ajft , clfxss H15-refcf , W e-:sgg5Z7,? ' , In September nineteen-thirty-six, we entered thru the door That made us loyal members of S.H.A. forever more. We were seventy-one youngsters when our task had just begun, Our work is nearly finished new and we still are seventy-one. Hugger Murphy and nminnien Uantoni made the football squad that year They,played in the Angel Guardian game and we gave them cheer on cheer 0 In the Glee Club for the first time, several freshmen were to be found, For there the voices of Mary Lynch, Mary Shaughnessy, Katherine and Eileen Nealon did resound. ' And in the orchestra We had Joe Domsky, Bill Barron, and Joe Krol - With Romasco and Gerry Heroux making up the Freshman roll. The Seniors starred in the play that year, if we must stick to facts, ' But 'twas Rita Moroney, Class of '40 who danced between the acts Even as a freshman, Joe Krol was a basketball standout While Phillips, Sullivan, Will Norton and Lally didn't exactly do a blackout. ' In the baseball season likewise, future stars made their debut, Phillips, Hantoni, Krol, Pyne, and Halacy were among the chosen f0Wo In our first dramatic endeavor we really made our mark For it was nThe Pampered Darlingn that struck the little spark Of dramatic genius glowing in some freshman hearts alight. We almost outdid the Seniors in the one-act play contest that night. We showed ourselves that time to be actresses and actors And in the play's immense success the following were factors- Ruby Barrows, Joe Krol, Tom y Seaver, Bill Barron, Joe Domsky, Mary Shaughnessy, ' ' June Roulcau, Margaret'Arsenault, Olivine Leheney, John Fceley, and last but not least, Helen Clancy. Our first year was a.great one, all too soon it was all thru And we knew what the Latins talked about when they said that ntempusn flew.

CLASS EVOEM The gladsome days are quickly fading, When no more of us you'll see, And the light of life is dimly shading, Soon we'll be a precious memory. Our High School days have oft been called The happiest days of our lives, The time when We are unconcerned, With outer toil and strife. Our joyous days of life were spent, Seeking knowledge within your Walls, And We'll thrive on the advice you lent, When our vocation calls. It was only four short years ago, When we as freshmen entered With hopes real high and hearts aglow, On us all eyes were centered. But now these years have taken flight, How swiftly they have passed, T They've gone along on wings of night, From the first right to the last. In parting your advice We'll heed, When life's lonely path we trod, We pray that we may all succeed, And place our trust in God. It is thus, but with a deep regret We take our leave of you,' Amid a tear, a frown, a fret, To you St. Mary's we bid adieu. -John Norton

September rolled around again, back as Sophomeres we came A To bring to old '40 and S.M.A. the highest we could in fame. Besides Murphy and Mantoni on the'feotball squad that fall Were Fitzgerald, Gallerani, Byron, Creighton and Fullum, Sopho- mores one and all. And we showed that we were ready now to appear in Varsity plays When Bill Barron, Mary Shaughnessy and Joe Krol took part in nIt's Papa Who Pays.n' The inimitable Barron, Domsky and Krol were the hit at the Xmas show And at every entertainment the chief attraction was Gerry Heroux. The list of the basketball squad that year sounded almost like a class roll ' ' ' i ' ' There were Norton, Crowley, Hayes, Fitzgerald, Malia, Sullivan, Lally, Phillips and Krol. ' ' And we crashed a new activity, one that really rates, Bill Barron, Joe Domsky and Paul Lally were in Diocesan debates. ' In the Spring we blossomed out again with one-act plays of course, Margaret Arsenault, Thomas Seaver, Rita Horonev, Marie McGowan, John Feekay, and Virginia McDonough presented hThe Teeth of the Gift Horse! ' ' a ' ' And John Malia, Ruby Barrows, Mary Shaughnessy, Ray Bagley, Joe Domsky, and Kay Nealen ' Executed nLuncheon for Sixu with sympathy and feelin'. The Thomas Aquinas Circle came into being that spring And of course an honor circle was just another thing For us to show our prowess at, For at'that first June banquet sat: ' ' Barron, Crowley, Fredette,'Lally, Moynihan, Domsky, Feeley, Malia, J. Norton, and Pyne, ' g Margaret Altieri, Ruby Barrows, Olivine Leheney, Catherine Culli- nan, Eileen Nealon, and also in line ' ' Were Katherine Nealon, Mary Shaughnessy, Margaret Arsenault, lhrguerite Censoletti, Virginia McDonough, Marie O'Donnell and Rita Moroney ' Each with the hard-earned 85 and not one of them a phoney. ' On the'baseball squad were Phillips, hantoni, Flanigan, Pyne, Halacy, and Krol ' Quite a goodly representation, so we felt that on the whole Our Sophomore year had something in'common with this verse 'Tho it could have been some better, it also could have been worse. 'Twas in Junior year however that we really went to town, We began at the beginning and did everything up brown. In the school play titled Uwedding Spellsu we furnished half the 4 - . . Namely Lally, Domsky, Feeley, Marie O'Donnell, Mary Shaughnessy and Barron the last Having the lead of course, with the others supporting him at their best Making the audience roll in the aisles with many a joke and jest. Our football players proved to be the back-bone of the team Of Mantoni, Krol, Norton, Creighton, Knight, Bagley and Clouart we could write roam on roam. ' Basketball maintained the same crowd from the year before Besides a newcomer Forrest Noe. :Mews quite monopolized the floor-
