But then, of course she coul n t knowg she had come to St. Casimir's only after the initiation. Well, she had missed some fun, for that was the year when Wgood movies cost us 'kids' only a nickel.N There were a number of field trips too. An old leaf- let dropped from between the leaves of the book Irene held. Picking it up, I discovered it to be an old program from WPol- ished Pebbles.N Between its folds I found an old examination paper dated June, '58. I wondered why I had ever kept that. The next bit of Njunkn proved to be another program--for play we had presented as nwise fools.N I remembered donning a blanket as an Indian in Romance in Other Lands. The Sophomore year brought us Catherine, but proved to be the most reckless of all our years at St. Casimir's. And then dawned the day ushering us into the Junior home room as Juniors. Our Helen hurried from St. Peter's to join us and our Wlone ranger,U Clifford, bounced in from South High to complete the NQuins.W We were promptly dubbed the WUpper Kinder- garten.N by our adviser and firmly believe we faithfully upheld our title with much credit. A newspaper clipping caught my eye. A proud glance at it revealed none other than me. On my poor humble heart had been bestowed the honor of lead in the Seni- or play, HERE COMES CHARHE. And I remember being told I carried the part with credit to my class. Before we could whisper NJack Robinson,N we entered our last year as Seniors. Of course, this is the year which in Sep- tember seemed to stretch far, far before us, but by May seemed the shortest road yettraveled. There were the organization of our school council, the formation of our club units, a 'basket ball team for the girls, the work consequent to the desire of producing a yearbook and class play. Yes, yes indeed, there's graduation too. And on June 15, we shall relinquish our claim to the title of Senior Class and bestow it upon our successors, the present Juniors...oh goodness! I came to earth from my day- dreaming.

I passed the new high school building about a week ago, and they're building ANOTHER NEW WING--aeronautics divi- sion or something. I didn't get much time to notice too closelyg you know how fast that new superplane of Helen Jencka's flies. Time does make such changes! Yes, time changes all things. I picked up the school weekly magazine and noticed that a new tennis court is roof of the new commercial wing. being erected on the llaughingl Which is a reminder--remember the Junior boys back in '41 trying to convert the old school yard into a court? That was funny! Yes, wasn't it? Don't you think it was grand of that class though, years later to donate funds for a gym? And some gym! Imagine stretching it a whole block.

It'll pro- bably be the last book I'll write after I finish the nHistory of St. Casimir's.N And what are you doing with your- self? Still running around building hospitals for the poor?

What we want of our youth is so to know about God and His will Through Christ, that they will possess that virtue of right liv- ing, deeply grounded upon a Christian training of mind, heart, will, and body.W The purpose of education is right action and Christian con- duct. Yet, outside the Church, how often this, the main thing, is overlooked. If the end of education is virtue, if character is indispensable, while knowledge is only useful, then it fol- lows that religion should enter into the process of education, because religion, more than any other vital influence, has power to create, nurture, to inspire conduct, and to mould character. The Catholic Church realizes that moral and religious training of the will, and an understanding and appreciation of religion are a necessary part of the individual's education, and the Church has also instilled this into the hearts of all Catho- lic parents, that the right place for the child is in a Catholic school where religion becomes a living part of him. Religious knowledge is the most vital for the pupil, for above all, he is a creature of God, and he is bound in no uncer- tain way to worship and obey Him as his Creator. His duties to God stand before all other duties. The home, the school, and the Church must each furnish its share of religious instruction and training. The work of all three is needed: however fre- quently the burden of training the young Catholic heart leaves the home completely, to be taken up by the willing teachers of the Church, religious consecrated to the sacred task of spread- ing the teachings of the Teacher Who commanded them to Wteach all whatsoever I have commanded you.' And who is more capable to teach youth to find the way to the Feet of God of Love on.... a Cross than those whose entire life is spent at the foot of that very Cross? And who can better teach youth the lessons of love of God than those who are consumed with this love? Shall Catholic parents be blind to the danger in which they place their offspring and the future of their nation by depriving them of the opportunity to be taught the true sense of values? Shall youth be allowed to forget that there are things far more valu- able and joys more lasting that are equally easy of attainment-- joys that are more complete than those scattered along the path leading to eternal perdition? Surely not. We who have been privileged to live in the sun of sound Catholic teaching believe we are prepared for a future which will certainly call for more religion than was ever needed be- fore. Religion is the panacea for the world's ills! Kg.

