That the class of '39 has been one of accomplishment, is brought out in a resume of our years in O'Dea. Al- ways a class for setting precedent, we came to the front in our Junior year to be the first Junior class of 0'Dea to sponsor a dance. In athletics, as well as in other activities, We played a prominent role, placing many Juniors on the football, basketball, and base- ball squads. As one year does inevitably follow another, We found ourselves occupying the exalted position of the Senior Class. Our first act as Seniors was to select our class ofiicers who would also serve in the student government of the school. For the all important position of student body president, we chose Kirby Torrance, an officer who had served as class president in the Sophomore year, and again in the Junior year. Richard Harris was chosen vice-president: Bob Miller, treasurer: and Jim Garvin, secretary. These officers gave O'Dea an able administration in the student government. O'Dea's athletics again gained prominence in '39, Not because they won or lost, but because of their traditional, Fighting Irish spirit. Senior clubs and activities flourished this year. The most successful skating party ever sponsored in O'Dea was the product of this class. The Senior debate team completed a creditable season and reached the quarter-finals of the State Championship Tourney. The school paper, under our term of publication. reached a new high in perfection, and our final gesture, the Olympian, has set a standard to be aspired to by future classes. Our years in O'Dea have drawn to a close. Our learning here has been finished, and our small, but sincere, contributions to O'Dea have been given. As a class we feel that we can never adequately express our thanks to the Christian Brothers of Ireland for all that they have done for us. As individuals, we are eternally grateful to them for the years they have given to mold our characters, both for our place in the world, and for our final destiny. Our cry now is, Vale, but forever we shall cherish the memory of O'Dea in our hearts. l l

WASHINGTON BELOVED Thy name, Oh Washington renowned, We hail, we hail from far and near, Thy glories joyfully resound, In song of praise and mighty cheer. Thy fame, Oh Washington serene, Leads on, leads on up to'rd the sky, While we through every changing scene Thy purple pennants lift on high. Thy deeds, Oh Washi'ngton benign, Will last, will last as hills of stone, While we like ore the fires refine, Will ring forth praise to thee alone. Thy sons, Oh Washington beloved, Lift up, lift up their heads in pride, By whatsoever sea removed, To thee, their lives in love are tied. EDMUND S. MEANY Mountain Camp Fires 1
