Chaucer's host suggested that each pilgrim tell two tales en route to Canterbury, Rosary's Class of '48, en route to graduation, had to live the tales that follow. Here ends the Prologue, here begins the Freshmen's Tale. A bit shy and afraid, yet proud and happy to be in high school, we received rules, schedules, textbooks, and thus began our first year. While September slipped silently into the past, October's bright weather fostered our participation in the annual Rosary Procession. Although Latin, algebra, and history monopolized our time, Sodality projects, such as, Vocation, Book Week, and Valentine programs, found ready response from all. Christmas and its vacation were soon things of the past. Before we realized it, trees were budding, and we had our first Retreat, three days that filled our hearts and minds with peace and firm resolutions to do better and aim higher. Exams were next, the year was ending. Class Day topped it off, and with sad hearts we completed our Freshmen's Tale. A rest ended, we begin again. This is the Sophomores' Tale. Less timid and less shy, entirely unsuspecting, we began our sophomore year by coming face to face with geometric angles and French nasals. Our missionary ardor had not cooled, and again we gave until it hurt. Under our business-like management of that memorable auction, the first edition of Veritas was aided. During the year we were taught something new, dancing. We performed our graceful Russian Dance, and spectators marveled at our agility and acrobatic talents. Our second Retreat was a welcome interval of peaceful meditation and sincere prayer. Exams soon followed. 'Mid the chatter of teeth and the knocking of knees we encountered our first C. U. Exams.
