October twenty-seven, was the date chosen for the hrst candy sale, the proceeds of which went to the mission society. Patricia McMullen, Lillian Macro, Theresa Schlichte, Alice Moran, Jane Ford, Joyce Savarino saw that our candy was distributed and sold. James Maley and Charles Moore, with the able assistance of Paul Thieroif and Thomas Collins, were in charge of the raffles. We let the Freshmen keep the tradition of bring- ing in the most money by bringing in the second most ourselves. February tenth an oratorical contest was held between our class and the Freshmen. We were represented by Joseph Leonard, Clement Sweeney, Mary Catherine O'Leary, Joanne Schmitt. During our meeting, February nineteenth, it was suggested that we collect maga- zines for the boys in the service of our country. Jeanette Kelly and Donald Ryan were put in charge of this drive. It was very successful and the magazines were sent to' the boys at Camp Dix. . March fifth saw our second candy sale go by. This was also a success. These pro- ceeds were given to the missions likewise. We had a special drive for the missions beginning of March twelfth. Our class col- lected thirteen dollars with which we ransomed two Chinese babies, we named George Michael and Patricia Ann. George's Godparents are Clement Sweeney and Rose Weiser, and Patricia's are James M aley and Mary Louise Harrington. We regret that one of our loyal classmates, Lyman Dunning, chose to leave us in January. We are all exceedingly proud that Lee is serving his country very well, occupy- ing the position of the man behind the gun. In closing we wish to express our sincere gratitude for the patient assistance shown to us in the post war year by the faithful encouragement of the nuns and the Reverend John J. Morrissey, O.M.I. We look forward with enthusiasm to the coming years which we will spend in the Annunciation High School. 'lr AFTER THE STORM At last with one resounding trash, The thunder passed awayg The rain fame down with gentle splash, The winds had lost their sway. Then as hy magifs wondrous spell, The waves calmed once again, As rain's sweet halsain gently fell And .soothed them in their pain. 48
