C. Yet ah, that Spring should vanish with the Rose! That Youth ' s sweet-scented manuscript should close! —Fitzgerald ' s translation of The Riibdiydt of Omar Khayyam FDHEWDRD Here and there throughout this book we have quoted from Edward Fizgerald ' s translation of The Rubaivat of Omar Khayyam, but we have used the wordage only— and that in an external and superficial sense. Catholic philosophy is the philos- ophy of neither Fitzgerald nor of Omar. We are the products of an educational system that teaches that one thing is certain : Life is but a means to an end, and that that end is the reason for our existence— to know, love, and serve God here on earth and afterwards to love and enjoy Him for- ever in Heaven. Page Tiro Yes, but where leaves the Rose of Yesterday? THE ALUMNAE DAUGHTERS Pictured here are close relatives among the student body of Sacred Heart ' s alumnae. They are called The Alumnae Daughters, and they have at functions of the Alumnae Asso- ciation certain privileges and duties. Some of these young ladies bear family names that were near and dear to Sacred Heart ' s faculty and students even in the davs before the present building was erected. In this group are several who are class officers or who have attained to one or other campus distinction during the past year or two.

CLASS HISTORY It was September, and Lillian and I were back at Sacred Heart for college. Although we have been here for a number of years, everything seemed different, as of course it should, since we were now college material— and rats! In time, however, we arose from this level and the year went smoothly on; Anne Galletta was elected our president, Lillian Applewhite our vice-president, Margaret McGerrigle our secretary, and Ann Connell treasurer. Before we realized it, it was time for the Thanksgiving holidays. We had no sooner returned to the campus than it was time for the Christmas Cotillion, and after this the Yuletide vacation was upon us! Everyone began the New Year with all sorts of resolutions— and oops! exam time was already here. These were difficult times, of course, but we managed not to be submerged and soon we were having gay times again: pep rallies, ball games, and dances. With the cuming of May the preparations for the May Festival were complete. As usual, it was a big success and Kathleen Neilson, our lovely Queen, presided over the campus. Then came June, and we gave the sophomores a banquet at Rozzell ' s Ferry in Mount Holly, after which followed enjoyment of the drama at the Little Theatre in Charlotte. The Alumnae Dance of the same month proved to be much fun, but it was also a sad occasion, since we had to bid farewell to our friends, the sophomores. Again September came along and with it many newcomers to our campus. Anne Galletta was elected president of our class, Joan Murphy vice-president, Winnie Rankin secretary, and Lillian Applewhite treasurer. As in our freshman year, the first semester was taken up with ball games, dances, and studies. The College Christmas Party was, of course, among the most successful of our social affairs. Time seemed to be more than ever on the wing, and again it was time for the Christmas holidays. Margaret McGerrigle was chosen to be our May Queen, and a most beautiful une, indeed, was she. Soon after the festival, the freshmen gave us a delicious banquet, an affair which we will always remember in later years when our thoughts drift back to our Alma Mater. Graduation was a happy occasion, but it was a time filled with much sadness. Some of us were finishing school forever, and all of us were leaving Sacred Heart. Never again would we reside here as anyone but guests, and we find now that June, glorious month and all as it is, is not without its shades of sadness. No sunshine, somehow, can dispel those shadows. Thev are part of that change which is the very essence of life, and there is nothing to do but accept it and be thankful for the sunshine while the sunshine lasted. Anne Galletta, class historian. Page Twentx-funr UttBHBB LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the graduating class oF Sacred Heart College, being in the year of Our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-nine and before it, of sound but rather (at the moment) tired mind, do find it proper to bequeath our diversified knowledge, our willingness to co-operate in any worthwhile endeayor, and our superior personalities to those who follow us. We do this solely in the hope of the fulfillment of our dream for a happier and more securely peaceful world. Article I To the faculty we leave the joy and delight of knowing in the years to come that we shall always be grateful for their patience in endeavoring to educate us truly. Article II To the Freshman Class we leave our zeal for greater knowledge and higher learning. Article III To Joan Applewhite, I, Jean Lewis, bequeath my opportunity for trips to Carolina to see Johnnv. May she have as good a time as I did! I, Joan Murphy, do will part of my drv wit (I need the other part) to Fave Setzer. I, Shirley Owen, do leave my chair on the back row in Psychology Class to Peggy Neill. Don ' t fall asleep, now! You ' ll learn a lot back there. I, Nancy Hager, do leave mv job as caretaker of the kindergarten to anyone who is brave