She was a proficient pianist and many were the happy dinner periods spent singing to her piano stylings. Sister Mau- reen, our Spanish teacher, whose room was adjacent to ours, often joined us in our vocalizing. SCENE 2 Though we were without the services of Tommy Hardiman, Jules Siroy and Company, our football team had a very good season. We won five, tied three, and lost two games. The basketball team had a poor season, because the coach attempted to give the under classmen experience in order to build up a team for the next two years. Baseball fared quite well. Promi- nent during the football and basketball seasons were the six cheerleaders, who did a fine job of cheering on the boys this year. SCENE 3 Some of the more enthusiastic students ventured to take the Globe Fellowship and the junior exams. The May procession was a splendid affair in which the students from the .first grade to the twelfth participated. SCENE 4 For four years we worked and studied, always climbing higher up the ladder of learning, until we reached the rung which has written on it high school graduation. It is difficult to explain the amount of joy in our hearts, yet there is a tear of sorrow in our eyes intermingled with those of happiness. It is the tear of fond memories of our four years at Saint john High. Leon Patrick Lapointe, Class of '48

AQUILA PAGE 45 I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-lvl-I-lvl-I-I-I-I-lvl-I-I-I-I-I Class Prophecy T is the year 1958, the month is May, and the date, the 15th. Everyone has come to New York so that he may experience the spectacular event that is about to take place. For in exactly one hour the Moonbeam will take off for its journey into the unknown world. The members of this expedition will remain there till they have accomplished all they planned. It is about time that I introduce you to the famous inventor of the Moon- beam, Jimmy Long, who, after his graduation at St. John, made remarkable advances and discoveries in the field of science. The men making the expedition are Henry Sullivan, Frank Sullivan, jerry Crawford, Paul Boucher, and john Shea. I wish you could see them dressed in their helmet suits. It is now time for the Moonbeam to take its departure. , President Paul Burke is here to wish the expedition good luck and success. The rocket is start- ing to move into position and now - there it goes. We can't even see it any more. The crowd is starting to move away and who should bump into me but Patricia Sullivan and Mary Donovan. They are work- ing as private secretaries to Raymond Bean and Eddie McCann, who are managing the National Stores all over the nation. Pat, Mary, and I decide we are hungry and so proceed to find a place to eat. We don't have to go far, for in the distance looms a large sign that reads, Come to Spike's, Double Decker Sandwiches Only. Pat said she knew that Ursula Beres was in New York working as a psychiatrist. So we went to the World Psychology Institution where we were told that we would have to wait an hour. We were conducted to the waiting room by Joyce Kiley, Ursula's able assistant. After a satisfactory conversation, we went to the R.'K. O. The Girl From Concord, was playing with Kitty Quimby in the leading part. She certainly did make a success of her career. After leaving Pat and Mary, I went to the Waldorf to stay. I discovered that Bob Cross and Roger Faretra were running that world famous hotel. In my room I turned on the radio and a familiar soprano voice filled the room. The announcer said I had been listening to Margaret Spaulding, featured with one of today's most popular bands led by Leo Landry, king of the jazz world, who has given it a new type of music.
