High school starts a new chapter in a teenager's life. With high school come decisions and responsibilities that signify young adulthood. Learning can be a tremendous challenge or a humilitating debacle depending on how well a young person handles his new independence. Young people in high school learn very soon that their school team needs their loyalty to help them win. Their friends need loyalty, too. So do the teachers and so do the young people to themselves. Self-respect and loyalty go hand in hand with each other. Starting high school is a big step towards tomorrow and the future. It can be one of the greatest times in a person s life, if he can shape its potent power to suit his destiny. Challenges faced in a teen's years are always important, whether they are of major consequence or not. The actions that are taken reflect the future type of person that teenager will be. Growing up is never easy, but it can make adulthood a little more so. “Hello. Mom? Betsy Marx takes a call. Learning is instruction.

Swinging Into Action Songs in the keys of life. Trumpeteer Doug Goltz blasts out a clear and crisp tone with the epitome of concentration. Sacred Heart s concert band was directed by Sister Madeleva Ditmars. Along with the great talent of some dedicated young musicians. Sister used her many years of musical experience and developed a concert group known throughout the area for its ability and its own special sound. Besides the many hours of work and endless attempts at reaching the mythical plateau of perfection, the band played at the Irish pep rallies and attended several basketball games held at Prichard Auditorium. Members also attended the Galaxy Conference Instrumental Clinic at the end of March. English class has many different facets to hold and interest a student. Sacred Heart had its share of classes with something different. Maybe it was myths — learning stories about nice teachers. Science fiction — learning about the weird creatures that lurk about SH. Or Creative Writing — learning to write the “bright’’ sayings that at times adorned the bathroom walls. Seriously. English classes were taught by Mrs. Marcia Schwartz, and Miss Linda Uher. Some base studies touched on were humanities, literature, grammar, and term papers. Students in sophomore English work diligently on a quiz after viewing a film relating to their studies of the English language. 8
