Such was the happiness we found, To leave is to regret O, school of Christ and Mary, Still guide us lovingly Oetr land and sea andbattlelields Vv'herever we may he.

Adolph Nudrucll page mm page ten IN GIQATITUDE We, the graduating class of '-13 have always had the honored privi- lege of claiming Monsignor Walsh as lnodel, friend and benefactor. An appreciation of the fatherly interest and patient understanding, combined with authoritative advice has given him an indelible position of pI'0lll- inence in our hearts and memories, that can never be expressed as rich- ly as it deserves-or as fully as it is felt by us. Our future way of life will be influenced by the Catholic principles he set in leading an in- spirational, flawless life. May we be forever among your many friends, Monsignor Walsh, and may all come to know you as we, charitable, tolerant: an earnest priest. Only now as we are about to leave the shelter of school, is the significance of this classroom asso- ciation within our complete realiza- tion and we shall endeavor to con- firm our gratitude by being a credit to you and our Alma Mater. And your name we shall remember In the loving presence there: Where remembrances are sacred, And each memory holds a prayer. Charlene Trollman, '43.

WE CROWN OUR QUEEN OF MAY A GIQADUATEKS DIQAVEIQ TQ WIAIQY A gentle Mother's care you have lavished upon us, your child- ren, during our childhood days. Our first stumbling footsteps in the world of spiritual knowledge and perfection were tenderly guided by your Motherly love. Pure and unstained by all your radiant beauty, Immaculate Mother, you have given us a perfect Model which we may imitate and by which mold our future lives that they may radiate your likeness. During our past four years we have had to call on your help of- ten, for we have been faced with the cares and perplexities of young men and women. As we journey on, we realize how much, Mary Queen, your guidance and protection means. Now standing on brink of an uncertain future, we plead with you, gentle Mother, to shelter us beneath the folds of your blue mantle, and pray that the lily white purity of your so-ul will shine forth to aid us during the temptations of our earthly sojourn. Alys Currier, '43 page thirty-sim MAY DAY PROCESSION IW! If tlzirly-seren oss o ons---Blue on hiie The colors of a class ought to evince, more than any other emb- lem, that group's ideals and hopes. VVQ realized this, when, in 1939, we chose blue and white as the pigments of our class banner. To some, blue is suggestive of downcast spirits, but our con- tentions were far from that pessimistic supposition. Blue, to us, illustrated our class spirit-a spirit which we are confident was as deep as the sea and as limitless as the clear sky. We wanted it to portray our sparkling zest for learning, as a sapphire gives out its blue rays of beauty. But. above all, it was the color of Mary, whom we have been taught to love and to whose care are pledged. White was the other choice and our reasons for selecting it were deep-rooted. It connotes the virtue of purity, justice, honor, loyalty-all so vital in the development of character. lt will be our lode-star, beckoning, encouraging us to a better, purer and nobler life. VVhat other colors can boast of such meaningful significance? VVhat others could better represent the virtues We have striven to possess? These are the inspirations which motivated our choice and today we, the Class of '43, trust, have bten worthy of them by en- deavoring to live the ideals each represents, and working for the goals they set.

THE SAGA GF THE DAST It was September 9, 1939, that we set sail on a small vessel, destination unknown, into the blackness of the future, with nothing ahead of us but uncertainty. The crew was composed of sixty-five green Freshmen with Fate as our captain, left to guide us over the rough, stormy sea of learning into the Port of Graduation. Little did we know how stormy that sea would be, for on our first days we were completely ignored by our upper-classmen. After struggling for months over subjects as Latin, Algebra, and other laborious studies, we proved to them that we were willing to gain their con- fidence. And that we did. The night of the Junior Weiner Roast, we accepted their invitation with proud hearts, to convince them that we did have the makings of a loyal group of under classmates. Now as full-fledged members, we were allowed to attend the C.S.M.C. retreat given by Fr. Flanigan. An impression must have been made as June brought an invitation4this time to attend the Annual Picnic. The sailing was rigorous that first year. But when we entered our Sophomore year, it was a somewhat smoothier sea on which we sailed. We were getting better acquainted, so rested on our laurels, VVe knew we would be Seniors soon enough. Why waste time wish- ing? After sailing blissfully through our Freshman and Sophomore years, we emerged perfectly developed ready for the lofty flights of Juniors. At last we felt firmly established at St. Philip's, and we were beginning to get the necessary attention to carry on through the remaining years. page forty-one Never daunted, we launched our campaign and came forth with the best and most extravagant VVeiner Roast ever.' Evergreens and stocky snowmen decked the Social Hall on occasion of our Junior Jumpf' All this energy and preparation was put forth for our final climax:--our debut into formal society-the Junior-Senior Banquet. This served as a stimulant to spur us on to greater things. Realizing we were nearing the final year of our comparatively eas - foin f tri i, we as Seniors, had reached our ultimate goal. Be- m 1, 3 ing Seniors required all the dignity and sophistication we could scramble up. Our social activities included series of basketball parties, a Halloween Dance with Elton Burchard furnishing the Tra-la-la. The Seniors, play, The Three Pegsn, took B. C. by sur- prise. No convincing was necessary, as talent spoke for itself and the strenuous hours of practice were well repaid. The last, Senior- sponsored social function, thc Prom, was held at the Hart Hotel. Later we were guests of the Juniors at the Ascension Day Picnic and the Junior-Senior Banquet. The party given by the Library Association climaxed the series of memorable school activities. So now as we are nearing port, our dwindled crew can honest- ly say, and with all sincerity, that the sailing was not as rough as we thought it would be, and, in the future, we will let nothing stand as a barrier to our success. The past has faded into mere oblivion. All are looking ahead to the bright horizon that lies ahead, with a hope that will over- come all obstacles, with a loyalty that will guide us through a true, staunch Catholic life. So that, when we drop our final anchorage, we shall all be reunited in a grand and glorious class reunion --- in Heaven.

