Strains of music came from St. Cecelia's Hall, and drums were beating under Mr. Hawkins' direction. Twirlers were in the gymnasium with Faye Gallimore, the 1941 Drum Major. Glee Clubs and Bugle and Drum Corps were stepping into rank. Another pillar of 1941 history was mounting high-dramatics. The Chrirtmar Cantata combined the musical and dra- matic ability of the Seniors in a very re- ligious and practical way. December also witnessed the Boys' Oratorical Contest on The Church and Peace with John Donovan and James Madden as winners. At the girls' Prize Debate, Yvonne McGarry and Faye Gallimore were the winning contestants. What was the event of January 19 and 20? The Senior musical productions-The Count and the Co-ed and The Bells of Beau- jolais featuring Margaret Barrett, Betty Cassidy, Dorothy Duston, Margaret Mc- Gourty, Yvonne McGarry, Rena Horan, John Stuart, James Madden and Patrick Kelly. Histrionic ability also appeared in the Senior one-act play The Tantrumr starring Betty Cassidy and Gerard Dono- van. The two sturdy Senior stars who helped to build our athletic history were the grid- iron heroes who made All-Catholic- James Burns and John Curry. Yvonne McGarry, captain of the Diocesan Cham- pionship Girls' Basketball Team was also named All-Catholic. After the spring vacation we bent our efforts to make history by the Senior Prom. James Madden, Prom Marshal, assisted by an able executive committee made the affair a cultural and social suc- cess. An assembly in May brought the ofhcial announcement by our Monsignor, that Faye Gallimore was Valedictorian and Patrick Kelly, Salutatorian. Firmly estab- lished now was the pillar of debating, for the boys had won the diocesan champion- ship the previous day. Monsignor and Father McCarthy gave very impressive talks to the students at this assembly. We anticipated our graduation by re- ceiving degrees at the Junior Zeppelin Informal. Rehearsals were also in order for the Musical Concert, May 25. Mildred D'Argcnio and John Stuart directed the Glee Clubs. john Donovan, John Stuart and Dorothy Duston were soloists, Mil- dred Coakley played with her sister Barbara, the Southern Six played melodies and the beautiful tableaux included Mil- dred D'Argenio, Rena Horan, Brendan Coffey and John Stuart. Violinists in The Dream of the Shepherdetr were Faye Galli- more and Virginia White. Under the beautiful sky of that same day we marched in honor of Our Blessed Lady to her Crowning Ceremony. Mildred Leader was May Queen and Margaret McGourty her attendant. The pillars of 1941 history had been erected high. Inscribed aloft upon the pillars of religion was Goodnert, Dircipline and Knowledge. Commencement Week would bring Class Day, the Senior Ban- quet, Recollection Day, Communion Breakfast, Graduation, and as Alumni for a day, the Senior Picnic at Salisbury and Ye Cock and Kettle Inn. The pillars of the 1941 history remain, monuments of love and devotion to St. Mary's. MARGARET MCGOURTY 1941 QSUYHPTP

Betty Cassidy and Yvonne were the new members of the Girls' Debating Team while Faye Gallimore and I returned once more to delve deeply into the pro's and con's of the Patman Bill. The early weeks of school brought a new series of conferences from Rev. Wil- liam J. McCarthy entitled The Armor of Light. Closely correlated to this was the series of lectures on the second part of the inscription on the school seal, Knowledge. Early in November, orations were as- signed for the boys' annual symposium with The Eurbf Christian Church as its gen- eral subject. Two Juniors received the honors: james Moloney, the Cardinal O'Connell Medal, and Brendan Coffey, the second award. The juniors were well represented at the Bazaar, the Junior girls sang in the Christmas Cantata, not a few attended the YEARBOOK Party in January as Well as the Senior play Lucky Winner. In the American Legion District Ora- torical contest, Vincent Quealy was given highest rank among nine representatives from other schools. We are very proud of these students for the honor which they have brought to St. Mary's. Now, just what were those tunes which our classmates hummed in the presence of the other members of the school? Such a simple solution! They were the songs which were to be heard in the Junior Pro- duction, Mir: Blue Eyes. Rehearsal, re- hearsal, rehearsal! The sound of that word is still ringing in my ears! But here it is the night of our production, and here come our star performers ready to give their all to their audience. James Madden, Betty Cassidy, John Donovan, Margaret Barrett, Faye Gallimore, Helen Melville, Patrick Kelly, Mary Mahoney, Gerard Donovan, Jean Good, Brendan Coffey, Pauline Sulli- van Joseph Curry and Margaret McGourty made up our splendid cast. All good things must come to an end however, and the formance of Mus Blue Eyes. 4 curtain fell unwillingly on the last per- 78 It is another Monday night and out seniors are enjoying themselves amidst all the gaiety and splendor of the banquet given to them by the Juniors. Farewell speeches and tear-filled eyes serve to re- mind us that there is but one short year left for us as students of St. Mary's. SENIOR YEAR The pillars of the 1941 history have been rising slowly. Upon three pillars will be entwined the laurel wreath to symbolize our three diocesan championships in spell- ing, debating and girls' basketball. We re-enforced the foundation of the seven pillars when we returned as Seniors to our Religion lectures on Dircipline and our Children of Mary conferences, entitled The Knightr of God. The Art Club was organized early in autumn and the exhibition of material at the Catholic Youth Congress included oil paintings, pastoral scenes, etchings and drawings as well as hand-painted vases. The boys' and girls' divisions of the Assumpta Society began their work in October with the characteristic zeal and interest of champion debaters and orators. Soon we were arranging the YEARBOOK pictures of the Little Flower Pageant in which Helen Melville, Patricia McCor- mack and Margaret Carmody had the principal roles. That same afternoon the Ynannooxc photographer assembled Cap- tain Joseph Curry and his football heroes for a pose picture outside the Harvard Street door. As Coach Moynihan left for Griggs field with his charges, Coach jor- dan appeared with the girls' basketball teams and they, too, had a group picture. Captain Kelley of Saint Patrick's, Rox- bury, arrived with her team and a lively which gave the outdoor game ensued photographer many an opportunity for a candid shot. This was the first week in October-the extracurricular activities were now in progress.
