We are doubly honored because of this year being the Bi-Centennial of George Washington-- “Father of Our Country.” May the following graduates continue to appreciate the opportunities so generously given them by so farsighted and loving a pastor, as Father Bulfin; and an ever helping parish. We realize that our days spent in the Sacred Heart High School have been the making and building up of our future lives and are eager to enter a larger world, where we can exercise to the best of our ability, the knowl- edge and standards we have gained during our school days from the les- sons of our loving and sincere teachers, the Sisters of St. Joseph. MARY FRANCES BLUM 7 8 FATHER BULFIN in c Leases Through Father Bulfln's whole-hearted endeavor we were given the opportunity to attend a Catholic High School. So at this appropriate time we wish to express to h m our sincere appreciation for this great privilege. We found Father a kind and patient teacher, as well as a lovable pastor, and his instructions on matters of religion made an impression that will remain in our memories long after our school association with him is ended. 9 pvVT inc Leases CLASS MOTTO Remain in the Vine CLASS FLOWER Red American Beauty CLASS COLORS Red and Blue 10 v me Lc9 ?CQ Regina Jost, Editor-in-chief Elvira (Pirelli, Assistant Editor Mary Blum, Advertising Manage.

Whichever it be. we feel that t!me has cheated us and that departure is all too soon. Scanning the pages of our history we find each chapter more pleasant and it is with a feeling of regret that we read “Finis.” Being inexperienced we thought—“Life is a path of roses,” but under the influence of the late Sister GeneovefTa we soon became “model” Fresh- men. The Sophcmore year marks a series of memorable events. The greatest of which was the ocening of the new addition to our school. Secondly, the presentation of a Christmas sketch “King Quarrel and the Beggar” which we considered (though no one else did) a wonderful achievement. Next on the list was the production of “L’Echo du Sacre Coeur” in which we dis- played our literary ability. (Such as it was.) In 1930 we faced a most strenuous year but it was the beginning of our progress in athletics. Under the capable management of Miss Evelyn Erooks and Mr. Edgar T. Rieck we gained recognition in the sports world. Entrance to the fourth year brings us to the present day. where we find the “dignified” Seniors working ? to make this, the second edition of “Vine Leaves” a success. (Whether or not it is. we leave for you to decide). In order to defray the expenses of our library and of this book a dance was held on October 1th. followed by a card party on the 25th of November. The next few wee.cs kept us busy preparing for our basketball season, but on January 6th with the help of the Parents and Teachers Association (and the boys) we served a spaghetti supper. This netted eighty-three dollars and seventy cents ($83.70). Time dragged for a while, though we were oc- cup ed wr t r.g editorials, essays, etc. On March 12th we earned sixteen dollars by means of a food sale. At the pre:ent date we are earnestly practicing for our play “Home- Again Hariy” to be presented on April 4th. Here’s hoping it’s a hit! Even as we write, the end of our school days approaches and soon, sooner than we like, we must say “Adieu.” The following is a list of class officers elected each year: 13 me Leafle 9 IwmM CLASS OFFICERS Francis Guicheteau, President Louis Fabbri, Secretary Albert Scarani.

CQ CLASS WILL We. the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-two do bequeath. To the Faculty, the pleasant memories which we will take with us when our school days are over. To the Juniors, the task of trying to print a better Year Book. To the Sophomores, the privilege of talking in assembly. To the Freshmen, we leave our unlimited knowledge, which we hope they will use “for better or for worse.” Louis Fabbri leaves his popularity and masculine ways to any boy in the Junior Class who has courage enough to fight for them. Mary Catto wills her Latin book to Berault Arnade. Take good care of Virgil” son. and don't neglect him too much. Elvira Cirelli leaves her Titian tresses to any Junior girl who is sporting enough to also take the “knocks.” Regina Jost wills her vocal chords to Jimmy Catto. Preserve them Jimmy, for later use.

We would like to introduce ourselves. Then with us you might agree. Louis is the ladies’ man. Anna D. is the coquette. Scarani is our ‘‘Caesar,” And Elvira is our ‘ pet.” Julie hopes to be an artist. Angelo a farmer, if you please. In Francis we find an orator. And in Bisson a first-class tease. Mary has a “school girl complexion,” Claudia a cure for the blues, Jimmy Smith you’ll find hard to teat. As for Lucy she chews and chews (cough-drops). Now Celie is our champion typist, Margie a maker of puns. Mary B. is intellectual. And Jean hopes to conquer the “young.” Davy apparently shy and bashful has plenty of “say.” And Victor’s scornful glances imply. “How do you get that way. Now isn’t eighteen an ideal number.

