Us refers to the class of 1953. a class destined to break all records during its career at Sacred Heart. No one thought so that day as we sat in church during Mass. Our mothers wiped away a tear or two: our fathers picked up the buttons from their bursting vests. We passed many little milestones in our first year. We made new friends, got used to the rou- tine of going to school every day. learned to sit still with our hands folded on our desks, and stud- ied our ABC's. There was the excitement with which we attended our first play: the reverence with which we walked in our first May Procession. Then came June! We waited with baited breath as our report cards were handed out. Had we passed? In the following September, we returned as full- fledged second-graders. Quite impressed by having such a lovely lay teacher, we persisted in calling her 'Sister Halpin . One of the most blissful moments of our young lives came that year. On a bright May morning, dressed all in white under the protecting mantle of the Blessed Mother, and angels for the hours, we received our First Holy Communion. The other years of grammar school passed one by one. New pupils came, old pupils left. There were plays and processions, school days and vaca- tions. a lot of laughter and a few little tears. Then fear overtook us one September morning. We were crossing the threshold of the dreaded eighth grade. Our fears were soon quieted as we found out that it was not so bad as our predecess- ors had led us to believe. Sergeant Rossi and Offi- cer Daneri made us their deputies —safety pat- rols. We wore our badges with pride, doing our job as best we could, making sure that everyone knew who we were. In the spring, we went to a major league base- ball game, and that marked the beginning of the end of our grammar school life. For right after the baseball game, things started happening one on iop of the other. There was our Baccalaureate Mass, our graduation party given by the PTA. and fin- ally the big night came. We walked down the aisle to the sanctuary where Monsignor Hickey placed our diplomas in our hands. It was over! On first entering Sacred Heart High School as Freshmen, we were a little dazed. We were caught up and turned round and round in the wheels of this machine of education; we were swept along by the rapidly flowing current of new and strange events: we were lost in the maze of filling our rosters and getting books: we were swirled in the whirlpool of changing classes. After that first hec- tic month we fell into step with rules, regulations, and upper classmen.We made many new friends that year—boys and girls who come from other grammar schools to our high school. We weren't noticed much by upper classmen that year except when there was work to be done, dues to be col- lected. or when the seniors felt like initiating us. For the first time we added our theatrical talent to the high school play. It was a musical . Wild- flower . There was more laughter than there were tears that year, so it seems. We went to every basketball game and cheered until we were hoarse. We went to the dances and the boys stood along the sides while the girls danced with each other. The following year we became the largest and loudest Sophomore class on record at Sacred Heart. Our second year in high school was our hardest, scholastically, and there are those who will argue that it was our best, socially. Several girls made the varsity cheering squad: others were on the J.V. cheering squad of which Barbara Gruhl- er was captain. Both the boys' and girls’ basketball teams had a goodly number of representatives from the Sophomore class. The play that year. “Leave it to Jane , saw many Sophs in leading roles. With the coming of our Junior year, came also many changes, and new plans. One of the best changes that took place was having Father Leon- ard teach us Religion. Our big project for the year was the Junior-Senior Prom. As soon as mid-term exams were over, we start- ed the preparations for this affair. After much de- bating we decided on Springtime in Paris as our theme. We elected our general committee and they appointed the chairmen of the other commit- tees. On the night of May 16. not a soul could have told the difference between the gym and an authentic Parisian garden: between a French sym- phony and Corky Gale's orchestra. Although we left the Junior room with a tinge of' sadness in our hearts, one of the greatest thrills of our lives came because we left it. That great joy was walking through the senior door on September 3. 1952. On this, our last first day . memories of other first days came flooding back to us in torrents. Dimmest, yet most promin- ent. was the memory of our first first day . After saying hello to classmates we hadn't seen all summer, getting down to our books and rosters, and settling down to our regular schedule of classes, one of the first things we did was to elect our class officers. We selected Robert Franzoi. Gerald Contento, Elaine Bergamo. Peter Romeo, and Anna Mastrogio- vanni. as our president, our veep, our minute- man . our financier, and our class representative, respectively. Sister Grace Madeleine appointed our Sodality Officers George Barber. John Warren, Joyce Curry, and Anna Mastrogiovanni. We elect- ed our yearbook staff with John Warren, editor, James Forcinito and John Harris, assistant editors. Now with all the officers filled, we worked together like one big. happy family. We were not happy for long, however. Tragedy struck! Father Leonard was stricken critically ill! We spent a two week vigil in fervent, passionate prayer. We watched and waited and prayed! Our eyes smarted with tears each time his name was mentioned. Soon our eyes overflowed with tears— tears of gratitude. Qf thanksgivng. of joy! Our prayers had been heard and answered! He would qet well! Before we had time to catch our breath after Hallowe'en. November was knocking at the door and in the wake of its shadow, our last retreat stole in. Father Ryan, a Passionist Priest, conducted the retreat. The whole faculty announced that they could detect a very noticeable improvement in our conduct for several weeks after it. November faded away into December, and the class made plans for a winter dance to be held on Dec. 27. in the gym. Johnny Bruno's orchestra provided the music for the gala Winter Wonder- land . On the Friday before Christmas, we kept alive an old tradition of singing carols through the school. We held our last school Christmas party two days before this feast. After New Years, we settled down to prepare for our last mid-term exams which as usual we found impossible plus. March came along, bringing with it St. Patrick s Day. Some of the magic of the Little People's world seeped into our green bedecked classroom. Sister Grace's Irish eyes were smiling as Pat Enoch presented her with a genuine shillalegh. We spent the rest of the period singing Irish songs and eating green cake. Show business bloomed again at Sacred Heart when Nautical Notes proved a huge success. No one who saw it could ever forget Mike Guad- agno and Vincent Grieco's joining the Navy. Our last full month of school appeared in the dress of May. This last month brought with it our last May Procession. Anna Mastrogiovanni was chosen to crown the Virgin Mary. Joyce Curry, the maid of honor, and four First Communicants formed the Queen's court. There warm spring days at school heard the shutters of many cameras clicking. Among the Sen- iors. especially, pictures to remember . this or that or to put in my scrapbook were being taken. For at least two months now, the Juinors have been planning their Prom. On the night of May 15. many happy, glittering couples danced to the music of Stardust Ball . Time was now growing short, shorter, too short. We strugged through our last final exams. As usual, we were all sure that we had failed this one or that one. Then began the grueling practice for Baccalaureate and Graduation. The evening of June 7. 1953, set in warm and clear. We were im- pervious to the night. One thought, and one thought only.occupied our minds as we donned our caps and gowns with trembling hands: graduation! We spent the last few minutes in the Senior room as we had spent the first, nine long months before—saying the Rosary. As the hands of the clock moved closer to eight, we moved closer to our destiny. We walked over to church, down the aisle, into the pews, uncon- scious of the sea of faces turned toward us. We sat through the singing of hymns, reverently listened to the sermon of Father Schad, in a dazed state of mind, living as though we were in a dream. As Monsignor Hickey placed our diplomas in our hands, we could almost hear the golden gates of childhood swing together and close with a clang.
