All the classes deserve ' V ties which they sponsored. E October 28 the classes made their M social debut of the year at a masquerade Va N 'P 'J' party given by the promoters of the Sacred ul 4 ' ' M i Heart League. Everyone. gay with the .f ' '. . , I rx X. ' , . . . 5 Halloween spirit, furnished fun and ex- lv' i citement for the evening. And as will 'U'-is av :xx always happen when the Freshmen meet '44 in gatherings of their upper classmates, there was a slight sprinkling of initiation. Prizes were given for dancing and cos- tumes. Refreshments were served and the joy-makers went their merry ways. October 29 the Senior class was entertained with a l-lallowe'en party given by Catherine Applegate at the Baltimore Hotel. There were games, stories, dancing and every amusement fitting for the occasion. November l. A merry time was given the Senior Class by Nellie Kearney, the class president. Before we could enjoy a chicken dinner it was necessary we should earn it by a hike to Shawnee, Nellie's home. The girls all made a brave start by meeting and riding to the end of the Rosedale car line. From there we hiked, a long tramp, but very enjoyable. A pleasant surprise was afforded the girls in the afternoon by the arrival of Father Carroll and Father Scott. The next day found,' the hikers a little foot-sore and weary, but happy after their day's outing. February 22. If anyone should be in doubt concerning the unique decorations, which some of the Seniors have been wearing lately, they need not be greatly alarmed, for they are harmless little pledges for the Delta Phi, a social club which was formed by the Seniors in the early part of the year. The Seniors spent a very delightful afternoon at Catherine Oswald's homo on Washington's birthday, after much fun had been enjoyed at the Newman by those who were initiating the pledges. There were games, dancing, and prizes for all. The howling blizzard without did not cool or affect 'their merriment. February 29. The Commercial Class spent an enjoyable afternoon at a pre-Lenten party given them by Father Gunn. Every game and amusement which had ever gladdened the hearts of our prospective business women from their baby days was again played in our beautiful auditorium. Father Krieger, who was spending a few days here, was our very welcome guest. Seventy-fozrr

at ,mei A JW r YW! P .,-sf , The Afmarre HAT more befitting than the title chosen for our lirst annual, edited by the students of Redemptorist High? AI l-Tili-l stands for St. Alphonsus, patron of our priests: mar, culled from Mary, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, patroness of our parish: re, from Redemptorist Fathers, worthy sons of Alphonsus, who so generously sacrifice themselves in the faithful fulfill- ment of their great, noble work as missionaries and devoted sons of Holy Mother the Church. We, too, in our small way may be missionaries, and may contribute our share to the world's better- ment by leading lives that are noble, ever striving for the higher things, in order that our life work may bear the impress of the glory and greatness of our great models. May we be to others as a fragrant rose, not a troublesome thorn. With a kindly wish to our readers and a hope that our efforts may meet with their approval, we send forth our first copy of THE ALMARRE. W mt' '11 Seventy-six