BLUM CECELIA CRESCI THE MUSIC OF THANK YOU” --------0-------- Have you not heard those words of gratitude time and time again? Still perhaps, you have never realized how pleasantly, even musically the phrase has fallen upon your ear. Has it never occurred to you that words of true gratitude are words of great beauty, whether they are expressed in the silvery stiains of youth, the strong vibrating notes of maturity, or the hollow trembling key of old age. A sincere thank you” is the greatest return any true philanthropist can be given. To him those words carry more satisfaction, more content- ment. than all material favors could bring. He is like a man. who has journeyed from afar to hear a renowned musician or a famous symphony, and when the music exceeds even his fondest expectations, is joyfully rewarded and returns home contented and more than willing to make the sacrifice again. Such is the impression which heartfelt gratitude makes upon the soul of the benefactor; it is for him the sweetest of music. Thank you” is such an ordinary phrase that frequently it passes off unheeded and then surely it can possess no music. But when those words are the expression of true, sincere gratitude, they cannot be commonplace. No matter how often one may hear them they can never fail to be nobly musical. If they carry with them the grateful heart of their utterer. they are like an old piece of music to which one has frequently listened. In the hands of a musician of mediocre ability, it is at best uninteresting. When a master takes it up and plays it. who can fail to feel its over- powering chaim. or to think that it ought to be numbered among the high- est selections of music. In like manner the music of “thank you” depends upon its musician, his feelings and his sincerity. Selected. --------o-------- THREE THINGS Three things to govern— Temper, tongue, conduct. Three things to love— Courage, gentleness, affection. Three things to hate— Cruelty, arrogance, ingratitude. Three things to delight in— Frankness, freedom, beauty. Three things to wish for— Health, friends, a cheerful spirit— Three things to avoid— Idleness, loquacity, flippant jesting. Three things to fight for— Honor, country, home. Three things to think about— Life, death, eternity. 27 SHUT THE DOOR” O Esther Wynne and Alice Arnold lived on the estate of their cousin Will, who frequently sent them money. Esther was a fascinating blonde beauty. One found it necessary only to glance at her flashy, blue eyes in order to “fall” left and right. Alice, on the other hand, was shy and quiet. She had brown hair and deep blue eyes and her popularity could not te compared with that of her cousin’s. One day they received a letter from Will, saying that his friend Georges Coultoum was to visit them. His name is “Georges.” he wrote but te suie to call him that and not “George” as we do in English. Pronounce it as if it was spelled Schorge.” He is a Frenchman and I think you will And him pleasant and agreeable. Tne girls were alaimed for neither of them spoke French. Esther's education was limited and Alice had no knowledge of the language what- It was at a party the following evening that Esther chanced to learn that Coultoum was a splendid chap, known especially for his bravery and kindness and—mostly his enoimous amount of money. But his wealth was all that Esther was interested in at tnat time. She didn’t tell Alice this bit of news but kept it meaningly to herself hoping to land the French- A few days later the girls saw a tall young man alight from a taxi. He was careless.y dressed in an old blue serge suit and hat that appeared worse for wear. A ragged valise was thrown carelessly beside him by the irate driver. ., , Georges Coultoum lifted the latch of the dilapidated gate and stumbled to the door. As it opened a volley of words flowed from his mouth which sounded like a mixture of Chinese and Jewish to the astonished girls. “Ch. how do you do Monsieur Coulbourn,” Alice greeted him pronounc- ing it “Cowelltom.” Bone jewar. Esther said, thinking this would be impressing. He bowed and continued talking in French. Both girls looked at each other and suppressed a giggle. “For heaven’s sake what a pain in the neck.” Esther murmured to her Then looking at Alice and bowing slightly he said. “Je t’adore.’’ She turned. “Why the door is shut” and in a side remark to Alice— “Why in the world does he want our front door shut?” Alice motioned Georges to an easy chair and went to the kitchen to bring some refreshments. Esther busied herself in “making eyes” at him. He spoke to Esther in French and she smiled again. “Je t’adore” he explained as Alice appeared. Please shut the door Al. he’s a plain nut about having the door shut.” She obeyed and later showed him to the guest room. A few hours later dinner was announced and they all entered the din- ing room. Again the guest stammered. “Je t’adore.” 28 Vine Leases Esther had just seated herself but arose in a fury to fulfill his request. In the hall she met her cousin. “He’s an awful pest, why he asked me to shut the door again. I believe he’s afraid of being pinched. These strange requests continued, much to the disgust of the two girls, but Esther played her part like a veteran—never once forgetting his money. One evening Esther left to join a week-end party. “I’ll think of you running to shut doors.” she smilingly reminded her cousin as she left. That very evening, however. Alice accompanied young Coulbourn to a movie, and afterwards prepared a late lunch at home. When they had finished eating the young man turned and said, “Gee! Alice. Je t’adore. She quickly arose to shut the door. My dear girl,” he said laughing, is it so amusing?” Alice blushed. “Oh. you do speak English?” she cried, what must you think of us. after all we said. I think you’re adorable and as for Esther—well why should we worry about her? I’m sorry I deceived you but the temptation to listen to your comments was too great and promised to be amusing. They were too.” “That’s all right Georges, but please explain why you asked us to shut the door so often.” “In French. ‘Je t’adore’ means I love you.” he explained. ANNE D’ALLESANDRO. 