1 l O' CALL BACK YESTERDAY. -Richard II aC OULD you please tell me where room 105 is? Is the 400 gym in the annex? Does this place have elevators? Why can't I use the tunnel? How do I get out of the boys' gym? Freshies! We were just plain freshies who entered the doors of Southern in September, 1942. Who could have known then that in the drab, old, unfriendly building were to be spent the most memorable days of our lives. Our lirst day was spent meeting our school officers and our principal, Miss Ruth Wagner, whose guidance, love, and sincerity brought us through our first year. The school clap still rings in our ears from that Hrst hour in the auditorium. We started oif with a bang with the everfsweet Margherita Ferrara as president and Miss Julia Anderson as sponsor. There weren't many afterfschool activities, getting familiar with the school was enough. But then the day came when we weren't freshies anymore! We were senior freshies! How very big we felt when the new batch of girls came in, and we were telling them where to find the 400 gym and that room 105 was around the corner, two doors on the right. The new term brought in new oflicersg Rae Cicchetti as presif dent, Janet Alberts as secretary, and Sonia. Sokoloff as A. A. form representative. Our studies took up 'plenty of our time nowg but with the help of our leaders, we came out FIRST in our FIRST FUN FROLIC! Then, another new term and exaltation! We weren't freshies anymore, not even senior freshies! We were Juniors! Seventeen
