761717 days fiafb fepfembez. September 3 and 4: Registration takes place. Students come from everywhere and San Antonio to sign on the dotted line. Sister Teresa Ioseph and Sister Mary Iulia meet Diana Piedraiita at the city's Municipal Airport. Diana comes from Venezuela and is about to begin her third year here. Excitement attends the opening of school. The girls are glad to meet old girls again and to greet new ones. This is a time of decision: a time of arranging and rearranging schedules to meet individual needs. lt's business time. Gwen Hartfield purchases her books and supplies at the school bookshop from Priscilla Bitters, sopho- more. lt is difficult to ease into routine at first. The mind tends to wander on slightest provocation. Students are reluctant to bid farewell to better days and times. Benny, school bus driver and general factotum. puts electric clocks right, and suddenly the printed page is without charm. Later there will be only the clock to watch - and the books of course. September 9: The Holy Ghost set things right on the first Pentecost. He does the same in our times. Most Catholic schools start the year off with Mass of the Holy Ghost to implore divine assistance in scholastic work. On occasions when entire student body attends, Mass is said in the gym. Otherwise Mass is regularly said in the school chapel. Left: Fr. Stuebben distributes Communion to students. September 27: This marks the date when the drive for funds for the school yearbook begins. Throughout the month the P. A. system buzzes with the morning news - Sophs lead today... Freshmen coming along nicely... Iuniors tie with Seniors for first place...Seniors win a tree day !

am' sfadenfs flare are ffzamtfzff hr af! Marr fbbfuaffesf October 4: To say the very least about Ring Day, it is a dreadfully exciting one in the lives of our Seniors. Sentiment is the order of the day and grown little girls love to have a good cry . It's their last year together and teachers and those who aren't seniors try their level best to understand the whole thing. Here Iodie Leonard receives her ring from Sr. Mary. Iodie has been with the Incarnate Word Sisters since first grade. October 9 and 10: The school photographer comes to take the yearbook pictures. He makes sure we're wearing uniform blouses and green bow tie. Students are on this occasion encour- aged to smile.Later the ordinary garden variety of school day expression is resumed as students return to classes. November 10: The melancholy days are here... But IWHS brightens them up considerably by scheduling Open House Day at this time. Par- ents and friends of students come from all over to admire daughter's schoolwork and to confer with the teachers about this and that. This year it poured rain all day but weather conditions dampened no one's spirits. The place was packed. November 21: Bishop Leven breaks ground for a new student chapel. lt rains again and what a rain! But the Freshmen Choralers enjoy Singing in the Rain as the droplets beat out a tune on umbrella tops. The new chapel, under construc- tion after New Year's will be dedicated before the opening of the school year in September. November 22: The Senior Class and Student Council sponsor the second school dance of the year-The Harvest Serenade. A local orchestra. The Sl-rylarks proves to have been a wonderful choice. Serenade is something to remember.
