On February 17, a banquet was held at the Senior High School, with dancing afterwards. This proved to be a big success and was enjoyed by everyone who at- tended. A week from this date a party was given for the children of the parish. The highpoint of the celebration was a Solemn High Pontifical Mass celebrated by Archbishop Cushing during which he praised the great work that was being done by our beloved pastor, Monsignor Riordan. The Monsignoris inability to attend the Mass or the banquet. due to illness, was the one sad note in our happiness. However, the Mass was heard by him through the newly installed Public Address System in the Church. It is a great honor to be graduating in this, the year of our 'L10Oth Anniversary. Whenever we look at our beautiful church we find it rather dilhcult to think that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was first celebrated in a Whig reading room in Watertown Square. On June 2, 184-7, Father Flood bought a Methodist Church as a place of worship for his congregation. There was some difficulty over this purchase due to prejudice and bigotry but the sale went through. Within a few weeks this building proved in- adequate. New land was purchased by Father Flood and the cornerstone of our church was laid by Bishop Fitzpatrick on September 27, 1847. The church was opened in 1848. We should be very proud of our parish for it has played a major part in the development of the faith in this locality and has contributed generously to many causes. Our parish ranks extremely high in the number of boys and girls it has sent to the various religious orders. As young men and women about to enter into the world, we sincerely hope and pray that we may be as much a credit to our parish as those who have gone before us. Klum Ufgicafm l PRES.

That might yet come our way. 'Twas just twelve years ago To gain iust an education We entered, a noisy mass- Was never meant to be But like a beautiful picture We must learn something higher We've blended to form a class. To keep our nation free. We were taught by our teachers For we're the ones who must learn We thank them for all they've done As the path of life we trod, liut they seek no earthly praise That peace with fellow men They've done this for His Son. Comes only from our Cod. Now we must leave dear Saint Pat's ln the year of g'47', So all of those who follow us May know the road to heaven. JosEPH REILLY Klan 50114 fTunej fThe Things We Did Last Summerl Oh the class bell as it rang The students as they sang They'll all be stored away with memories. The joys we've had together We'll remember all of our lives. To think we have to go Makes our heart beat slow. And to some it may bring tears But to us this day Who smile our cares away It has been twelve joyous years. Now the time to part is near From the school we hold so dear From our beloved Saint Patrick's I-lighg But the joys we've had together We'll remember all of our lives.

We have all enjoyed a very interesting and profitable year in History. as we have studied from the founding of our country. through the Civil War. right up to our present cultural and intellectual growth. ln the course of our History work this year, we have made maps, and have done much helpful outside reading. With the assistance of Sister Charlesetta. we have learned many different things of varied interest and received much help from her not found in our history book. Many of the students have read current hooks of the day dealing with historical eyveuts of the past war, and have related them in class. Through the use of referezge hooks at the lihrary. we have looked up the lives of many of our famous men in history. not only of past wars. hut also famous men in world war two. Studying the growth and de- velopment of our country, and how it achieved its place among other nations of the world has made up an altogether enioyahle and progressive course. d,SOJyJfJ. ,' Left How.

Wle have all enjoyed a very pleasant and successful year in typing class, under the guidance of our wonderful commercial teacher, Sister Muriel. Among our accomplishments this year we all subscribed to uThe Gregg Writerf' a monthly magazine for typists, stenographers, and secretaries. We all enjoyed this interesting magazine, and it proved to be a great help to us in typing speed, and accuracy. All the members of the typing class sent away specimens of their typing, as well as shorthand to 'LThe Gregg Writerf, and most of us received awards in the '4Order of Artistic Typistsf' and the 'f0rder of Gregg Artistsf' This was a great encouragement to us all. Two mem- bers of the class were fortunate enough to receive pins lbronzej for their fine speci- mens of work. Transcribing our shorthand notes on to the typewriter is now an everyday occurrence, and it really is enjoyable trying to get 'cmailable lettersf, Sister Muriel has given us many helpful hints and suggestions, and with all these things in our favor, we all hope that when we go out to a position, we will shine in our typing and secretarial work, and be a valuable addition to any office.

Miss McCarthy. the play was a great success. Such has been the case with all the plays at Saint lJatrick's School. which have been under her direction. Shirley lVlcDermott excelled as Jane the sometimes masculine pursucr of Bun- thorneis affections. Helen Nlcffllin as Lady lflla. Betty Ollalloran as Lady Saphire and Barbara Sullivan as Lady Angela graced the court with their beautiful voices and charming personalities. Gloria Sherman as Patience acted and sang with the finesse of an accomplished actress. Francis Hannon as Colonel Caverley portrayed magnificently a stern colonel who was proud of his uniform. John Reardon, as the Duke of Dunstable. was marvellous as an ollicer in the lfnglish Army. James Devaney excelled in his part of the major as did John Oillourke in por- traying Reginald Bunthorne, a great poet who despised poetry. John lVlcEllin, as Archibald Grosvenor. who recited laugh-provoking poems had the audience in laughter continuously. James Ulilrady did very well as Bunthorne's solicitor.

Yes, we have enjoyed every minute of our three years in high school and we are duly proud to think of ourselves as future seniorsf' When the time comes for us to leave the school we hope that we will be able to look back on a happy and successful four years as the graduating class of H47,, can now do. ,joplwnwfuz flau First Row, Left to Right: Helen Luppino, Annina Camerato, Rita Howley, Palmina DeGeorge, Ethel Monahan, Alice Fitzgerald, Laura Monahan, John McDonnell, Richard Vachon, ,lean Cunniff, .loan Callahan, Helen McLautl1lin, Jean LaChiatto, Ruth Monahan, .lean MacKay, Anne 0'Connell.

Vile, the Class of 50,,, after a happy though sometimes hazardous school life, were introduced in September to the more serious subjects of High School, to the sports, fun and general enjoyment that go with the word Freshmen. Some of us have chosen the college course: others have chosen the commercial course. Already our futures are shaping themselves. lt will be the goal of the Class of MSO to bring honor to Saint Patrickis, in practical Catholicity, and in sports. ln no better way can we show our appreciation to our beloved pastor, Monsignor Riordan, his assisting priests. to the Sisters and to our devoted parents, and prove to them that their great sacrifices have not been in vain. gm Klub l'Rl'iSlDl'iN'l' Mary Cloherty VltIli-l'IllCSlIllCN'l' Marj mml' ic lla-HRK l'n1. in Slflflll'i'l'AllY Margarvl llcvanvy 'l'lll'iASlllll'ill Shi-ila tfurtin ln tht- lattc-r part ol' 1910 thvrc- was organizml at St. l'atrim-kis lligh School. a gh-4' 1-luh. llnclm-r tht- flirt-vtion ol' Sistt-r Zachary. our musical guitlv. anal tht- assur- anm' ol our ltl'lllt'llt21l.

Une to the schoolis small enrollment we have heen placed in Division Four where we will compete with schools like Sacred Heart of Newton. Saint Patricles of Stoneham. Saint Thomas of Jamaica Plain, and Sacred Heart of Weymouth. It may also he said that Coach Thomas has much confidence in his hoys' ability lo master the art of hall handling on the diamond.
