Now we prepare to venture forth into the unknown, adding to the knowledge and understanding acquired here. Our interdst in the world about us has led to our selection of a travel and exploration theme, Around the World, and we hope that 339, ' W our Qantoria will serve not only as a reminder of the enduring A Q i - friendships we have made here but will also serve as an inspira- A tion for our future journeys. .

'Throughout high school she has been an active participant not only in class projects brit also as a holder of class offices and as Gleegfllgb accompanist for three years. 'Her enthusiasm and abilities in sports are evident in that lshe has served as gym captain both in her Junior and Senior years, as general manager in her. Senior year and has represented Saint' Nicholas at the Annie Wright playday in- her junior year. We will never forget Nancy's willingness to co-operate with ,her classmates in every- thing from planning parties to compiling the Cantoria. I I 'F I S 1 l Happy-go-lucky Betsy is everybody's buddy. Although she has had many respon- sibilities and offices throughout her twelve years at St. Nicholas, she has never allowed them to interfere with her friendships. That she is a girl of many talents is obvious in the various oliices she has held and the many projects in which 'she has participated. She held three student body offices: treasurer of A.A., secretary-treasurer of Lambda and president of Lambda. Her extracurricular activities include being a member of Glee Club for four years, being a member of Nonette, member of Ski Club and Ski Team and serving as chemistry lab assistant.

T IW Aww l In her twelnie years at Saint Nicholas Judy has demonstrated awide range of abilities. She was on the honor roll and won a prize in an essay cdntest in her Freshman year. She has beenl class captain, .vice-president and treasurer more than once. In her Soph- omore year she was elected secretary of Student Government, received honorable mention in a national poetry magazine and served as copyi editor of' the Qzzill. In her junior year she was editor of the finx, a member of the Ski Team and organizer of our lucrative auction.

She has shown capa- bilities as class vice-president and captain. In her. Senior year-she did her share as that manservant Lanei in the Senior play and as an able alumnae editor of the Cantoria. Aside from her class activities she has rep- resented Saint Nicholas as Frederick's Fash- ion Board representative. We will always remember the kicks we got out of Vicki's zany humor and terrible spelling. wg, 1 l 'X I Wmqd 84469 Margot's activities are many and varied. That this girl has iher sharexof brains can- not be doubted. Not'only has she often been on the honor' roll, but she has also won the Prix D'l-lonneur inf French. She has ably served as secretary of Student Government and secretary-treasurer of Lambda. In her Senior year she 'enthusiastically participated in such class projects as the Senior play Cas jolly old Dr. Chasublej and in compiling the Cantoria, as assistant editor. She also was elected class captain and represented Saint Nicholas at the Civic Unity Race Con- ference. We will not only remember Margot for her abilities and quirks but also for her well-attended and enjoyed parties. 11 l r X . I . , i v. i flfmwy Gzaqm l I , Nutty is thel personified humor of our class. She has that talent for, getting away with things we don't dareq attempt, and we love her for it. She also has a serious side, an enthusiastic and efficient side. Although she has only been at St.- Nick for two years, she has, made hekself an indispensable mem- ber of our clasb'..Q-,She has ably served as class 'captain and gym captain. As well as participating in Clee Club, Nonette and the Christmas pagealnt, she has also put much effort into the cbnstruction of the Cantoria and every other ltlass undertaking. E i l l l l Jada Glam It is obvious that Linda is a born leader.

Not only does she ihaveremarkable analytic insight and a flair forwitty sarcasm, but she also has proficient talent for acting, as evi- denced in her portrayal of sweet yet devilish little Cecily in the Senior play. Every project she has undertaken, she has completed thor- oughly and efficiently. The combination of her cleverness, brains and attractiveness makes a great contribution to our class. 6.1.1.- Qfgazbaaa Zaamm i ie i Our class was really :fortunate when we acquired Gretchen in our Freshman year.

In 1945 she was promoted to pre-first, and finally, as a first-grader in 1946, she was joined by jeff, the twins Bledsoe, joan, Nancy Bain, and Mikie. These eight had their kicks and had a kick and a half when Margot and Linda enrolled in 1947 as second-graders. Everything went beautifully in 'third grade and then Linda flaked out, as usu41,,ana left in fourth. She must have enjoyed herself at that co-educational school, because she didn't return to Saint Nick until sixth -grade, in 1951, the year Mikie left. Mikie came back in 1952, entering as a seventh grader fminus her braidsj along with Judy Rogers and Peachy. Candy and Gayle joined our gang in 1953, as eighth graders, while Gretchen and Sharon came as freshmen in 1954. We 16 were well on our way when Nutty, Vicki, and Jean arrived, raring to go as juniors in 1956. In 1957 the class was completed on the arrival of Saint Nick's first exchange student, namely Fran- coise. Now we have reached the level of sen- iors, numbering nineteen ....

