U THE RIGHT RIEVEREND MONSIGNOR QUEALY we wish to extend our most heartfelt appreciation lor the kind, paternal assistance he has given us in our religious and scholastic pursuits. Monsignor has ever been our sincere lriend and sage guardian. The wise counsels that have helped us through our school years, we shall always use as our guiding principle in reaching temporal and eternal happiness. lt is most difficult lor us to express what we 'feel in our hearts lor him who has always advised and guided ns, so words are inadequate. They merely serve to state that feeling in cold, impassionate language. The best appreciation that we can oller him is an ardent endeavor to follow those principles which he in his wisdom and kindness has set belore us. We pray that God will grant him every grace and blessing essential to his ecclesiastical career. fqx , Wf Y w X I X An Appreciation WE WISH TO THANK REVEREND FATHER EGAN FOR THE INTEREST HE I-IAS TAKEN IN OUR YEAR BOOK, FOR TO HIM ESPE- CIALLY WE OWE ITS SUC- CESS.

We hope his life will be as long as some of his nouns. Throughout the four years Mary has been a pleasing and helpful friend. Her disposition once in a while is seasoned with little outbursts ol' temper but this only goes to prove her Irish even though that O' has gone astray. Mary has been a very apt pupil. Her scientific prowess in the Science Club has exalted her in the eyes of struggling science stu- dents. Mary has an excellent record in attendance but alas, not in punc- tuality.

They began the year by taking a great interest in all school activities and especially the Girls' Basket Ball Team. They have played the teams of many schools, but sad to say have won only a few games. Nevertheless, all credit is due to the interest of the girls who made it possible to play these schools. During the year many socials were held which made the Freshmen acquainted with their numerous classmates, Sophomores, juniors and Seniors. One of our Freshmen brought honors upon the school by receiving honorable mention in a Religion Essay Contest. During the first term they were very active workers to raise money for their class and held many luncheons and cake sales, but due to the cries of other classes for a chance to run a few sales, the Poor Freshies had to bring their sales to a standstill. Nevertheless, they received this request very kindly and have been great supporters of all other sales run by their sister classes. The Freshmen have been the originators of the Girls' I-landball Team and of course, have started a new fad which has attracted the attention of many of the other classes. They have found great companionship in their junior Teacher, whom they have a hard time trying to surpass in this art. So far the Freshmen have proved themselves true students of St. Agnes' Academy and have upheld the name of the school. Good luck, Freshies, and may all your future years be as successful as your first. f'?X , 11 WI. , fe :mil X I 1-A President ...... ........... . . .ANNA BARRY Vice-President ..... ........

They, too, hold the record of having the largest Sophomore Class of St. Agnes and one of St. Agnes' most brilliant classes. They staged a most successful play, Kath- leen, which was well attended at all performances. Many successful card parties and cake sales were also held, the proceeds of which went to the erection of the new Convent. The most outstanding feature of the class has been their activity in the school Science Club. Many drawings which are on exhibition in the labora- tory were made by pupils of this class and many of the oral topics given by them have proved profitable to other members of the club and will never be forgotten. Ot course, the Sophs are trying to leave the best mark on the school by gaining the most scholarships. So far each graduating class has won numer- ous scholarships which has brought renown to the school. Now the Sophs plan on capturing all the scholarships and leaving an impression on the school so that they will never be forgotten. Go to it, Sophs, and show everybody that you get what you go after, and if our good wishes will help you, then we know tha't..you will succeed. J X X-.X iii 2-A President ...... ....... ....

Each pupil individually has offered his and her services in making a name for the class and school. They are represented in all school activities, and it we look into the class history We shall find that they have carried this record for three years. We hope they leave as good a record when they leave the school on graduation. Many of the juniors have been very ambitious, and if they continue to be successful, will have finished their high school course in three and one-halt years. Bridge seems to be the outstanding hobby of most ol the young ladies in this class and it is the common idea that they are practicing to enter a contest. If so, they have the good wishes of all their friends because we all realize the torture they have gone through during their practice games. The class as a body held a bridge party which was well attended by all the other classes. As a concluding wish, all We can say is that we hope the juniors will meet the best of luck in their Senior Year and will never forget their dear old Saint Agnes.

