Spirit of Enthusiasm Intensifies Class Unity Juniors Receive Class Rings and Join Upperclassmen with Honest Pride Receiving a class ring is one of tine highlights of junior yean at Notre Dame. On Friday, December 21, 1 981 ,112 juniors proudly accepted their ' rings. A strong bond between Notre Dame and each girl was formed with the acceptance of these rings. Every girl took a pledge to wear her ring with pride and to uphold all Notre Dame ' s beliefs. The title of uppenciassnnen was bestowed upon the juniors at this time. Being referred to as an upper- classman seenned to be special, as was projected by the cards and announce- ments the juniors received on that special day. Throughout the celebration, the theme God Is Love, was expressed. A Mass, offered by Father Ronald Olszewski, preceeded the actual cere- mony. The readings were selected by a special committee. This group also chose the petitions and the music for the liturgy. As each girl ' s name was called, the excitement and tension built. Sister Mary Louise Ann, Provincial Superior of the Sisters of Notre Dame pre- sented the class rings with the aid of Sister Many Patricia and Sister Many Carol. Page aS. 1 .
