Those who know the meaning of the word understand very well the task which this class is trying to accomplish—to learn more. And that is the prime ambition of the entire class. There are, however, quite a few athletes representing the Class of ’45 on the different varsity teams. On the football team are Mike Cody, Howard Spresser, Dick Hermann, Dick Imhoff, Joe Carlos, and Rudy Gildehaus. The basketball team was not as fortunate when it came to the number of sophomore athletes on its roster. Two, however, made the grade, Howard Spresser and Mike Cody, both of whom rendered valuable service to the varsity basketball cause. The class chose wisely when it elected the class officers. To fill the Presidency was chosen Howard Spresser. Vice-President is Dick Imhoff, and Earl Redden filled the chair as Secretary and Treasurer.

JUNIOR CLASS To receive an education is a blessing, but to receive a Catholic edu¬ cation in a free country is a privilege for which the Junior Class is thankful. Back in 1940, the Class of ’44 was found to be the smallest in the Academy. This jinx seemed to follow it through the years. Upon registration last fall the members were surprised to find they were eight in number. The Newman Club did not find itself suffering, however, for lack of Junior talent. The play put on at the close of the first semester was carried through with the help of such Juniors as Dobe, Serewicz, Schul- theis, and Teaney. Three of those mentioned are now officers in the organization. What is lacking in quantity should have good quality.” This saying came true when the Men of ’44” took the laurels after the mid-year examinations for the highest class average. This fact proves that they have both school spirit and the will to succeed. The recent class elections reveal Charles Teaney as President, James Dobe, Vice-President, and Dave Clemens, Secretary and Treasurer. First Row (left to right): A. Schultheis, J. Welly, C. Teaney, A.

They are finding it at St. Joseph’s Academy. On September 7, 1942, seventeen young men began their high school career at St. Joseph’s; at the beginning of the second semester two more students enrolled. The election of officers was the beginning of unity. As President the class elected Frank Ritter; as Vice-President, Robert Hummel; and Robert Eder and Con Fecher as Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. Both in scholastic standing and in athletic ability these Freshies” proved well above average. They held a scholastic average of which any class could be proud, for not a few showed their perseverance in studies by maintaining an average of A” throughout the year. On the bas¬ ketball floor six freshmen were found among the Reserves, and the rest on the various Intramural teams. To their high school career the class has given an enviable beginning.
