We who have just completed four glorious years readily agree with that statement. As we look back, what an array of pleasant pictures present themselves! Who of us can forget. those Monday morning English quizzes, the arguments in history class, and the flood holidays. Each of us has done something which is a subject tor a picture, whether it be decorating the assembly hall when we were Juniors for the Junior-Senior Prom, making the deciding hit in baseball, sinking the shot that won a close basketball game, or being in the cast of one 01' our plays. It is memories such as these that will make our high school days live long after we have forgotten the author of the uSketch Book or the date of the Mexican WVar. MARY MARGARET LORENZ t3?

J UNIORS Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors-all are integral parts of high school. Each year with its highlights and its routine must be lived by the high school student before he may take his diploma. The freshman Year requires him to ad- just himself to new conditions; the sophomore year gives the scholar a chance to thrive in his new found surroundings. The junior year affords an opportunity to couple scholarly activities with those of a social nature. Of course, the senior year is htopsf, Three of our high school years have passed. We hope that, thus far, our class has beeiia. credit to the school; and that, ii 50, we may continue on our glorious Way. At this time it is fitting to sincerely thank our instructors who have always so generously given to our needs. ' Now the class of ,38 moves on to its senior year; we have lived to the fullest extent our first three years of high school life. We are now familiar with them, but as to the fourth yeariit is history to be made.

Move on and make room for our class of athletes, intellectuals, am and lun-nlakerst VVelre coming fast and furiously, ready to break all precedents and better all records made by former Juniors. We've just completed one of the most satisfactory years of our school career and are anticipating an even more successful junior year. But before we pass, let us review for you some of the events 1 0f the past year. . As Sophomores we had the pleasant task of duly initiating the Freshmen into high school activities. This was accomplished by the FreshmenSophomore Hop, 1 much to the enjoyment of all who attended. The basketball season saw many of our hopeful cagers in action. The openingr . baseball game, too, found a good supply of our future Reds in the lineup. Our 1 athletes, future Olympic aspirants, furnished good competition at the track meet. -l then the Miami Contests rolled around, the more studious of our members demonstrated their ability at Miami. W'e are proud of the athletic and scholastic prowess shown by our class. .Our first two years as students at clear old St. Bernard have been deeply em joyed. We look forward fervently to being upper classmen, and hope that we may realize our present ambition-a junior year as successful as the one we have just enjoyed.

FRESHMEN In September, 1936, a little group of inexperienced children plunged eagerly into a high school career. The children were quite impressed' the first few days by the llbig kids, but ltthem days are gone forever. The inexperienced children are now llsophisticates, and high school seems quite unimpressivc but, never- theless, interesting. Next September this same group will begin another phase of that career, but this time they will not register surprise at anything. Altogether the Class is a hard- working one with just a dash of spice that marks the fun-loving spirit and: helps: to make up a happy and successful school year. XVe, the Class 0f 40, sincerely wish the Seniors lifelong success.

'i J UNIOR HIGH SOPHOMORES September 1936 brought about a great change in the school routine concern- ing the eighth grade pupils. Never before have the eighth grade students been permitted to take part in the activities of the high school. Now, under the six-six plan, we have the same privileges as those of the upper classes. XMe found it dif- ficult to get acquainted with the D. T. slips. Until then we had considered ourselves Angels, but after a detention party in which the whole class partic- ipated we thought, otherwise. We prided ourselves on the fact that we could take general science just as the ninth grade students, but after the first two quizzes, we lost what little pride we had left. When we meet again next fall to continue the hard grind, we will see that our slates are clean, and we will work in a more serious manner. We shall resolve not to help fill the D. T. hall, and, whatever we may choose to do, it shall always be iffor the honor of the school.

Q J UNIOR HIGH FRESHMEN In the fall of 1936 a certain group of former sixth grade pupils entered the St. Bernard High School, thrilled with the idea of being members of the first Junior High Class in the history of the school. During the past year we found that in spite of our advanced station we still were not considered of much importance to the high school in general; we were still seventh grade pupils. However, if we did smnething that did not meet with the teachefs approval, we were reminded that we were junior High pupils; and a constant threat in the form of detention slips aided in our remembering that fact. Although the high school pupils may still look down upon us with some dise dain, our anticipation of our second year of Junior High is bright indeed. DOROTHEA LILY JA.

