Building for To-morrow JOHN BARANELLO Although he has been with us for only one year, lohn has proved himself a person well worth knowing. Tohn and school spirit are synonymous. lf you hear a deep voice booming, Get in there and fight ,-that voice will belong to Tohn. Typing seems to be his hobby. When you hear the click, click of the typewriter, it is inevitably Tohn putting his fingers through their setting-up exercises. lohn is unquestionably One for all . lf you want flowers, if you want pictures, if you want someone to sell tickets, if you want a pep talk-Tohn is the answer. GLENN HUGHES Take a large amount of Rip Van Winkle, add a generous portion of the Rockne spirit seasoned with Ned Sparks' dry humor-shake well and the result will be Claude . Wearing the blue and gold colors four years on both the gridiron and the court, Claude has gained friends near and far. Claude may be a problem in the classroom, but on the gridiron or court he is the solution. By voting him treasurer in the sophomore class, Claude's classmates showed their esteem for him. His quiet, peaceful life has gained for him the title Sleeping Beauty ot '39 . Claude doesn't hurry and he doesn't worry, but he is everyone's friend. We like seniors They strut about, They snub underclassmen, Call orders out. They throw away papers, They find them again. Seniors are queer creatures, We like them. -Class of '39 5122 I uv- ' 6

Building for To-morrow JUNIOR CLASS lt was complete metamorphosis, a revolution, not an evolution . . . the luniors' transition from young, silly children of their Sophomore days to sedate young ladies and gentlemen of a higher class. Cne moment we were flitting from one thing to another, like a bee from flower to flower, the next we emerged into responsible and dependable girls and boys entrusted with planning the lunior-Senior Banquet and the joint Prom with the Seniors. Qur lunior class members have always been leaders. ln the autumn they showed their initia- tive by presenting an original drama. l'Murder on Hallowe'en , an hilarious comedy, was written by our class president, Robert A. Kennedy. Before the climax was reached, the audience had continuously burst forth in spasms of laughter. During the year they put on numerous mixers, deported themselves with eloguence and power in the lunior-Senior debate, and gave a superla- tive farewell banguet to the Seniors. Now, as we are eagerly anticipating the day when we may be called the Hdignified Seniors , we are determined to keep perfection as our goal and make our senior year perfect, both in schol- arship and sociability. With due respect to former senior classes we hope to bring to St. Mary's blue and gold banner still greater glories. 1 Our Successors. Maybe!
