C T .1g::f'f Q' A ,f'f'f - ' ST. THEODORE Theodore Tyre, a native of Syria, was young when he enlisted in the Roman Army. With his legion, he was sent into w1nter-quar- ters in Pontus, when fresh edicts were published by Maximlan, for continuing with the utmost rigor, the persecution, which had been raised by Diocletian. Our young soldier was so far from concealing his faith, that he seemed to carry it written on his forehead. Being seized and presented to the governor of the province, and the tribune of his legion, he was asked by them how he dared to profess a religion which the emperors punished with deathg to whom he boldly made the following declaration: UI know not your gods. Jesus Christ, the only son of God, is my God.' His Judges, with a pretended compassion for his youth, allowed him time for reflection, and dismissed him for the present. Theodore employed this interval in prayer for perserverance. When he was carried a second time before the governor he was ready to prevent his questions by a profession of his faith. Un- der all manner of torments the saint maintained his tranquility and greatness of soul, and ceased not to repeat the words of the psalmistz 'I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall be always in my mouth.' St. Theodore is presented in art as standing on a crocodile or dragon. The emblem of Satan or of sin, which he overcame as a good Christian Soldier. The Sophomore Class wish to take this opportunity to thank Father Hammes, We appreciate being able to take part of our high school in a Catholic atmosphere, and this appreciation will no doubt grow with the years, We are not unmindful of the many sacrifices made for our benefit and convenience. Your spirit of zeal and devotion cannot but have an influence for good on our lives. Your many acts of kindness will not be forgotten, and in return we are asking Our Immaculate Mother for many, many favors for you. --Ruth Fritz 'so 'UUR PABTGR' REVEREND THEODORE HAMMES Pastor of St. JoBeph's Church, Elwood Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana 1 1 K i it Q T O H 0 N S I G N O R May God thy every footetep guide Thy whole life sanotifyg May he who bade thee watch His sheep Thy labors fruotify.

But what are all these arts to teaching That fathoms the depth of a soulg That rousss the mind into actlong that leads us to God's highest goal! Ah! wonderful soul of yon infant! I see you from heaven descend To drink from the lips of God's teacher A knowledge that none can transcend.

'fopepk cipfou, Indiana THE TEACHER'S PRAYER I do not crave celestial fire, To kindle hearts of youth: I simply ask the gift divine To lead my class to Truth. To lead them thru School's devious ways, To see them grow apace Along the path where Wisdom stands And doles out heavenly grace. I pray to fashion their young minds To know and do their party I seek to see them drawing near Unto the Sacred Heart. Great Teacher, list unto my prayer! Oh, hearken to my plea! My very heart's desire is this: To lead them nearer Thee. RX L 'X 6f4447!0C06'l There are many reasons why we have chosen the Red Rose as our Class Flower. As the Sunflower is symbolical of Faith, the Ivy of Hope, so is the Rose of Charity. y Kindness is a very beautiful word, a word that expresses one of the most pleasing qualities that anyone, and especially young people can possess, Therefore we ought to practice as perfectly as possible the second commandment of the law, UThou Shalt love thy neighbor as thyselfn, ' Faith and Hope end with time but the Rose of ardent- Charity lives through Eternity. --Barbara Leavell '50 I OUR CLASS PATRON, ST. ALOYSIUS One question on which we were unanimous was the choice of a Class Patron. Read the Life of St. Aloysius, and consider the Holy Year Challenge of Pope Puls to Youth, HBe Pure', and you will understand why. Aloysius Gonzaga was born at Castigllone, Italy, in such perilous times, that they hastened his baptism. The very first words that he pronounced were the holy names of Jesus and Mary. When he was only nine years of age he made a vow of perpetual virginity, before the altar of the Blessed Virgin, and he prac- ticed the strictest modesty during his life. He received his First Holy Communion from the hands of St. Charles Borromeo. At an early age he resolved to leave the world, and in a vision was directed by Our Blessed Lady to Join the Jesuits. Aloysius had finished his Logic while a page in the Spanish Court, and His Philosophy at Milan. While he was yet at Milan, one morning he was favored with a revelation--that he had only a short time to live. He died, repeating the Holy Name, on the octave of Corpus-Christi, being little more that twenty-two Years. Let us have recourse to the merits and intercession of St. Aloysius. Pope Benedict XIII gave him as a pattern to young 65444605044 The Sophomore Class this year chose as their colors Red and White, A world without color we could picture as easily as a world without light. Color harmony is valuable in almost every place where the eye's ability to receive color sensation is used. Red and White represent sterling qualities of character to people. --Raymond Siebold '50 which we should aspire. Red is expressive of martyrdom and love:- love of God, and of our fellow-men. White is symbolical of our Immaculate Mother's holy purity. --Rosemary Conner '50 f-vw ,..J,.vH 1 ffl' 2 ,..gg..

