imfi i£ of a Junior 1 June ’48 Dear Diary: As early as our graduation day from eighth grade in June, '47, the class of ’51 was eager to be a part of the S. M. A. High School. However, it was not until after our initiation in October that we were told we were officially “in.” Starting immediately to take advantage of our privileges as Fresh- men, class elections were held, resulting in: President Ann Heaney; Vice President, Roger White; Secretary, Robert Hayden; Treasurer, Robert Morin. We were represented in a Thanksgiving entertainment in the Parish Hall by a few of our members. In March, under the guidance of Sister St. Jude, our homeroom sister, we staged a raffle whose proceeds went to the Bishop’s Relief Fund. • » June ’49 Dear Diary: September is here already and we find ourselves in the same room, but under a different teacher’s jurisdiction, Sister Mary Karol, and under a different name, Sophomores. Mother St. Oswald left us and was replaced by Mother Margaret Joseph, who is still with us. Election followed in short order with our President being Robert Hayden; Vice President, Robert Morin; Treasurer, Kathleen Conway; Secretary, Marie Deegan. Basketball proved to be the outstanding feature with us that year. We boasted five members on the J. V. squad: Willard Dougherty, Jack Leonard, Don LeBarron, Lenny Liporace and Roger White, with Kathleen Conway representing our class in the cheerleading section. Our happy days as Sophomores were darkened by the death of one of our classmates, Francis Morin, on April 9th, 1949. June ’50 Dear Diary: Reviewing our years as Juniors, we found that it offered much more in the way of activities than did our two previous high school years. Our homeroom sister, Sister St. Jude, lectured to us on the importance of get- ting that ever-essential major in our third year if we expected to be gradu- ates of the class of ’51. With this in mind, and also with the knowledge that we had only two years of high school left, we knuckled down both to studies and fun. Class elections came first with Robert Morin, President; Leonard Lipor- ace, Vice President; Albert Myers, Secretary, and John Moore, Treasurer. Basketball again took the limelight with three of our classmates on the Varsity team: Bob Morin, “Butch” Yavaniski and Lenny Liporace; and six on the Junior Varsity: Willard Dougherty, Walt Webster, Bob Hayden,
