Yes, now we are Seniors, but the days, the weeks, and the months are quickly passing, and soon the events of the years 1952 and 1953 will be fading memories, memories of time passed in praying, studying, and participation in social activities, memories of a year spent acquiring the final touches before entering the vast world before us. What will we recall, in future years, when we recall our spiritual development as a Senior at Holy Names 1 As we look over the months that have passed, we hear the harmonious blending of slx hundred voices at a Student Body Mass. We see a spellbound audience listening to a missionary from Chlnay we visit a chapel filled with girls saying the Rosary, and we become aware again of the necessity of Our Lady's Peace Plan. These events have been among our spiritual activities, -nd will always be cherished memories ln the years to come. And now we see piles of books with green, white, and red covers, books which have played an important part ln our Senior Year. After many nights of studying, we have transferred much of the information wlthln their covers into our mlnds. Sometimes the llght burned late into the nl ht to complete certain projects or to study for a test, but the satisfaction we felt when we awoke the following morning wiped out the long, weary evening before. Not forgetting the memories of our spiritual and academic llfe, we now turn to the social slde of our last year at school. The events have been numerous, and they have kept us busy the entire year. Dances, teas, committees, and stage crews all took a good deal of time and work, but the successful results were always rewarding. A memory which we shall not forget is the winning of the basketball cup. After spending many nights at school practicing, we finally won all the games, and, as a result, acquired the only cup won by our class during the year. Before long these memories will include the final events of our Senior Year. The Student Body Masses, the books and the echoing cheers of girls at a basketball game will never be ours as they are now,but memories of them will always remaln.A chapter of our lives will be completed as we walk down the aisle on Graduation Day, and if we are able to say at the end of this time, 'I am closer to my final goal---eternal happiness with God,'---then shall we be able to smile proudly over a year well spent---our ever memorable Senior Year.

Q- enior alcliuified nupward and Onward Now and Ever, Oh loyal class of '53.u ---- September was here and we were at long last 'Sen- iors.u ---- we began our numerous activities with Welcome Week. We all got together and made nHello Dayn badges. Everyone was given a badge to wear and, when Welcome Week was over, we all had acquired new friends. The Freshmen seemed to enjoy Senior-Frosh oay almost as well as the Seniors. Everyone was tired out after playing some vigorous games, but we soon were refreshed by the wonderful ice cream that was served when we xere through. You should have seen how proud we were the day our class was officially presented to the Student Body. After our motto, colors, officers and patroness were in troduced, loud cheers went up as our cheerleaders came in to lead us in a yell. That was one day we shall long remember. when we heard our first dance Qour Informalj was going to be November 28, we surely were excited. But the night of the dance we were even more so. The music of the San Franciscans was out of this world . And if you ever want to see a wonderful place, you should see the Mira Vista Country Club. Everyone agreed that it was the best dance we have ever had. Have vou ever wandered in to the social hall after school on the last Friday of the month? No doubt, then, you have seen Senior Court in found using one of our privileges was brought in and tried before our court. we all had much fun on December 21, when we came un to school and sang our favorite Christmas Carols to our favorite fa- culty. We also re-enacted the Nativity scene. Afterwards we were served refreshments and entertained in turn by our wonderful Sis- ters. Then on January 30, we held our Sport Dance in the Social Hall. We centered our theme around 'Mr. Glowworm,n who saw to it that every senior there had a good time. A number of us had never before had the opportunity to see the new Holy Name Novitiateg so, on February 5, we took a trip down to Los Gatos. After seeing the Sisters' beautiful novitiate, we wit- nessed the most beautiful ceremony we probably shall ever see. The postulants received their white veils and the novices their black veils.

