Pictured here some of the sophomores preserve that collegiate serenity that they have learned to attain, despite the elevation of the camera- man, who, in order to take this picture, had to look down on them.

Here the occupants of the room awarded first prize pose in it while it is being photographed lest, we sup- pose, there should he any ambiguity as to the identities of the embryonic interior decorators. The dolls evidently claim the credit for having effected this thing of beauty. And they do look as though they were fastidious young ladies whose boudoir would have to be in all respects just right. Page Ten Here the good neighbor policy is being carried out to the letter. This was probably XOT a midnight snack, but it is apparent that the affair had all of the attractiveness of such an event. To solve somewhat the housing problem, more dormitory space is afforded by con- verting an unused classroom into a bedroom. The perennial presence of the blackboard is no drawback. It helps to remind the occupants that the chief reason for their being at Sacred Heart is vitally tangled with scholastic pursuits. Page Eleven FACULTY Reverend Sebastian Doris, O.S.B.

Page Twenty-one I CLASS HISTORY It doesn ' t seem that it is two years since we began our college work, so even though we do not realize as yet that youth fades, we have more than a hunch that time has a habit of flying. During our first year Lillian Kotasek was elected our president; Kathleen Neilson, our secretary; and Therese Hedrick, our treasurer. The days were filled with studies and the week-ends bright with the respite that comes, fortunately, to all good workers. Of course, we had Rat Week— an event which the sophomores enjoyed heartily, but which we, the victims, would gladly have foregone. This time of torment, however, ended with much fun and enjoyment for all. The Introductory Dance, first big social affair of the year, proved very enjoyable to everyone. Later came pep meetings and bon fires at the Abbey, followed by dances afterwards. Soon the Christmas Formal was here, and after this the Yuletide vacation was upon us. But gay times are wont to disappear speedily, and before we knew it, we were back at school, preparing vigorously for the day of reckoning that was inevitable, the semester exams. But there were other festivities at hand, and soon we were enjoying the Valentine Party. The May Festival was very successful, Becky Holton making the very lovelies queen. As June rolled around the sophomores yvere not the only ones excited. We gave them a banquet in Charlotte; and of course, fell heir to some of the good times. We yvere lonely at parting with our good friends, the sophomores, but we were eager for home again, so there was a great deal of joy mixed with the sadness. Again it was September. Back to the routine of school days we hurried, reorganizing our class. This time Mary Catherine Thilmont was elected president; Kathleen Neilson, vice-president; Ernestine Russell, secretary; and Patsy Ballard, treasurer. The Relief Campaign for students in Europe, for which the Christmas Dance was scheduled, was a huge success. Kathleen Neilson was chosen to be the 1948 May Queen, as well as editor-in-chief of the Gradatim. As we realized the days were passing rapidly, we became more eager to garner more happy memories; and event, joyous and exciting, succeeded event. The freshmen gave us a most delicious banquet and helped a great deal towards making our year replete with joy and happiness. Graduation time came— time to bid farewell to our friends and the school so dear to us— time for the door of the future to open, disclosing the vistas about which we wonder so much. Ernestine Russell Page Twenty-two PROPHECY Now that Graduation time is here e wonder about the coming years: So into the crystal ball we look. And find our future an open book. Peggv Angelo will be a fashion designer: Creations like hers there will be none finer. Patsy Ballard a stenographer will be. Til some young man says Marry me. Helen Ba.xlev will haye a great name; She will go down in the I lall of Fame. They ' ll let all the conyicts out of jail Just to hear Lillian Kotasek play the scale. Betty McGerrigle— that cute, little lass. Will probably teach an English class. Phyllis Xaughton, adorable dream, ill have a husband on whom she will beam. Kathleen Neilson so friendly and fair Has for golfing a remarkable flair. A lary Powers who has nothing to fear ill make social work her career. Ernestine Russell will be a model known all over town But she will look her loveliest in a wedding gown. Man, - Catherine Thilmont what will she be : It remains for the future— just wait and see! After all this I might be a poet For I have talent, and didn ' t even know it! Lillian Kotasek Page Twenty-three I 4 ■.. « -_ LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Having given the matter much deep thought and minute consideration, we, the Graduating Class of Sacred Heart Junior College, do aver that the following is our Last Will and Testament; and we declare that all other such documents drawn up bv us are perfectly