SENIOR HISTORY Our hearts are heavy for soon we will no longer be men of Carmel-four years have passed and we now look back on the best days of our lives-those at Mt. Carmel. High School was a different world than that which we had known. At Carmel it was service that existed. a service between school and boy -between boy and school-between boy and boy. AS FRESHMEN We became acquainted with various fellows who were to become our friends for four years and perhaps a lifetime. With these fellows we entered into the spirit of High School life-our studies and extra cur- ricular activities. Six of our number gained berths on a great lightweight football squad-the heavy- weight basketball team took one of us-the light- weights another-four were taken on the track team -a new organization in Carmel sports, the boxing team, was greeted by fifteen of us. In scholastic activity after weary toiling many of us gained honor cards. Ten of us became .members of the band. The orchestra took two-the spirit of Catholicism enlisted all of us. And so we began on a trail of happiness-a path that takes four years to traverse-and a lifetime to forget. AS SOPHOMORES Back at school again-this time a little older and a little wiser-sophisticated Sophomores. Another year begins and with it the Carmel spirit of Service- inspired by this We entered a little more into the activities of the school. A few of us attended a social or a dance occasion- ally. We began to realize the intrinsic value of our studies and won even more honor-cards than we did as Freshmen. Athletically we too became more inter- ested-three of us were already in the Monogram club-three others gained their letters for their splen- did work on the heavyweight football team-seven- teen were on the lightweight team-five made the track team-six were on the swimming team-three were on the heavyweight basketball team and two on the ponies-we contributed nine to the boxing and wrestling teams and nine were members of the band. Intramural sports gave impetus to the wheels of ath- letics at Carmel. We were well represented in the Senior and Junior Literary and Debating societies which gave oratorical honors to the school. Seven of us were in the dramatic club presentation Shannons of Broadway. l24l I-Ialf of the trail has been covered. We now leave the youthful stage of our careers and cross a threshold -one that leads us into a maturity-consisting of thought, ideals and visions of the future. We grasp a better hold upon our studies and realize we have friends even more valuable than our classmates-the Carmelite Fathers: their advice is as solid as their loyalty is unwavering. Service has become a part of us and Catholicity is stamped on our souls. Progress was characteristic of our Sophomore Class. AS JUNIORS Juniors! In the upper half of our class and it seems like yesterday that all the things familiar to us now left us in open mouthed wonder. The progress of time is unstoppable and so it seemed was the progress made by us as Juniors. We entered the year possessing a feeling of confidence- a feeling instilled by the first two yearsgone that made us try to accomplish things and to help others while doing it-a feeling called service.
