St. Joseph Schools, Inc., Bears Responsibility for Management of Our School When it became apparent that existing facilities were no longer adequate to serve the growing congregation of the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament, the decision was made to build a new Mother House and education center. Launching of the campaign for the Nazareth Convent New Mother House Building Program was announced in January of 1962 in all Victoria parishes and throughout the area served by the Sisters. The funds raised by the campaign were used to assist the Sisters in the completion of the new Mother House and education center constructed on a forty acre tract in east Victoria. Construction of the $2,000,000 project was completed in January of 1963. Accompanied by Reverend Msgr. Beck, Reverend Mother Rose does the honors at the ground breaking ceremonies. Prayers Answered for IWBS Sisters New Mother House of IWBS Sisters We Dedicate Our Book To Reverend Clement Otting, S.M. The senior classes of St. Joseph High School and Nazareth Academy wish to dedicate the 1963 EXCELSIOR to Reverend Clement Otting, S.M. In his 15 years in Victoria Father Otting has turned the boys who have entered St. Joseph ' s into men worthy of the responsibilities that the world has placed upon them. He has also served as spiritual director of the nuns who teach at Nazareth Academy, thereby having a definite influence on both of our schools. It isn ' t his duties themselves, but it is his devotion to these duties and the self-sacrificing attitude with which he approaches them that demand our admiration. We realize that the greatest honor any of us could give him would be to live according to the Christian ideals that he has set before us. In order to afford him a small part of the honor that he so greatly deserves, we dedicate this book to Father Otting. High School Bulletin. Board Saint Joseph High School is . . . the spirit at a pep rally . . . the excitement of a football game . . . the disappointment when a test is failed . . . the satisfaction of making the Honor Roll . . . the uncertain anticipation of a football player on the bus ride to the game . . . the smug feeling of a basketball player after the Flyers have won a close game ... a crowded hallway ... a noon hour under the pavillion ... an understanding teacher ... an interesting course ... or maybe a missing assignment ... or staying in after School. Yet, Saint Joseph High School is not any one of these, but a mosaic comprised of all of them. Our Schools St. Joseph High School ir  Nazareth Academy Produce Better Citizens Nazareth Academy is a bond of unity and friendship. She is the spirit of the students. She is the anxiety on report card day; the funny feeling when the school song is sung. She is a passing smile in the hallway; the low murmur of the classrooms; and the frantic cram- ming- the night before the test. Nazareth Academy does not have exactly the same meaning for all the students. To some she is hard work, to some a few tears — happy and sad, to some worry, to some a source of pride, to some happiness, and to some a guide- post to the future. But to all Nazareth Academy is memories. NA Gym I 1 NA Playground . . . Preparing Them for the Grade School Hallway H ; 1 i a ft 1 k. High School . . . Freshmen, we jumped into the whirlpool of High School activities and were left gasping for breath — dances, Student Council, Homecoming Parade, sports . . . Soph- omores, we began to get more sure ' of ourselves and try, in our own little way, to run a few things in the school . . . Juniors, the administration answered the challenge that we made as Soph- omores and we were put in charge of dances, the Juniors bingo, and most important of all, the Prom . . . Seniors, we have made our way through high school and we are confident in our- selves, but we are also uncertain, for we realize that we have a lot more ahead of us than we have behind us. Seniors, we are confident because we have met the challenges of high school, yet uncertain for we realize more fully the awesome challenges of the future. St. Joseph ' s Gym World of Tomorrow Statue of Our Lady at St. Joseph ' s NA Glass Street Entrance 13 Rt. Reverend Msgr. F. O. Beck, pastor, Reverend Thomas Lyssy, and Reverend Patrick Fidgeon play a very important role in the spiritual development of the Nazareth Acad- emy and St. Joseph students. Through their zeal, influence, and untiring efforts in leading souls to God, it is possible for the students to have the daily privilege of assisting at Holy Mass, receiving Communion, going to Confession, and obtaining valuable counsel in every doubt and perplexity. Msgr. F. O. Beck is pictured during one of his many busy moments as pastor of St. Mary ' s Church. Our Spiritual Guides Lead Us Taking time out to find the much needed information for a grateful student is one of the many helpful acts which Father Lyssy is happy to perform. With a big smile that reveals that his mind is not exactly on his breviary. Father Fidgeon prepares to spend his day off. 14 Father Hermes, pastor of Our Lady of Victory Church, offers the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the students of St. Joseph. To God Who Is Our Key to Education Father Moore chats with altarboy Hal Redmon before 6:00 a.m. Mass. Father McDonagh not only performs many parish duties as assistant pastor of Our Lady of Victory, but also takes special interest in the activities of our schools. Reverend Richard Toal, pastor, Rev- erend Vincent Patrizi, and Reverend Santiago Uberuaga are a tremendous boost to the spiritual growth and development of the Spanish speaking quarter of Victoria. Aided by a deep knowledge and under- standing of the language, customs, and beliefs of the Latin American people, they are better able to work with them in their quest for the ultimate goal — eternal happiness. With a smile of satisfaction that reveals a job well done, Reverend Richard Toal, pastor of Our Lady of Sorrows, completes another day ' s work. These Are the People Who Keep Father Santiago, assistant pastor at Our Lady of Sorrows parish and refugee from Cuba, prepares one of his excellent sermons in Spanish. 16 Looking justly proud.

