Y X Heartbeat N tba core of love f Eternal Father, we, the members of Sacred Heart Academy unite ourselves with the altar of sacrifice in the mass, and accept the loving kingship of Jesus Christ, your son. over our family. October A marked a day of religious importance for stu- dents and faculty at SHA. Stu- dents signed Act of Consecra- tion cards dedicating them- selves without reservation to the Heart of Jesus. As a symbol of life and love, the class presi- dents brought up roses and placed them in front of the statue of Jesus. Senior Andrea Hughes crowned the statue of the Sacred Heart, and repre- k sentatives from both Pro-life and Student Council planned and participated in the mass. Hurricane Gloria had struck a week before and while most of the students had regained their electricity, the aftereffects of the storm did disrupt Enthronement. The mass went as planned but the celebration was postponed until October 46, for lack of heli- um, balloons and streamers. Fall- ing on the feast day of St. Marga- ret Mary, who was devoted to the Sacred Heart, the celebration was as festive as ever. Radios blared while students laughed over pizza and potato chips. Meanwhile. in the faculty dining room, the teachers feasted on two six-foot long subs, a gift from the Student Council. Fac- ulty members also ate dough- nuts and lemon ice and wore carnations-gifts from the classes. The day's festivities culminated with the colorful launching of helium-filled bal- loons. Because of the signifi- cance that the Enthronement ceremony had for the school, students enjoyed all of the days' events. Many students were so enthusiastic that they wished the celebration could have been extended to yet another day. Gloria excluded! Junior Kathy Malenda com- mented, 'tlt made me aware of SHA's uniqueness.

Who soys Tho? lending o hond lsn'l fun work? Sqn? aqlgi n Call Did you ever feel that you needed someone to talk to besides your friends and fam- ily? Fortunately, a unique group of students did exist here to lend support to others. The Peer Counselors worked together to establish greater rapport within the school com- munity. Peer Counseling focused on communication skills, suggest- ing and discussing different methods of communication especially with peers. Meeting one night a week, Fr. John Pelletier and Mrs. Jane Reed led the girls in various ac- no problem too small tivities. As senior Dawn Peorce expressed, Peer Counseling has filled an empty space in- side me. lt has helped me to communicate with those around me. Peer counseling also shared new ideas with the community. They sponsored octivities such as the freshmen orientation day and the big sisterflittle sis- ter program. Individual coun- selors worked to welcome freshmen through guided tours of school, as well as skits de- picting life at SHA. Small groups of counselors researched se- lected topics - teenage sui- cide and cults, for example - and offered to speak about their area of expertise to local community groups. The overall goal of Peer Counseling centered not only on bringing people closer to- gether but also helping others to prepare for the challenges that faced them in the world. Each member of the group in- put new ideas and suggested solutions to various problems. All the girls eogerly shared their care for others and displayed valuable leadership qualities which were evident to every- one. J .., Above: Does she agree or disagree? The intense look on Joann Zamparo's face tells you that whatever idea has been brought up by Peer Counseling takes a lot of thought. Lett: The variety of Peer Counseling topics may surprise you.

Stu- dents and faculty members, with their own spirit and warmth, contributed to the family atmosphere at SHA. Giving and sharing were the important mottos of the school and each event was evidence of that. Plentiful baskets of food on Thanksgiving and stockings bursting with brightly wrapped presents at Christ- mas were only small signs of the students' generosity. Later, volunteers delivered the color- ful stockings to local schools amidst the laughter of the chil- dren. Students, filled with the holiday spirit, spread the warmth of love from inside SHA to the out- side world in a unique way. l'm glad that I was one of the lucky ones who had the opportunity to go, commented Debby Howe. lt was really enjoyable. Melissa Moore agreed, adding, I was just as excited to deliver the stockings as the kids were to re- ceive them -just to see the looks on their faces. The Christmas party on De- cember 'IO gave goose bumps to everyone because it was a time for exchanging gifts and feasting. Each class assisted in the trimming ofthe tree which with which their combined efforts seemed a sym- bol of school unity. Holiday parties were not the only thing that brought the four classes and the faculty togeth- er. The pep rally for the basket- ball team symbolized one of the most supportive events of the year. The classes came to- gether and cheered their team on to victory. The gym was filled with optimism and exuberance as the pep rally closed with the school's Alma Mater. SHA exemplifies a place of love and happiness. Each girl devoted her heart to each special day which created new memories, memories to be treasured forever.

