Page Tioenty CLASS HISTORY I. The Age of Innocence He who knoivs not, and knoivs not that he knows not, is — a Freshman. Pity him. On the eighteenth of September in the year of our Lord nineteen hun- dred and forty-four, we, the Class of 1946, entered our next two-year lap of life ' s journey as Freshmen — or, in other words, RATS ! And into the school from the street came tumbling Large rats, small rats, lean rats, brawny rats ... We almost took the school with our laughing, talking, and squeaking; but soon we realized the approaching danger and fled from the sophomores for our lives. During the first month of school we organized our class. Cay Mooney was elected our President, Dotsie Chandler, Vice-President, and Julia Stowe, Secretary-Treasurer. We played our part as freshmen, and we lived that first year to the fullest. Our days were crowded with classes and our week-ends filled to overflowing with parties and dances. There were Rat Court, our College Introductory Dance, the Pep Meetings at the Abbey with dances afterwards, our Freshman Bridge Party, the Abbey Formal. Then came the Christmas vacation. ... Back to school we came, each raving about her own special beautiful time ; back to exams and Retreat. With February came our Carnival, that joyous event where everyone seemed to meet someone new. Then came spring and with it May Day. There was much campaigning for May Queen. Nancy Jordan was elected by popular vote of the entire student body. The Festival was a huge success, and we all felt proud of the job we had done. And what is so rare as a day in June ... The Sophomores had reached their goal, and their faces beamed with delight at the prospect of graduation. We gave them the best banquet ever enjoyed. The affair took place at Rozzell ' s Ferry. After the splendid dinner we danced until the wee hours at the Alumnae Formal. We witnessed the graduation of our beloved Seniors and realized with a sinking feeling that in one more year we, too, would be taking a last farewell of Sacred Heart. We resolved to make our last year the best and happiest of them all. II. The Great Awakening He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is a — Sophomore. Pity him. Having thus drifted through one year of ignorant bliss, and having realized that we must either get to work or flunk, we suddenly came to a great awakening. We reorganized our class: Patricia Inabinet was elected to lead us through our Sophomore year ; Lucile Baddour was made Vice-President, and Jayne Graf, Secretary-Treasurer. The first of our important activities was The Razzing of the Rats. ( 0 revenge, how sweet art thou! ) In October we conceived the idea of having a Fashion Show. In December this idea became a reality, and what a reality! It was the first of its kind and it drew a huge crowd. Our last semester was before us. We realized that our days were numbered, and we found ourselves trying to crowd in all the things that would make this year the most wonderful of all. The days of joy and fellowship were fast drawing to a close. Having at last attained to The Golden Age , we no longer had to feign superiority of intellect, and for the first time we entered Sacred Heart we dared to relax our faces and be ourselves! Before commencing let us not forget to mention the wonderful party given us by the Freshmen. . . . The shadows of sadness and delight now lengthen into one of glowing light — the light of Graduation, which marks the culmination of a two-year dream and opens the door to a future in a world of peace (we hope), whose path is lighted by Knowledge, made easy by Understanding, and rendered delightful by Love. Patricia Mullen, Class Historian. PROPHECY Yes, Anne, what is it? There is a Mrs. Edward A. Chandler to see you. She hasn ' t an appoint- ment, but she insists on seeing you. Mrs. Edward A. Chandler? I don ' t seem to recall the name. Have you any idea who sent her? She mentioned that she had been graduated from Sacred Heart College with you. Oh, well! That ' s different. Give me a few minutes to make myself presentable, will you, and then show her in. Mrs. Edward A. Chandler! It couldn ' t be Ridgy Baddour. Shortly after Graduation she entered Maryknoll. I always knew she would become a Missionary. ... By the way, I must remember to send her that package. Sweets are pretty scarce in China. . . . Pat Inabinet married Connor; always thought she would. He certainly made himself worthy when