GJOp!lOlIlOl'Q C3 ago After greeting friends and exchanging tales of sum- mer fun, the Class of '51 resumed their former pur- suits, encouraged and aided by Sister M. Sophia, the class sponsor, and the officers: Margaret Culhane, president: Therese Murphy. student council repre- sentativeg Mary Bukolt, vice-presidentg Patricia Bag- well, secretary: Mary Lou Trainor, treasurer, and Barbara Hepting, dance chairman. Activities were initiated with a Weiner roast given in the Glen for their Big Sisters . The autumn air rang with the familiar school songs. and Many Thanks' rolled around all too soon. Early in October, the Founders Day skit enabled them to have a glimpse of the past, a knowledge of the present, and a dream of the future. Costumes humorously revealed the past, and a speculative wardrobe for the future was indicative of trends to come. The eagerly awaited 'fMidnight Masquerade found couples dancing against a silhouetted background. The motif was carried out by masks tied with a sil- ver ribbon to tiny black fans. Later in the evening a grand March led by Barbara Hepting. chairman of the dance, and her escort helped to make this first formal a memorable occasion. Potential stage careers were inaugurated at the Play Tournament in November. Grease paint was abandoned for stadium boots and double mittens as the sophomores prepared gaily for their campus car- oling, following the Christmas party. The crisp still- ness of the night was broken by the carolers as they kept alive the traditional singing at Bertrand Hall, the infirmary, and the convent. Blue jeans and paint brushes were the order of the day while preparing for Winter Carnival. The halls and Rectangle told a gay narrative of winter fun from toboggans and sleighs to hopeful ice skater and timid spectators. Despite the absence of ice and snow, the afternoon of january S saw Meg Schrock crowned queen of Snow Daze on the island bedecked with candy canes. Combined class efforts for the evening's entertainment found the f'Snow Boat loaded with a cargo of fun. While January volleyball tournament saw the soph- omore team defeated, redoubled efforts were exerted to start a new chapter with the basketball tourna- ment in early April. Saturday morning sleep was sacri- ficed for practice, parodies were written, and the soph- omore section of the gym kept up their morale with streamers of yellow and black. No spirits were damp- ened as the class cheered their team with hoarse voices. Often gathering in the Club House on Saturday afternoon, the sophomores made fudge, sewed, and fixed scrapbooks for the childrens Hospital. With the coming of spring, the Ubotanistsi' toured the campus and took field trips to surrounding areas in search of evasive wild flowers. The math students, however, were confined within their four walls en- deavoring to solve the complexity of triangles, but spring offered a temptation they could not resist and the inevitable, picnic provided the last class get-to- gether. As the school year drew to a close, Memorial Day offered the last opportunity for the sophomores to present a program for the school. Looking at the past with serenity, they face the future with courage, and a prayer for the wisdom to realize their opportunities.
