TOREWORD
The culmination of the memories of four years usually results
in a Year Book ---- the most representative part of the Senior Year.
Cften it is regarded as a link between the days of present and past.
However,the Class of '42 has met with an unexpected obstacle. we
are entering our first year of a war that has struck us with blind-
ing and bewildering force. We have been required to abandon many
of the traditions closest to our hearts,and our Annual Elmata falls
naturally into this category. Never-the-less,we have something to
leave our college,and future oolligiennes. In the following pages
we leave a pictorial and literary record of these years at our
College of Our Lady of the Elms.
A few months ago,before we realized that this project must be
put aside,we had already planned on a foreword. The familiar phrase,
Hwhere are the snows of yesteryear?N had seemed fitting to express
the experiences of our college days--N-our snows of yesteryear.
But now,far from comparative peace and contentment,we are not
satisfied merely with looking backwards. Yes,we want to see the
results of these four years in retrospection ---- but we also want to
see beyond these years,for we want to envision a future dedicated
onee again to shining ideals. And so we leave this Pseudo-Year Book
to the young women who will follow us,as a memorial to our War days.
we leave the hope that this generation may see good will restored
to God's peoplegthat men may find themselves in truth and honestyg
that we may regain the courage which has been lost in a haze of fem,
burnish it to a blazing splendor and pass it on,as a thing of beauty,
to posterity.

are proud of its strength of architecture
---its expanse of lawh--- its simplicity

to reflect an atti3ude,we will have
succeeded if have caught a hit of the
college spirit ix viewing our attempts
to reveal the significant points ox

become so attached---that favorite

OUR LADY OF THE ELMS
THE PART played in the world
today by the Catholic college graduate
was the keynote of the exercises at the
annual three-day Retreat, conducted by
Re erend Peter Dolin, SJ., of St.
Roberr's Hall, Pomfrer, Conn., ar the e -jg j
College of Our Lady of the Elms.
Desirous of inculcating in its stu- ff L!
dents the necessity of "seeking first the h ji
Kingdom of God," the Elms, in con- 'E' "1
formity with the custom of all Catholic 'Af 33
colleges, sees in the spiritual Retreat a
vital means to the attainment of this
end. In his conferences, Father Dolin , v e E c
discussed many of the problems which -I i fi K4 ,
confro t the modern girl and pointed
out to them their responsibi ities in
meeting these problems in an intelli-
gent and truly Catholic way. Both resi-
dent and non-resident students par-
ticipated in the Retreat exercises.
THE CHAPEL was the sce e of an
impressive ceremony when, on Octo-
ber 26, the seniors donned the academic
cap and gown, in the Dresence of a
large number of relatives and friends.
Most Reverend Thomas M. O'Le-ary,
Bishop of rhe Springfield Diocese and
president of the College, presided at
the Solemn Benedicrion. He was assist-
ed by Reverend Doctor john R.
Rooney, vice-president, and Reverend
Doctor jercmmh Sheehan, professor of
religion. Reverend Doctor George A.
Shea was the master of ceremonies.
The addre s was delivered by Rev-
erend john F. Duston, SJ., of Weston
College. Father Dusron emphasized the
significance of the cap and gown and
the contributions made by Catholic
education. In a stirring appeal, he urged
the students to carry on the work of
their predecessors and to strive to drive -
back the forces of materialism which
confront them on every side by 11 con- 5
sistenr use of the spiritual weapons at E
and.