he became a convert. It was only the other day that I received a picture of her three sons, splendid boys, all. (I just hope the new baby is a girl!) That reminds me that I must stop in at Jensens and send her something. . . . Julia Stowe married her paratrooper — naturally! I imagine they are still living at Camp Mackall. Too bad the children are all girls. Maybe they will open a woman ' s branch of the paratroopers ! . . . Mary Jo Parrish, our class genius, has so much of the alphabet after her name that she had to have a special room built for her diplomas alone. Though she teaches Sociology at the Catholic University and is quite busy, she still has time to write heavy philosophical books. Did you read her last, The Philosophical and Intellectual Potentialities of the Pithecran- tropus Erectus? What next, I wonder? . . . Pat Mullen followed in her father ' s footsteps (that ' s one case of printer ' s ink flowing in the bloodstream!) ; and now, besides being the author of some really good novels, is the owner of one of the largest antique establishments in the South. . . Betty Haney certainly lived up to her reputation of ' Queen ' by winning the title, ' Queen of the Sugar Bowl Tournament. ' I am certainly glad that she and Bob finally saw the silver lining. . . . Olga Lopez Menendez y O ' Brien is now a great dancer and has her own studio for specialized dancing on East Fifty-seventh street — a long way from Cuba! As interior decorator I did my best to give her place the perfect setting for Olga. Sometimes I wonder whether it was just what she desired, though. . . . But that leaves only Jayne Graf ; and Jayne married ! Yes, she finally made up her mind, an d she had such a choice! Her better half must be — WELL! Jayne Graf! So you are Mrs. Edward A. Chandler! Jerry Osborne. Page Twenty-two LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the members of the Graduating Class of 1946 of Sacred Heart Junior College, being in the full possession of soundness of both mind and memory, declare the following to be our latest will and testament; and moreover, do affirm that all other documents given from our hand and relating to the same business, be henceforth declared null and void. To the Faculty we will and bequeath our undying gratitude and loyalty. To the Freshman Class we leave — the memory of us and as much of our charm and personality as we can afford to part with. This will carry them far: and the going will be easy — WE HOPE! I, Patricia Inabinet, to bequeath to Dorothy Robbins, my roommate, my ability to struggle to breakfast. That, combined with her own weak efforts in the same direction, will ensure her the first meal of the day during the coming school year. To Lydia and Eloise Diaz, I, Geraldine Osborne, do will my position as Queen of the Campused Club . (Get the reading habit, ladies, and staying at home will be lots more interesting ! ) I, Patricia Mullen, do will and bequeath to Mary Santos my technique with my Belmont man. (Guaranteed to work with any male of the species, Mary!) I, Jayne Graf, as runner-up for Campused Queen, leave my trick of dating in the parlor, regardless of consequences, to Jeanne Gill. (May she soon get up the nerve!) To Marcella White, I, Mary Jo Parrish, bequeath my intellectual ability, desiring that she, in her turn, will it to Sacred Heart for the upkeep of the College in general and the Sophomore Class in particular. . . . I, Betty Haney, leave my numerous love affairs, even the one-sided ones, to Jean Bowen and Lillian Burns. (They ' ll take some disentangling. but you ' ll enjoy them eventually.) To Barbara Rushing, I, Olga Menendez, will my dancing ability. (With a little more pep and this bequest, Barbara, you should get places. I, Julia Stowe, bequeath my friendly smile to Sally McNeil. (Use it often, Sally, and it won ' t lose its shine!) To Miss Dunn, I, Lucile Baddour, will my gratitude for the matter of her promptness with regard to reveille calls ; to Genevieve Trott, my roommate, I will the said calls themselves, hoping that her response to them will bs a little more prompt and more spirited than mine was ! Lastly, we, the members of the Coffee Club leave to our successors all our topics of discussion for the round table. This will add to the noise and confusion, but the interest arising will be worth it. Given from our hand, this day of May in the year of grace nineteen hundred and forty-six. Lucile Baddour.

