MARY'S GRAMMAR SCHOOL Since 1889, when the Sisters of St. Joseph first began teaching here, St. Maiy's Graminar School served as .1 combination graininar and high school. Due to the fact that space was extremely limited, Monsignor Cilrain, in 195-1, completely remodernized the Grammar School. Although this was a great im- provement, the small stucco structure still proved to be inadequate to house students from grades one tlirougli twelve. Accordingly, it became quite evident that the construction of a high school, or at least an addition to the grammar school, was a necessity. As always, St. Mary's parishioners co-operated wholeheartedly with the result that ground for the new St. Mary's High School was broken in April, 1959. This school is truly a monuinent to the generosity of our parishioners and the farsightedness of Msgr. Cilrain. SENIDRS

' Q . 5 Q 4 2 l T 4 Vi ,Z Q 2 ,aff -5 X i Dear Classmates: I can think of nothing more appropriate than to thank our parents for their unselfish love and sacrifices and for their giving us a Catholic education. Also, to you, otu' devoted priests and sisters, we give thanks for the privilege of studying under your direction and for your imprinting upon our minds and hearts the teach- ings of Christ and of His Church. My fellow classmates, fondly and gratefully I cherish the memories of the past four years, of our intimate associations, for which I give thanks to Cod as the happiest Clays thus far in my life . Our misunderstandings, successes and failures, we faced together to make us better men and women who are trying to find the right path to upright living and happiness. Let us fill our minds with thoughts of peace, courage, faith, hope and charity, for our lives are a reflection of our thoughts. There will be times in our lives when we shall experience ingratitude. Let us then re- member Lhat, whereas Christ healed ten lepers, only one returned to thank Him. Ought we to expect more in the way of thanks than Christ Himself received? Let us seek out those whose lives are worthy of imitation but meanwhile, let us FIND our- selves and BE ourselves . Sincerely, RALPH LOCONTO, President, Senior Class SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: R.
