Cumminsville. Lucille O'Neil was from the Cathedral. St. Michael's School sent two pupils. Loretta Reber and Alma Messer- schmidt. and from the Holy Family School had come Mary O'Brien. A The timidity of the new-comers vanished hefore the cordiality of the teachers and the 'sold girls . and all were ready to settle down to mastering the hardships common to the first year of High School. But the taslc was not so strenuous after all. and before long you found yourselves victors in the first hattle of High School life. Encouraged and strengthened hy this victory. you were now ready to meet whatever trials and difficulties the second year might present. During the second semester your numher was increased when Emma Wesley. sweet and wistful. appeared one morning seelt- ing admittance to the class. As undergraduates. you welcomed another smiling. black- haired young lady from Sharonville. Nell O'Brien.
