YVe were young, confused, little "Freshies" at first but after a few weeks of going into the wrong classes and climbing' three flights of stairs, we became acquainted enough to elect our class officers. They were: Thomas Connelly .. ....... President VVilliam Henry . . . .... Vice-President Francis Doran . . . ....... Secretary Robert, Barnes ...... .... . . .'l"reasurer This was the year that Father Risky organized the school orchestra and called it the 'tEchoes.'l Our class also eagerly responded to the call for singers in the Glee Club as this was also its first year. Our one and only party of the year was a "Freshman Frolic' held on April 4. Page Twenty-five CHAPTER II: SOPHOMORE YEAR I VVe felt very important taking' over the Sophomore homeroom. Our first. act as Sophomores was to elect our officers: Jean Nolan ...............,....... , .... President Vllilliam Connelly . .... Vice-President Robert Barnes .................. ..... S ecretary Mary Schaefer ........................ Treasurer TVe had four successful events that year. Un November 29, Father Bisky held a HSignature Daneel' for the Freshmen and Sophonioresg a class party was held in the Scout Rooms on February l-1. and the traditional St. Patricks Assembly on March 17. 'l he silent movies thai took place in the As- sembly Rooms, proved to be most enjoyable to the whole school as something new and entertaining. Two of our star bowlers, Regina Schneck and Bolton T'e1'williger, won the matches that year. I Our second year came to a pleasant' close with a class picnic at Enfield Hen. unica- Senioa fbadltquei if 4- an X -4- Y , CHAPTER III: JUNIOR YEAR As We entered our third year at Catholic High. as upper-classnien. we grained a new classmate. Peggy Seroslcy. XYe started the year' off right with the election of our officers: Claire McC'arthy .. ......, President James Flynn ...... .... X 'ice-President William Thomas . . . ........ Secretary Jeanette Manocchio .................... Treasurer . Our first triumph as juniors was a panel discussion on Inter-American relations which took place on April 1. Then on April 29, we successfully turned out the junior issue of the 'tClarion.'l The junior girls organized a Library Council with Mary Margaret Ylfeingart as president. Our orator, Lois Basler, won first place in the American Legion Oratorical Contest, This was the first time in the history of Catholic High that a girl achieved that honor But our junior year was successful in money-making' activities, too. On April 22, the annual carnival was held in the Scout Rooms. Also we had a coat-hanger campaign. The proceeds from these two events provided for a Junior-Senior Banquet on May 26 which ended our third year at Catholic High.

Treasurer During the course of the year, we welcomed two newcomers into our midst, Virginia Kelly and John Moller, who soon won their ways into our hearts. On Nov. 10 the Juniors produced a. play called 't'l'h0 Better Man", which was written by Robert Sullivan. Another big event of the year was a patriotic assembly given by the Juniors. Miry CH'llC'l'lllO Richards, Margaret Crossed, Kathleen Milliken, Eleanor 0"llanlon, Jack Bush, Robert Mcllann, John Battersby, and Riobert MacXamara gave very interesting talks on the various branches of the service. The Junior girls rendered their version of several popular, patriotic songs. Another highlight of the year was the 'Hlunior Jamboree." Robert Sulli- van and Pauline Malandra were co-chairmen, and the affair turned out to be a great success. Now as the school year draws to a close, plans are being made for Junior Day which will be May 14, and for the Junior-Senior banquet, to be held at the Mark Twain Hotel on May 27.

I guess I was a child of the Probihition Age because one of my earliest recollections was that I was not allowed to have anything to drinkfno water, no milk-but I could have cream. If there is anything worse than living on cake, it is quenching one's thirst. with cream. The purpose of the diet was to make me fat because fat was supposed to act as padding of the nerves. Then came the day when l was taken to the doctor because not only had my nerves become well-padded, but my arms and legs and everything clse were cushioned with layers of fat. The verdict this time was a reducing dieig candy and cake were taken away, of course, no potatoes or bread. That left me with practically nothing but spinach and lettuce-not very filling.I I know just how a cow feels when he is turned loose in a green field. Maybe when I'm ninety, and my teeth are gone, and I have no sense of taste, and I canlt digest anything heavier than a poached egg, then the verdict will be, HNow you may eat anything you like."

