Life is strange, I decide, it is full of laughs and tears. Yet we carry on. So it was with me, but the laughs were always given the prefer- ence. Dances, proms, plays, games--all were fun. Even the classes offered many a laugh, and strangely enough I was often the cause. Impromptu entertainments for holidays and the like were also happy affairs. At present my plans are variedg my mind, unsettled. Shall I step forth to an office career, into the Held of radio, into the realm of journalism? To whatever lies before me, I go out to face it equipped with a solid scholastic founda- tion and fortified by the strength of our Catholic Faith. I fully appreciate the years spent at Saint Marys and only regret that manhood has come upon me so suddenly compelling me to close after me its doors sooner than I wish Rzcbmd Tlyomor Conlon 14 MT, mm LYNN When I arrived at the very youthful age of six my mother decided tha it was time for me 0 take my place among the dignitaries of the world Thus I first paraded in martial steps along the path of lighter education on to High School Avenue As a freshman I was puzzled as a senior I was still more puzzled My last year was the most exciting of all and the least troublesome It seemed that at last I had found my bearings and was fiying through the course to success Being a straightforward autobiogra pher Ill admit that my account suffers from the omission of numerous noteworthy achiey ements The obligatory conservation of paper however deprives you of the enviable pleasure of reading them So I bid a trium phant farewell though much remains unsald Rolau t Fmmzr Conlon 14 wira s1RLET Lxrsrs: Bang Bang It was the fourth and into this world I came Feeling th at I did not know what was in store for me I began life cautiously to such an extent th t I haye almost outdone my birth for excitement Lite 1 Saint Patrick s moxed on pleasantly year by year until I was graduated from its portals I entered Saint Mary s then knowing that four full ye lrs of pox and happiness awaited me In my galety oyer being so grown up I neglected to plan on hard study The hrst two years of my stay were ycry normal I think Wlien I began the junior stage I felt I was going some where to where I didnt know As graduation approaches I am almost sorry to leaye the school that has done so much for me I am deeply in debtcd to my parents and the Sisters They haxc pushed and pulled until at last I un ready to leaye T14 . .