useless both to ourselves and others, and will do no one any good whatsoever to peruse. Article I To the Faculty we leave our sincere loyalty and gratitude, our love and admiration, and the remembrance— lest thev forget— of our undivided at- tention during classes. Article II I, Phyllis Naughton, leave to anyone who needs it my appreciation of a good time and my love for the little stray idle moments. With the world the way it is this bequest should be valued. To the Sacred Heart girls of the future, I, Ernestine Russell, do bequeath my boy friends of State College. It looks as though they ' ll need them, and I can manage only one at a time. I, Peggy Angelo, do will and bequeath my place in the Shorthand Class to anyone who wants it. If she needs any help, let me know. To Lillian Applewhite I, Patsy Ballard, leave my love for the Home Economics Class, After all, what the country needs is good cooking, after the ingredients are secured. To Marguerite George I, Helen Baxley, do leave my blonde hair. Take good care of it, Marguerite, I may need it back. I, Lillian Kotasek, do will to Ann Connell, if she ' ll have it, my stao line of Abbey boys. May she take as good care of them as I did! To my sister, Margaret, I, Betty McGerrigle, leave my peace (No, I didn ' t write PIECE !) of mind and freedom of speech. Just to keep it in the family. I, Kathleen Neilson, do will and bequeath my LUCK— that commodity that is said to be peculiar to the Irish— to whomsoever gets the editorship of Grauatim next year. To my roommate, Dot Shelton, I, Mary Powers, do will and bequeath my powers of application and industry that she may in her spare moments, if the desire possess her, set fire to the Catawba. Mary C.

Page Twenty eight HISTORY The fall of 1944 was spent, as we remember it now, much as the fall ol all freshman years is spent, in the business of orientation, of getting in and out of trouble, and of becoming increasingly more conscious of how much there is to learn, even after one has successfully completed the Eighth Grade. In our sophomore year competition entered the scene, tangled with the circumstance of Ruth Williams ' and Mary Ellen Donworth ' s respective arrivals here. Both of them were superior students, and we were hard put to keep whatever laurels we had managed to come by. The Sophomore Dormitory housed a very noisy group of girls, who kept Sister Teresa busv in the matter of reprimands and of giving unasked-for advice. This year we sponsored the Mardi Gras celebration, an affair at which we outdid ourselves, since everyone was agreed that it was the outstanding event of the vear. We were working fairly hard at school and enjoying in-between times dances here and at the Abbev. Of course, we were still underclassmen, and didn ' t attend every thing. That circumstance, however, was soon remedied and sooner than we realized we were juniors. Soon new girls were added to the group in the persons of Mary Detrino, Betty Thomas, Mildred Knox, and Kathleen Carter, the last two securing subsequently a placement in the May Court, wherein they represented the Junior Class. In the meantime Sister Inez, our Directress, had left for Guam, and Mother 1 lildegarde again filled the position. The first dance of this year was given by the juniors— the Hallo- we ' en Dance. This is always a great success, and so we could not take any special credit when history repeated itself. Other dances followed in quick succession, or so it seemed to us: The Christmas Formal, the New Year ' s Party, Valentine ' s Dance, etc. The most important one of the year— im- portant to us and the seniors, we mean— was the Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance. This was held at Sacred Heart, and was, we think, the loveliest ever. Son after this we returned home, filled with thoughts that soon— almost SOON, we would be SENIORS! But the seniors have their troubles, and we found this, our last year, the most difficult in point of studies. Our English assignments were longer and more arduous; we delved more deeply into American history, had more than a mere passing acquaintance with Bunsen burners and test tubes; and were mature enough for admission with the college girls into the Study Club . . . Gradually learning became an easier process, not without some especial urging from the Faculty; and, besides giving our attention to the crowded final exams, we found we had enough to distribute among the many social events that crowded the last weeks especially. There were the May Festival, May Procession, Lawn Fete and Class Day. Our last year was the most difficult, perhaps, but also the most thoroughly enjoyed. Kathleen Carter Vage Twenty-nine •- PROPHECY ' You were saying-? said Father Time, looking o ' ev his spectacles. Yes, I said, I was saying that I know just what vou are going to say about Sacred Heart ' s 1948 graduating classes. Take Shirley Wolff, for instance, isn ' t she going to become some president ' s wife? That, said the hoary old gentleman at my shoulder, isn ' t what my records say about her at all. Listen, she is listed as a New York model, who, haying