29 WHY REMEMBER WASHINGTON TWO HUNDRED YEARS AFTER --------o------- The immortal epitaph. First in war. first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen. most likely prompted the ce ebration which is taking place throughout the United States this year to honor the bicentennial of the birth of our first and most glorious president. George Washington. It is not to Washington, the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, that we pay tribute, nor even to Washington, the first President of the United States; but rather to Washington, the Man. Though one scans the entire history of the nation, one finds no greater, no more noble char- acter than Washington. Let us take a peep into his early life. His education, when compared with that of the statesmen of the present century was tut scant, yet at the age of sixteen, he set out to explore an unknown frontier. Shortly after this, his father died and Mt. Vernon estate passed into the hands of his elder step-brother. Lawrence, and George seemed destined for the sea. He did not become a sailor, however, but fell in with a surveyor from whcm he gleaned a knowledge of land-measuring that served h m in good stead in later years when he came into the possession of the Mt. Vernon home. Everything that Washington did was done with thoroughness and so when his country called him to lead her to freedom he answered the call, giving himself to the cause to the highest pitch of this characteristic thor- oughness. and led his men with a courage and constancy, even against great odds, that dispelled all doubts and despair. Many tales are related concerning Washington’s dealings with his men. hot the following nassage taken from the February issue of the Ladies’ Home Companion.” assures us that besides a remarkable talent for leader- ship. he possessed a certain something without which his men would have been lost. When the soldiers, unpaid, unfed, freezing in rags in the winter snows, sick and desperate, in the darkest hour of our struggle, clung to him as to a solid rock in swirling rapids, it was not from their belief in his genius as a military commander, but for his courage, his justice, his strength, his character. The example he set directed the hearts and the minds of his men to re- ligion more effectually than anything he could have said on the subject. He impressed upon them by this same example the importance of the proverb Cleanliness is next to Godliness” particularly cleanliness of the mind and spirit. This probably was the secret of his success and won for him the title. First in War.” From the time of his appointment to the leadership of the American soldiers. Washington’s life was one of self-sacrifice and faithful devot’on. His one desire was that he might give his best to his nation's welfare. When he was appointed president, he ruled the country with the seme cairn cour- age. firmness, and prudence with which he had ruled his men; with the sr me reserved manner that has won for h'm the respect of ell the ranks of society, and lessened not the friendship of any. not the love of any as was manifested by the second unanimous election to the presidency in 1792 and 30 Vine Leases to which he yielded, though he would have retired to the peace of private life. What wonder that he is cited. “First in Peace.” Nor was his term of office without its great trials. It was during this time that General St. Clair was severely defeated by the Indians as a result of disobedience to instructions. Washington’s fiery temper found vent to such an extent, that he is said to have beaten his forehead with his fists, tut the next instant he had pulled himself together and his first words. “General St. Clair shall have Justice.” These words, evidence of sound judgment and plain understanding gives proof to the excellence of choice when the great American people chose him to rule them. H story shows us that of all great men Washington was the most evenly poised, which perhaps accounts for the fact that as he was First in War,” “First in Peace.” so he was “First in the Hearts of His Country Men.” His contemporares loved and admired him; his memory will live forever as will his great deeds. President Hoover said of him in his speech at the York- town celet rat'on, “He is to te ranked with the noblest of any age.” No tribute is too great to pay to our noble first Statesman, who never took unto himself credit but rather was heard to say so over and over. “All that I am I owe to my mother by whose maternal hand, early deprived of a father. I was led to manhood.” Not until this, his bicentennial, did one realize Just how much has been preserved and dedicated in order to keep alive the memory of our beloved Washington. Among the numerous memoirs of Washington there are ex- tant. some twenty thousand of his letters, and about him as General” there is a whole library of books which give details of his campaigns, and show his military genius. Frcm a paper found among his early writings, was a set of rules to which he probably adhered, showing his excellent home training and strength of character. In every school or historical building one finds either statue or portrait of him. Of the latter, one is the best known and most popular. Its artist is Gilbert Stuart and the story of this immortal portrait, which found its way to the back of the present dollar bill is but little known. At the time of the painting Washington was the