On that morning, we placed our timid feet on the first rung of the ladder leading to the topfgradua- tion from High School. We felt proud and happy, for although our position seemed to others a humble one, neverthe- less we had made a beginning and our progress must necessarily be 'fOnward and upward. On Qctober 15 we were formally initiated into St. Thomas by the Seniors. We were entertained royally. Carroll Sizer, President of the Senior Class, welcomed us in the name of the' school. It was my privilege, as President of the Class, to respond. That was a great night for me, probably the most thrilling that I had ever experienced. It was my iirst appearance in public, and though my knees shook, my tongue felt parched and dry, I was able to deliver my little speech without any outward sign of inward nerv- ousness. In january we formed the Blessed Imelda Club in honor of that youthful Dominican, who received her first Holy Communion so miraculously. The object of the club is two-fold, first, to inspire a more tender love of the Blessed Sacra- ment, and secondly, to receive the Holy Eucharist more frequently.