Ever since, innumerable persons in every kind of need have come to the feet of Christ to obtain through the Heart of Mary grace and a favorable hearing. Now since the apparltions in Fatima the urgent u request of Our Lord is more emphatic and irresistible, as the Blessed Virgin Mary's words demonstrateQ We honor the Heart of Mary because the Heart of Mary is the faithful guardian and the sacred depository. St. Luke wishes to inform us that there is one Heart above all others, that is penetrated with all these divine things, and has preserved and weighed them adequately. 'His Mother kept all these things in her Heart,' But She did not keep all these things in her heart for her own advantageg she kept them also for usg she kept them as sacred relics, as the foundation stones on which her Son wished to build His Church. We honor the Immaculate Heart of Mary, because it is the foundation of the spiritual life of the world. The 'FIAT' that made Mary Mother of God and of Man, sprang from her Immaculate Heart.

Children of Mary Sodality ,,flEE2E9 !,f,ff4v Xa --:X We honor the Heart of Mary, because it is the COUNTERPART of the Heart of Jesus. After the Heart of Jesus, it is the PUREST and HOLIEST Heart that ever beat within a human body. The Heart of Jesus is a LOVING Heart, 'full of goodness and love.W So is Mary's Heart, the most affectionate of hearts after that of Jesus'. We honor the Heart of Mary, because Our Blessed Lady, in her apparitions to the three little shepherds of Fatima, ex- pressly told them to pray to her Immaculate Heart for the con- version of sinners. 'To save them, Our Lord wishes that there be established in the whole world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I tell you is done, MANY SOULS will be saved.' The Heart of Mary is the book of life, in it God writes all those who honor her Immaculate Heart with special devotion. Veneration of the Immaculate Heart of Mary goes hand in hand with adoration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. --Julia Bucci '50 UAN APPRECIATION'- Our Sophomore Year has come to an end, and with it our school days at St. Joseph's. But before saying farewell we must express our appreciation to our teachers, the Sisters of St. Joseph, for the great interest they have taken in us during the past ten years, Yes we remember all our teachers, Sister Roberta, Sister Marce, Sister Eulalia, Sister Frances, Sister Carmelita, Sister Henrietta, Sister Johanna and Sister Margaret Mary. And to each and everyone we say personally 'Thanks for everything Sister and may God reward you as only He canu. To the student body and fellow classmates WFarewel1 and God Bless youu. --Rosemary Conner '50, -fww, , ws-..-.-.-- - , .avail-,-, 4 Q -'1 BEVERLY CONNORS President of the Children of Mary 3 P I 1 1, 35 5 3 5 Q L W 4 L?

Have you heard that the people of Ireland presented Fatima with a beautiful Monstrance? In 1948 a devoted client of Our Lady of Fatima, gratefully fulfilling a promise made two years before for the granting of a very special gift, initiated the gift Monstrance by forming a Committee for the reception of voluntary Jewelry, and so forth, towards its manufacture. The Monstrance is built on a four paneled base, to represent the four provinces of Ireland. Each panel is heavily chased with Celtic ornamentatlon and inset are: a Jeweled figure of St..Pat- rick, a figure of St. Bridgidg two of the Fatima doves. The bottom step of the base is set with large amethysts and rising from this portion of the base, between the four panels, are the stems of the holly-oak bursting out of the top to form a throne on which Our Lady stands. Immediately over the figures of St. Patrick and St. Bridgid is a spring release, which allows the upper por- tion of the Monstrance to be detached from the shaft of the Mon- strance, is shown just emerging from the cloud or mist. The plaque, Jeweled with diamonds, of the Sacred Heart and which appears at the top of the shaft forms the connecting shield of the rosary. This plaque is guarded on each side by chased re- presentations of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Im aculate Heart of Mary. -Rosemary Conner '50 mbitious ashful arefree aring nergetlc aithful raceful eroes rrestible oyful ind ikeable ischievous ice ld Reliable ollte uiet efined lim alkative seful igorous itty -citing outhful estful ST.

