Genuine avid adventure- seekers defeat towering enemies One didn't have to be born in the depths of the Arctic Circle. One didn't necessarily have to have size 23 feet talthough that might have helped tool. One didn't even have to have a normal body temperature of 50 de- grees. The only necessary re- quirement was an eagerness to have an exciting time on the five adventurous ski trips to Mt. Southington planned throughout the winter months. On a typical Friday, most students looked forward to the normal weekend events such as work, parties, dates, relaxation, and occasionally, some homework. But on the other side of the mountain, under the expert guidance of Miss Mary Lee and Mr. Carl Sieracki, approximately forty eager and daring thrill- seekers took off for Mount Southington for five con- secutive Fridays which began on january 9. For those girls who didn't feel 100, 50, or even 5 per- cent comfortable on the snow-covered slopes, les- sons were readily available to convert them into almost- Olympic gold medalists. But for those students who pos- sessed confidence, poise, skill, and their own ski boots, the mountain was immedi- ately ready to be conquered. One of the avid skiers said of the sport, It's fast and slow, frostbite and sunburn, skis and trees, fun and pain, victory and defeat and friends. All bundled up, lessica Hyde and Katie Reilly patiently wait for their turn on the slopes. Four experienced skiers, Mr. Carl Sieracki, Beth Lee, Ksenia Kzyzk, and Dee Reznik, take their positions ready to conquer the slopes. 3 e- vt, 'Nu- Q---vz . rv is 1 , , ftf. , , fin. i, sfoohf 'ol Ou . v 67 06 fir so 013,66 fo W 0 Ng' 66!

anniversary '49 Genuine relationships become individual and personal Participation has always been a main ingredient in the close-knit community that is Sacred Heart Acade- my. This year, to commemo- rate the 40th anniversary of the school, the faculty de- cided to invite parents to dinners that the teachers themselves prepared. The first dinner was held for the seniors' parents in Novem- ber. Each of the other classes' parents enjoyed meals in january and Febru- ary. This separation of classes, however, was about the only academic aspect of these evenings. All the participants were there to socialize.

In this way, the parents became acquainted with their daughters' teach- ers personally and also met other classmates' parents. In fact, they were able to be both informed and enter- tained by the evening's fes- tivities. Senior parent Iudy Mager, commented when the even- ing was over, I really en- joyed the dinner because it was a chance to get together with parents that I already knew and also to meet oth- ers who had daughters at Sa- cred Heart. zap 9-A to at' i 0 ob S Seniors! 65 J
