St Josephs Academy - Twin Towers Yearbook (Collegeville, IN)

The large Academy clubrooms furnish the students many indoor recreational facilities. Ping-pong, pool, and cards are the chief forms of amusement. In addition each clubroom con¬ tains a radio and magazines that keep the stu¬ dents occupied. A separate room with radio is available to those who wish to smoke. When winter comes, the Academy turns to indoor recreation. The elubiooms and fieldhouse are a natural attraction and afford many pleasant hours of entertainment. In addition to these places of recreation, a small gymnasium is the scene of many spirited intramural basketball games. The J Cafe or candy shop of the campus is perhaps the most popular of all of the stu¬ dents’ hangouts. Here the spirit of cheerful¬ ness and fraternity runs high and affords the student a short period of relaxation aw ay from the classrooms.

With this war-time issue, we have not forgotten those of our alumni who are now scattered throughout the world with the armed forces. Nor have we forgotten those who have given life or limb that we might take our place in a peace-time world as the leaders of tomorrow. It is with sombre pride that we have attempted a military theme in the annual this year, pride in those principles for the preservation of which America now sacrifices much and pride in the contribution our alumni are now making for the se¬ curity of our future. Our wish for the future is that yearbooks may forever after this war be paged, dreamed over, and enjoyed in the peacefulness of our homes, and not longed for in the grime of fox holes. Our many thanks to Father Joseph Sheeran, C.PP.S., fa¬ culty advisor, and to all staff members for cooperating in pre¬ senting this gift of the class of 1944-45 to the student body. Our sincere thanks also to Mr. Vincent Giese, editor of the College newspaper, Stuff, for his invaluable assistance in planning this year’s edition of Twin Towers.
