T H E E A G L E Twenty-Five CLASS HI TORY OF JUNIORS In September, 1925, our class started their freshman year in an S. J. C. A. car. They had chosen this make of auto because the makers, St. John's Catholic Academy, had won many gold medals throughout the states, and had numerous testimonials from people who had ridden to success in it. Our chauffeur, Sister Gerard, was exceed- ingly capable and knew perfectly the road. Our gas and oil, which we ran out of quite often, was two or three hours of home work each night. Our first year on the ',road went smoothly by with only one noticeable interrup- tion. Yve went riding one day and had a Hblowoutn at Edward's Fallsq but, unlike most. motorists we enjoyed it immensely, In June, 1926, the car was put into the garage for re- pairs and we returned home for a vacation. The auto was taken out in September in perfect condition. Ive had a new driver, Sister 1Iary Agnes, who took us along a new road. The sophomore year was filled with detoursg our pilot was taken ill, but, even in her illness, insisted on our driving ahead. IVe completed our second year successfully and the car was put away for another two months. Returning in September, 1927, we found that we had a shift of drivers, Mother Geraldine and Sister Rose Beatrice. The next term ushered in a new era in our travelogue. Quite often we had discussions concerning the right- fulness of capital punishment and the guilt of our fellow classmen, accused of murder. The greatest change, however, was in the car itself. Ive added a few new accessories that improved the auto. Among these were an interclass paper, a Junior card party and a Junior- Senior banquet. In all these we received the heartiest co-operation of our instructors. Reviewing our three years' journey we find that some hills were hard to climb, but by just stepping on the gas,' we made the gradeg some ubumpsw gave us severe jolts, but the springs,, of knowledge, provided by the priests and nuns, made them easier to take, although some of the riders,' were knocked out of the car. VVe have just one more year to ride. After that we will drive our own cars. Some of us may have Packards and Pierce-Arrows, others may hard Fords and Chevrolets. No matter what our make of cars, we shall always look back upon our good old S. J. C. A. auto, re- membering that it was the best we ever had, giving us the most comfort, joy and knowledge. JOHN GQFF.
