It has heen said that it is eas - to live in the dream of tomorrow but hard to li e in the reality of today. That is true only to a certain extent. Actually we are living in tomorrow. Our present life is largeh ' an indication of our future. Oh, we are not determined, by an - means, h - our current standards. We are able to change through our own volition, for better or worse. Will we be the better men and women for future times? Being hero-worshippers, e all look up to some person particularl skillful in a special held. In this Catholic school we have had placed before us such an ideal — the One Who is Master not only of one job but of all things — Christ Himself.

Administration Mr. Kenneth W ' ucrl, Mr . John B. Lorenz, Father N ' ernon J. Kiichti Every society needs some type of authority in order to keep thinjis flowin; smoothly. These leaders must by their e.xample in ire the other members of that organization to better things. Our faculty has been such an inspiration: our Messmer Fathers, the School Sisters of Notre Dame, the parish priests, and the lay people on our faculty have given us the e.xample of a life of devoted service to us. Catholic youth. 1 he CHI-RHO , the guiding light in their lives, has shown us the success and happiness which comes to those who follow Christ faithfully. We observed them and hope our lives turn out as well. The Most Reverend ALBERT GREGORY MEYER, S.T.D. Archbishop of Milwaukee The Most Reverend ROMAN R. ATKIELSKI, D.D. Auxiliary Bishop of Milwaukee Titular Bishop of Stobi Reverend VERNON J. KUEHN Principal, Counselor Bishop Francis C. Kelly once wrote: If the future could call hack its need to the present, the word used would he ' discipline ' . It would ask the present to study what the word im- plies and put the stuck into action. A student ' s idea of discipline centers on correction and punishment, an imposition from without. Adulthood demands personal control, self-discipline. This is the hahit of accepting; a specific set of values, of deciding that these values must be achieved, and of translating them into daily living. Your years at Messmer have given ou knowledge erf literature, mathematics, histor , art, science, commercial subjects. Hut with it you have received the religious and moral standards upon which self-discipline can be built. These standards are the doctrines and commandments of the greatest teacher, Jesus Christ. All the knowledge ou have acquired will he of little value for future happiness unless its use is guided by the sound religious principles which have been made a part of your education. When you have learned the meaning of discipline you have the kev to Christian living. Only a disciplined future can be a great future. BOARD OF DIRECTORS Ri}:ht Rrvrrend Monsi nor GEORCiE A.

JAMES VOGEL 16 Stephen Bodoviiiac, Beverly l)e Quardo We have learned, but we have not learned all. There is such a vast expanse of knowl- edge which we will never cover that trying to learn might be disheartening. Since despair has no place in a tomorrow full of hope, our thirst for knowledge should be as insatiable as the well of unknown facts is unfatl )mable. How we have fulfilled our vocation as students indicates how we will probably be tomorrow. We must not let ourselves remain small and old-fashioned but must grow, be modern as every future time. The equilibrium we must maintain will be given the weight of the CHl-RUU we bear into the world. 17 iVe met the newcomers dt n assembly and INITIATION This year ' s freshmen and new- comers in the sophomore division got an unexpected and, for some of them, unwanted introduction to the school in a special assembly. The first part of the program was devoted to bring- ing clubs and organizations into the neophytes ' view. The next part was much less comfortable for a few who were called out of the audience quiz- show-fashion to participate in zany stunts dreamed up by seniors. Dick Boorse got some help collecting pen- nies for my education from Sharon Sharlein, Kay Kipp, and Jud ' Hig- gins. No, Dick did not keep the pro- ceeds. The tidy little sum went to the student council. FRESHMEN— 213 Sister M. Barbara LEFT. Fruni: S. .Ackeret. R. Hanr.ihan, K. K.nsile. MiJdlr: ]. Heja, J. Zukowski, J. Kichstedt. J. Diiieen, J.

