When we had assembled we saw a number of faces we had not known in our grode school years. These new members of our class were Elsie Risse, Rita Sweeney, Nevo Sherlock, Edna Dillon, and Nora Manning. During that memorable year Mother Elmo was superior and Sister M. Antonella, principal. In more immediate command of our freshmen destiny was Sister M. Coritos who was our home room teacher. In the course of time we were duly submitted to the unforgettable experience of initiation by a group of glee- ful, yelling upperclassmen, who bore the awe-inspiring appellation of ''seniors . Their chief delight was putting un- fortunate victims through the spats. The effects of this were somewhat compensated for by the refreshments that were served ofterward. Since we were thus made true members of the high school student body, we began by making a good start on our four-yeor career. We elected class officers—Jim Stewart, president; Adair Longtin, vice-president; Lenore Rogers, Secretary; and Dick Jones, treasurer. Then we settled down to a comparatively routine high school life. Highlight of the year was a visit paid us by the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Flannaghan of Boys Town fame. He spoke to us of vocations. In September of the next year we again assembled this time in the sophomore room. We were now on the second lap of our high school career. Our new sponsor was Sister M. Christiana, who had been our teacher in English 1. Two new members. Bob Henderson and Margaret Partridge were added to the class. Jean Becker was elected presi- dent, George Burke, vice-president and Barbara Courtney, secretary-treasurer. During the summer vocation a change in administration had taken place. Mother Elmo was replaced by Mother Virginio, formerly of O'Neill, Nebraska. It was during this year and under Mother Virginia's supervision that the sodality program was extensively broad- ened by a series of social functions and sodality open-forum meetings. The sophomores conducted a number of social and interesting meetings. It was our class of 1944 that inaugurated the Football Queen election and crowning which is now an established tradition. Memorable event of the year was the presence of the Most Reverend Bishop Edward J. Hunkeler of Grand Island at a sodality meeting conducted by the sophomores. He gave us a short talk and great encouragement in our sodality activities. After that transitional year we were juniors—upperclassmen. One half of our journey had been completed. Our home teacher was Sister M. Ita, who had formerly been our biology and geometry instructor in our freshman and soph- omore years respectively. Two new students came into the class. These were Jean Kloch and Dorothy De Francesco. Class officers were Edna Dillion, president. Max Pozza, vice-president, and Elsie Risse, secretory-treasurer. The biggest event of the year was the Junior-Senior prom. Everybody had a good time and it was an all-round success. In the same year, Jim Stewart of the junior class was chosen to represent St. Agnes Academy at Boys' State, sponsored by the American Legion, at Lincoln, Nebraska. At last we reached the much anticipated goal—the senior class. Our home room teacher was Sister M. Lauris- sa, who came to St. Agnes from O'Neill, Nebraska, and was spending her first year here. Our number was increased by two members, Audrey Long from Casper, Wyoming, and Bennie Tryba from Grand Island, Nebraska, who, how- ever, left us again ot the end of the first semester. At the end of the third semester Adair Longtin moved to Cali- fornia. Our class officers were president, Darlene Beiber, vice-president, George Burke, and secretary-treasurer, Elsie Risse. A senior, Audrey Long, won the first prize in the Columbus essay contest sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. Another senior, George Burke, took second prize. Jacqueline Bachelor, a senior girl, was crowned Football Queen by Jim Stewart, a senior athlete, who was captain of the football squad. Two members of the senior class, Jim Girard and Darlene Beiber, were crowned King and Queen of Hearts respectively in a colorful ceremony at a Valentine's Day dance held in the Academy Auditorium. Biggest events of the year were sneak day and graduation. Now we look, not to the past, but to the future. CLASS MOTTO IMPOSSIBLE IS UN-AMERICAN Impossible Is Un-American ' the motto of the senior class of 1947, indicates the basic thought of youth all over the United States. As they take their places in the world tomorrow, this motto will serve