He sums up their friendship and loyalty in this epitaph, Their love was one, their strife common, and their duty mutual. I urge the Class of 1946 to have a love that is one in loyalty to the Standards and ldeals of their Saint Clement School training: to recog- nize that theirs is a common strife against irreligion and secularism: and to accept mutually their responsibilities as citizens of our beloved country and heirs of Heaven. May God bless you and may you go with God. page six 1111 C!,6L:55 of 1946 RIGHT REVEREND ROBERT P.

At the risk of incurring legal penalty, we now apply this classic maxim to our pres- ent exalted status. ive Proclaim, The proof of the student is in the graduating. In ap- proximately twenty-four hours, we the ninety- eight members of Saint Clement High School, Class of nineteen hundred and forty-six, will unclutch our clenched fists long enough to grasp the coveted engraved parchment for which we have been laboring for four long weary years. Our grasping of this aforemen- tioned elusive symbol of success will consti- the well-worn corridors of our Alma Mater, tute the final official act of our high school career. Then, for the first time, we shall tread as newly initiated members of the Saint Cle- ment Alumni. Our minds are prone to wander down the corridors of time and we smile again at the adventures of our errant knights of learning in their quest for knowledge. A survey spon- sored by Francis Manning, Lorraine Morin, Lea Griffin and Herman Oberle revealed a tie between Caesar's Gallic Wars and The Adven- tures of Mickey Mouse, as the book of the year. The French enthusiasts Neil Sullivan, Red O'Brien, Sarge Grant and John Canniff, favored a French novel which they affection- ately titled, L'il Abner Constantine, but the rest of the class consider this a prejudiced opinion. The prevailing influence which ele- vated The Adventures of Mickey Mouse to such heights of booklovers' esteem emanated from the bright lights in English, Robert lfveidhorn, Olga Coscia, Marie de Montigny and Robert Harhen. Our interest in literautre, however, did not pause long in passive perusal of the printed page. YVe took an energetic part in enacting the vicissitudes of life as staged in Dorff Take My Penny, our junior jroduction. Romanti- cally linked were Red Barrett the made an enticing blondej and Barb Doherty, John Bradley a11d Rosemary Monahan, Gerry QThe F armerj Spurr, Betty Carew, Stanley O'Reilly and Mary Jacqueline Mahoney. The exquisite gowns designed by Monsieur Paul Landry, delivered daintily fwith a loud noisej by Law- rence MacLean, and modeled charmingly by Marylu Steeves, Teresa Flanagan and Dot Smith, contributed an alluring atmosphere. Mary Irwin's sincere interpretation of the sensible influence of Grammar restored peaceful order out of tumultuous chaos. We did not confine our dramatic skill to the stage. After concocting a bromine explos- ive according to an original formula Walter fLaughing gasj Enos, Bill Doyle, Dick Foun- tain, Eddie Joyce, Jerome Barry and John Sul- livan were apprehended crooning, I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire. In the bio- logy class Marilyn Canty, Mary Josephine Ma- honey, Mary Hegarty, Kathleen O'Brien, Rita Long and Mary Fahey demonstrated the scien- tific aspects of dissection by the well-skinned frogs they left behind them. Angie Depinto, the lucky girl, was fortunate enough to be the sole feminine decoration of the physics group which boasted such reput- able personalities as Charlie Doherty, John Connors, Joe Bradley and Danny Casonova Murphy. Einstein's theory of relativity was simplified by our mathematicians, Helene Springs, Pat Smith, Lorraine Hurley, Marie Magner and Mary Bradley, in their substitu- tion of the