne Anastasiadou commented, We had fun and enjoyed being with each other.

There you would have found a very hard-working, dedicated group of girls, the Glee Club, who promised to bring music to your ears and a song to your heart. The Glee Club practiced diligently beginning with warm-ups and then rehearsing their individual parts. De- termined by an audition, the group was divided into alto, soprano and second soprano sections which blended into beautiful harmony. Not only did they provide enjoyment and entertainment for the Sacred Heart community, but they were also able to perfect their own vocal technique in areas such as pitch and volume. Performing for a first-semester PTA meeting, the clul delighted both parents and faculty. During the Christma season, the group again emerged from hiding and revealei its vocal masterpieces to students and faculty.

Notable chorus numbers directed by Sr. Mary Grace and dances choreographed by Judyth Nilsson sparked ex- citement throughout the pro- duction. The plot of the play cen- tered around Harold Hill, a salesman who swindled his way into the graces of the people of River City, Iowa. Even the intelligent librarian, Marian Paroo, fell for him. ln the end, however, Harold Hill had a change of heart. sparked by Marian's love. Although time and effort was the price of success, the pride the cast experienced after their last entertaining show made it well worth it. 4 Top right: What could he be telling them now?

Directed by fac- ulty members, each group put their interests and talents to work to produce a stage ready for lights, camera, and action. The scenery crew created a very real picture of River City. From the work of several dedi- cated fathers, the Wells Fargo Wagon rolled down the road bringing the long-awaited band instruments. Fast scenery changes were necessary and quickly executed by the stage crew. The light crew flicked lights on time to spot budding stars. Under the direction of the sound crew. the harmony of the quartet and dialogue of the char- acters was projected for all to hear. Both make-up and costume crews were always on alert for quick changes and repairs. The hard work and dedication of each committee were greatly appreciated.

Was her date going to show up on time? These ques- tions passed through the minds of many juniors and seniors on the day of the prom. How hectic that day was, but how exciting! The prom took much fore- thought and organization. Senior chairperson Kim White and ju- nior chairperson Louise Rosarbo. as well as the prom committee, took on many responsibilities and carried these thorough admira- bly. This dedicated group of girls met every obstacle and had a so- lution to every question. What a turn-out! At Restland Farms the girls paraded in with their beau- tiful gowns and their handsome dates. Once the immediate iit- ters were gone and the meal was over, everyone loosened up by moving on to the dance floor. Flowers, favors, bids, and band all helped to make the night a very special one.

Coach Lawler wasn't the only new face that was spotted on the court. Many new members. espe- cially freshmen and sophomores, were recruited. Of course, where would the new team members be without the guidance and sup- port of the seasoned players? Captain Sara Mullaney brought much experience with her. She has been actively involved in the sport for six years. According to Sara, SHA helped me to become a more skilled, mature player. What did the team do with all this experience and dedication? Besides ending the season with a 7-6 record, the team also had IO members qualify for the state tournament games. As one player proudly stated, The potential of the team was just beginning to be seen. Just wait until next year! 4 Top right: With the style of a pro, Ann Falsey returns the serve.
