A DISTINGUISHED GUEST This year we were honored with the presence of one of the foundresses of our school, Reverend Mother Marie Gustave Superior General of the Sisters of the Holy Names. lt was so wonderful to have tht opportunity at least to convey our thanks to Reverend Mother Gustave, for surely one cannot by mere utterance of the word thanks express the gratitude we feel It was in 1920 that Mother Gustave, to gether with a few nuns, started the little mission school of Str Jean Baptiste. How she must have worked in those early years with her little band of Sisters to set the ground work for our flourishing St. .lean's as we know it today! We were very proud to be able to meet in our classrooms this kind Mother General. Today we, as Seniors, know only too well that thanks to the unceasing work and effort on the part of her sixteen Servants of God , we are graduating. WELCOME! One of our sixteen Servants of God is Sister lsidore de Seville, our Principal Sister lsidore is not a stranger at St .lean's, having had a preview of our school as a member of the high school faculty thirteen years ago. To our regret, after her brief stay of one year, Sister was as- signed to organize a domestic science de- partment inthe college of the Sisters of the Holy Namesin Windsor, Ontario. and had to leave us. In 1952 Sister lsidore became the pro- vincial assistant directress of studies at Manitoba, and in connection with this work, visited sixteen different schools. Last September, when Sister returned to Duluth to serve in the capacity of Princi- pal and Superior, the people and former pupils rejoiced for they had learned in the past to love and appreciate her devotedness. Now, as our Graduation Day draws pre- ciously near, we wish to thank Sister lsidore de Seville, whom we have found to be a wise counselor and friend, for making our last year at St. Jean's the happy year it was. 3,1 MOTHER MARLE GUSTAN E Superior General xf 4-an SISTER ISIDORE de SEVILLE Our Principal gdanged .gn guru fy my 74061144 SCAUO!

Jeanne Bernadette, third grade, a hearty Welcome, The Senior Class Wishes to mention in a very special manner our former teacher, Sister M, AnnaTherese, now in Montreal resting. An unusual thing for a Sister, isn't it? But we want you to know dear Sister, that we are praying for you each day. Pray for us too, that we rnay follow in all things--THE MASTER'S CALL. We like to call them THE BRAVE FOUR. Sister M. Rose Adelaide, Sister M. Claire Alda, Sister M. Anna Therese, and Sister Angeline Marie entered the Convent together. Sister Marie Lambert, graduate of the class of l952, is among these happy novices. o the Jvouzcea eczea hon 1 rfQ eg' R x fu Q jx ,fam O VY!

Ever mindful of its motto this year, the Girls' Club set out to accomplish its chosen project--that of purchasing new cheerleading uniforms. To raise the necessary funds the new members joined their Big Sisters and sponsored bake sales, a raffle, and after-the-game socials. On the fourth of December, when our six cheerleaders, attired in their beau- tiful new uniforms of blue and white, entered the gymnasium, we all felt very proud of ourselves. A sustained whole -hearted cooperation had done the work. Congratulations girls! And thanks. Our very special thanks go also to our Pastor, Father Savoieg our Principal, Sister M. Isidore de Sevilleg and the Mothers' Club who made the success of this enterprise possible. 2.2. Sweetheart Swing legafe Resolved that capital punishment should be abolished. Q...,, LEFT To RIGHT.

For, on that night, the Junior Class presented the Sweetheart Swing --three solid hours of entertainment with music featured by the Mellotone's. The auditorium was decorated in timely red and white, hearts making their appearance wherever we looked. Bright red balloons fluttered in the center of the room and dotted the curtains on the stage. The presence of nearly the entire student body helped to make this affair a great social success. The boys looking extremely polished Qboth manners and shoes, gallantly escorted girls who were also dressed most attractively. The charming chaperons seemed to enjoy themselves as much as we did. Looking back, we believe that St. Valentine himself must have smiled on the Sweetheart Swing. A very sincere note of thanks to Sister Jane Teresa and the students of the Junior Class for a most delightful social evening. lt will long be remembered.

While in Budapest, her rich cousin, Konrad, falls in love with Chonita, and she in turn is completely fascinated by society life. Suddenly Stefan reappears and Chonita re- ceives news that her father is very ill. She returns to the Gypsy camp and finds that she must decide between marriage to Stefan and Gypsy life, or marriage to Konrad and a life of luxury in Budapest. Days, Chonita's old nurse who accornpanies her on her trip, comes up with a solution to the problem, and adds a comical touch through her romance with one of the servants. , , .

