HIGH SCHOOL FOURTH CLASSICAL History Way, way hack in 1919, the College special wheezed up to the gate and discharged, among others, a bewildered group which was to form the Class of ’23. And now, within a short time, many of us will take a last lingering look at our beloved Alma Mater, before departing on that same Special. In the main, the class which began in September, 1919, still remains, and, although some few have left us during our four years, their places have been filled by eagerly welcomed “new boys.” Some of us will return to enter the College Department next year, some will continue their studies at other schools and some, perhaps, will enter into the game of life, but the Class of ’23 will remain forever fixed upon the minds of all. During our first three years, we were split into two separate classes, between which existed a friendly rivalry not only in studies, but in athletics and all other affairs in our school life. This served to give us a high standard in all that we attempted. This year the two classes were brought together under Fr. Kuenzel, S. J. We applied ourselves so diligently to Virgil and poetry, that many received honors. Ignatius Floersch merited class-honors at the half after a close race with several others. He also carried away the Elocution Medal for the second time. The class officers were: Joseph Howard, President; Thomas Wade, Vice-President; John Smith, Treasurer. In this our last year we have always been well represented in all school activities, and it is with great sorrow that we close the annals of our High School days and enter upon the sterner battles of life. FOURTH ENGLISH—SCIENTIFIC—COMMERCIAL As the day of our high school career has reached a golden and glorious end, we gaze with no little satisfaction over the vista of those four happy years. The ship of our class was launched in 1919. Under the able guidance of Mr. J. L. Scott, S. J-, we were taught the fundamental principles upon which our future education was to be reared. The following year Coach O'Rourke stood at the helm and his efforts made us the envied class of the school. Our class showed a great burst of speed, and, although we encountered much hard work, his good humor nevertheless brightened the more serious side of life. On the third log of our journey we were very ably piloted by Mr. McGalloway, S. J. It was during this year that God called our beloved classmate, Joseph Murphy, and chose him from amongst us to join the ranks of those whose worldly strife is over. The fourth and final year arrived at last. Fr. A. Kuenzel, S. J., and Mr. J. V. Jacobsen. S. J., labored incessantly to apply those added touches that were necessary to complete our high school education. We realize that we owe to these and all our teachers a great debt of gratitude which they have merited by their sacrifices in our behalf. Consult the records of “College Activities” and you will discover that the English Scientific and Commercial class of ’23 has always been well represented in all scholastic endeavors. We conclude with the prayer that the blessings with which Heaven has favored our teachers as well as ourselves in the past, may abide with us during the remainder of our lives.