rank-figure of the world and Stuart the lanking painter of the world. He had been given three opportunities to try his skill in putting the President on canvas and every attempt was success- ful. The first of his works was presented to Samuel Vaughan and became known as the ‘Vaughan Painting”; the second was presented to the Marquis of Lansiowne; and the third and last came into the possession of Washing- ton himself, at his own request. Stuart was so pleased with his own por- tiayal of Washington in this third attempt that he hated to part with it and left the background unfinished so that he could make copies of it and sell them before presenting it to Washington. Washington, however ex- pressed his desire to have the unfinished picture and so the original re- mained with Stuart until his death, whereupon it became the property of his wife who later sold it for fifteen hundred dollars. It finally came to the Boston Athenaeum. Since then it has been known as the “Athenaeum Portrait.” Washington is said to have had his portrait painted oftener than any other person in America but few of them accurately resemble him. This 31 Leases is attributed to the fact that his expression varied according to circum- stances. In spite of the earnest efforts of the “old-timers” to honor Washing- ton. they can’t surpass the moderns, for even yet plans are being made for memorials to the most famous of our presidents. Every man. woman, and child, every village, town and hamlet will do its utmost to pay worthy tribute to Washington during this—his bicentennial. Pennsylvania is plan- ning a Washington Park. Valley Forge and Brandywine having been pro- posed as the site. Thus his greatness and popularity will live as long as the country he so loved, lives. A cynic once said that we go through life with only one friend and that friend, his or her mother. Not so with Washington, he won the love and affection not only of the majority of his contemporaries, but of every man. woman, and child that has listened to the story of his life and deeds. Although this essay wins for me no prize or praise, it has. I assure, enabled me to gleam a wealth of information about the greatest, the noblest, the most lovable character in all American history and I shall never again say. as I must confess. I was tempted to when this task was before me. Why Remember Washington Two Hundred Years After? JEAN JOST -------o-------- THE REAL GIRL The right sort of girl naturally responds to trust and will never prove faithless. If she is the kind of girl who is willing to take advantage of the confidence which older people place in her. she has reason to be alaimed about herself, because in the end she is the real loser, the one who actually does harm herself. She will find it hard, if not impossible, ever to regain that confidence and trust which she has abused. If she is a real girl, if her nature is truly noble, she will recognize no greater incentive to right doing than the fact that somebody believes in her and trusts her. -------o-------- MISTAKES It isn’t so bad to make a mistake, but to keep on making the same one is inexcusable. Only a confirmed blunderer will do that. The alert, wide- awake person will see to it that he does not make the same mistake twice. He will profit by his blunders and demand that each mistake teach him something. A mistake is a s� gn-post to keep us frcm the wrong road and to start us on the right one. 3ut if we shut our eyes as we ccme to each sign along the way we are bound to have a difficult Journey. 32 •WITHOUT ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING’’ This is a simple statement, yet replete with profound significance. It states the enormous difference between meritorious acts and those not so accepted by God from the hands of men. Some men however think one religion as good as another; others again consider good works alone, without bothering about one’s religion. If we believe in the existence of God and know for sure that He has given cer- tain directions to be observed in our conduct and in our various relations with Him—then surely no longer can one religion be as good as another, nor can acts that have been performed accordingly to His direction be as meri- torious when performed in strict adherence to His Divine Will. If we ••think” one religion to be as good as another you should likewise consider one kind of work as good as any other; if you believe in good works alone without bothering about religion you might as well drop your employer, forget his apparently unnecessary directions and promptly do as you please. However you realize that such a proposition sounds foolish for it concerns not the loss of a paltry job. but that of your eternal salvation. Hence the words of Jesus. Without Me You Can Do Nothing have a tremendous beaiing upon our daily life. It makes precious little difference whether we accept them or are inclined to doubt their importance:—they have been given to us by the Son of God and they are as plain as divine Truth itself. He had come to seek and to save what was lost.” He had come to take away our Iniquities by suffering and death. He had come to aid us with His divine help, to point out the way. Let us then co-operate valiantly with Jesus and on the other hand be most eager to accept His aid with gratitude. Let us beware lest we. too. make the mistake so popular among our non-Catholic neighbors who call Jesus by the familiar teim of Friend. Brother or Pal. Our Lord is a Friend. Brother and Pal. but He is also infinitely more, for He is God. our Saviour, who had done things for us which unaided we could never have accom- plished. While loving Him as Man we should never lose sight of His Di- vinity. May His divine help ever prompt us to reach out for the crown— Our crown of life eternal.

