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

The Academy is fortunate in having a very fine band, formed from a combination of College and Academy students, under the direction of Mr. Paul Tonner, B. Mus. Besides appearing at most football and basket¬ ball games during the year, the band also presented two formal concerts of classical, semiclassical and modern selections. In addition to the enter¬ tainment which it provides for the Academy, that band has always fur¬ nished a splendid opportunity to its members to increase their love and appreciation of good music, and their skill in playing.

THE MONOGRAM CLUB This is the fourth year of existence of the Monogram Club, and it has been one of outstanding success.

Membership in the club is open to students who have earned the St. Joseph’s varsity monogram. Since the inception of the club, its member¬ ship has been rapidly increasing. Page forty-six

STUDENT COUNCIL For the first time in the history of St. Joseph’s Academy, a Student Council was organized under the direction of Father Henry Martin, C.PP.S., Father Edward Maziarz, C.PP.S., and Father Stanislaus Tuszynski, C.PP.S. The main purpose of the Council is to act as a mediator between the faculty and the student body; to create an atmosphere of respect and au¬ thority ; and to teach good citizenship, and knowledge of democracy. Jay Regan was elected president of the Council by one-half majority of the votes cast. Runner up to Jay was Frank Ritter. Other candidates were Bob Eder, Bob Hummel, and John Thieme. These four Seniors to¬ gether with three Juniors, Bill Briody, Jack Bush and Jack Costin; two sophomores, Don Kasperan and Don Mclnnis; and one freshman, John Raster, assist the president in organizing, promoting, and handling much student activity. Since the Council is a new organization with few established traditions and programs, it has had to proceed cautiously. Nevertheless, due to able leadership, to student participation, and to cooperation of the sponsors, it has developed into a very successful organization. Page forty-eight
