Class Calendar FRi:sHMi3N QSPRINGQ Spring is the ti111e of all green and growing things. Nature prepares Mother earth for her spring plowing and cultivation. Violets begin to wake from their long winter's sleep. Buds begin to shoot forth from the trees and leafy boughs soon take the place of barren limbs. Busy hands plant seeds in rows by the garden wall or fence and along the garden path. What can be more fitting, then, that we, as Freshmen, should be compared to this season of the year. We, too, like the seed and soil were ready for new cultivation of mind and heart, for new growth, when we entered the portals of B. A. four years ago. Hlsrokv-1938-1939 September 7 was indeed a memorable day for us twenty-three wide-eyed Fresh- men as we took our places among the students of Saint Benedict's Academy. How the very thoughts of initiation chilled us to the bone. Being anxious to have our class' name in the limelight we organized two Clubs, the Catholic Action Club, with Mary Kunzler as president, and the Sports Club, with Grace Burkhart as president. The Science Club was organized under the sponsorship of Sr. Pauline. These clubs not only widened our knowledge but made us more active and ener- getic in attacking new things. Father Luke, O.S.B., who conducted the annual retreat at Saint Benedict's, left us feeling holier and happier. In our Hrst assembly we presented, CAMOUFLAGE to the student body, and it predicted the future dramatic ability of the Seniors of '42, Sister lgnatia, our home room teacher, introduced us to high-school life. Tears dim our eyes even now when we recall the day we buried Qwith ceremonial rightsj the little tadpoleP?? How well we re- member our Midget Orchestra directer by Sr. Mary Grace and the recitals con- ducted by Dr. Raticus. The latter were most enjoyable treats. Mercedes Klier, as class president, led us successfully to the harbor of our Freshman endeavors. SOPHOINIORE fSUMMER, Glorious Summer! We, as fruits and fiowers, merged from buds to strong and healthy plants with our roots fixed firmly in the ground of acquired knowledge and virtue. We held our heads high and we kept the stalks that supported them very straight. We eagerly awaited for our Junior Year. F HISTORY-l 939-l 940 Upon returning to school in September we girls, now Sophomores, decided to promote the Sports Club with more vigor than we had the preceding year. The reason? We wanted more activities outside the regular routine of school work. We initiated the Freshies and provided a fine entertainment for the occasion. We were the guests of Ruth Marie Hahn. She proved a very charming hostess, and so we all had a very enjoyable time, lunching, dancing, and playing games. As a class we visited the newly opened Buhl Planetarium, where we marveled at the wonders of the sky. A tour was also made of the museum to increase our knowl- edge of birds: but history, art, and scientific and biological objects proved more interesting. Father Hannon conducted our second retreat which all of us appre- ciated. Mary Elizabeth Patterson as president and Sr. Hildegarde as reporting teacher helped us to arrive at the door of Juniordom with vim and zest.
