CLASS POEM ST. MARY'S When we consider how our time was spent Within the shelter of its stately halls, The cherished mem'ry oft to us recalls Both charm and grace these many years have len Let us consider what these years have meant: For when the world upon our knowledge calls, Shall We admit defeat by frequent falls, Or loyal stand on vict'ry all intent? Dear St. Mary's may we never stray From your Christ-like teaching on the way Ot lite we fare! Our Faith, a beacon, be To those who pass close to Gethesemane. Then let your motto- Serve God - be our guide, So in our death, we may with Him abide. Amen.

Building for To-morrow RONALD PHILLIPS Take a test-tube about six feet long and fill with ten c. c. of humorous guipsg add two grams of athletic blood, a compound of basketball agility and gridiron prowess. Apply heath - run for your life! When the smoke has cleared away, Gwinna , our class president, will remain. Versatility plus spells Gwinna . Be it dramatics, debates, dancing-class or glee club, he is tops, t'Gwinna is the champion gloom dispeller of the class of '39 and he is the claimant of everyone's friendship. During his years at St. Mary's, Gwinna has gained honor in both curricular and extra curricular activities. Who said athletics and scholastic ability won't mix? GRACE NATOLI The case has been triedg the jury, comprised of St. Mary's faculty and students, have reached a verdict. Grace Natoli is found guilty of being the acme of efficiency. Therefore Grace is sen- tenced to be the life long friend of every St. Maryite. lf efficiency is demanded, Grace is efficientp if sympathy is needed, Grace is sympatheticg if reliability is in demand, Grace is reliable. How could anyone be so perfect? Facts prove it. Secretary of the sophomore classg vice-president of the junior and senior classesp arf editor of the Per Annosg honor pupil, are all evidence that lead the jury to reach its verdict. GERALD GERRARD 'llake-, our jack of all trades, is the proud possessor of the long lost art of blushing. Under his French suaveness, you'll find that he is cleverly concealing his shyness. When the senior play was in full swing, lake was the little man with the hammer, fcommonly called the stage managerj executed this task with the same ability as he managed the '38 football team. ln the senior election l'lake was selected to be class treasurer. ln filling this office he has more worries than the United States Government. lf his hopes are realized, ulakeu will spend his days laboring for Christ in some distant land.