enough to take it. Good luck! To Dolores Breaux, I, Anne Galletta, do will my long legs. Perhaps they will make her taller. In the meantime I, myself, shall sit and watch the world play with the idea of the atomic bomb, and, maybe, afterwards with the thing itself. To Jeri Carbonetti, I, Annette Huckans, bequeath my loye for going to the movies. Be sure thev are good movies, though, and on the A List! I, Marv Ann Rice, do will and bequeath my quiet and reserved manner to Frances England. I, Margurite George, do leave my secret admiration for a certain Abbey boy to anyone who can find out his name. Start guessing. Freshmen! To Marv Evelyn Alexander, I, Ann Pinkston, do will and bequeath mv dignity and sophistication. You have a good start. Make the most of it! I, Margaret McGerrigle, do leave mv ability to take things calmly to anyone who feels the need of it. First come, first served, of course. To Jane Cloninger, I, Anne Connell, do will mv love for moonlight picnics. Be sure to carry a flashlight, though. The moon might not be bright enough. To Jan Reynolds, I, Mary Frohlich, do will and bequeath all mv mixed-up love affairs. Maybe— I said MAYBE!— you can straighten them out. After that vou can keep them. I, Lillian Applewhite, do will mv love for dancing to Jane Lewis. More power to you in fighting off the stag line! I, Kittv Moore, hand down the tradition of riding through the Abbev campus and tooting the horn to Betty Thomas. Those poor boys need a break! Given from our hand on this, the tenth day of May, 1949. Winnie Rankin, testator Page Twenty-five PROPHECY Though we say Time marches on, we know that it is not really Time that .marches but ire; and as we march we realize that there is much more time for our future than there has been for our past. (We hope!) We wonder, naturally, what will fill that vast seemingly-interminable stretch ahead of us. Will the shadows be mere shades to offset the sunlight, or will the sunlight be a noonday glare or the firs, touches of the halo of the dawn? Of course, as Prophet of the Class of ' 49 I know ALL the answers. Opening the Book of the Future i see on page one our May Queen of 1949, Margaret McGerrigle, trying to keep an eye on each of her six children and accomplish the dish-washing as well. She ' s as pretty as ever, though, and seems extremely happy. Why doesn ' t somebody tell her now about Lux for dishpan hands? I must make a note of that. . . . Flipping over to page two f encounter Annette Huckans weeping as she spanks one of the first grade pupils who has just misbehaved in class. He is a cute little boy with black curly hair and big brown eves. Probably Annette would not have lelt half so bad about punishing that plain-looking redhead in Jie front row! Annette is quite a teacher they say. Page three reveals Anne Galletta has become a world-famous ballerina, who has graced every stage in Europe, as well as in this countrv. She is as graceful as ever and not at all vain of her success. 1 urning over to page four, I find Ann Connell, wife of a well-known band leader, singing in all the swankiest night clubs throughout the United States. What a surprise that is! At school she gave all her time to becoming proficient in Home Economics— and look at her— eating out every single night! Maybe, she helps the chef in-between times? But greater surprises are still in store for on page five I catch a glimpse of Kitty Moore, hustling and bustling about the kitchen of the Waldorf-Astoria in New York. She directs the traffic both on the stove and off. No wonder their plum pudding sauce is to become the wonder of 1960! On page six Mary Frohlich ' s picture discloses her pondering over the evidence of the murder of an important government official. Didn ' t you know that she is to become a member of the F.B.I.? Page seven gives a picture of Dr. Lillian Applewhite in an operating room sur- rounded bv ten assistants performing an operation that no other doctor has ever attempted. Lillian was always brave, though. On page eight is Mrs. John Worthington Wolhar (Jean Lewis), who has become the belle of New York society because of her celebrated cocktail parties. Mary Ann Rice has become a missionary to China, where she is trying desperately to teach the children the English language. Her Chinese is fluent enough. We find Nancy Hagar the manager and owner of an exclusive Women ' s Shop in Paris. She began as a designer. Ann Pinkston is well-known for writing the best-selling book of the year. It happens to be her ninth one, and she has already begun on a tenth. And we thought she was headed for the stage! Shirley Owen, Hollywood ' s greatest dramatic actress, is being presented with the Academy Award for her best picture, Too Many Loves. Joan Murphy is working in the little bookshop ' round the corner. Poor girl, she is almost blind from reading all the books that have not been sold! On the next to-the-last page of the book is Margurite George, busily pecking on a typewriter. She is secretary to her husband, a big bank executive. On the very last page, slowly fading from view, I find that the future makes my greatest dream come true . . . And so as I close the Book of the Future we march on, ready to face what lies ahead of us in our 1 omorrow. Mary Frohlich, class prophet.

