e IP aV id a T II M SENIOR GLASS HISTORY The large blue and white airplane, the SH.A-, was ready to take off. and wc, the passengers, hesitatingly and even reluctantly climbed into the clean cool interior. What we were going to do. how long the trip would take, what disappointments or enjoyments were going to be ours, we knew not ' But the good blue and white ship seeking higher altitudes proved to be safe and enjoyable, and the trip extremely interesting, cultural, and educational. From the day when, as Freshmen, we entered into this strange barque, when the rarefied atmosphere boomed loudly in our untrained ears, when the regularity and discipline aroused rebellious thoughts in our liberty loving hearts, until today, when sadly but hopefully we leave our beloved S H A., few were th e lonely hours and fewer still the hours of inactivity. During the first lap of our journey, after we had become accustomed to our strange surroundings, we were initiated into athletics and joined in the numerous activities. But early we learned that in social events we were the entertainers. Perhaps these swift descents made usi homesick for the attentions that had been ours, but we now realize that spiritually and mentally we were benefited And. though we are not sure, yet wc feel that development of character! made us love the daily routine and sigh with regret when we sighted in the distance the hangar in which our ship would be moored. After the novelty of the larger freedom had died away, we gladly boarded the big ship for our second year of exploration and discovery. This time, we were more at home, and even helped to assuage the fears and make enjoyable the trip for the new passengers who had timorously joined us at the last airport. Surer of ourselves, and more certain of our footing. we now took an active part in all events. When the weather was ceiling zero. and low ' flying only was safe, our studious discoveries were numerous and interesting. But when we could sail aloft, debates on our findings often ended with a lunch and dance. Or again we staged a play for St. Patrick ' s Day. which, like an oasis, brightened and cheered us until Easter ushered in other entertainments And quickly we flew until all too soon we arrived at our second terminus. Our regret on landing proved that our plane was really becoming a home. But. being eager travelers, there we were ready again to scramble in when the ship was about to take-off in September. Our trip was half over, but the better part lay ahead. For our minds, like soil prepared for seed, were more adaptable to new truths and correspondingly fruitful, while we were more appreciative of the wondrous vistas that opened before us. Proud of our histrionic ability and our knowledge of the language we staged a French play. And to us the marchons of the Marseillaise was but another note of encouragement to continue. And we did The numerous card parties, the entertaining plays, the well-planned, picturesque May fete, and above all. the never-to-be forgotten Junior-Senior Banquet, proved our proficiency as entertainers. Gladly, hopefully, yet with anticipations tinged with sadness, we began our last year. The tables were now turned, and on all occasions we were the entertained, not the entertainers. We enjoyed all our privileges and pleasures to the utmost. But then again wc realized the fact that doing for others brings the only real enjoyment in this world. Our athletic prowess grew with our growth, and in this our last year, many victories crowned our efforts. But now, all these happy days belong to the past. We shall miss the pure, clean wholesome air, the regularity that means comfort to all the passengers, the quick uplift of unexpected pleasures, the stunts and fancy diving of athletic and social events, and above all the calm, peaceful sailing that ever kept before us the thought — Beyond lies God. And now that time, the ever changeable, with inexorable decree has written ' Tinis to our peaceful days, may we prove ourselves worthy of the expectations of our fellow passengers. our classmates; of our pilot and officers, the chaplain and the Sisters who have guided us. guarded us. and taught us during the past years. And still your teaching shines with perfect brightness. To guide our feet along life ' s road That winds away o ' er the misty mountains. And will end one day at the Lord ' s abode. Page Tiventy-one
