'7ai6wl'e Za aww, We Seniors pause on the threshold of Commencement to recall the happy years spent in St. Wendelin High School. Within the portals of this beautiful and well equipped building lingers many ld fond memory of those who have prayed for us and sacrificed themselves in unselfish service in order to impart invaluable knowledge, promote scholarship, and give us the guidance neces- sary for our future well being. To our beloved principal, Father Osterhage, we express our deepest grati- tude. A special privilege Father obtained for us was daily Holy Mass that we might begin the day with Christ, the Divine Teacher. Within our religion classes Father Osterhage has endeavored to instill a deep spirit of faith, and Christian principles that will be conducive to our temporal haplpiness and future glory. Father has in his kind, sympathetic way ministered to us as loyal pries't prudent counselor, and true friend. Although we pass from your daily vigilance, may we linger in the mem- ento of your Mass while your interest in us deepens as we barter on youth's highway. As alumni of St. Wendelin's may these seeds sown in our high school career produce new blossoms of Catholic action and leadership. To the other members of the faculty, Sister Mary Therese, Sister Mary Da- lene, Sister Mary Francella, Sister Mary Hadwig, Mr. Elmer Bache, Mrs. Floyd Kinnaman, Mrs. Clarence Kuhn, we express our sincerest appreciation for their untiring patience, loving interest, and special skill in imparting knowledge in their various fields. Although our vocations in life be such that they scatter us from coast to coast, there will always linger one great common bond-loyalty to our Alma Mater, our faculty, and those principles inculcated at St. Wendelin High.
