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. Poniatowska ,31 3r: ......... Page 18 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ,

School Clubs THOUGH our St. Casimir High School exists but four years, it boasts of seven active clubs. The most prominent of these are the HSt. Casimirts Pride ,Club and the hPioneer Club . The ttSt. Casimifs Pride Chili, was formed in 1927. All high school mem- bers must belong to the club, or else he or she is not a student of the school. The chief purpose of this organization is to give the students an opportunity to get acquainted with each other, to encourage cooperation between the different classes for the welfare of the whole school and to have them share the school news'and social activities together. The meetings are held every month, and are conducted in regular parliamentary procedure. Programs, both recreational and educational, form a part of the meeting. The staff of officers consists of pres- ident, secretary, treasurer, and assistant librarian. The officers for 1931 are Martha M. Jozefowicz, president; B. Joseph Kempisty, secretary; Anthony L. Szychowski, treasurer; and Marianne L. Podlesna, assistant librarian. With the closing of the scholastic year of 1931 the 3Pioneer Clulf rounded out its fourth year as a vital part of the activities of the school. For four years the club has been promoting the interests of its members and preparing the FIRST GRADUATES for their final parting from the folds of Alma Mater. In addition to these two big organizations there are several others limited to the different classes and subjects. Among these is the JUNIOR 111N133, the Junior Class Club. Then too, there are the fTunto Club and ULiterary Clulf of which the students of the English courses are members. The Sophomore Class Club is called uSigma Kappa? The youngest club which the Freshmen from sec- tions 304 and 302 form goes under the name of ttAspirantsW Yea for S. C. Hi! Hurrah for its clubs! Letts work and show what stuff wetre made of!