' . if 4 . .,a,ae,e:,,w ,W a Books As we gaze at the book shelves of a library, we are filled with a longing to begin with the first book and explore these strange lands of fiction. Most of us are slaves to environment, but need we be when books offer a certain and delightful release? In reviewing the trials of others, an individual steels him- self to meet his own trials. Those who live a commonplace, uneventful existence find joy and excite- ment and relief from the Treadmill of Life by living in imagination the adventures of others. In great trials or sorrows we seek solitude, forgetfulness or sympathy in these imaginary but understanding friends. To one who has no opportunity for an education, there is no better teacher than good books, which instruct him in the school of experience of others. In our search for amusement, education, refinement or consolation, we may end our quest in the world of fiction. As we realize the effect of books on our associates and on ourselves, we can not fail to admire those great writers who have rendered such a service to mankind. We wish to give vent to the ambition aroused within us and to aid in some way our fellow men so that our names shall be indelibly printed on the sands of time never to be erased by the great tide of humanity. fjfx N 'wr , e llQS5ll'l ' X 4 -.- inf? Coming Freshmen Oh, yes, we have the future Freshmen of St. Agnes also, that is, the graduates of St. Agnes' Elementary School-Class of '28. My, what ambitions all these young ladies and gentlemen have! Among these someday we may find a Mayor, a Governor, a noted Doctor, a Professor or even a President of the United States. Now don't let this worry you, Future Freshies, because who can tell what you will become-but at any rate, don't forget to aim for the highest. But beware! Your Sophs will give you a mean hazing because they certainly are a strong bunchg yet have this as your one consolation that the next year will be your turn to do your best at this. To close, all we can say is that we wish you the best luck throughout your course and hope that you find St. Agnes, as pleasant and thorough an institution of learning as its past graduates have found it to be. MX T' IT f W ,Q ltetal - X,.L! . ' Our Grchestra ' 1 v -1, V. 1 Y.,-3 , - t Y r:-14:5 Q-g..'? B Travel vs. College C'ollt-gre and travel are both merliums ol' education. 'l'0 decide between the two is ri. dit'l-icult question but I would Choose the latter. 'Fo turn this tlelii.:ht,t'ul means ol' education into son'ietliinp,' l.lei1el'ieial one should not merely drit't t'ro1n plziee to place. He must arrange a systeinatic- tour ot' the world whit-h would bring him in tour-h with all places ot' interest and worth. It would not be pos:-sible to see every nook and eorner ot' the world if one spent too mum-h time in viewing' the well known plum-es. 'Po sz-cure a true knowledgre ot' France, do not go to Puri:-1, with its rosmopolitznn population. One could not lind the true Il'rencl'inian there. Go to the small peasant towns. Converse and live among the peasant: people. ll' you are so fortunate as to climb the barrier that separates you from the nobility ot' l1'ranee, observe these people. Compare and contrast the two. tio this in all the countries ot' liurope and you will have a true conception ot' the traits and 0harz1,c:tex'ist.ies ol' t-:teh nation. In As-ia seek out places that still retain a part, of the anvil-nt civilization. Study the Oriental people in their struggle for civilization and knowledge. 'Fhenc-e to At'rit'a! Here notice the plaees where civilization has not touvhed. Visit a desert town. ltidr- a bit into the dessert. Pause and drink in the beauty, the vastness and the liereent-ss ot' this land ot' sand. It will till you with more admiration, ambition and inspiration than years ol' studying could possibly do. Thus by traveling: we see countries without any vestige of civilization, countries with ancient civilization, countries Sfl'llII3l'lllll.f for civilization, and countries fully civilized. On the other hand, you migfht go to college. ll' you do not study 1-onseinntzionsly, you will merely waste time and money. At any rate, after tour years oi' college your imagination will not bo so awakened or your mind so hroadened as after one year ol' traveling. It is true that traveling is not accepted as at preparation for a profession, but it may be I'LElllClIllJGI'L!tl that a true knowledge otf lininan neiture never injured, any oztroer.. Traveling prepares us for the more beautiful and artistic paths ol' lite. It frees tho mind and loaves tho spirit to Soar high above tho commerceialized world int.o tho realms of celestial beauty. By all means, travel, but do not leave tho whole burden of education upon it. Resort to books-not text books but fiction, biography, history, and above all, poetry. Your soul will be brought into closer contact with nature and its God. 25:6 wanna msgm Qumgsmz Us-axon! Esml Qmcmg mmgslgi mwmmwsm EE: ml? 25:65 mama: -Hoo?

