21 FRESHMAN YEAR High Schooll The prospect thrilled us, but September First, nineteen forty- two, witnessed forty dillident grown-up children wending their way toward the freshman room. Initiation Day found us still quaking until, our induction examination passed, we became full-fledged, though still bewildered, members of our Alma Mater. Our schedule now included algebra with X and Y not the only unknown at first. Formidable Latin gradually became easier. We stalked the pages of ancient history and learned a great deal about our religion, while we hoped we wrote and talked English. The presentation of an Amateur Hour at our social brought out much hidden talent. October of this year found Helen Crampsie again in our midst, but by the time vacation rolled around, we had lost Dolores Baldini, Rose Badowsky, Francis Dickman, Charles Fisher, and William Iones, who is now studying to be a Carmelite Father.

SOPHOMORE YEAR We proceeded with a little more confidence to the sophomore room. That we were studious was proven by the number of books we carried home each night. Seeing things through the microscope was thrilling as well as enlight- ening. The terminology of biology became ours, and we gradually grew accustomed to the intricate figures of geometry. We helped Caesar fight his wars and met the rulers of European countries, but most of all we accumu- lated knowledge of our faith. Our dramatic talents were revived with the presentation of And the Lamp Went Gut. Thirty-four of us looked forward eagerly to our junior year, for Rose Badowski and Stephen Repik were no longer with us. 422
