unior Sunned and studious junior B returned to classes on Sep- tember 5, with the addition of jane Keough, Mary jim Gratiaa, and Catherine Nelson to the former number. Class elections were held, in which vice president Pat O'Rourke and secertary Dolores Ryan were chosen from our section. Representing our class in the student council were Elinor Schreiner and lane Keough. Our class gave active representatives to the Legion of Mary, the varsity and corps basketball teams, the riding, bowling, and sub-deb clubs, and the swimming team. First semester exams were followed by a welcomed re- treat in which juniors laid aside their books, and turned full attention to God. Several juniors starred in the annual Horse Show, taking first honors in numerous events. The highlight of a junior's year, the Prom, was held at Norwood Hills Country Club on May 10, resulting in a happy success for both seniors and juniors. Marie Mathews was chosen as our maid in one of the most beautiful May Days St. Ioseph's Academy has ever seen. Removing our thinking caps after final exams we bid fare- well to fellow juniors and final farewell to departing seniors. The same expression may be found on the lips of every junior - Hasn't this been a wonderful year?

So, our first duty as the members of Iunior A was the election of our class officers. Margaret Bocklage was our capable president, and Shirley DuBois our much-needed secretary. Representing our room in school activities were Sue Ker- nell and Mary Lou Belz, our active student council members: Frances Foster, our mission representative, and Mary Regina Birdsall, our mission collector. Officers in Our l..ady's Sodality were Ioyce Bindbeutel and Marilyn Miller, and members of the varsity basketball team were included from among our class. Then, too, Iunior A was active in the annual Spring Horse Show, as well as the rest of the school-sponsored events which took place during the year. Of course, our rnain goal was to give the seniors a prom they'd never forget, and our main problem was the raising of money for this evening. To accomplish this, we held numer- ous cake sales and raffles. We were successsful, indeed, for the Norwood Country Club, on May lU, was the scene of our long-awaited prom. For May Day we selected Teresa Brady as our May maid, for one of the most beautiful ceremonies of the year. This month of Iune finds our looking back on the past year with happiness and looking forward to the next with anticipa- tion. For we are now seniors. Page Twenty-Six

We elected as class officers Mary Ann Goodwin, president, and Claire Burke, secretary, and our place in the Missions was capably filled by lean Ander- son. We performed the traditional duty of sophomores by initiating the freshmen. Afterwards refreshments were servedy some of the frosh needed them, too. Retreat found the sophomores quietly and solemnly listen- inq to those interesting conferences qiven by our retreat master, Father McShane. On May Day, Ioan Debrecht was our repre- sentative as maid. Mary Catherine Dolan, Marqie Berqin, Sue Bolhofner, Ioan Casey, cmd Claire Burke are members of the up and coming corps team. We are very proud of Mary Ann Combs, who was the only sophomore on the varsity this year, as well as of Claire Burke, who won first place on the begin- ners' sinqles in the annual Horse Show. This is but a brief sketch of our busy and full year as Sophomore A. Be looking for us next year when you will see us at our best as juniors of S. I. A. Page Twenty-Eight