'M af ig if J S l Slipping on an everlasting memory Sure, sweaTy palms were normal when one was nervous abouf an exciTing evenT. BuT when one of Those sweaTy palms belonged To a SHA ju- nior, you could be cerTain ThaT a class ring had jusT been slipped on her finger. On Janu- ary 29 The class of 4987, To- gefher wiTh Their families and The faculfy, celebraTed This very special evenT. During The celebraTion, which The girls planned Them- selves, The juniors came To re- alize whaT The class ring was all abouT. IT was a unique expres- sion of who They were, where They would go, and whaT They would become. The ring was 2OfJunior Ring an expression of Themselves jusT as They were an expression of God. Each junior also received a long-sfemmed rose which sym- bolized The maTuriTy They had gained Thus far and The exper- iences ThaT awaiTed Them for The resT of Their high school years. Friendships were also an impor- TanT Theme in The ring ceremony. The friendships made aT SHA would be never-ending like The circular shape of The ring. As hugs were given and rings were Turned, Those special friendships became a liTTIe more meaningful. The ceremony was one of The mosT exciTing Things ThaT hap- pened To The juniors. Nof only did iT mean someThing special for each girl, buf iT also gave The enTire class a deeper sense of The unify and spiriT They pos- sessed. When asked why she looked forward To receiving her class ring, Junior Kafie Burke replie- d, lT symbolizes how far we've come and The shorf disTance we have yef To go. Jackie Anfos added, The ring repre- senfs The mosT imporfanf Things I will Take wiTh me when I leave SHA - The friendships l've made. The class of 87 had some- Thing ThaT no one could Take away from Them - a unique- ness ThaT made Them who They were. , A 2 S 3 W Q M M f 1 2 .- 'fm' A xv ,Q 5 1 R4 Q K Q vw .Q Q B 1 A g 4 Y 'W 4 E QT 'Y 95 S' 1+ 9 Q S' iv .1 Ji W Q 13.

Kustom -made to fit any taste or temperament On special Wednesday afternoons, girls at Sacred Heart were busy learning new skills, preparing for the future, absorbing foreign culture, or improving their physical fitness. All of this self-improvement was part of activity period, an hour that was set aside each month to allow students to ac- quire a new skill or just enjoy a change of pace. Teachers at SHA as well as individuals from the community volunteered their time and talents in con- ducting sessions. Some activi- ties, including tennis, bowling, and ice skating, required par- ticipants to leave school. Many others involved putting in extra time during the month to fulfill their activity requirements. With the wide variety of pro- grams offered, students were sure to find something that inter- ested them. For those who prided themselves on their physical con- dition, there was aerobics, bowl- ing, dance, horseback riding, ice skating, and tennis. Others found that the Italian, French, Spanish, and Latin Clubs helped them to broaden their knowledge of the world around them. Many activities resulted in the acquisition of practical skills like baking, sewing, signing, and CPR. Other provided artistic skills such as silkscreening, candlewick- ing, guitar playing, and callig- raphy. After seven sessions of their individual activities, students came away feelin as thought they had learned something special that would be useful to them in the future. When asked how she found the sign language activity beneficial, Eileen Sorcinelli re- sponded, Since l plan to work with handicapped children, sign language will be useful to me in the future and I enjoyed learning a new language.

Horses, phoTos, and skaTes were defi- niTely in. They seemed To be The laTesT addiTions To The 4985- 4986 acTiviTy favoriTes. Specially delivered To SHA, These feaTures arrived jusT in Time To add a new dimension To The year. Sponsoring indoor skaTing and loads of fun, Sr Ellen moderaTed ice skaTing aT The EasT Haven rink. SkaTers aTTempTed all kinds of Tricks on The ice. The girls de- pended on deTerminaTion and will power so ThaT falls were fol- lowed by deep breaThs and several more aTTempTs. The ThoughT of hoT chocolaTe afTer skaTing kepT mosT girls moving aT a sTeady pace. SkaTing in pairs was very common as was sharing Tricks of The Trade. Even novices were soon on Their way To becoming successful skaTers while focusing on having a good Time. BrighT and in focus, The world appeared black and whiTe To The PoTography Club. AfTer flashing Their cameras, The girls spenT much Time in The dark room developing Their phoTos. Exposed film and blank nega- Tive became The dreaded wor- ries of The phoTographers. Once Their skills were perfecTed, some girls enTered selecTed phoTo- graphs in conTesTs or in school publicaTions. STudenTs who loved horses found an ouTleT wiTh horseback riding. ExperiemenTing wiTh ad- venTure, They were able To learn or improve upon differenT equi- TaTions from sTeering To jumping. The Yale Polo and Equesfrian Club provided The horses and in- sTrucTor and The girls learned rid- ing Techniques as well as care for The horses. Sr. JudiTh summed iT up, I Thoroughly enjoyed iT and have always loved horses. IT was a God- given occasion and I looked forward To iT every monTh. Ice skaTing, phoTography, and horseback riding provided ex- ciTing feaTs for Those inTeresTed. These laTesT arrivals aT SHA proved beneficial and enjoy- able.

