S EN IO R ' 5 3 When we entered the academy as green freshmen, we never thought four years could fly so fast! From the donning of initiation costumes, along with Latin coniugations and algebraic equations, we passed into sophomore year. We were then a part of the school or educated freshmen. As such, we memorized propositions and axioms in geometry or learned the new terms of our course. With junior year came the responsibilities that go with preparations for the Junior-Senior Tea and the passing of our regents. Finally, the arrival of our coveted senior rings made iunior year complete. At last, as seniors, we began the most important year in high school. Activities were boosted to raise money for the most used word in every senior's vocabulary - Yearbook, Along with social life was the life of earnest study for those tell-tale regents. But success was ours! As we received our reward, our di- ploma, tears glistened in our eyes, wishing time did not hurry so. We knew, though, there was no turning back! These four years at 5.C.A. will always be cherished by us as will those who made them possible - our wonderful parents, friends, and self-sacri- ficing Sisters of Mercy. May nothing but honor come to Saint Catharine Academy from her class of l953. 5
