The oak is an excellent example of progress. It is the fruit of a small acorn which was. perhaps, dropped carelessly by the way side. Hut does it not in time Income the reigning tree in the forest ? Such has been the progress of our school. Even though, we cannot in truth say that our parents suffered hardships, still, they had not the modern conveniences which are enjoyed by the pupils of today. They attended smaller schools and many walked a great distance before reaching them. It is due to the untiring efforts of our pastor and teachers that St. Mary's School is at its present standing. In 1007, the cornerstone was placed in the school and during that year the first pupils assembled in the well equipped rooms desirous to acquire knowledge. It was a question whether or not the school would be a success, but as the years passed the school greatly improved, the classes became larger until today our school is one of lofty mien. Several years later a High School was estab- lished and St. Mary’s School found many eager students ready to avail themselves of the opportunity for higher learning. Progress should Ik an essential in our lives even though it be slow, therefore we hope to follow in the footsteps of our predecessors by becoming men and women mighty in “word and deed”.

Foist ffl ow rare the beauty of the day—one of those indescribable days when everything spoke of joyful expectancy. The birds twittered lazily on the drooping boughs silvered by the reflected rays of the sun. Twenty-four happy children crossed the threshold of St. Mary’s High School whose very portals seemed to breathe a gracious welcome to these victors who. having persevered eight years along the rugged road of knowledge, were now worthy to take upon themselves the oft ridiculed title of “Freshies”. As “Freshies” we were taught to lie seen and not too often heard. Our privileges, though limited, helped us to develop great consideration for “Freshies” of future years. As the season progressed the boys were coached in basketball, but because they were freshies they were not permitted to play in the public games. The girls were privileged to stage minor entertainments and under the espionage of a chaperon (?) pay admission fee to the games. The much dreaded Washington examinations brought our first year to a close. Let us hope by experience, wiser and more dignified, we were prepared to don the title of Sophomores the following September. As we entered the now familiar building, a new face more serious and reflective, sat in the place of her whom we had long cherished. For awhile our spirits were somewhat dampened but resigning ourselves to the inevitable we made the best of our circumstances and started forth on the second year of High School experience. Our numbers were somewhat depleted—nine less than the preceding year but nothing daunted we ever kept before us our motto “To Conquer All”. One outstanding event of the year was the fact that our team played many games with the Class of ’29 ami by the end of the season we were declared the victors. Our third year was made memorable by the fact that our school which had been affiliated with the Catholic University at Washington was also affiliated with the State, a privilege which benefited many of our graduates of 29, who wished to go to institutions of higher learning or enter professions. Another noteworthy event was the publication of our first Year Book, “The Oak”, by the Class of ’29. Two more of our number fell out of the ranks thus diminishing our number to eleven—Francis Keffer went to Staten Island to resume higher studies and Loretta Top| er went in training to St. Joseph's Hospital, Philadelphia. If we felt useless as Freshies we are not suffering from the same com- plaint now. So much has been crowded into this year that it would require a volume to tell all. One new feature was Interscholastic Debates. Our first interscholastic debate being between St. Mary’s, York and our own Alma Mater. The con- testants on the Affirmative side were: Eugene Smith, Vera Belz, and Earl Noel while the Negative side was upheld by: Elizabeth Wagaman. Helen Colgan and Ralph Foist. Only too quickly have our High School days terminated. We cannot but feel regret as we sever the protecting bonds that have acted as a guiding principle in our lives.

With the organization of the team well under way. we learned that the services of two former stars would not Is available, those of Francis and Karl— one because of his attending Mt. St. Ilita's to take up higher studies; the other not because of unwillingness, but just recuperation from an operation, with Doctor’s Instructions not to take part in this s|K rt. The time for our first game arrived, December 11th. We motored to York to play the St. Mary's School team of that city. This was one of the hardest fought games of the season, for an extra five minute i eriod was required to decide the winner. When the final whistle blew a score of lb was hanging above our 18.

VOLUME 1 NOUVELLE DE LA CLASSE 1930 EDISON WON Seniors Distinguish Themselves In Debate TRIP TO WASHINGTON On June 6, 1929, mem- bers of St. Mary’s High School motored to Wash- ington where they spent the day viewing places of in- terest. Among the important buildings they visited were the Capital, where they were fortunate enough to see the House of Repre- sentatives in session; Union Station; Smithsonian Insti- tute and the Congressional Library. They also went to the Monastery, which at the time was surrounded by beds of beautiful flowers. Those in the party were the Sisters of St. Mary’s School, the Seniors and Juniors. Lunch and trans- portation were provided by the Juniors. SENATOR TRIUMPHS Wash., D. C., Nov. 13.— Noel, Senator from Penn- sylvania, has succeeded in passing the Noel Bill for the Suppression of Lobby- ists. Great opposition was offered in the House of Representatives, but his logical reasons triumphed and it finally passed both Houses Noel’s winning speech was “No more sugar’’. On Jan. 29, 1929, the pupils and Sisters of St Mary’s School were sum- moned to the auditorium to witness the first public debate that was ever held by the High School pupils The question debated was whether or not Edison has done more for the world than Henry Ford. The combatants were Helen Colgan and Elizabeth Wagaman opposed by Ralph Poist and Earl Noel. Although the female de- bators proved to be the ORGANIST ON AIR New York, June 3.— Thursday evening.

