CLASS HISTORY TOR the last four ears we who are now raduatin have tenanted the variouls classrooins at Saint Johng The Eine has come when We must leave and we look back over those years, 1i'ielr:?ki wondering at the swiftness with which they have Hown by. How 'many anecdotes we recall! In our Freshman days when we were first introduced into high school life, all was strange and our big eyes grew bigger at every new revelation. So large was our number that three rooms were needed to hold us and to each group a certain room became Home. Wise teachers led us deftly through new channels of Algebra, Latin and Science and renewed our friendship with Religion and English. With enthusiasm we attended basketball games, at Hrst, scarcely knowing what the whole thing was about. At dances we got under the heels of upper classmen who teased us un- mercifully because we were Frosh. We weathered exams and other more or less unpleasant incidents, and before we knew it our first year in high school was over. Returning from our summer vacation, we invaded the Sophomore field Where we met new friends in the guise of Geometry, French, Business Page Twenty-eight ST. JCI-IN ANNUAL ST.

We now separated into two distinct groups, Classical and Commercial. Intramural activities kept us from complete separation, however, and our old happy family spirit was maintained. The event of the year, of course, was the Prom. How resplendent we were in our first evening clothes! All in all, life was a bowl of cherries and did we indulge? Yeah man! In no time at all the final junior exams were upon us and they, in theirunobtrusive CED way, marked the close of the term. We came back in September ready to enjoy our superior position as Seniors. Nevertheless, most of us worked hard with a view toward gradu- ation. Our Harvest Hop and Senior Dance were both successful affairs which everyone enjoyed. For the lovely Prom we attended, we thanked, and do thank, the Junior class with all our hearts. Now the rings are ordered, Year Book in shape and we must go. Looking backward We find much cause for joy and little for regret.

Much as the job fascinates me, how- ,jzgfli ever, I find relaxation necessary. VVith this in mind, I boarded Z1 Westbound train and prepared to enj oy myself for three weeks. After lunch, I strolled through the cars and as I neared the observa- tion platform I collided with a distinguished looking man Who, instead of showing annoyance, looked at me and grasped my hand, shouting my name. A swift glance at his face astounded me and I cried, Lou Aloialv For such he Was. Soon we were seated together, busily comparing notes, as it Were. In the course of the conversation, I learned that Lou was a member of the legal firm of Eisele Gavin 8: lVlcKeoWn.

Miss Lupo had come to tell her employer that another former classmate, John Baird, was our conductor. What could we do but send for him and have him join our alumni party? Someone disclosed the information that Gert Donlevy was a successful teacher of math at Vassar. Shades of Sister Adeline! I then attested to the fact that Marie Nolan and Peg Farley had recently appealed to me for a monetary contribution to their excellent nursing home. Lou in- sisted that Peg probably Wanted the money for Nestle bars. Mary, being a woman, knew all about John O'Donnell, the newest movie star, and John Irek, New jersey's gift to the world of poetry.

An- Page F arty-four 1 other invitation to the state tournament was also rejected because it con- flicted with our own city ournament. At the close of the season, the whole squad and the managers were the guests of the Spiritual Director at a dinner in the Alexander Hamilton Hotel. In recognition of their efforts, all the boys received lifetime trophies! Present at the speakers' table were: The Right Reverend Monsignor Delehanty, Revernd Walter Hill, Reverend Joseph Dempsey, Reverend Aiden Burns, Reverend Father Ruppert, Reverend Father Smith, Mr. Daniel Dowling, donor of the trophy and two representatives of Paterson newspapers.

They are vying for the city, state and parochial championships, and have been invited to compete in the Tri-County League Elimination Tour- nament. The have Won the first round b defeatin Lodi and have now y 1 Y e U progressed to the semi-finals Where they are to cross bats with the strong team representing Bayonne High. At Lodi a thriller Was witnessed. In the last half of the eighth frame with John's trailing 6-3, Sisco, leading off, clouted a home run, his second for the day. Donnelly singled. McAllister grounded out, Donnelly going to second. Boronkas doubled, scoring Donnelly. Murphy walked. Rueschlin hunted, advancing Boronkas and Murphy to third and second. Now came the tense moment, Marty Gavin up, the tying and Winning runs on base. Could he come through? He did! A Texas leaguer found its Way in short left center sending Boronkas and lylurphy With the tying and Winning tallies respectively. A last Winning rally by Lodi was choked by Sisco, ace port-side hurler, who Went to Work and retired the side in short order. Page F arty-.rezielz The team has now been invited to compete in the North Jersey Par- ochial Elimination Tournament, the games of which will soon be played. WVith a set schedule of nearly 15 games the boys have started off with an audible click, for at the time of this writing they have fulfilled our ex- pectations by winning the first 11 games, outscoring their opponents 103 runs to 25.

