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.