While some chose To isolaTe Themselves in a cubicle, oThers preferred The view and comforT afforded by The window seaTs5 buT wherever They were, each was busy Taking noTes, wriTing bibliographies, or gaThering background informaTion. The library was noT only for The English wriTers, however. HisTory, religion, and science sTudenTs also used iTs exTensive resources To gaTher informaTion for various pro- jecTs, oral and wriTTen. As Diane Zadroga claimed, lT's easy To use and l know ThaT l will find someThing for whaTever projecTs I am working on. Also, iT is a cool and quieT place To work. Finally, The research was done, and The Term papers were hand- ed in or The projecTs were compleTed. Everyone breaThed a sigh of relief.

The first religious com- munity was founded by St. Benedict . . . Was that Lincoln and Douglas debating in room 7? Why were four gypsies singing in room 4? Mysterious as these questions may have seemed, they were easy to answer. ln an effort to bring subjects alive, many teachers asked their students to give oral presentations on some topic for the class. ln history courses reformers proclaimed the evils of the 20th cen- tury society, or declared heatedly that it was America's destiny to spread democracy. The research and presentation of moral issues and values in reli- gion classes brought an opportunity for students to discuss and learn what living a Christian life meant to them. ln English classes students - actors and viewers - enjoyed the scenes before them. Many of the presentations brought out the history behind the novel, providing the chance for lively discussions about the 4920's or the role of women in the Victorian age. As Rita- Marie Rogers claimed, Standing in front of the class builds your confidence: and as you do more presentations, it becomes easier to talk in front of other people. Catherine Dell'Oro agreed, but she also stated, The presentations are a lot of fun to give or watch, and they make whatever you read more real and easier to under- stand. Whatever the topic, presentations became an entertaining form of learning.

OTher blunders were a liTTle more noTiceable, like SisTer Mary Jo Talking To The Telephone man, Thinking he was a girI's faTher, and Mrs. Jeanne Treanor Trying To open The elevaTor wiTh her car key!

Mrs. Colasanto graduated from Albertus Magnus College and went on to study at Southern Connecticut State University where she received her master's degree in English. What made teaching so rewarding to Mrs. Colasanto is 'tthe spark you find in a question or answer and espe- cially the love of literature that is transferred. She believed that the students have become much more informal, which I like very much. Mrs. Colasanto's students re- garded her highly both as a teacher and a person. As Maria Morrison stated, She's excellent: really good in class . . . an excel- lent teacher. When asked why she has stayed at Sacred Heart for 25 years, Mrs. Colasanto replied, I enjoy the relationships between the sisters and the lay teachers. I also enjoy the freedom l've been given to pursue what l think is im- portant. And l've enjoyed all my students very much. Mrs. Elaine Piazza Sr. Mary Jo Porter Mrs. Jane Reed . .k.

AlThough The afTermaTh of Gloria's rampage was noT as severe as firsT forcasTed, iT was significanT. Surrounding areas were lefT wiThouT elecTriciTy and waTer. Even The mosT prepared could noT escape her consequences. Regardless of The inconveniences caused by The sTorm, however, sTudenTs were TreaTed To an unexpecfed break. Lack of elecTrical power forced The closing of school for 3 days. ln addiTion, over 50 Trees were uprooTed on SHA's properly - Two massive oaks fell direcf- ly across The road. The quick acTion of some generous faThers cleared The paTh wiThin a day. Once school resumed again, sTudenTs and faculTy agreed ThaT Gloria was a once-in- a-lifefime experience - hopefully!

