HISTORY - fContinuedJ Everyone knew when our girls were having a basketball game by their attendance at morning Mass. They had quite a successful season under the captaincy of Ann Butler. It seemed Helen Pappas was the only lucky one when Mid-Year examinations rolled around. Who will ever forget our successful Barn Dance, the Mission Tree, talk about taking physicals and the Bunker Hill Orations? Two popular boys of our class left us for higher education. We surely were proud of our college boys, Francis Smith and Francis Barrett. After his first day at Boston College Francis Barrett learned when and when not to wear his hat. Remember To Be or Not To Be , Chris's fuschia sweater, Mary Rooney's calahoogies and parachutes, Claire's eagerly awaited letters, and Nancy Peters' never ending scoldings. Only a few of the Seniors received money from the Juniors for cleaning typewriters. Maybe we should have it done in the beginning of the week. Then the Year Book Staff began its long hard work. Francis Smith Was elected Editor-in-Chief, Anna Drudy and Nancy Peters, Assistant Editors. They certainly did a wonderful job with the full cooperation of all the other members. About the same time Miss McCarthy started play practice. Several Seniors were chosen for prominent roles. Among the leading characters, were Marie MacKay, Helen Pappas, Nancy Peters and Francis Phillips. Other parts were taken by Claire Hayden, Peg Mahoney, Ruth Gildea, Ann Butler, Dorothy Grubaugh, and Mary Rooney. The play was The Charm School . Everybody settled down to hard work to make it a success. The college course having only four in the class during play practice were always a little on the lonely side. Remember those chemistry experiments, letter writing during Study, and also that Phillips' gang? With class Night and all other duties of a Senior year over, we were graduated with grateful hearts toward all those who made our education possible. May all the coming years be as happily spent.
