Donald n9f1' In due time we entered school and eventually completed our elementary education Four years ago, six very green freshmen walked into Saint Henry High They were Paul Manker, James Carr, Paul McKenzie, Donald Geiger, Hazel Alvey and Doris Wills Later in our Freshman year we were joined by a Polish DP, Hedwig Szaronowski After the newness had worn off, we discovered that it wasn't so bad at all We suffered some headaches from Algebra, but English Civics, and General Science were a breeze It was this year that the stu- dents of St Henry High had their first Retreat, and our new religion books were introduced With envious eyes we watched the Senior Class of '50 re ceive their diplomas The next year we looked with pity on the Freshmen and dreamed of our senior year That year we were four, James Carr, Donald Geiger, Paul Manker and Doris Wills During this year St Henry High held its first amateur show with such success that it has become an annual affair We passed our first Latin Aux illum Test with flying colors, entered the National Poetry Contest and par ticipated in a High School Spelling Bee September 1951 saw the four of us in the Junior Class We again en tered the National Poetry Contest, had our first radio broadcast, and simply laughed our way through the amateur show Then came Our Day, the Junior and Senior Prom The Prom proved to be a great success Even the Seniors con gratulated us At long last we were Seniors As we walked up the steps last September we were greeted with happy smiles There was an answering smile, too,on our faces, but deep in our hearts there was sadness This was the beginning of the end Officers for the year were elected We enjoyed our third Retreat Poetry Contest It was during this year that construction began on the New School The Juniors sponsored the Prom, and we began to study for final ex ams Then came graduation day, a day of joy and of tears Never again will we capture the thrills and heartaches we have experi enced in our High School years It is a part of youth, and with a sad heart we bid farewell to those days never to be regained, and certainly never to be forgotten Doris Wills '53 0 , . 1 ' ' our third amateur show, another radio broadcast, and, we again entered the . .
