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.

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.

YVe watched the class of '56 closely dur- ing the festivities that always mark lN'lay and June, knowing the next time it would all be for us, and not sure that we wanted it to come so soon. The crowning of Our Lady and the crowning of our May Queen, Barbara Boyce, closed Marys month. Iune was busting out all over with parties for seniors and honors galore as Class Day awards and the senior review marked the end of another senior year at Marmion. Gerry Lyons distributes balloons at Senior party juniors and beans take time out for a picture at Mariacolle dance Commencement exercises at which Bishop Pernicone presided, was a time of mixed regret and joy For the graduating class. Later in June, during a retreat at Nlary- mount, we chose our Maricol '57 theme and began to look ahead.
