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.

Freshmen Class,Di1ii.fi0n III We entered St. Thomas for the first time-a group of strangers from many schools and of various nationalities. We were welcomed by the Sisters who ex- pressed the great regret that our beloved Bishop was not present to Welcome us. After the reception given us by the Sen- iors, we felt quite at home, and settled down to earnest work. Each of us has tried every month to attain the Honor Roll, and many have succeeded. ln the school activities we have tried to do our share. At the bazaar in November we had one of the most successful and attrac- tive booths. We are an athletic group, too. VVe have many players in the Fresh- man basketball team and some of our boys showed up to advantage in football. The girls have a specially strong basket- ball team of which they are justly proud. All too soon came the semester examina- tions. In spite of the fact that they were feared and dreaded most of us came through with good grades. Our Science Club was formed in connection with our Science work and it has been the source of many interesting programs. We are looking forward to next year when we shall be Freshman no more-yet we have enjoyed the year and have found time has passed all too quickly. Myrtle Stone, ,3O. Y . .l f .. .
