The group known as Room 303 earned the Merit Cup for scholastic achievements for the entire year. hsix times in a11.h Sophomore Year 1935 - 36 September 9, 1935, thirty ambitious sophomores re- . turned to bury their noses in their beloved Books. Helen Fabiszak and Joseph Janiga left our midst, the former for the Felician Sisters' Academy to be a nun and the latter for St. Mary's College to be a priest. Revenge is sweet!' We had the honor of initiating the New Comers! Junior Year 1936 - 37 September 3, 1936, twenty-six jolly Juniors decided to again attempt to crash the gates of knowledge.

Returns proved very,4 very satis- factory. , 7 In the latter part of the Junior year we looked for- ward to the Senior - Junior banquet which is an annual custom put forth by the Juniors. It was a great suc- cessl ' The Class of '37 gave us the privilege of publishing the June issue of the Casmirette . Senior Year 1937 - 38 tSeptember 8, '1937, twenty-four serious-minded, stu. dious students, dohned with the name of Seniors , ran down the last stretch'of the vrace of knowledge hoping for the award of the golden trephy of learning. Early in the year afencing, archery and dancing were' introduced to the girls while the boys were acquainted with sabering, fencing and arabian tumbling under the instruction of Miss Swanson and Mr. Alexander. October will long be remembered for the colorful, costumed Halloween Party. ' NovemberedWith no special occasion to commemorate we eagerly awaited the coming of Christmas holidays. We celebrated Christmas with a simple luncheon, after which gifts and cards were exbhanged. ' After what the teachers called a ' VaCation , we were forced to return to our dusty seats and bury ourselves in our books. , h .V January with its cold, chilly'mornings gave us its breezy blow when on January 10th 'we Valmost' froze to frazzles. The boilers broke! And Hurrah! We were sent home. Page .22 THE CASMIRECHO 1938 The arrival of our class rings although belated was welcomed by all on January 17th. The following day, Professor Kinsella of the Univer- sity of Detroit honored us with a little boy's version of the story of Samson and Delilah among other things. After many days of preparation for the annual afa fair the Senior Prom, our efforts were at last rewarded on unday, January 23rd, when the attendance numbered' more than 400. With Karl Speeth directing the orchestra more than 600 rhythmic feet tripped the light fantasticn on the floor of our auditorium. The returns from this event were so satisfactory that we tClass of '38i f were able to furnish the publication office with an elitetype typewriter and a steel cabinet which accomodates the mi- meOSCOpe, mimeograph, typewriter and eccesories used in' mimeographing. Another distinguished speaker,1 Professor' Alvin O'- Konsky, visited us on February 7th. His theme was that ever debated subject, Communism . . t ' The Boy's Basketball team won the Third Division West Side Championship for the third successive time. ' The Girls' Basketball team had a fair season under the direction of Miss Costello. On Sunday, March 3rd, the Juniors generously treated us to the play entitled, Fantasy of the Passion at Holy Redeemer. Thanks a million! Gratias! In the course of our preparations for graduation the boys had their pictures taken at Arthur's Studio, on April 5th. The following day, the snow did not keep the girls from doing the same. The very popular play, An Old Fashioned Mother was. presented to a packed house on three successive days, with the final performance on May 15th. , An initial event to be celebrated hereafter annually, was the Alumni Day, celebrated on June'5th, the Sunday fefore Commencement Day. On this day the Seniors, in their caps and gowns, accompanied by the Alumni and the student body received Holy Communion.

The certificate of uenber- ship was signed by ArchbishOp Beckman of Dubuque, as Chairman, Monsignor Frank Thill, as past Secretary Trea- surer and Archbishop McNicholas, of Cincinnati, as prew sident. Today, Very Reverend Monsignor Freking, D. D. is the Secretary Treasurer. The work of Mission crusaders consisted principelxy of prayers for missions, and the collecting of leade foil and cancellee stamps. The meetings were enlivened by occasional plays and songs, directed by Sister Mary Raynelda, moderator from September, 1935 - June, 1937. With the year 1937-38 the crusade activities became more pronounced. In accordance with the wishes of Arch- bishop Edward Mooney and with the permission of our pastor, Reverend Edward Maisel, money offerings were made for the missions. Wednesday became Mission Sacrifice Day and some Crusaders responded generously. A mission bulletin board was set aside for posting intentions, notices, mission calendars, colorful and attractive designs and cut outs by Mildred Nowosatko, the president of the U- nit, never failed to draw the attention of passing stu- dents and visitors. The students entered into an intensified study of the missions. The round table plan was adOpted.

