He was to serve St. Mary little more than a year. He died after a brief heart ailment Octo- ber Z5, 1951. In his short time at St. Mary he supervised the building of the new Church and rectory. He enlarged the school facilities, and made new quarters for the school staff. Father Esterguard left a warm spot in the hearts of all . . . he always seemed to want to do more for us . . . his eyes twinkled with welcome . . . his tireless enthus- iastic spirit . . . his patience . . . his consideration . . . no matter how hurried he was he never for- got to smile . . . his sermons always emphasized Mass and Holy Communion . . . he shared our school experiences with us . . . I like to think he enjoyed being with us as much as we did with him. r ' ' .svi :f'i 'f ,IQI S ii. , yn ff I ,,,,,, .,.s,,,, a ,,,': ., i QQ 'ii S .LSE Aki f , ' Q ' 'cw if 'R 2 . i 'MN X lr 'f Y ff - 1,5 Q. sg F x 5 r e ' W 'f fgftffw?'? if 5 L, x an ,ff miie This table is consecrated and is sanctified, by this anointing and the blessing of God. ln the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Our teachers are the Presentation Sisters, a Congregation founded by Nano Nagle in 1775. The Sisters strive to make us active members of the Mystical Body of Christ, and to develop within us a greater sense of moral responsibility. They are also interested in our co-curricular work. Time is spent in helping students with plays, parties, publications and other activities. We seniors take this opportunity to thank our Directors for their part in helping us to attain our goal as Mary's Stars.

They have worked hard to realize their ambition of SENIORS. Now despite the flood of mater- ' l' that besets their path, and the threat ia ism of war that hovers near, they are anxious to take their part in the drama of life. They believe their program at St. Mary has the power to build leadersg that it is possible for them to become a vital- izing force for good in the community in which they live . Sugar and spice and all things nice. Al' e That's how the students described ic Baumberger when they nominated her for the Catholic Miss' of the month. Alice was featured in the January Catholic Miss. Alice drives ten miles to school and is nearly always on time for Mass. She has been cheerleader, prom queen at- tendant, boys' chorus accompanist, and assistant 4-H leader. Alice is typical of Mary's Stars.
