Why, it seems like only yesterday that we seniors of '47 insisted on grad- uation in white caps and gowns. White, we pleaded, looked so regal, so out- standing! How could we know this simple basic color came in so many different shades and tones? And has it been six years since I heard a Setonian make the immortal intro- duction . . . . . and now, we'll have a few words from Father Haber? I often think what a gigantic vocabulary Father must have had to be able to compact his speeches into a few words. We always thought Father Haber belonged to our class in a special way, because he raised us from scared, young freshies all the way through Christian Social Principles. We also had the distinction of being Seton's war babies, at least that is the name Sister Regina Clare gave us. Due to material conservation during the war, our freshman class had official permission to wear short-sleeved blouses. It's amazing how those blouses just never did wear out-we were still war babies in Iune of '47. Would life at Seton have been so happy without Sister Regina Clare? And I wonder how interesting Ivanhoe would have been without her artistic stickmen riding gallantly into battle on their stalwart stick- horses! Can I ever forget the piece d' resistance of It's A Ming-Minerva, the odd girl, meticulously cleaning her glasses in the second act! Minerva's glasses were rather extraordinary fand so was Minervalg they didn't have any lens, just frames. Why is Mother drying her eyes? Because, Iunior, just a 'few words' re- called just a few happy memories about my class of '47. I r

L 4 .I sf Rli 75. . fl as tai it ge lf te - Qr.C1... . '.r8..71. QW. fZ...zz September, 1944-Do you remember it, class of '48? That was the first real look you had at Elizabeth Seton High School. Yes, you had been there to visit, to see its exterior, to meet its faculty. But now you were really on the inside. You were about to become a part of the little red school house, and a very important part, too. Yes, you were the last of the pioneer classes, and you've always been pretty proud of that. You made Seton a complete, four-class school. These days were so strange and exciting, weren't they, class of '48? Did I say strange? Well, whoever heard before of an assembly being held on the steps of the main hall? How could we all fit-the whole school? But you did, didn't you? The class of '48 can hardly believe that now that ESI-IS has a lovely new auditorium! Do you remember your first Christmas at Seton, class of '48? Remember the first time you saw the tree on the landing? Mr. O'Toole had worked so hard on it, and it did look beautiful, didn't it? You loved to change classes just to catch another glimpse of it. And oh, the first turkey dinner! Wasn't it delicious? But you had to Wait until you were sophomores for that. Remember? Which one of you will forget the first May Crowning you were in, or the very first Graduation anybody was in at Seton! Didn't you feel wonderful just to be a part of it? The seniors looked so dignified in their caps and gowns, and you wondered how you would look in yours. You just couldn't imagine your- self so calm and mature as they seemed to you then. Seton was such a wonderful school, and you were eager to plunge into your next three years. You wanted to capture the privileges and duties, honors and responsibilities that came with each succeeding year. You had your share of them all, class of '48. You graduated Iune 6, 1948, with all the poise and dignity that you saw in the first seniors. Now, five years later, you can look back on the achievements of your four years and still be very, very proud of them. Yes, you were the last of the pio- neers, and you filled your part well. You, along with your sister classes, helped to set the standards by which Seton is known today. You and your wonderful teachers, who guided and ad- vised you, helped to turn Seton from the little red school house to a big and beautiful red school house. Yes, the exterior has changed and grown since you left, but the same wonderful spirit that captured you way back in 1944 still reigns on Capitol Hill. Aren't you glad you were a part of it, class of '48? C 4