theory of relaxation. Typewrit- ing perion was stimulated by Joe Penta who typed fifty-two words a minute, that 'is to say, fifty-two minus fifty-two. The flying fingers of Marie LoCicero, Mary Geary, Mary Healy and Ruth Treanor were the source ofgwistful glances cast by Gert Murphy, Kay Cross, Mary Burke and Rosemary McLaughlin who coined a new epithet every miss' stroke. Clarice Cos- cia, Anne Doherty, Esther Patturelli and Mary Naughton were representative of' our promis- ing stenographers, who, we are happy to say, are still surviving, surprising enough, after two fantastic years of shorthand. In exploring the field of the more frivolous page forty-eight t 4444444L4Li4L4.4,LlL444.4.444,A4,1 1441 44 1 1 1441 1441 1 1 1 I 4 6 senior activities we discoverd certain future geniuses. Unexpected twosomes found trip- ping the light fantastic prom night were loc Cleveland and Mimi Tobinf not so nnex pectedj, Arthur Bashful Boy Colbert es- corting Sid Linden, -lane Scanlon squired by Handsome ,lohnn Monohan, -Ioe Captain Emo Elliot with Alice Gaudet and X'Vinnie Ryan who had consented after much per- suasion to accompany -john Driscoll, in the front seat, whose hobby is knocking down trees with his fathe-r's car. Some applied the theory that silence is gol- den, during History periods, among whom Eleanor Barry, Pete Moore, Marie Certnsi, Theresa Richards, Phil Hyde, Frances De- Armon, Richard Barili, Rose Crowley and Fran Kiernan were foremost proponents-by now they ought to be rich. Opposed to these ardent advocates of the silence theory were others who established a shortwave system of communication. After the comnninique dis- patching ring, embracing Peggy Sarsfield, Irene Bourneuf and Louise Comeau was smashed by Sister's interception, it became im- perative to employ wig-wag signals. From the cold North fof the roomy flashed Lefty Doc- tor, Lawyer, Indian Chief Davis and joe Nancy Regan: from the Wild West, Teresa Mullins and Clare Rabin: from the Far East, Eileen Poirier and Anne Magner, and from the Sunny South, Mary Canty and Rosemary Norton. . Dick McCue expounded lns own philosophy of school life-f they toil not neither do they spin, to Antoinette Andrea, Eileen McCarthy, Bob Van Johnson Leahy and Robert Fran- cis Casey, the smiling Armenian, who seren- ely abided by its doctrines to end. The proof of the pudding is in the eat- ing. XVe did the eating. Wfho made the pud- ding possihle? You, our self-sacrificing parents: you, our selflessly devoted Sisters: you, our zealous Priests, and you, Monsignor Barry, our nndrestanding spiritual father. have made our graduation from Saint Clement High School a reality, May our future lives as members of Saint Clement alumni discharge in some small measure the infinite debt of gratitude YV? UYVC' YOU. Patricia Connolly '46 Ruth Griffin '46 page forty-nine Jae Cgmenfonia 14111 11111 Gllaaa ill THR MIGHTY, marvelous, magnificent, and modest IQ46 graduates of Saint Clement High hereby make final disposition of their sundry holdings: To our spiritual leader, Monsignor Barry, and his tireless assistants, and to our religious teachers, the Sisters of Saint joseph, we render a sincere avowal of heartfelt gratitude and future faithfulness. We cede to our undergraduates the smile of success attained. Charlie Doherty and joe Regan, those fe- rocious football furies, iutrust to Edwin Kele- her, George Robertson, Phil O'Flaherty and Francis Shannon, their byword, The spirit is willing, but the backfield is weak. That stenographers' stoop and those hook- keeping blues of Clarice Coscia, Kay Cross, Ann Doherty and Alice Gaudet become the personal property of Helen Cotter, Eileen O'Leary, jean O'Keefe, Kay Perry and Lor- raine Ward. jerry Barry, Dick Fountain, Francis