It was at least one day that this city of ours illustrated a piece of beautiful poem--Low- ell's. Remember: If 'W I I The snow had begun in the gloaming, And busily all the night Had been heaping field and highway With a silence deep and white. School was all Ha-hustle and a-hustlen just because it had snowed. There was a great deal of brushing off of snow and snow balls which had barraged us before we were able to dodge them. I'll wager European troubles would be solved pronto if Saint Casimir's warriors entered the conflict. The . bell rang, not with a loud and disturbing sound, but just a soft tingle which was faintly audible throughout the three story building. Classes commenced. With the outdoors beckoning, it was difficult to keep our minds on the lessons at hand. Facts entered into one auditory channel and escaped through the other. First class dragged on.... Again the bell, this time announcing finis of the first class. But Nwoe are we,N for P. D. followed. Exerting much, much energy, I dimly recall a lesson about the U.S. possessionsg but as for me, I was content to stay right in Pittsburgh and wouldn't trade all the precious Pittsburgh snow for Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the rest of 'em. The next period hurried in--one eagerly awaited by almost all students with eager anticipation. Ah--a study period! A chance to drift off without fear of reproach. Needless to say, this period literally files by--the bell again: shorthand, the study of those funny scribblings we try our utmost to de- cipher, was next. After a week-end it seemed as tho' all know- ledge of the signs had vanished. A laborious forty-five min- utes revived everything forgotten. The welcome sound of bell taps informed us that another Monday morning had come to an end. English and typing sessions slipped by with unbelievable rapidity. We turned in our assignments, or at least some reason- able imitations of such, for which we hoped to receive a grade. Had the day been uneventful? Far from it! It is just such days as these which, added, equal an education. Thru' years of these seemingly uneventful days in school, we are prepared for a full life ahead. --Irene Bazys, '41 - nineteen - K J. -1 941 . fic, I suppose it would be best to begin my story lif we can call it a story! from the very beginning, so that is where I'll commence. Only one warning--this is the tale of Q Junior. I do not mean here to typify a Junior. My story does not pertain to all the Juniors, although it might easily be adapted to such a purpose. Well, if I don't stop, I'll never get to the begin- ning where I'm supposed to start. So, shall I stop this Hdally- ingn and get down to, shall we say, Hbrass tacks.N At the stroke of eight this Junior rolls out of bed. Dressing, he keeps an ear open for the mailman--Perhaps an N.Y.A. check, maybe a long-awaited letter from Nher.N At pre- cisely 8:40 he trudges off to school. He enters the building. After a series of Ngood morningsn to friends and classmates, he saunters into the typing room, a favorite haunt of his. What's this? Someone is doing his religion activity and has left his paper here. Well, the little Junior lacks this assignment. Taking a sheet, he inserts it into the machine and types away. Cpardon the change of tenses7. Bell sounds. He wears a smile --safe for this period at least. Because this Junior Kfor- tunatelyj occupies a last seat, he reads assiduously a book he has brought for the purpose. While the commercial shorthand scribblers scramble for pads, and the academics flock out for P.D., this general Junior takes a welcome study period. This stands in good stead for the preparation of history. Again-- what Sister calls Nthe voice of Godn--the bell! Reluctantly he leaves study period, very reluctantly, for he leaves the pleasant company of several fair specimens of S.C.H.S. lassies. History does not, by any means, fly by. But he does learn the very trivial fact that some brilliant or insane king ascended a throne at the tender age of fifteen and, having ruled by proxy, eventually followed the road of all mortals--he died! The bell! He leaps for the door! He is accosted by, nat- urally, the teacher. nwhere is he goingn is the logical quest- ion to ask. Before the larynx can emit a suitable reply, he is informed that English is scheduled Hin this room--now.H That settles it, and sullenly he oozes back to his seat. While the teacher, bursting with enthusiasm, tells of rhymes and meters, hims and hers, and this and that, he is busily doing something else. He may be engrossed in one of many things. If by some rare chance he seems to be watching the teacher, he is intent on thoughts of his own--far from the classroom. Some- times he just doodles away, more frequently he gives tomorrow's religion activity a prominent place. Most frequently, however, a good book serves a very