qjarsiiy Acknowledgments E wish to acknowledge receipt of whole-hearted co-operation received by the Varsity of ,45 from the following: Sister Thaddeus, who willingly gave of her time and efforts to help in the training of a winning Varsity. Mrs. Geluso, our eflicient coach, whose impartiality, fairness and enthusi- astic spirit have taught many of us the meaning of good sportsmanship. Virginia Huebbe, our able captain, whose athletic ability is above dispute. With Virginia as our leader, the Varsity team, Mary Roth, Joan Daly, Therese Moran, Joan Kelly, Betty Keane, Grace McSherry and Frances Banzhaf of the Senior Class, Helen Caviston and Jean Dall representing our Juniors, Fran- ces Weigand and Joan Sullo of the Sophomore year and Joan Guerrieri and Mary Killoran, our Freshmen, enthusiastically entered school, C. Y. O., and alumnae games. 0ur cheerleaders, Anne Albert, Dorothy Henry, Gerry Carney, Peggy Tierney, Gloria Calure, Dolores Calamari, Kathleen O'Neill and Pauline and Irene Bladell, whose rah-rah-rahs and sis-boom-bahs encouraged our spirits when the going was tough and cheered us on when success seemed in sight. Our silent supporters, who performed the little duties that no one sees, yet everyone appreciates-the timekeeper, the scorekeepers, any and every girl that ever attended a game. To all, we offer our sincere and grateful thanks. If the Varsity of '46 receives the co-operation that We have received, there will be no fear that it will be a losing team. Good Luck, Varsity of '46. FRANCES BANZHAF, '45. 102

uqflzleiic uqssociation Y jx TIME moves forever onward leaving only the pleasant thrill of memories I as its calling card. Now as we gaze over our four years in Saint Barnabas we find familiar persons and places materializing before our eyes. Look! there We are as Freshmen, singing and laughing as the bus rolled on towards White Plains. There we had our first Field Day. Remember how proud we were when the Freshmen were judged the best in formation. That Was also the day that Therese Moran won the bronze medal, and Mary Roth the Freshman banner. Yes, it was a great day for the Class of '45. Lying in the sun, sipping cokes, competing for honors, singing old favorites on the way home, all made this day the day of Freshmen year. Moving onward we see a glimpse of ourselves as Sophomores. This year two of our girls were represented on the Varsity. We were just a little bit envious of Mary Roth and Grace McSherry on the days the Varsity played. Perhaps it was because they had the privilege of leaving at 2:15. This was also the year of our first boat ride. I remember the day well because it poured. Nevertheless by the time we had reached Indian Point the sun was shining. First we had our Field Day in which Therese Moran again won the bronze medal, and after this we decided to go swimming and relax. Others could be seen rowing, or walking, while some were occupied in the very difficult task of ac- quiring a tan. So as all good things must come to an end, so'did our second Field Day. As our memories of Sophomore year fade from view we see the Junior Class of '45 beckoning to us. Three more girls have joined the ranks of the Varsity. Therese Moran, Mary Bruno, and Virginia Huebbe. Beside basketball, we began to play softball. When spring arrived we departed for the park. It wasn't an unusual sight to see the A. A. following Miss Crowley to Van Cortlandt Park, where We spent many an enjoyable afternoon playing softball. Soon it was June and time for the boat ride. It was a grand day, and everybody was in high spirits. Every passing boat received a cheerful hello from us. Before we realized it we were again at Indian Point. This year Virginia Huebbe received the Gold medal, and Grace McSherry the Junior Banner in the Field Day activi- ties. Soon the warning whistle blew, and we hurried to the pier, a little tired, a little sunburned, but very happy. Perhaps the memories which are dearest to us are those of Senior Year. Everything we did during that year, we treasure dearly. The ping-pong tourna- ment, class basketball games, volley ball and softball games still bring back smiles when we recall them. It seems that we will never forget April 7th, the day we hiked to the Palisades. Many a foot was aching, and many a red face was seen for weeks afterwards, but this was small enough price for such a day. The thought that this was our last year made it all the sweeter. This day and the days spent in the gym or Van Cortlandt Park, coupled with May 26th, the day of the last Field Day are our most cherished memories. Since we must move ever forward, never stopping or lingering even for a little while, it is with a note of sadness that we take leave of our friends and our school. VIRGINIA HUEBBE. 101