Kier- nan, Lawrence McLean, bequeath to Eddy Collins, Richard Larkin, joe Lonergan and Joe Stanford, their outstanding leadership fespecially outstanding at dismissal timej. The basketball beauties Betty Carew, Gert Murphy, Esther Patturelli, Xllinnie Ryan, sur- render to Helen Courtenay, Micky Monagle, and the three Sullivans, Elizabeth, Mary T. and Mary E., the royalties on their theme song, It's always 'foul' weather. To John Conceision, -lack Ryan, Al Stacy and jimmy Wise are given the exclusive rights of Red Barrett's book, Success,-In Ten Easy Gesturesf' As a final farewell gesture, Antoinette An- drea, Ruth Griflin and the Magner twins, be- stow their 'punctiliousu punctuality upon Mary DeGregorio, Eileen DiVencenzi, Dor- othea Longo and joan Ryan. Mary Burke, Marilyn Canty, Mary Jacque- line Mahoney, Minnie Tobin and Pat Smith dedicate an old worn-down bench in Skating Club, monument of their regular attendance at hocky games, to Doris Cain, Eleanor Doran, Elda Govoni and Ellen Gray. A blank check covering cost of transporting books is willed by Art Colbert, Bill Doyle, XValter Enos, Phil Hyde, to Ken Hardigan, Eenie McCue and Frany Mahoney to pre- serve their young muscles from excessive ex- ertion. Marie Certusi, Mary Irwin, Marie LoCicero and Marie de Montigny leave the continuance of their fruitless search for lost chordu to Edith Cullen, Thea McCabe, Pat McGoveren, Connie O'Brien and Alice Plumb. Unyielding prowess is consigned by Lefty Davis, Bob Leahy and Joe Penta to these aspiring and perspiring hocky stars, Bob Beston, Bernie 'Dwyer and Phil Keohan. Louise Comeau, Marie Geary, Sid Linden, Dot Smith and Ruth Treanor hand down to Eleanor Bertolaccini, Peg Cummiskey, Peg Drummey, Irene Giordano and Teresa Naughton the daily three o'clock sessions in the Type Room. Ten square feet of dressing room space for before-school gossip is distributed equally among Pauline Carpenter, Terry Conroy, Eliz- abeth Franey, Mary Langton and Teresa To- land by these habitual gabsters Claire Babin, Teresa Mullins, Eileen Poirier and Marylu Steeves. Robert Leonard, Buddy Murray, john King and Frank Valley are worthy recipients of the famous after dinner toothpicks of jerry Spurr, joe Bradley, jack Connors and Francis Manning. VVeeks in a hospital afford the four seniors Rita Long, Mary Mahoney, Teresa Richards and Helene Spring the privilege to provide the five juinors Bertha Coffey, Rita Donovan, Page iffy 44441111 111 Margaret Manning, Eleanor Lamothe and Eleanor Melia with fool-proof excuses for three weeks' absence. Emo Elliot, Dick McCue, Scratch O'Reilly and Neil Sullivan verbally present their over-indulgence in excessive loquacity, fin plain words' gift of gab j to james Barry, Art Hughes, Ed O'Brien and NVarren Carlin. The Hinseprarable pals Mary Fahey and Peggy Sarsfield exclaim to Peggy Miller, Mary Shreenan, Mona Steeves, Ann Sullivan and Ann Tighe, We go well together. Dick Bareli, John Driscoll, Pete Moore and Daniel lover Murphy leave the key to their curly locks-one package of bobby pins and one bottle of wave lotion-to Martin Courtney, George McConnell, john Cronin and Georgie Deming. Being by nature unselfish, Eileen McCarthy offers to Margaret Hughes, Aggie Murphy, Martha Stanton and B. Williamson the sol- ution to her personality, Sweet and lovely. Herman Oberle and john Sulivan yield to John Creedon, Malachy Meagher and Michael Walsh an affection for physics emphasized by their favorite exiom Absence makes the heart grow fonderf' The Latin lovers Pat Connolly, Olga Coscia, Lorraine Hurley, Lorraine Morin and Kathie O'Brien allot a copy of their Virgil to Nan Fitzgerald, Irene LaFrance, Peg Le- gere, Ann Saunders and Mary Sheehan with a parting injunction Can't you read between the lines? Irene