Youth By Nlillieent Munch Light ol heart, and 'tair of face, Tripping with such lithesome grace, ln some fairy woodland vale Where songsters warble out their tale ln sweetly flowing, trilling notes From their fIuh'y, bursting throatsg Where gossamer mists ol silv'ry hue Shimmer in the sparkling dew- Comely as the morning sun- Starry-eyed from mirth and fun, Sweet and lovely as the lily lair That peeps from 'neath thy dusky hair Youth, sweet Youth,, be thou mine! For hope dwells in that heart ol thineg For thee the skylark ever singsg For thee the bell of freedom ringsg For thee the golden cup ol Time Brims with joys like sweetest wine. Thy dancing eyes perceive a world With mysteries as yet unfurled. Alas! Thy wonder, now supreme, Will soon become an ancient dream!

But, zilas, as we steered our ship swiftly about, we struck :L hnpre rock, Geometry, and there we stayed for a time even though the helping lnind pushed with all its inigrlit. Another dny dawned. VVv spent most ol' it l'reeing' ourselves from that huge rock only to be pitclnwl on others. lfinzllly, we realized that to steer our ship szifely to the 1'-nd ol' our journey we must put both hands to the wheel. Vilas it too late? VVe had itrown so used to driftimx iii un indolent fashion among those rocks. NVe ended onr third mlzny with the determinzition to steer our craft carefully.

There is a certain class ol' people as old as the 'human race. They are erroneously called pessiniists. I say erroneously because they parade under the banner or' In-ssiinisni in order to hide the standards to which they really rally: eyuicisni and envy. Beginning with Cain, who murdered his brother ii'll'01,lf-!.'ll envy, we lind down the centuries these pretenders and would-he usurpers ol' the throne ol' genius, the place of honor and leaders-hip. As we well know, the inun who attempts any dillieult Feat, or who turns his back on the beaten trail of Convention and follows tht- highway ot' Endeavor, is always the target for those whose only appreciation consists of the time-worn words, He can't do it. In spite of its boasted civilization this world ot ours is still savage, the primordial motive of self above all else is still the ruling passion in many breasts. 'lt is this self-love, this ego, which causes' us to say sareastically. He ca.n't do it. But we do not seein to realize that We only make sweeter the laurel wreath o'IY the nectar when he conquers in the face of all odds. Shakespeare said: Sweet are the uses ol' adversity, and indeed this is so. Un- wittingly the same dissenters add to the glory of the deed when they make its accom- plishment seein harder by denying its possibility. Emulation is the sincerest forni of tlztttery. lflnvious people unknowingly offer this tribute to leadership when they reveal through their envy the desire ot' achieving the same deeds accomplished by the one from whose llune they are trying' to detract something. The sarne people, whose jealousy painted Iv'ulton's idea ol' u HitfllIll1.'iOilt as at fan- tasy, a dream, flocked to the river banks to see the marvelous results ol' tliat. dream, lt has always been thus. 'l'he fact that mediocrity begets no ucelaini from at multi- tude that can equal such results itself, is ample prool' that a. deed that, can excite envy niust necessarily he great or out of the ordinary. Col. Lindbergh spanned the waters to lie liourget, leaving hehind hint those so- ealled skeptics whose lack ol' courage would not permit them to hluze the trail them- selves, but whose malice made them say, I-le can't do it. Did he not hold another common bond ol' likeness with Columbus in the fact that the latter pioneer was also deridcd? 'Hut it all avails nothing. As long as the leader remains truthful and abides hy the dictates of righteousiness, he will continue to lead. 'Phat which deserves to live, lives. Genius cannot be crushed: like matter, it may eliangre form and crop out in inn-xpeetecl places, but nevertheless, it goes on in the lead. All the little people ot the world try to cripple genius so that their own poor mite of achievement will appear larger by eonipztrison, but they inight as well attempt to breath life into inanimate clay for they stand convicted by their own verdict, They can't do it.

