t1Gusnr ujoeyn .ncchatlievn CLHSS Hlilllllll 1946-1947. It was a warm, comfortable day in September of 1946, when ninety-seven young men made their debut on the campus of St. Mary's as Freshmen. At first, we were a lost and frightened group of Freshies. Nostalgia befell a number of us, but since we were a large class, it gradually disappeared. Soon we had our first class meeting with Father Orlik, our classmaster, who immediately gained our love and respect. Our first task was the designing of a class emblem. Father Kubik was our disciplinarian. He organized a number of intramural teams and soon we became class activity conscious. We had a great number of representatives on the Reserve Teams for basketball and track as well as football and baseball. Among our many interesting experiences was our first meeting with the Polish Refugee boys. They be- came our classmates and before long we were fast friends. Soon the school year came to an end. We left St. Mary's in June to enjoy a well deserved summer recess. 1947-1948. The summer months went by quickly and soon we found ourselves once again at St. Mary's. This time we bore much happier features, since now we were all acquainted with one another. A pleasant year boomed ahead of us. We became organized under the able .guidance of our new class- mastet, Father Swastek. We purchased a statue of St. Therese of the Child jesus with the generous con- tributions received from our many friends and rel- atives. It now stands on the Sophomore corridor in the Noah's Ark. Later, we contributed our share towards the purchasing of a new electric scoreboard for the gymnasium. Studies appeared to be more difficult than in the previous year, and we welcomed the summer vacation all the more. 1948-1949. Another summer recess elapsed and we made our third appearance on St. Mary's campus. Our new residence became the College Barracks. Father Swastek was our new disciplinarian and to him we owe many thanks for his fatherly guidance and direction. We were all pleased to see each other and yet dis- appointed, for some of our classmates did not return. The number had diminished to fifty. During the course of the year we purchased class rings with the kind assistance of Father Rozak, our classmaster. We were the first class of St. Mary's High to be privileged to have the new coat of arms appear on our rings. Our intramural teams were strong and well or- ganizedg we were the victors of the Memorial Day Track meet. As a token of admiration and friendship toward the graduating Seniors, we presented a program, Gaudeamus, which brought back fond memories of our exploits together. Another year came to pass. At this time we were mindful of the fact that in a few months we, too, would make our final departure from the campus of St. Mary's. 1949-1950. At the opening of our final high school year. the members of the Class of SO, con- sisting of 43, seemed to be in a very happy mood. Soon after our return a class meeting was called. New officers were elected and the solidarity mani- fested forecasted a happy and successful year. Plans were completed for the class outing, the yearbook, graduation pictures and above all, preparations for the Commencement Exercises. With the cooperation of the Juniors, we purchased a television set, which became the main attraction of our new Club Room. We seemed to encounter a few difficulties in our studies, but such trivialities--Graduation was ahead! ! ! ! Yes, this Graduation Day will indeed remain a memorable one in our lives. As we take final leave of St. Mary's we whisper prayers of thanksgiving for the blessings we have received during the course of our four year stay. We shall always remember St. Mary's and ever be grateful to her for the achieve- ments we may attain in the future. G-abby Ding-Dong Boozer .lefl'Y ,.. 70

'Runt P1ugger Baker Steve Patches ttFidou ..Wa1t., I, Steve, leave my over-frequented room with all its cigarette butts. . I, Snuffy, leave my job as recreation room manager. I, Len, leave my artistic abilities and road maps of Michigan. I, Clinker, leave my cigar bands and butts. I, Walenry, leave my defenses of the City of Chicago and midnight oil. I, West. leave my priceless albums of photos, and sparkling personality. I, joe, leave my famous accounts of Los Angeles. ULHSS A quarter of a century had elapsed since the Class of 1950 said farewell to its Alma Mater. It was im- perative that the long awaited reunion be called at last. It was in the month of December, the third day to be exact, in the year of 1975, that anonymous tele- grams were sent to the members of the Class of 'SQ The messages which they bore did not seem impor- tant, yer, tension tan high. We all were ordered to go to Rome. The members of the class quickly left their tasks, packed their belongings and sailed to the Eternal City. It must be remembered that there was one important factor concerning the excursion: each individual was to go to Rome in complete secrecy. Within two weeks everyone found himself com- fortably lodged in various parts of the city. However, they were perplexed and eager to discover the mystery which drove them there. On the night of the twenty-third swift arrests were made. The police of Rome were traveling through the streets, questioning everyone and guarding various tourist homes and hotels of the city. Crowds of spec- tators gathered about the hotels wherein numerous arrests had been made. The owners of the hotels were in a frenzy, for their guests were being treated rudely. Silent men, foreigners, were led to waiting black sedans. Then, with the shrill cry of the siren, they disappeared far into the night. I, Wee Willie, leave my book How to Lose Ten Pounds in Two Weeks to some stout Junior. I, Stan, leave my memorable brown ties and ancient lamp shades. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the aforementioned Senior Class, in the presence of the following witnesses: E. Z Duzit I. Q. Highlow C. U. Sometimes PHUPHEBU What followed was most bizarre. We were blind- folded and pushed into automobiles. In spite of our protests, charging our captors with a why and where- fore of our arrest, we were driven aimlessly about the ancient streets for approximately two hours. The sedans finally came to a stop. Escorted up a flight of stairs, we were shoved into a pitch black salon. The men we found within were silent and moody. No one bothered to start a conversationg our minds were op- pressed and fearful. It was sheer misery in the room. , .... Everyone sensed an impending disaster, for in those days Communists were curbing all tourist activity. Every so often the steel front door opened and another hapless stranger was thrown into our rmdst. Eventually the back door of the room o ened and someone entered. At once the room was ablaze with blinding lights. Recovering our senses, we began to glance around. All our attention was centered on one person. We surmised that he was a Cardinal. A man of middle age, robust, medium stature, and attired in flowing red robes. A few seconds passed in silent gaz- ing. When he finally spoke, the Cardinal's words were few, but the joy they expressed was boundless. We uttered a cry of amazement and happiness, fling- ing ourselves into each other's arms, for we were classmates of gone-by days. The joy we exhibited was sincere. The man who addressed us was none other than Archbishop Jerome Tychulski, Apostolic Dele- gate to the United States, and now a visitor in Rome. uLou-ies: uDicku ttAln NG-enen 72 1 sf S 3 K if s S
