i fill Xll X l IM 1- --r 'le -L I 1 Senior Class History Just four short but full years ago we entered Sacred Heart Academy for the first time. For some of us it was our first year at boarding school. in fact. in some cases the first winter away from home. After we had sufficient time to recover from our homesickness, we began to look about us. and finally came to the conclusion that there were many changes to be made and, as we were about the most important people around, we should be the ones to make them. How- ever, before long the SENIORS informed us that dear old S. H. A. had gotten along very well before we came and could get along just as well now that we were here, and furthermore, we were made to understand that as far as Fresh- men were concerned-well. they rated a little less than nothing. We recovered from this great insult in time to enjoy the many activities of the school and before we knew it we were Sophomores. As Sophs we regained some of our enthusiasm of the previous year. But just when we were feeling our importance to the highest degree some very unkind person informed us that the word Sophomore meant foolishly wise. How- ever, we soon drowned our sorrows in our studies and the many. many social events of the year. The time passed quickly and soon we were Juniors. We had entertain- ments of all kinds, made the basketball team. and gave the Junior-Senior Banquet lwhich we thought just too, too lovelyl. Then came commencement! How silly we thought the Seniors were. crying all the time. When WE are Seniors there will be no tears. We're going out to conquer the world. Didn't they realize that they had actually received their diplomas? And now we are SENIORSI We have enjoyed the Senior clubs. privi- leges. and social activities. but. as the time grows nearer for our graduation. we can understand why there were tears last year at commencement. We have lost our enthusiasm to conquer the world and wish only to go out into it and prove ourselves worthy of the expectations of our teachers and classmates, and worthy also of the name of Children of Mary. We leave, as most Seniors do. sadly and gladly: sadly. because we realize that we must part from those we love dearly-our Chaplain. the Sisters, and our schoolmates: gladly. because we are proud to have had the honor of having the Sisters of Mercy as our instructresses, both in educational and spiritual matters, and because we have had the privilege of living, these past four years. in close contact with Our Creator. May we always remain close to His Sacred Heart and to His Blessed Mother. y - HARRIETT BUSH. Historian. Page Fourteen K f r- ,f'r, f- fs, 'S' -, bJv jf! 1 v ,f7. 71.
