CLASS HISTORY The early Autumn of the year 1927 saw us freshics beginning our history in St. Benedict High School. W'e had completed creditably our grammar school wt rk and were eager to enroll as students in S. B. H. The two months, vacation from studies had elapsed and now the memorable September had arrived. At first we were a little timid. being well aware of the dignity of the occasion, but soen the initial step was taken and we gathered courage. Presently, we were assigned to our home room and work began in earnest. NVe were introduced to Latin, algebra, and the Ancient World, and after a few days we found the new subjects interesting. ln spite of the fact that we were only freshmen we had plenty of fun and enjoyed the sports of each season. XVhile nothing extremely spectacular occurred, we were impressed with the usual round of affairs. Several of our class took leading roles in the school play and one of our members, Harold Ostenfeld, came into prominence and gained renown as a Declaimer in the Michigan Catholic Contest. Harold was also our representative in the State Contest, and we feel proud of him. Midfyear exams, the Lenten Season, and Easter followed in due time and left us ready, as June approached, to close our year with the feeling that All,s well that ends well. Page 'liuurlfj'-f'i,ql11

CLASS HISTORY Were Plutarch living, he would write, without doubt, the history of the class of '30-the most famous, talented, and noteworthy class in the history of S. B. H., past, present, and future. He has dropped his pen to me, however, and bidzlen me sing the praises of my class in a manner worthy of it. I shall do my best. We came to St. Benedictls in September, all eagerness and enthusiasm. NY'e found the curriculum to include religion, geometry, Latin, history, English, and literature. Father Hally, ever solicitous for our spiritual welfare, came in each week to give us instructions in our holy religion. We discussed the great events of history and translated Caesar's Gallic Wars. XVe greatly enjoyed the interesting theorems and problems in geometry and found theme-writing to become interesting as wc became accustomed to it. Football season opened and our class was represented by four members, while the basketball season claimed two of our class. In the Rapid Transitv debate, the sophs again let their light shinef, The Declamation Contestu followed and again noted sophs won distinction. Thus the eventful year closes, and we sophs depart from the portals of our Alma Mater, but not forever.', Next year we shall be dignified juniors, when we shall emulate our previous successes, and add even greater laurels to our already great renown.
