30 Sajograph YOU WERE THERE Presented by Radio Station-S-E-N-I-0-R-S Time-June 7, 1950 Announcer-And what's our program for this week on You Were Thereni This week we have four lovely young ladies from Saint Joseph Academy, ready to recount the highlights of their four years. Each will recount the story for one year. Right now advancing to the mike is Nancy Smyth. Nancy-Our freshman class entered the halls of Saint Joseph Academy in September 1946. How many new experiences we had that yearl One never-to-be-for- gotten day was that on which the Seniors initiated us. We survived. Gradually We learned to cope with high school subjects. We learned cooperation by playing and working with girls from other schools and other sections of the city. Mid-year exams followed Father Flinn's fine retreat. Studies, sports, and social activities together with our spiritual interests filled each succeeding day until the happy June day when we saw the seniors receive their diplomas from His Excellency. Announcer-Thank you, Miss Smyth. I am sure we have enjoyed your picture of your first year in high school. Now Miss Carolyn Kramer will give us the happenings of the Sophomore year. Carolyn-This year at S.-j.A. we were introduced to geometry and biology, inter- esting but not easy subjects. Feeling quite superior to the incoming freshmen We participated with assurance in the student council, sodality, and athletic meetings. Our retreat master, Father Skalko, gave us much to consider. The second semester passed so quickly that before we could realize it we were saying farewell to the seniors. We looked forward to September when we would be upper classmen. Announcer-Thank you, Miss Kramer. Miss Bowen will now give us the next experience of her class. Step closer to the mike, please. Diane-Our third year was a thrilling one. We received our class rings, helped to plan the Cherry Ball, sang carols at the Cathedral before Midnight Mass. Our retreat, conducted by Monsignor Cousins, was exceptionally impressive. The basketball, volley ball, and tennis 'tournaments afforded us many exciting moments. The sodality and athletic teas brought us close to commencement day. This crowning event of the year made us realize that our senior year was just around the corner. Announcer-Thank you, Miss Bowen. Miss Hine will now tell us the privileges of being a senior. Hine--I really do not know where to begin. The Mass of the Holy Ghost, school elections, initiation of the freshmen, the Fall Festival, were all interest- ing experiences. The Rural Life Conference brought us the beautiful pageant, The Secret of Green Acres . Our part was to paint the coat of arms of the dioceses that belong to this great movement. Father Corbett's excellent retreat, exams, Mother-Daughter Tea, Mission Day, May Crowning, came one after the other in such haste that before we could realize it, we were practising for the commencement program. We received our precious diplomas from His Excellency, Bishop Ready, and then after our reception into the Alumnae, we regretfully passed from high school days to the responsibilities that always follow. Miss Announcer-Thank you, graduates of Saint Joseph Academy. Your memories of a happy past will, we hope, be an expectant look into the future for many of our radio audience. Mary Jo Amsbaugh

CLASS SONG Our year ushers in the morrow of farewell, Memories fill our hearts: bind us closer: Our souls pledged to constancy. And so in parting let us remember That life its joys brings e'er touched by sorrow, That each new day - a Cod-sent ,gift Bears with its burden the hope of Heaven's tomorrow. Then be our purpose-and our endeavor To live our lives firm in faith and strong in trial. To 'Christ our Leader-we plead for guidance, For dauntless courage, for loyalty unswerved. -Sarah Hutchins Saiograph 31
