B., the students of Merici devoted the fourth, fifth, and sixth of December to silent prayer in the annual retreat. For the seniors it was rnost inspirational because we believe we all real- ized for the first time in our lives that the price of real maturity in life is a realization of the mistakes we have made. This realization came to us with a blinding flash during our three days of becoming closer to God. And so the seniors sought and obtained guidance in their private conferences with Father oseph. The day began with Mass and Holy Communion and continued with lec- tures, mediiGtiOY1, a procession to the grotto, and concluded with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament in the chapel. The three days spent in prayer and supplication gained divine afflatus for the entire student body. It was the answer of Merici girls to Our Lord's request, Come aside and rest awhile .

RN E- BN Sum r FAVGRITES After three years at Merici we Iuniors are considered old-timers. As we reminisce, fond memories are brought back. As freshmen we showed our potential strength by winning the Mission Day contest, and we presented Hope Evans as our Queen. In the same year the idea of a school paper was conceived, but no effort was made to produce results. In May we gave a mock graduation for the outgoing Seniors. We passed the stage of infancy and entered our sophomore year. The most important of our many activities was the publication of The Little Bear News , under the editorship of Pat Mullarkey, Mary Ann Neuhoff, and Mary Lou Albright. We sent thirty boxes of food to the war-stricken people of France and entertained our Dads with a Father and Daughter dance. We' 8101161 Pat Mullarkey, president, Lucy Lowry, vice presi- dentp Mary Ann Neuhoif, Secretaryp and Betty lean Greer, treasurer. From the beginning of the year, the Prom loomed large as our main activity. To raise funds for it we sponsored a Hallowe'en Dance. The paper was published again under the new title of Campus Capers , and we had the first slumber party ever to be given at Merici. On-oh, juniors! !

Our freshman year was spent under the able leadership of Nan Miller, Ioanne Abraham, Betty Brannin, and Peggy Wunderlick. Our school spirit grew as we became more and more a part of Merici. We came in second in the Mission Day funds and we donated ten dollars to the juniors for the prom. At Christmas time we gave a party for the school caretaker and family. As sophs our loyalty to Merici continued to grow. The roll call of live- wire officers included. Eugenia Rossignol, Ioanne Abraham, Betty Brannin, and Pat Hoffman. We gave a Christmas party for the children at St. Anne's, under the handwork of Yvonne Van Duzen and our sponsor, Mother Rita. lt was quite a success and we were happy to know that at Christmas we had done something for those less fortunate than ourselves. We also gave the annual Father and Daughter dance. Although we are only sophs we are looking forward to our junior year with its added responsibilities. We have already started building our treasury so that next year we can give the best prom that the seniors of Merici have ever had. 'fig-W ff.

As a class we top the superior honor roll. We number but twenty-nine members, so we are one of the smallest classes in school, we, however make up our lack in numbers by our quality in all other respects. In our group we find splendid athletes, musical members, and outstanding song- sters-a high soprano, a second soprano, and an alto. In social affairs we are right at home-be it dancing, skating, horseback-riding, entertaining, etc. We strive to practice virtue, lfor teachers say, Virtue is the only coin that is con- sidered in the Celestial City-our Goal.

