IN RETROSPECT Entering our junior year in September 1952, we tackled our 1952 subjects with renewed vigor. Time passed swiftly as we 1953 probed into such topics as Cicero's Orations and conquered the forces of gravity with our simples machines of Physics. Suddenly the Christmas season drew on, before we knew it we were back in school start- ing a new year after the mid-term examinations. Time marched on, slowly but surely. Then around Easter, during the Holy Season of Lent, many students in the school began a new course of study. Every afternoon, floodlights blazed and actors practiced under the direction of Rev. Donald L. Williams. The last week of school before the Easter vacation found everything prepared, and two performances of a version of The Passion Play was produced on our stage. Then we retired to our . vacation with the real meaning of Easter and Christ lingering in our minds. When we returned, two new problems awaited us. With the final exams only a few months away, studies became of the utmost importance. Mean- while, the form of the Gaudeamus slowly took shape, as we awaited our turn to bid farewell to our upper- classmen. The exams came and went with many a headache, and at last we staged the farewell, real- izing that upon our return from the welcomed sum- mer vacation, we would face our final year in high school. Well, the goal finally has been reached - Seniors at last. Who 1953 could forget that September ? We had arrived at a year that 1954 was full of privileges and duties. The class officers for the year were: Gerald LeMole, Presidentg Robert Brennan, Vice-president: Alfred Ziccardi, Secretaryg John McLean: Treasurer. The Student Council had Louis Correard for President and Kenneth Saccaro as Vice-president. The same enthusiasm that characterized us in previous years in the field of sports was evident again. Varsity berths on Father Fenton's basketball team were ably filled by our senior athletes. With happiness we approached the day of graduation and another step for- ward in our education: but down deep in our hearts were we really happy? We could say that we were proud to have been graduated, perhaps that word might have expressed our feelings. Yet, in the words of Shakespeare: Parting is such sweet sor- row . We will leave the Academy: many of us will continue on together to the priesthood, while others of our class will enter various professions: still-- we are leaving the Mount and it is-- sweet sor- row . ll , ,W ,mmm