Like those to whom this epitaph owes its fame, we too shall ai1n to be Always Faithfult' to God, our country and ourselves. We shall as zealously defend it, as did the Caesarean aquilifers who first .bore itg reverence it as the medieval vassal when bearing the arms of his lord, and as proudly retain it as our gallant Marines did at Cuba, Belleau NVoods and the Meuse-Argonne. Although antiquated, it is as applicable today as it was in Gaul a half-century before the coming of Christ. T oday it is borne by the United States Marines to every continent. It finds its place in mystical China, in the shadow of weird Lama temples, under enchanting tro- pical skies, in winding Moslem streets, and shining out of Moorish ruins in romantic Spain. We, the class of X43 go into a world embroiled in strife and hard- ships. Realizing this, each must ever endeavor to be faithful to the principles so diligently taught us during our twelve years of schooling if we wish to succeed. This same motto has inspired men in the pastg may it also incite us to do some of the great things that are to their credit. James Maher. page forty-sim Seniov Class H ome - 'Quoin 12 YEARS AT ST.

He likes being with a crowd and surprises all by his devilish nature. Joe's stamp album tells a tale of its own. His hours of work on it are not bemoaned, for it's fun for Joe. His accuracy with figures was promptly discovered when he was elected class treasurer, and we, more or less, looked forward to his weekly call for class dues. It's being noiscd about that Uncle Sam has put in his bid for Joe. He's getting a fine, all round chap. Good luck ole' pal. LOIS AMBS Busy as a bee, charming as a queen--tall and slender--friendly yet business-like. All this denotes no one else but Lois AllllJS.

Frank Czyrw '43 MARGARET BRESNAHAN Bubbling with care-free adventure and enthusiastic interest in all sports, Margaret would be desolate with-out the basketball and roller-skating in which she excels. Though very quiet and unas- suming, her sincerity, ready cooperation and athletic ability are rec- ognized and appreciated by us, her classmates.

Charlene Trollman '43 ROBERT BROWN They all call him Speck',-a tall, lanky lad with mischievious blue eyes, reddish brown hair and freckles which gained for him his tell-tale nickname. His slow, easy, friendly manner makes him a favorite among his classmates and his sportmanship classes him as a regular fellow .

A natural athlete, he has had a regular berth on the basketball team and has contributed his share in bringing home the bacon .

Never in the way, but always present when she is needed, willing and eager to lend a help- ing hand. Eva's conscience never troubles her over slighted lessons. She says that a seventy is as good as a ninety for a passing mark, and why worry just as long as she gets there. Lois Ambs '43 EDWARD COBB The second semester found a new member in our class swelling our number to thirty-eight. His collection of jokes invited ready listeners, and also tagged him a likeable chap. Edward is a good student and enjoys sports of any kind. He especially likes football, at which he is quite a capable player. His hobby is collecting butter- flies and stamps, swimming too, is a favorite pastime. Although he has not revealed his future plans, his characteris- tics of diligence and perseverance are sure to aid in whatever voca- tion he chooses. ' Robert Brown ALYS CURRIER With the quiet unobtrusiveness that is so indicative of her, Alys slipped into the heart of the class one day and will remain there irrevocably. Never too busy to lend a helping hand, always ready to appreciate a good joke, she is one of those friends whose loyalty will weather the years and not be found wanting. Good luck, Alys, and may God bless you! Betty MeSherry ANTHONY CUSMANO Do all good things come in small bundles? Weive had oppor- tunity to test this adage in the person of Tony.

