EMORIES irmly established, the Class of '59 an the academically dangerous sopho- re year. We learned, for instance, that isosceles triangle has three sides-the e as any other triangle. We also rned how to accept the highest mark lass with true humility lunfortunately, s knowledge went to wastel. Yet, nks to many rosaries and a good deal cramming, most of us squeezed by the demic guillotine. Some did exception- well, and again we were represented the honor lists and the newly formed ian Chapter of the National Honor iety in great numbers. ln Winter our thoughts turned from a her uneventful season in Jay Vee foot- ll to such things as our fabulous Junior rsity basketball team who were the first sense the efficiency of a certain scien- t named Brother Finch, The Soph Hop med on the horizon. Rumors were fly- , and soon committees evolved and kets were sold. The night itself came, d the walls were bedecked with painted anches and colored cut-outs. The phomores were now begrudgingly ad- itted to all social functions, and they pported them en masse.

Th petit gros frere waltzed across the stag only long enough to tell us that he didn' speak to juniors, and that he was tryin to put out a yearbook, so don't look a the camera. In sports we were represented by first stringers on every major varsity sport: Ja Cassen and Jack Hildebrand in football Pete Cella in basketballg Bill Sheridan i baseball and Joe Colaneri in swimmin Debating and Oratory was completel manned by juniors, and they brough many laurels to the school, including thei second straight victory in the ICB Foren sic League. The Science Club could boas that at least half its errors were made b juniors. Glee Club, despite a few losses still was supported mainly by juniors Even such sacred senior activities as news paper and yearbook had junior represen tation.

An unforgettable er was terminated, an era filled with ne faces, new ideas, and a more mature out look on life. For all of this, the fifth da of June, nineteen hundred and fifty-nin was an appropriate and dramatic climax