' OUR LADY OF THE ELMS Com-
mencement Week exercises began on
Wednesday, May 20, with the presen-
tation of the senior play, a three-act
comedy, entitled Angelica Incorpor-
-ated.
Our Lady of the Elms Day, devoted
to the honor of Our Lady, Patroness
of the College, was held on May 21.
In the afternoon occurred the grotto
ceremonies, the procession to Our
Lady's shrine and the crowning of her
statue-symbolic of the enshrinement
of the Holy Virgin as Queen of each
student's heart.
May 22, Class Day, witnessed the
formation of the daisy chain, the
planting of the Class of '42 elm tree,
and the reading of the class history,
will, and prophecy. The annual senior
promenade took place in the evening.
Saturday, May 23, was Alumnae
Day. Following the informal reception
by the college of its former students,
the latter assembled for the annual
business meeting. The alumnae ban-
quet and induction of the seniors into
its ranks climaxed the day's events.
The alumnae were fortunate in ob-
taining as speaker of the evening Rev.
James Gillis, C.S.P., editor of the
Catholic World, well known lecturer
and radio speaker.
Baccalaureate Sunday, May 24,
brought the traditional religious cere-
monies. In the afternoon, Solemn Bene-
diction was given by His Excellency,
Thomas M. O'Leary, assisted by the'
Rev. Dr. john R. Rooney, vice presi-
dent of the college, Rev. Dr. George
A. Shea and Rev. Dr. Jeremiah P.
Sheehan, members of the faculty. Rev.
Francis Gleason, SJ., of Weston Col-
lege, preached the baccalaureate ser-
mon.
Commencement Day exercises took
place in Veritas Auditorium on Mon-
day, May 25. Degrees were conferred
upon the members of the graduating
class by the Most Reverend Bishop,
Thomas M. O'Leary, president of the
college, who also delivered the Com-
mencement address.
The feature of the exercises was the
awarding of the Via Veritatir Medal to
Mother John Berchmans of the Sisters
of St. joseph. This, the highest testi-
monial the college can give is bestowed
generally upon a Catholic laywoman
who has signally contributed to the
spread of Catholic Truth. The ex-
ception made this year was in recogni-
tion of the golden jubilee of Mother
Berchmans, 'who was highly praised
by the Most Reverend President of the
college, for her sterling religious char-
acter and her eminent contribution to
Catholic education. It was very evident
from the applause of the audience that
the award met with the heartiest ap-
proval of all.
The three students who received the
highest academic honors for their full
college course gave the addresses: Miss
Mary Shea, of Chicopee, the salutatory
and an essay entitled, The Churchk
Miuiomzry Spirilf Miss Aline Mont-
calm, of Holyoke, The Church and
American Citizemhipf and Miss Mary
Toole, of Springfield, the valedictory
and an address, Spainir C ontrihution to

Science,perhaps,is the most significant single factor in
determining the course of civilization---and especially
civilization as we know it today. Naturally there are many
phases of Science which are unknown to the average layman.
The Monsignor Doyle Science Club provides the opportunity
for these unknown avenues to be explored in a manner which is
as enjoyable as it is profitable..
The open forum is a favorite type of program used by this
club. In this way such subects as plastics in the modern induswnies
the ultra-violet ray,and numberless others are dicussed with
the purpose of obtaining an intimate view into the extensive
accomplishments of the various scientific fields. An increase
in knowledge and understanding is obtained by the students as
a result of these club discussions.
The Science Club attempts also to furnish contemporary
information in the field. This is done by the circulation of
a great deal recently published material,dealing with the latest:
in scientific literature. The Club has undertaken to pulish
a concise paper which contains their own views on scientific
controversies and oddities in the world of science.
The Science Club has a two-fold purpose. lt intends to
familiarize its members with all that is new and old in Science
it also intends that its members will apply Catholic principlesg
to all scientific theory and give a more than material
interpretation to the study of Science.

Young ladies,deep in philosophic thought,
always make an interesting picture--especially
when these aforesaid young ladies are the N
ever-bustling Juniors. Their meetings might
sound like so much jargon to those who do not
consider Philosophy their passion,but to these
members,every word has a significance--every
proof is weighed and debated. Their circles
are not vicious ones---they are living
examples of the training received in the
use of our reasoning powers. For those who
love an argument based on sound principles--
come to the Metaphysical Club.

MAJOR LOGIC
Universal skepticism is theoretically absurd and
practically impossible.
Relativism is absurd and leads to skepticism.
Not only is Idealism absurd, but our ideas are per
se objectively valid.
Universals are not mere words, nor mere figments of
the mind, nor yet do they exist as such outside of
the mind.
That which we conceive by the direct universal con-
cept is real, though not in the manner in which we
conceive it. The reflex universal concepts, how-
ever, are figments of the mind, though they, too,
are based on reality.
All our cognitive faculties are per se infallible.
The immediate judgments of consciousness are abso-
lutely infallible. 1
The world of bodies which we perceive with our
senses is real and knowable.
Under normal conditions our external senses are in-
fallible with regard to the proper and common sensi-
bles.
There are immediate analytic principles which have
objective validity and are absolutely necessary.
Under certain conditions not only deduction and in-
duction, but also convergence of probabilities lead
to formal certitude.
Under certain conditions human testimony concerning
external facts which the witness himself has ob-
served begets formal certitude.
In the natural order objective evidence is the ul-
timate and universal motive of certitude.
The direct and natural adhesion of all men to many
truths as objectively certain is Cal certitude
properly so-calledg Cbj not indeed philosophical
certitude, but Col capable of becoming such.

