Cfam chlatozy FRESHMAN YEAR September, 1951. Our high school days began and what a strange empty feeling it was. Realizing that there was much to learn, we set our minds to the given subjects: religion; algebra, biology, Latin, and English. Then initiation rolled along and we found ourselves bound to serve our llbettersfl It was a dark and humiliating experience, but at the Crinoline Days, dance our disturbed spirits were soothed and we were hailed as deserving members of St. Paulls. On entering high school, we had looked forward to joining the Sodality 0f the Children of Mary. Sunday meetings now found us in regular attendance, anticipating reception at the end of the year. We were delighted to learn that our school would be host to the Annual Sodality' Convention during the Thanks- giving Holidays, and we helped to plan the welcome for the visiting Sodalists. A touch of grease-paint Worked itself into our veins when we used the Princess Theatre to present the Operetta, Dude Ranch, and the play, Mix: Civilization, for the entertainment of our guests. By now, we were hopefully looking forward to the Christmas holidays, wherein the festive spirit gripped us, and we were greatly impressed by the Christmas tableau presented at the Christmas Tree party. The foremost event of our Freshman year was the Vocation Dayt Program held in March. It was the first of its kind in the Diocese of St. Augustine. The displays by the various religious communities represented in Florida highlighted the particular fields of work of these groups. Students from Orlando and Ocala attended, and each aided us in presenting skits which emphasized the vocation needs of our locale. In no time Spring was in the air and with it were all sorts of activities to occupy our interests; our hrst high school retreat, our hrst prom, our first Catholic U. examinations, and finally the May Procession with our reception into the Sodality. When the time came to witness the Seniors, graduation, the picture of our own Commencement seemed far in the distance; the present was our main concern, and the future high school days were still ours to enjoy. SOPHOMORE YEAR When we returned to school in the fall we took a more dignified attitude toward our books, although we found wrestling with geometric propositions, and the llCommentaries of Julius Caesarl, a trifle upsetting. On the feast of Christ the King, the Sodality journeyedtby bus to Orlando for the fall Deanery Meeting. Election of officers, religious discussions, and plans for