We say pinnacle” because that, which for four years was but a dream, has. at last, become a reality. Surely no one v ill ask. “And what is that?” for it is well known that our fondest hopes were centered around the conquering of St. Nicholas’ High School, one of the strongest teams in South Jersey and our greatest rival. The fact that we accomplished, what we consider a great feat, is due to the patient and expert coaching of Miss Evelyn M. Brooks, whom we found an ejoyable companion as well as an interested and capable in- structress. This however was not our only victory for under the able leadership of our Captain. Frances Jost, we strove onward winning all but two of our sixteen scheduled games. It was not such an easy matter for the loss of one of our forwards (Julia Langley) dealt us a severe blow from which we were a little while recovering. But Julia, though not actually in the game gave us her staunch support, thus doing her tit.” The “eagle-eye” of Evelyn Kessler and the marvelous defensive work of our guards. Mary Foley. Alice Luisi, and Margaret DiCiurcio, brought piaiseworthy comments from all sides. The latter, a newcomer to the Varsity Squad, pioved a wonderful asset to the team. 40 inc Looses The floor work of our centers. Jean Jost and Jenny Sparagna also re- ceived favorable comment from the fans for it had much to do with the “upsetting of our opponents. We might add that “sweet revenge” was had on a certain redhead.” For further detail on this subject kindly see Jean. Jean has played Jump center on the Varsity for three years and we are sure that she will be greatly missed next season. Our promising substitutes are: Mary Gofreddi. Corinne D’Ippolito. Do- lores Marx. Cecilia DeMaio and Eunice Fabbri. And now as the t me for our departure draws nearer we. (the Seniors) join in a hearty outburst: Three Cheers for S. H. H.

Under the skillful tutelage of Edgar T. Rieck, the team showed greater ability and noted improvement. This season was fairly successful with a record of 9 victories and 12 defeats. Among the teams to fall before the S. H. H. S. quintet were: Camden Catholic. Salem. Tuckerton. Woodbine. Pennsgrove and Clayton. Many thrilling games marked the season. The most exciting one was with Cfmden Catholic, played on the home court. The capacity crowd, after witnessing some of the best brand of Basketball played in this section, departed with the impression that Sacred Heart well deserved the 20-21 victory. (This game was later protested on an official decision and re- played.) Captain “Al” Scarani. our husky guard, was one of the biggest factors in our victories. He well deserved the title of Captain” for he showed leadership and sportsmanship on the court at all times. He was a great defensive player and t me and time again saved many a ball from splitting the cords in favor of the opponents. Al” was not only a defensive man but also an offensive one for his eagle eye enabled him to score many points. It is with i egret that we bid him a fond farewell. May you con- tinue your leadership in the years to ccme. 42 James Smith, the diminutive guard, proved a great asset to the Sacred Heart quintet. His speed and elusiveness lead the team in scoring. “Jim” seemed to be of rubber for he continually bounced away from his opponents to snap in a pass that often added markers to the Sacred Heart score. The team will sorely miss you “Jim” in the ccming season, and it is with great sorrow that we bid you “Adieu.” James Jiggs” Catto, our lanky center, enabled Sacred Heart to prove successful over many of our stronger opponents. His height netted him the tap. which on many occasions was converted into points. He always played a hard game anxious to place his team in the lead. It seemed that his object was to nab the rebounding ball from the backboard, and he made a success at his aim. Better luck in the coming year Jiggs.” Joe Foley, our fast steppin’ forward, surely gave the spectators more than one thrill. He was game to the core and no one could stop him on the court. The team received a great setback when it was learned that he could not continue to give his splendid support because of his run-down condi- tion. “Joe” certainly did his share for the honor of the team and his ab- sence left a vacancy that was hard to fill. You have our sympathy and also our best wishes during the coming season. John George, the utility man of the squad, could step in where ever needed, and could be counted on in coming thru.” The position did not worry John for he fought earnestly for the team in order to bring victory to Sacred Heart. John has another year of school and we expect him to continue his fine fighting spirit. Here’s luck. John. Lew” Cresci, the stellar forward of the team, was a great defensive player. He did not care about anyone but his team while in a game, and being only a Freshman, we expect great things of him in the coming years. His splendid fighting spirit alone wi'l class him as a future star on the wooden way. Wishing you success. Lew.” James Hennessy is one of the substitute utility men. ably filling in any gap in the team though he generally played in the forward position and scored many points at a time when they were mostly needed. Jim” also is a Freshman