Lone Mountain, Holy Names, Notre Dame and Dominican were the colleges opened to us on this dav. This experience helped us to decide where we would spend our next four years. Much fun was had on Junior-Senior Game Day fMarch lll. The game was really terrific, and, as a result of the excited cheering Kby both sidesj, several cases of Nhnarseness' developed. The score ended 21-ll, with the seniors taking the honors. Sklts were presented by both sides before the game and at half time. The juniors 'went Hawaiian', and Ivanhoe was the theme we chose. The next day, to celebrate our triumph, a victory party was held in the cafeteria at lunch time. Team members were the guests of honor and three large cakes were on hand to add a festive touch to the celebration. On Homecoming Day we were officially welcomed into the Alumnae Assoclaticn. After the meeting, we attended a tea, where many old friendships were renewed. Our suc- cessful mlxer with St. Mary's, U.S.F., and Santa Clara was held on April 25th in the So- cial Hall. Our decorations were banners, hats, and pom-poms from the various colleges. Everyone present that night seemed to be having a wonderful tlme. We have been very fortunate in having a talen- ted group of musicians ln our class. Six of our Seniors have made their Seventh Grade recltals. Janet Goodfellow is the first flute player in our school to receive her Junior Certificate in flute, and her fellow class mates are proud of her indeed. After many hard hours of prac- tice, Arlene Long, Ann Flood, Norrine Gilllbert, Joelle Beyrle, and Marie Jansen received the Junior Certificate after giving a Seventh Grade recital ln piano. Some going by bus and others by car, we started to Sacramento on a beau- tlful warm day. We were very lucky that day, for we were able to see the senate in session and to visit the rustic museum at Sutters Fort. K Our Senior Picnic finally came--What a day ln May that was for all the sen- lors. Everyone had a wonderful time at Adobe Creek, SVA-mming and PiCfliCin9- We were all sorry when the day ended, for this was the last 3CtiVi'f-Y we Participated in as 3 class. On May 28th all our mothers attended Mass and breakfast with us. ManY of our friends' mothers, whom they had not known before this tlme, met 8 the affair added much happiness to everyone's day. We all looked forward to our Day of Recollection and when it finally came, our antici- patlons were abundantly fulfilled.

Eleven o'clock: Final Student Body meeting. You think, with a starts but it was only yesterday that I went to my first Student Body meeting! Remember when the first daring freshman got up to make a contribution to a Student Body discussion? And the first awards assembly? And the guest speakers? And the plays? And the receptions? And the drives? And the skits? They are kaleidoscoplc memo- ries of events past, yet they make a pattern. All those bright pieces of fun, of satisfaction, of cooperation, reflected again and again by six hundred girls, make a great design of unity through the organization of the Student Body. It is just that---a body of all the students. It is the or- ganization which makes slx hundred girls one. Standing ln the main hall you continue to reminisce, especially about this last year, under a really fine Student Body president, Marie Jansen. There were many new projects: joint executive- councils with St. Mary's, special vocational programs, plans for a student court, and a handbook for all the school organizations. All the old traditions were continued: formal awards assemblies, discussions on pertinent topics, the Christmas party, plays, and the Student Body Masses. But glancing back to the board it dawns upon you that this is the conclusion of your partici- pation in all these activities. Sadly you realize that you have had your last chance to give some- thing to the Student Body and the last opportunity to receive something from it. At eleven o'clock you go the the auditorium and take your place for the last Student Body meet ing. Six hundred girls in blue and white stand straight and sing triumphantly, 'Holy Names, for- ever! May her spirit guide and guard!' Then it is over. But these are the memories that you, and all of us in the Senior Class proudly hold of the Student Body of Holy Names. executive Counci Maureen Hester Pat Hayes Bernadette Coakley Rosalie Rogers Arlene Fregulia Janet Goolfellow Jeanette Sedgwick Joanna Maze Joan Hesselschwerdt Kathleen McKeany Alyce Roach Kathleen Fogarty Sandra Gerbo Janet Del Tredici Marie Jansen Marian Rose Mary Ellen Grant Sally Birkland Kathleen Mclnnis Penelope Gerner Pat Hossack Marie McNamara Pat Murphy Marge Epperson csluclenld Spiritual Uounci!

Through its many and varied activities, it has fostered the spiritual growth of its members, both as a whole and as individuals. As a matter of fact, it sponsors so many activities within the school and with the other Catholic high schools, that it keeps Joanna Maze,her officers and the six cmnnit- tee chairmen on the go continually. Of the activities within the school we remember the fun we had on S.S.C. Half Day with all the booths and raffles and noise, the crowning of our senior candidate as queen of the May, the lively discussions at the meetings. We were proud of the money we could send to the missions and happy when the results of the Bishops' Relief Fund drive were announced. In our committees Catholic Action was the Cry: singing at old peoples' homes, selling Catholic Christmas cards and books, reciting the Rosary daily in the Chapel, sending clothing and food to foreign missions, and making altar linens. A new and important activity was introduced this year. Two Holy Family Sisters came each Thurs- day to conduct Confraternity of Christian Doctrine classes. Armed with certificates received at the conclusion of these classes, thirty-one HNHS students will be able to share with others their Catho- lic instruction and training in a more efficient manner. Pastors should find them better prepared now to teach catechism in their parishes. Aside from activities within the school, together with the other high schools of the Bay Area the S. S. C. sponsored a fashion contest of modest formals. Then, of course, there were the Federa- tion meetings culminating in the big Federation in San Francisco. We recall the inspiration received from hearing the high ideals of students our own age. And now all these activities are drawing to a close. The final Federation has passed, the May procession has come and gone, we have attended our last committee meeting. But the activities and ideals of the S.S.C. will stay with us alwaysg because all of them--interest in the missions, devo- tion to Catholic action, love of our Blessed Mother and her Divine Son--have become our ideal for a lifetime. executive Council Joan Hesselschwerdt Kay Fogarty Joanna Maze Maureen Hester Nancy Capor , Marilyn Coakley Barbara Hayes Phyllis Letsom Chairman of Catholic Chairman of Christian Life Co-Chairman of P.A.C.

