Spotlight On The Seniors by Clare Rooney Gone away are the old ways. Here to stay are the new ways. Gone are the days when we, the members of they class of '56, were freshmen and proudly composed School Bells g when we were sophomores and tried to win the basketball tournament, when we were jun- iors and transformed the gym into an underwater paradiseg when we were seniors and worked hard to pass those College Boards. But ahead of us is the exciting, adventurous un- known. Now we shall experience the happiness of helping others in our chosen work with our Christian ROSEMARY CUMMINS principles as our guide. President A beautiful day, and we're on our way. Nowwe are on the way, and would like to thank Jesus and Mary and all who have guided and inspired us in the past four years. We shall try to live up to the ideals that you, A.H.N., have given us. We shall re-A main semper fidelis.

To Jesus And Mary by Mary Margaret Riccardi What a wonderful day to start school! A.H.N. stood majestic against the September sky as I dashed breath- lessly across Madison Avenue into the throng of friends old and new. We talked gaily, waiting for our class teachers. And even filing over po- lished floors, into our classrooms, we talked, our voices at first lowering to whispers, then silencing through the chapel hall. But You know. You gave us the crisp autumn air and the leaves falling like brightly colored confetti. You were with us on this first day of school as you will be every day of the school year, always guiding, always lending serenity to the gray stone walls dappled with sunlight, always lending dignity to the polished floors, no mat- ter how many of us, laughing and joking, tread on them. You hushed us as we walked through chapel hall You will come with us to our class- rooms, making the impossible geom- etry less of an infeasibilityg the puz- zling biology less of an enigma. Naturally You will come to our Sodality meetings. When any one of us has a particularly good idea, we will then be more certain of Your presence. But we will not have forgotten You. Each morning You will hear our of- ferings and Memoraries . You will smile when we visit You at 10:15 and Your smiles will broaden when we go at noontime to rosary. On Fridays You, Jesus, will wait patiently for Benediction when we will renew and strengthen our friendship with You. Throughout the year we will show You we are aware of You. With You we will share our pleasures. When at our Sodality dance we leave the festive decorations and music to visit You, You will know we feel Your Presence. You will come amidst tears and laughter to the Senior-Junior Party. You will know that You are welcome by the shining faces of Juniors come to show You their keys, and by the tired faces of Seniors, come to tell You of their success. You, Mary, in your simple mantle of blue, will reign over happy hearts and tulle finery at the Holly Ball. And when you are crowned queen, you will know your place in our hearts. You will not fail to attend the Father - Daughter Dinner nor the Mother-Daughter Luncheon. You will taste our eagerness to please and our parents' joy at receiving our efforts. A You will walkwith us through hours of practice for the May Day Parade. When thatbig day comes, we will hold highyour banner and march for your glory. And finally, at graduation You will reign, for the words Semper Fidelis on the lips of the Seniors will express not only their loyalty to A.H.N., but their loyalty to You. We Three by Mary Murray I looked to the beyond - eternity. I saw my Lord and His Mother, They beckoned me. Expectantly I trod the way to Them, But ere I reached my sojourn's half I stopped. For as I looked ahead I saw They were nearly upon me Coming with arms outstretched. They, then, reaching me Enveloped me in the Spirit of Love, And taking my hands Began and continue to guide me To their home - eternity.
