WHILE TAKING A last walk through the grounds, seniors Shirley Blakely Ileftl, Colleen Fox, Margarita Wallace, and Sheila Dawson pause at the Point to survey the view and to discuss plans after gradua- tion. Seniors will always remember the beauty and peaceful solitude of the campus. Ever proud of the gardens and pool, the girls enioy sharing the grounds with visitors. eniorft eminiftceag Cionri iclerecl jufure Cjfaztrt adcof Rzcafecl .Mdforg in ogzffer fo .Szzniont Dear Seniors: I iust can't believe it! lt doesn't seem possible, but the calendar says June 1955 and that's the time when I have to soy farewell to all my faithful followers. lf l'm not careful, l'll not only be the only mascot to do the Fandango, but also the only one to cry.

BUT THIS IS prettier! Kathleen Kennedy lrightl, iunior class president, tells Valerie Seiler, sec- K' retary, modeling a formal. Choosing a iunior formal to wear at graduation is a big event in the 15953 lives of upperclassmen. Joan Douthitt lseated leftl, vice-president, and Josephine Martinez, treasurer, have their own ideas about that all-important dress. y anim XPLWJ Wm jiefvb H as 1325 Upperclassmen at last!! Beginning the school year as iuniors thrilled all followers of Melvin. Electing Kathleen Kennedy, Joan Douthitt, Val- erie Seiler and Josephine Martinez as class offi- cers, iuniors began school work supervised by Sister Robertine, class moderator. Chemistry intrigued all, while phrases of Latin lll, French l, and Spanish I are forever heard throughout the day. With St. Maria Gor- etti as their patroness, spirited iuniors can boast of the largest percentage of girls on the ASB and Honor Rolls in the first quarter and of the ransoming of ten pagan babies. Juniors and their escorts were feted by seniors who invited them to take a Stairway to the Stars at their first Academy dance, November l2, fulfilling many dreams. January brought memories to cherish for quite a while. Class rings were received January 5 and the Miss OLP contest broke previous Academy records, netting S500.04! Margie Welle, iunior Miss OLP candidate, offered stiff competition throughout the contest, but acted the part of a g r a c i o u s loser when iuniors crowned senior Je a n W e b e r Miss OLP at Springtime in Paris, February ll. Everyone was charmed by the pink poodles and bubbling champagne glasses portrayed on the walls to carry out the French theme. Gathering in the lounge early in April for a fashion show of formals, iuniors faced the prob- lem of choosing lust one from all the beautiful creations displayed to wear when forming the guard of honor for seniors at graduation. May 27 was the long awaited day of the Junior-senior prom held at the Town and Coun- try Club in Mission Valley. Their class play in honor of St. Maria Goretti, on Mary's Day, May 31, was a great success as was their presentation of the s e n io r c I a s s prophecies, Class Day, June 3.
