Everyone was a good sport and took it on the chin without the slightest whimper. Although some had their shirts ruined and some had to drink castor oil, not one let out a murmur. Then came the day when they showed their talent. They created the famous lemonade stand, which was a big success. This was not enough to satisfy them. At the next candy sale they sponsored a more famous stand, “The Hot Dog Stand.” This was a greater success. They have worked hard in their first year of high school life and hope to do better in the next three years. The president of the class is Joe New- bauer, and the vice president is Maurice Shafer.—’39. Page 7 ee

We all enjoyed our first year of high school. In September, 1935, three boys and five girls came into the classroom as Sophomores. This year proved to be the most successful year that our class has ever had. The Sophomores as a whole have a generous amount of dramatic ability. We were complimented very much on the original tabelau we had for the Christmas program. Billy Beber and Dolores McGuire took prominent parts in the play, “Marrying Off Father,” given for Rev. Father Bennett’s feast day. Billy Beber and Ellen Zecca are taking difficult parts in the Senior Class play, “Spooky Tavern.” Josephine Hoeffel took a part in the Christmas play, “The Six That Kept Christmas.” The Sophies chose as their class president, Dolores McGuire, and as vice president Margaret Muzzillo.—’38.

SALUTATORY Dear friends, as salutatorian of this class of 1936 it is my task to greet you and bid you welcome. I am deeply conscious of the fact that the majority of you have heard words of wel- come from more capable salutatorians than I. My fears in not doing justice to my class in greeting you are somewhat allayed when I think of the words of the great English dra- matist, William Shakespeare, “All’s well that ends well.” I assure you that if you will bear with my inadequate but willing words you will be convinced of the truth of Shakespeare’s statement when you hear the valedictorian of the class of 1936. Tonight we have reached the end of four years of study, and we can truthfully say we do know much which otherwise we would not know. If we remember but half of it, we shall do nobly, indeed. There is truly a won- derful recompense for study in the feeling of satisfaction for work well done, and we, to- night, are enjoying a great deal of that sat- isfaction. Although this may be the end of study, as such, for most of us, it is by no means the end of learning. We know that the years to come and the great school of experience will add much to our store of knowledge. We feel, how- ever, that our safe arrival this far along on the highway of learning is worthy of celebration, and we are grateful to you for coming to share our pleasure. Because of your friendly interest in us, many of whom you have known since our en- trance in school, we feel confident that this evening will leave only pleasant memories. Speaking in behalf of my classmates, I bid you welcome. May you be as glad as we are that you came. % VALEDICTORY We as a high school class, have reached in our course of study what comes to all through patient perseverance—the end. This, however, brings us face to face with the future. With 20.5 10 °PoHn eS ANNUAL the passing of months this problem has grown nearer and bigger. We have been conscious of its shadow at our side even while we went about our every day affairs. We have realized that there were decisions to be made, important decisions that would have their influence on all the rest of our life. For us there is a change that must be made from the preparatory phase of life to the actual, and each one of us has been thinking and thinking. What is best for us? In which course lies happiness, success and well being? But whatever our final decision may be, of one thing we are sure; the days we are leaving behind us are some of the happiest we shall ever know. The long hours we have spent with sympathetic teachers and close friends have yielded a store of memories that will never be forgotten as long as we live. In all our future existence we shall reflect the lessons we learn- ed here, we shall strive to uphold by our most dignified conduct what is implied in our motto, “Build for Character, not for Fame.” And now it is time to say farewell. As class valedictorian it is my exclusive and honorable duty to bring the commencement program to a close. With hearts full of gratitude to our pastor, teachers and friends, we now accept the status of full fledged graduates and step out into the world with a new sense of growth and responsibility. As an audience you de- serve the deepest thanks for your appreciative and attentive attitude. As an audience of friends and parents you are entitled to not only our thanks but our affection and respect. Since we are soon to set forth on new ways, there must be a parting from old. Goodby to the years of our childhood. Farewell to the school we have known so long. And au revoir to teachers and schoolmates left behind. We cannot express our feelings; they are too deep. You must read between the lines to get the full significance of the depth of our emotions. But since you know us so well, every one of you knows the fullest meaning of my final, con- cluding word, “Farewell.” i A
