Juniors Carol Bachman and Carol Fox receive refresh- ments from Seniors Mar- garet Fennell and Barbara Kline. Y- -.1 - ,-L-,J uniora eceiue ey!! af jeu After several gloomy, rainy days, Saturday, the first of November, dawned bright and clear. It was a beautiful day which led to the already existing excitement and anticipation among the jtmiors. At last we were to receive our long -awaited keys. Arriving at school in our crisp new white dresses and blue sashes, we were greeted cheerfully by our senior sisters attired in their white dresses and pink sashes and wearing the keys on blue ribbons. Each junior was escorted to the cafeteria by her sister where friendly groups gathered to chat. Delicious hors-d'oeuvres and punch, prepared by the seniors, were served and enjoyed by all. Then, at last. the moment we were awaiting arrived. As each junior's name was read, she was presented with much -prized key by her senior sister. Following the presentation of the keys, appropriate words were spoken by Ellen O'Connell, president of Senior A and Mary Ruth Vottis, Ioan Spooner and Kathaleen Higgins, presidents of the Junior homerooms. We were also delighted, as we always are, to hear a few words from Father Edgar Holden. The re- mainder of the aftemoon was pleasantly spent watchingfkggh Qey a splendid movie. The kindness and friendliness of our senior sisters has made the Senior -Junior tea a happy memory for all Juniors. The words of merriment from Father Edgar amuse class presidents: Mary Ruth Vottis, Ellen O'Connell, Joan Spooner, and Katha- leen Higgins. Page 15

.fir Time: 8:00 Date: November 10, 1958 Place: Academy of the Holy Names Occasion: Opening night of The Wedding Shoes It was time: After weeks of anticipation, anxiety, and hard work, the night had finally arrived. The Thespians of the Senior Class brought forth their hidden ability -- Acting! Let us turn back the clock to the week of October 6, 1958. During this week it became known that tryouts for the play would be at 3:15. Everyone was excited and sur- prised when they learned the play, written by Beatrice McNeil, was to be a musical set in Holland. In the weeks preceding the play, the girls, besides memorizing lines, songs, and dances, were busy as bees making their own costumes. The costumes were varied shades of blue with stripes, polka dots and checks. To add to the gaiety of the play and make it more Amster- damish, the cast was fitted with real Dutch shoes-- wooden ones! 55-, .. ' 'A say 'ff if-if .ffsriaftkfv Time was getting short! November 10 loomed up on the calendar. The scenery was simple, yet attractive. In the center of the stage was a large windmill to bring to the play the spirit of Holland. The play was a huge success. The audience was intrigued by Foos fRoberta Reillyj, whose ,ability to scheme was incredible. Rika's QShei1a Vanqlercarj, shrieks of laughter filled the audience with -glee. Petronella, QCo1leen Sennettj, the fairest maid in Leyden town, was truly confused. Myneer Van Kopplekoop, fLeta. Lynchl, whose appetite was bigger than he, himself, will never be forgotten. Dirk Van Houten, fMary T. Hauberj, succeeded in winning fair Petronella, for his bride. Singers and dancers were superb. They deserve extra credit for putting over the musical side of our play. Without the expert guidance of Mrs. Reilly, our directress, Nancy Giuliano, our choreographer, Sister Frances of Mary, and Sister Annette Teresa, our play could never have achieved success. Willing cooperation, happy times, and hard work characterize our presentation of The Wedding Shoes.
