The Freshmen Go To Playday I've been in hectic situations, but being a freshman on Playday, well that's IT! I waved and cast a last glance after rapidly disappearing buses and realized that a Playday . . . my thrill- ing lirst . . . had passed. As I ambled toward the gym, I thought of how many rushed hours had been spent in planning. From the oldest senior to the youngest freshman Qwe're all young in spiritlj everybody gave a hand playing, arrang- ing benches, appointing committees, or perform- ing menial tasks like cleaning the luncheon area Qnaturally the angelic freshmen did the latterj! Remembering my numerous qualms and those of my softball teammates, I smiled indulgently Above: Sue-San Weir' earns a blue ribbon for Dominican.

Breathtaking games, jovial practices, and noisy song rehearsals all help us grow in an always varying atmosphere and certainly keep life from becoming dull. What a relief it is to glide into a lively game of basketball, or on hot days into a pool of cool, shimmering water.