For their second study they chose The Negro American with the same students as chiefs. Oceania and The Phil- lipine Islands occupied their minds as final studies, with Anna Lewicke and Irene Borkowska as chiefs. The 40 Juniors were no less ambitious. The Home Missions of the Southwest proved a very absorbing mission study to the Junior groups with Virginia Budna and Irene Strzolkowska as chiefs. Models of mission chapels along El Camino Real, Missionary Catechists and first commue nicants,interior of a chapel with complete miniature al- tar, Southwest, all formed part of a fascinating mission display on which a number of Junior round tablers colw laborated. Far off China missions were the field of study for the Sophomore girls with Florence Bien as chief. ' The crowning event of the mission activities for the year was a debate on the subject: Resolved; That the growth of Christianity among the Negroes of the U- nited States can be advanced most rapidly through cul- tural advancement along racial lines. Eleanore Kujawa, I 1938 THE CASEIRECHO Page 29 Ladislave Basta, and Salome Antecka upheld the affirmaa tive. The negative was deftly handled by Edward Kumor, Walter Izworski and Edward Eweld. Members of the facul- ty and the Seniors acted as judges. The highest degree in the Crusade, that of Paladin Leader was conferred on 10 Crusaders, In-all.81.degrees were granted during the year 1937e38. 56 Paladin Compa- nions, 15 Paladins with Merit and 10 Paladin Leaders. It is the hOpe and prayer of St. Oasimir Mission Crusaders and their moderator, Sister Mary Evangeline, that, first' 1y, more graduates will enter the mission fields and that more stars will be added to the lone one on the St. Casimir Mission Service flag, secondly, that all gra- duates become veteran members of the Crusade, and of the' Society for the PrOpagetion 0f the Faith and thirdly, that prayer and sacrifice for missions will become a part of their lives. The harvest, indeed, is great but the workers are few . Anna LeWicka Sec'y of the Unit 1937-38 You may forget the happy days That you have spent in school. You may forget the things you've learned And then be called a fool. But whatever some peOple call you Or what in life you may be. Please, remember the missions. Will you?

In the tiny village of Canton, in northern New York, stands Aunt Deborah Underhill's farmhouse. Aunt Deborah is nearly seventy years old, a widow and the mother of four boys and two girls. All of the children, however, have married and moved away with the exception of John and Charley. John 'is the youngest and is led astray by evil companions. The village choir is rehearsing in Aunt Deb's set- tin room . The rehearsal is frequently interrupted by Jeremiah Gosling, a comical country boy always trying to swop something, and by Miss Lowizy Loviny Custard, the romantic old maid who is anxious to recite her original poetry. John brings home a poor exhausted tramp. The tramp tells the story of his life ruined by drink and Aunt Deb gives him money to return to his home inBuffale. 1938 THE CASMIRECHO , Page 31 John takes a vow never to drink again.Charley brings home his fiancee in for tea. Soon the Sheriff is admit- ted. John is arrested and despite his protestations of innocence, dragged away to jail. V Three years pass and no word from John, though his innocence has. been proved and he has been released from jail; Charley persuades his mother to mortgage the old home to give him a start in the city.She does so against the advice of the faithful Gloriana. A merry sleighing party arrives bound for the singing school and the house hold join the party. John totters in a starving home- less tramp. He is about to steal his mother's savings when Enoch Bone, the tramp, now a prOSperous- merchant, intercepts him and starts John-for Oklahoma and a new life. Two years later Aunt Deb is bound for the poorhouse but is saved from the disgrace by the arrival of John, a prosperous and reSpected zinc miner in Oklahoma. COMMENTS No one among the students could have given a bet- ter interpretation of Aunt Deb than Helen U. Who will forget the solicitous Sally A. as Gloriana. Shall we ever find another Jerry and a better doo- daddle than Mitchell's. Joseph 0. and Irene S. seemed to be born into their fantastic roles. . A.Western State couldn't give us a .more -imposing sheriff than Hank M. Mary S. and Rose B.as Widder Bill Pindle and Nellie may not have looked like mother and daughter but they certainly acted like it. We all agreed that Edward M. as the tramp made a good poor starving tramp as well as a prosperous mere chant. We wonder if Edward K. who played John isn't contem- plating the New York stage after graduation. l h h! l I V 7? 1? '. x' $- 7? Page 32 THE CASMIRECHO QUIZ CORNER.
