To our surprise and great satisfaction we were more than glad to see our Freshmen of- ficials back with us again. You were glad to see us back too, weren't you, Sisters? The highlight of this year was our junior Prom and if your conversation was any- thing other than prom', you just weren't with it, thatis for surelv Memories of the Prom are not the only things we shall remember from this episode of our life. We will forever be able to recall the un- selfish efforts of our official teachers spent guiding us throughout the year. Suddenly, there it was . . . the finale of our high school days. As Seniors we reigned supreme as marshals and especially during our Senior VVeek with our mere plebe days far behind us. September 1959, for the Senior proved to be full of surprises, and happy ones at that. The Senior Commer- cials welcomed Sister Margaret Mary as their official teacher for the third time, and the Senior Academics greatly anticipated having Sister Teresita as their official teacher. XVhat better way to end our beauti- ful book of memories, then to say, Our final concert was our bestf, Sometime, down that long dim road called Future, when we are near the at- tainment of our allotted years, when these pages are yellow and fragile, the print faded and blurred, we can surely say that these years have been our most memorable.
