Then at last, a moment that beggars all description - Yes, our junior year was a year filled with names, names that only served to call to mind the memory of a friend . . . Among the names that linger is that of a pretty girl who loved curls even if it took several thous- ands bobby pins to make them. Who else could this be but JANE SHINE? We were often amused at MAU- REEN CANTERBURY, living on Shakespeare Avenue and still maintainin she was Irish. JOAN DE TORRES always seemed to miie a joke last longer with her laughter. Some of us got asked to proms that year but lots of us didn't, so there was company either way. HELEN DI FRANCIA was one of the lucky ones. Cinderella had a waming about midnight, but if she had CECELLA PIPCINSKYS compact alarm clock, she would never have lost that slipper. we got our rings. That is how each class comes to feel about the ring but ours was somehow different. For us, it was a bond between us and our school but it was more - it was the quintessence of all we found at Marmion. lt was the ring we would always wear with pride. Now as we look at it, we begin to remember how delighted we were that it arrived just in time for the boatride to Bear Mountain with Fordham Prep. ANNETTE D'ANDREA was helped on board very dramatically b a member of the crew. MAUREEN GILL missed the boat altogether. After the boatride the year seemed to disappear - a snowman dwindling in the Spring sunshine. Every hour brought us closer to our goalg every action was a step nearer. Sodalists realized it more quickly than most. Our past prefect who brought us closer to Our Lady in her spontaneous manner formally handed over the symbols of office. BARBARA PIEROTTI was our new prefect. MARION KENNY became the head of the CYA at Marmion. Soon, soon, it would be our turn but still there was a sense of reluctance. Were we ready? Whether we felt it or not, there could be no turn back now. We watched May Day for the last time as underclassmen. Then lhe class of '55 graduated. They had been friends and we missed them. And now there was only a short part of the road to travel for at last we were Sen- iors. During the summer we planned and dreamed, Want- ing to fill our last year with all the joys and the laughter that Heaven could instill so that our school would truly be our enchanted Marmionf' Page This year seemed to go ever so quickly and suddenly it was Valentine's Day, the traditional time for the Jun- ior Tea Dance. It was our first, and a few of us went all out for decorating. Deciding that red walls would be in keepin with our theme, we asked and permission was granted provided we had them back to green by Mon- day morning. The project was discarded. We had a wonder- ful time- and took pictures to put in our wallets. It was still Winter, so FRANCES TYSON was the envy of the class when she headed down to Florida. Some of us had talent and the literary endeavors of EILEEN CURRAN proved distracting. When the cold March winds blew, we knew it was parade time. PEGGY BUCKLEY became famous for her marching style. On our way down to the tennis courts for practice one morning MARY CARDEN introduced us to a new beau - The Irish Soldier Boy. We practiced with purpose, and finally the bi day came and we marched with pride. Even when BARBARA DONOHUE lost her shoe, we just smiled a little, looked ahead, and kept in step. Yes, we looked ahead for the Seniors were leadin us but many of us mused about the past three years ancf thought with mingled regret and excitement Our turn next. S9
