of the fingers were stiff and tense. The Hrst quarter had worn this off and records were now being hung up. Typewriting is an art in which the class of '22 has a record yet to be attained by any class in St. Joseph's. Five Remington gold medals. Bradford Springer and john Beaubien exhibited rapidness of thought to the highest degree in the class in the first quarter, but Elmer Rademacher and Joseph Reuter forged steadily onward and ran aside Springer. Springer has the distinction of being admitted to the Order of Accurate Typists UO-A-T's j.for sixty words per minute, without an error. Our records are open to competition, they have not been equaled in the history of St. Joe's. The Christmas season reminded us of banquets, and a banquet we had. VV e had the honored presence of Father Lindemann, Father Marske and the entire Faculty at this afifair, for which credit is due Felix Kummer. However, as this was to be our last banquet at St. Joseph's the chairman of the committee decided to make it worth while and we unanimously say that he put on one splendid affair. On returning from the Christmas vacation we entered spiritedly into soliciting funds for the Christian Brothers' Crusade. We showed our appreciation of their unselfish labors by assisting them in their financiafl call to the best of our ability. It is an item of interest to know that we obtaine-'l S41 over our quota, or a percentage of 171. Half of the term was now drawing to a close and all were seriously absorbed in preparation for the mid-year exams. Geometry claimed a few victims for the half term, but all turned out to pay their respects at its fun-eral CEU A very unusual coincidence at a funeral was that all raised their voices to the strain of Hooray when they heard that History, a civilized subject, was to replace Geometry. With the election of Clarence Robinette to the presidency of our class, plans for the rapidly approaching future were discussed. Harry Trombly was elected Treasurer, but left school in the middle of the quarter, leaving twen.ty-two in tvwefzty-two, a rather unique coincidence. Class rings were adopted with the insignia, 'lSt. joseph's High School, 19Z2. Felix Kummer was at his favorite position of Committee Chairman again. Gone. The third quarter passed into oblivion. The results of the tests this time were the most important of the year, for those who had secured an average of seventy-five per cent as a minimum were excused from the fourth quarterly examinations. All had worked during this quarter, as was evident when one looked about the room during the tests. Heads bent, eyes firmly fixed on papers and strict silence. Rapidly moving pens denoted the intense work. The last lap regretfully came. But a few weeks remained and we were to venture forth to fight life's battles. We review with joy our four years in tlie fold of Alma Mater and we recall all the joys and happenings, the contrasting changes at the hands of time, from green boyhood to the radiant summit of man- hood. We have the advantage of a more proficient training than our predecessors Z we stand better prepared to serve humanity, greater fields to conquer: better future citizens for the uplift and glory of our great nation and better testimonials of the products of the Christian Brothers. XYe are justly proud of the distinction, The first Academic class of St. Joseph's, and we all firmly vouch for the truth of the statement: Fine Coronius Opus. RAYMOND SHEAHAN, '22.

Zin F112 Qnrnnrnpr Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, February 2, 1942. DEAR BROTHER JOSEPHI VVhile traveling through Buenos Aires sometime ago, I came across a Chris- tian Brothers' school. Desiring to know something of your whereabouts I called on the Brother Director and explained the object of my mission to him. At first he did not know the Brother Joseph I asked for, but after I told him the one I was seeking was very tall QFD he immediately recalled you. From him I learned of your wonderful success and what is more I was pleased to hear that you are now head of the New Manhattan College in New York City-that famous city. Now after I have explained to you my reasons for being down here in South America, I will narrate how I met or heard of all the members of the 1922 class, who graduated from that grand educational institution, St. Joseplfs High School, Detroit, Mich. No doubt you are somewhat surprised to hear that I am down here in the land of the tropical sun. Well, after graduating from St.. Joe's, I secured a posi- tion with a wholesale coffee house that dealt with South American countries. My Spanish came in very handy, for I was connected with the South American department. After two years of satisfactory work in this department I was offered the management of our distributing house here in Rio de Janeiro. I gladly accepted the advancement as it offered me an opportunity to get out and see some of the world. I left the states September 14, 1924, and from that day until Sep- tember of last year I heard practically nothing from the States and especially from Detroit. Now, to get back to my visit to the school in Buenos Aires. As I was talking to Brother Director, another Brother happened into the office. He was introduced to me as a Brother Agnon. After a moment or two I recognized in him my former classmate-VVilliam Bossenberger, who was wearing the humble habit of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. We then fell to talking about old times. VVe each then told the other our experiences since leaving the hallowed walls of our Alma Mater. Immediately after my visit to the Brothers I resolved then and there to take a trip back to dear old Detroit, in order to meet the boys again. My application for an extended vacation was granted and so on September 13 last year I left South America for the States, with Detroit as my ultimate destination. But before reaching the Aero Line City I planned to visit Philadelphia and Ann Arbor on some very important business for our concern. I set out on the North American Aero Line and soon landed in the City of Brotherly Love. I registered at the VVilliam Penn and whilst sitting in the lobby of that hotel, I chanced to pick up the Saturday Ewmzting Past. Glancing through its pages I came across an article written by the editor entitled: VVhat the Chris- tian Brothers, a Catholic teaching organization, has done for America during the past century. I wondered how such an article could find its way into a paper like the Post, until I saw the name of Raymond Sheahan, our editor-in-chief ot' the Arrow during those famous days, with the words editor-in-chief, after it. I resolved to call upon him and congratulate him on his fine article. Arriving at his office I was immediately ushered into his presence. Congrat- ulating him on the article, Ray said that he had written nothing but what was true. After a few minutes of conversation the business manager of the Past came. Say Ray-VVhy, hello Rad, what are you doing here? VVhere have you been all these years P VVho was it, but Francis X. Kraft, former business manager of the Page Tflllffj'-0116
