Looking back into its files of the last four years, LIFE records the highlights in the high school career of the Senior Class— It was a rainy September day in 1944 when an average-looking group of frosh hesitantly walked into the halls of this school. Little did they realize how unusual their four years’ stay would be. With all manners of gripes and grunts they endured the overcrowded conditions, brought on by ever-increasing enrollment. Soon, however, hopes soared high when serious talk about a new building began. In the meantime, they fairly hummed with school activities and bubbled over with genuine school spirit. They became the authors of a sophomore publication, called the Magnificat”. As juniors, they gave a new name and new materials to the school paper. Finally, as mighty seniors, their dreams of a new building were realized and they became the first graduating class to enjoy its use. Among other things, the National Honor Society and the Quill and Scroll club were firmly established during their career. Now, with four happy, full years behind them, they smile with satisfaction and face the future with a very different attitude than those timid freshmen of not so very long ago.