XVith the aid of a unique induction ceremony, the membership was soon increased threefold. It is with a feeling of satisfaction that we look back over the HM! calendar of 1936-37. Possibly the most enjoyable event was the annual fall retreat at Camp Meacham, last September. Among the valuable activities of the year was the participation in the Hamilton County Hi-Y Council. At these meetings our council met with members of the Other councils to plan the social events of the year. These joint meetings were enlivened by swimming, interesting speakers, and, naturally, refreshments. Other outstanding events were the State Older Boys, Conference held in Norwood, November 27, 28, and 29; a tour through the Newport Rolling Mills; the Very successful annual Hi-Y-Girl Reserve Conference, in which our clubs had an important part; and, last of all, our very much anticipated social event of the year- the Hi-Y-Girl Reserve Dance. The senior members regretfully bid good-bye to the club, and take leave of the companionship and advice of the faculty. We hope that the junior and sophomore members will make next year even more complete than this one. OFFICERS FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER President Harold Ley .. .

SCHOLASTICS The ability of the faculty to bring forth scholastic quality gives the community and school of St. Bernard reason to be proud again this year. The fine record of the school was upheld by the students in oratory, in spelling, in music, and in the scholarship tests held at Miami University. The students won places not only in the southwestern district, but also in the state ranking.

Through the efforts of our M. 1e Porteur de chaise du Comite de Programmes, we had interesting and educational talks about the country of France, her people, her customs, and her history. We also learned many inter- esting French songs. In December the first yea1 students displayed their dramatic ability by produc- ing a French Christmas play. Of course Santa Claus did not forget to come, Our outside activities during the course of the year included two French movies, La Kermesse Heroique and hPrene7 Garde a la Peinture , starring Simone Simon; a French guignol or Punch and Judy show; an interesting travel- pgue of France; and, last of all, the annual picnic which closes the pleasant year. I am sure 1e Cercle Francais under the guidance of Mlle. Stuerwald will con tinue its successful work in offering to the succeeding students the pleasant times and valuable knowledge such as we have received.

ORCHESTRA This year. although faced with the problem of utilizing a variety of instru- ments, some of which are unusual in orchestras, we nevertheless succeeded in providing a pleasing ensemble. Our orchestra furnished music for all the school basketball games, a series of tea dances, and a program for Fatherhs Night of the Parent-Teacher Association. To Miss Stuerwald we wish to express our thanks for her worthy supervision and hope that the musical standards of our school may be upheld in the future.

AS we think back through the year, there comes before us a panorama of the many good times we shared together. First is our fall hike to Mt. Airy Forest, accompanied by our teachers. Our next memories are of our Ring Tea; our squads, busily working on their projects; our movie, llYours For The Asking, sponsored at the Andalus; and our first tea dance of the year. As a result of the Ring Tea five girls signified their desire for personal improvement by becoming Ring Workers. Christmas brought a merry Christmas party for all high school girls. The New Year brought more and varied activitiesvan industrial trip through French Bauefs, the Hi-Y-G. R. Conference, the dancing classes sponsored by our club, and our April Fools party on April 1. V May was marked by the ring ceremonial, plans for the Honor Banquet, and the climax of all our good timesethe Hi-Y-G. R. dance. So with all these happy memories we leave this year and look forward to the next year, when we shall again enjoy many good times and again strive to uphold the Ideals of blrl Reserves.

J UNIOR GIRL RESERVES Under the capable leadership of Mrs. Ralph Nieman the Junior Girl Reserves have had a very successful year. This group is composed of Junior High Fresh- men, Junior High Sophomores, and Senior High Freshmen. XNe have enjoyed very much the vital part which we have played in this club. During the year we have taken several trips, not only for pleasure but also for educational purposes. Among the places visited were the French Bauer Dairy and the Kahn Meat Packing Company. At Christmas the junior Clubimembers were guests of the Senior Girl Reserves at a delightful party in the asSembly hall. Later in the year the members of the cabinet entertained the rest of the club with a St. Patrickls Day party. We hope that the club will continue on a successful career.

