X R 'K ,' ev QP , a e i march The month was ushered in by a dance--a general dance. All the students of the high school attended. The Class Numbers were really things of beauty, and we hope they will live up to that name, by being a joy forever. It was a real illustra- tion of Dance and be merry for tomorrow is--- . x1 Ash Wednesday! Well, it's about time we settled down to look after our spiritual well-being, and some of us have truly settled heavily. And then the Annual Retreat! Famer Sawkins of Toledo conducted it, and we were sure, at its close, that the former Principal of Toledo Catholic High, knows boys and girls. 5 March twelfth, thelannual breakfast, with Father Hynes again in the capacity of host. One of the really pleasant memories of our senior year. And the speakers! Mr. Cassady and Miss Bauman, laurels for you! lsn't it laurels they use to crown people, who indulge in flights of poetic fancy? XG Do you see serious looking students accosting others of the same mien in the cor- ridors? They are public spirited citizens, trying to raise funds to erect a monument. No, it's not a ref'lex from our study of the Bunker Hill Oration. lt's to commem- orate the Doer of Deeds, who secured for us, that blessed boon on March four- teenth. 1 I 1 W l We understand that the disposition of the faculty, was somewhat uncertain about the middle of March. Can anyone tell us why? A Everybody studying deligently. More night work-yet less night work, can you figure it out? Qspril Month of showers, will you bring us sunshine? Your predecessor left us pud- dles, puddles, and yet more puddles, even in this community of wide streets and good roads, we have to do some high, wide, and fancy jumping, to miss the little ones. We just wade through the miniature lakes. A llflore about rain. We are going to have an indoor baseball team this year, as the regular team thinks of training for stroke. They might use that accomplish- ment next year. ? The Passion Play was the big event of April. Mr. Nordloh literally covered himself with glory. Q . April the eighteenth brought one of the biggest events of the year, the Basketball banquet, in the nature of Father and Sons Dinneri' was held at the Alms Hotel. 5 The Easter vacation brought about a long awaited interruption in the routine of the second semester. Oh, that it were longer, it might satiate our Freshmen's de- sire to be idle. LN At last the weather grew balmy and warm, and the call of baseball was heard and answered by some thirty or forty boys. Captain Rielage proved to be a true leader. His men responded to his example, and engaged in practice with a really encouraging interest. + In the first encounter with Mt. Healthy High, St. Mary's emerged victorious, score 9-5. 2' y- -J'-i - tx - Q 9 m y '1 Page One Hundred Twenty

up 1 N7 K ,Q . 1' v - K ' if , L Q jlzxnuarg Happy New Year! Everybody! 'Twas a rude awakening after the joys of the Christmas holidays, to return to school and read that item in the January Bulletin, Mid-year Examinations, January 21-28. From now on let every Senior's slogan be Cram! Cram! Cram! No, freshies, those students you saw figuring so intently with a pencil and pad, as they walked through the hall, were not becoming studious, they were merely trying to produce a few more credits. A jubilant January! Our boys turned the tables. Three encounters brought two victories. The stellar defensive work of Jerry Hugger, and the goal shooting of Devaney were the prime factors in our winning these games. xi Another red letter day! The first issue of the Trail , found an incredulous student body, which however changed its collective mind. 5 Extra! The armistice is signed! After a three weeks' debate between faculty, alumni, and seniors, over the adoption of a new ring, we compromised. The design now used will be changed somewhat-modified, as it were . Allen, you're a brave boy. gliehruarg Frolics of February! The annual Mission Bazaar , with its hurry and bustle, its long feverish preparation, its many booths with gay bunting, made of our as- sembly hall, a northern Mardi Gras. This occasion, always looked forward to with so much eagerness, was greeted upon its arrival by an enthusiastic student body. The cooperation of faculty and graduates, made this bazaar the most successful ever held at St. Mary's. N6 The Class of '27 thanks the undergraduates for their assistance, and incidentally their attendance, for after all, it was they who made the bazaar a success. + We're truly glad that Washington and Lincoln were such great men. Two holidays. CI beg your pardon. The twelfth fell on Saturdayj. ' e ,N Memories of Edwin Booth! The shadow of the old master again trod the boards, as the Masque Club presented, Frolic Nonsenciou. The greatest London success cannot compare with this stupendous production. The members of our Buskin Society , acquitted themselves nobly. The efforts of the Walsh Ballet and of Ma Rielage were note-worthy. LN The spirit of Thalia is in the air. The second year presented Everystudent in a manner that reflects credit on them, and on their director. 61 - , T0 7 Q3 6 X 5 Page One Hundred Nineteen

A -K. ,jf 1, EYLEKY - -Z- .r n C JHHHQ 9 lllysteries of May! The Senior girls escorted the Freshman girls to the Cir- cusf' The little tots were all aglow with excitement, waiting for the Circus to start. However, with the appearance of the elephant, the lion, and other carnivorous creatures, they were frightened to death. Didnlt you like the snake charmer? Ask Kate, she knows. Q Shades of Chesterfield! The Beau Brummels of the Class turned out in force to attend the Junior Reception. This proved to be a big affair. Such ceremony, such frocks, such music, such dancing, and--such a banquet. After the music, the dancing, and the ceremony, I hate to mention anything that savors of such a common- place thing as dining, but that dinner had to be mentioned. - Lx The Senior Class motored to Columbia Power Plant at Cleves. The trip proved to be both interesting and educational. Congratulations Abe, how did you do it? + Everything should have a good conclusion, lVIay had its-a Theatre Party at Schuberts-we were guests of the Parent-Teacher's Association. We surely en- joyed this event. 3111112 N The last month, crowned with events in our honor, and filled to overflowing with activities, social, academic and fnancialj busy seniors--the memory of these days will be long with usg the Junior dinner-dance-the solemn services of June 12- The Graduation Breakfast of June 16-the arrival of the yearbooks- the last assembly -these are but a few of the big events of June. Q The end is in sight, We are not anxious to go. The work-a-day world, in which we shall find ourselves a year from now, whether it be business or college, will be a bigger and a less kind world, than we knew at St. Mary's. L1 To those who have a year or two left to spend at UOur School, we can truly say, We envy you. Secure your share of the treasures that lie around you. Remember, there is only one St. lWary's.