I can hardly believe that our high school days have come to a close. We, the graduates of ' 46, will with heavy hearts and tear-dimmed eyes leave Sacred Heart : but we will leave with many cherished memories — memories that will gladden the days to come and make a halo around the after-years, surcease in sorrow and delight in joy. The beginning of our first year at Sacred Heart was not without its fears: What would the future hold for us? Strange faces peered at us; different accents puzzled us; unfamiliar places frightened us. We were not long in this state, however. Sisters and students were both decidedly friendly, and with their friendliness our fears thawed. Starting out in our Freshman year, we had the thrill of meeting the Abbey men, a circum- stance followed by invitations — loads of them : to the dances, to the games, to skating parties, to weiner roasts. We began to glow with enthusiasm for Sacred Heart. What mattered it if the days were well besprinkled with assignments and the study periods long? There were thrills in the offing that more than made up for all. . . . During our Freshman year the Golden Jubilee of the coming of the Sisters of Mercy to Belmont was celebrated. It was a wonderful time, and we reveled in the wealth the past had handed down to us. Final exams rolled around and after them vacation. But as Sophomores we walked more briskly up the long avenue. Sacred Heart was a second home now, and we came back to it thankfully. There were new faces now, too, but not so many ; and we were soon friends with all. Again we went to the Abbey, a little bewildered, perhaps, because some of our friends there were using their energy in distant parts. We decided to be true to our friends overseas and stay on the campus — of Sacred Heart. (Did we? Oh, now!) In April of that year the Choir was invited to Camp Sutton to sing the Mass offered there for the soldiers. A Communion breakfast followed. At Easter the Sophomores presented The Three Sons . At the end of our Sophomore year we found ourselves wondering just what we were going to be in the future. Then we returned as Juniors. Scarlet Lily was the most outstanding play of the year, and m any of us took part in it. Our banquet in Charlotte for the Seniors was the best of its kind, and the dance afterwards even more successful. The May Day and the Lawn Party were big events of that spring, too, and before we knew it we were — SENIORS! Our return to school that time was tinged with sadness. For most of us Sacred Heart would be after this year a memory. The Students ' Retreat in the spring was an especial treat because it was conducted by the well-known Redemptorist priest, Father John Frawley of Massa- chusetts. The usual springtime festivities were enjoyed, our Junior- Senior Banquet and Dance being the highest of the highlights. Soon, too soon, alas, we shall commence . What lies for us in the world of tomor- row who knows? That it will be a world of enduring peace we hope; that, whatever it be, we shall be true to the training received at Sacred Heart we determine. Peggy Hastings, Senior C a ss historian. Page Thirty-one CLASS PROPHECY My play had run a week on Broadway, and seemed to be a great success. All the major critics had praised it, and I could afford to ignore the minor ones. I felt that my ambitions were about to be realized. Nevertheless, I remember with what excitement and almost agony I sat through the premier performance. And, speaking of that night, what startling dis- coveries I made ! When the curtain fell after the first act I held my breath, but my fears were groundless for the audience seemed very pleased. I kept telling myself that everything would be fine as I listened to the favorable com- ments on the play. After all, wasn ' t Barbara Scruggs, Broadway ' s best actress, in there doing her finest? During intermission I could not help thinking about the past. My old school days at Sacred Heart were again relived. How happy they had been! I began to wonder about my classmates: where were they? — what had they made of themselves? Peggy Hastings had become one of the noted chemists of the day, and her fame was widespread. Her latest dis- covery was called Atomic — what? Dolly Joost had become a famous model, and Ernestine Russell one of the best known interior decorators. They were both very happy in their work. What became of the others, though? I could go no further. What a shame that we don ' t keep up with one another, I mused to myself. The seats began to fill again for the second act of the play. I glanced at the lady beside me. There was something familiar about her ... no — yes! I was sure of it! It