We 'll Never, No, Never F orget September, 1944-We were freshmen and like freshmen everywhere we were looking about, a little apprehensive of what lay ahead of us. . . Initiation was our first test-two full days of it. As scrubbing women, complete with mop and bucket, we humbly responded to the Sophis orders to clean both floors and walks. That Friday night we entertained, somewhat fearfully, as characters in nursery rhymes-and such characters! . . . But the pride and joy of our first year was the gala opening of The Horse and Buggy Inn one Jan- uary evening. What a list of celebrities helped to make our evening a success! There was Lillian Russell, Jenny Lind, Beatrice Kayg Chres Nolan as John L. Sullivan, and we ' ' couldn't forget Teddy Roosevelt fMartha Foxj and his ad- monition to hllemember me in the November election. . . . How impressed we were as we experienced our first college retreat under the guidance of Father Lawless .... Some of our class distinguished themselves by taking part in the One- tA-i act play contest. There were Jeanne Gulker, Chres Nolan, Penny Sanders, and Terrie Simon . . . With Pat Heilman, Leona Pauken, and the other Maumee girls as guides we had a picnic at Side-Cut one bright May day-a sort of dress rehearsal for the picnic we gave for the whole student body on May 29 . . . And suddenly we found ourselves on the stage, as Mother Superior turned our tassels and the Upperclassmen told us that Wfhe freshmen are not freshmen anymore. September again-But before we could settle down to that famous sophomore year of hard work, we managed to take time out for a picnic at Ottawa Park and a Halloweien party at Terrie Simonis. There was the 'Tatal Apple and even Alice in Wonderland appeared with the March Hare, the Mad Hatter, and the Doremouse. Indeed, it turned out to be quite a Tea Partyi' .... In January we had a party for Martha Fox when she decided to leave college in order to enter the con- vent .... Sophomores took three top honors in the Green Quill Assembly-Shakespearian Nights -- Mary Jean Riley tied for first place, and Mary Tynan won second .... We got together again that Spring for a Spaghetti Dinner at the Tea House. Under the fine management of Martha Stedman, it proved to be a very enjoyable time. . . . On High School Day, the Sophs demonstrated their abilities, as some of them took part in the production of Did You Say Mink? Lorrie Reichert, Jeanne Culker, and the Fitz Twins played their parts well .... VVe ended a busy year with yet one more get-to-gether-a rollicking picnic at Side-Cut .... After those terrific finals in English, Psychology, Chemistry, or Physics, we considered that precious summer vacation a very necessary one. Juniors now and September of '46 . . . Jeannette Schmenck Schweickert joined our class . . . Very busy Juniors we were, working first on the Junior tea . . . Will we ever forget that picnic at Oak Openings? Ellen Adams was busy as a bee, but her efforts were not in vain. We had such a wonderful time .... Founder's Day was a special event this year as Mary Manse was celebrating its silver anniversary .... The gym looked very festive after the Juniors finished trimming it in silver and fuschia. Penny Sanders had the honor of representing the Junior class on this memorable day. . . . The spotlight then turned on the boarders, who gave a tea and open house for the school. . . . The mid-year play was Stardust and our Juniors, Terrie Simon, Mary Tynan, and Kathleen Kelley did very well .... Book night again held the interest of the entire school, and our classmates-Rose Marie Doepker, Joan Heydinger, Carolyn Kinsey, Betty Everett, Mary Tynan, Joan Della Flora, and Chresscnce Nolan-came through with flying colors, and inspired us to read the books which they reviewed .... Mary Manse was represented in the play contest held in Chicago, and although we 22
