Our Holy Father Pope Pius XII dedicated this year in a particular way to Mary. He calls on all of us to observe it by special prayers and sacrifices for peoples suffering per- secution and to obtain true and lasting peace for the world. This rallying call to prayer may well mean the last chance for the whole world, including our own United States, to get on its knees and pray for a Uni- versal and Sincere Peace. Through sac- rifice we may help to atone for the grief we have caused the Immaculate Heart of Mary. With the world at such a cru- cial point, we Catholics should set the, good example. Only when Nations get on their knees H- only then - will we have real and lasting peace. The 1954 Marian Year may be our last chance. Let us fight for it! Let us storm heaven with our prayers and sacrifices! Mary Jo Ruminski '56 DEDICATION Under the Patronage of the Immaculate Conception we dedicate this issue of the PALLADIUM To our Chief Pastor Most Reverend John G. Bennett, D. D To our local Pastors Father Jerome Walski Father Leo Breitenbach Father Francis Niesen Monsignor John Dapp Monsignor Felix Seroczynski And to our Chaplain Father Leo Faurote gratefully invoking the continuance of Her Maternal Care and Protection on their behalf.

OUR LADY QF FATIMA STATUE During their Junior year, the Class of '54 donated this beautiful statue of Our Lady of Fatima to the school. We hope that it will be a memorial for many years in the halls of Saint Joseph Academy to inspire future S. J. A.ers and to deepen their love and devotion to Our Blessed Lady, reminding them of Her requests at Fatima. Have you noticed the new silver crown which has been added to the Statue lately? Oh, yes, isn't it beautiful! The students are very grateful to AnniBelle McCulley for donating the crown, which came from Portugal, to make our statue complete and more beautiful.

The sky was mid-night black decorated by stars resembling jewels and the light of the fire bugs was flickering on and off. Then I was alerted to the sound of crickets which were singing an opera which would last until dawn. The frogs were determined to exercise their vocal cords to make known their presence. The scent of new mown hay was in the air. All of this gave me a hint of the magic of a summer night.

Why, yes, I hear you say. But have you seen the Lily, The one to whom you pray? Her beauty is so lily-white, Her heart is like brightest gold, She is the Mother of our earth, ee This you have been told. She is the sign of beauty, Yet sorrow she must bear. You sin against Her Son By a simple, 1 don't care. Oh, Fragrant Lily of Holiness Please pray for me this day, So I may never fall aside In life's narrow way. Phyllis Bruno '55 CLASSES RELIGIQN ln our daily study of religion, we study our relationship with God, and the great gifts He has given us in our Catholic Faith, education, schools, teachers, nation, et cetera. We study, too, our obligations toward God, our neighbor and ourselves, both now and in our adult life. The various states of life, with their advantages and obligations, also get their share of atten- tion. Our faith brings us closer to our Creator and also closer to the Blessed Virgin Mary, His Mother. She is the Mediatrix between God and mankind. We on earth ask Mary to intercede for us with her Divine Son, and Mary does not deprive her children of favors nor does she disregard their pleas, We should love Jesus and His Mother above all else. Young girls, espe- cially, should model their lives after her virtue, humility, and love of prayer. All of us who have been blessed with the true Catholic Faith should be thankful, and remem- ber those who are not as fortunate as we. Pray that they may soon open their eyes to the true Faith, and that there may soon be true peace and unity in the world again. Joan Funke '54 nReaciing Maizetii A THE DICKENS STCRY Charles Dickens, first and foremost among the major Victorian nove- lists in time and in popularity, won the hearts of people of all classes and of all tastes and intellects almost as soon as he appeared in print. Through his charming novels and many eccentric friends, Mr. Pickwick, Sam Weller, Snodgrass, VVinkle, he gained immediate fame. He had the ability to create convincing characters, portraying them as real when fictituous. This was peculiar to Dicken's genius. or purpose, for he wrote not just to Dickens' novels have a point picture the age, but to correct it. He was not blind to the faults of his spoke out against them. A victim of at first hand the suffering and hard- age, political and social, and he the evils of child labor, he knew ship of the poor. David Copperfield is an introduction of a likeness of his father in the well-meaning but impractical Mr. Micawber, who land- ed in a debtor's prison. Dickens' novels appeared in serial form. Some were in periodicals, others in paper-bound editions. Later in life Dickens devoted much time to dramatic readings from his works. He was laid to rest in Poet's Corner in Westminister Abbey.

