Enthusiastic youths, Mike Hermes, Richard Fox, and Hal Redmon, register amusement as Brother Mike jokingly informs them that painting doesn ' t seem to be one of their artistic talents. Senior Boys Take Time Out to Aid Their School Charity begins at home. Seniors, the mature students of any high school, should realize the great truth of this slogan. Good will toward others provides one with an inner satisfaction which cannot be substituted by anything else. In return for the unselfishness offered by the Brothers of Mary over the years, several of the senior boys re- linquished a few of their leisure summer hours to re- furnish the high school classrooms with a refreshing coat of paint. This action not only saved the school considerable expense, but seemed to infuse new life into the student body as well. This act of charity serves as a lasting contribution of the Seniors of 1965 to the improvement of Saint Joseph High School. Bobby Bailey, Mike Gilley, and David Pittman pause to receive hints on painting technique from fellow workers. 17

Students Strive to Know Classes — the primary reason for the existence of schools. Attitudes toward classes change during the year. Everyone feels that burst of enthusiasm as he begins with a new schedule, and that enthusiasm slumps into the mid-term drag. But much too soon, that scholastic year ends and, only then, does the student realize how much he has learned. Classes are the basis and foundation of the high schools, and al- though it may occasionally be doubted, classes are one of the things remembered as an integral part of the school year. Pat Mackrell believes th.it the best, most effective way to study is to apply one ' s self in complete solitude without danger ot interruption.
