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.

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
