We are reminded that at Saint Nicholas we have built a firm foundation for our own lives with a strength of purpose as strong as the walls of our building and as meaningful as the facilities of its many rooms. We trust that in passing through the hallways of our future lives we shall always meet the spirit of comradeship and aspiration that we have enjoyed here. As the doorways of our own lives commence to open, we hope that we shall go forward in the spirit of progress and expanding ambition and helpfulness which is typified by the new addition to our beloved school. . . EDITOR 2 . -' Wifi? ornerotone i We proudly dedicate our CANTORIA to the ,new addition to Saint Nicholas. This project was begun and completed during our Senior year. We have memories of happy hours spent in the sunny, modern classrooms and hope future classes will enjoy it as we have. . . CLASS OF 1955 3 fi! MISS VIRGINIA E.

Good sportsmanship is practiced in the classroom as well as the gym. For this reason, the Athletic Association symbolizes the roof of our building, because without it our project would be incomplete. 'll The Saint Nicholas Biennial Bazaar is sponsored by Lambda Theta Upsilon to raise money for certain selected charities. Each class participates by having a booth at the bazaar. This year one of the freshman projects was a hot dog booth. One of the traditions of Lambda Theta Upsilon is the mock initiation which the freshmen and new girls have for two days early in the year. They are required to wear fifteen braids, each having a clothespin with a calendar number on it attached to the braid, tied with a colorful ribbon. They are also re'quired to wear their uniforms backwards and their fathers' shoes. Although this get up is uncomforta- ble and clumsy, it is fun for both the actives and the pledges. In their sophomore year, the girls who have gone through mock initiation are formally initiated into Lambda. After their initiation a tea is given for them. In the receiving line at the tea this year were Miss Smith, Madame Nichols, sponsor of the association, Alice Ar- nold, secretary, and Barbara Henry, president. amlwlct Shats: culaoilon BARBARA HENRX' President ALICE ARNOLD IXLLEGRA ARKLEX' S ecretary-Treasurer Secretary Treasurer First Semexter Second Semester The Lambda Theta Upsilon Association signifies the windows A through which we look in order to understand the needs of others and to help those who are less fortunate than we.

T Now as we leave you remember the class of '55 will return To the memories and joys that we treasure To be in our hearts forever more. The joys and the sorrows, the laughter and tears, The friends we've made here, will last the years, To you, St. Nicholas, the yellow and blue, We pledge our loyalty as now we say adieu. 16 ana 'EBel2ino Jana has lived by the Saint Nicholas motto, personal honor and consideration for others, for her twelve years here. Her guidance and leadership have inspired members of our class. Poise and friendliness a.re the keynotes to jana's personality. Her various activities have included sports, Lakeside play, Glee Club, and narrator for the Christmas Pageant. She has also held oflices in Student Government and has been a loyal, outstanding Senior Class President. goyce gale oyce came to Saint Nicholas in her junior year, bring- mg much artistic ability which we have depended upon for Jumor jmx cover drawings and the art work for CANTORIA In addition she was a successful senior class captain Her portrayal of Pierrot in the senior play Maker of Dreams and original composition, Baby Dont Wait for the Moon showed dramatic ccrcclee QVOIDVI An echo of gay, high-pitched laughter can mean only one person . . . Maralee, of course. She was with us in seventh grade and returned her junior year, making '55 a jollier class with her rare humor, unusual adventures with Beany, and giggle-bug seizures. Seri- ously, though, as class captain and Business Editor of CANTORIA, Maralee has been dependable and enthu- siastic. She has been active in school athletics and social activities. We know Maralee's cheerful person- ality will bring her success in the future. I7 ccrian Tawoon Petite, sprightly Beany came to Saint Nicholas in her junior year and we immediately recognized her spar- kling individualities. Her hilarious denseness sends us into fits of laughter. She has the distinction of being class captain in her first year here and has willingly taken part in all senior activities. Beany was a royal, frightened queen in the senior play, even