They walked the halls, talked to their teachers and
classmates and snacked in the Tea Room, just like old times. Last Friday, the Class of 2011 came home to
Ursuline Academy for their Yearbook Signing.
“It feels like we never left,” said Shannon ’11, who attends
Loyola University Chicago. “I even
looked for my old parking space when I pulled into the parking lot.”
It is a tradition at Ursuline Academy for the graduating
class to return to their alma mater in January for their Yearbook Signing. This year’s class was eagerly anticipating being
together again and seeing their yearbooks for the first time.
“It’s good to see everyone and talk about the last five
months of our lives,” said Dana ’11. “We
all missed each other. You always want
to go back to the people you’re close to.”
And not only do the girls miss each other, but they also
miss their green plaid skirts! The
general consensus among the Class of 2011 was that they missed their UA
uniforms.
Anna ’11, a student at Harvard and member of the Crimson
crew team, said, “I miss the uniform, rolling out of bed and putting the skirt
on.”
Tara ’11 attends McGill University in Montreal and enjoys
the international setting for learning.
“I love being in a big city, and it’s very European,” she
said. “But I do miss the all-girls
classes. Boys tend to take over, so you
have to assert yourself like an Ursuline girl.”
Tara also praised the small classes and teacher interaction
at her alma mater. “Don’t take it for
granted while you are here,” she advised her fellow Ursuline girls, after taking
a physics class with 700 students this past semester.
The Ursuline community welcomed the Class of 2011 back with
open arms and was thrilled to hear about their college adventures across the
country and the world! Come back any
time ladies; it was wonderful to see you!
You will always have a home here at Ursuline.