them as a reminder towards the goal for which the world is striving—peace and security for nations without exception. CLASS COLORS CRIMSON AND SILVER The seniors of '47 chose os their own colors crimson and silver. Crimson symbolizes the immortal vitality of American youth. Silver stands for the high ideals we hove set for ourselves and hope to obtain. CLASS FLOWER AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE This beautiful flower thrives in rich soil sheltered from the wind. If placed in loose snil where the wind may reach it, will soon wither ar-d die. The flower opens very slowly, but when it has reached full bloom, its beauty and dignity is unsurpassed. The American rose is symbolic of our class. Planted in firm soil we have thrived with good and gentle Care. Our growth has been slow, but it has been complete. We hope thot our lives will be like the rose, a beautiful symbol. SENIOR THOUGHTS 'Twas a bright September morning That we started on our way. And we placed our foremost greetings At the doors of S. A. A. Now, there followed words and tables And the letters A to Z, Grammar's rules and their exceptions, And the dates in history. That our Latin was quite special Now to this we'll all agree. Oh! we did enjoy our physics. And we loved our chemistry. But for those days of toil and strife. Of joy and happiness, We wish to thank you, Alma Mater For all you've done for us. And as we travel on in life. If noble deeds we do, We'll know 'twas you thot guided us. And murmur thanks to you. OUR SODALITY The Sodolity of Our Lody is an association founded by the Society of Jesus ord ap- proved by the Holy See. It is o religious organization which aims ot fostering in its mem- bers on ardent devotion, reverence, ond filial love towards the Blessed Virgin Mary. To Jesus through Mary is the motto of the Sodolity ond great enthusiasm was shown by oil the Sodalists os they gathered before her shrine every first Friday and recited the Little Office in her honor. The classes took turns in preparing a weekly assembly during which they discussed the Sodolity in general and many social problems of the day. These discussions were all informative and interesting and settled many questions in the minds of the students. Nunc et in hora . . . Keep us close to you, Mary . . . now when we are steeped in many graces and opportunities . . . later when we have to depend on our spiritual reserve . . . and in that ultimate hour . . . the most precious and beautiful hour in our lives. PANEL DISCUSSION Adoir Longtin (not pictured), Dorlene Bei- ber, George Burke, Jomes Stewort ond Elsie Risse In this Round Toble discussion explained the Sodality rules to the other members of the student body.' This was a senior Sodality project. DEBATING TEAM Chairman, Rita Sweeney. Lenora Rogers, Edna Dillon—Affirmative. Darlene Beiber, Elsie Risse,—Negative. The Affirmative won!

Chairman: Jackie Bachelor ANNUAL The onnual staff has worked hard and long to pre- pare this record of class activities. To the graduates and hiah school students it will be a source of pleasant reminiscence. To others it may be a happy means of making new acquaintances and gaining knowledge concerning the students accomplishments. It is the hope of the members of the staff that its readers will derive as much pleasure from its per- usual as they have from preparing it for publication. SCHOOL PAPER The official organ of St. Agnes Academy, appropri- ately called Around School is an interesting and in- formative publication. It has been distributed weekly throughout this scholastic year and has disseminated all announcements concerning school activities, in addi- tion to the usual humor and news items of general in- terest contributed by the various departments and classes. The members who were actively concerned with its publication and those who gave it their moral support deserve commendation for making it a success. THE BLUE TEAPOT-A CONTEST PLAY Ma Brown, herself--------------------------------------------------------------ELSIE RISSE Pa Brown, himself________________________________________________________ CHARLES WETZLER Jimmy McNabe, an Orphan_____________________________________________________ JAMES GIRARD Cynthia, whom Jimmy loves --------------------------------------------------LENORA ROGERS Jimmy and Cynthia, two headstrong young moderns, hove been engaged, but they're quitting forever! For to Cynthia the thought of really having a home of her own is so marvelous that she wants everything in it to be perfect. To Jimmy, their