Insects have several facets to their eyes and they can see in several directions at the same time.

Gazing through the window I notice the old oak tree standing in the cold air looking as if it were shivering without its leaves, on this cold, bleak February day. Lined up side by side on the branches, a flock of starlings look as if they are going to school, too, I hear their chatter, and it sounds like they all want to recite at once. fMaybe it's recessjj Whoops, CI mean hurray!j there's the bell. Yes, sitting by the Window has its advantages. Patsy Ferry '56 This page sponsored by, EMGE PACKING CO., INC., Anderson, Ind. CHEMISTRY Most often when we think of chemistry, we think of an old, dusty room with shelves lining the walls with a disorderly array of bottles where a collector could lose himself. But this should not be so, for the modern chemist has his tools ready for immediate use. He has the most up-to-date materials and equipment. Although bisulfates, tetra- chlorides, nitrates and various other chemicals mean very little to us as we hear the names, they are present at all times in our food, our clothing, shelter and environment. The chemist's world is full of names and formulas that mean so very little to usg and yet, they are so very necessary that we could not exist without them. An excursion into a laboratory during certain processes, making sulfur dioxide for example, might tend to make us leave promptly, returning the laboratory to its owner. But not all things smell so terrible. You might look for a rotten egg, telling yourself it must have been there for days only to find the nauseating odor coming from a mixture of bottles and test tubes. This would be hydrogen sulfide. But to reach the brighter side we must see the beautiful colors which come from these evil-smelling substances. A real appreciation of chemistry awaits all of us. Wouldn't you like to come and uncork a funny-looking bottle some- time? A real pleasure is to seek the unknown by following the chemists in an experiment which could easily change our lives.

But come prepared to keep your head in critical situations, Yes, the crayfish can regenerate a Cheliped, and the Starfish, a ray, but say - did you ever find the ear of that fish? I wonder if hear- ing could take place through Osmosis? They say that is the way fish breathe. Well, since attendance at this class presupposes a natural interest in the processes of nature, there is only one way to find out - get dissecting pans, needles, scalpels and fish, and follow the methodical habit of solving a problem developed in our Biology Class.

