There was a special kind of SUFFERING caused by the absence of two people who have been very important to the Senior Class of '63. . . . Sister Spes was their homeroom teacher the year they were freshmen. Sister passed to her eternal reward May 24, 1962. and the absence of two FRIENDS SISTER SPES Gene Ackerley had been with the class since the days they were in Kinder- garten. When in the seventh grade, during an epidemic of the Asiatic Flu, Gene became ill. He passed away November 3, 1957. Gene has not been forgotten by his classmates. Each November they have had a Holy Mass said for him. Gene has been, and will remain, a member of the Class of '63. BELOW: The Pep Club 'suffered' as they watched the ball roll 'off the rim' and out of the basket.

. . .and there were some SUFFERINGS Just as THAT WONDERFUL YEAR has its share of PRAYERS, WORKS and JOYS, so it had its proper allot- ment of SUFFERINGS. There were little sufferings: . . . the fear and uncertainty with which students faced the doubtful outcome of the Parent-Teach- er Conferences. . . . the embarrassment of appearing before the student body with a pair of crutches, a black eye, or — even worse, a patch over the eye. Gwen Annable suffered as much from good natured teasing as she did from the sore eye. BELOW: Carol Thorson, Sharon Schefcik, Maureen O'Connor and Bob Mc- Chesney labored over an English Examination.