though she did get the giggles. She possesses a gaiety and sweet- ness we will never forget. jlcaflflerine Qluino Kitty has surprised us many times in the last two years. An ardent Texan, she. has familiarized us all with the particulars of her favorite state. A talent for comic acting was brought to light when she portrayed the ballad singer in the senior play and colored mammy in the mixer. Possessing a keen sense of humor and willingness to help whenever needed, Kitty has become a vital part of our class. ' nne Qode roy We greatly appreciate the immeasurable hard work, time and energy Anne has devoted to our class. Cre- ative, cheerful and enthusiastic, she has taken part in athletics, Glee Club and all class projects. She has held class offices and has efficiently served as librarian, chem- istry lab assistant and member of the CANTORIA staff. Her avid interest in photography has helped us pre- serve many fond memories. We could not do without perky, reliable Anne. 18 . ccrolyn Qrcxcey With her ready wit and flashing brown eyes, Carolyn has contributed greatly to the spirit of our class. Her proficiency in ballet and piano have made her a major part of our school events. Class captain in her sopho- more year and Feature Editor of CANTORIA, Carolyn has shown a sense of responsibility. We'll remember her as possessing the characteristics of Pierrette, whom she portrayed in the senior play-a blythe, lyrical spirit and a tender, loving heart. idfbdfd enry With a hop, skip and a jump, the Mime was off the stage. Vivacious, cute Barbs played a typical part in the senior play. She has kept our spirits high with her bubbling enthusiasm and crazy new ideas. We all envy her petite figure and beautiful summer tan. Capa- ble, as well as energetic, she has been treasurer and vice-president of the Athletic Association and a con- scientious president of Lambda. Always we will re- member Barbs as a fun-loving classmate. uzccnne gut-xy Suzanne is president of the Athletic Association and wears the S pin, symbol of proficiency in athletics and of superior sportsmanship. Her true spirit has been a stimulating influence in the progress of our class. She has held numerous school offices and has maintained a high average in her studies. These re- sponsibilities have never extinguished the roguish twinkle in her big brown eyes. Suzie's hilarious, shocked reactions delight us all. Reliable, fun-loving Suzanne is the friend of each of us. 19 3:-:toy feauitt Since Betsy's return her junior year, she has been active in all our projects. As Associate Business Editor of CANTORIA and a class captain, Betsy was a conscientious worker and leader. She turned out regularly for sports and participated on all-our teams, managing the cham- pionship volleyball team. Her beautiful eyes reveal the thoughtfulness, poise and spark for which she is known. We will always remember Betsy as a fun- loving and helpful member of '55. Sallie Clfncgacheran Cracker has an infectious smile and is an energetic, fun-loving gal. We love her jokes and ability to liven up a party. She took the leading role of Little Boy in the senior play, Six Who Pass While the Lentils Boil, sending her classmates into gales of laughter when she sat on the floor instead of the stool. Sallie was class captain and gym captain during her junior year. Clfnary Cnewton We all love Fig. She has an individual charm with her beautiful, blond hair, blue eyes and friendly smile symbolic of her warm personality. Her enthusiasm has made her an active participant in school affairs for twelve years. She has had a particularly busy senior year, serving as volleyball manager, Alumnae Editor of CANTORIA and a capable class captain. Sincere in- terest in all of us, cooperation and responsibility have made Mary a lovable classmate. 20 Karak J Sally calmer Combine flashing red hair, sophisticated personality, inexhaustible energy-that's Sal. Her interest and ability in sports have helped us win many victories. As Associate Editor of CANTORIA, she has shown elli- ciency and a skill for writing. Our senior finances have been ably managed by Sally as class treasurer. Her portrayal of Mrs. Hardcastle in the Lakeside play and of a very convincing blind man in our senior play showed a knack for acting. Sally's gaiety, friendliness and clever ideas have endeared her to all. Suoan CEc-:eel r rtstp uf' M6529 W Sonya cpetero Although Sonya has been here only two and a half years, she has won a definite place in our hearts. Her extraordinary sense of humor has always