A. main street was the scene of hungry hoards buying hot dogs, chilli, iee cream cones, and other dainties at junior markets. At the Hallowt-'en party our leading Class Officers carried away the first prize as Ma, l'a and the Kid. The one and only sorrow of our junior year occurred when Julius Lfaesar passed away. Our beloved julius was given all the burial rites, and a touching sermon was delivered by Minister Conlin. interment was made in the tirove cemetery. Christmas vacation brought with it Christmas joys, and not until semester exams were upon us did we fervently wish to share Julius kfaesar's lot in Grove cemetery. Vvhile we were yet encleavoring to strengthen wabbly exam marks, the strains of ln india, a joyous operetta, made more joyous by daily trips to the K. of li. building for rehearsals, demanded our attention. In India was a thing of the past, when St. Yalentine's Day dawned. promising a party. To prove how much we had changed since our Freshman days. we gen- erously let a Sophomore receive a reward for her clever disguise, Our next venture in the social and theatrical world produced Patsy Being responsible for the A. l.. S, Banquet this year, for weeks ahead of time committees burned the midnight oil. Qui' guests declared they never attended a more wonderful party in their lives. Rah! Rah! Rah! The Athletic Association was having its first pep meeting. Wie stopped cheering just long enough to elect Bernice Doolin and Frances Fox to hll the offices left vacant by the Seniors of '26 Before we realized it, we were going home again. to return next year as dignified Seniors. Senior Year. August thirty-first was not too early to assume our new dignity: so we began to be Seniors at once. Officers of rank were chosen immediately: Margaret Monaghan was to wield her authority, assisted by Naomi Gorey, Ruth Allison and Clara Graham. Strange forces reminded us that the initiation party was our first responsibility. After much profound thought on our part, pillow cases and ice cream and cake made the dreaded evening 1nost enjoyable for the newcomers. After an interval of studies, the grinning pumpkin heads of Hallowe'en greeted us, lilisgpiised all the way from colored mammies to Pierrettes, we danced the merry evening away. An 'fAthletic Yaudevilleu gave us a gay send oti' for our Thanksgiving Vacation. XYe went home thankful-thankful for everything. After vacation trouble began to brew. VVe scoured our old armour all over again. Fortunately for the Juniors, open hostilities were prevented by the Freshman drive for the Propagation of the Faith. So nobly did we contribute to the drive that we were entertained during a recitation period by Father Sloan. The approach of Christmas vacation meant Santa Claus and a party. The Faculty always makes our Christmas party the ffbest fun of the year. Needless to say, Santa was splendid to us all. Christmas holidays and our final finals over, wc welcomed a Valentine Party. This year we had a Valentine postofilice, and during the evening we were kept busy as postmen. It was now time for the S. H. A. girls to clothe themselves in Lenten black, and frivolities were forgotten until after Retreat. And such a Retreatfeven the Seniors were transformed into remote, angelic beings. Fearing that so much solemnity might prove inju1'ious to laughter, the Seniors staged f'Tl1e Laughing Furef' To our great relief, everyone laughed. In a f'Spring Frolic the lower classmen came to the relief of the Annual Fund. Vvithin the next few weeks, the Freshies gave a danee and the Commercial girls, a sale for the same worthy cause. Vie appreciate their kindness. The longed for Class Day came at last. YVe boarded the newest parlor bus obtainable for a trip to Starved Rock. Torrents of rain failed to dampen our fun and enthusiasm. Our cup of joy was filled to the brim at A. l.. S. banquet. Commencement, the grand Finale of our school davs, is at hand. Tramp. tramp. trampf Right about face-A last look at dear old S. H. A. XVhat a host of happy memories cling around our Alma Mater. VVe can only say XYe thank You, Tears fill the eves of every soldier maid of '27 as the time approaches for her to march from S. H. A.
