. $$$$th y ti??? gaguntu! WGIIFHJE$ lll$ WEARJWDGDK WEARW The Class of 1949 has witnessed one of the most momentous years in the history of Saint Peterls Academy. First we saw our football team fight its way to the close of a spectacular season, emerging untied and unconquered; the girls basketball tearfl became a long awaited reality and received official recognition by the purchase of smart, snappy uniforms. But the words, HThis. is Yearbook Year , slogan of our successful financial campaign, stand out as symbolic of our supreme achievement. Our yearbook is the fulfillment of a dream we have cherished since our freshman days-that the Class of 194-9 would be the first class to publish a record of our high school ups and downs, something to keep through the years to remind us of Saint Peter,s and of what we have accomplished here. y e To be sure, there is work connected with the preparation of a book such as this; but 'there has been even more laughter. Remember the fun we had getting our pictures taken! Then there were afternoons after school in the library-writing and rewrit- ing, sketches and outlines, llWell, maybe and Let's try it this way . And did you hear those comments when the proofs came back from the photographers? All in all we hope that you will enjoy reading this book as much as we have enjoyed preparing it. THE EDITORS
