All Saints Commercial School A School Dany At 8:40 sharp the bell always rings. Then promptly we get out our Steno thingsg And through this period we do blunder, Until the bell outside does thunder. Then our period of Spanish begins- And do we make a merry din, Reciting verbs and how they form Reflexive and imperfect, the period long. As 10:40 o'clock draws near, We leave our classroom, oh so dear. We type with might and main, , Promotion sure in June to gain. The forty minutes pass like nightg Then to our classroom trip we light. Our Bookkeeping teacher there we meet, Who checks our ledgers clean and neat. Our program is disturbed by lunch: As we return we have a hunch That 'rithmetic will be our fate- For this, of course, we can't be late. Our English meeting then we hold, And variously our features mold, When to the class the speaker relates How Rebecca almost met her fate. Thus through the day we gaily go, Trying to learn and wanting to knowg But from without comes the sound of the bell, And thus we end a joyous spell. Margaret Metzner, '32 Page 21

All Saints Commercial School was rapidly increasing thanks to the teachers to whom we gave our knowledge in the freshman class. JUNIORS! This term brought the joyful news that Father Mulz had been appointed pastor of our church. As administrator of the parish, Father Mulz and the students had become well acquainted, so we rejoiced indeed. We immediately prepared for him a welcoming reception, at which we spent a happy time. After the reception we returned home in a downpour of rain to spend the day as we pleased. Duning this term we presented two very interesting assemblies, Over the Hills , and The Hour Glass . Both produced the desired result. At the former tears flowed copiously, and at the latter serious thoughts had a very sobering effect upon our audience. SENIQRS! Ah! At least we had reached our goal. We were the most important people in the school fso we thoughtl. lt was rather gratifying to see the timid freshmen bow to us when they met us in the corridors, and step aside for us on the staircase. But alas, our happiness was marred by one sad event-the death of our beloved goldfish. This heavy loss was quite unexpected and stole from us our usual joviality. Even in his last moments on earth, our dear little Goldie was not deprived of water, for the salt tears fell fast and free. After the burial we resumed our studies in a very subdued mood. We learned that by doing excellent work during the term, we would be entitled to exemption at midterm. This was no hard task for such brilliant students as we thought ourselves to beg however, we worked with a vim. The joyful time of exemption for some and midterm examinations for others passed quickly, and the Easter holidays brought our last school vacation. On May 13 we had our senior play, which will not soon be forgotten. The seniors, making a very pretty picture, sang Bigger and Better , revised by Dominga Durlacher. Then followed a lively and intensely interesting play entitled Our Aunt from California . The climax of the afternoon was The Death of Blessed Imelda , dramatically presented. Finally, the seniors sang The Stein Song , also revised to fit the occasion by Dominga. Thus ended the history of the Senior Class of june 1930. Amidst tears and heartaches we said goodbye to our beloved Alma Mater, nevertheless, we have the consolation of having formed friendships that will endure throughout the yearsg we shall always look back upon the days spent in All Saints as both profitable and enjoyable. Fare-thee-well, Alma Mater! Fare-thee-well! With tear-dimmed eyes we realized that the announcer had signed off. Dorothy Waldeck, '30 Lucille Harrigan, '30 Page 20
