One of our best liked classmates and promising students was Mary Hundley. Her death was a great loss to the class. The class became organized and integrated when we started to conduct our class meetings. After the Religion Committee had made its selection, it was agreed that it could not have made a better choice than Elizabeth Humann and Mary Delaney. We elected Margaret English and Isabelle Andersen to the Attend- ance Committee, while Josephine Hogue became a member of the Point System. We were proud of Katherine Griffin ' s per- formance in Quality Street. As Freshmen our basketball team was highly successful, bowing only to the Varsity. In no time at all we were changing our tassels to the second quarter of our caps. While we were still very much amazed at our sudden debut as an upper class, our Sophomore President, Genevieve Wright, announced that the business on hand was the education of the Freshmen. Although we were just recover- ing from our rise from the state of lowly Freshmen, we hid all this from the Frosh and proceeded to act as if there were not a thing in the world we did not know. We think that Mary De- laney and her committee conducted the hazing very well and almost painlessly. The foremost event of our second year in college was Sophomore Class Day. Jean Aubrey ' s novel ideas on decoration were much admired. The chairman of Class Day, Marjorie McCaffrey is to be complimented for the success of the event. We were much amused and entertained at the play given by several members of the class. Elizabeth O ' Halloran and Elizabeth McMahon distinguished themselves here. From Mass and break- fast in the morning until our party that night, Class Day united the Sophomores. We are very proud that the Varsity found so ma,ny of our classmates essential to its success. Margaret English, Elizabeth Humann, Abigail Dorney, Elizabeth O ' Halloran, Frances Young and Annette Robinson are to receive Varsity awards this year. Sophomore Year has gone more quickly than we might have wished, but we think it has been a successful one because the Sophomores are better friends. Lillian Keenan ' }j 107

SOPHOMORE CLASS Portus ab accessu ventorum immotus et in gem Ipse: scd horrificis i txta tonat Aetna minis. 1 hrough the kindness of the Class of Nineteen Thirty-Six, the Freshmen learned that the College woman referred to in the title Saint Joseph ' s College for Women is merely the high school girl who can meet the new situation squarely. The Sophomores went to all the trouble of coming early in the morning to deliver learned lectures and to teach us the Handbook, that they might eradicate our former impression of the College woman. We started the Sophomore year right under able leadership. Our class officers for 1934-35 were: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Councillor Genevieve Wright Mary Twigg Lillian Keenan Annette Robinson Betty Humann 106

FRESHMAN CLASS . . . Ignari hominumque lociunque Erranius, vento hue et vastis fluctibus acti. J ong before the thought of college entered our heads, we were taught the Arabic numerals in what we had, up until this time, thought to be correct consecutive order. It was on our first day at college that our calculations were rudely upset, when we endeavored to find our lockers. It was startling and bewildering to find number 65 next to number 91, and a row beginning with 103 having the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 down at the other end. Perhaps this was merely a clever device to put Freshmen in the proper frame of mind in order to start the thinking process. And of course once the thinking process was started we were able to elect our class officers: President Vice President Treasurer Secretary Councillor Celeste Hughes Alice Kennedy Frances McLoughlin Betty Carter Norma Straus 108