Conclusion: Beal guy, thrives on teasing, enjoys fun, can rise to meet the occasion. fifty-eight FRANK CZYRW An all-round guy describes Frank Czyrw.

His optimistic outlook on life and his perseverance should help him greatly in the future.

However, allow me to take this opportunity to express, to our beloved Pastor, Monsignor NValsh, on behalf of the class of 1943, our deepest gratitude forthe many words of counsel, inspirations, and fine ideals set before us. To the Reverend Fathers Bush, Ginther and Nadrach we extend our sincerest appreciation for their help in our spiritual problems and personal support in our numerous class activities. To our parents, a most heartfelt thank-you for your many sac- rifices which made possible for us the education that has brought us to this graduation day. To the Sisters, we offer our appreciation and hope that we may repay them by becoming the successful Catholic men and women they have striven to train us to be. VVC, the seniors of 213, face a troubled world--one in which many ambitions can not possibly be fulfilled. Our plans for col- lege have been droppedg jobs which we hoped to get, we can no long- er hope to fill. We have the biggest job in the world before us now, and when that is completed, we will return to fulliill the ambitions which can only be satisfied in a free world. Let us hope that we will see our children graduate into a world which is capable of using their abilities for the construction of a well-planned future rather than the destruction of a mistaken civil- ization. This hope to us is a challenge-a challenge we will accept with a confidence, inspired by the dream of a prosperous future. - James 0'Brieu 513 page seventy- TIQIBUTE TQ THE FACULTY As the twig is bent, so grows the tree . Our class, as a young tree, blissfully ignorant of the duties which full growth will heap upon it, has been carefully pruned and ire- l pared for maturity by the most expert and personally interested of gardellers-Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. and mien, whateever wise logic we may possess, all has been in- t'll d s 1 e and encouraged by our never-tiring teachers who have given the whole of their time, efforts, and faculties to us for our use that we might become the best symbols of Catholic youth and leadership. To each and all-a grateful Thank You! Betty Ann McSherry, '43 page seventy-one SPORTS 4 t BASKETBALL St. Philip 'Tigers of the 19112-1943 season were truly the fighting Tigers as was stated in the local paper: '6VVhoever named this team, the Vllg01'S, must have had these boys in mindf' Their season wasn't so spectacular as far as victories were con- cerned, for they won only four games, but they've convinced every- one they have the required fighting tiger spirit which will take them places. Perhaps the loss of both coaches, together with the small size of the boys, accounts for their poor showing. In the tournaments however, the Tigers lnade the headlines, decisively winning over Bellevue by a 44-26 score, and Marshall on the following night by a 55-39 score. SPORTS TALK AROUND SCHOOL Next fall may bring a new coach to St. Philips, replacing coach Frank Maurer, now serving Uncle Sam in the Army Air Corps. Rumor has the name of Verl Mershon noised about ..... Three seniors will be missing from the line-up next year. They are Tom Schroder, Rupert Hozie, and Dick Mahar ..... Paul Bauman, captain of the basketball team was selected by the officials as the best player in the tournaments at Charlotte. He scored forty-four points Ill two games ..... page sc fsenty-two S P U It t S, continued BASEBALL liven if last graduation and the Navy claimed some of our top players, the Tigers can boast of a fairly successful season on the baseball diamonds, finishing second in the Catholic Southern Michi- gan League and winning the majority of non-conference games. FOOTBALL Autumn saw the introduction of a new sport, football, at St. Philips. For several years there had been talk of starting a team. This year it took form, and uizder the direction ot' Father Nadrach and coach Frank Curtess the team was organized. Four games were scheduled: three of which were with local teams, the other with St. Augustine of Kalamazoo. VVe were not discouraged at losing the games, for this was expected in the first season. Ho':.'ever, all gullies showed good coaching and plenty of ability. To the players who will return next year we wish the best of luck ard hope they have a successful season.

Twelve years of earnest endeavor measures the stride of the hurtle just taken. Throughout this span of years you have striven to attain your childhood idealw-graduation. Now, more than ever, we realize the acute necessity of a sound education. From the military authorities controlling our Armed Forces comes a cry for men and womeng men of education and sound background to lead other meng women to back them up. VVe sincerely believe that you have received the education to attain these ends. An education that not only schooled you in the necessary and fundamental subjects of Math, English and the Sciences, but in that most essential philosophy-Religion. - You are now about to go forth into a world of war, to fight and to win this great conflict, that you and yours and the next genera- tions shall live in peace and security. A peace that, governed by your education and your prudence, will be a lasting peace. Our best wishes accompany you. Norman Schmitzer ,44 page seventy-Hn' INTIQAMUIQAL CI MMD!
