Inexperienced as we were in our Freshman year, we realized. the necessity for strong foundations in order to achieve our purpose of constructing enduring and beautiful buildings, masterpieces of art and architecture. There was ample time to devote toward this end, for our social position was decidedly insignificantg in fact, we were the objects of superlative disdain. Ac- cordingly, a vast amount of energy and industry was expended in solving the mazes of science, mathematics, and languages unknown to us. With such grave and intricate studies, the need for a recreational outlet was imperativeg just as no building is complete without the perfection of artistic detail. Modesty prompted us to confine the talents of our pupils within the freshman room. Several plays of our own presentation increased our individual pleasures and abilities. How- ever, we were always pleased to participate in the festivals of our lordly upper- classmen, when they were pleased to invite us. The wheels of time moved rapidly, and our foundations were soon finished. We were more than anxious to set up the rafters, for our ambition was to glVC form and beauty to these edifices, to increase their grandeur. The Sophomore year swept up into the full current of school life. The Class of ,29 was represented in the Saint Thomas and Saint Catherine Literary Societies and in the Glee Clubs, three organizations new to the school. One of our class- mates brought us honor by his brilliant work on the Debating Team. The ranks of the basketball squads were swelled by the Sophomores. And the dramatic talent of the class very successfully staged Julius Caesar , which was but a pro- logue to following productions, equally well received. Two years of building had moulded us into experienced architects. There now remained but to cover the framework with massive roofs, and we would be at leisure to add those ariel graces and spiritual decorations which constitute the final point of artistic achievement. The activities of our Junior year afforded ample opportunity. Debating was a prominent factor g three of our members perfected the school team, and other individuals participated in the inter-class debates, as well as in the work of the Debating Society. The class as a whole showed an edifying school spirit by its enthusiastic and close-woven support of the school's organized clubs and social activities. The year closed with a farewell picnic and breakfast given in honor of the Seniors whose places we were ready to take. The last year has seen our final growth. Four of our classmates were the participants in the first inter-scholastic debate in the annals of Lourdes. Six Seniors were proudly presented to the Fountain Staff 5 five Basketball men. all of whom earned' laurels for school, nineteen members to the Glee Clubg and three members to the Orchestra. VVe have accomplished our task. Our stately mansions are not to be de- stroyed by the storms and passions of life. They were carefully built, and now they are ready to stand before the world as monuments dedicated to the service of their fellowmen. ELIZABETH LAUERMAN, 129.
