FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY SECTION 9-a In September 1937 we set sail on our course in St. Aloysius High School. For us it was an eventful day and we had mingled feelings of expectancy. adventure, and fear of the unknown. We were all open-eyed in wonder about our teachers and classmates. To-day we willingly admit that our fears had no foundation. At the close of our first year here, we found that the seas had been calmed by the companionship and good will of our classmates and the gentleness and un- derstanding of our teachers. We had been in school but a few weeks when intra-mural track compe- tition began. The upper-classmen were amazed at the fine showing of our athletes in this, the first demonstration of our athletic ability. This was. how- ever, only a beginning. Later several members of our class made varsity teams. and we were found ever willing to support them in victory or defeat. Many of the older students had cause to envy the pep and whole-hearted enthusiasm which we showed when any effort was made to add laurels to St. Aloysius sport achievements. We are proud to say that we have already caught the spirit of good sportsmanship that has always been indicative of true Aloysians. It is encouraging to know that we Freshmen students also set up a credit- able record in studies. Our amateur theatricals received enthusiastic support and the talents displayed hold great promise for the future of the High School Dramatic Society. As we look back on our Freshman year, we discover it has taken from us that feeling of expectancy that was ours in September. In its place we have a feeling of confidence in oursleves. It has given us fine friends but it has also taken from us our Seniors whom we admired and whose love and loyalty for St. Aloysius we will strive to imitate. ,I - - T AIAIDYCIAN - , Page Eighty one