Through their zealous teaching and noble example, they have inspired and prepared us to face the many challenges and decisions which we shall meet in future years. Although their main role is teaching Christian ideals, their interest extends beyond the classroom into the problems and person- ality of every student. Dedicated to their work, they manifest a spirit of generosity, friendliness, and mercy in their daily contacts with us. From them, we have gained spiritual, intellectual, and social insights which have brought each of us closer to God and to humanity. Truly, the IWBS Sisters have given our lives a foundation upon which we must build a mansion of accomplishment. REVEREND MOTHER M. ROSE Superior General Our Understanding SISTER M.

Sister Anthony 4th Grade Home Economics 30 Sister Denise 4th Grade All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. This statement applies to the grammar grades of Nazareth Academy who make good use of the playground as well as of their books. Beauty, Goodness and Truth Two warm-hearted chemistry students, Debbie Henkel and Bette Stockbauer, spend a few jovial hours in the lab perfecting an experi- ment which is sure to . . . benefit (?) mankind.

Hilda demonstrate to second graders, Andrew Stryk, Ruben Salinas, and Frank Solis the rules for telling time. To Live What We Believe A little dab here and a little dab there, and behold — another master- piece! Sister Margaret Mary is not satisfied until everything is just so, as any art student well knows. J3 Though the- saying goes: Too many cooks spoil the stew, any boy at St. Josephs will tell you that this doesn ' t apply if the stew is prepared by their cafeteria staff consist- ing of Mrs. Kruppa, Mrs. Kovar, Mrs. Nevlud, Mrs. Mauer, and Mrs. Garza. Wholesome Meals and Provided by Cafeteria Adolph lurena stacks the hot lunch trays, so that they may start their cycle through the automatic dish- washer, as part of his job around Nazareth. If bright smiles and sunny dispositions are what it takes to keep a cafeteria running smoothly, then Nazareth Academy has the best in town. Included in the cafeteria staff are Mrs. Brosch, Mrs. Eisman, Mrs. Seigel, and Sister M. Catherine. 34 Mr. Jesse Morales takes special pride in the compliments that he receives on the shining Grade School Hallways. A familiar and friendly sight to all Nazarites is Mr. Brosch, our janitor. Keeping our classrooms clean and orderly is one of Mr. Brosches daily duties at Nazareth. Spotless Facilities Are and Janitorial Staffs A familiar sight to all St. Joseph students is Mr. David Davis conscientiously striving to preserve the beauty of our High School Buildings. 35 What is God? Who is God? Why is God? Where is God? We try to find the answer to these questions in our religion classes as we learn to know, love, and serve Him. We become acquainted with God through the Bible, textbooks, meditations, and daily tasks. We serve God in our lives by offering all our acts and works to Him. Our love for Him is shown through our actions of every day, every hour, and every minute. We bring our religion to life and make it a real living, integral part of us. Through our religion courses we learn the per- fect way to eternal happiness in heaven: We must live our lives according to the pattern set down by Christ in the New Testament and trust in the Wis- dom and Mercy of God. Religion . . . From Father Vincent gives Sally Rendon a complete explanation of the Immaculate Conception. The parish priests aid us in learning out reli gion both by personal interviews and by teaching a class. 36 Our religion classes give us a spiritual aid for gaining salvation. The look of concen- tration on the faces of the juniors show that they make the most of their time in religion class. Catechism to Cana Conferences Before continuing on her way, Bette Stockbauer pauses for a moment or two for a visit with our Blessed Mother. 37 Down through the ages, men have learned to express themselves in terms that could be easily understood by their neighbors. Although the sounds coming from the English rooms do not resemble the first grunts uttered by our ancestors, one can hear the various tenses of verbs — I walk, you walk, she walks, etc. Because correct punctu- ation is a vital and essential part of our written language, special emphasis is given it throughout the study of English grammar. Also closely connected with our language is our lit- erature. With literature, one ventures through the depths of men ' s minds, exploring the ideals and motivation of authors present and past. One can walk through the pages of time with the Bronte sisters over the bleak, windswept northern moors of England as they weave their tragic stories of passionate love and gloomy heroes. Or perhaps one would prefer to witness, with Robinson Crusoe, the chilling cannibal feast on his lonely island. Or maybe one would feel more at home with Robert Louis Stevenson, braving the wind and waves on a fantastic treasure hunt led by the notorious Long John Silver. With literature, one can spend tense, terrifying moments with Edgar Allen Poe or share hilarious experiences with Mark Twain English . . . From During the extensive study of Shakespeare, the use of sound as well as the text helps promote interest and enjoyment of the won- derful world of drama. Seniors, Nadine Frazer, Beth Hawes, Vickie Trahan, and Susan Halepaska listen to a recording of MACBETH. 