JOSEPH'S ACADEMY PORTLAND, MAINE Member Catholic School Press Association, 1946 to 1954, inclusive. Dedication To Our Blessed Lady, our heavenly Mother, we lovingly dedicate the 1954 issue of THE ACADEMIA in this year which is her special year-Marian Year. O Mary, Mother of us all, pray for us and for all your children throughout the world! The Family Rosary The Family Rosary is the ideal devotion for the Marian Year. To pray the Rosary was one of the requests made to the three children at Fatima, Portugal, by Our Lady herself. The Rosary consists of the prayers which we all, even very small children, know. Only about ten minutes are needed for this exercise, and all the family could usually find that time, when most convenient for all or nearly all. Some find that directly after supper is a good time. One leads the prayers and the others answer. How much grace, how many blessings, will families bring down, not only upon themselves, but upon the whole world, by the daily recitation of the Rosary! MosT REVEREND DANIEL -IOSEPH FEENEY, D. D Coadjutor Bishop of Portland y The Marian Year The dogma of the Immaculate Conception was solemnly defined on the eighth of December, 1854, by Pope Pius IX. In commemoration of this proclamation, Pope Pius XII wrote an Encyclical entitled Fulgens Corona Qkadiant Crownj, in which he proclaimed the year 1954 as a Marian Year. The Annus Marianus began on December 8, 1953, the feast of the Immaculate Conception, and will end on the same date of the year 1954. This Holy Year is being marked by special ser- mons, devotions and pilgrimages to many shrines and churches dedicated to Mary. Our Lady appeared to a fourteen-year old girl, Bernadette Soubirous, at Lourdes, France, on February ll, 1858. After this first apparition, the Blessed Mother appeared to Saint Bernadette seventeen more times. During one of her apparitions, she said to the girl, I am the Immaculate Conception. At the An- nunciation the Angel Gabriel addressed Mary as full of grace. Our Lady's Im- maculate Conception, her freedom from the stain of original sin, was an extra- ordinary and special grace never granted to any other human being. Our Lady was also free from all actual sin. Christ loved His mother so much that He made her holy and pure that she might be an ideal for all His children. Through our Catholic education at Saint Joseph's Academy, we have learned to live in imitation of Mary. We can benefit by this Marian Year by not only conforming to a more perfect pattern of life this year, but also by resolving to follow this pattern throughout our lives. In imita- tion of our heavenly Mother during the Marian Year, we shall strive to remain free from- sin, filling our own souls with grace. We shall pray more frequently and fer- vently, performing the daily spiritual exercises of the Sodality morenfaithfully. May we always live up to the high standards of Saint Joseph's Academy by remain- ing close to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, setting an example for our associates in the world as women strong in the Catholic faith. ELAINE BonnuAs, '54 REVEREND PETER J. FLANAGAN We consider ourselves very fortunate to have had Father Flanagan as chaplain during our four years. The door of his study is always open, and a knock at the door is answered by a cheery Come in. There is no problem that he cannot solve and, at the time, he seems to have nothing to do but attend to that problem. However, we have some idea of the many things he has to do, and, all the more, therefore, we appreciate his kind counsel and guidance. Father always attends our parties and contributes greatly to the fun on these occasions, which would not be complete without him. We are most grateful, too, for remembrance in his prayers. The Year of Gm Lady The slogan given by Our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, for the Marian Year is: The family that prays is the family that lives. The following is an excerpt from the Holy Father's Encyclical Letter Fulgens Corona - QRadiant Crownj. We desire that, during this Marian Year, the faith of the people may be in- creased and their devotion to the Virgin Mother of God may be made daily more ardent, and so that henceforth all may resolve to follow in the footsteps of our Heavenly Mother willingly and with promptitude. Wherever there is a sanctuary, or at least an altar, in which the sacred image of the Blessed Virgin Mary is en- shrined for the devotion of Christian people, we desire that the faithful shall throng thither in great numbers, and shall offer to our most sweet Mother not only private, but also public supplications, with one voice and with one mind. Let them flock together in great numbers and publicly and in the open give glori- ous expression to their common faith and their common love for the Holy Virgin. In the first place, let them ask that, with the assistance of divine grace, the way of life of each one may be made more conformable to the Christian command- ments, since nobody can do anything befittingly for the common good unless he himself first shines as an example of virtue before others. Let them also pray that there may grow up a generous and promising new generation, and that the beautiful flower of youth may not suffer itself to be infect- ed by the corrupt breath of this world and grow up in sin. We desire in a special way that in the prayers which will be offered to God during the celebration of the coming Marian Year supplication may be made, through the intercession of the Mother of the Divine Redeemer and our most sweet Mother, that finally the Catholic Church throughout the world may be al- lowed to enjoy the freedom that is hers by right. May the same Blessed Virgin look down on all those who are proud to call themselves Christians, and who, being united at least by the bond of charity, hum- bly raise to her their eyes, their minds and their prayers, imploring that light which illumines the mind with heavenly rays, and begging for that unity in which at last there may be One Fold and One Shepherd.