Rosemary Conner is busy for life, She's the only one that's a real housewife. Raymond Seibold a well known name, Is now pilot of an airplane. James Murphy our lad so fair, Spends his time fixing hair. Barbara Leavell, the lady so tall, Is one in white who stands in the hall. Carolyn Smith in her pent--house on high, Just sits and watches the millions roll by. To Jerry Wilson we can't give the gong, He's made his success by playing ping-pong. 4-T'5'N f l' Q Q Ed Meyer, our famous class dreamer, Just saw the world go by on an ocean steamer.

When we began to work on the annual we all had fond hopes of making it the best annual ever published, but none of us realized the work entailed in publishing a year book. We knew absolutely nothing about layout sheets, captions, paper borders, mounting sheets, cuts, Dummy Annuals, and the multitude of other terms con- nected with this line of work, The canvassing for ads was quite an enjoyable experience for us, although we did have to make a second or third trip occasionally. We greatly appreciate the cooperation of the Sisters and the student body. We wish to thank Sister Margaret Mary especially for her kindness and understanding in helping us, We know that we could have accomplished very little with her generous help. We are giving this Holy Year Edition of The Josephlum to you, with the sincere hope that it will bring as much pleasure to you as it has to us, and that our literary endeavors have not been in vain. --Julia Bucci '50 ..4'-Fx. lr - O V 4 Y - Q F R E S H M E N CLASS OFFICERS Pres1dent---- ------ ----Thomas C Vice President ----------- --J onner ohn Curran Secretary-Treesurer-------Dorothy Parr CLASS INVOCATION Lord Increase Our Faith CLASS COLORS Maroon and Gray CLASS FLOWER Snow White Rose CLASS ROLL Thomas Conner John Curran Janet Curran Beverly Fettig Jack Fettig Nancy Hayes Philip Jung Jane Wilson Jerry Kelioh Larry Mctltresh Dorothy Parr Maurice Parr Larry Stine Jenene Ring Maribell Wheatly f R., A W , fi -r ' K , tk .Y ,mx ,, x as 4 ,Q W 5 'JE f +A 5 , 'W , K' 1 1,411 ., I . gif ,ff -ey fi? 1 .y 4 -1.- .1 ra 1 riwn?

