149 Qs-.odemacm L A-av 1.37 it A V1 T On the fifteenth, Earle Spicer returned to the Academy, bringing with him a store of fine old folk songs and ballads. Once more mid-terms were met and conquered. February, 1949 - - This month we were privileged to hear Father Francis Fenton speak on the ever-progressing Christopher Movement and on Father Keller's, You Can Change the World. Varsity, under the direction of Captain Carol Grifiin and Manager Helen Harrington, has certainly given a good account of itself this year. March, 1949 - - As always, Father Andrew was welcomed to the Academy. This year his usually inspiring talk held a special meaning for us, who are now seriously contemplating our life's vocation, and our future in general. March 19, the Feast Day of Saint Joseph, was also the feast of the Sisters of Saint Joseph, our teachers. On that day we paused to express our deep appreciation for the good they have done. After long weeks of preparation, the Debating Club presented an excellent debate, Resolved- That the United Nations Now Be Revised Into a Federal World Government . April, 1949 - - XVith every issue our school newspaper, the Academian, has steadily improved. Therefore, special recognition has been given to Catherine Crowley, editor, and to the entire Academian staff for the exceptionally fine New Look of our own newspaper. The crowning achievement of the month was the presentation of the senior class play, The Family Tree . Under the capable direction of Sister Marie Michael the play was a big success. May, 1949 - - Three of the happiest days of our lives were spent this month in retreat. Under the direction of our Retreat Master, Father Andrew, we emerged from those days of union with God, prepared to face our life's tasks in company with Christ. Later, we were re-dedicated to our Mother Mary in the traditional Crowning ceremony. For us, the ceremony held a poignant significance since it was to be our last at the Academy. Another never-to-be-forgotten moment was that time in late May, when we completed our final C. U. A. exams. After four years of intensive study for those coveted special diplomas we experienced the thrill of a job well done. One day this month, as we packed away our crushed corsages and dance pro- grams, we tucked in memories of our senior prom-undying memories which we shall cherish forever. As the year nears its end, the senior class especially thanks Father Walsh, C. S. Sp., whose weekly lectures have increased our knowledge of God and strength- ened our trust in Him. June, 1949 - - June has come! We don't know whether to be sad or happy. Perhaps we experience a mixture of both. First there was the junior-Senior luncheon, followed closely by the Sophomore- sponsored Communion breakfast. Then at last Class Day, perhaps the saddest dav of our young lives, when we said goodbye to our schoolmates and transferred the privileges and responsibilities of Seniordom to our Junior sisters. We left a tree on the front lawn and our scarlet class banner in the school as lasting reminders of the Class of 1949. Then the day-Graduation Day arrived. How sad we were to say farewell to girls who had been our friends for the last four years! Somehow, it seems onlv yesterday that we were scared little freshmen entering the Academv for the first time. But, alas, this is goodbye . May God bless Sacred Heart Academv and her students forever. Good night, dear Diary, The Senior Class of 1949. MAUREEN NIGRO AND DOLORES SCHINTO Drawings by Barbara Muzzio. 45 'bvnwsfies 5 f' ,v I i ,vm 'P' Bl