CLASS HISTORY How the vears have flown! Omar ' s bird, indeed, is on the wing, but what bird ever rested for long? It seems, indeed, that it was onlv vesterdav we entered high school; and, here we are, ready to receive a diploma for finishing it! We are glad, of course; but we shall miss Sacred Heart— our wonderful teachers, our classmates everyone here and everything about it! Remember our first year in high school, back in the fall of 1945? as we looked around at the unfamiliar faces and the new-to-us classrooms, we experienced a linge of anxiety. What did the next four years hold for us? A small part of it was disclosed a little later when Sister Angela took us into her office and told us what our subjec ' s the first year would be. Looking through our new books, we suddenly realized the fact that our grade-school davs were over and that we would have to buckle down and do some earnest studying, if we intended to pass. As the months passed, however, we discovered that high school was not all work. We were intro- duced to the Abbey bovs at the Introductory Dance. There were dances and ball games. In fact, we sponsored one of the former: we gave a Square Dance, which was highly successful. Almost before we knew it, the year was over and our davs as freshmen were no more. The next vear we returned to school as sophomores. Now we were a little wiser— or thought we were!— and we held our heads a little higher. Together with the honor of being raised to the second step towards graduation came more difficult subjects, a thing that meant studying more than we had in our freshman vear. That year we gave a lovely New Year ' s Dance, to which everyone came. Then— we were juniors! We realized from the very first that our iunior vear would be a very busv one. The Hallowe ' en Dance given bv our class and the Final Dance at the Abbey were among the most outstanding affairs of the year, and of course, we can ' t forget the wonderful time we had at the Lawn Party. However, none of these events could compare with the Junior-Senior Banquet and the dance after it. The summer vacation before our last vear, like all the vacations we have ever had, passed too quickly— much too quickly. But when we came back to Sacred Heart we were seniors. The brightness that shed itself over the whole vear was somewhat dimmed by the thought that it was our last year in school. We realized that after the final exams and Commencement Sacred Heart would be just a memory, but a memory fraught with all the connotations that surround the word home.

HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS In some ways the Junior Class is the most important. Jt comprises the up-and-coming group, young ladies about to be classed as seniors, not present recipients of the honors and still hardy and steady enough to bear the burdens that produce the honors. The hand that is about to stretch out to grasp the torch is a busy hand and has to be efficient in the accom- plishment of all-important affairs like junior-senior banquets, final dances, and the like. The juniors are Helen Ruth Anderson, Janet Breaux, Janice Breaux, Betty Lou Cook, Virginia Varis, Iris Frye, Avra Kyrus, Magda Martinez, Claire Morrison, Barbara Roebuck, Mary Evelyn Thomas, Nancy Beatty, Joan Coins, Donna Mills, Maria Mitchell, and Macie Collins.

Above, our senior chauffeur, Lorinda Willms, takes over the management of our station wagon before driving it to Belmont Abbey, from where some members of our faculty commute daily. It is a pleasant chore, and Lorinda looks happy about it. The lure of the roads, even with the prospect of the lure operating only in between classes, constitutes an appeal to all of us. Page Thirty-seven . And many a knot unraveled by the road. ' RELIGION CLASS The Catholic college graduate knows that she will be more rigidly scrutinized for faults than will other college graduates. For her, and in her, education is the development of the whole being, soul as well as bodv. She is meant ultimately to represent the accumulation ol a heritage that has been tended lor centuries by Catholic priests and nuns, whose lives have been given to maintain it, whose sole business it is to cherish it. Here Religion is studied more avidly than it was in the grades and in high school for its perennial attractiveness is enhanced by a clearer understanding and a more mature regard. Pntje Thirty-eigfat M mi«. IM mam And up and down by Logic I define. 5 PHILOSOPHY CLASS These collegians, seeking under expertly-trained teachers the why ' and the wherefore of life and its connotations, are helped to garner a rich harvest of leadership in the years to come. Taught the true moral standards of Christianity, they will help to bequeath to future generations a world of greater stability and love. They are trained to apply in the business world and in the world of the home the principles of Ethics, to bring into their associations with others fair play and honesty. They are led out of the quagmire of false and shallow thinking to a clear appreciation of the nature of things as they are, and of the subservience of all creatures to the supreme Being, God. Pa2,e Thirty-nine And heard great argument about it, and about AMERICAN GOVERNMENT CLASS Government by its growing importance in our economic and cultural relations has made this study imperative. The objectives are: knowledge of the theory and practice of our national and state government, apprecia- tion of the aims so nobly expressed in the Preamble to the Constitution ; the arousing of a deep personal interest in present-day events and the prob- lems involved; and the keen realization that these are but the superficial manifestations of the deeper moral and spiritual issue— the dignity of man.