MANTHEY HONOR MEDALS Imagination, initiative, courage, and a sense of responsibility are the qualities which produce leadership. When to these are added intelligence, moral firmneSs, and civic pride, the highest type of citizen results. In our school community there are always some who strive toward this ideal citizen, and a few who reach such a degree of development that official recogni tion is due. To those, then, who have fulfilled the requirements in Citizenship, scholastic attainment, and leadership in activities, the Faculty presents the Honor Medal with cordial appreciation and congratulations.

BOYS' BASKETBALL ti After much eager anticipation 0n the part Of the team veterans and new can- didates, the call for basketball practice was given at last; and following much competition in securing positions on the regular team, iiDoc Milner finally succeeded in assembling a fighting combination which showed real promise a Confronted by a formidable schedule, the boys were a little slow in getting started, but gradually rounded into their true form, with the result that the team finished the regular season with a record of ten victories t0 fiVe losses. Determined to improve upon our season's record, we entered the Hamilton County tournament, where we reversed our earlier season's form by winning our first two games and then being forced out of the running by Mt. Healthy. Still L- , in a fighting mood, however, we took the role of Wmderdogs in the district and sectional tournaments. Here the fighting spirit of St. Bernard's team shone at its brightest, our boys trampling over three strong teams t including the new ;, Hamilton County champs - before our winning streak was checked by a strong Oxford McGuffey five.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL As October rolled around once more, freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior girls all became regular Visitors to the gym. Each had set for herself the same goal; namely, to win a place on the basketball team. Finally, after much practice, we started the ball rolling by playing our first game with Deer Park. Following this we played at least one game a week and many timesftwo games. All this finally led up to the climaxethe tournament; we attained the second round before succumbing to Taylor by a very close score. To us the season has been very successful. Although we haven't any cups to show as the result of our endeavors, we feel that we have gained much. The good sportsmanship, that we have learned, and the determination and companionship, that we have gained and enjoyed, are only a few of the results of our season. In closing, we the team of '37 wish to thank 7Doc for the excellent coaching he has given us. and also Miss Griffin. who has been a great help to us in many ways throughout the year. Those of us who cannot represent the school next year feel that we are leaving behind us the nucleus of a fine team and take this opportunity to wish them and Coach llDoc Milner a very successful 3738 season. .

However, when the crack 01' the bat against the ball and the familiar cry of Play ball', were heard this spring, all other thoughts were quickly crowded into oblivion, and St. Bernard's diamond hopefuls rushed forth in the attempt to recapture some of her former baseball glory. As the training season progressed, our lads began to develop into alert, aggressive athletes. However, with the arrival of hot weather the enthusiasm of some of the candidates faded; but there remained a group th'at came close to equalling the record of any former St. Bernard High School baseball team. Mch the five veterans from last year Coach Nieman formed the framework of a spirited team which fought its way through a successful season, ending with second place in the Hamilton County Eastern League for Class MB schools. The teamis league record was 4 won and 2 lost. Games outside of the league were played with Automotiveilligh School and X'Vestern Hills, both Class KiA teams. In the Southwestern Ohio District Tournament, St. Bernard was eliminated by a 4 to 1 loss to Reading. With the comparatively small number of regulars lost by graduation the team of ,38 can rest assured of another fine team record. The departing members of this year's nine know that they will go fat in league and tournament competition.

