w 1 l 1,4-f Clays Cs EMORY is a burning candle, penetrating the dark with its cheerful glow. It gives vitality to the humdrum of our lives. It radiates joy, filling the heart with its warmth, though the past be far or near. Now, let the light of memory fall upon our years at Nardin, filling us with a deep sense of nostalgia. September 1950 It was a pleasant day in the typical Indian summer weather of September. Sixty-four of us, anxious freshmen, hesitatingly approached the welcoming doors at 135 Cleveland Avenue. This was Nardin Academy which we would grow to love deeply in the next four years. When we stepped inside, we immediately felt the homey atmosphere among teachers and students. We were soon scurrying about to see where our rooms would be and who would be our teachers. We climbed to the third floor where Miss Kathryn Wirtenberger of 303 and Miss Kathleen Kolp of 304 greeted us warmly, and where we quickly made friends. We soon discovered that three of our fellow students had gone to Nardin in the grades. Olivia Endres boasted of being a Nardin girl from first gradeg Paula Amigone arrived in fifth and Carolyn Linkner in seventh grade. September flew by and soon ominous rumors drifted our way. They all centered about that day of reckoning ---- initia- tion. One October night, the gym was transformed into a ranch, where we tenderfoots became full-fledged members of Nardin. We gave our interpretation of cowboys and rodeos, as we were put to the test. Afterwards, we realized how much we had en- joyed it and that the seniors had won our friendship completely. Our first Retreat was a welcome spiritual event that started us down the right road for our high school days. It was once said, More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of, and Father Lawless, O.M.I., our retreat master, proved it to us. - As Christmas time drew near, we found ourselves memo- rizing parts, fitting costumes and moving sets. The Freshman Class was presenting the story of the Nativity and the visit of the Magi in The Plains of Bethlehem. We'1l never forget the pleasure we had in giving that production at the Christmas As- sembly. In the following month, we studied hard for exams. We learned the meaning of b1ue books. In the meantime, we e- lected Carolyn Linkner as our first class president. Then, many of us started instruction classes in the Sodal- ity under the guidance of Lucille Biondolillo, prefect, and Ann Campagna, vice-prefect. When we were finally accepted on May 18, we promised Our Lord and His Blessed Mother that we would be true Sodalists, living according to Sodality rules. Near the end of the year, we had the novel experience of preparing for our first high school dance. That Freshman-Soph- omore Frolic was a tremendous success. 44