broken the hearts of several gentlemen, finally became a spinster. Shirley, of all people! I exclaimed. Oh, one neyer knows, said Father Time. You have no inkling, I suppose, that Kathleen Carter is destined to be one of the greatest singers the Metropolitan has ever known, and that Ruth Williams will one day be editor of the New York Times, besides being the author of at least fifteen books? I [ere she is listed in the Who ' s Who in America for 1960. Tell me— I said. Oh, about yourself-? he said. I knew that was coming sooner or later. You ' ll be an air hostess— and don ' t worry. You ' ll die a natural death! At about what age, I asked anxiously. Oh, come on, said Father Time, let ' s get on with the prophecy. You ' re not the only graduate to be considered; and I thought you told me that vou had to hand this paper in tomorrow. ' Well, who ' s stopping vou, I said, forgetting his age in the heat of the moment. Mary Ellen Donworth will be about the most famous among vou. By 1960 she will have completed her invention of the Babv Atom Bomb, which will be used by en- gineers to move mountains and the hearts of English professors . . . By that time, too, Mary Jane and Elizabeth Volk ' s Nylon Factory will be in every state in the Union . . . Mildred Knox ' s daughter is destined to become ' Miss America ' a score of years from now. Won ' t she hail from Louisiana? I queried. Speaking of Louisiana, said Father Time, almost ignoring the interruption, June Cauble will tour the hottest spots there— and elsewhere— for her ever-loved blues singing. She will marrv most successfully. How about Betty Thomas? I asked. Let me see, said he, thumbing the dog-eared pages of an old book. Betty Thomas will bow herself out of American society, leaving her friends to manage as best thev can. Both she and Jeannine Kiser will live in Ireland, you know; and rear their children there, their husbands both belonging to the personnel at the Rhineanna Airport .. . Dolores Breaux will marry a Frenchman and reside in ' Gay Paree, ' where, by the way, Shirley Lomax will live. Shirlev is to be an author, vou know, and like most authors, will live abroad and astound both continents with her accomplishments. You haven ' t mentioned Mary Detrino, I said. Because I hadn ' t come to her yet, he said firmly. Man will be the matron of a large hospital in Georgia . . . Lavinia Mcknight will be an instructor in the English Department at Chapel Hill, and— Speaking of Hills, I said anxiously, what will Marjorie become? Marjorie Hill, why, I was keeping that choice piece of information until the last. You will be surprised to hear that Marjorie Hill will— Joan, said Mother, giving me what she avers was the fifth shake, are you ever going to get up? I have been calling you for the last half-hour. Didn ' t you sav that vou planned to rise earlv so as to write that Prophecy? What will Sister say? Why, Mother, I said, it ' s all done— almost! No, indeed, it isn ' t, said Mother. Look at that empty page on the desk. The only thing on it is the word, PROPHECY. You ' re not awake yet! —Joan Applewhite. Page Thirty LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the members or the Graduating Class of Sacred Heart Academy, do declare the following to he our Last Will and Testament; and, moreover, do affirm that all other papers hitherto given from our hand (including those handed in in the English class) are null and void. To the Faculty we leave our love and devotion, and our sincere gratitude for all thev have done for us and for all they might have done for us. To Pat Wolhar I, Jeannine Riser, do leave mv Him Book. May she have as much success with it as I did! I, Dolores Breaux, would leave my height to someone, hut where I ' m going I ' ll need it all. To Frankie Mooney I, Mary Detrino, do will my ability to dance. I, Shirley Wolff, bequeath my pleasure in studying to Iris Frye. I, Elizabeth Volk, leave to Pat Hamilton my beautiful penmanship. I, Lavinia McKnight, will my desk in Sister Kevin ' s English class to the ghost of Shakespeare (or maybe Hamlet ' s father ' s!). To Ann Scholl I, Mary Jane Volk, bequeath any affection I ever had for the United States Navy. I, Ruth Mason Williams, do will and bequeath to Helaine Sapperstein my love for football coaches! To Faith Chavis I, Joan Applewhite, leave my imagination, only on con- dition that she can master its extremes. I, Kitty Carter, bequeath to Betty Lou Kennedy my love for visiting my friends at night after visiting hours. To Mary Whisnant I, Mary Ellen Donworth, will my luck at acquiring a desk in the back of the Study I Iall where she can with ease and conven- ience do her extra-curricular reading. I, Shirley Lomax, do leave to Barbara Roebuck my love for reading. To Elizabeth Rafter I, June Cauble, bequeath ten pounds of my extra avoirdupois. I, Mickey Knox, leave to Frankie Bell my knack for blowing up the test tubes in the Chemistry class. To Lorinda Willms I, Betty Thomas, leave the idea that diploma is the nicest word in the English language. May she not find the thing itself as difficult to come by as I have.

