TWT? -R ossi I A'VaIens et Volensf' What a noble aim! The sophomores have chosen it for their own. What, you might ask, is the sign-ificance of these words? They stand fior the ability and loyalty of the sophs. This class has tried fro- be able and willing in performing every duty and fulfilling every request that has been made by the faculty. The sophs feel that they have chosen a motto that is worth while and is good, and realize that upon reaching that aim, they will be worthy to bear the name of true students -of St. Wendelin's high school. On the same day on which the motto was selected, a class flower was voted for. The beautiful tea rose was decided upon. This flower, the fairest of them all, will aid in forming our character to be as perfect as the flower itself. Armed with this emblem, and worthy aim, the sophomores will attainfsuc- cess. Helen Flechmer and Dorothy Jacoby '31, Do not let the 'Summer Study Bogey get youf We are apt to get the inept idea that because a large number of schools close during the summer period, study was never m-eant for that time. .What is the truth about this? Let us .see how this tradition became es- tablished. Back in the early ages when man depended wholly upon the soil for a live- lihood, believing he had to 'imake hay while the sun shines, he crowded all the work into these months. Thus it was during the fall and winter seasons that he obtained his schooling. We have need for lots of fun and iexercise this vacation. But we should not waste our time on things not worth while. Sophomores, we have but two years before we 'must determine our life work. This vacation is the opportune time to develop that spirit of ambition which will later raise us to success. A'For he who will do only one thing better than any man can do it, he is a success. Watch out for the Bogey, Edna Heftel '3l. TuJ2ntufEigh!

Every pupil of the grades looks forward with eager anticipation to the mys- teries of high school life. The class of '32 was no exception but when they did enter the portals of Uthe school across the street, they found there an atmos- phere which they had never known before or even dreamed of. The chief rule seemed to be, On your honor. It was rather difficult at first to get accus- tomed to the regulations and rigors of high school. All was precision. New studies, new books, new rules it seemed like, and it was a new beginning. Then came initiation, the greatest mystery of all. through whch freshies be- came true members of the high school. The first six weeks, which are reputed to be the hardest, were past. Then in January came the tests. How different they were from the tests of grade school daysl Why, if a pupil worked hard enough he might even be exempted from them. Now the freshman year is ended and the class of '32 will pass on to the sophomore room. To the outside world this is but the passage of another freshman class. But to the freshmen it means a great change has been made in their lives, a great crisis has been reached, and from young boys and girls they have been changed to young men and women, preparing to fight the battle of life.
