Sophomore Class Histor The year 1948 ushered in for the teachers of Saint Mary's Academy, the lweginning ul an ordeal from which they will not recover for many a moon. The Class of' 'ol had nothing to worr alwout in the earl da fs as the regular school . . - . Y . . V 5 ' s . , day was a pleasant affair with drawing and singing to lwreak the monotony of reading, writing, and arithmetic. But time marched on, and each year found us one rung higher on the ladder of education. Wliile receiving our preliminary education, we lost a few here and gained a few there. The original 1948 Kindergarten Class entered high school in 1957 with just a few changes. Upon entering our Frosh year, we were taken down a few pegs. The first year our work was not really easy, hut when you compare it with our second year studies, it was a cinch. Now that we are near the end of the Sophomore year, we are faced with the prolwlem of' passing our difficult second year sulviects. Un Sophomore election day, the following officers were named: President . . . Bernard Malone Vicefl'residcnt . Mary Carney Secretary . Kathleen Pellerito Treasurer .... Donna Bronson After ten grand years, the Sophomore Class is deeply grateful to the Sisters of Saint joseph, our priests, and our parents who have sent us to Saint Marys Academy. first Row, left to right fl.

Under the competent guidance of the Sisters of Saint joseph we received nine years of elementary education on which our successes this year and next are hased. Those years will leave an indelihle mark upon us. They developed us into Christian hoys and girls: gave us the pattern to follow for the future. ln Septemher 1956 we entered the halls of St. lvlaryls as Freshmen, After summer vacation we had to go through a Hreadjustment period hut the patience of the faculty headed hy Vicefljrineipal, Sister Merry, and our homeroom teacher, Sister Maria Nevis saw us through. The year came to an end with a pleasant class outing at Caroga Lake. The following year we lost dear friends and gained some new ones when there were changes made in the faculty. Our Sophomore homeroom teacher was Sister Charles Garnier, who still holds that position. Our junior year, under the guidance of Sister Nlustin, is now coming to a close and all of the upper classmen are looking forward to Class Day which will he held this year at the Manor. The Senior and final year, will present us with the choice of our vocation, upon which our future depends. Under the skillful guidance of Sister Fidelis, l'm sure our choices will turn out for the hest.
