But since we have braved three years-we can surely endure another one. Just how we are to succeed rests with each individual member of the class. We must weigh well the responsibility of being a Senior-a good one-and the dishonor of being a poor one. So let us be the right kind or none at all. As a class we have never been speeders -yet we have gotten there just the same. In spite of the fact that we have received a few bumps in the getting We do not excel in anything in particular yet we are an average class. After all perhaps we are better so-just common ordinary students, possessors of an abundance of good points, and a few bad ones like the men and women who by just being natural are making this world a better place to be in. We are satisfied. Perhaps we cannot boast of our high marks as other classes have done. But what does that matter? Are not those who boast most of their talents as generously rewarded by God as those who have to earn all they get by the sweat of their brow? God frequently selects the common class of people in preference to the talented or the rich, to carry on His work on this earth. Lincoln remarked, God must love the common people because He made so many of them. It takes all sorts of people to make up the world and we feel confident that we are contributing our share, by not being braggarts, ever boastful-but by the unassuming spirit that has so far carried us tran- quilly along while others were having rather a hard time of it. But even our modesty does not prevent us from saying that we have the best class in St. Marys when it comes to character. We aim to be just what we are. May it never be said of us that we are below the par of what we pretend to be. To thy own self be true is our motto. Station J-U-N-I-O-R-S. -Charles Scherr, '27. Clin The Junior The Junior's tread is Hrm In the ever onward race, She's filled with expectation As she nears the higher place. To be so near that threshold Thrills her through and through, Oh Senior, how we long for the day When we'll be just like you. -Mary Morris, '2S. 30

1926 The Marathon Back row: Gilbert Cullen, Cliiiord Ritter, Regis Rounds, Charles Scherr, Karl Schott. Middle row: Lucille Boyle, Kathleen Hanley, Henrietta Wiesend, Genevieve Augenstein. Front row: Julia Miller, Mary Josephine Thoma, Mildred Walter, Catherine Rice. GILBERT CULLEN Always smiling and never stern, Studious, as you can see, For never does he fail to learn That terrible history. CLIFFORD RITTER Clifford delights in those daily strolls He takes to the paper basket, They keep him thin and his body in trim No need for him to diet. REGIS ROUNDS Regis, our clever acrobat, Amuses us throughout the day, And causes us to misbehave And then at three to stay. CHARLES SCHERR Here's the boy who has little to say And is so good the live long day That he studies his lessons and knows them toog Success for Charlie is nothing new. KARL SCHOTT 0 what can be sweeter than freedom, Says our studious Karl, at three, When one studies hard the whole day long And prepares his task like me. LUCILE BOYLE Lucille, our pal for three years past, Is now missing from our class, Although she has gone to the far West She'll be long remembered, nevertheless. KATHLEEN HANLEY Kathleen, our scholarly lass, With dainty hats and scarfs ' And shoes that fit just to a UT , She's the treasure of our class. HENRIETTA WIESEND This quiet, gentle, little girl Must take the prize for conduct, Her lessons too are all well learned, Some day others she'll instruct.