home is a place to take all his treasures: worn-out story books, and a stuffed squirrel for the mantel. The quarrel has become really serious, and the dear old couple, Ma ond Pa, who love both the youngsters, are deeply troubled. Pa warns Ma not to try to patch things up—they'll see through her like a shot. But it's Ma who clears things up just the same—Ma and her blue teapot. FOOTBALL QUEEN On November 26, 1946, the Football Queen wos crowned at a formal dance held in the auditorium sponsored by the seniors. The candidates Jean Becker, Jackie Bachelor and Edna Dillon were close competi- tors, both in popularity and intelligence. The require- ments of the candidates were an overage of eigthy- five per cent in grades and four years ot Saint Agnes. The football team chose their Queen in strict confid- ence, thus creating curiosity throughout the school. Early in the evening the candidates received beautiful rose corsages. Later, Jim Stewart, football captain, announced and crowned their Queen, Jackie Bachelor. Jim, representing the team gave the Queen a dozen roses, which she in turn, presented to the Blessed Mother. KING AND QUEEN OF HEARTS On the evening of February twelfth the Sophomore class gave a delightful Valentine's party in the audi- torium. The most popular boy and girl were to be crowned King and Queen of Hearts. Everyone was in suspense wondering who the two lucky people would be. Finally the time came to onnounce the winners. DARLENE BEIBER wos our Queen of Hearts and JAMES GIRARD our King of Hearts. A beautiful corsage of red carnotions was presented to our new Queen; a white carnation was presented to our new King. The second in popularity were the Prince and Princess; the third, the Duke and Duchess; the fourth, Lord and Lady.

Reverend Father Woijckus and Coach Todd OUR FOOTBALL TEAM This year's Irish six-man football squad had winning ways on the grid. Their seven lettermen put on exhibitions of six-man football os it should be ployed. The Elue and White were alert to intercept passes as well os throw and receive their own forwards; they blocked and tackled with accuracy. Although they had a tough schedule, they came through with an exceptional record, six victories and one defeat. The Irish opened the 1946 season by possing their way to victory over St. Patrick's of Sidney, 15-6. The Blue and Whites defeated Broadwater, 27-12. The able squad notched another victory in their 1945 record who they trounced Mullen, 47-7. St. Patrick's of Sidney again bowed before the locals, 47-20. The Irish, undefeated so for, absorbed a bad beating before St. Patrick's of North Platte. 66-13. Broadwater a- rain foiled to ciash into the win col- umn as they fell before the Irish six who proved to be supreme as they nosed out Broadwater 37-18. St. Ag- nes ended its football season in tri- umph os she outlasted Dalton 1 1 -8. OUR 1947 CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM Frank Merriwell couldn't match the thrill of the last four minutes at Hay Springs Friday night, February 28, 1947, when St. Agnes Irish basketball team nosed out Harrison 34-33 to win the district Class C tournament. The Hny Springs tournament was the fourth for St. Agnes and the third win in a row. Coach Todd's proteges have earned for themselves a good record in fast competition. Orchids to them and to Coach Todd. The Hay Springs meet started mildly. St. Agnes nipped Hay Springs in the opener 41-20 with a minimum of fireworks. The next afternoon the Irish met Hemingford in the semi-finals. The rout of the Hemingford boys was terrific. Final, score was 56-25 and the Irish were never shorper than in this tilt. Every Irish player had a deadly eye and os a result the game was a free scoring affair. Todd's shock troops play- ed only two and one-half quarters and retired to let the reserves keep the meshes busy with field goals and free throws. That night the pay-off was due. Harrison had gone through its first two games with little trouble and were ready for the Alliance Irish squad. Their rugged defense and aggressive offense kept the Irish hustling every second; however during the fourth quarter, with only four minutes to go, St. Agnes had a three point lead. The score was 30-27 for the Irish. Then the teams broke out and the crowd started yelling in a chorus that didn't end until after the final gun. The Irish hod the ball. They kept outside the tight Harrison defense, worked the boll bock and forth and kept edging toward the Harrison bosket. All of a sudden Norky Newberry was all alone under