Loo I-:EAD s Ji CLASS HISTORY S thirty-eight wayfarers we set out on a bright September day in 1928 for our jour- ney up the Mountain of Education to seek a thorough knowledge in subjects unknown to Freshies. VVe were happy to find the Sisters there to offer the key to the bright City of Success. Initiation was the first trial. Much to our-relief, the Seniors were mcrcifully inclined and no worse mishap than a possible case of indigestion resulted from the occasion. Sister Mary Francella, our home room teacher, was most competent in impart- ing religious and secular training. Indeed, our first year in high school was a delightfnfl assurance of the greater joys for the future. VVl1en duty called we were obliged to continue our way. This time our number was decreased, for eight students deviated from the path of learning. Under the supervision of Sister Mary Angeline. our Sophomore year was a decided success. Half the battle had already been fought-we CLASS li. the class of '32 being of sound mind Pj bequeath and will to the present junior class the things we don't want. including studies, work, lectures. and also ou'r ability to comprehend diflicnlt problems. To the sophomores we leave the good example we have always displayed in study and assembly hall. VVe also wish them to adopt our love of the family firesidc, that is, our preference in spending a nice quiet evening at home. A To the freshmen we bequeath our sophistication and sense of humor. also the knack of laughing loud enough at the wrong time. The next year's freshmen are to merit the joys and sorrows of high school life. Considering the magnitude of the pleasures in comparison with the CLASS Energy VVins the VVayl VVith this motto be- fore us when entering upon our high school career, we were given encouragement and hope which tended to overcome dominating fears of failure. Under its basic guidance, during the last four years we have attained a creditable education. gleaning all honors and achievements according to the mentality with which God endowed ns. were then called juniors. This year seemed filled with many successes. The junior edition of the Look-A-Head received great praiseg this was due entirely to the earnest supervision of Sister Mary Lillian, our director and home room teacher. The .lunior-Senior Excursion seemed to be the last final act of our junior year. It proved an extremely memorable one for all. Seniors! The very word seems to thrill us and is more like a dream than a reality. In hearts we are still the younger classmen striving to be the leaders. Sister Mary Norbertine, our principal and home room teacher, prepared us spiritually as well as mentally to combat the battles of life. This last year sped quickly for it was filled with activities that time could not be heeded. Glec Club, Class Play, and innumerable studies kept us happily busy as well as contented. Enviously we leave the field to other laborers, but our hearts will always be within the center of their activities. WILL sorrows we consider this a very worth-while in- heritance. VVe contribute to Miss Ruth Hafner thc remain- der of our pencils in recompense for lead wasted in issuing demerits to honorable seniors. VVe also leave her peace and quietude in the study hall. To our beloved principal we will our good will. to have and to hold, forever and ever. To the entire faculty we give our gratitude and a sincere promise to remember them in our prayers. In VVitness whereof. we, the SENIOR CLASS. af- fix our oflicial seal on this ninth day of June, in the year of our Lord. one thousand nine hundred and thirty-two. Signed. sealed and acknowledged by The Class of thirty-two MOTTO As we leave the portals of our cherished Alina Mater, we are determined to carry this motto with us. VVhen future days are filled with sorrows or regrets, may these four small words again utter their encouragementg God grant that they float be- fore ns in the fiashing hue of crimson. Energy is required for the accomplishment of any noteworthy actg therefore. it is only energy that can win for ns. the VVay. the Truth and Life-our goal. 10 -s s ll CF J 7

6 Loo I-iEADa s COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES T was a serious group of twenty-seven seniors that opened their Commencement exercises June 9, by attending Holy Mass and Communion in a body. Later they were served a delicious break- fast by the juniors. At 8 P. M. the strains of the Military Escort played by the school orchestra under the direction of Mr. Carl L e n z, they filed gracefully down the aisle and took their places on the stage. Lucille Betschman delivered the Saluta- tory address in a v e r y praiseworthy manner. She wel- comed all to the ex- ercises. Minglcd with the welcome were strains of sorrow at parting. Follow- ing this, the class sang th e Lost Chord in three part harmony. It was a beautiful and ap- pealing song. C'lif ford li r o w n. Valedictorian. e x- pressed sincere ap- preciation in the name of the class for the sacrifices and Very Rev. Francis J. Macelwane generosity of the priests. sisters. parents and all who have contributed to their educational advantages. The Very Reverend F. J. hfacelwane. speaker of the evening, gave a beautiful and inspiring address. In a masterful way he placed before the graduates the ideals and principles that become Catholic men and women. He stated that their duty to God should be first and foremost. while duties involved in various stations of life should be secondary. He emphasized loyalty to country, parents. school and friends. 'Being a man of outstanding character and intelli- gence he frankly stated that education is still in its minor stages at graduation.. and that great success is only to be attained by the broad and far-reaching knowledge of various subjects. The graduates will always hold his memory and advice sacred, for he has given them true signifi- cance of life. The overture Zenith', was played by the orches- tra after which Father Curtin presented the grad- uates, and Father Forst conferred the honors. He also spoke a few words of counsel and encourage- ment. Clifford Brown was awarded a gold medal for his high scholastic attaiuments. Four of the graduates who were members of the high school orchestra were awarded a gold pin for their fidelity in punctuality and attendance at prac- tice. They are Lucille lietschman, Mary Xlissler. Philip Link and Donald Young. The exercises were beautiful in their simplicity and were enjoyed by an extremely large number of relatives and friends. VALEDICTORIAN ANDQSALUTATORIAN We announce with pleasure the honor students of the class of ,32, namely, Clifford Brown and Lucille Betschman who have won , spectively. f'lif't'ord Brown for themselves the honor of Valedictorian and Salutatorian, re- In connection with his high scholastic standing, Clifford was elected president of the class in his freshman and sophomore years. During his four years of high school life he has entered many lit- erary contests in which he reaped honors and awards. Lucille has btitill our faithful L-A-H editor for the past year, class secretary for three years. pianist in the orchestra for three years, and an active member in many other activities. These two students have labored incessantly throughout their high school career and it is only right and just that such an honor Lncille Betsch man be given them. They have done much to bring honor and fame to St. Paulis and we feel certain that they will continue to do so. 12 YN-A .45 S Qs .I N K
