19 56 Pelican Published by THE SENIOR CLASS of SAINT JAMES HIGH SCHOOL Elm Street Newark, New Jersey DEDICATION With deepest sincerity and appreciation we, the Senior Class of 1958, dedicate this yearbook to Sister Mary Sheila. We will remember forever an individual who personifies gentleness and kindness—one who never hesitates to offer a few moments of precious time to help some student solve his smallest problem—always an inspiration in religious as well as extra curricular activities—ever willing to co-operate in all that we set out to achieve. When we leave St. James, we will carry in our hands our diplomas and in our hearts the memory of a dynamic personality, Sister Sheila—our eternal friend, to whom we dedicate this 1958 Pelican. IN MEMORIAM His friendly smile, gentle ways, and thoughtful consideration for others leave behind a memory of Joseph Scelfo that can never be eradicated. As time passes, we miss Joe more and remember more about him. In class he worked quietly and intelligently, a steady influence on us. His inability to play basketball did not stop him from athletic participation. Instead, as manager of the team, he appeared at every game with his scoreboard under his arm. At parties and dances he showed his usual good humor and always joined in the fun. His frequent attendance at Mass and reception of Holy Communion inspired us all. He was not dramatically heroic. He lived a simple, average life as we are living now. But whatever he did he did well. He wasted no time because his time was short. Joe’s absence can never be replaced, and the memory of him will live forever in the hearts of the Class of 1958. His LAT.

Her patience with us, her constant trust in us, her understanding of us, and her kindness as well as devotion to us, made her more than just an advisor and teacher but a respected friend. The perfect example she set by her dignified and gracious manner was a constant reminder of our duties toward both God and country. We hold dear all the ideals and principles which she has fostered in our minds and hearts. Thus it is that we wish to express sincerely our gratitude and appre- ciation to Sister Ann, our senior moderator. We, the Senior Class, have chosen as our theme, Saint James Church, which has been to us a constant source of inspiration during the years we have spent here. Remembering mid-term and final examinations, we recall the many “quick” visits we made in front of the Tabernacle. On the day of an important game, it was not unusual to see the boys on the team hearing Mass and receiving Holy Communion, asking God to either allow them to win or enable them to lose well. As report cards went out, we recognized quite a few students at Our Lady’s altar during lunch hour, eagerly awaiting a miracle that would save the day and their allowance. All the Communions, First Friday Masses, retreats, and visits we made to St. James Church, plus the wonderful training we obtained in school, have enabled us to reach the position we are now in, that of Seniors nearing Commencement.
