It began the march 10 aeunnplishnwnl and success. Xthn the storm is past 11111! has been successfully weathered, 11 retrospective glance at the events associated with 0111' high school life is even more pleasurable than a draught of aged wine. Four years ago we were Freshmen. timid and retir- ing. tPardou the contradiction, tktimid 1'10511-11101133 By the way, has it ever occurred to you why the girls of 111'st year high school are not called ttFl'esh-girlslw Try to dope it 0111 if you can. That sudden flash of original thought almost threw me 0H lhe truck. Some 0116 did warn 1110 not to let my thinking g0 tq my 11112111.. Anyhow, to be :1 Freshman is not exactly a Hattering propositlon. but 1t 11-; a necessary evil. Sophomores, Juniors. and Seniors took turns in flattering 111111 tttlatteniugh 11s poor boys. We. also tried to do some Hattering. more 01' less successfully. XVe tried to make our teachers believe that solving algebraic problems, 111e11101'izing conjugations and deelensions, and making English compositions were 0111' most delightful occupations. However, we did finally ttsnap 011th of 0111' apparent lethargy and astonished the worldethatts how we felt about iteby publishing a clever elass-paper, called The Beehivett; a name indicative of 0111' inexhaustible energy. Just about this time we 1111 caught the spring fever and waited for the vacation days to cure it. So-pho-more. Yes, we came back for more 111 September. 'What a feeling! No longer were we ignored and downtrodden Freshies, hut euuuwipated. full-f'ledged Sophomores. The exhilaration of emancipation awakened 0111' 110111111111 talent and energy. XVe literally gulped down knowledge and teemed with activity. XVe reveled in English emupositiml, public speaking, and debating. Remember the keen competition between 0111' class papers. WFhe Broadeaster't and ttThe Herald? Do you recall 0111' nerve in presenting a series of 011e-11el plays before the student body? To climax 0111' Sophomore year we 11 11blisl1ed 11 colorful year-book, 1311112 and Gold? Lest I forget, 131'. Juvenal Berens, OF. M., the present Principal of Roger Bacon, preached 0111' nud-yezu' retr 'ul. XVhal a eo-invcidence! When the curtain rose 011 0111' Junior year, eighteen of us. returned to continue our studies. 0111' class consciousness urged 11s to organize. for there is power in unity. Officers were elected to preside at weekly meetings. We individualized ourselves by wearing a class pin and publishing a class paper, ttJunior Echo. 0111' debating ability eliciled a challenge from the. St. Bernard Public High School, which was readily accepled. We came, we saw, we conquered. During our Junior year a rumor was floated. Some one heard some one say, then some one heard this one say, and finally we were omcmlly 1'11ng Tu'unty-Sc'ven
