r Glass Poem One day in September Far and away, A group of young students Wended their w a y Through the doors of St Mary’s As Freshmen we went. Toward being good.students Our thoughts were bent We applied ourselves daily And within the year. We were the pride of our Teachers, everywhere We engaged in games and sports With a will. And distinguished oursolves By our swiftness and skill Swiftly and sadly The year rolled around As Sophomores We tred the ground. Our feats in game and sport And Class Our previous record Did surpass. Still another year sped by. And we found ourselves In our third year Our record here remained The same. And all who knew us Proclaimed our fame And now they ' ve gone. Those swift-passing days. And soon will come The parting of ways With aching hearts And tearful eyes. We bid our final, sad, Goodbyes ” We know wo are entering A world at war And all of us soon Will be called to the fore We leave our school days To begin a life In a world full of sadness. Sorrow, and strife. We know that our childhood Days have passed. And our adulthood has come At last. With hearts full of mom ' ries, W© bid fond adieu To the Priests and Sisters And our Classmates too Frances Flaherty rL Mm 01

The membership of St, Mary’s School would take a drop if it were not for the out-of-town pupils. Not only does St, provide a good, sound Catholic education for the children of this Parish,but also offers this advantage to all the surrounding dis¬ tricts, • i ■ She hearty response to this invitation, ic a tribute to the Catholic Pastors in and around Milford, These zealous workers in the vineyard of the Lord are loyal boosters for St. Mary’s and are always encouraging by word and financial assistance. Among our most ' constant friends is Rev; John P. Donahu , of Sacred Heart Parish,Hopedale• For many years, Fr, Donahue was the Principal of St. Mary’s High School and well did he discharge the duties of his office. No matter what the undertaking, he contri¬ buted his all in behalf of its success.Father Donahue still con¬ tinues to be our most loyal friend. Few words can be said about Rev. Raymond Della Porta, Sacred Heart Parish, Milford, for he has been in his present position a very short time. The many students belonging to his Parish, who go to St. Mary’s have, however, helped to establish the good opinion which we have for him. Father Francis McKoan of St. Mary’s Parish, Uxbridge, is a staunch supporter of Catholic education and consequently, he is a staunch supporter of St. Mary’s. To him wc owe the furtherance of tho kindred spirit which exists between his Parish and ours. For many years. Rev. Henry J. McCormick of Holy Angels Parish, Upton,was more than a friend to St. Mary’s. His , smiling face and ready wit lightened the way for many a despondent boy or girl Although he is sincorely missed, his place has been amply filled by Rev. Francis J. Foley. Rev. Foley has continued the policy of his prodeccssor and from his first day in Upton, he has shown an active interest in the boys and girls of his Parish and in St. Mary’s School.
