0,65 LJ Ol' . i Hy lJONAI.I7 ciRONlN, lfttfxwczus CiARDlNliR, lD0l.OllES KOWALSKI, AND Uraomziz illAlKiAl2l ln reviewing our days at St. liencdict Iligh, we look back to recall many happy memories. As we reminisce over these past liour years that we spent here, we have come to the conclusion that the time has flown only too quickly. l'iIRESlIlXlliNZ ln September I9-13, we, a group of bet wildered lireshmen, entered the halls of St. Benedict l ligh School lor the iirst time. VVe felt somewhat uneasy walking past the upper-classmen with our stacks ol' new textbooks. 'lihe subjects that seemed so foreign and remote now were a reality as we struggled with Latin translations and algebraic problems. Football, basketball, skating parties, and dances were a major part of this veir t . Somiotxtottusz Upon entering our second year of high school we carried with us little knowledge of the future. Could it be true that this was to be the toughest test of our high school career? Ur was this merely a legend handed down lirom year to year to deceive the up and coming, inexperienced freshmen? Much to our dismay we discovered the former statement one of truth rathei than that ol' legendary degree. 'lulius Caesar would have cursed the day he wrote about Roman lmperialism in Ciaul il' he had been able to listen in on one of our many lfnglish interpretations of his Latin writings. ln October ol' this same year both Sophomore classes enjoyed a weiner roast at Palmer Park. Our sophomore year will always remain memorable. IIIINIORSI Our junior year brought with it the realif fation that we were at last oi' some importance in our school. lirom the very lirst day of school, we began to launch our campaign to make this year's junior4Senior Prom the most memorable one St. Benis had ever wit- nessed. With hcartlelt enthusiasm we aimed to put across this important alliair and that of the juniorASenior Ilan- quet which was to be a separate celebration in the parish hall. Our time was taken up with the planning ol. skat' ing parties and dances, the proceeds ol' which went into our fund for the success ol' these two events. Vile began with selling Christmas cards and as a result made im pressive figures in our bank book. Our combined eilorts made it possible for our class to have the prom at the VVardell-Sheraton. Wliiit with football and basketball games to hold our interest the junior year passed swilitly and proved itself the most pleasant year we had yet experienced. SEN1ons: We accepted the title Seniors with the realization that bellore long our high school days would be mere memories. As the months passed we participated in various class activities including our liriday night dances and a skating party. Perhaps, everyone will agree that the highlight oi' the winter was our very successlul toboggan party. As the year was passing only too quickly, we tried to make the most ol' the last liew months. ln the spring our wonderful play, l.!Yl'Cl'lllL'V and Old l acc, became our greatest interest. VVe looked eagerly forward to the day of Commencement but also with a hidden sorrow in our hearts. The thought that soon we would be part of St. Benedictis history brought unashamed tears to our eyes, and we lielt, with a pang ol' regret, that our school days were ended forever. llowever, we have one consolation. VVe can always remember that last year in school as the most enjoyable one we had ever experienced. During these memorable years ol' our high school career, we have formed within our souls a greater devo' tion towards Cod and a keener outlook lor our unknon n liuture. hloulding our characters was the chiel' duty ol' our teachers and they have completed this obligation with unequalled skill. Our today is gone, our tomorrow is here. hlay these tomorrows be full ol' the golden promise which a well-spent lille will reap.