He left this morning. It was a beautiful morning -Mthe kind he loved-with the sun shining through a faint mist and chasing it away. It seemed so quiet here. Even Jackie was quite subdued for a change. Helen and Louise can.e over this afternoon. Vile played croquet until it got too hot. Then we just sat and talked. You know, dear diary, why I'm writing all this. Itis for Jerry to read when he comes home again. He said to tell everything even what seems unimportant. Sept. 30-Itis beginning to feel like fall today. The lawns and trees are still green but there 's a new crisp feeling in the air. 1 wonder what it's like where Jerry is. I suppose lie'll have a lot more summer down in Georgia. Jackie and I helped Uncle Steve pull up the tomato plants tonight. Jackie really seems to be growing up. I thought he 'd never get over being a baby but all of a sudden he has developed into one of those nice pesty little brothers. I wish he really was my brother. Nov. 16-VVe're having Indian summer. Jackie and I walked out to Hogan's farm today. Mr. Snedeker gave us a ride on the wagon, from his farm down .to Hogan 's. Jackie and I took turns driving. VVhen Jackie drove, the poor horses went so fast Mr. Sued nearly fell out. At least he pretended to. NVe helped Mr. Hogan gather in the hay but I guess we really did more fooling than working. Mrs. Hogan gave us some of her molasses cookies- Jerry 's favorite kind. She sent him some a few years ago. I suppose he won't get them, though, if all those soldiers see them. Jim Hogan is going in the army some time next month. It would be nice if he were sent near Jerry. Dec. 15-Here we've been planning on Jerry's being home for Christmas and we just got word that hels leaving the country. VVe don't even know where he is. It's going to be terrible without him. Ever since I came to live with Aunt Mary and Uncle Steve, Jerry has been my brother, almost. I think we liked each other more than most brothers and sisters. Of course, we used to squabble a lot and he loved to tease me, but he was never mean. He taught me so many things, not the things you learn from books, but the Page Forty-eight other kind. The kind of things that make you happy. Maybe that's why he was always smiling. Jan. 9-Still no word from him. Aunt Mary is worried but she never says anything. School is very boring lately. All the teachers are in horrible moods. I suppose you can't blame them. They Ive just been correcting exam papers. Jackie was eight years old Tuesday. He's growing to look like Jerry but he dosen't smile so much. I guess he's too busy talking. He made me feel his muscle a few minutes ago. 'Now I know why he always wins whenever we have have a wrestling match. It 's beginning to snow now. Feb. 2-We just had a letter from Jerry. He's overseas, but he can't tell us where. Hels someplace where there's fighting though. He didn't exactly say so but you can guess. I took care of the Darby kids tonight. Mary Ann 's front teeth are out and she can't talk without lisping. She kept telling me that, "Thally Thimthon hath a thore knee becauthe Thammy thocked her with a thtickf' I think she was hurt because I cou.ldn't under- stand her, We had a snowstorm last night and this morning the trees and streets were all a soft glistening white. Jerry used to say it was fairyland. Mar. 4-Helen and Louise and I went to the show today. Jackie went too. We saw "Shadow of a Doubt." It was really wonderful. The acting was perfect and the directing was even better. I like McDonald Cary. Poor Jackie was a wreck when he came out. He was so excited he talked all the way home but nobody listened to him. We went over to Helen's house and made fudge. Her father and mother donft eat much sugar so she saves it up until she has enough for some candy. April 8-It's rained for nine days. It 's been very dreary but today I didn't mind the rain. It seemed different somehow. Maybe it's because I remembered how Jerry loved to watch it rain. He used to stand for hours watching the drops sparkle on the brown sidewalks. VVatching them today made me think of him, May 4-Today we went back to school. VVe had a long Easter vacation so we could help the farmers. I went out to Hogan's. Aunt Mary said I should go some other place because she was afraid I wouldn't work after Page Forty-nine being used to playing there. I surprised everyone, most of all myself. I worked very hard but it was fun. T'here were some other kids there from our school. VVe tried to see who could work the fastest and the best. Nobody could agree who it was because each one thinks he was the best. But personally, I feel that no one could hold a candle to me. Jackie was feeling very misused because he couldnlt go to Hogan's too. And, of course, it didn't help any when Uncle Steve said they wanted someone who would be a help not a bother. June 6-We got a cable from Jerry today. Guess what! IIe's coming home. I didn 't think he could come so soon. Nothing else important happen- ed today, dear diary, or if it did, it seemed unimportant along side of Jerry's news. June 14-VVe had a letter from Jerry. Ile will arrive the twentieth. His letter was typewritten and he certainly has lost his touch. About every other word was misspelled. I guess thatls what comes of not practicing. The kids are having a picnic tonight and I have to make some sandwiches. I can hardly wait to see Jerry. 