O PROPHECY lffontinued from Page 30 Bairdy looked at me scornfully. Don't you know that Andy is the cream of the Yankees' pitching staff? For a newspaper editor, I really am quite dumbj. Remember Jeanie ArnauP asked Lupe, She's first assistant to Maggy Roulf at Paris. Well, I know one alumnus who visits quite often. He's Chink Limongi. Chink', is basketball coach there, they tell me that the team is quite good, too, John replied. For some time I had noticed a young couple sitting quite near to us. They were so engrossed in each other that I knew they must be newlyweds. I had a strong feeling that I knew them but I was a good deal surprised to find that the man was none other than my high school friend, Gerry Hayes! In a short time this young man was made aware of our presence and he and his bride joined the party, the bride, too, was a former student at Saint John's. For several hours we talked, and at night I switched trains regretfully and went on to the VVest. Arriving in Texas, I made straight for a dude ranch recommended to me, and guess who the rancher was, don't guess- I'll tell you--none other than my handsome classmate, John Donnelly! Three Week's in Don's company promised to be pleasant. An interesting fact which I noted was that Mrs. Donnelly's sitting room was decorated with several pictures by those famed artists, Lee Mc- Garry and Henry Schor. One night, Don invited the sheriff to the ranch. Please don't faint when I tell you that the sheriff was Harry Koert! Bidding goodbye to the West, I left for home. YVhen I arrived, I was greeted by a new secretary named Rita Norman. Again I had someone with whom to discuss old friends, among whom were Ann Baird, the second Babe Didrikson, and the lady secretary of war, Lil- lian Verduin. The life of a city editor is not humdrum-nor are his vacations!

Many missionaries from I Ig I various parts of the World delivered interesting talks concerning X' - ' their mission fields afar. Their Words Were received with hearty enthusiasm by the student body and inspired an ardent missionary zeal in us to Work and pray for the missions. Each class participated meritoriously in mission Work. During the year new songs were composed and sung at the Mission Unit meetingsg money was raised through sales of cake, candy, magazines and dances were held by various classes. All in all, We have had a successful year of great mission advancement. To the under-class men We throw the torch!