'- ' N V i ' l 4 G U E S S W H 0 I A M by Jerry Kelich I was a member of the first Triumvirate, and had many ac complishments to make me popular. I helped put down a rebellion in Spain. I was given a command to rid the Mediterranean Sea of Pirates. I did this in ninty days. Who am I? by Nancy Hayes I was the Emperor of Rome. My father was raised to the rank of Caesar and placed over the Western provinces. As a boy I was a hostage at the Eastern Court. When my father died his soldiers greeted me as Augustus. I presided at the Council of Nicaea in 325 and the next year determined upon the removal of the Capitol from Home to the East. I adopted the Christian re- ligion and after I became sole ruler I made it the religion of the State. In the year 357, while preparing to fight the King of Persia, I was taken 111 and died. I was buried in the Church of the Apostles at Constantinople. Who am I? by Beverly Fettlg I am considered an authority in almost every line of thought --logic, language, ethics, politics, etc. I wrote more and on a greater variety of subjects than did Plato. I am the first person who believed that the earth is round, reaching this con- clusion by noticing the shadow cast by the earth during an ecla lpse. Just as Plato was the greatest pupil of Socrates, so I am the most famous student of Plato. I was sometimes called the Nmaster of those who know.W Who am I? by Jenene Ring I was born in Florence, and I had a liberal education in Bologna, Padua, Naples, Paris and Oxford. I preceeded Rapheal and Michelangelo by two centuries and Shakespeare by three. When I was a mere youth I fell in love with a beautiful-girl whose early death led me to mourn. When banished from my home I wrote a poem which was considered the greatest piece of lit- erature of the middle ages. Who am I? by Jane Wilson I was the Prince of Greek orators, some say, of all orators. When I first began making speeches, I had trouble speaking clear- ly. So I went down to the beach often, and putting pebbles in my mouth, shouted so I could be heard above the roar of the wav- es. By doing this I soon conquered my stammerlng and became an excellent speaker. who am 1? I 111 4-f,1zS7Q, ,rH1 'r 4F'3 ,f:E:2b 's.'i- -:: NES TS? 5 - 1 G U E S S W H O I A M by Dorothy Parr I was a Greek poet, who went from place to place reciting and singing poems. I wrote two poems around 1200 to 800 B.C. These two poems were often considered the greatest epics ever composed. Later Greek boys learned them by heart and modern cultured people also need to be familiar with them. Who am I? by Larry McElfresh I was a pupil of the great Athenian philosopher, Aristotle. The Greeks did not think I could take my father's place. I knew the Illiad by heart and carried with me a copy which at night I put under my pillow. I tamed a wild horse, out of which I made almost a companion for myself. I once said 'There can not be two suns in the heaven.' When I found I could not untie the Gordian Knot, I took my sword and cut it in two. I found seventy cities, many of which were named after me. Who am I? by Maribell Wheatly I was an Athenian philosopher. I was very well educated and at about the age of 20, I came under the influence of the great teacher, Socrates, and became his best liked pupil and companion. When Socrates died, I wrote a series of dialogues in which Socrates was the leading speaker. These are written on a high moral plane, unsurpassed outside of the Holy Writ. My republic in particular has had influence in the shaping of modern political institutions. Who am I? by Philip Jung I was a Roman statesman and general, I served under Marius in the Jugurthine and Cimbrin wars and was chosen praetor. I was appointed to the position of the command of the Roman army. From 87 to 84 B.C. I carried on a vigorous war in Greece and Asia. I forced Mlthridates to sue for peace. Who am I? by Tommy Conner Thirty years from 461 to 431 B.C., Is often called my 'Gold en Agen for during most of that time I was the moving Spirit in everything important that happened in Athens. Part of the time I held no office myselfg yet I determined who should hold the leading positions and the People's Assembly followed my wishes almost without question for many years. I spent money lavishly, trying to beautify Athens. Who am I? m ww,- +4 ff ! Q 1 ,ur A 1 35' Q, V3 P M5 Q. A. 3.3 , 4s ... , ... ,.. .faT..q.f.I1 -N wi 1 .

The reason I like St. Melnrad better than any other is, no doubt, because I have been there, and I have seen how wonderful it is. At St. Meinard they have very nice stone buildings, made from stone from their own quarries, They also have a very large farm, and fine dairy cattle. On part of their land is the coal mine that provides all their fuel. Sports are encouragedg they have football and basketball fields, tennis courts, track field, handball courts, and a fine gymnasium. Who would want more! It looks as if sports here is a Big Business. I have met many of the priests and teachersg they are very nice, and that is why I like St. Meinrad. This is Holy Year, so I will pray that I may realize my ambition. --Tom Melvin '52 MY FAVORITE HOBBY Having a hobby is almost a necessity in this day and ageg everybody has one or more. My favorite hobby is collecting pictures of transportation vehicles. In this collection I have cars from the gay nineties up to the end of the first half of the twentieth century. I have many pictures of the horse and buggy days, and many of the various new cars. Under each picture I have the year the car was modeled and the type of car it is. It is a very interesting and enjoyable hobby. When I have company I show them this album. --Shirley J. Fisher '52 3 i Y 7 6 40'-4 ' , ,, F jawn?

