El! Senior Officers MARY BURNS ROBERTA MALY DOROTHY DUNN JANET HENNEKES History of the Class of 1941 WHEN WE WEREe FRESHMEN With trembling knees and beating hearts we started our freshman year. We did the things all green first-year students do: lost our way, went to the wrong class, looked on the second floor for 309, and stared in awe at the seniors. Then, came that tearful day, of initiation! The anticipation was worse than the actuality. After our first greenness wore off we settled down to work and gave a skating party as the first activity of our class. Woetully, we ended the volley- ball season on the last rung ot the laddereWon 0, Lost 3. During the year movies such as The Hoosier Schoolmaster and the Life of Lincoln marched across our horizon. Our first retreat conducted by Father Columban Kramer was a spiritual success. In 1938, Regina won the Girls' Hobby Fair Award for the third consecutive timwwith the freshies' help, of course. Our spirits soared Page 24

The days marched by so swiftly that suddenly we were no longer freshmen. Our first year at high school was over. SOPHOMORES Surprise! The Mass to celebrate the opening of school was said in Sts. Peter and Paul Church instead of our auditorium. Sister Mary Adena replaced Sister Grace as principalr In October we observed the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Northwest Territory. Some of the girls par- ticipated in the celebration, which on the whole was a gala affair. One of the bright lights in the movie schedule was Let's Sing Again, starring Bobby Breen. The annual Fathers' Night came and went and we were in the midst of preparations for Book Week. At last the long awaited sophomore play, Sardines, was given. Who can forget it? Everyone looked five years older after semi-annual tests but the girls were revived during retreat. Father McEvoy, OP, conducted it. In January old man Winter was not the only one creating a breeze. Mr. Albert Tangora, typing champion, awed us with his speed. The Mother-Daughter Banquet was again a decided success. Results of the National Typing Contest were gratifying. The school came through with the third place trophy and Rita Steinhauer was awarded the typing key. Regina was the scene of the local conference meeting of the C. S. M. C. The grass grew greener, the winds blew warmer and again vacation time. JUNIORS Once again September found us returning to school, this time as envied upperclassmen. To begin the year a new course in Religion was introduced. After we had settled down to work, some of the girls were chosen for the Beacon staff. The Chromatics Club was formed for the musically-minded students. The C. S. M. C. held formal initiation on October 27, and soon after we enjoyed a talk by Father Sourd on Home Missions. October and November were months of conventions; we attended the Catholic Youth Organization and the Contra- ternity of Christian Doctrine Conventions. From November 5 to 11 we were quite busy with our Education Week program. In the latter part Of November the movie, The Perpetual Sacrificen was presented. The juniors' pride and joy-our rings came on December 13, The Christmas season was ushered in by Christmas carolh'ng and by one of our greatest events of the yearithe Junior Christmas Party featuring Kay Kyser.
