unior Class History June 1952! A hasty cross-country trip across the states and soon I would be back in Brookline! With a desire to refresh my memory about former events I withdrew two volumes from my zipper case. In the 1941 ASSUMPTA I read: Ours was a happy return to school. The first class meeting established George Duffy, Eileen Moore, Bernard Fleming, and Katherine Bailey as class officers. Septem- ber also marked our return to Junior Holy Name and Children of Mary conferences. The extracurricular activities were resumed with Glee Club and Assumpta Society drawing from the Junior ranks, Jeanne Donovan was director of the orchestra, Madeline Tarpy was pianist, Madeline and Florence Ryan were on the school debating teamsg Thomas Burns was elected football captain for 1941, Francis Kenney later became basketball captain-elect, and Henry Meade was our oratorical representative. All too soon four months of school passed and we began the Christmas vaca- JUNIOR OFFICERS George Duffy .... Prerident Eileen Moore .

Many of the Juniors were successful advertising agents for the 1941 Yaaanoorc. Jeanne Donovan opened up her home for a Yearbook Party during January. As in other years it was very successful. Undergraduate debate teams were or- ganized with an all-Junior membership. The third week of January saw us in at- tendance at the Senior play. The next week brought the outdoor winter carnival, a gala and novel event. On the first Friday of each month the delegates to the Junior Red Cross reported to the Boston Headquarters. Florence Ryan and Rita Neary were our representa- tives, In February there were some very tense moments when we watched the girls basketball teams as they marched on vic- toriously to the Diocesan Championship. Henry Meade was our divisional represent- ative when we won a second Diocesan Championship in Debating. Helen Quealy and Eileen Coleman were the clever twirlers for the Girls' Bugle and Drum Corps. Junior talent was in evidence at the Spring Concert for Margaret Joyce and Janet MacKenzie were soloists, Jeanne Donovan, Betty Downes, Margaret Shiel and Madeline Tarpey played piano duets and Paul Jellison, John Kenney, Thomas Burns, William Burke and Thomas Le- Vangie were prominent in the Boys' Glee Club. i We enjoyed our class Valentine party and Janet MacKenzie's efforts in the poe- try. The Weeks seemed to fly as we recall the landmarks: Motherls Club play, Peg O' My Hearty the Senior Prom, the Senior one- act play May 2nd, the Zeppelin party May 19, the Music Concert and Recital May 25 fJune 11, Graduation! Then we suddenly discovered that we were the Seniors-elect. RITA NEARY .l. ii X
