This morning I helped movo Rog.no to 43rd ond 3rd. Girls wofo spreod oil over the town in o human ouembly line, tossing desks out of the old building like a team working out with o medicine boll. While the desks were moving lad ond furiously, there wot little sound, but os the oction slockod off. os it often d.d because the rooms hod to be emptied one by one. wo joked about the moving-van and the way it was loaded, about tho lost day when oil the lockers hod to be cleaned out iWhot o messl), about the plans lor the extended vocation, etc. It was just like a big picnic, gaily impersonal. The air of nonchalance pervaded until the movers stopped for lunch. By then there were only two loods left, so the Sisters oskod us to help sweep the halls. Inside, the building was deod. Silence groetod every footstep. It was frightening. I've been there early in tho mornings many times in the past two ond a half yeors but always there was promise in the silence, the ossur-once thot the building was just awakening from a nop, But this time we all knew no one was coming. Wo finlshod sweeping os quickly as possible and burst into the worm sunshine. I don't think I really believed we were moving until thot day. Sure, I'd been ever to the now building many times, but M hod always looked like on offico building. Now I knew otherwise. I have quite a few misgivings about exposing tho famous Rogino spirit to wido open spaces. I guess I really don't trust myself. Con I take such o big change’ Con tho others?

The doss of '63. It seemed, loved porties. whether it was Soint Patrick's Day, o basketball victory, Christmas, or even o non-birthday. Somehow we always found a way to celebrate. But the grandest and biggest was the saddest. We gave a forewell party for the old school. To the study holl-cofeterio we brought food, twist records, pop. o record player, more food, and evory |unior we could find. Tho old building really vibrated then, especially when we danced up and across first and second floors and down again. Then, as alwoys, we had to sing (I guess we’re |ust a singing da vsl'. so wo song farewell forever. Mary I write of the Roglno of the post. If it wero to have been judged on newness or looks, I'm afraid It would hove flunked out, yet it was within those walls that the most beoutiful spirit began. Become we were the only doss at that time, wo found the school wos very small and per so no I But like nature, living things must grow, and in the two and one half years we were in the old school, thot's |ust whot happened Our spirit seemed to double simultaneously with our growth In population. May of our junior yeor brought with it the first rool triol of our spirit The question then wos. Con we move this school spirit to the new building? Elno O'Toole
