f' f A N :33-20-3-3-3-33-3-33Qj161 ERCEZDee-cz-e-e-a-ae-e-cz-ca-c Alumni tt Time rolls his ceaseless course. eScott. QAS THE years roll rapidly by, everyone must move forward; everyone must pass the success sive rungs in the ladder of life. In the element- ary schools these advancements come and go merely as a matter of course, for the student is too young to realize the value of those days spent in preparation for the future. The graduation from grammar school is the first thrill in a boyts life. It leads him to the expectation of greater things. In the high school the most important step is made after the senior year. It is then that the student makes a complete break with the past, and steps into a new era of his life. Many students have passed through the por- tals of our high school life for the last time. The majority of them, however, have not left us to battle our way alone. They have passed on to the Hother side, where we can watch them, as it were, through a telescope. We see their achieve- ments and try to exceed them; we see their mis- takes, and try to remedy them in our own lives. The achievements of our Alumni in this yeaNs work have been numerous and varied. Classes, s0- eieties, and sports have all yielded their shares to this collection of successes. By their untiring efforts the classes in gen- eral have attained splendid results in their class- work, the chief purpose of their life here at the Seminary. Fifth class, the freshmen of the Col- lege department, took their place at the opening of the year, and continued the excellent work for which they were noted while still in our midst. They found that, with zealous work and trust in God, they could succeed as well in their new course as they did in the High School department. The members of First Philosophy, starting their real course for the priesthood, have borne the task well. Now, at the close of the year, they are satisfied that they have acquired a good foun- dation in that all-important study, Philosophy. Second Theology comprises a set of students small in number, but zealous and ambitious. They upheld their reputation this year when practically the entire class received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. On the same day that they received this honor two deaeons and four priests received their Master of Arts degrees. From this we may see that the Alumni, even after leaving the Seminary, turn again to their Alma Mater to seek higher qualifications in their life work. In February most of the members of the Fourth course ended their days of study at St. Francis, when they were ordained to the Holy Priesthood. The three remaining deacons were ordained later in the scholastic year. Society work during the year, as far as we know, was most successful. The members of the High School were invited to the Columbus Day and Washington-Lincoln programs prepared by the St. Thomas Literary and Debating Society. Judging from these manifestations of their abili- ties, we can readily say that their undertakings, had a prosperous termination. After Easter, ttHamlet, one of Shakespearets best tragedies, was presented by the St. Thomas Society. Each player took his part excellently, and the play was a complete success. It was indeed one of the best ever presented at this Sem- inary. In sports competition ran high during the past year. The principal football games were played between the Classics and the higher classes, but the two games played in the Seminary department showed real spirit and football training. In the first game of the season Sixth class took a hard-fought battle from Fifth class by the slight margin of three points. The score was 6-3. First Philosophy then defeated Second Philosophy 7-0. Had the two winning teams; Sixth class and First Philosophy--p1ayed a game, we do not hesitate to say that it would have been one of the best games of the season. The new Ernest G. Miller Memorial Building, furnished with a gymnasium, bowling alleys, bil- liard tables and other recreational features, af- forded the students in the other departments plenty of exercise during the winter months. Basketball led the list of these sports. There were league games and class games in such num- bers that almost everyone had a chance to par- ticipate. The class games were particularly in- teresting. Fifth class had one of the strongest teams. They found little difficulty in beating Sixth class and broke even with the fast-stepping Third Theology five--winning one game and losing one.

Two classes, Second and First Philoso- phy, were at the top of the league from the start. At the end of the first round of eighteen games, Second Philosophy led, followed closely by Firs Philosophy. ' Billiard tournaments and hand ball occupied the spare time of those who did not care to take part in the major sports. Our Alumni indeed embraces a group of stu- dents active in every aspect of seminary life; they are worthy scholars as well as excellent sports- men. Looking back over the pages of seminary history, we see the footprints they have left to guide us on to the goal which they have already won; looking forward we eagerly yearn to be with them, to share their hardships, to partake in their ' joys, and at last with them to join the ranks of the eternal priesthood.