Some ThoughT They'd be looked down upon because They were jusT 'lfreshmenf' Ofher common fears included keeping up grades, doing well on exams, geffing Their locker open, walking inTo The righT class, and finding Their way around school. One group of freshmen agreed ThaT They feared going To a school wiThouT boys. However, lockers deco- raTed wiTh favorife idols kepT Them up To daTe on The male populafion. Before long, freshmen learned ThaT all Their fears were replaced wiTh The feeling ThaT They were an inTegraI parT of SHA.

In ThaT span SHA has conTinued To move forward wiTh The Times, while yeT reTaining iTs original spiriT and dedicaTion To The Sacred HearT of Jesus. The firsT major TransiTion Took place in 4957 when The school moved from Greene STreeT To The MounT. In 4984 anoTher significanT modi- ficaTion was The consTrucTion of The new library and fine arTs cenTer. The old library was suc- ceeded by new adminisTraTive offices. In The midsT of all This movemenT Sacred HearT was changing on anoTher level. The once brown plaid skirT and whiTe bucks were replaced by The cranberry ouTfiT and brown shoes. The alTeraTion in The uniform was sym- bolic of The oTher changes Taking place. For example, many sTudenTs began To drive Their cars To school. The girls were also geffing ouT inTo The working world, and permission of The principal was no longer required To work during The school week. Some Things, however, haven'T changed. The faculTy have reTalned The spiriT of Sacred HearT's firsT principal, Sr. AnTonine. Their warmTh and genuine concern for all sTudenTs have given TesTimony To Their loyal commiT- menT.

You cruised along the high- way and side streets and then all of a sudden . . . something you surely didn't anticipate. Could it be possible, all that traffic was backed up on Benham Street? What a coincidence! Every car and its driver had the same destina- tion, that home-away-from-home, SHA! The Motor Vehicle Department surely was a popular spot for SHA students. It seemed each day the SHA parking lot shrunk in size. Because of the constant influx of new drivers in the school, obtaining parking permits was big busi- ness. Finding a parking space in the SHA derby took a lot of determination, especially for those new drivers who not only occupied three spaces for their one car but also took at least ten minutes to park. Finally when everything got cozy outside, chaos began inside. The line for the phone was unbearable. Each new driver put in a call to their impatient mother who stood shaking by the telephone until they knew their very own Mario Andretti was safe and sound in school. xx 'J s. s Q A Q N Q K ,Q si' x . , W.,,.,4f- W..

The only way to placate that problem was to go out and get a job. The quest for a career was on. Job opportu- nities could be heard of Through friends, rel- atives, and teachers. Newspapers were combed for employment. School bulletin boards were consulted for part-time jobs ranging from an ice-cream scooper at Ash- ley's to a receptionist at Supercuts. When the search was over, job applicants were faced with application forms. Those forms involved filling out name, address, date of birth, social security number, and school, and also inquired about any previous em- ployment and a person to contact for re- commendation. Employers looking for highly creative individuals threw in a few whom- mies like, l'What do you expect to get our of this job? An interview attempted to de- termine if the candidate was worthy for the job. After the ordeal was over, students went home to hope that they too would be given a place in the wonderful world of work. 7AfJuniors ,A X 1 T x.

Emily asks the Stage Manager in Act Three of Our Town. Quietly, the Stage Manager replies, No - saints and poets -- maybe they do. This was just one of the plays used by students while auditioning for the newly-in- troduced Drama Club, which was greeted with much enthusiasm by the students. Twenty-five prospective actresses and eight members of the stage crew proudly called themselves the SHA Drama Club. And so the hard work began. During meetings, which were held every Tuesday, participants from all four classes strutted and fretted their hour upon stage while picking up tidbits about the theater. In addi- tion to learning acting techniques, breath- ing and voice exercises were practiced. Word pronunciation and projection were considered important factors when articu- lating on stage and were therefore stressed at meetings. Meetings also gave members the necessary time to brush up on acting skills before trying out for the musical. Rehearsals began for two productions, The Women of Troy and The Ladies of the Tower. Both one-act plays were put on for faculty and students. When asked what she liked most about the Drama Club, sophomore Maryan Lee stated that it gave her the chance to learn more about how to act and perfect it 76fSeniors Simono Boruoco Noncy Bonillo Kimberly Boyce Colleen Brondf Suson Britton Deboron Bun Aniiomorie Colomo Kimberly Caldwell Qynne Charboneau Charlene Chiara Janine Canelli Alisa CenoTTl wkzhg OT ine major evenTs during The year 1985- 86, one ouTsTanding issue was The develop- ing relaTionship beTween The UniTed STaTes and The SovieT Union.

