A TIKE VERY REVEREND MICHAEL J. MCKEOUGH O. PRAEM., PH.D., Principal 1 ANY times we have stood beside a large piece of machinery and watched the gears mesh in perfect unison, we saw large pistons pump in and out with astonishing rhythmic motion, and eccentric wheels turn with an amazing smoothness. Then the thought, VVho is behind this powerful force P came i1ltO our minds. This piece of machinery can be compared with our own school. The man operating the machine is our untiring principal, Father McKeough. In the three years in our presence, we have learned to know him as an excellent business man, a disciplinarian, an organizer, but most of all as a human being with a soul. No matter what the results might be, Father McKeough has worked for one end- making the machinery, Southeast Catholic, bigger and better. The Crystal 0 1939 - - 1 Eight

Recollections AEC olim meminisse juvabit-it will delight us hereafter to remember these things. Proudly, no doubt, we looked at each other as we, a new group of students, three hundred strong, agreed to uphold the banners of that grand old institution of learning-Southeast Catholic High. The more daring ventured a few chance words to the fellow next to him, but the majority could not utter a word. Even if we had spoken, our words would have been lost in the chaos of chattering teeth, knocking knees, and thunderously-pounding hearts. Like zephyrs floating in the breeze, flew the days of that first great year in the history of Class l39. That opening day of our high school careers, oddly enough, is the day most of us like to remember above all the more pleasant happenings of that first year. After we had returned to school for our second year and had been initiated in the new subjects of the sophomore year, we all agreed that this would be the most interesting year in high school. After a month of Geometry, second-year Latin, and Biology, there were those of us who had our doubts. This second year seemed to pass slower than the first, but still it seemed no time at all before we were dismissed for our second summer vacation. Juniors? Already? VVhy we've been in school only two years! Why, now we can ignore the Freshmen and Sophomores! Say, this is great! But there came during this, our third year, a parting of the ways. Some went to the commercial department, and others decided to further their academic training. During this year, many 39ers!' won places on the schoolis athletic teams. No school year ever seemed so short as this one. Why, why, we're Seniors! Aren't we? Ah, here is where we are going to give those underclassmen a look of sophistication! We were men! We could scorn all the other students! VVe could laugh at their childishness, apparently for- getting that we had been even more childish. VVe were at the peak of our high school career. And now-now it is all over-we must leave our beloved Alma Mater! We must bid farewell, or at least auf wiedersehn, to all the fine friends we have made-pals who have accompanied us to the sehool's affairs, who have helped us in our moments of depression with a timely word of encouragement, who, perhaps, we may never see again, but will always remember. And now, before we go, we wish to express a few words of thanks: First of all, to Father McKeough. To him, our beloved Principal, we pay a debt, not of money or any material thing, but of gratitude. Second, to the members of the faculty, the Norbertine Fathers, who have secured a place of honor in the heart of every member of the Class of 1939. Third, to the Parents Association, which has so generously rendered assistance to our school. Lastly, to all those who have helped to lnake our social and athletic activities pass into the ranks of the successful. Proudly we entered and proudly we leave! Southeast Catholic, we have not fallen down in upholding your name, but rather we have raised it to new heights. Farewell! DOUGLAS KERRIGAN The Crystal 1939 Nine
