Class History We who wear the Mercy Crest rings of '45, reluctant to part from our cherished high- school days. refrain from saying good-hye without one last look over the events which marked these past four happy years. September, l941ffifty newcomers to the Mountl Wie were enjoying the thrill of being freshmen, green, yes, but doing our Mgreenestv best in all activities. Took first place as bazaar chance sellers and operated our cake booth with a deep sense of pride. December 3 marked a big day in our lives as we became full-fledged Sodalistsl Then, too, we had parties on special days in the cafeteria, but our frrst May Day celebration and luncheon topped them alll Before we knew it, we were green li'l freshies no longer. After a refreshing summer we came back again feeling sure and confident of the coni- ing sophomore year. Though we took part in the same activities as last year, we felt much wiser and manifested a deep sense of patriotism, putting your every effort into buy- ing war bonds and stamps. We ended the year with this thought still in mind. for wc presented the school with a war bond. Fall of 1943, and we registered as juniors -we were upperclassmen! We began writing for The Mount and really got a thrill when five of us made the Press Club. Due to food rationing, the annual bazaar gave way to the sale of chances, which we helped put over with a bang. Then, to our great joy, eight of us were admitted into the National Honor So- ciety and several more were named proba- tioners. Our big undertaking of the year was the farewell picnic given for the seniors at Lakeside Country Club. Another summer passed and we found that we had actually reached our last and most important year-we were dignihed seniors! ln connection with the annual bazaar, live members of the class were featured in a Queen's contest and honored with a ball. Six of us were initiated into Quill and Scroll and nine more seniors were elected to the National Honor Society. Our anxiously - waited -for mother-of-pearl class rings arrived during three-day retreat. Mary Birnbach won the senior baby pin-up contest which was held to help finance our grand Senior Ball, given April 6. Following in close succession were the operetta L4Martha, the Alumnae Ban- quet,,Class Day, Baccalaureate Sunday, the Junior-Senior picnic. and lastly-Graduation. Yes, the day 'finally arrived which had al- ways seemed so far in the future. The night came when we had to sy good-bye forever to our school days at the Mount, to all the familiar surroundings that seemed to he so much a part of us. Yet, we do not really say good-bye, for we will always cherishlin our minds the memory of our dear Alma Materfand now, with tearful eye and sad- dened but thankful heart, the Class of '45 says-Farewell, St. Maryls. -E.