The company's represen- tative, Mr. Michael Alfano, super- vised the production ofthe book. Senior portraits were photo- graphed by Loring Studios of Mil- ford. Avant Garde was the type- face used in this book: 12 and 10 points for body copy and 10 and 8 points for captions. Headlines in Avant Garde bold were set by Jostens. Plaza, Shamrock, Shat- ter, Flashlight, Peignot Bold, Uni- versity Roman Display, Eurostile and Pendry Script headline styles were set by the layout staff. 60, 36, 30 and 24 points were used for main headlines, while 18 and 14 points were used for sub- heads. Clelian 1986 was a 124 page yearbook with a 16 page supplement. The 1986 Clelian staff sincerely thanks Sr. Ellen, the faculty and our classmates for their enthusi- asm and encouragement. We also extend our deepest appre- ciation and gratitude to our advi- sors, Sister Veronica Anne Beato and Sister Jude Ruggeri, for their time, guidance and support. lndexf123 One step at a time Within the SHA communi- ty, every girl climbed her own iadder of success. Each rung symbolized a new step in a positive direction. Out- standing events that oc- curred throughout the year aided every member in climbing toward her own greatness. New ideas such as the Student Exchange Day and the Event-of-the-month helped the girls to climb a step higher. Spring Week, pep rally, dances, and sports all added to the at- mosphere of caring and support. The school community also reached out to help those around them. From food at Thanksgiving to stockings at Christmas, SHA was more than willing to as- sist others. Loving hearts reached out toward the less fortunate. In uniting the indi- vidual's heart with those of the community, it was evi- dent that all hearts at SHA truly did beat as one.

From the lead roles to the chor- uses all on the cast agreed the experience was unforgettable, as was evident after their last performance They ended clos- ing night with both tearful good- byes and hopeful excitement as thoughts turned to next year. Joann Zamparo who played Yente the Matchmaker enthusi- astically confirmed this. I have come to every play since 1972 and always dreamed of being on the SHA stage. It was the highlight of my year. I enjoyed the pres- sure the deadlines but most im- portantly the people. I am look- ing forward to the musical next year because l really loved it! s ,IE If gt 5 Ness was The curTain opened on a dark sTage.

This was whaT would have happened if all of The crews for Fiddler on The Roof had decided To sTay home The nighT of The show. AlThough unseen, The crews of The SHA musical provided The professional look for The show. These crews, including sound. make-up, lighT, sTage, and cos- Tume, were comprised of boTh sTudenTs and faculTy. The reasons for wanTing To be a parT of one of The crews were as differenT as The members Them- selves. Freshman Bee Mar, a member of The sTage crew ex- plained ThaT she joined This group because she enjoyed working wiTh The oTher crew members and The acTors and acTresses. 128fMusicaI M - i , Q X 'S an X 5 ' X R ze ' - ' 5 sq Y f .

Below: With Mr lovanne's understanding and enthusiasm, softball is much more than just a sport. Spark behind a marvelous season Eleven years of practice, elev- en years of games, and eleven years of sweat added up to a lot of fun and winning. SHA's long- time softball coach, William lo- vanne, who steered his team to a phenomenal 18-4 season, an- nounced in May his decision to resign after more than a decade of giving, teaching, and caring. Every day after school from March to June, you could have seen Mr. I practicing with the team. He gave up his afternoons and weekends to mold fine young individual athletes into winning teams. As head coach, he exper- ienced many tense moments. One could remember times when there were two outs, runners on second and third, and SHA was down by one run in the bottom of the seventh inning. The SHA bat- ter and the opposing pitcher felt like they were the only two peo- ple in the world. As they were sweating it out, Mr. lovanne would keep a calm outside ap- pearance, letting his girls know that he would be proud of them Softball, 1986 no matter what happened. Kim Reilly, who has been coached by Mr. lovanne for three years, told how she viewed her coach. The team was like a family and he was the father. We're going to miss him a lot.
