Lady of Good Counsel, Sweetest picture artist ever drew, In all doubts I fly to thee for guidance - M0thel', tell me, what am I to do? By thy face to Jesus' face inclining, Sheltered safe beneath thy mantle blue, By His little arms around thee twining, Mother, tell me, what am I to do? Life, alas! is often dark and dreary, Cheating shadows hide the truth from viewg When my soul is most perplexed and weary Mother, tell me, what am I to do? A On April 25, 1467, the miraculous picture of OUR LADY OF GOOD COUNSEL appeared in the ancient church of Santa Maria in the little town of Genazzano, not far from Rome. The picture, drawn on a thin scale of wall plaster little thicker than a visiting card, was observed to hang suspended in the air without the slightest visible support. At once devotion to Our Lady in Santa Maria sprang up, and pilgrim bands began to come from near and far to pay their homage Miracles in ever-increasing number were reported. In the intervening centuries many Popes have made the trip from Rome to venerate the sacred image and have approved the manifestations of devotion and enriched them with indulgences. In 1903 the title Our Lady of Good Counsel was introduced into the Litany of Loreto. Neither time nor the jar of passing traffic has deteriorated the lovely image of Mother and Child, Joining their voices with those of centuries of pilgrims and of the faithful everywhere, the Class of '56 pay homage to their chosen patroness, OUR LADY OF GOOD COUNSEL. TO you, FATHER RAYMOND, pastor, teacher, guide and friend, AND fa IVVI , , 7 'ro you, SISTER MARY s'r. JoAN or ARC, 5 homeroom teacher and senior advisor, WE of the CLASS of '56 DEDICATE this BOOK of precious memories, ,, 6' I is 4 wiv if X, IN RECOGNITION OF your personal AFFECTION for us, 'your APPRECIATION for our efforts, and the UNDERSTANDING and UNTIRING DEVOTION with which you met our needs in this the last and happiest year of our school life.

A Xxx' 44 IN 22' laid The Senior play, given April 15, 16, and l7, told the story of seven- teen-year-old, Terry Jenkins from Oklahoma, who, weary with the homely chores on her father's cat- tle ranch, and dreaming of a thea- trical career, had slipped off from home and come to join the drama classes at Brookfield Summer Thea tre. The arrival of Sam Weller, her father's first cow-hand, to watch over her safety from a dis- tance, and his unexpected appear- ance the night of the students' barn dance bring, the blue skies of Ok- lahoma and the tedious tasks of home into a new perspective. Oth- er romances blossom, particularly the one between the director of the summer theatre and the charming drama teacher.

The world war was in pro- gress. Fathers were away in service. Mothers were busy with war work. In the process of canonization was the little Italian religious who had worked in our very neighborhood, and the original Frances Cabrini Housing Project named in her honor was soon to be a reality. But its progress meant that some of us born under the shadows of St. Dominic's spires soon saw our homes in the hands of the wreckers. Blighted though they were, those Old buildings were dear to our hearts. But that was only the heginning of change. Soon we were to leave behind us the steep, footworn stairways, the grimy, water-stained walls and splintered g floors of the old school, loved for all its dreariness. September of 1945 saw us in solemn procession down Chicago Avenue, carrying such loads as our small arms could manage, in the great removal ceremony, under the direction of Sister Mary Patrize, principal, when the John Quincy Adams grade school build- ing became our new home. It too left much to be desired in the way of cleanliness, but was a handsome building in our eyes, and the new brick convent for the Sisters, next to the school, was palatial in com- parison with the dilapidated frame structure they were leaving. Our well-loved S. M. Vincent DePaul saw us through kindergarten, second and third grades, and S. M. St. Reginald through first: fourth and fifth and sixth were with Sisters Mary Amatora, Azella and Addolorata respectivelyg seventh saw our class split between Sisters Mary Catherine Rose and lgnatius Loyola , while in eighth we were reunited under S. M. Ignatius Loyola. Entering high school, ours was the first class large enough for two rooms, so we were again divided and under the direction of Sisters Mary Conso- I lina and Ivo. Initiation, a Ha1lowe'- , en dance, candle-lighting, a St. Pat- ' l j , X rick 5 day play and fashion show, featuring boy models, then a school picnic, and our freshman year was I OVCT. When we returned to school in September for our sophomore year, we found that ill health had deprived us of our loved S. M. Charles Borromeo, and S. M. Eduardus had come to take her place. S. M. Thaddeus and S. M. Marian were our Sophomore home room teachers. Latin with S. M. Eduardus, or business methods with S. M. Marian, English with our home room teachers, geometry with S. M. Thaddeus, biology with S. M. St. Joan of Arc, and best of all, religion with Father Raymond, really kept us busy. A skating party, a Valentine dance, a joint program of one-act plays and glee club choruses, a successful football and basketball season helped us enjoy the lighter side of life. It was that year that the pastor, the Reverend John Bosco, O. S. M. , established St. Dominic Church as the National Shrine of St. Peregrine, the Cancer Saint. All through our Sophomore and Junior years wrecking crews were busy demolishing residential and business places for blocks about us, preparing for an immense extension of the Cabrini housing project. The spirit of improvement caught hold in the school also, and one by one the high school classrooms andthe halls and stairways were redecorated. A new physics laboratory on the top floor, reconditioning of the auditorium, installation of a new boiler, Father Raymond's annual benefit dinner at the Morrison, all were signs that things were moving. The first yearbook, a paper-covered collection of pictures and memories, arrived as school was closing. Junior year saw us again a divided group, with Sisters Mary Florina and Marguerite Dolore as home room teachers. We heard rumors of an alumni association in the organizing. Red Cross activities, panel discussions, our banquet for the Seniors, and the skating party we sponsored , to gether with a series of intramural basketball games and the noontime dancing in the auditorium kept us busy and happy. Holding the ban- quet in the beautiful crystal room of the Sheraton Hotel was a very special treat. A school picnic at Marquette Park finished off the year. A bigger and better yearbook, sent to the printers in June, told the pic- ture story of our school year, even to its end. The school paper made its appearance that year, too, with three handsome issues, and how proud we were of it! Our Senior year was to prove the best as well as the last. Here we were a united class, with Sister Mary St. Joan of Arc as home room teacher. As soon as school was under way the choir got busy preparing music for the parish golden jubilee celebration on November 13. Father Raymond had been named pastor during the vacation, and his big task was to get ready for the great event. Scaffolding in the sanctuary meant the beginning of operations. At least that much of the church would be handsome when His Eminence Cardinal Stritch came to help us celebrate. A luncheon in the school wel- comed the alumni back to visit with old teachers who too had come for the occasion. By that time we had introduced the freshmen to life at St. Dominic's ushered at the Belafonte benefit concert for the C. I. C. , and were beginning to look forward to our share in the Christmas program. Miss Lucille Youngmam practice drama teacher from Mundelein, formed us into a verse-speaking choir for the telling of the Gospel story. Sister Mary Thaddeus planned the beautiful tableaux which accompanied our story. The one big disappointment of our Senior year came when the problem of finances cut short the publication of our school paper, when after a very success- ful first issue under the direction of our English teacher, S. M. Athanasius, we had bedded down a second, the Christ- mas issue. Class rings had thrilled us both with their beauty and their early arrival. Their blessing and reception of members into our newly formed Sodality were preparation for the lovely feast of the Immaculate Conception. Basketball practice started early, since a shortage of football material had ruled out that sport for the year. Our team played well, and there was a con- siderable improvement in the size of the cheering sections, but we were quickly out of the running in the tournament. The smoothest and best of our players was Earl Fletcher, with Alvern, Vince and Kenny giving him excellent support. Aex did equally well on the Junior team. But our interest soon began to focus on our class play. It was to be a musical comedy-- Oklahoma! in Reverse. No wonder so many commented on how well we fitted the parts, for they had been tailored to our size and talents by one who knew us pretty well--our teacher was its author. The announcement of its name and nature came simultaneously, however, with word that we were soon to lose Sister Mary Eduardus as our principal. Sister had be en appointed to take over the duties of a Provincial, supervising one of the four provinces into which our sisterhood is divided. This brought to our faculty S. M. Laurencita who would take over the Junior home room, freeing S. M. Dolorita for more commercial classes, thus relieving S. M. Florina for new duties as principal.

