Two Brunette Scholars Among 'Outstanding' Thurs., July 16, 1964 ,Seniors at Sacred Hearts, Fairhaven Report Includes 'THE ANCHOR -
Two brunette scholars will be among ou tstanding person,alities of the senior claSS at Sacred Hearts Academy, Fairhaven, come September. They're Dale Wingert, president of the National Honor Society and student council secretary; and Rosanna Ventura, honor society vice-president and student council treasurer. There are advantages to being honor students at the Fairhaven school, confide the girls. S1;udents with perfect atten dance and an 85 per cent average can skip exams; if your attendance isn't .perfect, but you maintain a 90 per cent average, J'{)u can also skip them. "It sure keeps us coming to school," laughs RGsanna. Dale"is a member of St. Fran ~is Xavier parish, Acushnet, where she's active in CYO and Children of Mary. She has one sister and her parents are Mr. and Mrs. Chester Wingert. Spapish and biology are her favorite subjects and Spanish ean get a surreptitious workout at the Academy which has a large enrollment of se.D1lritas from Latin America. "They're really supposed to speak En glish all the time though, 110 they'll learn it," says Dale. She oopes to go to Boston Col lege where she'll maiC?r in ,soci- . ology-if she doesn't change her mind and decide upon nursing school. Other interests include tennis and all sports, glee club membership at ~hool, and tam ily camping.· . , 'l'he Wingerts have been campingfo'r seven years and they've traveled to Canada, Maine, Wisconsin and Montaina. Another trip to Canada is on the agenda for this Summer;' "The m'osquitoes are juSt· as big 1:here, though," sighs Dal~. . She's a strong advocate of family trips as opposed to organ ized Summer' camps, however. "The regular camps are too scheduled," she m.aintains, say ing she prefers a ·relaxed vaea tion regime.

"She wants me to ap preciate the value l>f an educa tion," she explains. When asked what she liked best at school she immediately and diplomatically replied, '"The teachers," then added-that fav orite subjects are languages and eommercial offerings.

mused.

Eight Sisters arrived in Fair haven in August, 1908 to found the' Academy. They were the first religious in Fairhaven aIid are still in charge of two pariSh $chools in Fairhaven in addition to their own academy. The Sisters began 'fheir work on the graromarschool level and by 1911 had organized a high achooi. 'In the early years the academy was largely a boarding school but today day nudents predominate. In 1918 a iann adjoining the sohQOI was purchased, extending the campus an entire block. One of the community's par ticular devotions is that of the Enthronement of" the Sacred Hearts and this was carried out at the academy in 1918.

has reported the administra tion's "war on poverty" bill to the Senate floor after amend ing it to permit participa'tion ,by private, non-profit agencies in two of its key programs. Under the amendment, pri vate non-pr.ofit agencies, includ ing church-related schools, would be authorized to partici pate in the measure's work training and work-study pio grams, envisioned as a plan to give work and expei"ience to young people aged 16 to 21 to increase their employability and to provide· part-time employ';.. ment to enable them to stay ia. a:hool. Like Bouse VerslOIl The measure calls for some 200,000 young people to take part in 1:he work-training pro gram. Participation by church:" related schools and other private agencies would be allowed 'so long, as it did not involve youths , in projects for the con~cti~n, operation .or maill'tenance of as mUch of a :&..cility as .is used fOr ~ian purposes. Thearilended Senate bill thus is close to the House version'-of the legislation, which is no", before the Rules Committee. The House bill provides for parti:" cipation of Church-related 'schools and other agencies'in the work-training qnd' work stu~y prograID$ provided their projects do not involve the youths in projects on facilities to be used "solely" for sectarjan pur,PG&e&
