When school was only two days old, we organized a uCalvert Newsn that fulfilled all expectations, and took first place in the state contest. Many of our high-powered voices are still heard in the glee club. Many laurels are due to the first all-senior cast who put wfhe Tightwadn over to the public as one of the biggest dramatic successes in the history of Calvert, and thus climaxed our dramatic success. Our orator again represented Calvert at the boys? oratorical contest, and returned with first honorable mention, establishing a record in the diocese for speaking honors. We also sent a girl representative, who brought us back the trophy for permanent possession. Our commercial students again put us in the front by winning first place in the state, in the amateur mass typing contest, and added another trophy to Calvert's collection. To climax the outstanding record, we are publishing this book, conlident that it will equal, if not excel, the standards set by former classes. lt was a case of quality and not quantity which placed us in the front with flying colors year after year, and enabled us to win almost every campaign conducted during our stay at Calvert. We proudly hang up this record as a challenge to future classes. So we end four happy and successful scholastic years, and as the day nears, on which we will receive our diplomas, we trust and hope to spend the rest of our lives in accordance with the ideals which were instilled into our hearts by the faculty of Calvert.

We often wondered why there wasn't a nutty club at Calvert before the freshmen of l927 came, but when we look back and see that our class boasted of ten original members, it is no longer a mystery. And so, when June came, we could all join with Shakespeare and say, UAll's well that ends well.77 September came again, and we had the heavenly feeling of being sedate sopho- mores. We began this year with more pep than ever, and graciously took to our credit the very first campaign of the year, that of selling the highest number of subscriptions for our school publication. Another mission paper sale came along, We won that, too. ln view of the fact that the sophomores seemed to have an excess amount of lung capacity, and that they were favored with much Hexibility of tongue, it Was decided to organize a harmonica band. Nine members of our class helped to make this organi- zation a big blow out. The dramatic presentation, The Thirteenth Chair,'7 found one of our members playing a leading role, and thus starting a record in dramatics made by our class and likely to stand for some time. As a fitting ending to this great year, we won the subscription campaign for the Calvertana, and called it quits until the next September. Then came our junior year, and it is one to be remembered. Scouting became a new activity and our junior girls were superb in the art of tying knots. The goddess of oratory certainly had her eye on our class, for it was from our ranks that the speaker for the boys, oratorical contest was chosen, and of course he brought back the trophy. Our commercial students brought us honors, two of them placed high in the district meet and entered the state Hnals. The annual play, MThe Patsyf' was a great success, but why not when three of our own boys starred in it? Next We put out the junior issue of '6The Calvert News, and it only went to show the great things that were in store for the readers the next year. To top off an outstanding year, we put on a junior-senior banquet that it will take years to equal. Lastly, we write of our senior year. We have tried to make this year stand for our best efforts, for we realize that it is the last one we will spend at Calvert.

Through the greater part of the hundred years we now commem- orate, they have guided our schools. To them be- longs the larger share of the glory of our present golden age '- of Catholic education. YVe, the seniors of Calvert, who have known their guiding influence from the tender years ofchildhood,even to the present day, with a sense of personal pride, deem it a privi- lege to speak the word of tribute to their part in the glories of the past, and, with a realization of our indebtedness, add a second Word, that of heartfelt and abiding grat- titude to those noble women, SAINT ANGELA who have given up homes of their own, that they might become the guiding spir- its in hundreds of homes,4the ' Ursuline Nuns. gil. ,Tit -- TI-l .. 313 ,M,E,WWE,,,WEW,,M,E,W,E,,,,,a,E,,WE,,W,g,,,f,,E,,V,,gW,MgWg.,g page twenty
