O ' CONNEL NO SMOKING . . . EXIT ... NO RUN- NING IN THE HALLS ... UP STAIRS, DOWN STAIRS . . . Signs like these have be- come very famiHar to the O ' Connell Seniors. Signs, in fact, dominate to a great extent many different aspects of our everyday existence. They direct us to our destination on the nation ' s high- ways. They inform us of potential danger. They insure order. Signs, however, go beyond the realm of the tangible and material. They are important sym- bols of our spiritual and non-material life. At O ' Connell, where an attempt is made to mold the spiritual, academic, social, and athletic into one complete personality, signs have come to hold a special significance. The cross, symbolizing our religious dedication; the ring, indicating our sen- ior year; the letter, sparking school spirit; and the books, imparting the desired knowledge — all these are important SIGNS OF OUR TIMES at O ' Connell.
