Half the play is over Betty, Babs, Mercedes, Louise and Jean, of our class, have also proved to be capable players. The Sophomores have been very active in debating, with Roselyn, Rosemary, Lorraine; the three Jim’s—Meindl, Murphy and McGivern— also Beatrice, and Mary Margaret, amazing everyone by the number of points they’ve amassed. Caesarites Joan Chuha, Maureen L., Mert, and Kitty did us proud by accounting for two first prizes at the Buhl Planetarium. Now that our fancies have turned to lighter matters, however, we doubt if even our home room teachers-— Sisters Josepha and Albertus Magnus—can inspire us to any more victories.

THE PAUSE THAT REFRESHES Across: Patricia Macara, James Morris, Ann Fabyanic, Fred Henderson, James Naughton. 7 The Sophomores abode rests peacefully on the third floor of dear old St. Thomas. Regardless of the fact that many of the Sisters think that all we do is just rest—we have shown at times that we really can be industrious. Just bear witness to the successful Sophomore party held last October when the green Freshies were initiated. On the night of the Thanksgiving dance, Leo Teaman was voted the most sociable boy in the high school. Rosemary and Moose” won citations in the square dance. It seems that the Sophomores are quite adept at winning door prizes, also, as Eney” had the lucky number at the Shamrock Ball. On the basketball court we’ve been justifiably proud of Pat Loughran, Jim Meindl, and Moose for gaining positions on the varsity squad. First Row: K. Reardon. B. Adams. D. DeLiscia, S. Ruggiero, L.

FRESHMAN OFFICERS George Meindl, V. Pres.; Donald Mazik, Pres.; Carl Gentile, Sec.; Regis Kollar, Treas. Curtain going up Came the fateful day of initiation when the Sophs tried to make girls of our boys and vice versa. Under Sister Jeanettes guidance we retaliated, though, with a party at Thanksgiving, when we taught our big brothers and sisters how to square dance.The decorating committee for the event was headed by the class carpenter, Jos. Formca and our artist, Donald Baracca. The door prize was a live turkey. Debating season discovered Nancy McD., Mary F. Meindl, W. Metzgar, and J. Arnold rivaling the upper classmen for points. George Meindl, Charles Devlin, and John Arnold displayed their talents by winning top honors in the Latin exhibit at Buhl Planetarium. The entire year was highlighted by the bargain sales' of our own Carl Gentile who took charge of the school supplies—Remember his commandment, Don’t give anything away for nothing. ’ First Rou: J.
