We hope they will think of us ONCE IN A WHILE. Margaret Mary McKnight wills her love of walking to Alfred Stevens. Could that be her reason for singing, I DON'T WANT TO WALK WITHOUT YOU ? Bemice Dreyer wills to Andrew Kimmit her ready smile and look that seems to say, SMILE AWHILE AND GIVE YOUR FACE A REST. Susan Konecny gives Mary lane MacGowan her way of getting the most out of life, and her motto, LADY BE GOOD, goes with it.

SENIDIQ CLASS I-IISTDIQY We, an army of twenty-four strong, capable soldiers, marched onto the battlefield of St. Mary's High School. ready to conquer the hardships of the four years' campaign before us. As our motto we chose ln Hoc Signo Vinces, meaning ln This Sign You Shall Conquer. During the next four years we were to tum more and more to the Sign of the Cross for aid. Our slogan was A. F. L., or Armed for Life g Mary, Queen of Peace, was elected to guide us where e'er we may go. Labor was put on a five-day-a-week basis, and production was raised to maximum speed. Our generals, the teachers, kept just enough homework rolling to supply an army like ours. During the iirst year of the battle everything went along smoothly. Being unacquainted with this new kind of game, that of trying to get used to the idea of being Freshmen, we ad- vanced rather slowly, but by the time school reopened in September after our summer vacation. we were quite the class. It was at this supposedly green stage that Gibbons, the athletic hero of this might group, began to shine and by the end of the duration he was destined to be chosen Captain of both the Football and the Basketball teams. Iust as we were making great progress, we met the forces of that large body of Freshmen, the class of '43. They outnumbered us two to one. but we held our own and got along won- derfully well during that year. Of course, there were such obstacles as Geometry and Latin ll to hinder our advance, but by the end of the school term that year, we were quite proud of our- selves. Margaret Mary McKnight was winner of third place for the school in an essay contest sponsored by the Banker's Association of Montana. Our Sophomore year went on rather quietly, but the next year with 1941 appearing we launched our spring offensive. It was, of course, our Iunior Prom, which was one great affair. After the Prom, we could be seen at any time dreaming of the next year to come. At last the great day camel What a glorious feeling to be able to command respect from the under classmen, to enjoy the peaceful bliss of Senior privileges, and to live with the thought that ln just a few months we will be graduatedl We made one last advance in the winter of '42. This was our Senior Ball, the first of its kind in St. Mary's. We worked very hard on this move, and at last we put it over amid a host of compliments. The most important thing left to look forward to is Commencement, and deep down in the heart of every member of this class is a feeling of sincere sadness at the thought of leaving St. Mary's. Now for a short resume of the personnel of the armyz. At the beginning of the last year of our Campaign, Lorraine Dokka was elected Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forcesy Margaret Mary McKnight was named Brigadier General, Second in Command: Corinne Ware became Sec- retary of War: and Iames Moran held the position of Secretary of the Treasury. Gibbons and Moran, playing their last games in both football and basketball for St. Mary's. gave all they had and played outstanding games. George Ktmmet and Thomas Culliton left at the end of the first semester to join the United States army and navy, respectively. Donald Horan has been accepted in the Navy but has returnd to school to receive that long-awaited diploma. The other members of this spectacular army were invaluable. We could never have been vic- torious without their generous assistance. In closing this brief interview, we would like to attempt to express our heartfelt appreciation to the Faculty for their unceasing efforts to make us what we are today, and what we will be tomorrow. We only hope and pray that we may live up to their expectations. E91