38 Besides the study of prose, poetry receives its fair share of attention. Great stress is laid on all types of poetry, whether the strict rhythm of Spenser or the the modern free swinging poems of Carl Sandburg. Some of the most popular words of many famous authors are in the form of poetry. Students learn to appreciate poetry even more by doing as well as reading. The frequent recitation of a poem acquaints one with the mood and ideas contained within. In either branch of English, the student develops an appre- ciation for our land, its language, and literature. English I, conducted by Bro. Wolfe, proves to be a very interesting subject as shown by the eagerness of the Freshman boys to answer. However, Dion Holm seems to be resting his brain in order to give an intelligent response. Modifiers ... to Macbeth As they delve deeper into the well of English literature, the Sophomores begin to appreciate the magic of poetry. Andrea Trahan stirs the imagination of the class with the recitation of Tenny- son ' s Charge of the Light Brigade. 39 . . . and he told me the first knob to the left in the center, says Charlie Stevenson as he trys desperately to bring the sine wave into focus. Offering no advice, Mike Ward waits impatiently to write down the results. Science . . . From Bobby Ortiz looks a bit too eager to dissect the fish which Royce Carville hands him in their biology class. Gary Arnold appears perfectly content without any of this fishy business. The- treshman biology students seem- to have their minds on other things rather than the parts of an earthworm which Bro. John McCarthy is pointing out. 40 While the world is beginning to conquer space, to those who won- der at the everyday things, science offers an explanation of the many questions which have often puzzled them. Chemistry, although often thought of as being too remote and complex to attempt, is in reality the science of those things common to us all. For example, H-,0 — two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxy- gen combine to form one of the most useful and common resources of nature — water. Another probe into nature ' s won- ders proves to be quite informative as the students group new-found biology specimens into their proper kingdoms, phylums, and orders. Still more fascinating is the dis- secting of living creatures to find out the mysteries and functions of the greatest machine of all time . . . the living body. Bette Stockbauer ' s deep concentration appears to be on something other than diluting an acid. Nevertheless, Sandra Zatopek and Helen Broderick perform the experiment with great zeal during one of the chemistry classes. Atoms ... to Anatomy ■ mmmBHIV ' Let ' s get to the bottom of this plant seems to be the attitude of these industrious biology students. Carol Ley inspects the actual plant, Theresa Moreau draws the diagram, Carolyn Hammack uses the microscope, and Marilyn Hammack uses the chart. 41 It doesn ' t matter how simple Algebra may seem to Gayle Ganem, Connie Ayo still appreciates the explanation of Debbie Oliver. Mathematics . . . From Triangles, angles, perpendiculars, and bisectors are some of the familiar names that greet Geometry students every day. Here Tana Matthews seems to be stuck with a problem while the rest of the class, though offering no help, look on. From addition and multiplication tables, through fractions, factoring, the Pythagorean Theorm, and the Binomial Expansion Theorm to Trigonometric Identities our math was built, block upon block. From what was already learned we expanded into different and more complex operations, but these operations were made simple by their dependence upon and their relation to other mathematical facts which pre- viously had been challenged, conquered, and made our own. These principles when carried over to our daily lives help us to analyze facts more carefully and to base our decisions, not exclusevly on feelings, but on a logical study of the facts. 42 Bill Urban appears to have mastered two vital factors of mechanical drawing — concentration and accuracy. ! ■ Algebra ... to Angles Fractions and squares in algebra may be hard for some students, but not so for Arthur Meitzen and Mike Rivera. As Arthur circles his answer, Mike prepares to explain his problem to the class. 43 The key to a deeper understand- ing of ancient culture and customs can be found in the knowledge of foreign languages. A study of Latin can unlock the door to the origin of our language and can lead to the discovery of many of our ideals of modern living. Through Latin we learned from the Romans many of their customs and have developed them into our own mode of living. Spanish, too, gives us an idea of the people who speak it. A knowl- edge of these languages not only gives us a greater understanding of our own heritage, but can lead to better undetstanding and co-opera- tion throughout the world. Lulu Reyna and Alice Briones explain the intricacy of a piece of Roman artillery to Gail Ford, Pat MacKrell, and Charlotte Brown. During their Latin II studies, the students become acquainted with various types of war machines used by Caesar in his Gallic wars. Foreign Languages . . . From Although the students in this Spanish class seem now to be in a lazy mood, the posters in the background give us an idea of the spirit and interest which the boys manifest during their class time. 44 All Gaul is divided into three parts, but Latin II student, Charles Krejci can ' t quite seem to figure out just where. Paul Tagliabue isn ' t offering a hel pful hint either. It ' s not that Charles doesn ' t know; it ' s just that Amicus ... to Amigo . . . . and this is my bushy tail, says the big, bad wolf, Brenda Bianchi, Spanish II student, to Mary Bowen during the presentation of the Spanish version of Little Red Riding Hood at the Spanish I initiation. Even though the Spanish I class went through some embarrassing moments, the affait proved to be loads of fun. 45 History is the