The realization that high school life is real and- earnest will be revealed once and for all on June 6 when the coveted diploma will be received from the hands of Archbishop Urban J. Vehr in City Audi- torium. With editor's pencil, photographer's camera, print- er's rule, the following pages have been collected to record glimpses of the life of seniors during the scholastic year of l954. The joys and triumphs of the seniors and their classmates are' faithfully recorded for all time. Through these pages, lies the true meaning of the Fransalian motto, the Beauty of the Diely, for all our work, prayer and play are done for the greater honor and glory of God.

School bells rang out the symphony ot lnvltatlon to new and returning students on September 9. For many, those dear dread days were fortified by a summer well-spent: mountain plcnlcs: the Jurgens' strains along the Elltch midway: watching our Den- ver Bears fall short of flrst place: all of these and many more memories salved the shock of a new school year. The pre-season second guessers gave our Gremlins an upset chance in Parochial League football. Though we may have been short on score. we were long on spirit: every game was championship with everyone of us! Homecoming highlights every sea- son, and this was no exception. The game of the day, the charm of our queen, the galety of the dance all made fun and sparkle for Alumni and students alike.