Bourneuf, Barbara Doherty, Mary Hegarty and Jane Scanlon relinquish their biology scalpel to joan Blair, Teresa Court- ney, Philis Eames, Mary Fallon and Peggy Morrissey with this word of encouragement, If at first you don't succeed, pry, pry, again. The drug store cowboys .lack Canniff, Joe Cleveland and Sarge Grant transmit a near- , C4145 of 1946 by park bench together with a worn-out deck of cards to Bob Bowdring, Pecker,' Connolly, Tom Fahey and -Ioe Small. Mary F. Bradley, Lea Grifhn, Rose Mary Monahan and Posie Norton dispose to Leonore Crosbie, Mary Doherty, Agnes Kelly, Kay Miller and Lorraine Pelrine their vary' ing interpretation of Katherine Hepburn drawl. The fortunate jguniors Jimmy Cunning- ham, Gene Driscoll, Bob Fountain and .john Sullivan are made heirs to the secret formula of attaining a position on that much worked- for scrool-honor roll--by john Bradley, Paul Landry, Bob Harhen and Robert XfVeidhorn. Frances Raphael DeArmon and Teresa Shakespeare Flanagan give Mary Keane, Lillian Kiely, Mary Landrigan, Anne Mac- Lellan and Mary McCarthy their artistic ap- preciation and creation. Mary Canty, Mary Healy, Eleanor Barry, Mary McLaughlin and Mary Naughton de- tnolish their shothand books and concede the scraps to Barbara O'Connell, Teresa Prescott, Barbara Rohwedder and Helen Sheehan. The Nature lover, Rose Crowley, under- standing the inticacies ol' Botany, passes on to those junior sprouts Teresa O'Connor, Teresa Lane and Denise Morse the abundant vegetation on the window sills of the Senior rooms. The harmonious harps Bob Casey, John Monahan and Red O'Brien award their melodious melody to the solid Siberians, Frank DePinto, Paul Magno, Paul Noetzel and Lawrence Pelrine. Oflicially witnessed by the policetnan-on-the beat, and the fireman ol' the district, it is with relief and satisfaction that we sign our names to this world-shaking document.

Membership was extended to juniors and Seniors not only lr-om Saint Clen1ent's High but to aspiring students from lXIedl'ord and Somerville High as well. From the beginning there was no question of the society's being a success, and, as the days passed, we realized that the associations outcome had been true to thought. With our beloved Pastor, Monsignor Barry, as Spiritual Director, we rllCt on the second and lourth Tuesday ol' each month lor devotions to the Sacred Heart: air instruction given by Mou- signor which was both diverting and guiding: and Benediction ol' the Blessed Sacrament. Every last Sunday we received Holy Llonr- munion in a group. Like the VVomen's Sodality and the Men's Holy Name Society, we also had our olhcials and special activities. '1'l1e monitors are too numerous to name, but the ollicers include: Marie de Montigny, president. of Girls' Slltl ety: Olga Coscia, vicefpresident: XVinilred Ryan, secretary: Tlrerese Richard, treasurer? .lohn Bradley, president ol Boys' Holy Name: Charles Doherty and Richard Fountain, vice- presidents: Robert Weidhorn, secretaryg Ar- thrlr Colbert, treasurer. Our lirst social activity was a Hallowe'en dance. The orchestra and refreshments were generously provided by Monsignor Barry and we feel certain that everyone had a wonderful tinre. For Christmas we had something extra special-one ol' the latest nrovies. Wle cele- brated Valerrtine's Day with a dance, and now we are closing the season with a farewell dance to the graduates. In parting, we, the graduate members ol the organization, extend our sincerest gratitude to Monsignor lor the great spiritual benefit which we have derived from his inspiring words. We leel sure that the lessons we have learned will remain with us through life. Our' Sodality has lixed deeply in our hearts a great and lasting devotion to the Sacred Heart. lllaric li.

