Senior ClaJJ Jvidtory, Our class dates from September of 1948. Seven of us had graduated from the high school division and already knew the ropes : Jerry Rickert, De- lores Parks, Jarvis Clavpoole, Joanne Munson, Elaine Svmons, Bertha Stone, and Laura Jo Muessen. Thev pitched right in to help the new Juniors adjust to Seminary life. Also new was Miss May Russell, who succeeded Miss France as President, and the advances we made in our two vears here were in no small way attributable to her help and guidance. To get started as a class we held our elections. The results were Laura Jo Muessen, President; Joanne Munson, Vice-President; Jerrv Rickert, Secretarv; and Mary Lou Mumford, Treasurer. With our Miss Clutts ' s ad- vice we laid plans for the forthcoming year. Right away we saw our class- mates were really active members of Seminary or- ganizations. Jerry Rickert was student council Secre- tary, and Junior counci members were Joanne Munson, Mary Lou Mum- ford, and Ann Lewis. Junior Athletic Board mem bers were Jerry Rick- ert, Secretary, and later Mary Jane Wiles for Rec Games. Mary Lou Mumford was Samadra ' s Treasurer and Jarvis Clay- poole, its Custodian. Memorable events of our first year included the A. A. Fall Prom, our Autumn Serenade, November 6; our first Junior King ' s Daughters program on November 7; the Junior-Freshman plav which we worked on for months, with stars Laura Jo Muessen and Bertha Stone. We lost one member of our class Thanksgiving — Elaine Svmons with her memorable accordion. With December came the Baltimore Sunday Sun to photograph our Pageant as representing the true Spirit of Christmas. At our first Christmas Banquet we presented our skit, an original play written by Jerry Rickert and Laura Jo Muessen. We returned with the New Year, January, and basketball season. Our varsity stars were Joyce Busic, Laura Jo Muessen, Jerry Rickert, Bertha Stone, and Jackie Weaver. Too soon came ex- amining— and cramming. At the end of the semester Molly Marshall left us for a Navy wed- ding, but we added Bvrd Lynch to our roll. Februarv brought the cut system to the Semi- nan . Fortunate Juniors who made the Honor Roll and received the most cuts were Mary Lou Mumford, Ann Lewis, and Laura Jo Mues- sen. February 26 was our exciting game with Mt. Rainier, which we lost by one bitter point. That night was the Basketball Bounce— really a credit to the A. A. On March 26 was the spring play, Only an Orphan Girl — an old-fashioned melodrama complete with peanuts and can-can — will we ever forget Joyce Busic, Shirley Wilson, and Mary Jane Wiles — or Norma Weaver as torch singers ? Junior members of the cast were Laura Jo Muessen and Betty McWil- iams. April brought the confer- ence of the Maryland Asso- ciation of Junior Colleges at Towson State Teachers — and many Juniors went. Later our Mary Lou Mum- ford was made Vice-Presi- dent of the organiza- tion. Many Juniors were in the modern dance depiction of the Leg- end of Lorelei on May Day — the first rainless one in five years! Our Junior princess was lovely Joyce Busic, looking per- fectly beautiful in her lavender dress. On May 21 we took our suspicious Seniors down to the water — and a boatride, picnic, and what turned out to be a sub-zero temperature. We all huddled in blankets and sang and tried to stop our older sisters from being too weepy. Everything piled up on us now — and practically before we knew it exams were over. Graduation week rushed bv, and we were sad to see the graduates go — perhaps glad that we were return- ing for another year at St. Mary ' s. In another week some of us — Seniors now — went to Ocean City to stay with Man ' Lou Mum- ford. Our class reunion was planned for the last of August at Bee Jay Laufer ' s Pinehurst 15
