IHI 'Ill llW came a new worry-- However do you open this thing--I've forgotten my combination! During the year there were try-outs for cheerleaders, raf- fling goods for the bazaar and receptions into the Red Cross. Then came the big surprise. We were going to put on a campaign to raise funds for a new Catholic I-IighSchool with the help of our parents and friends of the dif- ferent parishes. We were assigned at once the task to write essays on our ideas of the school we wanted. The contest was won by Rose Marie Marra. Ofcourse, everyone lived in dread and fear of Latin and geometry, but they really weren't so terrible. In fact, one member of the class got 100010 in the Latin mid -term exam! We enjoyed, in particular, dissecting worms and frightening certain members of the class. The time went only too fast for us. Our three-day Retreat, May Pro- cession, exams and we feltjust a little more grown up for we were Juniors. Remember the excitement of returning in September ? Names of Juniors appeared in all the organizations. Yes, at last we had made the news! We raised money for the Senior Picnic: we took an active part in the Sodality, theC,S,M,C. , the Student Council. We were honored, during the year, by a visit from the Superior of Saint Joseph' s Convent, Reverend Mother Agnes Regina and also from Reverend Father Kirwin, Superintendent of Diocesan Schools. Amidst activity and festivity, we stopped for a few sacred moments of our annual retreat. The days were going byg we tried in vain to retard their progress, exams, awful moments of dread, but at last the rainbow. Yes, we were Seniors. Seniors, abit dignified and familiar withall the old customs. Elections in this club and that, staffappointments for the first year book, Perfection- ist. How proud we were of this accomplishment. Visits to the various in- dustries in our city, sitting in on atrial at the Court House, observing the different stages in the printing of our daily newspaper, are some of the local interests that will long be remembered. Our Parent-Student dance, our Class Play, our visits to the Veterans' Hospital, reading to the children in Saint Mary'sHospital, all bring feelings of content for having done some little act to make others happy. Suddenly it was Easter and the days were flyingby--we had spring fever as the days of May drew closer and suddenly we were treasuring each moment, determined that Saint Mary's would be proud ofthe Senior Class of '54, . .each event took on special meaning, be- cause everything was happening for the last time, May Day, the Prom, the Class Awards and the stirring strains of 'Pomp and Circumstance'--- and it is time to say goodbye. The carefree days, the laughing hours will live on in our memories forever.
