The first maior event of the year was the election of class officers. Norman Whitfield was our president: Phyllis O'Neill, vice-presidentp Iohn Welsh, secretary, The next event was the initiation. The sophomores summoned us to the chemistry lab where we were served with ice cream and cake. Not a bad initiation for the girls. The boys were not so fortunate. The three upper classmen took turns workin' on 'em and they received many spankings and what not. A Religion club was organized under the sponsorship of our class sponsor, Sister Marie Celine. We met weekly to discuss Catholic cur- rent events. We gave a very delightful party and Christmas play that year. We still hear reverberations of the glorious time we had, for our sponsor says the experience was new and unforgettable. A few fresh- men entered a State contest in algebra held in Muncie. We were also well represented in the school Oration contest, a freshman receiving first place. Four of our boys were prominent in basket ball, and three of them are now GAEL stars. In the school toumament our maroon and white came flyin' high - the freshies won second place. We also or- iginated the idea of having a mascot. Then came sophomore year, and the moving out of desks to give place to chairs. The change was made imperative because the inven- tive boys found that the squeaks of the old desks made good jazz tunes when manipulated skillfully. Class elections resulted in Iohn Welsh. pres.dent: Phyllis O'Neill, vice-president: Rue Walker, secretary: Francis Hatchford, treasurer. We had a Christmas party and a weiner roast as part of our social program. We won the coveted title of school champs. in basketball. The girls came in third in the girls' athletic con- tests. A Latin club, Order of the Golden Fleece, was organized under the auspices of our Latin teacher, Sister Diomira. We are now Juniors by dint of hard work, study and effort. After the hustle and bustle of getting our tools lined up to begin another year's work, we again elected officers. Iohn Welsh was our choice for the second time to lead our classy Mary Ellen Zerklebach, vice-presi- dent: Rue Walker, secretary, and William Hopkins, treasurer. The junior activities at St. Mary's are always concentrated on one objective-gathering shekels for the junior-senior prom or banquet. Up to date we have had four skating parties from which we accrued sub- stantial returns, thanks to the fine attendance of the student body. Cur Thanksgiving turkey raffle brought us a tidy sum: the turkey, by the way, was won by a gsister of one of our junior girls. We honored, according to custom, the seniors at a Christmas tree party and exchange of gifts. The proverbial good time was had by all. This spring the class attended a session of the State Legislature at ln- dianapolis. We were introduced to the rlouse by Representative Black, and to the Senate by Senator Vermillion. Through their courtesy we were given admission tickets to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument. Sisters Marie Celine and Diomira accompanied us on the trip. A French club, Le Cercle Francois, was organized to improve our conversational powers, to enrich our knowledge of things French, Constance Steimel, '88 Q 1 E ' w ill f A A' I ' . lV-h:Q X marty r 2. -3 t - V :if . gl X ll jf 43 'T 1 'L , if .

The first major event of the year was the election of officers. As president we chose Raymond Sokolg vice-president, Betty Haynes, sec- retary, Florence McMahon, treasurer, Charles Libler. Selecting and pur- chasing class sweaters-the initiation into the caste of upper classmen -took considerable time. Before Thanksgiving, however, the sopho- mores were displaying black sweaters with White numerals. Social activities were not begun until the first week in November. Betty Haynes was then hostess at a party at her home. Mrs. Bender and Mrs. Haynes chaperoned the affair, which was unanimouslyvoted a success. A Christmas ,gift .exchange and a number of amusing contests and the reading of the class journal, edited by Clarence Dunn, constituted the final program of the year 1936. l Many sophomores attended the Catholic State Tournament at Ft. Wayne and rooted to the leadership of the soph. cheer leaders, Betty and Florence. Three classmates, Roberta Bender, Esther Burggraf, and Clarice Dunn, had the honor of playing in the Hundred and Twenty-Five Piano Festival held at Butler Field, Indianapolis, on May 2. As Iune Week draws near, sophomores cast envious eyes at lun- iors and seniors, and wait rather impatiently the time when they will act as hosts at the junior-senior prom. It won't be long now! F. M.

St. Mary's drew' a bye and so their first game was played on Saturday afternoon against St. Ioseph's of Collegeville. The Gaels won by a score of 41 to 20 and advanced to the semi-finals on Sunday. Huntington was our opponent and St. Mary's won after a hard game 24 to 19. This victory placed us in the final game against Reitz Memorial of Evansville, whom St. Mary's beat last year 38 to 30 for the state title. The game was exciting from start to finish and when the final gun fired, St. Mary's had won, 38 to 29, and were crowned State Catholic Champions for the second con- secutive year. ST.

