04 Serena e of ISOILQJ and Salufaiionaj Precious pages in the last volume of high school days dissolve quickly into memories. Heart-swelling pride fills the Class of 1948 as it makes its initial appearance on Installa- tion Day, ribbons 'n' all, and sees the leaders it has chosen officially established. As the student body gazes with admiration and a wee bit of envy, each heart repeats the pledge of service, loyalty, and devotion. Seriousness is mixed with plain fun as the days of pinatores and pigtails return. The Kiddie Party in the gym finds the worldly-wise sen- iors in there playing ring-around-the-rosy and loving every moment of it. All too soon the day of reckoning arrives+Senior Class Day. There's the tear-stained rose for Mom and the Juniors' acceptance of the Daisy Chain of leadership as the old hands reluctantly watch the last petal fall from their daisy to be pressed fondly with the rest of the joys their attendance at The Immaculata has brought. tt Page Eighty seven

Telling narratives in the language, one of the important activities of the senior French club, is popular among mem- bers. Official business and unique projects keep modern language enthusiasts tres heureuses. Al- though they keep in touch with the changing trends of modern science, test-tube-troupers make their c7ub an important part of their social life as well. As evidence of this fact, making cosmetics takes first place on the activity rate-and-date-book of its members.

For those girls on whom were bestowed promising voices or ar- tistic hands, the fourth floor studios may hold the key to a future in Fine Arts. Frequently, the other students share the fruits of the Art department's colorful bulletin displays in the halls of the school. That ability sometimes is rewarded even while training for a career is evidenced by the awards merited by the de- signs of some of the students. Mechanical drawing technique, a phase of art which attracts many, is seconded only by fashion designing which interests not a few who pass the portals of the paint and brush room. A world without music would be a sad world indeed. Erasing all chance of an aria-less earth, the music students practice their scales with vibrant effort.
