»v.v.v.v ■Xyxx-rvx-x+xx-: CLASS HISTORY Way back In the '33's and '34's a group of friskle little tots: Dorothy Snedeker, Dorothy Hughes, Inice Griffis, Virginia Deaver, Colleen McNertney, Tom Podhaieky, Junior Essay, and Bernard Girard, along with the others, started on the long road to graduation. New pupils came, Iela Mae Klatka, in the fourth grade; Marjorie Butler in the fifth, and Bernedine Flaherty in the eighth. They recall the little Rhythm Bend in the first grade and the Hiawatha Cantata in the eighth besides Jolly parties and games, and the routine of study. 1941 found us gathered in the Freshman clase with Sister Caritas as our clase teacher when Pete Becker, Catherine Sherlock, Jackie Posvar Geraldine Freimuth, and Mary Frances Reynolds entered. We sold the most tickets for the Fantasy of the Passion, presented by the Seniors of '42 end won a free day. During this year Father Manning was invested as a Monslgnor; Father Kaprowskl entered the Army, and Father O'Neill took charge. On December 8th we were received into the Sodality of Our Lady. Then came our Sophomore year under Sister Christiana's direction with Kitty Lou Buchflnck, Lois Grabher, Frances Haskins and Meraldeen Klrchner as new members. A memorable afternoon in February was dedicated to George Washington. In this year famous Father Flanagan from Boys Town came to visit. As Jolly Juniors we proceeded rapidly under the guidance of Sister Ita. Mother Virginia took Mother Elma's position, and with Mother's help- ing hand end Father Kosiba's assistance, we had an increase of activities and parties. The most outstanding event was the Junior-Senior Prom. Dur- ing this year Molly Oldt left and Pat Copple came. At last we had reached the long awaited Senior year with Doris Freimuth, who skipped the Junior year, as a new member. All missed Sister Edmond who had been called to her heavenly home during the summer. Father Kosiba was transferred to Chadron, and Father Wacjkus took his place. As this goes to press, we are looking forward to the Junior-Senior Prom, to cur Outing Day, Class Night, and finally, Graduation. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-six of Saint Agnes Academy, realizing that our oualnt individualities will constantly be remembered as we leave sweet memories along the halls of Saint Agnes, draw up this last will and testament for the benefit of our heirs, the lower classmen. We leave to them such characteristics, eccentricities, and collected possessions as we hope will better their future and further their success. To Mother Virginia we leave our best wishes and sincere gratitude for all her efforts in our behalf. To all the Sisters we beoueathe the promise of brighter days, restful nights, and peaceful dreams as we rid them of the worries that have been theirs for the past years, as well as a promise to live up to the ideals pointed out to us. To the Juniors we leave our dignified manners, good reputation and useful knowledge. To the Sophomores we leave our ability to carry on worthwhile sodality meetings. To the Freshles we leave the brighter days when they shall have gained the title of worthy Sophomores. To Coach Todd and his team we leave our hearty congratulations for winning the Class C Tournament and all other victories throughout the year. We leave all our music talent individual and combined as well as our superior ratings to new comers to the Music Department. To certain individuals we pass on our fads, ldlosyncrocies, and other odds and ends.The names of these fortunate heirs will be announded later Given at ST. AGNES ACADEMY April 1, 1946 The Seniors (