Then let me intruduce you To the Class of 1950. Of course we're only freshmen now, And not yet known to fameg But none the less we're starting out To win ourselves a name. The first one on our honor roll- A real top-of-the decker- Whose very name means don't forget Is sweet Rosemary Becker. The next one is a popular And much respected lass Ann Brannin--voted favorite And president of the class. ' Patricia Brown in English Class Is plenty good enough: And when it comes to science, Arden Daniel does her stuff. And next comes Colleen Dolan With her winning Irish smile, Like all the pretty colleens From the tiny Emerald Isle. Teresa Drobil wears a watch, And tells us all the time. That seems to be her duty, Iust like Bulova's clear chime. Marietta Flynn can danceg She's graceful as can be. And Helen Harbin's auburn locks Are beautiful to see. Next on the roll two Barbaras Each one a charming maiden, And they are general favorites- The Barbaras, Iohns and Layden. Frances Luttrell's lots of fun, She's there both late and early. She's full of pep and never tiresj Her hair is black and curly. . Elaine Mayes is hard to beat, And so is Earline Miller. You could not find two nicer girls From Orange to Amarillo. Nancy Neuhoff is our blond Efficient secretary, While Anna Pearl Nouwen's Iust as sweet as she is merry. Iacqueline Ronay is French As one can plainly tell. y She came from France, and shercan speak Both French and Spanish well. y The next name on our list is that Of Mary Louise Schnitter. She's just as pretty as she's smart And no one can outwit her. Sheila Stayart's good at sports- And Sheila has a brother- So she is very popular For one cause or another. Ruth Valandingham is sweet As every one agrees, And as for Rena Io Winn, she Is friendly as you please. Our class is proud to boast a girl Who came from down below Maria Elena Molens from Our neighbor, Mexico. Next Marguerite MacFerren- I-lere's a girl who's really grandg Whenever there's a job to do, She'll always lend a hand. And next is our. Vice-President, As peppy as a Spaniel, And just as nice and friendly, too- Our jolly Pat McDaniel. Mary Alice McClanahan - Plays the pianoforteg And Merle McDermott-she plays, too, Best on the basketball court. Pat McNamara knows her math. At solving x she's fine. While Mary Ieanne McRedmond's famed ln a family of nine. And like the lady in the rhyme, With bells upon her toes, . Anita Reed wears bells, and so Makes music as she goes. Though Mary lane Stanton Didn't join us till November, The whole class was very glad To welcome the new member. Nancy Quinn's a song bird With a voice that's sweet and high. And last of all-but not the least Dot Monson-that is I. Now that I've introduced us all, There's one more name that I must call, Class favorite-extraordinary, Our sponsor, Mother Margaret Mary. THE POOR FISH A Freshman girl at Merici Has many things to learn: There is a rule she must obey Wherever she may turn. She must be on her p's and q's To get the A's and B's: She even has to watch her step To be assured of D's. She'd better learn her molecules, And Work out X and Y: She'd better turn in all her themes, Or know the reason Why! She'd better learn those Latin forms If she expects to pass, She'd better know the difference 'Twixt amo and amas . She must not wear her sloppy slacks Or go without her hose, And keep her shoes upon her feet, And never paint her toes. She must not bring her dog to school Like Mary's little lamb, Nor read the funnies while she should Be cramming for exam., In short, she must be good as gold, And honor every rule, In order that her humble self Do honor to the school.

The Club has produced many successful plays, among them The Song of Bernadette and Mid- summer Night's Dream . These plays were given two successive nights to a full house. This fact alone could deem that the Club and its productions have been a favorite of everyone. The Dramatics Club was organized in 1942, with the opening of Merici. Since then it has made for itself a wonderful name among the students and alumnae. Everyone hopes that the Dramatics Club will remain at Merici in the years to come and that it will continue to be such a huge success. We, the Seniors of '47, take this opportunity to commend and thank Miss Buckley for her help and her untiring efforts in making it the success it is. CHCDRAL CLUB The Merici Choral Club was organized in 1942. lt is now under the direc- tion oi Professor Eric Kaszynski who attended Sherwood Music School in Chic- ago. At present he is the director of the Cecelian Singers as well as organist and Choir master for Holy Trinity Church. In 1945 our Choral Club made a visit to McKinney's Veteran Hospital, and Concerts were given at Tyler and Ursuline Academy in '46 and '47, while radio programs and other musical activities are given yearly.

