AN APPRECIATION

Their aim is high: their efforts are unceasing. To
achieve their end no personal sacrifice is too great.
To Father Raphael. Father Gregory. Father
Charles, and Father Sebastian, of Belmont Abbey,
we. the graduating classes of '41 . owe our deepest
gratitude. By instruction and example these priests
have instilled into our minds high ideals and true
knowledge. In the classroom and out of it they
have been true friends.

We are happy in the friendship of these Bene-
dictine Fathers who have given generously of their
time and their talents in the interests of Sacred
Heart. We shall always remember them with af-
fection and strive to carry out in our lives the ideals
they have set before us. In this way alone can we
truly show them our sincere appreciation.

CLASS HISTORY

Two years together— two years filled with friendships and earnest endeavor, years that once
seemed to stretch away and beyond the possibility of realization, but which, now that they
have come to an end. seem to have glided swiftly and quietly and earnestly into the stream of
our other years — such is the time element of our Class History.

In September *39 twenty-four of us. representatives of four southern states — Florida. South
Carolina. North Carolina, and Tennessee — entered Sacred Heart. Through the trials and diffi-
culties that beset our way during our first year Patricia Riley. Virginia Brookshire. and Miriam
Cameron led us on to victory.

In the traditional manner of older sisters, the Sophomores, guided us through this new
life. They began by giving us an Introductory Dance at which we met all the eligible bache-
lors. But to prove their authority and to shatter whatever illusions they had given us they
originated "Rat Week.*' a week of torment and misery, a week spent in suffering the indig-
nities imposed upon us. in hiding away from our tormentors and in enduring the pangs of
homesickness. Then to present our disgrace to the public, our big sisters very graciously al-
lowed us to attend the dance that put an end to "Rat Week".

The Christmas holidays passed. Night after night we spent in feverish cramming, while
our hair lost its curl and fingernails ceased to be. The end of this week brought welcome relief and
we began to eat again.

With spring in the air and exams far behind we made the most of opportunity and gave
a Leap Year Dance. That night the girls really showed the boys some points in the fine
art of being escorts.

To show the Sophomores that we harbored no ill feelings for their treatment of us in
October and that we really appreciated their sisterly advice given throughout the year we
entertained them with the traditional Junior-Senior Banquet.

The year ended on June 6. We kissed our Sister Sophomores good-bye. then left to
enjoy our well-earned rest.

The end of three months found us back at school with only four members missing and
one new member added. We were now twenty-one strong. Virginia Brookshire, Betty
Holton. and Louise Bowen were elected to lead our class to its final goal.

It took us some time to realize that we were no longer mere freshmen but in reality the
Senior Class of the college. Once we awoke to this fact we lost no time in seeing that every
one else in the school recognized us as such.

That the Freshmen should miss none of the opportunities afforded us we held the In-
troductory Dance; and. not forgetting the misery of "Rat Week." we enjoyed watching
the lowly Freshmen squirm under our none- too- gentle ministrations. Like us, however,
they had their consolation — a dance in the college gymnasium.

Christmas vacation, exams. Spring holidays, all passed in due course. Again we were
planning for the annual Turnabout Dance, and again we showed the boys the ideal way of
escorting.

Our Junior-Senior, our last big event in our college course, was truly memorable. Then came
Class Day when graduates and lower classmen in billowy white and pastel evening dresses made a
picture the loveliest of the year, as they swirled and swished across the lawn and along the bridal
wreath drive.

At last came June 4th and with it all the pomp and circumstance of graduation, all the joys
of home-going, and all the sadness of leave-taking from friends kind and true.

So ends our Class History. Short in truth it is; yet how replete with memories, memories
we shall love to cherish of all that made worthwhile two memorable years at Sacred Heart.

CLASS POEM

THE SONGS WE SING

Across the strings of time we're playing

The varied songs of all our -years —

Years perplexing, -years revealing —

Our songs of laughter, our songs of tears.

Yet now in us is hope the firmest

That in our souls' eternal ties

In our hearts — love brightly shining —

The true leit-motif of our music lies.

That not from tears and idle dreaming

Not from rainbows in the skies.

But from ourselves — faith strongly gleaming

Will the noblest songs of our future rise.

CLASS HISTORY

September 1937 found us, a group of "freshies" — Eva Mac. Margaret,
Ann, Carolyn, Nclida, and Mary Lib — starting out on our great adventure —
first year high at Sacred Heart, To four of us — Eva Mae, Ann, Carolyn, and
Mary Lib — the traditions of Sacred Heart were not unfamiliar. For Margaret
initiation was easy; but not so for our Cuban classmate, Nelida. Besides the diffi-
culties which all of us had to face, Nelida had the additional terrors of a strange
language. One common bond, however, we had among us — the determination
to make the best of the years ahead. Then with hopes that were brightest wc
started on our way.

Bright days and dark days, days that sped and days that dragged, moved
on somehow through weeks and months, through Thanksgiving, Christmas
and Easter, on through weeks and months, through the round of gaieties that
preceded the closing of school, till in June we found ourselves at the end of a
year of satisfying achievement.

When we met in September, we were delighted to welcome to our group
two others, Mattie Vaughan and Ann Clark. Mattie and Ann were soon as
much at home as we were at Sacred Heart. Then up the hills of achievement and
down through the valleys of plodding we journeyed for another year.

Came June again, and again September: and of the eight who went out in
June only four returned. Nothing daunted by diminishing numbers we four.
Ann. Eva Mae, Margaret, and Mary Lib, determined to carry on as real, true, and
worthwhile juniors, juniors who would be worthy in every way of the privi-
leges and responsibilities of the next year.

