Dirksen, C.PP.S., S.T.D., President, St. Joseph’s College Very Rev. Joseph M. Marling, C.PP.S., Ph.D., Provincial, American Province, Society of the Precious Blood Rev. Rufus H. Esser, C.PP.S., M.A. Dedication To Father Rufus Esser we, the Class of 1942 , affectionately dedicate our Yearbook. Some three years ago Father Esser conceived a plan for a yearbook similar to the one now realized. We deem it a privilege to dedicate this Annual to our friend, Father Esser, who has long been recognized as one of the most prominent men on the campus. In his stay at the College Father Esser has held the position of principal of the Academy, and has likewise served as president of the College. This Yearbook will pass away like an ebbing tide, but you, Father Esser, will never die in the hearts of the men of St. Joseph’s. Again, our gratitude to you, Father, as an outstanding professor, an exemplary priest, and a true friend of the students. The Road to Knowledge Looking east from the main Academy Entrance—one of the beauty spots of a beauti¬ ful campus. “The general problem of Education is how best to place instinct and passion under the control of reason and conscience, of higher motives and tastes, that men may learn to find their pleasure and their happiness in doing what brings health, knowledge and virtue The northern half of the College Administration Build¬ ing—the home of St. Joseph’s Academy. “The end of education is the formation of character; character rests on the basis of moraKty; and morality, if it have life and vigor, is interfused with religion. True re¬ ligion is inseparable from right education.” For St. Joseph’s students, the Chapel gives meaning to mental attainment and to physical prowess. Lourdes Grotto of Mary Immaculate, Patroness of the students and their Country. Xavier Hall—houses s dents preparing for i Priesthood in the Society the Precious Blood. ‘The aim of culture, as it is also the aim of religion, is to create ayi inner strength and enlightment which supersedes and makes superfluous mere legalism.” Dwenger Hall—Academy refuge in time of illness. “The mind,” says Schiller, “possesses only what it does. What strength is there not in the rich joyfulness of youth, bursting forth into glad song and laughter, and passing lightly away from hardship and disappointment, out again to inhere the glorious sunshine plays upon the rippling waters and the happy flowers.” To knowledge and virtue must be added physical health. The College gymnasium is available to Academy stu¬ dents. The new Alumni Field- house is freely used by the men of St. Joseph’s in inter¬ school competition. The Class Rings of ’42 The St. Joseph’s class rings of 1942 are symbolical of Catholic Educa¬ tion. In them are represented the trials, troubles, and sacrifices of the average boy who is doing his utmost to succeed in life. They are the emblems of friendship and unity between the Class of ’42 and its revered Alma Mater. The time of parting, moreover, is at hand. Some twenty boys have finished the last schooling that they shall receive; others have merely completed a preparatory course to enable them to further their education. As the years roll on, however, there will always be a tell-tale symbol on the ring finger of the left hand of our graduating senior, informing him of his duty to his Church, to his Country, and to his Alma Mater.

Last Will and Testament We, the Class of 42,” presumably of unsound mind and lack of common sense, do bequeath our eccentricities and pecularities to the coming senior class for traditional purposes and also to contaminate them with the same nonsensical element that caused our mild disturbances; consequently, we hereby, individually and collectively, will these attributes which have made this class so infamous and insecure: I, Thomas Anthony, hereby bequeath my lack of funds and abundant debts to Joseph Probst.

