CLASS POEM. TO '38 I wandered through the realm of dreams Where Somnus nods his weary head: A book I saw of mighty themes In which no mortal ere had read. I scanned the deeds of you, my friends 5 Of you who part from me today, Of you whose joy with sorrow blends, Since you must enter life's hard fray. I saw battle 'gainst great oddsg I saw you fight with all ,your might, I saw you writhe beneath the rods Of life that punished with delight. Y I saw you break through thick and thin 5 I saw you strive with steely willg I saw you lose, I saw you wing I saw you dare life's threat with skill. I saw you rise to heights of fame, I saw your glory spreading wide, I saw the greatness of your name, The source of all your manly pride. When I had read this writing grand, I asked the sprite to show no more, But left the still Hypnian strand To meet life's troubles as of yore. Irvin J. Zielinski. i if HISTORY OF CLASS AND SCHOOL. In 1934, a group of 18 boys entered high school with the aim of establish- ing higher Catholic education in South Bend. With visions of coming improve- ments, high hopes and encouragement from two Brothers, these few students pioneered in founding Central Catholic High School. During the four years that followed, the school has advanced from infancy to a state-accredited boys' high school. The students came into the public limelight with the presenta- tion of Long, Long, Ago. Later that year, basketball inaugurated the athle- tic program of a nine-game schedule. The newly-founded school newspaper, The Newcomer, announced the school's colors+gold and green. The school year was closed by a banquet and scholastic awards. Joseph J. McCaffery guided the first student body as presi- dent. Football and a Party of Beauty helped enliven the second year for the sopho- more group. The first football game was won. The team was nicknamed the Miami Indians. A biology laboratory, the office, and three new rooms were completed during the year. The year was brought to a close by a picnic and scholastic contests. The third vear found more students in the junior class. Activities, scholas- THE TRAIL tic, athletic, and social, were rounded out into a more complete pattern for school life. A sense of a complete institution was the thought uppermost in the minds of the seniors as the year opened. The en- tire enrollment .passed the one hundred mark, thus enabling an extensive athle- tic program. The Newcomer became a monthly publication. Several prece- dents were established during the year -The Monogram Dance, the St. Joseph Academy-Central Catholic Mixer, and the Central Catholic Invitational Grade School Basketball Tournament. The school's curriculum included a band and orchestra, debate team, com- mercial classes. Due to the kindness of many friends of the school, the library has grown from a few volumes to that of several thousands. The Mothers' and Patrons' Clubs aided the school in furnishing mono- grams to those who earned them. The year was completed with a Year- book - The Trail - which took its name from that suggested by the nick- name, Indians. Twenty-two boys are proud to make up the first graduating class of Central Catholic High School. Page Twenty-Three
