.lfllllllf A1lfb0797 Hzckty 9 ASPEN STREET, LYNN With the words of the wiseman- Smile and the world smiles with you, ringing in my ears, I left the seclusion of my home to begin school. In almost no time, my good teachers were aware that they had to contend with a very unusual boy, and as a result my parents made many an obliga- tory trip to school. Nevertheless, the time soon arrived when I was to be graduated from Saint Patrick's Grammar School and pass on in search ot high honors at Saint Mary s Boys High My Erst two years were passed in talm serenity but the latter part of my stay was marred by many a scare particularly when report cards made their appearance It is time now for me to leave this scene of a very happy four year stay I go fully aware that because of the efforts of my deyoted parents and the wonderful Sisters l am prepared to mcet life with a smile with confidence and determination 19 CHASE STRl'l:T LYNIN If you viere in the habit of visiting Connery Gymnasium when the Blue and Gold of Saint Mary s was performing your eyes would have rested on a familiar landmark in the person of Charles I-Ioen Manager The three years that I have enjoyed this honor have unquestionably been the happiest in my life Whether I was on the court on the dance floor or in the class room my heart was always with Saint Mary s Even when I had a bad day in my scholastic studies or a run in with one of the teachers I was enyoying life I really love all that goes to make up Saint Marys but especially the Sisters and the fellows These fine teachers have done muci to make the rungs on my ladder of life golden May I never forget them' My parents have also contributed without reserve to this golden climb That I shall always be grateful is my fervent wish Rzcbam' N011 fame! 6 1 NASON ROAD SWAMPSCOTT Pushing aside the trig and physics that cluttered up my desk and saying a prayer for perseverance I began my autobiography once more Again this attempt seemed futile and probably bound for the waste basket I-Iow can the trials and joys of years be put into a few paragraphs? I queried After having found the rate of acceleration in physics and the log tan in trig a simple question like the above should hold no fears for me yet my mind was blank linally with a timely suggestion from my mother as to .1 start I began to vsrite As evcnts like my entrance as a sophomore my nearly destroying the laboratory when a yunior and my happy existence as a senior flooded my mind I potted them dovsn but recollections of yoys camc so fast that they could nuer be recorded in such a short space Somcvx hat disappointed then I submit this feeble attempt at .1 masterpiece L22 Y . . , . . s a r .

Wz'll12r11z forcpb Lmulergmz 263 LYNN SHORE DRIVE, LYNN Lost in reverie, 1 dream a dream of days gone by. Mentally I catch a glimpse of my squirming through the primary and elementary grades, and emerging a graduate of one Saint Mary's school, only to take up my resi- dence in another. I recollect also that though I had been most reverently baptized William joseph, my pals chose to christen me Yo. Some of my time during high school was spent on the basketball court. For two years they kept me in reserve, then the otlicials of the Catholic League decided to ban me from the court because of my unusual ability Through these years I have learned to admire the Sisters and the standards they uphold and teach And so I leave these grounds with a spirit of gratitude in my heart for them and more especially for my parents whose wise choice accounts for my being graduated in the Class of Nincteen Hundred Forty six from Saint Mary s Boys High School Sherman Carl Larbua 8 BENNETT CIRCLE LYNN Leisurely puffing on my corncob I sit back to dwell on those happy memo ries of the events which brightened life at Salnt Mary s Dimly through the passage of time I w sion myself mixed up with dead uncles and home less cats in my Hrst Parents Night Performance More plainly I hear sounds of arguments and see myself at the debater s rostrum fighting each proposal set forth by my worthy opponents In this sphere it was my privilege to join with my colleagues in producing a championship team in nineteen hundred and forty five Dances have always been my favorite social activity With the grace of an elephant I glided across the waxed floor always in perfect rhythm with the music Occasionally the orchestras couldnt keep time with me With music and arguments ringing in my ears I turn to face the world Plazlqu Edward Laubnw' FAYETTI STREET LYNN the recollections of my happy high school life In my collection are jewels of the senior drama when I played a millionaire with only a dime in my pocket or of my span as a budding politician in the sophomore and junior years when the boys shouted Impeach the president when I made a mistake Debating glitters also because it is made up of fun as well as tedious research and nervous anxiety There are dancing ,ew els also How could I forget my first attempt at a slow one when the music shifted in the middle to a jitterbug tempo?
