Timidly We Began As Frosh It began September 4, 1959. Identification tags were pinned on us. We were decked in school colors and branded with the title, freshie. We started our high school career. As our green year ended we felt all our expectations were fulfilled. No one but the freshmen were so outstanding at the dances — we made the cutest wallflowers. No other class froze as readily or sat as stiffly on Home- coming day as we. At assemblies and games we were present en masse. On Color day we produced a spectacle of scarlet and gray. The magazine drive would not have been as successful nor would our mascot Bobo have been as exhausted if we had not participated. We managed the clothing drive and sold tickets for the Senior Play. In spite of the whirl of activity, we found time to study. Our spiritual life, too, was strengthened through daily Mass, First Friday Communions and the annual retreat. In all, it was a busy, challenging and rewarding year. AS THEY STUDIED THE SCHOOL PENNANT to learn its symbolism, freshman class officers Elaine Wasung, vice-president; Walter Socha, president; Eugene Brach, treasurer; and Judith Mazur, secretary, built up their school spirit.

BUYING BOOKS, old and new, called for many shrewd money deals. Jacqueline Kurawski, Diane Volinski, Robert Selke and Donald Sioma took the easy way out and bought new books from Sister M. David at the bookstore. Such a stack of books WHERE DO WE GO NEXT was the question the Freshmen asked on Orientation day. Charles Cholewa double checked his card as Senior Charlotte Burzynski assisted Camille Misukiewicz and Judith Mazur locate themselves. should have dismayed the new Freshmen, but they seemed rather pleased at being the proud owners of so much knowledge. Even the boys smiled. THIS CAN'T BE IT Diane Salaski and Robert Omilian thought as they checked their schedules against a first grade room. 7
