Helen Cuninngham Twelve years ago about thirty little tots entered the first grade room, frightened most of them nearly to tears, at the thoughts of leaving their mother for the first time. What fun those days! Vera's beautiful red hair was visioned in our childish minds to be like that of a princess. Gertls big hair ribbons were never askew and she wore one of a different hue each day. We all envied Eileen's being able to take our wonderful teacher riding in an automobile and we used to be especially kind to Eileen with the hope that she might ask us to accompany them. While Martha was one of our? babies she had the honor of posing for a picture of the Blessed Virgin and Her Child. Whenever I saw that picture, which used to hang in the corridors of Gannon Hall, it brough back memories of those days when Marty was excused from Spelling to pose, Genevieve's big brown eyes used to look out upon the world with a timid glance and we very seldom heard much from Genevieve. Helen Barry and Peggy Donohue were so tiny, hardly able to see up over the desks and always led the lines. Roberta was with us then, too, and always joined in our game of Sidewalks Poison , which we played daily on the way home from school. It usually took us hours to reach our homes for we did not hurry in any way the game we delighted in playing. Oh! and lsabelle's curls-they were lovely. Quite the most beautiful Pd ever seen. Jean sang for our programs in those by-gone days too, dear little songs which I am sure she could not remember now, no matter how hard she tried. I can't forget Mary Gannon. Vile couldn't imagine anything nicer than being the niece of the newly appointed Bishop. Lucille Diotallevi always wore as beautiful coats in those days as she wears now. l was the talker then and I still seem capable of holding that position. Little Sally Saucer and Ring Around the Rosiel' were the games we played daily at recess. I'll never forget the campus in those daysg it was much larger than now leaving so much space for play. Our Christmas Parties were the best ever. Santa Claus certainly found a crowd of enthusiasts when he visited our classrooms. I could go on like this forever, relating so many incidents of those happy days. We have only thirlteen of that old crowd left now but we all agree that if 'we could have but one day of those dear ole days to live again, it would be-- canit you imagine? B. K., '31 st as its
