The junior becomes more aware of the world around him. He sees that there is, indeed, a greedy world out there, waiting to ab- sorb him into its cold complexi- ties. He learns of the past. He learns why and how his Ameri- can government is run and why the Civil War was fought. The junior learns to examine exalted deeds and heroes with merciless questioning. The junior learns to make the other man back up his statements. Test tube and slide rule provide the weapons of his ofifensive. Interpretation of liter- ature and the stern demands of clear exposition temper his strat- egy. The junior finds that the Church of his ancestors is not perfect. It is not perfect, he learns, because it is composed of imperfect men. But this does not disillusion the junior. This know- ledge makes him aware of him- self, his own faults, and those of the world around him. He begins to understand and to grasp. Reality, still refracted through the prism, takes on a different light. The junior is formed, ready to go to the an- nealing process of the senior year. Donna Moseh, Bailey Bowers and Barbara Augustine pause for idle chatter after lunch. Ronald Limoncelli, Carol Coveney, William Knott and Frances Shon hand in their finished projects to Sr. M. Ueclan. Ann Kennedy is outnumbered b Richard Clark, Anthony Morrow, Robert McCarthy, Michael Donovan, James Carmody, Gary Richmond and James Giordano as they discuss the MmyU-aj ' s Bo s ' Views on Girls. 45

Maiy Ellen Palmeter, Rose Marie Schicfen (seated), Cynthia Ford, Oorolhy Goff, Lucy Esposito, Patricia Cloke and Beth Wilson (standing) scrutinize a scroll of figures in Bookkeeping, Mary Lou Spalli ne, Michele New, Marie Read (first row), Arlene Daddona, Laura Pesesk ' , Sharon Stroup (second row), Joanne Boscaino, Anne Kronier, Mar- jorie Rauber (third row), and Mary Hewitt (fourth row), are interrupted in their study of Religion JI with Sr. M. Leo. Out of bewilderment into obscurity. Another step in education and an- other in life. A step up to gradua- tion — a step down from the spot- light. Thus walks the sophomore. He walks out of the novelty, the confusion, the wonder of his first year in high school into the estab- lished, the familiar, the initiated second year high. He is a bit dis- illusioned at his status — still at the foot of the path. He is disillusioned that high school means very solid work, very menial drudgery, very little tinsel. He makes up for this with school spirit. He joins clubs. He rolls bandages. He wears a Notre Dame jacket. He is a full-fledged high-schooler. 47