story of people — in their moments of glory and ignominy. In this story we trace their faltering footsteps through the musty corridors of time. We relive the building of the pyramids, the glory of the Greeks, the birth and crucifixion of Christ, the decline of the Roman Empire, the Dark Ages, the Renaissance, the discovery of America, the American Revolution, World Wars I and II, and the beginnings of the conquest of space. History, rather than a dead course, is a course of life itself — people living, not only for themselves but for others. Through the pages of our history books we follow our fore- fathers as they struggle to build America into a strong and healthy nation which they can be proud to call their own. We see also in other nations the continuous striving for peace and cooperation to make the world a better place in which to live. We learn from the mistakes and achievements of the past to prepare ourselves for the problems of the future. Sometimes the most difficult problem in teaching is to keep the attention of the students. Social Studies From One of the history class projects is that of class discussions. Here Judy Trevino, Shirley Simmons, Judy Patton, Nancy Tolbert, Mary Poole, Donna Swoboda, and Karen Miori discuss the spread of World War I in Europe. 46 Even though Julie Sepulveda has been called on in Civics for the answer, she can ' t seem to find just the right word to express it. But despair not, Julie, for rhe eager hands of Sally Rendon, Berh Hawes, and Cathy Sandhofer go up to help you out. Kings ... to Kennedy Sociology taught by Father Otting gives the boys an aid for improvement of themselves and the world about them. Through our history courses we are guided by the results of the actions of others to our own deci- sions, not only in civic matters, but also, and more important, in our own personal lives. By gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves and others we are better able to live in harmony with our fellow children of God. We apply the teachings of our ancestors to our own every day lives to help us understand the true meaning of freedom so that we can live peaceably. Our education is, in the main, geared to the training and formation of the mind. But our Physical Education courses counter- balance our studies and round out our education by providing a chance for us to train and condition our bodies. During P.E., as it is commonly called, we condition our bodies and tone-up our muscles through calesthenics — push-ups, sit-ups, side-straddle hops. We develop coordination, a sense of sportsmanship and fair play, and, most important to us, we have fun through our football and Softball games, and volleyball, basketball, ping pong tournaments. P.E. is not only one of our most useful courses, but also, by far the most enjoyable period of our school day. Physical Education . . . From Jamie Obsta nonchalantly watches her teammates, Mary Bowen and Gwyn Hall, struggle to get that one-more-point. V 11 48 One, two, three, four, one . . . and so the P.E. class of Nazareth begins with exercises before encountering either volleyball, basketball, baseball, or ping pong. Push-Ups ... to Ping Pong Push-ups, laps, track practice, foot- ball practice — all these are hard and strenuous, but oh, . . . that long walk back to the showers is murder. The P.E. class demonstrates its co- ordination and agility (?) for all the world to see. Anyone in need of a good secretary? By the end of the year the careful teaching of Sister Clare will convert these now willing-to-learn Seniors into hard-working, industrious secretaries ready for hire. They are Nadine Frazer, Frieda Kloesel, Pat Burger, Tana Matthews, Phyllis Sandhop, Donna Tolson, and Martha Blaylock. Vocational Courses . . . From Since office work will be the occupation of approximately 50% of most graduates, business courses ranging from the basics of typing to bookkeeping are offered. Short- hand and typing play an impottant part in the training of future secre- taries. Typing to music has proved to be effective in teaching correct rhythmic movement. Another form in business that is stressed constantly is neatness. If the world and its affairs are to be conducted in an orderly fashion, surely its business executives and their work should be shining ex- amples of definite uniformity and neatness. Our future graduates are the adults of tomorrow and should receive training to merit the title. 50 Boys type, too? Strange as it may seem, yes, they do. But and Toby Henderson be typing that is funny only to them? i-hat could Sammy Dick As every one knows, one cannot live with- out food, and most of the food eaten is that which has been cooked. Since most of the cooking in the world is left to the women, the course of Home Economics is offered to teach girls how to cook. They learn early the basics of cooking and baking and before long are able ro turn out many savory and tempting dishes. Not only is it neccessary that future home- makers know how to cook, but another great asset to their lives is that of sewing. One of the requirements regarding this art is that at least one article of clothing must be sewn during each semester. With these skills to back them up, the girls can fearlessly confront the hungry world as futu re homemakers who are commonly known as housewives. Future homemakers? Maybe not yet, but undet the supervision of Sistet Anthony the capable hands of Phyllis Sandhop, Brenda Fox, and Elaine Strelczyk will be baking cakes, roasts, and muffins in no time. Shorthand ... to Stoves Another great asset to the life of a girl is that of knowing how to sew. Here J a n i e Rincon, Elizabeth Carver, and Estelita Mendoza begin the first step of making a dress — cutting it out. 5) ' «•;■ SENIORS - r Outstanding Personalities Lead Our Search for High Ideals Seven students from each of our schools, St. Joseph and Nazareth Academy, have been chosen as all-around outstanding leaders. The selection was based on the qualities of dependability, loyalty, sincerity, scholastic achievement, and honesty, as well as popularity. This section replaces such trite honors as Most Courteous, Best Looking, and Most Likely to Succeed. Instilled with such qualities, these fourteen students are a true reflection of the spirit of our schools. They have played a most active part in making our treasured memories, and have led us in our search for high ideals. 