The girls are now practising for baseball. The first thing in the catalogue of duties was the preparation of the first edition of our school paper, The Spectator, which made its appearance in March and was considered an excellent production for the first attempt. Then came the good news that we were to have an annual, so the staff elected for The Spectator was retained, Virginia Harold being our editor and Mary Brennan our business manager. These girls chose their assistants. The name Sandal- phon was selected and all immediately set to work for the success of our first year book.

SANDALPHON Class History ELIZABETH IIINTERSCIIIED, FRANcEs STAUDT Graduates N SEl l'EMBER EIGIITH, 1922, Saint Joseph Academy first welcomed us as students--fifty of us, all new, timid and unsophisticated. As our class was unusually large it was necessary to make two sections after which division we were escorted to our respective rooms. Soon we settled down to a regular routine illlll were introduced to Latin and Algebra which at first were difficult. After a few weeks, however, we found they were not such stum- bling blocks as we had imagined. Then the Christmas season arrived, with its traditional play, which our class presented, and its welcome holidays. Several weeks after our return to school came the mid-year exams and having successfully passed these we re- smned our usual studies. ' Early in February, Mere Maria Julienne, Mother General of the Sis- ters of Notre Dame, honored us with a visit. During the musical program which was given on the eighth of February, in her honor, the Junior and Senior classes distinguished themselves by singing the Belgian national anthem. In the spring under the direction of Reverend Father Hartman, S.J., we made the Retreat which was the first for 111any of us. The next important event was the arrival of June and the beginning of the summer holidays which came to us as a grateful respite after months of school activities. Upon our return in September, a few of our last year's companions were missing, however, their places were soon taken by 116W ones and the regular routine of classes began. The proceeds of the first annual bazaar went to the building fund, and thus it came about that, in March of the following year, ground was broken for a larger and more modern building. The annual Retreat was given in 1924, by Reverend Father James Preuss, S.J. A few weeks later the masque, Pageant of Youth, was presented at Memorial llall, by Sa.i11t Joseph Academy and its 111any friends. It was the most remarkable affair ever put on by any school in Columbus and played four performances. It was really beautiful, and as successful as it was magnificent. Shortly afterwards we completed our second year. NVc returned to the Academy fully conscious of the honor which we en- joyed as under-graduates. The most important event of the year was our mov- ing into the new building 'during the Christmas holidays. Although we enter- tained fond memories of good times in the old building, still the ample class- rooms, the many co11ve11iences, the efficient cafeteria service, etc., which the old building lacked quite compensated for any regrets we may have had. Reverend Father Rielag, S.J., was our retreat master in the Junior Year and gave us a most interesting and beneficial retreat. The Cantata Esther , by the pupils of the school, in the spring of 1925, was the first big production in our new assembly hall. Later came the J unior-Senior dance, which also took place in the assembly hall, on the twelfth of June. All present enjoyed them- selves immensely and pronounced the affair a social success. After vacation, with its host of pleasures, had come and gone, September, 1925 found us back at school determined to uphold the lofty dignity of Seniors. What a. glorious feeling of pride filled us as we entered those doors of our grand new building! NVe were elated to be Graduates, but our joy was over- shadowed by the news that two former teachers had left to take up duties else- where. Yet we needed o11ly an introduction to their successors to know that these vacancies had bee11 well filled. page one hundred forty-six
