KATHLEEN REGAN BRIDGET FITZGERALD During my noisy descent down the stain in a somersault motion the only thought I hod was fhot I didn't have Student Insurance. When I finally landed and Ined to regain my composure, while everyone else lost hers, I got ready for the walk home. During this embarrassing trip, every time there was o pause in the conversation, we would burst into laughter. I guess it was a good thing for the insurance company, though, for ever since, my folks have signed me up for insuronce It might get expensive If they didn'tl Pot Skubic I truly felt the spirit of Regina when we wore sophomores ond the new freshmen hod come to Join us in the old building. There was really no distinction of ago omong the students; we oil felt os equals.-We were eager lor the freshmon to learn the ropes ond they were more than eager to loom. We hod on oddltion to Regina, on oddition to its spirit ond warmth. I remember lost year when the sophomores (juniors now), hod the Mordl Gras. They seemod to thonk us for all we’d tried to do far them ond we tried to thonk them for all they hod done for us. I only hope the other classes are os close os our classes hove been. We hove a unity here that mokes for loyalty ond Christlike spirit in a school. Bridget Fitzgerald PATRICIA SKUBIC KATHLEEN McNEICE There wos one room In I So old school that only o select low knew about. This was the combination nurse's office, language lob, and closet There wo a comfortable bed at one end, on Interesting network of wires ond hoadphones tangled around some choirs and a table at the other end, ond an unbelievable assortment of coots, books, ond other articles belonging to the teachers. In the middle. Today I was sent to thn room, for tho purpose of sleeping, by my sixth hour teocher. Sister Raymond Ponnofort (Bless her heortl). I really don’t think it was worth all the troublo. I walked through the office, upsetting several slocks of paper os I went. Then I opened the closet door, squeezed through (The door opened only about oight inches ), crawled over the make-shift languoge lob, knocked over some books, and slipped on a coat. I finally reochod the bed, where I intendod to get a qulot nop—but this was a silly idea. I was very distroctod in that little room. I hod thought the typewriters. mimeograph mochines, and telephones In the office were bad enough, but when some juniors came in for French lob, I gave upl So I hove loomed my lesson! I will never ogoin go to the nurse's office to sleep. I do my sleeping in class now where the only distraction Is the teacher, who insists upon woklng me periodically! Kay Regan 15
