MEMORIES OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL Saint lVlary's High School has always been for us essentially the place where we could look out on the world. Our memories of what happened inside the High School are bright beside the dim pictures of the things seen outside of its windows. I will always remember the old-fashioned walls of buildings that have stood nigh half a century. I will remember the painted and cracked windows, the splintered and worn floors. I will remember the old winding stairway in the hall of fame. There's never a Senior that will look on the old winding stairway, the painted and cracked windows, the worn floors without a sigh of Oh, how well I remember. VVe have now reached the end and we must leave the tender guidance and protection of our Alma Mater, to make room within her loving arms for those that are younger, those who need her now just as we did four years ago. We must go into the world and take with us everything that Saint lVlary's has given to us. We must fight alone against the evils of that world. We must ever keep with us our education, our religion, our strong molded character, and last but not least, our Memories of Saint lVlary's. The world may take from us all our earthly treasures, but it will never take from us those treasures that we received within the walls of Saint lVlary's High, for they are memories, No fear, no sorrow, Merzsories that will last forever, lllemories of our Old High, llfemories that shall newer Any earthly treasures buy.

Mary drove a ten-cent taxi for the Gordon Company. The tips she received were most liberal ones. Catherine VVagner has become the wife of the President and is busily engaged in the many social functions given in her honor.

Mary Loviner turned out to be a schoolmarm and was stationed at the little schoolhouse in Shadesville. Chuhhie was a mannequin at one of the most exclusive shops on Broadway. Her cleverness usually ends in a clever little sale. Mercedes moved to New York and has recently made her debut as a society debutante among the elite of the city. And last but not least Veronica, the pride of Class '28, has chosen the better part. She is now entering upon the third year of her novitiate and in two more years she will be ready to leave for the leper isle, where she has decided to sacrihce her life for others. I had now seen every one of my classmates as they really are and exhausted was glad at the suggestion of Peter to return to my place among the rest of the Cherubs and join with them in playing on their flutes and harps in rejoicing for their and my own good fortune.
