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.

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.

COMMUNITY STUDENTS These twenty-one seniors joined the Academy in September, 1942, to complete the high school training begun at Brunnerdale Seminary, Canton, Ohio. Their course emphasizes Latin, Greek, and English. Upon graduation they will enter the college department as two-year Pre-Philosophy students. The Community students are eligible for Academy athletics, in which they participate. Those students who do not participate in Academy athletics, take part in the extensive Intramural program planned for them. Though scholastically under the Academy wing, the Community students reside in the newly built Xavier Hall. This hall affords the Community students with all the needed facilities.