We hereby bequeath unto the junior Class all our right and interest to the view ol the school campus from the Senior classroom windows. To them we also will the master key of the lockers, which, we hope, they will manipu- late with as much dexterity as we displayed. i To the Sophomore Class we bequeath our extensive knowledge oi science-that branch of study in which we were most learned. We bequeath also to our sister class the reputation we have earned during our high school years. We have been informed daily that we compose the most impossible class ever. To the Freshman Class we bequeath the right, honor and joy of belong- ing to the geometry class, where they may trace intricate designs on the black- board. To them we also will our poise. We are confident that even the Freshmen have been impressed by the excellent example the Senior Class has given and we hope that they will profit by it. , We hereby appoint the Class of 1929 as sole executor with final right and power to carry out all the aforementioned bequests. We, the Senior Class, hereunto set our seal this 22nd day of june, in the year ol' our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight. Program of Studies ACADEMIC I. YEAR Il. YEAR III. YEAR IV.

'Phe day has passed for luck to succeed, for untrained ability to on, except under exceptional conditions. The world always adjusts itself' and the men and women in it to the period in which they exist. In the early period of this country, skill was not necessary in order to succeed in business. Agriculture was the great pursuit, and most ol? the boys grew up to be farnicrs. Those who came to be business men found limitless opportunities in a new country partially developed where there is always something For a man to discover in which he can make money without having been trained to the business in which that money is made. Hut times have changed. Now no man can hope to get on in this world above the ranks of common labor, unless he has training for the husinz-ss which he intends to pursue. Statistics show that about thirty per cent ot? the high school students enter upon life's activities without any further prcparation. Theretforc, it seems reasonable to believe that the training which will enable the student to make the quickest and most successful contact with the business world on leaving high school is the training ol? most value to him. To attain this end, a secondary education should serve: first, as a prepar- ation for occupational eiliciency, and second, as a preparation for civic and social responsibility. 'Phat a thorough commercial high school course satisfies these objectives, I will strive to 1 prove. A. commercial course aims to give the student the ability to . jf- f , . , -- ul adJust himself to every phase ot VW: pf' . Yee . . . . - - f y his environmvntg this is the fx --Jjfgggi-f' meaning 'of Spenccr's definition Q,-' ,ff ,fc-1'9 ol? education as a preparation f ff' f for complete living. One ot the important needs of an individual is a preparation to perform his vocational tasks ell-lcicntly. I think the reason so many business men today do not understand the principles, even oi' their own business, is due to the fact that they know little or nothing of the principles ol' economics, business law, arithmetic, English, bookkeeping and accounting. Commercial graduates are not finished products, but they have learned the tech- nique and fundamentals they will Ilnd useful when they go out into business. They have studied bookkeeping, stenography, etc., not as an end, but as a means to an end. They well realize that their knowledge of these subjects, and their acceptance of a position as stenographer or bookkeeper will but serve as stepping stones to higher things, since there is today greater need and demand for high-grade, educated busi- ness men and women than ever before. Before proceeding further, however, let me state that a commercial course, since it is to attain such important ends, is not a snap course, as is often erroneously sup- .

She arrives :it flu- aviation field just in time to see her chuni, lvlaureen, amid the cheers and acclamafions of thousands, alight from the huge air liner, her chosen conveyance for her victorious return from France. After exchanging' fond greetings, the two friends wend their way toward the oflice ot' l1IlllZABlC'l H SHINE, whom they find absorbed in compiling' a hook. The ltlncyclo- pedia of the lf'amous, a retrospect on the careers of the N28 C'onimei-cial graduates of Sf.. Agnes Academic School. It seems providential to Elizabeth that her two former classinates should arrive in the nick of' time just when she needs sympathetic erifies to review her masterpiece. After exchanging a few mutual encomiunis, the work of review begins in earnest.. The first noteworthy personage on record is MARY ANDERSON, the famous star ol' the movie world. Mary attained stardom by playing the leading role in Anierica's Sweetheart. She is a great favorite with the people and her name in headlights- is sufficient. to draw a record-breaking.: crowd. The next caption of' interest is JULIA BRADY, the advertiser. .lnlia won her laurels for her extraordinary advertising ability. I-ler advertiseinents are so unique and original that there is great demand f'or her services the world over. lf has been said that some of Julia's ads would make an Eskimo buy land in Florida. Next appears thc name of 'MAYOR ANNA. RllR'I'ON, ol' Freeport. Mayor Burton has the distinction ot' being the only mayor who has been elected for the tenth con- secutive term. While the three friends are discussing Mayor Burton, who should be ushered in but 'the HONORABLE DOROTHTCA RILEY and l2IGll'I'I-IA ZIMMICR. 'liorothea is now Secretary of State in the T'resideut.'s Cabinet. She has laid aside such trifling matters as the League of Nations and the ratification of' the lNfh Amendment and has made all haste to join her classmates at 'Fllizabeth's office. Bertha, the 'Dean of the State College, is now grown tall and stately. llpou being congratulated, because through her exceptional argumentative and oratorical powers she has persuaded the New York State Legislature to abolish Regents exams, she does not exult as might be expected, for she deplores the fact that, though she thought' sim was laboring for the public good, she has since learned that she has caused great sad- ness of heart among many eager and ambitious, high school students. VVith two more critics added to the ranks, the little hand continues to piruse its class history. 'l'hey read that GLADYS CORCORAN is the principal ol' the Corcoran Business College, which teaches Shorthand and 'l'ypw-writing exclusively. NVhile all her graduates have proved to he experts in these fields, yet none of' them has taken away the crown from Gladys, who is acknowledged an authority on these subjects. GERTRUDE SMITH, the foremost business woman of Merrick, is engaged in the uplifting occupation of selling real estate. Gertrude is at present in Africa, where she sells land to the natives. As an inducement to the natives to purchase she ofliers a free course in Etiquette. This course consists of teaching the natives to eat. with knives and forks and to make use tproper usclb of finger howls. SARAH O'Nl?IIL is married to the renowned philanthropisf, Mr. Million, and is now enjoying great happiness and social distinction. With her fabulous wealth Sarah is performing acts of mercy and charity all about her and is lovingly called Lady Bountiful by rich and poor alike.

