Junior Class-Preparing to Be Tip-Top Leaders JUNIOR CLASS Led capahly hy llelen Roos, president, Janet lfdwards, vice-president, with Mildred Feneak serving as secretary-treasurer, the juniors have had a very active year. Honoring the class colors, Green and Gold, the yellow tea-rose as class Flow- er, and the appropriate motto VVork and Pray at S.B.A. , the girls have striven with a maximum amount of energy to reach their final goal, seniordom. Swinging into action for the Lamplighter Ball in the beautiful setting of the South Hills Country Cluh, the juniors worked with feverish heat selling tickets and soliciting patrons. Their zealous endeavors were also exhibited in the success of the class play, ,lessica's Journeyv. The class managed to reach a much desired peak in forensic activities for several first and second places of honor in speech tournaments were won hy junior girls. Other activities were the pagan hahy and the Christmas seal drives, selling chances for the S. B. A. Grand Drawing, making a number of field trips, and, last but not least, entertaining the Class of '47 at a festive banquet. The juniors of today have only the goal to go to put the grand finale on a worthwhile high school career. lfoi Rin Ron: Dorothy Seethaler, Jeanne Donovan, Nancy Aaron, Nlary june Davin, Mary Rita Heim, Nlary .Xdda liusse, Aleanne Arch, Nlary Binder, Betty Brown, Betty Bachmeyer. llilllkll Row: Patricia Bailey, Geraldine Nlaek,Joanne Steiner, Dolores Brown, Sarah -lane flahn. llelen Uechslein, Dolores Horan, Mary l.owrie, Val jean llalhedl, Lois Maloney, Margaret :Xnn Benedict, Ruth Xlages, .Xudrey l,onih.

Sophomore Class-Climbing with Colors Flying SOPHOMORF CLASS With the motto Keep On Keeping On , members of the sophomore class elected to manage their affairs of state Louanne Barberie, Rosemary Hunkele and Pauline Bradley. The former trembling freshmen had become poised sophomores. Under the patronage of the Blessed Virgin and with the aid of the home room teachers, Sr. Augusta and Sr. Berchman, the girls showed themselves willing to contribute their talents towards class projects. On September 17, they indulged in youthful frolic hy masquerading the 136 freshies in queer raiment and signs through St. joseph Park. 'lihe next liig yen- ture was the 'lCupid's Hop at Hotel Henry. Members of the sophomore drama- tics club spent weeks in preparing to present scenes from Shakespear's Merchant ol' Venice for the Parent Guild meeting in Dlanuary. They also prepared a spe- cial program in honor of St. Benedict which consisted of a panel discussion on, and sketches from, the life of the Saint. 'lihe sophs also devoted their energies to the various drives and the sale of chances which S. li. gk. sponsored during the course of the year. With one hall of their high school career completed, the girls eagerly await the honor of being upper elassmen. 29