Excitedly, we seated ourselves at the controls to begin our ocular-auricular circuit of the universe. The gentlest touch projected a powerful beam which mirrored in actual form and color every section of the j. tj. Regan Institute of Simplified Stenography for the Aged. Pre- paring for the next day's hockey clash with the University of I-long Kong, at I-Iawaii, joe Cleveland, Art Colbert, Bob Leahy. Red O'Brien and Stanley O'Reilly were still hold- ing their own despite their thirty-two odd years. Vivid posters on the arena walls pictured the world's dancing team, Mary Burke and Miriam Tobin, Amt-rica's actress, Kathleen O,Brien, star of Dan Murphy's sensational Follies of l96l. Mary Naughton. -In the central edifice of the Institute, Robert Weidhorn, dean, conferred with the famous draftsnlan, joe Bradley, in regard to plans for the new Fahey research Laboratory, made possible by funds received through the discovery of the Infallible Insomnia Cure by Sarg Grant, Francis Manning, Gerry Spurr and Cornelius Sullivan. With all the youthful football entllusiasm of their approaching two score years, Charlie Doherty, Bill Doyle, Paul Landry and joe Penta discussed their new longitudinal pass. Through the open windows of the Barry- McCue Conservatory, Hoted the symponic strains of Bat Me the Ball Again, Brother, the top tulle of Marie de Montigny, Rosemary Monahan, Teresa Richards, Richard Barili, Bob Casey, Wfalter Enos and john Monahan. This rhythmic battle-cry provided the atmos- phere for World Series Pennant presentation in adjacent Lefty Davis Stadium, to the val- iant victors, John Canniff, john Driscoll, joe Elliott and Peter Moore. Expertly piloted by Marilyn Canty, Clarice Coscia, Bob I-Iarhen, john Sullivan, the streak- ing super-rocket designed by Lea Griffin, Lor- raine Hurley and Herman Oberle, checked its course high above the gaping spectators. From the nylon skyway fknown in l94fi as a rope- ladder,j air-nurses Claire Babin, Ruth Griffin, Teresa Mullins, Eileen Poirier, jane Scanlon and Marylu Steeves, eminent plastic surgeon, john Bradley, and Chief of Air Connnunica- tions, Lawrence McLean gracefully alighted. The reception committee comprising United States Senator, Red Barrett, the first Poetess Laureate, Teresa Flanagan, United States Dis- trict Attorney, Edmund joyce. renowned con- cert pianists, Mary llealy and Mary Irwin, warmly welcomed these esteemed guests. Cap- turing the grin-impelled scrutiny of the crowd, Betty Carew, Louise Comeau, Catherine Cross, Edna Linden, Rita Long, Rose McLaughlin, Gertrude Murphy, sped in on l9fil jet-pro- pelled roller skates, flanked by Pat Connolly, Olga Coscia, Barbara Doherty, Alice Caudet, Lorraine Morin, Rosemary Norton on multi- colored Zebras. lVith a blare of trumpets the ceremonies commenced. john Connors, versatile orotor, received a tremendous ovation from the ap- preciative audience which numbered such notables as Frances llL'.xl'lllOll, world famous artist: Angie DePinto, illustrious laboratory technician, Mary jacqueline Mahoney, dec- orator ol' the mansion owned by Richard Fountain, the distinguished oil magnet, Fran- cis Kiernan, prominent aeronautical engineer. At the conclusion of the exercises, the crowd drifted toward the Mahoney-lXfcKIarthy Pizza Palace where Phil Hyde and his all-girl orch- estra featured Eleanor Barry, Mary Canly. Ann Doherty, Mary flegarty, Winifred Ryan and Dorothy Smith, vocalits, effectively sup- ported by Antoinette Andrea, Irene Bourneuf. Mary Bradley, Marie flt'f'lllSl, Anne Magner and Marie Magner. The efficient Mistress of I Ceremonies, leggy Sarsfield, conducted Rose Crowley, Esther Patturelli, Pat Smith, Helene Spring and Ruth Treanor, metropolis report- ers, to their especially reserved tables. At that precise instant, a flaming meteor flashed perilously near us jarring the deli- cately-intricate mechanism of our Ultra Sound Vision Reflector. The graphic scene tremh- led, swirled, then slowly faded. .X revisuali- lation of the Institute reflected the reating hacks of our classmates, as they mounted their labras, jetted their roller skates, and ascended the nylon ladders of their respective rocket- ships. Thus terminated the initial utilization of the scientific revolution, our Ultra Sound- Vision Rcfiector. Marie tieurv '-lfi Marie 1.oCicero '-fti page fifty-seven, fx i I . .