kept the class in stitches. Sonya has won the admiration of the whole school for her warm friendliness to all. She has served ably as class captain, gym captain and Activities Editor of CANTORIA. We shall never forget Sog, the party girl of our class. Pretty, jolly, natural, enthusiastic and capable . . . that's our Susan. She has been at Saint Nicholas since the first grade and was elected to the highest oHice in the school her senior year-president of Student Govern- ment. Susan has combined strong leadership, athletic ability and scholarship to win the admiration of her many friends. A slip of a wig in the senior play, a merry burst of laughter, or a sparkling smile imme- diately identify Susan, one of the most popular seniors. 21 X si? 1' ii?5imE- N- M.-x -K QA 5-kk... ,Q xr x,Qsx.x X... . X ccrroll Sutherland We have known Carroll by her cute, pert ways since she came to Saint Nicholas two years ago. Although shy and quiet, she has an unparalleled wit and gaiety. Carroll is always even-tempered and has vigorously participated in our activities. She worked diligently on the Junior Jinx, was treasurer of the junior class and secretary of the senior class. Assistant to the di- rector of the senior play, she performed her duties faithfully, acting as a very patient prompter. . A xxx XXX? . -- s11fS3'fEfAX2sYa5v - -A . U -.bxxx X.. X , , xvt-tw X stirs Cmary nn .Short Mary Ann is a warm, friendly girl, accented by spar- kling blue eyes and pretty, dark hair. Although she has been with us only two years, a supreme effort to work willingly has won her a place in our class. Mary Ann loves to have fun, and her gaiety has always added life to our parties. She has participated in athletic activ- ities, has taken an unique part in the senior play and was an excellent narrator for the Christmas Pageant ara qDilliamo At Saint Nick, W stands for work, wit, warmth and Willie. The four are practically synonymous. Sara's limitless work as Editor of this year's CANTORIA is deeply appreciated by us alll. In previous years she has been class captain, vice-president of Student Govern- ment, and Editor of Jinx. An efficient, understanding executive, she has always balanced responsibility with priceless good humor. We'll think of Hawaii and Sun Valley, but, above all, good times when we remember Sara. 22: 34654 cpicfureo COLE elcwo Clljill W, the Clan of 1955, heing of weakened mind and hody, do herehy in desperation declare this oar laft will and testament: , BEKINS leaves Saint Nicholas after twelve years.

GODEFROY leaves her loose screws to jennifer Paul. GRACEY leaves for parts unknown. HENRY leaves her energy to all future seniors. IVEY leaves her figure to those who diet.

WILLIAMS leaves her short hair to Valerie Dempsey. . . . CLASS or 1955 eh-:wo rophecy Oh, what of the Class of 'Fifty-five? V Toward what attainment! will they strive? Will they hitch their wagon to a star? Now it'.f 2004, and they've all gone far. BEKINS now is in the stars, She is taking her van to Mars. Then there's BROWN and her staccato, She's just another Crazy Otto. School life for JOYCE was full of preparations Which suited her for the United Nations. And BEANIE DAWSON who always Hubbed, Now she's president of the W.W.O.P.O. Club. As a noted socialite ELVINS will rate, And really go far in the Lone Star State. Here comes GRACEY, a spritely femme, Now she's understudy for Martha Grahame. Why there's HENRY-she was never good- Now she's tops as professional hood. Time was when GODEFROY merely cut a rug, Now she's famous as a shutter bug. IVEY is known far and wide in the nation, As a foremost teacher in Physical Education. Take your troubles to LEAVITT if you're forlorn, She's writing a column Advice to Lovelornf' If your wish might be a walking spree, MCEACHERAN will guide you through Yosemite. NEWTON is WANTED, her actions are sly, If seen, please notify your own F. B. I. Many ambitions had PALMER toward which she was aiming. She has relinquished them all to teach Driver's Train- ing. Her school days were spent finding ways to pester. Now PETERS serves time as a Police Court Jester. A dancer? a singer? which art would she feature? REED gained her fame as a Chemistry Teacher. A name to be feared and avoided is SHORT. As truant ollicer she's filin g her deadly report. SUTHERLAN D tripped through school both bravely and gayly. Now she's Lady Lion Tamer for Barnum and Bailey. Who teaches the hula at 'Waikiki? It's WILLIAMS who sways 'neath the Banyan tree. 24 'll oe L 0 ua Ill ': I ll: Ill ia' 4 Q o 8 D.

