January: Icy Dawns Break on cz Year Joining the faculty in mid-January, Sr. Petronilla and Sr. Marie Louise share free time in the faculty room learning more about the Academy. Regina Woods typifies a beginner's difficulties with the rope tow. Ski Club President Doreen Weid- mann prepares to meet the slopes as anxious beginners wait to see how she fares. This month caught all the joyful things of winter-snowball lights, frosted tears of laughter, and in the evenings twilight tobogganing and lodges with warm fireplaces. Blizzards provided fervently wished for snow holidays which we used to prepare for the universal anathema of students-exams. New Yearis resolu- tions were still young, and we did make that effort to better our marks, as we welcomed two new faculty members to HA, Sr. Petronilla and Sr. Marie Louise. Interested students were invited to attend a theatre party in New York City, a Saturday-matinee performance of Shoes of the Fisherman?

The varsity was in great form during this, the height of the basketball season, eopping three victories. General Testing Day challenged all but the sen- iors, who for the first time in HA history were given the day off. Two of our seniors, Reena Baggi and Rosemary Ohmann, were notified of their selection as National Merit finalists. This month, too, saw college acceptances coming in and phone calls home at lunch period were at a premium.