Senior Class History Time: September, 1953. Place: Study Hall, S. A. Occasion: First day of school. Atmosphere: Cheerful and friendly. Here we were, making new acquaintances, renewing old friendships, talking about our summer fun, the Seniors looking for their little sisters. Each of us was appointed big sister to one of the Freshmen and it seemed a very short time since we ourselves were the little sisters. We have had a full and successful year. We made a three day retreat, always one of the most important events every year at the Academy. During retreat, except at a period specified for recreation, there is silence throughout the school, and this is a great help in keeping one in the proper spirit of the exercises. Fund-raising was carried on as in other years, various means, all strictly honest, of course, being utilized. During Lent, Sister M. Flavia, our English and also our homeroom teacher, directed us in preparing for presentation The Upper Room, by Monsignor Benson. To reward us for our efforts, Sister M. Jerome gave the Seniors a party, which was greatly appreciated and enjoyed. This year has just flown and it will soon have fled! We are looking forward to the junior-Senior prom, Senior Class night and graduation. VVhen we depart in June, we shall take with us a store of delightful memories.

Off on a jet-propelled scholastic and social school year, a crew of twentyefive lively girls manning our craft. Piloted by Anne Marie Thomas and her covpilot, Carlene Cyr, we became duly acquainted with our scheduled flight. Mary Brown kept our ship's log and .Ioline Huard capably managed our finances as we cruised along on a steady fuel diet of Ratio Studiorum. Before embarking, we had welcomed two new day pupils, Margaret Chretien and Carol Thurman. A sizable amount of money had to be acquired for our treasury to ensure smooth sailing for ten months, so we sponsored three sandwich salesg a corn and coke vending, auctioned off a scrumptious cakeg sold chances on a Five dollar record album, and held a very successful Valentine dance in the Cheverus High School Auditorium. September 24, feast of Our Lady of Mercy, was a holiday, and on the follow- ing Saturday, we enjoyed a day at Little Diamond Island. A highly entertaining Hallowe'en was spent at Anne Marie Thomas' home, playing ping-pong, pool, ff' WL 'Yvom swf, ws' V .9 . 3' ef' and other relay games. QRemember the orange pass, girls?j All too soon came our first minor storm-quarterly report cards, but not too soon, Thanksgiving vacation, during which we sold a very large number of chances on a hand-worked afhgan and thereby won an additional twenty-four hour leave. As Sodalists, we were active in the numerous spiritual enterprises of the Sodality of the Immaculate Conception, always endeavoring to imitate our pa- troness, the Blessed Virgin Mary. We all attended the Christmas party in the Auditorium before departing for home to enjoy the gala holiday season. Not long after school reopened came the mid-year examinations. The three- day retreat, conducted by Rev. Thomas Fay, S. J., renewed,our spiritual energies and showed us ways of utilizing more effectively the tools of grace and prayer. At frequent intervals, we had interesting educational diversions, among which were the Community Concerts at Portland City Hall and lectures given at the Academy by eminent men and women. Among the latter, the following stand out particularly in our memories: Rev. Herbert A. de Souza, S. J., of India, who gave a very clear, interesting account of India, past and present. Father amazed us by his perfect command of English fhe told us that he talked American, toolj and he delighted us by his witg Dr. Paul K. Sik, of China, currently a member of Seton Hall College faculty, jessica Dragonette, who reviewed her autobiography but was coaxed to sing for us, also, Alice Curtayne, noted writer and lecturer: and Mrs. Arthur Welch, who held us spellbound with her review of a recent book. Early in our thirty-six week aerial cruise, we became engrossed in dramatic achievements and are preparing enthusiastically for the spring presentation, to be highlighted by The Cliffs of Dover, by a well-trained group. We really became upperclassmen the day we received our black onyx class rings mounted with the school emblem, the acorn and oak leaf. A simple but im- pressive ceremony, at which the rings were blessed by Father Flanagan, impressed upon our minds the significance of these links with our Alma Mater. Easter vacation is now upon us. Our flight will be terminated within two short months. However, before making the final landing in june, our schedule promises the following activities: final examinations fthe word yinal is a consola- tionjg the Class Splash party, the solemn May procession and crowning of Our Lady, World Sodality dayg the enchanting junior-Senior prom, and the Com- mencement Exercises. We feel that we have weathered each stage of our course with constancy and that we are prepared to assume the responsibilities bequeathed to us by the Class of '54.