Owing to the fact that this was the first of its nature and to the manner in which it was conducted much may be said in their favor. Eugene Smith proved himself a capable chairman. The Sisters acted as judges and we feel sure that they were at odds to know how they should vote, for both sides were well prepared and equally well delivered. EMPLOYEES GO ON STRIKE York, Pa., Feb. 12.— Seventy-five employees of the Browning Construction Co. led by Karl J. Smith went on a strike early to- day. Their aim is more money and less work. Under the direction of this able leader, they hope to attain their end. Just what action their employer will take is not known, but “Public Opinion ’ favors Smith. 23 ►- PAGE 2 NOUVELLE DE LA CLASSE MEDICAL STUDENT WINS SCHOLARSHIP Balt., Md., July 8.— Thomas A.

This Chicago ‘Sob-Sister’ has gained fame by her bravery. In trying to get the low-down on Labrezo’s Gang, she was captured and held prisoner by them for three days and three nights.

Gladys was driving along when all of a sudden she spied the men climbing the telephone poles. Turning to her much perturbed parent, who sat at her right, she said “Why dad, look at those fools! They must think I never drove an automobile before.” - Sf 24 )3- NOUVELLE DE LA CLASSE PAGE 3 DENNY’S CAREER by Helen E. Colgan June, the month of joy- ous expectation, had come. The longed-for dreams of graduation would soon be realized at St. John’s Col- lege. As was customary, the annual “After Exams Dance’’ was in full swing. Balloons, confetti, laughter, happy faces and uninter- rupted gaity reigned. Jack Renier, tall, blonde and athletic, gliding grace- fully with his partner through the crowded hall, recognized the strains of “Cryin’ for the Carolines’’, which at once brought to his mind his chum who sang this song so well. He gazed thoughtfully at his watch, and after a troubled glance among the dancers, did not find the object of his search. The dance ended, Jack led his friend to her seat, thanked her, and rather abruptly left the noisy hall, darted up the steps, hurried through the corridor and anxiously opened the door of Room 16. “What’s up, Denny—bad news? Look as if you’d lost your best friend’’. “Maybe I have’’, an- swered the dejected figure slouched in the corner of the room in the “buddy” chair. In contrast to the tux clad lad who had just entered, was Dennis O’Dea, Jr. His suit was wrinkled and untidy, yet one could not help but admire the black, curly, unkept hair which half hid his dark, distorted, yet undeniably handsome, face. Jack again addressed his surly room-mate as he tapped his shoulder in a friendly manner, “Cheer up. Kid, come down and dance”. “No. thanks. Jack, I’m leaving tonight for New York”. “You’re what”? “I’m through”. Noticing the questionable gaze of his friend, Denny said, “Here, read this letter I just wrote to Dad. Mail it tomorrow morning, but don’t tell any- one except the Professors where I am going”. His pal took the letter and read, Dear Dad— Prof. Stevens told me this morning that I flunked in my finals. After my mid- year failure, I tried to do better, but my music came first; it is my only career. Tell Mother and Elaine not to worry, I’ll be safe and will return when I have made good. Now, Dad. don’t think me unappreciative, I realize all you have done for me but I guess I was not destined to take over your business as you had planned, yet I promise I’ll try not to disgrace the family any more. Goodbye—Love—Denny “Pretty nice letter, couldn’t do much better, myself; but, Denny, you can’t go. You promised to sing at our banquet. What will they say to your leav- ing us cold”? “I’m sorry. Jack, but it’s necessary, can’t you under- stand? My only regret at leaving college is the loss of your companionship. Believe me, I never expect to find another Jack”. “Brace up, you just have the blues. Listen, they’re playing “St. James’ In- firmary”. “Well, I wish I was there”. “Oh, come on, your Dad wouldn’t object to your continuing music in Day- ton, would he”? Yes, Dad can see no other life for me but as Assistant Manager of D. R. O’Dea Co. Maybe Mother’s earlier stage experience has given me my love for music, but I know there is no other life for me”. “But, Gee Whiz, Denny, I hate to see you go”. “Hey, look at that clock! And my train is due in ten minutes. We surely had great times together, didn’t we. Jack”, said Denny as the two pals grabbed the suitcases and hastened to their Ford. Twenty minutes later a lonely Jack returned to College. He entered the room, looking longingly at the familiar objects which they had shared during four glorious years of com- panionship. Slowly opening the note that his partner had placed in his hand when the train left, he read, Dear Jack— I hereby will my half of the “Flivver”, and my brass collar buttons to you, my real pal.—Denny. “The same old boy”.

