Senior Class History
Wide -eyed with the wonde r of being the
first Freshman Class atthe San Diego College
for Women, fifteen of t he present gradua ting
class began the ir four-ye ar history of "b eing
first." We were the first stud ents on the Alcala
Park campus to be rece ived by Reverend
Mothe r Rosalie Hill, founder and builder of
the San Diego College for Women, to assist
at a Mass of the Holy Ghost and to be invested
with cap and gown. We wer e the first — and
last — to entertainthe British Navy at a supper
dance! When ReverendMot her Hill returned
from Rome, we even exerci sed tri-location —
we were at the station to meet her, we were at
the fron t door to gree t her, and we used the
theatre for the first time to receive her!!!
Another "first" to our cre dit was our "Fresh
man Follies." Encour aged by tha t success,
we presented a unique (and fortunately, pri
va te) inte rpre tationof THE MIKADO. Rut
our production of the first annual Christmas
Pageant enti tled "Christmas inMany Lands"
was just as fort unately public, ifwe may judge
from audience response. Our caroling was
also begun tha t year, but on a small scale;
already conscious of the Sacred Heart "fam
ily" tradition ,we carolled the community by
cand lelight one evening and next morning
began the tradition of a surprise cap and gown
Mass by way of saying "thank you" to our
beloved faculty.
