 8 certe As the curtain opens, the Star of the play, clutching her lighted candle, stands before her Senior, trying desperately to look solemn and humble. This ceremony marks her right to enterfully into the life and activities of St. Vincent’s. With a smile on her face, she takes her place beside her big sister and antici- pates a year filled with new experiences and excitement. This scene uawns in sober silence. Her Freshman exuberance has departed and the other classes seem to have forgotten her. But she refuses to give up the limelight. The silence is only a disguise: The stillness is only the calm before the storm. Behind this cloak of serenity broods her active mind, probing the depths of her imagination for a scheme worthy of exploiting her boundless energy. As the houselights dim for the third time, the same star appears, her spirit undiminished, but her attention and energy are focused on more worthwhile en- deavors—drives, talent shows, dances, and parties. In an impressive chapel ceremony she receives her class ring which symbolizes the ideals for which her school aims. A few days later she gaily fetes the Seniors at the Junior-Senior prom and twirls gaily to the end of her Junior year. cene 4 The curtain rises for the fourth and final time. Our star has blossomed into a lovely young girl quite capable of assuming her responsibilities and position in life. Although her year is a whirl of gay parties and so-called easy-going fun, she still finds time for her obligations to God, to school, and to home. She walks slowly down the chapel aisle to receive her well earned diploma as the curtain closes.
