SENIOR CLASS HISTORY HE history of the class of 1929 of Regina HighSchooI is different from that of any class that will follow. Since We are the very nrst class to graduate from this new school. we believe that no other will encounter the obstacles and handicaps which we overcame. Reluctantly, we must confess. did we leave the schools and friend- ships of three years to enter upon this last phase of our high school life. It was on October first. nineteen hundred and tWenty-eight, that nine girls. now called the 'iRegina Nine, coming from various schools eSt. Mary's, St. George's. Notre Dame, Norwood Highwamet in our stately new structure to form the first Senior and graduating class of the new Regina High School. Then it was that we realized the great task that lay before usathe task of forming new friendships and organizations. We realized. also, that. as Seniors it was our duty to establish precedents for the lower classes to follow. By the first of November. after a month of hard but delightful work. we elected our class officers. Jeannette Fussinger was chosen President; Edwina Albrink, Treasurer and Secretary; Kathryn Mc- Carthy, Scribe. Royal blue and silver were selected as the colors under Which we would carry our hopes and fortunes. At Christmas, the HRegina Nine acted as hostesses to the rest of the school at a delightful Yule partyt Although this was the hrst official ngt-together of all the students by this time every trace of strangeness and uncertainty had vanishedewe felt like one big happy family. With these preliminaries satisfactorily settled, our class proceeded to enter more and more into the real academic and social life of the school. Regina High School was beginning to mean more to us than a mere building of stone and mortar: it was assuming that indehnable something which we may call spirit. This Regina spirit was becoming daily more manifest in our school activities. To the Sisters of the Precious Blood, whose tireless eEorts we sincerely appreciate, we contribute the success of this our last year. They have given us, to the extent of their power. the opportunities and conveniences of this magnihcent school. and have manifested a great interest in everything We sought to undertake since we were placed under their benevolent care. In future years. when we review in happy retrospect these pioneer days of Regina High School, we hope to see the spirit of Regina. which was created in our times. exercising such a great power OVer the hearts and minds of her students that neither time not change can lessen it. Unfurl her standard to the heaven, Nor let it touch the sordid clay, For it ever leads unto the Haven And beauty of Eternal Day. KATHRYN MCCARTHY, '29. nun
