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.

Class Prophecy $5113 studio of Miss Poniatowski, artist, is restful and peaceful atop the lofty Fisher Building on this perfect afternoon in June, 1946, A. D. I glance out over the cheerful, sunlit city, and recall a similar day some fifteen years ago. The scene is vividly distinct as I see a happy, group of students participating in what to them was a precious and momentous achievementagraduation. For some it was the completion of their school days, for others but a stepping stone toward greater heights in the pursuits of education. Some had no future plans, while a greater number had readily directed their efforts toward definite goals. I wondered how many had attained that pinnacle to which all aspireesuccess. Perhaps a few were still on the way, while others already had it firmly in their grasp. Reflecting thus, I pick up the newspaper and glance listlessly over the pages until, like a response to my ponderings, the sports page presents in striking headlines the names of Anthony Szychowski and Walter Zlotorzynski, the one an athlete, is competing in the present Olympic games, the other is expected to a win swimming laurels for the United States. And now my chest has quite exceeded its normal expansion when I notice a lengthy account of the graduation exercises at the University of Michigan, mentioning a doctors degree conferred upon Leona M. Lewandowska, and an honorary degree awarded to Marianne Podlesna for her accomplishments as a social worker and educator. l When I have scanned the remainder of the paper for further news of my class I decide to take a spin in my new car. My drive finally leads me to the Nasal Flying Field. I am just in time for the return of Francis Nasal himself from one of his non-stop flights to Australia, where he has been giving a series of lectures on theteorology at the South Pole? After heartily greeting each other we begin talking over old times. Francis suggests a hop in a plane, and we go out to experiment with his new invention, a telescopic arrangement which magnifies objects on the earth making them clearly distinct from the air at any altitude. During this flight we pass over Mt. Mercy Hospital where, Francis tells me, the staff includes the famous Doctor R. Brylowski and a distinguished nurse, our Lillian O. Selonke. Over the City Hall we are reminded of Martha M. Jozefo- wicz, who holds an office in the Mayorls cabinet as Director of Public Welfare. XVhy, the Mayor himself is no less a personage than Bill J. Kempisty! It is not such a bad world after all! When we think how kindly the fates have directed the paths of members of the illustrious Class of 1931, we are moved to rejoice and raise our voices in glad hallelujahs! -Helcn M.
