We were Juniors. We understood eaeh other quite well by then, so that our last year spent at Lodi was also our happiest. We lost three members of the Faculty that year: Sister M. Azelle, Sis¬ ter M. Rita, and Sister M. Leandra. The newcomers. Sister M. Simplicissima and Sister M. Deograce, soon won our favor by their ambitious and inexhaustible capacity for work and improvement. We were glad to retain some of our old teachers, who had in two years’ time become dear to us. Many “breaks” came our way, so that good times were frequent and very welcome. A visit to the Botanical Gardens was a special treat to the Biology Class -— and held trips were unforgettable experiences. Dissections proved in¬ teresting and enjoyable. We valued our frog “jackets” so highly that we wrapped one up as a gift for our English teacher. Unfortu¬ nately, Sister couldn’t see it our way, and told us to take the “horrible thing” away. No, our love of fun did not leave us in spite of apparent docility. An episode in the upper extremity of the house, at an unearthly hour, testifies to its presence. We will never forget our quest for “siusy,” (our original expression.) On Tuesday morning August 22, 1944 Reverend Mother Mary Alexis announced that a new Juniorate at Enfield, Conn., was welcoming us home. After much preparation and anticipation we left Lodi. Our last year was a tranquil one. We were deeply engrossed in our studies. Chemistry was entirely new and deeply interesting, the old faithfuls: English, Religion, Polish. French and History were also attacked with vigor. Everything was new, so we had to begin over again. Freshman days were recalled as we blushingly blundered into the wrong places. Soon, however, we became accus¬ tomed to our new environment and settled down to a busy, happy year. Frequent plays called upon our dramatic abilities. The guidance of our dear Mother Directress and the Faculty prepared us for the realization of our aspirations — our entrance into Noviti¬ ate. With our goal in full view, we endeavored to follow their wise counsel. Now, as Graduation Day comes upon us, we cast one more backward glance at bygone days, and bid a fond farewell to our ALMA MATER. s
