CLASS HISTORY .Juniors 102 An entire year has swiftly gone by since the first day, the title of Juniors was bestowed upon us. The second half of our high school education, was like a mystery unfolding itself slowly but surely. Today, looking back we are pleased with the year which just passed into eternity. Yes, a mystery which shrouded our entrance into the Junior year, needed no Sher- lock Holmes to find the solution. By diligent study and cooperation in all activities of the school, the mystery was solved: We are bound to find peace and happiness with the conscientious performance of each duty. ln the future we'll always look back with pride and joy to our third year knowing that happy days were spent here. We'll often recall the anxiety we felt upon awaiting the arrival of our shorthand and typing awards. How we wondered who the lucky winners would be, and how absorbed we were in the instructions on health given to us by Nurse Elizabeth Wrightl lnscribing these in our book of memories, we now must look ahead into our senior year with new hope that it will be our privilege to spend another year at St. Michael's High, Our goal will be to achieve the worthy title of next year's active seniors as well as the fourth graduating group of St. Michaels Lorraine Arendt Sophie Badeusz Jacqueline Bleiski Julia Boianowski lrene Cichocki Evelyn Ciesielski Helen Dlugokencki Dorothy Dudek Phyllis Jarnrcch Alfreda Marczewski Therese Nykowski Therese Polewski Geraldine Pyrzynsk, Ann Skic l-lelen Scwinski Lorraine Stasigk Martha Staszak Virginia Szpaier, Pres, Valeria Wafczak Dorothy Warzyrski Alice Wasielewski Ann Wegner Evelyn Woiciechowski Harriet Zurek Page Seventeen