The ad-program was our first consideration in connection with the play, and armed with ad-forms and enthusiasm we set out to do big things. When Sister had proposed square dance instructions for -us in the fall, and arranged with Miss Elizabeth I-Iennessey of Seward Park for classes, the boys thought they were being cheated a bit, having to give up their gym classes with Father, while the girls Q f 0 regretted forfeiting Miss Hennessey's volleyball instructions. However, it wasn't long before we were finding more fun than J we had left behind and were taking a long step in preparation for the play. v fum As parts evolved and songs and dances fell into place we began to know we had a really good play to offer. Miss Eleanor DiMaggio, music practice teacher from Mundelein, had taken over the singing when a bad fall had put S. M. Annunciation in the hospital. With Miss Jean Cieja, biology practice teacher, relieving S. M. St. Joan of Arc to conduct our practice or hold the reins tight while Miss Youngman and Miss DiMaggio did the training, we were free to put in many hours of solid work. Scenery, costumes, picnic togs, summer formals for the boys, the spirit and zest that found its way into our songs, all gave us many pleasant thrills,' so that when the great moment came we were ready with all our hearts to give our audience the best we had. A boat trip through the locks and along the lake front, meeting Harry Belafonte at the Catholic Interracial poster exhibit, class day beginning with Mass and Holy Communion followed by a festive breakfast and program given us by the Freshmen, then our own exercises in the afternoon reviewing the past and dip- ping prophetically into the future, our class picnic at Fox River Grove, and we were face to face with the reality of graduation. How wonderful to see the maze of scaffolding come down in our newly-decorated church, and realize the utter loveliness of the setting. Bishop Sheil was to honor us with his presence, and every detail must be in keeping. The long line of white and blue caps and gowns, the Bishop's bodyguard of Fourth Degree Knights, the altar decked in gold and white chrysanthemums, the richness of our own lovely choruses, made our parents very proud, and made us feel that we had shared in the beginning of a new and brighter era for the church and school we love so well. 1--Anna Caruso Wh I Z--Genevieve Kuntz 0 S 3--Marian ciuua 4--Pat Marshall J B 5 5--Anna Epley Q 6--Marcia Stacker 7--Mary Reed X ' 8--Anna Long Q E 9--Helen Rhodes 5 10--Patricia Miles , w .ll--Ann Laurix XS 0 12--Judy Jacobson 13--Dorothy Jacobson - - Robert Dominick Elaine Lokcik Charlene Adamx Earl Wilson Arlene Loftus --Joseph Cusack - - Ca rl Collins Alvern Kraatz Kay Dutton Kenneth Fontana Ronnie Dominick William Brittain 'TIS THE MONTH OF OUR MOTHER, THE BLESSED AND dv , Q IQ, ff ,1 BEAUTIFUL ' M Ri u R 1 i...
