Wmnmrgf SHIRLEY XVlllUlJEN PATRICIA SUPPIR ANN GRANT Vice-President President Secretary 'lireasurer ECRETARIAL C ASS Leaving home towns behind in Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince lfdward Island, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland, we, the Secretarial students of '50, came to Nlount St. Bernard to take our tirst step on the well-trodden path ot' business education. Now, as graduation day looms on the horizon, we tind that we have come a long way by a short route. We look back with happy recollec- tions upon a year that has been a productive and profitable one for us, not only technically, but spiritually and socially as well. The Secretarial course embraces much more than Take a letter please? or the mastery ot' the mysteries that surround that little machine called the typewriter.,' The unsuspecting beginners tiound themselves wound tighter and tighter in the spider web of Accounting, Business Nlath, the disturbing intrica- cies ot' Law-where a maze ol' rules seem to run contrary to reason-and other subjects that round out a complete program designed to prepare the secretary for her exacting role in business administration. With this technical training, which is necessary to maintain the ordinary routine ol' an ollice, we have received a valu- able cultural background. Uur record as socialities is probably without par. Secretarials could be found embracing every phase ot' campus endeavor, in activ- ities that were varied and numerous, thus developing that intangible but valua- able asset-personality! The excellent lectures, the charming plays and con- certs we have attended, and the choice music we have heard-all these have help- ed to cultivate our tastes for the better things in lite. Then, there are the tiriend- ships we have formed, the associations we have made with the Faculty and stud- ents, all of which have played a part in giving us that grace and poise so neces- sary in our profession. We did not, however, contine ourselves to the role of spectator. To the musical and sport tield we, too, have made our contributions. VVC can boast ot' one who was the only girl member of the St. F. X. Urchestra, and otisix who took part in the operetta The lVlikado. Un the basketball tloor we have likewise won acclaim. As amateur journalists, we met with success in publishing the Spectator -an edition which has been complimented as the best yet! It is with pride that we close the door on our past year-for we have reached our last step. We are still free to muse and dream of what the world has to ottier us-the small or big parts we shall be called upon to play in the professional drama ot' business life-but like the little maidens in the Nlikadon we are readlv to sing our song or play our piece!
