Julia Dickson Anna Wilson Teeter CLASS HISTORY The halls of Sacred Heart, in September 1940. welcomed a new group of wide-eyed Freshmen, girls who were filled with the conflicting emotions of pride at being college girls and timidity at the strangeness of a new school, both tempered by a healthy respect for our recognized superiors — the Sophomores. To some of us the traditions of Sacred Heart were not new. but college life was — especially the life pre:ented to us by the Sophomore Class. Rat Week came all too soon, bringing with it all the misery of punctured pride and deflated ego. But we received no small comfort in the dance held in our honor at the end of the week. Adjustments finally completed, we settled down to work, finding welcome relief after exams in the advent of Christmas holidays. Spring was accompanied by the usual symptoms: we drooped wearily into class and cast longing looks out the windows: faces showed the absence of make-up and appetites were on the wane. It took the Sophomores ' Turn-about Dance to waken us from the lethargy. In our generosity of spirit, but mostly to prove that we were pretty good sports after all. we gave the traditional Junior-Senior Banquet. Class Day Exercises were closely followed by Commencement on June 4. and we were off for a welcome vacation. September saw us back with a few members absent but quite a few addi- tional girls. There was the usual flurry of getting settled, organizing clubs, and choosing our leaders. Realizing that we were now the senior class in college and with the memory of our Freshman year still rankling, we set to work to impress our underclassmen. To see the Freshmen ease around the nearest corner at the mere sight of a Sophomore should have been enough, but we found unholy glee in making them suffer all the horrors that our fertile imaginations could devise. The week ended with the dance attended by the soldiers from Morris Field. On our return from the Christmas holidays, we held the Annual Turn-about Dance. Spring meant the Junior-Senior Banquet, one of the most pleasant memories we carry away from Sacred Heart. Commencement came with tears and farewells and promises of undying friendship. So ended our days under the loving guidance of our Alma Mater. But these words, lightly spoken and hastily perused, can never tell of our rea l experience at Sacred Heart, the cherished symbols of school life, lasting friendships and beloved teachers. For our days here, happy and troublous, have left us a heritage we can never lose. We have known Sacred Heart and she has become a living part of us. As we go forth from her gates, we know that we will be all the better for having known her.

Page Thirly-six mm SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1938 five girls— Dolly Dunn. Dolly Seay. Ellen Bryant, Mary Katherine Kabas. and I — rose to the ranks of high school students. We were all familiar with Sacred Heart and we knew only too well what was expected of us. Thanksgiving passed in the medley of Latin and French phrases; Christmas came and went: Easter passed amid Algebra and the Middle Ages. Just as all these things were beginning to assume shape and reason in our minds. June came and we vacationed in the hope of gaining recognition as Sophomores next year. In September, the same group returned and was joined by Toney McCaffrey from Asheville. We were pleased to welcome back Dot Heinz who had been with us in the seventh grade. Toney soon came to know our habits and customs and all went well. The fall of 1940 was indeed happy for us as we had gained the title of Juniors. Mary Jeanne Thibodeau from Atlanta. Georgia, and Mary Edwards from Tryon. North Carolina, took Dorothy ' s and Toney ' s places this year. The Junior-Senior Banquet was the main event of the year. The beginning of the year was spent in anticipation of this occasion and the few weeks following were spent in blissful memories. In September, the faithful five returned and welcomed to our company as seniors Dorothy Heinz. Charlotte: Juanita Jones. Gas- tonia: Frances Cress. Concord: Elizabeth Sanford, Charlotte: and Mary Alice Bryan, Durham. Juanita Jones was chosen to lead our class in its last round. The biggest thrill of this year was the arrival of the class rings. Commencement Day meant goodbye to friends and teachers and the old carefree days, but we were impatient to meet the mysterious outside world. Our history has been short but exciting. Chemistry formulas and Latin phrases were hard going at first, but we conquered these as well as many other difficulties. Memories we shall cherish are those of our skating parties. Hallowe ' en parties, and dances. We will always remember our Alma Mater and we hope that in the years to come, the class of ' 42 will be pleasantly remembered by the Faculty of Sacred Heart. Margaret McKnight. Historian Page Thirtif ' Seven The Carolina Review May 12, 1952 BRYAN ' S MUSINGS Scanning the news columns the other evening an item entitled Keeping Up With The Navy arrested my attention. Glancing down the page I read through several names. Doctor Ellen Bryant who had graduated from Johns Hopkins and three graduate nurses. Martha Jo Seay, Frances Cress, and Juanita Jones had been assigned to the hospital staff of the Navy department. With a start. I realized that these prominent people had once been class- mates of mine at Sacred Heart Academy. Chubby, I remembered, had always wanted to be a doctor. I could see her now bending over some medical book or writ- ing a medical story. It was always medi- cine with her, I had known she would go far and I was highly delighted that she had reached her goal. Dolly Seay was another who had talked of medicine: but only in connection with nursing. We had always known she ' d make a good one! Juany. too, had been determined to be a nurse, but after she married the great Naval officer, Wilson, we hardly thought she ' d go in training. So it was quite a surprise to see her name on the list. Fress had cherished the idea of becom- ing a Navy nurse after Pete joined up that last year of school. It was a sad day when he went in, but Fress made up her mind then and there she ' d join too! Now she was in and 1 knew she must be happy. Reading further. I saw that a Mrs. Jackson had been assigned as new athletic directress of the Navy. A picture of her was given and looking at it more closely, I saw it was none other than Scrappy Kabas, Was I surprised! I had always thought that Mary Katherinc would enter the convent. Next I came to an item of astonishing interest! The department was considering letting the sensational Broadway produc- tion Only Fools Exist be played in the Navy auditorium. The title was strangely familiar and suddenly I remembered that Broadway ' s newest and most sought-after actress was playing the leading role, and she was none other than Margaret Mc- Knight! I had always thought Margaret a trifle shy, but now it seemed that she was the toast not only of Broadway, but of Hollywood as well, My old classmates surely have gone up in the world! I thought. As I continued reading, I noticed that Miss Dorothy Heinz who had christened the great battleship. Butterfly, had after- wards run off and married. The lucky man was Commodore Throp of the U. S. S. S. S. Disaster, Well imagine that! We all had an idea Dot had married Jake even before school was out! That just goes to prove how brilliant we were. And speaking of brilliance, I remem- bered reading just the day before that the world ' s greatest woman chemist is to ad- dress the entire Navy body after her work is completed in Europe. It will be a great event as it is thought that the professor will disclose several of her recent dis- coveries. Imagine Dolly Dunn having made such progress! I should like to hear her. She always had made delightful impromptu speeches and we had taken it for granted that she would go on the stage. But I guess her love for chemistry was just too great. Last in the list of familiar names was Elizabeth Sanford, Lib had been chosen as chief switchboard operator of the Navy department. It was indeed an honor and I knew she wouldn ' t waste much time making eyes at the good looking seamen. To Lib her work would come first. Well, that was the end of the article! Laying the paper aside, I thought of how kind life had been to my classmates, and here was I, Mary Alice, who might have been with them, holding down a job on a newspaper and performing all the duties of a housewife at once. But then, I too have found my happiness. And oh. they are so sweet ! ! ! — Mary Alici- Bryan. Prophet.

In the course of the school year a competitive program of unusual interest was organized. Students of the College and Academy were presented with a list of individual sports and group activities. From this list each student was privileged to select the individual sports most appealing to her; while all students were required to participate in the group activities. Individual sports included Archery, Tennis, Badminton, Paddle Tennis, Ping-Pong, Shuffleboard. Darts, and Horseback Riding. Group activities were: Softball, Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, Track and Field.
