535213573 rw Twsi A FRESHMAN LOOKS AHEAD! One summer evening my friend and I walked out the beautiful street of Nor ,h County Line. Behold! What did we see? I rubbed my eyes, which seenied to be deceiving me. I asked my pal what that massive white stone struc- ture was, standing so majestically against the evening sky. He informed me it was St. Wendelin's new high school. He went on to tell me that by the un- tiring efforts of Father Weber, Father O'Connor and Father Duffy it was made poss ble: also of the cooperation of the people of St.-thud!-ouch!!-my head! Gee, I must have been dreaming. It sure was a happy dream. I hope it will come :rue in the near future. Paul Arnoldi' '32. ONE FOR ALL Has it ever occured to ycu how much a class and a human being are alike? Each has a body and a soul. The soul of the class is its spirit. The spiritless class may be compared to the lifeless matter which composes the human body aftef the spirit has left it. Just as the human body decomposes after death, so does the class after its spirit has left it. The only way in which these two bodies real'y .liffer is that the human body has a soul which is both indivisible and spiritual, while the spirit of the class depends upon each individual in the class for its unity. It has been truly said that the spirit of the class depends upon each and every student in the class. So, also does the spirit of the school depend upon the spirit of each class in it. The school may be large or small but with- out :lass-spirit it can never be a real school. The school spirit as well as the clasr spirit should be: All for one: one for all and all for the school we love. Vvfe, the freshmen of St. Wendelin's, realize this and shall try to do all and ever more than can rightfully be expected of us as members of the great St. Wec delin high, remembering those famous and historical Words: United we starii: divided we fall. Chester Lynn '32. DISCOVERY As a freshman progresses in the school year, he finds his view-point inev- itably changing. Gradually it comes to him that self is not an important factor con: dered in view of the welfare of the class. He must merge his own personal desi.es into the common good of all. He finds that he must make sacrifices-his own sense of self-importance, of plans that appeal to him or his own private asp. ations that are at variance with the views of his classmates. Youth takes its disappointments deeply to heart and some of them only Tir. e can erase. But if one has the knoweldge, that by depriving himself of a sing e factor, that he considered necessary to his happiness, he has benefitted the ntire class, he can find much consolation in the thought. I One's freshman year is a sort of trial. The pupil is discovering for himself jus where he fits into the general scheme of things. He is finding out if he is cap ale of making the sacrifices, of measuring up to the high standards set by the chool. Atvthe same time, his superiors are judging him, weighing him in the walance, testing him to see if he really will measure up! Margaret E. Baker '32. Thirty-Two
