Senior Girls' Class History When essay contests were announced, our class, In all affairs the leaders, took the pen And under heavenly inspiration wrote, And by the written word increased the fame Of our Redeemer High School: and we gained Rewards that richly paid us for the task. But, having thoughts, we wished to send them forth Bedecked and clothed in clear and fitting words! 'Tis true that self-expression must be learned By persevering practice of the art Of Public Speaking: hence, we wisely chose The girls we thought the most experienced In this regard, to represent our class As orators, to vie with Senior girls Upon the stage. The Junior, who, last year, Was judged the best declaimer, once again Gave evidence of genius, and secured The second highest rating of the test! Initiated in the mysteries Of science, we would see the marvels taught In books. Hence, we forsake the schoolroom's l To find a proof for all we've learned. We go To Stearns', and there explore the wonders of Their scientific manufacturing: Then to the Waterworks, to witness there Just how our city water's purified. Convinced that books did not exaggerate Descriptions of amazing facts like these, We are content to study from our texts. But hush! We hear strange sighs and sobs. We seek To find the authors of these groans. They seem To issue from the Seniors' sanctum. Ah! Those tears bear but one explanation. 'Tis The end of Senior struggles. We alone Can comfort those to whom we bid farewell. With feasting, dance, and laughter, our gay class Sends forth the sober Seniors to the world: And with our prayer, that God will ever bless Their undertakings, they depart, while we Remain to fill the vacant seats within The Senior classroom. Help us now, O Go-d, Who brought us here without a single stain Upon our record as a model class! O guide us through the difficulties of Seniority. And grant, that when this year Has passed into oblivion, our class Will have discovered then-the golden crown! ight BOOK IV. Just out of reach the bright tiara gleams For but a moment: then a massive mount Looms up before the shining gold and dims Its beauteous lustre. We approach and read A bold inscription carved upon the rock, If you would win the triple crown for which You've toiled and fought and conquered three long years, You first must climb this rugged obstacle. You will encounter on your journey's course, Aeneas with his thrilling tale of Troy, And Physic's fields of scorching, burning Heat, And dazzling Light, and Electricity. By this be warned of trials. 'Tis for you To find the pleasures that are hidden on The mountain's thorny ridge, and there are many. Despite the warning we are resolute. We choose our guides: Miss DuBreuil becomes Class president, and Helen Thierry, next In rank, is made vice-president: one girl To care for our financial worries and Page Thirty-seven Another to assume the duties of Class secretary are elected. Thus Directed, we begin to climb the mount. When one retreats to California's groves: But staid Donelda joins to take her place. We bravely hold our eyes fast riveted Upon the far objectives, lest we trip And fall behind the others. There arise The many questions of Seniority. We loo-k at uniforms and rings and pins, And all are pleased with our selection. Then The Seniors haste to join the pageantry, And help to celebrate with solemn joy Our dear Redeemer's Golden Jubilee! Then books demand attention of the girls. The way grows weary, when the Juniors call, And bring us to a party-brief respite From study's irksome course. But back to school! Debates and oratory once again Claim our attention. We successfully Direct and stage a one-act schoolroom sketch, And at a mid-year party we present The play to Juniors with a humorous Mock trial. Our pursuits are variable: We are engrossed in spiritual affairs. Our delegates to Marygrove we send To represent Redeemer's S. S. C. And when a spiritual union is proposed. Redeemer, with whole-heartedness. consents And enters as an active unit. Too, The Students' Mission Crusade challenges. With quick reply we help in saving souls, And join the Propagation of the Faith. Then back to play, to basketball to prove Our prowess on the court. Invincible We stand until misfortune breaks our luck, And we succumb with grace to foul defeat: But with the resolution to avenge Our slighted reputation. In the gap 'Twixt one game and another, schoolwork claims Attention undivided, earnest thought, And study diligent. We pass exams With honors. Tempus fugit! As we climb, The jewels twinkle in the diadem! Our trembling palms extend to grasp the prize! Then witness, O ye rocks and mountain streams, Ye flowers wild, ye gay and rippling brooks, Ye fens and crags. attest: and then proclaim The sorrow which the sinews of our hearts Could not restrain, which burst, and in a flood Of copious tears flowed forth with sob and groan To purge these souls so soon to leave the halls That sheltered them for years, to bid adieu To schoolmates-books-the happy, happy days Of girlhood-to our school, Redeemer High! One last display of all our talent: one Review of all our victories is made On class day: then we seek God's benediction, And as the martial strains of Graduation Announce the triumph and departure of The class of '31 we rise in turn 6 gc - 0. l - i P ' I Ks . Each to be crowned with Knowledge, Faith, and Love. Then go we forth into a world of sin, E'er guarded by our motto, which we hold Forever to be followed. With the Hope Of one day meeting face to face in heav'n Before the Lord of all our destinies, We part, the challenge ringing in our souls, Ad summa semper! QR bc, ,l ..ref-'- - .,. -- - , amp-.