Its leaves were turn- ing red and yellow, Across the street at St. Joseph School there was a buzz of activity. The good Sisters had made their appearance. Shouting, bustling children and straggling dogs overran the sidewalk and school yard. The magnolia tree had shed its leaves. Small children kicked through piles of crisp, brown maple leaves gathered against the curbstone. Unnoticed by children and adults near the Manger scene the crooked branches of the magnolia tree bent in the cold winter wind. Heaps of snow bordered the school entrance. The magnolia tree shivered through long, chilly months of snow, rain and ice. Children hurried in and out of school.. One day the sun warmed the heart of the magnolia tree. The sparkle of sap flowed upward to each tiny twig. The magnolia tree, a mass of pink and white blooms was admired by everyone. Maple trees put forth their pale green leaves. A few golden yellow dandelions, snuggled against the building, caught their share of sunshine. Robins hopped ab- out the grassy lawn. The little magnolia tree lifted its blossoms to the heavens, until one day, growing tired, it let them drop, petal by petal, to the ground. Leaves replaced blossoms. There was laughter as children hurried from school carrying their books. The hot sun beat down on the magnolia tree. At St. Jos- ephs School a huge brown butterfly rested for a moment on the handle to the entrance door, moving its wings slowly back and forth. Tall grass bent over little bare spots in the lawn. Big windows of the school, like so many giant eyes with win- dowsblind eyelids, closed. St. Joseph School rested in a summer siesta.

The opening chorus--On the Banks created the proper atmosphere for the 'of the Wabash-- enthusiastlc people. The story of the venerated Hoosier Poet was told and later made complete by an interesting discussion of his poetic works. It was noted that Riley had much of the power in which Stevenson is supreme--that power of remembering accurately and giving full expression to the points of view of childhood. The perennial fascination of the circus in 'The Circus Day Parade' illustrates this particularly well. 'The Treasures of the Wise Man' represents another class of Mr. R11ey's poems in which he moralizes in a fashion that makes people willing to be preached at. The Freshman Class presented a timely little Playlet --Our Lady of the Rosary--to cooperate with the world-wide endeavour to promote devotion to our Blessed Lady, i X L i A 1' l ,,Q,,,,,,,f, Q:25Sz!,,,f,f' X3 1 This is a true incident df when happened te three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal in the year 1917.

St. Theodore is our Pastor's patron, and in keeping with this Carolyn Smith gave a short account of the Life of St, Theodore. The next event was Armistice Day, the day on which the Allies and the Central Powers ceased hostilities in 1918. Many brave young men gave their lives for the freedom which we enjoy. Lastly, November the sixth to the twelfth, was American Education Week. The special theme for this week was NCh1ldren's Rights in American Dgmocracyu. The Freshmen discussed some of these basic rights, The Sophomore Class responded to the Roll Call by quoting from Shakespeare. Nancy Hayes added a touch of humor by the recitation of WHow Moseline counted the Eggsu, The Sophomore girls presented a touching little Playlet-- 'The V1s1onary's Dreamu. CAST Visionary . . Julia Bucci The Blessed Virgin . . Barbara Leavell Guardian Angel . . Rosemary Conner The Angelic Choir . . . Beverly Fettig, Jane Wilson, Jenene Ring and Dorothy Parr The concluding Choruses were NBeautiful Angelu rendered by the First Grade, and WO Gloriosa Vlrglnumn, by the High School. The Playlet was climaxed by a very beautiful tableau. At the conclusion of the program Father Hammes expressed his appreciation for the enthusiastic celebration of his Names- day, noting in particular the splendid turn out for Holy Mass and Holy Communion--and not to be outdone in generosity, de- clared the rest of the day free. And as both Pastor and child- ren experienced the Njoy of givingu, so ended a perfect day. --Carolyn Smith '50 F W K L3- ...F-55x -..5 ' !,zf'sE2E?' 1f'f ? 1 K T CHRISTMAS TIME Snow is falling everywhere, The world is full of cheery Brisk pine scents the winter air, It's Christmas time of year. Bright lights in the window, Green holly on the door, The cozy fire in the fireplace says 'It's Christmas time once more'. There, close by the fireplace Stands our decorated tree, With all its tiny, chiming bells Bringing Christmas joy to me. To all, these Christmas tokens Bring laughter, Joy, and cheer, And I know that all these things Shall live throughout the year. I wish you a 'Merry Chr1stmas', With soft snow on the ground, With the far-off tinkle of silver bells, And a brisk scene all around. With a candle in the window, A wreath upon the door A sparkling tree, a crackling fire And yet, there is much, much more. There's love and understanding, Forgiveness, Kindness, Cheer: And all the gifts the Christ Child brings At Christmas time of year. --Maribell Wheatley '51 3 Jw, K fx, , L , V , W.- 71. ,Ut AH L. .,-L, , .M I K , C H R I S T M A S C R I B A T E L W O O D TO THE GREAT DELIGHT OF THE SCHOOL CHILDREN, MSGR, CHAPMAN HADE HIS BEAUTIFU CHRISTMAS CRIB COMPLETE.