Attired in gray choral gowns, the girls made a charming picture as they sang the carols which furnished the musical back- ground for the touching little Christmas story told by Claudia I-Iampston. As the program progressed, appropriate scenes were flashed on the screen illustrating the story of Jonathan, the Shepherd Boy. Through the medium of these scenes the audience saw Jonathan, the crippled little shepherd boy, seated on a hillside just outside of Bethlehem, warming himself by the fire on the first Christmas night. Hearing the heavenly choir, tour angels l and seeing the heavenly messenger who announced the Savior's birth, they followed Jonathan, as he bravely hobbled along toward Bethlehem. They sensed the rapture in the heart of thelittle shepherd as he knelt, at last, in adoration beside the Infant Jesus. In the scenes that followed, they saw Jonathan's dream of other lands come to life as the little shep- herd lay in an exhausted sleep at the feet of the Ma- donna and Child. Then, as the little boy awakened, they felt the joy that must have been his at the moment Mary asked him to hold the Blessed Infant while she prepared the manger bed. By this time the audience was hope- ful that something wonderful would happen to the little shepherd and the miracle was wrought as Jonathan's arms lovingly embraced the Tiny Babe. To the ex- ultant strains of the Gloria in Excelsis Deo little Jonathan arose, strai ht and tall-a triumphant pic- ture of all those Jonatlians who, through pain and suf- fering, seek the Savior in the arms of Mary, His Mother, and . in finding I-Iim, find true happiness. The program was brought to a close with the singing gf the beautiful hymn, Birthday of a King. A great part of the credit for a Successful broad- cast is due to our faithful organist, Barbara Sliney, who gave so generously and willingly of her time and talent both in the TV program, and in the repeat performance at the Sodality Party on December the twenty-ninth. 3 ik Og Sauk CU16!

V, ,rf Our CHEERLEADERS sporting their new outfits, FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ARE: Marlene Borske, Diane Roginski, Marilyn Rivers, Sharon Hempell, Virginia Huberty, and Arlene Borske. MIKE DSROCHE, Guard Mike who is a starting guard for the Ramblers, is only a sophomore. This Soph who has the best set shot on the team, is constantly a high scorer. He is an excellent dribbler and has exceptional speed. The team is looking forward to him in fu- ture years for a push toward its goal--victory! JIM DOWNS, Center Jim was the center for the Ramblers this year. A constant scorer and rebounder at every game, he was a valuable asset to the team. Being 6' 1 , a height which is somewhat short for a center, Jim possesses uncanny jumping ability, and can reach well over the rim. His right and left hand hook shots are effective, but his turn-around jump shot is tops, A Junior, our center will be with the team for one more year. ,. o- XJ' TOM BECOTTE, Captain Tom, a starting forward for the Ramblers this year, stands 5' ll . He is a very good rebounder even against men four or five inches taller than he. Tom, a member of the team ever since he was a Freshman, was elected captain for 1954 by his teammates. His specialties are a set shot from the corner or a driving jump shot that rarely miss their mark. His courageous spirit and defensive ability have helped the Ramblers in many a game. The team will surely miss their hard fighting captain in '56. MIKE ROULEAU, Forward Playing forward this year, Mike, the 6' 1 stringbean was a valuable asset to the Ramblers. His outside set shots combined with his height brought many a victory within our reach. A good feeder, he is also very effective at turn-around jump shots, Only aSophomore, he will, we know, help make and keep, the Ramblers victors. 39 l Jotm PLUCIN John who was only a Freshn the team's leading scorers all year Starting the seaso he was shifted to a guard i up and played both positior a good set shot, he also ha We'll be looking forward tc future years.

