Nafalie Smiih, ediTor-in-chief of The yearbook, discusses lasT year's Signet with associaTe edifors, PaTricia Hills, Mary Friel, Louise Burgoyne and Nancy O'Donnel. The edifors hope To surpass The book in make-up and liferary con+enT. Prolifing by Their predecessor's work, These edifors should produce a good book. IJ H LITEH!-TRY I-l IJ YEAHBUIJH EFFUHT5 OT all The imporTanT evenTs ThaT cenTer abouT The seniors during The year, perhaps The one mosT looked Torward To is The appearance oT The liT4 erary and picTorial SigneT. This year's liTerary ediTion represenTed a cross secTion oT The enTire sTudenT body as each class was represenTed by conTribuTors boTh Tor prose and poeTry. AlThough The nnaior space oT The book is apporTionecl The senior class, neverThe- less, even The Treshman class may receive precef dence iT The arTicles submiTTed are oT a higher liTerary sTandard. This, oT course, did noT occur. The seniors wroTe The shorT sTories exclusively, while The iuniors conTribuTed The maioriTy oT The essays. Two skeTches by Joan McLaughlin in The liT- erary ediTion were done in pen, ink, and brush, All The oTher illusTraTions were Iinoleum blocks. We Teh' ThaT The illusTraTors ouTdid Themselves in originaliTy and varieTy, and ThaT The book deTi- niTely had more color and liTe To iT due To The increased number oT illusTraTions used. The yearbook ecliTion depicTs The life oT a CecilianiTe aT her sTudies, during her happy mo- menTs, or in her more serious moods. IT is a compleTe picTure of The school day OT a sTudenT Trom The TirsT To The TwelTTh grades inclusive, The picTures oT The Lower School parTicularly show The wide and varied curriculum as well as The many acTiviTies and leisure momenTs oT The liTTle ones.

To The graduaTe, iT is a souvenir of her senior year, oT The highlighTs sprinkled Throughout and a picTure parade oT her classmaTes. IT is a book all her own, of her school in sTory Torm, and oT all she loves and cherishes. ln oTher words, iT is her SigneT.

These Tamous words oT The greaT Cardinal Neu- mann sum up The general aims oT The Cecilian Academy. They are, likewise, in keeping wiTh The TradiTions upheld by The STudenT Govern- menT. This governmenT is an associaTion headed by elecTed oTTicers and advisors Trom each home room, ln This manner The sTudenTs are able To voice Their opinions in maTTers concerning The governing laws. AT The insTallaTion oT oTTicers, The rules are read beTore The enTire sTudenT body.

This piclure gallery of Cecilian graduales is a popular and well-lhumbed bool! especially as gradualion lime nears. Marianne Somers circles lhe dale, June first, which will mark +he commencemenl exercises of fhe class ol I947 al lhe Bellevue Slralford Holel. 35 5E IUH EL!-XSS HISTUHY Why, we iusl can'l be on lhe verge of gradualionl And surely four years haven'l gone by since lhal memorable day when we firsl lrudged up lo Cecilianls door, pencils in our hands and fear in our eyes! Remember how Nance and Pal Reinharl broke an all-lime record by wearing differenl oulfils every day for lhree weeks? And lhe way we all gasped when we saw Jean Scally's long blond hair? l-low amazed we all were by our slrange new subiecls, lhe differenl leachers and lhe oh-so-glamor- ous upperclassmen who drifled around, deep summer lans slill shining on lheir confidenl-looking faces. We even held one of our own classmales, Margery Nahill, in awe, for she had been al Cecilian for lwo years already, and she, al leasl, knew her way around. Whal an innocenl, limid lillle group we were! Looking al us now, would you say lhal we had changed? Of course, lhere are some new faces in our midsl, and several of lhe old ones are gone. The Kenny lwins, who came in January of our freshman year, are now as much a parl of Cecilian as lhe mosl seasoned of us. Terri Canuso, Florence Beezer, Nancie Lulher, Carmela Pascuzzi and Marianne Somers arrived during sopho- more and iunior years, and have been making lhings lively ever since. Among lhose who lefl are Belly Cronin, now a residenl of Drexel l-lill: Belly Lane, who lives in Washinglon, D. C., Diane Crum, who moved back lo her nalive Illinois, and Rila McCaffrey, whom California claimed afler she had spenl one shorl year wilh us. Does il seem possible lhal our sophomore card parly was held so very long ago? Why, I can remember yel lhe way we lore around l-loly Child l-lall wilh plales of cookies and cups of lea, and lhe fun we had slraighlening up lhe hall and finishing lhe cookies afler everyone had gone. We all wore our Easler suils lhal day-and our high heels, loo. l wonder how many of us wenl home wilh bare feel lucked under lhe cushions of lhe car? Will you ever forgel lhose marvelous limes we always had in lhe springlime, praclicing for Mayday on lhe lovely cullivaled lawn? The word Mayday seems almosl synonomous wilh lhe Rose Drill dance and ils melodious accompanimenl, Soulhern Roses, which will always bring back noslalgic memories of Cecilian. And whenever we hear excerpls from Pirales of Penzance, is lhere anyone who will fail lo remember Paula Breene and Mary Friel as Gilberl and Sullivan cops ? Dramalics, however, were nol our only claim loward fame. We had four baskel- ball slars in our class-Mary Tynan, our caplain: Joan D-onoghue, Ann Schullz, and Marianne Somers, whose sleadlaslness and hard work resulled in one of lhe mosl successful seasons we have ever had. Much of our success may be allribuled lo cheerleaders Nalalie Smilh, Terri Canuso and Nance Reinharl, who backed lhe leam wilh songs and cheers all lhe way. And in menlioning baskelball, surely we cannol forgel Palricia Filzgerald, our devoled and ever ready scorekeeper. Anolher highlighl of our senior year was lhe annual Spring Fashion Show, in which lhe home economics class modeled lhe dresses which lhey had made during lhe course ol lhe year. Many of lhe oulfils were oulslanding, including Peggy l-lealey's, Rosemary O'Meara's, Joan O'Rourke's and Eslher Marlins Looking back over lhese and olher evenls of our high school days, suddenly we begin lo realize how sad il will be lo leave. For from lhe momenl we arrived, as eager, wide-eyed freshmen, unlil lhe very day of gradualion, we enioyed every momenl of life al Cecilian. .Vi YEAHBIJUI-i EIJITUH NATALIE ADELE SMITH 240 S.
