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.

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.

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.