good purpose. - twenty - SCI-IS! Suddenly--another y bell! Lunch! A Joyful reprieve from scholastic duties! The afternoon he should begin with Spanish, however, he has been ejected from this delightful class for the trivial matter of singing FRENESI while looking at the little blonde next to him. Oh well, life CAN be cruel. And so--he begins the afternoon very nvagabondishlyn--a walk to the lab, a pause before the bulletin board, a journey to the library, a bit of time spent in serious converse with a few of the fairer ones. Typing period rolls around for this Junior. Funny, how fast this period slips away., While he is busy tapping the keys, the academics are performing some insignificant operation on a worm or a frog or a grasshopper. Last period--maybe a class meeting, maybe a practice type, maybe Cbutthis is rare! a serious prep- aration for next day's lesson. At 2:59 p.m. he begins to exclaim in no uncertain terms that it's time for the bell. Finally comes the welcome sound and another hectic school day has gone on its way, leaving but a memory. Prayers! A conference with the Wgangn on plans for the eveng --bowling, skating, just plain walking with Nnicen Cvery niceb company. Then, of course, there's always Joe's, that sweet little place to take Wher.N It's these nights that really make him forget his school worries, and yet, before he knows it, the night has sneaked in- to Past Time and he is back again in.... Ivo Vo Ja, '42 o 5Oph's mgnday Getting up early makes me the crossest person in creation or does it? And why? Well, because it's Monday with a whole week of school ahead--homework, study period CAren't we happy, though about them?D and then more work. Well, anyway, it's Sophs' Monday. Classes begin at 8:45 sharp with all Sophs. We hope and pray that God wouldn't inspire the teacher to ask for our week- end assignments. But alas, how could God fail her? Before we can breathe freely, we hear that finality of tone asking us CFoor,Dears!J to have our work ready for correction. By the way this is a religion assignment and so we have it--fortunately. One period finished so quickly! The morning which had seemed so - twenty-one - is -1 941 whole-heartedly so that we might have joy at the end of the day in the thought that we have tried our very best--one of Sister's lessons to us. Ring--ing--g--g--the 9:50 bell, and here comes English We seem to be struggling with monstrous compound-complex sentences, yet before we know it, the short period of grammar is gone and a period of social letter writing greets us. Is there fun--or is there, trying to fill up the mailman's bag--and when will it ever end? But with all this drab we do find a part of the period of much interest for we have a few Sophs giving what oral speeches they can with the usual criticisms from the floor. We all enjoy this except the speakers. Oh, there's the bell again! It's lO:l5. Good!--a study period! We certainly do wait for this, but it passes so much more quickly than our other periods. The last period of the morning drags on--Spanish. Sight translations, vocabulary, Spanish reading, and Irregular Verbs! And what irregularities! Even the passing of time gets that way--unbalanced--we mean the tick of time seems to go backward instead of forward. Classes in the afternoon rush on and we hear the squeak of the pens and the sharpening of pencils again humming through the room. But isn't this Algebra? Yes, of course. How can we ever mistake it for anything else when Sister is very adroitly asking nWhat rules will you recall in trying to simplify expressions containing fractional exponents?n We often wonder why fractions were ever considered as exponents. It's bad enough to multiply X2 by x4 but when it comes to xi by xi --well.... Business Braininv! Here we relax a little and discuss freely. We Sophomores Q2 like business training. Bang! Chemistry enters--certainly with an awful bang --it seems to shoot through our minds, leaving little time for day-dreaming. Lab experiments are plentiful--and so are ioding and vaseline. What is that we hear, nToday we are going to prepare laughing gas, but be careful for NH4 N05 is a highly ex- plosive compound when heated.H Are we careful? Yes, indeed! Cautiously we perform our experiments successfully much to our chagrin, for we DID want to hear that Q AN Q! And oh, it's 5:00 and time to leaveg so farewell, now, until the dawn of Tuesday. --Celia Bazys, '45 - twenty-two - L i f, I e SCi-152' Unrouflfv ihfee Wears The first week at Saint Casimir's was one of heavenly peace but from then on--oh! Our formidable opponents, Latin, algebra, science, and history, stared us in the face. Well, we managed to leave the fray victorious. The launching of a varsity basket- ball team into the Catholic League remains as the outstanding event of this first school year. This it was which gave us school spirit.

