Reinliart bnphomure ops One of the irksome aspects of appearing in the annual is that we cannot write about ourselves in our own terms and with our own frankness. Tl1e production staff retains certain canons of good taste, call them taboos, if you will, that we must observe. Having successfully played our parts as sophomores, we warmly welcome the freshmen to strive to be worthy successors. At all seasons we have, we think, acted and conducted ourselves as loyal, energetic post-amateurs, and having made of our failures stepping-stones to higher things, we eagerly look forward to our junior year. In our class, Lourdes Little Theatre has lnany fine players for the notable roles of the comedies and tragedies. We have shared in the ups and downs of basketball, skating, baseball, cheer-leading, debates, public speaking, Latin contests, spelling downs, in fact, all work re- quiring solid effort and good sportmanship. There are some feature players among us, but there is a communal feelingg each in his turn plays his minor or trivial role. As a group we may style ourselves able craftsmen who attained that title through diligence, loyalty, and cooperation. We are nineteen in number. Of this happy band, three proved debaters of which Lourdes can be justly proud. Four of us helped to swell the Boys' Clee Club choruses at the various Church services and school programs. Our second basketball team and skating squad claimed two more boys who brought honor to the school by their splendid work in these sports. Last, but not least, the sophomore boys were victorious over the freshmen and juniors in baseball. DONALD RUNNOE, '32. Davin YUENGER, '32. Page thirty-three

Tube lucky snowball It was a cold and bleak December day The dark clouds were seen gathering rapidly and a few flakes were already fluttering in the air It was three thirty in the afternoon The tenth grade boys of St Johns School were restless They had seen the white flakes and they were thinking of the half houii they had yet to stay in school It was impossible to study with thoughts of skating and coasting running through their heads As Jack Bryant looked at the fluffy flakes an idea came to him and taking pencil and paper he wrote Lets surprise the mnth graders tonight after school with a snowball barracade Well hide in the alley back of old Smiths house and when they walk past well smother them with snowballs He handed this to his neighbor who read it and passed it on and the entire class had soon got wind of the message All were enthusiastic and more intent eyes were gazing at the clock than into books After what seemed hours the dismissal bell sounded Once out of the building they rushed to the designated place Arriving here .lack was chosen leader and at once he issued an order for at least five hundred snowballs They had several hundred of the white missiles ready when one lad whispered Here they come Soon a large group of boys was seen leisurely and nonchalantly walking along the side walk never dreaming what was ln store for them a short distance ahead Boys said Jack dont throw a single ball till I command ll As the boys came into view he screamed Fire In obedience a shower of snowballs made the air white and a few of the large boys holding their hands to their noses marched home leaving a crimson trail along behind them Ball after ball whlzzed by when a sudden crash was heard All firing ceased at once and turning around they saw the rear window of Smiths house broken In an instant Jack stood alone It so happened that Mr Smith was the most irritable man in the neighborhood and the lone boy stood bewildered Should he sneak away? No one would ever know that he had broken the window What should he do? His decision was made instantly Walking up to Mr Smith s door he rang the bell He at once broke into a harsh tone saying So you re the scamp that broke my window and you re a Catholic I always knew that nothing good could come from hypocrites At the mention of the words Catholic and hypocrites ,lacks face grew red and he was ready to give an angry answer but checking himself he coolly said Mr. Smith I broke your window and tomorrow morning I will bring you the money. How much will it cost? Mr. Smith was taken back with the polite words and replied I think it will amount to five dollars. Whew Jack thought that ll take all my savings but it must be paid. Ecfaching home he immediately emptied his bank and found he had enough to pay the il. The next morning Jack was at Smiths house. He rang the bell and was admitted by Mr. Smith who conducted him into a finely furnished parlor. Having given Mr. Smith the money Jack rose to go but Smith said Boy what made you admit the accident? What urged you to bring the money to me? Why said Jack my religion compels me to pay my debts. Smith nodded and said, I always thought that Catholics were allowed to do anything whether right or wrong. Oh no said the young lad we must under pain of sin obey the laws of our religion. Mr. Smith became interested and asked .lack to remain and tell him more about that religion. I must hurry on to school now, but if you wish I will be able to come after school replied Jack. Fine, Thank you, replied Mr. Smith. After school Jack arrived and was cordially welcomed by Mr. Smith. After many heated arguments and frequent visits Mr. Smith was finally led to believe as Jack did. Now every morning Mr. Smith is seen going to Mass. The happiness of Jack is indescrib- able as he enters the church and sees Mr. Smith praying fervently. Little did he think when he threw that snowball that it would result in a conversion in which he would be the main factor.