Systematic body training has been employed for the last three years not only to provide outdoor exercises, necessary for health and vitality, but also to help develop good posture and bearing. In 1945, the first year of the Sports Club, we had as our instructor Miss Billy Connolly. The student-body showed much enthusiasm in the continuation of this newly organized activity. 1946 brought an improved program as well as satisfactory materials such as baseball and speedball equipment. That year under Miss Mozelle Matthews, an alumna ol Merici High School, the letter-system ol awards for individual accomplishments was introduced. Miss Matthews has again given us excellent guidance during the year 1947. Steadily progressing, the course now consists of volleyball, soccer, base ball, basketball and other activities. The class is divided into three regular periods. Whenever possible interscholastic games are scheduled. In the be- ginning ol the school year the principal game is soccer baseball with speed- ball as an extra. These are followed by the highly favored basketball. Basket- ball is played more than any other game during gym or free periods. It is completely studied, its rules being the main material for examinations or daily quizzes. In the spring, volleyball and baseball are played while those who are interested in tennis, play it. The letter system has been changed. Last year the personal capability of a girl alone was taken into consideration. Miss Matthews has set a rule that before a student could be eligible for an award, a total of 125 points had to be gained. These points may be gained by practices, studying, or observations. After the required points are secured, specific alertness and skill are still taken into deep consideration. h Participation in the activities of the physical-education program develops quickness and agility. Indeed our Sports Club has grown to an essential extra- curricular with wonderful possibilities. Au , Wit 'QWi'RYQ'7 LMl 'T EDUCATICDN ,l I J Q3 Wi, ,q8f,. A 1 1, ,X X 34 F ' gf' Q. e , if qw?

Acting as hostesses for the evenin h g were t e junior class officers: Pat Mullarkey, Lucy Lowery, Mary Ann Neuhoff, and Betty Iean Greer. Preceding the dance a reception was held at Ursuline Academy for the students and their dates, where the seniors received their class rings. At the dance the senior class officers, Gloria Kupper, Carolyn Cobb, Dorothy Edwards, and Carroll G . rayson, were presented, together with their escorts.

The idea grew during their freshmen year, and in their sophomore year it bore fruit when the first issue of The Little Bear News was published. The staff consisted of Pat Mullarkey, editorp Mary Ann Neuhoff, first assistant editor, Mary Lou Al- bright, second assistant editorg Carole Luce, art editorg Mary Eileen Shine, sports editor, and Ioan Cle- ments, circulation manager. Mrs. Clements was kind enough to be the publisher. This first issue was enthusiastically received by the faculty and student body. With the approval of Reverend Mother three more issues were published. This year a new staff was chosen: Mary Ann Neuhoff, editor, Bettylean Greer, assistant editor, Lucy Lowry, art eritorg Pat Mullarkey, sports editor, and Ioan Clements, circulation manager. A new name was also chosen, and Campus Capers took the place of The Little Bear News . The paper covers sports, fashions, teens around the world, gossip, dances, plays and other student activities. It has grown from two to eight pages. Each issue has come to be looked forward to by not only Merici students but also many of their friends. Let us hope that as the class of '48 go into history they will leave as a legacy an established paper h d the which will go on and on not only for those still on the campus but also as a bond between 1 em an alumnae.

