A Day to Remember by Jill Boylan and Annette Gilmoriin It all began when two Seniors crossed the thresholds of the Freshman classrooms to make known poetically the activities of Freshman Week. This news, received with gasps and groans, traveled quickly, and after classes everyone was eagerly talking about Freshman Day. The next day, before we could enter the cafeteria, we had to curtsey to a seemingly endless line of Seniors. We also had to recite a poem acknowledging ourselves as lowly Freshman. All of these activities were only preparations, how- ever, and the long-awaited day finally arrived. Eagerly eighty-seven Freshman trooped into the temporarily quiet halls of A.H.N. Each was equipped with slate, braids, and a shiny apple for her Senior teacher. And so this Frosh Day 1956 began. Morning classes went on as usual, but at twelve o'clock everyone piled into buses and cars for the trip to Thatch- er Park. Upon arrival we found the air was damp and raw, but that did not dampen our spirits. The first thing we did was meet the blood-curdling task of catching ten grasshoppers. Our return trip to A.H.N. was enjoyed as much as the earlier ride except for the fact that it meant the close of a wonderful aftemoon. Thus the event known as Freshman Day became the iirst of a score of many rich memories of our Freshman year. Q Helen Matthews, Carol De Marco, Loretta Young, and Louise Krasevic look on as Karleen Gentile recites her act of submission to Seniors. Kathaleen Higgins, Susan Trahan, Maureen Ma- honey, and Patricia Varden smile, relieved that they have passed senior inspection. We Hove Mei an Author The annual trip to Auriesville, Shrine of the North American Martyrs, was even more important than us- ual. Little did we know, as we went bouncing along over the last lap of our bus trip that an added feature awaited us. After the disappointment of having no Mass, the girls who had fasted were happy to receive Holy Com- munion at least. That is when it all began. Rev. Joseph E. Keams, S. I., author of the catchy articles in 16 the Queen's Work entitled To digress for a moment on. . . , delivered an informative and inspirational sermon and then spent some time outside conversing with the girls. We were delighted by his anecdotes of his days teaching high school boys, and impressed by his lively inspiration. The rest of our pilgrimage will be remembered be cause of the cold weather which forced all but the bravest to eat on the bus. The Auriesville trip is an occasion to be remem bered.
