September 6, l944, the ship, Sophomore B, was anchored in the harbor preparing for the journey over the S. l. A. Sea of Knowledge. On deck stood a new crew. Patricia Tynan was captain and the crew elected Patricia Shanahan, first mate, with Phyllis Thompson and Mary Margaret Touhill as second mates. Weeks passed and the ship sailed safely over the some- times turbulent waters. One day the navigator sighted the schooner, Sophomore A, two points off port bow. Together, experienced seamen forced seventy-two landlubbers to walk the plank at the end of King Neptunes pitchfork and then dubbed these poor freshmen worthy seamen for their coming journey. December l5, l944, we reached the port of Good Will and went ashore for a fortnight to toll out the Old Year and ring in the New Year. Orders were given to return january 3 at 2 bells. Assembled again, sailors were confined to spiritual quark ters February 2 to February 4. Results were gratifying for it's the spirit which strengthens the body for further combat. After months of sailing, several men volunteered to pro- vide enterlainment. The Dreams of Youth, was presented on deck and was most inspirational. During May we dropped anchor to honor Mary, Star of the Sea. Our crew has weathered storms together, and as we em- bark to begin a new journey, we'll charter our course with this purpose: Objectivefffappiness. Destiny' Heaven. Medium Undaunted Courage.

Last year we started out as pea green freshmen, but we soon came to know and love our school. Of course we went through the traditional initiation, but we came out none the worse. We chose as our class otit- cers, Sally Kendall and Ioyce Bindbeutel. During book week our class took tirst prize tor our display. We were quite proud ot Helen Geekie, who won the Novice Midwestern Skating Championship. When May Day came, we were well repre- sented by our maid, Mary Catherine Clawsey. At the close ot the year we were awarded the Mission flag tor l944. To start our sophomore year we initiated the freshmen, the traditional privilege of the sophomore class. ln September we chose our leaders-Dot Battles, Pat Hayes, Theresa Brady, and a new member ot our class, Ellen Aleshire. We also re- ceived another new girl, Beverly Eidt. Our Student Council representative was Marie Binig. Cur book week display won the prize again. Shirley DuBois and Bobbie Lucich took lead- ing roles in our Christmas play. We also point with pride to our newly elected Sodality oiticers, loyce Bindbeutel and Mari- lyn E. Miller. Margaret Bocklage represented our class as May maid. We sincerely hope that we will be as successful in our junior year as we were this year. Page Twenty-Eight

F1rstHow: Chamblin, Coghill, Goodwin, Birdsall Brockmeier, Curotto, Chapman jl'QffAl'l'lCll'L 6255 FRESHMAN A We'd like to have you meet the members of Freshmen A and B. We responded to the clang of the school bell on Sep- tember 6, l944 as the seventy-two bewildered, naive, young girls we were. But on that day We began the very remarkable history of a very remarkable class. ln October, on initiation day, we bore the brunt of all the deviltry the sophisticated sophomores could devise, but being stalwart maidens we bore up very well and were privileged from that day hence to drop the pea-green from our surnames. We next elected our officers who have proved very capable and efficient throughout the year. They were Mary Catherine Dolan, presidentg Terese Lyons, vice-president, Mary Ann Combs, secretary, and Ieanne Welek, treasurer. Our Student Council representatives were loan Casey and Mary Olszewski and our Mission representatives were Buth O'Neill and loan Debrecht from the A and B classes respectively. The Halloween Party was the freshmen's Way of return- ing good for evil. lt was held October 23 in the lounge of the Science Building. Skits were given and refreshments were served. Then early in December we were received into the Sodality of Our Lady with a deep feeling of reverence in our hearts. Page Thirty Corrigan, Bisch.