Second, Alice Lough VALENTINE DANCE ..... CLASS I-IISTCDRY FRESHMEN! Ah, the glory of the TlCIIT19l We were practially adult. We had arrived: yes, literally ar- rived, at. the one-year-old Merici, in an antiquated though fairly road-worthy bus, The Hearse , the best Dallas could offer in the hectic, war-torn year of 1943. Soon after alighting at the imposing main entrance of Merici, we learned to our dismay that this epochal year of our aging lives was to spent in the Cottage . During recreation on that fateful first day, thirty-seven completely crestfallen freshmen banded to- gether to collectively cogitare on our banishment from the greater halls of Merici. Suddenly while mourn- fully exploring the estate, several of us fell or were impelled into the lake on the grounds. The doubt- fully accidental submerging so invigorated and fortified us, that then and there we pledged ourselves to somehow prove our importance to the faculty and the superior upper classmen. At this point we wish to emphatically aver that in a very brief time we learned to love and prefer our own Cottage . Time passed. We shall ever remember the imposed three day silence in history class, the mad scrambl: ng every time the forty-five minute buzzer buzzed, the wandering around the beautiful twenty- eight acres and the dam that kept us small fry from swimming out of bounds. lust before the Christmas Holidays, we planned and successfully executed a gift party for the children of St. Ioseph's Orphanage. Christmas passed and the New Year 1944 offered a fresh beginning. In serious vein we attended the annual three-day retreat at Ursuline Academy. All were grateful for the spiritual benefit. On St. Patricks Day, by means of a carnival fish pond, we secured funds for the Missions. Later, the Dramatic Class participated in the mob scenes of the famous Oberammergau Passion Play at Fair Park. While we merely decked ourselves in shapeless robes and turbans, and loudly shouted a few ,lines in unison, we felt quite upstage and recall deriving much amusement from the antics of two semi-animated camels that shared our histrionic limelight. One afternoon in early Spring, we boarded the homeward bound Hearse . Nearing Highland Park, we were: abruptly and ruthlessly scattered in varying positions all over the bus, however, our feeble but .noble l'Iearse gamely withstood the onslaught of the attacking car that dared to challenge our supremacy of the highway. Our last weeks arrived with the customary activities and the dreaded finals. Worry! Worry! Then, Excelsior! We bumptious little tyros had made the grade. Happily we said goodby to Merici, yes, happily, for soon we would return. Finally, it was September again, and O joy, we were Sophomores at last. No longer were we to be the brunt of every joke and the doers of every wrong deed. Let the new freshmen bear the burden-we were practically upper classmen. It was a tough battle persuading them that we were sufficiently well- trained, but we won. Then, too, we were introduced to the mysteries of Science fthey're still mysteries as far as most of us are concerned? and were soon engrossed in the world of test tubes and Bunsen Burners. We still had those big blue monstrosities to take us to and from school every day and our morning and afternoon rides were still enlivened by the molodious interpretation of Mr. Meers and Mr. Faulknefss un- failing s.1pply of jokes. It was loads of fun, even though this fun was marred by The Wreck which, though rather alarming, caused no one serious injury. During that winter a mania for letter writing manifested itself in the sophomore class. Strange to say, these letters were written, not to friends or relatives out of town, but to one another. Stranger even than this, however, was the fact that these letters were dated around 1955, and seemed to come from all parts of the country-California, New Iersey, Delaware, even Mexico. As time went on, however, even this pastime was forgotten--well, maybe not forgotten, but discon- tinued, at least-and our attention was directed toward our big dramatic production for that year- Polly, Put the Kettle On . Suddenly, spring was here, and our lunch periods were spent wading in the creek, taking sunbaths and talking about Van Iohnson. ln the late spring of that year the Choral Club, of which most of us were members, went to McKin- ney to sing at the Veteran's Hospital there, and everyone had a,wonderful time. We were much more interested in graduation that year, not only because our big sisters were graduating, but. because it meant that next fall we would return as Iuniors and that we could attend the prom and other parties. lt meant, in other words, that we were really upper classmen. In September, 1945, soon after the end of the catastrophic World War ll, twenty-two juniors entered Merici fc-r our important third year. Numerically, this class was not up to the standard ol our other high school years. As City transportation facilities were improved at the termination of the war, we now journeyed to school in a shiny, representative Dallas bus. With real regret, we relinquished our former senile ally The Heearseu. which was relegated to the scrap heap in innocuous desuetude., lust being juniors gave us a feeling of well-being for now even the faculty of Merici considered us upper classmen.. However, the super-upper classmen, the Seniors, were anticipating a prom to be given in Ianuary, so almost from the beginning of the semester, our paramount purpose was to make that