The snow, and dark overcast skies held little promise of what the future would bring to the fifteen eager girls entering St. Agnes Seminary. As we pulled open the massive, heavy doors, a glance at the tall, prepossessing grandfather clock told us this was our first day. In the beginning, we were frightened, we were bewildered, we were freshmen! Amid chaos and confusion, we cautiously approached Room 101. After peek- ing inside, the multi-colored posters and varied unintelligible expressions left no doubt that it was the French room, and it was to be our home for six, exciting months. No sooner had we begun to feel slightly important Cafter all we were in high schoolb than twenty-two boisterous seniors barged into our classroom and menacingly warned us against treading upon their private staircase . Within a few days we had settled down and who will ever forget the amazing discovery that mittens worn on the feet could be put to good use in the Biology Lab. Then there were our goldfish, Paul and Charlie, who one day caught a chill and perished. And of course, often many difiicult lessons were learned-exactly how to place amo, amas, amat on vocabulary papers. All at once it was june and we departed for the summer vacation. September found sixteen civilized freshmeng we had lost one girl, but gained two, sporting new, shorter hair-do's. The fall months flew by, and suddenly the Christmas season loomed before us with its assurance of the pageant, school party and many more gay times. We returned from inter-term recess, fourteen proud sophomores, and moved across the hall doomed to become perfect mathematicians. Now we really be- longed to the Sem. Between our theorems and Compasses, we soon visioned the world about us in the weird shapes of circles, triangles, squares and rectangles, etc. The glory of France and the beauty of its pronunciation Cespecially the famed oui which we twisted to sound like ooieD brought with it a new chal- lenge, namely, the French language. Surprisingly enough, vacation again appeared to have crept up on us, and we waved our farewells to fellow Semites. All too soon we had returned after two months, only eleven of us, and at- tempted to concentrate on dividing Gaul into three parts. Praying, memorizing and cramming finally brought Geometry to an end, and somehow we passed our Math and Latin regents. 12