Sophomore Class History How time fiiesl Before we reali7ed it, summer had passed and we were back at the Academy, greeting one another happily and welcoming as classmates five newcomers: Mary Dillon, Portlandg Gemma Romano and Patricia Walsh, South Portlandg Suzanne Porell, Westbrookg and Roberta Franck, Ste. Agathe. We were delighted to find that we were to have the same homeroom and the same home- room teacher as last year. We were also delighted to see a shiny new television set in the recreation hall. Class officers elected for this year: Phyllis Martin, to carry the burdensg Mary G. Rafferty, to assist Phyllis, Yvette Bouchard, to collect money, and Hannah Lynds, to act as correspondent. Although the Mercy day trip was not our first excursion to Little Diamond Island, we enjoyed it immensely. For the aching bones of which we complained the next day we blamed a few ambitious souls, who encouraged us to walk around the Island. Watching the Freshman initiation brought back memories of our own I v8lA V1 troubles last year. At the successful Hallowe'en party, sponsored by the Freshmen, the girls dressed to impersonate Saints, presented a pageant. A magic carpet swished us back to earth afterwards and we enjoyed an entertainment and refresh- ments. The morning of our departure for the Christmas holidays several members of our class performed a dance as our contribution to the program put on by the four classes. The girls who danced showed that they had profited by our Thursday lessons in square dancing. We gained much from and enjoyed the Retreat, directed by Father Fay, S. J., who stressed, along with other things, devotion to the Holy Spirit. The mid-year report cards told the results of a half year's work. Everyone re- solved. after seeing her card, to do better next time. Time will tell whether we kept these resolutions. I am a Dutch girl from Holland. Who are you? I am an Eskimo from Alaska and I live in an igloo. Such remarks were frequently heard during the three months during which foreign countries became so much a Dart of our life. As a history project each Sophomore chose a country about which she was to find out all that she could as her part for the grand display of all the countries of the world. Our knowledge of the countries was increased by two lectures, given by Miss Guadalupe Loera on Mexico, and Miss Hilda Chao on China, their homelands. Now we are on the eve of departing for Easter vacation. To repeat the open- ing exclamation, How times flies!

Freshman Class History lt was a beautiful September morning that the portals of St. lloseph's Academy opened to twenty-four green Freshmen-sixteen residents and eightday students. A hearty welcome was given to us by the Directress, Sister M. -lerome, by our home- room teacher, Sister Mary Raymond, by our other teachers, Sister M. Flavia and Sister lrenaeus, and by our big sisters, the Seniors. During the fall and winter the Freshmen enjoyed many activities, among these being: a wiener roast at the pond on the campus, an ice cream spree at Woodiords, accompanied by our big sisters, and an all day picnic at Little Dia- mond lsland in honor of Mercy day, September 24. The following were elected class oflicers: Helen Dallas, president: Marguerite Cenest. vice-president, Carole Page, secretary: and Maureen McGillicuddy, treas- urer. Next on the program was initiation, looked forward to with a little fear, but particioated in with high spirits. We held a food sale which helped finance the customarv Hallowe'en party at which all appeared in a skit, representing saints, and prizes were offered to those who guessed what saints we represented. We were R '-.. . Q Q-1 ' Il I 7 I s complimented for the skit and the delicious refreshments served. Thanksgiving vacation followed shortly. The Marian year opened on December 8. The whole class joined the organi- zation known as the Fighting 69th promoted by Father Conroy of The Sunday Visitor. Constance Gahagan was unanimously elected Commander, since she had chosen to represent at the Hallowe'en party, St. Maria Goretti, who is patron- ess of the Fighting 