prom a successful social event. To that end we sought ways to augment our class fund. Selling box lunches and chocolate sundaes to the personnel of Merici gave us a substantial start, after which we became managers of the lunch room for one day Our complete momentary triumph resulted from a Dad and Daughter party for which we were hostesses at the Knights of Columbus club rooms. We learned that evening the pleasant method of socially extracting generous and adequate donations from our dear and doting fathers. Thus fortified with abundant funds, we issued invitations, purchased formals, secured dates, orches- tra, and the rental of Glen Lakes Country Club. . We soon dimmed out for the mid-term exams and managed to emerge with a sufficient number of credits. With renewed spirit, members of the Dramatic Club enacted a comedy Three Taps on the Wall in which the stars were compelled to wear high heels and very limp school socks. Our Easter achievement was the presentation of the choral and Dramatic Clubs over station KRLD under the direction of Miss Helen Buckley and Professor Hubert B. Kaszynaki. Later, selected members of the Physical Education class, with Miss Mozelle Matthews instructing, bested the Seniors in a basketball tournament. This victory over our elder adversaries was indeed grati- fying. May1Day was observed with its usual beautiful ceremonies, and the Iunior class en masse was re- splendent in pastel formals. We graciously formed a lovely daisy chain for the edification of the impres- sive seniors. We recall with pleasure the enjoyable overnight trip of the Choral Club to Tyler, and the day Merici held open house to hundreds of guests. We juniors presided at the perfectly appointed tea tables. Indeed Merici was a spectacle of grandeur that lovely late spring day. After successfully weathering the finals, again we came to the closing day, and so it was goodby once more to our dear Merici. Then at last, the great day came! We were seniors. We had seen three senior classes come and go during our stay at Merici, and to us it was a foregone conclusion that ours was to be twice as good as all those put together. . The first day of school we settled down to business, elected our officers, and decided on our annual! We raised a 'crop of blisters trapsing the streets begging for ads. K Since we found chemistry to be a required subject we were obliged to renew our acquaintance fa very casual acquaintance, you may be sure! with Science. C lfi October, however, we took time off from school to attend the Halloween party given by Iean and aro yn. Coming back to school the next day, we found we' had only exams to look forward to, and between cramming for that chemistry and reviewing for that Latin or math, the next few weeks flew by on wings. Soon, it was December, and our annual retreat was held at Ursuline. We had a marvelous retreat master, and we seniors paid him so many private calls that for awhile Father Ioseph feared that he would be forced to employ a secretary to distribute appointments. In spite of the many demands on his time, how- ever, Father still managed to give some of it to all of us, and it was generally agreed that it was one of the most successful retreats we had ever had. Back in the old grind again, we began making preparations for the party for the orphans, which, since it was to be our last, we planned to make slightly terrific. The party turned out a huge success, with ourselves having more fun than the little girls for whom we were giving it. Then it was time for the Christmas Holidays, and everyone was looking forward to the' various dances and parties which were to be given during the next two weeks! Even when we came back to school we did not settle down, for then there was the prom to look forward to. Wasn't it wonderful just to enjoy thinking about it, without having to wonder how we were going to pay for it? Then, on the very after- noon of the prom our class rings came. Iust think! Our rings and the prom all in one day. No wonder we were slightly slaphappy. Soon however, even the prom decreased in importance, for mid-term exams were coming up, and even though propitious fate, in her kindness, granted a few chemistry exemptions, most of us ,had to grin and take the test, while the favored few went horseback riding. After the exams, our attention was directed towards the senior play, and all our spare time was taken up with the memorization of lines, rehearsals, and costume fittings. . Even with all these extra activities, however, we still had time to make our last days at Merici mem- orable ones. For instance, the time we adopted Richard, a tiny black kitten, as our mascot. Thenptoo, there was the day we concocted that vile-smelling hydrogen sulfide in chemistry class and almost suf- focated everyone in the building. Meanwhile, various members of the class, the alumnas, and the Mothers' Club were having parties and picnics, luncheons and teas, and all our week-ends were crowded with festivities. The final month came, and it was filled with May Day,,Class Day, and finally, Graduation. Now, having received our diplomas, we are prepared to go out into the world, whatever our next step will be, whether the business sphere, married life, or merely another class room will claim our ef- forts, and to take with us those Christian principles which have been instilled in our minds and hearts during the last four years. In short, we shall endeavor to illustrate, by our lives, the true character of an Ursuline girl.
