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.
