Alma Stammer is a jolly, fun-loving friend who is always ready to offer assistance when it is needed. She seems to take a great interest in sports especially basketball and football. During high school our studies were many and varied. In the Freshman year we were introduced to many subjects hitherto unknown to us. Among them were Algebra, Civics, General Science, and that much talk- ed of and thoroughly disliked subject, Latin. Since then we found that Latin is a great advantage to us as it is the origin of many everyday English words. We thought the Latin hard but when introduced to Geome- try in our Sophomore year we changed our minds In the Junior year we took up com mercial work Bookkeeping Typing and Shorthand All seemed to like it except when trial balances in Bookkeeping acted stubborn and refused to balance In our Senior year ue struggled with Chemistry a very interest mg but difficult subject Some of the stu dents took American Problems and acquired a knowledge of the problems confronting our country today Our social activities included many suc cessful partles and entertainments Coming back last September we had one thought uppermost in our minds reaching the long sought for goal graduation haxe striven to do everything possible to reach it It has been a busy year with extra 'ictivities as the continuation of the school paper the H1 Lites our play Go Slow Mary our annual year book our trip and other problems but whole hearted coopera tion on the part of all members of the class have made it a success With this synopsis of the class of 39 and an expression of our deep appreciation and gratitude to our teachers for their help and guidance we leave the portals of St Mary and join the ranks of the Alumni It is our ferx ent hope in the future exer to do all m our power to further the interests of our Alma Mater , !
