Zest and festivity temper their classwork as the scarlet and gray boosters prepare seasonal bulletin boards, colorful pep rallies, and inspiring programs, such as the Pope Pius XII Commemoration Symposium presented by the church history students. Practice makes perfect for the Lads, too, as every eleventh grader on the Varsity, with poise and power, reached All-City fame. Also, spring practice beckoned to the diamondeers who with their pitching, hitting, and fielding combination set out for the third time to clinch the baseball title. Social functions too, attract committees to share in making posters, help decorate the gym for dances, and draw up plans for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Future nurses, turn enthusiasts at their club discussions while at their meetings. Junior Achievers turn producers. In the ceaseless, boundless round of activity, the juniors grow into useful, fuller individuals. Under able leadership and through motivated in- terests they mold their personalities as the citizens of tomorrow. 29

Oh, for the busy life of a junior, whose privi- lege it is to join all organizations, conduct cam- paigns, and follow a course of study which is a stepping-stone to success. In the know, the juniors take the most active part in the school. They accept responsibility with prestige, stimulating drives for the United Foundation, the Catholic Student's Mission Cru- sade, the Bishops' Relief, and the new Hamtramck Library Fund. They distinguish them- selves in scholarship. The academic students receive the most honor certificates, whereas the business education students gain special awards for typing and bookkeeping. In literary merits, some students' entries rate first such as those in National High School Poetry and that of the out- standing girl in the Archdiocesan Development Fund Essay contest. The eleventh graders broad- en horizons of citizenship through major roles in student government and a day's visit to the Cap- itol at Lansing, Michigan. Of the five hundred students, no class has a more acute sense of belonging to the three- story red brick building on 2650 Caniff Avenue 28
