The year following graduation Catherine Gormley and her folks moved to Cali- fornia. She seems to have an enjoyable time opening fan mail, because she is now secre- tary to one of the most famous stars in Hollywood. Bill Stover has been uite successful as a farmer and was awarded a rize for fl P growing the largest ears in the Middle West-that is, ears of corn. Mary Friese is in Africa on a hunting expedition with her husband. They are bringing back many species, which will be given to the New York Museum. They are also bringing back two others for the school.

P ATRICIA BAILEY Secretary-Treasurer WI- cn, MARCELLA WHEELER OUR SCHOOL There's a quaint old bnilding standing Not so stately, not so tall, But among our life's landmarks, It stands clearest of them all. It's not the beauty of the building, But the lessons taught therein, Th1at will keep it ever before us, And the teachings will never dim. Here our lives were molded, And jitted to a design, Here our ambitions started, Our characters to refine. Friendship, love, religion, Important lessons we were taught, May we keep them ever near us, When in life's streams we're naught. So always remember, my schoolmates, When life's temptations call, Weire depending on you to uphold, The honor taught at St. Paul. -HELEN MOTT ,42 JUNIOR ACTIVITIES When school reopened this year, the Juniors elected the Spotlite Staff, and the customary class officers.