During this term the school council was organizedg various clubs met during a Friday activities period introduced into the schedule. Our home room unit took upon itself the res- ponsibility of sponsoring dances. Never before did such changes occur among us. It seems that the entire class Cincluding the most conservative students? went on a year-long spree. we grew up Cthough our adviser insisted we were her ULower Kindergartenn or less than thatlg we became interested in other things besides studies. And from our midst was chosen the lead for the l94l class play, MEET THE FOLKS. And we can't omit our growing in- terest in WJoe's Place.N And now June is in sight and we look forward to bearing the proud title of Seniors. --F. Zielinskag A. Madeja, '42 NFor all men the law of work is plain, It gives them food, strength, knowledge, vict'ry, peaceg It makes joy possible, and lessens paing From passion's lawless power it wins release, Confirms the heart, and widens reason's reign, Makes man like God, whose work can never cease.N --Bishop Spalding - twenty-three - r i pg J ' 'I 9 41 tWO years A Sophomore! What a thrill! Now it seemed our life became slightly easier Cwe thoughtl. But work must make the world go 'round, because we certainly received plenty of it. Probably the most favored of subjects was--and still is-- Chemistry, with lab periods of course, since we performed exper- iments to our hearts' content and to the discomfiture of our es- teemed fellow Casimirites. However, it was very exciting to make our own e uipment after we learned the art of glass-blowing and shaping ?a little anywayl. It brought to our minds the every day miracles that happen around us in this puzzling world of ours. Everything seems to be miraculous, and yet it happens. From the most favored we traveled to the other extreme--to such subjects as English, Spanish, B. T.Kmerely Business Train- ingl and to that mysterious realm where a pl does not equal to a good dessert. But work was not the only interest. Pleasure, in the form of newly-arrived Fresh, spelled positive exhilaration. We couldnft work dreaming of that glorious day--Initiation Day. It arrived. A beautiful day--even if the Freshies didn't think so. That night we slept peacefully, but only for a while. Soon after, a Student Council had been formed and officers were selected for class representation. With this it seemed various activities got under way. Of course our basketball team fbless 'eml started, the seasonal activities--games, dances, skating parties. We, toq as Sophs decided to try our hand at sponsoring a dance. Remember the way we secured the services of a popular orchestra and how everybody had a splendid time!! But joys cannot last long. With the advent of Lent we were once more beset by that demon--work. As vacation drew closer, work piled up. Gne ray of hope remained. Once more we decided to hold a big dance--Corchestra and ' , ... alllll Now we are looking forward happily to the dance, the picnic... and the close of school which will leave us Juniors. We're hap- py! And why not??

