May. 1951 SANASCRTPT P'ifO Thrnr Let Us Be On Our Way Like some low and mournful spell, We whisper that sad word • Farewell’ ! Commencement Day in a Catholic school is, 33 it were, a day of Thanksgiving. Not in the sense that we, the graduates are glad to get out of school,but thanksgiving because of something real that has been accomplished. At graduation we close another chapter in the Book of Life; we cease to be school boys and girls. Tomorrow we begin a new chapter as we become responsible young men and women in a dishonest world. While in St.Matthew’s we were trained and educated to act a port in two worlds: first, to take an honorable place in life; secondly, to be a4 participant in the joys and blessings of God in eternity. We are grateful for the days of preparation afforded us. Our gratitude extends to our priests and teachers, both religious and lay, for their untiring efforts that we might enjoy the advantages of what Aristotle called an ornament in prosperity, and a refuge in adversity - namely, an education. Neither are we unmindful of the many sacrifices made by our loving and devoted parents that we might share in the privileges and abundant advantages nffordsd by our Catholic educational system. To these and all v ho help- ed us reach our goal, we are truly grateful. But the thanksgiving and joy attendant on graduation is not without its tinge of sadness. To say goodbye to those with whom for four years we sorrowed and joyed in all kinds of weather is not too easy. Henceforth, our paths,our interests will become divergent, leaving us only happy memories of our high school days. To the Undergraduates we say ’Farewell,’ We hope that you will miss us sometimes, and that your memories of us will be registered as Ein Duncan says in Macbeth , ’where every day I turn the leaf to read them.’ We, the graduating class,feel privileged to have our names added to the list of St. Matthew’s High School Alumni. May we ever be faithful to the traditions and ideals of our Alma Mater, Hail, St. Matthew's High For you, our School, we will e'er do right; Our colors gay, we wave today, We'll always stand, by the Blue and White. As the years go on, Our song will ring, up to the sky— Hearts o'er flowing, praises glowing, Hail to St, Matthew's High! For you our Alma Mater dear we sing; -P-fl ft Four SAMASCRIPT iay. 1951 To you our loyalty, our hearts we bring; With hearts sincere, we now proclaim your name, As we sing again this glad refrain; Hail to St. Matthew's High! And so, Classmates of 1951, with these words carved deeply in our hearts and souls, let us arise and he on our way.' -Francis Kehoe, '51 SENIORS TO ATTEND BACCALAUREATE MASS FOLLOWED BT BREAKFAST Baccalaureate exercises will be held on Sunday, June 10. Clad in traditional cap and gown, the seniors will attend Moss and receive Holy Communion in St. Matthew's Church at 10 a.m. AD ASTRA PER ASPERA As study duced freshman beginning our of Latin, we were intro-tn our school motto,AD A'vt’EA AWRA: (TO THE STARS -rr • fc VCU VC PS); as s onhopor� o s, wo word reminded of it; as .luniors, ,70 wore mm id to wear it i“‘scribal or our rin'S, vow, seniors ] about to be -Tc-dun cd, wo wit the resoonnibl lity not only of cheni.obi rr- it as a precious heritage, but also of nractici ng in our daily lives rH that it connotes.

Inina tod Following the Mas the graduates will be served a catered breakfast in the school auditorium. Among the guests on this occasion will be former students who are 1 graduating thi3 June from institutions of higher learning, as well as the priests of the parish and members of the faculty. The Class of 1951 will present to Father Schuster, as a gift to the'school, a complete 3et of flags: American, Papal, and school flags,____________' by hocojwo have felt that we arc ready to do and dare anything. Now, however, upon graduation; the scone changes. As rraduatos we stand atthc fork in the crossroads of life, o stand no'- alone. Alone but armed.

He passed the Salvation Army Band under the direction of Colonel CHARLES WILSON and featuring Private ANN QUINN as soloist. The band featured former Colantonio-girl3, MARY ANN DAREY, DOLORES ANASIE-WICZ, and SYLVIA BRADLEY playing Are You for Real? from the famous movie Strange Love written by CHARLOTTE WATSON and starring JAMES EDWARDS and JOANNE EVANGELIST. Suddenly, Officer CHAMPAGNE noticed two itinerant vagrants,JOHN GRUELICH and FRANCIS LENDACKY, by name, resting under the morning issue of BIG JIM BUTLER'S Daily Bulletin. Upon seeing this violation of City Ordinance No. 246210241965-330-R, Section 7-A, he proceeded to carry out his duty when his eye was caught by the headlines which reod President GERALD LEFLAR Vetoes Draft of 18-Year Old Women. Reading further he learned that Republican party leader, MARY GALLAGHER, dripping in mink, announced the authors of the bill to be Senators THOMAS LYNCH and NANCY RAMSEY. ‘ THERESA PRUSINOWSKI and RICHARD PULTORA’K, noted columnists, devoted their columns to the women's draft issue which was debated on TV last night by Captain MARGARET GAVIN of the Waves,and i-JZAN ROMANO, Civilian Industrialist; moderator was JOSEPH DE jSANTIS,well-know TV personality.

Chief witnesses for the defense were: PAT McNAMARA, landlady of the accused, and LUCY MATTEO, proprietor of Lucy's Pool Room, which is KEHOE'S hangout. The verdict returned by jury foreman, DOLORES ZIMMER, known chemical manufacturer, was guilty in the eighth degree. Turning to the society news, he finds the announcement that the Catholic Daughters will hold its First National Convention in Conshohocken—headed by Grand Dragon, MARGARET BOTTO. It will be held at Monsieur WILL SARVEYS Hash House, where entertainment will be provided by VINCE RODING famed crooner, and the sensational skating team of GEORGE MEVINS and JOAN POWERS. On the adjacent column, RUBY saw the 'account of yesterday's PTA meeting of Tracey Catholic High School, Guest of the day was-J. STANLEY K05EK, Conshy ' High School Principal, Among the not-ablej speakers was JAMES QUINN who noke on the simplification of the Pythagorean Theorem, following a lecture by school nurse, DOLORES MUNRO, on the cure for spring fever,developed by Doctor GEORGE MULLIGAN.

Getting off to a late start os we did, together with the fact that we were novices at the work, v;e were unable to give to our readers all that we should have liked to give them. This issue of SAMASCRIPT is to be for the Seniors a memory book, and so it is planned to give pleasure, not only now when our memories of St. Matthew's are clear, but for later years when the passage of time has dulled somewhat our recollections. Thus besides perpetuating the names cf the Class of 51 thi3 number of SAMASCRIPT recreates in words the school year just finished. We hope that our readers will derive 83 much pleasure from reading these pages as we enjoyed in preparing them, THE STAFF . . t 4 ' ssr ■V ■ Mk � - ' W -V - I Jl N'-T— 7 2ir V ia V, � 1, -.«L A; t wStrai%ii5 Sk i 3 .. ??;• •• f i t atf vt- y . .,. , V1- - � -w “� ■ ri? v -V - .♦.'• r g. g g? . - • T ■ T
