Leo Casarez, john Passariello, William O'Brien, and Thomas Laundra use the power of the rosary, praying not so much to win, but to play the game well. William Yule, Thomas Laundra, and Mr. Bosch, en- ioying his coke, eye the senior pictures in the hall wondering how the Class of '49 will look when framed. Lettermen's queen Susan Kushion in the foreground and her two attendants Joyce Pickelmann and joan Galonska give premature smiles, not realizing that the Bucs will hold their Bay City namesake to a mere seven points the following Sunday.

During this Diamond jubilee year, St. Joseph High School Glee Club consisted of fifty members after final eliminations under the direction of Sister M. Andrew. This special training received, placed them as an inspiration to the four hundred and forty members of the student body in attendance at the daily Missa Cantata. They stood apart in formal attire at the Pageant October 30 and sang Memories and an appropriate jubilee chorus in thanksgiving. ln November, they were heard over the air on a program given by the Senior girls who composed and dramatized a skit based on the ideals of Christian Family Life. Their starring roles in the Cantata Christmas Through the Ages , brought realism into the per- formance and drew ovations through the special solos. duets, and mixed choral work. The boys sextette was cheerfully received at the February meeting of the Parent-Teacher Organization. On March 18, Monsignor Bolton's Feast Day. 55 girl members sang a parody on Solomon Levi . The boys harmonized two choruses, then all joined in a choral feast day greeting. A part cantilation and part harmonization of the Seven Last Words sung at the Passion Play. Pilate and the Cross, April 9 and 10, and the Tre Ore Service on Good Friday were evidences of further success. All musical activities culminated at the Class Night Exercises. M