HEILMAN Sponsor unioro Under the guidance of Mrs. Heilman, the juniors spent a busy year participating in school activities. Begin- ning with a clever Frankie and Johnnie skit in the Senior Mixer, they set a lively pace. During the Christ- mas ,season the class sent a CARE package to Korea to help. educate small children. In February the juniors were well represented at the religious conference at Annie Wright Seminary. Throughout the year the girls worked hard to compile the school paper, the junior Jinx. With energy and cooperation, the juniors have added bricks to the building. One more year and the project will be completed. 26 Valerie Dempsey Ellen Agen Allegra Arkley Alice Arnold Louise Edmunds Nancy Nickum 5 N N X X X X ix N X N X N X .

The Senior Play, under the able direction of Mrs. Reifler, was given on November 10. By breaking away from tradition and giving three one-act plays-My Ladylv Lace, Six Who Pass IV bile the Lentils Boil, and Maker of Dreams-the seniors offered to the audience a more varied program, and they afforded to all the opportunity of participating in the production. 41 Glee elulv J l The Saint Nicholas Glee Club, which throughout the year adds much musical enjoyment to school life, is directed by Miss Doreen Lidgate. Besides singing for assemblies and the Christ- mas Pageant, the Glee Club sang at Helen Bush and the Women's University Club. The club's officers are Jana Bekins, presidentg Sally Loken, roll officer, and Judy Hatch, librarian. For the first time students have accompanied the Glee Club this year. Diana Gardner and Nancy Bain, two of our best pianists, have fulfilled this duty very successfully. Cghriotmcw cpageant This year the Christmas Pageant was The Perfect Gift, the story of a young man's search for the Christ Child. Susan Reed por- trayed the young man and Barbara Henry was Mary. The pageant was narrated by Mary Ann Short and Jana Bekins with the Glee Club singing in the background. 42 unior rom On january twenty-ninth all the juniors and seniors attended the Junior Prom, honoring the seniors, held in the junior Ballroom of the Olympic Hotel. Mrs. Richard L. Neil, senior class sponsor, and Miss Virginia Smith were the honor guests. Joyce Pankratz entertained everyone at her house before the dinner-dance. The theme, Night in New Orleans, was carried out by clusters of pink and black balloons, colorful top hats and masks sprinkled with diamond dust. After an excellent dinner, the couples danced to the versatile music of the Chanticleers and mixed later during a masquerade dance. Fun continued after the gala Prom at parties given by Louise Edmunds and Barbara Henry. 43 xchcmge uncheon 5 This year, for the first time in many years, Saint Nicholas and Lakeside had an exchange luncheon. On December seventh the Saint Nicholas seniors went over to have lunch with the Lakeside seniors. The Lakeside juniors came to Saint Nicholas. The little orchid cor- sages given to the Saint Nicholas seniors were a surprise that greatly added to the occasion. Everyone had a good time and is eagerly anticipating another exchange luncheon. fyzaohion Show On March twenty-fifth the seniors pre- sented a Fashion Show sponsored by the Assembly Room and the Pied Piper Shop. Representatives from every class modeled smart spring clothes from the two shops. 44 N. i xx X X A X x ' X x X x X X Kb N X NY N b X. X J in , S ' ,-'55-5 E mx- ' if ASQ, 5 -NNW M . X X F.

