Beautiful 15 dy It requires determination but the reward s Worth it. Many people considered exercise a word that belonged in the same category as gym class. Many others, however,just defined it as the price one had to pay if she wanted to achieve the body beautiful or at least semi-beautiful . Some girls returned home after an ex- hausting day at school and before attempt- ing their nightly homework assignments, or perhaps later before going to bed, incor- porated some kind of exercise into their daily routines. lt could have included any- thing from aerobics to jogging, or in some cases, going to a health spa. Leslie Cren- sicki faithfully followed her oum 45-minute workout every night. Motives behind exer- cising varied. Some did it to improve their overall fitness. Sara Wilson did it for fun. She participated in C.Y.O. cheerleading and weekly aerobic exercises for enjoy- ment. Many upperclassmen found them- selves exercising vigorously during late winter in an effort to shed unwanted pounds and fit into the prom govms of their dreams. During the spring, girls, like Tricia Carey, frequented tanning centers, trying to get a head-start on their summer tans. This was based on the popular idea that a beautiful body sported a golden tan. No matter what their reasons, those who were serious about their appearances stuck to their rou- tines and maintained a healthy look. Left: Stretch those muscles!

Burning the midnight oil, Mrs. Peg Boucher and Mrs. Susan Ciagliardi set up the prizes the night before the Card Party. Familial bencla lt is relative to how one gets involved in the apirit. At Sacred Heart, family meant much more than just parents and their chil- dren. Basic to its philosophy, its mem- bers formed a family-like community. Many events were organized by parent and school committees to promote student! parent involvement. The first of these was the FreshmanfParent Liturgy which took place on September 255, enabling freshmen and their parents to become better ac- quainted with the school. On December 6, over 500 mothers and their daughters took off on a shopping spree in New York City. Jointly sponsored by the Mothers Club and Student Council, this was the first time this trip was offered and it was very successful. The chairpeople were constantly increasing the number of buses due to the high level of interest. A total of six buses traveled in to the city on that Sunday morning. Two other events that brought families closer together were the annual Father- Daughter Communion Breakfast on Plo- vember 8 and the Mother-Daughter Valen- tine Luncheon on February 7. These spe- cial times not only served as an outlet for communication, but also created memo- ries that will last forever.
