Presentation' It was a big mysterious word to the incoming ever coping with changing of classes and with the mad rush In the locker room after school became second nature They were kept busy slavlng over plus and minus ID algebra and they found Latin verb conlugations simply Greek Brought into the student body on Freshman Reception Day they were given the parakeet as a symbol and green and white as their class colors. Supporting everything the upperclassmen spon- sored made up most of their activities for the rest of the year. As June rolled around though the Parakeets had become old pros at high school life and without actually knowing it they had taken their first step toward growing up. Their first year had taught them the importance of co-operation and team work. They were now anxious to see what their sopho- K.. g if the Pa ra keets ll s I ,Q 67 1 lj 1 l freshmen, Class of l95P. As the school weeks sped by, how- X . ' . K , I a . I. - S X , X X K -- ' ' x X more year held in store for them. Glad to cast aside the title, little freshmen, and be rec- ogniied as the know-it-all sophs, the Parakeets eagerly rushed into shouting cheers at basketball games, dissecting frogs in biology and struggling with pentagons in geometry. The annual White Elephant Day was helped to success by the sophomores' plan for a mystery cave. All these activities and studies were part of the second stage which led to maturity. This year the sophs spent most of their time growing-up. Proud to be iuniors, the class of '59 became more unified as they made preparations for school activities. Learning new symbols in chemistry and mastering drills for typing, rehears- ing for the Junior Show, and preparing for the iunior dance . . . these were highlights of the Parakeets' busy year. At- tending games and cheering class teams to success make up points for the Pep Club. lt was through this Pep Club that the fire of class spirit was enkindled, a goal toward which the class of '59 had been working for two years. The idea of be- coming seniors was dominant in the minds of the eager iuniors as the year come to an end. Members of the class of '59 look back on many happy ex- periences in their high school life, but their fondest memories are those of the senior year. Since 1958 was the year of the fire, the Parakeets prepared for Senior-Freshmen Day at the Saint Agnes Gym and had their class meetings in their section rooms until the little Theater was completed. They'll never forget the rehearsals that produced that very successful Senior Jinx, the senior picnic and preparations and plans for the Senior Exclusive. Learning about the human body in physi- ology, and how to defend Catholic religion in ,apologetics added to their busy year. Unity was the predominant factor in their last year for at last they worked together as a class. The climax of the year will come on graduation day as they walk slowly up the aisle of Saint Mary's Cathedral to receive the long-awaited diploma. Standing there in cap and gown, their faces to the future, they will realize that the door of high school life has closed behind them. Before them is a world in which they must live as the Christian women for which their training has prepared them. May they always hold true the lessons taught them and remember Noblesse Oblige . . . nobility obliges.
