An enthusiastic and gay student, Alberta has become a ne- cessary part of the class. Full of vigor and vitality, she can be counted on to work feverishly for all activities. She is gifted with a wonderful sense of humor which makes her welcome in any group. Many a happy lunch period has been spent watch- ing Alberta cut a rug. We are sure she will progress far in the business world. JOAN WHYTE Volleyball I, ll, III, IV, Mercy League III, IV, Glee Club III, McAuley Guild, Sodality, Cheerleader Ill, IV, Dance Committee III, IV. Paint mischievous eyes, add sincerity, a Iiitle humor, and a touch of kindness and you have a good-signed picture of Joan. Always ready with a helping hand, she is a friend to all. But never too busy to learn, she is grasping her education for a better out-look on life. Joan's picture will be complete when she wears the white cap of a graduate nurse which is right now, her main desire. May Joan reach her goal with all of our blessings. 20

JU IDRS We the Juniors of SCA feel now, rather humble: for upon us the future of earth may depend. Next year we shall be seniors, and from thence shall wend our various ways - so no wonder we pause a moment to scan the roadway we have already traversed. Back we spin to Freshman year, when we were greenies. Goodness, the sisters must have thought us raw material - and yet, so full of promise! Consider sophomore year: we've acquired a bit of polish, but the job is not yet completed. Now, peer at our term as iuniors. Note the increasing maturity in our eyes, in our purposes. Here, we began first to realize that we, personally, had a real duty toward the world. Soon we shall be seniors, equipped, not only by the Sister's transmission to us of math, science, languages, and history, but by a true sense of values and a firm moral standard backed by Mary, to become reliable and useful citizens. There is much we owe to, and will not forget of S.C.A. The subscription drive, the canned goods race, the Christmas plays, land vacationli, the school musical with Mr. Hayes, Mr, Trayhy's Glee Club, the Mercy League, Sodality, McAuley Guild - all of these have formed an integral part of our stay at S.C.A. All the years have helped mature us, and given us a new perspective and too, filled us with the realization that we are to imitate Christ, on all occasions. We the Juniors salute you, S.C.A. 22
