Sixty strong, the Juniors found themselves looking forward to their last year at St. Thomas, but bent on enjoying every minute of this year. Room 304 lost Sister M. Austina to gain Sister M. Rosaire the second semester. Sister Sheila guided Room 301 with a steadiness that precluded failure of any kind. Collecting enough money to give the Prom was the theme of the first months of school. Enjoying the Prom in anticipation and reality was the chief occupation of the spring months. Remembering its glories and rose-colored moments wove the dream-like texture of May and June. Then suddenly the year’s end had come and we were looking forward again! THE JUNIORS Upper Photo Officers of 304 V. Pres. Mary Dominick Pres. Daniel Van Antwerp Sec. Jean O’Hara Treas.
