1-B CLASS Precious gifts do indeed come in small packages, for we are only fourteen in number, and yet we think Saint Angela just couldn,t get along without us. We compare ourselves to fourteen sat'ellites revolving our great planet, S. A. H. First comes our dancing star and Class President, Annette Hood, followed by Florence McNevin, our Vice-President who forgets to breathe correctly anyway. Next comes Margaret Vigilant, our very brightest st'ar, whose cheery smile lights the heavens. Close at her heels are our musicians, Frances Nevins, Louise Grace, 'Marguerite Stevens and Margaret Hayes, all of whom the class is sure will be victims of dyspepsia unless they take more time with their lunch. Ah! here comes another t'reasure in the form of Marylin Merkt, both artist and prima donna, holding hands with Betty Praeger, the most envied girl in the class and all because she dropped Lat'in. And now, may I present our galaxy of treasures, which no heaven could be complete without: Cornelia Wear, our World's Fair Bureau of Information, Kathleen Anella, our basketball star, Rosemarie Confrey and Dorothea Faggella, our Latin enthusiasts, last but by no means least. So now you have met the stars of S. A. H, Grade lB, and we hope you like us and have come to realize our true value. We have! ll CATHERINE RORKE. -...,5f55tg,...-

gs. 1-A CLASS One bright glittering day in February, 1940, twelve scared children with pounding hearts penetrated the portals of Saint Angela Hall to start on their high school career. One warm sunny day in May t'welve happy girls admitted, as they posed forthe accompanying picture, that is wasn't so bad after alll The first few days were trying, but the combatants fought bravely. A smile or two at one another, and the seed of friendship fell, to blossom before the forsythia. Dreams were woven about Barbara Thavenot's beauty, Elizabeth Quaritius, hilarious laugh, Eleanor Boykinls power of concentration, and Elizabeth Callahanls imagination. The thought of being a great pitcher like our own Margaret Dwyer, mingled with yearning for Dorothy Huggins' huge vocabulary, Loretto lVlcEvoy's bright hair, Marion McGra1ne's fair complexion, Marie Mulveyls loyalty to the Dodgers, Marie Wardburghis keen sense of humor, and Betty Buggierois lovely dark eyes, slowly enwrapped us into a deep swoon. Suddenly awakening from our spell we were confronted by our new studies-Algebra, Latin, Biology, Civics-which we soon found ourselves mastering. Doors were opening every day upon new treasures of thought. We the 1A7s wish great success to the Seniors who are leaving Saint' Angela as we begin what we know will be four happy years!
