E ARE the girls who didn't stray too far from home after leaving S. A. H. last February. In fact, thatls why you see us in this picture now. We had come back to Saint Angela to have our luncheon at the cafeteria when We received the delightful invitation to have our Pitchers took. Like all nice girls, We don't like to ubragf' but we do feel mighty smart. We are not only graduating from Saint Angela, but We have also taken the next step toward our respective goals. Mary Elizabeth Pigott, Mary Schmuck, Miriam Dietrig and Rosemarie Schwerman do all but run Saint Joseph's College for W017ZC7Z by this tirneg and Anne Morrell has been showing the Art Department at Pratt Institute a thing or two. It Wasn't easy to decide what to do after leaving S. A. H., but We finally settled ourselves for another four years Within two blocks from the Hall. e re more t an sa is e wi our c oices even i e c oices aren so satis e W' h tfid th h , fthuh ,t rid with usj and We have the extra added attractionu of being able to come back to our favorite old haunt when We feel lonesome.

lanuar, Class Histor RTIE SHANV and his orchestra will now play thc hit song of 1938g you all remember Drej: PnrjJle?', As the voice of the radio announcer died away, the strains of the lovely tune filled the room, bringing with them a flood of happy memories. That was the year a group of frightened, shy freshmen filed into their first classroom in St. Angela. It was then that we made our new high-school friendships. The other thoughts followed in a rush . . . basketball . . . the recitals . . . our first tea dance . . . the operetta Sweethearts,' . . . crushes on the seniors . . . saddle shoes that grew dirtier for four years. The program was interrupted by a commercial, followed by the ever popular Begin the Begnine! That was. the song we danced to down in the gym when we were sophomores. Perhaps the most vivid recollections of that year are similar polygons and Caesar's reports on the situation at the front. ' In the vague and hazy background we discover . . . melodies from Q'Eileen . . . flowers in our hair.. .Dutch shoes . . . that superior feeling toward the new freshmen. Someone turned the dial. Was that Frank Sinatra singing the first words of the unforgettable I'll Never Smile Again? A key turned in the crammed memory drawer labeled Ljunior Year. We haven't forgotten. . . mahogany lipstick. . . the new stream- lined cafeteria...the thrill of having class on the second floor...movies for the Propagation . . . the mite box . . . the experiment that blew upl' in Chem lab . . . the rule of making two cancer pads for every minute we were late . . . our wonder why Cicero talked so much. ' The pause for station identification was followed by Freddy Martin's arrangement of our favorite Concerto. This was our graduation march, and as we walked down the aisle all the fun and gaiety of our senior year passed in review. Remember The T'l'l7lZ77Zi7Z,5 on the Rosary . . . our last tea dance . . .Casey at the Bat . . . pigtails, bangs and feather cuts . . . the Christmas play. . . Sloppy Joe sweaters . . . ping pong during the lunch hour . . . the conga and rhumba . . . moccasins replacing saddle shoes . . . the Religion mark book...December 7 .... Regents week? One side of our mirror reflects four very wonderful years, while the polished surface of the other side symbolizes our hopes for a bright future. PP Clear and Cool The sky was clear again, Anti over towarrl the east a rainbow was springing. The air was soft and eool. A hira' was singing. There were pzifirlles on the gronnil . . I love rain, he sairl, Inst for the things it hrings: Softness and coolness, a how in the sky- The ZJVO'111iSC' of better things. After the sound of the winri ana' the rain The song of a hira' is sweet, Anti the shivnnzering paddles along the way Maize Heaven beneath my fec'i!,' MARY SCHMUCK. MARY ELIZABETH PIGOTT.
