Third Year Students The opening of the school year revealed few possibilities of a lucid future for the third year class, but with the passing of time and the acquaintances of the members of the class, the horizon was brightened and by the middle of the year the third year class had emerged from a misty past, and was in its full heights with the other classes and organizations of the academy. By this time the members of the class had become prominent in the field of athletics, social life, literaries, and other activities about the campus. They had made a name and an outstanding reputation for the class which would in a short time enter into the fourth and last year of its high school career. They had proven that their quality far exceeded their quantity which was com- paratively small. They had accomplished many objectives and attained much perfection in all phases of academic life and Christian ideals. The third year is now coming to a close and the class of '31 can now look back with pride on an illuminous past of which any group of students would be honored to boast. They have overpowered all hindrances, outwitted all handicaps, and hurdled all obstacles which have presented themselves as drawbacks to the success and goal of a class spurred on by ambition and desire for a higher learning.

Senior Class History To each member of the graduating class, the reception of his diploma will mean a different thing. They are all leaving St. Edward's Prep School, some will enter higher institutions of learning while others will begin immediately to make their own way through life. Mingled with the happy thoughts of leaving high school are bits of regret. The class will be broken up and all will be separated, each one will carry with him memories of the happy days spent in study and in play. Fond memories will be cherished of the friendships of classmates. Activities among the members of the senior class on the campus this year have been more outstanding than ever before. Their eHorts have not been confined to any one nature, but have touched on every phase of school life. In athletics Bradford and Foley have both shown much ability. Besides both having lettered in football for three years, Foley has lettered two years in basketball, Bradford two years in baseball. Although these two have been the best all-rounders, there is also Fanett, Fette, and Sweeney who have seen much service and each lettered a single year in football. Klein coming into the class only in September has shown much promise on the diamond and on the basketball court. The steady progress in the physical field has in no way hindered the scholastic functioning of the class of '30, They have reached the highest peaks in edu- cational and social aspects. John McLemore has attained much prominence about the campus, he was President of the Senior Class and Vice-President of the North Texas Club. McLemore hasialso been very valuable in intramural sports and oratorical contests. Fette and Bradford have also been prominent in class work, being Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer of their class re- spectively. The seniors have all entered some kind of social, scholastic, or athletic activity. Benevides, Dow, and Longoria all belong to the Spanish Club. The Saint John Berchman Society boasts of the membership of Foley, McLemore, Sweeney, Davison, Foster, and Klein. Macatee, Caplis, Manning, and Mistrot have gained much popularity around the campus and Macatee is a member of the East Texas Club. Now that the class has gone through a very progressive and successful year the seniors of '30 are ready to face the future with a broader View of life with its peculiarities. They will wander far and wide, some of them may never see each other again, but there will always be somewhere in their thoughts, memories of the friendships of their fellow students who were always willing to lend a helping hand and see them through their troubles and difficulties which were witnessed at their dear alma mater.

Second Year Students The second year class has turned another leaf in the book of life, it is the second page in the academic chapter and they are mid-way through this section. The second year class has tasted for two years the trials and tribulations which are in High School life. Those who are back from last year are those who are determined to overwhelm their opposition. They are those who are willing to fight for their place o11 the thrones of higher achievements with the other men of success and fame. The class has shown their determination for betterment by the active part which they have taken in all campus activities, many of them have been out- standing regardless of their lack of epxerience and the inconvenience which is evidenced by their small number. These accomplishments have been in athletics as well as in scholastic and social activities both on the campus and in inter- scholastics. XVith the ending of the second year they are ready with much eagerness and anxiety to venture into the mysterious future of the third year of their search for knowledge. They have had only a comparatively small, nevertheless, a fair share of high school life and have learned to endure its hardships and seem- ingly impossible tasks. They have proven themselves school-worthy and are prepared for the future which fate may have in store for them.
