There were so many locos that I rememberod from grode school competition basketball games, ond my eyes widened ot the change in some of my old school chums. Well . . . bock to work Wo were assigned different rooms to go to, with girls from our own parishes The desks that we were given woro big enough to swim ini In fact, they were boys' desks. The De la Salle freshman were relinquishing their school to move down to the Island. Yes, they woro turning their beloved building over to Regina. Rosemary Atkinson Thoro it all began, with freshmon registration, ond oil the firsts —the first class, the first Fathor-Daugh-ter Dinner, the first Mass-all the firsts that must start ond build b school so it can corry on through the yeors Betsy Dtckmon You wouldn't believe such o change is possible. Prior to our 1959 arrival. 4242 Wentworth wos only a two-story building surrounded by o fenced yord full of plants resembling tumbleweeds But today-the first day of school-the dust ond corpenfers' tools havo disappeared, ond its two floors ond ten rooms sparkle1 It's bubbling with excitement—oil the girls are so friendly I didn't know a soul at nine o'clock, but by noon I hod become acquainted with at least ten girls The girls ond the Sisters ate so anxious to become friends Evon the slolrs have a friendly creak.

To dedicate something ts to set it aside for o special purpose. Regina High School has been dedicated to the glory of God. Throughout our four years of Regina, Janice went on to note, this dedication has boon a form of love whereby we hove offered to God oil our prayers, teoching. learning, guidance, hours of study, trying, failing, succeeding, hours of hoppiness, (ay, lough to , hours of giving, molting, showing; of seeing, knowing, loving . . . Wo have dedicated ourselves our nothingness to His greatness, our weokness to His strength. Our ignorance to His wisdom, our yearning to His fulfillment. We have set aside a part of the kingdom of God It is fitting that one of us should speak for the class to express again words of deep appreciation to two persons who ore also responsible for the blessings that hove been ours of Regina first, The Most Reverend Leo Bini, D. D , Archbishop of Saint Pouf, who dedicated our new school lost September 23rd; and secondly. The Most Reverend Gerold O'Keefe, who has supported Regina High School from the days of its beginnings in 1958. The prayerful thanks of the senior class is extended to these two benefoctors Kathy Burke
