Cfam attato 1y In September, 1940, twenty-six timid, shaking girls entered the doors of Mercy for the first time to become the Class of 514. 19-14 seemed centuries away, and yet it seems that only yesterday we donned baby bonnets, one black and one white stocking, and were officially initiated by our Big Sisters. We caught the mission spirit of Nlercy; our task was that of helping the little Children at Blessed Nlartin de Porres Mission in Lockland. 'We provided them with Clothes for that wonderful day when they received their Eucharistic King into their hearts for the first time. Our Garden Party, planned so carefully for our Big Sisters, had to be rearranged somewhat when i I'he Rains Came? and we had to move inside. However, with a three-piece orchestra providing the music, we danced our troubles away and sent the Seniors on their way with the memory of a wonderful time. When we returned in September for our Sophomore year we found that we had lost one of our number, but had gained four new Classmates, giving us the happy total of 29. We were, to he sure, just what our name impliedeuwise fools, but we had our serious moments. XVe worked hard for our mission in Hickman, Ken- tucky. At Christmas we sent huge boxes of clothes, stuffed animal toys, and candy filled stockings, all made in aftereschonl sessions at the sewing machine by the Class of 31-1. We won the Blission Stamp Drive and for the remainder of the year were the proud possessors of the h'lission pennantt Due to war conditions and probable delays in obtaining rings. we chose and ordered our Class Rings so that we might be sure of having them the following year. We planned a lovely picnic as a farewell tribute to the Seniors, only to be rained out,, again. But though the weather was clamp, Our spirits were not, and the picnic,, in the cafeteria was a success in spite of it all. The first event of our Junior year was the arrival of our Class Rings. XVe had just about forgotten what they looked like through the summer, but when we saw them again, they seemed more beautiful than ever. We immediately began our Mission work by re-establishing the Delta Sigma CA S. M. C. Unit at Western Hills High School. In April we sponsored a very successful play, r'Follow Thou Men .in which the Delta Sigma Crusaders tool: the leading roles. We showed our Page 8
