ACT III - 1947-1948 Rejoice in the Lord always,' again I say rejoice. We had reasons for rejoicing! We gained the title of Upperclassmen. But privileges entail responsibilities. Cognizant of this fact, we commenced our junior year studies with a more serious demeanor. Religion studies centered on the third person of the Blessed Trinity, the Holy Ghost. How fortunate that we came in contact with the Divine Spirit! With love and devotion we peti- tioned unceasingly for His Divine light and direction in our ever increasing responsibilities. Latin studies introduced to us two famous Romans, Pliny and Cicero. The former is noted for his beauty of expression, the latter for force and power of expression. English furnished us with knowledge of the development of the literature of our country from colonial times to the present. French was a new language so we began with the rudiments. It was fun trying to say, Merci beaucoup for the first time. For the students who took Polish as their elective the rich heritage of the Poles had con- tributed much to their store of knowledge. An unforgetful event of this school year lingers distinctly in our minds - The Day of the En- thronementf' Christ with His merciful and compassionate heart was proclaimed King of our hearts - King of the Academy. Trips, clubs, assemblies and friendly group meetings were happy diver- sions. The year again came to a close after final examinations. ACT IV - 1948-1949 This is the year the Lord bath made. Let us be glad and rejoice therein. The law of life is the law of growth. We too have moved up a bit. We became Seniors! The privileged title gave us new and greater responsibilities than we had in the junior year. It was our obligation to hold high the torch of good example in word and deed. This was not an easy task but we were fortunate again this school year to contemplate in our religion classes on the virtues and the powerful intercession of the Blessed Mother. She was our Patroness. She would help us to live exemplary lives. Chemistry directed our vision to the advancement of science and inspired us with feelings of solemn respect at the organic discipline in the universe. In the English class we surveyed the literature of merry old England from Anglo-Saxon to the present time. The study of French brought us in closer contact with French customs and traditions. The students of Polish studied the works of the outstanding writers of the nineteenth century. Finally, as American citizens we re- flected upon the current problems of our democracy. Beyond the classroom, social activities added much to our merriment. With the comprehensive and final examinations our life at the Academy came to a happy close. The road uphill was not an easy venture, but the higher the hill the finer the view. Today we are four years older in age and in wisdom. Our life at the Academy added to our rosary of a happy, useful life on which each bead is a year of mellowed insights, whose cross is one of unselfish love. My soul dotb magnify the Lord, And my spirit rejoices in Gad my Saviour . . .
