P. every day, With smiling faces and clever brains We joined in all good sports and games. As Sophomores, we took an awkward way Of doing things, so teachers say, In football teams we always played, Yet we just couldn't make the grade. As Juniors, knowledge overflowed, In every class our faces glowed., The midnight oil we always burned, The old folks often seemed concerned. But now we're Seniors with little to say, For serious hours have come to stay, Life's vista opens with puzzling charm, The future sounds a new alarm. Genius burns from hand to heart, Making studies more an art, Big Ben calls us anxiously, We'll try to get work eagerly. The M. Sc H. a'top the hill, Its massive towers belch forth their fill Each hardy Senior of swarthy hand, Helps swell the glory of our land. The quarries yield with honest toil, The nati'on's glory from our soil, La Salle's contribution none too small, We'll try to please one and all. Mary Bicocchi. 5:57:llC.YX5 f J L Page Twemgf-fue

Having written everything else long ago, we are forced at last to discuss the all-pretentious Seniors. For the benefit of the lower classmen we will endeavor to tell you just what a Senior is. He is mentallv a gloomy, disenchanted person, who leisurely shuffles about the dismal halls of our reputed House of Learning, with his arms burdened with books, trying to dodge work-and Mr. Kohin. With all his manly worries, he still has time to attend all the class games, school socials, go to the Majestic Theatre every night, absorb College Humor and the like. Most of all, Seniors will have their fun trying to lead the poor innocent Freshmen astray by sending them tp the office on questionable errands. With all this and more-he makes the Honor Roll. CThis is all very true, my fellow students, except the last statementj Let us know if there is anything else you would like explained, because before we forget: In all the organizations, the Seniors have loyally mingled the Red and Green of our school with the Blue and Gold of our class. Ere the Senior Class departs from this worthy haven, the faculty opens its heart, closes its eyes and with heart- felt relief says: The most loyal, most rogressive class is about to leave us. We cannot vision the coming year without tliem-et cetera. We must now mention the greatly worried- and hard-worked class officers. A Senior officer is a rather nice person to have around-when you can't find anyone else. They aren't such terribly good-natured persons, however, You see, our pres- ident, Kenneth Gehm, usually walks around in deep thought trying to solve al the problems of his fellow-Seniors, as he is blamed for everything the Seniors do. CBut o Seniors ever do anything wrong?D Our Vice-President, Geraldine Kreis, was elected to give our president some inspirations as how to- -?? Robert Schwen- dimann, our treasurer, a very much harassed individual who goes around with a sheaf of papers in one hand and a roll of bills Cnot money-the kind that calls for moneyj in the other hand and wonders where all the cash is goin to come from. Margaret Strohm is our verv capable secretary, who with the aid ofg the office, tries to keep all the important facts of our notorious class. Therefore, let us say that this Senior Class has been an asset to the School and has set a high standard of respect and recognition for all other classes of good old L-P. ' Page Twenty-four
