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.

Page 8 CASMIRETTE June, 1961 The Graduate It seems but just a little while since Mother said to me: HYour dresses lsuitsl ate all finished now As pretty as can be; The one you,ll wear tomorrow is the cutest of the lot, The ore with all the ribbons and the little Polka Clots.n She had worked for weeks to make them , And her heart was filled with pride, But I knew there was something She was trying hard to hide. I felt the same about it m Something heavy on my heart, I knew that when the morning came To school I must start. I turned six in September and my babyhood was past; :7 The time when I should go to school, Had really come at last. lVlom and Dad spent the night in sadness, They really could not sleep. Twas the losing of their baby that they taught They,d always keep. Now that was twelve short years ago . - Today, the little lass lladl Is one of 26 in the graduating class. Her lhisl school days are over, But we,te feeling mighty glad, That our darling litttle baby This opportunity has had. And welve come to the conclusion That in all Godls great estate, There is nothing really sweeter Than our girl lboyl Graduate! Mary Bernal Salutarian Robert Rogus Valedictorian CEhcudz you and goodbye by Pat Sienkiewicz ,61 As graduation time draws near we Seniors recall many incidents that will always hold a special place in our hearts. Incidents full of hap- piness, tenderness, sadness, love, and companionship. 7A teen can really enjoy his high school days e Especially a Catholic teen inia Catholic high school. For he not only has fun, but he is under the guidance of priests and nuns. Maybe one never fully appreciates their help until one has grown mature enough to under- stand it. The Senior Class of 1961 would like to take this opportunity to ex- tend sincere, heartfelt gratitude to Rev. C a s i m i, r Lutomski, our Pastor, for leadership and guid- ance in both,.,spiritual and tem- poral affairs i To our parents we express our deepest reverence and endless ap- preciation for helping us attain the one main goal in life -- a Cath- slic Education. We also wish to extend our gra- titude to Sister Mary Amelherga, Principal, for her untiring assist- ance and splendid cooperation in all affairs. To her we express our gtateful acknowledgement and sin- cerest esteem. We give endless thanks and af- fection to Sister Mary Sigmunda, our homeroom teacher, for her generous and expert guidance, and the many wonderful memories of her willing spirit which we clearly cherish. To our teachers, the Felician Sisters, we say Thank You,, and NGod Bless You for their patient instruction and noble example of devotion to duty. To the late Rev. Edward Maisel we offer a prayerful Eternal test grant unto him 0, Lordh; to Rev. Victor Kolasa and Rev. Paul Sie- rocki a hearty thanks for the me- mcries. To all our chaperones at social functions a warm Bog Zaplae! To out under classmen uKeep the home fires burningw To Coach John Fullan - the maker of men; the builder of teams - true recognition for his many gruelling hours of hard training and for his personal sac- rifices made for the school. To Mrs. Bernice Zadrzynski, girls, Coach, a token of apprecia- tion for leading us on to victory. GOOD-BYE, OLD HIGH . . .
