SENIORS .... President . , Arthur Smith Vice-President Firmina Sweeney Secretary Shirley Gilroy Treasurer . Iohn Mack Dear Classmates, VVe are about to complete four successful years at Elmira Catholic High. As we leave, l am sure that we all carry with us a tender remembrance of our Alma hlater. Under the guidance of the good Sisters, Father Reilly and Father Burns, we have steadily progressed in mind and body. These days can never be recalled. If we have used them to good advantage, we are completely prepared to enter the world. After graduation each of us will launch his ship upon lifels diverse whirlpools. However, no matter in which direction we set our course, let us always remember our goal-Heaven. l am sure that we are fully aware of it. Our activities have been marked with success largely through the active cooperation of every member of the class. To paraphrase an old expression, possibly it was due to the fact that we are 'ljust one big happy family. VVhen we leave, we must not drop the many friendships which we have cultivated in these secondary years. Life is too short to disregard any companionship that we may make. Some of us will go to college, others to business school. The same roof will no longer hold us together. VVe shall be on our own. Difficult problems will no doubt find their way into all of our lives. No one of them, however large, will be too great to conquer if we remember that big things come slowly. l am certain that l can speak for the entire class iii thanking the facultv for their active interest in our social and intellectual welfare. It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with you during our senior year. Yours sincerely, Arthur D. Smith Ol 13 IO

CLASS HISTORY Freshmen N a bright morning in September of the year of 1934, a group of boys and girls scrubbed Within an inch of their lives and, eager to begin their high school careers, climbed three flights of stairs to what seemed to them 'fseventh heavenf, These boys and girls, just green from grammar school, were destined to be the most radical class ever to enter the Elmira Catholic High School. At our first class meeting we tried to act grown upf, Therefore we accomplished something, for we elected our class officersg William Reed, president, Charles Fonhy, vice-president, Catherine Dartt, secretary, and Ioseph Short- sleeve, treasurer. Although our class had no particular activity of its own in our Hrst year, still we were kept busy with the activities of the Sodality and the other classes. We were the first class to study Economic Citizenship, which dashed our hopes of another study period after Ianuary. We walked into Latin with our heads held high determined to master it if it took our last ounce of strength. We planned a class picnic to climax our first year, but due to numerous difficulties it never materialized. Sophomores As has been said before, our class was destined to be radical and we certainly proved it in our second year. For the Hrst time in the history of the school a girl was elected president of the class. Mary Wipfler had the honor of presiding over the class in our sophomore year. Iohn Tormey was vice-president, Ellen Moxley, secretary, and Charles Fouhy, treasurer. Of course, as sophomores, we regarded the incoming freshmen with the proper amount of disdain as was befitting our superior position. Again we joined the Sodality and supported the activities of the other classes. But this year, being more organized, we had many K'doin's of our own. At Christmas we all worked hard for and enjoyed a party. Witli a borrowed radio, cornmeal on the floor, and a lighted Christmas tree, fun was had by all. We were the first sophomore class to express our talents in an assembly. We even dared to sponsor such an enterprise as a carnival, which was highly successful, socially and financially. While we battled with Caesar, waded into French, we strove to conquer goemetry. When our second year was over we had the memories of two happy years behind us and many hopes for two more ahead of us. Iuniors Time passes swiftly, doesn't it? Almost before we knew when, how, or why it happened we were Iuniors. And we had a new principal, tool After due consideration, with strict regard for the rules of parliamentary law, we elected class officers. Those honored were Ol 1410