Questions of this kind were common- place in freshman algebra class. Mathematics hich uses symbols as well as numerical integers is always ania .inj: to a new crop of students. Some, like those pictured here, learned a little faster than others and were very proud and easier to talk over their new-found knowlcdf e.

Kathleen Conwell, Donna Reichlin;:, Joanne Kolasinski are standing over June (jromowski, Janet Puarieau, and Carol Landkowski. As members of the Li- brary- Club, they could practice that beautiful quality of service to others — as a preparation, no doubt, for future jobs. RecoKnize them ? How could you miss them in their familiar surround- in is? Of course, they ' re the student librarians who helped you so often during study periods and after school. The - belonged to the Library Club, too. At the end of the year, major awards looked ood to (standing) Janet Trutwin, Franklin Berna, Ger- aldine Schmitt, Mary Wetzel; {be- low) Joanne Kucharik, Judy Hein- ritz, Mary Kllen Peterson, and Dennis Hraunreiter.

Tales of Ro- man emperors, of the travels of heroes of m th anil legend were a part of the lant;uaj;e course. While first-year stu- dents strut;tjled with declensions and rules of Kt ' immar mixed with an oc- casional story, fourth-year students Kdith Hoffmann, Joanne Lotz, Charles Becker, and Kathleen (lensler studied some Roman history and geofjraphy as well as ecclesiastical Latin.

France ' s Kifel Tower is so renowned. Jim Stein showed Kdward Fi ' onsee, Judy Belot, and Mary Jean Collins a folder from the famous place. They saw it in their dreams and hoped some da) ' to see it in person. Germany, land of i t ' inutlichkeil , of song and legend, of steins of golden brew and beautiful fniultiiis, was the subject of many discussions for stu- dents of the language. Mary Ann Weis and Uale Lagerman agreed that the old German music played by Dick Haviland on the string bass and Mike Olson on the accordion added much to monthly meetings held as part of the class program.

Messmer inay some day contribute a genius to keep the cycle moving. Every day art class brought a new opportunity to study the tech- niques of the great masters. Fascinated, perhaps, by Ron Wilson ' s left-handed execution, art students June Dakins, Charles Kaiser, Grace Hannon, and K.itherine (jarson learned the finer points of this fine art and knew that their education here would wing them into the heights of design, interior decorating, or commercial art. rrr .?- ( LEFT.

This is not entirely true, though, because book- keeping is not only the actual work; it entails the reasons behind the many figures, the ivliy in business. On the home level, the problem of income tax is one studied in class. Coming as it did in the third quarter, with income tax in the offing, this phase of book- keeping was analyzed by the officers of the Order of Business hfficiency. Jerry Perry, Barbara Cummings, Bill Ihompson, and Doris Etten examined a giant copy of the familiar Form 1040. Projects like this brought the seniors ' tomorrow into sharp focus and at the same time reminded the sophomores of things to come. SOPHOMORES — 318 Sister M. Roberta LEFT. Front: J. Landerman, P.

As Catholics we know just how essential it is. The world is a secular one, unaware of so many supernatural realities. Rampant materialism spells only one thinjj: for a Catholic — danger. Catholic principles are not the principles of materialistic, often atheistic, theorists; consequently, a Catholic is placed in many situations in which he is made to feel uneasy even thouj h he is in the right. If a person does not hecome a slave to human respect he is safe. FoUowinfi the ideals placed before us in school now is a preparation for the long game of life which is our tomorrow. 31 Once a week m united in the Mass Sacrifice; FRIDAY MASS An appropriate bctiinnin ; for ati day and a (ittinj: start for this section is the story of the Mass at Messmer. We were very fortunate to have a Mass for students every morninn at 7 :45. The entire student bod joined in this same corporate worship weekly at two Masses — one in the auditor- ium, the other in the gym — said simultaneously each Friday. To offer the Holy Sacrifice and to receive Com- mimion with classmates gave us a sense of true brotherhood in Christ. We prayed that all of us would stay close to God tomorrow and always.

