Br. Lee and some Pl'Y5lCS Students' The Junior PFC m in full swlDQ- The Finale. Back on the campus in junior year sought to rule. The so-called brai class was gallantly struggling with eig subjects and six regents in one year. Th left some choice words for Newton's la and Cicero's speeches. The honor list ha a Cassius' look llean and hungryl. Ric Schaefer was now the number one st dent, but he was closely pursued. Th petit gros frere waltzed across the stag only long enough to tell us that he didn' speak to juniors, and that he was tryin to put out a yearbook, so don't look a the camera. In sports we were represented by first stringers on every major varsity sport: Ja Cassen and Jack Hildebrand in football Pete Cella in basketballg Bill Sheridan i baseball and Joe Colaneri in swimmin Debating and Oratory was completel manned by juniors, and they brough many laurels to the school, including thei second straight victory in the ICB Foren sic League. The Science Club could boas that at least half its errors were made b juniors. Glee Club, despite a few losses still was supported mainly by juniors Even such sacred senior activities as news paper and yearbook had junior represen tation. Of course there is no doubt lt our minds at leastl that the Junior Pro was the best ever. According to Confucius. the best i often last. Senior year was no exception The Senior Class dominated Iona life an the history of the year has been portraye in this Saga. ln June, four years came to an end four years that will never again find a equal in our lives. An unforgettable er was terminated, an era filled with ne faces, new ideas, and a more mature out look on life. For all of this, the fifth da of June, nineteen hundred and fifty-nin was an appropriate and dramatic climax

As we scan the years ahead, we are absorbed in a stream of thoughts and remi- niscences. The ebb and flow of events have given us the strong foundations which are our heritage from Iona. We entered this School filled with the eager conceit of youth, and we have all-too-quickly arrived at this inevitable climax and the culmination of our studies. Yet, as we mount the graduation platform, we experience a sense of melancholy. Standing amidst the irrevocable past and the uncertain future, we review the gulf of four years which have passed with the rapidity of a turning kalei- doscope. The generosity of our parents and the devotion of our teachers have provided for us the true incentives to learning. But it is not our aim to gain the applause of future ages. In the dim procession of years, we shall easily recall our most memo- rable days here, for Iona has fashioned for us a firm and balanced manhood. She has taken root in our lives, and we shall always be indebted to everything she represents. Truly, Iona School is our Alma Mater, continuous and ever- lasting as the knowledge she bestows. 160 ma-md by Suywudaq NEW CITY PR4NTING CO Immun crrv. Nw Jnslv
