REYAM P for a new profile Changes in our schedule alleviated some pressures in school. They allowed me to be involved in other aspects SHA. One senior privilege is the oppor- tunity to eat outside - as Andrea Colonna demonstrates. At a September meeting, faculty members Fr. Ed Moran, Mrs. Elaine Lamboley, Mr. Paul Boucher, and Sr. Christine Ring get acquainted. l4fChanges in School Ouch ! So terribly sorry. Hey, watch it, Aunt Milli- cent ! I apologize, deary. The bustling lady came closer, waving the pins in her pudgy hands. lt was again time to fix the ever-receding hem on Mary's skirt. But it was when Mary returned to these halls did she see that her skirt wasn't the only thing that had been changed. A metamorphosis had transformed the school! One look at the schedule was proof that things had changed. Now there were four seventy-five minute classes a day. Morning homeroom was cropped to five minutes. Also, assem- bly appeared on the sched- ule. This was a break in the morning, a time for an- nouncements and relax- ation. In addition a new uni- form style began to replace the time-honored skirt. Freshmen invaded class- rooms and halls in a gray, plaid kilt. Not even the cafeteria was safe from the changes that swept the school. A food service replaced the snack and soda machines. Chewing gum was now allowed, as long as one didn't crack it during class. Also, abstract designs brightened many rooms while new pleated shades filtered the sun's glare. Overall, the school resem- bled Mary's skirt. With a few changes, she had something straight from her aunt's imagination. With alterations here, Mary had a school that showed it was able to change to meet the needs of an ever-altering world.

NC 16fStudent Council Press Release - Hamden: Student delegates convened at the National Leadership Training Center lNLTCl at LaSalle Military Academy in Oakdale, Long Island on july 10, 1986. There, the Student Council Executive Board, Margaret-Mary Donahue, Meg Kiely, Amy O'Brien, and lean Brandolini spent the next six days sharpening their leadership skills. Throughout each day, stu- lents representing the fifty tates attend numerous ses- ions on topics concerning ioal-setting, problem-solv- ig, and decision-making. eadership abilities were put to extensive use during small group sessions. These occa- sions gave the officers the opportunity to mingle with other delegates. As vice- president Meg Kiely re- marked, The friendliness was overwhelming. I felt at home and it didn't matter that we didn't know any- body. We all became fast friends. After the convention, the enterprising leaders wasted no time. During August, they planned upcoming school events such as the Fall Dance and the establishment of a snack shop. The Event of the Month was rejuvenated. Various contests were sponsered, in- up e citing competition and in- volvement. At the Enthrone- ment celebration, balloons were set off, containing the names and addresses of the students. Mrs. lane Reed was one of the lucky ones who received a response. Her balloon was found by a little boy in Durham, CT. Student Council worked hard to diffuse projects into the school. The key to a suc- cessful Student Council, ac- cording to President Marga- ret-Mary Donahue, is com- munication. It's a major fac- tor because the way in which you get your point across is important. lt's the key in get- ting things done. ZXVIY