and we expect him to lead the team next year in scoring. Joseph Duffy, our reserve forward gave the team many a thrill when least expected. “Joe” shot fiom any angle on the court and it was a pleasure to see him sink those nice shots. He has three years yet in which to play basketball and we expect a great deal of him. Keep up the excellent work Joe” and Sacred Heart will have reason to be proud of you. Durand. Fleming and D’Ippolito. although participating in but a few games showed us that they possessed a fighting spirit. Durand leaves us this year and we extend to him our bet wishes for he certainly did his part in the field of sports while at S. H. H. S. Fleming who is a Junior will be fighting for a position on the Varsity and we are sure that he will suc- ceed. D Ippolito has thiee more years in which he can give the players plenty of opposition and this may net him a permanent place on the squad. Our Second Team played a prominent part in basketball at Sacred Heart this season. They gave the Varsity many a hard workout getting them in shape for the stiff opposition that they met. They managed to win many games against Second Teams of near-by schools. Those partici- 43 Leave ?X X pating in these games were: Captain Francis Bisson. Joseph Reilly.

INTERCLASS BASKETBALL One of the big events of the year was the winning of the boys inter- class trophy so generously donated by Allan J. Thomas, of Millville. The Senior girls being unable to boost a fast basketball team left the task of upholding the Senior “dignity to the stronger sex,” and as expected they came out on top. The only catch is the fact that we were forced to leave our prize in the library for the benefit of everyone rather than in the class room, where we would have been able to admire and exclaim over it daily. The Juniors captured the girl’s cup donated by Mr. Edgar T. Rieck. and when one enters their room it twinkles at him from the corner where it is proudly perched. The Juniors and Seniors have always been rivals, but feel that they are now “even.” In any case they are just as companionable as ever. 45 me Leases OUR BASEBALL TEAM BASEBALL Our hopes for a successful baseball season are high but the personnel of the team is doubtful. Captain Lew” Fabbri. Vic Durand. Ange” Bagliani and Jim Hennes- sey are the only returning letter men. Fabbri and Bagliani will, without doubt, take care of the outfield posi- tions along with Guicheteau. Johnson, and Ferrarie. Durand and Hennessey are quite capable of handling the first and second sacks respectively. Jimmy Smith, former Millville High outfielder, will probably be switched to shortstop in an effort to bolster that side of the infield. Joe Reilly. Charley Bagliani and Bud Kessler will fight it out for the hot corner. Vondra. Foley, and Dougherty are the backstop candidates. However Vondra is thought to hold the edge on the others. The pitching staff will be comprised of John George. Frank Bisson and Joe Duffy. Here’s hoping!

Behold the result of election was nearly disruoted when James objected to his office on the our efforts! Edward B. Arnade was chosen class president; Joseph Foley, vice-president; Anna Ratti. secretary; and James Catto, treasurer. The grounds that there was no such thing as a treasury because no one even gave him anything to collect! Maybe so. James, maybe so! But wait until next year! The first social affair we attended was the Book Party that was offered as a substitute for the Freshmen initiation. We showed our good will by contributing a book to the library and ourselves to the party. The next ripple on the calm surface of our school life was not social it was triumphal. Our girls won the trophy for the inter-class basketball games and the said trophy is now reposing on a shelf in the Junior Room. It is a bright day in the life of John Fleming when he is told he may polish the girls’ cup a bit! As the Year Book goes to press, we are making preparations for a modest Prom to be held in honor of our dear Seniors. We hope that every- body will have an enjoyable evening. We intend to have one. anyway! The year has passed very quickly and now at the close we find that we have all increased in wisdom, age. weight and height. For information re- garding this last statement see Doctor Bardfeld. There are a few weeks left and then vacation! That. too. will pass quickly and before we know it, we shall all be back at dear old Sacred Heart High, full-fledged, dignified Seniors. 51 N o THE SOPHOMORES Sophomore Class History In September. 