THIS IS OUR STORY . . . OUR STORY began four years ago when, as timorous and reticent frosh, we, the gradu¬ ates of ' 54, set out on the well-worn path of high school life. That first year saw the be¬ ginning of the Dramatic Club under the direc¬ tion of a new faculty member. Miss Salon. The many hours we spent in the careful study of dramatics and the stage were the first taste of the extra-curricular program we enjoyed. In our sophomore year we came to exper¬ ience the pleasant hours of social activities in such events as the Homecoming dance and the Winter Formal. We were no longer the youngest in school, and we found our class well represented in the school clubs. Junior year brought with it the dignified distinction of upperclassmen. ' ' This year brought one addition after another to OUR STORY: first, our own choral group directed by Sister Mary Edith, C.S.C.; then a church dedicated to St. Margaret Mary on our own campus; the formation of the S.D.S. by our own junior girls. Senior year! The first of these pages was a tale of sorrow, for in November we heard of the tragic death of an alumnus, Walter Homan, whom many of us had known in our junior year. Later, in December, came news of another classmate whom God had called, Gerald Bolch. In a happier vein, our operetta, Amahl and the Night Visitors , was pre¬ sented in December along with a program of Christmas carols. The year moved so fast, and soon the thrill of graduation was upon us — our senior pictures; then the yearbook sketches; finally, in a rush of excitement and the thrill of a job well done, graduation. This, then, is OUR STORY. 21
