As the S. S. Aloysian left Seniorville, Sister Pauline was at the helm. It was with a strange feeling that we watched Seniorport disappear beyond the horizon. We realized that all too soon we would reach Graduation. The Student Organization was revived under the banner of the Sodality of Our Lady and the Glee Club was reorganized. Our efforts in- dramatics, under the cirection of Mr. Broderick, were rewarded by the huge success of our presentation of three one-act plays. Before we realized it, the ship had docked and anchored at Graduation. Reluctantly we bid farewell to the crew which had been so kind and gen- erous. As we disembark, we carry with us our priceless possessions- education, Catholic training, and beautiful memories of high school days. ' -' ' AIAIYSIAN - ,', ' Page Nineteen

Ever since our class has known Marion, we have been aware of her cheerful man- ner and witty sayings. As ambitious in studies as she is on the basketball court, Marion is a typical Saint Aloysius High School student. If kindness, un- selfishness, and a cheerful outlook are any assistance in after life Marion may be assured of success in the future.

It took us only a short time to realize that Red is a gem. I-Ie adapted himself to Saint Al's customs immediately. In .his senior year, he was elected co-captain of the basket- ball team.
