Transfer Talk Class of ‘21 is Animal Senior Embarrassing Crazy Unsung Heroes Moments Prom, To Go or Not to Go? Junior Prom Checking In: Spring Sports The Spartans Make Their Decisions By Ava Tavaglione The class of 2021 has had to overcome numerous obstacles this past year. But, they came out on top and did not let anything set them back. Where they are today would not be possible without the hard work and dedication they devoted to their schoolwork and other activities. With the end of the school year approaching, each senior tied a bow on the college application process on May 1st: Decision Day. This is the day each senior chose where they would be taking their next steps into their college experience. With some going far, and some staying close to home, each and every senior picked the college of their choice and could not be happier with their decision. The university with the most Immaculata seniors attending in the fall will be Rutgers University, with seven out of eighty six seniors. Although this was a popular choice this year, take a look where the rest of our seniors will be attending in the fall! Go Spartans! Remembering the Class of 2021 By Dylan Hayes The Class of 2021 will be remembered nationwide for the struggles they endured during the coronavirus pandemic, but how will the Immaculata Class of 2021 be remembered by their teachers? I interviewed three teachers from three different departments about the graduating class and how they have had the pleasure of experiencing the last four years with them.

    PRICELESS ISSUE NO. 84 OCT/NOV 12 Published by Joe Renna for the Sons of Peterstown Sports Club TIME PRESENT MIRRORS TIME PAST . Sacco & Sons Meat Market is celebrating its 65th year in business. The milestone Jcoincides with the grand opening of VB3 Restaurant and Bar. Although the two businesses are diametrically different, their fundamental principles are identical. The contrast between the two businesses is extreme. While the one-room butcher shop was without frills when it was opened in 1947, VB3 could only have existed in a science fiction magazine. The new restaurant is high tech to the max. The restaurant/bar has 30 large flat screen televisions worked into a funky décor of lights and furniture, coupled with state of the art audio/visual equipment and WIFI service. Late night, when the kitchen is closed, the space transforms into a happening hot spot. By comparison, in 1947 a hot water heater was considered a luxury. While Sacco’s butcher shop was modest even by 1940’s standards, VB3 is ahead of its time. Management was not satisfied with creating something common. The owners wanted to be inventive and do things differently, like artists; they wanted to improve on what already was. The improvement that Jimmy and Rose Sacco were seeking when they started their business was in their quality of life. Though the motivations behind each business are different the drive to succeed and the way to do it through hard work are the same. This comes with no surprise for it’s in the cultural roots that the businesses are so much alike.
