“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.
