Page6 CASMIRETTE NOSTALGIC REMENISCENCES by Santos Campos 59 Listen Grad, do you remember when you and I first entered our high school? Graduation seemed so very far away. As a matter of fact it seemed as if it would take a lifetime to graduate. Remember how we wondered why the Seniors looked so sad at Com- mencement time? It reminded me of the time my grandfather said good-bye at the train depot to my uncle, who was on his way to Korea. The thought lingered in my mind for quite a while. Those Seniors were not sending a son off to war . . . They were getting out of school!! They should be smiling and full of joy. The fascinating, adventurous world awaited them. I won,t be sad when I leave school? we repeated time and again in the last three years. It seems funny now. We are Seniors, nearing graduation and we too hate to go. Will we forget that freshman year when we wonderei what is was all about? That first Get Acquainted Dancew when we were forced to dance with our senior partner and trembled from fear of stepping over her shoes? Our knees knocked and our teeth chartered. We barely could pronounce our names. Our teachers complimented us for being so well dressed for the occasion, but we felt as if in a straight jacket. Remember? Or that awful feeling in the pit of our stomach when we failed to do out assignment or didtft study for the test? Or when we were caught cheat- ing any time? Will we ever forget how scarei we were when we played our first basketball game before a crowd? How we almost died when we were asked to make a public appearance at an assembly? How we never knew what to say when we were introduced to a stranger, and even more so, if we were to make the introduction? Or how embarrassed and scared we were when we first asked a girl for a date? How awkward we felt when we carried Sisters, books? How we felt when caught smoking in the tjohn ? How proud and happy we were when we received the smallest reward for something? How we were secretly happy when teachers rea cognized our work or had given us publicity in the Casmirette? How about the various speakers for numerous occasions? Good old- fashioned movies? Assemblies and glee club rehearsals? Shakesperean dramas in English classes? Panels and symposia in history classes? Broken tubes and barometers in Physics classes? Those non-proportional dia- grams in drafting classes? Will, we forget them too? Foremostly, our beautiful Senior Play, the coveted Ring Day, the breath taking Senior Ball, the fascinating ilIcicle Folly? the enjoyable Skip Day, Walled Lake excursion. What about the educational trips to Lansing, Greenfield Village, Historical Museum, D. B. 1., Ford Plant, Detroit Science Fair. Symphonies at Ford Auditorium? Rackham Build- ing? Library? How abotu the annual retreats? May Crowning Proces- sions? Monthly dedications to the Sacred Heart? This and much more is now only a memory, Somehow, somewhere within the recess of our minds and hearts we, graduates, are carrying out a nostalgic feeling for days gone by. UNDERCLASSMEN EXTEND GOOD WILL WISHES by Diane Mazur June 1959 marks a birth of a reach their desired goals. Others will go out and meet the world with a brisk handshake and a look of de- termination on their faces as they new kind of life for our seniors. They will no longer be seen walk- ing down the halls of St. Casimir High School, giving everyone a quick helloi9 as they hurry to their classes. Some might be walking down the halls of a college, getting the higher knowledge necessary to add their number to the working po- pulation. To each and every one of you. we. the juniors, wish happiness and a rich, full like that will bring honor to your God, your name, your classmates, and the graduat- ing class of 1959 of St. Casimir High School. 7 , June7 1959 Congratulations graduates! And here's wish for you That all your hopes And plans work out The way you want them to. Sophomores TO MY BROTHER PAT, THE GRAD Spring, with its freshness and buoyancy is a time of bustling and feverish activity. One of the prin- cipal events of the season, of course, is graduation. And so St. Casimir will send its thirty-seven Seniors into the world where dangers lurk on every road. 1, your freshman brother, pray and hope that you will choose the right path and ulti- mately attain your covered goal - whatever it may be. -- Gerald Ficek '62 THANK YOU Mrs. Theresa Fullan, alumna, has graciously donated an Album of the Standard Records of W o r l d 'i 5 Greatest Music. These symphonic classics of im- mortal composers carry illustrations and musical commentary by out- standing authorities. The school gratefully ledges the valuable gift. acknow- We Will Always Remember by Linda Owens i62 June 7 -- Does this particular date mean anything to you? It cer- tainly does to the student body of Saint Casimir High. To the gra- duates of 59 it is a day of honor and glory; to the remaining stu- dents it is a day of sorrow and loss. 0:1 that day our seniors with their diplomas will leave S.C.H. never to return. In the past year they have set fine examples for all of us and we have sincerely appre- ciated their help. They have aided tremendously in all activities and social events and have helped us to differentiate right from wrong. Their graduation, on June 7, will be their first step in the long jour- ney toward adulthood. As they step forth into the world as young men and women of to- morrow, we wish them success and express our best wishes for their future years.
