We Sophomores What a thrill it is to begin a new year with the realization that you are no longer a timid fresh- man, but a mighty sophomore! We demonstrated our prowess in our first activity of the year. Freshman Initiation. As our work neared completion, Urban Hall became the scene of a childis imagination. On the evening which culminated that eventful day during which the freshmen appeared on campus as horrible creatures with blue freckles, ill-fitting clothes and three pairs of earrings, the well-known comic-strip characters came to life, talently portrayed by the freshmen, who proved them- selves to be the wonderful sports we knew they were. Mary Ellen Nagle represented our class as one of the speakers on l7our1der's Day. Her subject was c'One Clear Voice in a World of Chaos in which she unfolded the activities of the Church and Her members in combating the pagan influences of today. Our pre-Christmas party was held in Brescia Hall, A gift exchange. a radio skit and refresh- ments, coupled with spirited fun was an excellent way of getting into the holiday mood. Before the holidays Stcffne Czik left us to become a postulant in the Ursuline Order, and after Christmas Mary Jean Coressel returned to her classes as a Notre Dame postulant. May the sincerest good wishes and prayers from the entire class attend you in your life's work. Rose Marie Cassidy, Mary Lou Burkett, Claramae Linenkugel, Elizabeth McNerney, Winnie Geis and Rosemary McLaughlin were our representatives in the school play, uljride and Prejudicew. We are justly proud of them, and are looking forward to seeing their talent displayed again in the next two years. Many of our class members also took their places behind stage and shall not be forgotten when speaking of the playis success. To our dismay and amazement we realized that exams were suddenly upon us and after ten days of feverish study the second semester began. As Ash Wednesday grew near we welcomed the thought of our annual Retreat, which gives us that desired time for meditation and readings which we regrettably fail to find in our daily schedule, and an opportunity to begin Lent in the proper spirit. After the Easter holidays we held a raffle for the whole student body for the benefit of the missions. There were prizes for tl1e winners and plenty of enjoyment for everyone. Overhearing plans for the .lunior-Senior banquet, graduation, and the Freshman picnic, brought us the realization that another year was nearing its end. Final exams passed hurriedly by, leaving us with the almost unbelievable fact that we were midway in our college life. Many thanks go to our class officers, Ella Mae Cerdeman, presidentg Winifred Ceis, Vice- presidentg Mary' Stalder, secretary, and Beryl Ebner, treasurer. 50