RETREAT Times were busy, filled with work and fun, but in all this cxcitcnifiit there had to be some time to think. Two days were set aside for freshmen and sophomores, and two days for juniors and seniors, for serious work: just to keep quiet and meditate. Re- treat, an opportunity to renew a most important acquaintance, the one with ourselves, throuj h the grace of God, took us into the realm of spiritual reality. What am I doinf: here? How- am I doin ; what I should be doinji? These questions demanded answers. For a little personal help Tony Sto- eveken, Joyce Majewski, Ifigie Hal- istrieri, and Mavis Podkomaris went to Father Richard Madden, the Re- treat Master. JUNIORS— 111 Sister M.

CATHOLIC STUDENTS ' MISSION CRUSADE 1 lie missions are a very important pait (it the Church. The word Catholic means that our Church is universal, not limited to any special fjroup, hut rather desirinj; to enfold all. Our prayers and the donations w made weekly were a jjreat help to the spiritually underprivileged throughout the world. There was need for help in our own city, too. So at Christmas time, home- rooms filled haskets and sent them to needy families. Joanne Hafran and Tony Stoeveken looked over the cheer- ful baskets and felt that their Messiner classmates really had the spirit. LEFT. Frnni: R. Stanzek. S. Simasko. C. Moiling. Middle: M. .• .

Quite :i thorough study of this symbolism is made in the junior year under the title of liturgy. How- ever, this is far from all that liturjjy comprises. The ceremonies, vestments, and sacramentals of the Church al.so are incorporated in the study. It was surprising to those who had taken this course just how useful it w;ls. Donna Mielke, Fred Middendorf, Philip Ro- tar, and Margaret Walker learned that even this class had its practical aspect in the home : the place and use of holy water, blessed pa lm (made up into little wreaths), and table napkins designed with a liturgical symbol. ifS 36 JUNIORS — 206 Sister M.

THE SEASON The Bishops in this year ' s pre-season pollings were not ranked very high because of the small number of veterans on the team. The first game, a 19-14 loss to Cathedral, showed pretty well the predicted team. The surprise came in the next game when the Blue Wave surged and swelled to sink Notre Dame 26-6. Traditional rivalry with ALirquette proved a powerful incentive for the boys as the went on to victory in that big one, 13-0. The standings at that time must have amazed the forecasters. The Bishops, relegated to the second division tied for second place. High hopes and great esprit de corps were not enough to beat powerful Bosco, however. A deep, hard-fighting team, the Dons were too much for the Messmer eleven and won 24-0. The Homecoming game was a surprising one for the Bishops. Stunned by an early I ' ius attack, the home team didn ' t recover until the fourth quarter, scoring two touch- downs but losing 25-12. Saint Catherine ' s proved why they finished alone in first place in the Catholic Con- ference, handing Messmer its fourth defeat 34-7. The season ended happily for the Bishops when they wiped out Memorial 13-0. 45 K(i Huchenthal arrived too late to help Dick Leisinjz who was already downed b Waukesha Memorial Crusaders. i W ally Wiske faked out one Marquette tackier, but another seemed to have his number.

In pre-season contests with city high schools, the Bishops were not too successful, winning only one out of three games, defeating Riverside 66-53. When the regular schedule of games began, the inexperience of the largely underclass team showed. A few solid losses to Marquette and Notre Dame showed the team its Haws; the next games with Cathedral and Memorial were closer but lost in the linal moments of pla -. ' A ten-point loss to Pius was brightened a bit by a 68-60 victory over our alumni in December. Led by W ayne Jelinski and Bruce Wienke with 20 points each, the Blue Wave was not quite enough to over- come first-place Bosco, losing 72-6S. After a season of hard play, the team found a bright spot in their sched- ule, defeating Memorial 64-54. This triumph gave the Bishops one victory against fifteen defeats in confer- ence play and an overall record of three wins and nine- teen losses.