Regret- ting the absence of Casey Carlson this year, they welcomed Anne Wheatman and Ann Knowles as two new members of the class. Working together on the junior jinx, they tried to make each new monthly edition better than the preceding one. The highlight of their year was the Junior Prom, given in honor of the class of '58, which provided a lively night of fun for both classes. Their tea was in the Spring, honoring Mrs. Reiiler. On April 17 they gave a very successful fashion show, the last event of the school year for the lively juniors. The junior Class spon- sor was Mrs. Mates. i Carolyn Coleman Carolyn Coy Joy Daniels Nancy Dare ' 1 Judy Enge Gail Huey A Charlotte Hutchinson Ann Knowles Dana Lamont Penny Millington Sally Newton Lisa Powell l Wendy Trosper Judy Troxell Anne Wheatman 25 Mme.

A tea, honoring their former sponsor, Mrs. Reifler, was held near the beginning of the year and was enjoyed by mothers, teachers, and stu- dents alike. The two qualities of enthusi- asm and class participation enabled the Sophomores to carry off the coveted vol- leyball trophy. The class increased its treasury by making and selling St. Nicho- las and Lakeside pompoms. In addition, it has plans for an auction to be held on Activities' Day. The Sophomores are very proud of their class and of its accomplish- ments and will always remember their second year of high school as a rewarding and worthwhile one. l t i Lynn Amberg Rosalind Benaroya Carol Calvert Mary Elizabeth David Elizabeth Edmunds Marilyn Gandy Celia Hansen CAlice Harper Barbara Hiscock Ruth MacLeod Dede Martin Sandra McKinstry K Christie Mickelwait Anne Milner Abby Ann Moser Caroline Potter Dianna Tucker Jill Wahlenmaier jane Carlson Cara Collins Ruth Genung Linda Griffiths l Cynthia Katz Lynn Lasley Lucinda McMinn Melinda Meyer Nancy Nolan Nancy Pettit Judy Warrack Mary jo Wheeler I J I Mary Edith Wilkinson W f N-5... . 52 W2 I-.....

The Student Government Affociation is the foundation of school life, for it forms the Basic principles of good citizenship, personal honor and consid- eration for others. Through competitive sports, both intramural and with Helen Bush, the girls of the Athletic Arfociafion learned good sportsmanship, which is prac- ticed in the class room as well as on the playing field.

Quite apart from her co-operative attitude in all our activities and studies, her charm and outgoing friendliness quickly made her an accepted and well-liked part of our school and group. Her intelligence and keenness have stimulated us in class discussions while her humor and gaiety have added immeasurably to our enjoyment of our Senior year. We hope that she has profited as much from her year at St. Nick and exposure to American ways as we feel we have from our happy association with a person of such poise and maturity. Dlana.

As I thoughtof my Alma Mater, I re- called many things: the lower school operettas, the sacky uniform that I had worn for twelve years, the confusing problems that were always on the boards in the mathematics room, our high school English room, but most vividly I remember the school library. The library still is pictured deeply in my mind, although I didn't use it as frequently as other rooms. I dis- tinctly recollect the two brown tables with the eight chairs surrounding them, the mahogany television set, the dull curtains, and the shelves and shelves of books. I not only recall the tangible things but also the intangible objects, our class teas which were held there, council meetings, andthe friendly conversations that I had with my school mates while sitting- -in front of the fireplace. 4 As a first grade student, however, things like sweetmeat trees, Christmas and holly were what the library held for me. It seemed that the week be- fore St. Nicholas was dismissed for Christmas Vacation, there was always the familiar Christmas bustle in the vicinity of the library. .The smell of pine would constantly be drifting into our first grade room, and this pleasing odor reminded me of all the candy, presents and pleasures that were so near yet so far. As I moved upward from year to year and finally became a sixth grader, I remember the library, not for candy and Christmas, but for the vast adven- ture it offered me. Every Friday after- noon, our class would walk in single file down the hall into what I consid- ered dreamland. For forty-five minutes we were permitted to brouse around the shelves and select' a book which most interested us, Since I was in an eleven-year-old stage, I would search through the books until I foundone that would take meinto a dreamland of horses, then I would sit in .one of the yellow chairs and drift away. Since the library not' only reminds me of books and candy, but also of class teas and council meetings, the St. Nicholas library will always hold a special place in my heart. r I JOAN PALMER . , 12th grade Literary TRANSITORY MOMENT The sun tinged the moist dew of the grass. He stood there with childish hesitation. Slowly his small hand' drew from the ground an infant. buttercup encrusted with the gold of vernal sun- shine. , His nose touched softly the sweet, soft petals. His small, mirror- like, blue eyes seemed diluted with a yellow drop-of brightness. The hue of his cheeks flushed with the thought of possessing his own small piece of na- ture. Caressing it, he seemed to feel the pride of its existence. Entranced with his small soft garden, he stood motionless as a frog on a lily pad ob- serving the beauty and interest of the world with open eyes while the rest of existence floated by. God's small child hugged God's small flower. Both were young in being. The thread of nature seemed to tie them briefly together. A moment stood still. A breath of life stood still. A small boy stood still, withdrawn into his own silent admi- ration. I' MIKIE GRIFFITH 12th grade ASN I A SHOOTING STAR One night I saw a shooting star Ernhlazoned 'cross the shy, i And when that star should come to rest I knew that I would die. This was no common shooting star Flashing 'cross the nightj It was a wand'rin g, searching star That shone with seeking light. It was searching for a dream, Lost in paths of wars, Of hope and love and peace 'Long gone from earth's far shores. This star is doomed to roam Across this earth's vast land Until again the peace returns To rule with gentle hand. Then only will my life he through For as that star does cross the shy And 'ends the quest of peace on earth Then I shall hnow that I will die. . GAYLE CUNNINGHAM 12th grade , 49 A FRENCH GENTLEMAN-FARMER Thefirst, timerllsaw him, in his own house,. the contrast was just amazing between. him.-and the ,old-furnitured living room. He had a two-days beard, wore riding pants-but not fancy ones -worn-out ones, without color any- more, theshirt and the sweater were about the same color and about as worn out. I even noticed big holes in the sleeves! Heavy rubber boots with a little mud on the edges completed his dress. But when he began to speak and kiss my,friend's hand, everything changed as seen in a new light. He introduced us into his family house, old but clean, everything was good and in good taste. He took his' place in an armchair and it seemed natural-, he had a dignified grace. g V ' I I After awhile the conversation came to literature and religion. ,',- I had be- fore me one of the best examples of a widely-read and well-cultured man. He had read a lot and ,thoughtlover the ideas he had read. He had had the time to meditate. - And then, the rough part of him, his neglected everyday clothes, didn't seem any longer out of their place. On the contrary, it put everything on a spiritual level, and kept our minds out of the trivial side of life. . , This man was- a wonderfullexample of what is called in-France a gentle- man-farmer. He allied love for his fields, cattle-in one word for agricul- ture-with love for hunting, riding, reading and good music. This made a very unusual but so attractive com- position! , FRANCOISE SZIGETI 12th grade FW .