Q, 2 LOGY
The subjective and objective concept of being is
one.
The concept of being is transcendental.
The concept of being with relation to its inferiors
is analogous with the analogy of intrinsic attri-
bution.
The principle of contradiction is analytic, most
certain, and the first of all principles.
The essences of natural sensible things can be
known at least imperfectly.
The possibles have no actual internal reality but
they are not absolutely nothing.
The intrinsic possibility of things does not depend
on the divine power, nor on the divine will, nor on
the divine intellect.
The ultimate ontological reason of all intrinsic
possibility is the divine essence.
Every being is one.
Ontological truth is primarily the conformity of
the object with the divine intellect, secondarily
the conformity of the object with the human intel-
lect.
Every being is good for itself and good for another
The notion of substance is objectively real.

FUNDAMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY
1 Life is that perfection in a being by virtue of
which it is capable of immanent action.
2. There are three primary grades of life, vegetative,
sensitive, and intellectual.
5. In every living body there is a substantial princi-
ple, called the soul, which is essentially differ-
ent from matter and the mechanical and chemical
forces of matter.
4. The vital principle is the substantial form of the
body.
5. The origin of life in the first living beings that
appeared on this earth is to be directly attributed
to the causal influence of God, therefore the theory
of spontaneous generation is to be rejected.
e. It is most probable that una Aarigia of each natural
species in plant and animal life is to be attrib-
uted to a special causal influence of God.
ADVANCED EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY

9.
10.
11.
Man is endowed with various permanent powers called
faculties.
In man the senses are faculties neither of the body
alone, nor of the soul alone, but of both as con-
stituting one composite nature.
Man is endowed with an immaterial perceptive facul-
ty called the intellect, which is only extrinsical-
ly dependent on the brain.
It is most probable that the intellectual faculty
is rendered proximately disposed for the apprehen-
sion of a definite material object by an intrinsic
determinant which is the virtually intelligible im-
pression of the object. '
The virtually intelligible impression which intrin-
sically determines the intellect for the apprehen-
sion of a definite material object is itself pro-
duced by the 'Intellectus Agens' as the principal
efficient cause.

21. The ontological argument is not a valid proof for
the existence of God.
22. Kant's moral argument for the existence of God is
invalid. A

40

44
There are actions which are of their very nature
intrinsically good or bad.
The proximate norm of morality is man's rational
nature, the ultimate norm of morality is the divine
essence.
Utilitarianism, Sentimentalism, and Autonomous Rea-
son are false norms of morality.
Concupiscence diminishes and may even destroy the
freedom of an action performed under its influence.
However, when freely stimulated by man's own will,
it makes those actions, if foreseen, indirectly vo-
litional.
Fear ordinarily does not destroy the freedom of the
action that is performed under its influence..
Invincible ignorance destroys the freedom of the
act, vincible ignorance does not destroy the free-
dom of the act but leaves it free at least in cause.
The principal specific determinant of morality is
the object.
The end of the agent is also a specific determinant
of morality. '
Circumstances which intrinsically affect the object
or the end of the agent help determine the morality
of the act. - e
It is lawful to place a cause from which two effects
will follow, one good and the other evil, provided:
Elk that the act itself is good or indifferent,
2 that both effects follow equally immediately
from the cause CBJ that only the good effect is in-
tended, and Q45 that there is a proportionately
grave reason for permitting the evil effect.
Senior Orals ?
45. There exists an eternal law.
46. There is a natural law established and promulgated
in the very nature of man and known by the light of
human reason. Hence, the theories of the Evolu-
tionists, Rationalists, and Independent Moralists
are to be rejected.
47. The natural law is unchangeable.
48. Positive human laws proceed from the natural law
and have their power of imposing obligation from
the natural law.
49. The natural law includes a sanction which is imper-
fect in this life, but perfect in the next.
50. A morally certain conscience must be obeyed though
it be invincibly erroneous.
51. It is unlawful to act with only a probable or doubt
ful conscience, if the doubt cannot be solved di-
rectly, recourse must be had to reflex principles
in order to form a morally certain conscience.
52. True natural rights exist.
INDIVIDUAL ETHICS
55. All men are bound to render to God the worship of
interior and exterior adoration.
54. Men are obliged to render public worship to God.
55. All men are obliged to accept divine revelation
when it has been made known to them, and to believe
the mysteries which it may contain.
56. Indifference in matters of religion is a grievous
wrong.
57. Suicide is never allowed.
58. A lie is intrinsically evil.
59. A broad mental reservation is not a lie, but itS
unconditional use is unlawful. When, however,
there is a grave and sufficient reason, a broad
mental reservation is not unlawful.
61, Murder is against the natural law.

