in other tu farm st mare perfect union A CLASS, like a state or community in respect to its position in the nation, is a unit of the school. It is a contingent part of that pattern which forms our daily school life. For four years, common rules, studies, and recreations have created a strong bond hetween the Class of '57 and St. Agnes Academy. Our pleasant associations, however, have been accepted until now Without reflection. But, at the moment of parting, we feel the importance of retaining old contacts and friendships. An active Alumni Association, the op- portunities of returning to social functions, and the continuance of personal amities with the faculty and students are presented to us as a means of forming a more perfect union.

Now, we are on the threshold of another Commencement. We are about to leave Saint Agnes Academy, sadly separating after being so closely united for the past four years. Some of our num- ber will journey further along the Road of Education through the medium of college training. Different paths will naturally be chosen by all of us. Some will become nurses, some teachers, others will enter the business world, while perhaps a chosen few will be privileged to select the religious life. However, before we set sail upon the turbulent Sea of Life, it will be well to call to mind a few incidents of our short time together. It was a bright September morning when we awoke to the realization that our first high-school day was about to begin. With what mingled emotions we approached Saint Agnes, that morning! An excited and rather bewildered group of boys and girls, we met for the first time and became the Freshman Class of Saint Agnes High School. How proud and jubilant we were to think that at last we were attending high school! Only two months before, in Iune, at our elementary-school Commencement, we felt that our cup of knowledge was about full. We wondered just what more one could learn in a high school. But as we marched from room to room in Saint Agnes', and the Latin, algebra, French, and biology books piled up in our arms, we began to feel that perhaps we were not so well versed in knowledge after all. However, we all vowed to do our best and strive for our ideal fand isn't it every Freshmanis desire?j that is, that we might soon become Seniors. And thus, struggling with unfamiliar subjects, try- ing our best to master them, refreshing ourselves at various times with little recreations, one of which was the enjoyable trip to view the excellent motion picture, Through the Centuries, our Freshman year passed, and almost before we knew it we became Sophomores. In this, our second.year, we felt more at home in Saint Agnes'. Somehow, our llll