69th. Nearly all the student body received pledge cards. The science project for this month consisted of posters showing the circula- tory system of the human body. D On the last day of school before Christmas vacation we took part in the'Nativ- ity play. In the early part of January we joined with the other classes in making the retreat, a very helpful three-day exercise. During this month, we presented a clever class-unity project on Stevenson's Treasure Island. Later, the resident Freshmen enjoyed a snow party at Tomlinson's Riding School. Carol Brown made a little history for herself, and us, by being the first to have a sojourn at the Mercy Hospital, as a patient, of course. During the winter, Rev. Anthony de Souza, of India, gave a highly interesting lecture on his country and its conditions. Holy Childhood day followed shortly, and we all gave generously, ransoming two pagan babies whom we named Raymond Jerome and Rose Marie. Two dolls were dressed in primitive Indian costumes and placed in the arms of Our Lady in Room 103. A gold medal, on a blue ribbon around each doll's neck, symbolized their Christianity. One of the most impressive events of the season was the Sodality reception, the most dreaded event, midyear examinations, closely followed by the inevitable report cards. We were allowed tolattend the Valentine dance, at Cheverus High School, sponsored by the Juniors. VVere we excited! In March, the Bishop's fund appealed to our generosity and a freak show in the classroom at recess one morning brought in a good sum. On St. Patrick's day we all wore bright green ribbons and green hats. The Sisters, also, had a piece of green ribbon on their sleeves, green hats were omitted, of course, in their case. St. .Ioseph's day, March 19, was-a holiday, and a little group from the science class went on a very interesting expedition to the Weather Bureau at the Municipal Airport. Easter vacation followed by-yes, report cards. The year has seemed very short, is almost over, and we look back over it with joy and satisfaction. Truly, it was a year filled with happy memories.

The officers elected last June: Nancy Conneen, Prefectg Sheila Lor- ing, Vice-Prefectg Marlene Webber, Secretaryg and Doris Soule, Treasurer, were eager to begin a new Sodality year with a new Moderator, Sister Mary Alacoque. Reports on the Summer School of Catholic Action at Boston were made by Nancy glaonneen, Sheila Loring, Marlene Webber, Noreen Michaud and Mary Agnes artin. Our particular aim this year was to build up our apostolate. On Saturdays a group of girls volunteered to go to one of the institutions for the sick, elderly, or blind to read or entertain. In November we undertook the project of selling Christmas cards to help bring Christ back into Christmas. For Thanksgiving and Christmas we made up baskets of food and clothing for the two needy families who received them grate- fully. On December 8 a special program for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, which was the beginning of the Marian Year, took place in the Study Hall- Perpetual Rosary all day followed by a program in the evening. Two girls were appointed to say the Rosary every day as a special devotion for the Marian Year. Our annual three-day retreat, conducted by Father Fay, S. J., was held in January. During February the Catholic Truth Committee set up an elaborate display of books and pamphlets for Catholic Press Month and conducted a short skit based on the Song of Bernadettef' Father Conneen gave the Sodalists an excellent talk on vocations during Vocation Month and the Publicity Committee presented a skit, Vocation Room, during the last meeting of the month. We are looking forward to the May Crowning on World Sodality Day and the election and installation of officers for the coming year. The social events of the year were: a movie, The Robe 3 a TV partyg a mid- Lenten social in Marchg and a dance held in May. As we leave for the summer holidays we utter, with fervor, the Sodality aspira- tion, Mary, with your loving Son, bless us each and every one. NANCY CQNNEEN, '54 Sadie Nissen.

