Questioning Public: Jeanette Cichostemski '-- We, the graduating class, hope to carry out into our lives all that we have learned at St. Casimir High and prove our- selves good citizens by serving God and our Country. Joan Simon -- Some of us will further our education by going to colleges; ' ' '1 others will hold clerical positions. Our graduation marks the begin- ning along the highway of life. Whatever we have learned we owe it to our good school, our teachers, and our dear parents. Erlin Madrigal -- This is the time a graduate realizes the importance of his school and the significance of SiSters teaching. Each one of us must search for a satisfying path of life and look for new friends who will show us the way. Eileen Cassar --- We are sad because from now on we will be on our own. Jean Saeid e A feeling of fright comes over us and we long for the security of a classroom. Wallace Szumny -- Graduation tests our maturity. The responsibility of proving ourselves equal to our task lies solely with us. Marie DuFore w- The doors of St. Casimir will close on us but the world does not owe us a living. We will have to stand on our own two feet. Carol Agius -- To depart from the spirit of a classroom has a timorizing effect. Julia Kimsal - I,ve been praying for the day when Pd graduate, Now that it is here, I don,t want to go. A BOUQUET 0F WISHES TO YOU In Victorian times, when the language of flowers was in vogue, a young man who sent a bouquet to his girl had to watch his step. A red rose or red tulip meant, I love youfl hut larkspur complained, uYou,1'e ficklef, and Chrysanthe- mums said, in effect, Letis just be friends? A charming custom that might be revived, this Rlanguage has an extensive vocabulary. Hetels one interpretation of familiar blooms: Orchid: You are beautiful. Purple hyacinth: Forgive me. Your Iris: much friendship means China aster: Pll consider your offer. Daffodil: My love is unrequited. Yellow rose: You are unfaithful. Pink carnation: Pll never forget you. Gardenia: Youlre lovely. Blue violet: Pll be true, always. Jonquil: Please return my af- faction. Dear Graduates, Speaking in the language of the 1 1flowers we offer this bouquet of good will and wishes to you. God love you! - Casmirette Staff TO OUR ALTAB BOYS Altar boys in white Serving with delight- Altar boys, in lace Thanking God for grace. At daybreak they depart To receive Jesus in their heart. Close to God they kneel Serving Him with zeal. Nearly surpliced, calm and sure At the altar, the boys are secure. This poem is dedicated to Joe Schimelfening, Al Spiteri, and Wal- lace Szummy -- the three gradua- ting altar boys who have served five, eight, and eleven years res- pectively.

June, 1961 C A S M I R Cmemorieo IN RETROSPECT by Mary Bernal d6! Have you ever wondered what walls and rooms would say if they could talk? What numerous facts they could reveal about the people that occupied them? What 'cher-V ished secrets they could disclose? I have! Yes, I have often wondered about many places and many rooms. And as I look around, I wonder about the walls of St. Ca- simir. What could these school walls tell us? Many things! The laughter, the sadness. and the proud mo- ments of the years; the sacrifices, the emotions. and the tears of its occupants. Wisdom and ignorance; successes and failures -- EVERY- THING that combinedly makes a schooPs tradition! They could echo the excitment before the perfor- mance of 'programs, the thrill of each new dance, the rapid pulse before report card markings, the joy of accomplishment, the disap- pointment in failure, the tender ness of love between an under- standing teacher and a pupil, and the close bond of true frienship among classmates. The stillness of the tall, sleek rooms would re-echo the common pattern of daily school life. Each window would reflect the sunshine that lighted class after class. Doors that opened opportunity for many, would open our eyes to the secrets that were enclosed therein. Books and shelves would show us the knowledge that they contain. And the exits would mirror the somber disappearance of each graduating class. Yes, I wonder what facts the walls of St, Casimit would reveal about us - the Graduating Class of 1961. We stand at the exit... tQAh, wedll miss those halls of ivy That we learned to love so well? 1': T T E page 5 goreuer W V ???
