Rockett I J 0 'N S0pllll0lIlIll0lI'fB CVHCW We take considerable pride in the fact that two of our boys made the Hrst team in Bas- J ketball and that we also have two players on the second team. In the School Basketball Con- C ference, the Sophomores came out on top, after beating the Freshmen, Juniors, and Seniors. H Among us is a group of first class orators and actors, as evidenced by the enacting of The Merchant of Venice , the class debates, and the many other occasions provided by the class and school programs. Besides these there are writers and poets who supply the Lourdes X Fountain with abundant resources. i N '1 VVe have all had a pleasant year, and we hope we may all return full of pep and vigor, tl ready to take upon ourselves the duties and honors of worthy Juniors. In parting, we wish to offer a vote of thanks to our reverend instructor, Father Tulley. ,I and to our teachers for their interest and efforts in our behalf. May each member of the 0 class live up to the ideals they have placed before ns. , M.xRCiar.L.x GUIMOND, '31. GEORGE BHHNKE, '3l. 1 . O i 'H ,I U 1 If V N X I s f A f f r--.

Thiele S4IDlpJlillCOlIlIll0lI 4B CBVTLCBWV On September fourth, the now grown-up Ereshies, sedate and dignified, proudly walked into the Sophomore room. Of course, we all smiled a little, sighed a little, as we passed the New Freshie-s in the hall. Everything was new again, wc even had a new teacher. Caesar, Algebra II, French II, History H, and English ll were examined rather gingerly that First day. After a few weeks we got into the routine of our work and time moved along swiftly. The worst bugbears were Algebra and Latin,-Algebra with its t'xyz's and Latin with its do's and dares . History and its dates was a horror to many, but French with its Monsieur Perrichonn was a joy for all Cexcept when test time camel. English with its contracts and readings was a joy to some and a grief to others. ln November the Sophomores were admitted into the Saint Thomas Aquinas Club and the Saint Catherine Literary Club. This is the greatest privilege the school can bestow upon a Sophomore, and we all appreciated it. Our hearts beat loudly as we were solemnly initiated into the Clubs. Later several members of our class were enrolled in the Glee Clubs. The class also has five members on the Orchestra roster, Edmond Breault being one of the most versatile players, occasionally entertaining us by performing on the guitar and mouth- organ at the same time.

Although it was Sunday evening, just a small light was seen in the servants' quarters in the rear part of the house. It was the home of the Browns, the wealthiest people in the city. They had been Catholics at one time, but after Mr. Brown had obtained the position of president in a large firm in that city, they had gradually drifted away from the Church, and now their faith was least of all things in their thoughts. ln a bedroom upstairs, two little children were in their beds. Billy, a boy of eight, and his little sister, Sue, six. They were alone, for a short time before mother had kissed them goodnight. She was, of course, at a party. Father was, as usual, at his club. So they were quite alone and could talk as long and as loud as they wished. Billy, who ws an unusually bright boy for his age, was trying his utmost to explain to Sue the story which little Tommy O'Brien, the gardener's twleve-year-old son, who lived in the little cottage on the Brown estate, had told them that morning, after he had come home from Mass at the nearby Catholic Church, where he had gone with his staunch Irish parents. Tommy thought it was very queer that Billy and Sue lcnew nothing of the Child Jesus, His holy Mother Mary, and Saint Joseph, so as he had the opportunity that morning he told them in his childish fashion the story of the birth of the Infant Jesus in the city of Bethlehem. Suddenly, after they had remained quiet for about five minutes, Sue said: I think I'll bring Him my doll and you can bring Him your wooly bear. Tommy said He lives in the Church,-in Tommy's church. You can't, don't be silly, said Billy, for He lives behind a small locked door. But, Billy, He'1l open the door for us if He knows 'we are bringing Him something to play with. Tommy said He would. I'm going to ask Him why our mother and father don't take us to church like Tommy's do. Maybe He won't open the door for us. Oh, you are afraid, said Sue. Yon daren't. 'I dare, too, said Billy. Then let's l said Sue. You can help dress me and I'll help you. There was no one in the front hall when the children went downstairs. So hand in hand they went down the front sidewalk and were nearly three blocks 'from home before anyone passed. It was a clear pleasant night and not very cold, but as it grew darker along the way, Sue hung on to Billy's arm more tightly. When they were a block from the Church, a policeman on his beat said to them, You two better hurry along home. Before he had a chance to ask their names, they had disappeared. Upon reaching the church which they knew was Tommy's church, as they called it, Sue said, 'fBilly, you are the oldest. You go in first and see if the little door is locked. .... Where were the children? The maids ran from one room to another, from basement to attic, but they were nowhere to be found. Their absence was discovered when Nancie, their governess, went to their room to see if they were properly covered. Mr. and Mrs. Brown were frantic when phoned for, they feared they had been kidnapped. Soon in all parts of the great city, telephones and radios were telling the news of the two lost children. Mr. and Mrs. Brown searched all parts of the city, but at last they gave up and returned home. When they reached home a message awaited them saying that an old lady had seen two children in the Catholic Church at about eight o'clock that evening. The parents hurried to the church, aroused the sexton, and told him their story. Neither one wished to enter the church, but for the sake of finding their children, they did. They were too suprised to say a word, for at the foot of the altar lay Billy and Sue, sleeping, but holding tight in their arms the wooly bear and doll. After being awakened, Billy said, We came here to see the Child Jesus. Tommy told us He lives behind that little door. We rapped but He did not come, so we sat down here to wait for Him. I dared Billy to come and bring Him: our woolly bear and doll, confessed Sue. A twinge of pain touched their parents' hearts and a lump rose in their throats. After bringing Billy and Sue home and putting them to bed, Mr. and Mrs. Brown talked the incident over. They said it was the Child Jesus Who inspired Tommy O'Brien to tell the children the story of His birth, and that it was He VVho encouraged Billy and Sue to seek Him. They resolved to live up to their faith and henceforth to be fervent Catholics. Mr. O'Brien was given a better position, but he was not told the reason why until later, and he lwas overjoyed to think that his son at so early an age was bringing lost sheep to the true fold.