2 June 20-This morning it was beautiful out. It was Jerry's favorite kind of day-just right for his homecoming. The sky was a deep deep blue with puffy white clouds. Our rose bushes were bursting with color and all the trees and lawns were a fresh bright green after last eveningls rain. The sun was shining harder than ever before, making everything golden with light. I couldn't help feeling that the old world had done itself proud for Jerry. I was upstairs when a car drew up and Jerry got out. He was pale and he came up the walk very slowly. But I knew nothing was wrong because on his face was that same old Jerry-smile. I nearly fell downstairs in my rush to see him. And now, dear diary, I won't be writing in you anymore. You See- J erry's blind- Eleanor Maloney '43 paiceafaaeecfom I shall walk in the fields today, Over the wide brown plain, I shall feel the chill swift wind- Hear its lone refrain. I shall run through the fields today. Breathe the cold, clear air, And Illl lift up my face to the sky, Feel a swift, sweet prayer. I must go from these fields today T'o a far-off shoreg I must torture and slaughter men In a cruel war. As I pull forth a bloody sword From a dead man's breast, I must forfeit these fields of mine. No more will I rest. Eleanor Maloney '43 Page Fifty A !.5 , rf J QIUQSI My Kinqcfam 404 14 flag One of his classmates had had a dog when he was promoted from the fifth grade. Buddy had wanted one ever since. His mother had said no quite firmly the last time. Buddy didn't blame her. There were enough mouths to feed without "some cur hanging around with his Stomach in his eyes all the time." If you wanted to buy one, they cost so much any way, and they had to be looked after. That took time which he didn't have. With school work and helping at the mill with Dad, he hardly had time to sleep. Maybe Mom was right after all, But, gee, a fella oughta have someone to play with besides five sisters and a twoamonth old brother. None of his friends lived near him. Working at the paper mill was dangerous. One false step with those cruel machines and you would be minus an arm or leg or maybe even your head. His job didn't worry him. All he had to do was oil odd partg for machines and keep the racks filled up. Once in a While he got kinda nervous about Dad. Lately, with money so scarce he'd been getting odd jobs around town besides his regular one. As a result, he'd been losing some much-needed sleep. Buddy didn't see how he stood it. But he did, bringing in only a few miserable dollars compared to the injury to his health. On a machine like that one Dad worked, you had to be extra careful and alert. He hated to think what would happen if Dad fell asleep on his job. But a more immediate worry was what on earth could he write for that literary contest! Some club or other, in the same district as his school, put up a prize of S25-an enormous prize it seemed to Buddy for just writing something. The principal said everyone would enter something. He hadn't the slightest idea what he could write. Say, the teacher had said just put down your thoughts, what he wanted most in the world was a dog. He 'd begin tonight and get it all done. Buddy hadnlt told the family about what he was going to send in. He hadn't wanted anyone to know about what he would write. Like as not they would give all sorts of suggestions which would only confuse him. That night he gathered pencil and paper and the cherished picture of "The Dog", which he kept under his pillow and retired to a quiet room. It took him about three hours. Many beginnings, crossings-out, new attempts. Then there were long moments when he just sat, chin in hand, looking at "The Dog". Finally he picked up the pencil and began: t'My dear Dog, You are only a picture now . . . ". He wrote steadily for twenty minutes. Then, he laid down the pencil with a sigh. He could hardly keep awake. He hesitated: was it too long? He shrugged, it would have to do. Signing his name, he folded the paper quickly and put it in his English book. Golly, but it was late! He got into bed with " The Dog" and soon was sound asleep. Dad had an awful cold the next day and couldn't go to work. He got a couple days off so he could stay home and doctor up. But his cold lingered for a couple of weeks, and he was no better. In fact, he seemed worse. Bufddy hated to see his mother's face so thin and haggard. The kids were thin and haggard, too. There was more than one night they had gone to bed hungry. If only Dad could get back to work. The boss had just given him a raise. He wouldnlt be paid for the time he was sick. They had to get money for food and medicine, somehow. Only wishful thinking, his mother told him with a sad smile. Dully, Buddy wondered what all the excitement was about at school. Slowly it came to him. The winner of the contest would be awarded the prize today. There had been an element of surprise introduced about this prize. No one knew just what it was. He didn't care about any contest. All he could think of was poor Dad-he looked so shrunken or something. Mom said they couldnlt get any more medicine. No money. If I had somc, she said, I could get him well in no time. Page Fifty-two Oh, oh! Here comes the principal with some other men. Must be someone in his class got it. Gee, that was nice. The teacher would be pleased. Sud- denly, he heard his name called and everybody cast envious glances at him. Dazed he got up and went to