“The Builders,” is a fitting theme for the yearbook of our class. Upon entering as freshmen, we caught the fever for building very early. The drive for the construction of a Grotto was already on. Although we, as a class, did not participate in the actual building of the Grotto, we did our part. We became enthusiastic over the paper drive and watched enviously as the builders mixed cement and set the foundation. We donated to the fund to buy a statue of Our Lady. After the Grotto was completed and dedicated, there remained numerous jobs to be done. We helped to clean the pond, pull weeds, paint the fence, and fix the flag-pole base. The sidewalk in front of the main build- ing was enlarged and general repairs were made during the years. This year it became necessary to add a new classroom to accommodate the large enrollment. It seemed too good to be true to see the lights go up on the field, and to have such a record-breaking crowd for our first night game. Now, as we prepare to leave, plans for the erection of a new building are at last becoming realities. Again, we will not be able to take part in the construction, but the fever has been caught by the other students, and the spirit of “The Builders” will live on.
