History does repeat itself, and there is nothing new under the sun. More than once we have heard these familiar expressions. As we followed our road to graduation, we became aware that our Journey in quest of success was not unique. Others, since the dawn of creation have searched and yearned for the ever- vanishing pinnacle of contentment. As our study of Latin began and the drudgery of memorizing Latin forms was replaced by mastering the syntax, we found much interest and pleasure in the programs of the Latin Club. Here we learned about the people. No longer was Latin a dead language. We found life in the proud history and culture of a people rich in traditions and the art of living. Multitudinous proiects led us down the grand avenues of adventure and dis- covery. We relived the grandeur and victorious mo- ments ofthe Roman Legions. Home and public customs became interesting and educational. Effort and time were rewarded! We did learn that I History does repeat itself and there is nothing new I I under the sun. 78

Daily Mass, Holy Hours and many other devotions all found time and an important place in our daily lives. A small and dedicated group of boys were respon- sible for Taking part and administrating to the priest during the countless liturgical functions in our school Chapel. Every morning the faithful members of the Club were present to serve Mass. Even when school was not in session, they were available, whenever they were needed as Mass servers. After a course of instructions by their moderator and some of the more experienced boys, the new members became well acquainted with things liturgi- cal, and they felt at home around the altar of God. No Journey could ever be a success unless it took in along its way the House of God. And no House of God would be complete without its acolytes. 77

Consequently, Spanish emerges to a place of importance in modern language stud- ies. We had a lot of fun learning their dances, but we still have a long way to go. Songs ancl customs also played an important part in our programs. Those strange sounding names became familiar as we studied their geography. Social and political -events found their way into our discussions. After a full year of participating in the club's activities, we feel that we have become better neighbors for we have tried through knowledge to stretch our hands across the border in a gesture of friendship and understanding. This has been a wonderful Journey through strange and distant lands. We have been left richer for experiences and our Journey to Success was more re- warding and enioyable as a result. That's a girl Francie show them how it's done. F. Kramer gives a few dance pointers to Ellen Hall, Carol Nemeth, and Peggy Cavanaugh. 79