A priest in hunger-ridden China shares his lrugal meal with a famished tot crying from the pangs ol hunger. In plague-stricken India one of Cod's heroic missionaries labors night and day to prepare countless souls to meet their Saviour. Catholic religious teachers bring the pure light of Faith to japanese people who have been stumbling in the darkness ol' idolatry. ln a tiny wooden chapel in our own United States, a group of pitifully-deprived Negro boys and girls gather about a modern Apostle to learn of the Kingdom in which all may share. Thus do Catholics live the command of Our Lord: A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as l have loved you, that you also love one another. By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another. By these words spoken to His Apostles just before His passion and death, Our Beloved Lord cancelled all discriminations of race. color, and blood, and commanded those who would follow Him to extend Christian charity to all their fellow-men. These words of Christ's demonstrate vividly the place that racial un- derstanding must take and keep in the lives of all men in every day and age of the world. The intense love of the first Christians for one another strengthened them to be brave and finally overcame Roman persecution. The inspired love that the early missionaries bore the simple natives of the New Wlorld prseents striking contrast to the self-seeking of greedy explorers. The Church invoked the law of Christ against cruel slave-traders, reminding them that there are no slaves among Christ's followers. In two X'Vorld XiVars. chaplains' love for the souls of their men overcame muck and mire, shot and shell, to bring the Body and Blood of Christ to men representing all races of the earth. Why has Christ commanded us to love one another? Touch any human being in the world-anyone-be he Communist or Moham- medan or jew or Negro or Buddhist or Jap- aneseeand' you touch a person for whom Christ died. Therefore, every person is either potentially or actually a child of God. Christ's Mystical Body, the Catholic Church, embraces all races and nations and peoples and conditions of mankind. This universality of the Church is not a mere universality of individual membership, similar to the mem- bership ofa political party. lt is a living union of all mankind. This living union springs from a common relationship, of ineffable sweetness, power, and dignity, to a living Per- son, the person of the God-Man .lesus Christ, and through Him to all three Divine Persons of the Divine Nature. Through this relation- ship, man's earthly social nature is related to a Divine Society into which each human per- son as adopted, establishing a unique relation- ship between man and man, as a consequence of a unique relationship between man and God. A cure-all for all racial misunderstanding is a general return to religion. lack of reli- gion in men is the cause of all the hatred in the world. XfVe will never regard our fellow- men as our brothers until we recognize God as our merciful Father. The sharing of eco- nomic wealth will not make us brothers, but becoming brothers will make us share our eco- nomic wealth. The early Christians WCl'C.UOt one because they pooled their wealth-they pooled their wealth because they were Chris- tians. The true Christian will see Our Lord's Incarnation prolonged in every human need. I was in prison and you visited Me. In the new creation of Divine Grace there are no racial distinctions, no physical distinctions, no social distinctions. But, says Paul, Christ is all and in all. Let us pray that all men may realize that we are all children of God and brothers in Christ. Let us Lift up our hearts to Him who made to shine In Heavenis arch the glorious sign Of inercy's heavenly birth To all the peoples of the earth, The pledge of peace divine! And let our glorious banner, too, The banner of the rainboufs hue, In heaven's wide expanse unfurled, Be for a promise to the world Of peace to all inankindg Banner of peace and light, Banner of red and blue and white, Red as the crimson blood Of Christ's wide brotherhood, Blue with the unchanging hope Of heaven's steadfast sun, White as the radiant sun The whole earth shining on.'

