These books are the donation of different classes and individuals, as well as the very well chosen books, which were always the proud boast of “Old St. Stephen s. Our little library, located on first floor, for use of the grammar grade children, was helped by the generous donation of Miss Julia Phillips. This concludes the story of St. Stephen, except to say that although our gradu- ates in 1899 only numbered three and our class of 1931 number forty-two, still we feel that the added quantity would not be our excuse for honest pride if we failed as we grew to imbibe and perpetuate the fine old spirit that ever marked the “old grads.’ Margaret O’Brien ’31.

% The Portal CLASS RING Not the metal , nor the gold, Makes me love my class ring, But the memories you will hold And the blessings you will bring. Lovingly ice took you up And our Pastor breathed a prayer That our lives will faithful be Bright as you ice re shining there. Dear Class ring in time to come You will bring ns memories dear Of the friends in 81 Who have dearer grown each year. Vrronica Easton, ’31. “Nisi Dominus Frustra. Faculty, students and friends , Can we but whisper just a Word where school-days end, Proving that you have led us Life’s best to attain. And “ Unless God be with us All labor is vain!” “Nisi Dominus Frustra. Dear classmates, as we part, Sorrorc seems to thrust a Sharp pain through each heart. May it all remind us In Alma Mater’s name That Unless God be with us All labor is vain!” “Nisi Dominus Frustra. With our green and gold And our class flower, just a Rose unrolled. May life’s training fit us Heaven’s our smile to gain, For “ Unless God be with us All labor is vain!” Cleta O’Brien, ’31. CLASS FLOWER Go lovely rose, the poet sang. And tell the world we chose you To give us joy throughout the years And keep our hearts in rose hue. Our rosy glasses we will wear When sorrows cross our pathway. And love the rose and scorn the thorns And think of our bright class day . Alyce Heaney, ’31. CLASS COLORS Good as gold may we forever Keep our hearts along life’s way, While Truth’s golden sunbeam sever All the darkness from our day . May the green stand as a symbol Of our spirits strong and bold, While never in our memories lull The beauties of the green and gold. Jean Mug an, ’31. Page Ten
