Like a flash the years roll back and the events stand out as so many milestones in our career as Juniors of S. L. A. The first few days were spent in the usual preliminaries-greeting old acquaint- ances, arranging programs, relating our vacation experiences, and collecting books. To offset the turmoil the Annual Retreat was given during the early days of October. A fitting preparation for a good school year. The next event was the election of class ofiicers. And our choice for President was Stacia Cruden. We are proud of our leader, for Stacia will always stand for us, as all that' is sweet, noble, and loyal in life. Then too, we must not neglect to mention the other oflicers who so gallantly upheld her. We played hostesses at the Glee Club Party in November, when we entertained the High School girls. We lived up to our reputation of doing things well. And our party was voted the very best. Day after day slipped by-Almost too fast to be counted-and then Mid- Year Exams. Could you have heard the sigh of relief we heaved when we walked out from the last? But-after the storm comes the sunshine and we were soon back to the normal routine of class work, and good times. Easter!! Why do vacations pass so quickly? It merely portended the rest of the year which went by on Wings. Soon came the second whirl of Exams and then peace and sorrows of farewell-but we were to meet again in September. June always means Graduations and Graduates. And it was with admiring Cand enviousj glances that we followed our big Sisters through the whirl of joy and excitement of Commencement Week. We of the class of ,27 take this last opportunity to assure ,26 of our constant affection, and that our good wishes will follow them through their various careers. We are sure that they will bring honor to S, L. A. . The goodbyes of Commencement were not for long, however. ' We were to form a unit, of that vast army of School girls, privileged and honored to give homage to our Eucharistic God. The Eucharistic Congress took place in our big City, and we were especially favored in lending our voices to sing love and praises to our Triuriiiphaht What more be 'tiful crowning could there be of our Junior year-and a blessing too not onlyfffor our.g,.Senior, but a benediction that will still be felt down through the years to come.

Bubbling over with joy we re-entered the grand old portals of Saint Louis Academy and they seemed to smile on us a friendly Welcome , As yet we were known only as ex-Freshmen but we all pictured ourselves as jubilant Sophomores. Alas! A sudden shyness overtakes us, we feel rather. small as we find even a Junior is something you have to aspire to. But after having a plunge into Geometry and a taste of History we suddenly lose our self-conscious- ness and become fellow-students under the protecting walls of Alma Mater. Though knowledge bent, we did not neglect our social duties. The initiation of the Freshmen took place in October. After this rather informal introduction, the Freshmen were more like our younger sisters. To begin the year rightly a Retreat was made by the entire school. Reverend Father Major aided greatly towards its success by his many interesting sermons and talks. The Christmas holidays came to restore peace and good will After an eventful vacation we returned with hearts anyth1ng but light because of the terrorizing Mid years, which were soon to take up the center of our thoughts The results were not as traglc as we had expected, and we forgot all about them the following week As the year advanced so did the Sophomores 1n wisdom The Easter vacation followed Immediately after our return we turned our attention towards the Flnals The beautlful days of Spring had to be spent in struggling with Geometrv, English and History Graduation week' Will any of us ever forget that memorable day when we saw the Seniors, who were filled with Joy because they had attalned that long sought for Goal? But our Joy turned to sorrow at the thought of their leav1ng our beloved Academy We ask for you, Class of 1926 that your future years will be bright, successful and happy and if perchance, there come some sunless days that each of your clouds will have a silver lining v 7 .