White-capped waves leapt and curled about the white schooner, tossing it like a child's toy. Thunder resounded in never-ending rolls across the darkened sky. Bolts of lightning flashed, illuminating the stormy waters. Terrified white faces shone in the inky blackness of the schooner's cabin. On the heaving deck men, fighting with superhuman strength to save their lives, clung to the ship's railings. The sea reached and stretched its long arms for the ship like a gigantic monster reaching for its prey-ever reaching, sucking, drawing the ship into its tortured soul. Gamely the men battled this black monster. But the monster would not release its victim. Pounding, lashing, tearing, the sea battled with all its re- sources. A great chasm yawned ahead. Down, down slipped the schooner. The sea closed its mouth, drawing the ship into its unknown depths. The white faces relaxed in the inky blackness. Peace settled over the valiant men and ship, but the sea battled on, ever seeking a 'new victim to satisfy its hunger. BETSY LEAVITT, Class 12 The influence of a squashed caterpillar, a can of tuna, and my brother on me As a child, I loved to play by myself. After my afternoon nap, Mother would send me outside, and there I stayed, perfectly content to be by myself until dinner time. One day I remember being particularly anxious to get outside. The afternoon before I had squashed a caterpillar on the sidewalk and I wanted to see if it had turned into a butterfly. My older brother, who was nine, had told me that when a caterpillar died, it turned into a butterfly. Since I was a little doubtful of anything he said, I had killed the caterpillar in order to check his theory. When I got outside I found that the caterpillar was still in the same form as the day before. I stared at the mashed fur for a long time, hoping that a transformation would take place while I was watching. I was just about ready to go and tell Mother that my brother was a liar, when I saw a wisp of smoke float over my head. I turned around to see where it was coming from. Seeing that the source was in the woods at the edge of our property, I ran across the lawn and made my way through the underbrush, following the smoke as I went. At the source I found my brother calmly roasting a can of tuna fish over a small bonfire. I gawked at him for several moments before I could say anything, and when I finally did find words I said, I'm going to tell Mother on you. He gazed at me as though extremely bored by my unworldliness and said, Go ahead. I didn't know what to do when he said this, so I stood and stared at the can of tuna fish that he was cooking. He had the can propped over the fire between two large sticks that were about ready to collapse because they, too, were burning. Finally the sticks did fall apart and the can landed in the ashes. My brother maneuvered the can around until he got it out of the fire. Then he cooled the charcoal-covered tin by pouring the bucket of water on it. Next he proceeded to open it with his jack knife. The aroma that came from the can was tantalizing. lt was sort of a fishy, smoky, woodsy smell. I must have looked as though I were very hungry because my brother shared the whole can of tuna fish with me. As we sat there eating I asked him about my squashed caterpillar, and he told me that I would have to be patient because butterflies didn't just grow overnight. Then my brother made me promise not to tell Mother that he had built a fire, be- cause he said that mothers didn't understand things like that. I promised to do as he asked. While my brother put out the fire, I ran back through the woods, across the lawn to the side- walk to have another look at my squashed cater- pillar before going inside. It was still the same as before, but I now knew that my brother was right when he said that if I were patient the caterpillar would turn into a butterfly. ALLEGRA ARKLEY, Class 11 Standing high on a windy hill You hear a cry both loud and shrill. Someone is calling you, Please come down- Down to the shore where mystery is found. The waves crash, the tide rolls in- Your heart pounds, your head spins. Out of the mist, the cry comes again. Is it real or from within? Alone I see the wind blowing in fxtful gusts Over the restless ocean, And hear the mournful Cry of the gulls as they Circle slowly about. As I sit by my lonely Window I wonder if The whole world is as Full of sadness as I. MARY HORNBY, Class 11 The Dream I dreamed I was a little cloud Floating above on high- Reaching to the rainbow abode In the misty depths of the sky. In the land of rainbow colors Gleamed the orange, greens and blues, But of all the celestial wonders, The greatest were the bright red hues. For red is the color of lite, The color of sun and stars, A symbol of Satan's ire, Be it on Earth, or Moon, or Mars. LEANNE WILSON, Class 9 Chris Filled with ecstasy, down on the shore Where the waves break and the ocean roars You run acrazed into the night Seeking, desperately, with all your might. Suddenly a figure looms out of the mist. Is it a dream or is it Chris? Seeing the face in the clear moon's beam It's Chris, it's Chris-it isn't a dream. LUCY CANTRIL, Class 10 Twilight Enchantment The waves roll in on silver finsg The skies are blue 'neath rosy hue. A lonely mermaid's wails reach the shore. Mountains tower aloft in deep snow, Peaks ascend jaggedly, lurid in glow. Breezes frisk musically through the tall trees, Frolicking down, they blow sand to the seas. White gulls soar low in velvet sky, The evening prey will soon leap high. A lonely mermaid's wails reach the shore. Soon nature's colors fade to a dim haze- Twilight enchantment, a mystical phase. Then Darkness turns on the heaven's small lights Hush, lonely mermaid, be quiet! 'Tis night. SALLY PALMER, Class 12 Seattle by Night A maiden demure she is by day, But night reveals her, ah, tres gai. A jeweled queen she rules the night, Enchanting woman in dazzling light. Strands of diamonds festoon her hair, Dusted with rubies and emeralds rare. Her finery gleaming in a shimmering mirror, Reflects her radiance glimmering clear. - Enticing jewel, resplendent by night, Even'tho' a maiden demure in the light.
