Academy Athletic Unfair Competition The Academy Athletic Association was organized only two years ago. It was received so enthusiastic- ally that now, in its third year, it has earned for itself a permanent place in the activities program at AHN. The reason for this is simple - we have fun! We started off the year with Hi Day, a sort of combination-picnic and field day. Hi Day was inaug- urated that all members of our AHN family might become better acquainted. In this it surely succeeded: for how dignified can even. a Senior look while running in a three-legged race. Next came a real red-letter day. On October 22nd we went to West Point to see the A rm y vs. Villa- nova football game. Actually, we made history, because with us there, there were no losers. Army won the game, and Villanova won Murph. The real blue-ribbon winner was Eugenie, who won West Point! l-leady with the success of these undertakings, we decided to hit the big-time. So we sponsored aski- trip to Mt. Show in Vermont. What we lacked in skill, we made up in enthusiasm. l-leimie proved to be such a natural skier on her first attempts that by afternoon she was offering to give lessons to the more timid souls. Skiing is delightful, invigorating, and expensive, so, since the best things in life are free, we decided to sample some of them. Right in our own back yard were beautiful snow-covered hills, just what we need- ed for a toboggan party. Before long the hills weren't the only things covered with snow. The end of winter sports did not leave us idle. It was time to start the Intra-mural basketball to urna- ment. The Seniors had the doubtful honor of losing three consecutive games in the round -robin. The night of the final play-off saw the Freshmen pitted against the Sophomores. Before a' large and noisy audience the freshmen won .by 'oneupoint and the trophy moved down to 62S. As this goes to press, we are looking forward to the final Triple A treat of the yearg our annual trip to Rome. The girls are most hospitable and we can hope they haven't been doing a nything s ne aky like practicing! Culmination of Triple A activities.

A Literary Sampling POEM I'm going down to the sea again, To chase the ripples in the tide and sculpture dreams in the sandg To feel the sting of salt against my cheeks, burning my eyes and parching my lipsg To feel the fingers of the wind running through my hair and pushing at my backg To stand amidst golden dunes, The sun holding me in its warm embrace: To hear the echo of the gulls wheeling slowly: in the burnished sky: To stand, witness to the stark expanse stretched out before me. At peace once more in communion with omnipotence and calm. by Mary Ellen Tammany TIME REMEMBERED Have I not known this breeze before That blows so wild- This sun, Whose brightness sparkles all the earth And turns it to a hue so golden warm? Yes-somewhere else- Some time ago, I knew a place Where sun and earth were one: Where golden sun and sun gold earth Were joined up in a golden song. The song of gold caught up the trees, The sparkling water, It caught and held them there- Somewhere- Where the wind blows wild And the sun sets all the earth aglow. by Susan Mangano