Pictured doing the iMess- mer Locniniitive were: (front) Joan Gryboski, Joan IVLangen, IVLiry Ann Wilson, Maureen MuUins, and Len Eschweiler; (middle) Ron Bublitz, Jackie Krueger, Doris Kozik, and Carl Garson ; (back) Jeanne Jung, Mary Ann Strigenz, ' irginia Heinierl, and Paul Scobe -. 52 Girls competed vigorously in their own sports program. BOWLING CHAMPS For about three months in the hue fall, many Messmer bowling teams played at Strachota ' s or at the Capitol Paladium. Intramural competition was keen, and the above team of seniors met a junior {iroup for the final play-off. The winners were (front) Eleanor Breuer and Margie Lund ; (hack) Jo ce Majewski, Caroline Hahn, and Mavis Podkomaris. The girls admitted that while they may acquire skill and control in this game, its main attrac- tion lies in the fact that it is an after- school get-together — a time to meet friends and talk, and talk, and talk. SENIOR LEADERS Gym-pool duties were the round for all senior leaders. Taking roll call, of course, was a major event in every class. Referee jobs were plentiful because there always seemed to be a game of basketball, volley- ball, or indoor baseball in progress. Most of these girls are lifeguards, so the young- sters among Messmer ' s lassies never had to fear going down the drain. You see in the rou- nearest the camera: Judy Firer, Eleanor Breuer, P ' ileen Rowles, Diane Rol- ling, Barbara Cummings; at the steps, first roiv: Joanne Schilling, Marge Schaefer, Kathy O ' Dwyer; second row: Josephine Heister, Sharon Kelnhofer, Kathleen Ko- sanke ; thir d row: Jeannine Nowak, Carole Buchen, Sheila Sworske. GIRLS ' PHYSICAL EDUCATION GIRLS ' COACH riiis was Miss Beatrice Flegiel ' s first year at Messmer. Miss Flegiel attended Wiscon- sin State College, the Univer- sity of Wisconsin, and Mar- quette University, finishing with a major in biology and general science. Her practice teaching was done at River- side High. The new teacher brought with her new ideas, many of which we hope will set a precedent at Messmer. 53 BASKETBALL Here is one of the favorite pastimes of the girls in inter-group competition. Basketball provided much opportunity for a keen, fast game — so much, in fact, that more than enough girls often made up a team, as the accompanying picture shows. A tournament within each class level and a final pla -off de- termined the school champs, which meant, of course, more points toward those coveted major letters. DRILL TEAM The newest of the girls ' phy ed in- terests was the drill team, organized by Miss Flegiel in December, 1955. Practice twice a week before school had as its goal to perform at all sports events and take part in inter-school competitive drill work. Five months ' work proved that the group was con- scious of (and was thoroughly enjoy- ing) the marching precision and per- fect formations. Miss Flegiel ' s ex- perience as Second Lieutenant Drill Master in the Navy helped the com- mands Listen to the cadence, Get in step, Faster, snappier produce interest- ing and e.xcellent results. ABOVE : THE TEAM First row: S. Piaskowski, M. Scherer, J. Kucharik, R. Herman, A. Yogerst, C. Schwartz, H. Bilodeau. Middle row: B. Schuppie, N. Lorge, P. Brown, M. Gilson, J. Sauve, M. Schommer, J.

