The TRUMPET 4 1 1 O Senior Class History HE years nineteen twenty-four and nineteen twenty-six will long be remembered by the Commercial Class of nineteen twenty-six, for it was in the former year we began eagerly the studies that ended and that will place us with the hundreds who have left St. Gabriel's fully equipped to enter the business world. We were delighted on the first day of school, when, after hearing Holy Mass, we entered the classroom and found our capable instructor, Sister Mary Ursula, seated at her desk ready to hand out to us knowledge garnered in years of study and experience. There was the usual large enrollment. The sessions extended from 8:50 A. M. to 11:45 A. M. and from 1:10 P. M. to 3:00 P. M. Nothing was spared to make us scholastically as competent as our predecessors in the depart- ment. Nor was the social side neglected, for we conducted many little social affairs that have left fragrant memories. One of the most en- joyable occurred June 3rd, when we attended the Fete and Field Meet at College Misericordia, Dallas, Pennsylvania. Our Junior year closed with the animal entertainment which because of its superiority and rarity attracts hundreds every year. With the importance and confidence that is at- 45 tached to seniority we commenced our final year desirous of being the beSt class that ever left St. Gabriel's. Filled with this purpose we de- voted most of our time to our studies until now we .find Finis written boldly across them. We know of course that we have not finished, that we are only beginning, that there is but one end, and that is when Finis is written indelibly upon our life's work. Preparation for this im,- portant ending was not the least part of our Commercial course, since it closes a bigger. more important business than we shall ever handle in the world of Commerce. As officers during this year we had Mary Farrell, presidentg john Urislin, vice presidentg Norah Boyle, secretaryg Manus Gallagher, treasurer. Under their guidance we conducted the few literary and social affairs we permitted ourselves in a busy year. In our two years as Commercial students we had set before us high and noble ideals and were taught to aim at becoming better citizens and better Christians. This aim implies strength of character, and calls for patience, virtue and tact. VVe are leaving the school with the fixed de- termination of achieving success. NORAH V.
