Many loved the Bartles St James act portrayed by Sr. Mary Grace Giaimo and Sr. Ei- leen Bridge. Others were surprised to find Brother Carl so religiously-minded.

Wild Turkeython Taken from the perspec- tive of those who organized and participated in the sec- ond annual Turkeython, the program was a success for several reasons. Though the Turkeython may have been put on for the benefit of students, but many teachers would have participated even if there was no audience at all. The event gave them a chance to let loose and have fun. Most teachers hadn't dressed up as students, brides, or priests in a while, if ever, and they enjoyed the chance to do so.

This was a task Mrs. Connie Brommsberger had to master. She was a new addition to both the faculty and the athletics program, sewing as both an Algebra I and ll teacher and moon- lighting as this year's vol- leyball coach. She handled her respon- sibilities well. UI was a little bit nervous the first week of school, but after that I was fine. She enjoyed doing both jobs, feeling they gave HM 20 PWR Faculty her the opportunity to see the 'lother side of her stu- dents. Teaching and coaching are not that different, Mrs. Brownsberger said. ln both she reflected, she had to 'ialways expect the unex- pected. For Mrs. Brovms- berger, a native Louisianan who has lived in Connecti- cut for two years, coaching and teaching were two chal- lenges that she thoroughly enjoyed.
