The ad-program was our first consideration in connection with the play, and armed with ad-forms and enthusiasm we set out to do big things. When Sister had proposed square dance instructions for -us in the fall, and arranged with Miss Elizabeth I-Iennessey of Seward Park for classes, the boys thought they were being cheated a bit, having to give up their gym classes with Father, while the girls Q f 0 regretted forfeiting Miss Hennessey's volleyball instructions. However, it wasn't long before we were finding more fun than J we had left behind and were taking a long step in preparation for the play. v fum As parts evolved and songs and dances fell into place we began to know we had a really good play to offer. Miss Eleanor DiMaggio, music practice teacher from Mundelein, had taken over the singing when a bad fall had put S. M. Annunciation in the hospital. With Miss Jean Cieja, biology practice teacher, relieving S. M. St. Joan of Arc to conduct our practice or hold the reins tight while Miss Youngman and Miss DiMaggio did the training, we were free to put in many hours of solid work. Scenery, costumes, picnic togs, summer formals for the boys, the spirit and zest that found its way into our songs, all gave us many pleasant thrills,' so that when the great moment came we were ready with all our hearts to give our audience the best we had. A boat trip through the locks and along the lake front, meeting Harry Belafonte at the Catholic Interracial poster exhibit, class day beginning with Mass and Holy Communion followed by a festive breakfast and program given us by the Freshmen, then our own exercises in the afternoon reviewing the past and dip- ping prophetically into the future, our class picnic at Fox River Grove, and we were face to face with the reality of graduation. How wonderful to see the maze of scaffolding come down in our newly-decorated church, and realize the utter loveliness of the setting. Bishop Sheil was to honor us with his presence, and every detail must be in keeping. The long line of white and blue caps and gowns, the Bishop's bodyguard of Fourth Degree Knights, the altar decked in gold and white chrysanthemums, the richness of our own lovely choruses, made our parents very proud, and made us feel that we had shared in the beginning of a new and brighter era for the church and school we love so well. 1--Anna Caruso Wh I Z--Genevieve Kuntz 0 S 3--Marian ciuua 4--Pat Marshall J B 5 5--Anna Epley Q 6--Marcia Stacker 7--Mary Reed X ' 8--Anna Long Q E 9--Helen Rhodes 5 10--Patricia Miles , w .ll--Ann Laurix XS 0 12--Judy Jacobson 13--Dorothy Jacobson - - Robert Dominick Elaine Lokcik Charlene Adamx Earl Wilson Arlene Loftus --Joseph Cusack - - Ca rl Collins Alvern Kraatz Kay Dutton Kenneth Fontana Ronnie Dominick William Brittain
