ATO AS aaa @ OUR SCHOOL ‘Tis a jolly old school, Yet held strictly to rule, Is the famous High School up at “OQ” We love it so well, Who have been there a spell. You'd love it yourself if you knew How well it is taught An d managed throughout By Father Bennett and his trusty crew. Oh, this jolly old school Where love is the rule, We are sorry to leave it today; Here progress we've made, And formed iriendships so staid We shall cherish the old school always. Theresa Muzzillo

° ° Principals Message At the time the material appearing in this Annual is in the process of preparation the entire world is in a chaotic condition. The flames of war are spreading fast in Europe and only a small portion of that continent enjoys peace. Our own blessed country is much disturbed by the possibility of war with other countries, and with a certain kind of war within its own borders. Industrial strife has shown its head and in many places the prosperity born of a worn-torn world seems to lead men to contention. Proponents on both sides are loud in their protests. Both sides claim grievances with seeming likeliness. The outside observer is hard put to know what should be his judgments. Those dependent on strikers for their livelihood are saddened by the pinch of want when work could be had. The owners of capital are harassed by the in- ability to produce. Good men on both sides must bear the brunt of unfavorable criticism caused by their fellows who are radical. Truly the times are troublesome. Those who leave school this year must enter into life with many misgivings. Wherever they turn there is trouble. They must keep themselves on an even keel. With the knowledge oi right and wrong which they have acquired in their years of religious education they must become leaders of their fellows in the only course that will bring peace. Applying the principles of justice and charity in every day problems they can bring to a sick world the cure of many evils. The forgotten man must return to the forgotten God, and the graduates of a religious school can and must do their share in bringing our nation back to God. Not a small task but not an impossible task. Each graduate clinging to right principles and influencing one or two others who in turn will exert the balancing influence of their neighbors will in a short time bring order out of chaos and establish peace again.

OUR CHURCH The house of our God Has been and will be Our refuge in storm Our light on the sea. That was the place, Where as children we went With our endless little trials, The Holy Sacrament. Through gladness and sadness Through the years of our learning, The God in our church, we've found to be Our refuge in storm, our light on the sea. Theresa Richter
