HEHE ABE THE SEE E5 fl I1 PLACES First year days flew by in a brace of new living as high school days found us ready to adopt ourselves to the increased tempo of school life. Activities seem to fill the air at St. X as study was the accepted fashion of the day. Anxiously we checked the honor rollg eagerly we looked for holidays. Our friendships grew as other parishes became familiar to us. We watched thrillingly the Tiger tearns do loattle on the sports field, as we grew hoarse with cheering. We were growing up with school and having a glorious tirne. School's out! School's out! C'mon men. let's not pout! Freshmen after a busy day of problems, sentences, and discipline give vent to their pent up energies in a mad rush to leave the school grounds. So, if you should happen to pass by Freshman Hall shortly be- fore 2.30 p.m., watch out! The change between classes comes as a much needed rest for the boys in Freshman Hall. An hour oi algebra, Latin or sci- ence is enough for any Freshman. The boys in the next class had a tes in Latin. and now there is a chance to find out the more difficult questions. li there is enough time, you will check your book to iind out the answers. too. and hope that your test is the same one!

So saying, Brother Timothy's 1D homeroom class set an all-time record in Fall Festival sales for any one class. reaching the phenomenal total oi over 51000. These spirited salesmen easily lead the rest of the school, and upheld the treshman tradition ot selling the most chances. The next three years look very bright for the Champion- ship Swimming team. The bulk of the reserves and aces oi the Tankmen are in the Freshman class. The two repre- sented here are. Richard Cambron, and the mighty mite . Tommy O'Toole. Both of these lads are medal winners in their tirst year competition.
