CLASS It was a warm September morning in 1937 when sixteen of us present Seniors, with tablets and pencils under our arms, entered the first grade at john Carroll, little knowing what was in store for us. Many a tear was shed until Sister Mary Francisco sheltered us under her loving wing. Having learned our ABC's , we were sent on to Sister Mary Fabian and the second grade. At this time, the num- ber of our class was increased by the addition of Pat Dier- ker, joe Cody, and Sally O'Hern. The most important oc- currence of this year, the reception of our First Holy Com- munion, was an event never to be forgotten. It was also in this exciting class that we acquired a fad for keeping cray- olas and pencils in a match box. At the close of this school year we were elevated to the third grade Cthat is, we were promoted from the basementl. Sister Mary Modesta greeted this hardy little group, now including jackie Fennessey, james Futrell, and Shirley Mc- Kane, with a big smile on her face, and a ruler in her hand. In May, she bade us adieu, completely worn out from the struggle of teaching the third graders how to use a fountain pen without breaking a bottle of ink every time. In the course of our fourth year, under the guidance of Sister Mary Boniface, we received the Sacrament of Con- firmation from the late Bishop Kelly. The fifth and sixth grades passed quickly, under the supervision of Sister Mary Andrea. By the time we had reached the seventh grade, our number had increased with the addition of Kaye King, je- rome Hardesty, and Eleanor Lacy. Now we turned our in- terest to boys, girls, and parties. The eighth grade was climaxed not only by the coming of Simon Kuehler, jimmy Tener, and jim Steichen, but also by our graduation from grade school and the wonderful party that followed at jack Eckioat's home. At last we had entered the whirl of highschool activities -Pep Club, Honor Society, Basketball, feeds, Glee Club, Choir and last but not least LATIN. Dear Latin! Many an hour Sister Mary Alicia spent drilling agricola, agricolae into the thick-headed Freshman Class. Here our class took time out to welcome two new members-Mary Ellen Ter- rell and Betty Easterling. It was during our Frosh year that we spent two memorable weeks after school memoriz- ing The Lady of Shalott as a punishment for shooting rubber bands at one another. In March of this year, the Pep Club and team joyfully ventured to Tulsa, only to see our team emerge defeated in the State Catholic Basketball Toumament. At the end of the year we were surprised to see how many of our class eamed a place on the State Honor Roll. Our Sophomore year began with a triangle, as we were then taking geometry from Sister Mary Clement. Not only were we drawing angles in our sleep, but we were -fighting Caesar in our nightmares. At the beginning of the year we Dorothy Rutherford wills her slow Texas drawl to jerry King. And to Joanne Boecker and joan Williams, she be- queaths her reserved booth at the drug store, in the hope that they will get quicker service than she received. Robert Schmitz wills his bottle of peroxide to Dorothy Hoffman. Georgie Schreiber leaves hei famous giggle to Clara Ann McGuire. james Steichen wills his charming way with the women to Eddie McCarthy. james Tener bequeaths his Trig book, with answers, to Eddie Chew. Mary Ellen Terrell wills her talkativeness to Gracie Thomas, and to Phyllis Heckenkamp and Betty O'Meara she bequeaths a pitch pipe to keep the altos in tune. Carolyn Venard wills to Margaret Ann Murphy her ability to talk thirty minutes after she's dead, and to Wanda Nichols she bequeaths her ability to read shorthand and look at the answer sheet at the same time. Robert Wehling wills his ability to grow side-burns to jimmy Eckstein. Phil Wirt wills his track medals to Diane Schneider. Signed by -SENIORS, '49 HISTORY welcomed Virginia Fallaschek, Gloria Pannell, jimmy Logs- don, and Ralph Blasier. The Catholic Tournament of '46 '47 was held here in Oklahoma City, with our team upset- ting Tulsa, and coming out victorious with a trophy to prove it. What a thrill! With the arrival of our junior year came not only jack Dolin, Margarite Hanly, and Philla Lee Mitchell, but also the excitement of the junior Carnival and the junior-Senior prom. The Camival was a booming success, and we knew we would have a super prom. Of course, it was through class co-operation and through the aid of Sister Mary An- drea that both were successful. Again our team ventured to Tulsa for another three day tournament and again we captured the championship cup. Our Junior-Senior Prom occurred May 4, and a week later we still felt the after effects. It was a marvelous affair, with everyone enjoying himself. Finally the end arrived-with all the Juniors' eyes looking ahead to their Senior year. It was on September 6, 1948, that all thirty-seven of us. now including Mary Reichmann, Enid Edmiston, and Dor- othy Rutherford, entered the Old Bastile to complete our last year. At last we were Seniors, and who was our home- room teacher and principal but Sister Mary Alicia, whom we welcomed back from St. joseph's with open arms? Leave it to the Seniors to start the year with a bang-we were caught eating Fritos during Lab period. We all repented. and Sister mercifully forgave us. School had hardly started when our long-awaited class rings arrived, more beautiful than in our dreams. The Class of '49 resolved to undertake the publication of a yearbook-the first sponsored at Car- roll in over twenty years-but this year we were fortunate in having Joe Cc-dy as our Class President and Sister Mary Alicia as our Principal, so great things could be expected. In December we mourned the loss of Dolores Grout, who finally hooked her ball and chain around jim McGinley. In February the school elected Don Ille and Pat Dierker as Annual King and Queen. By then the basketball tea,m was well on its way to victory, with both the team and the Pep Club looking ahead to the tournaments in March. After coming out victorious in the first two games, the team was defeated by two points the final night. Even in defeat we didn't lose very much, because we gained the mid-state and state runner-up trophies, and a lesson in good sports- manship. Next in our best and final year, came the Senior Play. The class chose Pride and Prejudice and selected a cast of very talented Seniors to present it. After this our thoughts turned again to the prom-this time the last one. And now as we are nearing the moment of graduation, we stop to wonder how we made the goal, and realize how much the Sisters of Mercy and the priests of the Cathedral have helped us in their guidance these past twelve long years.
