c OALMA MATER, ere we say good-bye. And leave your balls with deep, regretting sigh. We must, in spirit, look adown the years And live again the happiness and tears Of days gone by. Enkindle, kindly Muse. My sluggish heart: my listless soul enthuse! n % (» s K y X X X X In retrospect we see ourselves again As tiny Freshmen, little First High men. In Second High and Third we tasted fame— It is no boast—nor ever suffered blame. The passing class of '27 stands. We go! To other fields: to other lands. One glimpse of Fourth High champions. O Muse. Before thy potent spell our spirits lose. There's 'Andy.'’ Rourke. and Bahl and speedy Schmidt: For aught but baseball they don't care a bit. And there’s Arena of the silver tongue. And there's “Bill” Lockwood, of the lusty lung. I see O'Connor and O'Callaghan And Scblosser too. another Irishman. Ed Brandmeier and Jerry ' Haughian shine As brilliant stars in the forensic line. There's big Jim Barton, music'ly inclined. And Art McMullen of the Latin mind: John Corrigan, and Siff. and Dick and Ed. And Hemmen. small, but not a trifle dead. And here's to trombone Bras who makes us deaf. And here's to Graf—not graft—our worthy chef: To Agdamag of pugilistic whim. To Ausman. Lord, and Sheehy— Bud and ' Jim. Ralph Claudon loves to strive in fistic bout: No wonder. Tunney couldn't knock him out. Vice-President McMullen breaks the rule: He's Vice of all the jobs there are in school. There’s Goerig and AI Hurley, two in one. ”A1 Ficker too. reducing to a ton. And Hurley—John, and Pigott. Rip he's styled. And Krebs, a noisy boy and somewhat wild. O Muse, whose features clear do I now read? Our well-beloved President. Jack Meade! Our little ship of state he ably sailed Nor ever as our gubernator failed. One more! A word of praise is quickly sung: John Lyons, so tis told in brief, died young. The vision fades: the spell is o’er. In vain I strain once more to see my friends again. Since in the past I can no longer dwell I give to each my friends, a fond farewell. 'X

our ill Y car J. Ml ADI Pratdent X. MC.ML’I.l.l N Vice-Pmident V. ARENA Ser. I real. W. ANDERSON Ath. Mgr. ON JUNE the tenth the Commencement exercises will take place, and a class of thirty-five young men. sound of mind and strong of body, due to the excellent training received during their four years at the College, will receive their diplomas and step out from the seclusion of school life into the hustle and bustle of worldly cares. Some of these young men will pursue higher studies, some will immediately start out in business, while some few. mayhap, may follow a loftier and holier vocation, the holy priesthood of God. In retrospect we recall the month of September, in the year 1923. when these students came from the different grammar schools in the city to enroll as Freshmen in the High School department. l‘he smaller lads were placed under the able tutelage of Mr. Ed. J. Ccen. and formed the class known as First High A. The other division. First High ”B. comprised the larger fellows, future Varsity material. as their teacher. Mr. Falvey. S. J.. used to put it. In their Sophomore year the classes were still separated. Second A being taught by Mr. Moffatt. S. J.. and Second B by Mr. Crowley. S. J.. and Fr. Deignan. S. J. A feature of this year was the high spirit of rivalry between the two classes. In selling tickets and in getting ads for the school publications they vied for leadership, and in sports they eagerly endeavored to vanquish one another. In their Junior year. Mr. Moffatt. S. J.. remained at the helm of Third A” and Mr. Madigan. S. J.. taught Third B.” At last the two classes merged into one. under the direction of Mr. King. S. J. From the very start of their Senior year the finished product was becoming evident. Able speakers, able students, able athletes, all helped to make the year a grand success in every sense of the word. 'Their spirit was unbounded. The Seattle College Echo of 1927 is a sample of their loyalty and pep. In every phase of school life they have broken into the limelight and have won their share of the honors. There is every reason to believe that the students of this Senior class will live up to the reputation they have already established. The training they have received has instilled high and lofty principles into their minds and hearts which will enable them to maintain their idea of right and wrong in an immoral and corrupt world. May their future years be as successful and as prosperous as the ones they have already spent at their dear Alma Mater.