1931. we started out on the second lap of our four year voyage across the sea of higher education, waving our tanner of Green and White. For the first few weeks the sea was quite calm and the Sophcmore fleet progrersed lapidly. burning the bridges of the Freshman year behind it. The crew began to feel that they were no longer insignificant “No- bodies.” tut important, wise Sophcmores. Plunging into sports with great zest, our girls met the Freshmen in an inter-class basketball game and came out triumphant with such a score that we plunged in again to emerge with a 9-5 victory over those lofty Seniors. But the worst was yet to come for our scrapping six” did not come up to our expectations in that thrilling game with our mortal enemies. Juniors. The boys’ team did not seem able to get into their stride at all. They had the material (?). but Lady Luck was a stranger to them. How- ever. they were hard to beat, due to their fight and determination to win. We draw a merciful veil over a certain encounter with the grammar school. Of course we believe in encouraging the young! A class party at the residence of one of the members sent home a tired and happy group of boys and girls after an evening of jollity and fun. Then for a whiie the sea was peaceful, as we steered along and toiled with our lessons, until again it swelled again with the revelry of our Sophomores at a took dance given in the church auditorium, which was brightly decorated ivth those gallant colors, red and blue. Somewhat later came a card party, and agan we figured most prominently, especially by our labors as Clean- Up Squad. Our teachers guide our ship past rocks and shoals as we look forward with anticipation to that Prom. We might remark on an old proverb we often hear—something amout “Quality”—or tell you how the current De- pression affected us at Easter.—but “a quoi bon?” We’ve come Smilin’ thru it all!” Meanwhile our pennant of Green and White floats on high, as we bid you farewell, eager to brave the dangers of our Junior year. At any rate, our journey is half finished, and. as we peer into the distance we can almo:t see the lights of the harbor. June. 1934! Class Historians: MARY ALICE KERSHAW. CATHERINE MCDONALD.

VIRGINIA GILLESPIE EDWARD GIORDANO President Vice President MARY VINCENT Secretary Treasurer EUGENE KESSLER 53 Vl THE FRESHMEN FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY As I stand here close to the end of the Freshman year and look back to that memorable first day when we took our distinguished places as Fresh- men in Church. the thought comes to me. How quickly time passes. It seems but a few days ago that we listened to Father Bulfln’s sermon on the value and the purposes of higher education at the opening Mass.” And I cannot but be sad. for will not all these happy school days and youth and its Joys as well, pass all too quickly? But away with sad thoughts! We are launched out into the deep and youth and its joys today are ours. We began our cruise of the Waters of Knowledge” on the ninth of September. 1932, with twenty-six strong. Sister Aloysia was appointed our guide and has helped pass unharmed over the troubled waters of Latin Conjugation and Declension. Nor were these the only dangers that we en- countered. These sirens. Z and Y and X. beckoned to us with wiley smiles, and Knowns and Unknowns (mostly unknown) coaxed us to come closer. But. thanks to the careful guidance of Sister Lilian, we weathered that storm victoriously. Sister Marie Emily piloted our craft to Egypt. Babylon and such like places, and. in the course of our journey, introduced us to such distinguished gentlemen as Darius. Alexander the Great. Odoacer. to say nothing of Sir Julius Cresar. Oh. yes. we have indeed weathered some stormy seas. But our journey was not all through troubled waters. We had some high lights of fun as well. Very early in the year the Seniors gave a dance in our honor, instead of the usual initiation (the latter, I’m inclined to think, was always more fun for the Seniors than for the Freshmen). The dance was a hu e success and. incidentally, we were able to do our bit” since admission to the dance was a book for the library. Basketball season opened with a bang. Lou Cresci and Joseph Duffy made the Varsity Team. And we might pause here to say that we are proud of our Varsity Girls even though no Freshmen are numbered among them. An all victorious season is something to be proud of. And we’re not exactly ashemed of our Varsity Boys, we know we’ve good material and we're con- fident that victoiies will come next season. Our Class Team, under the captaincies of John DTppolito and Loretta Nealis took part in the inter-class games and. although we lost, it was always by close scores. Just now tennis and baseball are the sports of the hour, and being young American hopefuls, we’ve turned out in goodly numbers, for these all- American gemes with the modest ambition of winning the world’s cham- pionship in tennis and supplying an able successor to Connie Mack. We’ve saved the event of the year for the last, the Junior Prom! Seniors, if you’d let us. we'd fill your book with an account of this. But we know that we must leave rocm for the other historians to show their ability. Thank you. Juniors, for the very good time we had on the night of the 15th. We hope it will be an annual event.

A place where one can really enjoy the funny happenings of the day without disturbance. A place where all business matters are settled. A place where one is sent for punishment. A place where one amuses himself with the best books of the season. Any one of the above might be the answer given by a Sacred Heart Student if asked to describe the Library.” Glancing at the picture opposite one would judge that there are many “intense readers” in Catholic High. However, he has no way of knowing that behind that mask of “concentration” there lurks a great deal of sur- passed laughter, threatening to burst forth at any moment.

