Determining tne Facts and Creating the Mood Experience in writing poetry and creative compositions led many students to extend their talent outside the class- room. 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. Along with the literary members of PRISM, a talented art staff designed the layouts and gridwork for the book. The final product of their time and talent was a professional composite of the literary and art abilities of the SHA community. Lisa Moran, a member of both PRISM and Alethea, com- mented that these literary publications gave people op- www!

Programmed If you wanted to observe a place of mass confusion, you could have stopped by the CLELIAN room the day before a deadline. 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.
