Il PLAY . .. D GHUW We had our lun too, There were the daily :zussions at lunch periodsg the big little dances in the Gym, the dances at the Madrid. The times when we had Pep rallies before a game with cr city schoolg it was at these games when the :student body rose as one and cheered until every man on the bench would have played a championship game to deserve the support ot The Gang . Prom the time we were Frosh we grew in height, in love for God and love ot Xavier. ln later years we'll remain loyal sons oi our school Saint Xavier High. Even though her hands were often full of cards and papers, Miss Lewis, Brother Climacus' secretary, would never hesi- tate to put them down to look up a record or type out a special bulletin. The loyalty oi the Band has been outstanding in the sports' program. ln victories and defeats, they have encouraged the team. Under Brother Edward Ioseph's enthusiastic guidance and led by colorful Doris lean Gramiq and Bert Clark, the wearers ot the green have written another chap- ter in Band History. 5 t if? 1 Tv' 4 A I ...se-.

WHEHE WE ST IIY, PH These four years have been long. These four years are past. We came into these halls green Freshmen, We leave these halls as Sen- iors. The time that passed was filled with much study, much prayer, and much fun. We often felt at our wits end over some Algebra problem or became confused with a Latin translation but we always had our Faith to fall back on. We got stuck and we prayed: we had the props knocked from under us and we prayed: when We were granted some favor, there was always the quiet refuge of the Chapel. School rallies stirred our hearts with loyalty and pride as we gathered to pay homage to our school and the teams who wore our colors. The old yard, the old gym. the stirring music-they were the dreams of yesteryear. Well we remember the hurried grape-vine whisper. the hopeful wondering of the classes by-passed. the anxious wondering as to features and speakers. Our hearts still thrill to the memories of the beauty of the Victory Song, and the thun- der of her cheers as St. X. went forth to battle with the foe.
