1 fi? a Friendship is t h e g o l d e n thread that binds the hearts to- gether. This was the theme the juniors chose for a very special celebration. On January 27, many weeks of anticipation and hours of preparation came to a climax. The waiting was over. The Class of 1989 finally re- ceived their class rings. The evening began with a spe- cial Mass that had been planned by a committee of juniors. Jen Altieri and Joanne Cwiertniewicz read during the Mass, while Tri- cia Carey and Maria Ciulisano were responsible for bringing the gifts up during offertory. Rachel Proulx observed, 'tThe commit- tee worked very hard to make this night a memorable one. At the end ofthe Mass, the mo- ment arrived. One by one, the members of the Class of '89 were Left: Fr. Ed hands Justine LoCascio her nng after Sr. Ellen announced her name.

She was also presented with a red rose from either her class president, Jenn Barba or vice-president, Justine LoCascio. Giving out the roses really made me feel a part of the unity we shared as a class that evening, commented Justine. Thejunior class knelt and read a prayer that had been written for them by the committee. lt ex- pressed thanks for their unity and wishes for continued strengthening of friendships. After the prayer, the girls stood and sang the alma mater. The Mass ended with the singing of Pass lt On and the girls then processed out of the chapel. After Mass the fun began. As they celebrated with their par- ents and friends, thejuniors con- tinued a tradition at Sacred rings 89 times. Many girls chose to have their best friends turn their rings first. There was more than ample opportunity for the girls to have rings turned at the reception in the cafeteria that fol- lowed the ceremony. This proce- dure continued tfor some, even into the next dayb until the 89th turn. The evening was a special oc- casion that bonded the juniors together. Sarah Lyons comment- ed, the ceremony brought us closer as a class and made us feel like a bigger part of the school. Amy Lyons agreed, l will always remember it as an event that got us further involved in SHA. Each girl received her treasured classs ring that. years from now, would bring back fond memories of her high school years. gem 85522155 Ring CeremonyfJuniors
