N UNITE the ties that bind I like having sisters. I wouldn't want to be the oldest though - being the youngest has advantages! I can do things my sisters couldn't at my II age -Aimee Gallagher Family. The word con- jured up thoughts of moth- er, father, sisters, and broth- ers. What would life be like without that never-ending circle known as the family? Although people might have smiled and said, Peaceful, most people agreed that their families, no matter how diverse, played an essential part in their lives. During the adolescent years, siblings played in- creasingly important roles in relations to each other. One advantage to living among several siblings was the closeness in relationships. Patti O'Connor, the second youngest of eight freckled children proclaimed, I feel extremely lucky to have all these people around me. I am never just another O'Connor. We are all indivi- duals, sharing everything with each other. But even though being one of eight could guarantee variety combined with closeness, there were occa- sional disadvantages. Kim Reilly, who always had a little brother or sister around ad- mitted, The lack of privacy gets aggravating. Only children faced other trials and tribulations. jessica Frisco boasted, I love being I an only child. I'm spoiled rotten! On the other hand, an anonymous senior ob- served that the life of an only child was sometimes lonely. Children living with only one parent sometimes had totally different outlooks on the family. They often car- ried more responsibilities and, consequently, valued the family more than usual. Tricia Biondi reflected, Even though there's only two of us, we're as much a family as anyone else. And we're not only mother and daughter, we're also best friends. The togetherness encouraged by the Freshman-Parent Liturgy is dis- played in the smiles of Mr. Raffone and his daughter, Kristen. At the Card Party on October 6, Mrs. Louise Manfreda, Mrs. Dolores Constantino, Mrs. Lucy Minichino, and Mrs. Mary Io Lee, anticipate the night's festivities. Familiesf13
