PHOTOS Serene the mobile features bide, Full-lipped, aglow, and tender-eyed, As if through roseate hues of vision They form at last their great decision; A jubilant throng, away they go To destined life work here below. —MARILYN SWIFT WAAR APA AIA AANA

Class of Thirty-eight My heart aches, and a lonely feeling steals Within my soul at thought of what has passed, Yea more, for what the future still conceals, E’en though it be rose-strewn unto the last; Four happy years we came and went anon, Wrought wonders in the school of science and art, Alas! these happy days have sped forth hence, To lasting realms they’re gone, Until angelic trumpets play their part, And lead us to benign Omnipotence. Oh! to return to freshman’s carefree hours, When glowing spirits heard the pealing bell; Sophomore days when we reevaled our powers, That blossomed yearly till the graduate knell Had brought an end to all our youthful mirth; An end—oh! may it not, indeed, be true That these dear pastimes have forever flown From out our stay on earth; Yea, rather, may the future years renew The gladsome happy days that we have known. BARBARA FLYNN [14]

Class Officers JOSEPH PAUL NEITHERCUT “And one there was among us ever moved. Among us in white armor.” Joseph has been one happy, genial president for two years. How heartily his laugh rang out ever and anon amid the somber atmosphere of stu- dent life. Studies even couldn’t dull the sprightliness of his humor. So was it in the past; so may it be in the future. We know Joe will be a success, and to start him on his way, we offer him our sincere, good wishes. MARGARET HELEN ROGAN “The smile that wins the tints that glow, But tell of days itn goodness spent.’ Margaret with simple grace and charm, has led the class for two years as Vice-President. Never has she been second to any in furthering the inter- ests of her companions; and it is with great pleasure that we attribute to her ingenuity and tact, the successful outcome of many socials. May these same talents steer you directly, Mar- garet, to the goal of great achievements. MARY MARGARET O’CONNOR “She’s never haughty, she’s never proud, “But popular in every crowd.” You've never seen Mary in a hurry. We know the last bell will ring soon, when we see her rush into class. She is one of our most popular girls and, as a class officer, has been one of the best. Serious application to study has enabled her to make a creditable record, which we know will help her im- mensely in her future studies. ROBERT JOSEPH FOLEY “So run that you may obtain the prize.” Perhaps no one in the class has been more willing to give time and assistance to every school activity; and if you please, Bob is also a ‘‘gentle- man of the press.”’ As class treasurer, he has kept the budget well balanced. In sports he excelled notably in track. Bob is running the race well. He is loyal, gentlemanly, courteous and kind. We know, Bob, that you will continue to run well the 440, along the course of life right down the Home Stretch. [16]
