The important objective for which St. Michael High School was established is the teaching of Religion to Catholic youth. We have been imbued with a deep under- standing and love for our holy Religion. You have sac- rihced much time to set before us high ideals and sterling principles of our faith, especially on the sacrament of mat- rimony. We hope to exemplify by our lives the splendid teaching we received under your direction. During our four fleeting years you have cheerfully aid- ed us in every difficulty. We shall remember you in all our prayers, Father Walter, and may you have God's blessing on every task you undertake. CC C4 CC As director of the lyceum, which is an all-a.round-the- clock time undertaking, Father Harold is kept quite busy. One of the many accomplished enterprises undertaken by him is the Fifty-Fifty Club, the overwhelming suc- cess of which merely describes his excellent monetary knack for business. Another task undertaken by our financierv is the bingo, which likewise is a success. In his quiet manner, Father always manages to say a word of comfort to the dolefulg a word of counsel to the dubious and a walloping mouthful to transgressors. To all who Reverend Walter Wynn, C.P. know him, he is the disperser of the seeds of kindness and benevolence. . O - A Reverend Harold Poletti, C.P. 1 St. Michael High School affords us many advantages, but none greater than that of an annual retreat. The re- treat of 194-5 was conducted under the direction of Reverend Peter Quinn, C.P. Father Peter is a great read- l er and is interested in studying much, since a great deal of l his career has been spent in teaching. At present, Father is engaged mainly in preaching and giving retreats. Interesting and instructive, our last retreat at St. Mi- Reverend Peter Quinn, C.P. ,Retreat Master '11 chael will be an enduring memory, a source of strength in adversity, and in prosperity, an added joy.

GRADUATES' MESSAGE TCD THE FACULTY During the past four years we have been led wisely under the spiritual and far-sighted inliuence of those who helped us mold our outlook on life. We do not always realize throughout the years just how much time and effort our sponsors and ad- visers devote to us. We, of the Senior Class, wish hereby to ac- knowledge the services rendered. To our Pastor, Father Benedict Huck, C.P.g to our high school Director, Father VValter Wynn, C.P., to the Director of our Band and of Veronica's Veil , Father VVendelin Meis, C.P. and to Father Harold Poletti, C.P. we extend our most grate- ful appreciation. To our Teachers, the nuns, who gave all their time and un- tiring efforts, who by their mature advice and guidance enabled us to bring our Catholic high school career to a successful conclu- sion, we owe more than we can ever express. They work behind the scenes, unacclaiined and almost unknown, except to God. For their help and guidance in helping us find God's plan for us, we sincerely wish them God's choicest blessings in all their future undertakings. 13 i J T nl ' 1 4 4
