The sick-looking smiles on our faces were poor covers for the sink- ing feeling we experienced. The Seniors stared as though we were on exhibition las if we weren'tl and the upperclassmen laughed. making us wish we were still in Grammar School. Oh! relief at last, at least for the time being, for we were ushered in the audi- torium by Sister Maria Walter and then placed in the friendly and capable hands of Sister Margaret Perpetua, our homeroom teacher. We became accustomed to the ten-thirty recess period and acquainted our- selves with Horatius at the Bridge, and la-Zl la-3l ib 1 cl. Patricians at last! 9B We, the class of '47, have three precious years remaining at St. Patrick, and the memories of our first year are indelibly written in our hearts. lt was filled with religious, academic, social and athletic ac- complishments. We elected Mary Hurley, Edward Brindley, Mary McElroy, and jerry Brindley class officers. We struggled with Algebra, French and History. We cheered faithfully for our team throughout its high- ly successful season, The class parties were fun, but our own Valentine party gave us the biggest thrill. The retreat which we made under Father Carey's guidance gave us spiritual refreshment. To the class of '44 we extend our thanks for helping to instill in us the traditional spirit of our school. ,.LL.v32...'

Charles Bell, They have progressed rapidly for three years and now each has a membership of all the girls and boys in the High School. At the regular meetings scheduled for the first Monday of the month for the boys, and the second Monday of every month for the girls, we enjoy inspiring sermons and participation in instructive quizzes, in which the genEi of the school are rightfully exhibited. As a relaxation for the over-worked minds, games and dancing were provided at the close of the meetings. The many special affairs, parties, dances. sports, etc., all blended together to make these two organizations a success both spiritually and socially, We, its grateful members, wish to offer our sincere thanks for the pleasant hours given us and a wish for their continued success. 79-w 023 240 CELTIC CROSS Editor-in-Chief ...,......,............,....,...,... jean Connelly Business Manager ..,., james Devlin Art Editor ..,..,........... ........ j ohn Hynes Assistant Art Editor ....,. john Cilligan Advertising Manager ,. ..... james BYVVWGS Sports Editor ..........,....,..,........,..., ........... j ohn Rigby ADVERTISING STAFF john Leonard, Anthony La Ferara, james Mahoney, Edward McMahon, Dorothy Brower and Rita Hayes.

With sunny smiles and light feet we tile into the auditorium on Thursday afternoon tor C-lee Club practice.
