V Class History One bright sunny day of September, 1939, sixty-three of us young hopefuls, armed with an eighth grade diploma and a gener- ous dose of ambition, assembled at the portals of St. Casimir High School. Shy at the beginning, we gradually became acquainted with our new teachers, friends, and surroundings of the abode, which for four ensuing years was to be the place of our pursuit of educa- tion. For the first time we have been exposed to such intricate and mysterious subjects as Latin and Algebra, fortunately with no dis- astrous results. Eye and bye we came in closer contact with the upper classmen by participating in the various school activities. The inevitable initiation found us expectedly unprepared. To this day we can still feel the sting of it! We contributed a number to the Christmas program; however, how disappointed we were to f nd out that our alleged histrionic talent was just an allusion. How well we remember the after-school dances, at which some of us took lessons in dancing very seriously. Owing to our reputation as actors, we were engaged as stage hands for the annual Senior Play. The Com- mencement Week found us eager as ever to honor the departing Seniors by contributing to the combined program of the other classes. A trip- to Belle Isle and our first year in high school comes to an end. . . . Toute passe. On September 9, we again returned less enthusiastic, however, but with a taint of sophistication. In addition to our decrease in zest and zeal we also suffered a drop in number. That year we had the honor of having Sister Valencia as our homeroom teacher for two weeks, due to the illness of our beloved Sister Cajetan. Oh! sweet revenge. Never have we experienced the sensation to the full until we initiated the Freshmen. Months, weeks, days went flying by, the monotonous succession of class periods broken by occasional school assemblies, programs, dances, and other school activities. That year we were the honorable recipients of the Merit Cup. Once again the school ended with the usual ttmajowkait at Belle Isle. . Toute passe. After a blissful and carefree summer we again returned in the fall to resume our studies. That year our social activities had grown fuller. We had the privilege of attending the Senior Prom and of sponsoring the Senior-Junior Banquet and the Senior Breakfast. Some of us were honored by being permitted to take an active part in the Senior Play. We were a jolly crowd, full of innocent mischief Page sixteen
