Few had monograms and all now made desperate attempts to gain them. Seventeen men gained places on the heavyweight football team and twenty four in the lightweight roster. The pony basketball team-the Catholic champs claimed many Juniors as did the heavies. The minor sports-Tennis, Golf, Boxing and Swimming, were well supported by us. en of us received that thrill of a lifetime-a mono- In athletics our Junior year was highly suc- Twelve of us were in the Band and Orches- As actors we also did well for we presented nine to a great Dramatic Club. The Art Club Cisca, organizations of no little renown, had , of us as members. Scholastically the third year known to be the most difficult but through the we came victorious, a garrison finish. We realized something and were startled-one year to go-next year seniors-kings. Three years have gone by and under the guidance of the Fathers and by following the Carmel spirit we have become ser- vants to God-to others-and to ourselves. AS SENIORS The last mile-we have been molded and shaped into form and we lack but one thing: the polish. That is the working of our Senior year. We make the most of everything for we now realize that it is but a short time to the finish-our enthusiasm cannot be equalled-the underclassmen realize this and fol- low us. The best Brown and White Football team in four years had eighteen Seniors in its ranks-the Basket- ball Seniors, winner of the St. George pre-season tourney and contenders in the National Loyola tour- nament was proud of the five Seniors that contributed to its success: the Juniors --City Catholic Champs for the second consecutive year had the splendid coop- eration of three of our number. The minor sports, Track, Swimming, Golf, Boxing, Intramural sports all were bolstered by Senior participation. Athlet- ically speaking we could not be excelled. Socials and other affairs were made successes by us. The annual Holiday Dance-Senior sponsored- was a dynamic affair. The Senior Prom promises without a doubt to be Carmelite's greatest dance. It will be the second time in the history of the school that a dance will be held at a country club. The Band had eight Seniors-the Swing Orches- tra, one of the most popular groups at Carmel, saw the efforts of six of us. The Student Council, guid- ing us through troubled water more than once, con- sisted of seven Seniors. Admirable organizations such as the Art Club, Cisca, Chemistry Club, Debating Teams, and the newly founded Camera and Rifle Clube were given splendid backing by the Seniors. We developed the Carmel-Lite, the bi-monthly student publication. into an outstanding paper. Scholastically we achieved the best record of our four years. With the south-west wind comes the spring. High School days at Carmel, the swellest days of a boy's life are slowly drawing to a close. We cooperate in the busy final campaign-we have not forgotten the spirit of Service-it is something that will be with us to the grave. The great work of the Carmelite Fathers is nearly over--time advances a little further-just a few days until graduation-we'll wish we could do it all over again. Graduation night-relatives and friends-the bril- liantly decorated gym-speeches-handshakes-slap- ping the back of some buddy for the last time--some of us will never be together again-except in heaven. Polished now, men of strong character, soldiers of God-graduates of Carmel-a lump in our throats- an unrestrainable tear on our cheeks-and all is-- Done. f25l