CLASSES... COLLEGE FRESHMEN Introducing the college freshmen, already one year along in their collegiate trek and profiting much hv that circumstance. I highlighting the freshman year were manv gala events: the Introductory Dance, the Yuletide Formal, the Valentine Party, the May Festival, the Lawn Fete— fleeting things, perhaps, but incarnations of great dreams. Some of these affairs the freshmen sponsored, and did the job remarkably well, revealing executive ability and management talent of a high order.

Thev are not necessarily too serious, for as yet the problems of job- hunting and college selection have not touched them; neither does the near future promise any sad farewells.

They are, for one thing, new — and who does not like novelty? The first year in high school is a significant one, and the time is in manv resperts a glorious adventure. There are few worries as yet, and to the voung four years stretch out interminably. The young ladies pictured above are: first row: Catherine Phaw, Rosemarv Haglev, Ruth Hedrick, Helen Ennis, Jane Abernathv. and Patricia McFadden; second row: Marian Stowe, Faith Chavis, Jane Alice Barnes, Dorothv Crowder, Elizabeth Hedrick, and Man- Lewis; third row: Lvnn Reed, Helen Bell, Joan Tucker, Billie Sue Lambert, Carol Wilkinson, and Elizabeth O ' Connor. Paoe Thirty-seven The Lure of The Lab Chemistry Class Enamored of the work behind beakers and test tubes, the Chemistry Class tarries in the lab. Their findings must be interesting and their knowledge profound. Let ' s interview them and find out . . . Biology Class Here the members of Biology Class increase the number of their accumulated facts by means of the evidence of their own eyes. Seeing ' s believing in this case, and they are so engrossed that even the cameraman failed to get anv attention. Pflye Thirty-eight llfclMM Hi m I— irHftrlTil THE COMMERCIAL CLASS Here tomorrow ' s— and late today ' s— secretaries make themselves proficient. Expert training and expert teaching are the twin aids that produce the twin arts of agile manual dexterity and clear, precise thinking. Adeptness in touch and keen intelligence, added to that essential characteristic of all efficiency, patience, produces the material of which the perfect secretary is made. All equipment here is modern; all methods new and progressive. The seemingly-impatient fingers that spring to life significant and meaningful words have behind their activity a well-schooled and stolid patience that ensures a dearth of errors and a balanced performance. Paoe Thirty-nine i ■ The Daily Qrind The high school students study— oh, yes! There are such things as daily assignments; and, believe it or not, they take some time to prepare, not to speak at all of the concen- tration needed ... In fact, the very serious-minded do not wait until the stage is all set, and may be seen continuing the gleaning operations in off-hours, or even while in line . . . Back seats in the Study Hall are, it seems, an enviable commodity; but Sister knows that, too, and for vague (to some) and mysterious (to few) reasons takes her stand there. Page forty Mm i iiiMff OWi ' Ml nmiiiri iiilMl f Covering The (Distance o Alertness of both body and mind makes the manner of the exchange of classes a thing to be admired. Even the somewhat-natural desire of ascending the stairs bv taking two steps at a time must be fought against; and an exchange of confidence on the way does not at all go, sav the teachers, with the exchange of classes . . . Mark how the bulletin board is scanned. No telling what is scheduled for our enjoyment (or otherwise ). Evidently the news is not always unwelcome. Page Torty-one jfljyjj I Contacting o Old Friends For some this library business is an arduous task, taking its toll of valuable time and begrudged effort— not to speak of its tax on patience; for others it spells many a vicarious thrill that will lend wings to time and glorify the present so as to make it unrecognizable. The magazine shelves are frequently resorted to and for various reasons, bespeaking manifold uses. A sitting position is not always the most practicable, either, if one is in a hurry or too absorbed to notice that the perpendicular has been maintained for quite a while. Page Forty-two |HfcitiinfH «THIIIBlT T fr (JKaking New Ones . . , J vell-inrormVH a: if J The Sister Librarian, well informwl and obliging, is always at hand student with any phase pf library assignment, and willing at a relative to book selection, library procedure, and research. to help the times to give advice !