John has again seen the- coming and passing of a.very produc- l f tive and eventful dramatic season. Productive-in that much new talent has been discovered for the coming years, and old WY talent developed to higher perfection, and eventful-in the fact that the year has been quite full of presentations due to the ceaseless and untiring elforts of Mr. Deane, who has spent many hours of his own time in rehearsing his ffcastsn, and to the members of the Dramatic Society who have spent much of their leisure time in order to bring their programs to success. A one-act play, Thank You, Doctor, UThe Shakespearean Festival, and the Senior Play, ln Quest of Art, have all been very suc- cessfully given to large audiences who showed their full appreciation of the students' efforts. ln the early part of the year a Pageant-One Hundred Years of Catholic Action-was presented by both Grammar and High Schools. The scenes, depicting the highlights of the school's history from the Master's School of one hundred years ago to the present flourishing institution, were very ably portrayed. To all who have labored so generously in making this past year out- standing in its dramatic endeavors We extend our heartiest thanks and our best wishes for further success along this line in the future. Page Fiffy-one THE ANNUAL HARVEST I-IOP NIULATING the example of their worthy predecessors, the IV-B class again boosted the Harvest Hop over the top with a huge Bang! lt was the largest and most successful of its kind. Taking place in the Entre Nous, December 6, 1935, it was a most joyous and festive occasion. Large numbers of students, alumni, and friends contributed to make the dance eminently successful. The students of the IV-B class deserve praise for Working so hard to put it over. EE M' SENIOR DANCE ,HE Senior Classical Department did its bit for charity this year by sponsoring the Senior Dance. The North Jersey Ramblers' . Orchestra was engaged for the alfair, which took place on April 4ff4lr.:zQ , 17, at the Elks, Club. We truly believe that the dance was en- joyed by all who attended, and that, after all, is what counts. The Seniors, who 'Worked so hard to live up to the tradition which surrounds this annual event, felt amply paid for all their Work, when they donated to a parish charity the proceeds realized. ' Page F ifty-two CDN TI-IE DEPARTURE ' UR high school life has reached its termination. School bells IE will sound ne'r more, for many of us. We have passed a mile- stone in life which will never return. We cannot, now, turn E32-V? .47 back even if we Would. We must embark for the swifter waters of grave responsibility. As we pass from high school, a vigilance for our well-being loosens. There is a new thing which we must learn to do - plan our own path to spiritual and material success. We are like the young wolf, deserted by its parents to sharpen its own instincts and strength through hazardous adversity. Each of us has two places waiting. The first is that Kingdom which was prepared for us, the second, a responsible position in human society. VVe can reach the first only through the trials of the second. Our situation is not without its tragic, pathetic and humorous sides. The graduating class, perhaps, contains professions varying from that of undertaker to dog-catcher. But each is necessary, each satisfies a demand and serves society. No matter what your employment, don't be ashamed to do the work of a human being. Face the future with a smile. Nothing happens to any man which he is not formed by Nature to bear. Few of us will ever become great, even locally. But though we do not possess the transient things valued by the foolish, sophisticated, average , half-wit, who-although he forms a very large class in contemporary society-prides himself on his originality and non-conventionalityv, we have greater, latent, inalienable, God-given things-sincerity, gravity, perseverance in Work, aversion to pleasure, contentment with our portion, benevolence, frankness, magnanimity and freedom from trifling. If we hold these valuable, essential things, we are sure of spiritual happiness in this and the following world. ' JAMES KEARNEY '36 Page Fifty-three ON RIDING HOBBY HORSES THERE is no better pastime than riding a hobby horse. The boundaries are limitless and the pathways full of adventure. The expense is trifling and the benefits great. All you need is the will to do, and the equipment to do it. There are several hundred good hobbies, there must be one to suit your individual preference. If you are mechanically inclined, model boat, airplane construction, pen drawing, knitting, whittling or painting should occupy your attention. If your preference is music, the harmonica, banjo, etc., will naturally be your choice. A scientifically inclined person will revel in a world of microscopes, telescopes, and test tubes-or stamps and coins. In the author's opinion there are no finer hobbies than astronomy and microscopy. Both transport you to far away, mysterious lands, full of amazing sights. It has been said, that no instrument made by man, so deeply moves the inner mind to a feeling of overwhelming religious awe, as the telescope, revealing, as it does, the wondrous, inexplicable order of the universe. The planet Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, and the poles of Mars are never-to-be-forgotten sights. The microscope also reveals a world of breath-taking opportunities for exploration. Tiny animals, smaller than the point of a pin are magni- fied through the lenses of a microscope until they become odd-shaped, frightful-looking monsters, cruel beyond belief. Bits of common moss become beautiful forests of green, delicate foliage. A truly modern miracle of man-the microscope! Hobbies