So the Freshmen told themselves as they took their places in Freshman homeroom on the first day of school. But they were! The Greenies felt strange, bewildered and uncomfortable in their new roles. But the strangeness wore off after the first week of classes. Father Flavian with his ever-ready phrase I'll 'splain went a long way toward this happy result, His artistic illustrations might have been an asset to any gallery! They got the point, however! Through lectures, projects and experiments, Sister Ginetta's science classes kept the Freshies busy all year round. Sister's jolly sense of humor made these classes most enjoyable. Putting in their appearance in Sister Elizabeth's algebra, the academic Freshmen soon made their ac- quaintance with the abc's and xyz's . .JAP .rsv- Day, their good sportsmanship and are welcomed into the high school crowd.

They learned to change their signs, and to add to subtract, and to subtract, to add. Then Latin, Latin, and more Latin - forty-five end- less minutes with long-suffering Sister Jose- phine, with one eye on her, the other eye on the clock, and both ears strained for the wonderful sound of the buzzer. But they learned! In English class with Sister Elizabeth, the characters of the Merchant of Venice , Treasure Islandn and other stories became real people. They learned style in composi- tion, increased their vocabulary and became convinced that it paid to be educatedn. Com- mercial Freshmen tangled with business forms and with typing keys until they achieved co- ordination of mind and fingers Linder the efficient guidance of Sister Josephine Riccio. A record year! Upper classmen remembered their own antics as they watched the frisky Freshies trying to adjust themselves to high school routine. Nostalgic memories of by-gone days were revived as the fsophisticatedj upper- classmen viewed the sea of devilish faces they encountered in the halls. Though happy-go-lucky and carefree, the Freshmen proved themselves quite capable and willing, and they responded beautifully to the guidance of their homeroom teacher., Sister Elizabeth. Freshman class night reveal- ed all the ingenuity, dependability and abil- ity to perform which lay hidden beneath their rollicking and apparently irresponsible natures. Diamonds in the rough, the Freshies were slowly but surely becoming polished stones under the careful supervision of their home- room teacher. Trying to prove they are good mathematicians, the Freshman Academic students battle with an algebra problem. As M. Romeo, M. Rubba, and A. Tomas- sone, struggle through their last steps, V. De Nar- do smiles as she tfiumphantly completes her problem. Y-.. W Fq'.3 4 .YI mm U.. 'U 3 lh' 'gl' ll ix ---A-uh-4, The Freshmen get their first taste of Shakespeare, and try their hand at portraying several of the great dramatic roles in the Merchant of Venice. C. Watson and C. Gantner entertain the clan as they portray Bassanio and Portia when she hands him the key to the Caskets. ,,-ff ,... :pi ea-e' -..,-
