Boys of Class of 1953 in the Armed Forces WYLDER PRESTON BARROWS, JR. JOSEPH B. HOLLIDAY ROBERT LINUS OUELLET RICHARD A. SULLIVAN ik ik ik 73oaH to the JkoyA Here is a toast to the ’53 boys, The cause of our miseries, source of our joys. After four years of acquaintance with you, Warm friendships are still refreshingly new. In our class we have boys of every brand; Knowing them so well has been really grand. There is the big brain with the high IQ, And the average plugger, like me and you. In the field of play, our boys stand out true; No opponent can best the White and Blue. You’re made of the stuff that comes out on top; Once you start fighting, you never cry stop. Musicians, debators, lords over all, Whatever the need, you’re there at the call. With each small service, you help pay the debt Owed to our school, and we’ll never forget. Leaves bid good-bye to the trees in the fall; So we say farewell to you, one and all. Your memories, so dear, are with us to stay, Although years will pass and footsteps may stray. Each boy in the class bears a shining light; May his deeds in the future glitter bright, ‘Though the voice of fate lead him far and wide, Away from the home where we now reside. But banish all gloom, this bright pleasant day; Wish the boys well as they start on their way; Hope for happiness on life’s busy street. God speed the time when we shall again meet! SANDRA HAIGH

Then we did not know whether the life that lay ahead of us would be filled with the warm smiles of bene¬ volent fortune, or made difficult by capricious tricks of fate. Time, however, brought a com bination of both, because there were blissful happenings as well as sobering ones. Whenever we were jovial, enthus¬ ed, or in a high state of exuberance, those particular occasions seemed bigger, better, and more wonderful than we could have otherwise imagined in our most fanciful dreams, because the girls were with us. Just their presence gave everything a brighter hue, making our surroundings resplendent with-their grace and charm. Remember those times when everything went against us? We were down and out, and had seemingly reached the nadir of despair. In such instances, we really learned to appreciate the girls. Their proximity gave us comfort and also the strength to go on. Their sympathetic words, their understanding, and their comforting ways were like a haven in a tempest. Now let us acknowledge our heart¬ felt gratitude to the girls by saying thank you. Thanks for your loyalty; thanks for your understanding; thanks for your support; thanks for all you have done; thanks for what you have meant to us! JAMES S. MARCHESE