And there she was — still on the Hoor, while Mary Sworske and Marilyn De Hoth were off to a good start. CALISTHENICS Left, swing! Right, swing! A-left, swing! A-right, swing! Done fifteen or twenty times in succession, this exercise was guaranteed to be better than any low- calory diet. Rhythm and gracefulness, the girls found, begin in just such humble exer- cises. (Can ou find the girl who was out of step ?) I VOLLEY BAI L CHAMPS Captain Marlene Herman pointed to the lucky ball that carried this team (all seniors, except for one junior) to the top of the list. Eight teams played for three weeks in intramural competition. No doubt this team ' s previous experience and all- ' round athletic en- thusiasm all but guaranteed a winning game of 21-6 with their final competitors. The winners were: (front): Marge Schaefer (with the ball), Pat Olds, Joanne Schilling, Marlene Herman, Arlene Dierbeck (the junior): back: Janet Puarieua, Eileen Malphy, Toanne Lotz, Kathleen O ' Dwver, and Claudette Holland. 55 I WATKR BALLET Tlic four nirls pictured here — Sharon Keln- hofer, Kathy O ' Dwyer, IVIarfje Schaefer, and Sandra Dunn — planned the formations. Peter Burke, Bill Hammond, John Medinfier, and Ronald Bublitz (all shown in the background) helpeti execute the arious numbers. ■ One of the simplest but most effective pat- terns was the flower design. Don ' t you at ' if that the eight planner-performers did look petals of a large blossom ? Other numbers in the exhibition of precision swimming were: the Medics (two boys and two girls in white suits) ; Take Care (eight girls in black) ; Aiitunni Leaves (two girls in blue). : TENNIS Just before the tennis season got going, Donna Reichling showed some of the girls the correct way to grip the racket. Her interested proteges included (front) Betty IVIcGovern, Judy Higgins, Kay Kipp, Gene Autry, and Jacqueline Krueger; (hark) Pat Dettman, Ruth Hart ig, . Lirilyn Arndt, and Sandra Krause. No tournament of any kind was held in this sport, but many of the girls favored tennis for good summer exercise and brushed up on techniques before leaving school. • 56 Mario Carini. Kathleen Gen ler, Al Staral, Martha Inderwood, Mary Sleva By making sure that there is ample upportunitx for kno vin ; classmates, Messmer does a real favor for its students. Dances are held periodical!) ; plays come in both semesters; a concert by band and chorus takes place in sprinj ; school publications operate all year; and many smaller activities occur throuf hout the year to ive Messmerites a chance to get out and have fun in group work. Fortunate the students who not only plunged into the actual work behind all school activities but also ex- perienced the thrill of their growing talents and abilities. They had truly kept the CIU-RUO in their line of vision. 57 Young journalists captured every mood of the school as the months passed FOURSQUARE 1 () lirin;; niniitliK news ot cvfi) scliolastic and social event in school as «ell as ever ' other hit of news oi interest to a Messnieritc was the joh of the ■ iiiirs ' iuiif staff.

CHORUS Kvcry Frida the siiiKinfi voices lu ' ard at Mass were those of Mess- iiut ' s choristers. Hcsides this small lliou h important function, the cho- 1 us san for the December Home and School meeting;, went on a carolinji tiip to hospitals and old folks ' homes, i ' art of the fjroup experienced the thiill of sin jin on television. Spring, of course, brought the annual concert in conjunction with the band. CLASS SCKNE Fehruar ' brought t cnt additumal boys into chorus, so the class moved to the stage in the auditorium. -A discussion .ibout the music brought a response like that shown above. Riijhl. This is the other half of the group that sang on WX1X-T ' . One group am the accompanist are pictured on page . Never to be forgotten was this first tele- vision show of the .Messmcr chorus. Left Bflmc. Just before the carolling tour began, John Kotlewski, Allan Haushalter, Joan Briske, Celine Neider, Uick Krueger, and Theresc Donajkowski did a bit of harmonizing in front of the Christmas tree. Ritjht Bclmt.-. Willing, faithfvil, sacrific- ing service is the keyword of the organist- accompanists. Junior Mary Jeanne Kinne Sfnior Klaine Nadolny, and Sophnmriri- Doris Jean Ko .ik are pictured at the organ in St. Thomas More Chapel. 61 Members of special service groups gave extra hours to help others; USHERS An entirely different kind of service club, the ushers ' organization worked hard at their job. Maybe you don ' t recof nize them in their regular school clothes, but these are the same suave gentlemen who sold tickets at the door and directed seating in general. es, you saw them often at the nian school functions in the auditorium, keeping order, distributing progr.ims, and generally being of service. Check- ing over assignments for On Barron ' fd Time were Dennis Leyer, Cjene Sei- fert, Charles Posnanski, John Med- inger, Richard Hahr, Robert Doerfler, Charles Beck, and Quintin Zingslieim. BRAILLE CLUBS Those who have lost that precious gift, the gift of sight, neces aril have to depend on nian generous people for assistance. The girls at the left lia e come to appreciate the position of the sightless by visiting them at a school in Janes ille.