was Mary Schidzig. In the same instant she seemed to recognize me. We were both delighted, of course, and after the play we started talking a mile a minute about old times. Mary was doing social work and was very happy, indeed. I was also able to learn about other classmates of ours: Ana Maria and Gilda Iruretagoyena had both married Americans and had gone back to their native Cuba to live. Joan Murphy had entered the convent and was now Directress at Sacred Heart. This was as much as Mary knew about our classmates; and we stepped into a coffee shop while I told her all I knew. . . . Mary saw her before I did, and she jumped up and ran over to her table. It was Ruth Heifer ! With her was her husband, Michael. Then our good times really began. From every corner of our memories were pulled records of our gay years at Sacred Heart, and what we lacked in knowledge thereof Ruth supplied eagerly. Theresa Hedrick was a nurse and Betty Ayres a laboratory technician. They were both at Johns Hopkins. There was Helena who had become a famous surgeon — and had married Harold into the bargain. Last, but not least, was Ramona Almaguer. No, she had not gone back to Cuba and was the Home Ec. teacher at Sacred Heart. At last I knew the history of our class — of every member of it, and when I said goodbye to Ruth and Mary the sorrow of parting again was quite swallowed up in the joy of having met again and of having learned all that for a long time I had wanted to know. Jane George. Page Thirty-two LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Seniors of Sacred Heart Junior College and Academy, being in sound mind and of responsible memory, do hereby declare this to be our latest will and testament and declare that all other documents hitherto given from our hands are to be considered null and void : To our Chaplain, Father Sebastian, we extend our deepest gratitude for his sincere interest in our spiritual welfare and our appreciation of the great influence for good that is his. To our Faculty we leave our lasting gratitude for an unwearying patience and a splendid guidance. To the present, and the future, students of Sacred Heart we bequeath an ardent hope that they will profit in all matters by our usual and unusual experiences. I, Joan Murphy, do will and bequeath my quiet ways to Gloria Krug. For the benefit of all concerned, may she make frequent use of them ! To Jean McArthur, my present roommate, I, Betty Ayres, leave the wish that she may be rooming with as quiet a young lady next year. I, Barbara Scruggs, do will and bequeath my excuses for getting off campus to Benny Edwards, who will probably need the complete set next year. To Norma Jimenez, I, Helena Mergner, leave the hope (my own added to hers, that is) that she will have as much fun in the Glee Club next year as I have had this year ! I, Jane George, do will and bequeath to my dear friend, Anne Galletta, my ability to dance. May she make as many and as varied contortions on the light fantastic toe as I have. To Betty Bailey, I, Mary Schidzig, bequeath my ability to rival Tenny- son ' s brook in the matter of continuity of babbling and my virile Maine accent to pep up that southern drawl. I, Ruth Heifer, do will to anyone who ' ll take care of it my ability at literary composition. (The beneficiary need not invest in any more rhetoric texts!) To Jane Pollock, I, Ana Maria Iruretagoyena, do bequeath my four-feet- eleven height. Now she can hitch her wagon to a star ! — any star, of course. I, Peggy Hastings, do will to Mirtha Rodriquez my slim figure and dainty appetite. Take care of them, Martha, and watch the scales! To Lillian Applewhite, I, Dolly Joost, bequeath my prowess at throwing the ball right into the basket. (And I ' m not speaking figuratively!) That, added to her own ability at basketball, ought to secure Sacred Heart all games next season. I, Theresa Hedrick, do will to Peggy Brooks all my Abbey men. (Enjoy life while you can, Peggy. There may be another war, who knows?) To Marie Carbonetti, I, Ernestine Russell, do will and bequeath my domestic ability. That and the memory of the best route to a man ' s heart ought to get her places ! Given from our hand this day of May, 1946. Mary Joost.

When God helps all the workers for His world, the singers shall have help of Him not last. GLEE CLUB SODALITY OF CHILDREN OF MARY Privileged, indeed, are the young ladies admitted to the Sodality of the Children of Mary. They are in an especial way consecrated to the Mother of God, choosing her as their Mother, their Mediatrix, and their Queen, that she may watch over them in life and present them after death to her Divine Son.
