WMS 5102555296 QQQCQIE5 We W 5?55?JW A1l1lSa1ints CComtnereiia1llSelli1ooll Unit' School Paper 31N january, 1928, the graduating class was inspired to publish a school paper. How hard they worked to attain their goal! The result was a mimeographed booklet. The following term, their ceaseless untiring efforts were resumed by their successors. The result was the same. The publication of these two books meant much hard work, sore fingers from sketching and typing. ln january, 1929, the graduates realized their ambition-a printed school book. Their fervent and zealous efforts were rewarded. This was the present seniors' first term in the revered walls of their Alma Mater. We, too, felt a tinge of pride in our seniors' success, for after all we were fellow-students. For three successive terms now we have rooted for A. S. C., and each term has witnessed the editing and publishing of the printed book. After a perusal of this, our book, the reader will see that the seed which was planted by the january 28's has burst into bloom. We, the seniors, saw the sacrifices made by all those who helped make possible the printing of those issuesq now we deeply and sincerely thank you, dear Sister Principal, dear Faculty, dear Alumnae, dear Fellew-Students for your efforts in making our book a success. Helen Broedcl, '30 ,,o lin Memoriam QJQGX5 E are all looking towards the future with great expec- tation, but let us look back for a moment to the solemn day on which we learned of the unexpected death of our beloved classmate, Helen O'Neil, on April 30, 1929. We have felt the loss of her companionship, for she was a happy little person. Ripe for God's garden, the Angel of Death transplanted her soul to the eternal gardens. Her memory shall ever be to us a sweet and pleading forget- 1110-DOY. Matilda Smwitsch, '30 Page 30

A1111 Saints CCo,imm.eireiia11 Sclliiool Reaching the Goal No matter what happens you know there are few Who stick to their work and see it all throughg But life is short and the things that we do Should always be helpful, should always be true. Know that sometime you'll reach the top: Keep this in mind and never stop, Sometime you know there'll be a great day, Then to much work never say nay . You'll never be lonesome, you'll never feel blueg You'il have more friends who will stick to youg You'll receive all the credit you think is your due, So stick to your goalg I'l1 stick to mine too. Josephine Matykumas, '31 i.....o1,T 1lini Memoriam 06926 EPTEMBER, 1928, was a very eventful month for us who entered our beloved All Saints. Excited and happy we were initiated into the preparation for service in the business world. But November 30 of that year brought us solemn news. jovial Catherine Gray had suddenly left us for a brighter home beyond the skies. In the midst of our joy, the sobering thought, that we too shall one day pass from this earth to meet our Creator, has helped us immeasurably to acquire a true perspective of life's values.
