LEAVES FROM A DIARY 1Class Hiszforyj Septc1n12f'r12, 193 8 DEAR DIARY, To-day I walked into the largest and most frightening classroom that I have ever seen. I was delighted, as well as surprised, to find many familiar faces there. In one corner stood the Blessed Sacrament girls-Rita Gillespie, Rita James, and Marie Tardog and gathered around Sister's desk was the St. Mary's group, Rosalie, Eleanor, Mary Margaret, Margaret Sullivan, and Betty Zehner. It's nice to have some old friends in such a new place. Sc'pfe1nl9er 19- To-day I heard that Edith, Catherine, Betty Jane, Rose Marie, Yvonne, and the Murphy twins, Mary Beth and Rita Ann, have been here since the grammar grades. No wonder they seem to feel more at home here than most of us Fresh- men do. Der'r'nz12er 19- We had our candle-light Carol Feste to-night. It must have been pretty, because even from my place in line the lights gave the appearance of a shining rosary. Since this was our first experience we were quite thrilled, and I believe the Freshmen sang louder than all the others together. Laura Lee, Jean Van Everdingen, Leah Marie, Catherine Shaub, Mary Anne Nolen, and I left together after the candy treat, December 22- The Freshmen had their Christmas dance to- night, We could already begin to see that Clara Mae, Margie, Mary Helen, Rosemary Glaviana, and Mildred, were to be the belles of the ball. May3,1939 The Athletic Club held its annual Field Day this afternoon, and our little Freshmen won the track pennant. I hope we can keep it all four years! Some of our stars were Marie Walls, Betty Clay, and Catherine Molloy. They brought honor to the Freshman team, and we're proud of them. Sepfember11,1939 DEAR DIARY, We started to school to-day as Sophomores, and it was good to see so many of the old crowd back again. Dorothy, Frances Jarrell, Shirley, and Jose- phine, were all here extra early. Our first day this year was quite different from our first day a year ago. Two new girls, Janice and Rosemae, looked as forlorn as we felt when we first came, so we showed them around and tried to make them feel at home. flllillllfy 22, 1940 It sncwed to-day, and we played much more than we worked. We formed teams, with Mary Cassata, Jean Nolan, and Catherine Morrissey on one side, and Rose Marie Kegg, Carroll, and Fran- ces Sullivan on the other, and had some snow fights. They are all very artful dodgers, so not many got hit with snowballs. This is the first time most of us have seen snow since we were tiny children. March 12- A group of Sophomores presented Father Lord's vocation play, In Life's Glad Morn. Norma Nolan distinguished herself by her splendid acting in the role of Agnes, while Betty made an ideal Joan. SeLl1f4'111bz'r 15, 1940 DEAR DIARY, At last we entered into the realm of upper class- men, filled with pride and joy. We have several new girls in our class, among them being Renata, Helen Cesak, Marie Anne, and Myra. They all became acquainted easily, and made themselves part of the crowd without any difhculty. February 18, 1941 The Social Committee of the Sodality presented My Cousin From Sweden this afternoon. Marie Anne has made a permanent record for herself as a first class comedian. April 15- We had our Junior-Senior Luncheon in the Em- pire Room at the Rice Hotel. Mary Belle, Rose- mae, and Margaret, went with Doris in her car.