JOSEPH'S SCHOOL, THANKS TO SISTER M, JEAN WERLINE '50 G U E S S W H O I A M by Maurice Parr I began my career at the age of fourteen as the chief of a small tribe, and soon displayed the marked military talent which made me one of the greatest conquerors in history. Claiming a divine call, I so inspired my soldiers that they willingly follow- ed my to battle. The most importamt episode in my career was the conquest of Morthern China. After a series of lengthy campaigns Egkin, the capitol, was taken. Turkestan was next invaded. o am I? by Janet Curran I was born in Rotterdam, Holland in the year 1466 and lived till 1556. I was the first free intermational European scholar to live solely for learning. From my boyhood, I devoted myself to ancient language. I became a priest in a monastic brotherhood, At twenty-eight I became secretary to a bishop, who allowed me to continue my studies in Paris. An English friend also helped me when I began to study Greek. Who am I? by John Curran When Edward the confessor died I declared that I should be elected King of England. However when Harold a brave Saxon was was elected to the throne instead of me I came across the English Channel to invade England. Harold hastened to meet me and a great battle was fought. Harold was killed and I had myself elected and crowned as king. Before long I made myself master of all Eng- land. 'I established a new kind of feudal system and took a great census of all the people and property in England and entered them in a book called the 'Dormsday Book'. I later called together all the landholders and made them swear allegiance directly to me as the center of authority. Who am I? by Larry Stine I was Pipp1n's son and the greatest character of the Middle agesg my people were German. I was aware that my people knew very little. I wanted them to be educated so I established schools, monasteries and cathedrals. I organized schools for the training of young men for the churchg Much of my reign was spent in warg I conquered the Saxons east of the Rhine, and made them accept Chr- istianityg I also conquered the Lombards, I did all this fighting to spread peace and extend Christianity. On Christmas day in the year 800, I knelt in St. Peters in Rome where the Pope placed a crown on my head and proclaimed me W Emperor of the Romans,' Who am I? G U E S S W H O I A M by Jack Fettig I was born about 100 B. C. I was connected with the popular party and in favor with the people at large. I had a little fortune which I spent freely, buying votes and giving banquets and free shows. When I had spent most of my money, I concluded that if I wanted to keep on being popular I would have to make a military record and have an army to back me. After the First Triumvirate was formed, I had myself assigned as proconsul in Gaul. That gave me my army. In a few years I successfully established Roman authority in Gaul, introducing the Latin language, Roman customs, and Roman authority. I was accused of wanting to be the kingg but if I did, I did not take the crown. Who am I? HISTORICAL CHARACTERS l. Jerry Kelich . . . . . Pompey 2. Nancy Hayes , . Constantine 3. Beverly Fettig .

Julius Caesar LITTLE COMPANION OF JESUS Have you ever seen the little red light in the sanctuary? Or have you ever wondered what it is there for? If you have, I would like to tell you a little story. Once when Jesus was alone in the church, He began to get lonely, and wondered when someone would come to visit Him. Our Lord waited and waited, but still nobody came to pay Him a visit or thank Him for all He had done for mankind. Many hours passed and still the church was empty. Suddenly Our Lord noticed a little glimmering flame. It twinkled so much it looked as if it were talking to Jesus, This is what it seemed to say, 'Dear Jesus, I I love you and I would like to remain with you always. I will stay with you and talk with you when nobody else is here, except You and me, dear Jesus. May I stay with Youf' Our Lord answered, 'Yes, Little Red Light, you may stay with me Until the end of the world. And until the end of the world you shall be called 'Little Companion of Jesus' U, ' Sharon Glotzbach-'53 fifpim ri ff?