The Ramblers jumped off to a quick first quarter ll-4 lead on set shots from outside the Iron River tight zone defense. Then in the next session, Coach Pete Savage took the first five out and platyed the second five. In that quarter, the Iron River ive pecked away at the Rambler lead and the St. Jean second five scored infrequently and as a result Iron River led at halftime, 20-14. Coming out at the half the visitors rallied back in the third quarter and started hitting from out with regularity again and thus led by five going into the final canto. With sparkplug guards John Plucinak and Mickey De Roche stealing the ball, often the visitors managed to keep a slim lead as the Iron River quint kept pace with the Ramblers in the final quarter. The score was tied and kept on an even basis in the last two minutes and with 20 seconds left John Plucinak stole the ball at the half and drove in to sink the layup, making the score 38-36, and icing the game for St. Jean's. Leading the offensive work in the point department were Captain Tom Be- cotte and John Plucinak with ll and 10 points re- spectively. Center Jim Downs, the big, rugged 6' 2 1X2 junior, pulled down plenty of rebounds off both boards to help the winning cause. Both teams were ketpt at bay in the scoring because of the tight zone de enses employed by both quints. SUPERIOR CA TI-IEDRAL BEATS ST. JEAN'S On November 17, the Ramblers invaded the Superior Cathedral gym to tangle with the Panthers. The Ramblers kept pace with t e Cathedral team for 2 112 quarters and then bowed in the final canto, 66-48. The Panthers trailed at the end of the first quarter 17-16, but jumped into a 31-28 halftime lead. In the last half the Cathedral team, alternating with two or three teams, pulled slowly away from the tiring Ramblers. Although the Panthers had superior height, a pair of Ramblers, Jim Downs and Tom Becotte, controlled the boards. Freshman guard John Plucinak sparked the Ramblers offensive move with 17 points. 40 ST. JEAN'S TIPS TOIVOLA-MEADOWLANDS On January 12, the Meadowlands five invaded the Rambler gymnasium to meet the St. Jean's quint. The ame started off slowly with both teams evenly matcied for the first quarter. The second quarter was also evenly matched and the halftime found the Ramblers leading, 31-28. In the third quarter, the Ramblers caught fire. The shots that weren't drop- ping before were dropping now. Led by steady re- ounding and feeding of the lanky sophomore forward Mike Rouleau, the Rambler five jumped to a bulging 17 point: lead at the third quarter mark. But in the last quarter the Rockets failed to be denied. The St. Jean team let up somewhat and the visitors kept up a steady fight and finally pulled the game into a tie. The score was tie several times after that and the tie score at 50-50 with 10 seconds left set the sta e for freshman guard John Plucinak's long one-hanged push shot which iced the game for the Ramblers. The shot was from 35 feet out and there was no mistake about its mark as it swished the nets to win the game. In the scoring department, Mike Rouleau, John Plucinak, and Tom Becotte hit for 14, 13, and 13 points respectively to lead the winners. ea eam. DULUTH CATHEDRAL EDGES ST. JEAN'S On January 8, the Duluth Cathedral Hilltoppers met the Ramblers on the latter's court The Cathe- dral team jumped off to a 20-7 lead and went on to win, 50-42. At stages in the third and fourth quarters the Ramblers rallied to within 5 points of Cathedral, but the Toppers staved off the rallies and went on to win. Howie Blackwood scored 16 points to lead the winners. Leading the losers was Captain Tom Be- cotte with ll markers. The St, Jean team was hampered considerably by fouls in the last half, most of the first five having four or five. ST. On February 12, the Ramblers were at 1 home for the final game of the season. This was also St. Jean's homecoming. The Ram blers disposed of the Minong five without any trouble, winning, 82-25. In the triumph the St. Jean Five scored at least 20 points in each quarter exce t the first when they scored 19 They led at the first quarter 19-3, and at the half 41 -13. The Ramblers stole the ball con tinuously and employed the fast break to run the opponents ragged. They also controlled both o fensive and devensive rebounds. Leading the attack for St. Jean's were John Plucinak and Tom Becotte with 24 and 14 points re spectively. Coach Pete Savage sprinkled the floor at various intervals with reserves as the Ramblers ran up the highest score in the schoo1's history. The previous record was 77 set in 1952. The victors held Minong scoreless in the final quarter JEAN'S SMASI-IES MINONG .SlJa6f, rojecf An activity especially befitting this Marian Year was the Poster Contest sponsored by the Sodality. Ninety-five pupils submitted entries inspired by the theme: To make Mary better known and loved. ln Group One--Grades 3, 4, 5--the prize-winners were John Krol, Mary Catherine Picconatto, and Mary Ann DeGrugillier. The Winners in Group Two--Grades 6, 7, 8--were Sharon Claveau, Patrick O'Le-ary, and Rita Collette. Barbara Sliney's poster was judged the best of those submitted by the high school classes. Reverend Father Joseph A. Hughes, Reverend Father Zephirin Magnan, and Sister M. lsidore were the judges. All the posters were exhibited in the Church hall for several days, and a large number of parishioners was thus able to see this interesting and inspiring display of talent dedicated to Our Blessed Mother. jre5Alner1 .L71 L l A group of freshmen exhibit a few of the posters made during their study of the liturgical year. While Pat Myre, Sharon Hempel, and Claudia Depre, Qcenter, left to rightl point out through the use of a circular chart the divisions that make up the Temporal Cycle of the church, George Lafontaine and Marilyn Strauss fextreme left and rightl through their illustrations on the Mass, indicate the best way of ful- fillingl the Church's Wish that we live the liturgical year with Christ. T ese posters, together with many others illustrating the Sanctoral Cycle, the Liturgical colors, and special feasts, were used in a panel discussion presented by the freshmen for Sister M. lsidore, principal. To honor Mary in a very special Way this year, the Seniors organized a Marian Year Council whose chief aim is to bring Mary more specifically into every activ- ity. Officers of this council are David Ouellette, chairman: John Cech, Arlene Borske, and Bernice Karger. To assist them in their project, the council appointed a poster committee whose main purpose is to spread Catholic Faith through the Catholic Press and devotion to our Lady. Members of this committee shown with one of their Catholic Press posters are, left to right, Dolores Mackaman, Betty Lou Lammers, Chairmang Tom Becotte, and Mary Honer. Pat McDonnell was absent when the picture was taken. TUEEELTLWESM nun econ mtrmuwt em'0 4 1 .f-V' fi' Qlt l me . ,,., , , me v . f V3-Q 5 ' x x T f yi If 5 ,.

