The magic formula - ':Curtain Going Up transplanted us from the stage of St. Nickis to the village of Greccio and the legend of the first Christmas Crib. A mania for contests seems to have invaded the room. So far, we've tried every- thing from scholarships to essays on How I Feel About Music. It must be wonder- ful to be an English teacher and have to correct these literary masterpieces. Now we'll take time out to say Thank youu to the Iuniors for entertaining us so royally at the Iunior-Senior Banquet. Eating is our hobby, and chief indoor sport, so we all had a salubrious time. Oh! Doesnit she look lovely? Is that a real orchid? Did Richard succeed in borrowing his father's car? This was OUR VERY OWN CLASS NIGHT! It was every bit as wonderful as weid dreamed that it would be. We floated on a pink cloud in Heaven instead of dancing in St. Nick's gym. How could one think of REGENTS at a time like this? Twenty-seven poised young ladies glided down the aisle of Saint Nicholas Church through an honor guard on graduation day. Had you peered closely, youid have discovered twenty-seven pairs of swollen eyes and tear-stained cheeks. Much as We hate to admit it, we'll miss school, our friends and teachers, but most of all, weill miss our beloved Nemesis, American History. The world should prepare itself for a drastic change, for who can stop twenty-seven determined nwomenf, CAny volunteers?j This is Station S-E-N-I-O-R signing off and bidding you all Farewell, Our next broadcast will be made in Heaven. I'll see you all then. I27l

The judges in the Miss America Contest, at Atlantic City, next summer, w0n't have as much trouble selecting their queen as we had electing our class officers. Being Number One Girl in the Senior Class is almost as important as being Miss America. Rita Hurliman was crowned Miss President and Ann Wangler, Geraldine Kustra and Ioan Schmid shared the reign as her attendants. The stage was darkened, the players were tense, when suddenly--a blood- curdling scream pierced the air. Then s-l-o-w-l-y, an unwilling victim was dragged before the jury. There could be only one verdict-GUILTY, of being a FRESH- MAN. And that, on Initiation Day, was an unpardonable offense. To be or not to be initiated, that was the question. CApologies to the Bard of Avon.j An American in Paris would be as lonely as a real Frenchman in the French Club, organized by Sister Maris Stella--FOR ADVANCED STUDENTS-ONLY. Even though we attempt to conduct our meetings in our native tongue, our English brogue always comes to the rescue when we're 'istuckf' I wonder if anyone in the audience knows how to say 'gOkay in French? And now, through the courtesy of our sponsors, we bring you the Senior Class Motto- Procrastination-ever backwardsf' If anyone doubts the sincerity of our devotion to our theme, we recommend a little chat with Sister Mary of Good Counsel. lim sure that she'll convince you that it's true. SHHI-Ill! No talking behind scenes, girls. Every little noise carries. Does that sound familiar? Could it be Miss Wesley directing the Christmas play? All the weeks and weeks of practicing and worrying had transformed mere lines into l26Il

CROFT SAINT NICHOLAS It,s wiser being good than had, It,s safer being meek than hercef, Although as quiet as a tiny mouse, Katie stands out because of her lovely black hair, a marked contrast to her ivory complexion. Being the diminutive member of the class has decided advantages, which Kate well knows, for, as a Iunior, she had the signal honor of leading twenty-six beaming archbearers on Class Night. Our Katherine is the mirror of courtesy and her dernure manner has won her many friends in her four years at St. Nicholas. Katie,s patience and understanding will surely make her career as a lady in white most successful. .. Qi JDJ, Q M- X. ,f 1-JF' ' .

Agility and speed have given her this prestige. Nance's loyalty and school spirit have encouraged others on the team. A carefree and jovial manner is Nancyas contribution to the class and she is ever on the alert for a good laugh. More often, however, she is the victim of some practical joker. Her knack for jitterbugging is leading her to two-timing to the music and fashioning an enthusiastic instructor for all having the courage to learn. As an R.N. , Nancy's years ahead can be no less than eventful and pros- perous. i281 An army of youth 1 WW K NF rmmuv' ' , ,- i
