Graduation Over, four precious years! And now there rings The knell of parting and regret; Farewell! Now happy memory glows and clearly brings A depth of tenderness we cannot tell. Center of ardent longings and bright hopes, Loved refuge of young souls with great desires, Our High School’s hallowed halls breathe forth their love Which softly swells our hearts, our being inspires. Over, those happy years! Ah, well we know The Power that guides us forth upon our way; Aye, let us once more gaze upon those walls That harbored our young lives and cheered our stay. Years rich in harvest gain we hope to see, Renown and honor for our school to gain; Her splendor,—our true worth and moral strength, And then, fore’er in perfect bliss to reign. —BEATRICE PORRELLO [14]

Class Officers EDMUND FRANCIS O'CONNOR Bud, the President of our class, has more than measured up to the high requirements of this position both as a student and a star athlete. He displayed remarkable abil- ity both as an end on the football team and as a member of the New England Catholic Basketball Tournament. As trumpeter in the school orchestra throughout his four years he has enhanced the success of our weekly assemblies. May you long continue, Bud, in the line of success. MARTHA WINIFRED MILLS Martha, our diminutive, alive Vice-President, has fig- ured in practically all our activities. She was one of the most loyal of friends, and most studious of students, with a flair for friendship that has given her a great retinue of followers. With a knack of knowing how to do every- thing and with ambition to do it, no work in life should prove too rocky for Martha. MARION JULIA McTIGHE Marion’s sincerity and frankness, her sympathy and help as secretary have won her the deference and affection of students and teachers alike. She gave her loyal support to our athletic teams and was very active in all the social affairs. Marion plans to enter Teachers College and we know she will be very successful because she has one of the highest scholastic ratings in our class. cc ROBERT FRANCIS O'NEIL Bob is a rare combination of sincerity, frolic and fun. As Class Treasurer he has been most attentive to duty, while in Basketball he has been quite outstanding. His reassuring smile gains him an entrance to all groups, and in the years to come we feel that it will enable Bob to conquer any difficulties in his path. With regret we take leave of him and wish him only the best. [16]
