SENICDRS Throughout the coming years we, now seniors, will hold fast to the meaning of Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God. With the help of the Brothers we have attempted for the past four years to perform all our actions for the love of God. Together with our own personal convictions and the tremendous aid we have received, we should be able to face the world as faithful Soldiers of Christ. We have learned that some things such as marks are merely a means to an end and should not 'be sought after as if they were the end itself. So also it is in life, we must use certain material goods to attain our goalp but we must not make these goods our predominant aim. If we employ this knowledge and seek our salvation through love of God, our time spent at Cretin will have been most successful.

PRESIDENT Four years as president of the class of '55 is proof positive of Ken Pierre's unmistakable leadership. No other senior has achieved such ' ' ' T' -with the distinction in so many varied activities as he. Coopera ion d ' 'tration moderators senior council, and students in general- a minus , , has been his specialty. Always gracious, yet somewhat reserved in man- ner, he has acquired the art of being a good listener. In council dis- cussions he made it a point to hear both sides of every question. . .dhlfll ln spite of a multiplicity of activities, he has remaine sc o as ica y in the upper ten percent of the class, while attaining four Merit Medals d h' ' ' nal- and being elected to the National Honor Society. Lea ers up in 'our ' d t' and swimming have likewise been his at Cretin. Seldom ism, rama ics, has he been absent from any school function in the past four years. A art from his school activities he has been a leader at the Catholic P Youth Center and Chairman of the Central Committee. He likewise was president of the youth -club in his parish. He has always found time to be of assistance whenever needed, and made it a point to be all to all . lt seems almost unnecessary to men- tion that he was chosen Most Popular Senior . - e Kenneth .l. Plell LASS DFFICERS VICE-PRESIDENT One of the most outstanding members of the class of '55 is Chicago's contribution to CretinMJoe Westermeyer. Coming to Cretin at the beginning of his sophomore year with a dazzling average, he has added to it during his three years here. Within a short time he became well known and well liked by all of his classmates. Casual in manner, quiet and level-headed, he has added a needed element to the senior council meetings. When the class standings at the close of the seventh semester were released, it surprised no one that Joe, with an average of 96.7, wqg named the Valedictorian. Manifesting a great desire for learning and a seeming indifference to marks, he has achieved them both. Athletics play a most important part in the life of the Vice-President. Football, swimming, and track were his favorites, Intramural sports have always been to his liking. Stonewall as he is so often called, is a natural leader. Activities such as Contact and Cretinite have found him to be one of the most sincere and cooperative of workers. He has been a friend to everyone. His gifts of intellect combined with his charity and other outstanding traits of character bid well to making a successful future. Joseph J Wes ferme Yer
