We Freshmen How excited we were on that first day of school! ln every corner of the campus we met new teachers and so many girls-all of whom we hoped to make our friends. lt took both faculty and students- yes, and perhaps HlVlother Experiencen -to tell us that S.A.H. was not a teacher's name, and that Urban Hall was not just another classroom. Sister Mary Mildred, our moderator, did her utmost to adjust us to the complications of college life. As soon as we had learned our way about the campus, we began to probe the secrets of the amoeba and its own little way of moving about. Then the difference between univocal and equivocal came to our attention as we set out to explore the science of logic. Pages of English, history, art, math, and music began to unfold before us that first week of our college career. But studies alone couldn't make us true members of the student body. We were yet to be tried - the fatal day of initiation came at last! There we were, every last one of us, looking like some- thing from a pink elephantis dream. With our numerous pigtails, painted faces, starched dresses worn backwards. and contrasting shoes and stockings, we certainly made a ridiculous picture. But this wasn't all, in the evening we returned to entertain the faculty and student body with anecdotes from the lives of favorite comic strip characters. What a gay time we had! But memories must remain memories . . . thank you, sophomores, for a delightful initiation! Soon after this we set about to elect our class officers: Dolores Mescher, presidentg Carol Was- serman, vice-presidentg Patricia Fournier, secretaryg and Bernadine Loeffler, treasurer. As full-fledged freshmen, we went right to work on Student Relief. Determined to help suffer- ing European students, we did our best to make this campaign a success. Our own Darlene Fogle, who is credited with seventy-three books, helped to boost Mary Manse to first place in the Region. At Christmastime all cooperated with the upperclassmen to undertake a corporal work of mercy. We brought canned fruits and vegetables, cereals, dried fruits, cheeses, and candies for the needy families of Toledo. The biggest freshmen activities were still to come. Our freshmen party held after Easter was just one grand circus , There were spectacular side-shows and barkers, pop-corn balls and peanuts, ice-cream and pop. We had fun planning our circus and decorating the hall, but most of all we enjoyed entertaining the faculty and the upperclassmen. The llasl notable activity was the freshmen picnic held at Walbridge Park. The school year thus came to a close, and with our minds full of dreams of blue skies, crystal lakes, and long hours in the sun, we said farewell to our dear Alma Mater. We were almost left out-Lucy Ferrara, Isa- belle Liao, Marcia Toth, Martha Egan, Elena Carreras, Barbara Sarnac, and Virginia Wang. 55