'lfhe comedy, Seven Chances, was presented on the evening of November fourth a.!'t.er many weeks ol' paiust,aking labor by Father Egan and the players. The success of t.hls event was evinced by the satisfaction of the vast audience. The players were amply rewarded for their eftforts when a theatre party was proposed and subsequently enjoyed by the members of the cast. On February fourteenth a catered dinner was served in the school hall to the mem- bers of the Alumni. A large gathering was present, including Msgr. Quealy, Father Egan and the High School and Commercial teachers. The very excellent dinner and the vocal efforts were enjoyed and appreciated by those present. So successful was the event that it was decided to hold one of these dinners sev- eral times during the year. These, it was thought, would be enjoyed much more than the regular monthly meetings held formerly. 'Ifwo years ago, a group ot' young men and women. equipped with the sound char- acter training and fountain of knowledge for which their school has become famous throughout Long island, passed through the portals of St. Agnes Academic School as the first graduating class. These students had brought laudations upon themselves by their most praiseworthy academic endeavors, 'Phe general excellence of the class gave lasting evidence of the indcfatigablc work of the Sisters oi' St. Dominic. 'Phe Sisters enjoyed a just pride in these students, for this class had set a, high standard. lvlorcover, one member ot' the class had set a precedent for succeeding classes to emulate by capturing two scholarships. When the splendid results which the first class had attained became known, the class which was to graduate the following yea.r responded nobly to the incentive fur- nished by the success achieved by the class of 15126. 'Phe work of the first graduating elass became the lirst shaft, ol' light centered on St. Agnes' School. It was a goal to be attained, a. l-tesperidian apple to he plucked only after conquering thc obstacles which those who accomplish the extraordinary Overcome. As the f'lass of 15327 approached graduation, they deviated not a hair's breadth from their appointed course. The results of the second class's work were probably more imposing than those of their predecessors. Ot' the eighteen students who comprised the class of 1927, three were awarded scliolarsliips and are now enjoying the benefits which their efforts reaped. Another has entered the Convent and will soon be one of those tireless workers whose efforts make St. Agnes' School one of the best in the diocese, viz., the Sisters of St. Dominic. Nine olf the class are now attending institutions of higher education, the following colleges being represented by t.wo members from that class: St. John's, St. JoSeph's and Adelphi, and the following institutions are graced by one member each: Cooper Union, Jamaica, 'l'ra.ining and Maxwell Training. The remaining eight members have already engaged in some form of commercial pursuit. But wherever their place may be-and everyone has a. definite place in this world- the sound principles oi' Christian charity and integrity derived from most pleasant association with St. Agnes' School will be a controlling influence in each one's life. The toreh of glory which was tirst upraised by the Class of 15126 was again upheld by the following class, and as long as the great work of the Sisters of St. Dominic continues, it. shall remain on high, which is the earnest wish of every graduate. -CHARLES J.