54 BETTE STOCKBAUER, Student Council president, leads her school in many activities. She maintains the highest scholastic standing in the class and carries out with enthusiasm the many projects which she undertakes. One of her most prominent activities is that of co-editor of the EXCELSIOR. SAM DICK, president of the Student Council, personifies outstanding leadership. Not only does he conscientiously plan a project, but he also does more than his share of the work to complete it. His speaking ability and persuasiveness also have earned esteem for both himself and his school. 55 GAYLE WAGNER, a petite senior, is considered an out-standing student by fellow classmates and faculty. As co-editor of the EXCELSIOR, she devotes much of her time to advancing its progress. She is involved in many other activities such as the Science Club, CYC, 4-H, and National Honor Society. Gayle is noted for her promptness, efficiency and loyal personality. ROBERT HEBNER ' s sound reasoning and sinceritv have won the respect of both students and faculty. Although usually quiet, he doggedly backs up his convictions with logical arguments. While maintain- ing an excellent scholastic record. Bob still finds time to project his ideas into many school activities. 56 DAVID ELWONGER came to St. Joseph ' s via South Carolina in 1960. Immediately he became active in many school organizations. David is an intelligent, persevering student, who readily responds to any challenge, whether it stems from studies or sports. He is quick to analyze the situation and confront it with determination. STELLA HELWEG is one of the most enthusiastic and quick-thinking seniots. She is president of the National Honor Society and participates whole- heartedly in many other activities. She is friendly, sincere, always cooperative and she expresses and supports all her convictions. BETH HAWES, over-flowing with her warm and friendly smile, is a pert and talkative senior who takes the taunting of her classmates good-naturedly. She is an industrious annual-staffer who can often be found in the annual room searching for new ideas to use. FRED KI.OESEL. one of the friendliest seniors, is well-liked and respected b everyone Fred represents quiet leadership: he leads bv example rather than by words. When he does speak, however, everybody listens, because what he says is sincere and shows clear, honest thinking. GERALD PARGAC, one of the most courteous seniors, will always accomplish any job in finest fashion. He has devoted much of his time and effort to his section of the EXCELSIOR. Although usually thoughtful and quiet. Gerald is always very friendly and often enjoys light-hearted fun. CATHY SANDHOFER, a vibrant and energetic senior, is always ready to lend a helping hand to others.

Philippe queries as he tries out a favorite sport of Victoria teenagers. Although he never bowled before, he enjoys it very much. Phil has shown his knowledge of chemistry and physics through his class participation and unique concoctions. For the first time, St. Joseph has been privileged to host a special guest, a foreign exchange student, Philippe Petot. After the long trip from his home in Roubaix-Nord, France, Phil was welcomed by his American family, the Alton Bundick ' s. When he arrived at his new home, he was greeted by a delegation from St. Joseph. As Phil rapidly became more accustomed to the American way of life, he has taken an active part in school activities. The entire student body has expressed admiration for him by electing him an escort at Homecoming, and by appointing him an honorary member of the Student Council. The seniors, his fellow classmates, have found Flip quiet, but friendly, his expressive smile revealing a subtle sense of humor. Philippe has gained a better understanding of America and its people, and, in return, St. Joseph students have gained an insight into the life of the people of France. Philippe seems awed by the technique of the American female. ' . 1 £ % v ■ . — ' 4 ft fl • tkj ■ r - K li B fc ' 1 ■ 1 1 . r F IV lr 2?! B . : Sri ■• ■ , __— s «- V - ji a tTPL 1 i — - v B v 1 .

Jimmy Welder, Jeff Walters, and David Balboa, representing the Halletsville Indians, defiantly stand by awaiting their turn. 90 Homecoming activities for the 1962 football season are sure to remain cherished memories in the hearts of all high school participants. Though the years will flash by, thoughts of these few days will linger on. Who could forget the hours of detailed preparation? We bought crepe paper, corsages, and semi-formals. We made floats, and decorated cars for the parade. We badgered each other about who would win first prize. Boys spent weeks collecting wood for the bonfire, and spent nights protecting it. The coronation ceremony was almost perfect, except for the forgotten bouquets. Our queen was a doll! Best of all, we won the game ' Members of St. Joseph ' s Senior class are putting last-minute touches on their float which won first prize in the Homecoming parade.

