LaDONNA SAUBER-':Do you have your ping-pong practiees?'i Do you have your quarter for cutting the assembly? These are questions by which we all recognize LaDonna, ping-pong manager, and Student Council treasurer. GRACE SCHROEDER-No musical program at Mary Manse would be complete without a song from Grace. And life for the boarders has become even more complete since they discovered Grace's ability to pop such wonderful corn. SUE SERKE had to buy a flashlight for her purse, and now she's looking for a spotlight for her locker. Maybe she should talk to her locker partner about the matter. JANET SHEPHERD-The east of the mid-year play is all for having Janet give more cast', parties, as that is just another one of the numerous things made successful by .lanet's capable management. VIRGINIA SOHNLY-This i'eharaeter actress-Mrs. Bennett of Pride and Prejudice fame-takes her role as manager of her fnther's home and as member of the junior class with equal skill. PATRICIA S'l ALDER-We wonder whether Pat's formula for accomplishing so many things-from knit- ting to managing the patron drive-has been patented, or whether she will share it with the rest ol us. RUTH PALMER--Pleasing voice, pleasing manner, and pleasing personality-these are qualities which endear Ruth to all who know her. LAETITIA PARKER-Have you ever wondered why streetcars go so slowly past Mary Manse? Theyire being careful and watching for Tish. The last time a streetcar was hit by her, it was damaged beyond re- pair. Are Toledo tax-payers paying you, Tish??? MILDRED REICHERT-This comely Miss is not only a dead-eye on the basketball floor but is also the lively spark and wit in any class or school gathering. PATRICIA ROLLER-In spite of her loyalty to the junior class, there was a time when Patty was think- ing of severing relations with her classmates-just be- cause they wouldn't come to her New Year's uhot-dog party, using the flimsy excuse that there were six inches of ice covering Toledo-and suburbs. MIRIAM SACKSTEDER-Though she claims Toledo and the i'penthouse'i in Mount Carmel as her home for eight months, Tillin is still the place where rests Miriam's heart. HILDEGARD SAILER-St. Scholastica's loss was M-ary Manseis gain. In fact, Hilda's popularity made her an ollicer of the Student Council after having only been with us for one year. The following were absent when the pictures were taken: MARCIA TOTH-Quiet, unassuming, but a real friend, Mareia's ability to braid hair has kept many a junior from being hot under the collar. VIRGINIA WOLF'S friendly spirit is reflected in her eager smile and quick wink. She is always ready to give her assistance to all, even though she is carrying a heavy schedule.

MARGARET AFFOLTFIR might well be called Professor, for it is rare to see a report card bearing her name which does not display almost all A's. RACHEL BRELL- Are you going past the Times Building? -Rae would probably say yes, for as a member of the school publicity committee, it is her duty to sec that Mary Manse gets notice in the news- papers. ANNA. CA.lKA, though a Mary Manser for only one year, has already established herself with the .lunior Class, and of all people, with ,Doctor Lyons. PATRICIA CARSTENSEN-Ivherever you find activ- ity, you find Patty right in the middle of it. She's a tiny miss capable of accomplishing great things-cs- pecially in the line of music. KATHRYN ANN CULLEN-No, Katie isn't trying to get her B.A. and Ph.D. all in four years of college. Her pleas to be allowed to carry twenty-four hours are due to an interest in having more teaching fields than possible. DIANA DIETRICH Well Diana has finftll been - , L ., . y ,. convinced that there's no place like the big city. After living in towns like Maumee and Perrysburg, she has finally moved to the metropolis-Toledo. CAROL GRAFF-Can any of the Chemistry majors get life insurance? Rumor has it they can't. At least, not while working in the same lab with Carol. MARILYN GULKER-She's artist and actress. But she wears a diamond ring. Well, at least the next generation will know of the finer things in life. KATHLEEN HELTEBRAKE-Although scientifically inclined, Katie can best be imagined mothering a brood of '5little scientists. Her gentle domestic qualities make her well suited to reign as queen in her own home. MARY MCGUIRES ability to get along with people has already been recognized by the juniors-her new classmates. And this same ability should make her outstanding in her Held of endeavor-social work. DOLORES MCMANUS, better known as ,limmy and very well known for her spirit of cooperation. If there's a job to be done, you can always count on .Iimmy to do it-and do it well. MARIE THERESE MACKIN-I-Ier infectious giggle indicates a happy disposition. Her only sorrow in life -her Irish ancestry. You have our sympathy, Flash! MARGARET MARY MORAN, another junior made miserable by a stroke of fate. But Margaret Mary drowns her sorrow, caused by being of Irish descent, in hard work and real school spirit. VERA MORRISON-It was a rare day in 101 OL., for there, with still a minute before bell time, stood Vera, on time for her morning class. Must have been extra speedy bus service. PATRICIA NOWICKI, the practical joker of the class, will never run out of liendish ideas as long as she continues to get free passes to the Granada Theatre.

We Juniors House lights dimmed and the curtain was raised, to unfold the annual two act production of the junior class, on September 22, 19417. Director, Sister John Berchmans took her stand to guide the cast through its biggest show to date. Leads in the play were taken by Pat Carstensen, president, Patty Roller, vice-presidentg Pat Stalder, secretary, and Peggy Aifolter, treasurer. Interest was aroused by the very first scene of act one. The entire cast took part in the Junior Tea, where all the activities and organizations of Mary Manse were presented, by means of verse written by the class, as information to the new students, and as entertainment to the old. No roduction of this water-minded class would be com Jlete without a tri to the lake. In P I P October we iacked ui and 'ourne ed to Janet She iherdis cottage at Lakewood. Were we disar- l I J Y l an l pointed! The only water we saw was in icicles! We nearly froze to death. But we did that in our usual manner - cheerfully. The most intensely-dramatic scene was Founderis Day. Traditionally, the juniors rolled up their sleeves and went to work making big preparations for this important school activity. Hard laborers transformed Urban Hall, better known as the gymn, into a beautiful banquet hall. Marie Therese Mackin worked extra hard-result: her speech, entitled The Call to Heroic Lay Actionn was one of the outstanding talks of the year. All the work was well repayed when our Director encouragingly said, 44Well done, girls. One of the most enjoyable acts was the nLittle Christmasl' party at Pat Carstensenis house. Her role as hostess was handled with ease and grace. But the work of the one-woman stage crew- Pat's mother-was amazing. And the big Carslensen house was bursting with the junior party spirit. Act two opened with a play within a play. 'GPride and Prejudice was staged on the boards of Ursuline Auditorium with the marquee flashing such names as Virginia Sohnly, Marilyn Gulker, Ruth Palmer, Pat Carstensen, Mary McGuire, Janet Shepherd, and Diana Dietrich. The Divine Juniors!!! Not much later other juniors stood before an audience. lt was Book Night and Margaret Mary Moran, Katie Cullen, Pat Carstensen. Peggy Affolter, and Sue Serke had a chance to report on works of fiction, biography, and current events. The first scene of act two ended with thrills and excitement-the basketball games! Juniors cheered while their class team competed for the school championship. Flash! F-We won. Then came the final scene. With quick-heating hearts and tear-filled eyes, the juniors said farewell to the seniors, at the Junior-Senior Banquet. And at last the grand finale-the Prom with dreamy music and the sweet aromas of springtime. Then when the curtain went down and the house lights went on, we, the juniors, could truthfully agree with the audience that all the world is but a stage where every junior had played her part, and played it well. 46