nge who sings to God renders Him the highest praiseu. This
phrase seems to be a summary of the purpose and efforts of our
College Glee Club,for,ult1mately,all our vocal expression,whether
its reasons be spiritual or no,is a reflection of God's glory,
who has endowed his creatures with this soul-satisfying means
of making life beautiful. And is not life more beautiful when
voices are raised in true and clear harmony?
This year the College Glee Club had the splandid opportunity
of broadcasting at the Christmas holidays. The program presented
was in keeping with the seasonal spirit and was unidue in that
it embraced the traditional hymns of various nations of the
world. A major part of the success of this broadcast was due to
Miss Eileen Heffernan,the Club's talented young directress.
Besides this broadcast,the ulee Club presented their Annual
Christmas Concert. This concert is a tradition at the College
and gives an unforgettable impression. The Club plays its part
in many other activities throughout the year. The Mother and
Daughter Tea receives its attentionghigh School Day hears this
group of young voicesg Cap and Gown Sunday and Baccalaueate
Sunday are supplemented by the renditions of the Club.
The A Capella Choir is a part of the Glee Club made up of an
individual group whose purpose is to render special chorus work
Their sphere embraces Mass sing1ng,small group singing,and music
sans accompaniment.
The Commencement Exercises see the Club in action for the last
time and the sound of melodious voices makes a fitting back-
ground for this important day. It is well that the young woman
leave her college days with the ring of harmonious notes in
her ears as a reminder to still sing to God.

Q?
Poise and euiet charm bespeak the cultured youn5 woman.
The M.J.B.Debating Society gives our students additional and
extensive oiportunity to develop these qualities. Herein lies
its purpose.
The Society accomplishes tois pur,ose by openins many avenues
of thought to its members . Questions ani subjects Nnicn,nere-
to-fore,remained outside their particular sthere,are brou5ht
into ,rominence by stimulating discussions. But the Society is
not content mer,ly to introduce new ideas--- the club desires
also to teach its members how to thinklogically and how to Handle
deftly these di ferent problems. dpen-mindedness and tolerance
are sought always as the results of the right kind of thinking.
Another point to be accredited to the Debating Society is the
comparative ease with which our young colligiennes make use of
the all important art of Qersuasive speech. They firmly believe
that good sweakers make gdod leaders. Naturalness is a keynote
in all the work undertaken by this club and meets the demand for
the informality which is sought today.
The M.J.B.Debating Society holds its meetings regularly and
oresents very often clear-cut pictures of todays's many and
varied problems. It has been active in radio work,cooperatin5
with such colleges as Williams and Fitchburg State Teachers in
aerial debates. The Annual Public Debate still nolds an interesting
and important place among the major events of the college year.
Anyone who has ever enjoyed membership in this Society has
found and experienced an influence which cannot be easily shaken
or disregarded in future years.

Today's modern world tends to put emphasis OH the
utilitarian and consider outmoded the wealth of the QaSt as
far as the dead languages are concerned. Therefore, a reverence
for classical subjects makes unique our Classical Club. It is
the function of the Club not only to preserve this reverence
but also to prove that the Culb has a valuable reason for
existing. A language,which for centuries preserved our knowledge
of literature,history and civ1lization,has a definite place in X
the college curriculum.
A deep appreciation for Latin literature is gained by the
members of the Classical Club when they view intimately the
past masters---Horace,Livy,Cicero and Plautus. The study of
Latin should be a lesson in living. It should be a love for
all that is beautiful in form,in rhythm,in thought. It should
carry with it the realization that there has always existed
true beauty. If the club has accomplished these points,it will
consider its existence worthwhile.
The students have made the Latin language more a part of them-
selves by the presentation of various plays. nSaturnaliaH pre-
sents the pagan interpretation of Christmas and the Christmas
season. The members feel that the portrayal of such works in
the Latin increase the beauty of interpretation,since Latin is
the official language of the Church Crist was to found.
The Classical Club prides itself in the work of preservation-
a work,begun many centuries ago by our religious,in order that
the world might be richer in knowledge today.

