AT THE BEAUTIFUL La Jolla Country Club the juniors paid their official farewell to the seniors when they presented the Junior-Senior Prom. May 14. After an enjoyable evening of dancing, juniors realized that in the space of a few weeks they would become mighty seniors. AS A FINAL class project, the junior drama class presented the play, DUB LADY OF FATIMA, on Maryis Day. May 28. On June 7, at graduation the juniors dressed in pastel formals formed the traditional Guard of Honor for the seniors. The joys of junior year are past, but in a short time the happy days of seniors will be theirs. F. Green, M. Norman, M. Moser, B. Fleetwood, president vice-president secretary treasurer J. Henehan L. Hernandez .l. Hersey C. Irvine A. Kane D. Lesher .l. McDonagh P. Miller AS MARCARITA VVALLACE prepares to mark an ac- cent while scanning a line from Virgil's epic poem, the AENEID, Jean McDonagh and Joan Henehan smile their approval. The AENEID ranks among the greatest literary works of all times and is a very important part of the ad- vanced high school Latin course. CONTINUING THEIR THIRD year study of Latin, seven juniors have spent this year examining the works of the famous Latin authors. These girls feel that in studying Latin they gain a better foundation upon which to build a modern foreign language. Latin, they believe to be of value as a disciplinary measure, for a cultural background, and as a means of attaining mastery in English. FIRST YEAR SPANISH students, Patricia Miller, Joanne Waiituch, and Marie Prinos, exhibit unique Spanish art pieces. Their attention is focused on a red and white bull, made in Mexico, representing their class mascot, Ferdinand. By closely examining brightly colored pottery vases ob- tained from south of the border, the girls develop a finer appreciation of the artistic abilities of the Spanish-speaking countries. Sister Margaret Alacoque, instructor in Spanish. believes that a study of the Spanish people themselves, their customs, and recreation is as important to the students as learning their language. AS A RESULT of a French vocabulary bee, students of the first year French class retired to the Point, where cokes were served by the losing team to the winners, refreshing their tired minds. Proud of their victory, Mary Beth Harri- gan and Charlene Borgerding offer a toast to their defeated opponents, Jean Weber and Louise Myers. The conversation at the get-together drifted to the absurd possibilities of the junior French students ever arriving in gay Paris. These girls have taken an active interest in the culture of France and have enjoyed analyzing the quaint customs of the French peasantry and nobility.

Study maketh a maid wise. AS THE JUNIORS returned in September, the class of ,55 realized that their long cherished dream of becoming upperclassmen had come true. Wel- comed by their new home room teacher, Sister Rob- ertine, the girls prepared to embark on their third year of high school. FOUR CAPABLE GIRLS, elected as class officers on September 23. Floradel Green, president, Mary Jo Norman, vice-president, Maren Moser, sec- retary, and Bonita Fleetwood, treasurer, welcomed the new members in the class. Newcomers were in- troduced to the class patroness, Our Lady of Good Counsel, and the class mascot, Ferdinand. DURING OCTOBER, juniors made preparations for ordering class rings, gold with a red stone bear- ing the school crest. AMBITIOUS JUNIORS LED by Dolores Dowd and Evelyn Olsen worked hard at their Book Week ASSEMBLING A RELIGION bulletin board related to their study of the importance of the Holy Ghost's inHuence on the writers of Divine Scripture are Theresa Balsamo, Yolanda Contreras, and Patricia Crowley. Junior religion classes, this year, dealt chiefly with the work of the Holy Spirit in individual souls, in the Church, and in the com- munity. HOLDING PINS AND blue letters, these three ambitious juniors smile, hoping that as a result of their apostolic work, their classmates will heed the quotation from St. Jerome: i'To be ignorant of the Scriptures is to be ignorant of Christf, display, uKingdom of Biographiesf, which received the first place as the most originally decorated ex- hibit. WHEN THE YULETIDE season arrived, seven juniors were pleased when asked to participate in the Christmas festivities by playing parts in the Christmas play, December 17. Before enjoying Christmas vacation, beginning December l8, the class of '55 took part in the ASB party, followed by a class celebration. RETURNING IN JANUARY with added enthusi- asm, juniors eagerly planned the Miss OLP contest. After a hectic week of casting votes the victor to be crowned the Miss OLP was junior Joanne Wantuch. Her coronation dance, HEARTS IN SPRING-TIME, was sponsored by the junior class, February l9. SHOUTS OF JOY echoed from the junior class- room, March 2, as the long awaited junior rings ar- rived, now displayed proudly by juniors, assuring them that they are truly upperclassmen. OPENING WITH MASS and followed by breakfast, the juniors began their celebration in honor of Our Lady of Good Counsel, April 26. A pot-luck luncheon was enjoyed at noon, at which the conversation was centered on prospects for the com- ing Prom. T. Balsamo C. Borgerding Y. Contreras P. Crowley J. Cummins S. Dawson D.

R. Morey M. O'Neill M. Sanders M. Voigt WITH THE CHRISTMAS holidays ended, jun ior chemistry students Evelyn Olsen, Susanne Ryan, and Mary .lo Norman remove the unusual decorations from the Christmas tree in the chem- istry lah. Susanne reaches for the glass funnel used as a top piece while Mary .lo friglitl looks on in amusement. Evelyn holds an angel made from filter paper which she designed when the tree was first decorated. A Bunsen burner, with its long cord trailing behind, took the place of the usual electric train which encircles the base of ai Christmas tree. Some of the more unusual deco- rations were chains of red and lmlue litmus paper, various colored measuring spoons, and pieces of rubber tubing. J. Muehlebach A. Osornio E. Singh M. Wallace P.
