No matter what the ensuing years may bring, be it much of happiness or sorrow, delusion or realization of our fairest hopes, those happy school clays which now are finished and which have passed among the yesterdays, shall always be remembered tenderly, because with them are inseparably bound our most cherished memories. ltStudents of St. Casimirf that title we so proudly claimed, is ours no more; but deep within our hearts is implanted ineffaceably a love that can never die, a love that will grow stronger with the passing of time. Our Alma Mater! What prized associations we have had with thee. VVhat- ever strength of character and admirable qualities we may now possess are due in part to your guidance, and our future lives shall be better spent and more joyful for having come under your influence. You now seem to say to each one of us: llDifficult and untried is the highway along which you shall travel through life; know then these things: Be ever noble and upright with all, and the nobleness that lies in other men will rise to meet your own; march forward unhesitatingly toward the goal you have set for yourself. and tarry not by the wayside; above all, in the sunlight or through the shadows, have the love of God in your heart and faith in His goodness. In the observance of these things lies the fullness of earthly happiness , Thus to all of us. our Alma Mater speaks. Turn not a deaf ear, but consider well her admonitions and adopt them as your precepts. Now, Farewell, dear School; we go. but you shall always be with us. and in the haven of our inemories-s whatever else be forgotten--you will live and flourish. iIl'IlIrv'JHIIIUlllHI'lll'lHllnllllllllllllllllllIIlIIllIllIlllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllullllllnlllllllllnlllllllllllllllllllllllll'HIHHIII mmmnI-Imn m Jui'lhVIIUIUIIUHHIlIIlllIIHIlIIIIlllIHIIHIIHIIHHIIIIIIIIlllIIllllIllIIIllIlllllIH IlllIlllllllIllllIIIlIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllll -B.

IIIIHIIvhlurllHlqu-u mu-v A Perfect Day 95?: UR history has been truly fiperfectii during the. four years of high school, the joys greatly outnumbering and easily overshadowing the few sorrows. XYe are, sure. too, that when a few decades have passed and our gleaming locks are silvered, we shall think of that :fred-letterii day of our lives-a day with a long and sunnv morning, a brief but lovely afternoon, a quick, enthralling evening, and just the briefest but the best of nights. 'IuLllIfII The M orning Trembling with awe and expectation, a group of sixteen anxious ffFroshh gathered in the halls of the newly built St. Casimir High School on October fourth, in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-seven, a most important date tn American History. Right! It was ftVVe'i --But what a contrast to the now sophisticated young men and women of the Class of Thirty-One! NVe were welcomed as the future occupants by our Rev. Pastor, Father E. S; Maisel and assigned to the variousirooms which had requested our presences. From this time on we began to assume the dignity that now characterizes us. The grammar school pupils were quite awed by our superior manner. Among the joys that delighted our childish hearts were those times when we traveled men masset'i to the tfnew bio building, to take active part in the organizat'on 'of the Pioneer Club and enter whole-heartedly into its activities doing our best to further its lofty purposes. Another feature that marked that ..vmmlnuHumImnuuimmmmnumun1mlImlmllnuuuuln' n'rrrmmrrrmmTrrrmTrrmn g, year was the presentation of Bensonis drama, HThe Upper Room? June came at last, and brought its reward for our strenuous efforts in mastering Latin. Science. and other INTERESTING subjects. for we were given ........ our VACATION! Thus ended the sunny morning of our Freshman Year. . llulLLlllllllU11I11Tl11111mtnllltlrl'l'mlIluuuununuuuuunnmnnmlmvunm The Afternoon After having enjoyed two months of pleasure. it was really hard to become adjusted to our new position as Sophomores: Yet to the surprise of our teachers we undauntingly turned to our lessons and tackled them with the vigor and determination to succeed. The first real event that we as the Sophomore Class put on was the annual Freshman Reception in which the Freshmen were initiated into the mysteries of High School life. It was during this year that. we chose our class colors Red and White, which we have retained up to the present time. Then after ten months of battling valiantly side by side with Caesar in his Gallic exped'tions. becoming hopelessly entangled in all manner of geometric figures. mastering with surprising skill other subjects, we emerged triumphantly at last with eight precious credit slips within our graspethe fruit of our efforts for the first two years in High School.

Along with this new title we felt we were advancing on the road of knowl- edge. Of course. as we anticipated, the difficulty of our subjects increased. but with a capable and considerate faculty we were able to attain rather satisfactory grades. Outside the pursuits of our studies, undoubtedly one of the most interesting and important activities was the Thanksgiving Dinner which proved to be a great mm.mumummmmmmnmn ..... mun ........... m ..... :mumnuuiuw H u iIiIIItiI-utIIIHllllVlIlllHIHHIllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllln1 W ' H tallll tum L 5:: KSR$WHUmum.u.ummumuumum agei ?14