All the traditional games were played, and we, the seniors, were very jubilant over our cup! We shall remember the Game Days as a huge success in spite of the rain. There was a sports activity for everyones volley-ball, basketball, tennis, and bowling. For those of us who played none of these, the Athletic Association sponsored a rag drive. The money ob- tained from the sale of the rags will enable the AJ A. to purchase a large radio for the auditori m. Several new things were iniatlated, too. A contest for a new song for the A.A. was held: a pep squad and school banner award were inaugurated into its activities: a picnic for all active members was given for the first time this year. Yes, the schedule was full, not only with athletic contests, but also with fun and good sports- manship. we, the seniors, remember not who won or lost, but the fun, the spirit, and the sportsman- ship in playing the game.

Hours of practice and study bear fruit in a good number of beau- tiful recitals each year. During the current year, four Seniors were presented ln recitals for the Senior Certificate in Music. Eight girls received the Junior Certificate. A musical highlight of the first semester was our lovely operetta, nA Waltz Dreamn, by Oscar Strauss. Countless were the glowing praises with which it was received by three large au- diences last November. The renown of our orchestra grows daily. It now numbers forty-two girls, whose loyalty, and cooperation, together with long hours of practice under the irresistible baton of their per- suasive maestro, result in the beautiful music we love to hear. Our Holy Names Choral is a large and important section of the Music Department. Their me- lodious numbers and the charm with which they are rendered make this group a very popular one. Frequently when these songbirds perform, audiences plead, nwhy can't we have more?n A music club, 'the Cecllians, has been formed by students of the Music Department. It is responsible for the attractive bulletin boards in the Music Hall, the musical teas held from time to time, and occasional barbecues in the Rock Garden. Hard working lovers of music realize that the benefits they receive through this department at Holy Names are invaluable.

The Drama- tlcs Department is dramatizlng all year long. This year it has added to an ever increasing list of creditable productions Lewis Carroll's 'Alice In Wonderland. Together with the orchestra and glee, this department shared the honors of our tremendously successful operetta, A Waltz Dream. Largely responsible for the enthusiasm and capable performance of our budding actresses is their teacher, Miss Laura Miller. Her unflagglng interest and zeal are obviously fruitful, and, we trust, eqaally rewarding. h The dramatics club, gag in-Q gg-Ll, organized only last year, has some members who take part :Ln its plays and skits. A Thanksgiving play, Christmas play, and Shakespearian Festival were its acti- vities this year.

Life membership in the California Scholarship Federation, indicated on the record of each student by a seal, gives to those who have earned it a certain pres- tige and the right to compete for certain scholarships. At present five Seniors enjoy this privilege, while others hope to merit it at the end of the present semester.

Here the time passes quickly as students plough their way through elements, acids, molecules and ions. Still fresh in the minds of some of us, somewhat more hazy in the recollections of others are such scientific activities as bal- ancing equations, testing for unknowns, concocting the most interesting solutions, precipitating occasional mild explosions--all of them part of challenging study in the realm of physical sciewces. What fun it has been to try to discover just what it is that makes things go! How much it has added to our wonder at and admiration of this unfathomable universe God has entrusted to the care and use of mankind! On Keing alrty If you are a person with a flair for art,may we recommend to you our colorful Art Department. who knows what latent talents may be drawn out of budding artists in an atmosphere geared to that end? A glance through the files should con- vince the one who looks there that hours of in- tensive work are spent in this room. Making pottery attracts some of the art stu- dents who have molded lovely ash trays, plates, plaques and figurines. Our warm-hearted kiln leads a full life! A Learning to express themselves through the different media of art, our young artists have made lovely posters, water colors, and colored pencil and charcoal drawings. Senior art stu- dents specialized in seafood menus, wall-paper design, and an Alice in Wonderland record album portfolio. We hope that from among the art stu- dents of Holy Names there may come, someday, an artist of renown. s 4? Ccfzoed Officer-A Judy Crillo Barbara Caldwell Pub. Mgr. Ass.