Then in September '40. we, the tried and true — Eva Mae. Ann. Margaret,
and Mary Lib, returned to begin our last year, to assume the honors of dignified
seniors. Adding the spice of variety to our senior year, Helen Powers came from
Chicago to Sacred Heart. Without much ado Helen became an integral part of
our strongly unified circle. With us she has joyfully shared the difficulties and
triumphs of our last year.

Here then is told briefly the history of our class at Sacred Heart, the gradu-
ating class of '41. Through the entangling snares of Latin nouns and phrases,
the perplexing irregularities of French verbs, and the bewilderment of ever-
changing Algebraic signs our path of learning has led us through places dark
with gloom of oncoming examinations, through places shadowy with the uncer-
tainties of results, and through places peacefully lighted with the brilliancy of
success. Of those four years at Sacred Heart how many arc the memories we
shall cherish, memories of events great and small that made up the weeks and
months of our high school years. Wc shall like to remember the hilarious fun
of our hallowe'en parties; the care-free merriment of our tea parties, garden
parties, and skating parties; the triumphant glory of our basketball games;
the joys of accomplishment in the plays we staged; the distinctive honors of
our Glee Club tours: and most particularly the grace and loveliness of our May
crownings. These, the joys and pleasures of our high school years, have con-
tributed no less than our formal classroom studies to that complete and har-
monious development which is the end of our education, the true goal of our
great adventure.

that I wasn't able to attend your wedding. Tennessee is quite a distance from
Belmont and I couldn't leave home. Husbands are such bothers when it comes
to managing home affairs.

You said Margaret was at your wedding. How is she' The last time I heard
from her she was teaching the dance routines for Al Fox's new musical hit. and
having the time of her life. But that's Margaret. She was always that way.
Remember' Bv the way. Roy (Margaret's high school flame I was in Belmont
last week and dropped by. It seems that he has lost track of her. If you have
her address wire it to him here at the Clemont Hotel right away. He s leaving
for New York next week.

Guess who is back in Charlotte' No other than our Chicagoclassmate.
Helen Powers. Maybe you've seen her picture in the papers. Helen is much in
demand. Her fashion designs this season are the smartest ever. I always knew
she had aspired high but she surprised me when she reached the top so soon.
She's speaking at the Charlotte Woman's Club tonight: afterwards were to
celebrate our reunion. I can hardly wait!

Yesterday Marv Lib drove out and spent the dav with me. We had a wonder-
ful time talking over our school days at Sacred Heart. It seems as if it were
only last week, instead of eight years ago. that we were in caps and gowns
receiving our diplomas. You remember we thought Mary Lib would be a dancing
teacher' Well she hasn't taught anyone but her little son. WiUard. She has her
heart set on the bov's becoming a great dancer. Every spare moment goes to his
dancing lessons and. my dear, he's really good. He's only five years old but he
has excellent control of his feet. Mary Lib is proud of him and so is W lUard.
I've never seen a father so devoted to a child as he is to that boy.

Do you realize it is only two years until our class reunion? Won't it be
grand to be back at Sacred Heart! I know how you've missed the place. Mary
Lib and I have been very lucky. We go out often to visit the Sisters and see if
any changes have been made in our favorite spots. When Spring hits Sacred
Heart it is hard to resist the temptation of visiting so lovely a place. I am look-
ing forward to our class meeting there on June 8. 1951. when we can turn
back the pages of our memory books and once more be the happy school
girls of '41.

I hope you will find the happiest moments of your life in the new role you
have chosen. May each day bring more happiness to your married life as it
has to mine.

Lovingly.

EVA.

be wasted, lost, or forgotten, do hereby declare this to be our Last Will and
Testament.

To our Directress, Sister Columba, we will and bequeath our deep and
sincere thanks for her patience and guidance and kindly interest in all that
concerned us.

To the faculty of Sacred Heart we will and bequeath our appreciation for
their untiring devotion, skillful training, and inspiring ideals.

Article III

To the future students of Sacred Heart we leave the profit of our experiences.
May they spend less to acquire more.

Article IV

I, Margaret Davis, do hereby will and bequeath to Dolly Dunn, my ability

elbow.

To Mary Bea Howard. I. Eva Moses, do hereby will and bequeath my

ATHLETICS

Gradatim

Mist, CATHHRlNh BOGAN

ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT

The Athletic Department is under the direction of Miss Catherine Bogan. a
teacher of versatile genius in physical education. Under Miss Bogan's leadership,
the Woman's Athletic Association was organized, the following officers bemg
elected: Miss Maude Partnck. president; Miss Elizabeth Georgi. treasurer: Miss
Mary Katherine Kabas, secretary. The Association has sponsored various
activities, social as well as athletic, and has stimulated interest in a greater
number of sports. Judging from the cheering and merry shouts which emanated
from the campus, all were intensely interested in the games and forgot everything
else in the joyous excitement of the play.

In addition to the "traditional" basketball, tennis, hockey, and swimming,
other games, such as soccer, archery, badminton, and horseback riding have been
tried and enjoyed. Teams were formed and contests were engaged in^some-
times with outside teams. In all these contests a spirit of sportsmanship was
manifested. This spirit was imbued by our coach. Miss Bogan. and is a tribute
to her insistence upon adherence to all the rules of fair play.

As a finale to the athletic program of the year, a Play Day was held. Girls
from several other schools competed in track and field. Softball, archery, and
other games. The theme of the Play Day was "A Day on the Ranch." Such
teams as The Saddle. The Stirrups, and others were chosen and contests were
arranged in keeping with the theme. The team acquiring the highest score was
adjudged the winner.

As this article goes to press, plans are being made for a banquet in honor
of the athletes. At the close of the banquet, awards will be given to the winners
in the various contests.