Since childhood days, John Albright and Charles Sterling had been chums. Both attended the same school, enjoyed the same sports, shared the same sorrows. In fact, so united were their interests that they seemed to have but one heart and one soul. After graduation they attended rival schools. This was the first, but not the only link which threatened to sever the golden chain of friendship. The other was a charming bit of femininity who had shared all their childish joys and sorrows. A girl whose very presence seemed to radiate happi- ness, yet there was an in- definable something, a bar- rier which neither boy could seem to pentrate. Each had endeavored to extract a promise of future happiness but her only re- sponse was: “Time will tell”. On the morrow the Inter- scholastic Meet between the rival colleges was to take place, and Gloria had promised to decide between the two and give them her answer after the race. After all preliminaries for the game had been arranged, Charles wended his way home, thinking, hoping, fearing, perfectly oblivious of everything around him, wondering what the morrow would bring, when suddenly he felt himself rudely pushed aside. Coming to himself he realized that only the great presence of mind of his chum had saved him from being killed. In a great burst of gratitude he clasped the hand of his friend and said, “No sacri- fice, John, will be too great for me to make, to prove my appreciation f your bravery”. Fatal words. An exultant look crossed John’s face — grasping Charles’ hands in his, he fairly gasped, “Are you in earnest. Old Pal”? “Surely”, said Charles. “Well, it is a true test of your loyalty, Charles, the only thing I wish is to win tomorrow’s race. Could you become suddenly indis- posed, break an arm or— That night John took i Gloria to a dance where they spent the evening in merriment while Charles remained at home, too weak and nervous after the pre- vious excitement to go any- where. “Mother, I feel very un- easy about the race”, said Charles. “John saved my life and I feel I owe him something”. “Don’t worry, my boy, everything will turn out alright”. “Let’s hope it does, I , guess you know best”. His night was sleepless; he worried; tried to decide what he was to do. Whether he was to play the part of a loyal friend or a slacker and a disgrace to his school. Morning came only to find Charles a pale, nervous . LOST AND FOUND Found — Karl Smith erasing the boards in the commercial room.

He went to school but felt like resting instead of racing. “Good afternoon, Mr. Bayer, a fine day for our Meet”. “Yes, but look here, Charles! What is the mat- ter with you”? “Oh, I’m alright, just a little excited, I guess”. Continued on page 27 -«t ►- NOUVELLE DE LA CLASSE PAGE 5 LOYALTY Continued from page 26 “Do your best, and I'll see you later”. “Hello, Charles”, said Gloria, as she walked across the school grounds toward the track. “Hello, Gloria, you look wonderful this afternoon”, said Charles as he walked toward her. “Gee, I hope I can win the race. It will be the greatest day of my life if I do”. “EVERYBODY READY FOR THE TRACK”. “I’ll have to go now, see you after the race. Charles and John raced side by side. “Well, Charles, do I win”? said John as they started. “Time will tell, John”. Every step Charles took seemed to make it impos- sible for him to take an- other. Charles and John kept side by side, neither having the advantage, and it was still an open question which would win. As they passed the second quarter, Charles found John was gaining but he did not give up. Mrs. Sterling and Gloria Berns were among those who watched the racers with the most intense in- terest. “Who do you want to win”? said Mrs. Sterling to Gloria. “That is just what I was thinking about, I promised to decide between your son and John Albright and give them my answer after the race”. So went the conversation between Gloria and Mrs. Sterling as the boys passed the third quarter. A fear- ful pain wrenched Charles’ body and for the second time the boys parted. Charles’ head whirled, his legs sagged; everything turned black as he stumbled and fell to the ground. As he fell he thought of his school, his mother, who he knew was praying for him, and Gloria. If John won, everything would be his. A supernatural strength seemed to force him to his feet, he raced forward with a determination to reach the goal. John raced on, joy filled his heart for he felt sure of victory; but to his astonish- ment he found Charles rac- ing after, closer, still closer. Just as they reached the goal Charles made one leap to victory and col- lapsed on the goal line. When he awoke he found himself in a neat white bed in St. Joseph’s Hospital. “Charles”, said Mrs. Sterling. “Where am I”? Did I win”? “Yes, Charles, you won”. After his departure from the hospital he spent several weeks at a resort. In the meantime there were dinners, dances, and motoring parties in which John and Gloria were the center of attraction. Rumers of their engagement reached the ears of Charles, soon after his return home. He waited day after day for John and Gloria to come to see him. No one came. Then one day the professor came in. “Interscholastic Meets surely have a bad effect on you, Charles”. “No one will ever know how I have suffered for my loyalty. What did I get? I lost my health, I lost the girl I love, my friends de- sert me. I suppose John thought I should have left him win as he asked me to do”. “Did John ask you to let him win”? “Yes before the race he saved me from being run over by an automobile. I said I would do anything in appreciation, so he asked me to let him win”. Gloria, who had been standing in the hall with Mrs. Sterling heard the whole story. “Charles, is what you said true”? “Certainly, Gloria, why do you ask”? Mrs. Sterling and Mr. Bayer seeing they were not wanted went out to the veranda. “John — John has been unloyal. He has double- crossed you. Oh, Charles, I can’t say how glad I am that I found this out before it was too late”. “Too late”. “Too late”. “Yes, too late. Charles, it’s you I love and not John”. “Gloria”. VAUDEVILLE Phil� ..

