But, after the ceremonies are over, and congratulations and good wishes have been extended to the graduates, we begin to realize that next year's graduating class will be composed of the present Junior group. It is then that the questions arise: Will the Junior Class worthily represent our schooli- Will it uphold the prestige which the graduates have established? Will it be another stone in the strong wall of success built by previous Senior Classes? These questions can readily be answered if we but look into the past and see what record has been established by the future class of Seniors during their third year. lf the record shows a high mark in discipline, obedience, scholarship and thoughtful- ness, combined with a firm loyalty to school, we may rest easy in the assurance that, as Seniors, the class will adequately represent the school. VVe will know that the ex- ample set by such a group is worthy of imitation and that the affairs entrusted to them will be capably managed. ln the Junior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty- seven the above essentials of a successful Senior Class are not lacking. The Class takes pride in the fine reputation it has established, not only the third year, but also in the first and second year. When the Class of '28 entered the portals of St. Maryis High School, a 'class of purpose and high ideals came. As freshmen, we were timid, backward and afraid, but through our timidity and back- wardness we saw for ourselves what was expected of us. And when examination time came 'round we also found out what was demanded of us in our daily class work. With these two thoughts in mind, we completed our first year most success- fully. As Sophomores, we began to possess a mild feeling of pride and independence. We saw in the new freshman class, failings which we had outgrown. So we strove on and on, and not in vain, endeavoring to make ourselves worthy to be students of St. Mary's. Thus our second year drew to a close with a more encouraging future. Nineteen hundred and twenty-seven found us Juniors. Through our undying interest and hard efforts, we were well worthy of the title. We had, indeed, won a name for ourselves, a name to be proud of in the years to come, a name to be cher- ished, not lost. We have cooperated in every way we possibly could in making each and every undertaking of St. Mary's a success. In all activities we have been able to hold our own. In an academic way we have earned recognition, in athletics-ah! that speaks for itself. Just look at the lVI's proudly worn on Junior sweaters, and see who cheered the Blue and Gold to Victory. Less than a score of years after our graduation, the word success will be obso- lete, but when people wish to use that expression, they will say, f'St. Mary's, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-eightf' JAMES SCANLON, '28 RAYMOND YOUNG, '28 Q-I f 2' A at Frm .
