Class Resume With the kindly advice of Father Murphy, the principal, and under the careful guidance of the class advisers, Father Bolger and Sister M. Honora, the seniors of 1940 enjoyed a successful year of business and social activities. Band music and cheers officially closed the senior election campaign on October 10. Austin Ruth was chosen president, Patricia Bonnell, vicefpresident, Paula Kowalski, secretary, and John Ferguson, treasurer. On October 21, the annual Homecoming was observed with the usual crown- ing of the queen by the master of ceremonies. A rapid succession of social events took place, including skating parties on October 25 and May 1, and an amateur program on December 19. The annual retreat, given by Reverend Ignatius McDonough of the Friars of the Atonement, January 31, February 1 and 2, marked a period of solemn reflection. This was certainly a time of retreat within the soul and the sound advice of Father Ignatius will not be forgotten soon. After a great deal of scouting the Spires staff was appointed toward the latter part of November. Although the project lasted through May, the actual work did not begin until the middle of February when the Royalty Contest was announced. In future years it will be a distinctive pleasure to glance through the pages of the yearbook and know that it was one of the greatest achievements of the class of '40. A farcical comedy, the senior play, Charley's Aunt, took place March 28 and 29 in South High Auditorium. The rest of the school year will ind the seniors in a whirl of activity, preparf ing for graduation exercises which will be completed June 14. L. ll. fa
