CLASS 1-ttstotar ofthe GIRLS of Sr. MARYS PARISH URING our high school course we are taught the History of the World- men cmd wars-which is very interesting to us. Now, that our school career is coming to a close, it is time to look over our school years. This is not so exciting as the history we are taught in school, but it is just as interesting to us. While the las -A cry of school holds many thrills for us, the first day was almost as excitinll, , e looked forward to that day a long time before we were old enough to go to school,-and when it finally arrived, September 7, 1928, we awoke bright and early, eager to dress for this big event in our lives. About 7:30 many happy little girls were seen coming up Church Street. After eight o'clock Mass, forty-three of us, some of whom were accom- panied by our parents, wg 'i Wjtaken to the first grade room. That day we just enrolled and then were , assed, all went smoothly because our parents stayed with us, but the days following were not so easy for our teacher, be- cause, left without our mothers and being lonesome for home, we would not do all we were told. However, under the management of good Sister Anas- tasia, our fears were soon calmed. In time we learned numbers, the alphabet, and the reading of the pr' . We also learned interesting stories about Our Divine Lord, our first pare' in Paradise, the beauties of Heaven, and incidents in the lives of the saints. Thus the school year passed quickly and a vacation of three months began. After being out of school for so long, we were quite anxious to return to begin our second year. We rejoiced when we were given new books and saw that we were advancing in the subjects which we had started the previous year. It was while we were in second grade that we prepared for First Holy Communion. During the course of instructions one of our classmates, lane Werner, became seriously ill and was permitted to receive Our dear Lord be- fore the other members of the class. How sad six of us were when-we were told that we were not old enough to receive until the next yearl It was in Iune of that year that Anna Marie Iesberger acted as bride to Father Wolfgang Frey when he read his First Mass. How we all looked up to her and in our childlike way envied her. In the third year, instead of a Sister, we were entrusted to the care of a lay-teacher who seemed quite different, but whom we all liked. There was an addition of three girls to our class. These girls, who previous to entering the St. Marys Parochial school had been going to the St. Walburga school, are still with us. One of these, Alice Hacherl, is our class musician. That year we six who had not made our First Holy Communion were permitted to receive. The fourth grade was not very difficult and was much like the other three grades. In this grade, we bought many heathen babies. We put our money in a little box on Sister's desk, and when we had five dollars in it, we sent it away to some Missionary priest so that another little baby would receive sus- tenance and protection. We were permitted to select a name for each baby nga' 2 j 3 27