Speech Class Mrs. Sadie Holden Nissen was engaged this year to instruct Junior and Senior Groups in Speech Improvement and Dramatic Interpretation. Classes were held Thursdays t roughout the season, beginning in October. On December 19th, forty-three pupils appeared in a program presented In the Spirit of Christmas for teachers, students, parents and riends. The combined classes, neat in Academy uniforms accented with Christmas corsages, made an at- tractive verse-choir speaking Gloria In Excelsis impressively. Each student was Cast individually in recitations or plays. Holiday humor highlighted several se- lections, but The Christmas Star, climaxed by a compelling Nativity Tableau, will remain longest in the memory of participants and audience. Colored moving pictures of the Christmas program, shown when classes were resumed after the holiday recess, were viewed with interest and many a chuckle as the participants saw themselves in action. Long-range planning for Spring Speech Presentations began when the Academy grounds were deep in snow. Anne Marie Thomas, Blanche Riley and Mary Brown began to prepare for the University of Maine Speaking Contest-Blanche also representing the Academy in the Spear Contest. The Stage Is Yours, a semi-public program scheduled for May 19th in the,Academy Auditorium, will display the results of the Thursday Speech Sessions-also affording the participants another valuable experience of speaking before an audience. Varied selections have been chosen, including The White Cliffs of Dover by Alice Duer Miller to be interpreted by the Verse Speaking Choir and solo read- ers. On the lighter side, there is The Persecuted Maiden, a miniature melo- drama by the Seniors and Help Wanted, by the juniors, assisted by Mr. Robert Carson. Each pupil will gain self-confidence and poise by speaking alone in play- lets, poems or monologues . . . briefly or at length. The Glee Club and vocal soloists always add charm and balance to Speech Recitals. The sincere good wishes of their Speech Teacher go with the Class of 1954 as they leave St. -Ioseph's Academy for further education, or a life dedicated to a profession, a home or the church. May they always remember they are human be- ings with a soul and the divine gift of articulate speech. -T lem' WAKING UP When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill, And wakens the birds on our window sill, Our hearts are Hlled with gladness, as dawn slowly comes, To begin our day At S. A. PATRICIA LITCHFIELD, '56 MAY In May little flowers lift up their heads, To bask in the welcome sun overhead, Little birds sing their sweet little song Happily and cheerily all day long, Thankful to God for letting them share The beautiful month set aside with care To honor and praise the Queen of Queens- The Blessed Virgin Mary, our Mother. RITA Tnuofrrs, '56 Glasses Mother, how can I! Glasses, ugh! Who wants to look at a girl wearing glasses? I don't really need them, do I? I bet you just want me to look studious. Oh, Mommy, when I walk down the street, people, will stare at me. They will probably say to themselves, 'Poor child, she must have studied too hard! They get that way after a while.' Oh, well, I might as well make the best of it. By the way, did you see those perfectly terrific frames in Charm? Do you think they would make me look too sophisticated? A I gp KATHERINE GRECO, '56 JM Z G 5 Els B.. SPRING Of all the seasons in the year The one of spring is held most dear For now the birds sing bright and clear To bring all hearts the best of cheer. The earth that once was dark and cold Is sprayed with flowers blue and gold In every perfect bud is told The hearts' desire of artists bold. The sun now shines on all the trees To give new life to their green leaves. The blossoms of the apple trees Perfume with sweetness every breeze. But why does spring from day to day More beauty add to her display? To answer this what does she say? For Mary's month, the month of May. NANCY CONNEEN, '54 SEASONS First comes winter Cold and bleak, Next comes spring-time Soft and meek. Then comes summer Bright and gay, And autumn next in full arrayg But most of all I like these three- Summer, spring and fall for me. CARLENE PICARD, '54 The Chapel at S. I. A. Before we begin our daily study, Or start our evening's fun, We visit the Lord in our chapel, Where He loves to have us come. C is for the Chapel, from our homeroom across the way. H is for the hymns we love to sing on each Sunday. A is for the angels, who dwell there adoring Him. P is for the prayers we say in the evening light so dim. E is for the entrance, revealing our chapel's charms. L is for the vigil lights, beckoning us to His arms. Taken all together They spell C H A P E L So dear to the hearts of the girls of S. J. A. RUTH CONLOGUE, '56 Peace Peace! What is it, where can it be found? Could a man gain it by seeking the whole world 'round? Can it be held or is it intangible? Can we believe in it, or is it incredible? Be humble, close your eyes in silent prayer And behold! You will know that peace is thereg For peace lies not in battle, or conquest of the sod,- But like everything else beautiful, Peace lies in God. PAULINE LEBEL, '54 FEBRUARY When study hour is over, We hear the lirm command, Each girl who has a pair of skates Skate! Skate! And don't just stand. We go downstairs reluctantly, We lace our skates right to the top. But once we're sailing on the ice, We know we'1l never want to stop. RUTH CONLOGUE, '56 THE FLIGHT OF THE SKIER He soared down the hill, On his face felt the breezeg No more exciting time Than when on his skisl The wind whistled wildly Through the snow-laden trees, While the skier rode by With the greatest of ease. At the end of the trail Breathless from his ride, The man on the skis H Took the cheers all in stride. ELAINE BoRnUAs, '54 ODE TO A FISH A fish that lolls and plays all day And never once offers to pay, A fish that may in summer dare To swim swift currents without care, Who thinks of nothing but himself But never seems to gain much wealth,- I think that I shall seldom dish' A plate as tasty as a fish. MARY A. 