As one walked through the halls, stories of gowns, boutennieres, and accessories could be heard. This memorable evening took place at Sante's Manor on Friday, April 8. After taking pictures and surviving the receiving line, the couples were able to relax and enjoy the evening. For many couples the prom itself was special, but for Maria Antonucci there was an added touch that made the evening more memorable: The prom was doubly special this year: not only was it my senior prom, but it was also my 18th birthday. My friends surprised me with a birth- day cake. l truly had the time of my life. This unforgettable evening was made possible by the prom committee, who were: Laura Ferraiolo, Tan- ya Philbrick, co-chairpersons, Linda Maher, Michele Mattei, Jennifer Pauza, Aimee Gallagher, Maureen Mclieon, and Sheryl Sink. The moderators were Sr. Veronica Beato and Sr. Eileen Bridge. When asked how she thought the prom went, Sr. Eileen comment- ed, i'l'm glad that everyone seemed to enjoy the prom, because the committee worked long and hard to try and make it an experience everyone would enjoy. The evening seemed to go very smoothly, so the months of work were worth it! ?35?i3vS1542?25GS5 PTOITI

jumping elevates the level of morale to the heights One girl ran around the track, working hard, straining every muscle while another perfected her technique for high jumping. Though it may have looked easy, skill, determination and lots of practice were necessary for the members of the track and field team. Events in track and field included thejavelin, discus, shotput, long and high jumps, relays, hurdles, and distance runs and sprints. A willingness to do one's best was important. This was some- thing that Kim Murphy achieved. Kim broke a school record in the S5200-meter by an impressive 25 seconds. Kim commented, I have made a lot of new friends and had fun achieving my goals. Besides being hard work, track is a lot of fun, and it makes me feel really good about myself when l do well at a meet. Jessica Hyde placed eighth in the state for the 500fhurdles event at the state meet. Jessica was the first Sacred Heart stu- dent to 'compete at this level. The skill of the students wasn't the only factor that made the team what it was. Coaches Diane Wright and Paul Boucher played important roles in the develop- ment of track and field as a sport at Sacred Heart. Jen Olsen re- calls, uAt first I thought the hur- dles would be really hard to jump over, but Diane encour- aged me to keep at it. With the persistence of students and guid- ance of Ms. Wright and Mr. Boucher, Sacred Heart enjoyed a second year of track and field.