Room A is a large room and must be, for the number of freshies it roomed this year was ex- actly thirty-six. The first very important thing which happened was what made us Wfeel at homen--initiation! Oh, that day--November 152 Never will a freshie forget it. Short-trousered, curly-haired boys and pigtailed, foolish looking girls! And then auditorium- appearance--before all the upperclassmenlon trial! Blindfolded! We looked like Human Jelly Rolls after our bath in jam 'and flour. Paprika--limburger cheese and finally it was over. If the NSophsn could give it, we Freshies certainly showed them we could take it in real Freshie fashion. Some time later we took a trip out to the City Council, but being Freshmen and not too scholarly, we left the meeting not a little bored. Then Dickey Wallace got a bright idea--in December. A Christmas tree! Exchange of gifts, vacation. January. Febru- ary--and a Saint Valentine's Party. Easter...June.

But, woe is me -- here I am, a senior, minus all the wisdom I once had regarded as a veritable requisite for seniordom. New, don't misunderstand me, for I actually have learned something. I have learned te cherish things dearer and more precious than mere book knowledge. I have learned that love is the greatest treasure in lifeg and the only one which lives as long as eternity. I have learned the meaning of friendship and of joy, of sorrow and of sympathetic understanding.

If we were to put our Johnnies, Al- berts, Frank, Emily, Mary Alyce, Flo, Marge, and all the rest of the class into a bag and shake it well, I wonder if we could pull out Lancelot, Gareth, Arthur, Elaine, Lynette, Gui- nevere, and the rest of the Court of Camelot. Maybe we would get our ideals mixed a little and pull out a Miniver Cheevey or a Scarlett O'Hara rather than a knight or a fair lady. It would be romantic, if funny, to see our boys parading around school and elsewhere in knightly garb--and to see our girls in those long, flowing gowns. Can you imagine Arthur with Cegalis' physique, Zamule'a walkg Vyt's heightg Johnnie's hairg Billy's voice. Nc, we girls imagine Arthur as the king he really was, the nrealn hero in Tennyson's IDYLLS. The only thing we can imagine him with is that pleasing personality and gentle manner which was surely his. Or just think of Lancelot with Kaszak's black hair or our Girdauskas' blond, curly locksg whereas we pictured him with wavy hair--chestnut to be exact! Think of Lancelot, the most noble, ncrooningn YOU DARLIN' to his Elaine or Guinevere as Bob Flaherty does, or using the slang that Billy uses, or ex- tending the courtesy to the ladies extended us by our nobles. Lancelot reminds me of all our boys, for he was afraid of Elaine--and I suspect that our lads are afraid of us in the same way--at least they act it. Maybe we'd better keep our npalsn out of the bag. After all, we have lads just as courageous in facing the opponents, knights just as brave as those of the table round. Maybe our boys don't go out to fight with swords and lancesg just a bas- ketball. It takes superior courage for them to go out and play and not win most of the time. And I think that's enough said about courage, donft you? And most always they are courteous--and are becoming more knightly every day. ta A5 --Mary Alyce Freund, '42 r 0'-M' Weil-5 gqlfwew Ea. 46 E7 - - twenty-eight'- kay -fix SCHS first Q5 me A crowd of eager students had jammed into several cars and traveled to Ambridge to witness the initiation of what they hoped would be something to put them Hin the public eye.n You see, our school was very young and quite unheard ofg and it had taken much time and effort to bring this night to a reality. The boys were keyed up and eager to get out there and get started. They did--get started, I mean. The next day the local paper carried the following account: uThe St. Veronica High passers defending Catholic League Champions, easily whipped St. Casimirfs, 55-l4.N But that was only one side of the story. We who were there know where is a real story behind that account--the story of a group of inexperienced boys, filled with undaunted spirit and courage--pitted against the Uchamps.H And someday a team from St. Casimir's will win a champion- ship, and that championship will be the result of the efforts of these, our pioneers of basketball at St. Casim1r's. --Emily Norris, '42 nap , Adgg3a .QQQQ 6 wx J Q ' V f Z MYUCHPTSTLN aw My Christ, the Way of Life, ' of faith, of truth, of light, let me begin my every day just right. --Agnes Baier, '41 - twenty-nine - Ffh L 5 - e 194-'I CDD exx 'elflSY to X h e grE3SNq Wlelq i'-:cn -:Eg Day after Initiation Well Freshmen!

