Slowly, the curtains parted to display a setting of flowers and a gay panorama of color, a prelude to the formal presentation of the annual Senior Class Night program. All the torture, perspiration and tears shed during the long gruelling hours of rehearsal, were amply repaid by the enthusiastic response from the enthralled audience. Surely, the fact that most of the onlookers were our parents and close friends, couldn't have been the only reason for their very evident enjoyment. The program was one of quiet charm--the scene of a classmate's wedding, a rose garden in full june bloom, a happy reunion after ten years of separation. With song and dialog, we relived our happy days at Saint Nicholas Academy and bequeathed our honorable positions as Seniors to the Class of '52, The passage ,neath the fioral arches proudly held by the juniors arrayed in their dainty gowns of pastel shades, transformed the evening into a bit of fairyland. Tumultuous excitement reached its zenith as we joined our parents at the conclusion of the program for a few happy words before the dance. Lights dimmed to a soft glow, sweet, lilting strains filled the air as young couples glided past, lost in the enchantment of the moment. Silks and satins rustled to the accompaniment of gay laughter as we danced on into the witching midnight hour. The violins faded to a pianissimo, but not our spirits. With singing hearts and radiant faces, we regretfully left behind the joys of this night of nights, sending our thanks heavenward to the King of Kings and the Queen of Heaven, Mother Mary. This represented for us the fulfillment of a dream, a modern fairy tale, which had transformed each young maiden of the Class of ,5l into a living Cinderella. THIS WAS OUR OWN CLASS NIGHT. i431