■ Here the students enjoy interpretations in art of classical music. The exhibits on these shelves vary from time to time, frequently showing the relationship of the fine arts to one another and enriching immeasurably the scholastic and the cultural life of the pupil. Page Forty-three ' X HERE AND THERE Page Forty four • ' Urn Activities, religious, cultural, scholastic—these constitute the highlights of the year, events tangled in the memory with tiie name of Sacred Heart, too near now to be fully cherished, yet too fraught with significance to he ever wholly lost. ACTIVITIES Page Forty-five DAY STUDENTS ' ASSOCIATION I his is the major activity (outside lessons, of course!) for the Day Students. From all directions they come, gaily singing en route or engaged in the more serious and more tedious task of last-minute cramming for tests or recitations. We have two new buses this year and a new station wagon, so the travelers cover the distance even more comfortably than formerly. Page Forty-six HEADLINES SACRED HEART ECHOES ' STAFF Despite the Sky-rocketing of primers ' prices, the campus paper. Sacred Heart Echoes, increased this year the number of is appearances, becoming a monthly, instead of a bi-monthlv publication. Under the editorship of Ruth Williams, our artist in words, the school paper has increased in stature; and while there is still much to be desired in the matter of format, supplying more student-appeal, and the attainment of truly journalistic skill, we are aware that this is the small paper of a small school, struggling for an existence in an era when engravings, paper, and print are becoming increasingly costly— struggling but managing to stay alive. Page Forty eight ■ ' ■inn— liMi Mil i • II GRADATIM STAFF It has been said that no one except the graduates, themselves, reallv appreciates an annual: and that fact is understandable and based, we suppose, on the principle that onlv those who work for a thing reallv appreciate the attainment of it. The Gradatim staff this vear, as pictured above, are (left to right): Marv Catherine Thilmont. Correspondence Editor; Ernestine Russell, Assistant Editor: Kathleen Neilson, Editor- in-Chief; Helen Ba.xlev. Business Manager; and Lillian Kotasek. Snapshot Editor . . . Another Sacred Heart publication is The Alumnae News. This, while not a student endeavor, does much to supplement both the Echoes and the Gradatim. It furnishes data relative to the new and old alumnae and keeps all groups posted in current campus news and in the affairs and the interests of both one another and the Facultv and present student bodv of Sacred I Ieart. Pa°e Forty-nine s . CHILDREN OF MARY SODALITY Pictured here are the members of the Sodality of the Children of Mary, a Catholic organization, the purpose of which is to honor the Mother of Cod, the model of Catholic ladyhood. Aboye the Sodalists hold a meeting of their Discussion Club, Carmen Burns presiding in the absence of Prefect Anne Galletta. The Marian Club is the sister-club of the Children of Mary, a kind of honor society, whose members by leading exemplary Christian liyes spread about them the sweet odor of Christ, literally going about doing good. Pa°e Fifty . VM mi ' lll ' y n, m,- Stt tUJ-: MAY PROCESSION May, the month of the crowning of so many campus celebrities, is set aside by Catholics in a very special way for the honoring of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, the true Queen of the May. Here in the blossom-filled campus of Sacred Heart the Catholic students participate in the procession in her honor. ? STUDY CLUB I he Study Club, organized this year under the direction of the Chaplain, Reverend Sebastian Doris, O.S.B., is another Catholic organization. The meetings, at which the members discuss matters pertaining to Catholic lite and Catholic action, arc held bi-weeklv, and have proved