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

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

A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE The reunion planned in l95O has come to pass. It is Iune 7, l96O. The gathering is going on at the Maloney Plaza, owned and operated by Ianet herself. People from far and near crowd this hotel to enjoy the food of one of America's greatest cooks, Nancy Smyth. Nancy is assisted by three of her classmates, Patty Whalen, Patty Corbett, and Mary Lou Fulcher. Near the Plaza is an exclusive Dress Shop managed by Patty Lehman. Here one can find the latest styles designed by Mimi better known as Connie Kramer. The hats are fash- ioned by Iosephine Buzzelli and are strictly originals . We learn with great pleasure that Lasca Ramroth has been crowned Queen of the Air- ways . Mary Motz is her co-pilot and Rosemary O'Connor is her stewardess. Their plane brings to the reunion Peggy La Houd, one of the leading stars of the Metropolitan Opera. Lasca's planes are built by Larrimer and Company, a growing and thriving business. Per- haps the Nini-Giantonio automotive firm is just as flourishing with their famous yellow con- vertibles. The gasoline furnished for both these firms' is purchased from Diane Bowen's fill- ing station. Patty Kern has just returned from a concert tour in Europe. Her traveling companions were Mary and Martha Fenlon. It was a most interesting crossing on the Queen Van owned and operated by Mary Ann Vanderburg and captained by Kathleen Devine who made a record crossing in three days less than schedule. The life boats on this ship bear the familiar name of Rudolph, Ruetty, and Sweinsberger, while the entertainment aboard the steamer was furnished by the famous Ohio quartet-Roehrenbeck, Faherty, Santel, and Corbett. Diane Reed has earned the title, All American, in girls' basketball. Her tremendous publicity is due in part to the fact that lean Hine holds the editorial seat of the Columbus Dispatch. Diane's success may also be credited to her trainer and coach, Georgine McConnell. Virginia Miller has followed a remarkable- career. She is the famous juiiitsu teacher at Miller's Training Center in the heart of Columbus. In museums all over the world we find the masterpieces of Iennie Lee Hancock. Hoff- man and Huffman, America's greatest paint manufacturers, furnish her paints. This year the Pulitzer Prize- went to Sally DeShetler for her novel, Michigan Girl and to Sarah Hutchins for her plays. Mary Io, who received her degree in elementary education at the Berwanger University, is now teaching Mary Ann Rosati's and Carm ella's many children. She receives much help and encouragement from Phyllis Pfeifer and Anna Marie Monett who are now engaged in the same field as S.N.D.'s. Dorothy Schwarz and Lillian Beltram have just arrived from their swanky winter resort in Florida. En route they met lean Belt, dean of girls at the state reformatory, and lane Voss, psychiatrist at the same institution. 32 Saiograph
