Uur Sen limental fourne Postcards seldom seem signihcant. The ones we re- ceived in the spring of 1950, however, notifying us of our success in the Academys entrance exam, were of tremendous import, To us they were railroad reser- vations for the SHM Express bound for distant realms of higher learning. To fill out registration forms took but a few minutesg we were ready for a four-year journey. By a strange cofincidence, it took but a few minutes, too, to receive our diploma. But what a vast expanse of discovery and adventure lay between. Let's take a sentimental journey to renew the memories of those treasured years. All aboard! First stopvlsreshman Year! Drumming hearts set a musical pattern and oui supposedly green pallor clashed with the fiery au- tumnal scenery as we entered the Academy. NX'e were soon subjected to a gradual indoctrination and experi- ienced the inevitable breath-taking climb to the heights of Park Terrace and the moments of abysmal inferiority in the presence of upperclassmen. After two days of Initiation brightened by bows, balloons and reversed garments and by the delightful Senior-Freshman party, we found ourselves quite adapted to the Academy-scene as we bribed the juke box with our nickles . . . joined in the activities of the Riding, Camera, and Crlee Clubs . . . cheered lustily at basketball games . . . laughed self-consciously at our revealing entries in the Baby Contest . . . frowned over the mysteries of Algebra and Latin . . . and la- bored to make our first Bazaar a resounding success. Our debut on the Academy stage was made in the Windmills of Holland' '.,. our social success at the Freshman Valentine Dance . . . followed by our super- lative marching on St. Patricks Day . . . our first retreat with Rev. sl. Gorry. C.S.P .... our amusing endeavors in the first Sing as SI-lM's baby-freshmen . . . our painful yet laughable appearances after Field Day '... and finally the doleful farewells at the departure of our Senior Sisters. Next stop-Sophomore Year!