J' I +SC HSM the kind of Iggchgf X .Ike best The kind of teacher I like best is not hard to describe. I like a teacher who understands. Now, I should like to give my version of the kind of teacher I like and the kind I dislike. After a hard night on the corner, I like to get up at eight o'olock and walk a whole two blocks to school. As I enter the room late, I am invariably greeted by boards filled with work. This accomplishment has been performed by none other than the teacher, the kind I dislike. The hard day at school is about to begin. I feel myself shivering, for I suddenly remember something of great importance not fulfilled. It is my homework. The dread of being called upon to hand it in brings me to a point of collapse. Everytime I do my homework this teacher fails to call meg but when I don't have it, I am inevitably the first called. After a series of nerve-racking hours, the bell finally announces lunch hour. How glad I am to emerge from school! Not having handed in my home- work, I feared the worst to come. Although as yet the teacher had said nothing. After lunch I am back in the torture room. Lunch didn't seem to agree with the teacher, and she is having what I would call Hkinnipshuns.n Roaring loudly, she calls on me to answer. I get up slowly and in great fear, knowing that when I tell her I don't know my lesson, dire will be the Eonsequences. There- fore, I eye her suspiciously. Well, the day is over and I am about to leave, happy because another black day of my career has gone by. But wait! I've been hasty! Is that my name on the board under awful words stat- ing that I am to remain after school? I find myself alone with the teacher. The homework which I had not fulfilled stands like a great ocean in my path of freedom and I am without a boat. The teacher tells me that unless I finish thc work, I shall re- main in the classroom until doomsday. At night I go to bed plot. ting terrible things. You have heard of the type of teacher I do not like, and now I proceed to tell you of the kind I Q2 like. This will be a lit- tle more pleasant. As remarked before, after a hard night I come trotting to school--late. As I enter the door, class is in session. The teacher smiles at me graciously, knowing that I have a good rea- son for trickling in at this unearthly hour. - thirty-one - -.

It is five minutes before lunch timeg the teacher, knowing that I have full two blocks to walk, dismisses a little earlier that I may get home to lunch before it gets cold. Back to school after lunch, I am called in a kind and gentle voice to answer, nWill you please answer this question now?n If I am ignorant of the answer, I reply, Ec..E1cskuze ME, pleaseg I do not know the answer, because I didn't study. This teacher will smile and of course, not scold. To her I am another George Washington. All goes well during the remaining hours of school. I leave early-- no one has to stay in.

Perhaps you may not knqgjgher intimately, but nevertheless you have heard of her. Welffvjudgingfsfrom the title, one can see that the following narration islahout someone named Annie. To say just this might confuse, the reader, for this theme can be, you know, about a goat Cyet ar be it from me to call Annie a goatlg then again, it might belabout a rabbit, or a host of other things, therefore I shall endeavor to enlighten my reader by saying that the person in question, Annie, is quite a human being. Yes, although it may startle you Kthough I hope it will notl, a human being, just like you and me! Although I declare this, do not place her in the category of the ordinary human being, for she is far in advance of the ordinary human. She is like something out of the night, dark and mysteriousg and she comes through the darkness, shedding her light and brightening up the entire surrounding at- mosphere, making everything light, pure, and holy. But to get back to the main topic of this writing, I wish to say this about Annie, that though Annie is pretty, even beau- tiful, she does not act sophisticated, but is willing to help all, just as she has helped me innumerable times in the past. You will always find her willing, and never have I seen her without a pleasant smile, showing beautiful, gleaming teeth, which shine like luminous clock dials. KMy English teacher... does...not...like....that...simile.J QFrom this I draw my conclusion that Annie uses Doctor Lyon's Toothpowder.l Annie is also a real sympathizer, and if, by chance, you have troubles and have no one in whom to confide, just take Annie for a walk and open your heart. Never before in your life, you will acknowledge, have you ever known such an understanding and sympathetic person. As a dancer, Annie has never met her equal. Many a time I swayed with her, I felt as if she and I were floating thousands of feet up in the air, on clouds, those fleecy white bundles of white vapor that move slowly above the earth. As a parting word on this narrative of Annie, I wish to ex- press something of utmost importance. You might even call it a secret, a grave secret. Yes, as I have remarked before, it IS a secret and this secret will enable everyone to have an Annie just like mine. In Ancient Times there has never been anyone like Annieg in the Future there will never be anyone like Annieg and in the - thirty-three - f '12-'WH l Present, yes, in this day and age, there is no Annie, for this Annie whom you have met, is but a dream I have possessed as long as I can remember, and someday I am sure that I will meet my Agnieg hand I know she will have all the qualities I have dream- e or er. --Vincent Jankauskas, '42 l9Q's Opening the door, and walking into a shabby confectionary, I greet the diminutive proprietor with a noisy HHi'ya Bones.N Then, leaning over the counter, I thumb through the newspapers and take the earliest editions Clate editions are reserved for the customersl and go to the back of the store to begin my peru- sal.