Well it looks so bare, says Debbie Henkel as she tries in vain to explain to Donna Tolson and Stella Helweg one of her brainstorms for the Student Council Valentine Dance. Students Combine Untiring Efforts Now ya ' ll don ' t make it too long, warns Susie Halepaska to Martha Blaylock and Lydia Cantu. Carolyn Hammack searches through the ole ' faithful Student Council box for ideas to decorate the gym where the Valentine Dance is held annually. 92 Can ' t ya ' ll understand that we just have to have flowers? explains [Madeline Murphy to Tim Bundick and Ronald Zarbock. It is always the boys against the girls, and vice versa, even when they are working on the ' Junior-Senior Prom. Studying well -used catalogs are Jody Cinotti and Darryl Steflca. One of the biggest problems of the prom committee is to decide on a theme. Once selected, this theme is a well-guarded secret to keep the Seniors in suspense for six long months! And Fanciful Imaginations to Sponsor School Dances One of the most waited-for traditions during the school year is the Junior-Senior Prom. It is presented every spring by the combined Junior classes of Nazareth Acad- emy and St. Joseph. Early in the year, the Junior classes work untiringly to raise money and collect ideas for a theme for the dance. The Juniors are always striving to make their Prom the best yet. They especially try to outdo the previous Junior class, the Seniors, who also participate in the formal event, but only as the honored guests The efforts of these hard-working Juniors come to a climax on that very special night when the boys and girls trade their working clothes and turn into fairy princesses and princes. Rain or shine, sleet or snow, it is a memorable star-studded night for all.

Their chief delight throughout the mock trials will be to cry, Guilty! GUILTY! GUILTY! Trespassing Freshmen Seniors, Tana Sue Matthews and Vicky Trahan, enjoy two of the traditions of Freshman Initiation, the book-carrying and ring-kissing. Judge Bene Stockbauer ' s face takes on a mischievious grin as she peers over her glasses and contemplates the poor, quacking freshmen. The big, black book before her holds unheard of cruelties such as smearing with limburger cheese, or a molasses and sand treatment. Once again a tradition of years past has come alive, filled with meaning for the Senior and Freshman classes of 1963. The Kangaroo Court previously began with the 1957 N.A. Senior Class and was carried on by the class of 1960. Initiation began with the issuing of hats and the enumeration of orders to be carried out throughout the week. The girls were required to wear unmatched clothes and no makeup. Horrors like the one pictured at the upper left awaited the Freshmen in the fun house through which they were led imme- diately after receiving their sentences. Refresh- ments concluded the event. . 4 nrr ! ini The freshmen are always willing to help the seniors in any way they can. In this case it is by providing them with a very efficient means of transportation, the wagon. Each freshman fearfully awaits his trial by the impartial senior jury, which would sooner have them hung than look at them. Subjected to Trial by Kangaroo Court One of the punishments imposed upon the freshmen by the jury is to roll a pencil from one end of the gym to the other with their noses. The impartial judges, George Balboa, Mike Ward, Fred Kloesel, Ignatius Ruiz, and Arthur Spears eagerly await the next freshman so they can also give him a stiff punishment. As symbols of knowledge, love, faith, and loyalty the Senior class rings of Nazareth Academy and Saint Joseph are sources of pride and joy to all who wear them. They represent twelve years of hard studying but also twelve happy, well-spent ones. In the years to come we will be able to look at our rings and recall the many memories of our Alma Mater. It Takes a Lot to Make a Senior Year Complete- Gayle Wagner, one of the first Seniors to receive her ring, interrupted not only Phyllis Sandhop and Bette Richter but also the rest of the high school on the day the rings were distributed. Mr. Johnson measures Phyllis Sandhop in the first step in obtaining the long-awaited Senior ting. 96 Exhausted after hours of graciously greet- ing guests in the receiving line, the Seniors are finally able to sit down and compare notes. k Rings, Parties, Teas, . . . Just before the tea, Sally Rendon arranges a stray curl in Nadine Frazer ' s hair-do, while Julie Jean Sepulveda, Pat Burger, and Martha Blaylock take a last look in the mirror. Mrs. Philip Schoenberg together with Mrs. Bruno Garcia, Mrs. Oscar Frazer, and Mrs. Joe Rendon make sure there is. a plentiful supply of cups on hand. Velia Cervantes, a thirsty Senior, waits to be served punch. 97 Father Moore, retreat master, gave several conferences during retreat and is listened to attentatively by students. His conferences included talks on the Blessed Sacrament, paraphrasing of the Lord ' s Prayer, dating, and answering questions asked by the students. Here Pat Burger confides in Father Moore. Day of Recollection Aids in True Vocation A day of prayer, meditation, and solitude aids in the choice one may make in his state in life. The girls pray and ask help in making the right choice on this day. A group of girls conclude the day of recollection with a short meditation on vocations in the convent yard. a most appropriate place for a quiet day of retreat. 98 Father Louis Trawalter offered Mass each day of the retreat so that each student could be closer to God and thus make a good retreat. Students Get Closer to God Through Retreat Mass and Communion during the three days of retreat offer the students great spiritual assistance in making a good retreat. V St. Joseph students listen intently to one of Father Trawalter ' s many inspiring talks. 99 No other time of the year can compare with Christmas. Only then Jo kitchens take on a special, warm, spicey smell. Only then does it seem that winter cannot pierce the contentment in our homes and in our hearts. Only then is there such a real sacrificial spirit of giving. Only then do we celebrate Our Saviour ' s birth. Students Enjoy A Christmas Donna Tolson, portraying the Blessed Virgin, fondles the Infant Jesus in the preliminary practice of the Student Council ' s presentation of the Living Nativity. 100 In this scene from the Nazareth Academj Speech Classes ' presentation of a Christmas drama, Little Friend, Susan Halepaska, Mary Teresa Holm, and Phyllis Schoenberg, respectively portraying Sisters Marie.

