FIRST COLLEGIATE ANTHONY MOLISKI In 1937, as we entered the beckoning embrace of the seminary, we became acquainted with the road to the priesthood. It was not a smooth open highway, but rather a tortuous mountain road. Winding around rocks, overlooking deep crevices, and precipitous inclines, the road ahead with its twelve milestones, looked treacherous and unsurpassable. But at its summit lay the holy priesthood and a resplendent golden chalice, which gave us strength and courage to begin the ascent. We were bothered at the beginning by homesickness, new subjects, and initia- tion. Two years later, those horror books, Kaegi-Kleist, and Evans-Roesller made their attacks. At times, success and victory seemed within our grasp, but then a landslide would come, and snatch them from us. But the thought of what awaited us at the end of our journey revived our somewhat disintegrated courage, and by perseverance and good effort, we hit the enemy wherever and whenever we could. Now, with our eyes to the future, with regenerated strength, joyful hearts and the help of God, we continue our journey in quest of the holy priesthood.

The Humming Bird IOHN I-IANNAN, '43 You frolic through the leaves in Spring And take the green upon your wing, Into the snow you lightly dart And wear the white above your heart. The sunsets spread their grand displays, Dazzled, you crash against the rays, Emerge and mount and proudly fly, Stained with orange and golden dye. I wish that I were like to you, Haunting hummer from the blue, That everywhere my fancy went, I could but snatch a sentiment. 11ll01 g'1'ClClUClfQS

FOURTH ACADEMIC GERARD KELLY The class of '44 will, we trust, live long in the history of St. Fidelis. Our class has few geniuses but many practical men. Examples of this are: Louis Nemeth, our demure senior, has proved his worth by keeping peace and order in the study hall. Red Hobaugh demonstrated his blitzkrieg abilities in bringing out the April edition of the Echo. Joe Farkas will 'be remembered for his stirring interpretation of Judas in the annual Passion Play. Roman Groskiewicz during the past year dili- gently applied himself to the numerous duties as librarian. George Zivic was Fr. Director's personal secretary. Dick Rowe, long, lean, and learned, is an intelligent bright spot. He has performed his oflice as sacristan in a highly efficient manner. Red Stuber and his masterful rendition of Alfred Noyes' The Highway- man will long be remembered. Joe Finerty was chief dispenser of sweets and religious articles in the mission store. Lastly, there is your humble scribe. His only hope for immortality lies in the fact that, through winter snows and summer heat, he has piloted the seminary car, running errands for Fr. Director, chauffeuring, and keeping that Sunday shine on our Plymouth.
