Then June arrived, and with'it we bade our Junior days TTAdieuh and welcomed the TTWonder YeaiJ' when we were to be no longer TTJolly Juniors but TTSerious Seniors . umnnm Ihnnu: I'l'ITl rHLDIJJlUIUlllUILl'I The Night We were Seniors; our cherished dreams came true. The sacred precincts of Room 306 were ours to make the most of! What could be sweeter? Much to our chagrin, we found ourselves unable to act the superior and TThigh-hat', part we had practiced during the summer, but we got along just as well without it, thank goodness! Enthusiasm marked the days of this last year. Our minds refreshed from time to time by happy diversions delved deeper into the mysteries of book-lore. At times this would seem tiresome to hear if we were not amply repaid when on the feast of St. Casimir we got our class rings. For a considerable time henceforth gloves were entirely discarded, and the hands always placed so as to display clearly the new jewelry. Another important fact in our class history is the Seniors gift which as a token of gratitude and appreciation we offered to Alma Mater. We certainly felt big whenever we looked at the steel filing cabinet bearing the tell-tale plate, Class 0f 31? Every hour Was bringing us nearer to that day of days when, as in a dream, we donned the cap and gown for our Graduation! How sorrowfully we left school on that last school day and gazed sadly at the scarred desks for the last time! In the space of a few hours we were graduated. The cap and gown had performed their duty. The TTPerfect Dayh of our school career was done. Gradu- ation, the Hbrief nighth, was not without its ecstasy and its promise of greater joys. Looking back over this period of our high school career, we do not wish to change even one single moment of that happy TTdayh! ulunmlunnmHn-mu mIImlIIIII.lunnmnnlmnm m. unu-.uunnnIllnnnlnnnnunrrn Illhllllllllvuu llllllllllll Illlllllllllll -I LLLllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllIIlllllllllllllllllllllll --Leona M.

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

ulnlnllnHunnnmn flllIlIHlIIII-Hl InInInHIllInIIllul lllllllllllllllllllll Class Will 6w E, the Class of ,31 of St. Casimir High School, being well impressed with the realization that our days are numbered, and having no longer any use for the various accessories used during the hill-climb into our rightful inheritance of manhood and womanhood, being possessors now of intellectual minds and physical fitness to combat the hard and rough byways of the world, do hereby declare this to be our first scholastic Will and Testament in the manner follow- ing: We, the Senior Class, knowing well that if fortune continues to look favor- ably upon us until June, our present confreres and those to be enrolled in the opening of the next semester will be deprived of the benefits accrued from contact with this able body, and being solicitous to tender a few last words, hereby make the following bequests: To our beloved Pastor we commend the guidance of Class ,32 and hope that he may remain years as the spiritual pilot of our Alma Mater. To the members of the faculty we extend a message of affection and sincere appreciation for their untiring efforts in promoting our education, their tolerance of our deficiencies, and their kindly consideration for us on all occasions. May they enjoy the quiet and peacefulness that will follow in our absence. We give and bequeath to the members of the Class of ,32 that feeling of satisfaction which comes when good work is accomplished and knowledge is gained by the employment of hours which might otherwise be spent in the pursuit of idle pleasures. We give also our desks made valuable by the memory of our dignified presence. Especially do we further leave our ability of getting in and out of troubles path tmOstly ini, and the calmness with which we bow to fate when our reports aresent with their inevitable WES? To the Sophs we leave our proficiency in bluffing and taking life easy, lest taken seriously it be too burdensome. To the Freshies we bequeath our common sense and brilliant intellect, also the hope that next year they return to the halls of dear Alma Mater bereft of their greenness and in full bloom as worldly-wise students. To the Student Body in general we leave the hope that the true friendships and loyalty which have distinguished their school days at St. Casimir continue throughout their lives. We hereby take leave, keeping only that which we cannot bestow, 'wrnany memories? In testimony whereof we have caused this Will to be subscribed and sealed in the month of May, 1931.
