Class History Our Freshman year was one of adjustment and great fun. Marty, Margery, and Nancy Rossell joined our class of six. Our big project of the year was to design our red and gold class pins. At Christmas time, Dottie joined the Mystery Cast. Then, in the spring we invited the entire Upper School to an in- formal dance, famously known as the 'Bumble Bee Bounce. Our Freshman year was over all too soon and we went our separate ways for the summer, eagerly awaiting our Sopho- more year. As 'big' sophomores, so we felt, we began the year with three new students, Marlene, Connie and Mimi. We acquired that year a desire to sit on the floor, and every day after lunch, there we were. To make much needed money we sold beautiful blue and white sweatshirts. At a class assembly we staged a spelling bee - a great success. Then, in spring we had our lovely Sophomore Prom. Here we overlooked a few details like having invitations and naming our prom, but nevertheless it was a shining success. This year seemed to go a wee bit faster than the last, and soon we found ourselves almost Juniors. Now we were Upper Classmenl As members of the Junior Class, Dottie and Ginny shared the traditional honor of carry- ing the Crucifix in Chapel. This year the talented Juniors 'took to' knitting, everywhere and all the time. We were sup- posed to have a Junior dance but-we added it to our list of overlooked details. We did, however, sponsor a delicious hoagie dinner after Color Day, which helped our treasury im- mensely. In the spring we designed our red and white Class Banner which was to be presented at the Baccalaureate Dinner. Before we knew it, it was time for Commencement activities. Eleven very excited and happy Juniors received their caps and gowns and their much cherished rings. lt was hard to believe that we were now Seniors. Soon September came once more and we, aided by a new member to our class, Pat Clevenger, began our wonderful, memorable year as the Seniors of St. Mary's Hall. Our first order of business was to organize the Yearbook. This year it was to be completely new and different. Throughout the fall we were kept busy filling out college applications. Margery, Connie, and Marlene went on a New England College tour with Mrs. Flounders. lt was Christmas again and we had the tra- ditional honor of decorating the Chapel for the Mystery. On December twenty-eighth, we had our Senior Prom at the Hotel Hildebrecht in Trenton, New Jersey. Then in January came the much dreaded College Boards. With these out of the way we realized that it would soon be June and Commencement, when we would pay a fond farewell to our St. Mary's Hall.
