'ygfgkf nitas Q-gbgaigrg '-HY' 'H Looking Forward For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the visions of the world and the wonders that would be- ----------------1n the new school. Settled in the misty vale of the future and surrounded by every convenience of my imaginative fancy was the new school. Often did I while away an idle hour with rosy visions of a new Alma Mater. Now my dreams are realized. The ful- fillment of my hopes and longings is Trinity High School. 1 am now a junior. The new school seems to have come as a reward for the three years I have spent in the old. Those three years have seen my visions em- bodied in brick and stone. During my freshman year Trinity was a thoughtg :luring my sophomore year it was a wordg now, at length, in my junior year it is a reality. Resplendent in all the glory of its youthful newness it stands as a monu- ment to the energy and foresight of a noble priest and a progressive people. It awaits only the life-giving breath of Saint Mary's spirit to make it the ideal of our ideals. JUANITA MCGRAW, '29 As I see that great edifice of brick and stone known as Trinity High School rising daily across the street, I find myself with no clear impression of what I am really looking forward to when I shall enter it in September. It is certainly not new teachers nor new subjects. I do not think the teachers could be improved by any system of substitution, and the one year which I shall spend there will not giveme an opportunity to begin new, untried subjects. I did that in my freshman year. Of course, I shall enjoy the comforts and facilities of a modern building and I hope to find the old school rejuvenated in the new. St. Mary's High School is being transported to a new building. Although her name will be changed, she must remain the old St. Mary's we knew and loved. As in all moving jobs certain things will be broken, certain customs lost, but we believe and hope that they will be replaced in a far more wonderful way at Trinity. The first object of every member of our class should be to see that we do not break, in moving, those things which former classes have struggled to build up. The class of 1929 will have the special and important duty of substituting in the minds of friends and admirers the name Trinity High School for Saint Mary's. It will be our duty to keep up the old ideals and the good things of Saint Mary's while by a process of assimilation younger students are absorbing the new and better innovations of Trinity High. We must stand for the spirit of the old while they are adapting themselves to the new. Our alumni have built up a magnificent and abiding school spirit. We must maintain it when Saint Mary's is Trinity High School. To see this accomplished before June, 1929, is about the only thing to which I am looking forward. THOMAS Moons, '29.

,-gi pp I I T, n 1' ids iv., - f. I Being somewhat of a futurist, 1 iind it difficult to pick out any one thing as 3 l the sole object of my expectancy and interest in the new school. I am looking I i forward to everything. I do know, however, that I am not solely interested in the i 5 big things, like the assembly, gymnasium, library, and laboratories. Their merits stand out so clearly that they are already acknowledged. Far more fascinating to , . , me are the little things, the every-day activities, each destined to form a separate . -- p spoke in the whirling wheel of Trinity High School life. One year is too short a time for any radical change, and St. Mary's spirit is gl: ,Q too firmly implanted in our hearts to be uprooted by a trip across the street, even ff Q, though it thereby becomes Trinity spirit. 1 have no fear, but only joyful an- lf Q ticipation regarding the continuation of athletics and the other major activities in the new Trinity High. just as the rest of the students rejoice in the inspiring l A pep meetings and social gatherings in the spacious assembly, so, too, shall I rejoice. if ill just as they thrill to the clean-cut athletics in the great gymnasium, even so shall -,', I thrill. But for the minor activities there is at times a tinge of anxiety in my ' , 5 eagerness. It has often been said that the little things are what really count. Will ll, H the feeling of loyalty and devotion among the students, caused by such close asso- if ,QI ciation at St. Mary's, dwindle when it is introduced into the larger classes? Will 'ill the every day occurrences which now mean so much to each of us, lose their appeal if I3 when compared with the more complicated enterprises of a larger student body? Q IE' Reassurance comes to me, however, for if I know my classmates as well as I think I 1 do, my questions are already answered. I am sure they all wish to make our i 5, first year in the new building a fulfillment of all our anticipations, and have gi f , I Q already resolved, as I have, to do their utmost to carry on at Trinity High the EQ, 'I unrivalled school life so gloriously instituted at St. Mary's. 1 P 'i . p LOUISE MCCLELLAND, '29, .31 fi , ' L3 l Blue. and White li nj q Blue and White-Saint Mary's colors- It Banner of Our Lady's love, it We shall carry it to honor Mill , Mary, Queen of Heaven above. if , Proud are we that she has chosen Us to bear her standard true, .al 5 Glad that we by her are favored it 3 To protect her white and blue. if ff We will hold it for our standard, fl ii We, the knights who praise her name, 4 l We will keep it pure and spotless JE, 2 So to praise Our Lady's fame.
