The time has come to bid adieu to high school life and yet, none of us has completed her education, for human life and education are inseparable. As we cast a backward glance, it seems but a short time between our initial day in high school and this memorable night, which practically terminates a quartet of joyous years. In the interim we have acquired confidence and appear to have taken several necessary and important steps toward a successful future. Our benefits have have been twofold in that we have secured religious education for which we sought admission, and training that will stand us in good stead throughout future years. All this naturally turns our thoughts to those who have played such an impor- tant role in our individual successes. To Right Reverend Monsignor james McGloin, we extend our gratitude for his untiring efforts in making St. Nicholas what it is today. We shall never forget his inspiring advice and guidance which have been instrumental in bringing us nearer to jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother. To Sister Mary Inez and Sister Mary Joanna, principals during our pleasant sojourn here, we owe heartfelt thanks for untiring patience and interest in steering us toward the goal symbolized by this occasion. What successes we may achieve, whatever accomplishments may become ours, we shall share with our beloved faculty, whom we have always found interested listeners and wise counsellors. They, too, will experience with us, the thrill which comes from something accomplished, something done. To our parents, we pledge our undying gratitude for the numerous sacrifices they have made for us to acquire a Catholic education. They have taught us that the wealth of a nation lies in the integrity of its families, and we, on our part, have accepted our Catholic home training as the seed of American life. In facing young womanhood with faith born of trust in Divine Providence, joined to courage and determination, our ambitions will undoubtedly carry us far afield. But, wherever we may be, may we profit by the influence of the principles and precepts assimilated in our associations with Saint Nicholas Academy. Our places will shortly be filled by others, just as eager, just as determined to succeed. It is our sincere wish that all the delightful and valuable experiences which have been ours, will descend upon them in full measure, that, when their turn comes, they may be as regretful to leave the Academy as we are this evening. za.. 4 zfmem.. i23l

74a Seaiofw 2 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS LEFT TO RIGHT-Geraldine Kustra, Secretoryp Ann Wcngler, Vice-Presidenlg Joan Schmid, Treasurery Rita Hurlimcm, President. This is Susie Senior, your Class Historian, broadcasting all the exciting, heart- warming and amusing news of the Class of 1951. In the year 1947, the atom bomb became more than a secret experiment, the United Nations were trying to establish a lasting peace, and OUR CLASS ENTERED SAINT NICHOLAS ACADEMY. The spectacular glory of the Eucharistic Congress made us feel as though God had given us a precious gift by letting us begin our high school career the same year as the Diocese of Buffalo celebrated its one hundredth birthday. We even paraded in honor of the occasion through the scenic section of Buffalo -lower Main Street. The kind seniors made us feel very Welcome by inviting us to be guests of honor at a banquet. There was only one catch-we had to provide a free floor show. Initiation proved to be a real test of our womanhood. Our grown-upi' sophistica- tion deserted us and our knees shook as, one by one, we stood in the spotlight. Sister Madeleva, our homeroom teacher, was the only Freshie', who enjoyed that performance. Our early Pilgrim Fathers established a democratic government and we, their great-great-grandchildrenf, attempted to exercise our priceless heritage by electing Ioan Schmid, Rita Hurliman, Patricia McKenzie and Marjorie Van Buren as our leaders. Like Pandora, we opened a secret chest at our Christmas Party, but instead of inflicting evil C???j upon the world, We displayed our talent for the approval of the Academy. After January exams we staged a raffle. An epidemic of spring fever and day- dreams later invaded the class and we counted the hours, minutes and seconds until June with its promise of summer vacation. THIS IS STATION F-R-E-S-H-M-A-N signing off with a message to all of our classmates: HAVE FUN! And now, dear listeners, Aunt Susie continues the story of your favorite class. We've aged', quite a bit during the summer. Why, weire old enough to behave now! Sister Maris Stella should be proud of her forty-three KSOCKOMORESW This quaint title was bestowed upon us by a potential classmate - a first grade girl. CShe has about the same mentality as most of us.Q 1241
