Deer Diary, June is just around the corner and soon we will be giving a last look around the large, sunny Freshman Homeroom. What memories it holds for us! September found us entering St. Joseph's for the first time. On Orientation Day we numbered four dozen minus two. We were dubbed The Great hell of China' early in September, because no class could break our ranks as we plodded our way along the halls tightly clutching every book we owned. Oh, the mistakes we made: The looks 'l we re- ceived; But soon Sister Leo, our beloved and sympathetic home- room teacher advised us to march two abreast instead of single file Ionentum was apparent at once. We soon learned that our class had an epidemic. No, not a . :se... we had an epidemic of families: the Duke- harts, the Fosters, the Sanders and theWat- kins--a11 from the same families and three tivee named Topper.

As he pro- pelled himself on crutches, j he was followed by his ever- raithful valet, David Kreitz. Class elections were held with the follow- ing results: John Roddy was chosen as our president; Nancy Capuano $ became our vice-pesident; if to act as secretary, we elected Arthur Blanchard while Joan Watkins was delegated to take careof our funds. With John Haley as leader and Jean Watkins, follower, we felt we had made a good choice. Prior to this Arthur Blanchard was nxade leader because of his proximity to the be- ginning of the alphabet. Armed with a paper full of directions guaranteed to carry him successfully from Monday to Friday, he brave- ly set forth, leading our class to differ- ent periods. But Arthur was unfamiliar with his surroundings. His arms were loaded.with books. It was difficult to keep the direc- tions in constant view. Result? Why, the dozen less two - often found themselves fil;ng , into an already occupied I i classroom. r Petrified was no word to describe our reaction to the announcement of the Freshmen e come . We felt fure that the innocent word 'wel- come' had a sinister and hidden meaning.We were sure that the day of doom was upon us. However, only good things were planned for us. We will always look back with grathnde to the heavenly play which the Seniors gave for us. We were welcomed into a scho- lastic paradise. At last we felt we were an integral part of the sci ol, a11d that everyone in it was our friend. Best of all we felt that we were once, a unified class with proper class spirit. We are the Class of '56.