benefit both body and mind in many ways. They supply the much-needed amusement and relaxation. They ease the routine of life, sharpen thought, and make us more interesting to others. By all means get a hobby and indulge in it for joy alone. You will profit by the decision. HARRY KOERT '36 Page Fiffy-fnm' ALUMNI EWS of those who have left our school is always welcome. On , those rare occasions when it is our fortune to meet a former class- il l ' mate, this complaint is usually heard: Why don't we meet more Z often? We are scattered, and never hear of one another. So to refresh memory and strengthen those bonds of friendship formed in Saint John, we mention a few names: The president of the class of '28, Marie Roach, now Mrs. Charles Schall, is happily engaged in loving the jewel God has sent her. The jewel is called Mary Louise. Leroy McParlin, whose wit brightened many school days, recently joined the ranks of the benedicts. For his bride, he took another graduate of Saint John, Veronica Walsh. Margaret McDonnell is on the proof-reading staff of one of our most successful printing houses. William Cannon is a master of the art of salesmanship. His pal, Thomas Karaty, is also in the commercial swing. Mary McDonough, after a serious illness, is at home enjoying each day as it comes and looking forward to more hospital work. Helen Kearney graduates from Saint Elizabeth College in June, 1937. Howard Tuthill is to be found at any alumni meeting that is called. Irene McClellan brings to her husband, whom she married at Easter, her charm and earnestness. Catherine Baumann is doing secretarial work in New York. Edmund McDonnell is continuing his education at Saint Peter's with great success. Regina Dennehy is at Paterson State Teachers' College. Agnes Foy is doing clerical work at the Paterson Office of the Tele- phone Company. ' Catherine Collins, Jessie Rollo and Elizabeth Connelly were gradu- ated from St. joseph's Training School in May. May Matthews, Grace McBride and the Baird Twins are to be gradu- ated from Montclair Teachers' College this June. Leocadia Rosczewski, who is on the Bishop's scholarship at St. Eliza- beth's, is continuing the good work she began at St. John's. Julia Baird, now Sr. Mary St. john O. S. F., has been admitted to the American Society of Radiologicaltechnicians. Louis Saco, after graduating from St. Peter's with honor, is studying medicine at Georgetown. John McGlade joined the faculty of Passaic County Junior College. Page F ifty-five . . flu gllllemuriam . . ' ffnvag- N the death of Sister Regina we have lost a great educator and a K W l greater friend. Sister spent over forty years of her religious life in Saint -Iohn's. il' -!7!1kf i i Her duties brought her into contact with girls of varied characters and temperaments, yet she always succeeded in bringing out the best qualities of each. Her truly Christian character and her ardent devo- tion to her calling have not failed to leave their impression in the hundreds of students who have gone out from St. John's. The High School owes its existence to her foresight. She was a pioneer who early felt the need of Catholic Education for boys and girls of high school age and who had the courage to venture upon this new held. Always there was a gentleness, a sweetness of manner, a child-like simplicity about her. To God she gave the service of a life of prayer and sacrifice and to His children, the boys and girls of Saint John's, she gave the service of kindness and understanding. Her thoughts were all .ro full of us She never could forget, Ami so we think that where she is She must he 'watching yezf' AN ALUMNA Page F iffy-six S1s'1'ER MARY REQINA Page Ififfy-w:'c11 A Sl-IORT Sl-IORT STORY HE walked along, head held erect, with light, springy steps. i Her face showed clearly the joy she felt in living. Life is worth living, she thought, on a day like this. The man at her side glanced appraisingly down at her. His sharp, blue eyes scrutinized every feature of her lovely face. How beauti- ful she looks today, he thought. She was always lovely, but especially so today, with the sun gleaming on her short, golden curls, blue eyes fringed with thick, curly lashes, cheeks whipped to a rosy glow by the wind, sweep- ing over the hillside. As they neared the center of the city, they stopped to gaze at a Horist window, filled with a beautiful array of early, spring blossoms. They're so gorgeous, whispered the young girl huskily. If only,', she stopped abruptly and gently tugged at her companion's elbow. They resumed their interrupted walk now at a quicker pace. A dis- tant chime brought a worried crease to the heretofore serene brow of the girl. Time, neglected before, now became an element tremendously im- portant. One thought beat incessantly in her brain. They must make it -oh, they must. The whispered comments, knowing nods, that would follow their late arrival. The thought was unbearable. Finally with a suppliant gesture, and a timid glance upward, she broke the long silence with the whispered lea: p 'fOh, daddy, do hurry or we'll be late for church. MARGARET CoNLoN '36 AUTUMN The glowing summer sun is going down, The azure sky has donned its purple gown. The birds are heading towards their homes down South, The winter's cold is blast forth from its mouth. The leaves to yellow turn with each new day, The bark grows dark, the wintry blast will stay. Autumnal days are rarely such as these, lt's great to hear the wind among the trees. The farmer reaps the harvest as he sings, And Works until the distant Angelus rings. Now comes an end to summer's kingly reign, And Autumn is supreme in his domain. MAE MULLEN '36 Page Fifty-eight Rt. Rev. Msgr. T. Delehanty Rt. Rev. Msgr. Adelbert Frey Rev. Rev. Rev. Rev. Rev. Rev.