'BROWN, '55 E! WG 4' R 'v E if fl' . fl if A f Q 5 oW' ggi- oo OPERATION OBSERVATION A seat in the back of the classroom can prove to be a most advantageous posi- tion, if one looks at it from this point of view: one can observe without being ob- served Qexcept by the teacher, of coursej. Unless you have enjoyed the privilege of occupying a rear seat, you may not understand what I mean, so I shall endeavor to explain myself. You see, I find it a fascinating pastime to watch other girls while they recite. By now I know all their mannerisms and consequently know what to expect when each of my classmates is called upon for a recitation. One timidly and fearfully crawls from her placeg another jumps so quickly that she all but falls into the seat in front of herg one performs a sprightly ballet, complete with twirls, dips, glides, and pirouettes, another clicks the snaps of her uniform till she has everyone around her in a frenzyg there is another girl who grasps her chair for support, since the thought of giving a correct answer is too exhausting for words: still another has the habit of tugging ai her back pleats, much as a philosopher pulls his ear when in a particularly studious attitude. But when the girl in the last seat arises, very few see how she reacts during a recitation. So if you want to have a good vantage point in class, be the first to stake your claim on a rear seat next September! HELEN T. CALLNAN, '56 BABY SITTING When I go to baby sit 'Tis with two little boys who scream and kickg One is five, the other threeg But just the two are enough for me. From the start of day To the fall of night These two little boys just scream and fight. What can I do! cries poor little me, Why, I'll stand up and referee! At long last when their mother comes home, I'm sick and tired and weak to the boneg She then asks me, as a mother should, Have my little boys been very good? Well, says me, the referee, I'll tell you after you pay my feel ' ANN HoLt.Ywoon, '56 OUR FREEDOM Freedom is the gift which Americans treasure so much that thousands of men have fought and died for it. We treasure the right to worship God in our own way, to attend the churches and schools of our own choice, to have friends and to express an opinion without fearing imprisonment for doing so. We have just trials and free elections. We may own our own homes and have our own businesses. One hundred and sixty million Americans are happy that they have these rights but there are millions of people in other countries whose hearts cry out to be free of the smothering veil of the Iron Curtain. These people have no freedom. They cannot go to the Church of their own choosing, but must go to the Church of the state, where they are forced to follow the religion of the state. We must pray for these people and pray also for our own religious and civil leaders, that through the intercession of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, we may forever keep the heritage which we prize most-our freedom. MARY SIMMONS, '56 TELEVISION Television, a comparatively new invention, has, like many other things, good and bad features. There are educational programs, historical stories, and history in the making, from which lasting impressions will be derived. However, there are also programs which are potential crime builders and these programs certainly will not help to stop juvenile delinquency, about which we hear so much. Tele- vision, properly supervised for children, could be of great help to them in their study as well as in their recreation. Good Features: lj Religious programs a. Bishop Sheen 2 . b. Father Keller S 0fSPff1a1n0tf 23 Science and other educational programs SQ Historical programs Bad Features: lj Resultant lack of conversation in the home 25 Neglect of reading GAIL RAFFERTY, '56 NATURE'S BEAUTY The beauty of Nature lies in itself, In the skies and distant mountains, Also, those flowers on the shelf, And even a bubbling fountain. At the glory of a sunset And the entry of each new day, Nature's doing its very best To make for us a world so gay. The beauty of Nature all around Shows itself every day and night, And is always, everywhere, to be found, just look about, it's there, all right. PAULINE LAFLEUR, '56 Dear Diary: I iam afraid your poor, frail, short pages will collapse under the pressure of my account of Tuesday, November 17, 1953. The day itself along with the weather was terrible. First of all we staggered back from our classes with an overwhelming amount of homework. Here is an ac- count of it. If it is not. accurate it is because I have had a bad case of amnesia and so you will have to forgive my misinterpretation. I certainly will have to burn candles tonight to complete all of it. RELIGION: Write out for class the twenty-six given questions. LATIN: Pages 59-65. Read all the English and translate the Latin. Oh, well, only eighteen lines!! ENGLISH: Read a book for tomorrow. We are having a book report. I think to be funny I will choose Vanity Fair. After all, what are 693 pages, more or less, to read in a couple of hours? BIOLOGY: Pages 188-187. Learn thirteen phylums, give examples for each and be able to spell all scientific terms such as Echinodermata fwhich by the way means starlish in our languagej. Last but not least, BUSINESS ENGLISH: Learn the four rules-which cover one side of a piece of notebook paper: and write a page on Modern Civilization. I guess that's about all for today, not bad, right? Besides, I might need the rest of the candle to get undressed by.