Besides making greeting cards and religious cards for the blind, this club at the left actually got to know the people for whom they were working. After taking a trip to a home for blind children, a few of the girls made some good friends. Through the year they brailled letters to the children. The girls pictured here ha e ileserved spe- cial mention for their faithful work for the blind: (hack) Be erly Haecker, Ann Dickau, Joan Beaudoin, Mary Regan, Nanc Waters, Shirle ' Schaef- er, Mary Bartolone, Janet Lchninger; (friint) Nancy Conte, Kath - Taylor, Donna Siefert, Rosemarx er Knilen.

They entered na- tional and local photographic contests and Mark Scohey came away with a National Hij h School Photographic Award. Their excellent work for the I- oil r.u II a re merited special attention and a superior ratinji for photography in the first semester. For a special pic- ture of their own, Mark Scobcy fo- cused on Dick Rappl, Hill Kuehl, Charles Mollinj:, Tom Reis, and Dave Wimmer. M - r STAGE CREW l i htin the stage, moving; properties, drop- ping scenery, tending to the million details in- -olved in all t pes of productions had to be done by someone. The stage crew was this someone. Periodic duties came up with pla s and concerts. Weekh, though, the stage was prepared and lights and mikes adjusted by the crew for Friday Mass. Against the autographed backstage wall, Allen Haushalter (holding the light) amused the rest of the crew: ' ic Noe, Larr - Sallmann, Art Gartzke, and Dick Smith. DRAMA CLUB Do ou remember the tree which was a main prop in On Borrmved Time? No, these four didn ' t grow it, but gi ' ing it leaves was one of their jobs. The Drama Club also helped with some of the other very effective proper- ties of the play. Members participated in the Wisconsin High School Forensic Association League Contest held in our auditorium. Allen Haushalter seemed a little surprised but Brcnda Tuck and John Koehler only pleasantly inter- ested in the prograin for a future meet- ing drawn up by Liebert Cjagliano. Thespians needed a variety of expression and unusual acting abilities ALL-SCHOOL PLAY November 26-27-28, 1955 Mrs. McThing In a ir!il of fantasy, half romantic and I half hard-boiled, a witch ' s little fjirl found a boy plajmate in a mansion.

SOCIOLOGY CLASS The years before our senior year brouLiht with them courses which trained us tor a fjreat variety of thinfrs. This vear, because all of us had to Irani to live, we took an unusual but extremely practical course in livinjj;. The life we as Catholics must lead, we found out, must include an under- standing of many principles. The diiinity of man, the functions and limitations of and the necessity for social institutions like the Church, the State, private property ownership, etc., had to be learned so that right convic- tions and correct practices would be- come a part of our daily living. Mary Long, Walter Liberick, and Bob Schiessl used a labor newspaper and their text to compare views on a cur- rent problem. CAROLE BUCHEN .V(. Michael Honor Roll 2; Homeroom President 2; C.S.M.C.

ENGLISH CLUB The profitable spending; of our leisure time is one of the great problems facinji us today — a problem that will be inherent in the tomorrow of fewer and fewer workinf; hours. The first answer many would think of would be sports. After thoujihtful examination, thoufih, we can see that it cannot be the complete answer for, as human beings, we must develop more than our bodies. To develop our cultural in- terests, therefore, we joined clubs such as the Canterbury English Club . Our improvement became a matter of course with Cinerama Holiday in Chicago and tours of the Milwaukee Journal and Cardijn Center.