The announcer was speak- ing. “Tonight begins a series of weekly broadcasts featuring “Denny’s Bud- dies”, an orchestra which has within the past few months gained renown through the crooning voice of its youthful director, Dennis O’Dea. The two listeners looked at each other, startled and unbelieving. “The first number will be a saxophone solo by Jack Renier, who requested us to announce that he is wearing brass c o l‘l a r buttons. The proud parents glanced knowingly at each other as the next number was heard, “Denny will now sing his theme song, an old favorite, which he dedi- cates to his father and mother in Dayton, Ohio, “What’s the Matter With Father, He’s Alright”. THE EXPLOSION The Juniors think they know it all, But their pride took a terrible fall. Combine, zinc and H. C. L. Light with a match — let Justin tell.

The Freshies got teasing enough I trust To pay for what the Soph's gave us. Each boy to sjiorts now turned his head. The girls in other i� aths were lead. With success we passed our second year To enter the third we did not fear. Step hack you Sophs! we’re Juniors now, Itight through our studies new we’ll plow. The boys fought again in basketball.

M. II. S. with earnest intentions of beginning their High School career. The. difficulties which first year work pre- sented were soon conquered with the help of our teacher. When school dosed in .Tune, we felt that our attempts had met with success and that we were ready for Second Year. When school reopened in September after a pleasant vacation, we found that our number had diminished to twenty-three. During the past few months two more of our class-mates left us. We all made a firm resolve to accomplish great things in our Sophomore Year. When the problems of Second Year arose, we made desperate attempts to conquer them, and we feel that we owe much to our teacher who spurred us on when we felt discouraged, and whoso untiring efforts have help d us to complete our Sophomore Year with flourishing success. Tims we are ready to l egin our Junior Year, and we hope to be able to accomplish even greater things then. 39 The OPEN DOOR- and life that waits before, and those that climbed the Hill, must now go down where the world waits them in each seething town:— and yet, next Spring the Hill will bloom as green with the Youth that comes and the memories that have been. «5{ 40 ) — THE FRESHMAN CLASS Jfresfjman Class Class (Officers Presiden t Angela Smith Vice-president Edith Colgan Historian Paul Long Secretary Robert Weller Treasurer Nelson Topper Class iflotto t{Learning by study must be iron, ’Tiras ne'er entailed from sire to son. 2)istorj of tfje Class of ’33 f—1 in September third, nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, forty-six students, eager to acquire fresh knowledge, assembled in the Freshman classroom of S. M. H. S. and resolved to uphold and possibly even to surpass the records set up by the preceding classes. The Freshmen class consisted of students of the surrounding counties who soon became accustomed to the curriculum and acquainted with the studies which at first seemed very strange. Everyone was willing to do his and her very best in French. Mathematics, Stenography. Typing and other subjects. As time went on. and we became more familiar with the High School courses, we progressed rapidly. In athletics, material was not wanting. Some of the Freshmen liesides having their own basketball team, were put on the “Varsity team. Various social affairs were held during the year, including a Valentine Party which all enjoyed. The Class Officers were elected as follows: President. Angela Smith: Vice-president, Edith Colgan; Secretary. Roliert Weller; Treasurer, Nelson Topper; Historian, Paul Long. In February came the mid year Exams, in which all met with success. The Class is now looking forward to the last but not least, the final examinations. Although the Class of ’33 has met with success in the First Year, still it has not yet reached its port, but we must keep in mind the slogan of Columbus: “On! Sail On!” We truly hope to reach port with a cargo to la proud of, then reload our ships and “Sail On! On!” through life. The Class of ’33 sincerely wish success to all succeeding Classes of S. M. H.
