St Scholastica High School - Scholastican Yearbook (Chicago, IL)

,graham all ZMJ! With Saint Scholastica as their power plant the electrons of '39 began generation, September 10, choosing for their chief transmitters, Patricia Monahan, Mercedes Weldon, lane Redlin, and Vivian Rebora. From their initial charging, St. Patrick as patron, Shamrock as class flower, green and gold as the class colors, and the motto, Onward ever, backward never, fused forth. The first conductor of their current was a magazine campaign to raise funds for the yearbook. ln this the circuit was so securely insulated that the elec- trons were able to force the greatest number of kilo-watts into the all-school competition bulb, and for their radiant energy they were entertained in the cafeteria by the appreciative Scholastican staff. As the Thanksgiving turkey ushered in the annual fall festival, the class of '39 gave its share of illumination in order that this party, celebrating the Diamond lubilee of the Benedictine Sisters in Chicago, might be more bril- liant than any ever given in the history of S. S. A. Pep-meetings, tempting rewards, and intense class friction caused sparks to fly in all directions, carrying with them tickets and patron cards. The Searchlight of '39 blinked into second place in this contest, and sophs were seen flying from every cranny of St. Scholastica to the corner drugstore for the promised ice-cream treat. W' ith the approach of Christmas, the protons .merged their electrorole with the more seasonable one of Santa, and provisions for the needy formed the socket through which illuminating rays next flowed. Following the retreat each ion switched its current to the entertainment of the Freshmen. At this gala affair, a Mardi Gras, electromotive force induced the sophomores' greatest discharge. Singing and dancing from the more highly-volted members of the class afforded amusement, and the multi- colored Mardi-Gras parade was the result of special electrification. Pier- rots and Pierrettes joined in the fun as this electrolyte flowed smoothly on. lust as the glow from this illumination was beginning to flicker another means of distributing excess energy arrived-St. Patrick's day. With the O'Gradys and McFarleys rising to the top, green came strongly into evi- dence, and balloons of lreland's national color blossomed statically on proton wrists, adding electric novelty to the scene. Frictionizing on this occasion brought about a picnic in the gym -very verdant despite the season-from whence the song You Don't Have to Come from Ireland to Be lrish breezed through St. Scholastica corridors, striking the keynote of the radiation. Taking time out here for battery charging, the ions enjoyed the glow from another quarter-the Freshman-Sophomore Banquet. High-powered clubs and current sports short-circuited each other, as electron interests expanded in the spring. Special voltage distributed in tennis, handball, baseball, and basketball reached its climax in the annual May play-day revels. The last flow of current from the dynamo of '39 was electroscoped during a lune excursion to the Forest Preserves, after which the sopl'1 electrons, sun-burned and mosquito-bitten, left their power plant to accumulate and store away even greater electromotive force for Iunior generation. fi11fyg1Jdf 3.9