This impressive admonition fell on deaf ears, however. Godless rulers plunged nations into brutally-devastating war. For six long years, the destruction ol' homes, broken fam- ilies, innocent children killed and wounded, starvation, famine-all followed in the wake of relentless war machines. Under merciless chains forged by materialistic greed, people began to pray again to the God of Freedom XtVhom they had rejected. Finally, on August fourteenth, nineteen hundred forty-live, the eve of the Feast of our Blessed Mother's Assumption into Heaven, joyous bells rang out theuglad tidings of peace. Crowds thronged to churches to thank God that war had ceased. Mothers and fathers knelt in gratitude for their sons' safe return. Sisters offered grateful prayers because they would see their brothers again. Wives, re- lieved of heartrending anxiety, extolled the mercy of God which had delivered their hus- bands from the dangers of the battlefields. We live in the present, we dream of the future, we learn from the past. The past re- calls the horrors of war. The present faces a post war world. The future holds the hope of peace. Have we learned from the horrors of war to face a post war world so that we will realize the hope of peace? Peace, indeed, cannot flower and prosper, proclaims our Holy Father, except in an at- mosphere of secure justice and of perfect fidel- ity. This atmosphere of secure justice and perfect fidelity must rise in the heart of man. It must come from the soul of man formed to the image of God. Religion models and per- fects man to the Divine Image. Religion works in the depths of each man's heart, but its effects extend throughout his entire life and into all its activities. Men formed thus, men established in their sacred integrity as images ol' God, men proud of their personal dignity and of their healthy freedom, men justly jealous of their equality with their felows in all that touches the most essential basis of man's dignity, men firmly at- tached to their land and traditions-these are the men who give to society a solid foundation and obtain for it security, equilibrium, and normal development in space and time. The tremendous task now charges religious- minded men and women to enforce their con- victions that the self-development and inde- pendence of underprivileged nations should be realized, not merely idealized. Religion, therefore, must be left free to elevate and in- spire all individuals, all families, all nations, by its lofty, supernatural motives. Religion 1nust become to politics what conscience is to God-fearing men. Religion, too, must rule over the advances of science, guiding the uses of its discoveries. To love truth, as science loves it, to seek truth tirelessly as science seeks it, to reveal the latent resources of the universe, as science reveals them, is one of the chief glories of the human race. When, however, we have taken every- thing that science can give, we find that science has not enough for life. Xvhen we have facts, we still need a spiritual interpretation of facts. VVhen we have all the scientific forces that we can get our hands upon, we still need spiritual mastery over their use. Beyond all the power that science can give, we need that inward power which comes from spiritual strength alone. Religion, then, is indispensible.

Let the words of our Holy Father, Recall- ing that human efforts are of no avail without divine assistance, we invite all to raise their eyes to Heaven, be the ntessage that we, as graduates of nineteen hundred and forty-six from Saint Clement High School, carry with us into a world only partially resurrected from the chaos of two global WZIYS. YVe can help change the world's atheistic tendencies if by our living we give testimony of Christ and His doctrine. People will watch us who are His witnesses. They will be drawn to Christ and love Christ when drawn by the strength and serenity and purity and joyous- ness of Christ reflected in us. Daily prayer and frequent reception of His sacraments will enable us to reflect Christ in our lives. Let us earnestly pray: Give as our daily Bread, 0 God, the bread of strength!

These boys also set two records for the school. Tlu-y boasted the most strenuous schedule in the school's history: and the '45 teant was the largest in number to don the Maroon and Cold. Our starters were very light in cotnparison -to those of most of our opponents. Next fall there will be good mate- rial and a good schedule which will put the boys up for championship of the League. Zflaakvthall It looked like a colorful season for our quin- tet when setting back the Woburn live and scoring a few other victories. The starting team consisted of Ken Carew, Sophomore, and Gene Driscoll, junior, at the forward posi- tions: Captain Charlie Doherty at the center positiong and at the guards, -lohn Monahan and Frank llc-Pinto. Coach Conceison is look- ing forward to a successful year in IQ47 with an available supply of twenty underclassmen returning. Ifiawrhall lt looked like a very successful season for our nine when they began practice. The able coaching of Alamos Cassell, and the splendid defense of our veteran players, Lefty Davis. Charlie Doherty and Stanley 0'Reilly, are doing a great iob on the diamond. The club has already upset some powerful teams. The greatest highlight so far is the defeat of Keith Academy. Good luck, and a successful season to the '47 team. Girlz' Basketball The girls' basketball team was ably cap- tained by Angie DePinto and Gert Murphy and well managed by XVinnie Ryan. Our glo- rious colors were held high both at home and away, by a hard-working team. All credit is warmly extended to our beloved director, Father Ford. page sixty 44444444444111144144444444444441441141111111114-.'.f.'.',z.f1- llnrkvg For three years Saint Clement has been rep- resented in the Catholic Hockey League, but not until the 1945-IQ46 campaign have they been so successful. The Maroon and Gold finished one point out of second plaee this year, Success was due, in great measure, to Lefty Davis, our speedy center, lloe, always on the ball, Cleveland, and Bob Leahy, our very reliable goaler.