I Literary , Q.A ,WISH , If, apnong my many wishesi and dreams, ,I could have one particular wish fulfilled, then I would wish that I couldl recapture my faith--the un- wavering faith I had when I was a child. My faith was indestructible. If I ever questioned or wondered about sbmething, a simple answer would satisfy me. I neither wondered very much about life, nor did I qisaver about tlie thought of death. When I was told that there was a Santa Claus with eight reindeer, I did not fdr the leastmoinent doubt it. l L At my bedtime, when I washead charming fairy tales from a big pook, I listened, while my eyes were forused intently lon the reader's face. Ii was impatierlt with the slightest delay and sorry when the story was over. I fell asleep vslith a smile upon my lipsl and with pleasant, fantastic thoughts lin- gering ih my mind. I believed these fairy tales, and my unquestioning cre- dulity make me happy. Now that I have rezlched that certain stage tif so- phisticat'on, I think, there is nothing left forlme to do except to scoff at these stdriesl l Whed I was a child there was isoth- ing to wlorry about, because I was un- aware of the fact that the worldi pos- sessed both good and evil. I lived in a perfectl world, where everyone loved one another, not a place where every- one wasj constantly attempting to de- stroy hisi neighbor. As I dead this over, I am beginning to realize that the world of a child, having faith as its most prominent characteristic, ' is actually a sort of Utopia.

And the sea answered me in patient endurance . With one long smooth wave that rushed to my feet, It swept me out in one wave to greet And covered up its silent guilt By washing my footprints to mahe them melt.

My long hours of praying And crying Have slowly begun to destroy me With their lonely depression So now I have closed This phase of my life From my tired heart And maybe someday When I no longer think of it My prayers and hopes Will reach Him And be answered . . . LISA POWELL 11th grade - 50 EXCERPTS FROM A LETTER Dear Grandmother and Grandfather, As you know, we left England be- cause we had to go to the King's church. If we didn't go we would be thrown in jail. Some men were going to the New World called America. Father thought he would go and send for the family later, but Mother said she was coming, too. Since most of us were poor it would be quite hard to pay for ships but rich merchants said they would lend the money if we would give them half of what we earned in seven years, It seemed hardbut we said yes. William Bradford and Miles Standish came also. They both made capital leaders. When we finally saw land it was north of the land that the London Company gave us, so Miles Standish went on shore to get wood and see what it was like. All they saw was a dog and five Indians who were afraid of them. Finally they found a stream and thought it would be a good place for shipping. 26 acres of land were cleared and corn planted in the fields. The ground was all rocky and not as rich as England's. Not one Indian had been seen through all those months. Then one day an Indian came and welcomed us. Later he brought another Indian with him. This one spoke very good Eng- lish. He was quite nice and he showed us how to plant corn by putting three or four fish in with the corn as fer- tilizer. Some other Indians put a snake skin with arrows at Governor Brad- ford's door. That meant war. We only had 50 men, but we had lots of guns and ' powder and bullets, so we .put powder and bullets in the skin and sent it back. 'There was no war and I'm glad there wasn't. I miss you and so does everyone else. Hope to come home sometime to see you, but I suppose this is home now.
