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

It became popular as a title of the beginners in school. But Sacred Heart s sophomores were nobody's fools about anything and they didn't fool around about their determination to make a mark for themselves in high school. Sophomores made the varsity team in football, basketball, and volleyball. Several attended the Creighton Math Contest held at Creighton University. Speech class gave a number of promising sophs a chance to develop their oratory skills. Typing lessons were classes In skill, speed, and accuracy under the direction of Sister Ann Barton. 7

Sophs Learn For Future The last eclipse of the century. Don Strecker views the last eclipse over the United States until 2017. A quiet moment during a hectic day. Philip Knobbe checks out what he hopes will be a worthwhile book. The library wasn't always as quiet as it was supposed to be at Sacred Heart Before school it was one of several social centers students flocked to in the morning. Once classes began, however, the library became a center not for socializing, but a place for concentration and learning. The senior American Problems Class was taught by Coach Lonnie Ford while other subjects in the library included Sister Hilaria's speech class, and shorthand and business math taught by Sister Ann Barton. The library was headed by Mrs. Marcia Schwartz. The school board held its meetings on the second Tuesday evening of each month in the library. Faculty meetings used it on Friday mornings before classes began. The accommodations provided by the library made it an excellent conference room. Although the library was small it had an excellent reference and background information system. It included a wide selection of books and articles ranging from science fiction to Shakespearean literature Students could be found searching among the book shelves for information needed to complete a term paper, research paper or an assignment Quiet, peaceful, solitary, the library provided the ideal place for students to catch up on the latest novel.