By all appearances, the subject being discussed above is more than ordinarily profound and more than ordinarilv interesting. Page Yort -one Here with a book of verse beneath the bough . . Here both freshman and sophomore English classes are seen enjoying the session in Sacred Heart ' s beautiful out-of-doors. Above, the Sophomore Class ponder the beauty of a sonnet or enshrine in the memory some exquisite bit of prose. Below, a composition class listens to the day ' s assignment. (Nothing in a beautiful setting ever sounds too calamitous!) Page Forty-two - (( Unborn Tomorrow and dead Yesterday ' ' HIGH SCHDDL ENGLISH CLASSES But the high school students enjoy no such privilege as out-door perusal of the classics, and here we find them cabbined, cribbed, bound in by four walls and some doors. Concentration, however, seems steady and the enjoyment, we would judge, is not a whit diminished. Shakespeare is Shakespeare anywhere, and is always enjoyed. Page Forty three c c . . The secret of my life to learn. ' THE BIDLDGY CLASS The members of the Biology Class never seem to weary of their findings via the miscroscope, nor of the pursuit of the same, which precedes the same. Most of us, however, envy them their field trips— and what an area for exploration the beautiful environs of Sacred Heart constitute! Sometimes it is the fields, sometimes it is the woods, sometimes it is the 1 lower garden. Whatever the spot, it is well-beloved because it spells for the explorer a kind of vacation period, but a vacation brimmed to the limits with knowledge newly-gained and findings as old as the world, perhaps, hut exquisitely new to the finder.

Work accomplished at the blackboards is easily understandable to those at their seats, and many a mistake calls quick attention to itself in another s work that would be mystifying on the home front. The instructor from her advantageous stand in the back of the room keeps an eye on all concerned and knows when a particular weakness-or a strength-must be aired or exploited. Page Forty-five a . .

COMMERCIAL CLASS Our Commercial Class is composed of busy young ladies, whose hands, guided by alert minds, have attained proficiency in the arts of agility and precision. Here is more than meets the eye. Our Business Course has many branches, and calls for skill in many lines. Bookkeeping and stenography are both intricate, and require strict application for their mastery, besides a good background in English grammar and composition, while typing connotes more than mere finger performance, and in its highest achieve- ment presupposes a disciplined mind as well as hand.

STUDY CLUB This is the second year of the existence of the Study Club, an organiza- tion for Catholic students begun by, and still under the direction of our Chaplain, the Very Reverend Sebastian Doris, O.S.B. The meetings are bi-weekly and attendance at them is obligatory on none. Matters pertaining to the Catholic Faith are discussed and many reports made by the students themselves. We are very proud of our Study Club and the young ladies fortunate enough to benefit bv this special religious instruction are well aware, as are others, of the great good it has effected on the campus. Page Fifty M Some for the Prophet ' s Paradise to come. • ■ SODALITY OF CHILDREN DF MARY Of no organization of hers is Sacred Heart as proud as of her Sodality of the Children of Mary. Devotion to God ' s Mother has ever been an outstanding feature of the true Catholic; hence it is that most Catholic young ladies are consecrated to Mary, Mediatrix of all graces and Model of Catholic ladyhood. One of the loveliest events of the springtime is the May Procession, which climaxes a month of special devotion to the Blessed Mother, during which time special prayers are recited at the Shrine each evening and the well-beloved Maytime hymns are sung.

This year the Sacred Heart Echoes and the Alumnae News were merged, a circumstance due to the increased cost of printing. Page Fifty-two And those that after some tomorrow stare. THE GRADATIM STAFF In one of the parlors of the Administration Building the yearbook staff plans the 1949 annual. After a series of writes and rewrites, picture- takings and solicitations of advertisements, the yearbook emerges: not as we had hoped, perhaps, but the best that could be done by a small group in a world of vastly-increased prices of both printers and engravers. The staff comprises (from left to right), seated, Kitty Moure, Mt. Holly, snapshot editor: Winnie Rankin, Gastonia, editor-in-chief; Lillian Applewhite, Caro- lina Beach, assistant editor; ' back row) Ann Connell, Mt.

' GLEE CLUB Under the direction of Mr. D. A. Smith, Belmont, N. C, our Glee Club has made much progress, a fact proved by the most successful performances given several times during the past year by its members. Several young ladies in this group take voice lessons from Mr. Smith. Two of these won unusual recognition this year when they were chosen for special parts by the Auditory Board of The Opera in Concert Group in connection with the Charlotte Music Club.

These young ladies come from many parts of Cuba, from Guam, from Guatemala, and from the Bahamas. They are highly appre- ciative of the opportunity their parents have afforded them of continuing their education in America and are highly intelligent and thus able to profit by such an opportunity. Their presence in our school tends to make us more practically interested in the great brotherhood of mankind, that is today ' s greatest need. Page Fifty-nine «nujjuwiiuiiiiJjj irav!J!