Sc., the noted anthropologist, together with his party of natives, is reported missing somewhere in the wilds of central Africa. Collier Buys Indianapolis Indians Already holding a monopoly of sev¬ eral Indianapolis business concerns, Joe Collier has added to his investments by purchasing the top-ranking Indianap¬ olis Baseball Team. Just Returns From Big Business Trip Back from South America where he spent six months visiting his numerous banana plantations, Sal Corso now has a monopoly of the banana industry in the United States. Signs Contract With St. Joseph ' s Tom Fox, owner of Fox Experi¬ mental Chemistry Laboratories, recent¬ ly signed a contract to furnish his Alma Mater with chemical supplies. New Head of National Project Recently appointed President of the W.P.A., John Gavin, who started life holding a shovel in his hand, has ex¬ changed it for a fountain pen. Hair Does The Trick Bob Greene has been pictured in the more popular magazines under the heading, Don’t let this happen to you.” Bob is a well paid model for the Greaso Hair Oil ads. Gross Accepts Position With Du Pont His theory on the fifth dimension materialized, Robert Gross has accepted a position with the Du Pont Labora¬ tories. Finally Caught Jack Henry, a racketeer boss of the notoriously powerful Calumet region political machine, was recently indicted for failure to pay his income tax. Makes Big Addition To Poultry Farm The Hoosier, John Hutchinson, has recently added 300 buildings to his small city of chicken houses, and there¬ by has become the most famous pro¬ ducer in the world. Brilliant Baseball Career Ended Joe Joseph retired this year from professional baseball, after a third oper¬ ation on his pitching arm failed to al¬ leviate the muscle disorder brought on from overwork. Builds Largest Super- Service Station In control of the output of gasoline in Indiana, Bob Millea has just com¬ pleted building the largest super-service station in the United States. Moran Still Going Leo Moran holds the distinction of being the youngest General in the his¬ tory of the United States Armed Forces. He enlisted at the age of eight¬ een and advanced rapidly to his pres¬ ent position. Makes New Milk Discovery Because many of his cows have died from a recent epidemic, Bob Schmelter has developed a new method of produc¬ ing synthetic milk. Bob claims that his new milk contains more calories and more abundant forms of vitamin Z 1 than any other milk. New President of Stock Exchange Max Sc hmid, a noted cosmopolite, was last month elected president of the New York Stock Exchange. He made his first million in his native city of Chicago.

Leahy, J. Mallock, R. Richerts, J. Graham, J. Lange, J. Richert, R. McNamara, The Juniors The Junior Class of ’43 has demonstrated its ability in both scholastic and athletic endeavors. The former reveals that talent and ability are not lacking. More notable has been the Juniors’ contribution to athletics. The names of Wun¬ derlich, McNamara, Leahy, McElroy, and Richert spelled baseball prowess in recent Academy history. The same names, with the addition of little, dynamic Robert Meiners and large dynamic Richard Latendresse, have brought fresh laurels to the Juniors in basketball. In its class officers the Third-Form” discovered capable student leaders. John Wunderlich wielded the gavel as president, with Edmund Joseph, his cooperative assistant, as vice-president. Joseph Probst served as class secretary and treasurer. First row (left to right): B. Domsic, D. Clemens, B. Juhasz, J. Barrett, A. Serewicz; second row: J. Dobe, E. Kleine, C. Teaney, F. Clark, W. Spresser. The Sophomores Undaunted by the trials of Freshman life, the Sophomore Class entered the Academy as the smallest class of the year. It numbered only ten. The highest class average for the semester examinations is in the proud possession of the men of ’44.” And despite their meagre number the Sophomores are not back¬ ward in sports. If a Soph does not make the varsity, he courageously joins an intra¬ mural team. But the class is not lacking in varsity material. One of the star for¬ wards on the varsity is Cap” Brading; Ed Kleine is a regular center on the reserve team. The baseball team fared even better: Ed Kleine, Ben Domsic, and Jim Dobe made the team. The Class is capably led by its president, Jim Dobe; vice-president, Edward Kleine; and secretary-treasurer, Charles Teaney. First row (left to right): R. Imhoff, G. Smith, E. Redden, R. Etzkorn, G.

The Freshmen The Freshman Class of 1941-’42, which entered St. Joseph’s portals on September 8, 1941, was one of the largest in the history of the school. Its first official act was the elec¬ tion of officers. To guide its destiny for the year, the class chose as its president, Jose Carlos, together with Mike Cody as vice-president. William Clark and Earl Redden were elected to the offices of secretary and treasurer, respectively. The class as a whole has shown keen interest in all the campus activities. Its members are found on the I-M; and the Farley Stamp Club has entrusted the office of treasurer to one of the Freshmen. The school spirit of these neophytes has reached a new high as can be attested by the vocal support which they have given to both the Academy and College teams. Their scholastic efforts have not been below par, and the class boasts of several men who have carried an A” average for the year. No prophecy can be made as to the future of the class, but it has the opportunity, here at St. Joseph’s, to obtain a well-rounded education based on solid religious prin¬ ciples.

