nitecf we Stan Ch, to be a Senior in High School 2 This thought had run through our mlnds many times dur- lng our school days, and now lt ls indeed a reality. 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.