The audience, a large and appreciative one. enjoyed every minute of it and returned home with the delightful feeling one gets when he has had a pleasant surprise. The play itself, one of J. C. McMullen’s, was very humorous and the dual role of Harry and Stuart, made it puzzling, thus heightening the interest. The cast, according to the ‘ critics”, gave an extraordinary performance. And in behalf of the former, we might add. that they enjoyed giving it. as much as the people enjoyed seeing it. (In fact, if one had taken a peep behind the scenes at several of the rehearsals, he might have mistaken us for some of the residents of Main and Landis Avenues.)

It was a school affair held on a Wednesday afternoon in November. The fact that we had skipped” a half session of school made it the merrier. About twenty tables were in play and the students eagerly awaited the awarding of the prizes. We had an extraordinary selection, but all eyes were on the door prize, a coverlet embroidered by the nuns. The lucky recipient was Mary Alice Kershaw, one of our Sophomores. In the course of the afternoon names were drawn to determine the winner of the turkey, for which we had gotten donations a few weeks be- fore. Mrs. Jervis of 725 Pear St., was the second lucky person. The receipts went toward our library fund. --------o------- SPAGHETTI SUPPER We take this opportunity to thank the P.-T. A. for the help they gave us in making our supper a success. It was held in the Church Auditorium on January 6th. We had a large attendance and were complimented by everyone for the good service and well-cooked food. The latter praise belongs, of course, to tho.e women who prepared the spaghetti. Mary Blum took complete charge and deserves a great deal of credit for her excellent managing. This time the proceeds went toward our Washington trip. --------o------- FOOD SALE given by S. H. H. S. SENIOR CLASS At Parkinson Bldg. N. W. Cor. Seventh and Landis Saturday, March 22nd Home-made Pies, Cakes and Bread Glaring signs, with those words were seen from one end of the town to the other. As a result we made $16.00! Imagine! Sixteen Dollars! In these hard times. Oh. well, what can one expect, we weie on y there from ten until six. The depression, however, didn't last long, for a month later we acquired almost twice as much on a cake sale held in the Church ves- t bule. Three or four like the first and we'd soon have been WALKING to Washington. But. then, why be a pessimist? 60 DANCE In order to enlarge our library, a dance was held, the admission being a book. This was sponsored by us. the Seniors, and we lived up to the old adage of “Killing two birds with one stone” by holding it also as a reception for the Freshmen. They seemed to enjoy themselves if no one else did. The hall was attractively decorated in green and gold and remained so for about half an hour. Then—down came the evidence of all our hard work. The Freshmen were very destructive. Whether they are or not. we will blame them anyway for we are sure that they won’t mind. The music was furnished by Paul Whiteman and his Lucky Strike Dance Orchestra. Just a moment! We know that you will question this, but we really were for- tunate enough to obtain an Atwater Kent Radio which made it possible for us to listen to the most talked about orchestras. “ Last minute refreshments were served and the Freshmen went home early.” MAY CELEBRATION The celebration held in honor of Our Blessed Lady on the third Sunday of Her month was. as usual, very impressing. Our Rev. Mother and the Sisters endeavored to make it even more beautiful than it had been in former years. They succeeded (in spite of the Giecian gowns.) The girls were attired in white and carried large bouquets of various kinds of flowers, lilacs, sweet peas, roses and carnations. The boys, we must admit, did their best to look pious (and handsome). Maiy Blum had the privilege and the honor of placing the crown on the head of the Mother of God. She was assisted by the members of the Senior Class and several flower girls. Each girl attendant carried four white lilies, which weie later placed at the foot of the shrine. Hymns weie sung and through the effoits of Sr. Cecilio Frances both the selection and the singing were fine. A sermon delivered by lather Donnelly, of Millville, gave the day a delightful ending. --------o------- JUNIOR PROM At the precent date. April 28.1932. our beloved Juniors are planning a a dance for the.r equally beloved Seniors. It is to be held in the Church Auditoiium on May 18th. Each Senior received a special invitation and a ccmplimentary ticket. We hope that it will be a big success, not only be- cause we reap the benefit, but because the Juniors are earnestly working for its success. We appreciate it. pals, and are quite sure that some one will do the same for you next year. 61 me Leones -CUM LAUDE” We are proud to say that the following students have had their names on the honor roll, published in our Parish Calendar, for five or more months.
