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

CLASS HISTORY SECTION 10-3 With a new name painted on her bow - l0-3 - the sturdy old 9-3 sailed through the dangerous and unknown, but nevertheless adventurous waters of Sophomore Year on the second leg of her long iourney. Amply financed by treasures found on the isles of Religion. Latin, English, French and Geometry, she and we, her able crew of twenty, continued in our search for the uncharted isle of Knowledge, on which we hope to find the golden chest of Achievement, wherein lay a parchment diploma, our license to the better things in life. Brisk gales of fun and pleasure added zest to our arduous but thrilling voyage, and made what might have seemed a tedious necessity a grand and glorious adventure. We are proud to be part of the great fleet of Aloysians, and aspire to become someday the flagship of so fine an armada, and to bear the proud name of Seniors. In our two fruitful years on the S. S. 10-3, we made new friendships and cemented old ones, profiting immensely by our association with the students who endeavor to live up to the high standards erected for them by Father Duffy. It is an honor and privilege to be numbered among these students. Two years before the Aloysian mast have instilled in our hearts and minds ideals, which the officers hope will remain with us always and become part of our code of life. Commanded by a splendid captain. Miss Meyer, and seven competent officers, Sister Helen Edward, Sister Alexine, Sister Dorothy Louise. Miss Keegan, Mr. Keegan, Mr. Hearns, and Mr. Broderick, we successfully evaded the reefs occasionally found in the waters of Sophomore Year, and escaped unscathed from our encounters with Geometry and second year Latin. Confident of success in our quest, and ever grateful to those who rendered us willing assistance, we continue to pursue the distant and elusive horizon. - - AIAIYSIAN Page Sevenzy five