Community Students Upon the completion of three years of high school at Brunnerdale Seminary, Canton, Ohio, students preparing for the priesthood as members of the Society of the Precious Blood, continue their studies at St. Joseph’s. Here they complete high school and two years of college work. Special emphasis is placed upon the study of Latin, Greek, and English. Although they may avail themselves of the facilities of the entire school, one building, Xavier Hall, is the exclusive residence of the Community Students. The hall itself is one of the most modern buildings on the campus, having been completed in 1940. It contains study halls, dormitories, locker rooms, a recreation room, rooms for the prefects, and a special suite for the Bishop. The hall is con¬ nected with the Chapel, which is built on a style similar to that of Xavier Hall. First row (left to right): R. Gross, S. Corso, J. Wolford, J. Collier; second row: D. Stuhlmueller, J. Hutchinson, T. Fox, R. Millea, T. Anthony. High School Collegians St. Joseph’s Academy has complied fully with the national program for speedier educational facilities. Any academy senior who, having completed seven semesters of high school and having fifteen credit units to his honor, may enter college. Nine seniors fulfilled these requisites at the end of the first semester this year. Of these several were outstanding baseball and basketball stars, and their advancement to College status was a loss to the Academy. A number of the new collegians are still tak ing one or two academic subjects in order that they may graduate in May. This stream-lined program shall be continued throughout the duration, so that there will be a greater and more efficient number of educated men to help our govern¬ ment at a later date. Regular sleep adds to Academy proficiency. Brother Louis, Director of the Study Hall and Dormitory. Hall of Supervised study Three Great Aids To Academy Life First row (left to right): R. Meiners, R.

The Yearbook By the choice of the student-body, the task of editing the first Academy yearbook fell to Joseph Wolford. Through his efforts, together with those of his staff and those of the entire student-body, the volume after many anxious months has become an actuality. Its merits, of course, can only be adjudged by its perusers. Whatever lacks and errors it contains will, it is hoped, be condoned by at least the Academy students who have some understanding of the obstacles that the staff had to overcome. For them the chief aim has been attained: An Annual—a treasure-trove of school-day memories. Through it may you, fellow-students, frequently relive the happy hours you spent among the friendly halls and Professors and students of St. Joseph’s. THE STAFF Editor-in-Chief.. }.

The Newman Club The Newman Club, as it is known today, was founded in 1939 for those seniors and juniors who are interested in acquiring proficiency in expression and public speak¬ ing. In its meetings the members are trained in the procedures of parliamentary law. They are obliged to present orations, take part in declamations, dialogues and in debates. In each semester members who show sufficient talent present a play before the public in the school auditorium. The club itself is under the leadership of the officers, who themselves are subordin¬ ates of their moderator, Father Robert Kosh. The officers are: Paul Wehrle, president; Joseph Joseph, vice-president; John Gavin, secretary; Edmund Joseph, treasurer; Joseph Probst, critic; Richard Latendresse, Gerald Leahy, and Edward McElroy, compose the executive committee. The Newman Club’s 1942 production, What A Night,” was staged in April, and met with pleasing success. The play, a three- act mystery by Carl Pierce, revolved about the mysterious disappearance of Alfred Bur¬ ton, wealthy Chicago lawyer, and the solv¬ ing of it by the super-sleuth, Ed. Gill.