We also wish to extend our thanks to Mr. Melvin for his valuable assistance, and for his generous contributions to the Athletic fund. We, the Sophomores, are particularly grateful for the brand new equipment, and for the transportation facilities provided. To our kind friends, Mr. B. Fettig, Mr. G. Dauenhauer, Mr. J.

His coaching of the Freshman team was re- sponsible for a very successful season. The Junior High Team, due to their lack of height, lost quite a few games. But they have learned to take defeat as they would victory. To a team a coach is just as useful as a star playerg he must be an ingenious strategist in critical situationsg he must be cool and give courage and cheer to his players. For his teams Success he must be constantly alert to find their errors and to correct them. At all times the welfare of the boys is one of his greatest concerns. At this time we wish to express our thanks to our basketball coach of this season, Mr. Ted Kiefer. -Ed Hayes, Tony DeBon1s '50 ge ' F H...-.L fvafv- 3 Losf-2, n 0 f OI'I'9n '33 S B favs?

Q U E E N 0 F M A Y. It is the pralseworthy ambition of every Sophomore girl to have the privilege of crowning Our Blessed Lady's statue with a garland of spring flowers. Miss Rosemary Conner was elected by popular vote for this high honor. On the evening of May the seventh, the Solemn Opening of Mary's Month was held. The beautiful procession of the school children was led by the crossbearer, Tony DeBon1s, The Corona- tion party consisted of the little flower girls, led by Miss Jenene Ring, who carried the banner of the Blessed Virgin. Then in colorful array, came the attendants escorting the Queen, who looked very pretty in a lovely snow-white gown. She carried a large bouquet of American Beauty Roses, which she later present- ed to Our Blessed Lady, The Loyal attendants were: the Misses Jean Werline, Beverly Connors, Julia Bucci, Phyllis Bradley, Ruth Fritz, Barbara Leavell and the Maid of Honor, Carolyn Smith. Carol Jean Robertson car- ried the Crown for Our Blessed Lady, and her little companions Rebecca Connors and Louann Hoose were train bearers to the Queen. All three little girls looked very attractive in their pretty pink gowns. The whole ceremony was very impressive, and no doubt Our Blessed Mother smiled as she looked down from heaven and blessed all who were gathered in her honor. Beverly Connors, Rosemary Conner '50 YES, YOU CAN ENJOY LITE IOBI WITH IUSIC With St. Cecilia as their patron, and 'Music Study Exalts Life' as their motto, the children of St. Joseph's School enjoy life with music. Music is one of the greatest human factors in character building., It is truly a necessity in the life of every child, for it is a fine art that speaks a universal language. Music, is indeed, a great art, but it is a science as well,. in that it requires so much accuracy, clear thinking, and keen mental adjustment. To render music artistically, a disciplined mind is absolutely necessary. The disciplinary value of music as a school subject is seen in the physical nature of the child. His emotions to which it appeals most, are lifted to respond to the higher things of life. e Q 'S tv: Q' 'iii 3 3 3 1 1 1 Q ,.-, 142 .,:lf ,Ugg 1 .,...,.,....n PW Qu: sffx ' W' V5 7 lm ,za JI 5'7'x 2-1 iff, X N PERFECT ATTENDANCE FIRST SEMESTER Fourth Grade Mary Ann Schick Mary Louis Spies Rita Klemme David Balser Second Grade Marlene Coryell Ruthie Fettlg Mary Kay Boll Kathryn Collis Charles Short Third Grade Nancy Lee Tancey Kenneth Connors First Grade Sue Ann Laub Loucille Jehlen Mary Joan Klemme Carol Robertson Joan Hodson Rebecca Connors David Short Jimmy Pedro Pete Fettig Q O 'I' Q 'I O UNITED October 17-24 student body of St. NATIONS WEEK OBSERVED , United Nations Week was observed by the Joseph's.
