363 L Q11 gleam J- Ciass Eiisitory OUR years ago we entered the portals of our Alma Mater, Our Lady of Mercy Academy. What a long time ago! But still, it seems like yesterday that we entered that building, uncertain, shy, and wide- eyed. What a. change has come over the girls who came with their best gingham dresses! We were the last class to enter Our Lady of Mercy Academy, wherei We spent our happy Freshman year. From the first we endeavored to show class spirit and loyalty. Glenore Dugan joined the orches- tra and always gave her services at a pro- gram. We gave a Latin playlette in which Louise Kurtz, Veronica Worner, Alice Kriege, Bertha Just, Margaret Shields, and Lorraine Ilorsch took part. We started to climb the ladder of recognition by going over the top with the Fish Pond. Soon June came around, and we enjoyed two months' vacation. And oh! what a grand and glorious feeling when we came as Sophomores, with our navy blue uni- forms, to our new school in September, 1925. llow filled with awe we were, almost as strange as the- Freshmen in our new sur- roundings, how delighted when we saw the beautiful floors and corridors, the well- equipped library, gymnas'ium, and cafeteria. We continued the work of the well-known Agnetian Club, whose object was to become better versed in the study of the short story. Our programs were very interesting because of their originality. The officers of the Club were: President, Bertha Just, Vice- President, Viola Stammg Secretary, Evelyn Bcckerg and Treasurer, Glenoro Dugan. Gymnasium was introduced and basketball took the school by storm. We wanted a school team that could play inter-scholastic games, and, due to the hard practice of the girls and the coaching of Miss Brock, we were granted our request. We again made a success of our part in the bazaar, the country store. On the first night of our retreat, our bee loved teacher and friend, Sister Mary Bor- romco, was suddenly called to her eternal reward. Our retreat exercises and the solem- nities of Holy Week helped us to bear this trial, aml Eastcr's message encouraged us to pick up our school work and activities again. Surely this sacred season will ever remind us of her and inspire us to live so that her pl'lly0l'S for us shall not be in vain. The next year we came back as Juniors. VVe elected Mary Ilarvey class president. Dra- matic A1't was introduced and several of the girls took up this stndyg a number of them have shown their ability in plays and programs. A school basketball team was organized which contained several Juniors. We won many games and were defeated in some, but that did not dishearten us. We intended to be fair winners and good losers. Summer vacation brought us an opportunity for serviceg we gladly gave our assistance in the work of organizing Mercy High School Library. As Seniors, despite all our dignity, we were the same class of three years ago- ready and willing to do anything for the benefit of our school. .VVork on the Gleam was started very early in the year and the rest of the student body were called upon to contribute to the annual. The following were elected class officers: President, Alice Mietusg Secretary, Louise Kurtz, and Treas- urer, Mary Harvey. Veronica Werner, Cecilia. Uhoinski, Ilelen Jack, and Gertrude Kozou- rek starred in the first play of the year. In the Christmas play Evelyn Becker was given a. wonderful part-that of being the Blessed Virgin Mary. So our life as high school students comes to tlll end, but our loyalty will remain. We hope to keep up our school spirit through alumnac activities and to let our whole lives show forth the ideals of Mercy lligh School. Let us remember this verse of Browning's: 't0nc who never turned back, but marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, tho' rights were uwrstczl, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are bcbfflcd to fight better, sleep to wake. Let us live so that when our last history is written this can truthfully be said of each. -MARY HARVEY, M.xx1r: Srsiriersz. Page Thirteen
