Party ended our first year at the Academy, not with- out a minor difficulty however - the problem of pronouncing .DOMINICA CINQUECRANAE name properly. We saw our first May Day and our Senior Sisters graduated . . . We returned to Marmion as Sophomores. Now we were ready to conquer all the new worlds to be had, or so we thought, till Reverend Mother decid- ed it best to save our worthy ambition for such en- counters as are found in becoming acquainted with Biology, Ccometry, and World History. HELEN EELICIANO fell in love with her first frog in the lab. IXIARY PILONE, who never had the stamina for major operations , abandoned her frog for one of her famous heroes , but Biology made a hit with the majority of the class for again, it was something new, a new experience, another piece in our grow- ing mosaic. Down in the cafeteria was the backbone of our class, the girls who took care of the f-o-o-d. MARI- LYN ZAMBELLO, we always wanted to know Who washed the dishes when you were at the Tea Dances? ELEANOR LEE proved to be the busi- ness woman of the group when her profits on potato chips never showed any loss. Varsity welcomed the bouncy CERRY LYONS in second year, and pert GLORIA VALENTI became one of our cheerlead- ers to help boost the Varsity's spirit. Our talent seemed endless, for MARIE ROVET and MARY ANN RELLA gave us many a chuckle with their Abbott 8: Costello routines. Marie branched out as a single later on, and we enjoy remembering her comedy in our Song Contests. Speaking of Song Contests - we have vivid memories of our Flower Carden. VVell - we tried! We have a feeling that MARY MEANY will binds together now always have a devotion to the Student Council, and ANN DALY will remember her lady's spring for many moons, in connection with the Song of Bernadette. Success came to Choral Club too, for Marmion won the cup at the Catholic Music Festi- val in Town Hall for the second time. Our Sag Harbor Retreat was a new experience, and it appeared that the Long Island air filled our previously quiet classmates with loads of mischief. ,ANN MARIE KENNEY brought fudge, thereby introducing us to her culinary art, but BONNIE MUELLER exhibited another type of skill, con- tinental too, called ufrenching zee beds. DORO- THY VOCEL amazed us with her very candid photos at the most surprising times, and as a result, we needed a rest from the Retreat. Second year introduced Marmion to Forensic League, and thereby hangs the tale of LORRAINE IESINKEY's volunteering for membership in the League. So ended the period when we were con- sidered babies. VVe were now . . . JUNIORS! And junior year seemed to arrive almost too quickly. In our new uniform suits, we climbed the now familiar hill, and we fondly re- member the day EILEEN KIESEL baptised her uniform in the fishpond at the gardens We began the year with the Song Contest, when VERNA ILARDI and ROSE FANIZZI showed an aptitude for baseball, and we pause to humbly mention that we won. just good Show Business, and the memory of a pleasant trip with

CLASS HISTORY Some pieces of a mosaic are beautiful alone, ile others require dependence before achieving l beauty. We too, the class of 1957, combine the erdependence of personality, situation, friend- 'p, and unity, to complete the mosaic which is the duct of our four years at S I-l M. The first time we climbed the hill to our ademy, most of us wondered what would lie in re for us in the next four years. Dreams of col- e and careers were safely tucked away in the fu- re then, and now as we look back, we appreciate e varied titles Freshman year added to our mosaic. all began at Initiation. JEANETTE MCDONALD, Cno relation, sor- D made her debut that day on the campus when e class of '57 appeared in the regalia so ingeni- sly devised by our Senior Sisters. We found at we -were chock full of talent, the makings of e best class ever, at Marmion. CAROL DANY- K's sweet voice entertained us often, but soon e were in the swing of things, and Latin, Science, d Business Training were new realities - and rhaps realities that some of us, ostensibly, could without. VVe started to know our classmates bet- r, and ELLEN IGOE, showing ambition for .Y.A. even then, was elected class president. Time emed to fly, slowing down for such occasions as r Song Contest, Depot and more successfully, the Digest Drive. Soon it was Christmas, and our st Bazaar at Marmion. No one appreciates the tter as much as Tl-IERESA DEVANEY, daugh- r of the local A. 8: P. manager. The Memory of each event l V Clubs were beginning to catch our eye too, and CAROL DALY, already famous for her Gleason Clide , made Varsity, while seven other Frosh made -LV. MADELEINE GRACE was the only Frosh in Dramatic Club that year, when she exhibited quite a taste for mens trousers. ANN MILLER be- came part of the Library Staff, where she's spent many happy hours since. We had a few more addi- tions to our class - from out in the hills of Long Island. Among them were IEAN DALRYMPLE and PAT DONADIO. Again we began the race of exams, clubs, and fun. Our Freshman-Senior

MARY E KENNEDY for tuxedos. The Digest Drive was as successful as ever and for our tradi- tional party in celebration of our victory, we wel- comed MICI-IALYN CAROEALO and her famous pizzas to the fold. MARJORIE TAGLIENTE en- tertained us with stories of driving her own car. VV as that a Digest Drive prize too, Margie? It was a year of travel for some, as ANN MARIE KENNEDY, ELEANORE THOMP- SON, and TERRY MUNOZ Cwho went nautical at one pointi were among the group visiting VV ash- ington, D. C., for the week-end. Remember the lady who couldn't stan' awl that noise cuz she had to get up at seven o'clock in the mawin'? The Capitol was duly impressed, we think, with MAU- REEN HALLINAN, who performed the oddest trick of Hbedpost-walking at 2:00 A.M. MARYANN POWERS spoke softly and carried a big stick for some, but we remember her only as all the memories our baby when the entire class gave her a surprise party for her birthday. Clubs, once again in full swing, proved more populated than ever by the class of '57, for time was a quick drying glue, cementing the pieces of our mosaic ever nearing completion. Our Hearts Were Young and Cay was more than just the title of the Cenesian's play, and we presented an operet- ta too, The Captain of the Cuardn in which LIN- DA SPARK gave us some of her fine ballet work. The Rose Hawthorne Unit skillfully made cancer pads for the sick, and we're certain that KATH- LEEN MURRAY made hers mathematically, while LINDA SCHRODER had an eye to her future medical career. Speaking of careers, we wonder if ANN CONROY will choose Journalism, after the Catholic Institute of the Press course! Our rings arrived - pledge of the future.
