Retreat-Master 1944 Rev. Lionel E. Pire, c.pp.s. Among the events of St. Joseph’s Academy none is so packed with meaning, so highly valued as the spiritual Retreat made by all the students each scholastic year. While daily emphasis upon the sacraments and prayer are maintained along with daily attendance at Holy Mass and Benediction, the students, contrary to all worldly opin¬ ion, are none the less greatly benefited by these days of Re¬ treat. It is during this time that the young man by means of conferences and sermons and personal talks looks into his spiritual self and aligns himself with eternity. For the current year that work and guidance was carried out by Father Fionel Pire, C.PP.S., one of the most able missionaries of the Society of the Precious Blood. TWKNTY-TWO

The Freshman Class, the largest group on the Academy campus, contributed its share to student activities both curricular and extra¬ curricular. Under the leadership of Eugene Ffartlage, their president, and with the help of James Bates, Jerry Beck, and Robert Doran, class vice- president, secretary and treasurer, they demonstrated all the vigor and freshness of mind which belongs to such beginners. In the War Fund Drive they took their place among the most generous contributors. On the varsity gridiron, basketball floor and on the diamond they were also represented. One Freshman, Steve Nyikos, earned the coveted Monogram in both football and basketball. In all that was healthy and good the Freshmen took their proper place. First Row: J. Bates, J. Beck, G.