to be most beneficial, as well as most interesting. They are conducted hv the students, themselves, who select the topics studied, give and receive the various assignments, and offer suggestions lor the betterment of the club and its members. To date it has effected much good, provoked more serious habits of thinking, and brought about a better ability at the rare art of ' placing [list things Erst. Page Fifty-two s Kathleen Neilson, May Queen, 1948 In the presence of raanv hundreds. Catholics and non-Catholics alike take part every May in the crowning of the student May Queen, usually one of the loveliest and most popular of the girls, whose youth and beauty lend grace to the hour and supply for all present one of the most gladsome of memories of Sacred Heart. Pa%e Fifty-three ■ w THE ART CLUB These young ladies re-create for themselves many a beaut) spot at Sacred Heart, and are fortunate in having in this respect a wide range for their talents. And not only in this branch of the fine arts do thev become adept. They arc taught to become music lovers as well, and arc treated during their work hours to main a delight Fot the ear, as can be seen above, where one of the students is about to place on the record player a classical selection. Page Fifty-four MMWi «ili i iltl •mnwiiii— n GLEE CLUB . . . There is music in all things, if men had ears: our earth is but the echo of the spheres. Here the members of the Glee Club are pictured assembled for one of their concerts. This Club is many vears old and has had some excellent conductors, the present one being Mr. D. A. Smith, who is in charge of the music of the Public- Schools in Belmont and of the combined clubs of Belmont Abbey College and Sacred Heart. (Inset is picture of Mr. Smith.) Pa°e Fifty-five — — « Stepping It Out The weekly dances, as well as the bigger social affairs, supply a goodly part of the needed respite from the daily grind of assignments and note-taking. Here the students of both college and academy mingle, the one idea being to enjoy the fleetino moment ere it passes. The juke box is the friend of all; and when it goes out of order, life seems to be uphill for a space. ■■■■■■■■i HIKING Whatever the season, the woods are always a delight; and one seldom finds them in the same mood. Pictured here is a group of college girls returning after a delightful ramble that brought the glow of health to the cheek and a satisfied, happv feeling to the heart— the heart of youth that loves adventure. Paoe Filty-seven BASKETBALL Basketball has always been the major winter sport. Here competition is very keen and interest runs high, for the occupation of making the basket has always been a popular procedure and one designed certainly to promote the qualities of good leader- ship, good sportsmanship and good judgment. All the girls have an equal chance to make the team, but only the moie skilled succeed. Everyone does not have the same share of the desirables known as quick thinking, agility, and good physical condition. (Of course, everyone wishes she had!) — mm— — ._ - -r- . .- -« VOLLEYBALL Volleyball is a sport re- quiring much cooperation, sense of fair play, and good sportsmanship. It contains bio muscle activity and builds for a good physical and mental outlook . . . Soc- cer is one of the main fall sports and gives opportunity in our Intramural Program for keen competitive activi- ties between the school teams, Blue and White. Not only do we have group activities, but individ- ual ones as well. Here the modern Robin Hoods test their skill at the easy-seem- ing, but really quite difficult, art of making the bull ' s eye. Cupid, the friend of the young, should be on the scene to assist, since archery is a matter of second nature to him. k -™ No game is complete without cheerleaders. They are the link between the players and the spectators, the boosters, in whose hands (or, shall we say, throats?) lies much of the success of many a game. Disturbances of the air and weird fantastic grimaces, together with unique physical contortions, are the specialties of these young ladies ' I he college cheerleaders, pictured above are (left to right ) Peggy Angelo, Lillian Applewhite, and Ernestine Russell.