Quinlivan, R.McNamara, J. Wunderlich. The Acolyte Club A distinct spiritual favor, offered to a boy during his attendance at the Academy, is the privilege of assisting the priest at Holy Mass. To encourage students to avail themselves of this opportunity, the Acolyte Club was brought into existence. Because of the large number of priests offering Holy Mass every day, each member has the privilege of serving at the Altar daily. Although occasionally an acolyte is obliged to make a small sacrifice by way of getting up a little earlier, the benefits that he derives far surpass any sacrifices he could make. The club has an enrollment of twenty-one. Its officers are: Edward McElroy, presi¬ dent; Paul Wehrle, vice-president; Joseph Probst, secretary, and Jerome Lange, treasur¬ er. Father Charles Robbins is its Moderator. The Farley Stamp Club The Farley Stamp Club was formed in 193 6 for the purpose of stimulating interest in philately and of enabling student stamp collectors to receive the maximum enjoy¬ ment from their hobby. From the first small charter group, which held its meetings in classrooms, the club has grown so large that it now has its own club-rooms. Stamps, rare first-day covers, and trophies obtained through the efforts of the members, line the club-room walls. The Club, in addition to subscribing to reliable national stamp periodicals, has a com¬ plete philatelic library of its own. Through its affiliation with the National Federation of Stamp Clubs and the Society of Philatelic Americans, it enables its members to participate in national conventions and to display their collections in national exhibi¬ tions. In 1940 the club won the coveted Le Grand Payne Trophy for its work on an oration by the club’s president at the National Federation of Stamp Clubs’ convention. Two of the more popular clubs on the campus are the Smoking and Billiard Clubs. It is here that stories and cigarettes are swaped, war and other current events discussed, and pool and ping-pong are played. Via radio and the daily newspapers the students are correctly informed. The clubs are under the co-management of Edmund Joseph and Edward McElroy. Through their combined efforts the rooms are cleaned and kept orderly. The clubs pro¬ vide every form of indoor relaxation to satisfy any high school boy’s desires. The Smoking and Billiard Clubs FATHER ROOF Father Roof, known and liked by all Academy students, came here in 1929. He was appointed Athletic Director in 1937, and ever since then had diligently and faithfully ( tried to make St. Joseph’s Academy more widely known. Father has achieved this end wonderfully. A constant fol¬ lower of the team, he has always been the truest fan of the Cubs.” Fr. Roof has fulfilled his job excellently, and all know that his efforts in behalf of St. Joe teams will (if possible) increase with the years. i DICK SCHARF Dick Scharf, the present mentor of St. Joseph’s Academy, took over the man¬ agerial reins in 1940 after completing a brilliant college career in the field of ath¬ letics at St. Joseph’s. While here he earned eleven letters in football, basketball, and baseball, and has frequently been referred to as the greatest halfback that St. Joseph’s has ever produced. Starting with the autumn baseball season of 1940, Dick turned out a truly great Academy team. In the autumn of 1941 his team won five and lost one. Dick’s first year as basket¬ ball coach can be termed highly success¬ ful, and the Academy is sure that in years to come he will, through his persistent ef¬ forts, develop athletic teams worthy to uphold the name of St. Joseph’s Acad¬ emy.

Baseball 1942 Baseball is in its second year as an inter-scholastic activity. Under the guidance of Coach Dick Scharf the Puma Cubs has become one of the best teams in this section, piling up an impressive record of 19 wins and 4 losses. Much credit for the successful fall season should go to the pitching staff of Joe Joseph, Lefty Gavin, and Ambrose Rushau, who allowed but 15 hits in six games. The standout performance of the year was Rushau’s no-hit, no-run victory over Reming¬ ton in which he struck out 14 of the 24 batters to face him. An enviable record is that of Captain Joe Wolford, who during the spring season of last year maintained a 500 batting average. The ability of the rest of the team predicts equal success for the future. First row (left to right): Ass’t Mgr. J. McHugh, R. Richert, R. Greene, Capt. R. Capt. R. Schmelter, R. Millea, C.

( Basketball 1942 The Puma Cubs’ 1941-’42 cage season was a mediocre one, eleven won and ten lost. But regardless of defeat or victory, the team always turned in a fine showing, and let the opposing team know that it had taken in a real game. A few of the high-light thrillers” of the year were the games with: 1) St. Mary’s of Anderson, one of the hotly contested games of the season, in which the Gaels managed to defeat the Cubs by a score of 40-37, although losing the victory later because of an ineligible man; 2) Joliet in which, on the Cubs’ home floor, a hard-fought game was tumbled from St. Joseph’s lap when Condon, a Joliet man, sank a field goal from far out, with twelve seconds of playing time remaining, and St. Joseph’s leading, 29-28; 3) Central Catholic of Hammond, on the Cubs’ floor, wherein St. Joseph’s gained a victory, 27-24, in an overtime period. The leading scorers for the Cubs were Cap” Brading with 200 points, followed by Bob Greene with 123. St. Joseph’s amassed a total of 574 points to its opponents’ 570. Capt. Bob Schmelter deserves great praise for his fine defensive play throughout the ? season. The Basketball Record 1935 - 1936 St. Joe 17 Monon . 27 St. Joe 20 Remington . 24 St, Joe 27 Mt.
