THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME Above: Jenny Donnelly performs at the Christmas Concert. Above right: Junior Theresa Le believes it’s never the right place or the right time to have her picture taken. Right: Sister Gerrie Grabow puts the final grade on one more paper. How many times in the past year did you find yourself in the wrong place, doing the wrong thing, saying the wrong thing? Probably more than you’d care to remember. But let’s not dwell on that; let’s relive The Right Places and the Right Times of the year gone by. It is fitting that this yearbook is styled in the form of a calendar, to remind us of the places we’ve been. Anytime is the right time for remi- niscing and any place will do. You know a lot happened to you . . . your first Teresian, the first time you took your driving test, the first time you flunked, your ten second solo in the play, your parents leaving you alone while they went on vacation, your first natural disaster. These are all times you could never forget — no matter how hard you try. So turn back the pages and travel through your memories of the right place and the right time. St. Teresa’s Academy 1985-86.

 The yearbook is a history book. It represents what has taken place in the last year. In this past year, change has taken place in the year- book staff. Sr. Jean ladevito, the woman in charge of all that went into the yearbook for many years, decided to devote more time to teaching, and her own artistic pursuits. So, this year has been a learning time, a transition time, and for the most part, a time on the edge. As the co-editor of this book, I felt challenged be- cause there were times when I was at a loss as to how to do something, and no one else seemed to know either. At those times, I couldn’t help but think that Sr. Jean would have known what to do. Perhaps we didn’t realize until Sr. Jean left, just how much we relied on her to do things for us. This year, we have learned to figure things out on our own or as a group — and it hasn’t always been easy. So, we have grown in this past year, and we have changed, and that will be reflected in this book. To Sr. Jean, we want to dedicate this book and all of our changing and learning and grow- ing, and, of course, we want to say thank you for all of your past help and influence. Now, turn the pages, and see how we’ve changed!
