What an assortment of personalities! Here were smiling, chatting new girls, and, of course, the good friends of previous years. This year has been an exciting year of work and activity and we juniors, fortunately, were in everything. Hockey, basketball, dances, dramatics, concerts, assemblies, panels, parties, charities -all, plus hard work. What a tempo life has kept! Next year we shall be Graduates, noble title! How we wish we could be truly Graduates in everyway. This year has been so excellent in its preparation that we are full of hope. We are so grateful to Rev. Mother and our Class Mistress and to all the Mistresses who were a part of this lovely year. ..... GSS

:'H'T'fij Pg' ' ' I XII Class If a blue streak were observed flashing down the stairs with minutes, scripts or yearbook copy flying in its wake, there was little doubt but that it was a member of the Class of '52, Besides heading the various activities of the school we launched a few of our own. In October we sponsored the annual Halloween party and had as much fun as the audience when we outrageously lampooned Mr. Shakes- peare's Othello. In October again, we also began our social season with a dinner party given by Mrs. Giannini. Our traditional Carol Night in December brought with it our first 'last' of Ravenhill. In February our first tea dance, given by the 11th grade, whirled its way to an all-too-soon ending. Then almost before we knew it, Lent was upon us, fittingly climaxed by our retreat. Holidays - then school again, to find ourselves propelled headlong into activity as the Yearbook, Color Day, Concerts, Senior Play, Spring Dance and exams came into focus. May sped by, bringing with it solemn thoughts of Graduation, but also the happy realization that as Alumnae we will always be members of the family of the Assumption. Standing: S. Tiers M. Warren T.

Cordon: From the moment Sept. 17. tiptoed in, for fear we might escape it and Rev. Mother opened her arms to welcome us back to Ravenhill and to welcome the new girls, school life began in earnest. Per- haps it was her wish and her prayers.for a successful and happy year that have made this scholastic year such a joyous and important one. There has been a real unity between the class and its Mistress, Mother Marthe. We have played together, worked together and prayed together. The year has been packed with work and extra-curricular activities. We feel we have grown in many ways and are quite ready to take up of the 11th class in September, 1952. We hope we can live up to the enviable record the 12th class of this year has made.
