Class History FRESHMAN YEAR On September 8, 1957 a hand of Freshmen entered the portals of Trinity tligh for the first time. Gur chief experience was the horror of initiation. This was over- come hy our exhiieration in playing on the intramural haskethali teams. Among the outstanding events were First Fridays, Assemhiies, and solving a prohiem in Algebra. At last the year ended and we looked forward to the next with increas- ing ambition. SOPHCMORE YEAR Our first affair as Sophomores was initiating the Freshmen on Halloween. During the year we followed Caesar through Gaul, hisected angles, learned a little more than just uS'iI vous plaitu and Merci heaucoupu, and agreed with Silas Marner that Ha little child shall lead them. Soon we had our June examinations and looked forward to Juniordom. JUNIOR YEAR Now we are on the main floor. For the first time our class is divided: some trotting into the commercial room for typing and shorthand while the others re- mained in the class helping Cicero against Catiiine. And wasn,t this the year for our class rings? We polished off the year hy enjoying the Prom and Class Night and a few days later the Junior-Senior outing which we had looked forward to for two years. The closing of the Junior year found us prepared to enter the Senior Class. SENIOR CLASS At last we are Seniors! The gradual rise has been a slow hut a profitaioie one We are on the last lap of our journey: the inevitable day of graduation drawing nearer and nearer. Now we come to the realization of what Trinity has given us,-not only in scholastic privileges hut also in the strong friendships and the clean sportsmanship attained within its walls. No more than this can he said of any school. f-BERNICE TRAYNOR 41