We were defeated in the final game by Benedictine, of Richmond, Virginia, 42 to 30. For the l936-1937 season the Gaels won twenty-two games and lost eight, including the tournament games.

It was our first since graduation in l937g nearly everyone was there and eager to make the event an historic one. l'll skip the banquet and other social functions of the meeting and TGIUY the Surprises that were in store for us when we heard how each mem- ber of the class had fared in life. Henrietta is now Toby's official manager. as we had expected as far back as 1937. Her chum, Lucille, finally acceded to Mart's wishes-her name is now preceded bY Mrs. . Florence has practically become an institution at Boze's. She scrys the Only draw- back to her general satisfaction with life is that Boze interferes with beaus. Poor Florence. Dorothy is employed at Carson, Pierie, Scott, ot Chicago. Since she is a model, her weight is a great asset. Worth Brinker has been appointed athletic director at Purdue. He replaced Piggy Lambert, who made Bob Kessler famous. His former teamrncte, Bud Wulle, is still walking out oi places-it's employers' offices though, not a Princ:ipal's office. Johnnie Mechenbelieve it or not, is still at school at the Alma Mater. Sister Verona can't yet make twenty-nine equal thirty-two credits. His partner in crime, Spoo, has displaced Fred Astaire in the field of esthetic dancing, but he can't find a partner whO can keep up with him. He is not the only one who has gone to Hollywood. Iohnny Lamper is really another Darryl Zanuck. Johnny produced The Rebel Front . Perhaps you have seen it.

Wanamakers can boast of Marcheline as head buyer of the ready-to-wear department. Curline Hair Lotion is lohn Ford's offer to the commercial world.

His pleasing personality makes him the most valuable salesman on the whole force. Kenny owns a vast chain of filling stations. Ipana Tooth Paste has secured the services of Tommy as a Smile model.

Anderson's opportunities were too sparse for him, so he fO1'S0Ok them for greener fields. Mary and Mildred are still close friends. They are now making a concert tour of the United States with the Artists' Guild of America. We all regretted their Obs sence from the reunion. Mary Aline is ncw of intemational fame.

At the September meeting, Mary Katherine Davied, retiring president of the Sodal- ity, presided and installed the new officers. It was decided at this meeting to in- crease the number of subscriptions to the Oueen's Work, the Sodality organ, to twenty- five copies. Other magazines subscribed to were the Catholic World, the Catholic BOY, America, the Catholic Readers' Digest, the Messenger of the Sacred Heart, and the Young Catholic Messenger. Prayer for the Holy Souls was the aim for November. Banks were placed in. the classrooms and offerings for Masses were made for the Holy Souls. A project to stim- ulate interest in the lives of the saints was made a part of the daily program of the religion classes and ended the last week of November 'ln a contest. Virginia Herring and Iol-in Kiely, freshmen, won. They were each given a year's subscription to the Queens Work. A business meeting was held in December to discuss plans for raising funds for a Sodality donation for the Christ the King statue to be erected in Washington, D. C. On the Friday before Christmas the Sodalists presented a Play and awarded prizes for per- fect attendance on Sodality Sunday. The pledge to the Legion of Decency was re- newed. The contributions in food and toys rGQ11ired as an entrance fee at this meet- ing were sufficient to fill ten baskets. In Ianuary plans for the second semester were formulated. Ianuary and February were devoted to an intensive study of Communism. The Sodality .purchased a hundred pamphlets on the subject from the Paulist Press to prepare the sodalists for a rapid-fire contest cn this .present day menace. The freshmen presented a skit composed by Wil- liam Sefton on that theme. Father Crowley. O. M. startled the students into the reali- zation that Communism is upon us by his factual exposition of its deadly grip upon Our nation. Special attention was given to character building through the use of the Daily Six during Lent. Patricia Donovan directed the activity by placing a character tower POSW1' in each room and by checking up weekly on the progress made weekly by the sodalists. Stress was placed particularly on prompt attendance at daily Mass and frequent re- ception of Holy Communion and the response was gratifying to the officers. The chief feature of the Vocation meeting was the playlet COmP0S9d Und di' rected by Doris Renner. During the last week of April the Sodalists nominated their officers forthe cominq year..The year's activities culminated in several May projects, the last of which WGS the impressive May procession and the coronation of Our Lady by lanie Funk.
