Siblings Weekend '98
By: Allison Grippe
What was the best part of Siblings
Weekend? Was it the ice cream social, or
was it the Whale show at the Plan­etarium?
Maybe it was bowling, or the
mind-reader ... possibley it was the mixer.
I think the highlight of the weekend was
best recognized by 14 year old David
Botty (brother to Amy Botty), when he
said that the best part of his weekend was
"being with my sister."
. Being with your sibling is what Sib­lings
Weekend is all about, the activities
merely added to the excitement! The
variety of activities were perfect for chil­dren
(and college students) of all ages.
Apparently, I am not as fun to be around .
as Amy because when I asked my 12 year
old cousin Jennifer Button what her fa­vorite
part of the weekend was, she said
..... definitely the dance."
The mixer was a huge success. Ev­eryone
seemed to be having a great time
as I made my way around tak ing pictures.
There were even a couple of three and
four year old 'show stealers' who were
dancing on chairs and clearing the floor!
All in all, the weekend was an enor­mous
success. Many thanks go out to all
those who organized and ran the activi­ties!
Siblings Weekend was a great way
to strengthen the bond between the sib­lings.

Nazareth Athletes
Honored
By: Halinka Spencer
On Tuesday. March 3rd, the Nazareth
coaches joined more than 10,000 other schools
nationwide in more than 100 countries to cel­ebrate
National Sportsmanship Day. This pro­gram,
created by the Institute for International
Sport, based at the University of Rhode Island. is
in it's eighth year. It was developed by the
Institute as a means to creale awareness about the
issues of ethics, fair play, and sportsmansh ip both
in athletics as well as within society.
In honor of this day, the athletic department
sponsored a Sportsmanship Week. One athlete
from each sports leam was honored as
"Sportsperson of the Week," Chosen by their
respective coaches, the athletes had their pictures
hanging on the bulletin board across from the
equipment room. To be honored, the coaches had
10 choose one person from their team whom they
felt showed the true purpose of sport and compe­tition,
and who had gained a better understand ing
of what is right and wrong on the playing field
and in life.
The ath letes who were chosen for this honor
were:
