F OREWORD O Suddenly we are on the threshold of graduation! We must leave St. PauPs where, under the guidance of those who have helped mold our lives, the sterling truths of Christ, the merry laughter of friends, the disappointment of failure, the joy of success, rise to crowd our memories. We are happy to have you reminisce with us through the past under the guidance of Our Lady, whose Assumption was proclaimed in our freshman year, THE HOLY YEAR 1950, until this year 1954, the centenary of the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. May the Mother of God be our champion in the cause of justice, love, and peace as we advance into a confused and troubled world.

After a summer full of plans for a carefree year ahead, we found our first few weeks in high school taken up with the introduction of many new and diHicult subjectSe religion, English, Latin, general science, algebra, and Christian democracy. But, we were not to be daunted and soon we felt that high school life might not be so bad after all and we proceeded to the election of class oflicers. Then, INITIATION! It almost disillusioned us. The thought that we would not remain freshmen forever was our one hope. At the end of this week of torment we were received oHicially into life at St. Paulls, and all feeling of uneasiness left us. Preparations, in which we now shared, included a trip with the Sodality to Orlando where plans for the State Convention in Miami were madeea Christmas pageant presented by the Glee Club to add more joy to our first Christmas holidays. We were just beginning to enjoy ourereturn to school after the vacation, when midyear examinations were upon us, dampening our high spirits. After surmounting these obstacles quite successfully, we entered into a year of social activitiesethe musi- cal selections of RubinoH and his violin thrilled us as did his praise of St. PauPs and Catholic education,-the dances, hen parties, basketball games, the cheerleaders, Wiener roast, were all events into which we entered heartily. Our interest in the religious side of high school life was shown by the attendance of some of our class at the Reception of the Sisters of St. Joseph in St. Augustine. All of us enjoyed the Retreat given during Holy Week by Father William Fitz- patrick of Orlando. In April and May our time and thoughts were given to such important events as the Prom at the Princess Issena, an Ascension Thursday outing, sponsored in part, by our class and which has since become a tradition; reception into the Sodality of the Children of Mary and the May Procession, the final examinations, Class Day with our presentation of The Merchant of Venice, and the F reshman awards. SOPHOMORE YEAR September 1951 found us a more self-confident group as we returned to school. Quickly we adapted ourselves to the work of our second year by struggling through Latin translations, geometric propositions, and life history of the amoeba. October-The various organizations were well under way and we showed our usual enthusiasm. We supported the Crinoline Days, Dance by appearing in appropriate costumes. We made a hasty trip to St. James in Orlando to make preparations for the coming convention and to elect oHicers for our dteanery. The Thanksgiving holidays highlighted our Sophomore year, as our Sodalitj' was to be host to the State Convention. Early in November, Rev. John J. Druhan, S. J., visited us to outline the plans. From then until the close of the convention we gave wholehearted attention to this important event. To display our dramatic ability, we presented llDude Ranch, a second time, at the Peninsula Club. The members of the Glee Club enjoyed the privilege of singing the traditional hymns at the Christmas Party, while others of the class took part in the tableaux commemorating Christ,s birth. The course of events was interrupted by the end-term examinations and then the activities continued as usual. The St. Valentine,s Day dance was a llbackwardh affair since it was leap year. While all continued to support the basketball games, the girls were given an opportunity to help to usher for the various social functions at the Peabody Auditorium. March, the month of St. Joseph and vocations, marked a very important event in the annals of St. Paulls. The first Vocation Day program in the diocese was held in our school. This event was on St. Patrick,s day and was attended by prieests and sisters from various parts of the State and by high school students from the neigh- boring towns. Rev. John McNulty conducted our annual Holy Week retreat. Those three days were most welcome and helped us face the end of the year with renewed spirit. The Junior-Senior Prom, held at the Peninsula Club, was the big social event after the Easter holidays. By this time, the calendar was warning us of the passing of time and it seemed that the Catholic University examinations were too soon. On the last Sunday of May, we honored Our Blessed Mother by taking part in the procession and coronation in her honor. Although the end of the year was approaching fast, we practiced diligently under Sister John Marie,s supervision and on Class Day we helped with the celebra- tion by presenting llMargie Goes Ilfoalrzm.n J UNIOR YEAR Junior Year! What delightful memories the name recalls. Now that we were upperclassmen we immediately began work in earnest with such subjects as religion, F rench, English, world history, chemistry, and for some-the commercial subjects. Since some of the boys were in the Reserves, a few of the equally patriotic girls joined the Civil Air Patrol. The Tri-Lang Club also interested the ilinguistical members of our class. On the Feast of Christ the King, the Sodality members at- tended the Central Florida Deanery meeting in Orlando. November became memorable for St. PaulTs won first place in the city-wide llVoice of Democracyh contest; many of the sodalists spent the Thanksgiving holie days at the State Convention at St. Petersburg; a Sadie Hawkins dance, complete With King and Queen and Marryinl Bureau, was sponsored; and a club, the M.O.M.,s, to encourage domestic abilities was formed. Preparlations for the feast of Christmas found us all taking a part in the presentation of the traditional story of Christ,s birth. After we returned from the holidays, we had as our guests, Mother M. Geraldine, O. P., Mother General of the Dominican Sisters who staff our school. Mothefs companion was Sister M. Hildegarde, Novice Mistress. Again mid-terrn examinations came and went. After this we gave our attention to the Pelican, which we had the privilege of editing. Who will forget the interest and curiosity aroused by the new feature article lKPelican Pete ? At about this same time, too, the Holy Name Society began to take an active interest in our recreational facilities and there soon developed the St. Paulys Recreational Center. This organization has done laudible work as the continuance of KlOpen Housel, and other activities prove. Now for the great thrill of our Junior Year-the receiving of our class ringSh emblems of all that St. PauYs means to us and expects from us as loyal followers of her standards. The beginning of Lent found us zealously following the admonitions of Father Ferron and Father Cavanaugh, Redemptorists who gave the Mission. During Holy Week, Father Rodimer of Catholic University gave us an annual retreat which thoroughly refreshed us spiritually and the Easter holidays proved very happy ones. For days in March we had toiled at collecting and marking clothes for the rummage sale, which was a great financial success. Now we proceeded with great plans and preparations for the greatest social event on our calendar the PROM, which we held on April 17th at the Palmetto Club. Quickly the events of the next few weeks, although all very important, took place. There were the inevitable Catholic University examinations, the annual outing, the May Procession, the arrival of the yearbook, graduation and another year was gone. SENIOR YEAR It was hard to believe that we were actually Seniors when we returned to school in September. Strange that we did not seem to enjoy the exalted position as much as we had expected. Maybe we were already feeling lonesome because this was to be our last year. We welcomed Sister Alphonsus as our new Senior home room teacher and under her supervision we lost no time in getting down to the business of school work. Our subjects, with the exception of American history and science, were continued from our Junior year and that made us feel we were walking on familiar ground. Before September passed, we elected our Class oHicers, reorganized NOpen House activities, resumed the weekly Sodality meetings to which Public School members were now invited, and did plenty of homework. It was important that the Freshmen should recognize our superiority and should know that we llruled the roost,,, so earl;r in October we proceeded to the important work of initiation. We took the Freshmen in hand for a few days but climaxed it all with a good-will party in the school hall. With so many added duties as seniors, we gave full charge of the Pelican, after the October issue, to the Juniors. October also brought with it a change in the system of report cards, so we experienced another of those fateful days. However, the Hallowelen Costume Party did much to lighten our spirits. - Our big problem as Seniors was the publication of the school Annual, THE VERITAS. We tackled the business of soliciting Thads with great enthusiasm and it was surprising how quickly we reached our quota. The entire school enjoyed the art exhibit of the works of Mrs. J. Idzikovski, who gave a summary explanation of the painting shown. Once again, Thanksgiving holidays saw our delegates off to the State Sodahty Convention in Jacksonville. Several activities were undertaken to help the Florida Burse Foundation Fund. The Freshmen presented The Patchwork Quilt, and the Recreation Center group, The Trysting Place. The entire student body had pictures taken. At the annual Christmas Party, the high school gave a delightful performance of the play, The Innocents, at the Peninsula Club. Just before school dosed for the holidays, representatives of the Volusia County Tuberculosis and Health Asso- ciation presented the Hrst and second place prizes to the St. Paul winners of their essay contest. The events of the last half of our senior year passed in rapid successione examinations in January, selection of the VERITAS StafT, our pictures, the successful basketball season, a pilgrimage to La Leche Shrine, the Forty Hours Procession, the Mission given by Father Ferron and Father Cavanaugh, the Retreat with Father Carroll, the Prom at the Peninsula Club, Reception into the Children of Mary Sodality, final examinations, Ascension Thursday outing, and there we were at Class Day and Graduation! Our four years are over and we, in departing, must say that we are grateful to have had these wonderful experiences and we hope to cherish them always. Cfam ?zopgaay 1979! It seemed incredible that twenty-five years had passed since our graduation from St. PauYsl How well I, recall our plans to celebrate our 25th anniversary with a pilgrimage to Lourdes. Then the idea seemed like but Wishful thinking brought about by proclamation of the first Marian Year. Yet, here I was on my way from business in Daytona Beach to join the other members of the Class of 1954- in a reunion at Our Ladyls Grotto. The voice over the intercom startled me when it announced that we were approaching the International Airport at Idlewild. A feeling of excitement seized me for I was to meet Ray Phelan at this point. Would I know him? It was not long before the question was answered for me, because as I approached the waiting room, Ray hailed me. After a quick exchange of greetings, Ray invited me to join him at lunch in his luxurious office in upper Manhattan. At the oHice, he showed me the model of the Silver Gate Bridge. The contract for construction of this wonderful bridge had just been signd by Ray. It was to be the worldls largest, connecting Miami with the Bahamas. Fortunately, work was to be delayed for a month so Ray could make our class pilgrimage. In a few hours the two of us were winging our way across the Atlantic bound for London where we were to meet two more of our class. As we descended the ramp we were surprised to have Ruth Schnippert and Gloria Godreau call us by the familiar uJohn and Ray? We wondered that they were still together until they explained that London was the main ofhce of the new International Television Telephone Organization of which Ruth was the head supervisor while Gloria was at Oxford giving advanced courses in oHice management. Time did not permit our visiting in London and we were soon traveling toward Berlin where Rosalie, who was now head nurse at the Vatican, was spending part of her vacation with Jean Gornowicz. As foreign correspondent, Jean was doing great work in Berlin creating better relationships between nations. One more stop before Lourdes! At Paris, we were the house guests of Pat Sweeney who, in addition to the many household duties required in raising a family, found time to instruct students at the University of Paris in laboratory technique andeof all things-French folklore. After a few days spent in Paris, visiting famous shrines, the Marian Year Class of 1954 traveled to Lourdes where each of us gratefully acknowledged that for 25 years Our Lady had continued to watch over us. We pledged anew our loyalty to Mary and her Divine Son and hoped that each succeeding anniversary would find us united to her and to Him. VV E, the members of the Class of 1954-, being of sound and disposing mind, declare this to be our last will and testament and do hereby revoke all prior wills and do hereby devise and bequeath: To MONSIGNOR MULLALLY: our gratitude for his spiritual guidance and for the opportunities given at St. PauPs. To SISTER BERNARD OF MARY: our sincere appreciation for the many weary hours spent in serving us. To SISTER ALPHONSUS: our deep admiration for her zeal during our senior year. To SISTER JAMES EDWARD: our heartfelt gratitude for her understanding and guidance in our problems. To ST. PAUUS: our sincere regrets that our four years are finished and we are obliged to leave her. To THE JUNIORS: the first places in the church and in assembly, the prized title of Senior, our desks, books, and all the rights and privileges we have Cherished. To THE SOPHOMORES: the joy and pleasure of sharing the same classroom with the Seniors. May they maintain the high standards we have set. To THE FRESHMEN: our best wishes and fond hopes that they will set aside their frivolity before next September. Since each of us has been blessed with unusual gifts of mind and disposition which we wish to share, we make the following bequests: I, JOHN ESSER, bequeath my ability to do nothing and get away with it to PAUL MITCHELL. This is a valuable gift since it saves an enormous amount of energy. I, GLORIA GODREAU, bequeath my pleasant and diHident manner to MARY THERESA HAWK. May she have as much success in influencing others as I have had. I, JEAN GORNOWICZ, bequeath my sophisticated air and talent for displaying social graces to MILLIE MACDONALD. I, RAYMOND PHELAN, bequeath my ability and influence with the younger generation to ROLAND JULIEN. I, RUTH SCHNIPPERT, bequeath a yeafs supply of notes and directions to be passed durlng class to BETTY KINGSTON. I, PATRICIA SWEENEY, bequeath my place on the Honor Roll t0 RICHARD HANLEY. May he enjoy the happy distinction. I, ROSALIE TRAPANI, bequeath my ability to ask naive questions to WILLIAM DONOVAN who Wlll anticipate the correct answers. In witness whereof, we set to this, our last Will and testament, our seal and signature this 6th day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and fifty-four.