Bettc Richter crowns Mary as Queen of May. Devotions Honor Our Lady As Queen of May The religious highlight in Nazareth Academy ' s May activities is the annual May Procession and Living Rosary. The entire senior class, dressed in caps and gowns, and joined with representatives from every class in school, comprise the beads in the living rosary. Highlighting the impressive twilight ceremony is the crowning of Mary as Queen of May. This year Bette Richter was delegated to crown Our Lady. Bearing the statue of Mary to her place of honor on the May altar were Nadine Frazer. Patricia Castcllow, Frieda Kloesel, and Ophelia Ramirez.

Blanche, sponsor of Americanism Week, and Commander Alvin P. Nelson look on with obvious approval. Americanism Week Promotes Patriotism To return the honor of representing] Nazareth Academy at a citizenship seminar last summer, Susan Halepaska, with the sponsorship of Sister Blanche and her History Club, proposed the project Amer- icanism Week. The purpose of the activity was to combat Communism by forming 1 strong patriotic convictions in our teenage citizens. Throughout the week, each morning, the student body assembled around the flagpole to show allegiance to the great symbol of our nation. Students wore patriotic colors and ribbons which proclaimed I AM AN AMERICAN. Special activities included the Veterans Day Parade and a special viewing of We ' ll Bury You, the story of Communism. Assemblies were called to hear featured speakers, Mrs. R. P. Dunn, Father Thomas Lyssy, and Msgr. F. O. Beck. To highlight the week, a student forum was held. Mem- bers of this forum were Gayle Wagner, chairman; Dianne Roberts, Mary Theresa Holm, Melanie Pizzolato, and Becky Massey. Pat Castellow also gave some interpretive readings. The success of Americanism Week is very commendable. All the students cooperated and strove to make the week a truly success- ful one. We must remember that freedom is America ' s most cherished possession. But, if freedom is to survive, we Americans must become aware of our enemies within and abroad. The American patriot is a vanishing species; we should strive to bring back this once noble breed. It is our great privilege to enjoy the fruits of freedom. It is our prime responsibility to preserve freedom for our children and theirs. Susan Halepaska previews rhe notes and literature from the Oklahoma Christian College Citizenship Seminar for new ideas and more suggestions in preparation for Americanism I Week. Mrs. R. P. Dunn, a noted authority on various political ideologies, addresses the high school assembly at the opening session of Nazareth ' s Americanism Week. .

NA Annual Sta ffers Rack Brains for New Ideas Besides the laughter and tears sometimes there is just plain, hard work. Mary Lupe Rivera, Diana Pena, Betty Tagliabue, Vicky Trahan, and Sally Jo Rendon show the more common side of the annual staff chores to be done day after day. M.iss lonfusion is the main result when there are class sections to be prepared. Bette Richter, Grammar Grade Editor, Donna Tolson, Underclassman Editor, and Bette Stockbauer, Co-editor, toil titedly but happily over the necessary task. One part of the initial preparation for publishing an Annual is observing exchange copies tor new ideas. Kathy Brzozowske seems to have hit upon the perfect plan, as Tana Matthews, Cathy Sandhofer, and Gayle Wagner.

Frank Motal and Mike Fox, who know better than Arthur, are already looking for a better picture.

The big play for the Flyers was a thirty-five yard pass play from Jim Cattan to Mike Fox; however, the play was nullified by a penalty. Cattan looks for key block from Miori. Joe Schwarzbach FLYERS BOW TO ROYALS For their second game, the Flyers traveled to San Antonio to play the St. Gerard Royals.

