of our high school mosaic CAROL and MARY MURPHY became B. A. stars, while IDA MINCHELLA and MARIANNE MYERS found an interesting study of weeds at Botanical Gardens one day. MAUREEN O'SI-IEA joined a crew of snow-shovellers on St. loseph's Feast Day. We don't know how much good it did her scholastically, but she has muscles! Of course we had our own kind of -fun - not planned by our teachers, For example, EILEEN MOODY was president of the after school bowl- ing club and nobody moved 'cause it was Rock and Roll when MARY JANE CRONIN was near, and BARBARA BURKE ubeggin' ya to go down to Ira's. EILEEN ENCEL engaged in a most provocative incident with a friend named Bruno at Columbus Circle, while BRENDA MONTI had a peculiar aversion to our class statue wihch she periodically knocked out the window. Brenda also had a special talent with whipped cream which LOUISE APUZZO found catching, Faculty Persecution Week was inaugurated by Pl-IYLLIS MACK, assisted by JUDY RUTTIN- 5 1 GER, and every able-bodied Iunior. We tried I patience of our saintly Faculty with every trick could think of, but the climax came wli IEANNE PLUCHINO hid in the closet for entire period, and most of the class mysteriously c appeared for Steno. Cur Father-Daughter dar was a memorable event. So were our Mariacc dances and our Junior Tea Dance. We were gro ing up quickly now, and even we ourselves beg to see the emerging pattern of our mosaic. Y could not see the completion of our Marmion n saic, but we knew it would come - sooner th we liked. Dreams of the Prom and Graduation we emerging from the mists of some day and we now next yearn - that exciitng yet troubling tir when we would be Seniors. A

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. I As far as the studies went, two Irishmen,

which we drafted Group of Seniors join in fun after the Catholic Yearbook Conference at Fordham Since its founding, S.H.M. has been a member of the Catholic Yearbook Conference. ln the Spring of '56 we attended the all day clinic held at Ford- ham. There we learned a great deal about the steps necessary to produce a good yearbook and were proud- to find that our Maricol meets the standards. Vvatching the installation of Sodality officers for our Senior year, we were conscious again of our mosaic taking form, nearing completion. A jaunt' to famed Botanical Gardens provided the setting for some of the informals to be used in our Maricol.
