June. 1959 CASMIRETTE MEMORIES FOREVER As we look at the calendar we can see that June is here. The final days of our school year are slowly coming to a close. Everybody is look- ing forward to the day when the bell will sound off for the last time!!! The Seniors will end their stay and remaining classes will advance to new positions. by Steve Eckels l62 Now for a moment let us recall a few memories from the year just gone by. During its course, we watched intensly the Ctesents and the Flames battling on the court. Our assemblies were wonderfully conducted and the Senior play was a big hit. We enjoyed listening and speaking to the distinguished guest speakers who were present. And of these we had a goodly number thanks to the efforts of our good Principal. We attended the dances and enjoyed the many movies shown to us. We watched curiously as the Seniors did the grand march at the Senior Ball. Then the May procession became a fitting and beautiful memory for the Seniors to carry with them. For the Graduating Class this is all over; never to be forgotten. Their four years are up and they now go out to face the world. But for the rest of us. we'll be back at school next year to whip it up! ' ON THIS DAY 0H, BEAUTIFUL MOTHER . . . Queenls CourtzE.

C A S M I R E T T E June, 1959 NEVER When the science teacher speaks Of breakage and of leaks And experiments start to hiss Do we admit who started this? Never! When we learn how France was run And who crushed Napoleon Do we think of Wellington? Confusing him with Hamilton? Never! In Sociology classes, so interesting, , . . Comes Jakes endless questioning: Do we tire and get hardened VJishing that he never started Never! When English tells of ladies fair, And why June days are so tare, Does our attention stray from there! To that certain maiden dear? Never! Do we quake and shake with fright Fearful of that dreadful plight, When at morning or at night Report cards reach our parents. sight? Neverl! But to change the tone 3 mite- Were the school hurt by some Wight, Would we greet that with delight And go without a fight? Never! Will we forget our buddies near And 5. C., our school most dear, Will we our hearts from S.C. sever? By the great hornspoon? Never! CLASS 1959 GRADUATES' ACROSTIC by Marge Makowiec ,59 if for the Sisters who worked for us each day, is for the trouble we gave them all the way. is for the Church we attended on Fridays, is for anxiety we caused being tardy. is for students? a courtesy rank . . . is for idiosyncrasies of each and every crank. is for Mary, choice, is for initiative needed for each course, is for Room 205 we leave to the junior Class! the Socialists: THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING by Judy Zimski 59 We, who are about to venture along the highway of life. realize that a solid cultural foundation has been laid for us over the years, upon which we should build our future. The enriching experiences we have shared along spiritual. academic and social lines we treasure dearly. Classroom instruction. educational trips, retreats, May Crownings, baseball and basketball games. dances and skating parties e all these are now pleasant memories. And even those experiences that seemed bitter in their own day, catty a tinge of sweet- ness now because we see them in true perspective which we lacked at the time. ' Some of us will go to college to further our education; some into the nurses training field; others into the field of engineering and science. Still others will aim at different professions or careers. No matter what field of work we pursue, our graduation will mark the beginning of self- direction? And self-direction means ability to tap sources, glean and re- cognize facts, make deductions, draw conclusions, and learn to accept the consequences for ones actions. Second best is never good enough? was our class motto. It is the hope of every graduate that we, Class 1959, will prove ourselves top quality people - good for God, good for country, good for society - because in the wrds of St. Francis, we lishall pass this way but once?7 EDITOR'S LAMENT They find fault with the editor, The stuff we write is rot; The paper is about as peppy As a cemetery lot. The paper shows poor management; The jokes they say are stale; The uppetclassmen holler The lowerclassmen wail. But when th papet7s printed And the issue is on file, If someone didnjt get one -- You can hear them yell a mile! If we print jokes, people say we are silly, 1? we donlt they say we are serious. If we donlt print contributions, We donlt appreciate geniusll If we do, the paper is filled with junk! If we clip things from other papers, XVe are too lazy to write ourselves. If we doxfr we are stuck on our own stuff. Now, like as not, some will say, Vile swiped this from some other paper - And XVE DID! Thanks. NODAHI.

Saw a boy upon the bank -- Gave 3 shriek, and then she sank. Boy on bank heard her shout, Jumped right in - helped her out. Now hels hers -- very nice; But she had to break the ice. -Laugh Book Magazine
