We Shall Never Forget O most gracious, superb, and esteemed senior sisters, we lowly recalcitrant freshmen . . . hope that someday, through your spirit of wis- dom and benevolence, you will deem us worthy to be called a class. This quotation will always bring a mild tinge of red to the checks of our freshmen, and a smile to their lips, for it is a part oftheir well-memorized Fresh- man Pledge. It brings back vivid memories of a FreshmanWeek which they shall never forget. Their pledge of humility was duly recited to their senior sisters for a week, and then, on September twenty- second, the culmination of the Week's activities took place. Freshmen were appropriately garbed in prisoners' caps and each girl sported a ball and chain formed by a gay balloon and a string of paper clips. ln keeping with their criminal status, names were temporarily exchanged for prison numbers, and their identification tags hanging from their necks completed the picture. When seniors adjudged their con- victs fit to regale the nearest warden, the cry was Off to Thatcher Park where a festive picnic luncheon, pre- pared by the seniors, awaited the girls. When all had eaten their fill, the sen- iors proved to be brimming with novel ideas. Their first surprise, aptly en- titled the shoegame, bore a great resemblance to the activities of a three-ring circus. At the command of her senior sister, each girl deposited her shoes in the middle of the circle, and at the count of ten, it was every man for himself. After half an hour's searching, freshmen began to wonder fromwhose fertile brain this surprise had come. The final activity of the afternoon was a session of jury, when Senior President, Rosemary Cummins, pre- siding over court, passed judgment on each of the freshmen. The final ver- dict awarded by the jury of seniors: ice-cream sodas at Tollgate! As they drained their glasses of the last sip of soda, each and every fresh- man heldthe same thought. All shared the expression of thanks which was voiced by one ofthe freshmen when she said, Thank you, seniors, for giving us such a memorable Freshman Day. Thank you for a day which we shall never forget. LEFT T O RIGHT: Patricia Iarossi,Jane Barrett, Phyl lis Anastasi, Margaret Fennell, Regina Tierney and Patricia Sabatino. Surprises Overflow by Carolyn Suarez Something new has been added --but here at A.H.N., something new has not only been added, but multiplied. One more day of fun has been added to the curriculum and then multiplied by sixty-four happy sophomore faces. This year the sophomore classes were expecting their usual blue Thursday at school while the fresh- men and seniors would go off on their picnic and the juniors would be on their annual pilgrimage to Auriesville. But this year was to be different. Sister Ellen Mary and Sister Frances Marie announced that the sophomores, too, could celebrate. Suchjoy we had plan- ning for an outdoor luncheon when we would trade gaily decorated box lunches! Nor was this to be the end of sur- prises. While We were planning lunch andthe volleyball games to be played, our teachers were making their own plans to add to our delight by a show- ing ofthe movie, l Dream of Jeanie. We sophomores are grateful to those who made this first Sophomore Day a day we shall never forget.