JUNiOR JOURNAL
1941 - 1942
ELMS OPENS FOR 11th YEAR WITH LARGE ENROLLMENT
The fall opening of the Elms found the Juniors back to
school ready and anxious to begin another college year...
especially when that year was their third and in many
ways the most important year of their college career. On
the first day there were old friends to greet and new ones
to meet. Hours were spent talking about the activities
of the past summer and planning great things for the com-
ing year. They were anxious to attend the first informal
meeting of the Freshmen in the nRecn room...for these
same Freshmen were to be their nsistersn.
ELMS SENIORS INITIATE FRESHMEN
Traditional Elms Night Held
After having passed the gruelling experiences of their
own initiation week two years before, the Juniors could
sit back and enjoy seeing other classes put through their
paces. It was easy to discern the Freshmen on the campus
with their black stockings, pigtails and long hair rib-
bons bearing their names in large letters.
That terrible week being completed each of the Juniors
entertained her Freshman sister at the annual Elms Night
party. After an hour or more of enjoyment in O'Leary Hall
the entire student body went to the Administration Build-X
ing for the formal initiation of the Freshman. Now they
were full-fledged members of the College of Our Lady of
the Elms and could look forward to spending many happy
hours under her roof.
FATHER DOLAN GIVES SPIRITUAL RETREAT
In October the annual spiritual retreat was given by
Father Dolan S.J. Everyone entered into the true spiritual
significance of the retreat and for three days silence
and contemplation reigned on the campus.
SENIORS RECEIVE CAPS AND GOWNS
In an impressive ceremony in the Elms chapel the Seniors
received their Caps and Gowns thus formally entering their
last year in College. Now that the Seniors had received
their Caps and Gowns and the Initiation were over we seem
to settle down to hard work...for College life has another
side to it besides the above mentioned activities.

Now as our days at the College of Uur Lady
of the Elms draw swiftly to a close, we can not help but look
back in retrospect to our brief past here. lt seems but '
yesterday morning we were naive freshmen, yesterday afternoon,
gay young sophomores, and last night, more serious Juniors.
To-day, we are seniors, standing on the
threshold of graduation. Before taking that eventful step,
we pause for a moment to review the accomplishments of this,
our last year, as our first three years are recorded in previous
Elmatas, and it his superfluous to reiterate them.
Our first official act as seniors was the
initation of our beloved freshmen. They have performed many
and mernial tasks for us, and won a definite place in our hearts-
a place from which they have never become dislodged.
The annual Retreat in October was a source
of spiritual comfort to all of us. We emerged from it with
a deeper knowledge of our obligations and responsibilities
as Catholic College Women. h
h The annual Elmata dance was held in november,
to defray the expenses of the year book we expected to publish.
The dance was a financial as well as a social success.
Encouraged by the outcome of this event,
we participated in the Basketball Tournament with our Alumnae.
They provided the athletic prowess, we, the social atmosphere.
Consequently, the game and dance were both a huge success.
Katherine Walsh upheld the senior class
in the Oratorical Contest. The Class Play, uAngelica,Inc.n
presented the opportunity for the seniors to display their
histrionic ability.
Class Day provides the opportunity to prophecy as to the future
of our class mates and recall our collegiate past through the
class history. We opened our Glass Day program to-day by plant-
ing the traditional Elms tree, that future generations might be
aware of our one-time presence here.

We are looking forward to the Interclass Play Tournament
to-night, which we are confident will stimulate justifiable
competition and provide worthwhile entertainment.
Our Senior Prom, to-morrow night, will he our
last social event as cillegians. With Dol Brissette and his
orchestra to provide the musical background, we are anticipatin5
a most enjoyable evening.
With Bacculaureate Sunday and Graduation Lay on
Monday next, our formal training at Our Lady of the Elms will
be concluded.
We go forth with this thoughtm tnat Commencement
means not the end, but twe beginning of a new era in our history.

