2, What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming through the jungle? S4 . Here come the juniors. Sophomore Greek Play ... Well, actually, this last line wasn't spoken by Tarzan at all—it can more probably be attributed to Sr. Mary Venard; for our high school this year is not composed of four classes, but three classes and one herd. Everywhere you look there are bulletin boards reminding you of how you can tell if there's been an elephant in your refrigerator recently (you can see his footprints in the Jello), or why elephants wear purple tennis shoes (figure that one out!)? But what can we do? They're OUR juniors, we haf goMo luff them! ©ut elephants or no elephants, our Be Alive theme this quarter seems ready-made for the junior class. From behind closed homeroom doors every morning, they spring for- ward, overflowing with spirit and life, eager to show' the world that they'll never be replaced by a button.' Quite often their enthusiasm bursts forth in song, and they sere- nade the seniors across the hall. And even in naming their basketball team the Rattfinks, they show some of the fun-loving nature which they so abundantly possess. And it's a genuine spirit, full of warmth and vitality, that urges them on and on toward each goal. Their Hallow- een party as sophs was matchless in hilarity as the Old Woman in the Shoe and her ninety-some-odd children romped through Mother Goose Land with a real live goose. But they are not limited to expressing themselves with humor alone. Freshman year, pale blue puffs of angel hair and frosted stars, the product of so many torn fingers, re- flected the spirit with which they had been planned and made, and that Christmas Breakfast was an experience in love itself. yn many ways the juniors exemplify the over-all spirit of Loretto. Warmth, generosity, dedication, and humor are probably the most accurate qualities to use in describing them as a class, and also in describing particular people (as designated on the following pages), for a class is only as good as its members, and the members of the junior class are pretty terrific. It’s hard to realize that their pres- ence here is only a short experience in each of their lives; but they will take with them a great part of that spirit which is Loretto, and they will leave a great part of them- selves here. Because right now, they are Loretto, they are Loretto in everything they do and say, in everything they have and give. And we will remember them. We will remember their lusty serenading, their fun and their humor, their loving spirit. And when we remember them, we will best remember Loretto. Frosh-Junior Get T oget her . Spring Recital...

 Ann Lillis . . . W henever you think about her you have to smile.” has been said of Ann Lillis that whenever you think about her you have to smile. Not that Ann is the type that provokes laughter, but because she's always smiling herself. Perhaps Ann's most evident quality is her generosity. No matter what the project, from planning a car wash to working at the Little Sisters of the Poor, Ann is always willing to help and to give herself entirely. But she is the kind of quiet worker that does the small things, the things that go unnoticed. Few people know that this summer, when the Sisters were in retreat, Ann was among those who came up to school everyday and ran the switchboard. She spent the rest of the summer helping to get the bul- letin boards ready for the beginning of school and assisting in the organization of various school projects. She takes a personal interest in the shy, unknown girls in her class, and is always thinking of new ways to draw them out. This is the way Ann works, swiftly and quietly,and all too often unappreciated. perhaps the greatest compliment that can be paid Ann Lillis is to say that she is selfless. Of course, Ann wouldn't agree. Tnn is such an exuberant person that when she speaks, she often gestures with her hands, as if to employ every available means of expressing herself. Her enthusiasm is unlimited. In fact, by just being with her, some of this exuberance is bound to rub off. Because she loves to write, this year Ann became a member of the Press Club, and her first article, a feature on Sr. Andre and the Snack Shop, appears on page 12 of this issue. Ann also enjoys swimming and horse-back riding, but there's hardly anything she doesn't like to do. Her one complaint is that there's just not enough time to do every- thing. Nevertheless, she does a good job of making things fit. Right now. Sodality is one of the most important things in Ann's life. She joined just out of curiosity, but Sodality has gradually become another field for her inobtrusive dis- play of great generosity. or Ann Lillis, generosity is being and whatever she de- cides to do will be done as only Ann can do it. Sherry Ralston . . . Indescribably great and good luck to anyone who tries to put her greatness into words. U anirf, 4 tall, soft-eyed junior who cavorts through the halls of LA, creating general bedlam while masterminding such stunts as removing all the screws of a senior's locker door so that it will fall off as soon as the owner attempts to open it: this is Sherry Ralston. She's the type who'd call the zoo and ask to borrow an elephant because she thought we needed one for some pictures for the laurelette. (What would she have done if they'd said yes ) Or just ask her What really happened to Baby Jane?” and she'll tell you to put Odd” in your washing machine and find out. But wit, humor, and an undauntable spirit are just a few of the characteristics that have catapulted Sherry to the fore- ground of LA's student body. the laurelette
