if xt 'k' X From year to year each class at Sacred Heart Academy grew and matured-not sim- ply in size, but also in the diversity of its members. However, many aspects of the school have remained the same. The freshmen dealt with the same fears and insecurities of being in a new atmo- I 0 sphere and being ac- cepted. The seniors still faced the pressures of graduation require- ments and college ap- plications. The personalities of the members compos- ing the community cre- ated a family-like atmo- sphere. Both students and teachers came from a variety of towns-and even countries. Each class, whether the first one in 1946 or the newest group des- tined to graduate in 1990, had its own spe- cial characteristics. In spite of structural changes, the warmth and closeness felt throught the communi- ty remained alive and strong. Under the supervision of Sr. Ursula back in 1964, Patricia Tomszyk, Beth Kiley and Marilyn Manuguerra prac- tice their lines for the musi- cal, Peter Pan.

9 SMEMRSQ I f Checking lights is part of Sr. Dolores' daily rou- tine as lackie Cirillo and Dina Lattanzi look on. Houeydropper C'mon honey, we got work to do! By the end of freshmen year, everyone knew that this was the voice of Sr. Do- lores sneaking up behind them in the hall. Making sure everyone kept busy and got to class on time, was not the only responsibility Sr. Dolores had. She was often seen turning off unnec- essary lights in the cafeteria, rearrang- ing chairs in the lecture hall, or walking down the hall with a basket of laundry trailing behind her. There was never a day that Sr. Dolo- res didn't have a cheerful smile or a philosophical word for anyone she passed on one of her many daily tours of the school. One of her most familiar bits of advice was to: live one day at a time, because you never know how much longer you have. lt never mat- tered to anyone that she didn't know their names, everyone was satisfied with being called Honey. In the spring she celebrated her 50th anniversary in religious life. Although she often said that she was slowing down as she got older, anyone who tried to keep up with her for one day would definitely have disagreed.
