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 .

Subconsciously our student mingled with the throng in the midst of Thackeray Boswell Irving and numerous others of fame whom she failed to recognize. Arent you a writer? asked the congenial Irving. A writer scoffed Shakespeare, all she ever did was think about the theme for a mere essay. The girl blushed and crouched in her chair. - Did I ever finish it? she mused half aloud. Finish it! growled a man whom she recognized as Samuel Johnson as he worked him- se into a frenzy of wrath Certainly not! Come, come, give the girl a chance, said Boswell. ' - 'Chancel Why he stormed, we had to suffer starvation, cold, and what-not to gain a . osition. Why should she get the same honor for nothing? ., Q While the embarrassed girl looked for a gap in the floor through which to escape, a E heated discussion followed. ' l Don't mind them.
