...Q Ourselves . . . . the Seniors That unique day, September 8, 1953, we were asked to give our first impressions of our new status--students in high school, and of our new school--Hogan. Our comments, as bewildered freshmen, concerned weary feet, resisting lockers, appreciated food, and mixed- up classrooms. - As seniors, we now look back on those topics as very minor factors in our four years at Hogan. Instead, we re- member happily and wistfully our wonder at the flurry of our gigantic first paper drive, and the fun of the following seven drives. We think about our stiff knees as we heard Mass on the crowded bleachers, and how proud we were when we graduated to the chairs on the gym floor. The upperclassmen we will always appreciate for their kindness to those dumb underclassmcn . How we en- joyed their plays and assemblies, but most of all, we enjoyed die fearful excitement of Operetta and Play nights, when we ourselves were performing, Contrary to all expectations, we won some hard fought contests: the candy sale both sophomore and junior years, and the Prism drive during our senior year. Because of our desire for Hershey bar prizes we were declared Most Intelligent in our junior year. Will we ever forget the tremendous pep assemblies peculiar only to Hogan? For two years We came away from our noisy games, sad, but determined, and our determination paid off when we joyously and triumphantly carried off the Catholic League Championship in football for the next two consecutive years. The Homecoming games too were special, and how proud we were to get into the Pep Club, which gave us greater opportunity to support the team and to share more intimately in its efforts and results. Finally, we will always remember and benefit from our three years in the Sodality--the Masses, Rosaries, May Crownings, and thc prayerful aspect of every activity. Our lives will be enriched by the principles we have learned in our religion classes, under the guidance of the sacrificing and time -giving local priests, and in our retreats, in particular our senior retreat directed by Father Clark. In years to come we will look back, and remember, and thank our two principals--Sister Francetta and Sister Mary Pauline, all our other teachers, and beloved classmates for making our high school days the most wonderful and memorable days of our lives.
