CLASS ODE As fades the beauty of the verdant vine That burdened with its clusters earthward bends, As fly the robins from the prickly pine, So pass the faces of my school-day friends. The laughing water rippling in the lea, The stream reflecting the image of a flower, These both exist for an eternity, But youth is limited by day and hour. We pass, and only memories remain, The bustling in the corridors at morn, The clamor of the schcolbell’s loud refrain, Stone Caesar gazing on us all in scorn, The hum of study as we downward poured On books, a footstep, echoing in the hall, A foreign language on the dusty board, The feeling of security in all. We pause and take a final loving note Of friends and soul’s ambitions ere we part, A wordless sense of feeling in the throat, The knowledge of a loss within the heart. William R. LaCroix 6

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to Right: Secretary-Treasurer—Natalie S. Dwyer President-—Raymond V. Palmegiano Vice-President—James F. Mullen, Jr. The Class of “46 takes particular pride in presenting- its class officers under whose leader¬ ship and excellent directing, successfully completed its High School career. President Raymond Palmegiano: — Better known as “Punchy” to all, was not only President of his class but also was the first boy ever to become a four-letter man in both his Junior-Senior year. He also had the honor of being captain of the football team. Besides showing extraordinary athletic progress, “Punchy” was always there to lend a helping hand to anyone. His cheerful dis¬ position made him a friend to all and his willingness to do school work was evidence of a character that will surely lead to success. Vice-President James Mullen: — “Jim” jovial and humorous was a happy-go-lucky lad with a “hello” for everyone. His practical jokes kept a smile on the faces of his classmates. On the athletic field he was a great asset doing the high jump, dash, and hurdles. Jim we know will go far in whatever he plans to do in later years because of his very nature. Secretary-Treasurer Natalie Dwyer:—We are glad to present this year’s Secretary- Treasurer. A very congenial, vivacious, personality was “Nat” who was voted most popular girl for four years in a row. A very hard worker, efficient and quickly admired, she contributed to the success of this year’s Class Book. To you “Nat”, your personality and sincerity — good luck in the years to come.
