CLASS HISTORY Two years together— two years filled with friendships and earnest endeavor, years that once seemed to stretch away and beyond the possibility of realization, but which, now that they have come to an end. seem to have glided swiftly and quietly and earnestly into the stream of our other years — such is the time element of our Class History. In September 39 twenty-four of us. representatives of four southern states — Florida. South Carolina. North Carolina, and Tennessee — entered Sacred Heart. Through the trials and diffi- culties that beset our way during our first year Patricia Riley. Virginia Brookshire. and Miriam Cameron led us on to victory. In the traditional manner of older sisters, the Sophomores, guided us through this new life. They began by giving us an Introductory Dance at which we met all the eligible bache- lors. But to prove their authority and to shatter whatever illusions they had given us they originated Rat Week. ' a week of torment and misery, a week spent in suffering the indig- nities imposed upon us. in hiding away from our tormentors and in enduring the pangs of homesickness. Then to present our disgrace to the public, our big sisters very graciously al- lowed us to attend the dance that put an end to Rat Week . The Christmas holidays passed. Night after night we spent in feverish cramming, while our hair lost its curl and fingernails ceased to be. The end of this week brought welcome relief and we began to eat again. With spring in the air and exams far behind we made the most of opportunity and gave a Leap Year Dance. That night the girls really showed the boys some points in the fine art of being escorts. To show the Sophomores that we harbored no ill feelings for their treatment of us in October and that we really appreciated their sisterly advice given throughout the year we entertained them with the traditional Junior-Senior Banquet. The year ended on June 6. We kissed our Sister Sophomores good-bye. then left to enjoy our well-earned rest. The end of three months found us back at school with only four members missing and one new member added. We were now twenty-one strong. Virginia Brookshire, Betty Holton. and Louise Bowen were elected to lead our class to its final goal. It took us some time to realize that we were no longer mere freshmen but in reality the Senior Class of the college. Once we awoke to this fact we lost no time in seeing that every one else in the school recognized us as such. That the Freshmen should miss none of the opportunities afforded us we held the In- troductory Dance; and. not forgetting the misery of Rat Week. we enjoyed watching the lowly Freshmen squirm under our none- too- gentle ministrations. Like us, however, they had their consolation — a dance in the college gymnasium. Christmas vacation, exams. Spring holidays, all passed in due course. Again we were planning for the annual Turnabout Dance, and again we showed the boys the ideal way of escorting. Our Junior-Senior, our last big event in our college course, was truly memorable. Then came Class Day when graduates and lower classmen in billowy white and pastel evening dresses made a picture the loveliest of the year, as they swirled and swished across the lawn and along the bridal wreath drive. At last came June 4th and with it all the pomp and circumstance of graduation, all the joys of home-going, and all the sadness of leave-taking from friends kind and true. So ends our Class History. Short in truth it is; yet how replete with memories, memories we shall love to cherish of all that made worthwhile two memorable years at Sacred Heart. Page Ttvenlythree 1941