She enjoys the opportunities of cultural development so necessary to increase appre- ciation for the higher, finer things of life. Music is her avenue to Heaven's Broadway. A MUSICAL HOLIDAY The Lafayette Diocesan National Catholic Music Educators Association Convention was held in Kokomo, Indiana, in November 1953. The purpose of the Convention was to increase interest and love for the best in Church music. At this convention a combined choir from St, Patrick's and St. Joan of Arc's Schools, Kokomo, and St. Joseph Academy sang the ordinary of the Solemn Mass. A select Schola from SJA rendered the Gregorian Proper of the Mass. Such comments as You deserve high praise for your excellent schola and The schola was superb, no flaw was to be heard - make every Choramarian justly proud. ,W CHORAMARIANS The Choramarians are an SJA choral group especially dedicated to our Blessed Mother. One of the highlights of the high school career of every student at SJA is to be known as a Choramarian, Along with the privilege of performing at programs on the campus, the choral group has also presented concerts in neighboring parishes. A great deal of concentrated practice and countless prayers have gone into the mold- ing of the Choramarians, but the enthusiastic reception of their audiences has greatly increased interest and devotion among its members. Thank you, Blessed Mother! MUSIC APPRECIATION You cannot love that which you do not know is a well known quotation, and this is one of the reasons why a course in Music Appreciation is offered at SJA. Beautiful music appeals to everyone but to fully understand its beauty and depth we must know its background. So, in this study we trace the history of melody, harmony, form, et cetera, and learn to know the basis of appreciation for all types of music. The Music Appreciation class is one of the best combinations of work and play to be found at St. Joseph's CANTATE DOMINO! To sing unto the Lord is considered the greatest of all the choral privileges at SJ A. The student body frequently participates in a sung mass and in other liturgical func- tions. They receive training in Gregorian chant, sacred polyphony, and in other ac- cepted forms of liturgical music. Each student realizes that if she cannot use her voice in praise of her Creator, she should not presume to use it to please creatures. The Music App. Class THEIR DAILY WATCH We're almost there, just up the lane now, said Judy. It seems Pat, Joan, Betty, and Judy had all missed the bus this morning and unfortunately had to Walk to school. Say, have you been making extra visits to the Blessed Virgin's shrine this month? asked Pat. Of course we should have made them all year since this year is specially dedicated to Mary. Yes, said Judy, We surely are fortunate to be able to visit her each day. 1've decided to make a special novena to her. Dear St. Joseph - here we come! call- ed Betty, Remember in March when everyone at home was sick, St. Joe really came in handy then - everyone seemed to get well all at once after the nineteenth of March. Well, they always say 'miracles never cease, ' laughed Pat. Our symbol of freedom, our reminder of peace, who was it that said that? asked Joan. Joan Funke, I suppose, teased Pat, Straight from her latest book, 'FICTION AND NO FACTS. ' Just a few more steps now, said Judy, Look, from here you can see the Flag, St. Joseph, and Mary's shrine, had you noticed that before ? I wonder just how many have? Their daily watch is over us.

Or do we idle and tarry Instead of answering, Star of the Sea. 3 Then close to you we must hover, With a smile and with a tear, To thank you, O Blessed Mother, With the Rosary - a prayer most dear.

The girls of the upper grades in the schools taught by our Sisters were in- vited to spend a day at the Academy, and these girls learned to look forward to the day long in advance. A picnic lunch, games, and enter- tainments were features of the day. In later years, the outdoor procession in which a statue of Our Lady is carried, ending with the Crowning, became the high point of the day. A Senior is chosen each year for the honor of crowning Our Lady. Last year Doris Koors had this honor. This year May Day will be on May 20, and Patricia Crawford has been elected to crown the statue of Our Lady. OUR CQVER The symbol on our cover is the emblem of the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin. It is made up of the Greek letters Chi Rho, often used as an abreviation for Christ and of a large M, for Mary. The joining of the two symbols shows the close relationships between Jesus and Mary, and that we should go to Jesus through Mary. To ,, , SQDALITY GE THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY Our Sodality, better known as The Children of Mary, has grown to have a deeper meaning to the girls of S. J. A. this year. We are all learn- ing that everything we do should have a more definite purpose, than to just get the task done. We all want our lives to portray our Heavenly Mother's. Our uniforms, even, fwhich by the way, aren't a bit bad at alll, are the colors of the Blessed Mother - blue and white. The blue, compared to our Lady's mantle, represents loyalty, The white, our Lady's gown, signifies purity. These are virtues for which all Mary's children are striving. Having been members of the Sodality for four years, we hope that we will be true children of Mary throughout our lives and always keep before our minds our motto: Ad Jesum Per Mariam, All for Jesus through Mary. Judy Bolinger '54 LEGICN CDE MARY During the year the members of the Legion of Mary have profited much from the study of St. Louis de Montfort's True Devotion to Mary. Learning to say the daily Rosary and the Catena and to perform their other duties in Mary, with Mary, through Mary, for Jesus. The duties of Legionaries this year include such things as visiting the sick and aged, and distributing Catholic literature in public places. Mary Louise Axente '54 RETREAT TIME Retreat, the time of spiritual renewal, was made January 25, 26, and 27th. Father Gregory Diebold, O. F. M., was our Retreat Master. He spoke on several topics of utmost interest to us all, and we feel that the fruit of the retreat will stay with us for a long time. CAMPUS QUEEN AND CCURT On February 15, Lorraine Wenning was crowned as Campus Queen of S. J, A. by Cathy Grime, a senior classmate. The crowning marked the annual Valentine Festival held at St. Joseph's. The students look forward to the celebration, and cast their votes which elect the Queen and Court. The Queen's attendants were: Senior attendant, Joan Funke: Junior attendant, Mary Jo Nashg Sophomore attendant, Ruthie Zimmererg Freshman attendant, Mary Connie Harris.

