JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY When we entered high school, we were a group of happy, excited youngsters, numbering thirty-eight. The first maior event of the year was the election of class officers. Norman Whitfield was our president: Phyllis O'Neill, vice-presidentp Iohn Welsh, secretary, The next event was the initiation. The sophomores summoned us to the chemistry lab where we were served with ice cream and cake. Not a bad initiation for the girls. The boys were not so fortunate. The three upper classmen took turns workin' on 'em and they received many spankings and what not. A Religion club was organized under the sponsorship of our class sponsor, Sister Marie Celine. We met weekly to discuss Catholic cur- rent events. We gave a very delightful party and Christmas play that year. We still hear reverberations of the glorious time we had, for our sponsor says the experience was new and unforgettable. A few fresh- men entered a State contest in algebra held in Muncie. We were also well represented in the school Oration contest, a freshman receiving first place. Four of our boys were prominent in basket ball, and three of them are now GAEL stars. In the school toumament our maroon and white came flyin' high - the freshies won second place. We also or- iginated the idea of having a mascot. Then came sophomore year, and the moving out of desks to give place to chairs. The change was made imperative because the inven- tive boys found that the squeaks of the old desks made good jazz tunes when manipulated skillfully. Class elections resulted in Iohn Welsh. pres.dent: Phyllis O'Neill, vice-president: Rue Walker, secretary: Francis Hatchford, treasurer. We had a Christmas party and a weiner roast as part of our social program. We won the coveted title of school champs. in basketball. The girls came in third in the girls' athletic con- tests. A Latin club, Order of the Golden Fleece, was organized under the auspices of our Latin teacher, Sister Diomira. We are now Juniors by dint of hard work, study and effort. After the hustle and bustle of getting our tools lined up to begin another year's work, we again elected officers. Iohn Welsh was our choice for the second time to lead our classy Mary Ellen Zerklebach, vice-presi- dent: Rue Walker, secretary, and William Hopkins, treasurer. The junior activities at St. Mary's are always concentrated on one objective-gathering shekels for the junior-senior prom or banquet. Up to date we have had four skating parties from which we accrued sub- stantial returns, thanks to the fine attendance of the student body. Cur Thanksgiving turkey raffle brought us a tidy sum: the turkey, by the way, was won by a gsister of one of our junior girls. We honored, according to custom, the seniors at a Christmas tree party and exchange of gifts. The proverbial good time was had by all. This spring the class attended a session of the State Legislature at ln- dianapolis. We were introduced to the rlouse by Representative Black, and to the Senate by Senator Vermillion. Through their courtesy we were given admission tickets to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument. Sisters Marie Celine and Diomira accompanied us on the trip. A French club, Le Cercle Francois, was organized to improve our conversational powers, to enrich our knowledge of things French, Constance Steimel, '88