TRACK Following the late March snows the members of the track team finally began their practice, filled with their annual zest, vigor, and determination to outrun and outjump all- competition. The practice sessions, in spite of frequent inter- ruptions by those April showers, progressed rapidly. Undaunted by chilly breezes and rainy atmosphere, the full team trained regularly until the real test - the day lor actual tilned runs and measured jumps and throws at the Hamilton County Meet. April 30, the day of the meet, came and passed, but only alter our team had taken fourth place, several ribbon awards, and a trophy. The Tri-State Meet at Miami University and the. District Meet at Mlestem Hills gave St: Bernard another chance to show her physical prowess; she proved het' worth by emerging Victorious in several events. In reaching for thc laurcls of victory, this yearls track team found that they had fallen short in several respects and can only hope that the team of 38 will enjoy lat greater success.

JUNIOR HIGH BOYS' BASKETBALL Inspired, perhaps, by their advanced school standing, the first Junior High basketball team had a very successful season. The campaign started with Glendale as the opponent; St. Bernard, though losing this game, showed the fight and spirit which were later to carry them through the whole schedule. After several games had been played, the true ability of the most capable players became known, with the result that they were recognized as being regulars, or the mainstays of the team. Among these regulars were forwards, Elden Huber. Donald Nagel, and Bob Lipps; guards, Robert Burkhardt, Billy Morganroth, and Bob Gatling; and the center, Clem Spurrier. Mersh, Vullner, Parry, Ulmer, Kohler, and Meyer Were constant threats for regular positions, and thus kept the boys on their toes at every moment of the game. In the tournament the team got past the first game without defeat only to be stopped by the Madeira team, which later became the Hamilton County Champions. As the first of the Junior High teams, we hope that we have started a precedent that will make every future team a successful one in respect to .school spirit 48 .'

J UNIOR HIGH GIRLS' BASKETBALL This year, through constant coaching effort on the part of Miss Griffin and hard work by the members 01' the squad, a more than capable Junior High girls' team was put on the floor. With the fine material available it was hard to keep any one player in the game all the time or to make another player remain long on the bench. During the majority of the games, however, the forward positions were taken care of by Ruth Kaelin, Catherine Schmidt, and June Sommerkamp; with Jean Vonderbrink, Bernita Case, and Ruth Entwhistle as guards. XVith these regulars and the very efficient reserves, the girls, team made a very determined bid for the championship in the tournament play; but after defeating Mount Healthy and Shamnville, they met their downfall at the hands of Colerain. The members of the team feel that they are capable of a better showing, and hope that the season of 3738 will provide them with the opportunity to do so. 49 Top Row: D. Nagle, Ulmer, E.

J UNIOR HIGH BOYS' BASEBALL When April rolled around this year the Junior High boys threw off the cus- tomary touch of spring fever and were immediately bitten by the baseball bug. Instead of giving them a touch of fever, the bug filled them with the spirit, ability, and love of the game which are necessary for the development of an ag- gressive team. After the early training sessions, during which rookies were dropped and regu- lars established, the mere love of the game was supplemented by the necessity of winningr ball games; and with thoughts of an outstanding season's record in mind, the players sharpened their batting eyes and perfected their curves and drops. The foundation of any team is the pitchingr staff, and this department was ably handled by Donald and Elden Nagle, with Huber receiVing their slants. The infield positions were held by Ulmer at first, Lipps at second, Gajus at short. and Smith at third. In the outfield Burkhardt, Morganroth, Spurrier, and Broxter- man rounded out the team. As the Annual goes to press St. BernartH Junior High team is the only unde- feated team in the league, and has every expectation. of Iinishing the season and the tournament in fine form. -p-sbi.u-, mmmmm-m iwi i Al I I i i 'I Hi I ..

A FINAL WORD In the last four years the Class of 37 have often complained of the difficulties they have encountered in gaining their school credits. Now that our years of high school learning have come to an end, we are distinctly aware of a feeling of satisfaction with both what we have accomplished and the manner in which we have been taught. Thus, we find that our efforts have been far from in vain, and along with receiving invaluable knowledge we have experienced enjoyable times which will serve as memories to brighten any troublesome future years. 62 ADVERTISEMENTS THE HUB OF ACTIVITY Wherever you go. wha+ever you do, you see +he +elephone in fhe cenfer of +hings. clay and night Wi+hou+ if buoiness and social ac+ivi+y would slow down +0 a walk.
