Green and Gold School life ! ah ! the charm that lingers ' Round us all, as unseen fingers Touch the chords that thrill our being, And bring us back, with mind still seeing All the joy of old Saint Stephens, Joy that waned not with the seasons. Classmates let us all extoll The beauties of our Green and Gold. Good as gold may we forever Keep our hearts along life ' s way, While Truths golden sunbeams sever All the black clouds from our day, May the green stand as a symbol Of our Faith, so staunch and bold, May our lives be proof so ample Of the meaning, Green and Gold. Green and Gold stand up forever As the ideal of our dreams, May we find that school life ever Proved its worth as always deemed. May we each accept the mission That fate will to us soon unfold. But regardless its condition Vivtory ' ll crown our Green and Gold. —MARGUERITE i VNVN. THE TAX GATHERER “And pray, who are you?” Said the violet blue To the Bee with surprise At his wonderful size In her glass of dew. “I, madam,” quoth he, “Am a publican Bee, Collecting the tax Of honey and wax, Have you nothing for me?”

Class of ’20 MARY MINER MARION MALLON JOHN DEVEREAUX JOHN TYNAN PRESIDENT V1CE-PRESNDENT TREASURER SECRETARY Reading from left to right: First row, Margaret Meehan, Irene Trese, Kathrine Brogan, Mary Miner, Frances Walton, Marion Mallon, Madeline Wolfstyn. Standing — Emmett Devereaux, John Tynan, Frank Kronner, George Marx, John Devereaux. And now we have our Seniors elect, and we consider them entirely worthy to fill the vacancy or vacuum created by the departure of ’19. Take Emmett Devereaux for instance. He’s an honorary and trusted member of the L. O. T. M., and is just as wise as he looks. If it is true that while life there’s hope, it’s a cinch that Pat Wolfstyn has lots of hope. Catherine Brogan, too. She may talk quite a bit, but she says something every time. Jack Tynan you will find interesting, with a quick brain and a nimble tongue. Margaret Meehan is a quiet lass, but remember that still waters run deep. There are some budding authors in this class, too. Francis WaUon for instance, and John Devereaux, who is Irish through and through, in spite of his name. Frank Kronner, whose motto is “Fun for all, all for fun” practices what he preaches. Irene Trese believes in the same doctrine, but uses her school books, too. And then, George Marx, the one and only. Know him? Enough! As for scholars, what better could you ask than Mary Minor and Marion Mallon. They fairly radiate knowledge, as the picture shows. Now where could you find a better class? DO IT NOW Has your past been filled with failure? Vain it is that you regret it, Lose no time in idle grieving ; Just forget it. Build not in tomorrow’s dreamland, Castles of the musing brow ; The today demands attention — Do the next thing now !