Dramatics play an important role in the activities of a St. Joseph's Academy student, During the year the girls have excellent opportunities to display their talents in the dramatic World. In the course of the year, a one act play, Angel Face, was presented by the resident students for Reverend Mother Gerard's feast day and again for the Alumni Tea. The Senior boarders wrote a skit, A Day In The Life Of Sister Madonna, in which all the resident students took part in honor of her feast day. Before Christmas vacation the Freshmen Class gave a play, A Retrieved Christmas, after which refreshments were served to the student body. Of course the highlight in the yearly dramatic circle at S. J. A. is the Senior Class play, The Message Of The Century, a Marian Year pro- duction given in May. Lauretta Turicchi '54 .www , .,,.-.-..W----,-..,.-...vw --vw..-..- ,V--..wt----W .. MY IDEA OF A PERFECT VACATION Why should I go on a vacation just because the neighbors do? Every year thousands of families pack their bags and away they go to Aunt Nora and Uncle Mark's house in the Ozarks, All of the 'kids' pile in the back seat, each clambering for a window. Before they leave, however, a dozen cans of PERK and PEEK dogfood are given to the neighbors to feed Spot. By the time the vacationers are home, they are all tired out and are in need of another rest. I? I would rather stay home. It is possible for me to sleep late, for one thing Cgood dealj. To enjoy the comforts of home without moving an inch, that's for me. It seems funny that every year people from New York come to Indiana and people from Indiana go to New York. The city dwellers, trying to avoid the hustle-bustle of everyday life, go to the country to hear the crickets. The countryfolk, wanting to get away from the quiet country, come to the city to hear the noise and see the glaring lights. The grass is always greener on the other feller's side. I think that You'll find your happiness lies, right under your eyes. Back in your own back yard. Patsy Ferry '56 SEN TINELS FOREVER They are always there Y those three guardians of Saint Joseph's. Our Blessed Mother, Saint Joseph, and the American flag e- symbol of our country to protect God's children in His school. Our Blessed Mother, whose shrine is on the east side of the campus, keeps constant vigil both day and night. God placed her here on our campus to be our Mother and to keep all harm from us. To assist Mary in her work is Saint Joseph, our patron. His out- stretched arm hovers over his children keeping them within God's grace. For years his marble statue has stood in front of the Academy, reminding us that he fulfills his duty as God's representative. We are confident that his help and love is always with us. Our democratic ideals. too, must be safeguarded and our American way of life must be guarded from tyranny and its evils, To remind us of our country's protection and of our duties, is the American flag. Its stars and stripes wave over Saint Joseph's grounds, showing all who come near, that we are loyal citizens of God's country, America. VVhen walking about the campus we raise our eyes to it, and with that we raise our hearts to God in thanks for our Democracy. Yes, we are confident that our school will never fall below the stand- ard of Christ. How can it when we have our spiritual Mother, Mary, our patron, Saint Joseph, and our American flag, all under God, as our perpetual sentinels.

On the front lawn, beautiful fluffy-white bushes drooping with their burden of snow, were miniatures of the tall sky-loving trees. It was a beautiful, dazzling spectacle. Unable to restrain ourselves we rushed out into this new blinding- white world. The frozen fingers of branches covered by their blanket of snow, reached out to embrace the Academy with its host of students playfully enjoying themselves. Wanting to remember this magnificant scene, we snapped a few shots here and there on the campus. The snowmen were some of the day-students and the boarders.
