Freshman Poem September came with golden days While we were new to high school ways And thought it wonderful to speak New words in Latin every week. November cameg we studied more About the stalwart Greeks of yore, We learned of Shakespeare and his plays As swiftly passed December days. With dances, sports, and contests gay The winter months sped fast away And now has come another spring A message glad, yet sad, to bring. Soon we'll leave our freshman year, Yet memory's ties will hold it dear, Well laugh and think as years go by Of happy days in St. Mary's High. ELEANoR SHIEL '44 Freshman Composition written and rewritten Honor Roll representatives for November-December l37l General Science solves practical problems

Freshman Class History FRESHM John Meehan Emma Stuart Therese Hunt Robert Coakley A warm sunny day in mid-September announced our entrance into high school as new and inexperienced Freshmen. We were happy to welcome to our midst James Crane, Richard Grant, John Mahan, Fran- cis MacHowell, Paul Powers and later, Raymond McMaster. Eagerly we antici- pated the Halloween Dance at which the Freshmen were to be initiated into high- school life. Dorothy Larkin and Mary Dolan won first prize for their costumes. Winter arrived and with it the Ice Carni- val, at which Virginia Keady, Dorothy Lacy and Francis Mahoney distinguished themselves by figure skating. At the opening of the new year, the annual Freshman-Sophomore Oratorical Contest was held with David Horan, Donald Ford, John Gliver, Joseph Mc- Cormack, Francis Rafferty, and Robert Coakley participating, and David Horan winning honors with his eloquent address. With the approach of spring we devoted our attention to the Herald-Trmeler Spell- ing Bee contest. The class prizes, bronze medals, were awarded to Dorothy Reilly and Lucy Foley, who also merited the grade prize, a silver medal. VVC were proud to announce that Eleanor Shiel brought honor to the Freshman class by winning first prize in an art contest conducted by the Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animals. The Freshmen are also enthusiastic par- ticipants in the Bugle and Drum Corps, Boys' Band, Glee Club and Orchestra. Virginia Keady has displayed remarkable technique in twirling a baton. Eleanor Shiel, James Crane, Robert Coakley and John Meehan have contributed their tal- ents to the orchestra. Two principal num- bers in the Spring Concerts by the Glee Club were Patricia Lambert's piano duet and ElayneJacques' solo. In future years as we reflect on our high school days we shall recall our freshman year as one filled with happy and nevet-to- be-for otten events. , g ELAINE VK 1LsoN