SOCIAL HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR
The first social of the year was the annual Hallowe'en
party given by the Sophomores. Their entertainment was
most interesting...a Hit Parade based on several of the
popular songs with very clever bits of pantomime. After
this the usual Hallowe'en refreshments and a super time
was had by all.
As November approached all began to look forward to the
Elmata Dance. This being a very popular event it was well
attended by a goodly part of the student body...the Junior
class being well represented. A collegiate theme was
used in the decorations with hundreds of college banners
all over the school gym. 1
With the grim news of the declaration of war still in
the air the traditional Christmas party was given with a
portrayal of Christmas in various lands as a central
thought. While members of the student body dramatized
these scenes in the Rotunda the College Glee Club sang the
traditional carols in the balcony. At the end of the
program the lights were dimmed and the members of the Glee
Club descended to the Rotunda with lighted candles. As is
customary there was a kind old Santa who distributed gifts
to the faculty and student body. After our party came the
extremely welcome Christmas holidayshand early the next
morning the campus was emptied.
Shortly after the vacations the Seniors and Alumnae
played their annual basketball game...with the Alumnae
trimming us 15-6. This game was followed by an enjoyable
sport dance.
Meanwhile the Juniors were getting started on the most
gala event of the year...the Junior Prom! In order to
cover some expenses thy held a Bridge and Tea which was
very well attended. Gertrude O'Connor was a capable
General Chairman ably assisted by Barbara Houlihan with all
the class doing their share. , c
Alice Kane was elected Chairman of the Prom with Margaret
Tierney, Claire Donahue, Elinor White, Anne O'Connell,
Katharine Shea and Ida Belanger as Chairmen of the various
committees. The large crowd present danced happily to the
music of Ken Reeves Orchestra 'til one. Red, white and blue
were the predominating colors in the decorations turning the
gymnasium into a veritable fairyland. The memories of the Prom
were with us many a day and then with the arrival of Lent
our social life was discontinued for a period and all
settled down to a period of prayer and contemplation in
preparation for Easter Sunday.
In May Mothers were honored at the customary tea on the
Saturday previous to Mother's Day. On this day the Mothers
of the students were the honored guests at the Elms. A
short entertainment was presented for their enjoyment
followed by the presenting of flowers and favors.

ELMS COLLEGE CONTRIBUTB5 TO CIVILIAN DEFENSE
College girls do their part for U.S.O.
and Red Cross.
This year was threatened by the dark clouds of war and
by tHE actual declaration of war. Everyone was trying to
do their bit for the boys who had been drafted or who had
enlisted in the American army. Early, a dance was given
for Westover by the Alumnae of the College of Our Lady of
the Elms to which the girls of the College were invited
and which they eagerly attended. This dance was followed
by a Reciprocity dance given by Westover for the Elms.
However the work of the Elms was not limited to attend-
ing dances. They showed their spirit by turning out one
hundred per cent to from a knitting unit. A course in First
Aid was started and attended by the majority of the student
body.
OF INTEREST IN THE FIELD OF SPORTS
The first major event was the Senior-Alumnae Basketball
Game. Although the student body had hopes of upholding
their honor the Alumnae team proved themselves the super-
oor and the final score was Alumnae 15 and Seniors 6.
After the mid year examinations followed the exciting
ihterclass games. The spirit of rivalry ran high as the
teams from each class entered the gym with a determination
to win. With a remarkable team the Junior class came thru
the season with flying colors. After the basketball season
had passed for another year the Ping Pong Contest was
played out with all classes participating. In the spring more
interclass games were played this time in softoall, followed
by the annual tennis tournament. In May the Athletic
Association gave a Field Day. The whole student body par-
ticipated in the various sports which were followed up by
a delightful hot dog roast.
COMMENCEMENT WEEK
The end of another year had come and preparations were
afoot for Commencement. In honor of Our own Queen May Day
was held on the Thursday of the important week. In the
Class Day activities the Juniors bore the daisy chain.
In the planting of the tree the Seniors completed one of
their last acts as members of the College. The major social
event of the week was the Senior Prom. And although hearts
were happy and feet were light there was a tiny note of
sadness for this was the last affair the Senior Class would
sponsor and all thw underclassmen knew that their faces and
happy spirit would be missed. Commencement week ended with
Baccalaureate Sunday and another school year was finished.
