When the curtain rises again the Fresh- men are in a state of feverish excitement. They have just received an assortment of books with foreign titles. What delights the freshies most is the vivid colors of he covers of their Sources of Knowledge. A disturbance is created in one corner of the room, and upon investigation it is re- vealed that a freshie has just broken his bottle of milk. He was heard to cry One b tle of recess refreshment gone west!', Imminent starvation is threatened when the freshies', learn that they must remain in school until four o'clock. The main event of the first year was Longfellow Day . The freshies spoke their pieces bravely, but it was reported by critics that the knocking of their knees drowned out their oratorical cleverness. However, in nearly every activity the freshies were merely part of the scenery, 1-.1?.. ..-. - -.- ji and waited patiently for the day when they could display their hidden talents Thus the curtain closes on Act I, acqualntlng us ACT II The setting this time IS ln the same class room as ln the first Act, and lt shows our friends, now Sophomores, taking extreme pleasure in hurling taunts at the Freshmen There IS a great contrast between the scenes ln the classrooms, where the Sophomores are models, in Caesar, algebra, and the rest, and in the hall where the Sophs are the leading singers and talkers The plot germ mates ln the age old strife between the rul lng classes and the downtrodden serfs whose struggle for independence IS marked by many deeds of heroism The plot thick ens like gravy as ll gets hotter The Sophomores are held up before the high school as models ln the singing classes, where they vainly try to keep the rest of the high school on pitch for the Sopho mores take their vocal obligations seriously. The crowning events of the year were the enacting of the Washington Day program, presented in the auditorium, and the win- ning of the Latin vocabulary championship. Both events were howling successes, and they were well repaid for their efforts by the hearty applause of the appreciative audiences. And so on the closing day of school, the Sophomores look back and con- sider the year well spent. ACT III The class is smaller as the students re- turn as Juniors. Most of them have been together for years, and are on well estab- lished terms with each other. It is amusing to see how superciliously the Juniors watch the tenth graders taunt the freshies, and turning away they wonder how the Sophomores can get so much joy out of it. Such children-fthese Sophs and Freshies !

9' fer it Q 4..Q.,...-UQ, L J' was a St. Patrick Day program in which Junior boys and girls took part. A May day was dedicated by a proces- sion in honor of our Blessed Mother. The girls walked down the aisle of the church in their white dresses and Lourdes pipe dream became a substantial reality. After long months of strenuous labor a pageant representing the history of Lourdes parish was displayed by the students for the public in the high school auditorium. The Juniors took an active part in helping to make the pageant a success. The crowning social event of the year was the Senior banquet given by the noble Juniors. They deserve a great deal of credit for the artistic decorations and the origin- ality displayed in presenting a feature pro- gram. A splendid time was had by all present The third act brings the climax of the play with a great deal of intense dramatic appeal ACT IV The students return to the school with five layers of tan and eager to begin their Senior year A few changes ln the program merits and demerits are taken care of, and the classes are put into full swing. It must be said that some of the players get dizzy and almost fall off. Intermission was called as we practiced for the Jubilee program given in honor of Father Tulley, our devoted pastor. We la- bored not in vain, for it turned out to be as grand a spectacle as our public had ever witnessed. Our debates, too, upheld our well estab- lished reputation made in former years by our graduated Daniel Websters. The Seniors had much enthusiasm over the idea of an annual, so much, that in fact, it would be hard to put it in words. By the time the annual goes to press the Seniors can breathe easily and look ahead to the sad day of graduation. The last act closes appropriately ln e church of Our Lady of Lourdes where t e characters of the play receive diplomas e certificate which admits them to the real drama of life Ouvi-:'r'n: PARENT 30 Aucr: REINHART '30 39 C' f7 vans SX KJ .
