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.

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

C I a The Class of 1955 ends their year with the feeling that this year was the most important and eventful year of their school lives. From the very beginning, there existed a marvelous spirit of loyalty and co-operation among the girls of the ninth class. Our first class activity was our freshmen assembly. Our enthusiastic school-spirit won for us the holiday prize in the Year- book Contest. One of our classmates from France participated in the Cultural Olympics at the University of Pennsylvania. Class luncheons were held several times during the year. A Christmas tea given by the mother of one of our classmates united us during the holidays. Some of our sports-minded students had the oppor- tunity of participating in the Bulletin Swim Meet. Our retreat was a great success and convinced us that families who pray together stay together . With all this as background we feel we have been prepared for our future years at Ravenhill Academy.
