OUR GARDEN OK MEMORIES' OUR GARDEN OF MEMORIES PART I 1936-1937 A distant clock chimed nine times as we entered the portals of the school which was destined to provide us with so many beautiful memor- ies—memories which resembled exquisite flowers that would shed the:r fragrance at any time to those who jv'shed to recapture it. Little did we eager “Freshies” realize, as we timidly stepped into Johnstown Cath- olic High School, that our school life would be a garden of the choicest blooms of knowledge and social activities. Neither did we know that we would be led through this garden by the kindest of guides wisely telling us which flowers we should merely admire and which we should pluck and make our own. All this we were soon to learn. Scarcely had we entered our garden when we spied a huge patch of select flowers growing in the center. Full of awe we gathered a few of those abundant flowers. How strange was their scent! This one was called Latin; that one mysterious Ancient History. Here was puzzling Algebra; there, enriching English. Strangely each bloom whose aroma was a source of delight made us more intellectual. A glorious different feeling swept over us. More than ever we Fresh- men were determined to learn everything possible about them. Meanwhile our searching minds were relieved by a bit of gaiety. Following the sounds of merriment we took part in the Annual Sodality Hallowe’en Party. Soon we witnessed a hilarious production, “Noth- ing But the Truth’’, presented by the Alumni players. Later, we en- joyed them in “This Just Man” and the Seniors in “Three Strikes, You’re Out”. Soon, clearly and sweetly came our Almighty Gardener’s request: “Come and pray with Me awhile”. We willingly obeyed and found our souls made as spotlessly white as lilies by His cleansing grace. Saintly Father Delaney was our capable guide as we enjoyed our first retreat in our newly erected auditorium chapel. All too soon we saw the first phase of our exploring end. Sadlv each bid his adieu and went forth to enjoy his vacation days. But al' looked forward to returning soon.
