22 the high school herald FOG What is beyond this veil of mist, That envelopes the narrow winding streets, 1 hat twist like gleaming ribbons of pavement, Washed clean by the glistening beads of moisture? What is beyond this veil of mist, As it rolls ov’r the land, And caressingly every part does kiss? Are there fairies in the bog, That nightly brew and mix thee, Fog? What is beyond this veil of mist? Do the witches oft’ times on Hallowe en night Fly through the sky and are never missed, Protected by this filmy veil of white? What is beyond this veil of mist? The night is fading and dawn turns to day. Farewell, friend fog, Be on thy way. Donald Bevilacqua ’45 TRIBUTE TO SUMMER Brown is the turf that gives thee peace In a world thou hast made so glad. Low is the vine embracing thee In her mourning that Phoebus bade. . Sweet is the tribute paid as now; Thy verdant shroud is turned to gold. And trees in their grief shalt bless thee; Autumn, his frosty wings unfolds. Brown is the turf that gives thee rest When winter upon us shall blow His icy breath that stills the brooks And is laden with whitest snow. Sweet are the memories treasured, dear; Nature glows with autumnal fire Till one day thou shalt live again, Thy challenge quenching Death’s desire. Someday I shall join thy retreat In that kingdom not far away To keep an eternal slumber; But thou .shalt rise another day. Evelyn Paganelli 45 CM Page

During the year one girl came, from Mount St. Joseph and three boys transferred from Cathedral. The class has held three meetings during the year. Lois Dowd was elected associate editor of the school paper. There were a few boys and girls from the class who participated in the Christmas play. The girls from the class who were on the cheering squad were Dorcas Smith, June Fitzpatrick, Helena Rouleau, and Esther Montemerlo. They proved very peppy and snappy and did a good job as cheer leaders. The success of both teams on the basketball squad was due partly to the hard work of the boys. The boys who were on the teams were Robert Sheehan, Richard O’Leary, Robert Price, George Gibson, Teddy Rendock, and William Rieliy. The class was not too well represented on the baseball team. Robert Sheehan was the only boy on the varsity team. William Rielly 47 FRESHMAN CLASS NEWS President . ..... John Shaughnessy Vice-President ... Robert Paganelli Secretary .

We gained two new members, but during the year ten pupils left us and our number now stands at forty-nine. Class officers were elected, and Edward Wezowicz was chosen as our repre¬ sentative to the Athletic Council in the latter part of September. John Shaughnessy was elected class editor for the Herald.” A Hallowe’en Social, given in honor of the Freshmen by the Senior Class in October, was enjoyed by all. The Freshman Class, under the direction of Miss Carroll, put on a program just before the Thanksgiving vacation, explaining the meaning of Thanksgiving Day, today and long ago. Freshmen also spoke and sang in a Christmas program under the direction of Miss Holbrook and Mrs. Allen. The Freshman Class has been well represented in the sports field, with class members taking part in each major sport. We hope that our next three years, here at school, will be as enjoyable as our first year has been. John Shaughnessy ’48 VO CM Page
