A IUNIOR'S DREAM Taking a stroll in the forest 'Neath the green of the trees I viewed the features of a Springtime Day And listened to the hum of the bees. Then under a shady oak, For a While, I chanced to sit, And With its cool trunk for a pillow I suppose l napped a bit. Far off in a distance But oh! so clear The destiny of my classmates Seem to appear. Rosemary is in society Entertaining her many guests, lean is a scientist And it's said she is the best. Betty and Nan are Aviatrixes Skimming the skies of azure, While Evelyn and Albina are secretaries, And efficient, you may be sure. Muriel is an accomplished musician Her goal she sought and Won, Mildred has entered the convent Soon to be a holy nun. Olga is a housewife To her lovely home she Will invite you to dine, Billie and Elsie are nurses, With hearts brave and kind. Shirley and Dorothy are reporters 'Tis sure they will be famous someday, And lune has surprised us all, guess what? W' hy! she is president of the U. S. A. My dream ended suddenly And as I awoke with a start God bless you dear classmates Said a voice from my heart. -Doris Williams Page Twenty- four

BAND Everyone will agree that the school-year of 1939-1940 was one of the most brilliant in the School's musical history. The great success we met with was due first to the organization of the band by Sr. M. Mechtilde and now chiefly to Sisters M. Genevieve and Dorothy's introduction of methods of musical instructions and practice, that is, of group and individual lessons, separate rehearsals for each section of the band and finally entire band practice. On February 22nd, our band competed in a contest conducted at Laredo, Texas, in which many bands from the state took part. We were very fortunate in bringing home a pretty little trophy and a forty-dollar prize. The band has appeared in many recitals during the year and also in a number of school parades. We of the class '40 sincerely thank the instructors and congratulate the band members for the unselfish spirit and hard work they have shown in their constant practice session.
