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.
