A familiar picture draws Maria Pisa- no and Margaret Rose's attention to one of the collages in the cafeteria. One ol the speakers at the celebra- tion was a member of the first class, Sr. Adrianne DiLonardo, who re- marks on the intense development of the school. Anxiously awaiting the start of the 40th Anniversary dinner, Sr. Ellen Cronan and Fr. Robert Ladish remi- nisce about their years together at SHA.

For juniors and seniors, this question was asked on May 2, 1987 - the day after the long-awaited prom. Was it worth it? Was it worth paying 5200 for a N: iaofvrom gown that may only be worn for a mere 5 hours? Was it worth buying S40 shoes that were so incredibly difficult to find? Was it worth trying hairstyle after hairstyle at S15 apiece until you were almost bald? Was it worth spending S30 on accessories that don't go with anything else in your wardrobe? Was it all Worth the S65 bid? With total ex- penses possibly exceeding 5365, the question was an- swered by Florinda Hilger. After all the expense and preparation, it seems it should last longer. It was definitely worth it, though. Bright and smiling faces - shimmering and sparkling gowns - a spirit of happi- ness with no cares to darken spirits: that is my impression of the prom. -Mrs. Colasanto