To find the cause, let's take a peek behind the scenes and watch the Laurel staff at work. First of all, we must search through innumerable papers scattered around the room where busy students have deposited them with many sighs and groans. Ahl Now we catch a glimpse of them. But they aren't working at all as we expected them to be. . .in fact, they don't seem to be doing a thing, just sitting there, staring off into space. But wait, one of them seems to be coming around, now. Suddenly, sheileaps into the air with a joyous yell, I've got itl l've got itl Whatever she's discovered seems to be catching, forthe others quickly whirl around and look up at her expectantly. After a few simple explanations, we find that she is not distracted, but has just figured out a verse suitable for the last senior on the yearbook list. The cause of this strange behavior is the fast approaching deadline of November I2, for the first send-off of multiple pages to the publishers. If you've ever been on the yearbook staff, you know what I mean. Heading the staff this year are center: Eunice Peloquin and Jackie Tuttle, Co-Editors, and on the ends: John Cech and Delores Mackaman, Assistant Editors.

The world this year is declaring you universal, con- X secrating itself completely to you. fl 3 You are, I know, the way to grace, to faith, to mercy, to love. Only through my love, my dependence on you, I can I ever reach your Son. Ibeg of you, my Mother, to help me. I..et me lean on you--that's what Mothers are for. Iimplore your assistance in becoming universal. Not to pull away from life, but to really live. To drink in with relish, with continued wonder, the beauty, the joy, the thrill and happiness of being alive. With you with me, life is infinitely worth living! Precious Mother o' Mine, to you--my all. My body, my mind, my heart, my soul. I'm yours, You're mine. Not only this year, but always. Shower me, I pray, with the graces, the help I stand so sorely in need of. Gently reach into the Sweet Heart of Jesus, your God and my God, and try to steal a tiny spot there for me! To Him through you--I know. Help me to cast off and keep weeded out the hypocrisy, the superficiality that creeps in so stealthily, so insidiously, so easily. I pray you make me forget myself, to live a life for others--the sick, the needy, the poor, the down-and-out, both in soul and body. I will never come this way again, dear Mother--with the help of you and your Divine Son--make it a wonderful trip--stamp indelibly in my heart, as it is in both your Hearts, that happiness in life is Love. May I never, never forget my human frailties, my human weaknesses, humbly remembering forever my utter, my com- plete nothingness without Hirn. Envelop me endlessly, in His tenderest love and His boundless mercy, I beg you, my Mother, make me humble and grateful always. Be with me, eternally, precious Mother o' Mine. In life's most lone hour-- my last--embrace me tenderly, caress me lovingly, whispering softly to sweetest Jesus, He belongs to me! '4'Mama darling, Mama dearest, Mama sweetheart.
