14 GOAL--- ----- ---ACCOMPLISHED As we wandered slowly down the halls of Aquin our faces held a look of wonderment and astonishment. We were really in high school! e--N-Almost adults! But what was this all aboute---this changing from room to room for every class? It only helped to mix up our already confused minds a little more than before. Then some of those subjects we had to take! Especially algebra! !hat a horrible thing- didn't quite get it until we were half way through the year. Seems ages past, but looking back it was only four years ago that we were frightened freshmen who stood gawky-eyed at the big handsome senior boys or those lucious senior girls. Incrediblei! Can't you just picture Wayne sitting in algebra Hcharmingu Sister Eymard, or Art Krieger sleeping through history class? REMEMBER the coo fun we had trying to raise money for the Mardi Gras, but we found our efforts in vain, because we came out last anyway? That year we were in- troduced to that Greek language ----- Latin. REMEMBER the many times Sister Marie Paul told Karen she'd talk to a wooden pole if it say next to her---- -G! remember one of Dick Cramer's famous quips? It was the year of our first Student Council with John Lampe and Sam Cardinal elected unanimously to represent our class. REMEMBER our great poetic contribution to the world. VThe Night Before Christmasu which was written by any and everyone in the class, and was published in the school newspaper by Dick Plowman, that dashing young reporter? Then our class picnic!!!!!- ---- --the law of no

Whither are they vanished? Into the airg and what seemed corporal melted As breath into the wind. would they had stayed. We undertook our pfqject with the intention of presenting in pictorial form the story of our sojourn at A Q U I N. R We have tucked within the . pages of our book the record of scholastic and extra-curricularr achievement not of our own class only, but of the other classes as well. Some day in the dusk-shadowed future we shall be glad to leaf through our volume of memories and shall find it pleasing in that day to recall the things pictured here.
