CLASS HISTORY SECTION 10-1 What's your name Mister Freshman, Sir u Do you know my name? n Yes, Sir Oh yes! What is it? u Mr. Senior, Sir u I'll see you in my room in fifteen minutes, Mister. Aye, Aye, Sir. The days of plebes! They're gone forever now. We are full-fledged officers of the second class. Although we are still underclassmen, we have effected a certain air of dignity, which always accompanies an officer when he realizes he is no longer a measly plebe but now truly a part of the Academy. We feel proud to be able to salute our fellow officers and to par- take in their works and recreations. We perceive that we iust don't go to Saint Aloysius but that we are Saint Aloysius. As sophomores we know that we still have two more years of hard voyaging ahead of us before we finally gain our most cherished ambition, The Graduation Cruise. But we've bucked successfully the storms which beat about our frail craft on our first voyage and we are ready to do likewise this year. for we have worthy and capable officers at the helm and hardy mates to steer us through the rough channels of school seas. The Sophomores' willingness to help is not confined to their own ship but they want their influence to be felt by the whole fleet that is sailing under the scarlet and white of Saint Aloysius. We wish to play a main part in all Aloysian maneuvers and make The Aloysius Armada the greatest fleet that every sailed the seven seas. The sophomores can and will do it too. We are all standing at attention, awaiting the commands of our superior officers. It is theirs to command, ours to obey. For someday we shall be at the wheel, our eyes turn toward that distant horizon, directing the fleet to a safe port, and we will want willing hands at our disposal. If we learn to take commands, we shall the better be able to give them. When the time comes to leave the ship which has been your home for four years, Seniors, you may glance back, and there you shall see. standing at attention, ready to take up where you left off, the Class of l940. And as the gentle wind carries to your ears the soft tones of the taps, slowly fading away into the dusk, you will also hear these words which are our fondest hope for you: Bon Voyage. Seniors. It has been nice having you on board. and may we all be shipmates again someday. - - AIAIYSIAN Page Seventy one

CLASS HISTORY SECTION 10-2 Fall-1937 - A new school year is about to begin! We who had exactly one year previously entered Saint Aloysius High School, wide-eyed and full of ioy at the thought of being in High School, were now entering our Alma Mater one year wiser as well as older. Our former class of 9-2 was little changed except for the fact that we were now Sophomores. We were first made aware of the fact that Sister Gertrude Iose was to be our Moderator. This of course was much to our delight. We were also overioyed when we heard that we were to have for our other teachers: Sister Grace Vincent, Sister Alexine. Miss Meyer, and Mr. Connolly. Then came the lntermural Track Meet. Our class during its freshman year was noted for its athletic accomplishments and likewise it held its reputation for a second vear: manv of the members of 10-2 have also, since they made both the Varsity and Iunior Varsity basketball team as well as the Track team. We also hope to have representatives of our class on the baseball and tennis teams. - We enioyed our first semester immensely. Most of us successfully cleared the hurdles of mid-year exams and we started out to second semester with light hearts. We were also informed at this time that we were to have Sister Dorothy Louise for our new French teacher and our beloved Sister Helen Edward from days gone by, for Latin. The class of 10-2 verily believes that in no other High School could there be had a more pleasant training than the one we are now enioying in our dear old Saint Aloysius. We are. however, now growing a bit sad as we realize more and more that our days here are ever growing shorter. Our nearing graduation day will be both a sad and a happy one for our class. We, the present members of the class of 10-2 have iust completed a school year, the fond memories of which will forever linger in our minds. - - - HIAIYSIAN - -, Page Seventy zhree
