Upper- most in our minds is the fact that only through your combined efforts has this occasion been made possible. We wish to thank especially our parents and our teachers. It is they who have directly shared the responsibilities of our education, hence, it is to them that our debt is the greatest. Their credit is doubly merited. First, because they brought to a successful conclusion the activities of this immediate classg and second, because they accomplished this greater, and, by far, more noble deed, the establishing of an institu- tion from which goes forth a firm belief in the word of God as is evidenced in the fields of science and art, an institution which will for many years to come bring to young Catholic manhood and womanhood the benefits of education. During the past four years spent under the guiding eyes of our beloved teachers of Saint Columiba's High School, we have been prepared for our entrance into the modern world. Now we are equipped with a philosophy of life which assures that the foundation of happiness is truth and of success, righteousness. It is, therefore, with a firm determination to fulfill these ideals that we depart from our Alma Mater. If we shall, in any way, fulfill the aspirations which our school has entertained for us, we shall be glad, and on that school, which is as new in its career as are we in ours, we earnestly pray that the blessings of God may be showered abundantly.

But, truthfully speaking, we can right- ly admire the many fine qualities which are his. We recognize him first as a student, an earnest student, and one whose earnestness has been well repaid with brilliancy. Here is an unequaled devotion to duty and Hne scholarship for four years of high school work. This concluding senior on our list also maintains a lively interest in sports, especially tennis and hiking. The vice-president of the senior class is further characterized by a supreme determ- ination to do or die, a punctuality which is a punctuality, and a neatness which reveals the perfect unity and organization enjoyed by everything with which he is concerned. All his homework done, all his bills paid, every hair in place, and a tennis game scheduled for the morrow-is the complete portrait of William Wink.

We, the class of 1934, and, in particular, those of us who are mem- bers of the staff of the year book, wish to extend our sincere thanks and to pay a lasting tribute to Miss Helen McCann. It has only been through her tireless efforts and the unselfish contribution of her time, talents, and experience, without any thought of self-praise, that the publication of this, our hrst year book, has been made not only possible but a success as well. Although she has been among us for only one short school year, still, she has proven to be a very proficient teacher and a true and loyal friend to all of us. Thus, we feel sure that she has secured, and will con- tinue to secure, many new friends among all with whom she comes in COUUICI. 1 1.1 1 1nu..m.-....1m.... 1 1 1 1 ....m1..,,....a.1 1 1 1.1.1 1 1.1.1 - ,1.L1,1 83 Q HZ

Because of the fact that our school contains a grammar as well as high school department, many of our freshmen class were old friends. On that eventful morn- ing of Wednesday, September 7, 1931, however, we were all keyed up to the highest point of suspense. Weren't we the first class to enter high school, and, therefore, also the seniors, the exemplars? QWhere have we heard that beforelj We had no assistance, or perhaps hindrance, from upper classmen in initiating us into the mysteries and pleasantries of high school life, ibecause of our seniority. That first year how we all worked, not only in our assignments, but in establish- ing a precedent in such things as uniforms. Remember the time the girls had in select- ing their uniform, which finally became our beloved green? We had the honor of listening to the message of Pope Pius XI over the convent radio, which was set up on the stage. At Halloween, we, acting as a class, planned a party for the school and fit must be admitted that for little green froshj we really didn't prove so helpless. The rest of the year was marked with small parties at festal times. Much of the time between parties was spent in making daily additions to the acquarium. The most never-to-be-forgotten day was that marked with the arrival of the scien- tific paraphernalia. Boxes, excelsior, glass and tubing were draped over, under and on any space of one inch square, throughout the entire building. For a time it seemed as if order could never be restored. Time heals all, however, and we settled down to learning at least a few scientific terms to explode at unsuspecting and seemingly ignorant under- classmen. Were we not the intelligentia of the school? The year wore on to an uneventful close-who could be so base as to call regents important?-and we found ourselves trudging onward into higher realms. We all returned, i-n the fall, with the same solemn intention of working hard that the former year had witnessed. In spite of this, before a week had passed over our heads, it was evident that as little work as possible would be done and the maximum of fun enjoyed. Strange as it may seem, this was the most uneventful year of our course. Life flowed onward and soon Christmas and examinations had rolled by. In the spring our annual Kaydeross picnic was held and everything went merrily until Regents de- scended upon us, causing some fatalities, but, somehow, not many.
