Zliirzt lgrvpaminrg 1922 RIGHT and early on the morning of Sept. 12, 1922, a l group of smiling boys presented themselves at the gates of St. .loe's, anxiously seeking admission within its hal- lowed walls. Twenty of these youngsters took their appointed I places in the First Preparatory, ready to start the last lap of their preparatory work. Fre many months had rolled by the number had been diminished, Edwin ,lidwards had gone on to the Pacific Coast, with his parents and a few more had departed for other institutions of learning. The first quarterly examination came and went and we found that Oscar Martz was in the lead, a position which he held up to the third quarter, when john Viviano, dethroned him. - Rev. Bro. A. John, F.S.C. During the first quarter football occupied our attention. so much so, that we put a Prep team on the gridiron and won two victories, one over Freshman A, juniors and the other over Freshmen .Iuniors. H Following cclosely on the heels of football came the Brothers' Crusade, for which we worked might and main, and we are glafl to say, that we did our bit to show our appreciation for the work done by the Christian Brothers. Un December 23 we held a social in the club rooms and it gives us great pleasure to say, that the committee in charge did everything possible to make the affair a huge success. A class orchestra composed of the following furnished the music: Louis Medici, pianist: XValter Krause and Alphonse Krebsbach, vio- linistsg Sigmund Krebsbach, cornetist. Shortly after the Christmas vacation had ended, wctagaiu encountered the nerve racking examinations, but we are glad to say that the results were satisfac- tory to the members of the class. During the basketball season, our team met the .lunior teams of the high school, with the following results: victory in all the games played with the Freshmen and defeat three times at the hands of the Second Year juniors. About this time radio became the talk of the city, country and state. St. .loe's was no exception. Brother Ilenry, our director, installed a receiving set and gave the students the benefits of the concerts of the lffffillif Neem, llc explained the working of his machine to us, and it is safe to say that every bey in the class installed at least a crystal set, for fear of being ostracized from society. .Xfter a strenuous Lenten season, during which all tried to perform some extra good works, etc., we left for our liaster Vacation on lloly Thursday at noon and returned Tuesday, ,Xpril 18, having had but two short days of rest. XYith the Third Quarterly examinations out of the way, we were informed that upon our return from the lfaster vacation, we would have an intelligence test, this knowledge gave joy to our hearts and solace to our spirits and thus helped us to enjoy our vacation all the more. t ?j The Year Book was the next thing to occupy out attention. XYe were requested to do our share for it and do it we did. Vve responded with alacrity and as a result went over the top with our quota, thus proving that we can do a thing when called upon. As in all other drives we helped to make this one a success. Now friends we will bid you good -bye. The tale of our last year in the Preparatory Department is ended: the foundation of our future success has been finally completed, and we now are about to step out into the High School world. As Freshmen of St.-,loseph's we expect to greet you when June 1923 rolls around. Page Sr'r'c'1zty-tlimc