GRAMMAR GRADES ,,fK Maid Elaine Panioto and Nancy Baass tidy the room and wait hand and foot on ladies Patty Matthews and Brenda Helweg during their annual Maids and Ladies Day. The Eighth grade students participate in the annual Maids and Ladies Day in which several of the girls rake the parr of maids and serve rhe orhers who take the part of the ladies. This Activity is a symbol of their growing towards young adult- hood in the near furure. Play, Work, and Service Beatrice Garcia adjusts the record on the spindle of the record player, while Elvia Robles reads a brief summary of the record Evangeline before the rest of the class hears it. Karen Jaschke, Mary Ruth Brush, Audelia Briones, Rosemary Sanchez, and Julie Adamcik perform the One Foot Balance which is one of the many exercises the eighth graders do under the president ' s Physical Fitness Program. 210 Patrolers Jacqueline Gilley, Linda Perez, Julie Schultz, Dolores Burger, Marrha Jordan, and Faye Pagel receive last minute instructions from Beverly Kruppa before they start their great responsibility of protecting the little students who cross the busy stteets. Keep Eighth Graders Occupied Three sandwiches, four sandwiches, Irene Ramirez, Patsy Schraer, and Belinda Rodriquez count the right number of sandwiches needed to fill the orders for the chicken salad sandwiches to be sold for the P. T. A. Fall Festival. Helen Hunt, Mary Obert, and Bernadette Brosch prepare the projector and the film strip, which is one of the many visual aids provided by the school, for their Religion class. 211 Varied Activities M ake Each Day a Seventh graders Mary Rendon, Dolores Artero, Rae Elwonger, Stella Canales, Susan Danko and Sharon Ganem give their fellow classmates a demonstration with the six flags which flew over the State in its early history. Susan Gosch, Elizabeth Taylor, Jo Nel Arnold and Virginia Wearden, enthusiastic Sixth Graders, wrap gifts for the White Elephant sale for the Nazareth Academy P. T. A. Fall Festival. No! No! I am a friend. Help! Barbara Wagner, portraying Christopher Columbus, frantically pleads for her life, as the Indians, Alice Canalis, Karen Menely, Cynthia Siegel, Sandra Moraida, Diana Pagel, Mary Beth Cory, Herminia Hernandez, Deborah Witt, Karen Sue Parkinson, and Pamela Rakowitz look as if they would gladly rake her scalp. Delightful Adventure for Young Girls Alice Pozzi places a square-dance record on the turntable, while several other Sixth Graders practice a few of the more complicated steps before they begin their dance program. Pickled pig ' s feet, rattlesnake skins, fox brains and spiders — ugh. Some of these Fifth Graders take an active interest in science by examining little creatures under the microscope or studying the life habits of insects. Others seem rather wary of the idea and are ready to return to the normal routine of life any moment. 213 Patriotism and Entertainment Add Spark to School Patriotic fourth grade boys Bruce Meissner and Don Stockbauer ascend the American flag as their fellow classmates Gene Schely, Billy Stefka, David Ray Adams, and Gary Frazer, place their hands over their hearts. Gosh look at the bi-i-g pumpkin. The ex- pressions on the faces of Roselinda Garza, Cathy Aleman, and Rudolph Rincon betray their whole hearted approval of Halloween and everything connected with it. In addition to promoting leadership, class meet- ings provide entertainment and information for these third graders. Lives of Saints are enacted by Jean Kern, portraying Mary Magdalene: Joy Pagel, St. Cecilia; Patricia Bolich, St. Theresa; Shirley Pena, the Blessed Mother; Pat Smith, St. Patrick; Dorothy Fayles, St. Elizabeth; Ronnie MacGee, St. Francis, and John Maraggia, St. Christopher. To a third grader half the fun in life is making believe. In this group, Joyce Kouba representing Robin Hood; Bridget Faltysek, Pinochio; Barbara Hubenak, Hansel; Roberta Schroeder, Grethel; Ann Holm, the fairy; and Gail Bianchi, Alice in Wonderland; enter enthusiastically into the fun of depicting fairy tale characters in costumes and plays. Learning Through Programs, Prayers, and Playing Where is my ticket, seems to be the plea of Karen Janecka, while Pamela Paine hands Richard Charitat his meal ticket. The fact that meal time is a most enjoyable time can be seen on the eager faces of these first graders. Michael Sutherland, Sharon Sitka and Deborah Salziger assemble paper flowers which each student made with loving care so that it might be placed on the Blessed Mothet ' s Altar. 215 ' A Ronald Pressler, Frank Eckhenburg, and Anton Haschke take time out from their duties as patrol boys to pose for a picture.

Ralph takes time out from his many duties as grade school principal to give a little friendly advice to James Janda. Bro. John tries hard to wait on all who come to the book- store to make a purchase.
