Seniors have an informal chat with the Retreat Master, Rev. James G. McAvoy, C.M. ga,w How well we remember September 6, 1949: Our entrance into a new life: What would it be like??? Soon we found that we were etu- dente of SJES. Now we were dignified: We belonged to a high school. Now we were grown up: That is what we thought. But all too soon we found that we were only greenies. We didn't really belong to this new school at all! Then slowly, under the patient skill of our first faculty, we were guided in the ways of our new life. Finally, on October 10 we were thoroughly initiated into St. Joe- eph's High School. Oh, what a day that was! Old-fashioned maidens, cawboys, 01d King Cole, Mary with her little lamb, -'-styles from the 20's floated through the halls of SJHS on that most memorable initiation day! Early in January of that year, we chose Joseph Dunne, Charles Baker, Ronald Roeenwald Seniors leave for their memorable class trip to Washington and Mt. Vernon. A group of Seniors await the opening notes of Ave Maria , the theme song of the S.J.Prom of '53. As they entered the au- ditorium they walked up a gang plank through a hugh life-pre- server to find themselves on deck of a ship, complete with anchors, portholes and steering wheel. The masthead, a statue of the Blessed Mother towered over the orchestra on a wave- topped stage. and Margaret Rocks as our zealous class offi- cers. Our first retreat took place after the exams with Father Eustace McDonald as retreat master. Guided by Sister M. Virginia, we had a most successful freshman year. Summer sailed by and soon we found ourselves greeted by the smiling face of Sister Jose- phine, our second year homeroom teacher. Aewe look back on that year, we find we elected Ronald Roeenwald as our class president. When exams were over, we again entered with o p e n minds and contrite hearts into our second re- treat with Rev. James Toomey, C. M. as our re- treat-maeter. This year the' cheerleaders were under the direction of Margaret Kane and Saranna Miller, Captain and Co-ceptain. That year the school held its first King and Queen of Hearts Con- test.
