Celebrating Then 81 Now Some thought it would be difficult. Others thoughthit would be easy. How could something have changed so much, yet at the same time have remained the same deep down inside? It has been said that a book should not be judged by its cover. Well, SHA has had various bright covers in the past 40 years, but the story underneath hasn't lost a thing in the process. The uniform has changed, the hairstyles have changed, the meth- ods have changed, and even the people have changed. Yet some things have remained the same. Through these 40 years of advance- ment, the traditional values taught here have withstood the pro- gress of time. Who was responsible for making sure that these values stayed here? Teachers not only provided students with a firm foundation of knowledge, but also shared the benefits of their experiences outside the classroom. Parents were sources of wisdom that their daughters could rely on. Friends offered one another much-wel- comed support especially at difficult moments. Yes, values have been passed down from class to class through different generations of people. Though teachers, parents and stu- dents have come and gone for 40 years, they have made each year unique in the values that were cherished - love, understanding, and concern. Why was 1987 a unique year for Sacred Heart Academy? It was a time for celebration and a time for enthusiasm. It was the 40th anniversary of a school which had grown in many ways, while still maintaining a very real sense of its own values and traditions. So many of the things at SHA have changed - now I see D bo s around the school, skirts a ove the knee, and no more proms in the gym. But I still see the same kind of education and enthusiasm. -loan Zullo Biondi, Class of 1963 It's Our 40th, Let's Celebrate!f7 J
