1 : .Eg 1 CLASS HISTORY 1958-'59 was a year marked by world crises and revolution. The first of the present disputes over Berlin flared up, several Iraq revolutions took place, and the Skips of '62 first entered the Ursuline student body. In October, as nameless, confused freshmen we prepared for the first big event of the year, Rally Night. We chose Marionettes as our name, and red and white for our class colors. Our poster depicted a girl sitting atop a rocket traveling to the planets. Our skit, which has been the only skit in Rally Night history to be exactly two minutes long, presented the story of a war between us and the Merry Macs. We tied for third in both of these enterprises. We were victorious, however, in our volleyball game with the Macs, and later won the school champ- ionship from the Sioux. Next came Freshman Installation during which we were officially received into the Ursuline Student Body. In a ceremony at McMain our big sisters gave us our Serviam pins after which we recited the Freshman Pledge. In January we elected Francine Cicero president, and Louise Blamphin and Millicent Bourg vice- presidents. ln May our big sisters, the Skips of '59, willed us their name on graduation day. And we became Skips of '62, As possessors of the Skipperette name, we entered sophomore year. Ann Guenther was elected president and Francine Cicero and Kathleen Vath, vice-presidents. On Rally Night, we were awarded the second place trophy for the skit. We won the volleyball championship for the second year. Later in the year, we won the basketball and baseball championships. In January we gave a program dance entitled Winter Wonderland. The gym was decorated with a snowman and silver Christmas trees. For Valentine's Day we had a heart hunt. Our Francine Cicero was crowned King of Hearts. Everyone enjoyed searching for the red hearts. The senior class presented a mock carnival ball. The route was heavily populated by the rest of the school eager to catch the throws of the ma skers. Penny Bourg won second place in biology essay contest sponsored by Loyola and Caroline Mohr won first place in an essay contest on Madam Butterfly. Although we weren't old enough to take part in the main ceremonies, we eagerly looked forward to the next year when we would be in Ursuline under the banner of Junior Skips. For the third year, our ship set sail. We were juniors now, at last. The year was filled with the promises of success. On Rally Night, we held the title of being undefeated in volleyball. Next, in January, the One-Act Play Contest rolled around again. Our play was The Romance of the Willow Pattern. Again, the Skips were victorious. We won best play, best scenery, the best actress was our Joan Tipery. On February 9, we received our Junior pins in the first Junior Pin ceremony had at Ursuline. As the year drew near its end, we became anxious for our Junior- Senior Prom. It was held April21, at the Tulane Room of the Jung Hotel. Sooner than we realizedthe year's end was upon us. On Class Night, we formed the forget-me-not chain for the seniors. Our class president, Sandra Russo, graciously received the treasured loving cup, with which we accepted the trust and hope placed in us - the next class of seniors. Finally we reached the cherished status of seniors joyful at the prospect of deciding the course of our future lives. Francine Cicero became President of the Student Body and of the Senior Class and provided the Skips of '62 with strong leadership. We again proved our athletic prowess at Rally Night, we won our fourth consecutive victory in the volleyball game against the Sioux. The trophy for class spirit was also awarded to our class. With a more serious air, we then installed our little sisters into the student body, For the first time we donned our white graduation govsms, which made the last day seem closer. In November we inherited the Senior Lounge and claimed it for the rest of the year. After exams in January, we made our closed retreat at St. Gertrude's in Covington. That same month we Skips hosted our mothers at a Ring-Day luncheon given in the Royal Orleans Hotel. That night, January 26, we were presented ou senior rings by Reverend Mother Teresita. Now we truly were engaged to fulfill the principles symbolized on the ring. Our Ring Dance was a wonderful success on a beautiful night never to be forgotten. The next big event was our J unior-Senior Prom held at the Fontainbleau Hotel on April 27th. Our joy was mingled with sadness, for this was our last Ursuline dance. We were grateful to the class of '63 for giving us such a memorable night. Field Day was held in May, and the Skips made their final athletic effort. The result - winners of 1962 Field Day. After final exams, in which we exerted our last efforts toward scholastic achievement before college, came Class Night on May 29 and then Graduation, May 30. The four years were ended, years of laughter, work, joy, and sorrow. Yet as we all set sail in various directions, our spirit as Skipperettes, our memories of Ursuline, our mutual activities, remain to haunt us and enrich our lives.