the hoop and took o pass to tip in an easy two points. Harrison tore down the court and missed a try at the goal. The Irish took the ba-kboard rebound and worked down the floor. They used up about 40 seconds in this; then George Burke was under the basket and another two points were made. Score 34-30. With one mir.ute to go Harrison took the ball, tried a long shot and made it. The crowd screamed. Score 34-32. The Irish started out with the ball; Harrison was fouled by George Burke; they made the free one-point toss. Score 34-33. The Irish had the ball, McGinley started to dribble down a clear track but was too eager and fouled under the bosket as the whistle sounded for the end of the game. The score still 34-33. Reserve players of both teams were boiling out on the court. Coach Todd went out to congratulate his players on the victory when the referee told him Harrison had been fouled and had a free toss coming. A Harrison man went to the foul line and measured the basket with his eye. The hall was in an uproar. He tried for the toss and—missed. Final score 34-33 for the Irish and their third successive Class C tournament victory. St. Agnes Irish Cagers of 46 and '47 closed their fairly successful season with eighteen wins and twelve losses. Although the Irish had their ups and downs during the cage season they came out on top to win the CLASS C TOURNAMENT for their third straight year. The two years previous, however, found defeat for St. Agnes in the pjay- offs, but this year, 1947, the Irish beat Morrill High which_entitled them to that coveted trip to Lincoln for the STATE TOURNAMENT. Here they were defeated by Wilber High School; nevertheless St. Agnes Basketeers enjoyed the experience of play- ing in a State Tourney and they will never forget the excitement and thrills which the Lincoln game afforded them. Much credit is given to our senior cagers of '47 who wore the blue and white at Lincoln for the last time. They were George Burke, Jim Stewart, Dick Jones, Tom McGinley, Bob Henderson and Norman Newberry. These boys all played excellent basketball and deserve congratulations on a work well done. 1946-47 RECORD St. Agnes----------------------------26 St. Agnes_____________________________32 St. Agnes_____________________________24 St. Agnes----------------------------23 St. Agnes----------------------------20 St. Agnes----------------------------32 St. Agnes----------------------------32 St. Agnes____________________________52 St. Agnes___________________________ 48 St. Agnes____________________________41 St. Agnes----------------------------20 St. Agnes____________________________17 St. Agnes--------------------------- 28 St. Agnes____________________________29 St. Agnes----------------------------37 St. Agnes____________________________29 St. Agnes___________________________1 5 St. Agnes----------------------------37 St. Agnes----------------------------38 St. Agnes----------------------------46 St. Agnes____________________________56 St. Agnes____________________________65 St. Agnes____________________________19 St. Agnes____________________________47 St. Agnes____________________________27 Holy Rosary______________________________ 45 Gordon _________________________________ 24 Hoy Springs _______________________________6 Crawford __________________________________9 Chadron High ____________________________ 48 Hemingford ______________________________21 Harrison__________________________________34 Hay Springs-------------------------------32 Mullen ___________________________________20 St. Pats, North Platte 23 Scottsbluff B __________________________39 St. Marys, O'Neill________________________25 St. Pats, Sidney 38 Chadron High -----------------------------54 Hay Springs-------------------------------23 Chadron Prep______________________________37 Sunflower________________________________21 Crawford ________________________________31 Chodron Prep _____________________________29 Scottsbluff B __________________________45 Assumption ______________________________1 1 Crawford ________________________________ 50 St. Pats, Sidney__________________________44 Assumption _______________________________37 Hemingford _______________________________32 POINTS FOR THE SEASON Jim Stewart 330 George Burke ____________________254 Dick Jones_______________________214 Tom McGinley _____________________84 Jerry Stewart __________________ '59 Norky Newberry ........ __ 44 Bernard Burke___________________ 1 5 Bob Henderson _________________ 13 Ed Becker______________________10 Chas.
