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. ELAINE BORDUAS, 1954

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'