To the present day, almost two centuries later, we as a nationi are intact, functioning efficiently and surviving the many pitfalls that have befallen the' European' nations. America's principles of freedom of speech, religion, and assembly are envy of all na- tions domineered by dictators. On this continent there has been developed a system of self- government based on the inalienable rights of the individual. It is an inheritance which has cost much courage and heroism to es- tablish. It is ours to maintain. Our system of Judicial, Leg- islative, and Executive participation in administering law is a marvelous procedure of a free people, completely denied to the unfortunates of Europe and Asia. Our Congressmen, elected to office by the unrestrained opinion of the people, the expression of these same people in formulating our lawsg the right of trial by jury to everyone, regardless of race, creed, color or political standing, the right to worship God as we are taught and dictated by our con- science are all part of our Democratic privileges. Our people may be a mass of mixed color and nationality, but their achievements in building America to its present stand- ard is but a faint reflection upon their belief in the all-Lov- ing and Directing Master. It is this belief that gave substance to our ancestral efforts in uplifting a vast prairie continent to our great U. S. A. We, as the proud sons and daughters of our forefathers, should be inspired by their many hardships to keep the torch of our American democracy and progress glowing in everlasting glory.

The team is leaving for the first game of the season. A by-stander, seeing the faces of these eager, happy youngsters, is wondering. As riotous rooters cheer, we depart on foot for St. George's, thinking of the gruesome, hard days spent in practice. Arriving at 7:15, we quickly change in- to our wrinkled suits. Taking the floor, we are met by questioning faces. With nerves tingling and hands shaking, we attempt shots at a basket which possesses the propensity of moving each time we throw the ball. Soon, amid roaring cheers, the home team makes its appear- ance in fine, neatly-pressed, clean suits, with light silk pack- ets to match. The referee's shrill whistle signifies the start of the game. The subs leave the floor as each team says a victory prayer, everything is set. 'Ne, the nervous Nunderdogs,U watch our respective men as well as we can, but height and speed begin to tell the difference in score. At halftime, the score, al- though comparatively close, is telling. We, the players of St. Casimir's--coachless and green against these well-trained, speedy lads--seem like a hopeless case. But as the sailor who had an adding machine tatooed on his chest said, HYou can count oneme,N so we say as we Wstick togethern until the referee's high pitched whistle tells us that the game is over. We are de- feated: 28-17. The two months' practice seems to have helped us none, as this, our first test, is a total loss. However, we are not the kind that give up after a loss, and I am willing to bet we can beat St. Gcorge's in a meeting on our home court some day. --John Girdauskas, '42 bOOk 5 Travel Far to distant Lands on soaring wings Of magic words in books.

