,49350 Three down, one to go, could have been our motto of that year. For the fltst time in history, three home- rooms were needed to house the 91 lasses who answered roll call. Quite early we realized what a wonderful thing seniority can be but we hope we didn't take undue advantage of the under classmen. Out Junior Play caused quite a stir and the pint-sized Thespians well de- served the applause that greeted them after the hnal curtain. Aching muscles was the price paid by -all those who worked on the Prom. A girl on the Stat Committee could be recognized by her glitterhing face and hair or her shellaced fingers. How- ever, the sky was a masterpiece. What if it did take a months and a half to sew it, and days of back-breaking labor to erect it? The look in the eyes of our Seniors was reward enough for anything. Quickly the year sped by. Gradua- tion of the Class of 50 left us feeling a little panicky, but in manner be- coming out rank we gracefully, yet gratefully, accepted the title of Seniors. 350351 At last it came, our senior year e the year to which we had looked for- ward so ardently. Yet, strangely enough, we felt sad about it for it meant that our time at St. Mary was almost at an end. Remembering the uncertainty of our first days in high school, we wel- comed those who were to be our hlittle sistersh with a picnic at Ault Park. The acquaintances formed that day made the initiation more personal and in- teresting. The arrival of our class rings caused quite a stir. Repeatedly, and with much pride, they were held out for inspece tion. From then on, senior conversa- tion displayed quite a bit of pantomine wespecially involving the ring hand. All too soon, Christmas came. After a great deal of practice we had the opportunity to carol for the rest of the school. Had it actually been three years since first we witnessed this senior tradition? The new year brought much ac- tivity. We settled down to work on out Memory Book, and after weeks of revising and selecting it was ready for publication. Its success gave us no little pleasure for it proved our pride was justifiable. Hardly was our re- treat over when preparations began for graduatibn. Those last days over-flowed with exciting activities; The Prom, the Din- ner-Dance, Baccalaureate Sunday ... now, all precious memories. Having attained our goal, a Catholic High School education, we resigned our position to the Junior Class, of- fered gratitude for those happy years, and reluctantIy became Alumnae.