Some of our fjirls like Ruth Hartwi;;, Jackie F.bcrt, and Honita Key, fore- seeing this unwclcoTiie condition, have inade up their minds not to let it hap- pen to them. The K ' rls took a course in foods and jrencral home economics here at Messmer, and the three of them have decided to act a college defjree in that same line. Some day, no doubt, they will be happy that they practiced the domestic arts early in life. RICHARD HEBERT Si.

SENIOR STENOGRAPHY The case of the career woman has been a moot question for the last few decades. To work or not to work out- side the home is the topic of many arfjuments, but for a while, at least, many girls have to work. Messmcr ' s secretarial course has prepared many a girl to fill a position in the business world. While Marilyn Holzem and Carol Sdim checked over their short- hand dictation, Nancy Lohry and .Mary Wilson watched Joanne Land demonstrate proper secretarial skills at the typewriter. -.learned the skills of business. 77 JOHN KOTLKWSKI AW.

St. Anne SPEECH GLASS As good citizens, we must speak out for our rights. Tomorrow, with its many means of audio-visual communi- cation, will present us with a real opportunity to voice our opinions. Everyone — from the professional man to the worker in a mass-production job — needs the confidence gained in a course in speech. For example, at a union ineeting the man who knows how to say what he has in mind can be the force that keeps the members on the right side of the road. Im- provements that have already been made in the past decade in tape re- cording, a real boon to any speaker, were discovered by Joe Linzmaier, Dirk Sattler, and Doris Chinnock. Writing did not always suffice so. 79 Holy 3, 4; .Int i-ls Minor St. .lijni 1 JOSEPH LINZMAIKR Homeroom PreNidcm 4; Var iey Football Letter; Major Lcllcr; M Club.

Matters like the class gift and the senior dance had to be taken care of by our own class officers. The representatives we chose were Eileen Rowles, secretary, Gene Seifert, president, Steve Zigan, treasurer, and Caroline Hahn (not pictured), vice-president. Tomorrow may see them acting in a similar capac- ity in civic life or as mediators and group representatives in industry, set- tling details with authority. School has laid the groundwork for a variety of later activities. Certainly our offi- cers will find this experience invalu- able in their tomorrow. representatives discussed our problems. 81 RICHARD MOERNER Si. Thomas .I ' uinat Stage Crew 4. MARV ANN MOLINSKI Si.

SENIOR DANCE Memories of friends in school might some day jump back to this, our last dance as the class of 1956. Held in the winter (seasonally and figuratively speaking) of our senior year, this mixer brought us all together and helped us meet those who, for all we know, could be lifetime friends. King Tony Stoeveken and Queen Grace Lewandowski looked at the symbols of their rank for that memorable evening. All too soon our last year was at its midway, and thoughts of tomorrow came crowding in. iVe had fun at our last class dance and 87 tJERALD SIMON Holy .higels Sodality; C.S.M.C.

Actually, this cannot bo called a linish but rather a start. The foundations we ha e laid for ourselves in the ears at iMcssmcr are the framework, the outluic of our future life, ilow we lill it in becomes our personal responsibilit . Mentally, we should be pliahlf, set in a mold, so to say, but not ,is et completel ' fashioned, filled with a thirst for more knowledge. Manilly sln ' inilheneil by years of instruction and, more important, b the reception of the Sacraments, we must be read to meet the challent;es of a secular ()rld. We learned how to train our bodies because we know i ood health will be essential to fulfilling our higher andiitions. Brinjjinjj our talents to light for the enjoyment of others, we discovered, was essential to soeial grozvth. All of these things — mental, moral, physical, and social — built us into what we are now at the end of the year. The end of our school year, though, is the start of our tomorrow. The etui of the stor , therefore, can be written only by Him Who is sxinboli ed in the L ' lll-RHO which guides our path. A valiant gayety lifts our eyes to the Christogram, and we know our rough way will be more smooth and our vision clearer, until we are transfixed b - the crvstalline clarit of Christ Himself. corkim: w riri.. i.