Sud- Juliet: Romeo: Juliet: Romeo: Juliet: Romeo: Juliet: Romeo: Juliet: ANNOUNCER CHORUS: denly a very soft noise is heard from behind a wall, and we hear Juliet speak softly while looking up at the stars. Q KCURTAIN GOES UP! O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou, Romeo? Here I am babe, what d'ja want? Romeo, you have come to take me away. You have, haven't you Romeo---please release me from my bur- den by taking me away with you. What do you mean, calling me Romeo, when you know my name is Romerous Gonzales Migilicutti? 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy, thou art thyself and not a Montague. Wwhat is a Montague?W your eyes ask. Is it a hand or a foot?, Alas! I shall tell. you. It is my lost love. His name was Montague Van Twiller and he had a brother named Reginald Van Twiller, and they resided in a place called Pitts- burgh. Alas, those were the days, until the two of them ran away with my money. Aha! so you have ditched me for a Van Twiller? Be- gone, begone. Do not cast my love aside or you shall rue the day. Be not destructive, my Juliet, and I shall take you away with me and forever we shall dwell happily. Oh, my Romeo, you have made me happy with your words of sweet nothings. Tell me more, my Romeo...more... KCURTAIND A This is station SCHS bringing you the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. This program is sponsored by the makers of McCluskey's Dog Biscuits, enjoyed by all those unfortunate enough to dwell in the dog house. We bring you back to that gripping love story of by- gone days... From life to death, from death to life beyond . We shift this scene, so that you be 'mong the throng Who see this scene which is no consolation , To the two lovers. 'Tis nothing but desolation - fifty-five - NARRATION Romeo: Juliet: Romeo: NARRATION Juliet: Romeo: Juliet: NARRATION Juliet: ANNOUNCER: S 'I 9 41 '7aliantly he strives to protect his mate. Romeo whom Juliet venerated Will be no more, he will be incinerated. This is the death scene. Romeo is very tired. He has disposed of two dozen suitors. He replaces his deadly weapon, a Boy Scout knife he got for sixty Superman chewing gum wrappers. Listen... See, Juliet, thy suitors are no more... Ah, my big, strong, handsome man, you have done all this for poor little me. That I have and I shall continue to do just as Odys- seus did for his Penelope. My only regret is that we have no son like Telemachus to romp and play about the yard. Suddenly Romeo clutches his breast and starts to gasp for breath. He sinks to the floor. He lays his head on Juliet's lap and breathes slowly. Juliet knows it not, but the love of her life is slowly ebbing away. What is it, my Romeo? Alas, that's what occurs to me for using a toothpick which was not sterilized. Do not leave me, Romeo! Romeo utters a last gasp and lies motionless. Cgrief-stricken! Ah, I too go with you, my Romeo... There you have, ladies and gentlemen--the love story so full of love that it shall never be for- gotten. Let me remind you, that all characters, liv- ing or dead, depicted in this great drama, are fic- titious and any similarity between these and Buddy and Mary Alyce is a coincidence. Don't forget, la- dies and gentlemen, treat your guests right--serve our biscuits.

Jul' ' ' TRI UM PH OF CHARACTER When the scientist announces the success of his fi- nal experiments, despite the neglect and the ridicule of his colleagues, it is more than a victory for science. It is a tribute to his character--to the character that is exemplified by devotion of a lifetime to a pur- pose, and keeping that one objective no matter what hap- pens. , ' Like the scientist, our company has devoted a life- time of effort to one purpose. For over forty years its one objective has been the dedication of ourselves and our organization to the maintenance of the high ideals of our esteemed founder, To always bear in mind that honesty, fairness, and attentive service have made us nationally famous, And lastly, to pledge to continue to live up to these highest possible standards. vu , icdik g emi -- , ' - - , - -.-... s.......-.w.4.. - - - -f, ...-J, .. 4- HTHE HOME OF THE BABY TOP BOTTLEN 5953635 MUELEK GZCDO ...g--.--Q---mx--1-rw qt--.-.--4-.-.un-..
