TREASURER Girl CATHERINE HAAS SECRETARY Secrettaryl of success Dotes on: Orchids PATRICIA FRANKE VICE-PRESIDENT Promethean Pet Peeve: Bonnie Bake: GLORIA ROSSINI PRESIDENT Dream on Theme song: Dark Eyes Open Letter to the Seniors Dear Class of '4O: There's an old saying to the effect that we never appreciate things until they are gone. That's very true. but we didn't realize it before, or we would have told you that though we are underclassmen lmad youthl, we do think you're all splendid. Last year you were just those juniors g now you're seniors that rule the school. CI could say something about an iron hand in a velvet glove-but I won't.J It appears that from the jumbled assortment of uniforms, legs and lipstick, you've assembled one hundred fifty-two personalities, not just persons. True, you will fade sooner or later from the minds of us youngsters, but at alumnae meetings it'll be something like this: .... Class of '4O! Oh, yes, wasn't that the class that put the Iournal on its feet? .... and weren't you the hostess to the Catholic Press Meet, and didn't you .... and so far, far into the night. Even we can't forget those things, and we'l1 remember for a mighty long time the gentle reticence of your valedictorian, the pertness of your salutatorian, the energy of your editor, your light-hearted songbird, the melodious strains from your violinist, the intelligence of your class, the excuse of your prize dodger, the unusual voices of certain imps, and ever so many other things. fFor further data we refer to the Memory File O-HUM. years 1936 to 1940.3 Then, there's another way of looking at it. You came, you saw, but you were conquered by the spirit of S. I. A.-a spirit that laughed while it Worked, a spirit that did things quickly yet quietly, a spirit that still teaches us how to live. And so-Goodbye, Class of '4O! Sincerely yours, Class of '41. P. S. For the privilege of knowing real seniors, Thanks, awfully! Mary Rose Buckley, Secretary.
