A YEAR OF FEARS AND THRILLS School life at Nazareth Academy resembles nothing so much as the life of a young flyer in training. As every airman new in service exper- iences strange and harrowing encounters, our freshman year at Nazareth, too, was one of fears and thrills. Our chief fear at first was getting lost, not in the clouds, but in the maze of corridors at Naz- areth. At times we felt like the hero in the Lady or the Tiger when we were about to open a door, for we never knew what we should find on the other side-a group of smiling sen- iors amused at our embarrassment, or, oh, joy! an empty seat surrounded by familiar faces, all welcoming us. Then there was that fear of run- ning out of gas. We were sure our tanks were filled when we entered those quarterly exams, but The Mystery of Sound there must have been a leak somewhere, or why else in Latin did we conjugate nouns and decline verbs, why did we not remember those formulas in algebra?

A YEAR OF FEARS AND THRILLS fconfinued from page 241 there were those dawns viewed for the first time from the airfdawns that heralded our first Mis- sion Day and all the fun it brought to us to say nothing of the three hundred pieces of silver it netted for the home and foreign missionsg our Christmastide parties and baskets for the poorg our first May Day, its shrines banked high with flowers, its solemn procession about the campus, and its beautiful closing ceremony of crowning Our Lady, Queen of May. All these day-dawn- ings combined to hll our freshman year with hap- piness. june found us all the better for that year of beginnings, even though the training was a little rugged at times. Before us the sky was clearg and our plane began to level ofi' as we approached our base, joyous in the realization that we had successfully made our first fiight. f' W' f' XLLUMIN4 MQ what Q N Q5TH ACR HOMEROOM IOS Sister M.
