41-1 Q, Quincy As freshmen we were green and dumb But knew our senior days would come. Under the guiding hand of our sponsor, Sister Adrian Marie, our freshman days began with a bang. For two days of initiation, we bowed and scraped to the seniors and at the end of our 'testing time the seniors treated us to ice cream and cookies and presented Dorothy Jorden with a silver bracelet for being the best freshman. Teddy Io Young received double honors from her class that year being elected class president and class basketball captain. As football season rolled around we were all so proud to see our classmates June Payne, Kathryn Robinson and Suzanne Hogan acting as official cheerleaders of the C. B.C. freshman team. In the Miss Saint Agnes contest our candidate was Betsy Ross, a senior of that year. We succeeded in plac- ing her second in the contest, at least. As natural freshmen we naturally gloated over any dis- tinction, so imagine our joy when Mary Della Quinn, our representative in the school oratorical contest, received second place honors. A big event of this year was our reception into the Sodality of Our Lady and we took special pride in claiming membership in this spiritual organ- ization and wearing the miraculous medal symbolic of our induction. The freshman dramatic class presented the old favorite of Louisa Mae Alcotr's, Little Women. After final exams were all over, we held our class picnic at Maywood, which marked the official close of our first year together. As sophomores our time grew a bit more nigh For we'd be seniors bye and bve. This year with Sister Elise holding the reins of sponsor and Iagoe Brown in the driver's seat as president, our sophomore class really forged ahead. Teddy Io Young was again elected captain of our basketball team. Our sophomore representatives in the oratorical contest were Mary Della Quinn and Jean Bain. Something new in the history of Saint Agnes occurred that year with the establishing of the Aquinas Chapter of the National Honor Society. Four of our classmates were charter probationary members. The really big high light of our sophomore year was the Miss Saint Agnes contest because our candidate and classmate, Mary Della Quinn, won! I Teddy Io Young and Frances Becky were her attendants and our entire class served as hotesses at the grand event when Mary Della was crowned and reigned over the festivities at the Catholic Club. The C.B.C. Choral Group presented the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, Pirates of Penzance and a great many of us lent our voices to the chorus. Our dramatics club play for the year was Mansions, With plastic raincoats and twirling umbrellas we danced our way through Singin' In the Rain in the gym exhibition. We celebrated the close of a very successful year with our class picnic at Clearpool. x 4,

Q As juniors we were real cock-sure me more year, we'd be seniors demure. Our junior sponsor was Sister Anne Raymond, always there to lend us a helping hand. Because of the admirable job done in her sophomore year, Jagoe Brown was re-elected president and also was elected captain of our basketball team for the junior year. Lorraine Dominghez rep- resented the juniors in the oratorical contest that year and we were all quite proud of Billie June Carr and Suzanne Hogan who won the city-wide Rosary Essay Contest and the Serra Club Essay Contest, respectively. In the Miss Saint Agnes contest, Lorraine Dominguez was our junior princess and Jagoe Brown and Jean Bain her attendants. This year marked the Saint Agnes Centenary and we seemed to follow an extremely busy schedule with members of our class participating in various dances of the Centennial Pageant. After much hard work raising funds for the Junior-Senior Prom, we at last reached our goal and entertained the seniors with a beautiful 'Evening ln Paris' setting. Everyone agreed it was a huge success. We cllmaxed our year with a picnic at Clearpool. Well, here we are-- the exalted ones And all that waiting2-- Well, it was fun, Imagine our delight on returning to school in September and finding that our former sponsor, Sister Anne Raymond, had been promoted also and was to be our senior sponsor. Eections for leaders of the coming year soon got under way with these results: Class president. Kay Wadeg Sodallty prefect, Jagoe Browng Crusade president, Bobbie Grehan: Honor Society president, Jagoe Browng Red Cross presidentg Annette Dolang and Latin Club president, Teddy Jo Young. Teddy Jo was also elected captain of our senior basketball team and of the Varsity. The school paper was edited that year by Jean Bain and the Annual by Jagoe Brown. Our representatives in the school oratorical contest were Mary Della Quinn, first-place winner, and Jean Bain, second- place. The juniors honored us at a lovely prom with an Old South' setting. We were all so delighted with the unique favors we received, depicting the theme. By the vote of the entire high school, a senior, Bobbie Grehan. was elected Miss Saint Agnes of 1952. Jagoe Brown served as crown bearer and Julia Hodgson and Jean Bain were class representatives. In the gym exhibition we twirled our full skirts to gypsy music and won the blue ribbon for second place. Mary Della Quinn received a scholarship to Saint Catherine's College in Kentucky and Bobbie Grehan was awarded a scholarship to Siena College. To the strains of Pomp andCircumstance we marched across the campus climaxing a most wonderful four years at Saint Agnes Academy. f fl. Q Il 1 i jr' T is 5 'ixzfl w E, ' , L