the front of the room. T'he principal beamed and the men pattd him on the head saying what a lucky boy he was. The principal went to the door and called. Then another man came in struggling with a silky brown bundle which he handed to Buddy. Buddy caught his breath, a dog! A real live dog! His eyes shone. Shyly, half-afraid, he reached out his hand. A pink tongue darted out and wrapped around his finger. Instantly Buddyls heart was lost in the upturned, brown eyes. He turned to the big smiling man, his face radiant. lVas he his, he asked eagerly, was he the prize. The big man said that since his wish for a dog sounded so sincere in his composition, they decided to give him a choice. A choice? Buddy was puzzled. The man nodded, he would choose between the dog and the money-the original prize. "Oh'7, Buddy said in a small voice. The light went out of his eyes and his face lost its radiance. Ile looked at the little brown dog a long, long time. Carefully he handed him back to the man. HI'd rather have the money, please, if you donlt mind," he whispered. Buddy would always remember that look on his mother's face when he handed her the money. Therese Milliken '43 fed! We guage! When I was a freshman, I was literally trampled upon by my superiors. NVhen I bent over to get a drink of Water, a dozen or more Qplus Danny Cardoneb of the super- ior senior class placed me in my proper position at the end of the line. Naturally because of the superiority they took their fill of the water first. At present, I doubt if I could possible chop my way through the line of freshmen-even with a hatchet !-to get a few drops of water. They show no reverence for those noblest of God's creatures, the Seniors. How times have changed since my day! The freshmen of today do not know their place. They try to put them- selves on a level with the upperclassmen. It is really very annoying and shocking. VVhy, the other day at a local ice cream emporium fchez Rylll one of these incorrigibles dared to voice his opinion and actually disagreed with one of our very honored members, Francis Doran. It is hardly credible but true nevertheless. As freshmen, we received our education from the class of '39. That class used the soaking method. The education was poured in via the horse trough. The cold which we acquired froze this education into us and we still have it. Unfortunately the horse trough has been removed and what havoc has resulted! The freshmen have gone through the school year untamed, un- disciplined, Haunting their impudence-instead of being sweet, submissive creatures that one expects of first year students. It is a melancholy thought. I pause in dejection. R, Lewis Lisi '43 Page Fifty-three 0:1 Jlid Mellle Here we stand on the threshold of graduation-perhaps planning to enter college. That reminds me of a story about a young man who wanted to go to college, but his father hesitated, because we wasnlt sure whether his son was reliable enough. Suddenly, one day he made his decision. He called his son to him and said: '4Son, I'll send you to college. Afterward I'll give you 35,000 and set you up in business if you can prove your reliability by not losing a hair from this fur coat. " The son agreed, so he went merrily off to college. The first year was very successful. Every night he took the coat out, laid it on his bed and carefully counted every hair. At the end of the first year, all hairs were still accounted for. The second year he counted the hairs only every other night. But, at the end of that year, the hairs were still all there. Then came his third year and he only counted the hairs now and then-perhaps only every other week, but that year slipped by, and the coat still had all its hairs. During his fourth year he counted the hairs only a few times. Ilowever, the night before graduation, he counted the hairs, and they were all there. The following night he graduated. He came rushing back to his room, and went to his closet to get the coat. He swung open the door and what do you think he saw? There hung the coat without one single hair on it. It was terrible! IIorrible! Wliat had happened? Then he looked around and what do you think he saw? Down in the corner of the closet he saw a tiny little moth licking his chops-evidently having just had a good meal. "You!" he shouted, 'ADO you know what you have done? Then he told him the story of the trouble he had caused. The moth felt sorry for what he had done and he began to cry. DID YOU EVER SEE A MOTH BANVL? John Patrick Kerwan 144, gaaewell Our schools days are fading, dear ECHS, And the time welll be with thee has grown less and less. Thy face looks more gracious, thy hallway more spacious- With the sun in the west, we leave room for the rest. In our lazy years we have hailed thee with jeers, But now as we leave thee our eyes till with tears. For we 're sorry Cpoor mortalslb for smashing thy portals, And for doing thee wrong, as by stealing thy gong. In thy classes we've muttered, thy storeroom we 've cluttered With junk, and the desks in thy lunchroom we've buttered. Thy nuns we've annoyed and their wrath we've enjoyed, And so here I've depicted those wounds we 've inflicted. NVe're leaving thee now, but welre grieving-and how! Soon before the cruel world we'll be taking a bow. It's too bad that we've ailed thee-today we all hail thee! All our love will be thine, in our hearts thou wilt shine. Forever.
